SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: November 15, 2017
DEPARTMENT: Finance & Administrative Services
PREPARED BY: Ann Xu, Accountant
SUBJECT: Treasurer’s Report for the Month Ended September 30, 2017
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Review and accept the amended Treasurer’s Report for the month ended September 30, 2017.
BACKGROUND:
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 STATEMENT:
Cash and Investments Balance by Fund
As of September 30, 2017, the City had $491,447 in cash deposit at Comerica bank, and $19,084,894 on
deposit with LAIF. The City Council’s adopted policy on the Working Capital Reserve Fund states that
effective July 1, 2017: for cash flow purposes and to avoid occurrence of dry period financing, pooled cash
from all funds should not be allowed to fall below $1,000,000. The total pooled cash balance as of
September 30, 2017 is $19,576,341 and exceeds the minimum limit required.
City’s Current Financial Position
In accordance with California government code section 53646 (b) (3), the City is financially well positioned
and able to meet its expenditure requirements for the next six months. As of September 30, 2017, the City’s
financial position (Assets $20.7M, Liabilities $3.1M and Fund Equity $17.6M) remains very strong and
there are no issues in meeting financial obligations now or in the foreseeable future.
Unrestricted Cash
Comerica Bank 491,447$
Deposit with LAIF 19,084,894$
Total Unrestricted Cash 19,576,341$
Cash Summary
40
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.
Fund Balance Designations
In accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54, Fund Balance
Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions, the components of fund balance are 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.

SUBJECT:MOU with Santa Clara County Accepting FEMA Hazard Mitigation
Performance Grant Funding
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a Resolution approving a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) accepting FEMA Hazard
Mitigation Performance Grant funding for up to $50,859.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG)is to provide federal grants
to States to assist state, local, territorial, and tribal governments in preparing for all hazards. The
Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) awarded Santa Clara County 2017 EMPG
funding in the amount of $518,921 (Attachment B) for the purpose of sustaining and improving
comprehensive emergency management programs.
The attached MOU (Attachment A)is to allocate the sum of $50,859 from County to the City of
Saratoga, so that the City may implement the following projects as provided under this
agreement and specified in the EMPG Grant Certifications and Assurances:
$1,300 for California Emergency Services Association (CESA) Conference
$31,759 for new electronic equipment supporting the EOC
$16,000 for new CERT Trailer and supplies/materials
$1,800 for Emergency Manager Professional Development (classes/trainings)
$50,859 TOTAL
The City is required to match the grant funding. This match may be accomplished through cash
or in-kind contributions. The City will use eliegible in-kind labor costs to achieve roughly
$35,000 of the required match. The remaining match will be met by using Risk Management
funds of approximately $16,000. Further details are provided in the EMPG Match Guidance
sheet (Attachment D).Staff recommends that Council adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment
E) accepting the EMPG funds. The performance period for this grant expires March 31, 2018.

The EMPG is a reimbursement grant under which Cal OES disburses reimbursement funds to County,
and County disburses reimbursement funds to City. No cash advances are permitted under the EMPG
program.
The EMPG is a matching funds grant that requires City to provide a dollar-for-dollar match for any
EMPG funds it receives. All invoices/ requests for reimbursement from City must include appropriate
documentation such as receipts or payment records as well as other documentation required under
Federal or State grant program requirements (see Article III).
(a) Requests for Equipment
City is solely responsible for procuring any equipment under this Agreement in accordance with
Federal requirements for procuring grant funded equipment; and, if more restrictive, applicable City
procurement policies and requirements.
Prior to purchasing any equipment under this Agreement, when required, City must submit an
Environmental and Historic Preservation (EHP) Screening form and receive written approval from
FEMA.
The following documentation must be provided along with any reimbursement requests for
equipment:
• Quote or solicitation documents
• Summary of pricing and chosen vendor
• Documentation that vendor is not on the excluded parties list (https://www.epls.gov/) (a
print-out of the search result page will suffice)
• Purchase order and/or contract
51

• Receiving documentation/packing slip
• Invoice
• Proof of payment
All equipment must be indicated in the Spend Plan City submits to County, and must be
authorized per the web-based Authorized Equipment List published by FEMA and available via:

(b) Subcontracts
Subcontracts totaling $25,000 or more require preapproval from the County. If City is allowed
to award subcontracts totaling $25,000 or more, it must report on any such subcontracts and on
Highly Compensated Individuals on the Financial Disclosure Form, Exhibit E, within 30 days
of the award. The following information must be included in City’s report on any sub-award
exceeding $25,000:

• Award title (descriptive of the purpose of the funding action);
• Location of the receiving entity and primary location of performance including city, state,
and federal Congressional district;
• Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) DUNS Number of the receiving entity, and of its parent if
applicable; and
• Total compensation and names of receiving entity’s five most highly compensated
executives if:
o In the preceding fiscal year, the subcontractor received 80 percent or more, and
$25,000,000 or more, of its gross annual revenue from federal procurement
contracts or subcontracts or from federal financial assistance subject to the
Transparency Act, as defined at 2 C.F.R. § 170.230; and
o The public does not have access to information about the compensation of the
executives through periodic reports filed under section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. § 78m(a), 78o(d), or under section
6104 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

following the month in which it makes the subaward. For example, if the
subaward is obligated in any date in April 2017, City must report any required
compensation information by May 31, 2017.
Classified information that, in the interest of national security, requires protection against
unauthorized disclosure (i.e., information deemed Top Secret, Secret, or Confidential under
Executive Order 12958) is exempt from the Prime and Sub-Recipient reporting requirements, as
are contracts with individuals.
(c) Sole Source Contracts
Sole source contracts of $150,000 or more are not allowable under the EMPG program unless
first approved by Cal OES. City must obtain sole source request documentation and submit it to
52
5
the Grants Manager of County’s OES. Upon City’s completion and submission of the required
sole source documentation, County’s Grants Manager shall forward all sole source documents
to the appropriate Cal OES contact for review and approval. Only after Cal OES approval is
given can a sole source procurement be completed and expenditures reimbursed using EMPG
allocated funds. All sole source procurements must follow Federal procurement requirements
for grants and, if more restrictive, the City’s own procurement policies.

expenditures within a given quarter as specified above in Article II, Section 2(a).
(c) All grant funds not claimed by City via a proper reimbursement request, which includes all
required documentation, by March 31, 2018 will be forfeited. County may then determine
how to spend those funds in accordance with grant requirements.
Article IV. Use of Funds
1. Master Grant Obligations
(a) City shall comply with the EMPG Federal Program Guidance, the State Guidance, and the
Grant Certifications and Assurances, attached as Exhibit B. City shall require any
subgrantee, contractor, or other entity receiving EMPG funds through or from City to execute
a copy of the Grant Certifications and Assurances, and shall be responsible for ensuring that
subgrantee, contractor, or other entity complies with the Grant Certifications and
Assurances.
(b) City shall ensure its Project Manager attends a grant kickoff meeting with County OES staff.
Additionally, City shall ensure its Project Manager is available to meet with County OES
staff upon request during the period of this agreement to report on progress on each project
funded under this Agreement.
(c) City shall comply with all other applicable statutes, regulations, executive orders,
requirements, policies, guides, guidelines, information bulletins, Cal OES grant management
memos, and instructions; the terms and conditions of the grant award; the approved Spend
Plans; and any other conditions imposed by Cal OES or by this Agreement, provided that if
any provisions of this Agreement conflict with any State requirements, the State
requirements will control. City shall ensure that any subgrantee, contractor, or other entity
receiving EMPG funds through or from City complies with all applicable statutes,
regulations, executive orders, requirements, policies, guides, guidelines, information
bulletins, Cal OES grant management memos, and instructions; the terms and conditions of
the grant award; the approved Spend Plans; and any other conditions imposed by Cal OES
or by this Agreement.
(d) By executing this Agreement, City certifies that it is not debarred, suspended, or otherwise
ineligible to receive EMPG funds. In addition, City shall ensure and independently verify
that any subgrantee, contractor, or other entity receiving EMPG funds through or from City
is not debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from participation in the EMPG program.
City shall maintain documentary proof of this verification in its files.
2. Scope of Services
(a) City shall use the funds granted under this Agreement only for the purpose of implementing
applicable initiatives under the 2017 EMPG program, as indicated in Exhibit C, Program
54
7
Narrative. City shall not use the funds granted under this Agreement for any other purpose.
County shall not be required to disburse funds to or otherwise pay City for services,
materials, equipment, or supplies provided by City that are beyond the scope of the services,
materials, equipment, or supplies agreed upon in this Agreement or a lawfully executed
written amendment.
Indirect costs are allowable under the FY17 EMPG grant. Allowability of Indirect costs does
not increase the total amount of the State, Operational Area or other sub-recipient (i.e.
jurisdictions) grant awards. Claims for indirect costs therefore necessarily decrease the
federal funds available to pay for direct project costs. Subawards are based on the direct cost
of approved projects. Sub-recipients wishing to claim indirect costs must use an indirect cost
rate in compliance with applicable Federal guidance and regulations including 2 C.F.R. §
200.68 and Subpart E.
(b) All EMPG grant-funded personnel (e.g. an Emergency Preparedness Planner employed by
the City under this grant) shall participate in no less than three exercises in a 12-month
period. EMPG grant-funded personnel are any personnel paid at any percentage with
EMPG funding. This includes contracted personnel, as well as M&A staff funded by
EMPG grant funds. There is no specific requirement for level of “participation” in the
exercises – i.e., observation and attendance satisfies the objective. The exercises can be of
any type (e.g., Drills, Tabletop Exercises, or Functional) within the performance period
(see https://hseep.dhs.gov). Participation in exercises by grant funded staff must be
reported quarterly to ensure adequate progress is being made toward meeting this
requirement.
(c) To ensure the development of a professional emergency management workforce, all EMPG
grant-funded personnel shall complete the following 11 training requirements and shall
record proof of completion:
• National Incident Management System (NIMS) Training:
i. IS 100 Introduction to Incident Command System
ii. IS 200 ICS for Single Resources and Initial Action Incident
iii. IS 700 National Incident Management System, An Introduction
iv. IS 800 National Response Framework, An Introduction
• FEMA Professional Development Series:
v. IS 120 Introduction to Exercises
vi. IS 230 Fundamentals of Emergency Management
vii. IS 235 Emergency Planning
viii. IS 240 Leadership and Influence
ix. IS 241 Decision Making and Problem Solving
x. IS 242 Effective Communication
xi. IS 244 Developing and Managing Volunteers
The aforementioned courses are all available for free on-line at the following links:
http://training.fema.gov/IS/NIMS.aspx & http://training.fema.gov/emiweb/PDS/
Note: The “G” course series and classroom-based equivalents can be used as an alternate
to satisfy these training requirements. Past completion of the above courses (or qualifying
equivalent) is considered acceptable in meeting this requirement.

3. Termination
(a) Termination for Convenience. County shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to

Article VI. Indemnification and Liabilities
1. Indemnification by City
In lieu of and notwithstanding the pro rata risk allocation that might otherwise be imposed between the
parties under Government Code section 895.6, County and City agree instead that under Government
Code section 895.4, City shall fully indemnify and hold County, its officers, board members, employees,
and agents, harmless from any claim, expense or cost, damage or liability imposed for injury (as defined
by Government Code section 810.8) occurring by reason of the negligent acts or omissions or willful
misconduct of City, its officers, board members, employees or agents, under or in connection with or
arising out of any work, authority or jurisdiction delegated to City under this Agreement. This indemnity
shall include, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, consultants and experts and related costs,
and County’s cost of investigating any claim.
2. Duty to Defend
City acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to defend County under Article V.1: (a) is an immediate
obligation, independent of its other obligations under this Agreement; and (b) applies to any claim,
expense, cost, damage, or liability falling within the scope of Article V.1, regardless of whether the
allegations made in connection with that claim, expense, cost, damage, or liability may be groundless,
false, or fraudulent. County shall provide City with prompt notice of any claim, expense, cost, damage,
or liability under Article V.1 and City shall have the right to defend, settle, or compromise that claim,
expense, cost, damage, or liability, provided, however, that County shall have the right to retain its own
counsel at City’s expense if representation of County by counsel retained by City would result in a
conflict of interest, and that City shall obtain County’s prior written consent to settle or compromise if
City contends that County shares in any liability. County’s failure to notify City promptly of any claim,
expense, cost, damage, or liability shall not relieve City of liability to County under Article V.1 unless
that failure materially impairs City’s ability to defend against the claim, expense, cost, damage, or
liability.
3. Limitation on Liability
County, its officers, board members, employees, and agents shall not be responsible for any damage or
liability occurring by reason of the negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of City, its officers,
board members, employees, or agents, under or in connection with or arising out of any work, authority
or jurisdiction delegated to City under this Agreement.
County’s obligations under this Agreement shall be limited to the aggregate amount of EMPG funds
actually disbursed. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or any other document or
communication between County and City relating to this Agreement, in no event shall County be liable
for any damages arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the EMPG funds, City’s Spend
Plan, or any activities performed in connection with this Agreement.

I E. Project Description
- Briefly describe exactly what the project entails, what purchases and/or
personnel will be necessary for the project
This project will enable Operational Area emergency managers to fully
leverage data communication capabilities and sharing of critical
information in their EOCs. Computers support response and mitigation
during emergencies and disasters via common operating picture and
resource management web based programs such as Web EOC, HSIN,
COPLink, Mutualink, etc. as well as by supporting situational awareness.
Eligibility of Operational Area jurisdictions for this funding is based on
the following criteria:
Equipment criteria
•Funding is primarily for laptops, not for tablets, iPads or other
devices.
•Written justification must be provided if funding is requested for
tablets, iPads, or any other computing devices. This written
justification must identify the computing devices currently used
in the City/Town EOC as well as why a non-Laptop device is
required. These requests will be evaluated and approved on an
individual basis.
•Funding is primarily for replacement of existing EOC laptops
that are at least 4 years old.
•Written justification must be provided if funding is requested for
additional laptop capacity (i.e. non-replacement laptops) in the
City/Town EOC. This written justification must identify the
specific EOC needs the additional laptop(s) would provide for
as well as specifically how the laptop will be used in the EOC
during an activation. These requests will be evaluated and
approved on an individual basis.
•Funding is limited to a maximum of $1,600 per computing
device (including all peripherals, tax and shipping).
•Grant funds cannot be used to purchase warranties,
maintenance/service agreements, or software that aren’t
bundled/included with the laptop.
•Any computing device purchased under this project must be
capable of running WebEOC—e.g. able to connect to the
city/town network and run the necessary browser or other
software to access WebEOC.
City/Town Criteria
•The City/Town must email their intent to use EMPG funding for
computing devices—along with the number and type (e.g.
81
FY17-Project Request-EMPG EOC Laptops 3
laptop) of devices and any required justifications—by October
1, 2017.
•Each City/Town must enter into an MOU with the County for
the computers by December 31, 2017.
•Each City/Town must procure any approved computers under
an existing competitive contract OR obtain bids in accordance
with local (City/Town) and Federal procurement rules
(whichever is more restrictive).
Each City/Town must procure any approved computers and submit all
invoices to the County Office of Emergency Services by February 15,
2018.

FY17 EMPG Match Guidance
Introduction
Determining match for the purposes of submitting grant applications to any
agency should be a coordinated process at the local level. It is highly
recommended that programmatic staff at the local level consult with their
financial staff prior to submitting any grant applications, especially those
that identify cash or third-party in-kind match.
Types of Match
1.Cash Match. Cash (hard) match includes non-federal cash spent for
project related costs, according to the grant program guidance.
Allowable cash match must only include those costs which are both
identified as allowable in the program guidance, i.e., The DHS FY 2017
Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program Notice of
Funding Opportunity (NOFO) and are in compliance with the program
regulations, i.e., 2 (Code of Federal Regulations) C.F.R. Part 200,
Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards.
2.In-kind Match. In-kind (soft) match includes, but is not limited to,
the valuation of in-kind services. “In-kind” is the value of something
received or provided by a third-party that does not have a cost
associated with it. For example, if in-kind match (other than cash
payments) is permitted, then the value of donated services could be
used to comply with the match requirement. Also, in-kind
contributions may count toward satisfying match requirements
provided the subrecipient receiving the contributions expends them as
allowable costs in compliance with the DHS FY 2017 EMPG Program
NOFO and the 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal
Awards.
Definitions
•Cost sharing or matching. This means the value of the third party
in-kind contributions and the portion of the costs of a federally-
assisted project or program not borne by the Federal Government, see
2 C.F.R. § 200.29. All cost sharing or matching funds claimed against
a FEMA grant by state, local, or tribal governments must meet the
requirements of the grant program guidance and program regulations
2 C.F.R. § 200.306.
Attachment D
103
[2]
• Cash Match (hard). This includes cash spent for project-related costs
under a subaward. Allowable cash match must include only those
costs which are allowable, with federal funds, in compliance with the
grant program guidance and program regulations and 2 C.F.R. §
200.306.
• In-kind Match (soft). This means third-party contributions of the
reasonable value of property or services in lieu of cash which benefit a
federally-assisted project or program. This type of match may only be
used if not restricted or prohibited by program statute, regulation, or
guidance and must be supported with source documentation. Only
property or services that are in compliance with grant program
guidance and program regulations and 2 C.F.R. § 200.306 are
allowable.
Basic Guidelines
• For costs to be eligible to meet matching requirements, the costs must
first be allowable under the grant program.
• The costs must also be in compliance with all Federal requirements
and regulations (see 2 C.F.R. § 200.306); the costs must be verifiable,
reasonable, allowable, allocable, and necessary under the grant
program.
• Records for all expenditures relating to cost sharing or matching must
be kept in the same manner as those for the grant funds.
• The following documentation is required for third-party cash and in-
kind contributions: record of donor; dates of donation; rates for
staffing, equipment or usage, supplies, etc.; amounts of donation; and
deposit slips for cash contributions; this documentation is to be held at
the Applicant and/or sub-applicant level. See 2 C.F.R. 200.302
Financial Management, 2 C.F.R 200.333 Retention Requirements for
Records, and 200.403(a-g) Factors affecting allowability of costs.
• Except as provided by federal statute, a cost sharing or matching
requirement may not be met by costs borne by another federal grant.
• The source of the match funds must be identified in the grant
application.
• Every item must be verifiable, i.e., tracked and documented.
104
[3]
• Any claimed cost share expense can only be counted once.
Examples (For additional examples of match, please contact your county
finance office)
• The Emergency Management Director has 50 percent of his/her salary
paid from local funds and 50 percent paid from federal grant funds,
but he/she provides 100 percent effort in the federal grant program
that only pays 50 percent salary. The additional 50 percent of
effort/time toward the federal grant program can be claimed as hard
(Cash) match. All record keeping requirements to prove the 100
percent time allocation apply.
• Non-federally funded equipment or facilities used during exercises can
be claimed as soft match, but only at the time of third-party donation.
For example, only the fair market price for the use of the facility for
the period of the exercise can be claimed as match.
• Third party in-kind contributions of salary, travel, equipment, supplies
and other budget areas that are from third party sources must be in
compliance with 2 C.F.R. §200.306, Cost sharing or matching. These
types of contributions include voluntary contributions, such as
emergency personnel, lawyers, etc., who donate their time to a federal
grant program. The normal per hour rate for these professionals
(acting in their professional capacity) can be used to meet the
matching requirement. The value of the services provided is taken
into consideration when determining the value of the contribution - not
who is providing the service. For example, if a lawyer is volunteering
his services to assist flood victims in filing legal paper work, the
lawyer’s normal hourly rate is allowable. If the lawyer is volunteering
his services and is working in a soup kitchen, the lawyer’s hourly rate
would not be applicable; it would be the hourly rate for a soup kitchen
worker.

Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards
2 C.F.R. § 200.306, Cost sharing or matching
Cost sharing or matching
(a) Under Federal research proposals, voluntary committed cost sharing is
not expected. It cannot be used as a factor during the merit review of
applications or proposals, but may be considered if it is both in
accordance with Federal awarding agency regulations and specified in
a notice of funding opportunity. Criteria for considering voluntary
committed cost sharing and any other program policy factors that may
be used to determine who may receive a Federal award must be
explicitly described in the notice of funding opportunity. See also
§§200.414 Indirect (F&A) costs, 200.203 Notices of funding
opportunities, and Appendix I to Part 200—Full Text of Notice of
Funding Opportunity.
(b) For all Federal awards, any shared costs or matching funds and all
contributions, including cash and third party in-kind contributions,
must be accepted as part of the non-Federal entity's cost sharing or
matching when such contributions meet all of the following criteria:
(1) Are verifiable from the non-Federal entity's records;
(2) Are not included as contributions for any other Federal award;
(3) Are necessary and reasonable for accomplishment of project or
program objectives;
(4) Are allowable under Subpart E—Cost Principles of this part;
(5) Are not paid by the Federal Government under another Federal
award, except where the Federal statute authorizing a program
specifically provides that Federal funds made available for such
program can be applied to Cost sharing or matching requirements
of other Federal programs;
(6) Are provided for in the approved budget when required by the
Federal awarding agency; and
(7) Conform to other provisions of this part, as applicable.
(c) Unrecovered indirect costs, including indirect costs on cost sharing or
matching may be included as part of cost sharing or matching only
with the prior approval of the Federal awarding agency. Unrecovered
indirect cost means the difference between the amount charged to the
Federal award and the amount which could have been charged to the
106
[5]
Federal award under the non-Federal entity's approved negotiated
indirect cost rate.
(d) Values for non-Federal entity contributions of services and property
must be established in accordance with the cost principles in Subpart
E—Cost Principles. If a Federal awarding agency authorizes the non-
Federal entity to donate buildings or land for construction/facilities
acquisition projects or long-term use, the value of the donated
property for cost sharing or matching must be the lesser of paragraphs
(d)(1) or (2) of this section.
(1) The value of the remaining life of the property recorded in the
non-Federal entity's accounting records at the time of donation.
(2) The current fair market value. However, when there is sufficient
justification, the Federal awarding agency may approve the use of
the current fair market value of the donated property, even if it
exceeds the value described in (1) above at the time of donation.
(e) Volunteer services furnished by third-party professional and technical
personnel, consultants, and other skilled and unskilled labor may be
counted as cost sharing or matching if the service is an integral and
necessary part of an approved project or program. Rates for third-
party volunteer services must be consistent with those paid for similar
work by the non-Federal entity. In those instances in which the
required skills are not found in the non-Federal entity, rates must be
consistent with those paid for similar work in the labor market in which
the non-Federal entity competes for the kind of services involved. In
either case, paid fringe benefits that are reasonable, necessary,
allocable, and otherwise allowable may be included in the valuation.
(f) When a third-party organization furnishes the services of an employee,
these services must be valued at the employee's regular rate of pay
plus an amount of fringe benefits that is reasonable, necessary,
allocable, and otherwise allowable, and indirect costs at either the
third-party organization's approved federally negotiated indirect cost
rate or, a rate in accordance with §200.414 Indirect (F&A) costs,
paragraph (d), provided these services employ the same skill(s) for
which the employee is normally paid. Where donated services are
treated as indirect costs, indirect cost rates will separate the value of
the donated services so that reimbursement for the donated services
will not be made.
(g) Donated property from third parties may include such items as
equipment, office supplies, laboratory supplies, or workshop and
classroom supplies. Value assessed to donated property included in
107
[6]
the cost sharing or matching share must not exceed the fair market
value of the property at the time of the donation.
(h) The method used for determining cost sharing or matching for third-
party-donated equipment, buildings and land for which title passes to
the non-Federal entity may differ according to the purpose of the
Federal award, if paragraph (h)(1) or (2) of this section applies.
(1) If the purpose of the Federal award is to assist the non-Federal
entity in the acquisition of equipment, buildings or land, the
aggregate value of the donated property may be claimed as cost
sharing or matching.
(2) If the purpose of the Federal award is to support activities that
require the use of equipment, buildings or land, normally only
depreciation charges for equipment and buildings may be made.
However, the fair market value of equipment or other capital assets
and fair rental charges for land may be allowed, provided that the
Federal awarding agency has approved the charges. See also
§200.420 Considerations for selected items of cost.
(i) The value of donated property must be determined in accordance with
the usual accounting policies of the non-Federal entity, with the
following qualifications:
(1) The value of donated land and buildings must not exceed its fair
market value at the time of donation to the non-Federal entity as
established by an independent appraiser (e.g., certified real
property appraiser or General Services Administration
representative) and certified by a responsible official of the non-
Federal entity as required by the Uniform Relocation Assistance and
Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended, (42
U.S.C. 4601-4655) (Uniform Act) except as provided in the
implementing regulations at 49 C.F.R. part 24.
(2) The value of donated equipment must not exceed the fair market
value of equipment of the same age and condition at the time of
donation.
(3) The value of donated space must not exceed the fair rental value
of comparable space as established by an independent appraisal of
comparable space and facilities in a privately-owned building in the
same locality.
(4) The value of loaned equipment must not exceed its fair rental
value.
108
[7]
(j) For third-party in-kind contributions, the fair market value of goods
and services must be documented and to the extent feasible supported
by the same methods used internally by the non-Federal entity.
(k) For IHEs, see also OMB memorandum M-01-06, dated January 5,
2001, Clarification of OMB A-21 Treatment of Voluntary Uncommitted
Cost Sharing and Tuition Remission Costs.
2 C.F.R. Part 200, Subpart E – Cost Principles, General Provisions,
Basic Considerations
§200.402 Composition of costs. Total cost. The total cost of a Federal
award is the sum of the allowable direct and allocable indirect costs less
any applicable credits.
§200.403 Factors affecting allowability of costs. Except where
otherwise authorized by statute, costs must meet the following general
criteria in order to be allowable under Federal awards:
(a) Be necessary and reasonable for the performance of the Federal award
and be allocable thereto under these principles.
(b) Conform to any limitations or exclusions set forth in these principles or
in the Federal award as to types or amount of cost items.
(c) Be consistent with policies and procedures that apply uniformly to both
federally-financed and other activities of the non-Federal entity.
(d) Be accorded consistent treatment. A cost may not be assigned to a
Federal award as a direct cost if any other cost incurred for the same
purpose in like circumstances has been allocated to the Federal award
as an indirect cost.
(e) Be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP), except, for state and local governments and Indian
tribes only, as otherwise provided for in this part.
(f) Not be included as a cost or used to meet cost sharing or matching
requirements of any other federally-financed program in either the
current or a prior period. See also §200.306 Cost sharing or matching
paragraph (b).
(g) Be adequately documented. See also §§200.300 Statutory and
national policy requirements through 200.309 Period of performance of
this part.
§200.404 Reasonable costs. A cost is reasonable if, in its nature and
amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent
person under the circumstances prevailing at the time the decision was
made to incur the cost. The question of reasonableness is particularly
important when the non-Federal entity is predominantly federally-
109
[8]
funded. In determining reasonableness of a given cost, consideration
must be given to:
(a) Whether the cost is of a type generally recognized as ordinary and
necessary for the operation of the non-Federal entity or the proper and
efficient performance of the Federal award.
(b) The restraints or requirements imposed by such factors as: sound
business practices; arm's-length bargaining; Federal, state, local,
tribal, and other laws and regulations; and terms and conditions of the
Federal award.
(c) Market prices for comparable goods or services for the geographic
area.
(d) Whether the individuals concerned acted with prudence in the
circumstances considering their responsibilities to the non-Federal
entity, its employees, where applicable its students or membership,
the public at large, and the Federal Government.
(e) Whether the non-Federal entity significantly deviates from its
established practices and policies regarding the incurrence of costs,
which may unjustifiably increase the Federal award's cost.
§200.405 Allocable costs.
(a) A cost is allocable to a particular Federal award or other cost
objective if the goods or services involved are chargeable or assignable
to that Federal award or cost objective in accordance with relative
benefits received. This standard is met if the cost:
(1) Is incurred specifically for the Federal award;
(2) Benefits both the Federal award and other work of the non-
Federal entity and can be distributed in proportions that may be
approximated using reasonable methods; and
(3) Is necessary to the overall operation of the non-Federal entity
and is assignable in part to the Federal award in accordance with
the principles in this subpart.
(b) All activities which benefit from the non-Federal entity's indirect
(F&A) cost, including unallowable activities and donated services by
the non-Federal entity or third parties, will receive an appropriate
allocation of indirect costs.
(c) Any cost allocable to a particular Federal award under the principles
provided for in this part may not be charged to other Federal awards
to overcome fund deficiencies, to avoid restrictions imposed by Federal
statutes, regulations, or terms and conditions of the Federal awards,
or for other reasons. However, this prohibition would not preclude the
110
[9]
non-Federal entity from shifting costs that are allowable under two or
more Federal awards in accordance with existing Federal statutes,
regulations, or the terms and conditions of the Federal awards.
(d) Direct cost allocation principles. If a cost benefits two or more
projects or activities in proportions that can be determined without
undue effort or cost, the cost must be allocated to the projects based
on the proportional benefit. If a cost benefits two or more projects or
activities in proportions that cannot be determined because of the
interrelationship of the work involved, then, notwithstanding
paragraph (c) of this section, the costs may be allocated or transferred
to benefitted projects on any reasonable documented basis. Where the
purchase of equipment or other capital asset is specifically authorized
under a Federal award, the costs are assignable to the Federal award
regardless of the use that may be made of the equipment or other
capital asset involved when no longer needed for the purpose for
which it was originally required. See also §§200.310 Insurance
coverage through 200.316 Property trust relationship and 200.439
Equipment and other capital expenditures.
(e) If the contract is subject to CAS, costs must be allocated to the
contract pursuant to the Cost Accounting Standards. To the extent that
CAS is applicable, the allocation of costs in accordance with CAS takes
precedence over the allocation provisions in this part.
§200.406 Applicable credits.
(a) Applicable credits refer to those receipts or reduction-of-
expenditure-type transactions that offset or reduce expense items
allocable to the Federal award as direct or indirect (F&A) costs.
Examples of such transactions are: purchase discounts, rebates or
allowances, recoveries or indemnities on losses, insurance refunds or
rebates, and adjustments of overpayments or erroneous charges. To
the extent that such credits accruing to or received by the non-Federal
entity relate to allowable costs, they must be credited to the Federal
award either as a cost reduction or cash refund, as appropriate.
(b) In some instances, the amounts received from the Federal
Government to finance activities or service operations of the non-
Federal entity should be treated as applicable credits. Specifically, the
concept of netting such credit items (including any amounts used to
meet cost sharing or matching requirements) must be recognized in
determining the rates or amounts to be charged to the Federal award.
(See §§200.436 Depreciation and 200.468 Specialized service
facilities, for areas of potential application in the matter of Federal
financing of activities.)

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: November 15, 2017
DEPARTMENT: Recreation & Facilities
PREPARED BY: Kayla Nakamoto, Recreation Coordinator
SUBJECT: Youth Commission Fundraising Plan
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the Youth Commission to Fundraising Fund to collect donations and seek sponsorship of
various Youth Commission events and activities.
BACKGROUND:
For Fiscal year 2017/18, a total of $3,000 has been allocated in the City’s budget for Youth
Commission activities. Given the increase in Youth Commission activities scheduled for this
school year, the Commission would like permission from the City Council to raise the necessary
funds to fully implement the Commission’s work plan. Per the City of Saratoga Donation Policy,
adopted via Resolution 15-017, Commissioners must submit a Fundraising Plan for City Council
consideration before soliciting donations more than $500. Since more than $500 is needed to fully
fund the Commission’s 2017/18 activities, the Commission is proposing that the City Council
approve the attached Fundraising Plan (Attachment A).
In the past, the Youth Commission has collected monetary donations at each of their events and
charged admission for middle school dances. This year, the Commission would like to charge for
participation at two of their bigger events, the Color Dash and Fall Fair. The Commission would
also like to reach out to local organizations for donations and sponsorships and collect monetary
donations at tabling events. Donations and admission charges will be used to cover costs
associated with various Youth Commission events.
This year, the Commission plans to attend 7 community events. Typically, the Commission
hosts a kid-friendly activity at these events, such as face painting. In addition, the Commission
will be organizing several events on their own and in partnership with the Recreation
Department, as well as conducting their annual Walk One Week program for 3 to 4 schools.

City of Saratoga
Donation Policy
I. Purpose
Members and supporters of the Saratoga community from time to time wish to support
the community by making donations to the City of Saratoga. The City Council
appreciates this generosity and has adopted this policy regarding donations to the City of
Saratoga, including City departments and City sponsored programs, activities, and events.
(This policy is distinct from the Employee Gifts Policy, which provides City of Saratoga
employees with a clear standard about when it is acceptable and prohibited to accept gifts
from a member of the public, a business, an organization, or other entity.)
II. Definitions
1. Donation: a contribution made to the City without expectation of goods, services, or
significant benefit or recognition in return. Donations may be in the form of money or
in-kind contributions of products, services, investment securities, real property (land),
or any combination thereof. A donation may be unrestricted, where the donor has
placed no limitation on its use, or restricted, where the donor has restricted its use to a
specified purpose. Donations that, if accepted, would obligate the City to enter into a
service, procurement, or other agreement shall not be considered a donation. Grants
to the City from a local, state, or federal agency are not subject to this policy.

2. Donors shall not expect, nor shall the City grant, any extra consideration to the donor
in relation to City procurement, regulatory matters, or any other business, services, or
operations of the City. To avoid the possible appearance of extra considerations,
members of the Planning and Heritage Preservation Commissions and staff of the
Community Development Department are not authorized to solicit donations to the
City.
3. No City Council member, Commissioner, employee, or volunteer shall solicit
donations in excess of $500 in money or in-kind services for any City project,
program, activity, or event (“supported activity”) unless the City Council has
approved a fundraising plan for the supported activity. A recommended form for a
fundraising plan is attached as Exhibit A to be revised as appropriate for the
fundraising goal and type of supported activity in question.
4. Donations must be directly related to providing goods or services to the public or for
another valid public purpose. Donations may not be used for personal financial gain
of any City elected or appointed official or employee.
5. The net benefit of a donation should be considered when determining whether to
accept a donation. Net benefit includes all lifecycle costs of ownership, including
maintenance, repair, clean-up, administrative, and any potential liability or expenses
that may be associated with the donation.
a. Donations may not be used to implement new on-going programs or services
unless a permanent source of revenue is identified to support the program or
service.
b. Potential costs and liabilities should be considered if a donation of personal
property or of a service does not include the same indemnification, insurance,
bonding, or warranties that the City would normally receive through procurement
of personal property or services.
c. Real property may be donated to the City provided that it will not expose the City
to an unreasonable risk of litigation or liability, because of the physical condition
of the property or existence of claims, liens, and encumbrances against the
property.
6. Council members and other City officials are responsible for reporting fundraising
activities and donations as required by applicable laws and regulations.

or City Council at the time the donation is accepted, taking into consideration the
nature and level of the donation. Upon request of the donor or if specified in a City-
initiated request for donors, limited forms of promotional activity (such as logo or
name placement on signs, flyers, and other materials related to a program or activity
supported by the donation) are permitted. The appearance of traditional commercial
advertising should be avoided and the size of donor recognition should be in keeping
with the size of non-recognition information used in the materials. The agreed upon
form of recognition should be identified in the donor receipt or a donation agreement.
Any naming of City parks, property, or facilities shall follow the guidelines set forth
in the City’s Policy Pertaining to Naming City-Owned Land and Facilities.
5. When donations with a value in excess of $100 are accepted or upon the request of
the donor, the City will issue the donor a receipt indicating the amount of the
donation or describing the goods or services donated within 30 days of receiving the
donation. (In accordance with the Internal Revenue Code the City does not provide
an estimated value of in-kind donations; donors may refer to IRS Publication 561 for
more information on valuing donated property.) The donation receipt shall also
include the date of the donation, the name of the donor, the purpose of the donation
(if a restricted donation), a brief description of any public recognition that will be
made by the City, and note that the donor received no goods or services in exchange.
The original receipt shall be submitted to the donor and the City shall retain a copy.
A sample donation receipt is attached as Exhibit B.
6. Before acceptance of a restricted donation valued at more than $500 or an
unrestricted donation valued at more than $5,000, the respective obligations of the
donor and the City shall be set forth in a donation agreement. A sample donation
agreement is attached as Exhibit C. The City Manager or City Council may require
