City Council3/19/2019 1 Subject: City Work Program for FY 2019-20 Review and provide direction on City Work Program for FY 2019-20 CITY OF CUPERTINO Printed on 3/13/2019Page 1 of 1 powered by Legistar™8 ` CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Staff Meeting: March 19, 2019 Subject City Work Program for FY 2019-20 Recommended Action Review and provide direction on City Work Program for FY 2019-20. Discussion The City’s Work Program guides the major efforts of City staff for the upcoming fiscal year. The Work Program ensures that staff efforts are aligned with and driven by the Mayor and Council, and thus, the community. This approach keeps the City transparent and holds us accountable to focusing resources on strategies that best serve our community’s needs and aspirations. Each year, staff reports on the progress of the City’s Work Program assignments and, with feedback and ideas proposed at the City Council’s Priority Setting Session, proposes new projects for Council consideration. The proposed FY 2019-20 Work Program is not organized by City departments, but is instead organized by six over-arching themes:  Smart City  Community Livability  Financial Sustainability  Public Engagement and Transparency  Operational Efficiency  Public and Private Partnerships In prior years, the detailed Work Program listed specific projects, objectives, progress, next steps, current status, and the lead staff/department. This year, staff has also included information regarding the estimated total budget, expenses to date, estimated staff hours required, and performance goals for each item. While in many cases these values are rough estimations, this additional information was included to assist Council’s evaluation of the items. The FY 2019-20 Work Program reports on two scheduled projects, 9 seven on hold projects, 16 proposed projects, and 43 projects that are in progress (Attachment A). There were also 14 projects that were completed from the FY 2018-19 Work Program and two projects that were cancelled which are outlined in Attachment B. At the Priority Setting Session on February 2, 2019, Council prioritized 30 initiatives for potential inclusion in the Work Program. While we anticipate that next year a different scoring system will be used by Council to rank the Work Program ideas, the Priority Setting Session this year was still very helpful. It allowed staff to hear discussions from the public and the Council and get a general understanding of the relative importance of initiatives from the entire Council. Staff combined the items from the Priority Setting Session with ongoing initiatives while accounting for available resources within each area of the organization to formulate the attached, recommended FY 2019-20 Work Program (Attachment A). Staff included the majority of the Priority Setting Session items, however, the following were not included:  City Webpages for High Profile Projects or Issues o Reason: This is a part of ongoing, daily operations and will be incorporated into the regular tasks of the Public Affairs division.  Climate Action Plan 2.0 o Reason: This was ranked relatively low at the Priority Setting Session and, given the resources required, this will be deferred to a future year.  Climate Adaptation Plan o Reason: This was ranked relatively low in the Priority Setting Session and, given the resources required, this will be deferred to a future year.  Event Support for Tournament of Bands o Reason: City funding to cover the Sheriff costs for the Tournament of Bands was a budget item that was already included in the FY 2018-19 budget. It will be included in the proposed FY 2019-20 budget in May. Analysis and review of the City’s policies regarding the support of nonprofits is included in the Work Program item titled “Policies on Nonprofit Support.”  Financial Impacts of CASA Compact o Reason: This effort is currently being worked on and is anticipated to be completed prior to the new fiscal year.  Mental Health Initiatives o Reason: This was ranked relatively low in the Priority Setting Session. A focus on teen mental health initiatives will continue, along with initiatives independently initiated by the Teen Commission and in the Work Program item titled “Teen Engagement.” 10  Urban Villages o Reason: Staff has very limited ability to regulate or reach agreements to prevent inappropriate or unmitigated upzoning with other jurisdictions that may impact Cupertino. Staff will be vigilant to monitor and provide appropriately timed comments and meet with other jurisdictions to optimize outcomes.  Vacancy Tax o Reason: This was the lowest ranking priority item. When considering staff resources, other items were chosen to be prioritized and included. Staff will monitor the success of similar initiatives underway in Vancouver and other cities. It is important to note that while this Work Program would not start until July 2019, many of the estimated schedules are dependent on filling key positions within the City. Staff plans to bring a status update on the Work Program in January 2020 in anticipation of the Priority Setting Session that will occur in the following month. Additionally, the Planning Commission has proposed items for the FY 2019-20 Work Program which are outlined in Attachment C. Many of the Planning Commission’s proposed items are already included in the proposed Work Program. There are also items that are not resource intensive that could be included in the Commission’s Work Program but don’t need to be included in the City Work Program. The Planning Commission will be prioritizing these items at a special meeting on Monday, March 18 th, 2019 in order to provide a prioritized list as a desk item for the Council. Staff will add items to the Work Program as directed by Council. In the past, there has been inconsistency in how commissions develop their own work programs. The coming year will be a transition to a more formal process that will include having all commission work program ideas submitted for the City Council to consider at their Priority Setting Session in 2020. Fiscal Impact The fiscal impact of proposed projects and assignments in the City Work Program will be brought forward as part of the FY 2019-20 Proposed Budget in May. _____________________________________ Prepared and Approved for Submission by: Timm Borden, Interim City Manager Attachments: A.

Senior Housing Planner Kerri Heusler reviewed the staff report. Staff answered questions from Council. Mayor Scharf opened public comment and the following individual spoke: Jennifer Griffin Mayor Scharf closed public comment. Council provided comments on the Cities Association of Santa Clara County Draft Housing Policy Statement: • Highlight acute jobs to housing imbalances and a deficient public transportation network as key factors exacerbating the affordable housing crisis. • Any state initiative that will further exacerbate the jobs/housing imbalance is going down the wrong path. • Specifically refer to an “affordable housing crisis” rather than a “housing crisis” given the acute need for more affordable housing—not more luxury housing. Add policies: • Balance the jobs to housing ratio across the region. • Require cities to disclose existing jobs to housing ratio as part of annual housing reports and in relation to each project proposed. • State action should promote efficacy and strive to improve and refine, rather than remove, the local entitlement process. • Remove barriers to adequate school and park funding. • Adopt a higher, regional employee head tax on businesses to help fund affordable housing. • Strengthen and expand public transportation. Support for certain statements: • Agree with opposition to any effort to take away property taxes from cities to 52 generate new funding for housing • Support recommendation to have ABAG fulfill the role of administering new affordable housing funds and monitor housing production, rather than creating a new regional agency. Clarify certain statements: • “Removal of regulatory barriers to building new accessory dwelling units” and “thoughtful CEQA reform” are too broad. • Do not support every “new funding sources dedicated to housing.” • Do not favor new sales taxes because they are regressive. • Oppose Governor Newsom’s funding package approach to the extent that it would tie transportation funding to housing production. • Do not support all ideas included within the Compact. • Clarify language within the introduction to work with the cities on the “idea s” contained within the Compact. Reorganize and Strengthen the Statement: • Could benefit from a comprehensive reorganization and framing of the issues once all comments are received. • Structure to include an introduction, statement of intention, summary of actions cities in Santa Clara County have taken to address the housing shortage, statements of support for certain policy actions, statements in opposition of certain policy actions, and a conclusion. • Add a discussion on how cities are already entitling their Regional Housing Needs Assessment (“RHNA”) requirements. • Recognize that cities can capture the value of upzoning by requiring new housing, in ways that the state cannot. • Funding for affordable housing should come before state efforts to upzone.

CITY OF CUPERTINO Printed on 3/13/2019Page 1 of 1 powered by Legistar™55 PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT CITY HALL 10 10300 TORRE AVENUE • CUPERTINO, CA 95014-3255 TELEPHONE: (408) 777-3354 www.cupertino.org CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Meeting: March 19, 2019 Subject Consider entering into a funding agreement with Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) to allow the City of Cupertino to receive 2016 Measure B funds for expenditure on street improvement projects within the City that qualify under the Measure B Local Streets and Roads Program (LS&R). Recommended Actions Authorize the City Manager to enter into a funding agreement with Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) for the 2016 Measure B Local Streets and Roads Program. Background On November 8, 2016, Santa Clara County voters passed 2016 Measure B (“Measure B”), a 30-year, half-cent sales tax measure funding transportation projects in the following nine program areas: Local Streets and Roads; BART Phase II; Bicycle and Pedestrian; Caltrain Grade Separation; Caltrain Corridor Capacity Improvements; Highway Interchanges; County Expressways; State Route 85 Corridor; and Transit Operations. Collection of the tax revenue began on April 1, 2017. A lawsuit challenging the validity of Measure B was filed in 2017. However, recently the California Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal on the legal challenge. This authorized the lower court, which also ruled against the challenge, to allow VTA to disperse the tax revenue, which has been accumulating in escrow, as of January 30, 2019. Discussion The first of several requisite Measure B funding agreements is for the Local Streets and Roads Program. As stated in the adopted Local Streets and Roads Program Guidelines, all Santa Clara County member agencies are required to demonstrate that funds a re used to enhance and not replace their current investments for road system maintenance and repair. The program also requires the member agencies to apply Complete Streets best practices in order to improve bicycle and pedestrian elements of the street s ystem. This includes implementation of “Complete Streets” elements. Funds may be used for 56 planning, maintenance, reconstruction, minor enhancements and preservation of multi- modal roadway infrastructure. If a member agency has a Pavement Condition Index score of 70 or higher, it may use the funds for congestion relief projects. As the Cupertino street network pavement condition index is currently 85, Measure B funds will predominantly fund bicycle and pedestrian improvements as authorized in the capital improvement budget. The Local Streets and Roads Program is projected to provide $1.2 billion (in 2017 dollars) in total funds to all member agencies. Member agencies will receive funds annually on a formula-based distribution through March 31, 2047, in addition to a one- time advance equivalent to the member agencies’ formula allocation of tax revenue collections made from April 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017. For the City of Cupertino, this one-time funding allocation is $271,115. Funding allocation for each fiscal year, starting July 1, 2017, will be based upon the City’s percentage share of the population or road mileage, as applicable, applied to the VTA Board of Directors Adopted Biennial Budget for the LS&R category. VTA provided the set amount of funding that will be received for the period of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018 and for FY18/19. For the City of Cupertino, these amounts will be $1,137,397 per year and will be eligible for work performed within those fiscal years. Additionally, any unused funds may be banked to be used for the following fiscal year. More detail of the funding formula can be found in Section 5 of the funding agreement. Sustainability Impact Maintaining and preserving the City’s local streets and roads system in good co ndition will reduce drive times and traffic congestion, improve bicycle safety, and make the pedestrian experience safer and more appealing, which leads to reduced vehicle emissions helping the City achieve its air quality and greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals. Fiscal Impact Upon execution of the funding agreement, the City will receive a one -time advance of $271,115 for April 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017 and formulaic funds annually through March 31, 2047 that will be available on a reimbursement basis. This will include reimbursement of $1,137,397 for FY17/18 and FY18/19, respectively. _____________________________________ Prepared by: Jennifer Chu, Associate Civil Engineer Reviewed by: Roger Lee, Acting Director of Public Works Approved for Submission by: Timm Borden, Interim City Manager Attachments: A – Draft Funding Agreement 1095937.1 57 Rev 02/2019 Page 1 of 9 FUNDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CUPERTINO AND THE SANTA CLARA VALLEY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY FOR 2016 MEASURE B LOCAL STREETS AND ROADS PROGRAM THIS AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is between the CITY OF CUPERTINO, a “Member Agency,” referred to herein as “RECIPIENT,” and the SANTA CLARA VALLEY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY, referred to herein as “VTA.” Hereinafter, RECIPIENT and VTA may be individually referred to as “Party” or collectively referred to as “Parties.” I. RECITALS 1. Whereas, on June 24, 2016, the VTA Board of Directors adopted a resolution to place a ballot measure before the voters of Santa Clara County in November 2016 to authorize a one-half of one percent retail transaction and use tax (“2016 MEASURE B”) for 30 years for nine transportation-related program categories; and 2. Whereas, on November 8, 2016, the voters of Santa Clara County enacted 2016 MEASURE B for 30 years to pay for the nine transportation-related program categories; and 3. Whereas, on October 5, 2017, the VTA Board of Directors established the 2016 Measure B Program (“PROGRAM”) and adopted the 2016 Measure B Program Category Guidelines; and 4. Whereas, the PROGRAM includes a “Local Streets and Roads” program category consisting of a return- to-source formula based on city populations and County of Santa Clara’s road and expressway lane mileage; and 5. Whereas, the duration of 2016 MEASURE B will be 30 years from the initial year of collection, beginning April 1, 2017, and continuing through March 31, 2047; and 6. Whereas, VTA and RECIPIENT desire to specify herein the terms and conditions under which the Local Streets and Roads program category (“LS&R CATEGORY”) 2016 MEASURE B revenues will be administered by VTA as directed by the VTA Board of Directors; and 7. Whereas, VTA has established a manual for purposes of documenting administrative requirements related to LS&R CATEGORY funds disbursement and expenditure (“VTA LS&R Program Manual”). NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows: Attachment A 58 Rev 02/2019 Page 2 of 9 II. AGREEMENT 1. LS&R CATEGORY PROGRAM DEFINITION The LS&R CATEGORY covers the entirety of public right-of-way and infrastructure, including, but not limited to, pavement, sidewalk, signals, signage, drainage, and pedestrian and public transit amenities. 2. TERM OF AGREEMENT The term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date (as defined in the signature block below) and continue through March 31, 2047, or until LS&R CATEGORY funds allocated to RECIPIENT have been expended entirely, whichever occurs later. 3. ELIGIBLE USE OF FUNDS RECIPIENT is permitted to use RECIPIENT’s allocated LS&R CATEGORY funds for any phase (including but not limited to planning, construction, etc.) and any cost of the maintenance, rehabilitation, reconstruction, minor improvements of, minor enhancements of, and preservation of multi-modal roadway infrastructure. This includes implementation of “Complete Streets” elements. See Attachment A for a definition of Complete Streets. If RECIPIENT has achieved a jurisdictional average Pavement Condition Index (“PCI”) of 70, RECIPIENT may use funds for other congestion relief projects as permitted by 2016 MEASURE B. Only LS&R CATEGORY costs incurred on or after July 1, 2017, will be eligible for reimbursement. 4. DESIGN STANDARDS RECIPIENT’S project(s) proposed hereunder must incorporate Complete Streets design, including, but not limited to, best practice design standards and guidelines, such as those published by VTA (e.g. Bicycle Technical Guidelines, Pedestrian Technical Guidelines, and Community, Design, and Transportation Manual), Institute of Transportation Engineers (e.g. Designing Walkable Urban Thoroughfares), American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (e.g. Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities), National Association of City Transportation Officials (e.g. Urban Street Design Guide, Urban Bikeway Design Guide, Transit Street Design Guide), and Caltrans (e.g. Class IV Bikeway Guidance (Separated Bikeways/Cycle Tracks)). 5. FUNDING ALLOCATIONS a. RECIPIENT’S funding allocation for each fiscal year, starting July 1, 2017, will be based upon RECIPIENT’s percentage share of the population or road mileage, as applicable, applied to the VTA Board of Directors Adopted Biennial Budget for the LS&R CATEGORY. b. The LS&R CATEGORY annual fund distribution formula is calculated every two fiscal years (in line with VTA’s budget cycle; a fiscal year begins July 1 and ends June 30) and is based on the following: 59 Rev 02/2019 Page 3 of 9 i. First, at the same time that VTA plans and finalizes its budget for the two upcoming fiscal years, the VTA Board of Directors determines the allocation of 2016 MEASURE B funds for the two upcoming fiscal years. ii. Second, the VTA Board of Directors determines the amount of 2016 MEASURE B funds to be allocated amongst the PROGRAM categories, including the LS&R CATEGORY. iii. Third, the County of Santa Clara’s percentage share of the total budgeted LS&R CATEGORY funds (“SC Percentage Share”) is calculated by determining the percentage of the total road and expressway lane mileage recorded in Santa Clara County, California that the County of Santa Clara itself is responsible for maintaining (according to the then most current California Public Road Data report issued by Caltrans). iv. Fourth, the SC Percentage Share is multiplied by the total budgeted LS&R CATEGORY funds to determine the dollar amount allocated to County of Santa Clara. v. Fifth, the budgeted LS&R CATEGORY funds remaining after the allocation of the County of Santa Clara’s share described above (“Remaining Funds”) are distributed to eligible cities. Each city’s percentage share of the Remaining Funds (each, a “City Percentage Share”) is calculated by determining the percentage of the total Santa Clara County, California population (excluding unincorporated areas) attributed to each city (according to the then most current California Department of Finance’s annual population estimates (Report E-1, or any successor report)). vi. Sixth, each City Percentage Share is multiplied by the Remaining Funds to determine the dollar amount allocated to each city. c. RECIPIENT’s allocations are subject to change based on variations in annual population or road mileage and actual 2016 MEASURE B receipts for prior fiscal years. d. RECIPIENT will receive a one-time advance equivalent to the RECIPIENT’s percentage allocation of the LS&R CATEGORY’s percentage share of 2016 MEASURE B revenue collections made from April 2017 through June 2017, upon (i) execution of this Agreement, (ii) RECIPIENT’s submittal of an invoice for the one-time advance, and (iii) RECIPIENT’s first submittal of 1) proposed projects in RECIPIENT’s “Annual Program of Projects”, 2) maintenance of effort certification (see Section 7.d.), and 3) Complete Streets checklist provided by VTA. Any interest earned or accrued from the one-time advance by RECIPIENT must be expended only on eligible costs as set forth above under ELIGIBLE USE OF FUNDS and DESIGN STANDARDS. RECIPIENT’s Annual Program of Projects must contain, at a minimum, the following information: i. Brief description of project/s ii. Location of project/s e. After the one-time advance, all remaining and future funds, if any, will be available only on a reimbursement basis. 60 Rev 02/2019 Page 4 of 9 f. The one-time advance is in addition to RECIPIENT’s FY18 and FY19 LS&R CATEGORY allocations. 6. VTA’s OBLIGATIONS VTA will: a. Annually update the LS&R CATEGORY formula to reflect the most current populations and road mileage using the California Department of Finance’s annual population estimates (Report E-1, or any successor report) and the most current California Public Road Data report issued by Caltrans. VTA shall use the updated LS&R CATEGORY allocation formula in the allocations beginning July 1 immediately following each VTA budget cycle. b.

This definition was set forth in VTA Board Memo No. 6096, dated May 25, 2017, and presented at the VTA Board meeting held June 1, 2017 (“Measure B Complete Streets Reporting Requirements”). 66 CITY OF CUPERTINO Legislation Details (With Text) File #: Version:119-5113 Name: Status:Type:Consent Calendar Agenda Ready File created:In control:3/11/2019 City Council On agenda:Final action:3/19/2019 Title:Subject: Resignation of Housing Commission member (Financial Representative) Poonam Goyal and initiation of recruitment process for filling the unscheduled vacancy.

A. RECRUITMENT 1.

When Council meets to conduct interviews, it is a public meeting subject to the Brown Act and therefore open to the public. The candidates will be asked by the City Clerk (either in person or by written instructions left in the waiting area) to remain seated in the waiting area until they are called in for the interview. Candidates will also be asked to return to the waiting area until the announcement of the vote, or to go home and contact the City Clerk’s Office the next day regarding the results.

Council members are looking for:  Familiarity with the subject  Decision-making ability  Commitment to the position for which they have applied 4. Appointments will be made following a vote in public. Ballots will be distributed, and Council members will vote and sign the ballots. The City Clerk will announce the votes. 74 Resolution No. 16-137 Page 4 5. The City Council may appoint alternates to serve on boards, commissions and committees in the event of a vacancy. Such alternates may attend and participate in meetings of the board, commission, or committee but shall not vote in such meetings until such time as a vacancy has occurred and the alternate has filled such vacancy. If the City Council appoints more than one alter nate for a particular board, commission or committee, the City Council shall designate the alternates as first alternate, second alternate and so on such that immediately upon a vacancy occurring in a board, commission, or committee, the first alternate shall fill such vacancy without the need for further City Council action. C. UNSCHEDULED VACANCIES AND ATTENDANCE 1.

A member shall be considered removed from an advisory body under the following conditions.  A member misses more than three consecutive meetings  A member misses more than 25% of the advisory body’s meetings in a calendar year 4. It is the responsibility of the advisory body’s staff liaison to notify the City Clerk of a member’s attendance record to allow sufficient time to send a warning notice if the member has missed three consecutive meetings or 25% of the meetings, and to send a termination notice if the member has missed more three consecutive meetings or more than 25% of the meetings in a calendar year. 75 Resolution No. 16-137 Page 5 5.

The City of Cupertino will submit the 2018 APR to OPR and HCD by the April 1, 2019 deadline. In past years, the APR focused on building permits issued for new housing units broken down by affordability level, the City’s progress towards meeting its R egional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), and the City’s progress towards implementing its Housing Element programs. However, the reporting requirements have been significantly increased pursuant to Chapter 374 Statutes of 2017 (Assembly Bill 879) and Chapt er 366, Statutes of 2017 (Senate Bill 35) and this APR includes additional information to meet those requirements.

Discussion The Cupertino City Council established a Friendship City program in September 2016. Although less formal than a Sister City relationship, a Friendship City relationship is an additional way to foster international cooperation at a local level. At its peak, the Friendship City program had 27 established relationships. The Friendship City relationships between Cupertino and the affiliate cities are coordinated and managed by a local committee of community members. These committees maintain communication with the affiliate city, while coordinating and implementing activities related to the Friendship City program. At its November 20, 2018, meeting the City Council considered updates to the City’s Policies and Guidelines on Sister Cities, Friendship Cities, and International Delegations. This included Council’s approval of renewal criteria for expiring Friendship City relationships. However, Council exempted from this criteria two Friendship Cities that were requesting renewal that same night: Luoyang, China and Shenzhen, China. The City currently has 12 active Friendship City relationships. It was requested that staff reach out to the remaining 15 Friendship Cities whose two-year terms expired between September and December 2018 and exempt them from the new criteria if they desired to continue a relationship with Cupertino. Out of the 15 Friendship Cities, only five responded to staff’s inquiry and expressed their desire to renew their relationships:  Jiangmen, China  Taichung, Taiwan  Taipei, Taiwan  Yilan, Taiwan 99  Zhaoqing, China The City Council continued this item at its February 19, 2019, meeting and requested more information regarding the activities of the five committees. Staff reached out to all five groups and received information from four of them. The full activity summaries are attached with summaries below. Staff has requested that the Friendship City representatives attend the March 19, 2019, meeting to answer questions from Councilmembers. If approved, these Friendship City relationships would last for two years and expire in March 2021. Once expired they, along with the 12 current Friendship Cities, would be required to go through the Council-approved renewal process. Activity Summaries Jiangmen, China The Cupertino-Jiangmen Friendship City Committee has remained in contact with the Mayor’s Office in Jiangmen, China. The Committee has taken a delegation group of Bay Area elected officials to Jiangmen. The Committee stated that it will be more active moving forward with plans to volunteer at next year’s Fall Festival and organize a delegation, including the Cupertino Mayor and Councilmembers, that will visit Jiangmen. Taichung, Taiwan The Cupertino-Taichung Friendship City Committee has had a few accomplishments over the past two years. In March 2017, an eight-member delegation consisting of Committee members visited Taichung. In August 2017, six officials from Taichung visited Cupertino and met with Cupertino’s Mayor. In each of the last two years (2017, 2018) the Committee has met with the Taichung government to coordinate a group of young artists who performed at the Kids ‘N Fun Festival. Yilan, Taiwan The Cupertino-Yilan Friendship City Committee has visited Yilan and hosted a Taiwanese opera group that performed at the Kids ’N Fun Festival. The Committee has multiple items on its 2019 calendar including a kumquat showcase at the Quinlan Community Center, a student exchange program, and a booth promoting the Cupertino- Yilan relationship at the Kids ‘N Fun Festival.

The Committee has stated that it plans to be more active in the future, which would include hosting Zhaoqing’s mayor in Cupertino. The Committee also plans to volunteer at the Fall Festival and organize a delegation, which would include Cupertino’s Mayor and Councilmembers, that would visit Zhaoqing. 100 Taipei, Taiwan The City did not receive information from the Cupertino-Taipei Friendship City Committee, which had previously requested renewal.

In addition, Cupertino has established several Friendship City relationships and attracts many international delegations for cultural, educational, business, and economic development reasons. SISTER CITIES Intent of Sister City Affiliations: The City recognizes the value of developing people-to-people contacts as a way to further international communication and understanding. Sister City partnerships have proved very successful in fostering educational, technical, economic, and cultural exchanges. Sister City relationships are effective only when organizations of interested residents in one community work with interested residents in another city to promote communication and understanding among people of different cultures. The ideal affiliation should involve a large number of citizens and organizations in both cities, engaging in exchanges of people, ideas and cultures on a long-term, continuing basis. The City intends to provide limited financial support to those Sister City Committees that operate student exchange programs. Those Sister City organizations which do not operate student exchange programs shall be completely financially independent from the City, except for limited City facility use. 102 Sister City Citizen Committee Responsibilities (Receiving City Support): • Identify, manage, coordinate, and implement all activities related to the Sister.

Terminating a Sister City Affiliation While regrettable, it is sometimes necessary for a city to terminate a Sister City affiliation. Sister City affiliations are meant to be long-standing, official city linkages that involve extensive community participation beyond government. For a variety of reasons, a Sister City relationship may lose community interest and support, and Cupertino or the Sister City may opt to terminate the Sister City relationship. If a Sister City affiliation is inactive for a period of three years and there is a lack of community support for the Sister City relationship to continue, the City may initiate the process to terminate the Sister City affiliation with the Sister City and Sister Cities International. FRIENDSHIP CITIES Intent of Friendship City Affiliations: The City recognizes the value of developing people-to-people contacts as a way to further international communication and understanding. Friendship City partnerships can be effective in fostering increased global cooperation and communication. Friendship cities may be established, however, they will not be considered official Sister Cities and are not eligible for City funding. New Affiliations: All proposed Friendship City relationships must have Councilmember and community sponsorship and be approved by the City Council. The Friendship City will submit a Friendship City application to the City of Cupertino, which requires sponsorship from a Council Member and a citizen’s committee to ensure the new affiliation is successful. If approved, the City will issue a signed Letter of Intent establishing the Friendship City 106 relationship. A Friendship City affiliation will be effective for two years and may be renewed every two years. Friendship City Committee Responsibilities: • Identify, manage, coordinate, and implement all activities related to the Friendship City program. • Maintain communication with the affiliate Friendship City, ensuring the counterpart is equally committed. • Work with city staff at least two months in advance in arranging official promotional gifts and meetings for foreign delegations. For local groups traveling abroad and bringing city gifts, similar notice is required, unless waived by the City Manager. City of Cupertino Responsibilities: Coordinated through the City Manager’s Office, the City will: • Issue a signed Letter of Intent establishing the Friendship City relationship in an effort to assist international delegation visits from the Friendship City • Provide City promotional items typically given at community events to government representatives from visiting countries as the budget allows. These may include, but are not limited to: City t-shirts, pens, reusable bags, and lapel pins, to the extent there remains a budgeted amount to purchase such gifts and promotional items. • Facilitate meetings with City officials. • Conduct tours of city facilities. Travel and Program Expenses: Friendship City travel and program expenses will be treated as those of international delegations and will follow the guidelines outlined in this policy in the “Travel and Program Expenses” section under “INTERNATIONAL DELEGATIONS.” Renewal of Friendship City Relationship Friendship City renewals should be requested by an official of the Friendship City with support of the Friendship City Committee. The Friendship City Committee should submit a renewal application, which includes: 107 • Intent to renew letter from Friendship City official on official letterhead. • Summary of Friendship City delegation visits to Cupertino hosted by the Committee over the last two years. • Summary of Cupertino delegation visits hosted by the Friendship City. • Description of activities held and outcomes. • How the relationship has been mutually beneficial for Cupertino and the friendship community. • An updated profile of the Friendship City Committee. Notification of the intent to renew the Friendship City relationship should be sent to the City at least 60 days in advance to ensure sufficient time to process the renewal. Friendship City Committees will also be expected to prepare a presentation to the City Council when the renewal is being considered. Terminating a Friendship City Affiliation: A Friendship City affiliation will be effective for two years. After two years, the Friendship City affiliation will automatically expire unless renewed. While regrettable, it is sometimes necessary for a city to terminate a Friendship City affiliation prior to the end of the two year term. For a variety of reasons a Friendship City relationship may no longer be mutually beneficial, and Cupertino or the Friendship City may opt to terminate the Friendship City relationship. INTERNATIONAL DELEGATIONS Intent of International Delegations: The City recognizes the value of developing people-to-people contacts as a way to further international communication and understanding. Delegations must contact city staff at least 60 days in advance in arranging meetings, unless waived by the City Manager. City of Cupertino Responsibilities: Coordinated through the City Manager's Office, the City will: • Provide City promotional items typically given at community events to government representatives from visiting countries. These may include, but are not limited to: City t-shirts, pens, reusable bags, and lapel pins, to the extent there remains a budgeted amount to purchase such gifts and promotional items. • Facilitate meetings with City officials. • Conduct tours of city facilities. 108 Travel and Program Expenses: Program Expenses - The City Council will, as part of its annual budget adoption process, establish a program budget for promotional items for delegations. Promotional gifts or gift bags shall not exceed the cost of $25 each. Councilmembers on an official delegation visit to a Sister City or Friendship City typically present a gift to the host city dignitary, such as the Mayor. This host-city dignitary gift should not exceed $200. Travel Expenses - International travel shall be at the expense of the traveling Councilmember unless authorized in advance by the City Council. 109 Friendship City List (Sorted by Approval/Expiration Date) City Country Friendship Approval Date Friendship Experation Date Listing Notes Changzhou People's Republic of China September 20, 2016 September 20, 2018 Expired No response from committee Chengdu People's Republic of China September 20, 2016 September 20, 2018 Expired No response from committee Nanjing People's Republic of China September 20, 2016 September 20, 2018 Expired No response from committee Taipei Taiwan (Republic of China)September 20, 2016 September 20, 2018 Pending Council Approval Committee has reached out with interest in renewing Taizhou People's Republic of China September 20, 2016 September 20, 2018 Expired No response from committee Taichung Taiwan (Republic of China)October 4, 2016 October 4, 2018 Pending Council Approval Committee has reached out with interest in renewing Guro South Korea December 6, 2016 December 6, 2018 Expired Committee has stated that they will not renew relationship Jiangmen People's Republic of China December 6, 2016 December 6, 2018 Pending Council Approval Committee has reached out with interest in renewing Luoyang People's Republic of China December 6, 2016 December 6, 2018 Active Renewed by Cupertino City Council (November 20, 2018) Nanchang People's Republic of China December 6, 2016 December 6, 2018 Expired No response from committee Qingdao People's Republic of China December 6, 2016 December 6, 2018 Expired No response from committee Shanghai People's Republic of China December 6, 2016 December 6, 2018 Expired No response from committee 110 Friendship City List (Sorted by Approval/Expiration Date) Shenzhen People's Republic of China December 6, 2016 December 6, 2018 Active Renewed by Cupertino City Council (November 20, 2018) Suzhou People's Republic of China December 6, 2016 December 6, 2018 Expired Committee president stated he is not involved with the committee and gave no contact information Wuhan People's Republic of China December 6, 2016 December 6, 2018 Expired No response from committee Yilan Taiwan (Republic of China)December 6, 2016 December 6, 2018 Pending Council Approval Committee has reached out with interest in renewing Zhaoqing People's Republic of China December 6, 2016 December 6, 2018 Pending Council Approval Committee has reached out with interest in renewing Beijing People's Republic of China May 16, 2017 May 16, 2019 Active Guangzhou People's Republic of China May 16, 2017 May 16, 2019 Active Guiyang People's Republic of China May 16, 2017 May 16, 2019 Active Huizhou People's Republic of China May 16, 2017 May 16, 2019 Active Xuzhou People's Republic of China May 16, 2017 May 16, 2019 Active Haikou People's Republic of China July 5, 2017 July 5, 2019 Active Jilin People's Republic of China July 5, 2017 July 5, 2019 Active Nanning People's Republic of China July 5, 2017 July 5, 2019 Active Nantong People's Republic of China July 5, 2017 July 5, 2019 Active Tongxiang People's Republic of China October 17, 2017 October 17, 2019 Active 111 CITY OF CUPERTTINO FRIENDSHIP CITIES PROGRAM APPLICATION FOR DESIGNATION Instructions This application is to be completed by the Friendship City Committee of the requesting international city and submitted electronically to the Cupertino City Manager’s Office by emailing pio@cupertino.org.

Our committee is also currently a branch committee from Taiwanese Cultural and Sports Association. TCSA is a non-profit organization to promote: 1. Taiwanese culture and enhance the inter-culture exchange between Taiwan, United States of America and other international countries. 2. Peace through people to people relationships, which is supplemented by cultural exchange programs, shared research, and development projects between cities. 3. Encourage young Taiwanese Americans to get involved in cultural and sports activities and strengthen the coordinating function for Taiwanese communities with other communities. 4. Provide entertainment, educational and voluntary events for the purposes of culture exchanges such as festival and sports events. As one of the largest family-oriented events in the San Francisco Bay Area, Kids'n Fun Festival hosts a consortium of performers with international children songs and dances, cultural exhibits with games and activities and a diverse selection of ethnic delicacies. Our objective is to foster a more peaceful community through culture awareness and appreciation to achieve greater cultural understanding, ethnic diversity, and international cognizance. Over the years, since our organization has formed, we have established a strong relationship with the officials of Taichung and it's people. Since then, they have given us much support and helped with the event of Kids'n Fun Festival activities. This event takes place at Memorial Park, Cupertino. This year, Taichung City sent about 40 children from Taiwan coming from Chung- Ho Elementary School and Taichung Situn Elementary School to perform Taiwanese Folk Opera at the festival. Our committee has hosted and served as a bridge between the City of Cupertino and Taichung City to support our communities overseas exchanges from Taichung’s culture is not only important to the locals there but is also meant to be shared. Taichung offers many education opportunities because of its focus on technology and development. We see the similarities in these two great cities. And we would love to see a new friendship built between the two cities. http://www.kidsfunfestival.org/2016-kff-photos.html 119 In many ways, Taichung mirrors Cupertino in providing the community with top notch education, a greener approach to living, and a space for creative innovation – we are home to tech giants Apple, Seagate, and even have a subsidiary of Amazon – Lab 126. Like Taichung, Cupertino is also in the process of great urban developments – for example we have Main Street Cupertino and Taichung has Greater Taichung 123. This is our opportunity to give back to our community through new experiences, new partnerships and prepare our future generations for further success. Let's connect these two cities to further deepen our roots within the community! For the past few years, Taichung City has been named among Asia’s most livable cities and is currently the most livable city in Taiwan according to CNN U.S. Taichung City has a big role in the economy, arts, culture, and transportation. Its climate, which is similar to Cupertino's, is pleasant all year round. The government of Taichung City also plans to develop Taichung into a green garden city. For the arts and culture, Taichung is Taiwan’s cultural center. The National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts shows paintings and art works from Taiwanese artists. The National Taichung Theater, a newly opened opera house with a very unique design, hosts many performing arts events and invites artists worldwide to perform. You can see the very unique design of the theater.

(Forbes) The Most Livable City in Taiwan. (CNN) 120 Because of its many resources, Taichung has 23 sister cities globally and it welcomes more. Taichung and Cupertino are alike in many ways. Benefits and Measurable Results Youth and Education We provide kids with the experience of traveling abroad. It is important that they learn what it is like to be a guest, not a tourist. This helps them better learn about the cultural values and differences. We offer both short and long term activities and events. Studying aboard isn't only limited to children, but are also available to high school and college students as well. Studying aboard is often described as life changing and many current leaders in diplomacy can trace their interest to studying aboard. Arts and Culture Art and Culture programs are an age old staple in the relationships between cities. They allow people to experience and explore the independent cultures of different places, this enables them to gain insight into the history, values, and artistic side of other cultures. Our cultural exchange events can range between musical performances to art exhibits to international culture festivals. Business and Trade Business and Trade is the life blood of a city, through our city relationships we can help create connections between international municipal officials and businesses. These connections help build trust, access, and expertise which will lead to new and exciting opportunities. From access to new markets, navigating through import/export regulations or new partners, the possibilities are endless. Community Development Through our programs, we have helped cities implement new policies and techniques in sanitation, health, transport, tourism, economic development, and education. Our programs also help raise fund or collect supplies for any natural disaster or emergency that may plague our sister cities. Many other development projects have been done, including renovation of clinics, well building, and training medical personnel’s.
