At UCLA with the US Performing Arts learning digital film making and screenwriting.
UCLA SCHOOL OF 1HEA TER Fll..M AND TELEVISION has an international reputation for
quality education in developing individual voices of the next generation of filmmakers. The first
course was begining digital film making. This course is taught by selected chosen award winning
professionals who have contributed as a faculty of the UCLA Film and Television Department. I
learned the basic techniques of digital production and post production while maintaining an
understanding of storytelling by focusing on the image. I used state of the art equipment The
purpose of the course was to be immersed in the creativity of image storytelling using supportive
sound to speak our message through the digital medium.
The second course I took was creative writing. Creative writing is the basis of all narrative
presentation. The curriculum of this course included the study of the dramatic structure ofshort
and full length plays, screenplays and teleplays. Designed as a course that absorbs each student in
character, structure, form and plot of the written play, screenplay or teleplay. I developed,
discussed, wrote, working towards an understanding of what it takes to bring the imagination of
the mind to the fruition of performance..

What aspects of the Youth Commission interest you?
I live in Saratoga, but I attend Westmont High School which is in the Campbell Union High School
District. If I were selected to the Youth Commission I would work on better connecting my school
with the other schools in Saratoga. I also am interested in participating in the Saratoga middle
school dances. When I attended Rolling Hills Middle School I really enjoyed going to those
dances and it would be cool to be a part of organizing them.

CITY OF SARATOGA
PROCLAMATION DECLARING
THE MONTH OF MAY 2006
MENTAL HEALTH MONTH
WHEREAS, mental health is critical for our well-being and vitality as well as that of our
families, communities and businesses; and
WHEREAS, the President's New Freedom Commission declared that mental disorders and
mental health problems affect people of all backgrounds and all stages of life, and no one is inunune;
and
WHEREAS, the World Health Organization found that mental illnesses rank first in terms of
causing disability in the United States and, collectively, are the most prevalent health problem in
America today - more common than cancer, lung and heart disease combined; and
WHEREAS, one in 10 children has a serious mental health disorder that, if untreated, can
lead to school failure, physical illness, substance abuse and even suicide; and
WHEREAS, mental health disorders such as schizophrenia, depression and anxiety
disorders are real, common and treatable illnesses; and
WHEREAS, the U.S. Surgeon General has found that a range of mental health treatments of
documented efficacy exists for most mental disorders; and

CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING AN
EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT POLICY
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Open the public hearing and accept public testimony on the ordinance then close
the hearing. Introduce and waive first reading of the attached ordinance and direct
staff to place the second reading and adoption of the ordinance on the consent
calendar for the next regular Council meeting. Adopt the attached resolution.
Richard Taylor, City Attorney, presented staff report.
City Attorney Taylor explained that the proposed ordinance and resolution
implemented portions of AB 1234, which became operative on January 1, 2006.
City Attorney Taylor explained that AB 1234 sets specific standards governing
compensation and reimbursement of City Council members and other appointed
officials (such as Commissioners). Compensation is permitted in four situations:
1) "A meeting of the legislative body"; 2) "A meeting of the advisory body"; 3) "A
conference or organized educational activity"; 4) Other occurrences "if the
governing body has adopted, in a public meeting, a written policy specifying other
types of occasions that constitute the performance of official duties for which a
member of the legislative body may receive payment." Gov. Code ~ 53232.l(a),
(b).
City Attorney Taylor continued to explain that AB 1234 further provides that an
agency may reimburse elected officials and commissioners only if it has adopted
in a public meeting, a written policy "specifying the types of occurrences that
Minutes 6 March 1, 2006
qualify for reimbursement of expense relating to travel, meals, lodging, and other
actual and necessary expenses." Gov. Code S 53232.2(b). That policy must allow
reimbursement of only "actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance
of official duties
Finally, City Attorney Taylor explained that AB 1234 also includes requirements
for ethics training of members of a local agency's legislative body and any
appointed officials (e.g., Commissioners) who receive compensation or
reimbursement for performance of their official duties, and/or of employees
designated to receive training by a local agency. Staff will be providing the City
Council with additional information on the ethics training requirement at a later
date. The ordinance and resolution attached to the staff report address only the
compensation and reimbursement requirements of AB 1234.
City Attorney Taylor explained the proposed ordinance noting that it makes minor
revisions to the City Code to ensure that it is structured in accordance with AB
1234. The ordinance amends the Code to clarify that these stipends are purely
compensatory in nature; they do not represent reimbursement for actual and
necessary expenses relating to official duties of the City Council.
City Attorney Taylor explained that in order to ensure that reimbursement is
available to Council members and Commissioners for costs incurred while on City
business, the attached resolution adopts a reimbursement policy. The policy is
based on the model reimbursement policy developed by the California League of
Cities.
Council expressed their concerns regarding the proposed policy and directed staff
to research and clarifies the item more thoroughly and return to Council at future
meeting.

3. REQUEST TO AUGMENT THE COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD
HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Accept report and adopt budget resolution.
RESOLUTION: 06-014
Cathleen Boyer, City Clerk, presented staff report.
City Clerk Boyer reminded Council that on May 4, 2005 they approved the
Second Amendment to the Agency Agreement for Countywide Household
Hazardous Waste Collection Program that extended the contract one more year.
City Clerk Boyer pointed out that due to Citywide budget constraints staff did not
recommend any additional funding to this program for FY 05-06.
City Clerk Boyer stated that Saratoga has historically generated less solid waste
per capita than other jurisdictions. City residents have a high level of
environmental awareness which minimizes solid waste tonnage going for disposal,
which of course is what the AB 939 solid waste tipping fee is based on. The
Minutes 7 March 1, 2006
tipping fee generates approximately $33,000 per year for the City's HHW
services. The funding available to serve residents does not support the minimum
level of service (3% of households in each jurisdiction) that was the basis for the
tipping fee. To compound matters, a higher than average number of household
from Saratoga request services. The countywide average is roughly 4% of
households, historically, 8% of Saratoga households request service.
Additionally, Universal Waste (batteries, florescent bulbs, e-waste) were banned
by the State Legislature February 9 of this year and will significantly increase the
demand for HHW services.
City Clerk Boyer stated that on November 22, 2005 the City received a letter from
Rob D' Arcy, Hazardous Materials Program Manager, indicating that as of
November 19, 2005 the HHW Program provided service to 316 Saratoga residents
and would not be able to provide any additional service for the reminder of the
fiscal year. Mr. D' Arcy once again requested that the Council consider a $25,000
augmentation to the program.
City Clerk Boyer reported that since December 2005 the HHW Program staff has
been referring all Saratoga calls to the City Clerk's Office. Staff has received
approximately 300 calls since that time. Staff has referred residents to alternative
sites to dispose of batteries, motor oil, and florescent light bulbs. Unfortunately
alternative disposal sites for the following items are not available: latex/oil base
paint, pesticides and other household chemicals.
In addition to the public's need for this service, City Clerk Boyer explained that
the City's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit, the
Pesticide Management Plan (pMP) and Saratoga's Work Plan for FY -05-06 all
indicate the City's obligation to proved disposal sites to its residents.
City Clerk Boyer explained that the in March 2007 when the new solid waste
contract goes into effect there will be a permanent site for City residents to use for
the following types waste: e-waste, batteries, motor oil, and florescent light bulbs.
This will reduce the need for City residents to use the County's HHW program for
these types of waste and therefore the need to augment the HHW Program will be
reduced significantly.

3 SARATOGA GATEWAY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT - DISCUSSION OF
MEDIAN COLUMNS
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Accept report and direct staff accordingly.
John Cherbone, Public Works Director, presented staff report.
Director Cherbone presented the background of this project explaining the
following:
. Relinquishment of Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road
. Gateway Task For and Master Plan Process
. Revised Comer Entry
. Construction Bid
Director Cherbone described the Gateway columns which consist of 4-4 Y, foot
tall columns and 9-8 Y, foot tall columns. Director Cherbone stated that Gateway
Task Force liked the idea of stand alone columns without a trellis structure
because it would differ from what surrounding communities had in their medians.
However, the final design of the columns including height, width, number of
columns, and their shape was the project architect's vision of the direction from
the Task Force. Director Cherbone noted that there was no formal review of the
final column design, which has led to uncertainty of what was approved. Staffs
review of the construction plans concentrated on infrastructure details and not the
aesthetics design of architectural features such as the columns or the entrance
design.
Director Cherbone stated that as the columns were being built City
Councilmembers stated that they appeared too massive and as time went by more
negative complaints were filed with the City.
Minutes

April 19, 2006
Minutes
Director Cherbone noted that he has identified four options regarding the final
determination of the column issue including costs for each option:
. Option 1 - Finish all 13 columns as stand alone structure. Additional
costs: $5,795
. Option 2 - Construct a wooden trellis (based on Warren Heid's design) on
top of the 9 large columns and leave the 4 small columns as stand alone
structures. Additional costs: $20,887
. Option 3 - Remove all 13 columns and install trees and landscaping.
Additional costs:$14,975
. Option 4 - Construct a wooden trellis (based on Warren Heid's design) on
top of the 9 large columns and remove the 4 small columns.
Additional costs: $19,767
Director Cherbone noted that funding for anyone of the options is available in the
construction budget for the Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road Gateway Improvement
Project. Director Cherbone pointed out that the project is well within budget and
has approximately $110,000 left for contingency items.
Nancy Sallen noted that she appreciates the work that went into this project. Ms.
Sallen stated that she saw the artist's rendition of the proposed trellis and totally
supports the design. Ms. Sallen doesn't support removing the columns. Ms.
Sallen supports Option #4.
Judy Heinz noted that she supported the columns stating that you just have to get
use to it. Ms. Heinz stated that she is not in favor using tax payer's dollars to
remove the columns. In regards to the comments of removing them due to the
Feng Shui, Ms. Heinz stated that the City cannot cater to every ethic group in the
community.
Betty Kimball noted that she thinks the small columns should be removed and a
trellis should be added to the larger ones.
Steve Lin stated that the bike lanes along the project site are too narrow and very
dangerous. Mr. Lin also pointed out that he feels the columns are a safety hazard.
Mr. Lin noted he supports removing all of the columns.
Cynthia Cheng noted that she supports options 4 to remove all of the columns, not
because of Feng Shui. Mrs. Cheng stated that in her opinion the columns don't
reflex the City's character.
Nancy Leasia noted that it is fiscally irresponsible to spend more money on this
project. Ms. Leasia stated that the City should leave the pillars alone. Ms. Leasia
noted that she would support a trellis and stated that if need be put this decision on
the June ballot so everyone has an opportunity to voice their opinion on this issue.
Referring to the comments made by Mr. Lin, Mayor Kline asked staff to address
his concems regarding the bike lanes.

April 19, 2006
Minutes
Director Cherbone noted that the current bikes lanes are temporary. Director
Cherbone stated that the final lanes will be five feet wide and clearly marked once
the rain stops.
In regards to the safety concerns, Mayor Kline asked staff to respond.
Director Cherbone noted that the columns are "break away", meaning if a car hits
one they would break apart. If the Council approves adding an arbor they would
have to be structurally altered in order to support the added weight.
Councilmember King asked staff to address the suggestion to place this item on
the June ballot.
City Clerk Boyer explained that the cut off date to place items on the June 2006
ballot was March lOth and added that it would have cost the City an additional
$ lOOk.
Councilmember King noted that she has thought about this issue for the past
months. Councilmember King stated that she was Mayor when the Council
approved the design for the Gateway Project and she admits she made a mistake
and takes responsibility for her decision. Councilmember King noted that she
would vote for Option #3 - removal of all columns and plant trees
Councilmember Waltonsmith noted that the Council has received many email,
phone calls and letters regarding this issue. Councilmember Waltonsmith stated
she doesn't feel that the pillars welcome people into the community but rather
looks like a barrier. Councilmember Waltonsmith stated that the pillars are ugly
and supports Option #3.
Councilmember Streit stated that he takes responsibility for approving the original
design and noting that in 2001 he was on the Gateway Task Force.
Councilmember Streit stated the project received one-time money from CalTran
and the Task Force waned to make a statement. Councilmember Streit stated that
he was not in favor of removing the columns - he supports Option #4.
Councilmember Streit stated that a trellis should be added and if four is a bad
number then remove one of the small columns.
Vice Mayor Kao noted that there was a lot of public input on this project and the
Arts Commisison also participated on its design. Vice Mayor Kao noted that she
concurred with Councilmember Streit but added that all four of the small columns
be removed.
Mayor Kline stated that an enormous amount of time went into this project but not
a lot of discussion was about the columns. Mayor Kline stated that he spoke to
Stan Bogosian and he thought he approved a trellis. Mayor Kline noted that that a
trellis wouldn't be practical because it would hang over the street. Mayor Kline
indicated that he doesn't think the columns represent the City. Mayor Kline noted
that he supports Option #3 - removal of all columns and plant trees.

ORIGINATING DEPT: Administrative Svcs
PREPARED BY:
~
Vivi Gon
Accounting Supervisor
SUBJECT: Treasurer's Report for the Month Ended March 2006
RECOMMENDED ACTION
That the City Council accepts the monthly Treasurer's Report.
REPORT SUMMARY
California govemment code section 41004 requires that the City Treasurer (the Municipal Code
of the City of Saratoga, Article 2-20, Section 2-20.035, designates the City Manager as the City
Treasurer) submit to the City Clerk and the legislative body a written report and accounting of all
receipts, disbursements, and fund balances.
41004. Regularly, at least once each month, the city treasurer shall submit to the city
clerk a written report and accounting of all receipts, disbursements, and fund balances.
He shall file a copy with the legislative body.
Additionally with the passage of Chapter 687, Statutes of 2000 (AB 943 Dutra), effective
January I, 2001 cities are now required to forward copies of their second and fourth quarter
calendar year investment portfolio reports to the California Debt and Investment Advisory
Commission (CDlAC) within 60 days.
The CDlAC will use the report as an additional opportunity to examine public investment
practices in a more consistent basis than before.
Cities, such as the City of Saratoga, that are 100 percent invested in the Local Agency Investment
Fund (LAIF) are exempt from the new investment portfolio reporting requirements and are only
required to send a letter to CDlAC indicating the total and composition of their investments.
This Treasurer's Report will satisfy our reporting requirement to the CDlAC.
The following pages in the attachment provide various financial data and analysis for the City of
Saratoga's Funds collectively as well as specifically for the City's General (Operating) Fund,
including an attachment from the State Treasurer's Office of Quarterly LAIF rates from the 151
Quarter of 1977 to present.

SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2006-2007 Appropriation Limit
RECOMMENDED ACTION
By roll call vote, adopt resolution selecting calculation factors and setting the Appropriations
Limit for the 2006/2007 Fiscal Year as required by Article xmB of the California Constitution.
REPORT SUMMARY
On November 6, 1979 California voters approved Proposition 4, commonly known as the Gann
Spending Limitation Initiative, establishing Article XlIIB ofthe State Constitution. This
proposition, which became effective in Fiscal Year 1980-81, mandated an appropriation
(spending) limit on the amount of tax revenues that the State and most local government
jurisdictions may appropriate within a fiscal year. This limit grows annually by a population and
cost-of-living factor.
The State Appropriation Limit was since modified by two subsequent initiatives - Proposition 98
in 1988 and proposition 111 in 1990. Proposition 98 established the return of tax revenues
exceeding appropriation limit levels to the State citizens through a process of refunds, rebates, or
other means. Proposition 111 allowed more flexibility in the appropriation calculation factors.
Only tax proceeds are subject to this limit. Charges for services, fees, grants, loans, donations
and other non-tax proceeds are excluded. Exemptions are also made for voter-approved debt,
debt that existed prior to January I, 1979, and for the cost of compliance with court or Federal
govemment mandates.
The State Constitution requires that prior to June 30 of each year, the Council select calculation
factors, and set the City's appropriations limit for the following fiscal year. Each year's limit is
based on the amount of tax proceeds that were authorized to be spent in fiscal year 1978-79, with
inflationary adjustments made annually to reflect increases in population and cost-of-living.
REPORT DISCUSSION
On an annual basis staff receives the percentage change per capita personal income and the
percentage population change within the City and the County from the California State
Department of Finance. This information is used to calculate the City of Saratoga's Proposition
4 (Gann) Appropriations Limit for the following fiscal year (2006-07).
Staff recommends that the Council continue its previous policy of setting the highest allowable
limit to provide future administrations with maximum fiscal flexibility.
The calculation is as follows:
Fiscal Year 2006-2007 ADDrooriation Limit Calculation
% Increase Change in FY 04/05 FY 05/06
in Per Capita Appropriation Appropriation Appropriation
Population Income Factor Limit Limit
1.0034' (x)' 1.0396 = 1.04313464 (x) 26,078,624 - 27,203,516
The proposed tax revenues are as follows:
FY 2006-2007 AdoDted Tax Revenues
Property Tax 3,644,900
Property Tax - Supplemental 199,300
Sales Tax 812,000
Triple Flip 215,100
Transient Occupancy Tax 126,300
Franchise Tax 1,035,800
Business License Tax 361,000
Documentary Transfer Tax 509,100
Construction Tax 250,000
Subtotal 7,153,500
ProDertv Tax - in lieu of VLF 2,125,200
Total Tax Revenues 9,278,700
In accordance with the instruction from the State Controller Office, the Property Tax - in lieu of
Vehicle License Fee should be included in tax revenues. In the prior year report staff had
recommended this revenue be excluded from the tax revenues calculation pending direction from
the State Controller. The tax revenues figure of $9,278,700 is $17,924,816 below the
appropriation limit of$27,203,516 equating to 34% ofthe limit.
FISCAL IMPACTS
The following table provides a trend analysis of Tax Revenues to the Appropriation Limit.

Tax to Limit 32.65% 34.01% 34.11% 34.88% 35.32% 35.95%
Estimates for the Tax Revenues and the Limits were applied a two year percentage growth trend.
The estimated Tax Revenues growths were 7.81 % for fiscal year 2007-08,6.22% for fiscal year
2008-09 and 7.02% for fiscal year 2009-10. The estimated growths for the Limits were based on
5.44% for fiscal year 2007-08, 4.88% for fiscal year 2008-09 and 5.16% for fiscal year 2009-10.
There is a strong indication that the on-going level of Tax Revenues will remain well below the
future year's appropriation margins.

Dear Fiscal Officer:
Subject: Price and Population Information
Appropriations Limit
The California Revenue and Taxation Code, Section 2227, mandates the Department of Finance (Finance)
to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments. Each local jurisdiction
must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 2006, in conjunction with a change in
the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations limit for fiscal year 2006-07. Enclosure I
provide the change in California's per capita personal income and an example for utilizing the price factor
and population percentage change factor to calculate the 2006-07 appropriations limit. Enclosure II provides
city and unincorporated county population percentage changes, and Enclosure IIA provides county and
incorporated areas population percentage changes. The population percentage change data exciudes
federai and state institutionalized populations and military populations, as noted.
Population Percent Change for Special Districts
Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit. Consult the Revenue and Taxation
Code, Section 2228, for the various population options available to special districts to assess population
change in their district. Article XIII B, Section 9, of the State Constitution exempts certain special districts
from the appropriations limit calculation mandate. Special districts required by law to calculate their
appropriations limit must present the calculation as part of their annual audit. No State agency reviews the
local appropriations limits.
Population Certification
The population certification program applies only to cities and counties. Revenue and Taxation Code
Section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify any population estimate that exceeds the
current certified population with the State Controller's Office. Finance will certify the higher estimate to
the State Controller by June 2, 2006.
Please Note: City population estimates are controlled to independently calculated county population
estimates. Due to county estimates revisions; prior year's city population estimates may have also been
revised.
If you have any questions regarding this data, please contact the Demographic Research Unit
at (916) 323-4086.

Enclosure I
A. Price Factor: Article XIII B specifies that local jurisdictions select their
cost-of-Iiving factor tp compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their governing
body. The cost-of-Iiving factor provided here is per capita personal income. If the
percentage change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage.
change to be used in setting the 2006-2007 appropriation limit is:
Per Capita Personal Income
Fiscal Year
(FY)
Percentage change
over prior year
2006-2007
3.96
B. Following is an example using sample population change and the change in
Califomia per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2006-2007
appropriation limit.
2006-2007:
Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 3.96 percent
Population Change = 1.21 percent
Per Capita Cost of Living converted to a ratio:
3.96+100 = 1.0396
100
Population converted to a ratio:
1.21 + 100 = 1.0121

Calculation of factor for FY 2006-2007:
1.0396 x 1.0121 = 1.0522

SUBJECT: Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Saratoga and the Saratoga
Amateur Radio Association.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Accept report and authorize City Manager to execute Memorandum of Understanding.
REPORT SUMMARY:
In the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the recent earthquake in Pakistan all levels of
govemment have been examining the status oftheir preparedness for emergencies. At the
October 5, 2005 Council meeting, Council placed on a future Council agenda the status of
emergency preparedness for the City of Saratoga.
One key area of preparedness planning is that of emergency communications. It is expected that
in the aftermath of a major earthquake telephone and cell phone systems will be damaged or
overloaded. The City is developing a two-way radio system that is intended to provide internal
communications in such an event. The City's Traveler's Information System AM radio system is
intended to provide a channel of communications with the public.
One of amateur radio's functions is emergency communications. After Hurricane Katrina it was
evident that the emergency communication capabilities provided by this system worked quite
well under adverse circumstances.
Therefore, the City of Saratoga wishes to enter into a formal agreement with the Saratoga
Amateur Radio Association to provide emergency communications capability for the community.
They have agreed to assist the city by:
. Conducting monthly emergency communications checks between the Community EOC at
the Saratoga Fire Station and the County EOC.
. Providing technical assistance for operating and maintaining the City's Traveler's
Information System AM radio station.
. Providing auxiliary communications assistance to the city in the event of an emergency.
In return, the City will agree to:
. Make space available for an amateur radio repeater and antenna at the City Corp Yard
. Provide storage for an antenna trailer
Amateur Radio operators assisting the City will be registered volunteer Disaster Services
Workers and will train along City staff members at the Community's Emergency Operations
Center.
FISCAL IMPACTS:

Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Saratoga and the
Saratoga Amateur Radio Association
20f2
Memorandum of Understanding Between
the City of Saratoga and the
Saratoga Amateur Radio Association
1. Purpose
The purpose of this document is to state the terms of a mutual agreement
(Memorandum of Understanding) between the City of Saratoga (CITY) and the
Saratoga Amateur Radio Association (SARA). This document will serve as a
framework within which radio amateur volunteers coordinate their services,
personal equipment, and facilities with the CITY to support a City of Saratoga
emergency communications function. It is intended, through joint coordination
and utilization of resources ofthe City of Saratoga and the SARA, to enhance
emergency communications readiness for any possible disaster.
2. Orl!anization of SARA
As established by the Federal Communications Commission's Rules and
Regulations (47 C.F.R. Part 97.1), a primary responsibility of the Amateur Radio
Service is to render public service communications for the general public,
particularly in times of emergency when normal communications are not
available. Using the amateur frequency bands, Amateur Radio operators have
been serving the general public, both directly and through govemmental and relief
agencies, for more than 50 years. To this end, the American Radio Relay League
(ARRL), the national association for radio amateurs, organized the Amateur
Radio Emergency Service (ARES). Saratoga Amateur Radio Association is a
member of ARES.
3. Radio Amateur Civil Emerl!encv Service
The Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) is an emergency service
function defined under Part 97 of the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) Rules. (47 C.F.R. ~ 97.407). RACES is a special phase ofamateurradio
operation that provides radio communications to local or State civil preparedness
agencies during periods oflocal, regional, or national civil emergencies. All of
the authorized frequencies and emissions allocated to the Amateur Radio Service
are also available to RACES on a shared basis. In the event that the President of
the United States invokes War Emergency Powers, RACES operators, using
specially authorized frequencies, would be the only Amateur Radio Operators
permitted on the air. ARES members may hold dual membership in RACES and
may be licensed RACES operators. SARA operators are RACES Radio Officers.
I
4. Orl!anization of the City of Saratol!a
The City of Saratoga is a municipal corporation that provides service to about
30,000 persons within Santa Clara County. The CITY has established an
Emergency Plan and made preparations to respond to emergencies when called
upon to do so. The City Manager, or the City Manager's designee, is authorized
to activate the Emergency Plan in accordance with the appropriate emergency
guidelines. The CITY intends to manage all disaster responses to protect its
residents, businesses, and infrastructure using the City of Saratoga Emergency
Plan.
5. Al!reement to Cooperate
The CITY recognizes that SARA is an organization of primarily Saratoga-resident
radio amateurs which, because of its organized emergency communications
capability, can be of valuable assistance in providing critical and essential
communications during disasters when normal lines of communications are
disrupted or overloaded. The CITY hereby recognizes SARA as the official
RACES and ARES organization for the City of Saratoga.
The SARA organization recognizes the CITY as a municipal corporation,
providing general governmental services (including emergency services)
operating within the boundaries of the City of Saratoga.
6. Method of Cooperation
For the communications resources of SARA to be coordinated and used to the
fullest advantage during emergencies, and to the extent permitted or required by

party making the change will notify the other party to this
Agreement as soon as practical.
2) SARA and the CITY will engage in an on-going dialogue on
emergency preparedness with each other. They will urge both staff
and volunteers to create and maintain appropriate communications
and effective relationships at all levels of both organizations.
3) SARA will work with the CITY in pre-emergency planning, drills,
exercises, and training programs at the CITY operational level.

study session to review the ordinance in more detail.
Staff is recommending that the item be continued to allow the Council to meet with the Planning
Commission during a study session. At the study session the City Attorney can explain the need for
the City to adopt the State regulations and answer questions from the Council and Commission
concerning the proposed ordinance. The study session has been tentatively scheduled for June 7,
2006.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
Planning staff and the City Attorney's Office can accomplish the ordinance update. The Community
Development Department is a self-funded department. The time spent on the ordinance update will
reduce the amount of billing hours available to staff. The time spent for the City Attorney to review
the ordinances will be paid for out ofthe General Fund.
FOLLOW UP ACTIONS:
Staff will proceed as directed by Council.

SUBJECT: Approve Agreement with Granicus Inc. for Streaming Video
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Accept report and authorize City Manager to execute agreement with Granicus Inc. for a sole
source purchase for video streaming and related services and equipment.
REPORT SUMMARY:
Staff Analvsis
The City of Saratoga is located in the heart of Silicon Valley, technology capitol of the Bay Area.
Most households utilize the internet, so with this in mind it would seem natural that the City
would want to provide the public with more access to the public process beyond requiring the
physical attendance of a meeting or having to be in the City to watch meetings broadcasted on
KSAR Channel 15. Moving the City towards "E-Government" also happens to be one of Mayor
Kline's goals. This year the City has contracted with the City of Palo Alto to redesign the City's
website and has broadened the City's contract with ECS Imaging to embark on a large Public
Works Department Imaging Project.
After months of research and consulting with other cities staff would like to introduce Thao Hill,
Western Regional Director/Granicus Inc. Mr. Hill will provide Council with a visual
presentation of streaming video. Granicus Inc. has developed its program specifically for local
govemments, with a focus on City Clerk functions. Staff was unable to identifY any other vendor
that can offer a product designed to meet the need of meeting workflow, along with integration of
documents, capturing votes and the preparation of minutes.
Using streaming video is a convenient option for residents and the business community who have
a desire to get involved in local government and hear what their elected leaders are saying.
The proposed system and solution from Granicus Inc. would be configured for Council Chamber
for use by the City Council and the Planning Commission. Meetings would continue to be
broadcast live on KSAR Channel 15. Additionally, meetings would be streaming live on the
City's website. This enables the business community and the public without cable TV to view
the meetings live. The streamed video would then be available for us to archive and upload to
Granicus Inc. This on-demand feature would allow users to view video at the leisure. Achieved
meetings would be accessible on the City's website with multiple jurnp points. These indexes
allow users to jump directly to specific points on the agenda as it plays the archives. The
solution also allow for a keyword search based on all the index points associated with the
complete library of video archives.
Staff plans to incorporate minutes and staff reports with the meeting index, which would
interface and allow users to simultaneously access archived video and documents pertaining to
specific agenda items. A user can jump to a specific agenda item and view the associated
attachments while watching the streaming video.

Conclusion
Staff is recommending that Council authorize the City Manager to execute the agreernent with
Granicus Inc. Staff has provided two attachments. Attachment A is a brochure from Granicus
called "Internet Broadcasting and Archiving for Local Government" which will provide Council
information covering topics such as: the Benefits of Granicus Solutions, Opportunity with
Functionality, and Customer Testimonials and a list of customers who are currently using
Granicus products. Attachment B is the proposal, including two options, for purchasing the
Granicus solution.. The difference between the two options is Option 2 includes MediaVault
which would ensure that the City is maximizing our existing network infrastructure, audio/video
archive requires storage, management and delivery.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
Funds for this purchase have been appropriated in the FY 06-07 Budget.
Option 1 - Granicus MediaManager Basic and MinuteMaker
$18,137 - One time cost for equipment, installation and training
$1,000 - Monthly maintenance fee

Customers Speakout
City of Berkeley
"Dur implementation with Granicus is much more cost-effective and comprehensive than
in-house alternatives."
-Weldon Rucker, City Manager, City of Berkeley,
"We have saved staff time and improved customer service during a time of fiscal constraint by
giving website visitors 24x7 access to information. This is a great example of how technology
should be used to increase civic participation and make local government more effective."
- Donna LaSala, E-Government Manager, City of Berlleley
City of EI Segundo
"This solution is working out great. Viewers can jump to a particular item immediately without
having to wade through the entire meeting. Indexing with a keyword search turns streaming
into a powerful and convenient information source."
"In addition, the Granicus solution includes features specifically designed with cities and coun-
ties in mind, such as closed-captioning support, and web applications that are American
Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant. The Granicus Enterprise solution also supports one of the
newer California mandates: Assembly Bill 1962 (AB 1962): the updated public records law,
which requires archival of electronic records for the same duration as other public records."
"We know that by partnering with Granicus, our streaming media solution will keep pace with
the needs of our staff, our elected officials and the public."
- Mayor Mike Gordon, City of EI Segundo
City of Cerritos
"Some of the other streaming media solutions we reviewed were three times more expensive
than Granicus, and didn't even offer the indexed video feature we wanted. Based on the time
saved on information management alone, the Granicus solution will pay for itself in very short
time."
- Mayor Gloria A. Kappe, City of Cerritos
County of Ventura
"By streaming with Granicus vs. cable broadcast, we have saved in the area of $300k-$400k,
and it's more convenient for our constituents."
"Because the Granicus solution automatically records and digitally archives the Board of
Supervisors meetings, Ventura County may soon eliminate the use of their current tape record-
ing system used to archive meetings."
- Supervisor Frank Shillo, County of Ventura
"By having our meetings archived and searchable on the Internet, staff and citizens can
retrieve the meeting records they need on their own. Helping to reduce the workload on the
clerk's office by up to 25%."
- Johnny Johnston, County CEO, County of Ventura

Via email
Kathleen,
Granicus looks forward to developing a successful long-term relationship with The City of Saratoga.
By selecting Granicus as your streaming media solution provider, you will greatly improve external
and internal access to your public meetings. These meetings will be available live over the
Internet, and as searchable archives that can be used for efficient long-term record keeping.
Streaming with Granicus improves public access beyond what can be provided through cable
broadcast. The availability of searchable archives allows a section of any meeting to be retrieved
at anytime using a simple keyword search. In addition, documents like staff reports, agenda's,
and minutes can be synchronized and linked to your audio and video archive all of which will be
available through the City's web site.
While public meeting broadcasts are a compelling and popular use of your Granicus solution, your
system can be used by all City departments to present video content internally or externally over
the web. Other cities use the Granicus solution to deliver public education content, public service
announcements, and video on demand training.
The Granicus solution delivers the functionality desired by The City of Saratoga, and does it in a
way that minimizes the overall cost. Our proposed solution integrates with your current
infrastructure and audio video equipment instead of replacing or duplicating it. Additionally, the
storage and distribution of your streaming content is offloaded to the Granicus Media Center
eliminating your need to invest in additional dedicated bandwidth and servers, which are necessary
to support streaming. By automating processes that would normally be done manually the Granicus

At Granicus, we recognize that a great product is only part of what keeps our clients satisfied. For
that reason, Granicus provides 24/7 technical support and onsite user training. We also take full
responsibility for maintaining and monitoring the technology that powers your solution, so that you

Web site integration includes incorporating the public components of the Granicus Media
Management" software into the client's website, matching the look and feel, and integrating the
navigation. This service also includes the custom design of a client specific pop-up video player, or
skin, and a custom agenda parser to increase indexing quality and efficiency. In addition, our
MinutesMaker feature can be customized to provide automatic generation of cross-linked meeting
minutes to meet your specific needs.
Onsite InstallatiOllIt Traininq:
Onsite installation of hardware at client's location includes configuration of: analog audio and
video feeds to the encoder, Internet and LAN connectivity, configuration of firewalls and proxies,
all hardware with power and backup power supplies, and final system configuration with the
Granicus Media Center. Once the system is up and running Granicus' engineers finish the setup by
tuning the audio and video remotely. A training session concludes the on site visit.
Once the system is installed, our engineers will remotely monitor your equipment to assure that it
is continually operating to original specifications.
Granlcus MediaManagerlM Software
Granicus MediaManager'" consists of proprietary web-based software tools designed to efficiently
organize and manage your streaming content. These tools put the control of broadcast activity,
user account management, live event management, and usage reporting in your hands.
The software has been broken up into four segments to meet the unique needs for a variety of
local government agencies. These three components are: 1) Media Manager'" - Basic, 2)
MediaManager'" - Enterprise, and 3) MediaManager"', - MinutesMaker. Each of these components
are described in detail below. MediaManager'" - Basic is the foundation technology of every
solution and is required before adding the Enterprise or MinutesMaker software modules.
MedlaManaller" Basic
Public Site:
Our solution includes several pages for your Internet users to access on-demand media and live
broadcasts. Users will use these pre-built pages to search out specific footage, and jump to specific
events within your audio/video archive. The Granicus solution also allows for a key word search
based on all of the index points associated with the City's complete library of video archives. This
functionality substantially increases the convenience of access to and use of meeting archives.
Around these core pages you can instantly control user access using a registration and log in
system. All public web pages are seamlessly integrated Into your current website, so that the look
and feel of your site remains consistent. The MediaManager - Basic software license allows for one
custom build archiving listing page, and one video skin. By adding MediaManagerlM - Enterprise you
will the ability to create and customize an unlimited number of public pages by utilizing our
templates and views tools. See MediaManager'" - Enterprise for more information.
Protected Administration Site:
As a client of Granicus, you will have access to a web based administrative site that will allow you
to create and manage archives, schedule and index live events, link documents and minutes of
meeting to the video, view real time usage reporting, and configure content distribution. You will
also have access to a series of video editing tools that can be used to enhance your on-demand
content once it has been broadcasted or encoded.
. Media Acquisition tools give you the ability to add audio and video content to your
content library from a variety of sources. Utilizing the Granicus Outcast'" encoder, live
events can be simultaneously broadcast and archived to the library easily and directly
through the live event manager. During a broadcast you can add times stamped data, such
as agenda item indices or slides, allowing you to create rich multimedia presentations. You
are also given a simple media import tool that can be used to import any pre-encoded
content from your desktop into your archive listing. Finally, the Granicus Outcast'"
encoder, which is included with MediaManager'" . Basic, can be used to encode your analog
video by replacing the live signal with that of a standard video playback device such as a
standard VCR or DVD player. In this scenario, the same capture tools for managing a live
broadcast can be used to make your valued offline content available online. Granicus also
offers in house from encoding from VHS or DVD as part of our professional services.
. Automatic Live Event Scheduler and Archive Publishing . Live events, such as City
Supervisors meetings, can be easily scheduled to be both broadcast live and archive
through the Granicus Live Event Manager. By utilizing this tool, the City will not require
staff time or technical assistance to start, stop or archive their live events. Archives are
automatically transferred from the Granicus OutCast" encoder to the Granicus
MediaCenter" and automatically published the City's web site. These features
substantially decrease the need for staff time to manage content creation and publishing to
the City's web site.
. Media Clip Administration provides clients the tools to create, edit, delete, index, trim
and merge digital video clips. Once the media is in the archive library you can utilize
indexing tools that allow you to set multiple "Jump To" points into the video, providing
your end user the ability to easily navigate your streaming content. Various other editing
and organizational tools allow you to modify your archives and add to the searchable Meta
data associated with each archive.
. Meeting Agenda Parser allows the City to index its video archives based on agenda item
titles, by automatically pulling the agenda item titles and descriptions from the City's
agenda and loading them into the Granicus MediaManager". These agenda item titles are
than loaded into the live event manager, which allows you to index your video in real time
by simply clicking on an agenda item title and pressing enter when the council or board
begins discussing that issue. Other solutions, if they offer indexing, force you to manually
retype and load the text for each agenda item. The Agenda Parser feature assures quality
indexing and substantially decreases the staff time need to create indices.
. Searchable Indexes - Audio and Video archives, which are viewable over the Internet, can
be easily indexed with multiple jump points through the Granicus MediaManager" software.
These indexes allow users to jump directly to the specific point in the City's audio/video
archive. The Granicus solution also allows for a key word search based on all of the index
points associated with the City's complete library of video archives. for example a key
word search on "Water" will return to the user a direct link to all of the audio/video
archives, which discuss water usage in the City. This functionality substantially increases
the convenience of access to meeting archives.
. Searchable Clased Captioning - The Granicus solution supports the use of closed
captioning, and the association of the captioning with the streaming media. Captions are
viewable during live and archived streaming for full ADA compliance. for archived
meetings the captions can also be searched by key words allowing the user to jump to the
appropriate point in the video archive. In addition captions can also be used to create a
transcript for a particular agenda item through the Granicus MediaManager" Software.
. Document Management enables documents to be manually loaded and linked to video
archives and directly associated to the appropriate agenda items, resulting in a searchable
archive that includes both the audio/video record of your meeting and the staff reports or
other documents that were used during the meeting. Cross-linking documents and
audio/video archives provide the most comprehensive records archive system available. To
improve the efficiency of integrating and linking your meeting documents with your
meeting audio / video see the Document management Integration option included with
MinutesLinker".
. CD Download with Indexing - AudiolVideo Archives can be quickly downloaded and burned
to CD by any administrator of the Granicus solution. The CD download also includes the
agenda item indexing information so users of the CD can still jump directly to the agenda
items they are interested in. This tool conveniently provides offline copies of your
meetin!l5 for those citizens without Internet access.
. Media Delivery subsystems, such as the Granicus StreamReplicator'" and MediaVault'",
maximize your existing infrastructure investment by allowing you to deliver content using
local storage and bandwidth when appropriate. These systems function transparently as
part of the Granicus solution, and complement the robust delivery architecture at the
Granicus MediaCenterlM. No special training is required to operate these devices as they
function autonomously and are controlled by Granicus MediaManager'" software.
. Summary Reports provide you with detailed usage reports concerning: streaming requests,
average user bandwidth, outbound bandwidth, content popularity, and media storage
usage.
MediaManaller- - MinutesMaker-
. Granicus MinutesMaker" acts as a substitute to the City Clerk's current live audio
recording equipment and minutes annotation tools, making it simple to annotate your
meeting minutes live during the meeting. By using the Minutes Maker software you can
capture motions, votes, and discussion summaries as they occur leaving you with minimal
annotation work the next morning. The MinutesMaker'" software logic is based on Robert's
Rules of Order and standard parliamentary procedure. Thus, allowing the system to easily
record a variety of motion types including, amendments, substitute, and free form
motions. In addition, the system easily handles updating of the role call during the
meeting, recording the times that voting members join and leave a meeting. Votes are
recorded live through a simple interface, which defaults all members to yes or absent
based on their current attendance at the meeting. Every item that is annotated through
the software is automatically linked to the audio and video record of your meeting as you
type, enabling very efficient cleanup of your minutes after the meeting.
If the Clerk does need to review the audio of the meeting the next day in order to update
their minutes, you can simply click on the text of your minutes and the MinutesMakerlM
software will play back the audio and video from that precise point in the meeting. While
you are watching or listing to the meeting record you can simply and quickly edit the text
of your minutes. As a result, you will no longer have to spend hours fast forwarding and
rewinding through the audio tape of your meeting in order to finish you minutes.
. Minutes Templates are utilized to format the look and feel of your minutes document.
Using the minutes template tools Granicus will develop an HTML minutes document that
looks virtually identical to your current minutes format. However, the new minutes
document will include links to the audio I video archive of your meeting as well as links to
the appropriate supporting documents like staff reports for that meeting.
. Mobile Encoder Option - The Granicus MinutesMakerlM also enables you to utilize the
Granicus MobileEncoderlM. The MobileEncoder'" will allow you to utilize all of the
functionality of MinutesMaker'" to record and index the audio I video of your meeting, and
take your meeting annotations at a remote location without Internet access. When you
return to your office, you can simple upload the audio file to the Granicus Media Manager.
At which point it can be automatically published to the City's web site or edited just like
the meetings that take place in the council or board chambers.
. Document it Agenda Management Integration - Granicus MinutesMaker'" allows for the
integration of the Granicus Streaming media solution with a document management or
agenda management solutions in order to create the most complete and accessible archive
of your public meetings and legislative history. Granicus and its partners are working
together to produce a system that will archive and manage all aspects of your public
meeting records. This includes meeting agendas, minutes, documents and audio/video
recordings. All of these media types are automatically synchronized and cross-linked
allowing for intuitive web based search and retrieval of information. In addition, the
document and agenda management integration will allow the two systems to automatically
share information and streamlining your agenda and minutes workflow.
. Voting System Integration - Granicus MinutesMaker'" is required for integration with the
Granicus VotingSystem'" software. The Granicus VotingSystem'" workflow is integrated
tightly with the Clerks use of the Granicus MinutesMaker'" software, which together allows
legislative motions, votes, and attendance information to be recorded directly from the
coundl member's finger into the clerks meeting minutes.
Granicus MediaCenter'" . Content Management and Delivery
To cIeIiver reliable, high-quality audio and video content over the Internet you must have a secure
and scalable distribution facility able to support hundreds or thousands of concurrent users; with
this as our goal we created the Granicus MediaCenter"'. The Granicus MediaCenter'" enables us to

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: May 17, 2006
AGENDA ITEM:
'l
P:7&7
ORIGINATING DEPT: Public Works/
City Attorney
CITY MANAGER:
PREPARED BY: Richard Taylor
DEPT. HEAD:
SUBJECT: Contract for Environmental Review of Proposed De Anza Trail
Improvements
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Approve contract with LSA Associates in an amount not to exceed $125,000 to be paid
with grant funds from the Valley Transportation Agency and a private donor.
STAFF REPORT:
At its meeting of September 9, 2005 the City Council directed staff to seek grant funding
to proceed with environmental review of proposed De Anza trail improvement plans. The
Valley Transportation Agency has approved the grant request. A preliminary review of
environmental issues was performed during Phase I of the planning process by LSA
Associates, a subcontractor to the design consultant responsible for Phase I. To avoid
duplication of effort and keep costs to a minimum, staff requested LSA Associates to
prepare the attached scope of work and budget for environmental review. The total cost
of$125,000 reflects work required to comply with the California Environmental Quality
Act and to prepare a variety of more detailed specific reports that may be required by
federal funding agencies depending on the specific sources of future grant funds for trail
construction. If those reports are not ultimately required then the cost of the contract
would be reduced accordingly. The Public Works Department and the City Attorney's
office have reviewed the proposed scope and feel that it is reasonable in light of the
numerous conditions of federal funding that may associated with the project.
The environmental review process would begin upon Council authorization and a draft
document for public review is expected within approximately 6 months. Following
public review, the consultant and staff would respond to public comments to prepare a
final review document for consideration by the City Council.
1
FISCAL IMPACTS: Funds for the contract have been provided by a grant from the
Valley Transportation Agency. That grant requires the City to pay 20% of the project
costs. These costs are being paid by the anonymous donor that earlier offered to support
the planning process for the trail.
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT: Posting of the Agenda, and
in addition this was e-mailed to the deAnza Trail Interested Parties List.
ALTERNATIVES TO PROPOSED ACTION: Rather than working with the
consultant that conducted the initial environmental review the City could seek bids from
other consulting firms.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT ACTING ON RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
Environmental review would not proceed. Environmental review is required prior to
further Council action to proceed with the project.
FOLLOW UP ACTIONS: Staff will implement Council direction.

I. INTRODUCTION
A. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The law firm Shute, Mihaly & Weinberger (SMW) is seeking consultant assistance to prepare envi-
ronmental documentation pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The documentation will evaluate the environmental
impacts of the Saratoga de Anza Trail (project) in the City of Saratoga. LSA Associates, Inc. (LSA)
prepared a preliminary draft Initial Study analyzing the effects of an earlier version of the project in
September 2004. The research and analysis LSA conducted for this Initial Study will be used to pre-
pare the CEQA and NEP A documentation for the revised project.
As we discussed at our meeting on April 25, it is expected that the appropriate environmental review
documents for the project will be an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration to fulfIll CEQA
requirements, and a Categorical Exclusion, with stand-alone technical reports, to fulfill NEP A
requirements. However, the identification of significant unavoidable environmental impacts that
could result from the project, or agency direction to conduct more detailed NEP A review could
require the preparation of more comprehensive environmental review documents. If such documents
are necessary, LSA will notify Shute, Mihaly & Weinberger (SMW) and prepare a revised scope of
work and budget.
It should be noted that the NEP A review for the project (including associated technical reports)
comprises a large proportion of the environmental review effort discussed below. If no NEP A review
was required for the project. the overall scope of work and budget for environmental review included
in this proposal would be substantially reduced. In the following scope of work, we explicitly
indicate the reports that will likely be required to satisfy NEP A requirements so that you can better
understand the large amount of resources dedicated to NEPA review.
The project comprises the construction and use of a bike/pedestrian trail through the City of Saratoga
(City). The project would require discretionary approval on the part of the City and would receive
federal funding; therefore, it would require both CEQA and NEP A review. A conceptual plan for the
trail was prepared by Design Studios West, Inc. in June 2005. The proposed trail would extend
approximately 1.6 miles along a Pacific Gas and Electric (pG&E) easement and Union Pacific Rail-
road property, from Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road in the northwest to Saratoga Avenue in the southeast.
The site extends through a neighborhood comprising mainly single-family residential uses. The corri-
dor is informally used by pedestrians. The project may connect with other existing or planned trails in
the area. The trail, which would be approximately 12 feet wide and would be located south of the
existing railroad tracks, would cross two creeks (Rodeo Creek and Saratoga Creek). Vehicle and
pedestrian access to the trail would be provided at several points along the corridor.

B. PROJECT TEAM
LSA will function as the primary researcher and writer of the project environmental documentation.
We will work closely with SMW to ensure the legal adequacy of the ISIMND and CEo
The LSA team will be directed by David Clore, AlCP, Principal, and Adam Weinstein, Senior
Planner. David will oversee project management, and ensure that all tasks are completed in an effi-
cient, cost-effective and timely manner. Adam will lead the day-to-day project management, includ-
ing coordination of our in-house staff and subconsultants. Other LSA staff who will work on this
project include:
. Amy Fischer, Senior Planner, will be responsible for conducting the air quality and noise analy-
sis.
. Ray Moe, Principal, will analyze the transportation, traffic, and circulation impacts of the trail
project, including car/pedestrianlbike conflicts.
. Christian Gerike, Principal, will direct the analysis of cultural and paleontological resources.
Christian will oversee the efforts of various other staff who will conduct background historic
research, site surveys, and evaluate the eligibility of historic features in the trail corridor.
. Steve Granholm, Principal, will oversee the evaluation of biological resources issues in the trail
corridor. Steve will work closely with LSA biologists, wetlands specialists, and botanists to
analyze the effects of the project on sensitive resources.
We will be supported by Baseline Environmental Consulting (Baseline). Baseline will analyze the
project's impacts on hydrology/water quality and hazardous materials. Key staff at Baseline that
would work on the project include Yane Nordhav, P.G., Julie Pettijohn, M.P.H., R.E.A., and
Ralph Russen, Environmental Specialist.
The LSA team is committed to working closely with SMW to discuss project issues as they arise,
address policy and planning-related issues, and meet or talk regularly to discuss environmental docu-
mentation strategy. Our proposed work program includes time for several longer conference calls,
meetings, and public hearings/workshops.

II. PROPOSED WORK PROGRAM
This chapter outlines the work program for completing environmental documentation for the pro-
posed trail. Tasks A and B cover the technical analyses we anticipate will be needed to satisfy CEQA
and NEP A requirements. A summary of the work program is provided in Table I. Our proposed work
schedule is presented in Chapter m.
TASKA. PROJECT INITIATION
Project initiation will include several tasks, including preliminary meetings, compiling and distribut-
ing relevant documents, and contacting responsible agencies and City departments. The project
description for the environmental documents will also be prepared as part of project initiation sub-
tasks. LSA will also confirm the appropriate significance criteria for the IS/MND.
1. Start-Up Meeting
LSA will meet with staff to discuss environmental review strategy, timeline, and research tasks. At
this time, we will also organize and distribute project plans and existing background reports.
2. Site Visit
As one of the initial steps in this scope of work, the LSA planner will undertake a site visit. He will
walk through and photograph the trail corridor and its surroundings in order to document existing
conditions and site features.
3. Base Map Preparation
A base map of the project site and vicinity will be prepared by LSA. The project site base map will be
used to illustrate street and lot layouts in the project site vicinity, the project site's relationship to sur-
rounding blocks, surrounding land uses, and General Plan and Zoning designations. We will rely on
materials prepared by Design Studios West as inputs for this task.
4. Data Gathering and Evaluation
Existing data and analyses applicable to the project site and vicinity will be collected and evaluated.
In addition, LSA will contact responsible agencies and City departments that may have information
about the project site or insight into potential environmental impacts. Excluding City departments,
these agencies could include: the Bay Area Air Quality Management District; the San Francisco
Regional Water Quality Control Board; and the Department of Toxic Substances Control. We will
also contact the Union Pacific Railroad Company for its concerns about the project. LSA will send
comment request letters to organizations that may have an interest in the historic significance of the
property, including the Native American Heritage Commission and the Santa Clara County Historical
and Genealogical Society.

5. Prepare Project Description
LSA will prepare the proj ect description based on
materials provided by SMW and Design Studios
West. The project description will include a
description of the project site and vicinity, previous
trail development proposals, project objectives,
details of the proposed project (including funding
sources), the approval process, and development
schedule.
6. Significance Criteria
LSA will prepare a set of significance criteria for
review by SMW. These criteria will be based on
the CEQA Guidelines and previous CEQA
documents prepared for projects in Saratoga. They
can also incorporate goals and policies from the
City General Plan.
7. Work Program Refinement
Based on additional knowledge of project funding
sources, and the results of preliminary research on
the project site, it may be necessary to refine the
work program. LSA will work with SMW to refine
the work program, if necessary, to ensure adequate
CEQA and NEP A review and address any envi-
ronmental issues that are not yet adequately
addressed in this work program. LSA will present
the refined work program and budget to SMW for
review and approval.

ANALYSIS
LSA will conduct an analysis of the project's impacts in the following topical areas: land use and
planning; aesthetics; agriculture resources; air quality; biological resources; cultural resources; geol-
ogy and soils; hazards and hazardous materials; hydrology and water quality; mineral resources;
noise; population and housing; public services, utilities, and recreation; and transportation and
circulation. Mitigation measures to reduce significant effects to a less-than-significant level will be
recommended as appropriate.
This analysis would be used to support an IS/MND and a CE (although additional technical analysis
may be required by Caltrans for the CE). Agriculture, mineral resources and populationlhousing
issues are expected to require minimal environmental documentation (because the trail project is not
expected to result in impacts in these areas). Because we are recommending that a CE be prepared to
satisfy NEPA requirements (as opposed to an ENFONSI or EIS), we do not think that an analysis of

SHUT!. WIHALY .. WEINBERG!R
the trail's potential socioeconomic impacts (including environmental justice implications) is neces-
sary. Our proposed analysis of the other topics listed above is described below. Due to the importance
of the topic and its context-setting nature, Land Use and Planning Policy will be presented first and
followed in alphabetical order by the other topics.
1. Land Use and Planning Policy
The Land Use and Planning Policy analysis will focus on the project's relationship to local land use
patterns and relevant planning policy. LSA will discuss land use compatibility issues (e.g., trail use in
a predominantly residential area), planning policy consistency (requiring close coordination with
SMW), and the trail's potential to connect to local and regional open space/trail networks. We will
also evaluate the effects of potential land or easement acquisition along the trail corridor.
2. Aesthetics
Because the trail would be built in an area that is already informally used by pedestrians and would
not involve the construction of significant buildings (although it is anticipated that small informa-
tional kiosks could be constructed on the site), the project is not expected to result in significant
impacts to visual resources. Formalization of the trail landscape (along with increased use) could
result in beneficial impacts to visual quality. LSA will analyze the aesthetic impacts of the project,
including potential inconsistencies with visual resources-related policies. No lighting would be
installed as part of the project, so the trail is not expected to increase glare or reduce the quality of
nighttime views in Saratoga.
3. Air Quality
Railroad corridors are notorious for containing high levels of soil contamination due to buildup of
petrochemical-based particulates, historic herbicide application, and toxic materials used to preserve
railroad ties. Based on background research and the hazardous materials analysis prepared by
Baseline, LSA will evaluate construction- and operational-period air quality impacts of the project,
including potential human health effects resulting from ground disturbance during the trail construc-
tion period. LSA will also describe potential beneficial effects of the trail project on air quality, due to
increased bike commute rates and reduced automobile use. We will supplement this discussion with
studies of the effects of similar trail projects on automobile use.
4. Biological Resources
The trail corridor has been subject to significant human disturbance since at least the late 1800s, when
regular railroad service through the area was instituted. However, unlike surrounding areas, much of
the site was not developed with intensive urban uses (e.g., subdivisions and retail uses). As a result,
parts of the trail corridor today contain mature trees, scrub vegetation, and riparian areas (although no
rare plants are expected to occur in the area). The proposed project has the potential to affect these
resources, some of which are protected by local, State, and federal natural resources regulations. The
technical reports discussed below will adequately analyze the project's effects on biological resources
and fulfill CEQA requirements. Based on our experience with similar projects, we also believe that
these reports will satisfy NEP A requirements (however, the responsible federal agency may require
additional analyses not listed here). The Natural Environment Study is prepared specifically to satisfy

Task 4a - Biological Assessment
LSA will conduct a reconnaissance-level biological assessment of the project site to assess potential
impacts to any special-status animal species that may occur on or in the vicinity of the site. Prior to
conducting fieldwork, LSA will review pertinent sources related to potential special-status species in
the area, including the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) and will contact biologists
familiar with the region.
Following the records search, an LSA wildlife biologist will conduct a one day reconnaissance-level
site visit to identify and map existing habitat types and potential habitat for special-status animal spe-
cies. A primary focus of the survey will be to determine the quality of riparian habitat, if present, at
the two proposed creek crossings (Rodeo Creek and Saratoga Creek), and to assess whether these two
areas could potentially support special-status species.
After fieldwork is completed, LSA will prepare a written report and habitat map describing the results
of the field survey. The report will also identify potential project-related impacts to special-status spe-
cies, jurisdictional wetlands and/or other waters of the United States (U.S.), as well as conceptual
mitigation measures to minimize these impacts, if necessary. These measures may include recom-
mendations regarding construction methods, seasonal timing of construction, and buffers around sen-
sitive resources.
This scope and budget do not include surveys for rare plants. Because the proposed project would be
located within a disturbed urban environment, it is unlikely that rare plants are present. If the results
of the biological assessment indicate a reasonable possibility that special-status plants could occur on
the site, LSA will submit a separate scope and budget for additional focused rare plant surveys.
Task 4b - Wetland Delineation
To determine the extent of jurisdictional wetlands and/or other waters of the U.S. on the site
(including creek boundaries), an LSA wetland scientist will conduct a wetland delineation using
standard methods from the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual. The delineation will
include mapping of the Ordinary High Water Marks (OHWM) along both creeks, as well as any
seasonal wetlands that may fall within or adjacent to the proposed trail alignment. The field
delineation will be conducted concurrently with the reconnaissance-level biological assessment
described above. If it is determined as part of the biological assessment that the only potential
jurisdictional waters on the site are the two creeks, LSA will focus the delineation only on these
resources (and the project budget will be reduced accordingly).
After fieldwork is completed, LSA will prepare a standard-format delineation report suitable for sub-
mission to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). This scope and budget also include a verifica-
tion site visit with Corps personnel and a subsequent revision to the delineation map and report, if
necessary.

Task 4c - California Red-Ie!!!!ed Fro!! Assessment
Since California red-legged frog (CRLF) (Rana aurora draytonil) has been recorded in Saratoga
Creekt and there is potentially suitable habitat for this species at the two creek crossings, LSA antici-
pates that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) will request a CRLF habitat assessment fol-
lowing the guidelines outlined in the USFWS Revised Guidance on Site Assessments and Field Sur-
veys for the California Red-legged Frog. Field information for the CRLF assessment will be col-
lected concurrently with the site visit for the reconnaissance-level biological assessment (see Task
4a). The report will include all required information as outlined in the USFWS guidelines.
Task 4d - Natural Environmental Studv (optional task) (required only for NEP A review)
As noted above, LSA believes that the proposed project will be eligible for a Categorical Exclusion
(CE). Should the federal agency involved determine that a CE is not adequate and that additional
NEP A review is required, LSA will prepare a Natural Environmental Study (NES). We expect that
the information gathered from the biological assessment, wetland delineation, and CRLF assessment
would be sufficient to prepare the NES; therefore we propose no additional field work to prepare the
NES. Most of the budgeted time would be spent collating the pertinent information and re-formatting
the content of the biological assessment for inclusion in a standard NES. This scope includes
revisions to the NES following intemal review and comments by City staff, as well as a second round
of revisions following comments by the federal agency. The budget for preparing the NES is not
included in this proposal; an estimated budget is approximately $5,700.
S. Cultural Resources
The project site has been subject to human use for over 100 years (Native American use of the site
may also have occurred in and around the site over several hundred years prior to white settlement).
Because of a long history of human use, the project site has a high likelihood of containing historic
resources, including structures and features associated with the Southem Pacific Railroad. In addition,
the site may contain fossils, which are protected by the State. Because the trail project would require
at least minor ground disturbance and construction activities, it could adversely affect historic and
paleontological resources on the site. The studies listed below are required for the City to comply
with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, NEPA, CEQA, and the Caltrans 2004
Programmatic Agreement Among The Federal Highway Administration, the Advisory Council on
Historic Preservation, the California State Historic Preservation Officer, and the California Depart-
ment of Transportation Regarding Compliance With Section 106 of the National Historic Preserva-
tionAct.
LSA will conduct a records search, background research, contact Native Americans and local histori-
cal organizations, and conduct field studies to prepare a Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR), an
Archaeological Survey Report (ASR), a Historical Resources Evaluation Report (HRER), and a
Paleontological Identification Report (p1R). These reports will be prepared specifically to satisfy
NEPA requirements. Although the information in these reports will be usedfor the CEQA analysis,
these reports would not be prepared if only CEQA documentation was required for the project. Our
proposed scope of work for each of these reports is outlined below.

Task 5a - Historical Prooertv Survev Reoort and Archaeological Survev Report (required only for
NEPA review)
LSA will conduct the following tasks to prepare the HPSR and ASR:
. LSA will provide all necessary assistance to ensure that an Area of Potential Effects (APE)
map (i.e., a map delineating the outlines of project-related effects) is prepared to Caltrans
standards.
. A records search of the APE and an area extending 1 mile out from the APE will be con-
ducted at the Northwest Information Center (NWIC) of the California Office of Historic
Preservation's California Historical Resources Information System. LSA will also conduct a
literature review, as necessary, of archaeological, ethnographic, and historical publications
and maps at historical archives and at our offices. The records search and literature review
will identify previously recorded or otherwise known cultural resources and previous cultural
resource studies of or adjacent to the APE.
. LSA will review cultural resource inventories to identify cultural resources that may be listed
within the APE and within a I-mile radius. Relevant listings are the California Inventory of
Historic Resources, Five Views: An Ethnic Sites Survey for California; California Historical
Landmarks; California Points of Historical Interest; and the Directory of Properties in the
Historic Property Data File, which contains the listings of the National Register of Historic
Places (National Register); California Register of Historical Resources (California Register);
California Historical Landmarks; and California Points of Historical Interest.
. LSA will contact the Native American Heritage Commission in Sacramento for: (I) a review
of the sacred lands file to determine if the APE contains any listed sites, and (2) a list of
Native American contacts who may have concems about the project site. Local Native
Americans on that list will be contacted by letter and follow-up telephone calls to inquire
about any concerns or information they may have.
. LSA will contact the Saratoga Historical Foundation and the Saratoga Historical Museum for
any information or concems they may have about the project site.
. LSA will respond to one set of City comments and one set of federal agency comments on the
draft documents (response not to exceed 8 hours).
Task 5b - Historical Resources Evaluation Report (required only for NEP A review)
LSA will conduct the following tasks to prepare the HRER:
. LSA will conduct archival and background research at local archives and repositories.
. LSA will conduct architectural field studies.
. A segment of the Southern Pacific Railroad and its associated features between Saratoga-
Sunnyvale Road and Saratoga Avenue will be evaluated in accordance with Section 106 of
the National Preservation Act and the 2004 Caltrans Programmatic Agreement.
. Department of Parks and Recreation 523 forms for the railroad will be prepared.

Task 5c - Paleontological Resources Studv (required only for NEP A review)
LSA will conduct the following tasks to prepare the Paleontological Resources Study:
. The project paleontologist will conduct background research to determine if paleontological
resources (fossils) and geologic units known to contain fossils are located within or adjacent
to the project site. This research will consist of a literature and map review and a fossil local-
ity search to identifY paleontologically sensitive geologic units, paleontological studies, fossil
localities (i.e., a location at which paleontological resources have been documented), and the
types of fossils that may occur within or adjacent to the project site. Relevant documents will
be reviewed at LSA and at the University of California, Berkeley Bioscience Library and
Earth Sciences and Map Library. The fossil locality search will be conducted using the
Berkeley Natural History Museum online database, specifically data from the University of
California Museum of Paleontology.
. A Paleontological Identification Report (PIR) will be prepared to Caltrans standards.
6. Geology and Soils
Key geotechnical considerations associated with the project include the ability of site soils to provide
a solid substrate for the trail and hazards that could occur to trail users during an earthquake. Toxic
contamination of site soils (and potential release of hazardous particulate matter) will be addressed in
the air quality and hazardous and hazardous materials analyses. It is anticipated that the geology and
soils-related impacts of the trail would be reduced to a less-than-significant level through adherence
to standard design and construction measures as well as conformance with Uniform Building Code
requirements. LSA will utilize the geotechnical report prepared by the project engineer for the
discussion in the geology and soils section.
7. Hazards and Hazardous Materials
As discussed above, railroad corridors typically contain high levels of contamination due to historic
uses of hazardous materials and buildup of train emissions. LSA and Baseline will prepare an analysis
to determine whether the trail project would result in the release of toxic materials, or other hazards-
related impacts. We will also analyze possible health effects of human exposure to PG&E transmis-
sion towers along the trail corridor. The hazardous materials analysis will include a description of the
findings and recommendations of the Hazardous Materials Technical Study (see below), evaluation of
potential impacts, and discussion of practical mitigation measures to mitigate identified impacts,
where appropriate. LSA and Baseline will complete the following tasks as part of the hazardous mate-
rials analysis:
Task 7a - Hazardous Materials Technical Studv
Baseline will prepare a Hazardous Materials Technical Study (HMTS) for the site to collect and
evaluate information about hazardous materials and waste in the site. This report will satisfY both
CEQA and NEPA requirements. Baseline will perform the following tasks to complete the HMTS:
. Baseline will review and summarize available environmental investigation reports and other
available environmental documentation for the site.
. Typical past land uses at and adjacent to the site will be determined through review of historical
fire insurance maps, aerial photographs, fire insurance maps, and other historical land use infor-

mation for the site. Any historical land uses with the potential to affect subsurface conditions at
the site will also be identified.
. Baseline will review federal, State, and local database reports pertaining to the management of
hazardous materials and hazardous materials releases at parcels adjacent to the site. Any reported
hazardous materials releases at or near the site will be identified, and the potential for these
releases to affect the proposed project will be evaluated.
. Baseline will conduct a visual reconnaissance of the site and adjacent parcels. The reconnaissance
will provide information regarding any recognized environmental conditions associated with cur-
rent land uses at the site and immediate vicinity, including visible evidence of the generation, use,
storage, or disposal of hazardous materials.
Based on these tasks, Baseline will prepare a written HMTS report to document the activities and
findings of this investigation. Any data gaps encountered during the investigation will be described
as well as actions made to address these gaps and an evaluation of the significance of missing infor-
mation.
LSA and Baseline will also conduct the following work to prepare the CEQA and NEPA analyses of
the trail project:
. We will describe hazardous materials issues at the site and immediate vicinity, based on informa-
tion collected for the Hazardous Materials Technical Study (described below); and provide a
summary of the recommendations from this study, particularly as they relate to the need for sub-
surface investigations.
. Based on collected data, we will discuss potentially significant impacts pertaining to the creation
of potential public health hazards, including the use, production or disposal of materials which
pose a hazard to people or the environment in the project area.
. LSA and Baseline will describe any project-related interference with emergency response or
emergency evacuation plans.
. We will describe local fire hazards and identify any impacts that the project may create with
regard to fire hazards.
. The potential effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields that could result from the presence of
nearby electrical transmission lines will also be discussed qualitatively.
. Mitigation measures will be developed to address any identified significant impacts. Mitigation
measures will likely include implementation of recommendations from the HMTS (which may
include soil and/or groundwater investigations), compliance with best management practices for
hazardous materials storage during site development, and adherence to State and local hazardous
materials and waste management programs following site development.
8. Hydrology and Water Quality
The proposed project is expected to alter drainage pattems, and would create new impervious surfaces
that, unmitigated, could incrementally increase the rate and volume of runoff. In addition, construc-
tion period impacts to surface water quality could occur if on-site grading and excavation are not
properly managed. The project site appears to be located partially in a flood hazard zone defined by

the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). We believe that the tasks described below will
satisfy CEQA and NEP A environmental review requirements for hydrology and water quality
impacts (although, as mentioned above, the responsible federal agency may require additional techni-
cal analyses of hydrology issues). The Location Hydraulic Floodplain study is a report prepared
specifically to fUlfill NEP A requirements and would not be prepared if the project was only
undergoing NEPA review.
Task 8a - Location Hvdraulic Floodnlain Studv (required only for NEPA review)
The proposed trail would include two creek crossings. These crossings may include construction in
the 100-year floodplain. The Location Hydraulic Study (LHS) is required by Caltrans as part of the
environmental review process to evaluate potential impacts associated with floodplain encroachment
that will result from construction of creek crossings.
The purpose of the LHS is to evaluate the 100-year base flood and the potential impacts from the pro-
posed project. The LHS is a study administered by Caltrans under agreement with the Federal High-
way Administration (FHW A). The LHS for the proposed project will be prepared pursuant to the
requirements outlined in Title 23, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 650.111, entitled Location
and Hydraulic Design of Encroachment on Flood Plains.
LSA and Baseline will also conduct the following tasks to fully analyze the hydrology and water
quality-related impacts of the project:
. Discuss potential impacts of the proposed project related to water quality, public water supplies,
ground water resources, groundwater recharge, flooding, erosion and siltation.
. Identify practical mitigation measures that would reduce or eliminate any identified potential
impacts related to hydrology, storm drainage, and water quality will be identified.
9. Noise
Key noise impacts of the project would occur during the construction period. Development of the trail
would require the operation of heavy equipment in the vicinity of residential uses. LSA will contact
the project engineers to determine the equipment that is expected to be involved in trail construction,
and will estimate resultant noise levels at residential uses closest to the project site. Ambient noise
levels could also increase on the project site due to increased trail use. LSA will use estimates of
future trail use to identify potential increases in local noise around the trail site. We will work closely
with SMW to analyze the effects of the project in the context of the published standards of the Sara-
toga Noise Ordinance.
10. Public Services, Utilities and Recreation
Construction of the trail could affect existing utility lines and infrastructure. LSA will contact PG&E
and the Saratoga Public Works Department to discuss potential impacts of trail construction on utility
infrastructure in and around the project site. Use of the trail could also change current demand for
police services (emergency calls could increase or decrease when the trail is subject to regular public
use). LSA will work closely with the City Police Department to identify potential impacts of the trail
project on police response times and the need for new police facilities. We will also rely on existing

documentation describing the perceived vs. actual safety issues of trail projects. LSA will also ana-
lyze the effects of the project in the context of other local and regional recreation facilities.
11. Transportation and Circulation
The proposed trail will intersect or cross four roadways. A focused traffic assessment will be
required for each crossing. This traffic assessment will address two separate objectives for each
crossing. The first objective is to identify analysis methods, and solutions to how bicyclists and
pedestrians can safely cross these arterials. The second objective is to determine whether the proposed
bicycle/pedestrian crossing will have a negative impact to through traffic along the corridor the trail
crosses.
In order to address these issues, aerial photographs, and daily and peak hour arterial and intersection
turn movement counts will be collected. LSA will analyze current traffic control at the proposed art-
erial crossing, intersection and arterial level of service, and available gaps in traffic (from a direction
and total traffic standpoint). Based on this information, a proposed solution to pedestrian!bicycle/
vehicle conflicts will be identified and evaluated.
Based on the alternatives analysis and public input, a recommended improvement will be proposed
for each arterial crossing. It should be noted that in some locations, an interim and long term solution
might be proposed.
TASK C. PREPARE DRAFT INITIAL STUDYIMITIGATED NEGATIVE
DECLARATION AND MMRP
Based on the environmental analysis conducted as part of Task B, LSA will prepare a draft ISIMND
and MMRP for review by SMW. If it is determined during the research and analysis stage of Part B
that the project would result in significant unavoidable impacts, LSA will strategize with SMW on
alternate environmental review approaches.
1. Administrative Draft ISIMND
LSA will prepare an Administrative Draft ISIMND with the following components. Figures will be
provided to illustrate the project site, existing environmental conditions, and the proposed trail.
. Proj ect Description
. CEQA Environmental Checklist Form
. Mandatory Findings of Significance (including potential cumulative impacts of trail development
outside Saratoga)
. Contacts and Bibliography
. Mitigated Negative Declaration
. Technical Appendices
Five (5) copies of the Administrative Draft ISIMND will be submitted to SMW for review and com-
ment. At the end of the review period, LSA will meet to discuss comments on the Administrative
Draft, if desired by SMW. We could also discuss comments over the phone or bye-mail.

2. Screen check Draft IS/MND
LSA will amend the Administrative Draft ISIMND based on a single set of consolidated non-<Jontra-
dictory comments provided by SMW. Five (5) copies of the ScreencheckDraft ISIMND will be pro-
vided to SMW to verify that all requested changes have been made and all appendix materials, refer-
ences, and final graphics are acceptable.
3. Public Review Draft IS/MND
LSA will produce copies of the Public Review Draft IS/MND for public distribution and submittal to
the State Clearinghouse. Our budget assumes publication of fifty (50) copies of the Draft IS/MND
(but additional copies could be produced on a time-and-materials basis). LSA will also prepare a
Notice of Completion, in accordance with the CEQA Guidelines, and coordinate with SMW and the
City to distribute the Draft ISIMND pursuant to CEQA and City review procedures. LSA can also
provide POF versions of the ISIMND and a copy-ready version of the document, if desired by SMW
or the City.
4. Response to Comments
Immediately following completion of the 30 day public review period, LSA will meet with or call
SMW to discuss any comments received during the public review period, and the approach to under-
take in responding to comments.
5. FinalIS/MND
LSA will incorporate public and agency comments received on the IS/MND and responses to these
comments (as appropriate) into one final document for publication and distribution. Our budget
assumes publication of fifty (50) copies of the Final IS/MND.
6. Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
LSA will prepare a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for all mitigation mea-
sures in the IS/MND. LSA will identify responsibility for implementing and monitoring each mitiga-
tion measure, along with monitoring triggers and reporting frequency, subject to approval by City
staff. We will prepare a checklist listing these items and providing a column for verification of
compliance.
TASK D. PREP ARE CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION
As noted above and described in an e-mail from Adam Weinstein to Carmen Borg dated April 26, we
believe that the trail project would be eligible for a Categorical Exclusion (CE). Section 771.117 of
the joint environmental review regulations issued by the Federal Highway Administration (FHW A)
and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) states that the "construction of bicycle and pedestrian
lanes, paths, and facilities" typically "meet the criteria for CEs in the Council on Environmental
Quality (CEQ) regulation."and do not require any further NEP A approvals by the [FHW AlFTA]
Administration."

As part of this task, LSA will assist the City in meeting with Caltrans to confirm the appropriate level
ofNEPA review. This process will involve the completion of the Preliminary Environmental Scoping
(PES) form by a Caltrans local assistance official, in conjunction with a visit to the project site. Even
a CE will require substantial interaction and coordination with Caltrans. This scope assumes that the
City will take the lead in making initial contact with the local Caltrans offtce, but that LSA will pro-
vide assistance as needed. If Caltrans determines that a CE would not provide an adequate level of
environmental review for the project, or that additional technical studies not included in this scope of
work are required to support the CE, LSA will revise this scope of work and budget for re-submittal
to SMW.
LSA will prepare a Draft CE for review by SMW. The completed form will be submitted to the City
for distribution to Caltrans.
TASK E. PROJECT MANAGEMENT
David Clore and Adam Weinstein will undertake a variety of general project management tasks
throughout the process of preparing the ISIMND, CE, and background technical reports, and coor-
dinating with SMW, the City, and Caltrans.
David will provide input on and monitor the scope, budget, and scheduling of the project. He will also
ultimately be responsible for quality assurance for all work undertaken and will review all subcon-
sultant submittals and in-house prepared text, tables, and graphics before these materials are presented
as administrative review documents. David will also be available for consultation on environmental
review procedural matters.
Adam will coordinate the day-to-day activities associated with the project. Project management tasks
include regular client contact; contract management; oversight of subconsultants and team members;
schedule coordination; and development of products. Adam and/or David will attend client meetings
and public hearings, as appropriate (see Task F).
TASKF. MEETINGS AND PUBLIC HEARINGS
David and Adam will be available throughout the environmental documentation preparation period to
meet with SMW, the City, Caltrans, and other involved agencies and City departments to gather
information, review progress, review preliminary findings, discuss comments and concerns about the
project, and offer input into discussions on project modifications. The cost estimate includes attend-
ance by David and Adam at the following meetings, in addition to several one to two-hour conference
calls.
. Three (3) meetings with SMW
. Four (4) meetings with Caltrans and City staff
. Two (2) public hearings/workshops

III. PROJECT SCHEDULE AND BUDGET
A. SCHEDULE
The preliminary work schedule for preparation and completion of the project environmental docu-
mentation is shown in Table 2. LSA will submit the draft ISIMND (including all technical reports)
within 10 weeks of authorization to proceed. The environmental review process (including both
CEQA and NEPA review) could be complete within approximately six months of authorization to
proceed. The preliminary work schedule could also be streamlined if desired by SMW and the City;
we should discuss possibilities for shortening the environmental documentation schedule once the
scope of work for NEP A review has been finalized.
B. PROJECT BUDGET
For completion of the scope of work set forth in this proposal and accomplished according to the
schedule outlined, the LSA team proposes a total budget not to exceed $119,605, subject to our stan-
dard contract provisions included in Attachment A. A detailed breakdown of the budget is provided in
Table 3.
We would also suggest that a five percent contingency ($5,980) be added to the budget table to allow
for quick scope and budget supplementation for small unforeseen needs. Use of contingency funds
would only be allowed upon advance written authorization by the SMW Project Manager. Including
the contingency funds, the total contract amount would be $125,585.
