A member shall be considered removed from an advisory body under the following conditions. • A member misses more than three consecutive meetings • A member misses more than 25% of the advisory body’s meetings in a calendar year 14 4.

A member who has been removed from an advisory body for inadequate attendance may request a waiver of this provision by submitting a letter to the City Council setting forth the reason for the absences and confirming future availability. D. GENERAL PROVISIONS 1. Term limit restrictions listed in this resolution do not apply to temporary appointments for unexpired terms. 2. All provisions of this resolution shall apply unless otherwise decided by the City Council on a case-by-case basis. 3. In the event that any provision of this resolution conflicts with the provisions of any other ordinance or resolution governing a particular advisory body, the provisions governing that advisory body shall prevail.

Recommended Action Adoption of a resolution to notice the public of the intent to vacate a portion of Cordova Road, and set a public hearing on April 7, 2015 at 6:45p.m. Discussion On June 9th, 2014, the Planning Commission approved the Hillside Exception for three new single family residential homes submitted by Terry Brown, the applicant representing the three property owners. Building permit applications were also submitted subsequently. During the review process, the applicant and staff have determined that the property owners own the underlying fee title and the City possesses a roadway easement over Cordova Road. Furthermore, the City is requiring the property owners to improve Cordova Road as part of the project. Subsequent to recordation of the roadway easement vacation, the City will require a right-of-way dedication in fee title for all three properties that supports the proposed roadway design layout. The current City practice is that all roadways are dedicated in fee title rather than easement. In order to obtain a clean title for the roadway and remove excess right-of- way that is unnecessary for present and prospective public purposes, staff recommends vacating the entire roadway easement, 20-foot wide to the centerline of the roadway along the three properties, and requiring the property owners to dedicate right-of-way based on the new roadway alignment in fee title. The City will also be accepting a 10- foot public utility easement that extends beyond the new dedicated right-of-way line. The City intends to record both the right-of-way vacation and the dedications in subsequent order to ensure ongoing access rights to the public. 91 Actions for the vacation of the subject right-of-way are: 1. March 17, 2015 at 6:45 p.m.: City Council considers adopting a resolution with the intent to vacate the roadway easement which: a. Declares its intention to vacate the subject portion of the Cordova Road roadway easement; b. Sets a public hearing on April 7, 2015 at 6:45 p.m. to adopt said vacation; c. Directs the City Clerk to post a certified copy of the resolution along the line of said property and to publish a certified copy of the resolution in the manner prescribed by law. 2. April 7, 2015 at 6:45 p.m.: the City Council will conduct a public hearing to consider a resolution to adopt the vacation, which vacates the subject portions of the Cordova Road roadway easement. Staff has determined that adoption of the resolution declaring its intention to order vacation of a portion of Cordova Road can occur without adverse affect. Fiscal Impact No fiscal impact incurred for the notice of intent to vacate. Sustainability Impact None. ___________________________________ Prepared by: Winnie Pagan, Associate Civil Engineer Reviewed by: Timm Borden, Director of Public Works Approved for Submission by: David Brandt, City Manager Attachments: A – Draft Resolution 92 RESOLUTION NO. 15-XX A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO DECLARING ITS INTENTION TO ORDER VACATION OF A PORTION OF CORDOVA ROAD AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 8320 ET SEQ.

Recommended Action Adopt a resolution to update the Master Street Tree List. Description City of Cupertino Municipal Code section 14.12.050 references a Master Street Tree List that is to be prepared by staff and approved by the City Council via a resolution. The list provides the types and species of trees suitable for planting in public areas. The current list was approved by the City Council in March 2012. It is recommended that eight tree species be added to the current Master Street Tree List in order to help diversify Cupertino’s urban forest, with an emphasis on trees that have a low impact on potential damage to other infrastructure. The City’s arborist consulted with other cities, nurseries and the International Society of Arboriculture in determining the recommended species to include. Included as an attachment to the Master Street Tree List, is the Neighborhood Tree Theme map, which is also recommended to be updated to include more species diversification within area C.

Recommended Action Accept City project. Discussion On September 2, 2014, Council authorized the City Manager to negotiate and execute a contract for the subject project with Cupertino Electric Incorporated (CEI) in an amount not to exceed $426,207 and authorized a construction contingency allowance of $64,000. The contractor has substantially completed the work of the Service Center Solar Project contract. The project installed a solar power generation system that will offset the electric power bills for three meters – two at the Service Center and the one serving the Don Burnett Pedestrian Bridge. On Saturday, February 28th, the interconnect of the solar power system was accomplished and it is now generating power. The project was substantially completed by CEI on March 6, 2015. Minor remaining work includes the installation of a new Electric Vehicle Charging Station with dual chargers in the front parking lot at the Service Center, which will utilize power generated at the site and add an option for charging fleet vehicles, and commissioning the system for optimal performance. Sustainability Impact In addition to the conservation of the City’s financial resources, it is estimated that the installation will cause the following environmental benefits -  Annual CO2 Reduction – 115 tons  Annual Vehicle Miles Traveled Reduction Equivalent – 266,208 miles  Annual Carbon Sequestration Equivalent – 95 acres 116 These reductions align with the City’s General Plan Sustainability Element goals and Climate Action Plan. Fiscal Impact Cupertino secured a California Solar Initiative (CSI) rebate for the Service Center Solar Project in the amount of $64,039. The rate of rebate is $0.088 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of actual energy generated over the next five years, up to the maximum amount approved. ___________________________________ Prepared by: Katy Jensen, Capital Improvement Program Manager Reviewed by: Timm Borden, Director of Public Works Approved for Submission by: David Brandt, City Manager Attachments: None 117 CITY OF CUPERTINO Legislation Details (With Text) File #: Version:115-0661 Name: Status:Type:Consent Calendar Agenda Ready File created:In control:2/2/2015 City Council On agenda:Final action:3/17/2015 Title:Subject: Sport Center Tennis Court Retaining Wall Replacement Sponsors: Indexes: Code sections: Attachments:Staff Report Action ByDate Action ResultVer.
