SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: November 6, 2013 AGENDA ITEM:
DEPARTMENT: Finance & Administrative Services CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson
PREPARED BY: Ann Xu, Accountant DIRECTOR: Mary Furey
SUBJECT: Treasurer's Report for the Month Ended September 30, 2013
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Review and accept the Treasurer's Report for the month ended September 30, 2013.
REPORT SUMMARY
California government code section 41004 requires that the City Treasurer submit to the City Clerk and
the legislative body a written report and accounting of all receipts, disbursements, and fund balances. The
Municipal Code of the City of Saratoga, Article 2 -20, Section 2- 20.035 designates the City Manager as
the City Treasurer. This report is prepared to fulfill this requirement.
The following attachments provide various financial transaction data for the City of Saratoga's Funds
collectively as well as specifically for the City's General (Operating) Fund, including an attachment from
the State Treasurer's Office of Quarterly LAIF rates from the 1st Quarter of 1977 to present.
FISCAL IMPACT
Cash and Investments Balance by Fund
As of September 30, 2013, the City had $331,269 in cash deposit at Comerica bank, and $13,894,005 on
deposit with LAIF. Council Policy on Working Capital Reserve Funds, adopted on April 20, 1994, states
that: for cash flow purposes, to avoid occurrence of dry period financing, pooled cash from all funds
should not be allowed to fall below $2,000,000. The total pooled cash balance as of September 30, 2013
is $14,225,274 and exceeds the minimum limit required.
Cash Summary
Unrestricted Cash
Comerica Bank $ 331,269
Deposit with LAIF $ 13,894,005
Total Unrestricted Cash $ 14,225,274
The following Fund Balance schedule represents actual funding available for all funds at the end of the
monthly period. This amount differs from the above Cash Summary schedule as assets and liabilities are
components of the fund balance. As illustrated in the summary below, Total Unrestricted Cash is
adjusted by the addition of Total Assets less the amount of Total Liabilities to arrive at the Ending Fund
Balance — which represents the actual amount of funds available.
..
Adjusting Cash to Ending Fund Balance
Total Unrestricted Cash $ 14,225,274
Plus: Assets 436,557
Less: Liabilities (1,456,084)
Ending Fund Balance $ 13,205,747
Fund Balance Designations
In February 2009, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement No. 54,
Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. This standard left unchanged the
total amount reported as fund balance, but substantially altered the categories and terminology used to
describe its components. The new categories and terminology focus, not on financial resources available
for appropriation, but on the extent to which the government is bound to honor constraints on the specific
purpose for which the amounts in the fund can be spent.
The components of fund balance are now categorized as follows: "non- spendable fund balance ",
resources that are inherently non - spendable from the vantage point of the current period; "restricted fund
balance ", resources that are subject to enforceable legal restrictions; "committed fund balance ", resources
whose use is constrained by limitations the government imposes upon itself through formal action at its
highest level of decision making and remains binding unless removed in the same manner; "assigned fund
balance ", resources that reflects a government's intended use of resources, such intent would have to be
established at either the highest level of decision making, by a body, or an official designated for that
purpose; and "unassigned fund balance ", net resources in excess of what can properly be classified in one
of the other four categories. Currently, the City's fund balance reserves fall into one of the four spendable
categories; restricted, committed, assigned, or unassigned fund balance.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION
The City would not be in compliance with Government Code Section 41004.

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: November 6, 2013 AGENDA ITEM:
DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson
PREPARED BY: Crystal Bothelio DIRECTOR: Dave Anderson
City Clerk
SUBJECT: Agreement with the Santa Clara County FireSafe Council
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with the Santa Clara County FireSafe
Council in the amount of $25,000 per year through June 30, 2018 to establish a hazardous fuel
reduction program in the City of Saratoga.
On February 20, 2013, the City Council adopted an update to the Safety Element of the City of
Saratoga General Plan. The Safety Element identifies fire as one of several hazards that affect the
City of Saratoga. While there are existing programs, including the Weed and Brush Abatement
Programs, that are intended to reduce the risk of fire, the Safety Element calls for additional
actions to further prevent wildfires.
The Safety Element recognizes fuel load management in the City's Wildland -Urban Interface
areas as one of the ways that the City can reduce and prevent losses from wildfires. The attached
agreement with the Santa Clara County FireSafe Council is intended to achieve this goal.
Through the agreement, the Santa Clara County FireSafe Council will oversee a hazardous fuel
reduction program in the City of Saratoga. The program will provide free chipping services to
residents in the City of Saratoga's Wildland -Urban Interface area. Brush cleared from defensible
space — 100 feet from permanent structures and 30 feet from roadsides and driveways used for
evacuation purposes — will be eligible for free chipping. Per the agreement, the Santa Clara
County FireSafe Council will establish a chipping program for the City of Saratoga each year,
conduct the necessary outreach, and manage a special needs assistance program for residents who
are physically unable to clear their property of brush prior to chipping.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
A total of $25,000 was set aside in the Fiscal Year 2013/14 budget for a hazardous fuel reduction
program. This funding will be used to pay for the program if the City Manager is authorized to
Page 1 of 2
50
execute the agreement with the Santa Clara County FireSafe Council. Additionally, $25,000 will
be allocated to the program each Fiscal Year until the agreement expires or is terminated.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING THE RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
If the City Manager is not authorized to execute the agreement, a hazardous fuel reduction
program will not be established in partnership with the Santa Clara County FireSafe Council.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
N/A
FOLLOW UP ACTION(S):
Implement Council direction.
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT:
Pursuant to Government Code 54954.2, this item was properly posted as a City Council agenda

Exhibit A
SANTA CLARA COUNTY FIRESAFE COUNCIL - SCOPE OF SERVICES
The City of Saratoga wishes to support the work of the Santa Clara Fire Safe Council Inc.
( "FireSafe Council ") as set forth below.
The City of Saratoga is one of 14 communities in Santa Clara County that has been
identified as being at risk for wildfires by the California Fire Alliance. Saratoga is
susceptible to wildfire due to an abundance of fuel load, the steep topography of the City's
hillside areas, and the local climate conditions.
Fire is identified as one of several hazards that affect the City in the Safety Element of the
City of Saratoga General Plan. While the City is already taking steps to prevent fire through
the Weed and Brush Abatement Programs, the Safety Element describes additional
measures that the City can take. One of the goals of the Safety Element (SAF -4) is to reduce
the danger of property damage and loss of life due to urban and wildfires by conducting
fuel load management activities in the City's Wildland -Urban Interface area and prepare a
Community Wildfire Protection Plan.
The FireSafe Council is a non - profit 501(c)(3) organization seeking to provide a significant
increase in Community Awareness and Defensible Space in its program area by providing
programs to assist in protecting residents and homes and bringing together individuals,
public and private agencies and companies that share a common, vested interest in
preventing and reducing losses from wildfires. The FireSafe Council's programs and
projects are focused on protecting the Santa Clara County communities at risk for wildfire
through the reduction of built -up hazardous fire -prone vegetation and the creation of
informed communities with respect to Defensible Space, general fire safety, and fire's effect
and role in our environment.
The scope of work for this agreement is to advance the shared objectives of the City and the
FireSafe Council as follows:
1. Hazardous Fuel Reduction Program
The City's Wildland -Urban Interface area is characterized by native brush,
grasslands and trees, which are prone to wildfire. There is a danger that fire in this
area could spread and consume significant areas of the City. To assist in reducing
fire danger, the FireSafe Council will oversee a hazardous fuel reduction program
that provides no cost chipping services for owners and residents of properties
located in the City of Saratoga's Wildland -Urban Interface area ( "Property
Owners /Residents" ). Properties outside of City limits are not eligible for work
supported by this Agreement. The program consists of chipping brush that has been
independently cleared from defensible space - 100 feet from permanent structures
Exhibit A - Page 1 of 4
54
Contract for Community Awareness and Defensible Space
and 30 feet from roadsides or driveways used for evacuation purposes. FireSafe
Council will also be utilizing subcontractors in the performance of this undertaking.
A. Chipping Programs Due to the varying natures of Saratoga's hillside
neighborhoods, different types of chipping services may be necessary.
Acceptable types of chipping services include:
Community Chipping Pile: Property Owners /Residents may drop off
piles of brush by a certain date and chipping is performed after the
final drop off date.
Drive Up Chipping Event: Property Owners /Residents transport brush
to a specified location where chipping is performed on the spot.
At Home Chipping: Property Owners/ Residents schedule chipping
services to be performed at their home. Brush must be prepared in
advance to the chipping appointment.
The FireSafe Council will assess neighborhoods eligible for chipping services
and determine which type of chipping service is most appropriate based on
the size and characteristics of the neighborhood.
The intent of the Hazardous Fuel Reduction Program is to assist in clearing
primary fuel sources, including grasses, brush, and shrubs. The FireSafe
Council will be providing chipping services only and will not be conducting
any trimming or cutting of weeds, brush, or trees. Informational materials
distributed by the FireSafe Council regarding chipping services in Saratoga
will advise users that compliance with City Code Article 15 -50 regarding Tree
Regulations is required in connection with all work carried out in the City of
Saratoga.
B. Special Needs Assistance Program: The FireSafe Council also offers a Special
Needs Assistance Program for Residents who are physically unable to clear
their property of brush prior to chipping. The FireSafe Council will work with
Property Owners to help determine the scope of clearing and chipping work
to be performed. The amount of clearing /chipping work required cannot
exceed two days of work and applicants must meet the FireSafe Council's
eligibility requirements applicable to all FireSafe Council Special Needs
Assistance projects. Any clearing work in Saratoga will comply with City
Code Article 15 -50 regarding Tree Regulations.
C. Community Outreach and Coordination: The FireSafe Council will be
responsible for overseeing outreach and promotion of the Hazardous Fuel
Reduction Program in Saratoga. This will include:
Page 2 of 4
55
Contract for Community Awareness and Defensible Space
Preparation of applications, flyers and informational materials, and a
webpage with information about the Saratoga Hazardous Fuel
Reduction Program.
Serving as the primary point of contact for the community on the
Hazardous Fuel Reduction Program. Questions about the program and
requests for service received by the City will be directed to the
FireSafe Council.
Assist with the City's outreach efforts including:
The City will include information about the Hazardous Fuel
Reduction Program on its website, social media sites,
newsletters, and in other forms of communication used by the
City.
The City will provide opportunities for the FireSafe Council to
participate in City of Saratoga events to allow the FireSafe
Council to share information about its programs.
The FireSafe Council may also provide informational materials
to City staff to be distributed at events organized by the City of
Saratoga.
D. Wildfire Prevention Community Plan
In addition to a Hazardous Fuel Reduction Program, the City's Safety Element

Exhibit C
General Provisions
1. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. City requires the services of a qualified contractor
to provide the work product described in Exhibit A because it lacks the qualified
personnel to provide the specified work product. Contractor is qualified to provide the
required work product and is agreeable to providing such work product on the terms and
conditions in this agreement.
1.1 In General. At all times during the term of this Agreement, Contractor shall be
an independent contractor and shall not be an employee of City. Contractor shall
complete the Scope of Work hereunder in accordance with currently approved
methods and practices in Contractor's field. No relationship of employer and
employee is created by this Agreement between the City and Contractor or any
subcontractor or employee of Contractor. City shall have the right to control
Contractor only with respect to specifying the results to be obtained from
Contractor pursuant to this Agreement. City shall not have the right to control the
means by which Contractor accomplishes services rendered pursuant to this
Agreement. Any terms in this Agreement referring to direction from City shall be
construed as providing for direction as to policy and the result of the Contractor's
work only, and not as to the means by which such a result is obtained.
1.2 Non - Exclusive Contract. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
construed as limiting the right of Contractor to engage in Contractor's profession
separate and apart from this Agreement so long as such activities do not interfere
or conflict with the performance by Contractor of the obligations set forth in this
Agreement. Interference or conflict will be determined at the sole discretion of the
City.
1.3 Standard of Care. Contractor shall complete the Scope of Work required
pursuant to this Agreement in the manner and according to the standards observed
by a competent business operation (practitioner of the operation) in which
Contractor is engaged in the geographical area in which Contractor practices its
profession. All work product of whatsoever nature which Contractor delivers to
City pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in a substantial, first class and
workmanlike manner and conform to the standards of quality normally observed
by a business engaged (person practicing) in Contractor's operation (profession).
1.4 Qualifications. Contractor represents and warrants to City that the Contractor is
qualified to perform the services as contemplated by this Agreement and that all
work performed under this Agreement shall be performed only by personnel
under the supervision of the Contractor as an employee or by a subcontractor. All
personnel engaged in the work shall be fully qualified and shall be authorized,
licensed and certified under state and local law to perform such work if

adequate resources and time to complete the project within the project schedule
specified in this Agreement.

or property as a result of the use, misuse or failure of any equipment used by

1.6 Payment of Taxes and Other Expenses. Should City, in its discretion, or a
relevant taxing authority, including, but not limited to the Internal Revenue
Service or the State Employment Development Division, determine that the
Contractor is an employee for purposes of collection of any employment taxes,
the amounts payable under this Agreement shall be reduced by amounts equal to
both the employee and employer portions of the tax due (and offsetting any
credits for amounts already paid by the Contractor which can be applied against
this liability). City shall then forward those amounts to the relevant taxing
authority. Should a relevant taxing authority determine a liability for past
services performed by the Contractor for City, upon notification of such fact by
the City, the Contractor shall promptly remit such amount due or arrange with the
City to have the amount due withheld from fixture payments to the Contractor
under this Agreement (again, offsetting any amounts already paid by the
Contractor which can be applied as a credit against such liability). Any
determination of employment status above shall be solely for the purposes of the
particular tax in question, and for all other purposes of this Agreement, The
Contractor shall not be considered an employee of City. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, should any court, arbitrator, or administrative authority determine that
the Contractor is an employee for any other purpose, then the Contractor agrees to
a reduction in the City's financial liability so that the City's total expenses under
this Agreement are not greater than they would have been had the court,
arbitrator, or administrative authority determined that the Contractor was not an
employee.

in section 4 on page 1 of this Agreement is authorized to receive information, interpret

express carrier indicates that the mailing was delivered to the address of the

courtesy notice of any notices or communications hereunder via e -mail. However,

pursuant to the notice requirement set forth above.

such payment was made. City may withhold payment to Contractor in any instance in
which the Contractor has failed or refused to satisfy any material obligation provided for

Exhibit C — Page 6 of 10
..
Contract for Community Awareness and Defensible Space
13.1 General Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall
indemnify and hold harmless City, its employees, agents and officials, from any
liability, claims, suits, actions, arbitration proceedings, administrative
proceedings, regulatory proceedings, losses, expenses or costs (including, without
limitation, costs and fees of litigation) of any kind whatsoever without restriction
or limitation, incurred in relation to, and to the extent as a consequence of or
arising out of or in any way attributable actually, allegedly or impliedly, in whole
or in part, to the performance of this Agreement. All obligations under this
provision are to be paid by Contractor as they are incurred by the City.
13.2 Duty to Defend. In addition to Contractor's obligation to indemnify City,
Contractor specifically acknowledges and agrees that it has an immediate and
independent obligation to defend City from any claim which actually or
potentially falls within this indemnification provision, even if the allegations are
or may be groundless, false or fraudulent, which obligation arises at the time such
claim is tendered in writing to the Contractor by City and continues at all times
thereafter.
13.3 Limitation on Indemnity, Hold Harmless and Defending. Without affecting
the rights of City under any provision of this agreement or this section, Contractor
shall not be required to defend, indemnify and hold harmless City as set forth
above for liability to the extent attributable to the negligent or willful misconduct
of City, provided such negligent or willful misconduct is determined by
agreement between the parties or the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction.
This exception will not apply in instances where Contractor is solely at fault or in
instances where City's fault accounts for less than ten percent (10 %) of the
liability involved. In those instances, the obligation of Contractor will be all -
inclusive and City will be held harmless, indemnified, and defended for all
liability incurred, even though a percentage of the liability is attributable to
conduct of the City. However, the City agrees to first seek indemnification, being
held harmless and defense from all available Contractor and subcontractor
insurance coverages.
13.4 Acknowledgement. Contractor acknowledges that its obligation pursuant to this
section extends to liability attributable to City, if that liability is less than the sole
fault of City. Contractor has no obligation under this agreement for liability
proven in a court of competent jurisdiction or by written agreement between the
parties to be more than ten percent (10 %) fault of City.

immunity under such statutes or laws as to City, its employees and officials.

67
Contract for Community Awareness and Defensible Space
for, with or on behalf of Contractor in the performance or subject matter of this
Agreement.
13.7 No Waiver. Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements
imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of
any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend City as set forth
herein is binding on the successors, assigns, or heirs of Contractor and shall
survive the termination of this agreement or this section. For purposes of Section
2782 of the Civil Code the parties hereto recognize and agree that this Agreement
is not a construction contract. By execution of this Agreement, Contractor
acknowledges and agrees that it has read and understands the provisions hereof
and that this paragraph is a material element of consideration. City approval of the
insurance contracts required by this Agreement does not relieve the Contractor or
subcontractors from liability under this section.
13.8 Insurance Use. The Parties agree to first seek recovery under available insurance
coverages including under Contractor's and subcontractors' insurance for any
claim against Contractor under this Section 13's indemnity hold harmless and

extent allowed by law.
Exhibit C — Page 8 of 10
.:
Contract for Community Awareness and Defensible Space
14.3 No Waiver. Failure by City to seek any remedy for any default hereunder shall
not constitute a waiver of any other rights hereunder or any right to seek any
remedy for any subsequent default.
15. TERMINATION. Either party may terminate this Agreement with or without cause by
providing 10 days notice in writing to the other party. The City may terminate this
Agreement at any time with seven (7) days prior written notice in the event that

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: November 6, 2013 AGENDA ITEM:
DEPARTMENT: Public Works CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson
PREPARED BY: Macedonio Nunez DIRECTOR: John Cherbone
Associate Engineer
SUBJECT: Quito Road Bridges Replacement Project Public Review
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Accept public testimony regarding the Quito Road Bridges Replacement Project and direct staff to
review and refine the project design based on further public outreach and consultation.
REPORT SUMMARY:
The City is developing plans for replacement of two substandard bridges on Quito Road with structures
that will meet current Caltrans safety standards and allow a 100 -year design flow with funding through
the Federal Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation (HBRR) Program. The existing bridges are
located on Quito Road crossing San Thomas Aquino Creek near the intersection of Quito Road and Old
Adobe Road. The project will require rerouting traffic during the approximately 6 to 12 -month
construction period and acquisition of right -of -way easements. The City has notified residents in the
vicinity of the project and invited public comment at the public hearing.
Project Purpose and Need
The existing bridges, which were constructed in 1915, do not meet current State design standards or
seismic safety criteria as determined by the Caltrans Structure Maintenance and Investigation Report.
The project would replace two 2 -lane bridges identified as 37C -113 and 37C -114 (henceforth referred to
as "Bridge 113" and "Bridge 114 "). The new bridges would have the same function and capacity as the
existing structures and be designed to satisfy Caltrans standards and requirements for federal funding of
approximately 88 percent of the project cost. The project would include acquisition of necessary right -
of -way; demolition and construction of the bridges; construction of five retaining walls; relocation of
utilities; and related habitat restoration.
The new bridges will be on a similar alignment to the existing bridges although the approaches leading to
the bridge structures will require slight roadway re- alignment to improve sight distance and enhance
traffic and pedestrian safety. The bridges will clear -span the creek and will have a width of
approximately 34 feet with two 12 -foot travel lanes and two 4 -foot shoulders and required by Caltrans
and the Federal Highway Administration. Bridge 114 will have a 4.5 -foot sidewalk on the east side of
the roadway to retain existing pedestrian access. The bridge abutments will be supported on piles placed
in cast -in- drilled- holes. The Quito Road approaches to the bridges will be widened as part of the project
in order to facilitate the wider 12 -foot travel lanes and 4 foot shoulders required by Caltrans.
Page 1 of 3
75
The project includes minor grading in the San Tomas Aquino Creek channel at each bridge to reduce the
angle of the channel at each crossing and minimize the potential for erosion. The project includes bank
stabilization measures at each bridge, consisting of a combination of gabions, wing/retaining walls, and a
soil nail wall.
The project has been designed to accommodate projected flood flows associated with a 100 -year storm.
The hydraulic capacity of the replacement bridges will result in an improvement over existing conditions.
The project will treat stormwater runoff in accordance with the standard provisions of the City's
Municipal Stormwater Permit.
Although the project has been designed to minimize removal of heritage trees, construction would
require the removal of approximately 24 trees (See Attachment 1). The design includes replacement of
the trees consistent with the City's tree removal requirements applicable to private projects including a
one -half acre (0.50 acre) riparian restoration component, which will be located in La Rinconada Park in
the Town of Los Gatos. The riparian restoration component would result in increased habitat values and
functions within the restored riparian corridor and adjacent oak woodland. This component of the
project would include: exotic species removal, establishment of riparian and oak woodlands,
enhancement of understory plantings, and installation of riparian fencing. The riparian restoration work
would coincide with the construction schedule for construction of the bridges. The riparian restoration
component includes initial maintenance during the first 3 years until the plantings are established and
become self - sustaining. The site would be monitored for a period of 10 years or until success criteria
have been met.
Bridge replacement would require Quito Road to be closed during the construction period; traffic would
be rerouted using existing streets. (The proposed detour route map is attached as Attachment 2.)
Construction equipment and materials will be staged on the closed portion of Quito Road. Construction
would take place on weekdays between the hours of 7:30 am and 6:00 pm and is anticipated to take
approximately twelve months. Construction activities within the creek will take place between April 15th
and October 15th to avoid the rainy season. Project construction would include standard best
management practices to minimize erosion, protect water quality, and control dust.
Riaht-of-Wav Acquisition
Preliminary project plans indicate that in order to meet applicable design standards the project would
require fair market value acquisition of a minimal amount of additional right -of -way easements totaling
approximately 10,800 square feet from portions of six adjacent privately -owned parcels adjoining the
existing right -of -way and 940 square feet from publicly -owned parcels adjoining the existing right of
way. The potential right -of -way easements to be acquired consist of narrow, linear areas immediately
adjacent to the roadway and existing right -of -way (See Attachment 3 Approximate Right of Way
Acquisition Figures).
Written Communications
Attachment 4 contains copies of written communications from residents regarding the project. Questions
and comments have been raised concerning tree removal, necessity of retaining walls, duration of road
closure, effects on existing structures, and right of way acquisition.
Next Steps
This hearing is the first step in public review of the proposed project. Staff will conduct further public
outreach and then review all public comments with the project engineer to identify design changes in
response to public comments.

FISCAL IMPACTS:
None.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

FOLLOW UP ACTION:
Conduct further public outreach and coordination with the project engineer as described above.

00 Tree S was not identified for removal by the client, but based on our evaluation of project impacts and
the tree's location we believe it will be impacted.
i Trees T -X do not appear on Project plans and were identified and measured in the field by H. T.
Harvey & Associates, in 2011. Based on their location, proximity to trees that were identified by the
client to be removed, and our evaluation of project impacts, we believe these additional trees will be
impacted.

Subject: Proposed Quito Road bridge project
Our family has owned a home in the Old Adobe neighborhood of Los Gatos for over 25 years. We
were distressed to find out about the above project only yesterday, with written objections due by
noon today. We did not receive notice of the project, nor have we seen it discussed in local papers.
We are concerned about the lack of notice and opportunity to comment on the project and question
whether or not appropriate procedures have been followed. We feel as if the public agencies are
rushing this project through, to avoid community involvement.
Quito Road is a beautiful road. Every time we drive home we are so thankful to live in such a
beautiful area. It is a jewel . What provisions are being taken to preserve this character? The
documents available to the public do not detail what the bridges, retaining walls and creek walls will
look like? Will they be ugly uncolored cement and steel? Will they blend in with the environment?
Please work with the neighborhood to create a project that will compliment and not create an ugly
scar in our neighborhood. Also, why do so many trees need to be removed?
We are also concerned about traffic and safety issues in widening and straightening Quito. We
already experience cars racing through the curves in an unsafe manner. With wider, straighter
roads, we can see even more and faster racing. What mitigating efforts will be made to prohibit
this? Can the speed limit be lowered? Can speed meters be installed?
Please continue the hearing on Nov 6, so that our neighborhood may be provided with more
information about the project and an opportunity to be informed citizens.

October 31, 2013
Dear Saratoga City Council Members and City Clerk:
My name is Matthew Mahood. ?Some of you may be familiar with me as I am the President
& CEO of the San Jose Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce.
However, today I am writing to you on behalf of my family and fellow residents who live in
the Old Adobe Road Neighborhood in Los Gatos.
I want to express our sincere concern about the proposed Quito Rd Bridge Replacement
project that you will be considering on your Council Agenda on November 6th.
Myself and my neighbors have concerns about the negative impacts that this project, as
proposed, will have upon our neighborhood and we just learned about this proposed project
days ago - with very little time to study the project, understand it and NO opportunity to date
to discuss the project with the city staff and agencies that have apparently been planning this
project for a very long period of time.
The immediate concerns are:
1. Local resident do not feel that have been allowed a "due process" to understand the
project and to provide feedback. There has been no outreach into the effective communities.
Local residents want to have an opportunity to be involved in the process and the shaping of
their neighborhood.
0
2. Any update /changes to the Quito Rd area should be respectful of the character of the
neighborhood and respect the "Sylvan Lake" nature of the area.
3. The number of trees removed from the area is significant and will negatively impact the
entrance into the Old Adobe Rd neighborhood. And it will have a negative effect upon the
wildlife is frequently sighted in the affected area.
4. Will traffic speeds increase on Quito Rd as a result of these changes?
5. How will children who attend Rolling Hills Middle School and Marshall Lane Elementary
get to and from school, either by bike or walking, during a 12 month construction period?
6. A 12 -month construction period where Quito Rd is closed is unmanageable to local
residents not just for our own transportation needs, but the impacts to our local residential
streets due to detours and increased traffic. This is simply ridiculous.
I look forward to attending the meeting with my fellow residents to express our views and to
hear how the cities of Saratoga and Los Gatos will address our concerns.
Sincerely,
Matthew Mahood

Saratoga City Council
Macedonio Nunez
Dear Councilpersons & Mr. Nunez:
I was horrified to learn, 2 days ago, of your plans to rebuild two bridges on Quito
Rd with accompanying straightening of Quito.
Given that all public comment is to be in by noon today, it seems almost covert
on your part to have so little publicity around such a major improvement.
I understand that the bridges could be considered unsafe, and that you have
funds by which to rebuild them. I do not understand
• Why there is no EIR (or if there is an EIR, why it is not referenced in the
project documents on your website
http.f u ninv. saratog a. car.,usjcityliallleizvicega.asp)
• Why you cannot mitigate the environmental damage on site rather than at
La Rinconada Park. I am the streamkeeper for a reach of Smith Creek
adjacent to the park and am intimately familiar with the park. Although I
would agree with you it could use quite a bit of revegetation and
invasives removal, San Tomas Aquino Creek is a more significant creek
and deserves at a minimum equal respect.
• How you knew you have to cut down 24 trees. I see no markings on trees
at the site, and I have found no plans showing exactly where the
construction is supposed to take place, with trees marked for removal
• How you can vote to approve a project with this level of retaining walls,
road widening, etc with no design documents.
This stretch of Quito Road is one of the few sylvan lanes left in Silicon Valley.
The oaks shading it are hundreds of years old. You are proposing to turn its
beauty into yet another piece of cement, when you could rebuild the bridges in a
way that respects the riparian environment and keeps the charm of our
neighborhood. Please consider doing so.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Just heard about the negative report on the future project on Quito Rd. Not
preserving wild life and cutting many many trees. Hope all the people of Saratoga
realize this is going on ?, And what does your Mayor have to say about cutting so
many trees.? Does the word environment come into play in this future project?

Subject: Quito road bridge project
City Clerk, City of Saratoga,
We are writing to voice our concern about the proposed project to replace two bridges on
Quito Road at Old Adobe Road.
We moved to this area of Los Gatos 20 years ago. One of the main draws to our buying a
house in this area was the natural feel of Quito Road. We were drawn here by the slow
meandering road, canopy of mature growth trees and the natural habitat along the creek. I
love seeing the Stellar Jays that reside there and feel their habitat will be permanently
destroyed with the removal of the mature trees. It would be devastating to see this change
into a concrete jungle of retaining walls.
• We feel this project is being rushed through and proper notice has not been given to
the residents of the area. I only learned of this project less than 24 hours ago. No
written notice from either Los Gatos or Saratoga has ever been delivered to our home.
• We are concerned about the potential for speeding on Quito if the road is straightened.
This will make it dangerous for pedestrians and bike riders.
• We love the charm of the Old Adobe Road sign welcoming us back to the
neighborhood and would hate to see that changed to an ugly steel and concrete
retaining wall.
• A 12 month closure of Quito Rd and traffic diversions into our neighborhood will be a
nightmare of speeding cars and unsafe for the many people that now walk throughout
the neighborhood. This could also be a potential problem for students of Rolling hills
middle school and Marshall Lane School as motorist frustrated with the detours speed
on Pollard to make up time for being detoured around the construction.
We ask that the residents of this area be involved in the process and kept informed of
changes that will affect our well being, property values, and charm of our neighborhood.
Sincerely,
.E

Subject: Quito Road Bridges Project
Dear City Council Members,
While we appreciate your plan to replace the Quito bridges, we're very concerned about the effects the proposed
project will have on our rural, wooded, neighborhood, the existing wildlife, and the environment:
Wider, straighter roads and bridges will actually only promote more speeding, reckless driving, risk taking and
will seriously endanger ANY child, pedestrian or bicyclist that use the sidewalk on Quito between Old Adobe
and Sobey where I walk to school every day with my children. No one, except maybe residents, even remotely
pays attention to the 25 MPH posted speed limit through that section of Quito. Rather than 'inviting' drivers to
speed even more, we'd like to see some speed reduction measurements, e.g speed bumps.
Our children and I walk to school every day using the dirt pathway on the west side of Quito Rd (in front of
14391 Quito Rd.) that goes over into the existing wider walkway on the west side of Quito. How will we be able
walk safely to school when you widen the street on the west side of Quito and with that narrow the dirt
pathway that's currently there? Do you intend to move the walkway into our neighbor's frontyard to maintain a
decent sized walkway on that side of Quito?
• By taking out 24 trees or more, this project will forever destroy the quaint Quito Road with its natural slopes
and tree lined neighborhood and turn it into much more of main thoroughfare like Saratoga Ave with a lot of
concrete, steel and ugly retaining walls. And, what about the environmental impact?
Are there any plans to provide parking along Quito Road? And, what happens to the space where we currently
put our trash cans?
We ask to consider the following for the proposed project:
92
• Keep all changes in the character of the neighborhood and retain the wooded, rural charm of this stretch on
Quito Road /interesction Old Adobe. Minimize tree removal and replace the removed trees on the same
properties not at another location as homeowners are required to do the same.
• Increase pedestrian safety - especially of the children walking to school from Quito and coming down from
Old Adobe - by extending the walkway incl. curb on the west side of Quito Rd. all the way to bridge 37C -0114.
(basically in front of 14391 Quito up to the bridge). Another safety measurment would be to have a crosswalk
near the bridge as children coming down from Old Adobe need to cross Quito in order to get to school.
• Reduce average traffic speed on Quito Road rather than 'inviting' to speed even more by putting speed
reduction measurements in place, e.g. speed bumps.
• No increase in traffic noise , e.g. due to cars speeding and accelerating; this is also the risk when you take out
beautiful, old trees and replace them with concrete, steel, and retainer walls.
• Street lights along Quito Road all the way to Old Adobe intersection and dedicated parking spaces.
With kind regards,

Subject: Quito Road Bridges Project
We have many concerns on the proposed Quito Road Bridges project, how it will be handled
and its impact on our community:
We are upset about the short notice for such a lengthy (12 months) and drastic project; we
just received a letter Thursday October 24th in the mail.
The proposed detour route will increase traffic and motorist speeds through our
neighborhood. Along Bicknell there are always people walking, riding bikes and children
playing, the detour will cause higher risk of incidents with the increase in motorists and
speeds.
The site plans and potential right of way easement acquisitions posted on the City of
Saratoga website are low resolution and vague making it difficult to understand what the
completed new project will look like. Will our "Old Adobe Road brick wall" remain?
There has been constant construction in our neighborhood. Last year they resurfaced our
streets and currently they are ripping apart the newly resurfaced streets for the sewer
project along Quito Road. It's poor planning and wasted money.
The destruction and removal of 24 trees and impact on the natural wildlife seems
excessively disruptive.
We are very unhappy with the proposed plan, we urge you to offer less invasive solutions to
replacing the two bridges.
Thank you,

Subject: Concerns regarding plans for Quito Bridges
Dear City Clerk,
I am writing to express my concerns regarding plans to replace to bridges on Quito Road. I
am a Los Gatos resident who lives off Old Adobe Road, and I only heard about this proposed
project yesterday, yet my neighborhood will be affected for a year if these plans are
implemented in their current form.
Quito Road and the Old Adobe Neighborhood are a very special place to live. We treasure
our quiet windy road, and the wildlife and nature we live with. Any changes made to this
peaceful, lovely place should be done with the involvement of the residents, and should be
as minimal as possible in order to retain those things that make this a special place to live. I
am specifically concerned about the following:
1. It is unclear to me why so much additional land is required to replace the bridges. Quito
Road today is narrow, and requires that traffic move slowly and carefully along it. The odd
speed limit sigs (of 17 and 19 mph) have helped raise awareness and caution while driving
along the road. Widening and straightening Quito would create a sense that it is safer to
speed along Quito, which could increase accidents. When I look at the land to be acquired, I
do not get a sense that it would be a "slight" roadway adjustment, as described in the
project description. It appears to be far more land than is necessary for the roadway.
2. The descriptions of the 5 retaining walls are unclear and there are no
drawings /photographs that indicate what the impact of those retaining walls would be or
what they would look like. In the absence of any sense of what this would look like, I am
concerned that the creek would be enclosed in a concrete channel which would not be
helpful in handling flood situations.
3. The use of Pollard Road and More Avenue as a detour for 12 months is just plain crazy.
This road simply cannot handle additional traffic. At the top of More, near Montclair, the
water district often closes a lane for loading /unloading or construction purposes (this
happens at least monthly). When this happens traffic backs up quickly right into the
neighborhood. If we can't exit the neighborhood at Old Adobe or Montclair and there is a
closure on More, we are stuck. Furthermore, this detour routes significant traffic right past
Rolling Hills Jr. High, where there are already serious safety issues at the beginning and end
of the school day. Between Roxbury and Pollard, More is divided down the center to
reduce it's desirability as a cut through. Adding more cars to that stretch of road will make
it difficult if not impossible for residents to get out of their driveways during busy times of
the day.
4. The current closure of Quito Road routes cars around West Valley College, and not
through Sobey Road. Why is it ok to route cars on More and Bicknell, when it's not ok to
detour cars on Sobey? Is it because Sobey is in Saratoga, which is spearheading this project,
and More and Bicknell are in Los Gatos? I don't seriously believe this is the case, but it does
raise questions.
I grew up in this area, learned how to drive on Quito, and have lived in the Old Adobe
Neighborhood for 20 years. It feels like this project is being pushed by Saratoga, hasn't
involved the residents in the planning or discussions, and has a far greater impact on the
quality of life, including the wildlife, than it needs to have. I understand the need to have
safe bridges, but I think this project oversteps what it takes for that to happen. I would like
to see greater involvement by the impacted community, less destruction to trees and
habitat, a smaller footprint of land to be taken for the project, and more thought given to
the impact of the proposed detour, particularly since it is for such a long time. I am also
distressed not to see the involvement of the town of Los Gatos.

Dear City Clerk:
Please document this as an objection to the proposed City Project "Replacement of Quito Road
Bridges" from myself and my husband; Laura Robinson and Richard Robinson. We live at 155 Via De
Tesoros in the Old Adobe Neighborhood for the past 20 years where this proposed project is being
considered.
The following list of reasons why we are not in support of this project to date and wish to go on
record as opposing the project until the following can be addressed to our satisfaction.
1. Not everyone affected in the Old Adobe Neighborhood received project notice and many
neighborhood residents feel this is being rushed and Saratoga is not allowing "due process ".
2. The prospective plans will create a lot of issues for the Old Abode Residents, like MORE speeding
on Quito and Old Adobe Roads.
4.Why do so many trees have to be removed? This project seems to impact the wildlife in a
negative way. Has a environment study been completed?
5. The residents of Old Adobe Neighborhood want an opportunity to be involved in this process and
the consideration of other alternative options.

Laura and Richard Robinson

Formal Submittal of Communications
My name is Chuck Bona. My family and I reside at 14409 Quito Road, Saratoga. Please accept the
fallowing as my formal submittal:
Questions:
• Why has the project grown beyond it's original scope of work which was simply to replace
the two bridges especially when it exceeds the appropriated funding?
+ As with most any engineering /construction project in the state of CA, why haven't all
residents in the project area received detailed submittal information as required by law
+ What is the predefined ingress /egress plan insuring our capacity to co -exist without
experiencing delay; to Quito as well as our property entrance
• What is the predefined plan for garage pick up Thursday mornings
• What is the predefined plan to minimize the adverse impact of imminent airborne
construction debris /soot
• What is the predefined plan to remedy and /or reimburse adjacent property owners to clean
up imminent and likely extensive airborne construction debris /soot to their homes and
vehicles
• According to the conceptual drawings, it would appear that about 5 feet of the actual
driveway entrance is going to be acquired. What is the basis of this agenda ... we need
detailed information
• Given the current and obvious need, now exasperated with eventual detours, what is being
done to provide a safe crosswalk across Sobey at Quito: the potential liability of
children /people being struck by vehicles will be greater than ever; this crossing has long
needed a formal crosswalk and a lighted reflector system to insure safety of all commuting
to and from the school
Concerns:
• We need assurance that the natural setting that currently exists will not be sanitized with
concrete and other "non - natural" looking architecture causing adverse impact to the area
and /or property values
• We are greatly concerned about loss of heritage trees as well as opening up our property to
more noise from Quito Road
• We need to be provided assurance that enough and similar vegetation would be replanted
after construction to attenuate the sound from Quito Road as well as to maintain the current
natural setting
• For the safety of our children and to insure uninterrupted ingress /egress, we need to have
assurance of NO intrusions onto our private driveway during construction and that any
contractor doing so would realize stiff penalty
• If our entrance is to be reworked, what is the predefined plan to repave our driveway (e.g.
with Impervious pavers to compensate for the environmental damage they will be causing)

Hello,
Our family as called the "Old Adobe" neighborhood home for the last 14 years. We have
raised our children here much like many in our community. I'm writing this note, because we
in our minds consider the entire area along Quito Rd as "our community ", independent of
manmade boundaries, and something to preserve for future generations. So, even though I'm
officially a Los Gatos resident I kindly ask you to consider my comments as part of this
project.
First, with sincerity, I say congratulations for finding a path, financially, to replacing the aging
infrastructure. After almost 100 years the bridges are due for an upgrade. Clearly the effects
of accidents and nature are evident. I drive over them daily, and run over one weekly.
During the replacement process we ask for you to consider the following salient points-
1 . A clear neighborhood outreach program to show the new designs and details of the
project.
2. Please gather and consider the input of the "community of Old Adobe ".
3. Please communicate a clear schedule of the project and when the community will have
an input on the final design.
4. We feel we need to minimize our impact on nature, so please consider preserving the
"heritage oaks ". They can only be replaced by nature and over multiple centuries. They
remind us of the resiliency of nature and yet how fragile they can be to "man's tools and
progress ".
5. The new bridge structures, retaining walls, and creek beds need to "blend in" with
nature, having retaining walls and creek bed line with sterile concert is visually
unappealing, unsightly, and have a negative impact on the environment, as they are
non - porous surface.
6. Please give design considerations to the utilities on and around the bridges, so they too
can have a minimal impact on surrounding areas and are located so if and when we get
around to underground of them along the entire Quito Rd, the bridges are "ready to
accommodate them"
7. Please consider more than 2 detour routes as the streets of Bicknell and Montclair have
heritage oaks that can be damaged and abused by large tall vehicles. These streets are
residential and have families walking and children playing, increasing thru traffic on
these streets may pose a safety hazard
We thank you for considering our points and hope you have a productive, fact based meeting
on the 6th of November.
Thank you

Dear City Council Members,
As thirty six year residents of 14391 Quito Road, we are pleased that you are about to replace our
bridges.
We question why the city failed to notify residents of the project and hope, in the future,
Saratoga will inform citizens of important changes in their area.
We implore you to rethink the ease of driving Quito Road; please make it harder to drive any
faster. We question the removal of approximately twenty four trees which the city is presently
unable to identify. The city's tree removal requirement mandates replacement on the same
property as removal, not two miles away. Surely the city should not have privileges denied the
homeowners.
We appreciate your rethinking the enormous bridge project and look forward to your meeting
November 6.
Yours sincerely,

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: November 6, 2013 AGENDA ITEM:
DEPARTMENT: Community Development CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson
PREPARED BY: Kate Bear, City Arborist DIRECTOR: James Lindsay
SUBJECT: Adoption of Tree Risk Management Policy and
Amendment of Zoning Code 15- 50.040
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Conduct a public hearing;
2. Approve the resolution adopting the Tree Inspection and Risk Management Policy; and
3. Introduce and waive the first reading of the attached ordinance amending Section 15- 50.040
of the City Code and direct staff to place the ordinance on the consent calendar for adoption
at the next regular meeting of the City Council.
REPORT SUMMARY
As part of its ongoing effort to promote a thriving urban forest, staff has developed a Tree
Inspection and Risk Management Policy and an amendment to the City Code to clarify
maintenance responsibilities for street trees. Urban forest health is enhanced by regular
inspections and proper care of trees, as well as selection of and planting appropriate species
based on their shape, size at maturity, and need for space. These practices can also reduce the
number and severity of tree related claims against the City; a primary goal for the Risk
Management Committee and the City's insurance carrier.
The attached resolution (Attachment 1) adopts a Tree Inspection and Risk Management Policy
that identifies trees that are the City's responsibility, lists their locations, provides an inspection
schedule, creates a mechanism to track resident complaints to the City, and outlines a process to
address and resolve potential problems.
The attached Ordinance (Attachment 2) clarifies Section 15- 50.040 of the Zoning Code which
takes responsibility for certain trees in the public right of way even when the underlying land is
private property. The amendment replaces generic references to types of streets with the names
of the specific streets in question for clarity, and for completeness it lists other types of City
property where the City has maintenance responsibility; it does not change the scope of the City's
responsibilities. The amendment would also transfer tree maintenance responsibility from the
Community Development Department to Public Works. The Planning Commission has
reviewed the Ordinance and recommends approval (Attachment 3 — Pc Resolution 13 -036).
INVENTORY STATUS
As part of the urban forest management plan the City initiated an inventory in 2007 to identify
City owned and maintained trees. Trees in parks, on Big Basin Way and Cox Avenue, in the
parking districts, and on City arterial median islands were identified, measured, geo- located and
103
mapped by student interns. In 2012 and 2013 street trees on the City's main arterials (Saratoga
Avenue, Fruitvale Avenue, Allendale Avenue, Prospect Road, Quito Road, and Saratoga -
Sunnyvale Road) were inventoried by a contractor. These trees were identified, measured, geo-
located, mapped, and assigned a condition rating.
To date, approximately 4,000 City trees have been inventoried. Approximately 4,000 trees in
Hakone Gardens and Landscape and Lighting Assessment Districts (listed in Appendix B) still
need to be inventoried.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
The proposed policy and ordinance are Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15061(b)(3). CEQA applies only to
projects which have the potential of causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it
can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a
significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. In this circumstance
the Planning Commission recommends and amendment to the existing Zoning Code to clarify
the section.
Adoption of a Tree Risk Management Policy also will not have an impact on the environment.
Although the City is exempt from its Tree Regulations, and the need to meet specific tree
removal criteria prior to removing a tree, the policy stipulates that the City will adhere to the Tree
Regulations unless an emergency situation arises, or a tree is dead or has fallen.
FISCAL IMPACT(S):
There are no negative fiscal impacts associated with the approval of the proposed ordinance and
resolution or the adoption of the Tree Risk Management Policy.
The cost to inventory and update information on approximately 8,000 trees is anticipated to be
approximately $45,000. Staff will solicit proposals for each Landscape and Lighting Assessment
District Zone to establish budgets for those areas. A separate budget for tree inventory work at
Hakone will be requested in fiscal year 2014 -15.
Recurring costs to update the existing inventory are anticipated to be $25,000 every five years.
Funds will be from one of three accounts — the General Fund for parks, the Streets/Roads Fund
for median islands and street trees, and assessments for the Landscape and Lighting Districts.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
None
FOLOW UP ACTION(S):
As directed.
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT:
A notice of the public hearing on this agenda item was published in the Saratoga News on
October 22, 2013. Pursuant to Government Code 54954.2, this item was properly posted as a
City Council agenda item and was included in the packet made available on the City's website in

All other trees are Private trees.
C. Director: the Director of Public Works or a person designated as such in
writing by the Director of Public Works.
D. Inspection. An inspection of a tree using either the Level 1, Level, 2, or Level
3 assessment methodology summarized in Appendix C.
E. Private Trees: Any tree on private property or on a City street or right of way
other than those specified in Appendix A and B .
F. Risk Manager: The City Manager or person designated by the City Manager
as Risk Manager.
G. Target: People, objects (e.g. vehicles, structures, etc.) or locations that could
be subject to damage by a tree. Target also includes conditions that pose an
imminent risk of injury or damage to persons or property by all or part of a
tree (e.g. tree root raising a sidewalk to create a tripping hazard).
2
107
H. Unsafe Condition: Any circumstance in which there is an imminent risk of all
or part of a tree falling or otherwise acting on a target in a manner that would
pose an imminent risk of injury or damage to persons or property.
IV. Tree Inventory
The Director shall develop and maintain a tree inventory listing the following
information for each City tree:
Species of tree, diameter at 54 inches above grade (diameter at breast
height or DBH), and global positioning system location of tree
The inventory shall be completed by the Director as funding is available. City
trees planted after the effective date of this policy shall be added to the inventory
at the time of planting.
V. Tree Inspections
All City trees measuring 10 inches or more in diameter at breast height shall be
inspected as set forth below. A record of inspections shall be kept by the
Director.
For each tree, the inspection report shall note any defects, whether follow -up
maintenance is required and, if so, the date by which that maintenance should be
completed. Where the recommended maintenance is not feasible, the Director
and the Arborist shall identify and carry out alternative measures to address the
circumstances leading to the recommendation. Follow up work will be described
in the inspection record with the completion date and confirmation that the work
was completed.
Inspections of City trees shall be Level 1 inspections either on foot or by vehicle
in accordance with ANSI A300 (Part 9) — 2011 Tree Risk Assessment. If a Level
1 inspection identifies a need for additional inspection, a Level 2 inspection will
occur.
Schedule of Inspections:
a. The Director shall ensure that each City tree is inspected at least once
every twelve years or more frequently if necessary due to age, structural
defects or other conditions warranting more frequent inspection
b. As Needed Inspections - -The Arborist will inspect City trees that are
reported to be potentially at risk by members of the public or City staff
regardless of the size of the tree. If such inspection reveals signs of
stress or damage, surrounding and nearby City trees will also be
inspected by the Arborist to assure acceptable condition. The Arborist
1:
may accelerate the frequency of scheduled inspections to address "at risk"
or deteriorating conditions identified during any inspection.
VI. TREE MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
All City trees shall be maintained as set forth below. A record of maintenance
shall be kept by the Director.
A. Pruning
All work on City -owned trees shall be in accordance with the most current edition
of the following industry standards: ANSI A300 (Part 1) — 2001 Pruning, and
ANSI Z133.1 -2006. State and federal regulations prohibit the disturbance and
destruction of many active bird nests. November through February is the optimal
time to prune in order to avoid bird nests.
B. Insect And Disease
If trees are infested with pests or infected with a disease and treatment is
warranted, the problem shall be identified and targeted with a specific and timely
treatment. If the pest or disease situation creates an unsafe condition, measures
to mitigate risk will be taken. Those measures include pruning out diseased
portions of the tree, or removal of the tree if warranted as determined by the
Arborist in accordance with section VII of this policy.
C. Fruit Control
If fruit production of a City tree becomes an unsafe condition the Director shall
undertake appropriate fruit control measures.
VII. TREE REMOVAL
A. In General
Although the Tree Regulations in the City Code do not apply to the City, the City
will remove trees that would be subject to the City's Tree Regulations only when
removal would be authorized based upon the removal criteria specified by those
regulations except in cases of emergency.
If the Director, following consultation with the Arborist, believes removal of a City
tree other than a dead or fallen City tree is warranted, the Director shall provide
notice of the intended removal to owners of properties within 150 feet of the tree.
The tree removal shall be scheduled no sooner than 16 (sixteen) days from the
date of the final decision to allow time for appeals of the decision to the City
Council. If a tree removal decision is appealed, the removal shall be postponed
0
109
until a date after the City Council's consideration of the appeal. Notice is not
required for removal of a fallen City tree.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, consistent with section 15- 50.060 of the City's
tree regulations, if the condition of a City tree presents an immediate hazard to
life or property, it may be removed without notice on order of the City Manager,
the Director, the Community Development Director, their designated
representatives, or a Peace Officer, or the fire department having jurisdiction.
B. Tree impact on Walkways, Paths and Roads.
If a City tree has been found to be elevating a sidewalk or walkway to a degree
greater than one half inch, or exhibiting cracks of 1/4 inch or wider, or tilting more
than 2% in the cross slope, the Director shall promptly take one of the following
actions:
1. The sidewalk can be ground down or cut to reduce the elevation; or
2. The sidewalk can be removed and replaced. If the sidewalk is to be removed
and replaced, the Arborist will assess the situation following the removal of
the sidewalk and make a determination about whether roots may be cut, or
the tree should be removed and replaced in accordance with City Code 15-
50.080.
3. If the tree cannot withstand the removal of roots without being compromised,
and removal of the tree is not authorized by City Code 15- 50.080, the
sidewalk repair will be made using an approved replacement or modification
method which best corrects the anomaly while minimizing harm to the tree.
C. Determination of unsafe trees.
A tree must be evaluated and determined to exhibit an unsafe condition before it
can be removed for safety reasons. The Director shall mitigate or abate any
known unsafe condition of a City tree. Upon direction from the Director, the
Arborist shall assess the risk potential of City trees using the following criteria:
If a tree possesses a structural defect that may cause the tree or a part of the
tree to fall on a target, and the risk of the fall is determined to be imminent, the
tree is considered unsafe.
If the unsafe condition cannot be mitigated to an acceptable level through
measures other than removal and the target of the potential unsafe condition
cannot be removed, then removal of the tree shall be authorized by the City to
abate the condition.
110
VIII. REPLACEMENT AND PLANTING OF TREES
The Director shall replace City trees that are removed with the same or a similar
species in the same general location unless soil, terrain or other conditions make
another type or location for planting more appropriate.
In locations where new trees are needed the species of new trees shall be
approved by the Arborist and shall meet International Society of Arboriculture
guidelines. Selection criteria will include, but not be limited to, height and size at
maturity with resulting impact on hardscapes, curbs, gutters, walkways, and
utilities, predicted longevity, and maintenance requirements.
XIX. COMPLAINT RESPONSE
A. Complaints regarding City trees will be entered into a database where
they can be tracked. Copies of the complaint will be provided to the
Director (with a copy to the Risk Manager) who shall determine the
appropriate response to the complaint.
B. The City will endeavor to respond to complaints about City trees within two
business days of receipt of complaint, not including days that City offices
are closed. If a complaint concerns a tree that the complainer believes
poses an immediate threat to public health and safety and City offices are
closed, the complaint shall be filed with the Sheriff's Department.

»SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: November 6, 2013 AGENDA ITEM: Old Business
DEPARTMENT: Recreation & Facilities CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson
PREPARED BY: Michael Taylor DIRECTOR: Michael Taylor
SUBJECT: Renewal of Facility Use Agreement with Saratoga Area Senior Coordinating
Council
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Accept report and adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the Agreement for
Use of Facilities with the Saratoga Area Senior Coordinating Council.
REPORT SUMMARY:
The City of Saratoga has helped support the Saratoga Area Senior Coordinating Council
( SASCC) since 1981 through direct financial support and a Facilities Use Agreement that allows
the organization to use City facilities at reduced or no cost. The previous agreement was
renewed in March 2009 for a term of four years. That agreement expired June 30, 2013.
SASCC requested an extension of the agreement through December 2013 which Council
approved on May 15, 2013.
In return for the use of the facilities and a contribution to equipment maintenance and repair
expenses, SASCC provides a variety of services to the senior community. These services are
outlined in Exhibit B of the agreement. Furthermore, additional measurable objectives are
outlined in Exhibit E of the agreement. Staff considers SASCC's compliance with these goals to
be complete. Specifically, SASCC was able to provide reports pertaining to attendance; trends,
and programs. SASCC also provides budget information and monthly financial reports to the
City.
SASCC continues to investigate operational improvements and new models and systems for
providing services to the area senior population. These operational changes include an increased
focus on healthy aging and referrals through partnerships and collaborations.
Staff met with representatives of SASCC to negotiate the terms of the agreement. The
agreement is for a term of four years with the option by either party to terminate the agreement
with a twelve month advance written notice. Updates to the previous agreement include an
update to each of the Exhibits, clarification of community services provided to the City in return
for financial contribution, and an annual 3% "cost -of- living" increase to the City's $18,000
contribution for blood pressure checks, tax assistance, vision and hearing screening, podiatric
2013 -11 -06

checks, "fifty -five alive" driving classes, flu shots, and other ongoing non - cost - recovery services
provided to seniors. Additionally, a reduction was made to the amount of SASCC's net assets
that would trigger a meeting to determine the need for increased oversight and management that
would allow the City to assist the SASCC organization without formally amending or
immediately terminating the agreement. The earlier agreement called for such a meeting if net
assets fell below $920,000 and the new agreement sets that threshold at $640,000.
The City Attorney has reviewed the updated agreement.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The agreement calls for a contribution to SASCC in the amount of $21,000 for the routine
maintenance, repair, and replacement of equipment in the facilities. An additional contribution
of $18,000 plus an annual 3% cost -of- living adjustment is to be provided in exchange for
SASCC providing non - cost - recovery services to the senior community. Quarterly measurable
results reports are required before payments will be made in July, September, January, and April.
The new agreement will result in a cost to the Recreation Department of $6,800 for the two
pages provided to SASCC in each City Activity Guide. The agreement also may minimally
decrease the potential revenue realized by the Recreation Department. Specific impacts as
outlined in the agreement include the following:
• SASCC is allowed use of the Community Center Multi - Purpose Room twice annually on
a waived fee basis. Twice per year use would result in potential loss of approximately
$2,400 per year in facility rental revenue. Additional use may increase the loss of rental
opportunities.
• SASCC is allowed use of the Prospect Center twice annually on a waived fee basis.
Twice per year use would result in potential loss of approximately $2,400 per year in
facility rental revenue. Additional use may increase the loss of rental opportunities.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION:
SASCC would not be allowed to use Saratoga Community Center facilities for programs.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
Council may direct staff to continue to negotiate a new Agreement.
FOLLOW UP ACTION:
The City Manager will sign and execute the agreement.
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT:
Pursuant to Government Code 54954.2, this item was properly posted as a City Council agenda
item and included in the packet made available on the City's website in advance of the meeting.

MEETING DATE: November 6, 2013 AGENDA ITEM: Old Business
DEPARTMENT: Recreation & Facilities CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson
PREPARED BY: Michael A. Taylor DIRECTOR: Michael A. Taylor
SUBJECT: Reassignment of Previously Allocated Funds for McWilliams House Improvements
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Accept report and move to approve the reassignment of previously allocated CIP funds for the
McWilliams House Capital Improvements, with any funds remaining after November 6, 2015
being returned to the City.
11YAOIX"Mol"Ll "I
The McWilliams house is the oldest house in Saratoga, and is currently a significant part of the
Historical Park in the City. The McWilliams House is an important part of the Saratoga
Historical Foundation's education program. In 2013, over 1000 students went through the
program which meets California state requirements for teaching pioneer living. The goal of the
Saratoga Historical Foundation is to furnish the pioneer cottage as accurately as possible and to
continue to enhance the education program. Due to the funding limits of a County grant for
restoration of the City -owned pioneer McWilliams House, not all of the identified needs could be
accommodated during the 2006 -2007 restoration projects. As part of the 2009 -2010 CIP budget,
the City agreed to fund $10,000 for certain improvements as a Phase II improvement plan by the
Saratoga Historical Foundation. These improvements included:
• Shutters for the front of the McWilliams House,
• 1911 toilet,
• Wallpaper (reproduction) for McWilliams parlor and parent's bedroom,
• Wallpaper (reproduction) for McWilliams children's bedroom,
• Removal of linoleum in bathroom/pantry,
• Refinish wood floor, and
• Painting the walls in the pantry and bathroom.
These improvements total $6,296.56, leaving a balance of $3,703.44.
The Saratoga Historical Foundation is requesting authorization to use the remaining balance to
fund the following improvements to the McWilliams House:
Reproduction shaving station (mirror, shelf, towel) and related shaving items to be
located in the pantry,
Authentic dry sink (dry sink used to wash vegetables) with two pans to be located in the
pantry,
Page 1 of 2
150
• Hutch for the kitchen,
• Replacement vintage hardware on kitchen cupboard and parent's bedroom.
• One wardrobe /armoire for parent's room
• One wardrobe /armoire for children's room
The Foundation has been sending out requests to local museums as well as antique dealers for
donations of furniture. If they should get a donation of any of the above items, they respectfully
request authorization to substitute an item that is needed.
Any funds remaining after November 6, 2015 will be returned to the City.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
None. There are sufficient funds currently available in the City CIP budget to cover the cost of
the proposed purchases. Any balance from the $3,703.44 remaining after November 6, 2015 will
be returned to the City.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING THE RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
The Saratoga Historical Foundation will not be able to make requested purchases using CIP
funds.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
Council may direct staff to advise the Saratoga Historical Foundation to seek alternative funding.
FOLLOW UP ACTION(S):
Implement Council direction.

Pursuant to Government Code 54954.2, this item was properly posted as a City Council agenda
item and was included in the packet made available on the City's web site in advance of the
meeting. A copy of the agenda packet is also made available at the Saratoga Branch Library each

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: November 6, 2013 AGENDA ITEM:
DEPARTMENT: Public Works CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson
PREPARED BY: Macedonio Nunez DIRECTOR: John Cherbone
Associate Engineer
SUBJECT: Quito Road Bridges — Award of Design Contract
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract for consulting services with Mark Thomas &
Company for design of the Quito Road Bridge Replacement Project in the amount of $322,462.
2. Authorize staff to execute change orders to the consultant contract up to $75,000.
REPORT SUMMARY:
In 2001, the City Council approved a Cooperative Agreement between the Town of Los Gatos and the
Santa Clara Valley Water District (District) to cost share the replacement of two substandard and
structurally deficient bridges on Quito Road. The agreement was amended in 2003 to modify the project
costs. The City secured funding through the Federal Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation
(HBRR) in the amount of $4,115,417.
The bridges, which were constructed in 1915, do not meet current State design standards or seismic
safety criteria as determined by the Caltrans Structure Maintenance and Investigation Report. Each of the
bridges to be replaced crosses the common limit line between the City of Saratoga and the Town of Los
Gatos. The land in which the San Thomas Aquino Creek runs is owned by the Santa Clara Valley Water
District.
In August staff solicited Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and invited qualified consulting professionals
experienced in the design of bridge replacement projects to submit proposals to complete the
construction plans and to assist with public input regarding the final design.
On September 12, the City received RFQ's from three highly qualified design consultant firms. On
October 21, 2013, both the City of Saratoga and Town of Los Gatos staff interviewed two of the
consultant firms to clarify the scope of the design. The design consultant Mark Thomas & Company was
ultimately selected to complete the design. Mark Thomas & Company was also the lowest bidder.
It is therefore recommended that City Council approve a consulting services contract with Mark Thomas
& Company for design of the Quito Road Bridge Replacement Project in the amount of $322,462.
Additionally, it recommended that City Council authorize staff to execute change orders to the contract
up to $75,000, so input from residents collected during the course of the design process can be included
in the final construction plans.
Page 1 of 2
152
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The HBRR Program will reimburse $170,000 of the consulting services and the remaining local match of
$227,462 will be shared equally between Saratoga, Los Gatos, and the District.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The construction plans will not be completed and the project will not move forward towards construction
in 2016.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
N/A
FOLLOW UP ACTION:
A design contract will be executed and the consultant will be issued a Notice to Proceed. Work will
begin as soon as possible and completed in the spring of 2014.
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT:
This item was posted as a City Council agenda item and was included in the packet made available on the
City's web site in advance of the meeting. A copy of the agenda packet is also made available at the
Saratoga Branch Library each Monday in advance of the Council meeting and residents may subscribe to

PREPARED BY:
AGENDA ITEM:
City Manager's Office
Richard Taylor
City Attorney
CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson
DIRECTOR: Dave Anderson
SUBJECT: Proposed Water Supply Improvements Assessment District
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Consider and provide direction to staff regarding the proposal from the Arrowhead Cooperative
Company, Inc. to establish an assessment district to construct water supply improvements to
serve 39 homes and upon completion transfer those improvements to the San Jose Water
Company.
BACKGROUND:
The Arrowhead Cooperative Company, Inc. ( "ACCI ") provides water service to 39 homes in the
between Rolling Hills Road and Blue Hills Lane above Prospect Road in an area annexed to the
City in 2006. In October, ACCI made a presentation to the Finance Committee seeking the
City's assistance in financing and constructing improvements to the water supply system that
would allow the system to be transferred to San Jose Water Company. The Finance Committee
recommended that the request be brought before the City Council.
ACCI was formed in 1951 to provide water service to six homes. Since that time the number of
homes in its service area has expanded to 39. ACCI acquires water from San Jose Water
Company at a single supply point, pumps the water to a storage tank, and from there distributes
water to individual homes. The existing infrastructure is antiquated and ACCI has considered a
number of options for improvements to meet current demand and provide a reasonable quality of
service. A representative of ACCI will attend the City Council meeting to answer questions
regarding the current system and proposed improvements.
ACCI's preferred option is to have San Jose Water Company assume responsibility for water
supply and distribution in ACCI's service area. This would require ACCI to provide San Jose
Water Company with a satisfactory distribution system at the time of the transfer of
responsibility. Estimates prepared roughly ten years ago, put the cost of developing that
distribution system at roughly $1,500,000. ACCI proposes that these improvements be funded
by the City creating an assessment district in ACCI's service area and issuing bonds secured by
the assessment obligations.
Page 1 of 3
155
Feasibility
The ACCI proposal appears feasible based on an initial legal review. The Municipal
Improvement Act of 1913 allows cities to create assessment districts to fund new improvements
that will be owned, managed, or controlled by a regulated public utility (San Jose Water
Company is a regulated public utility). Although bond counsel will be required to opine on the
specifics of the bond issuance, bonds should be permitted under similar principles. San Jose
Water Company has indicated that one or more approvals from the Public Utilities Commission
may be required but that their regulatory assessment cannot proceed until additional engineering
work has been undertaken.
Process
If the City Council wishes to authorize staff to move forward with implementation of the
proposal, staff recommends a process including the following:
1. City staff will convene a Project Management Committee of key staff and representatives
of ACCI and San Jose Water. This committee will collaborate throughout the process to
ensure clear lines of communication and develop and implement the project work plan.
2. The City and ACCI will enter a deposit agreement similar to those used for applicants for
City planning and zoning approvals. The agreement will cover all City costs for
implementing the work plan (staff, assessment district consultants, legal counsel,
engineers, environmental review, etc.). It would provide that ACCI would be reimbursed
for all advances following approval of the assessment district and the issuance of the
bonds.
3. The Project Management Committee will develop a specific project work plan. This will
include the following components as well as others likely to be identified in the course of
project implementation:
a. Engineering Assessment by San Jose Water Company to define necessary
improvements and anticipated costs;
b. Agreement between City and San Jose Water Company regarding construction
and acquisition of the improvements;
C. Compliance with Public Utilities Commission regulatory requirements;
d. Environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act;
e. Bond counsel review; and
f. Preparation of Assessment District formation documents and Engineers Report.
4. The City Council will undertake Assessment District formation proceedings. These will
include several public hearings and an opportunity for landowners to vote on formation of
the district.
Page 2 of 3
156
5. Issuance of bonds. Assuming landowner approval of the assessment district, bonds
would be issued. Depending on the advice of bond counsel it may be possible to
consolidate this with the final step of the assessment district proceedings.
6. San Jose Water will undertake or manage construction of the improvements pursuant to
its agreement with the City.
7. Upon completion, the improvements will be transferred to San Jose Water and San Jose
Water will commence providing water supply and distribution services. ACCI will be
responsible for disposing of all existing infrastructure and any steps necessary to wind up
operations.
8. The City will administer the assessment district and repayment of the bonds from
assessment district proceeds. The costs of administration would be included in the
assessment district.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
Assuming that the project is funded by ACCI through a deposit agreement and the assessment
district administration is covered by annual assessments as described above the project would
have no fiscal impacts to the City.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING THE RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
ACCI would be required to find an alternative source of financing for system improvements or
continue to provide service at existing service levels.

MEETING DATE: November 6, 2013 AGENDA ITEM:
DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office
PREPARED BY: Patrick Tsai
City Manager's Office Intern
CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson
DIRECTOR: Dave Anderson
SUBJECT: Approval of Updated City of Saratoga Records Retention Schedule
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt resolution approving the updated records retention schedule.
BACKGROUND:
In June 2009, the City Council approved the existing records retention schedule. Based on four
years of working with the schedule, staff identified opportunities to make improvements to better
coordinate with day -to -day City operations and streamline recordkeeping. The City Manager's
Office hired an intern, supervised by the Deputy City Clerk, to update its format and content.
To update the existing retention schedule, each department reviewed the existing retention
schedule to see whether any changes needed to be made to the description, retention, or list of
records, given their experience with the prior schedule and understanding of city operations.
Staff also consulted guidelines provided by the Secretary of State and referred to the records
retention schedules of other cities. The City Attorney then reviewed all of the proposed changes.
The key updates are as follows: (1) created a City -wide "General Administration" section; (2)
revised names and descriptions of record series to match terms used in program administration;
(3) reorganized or consolidated records series; (4) removed inapplicable record series; (5) added
new record series; (6) changed record retention periods; and (7) edited citations. All City records
are maintained for a minimum of two years. The revisions do not authorize the destruction of
any City records before that time. Most revisions retain or extend the retention period
established by the 2009 schedule.
FISCAL IMPACTS:

Updated Records Retention
Schedule
City Manager's Office
11/6/2013
161
Introduction:
State law generally requires cities to retain their records for at least two years and in some
cases longer periods of time. In addition, efficient administration of City business requires
retaining different types of records for different periods. Accordingly the City of Saratoga
has prepared this Records Retention Schedule. The Schedule was developed with
reference to the Secretary of State Local Government - Records Management Guidelines,
City experience with use of various types of records, specific legal requirements applicable
to various types of records, and the experiences and practices of other cities.
Key terms:
The Schedule uses the following key terms:
"Record Series ": A record series is a group of similar records arranged under a single filing
system or kept together as a unit. They deal with a particular subject, result from the same
activity, or have a special form.
"Official Retention ": The length of time a record must be retained to fulfill its
administrative, fiscal and /or legal function.
"Citation ": A reference to legal authority.
"Vital" (V), "Historical" (H), "Confidential" (C): Three special characteristics, as defined
below, that assist the City with understanding the value of certain records.
"Description ": A statement that explains what documents are included within a record
series.
Retention Period Abbreviations:
AU: Year of Audit
CU: Current Year
CL: Closed
E: Election Date
L: Life (of improvement or equipment)
P: Permanent
SU: Superseded
T: Term (of employment, contract, etc.)
*: Refer to note in the record's description
for additional retention details

FMLA: Family and Medical Leave Act
LC: Labor Code
OMB: Office of Management & Budget
OSHA: Occupational Safety & Health Act
R &T: Revenue and Taxation Code
UFC: Uniform Fire Code
USC: United States Code
V: Vital records are critical to the City's business, and are either irreplaceable or very
difficult to replace. Vital records enable the City to provide important services during and
immediately following a disaster or emergency; meet obligations to employees; reconstruct
assets, legal rights and obligations; and establish the City's financial position.
H: Historical records may document the City's incorporation, annexations, major projects,
and strategic direction. These records may have intrinsic value due to age, author, subject,
or special nature.
C: Confidential records contain sensitive or private information that would be harmful to
an employee or the City if accessed or viewed by unauthorized individuals. Care should be
taken to protect confidential records.
Policies:
The "General Administration" section applies to all departments.
For convenience, the destruction date for all non - permanent records is set as Dec. 31 of the
relevant year. For example, a record with a retention of CU +2 created on April 12, 2010
would be set for destruction on Dec. 31, 2012. Similarly, if a record was to be retained for
CL +7 and the matter closed on April 12, 2010, the destruction date would be set for Dec.
31, 2017.
