CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: February 18, 2014
Subject
Consider updates to the City’s Policies and Guidelines on Sister Cities and International
Delegates policy.
Recommended Action
Approve recommended updates to the City’s Policies and Guidelines on Sister Cities and
International Delegates policy.
Discussion
At the November 5, 2013 City Council meeting, staff was asked to report back to
Council regarding our Sister City/International Delegation policy and to survey other
cities as to their commitment levels in this area.
Background
Cupertino has four active sister cities registered with Sister City International, the cities
of Toyokawa, Japan, Hsinchu, Taiwan, Copertino, Italy and Bhubaneswar, India. Two
of those cities, Toyokawa and Hsinchu operate student exchange programs and are
registered 501C(3) non‐profit entities.
Staff modified our current policy (Attachment A) to reflect existing practices, clarify
responsibilities between the City and the non‐for‐profit agencies and reflect inter‐
department responsibilities given the City’s recent re‐organizations. In addition, staff
surveyed the cities in Santa Clara County (SCC) as to their level of involvement in Sister
City/International delegation activities (Attachment B). Our survey found that five of
the fifteen SCC cities interact with Sister City programs. Amounts of their budget and
staff time vary.
Finally, while total expenditures for the Sister Cities Program were not precisely tracked
until FY 2013/2014, it is projected for this fiscal year, program expenses will be
approximately $18,660 including staff time. This includes $2,218 for support of the
adult delegation to Toyokawa which occurs every five years. There have been no
equivalent expenditures for the Hsinchu program. In addition, The City has included
57
$3,000 in the FY 2013/2014 budget for promotional gifts for international delegations,
including those related to sister cities.
Fiscal Impact
The revised policy would limit expenditures for the Sister Cities Program to $5,000 per
year for each sister city that operates a student exchange program. There would be no
additional fiscal impact unless additional sister city student exchange programs are
authorized by City Council in the future.

POLICIES AND GUIDELINES ON SISTER CITIES
FOR THE
CITY OF CUPERTINO
Background:
Presently, Cupertino has two active sister cities registered with Sister Cities International, the cities of
Toyokawa, Japan and Hsinchu, Taiwan.
Intent of Sister City Affiliations:
The city recognizes the value of developing people-to-people contacts as a way to further international
communication and understanding. Sister city partnerships have proved very successful in fostering
educational, technical, economic and cultural exchanges.
Sister city relationships are effective only when organizations of interested residents in one community
work with interested residents in another city to promote communication and understanding among
people of different cultures.
The ideal affiliation should involve a: large number of citizens and organizations in both cities, engaging in
exchanges of people, ideas and cultures on a long-term, continuing basis.
Sister city activities are to be promoted and managed by Sister City Committees and shall not be
dependent upon City contributions. Interested citizen groups are responsible for implementing sister city
programs.
The City intends to provide limited financial support to those Sister City Committees that operate student
exchange programs. Those Sister City organizations which do not operate st udent exchange programs
shall be completely financially independent from the City.Interested citizen groups are responsible for
implementing sister city programs.
Sister City Citizen Committee Responsibilities (Receiving City Support):
□ Identify, manage, coordinate and implement all activities related to the sister city program
□ Establish a formal, incorporated 501 (c) (3) structure, with officers and appropriate functional
subcommittees.
□ Maintain communication with the affiliate sister city committee, ensuring the counterpart
committee is equally committed to the program.
□ Solicit donations and in-kind contributions from the local business community as appropriate.
□ Finance from fundraising efforts and resources other than public funding, all travel and program
expenses beyond reasonable postage, fax, copying and printing costs for events in which the City
is participating. This includes fundraising or securing gifts for special celebrations, such as
anniversaries.
□ Prepare a detailed budget from fundraising efforts other than public (City) funding for events and
activities and keep track of expenses. The budget should show funds available and should
identify adequate, ongoing funding sources for program activities.
59
□ Work with city staff several weeks at least two months in advance in arranging official city
promotional gifts and meetings for foreign delegations. For local groups traveling abroad and
bringing city gifts, similar notice is required.
Meet the following eligibility requirements/annual submittals:
Proof of 501 (c) 3 status
Detailed account of prior year actual revenue and expenses
Summary of prior year activities
Proposed budget plan
Fundraising plan
Work plan
Sister City Citizen Committee Responsibilities (Not Receiving City Support):
□ Identify, manage, coordinate and implement all activities related to the sister city program
□ Maintain communication with the affiliate sister city committee, ensuring the counterpart
committee is equally committed to the program.
□ Solicit donations and in-kind contributions from the local community as appropriate.
City of Cupertino Responsibilities (With regard to City supported Sister City Committees):
Coordinated through the Parks and Recreation Service Department, the City will serve as a support for
programs and activities by:
□ Providing for set-up and complimentary access to a City facility for two community event per
Sister City per fiscal year. All cost of food, drinks, and materials are the responsibility of the
Sister City Committee.
□ Offering city affiliation with official committee for purposes of coverage under ABAG insurance
policy.
□ Accepting gifts from the Sister City. Said gifts are the property of the City and shall be displa yed
at a City facility or distributed at the City’s discretion.
Coordinated through the City Manager’s Office, the City will serve as a support for Sister City programs
and activities by:
□ Providing access to postage, fax, copying and printing equipment to Sister City Committee
members for support for sister city events in which the City is participating. City staff is not
responsible for preparing mailings or printed materials.
□ Providing the use of meeting room space (up to 18 per calendar year) at no cost to the Sister City
Committee for related activities, except for a building attendant for after hour and weekend
meetings. Meeting room space does not include Community Hall or the Quinlan Cupertino
Room.
□ Providing modest official City promotional gift items typically given at community events to
government representatives from visiting countries. These include: city t-shirts, pens, reusable
bags, and lapel pins. The cost of each promotional gift or gift bag shall not exceed $15.
60
Additional gifts presented to members of a Sister City delegation are the responsibility of the
Sister City Committee.
City of Cupertino Responsibilities (With regard to non-City supported Sister City Committees):
The City shall maintain registration with the Sister Cities International organization and shall charge the
Non-City Supported Sister City Committees resident rates on the rental of any City facility.
Travel and Program Expenses:
Program Expenses –
The City Council will, as part of its annual budget adoption process for each fiscal year, to the extent
deemed appropriate or necessary, determined and, establish a program budget for anticipated City
supported Sister City program activities. This adopted budget, less the cost of the Sister City membership
fee, will be remitted to the Committee once an accounting of the prior year expenditures have been
received/reviewed by the Finance Department. These funds represent the City’s sole monetary
commitment each fiscal year with the exception of the items listed above.
· During the course of annual sister city program activities, specific expenditures from funds in the
Adopted Sister Program budget must be approved by the City Council in advance. No disbursements will
be made without approval by the City Council.
Travel Expenses –
Council or City Staff travel for Sister City programs must be funded by Sister City Committee
fundraising activities, or by the individual traveling council or staff member, unless authorized in advance
by the City Council.
New Affiliations:
The city also will not establish a relationship with more than one sister city in the same country and will
have no more than four sister cities at one time.
Future international relationships will involve cities that share characteristics with the city of Cupertino and
demonstrate potential for economic growth and tourism. Generally, these cities should have a strong
educational community component, house numerous high-technology companies or other characteristics
common to the city of Cupertino. New sister city affiliation proposals must show opportunities for
mutually beneficial cultural and educations exchanges and commitment to long-term program support for
a successful ongoing relationship.
To ensure that there is a broad base of community support for a global partnership, the citizen committee
responsible for implementing the sister city program should include at least 20 10 active Cupertino
residents who are committed to making a new affiliation successful. The committee should include
Cupertino residents of different ethnic heritages.
Proposal Process
The new Sister City Committee will prepare and submit the following to the City of Cupertino:
Detailed demographic profile of the prospective city
61
Documentation of broad-based community support, with a minimum of 510 members on the
organizing committee.
A preliminary program plan outlining objectives and funding sources.
If the proposed sister city meets the criteria for a new sister city affiliation and the Sister City Committee
demonstrates success in fundraising to implement the sister city program, staff will prepare a
memorandum regarding a proposed sister city affiliation for the Council’s consideration.If the City
Council adopts a resolution establishing a new Sister City relationship, the City shall register that new
Sister City with Sister Cities International. If the proposed new Sister City Committee desires to operate
a student exchange program and demonstrates that it can meet its responsibilities as a City supported
Sister City Committee, the City shall adjust the budget for the following year to provide for financial
support.
Terminating a Sister City Affiliation
While regrettable, it is sometimes necessary for a city to terminate a sister city affiliation. Sister city
affiliations are meant to be long-standing, official city linkages that involve extensive community
participation beyond government. For a variety of reasons, a sister city relationship may lose community
interest and support, and Cupertino or the sister city may opt to terminate the sister city relationship.
If a sister city affiliation is inactive for a period of three years and there is a lack of community support
for the sister city relationship to continue, the City may initiate the process to terminate the sister city
affiliation with the sister city and Sister Cities International.
INTERNATIONAL DELEGATIONS ___________________________________________________
Background:
Presently, Cupertino attracts many international delegations beyond its sister cities for business and
economic development reasons.
The City recognizes the value of developing people-to-people contacts as a way to further international
communication and understanding.
Delegations must contact city staff at least two months60 days in advance in arranging meetings, unless
waived by the City Manager.
Coordinated through the City Manager’s Office, the City will:
□ Provide City promotional items typically given at community events to government
representatives from visiting countries. These may include: city t-shirts, pens, reusable bags, and
lapel pins. pins, to the extent there remains a budgeted amount to purchase such gifts and
promotional items.
□ Conduct tours of city facilities.
Travel and Program Expenses:
Program Expenses –
62
The City Council will, as part of its annual budget adoption process, establish a program budget for
promotional items for delegations. Promotional gifts or gift bags shall not exceed the cost of $15 each.
Travel Expenses –

by the City Council.
Adopted by Cupertino City Council on September 20, 2005

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: February 18, 2014
Subject
Approval of an agreement for consultant services for the Stevens Creek Boulevard to
McClellan Ranch Preserve Corridor Master Plan.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the following:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a consultant agreement with MIG to
provide services to the City that will result in a comprehensive master plan for
the corridor and associated Environmental Impact Reports (EIR), for an amount
not to exceed $425,000.
2. Appropriate an additional $180,000 to provide for the expanded EIR cost and
alternatives and expanded noticing ($425,000 plus $55,000), for a total budget not
to exceed $480,000.
3. Authorize the City Manager to approve Contact Change Orders (CCO) for Items
1 and 2 above to the extent that total expenditures do not exceed the total amount
of the project budget.
Background
The Capital Improvements Program Budget for FY2013/14 appropriated $300,000 for
the Corridor Master Plan, which included a CEQA initial study technical memo. The
main objectives of the entire process, from data gathering to the culmination of the Plan
itself, was to identify the values of the community, provide a City‐wide vision for
Stevens Creek Boulevard to McClellan Ranch Preserve Corridor, and establish a
strategic direction for delivery of programs.
A consultant selection process was initiated in September 2013 to select a consultant to
provide the professional services necessary to undertake the master plan.
67
Discussion
A Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued on December 11th to firms having specific
experience in preparing park master plans for cities with similar characteristics to
Cupertino in size, demographics or project scope. The City received two RFPs by the
January 6th due date. A four‐person selection panel reviewed and ranked the firms
based on selection criteria and the firms were invited to interview. Interviews were
conducted on January 22nd. The firms were evaluated and ranked based on selection
criteria with MIG having the best overall proposal.
After consultation with the consultant and legal counsel, the proposed scope of work
was expanded to increase the level of CEQA review from an initial study/mitigated
negative declaration to a complete Environmental Impact Report. This will require an
additional budget appropriation of $180,000.
Since it was founded in 1982, MIG, Inc. has focused on planning, designing and
sustaining environments that support human development and active lifestyles. Their
professionals have assisted public, private and nonprofit organizations throughout the
country in projects that protect sensitive resources, enhance community livability,
support revitalization and connect people with places.
If approved, the consultants will start work in February with the scope of the work
projected to be completed within 12 months. The project will be organized into four
phases, and public engagement is incorporated in each phase as follows:
¾ Phase 1: Opportunities and Constraints will result in a detailed analysis that
incorporates technical information, quantitative assessments and feedback from
the community;
¾ Phase 2: Needs Assessment and Alternatives Development includes a citywide
parks and recreation needs assessment using industry best practices, the creation
of a menu of design program elements for the corridor and the development of
different alternative scenarios for the corridor.
¾ Phase 3: Master Plan Development will build the elements of the master plan
one by one, with community, staff and City leader feedback.
¾ Phase 4: Plan Refinement and Adoption includes the preparation and
refinement of the Corridor Master Plan document, the CEQA documentation and
the review and adoption process.
68
Staff recommends that Council approve the agreement with MIG for the Corridor
Master Plan in the amount of $425,000.
Fiscal Impact
The FY2013/14 appropriation for the Corridor Master Plan CIP was originally set at
$300,000. Approval of this project, which includes an expanded EIR, will require an
additional appropriation of $180,000.

The City received proposals from 16 different firms in response to the RFP. Each
proposal was evaluated and the City short‐listed eight firms to be interviewed. The
evaluation criteria included experience, resource availability, technical qualifications,
methodology, quality assurance, conflict of interest, and cost of services. The firms
were interviewed on February 26, 2013. Based upon the evaluation and interviews,
CSG Consultants, Inc. was rated the most qualified to provide professional plan check
services for the corporate auditorium.
Fiscal Impact:
The Development Agreement with Apple Inc. requires Apple Inc. to reimburse the City for
100% of the actual costs of the contract plus 10% of the contract amount for the City’s
administrative and overhead costs. The approximately $42,158 will be deposited into the
Building Division reserve account in the General Fund.

Project Approach
All building plan review including, ADA, code compliance, architectural, plumbing, mechanical, energy
and structural engineering will be conducted by CSG staff and sub-consultants team. The electrical,
mechanical, plumbing and energy conservation aspects will be reviewed by our sub-consultants TTG.
Our staff of licensed structural engineers will also be assisted by A.T. Merovich & Associates in
reviewing seismic and base isolation design related to the structure. All project plan reviews will be
exclusively channeled through our state-of-the-art digital plan review system (GreenVue), expediting
the plan review process as well as eliminating the need for paper submittals. Any paper plans
submitted to CSG will be immediately scanned into digital files and stored on our servers for speedy
access to both the applicants and our plan reviewers. Our plan reviewers furnish electronic versions of
their plan comments conforming to the projects prescribed formats. It is our understanding that all fire
and life safety related issues will be excluded from the scope of our review however fire life safety
issues will have to be coordinated with other elements of the design.
GreenVue allows for complete project tracking and documents the review process in through a web
based system. Applicants have 24/7 access to all plan reviews submitted and performed so status of
any review is immediately known. The system provides automatic email notifications to key parties at

and-forth. Our review staff has the technical support, tools, and technical expertise to review and
coordinate all project reviews at the highest level.

engineering. Specialist areas encompass eleven years of experience in the field of
seismic isolation, and nine years of experience in the field of passive energy
dissipation for seismic structural control. His interest and activities in the field of
seismic isolation began in 1984, with involvement on two full-scale field tests of
isolated bridges in New Zealand. Since then he has been extensively involved in
research activities in the field. These have included more than 15 experimental studies
of the dynamic characteristics of elastomeric seismic isolation bearings, and 4
earthquake simulator studies of the performance of different isolated structures. In
1986 he developed an interest in the field of structural control, and it was in this area,
passive energy dissipation for seismic structural control, that he received his Ph.D. in
1990. His research work involved the earthquake simulator testing and analytical
studies of a large structural frame with two different types of passive damping
systems. He is familiar with various seismic design requirements including the
Uniform Building Code, the SEAOC Blue Book and the New Zealand seismic code.

the amount of $1,575,000, authorizing the City Manager to execute all necessary
documents to complete the acquisition and the lease agreement.
Discussion
In September of 2013, Mr. George Blesch contacted the City to verify the City’s interest
in purchasing his property at 22050 Stevens Creek Boulevard. The 0.64 acre property is
located on the south side of Stevens Creek Boulevard, between the City’s Stocklmeir
property and the Blackberry Farm Golf Course parking lot, on the bank of Stevens
Creek (see attached map). The acquisition of this property will complete the City’s
ownership of the portion of the Stevens Creek corridor from Blackberry Farm to Stevens
Creek Boulevard, which is the subject of a master planning process that will be
beginning this year. City Staff hired Valbridge Property Advisors to appraise the
property. At a City Council closed session meeting held in November of 2013, City
Council directed staff to negotiate a sale price for the purchase of the Blesch’s property.
City staff negotiated a sale price of $1,575,000 with Mr. Blesch and prepared a Purchase
Agreement for the acquisition. The Blesch’s have requested that the City lease back the
property to them until such time that they are able to find a new residence. The initial
term of the lease is to extend from close of escrow until October 1, 2014, and details of
this provision are included as Exhibit D in the agreement. The Blesch’s have accepted
the terms of the Purchase Agreement and have signed as to their intent.
Staff is recommending that City Council approve the agreement and authorize the City
Manager to execute all of the necessary documents to complete the transaction.
114
Fiscal Impact
The Purchase price is $1,575,000. The City’s current Park Dedication funds will be used
for the purchase of the property.
