Subject
Treasurer’s Investment Report for Quarter Ending December 2016
Recommended Action
Accept the report
Discussion and Fiscal Impact
The attached slides and investment portfolio listing, including the Wells Fargo List of
Assets report, comprise the Treasurer’s Investment Report. Together they show the
composition of the portfolio; total portfolio yield in comparison to the Local Agency
Investment Fund (LAIF), the 1-year Treasury, and the 2-year Treasury; diversification
within the government agency securities; and portfolio compliance with the City’s
Investment Policy.
For quarter ending December 31, 2016, the market value of the City’s portfolio total
$130.8 million which is $5.0 million higher than last quarter. The portfolio’s average
yield was 0.89% which is an increase from its 0.85% yield of the previous quarter ending
September 30, 2016. The average length to maturity decreased from 1.16 to 1.11 years.
The LAIF yield increased to 0.68% from last quarter’s yield of 0.55%.
LAIF’s balance was $40.7 million which is in compliance with the City Investment
Policy and state code. LAIF’s same- or next-day liquidity insures that the City is able to
pay its obligations for the next six months and also provides strong liquidity in the
short, intermediate, and long-term horizons. Market values on individual securities in
the investment portfolio are provided by Wells Fargo Bank Institutional Trust Services
using valuations from Interactive Data Pricing and Reference Data, Inc.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: March 7, 2017
Subject
State Senate bills supporting affordable housing.
Recommended Action
Adopt a position of support on Senate Bill 2 (Atkins): Building Homes and Jobs Act and SB 3
(Beall): Affordable Housing Bond Act of 2018, and authorize the Mayor to send letters in
support of these bills.
Summary
These two bills generate short-term and ongoing funding for affordable housing in California.
Senate Bill 2 (SB 2) would generate about $500 million per year for affordable rental or
ownership housing, supportive housing, emergency shelters, transitional housing and other
housing needs through a modest recording fee on certain types of real-estate transactions,
excluding real estate sales; while Senate Bill 3 (SB 3) would infuse $3 billion into the affordable
housing market on a one-time basis.
Discussion
With the dissolution of redevelopment agencies, dwindling federal resources for housing
programs, and skyrocketing housing costs, Cupertino and many California cities have limited
opportunities to make a significant impact on affordable housing issues. As described below, SB
2 and SB 3 would make a significant impact on the state’s housing crisis.
Senate Bill 2 (Atkins): Building Homes and Jobs Act
SB 2 creates a permanent source of funding for the creation of affordable housing for low and
moderate-income residents. The bill would impose a $75 fee paid at the recording of every real
estate instrument, paper, or notice required or permitted by law to be recorded with a cap of
$225 per transaction. The fee would not be imposed on commercial and residential real estate
transactions.
The fee is estimated to generate approximately $500 million each year to support affordable
housing with a geographically balanced distribution of funds, including a 50% direct allocation
to local governments. The allocation of funds would be as follows:
155
2
1. 20% for “affordable owner-occupied workforce housing.”
2. 10% to address affordable homeownership and rental housing opportunities for
agricultural workers.
3. 70% may be expended for the following purposes:
Development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of rental housing that
is affordable to extremely-low, very-low, low, and moderate-income households,
including necessary operating subsidies.
Affordable rental and ownership housing for those earning up to 120% of area
median income (AMI).
Matching funds to local or regional housing trust funds.
Matching portions of funds available through the Low- and Moderate Income
Housing Asset Fund.
Capitalized reserves for services connected to the creation of new permanent
supportive housing.
Emergency shelters, transitional housing, and rapid rehousing.
Emergency accessibility modifications.
Efforts to acquire and rehabilitate foreclosed or vacant homes.
Homeownership opportunities.
Grants to local and regional agencies to assist in the development and updating
of planning documents and zoning ordinances to accelerate housing production.
Fiscal incentives or matching funds to local agencies that approve new housing
for extremely low, very low, low- and moderate-income households.
If approved, California would join 38 other states that already have housing trust funds with
permanent ongoing revenues, including five (Missouri, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and
Washington) that have dedicated ongoing revenues generated by document recording fees.
Since the proposed fee is considered a tax under State law, SB 2 will need a two-thirds majority
vote of the Legislature. The bill has significant early support among legislators, with 12 Senate
co-authors in addition to the three Assembly co-authors. Local Bay Area co-authors include
Senators Beall, Skinner, and Wieckowski, as well as Assemblymembers Bonta and Thurmond.
SB 2 passed out of the Senate Transportation and Housing Committee and has been referred to
the Governance and Finance Committee.
SB 3 (Beall): Affordable Housing Bond Act of 2018
SB 3 would authorize a $3 billion general obligation bond to fund affordable housing programs
and infill infrastructure projects. The programs in this bond specifically fund the construction,
rehabilitation, and preservation of housing for those at risk of or currently experiencing
homelessness and low-income earners, as well as create more homeownership opportunities for
low- and moderate-income earners through existing programs as follows:
1. Multifamily Housing Program ($1.5 billion)
2. Transit-Oriented Development Implementation Program ($0.2 billion)
3. Infill Infrastructure Financing Grants ($0.3 billion)
156
3
4. Joe Serna, Jr. Farmworker Housing Grant Program ($0.3 billion)
5. Local Housing Trust Matching Grant Program ($0.3 billion)
6. CalHome ($0.3 billion)
7. Building Equity and Growth in Neighborhoods program ($0.1 billion)
These existing programs were all funded previously by the Housing and Emergency Shelter
Trust Fund Act of 2006 (Prop 1C bonds), which allocated $2.85 billion in bond funds resulting in
the creation of 92,000 housing units and 3,000 shelter spaces, with $250 million remaining to be
spent. Similarly, the 2001 Proposition 46 bond funds of $2.1 billion resulted in 91,000 additional
housing units. SB 3 is expected to provide a proportionate number of housing units.
As a bond measure, SB 3 will require a two-thirds majority vote and will be subject to voter
approval. The bill is authored by our Senate representative Jim Beall and has 10 Senate co-
authors. It recently passed out of the Senate Transportation and Housing Committee and has
been referred to the Governance and Finance Committee.
Local Impact
With the passage of SB 2 and SB 3, Cupertino will have additional funding to more effectively
address affordable housing shortages in our community, a priority of the City Council. The City
of Cupertino is in one of the highest cost areas in the country with limited affordable housing
options. Funding is critically needed to increase, preserve, and improve the City's affordable
housing stock for the City's workforce.
For these reasons, staff recommends that the City Council adopt a position of support on SB 2
and SB 3, and authorize the Mayor to send letters in support of these important pieces of
legislations.
Sustainability Impact
Building affordable housing near job centers, like Cupertino, would result in fewer vehicle
miles traveled, lower greenhouse gas emissions and overall better quality of life for residents.
Fiscal Impact
The passage of SB2 and SB 3 would make short and long-term funding streams available to the
City of Cupertino for local affordable housing projects.

RE: Senate Bill 2 (Atkins): Building Homes and Jobs Act Notice of Support
Dear Honorable Chair McGuire:
The City of Cupertino writes to express support for SB2 (Atkins): the Building Homes and Jobs Act.
The construction of private housing has not kept up with demand, resulting in high rents and home
prices well above the national average. This has also impacted the state’s homeless population, which
has climbed to 116,000 after years of progress. With the dissolution of redevelopment agencies,
dwindling federal resources for housing programs, and skyrocketing housing costs, Cupertino and
many California cities have limited opportunities to address the state’s housing crisis.
With passage of SB2, California cities will have additional funding to more effectively address
affordable housing shortages in our community, a priority of the Cupertino City Council. Cupertino is
in one of the highest cost areas in country with limited affordable housing options. Funding is critically
needed to increase, preserve, and improve Cupertino’s affordable housing stock for our growing
workforce.
If approved, California would join 38 other states that already have housing trust funds with
permanent ongoing revenues, including five (Missouri, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Washington)
that have dedicated ongoing revenues generated by document recording fees.
For these reasons, the City of Cupertino supports this measure.

RE: Senate Bill 3 (Beall):
Dear Honorable Chair McGuire:
The City of Cupertino writes to express support for SB3 (Beall): Affordable Housing Bond Act of
2018.
Our residents are facing unaffordable high rents and home prices due to the state’s housing
shortage, which has also impacted the state’s homeless population. With the dissolution of
redevelopment agencies, dwindling federal resources for housing programs, and skyrocketing
housing costs, Cupertino and many California cities have limited opportunities to address the state’s
housing crisis.
A proven method of increasing housing units in the state is the issuance of state bonds. Like
Proposition 1C in 2006 and Proposition 46 in 2002, approval of SB3, is estimated to result in over
90,000 additional housing units throughout the state. This will make a significant impact on the
state’s housing shortage.
For these reasons, the City of Cupertino supports this measure.
Please feel free to contact me at (408) 777-3192 or svaidhyanathan@cupertino.org should you have
any questions.
Sincerely,
Mayor Savita Vaidhyanathan

ANALYSIS OF PENSION/OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
CITY OF CUPERTINO
September 4, 2012 and February 23, 2017
FINDING 1
Public sector employees are eligible for retirement at least 10 years earlier than is common for private
sector employees.
Recommendation 1:
The Cities should adopt pension plans to extend the retirement age beyond current retirement plan
ages.
City Response 1:
The City concurs with this recommendation and is currently in negotiations to provide a 2% at 60 plan
for all new employees with an effective date of January 1, 2013.
Follow up on Recommendation 1:
(1) City View on Grand Jury Recommendations: City Agreed with Grand Jury recommendations
(2) If Grand Jury Recommendations were accepted: Yes, the City adopted a second tier 2% @ 60
prior to the PEPRA implementation that was effective January 1, 2013. This tier is for new
employees hired on or after January 1, 2013 with no prior CalPERS or reciprocal agency credit.
(3) Plan for Future Action: There is no plan to add any additional tiers at this time.
FINDING 2
Campbell, Gilroy, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Milpitas and Palo Alto have adopted second tier plans that
offer reduced Benefits, which help reduce future costs, but further changes are needed to address
today’s unfunded liability. Santa Clara County and the cities of Cupertino, Los Altos, Monte Sereno,
Morgan Hill, Mountain View, San Jose, Santa Clara, Saratoga and Sunnyvale have not adopted second
tier plans.
Recommendation 2A
Santa Clara County and the cities of Cupertino, Los Altos, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill, Mountain View,
San Jose, Santa Clara, Saratoga and Sunnyvale should work to implement second tier plans.
City Response 2A:
The City concurs with this recommendation and is currently in negotiations to provide a 2% at 60 Plan
for all new employees with an effective date of January 1, 2013.
Follow up on Recommendation 2A:
(1) City View on Grand Jury Recommendations: City Agreed with Grand Jury recommendations
(2) If Grand Jury Recommendations were accepted: Yes, the City adopted a second tier 2% @ 60
prior to the PEPRA implementation that was effective January 1, 2013. This tier is for new
employees hired on or after January 1, 2013 with no prior CalPERS or reciprocal agency credit.
162
2
(3) Plan for Future Action: There is no plan to add any additional tiers at this time.
Recommendation 2B
For Gilroy, Los Gatos, Milpitas and Palo Alto, which have not implemented second tier plans for MISC
and Public Safety second tier plans should be implemented for both plans.
City Response 2B: Not Applicable
Follow up on Recommendation 2B:
(1) City View on Grand Jury Recommendations: N/A
(2) If Grand Jury Recommendations were accepted: N/A
(3) Plan for Future Action: N/A
Recommendation 2C
All Cities’ new tier of plans should close the unfunded liability burden they have pushed to future
generations. The new tier should include raising the retirement age, increasing employee contributions,
and adopting pension caps that ensure pensions do not exceed salary at retirement.
City Response 2C:
Cupertino concurs with this recommendation and is currently negotiating a two-tier plan that will raise
the retirement age and utilize a three-year averaging in calculating future payouts. We have not yet
addressed increasing employee contributions or adopting pension plan caps.
Follow up on Recommendation 2C:
(1) City View on Grand Jury Recommendations: City agreed with GJ recommendations
(2) If GJ Recommendations were accepted: Yes, the City adopted a second tier 2% @ 60 prior to the
PEPRA implementation of the 2% @ 62 that was effective January 1, 2013. Both Tier 2 and the
PEPRA tier use a 3 year averaging. This tier is for new employees hired on or after January 1,
2013 with no prior CalPERS or reciprocal agency credit. In addition as part of labor contracts
negotiated in October 2016 the city will no longer pay any portion of the employee’s
contribution resulting in a 7-8% reduction in retirement costs for the City. These costs savings
were offset by increases in employee pay.
(3) Plan for Future Action: There is no plan to add any additional tiers at this time.
FINDING 3
Retroactive Benefit enhancements were enacted by Cities using overly optimistic ROI and actuarial
assumptions without adequate funding in place to pay for them.
Recommendation 3
The Cities should adopt policies that do not permit Benefit enhancements unless sufficient monies are
deposited, such as in an irrevocable trust, concurrent with enacting the enhancement, to prevent an
increase in unfunded liability.
City Response 3:
163
3
The City concurs with the recommendation and agrees that benefit enhancement policies should not be
adopted unless sufficient monies are available to pay for the additional costs. The City has a Fiscal
Strategic Plan Committee that ensures that benefit increases can be absorbed within the short term and
long term budget projections.
Follow up on Recommendation 3:
(1) City View on Grand Jury Recommendations: The City agreed the Grand Jury Recommendation
(2) If Grand Jury Recommendations were accepted: Yes, the City has not adopted any benefit
enhancements. The City has a Fiscal Strategic Plan Committee that ensures that benefit
increases can be absorbed within the short term and long term budget projections.
(3) Plan for Future Action: There is no plan to add any additional tiers at this time.
FINDING 4
The Cities are making an overly generous contribution toward the cost of providing Benefits.
Recommendation 4A
The Cities should require all employees to pay the maximum employee contribution rate of a given plan.

The City concurs with this recommendation and will consider including this in future negotiations.
Follow up on Recommendation 4A:
(1) City View on Grand Jury Recommendations: The City agreed with the Grand Jury
recommendations.
(2) If Grand Jury Recommendations were accepted: Yes, the City has as part of labor contracts
negotiated in October 2016 the city will no longer pay any portion of the employee’s
contribution resulting in a 7-8% reduction in retirement costs for the City. These costs savings
were offset by increases in employee pay.
(3) Plan for Future Action: There is no plan to add any additional tiers at this time.
Recommendation 4B
The Cities should require employees to pay some portion of the Past Service Cost associated with the
unfunded liability, in proportion to the Benefits being offered.
City Response 4B:
The City concurs with this recommendation and will consider including this in future negotiations.
Follow up on Recommendation 4B:
(1) City View on Grand Jury Recommendations: The City agreed with Grand Jury recommendations.
(2) If Grand Jury Recommendations were accepted: No, this change was not negotiated in the last
round of labor negotiations.
(3) Plan for Future Action: The City will consider including this in future negotiations.
FINDING 5
164
4
The Cities are not fully funding OPEB benefits as evidenced by large unfunded liabilities and small
funded ratios.
Recommendation 5
The Cities, should immediately work toward implementing policy changes and adopting measures aimed
at making full OPEB ARC payments as soon as possible.
City Response 5:
The City concurs with the recommendation and has prepaid our OPEB obligations in the past. In Fiscal
Year 12/13, City Council authorized the City Manager to pre-fund our entire OPEB obligations as a long-
term financial strategy.
Follow up on Recommendation 5:
(1) City View on Grand Jury Recommendations: The City agreed with Grand Jury recommendations.
(2) If Grand Jury Recommendations were accepted: Yes, the City paid over $8 mil toward the City’s
unfunded OPEB liability in January 2015.
(3) Plan for Future Action: Continue to monitor costs and may recommended additional lump sum
payments as unfunded liability grows.
FINDING 6
The City of San Jose permits the transfer of pension trust fund money, when ROI exceeds expectations,
to the SRBR, despite the fact that the pension trust funds are underfunded.
Recommendation 6
The City of San Jose should eliminate the SRBR program or amend the SRBR program to prevent
withdrawal of pension trust money whenever the pension-funded ratio is less than 100%.
City Response 6: Not applicable
Follow up on Recommendation 6:
(1) City View on Grand Jury Recommendations: N/A
(2) If Grand Jury Recommendations were accepted: N/A
(3) Plan for Future Action: N/A
FINDING 7
The Cities’ defined benefit pension plan costs are volatile. Defined contribution plan costs are
predictable and therefore more manageable by the Cities.
Recommendation 7
The Cities should transition from defined benefit plans to defined contribution plans as the new tier
plans are implemented.
City Response 7:
165
5
The City concurs with the recommendation and will consider including this in future negotiations.

2011-2012 SANTA CLARA COUNTY
CIVIL GRAND JURY REPORT
1
AN ANALYSIS OF PENSION AND OTHER POST
EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
Issue
After reviewing the Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFRs) of all cities,
towns and the County of Santa Clara (hereafter referred to as City or Cities1), the Grand
Jury was struck by the extent that the pensions and Other Post Employment Benefits
(OPEB) (collectively “Benefits”) were underfunded. Subsequently, the Grand Jury
sought to answer the following question: “Is the cost of providing pension and other
post employment benefits interfering with the delivery of essential City services and is
the ultimate cost to the taxpayers a bearable burden?”
Introduction
The Grand Jury developed a survey to gather information from the Cities and the
County. The Survey and responses are important to this report and the Grand Jury
encourages readers to read the Survey questionnaire provided in Appendix A before
continuing. Due to the technical complexity of this report, the Grand Jury has provided a
glossary of the terminology used throughout this report (Appendix B). Acronyms are
also included in the glossary.
CalPERS2 requires Cities to contribute sufficient funds, held in trust, to pay for pension
benefits as they are earned. This helps to ensure sufficient funding is in place to
provide the promised pension benefits. This trust money is invested and expected to
return a long-range investment return as high as 7.50%3 (after expenses). It is these
investment earnings that are expected to pay for as much as 70%4 of the cost of
pension benefits.
1 Cities as defined in this report include: Santa Clara County; the cities of Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy,
Los Altos, Milpitas, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill, Mountain View, Palo Alto, San Jose, Santa Clara,
Saratoga, Sunnyvale; and the towns of Los Altos Hills and Los Gatos,
2 The California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) is an agency in the California
executive branch that manages pension and health benefits for California public employees, retirees, and
their families.[
3 CalPERS recently reduced this rate from 7.75%.
4 Expected to decline as investment yield declines.
172
2
According to interviews, historically high investment earnings in the early 1990s
spawned the belief that expensive pension enhancements could be granted and paid for
by the excess investment earnings without compromising the Cities’ ability to afford
other services. Once these pension enhancements are granted to an employee, they
generally cannot be retracted unless a substantially comparable replacement is offered,
a concept referred to as vested rights. Cities reported that they felt compelled to
enhance benefits to attract and retain the best work force possible.
In addition to pensions, employers provide OPEB consisting primarily of health care
benefits. Unlike pension funding requirements, there is no requirement for Cities to pre-
fund the cost of OPEB benefits. As a result, most Cities have not funded OPEB
benefits and have accrued large OPEB debts. Escalating health care costs, the largest
component of OPEB, compound this debt problem.
As a result of an economic downturn, the average investment rate of return (investment
earnings) for the last ten years is considerably below what experts and Cities agree is
the still optimistic assumed rate of 7.5%. This return on investment (ROI) leads to an
increase in the Cities’ annual payment into the pension fund to make up the difference.
The rising costs of pension and OPEB (collectively hereinafter referred to as Benefits),
combined with the downturn of the economy have resulted in very large budget
shortfalls. These must be paid by current and future tax revenue, which is limited.
Thus, according to interviews, paying for these rising costs will come at the expense of
other City services.
With this in mind, the Grand Jury assessed the viability and sustainability of Cities’
public employee Benefits. This assessment sought to answer the following questions:
What are the costs of public employee Benefits and who pays for them?
Will Cities’ projected revenues keep up with projected expense of Benefits?
What is being done and what can be done to control Benefit costs?
Why are public employee Benefits different from those in the private sector?
Background
Several cities have declared bankruptcy. While the reasons for bankruptcy vary from
one municipality to another, and include lower tax revenues and decreased home
values, one common reason cited is large unfunded liability associated with providing
pension and healthcare benefits to its public employees. Locally, the City of Vallejo
declared bankruptcy in 2009 after failing to negotiate pay cuts in the face of $195 million
in unfunded pension obligations. Stockton is falling into bankruptcy with less than 70
173
3
cents set aside for every dollar of pension benefits its workers are owed5. A recent
Stanford University study regarding public pension funds statewide emphasizes this
predicament: “public pension shortfalls of $379 billion or $30,500 per household” exist
statewide6 contributing to the downgrading of California’s bond rating. San Jose is
proposing pension reform and considering higher taxes resulting from ten consecutive
years of budget shortfalls. The full effect of these unsustainable costs is yet to come.
Methodology
The scope of the Grand Jury’s investigation was limited to the Cities. Special districts
and other agencies were excluded from this investigation. The following resources were
used to gather and evaluate the data contained in this report:
City CAFRs; particularly notes to financial statements concerning Benefits (see
Appendix A)
Results obtained from a survey created by the Grand Jury and distributed to the
Cities (see Appendix B for the complete survey)
Interviews conducted with one or more of the following persons from the Cities:
Financial Manager, Chief Finance Officer, City Manager, Retirements Service
Director, and Human Resource Manager. All interviews were conducted
following receipt and evaluation of a survey, affording the opportunity to seek
clarification and elaboration on survey responses as necessary.
Interviews with CalPERS actuaries and CalPERS consultants
Other documents listed in Appendix A.

Discussion
This discussion consists of three primary sections:
Understanding CalPERS presents and discusses the basic concepts of
CalPERS public pension benefits to lay a foundation for a more detailed look at
City-provided Benefits.
Key Survey Results discusses those survey results found to be most relevant to
answering the Grand Jury questions.
San Jose’s Plan is discussed separately because San Jose is the only city to
not use CalPERS.
Understanding CalPERS
Because all Cities except San Jose8 participate in CalPERS for pension and many use
CalPERS for OPEB as well, it is vital to understand the following key concepts:
• Basic Pension Plan Formulas
• Annual Required Contribution (ARC)
• CalPERS Menu Options
• Assumed or expected Return on Investment (ROI)
• Unfunded Liability.
Basic Pension Plan Formulas
Employees belong to one of two different groups: Miscellaneous (MISC) or Public
Safety,9 each having defined plans. Table 1 lists all first tier10 CalPERS plans utilized
by Cities. Note that the plan names include the pension earned per year and the
retirement age at which full benefits are received.
8 Excluding the San Jose Mayor and Council Member plan.
9 Police and Fire personnel.

2.5%@55 5 3.0%@55 1
2.7%@55 7
For all plans the pension benefit formula contains the same three primary components
multiplied together as shown here:
Pension = Earned Benefit Rate x Years of Service x Salary
Earned Benefit Rate: This is the percent of salary earned per year of service as
indicated by the plan name. Retirement before age 55 for MISC employees and before
age 50 for most Public Safety employees results in the Earned Benefit Rate being
reduced (per CalPERS’ table). For example, a MISC employee in the 2.0%@55 plan
who retires at age 50 gets an earned benefit rate of 1.42612 per year of service rather
than 2.0. Similarly, participants of the 2.5%@55 plan as well as the 2.7%@55 plan
receive an earned benefit rate of 2.0 at age 50. Interestingly, the earned benefit rate for
members of the 2.0%@55 plan continue to rise until the age 63 where it plateaus at
2.41813 percent per year of service. This contrasts with the other two MISC plans that
plateau at age 55 at 2.5% and 2.7% respectively. (For a more detailed delineation of
earned benefit rates, see www.calpers.ca.gov).
Years of Service: This is self explanatory except to point out CalPERS supports
reciprocity, which means that employees can transfer from one CalPERS-covered
agency (City) or any other public agency that has established reciprocity with CalPERS,
to another such agency without forfeiture of earned pension (as is usually the case in
the private sector).14 Thus, an employee may work 10 years each for three different
cities and earn the same pension benefits as otherwise would have been earned if they
had worked for 30 years at a single city. But because each of the three cities pays only
its one-third share of the earned pension, statistically, this employee appears as three
employees earning a more modest pension from each city.
11 Some Cities contract for police and fire. Gilroy police and fire belong to separate Public Safety plans.

Salary: CalPERS has guidelines defining what wages and reimbursements qualify for
the purposes of determining pension. For a detailed discussion, go to
www.calpers.ca.gov. Generally, salary can either be the average highest salary over a
three-year period, or a highest single 12-month salary can be used, depending on the
plan adopted by the City. Using the highest 12-month salary (rather than highest 36-
month average salary in the pension formula shown above) is an example of what is
known as a “Class 1” benefit enhancement that is more expensive to provide.
It is noted here that Public Safety plan participants have a 90% maximum salary cap
that can be earned at onset of retirement. There is no corresponding limit placed on
plan participants. In both cases however, the Grand Jury learned that large pensions
(expressed as a percent of salary) serve as a deterrent to prolonging employment
because one can retire at close to full pay. Subsequent discussions on Employer Paid
Member Contribution (EPMC) and Cost-of-Living Allowances (COLA) will show how
pensions can actually exceed salary, leading to the paradox of employees losing
income if they continue to work as a public employee rather than retire.
ARC: What is it and How is it Determined?
The ARC is the annual actuarially determined amount that must be paid to ensure there
will be enough money to pay for all promised Benefits. As shown below, the pension
ARC consists of three principle components added together:
ARC = Employee Contribution + Normal Cost + Past Service Cost
It should be noted that generally the Normal Cost and Past Service Cost, in accordance
with labor contracts, are paid for by the Cities—through tax revenue—and sometimes
are supplemented by an employee contribution.
Employee Contribution: From the perspective of CalPERS, this is a fixed percent
and, as the name would suggest, was intended to be paid by the employees in much
the same way as most private workers pay a portion of their own Social Security
benefits. For all City employees, the Employee Contribution is either 7%, 8% or 9% of
an employee’s salary, depending in which plan the employee participates. It is
important to note, however, that in practice, most Cities pay some portion of this cost on
behalf of the employees.
Normal Cost: Less the employee contribution, if made, this is the amount required to
pay for the benefits that were earned in the prior year for the (expected) life of the
employee in retirement. This is determined through rigorous actuarial valuations taking
many variables into account, including retirement age, life expectancy, and probability of
disability. Normal Cost tracks very closely with the degree of Benefits being offered.
That is to say, discrete cost increases occur to this component of the ARC with each
benefit enhancement proportional to the cost of the benefit. Without benefit
enhancements, Normal Cost remains relatively flat over time.
177
7
Past Service Cost: Whenever the plan assets (all previously paid ARCs), including
ROI, become insufficient to pay the actuarial accrued cost of benefits, an unfunded
liability15 exists. This deficit must be made up in the form of Past Service Cost. This
component of the ARC is largely proportional to unfunded liability, increasing as the
unfunded liability goes up to begin paying down the debt. For many Cities surveyed,
Past Service Cost is approaching and in some cases already exceeds Normal Cost.
Later, this report will discuss the three most often cited reasons for unfunded liability:
market losses (ROI lower than the assumed rate), retroactive benefit enhancements,
and other accumulated actuarial assumption changes (e.g., longer life expectancy,
demographic changes).
CalPERS Menu Options
Each CalPERS plan has numerous benefits that are inherent to the plan itself.16 In
addition to these benefits, CalPERS offers a wide range of menu options that can be
thought of as upgrades or enhancements to the base plan. They are too numerous to
list but include the following:
Annual cost-of-living allowance (COLA) increase
Employer-paid member contribution (EMPC)
Credit for unused sick leave
Improved industrial and non-industrial disability
Special death benefits
Survivor benefits
Various military and public service credits.
Each enhancement selected results in quantifiably larger ARC payments. One cannot
conclude from the plan name that it is necessarily more or less generous than another
plan of a different name. For this reason, the Grand Jury’s investigation concerned
itself not with the issue of what specific Benefits were being provided but rather what
was the total cost of providing the Benefits expressed as a percent of payroll. Cities and
CalPERS experts agreed this is a sound methodology for comparing cities of different
sizes.
15 See Appendix C Glossary for definition.

Sensitivity to Expected ROI
All Cities and all CalPERS representatives interviewed consistently told us that
somewhere between 65% and 70% of the money to pay for Benefits comes from the
ROI of previously accumulated ARC payments. This cannot be emphasized enough.
The Cities spoke to their burden in struggling to meet ARC obligations in light of budget
constraints, but these ARC payments cover only about 30% of the amount necessary to
cover the cost of providing these Benefits. A critical actuarial assumption is the
expected ROI, which is currently assumed to be 7.50% after expenses for pension. The
actual average ROI over the last ten years has been 6.1% as depicted in Figure 1. The
result of this underperformance is higher unfunded liabilities, lower funded ratios, and
larger ARC payments (in particular, the Past Service Cost component of the ARC as
discussed above). Discussion of San Jose’s ROI included in this figure is deferred until
later.
Figure 1: Actual Return on Investment Compared to Assumed and Dow Jones17
CalPERS lowered the assumed ROI from 7.75% to 7.5% at a March 14, 2012 meeting.
Last year this same recommendation was rejected. This year, a 0.5% change was
recommended and only a 0.25% change was approved. Table 2 below is excerpted
from “Pension Math: How California’s Retirement Spending is Squeezing the State
Budget” written by Joe Nation from Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research.

7.1% 50.7% 66.7%
6.2% 62.6% 58.3%
4.5% 80.9% 45.1%
Two key points in Table 2 are:
According to this analysis, there is only a 42.1% chance of meeting or exceeding
an assumed investment rate of 7.75% as highlighted in the table. It should be
noted that the ROI assumption was recently reduced to 7.5%.
Dropping down to a more conservative 6.2% investment rate (still higher than the
6.1% average for the last ten years) is recommended by many leading
economists and recognized financial experts. The corresponding funded ratio
reduction would result in increases to unfunded liabilities and significantly higher
ARC costs.
Sunnyvale projects this modest CalPERS-approved reduction of 0.25% in assumed ROI
will increase its ARC by 2.3% of payroll for MISC employees and 3.8% of payroll for
Public Safety employees, totaling nearly a $3M increase per year in ARC payments. As
shown in Table 3, Sunnyvale’s pension cost was just over $25M. So, a $3M increase
represents a 12% increase. CalPERS and pension experts we spoke with asserted that
the cost of each additional 0.25% reduction in assumed ROI is not linear and warned
extrapolating this cost increase would result in underestimating the total cost impact.
Unfunded Liability & Funded Ratio
Unfunded Liability is the unfunded obligation for prior benefits, measured as the
difference between the accrued liability and plan assets. When using the actuarial value
of plan assets, it is also referred to as the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL).
In everyday language, it is the difference between the cost of the benefits already
earned and the amount currently paid; it is the amount due.

The Funded ratio is the market value of assets at a specified date, over the accrued
actuarial liability as of the same date. While technically accurate, these definitions
provide no insight into the causes of what have become large unfunded liabilities and
correspondingly low-funded ratios. The Grand Jury learned from CalPERS that the
three primary reasons for unfunded liabilities are the following:
70% of the unfunded liabilities is attributable to market performance
15% of the unfunded liabilities is attributable to retroactive benefit enhancements
15% of the unfunded liabilities is attributable to other actuarial assumption
changes.
The percentages shown above are “rule of thumb” values according to the CalPERS
representatives; individual City percentages will vary.
Key Survey Results
With the basic concepts of public pension benefits understood, the Grand Jury prepared
a survey to gather information from the Cities. Survey responses and all supplemental
data provided by the Cities were analyzed to answer the following questions:
19 Numbers reflect data provided in survey responses.
20 Excluding Mayor and Council Member Plan.
181
11
What is the total amount of unfunded liabilities?
What is the total cost each year to provide Benefits and at what rate is the cost
going up per year?
Why are OPEB funded ratios so low?
When were Benefit enhancements enacted and how do they impact unfunded
liability?
What progress is being made to control escalating costs?
Why are public Benefits so different from private sector Benefits?
Do vacation, holiday and sick leave policies in the public sector differ from those
that are commonly found in the private sector?
Unfunded Liability (Large Debts)
Table 3 tabulates the unfunded liability for both pension and OPEB for all large cities not
belonging to a risk pool and shows the total unfunded liability for these nine cities is
nearly $7B. Cities having fewer than 100 employees in a given pension plan (Campbell,
Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill, and Saratoga) are not
included because they belong either entirely or in part to a risk pool. CalPERS currently
does not provide this information to the Cities in the risk pool. Los Gatos and Morgan
Hill, for instance, do not know their portion of a $3,515,314,403 unfunded liability
associated with the Public Safety risk pool to which they belong. While Monte Sereno
and Los Altos Hills did offer an approximation of their portion of the risk pool liability,
CalPERS representatives recommended against using the estimation and as a result
are not included in Table 3. The Grand Jury has learned the Government Accounting
Standard Board (GASB) is considering a policy change to require the Cities in the risk
pool21 to report individual unfunded liability. Many Cities surveyed focused primarily on
minimizing the ARC payments, the short-term cost due, as opposed to addressing the
larger, endemic problem of its unfunded liability. This is problematic because minimizing
ARC payments today at the expense of addressing the growing unfunded liability
means shifting the costs to the future, hoping market improvements will solve the
problem. If the market does not improve, taxpayers may face increased taxes or
reduced services in the future.
Using 2010 census data obtained from http://www.sccgov.org together with the data in
Table 3, it is possible to estimate the amount owed by each resident to pay down
current Benefit debts in the Cities. For example, each resident of San Jose owes
$3,320 to the city. As residents of the County, they also owe an additional $1,547 to the
21 See Appendix C Glossary for definition.

County.22 But while this would pay down the current debt and significantly reduce ARC
payments, it does not guarantee staying out of debt going forward.
High Cost of Benefits (ARC) . . . and Getting Higher
The accumulated City cost of providing annual Benefits in FY2010 was $667,215,205
as shown in Table 4. While it is useful to know the annual cost of providing Benefits it is
not possible to judge whether or not any City is paying a disproportionate cost due to
the size variance of the Cites (large Cities are expected to pay more because they have
more employees). For this reason, the Grand Jury chose to compare the Cities by
expressing the ARC as a percent of payroll. Cities and pension experts agreed the
Grand Jury’s method of making this calculation was correct. That said, the same values
shown in Table 4 are also shown in Figure 2 expressed as percent of payroll separating
pension, OPEB and Social Security as applicable.

As shown in Figure 2, the cities of Campbell, Los Altos, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill and
Saratoga pay less than 20% of payroll towards Benefits while the remaining cities pay
more than 20%. Cupertino, Palo Alto and Sunnyvale pay in excess of 30% of payroll
towards Benefits. The survey results further indicated that Mountain View is noteworthy
because it offers similar plans as Cupertino, Palo Alto and Sunnyvale but at lower cost
to the city through cost sharing with employees who pay the entire employee
contribution (8% for MISC and 9% for Public Safety) plus some negotiated portion of
that city’s cost in the range of 1.5% to 6.8% depending on job type. Cupertino, Palo
Alto and Sunnyvale in contrast to Mountain View, pay some portion of the employee
contribution with Sunnyvale contributing the most (7% of the required 8% for MISC
employees and 8% of the 9% for Public Safety employees).
Figure 2: FY 2010 Benefit Ranking by Percent of Payroll
184
14
Comparing the Sunnyvale pension costs expressed in percent of payroll to Mountain
View (same plans) demonstrates that employee contributions toward the cost of
pensions is just as effective at keeping the cost under control as curtailing the level of
pension benefits being offered. Mountain View actually compares favorably to other
cities offering lower benefits. Table 5 summarizes the Cities’ plan(s) and the amount
contributed by employees.
For those Cities that elected to participate in Social Security (MISC employees in the
City of Santa Clara, Santa Clara County and Monte Sereno), the cost to the city has
been added to reflect the total amount the city is paying toward employee Benefits.
The survey responses conveyed how much pension and OPEB were expected to rise
during the next five to ten years. Most Cities responded using projections from the
latest actuarial valuations, which estimate contributions as a percentage of payroll
rather than in dollars. In the case of pension, these valuations are performed by
CalPERS and in the case of OPEB, the valuations are performed by an actuary firm
under contract to the City. All Cities’ Benefits costs are trending up, in spite of optimistic
assumptions regarding the ROI that has been shown to be of paramount importance.
Projected San Jose cost increases are discussed separately in subsequent sections.
Unfunded Retroactive Pension Benefit Enhancements
When a City amends its contract with labor unions to increase the pension formula (e.g.,
2% @ 55 to 2.5% @ 55) the increased benefits apply retroactively to all prior years of
service. The retroactive application of the increase results in an increase in the
unfunded liability and requires an increase in ARC payments by the City. The reason for
the increase in ARC payments can be illustrated by this example:
Assume an employee has worked for twenty-five years and has paid into the
system all those years. The City leaders now approve a retroactive benefit
enhancement without funding the retroactive period. Immediately the
employee and employer have effectively underpaid for the enhanced
unfunded benefits portion for the previous twenty-five years. The difference
between what was actually paid and what should have been paid to provide
the enhanced benefit adds to unfunded liability, which increases ARC
payments. This is now a new liability to the taxpayer.
In question three of the Grand Jury questionnaire (Appendix B), Cities were asked to list
any significant pension benefit changes that have been made over the past ten years.
Table 5 summarizes the responses received by the Grand Jury. As the table shows,
most Cities have increased pension benefits within the last ten years. When asked how
much these benefit increases changed Unfunded Liability, most cities provided the
CalPERS provided answer of 15%. However, Cupertino stated that benefit changes are
responsible for 26% of their Unfunded Liability and the City of Santa Clara cited 24.6%.

Cities told the Grand Jury that as recently as 2003, and in 2007 for Campbell and Los
Altos Hills, their plans were over funded. Assuming this trend would continue, Cities
thought they could enhance Benefits without significantly increasing their costs.
Analysis was performed to prove the enhancements could be funded. In hindsight, this
did not prove to be the case because the analysis assumed the optimistic ROI would be
achieved.
The County and a few of the cities attempted to recover some of the increased cost by
increasing the employee paid contributions and by eliminating previously enhanced
menu options. The Grand Jury learned that in some cases adequate funding was not in
place to pay for the enhanced pension benefits at the time they were granted. Without
solid plans to fund increases in pension benefit plans, Cities pushed the impact of these
increases to future generations of taxpayers.
Nearly every City demonstrated an historical pattern of granting unfunded benefit
enhancements as discussed here. This practice is beginning to change with the
adoption by a few cities of second tier26 plans that extend retirement age and reduce
Benefit costs.
Table 5 shows that eight cities have adopted second tier plans. Other Cities may be in
the process of adopting second tier plans but cannot report this fact because of ongoing
union negotiations. Note that all new second tier plans continue to be the defined
benefit type; none have adopted any form of defined contribution elements. While the
creation of second tier plans will reduce the cost of providing pension benefits,27 these
savings will not materialize for many years. All risks associated with market losses
remain with the Cities, and ultimately the taxpayers. Increasing employee contribution
rates, subject to labor agreements, is the most effective method of controlling cost in the
shortest amount of time.
Low OPEB Funded Ratios
As shown in Table 6, OPEB-funded ratios are low. These OPEB low-funded ratios and
corresponding high unfunded liabilities are of concern to the Grand Jury. Cities are
required to “pay forward”28 for pensions, but not for OPEB. As a result, many cities only
pay the minimum required to cover the current annual OPEB cost; no extra is paid to
defray the cost of all current employees when they retire. The Cities referred to this as
the “pay-as-you-go” strategy and results in very low-funded ratios—even zero percent.
This strategy has resulted in San Jose’s OPEB being $1,706,081,881 underfunded
(refer back to Figure 2 for a comparison of San Jose’s underfunded status relative to
other cities and the County)
26 See Appendix C Glossary for definition.
27 At the time of this report, the Grand Jury is not aware that Cities are considering OPEB changes in
second tier plans.

Mountain View, Sunnyvale and Cupertino are commended for having begun to
implement a “pay forward” strategy, which demonstrates fiscal responsibility. One San
Jose public official interviewed stated that the reason San Jose was not fully funding
OPEB is that it could not be done without significant curtailment of services, effectively
shifting the burden of payment to future generations.
Public Benefit Comparison to Private Sector Benefits
To put pubic employee Benefits into perspective, consider the average pension for
Public Safety employees in Palo Alto retiring between the ages of 51 and 54 with 30
years of service is $108,000. In Sunnyvale, the same employee receives almost
$102,000 per year. The most common pension plans offered to public employees who
spend their entire career in the public sector not only discourage employees from
29 Some 2010 data is derived from 2009 Actuarial Valuations
30 In 2010 and 2011 the city made payments of nearly $6.5M in excess of ARC to bring this up to 35.6%
31 San Jose has separate OPEB funds for its employees
32 In 2011 the city paid $32M in excess of ARC but impact on funded ratio has not yet been determined
via actuarial evaluation
188
18
continuing to work beyond the age of 50 or 55, they penalize them for doing so. The
CalPERS reported average pension of under $30,000 per year is misleading because it
fails to recognize persons who receive multiple pensions. The Grand Jury learned that
some employees actually earn more in retirement than they did while employed.
Further, the ratio of active employees to retirees was found to be three to two.33 With
budget constraints leading to staffing reductions and as the baby boom generation
approaches retirement age, this ratio is expected to continue downward, placing
additional financial burdens on the Cities.
Public benefits are overwhelmingly of the defined benefit type (refer to Appendix C for
the differences between defined benefits and defined contributions). While some
private sector companies continue to offer defined benefits, the clear trend in the private
sector is to transition away from defined benefits in favor of defined contributions,
thereby transferring the risks associated with market performance from the employer to
the employee. An additional advantage of the defined contribution is that it leads to less
volatile City budgets over time because the cost of providing benefits is constant, not
varying over time to compensate for market performance.
Determining in any meaningful way what might be considered “standard” private sector
benefits for the purposes of comparing to public sector was clearly outside the scope of
this investigation. That said, Bureau of Labor Statistics surveys show the majority of
private pensions include participation in Social Security and a defined contribution plan
such as a 401k. The employee and employer each contribute 6.2% of salary (currently
up to $110,100 in salary) per year, to pay for Social Security benefits.
While the particulars of 401k plans vary widely, the surveys show that the majority of
employees receive some form of matched savings plan described as follows. For every
dollar the employee contributes to their own 401k, the employer will contribute some
amount: 50 cents or less for most employees. Employees may be limited to the amount
they can contribute and employers limit the amount they contribute by specifying that
employer contributions cannot exceed a set percent of salary: four percent or less for
most employees. As described, the majority of private sector employees contribute
more than 50% of the total cost toward their own pensions (exactly 50% in the case of
Social Security and greater than 50% of the 401k since an employer only contributes a
portion of every dollar the employee contributes). Using 65 as a traditional retirement
age, the differences between public and private benefits are summarized in Table 7.
The Grand Jury reviewed the survey results and observed the following for all first tier
plan employees:
All Public Safety employees, except Gilroy fire,34 qualify for full retirement
benefits no later than age fifty (assuming at least five years of service)
33 Half the Cities surveyed currently have more retirees than employees.
34 Gilroy fire receives the same at age fifty-five rather than age fifty.
189
19
All Public Safety employees, except Gilroy fire,35 with thirty years of service credit
receive no less than 90% of their salary in retirement, not considering annual
COLA increases
All MISC employees qualify for retirement benefits no later than age fifty-five
(assuming at least five years of service)

In consideration of these statistics, and as shown in Table 7, the Grand Jury concludes:
Full pension is attained at an earlier age in the public sector than in the private
sector – some by ten years or more
Pension earned, expressed as a percentage of salary, is greater in the public
sector than in the private sector even after adjustment to account for non-
participation in Social Security
Employees in the public sector contribute less towards their pension plans than
their private-sector counterparts
Taxpayers in the public sector bear the risk of ROI and actuarial assumptions
associated with the pension plan, whereas employees in the private sector bear
the risk of market performance.
The Grand Jury acknowledges wages and salaries are a large portion of Cities’
budgets, and when salaries escalate this further exacerbates budget shortfalls. It may
be asserted that public sector salaries are lower than their private sector counterparts,
thus, justifying more generous public benefits. Readers can explore whether this
assertion is true by accessing publically available salary data.
Accrued Sick Leave Can Be Reimbursed
In general, the survey revealed no significant differences between the Cities in regard to
holiday, vacation and sick leave policies. However, it is noted that all Cities surveyed
except Gilroy, Monte Sereno, and Sunnyvale either reimburse for accrued unused sick
time or permit it to be converted into service time for purposes of determining pension.
Often reimbursement is at discounted rates and other times the amount of sick time that
can be accrued is capped. Gilroy, Monte Sereno and Sunnyvale responded “No” to the
survey question asking if accrued sick time is paid upon retirement, without proffering
whether or not it could be converted into service time. However, the Grand Jury learned
that sick time conversion to service credit is a common CalPERS benefit for all
members of risk pools.
The survey revealed that the City of Santa Clara grants fire personnel on 24-hour shifts
288 hours of sick leave per year. Up to 96 hours per year can be accrued and paid
(discounted to 75% of their hourly wage equivalent) for employees with 25 or more
years of service.
San Jose’s Plan
San Jose is the only city that does not use CalPERS to provide pension benefits (with
the exception of the Mayor and Council members who get benefits in accordance with
CalPERS 2%@55 plan). San Jose public employees have two independent plans:
Federated and Public Safety. Federated Plan members are equivalent to those in a
CalPERS Miscellaneous Plan. Public Safety members (police and fire) in San Jose are
191
21
identical to Public Safety members in other Cities. The San Jose Federated and Public
Safety plans share commonality with CalPERS 2.5%@55 and 3.0%@50 respectively
with the following key differences:
COLA is a guaranteed 3% compared to CalPERS’ not-to-exceed 2%
Employee-to-employer contribution ratio of three to eight (3:8)
Money is invested and managed by the two governing Boards (the Federated
Plan Retirement Board and the Public Safety Retirement Board) rather than
by CalPERS, and San Jose performs its actuarial valuations independent of
CalPERS
San Jose participates in a Supplemental Retiree Benefit Reserve (SRBR)
program.
Each of the major differences cited above is discussed in more detail below.
3% Guaranteed COLA
San Jose provides a guaranteed 3% COLA increase every year compared to a
CalPERS base COLA which is “not to exceed an accumulated 2% per year”.43 The
Grand Jury is unable to quantify the additional cost of increasing COLA. As mentioned
previously, CalPERS does provide menu options for increased COLA (including 3%),
but no other Cities have opted for this increase, citing cost as a reason.
Three-to-Eight (3:8) Employee Contribution Ratio
For every eight dollars San Jose spends on the Normal Cost of providing benefits
(excluding the Past Service Cost portion of benefits that the employer pays entirely44)
employees contribute $3-dollars. This differs substantially from CalPERS, which sets
employee contribution as a percent of salary between 7% and 9% depending on the
plan. As noted in Table 5, many Cities pay much of the employee contribution on behalf
of the employees, further complicating any comparison. As noted in Methodology, the
Grand Jury is reluctant to interpolate the data provided. The San Jose survey response
shows that Federated employees pay 4.68% (of payroll) toward pension, which
compares to CalPERS’ MISC plan at 8%. San Jose’s Public Safety employees pay
approximately 10.5% (of payroll) toward pension, which compares to CalPERS’ Public
Safety plan at 9%.
43 As a function of inflation, CalPERS COLA has a clause protecting retirees from losing more than 20%
of their buying power in retirement which could result in increases greater than 2%. When CPI is less
than the 2% promised, CalPERS COLA also entails “banking” of COLA as unneeded credits that can be
applied when CPI is greater than 2%. This results in annual COLA increase in excess of 2% when the
CPI exceeds 2%.
44 The ratio of Past Service Cost to Normal Cost (expressed in Percent Payroll) for Federated and Public
Safety are: 15.58/12.76 and 22/27 respectively
192
22
From a cost perspective, there is insufficient data to determine if the 3:8 ratio results in
net savings or increased cost to San Jose, compared to the CalPERS plan. However,
excluding Past Service Cost from any form of employee cost sharing does result in San
Jose paying a higher portion of the cost of providing Benefits.
Self-Managed Investing
The Federated and Public Safety Boards independently manage approximately $2B in
assets each (approximately $4B total). Both currently assume a 7.5% ROI, similar to
the recently adopted CalPERS ROI. As with CalPERS, these investment returns are
expected to pay the majority of the costs for providing benefits. It is critical, therefore, to
compare the actual investment performance to what is actuarially assumed, and it is
useful to compare San Jose’s investment performance to CalPERS.
As was shown in Figure 1, both Federated and Public Safety ROI for the last ten years
has been below the actuarial assumptions but slightly better than what CalPERS did in
the same time period. San Jose did not provide ROI data for 2011. The DJIA is shown
in the figure for comparison purposes and is intended to show that both San Jose and
CalPERS outperformed the general market (represented by DJIA) by a wide margin, yet
still fell below the optimistic actuarial assumptions so critical to economic viability.
The largest advantage of managing one’s own plans would seem to be the added
flexibility it affords the city in tailoring retirement formulas to meet the needs and means
of the city. Although there is little evidence the city is using this advantage in the current
first tier plans (as noted, San Jose plans are both very similar to CalPERS plans
offered), this advantage may be utilized if and when second tier plans are developed.
Supplemental Retiree Benefit Reserve (SRBR)
Recall from Table 3 that the combined pension unfunded liability for both the Federated
Plan and the Public Safety Plan is $1,434,696,471. As has already been discussed
and demonstrated, the largest single contributor to this is when the achieved ROI falls
short of the actuarially assumed ROI. With this in mind, it is difficult to comprehend how
responsible financial management would allow withdrawal of any portion of excess ROI
whenever the market actually does out-perform the expected rate to be used to pay
dividends in the form of an additional “thirteenth check”45 to retirees. But this is exactly
what the SRBR does. In the case of the Federated Plan, the market must only exceed
the expected rate in a single year to permit withdrawal of a portion of the excess ROI for
that year. For the same thing to happen in the Public Safety plan, the running five-year
average must exceed the expected return rate to permit withdrawal.
45 Generally, a windfall dividend payment.
193
23
It should be noted that San Jose has temporarily suspended the SRBR payouts.
Although San Jose has suspended payouts, the funds remain in the account and San
Jose has not used the payout to pay down its underfunded liability. In fact, the
suspension merely delays eventual payment to retirees in the form of even larger
“thirteenth checks.” A better use for these excess funds might be to retain them to pay
down the underfunded Benefits, as long as an underfunded liability exists.
Why Such Variance with Estimated Future Benefit Costs?
Much has been written regarding the predicted ARC cost for San Jose in FY 2015/2016.
Published estimates vary in the range of $400M to as much as $650M. The latter figure
represents a more than doubling of the current ARC of $245M per year—a rate of
increase not seen in any of the other Cities.
The Grand Jury interviewed several key personnel associated closely with these
predictions to determine why there is so much variability in the estimates. In particular,
the Grand Jury wanted to answer the following questions:
Were these predictions based on sound, factual data?
Does $650M represent a worst case number or could it be higher?
The Grand Jury learned that a large set of assumptions factor into any actuarial
valuation and many of these assumptions have complex interdependencies with one
another. The actuarial valuation itself is a rigorous, precise mathematical calculation
based upon these assumptions.
The ARC value can vary, from 400M to $650M or higher, when assumptions are
adjusted. Just two of those actuarial assumption changes, by themselves, account for
$120M of the $250M difference between the high and low estimate. These two
assumption changes are:
Longer life expectancy of Public Safety employees46 than previously assumed
Lower ROI rate.
Key personnel associated with making actuarial predictions gave an example where
increasing the life expectancy of police and fire to be closer to the life expectancy of
miscellaneous employees would increase the cost by approximately $40M. This is a
reasonable assumption change to consider since it reflects demographic changes that
CalPERS also has begun to reflect. In another assumption query, if the ROI were
46 CalPERS has been recognizing this trend and several Cities cited this as being a contributor to
unfunded liability
194
24
lowered by a whole percentage point to 6.5%, more in line with actual ROI for the last
ten years, this would contribute an additional $80M to the cost of ARC. Importantly, the
rationale for exploring a lower ROI was not to bring it into agreement with recent
earnings history, but to move San Jose’s portfolio from one of high risk and high
volatility to a position of low risk and low volatility.
The $650M per year cost estimate is not a worst case number. Pension experts the
Grand Jury interviewed stated that other actuarial assumption changes, within reason
and easily justified, would result in ARC costs even higher than $650M per year. The
Grand Jury understands that exploring these actuarial assumptions is justified. They
help bring attention to the severity of the Benefits crisis and abate the trend of pushing
financial problems to future generations of taxpayers.
Conclusions
Very optimistic actuarial assumptions result in lower ARC costs, leading to insufficient
funding and causing unfunded liabilities. The most critical of these is the ROI, which is
generally assumed to be 7.5%47. The actual ROI for the last ten years has been 6.1%.
This underperformance is the largest contributor to the Cities’ combined unfunded
liability of over $7B. Future taxpayers are responsible for paying benefits that are being
earned and collected today. Lowering the expected ROI—as recommended by leading
economists and recognized financial experts—significantly increases ARC and further
exacerbates attainment of balanced budgets. Public employee Benefits, especially after
being enhanced retroactively, have been shown to be more generous than those found
in the private sector and at an earlier retirement age. The amount a public employee
contributes toward benefits is shown to generally be less than an employee in the
private sector. As a result of lower public employee contribution rates toward their
retirement, increasingly large ARC costs must be funded by taxpayer dollars. Ignoring
this largesse will result in increased taxes combined with reduced services.
Average pensions are often cited in the range of $30,000, but these statistics can be
misleading. For instance, they include persons whose careers lasted five years or part-
time employees with longer service periods. Likewise, it can include employees who
work an entire career in the public sector but for different public entities over the course
of their careers. Each city that the employee worked for pays only its pro-rated portion
of the retirees pension. Thus, the employee’s actual pension is larger than the portion
attributable to each public entity.
Tier 2 plans that Cities are implementing offer a modest reduction to the future liability,
but do not significantly impact the unfunded liability in the short term. To address the
short-term cost of the public Benefit crisis, possible solutions may be found in two
47 Some OPEB ROI are at lower values.
195
25
elements of private sector benefits. The first is the need to reduce the level of benefits
to be more comparable to those found in the private sector, inclusive of extending
retirement age. Second, public employees must contribute a greater share towards
their Benefits, particularly those employees who receive enhanced Benefits. Such
solutions will reduce the burden the unfunded Benefits have placed upon current and
future taxpayers.
As to the question of defined benefits versus defined contributions, public Benefits
continue to be based on a defined benefit model versus the defined contribution model
that private industry has moved toward. The defined contribution model works well in
the public sector. It offers a working solution to the public sector as a means of
reducing the risk of high-cost defined benefit plans. Benefit plans are heavily
subsidized by pubic sector employers compared to the contributions of private sector
employers.
The Grand Jury concludes that until significant modifications are enacted, there is no
doubt that the escalating cost of providing Benefits at the current level is interfering with
the delivery of essential City services and the ultimate cost to the taxpayers is an
unbearable burden. These costs are already impacting delivery of essential services as
demonstrated by San Jose reducing police and fire department staffing levels, closing
libraries or not opening those newly built, curtailing hours of community centers, and not
repairing pot-holed city streets. Other cities in the County are likely to face similar
challenges as long as high cost benefit plans face an underfunding liability.
Understanding how Cities created this problem through unfunded retroactive benefit
enhancements, compounded by poor ROI, helps taxpayers understand that the problem
will not go away on its own.

Findings and Recommendations
When the term Cities is used below, it includes the following: Santa Clara County; the
cities of Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy, Los Altos, Milpitas, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill,
Mountain View, Palo Alto, San Jose , Santa Clara, Saratoga, Sunnyvale; and the towns
of Los Altos Hills and Los Gatos.
Finding 1
Public sector employees are eligible for retirement at least 10 years earlier than is
common for private sector employees.
Recommendation 1
The Cities should adopt pension plans to extend the retirement age beyond current
retirement plan ages.
Finding 2
Campbell, Gilroy, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Milpitas and Palo Alto have adopted
second tier plans that offer reduced Benefits, which help reduce future costs, but further
changes are needed to address today’s unfunded liability. Santa Clara County and the
cities of Cupertino, Los Altos, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill, Mountain View, San Jose,
Santa Clara, Saratoga and Sunnyvale have not adopted second tier plans.
Recommendation 2A
Santa Clara County and the cities of Cupertino, Los Altos, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill,
Mountain View, San Jose, Santa Clara, Saratoga and Sunnyvale should work to
implement second tier plans.
Recommendation 2B
For Gilroy, Los Gatos, Milpitas and Palo Alto, which have not implemented second tier
plans for MISC and Public Safety second tier plans should be implemented for both
plans.
Recommendation 2C
All Cities’ new tier of plans should close the unfunded liability burden they have pushed
to future generations. The new tier should include raising the retirement age, increasing
employee contributions, and adopting pension plan caps that ensure pensions do not
exceed salary at retirement.
197
27
Finding 3
Retroactive Benefit enhancements were enacted by Cities using overly optimistic ROI
and actuarial assumptions without adequate funding in place to pay for them.
Recommendation 3
The Cities should adopt policies that do not permit Benefit enhancements unless
sufficient monies are deposited, such as in an irrevocable trust, concurrent with
enacting the enhancement, to prevent an increase in unfunded liability.
Finding 4
The Cities are making an overly generous contribution toward the cost of providing
Benefits.
Recommendation 4A
The Cities should require all employees to pay the maximum employee contribution rate
of a given plan.
Recommendation 4B
The Cities should require employees to pay some portion of the Past Service Cost
associated with the unfunded liability, in proportion to the Benefits being offered.
Finding 5
The Cities are not fully funding OPEB benefits as evidenced by large unfunded liabilities
and small funded ratios.
Recommendation 5
The Cities, should immediately work toward implementing policy changes and adopting
measures aimed at making full OPEB ARC payments as soon as possible.
Finding 6
The City of San Jose permits the transfer of pension trust fund money, when ROI
exceeds expectations, to the SRBR, despite the fact that the pension trust funds are
underfunded.
198
28
Recommendation 6
The City of San Jose should eliminate the SRBR program or amend the SRBR program
to prevent withdrawal of pension trust money whenever the pension-funded ratio is less
than 100%.
Finding 7
The Cities’ defined benefit pension plan costs are volatile. Defined contribution plan
costs are predictable and therefore more manageable by the Cities.
Recommendation 7
The Cities should transition from defined benefit plans to defined contribution plans as
the new tier plans are implemented.

Appendix C: Glossary of Terms & Acronyms
Actuarial Assumptions: Assumptions representing expectations about future events (e.g. expected
investment returns on plan assets, member retirement and mortality rates, future salary increases, or
inflation) which are used by actuaries to calculate pension liabilities and contribution rates.
Actuarial Valuation: Technical reports conducted by actuaries that measure retirement plans’ assets
and liabilities to determine funding progress. They also measure current costs and contribution
requirements to determine how much employers and employees should contribute to maintain
appropriate benefit funding progress.
Actuary: Professionals who analyze the financial consequences of risk by using mathematics, statistics,
and financial theory to study uncertain future events, particularly those of concern to insurance and
pension programs. Pension actuaries analyze probabilities related to the demographics of the members
in a pension plan (e.g., the likelihood of retirement, disability, and death) and economic factors that may
affect the value of benefits or the value of assets held in a pension plan’s trust (e.g., investment return
rate, inflation rate, rate of salary increases).
Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL): The value of benefits promised to employees and retirees for
services already provided. This concept applies to both the pension liability and retiree health care
liabilities.
Annual Required Contribution (ARC): The amount of money that actuaries calculate the employer
needs to contribute to the retirement plan during the current year for benefits to be fully funded over
time. Generally CalPERS uses a 30 year period.
CAFR: Acronym for Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
CalPERS: Acronym for California Public Employees’ Retirement System
Defined Benefit: Promised fixed sum paid or service rendered. The assets in a defined benefit plan are
held by the employer who incurs all investments risks. See also defined contribution.
Defined Contribution: Contributions made by an employer to an individual employees investment
account such as a 401k. All investment gains or losses are those of the employee, not the employer.
See also defined benefit.
Employer Paid Member Contribution (EPMC): A program whereby the city pays employee
contribution in a manner in which the amount paid is considered income for the purposes of
determining pension. As exemplified by one city, “For example, an employee with a $100K income and
a 7% EPMC retires using a salary of $107K per year rather than $100K per year.”
Experience Gains/Losses: Gains or losses that arise from the difference between actuarial
assumptions about the future and actual outcomes in an organization’s pension plan.
First tier (1st tier) plans: Benefits promised to all employees prior to the implementation of a second
tier plan. First tier plans have generally been enhanced; contributing to the cost escalation. See also
“second tier” in the Glossary.
204
34
Appendix C: Glossary of Terms & Acronyms - continued
Funded Ratio: The market value of assets divided by the accrued liability. Funded ratio is a measure of
the economic soundness of a fund.
Market Gains/Losses: Gains or losses that arise from an increase or decrease in the market value of a
plan’s assets, including stock, real property, and investments.
Miscellaneous (MISC) employee/plan: Public employees who are not sworn police or fire. The
term MISC generally is used to describe a pension plan. The city of San Jose refers to these employees
as belonging to a Federated plan rather than a MISC plan.
Normal Cost: That portion of the ARC (see above) which is based solely on the value of the benefits
being offered.
OPEB: Acronym for Other Post Employment Benefits. OPEB benefits are primarily health care
benefits but can include other benefits such as life insurance.
Opt In Plan: Term used to designate an employee elective benefit plan; employees choose between
maintaining current benefits but at an increased employee contribution rate or elect to receive lower
benefits and avoid increases to employee contribution rates.
Risk Pool: In 2005 CalPERS created risk pools to aggregate small cities (generally defined as having less
than 100 employees) into large pools to eliminate statistical anomalies associated with small sample sizes
and gain reporting efficiencies.
ROI: Acronym for Return on Investment. See also Market Gains/Losses.
Public Safety Employees: Most police and fire personnel. Other public employees are generally
referred to as miscellaneous employees (see above) and may include some members of police and fire
departments.
Second tier (2nd tier) plans: Benefits promised to all employees hired after the date of implementing
a plan with reduced benefits. Second tier plans generally have reduced benefits and lower costs. See
also “first tier” in the Glossary.
Sidefund: Generally the unfunded liability that existed prior to entering a risk pool. A city is
responsible for their entire sidefund plus their portion of the risk pool. Sidefund repayment can be
accelerated. Some cities did not separate sidefund monies from ARC while others did.
Smoothing of Gains/Losses: Actuarial method of spreading, or smoothing, market gains and losses
over a period of time. The purpose of smoothing is to minimize short-term, year-to-year contribution
rate fluctuations which may result from market swings. The smoothed asset value is also known as the
actuarial value of assets.
Unfunded Liability: This is the unfunded obligation for prior benefit costs, measured as the difference
between the accrued liability and plan assets. When using the actuarial value of plan assets, it is also
referred to as the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL).

Subject
Review and consider a development proposal submitted (Scandinavian Furniture Site), for
consideration by the City Council, to authorize the proposed applicant to submit an
application for a General Plan Amendment and staff to commence environmental and
project review. (Application No.: GPAAuth-2016-01; Applicant: Kings Mill Group, Keith

Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Draft Resolution (Attachment A) after
determining whether the application is authorized to move forward to apply for a General
Plan Amendment.
Discussion
Background
On September 1, 2015, the City Council adopted procedures for considering future General
Plan amendments. The new procedures provide the following benefits over the previous
process whereby General Plan amendments were processed as they were received:
Provide ability to achieve orderly development of the City through a managed process;
Ensure that additional development can achieve/improve facility/service and quality of
life standards for the community;
Provide opportunity for early community input;
Consider impact on staff and other resources.
Pursuant to the new procedures, the City Council will evaluate General Plan Amendment
proposals for authorization as follows (see Attachment B for adopted Council policy):
GPA applications would be considered by the Council twice every year;
The Council may allow applications to be re-considered at a continued hearing by the
City Council to submit revisions/additional information within 30 days.
215
Applications that are rejected would wait for a year before re-applying (i.e. they would
not be allowed to re-apply in the 6 month subsequent cycle).
The deadline to apply for consideration in the 2017 First Cycle by the City Council was
November 14, 2016. The City received one application for authorization for General Plan
amendments – the Scandinavian Furniture Site.
The item was on the City Council’s February 21, 2017 meeting agenda; however, t he
applicant requested a postponement to March 7, 2017. The City Council on a 3-1-1 vote
continued the item (Scharf voting no and Sinks absent).
The Analysis section below reviews the project based on the evaluation criteria set forth in
the procedures adopted by the Council.
Analysis
Introduction
The proposal is a request to incorporate 1,790 sq. ft. of existing outdoor arcade area into the
existing 26,239 sq. ft. retail space on site (Scandinavian Furniture) and convert it to an office
use totaling 28,029 sq. ft. The applicant anticipates either an incubator or medical office use.
Since the available office allocation balance in the General Plan is not adequate to allow this
change of use, the applicant is requesting a General Plan Amendment needed to add office
allocation to the Heart of the City Special Area (See Attachments C and D.) The applicant is
requesting 16,000 sq. ft. of additional office allocation; however, the proposed project would
only need an additional 10,916 sq. ft. of office allocation (see details in Table 3 below).
Evaluation Criteria
Based on the criteria in the policy adopted by the City Council on September 1, 2015, the
project has been evaluated based on:
General Plan goals achieved by the project:
o Site and architectural design and neighborhood compatibility – does the project
exhibit superior quality of site layout and project design? Is the project compatible
with the surrounding uses?
o Fiscal impacts, including a diverse economic base – would the project have positive
or negative one-time and ongoing impacts to the City’s fiscal base?
o Provision of affordable housing – does the project provide or otherwise promote
affordable housing above and beyond typical City requirements?
o Environmental sustainability – to what extent does the project include features
including green building, site design and project operation principles, that promote
environmental sustainability above and beyond the City’s typical requirements?
216
General Plan amendments requested – number and type of General Plan amendments
requested by the applicant.
Proposed voluntary community amenities – what is the per-square-foot amount of
community amenities offered by the applicant?
Staff time and resources required to process the project – would the amount of staff time
and resources require hiring of staff or consultants to process the project? It should be
noted that applicants would be required to pay the full cost of processing the project,
including staff and consultant time and materials.
Table 1 includes a high-level analysis of how this application addresses these criteria. A brief
discussion of the project is provided later in this report.

Evaluation of Project Proposal:
The following is a high-level evaluation of project proposal related to compliance with
the City’s General Plan.
Location – 19900 Stevens Creek Boulevard
Project Description - The proposal for the Scandinavian Furniture site is to incorporate
1,790 sq. ft. of existing outdoor arcade area into the existing 26,239 sq. ft. retail space on
site and convert it to either an incubator office or medical office use totaling 28,029 sq. ft.
Project Location and Surrounding Uses
The 1.92 acre project site is located on the south side of Stevens Creek Boulevard,
approximately 350 feet east of the intersection of South Blaney Avenue and Stevens Creek
Boulevard. The site contains a 26,239 sq. ft. standalone retail building, occupied by
Scandinavian Furniture, and associated parking. The project site is in the Central Stevens
Creek Boulevard subarea of the Heart of the City (HOC) Specific Plan Area.
Surrounding uses include a mix of retail, office, and a mixed-use condominium
development (Travigne) to the north, a townhome development (Portal Plaza) to the east,
a standalone restaurant (Arya) and other commercial uses to the west, and single family
homes to the south.

Site and Architectural Design and Neighborhood Compatibility:
The proposed addition to the existing building and site treatments will need further
review. Preliminarily, the design has the main (only) entry along the side (east)
elevation. Typically, the main entrance should be facing the right-of-way, in this case
on the north elevation, along Stevens Creek Boulevard in order to activate the street
and as encouraged in the General Plan.
The plans propose a small patio along the front with a seating wall for users of the
building. The City has in the past required new developments along Stevens Creek
Boulevard to incorporate outdoor seating elements that allow for access directly from
the right-of-way and interaction with the public.
The current parking supply on site (indicated on plans) does not conform to retail
parking standards (1 space/250 sf) and the site has a deed restriction to limit its
occupancy to furniture retail operators. In November 2016, the applicant obtained
approval to increase the parking on the site to meet the retail parking standards.
However, this construction work is on hold pending a decision on the General Plan
Amendment application. In addition, the applicant made an application in January
2017 with the City, to remove the requirement for a deed restriction on the property,
to allow other complying retail uses to operate from the site. This was approved by the
Planning Commission at its February 14, 2017 meeting.
221
Net Fiscal Impacts:
The applicant’s financial justification for allowing the change in use, is a higher
assessed property tax value ($263,087) due to his purchase of the property in 2016, and
other property improvements contemplated with the proposal. An analysis of fiscal
impacts to the City has been prepared by Economic & Planning Systems (EPS), a third-
party consulting firm, which indicates that a more conservative estimate of assessed
property tax is $141,700, with the City’s share (allocated to the General Fund) being
$8,199. (See Attachment E.)
An increase in sales tax as a result of office workers spending within the City boundary
is justified by both the applicant and EPS.
EPS’s fiscal impact report found that, overall, both start-up incubator and medical
office uses would generate more service costs to the City’s General Fund, and result in
a deficit of $36,000 and $33,000 respectively.
The City’s Economic Development Specific Plan (EDSP) includes policies that support
the conversion of underutilized ground floor retail space to incubator or co-working
uses (Strategy 4.1) (see Attachment F.)
Provision of affordable housing:
The proposal does not include a residential component and the applicant has not
proposed to provide any alternatives. However, the applicant will be required to pay
any applicable housing mitigation fees as a project requirement.
Environmental Sustainability:
None indicated. The project would be required to comply with statutory requirements.
Voluntary Community Amenities Proposed:
The applicant has not proposed any community amenities with this project as indicated
in Table 3 below.

Staff Time and Resources
The Planning Division will dedicate a project manager (either staff or consultant based
on availability) to guide the project through the entitlement process appropriate
environmental and city related reviews. It is estimated that about 0.3FTE of staff time
would be required to process the project. Staff time and consultant costs will be paid for
by the applicant.

As of publication of this staff report on January 27, 2016, staff has received one comment
(Attachment G).
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply since the City
Council’s action, consideration and authorization to allow, or not allow, formal
applications, is not a project as defined by CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
Fiscal impact analysis for the project is included in Attachment E.
The fiscal impact analysis indicates that the full service hotel currently proposed by
the applicant provides the City with a net fiscal negative revenue of $33,000 - $36,000.
223
NEXT STEPS
Projects authorized by the Council to move forward will enter the formal development
review process including necessary environmental analysis. The timeline for the projects
will begin when the applications are complete and are expected to run about 7-9 months.
Projects additionally have the option to resubmit their application with minor
adjustments based on Council input within 30 days of the Council meeting. The
applications will be brought back to a subsequent meeting later in Spring 2017.

RESOLUTION NO. 15-078
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO
ADOPTING PROCEDURES FOR PROCESSING OF
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT APPLICATIONS
WHEREAS, on December 4, 2014, the City Council adopted an amended General Plan titled
Community Vision 2040, which reflects community input, regulatory changes, best practices, and
the desire to achieve community-building, sustainability, economic, and fiscal objectives; and
WHEREAS, the City has been evaluating various programs to manage development to
address development issues in light of concerns about rapid growth and the impacts of such
growth overwhelming the City's ability to accommodate it, as well as the substantial impacts of
development on quality of life in the community; and
WHEREAS, as part of its evaluation process, the City has considered Community Business
Incentive Zoning (CBIZ) and Growth Management programs; and
WHEREAS, while CBIZ and Growth Management programs can be effective in metering
growth and providing for community benefits, they can be difficult to administer, are limited by
legal requirements and do not provide the flexibility for managing growth and its substantial
impacts on the community; and
WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 65358( a) provides that: "If it deems it to be
in the public interest, the legislative body may amend all or part of an adopted general plan. An
amendment to the general plan shall be initiated in the manner specified by the legislative body ...
. ";and
WHEREAS, each mandatory element of the City's General Plan may be amended no more
than four times during any calendar year and, subject to that limitation, "an amendment may be
made at any time, as determined by the legislative body" (Cal. Gov. Code 65358(b)); and
WHEREAS, the City's Municipal Code does not address the timing or initiation of general
plan amendments; and
WHEREAS, rather than pursue a CBIZ or Growth Management program, the City desires to
set forth an orderly process, in accordance with its legislative discretion, to consider General Plan
amendments and ensure that proposals are fairly considered in light of the City's goals and
concerns about growth; and
WHEREAS, the City has prepared General Plan Amendment Procedures to provide a
process for preliminary review of proposed amendments; and
WHEREAS, the City Council conducted a public hearing on the proposed procedures on
May 19, 2015, and the Council directed staff to provide more information and options at a future
meeting; and
WHEREAS, the City held an Open House on the General Plan Amendment Process on June
30, 2015, and the City Council held a Study Session after the Open House; and
228
Resolution No. 15-078
Page2
WHEREAS, at the Study Session, the Council directed staff to look at options that allowed
for applications twice a year and that provided a reevaluation process; and
WHEREAS, the procedures include, among other things: (1) notice provisions to ensure the
public has an opportunity to comment; (2) evaluation criteria to ensure general plan amendments
that move through the application process are in the public interest and meet the City's goals for
development, including provision of community amenities; and (3) requirements for requesting
preliminary review of a proposed General Plan amendment; and
. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Cupertino
hereby adopts the General Plan Amendment Procedures attached hereto, subject to minor revisions
as may be made by the City Manager in consultation with the City Attorney. The City Council
hereby authorizes City staff to process proposed General Plan amendments in accordance with the
General Plan Amendment Procedures and to take any and all other actions necessary to implement
the procedures.

PROCEDURES FOR PROCESSING
OF GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT APPLICATIONS
1. Background/Goals
Like many communities throughout the State, Cupertino is concerned about balancing the
benefits of economic development with the effects of rapid growth. The impacts of such growth
can overwhelm the City's ability to accommodate it and affect the quality of life in the
community.
The goal is to create a procedure for the consideration of future General Plan amendments that
will encourage orderly development of the City and ensure that facility/service and quality of
life standards can be met for the community. These procedures only address amendments
requested by private parties. The City may initiate General Plan amendments when it deems
necessary, such as, to conform to State law or to ensure consistency within the General Plan.
2. Procedure
a. The Council will consider the timing and processing of General Plan amendments twice a
year, approximately every six months.
b. In order to be considered for processing, applicants will be required to apply for
authorization to process a General Plan amendment by a designated date.
c. In the quarter following the due date (generally), the Council will hold a publicly noticed
meeting to preliminarily review the list of proposed General Plan amendments.
d. Noticing-City-wide postcard and public meeting requirements.
e. Each application will be preliminarily evaluated for the following:
(i) General Plan goals achieved by the project including, but not limited to, the following:
(1) Site and Architectural design and neighborhood compatibility
(2) Brief description of net fiscal impacts (sales tax, transient occupancy tax or other
revenue provided by the project) including a diverse economic base
(3) The provision of affordable housing
( 4) Environmental Sustainability
(ii) General Plan amendments (and any other zoning amendments or variances) requested.
(iii) Proposed voluntary community amenities, as defined in Section 3, if any.
(iv) Staff time and resources required to process the project.
f. Based on the above evaluation the Council will consider which projects, if any, will be
authorized to proceed with a General Plan amendment application. The decision does not
in any way presume approval of the amendment or project. It only authorizes staff to
process the application, but the City retains its discretion to consider the application in
accordance with all applicable laws, including the California Environmental Quality Act
230
Resolution No. 15-078
Page4
(" CEQA") and the City's zoning laws and ordinances. Consideration of the application will
be in accordance with the City's Municipal Code and regulations.
g. Staff will begin processing the General Plan amendment applications per Council direction.
A project that applies for processing should be in substantial compliance with the project
authorized by Council.
h. Proposals not authorized by the Council at the first meeting (per 2.c. above) may be
resubmitted with minor amendments within 30 days. Such projects will be considered by
the Council at a future public meeting, noticed per the Cupertino Municipal Code, after staff
review.
3. Voluntary Community Amenities
a. For purposes of this policy, voluntary community amenities are defined as facilities, land
and/or funding contributions to ensure that any development with a General Plan
amendment application enhances the quality of life in the City, including enhancements of
the following:
(i) School resources
(ii) Public open space, such as parks and trails
(iii) Public facilities and utilities, such as library, community center or utility systems
(iv) Transportation facilities with an emphasis on city-wide bicycle, pedestrian and transit
improvements, such as community shuttles, pedestrian and bicycle bridges, and transit
centers/stations
4. Preliminary Review Requirements
a. Preliminary documents that would be typically required for the type of application that is
requested, such as site plans, preliminary landscape plans, elevations, cross sections,
preliminary grading plans and proposed materials.
b. A description, including graphics, of the General Plan amendment(s) and land use
approvals required, if any. The description should include diagrammatic information as
necessary to clearly explain the request.
c. An explanation of how the proposed project meets the overall goals of the General Plan and
the benefits/impacts of the project to the community and its quality of life.
d. A brief summary of net fiscal impacts.
e. In order to provide the public with early notice and opportunity to provide input, to the
extent the proposed project includes voluntary community amenities, as defined in Section 3
above, of a type typically memorialized in a development agreement, the applicant should
include a Term Sheet explaining the proposed terms. The Term Sheet will be memorialized
in a Development Agreement as part of the project, if approved.

Irrigation
The entire site will be irrigated using a fully automatic system and designed to meet the City's Water Efficient
Landscaping Ordinance (WELO). The irrigation system will largely be low-volume design with low flow
bubblers and/or drip emitters. Trees will be irrigated on separate circuits from the shrubs. The system will
include in-line valves, quick couplers, and gate valves. The irrigation controller will be a "smart" controller by
Rainbird, Toro, Hunter, or equal. A complete irrigation design with these parameters will be provided with the
submittal of building permit plans. See the WELO calculations in the lower right of this sheet.

The landscape design concept for the new office building is to provide an enjoyable and
aesthetic space for the employees and guests that fits within the landscape framework of the
surrounding area. Plant material has been selected that performs well in the special conditions of
the South Bay (Sunset Zone #15).
No new turf areas are being added. Low and medium water-use hardy trees, shrubs, grasses,
and groundcover are proposed for the landscape around building. The landscape (and
associated irrigation) has been designed to be compliant with City of Cupertino Water Efficient
Landscape Ordinance.
Special considerations have been provided in selection of plant material that respects the needs
of the office users as well as the guests. Clear and secure view corridors have been provided to
ensure safety of people entering the building as well as moving around the site.

M EMORANDUM
To: Gian Martire, City of Cupertino
From: Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.
Subject: Fiscal Analysis of 19900 Stevens Creek Boulevard General
Plan Amendment Application; EPS #161195
Date: February 10, 2017
The City of Cupertino retained Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS)
to prepare this impact analysis of an application for a General Plan
Amendment (GPA). The site currently is occupied by a 26,000-square
foot furniture store. The applicant is requesting an increase of 16,000
square feet of office allocation to be added to the Heart of the City
Specific Plan area to allow a change of use from retail to office. With the
existing allocation available in the Heart of the City Specific Plan and the
additional allocation requested, the applicant could bring either a
business start-up incubator or a medical office tenant to the site.
In addition to the use change to office, the proposal calls for increasing
the square footage of the existing building from 26,000 to 28,125 by
enclosing and finishing an existing arcade.
This EPS analysis assesses both proposed tenant alternatives:
Start-up Business Incubator and
Medical Office.
The Summary of Findings below presents the estimated economic
impact of each alternative. The detailed calculations that follow
document the Start-up Business Incubator alternative, which is
identified as marginally more fiscally burdensome than the medical office
alternative.
Consistent with previous EPS fiscal analyses of GPA applications, this
study focuses on the effect of the proposed development on the City of
Cupertino’s General Fund. The objective of the analysis is to quantify
whether the proposed GPA will generate adequate revenues to cover the
costs of providing ongoing services to the project. The analysis does not
consider the impact of the proposal on potential capital facilities cost
requirements or other one-time costs. The analysis compares the impact

Cupertino GPA Fiscal Impact Review Page 2
P:\161000s\161195CupertinoGPA\Deliverable\161195_Cupertino GPA Memo_02.10.17.docx
of the proposed GPA alternatives at buildout to the baseline impact of the existing use in the
project area.
Actual fiscal impacts will depend on a number of factors that cannot be predicted with certainty,
including the market performance of the project, future changes in City or State budgeting
practices, and the efficiency of various City departments in providing services. Key analytical
inputs and assumptions used in this analysis are from the development application, City
documents, information from City staff, and EPS industry knowledge.
Summary of Findings
1. The proposed project is likely to result in a modest annual net fiscal burden on the
City of Cupertino’s General Fund.
This analysis estimates that the net annual fiscal impact of the GPA proposal on the City’s
General Fund is approximately negative $33,000 to negative $36,000. The incubator is likely
to generate more tax revenue and more cost to the City, as compared to the medical office
alternative. This finding is largely attributable to the anticipated employment density that
would be achieved with an incubator tenant.
Table 1 Fiscal Impact Comparison
2. An incubator office project likely would generate more tax revenue than the
existing furniture store, but also would create more service cost for the City.
This analysis estimates that the net annual fiscal impact of a business incubator on the
General Fund is approximately negative $36,000, as shown in Table 2. The net increase in
General Fund revenues from the project at buildout is estimated at roughly $3,000 more
annually than existing uses. However, the net increase in General Fund expenditures is
estimated at approximately $39,000 more per year than the current use. If the assessed
value of the project is higher than anticipated by this analysis, consistent with the applicant’s
estimates, the net fiscal impact of the GPA would be negative $30,000.

Table 2 Fiscal Impact Summary – Start-Up Incubator
3. The estimated fiscal burden to the City would be marginally less if the tenant of the
proposed office space is a medical office user.
If the applicant is successful in its negotiations with a medical office end user, the net fiscal
burden to Cupertino’s General Fund could be slightly reduced from the results shown in
Table 2 above. This alternative likely has a lower revenue generation and lower cost
implications for the General Fund, as compared with the incubator alternative. A medical
office use is anticipated to operate at a notably lower density of employment. The net fiscal
impact of the medical office tenant scenario would be negative $33,000 per year, as shown in
Table 3.

Fiscal Impact on the General Fund
This section describes the methodology and key assumptions used to estimate the fiscal impacts
of the proposed GPA. The analysis is based on information from three key sources:
(1) the GPA application material submitted
(2) interviews with City planning and finance staff
(3) EPS research and industry knowledge
EPS has developed a fiscal impact framework based on its in-house methodology and Cupertino-
specific factors. EPS has not conducted an independent audit of the City’s budget, performed in-

depth interviews with service-providing City departments, or conducted detailed market analysis.
EPS fiscal estimates differ from those provided by the applicant due to the differences in
methodology. There are two notable differences between the studies. First, the applicant’s
projection does not include an estimate of fiscal costs associated with the project and therefore
is not a complete fiscal impact estimate. The second main difference in methodologies is that the
EPS analysis is only considers fiscal revenues that accrue to the City of Cupertino’s General Fund
(i.e., only a portion of total sales tax and property tax revenue), while the applicant’s analysis
includes all property tax and sales tax revenue. In reality, much of the revenue generated
through property taxes and sales taxes will be distributed to public entities other than the City.
Proposed General Plan Amendment
The applicant is proposing a use change and slight intensification of a 26,000-square foot retail
space on a 1.92-acre property located at 19900 Stevens Creek Boulevard. The proposal
envisions increasing the square footage of the existing commercial space to 28,125 square feet
and changing the use from retail to office. According to the GPA application, the applicant has
been in negotiations with two potential end users, a business start-up incubator and a medical
office operation. The supporting table set below presents the analysis of the business start-up
incubator. Analysis of the medical office and existing use rely on the same basic methodology.
Table 4 presents the proposed GPA program identified by the applicant. The table also presents
EPS assumptions concerning the population and employment that would be supported by the
project at buildout. A variety of revenues and costs included in this fiscal analysis are based on
the anticipated “service population” which weights a local employee’s service burden at 50
percent of a resident’s burden.
Table 4 Development Program and Service Population
General Fund Revenues
General Fund tax proceeds attributable to the proposed GPA will include sales tax, property tax,
property tax in lieu of vehicle license fee (VLF), property transfer tax, utility user tax, franchise
fees, and business licenses. Table 5 provides a summary of the Cupertino 2015-16 Adopted
General Fund revenue budget and a description of the forecasting method relied upon for each
relevant revenue source.

Retail Sales Tax Revenue
The proposed GPA is expected to generate retail sales tax revenue accruing to the City of
Cupertino through the daily project employee spending on retail goods and services in the City of
Cupertino.1 This analysis estimates worker spending based on spending patterns reported in the
Office-Worker Retail Spending in a Digital Age, a research publication from the International
Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC).2 These survey data were reviewed to identify taxable
spending. The analysis estimates that each office worker spends about $6,000 annually on
taxable sales in the vicinity of their workplace.3 Because this spending is known to be near work,
this analysis assumes that 50 percent of the taxable spending by project workers occurs within
the city boundary. The taxable spending captured in Cupertino is multiplied by the number of
workers supported by the proposed project. Taxable sales in Cupertino are subject to a sales tax
rate of 8.75 percent. However, only 1 percentage point of the sales tax accrues to the City’s
General Fund, while the rest goes to the State and other public entities.

Retail Spending in a Digital Age,” 2012. Accessed online at:
https://www.downtowndevelopment.com/pdf/icsc-report_office-worker-spending.pdf
3 The analysis assumes that retail workers spend less, a factor that applies to the estimated fiscal
impact of the existing retail store (i.e., baseline estimate).

Property Tax Revenue
Property tax revenue is based on the estimated assessed value of the proposed project. Relying
on the applicant’s proposed development program, EPS estimates the project’s assessed value at
$14.17 million at buildout, as shown in Table 7. Since there is no indication that the property
will turn over, a complete reassessment of the land and improvements will not be triggered by
the Santa Clara County Office of the Assessor. Rather, the value of the interior improvements to
accommodate the use modification and the value of the additional construction will be estimated
by the County Assessor’s Office and added to the existing value of the property.4 The City’s
General Fund captures 5.8 percent of the base 1.0 percent property tax rate. This tax rate factor
is specific to the tax rate area that covers the project location.
Table 7 Property Tax Revenue
4 Note that the applicant’s proposal indicates roughly $7.7 million in improvement cost while our
analysis relies on typical office fit out and construction cost estimates which total $1.1 million.

Property Tax In Lieu of VLF
In 2004, the State of California adjusted the method for sharing VLF with local jurisdictions.
Recent State budget changes replaced the VLF with property tax, which grows proportionately
with increases in assessed value of the City. The proposed project will add about 0.07 percent to
the current assessed value in Cupertino (assuming no other assessed value growth for
simplification purposes) and will generate the same increased percentage in in-lieu VLF revenues
(see Table 7).
Property Transfer Tax
The project will generate real estate transfer tax revenue associated with future turnover in
ownership. This analysis assumes that ownership of all land use types will turnover every 25
years, an annual turnover rate of 4.0 percent.5 Unlike existing property tax for this project, the
transfer tax will be based on market value of the property achieved in a transaction. The
property transfer tax rate accruing to the City General Fund is $0.55 per $1,000 of the property
value, as shown in Table 8.
Table 8 Property Transfer Tax Revenue
5 For institutional investors of commercial real estate a typical holding period is five to seven years
(Ciochetti and Fisher, 2002). This analysis assumes a significantly longer holding period due to the
property tax benefits of long-term ownership in California.

Utility Tax
The City of Cupertino collects tax revenue on utility charges for services provided in the City.
New residents and employees will expand the use of utilities in the City. This analysis estimates
an average monthly utility expense of $120 per employee. The City of Cupertino collects 3.4
percent of utility charges. Table 9 presents utility user tax revenue attributable to the proposed
project at buildout.
Table 9 Utility User Tax Revenue
Revenues from Other Taxes and Fees
In addition to the key revenues described above, other taxes and fees are estimated to be
generated by the project. Specifically, EPS forecasts additional business-to-business sales for
office uses, new franchise fees, and new business license revenues generated by commercial
activity associated with the project. This analysis assumes that office uses generate an average
of roughly $20 per square foot in business-to-business sales, which translates to $0.20 per
square foot in sales tax revenue.6 This assumption is reflective of a typical office tenant in the
Silicon Valley and is believed to hold true for business start-up incubators. Franchise fee revenue
and business license revenue reflect averages derived from City budget documents (see Table
5). Table 10 presents forecasting assumptions and revenue estimates.
6 Business-to-business sales and tax revenue estimates reflect the findings of prior EPS analyses
conducted in Menlo Park and Palo Alto.

Table 10 Revenue from Other Taxes and Fees
General Fund Expenditures
This fiscal analysis estimates the costs attributable to employment growth by characterizing how
expenses will change for each City department. For some departments, employment growth in
the City will not dramatically alter operations. For example, administrative functions in the City
are not likely to scale up significantly to accommodate new projects. Alternatively, departments
that provide services directly to businesses likely will increase their operations and costs to
accommodate new employment.
It is important to note that a range of external factors may influence responses to growth and
cost effects in the future. Examples of factors that are beyond the control of the City and its
departments that may act to magnify or reduce department costs over time include the
following:
regional growth
technology
state and federal policies
environmental factors
This study does not speculate regarding the potential effects of such exogenous influences on the
general fund expense budget. It focuses only on those factors attributable directly to the
employment growth and land use changes generated by the proposed GPA.
The fiscal analysis model relies on categorization of the likely budgetary response to employment
growth for each department. The anticipated response to growth is expressed for fiscal modeling
purposes in terms of “fixed expenses” and “variable expenses” within the department budget.
The fixed expenses are the portion of a City department’s budget which is not affected by
population and employment growth. Even a department which is anticipated to grow largely in
step with the City’s service population likely would have some fixed cost. For example, in most

Cupertino GPA Fiscal Impact Review Page 11

cases each department has only one director position, which is a fixed expense for the
department. While the department may increase staffing to accommodate growth, the
department will not add another director.
The variable expenses of a department are those that do increase with growth. As the City
grows, increased demand for services requires some departments to scale up operations to meet
new demand. The portion of a department’s budget that scales up is identified as the variable
share of the budget.
EPS uses a per-capita average cost approach to estimate department costs attributable to new
residents and workers. The variable portion of each department budget is used to determine the
per-capita cost, as shown in Table 11. Then, to determine the new General Fund expenditures
generated by the proposed project, the per-capita factors are multiplied by the projected
increase in service population. Public Affairs and Non-Departmental expenditures are not
estimated because the project is not expected to generate new ongoing costs to these service
providers.

Fiscal Impact of Proposed Project
Table 12 summarizes the fiscal impact of business start-up incubator alternative on the City of
Cupertino’s General Fund, with forecasted revenues and expenditure estimates based on the
methodology described above. EPS estimates that General Fund revenues resulting from the
proposed business start-up incubator will match the General Fund costs associated with
providing ongoing services to the project.

Fiscal Impact of Existing Uses
In order to quantify the fiscal impact of the existing retail use located at 19900 Stevens Creek
Boulevard, the same fiscal methodology is applied to existing land use program as the proposed
GPA. The site currently is occupied by a 26,000 square foot Scandinavian Designs furniture
store. The site’s existing conditions provide a positive fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund of
about $36,000 a year, as shown in Table 13.7
Table 13 Summary of Fiscal Impact Analysis – Existing Conditions
7 This analysis relies on the applicant’s reported $2.56 million in retail sales at the existing store. City
review of taxable sales data indicates actual retail sales likely are higher, and thus the actual fiscal
benefit of the existing use is higher than reported here.

Net Fiscal Impact
The proposed land use modification from retail to office, specifically a business start-up
incubator, will result in an annual net fiscal burden to the City of Cupertino General Fund. This
analysis estimates that the net annual fiscal impact of the GPA proposal on the City’s General
Fund is approximately -$36,000, as shown in Table 14. The net increase in General Fund
revenues from the project at buildout is estimated at roughly $3,000 more annually than the
existing use. The net increase in General Fund expenditures associated with the Project is
estimated at approximately $39,000 per year more than the existing use.

Relevant policies from the Economic
Development Strategic Plan (EDSP)
4.1 Allow for the conversion of underutilized ground floor retail space to incubator or co-
working uses.
There are a number of underutilized retail sites (such as second-floor retail space and spaces
located to the side or rear of a property) that could be converted to smaller co-working spaces or
incubators. Note that the conversion of some existing retail buildings may require property
owners to make investments in infrastructure or building improvements to serve such businesses.

2. Approve the Mid-Year adjustments for FY 2016-17 as described in the Mid-Year

3. Adopt a resolution approving Mid-Year budget adjustments
Background
On June 6, 2016, the City Council adopted the Fiscal Year (FY) 2016-17 Budget, a $133.2
million spending plan for the City of Cupertino. On November 15, 2016, Council
received an update on the City’s spending plan as part of the City Manager’s First
Quarter Financial Report, which revised the budget to account for encumbrances and
carryover expenditure appropriations from FY 2015-16 of $38,091,854. Council
approved $10,239,848 in additional expenditures in the first two quarters of the FY
mostly related to Apple Campus 2 contracts and negotiated salary and benefit increases.
This resulted in an amended budget of $181,564,052. These FY 2016-17 budget
adjustments are summarized in the table below:

Discussion
The Mid-Year Financial Report focuses on the status of the City’s budget as of
December 31, 2016, and recommends adjustments to ensure the budget reflects the
270
2
City’s current revenue outlook and is responsive to changing spending priorities. As
shown in the chart below, $17,088,519 in budget adjustments are being requested, of
which $15,000,000 involves a transfer of excess fund balance to the Capital Reserve per
the City’s Reserve and One Time Use Policy. If approved, the City’s new spending plan
would total $198,652,571 across all funds.

Revenue
The City received a one-time payment of $3.5 million dollars in sales tax due to the close
out of the Triple Flip as discussed as part of the First Quarter report. In addition,
revised estimates on property taxes from the County anticipate that the City will receive
an additional $2 million dollars in FY 2016-17. The City also received construction tax
revenue for numerous buildings at Apple Campus 2, thus resulting in an additional
$600,000 in revenue. Lastly, an additional $120,000 in Use of Money and Property
revenue was received due to proactive investing by the City in addition to an increase
in interest rates. In total, staff is recommending to increase budgeted revenues in the
General Fund by $7.8 million.
Expenditures
As of Mid-Year, several General Fund departments are requesting adjustments totaling
$16.95 million. These requests include staffing, an auditor contract, a business license
module, a cellular capacity/coverage study, bank service charges, an irrigation
controller settlement, soundwall damage reimbursement, Ash Whitefly treatment in
Rancho Rinconada, City Hall elevator repair, park pump repair and control panel
replacement, and a contribution in lieu for planned transportation project . These
requests would be funded by increases in revenue and General Fund unassigned fund
balance. The bulk of the request involves the transfer of $15 million in excess fund
balance to the Capital Reserve per the City’s Reserve and One Time Use Policy. These
requests are summarized in the table below:

17 First Quarter Report the City updated its year-end projections for FY 2015-16 to
$44.27 million in fund balance in the General Fund, an increase of $13 million due to
decreased actual expenditures and increased revenue received. The City, based on
unaudited final numbers, is anticipated to end the 2015-16 Fiscal Year with $52.2 million
in fund balance in the General Fund. This results in an additional $7.93 million over the
first quarter projections and a total of $20.93 million higher than projected as of the
third quarter. As part of the First Quarter Report the City anticipated making the
following recommendations at Mid-Year:
1. Transfer approximately $3.5 million in fund balance to the Capital Reserve to
fund future years of the Capital Improvement Plan
2. Use of approximately $6 million in fund balance to cover year-end
encumbrances, budget carryovers, and City Council approval on budget
adjustments; including those related to the newly negotiated salary and benefit
increases
At Mid-Year, staff has revised its recommendations as follows:
1. Transfer $15 million in fund balance to the Capital Reserve to fund future years
of the Capital Improvement Plan
273
5
2. Increase the assigned encumbrance reserve by $5 million to account for an
increase in encumbrances due to additional contract expenses and changes to
existing contracts
If approved, the changes above would result in an anticipated year-end fund balance of
$40.54 million in the General Fund for FY 2016-17 as shown in the table below, of which
$6.57 million would be unassigned. Total projected fund balance is derived by taking
actual fund balance as of year-end + (amended budget revenues minus expenses) +
(recommended adjustments to revenues minus expenses in this staff report).
$52.19 + ($2.54) + ($9.11) = $40.54

Staffing
Currently, the city has a total of 186.75 FTEs. As of Mid-Year, staff is requesting one
additional full-time position - the conversion of two part-time Business Systems
Analysts to full-time positions for the Information Services Department. If approved,
this would bring the full-time benefited employee count to 187.75. It should be noted
that the request would result in both existing Business Systems Analyst positions being
benefitted.
Business Systems Analysts
Recently, Information Services (IS) was restructured to place enhanced focus on the
City’s software applications. A team of one full-time benefitted and two part-time
Business Systems Analysts are responsible for research, analysis, user acceptance
testing, implementation and maintenance of these applications. Recent success in
enhancing business processes, implementing new applications and stabilizing once
troublesome systems are results of this team’s talents. The results this team has
achieved can be seen not only in the gained efficiencies Citywide but also in the tangible
cost savings of over $400,000 in the current fiscal year alone. Due to this talented team,
the City has been able to cut back significantly on contract assistance for applications
and it has built a budget document preparation software from scratch. The team is
making great strides, but requires additional resources to keep pace with current and
projected workload. IS requests that both current part-time positions be converted to
274
6
full-time benefitted positions – resulting in a net gain of one FTE. The addition will
continue the team’s success as the City implements new large scale systems for
recreation and permitting, adds additional transparency to City data and creates a new
website for the City.
Performance Measures
Updated performance measures that align with government and private industry best
practices have been included in the Mid-Year Financial Report. Staff will continue to
provide updates to Council on the performance measures as part of the quarterly
budget reports and the proposed and final budgets. Attachment C represents the status
of the performance measures as of Mid-Year.
Conclusion
City staff recommends adjustments of $17,088,519 in appropriations and $22,974,932 in
projected revenue resulting in $5,886,413 added to fund balance across all funds. Staff
will continue to monitor the 2016-17 FY Amended Budget and be prepared to make
recommendations and changes based on business needs and Council priorities before
June 30, 2017 to ensure that the City ends the year within budgeted appropriations.

MID-YEAR REPORT
The following is the Mid-Year Financial Report for the period of July 2016-December 2016 for the 2016-2017 Fiscal
Year. It has been prepared to inform the City Council, City leadership and the public of the City’s financial status
at the mid-point of this fiscal year. The report provides revenue and expenditure summaries and recommends
adjustments needed to City budgets since the adoption of the Final Budget in June 2016.
BACKGROUND
On June 6, 2016, the City Council adopted the Fiscal Year (FY) 2016-17 Budget, a $133.2 million
spending plan for the City of Cupertino. On November 15, 2016, Council received an update on the
City’s spending plan as part of the City Manager’s First Quarter Financial Report, which revised the
budget to account for encumbrances and carryover expenditure appropriations from FY 2015-16 of
$38,091,854. Council approved $10,239,848 in additional expenditures in the first two quarters of the FY
mostly related to Apple Campus 2 contracts and negotiated salary and benefit increases. This resulted
in an amended budget of $181,564,052.

Revenues
General Fund—General Fund Revenue Five Year Comparison
The City received a one-time payment of $3.5 million dollars in sales tax due to the close out of the Triple
Flip as discussed as part of the First Quarter report. In addition, revised estimates on property taxes
from the County anticipate that the City will receive an additional $2 million dollars in FY 2016-17. The
City also received construction tax revenue for numerous buildings at Apple Campus 2, thus resulting in
an additional $600,000 in revenue. Lastly, an additional $120,000 in Use of Money and Pr operty revenue
was received due to proactive investing by the City in addition to an increase in interest rates. In total ,
staff is recommending to increase budgeted revenues in the General Fund by $7.8 million.

GENERAL FUND TRENDS
As of December 31, 2016, General Fund
expenditures are $34.7 million; this
represents 35% of the budgeted
appropriations. Expenditures at the Mid-
Year point of the prior three years were
between 41% and 44% of the final actual
expenditures, placing this year below the
range. This is primarily due to the timing
of expenditures in Capital Outlays and
Special Projects being completed later in
this fiscal year than in previous fiscal
years. General Fund revenues are at $38.4
million; this represents 39% of the budgeted revenue. Revenues at the Mid-Year point of the prior three
years were between 29% and 58%, placing this year within the range.
The City, based on unaudited final numbers, is anticipated to end the 2015-16 Fiscal Year with $52.2
million in fund balance in the General Fund. This results in an additional $7.93 million over the first
quarter projections and a total of $20.93 million higher than projected as of the third quarter. As part of
the First Quarter Report the City anticipated making the following recommendations at Mid-Year:
Transfer approximately $3.5 million in fund balance to the Capital Reserve to fund future years of
the Capital Improvement Plan
Use of approximately $6 million in fund balance to cover year-end encumbrances, budget
carryovers, and City Council approval on budget adjustments; including those related to the newly
negotiated salary and benefit increases
At Mid-Year, staff has revised its recommendations as follows:
Transfer $15 million in fund balance to the Capital Reserve to fund future years of the Capital
Improvement Plan
General Fund - Fund Balance
278
Increase the assigned encumbrance reserve by $5 million to account for an increase in
encumbrances due to additional contract expenses and changes to existing contracts
If approved, the changes above would result in an anticipated year-end of fund balance of $40.54 million
in the General Fund for FY 2016-17 as shown in the table below, of which $6.57 million would be
unassigned. Total projected fund balance is derived by taking actual fund balance as of year-end +
(amended budget revenues minus expenses) + (recommended adjustments to revenues minus expenses
in this staff report) $52.19 + ($2.54) + ($9.11) = $40.54.

Discussion
The State of California has experienced a period of sustained, significant rains. On
February 14, 2017, the Federal Government approved the State of California’s Major
Disaster Declaration for the severe winter storms, flooding and mudslides that occurred
from January 3, 2017, to January 12, 2017. Since the Federal Disaster Declaration,
Cupertino has continued to experience significant rain, resulting in further damage.
Many other portions of the State have also experience further damage, which has
resulted in the State contemplating an additional Declaration of Disaster for the period
of February 13, 2017 to February 22, 2017, more specifically designated the “President’s
Day Storm Event”.
Due to this storm event, on or around February 20, 2017, the road base along a portion
of Regnart Road was washed away, resulting in a section of road that has been
undermined. The City maintenance crews set up traffic control devices to direct cars
307

away from the destabilized section of roadway. The undermined section of roadway is
a clear and imminent danger, requiring immediate action to prevent or mitigate the loss
of essential public services to the residents in the Regnart Canyon area. The emergency
will not permit a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation for bids, and immediate
action is necessary to respond to the emergency and to prevent further destruction of
the roadway.
As Regnart Road is the only reasonable means of access for approximately 50 residences
along Regnart Road and Regnart Canyon Drive, the Public Works Department needs to
ensure that the road remains open and is repaired as quickly as possible.
Declaring the road repairs as Emergency Work and authorizing the City Manager to
negotiate and execute a contract through a non-competitive bidding process will permit
the Public Works Department to streamline the construction of the repairs, reducing the
potential for any impacts to the residents who live beyond the compromised section of
road. It further allows the City to make repairs necessary to prevent additional
deterioration of the roadway.
The City Council may delegate to the City Manager, through a resolution passed by a
four-fifths vote, the authority to cause the repair of a public facility and to take any
immediate action required by an emergency, without giving notice for bids to let
contracts.
Sustainability Impact
There is no sustainability impact.
Fiscal Impact
An amount not to exceed $350,000 to facilitate the repair of the roadway.
