Subject: Public Records Request. 2011 LAFCO annexation offer to Cupertino.
To: City Clerk <cityclerk@cupertino.org>
Cc: City Council <citycouncil@cupertino.org>
Dear City Clerk
At the July 31, 2018 Council Meeting, Councilman Chang said that the City had an opportunity to annex the
Quarry, but there was no interest at the time. I presume Councilman Chang was referring to the opportunity
presented by the 2011 letter from LAFCO to the City.
Refer to the attached letter from LAFCO to the Aarti Shrivastava dated June 2, 2011. The letter encouraged the
City to annex 5 urban islands in the City's "Urban Service Area." The third of the islands was the cement plant
portion of the Lehigh Permanente Quarry.
I would like:
1. All records and communication between the City (staff and elected officials) and LAFCO regarding the
annexation of any of the parcels mentioned in the May 2, 2011 letter from LAFCO to Aarti Shrivastava.
2. Any records regarding the June 2, 2011 meeting between the City and LAFCO. This meeting was mentioned
in the June 1, 2011 LAFCO Meeting"
Agenda. http://www.santaclaralafco.org/images/resumes/agenda_packet/20110601_2011Jun01.pdf
3. All records and communication between City Staff and members of the City Council regarding the parcels
mentioned in the June 2, 2011 letter.
4. any documents from public meetings regarding the parcels mentioned in the June 2, 2011 letter.
CC 08-21-2018 Item No. 1

The timeframe would be from October 2010 through October 2012 inclusive.
Please feel free to redact or withhold anything you feel you are entitled to, but I would like to know what and
why anything is redacted or withheld.
I would like the documents in electronic form, but if that isn't possible, please let me know when I can come by
to view the documents.
Thank you,
Randy Shingai

RE: Status of Unincorporated Lands within the City of Cupertino's Urban
Service Area (Unincorporated Islands)
Dear Ms. Shrivastava:
In late October 2010, the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) of Santa
Clara County directed its staff to develop an inventory of the remaining
unincorporated islands within each city's urban service area and to report back
to the Commission on each city's plans regarding its islands.
Five Unincorporated Islands Remain in the City of Cupertino
The City of Cupertino has a long history of annexing unincorporated islands,
having successfully annexed several large populated islands over the last 15
years. As a result, only five islands (see table below and attached maps) still
remain in the City's Urban Service Area (USA).

Annex Islands that Qualify for the Streamlined Annexation Process
CP02 (i.e. Creston) is approximately 51.3 acres and consists primarily of private
residential development and is eligible for annexation through the streamlined
annexation process. Islands such as Creston, are substantially developed and
create inefficiencies I confusion in terms of provision of emergency and other
municipal services. Furthermore, residents of such islands are politically
disenfranchised from the city government that surrounds them.
Annexation of such islands is a high priority for LAFCO and the County. In
order to encourage these annexations, LAFCO continues to waive its fees for
island annexations and the County continues to provide financial incentives
including covering the costs for preparing Assessor and Surveyor reports and
maps, paying the State Board of Equalization filing fees, and budgeting for road
improvements in islands approved for annexation. As you may be aware, the
law streamlining the annexation process for qualified unincorporated islands
sunsets on January 1, 2014.
We encourage the City to take advantage of this process and the incentives
currently being offered by both the County and LAFCO for such annexations.
Please provide us with an update on the City's plans and time-line for annexing
Creston.
Review Remaining Islands
In terms of the City's four other remaining islands (CPOl, CP03, CP04, and
CPOS), please review these islands that may or may not qualify for the
streamlined annexation process, and determine whether the City intends to
retain them within the City's USA boundary for eventual annexation.
For those islands that the City intends to retain in its USA, please explain what
the City's rationale is for retaining them in its USA and when the City plans to
annex them.
For those areas not appropriate for eventual annexation, the City should consider
whether to exclude these areas from its USA. Please contact LAFCO staff to
discuss the USA amendment process and time-line for resolving these islands.
A Response is Greatly Appreciated
LAFCO staff is willing to work with and assist the City in resolving these island
issues. We would appreciate knowing the City's annexation and/or urban
