SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: September 19, 2018
DEPARTMENT: Finance & Administrative Services
PREPARED BY: Ann Xu, Accountant
SUBJECT: Treasurer’s Report for the Month Ended July 31, 2018
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Review and accept the Treasurer’s Report for the month ended July 31, 2018.
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 July 31, 2018, the City had $480,150 in cash deposit at Comerica bank, and $23,471,746 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 July 31, 2018 is
$23,951,896 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 July 31, 2018, the City’s
financial position (Assets $24.2M, Liabilities $3.3M and Fund Equity $20.9M) remains very strong and
there are no issues in meeting financial obligations now or in the foreseeable future.
Unrestricted Cash
Comerica Bank 480,150$
Deposit with LAIF 23,471,746$
Total Unrestricted Cash 23,951,896$
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.

MEETING DATE:September 19, 2018
DEPARTMENT:Community Development Department
PREPARED BY:Debbie Pedro, Community Development Director
Wittwer Parkin LLP, Assistant City Attorney, Nicholas Whipps, Associate
SUBJECT:Adoption of Local CEQA Guidelines and State CEQA Guidelines by Reference
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the update to Saratoga’s Local CEQA Guidelines by adopting the Resolution in
Attachment A.
BACKGROUND:
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)requires public agencies to adopt local
implementing guidelines. The City last updated its local CEQA Guidelines in 1982 (Attachment
B). The local Guidelines provide for delegation of certain tasks, categories of exemptions, and
procedures governing applications, environmental review, notice and comment periods, and
appeals. In the intervening 36 years, various statutes and court opinions have changed the landscape
of environmental review under CEQA. Likewise, the City’s own environmental review practices
have changed over time. The attached Resolution would update the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines
to incorporate the State CEQA Guidelines and to ensure that City practices are consistent with State
law.Some noteworthy features of the updated Guidelines include:
Assignment of tasks and responsibilities in a manner consistent with the City’s current practices;
Identification of which City actions are appealable and which actions are not;
Flexibility throughout the environmental review process (e.g., City has discretion to extend
deadlines and seek additional information regarding potential impacts);
Funding of environmental review through an Environmental Review Deposit,including
indemnification of the City; and
A “CEQA Process Chart” providing a quick way to find information and assignments regarding
the environmental review process.

Attachment A
Local CEQA Guidelines of the City of Saratoga
The following processes, procedures, and criteria are hereby adopted as the City of Saratoga
Local California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines:
1.State CEQA Guidelines Adopted by Reference. The City Council of the City of
Saratoga has adopted by reference the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000 and following), as
updated from time to time. These Local Guidelines supplement the State CEQA
Guidelines with local administrative procedures to streamline the CEQA process and
provide transparency to applicants for City approvals.
2.CEQA Process Chart. The City of Saratoga CEQA Process Chart, attached as a part of
these Local CEQA Guidelines as Table 1, sets forth the relevant decisionmaker for each
major step of the CEQA process and indicates the steps requiring a hearing prior to the
decision and that are subject to appeal.
3.Community Development Director Duties. The Community Development Director, or
Director’s designee (collectively, “Director”), is responsible for administering
environmental review of all projects subject to CEQA in the City of Saratoga. In addition
to all other duties established in the City Code and CEQA Process Chart, the Director
shall be responsible for the following CEQA actions, when applicable:
A.Contracting with outside consultants, or managing City staff, to prepare and
process all CEQA-related documents.
B.Preparing, publishing, mailing, posting, delivering, and filing all applicable
CEQA notices.
C.Coordinating with other City departments to respond on behalf of the City as a
Responsible Agency, if directed to respond, or if the Director determines, in the
Director’s discretion, a response is appropriate.
D.Noticing any CEQA determination pursuant to a Notice of Determination or
Notice of Exemption.
4.Acceptance of Application as Complete. No application for a permit or other City
approval shall be deemed complete until the following conditions are met:
51
City of Saratoga Local CEQA Guidelines - Page 2
A.The Director has received all information required to make a determination that
the underlying project is either exempt from CEQA or requires the preparation of
a Negative Declaration, Mitigated Negative Declaration, or Environmental Impact
Report; and
B.If environmental review is required, an Environmental Review Agreement has
been fully executed and the Environmental Review Deposit established in that
agreement has been paid in full.
5.Unreasonable Delay. An unreasonable delay by a project applicant in meeting requests
by the City necessary for the preparation of a Negative Declaration, Mitigated Negative
Declaration, or Environmental Impact Report shall suspend the running of any specified
time periods for completing a Negative Declaration, Mitigated Negative Declaration, or
Environmental Impact Report for the period of the unreasonable delay. A delay
exceeding 30 days is rebuttably presumed to be unreasonable.
6.Environmental Review Process.
A.The City shall prepare, or contract with outside consultants to prepare
environmental documentation in a manner that ensures the environmental review
is conducted in an objective manner. No person assigned or contracted to conduct
environmental review shall have a conflict of interest that would interfere with the
objectivity of the consultant’s environmental review of the project including, but
not limited to, the following:
i.A financial interest—as that term is defined in the Political Reform Act
(Gov. Code § 87100; 14 Cal. Code Regs. § 18700(c)(6))—in the outcome
of the City’s review of the project for which the consultant has been
contracted to consult.
ii.Bias in favor of, or against, the approval of the project. The Director may,
in the Director’s discretion, determine the existence of actual bias, but
only if such determination is based on concrete evidence.
B.The Director, Planning Commission, or City Council may request that the
applicant modify a project to reduce or avoid the environmental impact(s) of the
project. If the applicant refuses to modify the project to reduce or avoid
environmental impact(s) the City has determined may be significant, the Director
may, in the Director’s discretion, require the preparation of an Environmental
Impact Report to address the impact(s).
52
City of Saratoga Local CEQA Guidelines - Page 3
C.As the Director, Planning Commission, or City Council deem appropriate, the
Director, Planning Commission, or City Council may require additional studies
and information regarding the potential environmental impact(s) of a project.
i.The Director, Planning Commission, or City Council may request
additional studies or information from the applicant in order to ascertain
whether the project may have a significant effect on the environment.
ii.If any requested study or information is not readily available, the Director
may independently obtain such study or information at the applicant’s
expense, which expense shall be charged to the applicant.
iii.If the Director, Planning Commission, or City Council determines it is
infeasible to obtain studies or information it determines are necessary, the
Director, Planning Commission, or City Council may assume that the
project may have a significant effect on the environment and proceed by
preparing an Environmental Impact Report.
7.Ministerial Actions.
A.The Director shall exempt from environmental review any project the Director
determines is exclusively ministerial. A project is not exclusively ministerial if it
is conducted in conjunction with other discretionary actions, or if the Project
includes a mix of both ministerial and discretionary elements, determinations, or
approvals.

limited to, the following:

the City’s preparation and review of all project-related environmental review
documents the Director determines, in the Director’s discretion, are necessary to
adequately process and analyze the project in compliance with CEQA. Related
costs include staff time, outside consultants, legal review, publication, providing
public notice and outreach, and all other expenses reasonably determined
necessary by the City for compliance with CEQA and other state and local laws.
B.The applicant shall submit an Environmental Review Agreement in a form to be
determined by the Director including, but not limited to, an initial Environmental
Review Deposit amount, which shall include, but is not necessarily limited to, the
following:
i.The estimated cost to prepare and review environmental documentation
for the project;

indemnify the City against all third-party claims, actions, or proceedings to attack,
set aside, void, or annul any CEQA-related act or omission regarding the project

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETINGDATE:September 19, 2018
DEPARTMENT:CommunityDevelopment Department
PREPAREDBY:Sandy L. Baily, Special Projects Manager
SUBJECT:Ordinance Amending Heritage Preservation Commission Membership
Requirements
RECOMMENDEDACTION:
1.Conduct a public hearing.
2.Introduce and waive the first reading of the ordinance amending Chapter 13 (Heritage
Preservation) of the Saratoga Municipal Code related to the Heritage Preservation
Commission.
3.Direct staff to place the ordinance on the Consent Calendar for adoption at the next regular
meeting of the CityCouncil.
BACKGROUND:
On November 4, 1981 the City Council adopted a Historic Preservation ordinance which created
a five member Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC). On May 18, 1983 the City Council
amended the Heritage Preservation Ordinance to increase the membership of the Commission to
seven. The need for a membership increase was due to the Commission’s workload to implement
the new historic preservation program and begin the process for creating a heritage inventory.
Discussion by the HPC at that time was that the need for a seven member commission was
temporary only.
On December 16, 1987 the City adopted a resolution approving the application and State
certification agreement to become a Certified Local Government (CLG). The CLG program is a
partnership among local governments, the State of California Office of Historic Preservation
(OHP), and the National Park Service (NPS). The CLG program encourages the direct
participation of local governments in the identification, evaluation, registration, and preservation
of historic properties within their jurisdictions and promotes the integration of local preservation
interests and concerns into local planning and decision making processes. One of the
requirements to be a CLG is that a jurisdiction must establish an adequate and qualified historic
preservation review commission which meets certain criteria.
66
2 | P a g e
DISCUSSION:
The HPC has had a vacancy since January 2018 for which no one has applied for. In December
2018 two Commissioners terms will be up and only one of these Commissioners is eligible to
reapply. Due to inactivity of applicants and the openings in December, it is recommended that the
membership of the Commission be reduced from seven to five. Pursuant to CLG requirements, a
minimum of five members is required.
It is recommended that the qualifications be amended to be consistent with the qualifications
required of CLG’s. The current HPC meets the qualification requirements for CLG’s, however
due to the current vacancy, the HPC is lacking one of two professional members who has
experience in the field of construction and structural rehabilitation as required by City Code.
CLG’s are not required to have commissioners with only this profession. CLG’s have an
expanded profession list and are required to have a minimum of two commissioners with
disciplines of architecture, history, architectural history, planning, archeology or other historic
preservation related disciplines such as urban planning, American studies, American
civilization, cultural geography or cultural anthropology, to the extent that such professionals
are available in the community. CLG’s are also required to have all of their commissioners to
have a demonstrated interest in, competence or knowledge in historic preservation, not just a
certain number of members as is in the City Code. Therefore, it is recommended that the
qualification requirements be amended to be consistent with what is required of CLG’s and
that the candidate nominated by the Saratoga Historical Foundation be permitted to qualify as
one of the professional members.
It is also recommended that the allowance for applying to be on the HPC by residents who do
not live within Saratoga city limits, but have a zip code of 95070, be deleted from the Code.
Persons who have a place of business within Saratoga city limits who wish to apply to be on
the Commission is recommended to be retained in the ordinance. This would modify the
eligibility requirement so that someone would have to either reside or work in the City of
Saratoga in order to serve on the HPC.
The draft Ordinance is included as Attachment 1. Text added to existing provisions is shown
in bold double-underlined text (example) and text to be deleted is shown in strikethrough
(example).
The HPC considered this matter on August 14, 2018. The HPC recommended that the
professional qualifications be expanded to retain architects and contractors. The HPC also
recommended that candidates who have a place of business in Saratoga have a physical place of
business, not an online service. These recommendations have been included in the draft
ordinance. The HPC discussed the reduction of members and there were mixed comments
regarding the matter. The majority of the HPC preferred to have a seven member commission
due to their workload and that more members allowed a broader discussion on issues they were
considering. However, the lack of applicants and the potential of not having a quorum for
meetings could pose a problem and the commission understands the need for change.
As required of CLG’s, the proposed amendments have been submitted to OHP for review and
comment. At the writing of this report, no comments have been received.

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE:September 19, 2018
DEPARTMENT:Community Development Department
PREPARED BY:Debbie Pedro, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Review of Dangerous Dog Regulations
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Review the dangerous dog regulations in Article 7-20 (Animals)of the Saratoga City Code and
direct staff to amend the ordinance as necessary.
BACKGROUND:
Animal control regulations, including requirements for potentially dangerous and dangerous dogs,
are contained in Article 7-20 of the Saratoga City Code (Attachment B).The City Council last
updated the dangerous dog regulations in November 2014.
At the August 1, 2018 City Council meeting, Donna Poppenhagen submitted a letter to the Council
requesting changes to the City’s dangerous dog regulations (Attachment A).Council Member Lo
with the support of Council Member Kumar,requested a review of the City’s dangerous dog
regulations at the same City Council meeting. Ms. Poppenhagen’s suggestions are summarized
below:
1.Posting of dangerous dog signs that are visible from the street or sidewalk at all entrances
to the property including the garage doors.
2.Requirement for behavior modification to ensure that the dogs are no longer a threat to the
community before being released from Animal Control.
3.More frequent home inspections to verify that the owners are in compliance with the City’s
dangerous dog maintenance requirements.
4.Requirement that a dangerous dog must be enclosed in a secure location with adequate
room to run and exercise.
The City contracts with San Jose Animal Care and Services (SJACS)for animal control services.
Staff, in consultation with SJACS, reviewed Ms. Poppenhagen’s suggestions and recommends the
72
2 | P a g e
following modifications to Article 7-20 of the City Code to help strengthen the dangerous dog
regulations:
1. Neighbor Notification - After a dangerous dog determination has been made by the Animal
Control Officer, a one-time notification shall be made to neighbors residing or owning
property within five hundred feet of the boundaries of the property at which a dangerous
dog is located.
2. Inspection Requirement - Instead of annual home inspections, inspections shall be
conducted by SJACS once every six months to determine compliance with the
requirements for dangerous dog maintenance.
3. Registration and Tagging – Once a dangerous dog determination has been made by the
Animal Control Officer, the owner shall register such dog with the SJACS and SJACSshall
issue a metal tag identifying the dangerous dog. Each dog shall wear the metal tag issued
for it at all times.
4. Behavior Modification – Require the successful completion of obedience training or other
training or treatment by an animal behaviorist or trainer that is pre-approved by SJACS
within a reasonable timeframe.
Staff invites the City Council to provide feedback on these recommendations. Should the Council
wish to proceed with amending the dangerous dog regulations in Article 7-20 of the City Code,
staff should be directed to draft the ordinance amendments for Council review at a future meeting.

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE:September 19, 2018
DEPARTMENT:City Attorney
PREPARED BY:Richard Taylor, City Attorney
SUBJECT:Preview of Annual Code Update for 2018
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Review the proposed cleanup amendments to the City Code and direct staff to prepare an ordinance
implementing the amendments for consideration by the City Council.
DISCUSSION:
Each year the City adopts a number of cleanup amendments to the City Code to clarify
ambiguities, comply with state laws, and conform to new best practices that have changed since
the Code was adopted. The attached table lists the Code sections that staff recommends be
updated. If the Council approves the list staff will prepare the ordinance amendments and will
consult with the Planning Commission with respect to the changes affecting the Zoning Code.
The Council may direct that items be removed from the list and may propose that additional
items be added.

Proposed Code Amendments for 2018 Annual Code Update
Topic/Code Sections Issue Changes
Chapter 2 - Administration
Administrative Appeals
(Section 2-05.030)
The City Code provides a general
right of appeal to the City Council
for non-ministerial decisions of
City officials. The City’s proposed
California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) Guidelines specify the
types of CEQA decisions that are
subject to appeal. The Code should
reflect this Council policy.
Amend the City Code to
provide that appeals related to
CEQA administration are
limited to those allowed by
the City’s CEQA Guidelines.
Council Meeting Dates
(Section 2-10.10)
The City Code provides that the
Council will meet on the 1st and 3d
Wednesday of each month. It is
impractical to meet on the first
Wednesday of January because the
holidays interfere with preparation
and posting of agendas and staff
reports. The City Council for many
years has voted to cancel the first
meeting in January.
Amend the City Code to
specify that there is no
Council meeting on the first
Wednesday in January.
Chapter 7 – Health and Sanitation
Weed Abatement
(Article 7-15)
At its meeting of March 15, 2017
the City Council approved various
improvements to the City’s weed
abatement program. Staff has
implemented a number of those
improvements administratively and
based on experience with those
improvements has identified minor
Code changes that will further
streamline program administration
and public understanding of the
process and ensure that the Code
reflects the new procedures.
Amend the City Code to
reflect the new procedures for
the Weed Abatement
Program.
Chapter 10 – Streets and Sidewalks
Encroachments on City
Property (Articles 10-15
and 10-20)
The City Code provisions
concerning encroachments on City
property (e.g., utility lines,
retaining walls, driveways, etc.)
have not been updated in many
years and do not reflect current City
practices and best practices with
respect to protecting public
Amend the City Code to
simplify and update the
requirements for
encroachment permits.

infrastructure. In addition, the
Code includes many detailed
engineering specifications that are
best determined on a case-by-case
basis.
Chapter 15 – Zoning Code
Fences (Section 15-06.21)The definition of “Fence” contains
a typographical error. The first
word of the last sentence is not
capitalized.
Amend the code to fix the
error.
AP/OS: Agricultural
Preserve Overlay District
(Article 15-15)
In 2016 the City Council adopted
updated procedures for processing
Williamson Act applications
including streamlined procedures
for designating lands in the
“Agricultural” and “Hillside
Residential” zoning districts as
Agricultural Preserves. Because of
this new process, the AP/OS
Overlay is no longer needed.
Amend the City Code to
repeal the AP/OS overlay
district and confirm that all
lands formerly included in the
district are designated as
Agricultural Preserves.
Definition of Floor Area
(Section 15-06.280)
The floor area definition includes
“basements” as a type of space that
could be counted as floor area.
However, the basement definition
in Section 15-06.090 states below
grade spaces which qualify as a
basement are not to be included in
the calculation of floor area.
Delete the word “basements”
from Section 15-06.280 as the
type of space which could be
considered as floor area.
Winery Definition (Article
15-06)
“Wineries” are a conditional use in
the Hillside Residential Zoning
District. The City Code does not
include a definition for a winery.
Amend Article 15-06 to add a
definition for a Winery.
Conditional Uses in the R-
1 Single-Family
Residential District
(Section 15-12.030)
Existing code provisions include a
list of conditional uses that may be
allowed in the R-1 district upon the
granting of use permit pursuant to
Article 15-55 or Article 15-56.
Regulations pertaining to
Accessory Dwelling Units are
contained in Article 15-56 which
are not considered a conditional use
and there is no need to reference
them.
Delete the reference to Article
15-56.
125
Fence Height Restrictions
(Section 15-29.010)
The Planning Commission can
approve a solid fence taller than six
feet through an exception process
listed in Section 15-29.090. The
City Code incorrectly references
15-29.080 (Exemption for
Agricultural Uses) as the location
of the exception process.
Amend the City Code to
include the correct reference.
Swimming Pool Fences
(Section 15-29.010)
The existing fence regulations
pertaining to swimming pools
reference an outdated code section.
Section 16-75.010 pertaining to
swimming pool fencing was
repealed by Ord. No. 310 adopted
in Dec. 4, 2013. Swimming pool
fence regulations are contained in
the California Building Code.
Delete the reference to
Section 16-75.010 and replace
it with a reference to the
California Building Code
Native Tree Definitions
(15-50.020(p))
The list of native trees includes tree
names that are incorrectly
capitalized or the botanical names
are spelled incorrectly.
Amend the City Code to
correct the misspellings.

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE:September 19, 2018
DEPARTMENT:City Manager’s Office
PREPARED BY:Crystal Bothelio, Deputy City Manager
SUBJECT:Neighborhood Watch Program and Grant
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Receive report and provide direction to staff regarding the Neighborhood Watch Program and
Grant, if desired.
BACKGROUND:
At the August 15, 2018 City Council Meeting, the City Council requested discussion at a future
meeting on the Neighborhood Watch Program, including resident privacy, transparency of the
program, and accountability for the Neighborhood Watch Grant.
There are currently 71 Neighborhood Watch groups located in the City of Saratoga. As part of
the registration process, groups must identify and provide contact information for a
Neighborhood Watch lead. The City regularly shares information with Neighborhood Watch
leads to keep them abreast of news, tips, and trends.
While the City does not have a formal policy for the treatment of Neighborhood Watch lead
contact information, the City does not release Neighborhood Watch lead contact information
without receiving consent to do so.This includes home address, phone number, and email
address. To date the only requests for Neighborhood Watch Lead contact information have come
from residents seeking information about the Neighborhood Watch group that they live in or
from nearby Neighborhood Watch Leads interested in connecting. Similarly, neighboring cities
with active Neighborhood Watch Programs shared that they only release contact information
with consent.
Like most cities in the area with active Neighborhood Watch Programs, Neighborhood Watch
groups are fairly autonomous once registered. Saratoga Neighborhood Watch groups are required
to hold one gathering per calendar year to remain registered. Beyond this requirement, the City
has not established any rules for how groups organize themselves, communicate, share
information, collect or maintain resident information, or conduct events. The City does provide
recommendations in the Neighborhood Watch Guide, which was developed with the guidance of
the Public Safety Task Force. The guide is included in the Attachments. 127
The Neighborhood Watch Grant program was created and approved by the City Council in 2016
to help new groups get started and existing groups stay active. Registered groups may apply for
an annual grant of up to $300. The grant may be used for any purpose, so long as it is used in
support of Neighborhood Watch. In the past, groups have reported using the grant for things such
as neighborhood events, Neighborhood Watch flyers, and security cameras. Grants are issued on
a first-come, first-served basis until funding runs out. Recipients are not required to submit
receipts and the grant is not issued as a reimbursement of money spent. However, they are asked
to submit a report to the City explaining how the grant was used.
In Fiscal Year 2016/17, 29 grants amounting to $8,700 were issued. In Fiscal Year 2017/18, 33
grants amounting to $9,800 were issued. For the current Fiscal Year, 20 grants and $6,000 in
grant funds have been issued.
Saratoga is one of the few cities in the area to offer grants specifically for Neighborhood Watch
groups. However, there are cities that offer funding that can be used to support efforts of
Neighborhood Watch organizers. For example, Redwood City offers one-time $300 Community
Improvement Grants that can be used to jump-start neighborhood activities or projects. The event
is only intended to give neighbors the momentum needed to start the activities or projects. The
grant may not be used for annual activities or projects. The grant is issued on a reimbursement
basis and requires submittal of receipts. The City of Cupertino offers a very similar grant for
neighborhoods that are part of its Block Leader Program. The City of Sunnyvale also offers
grants up to $1,000 per neighborhood group or association for events or project that increase
neighborhood communication, improve physical conditions of the neighborhood, or enhance
pride or identity.
Outside of these grant programs, several communities support Neighborhood Watch through a
variety of resources. Like Saratoga, most cities with active Neighborhood Watch Programs do
offer to send officers to Neighborhood Watch meetings to provide residents with information
about Neighborhood Watch, crime prevention tips, and current trends. The City of Cupertino will
send Recreation staff to block parties to lead games and activities, if staff is available. Other
cities, like the City of Milpitas, offers free park rentals or conference room reservations for
Neighborhood Watch groups. Additionally, many cities also offer free Neighborhood Watch
window decals and installation of Neighborhood Watch signage. However, most cities only offer
1 to 2 free signs per neighborhood. Any additional signs must be purchased by the
Neighborhood.
Temple City has taken a very different approach to administration of its Neighborhood Watch
Program. Rather than having residents self-organize, as they do in Saratoga, Temple City has
divided the City into 10 Neighborhood Watch areas and hosts one meeting per area every year to
provide residents with updated crime prevention, trends, and emergency preparedness
information. The area meetings are held at neutral locations, such as schools, within each area.
There are approximately 700 to 1,500 households in each area and meetings are usually attended
by 60 to 80 people.

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE:September 19, 2018
DEPARTMENT:City Manager’s Office
PREPARED BY:Crystal Bothelio, Deputy City Manager
SUBJECT:Resolution in Opposition to Proposition 6
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Consider adoption of resolution in opposition to Proposition 6.
BACKGROUND:
Proposition 6 will be considered by California voters as part of the November 2018 election. If
approved, the Proposition will repeal gas and diesel tax increases and vehicle fees adopted by the
State in 2017 through Senate Bill 1 and require voter approval for future fuel tax and vehicle fee
increases. However, if voters oppose Proposition 6, the 2017 fuel tax and vehicle fees will
remain and the State legislature will continue to have the authority to enact, increase, or extend
fuel taxes and/or vehicle fees through a two-thirds vote in each chamber.
The League of California Cities has advised that member cities take positions in opposition to
Proposition 6. The League of California Cities is an association of cities throughout California
that share knowledge and work collaboratively on various policies issues that impact cities.
Periodically, the League of California Cities will provide the elected officials of member cities
with recommended positions on public policy matters.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SARATOGA
EXPRESSING OPPOSITION TO PROPOSITION 6
WHEREAS, cities and counties own and operate more than 81% of streets and roads in
California; and
WHEREAS, residents of California are dependent upon roadways and expect to have
access to a safe, reliable transportation network to drive to work, bike to school, or ride the bus;
and
WHEREAS, the 2016 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment,
which provides critical analysis and information on the local transportation network’s conditions
and funding needs, indicates that the condition of local transportation network is deteriorating at
an increasing rate; and
WHEREAS, California has more than 1,600 bridges and overpasses that are structurally
deficient and unsafe and 89% of counties have roads that are in “poor” or “at-risk” condition;
and
WHEREAS, according to the National Highway Traffic Association, there were more
than 3,600 fatalities on California roads in 2016, with poor road conditions as a major factor in
vehicle collisions and accidents; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 6 would eliminate more than $52 billion over the next 10 years
in existing transportation funding, including the $15 billion in direct apportionments, and $11
billion in available competitive grant funding, to cities and counties statewide; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 6 would stop funding for more than 6,500 transportation
improvement projects currently underway or planned in communities across California; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 6 would jeopardize public safety by eliminating thousands of
projects to fix unsafe bridges and overpasses, repair crumbling and hazardous roads, and enhance
pedestrian safety; and
