He reported that on June 6, 2000 the Library Expansion Committee met with some architectural firms and they suggested 2 (two) changes to the RFP. First, instead of a RFP change it to a RFQ. The firms feel that the Committee's decision should be based on qualifications and not on the bid proposal.

They claim it is a liability issue for them. Mr. Norton continued to explain that the Library Expansion Committee does not want to change the original RFP but would like the Council to make the decision.

Council did not make a motion nor was there any action taken. • NEW BUSINESS 7. WWII MEMORIAL -REQUEST FOR $25,000.00 TO FUND MEMORIAL. RECOMMENDED ACTION: The Council approve funding up to $3,000.00. Bill Norton, Interim City Manager presented staff report. He explained that he received 9 City Council Minutes June 7, 2000 a letter from Dr. Waiton requesting $25,000.00 to help build a memorial. He would like to suggest that the City approve up to $3000.00 if local citizens will match that amount. Councilmember Waltonsmith feels it is a worthy idea but requests a time frame on the collection of funds from residents. Mr. Norton suggested 2 months. Councilmember Baker strongly supports the memorial and he will be the first to donate. He also suggested that the City start getting the information out to the residents. Perhaps at the Saratoga Hometown Celebration information could be passed out with all the pertinent information regarding the memorial and who to send the donation to.

Paula Reeve, Senior Analyst suggested putting an advertisement in the Saratoga News, KSAR, and on the City's Website.

The flyers were sent out in bulk mail which turns out could be delayed. Next time he will send them out with the regular postage. Mayor Bogosian asked Mr. Couchee if during the next cleanup could large bulky items be added to the list. Mr. Couchee informed the Council that currently a resident can call Waste Management and schedule a bulky item pick up but if the Council would like to add that to the list for next year it could be arranged for a minor charge and will come to the Council with a list of fees. Councilmember Waltonsmith was concerned about the noticing.

APPROVAL OF REQUEST FROM LION'S CLUB TO FUND TWO SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES FOR JULY 4TH SARATOGA HOMETOWN CELEBRATION. RECOMMENDED ACTION: That Council approve request. Chris Korn, Administrative Analyst presented staff report. He explained to Council that in the past the Lion's Club was able to raise sufficient funds to cover the expenses of this event including; bussing, port-a-potties, an Astrojump, miscellaneous programming and two Sheriff's Deputies. Unfortunately, due to lack of funds the Lion's are requesting the City of Saratoga cover the cost of one overtime Deputy at $530.00 for 5 hours. Councilmember Waltonsmith asked if they are planning on refunding the money to the City if Council approves request. Marlene Duffin, President/Lion's Club responded to Councilmember Waltonsmith explaining that the money would not be refunded to the City. Mayor Bogosian supports the request but asked Ms. Duffin not to come back next year with the same request. Ms. Duffin responded to the Mayor's request indicating that this would be a one-time request. She noted that next year they would have more money in their budget to cover law enforcement services from the money collected from $1.00 admission fee from the shuttle. STREIT moved to approve request to fund law enforcement services for the Saratoga Hometown Celebration, seconded by MEHAFFEY and carried unanimously. 12. CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST SUBMITTED BY SARATOGA PARENT NURSERY SCHOOL FOR FEE WAIVER FOR lOK RUN FUND RAISER. RECOMMENDED ACTION: That Council deny request. Chris Korn, Administrative Analyst presented staff report. He explained to the Council that the SPNS are a private non-profit organization. They are asking the City to waive fees of $350.00, co-sign liability insurance, apply for Cal-trans permit and the Public Works Department to mark the course using City owned barricades. The group originally wanted a l Ok run but amended their request to a Sk run which has less of an impact on the flow of traffic. Mr. Korn indicated that Karen Amon, Parent/Race Director was present tonight to respond to any questions that Council might have. . Ms. Amon noted that they would like to hold the race on the morning of July 5, 2000 trying to link it to Saratoga Hometown Celebration. She asked the Council to waive the fee and cover the school under the City's ABAG plan. 12 City Council Minutes June 7, 2000 • Mayor Bogosian indicated he saw no connection to Saratoga Hometown Celebration and questioned Ms. Amon on issues such as first aid, communication, and traffic control. He also feels that if we waive fees for Saratoga Parent Nursery School the City would receive more requests from other groups requesting similar financing. Ms. Amon explained that they would have volunteers at every intersection and 50 Ham radio operators. Councilmember Baker asked for an estimated cost to the City. Kris Korn indicated that the fee waiver of $100.00, clean up deposit of $250.00, the cost of City employees on an overtime basis for setup & cleanup (which he did not calculate yet) and $1 million in liability insurance in which a $25,000.00 deductible per occurrence would be implemented. Mayor Bogosian noted that if no one was hurt the cost to the City would be minimal but if something were to happen that would be $25,000.00 the City would have to pay. Councilmember Waltonsmith questioned Ms. Amon about adding a rider to the schools existing insurance. Ms. Amon said it would be about $1300.00 additional to cover the race, which the school doesn't have. The money raised from the race will go towards remodeling the school. Councilmember Waltonsmith wouldn't mind funding the $1,300.00 fee to pay for their insurance so all the liability is on the school not the City. Councilmember Mehaffey indicated that he is not willing to support the added liability imposed on the City if we supply the school with insurance. Councilmember Streit thinks the race is a great idea and understands how hard it is to raise money for private organizations but also has concerns about the liability on the City. Bill Norton, Interim City Manager explained to Council that in order for the SPNS to advertise their event, a decision was needed tonight. Mr. Norton suggested that Council conditionally approve the request directing staff to make sure the issue of liability is covered through the school's own insurance policy. Mayor Bogosian explained he would support the fee waiver but the school would have to cover the City's deductible with their own insurance. 13 City Council Minutes June 7, 2000 MEHAFFEY moved to approve requests to co-sponsor the event and provide financial assistance; waive the $250.00 clean up deposit fee; waive the $100.00 permit fee; with the proviso that the Saratoga Parent Nursery School provide insurance to cover the $25,000.00 insurance deductible and the City will cover beyond that using ABAG, seconded by WALTONSMITH and carried with Baker abstaining. 13. ADDED URGENCY ITEM: LANDSCAPING & LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT LLA-1 PUBLIC HEARING APPROVAL OF ENGINEER'S REPORT AND CONFIRMATION OF ASSESSMENTS FOR FY 00-O1. RECOMMENDED ACTION: That Council move to adopt resolution amending Resolution 00-023 to postpone the public hearing to June 21, 2000. John Cherbone, Acting Director of Public Works presented the staff report. He explained to Council that on April 19, 2000 Council approved Resolution 00-023, setting the public hearing date for June 21, 2000, did not include the approval of the Engineer's Report, and because of the turnover in the Clerk's Office noticing of the hearing was not done. STREIT moved to amend Resolution 00-023 setting the public hearing for LLA-1 on June 21, 2000, seconded by WALTONSMITH and carried unanimously. CITY COUNCIL ITEMS Councilmember Baker inquired about the status on a packet that Council received regarding the use of portable classrooms at the St. Andrews School. Bill Norton, Interim City Manager responded that staff is still working on that and would have a response in about a week. Councilmember Streit thanked Bill Norton and John Cherbone for their prompt response in their clean up efforts on the trash pile up in the Heritage Orchard.
