Clerk SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: Apri123, 2004 AGENDA ITEM: ORIGINATING DEPT: Administrative Services CITY MANAGER: '~~~ PREPARED BY: Jesse Balo~ DEPT HEADY-~ i SUBJECT: Projected FY 2004/05 Budget. RECOMMENDED ACTION(S): To provide staff direction on balancing the FY 2004/05 proposed budget. REPORT SUMMARY: Staff has currently prepared a draft FY 2004/05 budget that incorporates conservative assumptions known to-date. Again, the budget is a lean operating budget that continues similar assumption already incorporated in the FY 2003/04 budget. These carryover assumptions include the following: a continued hiring freeze on vacant positions, reduction of major capital equipment purchases, a limit to the growth of the capital improvement program, and a continuation of across the board reductions to vazious City programs. Revenue are anticipated to grow from $8.2 to $8.9 million or 8.6%, which primarily reflects the full return of the motor vehicle license fee, a 6.2% growth in property taxes that is offset by the Governor's proposed ERAF shift of $156k, the cash flow constraints of the triple-flip process, and a flat assumption for sales tax growth. Expenditures as conservatively prepared primarily reflect the following: • Conservative increase of salazies and benefits that incorporates: o Impact of PERS that reflect an added 4.35% employee contribution o Nominal increase to reflect the current employee negotiation process o Continued increase in medical and workers compensation • An increase to the cost of providing current law enforcement services from $3 million to $3.5 million, which primarily reflects a PERS cost increase of 20%, 7% rise in the cost of health benefits, a 3.5% salary increase, and an increase to the cost of workers compensation. • Staff maternity leave $26k • Elections cost of $65k • Increase to liability insurance premiums $15k • Increase to MIS maintenance fees $18k • Capital purchases are significantly reduced from the prior year and include only $16k for the cost of two A/C units. As part of the final stages for developing the initial proposed budget, staff has developed various options for balancing the proposed General Fund budget while again, leaving the Operating and Economic Uncertainty Reserves intact. By July 1, 2004, the Operating Reserve is anticipated to grow from $2.367 million to $2.4 million and the Economic Uncertainty is to remain at $1.5 million. Staff has developed the following options for balancing the City's general fund budget, which will continue to maintain a positive to the undesignated reserve balance, and is seeking further Council direction. Option 1: This assumes the full cost of the Sheriff's proposed budget to maintain the same level of service, estimated at $3.5 million. This option provides leaves the City with an operating deficit of $667k, which is resolved from using one-time reserves. This use of one-time reserves creates a positive net of operations of $99k and grows the undesignated reserve from $383k to $484k Option 2: This provides the Sheriff s office with a 5 percent credit above the current FY 2003/04 budget and provides for a School Resource Officer or DARE Officer and eliminates the Traffic Officer. Without any use of reserves, net of operations would is projected at a negative $310 but with a positive undesignated reserve of $73k. Option 3: This provides a 5% credit to the Sheriff s office including the provision of a Traffic Officer while eliminating the SRO and DARE Officer. The operations are nearly balanced by utilizing one- half ofthe available reserves plus the annual net cash flow amount for each reserve type. The undesignated slightly falls from $383k to $341k. Option 4: This provides the Sheriff s office with a 5 percent credit above the current FY 2003/04 budget and allows for the provision of a School Resource Officer or DARE Officer and eliminates the Traffic Officer (similar to option 2) while also utilizing one-third of the available reserves plus the annual net cash flow for each reserve type. 2 of 3 GeneralFUnd Undesignated Resources Projected June 30, 2005 (in thousands) Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Option 4 Beginning Undesignated, July 1, 2004 $383 $383 $383 $383 Revenues 8,916 Expenditures (indudes Sheriffs Office) (7,609) Operating Transfers (1,974) Net of Operation (before adjust) (667) (667) (667) (667) (667) Adjustments to Expenditures: Sheriffs budget less 5% increase over 2003/04 357 217 357 Adjustment to Resources: Transfer of COPS Fund Bal. 302 152 136 Transfer of PERS Reserve 140 70 46 Traffic Safety Reserve 324 186 139 Net of Operations 99 (310) (42) 11 Undesignated, June 30, 2005 $492 $73 $341 $394 FISCAL IMPACTS: To be determined by above.

City of Saratoga Community Development Department MEMORANDUM TO: Thomas Sullivan, AICP Community Development Director FROM: Brad Lind, Building Official DATE: April 16, 2004 SUBJECT: Building Permit Valuation Building Permit and Plan Checking fees collected by the Building Department are based on the value or valuation of a construction project. The California Building Code (Section 107.2) states: "The determination of value or valuation under any of the provisions of this code shall be made by the Building Official. The value to be used in computing the building permit and building plan review fees shall be the total value of all construction work for which the permit is issued, as well as all finish work, • painting, roofing, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, elevators, fire extinguishing systems and any other permanent equipment Typically, valuation is determined using a dollar per squaze foot multiplier. The current dollar per square foot multiplier for new houses and habitable space additions was recently increased from $175 per square foot to $200 per square foot. This valuation multiplier is increased as construction costs rise, generally on asemi-annually or quarterly basis. Per your request, I have reviewed the `assessed improvement values' of recently constructed single-family dwellings to determine a valuation that accurately reflects construction within the City of Saratoga. The assessed improvement values for ten new single-family dwellings were examined using data supplied by the County of Santa Clara Assessor's Office. The houses were chosen at random and included projects in various locations throughout the City. The average improvement value for the ten houses was $250.80 per squaze foot. Each quarter I will conduct representarive sampling and make adjustments to the valuation multiplier as needed so that the value per squaze foot stays current. Based on 65 new homes per year, the adjustment of the valuation up to $250 per square foot should add approximately $162,500 in building permit fees. , r~ U Supporting Data C~ 13995 Alta Vista Avenue 18907 Hayfield Court 397-28-060 397-24-089 Permit 00-2189 Permit 99-0199 Improvement Value: $1,480,000 Improvement Value: $1,500,000 Square Footage: 4804 Square Footage: 4714 Value per square foot: $308 Value per square foot: $318 13201 Montrose Avenue 18150 Rodeo Creek Hollow 389-16-015 503-82-004 Permit 00-4185 Permit 00-4072 Improvement Value: $1,200,000 Improvement Value: $1,326,000 Square Footage: 5376 Square Footage: 4827 Value per square foot: $223 Value per squaze foot: $274 14361 Paul Avenue 20199 Franklin Avenue 503-21-110 393-39-011 Permit 99-2110 Permit 00-2210 Improvement Value: $800,000 Improvement Value: $4,810,000 Square Footage: 3940 Square Footage: 2664 Value per squaze foot: $203 Value per square foot: $304 18175 Rodeo Creek Hollow 18000 Rodeo Creek Hollow 503-52-005 503-82-001 Permit 00-4056 Permit 00-2836 Improvement Value: $1,000,000 Improvement Value: $1,428,000 Square Footage: 5145 Square Footage: 5953 Value per square foot: $194 Value per squaze foot: $239 12811 Pierce Road 14351 Paul Avenue 503-18-059 503-21-111 Permit 00-4224 Permit 99-2108 Improvement Value: $1,550,000 Improvement Value: $800,000 Squaze Footage: 6387 Square Footage: 3940 Value per square foot: $242 Value per square foot: $203 Note: The Rodeo Creek Hollow homes were each built by different contractors. • • BUILDING PERMIT AND PLAN CHECK FEES COMPARISONS BASED ON VALUATIONS Example 1: 500 square foot addition to asingle-family dwelling Valuation: $175 per square foot Plan check fee $591.34 500 x $175 = $87,500 Building Permit 909.75 $1501.09 Valuation: $200 per square foot Plan check fee $645.94 500 x $200 = $100,000 Building Permit 943.75 $1,639.69 Valuation: $250 per square foot Plan check fee $736.94 500 x $250 = $125,000 Building Permit 1133.75 $1,870.69 Valuation: $300 per square foot Plan check fee $827.94 500 x $300 = $15Q000 Building Permit 1273.75 $2,101.69 • Example 2: 5000 square foot new single-family dwelling Valuation: $175 per square foot Plan check fee $3,259.75 5000 x $175 = $675,000 Building Permit 5 O1S.00 $8,274.75 Valuation: $200 per squaze foot Plan check fee $3,645.69 5000 x $200 = $1,000,000 Building Permit 5 608.75 $9,254.44 Valuation: $250 per square foot Plan check fee $4,238.81 5000 x $250 = $1,250,000 Building Permit 6 521.25 $10,760.06 Valuation: $300 per squaze foot Plan check fee $4,831.94 5000 x $300 =1,500,000 Building Permit 7 433 75 $12,265.69 • Administrative Services Department City of Saratoga April 22, 2004 Memorandum To: Mayor and Council Members From: Jesse Baloca, Administrative Services Directo~ Re: Development Services Budget In an effort to maintain fund balance of the Development Services Fund at sustainable levels, various types of new revenues have been proposed. The attached worksheet highlights the new fees that have been implemented and the additional options that are proposed to maintain a fund balance level of $729k. Although net operations continue to decline slightly, the greatest cause is that a significant amount of the development services tasks are spent on non-billable work. Please also refer to the attached information provided by Tom Sullivan, Community Development Director. Thank you.

The public counter is open approximately five hours per day and is staffed by one to two planners depending upon the demand. This equates to approximately 135 hours per month that is not spent on billable time. We currently bill at a rate of $41.251hour and add 32% for city overhead. This single function equates to $7,350 per month that cannot be transferred from deposits to the Development fund. For this fiscal year to date we have only billed an averaged about 160 hours of Staff time per month or about 24% of the Planner's time. Additionally, time spent attending mandatory training events, time spent going to other meetings, time spent as Commission liaisons, updating zoning codes and General Plan elements and general department administration. Too little of the Planner's time is spent doing development review. The real irony is that the better the planner does in assisting a developer in preapplication consultation the quicker the development review goes which means fewer dollars get transferred into the Development fund from the deposit. Close to half of the applications that are received are called "Over-the- Counter'. No fee is currently charged for this. Clearly, this needs to change. I propose that we establish the following: 1. An "Over the Counter" Zone Clearance Fee fixed at $500. This fee would be collected with the submittal of the plans. Based on the past two years this fee will generate $63,000 per year. The next level up in project size is Administrative Design Review, which has a deposit of $1,500. If a single story addition is less than 50% of the existing dwelling it is approved "over the counter." These are not small projects for the most part. Even swimming pools in Saratoga are fairly involved. Knowing that an application fee is being collected more time will be spent and a better review accomplished. 2. A Departmental Overhead Fee that captures the cost of Administration. The add on percentage would be adjusted annually with the adoption of the budget much like the Citywide Overhead charge to Departments is adjusted based on the actual budget. I need help determining this fee. Y 3. Time spent on General Plan and Zoning Code Updates needs to be made part of the equation also. Since we are not doing a comprehensive update of either document the effort will be ongoing. Typically, the cost of a full time Associate Planner can be charged to updating General Plan Elements. City and Departmental overhead needs to be added to the salary and benefit cost. I have taken the lead in updating the various Zoning and Subdivision sections. I spend about one-third of my time doing this. 4. A Counter Work charge that is automatically deducted from the deposit upon application. This fee would be equal to 10% of the deposit. There still will be counter time (or cost) that is associated with answering questions by from the general public. The chart below gives you a pretty good idea how the Planners time is used.

PUBLIC HEARINGS 3. APPEAL OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION TO CONDITIONALLY APPROVE DESIGN REVIEW APPLICATION NO. 03- 269 TO CONSTRUCT A 302.5 SQUARE FOOT ADDITION TO A HOME AT 14403 SOBEY ROAD STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Conduct public hearing and adopt resolution upholding the Planning Commission's decision. John Livingstone, Associate Planner, presented staff report. Planner Livingstone explained on February 25, 2004 the Planning Commission approved a 302.5 squaze foot addition to a home with the condition that the existing perimeter fencing -including but not limited to the stucco wall base with wrought iron, iron gates and trellis - be brought into compliance with the City Code Section 15-29 and other codes prior to final inspection approval. Planner Livingstone explained that the applicant is now appealing condition of approval #1 and would like to obtain approval for the 302.5 square foot addition, and maintain the existing perimeter wall with wrought iron above, iron gates and trellis. Planner Livingstone briefly explained the background of the project. Councilmember Streit asked if the City could prove that the fence wasn't built prior to 1987. Planner Livingstone replied that the City had one building permit on file that approved a aft wall. Councilmember Streit asked if there has been any complaints from the neighbors. Planner Livingstone replied that there have never been any complaints regarding the fence. Bill Gates noted that he represented the Ashjay family located at 14403 Sobey Road. Mr. Gates stated that he was present tonight to request that the permit be approved with out the condition attached. Mr. Gates stated that there are three important things to point out to the Council this evening, reasons they feel the fence should not be changed: 14403 Sobey Road is not a reverse comer lot -the fence requirement not exceeding 3 feet doesn't apply to this property. This is the only lot in this area designated as a reverse comer lot -when actually all the lots are the same. • It is not fare to demand that the fence be changed after the property owner received approval for the Planning Department and it has been up for many years. The Ashjay's have spent over $100,000 on the fence. What evidence does the City have that the fence located at 14403 Sobey Road, isn't the same height as in 1987. (Mr. Gates submitted statements from several neighbors stating that the fence is the same height prior to 1987). Mayor Waltonsmith asked Director Sullivan to explain "reverse corner lots". Director Sullivan explained "reverse comer lots" and stated that the Ashjay's property is a reverse corner lot and so it the one across the street. Councilmember Kline stated that comer lots are considered special lots in most cities, most of the time variances are granted for these types of lots. Councilmember Kline asked if this property owner has asked for any variances. Director Sullivan replied no Councilmember Bogosian stated that he isn't seeing the nexus between the fence and the trigger that is requiring the fence to be removed. Councilmember Bogosian stated that this is a beautiful piece of property and will support overturning the Planning Commission Councilmember Streit stated that he has a multiple of reasons to overturn the Planning Commission: • Beautiful piece of property, owners have done a great job of landscaping and remodeling the property • Several permits that show the fence is approved • No proof that the fence wasn't the same height in 1987 Councilmember Kline stated that he would support overturning the Planning Commission's decision. KLINE/STREIT MOVED TO DIRECT STAFF TO BRING BACK A RESOLUTION TO GRANT THE APPEAL. MOTION PASSED 5-0. 4.

Cary Bloomquist, Administrative Analyst, presented staff report. Analyst Bloomquist explained that at the March 17, 2004 City Council meeting staff was directed to perform reference checks on Seigler Associates and Randall Funding & Development grant writing firms and to perform demographic analysis on cities similaz to Saratoga in an effort to determine how similaz cities meet their grant writing needs. Analyst Bloomquist stated that he conducted reference checks on both firms by contacting the references listed on the RFP. Most references responded, and the overall level of satisfaction for each firm was high. Analyst Bloomquist stated that staff performed a seazch of all cities in California demographically similaz to Sazatoga utilizing data from the 2000 U.S. Census. Analyst Bloomquist explained the results noting that in most cities staff acts as the grant writer. Analyst Bloomquist stated that most cities contacted do very limited grant writing. When grant funds aze solicited, they are typically non-competitive grants for relatively small funding awards. Analyst Bloomquist stated that staff also contacted neighboring cities and staff also acts as the grant writer. Analyst Bloomquist concluded that each firm is nearly equally qualified, however staff recommends Randall Funding & Development, which has a local office, appears to be more aggressive/proactive, and has an excellent tract record of winning competitive grant dollazs. After reviewing the comparisons, Councilmember Bogosian stated that the City is taking it's chance hiring a grant writer because there is no guazantee that the city will receive any grants. 10 Analyst Bloomquist stated that Randall Funding has stated that they can design their program to meet any cities needs. Vice Mayor King asked if other non-profits in the city could use the grant writer. Concerned with the lack of money for matching funds, Mayor Waltonsmith asked if the City would have control over what grants are apply for. Dan Randall, CEO/ Randall Funding & Development, stated that the first thing his company would do is a needs assessment. Referring to Mayor Waltonsmith's question, Mr. Randall stated that they do not apply for grants without their client's written approval. Responding to Vice Mayor King's question, nonprofits can use their services, although it's up to the City. Mr. Randall stated that his company has 68-professional grant writers and several contract grant writers they can hire if needed. In regards to other groups using the City's grant writer contract, Councilmember Kline asked who pays the fee. Mr. Randall stated that the City should have policy guidelines regazding other parties using the contract. Councihnember Bogosian stated that if the City Council approves the contract, cleaz use polices should be written. Councilmember Kline stated that the City should have done this yeazs ago and noted that he would support the monthly fee option. Councilmember Bogosian requested that a status report in regards to this contract be brought back to Council in six months.

Director Cherbone stated that over the past six months staff has been discussing the project with the owner of the real property, Berto Development. Director Cherbone noted that Berto Development indicated that in the neaz future the current use of the property may change and that the conceptual design of the corner entry would be too cumbersome for the small parcel. Director Cherbone stated that basic design changes were discussed, which was agreed to by the property owner. Director Cherbone explained the changes noting that the requirement to reduce the size of the comer entry azea eliminated the proposed water feature, although there is still sufficient room for all the other amenities planned for the azea. Director Cherbone pointed out that the reduces scope of work frees up approximately $200,000 for City Council consideration on other improvements and amenities such as art, which has strong interest form the Arts Commission, the Kirkmont Traffic Signal, an improvement supported by the sun•ounding neighborhood but not in the current project budget, or additional options as directed by City Council. Director Cherbone explained the City's design consultant, Steve Kikuchi, began working with the Arts Commission to develop the design for the entry. The proposed design plan uses an arch as the main theme. As a substitute for the water feature, the design incorporates a place for art. Vice Mayor King asked if there's been any thought that this setting could be used as another place for a holiday tree. Director Cherbone noted it could be a site for another holiday tree all that would be needed aze lights. Councilmember Bogosian asked who came up with the azch. Tracy Halgren, Chair/Arts Commission, stated that the Commission looked at the original conceptual designs and comments submitted by the neighbors and business owners.

FY2003 04 Budget Background Presentation by Jesse Baloca • City is projecting approximately $667k negative net of operations for FY2004-OS • $667k short fall includes increase in Sheriff's Office budget, PERS increase, increases to Workers Compensation, employees medical premiums and costs of the November election • City started off with an operations balance of $427k. • Beginning Undesignated Fund balance at $383k for start of FY2004-OS • City expects 6.4% increase in property tax revenue -less the ERAF shift for FY2004-OS • City anticipates sales tax revenues will remain flat • Third year in a row City has not funded equipment replacement 2. FY2004 OS Budget Options to Balance Budget Presented by Jesse Baloca Option 1: Assumes Sheriff's budget is estimated at $3.503 million and uses one- time reserves to balance Attachment - A Option 2: Reduction to Sheriff s budget less credit for 5% increase above 2003/04 and allows for the SRO or DARE, and eliminates a Traffic Officer Sheriffs 2004-OS Budget $3.503 million Sheriffs 2003-04 Budget 3.146 Net adjustment $0.357 Option 3: Reduction to Sheriff s budget less credit for 5% increase above and credit for Traffic Officer, and eliminates either the DARE or SRO. Also utilizes %z of the COPS Traffic Safety, and PERS reserve plus annual cash flow. Option 4: Utilizes Option 2, and utilizes 1/3 of the COPS Traffic, and PERS reserves plus net annual cash flow. More detail on each option is shown in Attachment "B". General Discussion: Streit: Voiced concerns about dipping into the three reserves. If we use these reserves this year, we will be creating a problem for 2005-06. If we don't use these reserves, we need to figure another way to decrease the $667k by looking at other aspects. Code Enforcement and traffic are the top issues in Sazatoga and if we use the COPS Fund now, we won't be able to add back the second Code Enforcement Officer that we once had. Anderson: Clarification on Code Enforcement -Currently coming out of General Fund; we can add it back to COPS and that will decrease the $667k to approximately $600k. Bogosian: The first thing to do is look at the total operations and determine if we aze as lean as possible before we build any reserve assumptions into discussion. Anderson: Noted then we need to look at Option 2); if Council were to add Code Enforcement (approximately $67k) back to COPS Fund. This gives you a net negative of approximately $600k. In looking at Option 2), the Sheriff s cost can be modified continuing to reflect a positive Undesignated Fund balance, without the use of any reserves. Waltonsmith: Perhaps there are other options for Sheriff sContract -Such as amortization of a portion of the increase to Sheriff s contract. Anderson: Explained amortization of Sheriff scontract -spread increased costs with Sheriff s contract over a longer period of time such as a 10-year contract. City of Cupertino is also looking at this option along with some service level reductions; balance of the two Cities would basically lower the initial cost impact and would even costs out over the years. Bogosian: Noting the three officer positions, Traffic Officer, SRO and DARE, asked for clarification of duties for SRO and DARE Officer and how along-term amortized contract with the Sheriff s Office would affect those three positions. Hirokawa: Explained duties of each position and costs based on current proposal of Sheriffs contract: DARE Officer (Based on shared cost with other cities) $47,090 (Saratoga's cost) • Teaches 17-week program in all Saratoga public schools, plus Saint Andrews Provides community service requests: Child finger printing, Stranger- Danger classes, etc. School Resource Officer SRO $134k (Saratoga's cost) Full time officer assigned to Middle and High Schools and is liaison to Elementary Schools Responds to school related calls for service as any other deputy Performs 911 classes, Stranger-Danger classes, Code Red (armed intruder) Program, Youth Court (low level crimes), Anti-bullying, Teenage Academy (mini police academy), Every 15 Minutes Program 60% of SRO's time at schools; 40% teaching academy/classes Additional Comments: • SRO cost is $96.50 per hour vs. $120 per hour for Traffic Officer SRO has more contact with schools/students than Street Officer SRO knows more about school issues, student related problems; has more insight than Street Officer Mayor Waltonsmith thanked Sheriff's representatives for attending the meeting and for their presentation. Discussion continued regarding the General Fund Budget. Kline: Asked how much of the negative figure was due to economic decline or ERAF shift? Anderson: Decline due to both sources -most of it from ERAF. Bogosian: On the assumption that the proposed Utility User Tax fails, we should be looking at something to bring down the negative $600k. He further questioned the rationale for cutting out law enforcement services on any level and would like to see an exercise giving other options in our General Operating Budget such as FTE reduction. King: Noted she would prefer the City ask the Sheriff s Office to propose a workable contract. If that is not possible, then we are faced with cutting some of these law enforcement positions. Streit: Agreed with Bogosian -Doesn't feel Public Safety Services should be compromised. Of the three positions (Traffic Officer, SRO and DARE Officer) one position could be cut, preferably not the Traffic Officer. (All were in consensus with not cutting the Traffic Officer position.) Streit also agreed with Bogosian noting that we need to look at other avenues within the City that should be considered. The elimination of one FTE position could free up $ ] OOk. This exemplifies the seriousness of balancing the budget without using Reserve Funds. Kline: Disagreed and noted the Economic Uncertainty Reserve Funds were set up exactly for this type of economic downturn and should be used for that reason. Bogosian: Stated he would like to see an exercise addressing the real numbers before taking from the Economic Uncertainty Reserve Fund. The Reserve Fund should be used for something major -like an earthquake. Kline: Then open up CIP -everything - if you don't want to use Economic Reserve Funds. These are economic downtimes -use the reserve funds. Waltonsmith: Stated she would rather give up DARE program versus SRO program, if faced with cutting services. After continued discussion regarding potential service cuts, FTE cuts, use of reserve funds and when to use Economic Uncertainty funds, the budget remained $600k out of balance. In order for staff to present a balanced budget to Council at the May 5, 2004 Council meeting, City Manager Dave Anderson presented acost-cutting "exercise" in response to Council's request. Council reached agreement to retain specific services/positions and cut other designated services/positions by implementing these steps in order to balance the FY2004-OS General Fund Budget. Attachment "C" reflects the results of the discussion. The Council then addressed the Development Services Fund balance and proposed changes to stabilize the fund. Bogosian: Referring to agenda material in the Council Packet asked Director Sullivan for clarification regarding the fee increase - is it to cover costs to provide services in Community Development Department or simply to raise revenue? Sullivan: Explained the need to double billable hours from 24% to 50%, and this would have an impact on reducing the amount of time planners could spend on non-billable activities, i.e., staff liaisons to commissions, Mustard Walk event, training, staff meetings, etc. Tom stated that these measures were necessary to stabilize the Development fund so that it would not have to be supported by the General Fund in future years. There was general agreement on the part of the Council to implement the suggested changes. COUNCIL DIRECTION Direct City Department Managers to meet with their staff by the following week, inform them of the results of today's meeting and begin the process of implementing the proposed changes and cuts for next year's budget. Additionally, staff was directed to provide the minutes of this meeting in a staff report for the next scheduled Council meeting on May 5, 2004.

CTTY OF SARATOGA BY: Dave Anderson City Manager ATTEST: Cathleen Boyer, City Clerk Gov. Code 40814 SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: May 5, 2004 ORIGINATING DEPT: Public Works, PREPARED BY: Iveta Harvancik ~~ AGENDA ITEM: /~ CITY MANAGER: ~/~ DEPT HEAD: n , SUBJECT: Civic Theater Lower Perimeter Roof and Book-Go-Round Re-Roof Project - Award of Construction RECOMMENDED ACTION(S): 1. Move to declare California Roofing Company, Inc. to be the lowest responsible bidder on the project. 2. Move to award a construction contract for Civic Theater Lower Perimeter Roof and Book-Go-Round Re-Roof Project to California Roofing Company, Inc. in the amount of $73,800 and authorize the City Manager to execute the same. 3. Move to authorize staff to execute change orders to the contract up to $700. REPORT SUMMARY: Background Civic Theater Roof In fall of 2002, the City bid a re-roof proj ect for the entire Civic Theater Building. A total of five contractors submitted bids. The lowest bidder was 31% above the Engineer's Estimate (and project budget). Realizing that the lowest bid was well above the available funding amount, City staff narrowed the extent of work by removing the lower perimeter roof from the project scope. Re-roofing work of the upper central roof was finished in December of 2002. Lower perimeter roof remained in need of replacement. Book-Go-Round Roof Book-Go-Round re-roof project was presented to the Council for inclusion into the 2001-2006 - CIP in December of 2003. The roof was leaking and causing damage to the interior of the building. The project was approved in January 2004 as a funded CIP project. Per recommendations by the Heritage Preservation Commission, the historic character of the roof, existing tiles and rain gutters will be saved and reinstalled a$er a new underlayment is placed. Discussion Sealed bids for Civic Theater Lower Roof and Book-Go-Round Re-roof Project were opened on Wednesday, Apri128, 2004, at 10:00 a.m. Of the sixteen bid packages sent to roofing contractors and builders' exchanges, only two contractors responded by submitting bids. The lowest bidder was determined on the basis of the total base bid items. Please refer to the attached Bid Summary. California Roofing Company, Inc. submitted the lowest bid, which is within the allocated budget. Staff has carefully checked the bid documents along with the listed references and has determined that the bid is responsive to the Notice Inviting Sealed Bids dated April 8, 2004. The scope of work consists of supplying all materials, labor, and equipment to re-roof lower perimeter roof of the Civic Theater and re-roof the Book-Go Round building. It is therefore recommended that the Council declare Califomia Roofing Company, Inc to be the lowest responsible bidder on the project and award the construction contract to this firm in the amount of $73,800. Further, it is recommended that the Council authorize staff to execute change orders to the contract up to $700. In case any additional change orders are needed, they will be funded from the facility maintenance budget. FISCAL IMPACTS: Funding for this project is programmed in the adopted budget and contains sufficient funds to cover the contract amount, but no construction contingency. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION(S): California Roofing Company, Inc. will not be declared the lowest responsible bidder and a construction contract will not be awarded to that firm. The Council may make specific findings to declare another bidder to be the lowest responsible bidder, or reject all the bids and direct staff to re-bid the entire project. However, staff does not believe that a lower bid will be obtained by re-bidding the project due to the large amount of bid packages sent out to roofing companies and builders exchanges. ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S): None in addition to the above. FOLLOW UP ACTION(S): The contract will be executed and the contractor will be issued Notice to Proceed. Work will begin as soon as possible and be completed within 45 calendar days. ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT: Nothing additional. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

DEPT HE ~~ ~ SUBJECT: Recruitment Activities Related to Four Soon-to-be Vacant Staff Positions RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Staff recommends that Council designate these four positions as "essential" and authorize the City Manager to release the hiring freeze in order to fill the positions. REPORT SUMMARY: As part of the budget reductions for 2003-04, a staff hiring freeze was enacted with exceptions for department directors and essential employees. A copy of Resolution No. 03-007 is attached for reference. Three employees have submitted documents indicating their intent to retire with effective dates between July 1 and October 31. In addition, the Administrative Services Director has accepted a position with another city and will be leaving as of May 7. The four position titles and descriptions of their duties follow: Administrative Services Director Responsible for all department operations including finance and information systems divisions, risk management, contract management, and budget prepazation; provides support to the Finance Commission, the Vision Ad Hoc Committee and the West Valley Ad Hoc Committee; reports to the City Manager; responsible for total staff of 7; vacant May 7, 2004. Park Maintenance Supervisor The Pazks Maintenance Supervisor is a key position in the Public Works Department and has direct supervision of eight regulaz employees. The Pazks Supervisor is responsible for the maintenance of all pazks, medians, Landscape and Lighting Zones, as well as ground maintenance of all City property. Additional duties include management of pazks and landscaping related capital projects. The absorption of the duties of this position within the existing framework of the Public Works Department would strain the existing staff s capacity. The result would slow down the accomplishment of CIP projects and negatively affect pazk maintenance quality control. Facility Maintenance Supervisor The Facility Maintenance Supervisor is a division head in chazge of maintenance and repair of all City facilities, which include City Hall, the Civic Theater, Community Center, Senior Center, three portable buildings, the Warner Hutton House, North Campus, and the three buildings at Historical Park. Also, the Supervisor manages all facility related capital projects, which have recently included the Civic Center fire alarm project and the upcoming re-roofing projects. The City facilities are old and in constant need of repairs. The Facility Maintenance Supervisor reports to the Recreation Director, supervises three employees, and the position will be vacant July 31, 2004. Facility Maintenance Worker II The Facility Maintenance Worker II is primarily responsible for the daily cleaning and maintenance of the Community Center, Senior Center and two portable buildings. The person leaving this position works Monday thru Friday from 6:30 am to 3:30 pm. For the first 7 or 8 hours each day, this worker is the only maintenance person on staff to handle problems and emergencies at all city facilities. This person sets up and takes down tables, chairs and equipment for all programs at the Senior Center, and also sets up for daytime City meetings when necessary. Additional duties include occasional cleaning projects at all other City facilities. The Facility Maintenance Worker II reports to the Facility Maintenance Supervisor and the position will be vacant October 9, 2004. Staff recommends that Council designate these four positions as "essential" and authorize the City Manager to release the hiring freeze in order to fill the positions. In order to have new staff ready to fill the three vacant positions between now and July 31, the recruitment process must begin right away. FISCAL IMPACTS: If the positions aze filled, no additional staffing costs will be incuned because the positions have been funded in the 2004-OS budget. Some cost savings maybe realized depending on starting salaries of those newly hired. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: Authorize the City Manager to move forwazd with filling the vacant positions. Determine the positions not to be essential and direct staff to restructure the affected departments based on Council priorities. FOLLOW UP ACTIONS: Staff will implement Council's direction.
