Senior Planner Piu Ghosh and consultant Veronica Tam reviewed the staff report via
a PowerPoint presentation.
Jennifer Griffin asked Council to be sure to protect the neighborhoods when
rezoning areas to a certain number of housing units.
David Clancy representing the restaurant and retail site next to the Cupertino Post
Office said that they had just become aware of the housing discussions and are
interested in seeing their site built up for higher density and believe they are a good
candidate to be included in the Housing Element.
Barry Watkins representing the Target site (w26) said that he would like that site
changed in the Housing Element from removed (gray) to at least low priority
(yellow).
Robert McKibbin said that Cupertino residents don’t want to see high density
housing. He asked if limiting the size of the bedrooms would lower the footprint
and help with density issues. He also asked who decides what properties are
included on the Housing Element list, Council or the developer. He noted he likes
Alternative A the best and asked if the Environmental Impact Review (EIR) would
address the loss of retail.
Tracy Mugno asked what would be going in at the 5‐acre parcel located on the north
tip of the west side near Vallco.
Cathy Thaler encouraged Council to include as many properties as possible in the
EIR since they could always be excluded afterward. She asked Council to also
include in the EIR a focus on the residential streets that egress onto the Heart of the
City (HOC) areas – Stevens Creek Blvd. and De Anza Blvd. She also asked how
affordable housing fits in to the Housing Element.
City Attorney Carol Korade noted at this point that Alan Wong was withdrawing
his property from the Housing Element area and that Mayor Wong no longer had a
conflict of interest and could rejoin the Council. At 5:06 p.m. Mayor Wong returned
to the dais.
Steve Gazzera owner of the Arya restaurant site on Stevens Creek Blvd. (site 5) said
that he recently received correspondence that his property was in the Housing
Element inventory site list, now recommended for removal. He noted that he was
17
Tuesday, March 4, 2014 Cupertino City Council
possibly interested in keeping the site on the list but would like to discuss the issue
more with Council and staff before make a final decision.
Peggy Griffin said she was concerned about the loss of retail identified on the
Housing Element plan especially since it’s difficult to fight a developer that wants to
put housing on the site if included on the list. She noted that Cupertino residents
want retail. She urged Council to keep the Target and Vallco sites for retail.
Council concurred to add the following parcels to study in the EIR: 5, 6, and all of
the high and moderate parcels as shown in green and orange on the map in the
packet.
Council recessed from 5:50 p.m. to 6:35 p.m.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: March 18, 2014
Subject
Ratify the Memorandum of Understanding to provide Law Enforcement Agency Access
to the California Identification System (CAL‐ID) for a change to the cost allocation
formula.
Recommended Action
Ratify the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for CAL‐ID and authorize the City
Manager to execute the signature addendum and any other necessary documents.
Description
The City currently has an agreement with the County of Santa Clara regarding the
operation of the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) and law
enforcement access to this system. The cost allocation methodology was modified
during 2012 to reflect a more equitable charge to the City based on historical usage.
Discussion
On March 25, 2013 the Cal‐ID Random access Network Board (Cal‐ID RAN) approved
the transfer of the Cal ID operations, equipment and assets to the County. Since that
time, several changes have taken place which effects the allocation between cities in the
pool:
¾ The City of San Jose, which represents the largest number of sworn officers and
highest activity levels in the County, decided to maintain its own latent print
unit while still requiring the ability to retain equipment and access to the AFIS
database for the purposes of registering latent prints and managing San Jose
Police Department cases,
¾ The Sheriff’s Office decided to add approximately the same amount of latent
print submissions, in lieu of having their own in‐house personnel, so that the cost
to the cities would be roughly the same with the San Jose change, and
¾ The County’s Chief Financial Officer agreed to use re‐alignment money to cover
the costs of 10 print bookings (formal verses informal bookings) for all of the
municipalities so the cities will no longer pay these fees.
43
Based on the above changes, a new MOU (Attachment A) has been prepared for each
city to ratify. In addition, the new allocation formula can be found on page 18 of the
SCC Cal ID Program 2013 Annual Report (Attachment B).
Fiscal Impact
Increases our CAL‐ID costs from approximately $5,600/year to a proposed $8,132/year.

NOW, THEREFORE, County and Incorporated Cities hereby agree as follows:
2. PURPOSE
The Cal-ID Program provides participating law enforcement agencies with access to the
computerized fingerprint database AFIS which includes the 10-print function, latent print
identification, mobile identification and the mugshot system.
Livescan devices, used to capture fingerprints taken at the time a person is booked following
arrest, are located at the Office of the Sheriff and each city police department in the County.
The Livescan devices electronically transmit fingerprints obtained during the booking process
1 As provided for in Section 11 B. 1 of the Amended and Restated Agreement to Provide Local Law Enforcement Agency
Access to the California Identification System, 2000
48
5
directly to AFIS. The AFIS computer searches and compares the prints to prints already in the
database. Once local processing is complete, records are electronically sent to the California
Department of Justice (“DOJ”). The DOJ searches and registers these booking prints in their
databases and transmits the prints and records to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”)’s
database.
The AFIS has the ability to identify deceased persons for the Medical Examiner Coroner's
office and persons who have given false information to law enforcement officers about their
identity.
In addition, the CAL-ID Program provides latent print identification services to participating
agencies consistent with priorities outlined in this Agreement. Cal-ID also supports federal,
state and other local agencies with these services.

three (3) year period” will be zero (0) at the time of transfer. The Office of the Sheriff will be
similarly assessed for the unincorporated areas of the County. Usage is defined two ways;
first, based on the percentage of bookings attributable to a given participating agency; second,
based on the percentage of latent fingerprints submitted for analysis by a given participating
agency. The County will continue to contribute AB109 funds for up to half the total cost for 10
print and latent fingerprint services. starting with the costs for the 10-print service The Santa
Clara County Information Services Department will be charged for the usage percentages
attributable to non-participating agencies.

become a party to this Agreement only with the approval of the Local Policy Board. In
addition, new participating agencies may be required to execute an addendum or amendment
to the Agreement by which the new agency agrees to be a party to this Agreement and to be
55
12

greater expenditure by the County after approval of the Local Policy Board, it may be executed

or amendment on behalf of the parties to this Agreement.

Santa Clara County Cal ID Program 2013 Annual Report
Cal ID Program Mission
The mission of the Santa Clara County Cal ID Program is to provide timely, efficient
and quality fingerprint identification services in support of local criminal
investigations, through a countywide system linked to state and national fingerprint
and criminal history databases.

Santa Clara County Cal ID Program 2013 Annual Report
Sheriff’s Identification Unit – (SIU)
The responsibility for the Santa Clara County Cal ID Program was transferred by the
Santa Clara County Random Access Network Board (RAN) to the Office of the
Sheriff, culminating with the physical move, re‐installation and complete
implementation of all Cal ID program operations in the Office of the Sheriff on July 1,
2013. The transfer of this program to the Sheriff’s Office resulted in the creation of
the Sheriff’s Identification Unit (SIU), consisting of a Fingerprint Identification
Director and a team of trained and certified fingerprint identification professionals
and support staff. Together, they are responsible for providing accurate, timely and
complete fingerprint identifications and services to law enforcement agencies.
This report is a summary of the first six months of the Sheriff’s Identification Unit
operation. It includes several program successes and accomplishments, the status of
technology resources employed by the program, statistical information describing
the work completed in the unit, the program’s financial sources and expenses and
historical Cal ID data.

Santa Clara County Cal ID Program 2013 Annual Report
Background
The California Identification System (Cal‐ID) is an automated system maintained by
the California Department of Justice for retaining fingerprint files and identifying
latent fingerprints. Under State law, passed in 1985, (Penal Code § 11112.1 et. Seq.),
local law enforcement agencies were allowed to access this system through direct
access to the State fingerprint data base. The State also appropriated funds, with a
30% required match, to local governments (that met the population threshold defined
in the statute) for the acquisition of the equipment required to deliver these services.
All other costs for implementing and operating local systems became the
responsibility of local governments. Historically and until 1987, the Sheriff’s Office
provided fingerprint identification services for the criminal justice agencies within
the County. However, beginning in 1987 the San Jose Police Department began
providing those services. To be eligible to participate in the statewide program,
counties were required to form a local policy board and in Santa Clara County, this
became the Random Access Network or “RAN” Board. The role of the RAN Board is
to determine the placement of RAN equipment, develop procedures to regulate use
and maintenance for the equipment, subject to the guidelines and procedures of the
California State Department of Justice. Penal Code § 11112.1 specifies that “Each local
board shall be composed of seven members…” as follows:
RAN Board Committee
A member of the Board of Supervisors (currently County Supervisor Mike
Wasserman)
The Sheriff
The District Attorney
The Chief of Police of the Department having the largest number of sworn personnel
A second Chief of Police (currently Los Altos PD Chief Tuck Younis)
A mayor (currently Gilroy Mayor Don Gage)
and, a member at large (currently Los Altos Hills City Manager Carl Cahill)

SJPD Transfer of Cal ID to the Sheriff’s Office
Following extensive planning and preparation, on July 1, 2013 at 04:00 AM the
Sheriff’s Office Transition Team began the move of all CAL‐ID technology
infrastructure including network devices, Automated Fingerprint Identification
System “AFIS” servers, Latent Fingerprint processing devices and computer
peripheral equipment from the City of San Jose Police Department to the Santa Clara
County Sheriff’s Office. The Transition Team consisted of Sheriff’s Office staff, City
of San Jose Information Systems staff and technicians from third party service
providers MorphoTrak and DataWorks. The physical equipment move was
completed and the system was re‐installed and fully functioning by 1:00 PM the
same day. This could not have been accomplished without the support and
cooperation of the SJPD Command Staff.
Sheriff’s Office Information Systems staff upgraded the Sheriff’s Office data center,
provisioned and tested the new Cal‐ID network infrastructure and configuration and
built a parallel Mugshot system that was successfully brought online later on the
same day. This transition was completed entirely seamlessly. The transition was fully
completed with no unanticipated downtime or major issues.

Santa Clara County Cal ID Program 2013 Annual Report
2013 Sheriff’s Identification Unit Highlights
Following the completion of the transfer of the Cal ID program, the SIU worked
closely with all participating law enforcement agencies to develop a prioritized list of
required action items. SIU also provided training to law enforcement agencies to
increase accuracy, improve response times and heighten quality control at the
Livescan stations in an effort to reduce the number of duplicate PFN/Fingerprint
records. Below are some of the more significant proactive steps taken by SIU to
improve the Cal ID program.
System Clean‐up of Duplicate Records
SIU identified early on that a significant number of duplicate records existed in the
fingerprint database. Duplicate records can be the source of significant operational
and identification issues and as a result, SIU determined that removal of the
duplicates would increase the efficiency of searches within the database. SIU met
with third ‐party provider MorphoTrak and worked with them to ensure completion
of a comprehensive database check of more than 870,000 records in the database in
order to identify all of the duplicate records. The check resulted in the identification
of 1,973 duplicate PFN/Fingerprint records. SIU staff consolidated, corrected and
manually re‐scanned many of the duplicate records and worked with MorphoTrak to
be certain all duplicates were systematically removed from the database. SIU
received a letter of absolute assurance from the supplier that the check had been
completed and all duplicates removed. Removal of these duplicate PFNs resulted in
the immediate and direct result of improved accuracy of the identification process,
increased efficiency and particularly the speed with which these identifications are
now completed.
68

Santa Clara County Cal ID Program 2013 Annual Report
Known Offenders – One‐To‐One Search Capability
SIU implemented a one‐to‐one‐rapid‐response comparison when a PFN is entered
into the demographic page of a booking from any Livescan station.
This one‐to‐one search capability enhancement allows AFIS to complete a self‐system
check for print matching accuracy. Further, it allows a rapid response report to the
Livescan operator of the criminal booking. Based on an analysis completed by the
supplier, the outcome of this program enhancement is that it now takes, on average,
only one hundred seconds to receive a response from the system when a PFN is
entered. Previous AFIS engineering required a total system search of approximately
870,000 individuals which often resulted in a much longer standby time at the
booking station.
This program enhancement has been especially helpful with identification of
individuals that have imperfect or damaged skin as a result of pulling each
individual record to the front and comparing all 10 fingers for a conclusive match.

Santa Clara County Cal ID Program 2013 Annual Report
Quality Control Training
Prior to the transition of the Cal ID Program to the Sheriff’s Office, SIU met with all
law enforcement agencies, county‐wide, to provide training targeted at improving
the quality of prints submitted by agencies when they book arrested persons.
Improving the quality of prints obtained during the booking process has the direct
and immediate effect of reducing the amount of time required for a Livescan
operator to book a person.
Additionally, SIU created and distributed quality control posters for use at Livescan
booking stations. The posters included several images of Livescan prints that
illustrate good quality prints, contrasted with prints of lesser quality. The intent of
the posters is to elevate visually the importance of quality control as well as to
provide clear examples for Livescan operators to follow. The posters have been
distributed for posting at or near the booking stations and Livescan stations at all law
enforcement agencies and each of the County Jail facility Livescan stations.
Before After

Santa Clara County Cal ID Program 2013 Annual Report
Improved AFIS Quality Control
After completing on‐site training with each law enforcement agency, SIU was able to
change the criteria settings at all Livescan stations to contemporaneously prompt an
officer during the Livescan portion of the booking process to correct a print capture
which was poorly “rolled” or taken out of sequence.
The ultimate goals of improving the Livescan print collection process are to increase
the accuracy of stored 10‐print IDs, thereby improving the quality of top 10 candidate
returns for the un‐solved latent database.
Increased Search Criteria
AFIS internal selection and matching criteria was increased from four fingerprints to
the best of six in order to increase the accuracy of matching an arrestee at time of
booking to an existing fingerprint record.

Santa Clara County Cal ID Program 2013 Annual Report
Purged Out Of Statute Unsolved Cases For Improved Efficiency
SIU reduced the database of unsolved latent fingerprints after consulting with lead
detectives at all agencies to eliminate cases that have fallen outside the statute of
limitations. The database was reduced by nearly one‐half from approximately 48,082
prints to 23,329 prints. This reduction has greatly improved the overall performance
of the system, reducing search time and presenting a better top 10 candidate list.
72

Santa Clara County Cal ID Program 2013 Annual Report
Evidence Submission Standardization
A universal latent evidence envelope was created and provided to all contributing
law enforcement agencies for the purpose of maintaining consistency and chain of
custody until the case is adjudicated or returned to the contributing agency for
disposition.

Mobile ID
In the spring of 2013, all Mobile ID devices were updated to accommodate the new,
more stringent Department Of Justice (DOJ) advanced authentication requirements.
After the change was implemented, it required nearly every mobile ID user to have
their credentials updated. Since taking on the program on July 1, 2013, the Sheriff’s
Office has updated 489 Mobile ID accounts in order to allow officers to once again
use Mobile ID devices. Approximately 736 existing Mobile ID accounts remain to be
updated.
In FY 2014, we will be working to upgrade the current Mobile ID infrastructure to a
more streamlined architecture within a virtual machine environment and will
commence an outreach phase to connect with County agencies. The objective will be
to gain a better understanding of their mobile ID needs in light of the rapidly
changing landscape of technology.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: March 18, 2014
Subject
Authorize the addition of a new position category and change the title of two positions
in the salary schedule for Unrepresented Employees’ Compensation Program
Recommended Action
Amend the Unrepresented Employees’ Compensation Program and salary
schedule.
Description
The City has identified modifications needed to the Unrepresented Employees’
Compensation Program and salary schedule which sets forth all positions
established for that group.
Discussion
Periodically, staffing levels within the organization are reviewed to ensure
resources are in place for desired service levels, identify areas of service
enhancement and accommodate staffing requirements in conjunction with new
programs or reorganizations. Staff performed a review of the functions in the City
Manager’s Office and recommends a new classification, Assistant City Manager‐
Community Development and Strategic Planning. No new full time permanent
positions are being requested.
Finance and Human Resources Director Study
In the past the Finance and Human Resources Director positions had been classified as
Finance and Human Resources Managers. In 2004 the classifications were changed to
Director, this was a title change only, with no changes to the salary schedule. Most
recently, in conjunction with the recruitment process for the Finance Director position,
the City studied various classifications at surrounding agencies. The results of the
study were that at most comparison agencies a Director classification was reserved for a
92
Department Head level position. Staff charged with supervision and operations of a
division of a department were classified as Division Managers.
Staff recommends changing the classification titles of both the Finance and Human
Resources Director positions to Finance Manager and Human Resources Manager.
Neither of the current Director positions is filled with a permanent employee. This
change will better reflect the duties and responsibilities of these positions as division
managers and not department heads.
Assistant City Manager
Recent changes to the City’s workload, driven by increased work in the area of long
range development activity and strategic planning have prompted the City Manager’s
Department to review the need for an Assistant City Manager position. This new
classification would serve as the Director of Planning and Community Development in
addition to being assigned inter‐departmental strategic planning and other assigned
divisions and programs. Identifying a single senior executive responsible for overseeing
and coordinating these projects will ensure that they achieve organizational expectations
of quality, consistency and public participation.
The reclassification of the Director of Community Development to Assistant City
Manager‐Community Development and Strategic Planning will allow the utilization of an
existing position with the necessary experience to coordinate these key projects consistent
with organizational goals and without an increase in personnel. The reclassification in
November 2014, of the City Planner position to Assistant Director of Community
Development in charge of Current Planning and Code Enforcement functions allows the
Director of Community Development to assume these new duties.
The City reviewed several Assistant City Manager classifications throughout Santa
Clara County and found the City of Morgan Hill’s description to be most relevant in
summarizing the duties of this new the position:
“Under general administrative direction of the City Manager, the Assistant City
Manager plans, directs, manages, and oversees the activities and operations of the
Community Development Department including Development Services, Housing,
Strategic Planning and Economic Development. Provides policy guidance and
coordinates the activities of assigned divisions, programs and services. “
A salary survey was conduct to develop the salary range for this new classification
based on the methodology that is consistent with that used in the employee
93
compensation survey done this year in preparation for the current Memorandums of
Understanding (MOUs).
Fiscal Impact
There will be no additional costs associated with the change of the classification titles of
the Finance Director and the Human Resources Director. The City Manager’s budget
will be able to absorb the projected additional costs associated with the new Assistant
City Manager classification of $13,000 for fiscal year 2013‐14 within budgeted
appropriations and no budget adjustment is requested. Annual costs related to this new
classification are estimated at $40,000 for fiscal year 2014‐15.

UNREPRESENTED EMPLOYEES’COMPENSATION PROGRAM
Policy No. 3
TRAINING AND CONFERENCES
I. POLICY
A. Management Personnel
It is City of Cupertino policy that eligible persons under this Compensation Program shall
be reimbursed or receive advances in accordance with the schedules, terms and conditions
as set forth herein for attendance at conferences, meetings and training sessions as defined
below for each. It is the intent of this policy to encourage the continuing education and
awareness of said persons in the technical improvements and innovations in their fields of
endeavor as they apply to the City or to implement a City approved strategy for attracting
and retaining businesses in the City. One means of implementing this encouragement is
through a formal reimbursement and advance schedule for authorized attendance at such
conferences, meetings and training sessions.
B. Non-Management Personnel
When authorized by their supervisor, a non-management person may attend a conference,
meeting or training session subject to the stated terms and conditions included herein for
each with payment toward or reimbursement of certain expenses incurred as defined
below for each.
II DEFINITIONS
A. Conferences
A conference is an annual meeting of a work related organization the membership of which
may be held in the name of the City or the individual.
B. Local Area
The local area is defined to be within Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties and within a 40-
mile distance from Cupertino when traveling to Alameda County.
C. Meetings
4
99
A “meeting” shall mean a convention, conference, seminar, workshop, meal, or like
assembly having to do with municipal government operations. An employee serving on a
panel for interviews of job applicants shall not come under this definition.
D. Training Session
A training session is any type of seminar or workshop the attendance at which is for the
purpose of obtaining information of a work related nature to benefit the City’s operations
or to enhance the attendee’s capabilities in the discharge of assigned duties and
responsibilities.
III REIMBURSEMENT AND ADVANCE PAYMENT SCHEDULE
A. Intent
This schedule is written with the intent that the employee will make every effort to find the
lowest possible cost to the City for traveling on City business. For example, if paying for
parking at the airport is less expensive that paying for a taxi or airport shuttle, then the
employee should drive their car and park at the airport; or if renting a car is lower than
taking taxis at the out-of-town location, then a car should be rented; or air reservations
should be booked in advance to obtain discounted fares. The following procedures apply
whether the expense is being paid through a reimbursement or a direct advance.
B. Registration
Registration fees for authorized attendance at a meeting or training session will be paid by
the City.
C. Transportation
The City will pay transportation costs on the basis of the lowest cost intent stated in
paragraph A. Eligible transportation costs include airfare (with coach fare being the
maximum), van or taxi service to and from the attendee’s home and airport, destination or
airport parking charges, taxi and shuttle services at the out-of-town location, trains, tolls, or
rental cars. Use of a personal automobile for City business shall be reimbursed or advanced
at the rate per mile in effect for such use, except in no case shall it exceed air coach fare if
the vehicle is being used for getting to the destination. Government or group rates offered
by a provider of transportation must be used when available.
Reimbursement or advances for use of a personal automobile on City business within a
local area will not be made so as to supplement that already being paid to those persons
receiving a monthly mileage allowance.
D. Lodging
5
100
Hotel or lodging expenses of the employee resulting from the authorized event or activity
defined in this policy will be reimbursed or advanced if the lodging and event occurs
outside of the local area. Not covered will be lodging expenses related to person(s) who are
accompanying the City member, but who themselves are not on City business. In this
instance, for example, the difference between single and multiple occupancy rates for a
room will not be reimbursed.
Where the lodging is in connection with a conference or other organized educational
activity, City-paid lodging costs shall not exceed the maximum group rate published by the
conference or activity sponsor, providing that lodging at the group rate is available at the
time of booking. If the group rate at the conference hotel is not available, then the non-
conference lodging policy described in the next paragraph should be followed to find
another comparable hotel.
Where lodging is necessary for an activity that is not related to a conference or other
organized educational activity, reimbursement or advances shall be limited to the actual
cost of the room at a group or government rate. In the event that a group or government
rate is not available, lodging rates that do not exceed the median price for lodging for that
area and time period listed on travel websites like www.hotels.com, www.expedia.com or
an equivalent service shall be eligible for reimbursement or advancement.
E. Meals
1. With No Conference
Payments toward or reimbursement of meals related to authorized activities or events
shall be at the Internal Revenue Service per diem rate for meals and incidental expenses
for a given location, as stated by IRS publications 463 and 1542 and by the U.S. General
Services Administration. The per diem shall be split among meals as reasonably
desired and reduced accordingly for less than full travel days. If per diem is claimed, no
receipts are necessary. Alternatively, the actual cost of a meal can be claimed, within a
standard of reasonableness, but receipts must be kept and submitted for the expense
incurred.
2. As Part of a Conference
When City personnel are attending a conference or other organized educational
activity, they shall be reimbursed or advanced for meals not provided by the activity,
on a per diem or actual cost basis. The per diem and actual cost rate shall follow the
rules described in the meals with no conference paragraph.
F. Other Expenses
Payments toward or reimbursement of expenses at such functions shall be limited to the
actual costs consistent with the application of reasonable standards.
6
101
Other reasonable expenses related to business purposes shall be paid consistent with this
policy.
No payments shall be made unless, where available, receipts are kept and submitted for all
expenses incurred. When receipts are not available, qualifying expenditures shall be
reimbursed upon signing of an affidavit of expenditure.
No payment shall be made for any expenses incurred which are of a personal nature or not
within a standard of reasonableness for the situation as may be defined by the Finance
Department.
G. Non-Reimbursable Expenses
The City will not reimburse or advance payment toward expenses including, but not
limited to:
1. The personal portion of any trip;
2. Political or charitable contributions or events;
3. Family expenses, including those of a partner when accompanying the employee on
City-related business, as well as child or pet-related expenses;
4. Entertainment expenses, including theatre, shows, movies, sporting events, golf, spa
treatments, etc.

6. Service club meals; of those besides economic development staff;

sessions, will be appropriated annually through the budget process.

request for an advance should be submitted to their supervisor no less than seven days
prior to the need for the advance with the following information: 1) Purpose of the

AUTOMOBILE ALLOWANCES AND
MILEAGE REIMBURSEMENTS

however, that such a condition of employment should work an undue hardship. For this
reason, the following policies shall apply for mileage reimbursements.
Those persons who occasionally are required to use their personal automobiles for City
business shall be reimbursed for such use at an appropriate rate established by the City
Council. Submission of reimbursement requests must be approved by the Department Head.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: March 18th, 2014
Subject
Approval of a professional services contract to complete the City’s first Climate Action
Plan (CAP).
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the following:
1. Approve the scope of work for the Climate Action Plan (Attachment A – Exhibit A);
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a consultant agreement with AECOM to
provide services to the City that will result in a Bay Area Air Quality Management
District‐Qualified CAP for an amount not to exceed $67,091. (Attachment A – Draft
Contract with AECOM/MIG for the Climate Action Plan); and
3. Authorize the City Manager to approve Contract Change Orders (CCO) for the CAP
contract to the extent that total expenditures do not exceed the total amount of the
project budget of $100,000.
Background
Local governments in California have developed CAPs in conjunction with a General
Plan update to address regulatory requirements stemming from the California Global
Warming Solutions Act, AB32. As of September 2012, Over 80% of cities in Santa Clara,
San Mateo, and Alameda Counties have drafted or adopted Climate Action Plans. This
saturation level has been accelerated by new Bay Area Air Quality Management District
(BAAQMD) California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines for a Qualified
Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategy, required to evaluate air quality impacts of Bay
Area projects. Climate Action Plans (CAPs) provide a blueprint for cities and
community members to respond to the sources of and challenges posed by climate
change by outlining a menu of actions for an agency to reduce both its operational and
community greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).
141
In 2012, Santa Clara County (SCC) secured grant funding, and also allocated funding
itself, to complete a cooperative CAP exercise for the following jurisdictions and the
unincorporated County: the Cities of Campbell, Gilroy, Cupertino, Gilroy, Morgan Hill,
Los Altos Hills, Mountain View, and San José. The goal of the Santa Clara County (SCC)
CAP Project is to complete 2010 community and municipal GHG inventories for all
participating agencies and facilitate the creation of customized CAPs, through which
agencies can establish GHG mitigation targets and measures and identify related
emissions reduction collaboration opportunities.
As a participating jurisdiction, Cupertino worked with SCC and its allied agencies to
achieve the following goals in the Council’s Work Program for FY11/12, FY12/13, and
FY13/14:
• Update its 2005 government and community GHG emissions inventories – this work
has since been completed.
• Complete strategies identified in Section 5, Environmental Resources/Sustainability
of the General Plan.
• Adopt a Climate Action Plan, as outlined in the Council Work Program (§ 10).
• Develop a comprehensive plan that consolidates and institutionalizes the City’s core
sustainability strategies, processes and actions into a document that enables the
agency to quantify its GHG emissions on an ongoing basis.
• Address CEQA Guidelines for developing a Qualified Greenhouse Gas Reduction
Strategy, as required for the City’s forthcoming General Plan Amendment.
• Potentially reduce municipal operating expenses and help residents and businesses
save money through coordinated, strategic programs and policies that lead to
increased efficiency.
• Access free CAP consulting services estimated at ~$50,000 per participating agency.
Discussion
The City is currently working with the selected Santa Clara County‐funded consultant
(AECOM) to develop its CAP, but the countywide scope does not include community
engagement or Environmental Review for participating jurisdictions, efforts required to
secure a Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD)‐Qualified CAP.
Creating a BAAQMD‐qualified CAP will enable streamlined review of future
community development projects (e.g. the ongoing General Plan Amendment, Housing
Element) consistent with State CEQA Guidelines.
142
Scope of Work
The City will run its CAP process in parallel with General Plan Amendment and
Housing Element. If approved, project will begin in March 2014 and will be completed
by the close of the calendar year (approximately nine months). The project will be
organized into the following phases, detailed more thoroughly in Attachment A,
Exhibit A (Consultant Scope of Work) and Attachment A, Exhibits C and D (Consultant
Schedules):
• Community Engagement. To build consensus and support of proposed CAP emissions
reduction measures, AECOM (technical expert) and MIG (community outreach lead)
will facilitate the following community engagement activities:
o Facilitate Workshops
Facilitating discussions and helping develop an understanding of the
community’s needs and vision and determine how the City’s CAP can
best realize this vision; and
Assessing acceptable alternatives to be evaluated in the City’s
Customized CAPs
o Online Engagement (website)
o Focus Groups and/or Stakeholder Interviews ‐ meetings with neighborhood
groups, citizen groups, the Chamber of Commerce, local businesses, local
developers and builders.
• Measure Revision – Cupertino’s CAP measures, developed through the collaborative
SCC‐process, will be modified to incorporate preliminary community
recommendations, prior to the Council’s decision.
• Environmental Review
Consultant Selection
A Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued on November 15, 2014 to firms having
specific experience in preparing Climate Action Plans and leading community outreach
for cities with similar characteristics to Cupertino in size, demographics or project
scope. The City received six RFPs. Firms were reviewed and ranked the firms based on
the following selection criteria and four of the firms were invited to interview.
• Firm’s experience
• Qualifications of the project team
• Firm’s understanding of the project and the City
143
• Firm’s approach and methodology
• Cost
As a result of the selection and interview process, AECOM is recommended as the
prime contractor, with MIG serving as a subcontractor to lead community outreach and
engagement.
Fiscal Impact
The consultant Scope of Work and Budget include both baseline and optional tasks. To
complete the baseline tasks of (1) hosting workshops (2) revising measures and (3)
preparing the CEQA Initial Study/Negative Declaration will cost the City $67,091.
Additional tasks, including hosting an online engagement tool and additional focus
group meetings will cost an additional cost to the City of $32,875 for a total contract
amount not to exceed $99,966 (see Attachment A, Exhibit B – Climate Action Plan
Budget). The FY2013/14 mid‐year budget adjustment appropriation for the Climate
Action Plan includes funding in the amount of $100,000 for the project.

EXHIBIT A
AECOM and MIG Scope of Work
Task 0 – Project Management
Task 0A – Project Kickoff
AECOM will host a project kickoff meeting via conference call to review the project
schedule, roles, and responsibilities. We will prepare a kickoff meeting agenda, facilitate
the meeting, and prepare a meeting summary. One MIG staff member will attend the
kick-off meeting to gather information that will be used to inform the community
engagement efforts and coordinate with the city and GPA team.
AECOM assumes that the city will invite city staff and arrange for a meeting room from
which city staff can participate in the conference call.
AECOM Deliverables:
Attendance during kick-off meeting
Meeting agenda and conference call/WebEx number
Meeting summary
MIG Deliverables:
Attendance at kick-off meeting
Review and comments on draft meeting summary
Task 0B – Team Coordination
AECOM will host bi-weekly conference calls to keep the city’s point of contact up to date
on project progress. We assume 15 twice-monthly calls of 30-minutes each, with the
option to cancel or extend meetings as necessary. The twice-monthly check-in calls will
be used to discuss progress on specific tasks, planning for the community engagement
workshops, review of comments received, and preparation for Planning Commission
and/or City Council meetings, among other topics.
We also assume there is a need for three one-hour conference calls with city staff,
AECOM staff, and MIG to discuss the content and structure of the two workshops.
While we understand that the city would like MIG to facilitate the workshops, the
workshop content and exercises will be developed through a collaborative process. This
will help to ensure that technical information is represented appropriately and that
opportunities for public engagement are designed to solicit meaningful comments from
community members.
AECOM will incorporate digital meeting platforms, such as WebEx, into calls as
necessary to share work documents in real time. We will provide a conference number
or WebEx login information prior to each meeting.
156
MIG will also participate in regular coordination calls with city staff, AECOM, and other
relevant partners (such as the GPA Team) as needed. The goal of these meetings is to
build an understanding of the work products being prepared by AECOM for the
purposes of CAP community engagement and to coordinate effectively with other city
planning and outreach processes, avoiding any redundancies in scope and identifying
opportunities for collaboration. MIG will also prepare monthly invoices with brief
progress reports including budget updates.
AECOM Deliverables:
Participate in conference calls
MIG Deliverables:
Participation in conference calls
Monthly invoices and progress reports, provided as pdf and in hard copy
Task 1 – Cupertino CAP Community Engagement
Task 1A – Visioning Workshop & Goal-Setting Workshop
AECOM has worked closely with city staff to identify existing and planned actions that
contribute to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions from a communitywide and
local government operations (LGO) perspective. While an extensive list of best
management practices in emissions reductions has been considered as part of the CAP
process, community input may suggest new ideas or indicate preferences for
implementation priorities. We understand that the city would like MIG to facilitate the
community workshops described as part of Task 1A. However, to ensure that the
comments solicited are meaningful to the communitywide CAP process, AECOM will
play a supporting role in development and implementation of the two workshops.
AECOM assumes that the public outreach process described herein only applies to
development of the communitywide CAP. Task 2 includes a scope for measure
revisions associated with the local government operations (LGO) CAP.
The MIG Team will lead the two community workshops to gather public and stakeholder
input into the city’s communitywide CAP. Both will be facilitated by Chris Beynon and
supported by team members from MIG, AECOM, and the City of Cupertino to provide a
depth of policy and technical expertise. In advance of the workshops, MIG will provide a
PowerPoint template in which AECOM will develop the draft workshop presentations.
MIG will also develop promotional materials and a brief outreach strategy for each
workshop to encourage participation from a broad cross-section of residents and
interest groups. MIG will, in collaboration with city staff, consider ways to leverage other
community workshops and engagement efforts to build interest and encourage
participation. This could involve holding joint workshops with other planning processes,
holding the workshop immediately before a City Council or Planning Commission
meeting, or co-sponsoring the workshop with a community-based organization.
We assume the city will handle all workshop logistics (e.g., venue selection, room
layout, AV set-up, refreshments, sign-in sheets). MIG will develop and provide room set-
157
up diagrams, sign-in sheets, facilitator or staff guides for interactive exercises, and final
electronic workshop materials for city staff to print. MIG will also coordinate with the city
to agree upon a set of promotional materials to encourage attendance at the
workshops, building on the city’s existing communication tools including the city’s GPA
website and e-mail notificaiton systems. MIG will develop workshop advertisements.
This may include press releases, e-blasts, flyers and stakeholder outreach); AECOM
will provide input on press release content and help develop content for workshop flyers
and notices; MIG will prepare final materials based on AECOM input. City staff will be
responsible for printing and distributing promotional materials and inviting stakeholders.
AECOM will provide one Workshop Summary Report for each workshop, including
scanned copies of sign-in sheets, summaries of comments and feedback collected
during the workshop, and a list of comments/feedback that we believe would inform
direct changes to the draft CAP measures. MIG and the city will provide comments on
the draft summary reports prior to AECOM preparing the final summary reports. MIG
and city staff will also provide AECOM with copies of workshop sign-in sheets and all
notes/comments collected during the workshops (either hardcopies or electronic
versions). The list of feedback directing document changes will be combined with similar
feedback received through Optional Task 1B and Optional Task 1C (should those tasks
be included), and submitted to the city as the Recommended Changes Memorandum
described in Task 2.
Workshop #1
AECOM, MIG, and the city will work together to develop a strategy for Workshop #1. As
the CAP’s technical experts, AECOM will present an overview of the city’s
communitywide CAP to date and its role in the Santa Clara County Regional CAP
project, describe the primary components of the CAP, and explain why the city is
preparing this plan. The presentation will also describe how emissions reduction targets
are selected, what targets other Bay Area jurisdictions have adopted, and what
Cupertino’s target should be.
Following this brief formal presentation, the workshop would shift to a facilitated
conversation or engagement exercise led by MIG. The MIG Team will lead facilitated
small group discussions that solicit input and ideas for a city-wide vision that supports
climate action and sustainability. MIG and AECOM staff will manage the conversation to
encourage identification of highest-priority city needs and suggestions for ways the CAP
can contribute to realizing the vision. MIG Team members, AECOM staff, and city staff
will also act as resources for technical and policy questions and will record notes from
the conversation. Meeting participants will also be encouraged to provide written input
using comment cards.
One AECOM team member will attend Workshop #1 to support the MIG Team, and to
give the introductory presentation, answer technical questions, and help take notes
during the facilitated portion of the workshop. In addition to the meeting summary
prepared by AECOM, the MIG Team will develop a memo outlining “lessons learned”
from the first workshop to help inform the second workshop promotion and planning.

wallgraphic recordings or flip chart notes
Draft and Final Power Point presentation
Meeting supplies, including sign-in sheets, handouts and comment cards
Memo outlining lessons learned
Workshop #2
The second public workshop will build upon community input gathered during the first
workshop, and help participants explore what it will take to achieve the city’s reduction
target. The meeting will include a brief introduction outlining the CAP process and
providing a summary of input received at the first workshop. The majority of the
workshop will be spent on large- or small-group interactive exercises. AECOM will work
with MIG and city staff to develop exercises that allow participants to provide focused
feedback and direction to project staff. This could include prioritization or ranking
exercises and/or the use of electronic keypad polling. The workshop may also include
breakout stations representing the five primary emissions reduction sectors (i.e.,
Energy, Transportation, Solid Waste, Water, and Green Infrastructure).
The MIG Team will facilitate the chosen workshop exercise(s). Prior to the workshop,
MIG will provide AECOM with a workshop board template in which to place the draft
technical content (i.e., text and graphics) that will accompany the workshop exercise.
MIG will review and finalize the presentation boards, and print hardcopies for display at
the workshop. It is likely that presentation boards will illustrate emissions attributed to
the various sectors, examples of past city actions and successes within the sectors, and
the draft measures being considered for inclusion in the CAP.
AECOM, MIG, and city staff will act as resources for technical and policy questions and
will record notes from the conversations. Meeting participants will also be encouraged to
provide written input using comment cards. Project staff will provide information on next
steps in the CAP process and how to comment on the CEQA documents.
One AECOM team member will attend the Visioning Workshop to make any
introductory presentation about the CAP process, answer technical questions during the
workshop exercise(s), and help in taking notes.
AECOM Deliverables:
Draft PowerPoint Presentation (including one revision)

wallgraphic recordings or flip chart notes
Optional Task 1B – Online Engagement
MIG would lead the development of an online engagement approach, should the city
decide to include one in the project. MIG recommends augmenting the CAP community
engagement efforts by creating an online information hub and survey tool. If approved
by the City of Cupertino, MIG will design and develop an online engagement program to
encourage and facilitate additional community participation in the Cupertino CAP
development process. The program will include a project webpage than can be linked
from the city’s website and/or the MIG TownSquare site prepared for the GPA (similar to
the Housing Element).
AECOM will support MIG in developing content for an online engagement platform,
including provision of text and graphics that can be posted online. We assume the
online content will be based on the same information prepared for the community
workshop presentations and workshop boards. We envision the content would support
the goal setting and greenhouse gas reduction measure development objectives of the
two community workshops described in Task 1A.
MIG will also develop an online survey using existing tools such as Survey Monkey,
MetroQuest or Civinomics. Given the need to have public input into the draft CAP by
April, we recommend using one of these tools rather than developing a custom app or
interactive tool. These tools are flexible and adaptable enough to meet the needs of the
CAP project in an efficient manner. MIG will manage the online tools and coordinate any
outside vendors and prepare the summary of findings. MIG will provide AECOM with a
written summary of comments solicited through the website no later than one week after
the second workshop. This will allow AECOM to incorporate online comments into the
final list of CAP measures and proceed with environmental review document
preparation.
The costs below do not include MIG’s labor for content development and coordination.
Online Tool Options
MIG will work with the city and AECOM to select an appropriate online
engagement tool. Options we recommend for consideration include:
160
1. MetroQuest
MetroQuest is an online community engagement platform for planning projects. It
is a flexible and cost-effective way to collect informed input from the public and
stakeholders using a simple interface that can be accessed online and integrated
into the CAP website. It can also be used in kiosks and at workshops. The
vendor fee for Metroquest is $12,000.
2. Civinomics
Civinomics is a web-based engagement program that offers online surveys as
well as a low-cost in-person 5-7 minute iPad surveys. Surveys can be designed
for statistical significance and iPad surveys offer an excellent opportunity to
capture. Four hundred in-person surveys with a concurrent online survey could
be conducted for less than $10,000.
3. SurveyMonkey
SurveyMonkey is a simple, low-cost questionnaire tool that can be set up quickly
and easily (though it offers less customization than some other tools). The City of
Cupertino has an established SurveyMonkey account for its GPA process which
can be used for this purpose, so no additional fees will be incurred.
4. Mapita
The Mapita system provides a robust and user-friendly way for the public to
provide specific, place-based input that can be linked to the GIS data and base
maps. This is an open access online survey tool with a vendor fee of $5,000.
AECOM Deliverables:
Conference call with MIG, city to discuss online engagement options and strategy
Draft text/graphic content (JPG, Word, PDF)
Input on questions to be included in online engagement tool
MIG Deliverables:
Meeting with AECOM and city to discuss online engagement options and strategy
Draft (Word) and Final (pdf) Online Engagement Plan Memorandum
Draft and Final Webpage Design and Development (Photoshop, HTML, CSS, Flash)
Draft and Final Survey Tool Content and Design (format to be determined)
Draft (Word) and Final (pdf) Summary of Findings
Optional Task 1C – Focus Groups and/or Stakeholder Interviews
If approved, MIG will plan and facilitate up to five additional small group meetings with
key stakeholders to explore issues and identify CAP measures that have community
support. MIG will work with AECOM and the city to develop targeted questions and
meeting agendas and facilitate these sessions. The city will be responsible for
identifying and inviting stakeholders (in consultation with MIG), securing meeting
locations, and providing any printed materials needed for these meetings.
AECOM will provide one staff member to attend these meetings (up to five), make any
required technical presentations, answer CAP-specific questions, and take notes.
AECOM will also provide one summary report that documents comments received
161
during each meeting for incorporation into the Recommended Changes Memorandum
described in Task 2. AECOM will prepare a draft (Word) summary report for review and
comment by MIG and the city, prior to preparing a final (PDF) report. As with the
Optional Task 1B, we assume these optional meetings would occur prior to the
conclusion of the second community workshop in order to incorporate comments into
the revised list of CAP measures.
AECOM Deliverables:
Draft interview questions
Focus Group/Stakeholder summary report draft (Word) and Final (PDF)
MIG Deliverables:
Draft (Word) and Final (pdf) interview questions
Facilitation and recording of up to five small group discussions
ADDITIONAL MEETINGS
The above scope of work does not include MIG attendance or contribution to any
Planning Commission or City Council study sessions or hearings. Additional meetings
or hearings will be attended upon request at cost of time and materials, approximately
$1,800 per meeting.
Task 2 – Community Input-Based Measure Revisions to SCC Draft CAP
AECOM is preparing an Administrative Review Draft, Public Review Draft, and Final
CAP as part of the SCC CAP contract. That contract also includes preparation of up to
two PowerPoint presentations for the city to use during their CAP adoption hearings, but
does not include AECOM’s attendance at those meetings. Given our intimate
knowledge of how the draft measures have been prepared to date, and our
understanding of the opportunities and caveats for developing additional measures in
Cupertino, our CAP team is uniquely qualified to efficiently move from the Task 1
community engagement activities into the Administrative Draft CAP revisions. Our work
proposal for Task 2 addresses development of additional CAP measures, or revising
those included in the Draft Administrative CAP, as a result of community and
stakeholder input described in Task 1; making adjustments to emissions reduction
quantifications as a result of the community-based input; revising the city’s GHG
emissions reduction target as a result of the Goal-Setting Workshop; and, attending up
to two Planning Commission and/or City Council meetings where we would present the
PowerPoint presentations prepared under the SCC CAP contract and address the ways
community and stakeholder feedback was integrated into the plan.
Following completion of the community engagement activities described in Task 1,
AECOM will review the two Workshop Summary Reports and compile the list of
changes to the draft CAP measures that were recommended by workshop participants.
If optional Tasks 1B and/or 1C are included in this scope of work, the list of
recommended changes resulting from those engagement opportunities will be
combined with those in the Workshop Summary Reports. AECOM will submit one
162
memorandum summarizing recommended changes resulting from all of the community
engagement activities. We assume city staff will review the memorandum and provide
one consolidated list of changes to the draft CAP for AECOM to make. Because we
have already worked so closely with the city to identify emissions reduction
opportunities, we assume the nature of the comments will primarily focus on revising, or
developing additional, implementing actions rather than development of brand new
measures. We assume comments would result in the development of no more than five
new CAP measures, with their associated implementing actions and quantified GHG
emissions reduction estimates (where possible).
In addition to communitywide CAP measure changes or additions resulting from the
community workshops (and the optional outreach tasks), AECOM assumes that City
Council may direct changes or additions to the preliminary list of LGO CAP measures
prepared under the SCC CAP contract. AECOM assumes that up to five additional LGO
CAP measures could be developed, quantified, and incorporated into the Public Review
Draft LGO CAP as part of this contract, following receipt of City Council comments.
AECOM also assumes that the draft LGO CAP measures will not be presented for
community input as part of Task 1 described above.
Upon receipt of the city’s consolidated list of changes, AECOM will make revisions to
the Administrative Draft CAP measure text, implementing actions, and quantifications of
GHG reductions estimates, as necessary. This final list of measures will be used to
complete the CAP environmental review document, as described in Task 3. If directed,
AECOM will also revise the city’s GHG emissions target and calculations demonstrating
the city’s estimated progress towards the target throughout the document. AECOM will
provide an Administrative Draft Revisions Memorandum documenting the before and
after text to show where changes have been made to the Administrative Draft CAP as a
result of community and stakeholder input.
Following incorporation of all city-directed revisions into the Administrative Draft CAP,
AECOM will submit a revised Administrative Draft CAP to the city for review and
comment. We assume the city will provide one consolidated set of comments and
revisions, which AECOM will incorporate to produce the Public Review Draft CAP. As
noted above, preparation of a Public Review Draft CAP is included within AECOM’s
scope of work under the SCC CAP contract. Therefore, we have only included a Public
Review Draft CAP deliverable within this proposal to cover the marginal additional effort
required to produce that document as a result of additional or substantially revised
measures or a change in GHG reduction target. AECOM will submit an electronic copy
of the Public Review Draft CAP to the city for their distribution to the public and other
interested parties. AECOM will also email an electronic version of the Public Review
CAP to the Bay Area Air Quality Management District for their review and comment.
AECOM assumes that comments related to the content of the Public Review Draft CAP
and resulting revisions will be addressed as part of the SCC CAP contract.
As noted above, AECOM will provide up to two PowerPoint presentations for use at
Planning Commission and/or City Council meetings as part of the SCC CAP contract.
We understand that the city would like the contracted consulted to attend up to two such
meetings where they will present the public comments received and demonstrate how
163
they were addressed within the Public Review Draft. Since we are preparing the CAP
document as well, we assume one AECOM staff member would attend each meeting
(up to 2) and give a presentation that describes the overall contents of the CAP, as well
as how community and stakeholder input was integrated into the plan.

Task 3 – Environmental Review
As part of the SCC CAP work, AECOM is preparing materials to assist the participating
jurisdictions with the environmental review for their individual CAPs. AECOM is currently
preparing three documents for this purpose:
164
• Template Initial Study (IS) intended to provide the framework for CEQA analysis
of the CAP and guidance on CEQA compliance for CAPs based on our extensive
experience;
• Impact tables to provide discussions of impacts that could potentially arise from
the selected CAP measures, conceptual discussion supporting findings of no
impact where appropriate, and sample relevant language that each jurisdiction
can use to tailor for each reduction measure; and
• Mitigation approaches where potential impacts are identified, including sample
mitigation measures and post-mitigation statements of significance.
We recommend the CEQA process start after preparation of the Administrative Draft
CAP with a Draft IS/ MND available for public comment at the same time as the public
review Draft CAP. We assume that revisions to the Draft Initial Study / MND in response
to public comments on either the Draft CAP or IS/MND will not substantially affect the
CEQA analysis and documentation. AECOM assumes that we will prepare a single
IS/MND to cover the communitywide and LGO CAP Measures as a single, interrelated
program. We assume that this document will provide a program level of analysis; some
measures, especially LGO measures, may be implemented through future actions
which will require analysis at a project level once detailed, specific descriptions of these
projects are available.
To initiate the CEQA process, AECOM will attend one teleconference to discuss the
strategy for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance. We will review
roles, responsibilities, expectations, and the desired schedule for this effort. We will
make any necessary revisions to our scope of work following this meeting.
Based on the city’s direction in this teleconference, AECOM will review the final list of
Cupertino’s CAP measures (both communitywide and LGO) against the impact analysis
described above to identify measures that have the potential to generate adverse
environmental impacts. We will also conduct additional impact analysis on any new
measures developed as a result of the CAP community engagement, as described
under Task 1, as well as new LGO measures resulting from City Council input as
described under Task 2. We will customize the project description and environmental
setting provided in the template environmental documents, as necessary, to reflect
unique aspects of Cupertino’s context that pertain to environmental effects. AECOM will
populate the template IS using the impact discussions provided in the impact tables,
customizing these descriptions for Cupertino. Where impacts have been identified,
AECOM will recommend mitigation measures and characterize impacts after the
application of mitigation. For impacts where mitigation is necessary, we will review
existing regulations, such as those in the City’s Municipal Code, mitigating policies and
strategies from the General Plan, and applicable standard mitigation measures to
determine applicability to the CAP. In particular, policies and strategies from Section 5
of the City’s General Plan, “Environmental Resources/Sustainability,” could be used
directly or revised for use as mitigation for CAP measures. Since the city is in the midst
of a General Plan Update, we assume any settings information can come from
background reports prepared to support this effort. Based on our experience, we also
165
assume that the Initial Study will not require any technical reports to support our
conclusions (for example, air quality, noise, transportation, hydrology, geotechnical,
etc.).
We will prepare for the city’s review one administrative draft Environmental Initial Study
and Negative Declaration (Mitigated Negative Declaration, if necessary). After
incorporating revisions, we will prepare a Notice of Completion & Environmental
Document Transmittal and hand deliver with the Public Review Draft IS document to the
State Clearinghouse to initiate the public review period. We will provide the City with
electronic versions of these documents for local distribution. We recommend distribution
at the same time to the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, other responsible
agencies, and local stakeholders and interested parties.
We will review with city staff public and agency comments received on the
Environmental Initial Study and participate in one teleconference to discuss comments.
We will provide the city with responses to comments and revisions to the Initial Study for
review and revision. Revisions to the CAP to address comments received from the
BAAQMD are included in Task 2 of this proposal. We assume that any changes that are
necessary will not require any new analysis or reorganization of the document. This
scope of work and budget assumes that up to 30 hours may be required for responses
to comments and revisions to the public review draft Initial Study. We will prepare one
final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration to be used by the city in adoption
proceedings. We assume city staff can provide text related to CEQA findings. We will
prepare a Notice of Determination and hand deliver the notice to the State
Clearinghouse. We assume the city will file the notice with the County Clerk’s office.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: March 18, 2014
Subject
Cupertino Water Conservation.
Recommended Action
Accept Staff Presentation.
Discussion
Santa Clara County had the driest year on record in 2013. As of March 5th, the lack of
rain received indicates that 2014 will be our third consecutive critically dry year.
Conditions are similar statewide, prompting Governor Brown to declare a drought
emergency and to ask all Californians to voluntarily reduce their water use by 20%. The
Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD) is the wholesaler of water to San Jose Water
Company (SJWC) and California Water Company (CWC), the retailers serving the City
of Cupertino. Both SJWC and CWC are urging customers to voluntarily curtail water
use by at least 20%. With rain received at approximately 40% of normal levels and the
winter rain season coming to a close, these voluntary water conservation efforts might
be the only way to avoid possible mandatory rationing in the future.
The California Department of Water Resources requires water providers to have an
Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP). For a UWMP to be complete, a water
shortage contingency plan must be included. The contingency plan for the SCVWD is
modeled upon estimated groundwater reserves that occurred during the driest three
years on record (1988‐90). The SCVWD is currently in stage three of a five stage action
plan. Stage three is titled “severe,” stage four “critical” and stage five “emergency.”
Stage three sets up to a 20% water demand reduction and stage four is a 40% reduction,
with fines for repeated violations. Stage five addresses a crisis such as an earthquake
and sets up to a 50% reduction for health and safety needs. SJWC and CWC have
similar contingency plans tailored for the retail customer. Water conservation
requirements in excess of 20% may include, but are not limited to, watering lawns every
other day and limiting water for swimming pools, fountains and ponds. Details of these
plans, characterization of water use at City facilities and long‐standing water
conservation efforts to date will be included in staff’s presentation.

GOVERNOR BROWN DECLARES DROUGHT STATE OF EMERGENCY
1-17-2014
SAN FRANCISCO – With California facing water shortfalls in the driest year in recorded state history, Governor
Edmund G. Brown Jr. today proclaimed a State of Emergency and directed state officials to take all necessary
actions to prepare for these drought conditions.
“We can’t make it rain, but we can be much better prepared for the terrible consequences that California’s
drought now threatens, including dramatically less water for our farms and communities and increased fires in
both urban and rural areas,” said Governor Brown. “I’ve declared this emergency and I’m calling all Californians
to conserve water in every way possible.”
In the State of Emergency declaration, Governor Brown directed state officials to assist farmers and
communities that are economically impacted by dry conditions and to ensure the state can respond if
Californians face drinking water shortages. The Governor also directed state agencies to use less water and
hire more firefighters and initiated a greatly expanded water conservation public awareness campaign (details
at saveourh2o.org).
In addition, the proclamation gives state water officials more flexibility to manage supply throughout California
under drought conditions.
State water officials say that California’s river and reservoirs are below their record lows. Manual and electronic
readings record the snowpack’s statewide water content at about 20 percent of normal average for this time of
year.
The Governor’s drought State of Emergency follows a series of actions the administration has taken to ensure
that California is prepared for record dry conditions. In May 2013, Governor Brown issued an Executive Order
to direct state water officials to expedite the review and processing of voluntary transfers of water and water
rights. In December, the Governor formed a Drought Task Force to review expected water allocations,
California’s preparedness for water scarcity and whether conditions merit a drought declaration. Earlier this
week, the Governor toured the Central Valley and spoke with growers and others impacted by California’s
record dry conditions.

A PROCLAMATION OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY
WHEREAS the State of California is experiencing record dry conditions, with 2014 projected to become the
driest year on record; and
WHEREAS the state’s water supplies have dipped to alarming levels, indicated by: snowpack in California’s
mountains is approximately 20 percent of the normal average for this date; California’s largest water reservoirs
have very low water levels for this time of year; California’s major river systems, including the Sacramento and
San Joaquin rivers, have significantly reduced surface water flows; and groundwater levels throughout the state
have dropped significantly; and
WHEREAS dry conditions and lack of precipitation present urgent problems: drinking water supplies are at risk
in many California communities; fewer crops can be cultivated and farmers’ long-term investments are put at
risk; low-income communities heavily dependent on agricultural employment will suffer heightened
unemployment and economic hardship; animals and plants that rely on California’s rivers, including many
species in danger of extinction, will be threatened; and the risk of wildfires across the state is greatly increased;
and
WHEREAS extremely dry conditions have persisted since 2012 and may continue beyond this year and more
regularly into the future, based on scientific projections regarding the impact of climate change on California’s
snowpack; and
WHEREAS the magnitude of the severe drought conditions presents threats beyond the control of the services,
personnel, equipment and facilities of any single local government and require the combined forces of a mutual
aid region or regions to combat; and
WHEREAS under the provisions of section 8558(b) of the California Government Code, I find that conditions of
extreme peril to the safety of persons and property exist in California due to water shortage and drought
conditions with which local authority is unable to cope.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, EDMUND G. BROWN JR., Governor of the State of California, in accordance with the
authority vested in me by the state Constitution and statutes, including the California Emergency Services Act,
and in particular, section 8625 of the California Government Code HEREBY PROCLAIM A STATE OF
EMERGENCY to exist in the State of California due to current drought conditions.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
1.State agencies, led by the Department of Water Resources, will execute a statewide water conservation
campaign to make all Californians aware of the drought and encourage personal actions to reduce water
usage. This campaign will be built on the existing Save Our Water campaign (www.saveourh20.org) and will
coordinate with local water agencies. This campaign will call on Californians to reduce their water usage by 20
percent.
2.Local urban water suppliers and municipalities are called upon to implement their local water shortage
contingency plans immediately in order to avoid or forestall outright restrictions that could become necessary
later in the drought season. Local water agencies should also update their legally required urban and
agricultural water management plans, which help plan for extended drought conditions. The Department of
Water Resources will make the status of these updates publicly available.
3.State agencies, led by the Department of General Services, will immediately implement water use reduction
193
plans for all state facilities. These plans will include immediate water conservation actions, and a moratorium
will be placed on new, non-essential landscaping projects at state facilities and on state highways and roads.
4.The Department of Water Resources and the State Water Resources Control Board (Water Board) will
expedite the processing of water transfers, as called for in Executive Order B-21-13. Voluntary water transfers
from one water right holder to another enables water to flow where it is needed most.
5.The Water Board will immediately consider petitions requesting consolidation of the places of use of the State
Water Project and Federal Central Valley Project, which would streamline water transfers and exchanges
between water users within the areas of these two major water projects.
6.The Department of Water Resources and the Water Board will accelerate funding for water supply
enhancement projects that can break ground this year and will explore if any existing unspent funds can be
repurposed to enable near-term water conservation projects.
7.The Water Board will put water right holders throughout the state on notice that they may be directed to
cease or reduce water diversions based on water shortages.
8.The Water Board will consider modifying requirements for reservoir releases or diversion limitations, where
existing requirements were established to implement a water quality control plan. These changes would enable
water to be conserved upstream later in the year to protect cold water pools for salmon and steelhead, maintain
water supply, and improve water quality.
9.The Department of Water Resources and the Water Board will take actions necessary to make water
immediately available, and, for purposes of carrying out directives 5 and 8, Water Code section 13247 and
Division 13 (commencing with section 21000) of the Public Resources Code and regulations adopted pursuant
to that Division are suspended on the basis that strict compliance with them will prevent, hinder, or delay the
mitigation of the effects of the emergency. Department of Water Resources and the Water Board shall maintain
on their websites a list of the activities or approvals for which these provisions are suspended.
10. The state’s Drinking Water Program will work with local agencies to identify communities that may run out
of drinking water, and will provide technical and financial assistance to help these communities address
drinking water shortages. It will also identify emergency interconnections that exist among the state’s public
water systems that can help these threatened communities.
11.The Department of Water Resources will evaluate changing groundwater levels, land subsidence, and
agricultural land fallowing as the drought persists and will provide a public update by April 30 that identifies
groundwater basins with water shortages and details gaps in groundwater monitoring.
12.The Department of Water Resources will work with counties to help ensure that well drillers submit required
groundwater well logs for newly constructed and deepened wells in a timely manner and the Office of
Emergency Services will work with local authorities to enable early notice of areas experiencing problems with
residential groundwater sources.
13.The California Department of Food and Agriculture will launch a one-stop website
(www.cdfa.ca.gov/drought) that provides timely updates on the drought and connects farmers to state and
federal programs that they can access during the drought.
14.The Department of Fish and Wildlife will evaluate and manage the changing impacts of drought on
threatened and endangered species and species of special concern, and develop contingency plans for state
Wildlife Areas and Ecological Reserves to manage reduced water resources in the public interest.
15. The Department of Fish and Wildlife will work with the Fish and Game Commission, using the best
available science, to determine whether restricting fishing in certain areas will become necessary and prudent
as drought conditions persist.
16.The Department of Water Resources will take necessary actions to protect water quality and water supply in
the Delta, including installation of temporary barriers or temporary water supply connections as needed, and
will coordinate with the Department of Fish and Wildlife to minimize impacts to affected aquatic species.
194
17.The Department of Water Resources will refine its seasonal climate forecasting and drought prediction by
advancing new methodologies piloted in 2013.
18.The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection will hire additional seasonal firefighters to
suppress wildfires and take other needed actions to protect public safety during this time of elevated fire risk.
19.The state’s Drought Task Force will immediately develop a plan that can be executed as needed to provide
emergency food supplies, financial assistance, and unemployment services in communities that suffer high
levels of unemployment from the drought.
20.The Drought Task Force will monitor drought impacts on a daily basis and will advise me of subsequent
actions that should be taken if drought conditions worsen.
I FURTHER DIRECT that as soon as hereafter possible, this Proclamation be filed in the Office of the
Secretary of State and that widespread publicity and notice be given of this Proclamation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of California to
be affixed this 17th day of January, 2014.

Worsening water supply conditions prompt call for
20 percent water reduction target
Contact: Marty Grimes
Office: 408-630-2881
Mobile: 408-202-4398
Date: February 25, 2014
SAN JOSE – In consideration of the worsening water supply outlook for Santa Clara County, the Santa Clara Valley
Water District Board of Directors unanimously passed a resolution Tuesday night calling for mandatory measures to
reach a water use reduction target equal to 20 percent of 2013 water use, through Dec. 31, 2014.
Retail water agencies, local municipalities and the county of Santa Clara are recommended to implement mandatory
measures as needed to achieve the 20 percent water use reduction target.
Residents and businesses can expect over the next few weeks for their local water provider or municipality to begin
implementing measures to reach the 20 percent target. The water district, as a wholesale provider, relies on retailer
water agencies, local municipalities and the county to enact and implement local ordinances and water use reduction
measures.
In addition, the board of directors voted to establish a Board of Directors’ Ad Hoc Water Conservation Committee to
discuss the implementation of actions to achieve the district’s water use reduction targets. Board Chair Tony
Estremera and directors Richard Santos and Brian Schmidt were appointed to the committee.
On Jan. 28, the water district board set a preliminary water use reduction target equal to 10 percent of 2013 county-
wide water use, based on the district’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan. Since that time, water supply conditions
have not improved, and the extent of water supply and operational challenges is becoming clearer.
Due to continued dry local weather conditions, local reservoir levels remain very low, at only 33 percent of capacity.
Furthermore, the lack of rain has resulted in less water naturally replenishing the groundwater basin.
The most significant change since late January, however, is the announced allocations of imported water from the
state and federal water projects. On Jan. 31, the state Department of Water Resources reduced its initial allocation
from 5 percent of the district’s contract amount to zero. This impacts the district’s ability to transfer water that has
been stored underground near Bakersfield.
On Feb. 21, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation announced that the water district’s agricultural allocation is at zero, and
the municipal and industrial allocation is 50 percent of historic use, which the district expects to amount to 65,000
acre-feet. The district’s maximum contract allocation from the federal Central Valley Project is 152,500 acre-feet out
of an annual water demand of 365,000 acre-feet.
A priority of the district is continued delivery of safe, clean water from its treatment plants. With little local reservoir
storage, the district’s three treatment plants will depend largely on limited supplies of imported water. Imported water
typically provides more than 85 percent of the supply for the water district’s three water treatment plants, and in dry
and critically dry years when local surface water is limited, up to 99 percent of treated drinking water is from imported
196
water sources. With less fresh water flowing through the Delta, salinity levels have increased in this imported water
supply and are expected to be higher through the year. The district is working with retail water agencies to maintain
drinking water quality.
Algae blooms often grow, especially during the warm summer months, in the Delta and in San Luis Reservoir. Algae
cause taste and odor issues in drinking water, but can be minimized through additional treatment.
Also, to ensure that the supply is available for the treatment plants, the district has begun augmenting storage in
Anderson Reservoir with imported water. This action will help ensure that there is sufficient water to supply treatment
plants through the year.
The board’s call for a 20 percent mandatory water use reduction is consistent with the district’s Water Shortage
Contingency Plan, a component of the district’s 10-year Urban Water Management Plan. The plan calls for the board
to consider a reduction in water use of up to 20 percent when the county’s groundwater supplies are projected to drop
below 250,000 acre-feet by the end of the calendar year. Currently, the district projects that groundwater storage will
drop to 205,300 acre-feet by year’s end, unless the community reaches the 20 percent short-term water reduction
target.
Local reservoirs have dropped to 49 percent of their 20-year average. Reservoir releases to creeks and percolation
ponds for groundwater replenishment have been minimized. In order to conserve the limited supplies of imported
water needed for the treatment plants, nearly all releases of imported water to creeks and groundwater recharge
ponds were discontinued at the end of January, with the exception of releases to Madrone Channel in the South
County and upper Coyote Creek.
As groundwater recharge ponds and creeks begin to dry, the district expects resident fish populations to be impacted.
Reducing groundwater recharge operations also accelerates the rate at which groundwater supplies are depleted.
Programs and conservations tips can be found on our Water Conservation web pages, and at save20gallons.org.
Below is the text of the Board resolution:
CALLING FOR 20 PERCENT WATER USE REDUCTION THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2014
WHEREAS, in California, water is a precious and limited resource that must be used wisely; and
WHEREAS, calendar year 2013 was the driest year on record and 2014 is projected to be critically dry as well; and
WHEREAS, on January 17, 2014, Governor Brown proclaimed a Drought State of Emergency, calling on local urban
water suppliers and municipalities to implement their local water shortage contingency plans immediately and calling
on all Californians to reduce their water usage by 20 percent; and
WHEREAS, Santa Clara County relies on water supply imported by the State Water Project and Central Valley
Project to provide treated drinking water, replenish the local groundwater basin and prevent the return of historic
overdraft and land surface subsidence that could damage Bay-front levees and other critical infrastructure in northern
Santa Clara County; and
197
WHEREAS, in 2014, State Water Project allocations have been reduced to zero percent of contract quantity, Central
Valley Project water allocations for agricultural use are also at zero percent, and Central Valley Project water
allocations for municipal and industrial uses are 50 percent of historic use to support public health and safety; and
WHEREAS, a priority of the Santa Clara Valley Water District (District) is continued delivery of safe, clean drinking
water from its treatment plants, and the lack of precipitation and depleted storage in State and federal reservoirs has
caused poor water quality conditions in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and low storage levels in San Luis
Reservoir that may limit or interrupt treatment plant supplies; and
WHEREAS, local watershed runoff has been extremely low this winter, and the District’s ability to augment reservoir
storage with imported water is limited because of California Department of Water Resources Division of Dam Safety
requirements; and
WHEREAS, through careful water management, Santa Clara County groundwater reserves at the start of 2014 were
well within the normal range, but these reserves are projected to drop significantly by the end of 2014; and
WHEREAS, the District must maintain sufficient local surface and groundwater reserve supplies to cope with supply
interruptions from natural disasters and catastrophic events such as earthquake; and
WHEREAS, the District's Urban Water Management Plan, Water Shortage Contingency Plan guides the District's

GOVERNOR BROWN DECLARES DROUGHT STATE OF EMERGENCY
1-17-2014
SAN FRANCISCO – With California facing water shortfalls in the driest year in recorded state history, Governor
Edmund G. Brown Jr. today proclaimed a State of Emergency and directed state officials to take all necessary
actions to prepare for these drought conditions.
“We can’t make it rain, but we can be much better prepared for the terrible consequences that California’s
drought now threatens, including dramatically less water for our farms and communities and increased fires in
both urban and rural areas,” said Governor Brown. “I’ve declared this emergency and I’m calling all Californians
to conserve water in every way possible.”
In the State of Emergency declaration, Governor Brown directed state officials to assist farmers and
communities that are economically impacted by dry conditions and to ensure the state can respond if
Californians face drinking water shortages. The Governor also directed state agencies to use less water and
hire more firefighters and initiated a greatly expanded water conservation public awareness campaign (details
at saveourh2o.org).
In addition, the proclamation gives state water officials more flexibility to manage supply throughout California
under drought conditions.
State water officials say that California’s river and reservoirs are below their record lows. Manual and electronic
readings record the snowpack’s statewide water content at about 20 percent of normal average for this time of
year.
The Governor’s drought State of Emergency follows a series of actions the administration has taken to ensure
that California is prepared for record dry conditions. In May 2013, Governor Brown issued an Executive Order
to direct state water officials to expedite the review and processing of voluntary transfers of water and water
rights. In December, the Governor formed a Drought Task Force to review expected water allocations,
California’s preparedness for water scarcity and whether conditions merit a drought declaration. Earlier this
week, the Governor toured the Central Valley and spoke with growers and others impacted by California’s
record dry conditions.

A PROCLAMATION OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY
WHEREAS the State of California is experiencing record dry conditions, with 2014 projected to become the
driest year on record; and
WHEREAS the state’s water supplies have dipped to alarming levels, indicated by: snowpack in California’s
mountains is approximately 20 percent of the normal average for this date; California’s largest water reser voirs
have very low water levels for this time of year; California’s major river systems, including the Sacramento and
San Joaquin rivers, have significantly reduced surface water flows; and groundwater levels throughout the state
have dropped significantly; and
WHEREAS dry conditions and lack of precipitation present urgent problems: drinking water supplies are at risk
in many California communities; fewer crops can be cultivated and farmers’ long-term investments are put at
risk; low-income communities heavily dependent on agricultural employment will suffer heightened
unemployment and economic hardship; animals and plants that rely on California’s rivers, including many
species in danger of extinction, will be threatened; and the risk of wildfires across the state is greatly increased;
and
WHEREAS extremely dry conditions have persisted since 2012 and may continue beyond this year and more
regularly into the future, based on scientific projections regarding the impact of climate change on California’s
snowpack; and
WHEREAS the magnitude of the severe drought conditions presents threats beyond the control of the services,
personnel, equipment and facilities of any single local government and require the combined forces of a mutual
aid region or regions to combat; and
WHEREAS under the provisions of section 8558(b) of the California Government Code, I find that conditions of
extreme peril to the safety of persons and property exist in California due to water shortage and drought
conditions with which local authority is unable to cope.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, EDMUND G. BROWN JR., Governor of the State of California, in accordance with the
authority vested in me by the state Constitution and statutes, including the California Emergency Services Act,
and in particular, section 8625 of the California Government Code HEREBY PROCLAIM A STATE OF
EMERGENCY to exist in the State of California due to current drought conditions.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
1.State agencies, led by the Department of Water Resources, will execute a statewide water conservation
campaign to make all Californians aware of the drought and encourage personal actions to reduce water
usage. This campaign will be built on the existing Save Our Water campaign (www.saveourh20.org) and will
coordinate with local water agencies. This campaign will call on Californians to reduce their water usage by 20
percent.
2.Local urban water suppliers and municipalities are called upon to implement their local water shortage
contingency plans immediately in order to avoid or forestall outright restrictions that could become necessary
later in the drought season. Local water agencies should also update their legally required urban and
agricultural water management plans, which help plan for extended drought conditions. The Department of
Water Resources will make the status of these updates publicly available.
3.State agencies, led by the Department of General Services, will immediately implement water use reduction
200
plans for all state facilities. These plans will include immediate water conservation actions, and a moratorium
will be placed on new, non-essential landscaping projects at state facilities and on state highways and roads.
4.The Department of Water Resources and the State Water Resources Control Board (Water Board) will
expedite the processing of water transfers, as called for in Executive Order B-21-13. Voluntary water transfers
from one water right holder to another enables water to flow where it is needed most.
5.The Water Board will immediately consider petitions requesting consolidation of the places of use of the State
Water Project and Federal Central Valley Project, which would streamline water transfers and exchanges
between water users within the areas of these two major water projects.
6.The Department of Water Resources and the Water Board will accelerate funding for water supply
enhancement projects that can break ground this year and will explore if any existing unspent funds can be
repurposed to enable near-term water conservation projects.
7.The Water Board will put water right holders throughout the state on notice that they may be directed to
cease or reduce water diversions based on water shortages.
8.The Water Board will consider modifying requirements for reservoir releases or diversion limitations, where
existing requirements were established to implement a water quality control plan. These changes would enable
water to be conserved upstream later in the year to protect cold water pools f or salmon and steelhead, maintain
water supply, and improve water quality.
9.The Department of Water Resources and the Water Board will take actions necessary to make water
immediately available, and, for purposes of carrying out directives 5 and 8, Water Code section 13247 and
Division 13 (commencing with section 21000) of the Public Resources Code and regulations adopted pursuant
to that Division are suspended on the basis that strict compliance with them will prevent, hinder, or delay the
mitigation of the effects of the emergency. Department of Water Resources and the Water Board shall maintain
on their websites a list of the activities or approvals for which these provisions are suspended.
10. The state’s Drinking Water Program will work with local agencies to identify communities that may run out
of drinking water, and will provide technical and financial assistance to help these communities address
drinking water shortages. It will also identify emergency interconnections that exist among the state’s public
water systems that can help these threatened communities.
11.The Department of Water Resources will evaluate changing groundwater levels, land subsidence, and
agricultural land fallowing as the drought persists and will provide a public update by April 30 that identifies
groundwater basins with water shortages and details gaps in groundwater monitoring.
12.The Department of Water Resources will work with counties to help ensure that well drillers submit required
groundwater well logs for newly constructed and deepened wells in a timely manner and the Office of
Emergency Services will work with local authorities to enable early notice of areas experiencing problems with
residential groundwater sources.
13.The California Department of Food and Agriculture will launch a one-stop website
(www.cdfa.ca.gov/drought) that provides timely updates on the drought and connects farmers to state and
federal programs that they can access during the drought.
14.The Department of Fish and Wildlife will evaluate and manage the changing impacts of drought on
threatened and endangered species and species of special concern, and develop contingency plans for state
Wildlife Areas and Ecological Reserves to manage reduced water resources in the public interest.
15. The Department of Fish and Wildlife will work with the Fish and Game Commission, using the best
available science, to determine whether restricting fishing in certain areas will become necessary and prudent
as drought conditions persist.
16.The Department of Water Resources will take necessary actions to protect water quality and water supply in
the Delta, including installation of temporary barriers or temporary water supply connections as needed, and
will coordinate with the Department of Fish and Wildlife to minimize impacts to affected aquatic species.
201
17.The Department of Water Resources will refine its seasonal climate forecasting and drought prediction by
advancing new methodologies piloted in 2013.
18.The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection will hire additional seasonal firefighters to
suppress wildfires and take other needed actions to protect public safety during this time of elevated fire risk.
19.The state’s Drought Task Force will immediately develop a plan that can be executed as needed to provide
emergency food supplies, financial assistance, and unemployment services in communities that suffer high
levels of unemployment from the drought.
20.The Drought Task Force will monitor drought impacts on a daily basis and will advise me of subsequent
actions that should be taken if drought conditions worsen.
I FURTHER DIRECT that as soon as hereafter possible, this Proclamation be filed in the Office of the
Secretary of State and that widespread publicity and notice be given of this Proclamation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of California to
be affixed this 17th day of January, 2014.

Worsening water supply conditions prompt call for
20 percent water reduction target
Contact: Marty Grimes
Office: 408-630-2881
Mobile: 408-202-4398
Date: February 25, 2014
SAN JOSE – In consideration of the worsening water supply outlook for Santa Clara County, the Santa Clara Valley
Water District Board of Directors unanimously passed a resolution Tuesday night calling for mandatory measures to
reach a water use reduction target equal to 20 percent of 2013 water use, through Dec. 31, 2014.
Retail water agencies, local municipalities and the county of Santa Clara are recommended to implement mandatory
measures as needed to achieve the 20 percent water use reduction target.
Residents and businesses can expect over the next few weeks for their local water provider or municipality to begin
implementing measures to reach the 20 percent target. The water district, as a wholesale provider, relies on retailer
water agencies, local municipalities and the county to enact and implement local ordinances and water use reduction
measures.
In addition, the board of directors voted to establish a Board of Directors’ Ad Hoc Water Conservation Committee to
discuss the implementation of actions to achieve the district’s water use reduction targets. Board Chair Tony
Estremera and directors Richard Santos and Brian Schmidt were appointed to the committee.
On Jan. 28, the water district board set a preliminary water use reduction target equal to 10 percent of 2013 county-
wide water use, based on the district’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan. Since that time, water supply conditions
have not improved, and the extent of water supply and operational challenges is becoming clearer.
Due to continued dry local weather conditions, local reservoir levels remain very low, at only 33 percent of capacity.
Furthermore, the lack of rain has resulted in less water naturally replenishing the groundwater basin.
The most significant change since late January, however, is the announced allocations of imported water from the
state and federal water projects. On Jan. 31, the state Department of Water Resources reduced its initial allocation
from 5 percent of the district’s contract amount to zero. This impacts the district’s ability to transfer water that has
been stored underground near Bakersfield.
On Feb. 21, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation announced that the water district’s agricultural allocation is at zero, and
the municipal and industrial allocation is 50 percent of historic use, which the district expects to amount to 65,000
acre-feet. The district’s maximum contract allocation from the federal Central Valley Project is 152,500 acre -feet out
of an annual water demand of 365,000 acre-feet.
A priority of the district is continued delivery of safe, clean water from its treatment plants. With little local reservoir
storage, the district’s three treatment plants will depend largely on limited supplies of imported water. Imported water
typically provides more than 85 percent of the supply for the water district’s three water treatment plants, and in dry
and critically dry years when local surface water is limited, up to 99 percent of treated drinking water is from imported

water sources. With less fresh water flowing through the Delta, salinity levels have increased in this imported water
supply and are expected to be higher through the year. The district is working with retail water agencies to maintain
drinking water quality.
Algae blooms often grow, especially during the warm summer months, in the Delta and in San Luis Reservoir. Algae
cause taste and odor issues in drinking water, but can be minimized through additional treatment.
Also, to ensure that the supply is available for the treatment plants, the district has begun augmenting storage in
Anderson Reservoir with imported water. This action will help ensure that there is sufficient water to supply treatment
plants through the year.
The board’s call for a 20 percent mandatory water use reduction is consistent with the district’s Water Shortage
Contingency Plan, a component of the district’s 10-year Urban Water Management Plan. The plan calls for the board
to consider a reduction in water use of up to 20 percent when the county’s groundwater supplies are projec ted to drop
below 250,000 acre-feet by the end of the calendar year. Currently, the district projects that groundwater storage will
drop to 205,300 acre-feet by year’s end, unless the community reaches the 20 percent short -term water reduction
target.
Local reservoirs have dropped to 49 percent of their 20-year average. Reservoir releases to creeks and percolation
ponds for groundwater replenishment have been minimized. In order to conserve the limited supplies of imported
water needed for the treatment plants, nearly all releases of imported water to creeks and groundwater recharge
ponds were discontinued at the end of January, with the exception of releases to Madrone Channel in the South
County and upper Coyote Creek.
As groundwater recharge ponds and creeks begin to dry, the district expects resident fish populations to be impacted.
Reducing groundwater recharge operations also accelerates the rate at which groundwater supplies are depleted.
Programs and conservations tips can be found on our Water Conservation web pages, and at save20gallons.org.
Below is the text of the Board resolution:
CALLING FOR 20 PERCENT WATER USE REDUCTION THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2014
WHEREAS, in California, water is a precious and limited resource that must be used wisely; and
WHEREAS, calendar year 2013 was the driest year on record and 2014 is projected to be critically dry as well; and
WHEREAS, on January 17, 2014, Governor Brown proclaimed a Drought State of Emergency, calling on local urban
water suppliers and municipalities to implement their local water shortage contingency plans immediately and calling
on all Californians to reduce their water usage by 20 percent; and
WHEREAS, Santa Clara County relies on water supply imported by the State Water Project and Central Valley
Project to provide treated drinking water, replenish the local groundwater basin and prevent the return of historic
overdraft and land surface subsidence that could damage Bay-front levees and other critical infrastructure in northern
Santa Clara County; and
204
WHEREAS, in 2014, State Water Project allocations have been reduced to zero percent of contract quantity, Central
Valley Project water allocations for agricultural use are also at zero percent, and Central Valley Project water
allocations for municipal and industrial uses are 50 percent of historic use to support public health and safety; and
WHEREAS, a priority of the Santa Clara Valley Water District (District) is continued delivery of safe, clean drinking
water from its treatment plants, and the lack of precipitation and depleted storage in State and federal reservoirs has
caused poor water quality conditions in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and low storage levels in San Luis
Reservoir that may limit or interrupt treatment plant supplies; and
WHEREAS, local watershed runoff has been extremely low this winter, and the District’s ability to augment reservoir
storage with imported water is limited because of California Department of Water Resources Division of Dam Safety
requirements; and
WHEREAS, through careful water management, Santa Clara County groundwater reserves at the start of 2014 were
well within the normal range, but these reserves are projected to drop significantly by the end of 2014; and
WHEREAS, the District must maintain sufficient local surface and groundwater reserve supplies to cope with supply
interruptions from natural disasters and catastrophic events such as earthquake; and
WHEREAS, the District's Urban Water Management Plan, Water Shortage Contingency Plan guides the District's
water supply management actions for supply augmentation, increased water use reduction measures, and the use of
local reserve supplies; and
WHEREAS, the District through coordination with retail water agencies, local municipalities and the County of Santa
Clara is increasing public outreach and education to create greater awareness of countywide water supply challenges
and need for efficient water use; and
WHEREAS, the District must rely on the actions of the retail water agencies, local municipalities and the County of
Santa Clara to enact and implement local ordinances and water use reduction measures; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the Santa Clara Valley Water District that a
water use reduction target equal to 20 percent of 2013 water use is called for through December 31, 2014, and it is
further recommended that retail water agencies, local municipalities and the County of Santa Clara implement
mandatory measures as needed to achieve the 20 percent water use reduction target.
