City of Palo Alto (ID # 11107) City Council Staff Report Report Type: Consent Calendar Meeting Date: 9/14/2020 City of Palo Alto Page 1 Summary Title: Contract Award to McGuire Pacific Constructors for General On-Call Sign Services Title: Approval of Contract Number C21178263 With McGuire Pacific Constructors, Not-to-Exceed $130,000, for On-call Residential Preferential Parking Program (RPP) Signs and Installation From: City Manager Lead Department: Transportation Department Recommendation Staff recommends that Council approve and authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute on-call contract C21178263 (Attachment A) for an amount not to exceed $130,000 with McGuire Pacific Constructors, for Residential Preferential Parking Enforcement signage for the City over a two-year period. Background The City actively addresses city-wide parking and transportation challenges using a strategic, multi-faceted approach focused on parking management, parking supply, and transportation demand management programs. Parking management strategies have included the development of a city-wide Residential Preferential Parking (RPP) ordinance. The RPP program limits non-permit holder parking to two hours during program hours. The RPP program was the result of a multi-year process that included business and resident stakeholder engagement with city staff on the development of the program. The program development included deliberations on enforcement hours, program boundaries, permit prices, and employee permit allocation. The comprehensive process represents a significant effort to begin managing neighborhood parking supply. An RPP Ordinance was adopted in December 2014, with the establishment of RPP districts in the residential areas of Downtown Palo Alto, Evergreen Park-Mayfield, Southgate, and Old Palo Alto. City of Palo Alto Page 2 Consistent with Council direction, staff is in the process of awarding an on-call contract necessary to maintain new and existing RPP signage, including parking sign fabrication, installation, and maintenance. The immediate need is to resolve an issue with existing signage that does not effectively communicate a restriction on re-parking in RPP zones to the public. The issue regarding current signage is that it effectively incentivizes the public to re-park every two hours, in contradiction with the program design, to avoid having to purchase either an employee or residential RPP permit. Producing and installing an overlay to resolve this issue is expected to utilize the entire $130,000 available. If any funds remain after the re-parking restriction overlays have been completed, McGuire may be asked to provide additional support in relation to the RPP signage. Additional services may include custom signs, text overlays, pole extensions, or the like. This report provides an overview of the recommended enforcement strategy and vendor selection process. The City of Palo Alto’s Office of Transportation staff developed a Request for Quotes (RFQ) to receive proposals from firms that could implement the desired parking sign program in a timely manner for the City. The RFQ did not specify the number of parking signs installed; rather, the City invited proposers to analyze the RPP Districts and make a proposal based on their experience with similar services. Evaluation As specified in the RFQ, City staff used the following criteria for selection: • Quality and completeness of the proposal; • Quality, performance and effectiveness of the solution, goods and/or services to be provided by the Proposer; • Cost to the city; and • Proposer’s compliance with applicable laws, regulations, policies (including City Council policies), guidelines and orders governing prior or existing contracts performed by the contractor. The RFQ was issued in March 2020 and proposals were due on Wednesday, March 25, 2020. The City received the one (1) response to the RFQ: McGuire Pacific Constructors. Contract negotiations commenced in June 2020 and were completed on August 17, 2020. Discussion McGuire demonstrated a complete understanding of the four (4) RPP districts and experience installing signage in similar parking programs for other cities. Based on McGuire’s understanding of the program requirements, level of service proposed and cost, City Staff felt that McGuire would be the most effective at yielding the type of on-call services, rather than re-bidding services. City of Palo Alto Page 3 The Office of Transportation will manage this contract to ensure that the McGuire executes work order tasks in a timely manner and to the standards of the City. Community Engagement The RPP ordinance, which delineates the RPP program parking restrictions, was adopted and approved by Council in January 2014, in response to increasing concern that non-resident parking in residential neighborhoods was negatively impacting neighborhood quality of life. City Council directed staff to develop both a City-wide ordinance establishing uniform procedures for establishment of RPP districts, and an RPP program design for the first “priority” neighborhood, which ultimately was identified as the Downtown neighborhoods. Shortly after the initial launch of the parking program, residents experiencing similar parking impacts were able to petition for an RPP. The program has since expanded to Evergreen Park-Mayfield, Southgate, and Old Palo Alto. The overall outcome of the parking restrictions has dramatically lowered parking intrusion. Residents have been supportive of the RPP program since its inception. Timeline McGuire Pacific Constructors is the incumbent and the transition will be solely administrative. This new contract will commence October 2020. Resource Impact McGuire’s contract amount has been defined not-to-exceed $130,000. The actual work may cost more or less per work order, depending on the volume of signs needed and how many new poles, etc. are needed. McGuire will draft work orders for City requests and will be required to include total compensation for approval. While unit/service rates have not changed due to COVID-19 impacts, the original terms were adjusted as a result of negotiation. The RFQ originally stipulated $250,000 over five years, but the term and amount is reduced to provide opportunity for renegotiation at the end of the contract period. The funding for the two-year term of this contract is available in the Residential Preferential Parking (RPP) Fund’s (Fund 239) FY 2021 Adopted Operating Budget. Policy Implications Parking Enforcement of the RPP program is consistent with the City’s commitment to promote enhanced safety and mobility in Palo Alto’s transportation system while protecting resources and preserving the community's quality of life, and is also consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan goals: 1. Goal T-5, Policy T-5.1 All new development projects should manage parking City of Palo Alto Page 4 demand generated by the project, without the use of on-street parking, consistent with the established parking regulations. As demonstrated parking demand decreases over time, parking requirements for new construction should decrease 2. Policy T-5.11: Work to protect residential areas from parking impacts of nearby businesses and uses, recognizing that fully addressing some existing intrusions may take time. 3. Goal B-2; Policy B-2.2 Recognize that employers, businesses and neighborhoods share many values and concerns, including traffic and parking issues and preserving Palo Alto’s livability, and need to work together with a priority on neighborhood quality of life.

Executive Summary The residential preferential parking (RPP) program in the Old Palo Alto neighborhood is approaching the end of its designated “pilot” phase, designed to limit overflow parking to the neighborhood’s residential streets. While the new program has been largely successful by reducing the impact from non-resident parkers, at least anecdotally, staff recommends extending the Old Palo Alto RPP pilot for an additional twelve months to further evaluate the program, as the economic downturn related to COVID-19 has significantly impacted travel patterns. The additional review and evaluation time will also align with other efforts in the Office of Transportation to better define and evaluate parking management measures underway in the City. Staff will return to Council in Fall of 2021 with any recommended modifications. Background The City Council established the Old Palo Alto RPP Program as a one-year pilot program in Staff Report 10613 by adoption of Resolution No. 9862 in October 2019. Permit sales for the Old Palo Alto RPP Program pilot began early November with soft enforcement (warnings with no citations) began in November, and full enforcement rolled-out late-November 2019. While City of Palo Alto Page 2 there have been minor issues, including high on-street occupancies (“bunching”) on streets near the program’s original boundaries, and complaints from visitors who desire to park near the California Avenue commercial district or Caltrain Station, residents have generally been supportive of the program implementation. In March 2020, COVID-19 was detected and found to be transmitting via community spread throughout the region. To limit the potential spread of respiratory viruses and safeguard those at highest risk of COVID-19, the Santa Clara County Public Health Officer joined by the public health officers of all of the other Bay Area counties issued an order calling for residents to stay home and shelter in place except for limited essential activities. Service changes implemented because of the order included temporarily suspending city-wide enforcement of the Residential Permit Parking program. City staff acted to promote community safety and address existing and potential impacts on City services. Discussion In January of 2020, staff received RPP program feedback and collected preliminary occupancy data. Old Palo Alto residents provided favorable responses to the RPP program, citing a reduction in neighborhood traffic, improved visibility when driving, seeing a higher number of bicyclists, improved safety for bicyclists, and parking availability in their neighborhood. Staff also received concerns about parking overflow on adjacent blocks as non-resident parkers parking beyond the district and walking to their respective destinations, either their place of employment or the Caltrain Station. The proposed Council action would establish a twelve-month extension of the Old Palo Alto RPP Program's pilot phase with no changes. Due to the lack of feasible parking data, staff cannot accurately assess the Old Palo Alto RPP program's effectiveness. The pilot extension will allow staff to consider program improvements and suggestions based on a study of the RPP program post-pandemic for a recommendation based on accurate traffic trends and parking demand. At the end of this extension period, staff will recommend a second pilot extension, dissolve the RPP district, or establish the RPP district as an ongoing program. Policy Implications The following Comprehensive Plan programs and policies are relevant to the Old Palo Alto RPP Program: Policy T-5.5 Minimize the need for employees to park in and adjacent to commercial centers, employment districts and schools City of Palo Alto Page 3 Policy T-5.11 Work to protect residential areas from parking impacts of nearby businesses and uses, recognizing that fully addressing some existing intrusions may take time. Policy B-1.2 Promote Palo Alto’s image as a business-friendly community. Assume an active role in fostering businesses, including small start-ups, entrepreneurs, and innovative businesses. Policy B-1.3 Engage with all stakeholders in the community, including businesses of all sizes, local retailers, the public, and City decision-makers in order to understand the challenges businesses and employers face. Policy B-2.3 Recognize that employers, businesses and neighborhoods share many values and concerns, including traffic and parking issues and preserving Palo Alto’s livability, and need to work together with a priority on neighborhood quality of life. Policy B-3.3 Develop strategies for promoting businesses and employers that generate revenues that will support a full range of high-quality City services, including retain and attract revenue-generating businesses. Policy B-4.2 Attract and support small businesses, start-ups, non-profit organizations, and professional services, which are vital to a diverse and innovative economy. Resource Impact No additional resource impact is expected during the pilot time extension as the continued operation of this program was included in the Adopted FY 2021 Operating Budget. Staff will continue to monitor the activity of this program and will bring forward any necessary budgetary adjustments as part of the annual budget process. Timeline Current parking permits expire on March 31, 2021 and new permits will go on sale at least 20 days in advance of that date. Environmental Review This program is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations since it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the extension of this existing program may have a significant effect on the environment and Section 15301 in that this proposed resolution will have a minor impact on existing facilities.

In approving the application, the Council make the following findings, determination and declarations: SECTION 1. Background. A. The request is for the removal and replacement of an existing vault restroom in-situ with a prefabricated CXT vault restroom, installation of American Disabilities Act (ADA) parking stalls, and construction of an ADA path of travel from parking stalls to the restroom and minor grading and flat work of an existing 2,000 square foot gravel parking lot. (“The Project”). B. The Project was determined by Staff to meet the criteria, as stated in PAMC 18.28.070 (b)(2), to be placed directly on the Council Consent Calendar. D. On September 14, 2020, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing, at which all persons were afforded an opportunity to be heard in accordance with the Palo Alto Municipal Code and the Council’s Policies and Procedures. SECTION 2. Environmental Review. The proposed project has been determined to be Categorically Exempt per Section 15302 (Replacement of Existing Structures and Facilities) and 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land). SECTION 3. Site and Design Review Findings 1. The use will be constructed and operated in a manner that will be orderly, harmonious, and compatible with existing or potential uses of adjoining or nearby sites. The construction proposed is minor, and limited to paving, excavation, and installation of the pre-cast restroom structure. The proposed use will be the same as existing to will upgrade the necessary parking and restroom facilities for visitors of the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve. 2. The project is consistent with the goal of ensuring the desirability of investment, or the conduct of business, research, or educational activities, or other authorized occupations, in the same or adjacent areas. The proposed changes to the existing parking and replacement of the existing restroom facilities to be ADA compliant is desirable to improve the experience and usability of activities associated with visiting the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve. 3. Sound principles of environmental design and ecological balance are observed in the project. The proposed parking and restroom facility is an upgrade to an existing facility, and therefore will not affect the rest of the open space preserve. The restroom is a brown color scheme which will not Page 2 of 6 significantly stand out in the landscape. 4. The use will be in accord with the Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan. The project proposes no changes in use that would affect its conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. It also supports Goal N-1, to Protect, conserve and enhance Palo Alto’s citywide system of open space, including connected and accessible natural and urban habitats, ecosystems, and natural resources, providing a source of public health, natural beauty and enjoyment for Palo Alto residents. SECTION 4. Site and Design Approval Granted. Site and Design Approval is granted for the project by the City Council under Palo Alto Municipal Code Section 18.82.070, effective September 14, 2020 and subject to the conditions of approval in Section 8 of this Record. SECTION 5. Architectural Review Findings. 1. The design is consistent with applicable provisions of the Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, coordinated area plans (including compatibility requirements), and any relevant design guides. The proposed project has been reviewed and was found consistent with applicable provisions of the Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code. No coordinated area plans or other design guidelines apply. 2. The project has a unified and coherent design, that: (A) Creates an internal sense of order and desirable environment for occupants, visitors, and the general community, (B) Preserves, respects and integrates existing natural features that contribute positively to the site and the historic character including historic resources of the area when relevant, (C) Is consistent with the context-based design criteria of the applicable zone district, (D) Provides harmonious transitions in scale, mass and character to adjacent land uses and land use designations, (E) Enhances living conditions on the site (if it includes residential uses) and in adjacent residential areas. The proposed project is consistent with the findings for Site and Design, as demonstrated in Section 3. The project design is orderly, to provide convenient parking and restroom facilities to visitors. It respects the existing site and maintains a similar footprint. It is respectful of the Open Space Preserve it is located within. 3. The design is of high aesthetic quality, using high quality, integrated materials and appropriate construction techniques, and incorporating textures, colors, and other details that are compatible with and enhance the surrounding area. Page 3 of 6 The prefabricated restroom building is appropriate for the context and use. It includes a neutral brown color scheme that will blend in with and not distract from the surrounding area. The materials are durable for the expected use and will require minimal maintenance. 4. The design is functional, allowing for ease and safety of pedestrian and bicycle traffic and providing for elements that support the building's necessary operations (e.g. convenient vehicle access to property and utilities, appropriate arrangement and amount of open space and integrated signage, if applicable, etc.). The proposed project makes the parking and restrooms more function and accessible in accordance with ADA requirements. This will also improve safety for individuals within the parking lot. 5. The landscape design complements and enhances the building design and its surroundings, is appropriate to the site's functions, and utilizes to the extent practical, regional indigenous drought resistant plant material capable of providing desirable habitat that can be appropriately maintained. The proposed project does not include additional landscape, as it would not be appropriate to include plants which are not naturally a part of the Open Space Preserve. 6. The project incorporates design principles that achieve sustainability in areas related to energy efficiency, water conservation, building materials, landscaping, and site planning. There are no items in the project scope that would increase the site’s demand for energy or water resources. The pre-fabricated restroom design is appropriate for the site. SECTION 6. Architectural Review Approval Granted.

Executive Summary On June 22, 2020, Council adopted the FY 2021 budget and corresponding changes to City employee salaries, salary schedules and Compensation Plans in staff reports #11330. This staff report brings before Council the following administrative cleanups and actions to correct and further amend: • Adopt a salary schedule for SEIU-hourly represented classifications in alignment with the existing MOA that was previously approved on January 29, 2018 (CMR City of Palo Alto Page 2 ID# 8840). This action publicly rectifies the incorrect version of the salary schedule that was approved on June 22, 2020. • Adopt a salary schedule for limited hourly employees to maintain salary alignment with SEIU-hourly classifications to prevent disparate salaries for one job classification maintaining the City’s practices for hourly compensation. • Revise the Management and Professional Personnel and Council Appointees Compensation Plan to address vacation usage impact resulting from FY 2021 furlough. • Adopt a salary schedule revision for one SEIU classification – “Utility Marketing Program Administrator” - in accordance with a grievance arbitration decision. • Adopt side letters of agreement with International Association of Fire Fighters Local 1319, Palo Alto Peace Officers’ Association, and Palo Alto Fire Chiefs’ Association. Background At Council’s direction, staff began negotiations with all represented employee groups in late March 2020. While agreements were reached to defer the general wage increase also known as Cost of Living Adjustments “COLA” of many City labor groups, the parties failed to reach agreement to defer COLAs for any of the SEIU bargaining units. There were ongoing negotiations with SEIU until the week prior to budget adoption. The SEIU Hourly unit was extremely close to an agreement, however, in the closing days could not come to mutual agreement on terms. As a result of these late negotiations the incorrect salary schedule was adopted. In 2019, CalPERS informed the City that several of its compensation reporting practices needed to be amended to comply with CalPERS regulations and Public Employee Retirement Law. Specifically, the City would need to make changes in order to comply with Government Code sections 752234 and 20636, and California Code of Regulation 571. The item before Council tonight in the form of side letters of agreements with our affected public safety bargaining units address these required changes. These side letters make administrative changes only to how the City reports compensation but does not change the underlying compensation amounts. Discussion SEIU and Limited Hourly Employees Salary Schedules Due to the late nature of these negotiations, Council adopted a salary schedule on June 22, 2020 (CMR ID# 11452) that reflected a zero increase for the SEIU-Hourly on July 1, 2020. This administrative correction replaces the adopted SEIU Hourly salary schedule with the appropriate contractually obligated schedule which includes a 2% general wage increase on July 1, 2020. City of Palo Alto Page 3 The City of Palo Alto employs roughly 300 hourly employees at any given time1. Hourly employees are traditionally characterized as working less than full time, seasonal, temporary, or as needed. The majority of the City’s hourly employees work in our libraries and community services departments and work less than 20 hours per week. The City places hourlies in two separate groups: SEIU-Hourly and limited hourly, based on the number of hours worked in a fiscal year. The classifications, titles, and hourly pay rates have been purposefully kept consistent across both hourly employee group. The only differences between the positions are additional negotiated benefits for the SEIU-Hourly employees who work more than 416 hours. Vacation Cash-out for Management and Professional Employees The Management and Professional Employees group includes approximately 119 managers and 82 professional employees. Due to the unprecedented global pandemic, management and professional employees have had to cancel, postpone, or abandon travel or vacation plans. This has led to employees reaching vacation accrual maximums without the ability to take time off. The only mechanism that employees can utilize to lower their vacation accruals is by “cashing out” vacation. In order to cash out vacation however, employees are currently required to utilize at least 80 hours of vacation in that year. Under the current circumstances it is very difficult to utilize 80 hours of vacation. This administrative action removes the vacation usage requirement for Management and Professional employees for Calendar Year 2021. These employees are also the sole group impacted by this year’s furlough program to create budget cost savings. By eliminating this vacation cap requirement, employees will be able to cash out vacation hours when they are unable to schedule time off for reasons beyond their control. It is expected that this will only be needed for one calendar year as travel and other activities safely re-open in mid- to late-2021. There are no budgetary impacts for this temporary change. Reclassification of Utility Marketing Program Administrator In October 2018, five employees within the Utility Program Market ing Administrator classification filed for reclassification under the SEIU MOA. This process resulted in the City obtaining the services of Koff and Associates to conduct a classification and salary study. After the analysis was completed, Koff and Associates concluded that a new job title and some revisions to the job classification were in order. Koff was unable to establish a need for a salary adjustment based on the limited benchmark data available for this position compared to the external market. SEIU represented employees disagreed with Koff’s report and appealed the decision to arbitration as allowed by the MOA. After a full day of hearing in front of the arbitrator and written briefs submitted by both parties; the arbitrator ultimately ruled in agreement with Koff’s proposed job description and awarded a 1.7% increase in salary aligning this position to other internal classifications. This action publicly adopts the new salary revising the SEIU salary schedule. The Utility Marketing Program Administrators are paid and budgeted 1 Based on FY20 figures City of Palo Alto Page 4 out of the Utilities Enterprise Fund and the implementation of this grievance arbitration decision does not require any budgetary action as the cost is roughly $5k annually and can be absorbed under the current allocations. Side Letters of Agreement with Public Safety Associations The Public Employees’ Retirement Law governs what forms of compensation are considered when determining an employee’s lifetime pension benefit. Certain forms of compensation are specifically included or excluded by this law as well as the specific manner in which it must be reported to CalPERS. These side letters will update our holiday-in-lieu pay and uniform allowance to be in compliance with these regulations. This update will denote the value of the benefit on a pay period by pay period basis for CalPERS reporting purposes. Resource Impact These actions do not require any changes to the FY 2021 Adopted Budget. At the timing of the development of the FY 2021 budget, staff used the most recent salary schedules that included a 2% COLA for SEIU and Limited Hourly Employees, in alignment with the recommended administrative clean-up actions in this report. The impacts resulting from the Utility Marking Program Administrator reclassifications are minimal and can be absorbed in the Enterprise Fund.

City of Palo Alto (ID # 11558) City Council Staff Report Report Type: Consent Calendar Meeting Date: 9/14/2020 City of Palo Alto Page 1 Summary Title: Approval of Three items related to the Junior Museum and Zoo Title: Approval of Three Items Related to the Junior Museum and Zoo: 1) Acceptance of a $250,000 Federal Grant for a California Dinosaur Garden Exhibition; 2) Approval of a Budget Amendment in the Capital Improvement Fund by a 2/3 Vote; and, 3) Approval for an Extension Until 2022 of the Agreement Between the City of Palo Alto and the Friends of the Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo for Mutual Cooperation and Support to Facilitate the Friends’ Financial and Administrative Support of the Junior Museum and Zoo From: City Manager Lead Department: Community Services Recommended Motion Staff recommends that City Council approve and accept the following: 1. Acceptance of a $250,000 Institute of Museum and Library Services Grant for construction of the Junior Museum and Zoo’s California Dinosaur Garden Exhibition. 2. Amendment of the Fiscal Year 2021 Budget Appropriation for the Capital Improvement Fund, by a 2/3 vote, by: a. Increasing the revenue estimate for grants by $250,000; and b. Increasing the Junior Museum and Zoo Capital Improvement Project (AC- 18001) expense appropriation by $250,000. 3. Approval for Renewal of the Agreement Between the City of Palo Alto and the Friends of the Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo for Mutual Cooperation and Support to Facilitate the Friends’ Financial and Administrative Support of the Junior Museum and Zoo. City of Palo Alto Page 2 Background Founded in 1934, the Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo (JMZ) is dedicated to enriching the lives of children, ages 0 to 11, through hands-on exploration of the world. Specifically, the mission is to engage a child’s curiosity for science and nature. This mission is furthered through a variety of exhibits, a diverse community of live animals, and educational programs for children, families and schools. The JMZ’s permanent location and facility was established in 1941, when the JMZ building was constructed, and in 1969, when the zoo was added. In 2015, the Friends of the Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo (Friends) launched the JMZ Initiative – a $25 million campaign to rebuild the outdated JMZ facility in recognition that the existing structures were not adequately sized nor designed to 1) accommodate the JMZ’s vibrant exhibits, expanded educational programs, current accessibility and seismic code requirements, and 2) to meet best-practices in modern animal care and collection management. By January 2017, the Friends successfully met this campaign goal, thanks to a $15 million matching gift from the Peery Family and $10 million in other private donations from local donors. These donations have enabled the City and the Friends to build a new JMZ, which will improve the visitor experience by combining experiential exhibits with an expanded and optimized space to make science programming scalable and able to meet the increased needs of future generations. The JMZ has served families for more than eighty years and the new facility will ensure the same exceptional quality of early science education for children for many years to come. The JMZ construction project began in the summer of 2018 and is expected to conclude this fall. Details of the rebuilding process can be found in Council Memo 8851 from February 5, 2018 and Council Memo 9245 from May 29, 2018. The rebuilt JMZ will open under a new operating model described in detail in Staff Report 11093. The new operating model was developed to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for users of the new facility, to meet accreditation standards set by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and the American Alliance of Museums, and to increase cost recovery by collecting an admission fee. The operating model was adjusted to further increase cost recovery in response to COVID-19 and the City’s subsequent financial challenges in Council Memo 11222 and further adjusted in a May 12, 2020 At Places Council Memo. The JMZ is currently expected to reopen in 2021 as a state-of-the-art museum and zoo built with a focus on inclusion, accessibility, and the highest standards in animal care. In 2022, the JMZ will also open a permanent exhibit about the dinosaurs that lived in California. It will include live cretaceous-era plants, turtles, geologic City of Palo Alto Page 3 specimens, a fossil dig, and life-size models of several types of dinosaurs from California. Discussion There are two actions related to reopening the JMZ that Council needs to review. The recommended actions are explained in detail in the discussion below. Grant Acceptance The City of Palo Alto was awarded $250,000 in matching grant funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Museums of America program earlier this year. The grant will support the California Dinosaur Garden, a permanent exhibition project, which will promote science learning and an inclusive environment for children ages 3-11, including children with cognitive and physical disabilities, and their caregivers. This project will leverage JMZ’s expertise in providing families with engaging, age-appropriate STEM experiences and our deep institutional commitment to inclusion for people of all abilities. The matching funds are comprised of staff salaries and benefits and existing funds in the JMZ Capital Infrastructure Project. No additional City expenditures are required. Agreement with the Friends of the Junior Museum and Zoo The Friends of the Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo have played an integral role in the support and operation of the JMZ since 1962. The City and the Friends’ most recent Agreement expired June 30, 2020 and was the third amendment to an Agreement dated December 17, 2007. The current Mutual Cooperation and Support Agreement allows the Friends to use the JMZ facility to benefit the City through the Friends’ support of the operations, education-related programs, and activities and opportunities offered by or within the JMZ facility. The public-private partnership between the City and the Friends has been strengthened by the written agreement, because it has provided the Friends with a greater opportunity to play a role in planning and decision-making processes, which has led to increased outside funding for the JMZ facility. As staff outlined in a Finance Committee Report earlier this year, staff and the Friends plan to develop a new Agreement with the Friends of the JMZ soon, which will include a framework for evaluating and negotiating a potential change in operations to the Friends operating the JMZ facility; this model was envisioned at the start of this process. The new Agreement will also include any additional changes that will be necessary with the JMZ’s new paid-entry operating model. Staff and the Friends anticipated presenting a new agreement during 2020, however now that we are facing the COVID-19 pandemic, staff and the Friends would like to extend the current Agreement until such time at the JMZ can operate under relatively normal City of Palo Alto Page 4 conditions. Once the JMZ is open and operating, staff and the Friends will negotiate a new Agreement as planned. The Fourth Agreement to the Mutual Cooperation and Support with the Friends of the Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo is attached to this report. The Agreement is set to expire on June 30, 2022 or when a new agreement is signed. Policy Implications The recommended actions outlined in this report advance many important policy objectives related to the City Comprehensive Plan Policy Goal C-1: Deliver community services effectively and efficiently. These include: Policy C-1.4 Promote City parks, open spaces, recreational facilities, libraries, classes and cultural activities for community members recognizing that these facilities and services build and strengthen community. Policy C-1.16 Provide arts, science and recreational activities that foster healthy children, youth and teen development. Policy C-1.20 Leverage available funding to support the development of, and improved access to, programs that address all types of developmental disabilities, including physical, sensory, cognitive or social/emotional needs. Resource Impact Acceptance of the IMLS grant requires a Budget Amendment to recognize $250,000 in revenue and expenses in the Capital Improvement Fund, by a 2/3 Council vote, as recommended in this report. The $250,000 matching City contribution is budgeted in the Junior Museum and Zoo Capital Improvement Project (AC-18001), in the FY 2021 Capital Budget. No other action recommended in this report will have a resource impact. Stakeholder Engagement JMZ staff conducted surveys and small focus groups in 2019 to better understand JMZ visitors’ knowledge and interest in California during the dinosaur age. Most visitors felt that they knew very little about California in the dinosaur age despite much enthusiasm about dinosaurs from the children in their families. The California Dinosaur Garden exhibit was designed with results from these surveys in mind. Environmental Review The recommendation in this report is not subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act as it does not meet the definition of a ‘project’ as defined in Public Resource Code Division 13, Section 21065.

DocuSign Envelope ID: ABAA258A-BF44-4BA8-9A13-EBE80699249B 1 | Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo, MFA Abstract Enduringly popular, dinosaurs provide an inviting entry-point to engaging young children—and adults—in science. For many children, the thrill of discovering dinosaurs, and the world they inhabited, is an early introduction to biology, paleontology, geology, and other branches of science. The Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo is requesting IMLS support for California Dinosaur Garden, a permanent exhibition project, which will promote science learning and an inclusive environment for children ages 3-11, including children with cognitive and physical disabilities, and their caregivers. This three-year project will leverage JMZ’s expertise in providing families with engaging, age- appropriate STEM experiences and our deep institutional commitment to inclusion for people of all abilities. Researchers have discovered that for children to develop a scientific understanding of complex topics, such as paleontology, geology, climate change, and evolution, they need a foundation to build upon as they learn about these seemingly counterintuitive concepts. Building a foundation begins with compelling storytelling. Utilizing creative, sensory-rich exhibit techniques, California Dinosaur Garden will tell stories to help children understand the diversity of prehistoric life that existed, that plants and animals evolved over time and some went extinct, and that scientists use fossil and geologic evidence to inform our scientific understanding. This project also addresses the lack of quality science learning experiences for the growing number of children with a variety of disabilities. Although ADA requirements and best practices set accessibility standards, most museums minimally accommodate for people with disabilities. The JMZ’s IMLS-funded project, Access From the Ground Up, and the 2010 report, Inclusion, Disabilities and Informal Science Learning by the Center for the Advancement of Informal Science Education, have greatly informed the development of California Dinosaur Garden. Although the report “located a number of projects, initiatives, and organizations that have sought greater inclusion of people with disabilities in [informal science education]. These efforts are still the exception and not the rule.” To address these needs, the California Dinosaur Garden project goals are to: 1.) Provide rich science learning exhibits for children and their caregivers about dinosaurs and life over time. By exploring fossils and prehistoric flora and fauna, children can understand changes over time, thus introducing more complex, yet age-appropriate, ideas about evolution and extinction. 2.) Champion inclusion and deliver an accessible experience for children with disabilities. By creating California Dinosaur Garden based on universal design principals that go well beyond ADA requirements, this truly inclusive project will benefit children with disabilities and all visitors to the JMZ. The California Dinosaur Garden will create a “living diorama” interpreting the Cretaceous period in California at the JMZ’s newly rebuilt facility. Located in a 4,160 square foot exterior courtyard, this engrossing experience built around an existing dawn redwood tree, will include prehistoric plants within a seasonal marsh landscape, ten interactive interpretive exhibits, a Fossil Dig, and four life-size dinosaur sculptures. Exhibit components will be fully inclusive, including wheelchair access to the garden experience, climbing dinosaur, and Fossil Dig. They will also include braille labels and tactile, sensory-rich elements. The project activities to achieve the goals of the California Dinosaur Garden will include 1) the completion of initial concept design and front end evaluation to inform exhibit development; 2) design development, prototyping and formative evaluation; 3) design drawing and contracting with fabricators, installers and other needed contractors; and 4) fabrication and installation of exhibits and sculptures. We will also develop and launch a compelling marketing campaign in the Bay Area to secure attendance. After California Dinosaur Garden opens in March 2022, we will conduct multimodal summative evaluation and plan for any necessary remediation to exhibit components. As a result of this project, children aged 3-11 years will have increased access to science learning experiences, thereby increasing their knowledge of dinosaurs and the evolution of life over time and creating a positive feeling and long-term capabilities for science learning. Families who have children with disabilities will feel welcome and included, and become regular visitors to the JMZ. As an experience built for accessibility, California Dinosaur Garden will be a role model for other institutions—exemplifying the inclusion of people with disabilities throughout the design process and the innovation that people who experience the world differently can bring to that process. DocuSign Envelope ID: ABAA258A-BF44-4BA8-9A13-EBE80699249B 4 | Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo, MFA Narrative remarked, “I am particularly aware of the opportunity this [exhibition] represents given the surprising underrepresentation of paleontology among the public science exhibits available in the Bay Area.” A survey conducted by the JMZ showed that 68% of adult visitors responded that they had “no knowledge” of California during the dinosaur age. In spite of this, they rated their child’s interest in dinosaurs as “high.” The California Dinosaur Garden will support parents as they facilitate their child’s learning about these complex science concepts. Inclusion The JMZ is passionately committed to the inclusion of people of all abilities and ages, and the California Dinosaur Garden represents a continued focus area of this work. Nearly one in four Americans—including children—lives with some type of disability. Reflecting these national trends, in 2015-16, there were 125,486 students, K-12, enrolled in special education in the San Francisco Bay Area. While learning disabilities and speech or language impairments are the most common disabilities in special education, enrollment in special education for children with autism is a significant growth area. The 2016 National Survey of Children’s Health, a government survey of parents, now estimates that 1 in 40 American children — or roughly 1.5 million — are on the autism spectrum. The 2010 report, Inclusion, Disabilities and Informal Science Learning by the Center for the Advancement of Informal Science Education (CAISE), has greatly informed the development of our new exhibits. The CAISE report states that inclusion in informal science education (ISE) must go “further than ensuring that people with disabilities can enter the buildings or use the exhibits, programs, and technologies that deliver such experiences. It also requires that people with disabilities be able to learn from such experiences and participate as a part of, and not separate from, the larger social group and community.” Although ADA requirements and best practices set accessibility standards, most museums minimally accommodate for people with disabilities. Indeed, the CAISE report “located a number of projects, initiatives, and organizations that have sought greater inclusion of people with disabilities in ISE. These efforts are still the exception and not the rule.” The exclusion of people with disabilities in informal science learning results in the loss of future scientists and citizens that are scientifically literate and engaged. The JMZ’s current IMLS-funded project, Access From the Ground Up (see Supporting Document 3 for Abstract) directly addresses this lack of quality STEM education opportunities for the growing number of children with disabilities and will make the new JMZ facility and exhibitions accessible to everyone. The project is building lasting partnerships between the JMZ and organizations serving persons with disabilities. We have formed an ongoing Accessibility Advisory Team that meets quarterly to advise staff on exhibits, experiences, and social scape. Staff and volunteers are receiving intensive training and professional development opportunities to heighten their knowledge about contemporary access issues, and we are prototyping, testing, and building 27 new permanent exhibits, a respite space, and access resources for our reopening. Our popular bi-monthly Super Family Sunday events allow free and exclusive access to the JMZ for families who have children with disabilities and provide us opportunities for testing, feedback and connection. This project will greatly inform our work on California Dinosaur Garden. Who or what will benefit from your project? Specifically, this project will serve these two audiences: 1) Children (ages 3-11) and the caregivers 2) Families of children with cognitive and physical disabilities (often children have multiple challenges) The general audience of the JMZ is ages 0-9 years for the visiting public and up to 5th grade for school field trips and programs. This exhibition will focus on children ages 3 and above. Fascination with dinosaurs often begins in preschool, and we will capitalize on that early interest. Elementary school-aged children are learning about paleontology in school, and this exhibition will support them. This project will provide an exciting learning experience for all children and their families in the San Francisco Bay Area. Creating an accessible experience for people with disabilities ultimately means the California Dinosaur Garden will be a better experience for all visitors. Specific accommodations focused on access for children with disabilities provide spillover benefits for visitors of all ages, including elders with physical or cognitive challenges. DocuSign Envelope ID: ABAA258A-BF44-4BA8-9A13-EBE80699249B 1 | Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo, MFA Narrative 1. Project Justification What do you propose to do? Enduringly popular, dinosaurs provide an inviting entry-point to engaging young children—and adults—in science. For many children, the thrill of discovering dinosaurs, and the world they inhabited, is an early introduction to biology, paleontology, geology, and other branches of science. The Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo is requesting IMLS support in the amount of $250,000 for California Dinosaur Garden, a permanent exhibition project, which will promote science learning and an inclusive experience for families with children with disabilities. This three-year project will leverage JMZ’s longstanding expertise in providing families with engaging, age-appropriate STEM experiences and our deep institutional commitment to inclusion for people of all abilities. The California Dinosaur Garden will create a “living diorama” interpreting the Cretaceous period in California. Located in a 4,160 square foot exterior courtyard, this engrossing experience, built around an existing dawn redwood tree, will feature prehistoric plants within a seasonal marsh landscape, interactive interpretive exhibits, including a Fossil Dig, and life-size dinosaur and prehistoric animal sculptures. In 2017, the JMZ completed a $32 million capital campaign to support a complete rebuild of the obsolete Museum and Zoo on its existing site, almost doubling in size. Construction began in June 2018, and the grand opening of the new facility is planned for July 2020. Informed by strategic marketing experts advising on community engagement, JMZ is preparing for a highly anticipated opening. It is also planning innovative experiences to maintain visitation and enthusiasm after opening the new facility. By completing preliminary designs for California Dinosaur Garden before opening, the garden area will be ready to support this future accessible exhibition. It will then launch final exhibit design, testing and fabrication, and open this new experience in the second year of operation. The California Dinosaur Garden project goals are to: 1.) Provide rich science learning exhibits for children and their caregivers about dinosaurs and life over time. By exploring fossils and prehistoric flora and fauna, children can understand changes over time, thus introducing more complex, yet age-appropriate, ideas about evolution and extinction. 2.) Champion inclusion and deliver an accessible experience for children with disabilities. By creating California Dinosaur Garden based on universal design principals that go well beyond ADA requirements, this truly inclusive project will benefit children with disabilities and all visitors to the JMZ. This goal is built upon JMZ’s established inclusion efforts and the current IMLS-funded project, Access From the Ground Up, addressing the lack of quality STEM education opportunities for the growing number of children with disabilities and making the new facility and exhibitions currently under construction accessible to everyone. An additional strategic benefit of this project is to support institutional sustainability by creating an exciting experience that maintains community engagement, attendance, and revenue after the new facility opens in 2020. The project activities to achieve the goals of the California Dinosaur Garden will include 1) the completion of initial concept design and front end evaluation to inform exhibit development; 2) design development, prototyping and formative evaluation; 3) design drawing and contracting with fabricators, installers and other needed contractors; and 4) fabrication and installation of exhibits and sculptures. We will also develop and launch a compelling marketing campaign throughout the Bay Area to secure attendance. After California Dinosaur Garden opens in March 2022, we will conduct summative evaluation and plan for any necessary remediation to exhibit components. The California Dinosaur Garden experience - A sensory-rich garden is an opportune area to provide a tactile, immersive exhibit experience for all learners, including those with disabilities. Fossils, dinosaurs, and prehistoric animals capture the imagination of children and adults, and provide perspective for the human place in the world. California Dinosaur Garden will interpret the Cretaceous period and provide visitors with a better understanding of the dinosaurs, flora, and fauna that once lived in California. The main message, which will be refined during front-end evaluation, is: California was a different place when dinosaurs existed but some of the plants and animals, or ones similar to them, still exist today. By focusing on California, we help children understand change over time by comparing their familiar environment to what it was like millions of years ago. Our existing mature tree—preserved during construction as a DocuSign Envelope ID: ABAA258A-BF44-4BA8-9A13-EBE80699249B 2 | Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo, MFA Narrative major feature in the outdoor exhibition area—has a fascinating story for interpretation. During the age of the dinosaurs, the endangered, deciduous dawn redwood tree, Metasequoia glyptostroboides, was one of the most common trees in the northern hemisphere, including California. It was thought to be extinct until it was discovered in China in 1944. The exhibition will feature this “living fossil” along with other prehistoric plants and animals. This outdoor learning experience is an ideal launching point to introduce children, and their adults, to paleontology and how scientists use evidence to inform our scientific body of knowledge. As stated by Richard K. Stucky, former curator at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science: Paleontology “inspires a wealth of curiosity by students about ancient life and helps all of us to know about our origins and how our world with humans came to be … But knowledge of the fossil record is misunderstood by many. In a recent analysis by the National Science Foundation, just over half of American adults sampled actually believed that dinosaurs and the earliest human beings lived during the same time.” The California Dinosaur Garden enables us to connect geologic time in California with the timelines of our visitors, showcasing a very special tree specimen while addressing the need for paleontology education for young learners through universally designed exhibit experiences. The other centerpiece of California Dinosaur Garden will be a climbing dinosaur sculpture of an Aletopelta coombsi, a type of ankylosaur that eats plants. It is an unusual dinosaur with a bulky body covered in bony armor with a club on its tail for defense. As herbivores, ankylosaurs likely grazed in lush areas near water. A marsh nearby will reflect the environment that existed in California millions of years ago. The seasonal marsh will be created by collecting and filtering storm water from the JMZ parking lot and will be landscaped with prehistoric plants that are still in existence today. Interpretive signage with illustrations and a tactile map of prehistoric California will help young visitors and their caregivers understand that most of California, including the Bay Area, was covered by ocean during the Cretaceous period. It is a predominant reason that there are not many dinosaur fossils in California— leaving gaps in our understanding of dinosaur-age land animals. Utilizing fossils and replica fossils, we will tell the story of how fossil evidence informs our understanding of the distant past. Below the dawn redwood tree and amongst the plants, there will be two additional sculptures, an Ichthyornis, a toothed plunge-diving bird, and a Pteranodon sternbergi, a flying reptile with a 16’ wingspan. These specimens were chosen because they were common animals in California during the Cretaceous period and represent a variety of species that may challenge visitors’ preconceived notions of dinosaur-age animals. We intend to represent these animals in non-aggressive poses to counter the menacing stereotypes that exist of dinosaurs in popular culture and to avoid frightening young children. An ADA compliant deck will provide access to the garden for all visitors. The deck will surround the dawn redwood, and the hands-on exhibits and signage will be located on it. The fenced landscaped area under the dawn redwood will contain one or more of the life-size sculptures among the plants and will not be accessible to the public. This will also be a protected location for our living tortoises and turtles—animals alive today that also roamed during the age of the dinosaurs. Visitors who are blind and visually impaired may enter this area and touch the tortoises and sculptures with staff facilitation. A wheelchair accessible ramp will provide access to the climbable Aletopelta dinosaur and Fossil Dig. Connected to a classroom, the deck will provide space for short programs—some specifically related to paleontology (see Supporting Document 1). California Dinosaur Garden interpretive exhibits (10) will include touchable collections, such as real and replica fossils, petrified wood, rocks and living plants. There will be many other tactile elements. For example to interpret the dawn redwood tree, we intend to have a bas relief of the tree and a gathering of its real pine cones, needles, and small branches. To help visitors understand dinosaur sounds, we will have a sound exhibit that mimics the hollow, vertical crest on a duck-billed dinosaur’s head, which is believed to have been a resonance chamber for vocalization. Tactile illustrations presented in a storybook format will depict the varieties of animals that existed—dinosaurs, marine reptiles, flying reptiles, and birds. We will also have tactile illustrations that depict unique Californian environments showcasing plant and animal diversity. These sensory-rich and touchable elements—essential for all DocuSign Envelope ID: ABAA258A-BF44-4BA8-9A13-EBE80699249B 3 | Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo, MFA Narrative young children—will provide access for visitors who are blind or visually impaired, or who have disabilities that benefit from sensory interpretation. The Fossil Dig exhibit will contain buried replica fossils of Californian marine reptiles, such as a large Plesiosaur. Since much of California was underwater during the age of dinosaurs, Fossil Dig will focus on this unique story. Children will be able to dig and discover the fossils using tools—a developmentally appropriate experience for young visitors due to its hands-on nature. A wheelchair accessible fossil dig table and a wheelchair transfer station into the Fossil Dig will provide two ways for people with limited mobility to experience the exhibit. The California Dinosaur Garden will help children and their adults learn about prehistoric animals and plants, when they lived, and what the world was like then. Understanding the past is an important precursor to understanding complex topics that are so relevant today, like climate change, ecosystem change, and evolution. What need, problem, or challenge will your project address, and how was it identified? Need for quality science learning opportunities for families For children to develop a scientific understanding of complex topics, such as paleontology, geology, climate change, and evolution, they need a foundation to build upon as they learn about these seemingly counterintuitive concepts. Building a foundation begins with compelling storytelling. Utilizing creative exhibit techniques to tell stories can help children understand the diversity of prehistoric life that existed, that plants and animals evolved over time and some went extinct, and that scientists use fossil and geologic evidence to inform our scientific understanding. While this exhibition will not deeply focus on topics like evolution or climate change, it will set the stage for a child’s understanding of life changing over time and will address the need for this kind of science learning. “Despite being one of the foundational principles of biology, evolution is not widely accepted among the U.S. public (though the number is rising). High levels of misconceptions about basic evolutionary principles are found even among middle- and high-school teachers and college undergraduates,” states Rob O'Malley, Senior Program Associate with American Association for the Advancement of Science’s Dialog on Science, Ethics and Religion program. He goes on to write, “I believe that understanding the fundamentals of evolutionary theory can be critical for engaging with many pressing issues at the interface of the life sciences and society, ranging from conservation decisions, to human diversity, to epidemiology, and to other issues related to human health and well-being.” Psychologists and brain science researchers are uncovering new information on our ability to comprehend basic concepts of evolutionary biology and the importance of introducing young children to these concepts so they may develop a greater capacity for analytical thinking. In her article, “Starting Early: The Benefits of Teaching Counterintuitive Concepts in Childhood,” Ashle Bailey-Gilreath, Research Assistant at the Institute of Cognitive and Evolutionary Anthropology at the University of Oxford, observes, “Previous research has shown that belief in evolution can be predicted by many demographic and cultural factors, such as religious ideology, political affiliation, and even what country you live in. However, research within the fields of psychology and the cognitive science of religion are beginning to uncover the cognitive mechanisms that underlie this phenomena. This new research also hints at some important strategies: we should begin teaching children how to grasp concepts like evolution while they are young, rather than waiting until they are teenagers.” She goes on to state that young children are capable of understanding these concepts when compelling storytelling techniques are used. In researching the knowledge of our local audience, we learned that many adults are still unclear on scientific principles of evolution. The 2014 Religious Landscape Study by the Pew Research Center discovered that 55% of adults in the San Francisco metro area believe humans evolved due to natural processes. However, the balance of 45% believe that humans evolved due to God’s design (19%), or humans always existed in present form (19%), or they evolved, but don’t know how (3%), or that they don’t know (3%). Additionally, there is a regional dearth of quality learning experiences in paleontology for children and their caregivers. One of the project’s scientific advisors, C. Kevin Boyce, Professor of Paleontology at Stanford, DocuSign Envelope ID: ABAA258A-BF44-4BA8-9A13-EBE80699249B 5 | Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo, MFA Narrative How will your project advance your institution’s strategic plan? The California Dinosaur Garden advances four goals of the JMZ Strategic Plan (2018-2022); to promote quality science learning opportunities for children; increase accessibility and inclusion for people with disabilities; strengthen existing, and advance new, community partnerships; and develop financial sustainability. The plan outlines actionable tactics, which will be advanced by this project (see Strategic Plan Summary for details). How will your project address the goals of the Museums for America program and align with the project category you have chosen? This project directly addresses the Museum For America program and Learning Experiences project goals. It strengthens the JMZ’s institutional capacity to provide meaningful learning experiences for visitors of all abilities by 1) creating age-appropriate, multi-sensory, and inclusive science learning exhibits for children and their caregivers; 2) leveraging competencies in inclusion and delivering accessible experiences for children with disabilities. The California Dinosaur Garden project will expand upon our project-based design of the innovative—and thus far highly successful—IMLS-supported Access From the Ground Up project. We will take learnings and competencies we have gained from preparing our new facility and apply this in-depth knowledge, experience, and our relationships to California Dinosaur Garden to increase our institutional impact. Formative and summative evaluation is a priority for IMLS and for the JMZ and will show demonstrable results of specific needs and project objectives. 2. Project Work Plan What specific activities, including evaluation and performance measurements, will you carry out? When and in what sequence will your activities occur? The timeline for the California Dinosaur Garden project covers a 36-month period, from October 2019 to September 2022. To fulfill our goals, we will undertake the following activities: Completion of Initial Concept phase (Year One - Oct. 2019 to Sept. 2020) – This includes front end evaluation by consultant Adam Klinger; input from scientific advisors and our JMZ Accessibility Advisory Team, and completion of initial exhibit concepts and layout of the exhibits. In addition, the Fossil Dig boulders and area will be completed by the general contractor building the new facility. Design Development phase (Year Two – Oct. 2020 to March 2021) – Prototyping and formative evaluation of exhibits; refining exhibit layout based on the prototyping phase; definition of potential contractors, preliminary materials, and text and graphic styles. Design Drawing and Contracting phase (Year Two – April to Sept. 2021) – Graphic design and text writing, completion of fabrication drawings and scope of work, and consultation with structural engineers for sculptural requirements. Contracting with fabricators and beginning of marketing will also occur. Fabrication & Installation and Marketing phase (Year Three – Oct. 2021 to April 2022) – Sculptures are fabricated offsite and footings will be installed. Graphic production will take place, and exhibits will be installed. The marketing campaign will occur to generate excitement about the opening in March 2022. Summative Evaluation and Completion phase (Year Three – April to Sept. 2022) – This final phase includes summative evaluation by Adam Klinger, remediation planning, final reporting and project dissemination. What is your project’s maturity level (i.e. exploratory, piloting, scaling, or mainstreaming)? While we will be piloting new access techniques in some of the California Dinosaur Garden exhibits, this project is positioning JMZ to enter the scaling phase of our work with the Access from the Ground Up project by deepening relationships with our inclusion partners, sharing techniques and lessons learned with colleagues in the cultural community, and continuing to integrate inclusion into staff practices on all levels of our work at JMZ. What are the risks to the project and are they accounted for in the work plan? Prototyping of exhibits is an activity associated with unknown outcomes, and this can be challenging. Formative evaluation informs the exhibit designs, therefore budgeting for exhibit features and inclusion components is difficult. However, these unknown design outcomes are what drive the kind of innovation we seek. Being a small and nimble staff, we are willing to try new approaches and respond to feedback from stakeholders. The reviewer who conducted the JMZ 2014 MAP Community Engagement Report wrote, “Embrace ‘test and try’ as an integral DocuSign Envelope ID: ABAA258A-BF44-4BA8-9A13-EBE80699249B 6 | Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo, MFA Narrative part of the organizational culture. It was great to experience such open-minded thinking between the Friends Board, the City, and the staff. You have tested and tried so many things with limited resources, and it is very much what makes the museum special and flexible to adapt to change.” A secondary risk is that the initial concept phase occurs while the staff is completing building construction, building exhibits for the new JMZ, and preparing for the grand opening of the new facility in July 2020. This risk was accounted for by making the initial concept phase much longer than it would normally be. Who will plan, implement, and manage your project? Key JMZ staff who will be involved in this project include the following: Project Director: Tina Keegan, Exhibits Director, JMZ has been designing exhibits for 20 years at science and children’s museums with previous experience designing and prototyping exhibits with people with disabilities. Since 2010 she has led the JMZ Accessibility Initiative. In 2015, she participated in the California Association for Museums’ Accessibility Collaborative. As Project Director, she will provide direction and oversight. She will manage the exhibition development process, complete the design work on the project, and oversee contractors. John Aikin, Executive Director, JMZ, brings 38 years of experience in museums and zoos. His backgrounds are in biological science, exhibit design, and institutional management. At the San Francisco Zoo, he managed projects that cost from a few thousand to tens of millions of dollars. He has extensive experience in the administration of grants and will ensure that the project is completed on time and within budget. Alexandra Hamilton, Education Director, JMZ, has over 31 years of experience in education and museum programs. Committed to advancing JMZ’s educational mission, she will participate in exhibition development. Accessibility Coordinator, TBD – This part-time position will manage the accessibility project activities by connecting the team to advisors and people with disabilities for feedback. The Coordinator will provide guidance and counsel on ADA and best practices for accessibility throughout the project. What time, financial, personnel, and other resources will you need to carry out the activities? This project funds an Accessibility Coordinator and accessible exhibits, including sculptures, braille, tactile elements, graphics, and translation and evaluation services. We need scientific expertise in paleontology, geology, and botany. The following scientific advisors have committed to serve on the project: Richard Hilton, author of Dinosaurs and Other Mesozoic Reptiles of California; Kevin C. Boyle, Stanford University Professor of Geology and a paleobotanist; Michael Hawkins, Program Director and Natalie Brubaker, Education Director at Canopy (nonprofit dedicated to trees). We need assistance in evaluation and will contract with an outside evaluator, Adam Klinger. How will you track your progress toward achieving your intended results? The Exhibits Director and Executive Director will oversee the project ensuring it achieves its goals. The Exhibits Director will track progress by managing the schedule and budget and by creating action items from formative evaluations, exhibit meetings, and prototyping sessions. Summative evaluation (detailed below and in Supporting Document 2) will measure if the project has achieved its goals and inform remediation to make improvements. How and with whom will you share your project’s results? California Dinosaur Garden will be a model project for small- to mid-sized natural science and other cultural institutions. The outdoor “living diorama” environment with realistic sculptures and creative hands-on storytelling exhibits will offer a unique way for institutions to engage children in paleontology, and the universally designed experience will be an example of access and inclusion. The CAISE report (2010) outlines “the lack of systemic and accepted professional standards for approaching the inclusion of all individuals—especially those with disabilities— presents the greatest challenge for making inclusion a routine and commonplace practice in the field” of informal science education. Through this project work, JMZ staff will provide resources for other museum and zoo professionals by hosting networking events (such as the Bay Area Arts Access Collective), presenting at professional conferences (such as ASTC, ACM, AZA, and LEAD), posting the project on ExhibitFiles, and writing articles about the project. Evaluation results will be shared by posting it on the JMZ website and informalscience.org DocuSign Envelope ID: ABAA258A-BF44-4BA8-9A13-EBE80699249B 7 | Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo, MFA Narrative 3. Project Results Referring to the Agency-Level Goal selected on the Program Information Sheet (i.e. Promote Lifelong Learning), review the Performance Measure Statements appropriate for your project and describe how you will collect and report the corresponding data. While addressing all the Agency-Level Goals, the project most closely aligns with IMLS’s Goal to Promote Lifelong Learning by providing families with an opportunity for science discovery and helping children to develop critical thinking skills. The relevant Performance Measure Statements for families, including those who have children with disabilities, include: 1) My understanding has increased as a result of this program/training; 2) My interest in this subject has increased as a result of this program/training and 3) I am confident I can apply what I learned in this program/training. These performance goals will be incorporated into the summative evaluation study by Adam Klinger, project evaluator. A multimodal research design will collect qualitative and quantitative data from various audience members. It will include visitor exit surveys, which will incorporate standardized IMLS performance measure statements in addition to internally generated questions (see Supporting Document 2 for details). Referring to your Project Justification, describe your project’s intended results that will address the need, problem, or challenge you have identified. These may be in addition to, but not instead of, the Performance Measure Statements specified in Appendix Three. Through the California Dinosaur Garden project, the JMZ will provide rich science learning exhibits for children and their caregivers about prehistoric animals and the evolution of life over time and deliver an accessible experience for children with disabilities. Front-end evaluation will allow us to understand pre- existing knowledge, experience and interests in the California dinosaur age and evolution, as well as collect suggestions for improving accessibility. This visitor feedback will be used to help inform the final learning objectives and refine exhibition topics in order to provide rich learning opportunities and inclusion. A main goal of the project summative evaluation is to assess the success of the exhibition in meeting both learning and accessibility goals. A multimodal approach will be used and will include visitor exit surveys and intercept interviews. Questions will prompt visitors to assess their perceptions of the exhibition and probe for understanding about the concepts presented. Summative evaluation findings will also inform exhibit remediation. How will the knowledge, skills, behaviors, and/or attitudes of the intended audience change as a result of your project? Children aged 3-11 years, including those with cognitive and physical disabilities, will have increased access to science learning experiences, thereby increasing their knowledge of dinosaurs and the evolution of life over time and creating a positive feeling and long-term capabilities for science learning. Families who have children with disabilities will feel welcome and included, and become regular visitors to the JMZ. By demonstrating inclusive practices throughout our facility, it is our hope that behaviors and attitudes of JMZ visitors towards people with disabilities will change with increased empathy and desire to support all children and families. What tangible products will result from your project? The following products will result from the California Dinosaur Garden project: The California Dinosaur Garden exhibition, including 10 hands-on interpretive exhibits, a Fossil Dig, a seasonal marsh landscape, a living tortoise exhibit, and 3 life-size prehistoric animal sculptures, Fully inclusive exhibits, including wheelchair access to the garden experience, climbing dinosaur, and Fossil Dig, a wheelchair transfer station for fossil dig, braille labels, and tactile, sensory-rich elements, Summative Evaluation Report will document findings, inform remediation and future strategies, and be disseminated to the informal science learning field. How will you sustain the benefit(s) of your project? The JMZ Strategic Plan directs the project’s science education goals and that exhibits must be sustained and maintained over the long-term. The JMZ has an 83-year track record of sustained community service and consistent funding from the City of Palo Alto. The Accessibility Advisory Team will continue to advise the JMZ on future remediation and projects. Creating an inclusive experience for people with disabilities ultimately means JMZ will be a better experience for all visitors. As an experience built from the ground up for accessibility, California Dinosaur Garden will be a role model for other institutions—exemplifying the inclusion of people with disabilities throughout the design process and the innovation that people who experience the world differently can bring to that process.

Background The state Legislature concluded its 2020 session on August 31, 2020. This year’s session was unlike any other, with a state plagued again by wildfires, calls for police reform, and with a pandemic causing the introduction of multiple bills, a shortened legislative session, and budget restrictions. Through it all, issues such as affordable housing, energy procurement, and public health remained, as noted in the attachment, a report on all the bills tracked by City staff. Bills noted as “Enrolled” have been approved by the Legislature, and as of the writing of this report are awaiting signature or veto by the Governor. Mr. De Luca will offer a legislative summary of this year and provide information about what the City might expect in the 2021 session. Environmental Review Acceptance of a verbal presentation does not meet the definition of a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act and therefore, no environmental review is required.

Executive Summary Through the recommended actions, the City Council would enable the operation of a 24-hour safe parking program at 2000 Geng Road (the site). Safe parking refers to programs and places which allow households dwelling in their vehicles to park vehicles in a designated off-street parking lot. The programs provide a place for the households to park on a temporary basis, as well as connect the households to services, and a path to stable, permanent housing. The proposed site, most recently the temporary fire station during the construction of fire City of Palo Alto Page 2 station 3, will be leased to the County of Santa Clara (County). The County has selected and entered into contract with a local non-profit organization that will operate the safe parking program at this site. The expenses associated with the program’s operation will be borne completely by the County. The organization, Move Mountain View, operates the “Lots of Love” program. Lots of Love currently operates 5 safe parking lots in Mountain View. The proposed ordinance expands safe parking uses to City-owned land zoned for Public Facilities (PF District). Prior Council action limited safe parking programs to religious congregations and/or institutions subject to capacity limits and operation standards. The lease agreement (Attachment B) allows the County to lease the 2000 Geng Road site for three years and provide safe parking for up to 12 recreational vehicles and/or passenger cars on a 24-hour basis. At no time can the site capacity exceed 12 vehicles. Background On January 13, 2020, City Council approved a tier one safe parking program. The adoption of the ordinance and municipal code section enabling safe parking occurred after months of careful consideration and discussion. These discussions are outlined below. On June 10, 2019, the Palo Alto City Council discussed a Colleagues’ Memorandum1 regarding safe parking and voted 5-1 (Tanaka dissenting, DuBois absent) to direct the Policy and Services Committee to craft program details to bring back to the City Council.2 On September 10, 2019, the Policy and Services Committee met and directed staff to “return [to the Committee] with a safe parking program for up to four vehicles on private property containing religious institutions (tier one).” 3,4 On November 12, 2019, the Policy and Services Committee considered a proposed tier one safe parking program.5 The Committee voted unanimously to support it. Following that, the Council considered and approved the program in January 2020. The ordinance went into effect 30 days after its second reading. The tier one framework allows congregations and religious institutions to host up to 4 vehicles overnight on their parking lots. At the time Council passed the ordinance enabling tier one programs, several congregations expressed interest in pursuing permits to operate programs at their facilities. At that time, staff wanted to focus on supporting the permitting and operations 1 Colleagues’ Memorandum: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?t=41728&BlobID=71688 2 Minutes from 6-10-19 City Council meeting: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/fileban, k/blobdload.aspx?t=71062.13&BlobID=72707 3 Staff report from 9-10-19: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?t=53413.28&BlobID=73215 4 Minutes from Policy & Services Committee meeting on 9-10-19: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?t=48524.18&BlobID=73675 55 Action minutes from 11-12-2019 Policy & Services Committee Meeting: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?t=45151.19&BlobID=74755 City of Palo Alto Page 3 of tier one programs. Staff hoped to learn from the tier one program and return to Council later in 2020 or early 2021 with tier two and three programs. In the discussions leading up the passage the above referenced ordinance, staff recommended a three-tiered approach to developing and operating safe parking programs within Palo Alto. Tier one referred to safe parking programs at congregations with just 4 vehicles parking overnight. Tier two referred to safe parking programs on any private parking lot (expanding from congregations only to include other areas) with more than 4 vehicles. Tier three referred to programs operating on publicly owned land. Tiered Approach to Safe Parking Programs Tier One Tier Two Tier Three Location Congregations and/or Religious Institutions Any private parking lot (including congregations) Public parking lots Vehicles 4 vehicles More than 4 More than 4 Service Time Overnight only Overnight only Overnight, 24 hours possible Only a month after the ordinance’s second reading and the launch of the tier one program, the County issued the first Shelter in Place Order to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19. Due to limited resources and the challenges of responding to the pandemic, no congregations have been able to launch tier one programs. Subsequently, Supervisor Joe Simitian, representative of the Palo Alto area on the County Board of Supervisors, worked with his colleagues to secure funding to operate a safe parking program in Palo Alto. Similar County-supported programs are currently operating in neighboring Mountain View. To operate the program in Palo Alto, staff recommends moving forward with the tier three program. By developing this program, the County can operate this program in and serve the Palo Alto community. Discussion Staff proposes the safe parking program operate at a city-owned facility at 2000 Geng Road. This site, pictured in Attachment C, is near the Baylands Athletic Center. Most recently, the portion proposed to be leased served as the temporary fire station during construction of station 3. Another portion of the site is currently licensed to Anderson Honda; this portion would continue to be licensed to the Honda dealership and would not be part of the safe parking program. The site is approximately 24,204 square feet. The site features a paved area where the vehicles City of Palo Alto Page 4 of safe parking program participants would be parked. The site also features several buildings, including the structure that served as the fire house (three bedrooms and kitchen), a building with showers and restrooms, and small garage structures. The lease would allow the safe parking operator use of the parking areas as well as the buildings. The fencing, lighting, access to utilities, and restrooms and showers make this an ideal location for safe parking. If the program is successful and more funds become available, the City and County may consider expanding to additional sites or moving the program to another, larger location. The program operator, Move Mountain View, is an organization dedicated to alleviating the problem of homelessness and engaging the community in assisting the underprivileged among us. Move Mountain View started in 2016 with the goal of bringing faith communities, non- profits, and government agencies together to combat the effects of the growing crisis of homelessness. The organization address the pressing needs of people living in their vehicles. In response, Move Mountain View began its first program, Lots of Love, a partnership between faith communities, the Community Services Agency, and Santa Clara County and the City of Mountain View that allows safe, stable overnight parking to people living in vehicles. Currently, Move Mountain View operates 5 parking lots in Mountain View. Two are smaller lots at congregations, and 3 are larger in scale. Through operating this lot, Move Mountain View would expand its program to Palo Alto. The lease of 2000 Geng Road (as described above) is before the Council for consideration. While the lease has been discussed and the terms agreed to by City and County staff, following the Council’s approval the County will need to sign the lease. Once the lease is executed, the County can take possession of the property and make the improvements necessary for program operation. These improvements include adding additional pedestrian exiting gates, securing the open garage bays to ensure the safety of participants, and developing a layout for the vehicles. Also before the Council is an amendment to the Palo Alto Municipal Code amending the safe parking ordinance. Earlier this year, the City Council adopted an interim ordinance that established the tier one program described above with receiving a recommendation from the Planning and Transportation Commission. The municipal code allows the City Council to streamline procedural requirements for temporary regulations when necessary for the public health, safety or welfare.6 To implement the proposed lease and use of the subject property as a safe parking facility, it is recommended the Council take the same approach with the understanding that a permanent ordinance will be prepared and reviewed by the Planning and Transportation in 2021. 6 PAMC Section 18.80.090 (Excerpt) …. Nothing in this section shall prevent the city council from changing or suspending operation of any provision of this title for temporary periods when in the determination of the council such suspension or change is necessary for the public health, safety or welfare. In such case, planning commission review shall not be required. City of Palo Alto Page 5 If the interim ordinance is approved at this meeting, the ordinance’s final reading will occur on or around September 21, 2020. The ordinance then goes into effect on the 31st day thereafter. During this intervening time, the site improvements can occur and outreach with local households living in their vehicles can begin. Such outreach and screening can prepare these households to enter the safe parking program once the site is opened. Summary of Key Issues and Policy Implications Staff propose that only parcels zoned for public facilities (PF) be eligible to host tier three safe parking programs. Tier three programs are distinguished from other tiers in that (1) the number of eligible vehicles is controlled by the capacity of the parking lot; (2) the programs can only occur on land zoned for public facilities (PF); and (3) the programs can operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Conditions of operation would include many of the requirements for tier one programs, such as requirements to keep the premises safe and orderly, to provide restrooms, and other requirements. Any site proposed for safe parking must comply with local fire codes, and therefore must provide adequate exiting and will be limited in the number of vehicles that can safely be parked on site. The operator must submit a layout plan for review by the Palo Alto Fire Inspection division. This review ensures that the vehicles are not too close, that emergency vehicles can provide service to the site, and that the proper exiting from the site is provided based on the number of households proposed to be present at the site. By allowing the site to control the number of vehicles that can occupy a site, this tier creates flexibility. By operating on PF land only, the City of Palo Alto can retain greater control and influence over the operation of these programs. By allowing the program to operate 24/7, the safe parking program, participants do not have to leave the site during the day. This prevents the problem of vehicles reappearing on city streets during the day, which can create line-of-sight issues and other neighborhood challenges. Being able to stay in one place also creates stability for the participants, allowing them to have a foundation upon which to secure stable housing. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the ability to stay in place and limit movement around the city is of greater importance; such semi- permanency will help limit the spread of COVID-19. Staff propose that details regarding the program operations, such as the maximum number of vehicles, any site-specific standards of operations, or other terms be negotiated between the City and the operator and included in the lease agreement or contract with the operator. It is unlikely the City of Palo Alto will directly operate safe parking programs. Instead, the City is City of Palo Alto Page 6 likely to work with professional program operators. Staff propose that leases or contracts for safe parking be brought forward to the City Council on consent for approval. Staff propose that notice of the lease agreement or contract be noticed to owners and residents within 600-foot radius of the proposed site. Any persons opposed to the program can attend the City Council meeting and correspond with City Council to voice their concerns. If desired, the Council can pull the lease or contract from the consent agenda for discussion. For the County’s part, on January 23, 2019, the County adopted a resolution and declared a “shelter crisis” in Santa Clara County. This shelter crisis allowed the County to open and operate facilities serving persons experiencing homelessness. The County argues that their shelter crisis extends to lands owned by the County as well as to lands leased by the County. Because the land is owned by the City and requires the City’s discretionary approval of a lease, however, staff recommend amending the PAMC and the safe parking ordinance to explicitly describe the tier three program. If the County’s shelter crisis were to expire, for example, the tier three program could continue to operate based on the rules set forward in the PAMC. The space proposed for lease is not currently slated for a specific use by the City of Palo Alto. Leasing the former temporary fire station has little to no impact on the City’s operations. The area is located near the Baylands Athletic Center. Supporters of athletics at this site and members of the Parks and Recreation Commission have expressed a desire to see the 2000 Geng Road site—including the portion leased to the Honda dealership and the site—become park land. This is a long-range goal. The operation of safe parking at this site for up to three years does not interfere with this long-range goal. Nearby to the proposed site are several sensitive uses. Two private schools are located nearby, these are Fusion Academy and Silicon Valley International School. In addition, the site is located near the Baylands, including a popular trail head. While these uses are sensitive to operational aspects of other more intense land uses, it is not anticipated that implementation of the safe parking program at this location would impact those existing facilities. The site is fenced off from the surrounding area and screened from view. Passersby will largely be unaware of the presence of the safe parking program. Program participants are not allowed to empty their RVs on the site nor are they allowed to let trash accumulate on the site. Finally, only participants in the program are allowed to use the safe parking site. Other households dwelling in vehicles are not allowed. Accordingly, it is not expected this area will attract more individuals dwelling in their vehicles as they will not be admitted to the site. Resource Impact This land is not slated for any specific use by the City of Palo Alto. There are no existing leases for this land. Therefore, the lease is a no-cost lease. The City does bear the opportunity cost; if leased at market rates, the City could generate in revenue from the site. The City is forfeiting this revenue in opportunity in pursuit of policy goals. City of Palo Alto Page 7 The City is not bearing any financial responsibility for the operation of this site. The County will bear all costs associated with the operation of the site, including any needed improvements or repairs to the site. Timeline As previously stated, the ordinance must have a second reading before going into effect. The site improvements must be in place before the program can operate. Stakeholder Engagement: On Monday August 31, 2020 the City of Palo Alto held a “Safe Parking Neighborhood Check In” from 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm via Zoom. The meeting program featured program operator Move Mountain View, Supervisor Joe Simitian, City Manager Ed Shikada, and representaitves from the County’s Office of Supportive Housing. Approximately 15 members of the public attended the meeting. A few members asked questions about the program’s operation. No objections to the program were raised. In addition, the Council meeting was noticed to owners and occupants within 600 feet of the proposed safe parking site. An ad was placed in the Daily Post on September 4, 2020. Environmental Review Adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). This Ordinance identifies the regulations governing the use of certain, limited sites for safe parking. The ordinance itself does not authorize the use of any sites without subsequent approval from the City. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment. The lease agreement for Safe Parking at 2000 Geng Road is exempt from CEQA in accordance with Section 15301 and 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15301 applies to leasing or minor alterations of existing public or private structures and facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use; allowing the use of this existing parking lot for temporary safe parking would not constitute a significant expansion of use. Section 15303 applies to conversion of small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made to the structure. This applies to buildings up to 10,000 sf in urban areas. No modifications are proposed to the existing structures and the existing buildings total 5,500 sf in this urbanized area. This site is further from the Baylands and closer to nearby roadways. Only a portion of these existing structures would be open for use to facilitate safe parking at the site.

Findings and declarations. The City Council finds and declares as follows: A. The number of households dwelling in vehicles has grown substantially in the past decade. The lack of stable, affordable housing and other life circumstances have contributed to this growth. B. On thoroughfares throughout the city, individuals, families, and households of many kinds can be found dwelling in recreational vehicles, trucks, vans, cars, and other motorized vehicles. C. The City must, for the health, safety, and welfare of the community, identify and implement short‐term and long‐term solutions that support these households as they pursue and ultimately secure affordable, stable housing. Safe parking programs, which offer off‐street, authorized parking spots in parking lots for households dwelling in their vehicles, represent a short‐term solution. D. The County of Santa Clara has expressed a desire and willingness to host safe parking programs on City land to provide assistance to homeless households as they seek and follow a path towards stable housing. E. The presence of these vehicles and the accompanying administration of assistance is a minor additional use that would not conflict with the primary use of the properties nor threaten the health, safety, or welfare of the community or its inhabitants. The administration of such programs serves to enhance the health, safety, and welfare of the community. // // // // // *NOT YET APPROVED* 2 210_20200902_ts_24 SECTION 2.

Other than for Safe Parking, County will not, nor will County allow anyone else to, park on, remove, relocate, alter, attach anything to, or otherwise modify the Premises, without the prior written consent in each instance of the City, which consent may be granted or withheld in the City’s sole and absolute discretion. County shall not do anything or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants. County understands, acknowledges, accepts and agrees that City is entering into this Agreement in its capacity DocuSign Envelope ID: 02762FB1-87BD-4F3D-930D-95BEB6C674BD 1557619 2 as a property owner with a proprietary interest in the Premises and not as a regulatory agency with police powers.

The City shall not have any obligation to make any alterations, repairs, maintenance or improvements to the Premises prior to the commencement of the Term or at any time thereafter. c. County shall not alter the Premises without the prior written consent of the City. County shall obtain, maintain and pay for all permits and licenses that may be or are required for the use of the Premises.

County shall not allow any mechanic’s or other liens to be made against the property and shall indemnify and save harmless City against all costs, liabilities, suits, claims and demands, including legal fees and court costs, resulting from any such liens. d. Prior to opening the Premises for Safe Parking, County shall, at its own expense, make the following improvements to the Premises: i. Ensure the Premises have two pedestrian exiting gates that allow persons to exit the Premises towards Geng Road. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the County shall not be required to remove or restore any new exiting improvements added to the Premises at the end of the DocuSign Envelope ID: 02762FB1-87BD-4F3D-930D-95BEB6C674BD 1557619 3 Term. The plans for any new exiting gates shall be subject the reasonable approval of the City. ii. Install means of controlling access to the garage bays on the Premises. Such means of controlling access may be chain link fencing and gates or other means. County shall remove the means of access control at the end of this Lease unless City waives this in writing. iii. The County is permitted, though not required, to stripe the surface of the parking area to demarcate where vehicles may be permitted. The County shall submit to the City plans for the layout of the vehicles prior to operating the Safe Parking program.

Summary The Secretary of State has qualified 12 measures for the November 2020 statewide ballot. Locally, the Palo Alto Unified School District, the Santa Clara Valley Water District, and Caltrain each have a tax measure on the November ballot. Below, staff provides a brief description of the measures, as well as the potential financial impact to cities, if any. Staff also recommends positions for Council to consider taking on some measures, using the Council-approved 2020 legislative guidelines (guidelines) as a basis for the recommendations. Staff is often asked about positions taken by the League of California Cities; they will formally determine their positions in October. Additionally, as of this writing, the League of Women Voters of California has not made any recommendations. However, their website has ballot information, including links to official websites for support and opposition arguments for each measure. Similarly, the Palo Alto Chapter of the League of Women Voters has not offered any recommendations. Discussion What follows are brief descriptions of each measure, as well as the potential financial impact to cities, if any, and the recommended position. SUMMARIES OF STATE BALLOT MEASURES Proposition 14 would allow the State to sell $5.5 billion in general obligation bonds primarily for stem cell research, and the development of new medical treatments in California. According CITY OF PALO ALTO City of Palo Alto Page 2 to the state Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO), passing the measure could mean increased state costs to repay bonds estimated at about $260 million per year over the next roughly 30 years, less than 1 percent of the state’s General Fund. Staff recommended position: No recommended position. The measure does not directly impact the City of Palo Alto, and there is no guideline in place related to either the state selling bonds or medical research. Proposition 15 would amend the State constitution to require commercial and industrial properties worth more than $3 million to be taxed based on their market value, rather than their purchase price. Residential property would continue its current assessment based on the purchase price. Prop. 15 would create a process in the state constitution for distributing revenue from the revised tax on commercial and industrial properties. The new process would distribute tax revenue to specific areas, rather than the state’s General Fund. First, the revenue would be distributed to (a) the state to supplement decreases in revenue from the state's personal income tax and corporation tax due to increased tax deductions, and (b) counties to cover the costs of implementing the measure. Second, 60 percent of the remaining funds would be distributed to local governments and special districts, and 40 percent to school districts and community colleges. Revenue appropriated for education would be divided with 11% going to community colleges and 89% for public schools, charter schools, and county education offices. The LAO notes that, if passed, each city, county, or special district’s share depends on several factors, including the amount of new taxes paid by commercial properties in that community. Bay Area cities publicly supporting the measure include Cupertino, Albany, Berkeley, Oakland, Emeryville, Richmond, and Santa Cruz. Bay Area counties supporting the measure include Santa Cruz, Alameda, Contra Costa, and San Francisco. There are no localities publicly opposing Prop. 15; the Board of the League of California Cities voted to take no position. Staff recommended position: Support. The guidelines include four foundational principles, one of which is to protect, seek, and increase funding for programs, projects, and services. As noted above, if passed, Prop. 15 would increase funding to cities. Additionally, if the measure passes legislative action and implementation guidelines will need to be developed. Due to the uncertainties of the form these will take, both City and County staff cannot estimate at this time how much the City might receive. Proposition 16 would overturn California’s 1996’s Prop. 209, which banned the use of affirmative action involving race-based or sex-based preferences. Prop. 16 would allow State and local entities to consider race, sex, color, ethnicity, and national origin in public education, public employment, and public contracting to the extent allowed under federal and state law. There is no direct fiscal impact on local governments. As of this writing, the City of San Jose’s City Council and many individual locally-elected officials are public supporters. City of Palo Alto Page 3 Staff recommended position: Support. Staff notes that passing the measure means local government could establish, if they so choose, a wide range of diversity-related programs, so long as they are consistent with federal and state law. The guidelines in place for public employment include, in part, preserving local government’s ability to manage its own employment issues, including hiring. By providing Palo Alto more choices in establishing diversity programs, supporting Prop. 16 aligns with this City’s legislative prioritization of local control. The City also has a legislative guideline in place to protect the equal treatment of all individuals. Staff is also mindful of Council’s recent action in establishing four ad hoc Committees on Race and Equity, including the Citywide Diversity and Inclusion Committee. Repealing the current ban on affirmative action could provide the City with additional tools as it works to increase equity and inclusion in our organization. Proposition 17 would provide voting rights to adults on state parole who are U.S. citizens and residents of California. Proposition 18 would provide voting rights to eligible 17-year-olds who will be 18 by the time of the next general election. If passed, each measure will add ongoing costs to counties for voter registration and ballot materials and one-time costs to the state to update voter registration systems. Staff recommended position: No recommended position on either. While these measures would certainly impact potential individual voters and, more broadly, voting rights, the measures do not directly impact the City operationally or financially. And there are no guidelines in place regarding voting rights. Proposition 19 would change the special rules for eligible homeowners and inherited properties. Current special rules allow property tax savings for those over 55, disabled, or victims of a natural disaster (eligible homeowners) when they move, subject to limitations. Prop. 19 expands the special rules by allowing eligible homeowners to keep their lower property tax bill when moving (1) anywhere in California, (2) even when purchasing a more expensive home, and (3) up to three times in their lives. If passed, starting on February 16, 2021, the measure narrows the special rules for inherited properties. Anyone who inherits a home from their parents or grandparents would be allowed to keep the low property taxes only if they use the home as their primary residence and only on the first $1 million between the home’s original purchase price and its market value. According to the LAO, some parts of Prop. 19 would increase property taxes, other parts would decrease them. Narrowing the special rules for inherited properties would lead to higher property taxes, which increases property taxes for local governments and schools. Expanding the special rules for eligible homeowners could mean more homeowners could get property tax savings when moving from one home to another, which would reduce property taxes. City of Palo Alto Page 4 Overall, property taxes probably would increase. Local governments collectively could gain tens of millions of dollars of property tax revenue annually, which could grow over time to a few hundred million dollars per year. And revenue from other taxes could increase by tens of millions of dollars annually for both the state and local governments; most of this new state revenue would be spent on fire protection. In 2018, a similar ballot measure leveraged 1978’s Prop. 13 to allow older or disabled homeowners to take a portion of their lowered property tax base with them if they sell their home and move. That measure failed. This time, Prop. 19 adds the inherited property portion and dedicated some funding to fire protection specifically. Staff knows of no localities that have taken a public position on Prop. 19. Staff recommended position: Support, consistent with the guideline regarding seeking and increasing funding for programs and services. The Proposition’s impact on Palo Alto residents is unclear, in that it would benefit eligible homeowners moving into Palo Alto and those moving out within California and provide an incentive for owner occupancy of inherited homes. Proposition 20 seeks to change state law by increasing criminal penalties for some theft-related crimes, changing how people released from state prison are supervised in the community, changing the process for considering the release of inmates from prison, and requiring state and local law enforcement to collect DNA from adults convicted of certain crimes. Regarding DNA collection, the one part of the measure that could increase local government duties, this proposition requires state and local law enforcement to potentially collect more DNA samples. Currently, collection is only required from some felons or those charged with a felony; this measure includes collection from those convicted of certain misdemeanors. Fiscally, the LAO estimates that if passed, more than several thousand people would be affected by the proposition annually, resulting in an increase in state and county correctional costs in the tens of millions of dollars annually. This does not include the costs associated with increased DNA collection at the city level. The Palo Alto Police Department notes that any increased collections costs are minimal. Staff recommended position: No position. While the guidelines contain a foundational principle of protecting the health and safety of the community, it is not objectively clear if a statewide measure of increasing penalties and changing inmate release processes will impact the safety of our community. Proposition 21 would allow cities and counties to introduce new rent control laws or expand existing ones. Specifically, cities and counties could apply rent control to most housing that is more than 15 years old. (Not including single-family homes owned by people with two or fewer properties.) In addition, cities and counties could limit how much a landlord can increase rents when a new renter moves in, with certain limitations. The LAO notes that, if passed, it is likely that a decline in the value of rental properties would lead to a decrease in property tax payments made over time. These property tax loses City of Palo Alto Page 5 would be partially offset by higher property tax payments resulting from the sales of rental housing. But revenue losses from lower property values would be larger than revenue gains from increased sales. Overall, the measure likely would reduce state and local revenues over time, with the largest effect on property taxes. A similar proposal, Proposition 10, was rejected by voters in November 2018 – and by the Palo Alto City Council on September 10, 2018. Staff recommended position: Oppose due to Council’s earlier position on Prop. 10 and the potential of local revenue loss, consistent with the guideline to protect local revenue sources. Proposition 22: A reaction to last year’s AB 5, Prop. 22 allows app-based rideshare and delivery companies to hire drivers as independent contractors. If passed, these companies could charge lower fares and delivery fees, possibly leading to an increased number of cars on the road offering rides and deliveries. Notably, this measure limits the ability of cities and counties to place rules on rideshare and delivery companies. Specifically, the measure language states that “in light of the cross- jurisdictional nature of the rideshare services and delivery services,” state law or regulations will control certain aspects, such as app-based driver compensation and gratuity, driver scheduling, employment benefits, and employment contracts, and licensing and insurance requirements. Staff recommended position: No recommended position. One of the four foundational previously mentioned is to protect and increase local government discretion and to oppose items that preempt or reduce the authority or ability of local government to determine how to effectively operate local programs, services, activities, and governance. As noted, this measure would limit the city’s ability to regulate rideshare and delivery services. However, the City does not currently regulate these companies in the manner described and it’s not clear if local government has the authority to regulate a private company’s compensation levels, scheduling system, and the like. Additionally, regulating app-based companies may not fall under the “local programs, services, activities, and governance” items contemplated by this foundational principle. Council may wish to consider the possibility of increased cars on city streets, and potential increase in delivers and rideshares. More cars on the road may mean more wear and tear on the streets. It could also mean more carpoolers; the city has a guideline for deterring single occupancy drivers and alleviating local congestion. Possibly, more rideshare cars would help meet this objective, as well as the objective to reduce GHG emissions, a goal noted both in the legislative guidelines and the City’s current Sustainability Implementation Plan. Proposition 23 would require, in part, dialysis clinics to have at least one doctor onsite during all patient treatment hours at a cost of several hundred thousand dollars annually to the clinic. Staff recommended position: No recommended position. The measure does not directly impact the City of Palo Alto, and there is no guideline in place related to patient care or dialysis clinics. City of Palo Alto Page 6 Proposition 24 seeks to expand existing consumer data privacy laws and rights and change the privacy requirements businesses must meet. The measure also creates a new state agency that would, with the state’s Department of Justice, share responsibility for overseeing and enforcing state consumer privacy laws. Fiscally, the LAO notes that Prop. 24 will increase state costs of at least $10 million annually for a new state agency mentioned above. Passing the measure would have various impacts on business and consumers, which could then impact state and local tax revenues. The measure could reduce tax revenues if, for example, the cost of meeting the proposition’s requirements, such as correcting consumer data, reduces the profit earned by businesses. As a result, businesses would pay less in taxes to state and local governments. Or, the proposition could increase tax revenues. For example, it could reduce the severity or number of data breaches. If this results in businesses and consumers losing less money, tax revenues would increase if consumers then spend more on taxable items and/or businesses earn more revenue. Staff recommended position: No position as the measure is directed at the private sector and the local government financial impact is uncertain. However, staff notes the city guideline of protecting individual privacy and the equal treatment of all individuals. Council could interpret the guideline to mean supporting enhanced data privacy by private businesses. Proposition 25 will eliminate the practice of release on bail, create a new process for release before arraignment, and change the existing process for release at arraignment. The measure would increase state and county costs in that the new pretrial release process would increase workload for courts, district attorneys, and public defenders. The actual cost to the state is unknown but is estimated to be less than 1% of the state’s General Fund. Staff recommended position: No recommended position. The measure does not directly impact the City of Palo Alto, and there is no guideline in place related to pretrial release. SUMMARIES OF LOCAL MEASURES RELEVANT TO PALO ALTO Each of the below is a tax measure and requires a 2/3 vote to pass. Santa Clara Valley Water District. Would renew the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program (Program) which ensures public health and safety by protecting drinking water supply, and climate change; reducing pollution, toxins and contaminants in waterways; and providing flood protection. This measure seeks to renew the Santa Clara Valley Water District’s (Valley Water) existing parcel tax without increasing rates, until ended by voters, raising approximately $45,500,000 annually, with qualifying senior exemption, annual audits, and independent citizen oversight. Notably, the Program includes “Project E5: San Francisquito creek flood protection, San Francisco Bay to Upstream of Highway 101 - - Palo Alto” (See pages 40-41 in the attachment). This project would create improvements along San Francisquito Creek from San Francisco Bay City of Palo Alto Page 7 to Middlefield Road and provide additional detention of floodwaters upstream of Highway 280. Project E5 also assists in the Newell Road bridge replacement project by providing approximately 11% of the total replacement cost, funded by Valley Water through the Program renewal. The Program also contains Project E7, which “provides tidal flood protection, restores and enhances tidal marsh and related habitats, and provides recreational and public access opportunities along Santa Clara County’s shoreline,” including areas of Palo Alto (See pages 44- 45). Staff recommended position: Support given the guidelines of (1) protecting, seeking, and increasing funding for programs, projects, and services; (2) supporting the collaborative work of regional partners; and (3) the related guideline of working with the San Francisquito Creek Joint Powers Authority in its efforts to improve the creek’s watershed and floodplain. Additionally, protecting canopy, creeks, groundwater, and the bay is a stated goal in the current Sustainability Implementation Plan. Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CalTrain). Would levy a 30-year, one-eighth cent sales tax, with oversight and audits, to provide approximately $100 million annually for Caltrain. Funds would preserve Caltrain service and support regional economic recovery, prevent traffic congestion, make Caltrain more affordable and accessible, reduce air pollution with cleaner and quieter electric trains, make travel times faster, and increase Caltrain frequency and capacity between Santa Clara, San Mateo and San Francisco counties. Staff recommended position: Support given the guidelines of (1) deterring single occupancy drivers and alleviating local traffic congestion; (2) supporting local and regional public transportation; (3) reducing GHG emissions; and (4) supporting the collaborative work of regional partners. Additionally, advocating for regional transportation solutions that reduce emissions and congestion is a “strategic move” in the current Sustainability Implementation Plan. As a reminder, Council received a presentation and discussed this topic at its recent meeting of August 3, 2020. Palo Alto Unified School District. Would renew expiring local school funding that cannot be taken by the State to preserve excellence in academic programs, attract and retain qualified teachers and minimize layoffs, and support at-risk students. The measure extends the current $836 parcel tax for six years, raising approximately $16,000,000 annually with senior exemptions, a 2% annual inflation adjustment, and independent citizen oversight. Staff recommended position: No recommended position, as there is no Council-approved guideline in place regarding schools.

LeZotte representing District 4 About Valley Water iSAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM As I write this letter, we are sheltering in place trying to stay safe during a pandemic. Yet, just a few months ago we were out and about, moving around freely, and conducting business as usual. I think it’s safe to say we won’t be returning to the way things were very soon. But during these uncertain times and as we move into a new normal, you can count on the people behind your water. Valley Water is working hard to provide safe, clean water and natural flood protection to the people and businesses of Santa Clara County while caring for the environment. We take pride in the work we do for the community, which has been greatly aided by the local funding provided by the 2012 Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program (2012 Safe, Clean Water Program). From securing the supply of safe, clean water during an unprecedented drought to providing natural flood protection and safeguarding aging infrastructure while restoring habitat and preventing pollution from contaminating our waterways, the 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program has been the key to meeting the county’s water needs. All active projects Valley Water committed to in the 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program are currently on track to meet or exceed the performance measures. This includes the completion of the Main Avenue and Madrone Pipelines Restoration Project to increase South County groundwater recharge and maximize imported water supplies to drinking water treatment plants in North County, along with: providing 50 new drinking water bottle refill stations to schools; removing more than 6,642 tons of trash along local streams; awarding nearly $13 million in grants and partnerships to support a variety of programs such as restoring stream habitats, pollution prevention, environmental education, and trails and open space; revitalizing 63 acres—three times the 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program goal; and conducting an average of 417 annual encampment cleanups since 2014—about eight times more than the 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program goal. We have also completed the Berryessa Creek Flood Protection Project, while beginning construction and making significant progress on the Permanente Creek, San Francisquito Creek and Upper Llagas Creek flood protection projects. As with all long-term projects, times change, and unforeseen and unpredicted challenges will always arise. Challenges we predicted, and ones we could have never predicted, include a growing population, uncertain imported water supplies, climate change, more frequent natural disasters, an infrastructure that continues to age, ongoing operations and maintenance, and the increasing cost of mitigation. If as a community we want to collectively meet these challenges and ensure a reliable water supply into the future, Valley Water must refresh and renew our 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program to bring it once again into alignment with our community needs and priorities. “We take pride in this work, which has been greatly aided by the local funding provided by the 2012 Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program.” Letter from the CEO ii SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM “This updated and enhanced Safe, Clean Water Program would act as a road map to providing safe, clean water and natural flood protection to Santa Clara County most effectively and responsibly and its renewal will ensure that in our ever-changing world, the services that Valley Water delivers will remain constant and consistent with the community’s priorities.” To ensure the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal reflects community needs and priorities while balancing the diverse interests of stakeholders to the furthest extent possible, we conducted a wide-reaching public engagement effort. Using a wide array of outreach tools and techniques, we engaged over 16,000 residents, businesses, employees, community organizations and other key stakeholders during an intensive six-month process. This engagement has resulted in a proposed draft community- preferred program report with six top community priorities: • Priority A: Ensure a Safe, Reliable Water Supply • Priority B: Reduce Toxins, Hazards and Contaminants in our Waterways • Priority C: Protect our Water Supply and Dams from Earthquakes and Other Natural Disasters • Priority D: Restore Wildlife Habitat and Provide Open Space • Priority E: Provide Flood Protection to Homes, Businesses, Schools, Streets and Highways • Priority F: Support Public Health and Public Safety for Our Community To ensure transparency, accountability and fiscal responsibility, the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal will continue to be monitored by an external independent monitoring committee (IMC), which is an external citizen oversight committee. The proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal would also require independent audits every five years, and a change control process, which requires all adjustments be made by the Valley Water Board of Directors during a public board meeting. Modifications to key performance indicators (KPIs) or decisions to not implement a project would require a public hearing. Five-year implementation plans will also be developed to serve as checkpoints during implementation of the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal. In addition to forward looking plans, each year Valley Water will produce an annual report, which looks back on the prior fiscal year and reports on each project’s expenditures and progress towards delivery of its KPIs. Those annual reports will be reviewed by the IMC, which will make recommendations to the Board regarding any program adjustments or modifications that may be required. Finally, the funding renewal would also continue exemptions for low-income seniors. If approved by voters, the updated and enhanced Safe, Clean Water Program would act as a road map to providing safe, clean water and natural flood protection to Santa Clara County most effectively and responsibly, and its renewal will ensure that in our ever-changing world, the services that Valley Water delivers will remain constant and consistent with the community’s priorities.

PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK Executive Summary 1SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM Overview Valley Water’s mission is to provide Silicon Valley safe, clean water for a healthy life, environment, and economy. Supporting this mission is this draft community-preferred program developed to provide an updated and enhanced Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program (Safe, Clean Water Program). This proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal would continue to ensure a safe, reliable water supply; protect water supply infrastructure from earthquakes and natural disasters; and repair and replace aging infrastructure, such as dams, pipelines and reservoirs. The updated Safe, Clean Water Program would also help to reduce toxins, hazards and contaminants in our waterways; restore wildlife habitat and provide access to open space; and protect our residents and businesses from flooding while supporting the public health and public safety of our community and addressing climate change. The proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal builds upon and, if approved by voters, would replace the existing 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program that is funded by a special parcel tax that voters approved overwhelmingly by 74% in 2012. All projects funded by the current special parcel tax are on track to meet the performance measures, known as key performance indicators (KPIs), and a few have exceeded those measures. As Valley Water has implemented the 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program, a series of challenges and changes have emerged, affecting the community’s needs as they relate to water resources. Our county’s population is burgeoning. Climate change, more frequent natural disasters and uncertain imported water supplies go hand-in-hand. Our infrastructure continues to age. We are experiencing more delays in regulatory permitting, and ongoing operations, maintenance and environmental mitigation of projects come with ongoing and increasing costs. Combined, these create challenges in continuing to provide safe, clean drinking water, as well as flood protection and environmental stewardship on behalf of the community. Addressing these challenges and meeting future water needs requires realigning and expanding upon the 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program and renewing it. To develop this newly proposed Safe, Clean Water Program, Valley Water conducted an extensive outreach effort engaging thousands of community members and stakeholders. The outreach tools include a dedicated Safe, Clean Water website; online community surveys that were conducted in English, Spanish, Vietnamese and Chinese and received more than 17,050 responses; more than 75 in-person and virtual presentations reaching more than 2,800 residents; telephone town halls and webinars; and a Blue-Ribbon Forum for stakeholders and community leaders. There are several key themes that staff heard in numerous stakeholder meetings, including the Blue-Ribbon Forum, that have helped shape certain elements within the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal. These concepts include: keeping the proposed community-preferred program flexible enough to adapt to emerging challenges, while planning for long-term needs; protecting and ensuring water supply reliability, repairing aging infrastructure, bolstering resources for long-term maintenance, operations and mitigation needs; supporting more multi-benefit projects and incorporating climate change adaptation strategies across projects; SAFE, CLEAN WATER PROGRAM OVERVIEW • Proposed renewal of existing Safe, Clean Water Program to ensure continued local funding for vital projects benefitting the community • Updates existing projects and adds new projects to address changing conditions and align with the community’s needs • Adds a new priority to better reflect what is important to the community • Continues independent monitoring of the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program with all expenditures published annually and external independent audits • Maintains current parcel tax rate • Based on input from thousands of county residents and stakeholders Executive Summary Executive Summary SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM2 supporting trash and homeless encampment cleanups; expanding grant funding for hydration stations, water conservation, pollution prevention, and wildlife habitat/open space, as well as streamlining the process and providing increased access to smaller organizations, technology start- ups and individuals; continuing support for environmental stewardship and habitat restoration; and supporting flood protection projects to protect communities from flooding. The result of this six-month public engagement effort is a draft community-preferred program that would update, enhance and renew the Safe, Clean Water Program, and is presented in this report. The proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal would continue to honor prior commitments made under the 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program in carrying forward all active projects and meeting associated KPIs. It would continue the current five priorities and proposes to add a sixth priority based on community input and feedback. Below is a summary list of the six priorities, emphasizing key efforts that are now enhanced or new under each priority. The proposed priorities also build upon existing projects that would continue. Priority A: Ensure a Safe, Reliable Water Supply Priority A projects will upgrade aging water infrastructure, such as dams, pipelines and water storage and treatment systems, to reduce the risk of water outages. In addition to carrying forward existing projects, it would contain two new projects, including the Pacheco Reservoir Expansion Project which will increase water storage to provide more security for our drinking water supplies in emergencies and help moderate the effects of climate change. The other new project would provide water conservation rebates and programs to increase water- use efficiency and ensure sustainability for drinking water supplies throughout the county. An egret takes flight surrounded by mallards. Priority B: Reduce Toxins, Hazards and Contaminants in our Waterways Priority B projects use multiple strategies to reduce and remove contaminants in our local creeks, streams and bays. Along with mercury treatment systems in our reservoirs, projects under this priority prevent toxins from entering waterways by working with municipalities and other agencies across the region to reduce runoff pollution. In addition to carrying forward existing projects, the priority would include funding to support the new green stormwater infrastructure. It would also continue projects that provide rapid emergency response to hazardous materials spills as well as support volunteer cleanup efforts. Priority C: Protect our Water Supply and Dams from Earthquakes and Other Natural Disasters The Priority C project will help protect our drinking water supply and water quality infrastructure from natural disasters, such as earthquakes. This priority provides partial funding to retrofit Anderson Dam so that it can safely withstand a large earthquake. Known as the Anderson Dam Seismic Retrofit project, it would continue to ensure public safety and secure a reliable water supply. Priority D: Restore Wildlife Habitat and Provide Open Space Priority D projects restore and protect wildlife habitat. Work under this priority includes controlling non-native, invasive plants; replanting native species; and maintaining previously replanted areas. Other projects include removing barriers to fish movement, improving steelhead habitat and stabilizing eroded creek banks. Under this priority, projects supporting riparian planting and invasive plant removal, fish passage and fish habitat improvements would be enhanced with additional funding. To support restoration projects, Valley Water would continue to build and update a comprehensive watershed database that tracks stream ecosystem conditions, helping Valley Water and other organizations make informed watershed, asset management and natural resource decisions. Priority E: Provide Flood Protection to Homes, Businesses, Schools, Streets and Highways Priority E focuses on providing flood protection through major capital construction projects. Projects are prioritized to protect the largest number of people, homes and businesses, Executive Summary 3SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic that drastically altered our worldview, the critical need for safe, clean water supplies and essential water infrastructure, particularly during emergencies, has come into sharper focus. as well as to safeguard the highways, streets, public transportation and business centers that people depend on for their livelihoods. In addition to continuing the existing flood protection projects, some of them with enhanced funding, this priority would now include phase three of the Lower Berryessa Creek Flood Protection Project. Almost all the construction projects under this priority include a preferred project that relies on state and federal government funding and a local-funding-only project. Should federal funding become scarce, Valley Water would reduce the project scope to the local funding only project, as described in the individual project summaries. Whenever possible, Valley Water also leverages funds from the state, local municipalities and other stakeholders. Priority F: Support Public Health and Public Safety for Our Community With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic that drastically altered our worldview, the need for critical public services such as safe, clean water supplies and essential water infrastructure, particularly during emergencies, has come into sharper focus. This newly proposed priority pulls together multi-benefit projects that were previously placed under other priorities in the 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program and groups them based on their common benefit of supporting public health and public safety along our waterways and critical infrastructure. This priority would include enhanced funding to support public safety by partnering with local municipalities to address encampments along waterways; reducing trash and other pollutants from entering waterways from encampments; and ongoing vegetation control and sediment removal activities to maintain conveyance capacity of flood protection projects. It would also provide additional funding for grants and partnerships for local agencies; organizations and individuals for water conservation; pollution prevention, creek cleanups and education; wildlife habitat restoration; and access to trails and open space. Additionally, it would include two newly proposed efforts: a project to fund public art to beautify Valley Water property and infrastructure to deter graffiti and litter; and a long-term effort to ensure that existing flood protection infrastructure continues to function sustainably for continued public safety. Other projects would include vegetation management for access and fire safety; removing flood-inducing blockages; and improving coordination and communication in flood emergencies. Funding Safe, Clean Water: Transitioning from the Old Program Beginning with the previous 2000 Clean, Safe Creeks and Natural Flood Protection Plan and leading to the passage of the current 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program, the continuous need for such a multi-benefit, community-preferred measure has never been more evident than today. Longer-term solutions for both existing and emerging challenges to providing safe, clean drinking water, natural flood protection and environmental stewardship to the community could be better met with a realigned and updated program that provides ongoing local funding for community-preferred projects. If voters approve renewing the existing tax measure, the updated Safe, Clean Water Program would replace in its entirety the 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program. Passage of the updated Safe, Clean Water Program would extend the current annual parcel tax that allows Valley Water to deliver Valley Water headquarters view from across a groundwater recharge pond Executive Summary SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM4 the existing and new projects that our community values beginning in fiscal year 2022. If approved, the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal would remain active until repealed by voters. Furthermore, after a period of no longer than 15 years, the Valley Water Board would evaluate the need for the Safe, Clean Water Program and determine whether the special tax should be reduced or repealed or maintained to build additional projects that accomplish the community identified Safe, Clean Water Program priorities. Should the Board determine that no additional projects are needed, the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program special tax would be reduced accordingly to reflect a transition from funding new projects to funding operation, maintenance and replacement of projects that were constructed with Safe, Clean Water Program funds. This process would include the Valley Water advisory committees and the Safe, Clean Water Program’s independent monitoring committee (IMC) making recommendations to the Board on whether to reduce, repeal or maintain the special tax. This evaluation will take place every 15 years. Any existing funds collected under the current 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program would be used to continue corresponding projects under the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal. And since this would be an extension of the 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program, the parcel taxes will be assessed using the same rate structure and will continue to include exemptions for qualifying low-income seniors. If voters approve, the renewed and replaced voter-approved parcel tax would fund the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program as a community-preferred program, which includes carrying forward existing projects plus the addition of enhanced and new projects. Approximately $45.5 million is expected to be collected annually, amounting to approximately $682.5 million in 2020 dollars over the first 15 years of this new program. In addition, the Board of Directors reserves the right to vote on an annual escalator to adjust for inflation; additional details may be found in the Resolution (Appendix A). Financing the Program A combination of debt financing and pay-as-you-go funding would pay for capital projects. Debt financing will provide upfront funding for Safe, Clean Water capital projects that would otherwise be delayed until tax revenues were accumulated. Accountability and Transparency As with the 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program, the Valley Water Board would appoint an independent monitoring committee (IMC) to track the progress of the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program to ensure transparency and accountability. Additionally, to provide transparency of all activities to the public, the renewed Safe, Clean Water Program would require an external, independent audit every five years, an annual rate- setting report, an annual report of project expenditures and progress towards meeting KPIs, and five-year implementation plans. All IMC, staff and auditor reports would be available for public viewing. In compliance with a change control process, any update or changes to the proposed Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program would be made in publicly noticed meetings or public hearings, which are also streamed live on Valley Water’s website. 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program - Construction of Rancho San Antonio detention basin, which is part of the Permanente Creek Flood Protection Project. Background 5SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM Background Timeline 2000 2012 2020 Santa Clara County voters approved the 15-year Clean, Safe Creeks and Natural Flood Protection Plan (Clean, Safe Creeks Plan), a special parcel tax to address community needs for enhanced stream stewardship and flood protection. 74 percent of voters approved the 15-year Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program (Safe, Clean Water Program), a special parcel tax to address projects under five priorities. Based on changing circumstances and community needs, Valley Water conducts outreach to re-evaluate the Safe, Clean Water Program for the public. A renewed Safe, Clean Water Program is proposed to enhance and update the 2012 Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program. If approved by voters in November 2020, the proposed program would renew the funding at the same parcel tax rate structure approved under the previous Safe, Clean Water Program to ensure a seamless continuation of critical water-related services for Santa Clara County. Background SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM6 History of Safe, Clean Water Program In 2000, seeing a need to address stream stewardship and flood protection issues in the county, Valley Water created, and voters approved, a special parcel tax - the Clean, Safe Creeks and Natural Flood Protection Plan (Clean, Safe Creeks Plan). The funding from this plan supported projects to restore habitat, maintain healthy creek and bay ecosystems, improve water quality, reduce flood risks, and provide open space and recreational opportunities. It also created an independent monitoring committee to oversee progress and ensure the plan was meeting its outcome goals cost-effectively. As the Clean, Safe Creeks Plan neared its end, Valley Water conducted outreach to determine community priorities regarding water, flood protection and the environment. Using extensive input gained over 18 months, Valley Water put together a program that would continue local funding, make up for diminished federal funding, line up with community priorities, update aging/outdated infrastructure, address new regulatory and policy requirements, and ensure an uninterrupted flow of services. In 2012, Santa Clara County voters passed the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program (Safe, Clean Water Program) ballot measure by an overwhelming majority of nearly 74 percent. Voters supported the 2000 Clean, Safe Creeks Plan and the 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program because each represented the community’s values around clean water, the environment and flood protection, which are key tenets of Valley Water’s work. Like the Clean, Safe Creeks Plan, the 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program was also created with a commitment to accountability and transparency and included an independent monitoring committee (IMC) to oversee the program’s progress and ensure that outcomes would be met in a cost- effective manner. In addition, the 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program also required three independent external audits over 15 years. The projects in the 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program have performance measures known as key performance indicators (KPIs). For the existing program’s flood protection projects that rely heavily on federal funding, there are two KPIs: the preferred project with federal funding; and the local-funding- only project. As many of the flood protection projects have not yet received federal funds to achieve the preferred project KPIs, Valley Water has continued to focus on moving those projects forward toward delivery of the local-funding-only KPIs, while continuing to seek federal and other external funding sources. As a result, all flood protection projects are on track to meet or exceed their KPIs. Because the Clean, Safe Creeks Plan, the 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program and the newly proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal were created to benefit the community, input from our community has been instrumental in determining the priorities that are the focus of the funding. Projects were selected to deliver enhanced water quality and reliability, improved habitat and environment and reduced flood risks for thousands of residents and businesses. The development of all three ballot measures has included extensive community outreach as an integral part of their formation. Over the life of each of the voter-approved measures, through the annual reports, audits, IMC reports and Board discussions, the community is kept informed of the progress we are making on the multi-benefit projects that comprise the Safe, Clean Water Program.

To meet new and expanding challenges, we need to refresh and realign the 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program. Challenges that a proposed renewal of the Safe, Clean Water Program will help us better meet include: • A growing Santa Clara County population • Climate change and extreme weather • More frequent natural disasters • Aging infrastructure • Ongoing operations, maintenance and mitigation costs • More delays in regulatory permitting • Uncertain imported water supplies Why Renew the Safe, Clean Water Program Now? Valley Water is committed to providing safe, clean water and natural flood protection and to protecting and enhancing the environment. As new challenges face Valley Water and the community it serves, an updated and renewed Safe, Clean Water Program would help us streamline and keep our work relevant while securing our future water resources. Challenges facing Valley Water and the broader community regarding water-related issues include a growing population in our county, aging infrastructure, uncertain imported water supplies, climate change and more extreme weather. We are also experiencing more regulatory permitting delays, as well as ongoing operations, maintenance and environmental mitigation costs. More recently, the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic imposed a new and significant challenge to delivering safe, clean water and natural flood protection. Updating and Expanding the Safe, Clean Water Program Addressing emerging and growing challenges requires creative thinking and a deep understanding of how these challenges will affect our existing and future projects. That is one key to the proposed realignment of the Safe, Clean Water Program and its potential renewal. To develop solutions, Valley Water staff participated in a two-day workshop in January 2020 to evaluate the projects in the existing 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program. Staff members documented changes, discussed challenges and brainstormed new opportunities for improvement. Staff explored ways to address increasing operations, maintenance and mitigation costs; strategies to improve infrastructure reliability and integrate climate change adaptation and mitigation; ways to streamline the grants program; and approaches to support public health and public safety. With an eye toward these important considerations, staff set about suggesting updates and enhancements for a proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal. For some of the projects under the 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program, realignment was necessary, therefore certain key performance indicators for existing projects were adjusted to ensure the delivery of the most effective, efficient and responsible projects. Additionally, new projects or project elements are proposed to address changed circumstances or new needs that have arisen since the passage of the 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program. Background SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM8 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program: Looking upstream from the Friendship Bridge at the completed portion of the San Francisquito Creek Flood Protection Project from S.F. Bay to Highway 101 Once a project is constructed, it is not necessarily finished for all time. Projects, particularly flood protection projects, require regular maintenance to continue functioning as designed and providing benefits to the community. This proposed update of the Safe, Clean Water Program takes that into account, providing for long-term maintenance and operation of the included projects. Another important part of completing a project is mitigating any negative impacts it might have on wildlife or the environment. Just as projects take maintenance, mitigation takes monitoring to ensure it works as designed. This proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal allows us to ensure that our mitigation is functioning for the benefit of the projects and the environment. We have also added new projects where significant changes in field conditions warrant updated tactics. Where feasible, we have added these new projects to address these changed circumstances. The proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal was also updated with a new priority—Priority F: Support Public Health and Public Safety for Our Community. With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic that drastically changed the world, the critical need for reliable, safe and clean water, particularly during emergencies, came into even sharper focus. Priority F would address the need for enhanced public health and public safety by pulling projects that have multiple benefits from other priority areas. The projects are chosen based on their common support of public health and public safety along our waterways and key water infrastructure. Projects under Priority F would include coordinating with cities to address encampments along waterways; reducing trash and other pollutants from entering waterways from encampments; removing flood-inducing blockages; managing vegetation; and removing sediment to maintain conveyance capacity of flood protection projects. Priority F also supports grants and partnerships for agencies, organizations and individuals for water conservation, pollution prevention, creek cleanups and education, wildlife habitat restoration, access to trails and open space; and graffiti and litter removal, as well funding for public art to beautify Valley Water property and infrastructure. Community input has played a critical part in developing the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal and in determining the changes necessary to align with community priorities and expectations. Combined with Valley Water’s expertise in executing projects and familiarity with current conditions, and the Board of Directors’ guidance, community input has helped round out proposed Safe, Clean Water Program updates and make the renewed Program the most responsive it can be. Once a project is constructed, it is not necessarily finished for all time. Projects, particularly flood protection projects, require regular maintenance to continue functioning as designed and providing benefits to the community. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT TOOLS Dedicated website: 10,000 visitors Online community input surveys: 17,050+ respondents Digital/social media efforts: 4 million views, with 33,000 link clicks Telephone town hall: 2,800 county residents attended on July 1, 2020 Water supply outreach tours: 446 attendees Employee presentations : 274 attendees Virtual speaker’s bureau: 220 attendees Virtual Blue-Ribbon Forum: 35 stakeholder participants Stakeholder/Partner meetings: 150 stakeholders Community Engagement 9SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM Community Engagement To develop this proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal, Valley Water conducted a comprehensive and intensive public outreach effort engaging more than 20,800 community members and stakeholders. The outreach included conducting online community input surveys, which reached more than 17,050 residents. The surveys were provided in English, Spanish, Vietnamese and Chinese, and also included a student version to reach Santa Clara County youth. Our dedicated Safe, Clean Water Program microsite (www.safecleanwater.org) served as the landing page for information on the proposed program renewal as well as a place to take the survey and provide input. To achieve a high response rate and receive the widest input, the surveys were promoted through a variety of tools including multi- language videos, social media channels, texting and telephone banking efforts. Valley Water also distributed the survey through our blogs, eNews blasts and wide e-mail distribution lists to community stakeholders and our various partners. Additionally, a public information and education outreach effort included print advertorials, radio spots, billboards and digital and social media posts that invited people to complete the surveys and provide their input. Despite the ongoing public health crisis, new technology tools allowed Valley Water to seamlessly continue to connect virtually with the community during the COVID-19 pandemic. Outreach continued through early July, resulting in staff reaching more than 3,800 residents by making more than 75 in-person and virtual presentations, webinars and infrastructure tours to various stakeholders and community groups, including Board Committees, Board Advisory Committees and Board Commissions, the Safe, Clean Water Program Independent Monitoring Committee, Water Retailers and Water Ambassadors, as well as diverse stakeholder groups, including employees, civic, community groups and neighborhood groups. Valley Water also hosted a virtual Blue-Ribbon Forum, with nearly 100 community leaders, stakeholders and employees participating and providing feedback on the proposed renewal of the Safe, Clean Water Program. A telephone town hall was also conducted in early July that reached more than 2,800 residents county wide.. These collective and combined efforts garnered more than 20,800 direct touches to residents countywide, more than any previous past program efforts. Valley Water staff - the people behind your water. THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK Safe, Clean Water Program 11SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM Introducing the Safe, Clean Water Program Update As proposed, the updated Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program (Safe, Clean Water Program) would be a replacement and renewal of the existing 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program and would help to secure the present and future water resources of Santa Clara County. This updated program would continue and build upon the success of the existing Safe, Clean Water Program, which was overwhelmingly approved by 74 percent of voters in 2012, while realigning it to meet current and future challenges in water resources management. The proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal would ensure Valley Water’s continued delivery of relevant, efficient and responsible projects that benefit the community. This proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal is critical to Santa Clara County by continuing to fund essential existing watershed and stewardship budgeted programs implemented by Valley Water and its partners. It would fund upgrades to infrastructure, helping to meet the needs of a growing county; allow access to open space; help protect our water supply from more frequent natural disasters and climate change; and allow for the reduction of toxins and hazards in our waterways. In addition, a renewed Safe, Clean Water Program would provide funds to help reduce flood risks and help restore and protect fish and wildlife habitat, all while supporting public health and public safety for our communities. Safe, Clean Water Program12 SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM An Opportunity to Prepare for the Future A Ensure a Safe, Reliable Water Supply B Reduce Toxins, Hazards and Contaminants in our Waterways C Protect our Water Supply and Dams from Earthquakes and Other Natural Disasters D Restore Wildlife Habitat and Provide Open Space E Provide Flood Protection to Homes, Businesses, Schools, Streets and Highways F Support Public Health and Public Safety for Our Community A proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal would provide funding for additional environmental benefits, new and existing infrastructure and flood protection projects, and operations and maintenance of projects. The proposed renewal would provide for an expanded grants program with additional funding and access for new public health and public safety elements, and it would focus resources on fire safety and removing blockages in creeks. It would also support addressing homeless encampments and impacted water quality along our creeks and waterways, and better adapt to and meet the growing challenges that stem from climate change and extreme weather patterns, such as severe drought, flooding, and wildfires.

In addition to carrying forward existing projects, it would contain two new projects, including the Pacheco Reservoir Expansion Project to increase water storage to provide more security for our drinking water supplies in emergencies and through the effects of climate change. The other new project is to provide water conservation rebates and programs to increase water-use efficiency and ensure sustainability for drinking water supplies throughout the county. PROJECT A1 PACHECO RESERVOIR EXPANSION A collaboration between Valley Water, the San Benito County Water District and the Pacheco Pass Water District, the Pacheco Reservoir Expansion Project is a strategic and long-term investment toward ensuring a more reliable supply of safe, clean drinking water in the face of climate change. This project will boost Pacheco Reservoir’s operational capacity from 5,500 acre-feet to up to 140,000 acre-feet, enough to supply up to 1.4 million residents with water for one year in an emergency. Located in southeast Santa Clara County, the expanded reservoir will also reduce the frequency and severity of water shortages during droughts, protect our drinking water supply and infrastructure and improve habitat for fish. Valley Water has taken into consideration 2030 and 2070 projected future conditions with climate change to ensure that the reservoir is not only viable today, but can withstand the changes expected in the future. Benefits • Ensures a reliable supply of drinking water • Provides an emergency supply of drinking water • Improves habitat for fish, including federally threatened steelhead • Reduces flood risk to disadvantaged communities In the fall of 2019, Valley Water performed exploratory drilling to gather information about the soil and rock characteristics, needed for the project design. Safe, Clean Water and Natural flood l'rat..:tlon PRIORITY A Priority A16 SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM • Allows for environmental water management that supports habitat projects and other environmental water needs • Addresses climate change Key performance indicator 1. Provide a portion of funds, up to $10 million, to help construct the Pacheco Reservoir Expansion Project. Geographic area of benefit: Countywide PROJECT A2: WATER CONSERVATION REBATES AND PROGRAMS • Increases water-use efficiency • Increases water supply reliability • Reduces pollution by reducing irrigation runoff • Saves energy and reduce operating costs • Reduces CO2 emissions Succulent garden Estimated funding from Safe, Clean Water Renewal: $10 million Estimated total project cost: $1.3 billion PROJECT A2 WATER CONSERVATION REBATES AND PROGRAMS This project to help meet and exceed long-term water conservation and reliability goals would increase water-use efficiency in the landscape, residential, schools and commercial sectors through water conservation rebates, technical assistance and public education. Water Conservation rebate programs may include a residential leak detection and assistance program, an expanded landscape rebate program that promotes California- native plant species as well as water-saving plants, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and a restaurant-efficiency and school-efficiency upgrade program. Water use requires a lot of energy to extract, convey, treat and distribute. By reducing the demand for water, conservation reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Conservation also helps adapt to climate change by conserving limited water supplies and lessening demand in the face of an uncertain water-supply future. ^ SouthForkPachecoCreek HagermanCanyon Cedar Creek Pacheco C r e e k BellCreek HarperCanyon ShaeirnLake PachecoLake ·|}þ152 ®^Project Location Creeks Santa Clara County K A I S E R - A E T N A R D Nort h F o r k P a c h e c o C r e e k E L TO R R A 26061012\2020_021\SCW_PachecoProject.mxd 6.5x6.5 6/12/2020 Ele p h a n t H e a d C r e e k Priority A 17SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM Benefits • Helps county residents exceed the countywide goal of conserving 110,000 acre-feet of water per year by 2040 • Increases water supply reliability • Reduces greenhouse gases • Reduces pollution to the Bay by reducing irrigation runoff Key performance indicator 1.

Along with mercury treatment systems in our reservoirs, projects under this priority prevent toxins from entering waterways by working with municipalities and other agencies across the region to reduce runoff pollution. In addition to carrying forward existing projects, the priority would include funding to support the implementation of green stormwater infrastructure. It would also continue projects to provide rapid emergency response to hazardous materials spills and to support volunteer cleanup efforts. PROJECT B1 IMPAIRED WATER BODIES IMPROVEMENT This project reduces pollutants in streams, reservoirs and groundwater of Santa Clara County by supporting surface water quality pollution prevention activities. These programs address water quality concerns currently identified by local and state regulatory agencies, as well as contaminants of emerging concern. Initiatives under this project are consistent with the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) impaired water bodies designation and Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs), which are the maximum amount of a pollutant that a water body can receive and still safely meet water quality standards. Under this project, Valley Water studies and implements methods to reduce methylmercury formation in reservoirs, and helps create and carry out realistic plans to reduce contaminants, such as nutrients, bacteria, pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and others, in local creeks and reservoirs. This project addresses both greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction and climate change adaptation, as reservoirs are a major source of GHG emissions (i.e. methane) during low oxygen conditions. Oxygenation is the current mechanism to control mercury in fish and may reduce methane emissions. Oxygenation can also reduce the formation of harmful algal blooms, which may become more frequent with warmer temperatures. Benefits • Reduces contaminants in streams and reservoirs • Improves water quality, including water slated for drinking water treatment plants • Increases understanding of mercury cycling in reservoirs to develop strategies that reduce toxic methylmercury in fish consumed by people and wildlife Calero Reservoir Oxygenation System Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection PRIORITYB Priority B20 SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM PROJECT B2 INTER-AGENCY URBAN RUNOFF PROGRAM This project supports Valley Water’s continued participation in the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program (SCVURPPP) and South County stormwater programs. These programs enable Valley Water to reduce stormwater pollution through technical support and regional leadership. In addition, this project supports stormwater pollution prevention activities in South County Watersheds and green stormwater infrastructure (GSI). GSI allows rainwater runoff from roads, parking lots and other impervious surfaces to soak into the ground and be filtered by soil rather than discharge into storm drains that transport the water to creeks. Project B2 allows Valley Water to participate in the regulatory development process related to stormwater by participating in stormwater permit re-issuance and providing review, analysis and comments on various water quality regulatory efforts. This project also allows Valley Water to collaborate with local agencies on public education and outreach activities to help prevent urban runoff pollution at the source. Multi-benefit projects, such as green stormwater infrastructure, are important strategies to address water quality. Green infrastructure uses plants to soak water into the ground, which slows down, spreads and helps absorb rainwater instead of having it go down a storm drain. This improves water quality, can increase groundwater supplies and reduces peak flows to a creek. Benefits • Partners with municipalities and other agencies to reduce contaminants in stormwater and improve surface water quality in our streams, reservoirs, lakes and wetlands • Maintains Valley Water compliance with the Regional Water Quality Control Board PROJECT B2: INTER-AGENCY URBAN RUNOFF PROGRAM • Reduces contaminants in stormwater • Maintains programs or devices to reduce trash in creeks • Addresses surface water quality improvements • Implements green stormwater infrastructure projects Trash boom cleaning on Lower Silver Creek. • Increases the scientific understanding of environmental pollutants to assist in developing actions to manage them • Supports regulatory compliance with surface water quality standards for local creeks and reservoirs • Addresses climate change Key performance indicators 1. Investigate, develop and implement actions to reduce methylmercury in fish and other organisms in the Guadalupe River Watershed. 2. Prepare and update a plan for the prioritization of surface water quality improvement activities, such as addressing trash and other pollutants. 3. Implement at least two priority surface water quality improvement activities identified in the plan per 5-year implementation period. Geographic area of benefit: Countywide Estimated funding from Safe, Clean Water Renewal: $32.8 million Estimated total project cost: $32.8 million Priority B 21SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM requirements in National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits • Allows continued participation in SCVURPPP and South County urban runoff programs • Allows Valley Water to help direct required monitoring efforts in ways that benefit Valley Water programs and projects • Promotes stormwater pollution prevention • Facilitates collaboration with partners on stormwater projects that provide multiple benefits and support Valley Water’s mission • Addresses climate change Key performance indicators 1. Address trash in creeks by maintaining trash capture devices or other litter control programs. 2. Maintain Valley Water’s municipal stormwater compliance program and partner with cities to address surface water quality improvements, including participation in at least three (3) countywide, regional or statewide stormwater program committees to help guide regulatory development, compliance and monitoring. 3. Support at least one (1) stormwater quality improvement activity per 5-year implementation period in Santa Clara County, including providing up to $1.5 million in 15 years to support implementation of green stormwater infrastructure consistent with Santa Clara Basin and South County Stormwater Resource Plans. Geographic area of benefit: Countywide Estimated funding from Safe, Clean Water Renewal: $19.8 million Estimated total project cost: $45.2 million PROJECT B3 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS MANAGEMENT AND RESPONSE This project allows Valley Water to continue providing a local number to report hazardous materials spills 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Valley Water staff will respond within two (2) hours of the initial report, with spill cleanup in Valley Water rights-of- way performed in a timely manner. Appropriate agencies will be alerted when spills are outside Valley Water jurisdiction. Benefits • Prevents and reduces contaminants in surface and groundwater • Encourages public to engage in protecting our waterways • Provides a quick, professional response that reduces impacts of hazardous materials spills PROJECT B3: HAZARDOUS MATERIALS MANAGEMENT AND RESPONSE • Prevents and reduces contaminants in surface and groundwater • Encourages public to protect our waterways • Allows for quick responses to reduce impacts of hazardous spills Vehicle accident at Valley Water facility.

Priority C 23SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM Priority C Protect Our Water Supply and Dams from Earthquakes and Other Natural Disasters PROJECT C1: ANDERSON DAM SEISMIC RETROFIT • Brings the dam into compliance with today’s seismic standards • Increases reliability and safety by protecting the dam from earthquakes • Enhances fish and wildlife habitat • Minimizes the risk of uncontrollable releases from the reservoir that could cause downstream flooding The Priority C project helps protect our drinking water supply and water quality infrastructure from natural disasters, such as earthquakes. This priority provides partial funding to retrofit Anderson Dam so that it can safely withstand a large earthquake. Known as the Anderson Dam Seismic Retrofit project, the project would continue to ensure public safety and secure a reliable water supply. PROJECT C1 ANDERSON DAM SEISMIC RETROFIT Anderson Reservoir is currently limited in its capacity due to seismic concerns, costing Santa Clara County valuable drinking water resources. This project, which continues the 2012 Safe, Clean Water project, provides a portion of the funds required to help restore the full operating capacity of Anderson Reservoir. Anderson Dam creates the county’s largest surface water reservoir—Anderson Reservoir—which stores local rainfall runoff and imported water from the Central Valley Project. The reservoir is an important water source for drinking water treatment plants and the recharge of the groundwater basin. Besides restoring drinking water supplies and covering the earthquake retrofitting of Anderson Dam to improve reliability and safety, the upgrade also supports compliance with environmental regulations. Valley Water’s regular reservoir releases ensure that downstream habitat has healthy flows to sustain wildlife. A breach of Anderson Dam at full capacity could have catastrophic consequences, including inundation of surrounding land more than 30 miles northwest to San Francisco Bay, and more than 40 miles southeast to Monterey Bay. Benefits • Brings the dam into compliance with today’s seismic standards • Increases reliability and safety of our area’s largest reservoir by protecting it from earthquakes • Eliminates operational restrictions issued by the two regulatory agencies—the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the California Department of Water Resources Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD). In February 2020, FERC directed Valley Anderson Dam Priority C24 SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM Water to begin safely lowering the reservoir to an elevation of 488 feet (essentially almost emptying the reservoir) beginning October 1, 2020. This project would restore Anderson Reservoir to its full capacity of approximately 90,373 acre-feet of water storage for our current and future water supply • Ensures compliance with environmental laws and regulations • Enhances native fish and wildlife habitat • Minimizes the risk of uncontrollable releases from the reservoir, which could cause downstream flooding Key performance indicator 1. Provide portion of funds, up to $54.1 million, to help restore full operating reservoir capacity of 90,373 acre-feet. Geographic area of benefit: Countywide What happens to Priority C projects if funding is not available? A breach of Anderson Dam at full capacity could have catastrophic consequences, which makes the funding contribution from this program vital to the safety of our county.

Work under this priority includes controlling non-native, invasive plants; replanting native species; and maintaining previously replanted areas. Other projects include removing barriers to fish movement, improving steelhead habitat and stabilizing eroded creek banks. Under this priority, projects supporting riparian planting and invasive plant removal, fish passage and fish habitat improvements would be enhanced with additional funding. To support restoration projects, Valley Water would continue to build and update a comprehensive watershed database that tracks stream ecosystem conditions helping Valley Water and other organizations make informed watershed, asset management and natural resource decisions. PROJECT D1 MANAGEMENT OF RIPARIAN PLANTING AND INVASIVE PLANT REMOVAL This project supports Valley Water management of at least 300 acres of existing riparian planting projects and 200 acres of invasive plant removal projects throughout the five (5) watersheds. The project also funds maintenance of future riparian planting and invasive plant removal sites, which are anticipated as part of upcoming environmental mitigation requirements. Funding for this project ensures that all required riparian planting and invasive plant removal projects are maintained as functional habitat that can support wildlife. In addition, this project includes targeted control of especially damaging non-native, invasive plant species such as Arundo donax throughout the county. Climate change has increased temperatures and lengthened growing seasons, which facilitates the spread of non-native invasive vegetation by allowing it to establish early in spring before native species, thus transforming ecosystems. Management of riparian planting and invasive plant removal helps prevent the spread of non-native species, making the natural habitat less vulnerable and more resilient to climate change. Furthermore, restoring habitats that are damaged during regular operations is an important component of sustainable stewardship to protect nearby natural areas. It helps improve native habitat. Installing irrigation in Guadalupe River Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection PRIORITY D Priority D26 SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM PROJECT D2 REVITALIZE RIPARIAN, UPLAND AND WETLAND HABITAT This project allows Valley Water to revitalize habitat for rare, threatened or endangered species or vegetation types, and create a more contiguous corridor for wildlife, including pollinators. Funding helps to restore degraded habitat by removing invasive plants and/or revegetating with native species. Funding is prioritized for projects that include community partnerships or provide education for nearby landowners and other stakeholder groups on the control of harmful species. The project will also create an Early Detection and Rapid Response Program to identify and treat small infestations of new weeds before they become established. Increasing the quality and quantity of native habitat areas and improving the connections between them are important adaptive strategies to support native species as climate conditions change. It increases access to new areas for migration and more room for hiding, hunting, breeding and rearing as needs evolve and increase.

Sediment may be reused to support the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration project or other environmental enhancement and restoration projects. Valley Water removes sediment from streams to maintain their capacity to carry floodwaters. To secure environmentally appropriate reuse sites, this project continues the existing partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and explores partnerships with others. This project also funds site improvements necessary to facilitate sediment delivery to the reuse sites. PROJECT D3: SEDIMENT REUSE TO SUPPORT SHORELINE RESTORATION • Accelerates progress of tidal marsh restoration • Reduces disposal costs by reusing sediment removed from flood channels • Addresses sea-level rise impacts Sediment reuse at Pond A8 Priority D28 SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM PROJECT D4: FISH HABITAT AND PASSAGE IMPROVEMENT • Improves habitat and passage for steelhead and other native fish • Contributes to required mitigation for reservoir and stream project impacts Almaden Lake Creek/Lake Separation Project Beneficial reuse of sediment has become a key component in tidal marsh restoration around the Bay. As sea levels rise, natural sedimentation and vegetation rates cannot keep up and tidal zones are in danger of being submerged, erasing environmental gains from restoration work. By delivering clean sediment from local creeks that would have naturally flowed into the San Francisco Bay, this project accelerates natural marsh- building processes and helps to keep up with sea-level rise. Activities necessary for sediment reuse may include testing, transport, cover material, and site improvements required for access. Benefits • Accelerates progress of important tidal wetland restoration projects • Reduces disposal costs for sediment that has been removed from local channels • Reduces disposal of clean fill into local landfills • Addresses climate change Key performance indicators 1. Maintain partnership agreements to reuse sediment to improve the success of salt pond and tidal marsh restoration projects and activities. 2.

Geographic area of benefit: Countywide Estimated funding from Safe, Clean Water Renewal: $4.1 million Estimated total project cost: $4.1 million PROJECT D4 FISH HABITAT AND PASSAGE IMPROVEMENT This project helps restore and maintain healthy fish populations, especially steelhead, by improving fish passage and habitat. Sites may include Alamitos Creek at Almaden Lake and County of Santa Clara-owned Ogier Ponds, where human-made creek alterations disrupt fish migration. Project D4, which includes coordinating and partnering with other external parties, incorporates studies of streams throughout the county to determine what and where habitat improvements will most benefit steelhead. These studies can be used by regional partners to implement complementary habitat enhancements. The project also continues funding to place instream gravel, boulders, large wood, or other features to enhance fish habitat at appropriate locations. By adding natural stream features such as large wood, we can create habitat to provide refuge during fish migration, prolonged drought, or extreme rainfall events. Additionally, habitat restoration can improve ecosystem function and increase resiliency to climate change. Priority D 29SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM Lead Biologist Unit Manager overlooking Coyote Ridge By restoring natural functions, issues such as water quality may be less exacerbated and native species can continue to flourish and adapt.

Geographic area of benefit: Countywide Estimated funding from Safe, Clean Water Renewal: $14.5 million Estimated total project cost: $19.6 million Priority D32 SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM PROJECT D7 PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE CONSERVATION OF HABITAT LANDS Funding from this project helps the community acquire and protect important habitat land to preserve local ecosystems. The project supports implementation of multi-agency agreements, such as the Valley Habitat Plan, that pool mitigation or conservation dollars to protect or restore large areas of habitat land. Acquiring, restoring, connecting and protecting habitat areas helps native species to adapt to a changing climate. Large, contiguous land patches allow species room to move and adapt, to find cover from the damaging effects of climate change and to reestablish resting and rearing areas. Benefits • Protects, enhances and restores natural resources in Santa Clara County • Contributes to the recovery of special status species • Coordinates regional mitigation or conservation projects to create larger, less fragmented conservation lands that are more beneficial for wildlife and the environment • May fulfill a portion of Valley Water’s responsibilities to the Valley Habitat Plan • Addresses climate change Key performance indicator 1. Provide up to $8 million per 15-year period for the acquisition or enhancement of property for the conservation of habitat lands. Geographic area of benefit: Countywide Estimated funding from Safe, Clean Water Renewal: $8.0 million Estimated total project cost: $8.0 million What happens to Priority D projects if funding is not available? Critical mitigation and maintenance work will be severely impacted. Important fish habitat and passage work may not occur and integral environmental studies and analysis will go unfunded. PROJECT D7: PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE CONSERVATION OF HABITAT LANDS • Protects, enhances and restores natural resources in Santa Clara County • Contributes to recovery of special status species • Coordinates regional mitigation and conservation projects Coyote Ceanothus Priority E 33SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM Priority E Provide Flood Protection to Homes, Businesses, Schools, Streets and Highways Priority E focuses on providing flood protection through major capital construction projects. Projects are prioritized to protect the largest number of people, homes and businesses, as well as safeguard the highways, streets, public transportation and business centers that people depend on for their livelihoods. In addition to continuing the existing flood protection projects, some of them with enhanced funding, this priority would now include the Lower Berryessa Creek Flood Protection Project. Almost all the construction projects under this priority describe a preferred project that relies on state and federal government funding and a local- funding-only project. Should federal funding become scarce, Valley Water would reduce the project scope to the local-funding-only project, as described in the individual project summaries. Whenever possible, Valley Water also leverages funds from state, local municipalities and other stakeholders. Climate change is a global reality and is expected to result in sea-level rise and more variable weather patterns, leading to potentially bigger and more frequent floods. Valley Water incorporates climate change projections, especially sea-level rise, in design and construction of more resilient flood protection projects that increase the capacity of channels to convey higher storm events without overbanking into local streets, highways and neighborhoods. Aerial view of Highway 101 Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection PRIORITY E Priority E34 SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM PROJECT E1 COYOTE CREEK FLOOD PROTECTION, MONTAGUE EXPRESSWAY TO TULLY ROAD –- SAN JOSÉ This project is to plan, design and construct improvements along approximately nine (9) miles of Coyote Creek, between Montague Expressway and Tully Road, in San José. The primary objective is to provide protection from floods up to the level that occurred on February 21, 2017, equivalent to approximately a 5% flood (20-year event). In December 2019, the Valley Water Board of Directors voted to allocate local funding for construction of the preferred project; however, Valley Water is also exploring additional external funding sources and partnership opportunities. Since 2017, Valley Water has implemented several short-term interim projects to help reduce the risk of flooding along Coyote Creek. These include the installation of an interim floodwall and embankment along the creek in the Rock Springs community. This structure protects the Rock Springs community from a flood event equivalent to the February 2017 flood. Other interim projects include repairing a 150-foot levee adjacent to the South Bay Mobile Home Park, installing flood gauges on bridges that provide real-time visual information on water levels and removing invasive vegetation from Valley Water and City property in parts of the creek that experienced the most flooding. Flooding History and Project Background Flooding has occurred many times within the Coyote Creek Watershed, including along portions of Coyote Creek in 1911, 1917, 1931, 1958, 1969, 1982, 1983, 1997, 1998, and 2017. The largest flow recorded on Coyote Creek was 25,000 cubic feet per second in 1911, prior to construction of the current two (2) water-supply reservoirs in the upper watershed. The worst flooding in the project reach since Anderson Reservoir was constructed in 1950 occurred in February 2017. Coyote Creek overtopped its banks at several locations between Montague Expressway and Tully Road. Businesses and hundreds of homes were inundated by creek waters for many hours. Highway 101 near Watson Park and various local streets were closed due to flooding, and thousands of residents had to be evacuated and sheltered. Originally, the project reach extended approximately 6.1 miles between Montague Expressway and Highway 280; however, the project reach was extended approximately 2.9 miles upstream to Tully Road in 2017 to include the Rock Springs neighborhood and incorporate the areas impacted by the February 2017 flood event. In addition to the primary objective of reducing flood risk, the project may evaluate opportunities to improve fisheries, stream habitat values, and public access. Benefits • Protects approximately 600 parcels from the level of flooding that occurred on February 21, 2017, approximately a 5% flood • Improves water quality, enhances stream habitat and increases recreational opportunities • Provides opportunities to incorporate revegetation and aesthetic elements to the Coyote Creek park chain in the project • Addresses climate change PROJECT E1: COYOTE CREEK FLOOD PROTECTION, MONTAGUE EXPRESSWAY TO TULLY ROAD –- SAN JOSÉ • Provides flood protection • Enhances stream habitat • Improves water quality • Increases recreational opportunities Interim floodwall and embankment along Coyote Creek in the Rock Springs community Priority E 35SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM Key performance indicator 1.

The Sunnyvale East Channel and Sunnyvale West Channel improvement projects have been combined into a single flood protection project with a single Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to reduce construction costs and improve efficiencies. Both projects decrease channel turbidity and sediment by repairing erosion sites, thereby improving water quality and reducing sediment to the San Francisco Bay. In 2018, Valley Water entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Google, LLC (Google) to incorporate Google’s proposed enhancement effort along 1,100 linear feet of the Sunnyvale West Channel into the project. This portion of the project will also be part of Google’s Caribbean Campus Project. Valley Water has completed 100% design and has submitted all required permit applications for the project. Once all permits are received, Valley Water will begin construction. Flooding History and Project Background The Sunnyvale East Channel and the Sunnyvale West Channel were constructed in the 1960s to serve as storm drains with approximately 10% flood protection (10-year event). They were constructed in response to flooding caused by a combination of major storm events, land subsidence, and inadequate drainage to south San Francisco Bay. Since construction, the storm drain channels have experienced flooding during major storm events in 1968, 1983, 1986, and 1998. Benefits • Provides 1% flood capacity for approximately 6.4 miles of channel along Sunnyvale East and approximately three (3) miles of channel along Sunnyvale West within the City of Sunnyvale, protecting 1,618 properties (Sunnyvale East) and 47 acres (11 properties) of industrial land (Sunnyvale West) • Improves stream water quality by providing erosion control measures to decrease sediment and turbidity • Identifies recreational opportunities that can be integrated by the City of Sunnyvale and others as appropriate • Addresses climate change Key performance indicator 1. Provide 1% (100-year) flood protection for 1,618 properties and 47 acres (11 parcels) of industrial land, while improving stream water quality and working with other agencies to incorporate recreational opportunities.

Once constructed, this project will provide 1% (100-year event) flood protection to 1,100 parcels affected by Upper Calera Creek from the drop structure upstream of Arizona Avenue upstream to José Higuera Adobe Park, and to an estimated 320 parcels along Tularcitos Creek between its confluence with Berryessa Creek and Interstate 680. Additionally, this project will address inadequate maintenance access along all three creeks, which has made past maintenance more difficult, costly and time-consuming. Design for this project is slated to begin in 2032. Flooding History and Project Background Flooding occurred along Berryessa Creek in 1982, 1983 and 1997. While no reports of flooding along Calera Creek or Tularcitos Creek have been discovered, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Valley Water 1% flood maps indicate potential flooding along portions of Lower Berryessa Creek and Calera Creek. Flows in Lower Berryessa Creek have a backwater effect on most of Tularcitos Creek. Tularcitos Creek cannot contain design flows due to both this backwater effect and inadequate channel capacity. Also, though the existing levees on both sides of Tularcitos Creek are structurally stable, they are constructed with highly plastic clay that shrinks and swells, causing erosion and cracking along portions of the levees. Additionally, Upper Calera Creek cannot contain design flows due to inadequate channel capacity. Benefits • Provides 1% flood protection for an estimated 1,420 parcels along Upper Calera and Tularcitos creeks • Improves access for long-term channel maintenance for both creeks • Incorporates opportunities to integrate levees with the City of Milpitas trail system • Identifies opportunities for stream habitat enhancement and/or restoration • Addresses climate change Key performance indicator 1. With local funding only: Complete the design phase of the 1% (100-year) flood protection project to protect an estimated 1,420 parcels.

Part of the project will protect the area around the Bay Area Rapid Transit’s (BART) Berryessa station near King Road, which would otherwise be subject to flooding. In addition to providing flood protection, this multi-objective project will provide ecological restoration and recreation benefits while preserving the water supply. The natural creek channel will be preserved while adjacent existing open space and parkland will remain as recreational areas, only rarely taking the role as a temporary floodplain so that floodwaters do not enter surrounding neighborhoods and commercial areas. Proposed construction measures may include modified floodplains, limited levees/ floodwalls, a bypass channel, and fish passage improvements. Local-funding-only project The original local-funding-only project was to acquire all necessary rights-of-way and construct a 1% (100-year event) flood protection project from Coyote Creek confluence to King Road, which would have protected 450 parcels. In December 2019, the Valley Water Board directed staff to use the available local funding to complete the design and Priority E 39SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM PROJECT E4: UPPER PENITENCIA CREEK FLOOD PROTECTION, COYOTE CREEK TO DOREL DRIVE -- SAN JOSÉ • Provides flood protection • Restores and enhances riparian habitat • Improves stream water quality Upper Penintencia along Commodore Park construction of the locally funded project as well as build the reaches of the preferred project that can be constructed with the available funding. This approach extends the local-funding-only project from King Road to Capital Avenue and provides 1% flood protection for an additional 800 parcels. As a result, the new local-funding-only project would be to construct flood improvements along Upper Penitencia Creek from the confluence of Coyote Creek to Capital Avenue to increase the 1% flood protection provided with local available dollars to 1,250 parcels, including the new Berryessa BART station. Flooding History and Project Background Upper Penitencia is a major tributary of Coyote Creek, flowing westerly from Alum Rock Park through the residential neighborhoods of Berryessa and Alum Rock in San José. Approximately 8,000 homes, schools, businesses, including many high-tech and commercial industries supporting the greater Silicon Valley, and the new Berryessa BART station are in this floodplain. With the capacity to carry less than a 10% flood (10-year event), Upper Penitencia Creek has spilled its banks at least seven (7) times since Valley Water began preparing flood reports in 1967. Damaging flood events occurred in 1978, 1980, 1982, 1983, 1986, 1995, and 1998, impacting many homes, businesses and surface streets. Benefits • Preferred project provides up to 1% flood protection to approximately 8,000 homes, schools and businesses. • Local-funding-only project provides 1% flood protection to 1,250 parcels, including the new Berryessa BART station. • Restores/enhances ecological and riparian habitat • Reduces sedimentation and maintenance requirements • Improves water quality in Upper Penitencia and Coyote creeks • Provides opportunities for recreation improvements consistent with the City of San José and Santa Clara County Park master plans • Addresses climate change Key performance indicator 1. Preferred project with federal and local funding: Construct a flood protection project to provide 1% (100-year) flood protection to 8,000 parcels. 2.

Preferred project: A federal-state-local partnership The project is to construct improvements along San Francisquito Creek from San Francisco Bay to Middlefield Road and additional detention of floodwaters upstream of Highway 280 to provide 1% (100-year event) flood protection, ecosystem protection and recreational benefits to surrounding communities. Local-state-funding-only partnership Highway 101 to Pope-Chaucer Bridge This stretch of the project will remedy channel constrictions and replace bridges at Newell Road and Pope/Chaucer streets to allow the channel to contain floodwaters of approximately 7,500 cubic feet per second, equivalent to approximately a 1.4% flood event (70-year event). Allowing this level of water to flow through the channel will protect approximately 3,000 parcels in Palo Alto from a flood event close to the February 1998 flood, the largest on record. Currently the channel can only convey approximately a 7% flood event (approximately a 15-year event). Newell Road Bridge The Newell Road bridge replacement, unlike the rest of the project elements in this stretch, is sponsored by the City of Palo Alto, which has applied for funding through Caltrans’ Highway Bridge Program (HBP). The project has been programmed by Caltrans to fund approximately 89% of the total cost for replacing the Newell Road bridge, while the local match funds, approximately 11% of the total cost, will be funded by Valley Water through the Safe, Clean Water Program renewal. The City of East Palo Alto and the SFCJPA continue to provide input on the Newell Road bridge replacement. The SFCJPA continues to pursue partnerships with federal, state and local agencies for additional construction funding. In 2019, Valley Water completed the construction of the San Francisco Bay to Highway 101 reach of the project to provide 1% flood protection and ecosystem benefits to the neighboring communities. Major improvements included construction of approximately 4,000 feet of floodwall and creating a significantly wider creek marsh plain. Therefore, completion of this stretch protects approximately 3,000 parcels in Palo Alto from a flood event close to the February 1998 flood, the largest on record. Flooding History and Project Background San Francisquito Creek is one of the last continuous riparian corridors on the San Francisco Peninsula, and is also home to one of the few remaining viable steelhead trout runs. The creek can cause severe flood damage with very little warning and has overflowed seven (7) times since 1910. Priority E 41SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM During the February 1998 El Niño event, record flooding caused an estimated $28 million in damages in Palo Alto, East Palo Alto and Menlo Park. More than 1,100 homes were flooded in Palo Alto, and Highway 101 was closed, as were numerous other roadways. The largest flood on record prior to 1998 occurred in December of 1955 when the creek overtopped its banks in several locations, inundating about 1,200 acres of commercial and residential property. Damages were estimated at nearly $2 million in 1956 dollars. Total damages from a 1% flood event are estimated at $300 million in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, as calculated by the USACE in 2011.

This project relies on federal participation from the USACE to review and approve the plans. Without federal participation, Valley Water cannot implement planning, design and construction on our own due to limited available funding. The proposed Safe, Clean Water funding provides Valley Water’s cost share to complete the planning study, design and construction for Economic Impact Areas (EIAs) 1-4, and provides Valley Water’s cost share to complete the planning study and design for EIAs 5-10 . The 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program has already provided $15 million as a portion of Valley Water’s local share of funding for flood protection improvements in Economic Impact Area (EIA) 11, which is the urban area of North San José and the community of Alviso. Once completed, EIA 11 will provide flood protection to more than 1,000 residential structures and 100 non-residential structures, and allow for the restoration of 2,900 acres of tidal marsh and related habitats. The project will provide coastal flood protection from a rising sea level, and will restore and enhance tidal marsh by using a combination of flood protection levees, wetlands and transitional zone habitats also known as ecotones. Ecotones will provide an additional protective buffer for the levee and allow marsh habitat to migrate upslope as the sea level rises. This approach of using natural infrastructure will help develop a resilient and adaptable flood protection system that can evolve in the future. Flooding History and Project Background This project stems from the 2003 acquisition of thousands of acres of former South Bay salt production ponds, purchased for wetland restoration with combined public and private funding. The South Bay Shoreline Protection Project is an important component of the South Bay Salt Ponds Restoration Project, a large, multi-agency effort to restore 15,100 acres of tidal wetlands near San José, Mountain View and East Palo Alto/Menlo Park Baylands. Without incorporating flood protection measures along the inboard side of the former salt ponds, proposed wetland restoration would be likely to increase coastal flood risks to the shoreline areas. This project would construct flood protection levees to protect Silicon Valley’s “Golden Triangle,” bounded by Highway 101, State Route 237 and Interstate 880. Multiple flood events since the mid-1990s have damaged business operations in this area, which is home to major high-tech corporations including Intel, Google, Yahoo, Cisco and others. The project would also protect low- lying communities, as well as important infrastructure such as airports and sewage treatment plants. The existing multi-agency partnerships for the San Francisco Bay Shoreline Study and the South Bay Salt Ponds Restoration project will continue to ensure all the goals for both these projects are achieved.

Improvements include channel widening, construction of floodwalls and levees, replacement of road crossings and planting of streamside vegetation. Reducing flood frequency and bank erosion will improve water quality, while planned mitigation measures will give fish access to an additional 12 miles of habitat within and upstream of the project reach. USACE has initiated a General Re-evaluation Report (GRR) of the preferred project, which is anticipated to be completed by October 2023. The scope of the project may change as a result of the GRR findings. Local-funding-only project The locally funded project entails constructing flood protection improvements along 4,100 feet of Guadalupe River between the Southern Pacific Railroad (SPRR) crossing, downstream of Willow Street, to the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) crossing, downstream of Padres Drive (Reach 7). It also includes completing a gravel augmentation project along approximately 800 linear feet of the Upper Guadalupe River in San José, from approximately the Union Pacific Railroad Bridge to West Virginia Street Bridge to improve aquatic habitat for migrating steelhead and channel stability. Flood damage will be reduced through the local-funding-only project. However, protection from the 1% (100-year event) flood is not provided without completion of the entire Upper Guadalupe River Flood Protection Project. Mitigation elements of the project, namely Reach 10B (from Curtner Avenue to Almaden Expressway) and Reach 12 (from Brahnam Lane to Blossom Hill Road), were completed in 2015 in partnerships with USACE. Construction on the gravel augmentation project is scheduled to begin in August 2021. Flooding History and Project Background Damaging flood events occurred in 1982, 1983, 1986, 1995 and 1998. Severe flooding in 1995 damaged more than 150 homes in the Gardner, Willow Glen, and South San José residential districts, and shut down Highway 87 and the parallel light rail line – both major commuter thoroughfares. Freeway and light rail flooding occurred again in 1998. Benefits • Preferred project will construct 1% flood conveyance capacity for 5.5 miles of channel in San José, protecting approximately 6,280 homes, 320 businesses and 10 schools/ institutions • Local funding only constructs improvements to 4,100 linear feet of Guadalupe River between the Southern Pacific Railroad (SPRR) crossing, downstream of Willow Street, to the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) crossing downstream of Padres Drive to convey 1% flow • Improves stream habitat values and fisheries • Improves stream water quality Priority E 47SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM • Allows for creekside trail access • Addresses climate change Key performance indicators 1.

This newly proposed priority pulls together multi-benefit projects that were previously placed under other priorities in the 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program and groups them based on their common benefit of supporting public health and public safety along our waterways and critical infrastructure. This priority would include enhanced funding to support public safety by partnering with local municipalities on services related to encampment cleanups; reducing trash and other pollutants from entering waterways from encampments to support public health; and ongoing vegetation control and sediment removal activities to maintain conveyance capacity of flood protection projects. It would also provide additional funding for grants and partnerships for local agencies, organizations and individuals for water conservation, pollution prevention, creek cleanups and education, wildlife habitat and access to trails and open space. Additionally, it would include two newly proposed efforts: a project to fund public art to beautify Valley Water property and infrastructure to deter graffiti and litter, and a long-term effort to ensure that existing flood protection infrastructure continues to function sustainably for continued public safety. Other projects would include vegetation management for access and fire safety, removing flood-inducing blockages and improving coordination and communication in flood emergencies. Stream maintenance in Coyote Creek Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection PRIORITY F Priority F50 SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM PROJECT F1 VEGETATION CONTROL AND SEDIMENT REMOVAL FOR CAPACITY This project supports Valley Water’s ongoing vegetation control and sediment removal activities that reduce flood risk by maintaining the design conveyance capacity of flood protection projects. The project includes controlling in-stream vegetation and tree growth and removing sediment at appropriate intervals. Before carrying out in-stream maintenance, Valley Water’s personnel perform biological pre-construction surveys to minimize environmental impacts. This project also helps fund future maintenance of flood protection projects completed under the Safe, Clean Water Program. This project comprises two (2) sub-projects that support Valley Water’s ongoing vegetation control and sediment removal activities. These sub-projects are: F1.1 Vegetation Control for Capacity F1.2 Sediment Removal for Capacity Benefits • Ensures that existing flood protection projects continue to provide flood protection • Improves water quality Key performance indicator 1.

Geographic area of benefit: Countywide Estimated funding from Safe, Clean Water Renewal: $7.2 million Estimated total project cost: $7.2 million PROJECT F2: EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANNING AND PREPAREDNESS • Improves flood preparedness • Reduces flood damages • Provides effective coordinated response to disaster-related emergencies Emergency response planning Priority F52 SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM PROJECT F3: FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENT STUDIES • Provides more accurate mapping of areas at risk of flooding • Identifies locations in need of preventative maintenance to prevent creek deterioration • Supports communication with partner agencies on evolving flood risks Measuring high-water marks in San José after the Coyote Creek flood of 2017 PROJECT F3 FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENT STUDIES This project is to enable Valley Water scientists to update custom software models of local creeks for the most current and accurate understanding of potential flood risks in high priority flood-prone areas and then develop options for managing those risks. Existing models will be verified, updated and recalibrated as conditions change. Updating our knowledge-base will lead to more effective creek management and maintenance. Valley Water will also convey this information to the community and partner cities. When creek conditions necessitate rehabilitation to preserve flood protection, this project also funds preliminary engineering studies to isolate problem areas and explore potential solutions. Current engineering studies to be completed are: • Calera Creek near Milpitas High School to Interstate 680 in Milpitas, which will feed into the design of Project E3: Lower Berryessa Flood Protection • Tributaries to Lower Silver Creek (Ruby, Norwood, Quimby and Fowler creeks) in San José • Ross Creek in San José, from Guadalupe River to Blossom Hill Road As of June 30, 2019, Valley Water had completed four (4) engineering studies under this project. These were on Coyote Creek (Bay to Anderson Dam, including Rock Springs Neighborhood); Adobe and Barron creeks tidal flood protection (Highway 101 to Middlefield Road in Palo Alto); and Alamitos Creek (upstream of Almaden Lake) in San José. The Coyote Creek study completed under this project was utilized to develop the short-term interim projects that Valley Water built to help reduce the risk of flooding along Coyote Creek (See Project E1 - Coyote Creek Flood Protection Project). These include the installation of an interim floodwall and embankment along the creek to protect the Rock Springs community from a flood event equivalent to the February 2017 flood. Valley Water also updated the Alamitos Creek 2-D hydraulic (HEC-RAS) model of the 1% (100-year event) floodplain and shared the information with the City of San José. Revising flood models on a regular basis enables Valley Water to keep pace with changes in rainfall patterns and intensity as our climate changes. An up-to-date understanding of flood risks allows us to work toward preventing future flooding.

Without funding, our creeks could become overrun with encampments, trash and debris, causing blockages that could lead to flooding and impacting the quality of our water. THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK Financing the Program 61SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM Financing The proposed extension of the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program (Safe, Clean Water Program) would update and extend the measure that voters approved with an overwhelming majority in 2012. If approved by voters, the revenue from the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal would continue to be collected in the same manner as under the current 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program. All existing active projects started under the current 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program would continue under the proposed Safe, Clean Water renewal. The proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal is expected to generate approximately $45.5 million each year in 2020 dollars. In the first 15 years, an estimated $682.5 million is expected to be generated to help fund the 32 capital and operating projects listed and discussed in previous chapters. This figure does not include a potential annual escalator that the Board may utilize to account for inflation, as described further below. Since the renewal is proposed to continue until repealed by voters, completed projects would be replaced with new projects to meet community needs and address the challenges of the time. Furthermore, after a period of no longer than 15 years, the Valley Water Board would evaluate the need for the Safe, Clean Water Program and determine whether the special tax should be reduced or repealed or maintained to build additional projects that accomplish the community identified Safe, Clean Water Program priorities. Should the Board determine that no additional projects are needed, the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program special tax would be reduced accordingly to reflect a transition from funding new projects to funding operation, maintenance and replacement of projects that were constructed with Safe, Clean Water Program funds. This process would include the Valley Water advisory committees and the Safe, Clean Water Program’s independent monitoring committee (IMC) making recommendations to the Board on whether to reduce, repeal or maintain the special tax. This evaluation will take place every 15 years. The proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal would follow 15-year financial planning cycles. This will allow Valley Water to align the budget each year with the projects’ key performance indicators as well as long-term planning efforts, such as the Capital Improvement Program. The proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal would build in flexibility to revisit the projects to ensure they continue to align with the community’s and the Board’s priorities, as well as meet new challenges or take advantage of new opportunities that arise. Five-year implementation plans would also be developed to serve as checkpoints during implementation of the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal. In addition to these forward-looking plans, each year Valley Water would produce an annual report, which looks back on the prior fiscal year and reports on each project’s expenditures and progress towards delivery of its key performance indicators (KPIs). Those annual reports would be reviewed by the Independent Monitoring Committee, which would make recommendations to the Board regarding any adjustments or modifications that may be required. Furthermore, the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal would continue the practice of the 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program to require independent audits every five years, and include a change control process, which would require all adjustments be made by the Board during board meetings. Modifications to KPIs or decisions to not implement a project would require public hearings. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS • Primary source of revenue for the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal is a special parcel tax • Proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal is expected to generate approximately $45.5 million each year • Proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal will follow 15-year financial planning cycles • An estimated $682.5 million is expected to be generated in the first 15 years to help fund 32 capital and operating projects • Proposed program renewal is an extension of the current 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program, as such the parcel tax will continue to be assessed at the same rates as under the current 2012 program Financing the Program SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM62 This financial section provides an overview of the proposed update to the Safe, Clean Water Program, including revenues, financing, expenditures, special tax rate structure, and details on the transition from the existing 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program. Financial Highlights RATE STAYS THE SAME Because the proposed program renewal would be an extension of the current 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program, the parcel tax would continue to be assessed at the same rates as under the current 2012 program. Note that taxes for FY2021-22 would only be assessed and collected based on whichever is in effect, either the existing Safe, Clean Water Program, or the renewed Safe, Clean Water Program, if it passes. LOCAL TAX STAYS LOCAL As with the current 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program, the update would be used for specific local projects only. The state cannot redirect the money to other non-local projects or obligations. SEAMLESS TRANSITION If voters approve the proposed update, they would not notice any difference in their tax rate. The Safe, Clean Water charge would continue to be assessed as it has been since the passage of the current program in 2012. The official start of the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal would occur on July 1, 2021, and Valley Water would receive first revenue from the special tax in January 2022. CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (CPI) ADJUSTMENT The tax would continue to be assessed in the same manner, but the Valley Water Board of Directors may adjust it annually to account for inflation. If they elect to do so, they would adjust the tax using the San Francisco-Oakland-San José Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers. If the Consumer Price Index is lower than 2%, the Board may set it up to 2%. RECOVERY OF COSTS OF NATURAL DISASTER DAMAGE Extreme weather and natural disasters such as wildfires and floods are becoming more frequent, endangering infrastructure that delivers safe, clean water to the community or that provides flood protection. The best way to deal with the possibility of damage to these facilities from natural disasters is through prevention, which is included in projects covering emergency response preparedness, upgrades and assessments. However, we cannot control nature, and sometimes there will be unanticipated disasters and damage. In such an event, the Board may increase the special tax rates to meet the repair cost of Valley Water facilities damaged by flooding or other natural disasters. The maximum tax rate shall be the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index plus up to 4.5% to cover the repair costs. A special tax rate increase such as this can only be collected for three years after an unanticipated disaster has occurred. Financing the Program 63SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM EXEMPTION FOR LOW-INCOME SENIOR CITIZENS Though the rate is relatively low, it can still be a burden for low-income seniors. That is why Valley Water would continue to provide an exemption from the tax for those who are low- income, own at least 50% of the property they reside in and have turned 65 years old before the end of the fiscal year in which the tax is due. Many low-income seniors already receive the exemption under the current 2012 program, and would continue to receive the exemption under the renewed program. Low-income seniors not currently receiving the exemption would need to apply. “Low-income” is defined as 75% of the state median total household income. The latest available data from 2018 indicates that the state median total household income level was $75,277; “low income” would then be $56,458. FUNDING SOURCES The proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal derives its funding for projects from four sources: the special parcel tax, capital reimbursements, interest earnings and carryover of the reserves from unspent funds under the current 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program. The special tax is expected to generate $45.5 million per year in the first 15 years. Capital reimbursements are expected to account for $107 million during that same period, and interest earnings are expected to be $21.3 million. The reserves that will carry over are estimated to total $70.0 million. SPECIAL PARCEL TAX REVENUE The primary source of revenue for the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal is a special parcel tax. The revenue can be used for any voter-approved purpose, such as construction projects, maintenance and other services, including those benefiting public health and public safety, all as listed in this report. By potentially continuing the Safe, Clean Water Program with updates to address current needs, Valley Water can avoid the extra costs of developing a new type of tax program. The rate structure for calculating the special parcel tax would remain the same and would be applied equitably and consistently throughout the county. It is based on the size of each parcel and its use, which relates to the stormwater runoff from each parcel. The majority of program activities and benefits are directly or indirectly related to stormwater runoff, and this nexus would be maintained for the life of the Safe, Clean Water Program renewal. Land use, estimated stormwater runoff and the special tax calculation formula are described in Appendix D. CARRYOVER OF RESERVES The current 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program uses a mixture of pay-as-you-go funding and debt financing to pay for the included projects. Pay-as-you-go financing, which means that Valley Water does not begin construction until there are sufficient funds in hand, has resulted in accumulated reserves for certain projects. As of July 1, 2021, Valley Water is projected to have $70.0 million in reserves designated for 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program projects, and that money would continue to be available to those projects under the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal. STATE REIMBURSEMENTS AND OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS Certain flood protection projects carried forward from the 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program to the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal are eligible to receive subvention funds from the California Department of Water Resources’ State Flood Control Subventions Program. These subventions Because the proposed program renewal is an extension of the current 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program, the parcel tax would continue to be assessed at the same rates as under the current 2012 program. 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program - Calabazas Creek Flood Protection Project completion ceremony.Left image: 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program - Upper Berryessa Creek Flood Protection Project - Finalized Trestle Bridge. Financing the Program SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM64 are financial reimbursements available to local agencies that construct federally authorized flood protection projects, and certain Valley Water flood protection projects have already begun to receive these subventions, making them a secondary source of funding for the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal. For the list of flood protection projects under the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal, Valley Water expects to receive $6.9 million in the first 15 years. That is expected to increase as the listed projects are completed and new ones are added. Federally authorized flood protection projects do not typically receive money directly from the federal government; however, by partnering with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers when possible, Valley Water receives in-kind work including planning, design and construction. In addition, Valley Water is seeking $80 million from the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) to help fund a critical portion of the Upper Llagas flood protection project. Finally, Valley Water is seeking $20 million in grants and partnership funding to complete the San Francisquito Creek flood protection project. While it is planned that Valley Water will apply for these grants/state reimbursements, there is no guarantee of receipt. INTEREST EARNINGS Funds awaiting use accumulate interest, primarily in the pay- as-you-go capital program financing method. PAY-AS-YOU-GO AND DEBT FINANCING FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS The proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal would use a combination of pay-as-you-go and debt financing to pay for capital projects. While Valley Water must wait until it has sufficient funds to begin work under the pay-as-you- go financing structure, debt financing allows Valley Water to borrow money upfront against the stream of revenue projected over the course of the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal. Over the first 15 years of the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program, Valley Water anticipates receiving $310 million of Debt Proceeds. FUNDING USES Funding for the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal would be used to achieve various aspects of it, including implementing the priorities through the various projects, planning and delivery, debt financing, and unanticipated expenditures. Some of the projects included in the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal have already begun. Funding would be allocated to these projects to see them through to completion as described on a project by project basis. DEBT SERVICE, DEBT PROCEEDS, AND RATE STABILIZATION RESERVE Valley Water currently projects that $310 million in debt would be issued with 30-year repayment terms within the first 15 years of the program. Average annual debt service is estimated at $19.7 million, totaling $296.1 million over the first 15 years of the program and $627 over the first 30 years. A Rate Stabilization Reserve is planned with funding levels that range from $0 million to $74 million over the first 15 years of the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal to help ensure that the debt service coverage ratio is maintained at a minimum of one times the annual debt service amount on a net basis (current year revenues less current year operating and maintenance expense and transfers in/out). In year seven (7) (FY 2027-28), $59 million is planned to be transferred to the Water Utility fund, primarily to fund the Anderson Dam Seismic Retrofit project. The Rate Stabilization Reserve is planned to be drawn down in that year to fund the transfer. 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program Grants and Partnerships - Oak Cove Trail Financing the Program 65SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM SUMMARY OF FUNDING SOURCES AND USES As shown in the table below, for the first 15 years of the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal, funding sources are projected to exceed expenditures such that a $40 million Contingency Reserve would be eventually accumulated, helping to ensure Valley Water would be able to deliver on the commitments made in the November 2020 ballot. In addition, undesignated reserves are projected at $50 million by the end of the first 15-year cycle of which $28 million is the projected minimum balance per Board policy.

THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK Implementing the Program 67SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM Implementing the Program To keep the public apprised of the use of their tax dollars, a potential renewal of the 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program would continue to include oversight, transparency and accountability. Updated and enhanced, the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal would extend funding until repealed by voters. Additionally, after a period of no longer than 15 years, the Valley Water Board would evaluate the need for the Safe, Clean Water Program and determine whether the special tax should be reduced or repealed or maintained to build additional projects that accomplish the community identified Safe, Clean Water Program priorities. Should the Board determine that no additional projects are needed, the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program special tax would be reduced accordingly to reflect a transition from funding new projects to funding operation, maintenance and replacement of projects that were constructed with Safe, Clean Water Program funds. This process would include the Valley Water advisory committees and the Safe, Clean Water Program’s independent monitoring committee (IMC) making recommendations to the Board on whether to reduce, repeal or maintain the special tax. This evaluation will take place every 15 years. The proposed Safe, Clean Water and Natural Program would follow 15-year financial planning cycles. Prior to the development of each 15-year financial plan Valley Water would conduct outreach to engage the community and key stakeholders, including the Safe, Clean Water Program’s independent monitoring committee (IMC) and Valley Water advisory committees, to help ensure that the Program priorities remain aligned with the priorities of the residents of Santa Clara County. As projects under the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program are completed, the Board shall identify and prioritize new projects for inclusion in the Program. These new projects may be identified and proposed for Board approval at a public meeting through the Board’s review and approval of the five-year implementation plans or as directed by the Board. Structure of the Program includes Transparency The structure for the current 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program is guiding that of the proposed renewal. Because times, circumstances and needs change, the potential renewal would continue to provide flexibility through development of implementation plans every five years, an annual report on expenditures and project progress, and a detailed change control process to allow adjustments and modifications. These provisions provide transparency, giving the public an opportunity to see how their tax dollars are being put to work, and giving Valley Water a means to address new challenges or opportunities. To begin, Valley Water would continue compiling five-year implementation plans for the Safe, Clean Water Program renewal, as is the practice with the current 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program. These plans outline the expected focus on these projects for the upcoming five years. They also provide an opportunity to reassess projects and key performance indicators (KPIs), to ensure they continue to fulfill the existing 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program - Independent Monitoring Committee tour of the McKelvey Park flood detention facility, which is part of the Permanente Creek Flood Protection Project Implementing the Program SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM68 The transparency provided by the various check-in points and public session discussions of any potential changes allows the public an unvarnished look into the program’s accomplishments, expenditures and opportunities for improvement. . priorities of the community and Board of Directors and address any new needs that may arise. The Board would not be limited to making changes to the program at these 5-year intervals. The Board may make changes to reflect any economic, policy or regulatory changes or in response to recommendations from external independent audits or from the independent monitoring committee that provides independent oversight of the program. All adjustments that the Board makes must be made during the public session of the Board’s meetings, and any changes to the KPIs or decisions not to implement a project require a public hearing before being voted on by the Board. Accountability Accountability remains important in the proposed continuation of the program as well. The transparency provided by the various check-points and public Board discussions of any potential changes allows the public an unvarnished look into the program’s accomplishments, expenditures and opportunities for improvement. The establishment of an independent citizen oversight committee, as existing with the current 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program and stipulated in the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal, would provide a dedicated, independent body to keep track of included priorities and projects. The Board would appoint individuals to this IMC. Staff would produce annual reports and make them available to Santa Clara County residents and the IMC, providing details of the updated Safe, Clean Water Program’s finances and the progress made on all the projects. The IMC would use these annual reports to provide independent oversight and to make recommendations to the Board regarding adjustments or modifications that may be required of the potentially renewed Safe, Clean Water Program. The IMC would also review each proposed five-year implementation plan prior to its submittal for Board approval. Through review of both the annual reports and five-year implementation plans, the IMC may make recommendations to the Valley Water Board regarding reasonably necessary measures to meet the priorities of the Safe, Clean Water Program. Every 15 years, the IMC would review, and recommend to the Board and general public, whether the special tax should be reduced or repealed or maintained to build additional projects to accomplish the community identified Safe, Clean Water Program priorities. In addition, Valley Water is proposing requiring audits of the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal every five years by an independent organization. This would give Valley Water and the residents and businesses of Santa Clara County another unbiased window into the Safe, Clean Water Program and would provide specific recommendations for change if necessary. Because this is a measure specifically endorsed by the voters, changing it is not something Valley Water takes lightly. If passed, Valley Water would adhere as closely to the renewed Safe, Clean Water Program as possible. However, sometimes circumstances change and a project that was listed under the community- and Board-approved priorities may no longer be feasible or beneficial. In that case, the project may require a change to its KPIs, or no longer need to be implemented under the updated Safe, Clean Water Program. Changing the KPIs or deciding not to implement a project are important changes that require careful consideration. Under the current 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program, Valley Water is implementing a change control process that adheres to best practices and helps the program remain accountable to the voters. As per this process, any such changes would require a public hearing at a Board meeting, during which members of the public would be able to share their opinions on the recommendation. Valley Water always strives to be responsible to all in our community. Recognizing that a special parcel tax can pose an economic difficulty for low-income senior citizens, Valley Water has built a continuation of the current practice of providing an exemption from the tax for qualifying low-income senior citizens into the proposed renewal of the program. This has been an important part of the existing 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program and a feature for which the community expressed support. Implementing the Program 69SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM Role of the Board Valley Water is governed by a 7-member elected Board whose responsibility includes reviewing the proposed renewal of the 2012 Safe, Clean Water Program and make decisions regarding its implementation. This responsibility also includes reviewing the performance and financial analyses of the potential Safe, Clean Water Program renewal, reviewing reports and updates from staff and the independent monitoring committee, and carefully considering community input. Through the aggregation of this information, the Board will decide whether and what to modify, add to or delete from the proposed Safe, Clean Water Program renewal. It is the Board’s duty to conduct this business in open, public sessions and to hold public hearings on specific requests for changes to a project’s KPIs or if deciding not to implement a project. Additionally, after a period of no longer than 15 years, the Valley Water Board would evaluate the need for the Safe, Clean Water Program and determine whether the special tax should be reduced or repealed or maintained to build additional projects that accomplish the community identified Safe, Clean Water Program priorities.

SECOND: Pursuant to the authority of Section 3 of the District Act, a Combined Zone consisting of the aggregate metes and bounds descriptions of Zones One, Two, Three, Four, and Five is presently existing as generally depicted in Attachment 1. THIRD: A special Valley Water Election for November 3, 2020 will be called within said District, on the proposition of levy of a special tax. FOURTH: Subject to approval by two-thirds of the electors of Valley Water voting at such election and pursuant to the authority vested in the Board, there is hereby established a special tax as authorized by this resolution, the proceeds of which shall be used solely for the purpose of supporting the priorities of the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program. The priorities are summarized in Attachment-2. The Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program Report (hereafter “Report”) generally describes the priorities. This tax shall be instituted with the following provisions: A.The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or designee of Valley Water is directed to cause a written Report to be prepared for each fiscal year for which a special tax is to be levied and to file and record the same, all as required by governing law. Said Report shall include the proposed special tax rates for the upcoming fiscal year at any rate up to the maximum rate approved by the voters. Valley Water’s Board of Directors shall consider formal acceptance of this Report at a public meeting and shall thereafter make a final determination of special taxes with a confirming resolution. A special fund shall be established into which proceeds from the tax shall be deposited. Proceeds from the tax may be used only for the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program.

Changes or corrections in the computation of the area of a parcel; 6.As to railroad, gas, water, telephone, cable television, electric utility right of way, electric line right of way, or other utility right of way properties. Changes and corrections are not valid unless and until approved by the Board. C.The Clerk of the Board shall immediately file certified copies of the final determination of special taxes and confirming resolution with the Auditor-Controller of the County of Santa Clara and shall immediately record with the County Recorder of said County a certified copy of the resolution confirming the special tax. D.The special tax for each parcel set forth in the final determination by the Board shall appear as a separate item on the tax bill and shall be levied and collected at the same time and in the same manner as the general tax levy for county purposes. Upon recording of the resolution confirming the special tax such special tax shall be a lien upon the real property affected thereby. E.Failure to meet the time limits set forth in this resolution for whatever reason shall not invalidate any special tax levied hereunder. F.No special tax for the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program shall be imposed upon a federal or state or local governmental agency. Where real property owned by a federal, state, or local agency is leased to a private person or private entity, the private interest so created shall be separately assessed as a possessory interest and the special tax for the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program shall be levied on all holders of such possessory interests. With said exceptions, a Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program special tax is levied on each parcel of real property in the five Flood Control Zones of Valley Water subject to this resolution for the purposes stated in the Report and in this resolution. Except for the minimum special tax as hereinafter indicated, the special tax for each parcel of real property in each such zone is computed by determining its area (in acres or fractions thereof) and land use category (as hereinafter defined) and then multiplying the area by the special tax rate applicable to land in such land use category. A minimum special tax may be levied on each parcel of real property having a land area up to 0.25 acre for Groups A, B, and C, up to 10 acres for Groups D and E Urban and, for Group E Rural, the minimum special tax shall be that as calculated for the E Urban category.

Such claim is subject to investigation by Valley Water as to the accuracy of the claim. Parcel owner shall furnish information deemed necessary by Valley Water to confirm the actual uses and areas in question which may include, but not be limited to, a survey by a licensed surveyor. 2.The parcel owner shall request Valley Water to inspect the parcel and reevaluate the parcel tax. 3.The parcel owner shall notify Valley Water after a substantial change in the actual land use occurs, including a new estimate of the portion of the parcel that is different than the designated land use. 4.Valley Water may inspect and verify the actual land use for these parcels on a regular basis and will notify the appropriate parcel owners when it is determined that the actual land use has matched a county or city designated land use. Valley Water shall then correct the special tax rates for these parcels accordingly. J.Pursuant to state law, Valley Water may provide an exemption from the special tax for low income owner-occupied residential properties for taxpayer-owners who are 65 years of age or older, the following shall apply: Residential parcels where the total annual household income does not exceed 75 percent of the latest available figure for state median income at the time the annual tax is set, and such parcel is owned and occupied by at least one person who is aged 65 years or older is qualified to apply for an exemption from the applicable special tax. K.The Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program shall follow 15-year financial planning cycles. This will allow Valley Water to align its budget each year with the projects’ key performance indicators as well as long-term financial planning efforts, such as the Capital Improvement Program.Prior to the development of each 15-year financial plan Valley Water will conduct outreach to engage the community and key stakeholders, including the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program’s independent monitoring committee (IMC)and Valley Water advisory committees, to help ensure that the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program’s priorities remain aligned with the priorities of the residents of Santa Clara County. L.After a period of no longer than fifteen (15) years, the Board of Directors shall evaluate the need for the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program, and make an affirmative determination of whether the special tax should be reduced or repealed, or is needed to build additional Projects to achieve related programmatic benefits in accordance with the priorities of the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program. Should the Board of Directors determine that no additional Projects are needed, the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program special tax will be SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAMAPPENDIX A: Draft ResolutionA-6 Draft Resolution APPENDIX A Providing for the Continuation and Levy of a Special Tax to Pay the Cost of the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program in the Combined Flood Control Zone of the Santa Clara Valley Water District Subject, Nevertheless, to Specified Limits and Conditions Resolution No. 20-XX RL14541 Page 6 of 8 reduced accordingly, to reflect a transition from funding new Projects to funding operation, maintenance and replacement of Projects that were constructed with Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program funds.This evaluation process shall include the Valley Water advisory committees and the Program’s IMC,which will be charged with making recommendations to the Board of Directors on the determination of whether the special tax should be reduced, repealed, or maintained.Following the first fifteen-year determination of continued need for the special tax, the determination shall be made every fifteen (15) years thereafter. M.As projects under the Program are completed, the Board of Directors shall identify and prioritize new projects for inclusion in the Program. These new projects may be identified and proposed for Board approval at a public meeting through the Board’s review and approval of the Program’s five-year implementation plans, the first of which will be produced by the CEO or designee of Valley Water in year one of the Program and every five years thereafter; or, as directed by the Board. N.The Board of Directors may direct that proposed projects in the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program be modified or not implemented depending upon a number of factors, including federal and state funding limitations and the analysis and results of CEQA environmental review and permitting by state and federal regulatory agencies. The Board of Directors must hold a formal, public hearing on the matter, which will be noticed by publication and notification to interested parties, before adoption of any such decision to modify or not implement a project. O.The Chief Financial Officer or designee of Valley Water shall file a fiscal year report with the Board of Directors no later than January 1 of each year for the prior fiscal year. The annual report shall contain both of the following: (a) the amount of funds collected and expended; and (b)the status of any project required or authorized to be funded under this resolution. P.An IMC shall be appointed by the Valley Water Board of Directors to conduct an annual review of Valley Water’s fiscal year report and provide an annual report from the IMC to the Board of Directors regarding implementation of the intended results of the Program. The IMC shall also review each proposed five-year implementation plan prior to its submittal for Board approval. Through review of both the annual reports and five-year implementation plans, the IMC may make recommendations to the Valley Water Board of Directors regarding reasonably necessary measures to meet the priorities of the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program.Every fifteen years, the IMC will review, and recommend to the Board and general public,whether the special tax should be reduced or repealed, or is needed to build additional Projects to achieve related programmatic benefits in accordance with the priorities of the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program as described in Paragraph L of this resolution. Q.While the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program is in effect, the Board of Directors shall conduct independent professional audits of the Program to provide for accountability and transparency at least every five years.

Natural flood protection A multiple-objective approach to providing environmental quality, community benefit and protection from creek flooding in a cost-effective manner through integrated planning and management that considers the physical, hydrologic and ecologic functions and processes of streams within the community setting. Oxygenation treatment systems Treatment systems that help increase the relative oxygen levels in a body of water. Pay-as-you-go A funding mechanism which collects revenue until sufficient funds are available to begin construction of a project, in contrast to debt financing, in which a large sum is borrowed so that construction can begin sooner. Permitting requirements A mechanism used to enforce state and federal laws that protect environmentally sensitive areas. Before moving forward on projects, Valley Water is required to obtain permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, NOAA Fisheries, Regional Water Quality Control Board and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Each permit gives the permitting agency an opportunity to attach specific measures to the project to reduce impact on the environment. Preservation Action taken to protect an ecosystem or habitat area by removing a threat to that ecosystem or habitat, including regulatory actions and the purchase of land and easements. Reach (creek) A portion of a creek or watercourse usually defined by both an upstream and a downstream unit. SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM APPENDIX C: Glossary C-5 Glossary APPENDIX C Groundwater Recharge The addition of new water to an aquifer or to the zone of saturation. See groundwater. Respond For hazardous materials response (project B3) “Responded to” means that responder arrives at site within two (2) hours. For litter and graffiti removal (project F6) “Responded to” means that a request for Valley Water action is acknowledged either verbally, in writing, or by email within five (5) working days. Restoration/restore Action taken by Valley Water, to the extent practicable, toward the re-establishment as closely as possible of an ecosystem’s pre-disturbance structure, function, and value, where it has been degraded, damaged, or otherwise destroyed. Revegetate To re-establish vegetation in areas which have been disturbed by project construction. Revitalize Improve habitat value, particularly in an effort to connect contiguous creek reaches of higher value, by removing invasive, non-native vegetation and diseased and/or non-thriving specimens, applying mulch to suppress weed competition, revegetating sites with native plants, and installing predation prevention measures such as browse protection or cautionary fencing to reduce impacts from animals and vandals. Riparian Pertaining to the banks and adjacent terrestrial habitat of streams, creeks or other freshwater bodies and watercourses. Riparian corridor The riverside or riverine environment next to a stream channel. Riparian ecosystem A natural association of soil, plants and animals existing within the floodplain of a stream and dependent for their survival on high water tables and river flow. Sediment/sedimentation Mineral or organic material that is deposited by moving water and settles at the bottom of a waterway. Sediment in a lake, reservoir or stream can either be suspended in the water column or deposited on the bottom. Sediment usually consists of eroded material from the watershed, precipitated minerals and the remains of aquatic organisms. SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAMAPPENDIX C: GlossaryC-6 Glossary APPENDIX C Special status species Any species that is listed or proposed for listing as threatened or endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or National Marine Fisheries Service under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act; any species designated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a “listed,” “candidate,” “sensitive,” or “species of concern,” and any species which is listed by the State of California in a category implying potential danger of extinction. Special tax Any tax imposed for specific purposes or any tax imposed by a special purpose district or agency, such as the Santa Clara Valley Water District. A special district contemplating a special tax levy must hold a noticed public hearing and adopt an ordinance or resolution prior to placing the tax on the ballot. The ordinance or resolution must specify the purpose of the tax, the rate at which it will be imposed, the method of collection and the date of the election to approve the tax levy. Approval by a 2/3 vote of the city, county or district electorate is necessary for adoption. State Water Resources Control Board The State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) was created by the Legislature in 1967. The mission of the State Water Board is to ensure the highest reasonable quality for waters of the State, while allocating those waters to achieve the optimum balance of beneficial uses. There are 9 regional water quality control boards that exercise rulemaking and regulatory activities by basin. Santa Clara County is part of 2 regions: Region 2 - San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board (north of Morgan Hill) and Region 3 - Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (south of Morgan Hill). Subvention Subventions are reimbursements for rights-of-way and relocation costs of channel improvements and levee projects provided to flood control agencies by the Department of Water Resources Flood Subventions Program. Environmental Stewardship To entrust the careful and responsible management of the environment and natural resources to one’s care for the benefit of the greater community. Stream Maintenance Program (SMP) Ensures flood protection projects continue to function as designed to protect homes and businesses along Valley Water streams. SMP work includes removal of sediment, management of vegetation, clearing of trash and debris, stabilization of eroded riverbanks over portions of 278 miles of creeks in Santa Clara County. Threatened species A species which is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range. SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM APPENDIX C: Glossary C-7 Glossary APPENDIX C Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) The maximum pollutant load a waterbody can receive (loading capacity) without violating water quality standards. Urban runoff The water that runs over the impervious areas in cities, collecting pollutants as it flows. Runoff is recognized as a major source of water impairment. Valley Water 1% Flood Risk Zone Per Valley Water modeling, this is the area representing parcels that have a 1% chance of experiencing flooding, including less than 1 foot, in any given year. Watershed Land area from which water drains into a major body of water. Watershed stewardship Protecting and enhancing the county’s creeks, streams and water bodies to preserve a vibrant, healthy ecosystem and provide recreational opportunities when appropriate. Wetland Areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support vegetation adapted for life in saturated soil conditions, as well as the diverse wildlife species that depend on this habitat. THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM APPENDIX D: Special Tax Rate Structure D-1 Special Tax Rate Structure APPENDIX D How the special tax is calculated The rate structure for calculating the proposed special tax is identical to the Clean, Safe Creeks and Natural Flood Protection structure that it will replace. It is intended to be an equitable basis for the rate structure and is applied consistently throughout the county. Rates are based on the land use (which is directly related to an assigned storm water runoff factor or can be thought of as the estimated percent of hardscape area on a parcel) and size of each land parcel. The six land use categories, their estimated stormwater runoff factors, and the special tax calculation formula are described in detail below. The FY 2022 parcel tax rates by land use category may be escalated by the greater of CPI or 2% relative to the FY 2021 rates shown in Figure 1 on page A.15. Land use categories and estimated stormwater runoff factors The following six land use categories and estimated stormwater runoff factors will be used to determine the proposed special tax: CATEGORY A: COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PARCELS 1. Land used for industrial and commercial purposes. This land use is assigned an estimated stormwater runoff factor of 0.8. 2. The minimum tax for this category is applied to parcels of 1/4 acre or less. CATEGORY B: HIGH-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL PARCELS, SCHOOLS, CHURCHES, AND INSTITUTIONS 1. Land used for apartment complexes, mobile home parks, condominiums, townhouses, or institutional purposes such as schools and churches. This land use is assigned an estimated stormwater runoff factor of 0.6. 2. With the exception of condominiums and townhouses, the minimum tax for this category is applied to parcels of 1/4 acre or less. 3. For condominiums and townhouses, an average lot size of 0.08 acre for each condominium or townhouse will be used to calculate the annual special tax rate. CATEGORY C: SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES AND MULTIPLE-FAMILY UNITS UP TO 4 UNITS 1. Land used for single-family residences and multiple-family units up to four units. This land use is assigned an estimated storm water runoff factor of 0.4. 2. The minimum tax for this category is applied to parcels of 1/4 acre or less. Incremental residential land in excess of 1/4 acre is assessed at the Category D rate. CATEGORY D: AGRICULTURAL PARCELS 1. Disturbed agricultural land, including irrigated land, orchards, dairies, field crops, golf courses, and similar uses. This land use is assigned an estimated stormwater runoff factor of 0.005. 2. The minimum tax for this category is applied to parcels of 10 acres or less. 3. The per acre rate for this category shall be used for any portion of land in Category C that is in excess of 1/4 acre of a parcel used for single-family residential purposes. CATEGORY E: NON-UTILIZED AGRICULTURAL PARCELS 1. Urban: Non-utilized agricultural lands, grazing land, salt ponds, undisturbed vacant lands, and parcels used exclusively as well sites for commercial purposes that are located in urban areas. SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAMAPPENDIX D: Special Tax Rate StructureD-2 Special Tax Rate Structure APPENDIX D 2. Rural: Non-utilized agricultural land, grazing land, undisturbed vacant land, and parcels used exclusively as well sites for commercial purposes that are located in rural areas. 3. This land use is assigned an estimated storm water runoff factor of 0.0015. The minimum tax for this category is applied to parcels of 10 acres or less. The minimum tax is the same for E-Urban and E-Rural categories. However, for the E-Rural category, incremental lands in excess of 10 acres will be assessed at 1/8 the E-Urban rate. The 1/8 factor was used because most rangelands in rural areas are either under the Williamson Act contracts, which limit their development potential, or they are located upstream of a District reservoir and impose less potential for flooding downstream. Additionally, the County Assessor’s Office had advised that taxes on rangelands are on the average 1/8 of what they would be without Williamson Act provisions. CATEGORY F: WELL PARCELS FOR RESIDENTIAL USES Parcels used exclusively as well sites for residential uses are exempt from the special tax. Land use codes assigned to parcels by the County Assessor’s Office will be grouped into the above six land use categories for determining the annual special tax for each parcel. Special tax calculation formula The special tax for each land use category will continue at the annually adjusted rate as established under the Clean, Safe Creeks and Natural Flood Protection measure, using the ratio of the runoff factor of each land use category to the runoff factor of Category C. EXAMPLE CALCULATION If the minimum special tax (for parcels less than 1/4 acre) was set at $67.67/year for Category C, Single-Family Residences, the special tax (for a one-acre parcel) in Category A, Commercial and Industrial Parcels, can be calculated using the stormwater runoff factors for Category C, Residential, and Category A, Commercial/Industrial, as follows: $67.67 /year per 1/4 acre x (0.8 / 0.4) = $541.36 /year per acre APPENDIX E: Safe, Clean Water Program: Project Summary with KPIs and Costs E-1SAFE, CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM Safe, Clean Water Program: Project Summary with KPIs and Costs APPENDIX E Project Project Description Key Performance Indicator Estimated Total Project Cost Estimated Funding from Safe, Clean Water (First 15 years of Program) Estimated Percent Funding from Safe, Clean Water Priority A: Ensure a Safe, Reliable Water Supply A1 Pacheco Reservoir Expansion Increase the operational capacity of Pacheco Reservoir from 5,500 acre-feet to up to 140,000 acre-feet to reduce the frequency and severity of water shortages during droughts, protect our drinking water supply and infrastructure, and improve habitat for fish. 1.

Executive Summary Staff continues to purchase electricity and gas in compliance with the City’s Energy Risk Management Policies, Guidelines, and Procedures. This report is based on market prices and load and supply data as of December 31, 2019, the end of the first half of Fiscal Year (FY) 2020. The projected cost of the City’s fixed-price electricity purchases is $0.83 million lower than the market value of that electricity as of December 31, 2019 for the 12-month period beginning January 1, 2020. In the first half of FY 2020 (July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019) the City’s credit exposure to fixed price contracts is minimal. The projected Electric Supply Operations Reserve is above the FY 2020 minimum guideline reserve level and the projected gas reserve is also above the FY 2020 guideline reserve level range. There were no exceptions to the Energy Risk Management Policies, Guidelines, or Procedures during the first half of FY 2020. City of Palo Alto Page 2 Background The purpose of this report is to inform the Council about the status of the City’s energy portfolio and transactions executed with energy suppliers as of the end of the first half of FY 2020. The City’s Energy Risk Management Policy requires that staff report on a quarterly basis but due to lower trading activity levels the Utility Risk Oversight Coordinating Committee (UROCC) has approved providing this report on a semi-annual basis to Council on: 1) the City’s energy portfolio; 2) the City’s credit and market risk profile; 3) portfolio performance; and 4) other key market and risk information. The City’s Energy Risk Management Policy describes the management organization, authority, and processes to monitor, measure, and control market risks. “Market risks” include price and counterparty credit risk. These are risks that the City is exposed to on a regular basis in procuring electric supplies, and to a lesser extent for gas supplies which are purchased at market rates via a monthly index price. The energy risk management section is located in the Treasury Division of the Administrative Services Department. Its role is to monitor and mitigate these risks. This first half of FY 2020 energy risk management report contains information on the following: • Electric Supplies • Hydroelectricity • Fixed-Price Forward Electricity Purchases • Gas Supplies • Credit Risk • Electric Forward Mark-to-Market Values • Electric and Gas Supply Operations Reserves Adequacy • Exceptions to Energy Risk Management Policies, Guidelines, or Procedures Discussion Electric Supplies In order to serve the City’s electric supply demands, the City obtains electricity from: hydroelectric resources (from Western and Calaveras Hydroelectric Projects); long-term renewable energy contracts (from landfill gas converted to electricity, wind, and solar projects); wholesale purchases which are carried out via fixed-priced forward market purchase contracts; and the electric spot market. Figure 1 below illustrates the projected sources and expected purchases of electricity supplies by month for the 36 months from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022, in megawatt-hours (MWh). The negative bars represent sales of excess power on the wholesale market. City of Palo Alto Page 3 Hydroelectricity The cost of hydroelectricity received from Western over the 12-month period ending December 31, 2019 is lower than the market value of electricity by $0.5 million. Hydroelectric power from Calaveras was expected to cost $9.1 million (as of December 31, 2019) more than the market value of electricity. Note that Calaveras provides benefits not reflected in the mark- to-market (MTM) calculation, including, for example, ancillary services (e.g., the ability to regulate energy output when the electric grid needs change), and that much of the above- market costs are related to debt service on the cost of constructing the dam. The MTM is defined in the following section. This debt is due to be retired in 2032, and retirement will substantially improve the value of the project relative to the market price of electricity. City of Palo Alto Page 4 Fixed-Price Forward Electricity Purchases The City, as of December 31, 2019, has purchased and sold fixed-priced supplies of electricity for the next 12 months totaling 63,873 MWh with an average price of $39.05 per MWh and totaling 181,200 with an average price of $37.36, respectively. The City contracted for these purchases with four of its approved counterparties: SENA (Shell Energy North America), Exelon, BP, and NextEra Energy Resources. The 12-month MTM value of the City’s forward transactions for wholesale power was $0.83 million at the end of the first half of FY 2020. In other words, the purchase cost (contract price) for these transactions was lower than the market value as of December 31, 2019. The City tracks the mark to market value of its forward contracts to measure the value that would be lost due to a counterparty failing to deliver on its contractual commitments, forcing the City to purchase replacement electricity in the market. The exposure listed above is well within risk management guidelines and presents little risk to the City’s financial outlook. The figures below represent the electric forward volumes (Figure 2) and MTM positions (Figure 3) for each electric supplier by month of delivery for all forward fixed-price electricity contracts over the 12-month period ending December 30, 2020. -60,000 -50,000 -40,000 -30,000 -20,000 -10,000 0 10,000 20,000 30,000 40,000 01 / 3 1 / 2 0 02 / 2 9 / 2 0 03 / 3 1 / 2 0 04 / 3 0 / 2 0 05 / 3 1 / 2 0 06 / 3 0 / 2 0 07 / 3 1 / 2 0 08 / 3 1 / 2 0 09 / 3 0 / 2 0 10 / 3 1 / 2 0 11 / 3 0 / 2 0 12 / 3 1 / 2 0 Me g a w a t t H o u r s Figure 2 -Electric Forward Volumes as of 12/31/19 BP SENA Exelon NextEra Energy Resources City of Palo Alto Page 5 (2,000,000) (1,500,000) (1,000,000) (500,000) - 500,000 1,000,000 1,500,000 Ja n - 2 0 Fe b - 2 0 Ma r - 2 0 Ap r - 2 0 Ma y - 2 0 Ju n - 2 0 Ju l - 2 0 Au g - 2 0 Se p - 2 0 Oc t - 2 0 No v - 2 0 De c - 2 0 MT M D o l l a r A m o u n t Figure 3 -Electric Mark-to-Market Values as of 12/31/2019 BP SENA Exelon NextEra Energy Resources Gas Supplies In order to serve the City’s natural gas needs, the City purchases gas on the monthly and daily spot markets. The City purchases all of its forecasted gas needs for the month ahead at a price based on the published monthly spot market index price for that month. Within the month, the City’s gas operator buys and sells gas to match the City’s daily needs if the actual daily usage is different from the forecasted daily usage. Those daily transactions are made at an average price based on the published daily spot market index. These costs are passed through directly to customers using a monthly rate adjustment mechanism, leaving the City with little or no price risk or counterparty risk exposure for the gas utility. City of Palo Alto Page 6 Credit Risk Staff monitors and reports on counterparty credit risk based on the major credit rating agencies (S&P and Moody’s) scores, Ameresco has a 0.25 percent Expected Default Frequency (EDF) which is higher than the recommended EDF level. The EDF has improved, the prior year it was 0.43 percent and, as of writing of this report, (August 7, 2020), the EDF is 0.22 percent. Staff is continuing to monitor Ameresco’s EDF and will continue to report to City Council in this semi- annual report. Table 1 below shows the EDF values for the City’s renewable energy counterparties. Table 2 below shows the EDF values and credit exposure for the City’s electric suppliers. There is virtually no credit exposure to the City’s gas suppliers since the supplies are purchased on a short-term basis.

This is because the City does not pay for renewable energy until it is received, thereby reducing risk. An EDF of 0.08% or below indicate supplier’s current expected default frequency falls within the investment grade range. An EDF above 0.08% indicates the supplier may have financial issues that require monitoring.

City of Palo Alto (ID # 11504) City Council Staff Report Report Type: Informational Report Meeting Date: 9/14/2020 City of Palo Alto Page 1 Summary Title: Sales Tax Digest Summary 2020 Q1 (Calendar) Title: City of Palo Alto Sales Tax Digest Summary for the First (Calendar) Quarter of 2020 (January - March 2020) From: City Manager Lead Department: Administrative Services Information The City received $5.7 million for the first quarter (calendar year, January to March 2020) sales which is $2.0 million (26.6 percent) lower than the same quarter in calendar year 2019. The following files, compiled by the City’s sales tax consultant, MuniServices/Avenu, are attached for this informational report for which no action is required. COVID-19 Public Health Emergency During this period, the world began grappling with COVID-19, a global pandemic. The financial implications of this public health emergency are significant, with regional, national and global impacts on economies in response to shelter in place orders required by the State of California and the County of Santa Clara and related social distancing restrictions. On March 12, 2020 the City Manager, acting as the Director of Emergency Services, issued a Proclamation of Local Emergency regarding the presence and community spread of COVID-19 in Santa Clara County and our region. On Sunday, March 15, 2020, the City Manager activated the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). On March 16, 2020, the City Council ratified the Proclamation of Local Emergency, which continues in effect. In addition, on March 16, 2020, the County of Santa Clara implemented a Shelter-in-Place order that remain in effect to a certain degree today. This quarter of information includes the brief period impacted by these significant and immediate changes in consumer behavior, immediately impacting sales tax revenues. Moreover, these orders were also the catalyst for legislative actions attempting to provide relief to citizens and businesses during this unprecedented time. As noted in the report from the City’s consultant (page 1 of Attachment C), some payment of sales tax revenue to Palo Alto is deferred for 90 days or until next fiscal year. It is expected that receipts throughout calendar year 2020 will be impacted not only by the economic impacts associated with the pandemic but also the legislative impacts, namely the legislative relief.

The period’s cash receipts include tax from business activity during the period, payments for prior periods and other cash adjustments. When we adjust for non- period related payments, we determine the overall business activity decreased for the year ended 1st Quarter 2020 by -6.0% statewide, -6.6% in Southern California and -5.1% in Northern California. City of Palo Alto For the year ended 1st Quarter 2020, sales tax cash receipts for the City were -6.7% from the prior year. On a quarterly basis, sales tax revenues were -26.6% from 1st Quarter 2019 to 1st Quarter 2020. The period’s cash receipts include tax from business activity during the period, payments for prior periods and other cash adjustments. Note: It is important to recognize that the state offered small businesses a 90 day extension to pay their 1st Quarter 2020 taxes (to alleviate some of the short-term economic difficulties of the pandemic), and many businesses had partial or no payment for the 1st Quarter. Thus, the 26.6% decrease for the quarter includes decreases related to the state 90-day extension program and actual 1st Quarter economic activity did not decline to this extent. As a result of the extension program, many payments for 1st quarter economic activity will be paid in the 2nd Quarter.

For many of our clients, Sales and Use Tax is a primary revenue source and one that currently is in a state of flux. The pandemic has caused reduced economic activity, business closures, and uncertainty about the future. The recent Sales Tax Executive Order from Governor Newsom also impacted sales tax cash flows. This communication is intended to explain the lower than normal first quarter 2020 allocations to local governments resulting from the pandemic and the Governor’s Executive Order. Sales and Use Tax Liabilities Deferred by CDTFA Extension Program: On April 2, 2020, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-40-20 that allowed businesses with under $1M in tax liability to delay their first quarter sales and use tax filings for 90 days. This action means that first quarter filings for these businesses, normally required by the end of April, could be delayed until the end of July. Deferral Program: Another state program allows small businesses ($5M or less in taxable sales) to defer up to $50,000 of their sales and use tax liabilities until next fiscal year. For those who request the deferral, the owed amount would be payable in twelve equal installments over the following year and would not be subject to interest or penalties as long as these payments are made. The payments will start in August 2020 and they will not extend beyond July 31, 2021. The Avenu team continues to have ongoing discussions and communication with the CDTFA in order to better understand and report back to our clients on the status and impacts of Q1 Extensions/ non-filings, Q1 & Q2 sales tax deferrals, late payments and other sales tax issues. According to the CDTFA, the impact of the first quarter 2020 sales and use tax return and payment extensions are as follows: ▪First quarter allocations to local jurisdictions are down approximately 13% compared to the first quarter 2019. A portion of the decrease was reduced economic activity and a portion was due to the Extension/non-filers. ▪CDTFA stated that they believe most of the decrease will be recovered when businesses that elected to take the three-month extension file and pay those returns that are due by July 31, 2020. These revenues will be paid to local governments in August and most will accrue them to FY 19/20. ▪The CDTFA estimates that 178,288 tax payers who have a tax obligation of under $1M have $844M in taxes still outstanding. ▪85 taxpayers who have tax obligations of over $1 have $81M still outstanding as well. •The liabilities allowed under the Executive Order that can be included are tax liabilities from the first and second quarters of 2020 and include monthly and fiscal year filers. •It is important to note that all taxes remain due eventually: they are not waived. Attachment C 1264 Hawks Flight Court #270, El Dorado Hills CA 95762 | 559-288-7296 | www.avenuinsights.com Early June 2020 The delay in payment of taxes results in a timing issue of when tax revenues will be received by local jurisdictions. The Extension program will delay some payments to August and the Deferral program will delay some payments to FY 20/21. Applications for the Deferral payment plan will be available in July 2020. To date CDTFA has stated that they have received inquiries from approximately 6,800 businesses or their representatives interested in the Deferral program. We are in contact with CDTFA and we will provide further updates as more information becomes available. Other Brief Updates Proposition 172 : PSAF Revenue: Although the decline in taxable sales May 2020 over May 2019 (March sales) averages 21.9% statewide, the range among counties is significant: -17.1% to -41%. The 21.9% tracks with our current forecast. However, at the end of June, the June (April Taxable Sales) Prop 172 payments will provide a better indicator of the assumptions on the recession rates we used for each of our clients. Unemployment Recent estimates of U.S. unemployment came in lower than expected at 13.3%. The Bureau of Labor Statistics acknowledged that there are errors in the 13.3% number and that it is likely higher. California’s unemployment rates are published monthly, after state analysts have had a chance to closely review all available data. The most recent estimate, published last week, showed a California unemployment rate of 15.5%, with more than 5.1 million Californians out of work. In addition, the actual number of unemployed is assumed to be much higher due to: recent data issues with the unemployment survey, those workers that choose not to register for unemployment, and undocumented workers not counted in the survey. The ‘real’ unemployment rate is likely much higher than the typical figure used. We are keeping a close eye on this. Consumer Spending Historically, unemployment rates are highly correlated with consumer confidence and consumer spending, which ultimately impact sales tax revenue. It is difficult to predict consumer spending at this time given the uncertainties with employment, the nature of the recovery, and the re-opening of businesses. Again, we will be tracking consumer spending and consumer behavior closely to analyze new trends. Conclusion We hope that this brief update keeps you informed and up to date. Please do not hesitate to contact your Client Services Representative at any time - we are here to help you through these difficult times.

Under the COVID caused economic downturn, the unemployment rate is especially important for local taxes because it indicates the speed at which local business is recovering…or not. While unemployment is not necessarily a clear indicator of sales tax activity, it does correlate to consumer confidence which drives consumption and ultimately sales tax. Unemployment rates also impact other taxes such as transient occupancy tax (TOT). The [published] California Unemployment Rate measures the total number of employees in California that are a part of the labor force but are without a job, and is generally tied to current levels and applying unemployment assistance cases. As published by state and federal agencies, the California Unemployment Rate through May 2020 is at 16.30%, compared to 16.40% from last period and 4.10% last year. This is higher than the long-term average of 7.22%. However, the real unemployment rate (U-6) is a broader definition of unemployment than the official unemployment rate (U-3). In June 2020, it was 18%. It is down from the 22.8% rate in April. That is almost as bad as the 25% rate during the Great Depression. Please feel free to discuss the U-6 numbers for your jurisdiction with your Avenu Representative. Understanding Unemployment Statistics Historically, the unemployment rate in California reached as high as 12.40% in 2010, while the United States reached 9.50% in that time frame. https://ycharts.com •While the state’s unemployment rate of 16.31 percent is slightly lower than the record high set in April 2020, it is still far higher than the 12.3 percent level during the height of the Great Recession (March, October, and November 2010).•April’s revised loss of 2.4 million jobs in California since March, is the biggest month-over month job loss in state history, far eclipsing the Great Recession’s then record-setting, month-over loss of 132,800 jobs between December 2008 and January 2009. •Nine of California’s 11 industry sectors gained jobs in May. Construction posted the largest job gain (+75,000) thanks to strength in specialty trade contractors and ongoing construction projects. Leisure and hospitality (+64,800) had the second largest job gain due to growth in accommodation and food services. Government (-95,800) had the largest drop with state and local government jobs both experiencing large decreases over the month. While these numbers are staggering enough, it is important to understand that they must be looked at locally to fully understand the long-term impact on a city’s business recovery. The real unemployment rate is always higher. According to the balance, the real unemployment rate (U-6) is a broader definition of unemployment than the official unemployment rate (U-3). In June 2020, it was 18%. It is down from the 22.8% rate in April. That is almost as bad as the 25% rate during the Great Depression. California COVID-19 Update 1264 Hawks Flight Court #270, El Dorado Hills CA 95762 | 559-288-7296 | www.avenuinsights.com The U-3 is the rate most often reported in the media. In the U-3 rate, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) only counts people without jobs who are in the labor force. To remain in the labor force, they must have looked for a job in the last four weeks. The U-6, or real unemployment rate, includes the underemployed, the marginally attached, and discouraged workers. For that reason, it is roughly double the U-3 report. The BLS reports other, broader definitions of underemployment. Here are the designations: •U-1: Persons unemployed 15 weeks or longer, as a percent of the civilian labor force. •U-2: Job losers and persons who completed temporary jobs, as a percent of the civilian labor force. •U-3. Total unemployed, as a percentage of the civilian labor force. The current official unemployment rate may confirm current economic trends. •U-4. Total unemployed plus discouraged workers, as a percentage of the civilian labor force plus discouraged workers. •U-5. Total unemployed, plus discouraged workers, plus all other persons marginally attached to the labor force, as a percentage of the civilian labor force plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force. •U-6. Total unemployed, plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force, plus total employed part-time for economic reasons, as a percentage of the civilian labor force plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force. The current real unemployment rate is about double the official unemployment rate, designated as U-3. 1264 Hawks Flight Court #270, El Dorado Hills CA 95762 | 559-288-7296 | www.avenuinsights.com Other Economic/Financial Impacts We are still in the early days of the COVID economic downturn. The most current detailed sales tax data available to us from the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) we have is for January to March 2020, so it is very preliminary and only includes a few weeks of COVID impact. It also includes some data irregularities due to the state extension and deferral programs, put in place under the Governor’s Executive Order N-40-20, which cloud the overall economic picture a bit. Since we already know that Q2 2020 (April to June) will be very bad fiscally for most jurisdictions due to the stay at home order and the associated business closings, we think the first initial sign of how things might proceed for the economy and how FY 20/21 (and future years) might look will be better understood when we receive 3rd quarter 2020 detailed sales tax information. We will continue to monitor everything closely, but the recession will play out over time as conditions change and settle. We do not think there will be a definitive event/data point for at least another five to six months when Q3 data is available. The Q3 sales tax data will be a ‘first look’ at how the longer term recession is starting to unfold and it too will likely twist and turn over time. It will be some time before full impacts are known on other kinds of local revenue, but as local budgets are finalized, several trends are clear. Communities with significant Transient Occupancy Tax revenue (TOT) have been severely impacted. Napa County hotel revenue dropped 95.5 percent year-over-year; Palm Springs staff estimated 75% - 85% losses in the Spring months. Hotels around California are asking their elected officials and city/county government officials for at least a 90-day deferral of TOT payments. Los Angeles, Anaheim, West Hollywood, Vacaville, and Woodland have taken various actions to provide relief from TOT payments with many other cities/counties considering this action. Stay-at-home orders and increased telecommuting should increase residential utility use, and therefore generate some local Utility Users tax (UUT) revenue, but that may be offset by businesses shutting down and the commiserate drop in commercial usage. Reduced economic activity will also cause declines in income from fines and fees (e.g. new businesses opening, new licenses, construction permits, building inspection, etc.). This also affects revenues tied to transportation—parking tickets, bridge tolls, gas taxes, transit fares. Key Summary Points •To identify the real unemployment rate in your area, double the formal rate (U-3) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (i.e., look closely at the U-6 rate.). •Unemployment is a key indicator of business recovery under COVID and should be looked at in parallel with other more standard financial indicators such as performance of a jurisdiction’s primary tax revenue. •When making budget assumptions and making resulting projections under COVID, it is critical to base your assumptions as much as possible on local data; and to check and revise your projections much more frequently as COVID conditions change in your area. 1264 Hawks Flight Court #270, El Dorado Hills CA 95762 | 559-288-7296 | www.avenuinsights.com On May 6 Governor Newsom issued an executive order that suspends until May 2021 the ability of county assessors to levy late fees for property tax payments. As laid out by the Labor Center at UC Berkeley, a reduction in the number of property transactions will drive a drop in property transfer taxes, at least temporarily. A lengthy recession (which most local governments are treating as a worst-case scenario) could reduce property values, particularly in the commercial rental market, which we are already seeing. This could spark downward assessments and reductions in sales prices. During this time of uncertainty, it is essential for local government to assess all possible avenues to stabilize revenue. Given the different impacts of COVID on local governments and their local economy, the inconsistent timing of COVID spikes, and the varying local responses to the national conversation on racial equity and racial justice, even adjacent communities may be suffering different impacts or degrees of impact. Therefore, financial assumptions, recovery projections, and response plans must be based as much as possible on local data and local analysis. Avenu is keenly aware of this and is committed to assisting each of our clients with that local analysis in a responsive and responsible manner. State Money – Last week, the Governor signed into law a State Budget that holds out hope for another round of federal stimulus funds but also provides funds for homelessness and for COVID-19 response, including $500 million in CARES Act dollars for cities. While the new budget is balanced, the impact of the pandemic and the delayed tax deadline means that uncertain budget will need to be revisited in August once more is known about the State's total tax receipts and a possible July stimulus package from Congress. The California Budget and Policy Center offers their perspective on Governor Newsom’s 2020/2021 budget. Policy think tanks across the country are writing about the shortage of dollars in all states, how states are going into deep deficits despite their somewhat healthy reserves at the start of this fiscal year, and that cities should not be looking to states to send them bailout money. Local Ballot Measures -- Many jurisdictions struggling with reduced revenue flow, diminishing reserves, and increased costs are looking to the November ballot for relief. A significant number of cities are considering tax measures for November including Sales Tax, UUT, TOT and others. There is little agreement among pollsters and other pundits as to a 'general mood' for tax increases and whether such ballot measures have a reasonable chance of success or not. Voter sentiment is likely to change as economic and pandemic conditions change and a lot will depend on local conditions which makes it difficult to predict voter perspectives across the state. Other COVID Resources – There are many resources available for cities regarding the constantly moving target of COVID and recovery. The League of California Cities, through their publication “CA Cities Advocate”, has a depth of information and also issues many other communications weekly as needed. The California Department of Public Health has a myriad of up-to-date information on their web site. Stateside has a quality up-to-date report on a timely basis showing relevant actions and impacts across the states. In summary, we leave you with a quote that sums up our perspective on this challenging time and the corona virus: “Don’t expect the current health and economic challenges to end with a touchdown pass. It’s more likely to be three yards and a cloud of dust.” Alan Murray, Editor of Fortune Magazine. City of Palo Alto (ID # 11586) City Council Staff Report Report Type: Informational Report Meeting Date: 9/14/2020 City of Palo Alto Page 1 Summary Title: Informational Report regarding Race and Equity Data Title: Informational Report Regarding Race and Equity Data Transmitted to the City Council Ad Hoc Committees From: City Manager Lead Department: City Manager Recommendation This is an informational report and no City Council action is required. This report includes information that has been transmitted to the City Council to assist with their work on race and equity through their ad hoc committee assignments. The ad hoc committees have met multiple times since they were created in late June 2020. Background As part of the City’s ongoing work to address race and equity in Palo Alto, Mayor Adrian Fine announced four ad hoc committees focused on different aspects of race and equity on June 23, 2020. These committees included the Police Policy Manual, Data, and Hiring ad hoc; the Alternative Public Safety Models ad hoc; the Police Accountability and Transparency ad hoc; and the Citywide Diversity and Inclusion ad hoc. These ad hocs were the continuation of direction previously provided by the City Council on June 15, 2020, which discussed ad hocs and provided additional direction to the Public Arts Commission as well as the Human Relations Commission. More information on these ad hocs, including the Councilmembers on each committee and the purpose of each ad hoc can be found on the following page: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/raceandequity/council_ad_hoc_committees.asp. Discussion Each ad hoc committee convened through the summer and met with staff to discuss the elements of their work. As a next step, the full City Council convened on August 24, 2020 to discuss reports from each ad hoc and consider next steps. For the staff report from this City Council item, go here: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?t=59847.7&BlobID=780 78. For the Ad Hoc committee presentations, go here: CITY OF PALO ALTO City of Palo Alto Page 2 https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?t=67338.76&BlobID=78 129. Staff also shared an At Places Memorandum which highlighted completed and in progress community engagement efforts underway as part of the City’s continued conversations on race and equity. That report can be found here: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?t=70773.14&BlobID=78 135. This informational memorandum presents information that was transmitted to the City Council as a result of the initial staff meetings and work with the various ad hocs. It is transmitted here to inform and educate the broader community on these various topics and elements of the ad hoc work underway. Race and Equity Data Transmittal #3 can be found online here: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?t=51654.01&BlobID=78 257. It details information requested by the ad hoc committees related to calls for service statistics over the past two full calendar years as well as a report on uses of force in the past five years. For context, here are links to the previous two transmittals to the City Council: - Race and Equity Data Transmittal #1 can be found online here: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?t=44493.56&Blob ID=77997. It details information that had been requested by the ad hoc committees. The information is grouped by the ad hoc committee where it best corresponds. However, it should be noted that many of the items cross-over among different ad hoc committees. Items that are still forthcoming are noted as “Pending” on the list of materials. - Race and Equity Data Transmittal #2 can be found online here: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?t=44493.56&Blob ID=77998. It includes two flowcharts; the first flowchart details the process for reviewing use of force incidents and the second flowchart details the internal affairs/citizen complaint review process. These files, as well as the continuing work that staff and these ad hocs develop, are linked on the Race and Equity webpage for transparency, easy reference, and progress tracking. New items, such as meetings, study sessions, and discussions, will also continue to be referenced online for continued stakeholder and community engagement as the City furthers its race and equity conversations. Stakeholder Engagement Presenting this information to the public, parallel to its transmittal to the City Council, ensures that stakeholders throughout the community remain apprised of the City’s ongoing work on race and equity.
