25.Subject:Petition for reconsideration for a personal wireless service facility at 11371 Bubb
Road (continued from March 15)
Recommended Action:Conduct hearing and adopt Resolution No. 11-054, denying the
petition for reconsideration
Description:Application: DIR-2010-28 Reconsideration; Applicant: Dayna Aguirre (for T-
Mobile); Petitioner: Shaul Berger; Location: 11371 Bubb Road, APN 356-23-047;
Application Summary: Petition for reconsideration of the City Council’s November 29, 2010
decision to deny an appeal of a Director's Approval for a personal wireless service facility
with three panel antennas and four associated equipment boxes to be installed on an existing
PG&E pole located in front of 11371 Bubb Road
Page:235
Written communications forthis item included an email and attached letter from attorney
Paul Albritton on behalf of T-Mobile urging Council to deny the petition for reconsideration.
Senior Planner Colin Jung reviewed the staff report.
Petitioner Shaul Berger said that hisassumptions and T-Mobile’s assumptions are different
regardingheight and radiofrequency (RF)levels. He said they also differregarding the
statement that the best location was found,and that he now needs tocompromise. He asked
Council to use the same methods that other providers useand wondered why T-Mobile can’t
provide the same coverage as Verizon. He said that decisionsmust be based on facts and not
feelings. He said that Council voted without asking for technical evidence about how the
antennas couldwork and noted that the project should have gone through a Design Review
process.
T-Mobile representative Dayna Aguirre said that they have made every effort to resolve the
issues and reached out to the appellant and the neighborsabout the electromagnetic field
issue to help clarify the report. She noted that they looked at all threelocations again and it is
based on fact that those locations wouldn’t be feasible. Linda Vista Park too far and wouldn’t
provide the coverage needed; Results Way was too faraway; and the other location is below
ground.
Outside Counsel for T-Mobile Paul Albrittonsaid that there is no new evidence that has
come up to overturn the previous decision. He noted that the firm that provided the appellant
29
April 5, 2011Cupertino City Council Page 8
with the error of his calculations is reputable. He reviewed the State law about RF’s noting
that Councilcan’t make a decision on that and there has to be substantial evidence to deny a
wireless application. He explained that Council also can’t make a decision that prohibits
service and there is a significant gap in T-Mobile coverage. He said that they have followed
all the requirements from the Cupertino Municipal Code and the General Plan and asked
Council to deny the petition to reconsider.
Suresh Vasa questioned how many cell companies we need to provide coverage in Cupertino.
He wants 100% coverage with a single service provideras is the case with his water and
power providers.
Pragna Parmar asked Council toreconsider putting the antennain a residential neighborhood
and suggested the mountains as an alternate location. He said this would provide better
coverageand maintain home values in the neighborhood.
John Gaddy said the proposal wouldset aprecedent to install an increasing number of towers
which would affectthe quality of life and nearbynature. He said the business industry is
taking control of the area and Council would be supporting commerceover local residents.
Rita Chaosaid that she objects to the proposal and cares about the community. She said that
the tower would impact the environment, propertyvalues, and quality of life.
TeresaLiaosaid that she opposes the issue because she cares for all human beings and
radiation isn’t good for one’s health.
Prasao Marayanasaid that aesthetic issue and safety issue need to be considered. Other cities
have denied petitions so it is wrong to say that the City has to approve the permit.He read
from a US EPA letter regarding the “RF radiation exposure guidelinesand non thermal
effects of radio frequency radiation”which is “thermally based and do not apply to chronic
nonthermal exposure” so the generalization of many of those guidelinesto protect humans
are not justified.
Michael Chensaid that he chose to live in Cupertino because of the good schoolsand
neighborhoods. The City’s Wireless Master Plan is ruining Cupertino by allowing T-Mobile
to install antennas.He asked the Council to think about the upcoming T-Mobile and AT&T
mergerwhich would make the antennainstallations redundant. Installingthe antennawill
cause people to becomemore aware of the health hazards.
Leslie Fowler said that thesafety of EMF antennae towers ishotly disputed in the scientific
community and they shouldn’t be put in a neighborhood. The cell service providers should
share the antennae’s.
JeiChensaid that he disagrees with T-Mobile’s decision that the Linda Vista site is too far.
He said that 100% coverage is not possible.He said the security of people’s health has no
conclusion yetbut the fear of his health and safety affects his quality of life.
2:
April 5, 2011Cupertino City Council Page 9
Vincent Tien has worked on wireless communicationsfor the last ten years. He said that
putting the tower on the hill would be more powerful and providemore coverage. The health
of the residents should be considered.
Willie Luhadatechnical issue with the antennaheight allowance. And he had emailed some
questions to Council and didn’t receive an answer. Hewanted to know how the “worst case
of .022%”wascalculatedand said that25feet from the antenna and 15 feet from groundwas
a false statement. He said that T-Mobileand its partners are willfullyproviding false
statementsto the public.
Madliu Giasked Council to seefromthe community perspective before making the decision.
AT&T will be buying T-Mobile so why can’t T-Mobile share the tower that’s already been
approved for AT&T?She never heard the complete reason why Linda Vistawas not being
used instead.
Mayor Wong asked the T-Mobile representative to answer thequestions asked by the public
during the public comment section.
Council asked questions ofstaff and the applicant.
Mahoneymoved and Santoroseconded to adopt Resolution No. 11-054, denying the petition
for reconsideration,as presented by staff. The motion carried with Chang voting no.
Chang said he voted nobecausehe didn’t likethe way the process went. He said his major
concern is the data that T-Mobile provided vs. what the industry provided. He also noted that
the siteis so close to RegnartElementary School and he agrees with the cities that have
ordinances requiring cell towers to be at least 1500 away from any school. He also said that
some areas may end up with more than 100% coverage and there is a fear of unnecessary
radiation.
Wang also made a statement that the Council’s hands are tied and they can’t consider certain
things in their decision, or the City maybe subject to a lawsuit.

Discussion
Investments
The market and book value of the City’s portfolio both totaled $48.2million at March31, 2011.
The portfolio’s Marchyield of 0.32% was upfrom the December2010 yield of 0.28%but down
from a year ago rateof 0.44%due to the decision to take the portfolio to a safe and liquid mix of
investments given the risk and volatility of the market. The LAIF benchmark was at 0.50% for
March,upfrom0.46% in Decemberbut down from0.55% a year ago, reflective of their move to
a higher percentage of investments backed by the full faith and credit of the federal government.
The portfoliodecreasedfrom the previous quarterby $3million due to housing and retiree health
trust contributions, and energy conservation project payments.Maturing Treasuriestotaling
$17.5million werere-invested intonew Treasuries.
Investments are in full compliance with the City investment policy and State lawand are tiered
to provide sufficient cash flows to pay City obligations over the next six months. Market values
on individual securities in the investment portfolio are provided by Wells Fargo Bank
Institutional Trust Services using valuations from Interactive Data Pricing and Reference Data,
Inc.
The retiree health trust market value grew from $7.4 million to $8.4 million during the quarter,
due to investment gains and a $700,000 contribution from the City. The portfolio of equity, fixed
income and money market mutual funds returned 3.1% for the quarter and 10% since inception
nine months ago. Short-term volatility of market value is anticipated, with positive returns
expected in the long-run to fund future retiree medical obligations.

goal is to enhance the economic status of the City while protecting its pooled cash.
No substantive changes are proposed for this year’s policy. Two minor revisions, relatedto
investmentperformance and security safekeeping reporting, are recommendedin order to
make the overall document consistent with the move to quarterly reporting that was authorized
by this policy a year ago. The changes are indicated in the attached policy.

the return of all invested principal dollars. However, it is realized that market prices of securities
will vary depending on economic and interest rate conditions at any point in time. It is further
recognized that in a well-diversified investment portfolio, occasional measured losses are
inevitable due to economic, bond market or individual security credit analysis. These occasional
losses must be considered within the context of the overall investment program objectives and
the resultant long-term rate of return.
The City Treasurer and Deputy Treasurer, acting within the intent and scope of the investment
policy and other written procedures and exercising due diligence, shall be relieved of personal

transaction shall seek to ensure that capital losses are avoided, whether from securities
default, broker-dealer default or erosion of market value. The City shall seek to preserve
principal by mitigating the two types of risk, credit risk and market risk.
Credit risk, defined as the risk of loss due to failure of the issuer of a security, shall be

Market risk, defined as market value fluctuations due to overall changes in the general

term speculation.

MAXIMUM MATURITIES
Maturities of investments will be selected based on liquidity requirements to minimize interest
rate and maximize earnings. Investment of surplus funds shall comply with the maturity limits as
set forth in the California Government Code 53600, et seq. Where this section does not specify a
limitation on the term or remaining maturity at the time of the investment, no investment shall be
made in any security that at the time of the investment has a term remaining to maturity inexcess
of five years, unless the Council has granted express authority to make that investment either
specifically or as a part of an investment program approved by the Council no less than three
months prior to the investment.
Reserve funds may be invested in securities exceeding five years if the maturity of such
investments is made to coincide as nearly as practicable with the expected use of the funds.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: May3, 2011
Subject
Stevens Creek Corridor ProjectPhase IIgrant applicationforTransportation Development Act
(TDA)Article 3 Pedestrian/Bicycle Project Funding.
Recommended Action
Adopt ResolutionNo.11-____, authorizingallocation of TDAArticle 3 funding.
Discussion
The Transportation Development Act (TDA) is a source of funds created by statelegislation
which annually returns to each region in the state 1/4 of 1% of salestax revenues to be used for
transportation projects. A portion of thesefunds are set asideforbicycle and pedestrian projects.
In order to receive fundsin the 2011-12funding cycle, the City of Cupertinomust submit an
eligible project to the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) and to the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC).VTA has estimated that the City of Cupertino
can receive up to $103,179 for an eligible project in Fiscal Year 2011-12, inclusive of banked
funds from prior years.The MTC requires that the CityCouncil adopt a resolution (Attachment
1) to authorize filing for FY 2011-12TDA funding. Staff and the Bicycle Pedestrian
Commission(BPC) recommend applyingthis fundingtoward implementation of the Stevens
Creek Trailand associated featuresin the Stevens Creek Corridor Phase II project.
Seventy percent of the annual allocation is guaranteed to member agencies based on population.
For eligibility, projects must be
reviewed by the City’s BicyclePedestrian Commission,
includedin an approved bicycle planif a bicycle project,
have environmental clearance prior to expendituresfor construction,
have an authorizing resolution, and
be able to beginimplementationwithin one year.
The VTA reviews the submitted projectsfor eligibilityand then submits their list of
recommended projects to MTC for approval.
The Bicycle Pedestrian Commission (BPC) considered thisTDA funding opportunityat its
March 16, 2011meeting (Attachment 2–draft BPC meeting minutes from March16). The BPC
supports allocating the available TDA Article 3 funding toward design engineering and
constructionof the Stevens Creek CorridorPhase II project, specificallyto extend Stevens Creek
24:
Trail and provide the associated improvements that support trailuse by pedestrians and cyclists.
Based on BPC’s recommendation,staff filed an application by the April 15, 2011 deadline to
direct Cupertino’s available TDA fundingtoward those eligible expenses.
This report requests thatthe City Council endorse using Cupertino’s guaranteedshare ofTDA
Article 3funds to provide fundingtoward the design engineering and constructionforeligible
elements ofProject 9134,Stevens Creek Corridor Phase II. Thisproject willprovidea new
multi-use pedestrian and bicycle trail, bridge, crosswalk, parking modifications to accommodate
trail users, and trailside amenities.With the Council’s endorsement of this requestand adoption
of the resolution, the City can receive its share of TDA funds and apply them toward Stevens
Creek Corridor Phase II.
Fiscal Impact
TDA Article 3 is a program that reimburses cities for the incurred costs ofapproved projects.
The VTA estimates the City will receive funds in the amount of$103,179from the City
Guarantee Fund apportionment. New grant revenueis a positive fiscal impact.
Sustainability Impact
Implementation of the new trail segment to be funded by this grant programwould fully support
the City’s sustainability goals.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting:May 3, 2011
Subject
Agency Agreement for the Countywide AB939 Implementation Fee and the Agreement for
Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Collection for FY 11-12.
Recommended Action
AdoptResolution Nos. 11-______ and 11-______.
Description
The current agreements will expire on June 30, 2011. The new agreements havebeen approved
by the County of Santa Clara and presented to the fifteen cities for approval. Components of the
Implementation Fee have been set at the appropriate levels to fund the AB939 and HHW
programs.
Discussion
AB939 Implementation Fee for FY 11-12
The Recycling and Waste Reduction Commission (RWRC) of Santa Clara County has
determined that in order to fund the HHW services and expanded Universal Waste management
in the fifteen cities and the unincorporated area of the County, the Fee should be set at $4.10 per
ton, which includes two components, $1.50 to fund AB939 Programs and $2.60 to fund the
Countywide HHW Program. This fee reflects no increase from FY 2009-10 and from FY 2010-
11.
Since July 1992, the County of Santa Clara has collected a Countywide AB939 Implementation
Fee (Fee) from landfills and non-disposal facilities within the County. The Fee is levied on each
ton of waste delivered to the landfills and non-disposal facilities. That portion of the Fee
collected on behalf of the cities of Santa Clara County (approximately $50,000 to 60,000
annually for the City of Cupertino) is distributed to the cities quarterly for the purpose of funding
city-specific programs required for meeting AB939 waste stream diversion goals.
259
Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Collection program for FY 11-12
As in the past, the County recommends that the City augment its FY2011-12budgeted amount
to meet estimated residential participation. The same augmentation that Cupertinobudgeted for
FY 10-11,$65,000, is recommended to ensure thatits residents arenot turned away from the
County’s drop-off eventsfor safe disposal of household hazardous waste.
The City of Cupertino recentlystarted a pilot HHW collection program as part of its waste
collection franchise Agreement with Recology. Beginning November 1, 2010, Recology began
providing, by sub-contract with Waste Management Curbside LLC, door-to-door household
hazardous waste collection service to Cupertino residents. Based on preliminary numbers, an
average of fifty-five (55) households are using this service each month.
It is too soon to determine the success of Cupertino’snew pilot HHW collection program. The
sub-contracted company recently changed owners and Citystaff is beginning to evaluatethe
City’s role and responsibility as a permitted residential hazardous waste collector. Therefore,
staff recommends that the City continue to participate in the County HHW collection program in
parallel with offering its door-to-door collection-by-appointment during fiscal year 2011-2012.
Next year the County AB 939 and HHW agreements will bebrought back to Council forannual
review andapproval. At that timethere will be overayear’s worth of data and residential
feedback, which will helpto determine the success or drawbacks of the City’s pilotprogram. By
keeping the HHW budget at $65,000 for FY 11-12, the City will provideCupertino residents
with access to the County’s drive-through collection eventsin casethere are setbacks involving
the pilot program. The City is invoicedannually for the residential participation that took place
duringthe precedingfiscal year.The City paysonly for residents that actually participatedin the
County’s drive-through events. In November 2010 the City was invoiced for $44,000 for
participation in FY 09-10, leaving $21,000 in unspent budget for FY 09-10.
Fiscal Impact
Approvingthe AB939 Implementation Fee for FY 11-12will have no fiscal impact. Approving
the Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Collection programfor FY 11-12and setting the
budget at $65,000 for an additional year will ensure that Countywide HHW program is funded at
the appropriate amount for Cupertino residents.

NOW, THEREFORE, CITIES and COUNTY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Agreement is to state the terms and conditions under which the COUNTY
will collect and distribute the Fee of $4.10 per ton in FY 2012 of waste to be disposed. The Fee
is divided into two parts: 1) a Program Fee of $1.50 per ton to assist in funding the costs of
preparing, adopting, and implementing the integrated waste management plan in the fifteen cities

funding to implement the Countywide HHW Program. The Program Fee will be allocated
among jurisdictions as described in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein.The
HHW Fee will be allocated to the COUNTY, CITIES, and Countywide HHW Program and
participating jurisdictions as described in Exhibit C, attached hereto and incorporated herein.
The Fee shall be imposed on each ton of waste landfilled or incinerated within the County;

EXHIBIT C
COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS
WASTE PROGRAM FEE (HHW Fee)
1. PROGRAM FUNDING SOURCE
HHW Program services are directly mandated under AB939, which establishes statutory
authority to provide for funding to support planning and implementation of integrated waste
management programs. The HHW Fee, $2.60 per ton in FY 2012, collected as part of the
AB939 Implementation Fee, will be the primary source of funding for Countywide Household
Hazardous Waste Collection Program (CoHHW Program) services.
Funds derived from the HHW Fee will be allocated among four types of CoHHW Program
service costs as follows:
A. Fixed Program Costs will be apportioned based on the number of households in each
participating jurisdiction. The number of households will be determined at the beginning of
each Fiscal Year by statistics compiled by the California Department of Finance,
Demographic Research Unit from their most recent Report, “Population Estimates for
California Cities and Counties.”
B. Abandoned Waste Disposal Costs will fund disposal of HHW illegally abandoned at
nonprofit charitable reuse organizations. The existing fund balance from previous years will
fund the Abandoned Wastes Disposal Costs for FY 2012.
C. Variable Cost Per Car to provide a base level service to 4% of households in all participating
jurisdictions. The number of households is determined by the most recent “Population
Estimates for California Cities and Counties” Report as published by the California
Department of Finance, Demographic Research Unit.
D. Available Discretionary Funding funded on tonnage generated per participating jurisdiction.
2. FIXED PROGRAM COST
Funds shall be distributed on a per household basis for Fixed Program Costs. This portion of the

3. ABANDONED WASTE DISPOSAL COST
The existing unexpended abandoned waste fund balance of $110,000 will fund disposal of HHW
illegally abandoned at nonprofit charitable reuse organizations for FY 2012. Therefore it is not
necessary to apportion any of the Fee for FY 2012 for abandoned waste disposal costs. All
jurisdictions throughout the COUNTY contribute to this cost including jurisdictions not
participating in the AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD
HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM.
For the purposes of this agreement, PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE SECTION 41904 defines a
nonprofit charitable reuse organization as follows: "Nonprofit charitable reuser" means a
charitable organization, as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the federal Internal Revenue Code, or
a distinct operating unit or division of the charitable organization, that reuses and recycles
donated goods or materials and receives more than 50 percent of its revenues from the handling
and sale of those donated goods or materials.
4. VARIABLE COST PER CAR
The Variable Cost Per Car is the cost associated with actual labor, waste disposal, transportation
and other services provided to the residents at the County HHW Collection Facilities and
Temporary Events. This portion of the funds shall be distributed directly to the Countywide
HHW Program. The Variable Cost Per Car is estimated to be $67 per car for Fiscal Year 2012.
The estimated cost per car will be adjusted annually to reflect actual service costs. After fixed
costs are allocated on a per household basis, the variable cost per car will be used to calculate the
costs to service 4% of households across all participating jurisdictions. If the level of 4% of
households is not reached, the Countywide HHW Program will use the remaining balance of
funds, in cooperation with the CITIES, to increase public outreach and/or provide additional
services in that jurisdiction where the level of 4% is not reached the following year.
6. AVAILABLE DISCRETIONARY FUNDING
The Available Discretionary Funding portion will be allocated based on the tons of waste
generated within each jurisdiction and after allocation of fixed program cost and variable per car
cost. Available Discretionary Funds will be paid as directed by each jurisdiction. Available
Discretionary Funds must be used for HHW purposes. Options for how to spend these funds
include, but are not limited to, increasing the number of residents served in the jurisdiction by
the Countywide HHW Program, subsidizing curbside used motor oil collection, universal waste
collection, emergency HHW services, funding HHW public education, or providing special
programs such as door-to-door collection of HHW for the elderly and/or persons with disabilities
and neighborhood clean-up events.
7. PROGRAM FUNDING PASS-THROUGH
Annual funding calculations include HHW Fees collected on behalf of all County jurisdictions.
CITIES, at their option, may participate in the Countywide HHW Program by entering into the
AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE
COLLECTION PROGRAM. CITIES not participating in the Agency Agreement will receive
10
AB 939 IMPLEMENTATION FEE FY 2012
AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE
272
their pro-rata share of funding received by the COUNTY from the HHW Fee, with the exception
of funds for the abandoned waste cost, described above.
If CITIES not participating in the AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM desire to permit residents
to participate in HHW Program services on an emergency basis, then services to these residents
will be provided on a cost recovery basis. A charge equal to the established rates charged by the
Countywide HHW Program to Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators will be billed to
the CITIES. A CITIES' representative must call the Countywide HHW Program appointment
line to schedule an appointment for the resident. The pro-rata share of liability will be shared as
defined in Section 28 of AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD
HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM and as described in Exhibit D.

In lieu of and not withstanding the pro rata risk allocation which might otherwise be imposed
between CITY and COUNTY pursuant to Government Code Section 895.6, the parties agree that
all losses or liabilities incurred by a party shall not be shared pro rata but instead COUNTY and
CITY agree that pursuant to Government Code Section 895.4, each of the parties hereto shall
fully indemnify and hold each of the other parties, their officers, board members, employees and
agents, harmless from any claim, expense or cost, damage or liability imposed for injury (as
defined by Government Code Section 810.8) occurring by reason of the negligent acts or
omissions or willful misconduct of the indemnifying party, its officers, employees or agents,
under or in connection with or arising out of any work, authority or jurisdiction delegated to such
party under this Agreement. No party, nor any officer, board member, employee or agent thereof
shall be responsible for any damage or liability occurring by reason of the negligent acts or
omissions or willful misconduct of the other parties hereto, their officers, board members,
employees or agents, under or in connection with or arising out of any work authority or
jurisdiction delegated to such other parties under this Agreement.
Additionally, CITY shall indemnify COUNTY for CITY's apportioned share of any liability
incurred and attributed to the Countywide HHW Program for the transportation, treatment, or
disposal of the household hazardous waste, once the waste has been accepted by a licensed
hazardous waste hauler. Apportionment for disposal liability shall be determined by each
participating jurisdiction’s pro rata proportion of household participation in the Program.
Apportionment for transportation and treatment liability shall be determined by each
participating jurisdiction’s pro rata household participation at the event where the waste was
generated. COUNTY will use reasonable efforts to obtain recovery from all available resources,
including insurance, of any liable hauler or liable disposal facility operator. No liability shall be
apportioned to CITY for transportation, treatment or disposal in any case where COUNTY has
contracted for such services and has failed to require the contractor to maintain the insurance
requirements set forth in Section 25 above.
CITY shall further indemnify COUNTY for CITY's apportioned share of liability incurred and
attributed to the Countywide HHW Program for the transportation, treatment or disposal of
household hazardous waste at corporate sponsored events where non-county resident employees
of the corporate sponsor are authorized to participate in the event. Liability for the nonresident
portion of the disposal of waste shall be shared by the cities and the county as described above.
The nonresident portion shall be determined by calculating the percentage of nonresidents
participating in the event. This percentage will then be subtracted from the total liability for the
household hazardous waste prior to assessing CITY's apportioned share of any liability for the
household hazardous waste.
COUNTY shall require CESQGs and Nonprofit Charitable Reusers to indemnify COUNTY for
their apportioned share of any liability incurred and attributed to the Countywide HHW Program

NOW, THEREFORE, CITY and COUNTY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1.PURPOSE
The purpose of this Agreement is to state the terms and conditions under which CITY
will participate in the Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program
(CoHHW Program) available to its residents. Participating jurisdictions are those
jurisdictions that enter into an AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM.
2.PROGRAM FUNDING SOURCE
HHW Program services are directly mandated under AB939, which establishes
statutory authority to provide for funding to support planning and implementation of
integrated waste management programs. The AB939 HHW Fee, $2.60 per ton in FY
2012, collected as part of the AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE
AB939 IMPLEMENTATION FEE will be the primary source of funding for
CoHHW Program services.
Funds derived from the AB939 HHW Fee will be allocated among four types of
CoHHW Program service costs as follows:
A. Fixed Program Costs will be apportioned based on the number of households in
each participating jurisdiction. The number of households will be determined at
the beginning of each Fiscal Year by statistics compiled by the California
Department of Finance, Demographic Research Unit from their most Report,
“Population Estimates for California Cities and Counties.”
B. Abandoned Waste Disposal Costs will fund disposal of HHW illegally abandoned
at nonprofit charitable reuse organizations. The existing fund balance of
approximately $110,000 from previous years will fund Abandoned Waste
Disposal Costs for FY 2012.
C. Variable Cost Per Car to provide a base level service to 4% of households in all
participating jurisdictions. The number of households is determined by the most
recent “Population Estimates for California Cities and Counties” Report as
published by the California Department of Finance, Demographic Research Unit.
D. Available Discretionary Funding funded on tonnage generated per participating
jurisdiction.

Attachment E
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE
COLLECTION PLAN
EMERGENCY
1: PURPOSE
The purpose of the Household Hazardous Waste Emergency plan is to minimize potential public
health and safety impacts, as well as to minimize costs and confusion during an emergency or
disaster. This Attachment describes the services the County can provide and the responsibilities
of each party for the collection of household hazardous wastes (HHW) in response to an
emergency as defined by the local jurisdiction.
Jurisdictions should contact local emergency agencies, the Governor's Office of Emergency
Services (OES), and the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) for more specific
information on hazardous materials emergency response.
2. Timing of HHW
While it is important to have special collection opportunities for disaster-related HHW as soon as
possible to avoid illegal disposal or harm to people and/or the environment, having an event or
service too soon after a disaster may result in low participation. Sufficient public notification,
assessment and monitoring of the disaster, and cleanup process by the City HHW Coordinators is
essential.
3. Public Information/Notification
Cities should be prepared to provide the public with information related to the problems
associated with HHW along with information about special collection events and services. Upon
the decision to hold an emergency collection event, it is the City’s responsibility to prepare and
deliver the necessary public outreach to notify the public of an upcoming event. A City’s public
outreach program should evaluate all forms of media including: newspaper ads, posters, flyers,
press releases, banners, door -to-door notices, roadside signs, signs on dumpsters, radio public
service announcements, and television public access stations. Be aware of communities where
multiple language ads will be necessary.
4. State HHW Collection Permits
The State Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) is responsible for issuing the
necessary state permits for HHW collection facilities. During an emergency, the County will
obtain the necessary emergency permit, for special collection of household hazardous waste,
from DTSC through their expedited approval process.
AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM
2:
294
5. Collection Events
Temporary collection events can be set-up at various sites including parking lots, city
maintenance yards, neighborhoods needing service, and at landfills or a centralized location to
service larger segments of the population. Waste collected can be transported with the HHW
Program’s hazardous waste transportation vehicle. In additional, events can be scheduled at the
two existing Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facilities (CoHHWCF). The
following options are available to each participating City.
Neighborhood Drop-off Events: The County is able to provide localized service to specific
areas in need of household hazardous waste collection services. The County will work with
City Solid Waste Coordinators to conduct coordinated efforts to residents in the affected
area. After a specific event, waste will be transported by County staff or a hazardous waste
contractor to an appropriate facility.
Mobile HHW Event: The County conducts Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event
(Events) at various sites located in Santa Clara County throughout the year. Events will be
expanded to give priority to disaster victims when requested by the City. The County shall
obtain all necessary permits and licenses required for the events and shall provide and/or
contract for the services of properly trained personnel and hazardous waste haulers. The
County shall also provide or secure suitable equipment and supplies to properly receive,
package, label, haul, recycle and dispose of the household hazardous wastes collected at
events.
CoHHWCF: The County operates two permitted HHW collection facilities for the collection
and storage of HHW. The County shall provide or contract for services, equipment, and
supplies to properly receive, package, label, haul, recycle and dispose of wastes collected at
the CoHHWCF.
The CoHHWCF are located at:
Sunnyvale Recycling Center, 164 Carl Ave., Sunnyvale
San Martin, 13055 Murphy Ave, San Martin
6. Costs, Documentation, and Reimbursements
Cities will be billed on a cost recovery basis. Costs of emergency events will be tracked and
billed separately. Emergency funding applications pending from the State or Federal
government for reimbursements in no way relieves the City of responsibility to make timely
payment to the County in accordance with the terms of the AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR
COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM.
The County agrees to provide the City with a detailed accounting of services provided
for an emergency collection. Documentation will track the time and materials of staff, outside
contractor expenses, and quantities and types of waste collected to demonstrate that the wastes
were generated above and beyond existing collection programs.
AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM
31
295
Services to businesses will be provided on a cost recovery basis and according to Attachment D
of the AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE
COLLECTION PROGRAM, which includes program administration, on-site collection,
transportation, and disposal costs. The County will assume responsibility for collecting fees
from participating businesses.
7. State and Federal Assistance and Funds
It is the city’s responsibility to pursue reimbursement from State or Federal agencies.
State Office of Emergency Services (OES)
The OES is responsible for requesting assistance on behalf of local jurisdictions for resources
beyond the capability of the jurisdiction. State assistance may include assistance available from
State, Federal, or private sources. If a local jurisdiction is declared a state disaster area, and the
local jurisdiction deems that the needs of the disaster response are beyond its capabilities, then
the local jurisdiction can request assistance and reimbursement of costs from OES.
Follow Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS)
All requests and emergency responses must be in accordance with the SEMS. The State
Department of Toxic Substances Control may have funding available for hazardous waste
response and collection.
Federal Assistance
If a state disaster area is declared a federal disaster, thenfederal funding assistance may be
available through the State OES. Funding and assistance may be available from Federal
agencies such as FEMA and the U.S. EPA.
Damage estimates: The city should provide to the State OES estimates of damages and a "scope
of work requested." It is recommended that the local HHW coordinator meet ahead of time with
local emergency agencies or State OES contacts regarding the proper procedures and wording of
requests for assistance.
Funding Process:The funding process may vary depending on the unique circumstances of the
disaster. The process can either be the traditional FEMA reimbursement process, or by direct
assistance from EPA.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting:May 3, 2011
Subject
Consider renewing the voluntary cap of $28,000for campaign expenditures in the 2011 City
Council election.
Recommended Action
Adopt the attached resolution setting a voluntary expenditure cap of $28,000for the election of
2011, or provide other direction to staff.
Description
Beginning in 1997, the City Council has set voluntary campaign expenditure limits for each
election. There will be no expenditure limit, voluntary or otherwise,unless the Council takes
action to set a limitfor the 2011 election.
Discussion
If a limit is established for the 2011 election, it would be voluntary and would have no force of
law. If candidates indicate in writing their intention to abide by the limitation, a black diamond
will beprinted by their names in the sample ballot.
First-class postage costs have increased from $.41 to $.44 since May of 2007, and Cupertino’s
population increased by 593 from 2009 to 2010 to a total of 56,431. (The 2011 estimates are not
yet available from the Department of Finance).

content and purpose of the Annual Actual Plan.
Cupertino Housing Commission:
On May 18, 2010, the City Council approved a revised Citizen Participation Plan as part of its
2010-2015Consolidated Plan. Prior to expending CDBG dollars, the City is required to have
a Citizen Participation Plan, Consolidated Plan and an Annual Plan in place. As part of the
revised Citizen Participation Plan, the City declared that the Cupertino Housing Commission

Federal regulations require that each entitlement jurisdiction prepare an Annual Action Plan
th
and submit the plan no later than May 15of each year. The Annual Action Plan is a one-
year plan which describes the eligible programs, projects and activities to be undertaken with
funds expected during the program year (Fiscal Year 2011-2012) and theirrelationship to the
priority housing, homeless and community development needs outlined in the approved
Consolidated Plan. Furthermore, Federal regulations require the plan be made available for
30 days for public review and comment. The FY 2011-2012 Annual Action Plan (Attachment
C) was released for public review on March 11, 2011 for the 30-day review period. A notice

meeting is thefinal public hearing to approve the Annual Action Plan, with funding
recommendations,for submittal to HUD.
Fiscal Impact
The City of Cupertino is expecting to receive $353,012for fiscal year 2011-12, plus a
reallocation of $10,300 in projected program income from rehabilitation loan payoffs for a
total of $363,312.Since HUDhas not releasedthe 2011 allocations yet, any decrease in the
City’s entitlement will be reflected in a proportional decrease to all public service agencies.
Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley and Senior Housing Solutions will not be affected by a
decrease since they qualify for Affordable Housing Funds which will be used to make up any
decrease in CDBG funding.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Action Plan is an annual plan, which the City of Cupertino, as lead agency, oversees
pursuant to the goals outlined in the Consolidated Plan. The Action Plan details the activities
Cupertino will undertake to address the housing and community development needs and local
objectives using funds received during that program year from the Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) plus anticipated Program Income. The Action Plan consists of HUD-
developed forms plus a supplemental narrative.
The largest portion of the CDBG resources continues to be used for housing and homeless
programs available on a citywide basis. Fair housing activities and administrative costs will not
exceed 20% of the annual allocation.
Evaluation of Past Performance
Over the course of fiscal year 2010/2011 the City of Cupertino anticipates providing financial
assistance to 4 affordable housing units through the use of CDBG funds. The funds will be used
to assist in the construction of four units by Habitat for Humanity of local CHDO. The portion
of CDBG funds that will be allocated to public service subrecipients will be used to provide
approximately 800 persons with food, clothing and housing counseling, 90 days of shelter to 80
homeless and adult day care to 11 households.
Cupertino was successful in addressing a majority of the goals and objectives cited in the fiscal
year 2010/11 Annual Action Plan. Most of the CDBG funds were used to carry out activities
that benefit low and moderate-income persons. Only CDBG administration funds and a portion
of ECHO’s fair housing funds did not directly serve low and moderate-income persons. Some of
the funded activities include fair housing, senior services, food and clothing and emergency
housing. These activities continue to make a positive impact on identified needs and are
providing services that might have gone unmet. As can be expected, community needs continue
to exceed the available resources.
INTRODUCTION
The Annual Action Plan is a one-year plan which describes the eligible programs, projects and
activities to be undertaken with funds expected during the program year (Fiscal Year 2010-2011)
and their relationship to the priority housing, homeless and community development needs
outlined in the Consolidated Plan.
FEDERAL RESOURCES
The City of Cupertino’s Annual Action Plan for the 2011-12 Program Year is a comprehensive
approach to addressing the immediate community needs of people who are very low and low
income. The Action Plan is based on a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
entitlement of $353,012 that the City anticipates will be received from the federal Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and $10,300 in program income. Exhibit A describes
the agencies proposed to receive funding in the 2011-12 fiscal year. Also detailed in the exhibit
are the goals and proposed funding amount for each of the agencies.
313
Anticipated CDBG program income during the 2011-12 Program Year is estimated to total
$10,300 derived from outstanding rehabilitation program loans. A portion of that program
income will be allocated to support Public Service activities and administration. The city of
Cupertino will allocate $64,950 to public service activities. Consistent with CDBG regulations,
this amount represents no more than 15% of the combined total of the City's projected 2011-12
Program Year income and the 2011-12 entitlement.
In 1999 HUD informed the Santa Clara County that the San Jose Metropolitan Statistical Area is
one of the high-income areas where the income limits were increased to the actual 80% of
median income, adjusted for household size. The City of Cupertino will continue to use the
actual 80% of median income limits for all of its CDBG programs in the 2010 Program Year.
Individual activities may use a lower income eligibility criterion.
OTHER RESOURCES
Housing Mitigation Program
The Office and Industrial Mitigation Program acknowledges housing needs created by the
development of office and industrial projects. A fee is applied to new square footage of office
and industrial development in the City. The fees collected are deposited in the City's Affordable
Housing Fund and are to be used for the provision of affordable housing.
The City's Residential Mitigation Program applies to all new residential development of one unit
or greater. Residential developers are required to designate at least 15% of the units in an
ownership development as affordable and are required to pay a mitigation fee for rental
developments. These designated units are identified as the "BMR" (Below Market Rate) units.
For ownership developments of six or fewer units or in the case of all rental developments, the
developer may pay a fee in-lieu of building the affordable units. All affordable units developed
under the BMR program must remain affordable for 99 years from the date of first occupancy
and, if for sale units are resold during that period, a new 99 year time period is established.
The City administers the Affordable Housing Fund, which is currently supported with fees paid
through the Housing Mitigation Program. Potential options for use of the housing funds include:
a. Development of new affordable units.
b. Conversion of existing market rate units to affordable units.
c. Down payment assistance programs.
d. Second mortgage programs.
West Valley Community Services– West Valley Community Services (WVCS) is a non-profit
organization that assists in administering housing programs on behalf of the City of Cupertino.
WVCS administers the Rotating Shelter Program for homeless individuals and also manages a
transitional housing facility. Further, WVCS acts as the administrative agent on behalf of the
City in managing and monitoring the BMR program.
Housing Trust of Santa Clara County (HTSCC) – The HTSCC is a public/private venture,
dedicated to increasing affordable housing in the Silicon Valley. The Trust makes available
funds for developers to borrow for the construction of the affordable units. Cupertino originally
contributed $250,000 to the fund and accessed the fund to assist in the development of Vista
314
Village, a 24-unit affordable apartment complex constructed by BRIDGE Housing and Cupertino
Community Services. Subsequently, the City contributed $25,000 in 2008 and 2009.
"Move In For Less" Program - In cooperation with the Tri-County Apartment Association, this
program recognizes the high cost of securing rental housing. The program is geared to classroom
teachers in public or private schools who meet income criteria. Apartment owners/managers who
agree to participate in the program require no more than 20% of the monthly rent as a security
deposit from qualified teachers. This reduced security deposit hopefully makes it more
financially feasible for a teacher to move into rental housing.
Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Program -The MCC program provides assistance to first-
time homebuyers by allowing an eligible purchaser to take 20% of their annual mortgage interest
payment as a tax credit against federal income taxes. Santa Clara County administers the MCC
Program on behalf of the jurisdictions in the County, including Cupertino. The program does
establish maximum sales price limits on units assisted in this program and, due to the high
housing costs in Cupertino, there have been few households assisted in Cupertino in recent years.
Second Unit Program -- The City's Second Unit Ordinance allows an additional unit to be built
on any single-family residential parcel. The objective of this Ordinance is to encourage
additional units on already developed parcels, such as parcels with single-family dwellings.
Santa Clara County Affordable Housing Fund (AHF)
In July 2002, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors created an Office of Affordable
Housing and established a housing trust fund in the amount of $18.6 million to be used for
affordable housing developments. The primary goal of the fund is to leverage funding with other
sources and create affordable housing in Santa Clara County.
Section 8
The Housing Authority of the County of Santa Clara (HACSC) provides rental subsidies and
develops affordable housing for low-income families, seniors and persons with disabilities living
in Santa Clara County, California, the heart of Silicon Valley. This past year, the Housing
Authority provided voucher assistance to 74 Cupertino households.
Density Bonus Ordinance -- The City's Density Bonus Ordinance allows a 25% increase in
density for developments greater than 5 units that provide a proportion of units for very low or
low-income households or housing for senior citizens. In addition to the density bonus, certain
concessions can also be provided to the development, which can include:
a.Reduction of Parking Requirements,
b.Reduction of Open Space Requirements,
c.Reduction of Setback Requirements,
d.Approval of Mixed Use Zoning,
e.Reduction of Park Dedication Fees,
f.Reduction of application or construction permit fees, or
g.Provision of tax-exempt or other financial assistance.
315
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
The Housing Services Division of the Community Development Department is the lead agency
for overseeing the development of the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan.
This Annual Action Plan development process began with an advertised public hearing, held by
the Cupertino Housing Commission on March 10, 2011 to make funding recommendations to the
City Council. In addition, to the public notice, written notification of the hearing was made to
numerous non-profit service agencies and the city’s CDBG Steering Committee for the purpose
of gaining greater input for determining the best use of anticipated federal funds for addressing
community needs.
The City Council held two advertised public hearing on April 5, 2011 and May 5, 2011, to
determine the allocation of CDBG funds for the 2011 Program Year. The Annual Plan 30 day
public review period occurred March 11, 2011 through April 11, 2011. The City did not receive
any public comments.
CONSULTATION WITH OTHER JURISDICTIONS
As standard practice, CDBG entitlement jurisdictions from throughout Santa Clara County meet
at least quarterly to discuss issues of common interest. Meeting agendas cover such topics as
projects receiving multi-jurisdictional funding, performance levels and costs for contracted
public services, proposed annual funding plans, HUD program administration requirements, and
other topics of mutual concern. These quarterly meetings provided the opportunity for the City to
consult with other jurisdictions on its proposed use of federal funds for the 2011 Program Year.
CONSOLIDATED PLAN (CON PLAN) PRIORITIES
The City of Cupertino adopted a new Consolidated Plan on May 18, 2010 with the priorities
listed in Table 2A and 2B. These tables are attached and incorporated by reference as Exhibit B
of this document.
GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION
A map outlining geographic areas considered to be of low and moderate-income concentration is
included as part to this submittal. In the map, three Census tracts indicate a higher percentage of
low/mod population than all other Cupertino Census tracts. It is from these three Census tracts
that the City of Cupertino recruits three representatives of the CDBG Steering Committee.
Funding support for the listed projects is based more on expressed need within the community
rather than upon geographical priority.
ANTI-POVERTY STRATEGY
In a continuing effort to reduce poverty, the city of Cupertino will make it a priority to fund
agencies that provide direct assistance to the homeless and those in danger of becoming
homeless and make a commitment to improve the communication and service delivery
capabilities of agencies and organizations that provide programs to assist the homeless.
Depending on funding availability, Cupertino will continue to provide assistance to public
agencies and nonprofit organizations providing neighborhood housing services, supportive
316
services to the homeless, older adults with physical or mental impairment, the mentally ill,
victims of domestic violence, and households with abused children among others.
Coordinate with public agencies providing job training, life skills training, lead poisoning
prevention and remediation and other education programs that listed in the City’s Consolidated
Plan strategies.
HOMELESS AND SPECIAL NEEDS
In previous years, the City of Cupertino appropriated $20,000 in CDBG funds for the Sobrato
Family Living Center Project and contributed to the Home Safe-Santa Clara providing
transitional housing for survivors of domestic violence who are considered at-risk for
homelessness. Most recently, in a 2008 mid-year reallocation, the City contributed $800,000 to
Maitri, a non-profit agency providing transitional housing to victims of domestic violence, for
the purchase of a four-plex in Cupertino.
In addition to these capital project subsidies, the City will fund public service activities related to
homelessness. During the 2011 program year, the city will provide $19,014 to the Haven to
Home Program to provide support services to Cupertino. The City of Cupertino will also
continue to coordinate services to the homeless through such inter-agency efforts as the
Collaborative, Help House the Homeless, and the Community Technology Alliance and support
the regional Continuum of Care.
Cupertino also participated in the countywide homeless count that took place in early 2009
which reported 18 unsheltered homeless. This is an update of the surveys that took place in
2005, and 2007.
In addressing senior services, the City will continue advocacy for the increased dissemination of
accurate information and counseling for seniors and other persons regarding housing options
available. This will be accomplished through a cooperative effort with the Cupertino Senior
Center, Cupertino Community Services and the Cupertino Public Library.
LEAD-BASED PAINT
Lead-based paint awareness and abatement will be fully integrated by the City of Cupertino into
its assisted housing programs. Each tenant, landlord and property owner will be informed of the
dangers, symptoms, testing, treatment and prevention of lead-based paint poisoning. Lead-based
paint hazard stabilization or abatement will be provided in each and every rehabilitation project.
Furthermore, adherence to Federal guidelines for reduction activities with lead-based paint is
provided for in every federally funded rehabilitation loan.
PUBLIC HOUSING
The City will continue to encourage the local Public Housing Authority to develop affordable
units in the city of Cupertino.
LEVERAGING OF FUNDS
To the greatest extent possible, when feasible, the City of Cupertino will leverage public and
private resources to achieve the goals of the Consolidated Plan. Cupertino will continue to
317
request that affordable housing developers to seek private financing and grants and to fully
utilize other state and federal funding sources, such as the State of California Multifamily
Housing and the Low Income Housing Tax Credit programs.
FAIR HOUSING
Cupertino continues to support both the purpose and goal of fair housing and works to achieve
fair housing in administering federal, State and local programs. The City also supports the
development of affordable housing stock that is an important part of a fair housing initiative,
given the high cost of local housing.
In conjunction with other jurisdictions in Santa Clara County, the City commissioned a
comprehensive survey to identify unmet needs and unidentified barriers, to assess the delivery of
fair housing services, and to recommend action steps to meet the County's fair housing needs.
The study was completed in 2003 and the city will be working with the other Santa Clara County
to review program changes as a result of the study. The City prepared an Analysis of
Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) in 2004.
The proposed actions to be undertaken by the City in the 2010 Program Year consist of the
following:
The City will continue to require developers to provide relocation assistance when
residents will be displaced.
The City will continue to provide a housing program that allows for modification of
existing housing facilitating the needs of persons with disabilities.
The City will continue to support non-profit organizations whose purpose is to aid in the
furthering of fair housing in the community. Methods of support could include
notification of fair housing rights and responsibilities distributed in brochures located in
public buildings, public service announcements on the local access channel or similar
methods.
The City will continue to allow for the construction of higher occupancy housing
complexes on a case-by-case basis when possible, for all economic segments of the
community.
PROGRAM MONITORING
Performance monitoring for compliance to federal program requirements is scheduled at least
once annually for projects that are under service contract. Monitoring of federally funded
activities is undertaken for projects that are either under an annual or longer-term performance
period. In addition, the City undertakes an annual Single Audit according to the requirements of
the federal Office of Management and Budget. As standard practice, notification is made to HUD
on the availability of the City's annual audit.
URGENT OR COMMUNITY NEED
In the event of a local, state or federal disaster declaration for areas within the boundaries of the
City of Cupertino, the City will reserve the right to use CDBG funds to abate immediate and
necessary hazards. The funds may be used for staff efforts, grants or loans to affected parties, as
approved by the City Council and allowed under the federal regulations.
318
AMENDMENTS TO PLAN
Prior to the submission of any substantial amendment in the proposed use of funds, citizens will
be provided reasonable notice of, and the opportunity to comment on, any proposed Action Plan
amendments.

Green Building Ordinance, MCA-2010-04, andamendment to the City's Fee schedule
Recommended Action
1.Conduct first reading of Ordinance No. 11-2076amending Chapter 16.58 of the
Cupertino Municipal Code, Green Building Standards Code Adopted(Attachment A);
and
2.Adopt draftResolution11-amending the City’s adopted Fee Schedule to incorporate
Green Building deposit fees(Attachment B).
Description
Application: MCA-2010-04
Applicant: City of Cupertino
Location: Citywide
Application Summary: Municipal Code Amendment to adoptan ordinanceamending Chapter
16.58 of the Cupertino Municipal Code, Green Building Standards Code Adopted (See
Attachment A, Ordinance No. 11-2076) and adopt related fees and deposits (See Attachment B,
DraftResolution).
BACKGROUND
On February 1, 2011, the City Council reviewed the draft Green Building Ordinance and directed
staff to:
1.Revisethe draft ordinanceto be consistent with the Santa Clara County Cities
Associations’ Phase II Recommendations and the additional changes that Council
discussed; and
2.Provide acost analysis of representative projects, including asingle-family, multi-family
and office development, whichprovideestimates of the total cost of development,
including the additional cost to comply with the proposed Green Building Ordinance
requirements(Attachment D).
Public comments received duringand subsequent tothe public hearing included:
331
Clarify when and what part of a remodeling project is subject to theordinance
requirements; for renovations and additions, requirements should only apply to the scope
of the work.
The draftordinanceexceeds the Cal Green building code standards and can make the cost
of a development project infeasible.
Verification requirements could affect the tenancy of buildings if the requirement
thresholds are so low that it will affect whether tenant improvements and upgrading can
take place.
Certification costs add significantly to the development costs for commercial
developments, including the additional administration, architectural design and time costs
to construct a project.
Do not provide incentives that reduce parking requirements or increase floor area ratio
allowances.
Ordinance should not exceed the Cal Green building code standards, and should not
apply to tenant improvements.
Since the February 1, 2011 Council meeting, the City has becomeaware that some local cities,
including the Cities of Mountain View and Palo Alto, have recently merged their green building
ordinances with their locally adopted 2010 California Green Building Standards Code (Cal
Green). This was essentially done as a result of thenew Cal Green building codes thattook effect
on January 1 of this year. Merging these two codes essentially allowed them to integrate all of
the green building measures into one ordinanceand preventshaving to subsequently amend the
green building ordinance requirements every time the Cal Green building codes are amended.
Additionally,the changemoves the green building measures into the local building codes.
Merging of these two codes would basically entail amending Chapter 16.58 of the Cupertino
Municipal Code, and makinglocal amendments to the Cal Green building codesto reflect the
Green Building Ordinance requirements.
DISCUSSION
The combined draft ordinance (See Attachment A, Ordinance No. 11-2076)merges the Green
Building Ordinancethatthe Council had reviewed at its February 1, 2011 meeting into Chapter
16.58 of the Cupertino Municipal Code. A copy of the current Chapter 16.58 is included (See
Attachment C) with strikeouts showing the sections that have been deleted. However, the key
components of the draft Green Building Ordinance, including all changesrecommended by the
Council,have been incorporatedand are outlined below in this report.
Section 16.58.220 Table 101.10 (Requirements)
The following table illustrates the progression from and a comparison of the Phase II
Recommendations, the Planning Commission recommended draft Green Building Ordinance
requirements, and the Revised Draft Green Building requirements per the February 1, 2011 City
Council meeting. The revised changesreflect Council’sdirection to be consistent with the Phase
II Recommendations and to incorporate other items discussed by Council.

Note: * CalGreen Mandatory requirements shall only be applied to elements included in the

Sections 16.58.130 and 16.58.140 Residential New Construction, Single-Family and Multi-
Family Residential
Tobe consistent with the Phase II Recommendation, threshold levels have been increased to
differentiate between less than 9 homes (whether single-family or multi-family) and 9 homes
or more.
To be consistent with the Phase II Recommendation, the Minimum Requirement has been
lowered from 85 Green Point Rated (GPR) points to 50 GPR points. However, the LEED
requirements remain the same as the Planning Commission recommended for the two
threshold levels of development.
Option to New Construction, Single-Family and Multi-Family Residential
As proposed, the minimum Phase II LEED requirement for 9 homes or more is either 50
GPR points or LEED Silver. However, given that 50 GPR points fall short of theLEED
Silver certification level (75 GPR pointsequivalent),the Council couldconsider an option to
raise the minimum GPR points to 75 pointsto make the GPR and LEED points comparable.
336
Sections 16.58.160 through 16.58.180 Non-Residential New Construction
Modify the mid-size new construction threshold requirement from 10,001-25,000 square feet
to 10,001–50,000square feet, and the large-size new construction threshold to 50,001 or
more square feet.
Section 16.58.150 Residential, Renovation/Addition
Exempt all single-family and minor multiple-family renovations/additions from the
ordinance requirements.
Modify the requirements defining major multiple-family renovations/additionsas an increase
to the floor area ratio (FAR) greater than or equal to 50%,and at least 10,000 square feet,and
replacement or alteration of the HVAC system and at least two of the following: building
envelope, hot water system and lighting system.
Section 16.58.190 through 16.58.200 Non-residential, Renovation/Addition

sq.ft.square feetrequiring LEED Certified with City Review, and 50,001 or more square feet
requiring LEED Certified with Third Party Certification.
Section 16.58.210 Mixed-Use
The City’s green building consultant, Global Green, recommends that we further clarify the
requirements for mixed use projects by adding language that states the applicable
requirement shall be the requirement for the use that comprises the majority ofthe project’s
square footage. This would eliminate the need for applicants and staff to track two separate
checklists, one for residential requirements and another for non-residential requirements,
which could become cumbersome to manage. The wording would be amended to add the
italicized wording as follows:
“For new and renovation/addition projects with residential and non-residential components,
each use shall comply with the mandatory measures of the California Green Building
Standards Code and any amendments to this code by the City of Cupertino, and with the
requirements applicable to the use that comprises the majority of the project’s permitted
square footage.”
Section 16.58.230 Alternate green building standards
Alternate green building standards section has been incorporated based upon the previous
draft Green Building Ordinance.
Changes include moving the approval authority of alternate standards to the Building Official
as other cities have done by moving these regulations to the building code;removing the
reference of alternate standard examples since these may change over time and new
standards may be developed; and removing the required finding that the “project will meet or
exceed the applicable minimum and/or exemplary standards” since exemplary standards have
been removed and it is difficult to equate one standard to another.
Section 16.58.240 Verification
This section has been revised to replace referencesto “Formal Verification” with “Third
Party Certification” and “Informal Verification” with “City Review.These references have
337
also been replaced throughout the ordinance in Table 101.10. This clarification has been
made to more accurately identify the process and requirements that a project will either
require review by the City or certification through a third party rating system to meet the
verification requirement.
Green Building Refundable Deposits/Fee Schedule
In the resolution (See Attachment B, Resolution to amend the Fee Schedule) to amend the Fee
Schedule, the Council recommendedto:
Halve the Planning Commission recommended deposits for Third Party Certificationand for
Single-Family Residential City Review, resulting in:
Green Building Deposit –Third Party Certification
Project TypePlanning Commission Revised Deposits per 2/1/11
RecommendationCouncil discussion
$2/sq.ft., max. $2,000$2/sq. ft., max $ 1,000
Single-Family

Residential
$2/sq.ft., min. $70,000/ $2/sq. ft., min. $35,000/
Non-Residential
max. $150,000max. $75,000
For projects requiring City Review, the fee schedule will note that the cost of review will
reflect consultant costs to review the project.For initial deposits, staff proposes $500 for
Single-Family homes, $1500 for Multi-family Residential and $1500 for Non-residential
projects.
Option for Fee Schedule
The Council may consider the deposit amounts as recommended by the Planning
Commission for City Reviewsince these deposit amounts are closely reflective of the actual
certification costs.
Voluntary Requirements to Obtain Incentives
Section has been removed based on Council discussion to remove the proposed incentives in
the draft ordinance.As a result, the “exemplary standards” in the table have been removed as
well.
Options for Incentives
One incentive that the Council recommended for further discussion and consideration is to
allow increased floor area ratio (FAR) of up to 10% over that allowed in the Municipal Code.
Should Council wish to incorporate this incentive, a section regarding incentives and
exemplary standards can be added back into the draft ordinance.
Other incentives that the Council may consider include expedited building permit processing
for projects that exceed Green Building Ordinance requirements and/orawarding a
plaque/recognition to the applicant. Staff is reviewing an expedited fee for projects and
338
proposes to bring this back during the mid-year budget adjustment for FY2011-2012. If the
Council wishes to offer incentives for projects that exceed the Green Building Ordinance
requirements, exemplary standards can be added back into the draft ordinance and projects
that met the requirements could be offered the expedited process at no cost or a reduced cost
at that time. The Council may also choose to create a program to recognize projects that
exceed the Green Building standards by awarding a plaque or other recognition.
Section 16.58.260 Exemptions
Staff has modified this section to allow for additional unforeseen exemptions, in addition to
historical or atypical energy-related projects.Moving these requirements to the building code
will allow exemptions to be granted by the Building Official.This is consistent with the
codes for other cities such as Mountain View and Palo Alto.
Cost Analysis of Reference Projects
In response to the Council’s request, the City’s Green Building consultant, Global Green,
prepared an analysis (See Attachment D) of how the proposed Green Building Ordinance
requirements would impact development costs of projects in the City.An analysis was
conducted of three development projects approved by the City within the past five years
representing a single-family development, multi-family development and commercial
development, to generate a rough estimate of the additional costs that would be incurred as a
result of meeting the proposed Green Building Ordinance requirements. The estimate is based
upon additional modifications that would be required for these projects to achieve LEED
Certification, which include minor design modifications and modifications to meet the energy
performance and ventilation prerequisite requirements of LEED.More specifically, the analysis
considered that these projects needed:
Upgraded mechanical system designs
Modified landscape plans to reduce water use
Environmentally preferable building materials, such as recycled-content, low-emission and
locally manufactured materials
Stormwater management systems
Increased diversion requirements for construction and demolition waste from 50% to 75%
Additional construction verification measures
A summary of these representative projects and the estimated costs to meet the Green Building
Ordinance requirements are illustrated below. The analysis essentiallydetermined that the
percentage cost increase over meeting the Cal Green building standards was in the range of 1% -
2.2%, which is in line with incremental cost studies that have determined the incremental cost of
achieving LEED Certification ranges from 0% to 5% of total construction costs, with most
projects experiencing 3% or less of an increase in costs. The reason these are estimates is that
LEED and GPR are performance-based, which allows flexibility in the type of green measures
that can be incorporated into a project, leading to different choices regarding credit selection and
the costs associated with achieving those credits.

Effectiveness Study, the estimated annual energy savings is $115/year for the single-family
house, $1,600/yearfor the multi-family, and $18,000/yearfor the non-residential building.
Additional savings would result from reduced water use and lower maintenance costs. The
projects may also experience more rapid appreciation or higher assessed value at time of sale.
Chamber of Commerce Legislative Action Committee
On March 3, 2011, staff presented the comparison table of the Phase II Recommendations,
Planning Commission recommended draft ordinance, and reviseddraft Green Building
requirements per the February 1, 2011 Council meeting, to the Chamber of Commerce
Legislative Action Committee. Staff presented the revised draft ordinance requirements as a
result of Council’s direction to conduct outreach to the community to gauge the community’s
feedback on the draft ordinance requirements.
Staff received many constructive comments including:
Revised draft ordinance is more palatable to the community
LEED Silver is an industry standard for any commercial development over 25,000 sq.ft.
33:
Communication to the public about the policies, implementation and enforcement is
important
Exemptions for economic hardship should be considered
Consider incentivesfor exemplary standards
Consider providing in-house certification, rather than a third-party certification. This saves
time by providing more flexibility so applicant can work directly with staff to resolve issues
rather than working with a third-party or outside consultants
Define “minor” versus “major” renovation
Explain the deposits/fees
Provide a final draft ordinance for the Chamber to review before adoption
Building Standards Commissionand Effective Date of Ordinance
The combined Cal Green/Green Building Ordinance will require approval from the Building
Standards Commission (BSC) prior to the date that the ordinance will take effect. The Building
Standards Commission must approve the ordinance to allow for the local amendments to the
California Green Building Standards Code (Cal Green), since the local amendments exceed the
minimum Mandatory Requirement of the CalGreen.
The City may tentatively approve of the combined ordinance during which time an application
can be submitted to the Building Standards Commission. The Planning Commission suggested
that a six month grace period be provided after adoption of the ordinance and before the
ordinance takes effectto allow applicants adequate time to get information about the new
regulations prior to preparation of project drawings and submitting building permits.Based on
the City Attorney’s recommendation to provide a date certain that would be easier to remember,
staff suggests January 1, 2012 as the effective date. Staffbelieves this would allow for sufficient
time to submit and receive approval from theBuilding Standards Commission before the
ordinance would take effect.
Filing to the Building Standards Commission will require that the City make findings to exceed
the Mandatory Requirements of the Cal Green building codes.These findings are included as
Exhibit B of Ordinance No. 11-2076.
Environmental Review
The proposed ordinance is considered statutorily exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines pursuant to Section 15308 since this is an action by a regulatory
agency for the protection of the environment and assures the maintenance, restoration,
enhancements or protection of the environment where the regulatory process involves procedures
for protection of the environment.

16.58.230 Section 101.10.2 – Added
Add Section 101.10.2 to read as follows:
101.10.2 Alternate green building standards. The applicant may request to apply an
alternate green building reference standard for a project in lieu of the minimum standards per
Table 101.10. In making a determination in response to an application under this section, the
Building Official may allow an alternate reference standard if he/she finds that the proposed
alternative reference green building rating system complies with all of the following:
A.Addresses a comprehensive scope of green building issues including energy efficiency,
water efficiency, resource efficient materials, and healthy building practices;
B.Applies standards that are, when taken as a whole, as stringent as the GPR and LEED
standards;
C.Includes a formalized certification process that incorporates third party verification; and
D.The project will advance the purposes of this Chapter.
16.58.240 Section 102.3 – Amended
Amend Section 102.3 to read as follows:
102.3 Verification. Documentation of conformance for applicable green building
measures shall be provided to the City of Cupertino. Verification that the project meets the
applicable environmental standards occurs through either the Third Party or City Review
verification process per the requirements in Table 101.10. The following lists the verification
requirements for Third Party and City Review verification, and alternative methods:
A.Third Party Certification. A project will be required to meet the Third Party certification
process if the City determines that the project meets or exceeds the applicable thresholds
listed in Table 101.10. The applicant shall submit all of the following to the City, in
addition to other application requirements, to assist the City in determination
compliance with the green building requirements:
a.Planning Application. A green building checklist that includes cross-references to
appropriate locations in the construction documents for all prerequisites and
selected points or credits that demonstrates that the proposed project meets the
applicable minimum requirements.
99582.2
352
b.Building Permit.
i.Proof of project registration with administrating body of the applicable reference
standard, and
ii.A green building checklist that includes cross-references to appropriate locations
in the construction documents for all prerequisites and selected points or credits;
that demonstrate that the proposed project meets the applicable minimum
requirements, and
c.Green Building deposit in an amount that may be set from time to time by resolution
of the City Council. The applicant may provide the deposit in the form of cash or in
any other form that the City finds acceptable to meet the purposes of this Section.
The full amount of the deposit shall be returned upon the certification document
being provided per 102.3 (A)(c). If however, the project does not meet the
requirements of this Chapter, as applied to the project, then the City shall retain the
full amount of the deposit, and shall use the deposit solely to advance the purposes
of this Chapter.
d.Within 18 months of Final Occupancy – Provide certification document for LEED,
GPR or alternate rating standard in a form accepted by the City per Table 101.10.
B.City Review. A project will meet the City Review process if the City determines that the
project meets or exceeds the applicable thresholds set forth in Table 101.10 and the
applicant submits all of the following to the City in addition to other application
requirements, to assist the City in making that determination:
a.Planning Application.
i.A green building checklist per Section 102.3(A)(a).
b.Building Permit.
i.A green building checklist per Section 102.3(A)(b)(ii), and
ii.A refundable deposit to defray the City’s costs of verifying that the building is
designed to the applicable minimum requirements.
16.58.260 Section 102.3.1 – Added
Added Section 102.3.1 to read as follows:
102.3.1 Exemptions. The Building Official shall determine the maximum feasible
threshold of compliance reasonably achievable for the project. Projects that are exempted from
the requirements of the California Green Building Standards Code as amended by the City of
Cupertino shall meet the requirement in section A and at least oneof the requirements in
sections B-D:
A.Projects that demonstrate that it is not feasible for the project to fully meet the green
building requirements and that the purposes of this chapter will have been achieved
to the maximum extent possible shall be exempted only for the specific rating system
prerequisite that has been determined to be infeasible.
B.Projects that demonstrate compliance with this code but which will conflict with the

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting:May 3, 2011
Subject
2011Cupertino Bicycle Transportation Plan.
Recommended Action
Adopt ResolutionNo. 11-______,approvingthe 2011 Cupertino Bicycle Transportation Plan.
Discussion
The Cupertino Bicycle Transportation Plan is a long-range planning document designed to
encourage bicycling as a safe, practical and healthyalternative to the motor vehicle. The current
Plan was adopted by the City Council in December, 1998. Since that time, the city has witnessed
an increase in bicycle usage, as well as an increased emphasis on alternative forms of
transportation as a way toreduce traffic congestion andpromote environmental sustainability.
As a result, over the past two years the Cupertino Bicycle Pedestrian Commission and City staff
have been working together to develop an update to the Bicycle Transportation Plan that
addresses present and future needs of the bicycling community, sustainability, and satisfies the
requirements for funding eligibility for bicycle projects.
The 2011 Cupertino Bicycle Transportation Plan is divided into five main chapters. Chapter 2,
Environment,describes Cupertino’sclimate and topography, its major land-use features, and
provides data on present and projected bicycle use. Chapter 3,Engineering,describes each of
theseventeenproposed bikeways throughout Cupertino.Chapter 4, Encouragement,describes
the ways in which bicycling can be encouraged and discusses incentives to bicycle commuting.
Chapter 5, Education,discusses the challenges posed by cyclists who lack the basic skills to
safely ride a bicycle in traffic, and the various education programs and approaches designed to
improve cyclists’ safety. Chapter 6, Enforcement, focuses on the importanceand roleof law
enforcement officials in citing cyclists who fail to observe the rules of the road.
The heart of the Plan is Chapter 3, in which each of the seventeen proposed bikeways are
described. For each bikeway, the proposed designation (bike route, bike lane, bicycle boulevard,
etc.), location, a description of the work to be done, length, and approximate cost are given.
Proposed improvements range from small, low-cost items such as installing bike route signs, to
large-scale projects such as a grade-separated railroad crossing. Additionally, implementation of
many of the bikeways will need to be vetted with the neighborhoods, as they may involve
removal of on-street parking, removal of stop signs, or providing access through neighborhoods
399
which currently have no through access. City Council’s adoption of the 2011 Bicycle
Transportation Plan will allow staffto pursue the feasibility of the individual bikeways through
detailed engineering study,public outreach, and funding research, and that staff will return to
Council for final approval of each of the bikeways individually once that work has been done
and community concernshave been mitigated to the extent possible.
The adoption of a Bicycle Transportation Plan is a requirement for a jurisdiction to be eligible
for outside funding from certain sources, such as Transportation Development Act(TDA)money
administered through the Metropolitan Transportation Commissionand Bicycle Transportation
Account(BTA)money administered through Caltrans.
Sustainability Impact
Implementation of the elements of the 2011 Bicycle Transportation Plan willencourage
bicycling, reduce reliance on the single-occupancy vehicle, and will therefore have a positive
impact on sustainability. Additionally, adopting the Plan is consistent with theCirculation
Element of the General Plan, Goal B (“Increased Use of Public Transit, Carpools, Bicycling,
Walking, and Telecommuting”) and Goal C (“A Comprehensive Network of Pedestrian and
Bicycle Routes and Facilities”).
Fiscal Impact
There is no immediate fiscal impact resulting fromadoption ofthe Bicycle Transportation Plan.
However, there will bea cost associated with implementing each of the proposed improvements
contained within the Plan. Many of the smaller improvements could be funded by existing
operating budgets with minimal fiscal impact. Larger projects may require identifying specific
funding sources, such as TDA or BTA grant money, and inclusion withinthe Capital
Improvement Program. Staff would return to Council at a later date for approval of individual
projects that have a significant fiscal impact.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: May 3, 2011
Subject
Consider an Ordinance adopting Chapter 10.90 of the Municipal Code to regulate smoking in
recreational areas.
Recommended Action
Conduct the first reading of an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Cupertino adopting
Chapter 10.90 of the City Municipal Code to prohibit smoking and tobacco use in recreational areas.
Description
Good health is important to Cupertino residents and businesses. One of the outcomes for the
recreation areas smoking and tobacco free is a positive step in making these popular outdoor public
areas healthier.
San Jose, Milpitas, Saratoga, Sunnyvale, and County of Santa Clara have adopted ordinances
restricting smoking in recreational areas. Campbell and Los Gatos are considering adopting a ban on
smoking in recreational areas.
469
Discussion
On January 10, 2011 the City entered into an agreement with the County of Santa Clara for the
purpose of preventing tobacco use. The agreement was a conduit for which the City is eligible to
receive $23,387 in grant funds from the Centers for Disease Control. If the Council approves the
proposed amendment to the City ordinances, this grant will help the City to implement a city anti-
smoking and tobacco use policy in recreation areas.
Currently there is a State law that prohibits smoking near playgrounds and tot lots used by children
(California Health & Safety Code section 104495). The law applies only to parks designed
specifically for use by children and does not apply to smokeless tobacco products. State Law also
prohibits smoking within 20 feet of public buildings.
Enacting restrictions on smoking and tobacco use in addition to state minimums are supported by the
data showing that tobacco-related illness is the leading cause of preventable death in the United
12
states, accounting for about 443,000 deaths each year; and scientific studies have concluded
that tobacco use can cause chronic lung disease, coronary heart disease, and stroke, in addition to
3
cancer of the lungs, larynx, esophagus, and mouth. These adverse affects are not limited to the
user of tobacco products.

The U.S. Surgeon General concluded that there is no risk-free level of exposure to secondhand smoke,
and the California Air Resources Board placed secondhand smoke in the same category

as the most toxic automotive and industrial air pollutants by categorizing it as a toxic air
5
contaminant for which there is no safe level of exposure. The California Environmental
Protection Agency included secondhand smoke on the Proposition 65 list of chemicals known to
6
the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm. In fact,
secondhand smoke is responsible for as many as 73,000 deaths among nonsmokers each year in
7
the United States, and exposure to secondhand smoke increases the risk of coronary heart
8
disease by approximately thirty percent. These harmful effects are especially troublesome for
children in that secondhand smoke exposure causes lower respiratory tract infections, such as
pneumonia and bronchitis in as many as 300,000 children in the United States under the age of
910
18 months each year, in addition to exacerbating childhood asthma.
It is also important to note that levels of secondhand smoke exposure outdoors can reach levels
attained indoors depending on direction and amount of wind and number and proximity of
11
smokers. The irritation from secondhand smoke begins at levels as low as 4 micrograms per
cubic meter, and in some outdoor situations this level can be found as far away as 13 feet from
12
the burning cigarette. To be completely free from exposure to secondhand smoke in outdoor
places, a person may have to move nearly 25 feet away from the source of the smoke, about the
13
width of a two lane road.

While the effects of smoking and second hand smoke are harmful, the implications of using
smokeless tobacco are equally concerning and should be addressed. Smokeless tobacco use causes
14
cancerous, and smokeless tobacco products are known to cause lung, larynx, esophageal, and
15
oral cancer. Additionally,
16
disease and death.
While smoking and tobacco use have many adverse effects, the litter associated with
smoking and tobacco product use also poses a health threat to young children. In 2004, American
poison control centers received nearly 8,000 reports of children poisoned by the ingestion of
17
cigarettes, cigarette butts, and other tobacco products. Children who ingest cigarette butts can
18
experience vomiting, nausea, lethargy, and gagging. Cigarette butts are also a major and
persistent source of litter. It is estimated that over two billion cigarette butts are discarded every
day worldwide, and that Americans alone discard more than 175 million pounds of cigarette
19
butts every year. Cigarette filters, made of plastic cellulose acetate, take approximately 15
20
years to decompose. In just three hours, 340,000 cigarette butts were collected from California
beaches during the 2008 Coastal Cleanup Day, making cigarette butts the most common type of
21
trash found 24 years in a row. Cigarette filters have been found in the stomachs of birds, fish,
whales, and other marine creatures that have mistaken the filters for food, causing the animals to
22
ingest harmful plastic and toxic chemicals Los Angeles County recorded a 40% decrease in
23
cigarette butts after banning smoking on beaches in three cities.

The vast amount of data supporting the adverse health risks, as well as threats to the
environment, also demonstrates the high cost of smoking and tobacco use. The total annual
24
economic burden of smoking in the United States is $193 billion, and the total annual cost of
smoking in California was estimated at $475 per resident or $3,331 per smoker per year, for a
25
total of nearly $15.8 billion in smoking-related costs in 1999 alone.
In an attempt to protect the public health, safety and welfare the proposed ordinance would prohibit
smoking and use of tobacco products in all City recreational areas.
Sustainability Impact
Smoke and tobacco free recreational areas help reduce litter as well as the air pollution. Smoke free
recreational areas also reduce the risk of a serious wildfire in local parks.
Fiscal Impact
The grant from the Centers for Disease Control will provide funds to implement the smoke and
tobacco free recreational areas policy. These funds will be used to pay for any new signs for the
parks as well as informational/educational material regarding the new policy.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting:May 3, 2011
Subject
Consider an Ordinance to place stop signs on Bandley Drive at Mariani Avenue.
Recommended Action
Conduct first reading of Ordinance No. 11-_____, Amending Section 11.20.030 of the Cupertino
Municipal Code Relating to Establishment of All Directional Vehicular Stop Required at Certain
Intersections;Bandley Drive at Mariani Avenue.
Discussion
The intersection of Bandley Drive and Mariani Avenue is a T-intersection that is currently
controlled by a stop sign on Mariani Avenue, the minor street approach. There are no stop signs
on Bandley Drive. A crosswalk across Bandley exists on the south side of the intersection, and a
crosswalk across Mariani exists on the east side. See Attachment Bfor a diagram of the
intersection. Traffic volumes through the intersection are fairly heavy during the morning and
afternoon commute periods, and pedestrian volumes are also heavy at times. The intersection is
on a walking route to Lawson Middle School. Connectivity needs between multiple buildings
leased by Apple have also caused greater pedestrian volumes at this intersection.
The City has received requests from time to time to convert the intersection to an all-way STOP
by installing stop signs on Bandley. The State of California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MUTCD) prescribes specific warrantsthat should be met in order to justify installing
an all-way STOP. These warrants take in consideration traffic and pedestrian volumes, vehicle
speeds, vehicle delays, and accident history. Analysis of intersection operations with respect to
these warrants has typically indicated that an all-way STOP installation is not warranted.
Within the past three months, there have been two reported accidents at the intersection related to
left-turning vehicle conflicts. Also, within the past five years, there have also been two reported
accidents involving pedestrians in the crosswalks. This number of accidents is not sufficient in
itself to meet the warrants prescribed in the MUTCD; however, the MUTCD does allow the
engineer to consider the need to control left-turn conflicts, and the need to control
vehicle/pedestrian conflicts, in the determination as to whether an all-way stop installation is
warranted. It is staff’s opinion that the installation of stop signs on Bandley Drive will lead to a
reduction in these types of accidents in the future.
478
Authority is granted to local jurisdictions to place stop signs through Section 22450(b) of the
CVC, which states, “Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a local authority may adopt
rules and regulations by ordinance or resolution providing for the placement of a stop sign at any
location on a highway under its jurisdiction where a stop sign would enhance traffic safety.”
Fiscal Impact
The cost of installing the signs and striping on Bandley Drive is incorporated into the annual
operational budget of Public Works staff. There is no additional fiscal impact for this work.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: March 15, 2011
Subject
Introduce a resolutionsetting forth a policy forthe City Council touse teleconferencingin connection
with itsCity Council meetings.
Recommended Action
Consider adoptingthe attached resolutionclarifying theconditions under which teleconferencing may
be used.
Description
On April 5, 2011, Council discussed adoptinga policy to enable council members toattend council
meetings via teleconferencing in the event they are unable to attend. The Brown Act sets forth the
basic requirements for teleconferencing,but there are various matters left to Council discretion.
Government Code Section 54953, a provision of the Brown Act, permits a legislative body to allow
teleconferencing if it benefits the public and the City Council. The specific language is as follows:
(b) (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the legislative body of a local agency may
use teleconferencing for the benefit of the public and the legislative body of a local agencyin
connection with any meeting or proceeding authorized by law. The teleconferenced meeting
or proceeding shall comply with all requirements of this chapter and all otherwise applicable
provisions of law relating to a specific type of meeting or proceeding. (Emphasis added)
(2) Teleconferencing, as authorized by this section, may be used for all purposes in
connection with any meeting within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body. All
votes taken during a teleconferenced meeting shall be by roll call.
The Council as a whole must determine how it wants to dealwith teleconferencing; it is not the
prerogative of a single member of the Council. This is clear from the language in (b)(1) emphasized
above, and is reinforced by the introductory language to subsection (b)(3) noted below. Although the
original statutory provision referred only to video teleconferencing, the law now refers to
teleconferencing by any electronic means, and in most instances the default method has been audio.
482
(4) For the purposes of this section, "teleconference" means a meeting of a legislative body,
the members of which are in different locations, connected by electronic means, through
either audio or video, or both. Nothing in this section shall prohibit a local agency from
providing the public with additional teleconference locations.
The basic requirements set forth in order for a teleconference to be a legal method to conduct a
meeting are:
1. All votes must be taken by roll call (see subsection (b)(2) cited above).
2. Agendas must be posted at all teleconference locations (seesubsection (b)(3) cited below.)
3. The Council may provide several teleconference locations (see subsection (b)(4) cited above.)
4. Each teleconference location must be identified in the meeting notice and agenda (see subsection
(b)(3) cited below.)
5.Each teleconference location must be accessible to the public (see subsection (b)(3) cited below.)
6. Members of the public must have the opportunity to address the City Council directly at each
location (see subsection (b)(3) cited below.)
7. At least a quorum of the City Council must participate from locations within the City; there is a
health authority exception that does not apply (see subsection (b)(3) cited below)
8. Meetings must be conducted in a manner that protects the statutory and constitutional rights of all
participants (see subsection (b)(3) cited below.)
(b) (3) If the legislative body of a local agency elects to use teleconferencing, it shall post
agendas at all teleconference locations and conduct teleconference meetings in a manner that
protects the statutory and constitutional rights of the parties or the public appearing before the
legislative body of a local agency. Each teleconference location shall be identified in the
notice and agenda of the meeting or proceeding, and each teleconference location shall be
accessible to the public. During the teleconference, at least a quorum of the members of the
legislative body shall participate from locations within the boundaries of the territory over
which the local agency exercises jurisdiction, except as provided in subdivision (d). The
agenda shall provide an opportunity for members of the public to address the legislative body
directly pursuant to Section 54954.3 at each teleconference location.
Cities that allow teleconferencing haveprocedures for implementing it. Palo Alto has rules that
"strongly discourage" teleconferencing and require a council or board member who wishes to do it to
demonstrate that all of the requirements (location, accessibility, etc) can be met before allowing it.
San Francisco’s charter prohibits teleconferencing except under limited circumstances. The cities of
Campbell, Mountain View, Saratoga, Los Gatos and Sunnyvale have allowed teleconferencing a few
times in the last few years but do not have a formal policy on the issue. Acopy of the Palo Altoand
San Francisco policies areattached for your review.
Logistically, staff will be able to accommodate teleconferencing with some modifications to current
practices and equipment. The Clerk’s office may need additional agenda preparation time to
coordinate with the councilmember or hotel on the specifics of each event and this will vary
depending on the location and facility available. The City Channel crew willbe able tohandle the
technical aspects of the call and while the system will accommodate a teleconference currently, some
modificationsare required to provide an audio connection void of feedback. It is estimated these
483
technical modificationscan be accomplished bythe end of June.
