CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: March 1, 2023
Subject
Review Council Goals and priorities for the next two fiscal years (Fiscal Years 2023-2025)
Recommended Action
Consider Re-Affirming Council Goals and set new priorities for the next two fiscal years
(Fiscal Years 2023-2025)
Background
The Council maintains a City Work Program as a two-year effort, revisiting on an
annual basis to adjust and redirect efforts. This work program provides guidance on
high priority efforts that the Council would like undertaken. Typically Work Program
items take significant staff effort and one or even two years to complete. Normal daily
operations encompass approximately 90 percent of city staff time, with variations from
department to department depending on many influencing factors. By establishing the
Work Program in a collaborative manner, weighing workloads and Work Program
items, staff is better able to communicate where there is capacity and the Council is
better able to see meaningful results over the two-year timeframe.
Established Council Priorities
In February 2020, the City Council adopted a number of goals to provide a framework
for City priorities and to guide annual development of the Work Program. The
priorities include:
Public Engagement and Transparency
o Creating and maintaining key conversations and interactions with the
Cupertino Community.
Transportation
o Providing access to an efficient, safe multi-modal transportation system for
our community, and advocating for effective, equitable mass transit in the
greater region.
Improving Traffic Flow and Alleviating Congestion
Housing
o Contributing meaningfully and in a balanced manner to the housing
inventory in support of our community needs, including affordable housing
4
03-01-2023

(from extremely low-income to moderate-income level housing) and
addressing homelessness.
Sustainability & Fiscal Strategy
o Continuing Cupertino’s commitment to building a sustainable and resilient
community for future generations.
Quality of Life
o Furthering the health and well-being of all Cupertino community members.
Air Quality and Noise
Public Safety
Recreation
Access to Goods and Services
The five priorities in this list help to focus the Work Program items and ensure that the
work efforts remain aligned with expressed priorities. As part of the Work Program
exercise, it is a good idea to re-affirm that these five priorities remain relevant.
Defining a Work Program Item
Staff recommends the following guidance for Work Program items:
Timelines are finite in nature, with an expectation of completion within the next
two fiscal years.
The items are unique to the Work Program and not duplicated in other funded
efforts. For example, Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Projects should be
tracked in that program. Similarly, the Housing Element is a major project with
a finite term, but because the Housing Element update is required by state law, it
should fall into the regular budgeted workload and not be captured as a Work
Program item.
The Work Program is not an all-inclusive wish list, but rather a concise list that
has undergone significant prioritization efforts by the Council.
The Work Program should not include elements of other programs, such as the
General Plan, Housing Element, Climate Action Plan, etc. as advancing each of
these is a part of daily operations.
Staff Capacity to Deliver Work Program Items
As noted above, staff allocates a significant amount of resources to delivering daily
services. Descriptions of this workload can be found in the City’s Operating Budget. It is
important to note that the operating capacity for departments does include room to
advance episodic administrative priorities that may on occasion raise to the level of
Council attention. These efforts are guided by the department directors and the City
Manager to ensure high performance in the delivery of service to the public and are part
of the administrative duties assigned to the City Manager.
The need to deliver on daily services leaves a finite capacity for additional projects. And
in some departments, like Community Development, where the Housing Element is a
significant body of work on its own, there may be no capacity for additional work items.
5
03-01-2023
5 of 30
Given the large number of outstanding efforts already in play, staff recommends
minimizing the addition of Work Program items. The process outlined below supports a
movement in that direction. Staff looks forward to developing the Work Program in an
interactive partnership with the Council based on the structure outlined in this report.
Current Work Program
Recently the Council received information on the current Work Program status. That
information can be found on the dashboard at cupertino.org/cityworkprogram. A list of
Work Program items can be found as Attachment A. The current program consists of 38
items. Eleven items on the work program are complete or scheduled for completion this
fiscal year (Attachment B).
In order to adapt to a changing focus, staff recommends a series of refinements to the
current Work Program.
Exclude six CIP projects from the Work Program. This will save redundant
tracking efforts yet still provides Council ongoing information through the CIP
dashboard.
Shift the work program item Support for the Unhoused to the annual operating
budget discussion for program definition and funding needs as a needed
ongoing effort.
Remove three items (Quarries, Student Internship Program, and Hybrid
Meetings) from the work program as they are either operational or obsolete.
Each of the refinements above are further addressed in Attachment C.
The current Work Program of 38 items becomes a refined program of 19 items
(Attachment D) when accounting for the modifications noted above and capturing the
projects forecast for completion by the end of this fiscal year.
Drift to Operational
Over the years, some City Work Program items have become ongoing operational
projects for staff. These items increase staff workload and require ongoing funding in
order to continue the project. The following are examples of current or past Work
Program items that have become operational.
Homeless Jobs Program
Housing Program for De Anza College Students
DOLA
All Inclusive Playground
Use of Athletic Fields in Parks
Staff does their best to absorb increased workload with existing resources, however,
over time operating budget adjustments may become necessary.

Stepping Through This Year’s Process
Staff has a specific structure in mind for the Study Session on March 1. The conversation
would begin with re-affirmation of the priorities through a facilitated discussion.
Council should review the priorities and be prepared to discuss any interest they have in
making adjustments.
As a second step, staff recommends a fresh look at the Work Program, rebuilding the list
from scratch. To achieve this, each Councilmember should provide a selection of five of
their priority items for consideration and submittal to staff via email using the form
provided as Attachment F. Staff will consolidate the selections and provide the list as an
addendum to the agenda item and this report prior to the Study Session, providing time
for each Councilmember to review and prioritize. At the Study Session, a facilitator
from Baker Tilley will lead us through a consensus building prioritization process based
on these identified priorities. Please return the form (Attachment F) to Debra
Nascimento by 5:00 pm on February 22.
As individual Councilmembers contemplate their five Work Program items, each could
include items that remain on the current Work Program or select items that have not yet
been considered. Staff is aware of several additional Work Program items that may be
candidates for inclusion, including:
Urban Forest – Public Works
Recycled Water Feasibility Study – Public Works
Update to Sister City and Friendship City Policy – City Manager’s Office
Public Art – Role of Fine Art Commission, and establish policies and procedures.
Naming of Public Facilities Policy
Staff from each department will be present at the Study Session to answer high level
questions and provide insight into workload capacity. By making this an iterative
process with both Council and staff input, we hope to establish a Work Program that can
see meaningful progress over time. Ultimately, the consensus Work Program will be
placed on a future Council Agenda for adoption and will inform any operating budget
requests necessary to deliver on the program, setting up that conversation through the
annual budget process.
Public Outreach
The City Council Retreat and subsequent Council meeting, as well as ongoing input the
Council receives from the public, are the source of engagement for this year’s Work
Program. In past years staff and Commissions have recommended items for
consideration. Due to the designed two-year cycle for the work program and the
significant size of the current list and the desire to make meaningful progress on the
included items without adding to the backlog, these steps were foregone this year.

Support for the Unhoused
Amended at April 21 Council
Meeting
Councilmember Proposal
Formulate a City plan to leverage County resources and
advocate for funding to address the issue of the
unhoused and how to provide services in as effective a
manner as possible with the resources available. A
specific plan would be generated which includes
consideration and recommendations for:
- Work with the County and relevant agencies to
promote facility development with supportive services.
With non-profit organization partnership, assist the
County to identify space and a plan for supportive
space with an ultimate aim to provide a pathway to
permanent sustained housing would be made.
- Funding strategy. This would require significant
resources, but the social costs of not addressing this
growing issue are more significant. With grant money
and possible private partnerships available, the
deliverable here would be to provide the City, in
partnership with the County, with actionable
recommendations for securing financial support for this
program.
- Make significant attempt to align with the SCC
roadmap

Student Internship Program
Councilmember Proposal
Implement a trial student summer internship program
with the City of Cupertino. Initial year will be on a limited
basis. If approved, applications will be sought for one-,
two- or three-week internships during the summer, with
applications to be released in mid-July. Internships will
be project-focused, with participating City departments
asked to identify a specific project or projects that a
student intern can undertake. The internships will have a
common start date, and include an orientation, group
activities and exit interviews.
Alternatively, if the time and resources do not permit the
City to run a trial program in the upcoming summer of
the fiscal year (i.e., Summer 2022), Council may form a
subcommittee to share practices for student internships,
and to bring a report back to Council at the end of
Summer 2022 with recommendations as part of the
initiation of a student internship program in Summer
2023.

Student Internship Program
Councilmember Proposal
Implement a trial student summer internship program
with the City of Cupertino. Initial year will be on a limited
basis. If approved, applications will be sought for one-,
two- or three-week internships during the summer, with
applications to be released in mid-July. Internships will
be project-focused, with participating City departments
asked to identify a specific project or projects that a
student intern can undertake. The internships will have a
common start date, and include an orientation, group
activities and exit interviews.
Alternatively, if the time and resources do not permit the
City to run a trial program in the upcoming summer of
the fiscal year (i.e., Summer 2022), Council may form a
subcommittee to share practices for student internships,
and to bring a report back to Council at the end of
Summer 2022 with recommendations as part of the
initiation of a student internship program in Summer
2023.
