ROLL CALL Present: Mayor Kris Wang, Vice-Mayor Patrick Kwok, and Council members Richard Lowenthal, Orrin Mahoney, and Dolly Sandoval. Absent: none. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS - None. GOAL SETTING WORK SESSION 1. Staff presentation: Organization and Work Program. A. Budget and Economic Horizon - Acting City Manager Carol Atwood said that the city's fiscal outlook is currently balanced, in part because of income from the better-than-expected sales tax from Apple Computer, Inc., and also because of recent legislative changes regarding tax equity allocations, which will bring in $1.35 million more in property taxes each year. She said staff will make a presentation in May about ways the Council can consider paying for other costs expected later in the year. Atwood discussed the financial impacts of the recent referenda against two condominium developments. Those impacts included the loss of $930,000 in park dedication fees from Vallco, which were slated for the Stevens Creek Corridor, and the loss of a 3.5 acre park in the Toll Brothers' project and an additional $30,000 per year in retail sales tax. B. Development Activity - Community Development Director Steve Piasecki highlighted current development activity, including the following: . 125 residential units on Tantau Avenue . 115 apartments and open space added to Villa Serra apartments . 25 residential units on Stelling Road. . 10,000 sq. ft. of retail buildings added to the corner by Target . 8,000 sq. ft. of retail building on the northeast corner of Tantau and Stevens Creek Boulevard (in lieu of providing cafeteria space for their employees) 8--1 January 8,2007 Cupertino City Council Page 2 . Valko has continuing projects . Expansion of the retail uses at the Oaks Shopping Center, and possibly the addition of a hotel. C. Major Capital Improvement Project (CIP) projects - Public Works Director Ralph Qualls said that there is a $17.3 million CIP budget spreading over 7 years, and the two largest are the Stevens Creek Corridor and the Mary A venue Pedestrian Bridge. D. Reorganization Efforts - Parks and Recreation Director Therese Smith said that her department was down from five supervisors to four, and there are four coordinator vacancies. She would be proposing the creation of a management position between the director and the supervisors, which would serve as a training opportunity for her possible replacement when she retires in 17 months. Community Development Director Steve Piasecki said that the city had been unsuccessful in filling the new position of Redevelopment/Economic Development Manager, mostly because the city's retirement system is no longer competitive with other cities in the county. Piasecki reviewed the plans for the new employee, who will work closely with the planning staff as well as the development community. He handed out a proposed organizational chart, and said the city would recruit for the position again in March. E. Employee Morale Carol Atwood reported that employee morale is very good. The city has been working diligently to provide supervisor training and performance measures, and salary negotiations will begin soon. 2. Public comments. Jennifer Griffin, Cupertino resident, asked that the city purchase property on Sterling and Barnhardt to create a park for the Rancho neighborhood. She also complained about the density at a Santa Clara project called Rivermark, and asked that the Council not allow such density in Cupertino. She also encouraged preservation of the trees and limiting development in the north Vallco area. 3. Council Work Program for 2007 and beyond.
