– addressed the Council regarding user fees imposed on residents when experiencing emergency repairs due to natural causes – such as mud slides from heavy rains. He suggested the City
consider lowering those fees. Cheriel Jensen – noted that the 20 cent cost for duplicating requested records was a little high, and since we are all trying to save paper, those documents
should be provided electronically – for free, when possible. In addition, she feels that the 16
Planning Commission Appeal fee is too high, the Continuance fee is too low, and the tree removal permit fee is too high, especially when it involves a dead tree. She stated there are
dead trees all over in the community; this is a fire hazard, and most people won’t pay the high permit fee to remove a dead tree. Mayor Waltonsmith closed the public hearing. Councilmember
King addressed Mr. Keenan’s concern regarding user fees for emergency repairs and stated she thought the fee charged was only for actual cost. City Manager Dave Anderson asked Mary Furey
if the 25% surcharge was for administrative overhead costs. Mary Furey stated it was and it helps pay the costs for the City to contract with engineers, geologists, etc. City Attorney
Richard Taylor noted the City is only allowed to charge for the cost of providing a service. He stated there are no fees for which the City is making money and in many cases the cost
of the fee is actually less than the cost for city staff to perform those services. There was continued discussion regarding the process of establishing the user fee schedule for Fiscal
Year 2008/09. Council felt that after researching the user fees established by neighboring cities, the proposed user fees for the City of Saratoga are in line with other cities. PAGE/KING

Development Act (TDA) Article 3 Application for the Saratoga Avenue Walkway Project and Highway 9 Bicycle Safety Improvements-Phase 3 Design RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution supporting
the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s Transportation Development Act Article 3 Pedestrian/Bicycle Grant Application. REPORT SUMMARY: Saratoga Avenue Walkway Project: In March
2008, Public Works staff applied for a Metropolitan Transportation Commission grant titled Transportation Development Act Article 3 Pedestrian/Bicycle Grant Application (TDA Article
3 Grant) for the Saratoga Avenue Walkway Project. Under the TDA Article 3 Grant, “Guaranteed” funds are made available each year for bicycle/pedestrian projects. On January 21, 1998,
a Resolution was passed by City Council in support of the Saratoga Avenue Walkway Project that that utilized the TDA allocations. This project has been ongoing since 1992, and has created
new walkways along Saratoga Avenue from the City limits to Heritage Oak. The last phase on Saratoga Avenue from Heritage Oak to Park Place will be completed with a combination of last
two year’s TDA funding and this year’s allocation. This year’s Guaranteed Allocation for the City of Saratoga is $19,947. These funds have also funded Pedestrian Safety Improvements
at the Crestbrook Dr. and Herriman Ave intersections. Highway 9 Bicycle Safety Improvements-Phase 3 Design: In May 2008, Publics Works staff applied for a California Transportation Commission
Proposition 116 grant to improve the intersection of Highway 9 and Austin Way titled Highway 9 Bicycle Safety Improvement-Phase 3. For the design phase of the Highway 9 Bicycle Safety
Improvements-Phase 3, Public Works staff applied for a second TDA Article 3 Grant. The Valley Transportation Authority has provided the City of Saratoga this TDA-Article 3 Grant opportunity
to help fund the design phase of this project. This allocation amount for this project is $20,000. Page 1 of 2 42
Page 2 of 2 Discussion Renewed authorization to submit the attached applications needs to be granted by the City Council. This will be accomplished by adopting the attached Resolution.
FISCAL IMPACTS: No local match is required for TDA Article 3 Grants CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: The project would not be approved, and the TDA Guaranteed Allocations
of $49,974 would be reallocated to other cities in Santa Clara County. ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S): None in addition to the above. FOLLOW UP ACTION(S): Resolution will be forwarded to the
MTC. ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT: Nothing additional. ATTACHMENTS 1. Resolution authorizing the filing of an application with the Valley Transportation Authority for the

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: May 7, 2008 AGENDA ITEM: DEPARTMENT: Finance & Admin Services CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson PREPARED BY: Mary Furey DIRECTOR: Mary Furey SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2008/09 Proposed
Operating & Capital Budget Public Hearing RECOMMENDED ACTION Conduct a public hearing on the proposed FY 2008/09 Operating & Capital Budget, and provide direction to staff for budget
adoption on June 4, 2008. REPORT SUMMARY The FY 2008/09 Proposed Operating & Capital Budget is presented to Council for review and consideration. The budget presented to Council is balanced
and takes into account the economic downturn, but defers any anticipated affect upon the City from the State budget crisis until it is adopted. A mid-year budget adjustment will be presented
at that time if necessary. The City Manager’s transmittal letter in the proposed budget provides an executive summary of planned initiatives as reflected in the operating budget, and
a summary of the General Fund’s financial overview. Additional financial overviews are provided in the proposed Operating & Capital Budget’s Financial Summaries section. Summary budget
information will be reviewed in the Public Hearing presentation. Budget Structure The Proposed FY 2008/09 Operating & Capital Budget continues the structural changes enacted with the
FY 2007/08 budget. As the City’s fund structure was not in conformance with accounting or budgeting standards, and was due to be revised with the planned implementation of the City’s
new financial system, the fund structure was realigned and several programs and funds were either reclassified, eliminated, or opened effective with the FY 2007/08 budget. Closed programs
appear in the budget document as unfunded, and new programs and funds are budgeted were effective as of the FY 2007/08 budget. Unfunded (closed) programs will remain in the budget document
for financial reference of prior year activity for the next several years. Within the General Fund, numerous revenue and expenditure accounts were shifted between programs to improve
historical reference for presentation purposes and future budgeting placement. The realignment of operational support services and pro-rated asset cost allocations from the General Fund
into Internal Service Funds was another structural change effective with the FY 2007/08 budget. Isolating the internal support services and asset replacement costs provides a funding
mechanism which captures these allocations as part of a department’s regular, ongoing budget, which in turn provides a more complete and accurate cost of services for use in fee recovery
assessments. In essence, the internal service charge backs increase both operating revenues and expenditures overall as the charges to the General Fund departments become revenues to
the Internal Service Funds. 50
Operating Budget modifications also include relocating capital expenditures to the Capital Improvement Plan budget, thereby limiting Operating Budget expenditures to ongoing services
and core operations. This change was reflected in the realignment of the Gas Tax revenues and related capital project expenses into the Capital Budget. In turn, the Streets Program staffing
costs were realigned into the General Fund budget as the majority of Street and Storm Drain program services are ongoing operations and maintenance, whereas capital improvement project
work, such as street resurfacing, is completed by contractors. As a result, these structural changes caused a discontinuity between current year General Fund revenues and expenditures
and prior year information. To fill this gap, the General Fund Budget under the former structure, with 10 years of historical information, is presented in the following schedule: General
Fund 10 Year History -2,000,000 4,000,000 6,000,000 8,000,000 10,000,000 12,000,000 14,000,000 16,000,000 18,000,0001999/00 2000/012001/02 1 2002/03 2003/04 2004/05 2005/06 2006/07 2007/08

are used for comparison to prior year information only, and are not included in the FY 2008/09 Operating and Capital Budget document as all other financial information is presented under
the current structure. Budget Policies 1) During the Mid-Year Council Retreat on February 1, 2008, Council established a Fund Balance policy which allocated year-end undesignated funds
as follows: • $500,000 to Undesignated Fund Balance • One-half of the remaining fund balance amount to Designated for Capital Projects • One-half of the remaining fund balance amount
to Designated for Operational Efficiencies The amount of Undesignated Fund Balance at the time was expected to be approximately $1.7 million for FY 2007/08 year end. With $500,000 remaining
in Undesignated Fund Balance, the estimated amounts to be designated for capital projects and operational efficiencies was $600,000 each. Estimated Fund Balance at June 30, 2008 is now
expected to be $1.55 million. As Council and staff anticipated the CIP to be developed under the original estimate of $600,000, staff would like direction as to whether Council prefers
to continue with the $600,000 designations for both capital projects and operational efficiencies, and allocate the balance (expected to be approximately $350,000) to the Undesignated
Fund Balance, or to apply the $500,000 to Undesignated Fund Balance and apply one-half (approximately $525,000) to each of the two other designations. 2) After the passage of AB117 in
FY 2006/2006/07 which provided the City with additional property tax revenue funding, Council gave direction for budget development to annually transfer $300,000 for pavement management
and $100,000 for facility improvement projects to the City’s Capital Improvement Budget, to be effective as of the FY 2007/08 budget. With the implementation of the Road Impact Fee,
52
and the shifting of the Gas Tax Revenue to the pavement management project in the CIP, there is expected to be slightly more than $1,000,000 available for pavement management each year.
Staff would like direction as to Council’s preference on establishing these two revenues (Gas Tax and Road Impact Fees) as dedicated funding sources for pavement management projects.
3) In addition, staff would like direction as to whether the $300,000 in TEA revenues that were transferred to pavement management projects from the General Fund can now be allocated
to the General Fund. State Budget Crisis -Regarding the State budget crisis, staff has not attempted to speculate on the final disposition of the State budget and its impact on our budget.
As you know, Saratoga has a practice of responding quickly after passage of the State budget to rebalance the City budget. We have several layers of reserves for short-term impacts and
will be ready to propose structural changes as necessary for permanent changes. Once the State budget impacts are revealed, the Council could revisit budget appropriations and make adjustments
as needed. FY 2008/09 Budget Focus -The Proposed Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2008/09 represents a continued focus on core city services, consistent with prior year operations. There
are no significant changes in services levels or operations, however the elimination of one Engineer position and the temporary filling of a vacant IT Technician position with a temporary
IT Intern for FY 2008/09 reflects a recognition of a slowing economy and an attempt to control costs. Rising costs for labor and operating expenditures continues to be offset through
increasing property tax revenues and service fees and by improving the way we do business, allowing the City to maintain the community’s high quality of life. The Proposed Capital Budget
portion of this document includes the current estimated status of adopted projects at FY 2007/08 year end, and additional funding to be received for these projects in FY 2008/09. Proposed
projects and additional funding will be added to the Capital Budget as Council directs. REPORT DISCUSSION Staff will present an overview of the Proposed FY 2008/09 Operating & Capital
Budget as part of the Public Hearing. Any changes to the proposed budget as directed by Council and/or identified by staff as a clean-up item will be included for Council consideration
in the resolution adopting the budget at the following Council meeting to be held June 4, 2008. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION The City would postpone adopting an Operating
and Capital Budget for FY 2008/09. ALTERNATIVE ACTION N/A FOLLOW UP ACTION Proposed budget amended with Council direction to be brought back to Council on June 4, 2008. ADVERTISING,

CITY OF SARATOGA CI T Y HA L L 13777 FRUITVALE AVENUE SARATOGA, CALIFORNIA 95070 (408) 868-1200 June 4, 2008 Honorable Mayor and Council members: The City began the 2006/07 fiscal year
with a “measure of cautious optimism”, after the Silicon Valley appeared to be experiencing a modest recovery following successive years of economic downturn – the aftermath of the dot.com
bust. As fiscal year 2007/08 approached, the City’s financial pictured continued to move in an encouraging direction. In particular, the City’s revenue picture brightened with further
modest improvements in the economy, the State refraining from local government takeaways and the bonus of new Tax Equity Allocation (TEA) receipts. Unfortunately, the bright economic
picture has somewhat dimmed, as several years of a hot real estate market nation-wide came to a halt, fueled by unsustainable mortgage financing. In January 2008, as mid-year approached,
the City initiated a more fiscally conservative approach and began to look for cost efficiencies. Staffing is one area over which the City has considerable control; therefore, a decision
was made to eliminate one position, and fill another position at a lower level. Historically, Saratoga’s real estate holds its value, and the City’s revenues – primarily derived from
property taxes – appear to be stable. However, the broader economic picture remains pessimistic, with State and County budgets deeply in the red. Proposition 1A placed restrictions on
how and when the State could take local government revenues to help balance the State budget. Recently, various State entities have issued opinions about local revenue streams outside
of Proposition 1A restrictions. Two of these are: ?? Proposition 172 funds, enacted in 1993 as partial mitigation for local property tax transfers (Saratoga’s share is $85,000); and
?? Vehicle License Fees (approximately $186,000 for Saratoga’s share). The State Legislative Analyst’s Office, the Senate Budget Committee and the Governor’s Office are exploring various
options for redirecting back to the State funds customarily allocated to municipalities. These efforts currently appear to be directed toward the Citizens Option for Public Safety (COPS/SLESF)
funding, customarily used by municipalities to supplement law enforcement-related costs (Saratoga’s allocation is $100,000). 62
This untimely news from the State, together with current economic conditions, further reinforces the City’s long-term focus on providing vital basic services, at current staffing levels.
BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS Revenue Stabilization: In an effort to help stabilize City revenues, beginning with fiscal year 2008/09, the City Council has authorized a Heavy Vehicle Road Impact
fee and a fee to support Advanced Planning. ?? Heavy Vehicle Road Impact Fee: This fee is geared toward mitigating the impacts of heavy construction vehicles on City road conditions
and providing a funding source for related road maintenance. The fee was approved by the City Council during the annual update of the City’s fee schedule. ?? Revised Advanced Planning
Fee: In 2005 the City Council approved a General Plan Maintenance Fee to fund required updates of the General Plan Elements. In addition to General Plan Element updates, there is a need
to establish a regular process for updating the zoning ordinances in the Municipal Code. Together, the General Plan and Zoning ordinance updates fall under the category
“Advanced Planning”. The revised Advanced Planning fee will provide revenues to fund these updates, relieving the burden formerly placed on the General Fund. Operational Efficiencies:
The City also plans to undertake several operational efficiency projects that will deliver returns now and into the future: ?? Document Imaging: The City has already initiated several
“paperless” processes that save time, resources and provide more efficient service to the public. This project would convert paper documents in the Community Development Department to
electronic form, protecting vital historic development information for the public record, reducing the need for photocopying and storage, and allowing staff to more efficiently search
documents for the public and project review. ?? City Website Upgrade: Upgrading the City’s website will provide better customer service and save staff time by supplying readily available,
“self service” information, available at any time to the public, as well as a much more user-friendly interface. ?? Financial and Human Resources Software Implementation: The Finance
& Administrative Services Department is taking the lead on implementation of a new financial and human resources software system that will provide a much-needed upgrade to the current
system. The upgrade will improve financial and human resource processing, tracking, and reporting functions, allowing for more comprehensive and timely information. A – 2 63
Capital Improvement Program (CIP): There are three notable CIP projects that will be undertaken in fiscal year 2008/09: ?? Joe’s Trail at Saratoga de Anza --The planned trail is to be
a 12 foot wide dual use pedestrian and bicycle trail constructed of decomposed granite bordered by redwood headers. The project also includes two bridges required in order to span Saratoga
and Rodeo Creeks. Trail construction is slated to commence in fall 2008. ?? Kevin Moran Park – Planned improvements include replacing 4 acres of remnant orchard trees on the north and
south ends of the park with developed park uses and the construction of new park facilities, including a tennis court, half basketball court, two bocce courts, new grass areas, picnic
areas, a mediation garden, a screened area for storage of sports equipment, associated park facilities, and a restroom. Park construction is scheduled for fall 2008. ?? North Campus
– Fellowship Hall Improvements: This project continues the work at North Campus to create two functional and fully accessible buildings for multi-purpose public use. The Fellowship Hall
project includes the addition of two fully disabled-accessible restrooms, an updated kitchen, together with other aesthetic and acoustic improvements. Community Development: In 2008/09,
the Community Development Department will be undertaking a significant update to the Housing Element of the General Plan and will also be updating up to three ordinances. California
state law requires cities to update their General Plan Housing Elements every five years. Saratoga’s current update must be adopted by the City Council prior to June 30, 2009. The Housing
Element: 1) Quantifies existing and projected housing needs; 2) Establishes goals, policies, objectives and programs for preserving, improving and developing housing to meet the needs
of all economic sectors; and 3) Identifies how the City will provide its “fair share” of regional housing. Currently, three ordinance updates are planned for 2008/09 pertaining to signs,
fences and nonconforming uses. Once updated, these ordinances are incorporated into the City’s Municipal Code. The City Council may choose to review the priority of these ordinances
and may direct the Department to undertake updates to other sections of the Municipal Code. Greening Efforts: In keeping with state-wide efforts, the City is continuing efforts on two
fronts to help to reduce production of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) and have a positive impact on global warming. A – 3 ?? Baseline GHG Inventory: The City will be undertaking a study to inventory
baseline greenhouse gas emissions resulting from City operations. Once the inventory has been completed, the City will identify specific measures it intends to implement in order to
reduce GHG emissions. 64
?? Green-point Rated and Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Guidelines: The City will continue an effort initiated in FY 2007/08 to educate the public
about Green Building methods by requiring all building permit applicants to complete a Green-point Rated (residential construction) or LEED (commercial construction) green building checklist.
GENERAL FUND – OVERVIEW Revenues: Tax Revenues -The City’s Property Taxes growth continues to sustain the majority of the General Fund’s operational increases each fiscal year; however
with the softening housing market; the growth rate is expected to decrease over the next several years. Fiscal Year 2008/09 property tax revenues were projected at a moderately conservative
growth rate, with a slightly lower pace just under 4% overall. The impacts of slowing sales and lowering housing prices are not expected to become noticeable until the following fiscal
year. Other tax receipts, including Sales Tax Revenues, Transient Occupancy Tax, Franchise Fees, and Business License Taxes are all expected to remain relatively flat as there is very
little room for growth under the City’s business structure. Sales Tax revenue may struggle some in this softened economy; however the City’s business makeup is heavily commodity based
and diverse enough to offset expected slow sales in the more tenuous industries. Services, Fees & Permits -The City also continues to assess fee-based services provided to the community
to ensure fees are comparable to the costs of providing these services. While there is often a sticker shock involved in the cost of development and building related services, the City
operates on the basis that the community should not bear the cost burden for individual homeowners or entire businesses wishing to build. As a result, the fee structure reflects a policy
of full cost recovery for these activities. Expenditures: General Fund operational expenditures were held constant except for cost increases pursuant to negotiated Memoranda of Understanding,
external fee increases for mandatory services, and operational increases primarily related to service and maintenance enhancements for new parks and facilities. Overall, the General
Fund Expenditures increased only 4.4%. Internal Service Charges were also impacted by increasing operational expenditures, which in turn adds to departmental expenses. Additional maintenance
costs for the North Campus, higher water, electric and fuel bills, and enhanced technology systems, services, and equipment all contribute to the rising bottom line of the Internal Services
Funds. A – 4 65
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, as in past years, the City is taking a measured and prudent approach by modestly reducing staffing costs, curtailing new spending, working to stabilize revenues,
and undertaking operational efficiencies to better use existing resources. Given the uncertainty of the economy, pending news from the State about their intentions to redirect monies
from municipalities, and continuing problems in the housing market, the City continues its focus on the cost-effective provision of high quality, essential services to the residents
of Saratoga. Even with the current economic situation, staff is presenting the Council with a balanced budget for fiscal year 2008/09. I would like to thank all of the departments for
their participation in preparation of this document and, in particular Mary Furey, Finance & Administrative Services Director. Respectfully Submitted, Dave Anderson City Manager A –

Total Fund Balance Reserves Fund Balance Reserves reflects the cumulative effect effect of revenues and other financing sources over expenditures and other financing uses. Reserved Fund
Balance reflect legal obligations, whereas Unreserved Fund Balance includes either 'Designated Reserves' for funding held for a specific purpose by Council direction and/or approval
for a specfied use, and 'Undesignated Fund Balance reseves. 'Undesignated Fund Balance' is estimated year-end fund balance not previously identified for a specific purpose, and is therefore
available to buffer unplanned operational expenditures during the fiscal year. As year-end fund balance reflects an estimate, sound finanical practices suggest retaining a sufficient
amount of undesignated fund balance to offset unexpected revenue shortfalls. The General Fund Operating Reserve was established July 1, 1999 at $2,000,000 to provide a cash funding buffer
for the General Fund, and is only to be used in the case of fiscal emergency. The reserve is adjusted at the end of each fiscal year by the amount of interest income earned on the balance
in the reserve. The FY 2007/08 revenue includes this interest earning at an estimated 5% interest earning rate. The Economic Uncertainty Reserve was established at $1,500,000 to be used
in the case of fiscal uncertainty. This reserve provides relief in the case of unanticipated revenue shortfalls when fund balance would not be sufficient to cover the deficit. The use
f this reserve would require approval from the City Council. This reserve is not adjusted for interest earnings. Prior Year Carryforward Reserves reflects an estimate of funding to be
set-aside for encumbered obligations that are to be paid for in the following fiscal year. The remaining reserves reflect current year funding adjustments. The Development and Environmental
Services reserves reflects funding for future years operating services. These balances were established as reserves at FY 2006/07 year end, to be used as a funding source for their specific
designated purpose. B -16 83

The Operations Reserve grows by the annual investment rate earned by the City each year, and ensures cash availability for operations. The Economic Uncertainty reserve is stable at $1.5
million, and reflects a source for emergency funding. The Environmental and Gas Tax Special Revenue Funds were closed effective with the FY 2007/08 budget. The Gas Gas Tax Fund activity
was reallocated to the Capital Improvement Plan, and the Environmental Fund activities were reallocated to the General Fund as the special franchise fee were eliminated in FY 2006/07.
The Development Special Revenue Funds were closed in prior years. Transactions are to be reclassed to development activities in the General Fund in FY 2007/08, and fund balances are
to be cleared out to the GF Development Reserve. Debt Service Funds reflectsCity debt. The City issued General Obligation Bonds in 2001, for the library expansion project. The Fund reflects
the property tax assessment receipts and the debt principal and interest payments made during the fiscal year. Fund Balance reflects the City's reserve for this debt issuance. 85

funds for projects as approved in the fiscal year, however not all funding will become available in the fiscal year. In addition, estimated expenditures is temporarily shown as appropriated
expenditures in FY 2007/08, and will be reduced to actuals at year-end.. The City maintains Internal Service Funds to provide full operational costing for services. Three of the funds
are equipment replacement sinking funds which charge back to the departments the cost of the assets, to ensure the City is setting aside funding, and to charge an apporpriate annual
cost for the asset. Fund balance reflects the accumulated funding for asset replacement to date. The remaining funds provide for the cost of the services and'or insurance in a fair,
allocated manner. Over time, fund balances will build up to provide a funding reserve as needed. The City holds two trust funds in a fiduciary capacity: The Library Bond's Capital Maintenance
Project Reserve, and the KSAR Community Access Television Foundation Investment Funds. Both funds earn interest on their fund balance at the City's investment rates.The Leonard Road
Fund was closed with the FY 2006/07 Year End and any remaining fund balance will transfer to the General Fund. 86

COUNCIL & COMMISSIONS DEPARTMENT The Council & Commissions Department consists of the City Council and City Commissions programs, which represents the elected and appointed officials
of Saratoga. The City Council consists of elected members who act as the legislative body which represents the residents and community of the City of Saratoga. The City Council is comprised
of five Council Members who serve four year terms, with elections for either two or three of the seats every two years. The Mayor and Vice-Mayor are appointed for one year terms each
December by their fellow Council Members. City Commissions are advisory bodies whose members are appointed by the Council. These commissions are established to encourage residents to
become involved in their community and to broaden the City’s decision-making processes. City Committees are also included in this program and differ from Commissions in that these represent
a smaller advisory body with more narrowly defined duties. Active commissions and committees as of FY 2008/09 are as follows: • Finance Committee • Heritage Preservation Commission •
Library Commission • Parks & Recreation Commission • Planning Commission • Traffic Safety Commission • Youth Commission C -3 100

CITY COUNCIL The City Council is the legislative body that represents the residents and community of Saratoga. The City Council operates under a Council/Manager form of government that
combines the policy leadership of elected officials with the managerial expertise of an appointed City Manager. The City Council holds Council meetings on the first and third Wednesday
of the month that are open to the public, and actively seeks input to its decision-making from Saratoga residents. The Council sets city policy for implementation by staff, and makes
decisions on legislative and community matters. Additionally, the City Council holds meetings at least annually with all City Commissions and community organizations that are closely
affiliated with the City, including the Saratoga Chamber of Commerce, the Saratoga Area Senior Coordinating Council (SASCC), and the Hakone Foundation. The Council establishes Ad Hoc
subcommittees to work on issues or meet with groups on emergent issues. An example is the Council’s School Ad Hoc Subcommittee which meets annually with the school districts that serve
Saratoga. Council Members also serve as voting members on other governmental boards and Joint Power Authorities (JPAs) such as the West Valley Solid Waste Management Authority and the
West Valley Sanitation District. BUDGET OVERVIEW Revenues in the City Council Program are limited to City Council appeal fees, for which two or three on average trickle in each year.
Expenditures include $250 monthly stipends for each Council Member, funding for special events, meeting expenses, conferences, operational supplies, and a lobbying consultant service
that keeps the City abreast about legislative issues, and may advocate legislative positions on priority issues. Another $50,000 is budgeted for Council discretionary funds for unplanned
expenditures or events the Council may wish to support throughout the year. C -5 102

CITY COMMISSIONS City Commissions are designated bodies that provide specialized advice or other assistance to the City Council and staff. Commissioners apply for and are appointed by
the City Council to serve four-year terms. At least one City staff member is assigned to each commission to provide direction and support, and to ensure agenda preparation, posting,
minutes, and other meeting elements are fulfilled as required under the Brown Act. Currently, there are seven active commissions/committees to advise the Council and staff on commission-specific
issues. These include: Planning Commission –This seven member commission advises the City Council on land use matters such as the General Plan and specific plans, zoning, and subdivisions.
The commission plans for the future orderly physical development of the City, and informs and educates the public on current land use and urban planning issues. In many areas, the Planning
Commission also acts as a legislative body in making determinations within the framework of applicable State laws and City ordinances. The commission meets on the second and fourth Wednesday
of the month. Heritage Preservation Commission –A seven member commission which meets on the second Tuesday of the month to function as a liaison with the Council and Planning Commission
and City departments to implement the City’s Heritage Preservation Ordinance. The Commission’s scope includes establishing an official inventory of heritage resources and recommendations
for historic landmarks, heritage lanes, or historic districts to the Council. Library Commission – A five member commission which meets six times a year, and provides counsel and recommendations
on library policies, budgets, plans, and procedures to the City Council, City staff, the Santa Clara County Library staff, and the Saratoga Library Supervisor. The Library Commission
has no administrative authority over the Library’s operations, but does participate in the general planning of library operations and related programs and policies, including overseeing
the Library’s capital maintenance fund. Traffic Safety Commission – A five member commission which investigates, reviews, and analyzes traffic safety and related issues and makes recommendations
to the City Council. The Commission increases awareness of and attention to the public safety needs of the community by improving communications and involvement
among the community, City government, and public safety agencies regarding services, needs, and programs. This commission meets the second Thursday of every other month. C -9 Youth
Commission – This fourteen member Commission is comprised of middle and high school students appointed by the City Council for two year terms. Youth Commissioners serve as a liaison
between the teen community and the City Council to communicate youth issues to the City Council including planning, promoting, and participating in community service, fundraising, educational
and fun activities for Saratoga youth. 106
COUNCIL AND COMMISSIONS DEPARTMENT CITY COMMISSIONS Parks & Recreation Commission – a five member committee which meets six times a year, to advise the Council on: design, use, and development
of new parks and playground projects as they arise; and other such matters as may be requested by the Council. The Commission also advises and makes recommendations concerning the City’s
recreation and leisure activity programs. Finance Committee –A Standing Council Committee comprised of two Council members, to meet monthly or as needed, for review of the financial
aspects of staff reports and provide feedback to both staff and Council on financial matters. BUDGET OVERVIEW The Commission Program budget includes revenue and expenses for all the
commissions and committees. Revenues from the Commission budget are limited to Planning Commission appeal fees. These fees occur when an applicant or opponent of a development project
files an appeal of the Community Development Department’s decision, which brings it to the Planning Commission for review. As Planning Commissioners expend a great deal of time in providing
this community service, a token stipend of $150 per month for each of the seven commissioners is included in the annual budget expenditures. The remaining expenditures for this program
are limited to meeting costs and commission specific expenditures, such as $2,000 for historical plaques the Heritage Preservation Commission provides for historical landmarks. The expenses
associated with other City Commissions are typically the result of meeting materials and Commissioner training. The budget also includes funding for the City’s annual Commissioner Recognition
Dinner to honor the commissioner’s service to the community. C -10 City staffing costs from the various departments were removed from the Commission budget as the staff’s activities
are limited to support functions. During the FY 2007/08 budget, the Council approved an Analyst position that functions as a liaison between commissions, Council, and the City Manager’s
Office. While this position requires regular work with the City’s Council and Commissions, it also provides additional citywide functions and is consequently funded in the City Manager’s
Office. 107

CITY MANAGER’S DEPARTMENT The City Manager’s Department is comprised of the City Manager’s Office, the City Clerk, and the Human Resources (HR) Division. The City Manager’s Department
supports the Council’s legislative and policy interests, provides management, leadership, and direction for the City organization, supports commissions, and interacts with community
groups, fostering public awareness of municipal programs, services, and goals. The Department is directly responsible for legislative analysis, numerous contract negotiations, human
resources and labor negotiations, and maintaining community partnerships with the Chamber of Commerce, the Saratoga Area Senior Coordinating Council, the Hakone Foundation, and the community
access television station KSAR. The department maintains good working relationships with the administrators of other agencies and service districts in the city, including the Saratoga
and Santa Clara County Fire Districts and West Valley College. The department also provides oversight and coordinates with law enforcement and emergency preparedness agencies, and is
actively involved in technology advances in all city functions. BUDGET OVERVIEW Beginning with the FY 2007/08 budget, the City Manager’s Department was restructured to separate Public
Safety services from the organizational management functions of the City Manager’s Office. The City Manager’s Department continues to provide contract oversight and coordination of law
enforcement activities with other city functions. In addition, the citywide Risk Management and Workers Compensation functions were removed from the City Manager’s Department. The program
duties, staffing, and expenditures were moved into an Internal Service Fund structure to properly allocate them across the City’s programs. A portion of the City Manager’s staff time
has been re-aligned to these Internal Service Fund programs to account for the operational duties associated with these functions. C -13 110

to the City Manager’s Office, and accounting for .25 FTE of the City Clerk’s function in the Risk Management/Liability Internal Service Fund and .05 FTE of the HR Manager in the Workers
Compensation Internal Service Fund. An Administrative Analyst position was added to the City Manager’s Office in FY 2007/08 to provide support for the various City Commissions, due to
the reinstatement of the Parks & Recreation Commission, and enhanced public outreach and media relations activities. C -17 114

CITY CLERK’S OFFICE The City Clerk is responsible for facilitating the legal requirements in conducting City business, as set forth in the Government Code and City Municipal Code. The
City Clerk serves the public by providing information and assistance related to maintaining City records through the timely indexing of resolutions, ordinances, and agreements, preparing

and affirmations, preparing and publishing legal notices, maintaining the Saratoga Municipal Code, processing board and commission recruitment applications, working with the Santa Clara
County Registrar of Voters to conduct local elections in a fair and impartial manner, and receiving petitions and subpoenas on behalf of the City. BUDGET OVERVIEW The City Clerk oversees
the City’s dedication program, in which the City receives funds to purchase trees, benches, or plaques in honor of Saratoga citizens. Funding for these dedications are offset with matching
expenditures. The FY 2008/09 budget reflects a decrease in both the revenue and expenditures side of this program as dedications are very limited historically. As FY 2008/09 is an election
year, $15,000 is budgeted for candidate filing fees. Notable program costs include: $17,000 for public noticing over the year; $20,000 for streaming video service for City Council meetings;
$50,000 for records management services to microfiche City documents’ and another $5,000 for codification services (maintaining the City’s Municipal Code). As this is an election year,
$70,000 is budgeted for election expenses in FY 2008/09. The remaining expenditures are ongoing costs for salary, supplies, training, operational expenses, C -21 118

FINANCE & ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DEPARTMENT The Finance and Administrative Services Department provides oversight and support for the City’s financial, administrative, and technology
operations. As a centralized administrative function for the City, the department’s Financial Services is a General Fund program. The department’s Information Technology Services program
provides interdepartmental technology support throughout the City departments and is therefore an Internal Service program, along with the two equipment use and replacement funds: Information
Technology Equipment Replacement; and Office Stores. With an emphasis on accountability on a departmental basis, the Administrative Services Department continues to reflect several budgetary
changes which were effective beginning in FY 2007/08. The Financial Services program was pared down to represent financial operations, with the city based tax revenues and expenses moved
to the General Administration program. The General Administration program was then realigned to the Non-Department section to function as a citywide revenue and expense non-operational
program. In addition, the Legal, and Public Safety programs were realigned to the Non-Departmental section as these programs are externally staffed and managed, outside of City departments.
The Administrative Service’s MIS program in the General Fund was closed and re-opened as an Internal Service Fund program under the new name of Information Technology Services, in order
to properly allocate these expenses to the City’s departments. An Office Stores program was also opened as an Internal Services Fund program to allocate expenses for office support equipment
and supplies to departments. BUDGET OVERVIEW The Departmental Budget reflects standard operations as established with the prior year’s budget structure. The Financial Services’ departmental
operations are reflected in the General Fund, with the IT support services and the IT and office equipment funds accounted for in the Internal Service Funds. C -29 Fiscal Year 2008/09
General Fund revenues include Business License program administration fees; Internal Service Fund revenues include service charges to the other departments for allocated support. The
departmental operating expenditure budget reflects predominantly status quo operations with a slight increase budgeted to improve efficiencies in core services such as revenue collection
and expenditure processes, and the timeliness of financial reporting functions. The funding for six full time benefited, and two full-time and one half-time temporary positions reflects
a change from the prior year’s staffing structure with the under-filling of one benefited IT Technician position with a temporary IT Intern, and the increase from a one-half time AP
temporary position to a full-time AP temporary position. Both of these positions are essential to providing support for the financial system implementation and the financial process
efficiencies and improvements. 126

FINANCIAL SERVICES The Financial Services program functions to assure both legal and fiscal accountability to the public. The Finance program’s core services are to: provide financial
oversight and administer accounting functions for all the City’s funds and accounts; prepare the Annual Operating and Capital Budgets for fiscal and service accountability; coordinate
the annual financial audit and preparation of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) to verify proper fiscal practices are maintained; ensure all Federal, State and County
fiscal reporting requirements are fulfilled; administer the City’s Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Payroll, and Business License functions; and oversee the City’s purchasing functions,
ensuring proper practices are in place, and that fiscal and operational responsibility is upheld. BUDGET OVERVIEW The FY 2008/09 Financial Services program’s budget reflects budgeted
revenues and expenditures to account for financial operations and services. Revenues in this program are comprised of the processing fees collected from providing Business License program
services. The Business License Tax revenue that is collected with this process flows to the General Administration program in the Non-Departmental Section. The Financial Services expenditure
budget includes an increase in the salary and benefits category with the augmentation of a half-time Accounts Payable (AP) position to a full-time AP temporary position. The impact from
understaffing this position in the past created operational inefficiencies within the Finance Department, which resulted in a backlog of accurate tracking and financial information internally,
and the inability to provide assistance to other City departments. The full staffing of this temporary position will allow for improved financial operations and workload timeliness,
and is clearly essential over the next year with the new financial system implementation. The remainder of the program’s expenditures reflects a status quo operating budget to provide
for external financial and revenue auditing services, bank fees, and general operating expenditures. C -33 130

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS The Management Information Systems program was closed effective with the FY 2007/08 budget. As technology support is a citywide function, it was determined
the MIS program was not a General Fund function, but an internal support function for all departments. The program was then re-established as an Internal Service Fund program under the
name Information Technology Services beginning with the FY 2007/08 budget. This new program allocates service costs back to the departments on a usage basis, to properly account for
this service within each department. The Management Information Systems program supported the delivery of technology based services throughout the City’s operations. Core services included
the maintenance and support for the City’s information systems, voicemail, and wireless communications, as well as desktop computer and network maintenance and support. The program also
supported the upgrade of existing technology, as well as new information technology initiatives. In meeting the City’s information technology needs, the IT Services program worked to
continuously enhance and improve IT services, and maintain and enhance a sound and reliable IT infrastructure. BUDGET OVERVIEW As this program was closed effective with the FY 2007/08
budget, only prior year financial and staffing information is reflected in the following schedules; there are no Objectives or Key Services listed. The following Internal Service Fund
program named Information Technology Services does include all ongoing program objectives and services. C -37 134

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES Information Technology Services supports the delivery of technology based services throughout the City operations. Core services include the maintenance
and support for the all the City’s information systems, voicemail, and wireless communications, as well as desktop computer and network maintenance and support. The IT Service program
supports the upgrade of existing technology, as well as new information technology initiatives. In meeting the City’s information technology needs, the IT Services program strives to
continuously enhance and improve IT services, and to maintain and ensure a sound, secure, and reliable IT infrastructure. BUDGET OVERVIEW C -41 The IT Services budget reflects an increase
in revenues from service charge-backs as the program’s overall budgeted expenditures are anticipated to increase. Even with a slight decrease in the salary and benefit category from
the IT Technician position being under-filled with a temporary IT Intern for FY 2008/09, the remainder of the program’s operating expenditures are increasing due to the addition of several
consultant and annual license and support fees, including new services for the Laserfiche, Granicus, and Comcate systems, as well as telecommunication services, backup software, spam,
and antivirus systems. Annual license and support fees for FY 2008/09 total $142,300, whereas $107,850 was budgeted in the prior year. Additional increases stem from rising internal
service charges for insurance and building maintenance. 138

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT FUND The Information Technology Equipment Replacement Fund program provides for a consistent level of funding for the replacement of desktop
computers and monitors, servers, laptops, and various types of printers, on an ongoing basis. Staff prepared a replacement schedule for the City IT equipment, with estimated life plans
and calculated replacement costs to determine funding needs each year, and determined an annual funding level which will result in a smoothing of operating expenses over the years, as
well as providing a more accurate cost of operations on an ongoing basis. Initially, IT equipment is purchased by the requesting department. If the equipment will be replaced on an ongoing
basis, the new equipment is added to the department’s replacement schedule list, and replacement charges would be adjusted for outgoing years. With the ongoing rapid changes in technology,
replacement equipment may vary considerably from original equipment. Historically however, IT equipment cost has remained fairly consistent in price with improved technology. As a result,
ongoing replacement costs are not expected to increase significantly in future years. BUDGET OVERVIEW The funding schedule on the following page illustrates the annual IT Equipment Replacement
charges, as calculated by tracking equipment’s costs and lifespan to determine how much is to be set aside for funding replacements each year. The charge back to the appropriate departments
is reflected in this fund as revenue, and the IT equipment replaced this year is an expenditure. Over the years, the funding amount may adjust slightly as replacement equipment and projected
costs are more finely determined; for FY 2008/09 it decreased by $800 from the prior year, down to $51,303. Planned replacements in the next fiscal year include $21,500 for 13 desktop
computer replacements, $2,200 for a laptop replacement, $15,500 for server replacements, $2,500 for a specialty printer replacement, and $11,700 for network and UPS equipment. C -45

OFFICE STORES The Office Stores program accounts for the photocopy equipment leases, copy supplies, postage machine lease, and postage on a centralized basis. Expenses are subsequently
allocated back to the appropriate department for services and supplies utilized on a quarterly basis. There is no personnel activity in this fund, therefore there is no staffing or fiscal
year objectives listed in this program. BUDGET OVERVIEW The decision to lease photocopiers and postage machines rather than purchase is based on the cost effectiveness of service contracts
versus the cost of purchasing equipment, repeated breakdowns of this type of equipment, the cost of service contracts and quality issues with older machines. With the heavy usage sustained
on a daily basis, as well as constant technology changes and cost reductions seen with this type of equipment, leasing provides the City with cost efficiency and better ongoing quality.
This Internal Service Fund program began in FY 2007/08, therefore prior costs prior are not included in the financial summary schedule. These charges were previously included within
the General Services program in the General Fund, and are consistent with prior year’s expenditures. Service charge revenues are set to bring in slightly more than expenditures initially,
in order to establish a financial buffer for unplanned equipment expenses. KEY SERVICES • Provide postage and photocopy equipment and supplies for the City’s departments C -49 • Monitor
service levels and performance of copier and postage machines, maintaining and replacing equipment as needed 146

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT The Community Development Department guides the physical growth of the City to preserve the quality of Saratoga’s small town residential character, through
the administration of planning services and zoning regulations, code compliance, building and inspection services, and through the ongoing advanced planning activities to develop the
City’s General Plan. The Saratoga community assists the Department’s activities through participation on the Planning Commission and Heritage Preservation Commission advisory boards,
and through citizen involvement in Commission and Council reviews of the General Plan and specific plans. The Department’s staff supports this community participation through development
review services, commission assistance and meeting preparation, community response, and public hearings. BUDGET OVERVIEW The Community Development Department’s FY 2008/09 budget reflects
the realignment of all the departmental programs into one General Fund department that occurred with the FY 2007/08 budget. The department’s fee based services were previously segmented
into a Special Revenue Fund, leaving the Advanced Planning and Code Compliance functions in the General Fund. This unbalanced funding structure resulted in the accumulation of a fund
balance in the Development Department’s Special Revenue Fund as the department’s full costs were not being charged to the development service fees. In addition, operational costs for
building maintenance, information technology services and equipment, vehicle costs, and workers compensation and liability insurance costs were not fully allocated to the departments,
meaning these costs were also not accounted for in the Department’s programs. The accumulated fund balance will be used to balance development service fees over the next several years.
As of FY 2008/09, the primary development review fee categories are converted back to flat fees. As a result, revenues increased slightly due to the front loading of flat fees together
with the ongoing earnings of deposit accounts. C -51 148

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES Development applications are required, in compliance with City codes, plans, and policies, in order to obtain the Planning Department’s approval to apply for building
and other development permits. To help facilitate development projects, Development Services provides applicants with review, analysis, and project processing services. The process involves
an assessment of a project’s consistency and compliance with the City’s Municipal Code, General Plan, and regulations, followed by plan checks, and inspections. Depending on the project,
more extensive historical, environmental, or geological reviews or assessments may also be required. BUDGET OVERVIEW Development Services revenues reflect an estimated increase in planning
fees from the prior year due to the anticipated front loading of flat fees for new projects, tempered somewhat by earnings from prior year deposit fees collected for in-process projects.
The remaining related planning fees are expected to remain fairly consistent with with the prior year’s estimated revenues. Notable expenditures that are new to the Development Services
budget in FY 2008/09 includes an increase in temporary staffing costs for a half-time account clerk to provide much needed assistance
with the financial duties in the department, an increase in Community Development’s software licenses (TrakIt), and a share of the cost for Geographic Information Services (GIS) from
County and Surveyor consultants. The remaining budgeted expenditures are for regular operational fees for supplemental contract planner services, planning minutes, noticing, records
management fees, Santa Clara County parcel updates and GIS Services, dues and memberships fees, and other operational costs. Prior year’s microfiche records that are to be transferred
to laserfiche will be funded as a Capital Improvement Project. C -55 152

ADVANCED PLANNING The Advanced Planning program’s purpose is to develop and update the City’s standards, regulations, Specific Plans and General Plan to guide the physical development
of the City. The City’s General Plan is an adopted statement of policy for the physical development of a community. As such, it includes the following elements: Land Use, Air Quality,
Housing, Circulation, Safety, Noise, Open Space, and Conservation. A City may also establish specific plans to further identify and foster development issues and requirements. Specific
Plans provide additional guidance for future land use development in the plan area with elements such as detailed land use, design guidelines, and implementation strategy. As an example,
the City of Saratoga has established a Specific Plan for the hillside areas. One element of the General Plan and/or a Specific Plan will be updated each year to keep the plans current.
BUDGET OVERVIEW C -59 The FY 2008/09 budget reflects estimated revenues of $200,000 collected for for General Plan Update fees, with planned expenditures for consultant services to update
the General Plan’s Housing Element. The remainder of the budgeted expenditures in this program include staffing costs, office supplies, meeting expenses, printing, and internal service
charges. 156

CODE COMPLIANCE The City’s Code Compliance program functions to ensure compliance with City and State codes, ordinances, and regulations related to animal control, building and zoning,
abandoned vehicles, signage, and noise abatement. Staff identifies, investigates, and abates violations, and in some cases, may require complainants and alleged violators to participate
in a mediation program to resolve extensive disagreements. One of Saratoga’s highest priorities is to work with residents and businesses to preserve and maintain community values and
integrity of the neighborhoods. Violations that affect life, health, and safety are given the highest priority; however, due to limited resources, the City prioritizes and responds to
non-emergency compliance issues on the basis of complaints received. BUDGET OVERVIEW C -63 FY 2008/09 revenues include fees from the administration of the City’s Massage and Solicitor
Ordinances, with matching expenditures for background checks and testing services. Other ongoing expenditures include staffing costs, operational supplies, an annual software license
fee for legal research, and internal services charges. Newly budgeted expenditures for FY 2008/09 include increases in overtime charges occurring with the high number of call-outs for
code compliance issues, and an appropriation for attorney fees charged to this program for compliance issues. Attorney fees had been charged to the program in past years, but not included
in the planned budget workplan until this year. 160

BUILDING & INSPECTION SERVICES The Building & Inspection Services program is a regulatory function that ensures minimum building and zoning standards are met in order to protect the
community’s safety, health, and property rights. The City‘s development ordinances and standards regulate the design, construction, quality of materials, use and occupancy of buildings,
as well as the location and maintenance of all buildings within the City of Saratoga. Staff assists applicants with information concerning building regulations, disability access regulations,
and other State and local ordinances, and provides plan check services in compliance with Uniform Building Codes. Staff also maintains permit tracking and plan check systems, inspects
commercial and residential buildings under construction, and reviews grading plans and performs grading inspections for construction projects with significant earthwork activity. BUDGET
OVERVIEW The Building & Inspection Services FY 2008/09 budgeted revenues are comprised of $1,590,000 from building permits, $20,000 from grading permits, and $15,000 from document fees
(used for conversion for laserfiche format). Budgeted Building Permit revenue consists of plan check fees, and building , electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits. Building Permit
fees are calculated based on the valuation of a project. For example, the valuation for a new house or habitable space addition is determined by multiplying the square footage by a cost
per square foot valuation factor. Budgeted amounts are based on the level of activity over the last several years, with adjustments for additional funding if large projects are in process.
Budgeted expenditures reflect annual increases in salary and benefit costs and other ongoing expenses, which includes $15,000 for the cost of sending document for laserfiche processing
(equal to the amount of fees taken in for this process), $23,000 for credit card fees, $1,000 for printing services, and operational expenses for supplies, dues & memberships, cell phone
phone charges, and internal service charges. C -67 164

PASS THROUGH FEES The Pass-Through Fees program separates Community Development departmental activities from fees taken in for external consultant services utilized to assist applicants
in development and building processes. Because this revenue will vary considerably from year to year, and reconciles to itself, moving pass-through fee revenue to its own program helps
to isolate on-going operational program activity. As this program is set up as a funding mechanism, only Pass-Through revenues and expenses exist in this program; there are no projects,
services, or staffing associated with this program. BUDGET OVERVIEW C -71 The Pass Through Fee revenues include fees for services the City hires out on an hourly basis. This would occur
only for more complex planner and environmental services and for attorney fees for applicants that would be charged on an hourly deposit cost basis. As the revenues are earned based
directly on expenditures in this program, the annual budget resolution includes an automatic budget adjustment qualifier to allow for the appropriation of pass-through revenues and expenditures
in this program as needed throughout the year 168

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUND The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) makes annual disbursements of Housing and Community Development Act (HCDA) funds for eligible
projects and activities. Saratoga receives federal HCDA funds through the CDBG program. The Federal Government’s CDBG program seeks to improve the quality of life for low income residents,
with emphasis in the areas of affordable housing, human services, and access for the disabled. Santa Clara County administers this grant program, providing allocations to the Cities,
in compliance with Title I of the Federal Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. The availability of CDBG funds is advertised in local publications, and the City subsequently
receives grant applications from community and non-profit groups. A portion of the funds may be spent for social or human service activities; however, the majority of the funding is
reserved for ‘brick and mortar’ housing or accessibility projects. Another portion of the funding is reserved for program administration. Santa Clara County Housing and Community Development
Department (HCD) administers the component of the HCDA that designates a portion of the funding to be used for low-interest loans to income-eligible homeowners, including home repairs
such as new roofs and electrical upgrades. HCD charges the CDBG Fund $13,000 per year to administer the low income loan program. The City may charge the CDBG Fund up to $15,000 per year
to reimburse itself for costs associated with City administration of the grant program. BUDGET OVERVIEW For FY 2008/09, the City is slated to receive $133,214 of CDBG funding. Of that
amount, the social or human services component of the grant is limited to $32,732. With the HCD Program administration cost of $13,000 and the City’s administration cost of $15,000,
the remaining funding available for housing or accessibility projects is $72,482. The human services grant allocation of $32,732 will be transferred to the City’s grant program for distribution
to the Saratoga Area Senior Coordinating Council (SASCC), along with supplemental funding from the City in the amount of $1,268, for a total grant of $34,000. The City is also providing
supplemental grants to two other organizations that had requested CDBG funding: West Valley Community Services will receive $15,164 to help support their low income assistance program;
and Catholic Charities will receive $5,000 to help support their Long Term Care Ombudsman Program. The City of Saratoga will receive housing/accessibility grant funding in the amount
of $55,600 to update the City’s street signals with audible signals for the visually impaired, and $16,882 to install a disabled accessible ramp at the Historic Museum. The Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires access to the public right-of-way for people with disabilities. Additionally, prior year CDBG accessibility funds in the amount of $6,225 were re-allocated
for the installation of ADA compliant seating in the City’s Civic Auditorium. C -73 The CDBG program functions as a funding mechanism to transfer approved grants to the appropriate program
or CIP project. There are no staffing, objectives, or key services listed for this program. 170

SARATOGA HOUSING AND REHABILITATION PROGRAM Saratoga’s Housing and Rehabilitation Program, known as SHARP, offers low interest housing rehabilitation loans for low-income residents.
The program provides low-interest loans to income-eligible homeowners for home repairs such as new roofs and electrical upgrades. The City entered into a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA)
with Santa Clara County under the Housing and Community Development Act whereby the County’s Housing and Community Development (HCD) department now manages the lowincome housing rehabilitation
program for the City. HCD charges $13,000 of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for the administration of the program each year. The cost covers processing loan applications,
determining eligibility, processing loan paperwork and coordinating payments to the contractors doing the repair work. BUDGET OVERVIEW The City transferred the administration of the
Housing Program to the JPA several years ago; however, the JPA did not assume the administration of the loans that were issued by the City until FY 2005/06. The County assumed all of
the loans except the one issued to the Mid-Peninsula Housing Coalition, which represents the fund balance in the Housing Conservation Fund. The FY 2008/09 budget reflects the $13,000
funding transferred in from CDBG, and the $13,000 expenditure back to the County for administering the program. As the SHARP Fund functions purely as a pass through mechanism to fund
the administrative costs for the loan administration program, there are no staffing, objectives, or key services in this program. C -75 172

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT The Public Works Department oversees engineering and capital project functions, reviews the public’s development plans for engineering and geological oversight,
maintains the City’s parks, trails, medians, right-of-ways, and landscape districts; repairs and maintains the roadway systems, including streets, signals, lighting, and storm drains;
provides vehicle maintenance oversight and minor maintenance; and ensures the City’s environmental responsibilities are fulfilled. Public Works also provides information and outreach
to the City’s residents, businesses, and the public concerning the department’s programs and activities that are available to them and the infrastructure projects that may affect them.
The Department provides these services under five main operational programs: General Engineering, Development Engineering, Environmental Services, Streets and Storm Drains, Parks and
Landscape Maintenance; two internal support programs: Equipment Maintenance and Equipment Replacement; Replacement; and 24 separate Landscape and Lighting Districts. The Public Works
Department provides
many of the City’s services that maintain the quality rural, neighborhood, and business community for which Saratoga is known. BUDGET OVERVIEW The FY 2008/09 departmental operating
budget continues to reflect the restructuring of the Public Works programs implemented effective with the 2007/08 budget in order to isolate operating expenditures from Capital Improvement
expenditures. This required shifting staff positions to operational programs within the General Fund, moving Gas Tax revenues and street improvement projects to the Capital Budget, and
consolidating support expenditures and equipment costs into Internal Service Funds so these activities are properly charged back to departments. The FY 2008/09 budget includes the reduction
of 1 position in the Engineering Division as a result of a position vacancy during mid-year 2007/08, and the reassignment of some capital project oversight duties to other departmental
staff. C -77 While most of the department’s ongoing operational expenses were held to prior year levels, budgeted expenditures do reflect some increases in materials, fuel, and expenses
directly linked to the completion of park and trail capital projects during the year. As these capital projects are to be completed during FY 2008/09, the increases reflect only partial
year impacts. Further increases, reflecting full year maintenance costs are expected in subsequent years. 174

GENERAL ENGINEERING The General Engineering program provides oversight for the City’s engineering activities not related to private development. This includes the design, management
and administration of the Capital Improvement Plan to improve the City’s public infrastructure ( e.g. streets, storm drains, sidewalks, signalized intersections, parks and medians) with
an emphasis on delivering capital projects within planned schedules and budgets. General Engineering operations also include traffic management, the development of Geographic Information
System (GIS) data to manage the City’s infrastructure, and annexation, right-of-way, and property boundary issues. BUDGET OVERVIEW The General Engineering budget is consistent with the
prior year’s budget, and continues the reallocation of 1.4 FTEs to General Engineering from the Gas Tax, Environmental Funds, and the Commission program, and additional operating expenses
shifted to this program from the Gas Tax program. The most significant change in the General Engineering budget is the reduction of one Engineer position from this program connected
to the capital project oversight duties now reallocated to other staff members within the department. Ongoing operating expenditures reflect consistent service levels, with the exception
of the increase in the use of the Consultant City Traffic Engineer due to additional Traffic Safety Commission Meetings, requiring Traffic Engineering support. C -81 178

DEVELOPMENT ENGINEERING The Development Engineering Program, in coordination with the City’s Community Development Department, provides services for private development projects to ensure
they are constructed in accordance with City standards. Services include reviewing plans and specifications, providing grading and drainage inspections, and controlling encroachment
in the public right-of-way. This program seeks to fully recover the costs of providing development services. BUDGET OVERVIEW The FY 2008/09 Budget continues to reflect the realignment
of development activities into General Fund operations within the Public Works Department first implemented in the FY 2007/08 budget. This program’s activities are consistent with the
Development Regulation program in the Special Revenue Fund closed effective with the FY 2006/07 year-end. The program was realigned as part of the General Fund to be consistent with
the City’s audited financial statements. Budgeted revenues and expenditures reflect the expectation that services will continue at prior year activity levels, as development activity
appears to be holding steady. Notable budgeted expenditures include $80,000 for contract Geotechnical Services and $16,000 for contract Surveyor Services. These expenses are incurred
as development services are needed, and paid for by revenues received from applicants. The remainder of budgeted expenses for FY 2008/09 is limited to office supplies and internal service
charges. C -85 182

ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES The Environmental Services program was established effective FY 2007/08 with the closure of the Environmental Services Special Revenue Fund. The Special Revenue
Fund was closed as a result of the elimination of the solid waste surcharge revenues under the new waste management contract that went into effect in March of 2007. With this new contract,
the Environmental Fund no longer had specific funding for these activities; however the loss of the revenue surcharge was offset by an increase in franchise fees, which is appropriated
in the General Fund. Therefore, this environmental services program was opened in the General Fund to account for the staff positions, activities, and expenses to meet the City’s environmental
requirements and provide environmental services to the community. This program provides staffing and services to administer the City’s Solid Waste program, promote environmental services
available to City of Saratoga residents, advocate Green Business practices, and ensure the City complies with the State’s environmental requirements. BUDGET OVERVIEW The FY 2008/09 budget
reflects significant increases in the Non-Point Source Pollution Prevention Program dues and fees (from $126,400 to $157,957) and the new street sweeping contract (from $95,000 to $110,000)
and a decrease in last year’s one-time refuse contract expense ($20,750). Other budgeted expenditures for FY 2008/09 include $32,000 for West Valley Solid Waste Joint Powers Agreement
(JPA) dues, $20,000 for West Valley Sanitation District’s storm drain cleaning, and $5,000 for storm water testing. C -89 Revenues for this program include AB939 Refuse Surcharge Fees,
collected by Santa Clara County for waste disposed of at local landfills that is attributed to Saratoga addresses, The fee is used to fund County Household Hazardous Waste programs,
with a portion allocated to the City for its solid waste management programs. 186

STREETS & STORM DRAINS The Streets and Storm Drains program provides for ongoing maintenance and minor repairs to the City’s roadways, storm drains, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks. Program
activities include small pavement reconstruction, filling of potholes, maintenance of roadway signs, traffic markings (paint), signals, streetlights, and debris removal. The Street program
coordinates program work with the Engineering Division for traffic and roadway projects, and with the Parks program for weed control and storm drain work. The Streets and Storm Drains
program represents a collective of several programs in prior year budgets. With the realignment of capital project expenses to the Capital Improvement Plan, the focus of this program
was limited to ongoing street and storm drain related activities effective with the FY 2007/08 budget. This resulted in combining the former Streets Maintenance program with the Flood
Control and Storm Drain program and the Gas Tax program for maintenance services, and moving contract pavement management activity to the Capital Improvement Plan. BUDGET OVERVIEW In
FY 2007/08, the Street budget went through significant structural changes. Many of the expenditures now included in the Streets & Storm Drain budget were previously budgeted in other
programs, whereas the capital expenditures for street resurfacing that had sometimes appeared in the Streets budget are now included in the capital improvement budget. Additionally,
in FY 2008/09, signage, striping services, and street material supplies directly connected to street resurfacing capital projects will be funded from the capital improvement budgets.
Notable expenditures for this year include $25,000 for street signal and lighting electricity, and $120,500 for assorted street maintenance contract services( including estimated budgets
of $30,000 for tree maintenance, $20,000 for weed abatement, $13,500 for joint traffic control services, $12,000 for street maintenance repair services, $20,000 for traffic signal maintenance,
and $25,000 for traffic signal repairs). The remainder of the budget provides for operational expenses and internal service charges. C -93 190

PARKS & LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE With the purpose of realigning functions into consolidated program budgets, the Parks & Landscape Maintenance program combines several prior year’s programs:
Parks and Open Space; Median and Parkways; and portions of the Environmental Funds and Gas Tax Fund budgets. The focus of the Parks & Landscape Maintenance program is the management
and maintenance of the City’s parks, trails, open space, landscaped medians and islands, and City facilities, to provide for attractive, well maintained, and water efficient landscaping.
This Parks & Landscape Maintenance program manages the City’s parks, trails, and open spaces to provide safe, clean, and well-maintained recreation facilities for residents and visitors.
The Parks & Landscape Maintenance Division is responsible for maintaining 13 parks and open space areas throughout the City. BUDGET OVERVIEW Budgeted revenues for this program include
$99,800 of field use fees from sport user groups, and $129,734 from Landscape & Lighting District administrative fees for the staffing, engineering, legal fees, and administrative costs
for district oversight and maintenance. Revenues and expenses from the City’s tree replanting project were eliminated from this operating program in FY 2007/08, and moved to a Capital
Improvement Plan project. Ongoing median landscaping contract cost increases are a result of new and additional landscaped areas including Pierce Road and Highway 9 near Oak Street.
Cost increases are also stemming from partial year maintenance cost increases (4 months) connected to the Kevin Moran Park Project and the De Anza Trail Project in the FY 2008/09 budget.
In subsequent years, additional increases are anticipated for full-year water and maintenance service costs. C -97 Notable budgeted expenditures for FY 2008/09 include $110,000 for water,
$55,000 for landscape services for the City’s medians, $85,000 for the Heritage Orchard maintenance contract, $12,000 for turf top dressing of grass areas, and $31,700 for pest control
services. The remainder of budgeted expenditures consists of various repair and maintenance services, small tools and maintenance supplies, plant stock, and operational supplies. 194

EQUIPMENT OPERATIONS The Equipment Operations program in the General Fund was closed with the FY 2007/08 budget. This program was previously treated as part of the Public Works operations
with the purpose of maintaining all City vehicles. As this effort maintained, serviced, and fueled vehicles from other departments in addition to the Public Works Department, this program
was realigned to an Internal Service Fund in order to fully capture program costs in the appropriate Department. BUDGET OVERVIEW C -101 As this program was closed at the end of FY 2006/07,
only prior financial and staffing information is reflected in the following schedules. There are no Objectives or Key Services in the FY 2008/09 budget; however, the following Internal
Service Fund program titled Equipment Maintenance, does state all ongoing program functions and services. 198

EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE FUND The Equipment Maintenance Fund is a new Internal Service Fund effective as of the FY 2007/08 budget, and continues with the same purpose as the prior General
Fund Equipment Operations program: to maintain all City vehicles and equipment in accordance with manufacturers recommendations and requirements, and to ensure all vehicles and equipment
are safe and well functioning. Staff provides preventative maintenance and repair services; maintains repair, ownership, warranty, and maintenance records of vehicle and equipment inventory;
provides for regular cleaning of all vehicles in accordance with the City’s non-point source permit; maintains sufficient fuel supplies at all times; maintains records of fuel usage;
and performs monthly operational tests of emergency generators. BUDGET OVERVIEW Revenues from this program reflect the allocated charges to all departments for the cost of providing
maintenance and repair services, and fueling vehicles and equipment. Additional revenue is received for fuel sales to the Saratoga Fire Department. Expenditures in this program reflect
an increase in budgeted fuel as the price of gasoline and diesel continues to escalate. Other notable expenditures include $3,200 for agency filing fees, $40,000 for contracted repairs
and maintenance services, $80,000 for fuel, and $1500 for tools and supplies. C -103 200

EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT FUND The Equipment Replacement Fund provides for a consistent level of funding for the replacement of vehicles and equipment at the end of an asset’s life span.
Staff prepared a replacement schedule for the City’s vehicles and equipment for the next twenty years with estimated life plans and calculated replacement costs to determine funding
needs each year, and determined an annual funding level expected to allow for the scheduled replacement of vehicles and equipment as the asset reaches the end of its useful life. The
result of this funding structure is a smoothing of operating expenses over the years, and a more accurate reflection of the actual cost of operations. With the high level of care and
maintenance staff puts into the City’s vehicles, the replacement schedules reflect a longer than average life span than other agencies use. The City is using 7 years for vehicles and
trucks, whereas other cities use 5 years for general purpose vehicles. In some cases a vehicle or equipment’s life span could be shorter or longer than expected, but with a replacement
fund, adjustments can most often be made without severely impacting the ongoing operating budget. BUDGET OVERVIEW The FY 2008/09 budget includes allocated charges of $200,000 for the
annual replacement fund, with approximately $136,500 in vehicle and equipment replacement costs planned for FY 2008/09. The FY 2008/09 planned replacements are shown in the schedule
on the following pages. As this program is for funding set-aside only, there is no staffing assigned to this function. C -107 204

GAS TAX FUND Gas Tax Revenue is a state provided funding source enacted by State statute for the purpose of street and highway maintenance and reconstruction. Street and Highway Code
Sections 2105, 2106, 2107, and 2107.5 govern the Gas Tax Fund. Expenditures from this fund are restricted to the Gas Tax Fund definitions for street and road working activities, which
are classified under construction, maintenance, or overhead. BUDGET OVERVIEW Effective with the FY 2007/08 budget, all capital improvement project activities were realigned to the Capital
Improvement Plan budget. As this funding source is utilized for major street improvements, this Special Revenue fund closed with the FY 2006/07 year-end, and moved to the Capital Improvement
Plan as a funding source for capital improvement projects. Prior financial and staffing information is reflected in the following schedules for historical reference only. Staffing was
reallocated to various General Fund Public Works Department programs as of the FY 2007/08 budget. C -119 216

LANDSCAPE & LIGHTING DISTRICTS The City maintains 24 Landscape and Lighting Districts throughout the City, with the consent of property owners along or within the boundaries of the Districts.
The Districts are funded through property tax assessments, or through property owner approved benefit assessments. Four of the City’s Districts are funded solely by property taxes, and
another three Districts are funded by both property tax and benefit assessments. The remaining seventeen are funded solely by Benefit Assessment. Districts funded with Property Tax all
existed prior to the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978, which froze district assessment formulas built into the tax rates at the time of passage. The three Districts that have benefit
assessment revenues in addition to Property Tax revenues subsequently approved a benefit assessment to augment funding as the property tax funding alone was not sufficient. The benefit
assessment based Landscape and Lighting Districts are exempt from Proposition 218 requirements requiring a 2/3 majority approval, unless approved assessment levels are increased. Section
5 of Proposition 218 provides that the measure does not apply to assessments existing as of November 1996 if the assessments were “imposed pursuant to a petition signed by the persons
owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed”. Consequently, the City is not required to conduct an election of the property owners
unless the assessment is increased. Since the passage of Proposition 218, the City ensures annual increases are built into the assessment agreements to allow for up to 5% of assessment
increases. With operational costs continuing to increase each year, an annual increase enables the City to continue to provide the same level of services. Only two of the Districts that
were established prior to the passage of Prop 218 do not currently have this allowance for annual increases built into the agreement. SUMMARY BUDGET OVERVIEW The FY 2008/09 Landscape
& & Lighting District budget continues to reflect the change in accounting methods implemented in FY 2007/08. Prior year expenses reflected staffing costs within the Districts for staff’s
time spent on operational maintenance and oversight. These costs are now accounted for as part of the administrative service fees and the costs are included within the Operating Transfers
Out charges from each district. This change eliminated the duplication of total staffing and benefits costs in the City’s Total Fund Financial Summaries. C -123 Assessment levels also
reflect the continued practice of building fund balance levels for future year’s repairs and projects. This will create a level of protection to prevent the City from paying for unplanned
costs up front, and waiting to be repaid in following years. 220

RECREATION DEPARTMENT The Recreation Department offers a wide variety of diverse activities and programs for people of all ages through both the Recreation and Teen Services. In addition,
the Recreation Department administers the Facility Rental program for community groups and the public at the City’s parks, Community Center, Warner Hutton House, and North Campus Buildings.
The Recreation Department provides classes, camps, programs, and activities. The benefits of these programs include building self-esteem in children, adding more balance to the lives
of residents, promoting physical fitness, providing opportunities for social interaction, helping to reduce stress, enhancing or learning new skills, helping to eliminate loneliness
in older citizens, and promoting sensitivity to cultural diversity. By offering a variety of classes, camps, trips, a pre-school program, youth and teen activities, a comprehensive dance
program, and fee-based special events, the Department helps create a sense of community and provides opportunities for residents to get to know their neighbors and live happier, healthier
lives. The Recreation Department’s goal is to achieve 100% cost recovery for all direct costs of recreation services, while at the same time providing these services at rates the community
will support. While there is a paradox between the two interests, the City continues to make strides in reducing service costs in relation to revenues. Staff continues to assess program
and activity costs in relation to the community’s interests and needs. While some programs and activities are not cost effective, it may be determined that community need is of greater
importance. This is often the case with excursions and teen programs. BUDGET OVERVIEW The Recreation Department’s FY 2008/09 budget reflects minor changes from last fiscal year. The
Department’s building maintenance activities continue to be broken out from the recreation and facility rental activities and included in an Internal Service Fund program, as these functions
provide citywide janitorial and building maintenance services that are now allocated to all departments. Some small reallocation of staff time was performed to better reflect actual
work performed as well
as time spent in individual service areas. The Recreation Supervisor position will be under filled at the Coordinator level, resulting in a budget savings in Recreation Services, while
an increase in a Facilities Worker position level I to level II slightly increased the Building Maintenance staffing budget. C -127 224

RECREATION SERVICES Recreation Services plans, organizes, schedules, promotes, supervises, and evaluates approximately 800 classes and activities per year. This includes managing over
100 independent contractors, overseeing approximately 140 summer camps at 18 different parks and facilities, holding a holiday camp, planning 22 excursions and trips per year, conducting
quarterly e-mail promotional campaigns, and publishing a quarterly recreation program brochure that is mailed to all residents and non-resident users. Recreation Services also provides
a preschool program 5 days a week, works cooperatively with Redwood Middle School and Saratoga High School for use of their facilities for Department programs, and provides a Children’s
Camp program with classes, workshops, demonstrations, and activities. BUDGET OVERVIEW The Recreation Services budget reflects a slight reduction in revenues, a realignment of staffing
allocations, and a status quo budget for operational expenses. A Recreation Supervisor position will be under filled to a Coordinator level for a small budget savings. Staff allocations
across service areas were also re-evaluated to better reflect time spent and work performed. Recreation Services has three revenue sources to support recreation services. For FY 2008/09,
this includes $180,000 in camp fees, $92,000 in excursion fees, and $565,000 from classes and special program fees. The availability of the North Campus Fellowship Hall for the last
half of the fiscal year is expected to generate minimal revenue growth for this budget but will allow for future increases as programming develops. C -131 Notable ongoing expenditures
in the Recreation Services budget include $300,000 for instructors, $62,000 for excursions, $25,000 for materials and camp supplies, $27,100 for recreation brochure printing and $12,400
for mailing costs, $13,000 for credit card fees, $2,000 for off-site facility rentals, and $4,500 for the Recreation Department’s RecTrac system support. Class revenue is tied directly
to the cost for instructors as each class contract identifies the proportion of class revenue the instructor receives. The remaining ongoing expenditures are for operational expenses
and internal service charges. 228

TEEN SERVICES The Teen Services program includes all pre-teen and teen activities sponsored by the Recreation Department. The City Council established a Youth Commission in 1988 to play
a key role in all Citysponsored programs for Teens in Saratoga. The Teen Services staff and Youth Commission work together to: sponsor five to six middle school dances per year; coordinate
and supervise two annual Snow trips;, sponsor three to four high school-aged concerts; oversee the Teen Scene at the Saratoga Chamber of Commerce’s annual festival; supervise two week-long
Teen Xtreme Summer Camps; hold one to two Chill Nights at the Warner Hutton House; administer the Youth Commission overnight training; provide oversight to the saratogateen website;
sponsor the annual Teen Inspiration Lecture Series; and sponsor three to four special events each year. The goal of the Teen Services program is to provide education, community involvement
and recreation for all teens in Saratoga, regardless of school or district. The connection with the Youth Commission helps to provide an opportunity and training ground for teens to
serve as positive role models in the community, to encourage teens throughout the City to become active, contributing citizens, and to develop leadership skills to train future community
leaders. BUDGET OVERVIEW Revenues for the Teen Services program comes from the classes and events conducted. Due to reduced attendance at the Middle School dances in 2007-08, revenue
projections were lowered for fiscal 2008/09. C -135 The FY 2008/09 Teen Services budget reflects the same staffing levels as last year, including under filling the Recreation Supervisor
position as a Recreation Coordinator position thereby offsetting annual increases, resulting in a slight overall decrease in annual salary and benefit expenses. Operating expenses decreased
as a result of the reduction in teen dances. The remainder of operating expenses for this program remained consistent, with $16,000 budgeted for teen excursions, dances, and special
events. 232

FACILITY RENTALS The Facility Rentals program provides the community with facilities for private individuals, non-profit or profit-based groups to use for receptions, parties, events,
meetings, workshops, or other activities. Therefore, the Facility Rental Program reflects only those revenues and expenditures related to the cost of renting and operating City facilities.
BUDGET OVERVIEW Revenues for this program are expected to bring in about $72,000 for Community Center rentals, another $22,200 for Senior Center rentals, and $9,000 for the Warner Hutton
House. The Civic Center Theater will bring in approximately $45,000, and the North Campus buildings about $8,000. Revenue projections for the North Campus are expected to increase after
the Fellowship Hall building becomes available for rental. Blaney Plaza banner rentals will bring in approximately $8,000, the Community Garden Plot at El Quito Park another $2,800,
and rentals from the City’s parks (exclusive of sport user agreements) will bring in around $8,000 over the year. Expenditures for this program reflect staffing by the Facility Coordinator,
whose function is to rent the facilities, portions of the Recreation Director and support staff to assist with facility duties and rentals, and temporary facility attendants. Salary
and benefit costs decreased in FY 2008/09 as the Director’s time was reallocated to better represent the greater emphasis of duties on building maintenance and improvements. Over time,
temporary staffing expenses are anticipated to increase in this program as the need for facility attendants to supervise activities at the North Campus increases. With the facility expected
to be open only part of the year, and use expected to build over time, additional attendant hours were not initially built into this budget, however if shifting of attendant staffing
is not sufficient for the new usage, an adjustment may be requested in the later part of the fiscal year. Direct costs for this program are minimal, with $1,600 budgeted for operational
supplies. The largest expense is the internal service charge as the Facility Rentals program accounts for a large percentage of building maintenance expenses. Ongoing costs are expected
to grow minimally in future years. C -139 236

BUILDING MAINTENANCE FUND Building Maintenance provides services to ensure City facilities are safe and functional for the general public and employee use. This program is a citywide
support function for custodial, maintenance, repair services, and building improvements for all facilities at the Civic Center and North Campus, and supports the needs of the tenants
of City leased buildings as defined in lease agreements. Building Maintenance staff plan, schedule, and manage small and large building facility maintenance, repair, and improvement
projects. The Building Maintenance staff ensures the City’s facilities are in a clean and usable condition at all times for employees and the general public. Custodial services such
as vacuuming, trash removal, window washing, restroom cleaning, carpet cleaning, and floor stripping and sealing, are all on a regular schedule. Regular maintenance services are also
on a schedule, which includes items such as painting, roof maintenance, pest control, and HVAC servicing. Other maintenance repair services such as electrical and plumbing repairs are
provided, on contract, on an as needed basis. The Building Maintenance program also incorporates citywide facility expenses such as utilities, and citywide maintenance and janitorial
supplies. City departments are charged an allocated amount to recognize the cost associated with the custodial and building maintenance in order to more fully account for operational
expenses associated with providing these services. BUDGET OVERVIEW Effective with the FY 2007/08 budget, the Building Maintenance program incorporated the staffing and expenses associated
with facility custodial and maintenance services, as well as the revenues earned from charging back to the departments. With one year of history-based data on the actual expenses, minor
revisions are included in the FY 2008/09 budget to better reflect actual amounts, including improved allocation of staff time. C -143 Expenditures include ongoing facility supplies,
building expenses, and contract services for maintenance and repairs. The addition of the North Campus Fellowship Hall resulted in increased maintenance costs for November through June.
Continued efforts to “go green” are also reflected in the costs of maintenance supplies and equipment. Other planned facility projects are located in the Capital Improvement Plan. 240

PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT The Public Safety Department is comprised of the Public Safety Services Program, which focuses on providing day-to-day law enforcement services, and the Emergency
Preparedness Program, which prepares the City for infrequent large-scale disaster and emergency occurrences. The Public Safety Department represents multiple agencies that protect the
community and provide emergency response as needed. The City of Saratoga contracts for law enforcement services with the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office (Sheriff’s Office), and receives
fire protection and emergency services from both the Saratoga Fire and Santa Clara County (SCC) Fire Districts. Animal control services are provided on contract by the City of San Jose
Animal Care and Services Division (SJACS). As external agencies provide the operational and managerial staffing for these Public Safety programs, no city staff is assigned to this department.
The City Council has identified the maintenance of basic Public Safety as their number one service priority. This includes traffic, patrol, and general law enforcement, and educating
the community on crime prevention, traffic safety, and emergency response. The Public Safety Services Program supports the Council’s priorities through the Sheriff’s Office contract.
The Neighborhood Resources Officer position has been included in the budget for the third year. This position works with the Neighborhood Watch Program, the schools and businesses on
crime prevention, education and training. FY 2008/09 budget increases for sheriff services reflect the annual increase as allowed under the current county contract. The City is responsible
for coordinating emergency response efforts in the event of a significant earthquake, fire, or other natural or man-made disaster, and coordinates with emergency services agencies to
prepare the City and community for self-sufficiency and proper response to emergency events. To this end, the City plans and trains for various situations in an effort to employ best
practices, by determining outstanding needs, creating awareness, and educating City staff about their emergency response duties. The Emergency Preparedness Program is supported by SCC
Fire personnel who develop the City’s Emergency Operations Plan and checklists; assist
with the formation of an Emergency Operations Center (EOC), and train City staff and the community in Emergency Preparedness via the planning and supervision of drills and exercises.

PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES The City of Saratoga contracts for law enforcement services with the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office. As the City’s limited revenue base restricts the community’s
service levels to minimal public safety services, the City entered into a 10-year contract with the County Sheriff’s Office in September, 2004 to provide basic patrol, traffic, and law
enforcement services. With additional funding available in FY 2005/06, an enhancement to the contract added a Neighborhood Resource Officer whose functions include school traffic enforcement,
support for the Neighborhood Watch program, crime prevention assistance, citizen mediation, and limited school support. With added property tax revenues from the passage of AB 117, the
Council enhanced the Sheriff’s contract by increasing the current 22,903 service hours by an additional 1,046 hours, bringing total service hours to 23,949 in FY 2007/08. The proposed
budget for FY 2008/09 maintains this level of service. The City also contracts with San Jose Animal Care and Services Division (SJACS) for field response, licensing, and shelter services,
including picking up stray, injured, or dead animals, complaint investigations, providing shelter for abandoned, impounded, lost, or stray animals, quarantine and testing of animals,
medical services, and licensing of animals. BUDGET OVERVIEW Revenues for the Public Safety Services Program stem from two statewide funding sources and several operational revenue sources.
The Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF) provides the City with a $100,000 grant to be used for the enhancement of public safety services. This SLESF grant currently funds
the Neighborhood Resource Officer position for Public Safety. Additionally, the City receives an allocated share of the State’s Public Safety Sales Tax (Proposition 172) estimated to
be $85,000 for FY 2008/09. Budgeted revenues for False Alarm Fines, Vehicle Code Bails and Fines, and Parking Citations are expected to bring in a total of approximately $255,000 for
the year, and another $20,000 is expected from SJACS stemming from the agency’s charges to Saratoga residents for boarding, licenses, and fines. The majority of the Public Safety Services
Program expenditures are for the Sheriff’s Office law enforcement contract. The FY 2008/09 contract amount is increasing almost $244,000 from the FY 2007/08 amount based on the Consumer
Price Index (CPI) and PERS retirement rate increases, as allowed under the contract. Total maximum cost for FY 2008/09 is expected to be $3,983,281. C -151 Beginning in 2004/05, the
City entered into a contract with SJACS for animal services. This contract established an annual fee of $155,000 for the first three years, which then increases every three years by
the total of Bay Area Urban Wages CPI increases or the rise in personnel costs over the prior three years, whichever is less. The net increase was established at 9.75% effective with
the FY 2007/08 budget, which brought the annual contract amount to $170,113 for each of the next three years. 248
PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES Budgeted expenditures also include minor operational costs for data ticket forms and supplies, a new county admin fee for parking tickets,
and a $31,524 annual contract fee for the Cal ID program, which the San Jose Police Department administers. City staffing costs were eliminated from this program as City staff is limited
to oversight and coordination functions only. All operational and managerial duties are performed by the Sheriff’s Office. 2005/06 2006/07 2007/08 2007/08 2008/09 Actuals Actuals Adjusted

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS The City of Saratoga is responsible for coordinating emergency response efforts in the event of a significant earthquake, fire, natural or man-made disasters.
To prepare for this responsibility, City staff work in conjunction with the Sheriff’s Office, Santa Clara County (SCC) Fire and Saratoga Fire Districts to plan and prepare for emergency
situations. The City Emergency Operations Plan is reviewed annually and the document is updated as needed. An annual exercise is held to train staff in the activities associated with
the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) classes are offered through the Recreation Department with instructors from SCC Fire. The Saratoga Emergency
Preparedness Committee, made up of personnel from SCC Fire, Saratoga Fire, the Sheriff’s Office, SCC Office of Emergency Services, and the City’s Mayor, City Manager, and other City
staff meets once each year to discuss the City’s preparedness activities and confirm that Saratoga remains in compliance with State and Federal requirements for training and planning.
To increase self-sufficiency in the communities, SCC Fire provides Saratoga and its neighboring cities of Monte Sereno and Los Gatos with a full-time Emergency Preparedness Coordinator
to train City staff and community members on emergency preparedness. The Emergency Preparedness Coordinator develops the City’s Emergency Operations Plan and checklists; assists with
the formation of an EOC, trains City staff and the community in emergency preparedness; and plans and supervises drills and exercises. BUDGET OVERVIEW Revenue for this program is limited
to the Emergency Management Plan Grants (EMPG), which will total approximately $7,500 for FY 2008/09. The CERT grant funding that was received in prior years is now to be managed at
the County level. C -155 Operational expenditures for this program are minimal as City staffing costs were reallocated back to the City Manager’s Department, and the Emergency Preparedness
Coordinator managing this program is provided and fully funded by SCC Fire. Expenditures are primarily for training, meetings, and EMPG supplies. Notable EOC expenditures include a fee
of approximately $3,000 per year to ensure the City EOC telephone lines are restored on a priority basis in the event of a disaster or emergency situation, and $1,500 to fund service
for a County-supplied satellite telephone to sustain external emergency communications prior to cell phone or EOC telephone service restoration, and allocated internal service charges
for the SCC Fire staff’s building maintenance and IT services utilized in the City. Also, beginning in FY 2008/09, $13,500 is budgeted for the City’s annual contribution to the Silicon
Valley Regional Interoperability Project (SVRIP). The SVRIP is comprised of eighteen Santa Clara County jurisdictions, representing some thirty law enforcement, fire and emergency medical
services agencies which have formed a partnership to enhance inter-agency coordination and communication between the public safety agencies. As part of this emergency preparedness organization,
the City is required to participate in funding an executive director position effective July 1st. 252

NON-DEPARTMENTAL The Non-Departmental Section is a collection of programs which are independent of the City’s service functions, including the General Administration program, Legal Services,
Grants Program, Workers Compensation, the Risk Management/Liability program, 2001 Bond Debt Service, the Library Capital Maintenance Trust Fund, and the KSAR 15 Community Access Television
Trust Fund. These are all considered non-departmental as the programs represent functions outside of established service operations. The Non-Departmental section functions represent
citywide insurance (Liability Insurance and Workers Compensation), contracted legal services, non-operational funding programs for general administration purposes, grant funding to outside
agencies, debt service funding for the City’s 2001 General Obligation Bond to rebuild the City’s Library, and two Trust Funds. One administers the Library 2001 Series Bond’s remaining
funds set aside for capital improvement uses, and another Trust Fund which holds a portion of the Community Access Television Foundation’s money with the City’s investments. BUDGET OVERVIEW
The Non-Departmental Section accounts for the majority of the City’s revenues. Property Tax, Sales Tax, Transient Occupancy Tax, Business License Tax, Franchise Fees, Vehicle License
Fees, and other citybased General Fund revenues are accounted for within the General Administration Program in this section, as these revenues are allocated to the City and do not result
from direct departmental activities. It should be noted that the General Fund programs in this section includes prior year revenue and expenditure history for historical reference, if
the program activity occurred within the General Fund in prior years. For example, the City’s tax revenues were included in the Administrative Services Department in past years, but
are shown for reference purposes in prior years as General Administration revenues. Risk Management/Liability Insurance and Workers Compensation Insurance do not include past history
as these are Internal Service Fund programs, whereas they were previously included in the General Fund’s General Administration program. C -159 As the Non-Departmental programs are outside
of the administrative support or departmental service operations, staffing is limited to oversight of the citywide insurance programs within the Internal Service Funds. Staffing for
these programs are represented in the City Manager’s budget as the home department, but includes the FTE in the Non-Departmental insurance programs for funding. In addition, prior year
staffing reflect a pooling of temporary services in the General Administration program, which was more appropriately realigned to the specific operational programs the temporary staff
supports, effective as of the FY 2007/08 operating budget. 256

GENERAL ADMINISTRATION The General Administration program represents revenues and expenditures that are not specifically generated as a result of departmental operations. Tax Revenues,
Intergovernmental Revenues, Interest and Rental Income, and Operating Transfers-In are the primary non-service based revenue sources for the City, and accounts for approximately 70%
of the City’s Total General Fund Operating Revenues each year. General Administration expenditures are minimal in comparison, as program expenditures are limited to fund citywide general
expenses and internal service charges for general use areas or nondepartmental functions. BUDGET OVERVIEW The FY 2008/09 budgeted General Administration Tax Revenues include projected
increases in various Property Tax revenues; relatively flat Sales Tax, Transient Occupancy Tax, VLF, and Franchise Fee Tax Revenues, and a decrease in Business License Tax revenues due
to the struggling business economy. The General Administration program represents non-service functions, and as such, there are no staffing, objectives, or key services assigned to this
program. In prior years however, HR, Finance, and IT temporary clerical staffing was included in the program, therefore a staffing schedule is included to tie to salary history. The
budgeted expenses represent general expenses, such as retiree medical insurance reimbursements, the retiree insurance coverage and administration fees, unemployment insurance fees, printing
and postage charges for the Saratogan, funding for employee termination and retirement payouts, and several Internal Services charges which account for general public usage of the building
maintenance expenses, notably an allocation for the Civic Theater/Council Chambers and the Civic Center buildings. C -163 260

LEGAL SERVICES The City of Saratoga contracts with the firm Shute, Mihaly & Weinberger LLP to provide City Attorney services, advice, and representation on legal matters to ensure that
City actions and activities are legally sound. The City also contracts with the firm Wittwer & Parkin LLP, for land use/development attorney services. The City Attorney firms pursue
or defend the City in litigation matters, as directed by the City Council, manage litigation costs, and provide the City with a monthly status report of all outstanding litigation, case
updates, and potential lawsuits. The City Attorney reviews all proposed ordinances and resolutions requiring City Council action to ensure proper format and content, reviews staff reports
for reasoned and sound commentary, identifies policy options and alternatives, and provides direction, recommendations, and appropriate summaries consistent with Council requirements.
Additional contract city attorney services include review and recommendations on legislative issues, recommendations on environmental review requirements and preparation of environmental
review documents, review of bid requests, vendor contract documents, purchase and sale agreements, code enforcement matters, and the preparation and/or review of contractual agreements
with other agencies. The City Attorney, from the firm Shute, Mihaly & Weinberger LLP, attends the bi-monthly City Council meetings, and the Assistant City Attorney from the firm Wittwer
& Parkin LLP, attends the bi-monthly Planning Commission meetings as needed. BUDGET OVERVIEW FY 2008/09 revenues reflect reimbursements from various sources. Applicants who have development
applications in process under the former deposit fee development process will reimburse the City for legal services if the project utilizes attorney time for appeals in the Planning
Commission or City Council meetings. Reimbursements may also result from applicants requesting research and information from the City, or legal services related to environmental reviews
for Capital Improvement Plan projects. Budgeted revenues also reflect potential reimbursements that are linked to expenditures. Therefore, if legal services are not needed; the matching
expenditures will not be incurred. C -167 Budgeted expenditures are primarily comprised of regular on-going City Attorney services as listed above. The basic contract City Attorney services
amount increases each year based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) cost of living increase from the prior year. The budget also includes substantial reserves for potential litigation
expenditures, based on the City Attorney’s estimate of outstanding and future litigation. As the City Attorney occupies an office when on-site, a small allocation of building maintenance
internal service charges is also included. 264

COMMUNITY GRANTS The Community Grants program was established to consolidate the City’s grant support to outside agencies into one program, in order to provide a historical funding reference.
The program includes funding from the City as well as from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program’s allocation for Human Service grants. CDBG funding will be transferred
into this General Fund program for distribution. Community Grants are determined by Council each year, subsequent to requests for funding, primarily from various local community and
non-profit groups. BUDGET OVERVIEW For FY 2008/09, the City was provided with a total of $32,732 of CDBG funding for Human Service Grants, which the Council allocated to the Saratoga
Area Senior Coordinating Council (SASCC) for support of adult daycare services. The City supplemented the CDBG grant allocation with a City grant to meet the full request of $34,000,
along with the two other organizations requesting CDBG funding: West Valley Community Services will receive $15,164 for support of the low income assistance programs, and Catholic Charities
of San Jose will receive $5,000 to support the Long Term Care Ombudsman Program. Additional Community Service Grant Funding from the City includes operational support for the Saratoga
Historical Museum, the Silicon Valley Wildlife Center, and the United Way’s 211 program. The City also allocates grant funding to local organizations for services they provide to the
Saratoga community, including the Saratoga Chamber of Commerce for business support, the public access television station KSAR 15 for public information, and the SASCC for operational
support of the Senior Center and for additional services determined on an annual basis – which may include Blood Pressure Checks, Podiatric Checks, Tax Assistance, Vision Screening,
Hearing Tests, Senior Nutrition Programs, Fifty-Five Alive Driving Program, Flu Shots, and other non-cost-recovery services that are available to the senior population. The distribution
of grant funding for the both FY 2007/08 and 2008/09 is illustrated in the Grant Schedule on the following pages. The first column in each year represents the on-going amounts supported
by Council. The second column represents discretionary amount added for that year only, through Council direction. C -169 266

COMMUNITY EVENTS The Community Events program was established in the FY 2008/09 budget to consolidate the City’s provisions for community events into one program. This includes transferring
prior year funding for community events in the Community Grants program to this new Community Events program for historical reference. Community Events are promoted by the City in an
effort to build community. This occurs at many different levels, including events to celebrate holidays, such as the Fourth of July, Memorial Day, and Arbor Day, and general festive
celebrations, such as the Village Tree Lighting Ceremony, the Mustard Faire, and the Celebrate Saratoga/Taste of Saratoga events. The City also sponsors celebrations to honor segments
of the community, such as Month of the Child Celebration, and to highlight such occurrences as facility openings or trail groundbreakings in order to increase awareness of a new community
facility and o publicly thank supporters and contributors. BUDGET OVERVIEW For FY 2008/09, funding has been set aside for ongoing events, and for identified small events which were absorbed
within departmental budgets in prior years. While funding is quantified in expenditure dollars by event, a portion of the event funding may be accounted for in staff time throughout
the year. In particular, if staffing resources are utilized for the Mustard Faire and the Forth of July events, actuals may reflect staff time billings, in addition to materials, supplies,
and services. As this is the initial effort to capture all community event costs, $5,000 of funding was set aside for as-yet unspecified events, to be identified throughout the year.
The expenditure budget and distribution of community event funding is illustrated in the schedules on the following pages. C -173 270

RISK MANAGEMENT /LIABILITY FUND The City is a member of the Association of Bay Area Government (ABAG) insurance pool, a selfinsurance program established in 1986 which provides general
liability, auto, property insurance, and risk management services to thirty-one (31) cities within the Bay Area. Each member chooses a self-insured retention ranging from $25,000 to
$250,000, which is reflected in premium rates. The insurance pool pays claims up to a limit of $5 million. To provide further protection, the association purchases another $15 million
of excess insurance coverage, for a total of $20 million per occurrence limit. Coverage provides protection for Bodily Injury, Property Damage, Personal Injury, and Public Officials
Errors and Omissions claims, and minimizes the City’s exposure to losses as a result of City policy or actions. The City’s annual premium allows for a self coverage retention level of
$25,000 per occurrence. The City submits claim information to ABAG, and ABAG staff follows up with other parties and insurance firms, acting as the City’s insurance agent. In addition,
ABAG provides risk management policy guidelines to effectively identify and analyze risks, implement best practices to minimize risks, training, and grant incentives for safety programs.
BUDGET OVERVIEW The Risk Management/Liability Fund is an Internal Service Fund program which provides for the cost of the program to be fully offset with service charge-backs to the
departments. The charge-backs allow for the cost of the program to be allocated to the departments in order to fully recognize operational costs. For FY 2008/09, premium costs are budgeted
at $209,925, which represents an overall 4% increase from the FY 2007/08 estimated ABAG premium of $201,800. Fortunately, the City of Saratoga has an excellent claims history and lower
risks, keeping premium rates low. Additional program expenses include .25 FTE staffing for program administration, and funding for attorney services, membership and dues, reimbursed
training costs, claim expenditures, and one major claim deductible, totaling approximately $36,350. C -177 274

WORKERS COMPENSATION FUND The City is a member of the Association of Bay Area Government’s (ABAG) insurance pool for Workers’ Compensation coverage. The workers’ compensation program
provides insurance benefit coverage for an employee’s work-related illness and injuries. The Workers Compensation pool allows the City to share risk with other jurisdictions, as Saratoga
is too small to self-insure independently. ABAG’s shared risk pool has four members and is managed by a third party administrator, Gregory Bragg & Associates, to handle the day-to-day
workers’ compensation claims administration. The City self-insures through this pool up to $250,000, and belongs to the Local Agency Workers’ Compensation Excess (LAWCX) Joint Powers
Authority for the purpose of pooling for excess insurance. BUDGET OVERVIEW The annual revenue appropriation for this fund represents the service charge-back to the departments, based
on the program’s operational costs and the level of risk for the various job classifications. Program costs covered in the internal service rates include $230,000 for the various Workers
Compensation Insurance premium fees, such as administration, vocational rehabilitation, indemnity, medical, field investigations, and claims settlements. Another $22,400 is budgeted
for attorney services, training classes, supplies, and ergonomic evaluations. There is .05 FTE of the Human Resource Manager’s position budgeted for the administration of this program.

SERIES 2001 GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND DEBT SERVICE FUND The City of Saratoga’s General Obligation Bonds, Series 2001 (Saratoga Library Expansion Project) were issued by the City of Saratoga
pursuant to Chapter 4 of Division 4 of Title 4 of the California Government Code, and a resolution of the Saratoga City Council authorizing the issuance of the Bonds. The Bonds were
approved by more than two-thirds of the electors of the City voting at a general municipal election held on March 7, 2000. The Bonds were issued to improve, renovate, and expand the
Saratoga Community Library and to pay costs of the issuance of the Bonds. Bonds constitute general obligations of the City, and the vote to approve the bond authorized the establishment
of a property tax levy to provide funds for debt service payments. The property tax levy is added to Saratoga property owner’s annual property tax bill. The principal and interest on
the bonds is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing February 1, 2002, and ending ending August 1, 2031. Saratoga uses the Bank of New York Western Trust Company
as its fiscal agent to administer the debt servicing of the bonds. To ensure compliance with IRS Code and US Treasury Obligations, NBS Government Services will provide services related
to arbitrage rebate calculations and consulting services. NBS will also assist in compliance with the annual disclosure regulations of the SEC continuing disclosure Rule 15c.2-12. BUDGET
OVERVIEW The FY 2008/09 budget reflects the estimated total of the Saratoga property owners’ FY 2008/09 property tax levy which is collected along with their annual property taxes. This
levy is offset with a slight underfunding of the annual debt service to utilize a portion of the fund balance along the life of the loan. A reserve is maintained in this fund to provide
for late or non-payments of property tax levies and to ensure cash is available in the fund for bond payments prior to tax levy receipts.. The fund balance is reduced minimally each
year, and will be fully eliminated at the close of the bond debt service in 2031. C -185 282

LIBRARY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT TRUST FUND The Library Capital Improvement Trust Fund accounts for the remaining bond proceeds from the sale of the 2001 Library General Obligation Bonds.
These Trust Fund monies are not City funds; the City merely acts in a fiduciary capacity to administer the use of these funds in accordance with the bond issuance. The Library Bond passed
by voters in March 2000 specified the bond’s proceeds be used to improve, renovate, and expand the Saratoga Community Library and to pay costs of the issuance of the bonds. Funds cannot
be used for annual maintenance, administrative expenses, furniture, fixtures, library equipment, or staffing costs. With bond funds remaining after the Library Building renovation was
completed, bond counsel clarified that the remaining funds could be used for improvements to the Library building or site with a life of more than a year. A Citizen’s Oversight Committee
was required by the bond measure to ensure that Library renovation and expansion funds are used in accordance with the intention of the voters. After the building was primarily completed,
the Citizen’s Oversight Committee was disbanded. In FY 2006/07, the Library Commission accepted the duties of the Citizen’s Oversight Committee as part of the Library Commission function.
These duties require the review and approval of staff’s proposed capital improvement projects and contract costs, for budget approval by the City Council. BUDGET OVERVIEW The FY 2008/09
budget reflects anticipated interest earnings of $19,500, and estimated project expenditures of $50,000. The Library Commission approved staff’s recommendations to budget the following
capital maintenance projects: • $20,000 for lighting improvements • $20,000 for lobby & café improvements • $10,000 for project contingency funds The City’s Facilities Manager provides
project oversight and coordination of these planned projects as the Library is a City owned building, and expects to finalize the identified projects in FY 2008/09, with the contingency
contingency funds utilized only on an as needed basis, with approval from the Library Commission. C -189 286

KSAR COMMUNITY ACCESS TELEVISION TRUST FUND The KSAR Community Access Television (CATV) Trust Fund accounts for funds deposited with the City by the CATV Foundation Board, and held in
trust for investment purposes. The CATV funds on deposit are included in the City’s investment portfolio, and accrue interest at the same rate as the rest of the City’s deposits, but
are not considered City Funds. BUDGET OVERVIEW The FY 2008/09 budget reflects revenues received under the new State based cable contracts which allocates 1% of cable revenues to the
local community public television foundation. In Saratoga, both Comcast and AT&T provide cable services to the community. AT&T is already under the State’s 1% allocation rule, whereas
Comcast’s current contract does not expire until September 30, 2008. As a result, Comcast franchise fee budgeted revenues represent only ¾ of the fiscal year. Franchise Fee revenues
are expected to provide almost $40,000 in FY 2008/09. In addition, KSAR receives 1% of AT&T’s Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) fees, which is expected to bring in about $1,000. In
addition to the revenues, interest earnings based on fund balance and current interest rates is expected to bring in approximately $2,000 over the next year. As these Franchise Fee revenues
are expected to be a major funding source for KSAR over the next year, the full amount of KSAR’s revenue earnings of $42,500 is budgeted for withdrawal (as needed) in FY
2008/09, for transfer to their operations account. C -191 288

Capital Improvement Plan PROGRAM PURPOSE The City of Saratoga’s FY 2008/09 – 2012/13 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) represents an ongoing process through which the City identifies, prioritizes,
and develops a multi-year plan for major capital expenditures and their associated funding sources, to improve and maintain the City of Saratoga’s roadways, parks, facilities, and other
infrastructure. Generally CIP improvements are major expenditures that have a multi-year life, and result in becoming City assets. As a city is comprised of various types of infrastructure,
the CIP is structured under four separate program areas, in which projects are categorized by infrastructure type. This includes a Streets Program, and Parks & Trails Program, a Facilities
Program, and an Administrative Improvements Program. The discrete program areas allow for further sub-classifications of projects the City is undertaking, and the tracking of resources
expended for these purposes. The four program areas are structured as follows: follows: • Streets Program – includes projects which develop and maintain the City’s roadway system to
provide safe and efficient traffic flows while minimizing traffic movement and noise through residential neighborhoods; street lighting for traffic safety at intersections and throughout
public streets; infrastructure development and maintenance of street surfaces, storm drain systems, curbs, gutters and sidewalks; and roadway landscaping to maintain the quality streetscapes
of the Saratoga community. Gas Tax Fund revenues and Road Impact Fees are dedicated funding sources for the Streets Program, with revenues of approximately $1 million per year. Funding
for projects may also come from prior year General Fund savings, from development projects requiring mitigation of impacts, from partnerships with other jurisdictions, or from federal,
state, and local grants as either part of a statewide initiative or through grant applications based on specific City projects. • Parks & Trails Program -includes projects projects to
develop and improve parks and sport fields, park structures, trails, the city plaza, and citywide tree planting. Dedicated funding for the Parks Program includes a Park Development Fee
collected when development subdivides lots, and from Tree Fines collected from un-permitted or illegal tree removals. Funding may also come from prior year General Fund savings, from
grants and park bond funds, and from donations. Park projects may, on occasion, include community volunteer services for minor construction and clean-up projects. D -1 • Facilities Program
-includes projects for purchasing, constructing or making capital repairs to City buildings, structures, and equipment. City buildings include the Civic Center and Chamber/Theater Building,
the Senior/Community Center and auxiliary structures, the Corporation Yard and structures, the North Campus, the Historical Buildings including the Saratoga Museum, the McWilliams House,
and the Book-Go-Round. There is no designated funding for this program, and any allocations generally come from General Fund prior year savings or grant funds applied to qualified improvements,
such as Community Development Block Grant funds for ADA improvements. 290
?? CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN ?? • Administrative Improvements Program – includes projects which provide operational efficiencies and improvements in the administration of City services.
Administrative Improvement projects are typically major expenditures for new systems or system upgrades, new technology equipment or services, and non-recurring operational improvement
projects. Revenues for administrative projects may come from the City’s Internal Service Replacement Funds, from grants, or from prior year General Fund savings. PROGRAM PROCESS The
City’s standard definition of a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) project is for the construction, acquisition, rehabilitation, or non-routine maintenance work that generally costs $25,000
or more with a minimum useful life of 5 years at a fixed location. The CIP endeavours to identify all capital improvements needed within the next five years, with cost estimates based
on current year dollars. Estimates for carryover projects are updated as necessary to a recent estimates based upon current design specifications. Equipment, operating, and maintenance
costs incurred as an outcome of CIP projects are to be identified and included in the operating budget. Under direction from the City Manager, the Public Works Department took the lead
in the preparation of the projects for consideration in the current Capital Improvement Plan. In coordination with other departments, proposed capital improvement projects and funding
sources are reviewed to ensure the City’s priorities are addressed, and the proposed CIP budget is then presented to the Planning Commission to ensure that the projects are consistent
with the City’s General Plan. Upon the Planning Commission’s approval, the CIP is presented to the City Council for direction and approval. The FY 2008/09 update of the CIP budget reflects
the City’s capital projects plan and current status, with budgeted revenues and estimated unexpended fund balances at the beginning of the fiscal year. D -2 291
Streets Program The Capital Improvement Plan’s Streets Program provides for a safe and functional roadway and pedestrian street system. Projects within the Street Program are classified
by their primary scope of work into five project categories: • Street Repair & Resurfacing Projects • Roadway Safety Improvements • Landscape & Beautification Improvements • Sidewalks,
Curbs & Storm Drains • Bridge & Retaining Wall Projects Street Repair & Resurfacing Projects – consist of projects which primarily repave and improve roadway surfaces. Projects include
a general resurfacing project that provides annual funding for neighborhood, collector, and arterial street improvements on a priority basis. Funding is added to the ongoing project
each year as available. Individual Street Repair & Resurfacing projects may be set up when specific roadway grants are provided for specifically identified bodies of work. Roadway Safety
Improvements – include projects that improve roadway safety factors. Projects include a general Traffic Safety project for small items directed by the Traffic Safety Commission; ADA
projects for accessibility enhancements such as curb ramps and audible signals; railroad crossing improvements, radar feedback signs, and larger safety projects such as the bicycle and
pedestrian safety improvements made to Highway 9. Landscape & Beautification Improvements – is a category for projects which improve the visual component of streets. This includes projects
for median landscape improvements, city entrance signs, tree lighting, sidewalk furniture and accessories such as trash receptacles and news rack stands. Sidewalk, Curbs & Storm Drains
– is comprised of sidewalk improvements and repair projects, curb, gutter, and storm drain improvements, and pedestrian improvement projects. These projects are both general and specific,
depending on funding sources. Bridge & Retaining Wall Projects – contain projects that repair, replace, or rehabilitate a deficient bridge structure or a retaining wall structure. Bridge
structures falls under the guidance of federal and state regulations, and are often funding by these regulatory agencies, such as Caltrans or the Federal Highway Bridge Replacement and
Rehabilitation Program (HBBR). The schedule on the following page lists the City’s FY 2008/09 Streets Program capital projects and their currently funded status. D -3 292

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: May 21, 2008 AGENDA ITEM: DEPARTMENT: City Manager CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson PREPARED BY: Richard Taylor DIRECTOR: Dave Anderson ____________________________
SUBJECT: Approval of an ordinance regarding supervision by parent or guardian of alcoholic beverage possession or consumption by persons under twenty-one and imposing a fee for the costs
of providing a second police response to public disturbances. RECOMMENDED ACTION: ?? Introduce and waive the first reading of the attached ordinance regarding supervision of certain
social gatherings and cost recovery for public disturbances requiring a second police response and direct staff to place the matter on the consent calendar at the next City Council meeting.
BACKGROUND: A number of jurisdictions in Santa Clara County have been reviewing and updating their codes with respect to rules applying to parental responsibility for supervision of
underage drinking and cost recovery for public disturbances requiring a second police police response. These issues are currently addressed in sections 6-15.120 and 6-15.130 of the Saratoga
City Code. In the interest of promoting a uniform standard in the region, this report recommends minor amendments to the City Code to ensure that it conforms to other codes in the area.
DISCUSSION: The City Code contains provisions that require any person under the age of 21 to be supervised by his or her parent or guardian when possessing or consuming alcoholic beverages
and prohibit social gatherings where persons under the age of 21 possessing or consuming alcoholic beverages are not supervised by their parents. In addition, the Code authorizes the
City to collect the costs of a second police response to a disturbance that is a threat to the public peace, health, safety or general welfare. The attached ordinance would make minor
amendments to the City Code to bring it in conformity to comparable provisions in the Los Gatos and Monte Sereno Codes. This would help avoid confusion as to the standards applicable
to social gatherings in the area. 300
2 FISCAL IMPACT: Although the current code authorizes cost recovery, by adopting provisions comparable to other jurisdictions in the area the amendments could streamline efforts to collect
costs incurred in connection with second police responses. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: The Code would not be amended. ALTERNATIVES: Santa Clara County is considering
a comparable ordinance that would address a broader array of disturbances. The ordinance is under discussion and is expected to be considered by the Board of Supervisors this summer.
The City could wait and conform its ordinance to the form ultimately adopted by the County. FOLLOW-UP ACTIONS: Place ordinance on consent calendar at next regular Council meeting. ATTACHMENTS:

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: May 21, 2008 AGENDA ITEM: DEPARTMENT: Public Works CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson PREPARED BY: John Cherbone DIRECTOR: John Cherbone Public Works Director
Public Works Director SUBJECT: Relocation of Coast Live Oak Tree from the Heritage Orchard to West Valley College RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept report and provide direction to staff. REPORT
SUMMARY: Background At the March 20, 2002, City Council Meeting, Council directed that a Coast Live Oak Tree be relocated from the Heritage Orchard to the Gateway to be planted at the
corner of Saratoga-Sunnyvale and Prospect Roads (See Attached 2002 Staff Report and Minutes). Subsequently, when the bids were received for the Gateway Improvement Project, it was determined
that relocation of the oak tree to the Gateway would be cost prohibitive due to low hanging PG&E wires at various locations along the relocation route that would have to be moved. More
recently, West Valley College indicated that as part of their Campus Improvement Plan they would fund the relocation of the oak tree to the campus to be the signature tree for their
new main entrance improvement project. Discussion Because a previous City Council approved the relocation of the tree, staff requests that this City Council provide direction to staff
about whether relocation is still desired. The Heritage Preservation Commission discussed this issue at their last regular meeting and recommended that if the Council decided to relocate
the oak tree, that a plaque be erected memorializing the tree by indicating that it came from the City’s Heritage Orchard. West Valley College has agreed to do this. Page 1 of 2 305
Page 2 of 2 West Valley College is scheduled to present plans aimed at improving access to the College to the Council during the Presentation Section of this agenda. The proposed improvements
include modifications to their main Fruitvale and Allendale Avenue entrances, landscape median improvements on Fruitvale, and the proposed location of the Heritage Orchard oak tree,
if relocation is approved. FISCAL IMPACTS: If the City Council decides to relocate the oak tree, new fruit trees will be planted to fill the void and irrigation will be installed. The
cost for this work will be approximately $1,500, which can be funded out of the Public Works Department without any amendments to the existing budget. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED
ACTION: N/A. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: None in addition to the above. FOLLOW UP ACTION: If the City Council directs staff to have the oak tree relocated to West Valley College, staff will
work with the College to ensure that the tree is prepared for relocation as specified in a report prepared by Barrie Coates. ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT: Nothing additional.

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE:
May 21, 2008 AGENDA ITEM: DEPARTMENT: Public Works CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson PREPARED BY: Kristin Borel DIRECTOR: John Cherbone Public Works Analyst SUBJECT: Bus Shelter Feasibility
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive report and provide direction to staff. REPORT SUMMARY: The Mayor asked staff to research information pertaining to the feasibility of installing covered bus
shelters in the City. The Santa Clara County Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) was contacted in an effort to obtain information for covered bus shelters with advertising versus covered
bus shelters without advertising. Also contacted was Clear Vision, the advertising company the VTA has contracted with to provide the shelters. The VTA presently has a contract with
Clear Vision for the installation and maintenance of the bus shelters. The contract will expire in eighteen months, and according to the company no new agreements for shelters will be
accepted under this contract. VTA plans to conduct an RFP for the next contract and the City can then apply with the new company to discuss options and locations for new bus shelters,
if it decides to do so. Some of the criteria for consideration in the program includes; traffic volume, bus ridership and proximity to commercial areas. VTA indicated that they did not
consider locations close to schools because of the increased maintenance cost due to vandalism. If the City were to enter into the program, an assessment of possible locations would
be undertaken with the new company. Under the current contract is a provision stating that 75% percent of the shelters installed in a jurisdiction are required to have advertising and
25% are not required to have advertising. Clear Vision shares the advertising revenue with the City, the minimum amount being $50.00 per month per shelter, and will be adjusted upwards
with anticipated increases in exposure and traffic volume. It is important to note that the bus shelters at the Kerful Cleaners and the Argonaut Center were custom built and are not
offered through the VTA program. Attachment 1 contains photos of a typical shelter with advertising. If the City were to consider applying for bus shelters under the VTA program, the
City would need to make site improvements for the bus stops. Concrete pads and electricity (a proposed project in the CIP) would need to be brought to the site before VTA would consider
the stops Page 1 of 2 312
