The Santa Clara County Library appreciates the Council's ongoing commitment to providing the best possible library service in the greatest possible number of hours per week. As a follow -up to the discussion of June 1, the Council requested a few options for different levels at which the City could fund Cupertino Library additional service hours. As use has grown dramatically over the last few years, the Santa Clara County Library has conducted survey research to better understand service hours preferences of each community, as well as analyzing hourly usage data to study customer use patterns. As a result, there has been a shift in the County Library's view of service schedules. In the survey research, Cupertino residents expressed a need for a variety of hors during the day, with special emphasis on after school and evening hours. Cupertino residents also expressed an intense desire for weekend hours, along with very strong support for seven -day service. For the busiest Santa Clara County Library facilities, which receive the largest shares of the County Library's funding formula, seven -day service is now considered essential so long as revenues exist to support the hours. This approach diverges from past practice, which considered Monday service as secondary in importance to providing multiple eleven -hour service days encompassing both mornings and evenings. The County Library's baseline schedule assumes six eight -hour service days and six hours of service on Sundays for a total of 54 hours per week. This differs significantly from 2007, when County Library funds only supported 50 hours per week on six days. Because of the complexities of scheduling full -time staff, the extension of a service day is not a simple linear "cost per hour" calculation when minimum staffing levels and integration with the overall staff schedule are considered. As an example, stretching an eight hour service day to eleven hours necessitates an additional meal break, which requires additional staffing. The addition of service hours must be done in -increments that make sense for staffing considerations and for developing a cohesive hours schedule for the public. The City Manager's recommended FY2010 -2011 budget appropriation of $246,513 for status quo library service represents a 2.7% increase: from the amount the City contributed four years ago for the same level of library service. The County Library has assumed responsibility for more hours than it could fund in 2007, as well as for increased employee costs over that time period, and the City's contribution has been used to fund fewer hours. Even as usage has skyrocketed, the Library has made an effort to hold steady the financial commitment required for the City to support additional Library service hours. Using a similar methodology to what was presented on June 1 the Library developed ari updated set of funding scenarios.

Fiscal Year 2010 -11 presents financial challenges for both the City of Cupertino and the Santa Clara County Library Joint Powers Authority. For the first time in several years, the County Library JPA eliminated a number of vacancies in order to pass a balanced budget. These challenges are likely to continue as property tax revenues remain flat or decline further for FY2011 -12. County Library staff is committed to working with City staff to insure that Cupertino Library continues to provide maximum service levels at the lowest possible cost. If you have additional questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to let me know. Bes regards r Derek E.

Teens find the welcoming and bright space completely functional, but there are still a few loose ends to be tied up before the official grand opening ceremony takes place on Saturday, September 11 We are waiting for the new magazine shelving to be delivered and installedvl the group study room, end panels for the new shelving, and some new slatwall for library displ items. Tween Seating in the Children's Room The Children's Librarians had two rows of shelving removed from the Children's Room to create a Tween seating area. The furniture was FREE — it was recycled furniture that was previously used in the Teen Room before it was remodeled. According to library staff, the new seating area is a big hit! California, Western, Americana ( "CWA ") Collection Relocation The entire CWA Collection has been relocated next to the Adult Nonfiction Collection. A big "THANKS!" goes to Karen Apland, Gabe Gonzalez and Dolly Goyal for their hard work to ensure an error -free and seamless relocation process. In mid -May, a shelving company reconfigured one row of shelving next to the Adult Nonfiction collection with solid backing and beautiful doors with glass inserts. This shelving ::low houses the most valuable items in the County Library's CWA collection. Items in this collection will be paged from their locked cabinets by staff at the Reference Desk. The rest of the items in the CWA Collection will continue to be stored on open shelves adjacent to the locking cabinets. Lobby Giveaway Materials Update Staff and volunteers have worked together to improve the appearance of the Library's front entrance and lobby by more effectively monitoring and maintaining the display space for public giveaway materials. Radio Frequency Identification Device ( "RFID ") Tagging Update The taggers have added RFID tags to most of the items at the Cupertino Library. There will be a few taggers at Cupertino to add RFID tags to items that were missed during most of the tagging process. The project should be completed by mid- summer. New RFID- equipped self - checkout machines will be installed at the Cupertino Library in December 2010.

Toyokawa is one of Cupertino's two sister cities, with which city officials and residents have a very friendly and active relationship. Pamela worked with the City of Cupertino to put together gift bags for tour participants. Ar.-ecdotal evidence suggests that the visitors were most impressed with the library's ANIHS, and the fact the machine was designed in Finland. Friends of the Cupertino Library The Friends of the Cupertino Library held their s --cond book sale of the year. The Friends almost ran out of books to sell, and made over $10,000.00 in two days.

After a number of questions and much discussion, the Commission voted 5 -0 to recommend the proposed Capital Improvement Program to the Cupertino City Council, with one amendment. The approved amendment called for Cupertino to explore converting the McClellan Ranch barn into the Environmental Education Center. Commission members felt this historic site would be an ideal location for the Environmental Education Center as it would preserve the barn and not take up addition space at McClellan Ranch Park. The Commission also voted 5 -0 to recommend that staff and Council consider community building efforts as part of the Capital Improvement projects. cc ly W CITY OF CUPERTINO -:0710 NEGATIVE DECLARATION As provided by the Environmental Assessment Procedure adopted by the City Council of the City of Cupertino on May 27,1973, and amended on March 4,1974, January 17 1977, May 1, 1978, and July 7,1980, the following described project was granted a Negative Declaration by the Planning Commission of the City of Cupertino on June 8, 2010 PROTECT DESCRIPTION AND LOCATIO Application No.: CP- 2010 -02 (EA- 2010 -02) Applicant: City of Cupertino Location: citywide DISCRETIONARY ACTION REQUEST General Plan conformance of the Five Year Capital Improvements Program FINDINGS OF DECISIONMAKING BODY The Planning Commission granted a Negative Declaration since the project is consistent with the General Plan and there are no significant environmental impacts. /s/ Gary Chao Gary Chao City Planner CERTIFICATE OF THE CITY CLERK This is to certify that the above Negative Declaration was filed in the Office of the City Clerk of the City of Cupertino on _____ 9, 2010 / s/ Kim Smith City Clerk glerclnegEA201002 CP- 2010 -02 CITY OF CUPERTINO 10300 Torre Avenue Cupertino, California 95014 RESOLUTION NO. 6601 OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO FINDING THE PROPOSED FIVE YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, FISCAL YEARS 2010- 11 TO 2014 -15 CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF CUPERTINO GENERAL PLAN SECTION I• PROTECT DESCRIPTION Application No.: CP- 2010 -02 (EA- 2010 -02) Applicant: City of Cupertino Location: Citywide SECTION II: FINDINGS WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Cupertino received the proposed five -year capital improvement program, fiscal years 2010 -11 to 2014 -15, as described in Section I of this Resolution; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has held at least one public hearing in regard to the application; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That after careful consideration of maps, facts, exhibits, testimony and other evidence submitted in this matter, the Planning Commission finds in accordance with CMC Section 2.32.070C, that application CP- 2010-02 is consistent with the City of Cupertino's General Plan and a negative declaration of no significant environmental impacts is recommended to the City Council under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines.

With regard to these two questions: 1. We do not have hourly door count figures, only daily door counts. However, we do have circulation statistics by hour. Over the past twelve months, the three hours from 10 am to 1 pm on Wednesdays accounted for about 97,500 checkouts, or 3% of the total checkouts for the year. Another way to look at this figure is that the Library averages just over one checkout every six seconds the library is open. 2. The specific hours for all Santa Clara County Library locations are listed online at http://www.santaclaracountylib.org/about/directory. itml In terms of total hours, Milpitas and Los Altos both are open 66 hours per week, Cupertino is currently open 60, Saratoga is open 58, and the other community libraries are open from 46 -49 hours per week. I hope this helps. See you tomorrow. Derek 1 Derek E.

Cupertino doesn't seem to have a cap on debt. Other cities use their utility tax to fund ongoing programs, not debt. To my knowledge, Los Altos and Palo Alto virtually have no debt. * we should not increase pay to City staff, many people are losing jobs and having pay cuts. Yes, we should offer staff competitive salaries, I would doubt that we would lose staff if we were not to increase pay. *we should look for other opportunities to save $. how much is the city spending to send a staff member to Harvard for 2 weeks? aren't: there any local programs or could the education be deferred or could we hire people with more qualifications to begin with? *please run the new building at McClellan Ranch through our own planning dept. and our own planning commission. We could save in the end. this should be done for all public projects. The library, the community hall, and Blackberry Farm already have seen retrofits that could have likely been caught at a lower cost to the taxpayers had the problems been recognized sooner. *as to the watering system at Blackberry Farm, I think that deserves some looking in to. the original project scope was to replace a cistern and the entire project would be $5M end to end, all paid with grants. We know it was much more and for some reason, the cistern work didn't happen. moreover, during construction an important pipe was cut that supplied onsite water which later necessitated the use of city water for watering the golf course and the new plantings (which were often so overwatered that you could see the water standing there). Regrettably, it also caused the unanticipated loss of the naturalized wetland habitat at the golf course, which was supposed to be protected by the MND and Dept. of Fish and Game. *Finally, I hope that with some judicious trimming, that you can find some funds for CUSD - the TFIN program has been amazing and it would be great to see the city help out (over and beyond the school resource officers and crosswalk etc..). Funding our schools will pay dividends in the future. best regards, Rhoda Fry i Lc (v I r 7 (/b # ID Linda Lagergren Subject: FW: Budget items From: Hemant Buch [mailto:buchhemant @yahoo.com] Sent: June 06, 2010 7:07 PM To: Kris Wang; Gilbert Wong; Orrin Mahoney; Mark Santoro; David Knapp; Mark Linder Cc: Mahesh Nihalani Subject: Budget items Hello Kris, Gilbert, Orrin and Mark, During the Rotary banquet both Kris and Gilbert mentioned to me that budger meeting is taking place this week for the Cupertino city.

The layoff of over 100 teachers and increase of primary grade class siZe by 50% was prevented for this year with private donations and the contribution of furloughs from all the employees of the district. The following year, we could face the same problem. In these times of tight budgets, it would be good for the school district to have partners. Some ideas would be for City of Cupertino through the Park and Recreation Department to work in partnership with the school district on science educational programs. expand the science educational facilities of they McClellan Ranch with consultation from the school district and teachers on how best to implement programs for highest educational value. mini - grants to Cupertino teachers for science instructional programs Any hands -on- learning and science education is important for the students and the community in Cupertino. The children of today will be the invertors, the scientists, and the entrepreneurs of tomorrow. When we as a community in partnership with the school district support science and technology programs in our schools, we are investing in our future. With this investment, Cupertino will continue to benefit from local businesses tax revenue because these businesses will have the expertise that will keep them at the forefront of technology and innovation. In the near term, investing in our schools keeps our property values high and high property values brings more tax revenues for the city. It makes our schools and our community highly desirable. I wanted to bring to your attention a June 3 online Mffcury News article about the Cupertino City Budget. http: / /www.mercurynews.com /ci 15223511 The article quotes Carol Atwood, who is the Cupertino city director of administrative services "...Cupertino has also been fortunate to not see a decline in residential home values due to the popularity of the high - performing schools in the area, Atwood said..." The article says further that "...The city is heavily dependent on Apple Inc., Hewlett- Packard and Insight ...[which are all high technology companies]... for its sales tax, as the three companies account for 57 percent of such revenue..." The article talks about major Cupertino City capital projects that include "...possible temporary dog park along Mary Avenue , ... fixing the dormant ponds at Linda Vista Park At the June 1st Cupertino City Council Meeting, the estimated cost for a temporary dog park along Mary Avenue was $225,000. At the meeting, a resident who lives near the proposed dog park was against the proposed park because of the potential litter, extra noise, and the hope that the city could find a better use for the public funds. At the June 3rd Parks & Recreation Commission Meeting, the estimated cost partial cost for fixing the dormant ponds at Linda Vista park was $450,000. In future years, you would need to pay in addition for the remainder of the cost and for the maintainance of the pond and the equipment to pump water into the ponds. Currently, people can still enjoy the park without the ponds. The temporary dog park and fixing the Linda Vista Park pond will likely help a small sector of the community. However, there are about 18,000 students in the Cupertino Union School District who could benefit frorn science programs. Investing in science programs and partn&r ng with schools in our community for the children of this community is a good investment for now and for the future of the Cupertino. It helps education which keeps our property values high and nurtures our high technology businesses' workforce for the future so that these businesses can continue to generate tax revenues for the city.
