COMMUNICATIONS FROM PUBLIC No one present, duly noted. Assistant City Manager Lorie Tinfow introduced John Fairbank and SueAnne McNeil-Biotti, FNMA representatives from Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin & Associates; the company selected to perform the community survey. Lorie Tinfow then turned the meeting over to John Fairbank, representative from Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin & Associates. Mr. Fairbank gave a brief history of Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin & Associates, and noted the established successful surveys the company has undertaken in the past. Mr. Fairbanks noted that they stay involved throughout the entire survey process and work to establish a strong relationship with the community they are working for. .~ A dialog took place regarding the survey and the needs of the community. Mr. Fairbank noted their goal was to be objective by asking bipartisan survey questions on community issues. Questions were raised by Councilmembers regarding the community's interest in the elimination of Kevin Moran Pazk and Heritage Orchard questions in the survey. Mayor Kathleen King noted the survey needs to fmd out what is acceptable with the community in terms of generating more dollars to meet long-term revenue needs. It was noted that previous draft copies of the survey outlined more survey questions on revenue raising. For each question added, one has to betaken out -the stuvey was already too long. Also noted, don't restrain from asking questions; rather ask a question than regret not including a question that we wished to ask after the completion of the survey. It was agreed by all to walk through the survey; question by question, page by page. After continued dialog by Council, staff and survey representatives, as to which questions would remain and which questions would be removed from the survey, it was concluded that all questions pertaining to Kevin Moran Pazk and Heritage Orchatd should be removed from the survey, and a number of other questions would be re-worded. It was also determined that Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin & Associates would provide a new draft survey by October 25, 2005 to be presented to Council for further consideration, A second study session may be scheduled.

RECOMMENDED ACTION By resolution direct NBS Local Government Solutions, the Administrator of the Series 1993 Revenue Bonds to notice the Bond Trustee on behalf of the Authority to proceed with the Notice of Redemption, and to continue to retain the services of NBS for the administration of the Leonazd Road Assessment Local Obligation. REPORT SUMMARY The City advanced $166,200 of General Fund money to make a debt service payment on the Series 1993 Revenue Bonds in September of 2004. As a result of that payment, the City is currently in a deficit position with respect to those Bonds of approximately $135,000. Staff has sought the assistance of the original Bond Counsel, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, LLP, to relief the fiscal burden of the City's General Fund. In the attached letter Daniel Bort provides an executive summary of the situation, and the recommendation that the Series 1993 Revenue Bonds be called at the eazliest possible date. As indicated in Mr. Bort's letter, this action will direct the Bank of New York to call and redeem all of the 1993 Revenue Bonds, and remit the balance of cash on hand, approximately $126,000 to the Sazatoga Public Financing Authority. The Authority would continue to collect on the Leonazd Road Assessment District local obligations until such time as the City has recovered all of its costs. Currently the Leonazd Road District is committed to payments through fiscal yeaz 2012-2013. FISCAL IMPACTS Directing the redemption of the Series 1993 Revenue Bonds, will allow the City to immediately recover approximately $126,000 of the $135,000 that is due to the General Fund. Once the balance of $ 9,000 plus redemption costs and legal fees have been recovered it will be at the discretion of the City Council to either continue the Leonazd Road Assessment as an income stream to the City's General Fund to fiscal year 2012-2013, or to direct staff to relieve the Leonazd Road Assessment's of its debt. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION The General Fund will not recover the estimated $135,000 in cash until fiscal yeaz 2012-2013. ALTERNATIVE ACTION N/A FOLLOW UP ACTION Instruct NBS to give notice to the Bond Trustee on behalf of the Authority.

The City advanced $166,200 of its general fund money to make a debt service payment on those Bonds just about a yeaz ago. As a result, the City is currendq in a deficit position with respect to those Bonds of approximately $135,000. After my first look at things, at the request of Michele Braucht, I felt assured that all the money that needed to be present was present, and all we needed to do was straighten out some logistical kinks with the Trustee Bank (The Bank of New Yoxk Trust Company), and we could get the Ciry reimbursed fox the debt service payment it made out of its general fund last fall, and still be perfectly secure with respect to the 1993 Revenue Bonds. That still can be done; but I am now recommending a different, less expensive, and easier solution. The Trustee Bank now holds, in the various accounts associated with this bond issue, approximately $328,000. But the total amount of outstanding bonds is only $200,000. It will be a relatively simple matter to instruct the Trustee Bank to use the funds it holds to redeem and retire all of the outstanding bonds, and to refund the excess to the Saratoga Public Financing Authority, which can then remit the money to the City. That still will not make the City whole; but the Financing Authority still holds enough of the Leonard Road Assessment District bonds, and is itself receiving payments on those bonds each year, that the City will be made whole within a few years. Accompanying this letter are two forms of resolution, one for the City Council, and one for the Governing Board of the Public Financing Authority, that may be adopted to accomplish the recommendation. The foregoing is the "executive summary;" what follows is the more detailed explanation. DOCSSF1:839046.1 0 ORRICK Michele Bxaucht October 7, 2005 Page 2 Let me briefly explain the structure of the financing. Back in 1993, the City was going to issue two small bond issues: Reassessment District No. 1993-1 (the refunding [refinancing] of Village Pazkiag District #3), and the Leonard Road Assessment District. The undexavritex at the time suggested that if the two issues were "pooled" into a single issue, there would be a savings of issuance costs. So the issues were pooled, and only a single issue was offered for sale to the public -the Authority's 1993 Revenue Bonds. The way this was done is as follows: First, the Saratoga Public Financing Authority was formed as ajoint-powers authority, by agreement between the City and its own Parking District. The City then conducted both assessment proceedings, but instead of selling those two small bond issues (let us call them the "local obligations' to the public, it sold them to the Authority. The City thus received the money necessary to refund the Village Parking District #3 bonds, and to construct the Leonard Road street improvements. Where did the Authority get the money to buy the local obligations? It sold its 1993 Revenue Bonds to the public, and used the money it received from that sale to, in turn, buy the local obligations. How was the Authority able to sell its Revenue Bonds to the public? By promising to use the money it was to receive, as the owner of the local obligations, to make the payments of principal and interest on the Revenue Bonds. The last payment on the Reassessment District No. 1993-1 local obligations was a year ago. The payments on the Revenue Bonds are now, correspondingly, much smaller. The Authority is currently receiving revenue only from payments on the Leonard Road Assessment District local obligations, and it is currently scheduled to continue to receive those payments (and to continue to make payments on the 1993 Revenue Bonds) unti12013. Why did the City have to use its general fund monies to make the debt service payment on the 1993 Revenue Bonds last fall? That is not entirely cleaz. The financing documents directed that as soon as the Authority received any payments on the local obligations, those were to be forwarded immediately to the Trustee Bank. The Trustee Bank then had the responsibility fox managing all the funds and paying the holders of the 1993 Revenue Bonds. For whatever reason, that did not happen on a consistent basis. The City appears at some point to have gotten into the practice of holding the money the Authority was to receive on the local obligations, and then responding to DOCSSF1:83904G.] O ORRICK Michele Bxaucht October 7, 2005 Page 3 notices, or invoices, from the Trustee Bank when payments became due on the Revenue Bonds. This has not, to my knowledge, resulted in the loss of any money. The Trustee Bank holds considerable funds (enough that the City's contribution, a year ago, should not have been necessary). But, whatever the practices have been over the years; they somehow resulted in money accumulating in Funds where it otherwise would not have. It would be an interesting exercise to trace exactly how the money found its way into the various funds where it currently sits, but that could be expensive and, under my recommendation, would not be necessary. In my early negotiations with The Bank of New York to try to put things back in proper order, I found it resistant to doing so. The Bank's representatives are extremely reluctant to remove any money from a Fund (even if it should not have been put there in the first place), if the language of the Trust Agreement does not specifically call for the removal. In fairness to the Bank, it does not eam a lot of money from acting as a trustee and, of course, has a very legitimate desire to avoid any possible breach of trust to the bondholders, or any taking of any action that might, under any theory, expose the Bank to litigation. Governed by this extreme caution, it did not utilize funds it held a year ago to make the debt service payment, and instead asked the City to remit the necessary funds. To its credit, the City did so, although in my view the Bank could have, and should have, used monies it already held for that purpose. In preparing to fight this fight with the Bank, another approach suggested itself that would eliminate the need for the fight, and actually be simplex and less expensive for the City. That is the recommendation I will now explain. As of the close of business on September 7, 2005, the Bank held the following funds for the 1993 Revenue Bond issue: Redemption Fund $ 1,088.]7 Debt Service Fund 18,491.90 Reserve Fund 164,297.26 Expense Fund 43,517.68 Surplus Fund 112,685.87 Rebate Fund --- Local Obligation Bond Fund 18.01 $340,098.89 On September 15, 2005 the Trustee Bank made a debt service payment on the Revenue Bonds of $12,160.00. It used money in the Debt Service Fund to make that payment, reducing that Fund to DOCSSF1:83904G.1 0 ORRICK Michele Braucht October 1, 2005 Page 4 $6,331.90 and the total amount it holds to $327,938.89. But there axe now only $200,000 of the Revenue Bonds outstanding. Of course the reason the Bank has so much money is because of the Ciry's payment of a yeaz ago. Nonetheless, the City can direct the Bank to call and redeem all of the 1993 Revenue Bonds, and to pay the expenses associated with that process. This would accomplish a number of things. It would get the Bondholders and the Bank (and its nervousness and resistance) out of the picture; it would stop the cost of paying the Bank its Trustee fees every year; and it would stop the cost of paying the Bondholders 7% interest each year. What are the financial ramifications of this fox the City? The Bonds can be redeemed on 60 days' notice to the Trustee Bank. Interest is accumulating on the Bonds at about $38 per day from September 15, 2005. The Bank's chazges for the eazly xedempdon would be under $1,000. To retire the Bonds and pay those amounts would require less than $202,000. Once the Bank expended that sum to retire the 1993 Revenue Bonds, it would remit the remaining $126,000 it holds to the Financing Authority. That still leaves the City in a deficit position with respect to the Revenue fonds of approximately $9,000. But the Authority would then continue to receive each year the principal and interest payments on the Leonazd Road Assessment District local obligations and, freed from any need to use those amounts to make payments on the 1993 Revenue Bonds, would turn those receipts over to the City for placement into the City's general fund right through 2013. The outstanding balance on the Leonazd Road Assessment District is $40,000, and the Authority is earning 7.5% interest on that, which is not bad these days. The currently expected income stream to the City's general fund would be as follows, and includes a $5,000 principal payment each September: March 2, 2006 $ 1,500.00 September 2, 2006 6,500.00 Match 2, 2007 1,312.50 September 2, 2007 6,312.50 March 2, 2008 1,125.00 September 2, 2008 6,125.00 March 2, 2009 937.50 September 2, 2009 5,937.50 March 2, 2010 750.00 DOCSSF7:83904(i.1 0 ORRICK Michele Braucht October 7, 2005 Page 5 September 2, 2010 5,750.00 Mazch 2, 2011 562.50 September 2, 2011 5,562.50 March 2, 2012 375.00 September 2, 2012 5,375.00 Mazch 2, 2013 187.50 September 2, 2013 5.187.50 TOTAL $53,500.00 There would be a few expenses to be paid: my firm's NBS' fees, and a final rebate (federal tax law) calculation; but those expenses will have to be paid in any case. It appeazs that this solution is simpler and less expensive than trying to move The Bank of New York to readjust account balances in a way it does not feel it is authorized, and hence is afraid, to do. You will note that the City will receive, under this scenario, more than is necessary to make itself whole with respect to this entire financing structure. That is a function of the way the financing was set up by the underwriter. There is a "spread" between the interest rate the Authority pays to the holders of the 1993 Revenue Bonds (approximately 7%), and the interest rate the Authority receives on the local obligations (approximately 7.5%). That was designed, in the underwrites s structure, to generate some amount of money for the City's general fund, perhaps to compensate it for the trouble of doing the financing in the first place. Once the 1993 Revenue Bonds are paid off, the Authority will be the only bondholder left -not of the 1993 Revenue Bonds, but of the Leonard Road Assessment District local obligations. As with any other bond holder, the Authority is entitled to be paid principal and interest on those bonds that it holds. There is no requirement that the Authority stop collecting those payments once the 1993 Revenue Bonds are paid off and once the City has been made whole. Of course, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to have Ms. Braucht contact ma I would be happy to appear before you at a Council meeting if you wish. Very truly yours, Daniel C.

HEAD: ~~~ SUBJECT: Zoning Text Amendment -Personal Service Businesses in CH-1 and CH-2 Zoning Districts -Second Reading and Adoption ~ RECOMMENDATION Grant the Second Reading and adopt the Ordinance approving the Zoning Text Amendment for Personal Service Businesses in the CH-1 and CH-2 zoning districts. BACKGROUND On October 5, 2005, the City Council conducted a public hearing and introduced the .", Zoning Text Amendment which provides a new definition of `Personal Service Business' and requires a Conditional Use Pennit for Personal Service Businesses in the City's CH-1 and CH-2 zoning Districts. The City Council did not request any changes to the draft ordinance, and voted to place this item on consent for a second reading and adoption. CORRESPONDENCE No correspondence has been received on this matter as of the writing of this staff report. ADVERTISING, NOTICING, AND PUBLIC CONTACT N/A FISCAL IMPACTS There aze no negative fiscal impacts. This zoning text amendment will enable the Planning Commission to review each application for a personal service business in reference to the City's goal to revitalize the downtown Village. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING ACTION(S) The `Sazatoga Village Plan' lists the encouragement of a town center mix of business ~" establishments as an objective for the Village. If the proposed zoning text amendment is not adopted, then the City may not meet this objective.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS 1. Leave the Zoning Ordinance as it is currently written. 2. Modify and adopt the proposed Zoning Text Amendment. ATTACHMENT 1. Ordinance adopting the proposed Zoning Text Amendment ~...+ ORDINANCE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE SARATOGA CITY CODE CONCERNING PERSONAL SERVICE BUSINESSES IN THE CH-I AND CH-2 ZONING DISTRICTS THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SARATOGA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Findings. The City Council finds and declares as follows: a. The City of Sazatoga's Village business district has long been recognized as an area that has a mix of businesses that included a cross section of retail, service, restaurant, and personal service industries that contribute to our residents' quality of life. b. The City's Village Design Guidelines and Village Improvement Project both contain numerous goals to create a vibrant downtown where the mix of retail and service based businesses exist. c. A nationwide economic recession has reduced the demand for many retail goods resulting in retail business failures and increasing retail space vacancies in the Village. d. While the total number of Personal Service Businesses continues to grow, our current vacant retail space is being converted to additional Personal Services Businesses compromising our desired Village business mix. e. An increase in the existing number of Personal Service Businesses in the Village potentially threatens the City's desired business mix of retail and service businesses in a number of way, including, but not limited to, a concentration of Personal Services Businesses which limit or exclude other retail activities, the decrease of vaned retail opportunities thereby reducing the attractiveness of the Village to both shoppers and new retail businesses, and ultimately jeopazdizing the ability of the City's retail areas to successfully compete with other retail azeas in the region. f. This Ordinance is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, subdivision (b). In the event that this Ordinance is found to be a project under CEQA, it is subject to the CEQA exemption contained in section 15061, subdivision (b) (3) of the CEQA Guidelines, because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that it may have a significant effect on the environment. The purpose of this Ordinance is to require discretionary review of previously permissible uses. Because it does not authorize any new uses it will not indirectly or directly result in a physical change to the environment. Section 2. Adoption.

CITY OF SARATOGA By; ATTEST:, Dave Anderson City Manager Cathleen Boyer, City Clerk Gov. Code 40814 SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: November 2, 2005 ORIGINATING DEPT: Public Works PREPARED BY: AGENDA ITEM: 2~ CITY MANAGER: ~~./ DEPT HEAD: SUBJECT: Hakone Gardens ADA Facilities Upgrade Project -Award of Construction Contract RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1. Approve Budget Resolution. 2. Move to declaze Robert A. Bothman, Inc. to be the lowest responsible bidder on the Hakone Gardens ADA Facilities Upgrade Project. 3. Approve a construction contract with Robert A. Bothman, Inc. in the amount of $239,500 for the Hakone Gazdens ADA Facilities Upgrade Project and authorize City Manager to execute the same. REPORT SUMMARY: Sealed bids for the Hakone Gardens ADA Facilities Upgrade Project were opened on December 15, 2004. A total of three contractors submitted bids and a summary of the bids received is attached (Attachment 1). Robert A. Bothman of San Jose submitted the lowest bid of $289,000, which is 44.5% above the Engineer's Estimate of $200,000. Staff has cazefully checked the bid along with the listed references and has determined that the bid is responsive to the Notice Inviting Sealed Bids dated November 12, 2004. The scope of work includes furnishing all materials, equipment, and labor to construct and install ADA improvements including accessible pathways, steps, and all related and incidental work. In order to perform the project it was necessary to value engineer aspects of the project to close the gap between the budget and the low bid. After lengthy negotiations with the contractor the scope of work and associated cost was reduced by $54,500 for a reduced bid price of $234,500. Although this was a step in the right direction it was not sufficient and additional funds would be needed. A meeting was held with the Hakone Foundation to determine if they could supplement the budget. The Foundation was able to contribute $50,000 towards the project which the City has received. During the recent CIP study sessions held with City Council staff included an increase to the project budget in the amount of $22,000 the amount need to fully fund the project. City Council in tum -= rated this request a high priority. The following budget table summarizes the project revenues and expenditures: Revenues• $250,000 (CDBG) 50,000 (Hakone Foundation} 22.000 (Unallocated CIP Funds) $322,000 Total Revenues Expenditures: $27,873 (Design Services and Bidding) 30,112 (Stone Material for Steps) 239,500 (Construction Contract) 7, 515 (Davis Bacon Compliance Contract) 17.000 (Construction Contingency) $322,000 Total Expenditures Due to Hakone's busy rental season there are only specific times of the yeaz that construction can take place without impact. Hakone has made the months of November thru January the window of `-'' time that this project can be implemented. If Council awards a construction contract to Robert A. Bothman, Inc. they will begin work as eazly as the week of November 7~h It is therefore recommended that Council declare Robert A. Bothman, Inc. to be the lowest responsible bidder on the project, and award the attached construction contract (Attachment 2) to this firm. Further, it is recommended that the Council authorize staff to execute change orders to the contract up to an amount of $17,000 to cover any unforeseen circumstances and additional work, which may arise during the course of the proj ect. FISCAL IMPACTS: Funding for this work is programmed in the adopted budget for Capital Improvement Project titled "Hakone Gardens ADA Improvements". In order to fully fund the project it is necessary that a budget resolution be approved in the amount of $22,000 (Attachment 3).

The Council may make specific findings to declare another bidder to be the lowest responsible bidder, or reject all of 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 competitive nature of the current bids received. ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S): None in addition to the above. FOLLOW UP ACTION(S): The contract will be executed and the contractor will be issued a Notice to Proceed.

REPORT SUMMARY: In the wake of hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the recent earthquake in Pakistan all levels of government have been examining the status of their prepazedttess for emergencies. At the ,,, October 5, 2005 Council meeting, Council placed on a future Council agenda the status of emergency prepazedness for the city of Saratoga. This report discusses the status of emergency prepazedness in the city of Sazatoga at this time. This report will cover planning, training and exercising of the emergency plan. In addition, the status and assessment of readiness in the areas of communications, transportation and logistics will be discussed. Planning The City's Multifunctional Hazard Plan was developed by city staff with the assistance of the County Emergency Services Division. It was approved by the City Council on March 1, 2004. A hazard mitigation annex to this plan is a requirement of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. Staff is currently developing this annex and will bring a draft to the Council shortly after the first of the year. The City's Emergency Council, made up of Public Safety Commission members and others, last met in July 2004 to review the City's prepazedness efforts. A report from the Emergency Council was presented to the City Council on July 21, 2004. (Attachment "A") The Emergency Council should be convened within this fiscal year to assist with developing plans and programs for enhancing the City's emergency preparedness, response and public education programs. Staff is currently in discussion with County Fire, which provides staff assistance to the City of ~. Cupertino for emergency planning. Now that County Fire is providing management services for the Saratoga Fire District we are working together to develop a similaz emergency planning capability for the City of Sazatoga. Training The date of the last all-city training was October 2004. Several staff members have been trained at the California Specialized Training Institute (CSTI) in 2A03. Two management level staff members are currently at a CSTI sponsored training session. Staff turnover has created several vacancies in the EOC staffing roster. New assignments have been made recently. Funding for staff training and one emergency exercise per yeaz are to be funded by County Fire. Exercising The last EOC training/exercise was held in Apri12004. The next exercise is scheduled November 15, 2005. This will be a functional exercise focused on EOC communications. City staff will be participating in this exercise. Communications The City uses a simplex radio system and does not own its own radio frequency. Staff is attempting to obtain a sublicense from the City of Campbell. This sublicense agreement is viewed as a temporary solution. The City needs to obtain its own radio frequency and to be assured of its availability during emergencies. Furtt-er, the City may need to purchase additional radio equipment, including a radio repeater and new base and mobile radios, depending upon the radio frequencies obtained. The city's Traveler's Information Service radio (TIS) is functional, but will not survive a moderate to severe earthquake. Additionally, the programming interface is extremely difficult and non-intuitive. Anew hardware interface and battery backup system has been developed by the manufacturer to make it easy. to program in a fully interactive manner via computer interface. ,_,~ The City's telephone and computer systems have battery backup capability, which is intended for brief power blackouts only. These systems are on circuits served by the City's emergency backup generator, which must be manually transported and connected. Transportation Five city pickup trucks used by building inspectors are fueled by natural gas. While the gas and diesel pumps aze connected to emergency power the natural gas system is not. Therefore, this system can only be used to trickle chazge one vehicle per day. This would leave the other four vehicles powered by natural gas, unavailable for use. Logistics The Saratoga Fire Department utilizes the City's diesel fuel supply to fuel its vehicles. It will also be the fuel source for generators supplying emergency power to the Civic Center and the generator powering the new Fire Station. Diesel fuel consumption during an emergency will be extremely high. The existing capacity of the tank at the City Maintenance Yard is 500 gallons and will only serve these needs for a couple of days. Out of 56 employees, S live in Saratoga; 21 live in San Jose; 71ive in Campbell; 10 additional employees live within ten miles; 71ive along highway 17 or in the Santa Cruz area; and 61ive greater than ten miles away from Saratoga north of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The good news 2of4 from this survey is that 43 employees live within ten miles of the City of Sazatoga north of the Santa Cruz Mountains. After arranging for the safety of family members it is reasonable to assume that the majority of City employees would be available for emergency assignments. Further analysis will be undertaken to spe~cally determine where ow maintenance staff lives in order to determine their proximity to Saratoga, over the next several weeks. Miscellaneous Emergency Operation Center When the new fire station was being designed, provisions were made to establish a new community Emergency Operation Center (EOC) in the conference room at the fire station. This room has the benefit of being in a building which was specifically built to withstand earthquakes; has automatic emergency power and is staffed 24 hours a day by emergency personnel. At its most recent meeting the Saratoga fire District Board of Commissioners approved its use as the community's EOC. The Saratoga City Council has also adopted a resolution of support for the use of this room as an EOC. Emergency priority restoration telephone lines have been relocated to the new facility. Radio equipment is being relocated this week. A Bay azea exercise focusing on EOC communications is scheduled for November 15, 2005. It is our goal to install as much communications related equipment as possible in the facility to be tested that day. CERT We have a small Public Works staff and only one or two pieces of heavy equipment. The majority of our Public Works projects are contracted out. Police and fire services are provided by the Sheriff's department, County Fire and the Saratoga Fire Department respectively. In any significant disaster the capability of the city will be rapidly exceeded. It is extremely important therefore, that our citizens become self-sufficient; stocking food water and medical supplies in their homes and businesses. The cities of Campbell, Cupertino and Sazatoga participate in a program of citizen education promoting self-sufficiency called CERT (Community Emergency Response Team). Forty-five Saratoga residents have graduated from this program in the last 2 years and are resowces for their neighborhoods and the entire community. Two residents completed the last class on September 24, 2005. The next class will be held in January. Residents can sign up with the Recreation Department at ow web site or may fill out an application form found in the most recent program guide mailed to all residents.

ATTACII(NIENTS: Attachment A -Report on Emergency Preparedness Committee Council Report -July 21, 2004 4of4 SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: Jnly 21, 2Q04 ORIGINATING DEPT: City Manager's Office AGENDA ITEM• /'~ \ CITY MANAGER• ~/ PREPARED BY: Lorie Tinfow DEPT IIE r.1 SUBJECT: Report on Emergency Preparedness Commtttee RECOMMENDED ACTION(S): Accept report. REPORT SUMMARY: As part of the discussion of the new Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) Multihazard Functional Plan adopted by Council on March 17, 2004, Council directed staffto convene a meeting of emergency preparedness stakeholders as the "Disaster Council." On July 12, 2004, the following met: ^ Mayor Ann Waltonsmith ^ City Manager Dave Anderson ' ^ Public Safety Commissioners Brigitte Ballingall and Mitch Kane ^ City Staff Danielle Surdin and Lorie Tinfow ^ Assistant Chief Ron Vega, Saratoga Fire Department ^ Assistant Chief Ken Waldvogel, Santa Clara County Fire Department ^ Acting Director Celeste Cook and staff member Miguel Grey, Santa Clara County Office of Emergency Services ^ Captain John Hirokawa and Lt. Terrence Calderon, Santa Clara County Sheriffs Office Further research indicated the need to change the group's name since "Disaster Council" refers to the City Council in times of emergency. The group agreed to call itself the "Emergency Preparedness Committee". The purpose of the group is to meet annually to confirm that the City maintains its compliance with both State and Federal emergency management requirements. (A copy of the meeting agenda is attached.) Specifically, cities are required to have an up-to-date SEMS Multihazard Function Plan and provide staffresponse training at least once per year. The City met the first requirement when the Council approved the new SEMS Multihazard Function Plan on March 17, 2004. Staff emergency response training was held on April 19, 2004. Recently, a new requirement has been imposed on cities. Each city must now prepare a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan in order to qualify for mitigation funding. The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) has taken the lead on meeting this requirement and has offered to prepare the ., '. bulls of the ith input from cities who want to collaborate. Saratoga has accepted their offer (as have most ities) and will be submitting appropriate information over the next few months. a During the ,participants made a number of suggestions and comments; highlights follow: ^ Mitch Kane asked for clarification regarding who participates in City stafftraining-are public safety agencies ittvolved? Representatives fmm all relevant organizations wexe included in the April training. ^ Brigitte Ballingall reported that the Public Safety Commission continues to educate itself and has invited the Saratoga Amateur Radio Association (SARA) to make a presentation to the Commission about SARA's role in an emergency. ^ Ken Waldvogel noted that CERT graduates aze the best salespeople and recommends using them to publicize the program. • Ron Vega suggested Saratoga partner with West Valley College in their emergency preparedness activities. ^ Celeste Cook echoed support for partnering with West Valley College and suggested developing a Memorandum of Understanding between the City and the Collegt. She also suggested Saratoga tackle one topic per year or quarter, and start with Coaununications, i.a, updating 24/7 contact information for all responders. She also provided a copy of a National League of Cities report (copy attached) and suggested we consider holding monthly "brown bag" htnches for staff to discuss emergarcy response using cumnt events as case study opportunities. • John Hirokawa recommended incorporating CERT graduates into staffresponse plans and to designate a lead CERT member to organize the graduates. ^ Miguel Grey suggested we take advantage of the Volunteer Center's help with CERT. He also suggested that next year Saratoga hold a table top exercise and that the City focus on personal preparedness, that is, getting staff to be prepared at home so that they are better able to assist with City response Dave Anderson noted that the new Saratoga Fire Department station will have a new Emergency Operations Center and has had discussions with the Chief regarding consolidating City emergency response at that location. He also asked about public safety officers' response to CERT graduates at an incident-is CERT recognized and are graduates allowed to participate in the response? Hirokawa and Waldvogel (Vega had to leave) both concumd that graduates' skills are recognized as valuable additions. Ann Waltonsmith suggested that the City emphasize individual preparation for small events as well as large ones; be proactive in preparing residents for local concerns such as mountain lion sitings; suggested staff develop a process flow chart; and supported collaboration with West Valley College and schools to determine what information and provisions their emergency plans include. Staff agreed to identify the appropriate liaison at each school and add their contact information to the Communications plan. She also suggested notifying all Commissioners by email when CERT is offered. 2of3 Staff will include all suggestions, recommendations and comments as Part of future emergency preparedness activities. FISCAL IMPACTS: Nothing additional. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION(S): N/s ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS}: N/a FOLLOW UP ACTION(S): Staffwill next convene the group in June/Juiy 2005.
