Summary Title: Cypress Guard Services Contract Extension
Title: Approval of Contract Amendment Number 4 With Cypress Security, Inc.
Increasing the Amount by $330,000 for a Total Not -to-Exceed Amount of
$3,662,216, and Extend the Term of the Agreement to Se ptember 30, 2018
for Guard Monitoring Services at Palo Alto Caltrain Locations
From: City Manager
Lead Department: Police
Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council:
1) Approve contract amendment No. 4 with Cypress Security, Inc. by $3 30,000 for a total
not-to-exceed amount of $3,662,216, and extend the term of the agreement to
September 30, 2018 for guard monitoring services at Palo Alto Caltrain locations .
Background
Since 2009, the City of Palo Alto has used contract security guard services as on-site monitors in
response to teen fatalities that have occurred along the Caltrain corridor in Palo Alto. This
program is commonly referred to as Track Watch.
On June 5, 2017, Council approved Contract C16160138A Amendment No. 3 to extend the term
of agreement with Cypress Security to June 30, 2018 by $1,240,000 for a Total Not -to-Exceed
Amount of $3,332,216 for Track Watch Guard Services for Caltrain Monitoring.
This contract extension is due to the complexities in the City’s on -going initiative to transition
from guards to a camera-based, Intrusion Detection and Monitoring System, which was
originally forecasted to be online in Spring 2018 (Contract #C17166714). There was always
discussion of some overlap between guards and cameras as the City implemented th is
technology to test and review the efficacy of the camera system.
Discussion
On a monthly basis, Staff meets with key stakeholders in the community, as well as Project
Safety Net, to discuss on-going means restriction strategies, awareness and prevention efforts,
collaboration amongst jurisdictions, and monitoring. This team has developed an on -going
City of Palo Alto Page 2
strategy to limit access and monitor rail corridors through Palo Alto. One key component of this
strategy is the implementation of a Camera-based Intrusion Detection System. Once
implemented, a successful Intrusion-Detection System will allow staff to move away from the
use of security guards.
Resource Impact
Staff anticipates that sufficient savings are available in the Police Department operating budget
to fund the extension of the Cypress Guard Services Contract. Savings will be realized from
operating and maintenance expenditures that will no longer be incurred during Fiscal Year 2018
as result of the revised timeline to fully implement camera -based systems and from lower than
anticipated usage of the current guard services contract. No additional funding is requested.
Policy Implications
This agreement is consistent with existing City and Police Department policies.
Environmental Review
This project is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Title
14 California Code of Regulations Section 15061(b)(3).

Summary Title: Contract Amendment C&S Engineers Inc.
Title: Approval of Amendment Number 5 With C&S Engineers, Inc. Contract
Number C15155208A in the Amount of $119,227 for Construction
Administration Services on the Airport Apron Reconstruction, Capital
Improvement Program Project AP-16000
From: City Manager
Lead Department: Public Works
Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council:
Approve Amendment No. Five to C & S Engineers, Inc. Contract C15155208A
(Attachment A) to increase the contract by $119,227 for a total not-to-exceed
amount of $1,847,012 for construction administration services related to the
Airport Apron Reconstruction project (AP-16000).
Background
As a General Aviation Reliever Airport for three primary Bay Area airports, Palo
Alto Airport (PAO) is an important airport in the National Plan of Integrated
Airport Systems (NPIAS), thereby qualifying for Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) airport improvement grant money for capital improvements necessary for
continued safe and efficient operation of an airport. If eligible, 90% of project
costs could be awarded. In accepting grant money, PAO is required by law to
meet grant assurances and operate the airport in compliance with FAA
requirements. The California Department of Transportation (DOT), pursuant to
Public Utilities Code Section 21683.1, is authorized to provide AIP matching grants
of up to five percent (5%) of FAA grant amounts. Staff will apply for and seek the
maximum amount of state matching grant funds if these funds are available from
DOT.
City of Palo Alto Page 2
The Airport Apron Reconstruction Project, recommended as an important safety-
related maintenance and modernization project in the results of an airport
infrastructure analysis, was designed to be constructed according to industry
standards, in as many as five phases dependent on financing and the logistics of
moving tie-downs and mobilization. Prior to initiating the first phase of
construction, a geotechnical analysis was conducted on the subgrade and the
material determined to be a very soft clay termed “bay mud.” The inconsistent
water table due to San Francisco Bay proximity has resulted in minimum subgrade
drainage and compaction that do not meet FAA load-bearing capacity
requirements.
To provide on-call design services, construction administration, environmental
studies, and planning functions required for FAA Airport Capital Improvement
Program projects, PAO contracts with consultants, including C & S Engineers, Inc.
On-call consultant services contracts that are compliant with FAA requirements
are eligible for 90% reimbursement.
Since October 2014, PAO has had a contract with C & S Engineers, Inc. for on-call
consulting services for various capital projects including the Airport Apron
Reconstruction Project. Previous staff reports regarding amendments the C & S
Engineers, Inc. contract are referenced below:
CMR 4948 (https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/44370)
CMR 6367 (https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/50107)

CMR 8127 (https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/61157)
Discussion
Due to the geotechnical findings, design and preparation of the subgrade has
changed from the industry standard for reconstructing pavement. The report
recommends 5-10% cement be added to a combination of materials, mixed with
existing subgrade and returned to the void, where it should set and cure quickly
to provide a stable working platform that meets FAA requirements and ensures
PAO has an apron that meets useful life standards.
City of Palo Alto Page 3
As required by the FAA, supplemental soil tests will need to be performed to
finalize design of the remaining phases of the Airport Apron Reconstruction
project (AP-16000). Bidding documents for the next phase(s) will be prepared by
C & S to reflect the subgrade preparation as required.
Resource Impact
The engineering firm was selected through a FAA procurement process having a
term of 5 years. Since the Airport Enterprise Fund was newly established, this
contract was increased when funding was identified. Work performed by C&S
under this contract amendment will be done in FY 2019, so approval is subject to
the City Council’s adoption of the FY 2019 Budget. Funding has been
recommended in the Airport Fund Capital Improvement Program Airport Apron
Reconstruction project AP-16000 in FY 2019 and is contingent on Council’s
approval of the FY 2019 Proposed Capital Budget. These costs are eligible for FAA
grant reimbursement of 90% which is equal to $107,304 and has also been
recommended as part of the 2019 Proposed Capital Budget .
City of Palo Alto Page 4
Environmental Review
The subject project has been assessed in accordance with the authority and
criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State
CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. Specifically, CIP
AP-16000 is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA per Section 15301
(Existing Facilities).
Policy Implications
This recommendation does not represent any change to existing City policies.

Summary Title: Adoption of an Updated Salary Schedule and Revised
Compensation
Title: Adoption of an Updated Salary Schedule and Revised Compensation
Plan for Unrepresented Limited Hourly Employees Effective July 1, 2017 -
June 30, 2021
From: City Manage r
Lead Department: Human Resources
Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council adopt an updated Salary Schedule and Compensation Plan for
unrepresented Limited hourly employees, effective through June 30, 2021.
Background
Hourly employees serve as a contingent workforce for the City, providing City departments
increased flexibility to accomplish supplemental work or sporadic projects that do not require
full time equivalent employees. There are two different groups of hourly employees in the City.
Represented hourly employees covered by Service Employee International Union (SEIU), 521
which is a group of approximately 120-170 hourly employees who generally work on a
consistent basis and; unrepresented limited hourly employees who work less than 416 hours
per fiscal year and range anywhere from 200-400 employees depending on the season. These
classifications include Librarian, Arts and Sciences Professional, Library Clerk, Administrative
Specialists, and Recreation Leaders.
The current limited hourly compensation plan expired June 30, 2017. It was not immediately
updated due to ongoing negotiations with SEIU Hourly Unit during this time . This compensation
plan sequentially follows the approval of the SEIU Hourly Unit Memorandum of Agreement or
in tandem to be consistent with the City’s practice and ongoing labor strategy to keep
classifications with the same title and general nature of work and assignments compensated
and similar if not identical hourly rates.
“Limited” Hourly positions are not eligible for medical benefits or CalPERS retirement benefits,
similar to SEIU Hourly employees. Instead limited hourly employees participate in a self-funded
defined contribution plan administered by PARS (Public Agency Retirement Services). The City
City of Palo Alto Page 2
does not make contributions towards PARS for Hourly employees. However, it should be noted
that limited hourly employees who work more than 1,000 hours in any given year will be
automatically enrolled in CalPERS, in accordance with CalPERS rules. The City proactively limits
the utilization of hourly employees beyond 1,000 hours in a fiscal year; exceptions are only
considered when a pressing, urgent, and justifiable business need exists. At any given time,
there are traditionally less than a dozen hourly employees enrolled in CalPERS. These
employees will now share in the cost of employer contributions to CalPERS.
Discussion
1. Salary Schedule Update
Staff is recommending the following increases:
Salary
o 5.5% increase effective the pay period including July 1, 2018
This increase combines the FY18 and FY19 salary increases into one
administrative action. The increases respectively were 3.0% FY18 and
2.5% FY19 mirror the SEIU hourly Unit.
o 2.5% increase effective the pay period including July 1, 2019
o 2.0% increase effective the pay period including July 1, 2020
Minimum wage ordinance compliance
o Build into the salary schedule the January 2018 ($13.50) and January 2019
($15.00) Minimum wage increases which impact 7 unrepresented Limited Hourly
Classifications
Police Reserves
o For the last decade the Police Reserve position has gone without any
adjustment. The current Police Reserve I top step pay rate of $27.53 is limiting
our ability to utilize our reserve force due to lack of availability and staffing.
o Staff recommends Increasing Police Reserve I to $48 per hour and Police Reserve
II to $43 per hour, both as flat rates.
o For reference Mountain View has a maximum rate of $73.64 per hour
2. Employee PERS contributions
1% contribution to the Employer share of CalPERS contributions
Resource Impact
The additional cost over the term of the Limited Hourly Compensation Plan is anticipated to be
approximately $815,000 across all funds ($523,000 in the General Fund) through June 30, 2021.
The Fiscal Year 2018 Budget was developed presuming a 2.0% general wage increase for the
entire Fiscal Year. Due to the timing of the proposed update to the Compensation Plan, no
additional budget actions are needed in FY 2018 . Although the FY 2019 – FY 2028 General Fund
City of Palo Alto Page 3
Long Range Financial Report presumed a 2.0% general wage increase for the Limited Hourly
employee group, adjustments were made to the development of the FY 2019 Operating Budget
following the successful conclusion of negotiations with SEIU. Consistent with past practice, the
marginal costs associated with keeping classifications in both SEIU and Limited Hourly aligned
were factored into the FY 2019 Operating Budget.
Policy Implications
The actions recommended in this report are consistent with City Council direction.

Amount not to Exceed $565,972 for Cubberley Community Center Master
Plan and Visioning; Approval of a Cost Share Agreement with the Palo Alto
Unified School District for up to $332,986; and Approve Budget Amendments
to Fund the Master Plan
From: City Manager
Lead Department: Community Services
Recommendation
Staff recommends that City Council:
1. Approve a Professional Services Agreement with Concordia LLC in an Amount Not
to Exceed $565,972 for Cubberley Community Center Master Plan and Visioning,
2. Amend the Fiscal Year 2018 Budget Appropriation Ordinance for the Cubberley
Property Infrastructure Fund by:

Master Plan project (CB-16001) by $332,986;
b. Increasing the Cubberley Community Center Master Plan project (CB-
16001) appropriation by $188,681; and

Executive Summary
The City of Palo Alto (City) and the Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD) have
agreed to collaborate on a master planning effort for the 35 -acre Cubberley Community
City of Palo Alto Page 2
Center site, of which PAUSD owns 27 acres and the City owns 8 acres. An RFP was
released to obtain a consultant experienced in innovative community engagement and
master planning of dynamic public spaces. The consultant will assist with development
of a Cubberley Community Center Master Plan to address the educational and
community service needs of Palo Alto. After careful review and consideration, staff
from both the City and PAUSD selected Concordia LLC based on their experience with
similar projects and their history of innovative and successful community engagement
efforts. As stated in the staff recommendation, a budget amendment to Capital Project
Number CB-16001 is needed to increase the project budget to accurately reflect the
project cost and to account for reimbursement from PAUSD. The total project cost of
the master planning effort will be equally shared between the City and PAUSD, as
described in the Cost Share Agreement.

was home to Cubberley High School until 1979. Of the 35 acres, the Palo Alto Unified
School District (PAUSD) owns 27 acres and the City of Palo Alto owns 8 acres. The City
has leased PAUSD’s 27 acres since January 1, 1990 and operates the community center
on the combined 35 acre site. The lease has been amended multiple times and the
current lease amendment will expire in December 2019. The lease amendment includes
a condition that the City and PAUSD will jointly develop a master plan for the entire site
by December 31, 2019 and shall meet and confer to determine the scope and funding
for the preparation of the plan.
A Cubberley Citizens Advisory Committee (CCAC) representing a cross-section of
Cubberley tenants, city-wide neighborhoods, schools and city-wide representatives, and
other relevant organizations, was formed in 2012 to cooperatively explore all practical
joint uses of the Cubberley campus for both educational and community service needs.
Several subcommittees were formed focusing on school needs, community needs,
facilities, and finance. Additionally, a Policy Advisory Committee consisting of City
Council members and School District Board members was created. The result of the
CCAC process was the recommendation that the site be designed for shared City/School
District use and for the City and the School District to work cooperatively toward a
phased development to support both school and community needs. The final report of
the CCAC can be found at
http://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/33455.
On March 9, 2016, City Manager Jim Keene and then PAUSD Superintendent Max
McGee signed a Cubberley Futures Compact to demonstrate the commitment between
the City and the School District to collaboratively plan for the future of the 35-acre
Cubberley site.
Discussion
Request for Proposals
City of Palo Alto Page 3
City and PAUSD staff together developed a scope of work with the goal of attracting
consulting firms who are experienced in community engagement, master planning, and
design thinking practices. The scope of work was presented to the City’s Policy and
Services Committee (PSC) on June 13, 2017. A motion passed unanimously to
“recommend the City Council direct the Community Services Department to release a
Request for Proposals for a Consulting Firm to assist the City of Palo Alto and Palo Alto
Unified School District with master planning of the Cubberley Community Center,
including a negotiated cost sharing agreement, and that the negotiation will not cause a
delay to the RFP.” Following the PSC discussion, PAUSD staff presented a slightly
revised version of the scope of work to the PAUSD Board of Education where it also
passed. The revisions included changes made by PAUSD with respect to their potential
future needs for Cubberley. On September 11, 2017 the City Council approved “the
release of a Request for Proposals for a Consulting Firm to Assist the City of Palo Alto
and Palo Alto Unified School District with Master Planning of the Cubberley C ommunity
Center.”
Request for Proposal (RFP) Number 170335 was released on November 7, 2017 with a
proposal submittal deadline of December 4, 2017. An optional pre-proposal meeting
was held on November 16, 2017 at the Cubberley Community Center and a pre-
proposal teleconference was held on November 28, 2017. Both the meeting and
teleconference were well attended by interested vendors. Two proposals were received
with costs of $534,300 and $965,051. The low number of bidders can be attributed to
a clause in the RFP that precludes the awarded vendor from bidding on future aspects
of the project, such as engineering and design. Most architectural firms want to see a
project through from concepts to completed design drawings.
Although there was a significant variation in bid costs, both firms were invited to
present their proposal to the consultant review team, which consisted of both City and
PAUSD staff. In part, this was done to determine if the consultants had the same
understanding of the project and deliverables. The consultant review team evaluated
and scored the written proposals and oral interviews. Concordia LLC received the
highest scores based on their understanding and ability to complete the work as
described, successful completion of similar projects such as the Emeryville Center of
Community Life, and their innovative and successful community engagement
experience, which is based on extensive levels of partnership and collaboration with the
community. Concordia will recruit and train “community fellows” who will become part
of the team and will help guide the process, drive participation and ensure productive
conversations.
Staff negotiated the contract and scope of work with Concordia, which was also
reviewed by PAUSD staff (Attachment A). The scope was modified to remove the task
of conducting California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) environmental review in
favor of having a separate contract with an environmental planning firm to ensure an
independent CEQA review. Staff will issue a separate RFP for the CEQA review.
City of Palo Alto Page 4
Cost Share Agreement
City and PAUSD staff have negotiated a cost share agreement for each party to share
equally in project costs of up to $665,972 (Attachment B). The PAUSD Board of
Education will vote on the cost share agreement at their June 5, 2018 Board meeting.
Since PAUSD will not be a party to the contract with Concordia, PAUSD will reimburse
the City for 50 percent of the total project cost. For additional services and the future
CEQA contract, PAUSD will reimburse the City when those costs are known.
Resource Impact
The total project cost is $665,972, which includes the not-to-exceed contract amount of
$514,520, additional services of $51,452 (ten percent), and CEQA review with an
estimated cost of approximately $100,000 (separate contract). The total project cost
will be shared equally with PAUSD as outlined in the attached Cost Share Agreement
(Attachment B). Since the cost share agreement between the City and PAUSD is a
reimbursement based agreement, funds need to be added to the project budget to
align it with the total project budget.
Capital Improvement Project CB-16001 (Cubberley Community Center Master Plan) has
a FY 2018 budget amount of $477,291. A budget amendment is required to transfer
$188,681 from the Cubberley Property Infrastructure Fund reserve to the project
budget for a total project budget of $665,972. After reimbursements from PAUSD, the
maximum cost to the City will be $332,986.
Not-to-exceed Contract Amount $514,520
10% Additional Services $51,452
CEQA Review $100,000
Total Project Cost $665,972
CIP CB-16001 FY2018 Budget $477,291
Budget Amendment Increase to CB-16001 $188,681
Total CIP CB-16001 Budget $665,972
Budget Amendment Revenue Increase to C-
16001 (PAUSD Share)
$332,986
Total Cost to City $332,986*
*Includes expenditure of additional services.
While the contract amount is higher than the original cost estimate that was presented
to PSC and Council, staff have reviewed Concordia’s scope of work in detail, negotiated
the cost and are satisfied that the contract amount accurately reflects the work effort
needed to successfully complete the master plan.
The PAUSD Board of Education will vote on the Cost Share Agreement at their June 5,
2018 Board meeting, including the increased project cost.

Environmental Review
Preparation of a master plan is considered a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). A CEQA document will be completed for the master plan by an
environmental planning consultant under separate contract with the City.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
CUBBERLEY COMMUNITY CENTER MASTER PLAN AND VISIONING
The Scope of Services will be completed in phases with the first phase commencing on the
execution date of this Agreement. Authorization to proceed with the second phase will be
provided in writing by CITY Project Manager upon successful completion of the first phase.
Goal
To collaboratively develop a community vision and master design plan for the Cubberley
Community Center that is innovative, flexible and adaptable.
Purpose
The Cubberley Community Center is located on a 35 -acre site in south Palo Alto that was
previously home to Cubberley High School until 1979. Of the 35 acres, the Palo Alto Unified
School District owns 27 acres and the City of Palo Alto owns eight acres. Th e City leases
DISTRICT’s 27 acres and operates the community center facility including athletic fields and
tennis courts on the combined 35 acre site. The current lease between the City and DISTRICT
will expire in December 2019. In March 2016, Palo Alto’s City Manager and DISTRICT’s
Superintendent signed the Cubberley Futures Compact demonstrating their “commitment to
jointly and cooperatively work toward a vision for the future that has the maximum impact for
the common good” of the Palo Alto community and future generations.
Both the City and DISTRICT have an interest in developing a plan for the 35 acre site to meet
the future educational, recreational, and community needs of the City of Palo Alto and
DISTRICT. We are committed to collaborating on the fut ure use of the entire Cubberley site
so opportunities for maximizing and sharing public space are included and the most benefit to
the community is provided. The City has a broad vision for a community center that: 1)
provides a multi-cultural learning environment; 2) supports the visual and performing arts;
and 3) offers wellness opportunities (fitness, athletics, therapeutic programs) to support the
social, emotional and physical health of people of all ages and abilities. The City is ready to
define the function and form of a new center on its eight acres and the City has established a
Cubberley Community Center Master Plan Capital Improvement Plan in the City of Palo Alto
Fiscal Year 2017 Capital Budget (Project Number CB-16001).
For DISTRICT, the overriding consideration regarding Cubberley is the need to provide for
potential future school enrollment growth. Potential DISTRICT employee housing,
administrative facility needs and other extended educational needs are also a consideration.
Current DISTRICT enrollment projections do not support the need for an additional school
within the next 5-10 years. However, both the proposed Stanford GUP and the City of Palo
Comp Plan carry with them the risk of enrollment growth and the requirement for additional
school facilities. While there are two discreet property-owners (City and DISTRICT) within the
35 acres, the master planning process should recognize the benefit of planning the 35 acres
collaboratively, while at the same time acknowledging the differing poten tial time horizons for
City and DISTRICT development.

{SR294497}
With the assistance of a consulting firm experienced in creative and effective public engagement
design thinking processes, the City and DISTRICT will lead a collaborative group of staff from
both organizations, as well as community stakeholders in a needs assessment and master
planning process. The goal is to create an inclusive yet flexible process that can accommodate changing
needs for the immediate and long term future of the site. The outcome will be a process that is inclusive,
adaptable, and synergizes multiple uses while meeting our timeline and shared vision.
The City and the DISTRICT are seeking a design team that will partner with the community and
build on the previous work of the Cubberley Community Advisory Committee to develop an
effective and comprehensive master plan for the Cubberley Community Center site.
Background
A Cubberley Citizens Advisory Committee (CCAC), representing a cross-section of Cubberley
tenants, city- wide neighborhoods, schools and city-wide representatives, and other relevant
organizations, was formed in 2012 to cooperatively explore all practical joint uses of the
Cubberley campus for both educational and community service needs. Four sub-committees
were formed to focus on: 1) school needs; 2) community needs; 3) facilities; and 4) finance.
Additionally, a Policy Advisory Committee consisting of City Council members and School
District Board members was created. The result of the CAC process was the recommendation
that the site be designed for shared City / School District use and for the City and the School
District to work cooperatively toward a phased development to support both school and
community needs.
The Master Plan and visioning process will consider the prior work of the Cubberley Citizens
Advisory Committee (CCAC) including the Final Report of the CCAC that was completed in
2013. (http://www.cityofpaloalto.org/gov/agendas/cubberley community advisory
committee.asp)

Summary Title: Approval of Contract with Integrated Design 360
Title: Approval of Contract C18172547 With Integrated Design 360 for
Development and Support of Sustainability Implementation Plan, Green
Building Program, Deconstruction and Source Separation Program,
Dewatering Monitoring Program and Utilities On -call Services Through June
30, 2019 for a Total Not-to-Exceed Amount of $606,291
From: City Manager
Lead Department: Development Services Department
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager or designee to approve
Contract C18172547 with Integrated Design 360 for development and support of the 2019
California Building Code update, Sustainability Implementation Plan (SIP), Green Building
Program, Deconstruction and Source Separation Program, refinement of the Dewatering
Monitoring Program, and Utilities On-Call Services related to the SIP and Utilities Strategic Plan
through June 30, 2019 for a Total Not-to-Exceed Amount of $606,291, of which $217,854 is
earmarked as optional work.
Background
The City has contracted with Integrated Design 360 since September 2014 (contract no.
C15154454) for the development, evaluation, and provision of technical assistance for the City’s
programs under the California Green Building Code, California Energy Code, and the California
Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. The firm has also assisted with various activities
related to the Sustainability Implementation Plan. City Council approved amendments to the
contract in January 2016, April 2016, and August 2017 for a combined total of $1,255,005. The
current contract is scheduled to expire in August 2018.
Discussion
The City is entering into a new contract with Integrated Design 360 for Fiscal Year 2019 to assist
with the upcoming 2019 California Building Code updates to the Green Building and Energy
Codes and to continue work related to the SIP. The firm will also support Development Services
by continuing to develop and provide technical assistance for the green building program,
support Public Works with the deconstruction and source separation program and further
City of Palo Alto Page 2
develop the dewatering monitoring program, and provide Utilities with on-call services.
Specifics about these department tasks can be found in Attachment A, Exhibit A.
In December 2017 the City Council approved the SIP which focuses on two key Sustainability
and Climate Action Plan concerns - greenhouse gasses and water - and four action areas:
energy, mobility, electric vehicles, and water. Integrated Design 360 has partnered with the
aforementioned departments to advance the SIP. The green building program directly
correlates to the energy action area, the deconstruction and source separation program
advances the City’s zero waste initiatives, the dewatering monito ring activities support water
action area, and the on-call services for Utilities focuses on their strategic plan and the energy
action area.
Staff requests that the City Council find this contract exempt from the City’s competitive
solicitation requirements. Given Integrated Design 360’s history with the City, the firm has
unique insight into the Green Building and Energy codes, related policies, and City operations.
The firm therefore is uniquely positioned to continue to develop and support these programs
and initiatives for one additional year. It would be impractical and cause substantial
interference with required city operations if this contract is not approved. The firm is
supporting staff with regulatory activities associated with a cost effectiveness study related to
energy code requirements for the upcoming code cycle, which requires the City to meet
California Energy Commission timelines. Additionally, the firm is supporting outcomes from the
City’s recent Green Building Summit and subsequent Green Building Advisory Group’s Technical
Advisory Committee meetings is it relates to meeting timelines for the building code cycle
update. Finally, the firm is involved in supporting the monitoring of dewatering sites. Due to the
seasonal nature of this activity developments are underway. Any disruption to services would
interrupt city operations, could cause economic loss and delay projects. Staff seeks to maintain
continuity by utilizing the expertise of Integrated Design 360.
Staff has intentionally structured the new contract with Integrated Design 360 to end on June
30, 2019. Throughout the fiscal year staff will be evaluating the Development Services
Department’s service and staffing model in light of the City’s financial challenges and direction
on best practices from the City Attorney’s office and Human Resources department. Staff will
likely return to the Council with recommendations for adjustments to the Development
Services Department’s service and staffing model for fiscal year 2020.
Resource Impact
Fiscal Year 2019 department budgets in Development Services, Public Works and Utilities have
sufficient funding for this contract.

The Honorable City Council
Palo Alto, California
Adoption of a Resolution Calling a General Municipal Election for
Tuesday, November 6, 2018, for Three Council Member Seats
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the attached Resolution calling for a General Municipal Election for three Council seats
for November 6, 2018. By motion, direct the City Clerk to use the random name order set by
the Secretary of State to determine the order of candidates’ names on the ballot.
BACKGROUND:
Attached is a Resolution calling a General Municipal Election for three Council Member seats on
November 6, 2018, requesting the services of the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters
(Registrar), and requesting consolidation of the General Municipal Election with any other
election called for this jurisdiction for this date.
This election implements Measure D, a Charter amendment approved by voters in 2014 that
changed the number of council member seats from nine to seven, effective January 1, 2019.
The Charter requires that the order of candidates’ names on the ballot be determined by lot
(Charter Art. VII, Sec. 3). The City Clerk recommends that Council continue prior practice and
direct that the Charter requirement be implemented by using the random name order set by
the California Secretary of State.
Terms of the following Council Members expire on December 31, 2018: Tom Dubois, Eric
Filseth, Karen Holman, Greg Scharff, and Cory Wolbach. Council Members Holman and Scharff
each will have served two full consecutive terms and are not eligibl e to seek election on the
November 6, 2018 ballot. Council Members Tom Dubois, Eric Filseth, and Cory Wolbach each
will have served one full term and are eligible to seek election on the November 6, 2018 ballot.
The attached Resolution and proposed motion are not projects subject to review under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
RESOURCE IMPACT:
The estimated cost of the November 2018 election including the three vacant Council seats, 3 -4
ballot measures, and translation into several lan guages is approximately $125,000. The FY 2019
Budget currently includes funding of $100,000.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Per the municipal code, the City Manager is charged with bringing forth a proposed budget that
provides a clear and complete financial plan for all City activities proposed for the ensuing
budget cycle, or fiscal year. The Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets
were transmitted to the City Council on April 30, 2018. These documents represented the
planned expenditures and revenues for FY 2019 for the various funds that make up the City’s
budget: General Fund, Capital Fund, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, Special Revenue
Funds, and Debt Service Funds. The budget documents contain an overview section with
descriptions of each of these fund types, and detailed information for the revenues and
expenses for each fund, as well as for each individual department.
Throughout the month of May, the Finance Committee conduct ed budget hearings to review
the Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets. After an overview of the entire budget process,
the Finance Committee went through the Proposed Operating Budget department by
department and fund by fund; the Finance Committee revie wed the Proposed Capital Budget
with the respective Enterprise Funds as well as by project category in the General Capital Fund.
These meetings were open to the public and provided a venue for the Finance Committee to
propose amendments to the budget by department by fund. The Finance Committee also
discussed utility rates changes, the bi-annual review of the City’s other post-employment
benefits (OPEB) retiree healthcare plan benefit, and various fee changes recommended by staff.
During these discussions, changes were recommended to the City Manager’s Proposed Budget
by both the Finance Committee and staff. At the conclusion of the final hearing, the Finance
Committee made the following motion:
Recommend that the City Council approve the City Manager’s FY 2019 Proposed Operating and
Capital Budgets and FY 2019 Municipal Fee Schedule noting the individual committee member
votes on each item considered including the following amendments:
1. Finance Committee recommendation for the continuation of valet services in FY 2019 for the
downtown area;
2. The Office of Sustainability would be subsumed within the Office of the City Manager
effective November 1, 2018, rescinding the Committee’s initial directive;
3. Finance Committee voted 2:2 on the General Capital Improvement Fund Budget;
4. Finance Committee voted 4:0 to remove funding for the Council Chamber AV Upgrade (TE-
19001) capital improvement budget project understanding that Council has referred review
of the project to the Finance Committee tentatively scheduled on June 19, 2018.
5. Staff recommended changes to the Operating, Capital and Municipal Fee Schedule as
summarized and outlined in the budget wrap-up memorandum;
6. Recommend a $4 million reduction in FY 2019 budgeted expenses in the General Fund with
the impacts to be identified and articulated to the Finance Committee during the remainder
of the 2018 calendar year and set aside this funding in a reserve;
7. Recommend the City Council direct Staff to:
City of Palo Alto Page 3
Return to the Finance Committee with a work plan and timeline to discuss the $4
million in structural reductions in the General Fund and the impacts of the reduction
in expenses when the City Council returns from break, including a discussion of
optimizing library hours. Also include discussion regarding the implications of closing
the pension gap, at a commensurate 50% level to the General Fund, accounting for
rising costs in non-general funds, specifically Enterprise and Other Funds.
Return to Finance with a discussion of the municipal fees discussed during this
agenda item. Examples include but are not limited to the review of activities the City
currently regulates and evaluate if it is necessary to continue to regulate such
activities and review special events fees and policies.
Return to the Finance Committee by August 2018 with a policy discussion on the
strategy for prioritizing Capital Improvement Project criteria in the Gas Fund.
Approved 4:0
SEPARATE MOTION: Include a review of the requests by the Finance Committee regarding the
City Auditor’s Office, rescinding the Committee’s initial directive.
Approved 3:1
This report summarizes the actions contained in that motion, as well as the various
administrative actions necessary to perform those actions such as changes to the salary
schedule and changes to the Table of Organization. As a result of actions recommended in this
report, both by staff and the Finance Committee, the total Fiscal Year 2019 Proposed Budget of
$704.5 million will increase by $5.4 million, which reflects a 0.77% increase, for a total Fiscal
Year 2019 Adopted Budget of $709.9 million. This increase is attributed to the reappropriation
of capital projects not anticipated to be completed in FY 2018 and therefore funds
recommended to be carried into FY 2019 for the continuation of the projects. This Adopted
Budget leaves the City in a fiscally healthy situation and in the General Fund, the Budget
Stabilization Reserve (BSR) is at 19.5%, above the Council recommended level of 18.5%, of the
General Fund Adopted Budget total expenses.
In addition to the adoption of the City’s annual budget, included in this memorandum are
referral items for full City Council at the request of the Finance Committee and the acceptance
of retiree healthcare plan report. Staff will work to address these items with the Finance
Committee and the City Council throughout FY 2019 and incorporate the outcomes of those
meetings into the development of the FY 2020 budget if these items are approved here.
This report includes the following sections:

both the Finance Committee and staff in the General Fund. All departmental budgets as
amended by the Committee were approved by majority vote (Attachment D outlines specific
votes by department).
Summary of Recommended Changes to the FY 2019 City Manager Proposed Budget
Throughout the FY 2019 Budget Hearings, the Finance Committee members recommended
amendments to the FY 2019 City Manager Proposed Budget. Staff has worked to incorporate
those directions into the amended budget, and recommended a few additional actions as a
result of changes approved by the Finance Committee including:
City of Palo Alto Page 6
a $4.0 million decrease in budgeted expenses in the General Fund with additional
implications associated with this reduction to be forthcoming during the FY 2019 budget
year;
a $780,000 increase in estimated revenues and budgeted expenses for grant funding
from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA);
a $70,000 decrease to subsume the Office of Sustainability within the Office of the City
Manager, effective November 1, 2018;
a $150,000 reallocation from tree trimming contracts to the Urban Forest Master Plan,
maintaining a seven-year trimming cycle and providing ongoing funding for the
implementation of the Urban Forest Master Plan;
a net-zero reorganization of Planning and Community Environment authorized staffing
levels, in alignment with a study completed with the Human Resources Department.
Actions recommended in this report result in a $4.1 million increase in the General Fund Budget
Stabilization Reserve (BSR) from the levels proposed in the FY 2019 City Manager Proposed
Operating Budget. A BSR of $45.1 million or 21.4 percent of the FY 2019 General Fund
Recommended Expenditure budget of $210.7 million would result. This level is above the
target level of 18.5 percent as approved by the City Council. However, as outlined in the
attachments, $4.0 million of this BSR is reserved pending the Finance Committee review of the
implications and actions necessary to achieve $4.0 million in structural reductions in expenses.
Once adjusted to exclude this reserve. A BSR of $41.1 million remains or 19.5 percent of the FY
2019 General Fund Expense budget, still above the 18.5 percent City Council approved target.
General Capital Improvement Fund
At the Finance Committee Budget meetings, the vote on the tentative approval the FY 2019
General Capital Improvement Fund was split, 2:2. The General Capital Improvement Fund
recommends a positive fund balance at the end of FY 2019 as well as each year the 2019 -2023
five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP); however, there are some assumptions that should be
noted. Within the capital budget, the top priority is to fund and complete the nine 2014 Council
Infrastructure Plan (IP) projects approved by the City Council in June 2014, which also aligns
with the Council’s 2018 Budget and Finance priority to create an infrastructure funding plan.
The IP relies on the 2 percent TOT increase approved in 2014 plus revenue from new hotels
built after January 2015. The 2019-2023 CIP assumes the opening of new Marriott hotels in FY
2020, and based on this, an additional $3.6 million of annual Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)
funding as well as Certificate of Participation (COP) issuance of $35.2 million is estimated to
cover the funding gap for the IP projects.
In addition to the Council Infrastructure Plan (IP) projects, there are a number of other
significant potential capital projects that have been identified as needs that do not have
funding identified. The following are some other potential competing community asset
projects: Junior Museum and Zoo rebuild (Phase II); Animal Shelter replacement or renovation;
Parks Master Plan implementation. In order to address potential funding gaps in the Council
City of Palo Alto Page 7
Infrastructure Plan (IP) projects, allow for more flexibility in the five-year CIP and beyond, and
potentially provide funding for unfunded community asset projects and other unforeseen
capital needs, the Finance Committee has been discussing the possibility of a ballot measure in
November 2018 to be used to generate additional revenue to support infrastructure. Starting
on February 6, 2018 and continuing over a series of meetings, the Finance Committee began
discussions regarding the Infrastructure Plan and the overall funding strategy to ensure the
projects will be completed within the 2019-2023 CIP. This includes funding from a potential
ballot measure as well as funding that is anticipated, but has not b een previously recognized or
appropriated, like the potential TOT funding from the new Marriott hotels mentioned above.
As currently proposed, future years of General Fund transfers and TOT funding are funding a
portion of the 2014 Council Infrastructure Plan, however those funds could be dedicated
towards these unfunded projects or other priorities if alternative funding sources for the
Infrastructure Plan are identified.
The only recommended adjustments to the General Capital Improvement Fund included s taff
recommended amendments for reappropriations for specific projects outlined in Attachment A,
Exhibit 3.
Enterprise Funds
Adjustments in the Electric and Water Funds primarily resulted from staff -initiated changes that
were approved by the Finance Committee. Below is a summary of these adjustments;
additional details can be found on Attachment A, Exhibits 2 and 3.
Reductions to revenue estimates in the Electric and Water Funds in alignment with
revised rate adjustments approved by the Finance Committee for Water on April 17th
(CMR #9158) and for Electric on May 15th (CMR #9143). Based on these adjustments,
the overall revenue is expected to decrease by approximately $2.5 million from the FY
2019 Proposed Operating Budget of the Electric Fund and $0.4 million for the Water
Fund. More details on revised rate adjustments for Electric and Water, as well as rate
adjustments for other utility services, can be found later in the FY 2019 Rate Changes
section of this report.
Various reappropriations for ongoing capital improvement projects as discussed are
outlined later in this report.
Internal Service Funds
As directed by the Finance Committee during the May 23, 2018 wrap-up Budget Hearing, the
City Council Chambers Upgrade (Reserve) Project (TE-19001) has been eliminated from the
Technology Fund. Staff will return to the Finance Committee and the full City Council to discuss
the options for the City Council Chambers Upgrade, including the minimum actions necessary
from a safety and accessibility perspective, as well as the other options for enhancing the City
Council Chambers.
City of Palo Alto Page 8
Special Revenue Funds
As directed by the Finance Committee during the May 16 ,2018 Budget Hearing, an adjustment
of $290,000 is recommended to extend valet parking services in the University Avenue Fund to
align with the anticipated opening of the new Downtown Parking Garage. This action would
maintain the ability to accommodate up to 135 additional spaces per day and is intended to
mitigate parking supply constraints in the downtown parking district area.
Capital Reappropriations
As described in the FY 2019 Proposed Capital Budget document and discussed during the
Finance Committee Budget Hearings, the City Council approved a change in the method of
accounting for capital budget reappropriations included in the 2019 -2023 Proposed Capital
Improvement Program (CIP). Previously, any unspent capital funds carried forward from one
fiscal year to the next automatically, as long as the project was active. As a result of this
October 2014 change to the Municipal Code, City Council authorization is now required for
reappropriations. The FY 2019 budget process continues this process with the current FY 2019
Proposed Capital Budget including approximately $11.1 million in reappropriated funds, across
all funds. In the time since the FY 2019 Proposed Budget figures were developed, departme nts
have further refined current year estimates and the reappropriation amounts built into the
proposed CIP. Additional reappropriation adjustments are recommended as part of this wrap -
up memorandum in order to update the FY 2019 Capital Budget with curren t, more refined
estimated activity levels in Fiscal Year 2018. Cumulatively, this re-review of projects has
resulted in staff’s recommendation to increase the Fiscal Year 2019 Proposed Budget by a total
of $11.1 million, from $211.7 million to $222.8 million.
Fund Recommended Fiscal Year
2019 Funding Adjustment
Capital Improvement Fund 7,560,500
Cubberley Property Infrastructure
Fund (370,000)
Electric Fund 3,502,000
Gas Fund 150,000
Technology Fund (200,000)
Vehicle Replacement Fund (565,000)
Wastewater Treatment Fund (362,000)
Water Fund 971,000
Total All Funds $11,086,500
These adjustments, as outlined by project in Attachment A, Exhibit 3, combined with those
outlined in the FY 2019 Proposed Capital Budget will ensure that funds are available at the
onset of Fiscal Year 2019 for projects that have experienced delays in the current year and will
reduce the Fiscal Year 2019 Proposed Budget for projects that experienced higher than
City of Palo Alto Page 9
anticipated expenditure levels within Fiscal Year 2018. In total , reappropriations of an
estimated $47.7 million remain below those assumed in the FY 2018 Adopted Capital Budget of
$60.9 million.
TABLE OF ORGANIZATION
There were no changes to the authorized position levels by fund through the Finance
Committee Budget hearings. However, certain changes to the Table of Organization were
recommended by staff in the wrap -up memorandum to perform a reorganization in the
Planning and Community Environment Department. This reorganization is being conducted to
enhance succession planning and professional development efforts in the department. An
updated Table of Organization is included as Attachment A, Exhibit 5. Necessary adjustments to
the Management Professional Salary Schedule are included separately as Attachment B and
discussed in more detail below.
RETIREE MEDICAL, OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB) ACTUARIAL VALUATION
On May 15, 2018 the Finance Committee recommended that the City Council review and accept
the June 30, 2017 actuarial valuation of Palo Alto’s Retiree Healthcare Plan and Annual
Actuarially Determined Contributions (ADC) for Fiscal Years 2019 and 2020. Bi-annually staff
contracts with an actuary firm which provides an actuarial report detailing the latest status of
the City of Palo Alto’s Retiree Healthcare plans for employees and retirees. The analysis is used
to determine the City’s retiree healthcare liability and the annual ADC to the trust. In addition,
the report details funding status, results of assumptions such as discount rate (DR), health care
plan premiums, and projected future healthcare costs. Staff has incorporated the results of this
actuarial valuation into the City Manager’s Proposed FY 2019 Budget. The FY 2019 Budget
includes $16.0 million for Retiree Healthcare based on the ADC. For full details, refer to City
Manager Report #9213 and the corresponding At-Places Memorandum detailing the summary:
https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/65134 .
MUNICIPAL FEE SCHEDULE
On May 16, 2018 the Finance Committee recommended that the City Council adopt the
changes to the Fiscal Year 2019 Proposed Municipal Fee Schedule with amendments
(Attachment A, Exhibit 4). Major changes made to the Fiscal Year 2019 Proposed Municipal Fee
Schedule include a 2.6% percent fee increase for average salary and benefits and adjustments
to achieve cost recovery levels per the guidelines approved by the City Council, and
adjustments to Planning and Community Environment Impact Fees in accordance with prior
City Council resolutions. As detailed in the attached, the Finance Committee approved the
addition of 10 new fees, the deletion of 31 fees, and the adjustment of 163 fees by a rate other
than 2.6% to adjust for cost recovery levels, align with market value, or capture other technical
adjustments.
City of Palo Alto Page 10
At the May 16, 2018 Finance Committee meeting, staff recommended an additional adjustment
that was inadvertently omitted from the FY 2019 Proposed Municipal Fee Schedule Staff Report
(CMR #9210). Staff proposed to increase the Comprehensive Plan Maintenance Fee from $0.55
to $1.08 per $1,000 of construction valuation in alignment with recommendations of the
Development Services Department Fee Study completed in FY 2018.
Also included in this report are minor changes from those actions approved by the Finance
Committee. Details of these additional recommended changes are outlined below.
Wireless Permits: Staff recommends that fee titles in this group are revised to clarify
that fee amounts are an initial deposit and subject to further collection, consistent with
current practice. The language has been revised to include the words “initial deposit”:
o Tier 1: Minor ARB: $3,158 initial deposit plus any applicable Other Application
fees
o Tier 2: Conditional Use Permit: $6,799 initial deposit plus any applicable Other
Application fees
o Tier 3: Major ARB: $7,220 initial deposit plus any applicable Other Application
fees
Southgate RPP – Full Price Employee Parking Permit: Staff recommends a minor
adjustment to the fee amount from $182.50 to $187.50 per year. This fee is new for FY
2019 and was inadvertently listed at a lower price in the initial presentation of the
Municipal Fees. This fee is intended to align with Evergreen Park/Mayfield prices for
employee permits at the conclusion of the pilot period, ending September 30, 2018 .
Additionally, the Finance Committee requested fee-based General Fund revenue data during
the Municipal Fee discussion at the May 16th meeting. The Finance Committee specifically
asked to examine the level of revenue adjustments programmed into the FY 201 9 Proposed
Budget in the General Fund as a result of fee changes. Overall, fee -based revenue for FY 2019 is
approximately $31.6 million. This represents an increase of 11% or approximately $3.0 million
from FY 2018 with the primary driver of that increase assuming the renovated golf course will
be open for 12 months during FY 2019.
FISCAL YEAR 2019 RATE CHANGES
From March through May 2018, the Utilities Advisory Commission and Finance Committee
received and reviewed various utility financial plans, transfer requests, and rate changes
recommended by staff. Adoption of the resolutions to approve rate adjustments for FY 2019 is
scheduled to be considered by the City Council on June 11 th. For full details, refer to City
Manager Report #9276, which outlines the actions requested, transmits the relevant
resolutions, and requests City Council approval and adoption. Below is a brief summary of the
proposed rate adjustments for various utilities.
City of Palo Alto Page 11
Rate Changes
Electric: For FY 2019, a 6% overall rate increase is proposed. Beyond FY 2019, annual
increases between 0% and 3% are projected through FY 2023. For more
information, see CMR #9158, approved by the Finance Committee on May 15, 2018.
Gas: For FY 2019, a 4% overall rate increase is proposed. Beyond FY 2019, annual
increases between 4% and 8% are projected through FY 2023. For more
information, see CMR #9157, approved by the Finance Committee on May 15, 2018.
Wastewater Collections: For FY 2019, an 11% overall rate increase is proposed.
Beyond FY 2019, annual increases between 4% and 12% are projected through FY
2023. For more information, see CMR #9016, approved by the Finance Committee
on April 3, 2018.
Water: For FY 2019, a 3% overall rate increase is proposed. Beyond FY 2019, annual
increases between 4% and 7% are projected annually through FY 2023. For more
information, see CMR #9143, approved by the Finance Committee on April 17, 2018.
Storm Water and Surface Water Drainage: For FY 2019, a 2.9% increase based on the
annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) change in the San Francisco Bay Area is proposed.
For more information, see CMR #9074, approved by the Finance Committee on April
17, 2018.
Dark Fiber: For FY 2019, a 2.9% increase for the EDF-1 and EDF-2 rates is proposed.
Future year adjustments will continue to be based on year -to-year change in the CPI
in the San Francisco Bay Area.
SALARY SCHEDULES
In addition to the approval of the Table of Organization, the changes in the Fiscal Year 2019 City
Manager’s Budget result in amendments to two of the City’s employee group’s salary
schedules. These reflect changes to classification compensations or changes to add or amend
current job classifications for these employee groups. Below is a summary of the
recommended changes:
Management and Professional Group (MGMT) (Attachment B):
Increasing the range for the Accountant and Sr Accountant series by 5%
Retitling the “Chief Planning Official” classification to “Division Manager Planning”
Service Employees International Union - Hourly (SEHL) (Attachment C):
Minor salary corrections as requested by the Human Resources Department
REFERRAL ITEMS FOR FULL CITY COUNCIL AT THE REQUEST OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
City of Palo Alto Page 12
The Finance Committee approved a motion on May 23, 2018 to recommend that the full City
Council refer the following items to staff for further review. A motion by the full City Council
would be necessary to refer these items to staff.
Return to the Finance Committee with a work plan and timeline to discuss the $4 .0
million in structural reductions in the General Fund and the impacts of the reduct ion in
expenses when the City Council returns from break, including a discussion of optimizing
library hours. Also include discussion regarding the implications of closing the pension
gap, at a commensurate 50% level to the General Fund, accounting for ris ing costs in
non-general funds, specifically Enterprise and Other Funds.
Return to Finance Committee with a discussion of the municipal fees discussed during
this agenda item. Examples include but are not limited to the review of activities the
City currently regulates and evaluate if it is necessary to continue to regulate such
activities and review special events fees and policies.
Return to the Finance Committee by August 2018 with a policy discussion on the
strategy for prioritizing Capital Improvement Project criteria in the Gas Fund.
RESOURCE IMPACT
This report summarizes and seeks the City Council approval of the FY 2019 Operating and
Capital Budgets, the supporting fee schedules, and salary schedules in order to support the
projections and appropriations included.
The approval of the City Manager’s FY 2019 Capital and Operating Budget as recommended to
be amended in this report would result in the appropriation of funds for these services and
programs to be completed during the 2019 Fiscal Year. The $4.0 million reduction in the
General Fund will most likely impact the level and delivery of services.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Adoption of the attached Financial Plans and budgeted transfers does not meet the California
Environmental Quality Act’s definition of a project, pursuant to Public Resources Code Section
21065 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) and (5), because it is a governmental fiscal and
administrative activity which will not cause a direct or indirect physical change in the
environment. After reviewing the staff report and all attachments presented to City Council,
the City Council incorporates these documents herein and finds that sufficient evidence has
been presented setting forth with specificity the basis for this claim of CEQA exemption.

Public Works Urban Forest Master Plan
Consistent with the Finance Committee recommended revisions approved on May 23, 2018,
this action funds the estimated annual costs of implementing the Urban Forest Master Plan

this action aligns the tree‐trimming contract expenses with the 7‐year cycle. Staff assessed the
progress of the tree trimming cycle and determined it is being completed more efficiently than
previously anticipated, effectively achieving better than the target 7‐year cycle. Therefore, staff
recommended reducing the funding allocated for the tree trimming contract by $150,000 and
continue maintaining the 7 year trimming cycle while reallocating this funding on an ongoing
basis to fund the Urban Forest Master Plan as recommended by the Finance Committee on May
16th, 2018.

Subject:do not eliminate Sustainability Lead
Dear City Council,
I just read that Palo Alto is eliminating its Chief Sustainability Officer position. Even if it has to go Part time
and pay less, this is one of the few truly exceptional things about Palo Alto, helps us be a national limit in
reducing emissions, and is the one domain where our divided community (around housing) comes together. It
is also incredibly important for the future of our children and planet. Please please find a way to keep this
funded,
Sincerely,
Mary Jane Marcus

The Honorable City Council
Palo Alto, California
Adoption of a Resolution Placing an Initiative Measure on the
November 6, 2018 Ballot to Amend Title 5 of the Palo Alto Municipal
Code to Limit Health Care Costs That Hospitals, Medical Clinics and
Other Health Care Providers may Charge Patients and Other Payers
From: Joint Report of the City Clerk, City Manager and City Attorney
Recommendation
As directed by Council on June 11, 2018, staff recommends that the City Council adopt
the attached Resolution calling an election to submit the Initiative to the voters at the
next general municipal election on November 6, 2018 on the Palo Alto Accountable and
Affordable Health Care Initiative (Attachment A).
Discussion
On June 11, 2018, the City Council accepted the Certificate of Sufficiency of the
Initiative Petition to limit health care costs that hospitals, medical clinics and other
providers may charge (the “Initiative”) and considered its options relative to the
Initiative. Palo Alto Charter Article VI, Section 2, requires the City Council to either
adopt the initiative ordinance verbatim or place it on the ballot. After hearing from the
public, the Council directed staff to return on June 18, 2018 with a resolution to place
the Initiative on the November 6, 2018 ballot. The Council also directed staff to
prepare a report analyzing the effects of the Initiative on Palo Alto residents, businesses
and City staff, after the summer recess. The staff report for the June 11th meeting is
at: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/65422
On June 13, 2018, the City Attorney received a letter from Stanford Health Care
(Attachment B) reiterating its request that the City file a court challenge to the Initiative
or, if the City was not so inclined, that the City Council not further delay the placement
of the Initiative on the ballot so that Stanford Health Care could initiate a pre-election
challenge.
The schedule for the November 6, 2018 election is as follows:
August 10, 2018: Deadline for submitting measure to County
August 14, 2018: Deadline for direct arguments
Page 2
August 21, 2018: Deadline for rebuttal arguments and impartial analysis
Resource Impact
The estimated cost of the November 2018 election including this potential ballot
measure, 2-3 additional ballot measures, the 3 vacant seats on the City Council, and
translation into several languages is approximately $125,000. The FY 2019 Budget
currently includes funding of $100,000.
Environmental Review
The City Council’s action to submit an initiative measure to the voters is not subject to
review under the California Environmental Quality Act.

All hospitals, medical clinics, and other providers shall comply with the following requirements:
(a) Commencing January 1, 2019, a hospital, medical clinic, or other provider shall
annually issue a rebate and a reduction in billed amount to a payer for all money paid or
billed for services provided to a patient in excess of the acceptable payment amount for

(1) No later than 150 days after the end of its fiscal year, a hospital, medical
clinic, or other provider shall calculate its health care quality improvement costs
and pro rata health care quality improvement cost for the most recently completed
fiscal year.
(2) No later than 150 days after the end of its fiscal year, a hospital, medical
clinic, or other provider shall compile the following information for each patient
to whom it provided care in the most recently completed fiscal year:
(i) patient;
(ii) total amount received from each payer or payers for health care

(iv) acceptable payment amount for the fiscal year; and
(v) the amount, if any, by which the total amount identified pursuant to

(3) No later than 180 days after the end of its fiscal year, a hospital, medical
clinic, or other provider shall (i) issue a rebate of any amount paid, as described
by subdivision (a)(2)(ii), in excess of the acceptable payment amount, and (ii) for
any amount that has not been paid and for which the amount reasonably estimated
to be paid exceeds the acceptable payment amount, as described by subdivision
(a)(2)(ii), reduce the invoice to the acceptable payment amount and reissue the
invoice to the payer.
(4) Where a rebate must be paid or an amount billed but not yet paid must be
reduced pursuant to this section, and more than one payer is responsible, the
hospital, medical clinic, or other provider shall divide and distribute the total
required rebate or reduction in billed amounts among the payers consistent with
the payers' relative obligations to pay for the services. The hospital, medical
clinic, or other provider shall issue the rebate together with interest thereon at the
rate of interest specified in subdivision (b) of Section 3289 of the California Civil
p.3 Palo Alto Accountable and Affordable Health Care Initiative 10 30'2017
Code, which shall accrue from the date the hospital, medical clinic, or other
provider received payment.
(5) Where, in any fiscal year, the rebate the hospital, medical clinic, or other
provider must issue to a single payer is less than twenty dollars ($20), the
hospital, medical clinic, or other provider need not issue that rebate.
(6) In the event a hospital, medical clinic, or other provider is required to issue a

provider for services provided to 50 patients or fewer in the fiscal year, an
amount equal to five percent of the required rebate or reduction, provided

dollars ($100), but shall not exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) per
rebate or reduction.
(ii) If rebates or reductions are owed by a hospital, medical clinic, or other
provider for services provided to more than 50 patients in the fiscal year,
an amount equal to 10 percent of the required rebate or reduction,
provided that the fine for each rebate or reduction shall be at least one
hundred dollars ($100), but shall not exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000)
per rebate or reduction.
(7) In the event a hospital, medical clinic, or other provider fails to issue a rebate
or reduction within the time required by paragraph (3), consistent with Municipal
Code Section 1.08.010(d) each subsequent day that the required rebate or
reduction is not issued constitutes a separate violation for which a fine is to be
imposed pursuant to paragraph (6).
(8) Fines collected pursuant to paragraphs (6) and (7) shall be used by the
Administrative Services Department to implement and enforce laws governing
hospitals, medical clinics, and other providers.
(9) Where reimbursement for health care services is subject to the requirements of
Section 1371.31(a) of the California Health and Safety Code, nothing in this
Chapter shall affect the reimbursements required by that Section. Further, (i) the
payments received for health care services that are subject to the reimbursement

not be included in the total amount received, or the total amount reasonably
estimated to be paid, for the fiscal year pursuant to subdivision (a)(2)(ii), and (ii)
the costs associated with providing health care services that are subject to the
reimbursement requirements of Section 1371.31(a) of the California Health and
p.4 Palo Alto Accountable and Affordable Health Care Initiative 10'30 2017
Safety Code shall not be included in the reasonable cost of direct patient care for
the fiscal year pursuant to subdivision (a)(2)(iii).
(b) (1) No later than 150 days after the end of its fiscal year, every hospital, medical
clinic, or other provider shall provide to the Administrative Services Department
information identifying the reasonable cost of direct patient care for each patient to whom
services were provided in the fiscal year. The reasonable cost of direct patient care shall
be the reasonable costs directly associated with operating a hospital, medical clinic, or
other provider in Palo Alto and providing care to patients in Palo Alto. The reasonable
cost of direct patient care shall include only (i) salaries, wages, and benefits of non-
managerial hospital, medical clinic, or other provider staff, including all personnel who
furnish direct care to patients, regardless of whether the salaries, wages, or benefits are
paid directly by the hospital, medical clinic, or other provider, or indirectly through an
arrangement with an affiliated or unaffiliated third party, including but not limited to a
governing entity, an independent staffing agency, a physician group, or a joint venture
between a hospital, medical clinic, or other provider, and a physician group; (ii) staff
training and development; (iii) pharmaceuticals and supplies; (iv) facility costs, including
rent, maintenance, and utilities; (v) laboratory testing; and (vi) depreciation and
amortization of buildings, leasehold improvements, patient supplies, equipment, and
information systems. For purposes of this paragraph, "non -managerial hospital, medical
clinic, or other provider staff' includes all personnel who furnish direct care to patients,
including doctors, nurses, technicians and trainees, social workers, registered dietitians,
environmental service workers, and non -managerial administrative staff, but excludes
managerial staff such as facility administrators. Categories of costs of direct patient care
may be further prescribed by the department through regulation.
(2) Each hospital, medical clinic, or other provider shall maintain and report to
the Administrative Services Department the information described in paragraph
(1) of this subdivision, the information described in paragraph (1) of subdivision
(a), and information describing every instance during the period covered by the
submission when the rebate or reduction required under subdivision (a) was not
timely issued in full, and the reasons and circumstances therefor. The information
required to be maintained and the report required to be submitted by this
paragraph shall each be independently audited by a certified public accountant in
accordance with the standards of the Accounting Standards Board of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and shall include the opinion
of that certified public accountant as to whether the information contained in the
report fully and accurately describes, in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States, the information required to be
reported.
(3) Each hospital, medical clinic, or other provider shall annually submit the
report required by paragraph (2) of this subdivision on a schedule, in a format,
and on a form prescribed by the Administrative Services Department, provided
p.5
Palo Alto Accountable and Affordable Health Care Initiative 10 30.2017
that the hospital, medical clinic, or other provider shall submit the report no later
than 150 days after the end of its fiscal year.
(4) The chief executive officer or administrator of the hospital, medical clinic, or
other provider shall personally certify under penalty of perjury that he or she is
satisfied, after review, that all information submitted to the department pursuant
to paragraph (2) of this subdivision is accurate and complete.
(5) The Administrative Services Department shall annually publish information
showing the number and aggregate amount of rebates provided, as well as the
number and aggregate amount of fines paid, by each hospital, medical clinic, or
other provider. Any information that must be reported to or by the Department
pursuant to this Chapter shall be made available to the public upon request,
consistent with the requirements of the California Public Records Act and any
other applicable law, including limitations on public disclosure in the interest of
personal privacy.
(c) (1) A hospital, medical clinic, or other provider may petition the Administrative
Services Department at any time for a determination that a cost not specified in Section
5.40.020(c) is a health care quality improvement cost or for a determination that a cost
not specified in Section 5.40.030(b)(1) is a reasonable cost of direct patient care.
(2) The Administrative Services Department may grant a petition concerning
health care quality improvement costs only upon finding that the hospital, medical
clinic, or other provider has demonstrated:
(i) The cost was spent on activities designed to improve health quality and
increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes in ways that are capable
of being objectively measured and of producing verifiable results and
achievements;
(ii) The hospital, medical clinic, or other provider actually paid the cost;
and
(iii) The cost was spent on services offered at the hospital, medical clinic,
or other provider to patients.
(3) The Administrative Services Department may grant a petition concerning
reasonable costs of direct patient care only upon finding that the hospital, medical
clinic, or other provider has demonstrated:
(i) The cost was directly associated with operating a hospital, medical
clinic, or other provider in Palo Alto and providing care to patients in Palo
Alto and is reasonable in light of market rates for similar goods or
services;
(ii) The hospital, medical clinic, or other provider actually paid the cost;
and
p.6 Palo Alto Accountable and Affordable Health Care Initiative 10/30/2017
(iii) The cost was spent on services offered at the hospital, medical clinic,
or other provider to patients.
(4) The Administrative Services Department may permit the hospital, medical
clinic, or other provider to apply a cost incurred in one year equally over a period
not to exceed five years upon finding that the hospital, medical clinic, or other
provider has demonstrated that the cost is reasonably expected to provide health
care quality improvements or support direct patient care during that period.
(d) (1) A hospital, medical clinic, or other provider may petition the Administrative
Services Department at any time for a determination that the acceptable payment amount
defined in Section 5.40.020(a) should be increased with respect that hospital, medical
clinic, or other provider.
(2) The Administrative Services Department may grant such a petition only upon finding
that an acceptable payment amount of 115 percent of the sum of the reasonable cost of
direct patient care and the pro rata health care quality improvement cost would be
confiscatory or otherwise unlawful as applied to that hospital, medical clinic, or other
provider.
(3) If the Administrative Services Department grants a petition pursuant to subdivision
(d)(2), it may adjust the number "115" in Section 5.40.020(a) to the lowest whole number
such that the resultant acceptable payment amount would not be unlawful. The
Administrative Services Department shall not increase the acceptable payment amount to
any amount greater than that minimally necessary under California and federal law. Any
variance granted pursuant to subdivision (d) shall be for a period of one fiscal year,
unless the petitioner demonstrates that a variance is likely to be required for subsequent
fiscal years, in which case the Department may grant a variance for up to five years.
(4) In a petition pursuant to subdivision (d), the burden shall be on the hospital, medical
clinic, or other provider to (i) prove that an acceptable payment amount of 115 percent of
the sum of the reasonable cost of direct patient care for a particular patient and the pro
rata health care quality improvement cost would be unlawful, and (ii) provide the
Administrative Services Department with all information necessary to determine the
lowest acceptable payment amount required by law.
Sec. 5.40.040 Implementation and Enforcement.
(a) The Administrative Services Department shall be authorized to coordinate
implementation and enforcement of this Chapter and shall promulgate appropriate
guidelines, regulations or rules for such purposes consistent with this Chapter. Such
guidelines, regulations or rules shall ensure that implementation of this Chapter is
consistent with the requirement of due process imposed by the California and United
States Constitutions and, as necessary, shall provide guidance concerning the process for
bringing a petition under this Chapter with the goals of minimizing the burden to the
petitioner and increasing the efficiency of the petition review process. Any guidelines,
p.7
Palo Alto Accountable and Affordable Health Care Initiative 10.30 2017
regulations or rules promulgated by the department shall have the force and effect of law.
The City shall appropriate to the Administrative Services Department sufficient funds to
enable the department to implement and enforce this Chapter.
(b) If a determination of a violation has been made, consistent with the requirements of
due process, and except where prohibited by state or federal law, the department may
request that City agencies or departments revoke or suspend any registration certificates,
permits or licenses held or requested by the violator until such time as the violation is
remedied. All City agencies and departments shall cooperate with revocation or
suspension requests from the department. A violation of this Chapter may also be
grounds for denying a hospital, medical clinic, or other provider a business license under
Municipal Code Section 4.04.140(a)(5).
(c) Violation of this Chapter shall be a misdemeanor. The department, the City
Attorney, any person aggrieved by a violation of this Chapter, any entity a member of
which is aggrieved by a violation of this Chapter, or any other person or entity acting on
behalf of the public as provided for under applicable state law, may bring a civil action in
a court of competent jurisdiction against a hospital, medical clinic, or other provider
violating this Chapter, or against the City for de novo review of a determination pursuant
to Section 5.4O.030(c) or (d), and, upon prevailing, shall be entitled to such legal or
equitable relief as may be appropriate including, without limitation, twice the amount of
the required rebate or reduction up to the maximum amount allowable by law and
injunctive relief, and shall be awarded reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses.
Provided, however, that any person or entity enforcing this Chapter on behalf of the
public as provided for under applicable state law shall, upon prevailing, be entitled only
to equitable, injunctive or restitutionary relief, and reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses. Nothing in this Chapter shall be interpreted as restricting, precluding, or
otherwise limiting a separate or concurrent criminal prosecution under the Municipal
Code or state law. Jeopardy shall not attach as a result of any administrative or civil
enforcement action taken pursuant to this Chapter.
Sec. 5.40.050 Severability.
The provisions of this Chapter are severable. If any provision of this Chapter or its application is
held invalid, that invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications that can be given
effect without the invalid provision or application.

Re: "Palo Alto Accountable and Affordable Health Care Initiative"
Dear Ms. Stump:
On behalf of Stanford Health Care ("SHC") and Palo Alto Medical Foundation
("PAMF"), this letter follows up on the resolutions adopted by the Palo Alto City Council at its
meeting on Monday, June 11, 2018, regarding the above -referenced initiative ("Initiative").
This sets forth the positions of SHC and PAMF as the council considers this matter again during
its June 18, 2018 meeting.
First, SHC and PAMF reiterate their request that the City Council authorize you as the
City Attorney to seek a court order confirming that the Initiative is unconstitutional and
otherwise unlawful and therefore should not be referred to the ballot. This is essentially the
action already taken by the City of Emeryville and is supported by the reasons stated in the letter
from SHC to you, dated June 6, 2018. The unprecedented Initiative is facially invalid for
numerous reasons, including due to direct conflicts with state and federal laws, including but not
limited to Knox -Keene Act regulations, 28 C.C.R. Section 1300.71, and the Affordable Care Act,
42 U.S.C. Section 300gg-19a(b)(1)(C)(ii)(I) and 45 C.F.R. Section 147.138(b).
Second, if the City Council is not prepared to authorize the filing of litigation against the
Initiative as stated above, SHC and PAMF request that the City Council not delay further its vote
to refer the Initiative to the November 6, 2018 ballot. As you know, absent a legal challenge by
the City, SHC and PAMF intend to file a court action seeking an order precluding the Initiative
from being placed on the ballot. A timely vote by the City Council to refer this matter to the
ballot should enable the court action to proceed in a more orderly manner.

Third, we intend to provide factual information related to the anticipated impact of the
Initiative on the City of Palo Alto. We are pleased that the City plans to conduct its own
impartial fiscal analysis with factual information provided from multiple sources. As previously
stated in Stanford's letter to you of June 1, 2018, the impact of the Initiative will be devastating
for all concerned, including the residents of Palo Alto, city administration, local businesses, and
Palo Alto health care providers. It will enrich insurance companies at the expense of the Palo
Alto health care system and the patients who rely on the care they receive in our community.
We will submit this information to you, unless you direct us otherwise. In the meantime, we
wanted to address a couple of preliminary points:
® The Initiative covers many more health care providers than SHC and PAMF. The
Initiative would limit the charges for individual physicians, psychiatrists, optometrists,
and dentists; medical clinics; medical groups; independent practice associations; in vitro
fertilization facilities; ambulatory surgery centers; risk -bearing organizations; and any
"other entity that delivers, furnishes, or otherwise arranges for or provides health care
services." Sec. 5.40.20(f) (incorporating Cal. Health & Safety Code, § 1375.4(0).
o SHC is conducting an in-depth study of the impact of the initiative and will have a report
to you when it is complete. Also, SHC is available to provide information or data to you
during the City's fiscal impact study. From a high level perspective, it is clear that
preparing an evaluation of every patient billing by providers covered by the Initiative will
be a massive undertaking. Currently SHC employes more than 300 people in its billing
department. In contrast, the City's proposed budget for 2019 includes 38.15 full time
employees in its Administrative Services Department, which the Initiative would task
with monitoring and oversight of patient billing. Many health care provider employees
will be required to perform the work mandated in the Initiative. What will be required of
the City is unknown, but one thing is certain —hundreds of people will be employed,
directly or through contracts, to audit hundreds of thousands of individual billings and
payments, as well as potential rebates. The amount of paperwork required by the
Initiative will be overwhelming to providers and the City.
Taking these points into account in any reports prepared will ensure that the City is fully
informed of the Initiative's likely impact. And the California Supreme Court has confirmed that
cities are authorized to order reports and detailed financial analyses studying a ballot measure's
impact even after directing the measure to be submitted to the voters. See Vargas v. City of
Salinas, 46 Cal. 4th 1, 10, 21-22, 36-37 (2009).

Health and Sanitation, to read:
Sec. 5.40.010 Pwpose and intent
It is the purpose and intent of this Chapter to provide for the orderly regulation of hospitals and
other health facilities, as defined in this Chapter, in the interests of the public health, safety and
welfare, by providing certain minimum standards and regulations regarding their operation. The
prices charged to patients and other payers have far-reaching effects on consumers purchasing
health care services and insurance, as well as taxpayers supporting public health and welfare
programs. Investments in quality of care improvements can benefit patients and caregivers, and
ultimately result in lower overall health care costs. For these reasons, and because neither the
State nor federal governments have yet done so, this Chapter seeks to impose reasonable limits
on prices that hospitals and other health facilities may charge and encourages further investment
in health care quality improvements.
Sec. 5.40.020 Defmitions.
For purposes of this Chapter the following terms have the following meanings:
p.I
(a) "Acceptable payment amount" means an amount equal to 115 percent of the sum of

other provider pays that are necessary to: maintain, access or exchange electronic health

pursuant to Section S.40.030(c).
(d) "Hospital,, means a hospital within the meaning of subdivision (a) of Section 1250 of

CITY OF PALO ALTO OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY
June 18, 2018
The Honorable City Council
Palo Alto, California
Adoption of a Resolution Placing a Measure on the November 6,2018
General Election Ballot to Increase the City’s Transient Occupancy Tax
(TOT) by Two Percentage Points
From: Joint Report of the City Clerk, City Manager and City Attorney
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached Resolution to submit a measure to the voters at the general
municipal election on November 6, 2018, to increase the City’s transient
occupancy tax (TOT) by two percentage points.
2. Direct staff whether to use ballot language conforming to currently-applicable
constitutional requirements, or requirements that would become effective if a
statewide measure to amend the California Constitution and impose new
procedures on local tax measures is adopted by California voters at the
November 6, 2018 election.
Background
The Council Infrastructure Plan was adopted in June 2014 in response to decades of inadequate
funding for maintenance and renewal of Palo Alto’s infrastructure assets. Significant progress
has been made toward the Plan’s implementation, but construction cost escalation, project
scope increases, and refined cost estimates have resulted in a current funding gap of
approximately $76 million. At the City Council’s direction from January 2018, the Finance
Committee has been reviewing the funding gap identified and potential strategies for closing it,
including reprioritizing the Council Infrastructure Plan projects, reducing project scopes,
reprioritizing projects within the overall capital improvement fund, allocating new revenues,
and increasing taxes. The Committee and the City Council met a total of four times to discuss
the funding needs for capital investments and directed two rounds of polling for potential
revenue generating ballot measures. Staff reports considered by the Committee and the City
Council during this process are referenced below. Ultimately on June 4, 2018, the City Council
directed staff to return with language for a Transient Occupancy Tax Measure for the
November 2018 election.
CMR 8927 (https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/63293)
CMR 9039 (https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/64128)

CMR 9107 (https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/64561)
CMR 9322 (https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/65319)
On June 4, 2018 (CMR 9322), the Council reviewed results from a refined public opinion survey
conducted by Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz and Associates (FM3 Research). The refined
survey tested sample ballot measure language for three potential tax measures: increasing the
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), increasing the Documentary Transfer Tax, and adopting a new
Sugar Sweetened Beverage Tax.
Council directed staff to return with ballot measure language to increase the TOT. Council asked
staff to prepare a measure to increase the TOT by two percentage points, from 14% to 16%.
Council also asked staff to explore and, if feasible, prepare an alternative consisting of two
separate ballot measures: (1) a measure to increase the TOT by one percentage point, from
14% to 15%, and; (2) a separate measure establishing a tax on transients for the privilege of
occupancy in any hotel, in the amount of 1% of the hotel rent.
A measure on the statewide ballot may have some bearing on the TOT increase. The California
Business Roundtable circulated and qualified a measure for the November 6, 2018 state ballot,
called “The Tax Fairness, Transparency, and Accountability Act of 2018” (“the California
Business Roundtable Initiative” or “CBRI Initiative”). The CBRI Initiative would amend the
California Constitution in a number of ways, including:
Requiring two-thirds voter approval to raise any and all new local taxes. Currently, local taxes for
general purposes may pass by a simple majority vote, while only taxes dedicated to a special
purpose require a supermajority vote.
Requiring that tax ballot measures include specific language describing how revenues can be
spent.
The CBRI Initiative states that it applies retroactively to all taxes adopted after January 1, 2018.
The schedule for the November 6, 2018 election is as follows:
August 10, 2018: Deadline for submitting measure to the County
August 14, 2018: Deadline for arguments in favor of and against a measure
August 21, 2018: Deadline for rebuttal arguments and impartial analysis
Discussion
Adopt Resolution Calling Election on 2% TOT Increase or Provide Other Direction. Before
Council for adoption is a resolution placing an ordinance on the ballot to increase the TOT rate
by two percentage points, from 14% to 16%. In the alternative, Council has the authority to
revise the attached resolution and ordinance to reflect a lesser increase.
Provide Direction on Whether the Ballot Language Should Comply with the CBRI. Council
should also direct staff whether to use ballot language conforming to currently-applicable
Page 3
constitutional requirements, or use alternative language that satisfies requirements that would
become effective if the CBRI Initiative is adopted by California voters at the November 6, 2018
election.
Following are two potential versions of the ballot language. The first version complies with
currently-applicable legal requirements. The second has been adjusted to comply with the
terms of the CBRI Initiative. The differences are italicized and underlined.
NO CBRI: “To provide funding for vital City services such as ensuring a
modern, stable 911 emergency communications network, earthquake
safe fire stations, and emergency command center; improving pedestrian
and bicyclist safety; ensuring safe routes to schools; maintaining City
streets, roads, sidewalks; and other City services, shall the City of Palo
Alto adopt an ordinance increasing the transient occupancy tax paid by
hotel, motel, short-term rental guests by 2%, providing approximately
$3.4 million annually until ended by voters, subject to annual audits?”
WITH CBRI: “To provide funding for vital City services such as ensuring a
modern, stable 911 emergency communications network, earthquake
safe fire stations, and emergency command center; improving pedestrian
and bicyclist safety; ensuring safe routes to schools; maintaining City
streets, roads, and sidewalks; and for unrestricted general revenue
purposes, shall the City of Palo Alto adopt an ordinance increasing the
transient occupancy tax paid by hotel, motel, short-term rental guests by
2%, providing approximately $3.4 million annually until ended by voters,
subject to annual audits?”
If the TOT ballot language complies with the CBRI and passes with a two-thirds supermajority, it
will be effective even if the CBRI initiative is adopted. If the CBRI language is not used, however,
and the CBRI Initiative passes, the TOT increase could be subject to a legal challenge and
determined to be unenforceable.
FM3 polled potential voters using both of the above ballot questions. The poll results showed
some reduction in support for the TOT increase when the CBRI Initiative language is used.
1% TOT Plus 1% Visitor Tax Not Feasible. At Council’s direction, staff explored the feasibility of
two separate ballot measures: (1) a measure to increase the TOT by one percentage point, from
14% to 15%, and; (2) a separate measure establishing a tax on transients for the privilege of
occupancy in any hotel, in the amount of 1% of the hotel rent. A number of California cities
have adopted tourist or visitor’s bureau charges that appear on the hotel bill in addition to a
TOT. In most cases, these tourist charges have been established as special assessment districts.
Establishing a special assessment district requires procedural and substantive steps that cannot
be implemented in the time available before the November 2018 election. Staff considered
whether a distinct new tax on temporary visitors may be adopted by voters in a charter city
Page 4
under the city’s constitutional authority to make and enforce ordinances respecting municipal
affairs. While theoretically possible, there are a number of concerns that would arise from a
separate and new tax that applies to the same activity, in the same way, as the City’s existing
TOT. The existence of two separate but identical (except for the name) tax ordinances has the
potential to create confusion and ambiguity with the public, at the ballot box, in the
administration and enforcement of the new tax, and in court if a challenge were filed. For
these reasons, staff concluded that the two-tax alternative is infeasible.
Resource Impact
A 2% increase to the TOT is estimated to result in an annual $3.4 million increase in revenue. A
1% increase to the TOT would result in $1.7 annually.
If a 2% increase is approved and the implementation date is January 1, 2019 then the City
would earn an estimated $1.7 million for the 6 month period in FY 2019.
If the City were to leverage against a 2% increase (assumed at 70 percent of the annual
estimated revenue), proceeds are estimated to be $33 million.
The estimated cost of the November 2018 election including this potential ballot measure, 2-3
additional ballot measures, the 3 vacant seats on the City Council, and translation into several
languages is approximately $125,000. The FY 2019 Budget currently includes funding of
$100,000.
Environmental Review
This is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act.

2 of the Palo Alto Municipal Code Relating to the Transient Occupancy Tax
The People of the City of Palo Alto do ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Chapter 2.33 of the Palo Alto Municipal Code is hereby amended by
amending Chapter 2.33 as follows:
Chapter 2.33
TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX
2.33.010 Definitions.
2.33.020 Tax imposed.
2.33.030 Exemptions.
2.33.040 Operator's duties.

2.33.010 Definitions.
Except where the context otherwise requires, the definitions given in this section govern the
construction of this chapter:
(a) "Person" means any individual, firm, partnership, joint venture, association, social club,
fraternal organization, joint stock company, corporation, estate, trust, business trust, receiver,
trustee, syndicate, or any other group or combination acting as a unit.
(b) "Hotel" means any structure, or any portion of any structure, in the City of Palo Alto
which is occupied or intended or designed for occupancy by transients for dwelling, lodging or
sleeping purposes, and includes any hotel, inn, tourist home or house, motel, studio hotel,
bachelor hotel, lodging house, morning house, apartment, house, dormitory, public or private
2
club, mobilehome or house trailer at a fixed location, or other similar structure or portion
thereof, even if such structure is also used for other purposes, including residential purposes.
(c) "Occupancy" means the use or possession, or the right to the use or possession, of any
room or rooms or portion thereof in any hotel for dwelling, lodging or sleeping purposes.
(d) "Transient" means any person who exercises occupancy or is entitled to occupancy by
reason of concession, permit, right of access, license or other agreement for a period of thirty
consecutive days or less, counting portions of calendar days as full days. Any such person so
occupying space in a hotel shall be deemed to be a transient until the period of thirty days has
expired unless there is an agreement in writing between the operator and the occupant
providing for a longer period of occupancy.
(e) "Rent" means the total consideration paid by a transient, for the occupancy of space in a
hotel, whether or not received by the operator, including, without limitation, transaction
service fees and any unrefunded advance reservation or other rental deposit. For purposes of
this definition, rent shall be valued in money, whether it is received in money, goods, labor or
otherwise, including all receipts, cash, credits and property and services of any kind or nature,
without any deduction therefrom whatsoever.
(f) "Operator" means the person who is the proprietor of the hotel, whether in the capacity
of owner, lessee, sublessee, mortgagee in possession, licensee, or any other capacity. Where
the operator performs his or her functions through a managing agent of any type or character
(other than an employee), the managing agent shall also be deemed an operator for the
purposes of this chapter and shall have the same duties and liabilities as his or her principal.
Compliance with the provisions of this chapter by either the principal or the managing agent
shall, however, be considered to be compliance by both.
(g) “Rental agent” means any person other than an operator who collects rent from a transient
for the transient’s occupancy of a hotel.
2.33.020 Tax imposed.
For the privilege of occupancy in any hotel, each transient is subject to and shall pay a tax in
the amount of fourteen sixteen percent of the rent paid by the transient. Said tax constitutes a
debt owed by the transient to the city, which is extinguished only by payment to the operator
or to the city or to a rental agent pursuant to section 2.33.140. The transient shall pay the tax
to the operator at the time the rent is paid. If the rent is paid in installments, a proportionate
share of the tax shall be made with each installment. Any unpaid tax shall be due upon the
transient's ceasing occupancy in the hotel. If for any reason the tax due is not paid to the
operator, the supervisor of revenue collections may require that such tax shall be paid directly
to the supervisor of revenue collections.
3
2.33.030 Exemptions.
No tax shall be imposed upon:
(a) Any person as to whom, or any occupancy as to which, it is beyond the power of the city
to impose the tax herein provided;
(b) Any officer or employee of a foreign government who is exempt by reason of express
provision of federal law or international treaty;
(c) Any federal or state of California officer or employee on official business who shall pay
rent by warrant or check drawn on the treasury of the United States or the state of California or
provides written evidence of such official business on a form approved in a dvance by the
supervisor of revenue collections. Copies of the documentation for each exemption claimed
must be submitted to the supervisor of revenue collections with each return made pursuant to
Section 2.33.060.
No exemption shall be granted under this section except upon a claim therefor made at the
time rent is collected and under penalty of perjury upon a form prescribed by the supervisor of
revenue collections. Additionally, a copy of such warrant or check and a copy of such claim form
shall be submitted with each return made pursuant to Section 2.33.060.
2.33.040 Operator's duties.
Each operator shall collect the tax imposed by this ordinance to the same extent and at the
same time as the rent is collected from every transient. The amount of tax shall be separately
stated from the amount of the rent charged, and each transient shall receive a receipt for
payment from the operator. No operator shall advertise or state in any manner, whether
directly or indirectly, that the tax or any part thereof will be assumed or absorbed by the
operator, or that it will not be added to the rent, or that, if added, any part will be refunded
except in the manner hereinafter provided.
2.33.050 Registration.
(a) Within ten days after commencing business, each new or unregistered operator of any
hotel renting occupancy to transients shall present a valid certificate of occupancy issued by the
building official pursuant to Title 16 and apply for registration of said hotel with the supervisor
of revenue collections who will issue a "Transient Occupancy Registration Certificate" to be at
all times posted in a conspicuous place on the premises by such registrant or any operator
previously registered. The application shall require such information as the supervisor of
revenue collections deems necessary or convenient to the collection of the tax imposed by this
chapter. The supervisor of revenue collections may require updating of application information
from time to time as he or she deems necessary or advisable. Registration under this section
shall lapse with the certificate of occupancy upon which it was issued. Said certificate shall,
among other things, state the following:
(1) The name of the operator;
(2) The address of the hotel;
4
(3) The date upon which the certificate was issued;
(4) "This Transient Occupancy Registration Certificate signifies that the person named on the
face hereof has fulfilled the requirements of Chapter 2.33 of the Palo Alto Municipal Code
'Transient Occupancy Tax' by registering with the supervisor of revenue collections for the
purpose of collecting from transients the Transient Occupancy Tax and remitting said tax to the
supervisor of revenue collections. This certificate does not authorize any person to conduct any
unlawful business or to conduct any lawful business in an unlawful manner, or to operate a
hotel without strictly complying with all local applicable laws, including but not limited to those
requiring a permit from any board, commission, department or office of this city. This
certificate does not constitute a permit and is not transferable to a different operator."
2.33.060 Reporting and remitting.
Each operator shall, on or before the last day of the month following the close of the previous
calendar month, or at the close of any shorter reporting period which may be established by
the supervisor of revenue collections, make a return to the supervisor of revenue collections on
forms provided by him or her of the total rents charged to transients and the total rents paid by
transients and the amount of tax collected for transient occupancies. If no tax was due or
collected during the previous reporting period, the operator shall file a return so stating under
penalty of perjury. At the time the return is filed, the full amount of the tax collected shall be
remitted to the supervisor of revenue collections. The supervisor of revenue collections may
establish shorter reporting periods for any certificate holder if he or she deems it necessary in
order to ensure collection of the tax, and he or she may require further information in the
return. Returns and payments are due immediately upon cessation of business for any reason.
All taxes collected by operators pursuant to this chapter shall be held in trust for the account of
the city until payment thereof is made to the supervisor of revenue collections.
2.33.070 Penalties.
(a) Original Delinquency. Any operator who fails to remit any tax imposed by this chapter
within the time required shall pay a penalty of ten percent of the amount of the tax which
penalty amount shall be added to the amount of the tax, for purposes of calculating additional
penalties.
(b) Continued Delinquency. Any operator who fails to remit any delinquent remittance on or
before a period of thirty days following the date on which the remittance first became
delinquent shall pay a second delinquency penalty of ten percent of the amount of the tax
including the ten percent penalty first imposed.
(c) Fraud or Misrepresentation. If the director of finance, in his or her judgment. determines
that the nonpayment of any remittance due under this chapter is due to intentional conduct,
misrepresentation or fraud, a penalty of twenty-five percent of the amount of the tax shall be
added thereto in addition to the penalties stated in subsections (a) and (b) of this section.
(d) Additional Penalty. In addition to the penalties imposed under subsections (a) and (b) of
this section, any operator who fails to remit any tax imposed by this chapter shall pay a penalty
of one percent per month or fraction thereof, whichever is less, on the amount of the tax from
the date on which the remittance first became delinquent until paid.
5
(e) Penalties Merged with Tax. Every penalty imposed and such additional penalties as
accrue under the provisions of this section shall become a part of the tax herein required to be
paid.
2.33.080 Failure to collect and report tax; determination of tax by supervisor of revenue
collections.
If any operator fails or refuses to collect said tax and to make, within the time provided in this
chapter, any report and remittance of said tax or any portion thereof required by this chapter,
the supervisor of revenue collections shall proceed in such manner as he or she may deem best
to obtain facts and information on which to base his or her estimate of the tax due. As soon as
the supervisor of revenue collections shall procure such facts and information as he or she is
able to obtain upon which to base the assessment of any tax imposed by this chapter and
payable by any operator who has failed or refused to collect the same and to make such report
and remittance, he or she shall proceed to determine and assess against such operator the tax
and penalties provided by this chapter. In case such determination is made, the supervisor of
revenue and collections shall give a notice of the amount so assessed by sending it personally
or by depositing it in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the operator so
assessed at his or her last known place of address.
Such operator may within fourteen days after serving or mailing of such notice make
application in writing to the supervisor of revenue collections for a hearing on the amount
assessed. If application by an operator is not made within the time prescribed, the tax and
penalties, if any, determined by the supervisor of revenue collections to be due shall become
final and conclusive and immediately due and payable. If such application is made, the
supervisor of revenue collections shall give not less than ten days' written notice in the manner
prescribed herein to the operator to show cause at a time and place fixed in said notice why
said amount specified therein should not be fixed for such tax and penalties. At such hearing,
the operator may appear and offer evidence why such specified tax and penalties should not be
so fixed. After such hearing, the supervisor of revenue collections shall determine the proper
tax to be remitted and shall thereafter give written notice to the operator in the manner
prescribed herein of such determination and the amount of such tax and penalties. The amount
determined to be due shall be payable after twenty days of the serving or mailing of such
determination unless an appeal is taken as provided in Section 2.33.090.
2.33.090 Appeal.
Any operator aggrieved by any decision of the supervisor of revenue and collections with
respect to the amount of such tax and penalties, if any, may appeal to the director of finance or
his or her designee by filing a notice of appeal with the city clerk within twenty days of the
serving or mailing of the determination of tax due. The director of finance or the designee shall
fix a time and place for hearing of such appeal, and give notice in writing to such operator at his
or her last known place of address. The findings of the director of finance or the designee shall
be final and conclusive and shall be served upon the appellant in the manner prescribed above
for service of notice of hearing. Any amount found to be due shall be immediately due and
payable upon the service of notice.
6
2.33.100 Records.
It shall be the duty of every operator liable for the collection and payment to the city of any
tax imposed by this chapter to keep and preserve all records as may be necessary to determine
the amount of such tax as he or she may have been liable for the collection of and payment to
the city. Said records shall be kept or made available at one location within the limits of the city
for a period of three years. The supervisor of revenue collections and/or city auditor or their
designee shall have the right at any and all reasonable times, to examine and audit said records
for the purpose of determining the accuracy thereof.
2.33.110 Refunds.
(a) Claim Required. Prior to seeking judicial relief with respect to a dispute regarding the
amount of any tax, penalty, or interest collected or received by the city under this chapter, an
aggrieved taxpayer, fee payer, operator, transient or any other person must comply with the
provisions of section 2.28.230 of this code.
(b) Operators. An operator may claim as an overpayment any tax previously paid which was
calculated on the basis of taxable consideration written off by the operator as a bad de bt in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and claimed as a deduction on a
federal income tax return in accordance with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and
regulations issued pursuant thereto. The bad debt claim may be taken as an adjustment to
future taxes due the city after the operator's procedure and forms for adjustment of bad debt

June 18, 2018
The Honorable City Council
Palo Alto, California
General Municipal Election on November 6, 2018 Informational
Report Regarding Schedules, Fees and Length of Candidate Statements
RECOMMENDATIONS
This is an informational report. The City Clerk is required to bring to your
attention various options regarding fees and length of candidates'
statements.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1. Filing Fee
Pursuant to Palo Alto Municipal Code Section 2.40.030, Filing of
nomination petitions, "Any person otherwise qualified may be a
candidate for an elective office at any election, regular or special, by
filing with the clerk within the time prescribed in the Elections Code of
California a petition signed by at least twenty -five qualified and
registered voters. Any duly established candidacy filing fee shall be
waived for each candidate who files a petition signed by at least four
qualified or registered voters for each dollar of such filing fee."
Palo Alto charges a fee of $25 for filing nomination papers. If a
candidate wishes to waive the filing fee, the nomination petition would
require 100 qualified registered voters' signatures.
2. Charges for Candidates' Statements
California Elections Code Section 13307 provides that before the
General Municipal Election nomination period opens, the City Council
shall determine whether a charge is to be levied for printing and
mailing candidates' statements in the sample ballot. The Santa Clara
County Registrar of Voters has indicated that for this November
General Municipal Election, the cost for a candidates' statement of 200
words is estimated to be $2,100.
California Elections Code Section 13307 also permits the City Council
to increase the number of words allowed in a candidate's statement
from 200 to 400. The estimated cost for the candidate statement
would then increase to $3,048.
Page 2
FISCAL IMPACT
As in past practice, unless a Council Member agendizes any of these items
by June 22, 2018, the City Clerk's Office will charge no fee for candidates'
statements of up to 200 words for the 2018 General Municipal Election and
the City will absorb the cost.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
None.

GENERAL ELECTION CALENDAR
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2018
TO BE CONSOLIDATED WITH GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION
This election calendar has been prepared to assist persons interested in running for the 3 vacant seats on
the council, for the General Election to be held November 6, 2018. It is not intended to be a complete
statement of the law governing elections. Those participating in campaigns should be advised that the
law on elections is legion and is primarily located in the California Elections Code.
Candidates and committees supporting candidates or measures in the City of Palo Alto must also comply
with Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC) Chapter 2.40. Of special importance is PAMC Section 2.40.040,
which requires the City Clerk to publish the names of the contributors of $50 or more. State law requires
disclosure of contributions of $100 or more. To facilitate the disclosure process, contributions of $50 or
more may be shown on the State campaign statements and will thus satisfy both the municipal as well as
State law disclosure regulations. Statements, which do not disclose contrib utors and contributions of $50
or more, will be considered incomplete and will not be accepted for filing.
Anonymous contributions totaling $50 or more in a calendar year are not permitted. Anonymous
contributions between $50 and $100 shall be deposited with the City Clerk and shall not be kept by the
candidate (PAMC Section 2.40.050). Anonymous contributions over $100 shall be paid to the Secretary of
State for deposit in the General Fund of the State (GC 84304).

Summary T itle: CIP Projects Update
Title: Semiannual Update on the Status of Capital Improvement Program
Projects
From: City Manager
Lead Department: Public Works
Recommendation
This report is provided for information only and requires no Council action.
Background
The purpose of this report is to provide Council with an update on the status of
capital improvement program (CIP) projects. Prior to 2016, year-end and mid-
year financial reports included very simplistic status updates on CIP projects. This
is the fourth issuance of a report intending to provide more useful information for
Council. The report includes general fund and all enterprise fund projects. The
project budget information presented is from the FY 2018 capital budget, except
for the Council Infrastructure Plan projects, which include the FY 2019 proposed
capital budget amounts for the total project budget.
Discussion
Project Update Organization
The City has a robust capital improvement program, and a large number of
individual projects are in progress at any given time. The attached CIP project
tables are intended to give Council a quick overview of each project, including
budgetary information, the anticipated completion date, a brief description of the
project scope, the current status of the project, and upcoming activities including
Council actions.
City of Palo Alto Page 2
The 2014 Council Infrastructure Plan is a major focus of staff’s capital
improvement program efforts. The following Infrastructure Plan projects are in
progress and are described individually in the project updates:
·New Public Safety Building (PE-15001)
·Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan Implementation (PL-04010)
·New Downtown Parking Garage (PE-15007)
·New California Avenue Area Parking Garage (PE-18000)
·Charleston/Arastradero Corridor Project (PE-13011)
·Fire Station 3 Replacement (PE-15003)
·Highway 101 Pedestrian/Bicycle Overpass Project (PE-11011)
Future updates to Council will include General Fund CIP reports from the
Infrastructure Management System (IMS) detailing where capital investments are
being made and updating the status of the backlog of “catch-up” capital work.
The following are some of the key considerations for the information presented in
the project update tables:
·The status information is current as of the June 2018 timeframe
·The individual project tables align with the Capital Improvement Fund
categories in the FY 2018-2022 capital budget: Buildings and Facilities,
Parks and Open Space, Streets and Sidewalks, and Traffic and
Transportation. Enterprise Fund projects follow the order of their
respective Fund in the capital budget
·Additional project information is available in the FY 2018-2022 capital
budget
·Cubberley Property Infrastructure Fund projects are included in the
Buildings and Facilities table
·Each project table is divided into a section for one-time projects and a
section for recurring projects that have annual ongoing funding
·Budgetary figures include staff salaries and benefits for projects to which
salaries and benefits have been allocated
Completed Projects
