Proclamation
JUNETEENTH FREEDOM DAY
WHEREAS, June 19th is declared as Juneteenth Freedom Day, a nationally recognized day which celebrates the
rich culture, legacy and heritage of Black and African American people;
WHEREAS, 2023 marks the 158th year of Juneteenth Freedom Day with Juneteenth being the oldest known
celebration commemorating the abolition of slavery in the United States, dating back to June 19, 1865 when Union
soldiers led by Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended, freeing
the enslaved; and
WHEREAS, this was two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation which
became official on January 1, 1863; and
WHEREAS, the U.S. Congress—between 1865 and 1870—would pass key amendments to the U.S. Constitution,
that upon ratification by each state, would profoundly change the legal status of those once enslaved. The thirteenth
amendment abolished bonded servitude, the fourteenth amendment conferred citizenship upon those once enslaved,
and, finally, the fifteenth amendment enfranchised men once held in bondage; and
WHEREAS, today, Juneteenth Freedom Day celebrates Black and African American people’s freedom and
achievement, while encouraging continuous self-development and respect for all cultures, as it takes on a more
national, symbolic, and even global perspective; and
WHEREAS, annual Juneteenth celebrations are held throughout the Bay Area—in cities such as San Francisco,
Oakland, San Jose, and as close as East Palo Alto, where a Juneteenth Food & Music Festival will take place on
Saturday, June 17, 2023 at Bell Street Park; and
WHEREAS, East Palo Alto is also home to Live in Peace, a non-profit organization centered around empowering
at-risk youth and young adults to reclaim the vision for their future, which serves the East Palo Alto and Palo Alto
communities; and
WHEREAS, as part of their mission, Live in Peace “shows that deep community roots and a family-style
approach can support young people facing economic insecurity and unequal access to opportunity;” and
WHEREAS, Palo Alto, largely inspired by local non-profits such as Live in Peace, continues the journey of
addressing racial inequities and focusing on efforts to increase diversity, inclusion, and belonging as expressed in the
City of Palo Alto’s Equity Mission Statement.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Lydia Kou, Mayor of the City of Palo Alto on behalf of the entire City Council, do
hereby recognize and celebrate June 19th as Juneteenth Freedom Day, and call upon our community to reaffirm our
commitment to eradicating hate, racism, and inequity and continuing the work of equity, justice, and hope.

Approval of a Purchase Order with The Public Restroom Company in the Amount of $369,749 to
Provide and Install a Modular Restroom Building at the Cubberley Community Center Fields for
the Cubberley Field Restroom Capital Project (CB-17002); CEQA status – exempt under CEQA
Guidelines Section 15303
RECOMMENDATION
Approve and authorize the City Manager or their designee to execute Purchase Order No.
C23187750 with The Public Restroom Company in an amount not to exceed $369,749, including
$336,136 for basic services and $33,613 for additional services, for the purchase of a modular
park restroom building for the Cubberley Community Center Fields for the Cubberley Field
Restroom project, Capital Improvement Program Project (CB-17002).
BACKGROUND
The Cubberley Community Center (Cubberley) field is the City’s largest field complex and
includes soccer and softball fields, tennis courts, and a running track. There are currently only
two portable restrooms available onsite. A permanent restroom is a much-needed facility to
accommodate the heavy field usage. The City currently owns eight acres, and the Palo Alto
Unified School District (PAUSD) owns 27 acres at Cubberley. The proposed restroom will be
located on the property owned by the PAUSD between the sports fields and the running track.
The restroom location has been coordinated with the PAUSD. The restroom location was
determined based on its proximity to the fields and community input, and it will primarily serve
the City’s sports fields users. It is possible that the prefabricated restroom could be moved in
the future should discussions of land allocations between the City and PAUSD make an
alternative location desirable.
The Cubberley Field Restroom project (CB-17002) began in 2018 and was postponed due to
staffing constraints. The project originally included a two-stall restroom building. Based on the
input received from the community, a four-stall restroom in the proposed location was
preferred to accommodate the heavy usage of the fields. A lift station is also needed to pump
sanitary sewage from the restroom to the City’s sewer on Nelson Drive.

ANALYSIS
The Public Restroom Company provides modular restrooms at public facilities and provided
such restrooms for the City in 2017 as part of the Palo Alto Municipal Golf Course
Reconfiguration Project. On April 10, 2023, Council approved a Purchase Order with The Public
Restroom Company to provide two-stall restroom buildings at Rinconada and Ramos Parks.1
The restroom at Cubberley will consist of four universal stalls and will be approximately 12 feet
by 27 feet in size. It will automatically lock at 10pm, be cleaned daily, and have security lighting.
The estimated fabrication time for the modular restroom building is approximately 12 months.
Staff proposes a piggyback contract procurement process as permitted under Palo Alto
Municipal Code section 2.30.360(k), allowing the use of another governmental agency’s
contract or substantially the same contract terms and exempting the competitive solicitation
requirements to purchase the modular building. Purchase Order No. C231877502 incorporates
the City of Los Angeles Contract with the Public Restroom Company. The City’s Procurement
Officer has determined that the City of Los Angeles solicitation process is substantially similar to
the City’s and that the City has good experience with the quality and aesthetics of the modular
restroom provided by The Public Restroom Company at the golf course. This approach would
allow staff to purchase the modular restroom building directly from the vendor, rather than
have a one-year or longer lead time following completion of the bidding process for both design
and construction, and Council approval of a construction contract. The offsite building
prefabrication would be cost-effective and would reduce onsite construction time compared to
the traditional design/bid/build process. Prior to completion of the building fabrication, staff
will complete a bidding process to award a construction contract for site preparation, pump
station installation, and utilities work for the building installation. The restroom is anticipated
to be installed by summer/fall of 2024.
The cost of the prefabricated restroom building is comparable to previous restroom buildings at
City facilities with consideration of cost escalation. For example, the cost of prefabricated
restroom buildings and installation for Briones Park and the Golf Course were approximately
$120,000 in 2012 and $170,000 in 2017, respectively. In general, the cost of prefabricated
restroom buildings has escalated at an average 7-8% per year over the last decade with
continued material price increases and market conditions. Staff also collected available data of
prefabricated restroom buildings provided by the Public Restroom Company to other municipal
agencies in the region, and found the costs comparable to the proposed restroom at Cubberley.
For example, the cost of a four-stall prefabricated restroom in the City of Fremont’s California
Nursery Historical Park was approximately $600,000 in 2022 and the cost of a two-stall
prefabricated restroom in the City of East Palo Alto’s Cooley Landing Park was approximately
$250,000 in 2018.

Staff recommends approval of Purchase Order No. C23187750 with the Public Restroom
Company for the purchase of the modular restroom building which includes cost of building
fabrication, installation, all required state inspections and approval, and bonds. The scope of
work for the restroom building can be seen in Attachment A.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
The total purchase order with Public Restroom Company is $369,749, which includes $336,136
for basic services and $33,613 for additional services. Funding for the purchase recommended
in this memo is primarily available in the Fiscal Year 2023 Adopted Capital Improvement
Program Cubberley Field Restroom project (CB-17002). Additional funding for site preparation,
installation of a lift station, and utilities for the restroom is included in the Fiscal Year 2024
Proposed Capital budget. Both the Fiscal Year 2023 and Fiscal Year 2024 funding amounts are
from the Cubberley Property Infrastructure Fund. Approval of this purchase order is contingent
on approval and adoption of the Fiscal Year 2024 Capital budget, which is currently scheduled
for June 19, 2023. This work will be constructed by a contractor to be determined through a bid
solicitation process.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
On August 17, 2022, staff held a community meeting to review the proposed restroom location
and building style. Due to limited attendance, staff conducted an online survey to obtain
community input. The survey results can be viewed on City’s Park Restrooms webpage.3
Staff presented the community survey results, restroom location options, and a 4-stall restroom
option to the Parks and Recreation Commission (PRC) on January 24, 2023.4 The PRC and the
community supported the 4-stall restroom in the proposed location. In May 2023, a minor
Architectural Review Board approval was provided for the restroom.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The installation of a modular restroom building is categorically exempt from California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15303 (New Construction of Small Structures)
of the CEQA guidelines.

improved site, Owner should stop site watering several days before delivery to minimize the impact on
the soils for the heavy equipment needed for installation.
Caution: If site is not ready for our field crew to perform their installation and if no notice of delay in
readiness from Owner/General Contractor is received, PRC will provide a change order for re-
mobilization on a daily basis until the site is ready for us. Ready means that the site pad is completed,
the corner required survey stakes are in place, the slab elevation stakes are in place, the location of
the front of the building is confirmed on site, and access to the site is available from an improved
roadway. Owner/General Contractor shall sign the change order before we will continue delivery.
Public Restroom Company will “turn-key” set the buildings including the hook up of utilities inside the
building (only) when they are available. PRC will use its own factory trained staff for the installation.
Utility Connections:
1. PRC to complete all internal building plumbing connections and connections from the electrical
panel to building’s fixtures. The Owner/ Contractor is responsible for making the final plumbing
connections at the 6’ POC locations.
2. The Owner/Contractor is responsible for pulling the wire and completing the final tie-in to the
electrical panel from the 6’ POC location.
3. The Owner/Contractor is responsible for commissioning the building once final utility
connections are made. This includes flushing & testing all water service lines before final
startup.
Special Conditions, Permits, and Inspection Fees:
Follow any published specifications governing local building procedures for applicable building permit
fees, health department fees, all inspection fees, site concrete testing fees, and compaction tests, if
required by Owner. PRC is responsible for all required State inspections and final State insignia
certification of the building, if applicable.
Jurisdiction for Off-site Work:
Jurisdiction, for permitting and inspection of this building shall be either the State agency who manages
prefabricated building compliance in the state or the local CBO (when the State does not provide
certification.) If the responsibility for building inspection is the local CBO, we will provide a certified plan
set, calculations, and a third-party engineer inspection report for any and all closed work the local
official cannot see.
PUBLIC RESTROOM COMPANY SCOPE OF WORK:
Our In Plant/Off-Site Construction Scheduling System:
PRC has several off-site manufacturing centers in the United States, strategically located, with the
proper equipment and trained staff to fabricate our custom buildings to our high-quality fit and finish
standards. PRC manages quality control in our off-site production facility to comply with the approved
drawings and provides an inspection certification and photos as required. When proprietary materials,

which we have designed and fabricated, are part of the project, PRC supplies the manufacturing centers
with these proprietary PRC components. We then schedule the in-plant construction process to
coordinate with your delivery date through our Operations Division field staff. We guaranty on time at
cost delivery weather permitting.
Special Payment and Progress Billing Terms:
Invoicing begins on the 30th of the month following an order and/or the acceptance of the proposal/contract.
The first progress billing invoice will be issued for the commencement of design and engineering of
architectural plans. This will be 10% of the contracted amount. Once construction begins invoicing will
commence monthly based on plant percentage of completion, supported by photographs.
In the event of project stoppage, additional fees may be assessed for re-mobilization, storage, crane
costs, etc. Our discounted project costs are based upon timely payments. Delays in payment could
change delivery schedules and project costs.
Delivery and Installation:
Site Inspection:
PRC staff, upon site arrival, will verify the required dimensions of the building pad and the corner
locations/elevation. We will also verify the delivery path from an accessible road or street and install the
underground utilities to the point of connection nominally 6’ from the exterior of the building.
Installation:
PRC will install the building turn-key, except for any exclusion (listed under “Exclusions,” herein.)
Installation of Utilities under the Prefabricated Building:
We fabricate off-site an underground utilities (water, and DWV piping and fittings) preassembled
plumbing and electrical tree. Our site staff will set the underground tree into code depth excavated
trenches and our staff will install the coarse concrete sand to bed the piping per our submitted drawing.
We provide all the buildings under-slab piping including the driven electrical ground rod. The
Owner/General Contractor brings utility services to within 6’ of the pad and are responsible for final
connections at that point.
Connection of Utilities Post Building Placement:
After placement of the building on the pad by PRC, our field staff will tie in the water and sewer
connection “inside” the building only and terminate at a point of connection (POC) outside the building
clearly marked for each utility service. The Owner/General Contractor is responsible for final utility point
of service connections at the nominal 6’ from building locations.
Electrical:
PRC provides the electrical conduit to the POC 6’ from the building. The Owner/General Contractor pulls
the wire and ties it off on the electrical panel.

Plumbing:
PRC provides the POC up to 6’ from the building footprint and the Owner/General Contractor connects
the water to our stub out location.
Sewer:
Some sites depending on the local jurisdiction will require an outside house trap which Owner/General
Contractor shall install if needed. PRC will provide you with a sewer point of connection including a clean
out to which Owner/General Contractor will terminate the site sewer service.
Testing of Water, Sewer, and Electrical in Plant and Final Site Utility Connection:
Before the building leaves the manufacturing center, PRC certifies a pressure water piping test, DWV,
and the electrical connections for compliance with code. While the building is fully tested for leaks at
the plant before shipment, road vibration may loosen some plumbing slip fittings and require tightening
once the building services (water) is completed. Owner/General Contractor is responsible for minor
fitting tightening to handle small slip fitting leaks caused by transportation.
Time of Completion:
PRC estimates a 240 calendar day schedule to complete our scope of work from receipt of written notice
to proceed together with signed approved architectural submittals; Including final construction
documents and structural calculations from all authorities required to approve them.
Exclusions/Exceptions:
1. Access issues for delivery of the building by a clear unobstructed path of travel from an
improved roadway to the final installation pad or foundation may cause site delays and
extra cost at each site. This exclusion covers sites whose access is limited by trees,
inaccessible roadways, overhead power lines at location where crane will lift building,
grade changes disallowing our delivery trailers with only 4” of clearance to grade, berms,
or uneven site grades, or when the path of travel is over improvements such as sidewalks,
all of which are not within the scope of work by PRC. On some sites without on-site
storage availability for buildings that cannot be set, relocation to a proximal crane yard
and later relocated to the site for installation, will incur additional fees at rates that vary
depending on local rates. PRC will provide written costs for this additional work by change
order.
2. If weather on site causes site delivery issues, the delivery may have to be diverted to an
off-site location and the additional costs will be a change order to the bid. Our staff works
with the Owner/General Contractor in advance to make sure sound decisions for delivery
are made to avoid this issue. But sometimes Owner/General Contractor take risks for
weather, but this risk is clearly at the Owner/General Contractor risk, not PRC.
3. Sidewalks outside the building footprint.
4. Trench plates or matting needed for protection of site soils, sidewalks, hardscaping, or site
utilities shall be the responsibility of the Owner/General Contractor. Any site soils damage
or other site improvements if damaged during installation shall be the responsibility of
the Owner/General Contractor.

5. Not responsible for removing any soil, sand, or other debris as a result of trenching or
installation.
6. Survey, location of building corners, finish floor elevation, excavation, and construction of
subgrade building pad and footings (if required) per PRC plans.
7. Soil conditions not suitable for bearing a minimum of 1500 PSF with compaction to 90%
maximum dry density shall require Owner/General Contractor correction before building
placement. If no soils testing report is available before bid, Owner/General Contractor
must verify site supporting soils at a minimum of 1500 PSF because that is the least we
can place our structures on or Owner/General Contractor or engineer of record must
design a foundation system to meet the imposed loads of site placement.
8. Improper water pressure, an undersized meter, or improper water volume flow to the
building may necessitate a change order for installation of a building internal diaphragm
tank to provide the minimum flow rate and static pressure of up to 60 PSI and a minimum
of 40 PSI to properly flush the fixtures. Building water service chlorination, post
installation, shall be by Owner/General Contractor.
9. Our bid included crane costs are based on a maximum 35’ radius from the center pin of
the crane (10’ back from the rear of the crane) to the building center point of the furthest
building module roof. If additional distance requires a larger crane, additional costs will be
assessed by change order to the Owner/General Contractor.
10. Bonds, building permits, a site survey, special inspection fees, minor trash removal
(nominally one pickup truck of shipping materials), final utility connections to the on-site
water, sewer and electrical are by the Owner/General Contractor. Since the building is
fully inspected and tested in plant, minor plumbing leaks (if water is not available when
building site work installation is completed) is by the Owner/ General Contractor.
11. Site Traffic Control, if applicable, shall be by Owner/ General Contractor, not PRC.
12. Any equipment installation, site work or special inspections other than described within
this proposal, shall be by Owner/General Contractor.
13. Backflow certification if applicable by Owner/ General Contractor.
Insurance and Prevailing Wage Certification:
PRC shall comply with the required insurance requirements, wage reports, and safety requirements for
the project, including OSHA regulations.
Special Insurance to protect the Building before acceptance:
As PRC requires payment for each month of off-site construction, and since the building is not on owner
property where their insurance will cover the building, we maintain a special policy that insures the
property even when paid for off-site until the building is finally accepted by the owner. This special
policy protects the Owner’s custom ordered materials to be used in the fabrication of the building
during this period. PRC provides this Stock Throughput Policy to cover the building materials from
supplier to manufacturer, while it is being built off-site, while in transit to the job site, during and after it
is installed on-site until final acceptance. This special policy has a $1,000,000 coverage limit. This
exceeds the cost of any single building we have offered for sale herein.

BACKGROUND
The City of Palo Alto is required by the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water
Board) to address trash generated in its right of way. The agency’s State Stormwater Permit
issued by the State Water Board allows Caltrans to partner with local municipalities by
providing funding for regional water quality treatment facilities in significant trash generating
areas (as identified in the Caltrans Statewide Trash Implementation Plan). Caltrans receives
trash reduction compliance credits for contributions to regional projects. The City is also
Item 4
Item 4 Staff Report
Item 4: Staff Report Pg. 1 Packet Pg. 34 of 911
required to comply with the Municipal Regional Stormwater NPDES Permit (MRP) in the San
Francisco Bay Area (Order R2-2015-0049). The MRP outlines various requirements for
protecting the City’s storm drain system and local receiving waters from pollutants commonly
found in urban stormwater runoff, including trash and other priority pollutants like PCBs and
mercury. The MRP requires the 76 Permittees (including the City) to meet the goal of 100
percent trash load reduction, or no adverse impact to receiving waters from trash, by July 1,
2025.
California Department of Transportation’s (Caltrans) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) permit allows and encourages Caltrans to partner with municipalities by
providing funding for stormwater quality treatment facilities that address trash or other
pollutants. Palo Alto has been selected to receive such funding, and consequently, both
agencies will receive compliance credit to meet permit requirements. Caltrans requires that all
projects selected to be funded enter into a Cooperative Implementation Agreement (CIA), and
Council approved the CIA for the project on June 14, 2021.1 In the CIA, Caltrans agreed to
reimburse the City up to $613,000 for the design and construction of a trash capture device
(TCD) to be installed on Embarcadero Road in front of the Baylands Golf Links
To implement the agreement with Caltrans, Trash Capture Device project SD-22002 was
created to install a debris or trash separating device into the existing storm drain system near
the Baylands Golf Course. This device is designed to treat an estimated 190 acres of land in the
City of Palo Alto’s right of way and an additional 20 acres in the Caltrans right of way. Since the
project treats a portion of Caltrans land, state funding has been granted for the full cost of the
project. The device’s design and the analysis of the project have been performed by Schaaf and
Wheeler through contract C221848962. This project represents a 5% reduction in trash flows
into the San Francisco Bay from the City’s jurisdiction and is a part of the Stormwater
Compliance group’s plan to reduce all trash discharges by 100% by the year 2025.
Implementation of the device will require digging, trenching and shoring in the grass area
adjacent to the Baylands Golf Course, followed by attaching the system to the existing 36-inch
storm drain system running through the area. Lastly, the area will be backfilled and the existing
surface restored. The device will require yearly maintenance and cleanouts to be performed by
the Public Works Operations group.

Staff recommends approval of Contract No. C231878773 to furnish and install the new trash
capture device, which will be maintained by the City of Palo Alto. The contract scope of work
includes the trenching and shoring of a suitable installation location, furnishing, delivery and
installation of a new trash capture device as detailed in the project’s plans and specifications,
integration of the device into the existing storm water system, installation of a secondary slide
gate system for future maintenance ease, and restoration of the trenched area including
relocating or repairing any disturbed or damaged utilities. The nearby pathway will not be
within the limits of work and will not need closure or maintenance due to the installation of this
device. The proposed location of the device is shown in Attachment A.
Bid Process
On May 4, 2023, an invitation for bids (IFB) for the Embarcadero Trash Capture Device Project
was posted on the City’s Planet Bids eProcurement system. The bidding period was 27 calendar
days. The City received 6 bids from qualified contractors as listed on the attached Bid Summary
(Attachment C).

Bids ranged from $410,604 to $798,869 and from 17% below to 61% above the engineer’s
estimate of $495,900. Staff has reviewed the bids submitted and recommends the base bid in
the amount of $410,604 submitted by Casey Construction, Inc., be accepted, and that Casey
Construction, Inc. be declared the lowest responsible bidder. The construction contingency
amount of $41,060, which equals 10 percent of the contract value, is requested for related,
additional, but unforeseen work which may arise during the project, implemented via
City-approved change orders.

Construction, Inc. and found them to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Staff
also checked with the Contractor's State License Board and confirmed the contractor has an
active license on file.
Caltrans has agreed to pay for all project costs above the original estimate of $613,000 agreed
upon in the original CIA. The total project cost for design, construction and staff time is
$774,837. The additional funding of $161,837 is included in the attached amended CIA
(Attachment C). Following construction, the City will accept responsibility for the operations
and maintenance of the device.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
The recommendation in this memorandum to increase the Fiscal Year 2023 budget
appropriation for the Trash Capture Device Project (SD-22002) by $161,837 includes funding
for the construction contract, administrative project costs, and salary and benefits needed to
complete the project. Caltrans has agreed to fund all additional costs in excess of the original
funding of $613,000, including the additional construction costs and City staff salary and
benefits to manage the project, as detailed in the amended cooperative implementation
agreement (CIA) D43CIASCL0001.
This project is anticipated to impact operating expenses in the future. Future maintenance for
the device will be performed by Public Works Public Services and will cost an estimated $8,500
annually.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
The project has been coordinated with the Baylands Golf Course to allow for partial use of the
parking area for construction work and staging. The construction should not impact the Golf
Course’s typical daily operations or use.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project is exempt from CEQA per CEQA Guidelines §15303 (Class 3 - New Construction or
Conversion of Small Structures). The project qualifies for an exemption under Class 3 because
the project would involve construction of new small structures on-site. The project would
include installation of a DSSB trash capture device and associated accessories within an existing
storm drain system.

BUDGET AND SCHEDULE CHANGES
CITY OF PALO ALTO EMBARCADERO TRASH CAPTURE DEVICE PROJECT
Introduction
The scope of the City of Palo Alto (City) Embarcadero Trash Capture Device Project (Project)
has not changed. The following describes changes to the original project schedule and budget
presented in Attachment I of CIA D43CIASCL0001 (Agreement).
Project Schedule
The project site is located in front of the City’s Baylands Golf Links (1875 Embarcadero Road,
Palo Alto, CA 94303) at the end of Embarcadero Road east of Highway 101. The project will
consist of installing a Contech Debris Separating Baffle Box (DSBB) within the existing City
storm drain pipeline located at the golf course along Embarcadero Road. The DSBB device is
selected per the requirements of the Santa Clara County Hydrology and Hydraulics manual and
meets trash reduction requiremnts of Regional Water Quality Control Board. The storm system
drains portions of the City of Palo Alto and Caltrans ROW, specifically Highway 101, and
discharges to the San Francisco Bay.
To date, the project design has been completed, and the City has entered into a contract with the
construction contractor. Attachment II of the CIA stated that Project construction and as-builts
would be completed by end of October 2022. Due to delays, the construction period is expected to
commence July 5, 2023 and be completed by December 4, 2023. The project schedule in Table 1
provides project timeline, from design through construction (Table 1).

Project Budget
Attachment II of the CIA estimated the Project budget to be $613,000. The City has invoiced for
this amount per CIA requirements. Due to increases in market costs to labor, equipment and
supplies and also adding City staff costs (which is allowed per the CIA) to the Project budget, the
total Project budget has increased to $774,837.35. Because Caltrans has already reimbursed the
City for the original CIA agreed-upon budget of $613,000, this Amendment I to the Agreement
allows for additional reimbursement to the City of $161,837.35. Tables 2 and 3 provide an overview
of the amended budget and a breakdown of the included City staff time.

TITLE
Utilities Advisory Commission Recommends Adoption of the 2023 Annual Water Shortage
Assessment Report
RECOMMENDATION
The Utilities Advisory Commission (UAC) and staff recommend the City Council adopt the 2023
Annual Water Shortage Assessment Report.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Beginning in 2022, every urban water supplier in California must conduct an Annual Water Supply
and Demand Assessment as required by California Water Code Section 10632 (a). Each urban
water supplier must also submit an Annual Water Shortage Assessment Report to the
Department of Water Resources (DWR) on or before July 1, as required by California Water Code
Section 10632.1. The City’s Annual Water Shortage Assessment Report (Attachment A, Tables 1-
5) shows that there is no water shortage anticipated for Fiscal Year 2024.
On April 17, 2023, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), Palo Alto’s water
supplier, provided Palo Alto with the Water Supply Availability Update indicating for this
upcoming water year, to-date precipitation has been above average and snowpack is at record-
breaking levels; additionally, SFPUC indicated its 11% regional voluntary reduction request will
expire at the same time the State Board’s drought emergency regulation expires on June 10th,
2023 (unless the State Board rescinds the drought emergency regulation earlier).
Palo Alto’s water use for the period July 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023 was 13% below the base
year of July 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020. The City of Palo Alto encourages continued water
conservation efforts and the City’s website contains more information about available water

conservation programs1 and latest water conservation and drought updates.2
DISCUSSION
To prepare the 2023 Annual Water Shortage Assessment Report, staff followed the procedures
outlined in its Water Shortage Contingency Plan, contained in Section 7 of the City’s 2020 Urban
Water Management Plan (UWMP). Palo Alto’s 2023 Annual Water Shortage Assessment Report
uses the DWR-developed Optional Annual Assessment Tool format. This format includes the 5
tables shown in Attachment A. Staff will submit the standard tables to DWR by July 1, 2023.
“Table 1. Annual Assessment Information” (Table 1) provides required overview information. The
remaining tables project water supply and demand for FY 2024 under dry conditions, as required,
and finds that there is no projected water shortage.
After Palo Alto and other urban water suppliers report to DWR on the 2023 Annual Water
Shortage Assessment Reports, DWR will prepare a summary report on its review of the Annual
Water Supply and Demand Assessment results and provide it to the State Water Resources
Control Board (State Board) by September 30. The DWR report will include water shortage
information at the supplier level, as well as regional and statewide analysis of water conditions
as required by California Water Code Section 10644 (c)(1)(B).
Potable Water
Palo Alto receives 100% of its potable water supply from the SFPUC Regional Water System and
staff used the SFPUC's April 17, 2023 Water Supply Availability Update to determine water
supply. Attachment A shows the following potable water tables:
•“Table 2: Water Demands” (Table 2) provides a demand projection for each month of FY
2024;
•“Table 3: Water Supplies” (Table 3) notes that there is sufficient supply to meet Palo Alto’s
demand and projects supply equal to the demand projection since there is no projected
water shortage;
•“Table 4(P): Potable Water Shortage Assessment” (Table 4(P)) compares projected FY
2024 demand with supply and illustrates that there is no shortage projected for FY 2024;
•“Table 5: Planned Water Shortage Response Actions” (Table 5) shows no triggered water
shortage actions.
On March 24, 2023, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order (N-5-23) which eliminated his
directive that agencies implement Stage II of their water shortage contingency plans as well as
lessened the drought emergency restrictions presented in his previous Executive Order (N-7-22),
while not eliminating all actions completely. On April 11, 2023, the SFPUC approved the

rescindment of the Water Shortage Emergency that was declared on November 23, 2021. This
action removes the voluntary system wide cutback of 11% (Resolution No. 22-0098) effective
when the State Board’s order expires on June 10, 2023 (unless the State Board takes an earlier
action). The City of Palo Alto’s temporary drought water use restrictions expire at the same time
as SFPUC’s voluntary water use restriction and the State Board’s drought emergency regulations.3
Palo Alto’s eight permanent water use regulations will remain in effect (see Palo Alto Municipal
Code Section 12.32.010). Staff will continue to monitor drought actions and requirements at the
SFPUC and State level and provide updates to the UAC and to the public through the City’s
website described above.
Non-Potable Water
For non-potable recycled water, Attachment A shows non-potable water in Tables 2, 3, and
4(NP). Table 2 provides the demand projection and Table 3 notes that there is sufficient supply
to meet Palo Alto’s non-potable recycled water demand. For that reason, the supply is set to
equal demand and there is no shortage of non-potable water projected in Table 4(NP), “Non
Potable Water Shortage Assessment”.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
Adoption of the 2023 Annual Water Shortage Assessment Report does not have an associated
resource impact.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Staff encourages interested parties to comment or provide feedback on the draft Annual Water
Shortage Assessment Report at the Council meeting where the report will be considered for
approval, or to submit written comments prior to those meetings.
COMMISSION REVIEW
The 2023 Annual Water Shortage Assessment Report was presented to the UAC at its June 7,
2023 meeting. The UAC voted unanimously (6-0), with Commissioner Scharff absent, to
recommend Council adopt the 2023 Annual Water Shortage Assessment Report.
Commissioner Questions:
- There was a question about possible feedback or impacts from the State in response to
Palo Alto’s 2023 Annual Water Shortage Assessment Report. Staff explained that the
report is a requirement for Palo Alto to qualify for state loans and grants.
- There was a question about future droughts and whether water savings were in line
with expected savings and whether staff would continue tracking water sales and
rebound. Staff explained that water savings were in line with expectations and that Palo
Alto’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan provides a guide to water shortage actions for

each needed water conservation level; staff will continue to track water sales and
rebound and will make appropriate recommendations to Council about needed water
use restrictions in future droughts.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Adoption of the 2023 Annual Water Shortage Assessment Report is exempt from California
Environmental Quality Act’s (CEQA) review pursuant to Water Code Section 10652.

TITLE
Grant of Easements to City of Mountain View for the City of Mountain View’s Phase 2 San Antonio
Area Sewer Main Improvements Project. CEQA Status – Exempt Under CEQA Guidelines Section
15378(b)(5).
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager or their designee to execute the attached Grant of Easement
and Agreement to City of Mountain View (Attachment A); and
2. Authorize the City Manager or their designee to execute the attached Temporary
Construction Easement (Attachment B).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The San Antonio Area Sewer Main Improvements Project (Project) will address operation and
capacity issues for the City of Mountain View’s sanitary sewer collection system in the San
Antonio service area and replace a sewer meter, also known as the Alma Recorder. The San
Antonio service area is located along the western border of the City of Mountain View. The
Mountain View system also collects sewage from a small area of the City of Palo Alto at Silva
Avenue and Silva Court. As part of this Project, the City of Mountain View will construct a new
sanitary sewer pipeline on San Antonio Avenue that encroaches onto City of Palo Alto owned
Assessor Parcel Number 147-09-051 located between San Antonio Avenue and San Antonio Road
(Attachment C). To support the project, the City of Palo Alto will execute a Grant of Easement
and a Temporary Construction Easement to the City of Mountain View.
BACKGROUND
The City of Mountain View owns and operates the wastewater collection system within its
boundaries. The majority of wastewater generated within the City of Mountain View is collected
and conveyed to the Shoreline Pump Station in the City of Mountain View’s Shoreline Regional

Park, which is then pumped to a trunk sewer conveying to the Palo Alto Regional Water Quality
Control Plant (RWQCP). However, two areas on the western border of the City of Mountain View
have topography such that wastewater does not flow to the Shoreline Pump Station.
In these areas, wastewater is collected and conveyed to the Los Altos Trunk Sewer for
conveyance to the Palo Alto RWQCP. The San Antonio service area as shown below is the larger
of the two areas. Wastewater flows are collected from the San Antonio service area and a small
service area from the City of Palo Alto before being conveyed through the Alma Recorder to
calculate wastewater flows. The sewage then flows to the Los Altos Trunk Sewer at the
intersection of Alma Street and San Antonio Avenue in the City of Palo Alto.

To plan for the existing and projected future developments in the San Antonio service area, the
City of Mountain View completed a study in 2017 to evaluate improvement options for the sewer
collection system. The project identified areas of pipeline capacity deficiencies, and existing
operation and capacity issues at the Alma Recorder. Based on the study findings, City of Mountain
View developed a design plan to replace the existing Alma Recorder and to construct a new
pipeline on San Antonio Avenue in order to relocate the existing Los Altos Trunk Sewer

connection point to a lower elevation. This new pipeline and connection point will resolve a
backwater issue currently experienced at the Alma Recorder that makes the sewer flow readings
problematic. This new pipeline will not directly connect to the City of Palo Alto’s sanitary sewer
system.
Due to existing utility conflicts along San Antonio Avenue, the new pipeline alignment will be
located along the south edge of San Antonio Avenue. The alignment will encroach onto a City of
Palo Alto’s Assessor Parcel Number 147-09-051 located adjacent to the traffic ramp from Alma
Street to San Antonio Road. The City of Palo Alto acquired the 28,089 square foot parcel in 2011
via an exchange agreement as part of the Mayfield Mall redevelopment project (CMR 12681). The
parcel is currently a landscaped island between roadways, and the site will be restored after
project construction. For the project to complete design and before construction proceeds, the
City of Mountain View requested the City of Palo Alto to grant a temporary construction
easement and a permanent easement for the new pipeline.

ANALYSIS
For the construction of the San Antonio Area Sewer Main Improvements project to proceed, a
permanent sewer easement and a temporary construction easement will need to be granted by
the City of Palo Alto to the City of Mountain View. The City will be granting the following easement
rights for the Project:
•A 20’ wide non-exclusive permanent easement, containing approximately 5,203 square
feet, parallel to San Antonio Avenue from the City of Palo Alto owned parcel APN 147-09-
051, for the new sanitary sewer pipeline as a part of the San Antonio Area Sewer Mains
Improvements Project.
•A 30’ wide temporary construction easement to the east of and parallel to the permanent
easement for the pipeline, from the City of Palo Alto owned parcel APN 147-09-051. This
temporary easement is approximately 7,129 square feet and will be used for construction
and staging for the Project. The term will commence upon notification to proceed and
terminate within 200 days and not exceed June 30, 2025.
Granting the easement rights to City of Mountain View to support the San Antonio Area Sewer
Main Improvements project is consistent with policies and programs in the Comprehensive Plan
to promote public safety and infrastructure investments, to develop a safer regional area, and to
work in cooperation with neighborhood cities to solve regional issues that impact many residents
and communities.
Once the City of Palo Alto grants the easements to the City of Mountain View, the City of Mountain
View will finalize the construction documents and advertise the project for bidding. The contractor
for the project will apply for the City of Palo Alto Street Work Permit and Encroachment Permit and
secure both before the start of construction. Construction is scheduled to commence in September
2023 and is anticipated to require approximately four to six months.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
The City of Palo Alto’s Easement Document Preparation and Processing fee of $1,504 each as set
forth in the Municipal Fee Schedule will be paid by the City of Mountain View. As noted in CMR
12682, the market value of the land was estimated at $25,000 or $0.89 per square foot,
suggesting that the value of the easements would likely be minimal. Assuming that the value of
the permanent easement is no more than 50% of the fee simple land value ($0.89 per square
foot x 5,203 square feet x 50% = $2,315) and the temporary construction easement is no more
than 10% of the fee simple land value, per year ($0.89 per square foot x 7,129 square feet x 10%
x 200 days / 365 days = $348), the total value of the easements would be valued at less than

of Mountain View.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
The City of Mountain View has provided the project design plans for review to the City of Palo Alto
Utilities and Public Works Engineering, the City of Los Altos, and the County of Santa Clara. The
proposed sewer line crosses underneath Palo Alto’s existing storm drain line, as part of the Street
Work Permit the contractor will need to protect the storm drain line and may need to CCTV the
line prior to and post construction to verify the line was not damaged by the project. During the
project design, City of Mountain View staff contacted utility companies and checked that the
proposed sewer line do not have conflicts with the existing utility pipes.
Over the past few years, City staff have been meeting and working with the staff of the City of
Mountain View to coordinate the project, and to develop and review the plats, legal descriptions,
and real estate rights that will be included in the easements to be granted to facilitate the Project.
To support regional collaboration and to consider the proposed project will benefit the City of
Palo Alto by continuing to provide reliable sanitary sewer collection for the City of Mountain
View’s San Antonio service area and a small portion of the City of Palo Alto. The agencies have
addressed public inquiries as they have been received. The City of Mountain View plans to
provide community notification on the construction work and has offered to work with the City
of Palo Alto if other outreach is needed.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Council action on this item is not a project as defined by CEQA because the conveyance of a sewer
easement is an administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in
the environment. CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5).
On January 26, 2021, the City of Mountain View filed a notice of exemption for the project with
the Santa Clara County Recorder. The project is the Phase 2 San Antonio Area Sewer Main
Improvements, statutorily exempt from CEQA under Public Resources Code section 21080.21;
CEQA Guidelines section 15282(k) (pertaining to construction or installation of pipelines that do
not exceed one mile in length).

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is
hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Grantor hereby grants to Grantee a nonexclusive easement (“Easement”) under
the Property as described in Exhibit A (entitled “Easement Legal Description”) and depicted on
Exhibit B (entitled “Easement Plat to Accompany Legal Description”), attached hereto and
incorporated herein, (“Easement Area”) for so long as the Easement Area is used exclusively for
the purposes of laying, installing, constructing, reconstructing, removing, replacing, maintaining,
repairing, operating, inspecting, and using an underground sewer pipeline together with all
necessary appurtenances thereof. Grantor expressly reserves for itself, its successors and its

assigns, the right to use the Easement Area or to grant other easements or licenses at the same
location so long as such uses do not unreasonably interfere with the rights herein granted.
2. Grantee shall maintain the Easement Area together with any improvements
constructed or installed thereon by Grantee or associated with Grantee’s use of the Easement
Area. The operation and maintenance of such improvements and of the Easement Area shall be
at Grantee’s sole cost and expense. Following completion of the construction of the underground
sewer pipeline and appurtenances—and excluding emergency work, inspection, maintenance,
and repairs—Grantee will provide a minimum of fifteen (15) days’ notice to Grantor before
commencing any minor maintenance or repair of the underground sewer pipeline or
appurtenances, and Grantee will provide a minimum of ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to
Grantor before commencing any major reconstruction of the underground sewer pipeline or
appurtenances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure of Grantee to provide such notice
shall not constitute a breach of this Easement Agreement.
3. This Easement is subject to all liens, encumbrances, covenants, conditions,
restrictions, reservations, contracts, leases and licenses, easements, and rights of way pertaining
to the Property, whether or not of record. The use of the word “grant” shall not imply any

6. Grantor may relocate the Easement if in the opinion of Grantor it unreasonably
interferes with the present or future use by Grantor of the Property. The first such relocation shall
be at Grantee’s sole cost and expense with any subsequent relocation at Grantor’s expense;
provided, however, that Grantor shall provide to Grantee a substitute Easement Area reasonably
suited to Grantee’s needs.
7. Grantee shall not materially interfere with the use by and operation and activities
of Grantor on its property, and Grantee shall use such routes and follow such procedures on
Grantor’s property as result in the least damage and inconvenience to Grantor.
8. Grantee shall be responsible for any damage to Grantor’s property or that of third
parties resulting from any exercise of the rights herein granted, including but not limited to soil
erosion, subsidence or damage resulting therefrom. Grantee shall promptly repair and restore to

of the Easement or use of the Easement Area.

Grantee, however occurring, other than those caused solely by the willful or negligent acts or
omissions of Grantor.
10. Grantor may terminate this Easement and all of the rights granted herein any time
after six (6) months of continuous non-use of the Easement or the Easement Area by Grantee. In
the event of such termination, the Easement shall be quitclaimed from Grantee to Grantor,
without expense to Grantor, and any and all interest in the Property conveyed in this Easement
shall automatically revert to Grantor or its assigns and successors, without the necessity of any

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This action would enable the City to engage with the lowest responsible bidder, OBS
Engineering, Inc. who was 3% below the current engineer’s estimate to complete construction
of the Boulware Park Improvements project and approve necessary budget amendments to
ensure sufficient project funding. The Boulware Park Improvements project (PE-17005) began
in 2018 to implement necessary infrastructure and maintenance improvements to the existing
Boulware Park parcel and updated with the purchase of the adjacent Birch Street property in
2019, the scope of the park project expanded to renovate both parcels as one contiguous park
facility.
The park design was developed through an intensive community engagement process from
2019 through 2022. The initial project budget established in 2019 and maintained at this initial
level until a procurement process was complete. Costs have increased due to construction
inflation over the last few years by 10%-15% and design elements incorporated through
community-based design. Other factors contributing to the increased project costs are utility
upgrades required to meet increased electrical demand for park facilities and additional
drainage elements.
BACKGROUND
In 2017, Council approved capital improvement funding to address Boulware Park maintenance
needs as part of the Fiscal Year 2018 Capital Budget. The renovation included infrastructure,
accessibility, and maintenance improvements. The project was postponed to Fiscal Year 2019
due to budget/resource constraints and prioritization of capital projects. During that period, the
adjacent 3350 Birch Street property owned by AT&T became available. The City pursued the
purchase of the parcel in order to add new parkland to the Ventura neighborhood, which is
densely populated and has a limited amount of open space. Upon finalizing the purchase of the
land in 2019, the City re-engaged the community-based design process to determine how the
existing Boulware Park and the newly purchased property would be developed into one
contiguous park. On February 10, 2020, Council adopted an ordinance dedicating 0.64 acres of
land adjacent to 3350 Birch Street to become part of Boulware Park.1
Community Outreach Process
The City conducted a series of public outreach meetings to develop the park improvement

design. On November 9, 2019, the first community meeting was held at Boulware Park. The
goal of the meeting was for the community to have the opportunity to provide input on what
park facilities should be considered in the renovation and expansion of Boulware Park.
The community provided input on different park facilities and ranked them based on
preference and priority. The facilities presented were drawn from existing facilities at Boulware
Park and facilities that were highlighted in the Parks Master Plan to be considered as part of all
park renovation projects. These facilities included:
Existing Facilities at Boulware Park
Playground
Basketball Court
Group Picnic Area
Open Turf Area
Master Plan Identified Park Facilities
Restroom
Dog Park
Community Garden
Loop Walking Path
Adult Fitness
Pickle Ball Courts
Shaded Seating Areas
Habitat/Native Planting
Security Lighting
Upon completion of the first community meeting, an on-line survey was released for those who
could not attend. A total of 62 community members responded to the survey. Survey
responses can be viewed on the project web page at www.cityofpaloalto.org/boulwarepark.2
Input from the community and survey, as well as an initial draft park plan, were presented to
the Parks and Recreation Commission (PRC) on January 28, 2020.3 The PRC stressed the
importance of aligning the proposed park plan with the recommendations of the North Ventura
Coordinated Area Plan (NVCAP), which is an on-going comprehensive community planning
effort to provide a walkable, mixed-use neighborhood.4 The PRC also expressed support for the
initial draft plan including support for a dog park, the removal of a section of Ash Street to
combine the two parcels of land, a restroom closer to the playgrounds, and limiting built park

facilities along the edge of Matadero Creek for potential creek restoration.
On February 27, 2020, the City held a joint meeting with the NVCAP working group.5 As the
closest adjacent park to the proposed redevelopment area, Boulware Park is important in
providing open parkland to the area. The community was presented three draft plan options of
the overall park design for input, each of which combined the existing parkland and newly
purchased AT&T property, as well as a portion of Ash Street. The design options and facilities
were developed from the input received at the first community meeting and guidance from the
PRC.
On December 7, 2020, a third community meeting was held to allow the community to review
the draft park plan layout. Utilizing input collected from PRC and other previous community
meetings, a final draft plan was presented for community input.
Overall, the park plan includes the following amenities:6
▪Inclusive playground (both tot (2-5)
& children (5-12))
▪Basketball Court
▪Restroom
▪Dog Park
▪Turn around Drop-Off
▪Open Turf Area
▪Loop Pathway
▪Picnic Area
▪Shaded Seating Area
▪Bocce court
▪Covered picnic area
▪New head-in and accessible parking
stalls along Lambert Avenue
▪Environmental amenities include:
▪Runoff filtration gardens
▪Native habitat gardens
▪Net increase of 20 trees

The plan was supported by the community, including the locations of the proposed site
amenities, the location of the restroom close to the playground, the added head-in-parking
along Lambert Avenue, and the removal of the section of Ash Street. The community was also
supportive of a proposed 65-foot setback for built structures along the creek in support of
future creek restoration.
On January 26, 2021, PRC reviewed the proposed park plan and community feedback.7 The
community and PRC supported the overall park plan design. PRC also expressed support for
funding and implementing the Boulware Park Improvements project as soon as funding was
available. On July 27, 2021, PRC voted unanimously to recommend that Council adopt a Park
Improvement Ordinance for the proposed improvements at Boulware Park.8 The Council
adopted the Ordinance on October 18, 20219 with its second reading occurring on November 8,
2021.10 All materials presented to the community and PRC can be viewed on the project web
site at www.cityofpaloalto.org/boulwarepark.
City staff submitted the project for Proposition 68 state grant funding and the project was
awarded $218,979. On December 13, 2021, Council adopted a resolution accepting the terms of
the grant.11 The grant funds will cover the cost of the group picnic area shade cover,
playground equipment, and site furnishings.

Staff has reviewed all bids and recommends that the Base Bid of $3,709,710, plus Additive Bid
Alternates (1 through 28 as outlined in Attachment A) of $489,511, for a total of $4,199,222
submitted by OBS Engineering, Inc. be accepted and that OBS Engineering, Inc. be declared the
lowest responsible bidder. Bid alternate items were separated out from the base bid to allow
for flexibility in prioritizing the park elements that could be included in the project scope with
the available funding, including: the bocce court, synthetic turf in the dog park, basketball court
acrylic surfacing, increased light fixtures, site furnishings, and playground equipment. The
construction contingency amount of $461,914, which equals 10 percent of the contract value, is
requested for related, additional, but unforeseen work which may arise during the project,
implemented via City-approved change orders.
Staff reviewed information and similar projects performed by the lowest bidder, OBS
Engineering, Inc., and found them to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Staff also
checked with the Contractor's State License Board and confirmed that the contractor has an
active license on file.
Staff recommends approval of Contract No. C2318775912 in the amount of $4,199,222, and a
$1.5 million budget amendment in the Park Development Impact Fee Fund. This additional
funding will provide for a complete park renovation project that retains all key elements and
maintains the design discussed during the community outreach process with guidance from the
12 Contract No. C23187759 with OBS Engineering, Inc.

park master plan. The higher engineer’s estimate and bids reflect the current bidding
environment, recent inflation and increased cost due the addition of utility upgrades required
to meet increased electrical demand for park facilities and additional drainage elements
compared to the original project estimate and budget. Additionally, staff from the Public Works
and Community Services Departments prioritized this project to use the Park Development
Impact Fees because of the importance to the community.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
Partial funding for this contract is available in the Fiscal Year 2023 Boulware Park Improvements
Project (PE-17005) and the Green Stormwater Infrastructure Project (SD-22001). The
recommendations in this memorandum will increase the Fiscal Year 2023 budget appropriation
in the Boulware Park Improvements Project (PE-17005) by $1,833,929. The additional funding
will also be used for administrative costs including utilities service fees, material testing, and
outreach costs.
The ongoing maintenance costs for this project are estimated to be approximately $50,000
annually for landscaping and custodial expenses, in addition to major renovations every 20
years after completion of this project to replace equipment and park amenities.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Extensive stakeholder engagement has been completed in developing the proposed project
improvement plan, including the many community and public meetings described in this report.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed Boulware Park and Birch Street Property Renovation Project is categorically
exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Title 14 California Code of
Regulations Section 15301 (Existing Facilities), Section 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction),
Section 15303 (New Construction of Small Facilities or Structures), and Section 15311
(Accessory Structures) because it consists of the redevelopment of an existing park. Although
the new park area will also include the Birch Street property, the proposed amenities would
largely replace existing amenities at the site (e.g., playgrounds, picnic areas, basketball court) or
would otherwise provide local-serving amenities. Therefore, the expansion in use would be
negligible. In addition, although a small new parking area is proposed, it would replace existing
street parking along Ash Street that would be removed as part of the project. Therefore, these
alterations to an existing public facility and addition of small new structures would be
consistent with the Class 1 (Section 15301) and Class 3 (Section 15303) exemptions.

TITLE
Approval of the Conceptual Plan for Quiet Zone at Palo Alto Avenue/Alma Street Rail Crossing
and Direct Staff to Proceed with Design and Construction of the Project. CEQA status –
categorically exempt (Regulation 15301).
RECOMMENDATION
The Rail Committee and staff recommend the City Council approve the Conceptual Plan to
implement a Quiet Zone at Palo Alto Avenue/Alma Street (Attachment A) and direct staff to
proceed with the design and to construct improvements required for implementing the quiet
zone at this crossing.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Office of Transportation is currently working on the Quiet Zone (QZ) study at Palo Alto
Avenue in collaboration with City of Menlo Park. Based on the study, the project consultant has
prepared the conceptual plans for improvements that will be necessary to implement the quiet
zone at this crossing. A study session was conducted with Planning and Transportation
Commission (PTC) and the Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Committee (PABAC) before seeking
Rail Committee’s review. The project received positive consideration and endorsements from
these committees. The Rail Committee has reviewed the proposed Conceptual Plan on May 23,
2023 and unanimously recommended approval to the City Council.
BACKGROUND
The City of Palo Alto (City) has received several requests for consideration of Quiet Zone at
crossings across Caltrain Corridor. As the first phase of this project, the City of Menlo Park, in
coordination with the City of Palo Alto, is conducting a QZ study that includes consideration of a
quiet zone at the Palo Alto Avenue/Alma Street crossing. Kimley Horn and Associates was
selected as consultant to perform this study. The procurement process was led by the City of
Menlo Park consistent with its policies and practices. A similar study at other crossings within
Palo Alto will be performed as a second phase of this project.

Item 8: Staff Report Pg. 1 Packet Pg. 108 of 911
ANALYSIS
Federal regulation requires that locomotive horns begin sounding 15–20 seconds before entering
public rail grade crossings, no more than one-quarter mile in advance. These horns produce
sounds from 96 to 110 decibels for at-grade crossings. The sound noise affects the quality of life
of the Palo Alto residents in the vicinity of the railroad crossings and causes significant noise
pollution.
Local agencies, however, can implement Quiet Zones where railroads have been directed to
cease the routine of sounding their horns when approaching public highway-rail grade crossings.
Train horns may still be used in emergency situations or to comply with other Federal regulations
or railroad operating rules. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) Title 49 regulations provide
opportunity for localities nationwide to mitigate the effects of train horn noise by establishing
Quiet Zones. The regulations require a quiet zone study to review the Quiet Zone Risk Index
(QZRI) qualifying for quiet zone or Supplemental Safety Measures (SSM) at each crossing. Based
on the study, the crossings need to be upgraded to be safer without horns than they are in the
current state with horns before proceeding with quiet zones.
In early 2022, City of Menlo Park issued a Request for Proposals to conduct Quiet Zone study for
four at-grade crossings in Menlo Park. Due to close proximity of the Palo Alto Avenue/Alma Street
crossing, City of Palo Alto staff collaborated with City of Menlo Park to include this crossing in the
study. The procurement process was led by the City of Menlo Park consistent with its policies and
practices. However, staff from both cities worked towards the selection of the Consultant. Kimley
Horn and Associates (Consultant) was the selected consultant to perform this study.
Consultant performed the crossing analysis based on the FRA and California Public Utilities
Commission (CPUC) requirements and prepared preliminary conceptual plans for improvements
at these crossings to meet QZ requirements. A field diagnostic meeting was held amongst a team
of consultant staff, staff from the cities of Palo Alto and Menlo Park, CPUC, Caltrain, and FRA to
review the existing conditions at the crossing and to seek feedback and concurrence in
developing recommendations for improvements to implement the Quiet Zone.
The consultant therefore developed conceptual plans consistent with FRA and CPUC
requirements. The improvements for Palo Alto Avenue/Alma Street primarily recommend for
modifications to median islands on both sides of the railroad tracks. These improvements include
reconstruction to have median islands with eight (8) inch curb and extension of median islands
to meet regulatory standards for quiet zones. A community outreach meeting was held on March
23, 2023. Staff received positive feedback and community desire to expedite implementation of
quiet zone in Palo Alto.

On April 26, 2023, a Study Session (Staff Report ID 2303-1201) 1 with Planning and Transportation
Commission was held to review proposed project recommendations and seeking feedback for
implementing a quiet zone at Palo Alto Avenue/Alma Street Crossing. In addition, on May 2, 2023,
a study session seeking comments and feedback was also conducted with the Pedestrian and
Bicycle Advisory Committee. At both study sessions, staff received positive consideration for
implementing quiet zones. The Rail Committee has reviewed the proposed Conceptual Plan on
May 23, 2023 (Staff Report 2304-1285)2 and unanimously recommend approval to the City
Council.
Next Steps
Upon approval of the project and concept plans by the City Council, the City will engage a
consultant to support the design and help obtain the necessary permits and approvals from
Caltrain and CPUC to modify the At-Grade Railroad Crossing. Following this, the project will bid
for construction to install the required improvements. The final step involves City formally
requesting the Federal Rail Administration to establish a quiet zone at this crossing.
The estimated cost for the design and construction of the improvements outlined in the concept
is between $200,000 and $250,000. It is expected that implementation of the quiet zone will take
approximately 20-24 months, assuming the City is able to secure timely approvals from the
relevant agencies and funding availability. However, if external funding or grants are involved,
additional coordination and approvals will be required for grant-related requirements, and the
timeline will depend on the funding requirements and processing involved. As needed, staff will
return to the City Council for approval of design and/or construction contract.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
This work will be incorporated into one of the City’s existing transportation capital projects; the
exact one is to be determined. Staff will seek funding from any applicable federal, state, or
regional grants concurrently with the approval process. However, if such funding is unavailable
due to the size and timing of the project, staff will seek Measure B Local Streets and Roads (LSR)
funds or alternatively absorb the costs within the existing capital project.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
A Community Meeting was held on March 23, 2023, to seek feedback and comments. In addition,
a study session at Planning and Transportation Committee was conducted on April 26, 2023, to
solicit feedback and comments. Staff also presented the project at the Pedestrian and Bike
Advisory Committee Rail Committee on May 2, 2023, and City School Transportation Safety
Committee on May 18, 2023, for feedback before seeking Rail Committee’s review and approval

on May 23, 2023. All meetings are open to the public and therefore provide the community with
opportunities to provide comments to the City.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed modifications are minor upgrades to an existing street right-of-way and would not
result in any new impacts on the existing environment. This project is considered as a minor
alteration to the existing street system, and therefore categorically exempt (Class 1 Exemption,
Section 15301) from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

TITLE
Approval of: (1) a Purchase Order with Pivot Interiors Inc. in the Amount of $756,021 and (2) a
Purchase Order with One Workplace in the Amount of $480,229 for the Public Safety Building
Capital Project (PE-15001); CEQA: Environmental Impact Report for the Public Safety Building
and New California Avenue Area Parking Garage (Resolution No. 9772)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council approve and authorize the City Manager or their designee to
execute:
1. A Purchase Order with Pivot Interiors Inc. (Attachment A) for the Public Safety Building
Capital Project (PE-15001) in an amount not to exceed $756,021, including $687,292 for
basic services and $68,729 for contingency; and
2. A Purchase Order with One Workplace (Attachment B) for the Public Safety Building
Capital Project (PE-15001) in an amount not to exceed $480,229, including $436,572 for
basic services and $43,657 for contingency.
BACKGROUND
On February 1, 2021, the Public Safety Building (PSB) general construction contract was
authorized by Council1. Construction has been underway since March 2021 and is expected to
complete in fall 2023. The general construction contract does not include most items
designated as fixtures, furniture, and equipment (FF&E). It does include some built-in FF&E
items such as wall-mounted video screens and computer server racks. Budget for other stand-
alone FF&E has also been included in the project plan, and the overall debt funding plan
anticipated these FF&E expenditures. The City-standard modular office furniture purchases

included in this recommendation will be a key component of the final PSB to provide efficient
and functional workspaces.
The new PSB will house staff from the Police and Fire Departments, and the Office of
Emergency Services. Spaces in the building include offices, staff workspaces, break rooms,
meeting rooms, fitness rooms, and public lobbies.
ANALYSIS
In February 2021, Council directed staff to “examine the FF&E budget and remove all that are
not necessary at time of completion.” Staff hired Single Source, Inc. to perform a survey of
existing offices, conference rooms, and common areas in the Palo Alto Police Department on
the first floor of City Hall and Fire Department administration offices on the sixth floor of City
Hall. The survey indicated that 16 percent of furniture items were at the end of useful life,
about half were not recommended for re-use, and 39 percent had potential for re-use but
would require repairs. Repairs could be costly, especially if the item no longer has a warranty.
In addition to the age and condition of the existing furniture, the new public areas and staff
workspaces of the PSB are configured differently than at City Hall and direct re-use of existing
modular furniture would not effectively use the new space. Most of the existing modular
furniture in the old facility is also comprised of an earlier generation of Herman Miller cubicles
that has been discontinued. Areas in the existing facility that do have the newer generation of
the Herman Miller cubicles may be more suitable to reuse in-place under the City Hall Space
Planning Capital Project (PE-19000), and avoid expenses associated with a mixed design and
move of applicable furniture. As a result, virtually all furniture items will be replaced due to
their condition and infeasibility of direct re-use.
PSB offices and staff workspaces will be furnished with City-standard Herman Miller modular
furniture with finishes matching recent tenant improvements at City Hall and the Municipal
Services Center (MSC). If modifications are needed in the future due to changing needs, City
staff will be able to source from the current in-house spare parts inventory where possible.
Lobby, break area, and staff seating fabrics were selected to withstand public use over the
years and for easy cleaning by the City’s maintenance staff. Typically, the selected furniture
should last a minimum of 12 years with normal usage and occasional maintenance.
In order to remove unnecessary furnishings, staff modified the original furniture plans from
2019 as follows:
1. Removed cubicle fabric tiles that were up against walls on the backside of cubicle walls.
2. Consolidated power in cubicles to avoid having additional powered raceways.
3. Removed standard under cabinet lighting where lighting was sufficient or rarely used by
staff.
4. Removed unnecessary cubicle walls and overhead storage on the third-floor
administrative counter area and replaced it with freestanding desks.
Item 9
Item 9 Staff Report
Item 9: Staff Report Pg. 2 Packet Pg. 114 of 911
5. Removed overhead storage where no longer needed in offices on the first floor.
As a result, and between the two purchase orders, the City will be purchasing the following
items:
•118 staff task chairs
•59 cubicles and 27 furnished offices
•12 staff workstations
•56 chairs and 21 tables for staff break areas
•28 chairs and 6 tables for public lobbies
•61 tables for conference or multi-purpose areas
•152 chairs for conference and multi-purpose areas
•31 communal storage units
•40 pieces of various electronics such as power modules for tables and desk lighting.
Per Palo Alto Municipal code 2.30.360(j), the City can take advantage of cooperative purchasing
agreements provided: (i) the services are solicited using methods substantially similar to those
required under the Municipal Code, as determined by the Procurement Officer; and (ii) the
contract is consistent with the requirements under the Municipal Code. OMNIA Partners
(OMNIA) and Sourcewell provide discounts for government entities purchasing furniture from
brands such as Herman Miller, Steelcase, and Coalesse. The cooperative purchasing agreement
contracts were competitively solicited and publicly awarded through the cooperating
purchasing organizations and the purchase orders are consistent with the requirements of the
Municipal Code. Cooperative purchasing programs allow government organizations to use a
single solicitation with the best value and favorable terms and conditions.
Each purchase order includes a material cost for furniture and accessories, freight and
installation of furniture, and project management fees including layout design from the vendor.
Council authorization for a 10% contingency on these Purchase Orders is also included and
recommended for minor changes, additions, and for storage fees if there are unforeseen
project delays that prevent delivery and installation during the specified calendar window.
Furniture sourced through Pivot Interiors Inc. has a lead time of 10-16 weeks, and furniture
sourced from One Workplace has a lead time of 18-20 weeks. Staff also expects manufacturing
costs to increase on July 1, 2023 for Herman Miller and its subsidiaries.
Project Timeline
While the project is progressing well toward completion, it should be noted that construction
contract substantial completion dates often change during construction as change orders can
authorize additional time for various issues that affect the critical path. Staff and the
construction manager believe that the PSB is on track for substantial completion in October.

Following substantial completion, the “move-in” phase of the project will continue for several
months for the installation and testing of several highly-technical and critical Public Safety, IT,
Security, and Communications systems that will be housed at the new PSB. Activities that will
be performed during the move-in phase, include:
•Completion of punchlist items – minor issues identified during inspections to be
corrected prior to final completion of the construction contract, but that do not
necessarily impact substantial completion
•Furniture Delivery and Installation
•Installation, Testing and Commissioning of City / Police IT systems
•Commissioning of 9-1-1 telephone and dispatch systems
•Commissioning of Radio Systems and Equipment
•Phased relocation of Dispatch Operations
•Integration of the new facility with neighboring agencies, including Silicon Valley
Regional Interoperability Authority (SVRIA)
•Phased re-location of Police, Fire Department Administration and Office of Emergency
Services staff from the existing facility to the new PSB site
Some move-in items will occur during construction. The move-in phase is expected to continue
for 3-4 months after substantial construction completion, with the new facility projected to
become fully-operational in early 2024.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE
PAGE 2 OF 3
ENVIRONMENTALLY PREFERRED PURCHASING REQUIREMENTS: Seller agrees to comply
with the City's Environmentally Preferred Purchasing Requirements.
(1) Hazardous Waste:
Seller shall take-back all spent or otherwise discarded hazardous products sold to the City by
the Seller if the spent or discarded products are classified as hazardous or universal wastes by
State or Federal regulations. Seller shall provide convenient collection and recycling services
(or disposal services if recycling technology is unavailable) for all universal wastes, which
originate from the Vendor. Hazardous waste manifests or bills of lading must be provided to
City staff upon request. Recycling and reuse of hazardous wastes must occur within the
United States. Universal waste lists and information are available
www.dtsc.ca.gov/HazardousWaste/UniversalWaste/. A hazardous waste list is available at
http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/LEA/Training/wasteclass/yep.htm. Additional information can
be obtained by contacting the City of Palo Alto Hazardous Waste Department at (650)
496-6980.
(2) Zero Waste and Pollution Prevention:
Per Palo Alto City Council policy, the City is targeting to achieve Zero Waste by 2021. The
City must also meet Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit requirements requiring no visible
impact from litter via stormdrains by 2022. To that end the vendor, manufacturer and or
contractor must individually or collaboratively comply with the waste reduction, reuse and
recycling requirements of the City's Zero Waste and Pollution Prevention Programs. Seller
acknowledges and agrees that if Seller fails to fully and satisfactorily comply with these
requirements, the City will suffer, as a result of Seller's failure, substantial damages which
are both extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Therefore, the Seller agrees that in
addition to all other damages to which the City may be entitled, in the event Seller fails to
comply with the below requirements Seller shall pay City as liquidated damages the amounts
specified below. The liquidated damage amount is not a penalty but considered to be a
reasonable estimate of the amount of damages City will suffer as a result of such
non-compliance.
Sellers shall adhere to the standard that all printed materials provided to the City that are
generated from a personal computer and printer including, proposals, quotes, invoices,
reports, and public education materials shall be double-sided, printed on a minimum of 30%
post-consumer content paper or greater unless otherwise approved by the City's
Environmental Services Division (650) 329-2117. Materials printed by a professional printing
company shall be a minimum of 30% post-consumer material or greater and printed with
vegetable based inks. Liquidated damages of $30 per document will be assessed by City for
failure to adhere to this requirement.
All paper packaging must be Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified.
All primary, secondary and shipping (tertiary) packaging be minimized to the maximum
extent feasible while protecting the product being shipped.
All primary, secondary and shipping packaging shall be recyclable in the City's recycling
program. A complete list of items accepted for recycling are found at
www.zerowastepaloalto.org or by calling (650) 496-5910. If any portion is received that
does not meet this requirement, liquidated damages of $235 or a minimum of $50 if the
combined product and shipping cost is $235 or less will be assessed by City for failure to
adhere to this requirement.
Expanded foam plastics (e.g., foam or cushion blocks, trays, packing 'peanuts'), such as
but not limited to polystyrene (aka Styrofoam[tm]), polypropylene, or polyurethane shall not
be used as primary, secondary or tertiary/shipping packaging with the following exceptions:
o Primary packaging made from these materials may be used if the vendor,
manufacturer, contractor individually or collaboratively does one of the following:
(a) takes the material back at the City's convenience and at no cost to the City, or
(b) pays the City of Palo Alto's disposal costs via payment of liquidated damages of
$235, or a minimum of $50 if the combined product and shipping cost is $235 or less.
o Bioplastics that meet ASTM D6400 standards for compostability may be accepted
with approval from the City's Environmental Services Division subject to local municipal
compost facility requirements.
o If approved by the City's Environmental Services Division, a packaging requirement
may be waived if no other viable packaging alternative exists.
Reusable/returnable pallets shall be used and taken back by the Seller, at no additional
cost to the City. Seller shall provide documentation upon request ensuring reuse of pallets
and/or recycling of broken pallets. Liquidated damages of $262 or a minimum of $50 if the
combined product and shipping cost is $262 or less will be assessed by City for failure to
adhere to this requirement.
(3) Energy and Water Efficiency:
Seller shall provide products with an ENERGY STAR, Water Sense or State of California
standard rating, whichever is more efficient, when ratings exist for those products. A life
cycle cost analysis shall be provided to the City upon request and shall at minimum include:
first cost, operating costs, maintenance costs, and disposal costs.

PAGE 2 OF 3
ENVIRONMENTALLY PREFERRED PURCHASING REQUIREMENTS: Seller agrees to comply
with the City's Environmentally Preferred Purchasing Requirements.
(1) Hazardous Waste:
Seller shall take-back all spent or otherwise discarded hazardous products sold to the City by
the Seller if the spent or discarded products are classified as hazardous or universal wastes by
State or Federal regulations. Seller shall provide convenient collection and recycling services
(or disposal services if recycling technology is unavailable) for all universal wastes, which
originate from the Vendor. Hazardous waste manifests or bills of lading must be provided to
City staff upon request. Recycling and reuse of hazardous wastes must occur within the
United States. Universal waste lists and information are available
www.dtsc.ca.gov/HazardousWaste/UniversalWaste/. A hazardous waste list is available at
http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/LEA/Training/wasteclass/yep.htm. Additional information can
be obtained by contacting the City of Palo Alto Hazardous Waste Department at (650)
496-6980.
(2) Zero Waste and Pollution Prevention:
Per Palo Alto City Council policy, the City is targeting to achieve Zero Waste by 2021. The
City must also meet Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit requirements requiring no visible
impact from litter via stormdrains by 2022. To that end the vendor, manufacturer and or
contractor must individually or collaboratively comply with the waste reduction, reuse and
recycling requirements of the City's Zero Waste and Pollution Prevention Programs. Seller
acknowledges and agrees that if Seller fails to fully and satisfactorily comply with these
requirements, the City will suffer, as a result of Seller's failure, substantial damages which
are both extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Therefore, the Seller agrees that in
addition to all other damages to which the City may be entitled, in the event Seller fails to
comply with the below requirements Seller shall pay City as liquidated damages the amounts
specified below. The liquidated damage amount is not a penalty but considered to be a
reasonable estimate of the amount of damages City will suffer as a result of such
non-compliance.
Sellers shall adhere to the standard that all printed materials provided to the City that are
generated from a personal computer and printer including, proposals, quotes, invoices,
reports, and public education materials shall be double-sided, printed on a minimum of 30%

Environmental Services Division (650) 329-2117. Materials printed by a professional printing
company shall be a minimum of 30% post-consumer material or greater and printed with
vegetable based inks. Liquidated damages of $30 per document will be assessed by City for
failure to adhere to this requirement.
All paper packaging must be Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified.
All primary, secondary and shipping (tertiary) packaging be minimized to the maximum
extent feasible while protecting the product being shipped.
All primary, secondary and shipping packaging shall be recyclable in the City's recycling
program. A complete list of items accepted for recycling are found at
www.zerowastepaloalto.org or by calling (650) 496-5910. If any portion is received that
does not meet this requirement, liquidated damages of $235 or a minimum of $50 if the
combined product and shipping cost is $235 or less will be assessed by City for failure to
adhere to this requirement.
Expanded foam plastics (e.g., foam or cushion blocks, trays, packing 'peanuts'), such as
but not limited to polystyrene (aka Styrofoam[tm]), polypropylene, or polyurethane shall not
be used as primary, secondary or tertiary/shipping packaging with the following exceptions:
o Primary packaging made from these materials may be used if the vendor,
manufacturer, contractor individually or collaboratively does one of the following:
(a) takes the material back at the City's convenience and at no cost to the City, or
(b) pays the City of Palo Alto's disposal costs via payment of liquidated damages of
$235, or a minimum of $50 if the combined product and shipping cost is $235 or less.
o Bioplastics that meet ASTM D6400 standards for compostability may be accepted
with approval from the City's Environmental Services Division subject to local municipal
compost facility requirements.
o If approved by the City's Environmental Services Division, a packaging requirement
may be waived if no other viable packaging alternative exists.
Reusable/returnable pallets shall be used and taken back by the Seller, at no additional
cost to the City. Seller shall provide documentation upon request ensuring reuse of pallets
and/or recycling of broken pallets. Liquidated damages of $262 or a minimum of $50 if the
combined product and shipping cost is $262 or less will be assessed by City for failure to
adhere to this requirement.
(3) Energy and Water Efficiency:
Seller shall provide products with an ENERGY STAR, Water Sense or State of California
standard rating, whichever is more efficient, when ratings exist for those products. A life
cycle cost analysis shall be provided to the City upon request and shall at minimum include:
first cost, operating costs, maintenance costs, and disposal costs.

Item 10
Item 10 Staff Report
Item 10: Staff Report Pg. 1 Packet Pg. 128 of 911
BACKGROUND
In accordance with State law, backflow prevention devices require annual testing and
certification. The testing of City of Palo Alto-owned backflow prevention devices must follow
current regulations of the California State Department of Public Health contained in Title 17 of
the California Administrative Code, Chapter 5, Subchapter 1, Group 4, Sections 7583 through
7604.
ANALYSIS
Scope Overview
The City has about 400 backflow devices that need to be tested and certified annually. Prior to
starting work, the contractor is required to meet with City of Palo Alto Cross Connection
Control Staff from the Utilities Department, who will provide prefilled test forms and tags for
known devices. The annual inspections will occur in July, and repairs or replacements will
immediately follow. There are also miscellaneous inspections, repairs, or replacements that
happen throughout the year.
Bid Process
On March 14, 2023, a notice inviting formal bids for Backflow Prevention Device Testing, Repair,
and Certification Services was posted on the PlanetBids website. The bidding period was 15
days. Bids were received from two qualified contractors on March 28, 2023, as listed on the
attached Bid Summary (Attachment A).

$457,791 to $693,979
Staff has reviewed the submitted bids and recommends that the bid of $457,791 submitted by
Stephen Ciari Plumbing and Heating, Inc. be accepted and that Stephen Ciari Plumbing and
Heating, Inc. be declared the lowest responsible bidder. The award of contract1 includes the
base bid, but for a term of one year rather than the three-year term originally included in the
procurement. The change order amount of $14,630 (which equals 10 percent of the total

contract) is requested for related, additional but unforeseen work which may develop during
the contract term. Staff confirmed with the Contractor's State License Board that the contractor
has an active license on file. Staff also confirmed with the California Department of Industrial
Relations (DIR) that the contractor has an active DIR registration.
Contract Cost Increases
The prior three-year contract was $122,325. The new three-year contract total as submitted by
the low bidder was $457,791. As a comparison, individual inspection costs under the previous
contract were $75 whereas for the new contract, they are ranging from $229 to $611.
Prevailing and union wage rates have substantially increased in the last three years.
Additionally, the prior contractor had significant and ongoing performance issues in completing
the required work, which may have been related to their lower costs in comparison to other
contractors. Staff contacted other local cities to ask for cost comparisons, but was unable to
obtain comparisons. Several cities stated that they perform this work in-house. Staff also
contacted one of the contractors who downloaded the bid package but chose not to submit a
bid. The contractor verbally stated a price higher than the two bids that were received as the
bid they had developed but decided not to submit.
Given the significantly higher cost of the new contract, staff recommends approval of a one-
year contract rather than the three-year contract originally intended under the procurement.
After further review, staff believes that the tight timeframe requirement to complete all testing
and any needed repairs may have contributed to higher bids. Staff is reevaluating this
requirement and will adjust the contract specifications to provide greater flexibility to bidders
and complete a new procurement prior to the expiration of the recommended one-year
contract. Additionally, the Utilities Department is considering a potential in-house model under
which Utilities staff would conduct backflow prevention device testing for all water utility
customers.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
Funding for a portion of the first year of the Backflow Prevention Device Testing, Repair, and
Certification Services contract is available in the Fiscal Year 2023 Public Works Department and
Community Services Department operating budgets. For the remaining portion, staff
recommends increasing the Fiscal Year 2023 budget by $55,911 in the Public Works operating
budget and by $55,911 in the Community Services operating budget, and decreasing the Budget
Stabilization Reserve (BSR) by $111,822. This draw would reduce the BSR to $52.8 million, this
reserve level is 19% of General Fund expenses, above the Council target of 18.5% however,
impact the estimates used to develop the FY 2024 Proposed Budget as this use was not
included.

TITLE
Approval of Amendment No. 1 with South Bay Regional Public Safety Training Consortium
(Contract No S23187799) for Fire Academy and Other Training Services extended through
12/31/2023 and increasing the total compensation by $114,370 for a total contract amount not
to exceed $199,000. CEQA status: not a project.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Council approve and authorize the City Manager or their designee
to execute Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. S23187799 with South Bay Regional Public Safety
Training Consortium (Attachment A) for Fire Academy training services and performance
evaluations for Firefighter 1 and 2 qualifications, to extend term to December 31, 2023, and to
increase the contract compensation by $114,370 for the additional services over the extended
term. This amendment results in a revised total contract amount not to exceed amount of
$199,000.
BACKGROUND
The Palo Alto Fire Department has recently hired 12 new Firefighters who require
comprehensive training. After hiring a recruit, each firefighter must undergo training as per the
California State Fire curriculum, which encompasses Firefighter 1 and Firefighter 2
qualifications. The curriculum requires approximately 21 weeks of instruction, with two weeks
of planning before the beginning of the academy.
Training requires an approved facility that meets the specifications of the State Fire Marshal’s
office, with a state-approved classroom and training grounds. South Bay Regional Public Safety
Training Consortium (South Bay) possesses such a facility, and a team of industry experts who
are certified instructors throughout California. In this contract, they will provide the training
site, logistics, instructors, equipment, and all required state documentation to certify
firefighters for the Palo Alto Fire Department.
Item 11
Item 11 Staff Report
Item 11: Staff Report Pg. 1 Packet Pg. 133 of 911
In April 2023, staff executed a contract through June 30, 2023 with South Bay, totaling
$84,630,(Attachment B). This contract exclusively covered the Firefighter 1 Training academy.
An exemption to competitive solicitation was approved by the City Manager in accordance with
PAMC 2.30.360(d) due to South Bay being the only source available to provide services with the
time-sensitive nature of the Fire Department’s requirements and the need for an experienced
training service provider.
ANALYSIS
Given the Fire Department's inability to host the remainder of the Firefighter 2 academy, to
facilitate this additional training staff recommends an amendment to the existing contract with
South Bay, increasing the contract's value by $114,370 and extending its duration to December
31, 2023.
The proposed contract amendment brings the total academy and additional training value to
$199,000, an increase from its original focus on Firefighter 1 training alone. This new total
includes optional courses such as driver training, pump/hydraulic training, and other rescue-
related courses necessary to serve the community.
Previously, from July 2022 to February 2023, the Fire Department contracted with South Bay for
$49,900 for non-hosted Firefighter 1 & Firefighter 2 training. This contract included instruction
for approximately 3 recruits in a Joint Fire Academy using the approved training site of another
fire department. Currently, no joint academy has the capacity to accommodate the current
group of 12 hires.
While South Bay is a commonly used provider across the County of Santa Clara, the Fire
Department aims to participate in a solicitation and competitive bidding process for calendar
year 2024. It is necessary to amend our existing contract to continue new firefighter training
and extend the contract period to the end of calendar year 2023 due to the pressing need for
firefighter staffing and the current timeline of recruiting and training.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
The fiscal impact of this amendment includes an increase in compensation by $114,370, leading
to a new total not-to-exceed contract amount of $199,000. Funds were approved by the
Council to be appropriated for the new hire costs for the 12 recruits as part of the Fiscal Year
2023 Midyear Budget Review (CMR 2212-05151).
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Staff coordinated internally with procurement staff and legal support to review and execute
this amendment.

this Agreement is effective unless it is in writing in accordance with Section 29.4 of this

PROPOSED CITY OF PALO ALTO
Investment Policy
Fiscal Year 2023-24
With No Changes
INTRODUCTION
The City of Palo Alto invests its pooled idle cash according to State of California law and the charter
of the City of Palo Alto. In particular, the City follows “The Prudent Investor Standard” cited in the
State Government Code (Section 53600.3). Under this standard, all governing bodies of local
agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the City are trustees and
therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting,
purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care,
skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to
the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person
acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a
like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the
agency.
INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY
The basic principles underlying Palo Alto's investment philosophy is to ensure the safety of public
funds, provide that sufficient money is always available to meet current expenditures, and achieve a
reasonable rate of return on its investments.
The City's preferred and chief practice is to buy securities and to hold them to their date of maturity
rather than to trade or sell securities prior to maturity. The City may, however, elect to sell a security
prior to its maturity should there be a significant financial need. If securities are purchased and held
to their maturity date, then any changes in the market value of those securities during their life will
have no effect on their principal value. Under a buy and hold philosophy, the City is able to protect
its invested principal. The economy, the money markets, and various financial institutions (such as
the Federal Reserve System) are monitored carefully to make prudent investments and to assess the
condition of the City’s portfolio.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
The primary objectives, in priority order, of investment activities shall be safety, liquidity, and yield:

1. Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.
Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of
capital in the overall portfolio. The objective will be to mitigate credit risk and interest
rate risk.
a) Credit risk is the risk that an obligation will not be paid and a loss will result. The
City will seek to minimize this risk by:
Limiting investment to the safest types of securities or minimum credit
quality rating as listed in the “Authorized Investment” section
Diversifying its investments among the types of securities that are
authorized under this investment policy
b) Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the
value of an investor’s portfolio. For example, an investor with large holdings in
long-term bonds has assumed significant interest rate risk because the value of
the bonds will fall if interest rates rise. The City can minimize this risk by:
Buying and holding its securities until maturity
Structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash
flow requirements
To further achieve the objective of safety, the amount that can be invested in all
investment categories, excluding obligations of the U.S. Government and its agencies, is
limited either as a percentage of the portfolio or by a specific dollar amount. These
limits are defined under the “Authorized Investments” section.
2. Liquidity: Liquidity is the second most important objective of the investment
program. The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating
requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by maintaining
a portion of the portfolio in liquid money market mutual funds or local government
investment pools. In addition, the City will maintain one month’s net cash needs in
short term and/or liquid investments and at least $50 million shall be maintained in
securities maturing in less than two years. Although the City’s practice is to buy and
hold securities to maturity, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the
portfolio will consist of securities with active secondary or resale markets should the
need to sell a security prior to maturity arises.
3. Yield: Yield on the City’s portfolio is last in priority among investment objectives.
The investment portfolio shall be designed to obtain a market rate of return that reflects
the authorized investments, risk constraints, and liquidity needs outlined in the City’s
investment policy. Compared to similar sized cities, the City of Palo Alto should be
able to take advantage of its relatively large reserve balances to achieve higher yields
through long-term investments. In addition, the City will strive to maintain the level of
investment of idle funds as close to 100 percent as possible.

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) RESPONSIBILITIES
In addition to and subordinate to the Safety, Liquidity, and Yield investment objectives,
investments that support sound environmental, social and governance (ESG) objectives are also
considered. While the City’s portfolio is not classified as an ESG portfolio, investments in
entities that support community well-being through practices that emphasize safe and
environmentally sound objectives; fair labor practices; and equality of rights regardless of sex,
race, age, disability, or sexual orientation, is encouraged. Direct investments in entities that
manufacture tobacco products, firearms, and engage in direct production or drilling of fossil
fuels is discouraged.
This section applies to new investments (after November 5, 2018) only and does not require
divestment of existing investments. Investments in Certificates of Deposit (CDs) and Negotiable
Certificates of Deposit are exempt from the ESG investing objective.
SCOPE
A. This investment policy shall apply to all financial assets of the City of Palo Alto as accounted
for in the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), including but not limited to the
following funds:
1. General Fund
2. Special Revenue Funds
3. Debt Service Funds
4. Capital Project Fund
5. Enterprise Funds
6. Internal Service Funds
7. Trust and Agency Funds
B. The policy does not cover funds held by the California Public Employees Retirement System
(CalPERS), the California Employers’ Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT), Deferred Compensation
programs (e.g. ICMA, Hartford), the Authority for California Cities Excess Liability (ACCEL),
and the Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) Section 115 Irrevocable Trust.
C. Investments of bond proceeds shall be governed by the provisions of the related bond
indentures.
GENERAL INVESTMENT GUIDELINES
1. The maximum stated final maturity of individual securities in the portfolio should be

Item 12

Palo Alto Investment

liquid investments.
4. At least $50 million shall be maintained in securities maturing in less than two (2)
years.
5. Should the ratio of the market value of the portfolio to the book value of the portfolio
fall below 95 percent, the Administrative Services Department will report this fact to
the City Council within a reasonable time frame and evaluate whether there is any risk
of holding any of the securities to maturity.
6. Commitments to purchase securities newly introduced on the market shall be made no
more than three (3) working days before pricing.
7. Whenever possible, the City will obtain three or more quotations on the purchase or
sale of comparable securities and take the higher yield on purchase or higher price on
sale. This rule will not apply to new issues, which are purchased at market no more
than three (3) working days before pricing, as well as to LAIF, City of Palo Alto
bonds, money market accounts and mutual funds, all of which shall be evaluated
separately.
8. Where the Investment Policy specifies a percentage limitation for a particular category
of investment, that percentage is applicable only at the date of purchase. A later
increase or decrease in a percentage resulting from a change in the portfolio’s assets or
values shall not constitute a violation of that restriction. As soon as possible,
percentage limitations will be restored as investments mature in each category.

APPENDIX A
EXPLANATION OF PERMITTED INVESTMENTS
1. U.S. Government Securities: United States Treasury notes, bonds, bills, or certificates of
indebtedness or those for which the faith and credit of the United States are pledged for the
payment of principal and interest.
2. U.S. Government Agency Securities: U.S. Government Agency Obligations include the
securities of the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), Federal Land Banks (FLB),
Federal Intermediate Credit Banks (FICB), banks for cooperatives, Federal Home Loan Banks
(FHLB), Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation (FHLMC), Student Loan Marketing Association (SLMA), Small Business
Administration (SBA), Federal Farm Credit (FFC), and Federal Agricultural Mortgage
Corporation (FAMC or FMAC). Federal Agency securities are debt obligations that
essentially result from lending programs of the Government. Federal agency securities differ
from other types of securities, as well as among themselves. Their characteristics depend on
the issuing agency. It is possible to distinguish three types of issues: (A) participation
certificates (pooled securities), (B) Certificates of interest (pooled loans), (C) notes, bonds, and
debentures. The securities of a few agencies are explicitly backed by the full faith and credit
of the U.S. Government. All other issues purchased by the City have the de facto backing
from the federal government, and it is highly unlikely that the government would let any
agency default on its obligations.
3. Certificates of Deposit: A certificate of deposit (CDs) is a receipt for funds deposited in a
bank, savings bank, or savings and loan association for a specified period of time at a specified
rate of interest. Denominations are $250,000 and up. The first $250,000 of a certificate of
deposit is guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), if the deposit is
with a bank or savings bank, or the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF), if the deposit
is with a savings and loan. CDs with a face value in excess of $250,000 can be collateralized
by U.S. Government Agency and Treasury Department securities or first mortgage loans.
Government securities must be at least 110 percent of the face value of the CD collateralized in
excess of the first $250,000. The value of first mortgages must be at least 150 percent of the
face value of the CD balance insured in excess of the first $250,000. Generally, CDs are issued
for more than 30 days and the maturity can be selected by the purchaser.
4. Bankers' Acceptance: A Banker's Acceptance (BA) is a negotiable time draft or bill of
exchange drawn on and accepted by a commercial bank. Acceptance of the draft irrevocably
obligates the bank to pay the bearer the face amount of the draft at maturity. BAs are usually
created to finance the import and export of goods, the shipment of goods within the United
States and storage of readily marketable staple commodities. In over 70 years of usage in the
United States, there has been no known instance of principal loss to any investor in BAs. In
addition to the guarantee by the accepting bank, the transaction is identified with a specific
commodity. Warehouse receipts verify that the pledged commodities exist, and, by definition,
these commodities are readily marketable. The sale of the underlying goods generates the
Item 12
Attachment A - City of
Palo Alto Investment
Policy - Fiscal Year 2024
Item 12: Staff Report Pg. 13 Packet Pg. 174 of 911
Fiscal Year 2023 12
necessary funds to liquidate the indebtedness.
BAs enjoy marketability since the Federal Reserve Bank is authorized to buy and sell prime
BAs with maturities of up to nine months. The Federal Reserve Bank enters into repurchase
agreements in the normal course of open market operations with BA dealers.
As are sold at a discount from par. An acceptance is tied to a specific loan transaction;
therefore, the amount and maturity of the acceptance is fixed.
5. Commercial Paper: Commercial paper notes are unsecured promissory notes of industrial
corporations, utilities, and bank holding companies. Interest is discounted from par and
calculated using actual number of days on a 360-day year. The notes are in bearer form, with
maturities up to 270 days selected by the purchaser, and denominations generally start at
$100,000. There is a small secondary market for commercial paper notes and an investor may
sell a note prior to maturity.
Commercial paper notes are backed by unused lines of credit from major banks. Some issuer's
notes are insured, while some are backed by irrevocable letters of credit from major banks.
State law limits a City to investments in United States corporations having assets in excess of
five hundred million dollars with an "A" or higher rating by a nationally recognized rating
service for the issuer's debentures. Cities may not invest more than 25 percent of idle cash in
commercial paper.
6. Local Agency Investment Fund Demand Deposit: The Local Agency Investment Fund
LAIF) was established by the State to enable treasurers to place funds in a pool for
investments. The City is limited to an investment of the amount allowed by LAIF (currently
$75 million). LAIF has been particularly beneficial to those jurisdictions with small portfolios.
Palo Alto uses this fund for short-term investment, liquidity, and yield.
7. Repurchase Agreements: A Repurchase Agreement (REPOS) is not a security, but a
contractual arrangement between a financial institution or dealer and an investor. The
agreement normally can run for one or more days. The investor puts up funds for a certain
number of days at a stated yield. In return, the investor takes title to a given block of securities
as collateral. At maturity, the securities are repurchased and the funds repaid, plus interest.
Usually, amounts are $500,000 or more, but some REPOS can be smaller.
8. Money Market Deposit Accounts: Money Market Deposit Accounts are market-sensitive
bank accounts, which are available to depositors at any time, without penalty. The interest rate
is generally comparable to rates on money market mutual funds, though any individual bank's
rate may be higher or lower. These accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation or the Savings Association Insurance Fund.

Palo Alto Investment
Policy - Fiscal Year 2024
Item 12: Staff Report Pg. 14 Packet Pg. 175 of 911
Fiscal Year 2023 13
9. Mutual Funds: Mutual funds are shares of beneficial interest issued by diversified
management companies, as defined by Section 23701 M of the Revenue and Taxation Code.
To be eligible for investment, these funds must:
a) Attain the highest ranking in the highest letter and numerical rating provided by
not less than two of the three largest nationally recognized rating services; or
b) Have an investment advisor registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission with not less than five years’ experience investing in the securities
and obligations, as authorized by subdivisions (a) to (n), inclusive, of Section
53601 of the California Government Code, and with assets under management in
excess of five hundred million dollars; and
c) Invest solely in those securities and obligations authorized by Sections 53601 and
53635 of the California Government Code. Where the Investment Policy of the
City of Palo Alto may be more restrictive than the State Code, the Policy
authorizes investments in mutual funds that shall have minimal investment in
securities otherwise restricted by the City's Policy. Minimal investment is
defined as less than 5 percent of the mutual fund portfolio; and
d) The purchase price of shares of beneficial interest purchased shall not include
any commission that these companies may charge.
e) Have a net asset value of $1.00.
10. Callable Securities and Multi-Step-ups: Callable securities are defined as fixed interest rate
government agency securities that give the issuing agency the option of returning the invested
funds at a specific point in time to the purchaser. Multi-step-ups are government agency
securities in which the interest rate increases ("steps-up") at preset intervals, and which also
have a callable option that allows the issuing agency to return the invested funds at a preset
interval. Callable and multi-step-ups are permitted, provided that:
the potential call dates are known at the time of purchase;
the interest rates at which they “step-up” are known at the time of purchase; and
the entire face value of the security is redeemed at the call date.

11. Negotiable Certificates of Deposit (NCD): NCDs are large-dollar-amount, short-term
certificate of deposit. Such certificates are issued by large banks and bought mainly by
corporations and institutional investors. They are payable either to the bearer or to the order of
the depositor, and, being negotiable, they enjoy an active secondary market, where they trade
in round lots of $5 million. Although they can be issued in any denomination from $100,000
up, the typical amount is $1 million also called a Jumbo Certificate of Deposit.
State law prohibits the investment of local agency funds in negotiable certificates of deposit
issued by a state or federal credit union if a member of the legislative body of the local agency,
or any person with investment decision making authority in the administrative, manager’s,
budget, auditor-controller’s, or treasurer’s offices of the local agency also serves on the board
of directors, other credit committee or the supervisory committee of the state or federal credit
union issuing the negotiable certificate of deposit.
12. Medium-Term Corporate Notes: All corporate and depository institution debt securities
with a maximum remaining maturity of five years or less, issued by corporations organized
and operating within the United States or by depository institutions licensed by the United
States or any state and operating within the United States. According to California
Government Code Section 53601, “Notes eligible for investment under this subdivision shall
be rated in a rating category of “A” or its equivalent or better by a nationally recognized rating
service. Purchase of medium-term notes shall include other instruments authorized by this
section and shall not exceed 30 percent of the agency’s moneys that may be invested pursuant
to this section.”
13. Supranational Securities: California Government Code Section53601 defines allowable
supranational securities as United States dollar denominated senior unsecured unsubordinated
obligations issued or unconditionally guaranteed by the International Bank for Reconstruction
and Development, the International Finance Corporation, and Inter-American Development
Bank. Supranationals are well capitalized and in most cases have strong credit support from
contingent capital calls from their member countries. Section 53601 was amended effective
January 1, 2015 to allow local agencies to invest in the senior debt obligations of these three
supranational issuers which are eligible for purchase and resale within the United States. These
entities were established with the purpose of ending poverty and raising the standard of living
around the world through sustainable economic growth.

APPENDIX B
EXPLANATION OF PROHIBITED INVESTMENTS
1. Reverse Repurchase Agreements: A Reverse Repurchase Agreement (Reverse REPO) is a
contractual agreement by the investor (e.g. local agency) to post a security it owns as
collateral, and a bank or dealer temporarily exchanges cash for this collateral, for a specific
period of time, at an agreed-upon interest rate. During the period of the agreement, the local
agency may use this cash for any purpose. At maturity, the securities are repurchased from the
bank or dealer, plus interest.
California law contains a number of restrictions on the use of Reverse REPOS by local
agencies.
2. Derivatives: A derivative is a financial instrument created from, or whose value depends on (is
derived from), the value of one or more underlying assets or indices. The term "derivative"
refers to instruments or features, such as collateralized mortgage obligations, forwards, futures,
currency and interest rate swaps, options, caps and floors. Except for those callable and multi-
step-up securities as described under Permitted Investments, derivatives are prohibited.
Certain derivative products have characteristics which could include high price volatility,
liquid markets, products that are not market-tested, products that are highly leveraged, products
requiring a high degree of sophistication to manage, and products that are difficult to value.
According to California law, a local agency shall not invest any funds in inverse floaters, range
notes, or interest-only strips that are derived from a pool of mortgages.

GLOSSARY OF INVESTMENT TERMS
AGENCIES: Federal agency and instrumentality securities.
ASKED: The price at which securities are offered.
BID: The price offered by a buyer of securities (when one sells securities, one asks for a bid).
See “Offer”.
BROKER: A person or institution that conducts investment transactions on behalf of the buyer
and seller of the investment and earns a commission on the transaction.
COLLATERAL: Securities, evidence of deposit, or other property, which a borrower pledges
to secure repayment of a loan. Also refers to securities pledged by a bank to secure deposits of
public monies.
ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT (ACFR): The official annual report
for the City of Palo Alto. It includes combined financial statements for each individual fund and
account group prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and
pronouncements set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The
ACFR also includes supporting schedules that are necessary to demonstrate compliance with
finance-related legal and contractual provisions, extensive introductory material, and a detailed
statistical section.
COUPON: The annual rate of interest that a bond’s issuer promises to pay the bondholder on
the bond’s face value or the certificate attached to a bond evidencing interest due on a payment
date.
DEALER: A dealer, as opposed to a broker, acts as a principal in all transactions, buying and
selling for his own account.
DEBENTURE: A bond secured only by the general credit of the issuer.
DELIVERY VERSUS PAYMENT: There are two methods of delivery of securities: (1)

DIVERSIFICATION: Dividing investment funds among a variety of securities that offer
independent returns.
FEDERAL AGRICULTURAL MORTGAGE CORPORATION (“FAMC” or “FMAC”): A
federal agency established in 1988 to provide a secondary market for farm mortgage loans.
Informally called Farmer Mac.
FEDERAL CREDIT AGENCIES: Agencies of the Federal Government that were established to
supply credit to various classes of institutions and individuals (e.g., S&Ls, small business firms,
students, farmers, farm cooperatives, and exporters).
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION (“FDIC”): A federal agency that insures
all types of deposits received at an insured bank, including deposits in a checking account,
negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) account, savings account, money market deposit account
(MMDA) or time deposit such as a certificate of deposit (CD). FDIC insurance covers depositors'
accounts at each insured bank, dollar-for-dollar, including principal and any accrued interest through
the date of the insured bank's closing, up to the insurance limit.
The FDIC does not insure money invested in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, life insurance policies,
annuities or municipal securities, even if these investments are purchased at an insured bank. The
FDIC does not insure U.S. Treasury bills, bonds or notes, but these investments are backed by the
full faith and credit of the United States government.
The standard maximum deposit insurance amount is described as the “SMDIA” in FDIC regulations.
The SMDIA is $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE: The rate of interest at which Fed funds are traded. This rate is
currently pegged by the Federal Reserve through open-market operations.
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANKS (“FHLB”): Government-sponsored wholesale banks
(currently 12 regional banks) which lend funds and provide correspondent banking services to
member commercial banks, thrift institutions, credit unions, and insurance companies. The mission
of the FHLBs is to liquefy the housing-related assets of its members, who must purchase stock in
their District Bank.
FEDERAL NATIONAL MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION (“FNMA”): FNMA, like GNMA, was
chartered under the Federal National Mortgage Association Act in 1938. FNMA is a federal
corporation working under the auspices of the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD). It is the largest single provider of residential mortgage funds in the United States. Fannie
Mae, as the corporation is called, is a private stockholder-owned corporation. The corporation’s
purchases include a variety of adjustable mortgages and second loans, in addition to fixed-rate
mortgages. FNMA’s securities are also highly liquid and are widely accepted. FNMA assumes and
guarantees that all security holders will receive timely payment of principal and interest.
FEDERAL OPEN MARKET COMMITTEE (“FOMC”): The FOMC consists of seven

members of the Federal Reserve Board and five of the 12 Federal Reserve Bank Presidents. The
President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank is a permanent member, while the other Presidents
serve on a rotating basis. The Committee periodically meets to set Federal Reserve guidelines
regarding purchases and sales of government securities in the open market, as a means of influencing
the volume of bank credit and money.
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM: The central bank of the United States created by Congress and
consisting of a seven-member Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., 12 regional banks, and
about 5,700 commercial banks that are members of the system.

securities are backed by the FHA, VA, or FMHM mortgages. The term “pass-throughs” is often
used to describe Ginnie Maes.
LIQUIDITY: A liquid asset is one that can be converted easily and rapidly into cash without a
substantial loss of value. In the money market, a security is said to be liquid if the spread between
bid and asked prices is narrow, and reasonable amount can be done at those quotes.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCY: A local government agency is any city, county, city and
county, district, or other local governmental body or corporation, including the California State
Universities (CSU) and University of California (UC) systems, K-12 schools and community
colleges empowered to expend public funds.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT FUND (“LAIF”): Monies from local governmental
units may be remitted to the California State Treasurer for deposit in this special fund for the purpose
of investment.
MARKET VALUE: The price at which a security is trading and could presumably be purchased or
sold.
MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT: A written contract covering all future transactions
between the parties to repurchase-reverse repurchase agreements that establish each party’s rights in
the transactions. A master agreement will often specify, among other things, the right of the buyer
(lender) to liquidate the underlying securities in the event of default by the seller (borrower).
MATURITY: The date upon which the principal or stated value of an investment becomes due and
payable.
MONEY MARKET: The market in which short-term debt instruments (e.g., bills, commercial

OPEN MARKET OPERATIONS: Purchases and sales of government and certain other securities
in the open market by the New York Federal Reserve Bank, as directed by the FOMC in order to
influence the volume of money and credit in the economy. Purchases inject reserves into the bank

PRUDENT INVESTOR RULE: An investment standard cited in the California Government Code
Section 53600 et seq. Under this standard, all governing bodies of local agencies or persons
authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the City are trustees and therefore fiduciaries
subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring,
exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and
diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to the general economic
conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and
familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like
aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency.

53601 allows local agencies to purchase the United States dollar denominated senior unsecured
unsubordinated obligations issued or unconditionally guaranteed by the International Bank for
Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), International Finance Corporation (IFC), or Inter-
American Development Bank (IADB).
TIME CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT: A non-negotiable certificate of deposit, which cannot be

CITY COUNCIL
Staff Report
From: City Manager
Report Type: CONSENT CALENDAR
Lead Department: Planning and Development Services
Meeting Date: June 19, 2023
Report #: 2301-0903
TITLE
City Council Appointment of the Castilleja Neighborhood Committee in Accordance With
Condition Number 33 Contained in Record of Land Use Action 2022-22 Authorizing
Redevelopment of Private School at 1310 Bryant Street (Castilleja School). Environmental
Assessment: Exempt from CEQA Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council appoint Bruce McLeod, Rob Levitsky and Hank Sousa to serve two-
year terms on the Council-appointed Neighborhood Committee.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Last year the City Council approved several discretionary entitlements and a legislative change
to the municipal code to enable the redevelopment and increase enrollment for Castilleja
School located at the subject address. The project received significant public input and in its
deliberation, the City Council added a condition of approval requiring the formation of a
Council-appointed neighborhood committee to ensure opportunities for continued dialogue
between the school and area residents concerned about neighborhood impacts.
Condition number 33 on the record of land use action1 sets for the requirement for a three-
person committee that has the following advisory responsibilities:
I. Review transportation demand management reports and performance;
II. Review impacts related to special events and make recommendation to the planning
and development services director on future increases to the number of special events;
III. Review noise complaints and other impacts on the neighboring community related to
these conditions of approval;

IV. Coordinate with the school in organizing twice annual community meetings; and,
V. Provide recommendations to the planning and development services director on
whether the school has met conditions that would trigger changes in student
enrollment.
The committee is charged with convening within 30 days of submission of a transportation
demand management report and as needed to review other issues within its purview. Any
recommendation from the committee shall be submitted to the planning and development
director within 14 days of the meeting. As a Council-created committee, all meetings are
subject to the Brown Act which requires that meetings be noticed 72 hours in advance,
prohibits committee members from deliberating over items under their purview outside of
noticed meetings, and prohibits or to receive information serially from other committee
members.
The condition requiring a neighborhood committee does not stipulate a process for selecting
committee members and staff has not engaged in a formal process to solicit names for
recommendation. Forty-two residents living in the neighborhood that includes Castilleja School
have, on their own accord, advanced three names of individuals they would like the Council to
consider for appointment. Additionally, a fourth individual, Barbara Hazlett, submitted an email
to staff requesting consideration. Both of these records are included with this report for the
Council’s consideration for appointment.
The three names advanced by some of the area residents and recommended by staff for
appointment include:
•Bruce McLeod
•Rob Levitsky
•Hank Sousa
As Castilleja has submitted building permit plans for redevelopment and given the amount of
time that has lapsed since this project was approved, staff recommends Council appoint the
three individuals supported by the area residents in the attached document. In two years when
this process is repeated, staff will formalize the effort and prepare a brief application process;
responses will be forwarded to Council for its consideration.
If Council supports the recommended candidates, staff will follow up with a request for each
committee member to sign an affidavit asserting they live within 500 feet of Castilleja School
and understand the individual and committee requirements under the Brown Act.
While this action is being considered on the City Council’s consent calendar, if any three
Councilmembers would like to discuss or deliberate on the neighborhood committee

assignments or process, this item could be pulled from consent and scheduled for a future
public hearing.
As a separate effort in August, staff will schedule a public hearing for the City Council to review
the final form version of the transportation demand management plan previously approved by
the City Council for the school on June 6, 2022. If the subject item is pulled from consent, staff
would recommend scheduling both matters at the same time.
RESOURCE IMPACT
The appointment of these individuals to the Castilleja Neighborhood Committee does
not result in a resource impact. Future more formal processes as well as support of
the Brown Act body may require staffing resources.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Staff has not engaged in a formal process to solicit names for recommendation or
selection to this committee. Forty-two residents living in the neighborhood that
includes Castilleja School, on their own accord, advanced three names of individuals
they would like the Council to consider for appointment. Staff will formalize the
effort and prepare a brief application process; responses will be forwarded to Council
for its consideration.

TITLE
Authorization for the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute a Memorandum of Understanding
and Funding Agreement with Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (Caltrain) and the City of
Menlo Park Regarding Emergency Repairs to the North Bank of the San Francisquito Creek
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council authorize the City Manager or their designee to negotiate and
execute a Memorandum of Understanding and Funding Agreement with the Peninsula Corridor
Joint Powers Board and the City of Menlo Park for Emergency Repairs to the North Bank of the
San Francisquito Creek
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In early January 2023, after a week of heavy rain, Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers
Board/Caltrain (Caltrain) engineering staff inspected the Caltrain bridge over San Francisquito
Creek (SFC) at Alma Street and discovered that storms had eroded the soil on the north creek
bank supporting the foundation of the rail bridge, threatening the integrity of the structure. On
March 29, 2023, Caltrain declared an emergency, and the Caltrain board authorized staff to
enter into contracts for the purpose of conducting emergency repairs.
In early April 2023, staff from Public Works Engineering Services Division identified erosion on
the same northern creek bank supporting the Alma Street Bicycle Bridge, which was
constructed and is maintained by the City of Palo Alto, with the City of Menlo Park responsible
for 50 percent of maintenance costs under a 1996 maintenance agreement.1. On April 7, 2023,
the City’s on-call structural engineering consultant, Biggs Cardosa & Associates, conducted a
structural assessment of the Alma Street Bicycle Bridge. The consultant recommended that the
north creek bank be restored in conjunction with Caltrain’s bank restoration to prevent further
erosion that could threaten the stability of the Alma Street Bicycle Bridge. Additionally, the high
creek flows undermined a storm drain outfall owned and maintained by the City of Menlo Park.

The two bridges, outfall and repair area can be seen in Attachment A.
Staff from Caltrain, Menlo Park, Palo Alto and San Francisquito Creek Joint Powers Authority
began meeting biweekly in April to discuss the needed repair work on the SFC north
embankment. Caltrain has identified a consultant, AECOM, to complete the design and a
contractor, Walsh Construction, to do the construction. Caltrain has also started discussions
with the permitting agencies to obtain the necessary permits to do the work in the creek during
the limited construction access of April 15 to October 15. The City recommends authorizing the
City Manager to negotiate and sign a Memorandum of Understanding and Funding Agreement
(MOU) to partner with Caltrain and the City of Menlo Park in completing these necessary creek
embankment repairs prior to next winter. If Council does not provide authorization for the City
Manager to negotiate and sign the MOU agreement, the City would not be able to design,
permit, and make repairs on its own to the creek embankment prior to the upcoming winter
season. Additionally, if the MOU is not authorized, staff would need to monitor erosion and
potentially close the bridge until the City was able to develop its own repair project.
The scope of work for the project includes the implementation of measures for the stabilization
of the north bank of the SFC in the immediate vicinity of the SFC Caltrain Bridge, the City of
Menlo Park drain outfall and Alma Street Bicycle Bridge. Required activities are anticipated to
include, but are not limited to:
▪Topographic survey and site observations
▪Hydraulic modeling and engineering design
▪Acquisition of permits and environmental clearances
▪Preparation and negotiation of construction contract(s)
▪Material procurement and construction services
▪Construction management and inspection
▪Safety oversight and operational safety support
▪Project management and project controls
▪Administration for consultant and construction contracts
▪Public outreach and community engagement
▪Project construction per plans and specifications
▪Post construction environmental compliance, monitoring and mitigation
Additionally, the MOU will include requirements for a no-cost encroachment permit for
construction access via the south side of SFC. Special consideration and care will be taken for
protection/restoration of El Palo Alto Park and for protection of the El Palo Alto tree. Caltrain’s
project team is reviewing project drawings and lessons learned from the 2013 Bonde Weir Fish
Passage Improvement project to limit construction impacts. Specific construction impacts will
be better known as the design progresses this summer. The most recent update to Caltrain’s

Finance Committee on May 22, 2023 can be found here.2 Councilmember Burt currently serves
on the Caltrain Board.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
Plans are currently at 30% design and the estimated project cost is $5.3 million. Staff will
negotiate with Caltrain and Menlo Park to determine what portion of the repair cost would be
due to the Alma Street Bicycle Bridge area. Staff will return to Council after the summer break
to update the progress on the MOU and bring a budget amendment for the City’s funding share
as there is no funding programmed for this activity at this time. This funding is anticipated to
come from the capital Infrastructure Reserve.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Staff from Caltrain, San Francisquito Creek Joint Powers Authority and the cities of Menlo Park
and Palo Alto are meeting biweekly to discuss updates on MOU agreement language, design,
permitting, and construction logistics. Staff from all three partnering agencies will also provide
outreach during construction to all users of the facilities as well as nearby residents on any
construction impacts.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The level of environmental review required under CEQA will be determined by Caltrain, as the
lead agency, as part of project design and permitting.

TITLE
Adopt an Ordinance Amending Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC) Section 9.10.060 (f) and
Adoption of a Resolution to Modify the Administrative Penalty Schedule Related to Enforcement
of the City’s Gas-Powered Leaf Blower Ban. Environmental Analysis: Not Subject to CEQA Review
in Accordance with CEQA Guidelines 15061(b)(3).
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council adopt:
(1) Ordinance (Attachment A) amending PAMC Title 9, Public Peace, Morals, and Safety,
Chapter 9.10, Noise, Section 9.10.060 to expand the scope of the gas-powered leaf blower
ban in residential neighborhoods; and
(2) Resolution (Attachment B) increasing the administrative penalty related to gas-powered
leaf blower use in residential neighborhoods.
BACKGROUND
On February 6, 2023, the City Council held a public hearing to consider staff recommended
changes to the noise ordinance and penalty schedule to improve the efficiency enforcing the
City’s gas-powered leaf blower ban in residential districts. The recommended amendments
remove a five-day citation “waiting period” that impedes the City’s ability to cite violators in the
act of using prohibited equipment. Another recommended amendment would clarify and assert
the City’s ability to assign property owner liability for knowingly hiring or allowing a person to
use a gas-powered leaf blower on their residentially zoned property. Staff also recommended
adjustments to the City’s penalty schedule related to gas-powered leaf blower use to be aligned
with other municipal code violations. The staff report and City Council action minutes from
Item 15
Item 15 Staff Report
Item 15: Staff Report Pg. 1 Packet Pg. 195 of 911
February 6, 2023 is available online and contains additional information in support the City’s
interest to advance these changes.1
The City Council approved the staff recommendations, which is the reason this ordinance is being
presented to the City Council on the consent calendar. In addition to the recommended actions,
the City Council also referred to the Policy and Services Committee a discussion considering a ban
on gas-powered leaf blowers citywide and to evaluate the replacement of internal combustion
engines for other gardening equipment for residences and commercial properties. This work has
been assigned to the planning and development services department and is included on its
workplan but is currently un-resourced as staff resources are currently focused on other Council
priorities.
The City Council also directed staff to incorporate the concept of ‘constructive knowledge’ of the
property owner or property manager. A property owner or property manager may not know that
a gas-powered leaf blower is being used on their property, such as those residents who work
outside of the home. Without actual or constructive knowledge that a gas-powered leaf blower
is being used, an owner/property manager may not have an opportunity to cure an issue and
such citations could be overturned if challenged. The remedy is to provide some form of notice
to the property owner or property manager with a timeline or opportunity to cure the violation
before being cited. Existing practice already includes a notice provision that the City’s code
enforcement staff does and would continue to use any time a violation is alleged (reported by a
community member or witnessed by City staff) or when seeking compliance from the individual
or entity hiring the gardener. Accordingly, no further amendment to the existing municipal code
is required as this approach is consistent with existing rules and practices.
Another concern the City Council considered with regard to enforcement was related to equity
and a concern that a gardener being cited for violating the ordinance may be experience the
impact of a fee penalty more acutely than a property owner or property management company.
To help mitigate this concern, staff presented a robust public engagement strategy intended to
inform gardeners and homeowners of the existing and anticipated rule changes. This strategy has
been previously endorsed by the City Council on February 6, 2023 and is summarized below in
the community engagement section of this report. Additionally, code enforcement officers have
long exercised discretion in the field and generally employ a strategy to gain voluntary
compliance over aggressive citation and penalty fee collection. An overriding principle is to first
inform and then seek compliance. When needed, follow up with a time to cure and fee penalty
thereafter if needed.
Notwithstanding this strategy, leaf blower enforcement consumes a significant amount of city
resources and the Council authorized the hiring of a full-time employee to address community
concerns regarding noise and air pollution associated with gas-powered leaf blowers. After

several months of implementing its community engagement strategy, code enforcement officers
will seek to obtain increased compliance to ameliorate these community concerns, including
issuing citations upon observation and citing homeowners and property managers after sending
notice in accordance with the Council’s interest to ensure ‘constructive knowledge’.
DISCUSSION
The attached ordinance and resolution implement the Council’s direction to improve the
effectiveness of the City’s enforcement of gas-powered leaf blowers in residential districts. This
is accomplished in several ways. First, it removes a 5-day waiting period enabling a code
enforcement officer to cite when a violation of the ban is witnessed. Second, the ordinance
clarifies the code enforcement officer can cite the operator, the property owner or other entity
responsible for hiring the gardener using a gas-powered leaf blower in violation of the ban. At
the officer’s discretion one or all parties could be cited. Third, the penalty fee would be increased
with the expectation that a higher penalty may encourage a transition to electric or battery-
powered leaf blowers. Fourth, staff will continue its outreach and engagement strategy to
communicate local requirements, highlight actions gardeners and property owners can take to
support compliance and potential implications for non-compliance. Lastly, staff will ensure
proper notice is given to provide constructive knowledge and continue an effort that promotes
voluntary compliance over aggressive citation and penalty fee issuance.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Council endorsed the outreach strategy outlined in the February 6, 2023 report; actions taken to
date include:
•Created a website2 that provides information on the City’s rules, information on
converting to electric or battery-powered equipment, flyers to download and share with
neighbors, and links to other resources;
•Communicated via the City’s social media platforms information about the City’s ban;
•Attended Palo Alto neighborhood meetings to share information about the City’s
ordinance and enforcement efforts;
•Hosted a community meeting in April 2022 at the Mitchell Park Library; and,
•Informed gardeners and property owners of local requirements when a violation is
observed with the goal to encourage voluntary compliance.
Additional efforts underway or to be implemented in the next several months:
•Continue with efforts and strategies listed above;
•Enhance the City’s gas-powered leaf blower ban website with additional information,
including links where gardeners and homeowners can access available financial assistance
to convert to electric or battery blowers;

•Prepare door hangers for placement when violations are observed or alleged;
•Explore options for including information in utility meter billing (paper and online); and,
•Reach out to gardener organizations and individual businesses as able to inform them of
new changes and compliance expectations.
The subject ordinance, if approved by Council would have a second reading in August and would
become effective in September. Adoption of the ordinance provides an opportunity for staff to
reinforce public awareness of the new provisions through various City Communications channels
including social media, printed flyers, and other initiatives described in this report. Staff
anticipates using public engagement and education for the balance of the year to encourage
voluntary compliance; notices of violation may be issued to establish constructive knowledge.
Beginning in 2024, staff anticipates issuing citations, when warranted.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
Enforcement and outreach related to the gas-powered leaf blower ban can be accomplished with
existing department resources and staffing. The City may collect slightly more penalty fee
collection in 2024.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section
15061(b)(3), the recommendation in this report does not qualify as a project because it can be
seen with certainty that the proposed ordinance and amendment to the penalty fee schedule
would not have an adverse impact on the environment.

Ordinance No. _____
Ordinance of the Council of the City of Palo Alto Amending Palo Alto Municipal
Code Section 9.10.060(f) to Expand Liability for the Use of Gas-Powered Leaf
Blowers and to Exempt Enforcement from Mandatory Warning Provisions.
The Council of the City of Palo Alto ORDAINS as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings and declarations. The City Council finds and declares as follows:
1. The use of gas-powered leaf blowers generates noise and air pollution, which can
have a negative effect on the quality-of-life for residents.
2. In 2021, the State of California approved AB 1346, which is intended to regulate
“Small off-road engines (SORE), which are used primarily in lawn and garden equipment.” The
California Legislature found that the NOx and ROG emissions from SORE “were higher than
emissions from light-duty passenger cars” in 2020. The Legislature also found that “zero-
emission equivalents to all SORE equipment” already exist.
3. The City currently prohibits the operation of leaf blowers powered by internal
combustion engines in residential zones.
4. The City Council now desires to prohibit property owners (and those in control of
real property) from allowing gardeners or any other person to use a gas-powered leaf blower on
their property.
5. The City Council also desires to allow staff to issue citations without offering a five-
business day warning period as generally required by PAMC section 1.12.030(c).
6. The City Council also desires to conform the code to current City practices by
deleting a requirement for commercial leaf blower operators to be certificated by the Chief of
Police.
SECTION 2. Section 9.10.060(f) of the Palo Alto Municipal Code is hereby amended as
follows (new text underlined, deleted text in strikethrough):
(f) Leaf Blowers.
(1) No person shall operate any leaf blower which does not bear an affixed manufacturer's
label indicating the model number of the leaf blower and designating a noise level not in excess
of sixty-five dBA when measured from a distance of fifty feet utilizing American National Standard
Institute methodology. Any leaf blower which bears such a manufacturer's label shall be
presumed to comply with any noise level limit of this chapter provided that it is operated with all
mufflers and full extension tubes supplied by the manufacturer for that leaf blower. No person
shall operate any leaf blower without attachment of all mufflers and full extension tubes supplied
by the manufacturer for that leaf blower.
(2) No person shall operate; cause operation of; or allow operation of a leaf blower on property
a person owns, has control of, or is a tenant of; (including but not limited to a leaf blower

(D) Within any residential zone, at any time, No person shall operate, aany leaf blower

operators of leaf blowers are prohibited from operating any leaf blower within the city if they do
not prominently display a certificate approved by the Chief of Police verifying that the operator
has been trained to operate leaf blowers according to standards adopted by the Chief of Police.
(3) In addition to all authorizations and restrictions otherwise provided in this chapter, public
streets, sidewalks, and parking lots in business districts and at the Municipal Golf Course and all
city parks may be cleaned between 4:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. using leaf blowers which bear an
affixed manufacturer's label indicating the model number of the leaf blower and designating a
noise level not in excess of sixty-five dBA when measured from a distance of fifty feet utilizing
American National Standard Institute methodology.
(4) Enforcement of this subsection (f) is exempt from PAMC section 1.12.030(c).
SECTION 3. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Ordinance is
for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of any court of competent
jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance.
The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this Ordinance and each and every
section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase not declared invalid or unconstitutional without
regard to whether any portion of the Ordinance would be subsequently declared invalid or
unconstitutional.
SECTION 4. The Council finds that adoption of this Ordinance is not a “project” within
the meaning of CEQA.

TITLE
Approval of a Purchase Order with Aviat Networks in the Amount of $438,907 for Radio
Communication Systems for the New Public Safety Building Capital Project (PE-15001),
including $399,007 for Basic Services and $39,900 for Additional Services; CEQA: Environmental
Impact Report for the PSB and New California Avenue Area Parking Garage (Resolution No.
9772)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council approve and authorize the City Manager or their designee to
execute the attached purchase order with Aviat Networks (Attachment A) for radio
communication systems for the New Public Safety Building Capital project (PE-15001) in an
amount not to exceed $438,907, including $399,007 for basic services and $39,900 for
additional services.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Palo Alto participates in a regional public safety radio system that operates as a
large “ring” of microwave communications links between key emergency and essential service
nodes such as police stations, Sheriff’s offices, city halls, hospitals, fire stations, and other sites.
In addition to the ring that provides redundancy, some locations are spurs with only one
connection. Approval of the recommended purchase order will allow the new Public Safety
Building (PSB) to become a node on the ring, like the Palo Alto Civic Center is currently, as
included in the PSB’s design and project budget. The PSB will also become a spur when the
node is completed, enhancing resiliency. Attachment B shows the current and proposed
topology of the ring.
The microwave ring is also critical to the Tri-Cities Consortium of Palo Alto, Mountain View, and
Los Altos to increase redundancy and cooperation between the emergency dispatch operations
of the three cities.
BACKGROUND
In 2010, Council approved an agreement to form the Silicon Valley Regional Interoperability
Authority (SVRIA), a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) in partnership with other Santa Clara County
municipalities and agencies to enhance and coordinate regional public safety data and radio

communications systems. SVRIA services the Santa Clara Operation Area, which includes the
County of Santa Clara, its fifteen cities and towns, and all special districts. Council approved a
subsequent Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on June 22, 2015 to participate in a multi-
year project with other SVRIA members to fund and construct the Silicon Valley Radio
Communications (SVRCS) System.1
The SVRCS is a NAPCO Project 25 (P25) compliant trunked digital communications system using
the 700 MHz frequency spectrum currently in use in Santa Clara County. Radio sites and
dispatch centers are connected through the SVRIA E-COMM digital microwave system
(ECOMM) that provides connectivity to remote government radio sites. ECOMM is a dedicated
microwave network connecting all Public Safety Answering Points (9-1-1 centers), selected key
public safety facilities, and numerous radio sites throughout Santa Clara County. ECOMM
provides secure data and voice communications to public safety agencies and other
cooperating agencies for mission critical applications.
The City Managers of Palo Alto, Mountain View, and Los Altos (Tri-Cities Consortium) agreed to
a broad initiative of sharing public safety technology as a method to conserve resources,
improve response times, increase the resiliency and redundancy of these critical systems, as
well as to enhance interoperable communications between the three cities’ first responders.
This initiative was part of a Council Study Session on May 2, 20112 that presented the "virtual
consolidation" concept and the framework to share public safety technology and
communication systems.
ANALYSIS
In March 2019, Aviat Networks (Aviat) conducted a Microwave Path Survey Report to verify
site locations and to determine antenna sizes and centerlines to establish a microwave
communications system for the Public Safety Building (PSB), to make the PSB a new site on the
SVRIA ECOMM system. Aviat is the exclusive maintenance contractor for the ECOMM system as
authorized by SVRIA3.
The microwave path survey included the following services:
•Identifying geographical location of sites and antenna, waveguide length, and tower
requirements.
•Verifying path clearance objectives for each of the paths from existing or new tower
locations.

•Documenting obstruction, critical points, and reflection points in each of the paths.
•Verifying tower coordinates and site elevations.
•Establishing coordinates and height requirements for new towers, as needed for
governmental agency registration and licenses filed by SVRIA.
•Confirming antenna centerlines and waveguide length requirements.
•Cataloging antennas on the existing structures noting any space limitations in the survey
report.
Adding the PSB as an independent site on the ECOMM ring enables the PSB to maintain access
to the ECOMM network in the event a large-scale critical event disrupts connectivity to the Palo
Alto Civic Center. Ringed networks can be built up to provide scalability and redundancy in the
network. The radio sites are independent from each other. As a result, a fault or failure at one
site will not affect another site.
When reviewing interoperability in terms of voice radio system issues, the interoperability of
data is of equal importance. Public safety agencies have become more reliant on various
systems that capture and store information. Systems such as Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD),
Records Management Systems (RMS), and intelligence databases all contain information that is
of value to multiple agencies.
The Tri-Cities Consortium developed the virtually consolidated public safety network using the
ECOMM digital microwave system as the primary connection between the cities. Due to the
critical applications being accessed over the ECOMM network, it was determined to have the
new PSB connected to the ECOMM network as an independent site as part of the SVRCS
network.
Aviat is part of the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint
cooperative purchasing program which facilitates public procurement solicitations and
agreements. Cooperative purchasing programs allow government organizations to use a single
solicitation with the best value and favorable terms and conditions. Per Palo Alto Municipal
code 2.30.360(j), the City is able to take advantage of the Aviat contract since it was
competitively solicited and publicly awarded through NASPO ValuePoint.
Project Timeline
While the project is progressing well toward completion, it should be noted that construction
contract substantial completion dates often change during construction as change orders can
authorize additional time for various issues that affect the critical path. Staff and the
construction manager believe that the PSB is on track for substantial completion in October.
Following substantial completion, the “move-in” phase of the project will continue for several
months for the installation and testing of several highly-technical and critical Public Safety, IT,
Security, and Communications systems that will be housed at the new PSB. Activities that will
be performed during the move-in phase, include:

•Completion of punchlist items – minor issues identified during inspections to be
corrected prior to final completion of the construction contract, but that do not
necessarily impact substantial completion
•Furniture Delivery and Installation
•Installation, Testing and Commissioning of City / Police IT systems
•Commissioning of 9-1-1 telephone and dispatch systems
•Commissioning of Radio Systems and Equipment
•Phased relocation of Dispatch Operations
•Integration of the new facility with neighboring agencies, including Silicon Valley
Regional Interoperability Authority (SVRIA)
•Phased re-location of Police, Fire Department Administration and Office of Emergency
Services staff from the existing facility to the new PSB site
Some move-in items will occur during construction. The move-in phase is expected to continue
for 3-4 months after substantial construction completion, with the new facility projected to
become fully-operational in early 2024.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
Adding the PSB in the ECOMM loop between the Palo Alto Civic Center to Mountain View will
cost $399,007 including a one-time management discount and freight charges. A contingency
amount of $39,900 will be included in the contract for unforeseen conditions during
installation, for a total contract amount of $438,907. Funding for this purchase order is
available in the Fiscal Year 2023 budget for the New Public Safety Building Capital Project (PE-
15001) and is included in the overall PSB budget approved by Council when the construction
contract was approved in early 2021.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
City staff coordinated with the Tri-Cities Consortium and SVRIA in development of the network
changes and specifications.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
An Environmental Impact Report for the PSB and the New California Avenue Area Parking
Garage was prepared and was certified by Council on June 11, 2018, by adoption of Resolution

TITLE
Authorization to Execute Amendment to Legal Services Contract S22184420 with Rankin Stock
Heaberlin Oneal to Increase Amount by $150,000 for Total Not-to-Exceed Amount of $225,000
and to Extend the Term to January 2025; CEQA Status – Not a Project
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Attorney or designee to amend the agreement for litigation defense services
with the law firm of Rankin Stock Heaberlin Oneal (Contract S22184420) to increase the
contract amount by $150,000 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $225,000 and to extend the
term to January 2025.
BACKGROUND
Rankin Stock Heaberlin Oneal is a law firm representing cities in a variety of areas, including
police civil rights claims and personal injury litigation.
In January 2022, the City entered into a two-year agreement (S22184420) in the amount of
$50,000 with Rankin Stock Heaberlin Oneal for continuing litigation defense services in civil suit
Scrivner v. City of Palo Alto, et al., Santa Clara Co. Sup. Ct. Case No. 18-CV-333834. In December
2022, staff amended the contract to increase the not to exceed amount to $75,000. Staff now
seeks authority to increase the contract amount by $150,000 which will bring the new not to
exceed amount to $225,000, and to extend the term to January 2025. Litigation defense is
continuing in this matter.
Prior to agreement S22184420, the City entered into agreement S19175172 with Rankin Stock
Heaberlin Oneal for initial Government Claim and litigation defense services in this matter. The
city expended $80,000 under the prior contract.

FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
Funding for this amendment does not require additional budgetary authority as it can be
accommodated within existing budgets.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (See CEQA Guidelines 15378(b)(5),
administrative activities that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the
environment).

Report #:2306-1612
TITLE
Approval of Contract with VOX Network Solutions (C23187554) to Procure Services to Upgrade
the City’s Phone System and a Three-Year Support Term for a Total Amount Not-To-Exceed
$504,107; CEQA Status—not a project
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council approve and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute
the following:
1. Execute Contract C23187554 with VOX Network Solutions to upgrade the City’s current
phone system in the amount of $458,279 utilizing a National Cooperative Purchasing
Alliance (NCPA) cooperative agreement, (Attachment A).
2. Authorize a 10% contingency in the amount of $45,828 for the purchase of additional
licensing and support for any unforeseen licensing needs.
BACKGROUND
The City executed a contract with VOX to replace the previous phone system which had been in
place for over two decades through an RFP that had been issued in 2012. This contract was
previously approved by Council in June 20121. The new phone system was fully implemented in
October 2013. A maintenance contract was issued in October 2017 for three years (through
October 2020) and then again in October 2020, a 3-year maintenance contract was issued to
VOX for maintenance and support through October 2023.
Annual maintenance for VOX is approximately $68,000. With this upgrade, we can expect to see
about an $20,000 increase annually for maintenance and support.

ANALYSIS
The City of Palo Alto has an existing Avaya phone system and voicemail platform that is
deployed in all city facilities with physical desk phones. The system has reached a critical
milestone in the manufacturer’s lifecycle which does not allow license expansion or additions.
Additionally, some of the hardware has reached its end of life and requires replacement for the
upgrade to the latest release. To mitigate risk and scale for growth, the city will be upgrading
the phone system to the latest release of software, that offers a more secure communications
platform and can provide additional functionality as well as being fully supported and
expandable. Any legacy hardware will be migrated to newer, supported hardware. VOX will
reuse licensing and existing hardware where possible. City staff will assist with firmware
upgrades on hardware for cost savings to the city. Upgrading to the current version of the
phone system software will provide significant benefits in terms of functionality, security,
compatibility, reliability, cost savings, regulatory compliance, and support. City Staff did
investigate cloud-based phone system options, however with city’s specific needs with police,
fire, library, community services and other departments staff recommend staying on on-
premise phone system for security, cost and compliance reasons.
Following are some high-level Enterprise Phone System integrations/requirements that are
specific to support City business need and not supported by basic cloud phone systems used by
individuals and small businesses:
1. Integration with Public Safety 911 dispatch system.
2. Call Center real time reporting and historical reporting for Utilities and Planning and
Development services.
3. Interactive Voice Response System integration to handle credit card payments by
phone for utilities customers.
4. Integration with Citywide Outage Management System for Office of Emergency and
Utilities.
5. Integration with the City’s Call Accounting system to provide audit reports on all
calls.
6. Local desk phone and soft phones on laptops to support remote staff with hybrid
workforce.
7. Support for over 100 different auto attendants used by various departments with
announcements and transferring requirements.
Below are the benefits of this proposed hardware and software upgrade:
1. Improved functionality: Upgrading to the current version of the software will provide
access to new features and functionalities that were limited or not available in previous
versions. These new features like number of users supported, conference bridge, call
recording and reporting, skills-based phone routing, call center redundancy, paging,
music on hold, reception console, etc. can improve the efficiency and productivity of the
phone system.

Item 18 Staff Report
Item 18: Staff Report Pg. 2 Packet Pg. 226 of 911
2. Enhanced security: The current version of the software will have the latest security
updates and patches, ensuring that the system is protected from new security threats
and vulnerabilities.
3. Better compatibility: As new hardware and software applications are implemented for
city departments; the current version of phone system software will be compatible with
them. This can help to avoid issues with system performance and data compatibility. For
example, the Outage Management System and 911 Dispatch System.
4. Improved reliability: With each new release, the vendor typically includes bug fixes and
stability improvements that can help reduce downtime and system failures.
5. Cost savings: Upgrading to the current version of your software will help avoid costly
maintenance and support fees for outdated versions of the software. For some of the
equipment, no support at all. To switch to a brand-new phone system Cloud or On-
Premise is estimated at twice the cost of the upgrade due to the existing investment in
hardware and phone devices already in place.
6. Regulatory compliance: Upgrading the software to the current version will help to
ensure that the city is meeting required compliance with specific laws and regulations.
For example to meet the Ray Baum's Act that states that when a 911 call is placed, the
call includes dispatchable location information and Kari's Law that requires that 911 are
the only digits needed to contact public safety. To call 911, you must not have a dialing
prefix, such as 9, and the call must go directly to the PSAP.
7.Support: The vendor's support team typically provides assistance and troubleshooting
only for the current version of the software. Upgrading to the current version will make
it easier to receive support and resolve issues in timely manner for city staff.

Calero – eCAS Call Accounting
The customer has an existing eCAS Call Accounting system by Calero. Vox has provided a quote for the Calero to upgrade the existing
platform remotely and also to add a block of (250) station monitoring licenses to the existing system.
Newer software may require a new server or expansion of virtual resources. The customer will be responsible to reconfigure their
virtual environment to match any revised resource requirements.
Telstrat Call Recording (Police only)
The Telstrat system upgrade at the Police Department location is included with this project. The Utility /SCADA system is being provided under
an optional quote as a separate project. The current Police Department system is running in an end of life state. The current platform is
running Windows Server 2008 which no longer supported by the platform or Microsoft. VOX will coordinate the migration of the new call
recording server. The customer will need to build a new Virtual environment running Windows Server 2016 64 bit. This quote includes the
necessary professional services required by Seranova to complete the remote installation of Engage 5.7.x on a new customer provided VM.
This quote also includes the migration of data to the new server, and Administrative training on the new version of software.

TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS SUMMARY
3rd Party Applications not being upgraded:
In the event that applications fail to connect after the upgrade, VOX will provide basic troubleshooting activities to attempt to restore
connectivity. In the event the basic troubleshooting becomes extended or requires additional work with the 3rd party manufacturer, and the
issue is related to an upgrade or configuration change of that 3rd party’s system, a change order may be required to provide extended
support. VOX recommends that the customer have the 3rd Party vendors on stand-by in case their support is required.
Ribbon
The customer has an existing Ribbon1000 SBC providing SIP trunk connectivity. The SBC will be reconnected after the upgrade, but
the customer is responsible for any support required by Ribbon after the upgrade should any configuration changes be required. VOX
is not providing any upgrade related services for this application; however, we will test the SBC connectivity and work with Ribbon or
the customer to restore a service outage.
Vocantas IVR
The customer has a 12 port, SIP connected Vocantas IVR that is installed and connected via the Avaya SBC. The SBC will be
reconnected after the upgrade and option 1 to an outbound number will be tested as it is critical to the services team. The customer
is responsible for any support required by Vocantas after the upgrade should any configuration changes be required. VOX is not
providing any upgrade related services for this application however; we will test the IVR’s connectivity and work with Vocantas or the
customer to restore a service outage.
Motorola Vesta NG911 PSAP
The customer has a Vesta NG911 PSAP connected via Adtran Gateways to analog ports back to Avaya CM. There are some loop
current lockups occurring on loop start lines prompting the customer to manually reset them. This may be a loop start supervision
issue based on how some calls get routed between two analog Loop Start lines. VOX will verify that the analog calls are routing
however the loop locks may require a service ticket for assistance due to the pre-existing condition associated with them.

Lead Department: City Manager
Meeting Date: June 19, 2023
Report #:2306-1635
TITLE
Approval and authorization to execute contract Amendment No. 2 with the OIR Group for an
additional two-year period and an additional $105,000 for a new not-to-exceed amount of
$212,500 for independent police auditing services with a new expiration date of January 1,
2025.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute
contract Amendment No. 2 with the OIR Group for an additional two-year period and an
additional $105,000 for a new not-to-exceed amount of $212,500 for independent police
auditing services with a new expiration date of January 1, 2025 (Attachment A).
BACKGROUND
Since approximately 2006, Palo Alto has contracted with an outside firm to act as Independent
Police Auditor (IPA). The IPA performs several functions for Palo Alto. First, the IPA provides
independent review of PAPD internal affairs investigations. Department management confers
with IPA periodically as investigations are opened and in process. When the Department’s
investigation is complete, the IPA conducts a secondary review and assesses “thoroughness,
objectivity and appropriateness” of the investigation and disposition. Where appropriate, the
IPA provides recommendations for training, procedural adjustments or other follow-up actions.
In 2014, the City issued a Request for Proposals for independent police auditor services. Three
firms submitted proposals. The City selected the Michael Gennaco dba Office of Independent
Review (OIR Group) as the most qualified to perform the services. The contract between the
City and the OIR Group expired in October 2019 and was bid again at that time and OIR Group
was awarded the contract again. The 2019 contract1 was amended in July 2021 as a culmination
of expanded contract scope for the IPA that stemmed from the City’s race and equity efforts
over the previous year. Link to the updated scope Amendment No. 1:

contract-s20178065-amendment-one.pdf).
Amendment No. 1 also intended to add travel to the contract amount, though that was
inadvertently left out of the not-to-exceed total.
ANALYSIS
This Amendment No. 2 corrects the not-to-exceed amount to account for travel for the two
planned visits annually with OIR at City Council. It also extends the contract for two additional
years with the correct base contract amount given the updated scope. Lastly, it adds an
additional $10,000 for additional services if needed by the City during the contract period.
The outline below identifies the historic and expected annual expenditures by type and amount
under the Agreement, including Amendments No. 1 and 2. All dates refer to calendar years:

(PAUSD) for PAUSD Athletic Field Brokering and Maintenance Cost-sharing to Extend the Term to
June 30, 2024, with an Optional Extension for an Additional Six Months; CEQA status –
categorically exempt (Regulation 15301).
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute
Amendment No. 3 (Attachment A) to the Agreement1 Between the City of Palo Alto and the Palo
Alto Unified School District of Santa Clara County Concerning the Public Use, Brokering and
Maintenance of District-Owned Athletic Fields, Tennis Courts, and Basketball Courts Jointly Used
By School Students and the General Public (Agreement) to extend the term to cover the period
July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2024, with an optional extension of an additional six months.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City and PAUSD have partnered since 1995 for the maintenance of select school athletic fields
for joint school and community use of the fields through a cost sharing agreement. The initial
agreement has been modified and renewed multiple times with revisions to capital
improvements, revenue sharing of field brokering fees, and priority use dates and times. The
partnership provides field maintenance and facilitates field use during school and athletic activity
hours and community use during late afternoon, evenings, and weekends.
City and PAUSD staff have met several times over the past year to discuss extending the terms
and prioritization of tennis court hours. Both parties have come to an agreement on Amendment
No. 3 to extend the partnership through June 30, 2024, with an optional six-month extension

Item 20: Staff Report Pg. 1 Packet Pg. 276 of 911
BACKGROUND
Beginning in 1993, the City and PAUSD staff met to discuss a possible partnership for the
maintenance and public use of PAUSD athletic fields. In 1995, the City and PAUSD entered into
an Agreement for the City to maintain select PAUSD athletic fields for both school and community
use with both parties contributing an equal share of the costs. The Agreement also included an
equal cost share for capital improvements to athletic fields. The agreement has since been
revised several times and no longer includes a cost share for capital improvements. The cost of
capital improvements is now fully incurred by PAUSD.
The Agreement encompasses the maintenance and brokering of the athletic fields at 13
elementary schools and three middle schools, and tennis courts at five PAUSD schools. The City
manages the brokering of PAUSD athletic fields and tennis courts for public community use
outside of school activity hours. Revenue received from renting PAUSD athletic fields and courts
is shared between both parties with the City retaining 60% and PAUSD retaining 40% of revenue.
The Agreement provides for the continued maintenance of school district fields at all PAUSD
elementary schools, as well as the fields at Jane Lathrop Stanford (JLS) and Frank S. Greene, Jr.
(Greene) Middle Schools. The maintenance of turf areas includes mowing, edging, de-thatching,
reseeding, aeration, and maintenance of irrigation heads, valves, and controllers. The fields at
Ellen Fletcher (Fletcher) Middle School are not part of this agreement as these fields are
dedicated parkland (Terman Park) and are maintained in a manner consistent with City Park
maintenance standards.
The Agreement also provides for the maintenance of tennis courts and basketball courts at JLS,
Greene, and Fletcher Middle Schools, and at Henry M. Gunn and Palo Alto High Schools. This
work includes periodic sweeping of the court surfaces and washing during the summer months.
The City brokers the fields, tennis courts, and basketball courts in accordance with the Council-
approved Field Use Policy2. This policy is intended to ensure residents, both youth and adults,
have fair access to PAUSD and City-owned fields and athletic facilities. The criteria incorporated
into the Field Use Policy helps ensure Palo Alto youth and non-profit sports clubs have top priority
access to field space for practice and competition.
The City places a high priority on the maintenance and safety of school playing fields to ensure
the community has access to athletic fields and courts for physical fitness and recreation. This
Agreement will continue the City’s commitment to provide quality turf and court surfaces.

ANALYSIS
In the fall of 2019, City and PAUSD staff met to discuss renewing the Agreement (Amendment
No. 13). City and PAUSD staff agreed to extend the Agreement through December 31, 2021, with
an option for a two-year extension. On December 9, 2019, City Council approved an extension of
the Agreement (Amendment No. 2). City staff later learned that PAUSD staff did not bring
Amendment No. 2 to the PAUSD Board for approval. While this matter was being resolved, both
the City and PAUSD honored the terms of the Agreement and Amendment No. 2.
PAUSD staff later agreed to update Amendment No. 2 to extend the term to cover the period July
1, 2019 through June 30, 2022, with an optional 24-month extension, and brought Amendment
No. 2 to the PAUSD Board for their approval on February 8, 2022. City Council approved the
updated Amendment No. 24 on February 14, 2022.
City and PAUSD staff met multiple times from March 2022 to May 2023 to discuss extending the
Agreement. Though the Agreement expired on June 30, 2022, both the City and PAUSD honored
the terms of the Agreement while negotiations continued. In May 2023, City and PAUSD staff
came to mutually agreeable terms for an Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement. Amendment No.
3 retains the same scope of work and service level performed by City staff. The maintenance
costs are shared equally between the City and PAUSD. The revenue share remains at 60% to City
and 40% to PAUSD.
Amendment No. 3 extends designated hours and dates for PAUSD to have priority use of four of
the seven tennis courts at Palo Alto High School. PAUSD priority use of courts number 1, 2, 3, and
4 extends from 4:00pm to 7:00pm weekdays during the following date periods. The select four
courts are identified on the map attached to the Amendment:
•June 5, 2023 – August 4, 2023
•November 20, 2023 – November 24, 2023
•December 25, 2023 – January 5, 2024
•June 3, 2024 – June 28, 2024
The period covered by Amendment No. 3 is July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2024, with an optional
six-month extension. PAUSD staff intends to bring Amendment No. 3 to the PAUSD Board for
approval on June 6, 2023. If City Council approves Amendment No. 3 of the Agreement, staff will

collaborate with PAUSD and return to City Council in 2024 with a recommendation to extend the
Agreement with an amendment or approve a new Agreement.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
Amendment No. 3 extends the terms of the existing agreement for two years (July 1, 2022 to
June 30, 2024). The annual maintenance cost is approximately $1.0 million, and the costs are split
equally between the City and PAUSD. The revenue remains shared at 60% to the City and 40% to
PAUSD. The total shared revenue varies and has been approximately $45,000 annually.
The amendment maintains the level and scope of services and cost share of actual expenses as
established in the original contract. The only financial impacts to the City from this action are the
result of updated labor costs for continuing these services, which are included in the FY 2024
Operating Budget of the Community Services Department. Funding for subsequent years of the
agreement is subject to City Council approval and appropriation of funds through the annual
budget process.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
City and PAUSD staff met multiple times to discuss Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement and have
a mutual interest in continuing this partnership. If Council approves Amendment No. 3, staff will
communicate with the tennis community the reduced access to certain courts at Palo Alto High
School.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This amendment is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to section 15301 (existing facilities) of the CEQA guidelines.

Report #:2305-1581
TITLE
Approval of the 2023-2024 Human Relations Commission Work Plan; CEQA Status – Not a
Project
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council review and approve the 2023-2024 Human Relations Commission
Work Plan.
BACKGROUND
On November 30, 2020, the City Council adopted the Boards, Commissions and Committees
(BCC) Handbook, which implemented an annual review and approval of BCC work plans.
Each BCC is required to prepare an annual work plan for review and approval by the Council by
second quarter of the calendar year. The annual report should include the results of the prior
year’s plan and should consist of up to three priorities. When applicable, the City Council would
like to see metrics of community involvement and participation in meetings and activities
included in the work plan.
Council may refer additional items to the BCCs in response to new developments. BCCs should
work on the items outlined in the approved workplans over the course of the year and should
refrain from expending their time and staff resources on items that have not been approved by
the City Council.
In the event a BCC would like to add an item to the workplan for review after an annual
workplan has been approved by the City Council, a prompt request by the BCC Chair to the City
Council is required and the item will then be addressed by the City Council as a whole.
At the June 12, 2023 meeting, Council will review the workplans for Architectural Review Board,
Historic Resources Board, Parks and Recreation Commission, Planning and Transportation
Commission, Public Art Commission, Stormwater Management Oversight Committee, and
Utilities Advisory Commission. At this meeting, Council will review the workplan for the Human
Relations Commission.

TITLE
Approval of Office of City Auditor Remote and Flexible Work Study Report; CEQA Status – Not a
Project
RECOMMENDATION
The Policy and Services Committee, City Auditor, and Staff recommend that the City Council
approve the Remote and Flexible Work Study Report.
BACKGROUND
Baker Tilly, in its capacity serving as the Office of the City Auditor (OCA), performed a citywide
risk assessment that assessed a wide range of risk areas, including strategic, financial,
operational, compliance, technological, and reputation risks. The purpose of the assessment was
to identify and prioritize risks to develop the annual audit plan.
During the FY2022 risk assessment (ID#13914)1, the OCA identified recruitment and retention
challenges and need for a study of remote positions which affect recruitment and retention as
many people prefer remote positions.
Baker Tilly presented the attached report during the Policy & Service Committee meeting on
April 26, 2023, where the report was approved as follows:
MOTION: Council Member Veenker moved, seconded by Chair Tanaka to recommend the
City Council:
A. Accept the Office of the City Auditor Remote and Flexible Work Study Audit Report, and;
B. Request that the City Manager’s Office include in the staff report to Council an analysis of
pre-Covid full onsite performance evaluations compared to current Hybrid/Remote work.

The Committee asked the City Attorney to provide follow-up information regarding the operation
of State worker’s compensation law in the remote work context. The City Attorney’s response
can be found at Attachment B.
DISCUSSION
The objectives of the review were to:
1) Evaluate the alignment of remote and flexible work policy and procedure to best
practices.
2) Identify position eligibility criteria for remote and flexible work schedules.
Through conversations with the Human Resources management staff, analysis of current
applicable remote work policies, and market research, Baker Tilly created a framework for the
implementation of a remote and flexible work study program. This framework includes the use
of a criteria tool and two potential options for the implementation of the framework. The tool
can be used to objectively evaluate City positions for remote and flexible work eligibility.
The report provides market trend research to inform future implementation for this
recommended framework and optional surveys to distribute to City employees for assistance in
the determination of remote and flexible work eligibility.
The Policy & Services Committee motion included request for staff to provide a comparison of
pre-Covid full onsite performance evaluations compared to current Hybrid/Remote Work.
HR staff reported that currently this data is collected in an electronic format only for
Management and Professional employees. The following information compares pre-Covid full
onsite performance rating results in comparison to most current performance ratings since
eligible employees have been working a Hybrid/Remote work schedule. The performance
ratings for pre-Covid FY19, in comparison to FY22 did not indicate performance rating decline
or productivity decrease. In FY19 there were 177 managers and professionals who were
evaluated: 117 exceeded expectations; 53 met expectations and 7 needed improvement. In FY
22, there were 176 managers and professionals who were evaluated: 118 exceed expectations;
57 met expectations and only 1 employee in this group was rated as needing improvement.
Overall, there were similar results in the performance ratings pre-Covid in FY19 in comparison
to FY22 and improved ratings for employees who had been rated as “needing improvement” in
FY19. As stated to the Policy & Services Committee, since there are between 80% - 90% of
employees working on-site between Monday through Friday, it appears there is no impact to
performance and productivity by allowing employees the option to work a hybrid schedule.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
The corrective action plans and the timeline for implementation are identified within the
attached report.

Purpose of the Audit
The purpose of this audit was to:
1) Evaluate the alignment of remote and flexible work policy and procedure to best practices
2) Identify position eligibility criteria for remote and flexible work schedules
Report Highlights
Category/Theme Page # Recommendation
Remote Work Policy Pg. 6
The City should revise the current policy to strengthen its teleworking risk
mitigation and further clarify the remote work arrangement between its
employees and departments. The City should also implement a periodic review
of its telework policy in annual intervals to ensure content is current and still
meeting department needs.
Remote Work
Procedures Pg. 7
The City should revise the current agreement form to include a more robust list
of employee obligations to improve the clarity of responsibilities for remote
workers and their departments. The City should also ensure that the agreement
form reflects the content of the current teleworking policy.
Position Eligibility Pg. 7
We recommend the development of a standardized criteria for position remote
and flex work eligibility. All positions should be evaluated for full remote, partial
remote/flex schedule, and ineligible remote work. Once position eligibility is
determined, the City should follow existing policy to review individual employee
eligibility for all eligible positions.

Introduction
1 Government auditing standards require an external peer review at least once every three (3) years. The last peer review of the Palo
Alto Office of the City Auditor was conducted in 2017. The Palo Alto City Council approved a contract from October 2020 through
Objective
The purpose of this audit was to:
1) Evaluate the alignment of remote and flexible work policy and procedure to best
practices.
2) Identify position eligibility criteria for remote and flexible work schedules.
Background
The City of Palo Alto’s Human Resources Department states they "strive to recruit, develop,
and retain a diverse, well-qualified and professional workforce that reflects the high
standards of the community we serve. The department’s key responsibilities are:
Employment Recruitment & Selection, Employee Benefit Administration, Employee Training
& Development, Employee and Labor Relations, Compensation & Classification
Administration, Risk Management, Safety and Workers Compensation and
Volunteer Administration.
As part of the FY2022-2023 Audit Plan approved by the City Council, a Remote and Flexible
Work Study audit was authorized. Through conversations with the Human Resources
management staff, analysis of current applicable remote work policies, and market research,
Baker Tilly created a framework for the implementation of a remote and Flexible Work Study
Program. This framework includes the use of a criteria tool and two potential options for the
implementation of the framework. The tool can be used to objectively evaluate City positions
for remote and flexible work eligibility.
The report provides market trend research to inform future implementation for this
recommended framework and optional surveys to distribute to City employees for assistance
in the determination of remote and flexible work eligibility.
More details on this framework are included in the Methodology and Detailed Testing
Results section.
Scope The scope of this engagement includes remote work policies, procedures, and eligibility
effective as of June, 2021.
Methodology
The Baker Tilly team conducted the following audit activities to meet the engagement
objectives:
Interviewed Human Resources staff to understand the current state, benefits, and
barriers of remote work,
Reviewed relevant policies and procedures,
Identified industry-relevant criteria to be used for evaluation,
Researched best practices, as well as remote work trends and challenges.
Compliance
Statement
This audit activity was conducted from May 2022 to July 2022 in accordance with generally
accepted government auditing standards, except for the requirement of an external peer
review1. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain sufficient,
appropriate evidence to provide a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based
on our audit objectives. We believe that the evidence obtained provides a reasonable basis
for our findings and conclusions based on our audit objectives.

Testing Results
During our assessment, we identified three key documents of improvement for Palo Alto to implement related to remote
work practices. The areas assessed, results of each assessment, and our recommendations for improvement are shown

The City last updated the Remote Work
policy in June of 2021 in consultation with
City management, modifying the original
to accommodate telework modification
required as a result of the COVID-19
pandemic. The City's Remote Work
Policy is missing components that will
strengthen and clarify the remote work
arrangement between employees, their
departments, and the City. Some
components were recommended by
Human Resources during the most recent
revisions, but discussions with City
management resulted in their omission
from the final policy. The current policy
leaves the City susceptible to holding
employees accountable for attendance
and performance issues, City property
inventory discrepancies, and dependent
care responsibilities.
The City should revise the current
policy to strengthen its teleworking
risk mitigation and further clarify the
remote work arrangement between
its employees and departments. The
City should also implement a periodic
review of its telework policy in annual
intervals to ensure content is current
with best practices and meets
department needs.

(FY23)

The City's Hybrid Work Agreement Form
omits obligations of a remote worker that,
if present, would better define employee
responsibilities and commitments. As is,
the form leaves the City susceptible to
employee attendance and performance
issues, unclear accountability standards
with regard to City property and policy,
and an inability to modify the remote work
agreement as needed. The City last
updated the teleworking agreement form
June 2021, modifying the original to
accommodate remote work modification
required as a result of the COVID-19
pandemic. However, the revised form
does not comprehensively reflect
components of the City’s teleworking
policy. The Society for Human Resources
Management, with a thorough sample
agreement form for teleworking, frames
content that addresses these common
remote work risks.
The City should revise the current
agreement form to include a more
robust list of employee obligations to
improve the clarity of responsibilities
for remote workers and their
departments. The City should also
ensure that the agreement form
reflects the content of the current
teleworking policy.
A sample revision of the form is
provided in Appendix B.

The City does not have a standardized
approach to determine position eligibility
for remote or flex work schedules.
Department directors approve eligibility
on a case-by-case basis as employees
request it, with a strong consideration of
department norms and supervisor
preferences. This creates inconsistent
eligibility across departments for positions
with similar essential duties. Department
requirement of in-person work when
essential job duties do not require the
position to be on-site or in the office
damages the City’s ability to retain
employees and attract new talent.
The City should development
standardized criteria for position
remote and flex work eligibility. All
positions should be evaluated for full
remote, partial remote/flex schedule,
and ineligible remote work. Once
position eligibility is determined, The
City should follow existing policy to
review individual employee eligibility
for all eligible positions.

5 The Future of Remote Work in the Public Sector - Government Technology Insider
Remote Work Best Practices and Research
Governments and public sector organizations have continued to leverage remote work as a necessary alternative to
traditional in-person work. Forecast trends predict public sector reliance on remote work will continue and likely expand.
Standardized implementation of remote work will allow the City of Palo Alto to remain competitive as well as modernize
and expand the quality services its residents expect.
Early Covid-19 Pandemic Workforce Response
Prior to the Covid-19 Pandemic and government issued shutdowns, remote work was uncommon within the public
sector. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics 2019 National Compensation Survey found flexible workplace benefits were
available to 4 percent of state and local government workers and 5 percent of management level positions . An
International Public Management Association for Human Resources (IPMA-HR) survey of local government members
found that 70 percent of public sector organizations did not have established remote work programs in early 2020 when
the Pandemic began.
During Covid, among the 30 percent of public sector organizations surveyed by IPMA-HR which already had remote
work programs, the percentage of remote workers increased to 63 percent after closures began. Among organizations
that did not have established programs, survey participants reported an average of 1 percent of their workforce worked
remotely before the Pandemic. Their share of remote workers grew to 41 percent by April 2020, representing an
increase of 4,000 percent and indicating industry-wide adoption of remote work flexibility.2
Sustaining Remote Workforce Responses
IPMA-HR reports 69 percent of the respondents at public sector organizations that already had established remote
work policies prior to February 2020 reported plans to continue allowing more remote work after reopening their offices.
Maintained remote work programs were lower, at 45 percent, among survey respondents whose organizations lacked
remote work programs prior to the Covid-19 Pandemic.3
Currently, local government policies and approaches address primarily four areas:
1) Employee eligibility for remote work,
2) Necessary forms and policy development,
3) Accessing communication channels, and
4) IT practices, procedures, and security.4
Government Technology Insider notes that investments made to enhance and maintain network architecture are
needed for continued support of remote work. Services, such as streamlined support tickets and an IT service desk, are
important to support remote end-users. Additionally, agencies should establish a business continuity plan (BCP) to train
workers on secure network practices while remotely working.5
The reported ability to work remote varies widely depending on the industry. Government, public administration, and
military organizations fall in the middle of this list with 46 percent of workers reporting most daily job functions can be
performed remotely.
According to the FlexJobs online trends database, The State of California has the most remote job listings of any state.
In terms of remote worker populations, The City of Palo Alto is among the top five cities in the State, with 9.3% of their

total working population remote. Neighboring cities Mountain View, Sunnyvale, and Redwood, also make this list of the
top 50 California cities for remote work with 6.2 percent, 5.3 percent, and 4.6 percent, remote populations,
respectively.6
Future Workforce Challenges
As the public sector rebounds from the demands incurred from the Covid-19 Pandemic, hiring challenges, vacancies,
and burnout are impeding return to pre-pandemic workforce levels. Approximately 90 percent of jobs lost in the private
sector have returned as of April 2022, while only 53 percent of jobs lost have returned for the public sector. Pandemic
job loss and pre-pandemic hiring challenges have made quality talent recruiting and succession planning the highest
priority staffing challenges government organizations face.7 Burnout and stress have caused 44 percent of public sector
employees to experience decline in mental-emotional health. In California, other remote work challenges include public
sector work culture, high paper dependencies, and cybersecurity concerns according to the California Transportation
Commission.8
Remote work is likely preceding a future of public service performed by a network of workers across integrated
geographies, making “remoteability” a key metric for a public sector organization’s success. Addressing motivation and
the intrinsic value of public sector work is one strategy to retain devoted public servants. Increasing resources through
benefits and salary to match the increased demands placed on large City and County employees will further encourage
public sector participation.
We anticipate California will continue various resources, programs, and benefits that enable employers and local
governments to support their remote work segments. The California Government’s “telework.govops.ca.gov” is one
resource providing best practices and helpful tips for governments like Palo Alto. We encourage use of these resources
and others to achieve ideal remoteability.9
Position Eligibility Framework
Below is a sample framework to consider implementing for evaluating position eligibility for remote work and modifying
the position eligibility in context of the remote work policy at the City of Palo Alto:
1. Human Resources makes a framework for position eligibility assessment deployment
a. HR evaluates the positions first and solicits director feedback on potential eligible positions
b. HR collaborates with department directors to evaluation eligibility for all positions
2. Human Resources creates a communication plan for the evaluation framework
3. Human Resources selects pilot departments to evaluation position eligibility
4. Human Resources runs the pilot department evaluation
5. Human Resources modifies implementation plan using lessons learned from the pilot
6. Human Resources implements position evaluation with remaining departments
1. Creation of framework
a. Human Resources evaluates the positions first to eliminate positions for department review that are
ineligible to work remotely
The benefits of this method:
Creates a top-down efficient approach using the knowledge and expertise of the Human Resources
staff and reducing the volume of department position review.
The negatives of this method:
Reduced position review transparency for department leadership and employees
b. Department directors review all positions
The benefits of this method:
Illustrates to employees the desire to intimately understand positions when determining eligibility.
Item 22
Attachment A - OCA-
Remote and Flexible
Work Study
Item 22: Staff Report Pg. 12 Packet Pg. 303 of 911
10
Increases the volume of positions for department directors and employees to review.
The negatives of this method:
Increased review and implementation time-frame
2. Creation of a communication plan
Change management plan standards suggest the use of comprehensive and clear communications to all
affected parties. Human Resources will need to identify the target audience for each communication and the
intended purpose/goal of the communication. The City may consider a communication approach as follows:
- Notify all City employees of the position review. In the notification, state the pilot departments, phased
approach for additional department position reviews, roles and responsibility for Human Resources,
department supervisors, and employees.
- Provide regular updates during executive team meetings
- Provide updates to department directors of when phases are complete and next steps
- Provide written communication to all employee participants at each phase. Hold a townhall meeting
introducing the project, communicating the purpose, approach and outcome
- Communicate position eligibility to the executive team and directors when all positions are evaluated
The methods and delivery for the communication plan should also be outlined, considering a formalized
message to staff and informal channels. Human Resources should be prepared for the responses they will
receive to the communication plan – both negative and positive - and appropriate response channels.
Human Resources should be clear and repeatedly communicate throughout the process that the assessment is
to determine position eligibility to equitably apply consideration across the City. Individuals who hold eligible
positions should continue to be assessed for approval and continued eligibility per the City’s policy.
3. Selection of pilot departments
When selecting the two departments for the pilot, consider the following:
- A department that performs administrative functions for the City (e.g. Legal, City Clerk and Information
Technology)
- A department that has positions performing some elements of fieldwork/operations
- Departments that are collaborative in nature and willing to adapt to changes in City policy
- Departments that are well respected within the City as they will serve as advocates for the future rollout of
the Remote and Flexible Work program
- Departments with a high volume of hard-to-fill positions or key positions with a high vacancy rate
Running the pilot
- Human Resources should consider the length of the pilot program, any changing needs of the community
and potential changes in service delivery requiring a stop or pause to the pilot, and any changing needs of
the department that may require a stop or pause.
- Develop a re-start plan to continue the pilot to keep staff engaged and invested in the pilot program.
Feedback from piloted departments should be solicited and factored into future implementation for improved
deployment. The pilot should be self-evaluated by all participants and ‘lessons learned’ documented when
providing feedback to Human Resources. The feedback provided in this phase will inform steps 5 and 6.
4. Pilot department evaluation
Human Resources outlines the approach needed for the evaluation of the pilot department program. Steps may
include:
- Department director meeting:
o Kick-off
o Project timeline/purpose
o Confirm approach and scope
- Employee kick-off meeting
o Kick-off
o Project timeline/purpose
o Confirm approach and scope
Item 22
Attachment A - OCA-

Work Study
Item 22: Staff Report Pg. 13 Packet Pg. 304 of 911
11
The approach will differ and is dependent on if Human Resources will provide the first assessment of positions
or initiate preliminary assessment at the employee level.
1a Approach. Human Resources evaluates positions using essential duties from the job descriptions and
designates positions ineligible to work remotely. Human Resources reviews the assessment with department
directors. For all remaining positions, employees self-evaluate their position eligibility, directors review the self-
assessment and Human Resources analyzes the responses to find an average question score for each
position. Human Resources should review all results with Managers/Directors for their input and approval of the
results.
1b Approach. All employees self-evaluate their position eligibility, directors review the self-assessment and
Human Resources analyzes the responses to find an average question score for each position. Human
Resources should review all results with Managers/Directors for their input and approval of the results.
From this analysis, Human Resources can designate positions as eligible for options of fully remote, flexible
hours/day schedules, or ineligible for remote work.
All results of the analysis should be shared with both Directors and Employees and include any next steps.
For Directors, considerations for next steps to accommodate employee requests going forward:
- Technology needs
- Scheduling needs
- Ebbs and flows of services in their department
For Employees, considerations for next steps going forward:
- A review of essential duties for similar positions would result in an equitable approach amongst all
employees and improve program deployment
5. Modification of the implementation plan
Using the feedback received in Phase 3, Human Resources should adjustment the implementation plan.
Considerations of adjustments should include the ability to adapt the plan to a changing environment within the
City (e.g. at different times of the year different needs may arise where staff may need a more frequent
presence in the office)
6. Implementation of position evaluation
Human Resources will need to prioritize the remaining City departments. Considerations on prioritizing should
include:
- High turnover or high vacancy rate departments
- Departments with a balance of administrative and non-administrative functions
- Seasonality of work and City milestones (e.g. budget planning, Capital infrastructure planning, high
volumes of outdoor functions for summer and spring activities)
Consider developing a phased deployment. A potential implementation approach includes:
- Phase 1: common positions across all departments (e.g. administrative assistants, Directors, etc.)
- Phase 2: Departments with common functionality (e.g. operations and fieldwork functions)
- Phase 3: Departments with common functionality (e.g. administrative and internal shared services
positions).
As mentioned in Phase 2, elements of a change management plan can assist Human Resources in this
implementation. In addition to the communication plan, a Change Management Approach implementation
strategy includes a training plan, business systems plan and resistance plan.
Having a plan to address any resistance from employees will assist with a successful program. A possible tool
to consider is a Resistance Assessment Survey. This survey identifies areas of possible resistance, and
provides a space for rating (1-5 from strongly disagree to strongly agree). Human Resources could deploy this
survey and aggregate the scores as they did for the evaluation tool to find pockets of resistance and approval.

Appendix A: Sample Policy Modifications
SHRM Telecommuting Policy and Procedure
Blue highlighted text indicates content recommended to include in City Policy
Objective
Telecommuting allows employees to work at home, on the road or in a satellite location for all or part of their workweek.
[Organization Name] considers telecommuting to be a viable, flexible work option when both the employee and the job are
suited to such an arrangement. Telecommuting may be appropriate for some employees and jobs but not for others.
Telecommuting is not an entitlement, it is not a companywide benefit, and it in no way changes the terms and conditions
of employment with [Organization Name].
Procedures
Telecommuting can be informal, such as working from home for a short-term project or on the road during business travel,
or a formal, set schedule of working away from the office as described below. Either an employee or a supervisor can
suggest telecommuting as a possible work arrangement.
Any telecommuting arrangement made will be on a trial basis for the first three months and may be discontinued at will
and at any time at the request of either the telecommuter or the organization. Every effort will be made to provide 30 days’
notice of such change to accommodate commuting, child care and other issues that may arise from the termination of a
telecommuting arrangement. There may be instances, however, when no notice is possible.
Eligibility
Individuals requesting formal telecommuting arrangements must be employed with [Organization Name] for a minimum of
12 months of continuous, regular employment and must have a satisfactory performance record.
Before entering into any telecommuting agreement, the employee and manager, with the assistance of the human
resource department, will evaluate the suitability of such an arrangement, reviewing the following areas:
Employee suitability. The employee and manager will assess the needs and work habits of the employee,
compared to traits customarily recognized as appropriate for successful telecommuters.
Job responsibilities. The employee and manager will discuss the job responsibilities and determine if the job is
appropriate for a telecommuting arrangement.
Equipment needs, workspace design considerations and scheduling issues. The employee and manager will
review the physical workspace needs and the appropriate location for the telework.
Tax and other legal implications. The employee must determine any tax or legal implications under IRS, state and
local government laws, and/or restrictions of working out of a home-based office. Responsibility for fulfilling all
obligations in this area rests solely with the employee.
If the employee and manager agree, and the human resource department concurs, a draft telecommuting agreement will
be prepared and signed by all parties, and a three-month trial period will commence.
Evaluation of telecommuter performance during the trial period will include regular interaction by phone and e-mail
between the employee and the manager, and weekly face-to-face meetings to discuss work progress and problems. At
the end of the trial period, the employee and manager will each complete an evaluation of the arrangement and make
recommendations for continuance or modifications. Evaluation of telecommuter performance beyond the trial period will

be consistent with that received by employees working at the office in both content and frequency but will focus on work
output and completion of objectives rather than on time-based performance.
An appropriate level of communication between the telecommuter and supervisor will be agreed to as part of the
discussion process and will be more formal during the trial period. After conclusion of the trial period, the manager and
telecommuter will communicate at a level consistent with employees working at the office or in a manner and frequency
that is appropriate for the job and the individuals involved.
Equipment
On a case-by-case basis, [Organization Name] will determine, with information supplied by the employee and the
supervisor, the appropriate equipment needs (including hardware, software, modems, phone and data lines and other
office equipment) for each telecommuting arrangement. The human resource and information system departments will
serve as resources in this matter. Equipment supplied by the organization will be maintained by the organization.
Equipment supplied by the employee, if deemed appropriate by the organization, will be maintained by the employee.
[Organization Name] accepts no responsibility for damage or repairs to employee-owned equipment. [Organization Name]
reserves the right to make determinations as to appropriate equipment, subject to change at any time. Equipment
supplied by the organization is to be used for business purposes only. The telecommuter must sign an inventory of all
[Organization Name] property received and agree to take appropriate action to protect the items from damage or theft.
Upon termination of employment, all company property will be returned to the company, unless other arrangements have
been made.
[Organization Name] will supply the employee with appropriate office supplies (pens, paper, etc.) as deemed necessary.
[Organization Name] will also reimburse the employee for business-related expenses, such as phone calls and shipping
costs, that are reasonably incurred in carrying out the employee’s job.
The employee will establish an appropriate work environment within his or her home for work purposes. [Organization
Name] will not be responsible for costs associated with the setup of the employee’s home office, such as remodeling,
furniture or lighting, nor for repairs or modifications to the home office space.
Security
Consistent with the organization’s expectations of information security for employees working at the office, telecommuting
employees will be expected to ensure the protection of proprietary company and customer information accessible from
their home office. Steps include the use of locked file cabinets and desks, regular password maintenance, and any other
measures appropriate for the job and the environment.
Safety
Employees are expected to maintain their home workspace in a safe manner, free from safety hazards. [Organization
Name] will provide each telecommuter with a safety checklist that must be completed at least twice per year. Injuries
sustained by the employee in a home office location and in conjunction with his or her regular work duties are normally
covered by the company’s workers’ compensation policy. Telecommuting employees are responsible for notifying the
employer of such injuries as soon as practicable. The employee is liable for any injuries sustained by visitors to his or her
home worksite.
Telecommuting is not designed to be a replacement for appropriate child care. Although an individual employee’s
schedule may be modified to accommodate child care needs, the focus of the arrangement must remain on job
performance and meeting business demands. Prospective telecommuters are encouraged to discuss expectations of
telecommuting with family members prior to entering a trial period.

Time Worked
Telecommuting employees who are not exempt from the overtime requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act will be
required to accurately record all hours worked using [Organization Name]’s time-keeping system. Hours worked in excess
of those scheduled per day and per workweek require the advance approval of the telecommuter’s supervisor. Failure to
comply with this requirement may result in the immediate termination of the telecommuting agreement.
Ad Hoc Arrangements
Temporary telecommuting arrangements may be approved for circumstances such as inclement weather, special projects
or business travel. These arrangements are approved on an as-needed basis only, with no expectation of ongoing
continuance.
Other informal, short-term arrangements may be made for employees on family or medical leave to the extent practical for
the employee and the organization and with the consent of the employee’s health care provider, if appropriate.
All informal telecommuting arrangements are made on a case-by-case basis, focusing first on the business needs of the
organization.

POLICY AND PROCEDURE 2-38/HRD
Revised: June 2021
Blue highlighted text indicates content recommend to include from SHRM policy.
Green highlighted text indicates Baker Tilly language based upon review of current state and federal reimbursement
requirements. Baker Tilly does not provide legal advice. We recommend the City consult with their employment law
counsel prior to any sample form or policy adoption.
REMOTE WORK POLICY
PURPOSE
The purpose of this Policy is to provide guidance for administering remote work.
DEFINITIONS
Remote Work is the practice of working from an alternative worksite on either a voluntary (Remote Work
Arrangement) or assigned (Remote Work Assignment) on a regular basis. Occasional remote work is when an
employee is approved to work remotely on an infrequent or project basis. Occasional remote work does not
require a formal remote work agreement.
Remote Work Agreement is the formal agreement between a supervisor and an employee which defines the
employee’s regular remote work schedule and details any City-owned resources the employee will use in the
alternative worksite.
Alternative Worksite is a location where the employee works other than at a City facility.
POLICY
It is the policy of the City of Palo Alto to allow and/or assign employees to work remotely when it is consistent with the
City’s operational needs.
When the employee and their position are eligible and well-suited for remote work, Department Directors are strongly
encouraged to allow remote work.
Remote work can be advantageous to the employee, department and the community. Research and numerous sources
have identified that remote work:
• Reduces air pollutants and decreases traffic, parking congestion and overcrowding of public transportation.
• Improves the City’s ability to maintain services during an emergency when the regular worksite is inaccessible.
• Enhances the ability to recruit and retain quality employees, improves job satisfaction, supports work-life balance,
and may increase productivity.
While remote work is typically a voluntary arrangement, the City may require work to be performed remotely based on
operational needs or in emergency circumstances. Remote work is a service delivery model that can be used to meet
operational needs, and is not to be viewed as an entitlement, reward or benefit. All City employees who are working
remotely on a regular basis must have an approved Remote Work Agreement under this Policy. Occasional Remote Work
must be documented and approved in advance by the employee’s supervisor, but no formal Remote Work Agreement is
required.
Remote work does not alter duties, obligations, responsibilities and conditions of employment for the employee who is
approved and/or assigned to work remotely. Employees working remotely remain obligated to comply with all City rules,
regulations, policies, procedures, and state and federal laws.

Remote Work is not designed to be a replacement for appropriate child care. Although an individual employee’s schedule
may be modified to accommodate child care needs, the focus of the arrangement must remain on job performance and
meeting business demands. Prospective remote workers are encouraged to discuss expectations of remote work with
family members prior to entering a trial period
PROCEDURE
All employees must have a Remote Work Agreement in order to work remotely on a regular basis.
Any Remote Work arrangement made will be on a trial basis for the first three months and may be discontinued at will and
at any time at the request of either the telecommuter or the organization. Every effort will be made to provide 30 days’
notice of such change to accommodate commuting, child care and other issues that may arise from the termination of a
remote work arrangement. There may be instances, however, when no notice is possible.
Evaluation of telecommuter performance during the trial period will include regular interaction by phone and e-mail
between the employee and the manager, with recommended bi-weekly meetings to discuss work progress and problems.
At the end of the trial period, the employee and manager will each complete an evaluation of the arrangement and make
recommendations for continuance or modifications. Evaluation of telecommuter performance beyond the trial period will
be consistent with that received by employees working at the office in both content and frequency but will focus on work
output and completion of objectives rather than on time-based performance.
An appropriate level of communication between the telecommuter and supervisor will be agreed to as part of the
discussion process and will be more formal during the trial period. After conclusion of the trial period, the manager and
telecommuter will communicate at a level consistent with employees working at the office or in a manner and frequency
that is appropriate for the job and the individuals involved.
Remote Work Request Initiated by Employee (Remote Work Arrangements)
Employees who believe they may be eligible for Remote Work as defined in this Policy must first discuss their desire to
work remotely with their direct supervisor. At that time, the supervisor and employee can discuss eligibility, schedule,
equipment needs, work hours, and other items that are part of the Remote Work Agreement and this Policy.
The employee must then submit the Remote Work Agreement to their supervisor for approval. If the supervisor approves
the Remote Work Agreement, they will submit the agreement to the Department Director or designee for consideration.
The Department Director or designee will either approve, deny, or modify the agreement. A copy of the final signed
agreement must be provided to the employee, their supervisor, and submitted to Human Resources.
Should an employee’s remote work request be denied, the decision is final and not subject to the grievance procedure or
any other appeal. The employee may request to meet with the Human Resources Director or their designee to discuss
their denial.
As part of an employee’s annual performance appraisal, the Remote Work Agreement should be evaluated by the
employee and supervisor to determine if the arrangement is successful and if it should continue. The Remote Work
Agreement should be updated with any changes and submitted for approval by the Department Director or designee.
The Department Director or designee can suspend or cancel the Remote Work Agreement with at least five business
days’ written notice when possible. In the event operational necessity does not allow for five business days’ notice, the
Department Director or designee may suspend or cancel the Remote Work Agreement with less notice. General
considerations for terminating the agreement include, but are not limited to, operational need, performance, conduct,
safety, and violation of the Remote Work Policy and other City policies. Termination of the agreement is administrative
and not considered discipline. The decision is not be subject to the grievance procedure nor can it be appealed.

If operational needs require remote work for continuity of City services, or in cases of emergency, managers and the
Department Director will evaluate each position for remote work. The requirement to perform work remotely will be
assigned in consultation with the City Manager’s Office and Human Resources. Employees assigned to work remotely
must complete a Remote Work Agreement. Remote Work Assignments may be discontinued at any time at the sole
discretion of the City pursuant to the procedures outlined above.
ELIGIBILITY
Not all positions or employees are eligible for remote work. When determining whether an employee requesting remote
work is eligible, employees must meet both the position eligibility criteria and performance eligibility criteria. When a
position is being required to work remotely due to operational necessity and continuity of service or emergency
circumstances, City management will evaluate the eligibility of the position and follow any local, state or federal guidance.
Individuals requesting Remote Work arrangements must maintain a satisfactory performance record.
*** Eligibility requirements may need to be revised based on the final outcome of the Remote and Flexible Work Study***
Position Based Eligibility:
Criteria for establishing eligibility of a position:
In-person interaction or physical presence on a daily basis is not essential to the performance of job duties and may
be scheduled or conducted virtually to permit Remote Work.
Some or all the job duties are able to be performed from an alternative worksite without diminishing the quality and
timeliness of the work.
Appropriate equipment must be available or can be made available in the alternative worksite to perform job duties
and assigned tasks.
Remote Work must not unduly disrupt or create problems for projects, staff, the community or other stakeholders.
When performed remotely, job duties can be completed in compliance with all applicable IT, Security, Privacy and
Confidentiality policies and procedures.
Performance Based Eligibility:
Criteria for establishing eligibility of an employee:
Employee is adaptable, with a proven ability to work independently.
Employee demonstrates good time-management skills by completing quality assignments on time.
Employee communicates information efficiently with leadership, coworkers, support staff and customers.
Employee sets appropriate priorities, changes priorities as needed, and maintains a suitable workspace.
Employee possesses computer and other necessary skills sufficient to work independently at an alternate worksite.
CONDITIONS
Schedule and Work Hours:
The actual time worked by the employee, as established by the Remote Work Agreement, must be accurately recorded
on the timesheet.
Employees FLSA status as exempt or non-exempt will not be altered as a result of the employee working
remotely.
The number of hours worked by the employee will not change because the employee is working at an alternative
worksite.

Work Study
Item 22: Staff Report Pg. 20 Packet Pg. 311 of 911
18
Employees eligible for overtime may work overtime only when directed to do so and approved in advance by the
supervisor.
Employees must obtain approval to use vacation, sick, or other leave in the same manner as departmental
employees who do not work remotely.
Employees working remotely will maintain accessibility via email, phone, or as otherwise agreed to by their
supervisor during agreed upon work hours.
Employees must follow all regular timecoding requirements.
Employees working at an alternate worksite may be required to report to a City facility on a remote workday. Supervisors
should give at least 24 hours’ notice of this change, unless an unforeseeable immediate need should arise. An employee
who is required to report to a City facility instead of their alternative worksite is not eligible for travel reimbursement. When
an employee is required to report to a City Facility on the same day, then travel time to the City facility shall be considered
hours worked.
Occasional requests by employees to change their schedule should be accommodated by the supervisor if possible.
Occasional changes (such as working remotely on a different day in the same week) do not constitute a change in the
underlying agreement. A permanent schedule change would require an employee to resubmit an approved Remote Work
Agreement.
Remote Worksite & Equipment
It is the responsibility of the employee to create a safe and ergonomically suitable environment for work. Employees shall
make all reasonable efforts to ensure their remote work area meets the ergonomic standards of the City. Upon request,
the City will provide an ergonomic evaluation for the employee’s alternative worksite.
Employees working remotely must work in an environment that allows them to perform their duties safely and efficiently.
Employees are responsible for ensuring their work areas comply with health and safety requirements. Employees are
covered by workers’ compensation laws when performing work duties at their designated alternate locations during their
regular work hours. Employees who suffer a work-related injury or illness while remote working must notify their
supervisor and complete any required forms immediately in accordance with the City’s Workers’ Compensation Policy.
In order to work remotely, employees and supervisors must identify the equipment, software, and supplies required to
successfully work at an alternate location. The employee will not be eligible for Remote Work if the required equipment is
not available. IT will serve as resources to assist employees and supervisors determine appropriate equipment needs.
The remote worker must sign an inventory of all City property received and agree to take appropriate action to protect the
items from damage or theft
City Equipment:
Any equipment and software shall remain the property of the City and is limited to use for purposes relating to City
business only. Employees working remotely must keep City-owned equipment in good working order, report any problems
or malfunctions immediately, and must promptly return equipment upon completion or termination of their Remote Work
Agreement, or separation from the City.
Basic office supplies that normally are available at the City worksite for the employee's use (e.g., pens, binders, notepads,
Post-its, etc., but not including printer ink cartridges) may be used at the employee’s remote worksite in accordance with
the same policies that govern their use at the City worksite. Employees working remotely will not be reimbursed for
additional office supplies unless approval to purchase supplies is given in advance. City issued supplies must be used for
City work purposes only. Any other costs may be incurred only with prior approval by the Department Director.
City-issued laptops or other required computer equipment and repairs will be provided based on need and availability. To
ensure hardware and software security, all software used for remote work must be approved by the department and IT

before installation. Networking can only be established using compatible hardware and software. All remote work must be
done through the City VPN or approved applications.
Personal Equipment:
When not provided by the City, employees under a Remote Work Agreement are expected to use personal office
equipment including, but not limited to, furniture, seating, internet access, scanners, calculators, ink cartridges, etc., used
while working remotely.
Employees working remotely are responsible for the maintenance and repair of their office equipment and are required to
install and maintain personal office equipment at no expense to the City. The employee is responsible for ensuring that
software used on non-City premises is compatible with City standards.
Business-related Expenses:
Employees voluntarily working remotely are responsible for all business expenses incurred. Should the City require
employees to work remotely, the City will supply the employee with “necessary” and “reasonable” expenses 10. Employees
may not incur expenses before receiving written approval from a department supervisor.
Information Security and Protection
Remote workers, like all City employees, are expected to protect confidential, proprietary, and business information from
unauthorized or accidental access, destruction, or disclosure. Employees may not disclose confidential or private files,
records, materials, or information, and may not allow access to
City networks or databases to anyone who is not authorized to have access.
Employees who work remotely shall comply with the City’s Information Security Policy, Information Security Standards,
Information Privacy Policy and ensure the protection of the City’s protected information.
Ad Hoc Arrangements
Temporary remote work arrangements may be approved for circumstances such as inclement weather, special projects or
business travel. These arrangements are approved on an as-needed basis only, with no expectation of ongoing
continuance.
Other informal, short-term arrangements may be made for employees on family or medical leave to the extent practical for
the employee and the organization and with the consent of the employee’s health care provider, if appropriate.
All informal remote work arrangements are made on a case-by-case basis, focusing first on the business needs of the
organization.
Exceptions
The City is not liable for loss or destruction of the employee’s home or personal property while working remotely. The City
is not liable for injury to the employee that occurs outside of remote work hours or while not conducting City work. The City

Hybrid Work Agreement Form (FY23)
All workers who are assigned to Telework, including those who partially Telework, should complete this
form. Telework minimizes the number of employees at City facilities, while allowing essential work to
continue.
By submitting this Telework Agreement you acknowledge and agree to the following: While on this
telework arrangement, you are expected to fully engage in your job and to work in a manner that is
safe, efficient and responsible. Telework requires that you take extra care to remain in close
communication with your supervisor and co-workers. When you telework, you have the same
responsibilities as when you work at your normal worksite. Responsibilities include being immediately
available during work time, following work policies and protocols; protecting the confidentiality of
sensitive data; maintaining a safe work area and reporting any injury; protecting government property;
and reporting your absences accurately. In addition, if you are in a classification that allows for
overtime or comp time you are required to obtain prior approval from your supervisor.

The Palo Alto City Administration thanks the City Auditor’s Office for their work on this important and timely topic. As requested by the Administration, this
study provides an independent perspective on one of the most widely discussed and rapidly evolving contemporary workplace issues. The study affirms that
the City’s efforts, initiated pre-pandemic, continue to reflect a progressive and balanced approach to ensuring worker productivity in delivering services to the
community while continuing to model an “employer of choice.” This will continue to guide and inform future decision making and strategic opportunities for
revision of hybrid working practices.

In regards to excluding employees on probation, the City did not include this
provision as providing hybrid work as an option may offer flexibility candidates
are seeking.
“hybrid work”, now titled the Hybrid Work Policy, and will be reviewed
periodically or at minimum, annually as recommended.
Finding 2: Remote Work Procedures
The City should revise the current agreement form to include a more
robust list of employee obligations to improve the clarity of
responsibilities for remote workers and their departments. The City
should also ensure that the agreement form reflects the content of the
current teleworking policy.
A sample revision of the form is provided in Appendix B.

Concurrence: Partially Agree
Target Date: March 2023
Completion To be determined during the OCA’s follow-up review
Action Plan:
The City provides regular and consistent training to supervisors and managers
on how to effectively communicate performance feedback, use progressive
discipline, targeted development plans, and leave of absence tracking to
ensure efficient and effective delivery of City services. Changes to the Hybrid
Policy and agreement form that infer disciplinary results or actions would
detract from the City’s established performance management processes and
cause meet and discuss obligations with the City’s different impacted labor
groups. Authority of managers and supervisors is clearly articulated in the
City’s merit rules to document expectations of an employee to perform their
assigned tasks. An employee performing their assigned tasks remotely does

not impact the supervisor’s responsibility to complete the performance
management process.
The City closely reviewed sample documents from the Society for Human
Resources Management in developing the revision to the Remote Work Policy
and Agreement form currently utilized. The City’s Hybrid Work agreement
form has been updated to reference the Hybrid Work policy and include link.
Finding 3: Remote Work Position Eligibility
The City should development standardized criteria for position remote
and flex work eligibility. All positions should be evaluated for full remote,
partial remote/flex schedule, and ineligible remote work. Once position
eligibility is determined, The City should follow existing policy to review
individual employee eligibility for all eligible positions.

Action Plan:
position eligibility and employee eligibility creating a two-step process for
approving hybrid work. Fully remote is not articulated as an option going forward
as no longer mandated by public health conditions, except as a special
exemption authorized by the City Manager’s Office. A survey tool such as
discussed during the audit, using criteria tailored to City operational
requirements, will be placed on the HR website as a resource that can be
incorporated into future use by supervisors and managers when reviewing a
position for hybrid work eligibility.
Opportunities
We provide context to consider for future implementation of a remote and

City Attorney’s Response to Policy and Services’ Questions regarding the Potential for Waiver of
Workers’ Compensation Coverage in the Context of Remote Work
At Policy and Services, the Committee noted that both the SHRM remote work model policy and the City
of Palo Alto’s remote work policy state that employees are covered by workers’ compensation laws
when performing work duties at their designated alternate locations during their regular work hours.
Committee members expressed concern that alternative work environments are not entirely within the
employer’s control, with the potential that these environments could carry increased risk of worker
injury without the employer’s knowledge and ability to take corrective action. Committee members
inquired whether it is possible for the City to require employees to waive workers’ compensation
coverage under these circumstances.
The answer is no. California’s Workers’ Compensation Act is meant to apply to all workplace injuries,
irrespective of the fault of any party.1 A waiver is a type of contract, and State law provides that no
contract, rule, or regulation can exempt an employer from liability for workers’ compensation.2
Even if waivers were an option, which they are not, it would likely not be advisable to require waivers
for remote work. This is because, in general, workers’ compensation liability is often preferable to the
alternative, which is civil liability. While the Workers' Compensation Act expands employers’ liability for
workplace injuries, it also strictly limits the amount recoverable3 and the types of damages available 4, as
compared to the civil litigation system where disputes over employee injuries would otherwise be
adjudicated. When workers’ compensation applies, an employee may generally only seek damages
within the framework of workers’ compensation.5 Broad application of workers’ compensation lowers
an employer’s exposure to high dollar damage awards, while increasing the employees’ access to
expeditious and reasonable relief.
As the audit recommends, an employer’s best tools to address concerns around the safety of alternative
workspaces is to establish policies, educate remote workers, and conduct inspections as needed.

Ordinance of the Council of the City of Palo Alto Amending Chapter 9.68
(Rental Housing Stabilization) to Clarify the Definitions of At-Fault and No-Fault
Just Cause for Evictions, Extend Just Cause Eviction Protections to More Rental
Units in Palo Alto than Offered by State Law, and to Enact a Security Deposit
Limit for Unfurnished Rental Units in Palo Alto
The Council of the City of Palo Alto ORDAINS as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings and Declarations. The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. Renters represent a significant percentage of Palo Alto’s population;
B. Landlords provide a significant community service by providing rental housing in the City
of Palo Alto;
C. Palo Alto has great diversity in residential rental property and rental unit types, ranging
from single-family homes, accessory and junior accessory dwelling units, to properties
with multi-family apartment buildings containing a variety of rental units;
D. There is a need to ensure that housing is provided for people of all income levels, and
affirmatively further fair housing;
E. The Palo Alto rental market is one of the most expensive in the country, which is one
factor that can lead to potential renters being unable to afford standard rental unit move-
in costs;
F. The Palo Alto rental market is one of the most expensive in the country, which is one
factor that can lead to renters at risk of displacement;
G. The city desires to implement policies for certainty, stability, and fairness in the rental
market for renters and landlords;
H. A significant number of renters in Palo Alto are low -income and cost-burdened;
I. Move-in costs for unfurnished residential rental units commonly include first and last
month's rent plus a security deposit of up to two months’ rent, leading to high initial move
in costs ,
J. The State of California created eviction protections for some rental units in Palo Alto but
not others through the enactment of California Assembly Bill 1482 (2019), which currently
automatically sunsets in 2030,

K. The city is making significant investments on an ongoing basis regarding rental unit
protection, preservation, and production and will also soon need to implement the 6 th
Cycle Housing Element policies and programs; and
L. On November 29, 2021, the City Council held a public meeting to discuss a variety of
renter protection measures and directed staff to draft a Security Deposit Limit ordinance
that caps the maximum allowed security deposit for unfurnished rental units in Palo Alto
to one and one half times (1.5x) the monthly rent, whereas California Civil Code section
1950.5 allows for the maximum security deposit for unfurnished units to be two times
(2x) the monthly rent,
M. On November 29, 2021, the City Council held a public meeting to discuss a variety of
renter protection measures and directed staff to draft a response to California Assembly
Bill 1482 (2019) by preparing an Eviction Reduction/Just Cause ordinance for Palo Alto to
extend state eviction protections to properties built and receiving occupancy within the
last fifteen (15) years, but does not include rental units occupied less than a year or single
family homes not owned by a corporation or renters who live in a duplex when one unit
is owner occupied,
N. On February 9, 2023, the Human Relations Commission held a public meeting to discuss
the effectiveness of existing renter protections in Palo Alto and recommended that the
City Council adopt the extensions described by the City Council on November 29, 2021 in
addition to several other extensions,
O. The city, while still retaining local definitions in some cases, adjusted the previous Palo
Alto definitions of at-fault and no-fault just cause eviction in order to be consistent with
California Assembly Bill 1482 (2019) for the purposes of consistency, transparency, legal
clarity,
P. The city finds that the Eviction Reduction/Just Cause and Security Deposit Limit ordinance
is not in conflict with and is more protective than California Assembly Bill 1482 (2019) in
regard to the number of rental units receiving eviction protections and relocation
assistance, the limitations on security deposits for unfurnished residential rental units,
and, in some circumstances, in regard to the Tenant Relocation Assistance (TRA) dollar
amount required if a tenant received a no -fault just cause eviction, and because the
ordinance is permanent and does not contain the California Assembly Bill 1482 (2019)
automatic sunset in 2030,
Q. The City Council finds and determines that the Eviction Reduction/Just Cause and Security
Deposit Limit ordinance codified in Palo Alto Municipal Code Chapter 9.68 (Rental
Housing Stabilization) is adopted pursuant to the city’s authority to protect the public
health, safety, and welfare.
SECTION 2. Chapter 9.68 (Rental Housing Stabilization) of Title 9 (Public Peace, Morals
and Safety) is hereby amended as follows (new text underlined and deletions struck-through):

9.68.010. Purpose.
(a) It is found and declared that there is a growing shortage of, but increasing
demand for, housing in the city of Palo Alto. Such shortage and increased
demand, coupled with increasing inflation, have placed substantial pressure on
those residents of Palo Alto seeking rental housing. This council finds that
tenantrenters are entitled to a contractual relationship with a landlord that
offers some assurance of stability and fair treatment under the terms of a
written lease so as toto minimize displacement of tenantrenters into a rental
housing market which affords them few and expensive options.
(b) Council further finds that the provisions of California Assembly Bill 1482 (2019),
as codified and later expanded in the Civil Code of the state of California, offers
important protections from instability and displacement to renters. The
provisions of that bill as they relate to eviction reduction are restated and
expanded below, to make the protections permanent in the city of Palo Alto and
extend them to renters living in qualified residential rental units that received a
certificate of occupancy within the last fifteen years.

The overall system average proposed rate changes are below, with the expected average utility bill for
residential service to increase 3% in FY 2024.
- 9% increase for wastewater,
- 5% increase for water,
- 4.9% increase for Dark Fiber rate schedules EDF-1 and EDF-2 and
- 4.9% increase for the Storm Water Management Fee.
- 5% decrease for electric [approved by Council April 17th], and
- 8% increase for gas [approved by Council April 17th].
Drivers of the water and wastewater rate changes include rising costs of construction inflation, commodity
prices and the rising cost to transport water. Additionally, infrastructure is aging, and investment is
needed to maintain the health and reliability of the water and wastewater utilities.
On April 17, 2023, the Council held a study session9 and a Gas10 and Electric11 public hearing regarding
rates for those utilities and approved the Gas and Electric rate changes. For this reason, this report does
not address Gas and Electric utility rates. On the same day, the Council directed staff to proceed with
Proposition 218 notification of Water and Wastewater rate changes recommended by Finance Committee
on March 21, 2023, and agendize a public hearing for these rates on June 19, 2023. Staff completed the
Proposition 218 customer notifications and revised the Water utility financial plan, and rate sheets
consistent with the Council and Finance Committee’s direction (for a 2% water distribution rate increase).

Wastewater Collection
Utilities staff presented to the UAC on March 1, 2023,14 the Finance Committee on March 7, 202315 and
March 21, 202316 a recommendation that Council approve the FY 2024 Wastewater Utility Financial Plan
as follows:
Staff recommended the following transfers at the end of FY 2023:
1. up to $3.178 million from the Capital Improvement Projects Reserve to the Operations Reserve;
and
2. up to $342 thousand from the Rate Stabilization Reserve to the Operations Reserve; and
Staff also recommended the following rate actions for FY 2024:
3. An increase to retail Wastewater Collection Utility Rates S-1 (Residential Wastewater Collection
and Disposal), S-2 (Commercial Wastewater Collection and Disposal), S-6 (Restaurant
Wastewater Collection and Disposal) and S-7 (Commercial Wastewater Collection and Disposal –
Industrial Discharger) of 9% effective July 1, 2023
The UAC unanimously approved the staff recommendation. When staff first made this recommendation
to the Finance Committee at the March 7, 2023 meeting the Finance Committee did not approve it, but
instead asked staff to return with additional information for further evaluation for the Wastewater Utility.
When staff returned to the Finance Committee on March 21, 2023 the Committee unanimously
recommended approval of the staff recommendation as written in Staff Report 2302-094417 after
reviewing the additional information.

2. up to $3.0 million from the Rate Stabilization Reserve to the Operations Reserve in FY 2023; and
Staff also recommended the following rate actions for FY 2024:
3. An increase to retail Water Distribution Utility Rates W-1 (General Residential Water service),

Master-Metered and General Non-Residential Water Service), and W-7 (Non-Residential
Irrigation Water Service) of 2% effective July 1, 2023
The Finance Committee unanimously recommended approval of this proposal on March 21, 2023.
Storm Drain
On March 7, 2023, Public Works staff presented the Finance Committee with a recommendation that the
City Council adopt a resolution amending Utility Rate Schedule D-1 (Storm and Surface Water Drainage)
to implement a 4.9 percent rate increase consistent with the applicable Consumer Price Index, increasing
the monthly charge per Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) by $0.78, from $15.98 to $16.76 for FY 2024.
See Staff Report 2302-095721 for more information.
The Finance Committee unanimously recommended approval of this proposal on March 7, 2023.
ANALYSIS
Based upon feedback from the UAC, Finance Committee and City Council during March and April 2023,
this report requests City Council adoption of the remaining proposed rate changes for Fiscal Year (FY)
2024. This report contains links to the documents referenced and links to the City’s website for all the
staff reports presented through the review process to the UAC, Finance Committee and City Council.
Staff and the Finance Committee recommend that the City Council approve the utility financial plans,
reserve transfers and proposed rate changes listed below. The City Council has already approved the
rate changes and financial plans for both the Gas and Electric utilities on April 17, 2023.
Proposed Rate Changes and Financial Plans
Wastewater Collection Proposal
The City’s Wastewater Collection (sewer) system collects wastewater from Palo Alto residents and delivers
it to the Regional Water Quality Control Plant (RWQCP) for treatment. The City of Palo Alto runs the
RWQCP, which also treats wastewater for five other partner agencies (Stanford, East Palo Alto Sanitary
District, Los Altos Hills, Los Altos, and Mountain View). Some of the wastewater for certain partner
agencies is also transported across the City’s wastewater collection system. The Wastewater Collection
Utility has two main costs: Palo Alto’s share of the cost of running the RWQCP (treatment costs) and the
costs of operating and maintaining the collection system.
One of the main drivers for the increase in the Wastewater Collection Utility’s costs (and therefore rates)
over the next several years is the cost for wastewater treatment, which is projected to increase by an
average of 6.2% annually from FY 2022 to FY 2028 as the City makes several upgrades to the RWQCP.
Increases to capital expenses begin in FY 2024 with the Joint Intercepting Sewer Rehabilitation
construction, funded on a pay-as-you-go basis. Additional debt service payments begin as estimated:

- In FY 2025 for the Primary Sedimentation Tank,
- In FY 2028, for the construction of an Outfall Line, Lab/Technical Services building, and Operations
building remodel, and
- In 2029 for Secondary Treatment Upgrades and Headworks.
Staff projects Wastewater Collection operations and CIP costs (excluding costs associated with treatment)
to increase by approximately 3.7% annually from FY 2022 to FY 2028; operations costs are projected to
grow an average of 1.4% annually over the same time period. The Wastewater Collection Utility
undertakes a larger main replacement project every other year. Undertaking a larger main replacement
project every other year allows staff to continue replacing wastewater mains that are in poor condition,
while easing scheduling difficulties for inspection coverage due to shared staffing across Water,
Wastewater, Gas, and large development services projects. Over the last few years, main replacement
costs have been increasing for utilities due to economic activity in the Bay Area causing construction cost
inflation. It is likely that this trend will continue in the short term.
The Finance Committee, UAC and staff recommend accelerating the rate of main replacements, from 1
mile to 2.5 miles per year beginning in FY 2026. This acceleration will allow the Wastewater Collection
Utility to replace the last main no more than approximately 8 years beyond its anticipated 100-year life
expectancy. Staff’s recommendation attempts to minimize rate impacts while also prudently managing
the City’s infrastructure and maintaining an acceptable level of risk.
Staff proposes a 9% overall rate increase in FY 2024, 9% annual rate increases in FY 2025 and FY 2026, 8%
in FY 2027 and 5% in FY 2028, to cover current and projected costs.
Water Proposal
The City’s water rate schedules currently consist of a volumetric charge for each CCF (100 Cubic Feet or
748 gallons) of water consumed during the billing period and a monthly service charge for each customer,
based on water meter size. The volumetric charge has two parts: a wholesale commodity rate (or San
Francisco Public Utilities Commission or SFPUC wholesale rate), and a volumetric rate. Water rates are
designed to recover the City’s costs of buying and distributing water while maintaining adequate financial
reserves. The volumetric rate and the monthly service charge together are considered distribution rates;
revenue from those rates pay for the upkeep of Palo Alto’s distribution system. Revenue from the
wholesale commodity rate pays for the City’s cost of buying water from the SFPUC.
The FY 2024 Water Utility Financial Plan includes projections of the utility’s costs and revenues for FY 2023
through FY 2028. The Financial Plan projects costs to rise by about 2-3% per year over the next several
years. California has experienced drought over the past 3 years and customer response to state, regional
and local calls for water conservation reduced water sales revenue. In FY 2022, water sales revenue
declined by 7% compared with FY 2021; the FY 2023 Financial Plan anticipated this level of reduction and
there was adequate funding in the Operations Reserve as well as offsetting cost reductions due to lower
water purchase costs.
On April 11, 2023, Palo Alto’s water supplier, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC),
rescinded the Water Shortage Emergency Declaration but kept the voluntary San Francisco Regional
Water system-wide water use reduction of 11% in place until the State’s emergency regulation expires in
June. Palo Alto’s water use restrictions track both the State’s regulation and SFPUC’s water use regulation.
Staff expects some rebound in water sales during FY 2024, while some water conservation is projected to
be permanent. Other revenues also declined below prior forecast levels primarily due to reductions in

water service connection and capacity fee revenue. These drought impacts put upward pressure on water
rates. While these rate increases can be perceived as decreasing the benefit of conservation, bills for
customers who conserve will be lower in the future than they would have been without conservation.
The Water Fund’s healthy reserve levels allowed the Water Utility to hold rates flat for two years (FY 2021
and FY 2022) and provide adequate funding for the first year of drought-related sales revenue reductions
in FY 2022. Additionally, the Finance Committee and staff propose the Water Utility use remaining
reserves to mitigate distribution rate increases (rates that cover the cost to deliver water within the City)
to 2% in FY 2024 and to 7% annually from FY 2025 through FY 2028 while still funding essential capital
investments.
Customers pay a separate commodity rate for purchased water from the SFPUC relative to the rest of the
distribution-related portion of the volumetric rates. This commodity charge passes through SFPUC rate
increases to customers (Resolution 9844).22 The pass-through commodity rate is currently $4.75 per
hundred cubic feet (CCF). On May 9, 2023, SFPUC held a public hearing and adopted the FY 2024 wholesale
water rate of $5.21 per CCF, effective July 1, 2023; this represents an increase of 9.7% from the current
rate. Palo Alto will notify customers at least 30 days in advance of the pass-through rate increase via their
billing statements or by any other mailing by CPAU to the customer’s regular billing address.
Dark Fiber Proposal
Since 2007, the EDF-1 and EDF-2 rates for Dark Fiber customers have increased annually by the annual
December change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) in the San Francisco area,
as stated in their dark fiber license agreements and rate schedules. Based on prior UAC and City Council
direction, these rate changes are routinely included as part of the Budget adoption process rather than in
a separate staff report. This year’s change in CPI-U was 4.9 percent, as reported by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. The City has five customers remaining on the EDF-1 rate schedule, which applies to customer
accounts established before September 18, 2006. All other dark fiber customers are on the EDF-3 rate
schedule, which has remained unchanged since its inception on September 18, 2006, and no rate change
is recommended for this year. The attached rate schedules EDF-1, EDF-2 and EDF-3 include minor
clarifications that are not substantive to synchronize the rate schedules with the defined terms in City of
Palo Alto Utilities Rule and Regulation 2.
Storm Water and Surface Water Drainage Proposal
On April 11, 2017, a majority of Palo Alto property owners approved a ballot measure approving a monthly
Storm Water Management Fee. This fee funds thirteen storm drainage capital improvement projects
listed in the ballot measure, enhanced maintenance of the storm drainage system, and a variety of storm
water quality protection programs. The approved ballot measure allows for an annual adjustment based
on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or six percent, whichever is less. The Storm Water and Surface Drainage
Rate will increase 4.9 percent, increasing the monthly charge per Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) by
$0.78, from $15.98 to $16.76 for Fiscal Year 2024 effective July 1, 2023, to reflect the annual CPI change.

TIMELINE
Water and Wastewater Collection Rates
After the June 19th Public Hearing is opened and testimony from members of the public accepted, City
Council may choose to:
1. Close the hearing and take action; or
2. Close the hearing and defer action until the close of the Budget Adoption Hearing on June 19th;
Unless written protests are filed by a majority of affected Water and Wastewater customers,
Council may vote on the proposed rate actions. If approved, the Water and Wastewater rates will
become effective July 1, 2023.
Dark Fiber and Storm Water rates, as well as Utility Financial Plans
The dark fiber and storm drainage rates will be considered at the June 19, 2023 public hearing. Should the
City Council take action to approve any or all of these rates, they will become effective July 1, 2023. The
City Council will also consider changes to Financial Plans and/or Reserve Management Policies for the
Wastewater Collection and Water utilities, and should the Council take action to approve any or all of
these plans and/or policies, they will also become effective July 1, 2023.
Additionally, for the water commodity pass-through rate, SFPUC voted to increase the wholesale water
rate to $5.21 per CCF effective July 1, 2023. Staff provided Palo Alto customers with notice of the
wholesale rate increase and will pass-through the increase.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
Utility fund resource impacts of the recommendations summarized in this report include the continued
financial solvency of the various utilities through the revenue increases described below. Following are
the estimated FY 2024 revenue impacts of the recommendations in this report:
• Staff projects estimated revenue for the Water Utility in FY 2024 to increase by $2.5 million or 5%
compared to FY 2023 levels. This estimate includes the SFPUC wholesale rate increase of 9.7%.
• For Wastewater Collection, staff projects revenues in FY 2024 to increase by approximately $1.8
million or 9% compared to FY 2023 levels because of the proposed rate changes.
• The proposed 4.9% fee increase is expected to increase FY 2024 revenue to the Storm Water
Management Fund by approximately $0.4 million.
• The Dark Fiber rate increase is the CPI index of 4.9% for rate schedules EDF-1 and EDF-2. Staff
expects this to increase FY 2024 revenue for Dark Fiber by approximately $0.03 million. For those
on the EDF-3 rate, there is no increase.
The recommendations summarized in this report are reflected in the FY 2024 Proposed Operating Budget
except for the Water Utility, which will require revenue and expense adjustments to align with the final
SFPUC wholesale rate increase, as that information was not available at the time the budget was
produced. Staff will bring these water adjustments forward for Council consideration through the annual
budget process.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
Policy Implications related to the proposed Wastewater Collection, Water, and Storm Water
Management fee rate actions are detailed fully in the linked Finance Committee reports. There are no
policy changes contained in the adoption of the proposed new Dark Fiber rates.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Adoption of the referenced Financial Plans and budgeted transfers does not meet the California
Environmental Quality Act’s definition of a project, pursuant to 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. Adoption of the proposed Wastewater Collection, Water, Storm
Water Management fee, and Dark Fiber rates to meet operating expenses, purchase supplies and
materials, meet financial reserve needs and obtain funds for capital improvements necessary to maintain
service is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to California Public
Resources Code Sec. 21080(b)(8) and CEQA Guidelines Section 15273(a). After reviewing the staff report
and all referenced financial plans, rate schedules, and resolutions presented to Council, the 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.

Resolution of the Council of the City of Palo Alto Amending Utility
Rate Schedule D-1 (Storm and Surface Water Drainage) to
Increase Storm Water Management Fee Rates by 4.9% Per Month
Per Equivalent Residential Unit for Fiscal Year 2024
A. In April 2017, a majority of property owners approved a ballot measure adopting a
monthly Storm Water Management Fee to fund storm drain capital improvements
projects, enhanced maintenance of the storm drain system, storm water quality
protection programs, and related activities.
B. The ballot measure allowed for annual increases to the fee based on lesser of the
local rate of inflation (based on changes to the Consumer Price Index for the San
Francisco-Oakland-San Jose region as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics) or 6%.
C. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Consumer Price Index for the San
Francisco-Oakland-San Jose region increased by 4.9% between December 2021 and
December 2022.
The Council of the City of Palo Alto RESOLVES as follows:
SECTION 1. Pursuant to Section 12.20.010 of the Palo Alto Municipal Code, Utility Rate
Schedule D-1 (Storm and Surface Water Drainage) is hereby amended to read in accordance with
sheet D-1-1, attached hereto and incorporated herein. The foregoing Utility Rate Schedule, as
amended, shall become effective July 1, 2023.
SECTION 2. The Council finds that this rate increase is being imposed to offset the effects
of inflation on labor and material costs pursuant to the annual inflationary fee escalator
provision of the Storm Water Management Fee ballot measure, which was approved by a
majority of Palo Alto property owners on April 11, 2017.
SECTION 3. The Council finds that the revenue derived from the authorized adoption
enumerated herein shall be used only for the purpose set forth in Article VII, Section 2, of the
Charter of the City of Palo Alto.

TITLE
Approval of an Agreement Between Santa Clara Valley Water District and the City of Palo Alto
for Administration and Funding of Water Conservation and Stormwater Rebate Programs and
Advanced Metering Infrastructure for a Total Not-To-Exceed Amount of $1,575,000 Over a
Seven-Year Term Ending June 30, 2030 ( This is not a project and therefore is exempt from
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA))
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Palo Alto City Council:
1) Approve and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the agreement between
Santa Clara Valley Water District (Valley Water) and the City of Palo Alto for
administration and funding of Water Conservation and Stormwater Rebate Programs and
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (Agreement), comprised of the City contribution of
$1,400,000 for water conservation programs and $175,000 for stormwater programs over
the seven-year contract term ending June 30, 2030, for a total-not-to-exceed amount of
$1,575,000; and
2) Authorize the City Manager or designee to adjust the reimbursement amounts for the
Programs, so long as the City’s total contribution does not exceed $1,400,000 for water
conservation programs and $175,000 for stormwater programs over the seven-year
contract term ending June 30, 2030.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Agreement with Valley Water for a new seven-
year term allowing Valley Water and the City to administer a variety of water conservation
programs including Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and allow the City to match
funding for rebate programs, effectively increasing incentives for Palo Alto residents and
businesses to reduce water use. The Rain Barrel Distribution Events, AMI, and the Water Use
Reports are administered by the City, and Valley Water will pay up to $1,435,000 to help
fund these programs.
Item 31
Item 31 Staff Report
Item 31: Staff Report Pg. 1 Packet Pg. 391 of 911
To achieve state and local water conservation and efficiency objectives, the City of Palo Alto
Utilities (CPAU) partners with Valley Water to offer a suite of conservation programs and
services to Palo Alto’s water customers. Valley Water offers the programs in the City’s
service area, and the City adds funding to some of the programs. This partnership enables
Palo Alto to receive more benefits and cost savings than would be achieved through self-
administered water efficiency programs. The new agreement will replace the existing
Agreement governing these programs to allow the City to receive funding from Valley Water
for AMI.
BACKGROUND
State requirements and Council policies have resulted in aggressive water reduction goals
which are largely achieved through conservation and efficiency programs. Valley Water and
Palo Alto use innovative technologies and cost-effective programs to best utilize the annual
water conservation operating budget.
The guiding document for water utility efficiency goals is the Urban Water Management Plan
(UWMP) (Staff Report #12025)1. The UWMP is updated every five years and outlines the long-
term supply and demand-side issues and policies impacting the water utility. The UWMP also
details the measures CPAU will take to reach its water reduction goals, through a series of
Demand Management Measures.
For over a decade Valley Water has delivered water conservation programs to residents and
businesses throughout Santa Clara County. Valley Water and the City co-fund various programs
and partner to promote residential and commercial sanitary fixtures, free conservation devices,
indoor and outdoor water efficiency surveys, irrigation hardware upgrades, and residential
educational workshops. Marketing for all water conservation programs is shared between
Valley Water and the City. Implementation and administrative functions for these programs
(e.g., scheduling, budget tracking and invoicing, contractor oversight, customer service, and
project reporting associated with program implementation) is managed by City and/or Valley
Water staff, depending on the program. The most recent agreement was approved by Council
on June 20, 2022 (Staff Report #14384)2, for the delivery of water conservation and efficiency
programs to the Palo Alto residents and businesses. This new agreement expands on the prior
one to incorporate AMI programs.
On October 18, 2021, Council approved the AMI project with Sensus for the citywide AMI
installation system (Staff Report #13665)3. The new and upgraded AMI water meters will be able
to provide near-real time data on water consumption. When the AMI system becomes fully

operational, residents and businesses will be able to monitor ongoing water consumption data
and be alerted about possible water leaks from high flow.
ANALYSIS
There is a need for a new agreement because the 2022 Agreement did not include funding from
Valley Water for AMI. Cost-sharing for other water conservation programs remains the same.
Under this Agreement, most rebates will continue to be funded by Valley Water, with the City
matching payments to customers for some programs. Palo Alto residents and businesses will be
eligible to receive higher incentives than those from other water retailers in Santa Clara County
for retrofits such as high-water use landscape conversion and custom facility process
improvements for water efficiency. Mobile home parks and condominium complexes in Palo Alto
will receive increased incentives for adding residential submeters. Rebates for laundry-to-
landscape gray water systems will provide a financial incentive to residents to reduce potable
water landscape irrigation. The Landscape Replacement Program provides rebates for residential
and commercial customers to replace high water use landscapes with low water use landscape,
and the rebate will be greater in Palo Alto due to the City’s contribution. Likewise, cost sharing
will be implemented for rain barrels, cisterns, graywater systems, and rain gardens, all of which
reduce reliance on potable water while keeping pollution out of the stormwater system and,
thus, the San Francisco Bay.
Tables A-1, A-2 and A-3 summarize the proposed Agreement costs and reflect funding for the
cost-sharing rebate amounts for the programs. Palo Alto will match Valley Water-funded
rebates for landscape conversion rebates, graywater systems, submeters, rain barrels,
cisterns, and rain gardens resulting in higher incentives for the Palo Alto community.

Valley Water provides access to their online application portal to City of Palo Alto residents and
businesses for all the programs listed above. Valley Water administers rebates for the programs
listed in Table A-1 and A-2 on behalf of both agencies and then invoices the City. The City will
administer rebates for the discounts on any rain barrels, cisterns or rain gardens (listed in Table
A-3), and then invoice Valley Water. These discounts are offered at Rain Barrel Distribution
Events which may occur yearly or biannually.
CPAU staff also administers several water conservation programs in-house. CPAU’s Water
Reports provide information to residents including water use and tips and programs to improve
water efficiency. CPAU’s AMI program will be able to provide near-real time data on water
consumption and alert residents of possible leaks. Valley Water will pay the City up to $1,435,000
to help fund the City’s AMI and Water Use Reports program, and Rain Barrel Distribution
program.
To ensure continued and aggressive water conservation efforts, staff recommends Council
approve the proposed Agreement with a maximum City funding obligation total of $225,000 per
year and $1,575,000 over the seven-year term. The additional funding will ensure continued
momentum of the eight water efficiency programs administered by Valley Water and City though
June 30, 2030. Table 2 shows funding amounts for the seven years of the proposed Agreement
by department budget.

FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
Palo Alto will match Valley Water-funded rebates for landscape conversion rebates,
graywater systems, submeters, rain barrels, cisterns, and rain gardens resulting in higher
incentives for the Palo Alto community.
- Rebates for landscape conversion rebates, graywater systems, and submeters
programs will be funded from the Utilities Department budget while rebates for the
remaining programs will be funded by the City’s Stormwater Management Fee for the
first year of the contract subject to the approval of the FY 2024 Proposed Operating
budget. Funding for FY 2025 and beyond is subject to City Council approval of the annual
appropriation of funds through the annual budget process.
- Valley Water will pay the City up to $1,435,000 to help fund the City’s AMI and
Water Use Reports program, and Rain Barrel Distribution program.
Implementation of the proposed conservation programs will slightly reduce the City’s water
consumption, and thus reduce water revenues to the Utility but will reduce water supply costs
by a greater amount, reducing overall costs to the community. These water efficiency programs
are expected to be cost-effective, meaning the cost of implementation will be lower than the
water supply cost.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
The proposed Agreement continues funding for water efficiency programs consistent with the
2020 Urban Water Management Plan (Staff Report #12025)4, the Utilities Strategic Plan, and the
City’s Sustainability and Climate Action Plan Goals and Key Draft Sustainability and Climate Action
Plan Goals and Key Actions5. Stormwater-related programs support implementation of the Green
Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) Plan accepted by Council in May 2019 (Staff Report #9883)6.

In December 2018, the SWRCB adopted amendments to the Water Quality Control Plan for the
San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Estuary (Bay Delta Plan Amendment) to
establish water quality objectives to maintain the health of the Bay Delta ecosystem. Palo Alto
Council expressed support for the Bay Delta Plan Amendment in its August 20, 2018 vote7. Water
conservation programs are an important means for Palo Alto to reduce its dependence on the
Tuolumne River.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Palo Alto and Valley Water both actively market these programs though their websites, at
community events, via bill inserts, other social media and newsletters.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Approval of the proposed Agreement does not meet the definition of a project pursuant to
Section 21065 of the California Public Resources Code, thus no environmental review under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is required and is categorically exempt from CEQA
under Public Resources Code Sections 15307 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of
Natural Resources) and 15308 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the
Environment). Valley Water is the lead agency with respect to Water Conservation and
Stormwater programs covered by the Agreement. The City’s implementation and use of AMI
water meters is categorically exempt under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines section 15301(b) as a Project involving minor alteration of existing public utilities
facilities and equipment.

AMI AND WATER USE REPORT PROGRAM CRITERIA
2023
Valley Water offers a cost sharing program for Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) meters and
Water Use Reports, as described below. This cost sharing program is intended for both residential, and
commercial, institutional, or industrial (CII) sites. Water use reports are intended for residential
customers at a minimum but expansion to CII is encouraged.
General Administrative Requirements:
1. Water retailers must provide documentation of the total number of meters (AMI and non-AMI)
by account type (e.g., single-family residential, commercial, etc.) in the service area. Water
retailers must include in the documentation:
a. a description of the retailer’s account types, and
b. how they will provide Valley Water accurate and up-to-date meter counts once per fiscal
year.
2. Water retailers must provide an approximate implementation plan for AMI deployment, including
the anticipated schedule. An implementation plan could include relevant excerpts from planning
documents such as Water Supply Master Plans, Urban Water Management Plans, etc.
3. Provide customers with Water Use Reports to provide a detailed and relevant account of their
water usage. Water Use Reports must be sent to residential customers and are encouraged for
CII customers. Water Use Reports may differ between water retailers, but there are some
required criteria, as described below:
a. Their water usage history covering at least the most recent reporting and/or billing
period;
b. A specific water-use comparison between the target property and water usage to similar
properties in their service area;
c. Programmatic and behavioral recommendations to save water that are relevant to the
property;
d. Easy access to an online water usage portal; and
e. Usage/leak alerts using industry best practices.
4. Water retailers must provide Valley Water with leak alert thresholds and report templates at
least once per fiscal year unless no template changes occurred. The provision of other
examples of program-related messaging (mailers and water-saving recommendations) is
encouraged.
5. General administrative requirements affecting Water Use Reports, leak alert notifications, and
leak alert thresholds may be adjusted for the purposes of conducting experiments to quantify
water savings within specific service areas. Adjustments for this provision require written
agreement between Valley Water and the water retailer. These adjustments are limited to a not-
to-exceed period of 24 months.
There are two options for water retailers to cost share with Valley Water on the AMI and Water Use
Report Program (water retailers may only choose one option). Each option will have an annual not-to-
exceed cap relative to the full term of the agreement, and a budget for the full term of the agreement
based on the number of qualifying meters. Valley Water funding will be available as Valley Water’s
budget allows, which is subject to annual Board approval (approximately every Spring). Please inform
Valley Water of intent to participate in the program as soon as possible.

OPTION 1: AMI Conversion Combined with Water Use Reports1
Valley Water will rebate $10 per AMI conversion currently in operation annually for the next seven
years and will fund 50 percent of the cost of the software linked to AMI, up to $2.25 per connection per
year, when combined with Water Use Reports. Valley Water’s funding may be used for either capital
and/or operations and maintenance costs. Funding for this option in years 2 through 7 will be
contingent upon documentation of water savings achieved in the previous year(s).
Requirements for Option 1:
1. AMI meters eligible for funding must have been active for seven years or less;
2. AMI meters must be read at a minimum of once an hour;
3. AMI meters must be linked to a customer-accessible water usage portal with online access;
4. AMI Alerts:
a. Data on leak and high usage alerts by account and zip code are required for the most
recent invoicing period. In lieu of identifying leaks by account number, a unique-identifier
system for each record in the dataset can instead be provided to aid Valley Water with
long-term data querying and tracking.
b. Leak alert settings for continuous leaks must not exceed 5 gallons per hour for single-
family residential accounts with a duration not to exceed 72 hours; and duration of burst
leaks is not to exceed 8 hours. Depending on metering technology advancements, these
thresholds can be adjusted with mutual agreement between Valley Water and retailers.c.Leak alert settings (volume and duration thresholds) for continuous leaks or spikes in
water use on CII properties must be set by the utility using industry best practices2
d. Utilities must have a plan in place for contacting customers with large leaks3 who cannot
be contacted through standard procedures (letters, emails, SMS, or phone calls).
Retailers must have a process in place to contact customers whose irrigation does not
comply with local restrictions.
5. If Water Use Reports through the online portal are optional, the water retailers shall provide an
opt-out option, as opposed to requiring opt-in sign-ups to access Water Use Reports;
6. Water Use Reports must be sent out a minimum of four times per year indicated clearly in
supporting documentation (Item 7);
7. Water retailers must coordinate with Valley Water to promote Valley Water’s conservation
programs through Water Use Reports;
8. Water retailers must provide to Valley Water the number of Water Use Reports sent, number of
sites Water Use Reports were sent to, number of leak alerts sent, estimated leak volumes and
duration, and estimated water savings associated with leak alerts. Data must be sent semi-
annually, broken down by utility billing period, provide dates and durations of every leak alert,
and include a total water savings estimate based on volume and duration of identified leaks. A
data template may be provided by Valley Water.
a. Providing Valley Water access to an aggregated dashboard with the above content is
preferred over reports or Excel files. Excel files are acceptable.
1 If a water retailer has previously received funding from Valley Water for AMI conversions, those conversions will not be eligible for
additional funding.
2 Individual customers may modify their individual use baseline and reset their notifications at their discretion. CII water use is
more varied, making it more complex to analyze and making leaks harder to identify. Water retailers may choose to rely on long-
term usage averages and multiples thereof to assess CII leak alert notifications and thresholds. CII leak alert notifications and
thresholds should align with current industry best practices as demonstrated by primary research or applicable case studies.
Custom CII leak alert notifications and thresholds should be provided to Valley Water in the water retailer’s supporting
documentation.
3 “Large leaks” may be defined by the water retailer and defined in supporting documentation the water retailer provides Valley
Water.

Report #:2304-1236
TITLE
Approval of a Blanket Purchase Order with Graniterock Company for the purchase of Sand,
Rock, and Cutback-Cold Mix Asphalt Materials for the Public Works and Utilities Departments
for a three-year term ending June 30, 2026; CEQA – Not a Project
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council authorize the City Manager or their designee to execute a
blanket purchase order with Graniterock Company for Sand, Rock, and Cutback-Cold Mix
Asphalt Materials in the not-to-exceed amount of $315,075 for Fiscal Year 2024, $327,575 for
Fiscal Year 2025 and $340,075 for Fiscal Year 2026, for a total not-to-exceed amount of
$982,725 over a three-year term from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026.
BACKGROUND
Both the Public Works and Utilities Departments use Sand, Rock and Cutback-Cold Mix Asphalt
regularly. Public Works uses for these materials include installing new sidewalks and/or
replacing damaged sidewalks, patching potholes, and creating temporary ramps around metal
plates located within the roadway. Utilities uses for these materials include pipe bedding and
backfill of wastewater, gas, and water infrastructure. Utilities typically uses Cold Mix-Cut Back
for temporarily backfilling trenches and ramping up metal plates. Hot Mix Asphalt, which is
supplied through a separate blanket purchase order, is typically used for permanent trench
restoration and roadway resurfacing.
ANALYSIS
Sand, Rock and Asphalt are essential for the Utilities and Public Works Departments to perform
their day-to-day operations and enhancement projects. Without the use of these materials
neither department would be able to fulfill the Public Works and Utilities Standards
requirements (WGW-02, WGW-02B, PW Standards 4040 and 405) to replace sidewalks, bed
pipes, and backfill various utility infrastructures.
Item 32
Item 32 Staff Report
Item 32: Staff Report Pg. 1 Packet Pg. 409 of 911
A Request for Quotation (RFQ) for Sand, Rock, and Cutback-Cold Mix Asphalt was sent to three
potential vendors and posted on Planet Bids. Quotes were received from Graniterock Company
(Graniterock) and two other bidders. One of the bidders was deemed non-responsive because
they were unable to provide all the materials requested in the Scope of Work. Graniterock met
all the requirements and was the lowest responsible bidder.

Under the recommended blanket purchase order, the cost of materials has increased by
approximately 28% compared to the rates for Fiscal Year 2023. This price increase is attributed
to inflation and the overall rise of cost in commodities. Table 2 displays the existing pricing for
Fiscal Year 2023 in comparison to the bid price for Fiscal Year 2024.

Staff recommends that Council approve and authorize the blanket purchase order for materials
with Graniterock as the primary supplier. The City has had previous blanket purchase orders
with Graniterock, and staff has consistently received product that met both the State of
California and the City’s standards.

Item 32: Staff Report Pg. 2 Packet Pg. 410 of 911
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
Staff recommends that Council approve the not-to-exceed amount of $315,075 for Fiscal Year
2024; however, actual spending is dictated entirely by need and will be controlled by each
department. Funding for the first year of this contract is included in the Fiscal Year 2024
budget, and execution of the recommended blanket purchase order is contingent on Council
approval and adoption of the Fiscal Year 2024 budget. The bid table1 that Graniterock
submitted represents a menu of available products with unit pricing that are required to install
and repair sidewalks, pipe bedding, and backfill of wastewater, gas, and water infrastructure.
The Public Works and Utilities Departments estimate an annual need of $50,000 and $260,000,
respectively. Staffing levels and planned work deferments may impact those estimates and will
be considered before expending the funds. Funding for contract years two and three is
contingent upon Council approval of each department’s budget for each subsequent year.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Stakeholder engagement for the recommended blanket order was limited to the procurement
process for reaching out to prospective bidders.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Approval of the recommended blanket purchase order is not a project under the California
Environmental Quality Act.

e.Telephone Users Tax (TUT)
3.Property tax analysis, information, and reporting services
The three proposals were evaluated based on criteria outlined in the RFP. Staff recommends
awarding services to two of the three consulting firms that submitted proposals: MuniServices,
LLC for services described in one and two listed above. Staff recommends awarding property
tax analysis to HdL Coren & Cone (HdL CC) (task three listed above).
Completion and recommended selection of consulting resources to administer the new
Business Tax was a key variable in determining staffing resource needs to administer this new
revenue. With the completion and recommended selection of a service provider, staff also
recommends approval of funding for the equivalent of two positions (2.0 FTE) to support the
administration of the new tax in collaboration with the consulting support. Resources to fund
consulting services and internal staff resources are included in the June 19, 2023 City Manager
Report, Adoption of the FY 2024 Operating and Capital Budgets staff report (CMR 2303-1162).
BACKGROUND
MuniServices is the current consultant for sales and use tax audit and information services and
BRC, BID, TOT and TUT administration, report, and audit services. The firm was selected based
on a competitive solicitation process conducted in 2019 and agreements were approved by
Council on December 2, 20191. The existing contract with MuniServices expires December 2,
2024, however staff issued the RFP in advance acknowledging implementation of the BT will
begin summer 2023 for the first collection in January 2024.
Property tax analysis and reporting services is currently performed by HdL CC, who was the only
firm to submit a proposal for these services. The initial contract with HdL CC began in 2019 and
was recently extended2 to continue services during the timeframe the RFP was issued. HdL CC
has provided valuable information and insight beyond reports provided by the County that
assists staff with forecasting property tax and documentary transfer tax revenues.
Below are brief descriptions of the analysis, reporting, and tax administrative services provided:
Sales and Use Tax Analysis, Information, and Reporting Services: Quarterly sales and use tax
reports from the City’s sales tax consultant provide revenue projections that are used regular
revenue monitoring activities, the City’s Long Range Financial Forecast (LRFF), and in the City’s
annual budget process. Briefings and analysis from the sales tax consultant include information
from the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA), the state agency that
administers sales and use tax, of sales and use tax revenue performance; top revenue
producers by economic segment and/or geographical area; trend analysis; revenue projections;

identification of major businesses that influence change in the City’s tax revenue; and an
analysis of potential growth or decline shifts in local, state, and national economy; and
legislature related to sales and use tax. In addition, sales and use tax audit and discovery efforts
are included in this package of services; approximately $0.5 million in sales tax revenue has
been recovered since 2019.
Tax and Fee Administration, Reporting and Audit Services (BT, BRC, BID, TOT, and TUT): These
services assist with streamline the administration and collection of taxes and assessment fees.
Collection, reporting, and payment remittance for these taxes and fees are done online through
the City’s website. This contract includes audit and discovery to achieve improved assurance
that these taxes and fees are accurate and complete. The scope, work plan, and fees for these
services, which includes up front costs for configuration and roll out of the new BT, can be
found in the attached draft contract.
Property Tax Analysis, Information, and Reporting Services: Information provided by the City’s
property tax consultant is used with data provided by the County of Santa Clara to provide
insight into real estate activity occurring in the City. Additional informational reports can be
provided on an ad hoc basis to support special projects or requests. Examples of such reporting
needs include parcel tax or general obligation (GO) bond modeling; LRFF development; the
annual budget process; and other special projects in the Treasury, Debt, and Investments
Division. Parcel information used for the BT is a recent example of a special project.
ANALYSIS
Procurement Process
An RFP was issued on February 9, 2023 for tax and fee consulting services and was structured to
allow award to multiple firms. Proposals were due by March 2nd and the City received three
proposals. Table 1 outlines a summary of the RFP process:

/bo/bo-detail/1020654
A committee was formed that included staff from the Treasury Division and Revenue
Collections Divisions in ASD, the Information Technology Department and the City Manager's
Office to evaluate the three proposals submitted to the City, based on criteria outlined in the
RFP. Proposals were first evaluated and then an interview and demonstration of each firms
platform was conducted. The heaviest weighed criteria were quality of the proposal,
effectiveness of services and website portal, and firm experience. Based on the evaluation
committee review, MuniServices and HdL CC were selected. Both MuniServices and HdL CC
were the firms who submitted the lowest cost proposals for the services offered by the firm.
Table 2 compares fees for the new contract and previous contract with MuniServices; changes
are noted in bold/italic. The new five-year contract with Avenu totals $1,161,550 (includes
$50,000 of additional services), a $461,550 increase compared to the previous contract, driven
primarily by fees for collection and administration of the business tax. The one-time set up fee
for the business tax is $30,000. Ongoing costs will be an annual flat fee of $10,000, with a $13
per participant annual fee (increased annually by CPI). The per participant cost over five years
totals $668,050, which ranges between $120,000 and $147,000 annually, assuming the
maximum 5% CPI adjustment. Estimated generated revenue for the business tax assumed 1,210
commercial properties in the City. There are approximately 1,600 businesses in the BRC and
approximately 7,000 sales tax payors. The annual participant cost was calculated assuming
9,300 business tax and fee participants within the City (25% above the number of sales tax
payors) to account for business that are subject to the business tax but do not pay sales tax.
This count of businesses will be refined after the first year of collection.

Staff Resources
Modifying the BRC portal for the business tax is planned for summer 2023, in anticipation that
the portal will be available for taxpayers to register in fall 2023. The implementation calendar
can be found on the City’s website5. Collection and administration of the business tax portal will
be done by MuniServices, however staff resources are required to manage the program. These
functions include overseeing collection, reporting, and auditing functions performed by the
consultant; in-house tax administrator support (as defined by the business tax ordinance); tax
analysis and review beyond the consultant’s scope of work; and customer service and support
for the City’s business community. Staff recommends the addition of one full-time
Management Analyst position and one full-time Accounting Specialist (approximately $186,000
and $124,000 ongoing salary and benefit costs, respectively), totaling $310,000. Staff
recommends that the salary and benefit costs totaling $232,500 be added to the FY 2024
Adopted Budget. A formal action to adjust the Table of Organization will be forth coming in a
future budget process as staff continue to assess needs through the implementation process
versus ongoing administration. Adjustments to the FY 2024 budget for staff resources is
included the budget adoption staff report, presented to City Council on June 19, 2023 (CMR
2303-1162).
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
During the development of the business tax, preliminary administrative cost estimates ranged
between $0.5 million to $1.0 million. As noted in the FY 2024 Proposed Operating Budget

Transmittal Letter, Attachment C6, recommended resources were reviewed and staff presents
both revenues and resource needs via this report. The attached contract with MuniServices
results in economies of scale from integrating three programs (business registry, business
improvement district, and business tax) into one platform.
The cost to implement and begin collection of the business tax is estimated at $409,400
($176,900 in consultant costs and $232,500 in staff costs). These administrative costs are
partially offset by $50,000 already included in ASD’s budget for BRC collection and
administration; the net total appropriation is $359,400. Business tax revenue, net of
administrative expense, will be allocated each year as part of the City Council’s annual
budgeting process, per the Advisory Spending Guidelines for Business Tax Proceeds that were
adopted by Council on August 22, 20227.
The remainder of the consultant services (sales tax, TOT, TUT, and property tax services) are
included in the ASD budget.
Staff recommends adding two full time positions to support the business tax program, totaling
$310,000 in estimated ongoing costs. The $232,500 net appropriation assumes approximately
three months recruitment time. In FY 2024 overstrength staff will be funded through this
recommended action. Staffing adjustments to the Table of Organization will be formalized as
part of the budget process.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Staff worked closely with staff from ASD and the City Manager’s Office to evaluate and select
the two firms and recommended contract award for these services.

apply solely to the specific instance expressly stated. No single or partial exercise of any right or
remedy will preclude any other or further exercise of any right or remedy.

TOT Compliance Services
In addition to TOT administrative services, the goal of the TOT compliance services program is
to ensure successful, long-term compliance for lodging establishments that operate in the City. The
TOT inventory and compliance services cover traditional lodging properties (hotels, motels, inns)
and it does not cover online short-term rentals (such as Air BnB, VRBO, etc.). Should the City
seek inventory and compliance services for online short-term rental properties, there will need to
be an amendment to this contract pursuant to Section 27.4. This amendment would be at the City’s
sole and absolute discretion and the pricing, services, and terms of such an amendment will be
negotiated at a future date.
The TOT Compliance Services workplan and project schedule for the program are outlined below:
Analysis - Phase 1
1) Inventory. Establish a comprehensive inventory of all lodging properties subject to taxation
by the City and the database elements (public and private databases) needed to facilitate
further analysis to identify and locate lodging providers not properly registered with the
City and not appearing on the City rolls as TOT remitters.
2) Analysis. Analyze lodging provider “return information” to identify unusual or suspicious
reporting and/or activities that warrant further review.
3) Data collection. Conduct unobtrusive collection of information on each property, including
number of rooms, occupancy rate, transient and non-transient guests, exemptions,
property’s condition, business dynamics, etc.
4) Reporting. Provide a detailed analysis report to the City identifying lodging providers who
might require additional investigation or review to determine their compliance with the
City’s TOT ordinance and coordinate with the City to review the analysis report.
5) Identify Phase 2 reviews. Work with the City to develop a list of lodging providers subject
to a compliance review of lodging and tax records.

6) Deliverables. CONSULTANT will provide the City with a detailed analysis report
identifying lodging providers who might require additional investigation or review to
determine their compliance with the City’s TOT ordinance.
Audit and Compliance Review - Phase 2
1) Records. Provide the City with a detailed list of all records required from lodging providers,
together with a draft engagement announcement letter to be sent to each lodging provider.
2) Examine & Verify. Review records pertaining to TOT for each lodging provider selected
for a compliance review and verify the accuracy of filed TOT returns with daily and
monthly activity summaries.
a) Review a random sample of the daily and monthly summaries to determine if the daily
summaries reconcile to the monthly summaries.
b) If CONSULTANT believes such a review is necessary, review secondary and tertiary
documentation such as bank statements to verify that deposits reconcile with the
reported revenue on the TOT returns or other tax filings.
c) Review exempted revenue for proper supporting documentation.
3) Compliance Report. Submit and review with the City a compliance review report that
includes:
a) All review findings;
b) Documentation for each error/omission identified and confirmed by CONSULTANT
that is necessary to facilitate recovery of revenue due from lodging providers for prior
periods.
c) Draft notices of deficiency determination, commendation and warning letters as
applicable.
4) Findings. Assist the City in reviewing any matters submitted in extenuation and mitigation
by lodging providers in contesting a deficiency determination. Prepare and document any
changes to the compliance review findings and provide revised tax, interest or penalty
amounts due the City.
5) Consulting. During the term of this Agreement, provide up to ten (10) hours of additional
consulting time to assist the City in evaluating or implementing any of the proposed actions
suggested by the above report.
6) Deliverables. CONSULTANT will provide City staff with a detailed list of all records
required to be made available by lodging providers for the reviews, together with a draft
engagement announcement letter to be sent to each lodging provider. This Phase will
include:

shall be calculated based on the rate schedule attached as Exhibit C-1 up to the not to exceed
budget amount for each task set forth below.

the tasks or categories listed below, provided that the total compensation for the Services,
including any specified reimbursable expenses, and the total compensation for Additional Services
(if any, per Section 4 of the Agreement) do not exceed the amounts set forth in Section 4 of this
Agreement.
CONSULTANT agrees to complete all Services, any specified reimbursable expenses, and
Additional Services (if any, per Section 4), within this/these amount(s). Any work performed or
expenses incurred for which payment would result in a total exceeding the maximum amount of
compensation set forth in this Agreement shall be at no cost to the CITY.
Consumer Price Index Adjustments
Where noted in this Exhibit, the Consumer Price Index refers to the Consumer Price Index – All
Urban Consumers for San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward Area as reported by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. The initial CPI used for the first CPI adjustment will be the CPI for the month in which
the agreement is fully signed. The adjustments thereafter will be based on the CPI from December
of the prior calendar year. Each annual adjustment will not be less than two percent (2%) or greater
than five percent (5%).
Credit Card Processing Fee for Tax and Fee Collection Services
If the City opts to absorb the credit card processing fees charged by the credit card companies, the
CONSULTANT will withhold the exact processing fees charged by the credit card companies
when the CONSULTANT remits Business Tax, Business Registry, Business Improvement
District, Transient Occupancy Tax, and/or Telecommunication Users Tax revenue to the City. If
the City opts-out of absorbing this cost, a standard 3% processing fee will be directly paid by

• Setup fee to implement City’s new Business Tax: $15,000
o May increase to $30,000 depending on City requirements and will be determined
and mutually agreed upon between CITY and CONSULTANT as requirements
are finalized during implementation planning.
• Annual flat fee: $10,000
• $13.00 annual per participant fee, adjusted by CPI-U at the beginning of each calendar year
• For a customization beyond the standard offering and current processes, a mutually agreed
upon one-time set up fee may apply or a slightly higher per registry fee may apply. This
will be determined through more in-depth needs gathering from the City.
Included in the above compensation for Administration Services are:
• Incorporation/Merging of the Business Registry and Business Improvement District
database with the Business Tax
• Printing and Mailing costs (for notifications, registry issuance, etc.)
• Ongoing database management and back-up (business applicant information)
• Forms processing and funds disbursement (secure lockbox operation)
• Development and support of an on-line business registry filing and payment application.
Cost for Sending the Original Registry/Application to the City
The CONSULTANT archives all original registry certificate/applications. If the City wants a copy
of the original registry/application, a fee of $3.75 per business registry/application for the mailing
or faxing.
Delinquencies
Should the usual process of notifying businesses (2 additional notices and a follow-up phone call)
result in the non-payment of a business listed on the CONSULTANT’S online-hosted SaaS system
or the data sent to the CONSULTANT from the City, the account will then be considered a
delinquency. Delinquency processing involves another strongly worded notice and additional
phone calls. The account is then subject to the same fees as the LTC Discovery services listed
below.
Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) and Associated Penalties
If a business pays its Business Registry fee by check without sufficient funds, then a $25 NSF will
be charged to the business. If the NSF payment causes the Business Registry/BID payments to be
late, then the associated late penalties and interest will apply.
The CONSULTANT offers a variety of payment option to businesses seeking a Business Registry
Certificate. Some of these options incur additional fees and costs. The CONSULTANT
understands it is customary and reasonable for certain fees and charges to be absorbed by the
issuing party and others to be charged to the business applicant/remitter. The CONSULANT will
follow existing City policy in charging any applicable fees and charges to either the business
applicant/remitter or continue to allow the City to absorb those fees and charges.

collateral trust account maintained by the CONSUTLANT. The business applicants/remitters’

(typically on the 15th and by the last business day of each month) net of the CONSULTANT’S

resolve these issues. If the resolution results in City’s favor, the CONSULTANT shall refund the
applicable portion of the fee to City within 10 days of resolution.

Agreement.
The City shall have the right, at the City’s option, to elect not to proceed with recovery of any
identified deficiencies. Deficiencies which are uncollectible due to insolvency or dissolution of the
entity liable, or for deficiencies which are otherwise incapable of collection (e.g. statute of
limitations expiration or other legal defense) shall not be considered an “election” by the City for
the purposes of this Agreement. For deficiencies otherwise collectable but for which the City elects
not to collect, the City shall notify the CONSULTANT of its election not to pursue (“waive”)
collection of said deficiencies. The CONSULTANT shall be entitled to one-half (½) of the fee the
CONSULTANT would have been entitled to for the waived portion of the deficiency.

Compensation for providing Discovery Services shall be a contingency fee of thirty five percent
(35%) of the additional revenue received by the City from the services. The contingency fee shall

B. Sales and Use Tax Audit
The Sales and Use Tax Audit (SUTA) services will be provided for a fifteen percent (15%)
contingency fee for the tax revenues identified by the CONSULTANT and corrected by the
California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA). This fee applies to four (4)
quarters after the Date of Correction and all eligible prior quarters back to and including the three
(3) quarters prior to the Date of Knowledge quarter with a maximum of ten total quarters. As used
herein, the Date of Knowledge is the quarter during which the CONSULTANT notifies the
CDTFA of the existence of a misallocation. As used herein, the Date of Correction refers to the
quarter in which the taxpayer has correctly reported the local tax and the CDTFA distributes the
local tax properly to City based on the taxpayer’s reporting, together with any prior period
reallocations. For QDR Misallocations detected and corrected, the CONSULTANT’S
compensation will only include the quarters in which the misallocation actually occurred.
For clarification and to encourage communication and collaboration between the CONSULTANT
and the CITY, the CONSULTANT shall be entitled to full payment of all compensation as
provided herein even if any one or more of City, its personnel, agents, or representatives, or any
third party or parties provide(s) information to the CONSULTANT that assists or is used by the
CONSULTANT in the identification, detection, and correction of point-of-sale distribution errors
or the reporting and/or misallocation of revenue.
Completion of Services
Because the services performed by the CONSULTANT results in corrections of misallocations
and other revenue after cessation of services performed by the CONSULTANT for the City, the
City agrees that with regards to misallocations identified to the CDTFA whose Date of Knowledge
occurred during the CONSULTANT performance of services for the City or for other revenue
resulting from the CONSULTANT’S actions taken during the term of the Agreement, that the
City’s obligation to pay the CONSULTANT in accordance with the compensation language of the
Agreement will survive expiration or termination of the Agreement for any reason. Additionally,
notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, if the Agreement is terminated or expires,
the CONSULTANT will continue to pursue corrections of accounts identified during the term of
the Agreement that have not been corrected by the CDTFA as of the effective date of termination
or expiration. The period after termination during which the CONSULTANT is pursuing
correction of accounts identified before termination is referred to as the “completion period.” The
City will compensate the CONSULTANT in accordance with the compensation language of the
Agreement for corrected misallocations that result from the CONSULTANT efforts during the
completion period. The City will also take all necessary steps to allow the CONSULTANT to
continue to receive the required information from the SBE during this completion period.
Method of Payment
The Sales and Use Tax Audit Service is self-funding and entirely predicated and contingent upon
the CONSULTANT’S audit service producing new sales/use tax revenue that would not otherwise
have been realized by the City. The sales/use tax audit shall be paid by quarterly invoice, after the
City has received the revenue from the correction and the quarterly distribution report has verified
this receipt. Each invoice will include the business name, permit number, local allocation amount

upon receipt.
Task 3: Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) Administration and Reporting Services
A. Administration and Reporting Services
Transient Occupancy Tax administration services are available to the CITY for an annual cost of
$150 per lodging property, adjusted by CPI at the beginning of the calendar year. The annual cost
of $150 applies regardless of whether the lodging property is hotel or a short-term rental. The TOT
Administration Service will be invoiced to the City at the beginning of each contract year based
on the number of properties registered to report transient occupancy tax. Should new short-term
rental properties be added to the administration program during the year, these new properties will
be billed on a pro-rated annual basis from the time they join the program.
B. TOT Audit and Compliance Services
Upon mutual agreement between CITY and CONSULTANT, TOT audits can be provided for
hotel and lodging properties on a fixed fee basis. Our TOT audit services consist of two inter-
related audit phases. The Phase 1 review must be done first, and it must include all traditional
(hotels, motels, inns) lodging properties within the City. This service does not include TOT audit
and compliance services for online short-term rentals (Air Bnb, VRBO, etc.), as detailed in the
“TOT Compliance Services” section of Exhibit A (“Scope of Services”) of this Agreement. Phase
2 cannot proceed without a Phase 1 review first being completed. The City can determine the
number of Phase 2 audits that they wish for the CONSULTANT to complete (typically
CONSULTANT recommends roughly 33% of lodging properties for Phase 2 audit but it is up to
the City to determine the number).
Phase 1: Analysis
The City will pay the CONSULTANT a fixed fee of $800 per lodging property. This fee applies
to all lodging properties located in the City limits. The CONSULTANT will invoice this upon
delivery of the analysis report.
Phase 2: Audit and Compliance Review
The City will pay the CONSULTANT a fixed fee of $1,200 per lodging property reviewed unless
the City does not approve the list of lodging properties for Compliance Review within 90 days of
submission, in which the cost will increase to $1,400 per lodging property reviewed. The
CONSULTANT will invoice this upon delivery of the compliance report with payment to be made
within thirty-days (30) of receipt of invoice.
Based on our experiences, through review of lodging properties in the initial Discovery and Audit
Phase (Phase 1), our staff typically recommends approximately 33% of the lodging providers for
the Phase 2 Compliance Review.

City upon delivery of the final report to the City.
Typically for years two and three there will not be a need to audit every property within the statute.
The CONSULTANT will continue to monitor the lodging properties reporting and notify the City
of any anomaly and then charge $500 per property for any of those that require further compliance
review.
Should the City elect the full Phases 1 and 2 service for years two and three, the travel costs
reimbursement provisions above will apply, to be executed in writing per Section 27.4 of this
Agreement.
Task 4: Telecommunications Users Tax (TUT) Administrative and Reporting Services
A. Administration and Reporting Services
Telecommunications Users Tax (TUT) administration services are available to the City for a
monthly administration fee equal to $2.95 per filing transaction (typically one transaction per UUT
taxpayer per month), adjusted by CPI at the beginning of the calendar year. The Administration
Service will be invoiced to the City on a monthly basis and be based on the number of returns filed
in the month.
B. Utility User Tax City-Specific Compliance Review Audit
Upon mutual agreement of a suitable telecommunications utility for compliance review, the City
shall pay the CONSULTANT thirty percent (30%) of the additional revenues, including interest
and penalties, that has resulted from its City-specific compliance review activities. The
CONSULTANT will seek to recover or assist the City in recovering all revenue due the City from
prior periods, if any, and the CONSULTANT will receive 30% of any retroactive recovery. Said
30% also applies to the additional revenue received by the City for the first three years following
the correction of the error/omission. As used in this subsection, the term “additional revenues”
includes the value of any other services, credits, property of every kind or nature, or other
consideration received by the City in lieu of monetary payment.
Compensation is due and payable within thirty (30) days of the City’s receipt of the invoice. Any
amounts which remain unpaid after thirty (30) days shall accrue interest at a rate of one and one-
half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum amount permitted by law.

CYBERSECURITY TERMS AND CONDITIONS
In order to assure the privacy and security of the personal information of the City's customers and
people who do business with the City, including, without limitation, vendors, utility customers,
library patrons, and other individuals and companies, who are required to share such information
with the City, as a condition of receiving services from the City or selling goods and services to
the City, including, without limitation, the Software as a Service services provider (the
"Consultant") and its subcontractors, if any, including, without limitation, any Information
Technology ("IT") infrastructure services provider, shall design, install, provide, and maintain a
secure IT environment, described below, while it renders and performs the Services and furnishes
goods, if any, described in the Statement of Work, Exhibit B, to the extent any scope of work
implicates the confidentiality and privacy of the personal information of the City's customers. The
Consultant shall fulfill the data and information security requirements (the "Requirements") set
forth in Part A below.
A "secure IT environment" includes (a) the IT infrastructure, by which the Services are provided
to the City, including connection to the City's IT systems; (b) the Consultant's operations and
maintenance processes needed to support the environment, including disaster recovery and
business continuity planning; and (c) the IT infrastructure performance monitoring services to
ensure a secure and reliable environment and service availability to the City. "IT infrastructure"
refers to the integrated framework, including, without limitation, data centers, computers, and
database management devices, upon which digital networks operate.
In the event that, after the Effective Date, the Consultant reasonably determines that it cannot
fulfill the Requirements, the Consultant shall promptly inform the City of its determination and
submit, in writing, one or more alternate countermeasure options to the Requirements (the
"Alternate Requirements" as set forth in Part B), which may be accepted or rejected in the
reasonable satisfaction of the Information Security Manager (the "ISM").
Part A. Requirements:
The Consultant shall at all times during the term of any contract between the City and the
Consultant:
(a) Appoint or designate an employee, preferably an executive officer, as the security liaison
to the City with respect to the Services to be performed under this Agreement.
(b) Comply with the City's Information Privacy Policy:

performance of random site security audits at the Consultant's site(s), including the site(s)
of a third-party service provider(s), as applicable. The scope of these audits will extend to
the Consultant's and its third-party service provider(s)' awareness of security policies and
practices, systems configurations, access authentication and authorization, and incident
detection and response.
(q) Cooperate with the City to ensure that to the extent required by applicable laws, rules and
regulations, and the Confidential Information will be accessible only by the Consultant and
any authorized third-party service provider's personnel.

occupied parcels, identification of property ownership transfers and completed construction
projects for tracking of reassessments. The CONSULTANT will provide the following reports
annually, quarterly or monthly, as appropriate. Reports are also available from prior years if needed
and will be made available in pdf, Microsoft Word and Excel formats, as requested by City, for
use in staff presentations.
Reports in the portfolio of deliverables include but are not limited to:

One and five-year budget projections for the city general fund and special districts. This
report is interactive for tax modeling.
WEB-BASED SOFTWARE APPLICATION
The CONSULTANT shall make available for use its HDL Coren and Cone Property Tax Web
Application, a web-based software application that provides the City with a user-friendly tool to
store, search, access and analyze the City’s property tax data (also called the “software application”
or “software” in this Agreement. Data in the software application shall be updated monthly to
reflect changes in ownership and deed recordings. Assessment appeals data is updated quarterly.
As modifications and enhancements are made to the program, the City receives the enhanced
version of the software at no additional cost. The City is granted a site license for the software
application under this Agreement, which does not limit the number of users. The software can be
used to access secured, unsecured, cross reference, possessory interest, mineral rights and SBE
non-operating unitary tax rolls. Unsecured assessments are linked to the corresponding secured
parcels where parcel numbers match. This allows users to see all property tax records at a particular
location.
Geographic areas as defined by the City can be created in the software by City staff or, upon
supplying maps with the boundary area of each requested geo defined, will be created by the
CONSULTANT and are included in the cost of this scope of services. Additional areas can be
created at no cost as they become necessary.
Property transfer information is updated monthly and the prior sales transactions are stored with
each record for reference. Filtering is available for Pre-Proposition 13 owned properties, non-
owner occupied properties (absentee owners), specific focused uses, targeted values, and
selection of various other property characteristics. The data can be sorted by parcel number,
owner, situs address, county use code designation and tax rate area. Data can be exported from
the software to Excel, CSV, Text or Html to allow for further analysis through an easy-to-use
export feature. Custom exports are also available to link or integrate with city building or code
enforcement products.
Training will be provided annually at no additional cost to the City and CONSULTANT will
provide support for the City’s use of the software, answering questions, providing phone
assistance and troubleshooting issues that arise between scheduled training events at no
additional cost to the City.
The Services, where provided by CONSULTANT’s online-hosted software, include all related
services and support necessary to implement the Services detailed in this Scope of Services,
including, for example and without limitation, data/content migration, software licensing, online-
hosting, maintenance, updates, upgrades, security, and technical and user support as detailed in
this Scope of Services and elsewhere in this Agreement, in CONSULTANT’s proposal, and in
the Documentation.

PROPERTY TAX AUDITS
The CONSULTANT will perform an analysis of the Assessor Rolls to identify all parcels on the
secured, unsecured and cross reference tax rolls and verify that parcel assessed valuations and
the resulting taxes are correctly allocated to the City. This analysis is accomplished using
specialized computer software, assessor maps, City GIS maps, City records, other pertinent
documents, and field investigations. The review will include the lien date rolls noted for the
current tax year as well as historical data back for a total of four (4) tax years.
A report is prepared related to the properties requiring corrective action with a suggested tax rate
area (TRA) and/or correct address and APN and then transmitted to the County Assessor’s office
for review and correction and to the client City at the same time. Once the Assessor’s staff has
reviewed and corrected the misplaced TRAs, the County returns to our office an accounting of
the properties that were corrected and transmitted to the Auditor’s office for tax reassignment.
That report is then provided to the client as verification that corrections were made. If necessary,
we will review our findings and recommendations with designated City project manager.
ON-GOING CONSULTATION (ADDITIONAL SERVICES)
During the term of this Agreement, and constituting “Additional Services” under Section 1
(“Scope of Services”) of this Agreement, the CITY, at its sole discretion, may elect to order
additional services related to special projects beyond what is described in the Scope of Services.
Any such Additional Services are subject to the provisions of this Agreement including without
limitation Section 1 (“Scope of Services”), Section 4 (“Not to Exceed Compensation”) and
Exhibit C (“Compensation”).

In order to assure the privacy and security of the personal information of the City's customers and
people who do business with the City, including, without limitation, vendors, utility customers,
library patrons, and other individuals and companies, who are required to share such information
with the City, as a condition of receiving services from the City or selling goods and services to
the City, including, without limitation, the Software as a Service services provider (the
"Consultant") and its subcontractors, if any, including, without limitation, any Information
Technology ("IT") infrastructure services provider, shall design, install, provide, and maintain a
secure IT environment, described below, while it renders and performs the Services and furnishes
goods, if any, described in the Statement of Work, Exhibit B, to the extent any scope of work
implicates the confidentiality and privacy of the personal information of the City's customers. The
Consultant shall fulfill the data and information security requirements (the "Requirements") set
forth in Part A below.
A "secure IT environment" includes (a) the IT infrastructure, by which the Services are provided
to the City, including connection to the City's IT systems; (b) the Consultant's operations and
maintenance processes needed to support the environment, including disaster recovery and
business continuity planning; and (c) the IT infrastructure performance monitoring services to
ensure a secure and reliable environment and service availability to the City. "IT infrastructure"
refers to the integrated framework, including, without limitation, data centers, computers, and
database management devices, upon which digital networks operate.
In the event that, after the Effective Date, the Consultant reasonably determines that it cannot
fulfill the Requirements, the Consultant shall promptly inform the City of its determination and
submit, in writing, one or more alternate countermeasure options to the Requirements (the
"Alternate Requirements" as set forth in Part B), which may be accepted or rejected in the
reasonable satisfaction of the Information Security Manager (the "ISM").
Part A. Requirements:
The Consultant shall at all times during the term of any contract between the City and the
Consultant:
(a) Appoint or designate an employee, preferably an executive officer, as the security liaison
to the City with respect to the Services to be performed under this Agreement.

the Services' environment design and deployment are known to the City, and (2) it has
implemented measures in accordance with industry best practices applicable to secure
coding and secure IT architecture.

basis, and provide the required summary reports of those self-audits to the ISM on the
annual anniversary date or any other date agreed to by the Parties.
(p) Accommodate, as practicable, and upon reasonable prior notice by the City, the City's
performance of random site security audits at the Consultant's site(s), including the site(s)
of a third-party service provider(s), as applicable. The scope of these audits will extend to
the Consultant's and its third-party service provider(s)' awareness of security policies and
practices, systems configurations, access authentication and authorization, and incident
detection and response.

TITLE
Approval of Professional Services Contract with Kittelson & Associates for a Not-to-Exceed
Amount of $333,945 for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan Update. CEQA Status:
Exempt under Public Resources Code Section 21080.20.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve of Professional Services Contract (Contract C23185922) with Kittelson & Associates for
a Not-to-Exceed Amount of $333,945 for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan
Update.
BACKGROUND
The City adopted its existing Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan (BPTP) in 2012, and the
document needs a comprehensive update to reflect current community needs and desires,
more recent trends in cycling and bicycling technology, and to address changes in bicycle and
pedestrian planning and design. The objectives of the BPTP Update are to seek robust
community feedback; reevaluate implementation progress from previous plans to adjust
recommendations for new policies, facilities, and programs; and to determine appropriate
criteria and metrics to prioritize recommendations and network routes. The BPTP Update will
also further investigate safety data to propose impactful recommendations, explore the role of
emerging transportation technologies such as electric-bicycles and micro-mobility devices, and
establish big-picture planning to expand bicycling and walking for all user types in support of
the City’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the Sustainability/Climate Action Plan, a Safe Systems
approach, and other planning documents and policies.
At the May 17, 2021 meeting, the City Council adopted a resolution supporting the City’s grant
application for the State Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 Funds for the BPTP
Update project1, and on September 2021, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC)

Item 34: Staff Report Pg. 2 Packet Pg. 526 of 911
The City received three bids all under the proposed budget, and the evaluation committee
identified a preferred service provider based on the best overall score from the proposal and an
interview. Based on this approach, staff recommends contracting with Kittelson & Associates
who provided a comprehensive approach to the scope of work, demonstrated a clear
understanding of Palo Alto and its needs, proposed an innovative approach to engage the
community, has extensive experience working with Bay Area communities on developing active
transportation planning documents including the City of Berkeley, Dublin, and San Pablo, is
under budget, and is to provide exceptional project management.
The scope of work Kittelson & Associates proposed includes the following tasks, to be
completed within an 18–24-month process, beginning once the contract is executed,
anticipated for July 2023:
1. Prepare Detailed Work Plan and Strategy
2. Review Existing Bicycle and Pedestrian Policy and Program Documents
3. Inventory Existing Facility Conditions
4. Community Outreach
5. Bicycle and Pedestrian Network Enhancements
6. Implementation and Funding Strategies
7. Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Document
8. Project Management and Oversight
Community feedback regarding potential new bicycle/pedestrian rail crossings will be sought as
part of this contract and will occur at the beginning of the project in the context of optimizing
the City's bicycle and pedestrian networks.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
The BPTP Update will contain specific policy, project, and program recommendations, and will
aim to improve the quality of active transportation options, taking into consideration
community feedback, City priorities, more recent trends in cycling and bicycling, and available
funds.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
The cost proposal submitted by Kittelson & Associates for the BPTP Update is in the amount of
$333,945, including a 10 percent contingency. Sufficient funding for anticipated expenses is
available in the FY 2024 Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan Implementation project (PL-
04010) in the Capital Improvement Fund. The City is eligible to cover the BPTP Update
expenditures under TDA Article 3 and can request an allocation of up to $334,852 for this
effort, and City staff anticipates that all eligible costs incurred will be reimbursed through the
TDA Article 3 payment (reimbursement) process.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
The City provided the public procurement process through its eProcurement platform and
notified 1,862 firms to encourage participation. In addition, ten firms were contacted directly
by Procurement staff to announce availability of the Request for Proposals. Of those notified,
forty-three downloaded the proposal documents. This outreach garnered proposals from firms
who had not previously bid in Palo Alto. In addition, stakeholders were engaged through the
procurement process by including a member of the Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Committee
on the panel to evaluate vendor proposals and interviews.
Specific to the project, Kittelson & Associates developed a structured and robust community
engagement plan for the BPTP Update, dividing the community engagement into three phases:
1) Visioning; 2) Needs & Concerns; and 3) Recommended Projects and Programs. These phases
will help effectively and meaningfully engage the residents and visitors of Palo Alto. The
engagement activities are tailored towards the unique character of the community. At the
onset of the BPTP Update effort, Kittelson & Associates will develop a community engagement
plan that will explain how the project team will share information and gather input regarding
the needs and issues of the public, stakeholders, and interested parties. More specifically, the
BPTP Update includes the following meetings and events:
•PABAC & CSTSC Meetings
•Planning & Transportation Commission Meetings
•Rail Committee Meetings
•City Council Meetings
•Neighborhood and Focus Group Meetings
•Street Level Engagement
•Community Meetings
•Multi-Day Collaborative Work Sessions
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
California Senate Bill 922 (2022) exempts active transportation plans, such as bicycle
transportation plans like the BPTP Update from environmental review under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Meeting Date: June 19, 2023
Report #:2305-1525
TITLE
Approve and Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Grant Agreement with the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA) to Develop the Palo Alto Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Action Plan
by Receiving $160,000 in Federal Funds and Requiring $40,000 in City Matching Funds over Two
Years and Approve a FY 2024 Budget Amendment in the Capital Improvement Fund; CEQA
status – not a project.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council:
1. Approve and authorize the City Manager, or their designee to execute a Funding
Agreement (attached) with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for the
development of the City’s Safe Streets for All Streets for All action plan. The Agreement
will provide up $160,000 in funding, and the City will be required to match up to $40,000
(or 20% of the actual project cost) over two years; and
2. Amend the Fiscal Year 2024 Budget Appropriation for the Capital Improvement Fund
(requires a 2/3 vote) by:
a. Increasing the Transportation and Parking Improvements project (PL-12000) revenue
estimate for grants by $160,000; and
b. Increasing the Transportation and Parking Improvements project (PL-12000)
contracts appropriation by $160,000.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This item approves and authorizes the City Manager to execute a grant agreement (Attachment
A) to receive $160,000 in funding from the Federal Highway Administration to develop a Safe
Streets for All (SS4A) Action Plan for Palo Alto. The City is responsible for a 20% matching
portion of the total project cost ($40,000) that will be funded from the Transportation and
Item 35

Item 35: Staff Report Pg. 1 Packet Pg. 569 of 911
Parking Improvements capital project (PL-12000). Jurisdictions with SS4A Action Plans are
eligible to apply for SS4A Implementation Grants in subsequent funding cycles distributing $1
billion per year. The SS4A Action Plan will address safety for all road users in Palo Alto,
particularly vulnerable road users, and will use the Safe Systems Approach endorsed by Federal
Highway Administration.
BACKGROUND
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law1 (BIL) established the new Safe Streets and Roads for All
(SS4A) discretionary program with $5 billion in appropriated funds over 5 years. The SS4A
program funds regional, local, and Tribal initiatives through grants to prevent roadway deaths
and serious injuries. The SS4A program supports the U.S. Department of Transportation’s
National Roadway Safety Strategy2 and the goal of zero roadway deaths.
The SS4A program provides funding for two types of grants:
•Planning and Demonstration Grants provide Federal funds to develop, complete, or
supplement a comprehensive safety action plan. Having an Action Plan in place is the
foundation of the SS4A grant program. The goal of an Action Plan is to develop a
holistic, well-defined strategy to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries in a
locality, Tribe, or region.
•Implementation Grants provide Federal funds to implement projects and strategies
identified in an Action Plan to address a roadway safety problem. Projects and strategies
may be infrastructure, behavioral, and/or operational activities. Applicants must have a
qualifying Action Plan that meets the eligibility requirements to apply for
Implementation Grants.
The Federal Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) was released in May 2022, making available
$1 billion for distribution. The City applied for a grant on September 15, 2022, to develop a
Safety Action Plan for Palo Alto and was notified of grant award on January 31, 2023. The draft
grant agreement was received from the Federal Highway Administration on May 22, 2023. The
application was in alignment with FHWA’s Safe Systems Approach to road safety and Palo Alto
Comprehensive Plan Policy T-6.2 to reduce fatal and severe injuries on local roadways to zero.
ANALYSIS
This grant-funded project enables the City to develop the Safe Streets for All Action Plan
needed to apply for subsequent SS4A Implementation grants. Other Federal or State funding
sources requiring a comprehensive road safety plan will accept the SS4A Action Plan as well,
such as the State’s Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). In addition, the Safety Action
Plan could be used as the basis of a future Vision Zero program included in the Sustainability

and Climate Action Plan (S/CAP), because improving safety for vulnerable road users is key to
reducing vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and growing green travel mode shares.
The Valley Transportation Authority compiled a Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) for Palo Alto and
other Santa Clara County cities without LRSPs3 in September 2022. The SS4A grant project will
utilize this plan as a basis and will add the following Federally-required elements to create a
qualified Safety Action Plan:
•A target date for achieving a significant reduction of roadway fatalities and serious
injuries
•Engagement and collaboration with relevant stakeholders
•Equity considerations
•Policy and process changes to improve safety
•Strategy and Project Selections
•Measurement and reporting of progress over time
A list of all the required Action Plan components can be found here.4
In addition to supporting the Comprehensive Plan Policy to reduce roadway deaths and severe
injuries, this project is in alignment with the following Comprehensive Plan directives:
•Goal T-6: Provide a safe environment for motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists on Palo
Alto streets.
•Policy T-1.3: Reduce GHG and pollutant emissions associated with transportation by
reducing VMT and per-mile emissions through increasing transit options, supporting
biking and walking, and the use of zero-emission vehicle technologies to meet City and
State goals for GHG reductions by 2030.
•Policy T-6.1: Continue to make safety the first priority of citywide transportation
planning. Prioritize pedestrian, bicycle and automobile safety over motor vehicle level of
service at intersections and motor vehicle parking.
•Policy T-6.6: Use engineering, enforcement and educational tools to improve safety for
all users on City roadways.
•Program T6.6.1: Periodically evaluate safety on roadways and at intersections and
enhance conditions through the use of signal technology and physical changes. Consider
the construction of traffic circles for improved intersection safety.
•Policy T-6.7: Use appropriate technology to monitor and improve circulation safety
throughout the City.
•Program T6.7.1: Evaluate the performance of safety improvements and identify
methods to encourage alternative transportation modes.

Item 35 Staff Report
Item 35: Staff Report Pg. 3 Packet Pg. 571 of 911
Upon execution of the grant agreement (Attachment A), the City will prepare and publish a
Request for Proposal (RFP) document in Fall 2023 to hire a consultant to prepare the Safety
Action Plan. Staff will return to the Council in Winter 2024 for approval of the vendor contract.
Staff target initiation of the planning project by February 2024 or earlier. The City expects to
complete the project within 24 months from grant agreement execution, though SS4A funds
must be spent within five years of grant execution. Once the Safety Action Plan is substantially
complete or in draft form, the City can begin to apply for SS4A Implementation grants. An
adopted Safety Action Plan is required to receive an Implementation grant.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
Approval for the funding agreement with FHWA requires a budget amendment to increase the
Fiscal Year 2024 appropriation for the Transportation and Parking Improvements project (PL-
12000) by $160,000 and recognition of an increase to the revenue estimate for grants by
$160,000. The remaining expense of $40,000, the City’s 20% matching contribution, will be
covered by funding recommended in the FY 2024 Transportation and Parking Improvements
capital project (PL-12000).
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
As noted above, community engagement is a Federally-required element of any SS4A Safety
Action Plan. This is in contrast to traditional Local Road Safety Plans that do not require robust
community consultation. The City will engage the public in plan development through online
surveys, interactive mapping, in-person tabling at community events and activity centers, and
via the City’s communication channels. The City will leverage the Planning and Transportation
Commission, the Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Committee, and the City/School Traffic Safety
Committee, a historic partnership between City Departments, the Palo Alto School District, and
the Palo Alto Parent Teacher Association Council.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Council action on this item is not a project as defined by CEQA because the grant agreement
with the Federal Highway Administration is a government funding mechanism or fiscal activity
which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a
potentially significant physical impact on the environment. CEQA Guidelines section

roadway fatalities. The new Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) for Palo Alto found that for
fatal and severe injury motor vehicle collisions during 2015-2019, 25% of the collisions
involved bicycles, and 24% involved pedestrians. Of the total 555 bicycle- and
pedestrian-involved collisions that occurred in the study period, 416 involved a bicycle.

Ninety percent of these collisions occurred at an intersection. Community engagement
was limited, and equity considerations were absent in LRSP development, highlighting
the need for a robust SS4A Action Plan. The City will collaboratively enlist non-profits
and diverse stakeholders to work towards more equitable safety practices. Improving
roadway infrastructure will benefit the approximately 650 students from historically
disadvantaged census tracts in adjacent East Palo Alto who attend school in Palo Alto.
The City will engage the public in plan development through online surveys, interactive
mapping, in-person tabling at community events and activity centers, and via the City’s
communication channels. The City will leverage the Planning and Transportation
Commission, the Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Committee, and the City/School
Traffic Safety Committee, a historic partnership between City Departments, the Palo Alto
School District, and the Palo Alto Parent Teacher Association Council.

TITLE
Approval of Contract Number C23187284 with Michael Baker International (MBI) for a Not-to
Exceed Amount of $211,310 to Provide Administration and Consulting Services for the City’s
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program for a Term of Two-years Through June
2025. Environmental Assessment: Exempt in Accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section
15061(b)(3).
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
Approve and authorize the City Manager or their designee to execute Contract
C23187284 with Michael Baker International for a not-to exceed amount of $211,310 to
provide administration and consulting services for the City’s Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) Program for a term of two-years through June 2025, with the option
of a third-year renewal.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On February 15, 2023, a request for formal proposals (RFP) was posted on the PlanetBids Vendor
Portal for administration and consulting services for the City’s Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Program. The solicitation period was held for 20 days, with proposals due on March
7, 2023. The City received two proposals: 1) Michael Baker International (MBI) and 2) California
Consulting.
After a thorough review of the proposals, Michael Baker International was selected based on
their extensive CDBG-specific experience and overall quality and responses in their proposal. MBI
addressed all the requirements outlined in the RFP.
BACKGROUND
Since November 2021, the City has been relying on consultant services to administer the CDBG
program. Prior to this time, the City had a permanent part-time staff person fulfilling this role
Item 36
Item 36 Staff Report
Item 36: Staff Report Pg. 1 Packet Pg. 585 of 911
augmented with ongoing consultant support. Michael Baker International was assisting the City
prior to the departure of CDBG staff specialist, and the firm has continued to work and expanded
its scope to a comprehensive program management role. With the selection of MBI,
administration of the CDBG program will continue uninterrupted.
The term of the City’s current one-year contract with MBI will end June 30, 2023 and, in
anticipation of this, the City released an RFP for CDBG Administration in February 2023. The RFP
was for full CDBG program management for a two-year term with the option to renew for a third
year.
The Planning and Development Services Department does not have the experienced staffing
resources needed to fully manage the CDBG program. The CDBG program regulations and
requirements are complex and require a thorough understanding of federal regulations, program
guidelines, and reporting requirements. The consultant administering the program should be
able to ensure compliance with these requirements, manage the grant budget, and monitor the
progress of the funded projects. In addition, the consultant is expected to have knowledge of
best practices in community development, including affordable housing development, economic
development, and infrastructure improvements. Overall, administering the CDBG program
requires a combination of technical expertise and knowledge of community development
principles.
CDBG Program Summary
The CDBG program is a federal program that provides funding to local and state governments for
community development activities. The program was created by the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974 and is administered by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). The primary objective of the CDBG program is to provide affordable
housing, improve living conditions, and create economic opportunities for low- and moderate-
income households. The program provides grants to eligible communities to support a wide
range of activities, including infrastructure development, public facilities and services, and job
creation.
For more information about the City’s CDBG program and activities, please visit:
www.cityofpaloalto.org/cdbg.
ANALYSIS
The City needs consultant services to provide CDBG program administration assistance to
maintain and carry forward the program. Currently, the City does not have the appropriate
staffing resources to fulfill this role successfully. Approval of this contract will provide the City
with continuity of services for up to three years. During this fiscal year, the City engaged in
preliminary discussions to potentially transition the CDBG program administration to Santa Clara
County. In FY 2024, staff will continue to explore this option, and if it presents as a viable path
forward, staff will return to City Council for discussion.

PROCUREMENT PROCESS
A RFP for the project was posted on the PlanetBids, the City’s eProcurement platform, and 1,250
vendors were notified. The solicitation period was for 20 days and closed on March 7, 2023. Staff
received two proposals for evaluation.

Public Link to Solicitation
In the consultant selection process, a heavy emphasis was placed on expertise with CDBG
program administration as well as a breath of services. As noted above, the City relies on this
consultant to handle the complex federal regulations and requirements, program guidelines, and
reporting requirements to ensure compliance with annual funding allocations and grants. MBI’s
proposal met the evaluation criteria identified in the RFP and was identified as the best candidate
for assisting the City based on the criteria for experience with CDBG procedures and technical
expertise with CDBG program administration. Although the second proposal was significantly
lower in cost, it did not adequately address the specific needs outlined in RFP requirements, nor
did it demonstrate sufficient experience and knowledge in CDBG administration. Due to its
complexity, the program requires a depth of understanding and experience to successfully
adhere to the federal regulations and guidelines. Failure to meet strict requirements could result
in the City refunding the federal government using General Fund. MBI has established experience
with CDBG administration and submitted a comprehensive proposal that fully addressed service
requirements.
For additional details on the services to be provided by MBI, please see Attachment A.

FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
There are no anticipated impacts to the City’s general fund with the approval of this contract.
The administration of the CDBG program has historically been funded by the CDBG entitlement
grant. The contract with MBI will continue to be funded by the CDBG federal funding.
Staff will include funding for the second year and possibly the third year in the respective future
year’s budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The approval of an agreement for administrative and consulting services is not an action subject

Report #:2305-1568
TITLE
Approval of Amendment No. 1 to the Lease Agreement between the Palo Alto Unified School
District (PAUSD) (Landlord) and the City of Palo Alto (Tenant) for Extended Day Care Spaces for
an Initial 12-Month Term, Rent Not to Exceed $707,676 per Year; CEQA Status – Not a Project
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager or their designee to execute
the Amendment No. 1 to the Lease Agreement between the Palo Alto Unified School District
(PAUSD) and the City of Palo Alto (City) for Extended Day Care premises. Amendment No. 1
renews the term of the lease for an additional 12 months ending June 30, 2024 at the same base
annual rent of $707,676 and may be renewed for three additional one-year terms upon mutual
written agreement.
BACKGROUND
On June 20, 2022, the City Council approved a lease for elementary school sites from PAUSD to
sublease to providers of afterschool care (CMR: 144561). The current lease is scheduled to expire
on June 30, 2023. An amendment for the Extended Day Care sites has been negotiated to renew
the term for one year and provide options to renew for three additional one-year terms, not to
exceed 5 total years, upon the mutual written agreement of the parties.
The agreement with PAUSD to provide space for extended day care at elementary school sites
began in 1989 as a component of the parties’ lease agreement that also included a lease on the
former 35-acre Cubberley High School site and a Covenant Not to Develop five neighborhood
elementary school sites. The current agreement was amended several times before the current
standalone agreement for the 12 extended day care sites was executed on July 1, 2022. The

current agreement is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2023 and the parties desire to extend the
terms of the agreement to continue City-operated extended day childcare services provided by
Palo Alto Community Child Care (PACCC)2 and Kid’s Choice3.
ANALYSIS
Staff has negotiated an amendment to the lease agreement with PAUSD for the Extended Day
Care Sites under the same general terms as the current agreement (Attachment A). PAUSD is
accepting an amendment to allow for one-year extensions currently to align with their operating
agreements with the childcare providers. The amendment extends the expiration date to June
30, 2024 and provides the option for three additional one-year extensions, up to June 30, 2027,
exercisable upon ninety (90) day notice from either party and mutual agreement. All other the
terms of the lease remain the same. The base rent will remain $58,973 per month per site for an
annual total rent of $707,676. The City will continue to be responsible for minor maintenance
and utilities, estimated at approximately $4,000 per month per site for an approximate annual
total of $48,000. Otherwise, the terms remain the same.
TIMELINE
The lease agreement went to PAUSD’s Board on June 6, 2023 for an initial discussion and will be
presented again on June 20, 2023 for action. If approved, the amendment will commence on July
1, 2023. After the amendment is fully executed, staff will extend the City’s sublease to PACCC and
Kid’s Choice for the 2023 – 2024 school year, which does not require Council approval.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
The base rent for the new Extended Day Care lease will remain at $58,973 per month or $707,676
per year. The current base rent collected from PACCC and Kid’s Choice for the Extended Day Care
Sites total $7,380.17 per month or $88,562.04 per year, with a 3% increase annually. There are
sufficient funds in the FY 2024 Proposed Operating Budget to support the recommendations in
this report. Funding is subject to City Council approval through the annual budget process.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
Continuing to lease the Extended Day Care Sites from PAUSD is consistent with policies and
programs in the Comprehensive Plan promoting City-PAUSD collaboration and the effective
provision of community services.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
The City and PAUSD collaborated on development of the new amendment to provide options to
extend the existing agreement in one (1) year terms through 2027.

TITLE
Approval of a Professional Services Agreement (Contract No. C23184669A) with LifeMoves for
the provision of Homeless Outreach Services in an Amount Not to Exceed of $460,000 for a term
of two years; CEQA status – not a project.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager or their designee
to execute Contract No. C23184669A (Attachment A) with LifeMoves to provide outreach
services to the unhoused for a term of two years and a total amount not-to-exceed $460,000.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
If approved, the scope of services in this contract provides for outreach services to unhoused
individuals for a two-year period. Services will include regular street outreach to locate and
engage with unhoused individuals where they are in the Palo Alto area, to build trust, increase
awareness of services and resources, improve neighbor relations, act as a resource to local
businesses and, when feasible, connect them with support services including shelter, housing,
government benefits, mental health, substance abuse treatment, or employment training among
other needs. A small portion of the outreach team’s time will be spent on Stanford University
land as part of a revenue agreement between Stanford and the City.
This contract is considered a pilot. At the end of the contract term and upon review of the service
outcomes and available funding, it will be determined whether and how future homeless
outreach services will be provided by the City.
Item 38
Item 38 Staff Report
Item 38: Staff Report Pg. 1 Packet Pg. 617 of 911
BACKGROUND
The need for outreach services to the unhoused was first brought to the Council on April 5, 2021,
as part of study session on Services to the Unhoused in Palo Alto1 at which Council was asked to
consider four areas of support for the unhoused, including “Outreach/Street Outreach Case
Workers for Unhoused and Mental Health Support”. At that time staff explained that building
trust with unhoused individuals to help them to address their needs is most effective with the
help of a consistent outreach case worker. A City funded outreach case worker could provide
services to other vulnerable populations regularly using public spaces such as parks, libraries, and
community centers, Staff also shared that the City does not have any organization under contract
specifically to perform this function.
This concept was reintroduced on August 30, 2021, during a Council discussion on “Direction on
Strategies Related to Services for Unhoused Palo Alto Residents, Including Potential Emergency
Shelter, and Adoption of a Resolution Endorsing the Santa Clara County Community Plan to End
Homelessness 2020-25”2. At that time, Council directed staff to “Return with a proposal for an
outreach team to the unhoused, which will include case management resources, additional
Police resources, and program coordination staff. Funding in the amount of $100,000 was
approved on October 25, 2021, as a budget amendment as part of a discussion on the
“Preliminary Q1 FY 2022 Financial Status to the FY 2022”3.
ANALYSIS
The City issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Homeless Outreach Services on the city’s
eProcurement platform, on May 19, 2022. The City received one response which was reviewed
and deemed non-responsive. Feedback received from other organizations was that the funding
available was not sufficient to safely and adequately provide the services listed in the scope of
services. The scope was reassessed, and additional funding became identified by means of the
Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Entitlement Funding (a state funding source
administered by the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) to local jurisdictions)4. The city received the PLHA award letter from HCD on December 20,

Proposals were received from three organizations: Move Mtn. View, LifeMoves and Peninsula
HealthCare Connections. The evaluation committee reviewed each proposers’ responses to the
services requested in the scope of services and a series of additional questions that sought to
assess the proposers’ approach to outreach, reducing homelessness, cultural competency, and
measurement tools to assess success towards reaching proposed contract goals.
The evaluation committee selected LiveMoves as the firm best qualified to provide services
requested by the City. They provided a comprehensive approach to the scope of work,
demonstrated a clear understanding of Palo Alto and its needs, and have extensive experience
working with providing Homeless Outreach Services in several cities in the Bay Area.
Services to be provided include regular street outreach to locate and engage with unhoused
individuals where they find themselves in the Palo Alto area, in order to build trust, increase
awareness of services and resources, improve neighbor relations, act as a resource to local
businesses and, when feasible, connect them with support services including shelter, housing,
government benefits, mental health, substance abuse treatment, or employment training
among other needs. For the specific program objectives, tasks and outcomes measures as part
of this contract, see full scope of services in the contract (Attachment A).
This program differs from the Downtown Streets Team employment services program which is
also on the City Council agenda for adoption on June 19, 2023. The employment services
program, proposed to be provided by Downtown Streets Team, is intended to provide job
readiness to homeless and or extremely low-income individuals in the Palo Alto community.
Both programs are part of the City’s ecosystem to support homeless and or extremely low-
income individuals in Palo Alto.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
Funding for this contract is available through a combination of funding sources. The primary
funding source will be the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) entitlement funding that
is expected to be distributed. Additional funding support will be from a contract with Stanford
University for services ($25,000) and the City’s General Fund ($100,000). Below is the
breakdown by year, the budget amendments to recognize the PLHA and Stanford University
revenues and fund this contract are included in the FY 2024 Budget for Council consideration
and adoption on June 19th, 2023:
- Year 1 $230,000: $116,000 PLHA entitlement (reflect entitlement year 2019), $25,000
Stanford University, and remaining costs to be covered by the City’s General Fund
Community Services Department (appropriation for homeless outreach services)
Item 38
Item 38 Staff Report
Item 38: Staff Report Pg. 4 Packet Pg. 620 of 911
- Year 2 $230,000: $209,000 PLHA entitlement (reflect entitlement year 2020 and 2021),
$21,000 Stanford University
As a two-year pilot contract, funding beyond these years if continuation of services is desired
would need to be identified. This would be an eligible expense for the new Business Tax
receipts for affordable housing and unhoused services or future PLHA entitlement funding in
the future.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Services to unhoused community members, including the concept of homeless outreach services,
was discussed at Council Meeting on April 5, 2021, and August 30, 2021, and the public was able
to give input during oral communications. The concept was also discussed during a meeting of
the Palo Alto Homeless Services Providers Committee on April 8, 2021.

City Council
Staff Report
From: City Manager
Report Type: CONSENT CALENDAR
Lead Department: Community Services
Meeting Date: June 19, 2023
Report #:2303-1192
TITLE
Acceptance of an Outdoor Environmental Education Facilities Grant from the California
Department of Parks and Recreation in the amount of One Hundred and Sixty-Two Thousand
Dollars ($162,000) for Signage and Exhibits at the Palo Alto Baylands Nature Preserve, Approval
of Deed Restrictions in the Baylands, and Approval of a FY 2024 Budget Amendment in the Capital
Improvement Fund; CEQA – categorically exempt (Regulation 15311).
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council approve the following:
1. Acceptance of a $162,000 grant from the California Department of Parks and Recreation
to fabricate and install interpretive exhibits and signage along the Baylands trail;
2. Approval of 30-year deed restrictions for the sites where State-funded interpretive
exhibits will be installed;
3. Direct the City Manager or designee to execute all documents necessary to implement
items 1. and 2. above.
4. Amend the Fiscal Year 2024 Budget Appropriation for the Capital Improvement Fund,
requires a 2/3 vote, by:
a. Increasing the estimate for Revenue from Other Agencies for grants by $162,000;
and
b. Establishing the Baylands Interpretive Signage Program (OS-24001) Capital Project
and expense appropriation in the amount of $162,000.
BACKGROUND
The California Department of Parks and Recreation awarded the City of Palo Alto an Outdoor
Environmental Education Facilities grant for $162,000 to improve educational opportunities for
visitors to the Baylands, specifically for the fabrication and installation of interpretive exhibits.
The City Council adopted a Resolution approving the submission and management of the grant

in 20181. The State conditionally awarded the grant to the City of Palo Alto and both parties
entered into a contract for the $162,000 award on October 9, 2018. Section One, Subsection 5 of
the grant contract requires the City to place a deed restriction for 30 years (until 2047) on land
where State-funded exhibits will be installed. Since 2018, there were several steps needed
before staff could return to Council with the recommended grant acceptance and approval of
deed restrictions. This included working with partner organizations to raise the matching grant
funds, hiring a consultant to draft the legal descriptions for deed restrictions and developing the
legal descriptions.
Since City Council approval, staff has met its obligation to provide regular reports to the State on
the status of achieving the following grant requirements: A) Progress obtaining matching grants,
B) Designing and approval of the exhibits, signage, and installation and C) Selecting a consultant
for the drafting of legal descriptions of the parcels to which the grant funds would be used and
contracted to a Deed Restriction. The status of these grant requirements is described below.
A. The grant’s match requirement of $54,000 for preconstruction costs were raised
exclusively by the Friends of the Palo Alto Parks and the Environmental Volunteers in 2019
and used to engage stakeholders and to design the exhibits in 2020-2021.
B. A two-phase Baylands Signage plan was developed for exhibits and signage on the Lucy
Evans Baylands Nature Interpretive Center (Center) deck, the boardwalk, and on two
miles of nearby trails adjacent to the Center after the need for outdoor interpretive
signage was identified during stakeholder engagement in three Capital Improvement
Projects: The Baylands nature Interpretive Center Facility Improvements (PE-15029), the
Baylands Nature Interpretive Center Exhibit Improvements (AC-14001) and, the Baylands
Boardwalk Improvements (PE-14018).
The first phase included interpretive exhibits on the deck of the Center funded by the
Baylands Exhibit Capital Improvement Project. The request to the California Department
of Parks and Recreation Outdoor Environmental Education Facilities grant was sought to
fund the second phase with the Baylands Exhibit Project long-range plan. The Palo Alto
Architectural Review Board approved a Major Architectural Review Application for a
Master Sign Program on February 1, 2018.
C. For the approximately two miles of existing trail and boardwalk at the Center the attached
Deed Restriction is required to be consistent with the public purposes of the 2002
Resources Bond Act recordation (Attachment A). The Deed Restriction is a restriction on
the title to the property, which ensures that the property is used for a purpose consistent

with the grant for the duration of the contract performance period. A formal legal
description of the park dedication of the Baylands to which grant funds will be used for
development is required. These legal descriptions were drafted by consultant BKF
ENGINEERS.
ANALYSIS
Council approval of the proposed acceptance of grant funds would authorize the City Manager
or Designee to execute the grant agreement, administer the grant, and commit to a
DeedRestriction for at least 30 years. These terms are similar to prior State Park and Recreation
grant applications. In addition, Council approval of the Baylands Interpretive Signage Program
(OS-24001) will enable the staff of the Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo, who manage the Lucy
Evans Baylands Nature Interpretive Center (Center), to procure and enter contracts with exhibit
and signage companies to fabricate and install the interpretive exhibits and signs on the
boardwalk and along two miles of Baylands trails connecting Palo Alto’s Nature Center with East
Palo Alto’s Cooley Landing Education Center. The project includes 11 sign exhibits with 11
installations most to be located on the Center’s Deck and adjacent Boardwalk.
Deed Restriction
While staff received approval to submit an Outdoor Environmental Education grant application
of $162,000, acceptance of the grant requires approval of recordation of a Deed Restriction
that covers a portion of the Baylands that are dedicated parkland. This deed restriction does
not interfere with the Palo Alto Airport Property lines.
The duration of deed restriction shall be in effect from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2047. The
grant funds are to be spent exclusively on carrying out the purposes set in the original grant
application referenced above to fabricate and install the interpretive exhibits and signs. Any
changes to the original grant application would require State approval.
During the duration of the Deed Restriction the City would be required to have facilities
operating hours consistent with the times proposed in the original application and be open to
members of the public as described in the original application. Additionally, the City agrees that
for the duration of the Deed Restriction the deed property shall be used only for the purposes
of the grant and no other use, sale or other disposition shall be permitted except as authorized
by a specific act of the legislature.
The City of Palo Alto would be required to submit status reports of the project from time to
time. The State would have the right to inspect all property or facilities developed. Sixty days
after completion of the project the City would provide final expenditures to the State.
The Outdoor Environmental Education Facilities Grant Contract defines the installation of
interpretive signage and interactive exhibits as a capital improvement to real property by
means of construction of permanent or fixed features of the property.
Policy Implications

Item 39 Staff Report
Item 39: Staff Report Pg. 3 Packet Pg. 645 of 911

The recommended actions outlined in this report advance many important policy objectives
related to the City Comprehensive Plan Policy Goal C-1: Deliver community services effectively
and efficiently. These include:
A) Policy C-1.4 Promote City parks, open spaces, recreational facilities, libraries, classes and
cultural activities for community members recognizing that these facilities and services
build and strengthen community.
B) Policy C-1.16 Provide arts, science and recreational activities that foster healthy children,
youth and teen development.
C) Policy C-1.20 Leverage available funding to support the development of, and improved
access to, programs that address all types of developmental disabilities, including
physical, sensory, cognitive or social/emotional needs.
All improvements to the Baylands will conform with the 2004 Baylands Nature Preserve Site
Assessment and Design Guidelines. The string of 11 interpretive exhibits on the trails and
boardwalk will engage and bridge the two communities that care for the saltmarsh. The project
is intended to be completed by Fall 2024.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
Acceptance of the $162,000 grant, and appropriation of the funding to the Baylands Interpretive
Signage Program Capital Project (OS-24001) will fund the fabrication and installation of the signs
and exhibits. The 11 signs and exhibits will be installed on the boardwalk and along two miles of
Baylands trails connecting Palo Alto’s Nature Center with East Palo Alto’s Cooley Landing
Education Center. It is estimated that approximately $3,000 annually will be needed to maintain
the exhibits starting in FY 2025. The operating impact will include site checks of the 11 newly
installed exhibits, cleaning supplies for care of the exhibits, and graphic replacement of the
exhibits if necessary. These additional operating impacts will be absorbed by the Community
Services Department with no additional budgetary action required.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
The stakeholder engagement included a multi-tiered approach involving members of the public,
partners of the project, and interested City Departments. The engagement with members of the
public included: one East Palo Alto Council Meeting, three Parks and Recreation Commission
meetings and two design charettes.
The City also engaged with several partners of the project including but not limited to: (1) Friends
of the Palo Alto Parks, (2) East Palo Alto Center for the Arts, (3) Save The Bay, (4) Audubon, (5)
California Department of Fish and Wildlife, (6) US Department of Fish and Wildlife, and (7) San
Francisquito Creek Joint Powers Authority. The City departments that were consulted include the
Wastewater Treatment Plant and Open Space Division of the Community Services Department.

Criterion 1. Need for Outdoor Environmental Education
1A. What are the outdoor education needs that this project will address?
This project proposes to interpret the marshlands of the Palo Alto Baylands Nature
Preserve (Baylands) through the installation of interpretive panels and interactive exhibits
along two ½ miles of multi-use trails of the Baylands, and on the adjoining ¼ mile long
boardwalk of the Lucy Evans Baylands Nature Interpretive Center (LENC), an interpretive
public facility built in 1969 to interpret the Baylands. This open space preserve, with beautiful
vistas and teeming with marsh life, is unique because it is the largest undisturbed tract of salt
marsh in the San Francisco Bay Area. The educational goals of the Bridging Communities By
Caring for a Salt Marsh Project (referred as “Bridging Communities Project” hereafter), are to
help visitors develop an appreciation for and an understanding of the Baylands ecosystem,
and to inspire them to take action to conserve the Baylands.
Research shows1 that people need to be emotionally and intellectually connected to a
natural resource before they are compelled to take actions to protect that resource. Getting
people to care about a natural resource like a salt marsh, however, can be challenging
because such a resource does not instantly resonate with people in the same way as an
iconic resource such as Yosemite. Thus, there is a need to develop creative education
strategies to connect people emotionally and intellectually to underappreciated resources like
a salt marsh. The existing nature centers in the Baylands (the LENC and the Cooley Landing
Educational Center) partially address our educational goals by serving a specific type of
visitor to the Baylands—those whose primary goal is to educate themselves about the salt
marsh. What’s needed to supplement these centers is a way to educate people who may not

Item 39: Staff Report Pg. 75 Packet Pg. 717 of 911
choose on their own volition to visit these nature centers. Some visitors literally need to be
situated in the salt marsh and be prompted to use all their senses to develop an appreciation
for salt marsh habitats. By building outdoor interpretive experiences in the Baylands to
complement the indoor interpretation of the Baylands, we provide multiple points of entry for
the very broad range of visitors that visit the Baylands for educational or outdoor recreational
reasons. To address the educational goals of the Bridging Communities Project, our
educational strategy focuses on helping visitors to:
1) Make emotional and intellectual connections about the natural history and
management of the Baylands through multi-sensory exhibits: Given the broad range of
vistors that make 600,000 to 700,000 annual visits to the Baylands, we recognize the need
for an interpretive strategy that can communicate key messages to nearly anyone. We will do
this by developing multi-sensory interpretive exhibits to help visitors understand what they
are seeing, smelling, hearing, and touching, as they experience the Baylands. We will rely on
modern 2-D and 3-D designs, for example, using colorful illustrations or presenting three
common salt marsh plants in bas relief, to make information on the panels engaging and
accessible to diverse user groups.
2) Support ongoing efforts to protect the Baylands through exhibits and educational
programs: By engaging visitors emotionally and intellectually, the Bridging Communities
Project seeks to persuade individuals to support the conservation efforts of local agencies,
such as Save the Bay, and to take personal actions to reduce their ecological footprint.
These exhibits will also be used as tools by Baylands educational staff from LENC and the
Cooley Center during field trips and programs for schools and families. In addition to helping
schools meet State Content Standards for science, these programs will help visitors make

Attachment A- CA Dept
Parks and Rec Deed
Restriction
Item 39: Staff Report Pg. 76 Packet Pg. 718 of 911
connections between the messages on these outdoor interpretive exhibits to ways that
visitors can support conservation efforts of the Baylands. The signage will identify
conservation efforts that people can engage in, such as not littering, reducing pollutants, and
participating in native plant restoration projects.
1B. Why is this project needed at this project site?
With its abundant wildlife, stunning views of the Bay Area, and 15 miles of multi-use
trails, the Baylands is popular with hikers, runners, bicyclists, commuters, birders, and school
groups. Many consider the Baylands as one of the best bird watching areas on the west
coast with 31 bird species making the Baylands their year-round home. The Baylands
complex includes a small airport, yacht harbor, golf course, duck pond and picnic area,
athletic center, sailing center, and the LENC and the Cooley Center nature centers. Given
that just a small fraction of California’s salt marshes still remain, it is an excellent example of
how sensitive marshlands can be smartly managed within an array of human developments.
The Baylands is an important site for an outdoor education project for the following reasons:
Geographic location: Situated between Palo Alto and East Palo Alto, the Baylands offers
easy access for thousands of urban residents who are seeking a tranquil spot in nature. This
is especially true for residents and workers on the eastern edge of San Francisco Peninsula
for whom access to outdoor recreational sites is not easy.
Proximity to large numbers of diverse target audiences: This project will serve residents
in Silicon Valley and, in particular, the community of adjacent East Palo Alto (EPA). EPA is
comprised of predominantly low-income families. In the 2010 census, the median income for
a family was $42,342. Over 90% of EPA’s residents are Latino, African-American, and/or
Pacific Islander, and many are new immigrants to the country. The educational strategy of
Item 39
Attachment A- CA Dept
Parks and Rec Deed
Restriction
Item 39: Staff Report Pg. 77 Packet Pg. 719 of 911
this project addresses the needs of this underserved urban community and engages them in
a meaningful way with this beautiful backyard natural resource.
Fulfills broader community goals: With the completion of the new Cooley Center in 2016,
and the ongoing rehabilitation of LENC and its adajacent ¼ mile boardwalk that extends into
the salt marsh, our proposal to interpret the trails between the two centers will enhance the
impact of the two centers, thus realizing the City of Palo Alto’s 2017 Natural Open Space &
Recreation Master Plan to enhance the educational experience for Baylands visitors.
Criterion 2. How the project will facilitate a wide variety of learning opportunities.
2A. Communicate the significance and value of the outdoor environmental resource(s).
Salt marshes are an often overlooked natural resource. A wide range of fish,
invertebrates, and mammals, and birds including the endangered Ridgway’s rail, spend
significant portions of their life cycle in salt marshes. Salt marsh habitat is rare in California
as this type of environment requires a unique ecology, specifically coastal areas where fresh
and salt water mix. The vast majority of California’s population lives on the State’s coastlines,
which places enormous environmental pressures on sensitive coastal habitats. This is
especially true with salt marshes in urban areas like the Baylands. By situating our
interpretive exhibits literally in front of visitors as they pass through the areas of the salt
marsh that we are interpreting, we have a better chance of helping people understand the
significance of this natural resource. Our interpretive strategy will focus attention on what
visitors can easily observe in the salt marsh such as the changing tide or bird tracks in the
wet mud, then redirect attention to what is less obvious such as foraging bat rays or bivalves
that one can hear or smell but not see at low or high tides.
2B. Present the resource(s) within the context of their local, as well as larger, ecosystems.
Item 39
Attachment A- CA Dept
Parks and Rec Deed
Restriction
Item 39: Staff Report Pg. 78 Packet Pg. 720 of 911
Salt marshes support plants and animals that comprise a complex food web for marine
and terrestrial life. For example, juvenile fish that begin life in salt marshes are preyed upon
by other fish and birds. The salt marsh provides not only habitat to many resident species,
but serves as a critical stop-over point for many birds as they migrate through the Bay Area.
Salt marshes also provide valuable ecological services. They filter pollutants from coastal
waters and buffer adjacent lands from wind and waves. During storm surges, salt marshes
slow and disperse water that would otherwise flood communities along the estuarine coast.
2C. Actively engage the visitor’s senses: auditory, visual, tactile and kinesthetic.
Our strategy focuses visitor attention on what they see, hear, feel, and smell all around
them. The project’s signs will be in English and Spanish with tactile experiences for people
who are visually impaired (e.g., touchable raised relief maps of the surrounding area, with
Braille). Hands-on exhibits will provide interactive experiences, such as a spinning sediment
wheel developed by the Exploratorium to show how tides and currents alter sediment levels
in the water column. Signage will prompt visitors to listen to sounds and smells of the marsh.
2D. Illustrate challenges to the resources and corresponding solutions
Over half the original salt marshes in the United States have vanished due to human
development. Signage will indicate how direct destruction of California salt marshes has
been eliminated by law, but threats to marshes are ever-more present due to high population
concentrations in state coastal regions. Salt marsh visitors and guided program participants
will come to understand how environmental pollutants from non-point sources and introduced
species can negatively impact native species. More positive messages will indicate how
bridges, electrical transmission towers, and waste-water outflows exist in the salt marsh with
relatively few impacts on biota, and how the citizens and cities work with local agencies to
Item 39
Attachment A- CA Dept
Parks and Rec Deed
Restriction
Item 39: Staff Report Pg. 79 Packet Pg. 721 of 911
monitor biological impacts on the marsh. Solutions include minimizing runoff with porous
pavement, and installing plant buffer strips and water detention basins to contain runoff.
2E. Reveal solutions that inspire visitors to take action to protect the resource(s).
In addition to helping people understand the ecology of the salt marsh, one of the other
key messages of the trail signage will be that every Bay Area resident can take simple steps
to protect the marsh by not littering and reducing nonpoint source pollutants. They can use
fertilizer and lawn care products sparingly. Litter can enter storm drains that lead to the
Baylands and harm wildlife in the bay. Cleaning up after pets, especially in the Baylands
complex, is especially important as pet waste enters the marsh waters and pollutes. By
driving less, residents can reduce air pollutants that end up in coastal waters. The exhibits
will also be used by outdoor educators for school and family tours.
Criterion 3. Who will be served: Population Groups and Applicant Experience.
3A. Describe how this project will serve the needs of multiple population groups
This project serves Silicon Valley, which includes San Mateo and Santa Clara counties,
as well as southern portions of the East Bay in Alameda County. Four million people live
here, and the median annual income per household is $102,000. Many of the 600,000 –
700,000 annual visits to the Baylands are made by adult caucasians of substantial economic
means. Many adult audiences use the trails for hiking, running, cycling, or walking on lunch
breaks or after work. Given their use of the trails for recreational purposes, the intrerpretive
strategy requires improvement upon outdated types of interpretive signage seen in other
parks, which is often pedantic and or does not reference phenomena in front of the viewer’s
eye. The multi-sensory exhibits will hook the attention of visitors through modern, human-
centered design and will focus on what can be immediately experienced.
Item 39
Attachment A- CA Dept
Parks and Rec Deed
Restriction
Item 39: Staff Report Pg. 80 Packet Pg. 722 of 911
The Baylands are adjacent to East Palo Alto (EPA), home to 28,000 residents. Ninty
percent of EPA is non-white, with 65% being Latino, and 15% being African-American or
Pacific Islander.Many are immigrants. The median household income is ~$48,000. Eight-
seven percent of EPA public school students receive free or reduced lunches, a number that
is significantly higher than the state average of 58.5%. Sixty-seven percent of EPA students
are English Language Learners, and this is higher than the state average of 21.6%.
Through the Bridging Communities Project, the City of Palo Alto seeks to engage these
underserved audiences. The Cooley Center hosted a 2016 Earth Day celebration at the
Baylands and attracted 1,000 people, including many from underserved poulations, by
providing science activities, music, and art, as well as bilingual tours along the Baylands
trails. The Baylands educators will host more such events to attract diverse family audiences
from EPA and will rely on the proposed interpretive exhibits as educational tools during
weekend family tours. Elementary school children are another key audience for educators
who use Baylands trails for the 3,000 students that visit annually. Teachers will use the
highly tactile aspects of the proposed outdoor exhibits, the colorful illustrations and artworks,
as well as interactive exhibits (e.g., sediment mixer), as tools to enhance discussions with
children. Furthermore, the trail-side exhibits will provide a way for children to share what they
learned on their school tours when they return to the Baylands as free-choice visitors.
Working with elementary schools is an effective strategy to engage East Palo Alto residents
because of the many young families that live there. Seniors are also an important audience
as Palo Alto senior care facilities bus their senior residents to the Baylands. Photography and
birdwatching clubs that use the Baylands largely cater to local seniors as do weekday lifelong

Attachment A- CA Dept
Parks and Rec Deed
Restriction
Item 39: Staff Report Pg. 81 Packet Pg. 723 of 911
learning classes offered by neighboring city recreational departments to explore local natural
habitats. To accommodate seniors, signage will include large print text and images.
3B. Describe any previous strategies for attracting and serving identified populations
Local free-choice adult visitors have been the primary audience of the Baylands. Trails
and existing signage have been the primary interpretive strategies to engage these visitors.
More recently, EPA and Palo Alto have held events targeting families through activities, art,
food, and music events. These events, highlighted by Earth Day and Moonlight Run, have
attracted more than 5,000 people between 2013 and 2016. A grant-funded project run by the
Palo Alto Art Center and the Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo hosted three events that
engaged scientists, artists, and families in place-based science exploration and art making.
For the past three years, the City of Palo Alto has provided free field trips to every East Palo
Alto and East Menlo Park third grader to Cooley Center or the LENC for a 2-hour hands-on
educational program about salt marsh ecology. With the help of the Zoo’s Friends
organization, an additional $50,000 is spent annually by the Museum to provide free science
programming in EPA schools.
Criterion 4. Getting There and Project Availability
4A. Describe all transportation methods that are available to access the project site.
The trail is located within one mile of half the population of East Palo Alto, and within
three miles of most residents in EPA. The site can be accessed by bike for all residents of
EPA and Palo Alto. Most visitors access the Baylands via Highway 101, and there is ample
parking at five Baylands parking lots. Free shuttles to the Baylands are provided by the City
of Palo Alto and Stanford, and the area is serviced by Santa Clara Valley Transit district
buses as well as SamTrans public buses throughout the San Francisco Peninsula. All public
buses require riders to walk a short distance from the bus stop to the Baylands trails.

4B. Hours of public operation: The Baylands Preserve is open from 8 AM to 7:30 PM in
summer and from 8 AM to sunset during winter hours. Consequently, the Baylands
Interpretation Project will be publicly accessible ~84 hours a week throughout the year.
Criterion 5: Organizational Capacity
5A. Capital outlay projects not administered by OGALS completed by the applicant
The City of Palo Alto project team for this project has not managed any project by
OGALS, but has managed many other similar projects, including the following:
Baylands Nature Center Improvement Project, a capital improvement project by City of Palo
Alto: The scope of this project focused on the design and rehabilitation of the Lucy Evans
Nature Center. The work entailed replacing the building’s siding, deck, and railing; renovating
restrooms to meet ADA standards; and updating the electrical and lighting systems. The total
cost was $582,485 and funds were provided by City of Palo Alto. The two-year project,
completed in 2016, was finished on time and on budget. The project had to conform to avoid
disturbing sensitive habitat and had to be carried out on a tight construction schedule.
Bobcat Ridge exhibit at the City of Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo: This project entailed
design and construction of a 1,000 square foot live bobcat exhibit and care facility. The total
cost was $609,000, with $500,000 from private sources, and $109,000 from the City of Palo
Alto. This two-year project was completed in 2010, on time and within the planned budget.
5B. Provide specific examples demonstrating experience and accomplishments with
incorporating learning and discovery opportunities in a project.
The Bobcat Ridge exhibit described above entailed developing interactive exhibits and
signage that targeted children. This project included many elements that are proposed as
part of the Community Bridges Project, including tactile and interactive experiences to
engage children. Exhibit evaluation was used to meet proposed learning objectives.

and LENC. Education tours that use the proposed exhibits will require cooperation between
educators, administrators, and exhibit developers. The City of Palo Alto maintains trails with
interpretive signage, including those associated with this project. On average, the
maintenance staff spend three hours per year per sign, keeping them clean, removing graffiti,
and taking care of repairs.
6B, C, D. What funding sources will be used to maintain the project for the 20 or 30 year
term? Additional partners who will contribute to long-term stability of project? Positions
responsible for programming, operation, and maintenance?
The City of Palo Alto allocates $200,000 annually to operate the school and family
programs that will utilize the proposed trail signage. Much of this allocation is used to support
educator salaries. Palo Alto supports the salaries of rangers and maintenance staff charged
with safety and maintenance of the city’s open spaces, including the Baylands. The Friends
of Palo Alto Parks actively fundraises for this project. The following City of Palo Alto staff
would share responsibility for this project’s programs, operations, and maintenance: 1)
Education Director, Arts and Science Division, Programming role, 5% of time devoted to
this project; 2) Senior Educator, LENC, Programming role; 20% of time to this project; 3)
Instructors, LENC, Programming role, 50% of time to this project and Operations role at 5%
of time to this project; 4) Sr. Manager, Arts and Science Division, Operations role, 5% of
time to this project; and 5) Open Space Ranger, Maintenance role, 5% of time to this project.

TITLE
Approval of Contract with Downtown Streets Team, Inc. (C23188369) for a Total Not-to-Exceed
Amount of $168,340 for Fiscal Year 2024 for Workforce Development Services: Environmental
Assessment: Exempt in Accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager or their designee to execute
Contract C23188369 (Attachment A) with Downtown Streets Team, Inc. to provide Workforce
Development Services for a term of one year ending June 30, 2024 for a total amount not to
exceed amount of $168,340.
BACKGROUND
On June 20, 2022, City Council approved allocating $160,477 from the General Fund for
workforce development services to be provided by Downtown Streets Team, Inc. (DST).
Historically, DST has been funded through the Department of Housing and Urban
Development’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. During Fiscal Year 2022,
staff was notified that DST no longer qualified as a community-based development organization
due to a change in its board membership and, as a result, was no longer eligible to receive
CDBG funding in FY 2023. Due to this change of status and to provide continued support to the
program in FY 2023, staff recommended and City Council approved funding DST from the
General Fund.
Staff reported at the time that it would seek opportunities to potentially resolve the issue by
applying for an exemption as provided for by the federal department for Housing and Urban
Development. This research took several months and recently concluded with a finding that the
exemption process was not likely to result in a favorable outcome, and therefore will not be
pursued. More background information is available from the June 20, 2022 staff report.
Under Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC) 2.30.360(b)(2), the City Manager has approved an
exemption from competitive solicitation due to the impracticality to solicit for these services.

Item 40: Staff Report Pg. 1 Packet Pg. 728 of 911
During the next fiscal year, the City Manager’s Office in collaboration with the Community
Service Department will evaluate and recommend a path forward to support these services.
The actions in this report will result in continued support for the DST Workforce Development
program in FY 2024.
ANALYSIS
The DST program provides homeless and/or extremely low-income individuals with job
readiness training and employment opportunities through job search skill instruction,
supportive services, and direct employment placements with partnering companies. The
objective of this program is to help previously homeless individuals rebuild their self-esteem
and confidence through the dignity of work. The primary goal of the program is to transition
people from a state of non- worker readiness and unemployment into regular paid
employment.
The program provides counseling and training to assist participants develop a plan for
self-sustainability by procuring housing or shelter, address physical/mental issues, receive
transportation assistance, or providing other services. Training primarily focuses on building
successful work habits, job readiness skills, resume writing, and employment search skills. DST
will additionally recruit and work with a network of local businesses to identify and increase the
number of job opportunities suitable for the targeted population from the private sector. This
program differs from the outreach worker program which is also on the City Council agenda for
adoption on June 19, 2023. The outreach worker program, proposed to be provided by
LifeMoves, is intended to have a consistent presence to locate and engage with unhoused
residents throughout Palo Alto. Both programs are part of the City’s ecosystem to support
homeless and or extremely low-income individuals in the Palo Alto community.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
Funding for this contract is included in the FY 2024 Operating Budget of the Planning and
Development Services Department. No additional resources required at this time.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The recommended action is CEQA exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that
there is no possibility of a significant effect on the environment.

TITLE
Tree Protection Ordinance Year One Implementation Update
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is not recommending any action at this time. This report is being provided as an
informational update on Tree Protection Ordinance implementation.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Title 8 of Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC) contains regulations governing street trees, shrubs
and plants (Chapter 8.04), weed abatement (Chapter 8.08), and tree preservation and
management (Chapter 8.10).
The Tree Protection Ordinance updates made in 2022 focus on implementation of Council-
approved policies contained in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan (Natural Environment Chapter1),
and the Urban Forest Master Plan2. Additional code updates include changes prompted by
State law, specifically Executive Order B-29-153, also known as the Model Water Efficient
Landscape Ordinance. Changes made to the ordinance range from significant policy changes,
like expanding the types of protected trees and revising allowances for tree removal, to more
clerical updates, like updating authorized officers and accounting for recent changes in other
development-related codes.
Implementation of the new ordinance began in July 2022 and is still in progress.

Item 41: Staff Report Pg. 1 Packet Pg. 752 of 911
BACKGROUND
On June 6, 2022, the City Council voted4 to update the Tree Protection Ordinance to
complement current policy documents and strengthen requirements and procedures for when
protected tree removals are proposed. The first Tree Protection Ordinance was added to the
Palo Alto Municipal Code in 1951 and its last substantive update prior to the 2022 update was
in 2001. Since then, the City implemented new policy documents such as the 2015 Urban Forest
Master Plan (UFMP), which contains goals and policies to sustain and enhance Palo Alto’s
Urban Forest. Many of these policies and goals are also tied to sustainability efforts contained
in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan and the Sustainability and Climate Action Plan (S/CAP).
During the adoption of the updated Tree Protection Ordinance in June of 2022, Staff was
directed by Council to review the ordinance with the Parks and Recreation Commission (PRC)
and Planning and Transportation Committee (PTC) near the one-year mark. Once those reviews
were completed, staff was to return to Council with any proposed changes or additional
updates to the Tree Protection Ordinance. Staff is providing this update due to Council and
public interest after the recent unprecedented winter season. Staff plans to meet with PRC and
PTC in the coming months to review the first year of the ordinance and discuss any proposed
updates or adjustments that would then come before Council in the fall.
The updated Tree Protection Ordinance went into effect on July 21, 2022. It includes changes
that protect more native California species, promote drought resistant and tolerant species,
and protect most other tree species over a certain size. Under the updated ordinance, the
definition of a Protected Tree has been expanded to include the following:
Specific native species protected at 11.5” diameter at breast height (DBH):
•Acer macrophyllum (Bigleaf Maple)
o Calocedrus decurrens (Incense Cedar)
o Quercus agrifolia (Coast Live Oak)*
o Quercus douglasii (Blue Oak)
o Quercus kelloggii (California Black Oak)
o Quercus lobata (Valley Oak)*
•Species protected at 18” DBH:
o Sequoia sempervirens (Coast Redwood)*
•Proposed protected species at 15” DBH:
o includes all species not listed above except:
▪Invasive species per Cal-IPC
▪High Water Users per WUCOLS (Excluding Redwood)
•Other protected tree categories:
o Any tree designated for protection during review and approval of a development
project

Using a dataset of almost 10,500 private trees as a representative sample, staff used an average
of several calculation methods contained in the 2017 California Urban Forest Study by Greg
McPherson5, to estimate species and size distribution for our entire private tree urban forest.

ANALYSIS
Implementation of the new Tree Protection Ordinance components by staff began after
passage by Council in June 2022 and is ongoing. The sections below describe the most
significant changes contained in the updated ordinance and provide summary data illustrating
some of the impacts.
Tree Protection Ordinance Component Updates:
The expanded definition of protected trees and updated acceptable reasons for removing
protected trees both during and outside of development are likely the most significant changes
included in the updated ordinance. Any projects requiring planning approval and any building
permits not requiring planning approval that were initially submitted after July 21, 2022 are
subject to the new requirements. Because of this, many of the applications reviewed for Tree

Protected Tree Removal Permits
Tree Removal Permits historically covered only protected tree removals not associated with a
development project. To better capture and analyze tree removal data, once our new Tree
Permit Workflow is active all protected tree removals, both tied to development and outside of
development, will be captured as Tree Removal Permits.
Tree Removal Permits under updated ordinance: 7/21/2022 to 5/31/2023

Review of Development Applications for Tree Protection Ordinance Compliance
As more trees are classified as protected status under the new ordinance, many development
applications that would previously not have required in depth review by Urban Forestry staff
are now subject to review for compliance with the Tree Protection Ordinance.

The numbers below show a 14% increase in the number of applications routed to Urban
Forestry during the first 10 months of the new ordinance compared with the same time period
the year before.
As we move forward into Fiscal Year 2024, many of the projects subject to the old ordinance
will have completed reviews, been issued permits, or expired. Staff anticipates that the number
of permits routed to Urban Forestry will continue to increase over the next year.
Urban Forestry Reviews for Planning & Development: 7/21/2022 to 5/31/2023
•166 Planning applications
•608 Permit applications (Building, Encroachment, Street)
Urban Forestry Reviews for Planning & Development: 7/21/2021 to 5/31/2022

•99 Planning applications
•349 Permit applications (Building, Encroachment, Street)
New Maintenance of Protected Trees Notification Requirement
Under the updated ordinance, significant maintenance of any protected status tree requires
notification to the City and the general public. This requirement helps to inform staff and the
public about scheduled tree work. Having information about scheduled tree maintenance
available often allows staff to respond quickly to residents when inquiries are made about tree
work in their neighborhood. This has been aided through the creation of an online form by City
staff. When a tree owner plans to maintain a protected tree, they simply fill out the online
form. Some key components of this requirement:
•This is not a permit, there is no fee required, and the City does not approve or deny.
•The form instructs tree owners about the maintenance requirements for protected
status trees, and they must agree to follow best arboricultural practices when
maintaining protected trees.
•A total of 55 maintenance notifications were submitted between Sept 1, 2022, to May 1,
2023.
New Posting Requirements & Appeal Process
Major updates to the public notification process for protected tree removal permits were
included in the updated tree ordinance. The largest change included a postcard notification
process similar to what was in place for certain Planning Applications. When a Protected Tree
Removal Permit is applied for, a direct mailed postcard is sent out to all addresses within 300
feet of the property containing the tree. A second postcard is sent out when a decision on the
permit is made.
•Residents often reach out city staff for more information after receiving postcards.
•No formal appeal of a Protected Tree Removal Permit has been filed yet.
•New tree removal notification webpage has been created to accommodate the dual
notice requirements of application received and decision rendered.

Item 41: Staff Report Pg. 5 Packet Pg. 756 of 911
Posting for public tree removals by City staff and for private protected trees removed under the
City’s Right Tree, Right Place program (RTRP) are done as a courtesy to surrounding residents
and are not required. These two types of protected tree removals are not subject to appeal
under the ordinance.
Moving From Paper Forms to Electronic Submittal of Protected Tree Removal Permit
Applications
Until recently, all Tree Removal Permit applications have been submitted in hard copy or by
email utilizing a one-page PDF application. These application submittals must then be uploaded
into the City’s Accela permit system manually. Urban Forestry staff has been working with
Planning & Development staff to launch a new Tree Removal Permit workflow in Accela that
will eliminate these extra unnecessary steps.
•New Tree Removal Permit workflow in Accela Permit System to be launched in coming
months.
o Currently in system testing phase with Accela
o Will streamline the process reducing/eliminating paper forms
o Allows assignments of specific steps to different City staff. For example, noticing
tasks can be assigned to a specific staff member while inspection of the tree can
be assigned to a City staff arborist.
o New process will collect better data on trees included in Tree Removal
Permit applications.
o Will allow staff to track completion of any required replacement plantings.
•The “Tree Protection, It’s Part of the Plan” sheet (also known as the T-1 Sheet6) and the
required Tree Disclosure Statement have been updated to reflect new ordinance.
o Exemption included in Tree Disclosure Statement for completion by certified
arborist for Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) only projects to comply with State
Law.
o Standard Urban Forestry Conditions have been added to the T-1 sheet to simplify
the Planning Departments conditions of approval process.
Tree Ordinance Components in Progress
There are several tree ordinance components that have yet to be implemented. These items
are listed below in order of priority.
•Tree and Landscape Technical Manual (TLTM)
o Update in process, ready for department review by end of FY.
o This manual is geared toward contractors, builders, and tree care companies
o Tree Protection Plan Sheet (T1) and Tree Disclosure Statement already updated
o Working on plan to translate into Spanish after final draft approved.

2023 Storm Response:
Portions of the Tree Protection Ordinance implementation were delayed this winter due to the
series of unprecedented storms that occurred between January and March of 2023.
The series of storms the Bay Area has seen this winter starting on December 31, 2022 was very
unusual. These storms included high rainfall totals in very short time spans and strong winds
from non-prevailing directions with little or no time for recovery in between events. While each
tree and its growing location are unique and there are many factors that can contribute to
whether a tree will survive an extreme weather event, the highly saturated soils from heavy
rains followed by high winds have been contributing factors to many of the whole tree failures
we have seen this winter.
For perspective, rainfall between December 31, 2022 and March 22, 2023 has resulted in four
of the top 20 highest recorded peak flows in San Francisquito creek. Response and clean up to
this series of storms began on January 1, 2023 and was mostly resolved by the end of April
2022. Staff that would have been working to complete some components of the updated Tree
Protection Ordinance were instead responding to storm related issues and recovery tasks.
Urban Forestry Winter 2023 Storm Statistics: 1/1/2023 to 4/30/23
•10 emergency tree removal permits issued
•243 Limb failures/pickups (206 City / 37 private)
•6 private trees removed (trees that failed and affected the public right-of-way)
•43 City trees removed
•50 tree related electric outages
•563 tons of green debris removal
For comparison, in the same time period in 2021, staff responded to 40 limb failures and 5 City
trees were removed.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
This update on Tree Protection Ordinance implementation does not focus on Resource Impacts.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Public outreach regarding the updated ordinance has been ongoing since the adoption of the
updated ordinance in June of 2022. The majority of public outreach has been conducted by City
staff and the City’s urban forestry non-profit partner Canopy. Below is a list of outreach efforts
that have been completed or are currently in progress.
•City Urban Forestry webpages have been updated to reflect new ordinance.
o New Tree Ordinance Information page created and expanded.

TITLE
Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Quarterly Report (Quarter 1 of Calendar Year 2023)
RECOMMENDATION
This is an informational report, and no action is required.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
This report transmits information related to application and period activity for accessory dwelling units
(ADU), including junior accessory dwelling units (JADU).
Since 2015, the City has received 571 ADU/JADU building permit applications and issued 437 permits. In
2022, the City received the highest volume of ADU applications in a one-year period. The data for the
first quarter of 2023 shows a slight reduction in application submittals on a year-to-year basis, but the
number of applications submitted remains robust. In terms of the Housing Element, this data continues
to support the anticipated housing unit production expected from J/ADUs for the current housing
element cycle.
In the first quarter of 2023, the ADU applications range from 264 to 921 square feet, with an average
size of 546 square feet. Approximately 31% and 69% of the applications were located north and south,
respectively, of Oregon Expressway. Further details can be found in Table 1 of Attachment A.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project is exempt from environmental review under Section 15061 of the California Environmental
Quality Act Guidelines.

Report #: 2302-0933
TITLE
Update on State Law AB 2097 and Local Implementation Informational Report.
RECOMMENDATION
Receive report.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Assembly Bill 20971 exempts most development projects from providing minimum on-site
parking when a site is located within one-half mile from a major transit stop. This state law has
implications for local land use policies and may affect development potential in the California
Avenue area and University Avenue Downtown areas. Existing land use policies related to
transferred development rights and in-lieu parking among other considerations are also
addressed in this report.
BACKGROUND
In November 2022, the City Council received a legislative update from Townsend Public Affairs,
the City’s state lobbyist, on new laws for 2023. One bill, Assembly Bill 2097 (AB 2097) became
effective January 1, 2023 and restricts local governments from imposing parking requirements
on certain residential and commercial development. More specifically, development projects
located within one-half mile of a major transit stop, as defined in the regulation, are exempt
from minimum on-site parking requirements. The bill does not apply to transient lodging and
does not exempt a developer from meeting local requirements for electric vehicle supply
equipment or parking spaces accessible to persons with disabilities.
Local implementation of state law is currently in effect. Staff has prepared a map based on the
legislative requirements of the law and other local and regional data sources including from the
Valley Transportation Authority and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. While AB

2097 applies to two or more intersecting major bus routes with a frequency of service interval
of 15 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods, there is only
one location in Palo Alto that meets this requirement and it located at the University Avenue
transit center. Effectively, for Palo Alto, the requirements of AB 2097 generally apply to fixed
rail station locations, though the map takes into consideration the slightly offset location of the
bus transfer service station near the University Avenue transit stop. Development projects on
property depicted within the shaded radius circles on the attached map are exempt from
minimum parking requirements.
This law has implications a number of local land use policies beyond the basic requirement for
minimum parking standards requirement.
ANALYSIS
With few exceptions, AB 2097 exempts development projects from minimum parking
standards. ”Development project” is not defined in the bill, but is defined elsewhere in state
law to mean any project “involving the issuance of a permit for construction or reconstruction
but not a permit to operate.” In coordination with the City Attorney’s Office, staff has
interpreted AB 2097 to apply to any activity that requires a building permit. This includes new
commercial office buildings and a change or expansion in land use to a more (parking) intensive
use, such as a conversion from retail to restaurant. It also has implications for the City’s
downtown in-lieu parking program, transferred development rights, coordinated area plans and
housing.
California Avenue
For many years land uses in the commercial areas of California Avenue near the rail station
have remained relatively static and there has been little new building construction activity.
Local requirements for retail preservation, small parcel sizes, and the need for on-site parking
for new or more intense land uses limit or preclude redevelopment. With AB 2097, the
constraint to redevelopment, required parking, has been eliminated. Accordingly, staff
anticipates California Avenue may experience increased development pressure for new building
construction. At a minimum, staff expects an increase in requests to change retail to restaurant
use, or other more intensive land uses both on California Avenue and nearby commercial
streets. California Avenue’s proximity to the Caltrain station may encourage new housing or
mixed-use development. Providing on-site parking requires a significant amount of space to
meet parking stall and drive aisle dimensions. Smaller lot sizes in this area make on-site parking
cost prohibitive due to ramping requirements that leave little area available for parking spaces
and increase construction costs. For this reason, the adopted Housing Element does not identify
a significant amount of housing inventory sites in this area. However, with AB 2097, new mixed-
use housing with ground floor commercial and multi-family units at upper levels may be seen as
more feasible by some property owners or developers.

University Avenue and In Lieu Parking
University Avenue has experienced some redevelopment in recent years. Downtown benefits
from a blended parking rate where each land use is assumed to generate a demand for parking
of one space for each 250 square feet of floor area; this is not the case for any other part of the
City. The blended rate was derived from a parking assessment that was prepared and
implemented several decades ago. Accordingly, changing from one lower intensity land use to a
higher intensity land use is not problematic as long as it is a permitted or conditionally
permitted land use. Moreover, Downtown has an in-lieu parking program. When a developer
cannot feasibly construct new required parking on-site, the developer could participate in the
in-lieu parking program and pay a fee to the City in-lieu of having to construct parking on-site.
With AB 2097, a developer would not need to participate in the in-lieu parking program and
staff anticipate little to no further contributions to that fund. The City is exploring using the
remaining funds in that program to support the establishment of net new Downtown parking
spaces. A recent request for information has received responses for a potential affordable
housing and public parking partnership; staff is expected to share these results with Council in
the summer.
There is currently a temporary ban that prohibits participation in the in-lieu parking program
for office uses above the ground floor. This ban is set to expire on August 1, 2025. There are
about 30 properties between Lytton and Forest Avenues adjacent to or near Webster Street
that extend beyond the half-mile AB 2097 radius. Staff recommends the in-lieu parking ban be
allowed to expire without further action. Moreover, when the City updates its zoning code
(currently not planned or resourced), staff will consider recommendations on how to address
the in-lieu parking program for future use or discontinuance.
Transferred Development Rights
The municipal code includes provisions that allow property owners in the Downtown and South
of Forest Avenue Coordinated Plan Area to receive approval to transfer development potential
from one property and apply it to another qualifying property. This typically occurs when an
owner voluntarily upgrades seismically vulnerable buildings to a safer standard or preserves an
historic resource, or both. The program initially allowed transferred development rights, or
TDRs, to be exempt from providing required parking as an incentive to encourage safer
buildings and preservation efforts. Concern about the impact of new commercial floor area,
particularly office, prompted a change to that policy, and subsequent, newly created TDRs were
required to be parked at one space per 250 square feet of floor area. With a variety of local
policy changes related to commercial land uses generally and office space specifically,
combined with the limitation to participate in the in-lieu parking program above the ground
floor, the result has been very few new commercial projects being proposed downtown. With
AB 2097, TDRs may again become an important transactional consideration for new Downtown
development – as it essentially returns TDRs to a parking-exempt status for those properties
included within the mapped radius.

If the City Council was interested in revising TDR-related policies, staff would need direction at
an agendized public meeting to receive that direction.
Residential Preferential Parking Programs
Residential parking programs are intended to limit commercial intrusions into nearby
residential areas by limiting parking access without a permit or through established time-
limited parking restrictions. All but one (Crescent Park) of the City’s residential parking program
boundaries are included wholly or partially within the AB 2097 radius. No changes are required
to the residential parking programs at this time. If future parking impacts arise, the municipal
code includes a provision for residents adjacent to a residential parking area to petition for
inclusion.
Single Family Zoning (R1, R2, RMD)
AB 2097 not only applies to multi-family housing or mixed-use or commercial developments,
but also single family residences too. Parking for accessory dwelling units is already exempt by
state law. AB 2097 would allow a residential property owner located within one-half mile of a
major transit stop to apply for a building permit to convert an existing garage area into
habitable space, eliminating on-site parking. While this can already occur with a conversion to
an ADU or junior ADU, this state law would allow the conversion without potentially costly
upgrades for plumbing and cooking facilities.
North Ventura Coordinated Area Plan
As staff continues its work on the NVCAP, one of the recommendations embedded in that plan
is to remove any parking requirements (loading zone and bicycle parking still apply). The half
mile radius from the Caltrain station effectively covers half of the NVCAP area. As the Planning
and Transportation Commission considers the final draft concept plans, discussion on whether
to extend the parking exemption to the rest of the NVCAP area, as proposed by staff, will be
evaluated before sending a recommendation to Council.
Portions of the South of Forest Avenue coordinated area plan near Downtown are also included
in the AB 2097 parking-exempt radius.
Circumstances that Allow Jurisdictions to Require On-Site Parking Pursuant to AB 2097
As noted earlier, AB 2097 does not exempt development projects from providing electric
vehicle supply equipment and accessible parking spaces. Because these spaces are typically
required as a percentage of on-site parking, some jurisdictions are implementing AB 2097 to
only require them when a developer voluntarily provides parking. This is also the approach
endorsed by staff for Palo Alto. It is also possible, however, to interpret the bill to require the
number of electric vehicle supply equipment and accessible parking spaces that would have
been provided if AB 2097 did not exist. This latter approach would be difficult to implement

because it is not clear how many spaces would actually have been provided on-site in the
absence of AB 2097 when parking reductions or in-lieu fees may be available.
In addition, State law provides that a local jurisdiction could impose or enforce minimum
parking requirements on a project within a half mile radius of a major transit stop if the agency
makes written findings within 30 days of receiving a completed application that not imposing or
enforcing the parking requirements on the development would have a substantially negative
impact, supported by a preponderance of the evidence in the record on any of the following:
(1) The jurisdiction’s ability to meet its share of the regional housing need in accordance
with Section 65584 for low- and very low income households.
(2) The jurisdiction’s ability to meet any special housing needs for the elderly or persons
with disabilities identified in the analysis required pursuant to paragraph (7) of
subdivision (a) of Section 65583.
(3) Existing residential or commercial parking within one-half mile of the housing
development project.2 [Emphasis added]
The statute goes on to stipulate that the provision above does not apply to housing
development projects that satisfy any of the following:
(1) The development dedicates a minimum of 20 percent of the total number of housing
units to very low, low-, or moderate-income households, students, the elderly, or
persons with disabilities.
(2) The development contains fewer than 20 housing units.
(3) The development is subject to parking reductions based on the provisions of any other
applicable law.
Based on the foregoing restrictions and the limited time to conduct the analysis (30 days from
the filing of a complete application), staff does not envision being able to make required
findings that would compel a project to meet minimum on-site parking requirements. Such
analysis would need to occur in advance of the City receiving a qualifying application and then
be applied to the project. Unless the City Council provides this direction at a noticed public
hearing, this advanced analysis is not envisioned being conducted and use of this provision is
not expected to be applied to qualifying projects in Palo Alto.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
This report details the implications of AB 2097 to Palo Alto. Very few development proposals
have taken advantage of this provision to date but in conversations with developers there is
2 A housing development is defined as a project consisting of residential units only; a mixed-use development
consisting of residential and nonresidential uses with at least two-thirds of the square footage designated for
residential use; or, transitional or supportive housing. An affordability requirement is not included in the definition.

interest. As it has only been six months since implementation, staff anticipates more project
applicants will seek to take advantage of this state law.
This informational report is intended to highlight the related land use policy implications of AB
2097. It is anticipated that California Avenue in particular will likely experience changes due to
this policy. At a minimum, more or expanded restaurant land uses may occupy tenant spaces
when they become available. Commercial recreation uses may also seek to locate on nearby
streets. Redevelopment with new housing or mixed-use projects is anticipated and would not
likely include any significant on-site parking.
Downtown is another area where existing land use policies may need to be revisited. This
report highlights considerations related to transferred development rights and the City’s in-lieu
parking program. If significant redevelopment occurs utilizing the provisions of state law, some
residential neighbors may seek to be included in existing residential parking programs.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
The recommendation for this informational report has no fiscal or resource impacts.
Implementation of AB 2097 is expected to curtail future contributions to the City’s in lieu
parking fund and may impact the production of new parking resources Downtown.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Staff is posting the attached map online and sharing it with developers when requested. A
discussion regarding state law is anticipated to be scheduled for the Planning and
Transportation Commission in coming months. Staff does not anticipate advancing a standalone
ordinance to codify this state law but may incorporate it into future ordinances if applicable.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
No California Environmental Quality Act review is required for an informational report.

TITLE
Update on the Capital Improvement Program and Long Range Facility Planning Update for the
Regional Water Quality Control Plant
RECOMMENDATION
This is an informational report and no Council action is required.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The RWQCP is currently implementing projects listed in the 2012 Long Range Facility Plan; there
are currently over eight projects that are in various design or construction phases with an
estimated budget of over $400 million. The Long Range Facility Plan needs to be updated to help
direct the future upgrades at the RWQCP and to assist with answering questions that have been
raised by City Council. The updated Long Range Facilities Plan will include an update to the
Biosolids Facility Plan in response to Council’s Measure E discussion, as well as an evaluation of
cost allocation methodologies for debt service projects. In addition, staff is actively pursuing the
opportunity to acquire property adjacent to the RWQCP to assist with future site planning and to
future proof the site for new regulations.
BACKGROUND
The RWQCP, originally constructed in 1934, has undergone several expansions and upgrades. The
RWQCP is now an advanced tertiary treatment facility that treats, recycles, and discharges
wastewater for Palo Alto, Mountain View, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, East Palo Alto Sanitary
District, and Stanford University. The RWQCP has a capital improvement program (CIP) to re-
invest in or replace aging infrastructure. The Wastewater Treatment Fund infrastructure is owned
by Palo Alto and supported by its partner agencies. The Plant’s core infrastructure was built in
1972 with tanks, pumps, large pipes, industrial buildings, acquisition of additional land, and
complex mechanical and electrical systems. The Plant has had ongoing capital improvements
from major works to minor projects to protect the environment and public health. Capital
improvements are driven by new regulations and guided by Long Range Facilities Plans in 1965
and in 2012. On minor capital work, staff has managed an ongoing $1.9 to $3.7 million annual
CIP reinvestment in aging infrastructure funded on a recurring basis through the partner
agreements; the recurring capital budget has been increased by an annual inflation index first

approved by partner agencies in 1998. Key projects are listed in Table 1 with major debt
financed/grant funded projects in 1972, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1999, 2009, 2010, 2019, and 2023.
Debt service for larger projects financed through loans or bonds is provided through
amendments to the partner agreements. Typical useful life of Plant infrastructure is 30 years for
mechanical and electrical gear, with portions of the Plant still at or beyond its useful life. The
capital program is a critical commitment to replace and improve aging systems for reliable
wastewater treatment.

DISCUSSSION
Capital Improvement Updates
The RWQCP’s 2012 Long Range Facilities Plan1 (LRFP) identifies projects that are needed to
rebuild and revitalize the facility, with recommended projects expected to cost between $315 to
$392 million (2015 dollars). The LRFP was accepted by the City Council on July 2, 2012 (SR# 29142),
and staff have been working on implementing the CIP program. Implementation of the LRFP is

preliminary facilities plan for key unit processes that consider spatial needs and opportunities to
meet treatment, operations, staff, and maintenance near- and long-term needs. Staff will issue a
Request for Proposal and return to Council for approval of a professional services contract to
perform the LRFP Update. The work is estimated to start in late 2023 and require 30 months for
completion. The scope of work includes (a) work space planning advanced to a 10% design level,
(b) an update to the 2014 Biosolids Facilities Plan4 and 2019 Biosolids Facilities Plan Update5 with
expected completion in 2024, (c) an evaluation of regulatory and emerging contaminant issues
as they relate to capital infrastructure, (d) development of a recommended capital program and
update of capital costs and scopes from the 2012 LRFP, (e) a cost-of-service analysis, and (f) a
capital cost sharing methodology evaluation and recommendation for debt-serviced projects.
The 2012 LRFP’s key unfinished projects are listed below. These projects will be re-evaluated and
re-prioritized based on the asset age and condition assessment, updated regulatory and
emerging contaminant issues, and other appropriate factors. Their associated cost will be re-
estimated.
(a) Dual Media Filter Facility overhaul;
(b) implement Phase 2 of the Joint Intercepting Sewer Rehabilitation project by relining
the remaining 74% (i.e., 6,636 of the 8,964 linear feet) of the upstream sections of the
60-inch and 72-inch diameter joint intercepting sewer;
(c) evaluation of large diameter plant piping and potential rehabilitation or replacement;
(d) recycled water filters, storage, and distribution pump station overhaul; and
(e) potential ozonation or other advanced facilities for advanced treatment of emerging
pollutants of concerns.
The site planning, the Biosolids Facilities Plan Update, and the development of the recommended
capital improvement program tasks will all include site and workspace planning components to
ensure that when future uses and needs are considered, the Plant has the available land to meet
near- and long-term treatment, operations, staff, and maintenance requirements. The expense
and impacts needed for future construction staging, laydown, and facility sequencing on a
constrained site will be considered in a site planning analysis. In addition to considering the
demolition, rehabilitation, and otherwise repurposing and optimization of existing facilities and
spaces, the site planning components will also evaluate the need for real estate beyond the
existing fence line. Staff is actively evaluating acquisition of adjacent real estate as a strategy to
address the space needed to accommodate improvement sequencing and take advantage of
current real estate market conditions. The timing of acquisition could involve some risk regarding

potentially acquiring land in advance of completing the LRFP update; however, the timing of
opportunities to acquire land from a willing seller adjacent to the RWQCP may justify immediate
consideration.
Opportunities beyond the Plant’s existing property boundaries include acquisition of property
contiguous to the RWQCP as well as regional partnerships. Additionally, the Biosolids Facilities
Plan update will evaluate the potential for environmental technology uses on part or all of the
10-acre site (“Measure E site”) adjacent to the Plant, consistent with Measure E, and per Council
direction. At the April 3, 2023 Council meeting, staff was directed to report back to Council about
scope and timeline on environmental technology and facilities on a portion of the Measure E site
and/or other lands. The LRFP Update will include a biosolids facilities plan update to answer these
questions (e.g., an alternative evaluation of pyrolysis, anaerobic digestion, offsite treatment,
etc.), including locating the biosolids technology and facilities on the plant site, the Measure E
site, and/or offsite. Staff in the Community Services and Public Works Departments are
coordinating on a proposal to evaluate a minimum buffer size to support a wildlife corridor
connecting Renzel Marsh to the Baylands Harbor marsh through the Measure E site.
The LRFP Update will include a cost-of-service analysis, reviewing actual cost data and its relation
to flow and wastewater pollutant load data (specifically, water quality; strength; or loading
characteristics). As required by the USEPA, partners like Palo Alto, Mountain View, and Los Altos
began using strength components in the cost of service by agreement on January 14, 1980 with
an effective start date of July 1, 1980. This approach was formalized with EPASD in 1989 and
Stanford and Los Altos Hills in 1986. The cost components are set at 34% flow, 22% ammonia
(NH3), 22% total suspended solids (TSS), and 22% chemical oxygen demand (COD). The allocations
may be altered “based upon actual cost data derived in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and upon agreement of all parties hereto.” The City will use the results of
this task to establish the cost data per generally accepted accounting principles to potentially
change the allocation of total costs to be billed on an annual basis for each of the six agencies.
Staff will work with partner agencies on proposed changes and return to Council for approval of
any recommended changes.
The partners agreed to fixed capacity share allocations for debt financed capital infrastructure in
about April 1985 as shown below. The flow allocations (in million gallons per day) and potential
new load allocations (e.g., pounds per day) will be assessed in the LRFP Update. Staff will return
to Council for approval of any recommended changes.

Total Wastewater Treatment Fund Forecast
The RWQCP capital program requires both the recurring CIP funding as well as debt-financed
instruments for larger projects. The 10-year financial forecast is shown in Figure 1 below.
Significant new annual debt service (for the above listed projects) will commence at various times
over the next ten years as new capital improvements are realized, resulting in debt service to
operations ratios ranging from 5% in FY 2025 to 29% in FY 2031.

The City Council, on June 20, 2022, adopted the City’s Capital Budget (SR# 143526), which
included the Wastewater Treatment Fund’s multi-year capital expenditure plan. Included in this
plan were capital improvement projects consistent with the RWQCP’s LRFP. The projects include:
1) WQ-14002 New Laboratory and Environmental Services Building;
2) WQ-14003 Primary Sedimentation Tank Rehabilitation and Equipment Room
Electrical Upgrades;
3) WQ-16002 Headworks Facility;

Capital Program Delivery Risks
Programmatic risks impacting delivery of capital projects include technical, schedule and
sequence, financial, staffing, and logistical issues. Technical risks include, for example, difficulties
assessing and rehabilitating infrastructure that is in operation 24/7. Furthermore, project
priorities sometimes change when systems are evaluated to be at a greater risk of failure.
Cumulatively, the risks represent a significant undertaking requiring the management and
support of a variety of City staff functions beyond the project team to ensure that human and
financial resources are directed effectively with appropriate controls and contingencies
addressed. This is an ongoing effort involving primarily Public Works, Administrative Services,
Human Resources, the City Attorney’s Office, and City Manager’s Office who have monthly
coordination meetings.
Some projects require a greater level of coordination with internal and external stakeholders.
Key capital delivery stakeholders include (a) regulators (e.g., Federal Aviation Administration, Bay
Area Air Quality Management District, Regional Water Quality Control Board, US Army Corps of
Engineers, etc.), (b) internal City departments (e.g. financial, legal, procurement, and planning,
etc.), (c) partner agencies, and (d) RWQCP neighbors (e.g., Palo Alto Airport, landfill, Baylands
Nature Preserve stewards and advocates, etc.).
Financial risks and considerations to plan for include changing loan interest rates, cash flow needs
and limitations to pay contractors prior to reimbursement from lenders, and the need to forecast
expenses to help Palo Alto and partner agencies establish rate planning efforts. Planning for
differences in costs between estimates, project budget, and bid results continue to impact the
timing and financial consideration. Staff has worked to develop debt service and cashflow options
for the Secondary Treatment Upgrades project (WQ-19001) and other high demands on the
Wastewater Treatment Enterprise Fund cash balance which is expected to go negative at peak
investment periods.
Logistical issues include coordinating multiple onsite contractors. Staging and laydown areas at
the RWQCP are very limited. Temporary bypass pumping operations and detailed construction
sequencing at a 24/7 operation are significant challenges for designers and onsite staff that must
plan a rebuild of an aging plant while continuing to safely treat and maintain existing wastewater
treatment infrastructure during construction (e.g., during the five-year long construction of the
Secondary Treatment Upgrades project).

Comparison to Neighboring Agencies
The $406 million (2023 dollars) RWQCP capital program highlighted herein is similar to
neighboring wastewater treatment capital programs. These programs are also using USEPA
WIFIA, State SRF programs, and revenue bonds for financing. Some neighboring agencies are
shown below with the size of their capital programs.

Resource Impact
The Public Works Department is currently seeking funding for the projects planned in the
Wastewater Treatment Fund Capital Improvement Program through four primary sources:
1. State SRF loans
2. USEPA WIFIA
3. Commercial market utility revenue bonds
4. Pay-as-you-go special financing
Annual debt service payments associated with each project depend upon prevailing interest rates
at the time of the loan approval and/or bond issuance, as well as the length of the repayment
term. The annual debt service payments will be paid by all the Partners to the Palo Alto RWQCP
and will be specified in amendments to their Agreements with Palo Alto; Palo Alto is responsible
for its fixed capacity payment of 38.16% of debt financed instruments. These costs and the Palo
Alto share have a direct impact on the City’s Wastewater Collection Fund forecasted rates

Wastewater Treatment Fund CIP Update – Project Status
WQ-14002 New Laboratory and Environmental Services Building
The scope per the LRFP for this project was to relocate staff and equipment from existing RWQCP
buildings and move them into a new Operations Center workspace for technical, lab,
pretreatment, and operations staff. The project was estimated in the LRFP to cost $18M in 2015
dollars ($27M when escalated to 2026 dollars). An architect was hired in early 2019 to complete
a full design for an Operations Center. However, in 2019, an early construction cost estimate for
total project cost was $52 million (2026 dollars), much higher than anticipated in the LRFP. The
ensuing design fee increase request from the architect and the substantially increased overall
total project cost led staff to release the architect from the contract at a point where the work
completed was still useful for later planning and design efforts. The need to restart efforts on
Plant workspaces, while unfortunate, has enabled staff to strategize new opportunities before
resoliciting for design services. The consensus strategy from staff is to have a consultant perform
an advanced planning analysis and include alternative opportunities to a singular, new workspace
building at the Plant, including: remodeling current operations and/or administration buildings;
procurement possibilities for supplemental real estate; office lease options; and a full design for
a new building including (a) a lab-only building, (b) a technical services building for lab,
pretreatment, and technical staff, or (c) an operations center for lab, pretreatment, technical,
and operational staff. Staff will include a workspace planning task in the upcoming Long Range
Facilities Plan Update.
WQ-14003 Primary Sedimentation Tank Rehabilitation & Equipment Room Electrical Upgrades
The Project rehabilitates four concrete primary sedimentation tanks and their ancillary systems
to extend their useful life for at least another 30 years. The scope of work includes the following
for all four tanks: repair cracked and spalling concrete on the tank’s floors, walls, and covers;
apply a new protective coating to the tank walls, ceilings, and covers; upgrade primary
sedimentation tank area lighting with LED light fixtures; replace hatch and drainage covers on the
tanks’ deck; install a flight and chain monitoring system for the primary sludge raking
mechanisms; and replace and relocate aging motor control centers (i.e., electrical power
distribution equipment) to a new pre-engineered building outside and adjacent to the sludge
pump room. Construction is expected to be completed in December 2023.
WQ-16002 Headworks Facility
The new Headworks Facility will replace the existing influent junction box, and two raw sewage
pump stations built in 1956 and 1972, respectively. The Headworks will consist of new
preliminary treatment equipment (barscreens, grit removal, and odor control) coupled with a
raw sewage lift pump station, discharging into a new pressurized pipe “force main” between the
lift station and the primary sedimentation tanks influent channel. The existing primary influent
channel will be repaired and recoated. The existing influent junction box and septage delivery

station will be upgraded or integrated into the new Headworks. All new equipment will be
provided with new electrical power distribution, backup power, instrumentation, and controls.
The project is on the list of major CIP projects outlined in the LRFP. Staff issued an RFP in April
2023 and will return to the City Council in fall 2023 for approval a professional design services
contract. Staff will also apply for a state SRF loan to finance the design and construction costs of
the project.
WQ-19000 Outfall Line Construction
The RWQCP has one 54-inch diameter outfall line to convey treated effluent from the RWQCP to
the Bay, traversing the Palo Alto Airport property. The existing outfall pipe was installed in 1964.
The LRFP identified the need for a new outfall due to insufficient capacity in the existing outfall
due to sea level rise impacts, high level king tides, wet-weather events, and generally insufficient
flow capacity in the existing pipe.
A number of issues related to approvals from regulatory bodies (e.g., State Lands Commission
and the Federal Aviation Administration) require significant redesign work for the outfall project.
Kennedy Jenks completed design on the outfall pipeline in September 2020. All permits were
obtained, except from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In parallel with the Outfall
Pipeline project design, Public Works Department staff had been working with regional and
federal agencies on a new elevated flood protection levee, protecting low-lying areas including
the airport and the RWQCP. Reconciliation of these issues requires redesign of the outfall. In
addition, some project permit applications need to be re-filed. Design and re-permitting are
anticipated to take an estimated two years, followed by construction. Construction of the Outfall
project is estimated to be completed by December 31, 2027, with engineering services during
construction scheduled to be completed by the same date.
WQ-19001 Secondary Treatment Upgrades
Upgrading the secondary treatment process (biological process) to a process that removes
harmful nitrogen will be accomplished by creating anoxic and aerated zones in existing aeration
basins. The project will improve final water quality, ensure the Plant continues to meet effluent
discharge permit limits, and allow for ultimate decommissioning of the aging biotrickling filters
and other aging equipment. The project includes new air blowers; air diffusers in aerobic zones;
anoxic zone pulsed air equipment; membrane aerated biofilm reactor cassettes; slide and sluice
gates and valves to isolate and throttle flows; instruments such as flowmeters and oxygen
probes; power distribution equipment including a standby diesel generator and power transfer
equipment; and return activated sludge piping and pumping. The $193 million project is the
largest project for the Plant capital program. Construction by Anderson Pacific Engineering
Contractors is ongoing, and completion is expected in December 2027.
WQ-19002 Plant Repair, Retrofit, and Equipment Replacement
Using ongoing, recurring funding from partner agencies, minor capital improvement projects are
financed and constructed. They are reimbursed based on the annual operating share of the
budget (about 35% for Palo Alto). These smaller projects are designed by consultants or in-house
staff. Current projects include the design of Phase 1 of 72-Inch Joint Intercepting Sewer

Rehabilitation Project and construction of Phase 1 of the 12kV Medium Voltage Electrical Power
Distribution Loop Rehabilitation Project (aka, 12kV Loop Rehabilitation). The phase 1 design of
the 72-Inch Joint Intercepting Sewer Rehabilitation Project is scheduled to be completed in fall
2023. The 12kV Loop Rehabililtation Project will replace buried underground electrical cable,
switches, and a primary metering cabinet inside the RWQCP. Construction of this project ($6.7
million) began in December 2022 and is scheduled to be completed in June 2025. The project
requires specialized construction and inspection of medium voltage equipment.
WQ-19003 Advanced Water Purification System (aka, Local Salt Removal Facility)
The project improves the quality of the RWQCP’s recycled water used for irrigation and other
purposes. The project is an advanced treatment system, initially sized for 1.125 million gallons
per day, and potentially expandable to 2.25 million gallons per day of purified water. The
improved water quality from the system will be blended with the recycled water on a one-to-one
basis, providing a maximum capacity of 4.5 million gallons per day. In March 2021, Council
approved the project’s design services contract with Black & Veatch (SR# 117821). Construction
is expected to be completed in 2026.
The cost estimate of the Local Salt Removal Facility at 90% design is $56 million, which is
significantly higher than that of the preliminary design in 2017 ($22 million). Project funding is
expected to come from several sources. External funding sources include the $16 million from
the 2019 Agreement with Valley Water (SR# 106272 ). The City also applied for and has received
confirmation of a federal $12.8 million US Bureau of Reclamation grant to cover a portion of the
project’s design and construction costs above and beyond the $16 million Valley Water
contribution. The remaining funding requirement of $27.4 million will be paid by a State SRF loan.
Staff is preparing to return to Council to describe the financing of expenses associated with the
Local Salt Removal Facility, the various funding sources available, and fiscal impacts.
WQ-22001 Horizontal Levee Pilot
The Horizontal Levee Pilot will construct a berm and horizontal levee along a portion of existing,
poor-quality upland habitat adjacent to Harbor Road. The horizontal levee will be planted with
various native plants to restore diverse transitional habitats including freshwater marsh, wet
meadow, and riparian scrub. The vegetated horizontal levee will provide wave attenuation as
well as sea level rise adaptation space for the adjacent marsh and refugia habitat for key species
such as the Salt Marsh Harvest Mouse. The Project will install an underground pipeline to
transport treated wastewater along Embarcadero and Harbor Roads to the horizontal levee for
irrigation of the native plants. On-going monitoring and community science opportunities are
currently being planned to ensure data obtained from this permanent pilot is available for use in
the larger flood control levee projects for Palo Alto as well as regionally. Most project costs have

WQ-24000 72-Inch Joint Intercepting Sewer Rehabilitation (Phase 1)
The 72-inch joint intercepting sewer measuring 8,964 linear feet was built in 1970 to convey flows
from Mountain View, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, and Palo Alto to the Plant. The 2,364 linear feet
of pipeline nearest the Plant is 72-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe, 25 feet below ground,
severely corroded, and needs immediate rehabilitation. This section of the pipeline will be
rehabilitated as part of Phase 1 of the 72-Inch Joint Intercepting Sewer Rehabilitation Project.
The City’s engineering consultant performed alternative analysis on different pipeline
rehabilitation methods. Cured in place pipe (CIPP) was determined to be the most cost-effective
rehabilitation method to strengthen the sewer pipe structurally and minimize site disturbance,
as there is no open cut trench with CIPP. The Utilities Department also uses CIPP lining on city
sanitary sewers. This project will involve inspection, cleaning, CIPP lining, and bypass pumping.
The project will require up to 5 months of field construction and up to 16 weeks of sewage
bypassing. Staff have been coordinating with Community Services Department staff throughout
design to minimize natural habitat disturbance and communicate with park visitors. The project
construction cost is approximately $6 million and will be repaid by partner agencies on a pay-as-
you-go agreement. Staff will return to Council in about fall 2023 for approval of the construction
contract and an Addendum No. 12 with Mountain View and Los Altos settling on terms for project
financing. Construction will be in spring and summer 2024 using a specialty contractor in large
diameter CIPP lining.

TITLE
Approval of Office of City Auditor Task Order Change - 04.16 ALPR Technology Contract
Management; CEQA Status – Not a Project
RECOMMENDATION
The Policy and Services Committee and City Auditor recommend that the City Council approve
the change to the Task Order 04.16 ALPR (Automated License Plate Reader) Technology Contract
Management to extend the period of performance.
ANALYSIS
This task order with the period of performance from January 1, 2023, to June 30, 2023, was fully
executed on January 20, 2023, and the audit was commenced in late January 2023. This audit
requires information gathering from multiple departments (Transportation, Human Resources,
and IT) and a contractor, Duncan Solutions. Although some departments responded to OCA’s
requests and questions in a timely manner, OCA has not been able to make progress on the audit
because OCA has not received the requested documentation and has been unable to conduct
walkthroughs after multiple follow-ups. OCA requests the period of performance to be extended
to October 31, 2023. The total not-to-exceed budget remains the same.
Baker Tilly presented the attached modified task order during the Policy & Service Committee
meeting on June 13, 2023 (CMR 2305-14631), where a motion to approve the task order change
was passed (3-0).

Item 23: Staff Report Pg. 4 Packet Pg. 794 of 911
Step 2 – Control Review and Testing
This step involves executing the procedures in the audit program to gather information,
interview individuals, and analyze the data and information to obtain sufficient evidence to
address the audit objectives. The preliminary audit objective is to: (1) Determine whether
adequate policies and procedures are implemented effectively to protect the privacy of
personal information gathered using ALPR technology for the City’s parking management.
(2) Determine whether the City monitors the vendor’s performance to ensure the compliance
with contract terms and applicable laws and regulations related to data privacy. Procedures
include, but not limited to:
Interview the appropriate individuals to understand the process, the information
system used, and the internal controls related to data privacy.
Compare data privacy related policies and procedures as well as the regulations and
standards to determine whether personally identifiable information (PII) has
confidentiality, integrity, and availability as needed.
Review IT vendor performance monitoring practices to determine whether controls
are implemented to ensure compliance with contract terms and data privacy
standards.
Perform test procedures including observations of controls (such as governance,
management and technical IT controls) and review of a sample of parking patrons
(PII during the audit period).
Compare the process and controls against the best practices.
Step 3 – Reporting
In Step 3, the project team will perform tasks necessary to finalize audit working papers,
prepare and review a draft report with the stakeholders, and submit a final audit report. Tasks
include:
Develop findings, conclusions, and recommendations based on the supporting
evidence gathered
Validate findings with the appropriate individuals and discuss the root cause of the
identified findings
Complete supervisory review of working papers and a draft audit report
Distribute a draft audit report and conduct a closing meeting with key stakeholders
o Discuss the audit results, finings, conclusions, and recommendations
o Discuss management responses
Obtain written management responses and finalize a report
Review report with members of City Council and/or the appropriate Council
Committee

and are not subject to a specific department or function (e.g., ethics)
• Significant Projects and Initiatives – risks associated with large projects (e.g., capital
projects, technology implementation) or City initiatives (e.g., employee engagement
initiative).
• Function Specific Risks – risks associated with a specific department or function
(e.g., procurement policy compliance)
After assembling a risk matrix, the project team will assess the likelihood and impact of
potential adverse events in order to quantitatively score each auditable area for purposes of
prioritizing audit activities.
Step 4 – Reporting
In Step 4, the project team will finalize the draft Risk Matrix and prepare a draft Risk
Assessment Report. The project team will ask for input (general completeness, risk scoring)
on the Risk Matrix from key project stakeholders. Upon finalization of the Risk Matrix, the
project team will finalize the Risk Assessment Report.

DESCRIPTION OF SCOPE OF SERVICES
Introduction
Attachment A, the Description of Scope of Services, contains the following four (4) elements:
• Services and Deliverables To Be Provided
• Schedule of Performance
• Maximum Compensation Amount and Rate Schedule (As Applicable)
• Reimbursable Expenses, if any (With “Not To Exceed” Amount)
Services & Deliverables
Baker Tilly’s approach to preparing the Annual Audit Plan involves two (2) primary steps:
• Step 1: Consultation with City Council and Management
• Step 2: Reporting
Step 1 – Consultation with City Council and Management
The Risk Matrix and Risk Assessment Report will serve as the primary drivers of the Annual
Audit Plan. The project team will initiate discussions over Risk Assessment results, potential
audit activities, and audit coverage with City Council and Management. The purpose of those
conversations will be to understand the priorities of City Council, and to develop a Draft
Annual Audit Plan:
The Draft Annual Audit Plan will identify the following components for each audit activity:
• Audit activity type – audit or consulting activity
• Audit objectives and scope
• Anticipated budget – both in terms of hours and budget
• Anticipated timeline
Step 2 – Reporting
The project team will present the Draft Annual Audit Plan to the City Council in order to
obtain input on each potential audit activity. Upon refining the plan, the project team will
finalize the Annual Audit Plan for presentation to City Council.
Deliverables
The following deliverable will be prepared as part of this engagement:

On May 30th, the Finance Committee (CMR 2304-13251) unanimously recommended the full Council
adopt the FY 2024 budget inclusive of the ‘Final Recommended Changes’ section of this memorandum,
and detailed by fund and department in Attachment A Exhibits 2 through 5. An updated salary schedule
for the Management, Professionals and Confidential Group is included in Attachment B to align with the
recommendations in attachment A.
The FY 2024 Adopted Budget will be $1.0 billion including the FY 2024 capital budget of $355.3 million
and $1.2 billion over the 2024-2028 five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). This is an increase of
approximately $40.1 million over the proposed budget, mainly due to reappropriation of funding for
continuing capital projects as well as funding added for Council Priorities as part of the budget review by
the Finance Committee and Council. This budget recommends citywide staffing levels to increase by
45.25 full-time equivalent positions (FTE) from the FY 2023 adopted level for a total authorized staffing
of 1,063.10 FTE in FY 2024. This is a net increase of 10.50 FTE from the proposed budget to address
Council Priorities and associated administrative support.
FY 2024 Review Process: Segmentation of Certain Stanford-related Matters
The California Political Reform Act (PRA) requires City officials to recuse themselves from matters where
it is foreseeable that the City’s decisions may have a material impact on a person or entity that is a
“financial interest” to that official, and allows the City to segment multi-part items, such as the City’s
budget, so that the parts of the item requiring a recusal are separated from the remaining parts of the
item. This year, Council Member Veenker, who provides legal services to Stanford University on life
sciences patent matters, will be recused from certain Stanford-related elements of the budget. Those
elements are listed in Attachment C. Council must consider and resolve the Attachment C items first.
Once these items have been resolved, Council Member Veenker will rejoin and the Council will review
and approve the remaining sections of the FY 2024 Operating and Capital Budgets and the Municipal Fee
Schedule.
Not included in this staff report is the approval of the FY 2024 Appropriations (GANN) Limit that is
required under Article XIIIB to the California State Constitution, as amended by proposition 98 in 1988
and Proposition 111 in 1990. The GANN Limit calculation is transmitted separately for City Council
consideration on June 19, 2023 (CMR 2304-1355). The appropriation calculation can be found on the
City’s website2 under the FY 2024 Budget Process section.
Links to the meetings with the Finance Committee and the City Council, as well as the memoranda,
presentations, and additional information provided for discuss can be found on the City’s website under
the FY 2024 Budget Process section.
BACKGROUND
Per the Municipal Code, the City Manager is charged with proposing a budget that provides a clear and
complete financial plan for all City activities proposed for the coming budget cycle, or fiscal year. The FY
2024 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets were released April 28, 2023 and transmitted to the City
Council on May 1, 2023. These documents represent the planned expenditures and revenues for FY
2024 for the various fund types that constitute 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 of
the revenues and expenses for each fund as well as for each individual department.
The FY 2024 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets were presented to the City Council in a study
session on May 1, 2023. This study session provided an overview of the budget for review and
discussion, including Citywide budget strategies, assumptions used in budget development, and a
summary of service investments. As part of this discussion, the City Council provided guidance to the
Finance Committee for their review of the budget documents during hearings on May 5, 9, and 30. The
Finance Committee review of operating and capital budgets is structured around public hearings
conducted prior to the City Council adoption to complete a detailed review of the budget documents
and to incorporate opportunities for community input into the decision-making process. These meeting
proceedings are organized by service area and include department presentations to highlight areas of
emphasis for their respective department and fund(s). Department by department, the Finance
Committee reviews individual budget sections for tentative approval of the budget, potential
amendments, and requests for additional information to aid in their review. At the conclusion of these
hearings (Budget Wrap-up), the Finance Committee is ultimately tasked to provide recommendations to
amend the Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets and Municipal Fee Schedule for City Council
consideration. These amendments, and additional information recommended for City Council review,
are included in this adoption memorandum.
In addition to the regular schedule, an additional study session on May 22 was held to check-in with the
City Council for their feedback before the final budget wrap meeting on May 30. At the study session,
the City Council reviewed the status of budget deliberations, including Finance Committee tentative
recommendations to add 20+ City Council priority projects that remained unfunded in the FY 2024
Proposed Operating Budget. These projects were outlined in the FY 2024 Proposed Budget Transmittal
Letter to advance City Council priorities identified for 2023: Economic Recovery & Transition, Climate
Change & Natural Environment, Housing for Social & Economic Balance, and Community Health &
Safety. A complete list of City Council priority projects, including Finance Committee recommendation
status, is included in the May 22 staff report (CMR 2305-1453, Attachment A3). Additionally, the City
Council reviewed Finance Committee recommendations to add revenue sources to offset the additional
costs, including proactively recognizing remaining estimated FY 2023 surplus (tax revenues, vacancy
savings, and unspent Homekey operating funds) and unallocated FY 2024 Measure K (business tax)
funds for housing and homeless services. These surplus funds would therefore no longer be available for
transfer to the Infrastructure Reserve or the proactive pension contributions.
Overall, Finance Committee recommendations tentatively added $9.0 million in revenues and $7.8
million in expenses, exceeding the $2.25 million City Council Priority Reserve established in the
proposed budget for this purpose. The City Council, during its review on May 22nd provided the feedback
that the Finance Committee reduce tentative adjustments by $1.0 million. The changes recommended
by the Finance Committee to address these savings are provided in this document and include reducing
or deferring several City Council priority projects based on factors such as staff capacity, expected
timelines to implement, and urgency of need. In addition, several recommendations are included to add
administrative staff to support the increased level of services recommended in the FY 2024 Budget. All

state or “new/next normal” and recommends using one-time surplus to bridge near-term shortfalls in FY
2024 and FY 2025 while investing in priority services, infrastructure, and saving for long-term liabilities.
In addition, the strategy recommends a measured approach of setting aside a higher BSR reserve and
limiting ongoing costs to mitigate the potential for greater future deficits.
The actions recommended in the FY 2024 Proposed Budget, along with the recommended changes from
Staff, Finance Committee, and Council through the budget review process will provide enhancements to
services across the City to address the 72 objectives identified by the Council to address the priorities for
FY 2023. Although City services are not fully returned to pre-pandemic levels in all aspects, rather than
simply bouncing back to pre-pandemic services, recommendations in this budget reflect adaptations of
service delivery to address changing conditions and community priorities.
Several areas of building and strengthening services include generational investments such as
supporting home electrification, transportation safety at railroad grade crossings, and fiber to the
premises are ongoing. The voter approved ballot measures solidified funding for critical public safety
needs such as 9-1-1 dispatch, police services, fire and emergency medical and hazardous materials
response, and community and library services.
One area of support that has been a concern over the past couple years, has been recruitment and
retention of staff to provide the programs and services approved by the Council. The FY 2024 Budget
supports the City’s commitment to be an Employer of Choice and to enable City departments to
effectively retain, recruit, and hire talent. The City has already experienced the reduction in turnover in
FY 2023 due to new labor agreements offering the workforce competitive total compensation and
benefits. Another key contributor to a high retention rate is the focus on fostering a positive work
environment, providing employees resources for training, professional development and growth
opportunities. The FY 2024 Budget increases staffing in the Human Resources Department as a strategy
to alleviate the recruitment demands, expedite hiring efforts, and focus on other areas of recruitment
such as building programs and systems to build and support a pipeline for future applicants.
Throughout the budget review process, addressing the Council priorities and objectives has been a key
factor in determining funding appropriation for FY 2024 and ongoing. Attachment D shows all 72 of the
objectives identified by the Council and shows which of these objectives are recommended to be
assigned financial resources as part of the FY 2024 Budget. Table 1 below, also details the changes
recommended by Staff, Finance Committee, and the Council. It should be noted that pursuing the
expansive range of services reflected in these priorities will test the City’s institutional capacity.
Overall, the enhancements reflected in this FY 2024 Budget will build and strengthen services
throughout the City, support continued workforce recruitment and retention efforts, and advance City
Council priority initiatives. While there are continued unknowns and uncertainties ahead, the FY 2024
Budget offers the Council, community, and staff reason for optimism that 2024 will continue progress to
address community priorities and continue robust City services that the community expects through
balanced financial strategies.
FY 2024 FINAL RECOMMENDED CHANGES
This section reviews amendments to the FY 2024 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets presented to
the City Council on May 1, including final adjustments recommended by the Finance Committee and
technical adjustments recommended by staff. A comprehensive list of these adjustments is included in

Attachment A, Exhibit 2 for changes to the FY 2024 Operating Budget, and Attachment A, Exhibit 3 for
changes to the FY 2024 Capital Budget. Changes to the Table of Organization are discussed later in this
memorandum, and an updated Table of Organization is included in Attachment A Exhibit 4.
OPERATING BUDGET – General Fund
The City’s General Fund is recommended to have $260.6 million in revenues and $279.1 million in
expenses. To balance the budget for FY 2024, one-time funding from the Council appropriated
Uncertainty Reserve, the Development Services Reserve, and the Budget Stabilization Reserve will be
used to fund service priorities. A total of $4.2 million in expenditures has been added to FY 2024
proposed funding levels to support Council priority programs that are listed below in Table 1.
Additionally, this change includes a technical correction for the transfer to the Capital Improvement
Fund, staffing resources for a Junior Museum and Zoo (JMZ) Access Coordinator approved on May 15,
2023 (CMR 2303-12006), and ongoing funding for a contract for Automatic Fire Extinguisher Systems
Inspection, Testing, and Repair Services approved on May 15, 2023 (CMR 2303-10787). Further
information about these items can be found in the Additional Staff Recommended Adjustments section
of this memorandum after Table 1
Overall, this reflects a $31.7 million, or 12.8 percent, increase compared to the FY 2023 Adopted Budget.
This includes an increase from the FY 2024 Proposed Budget of 10.50 FTE full-time staff (12.90 FTE in the
General Fund and –2.40 FTE in Capital Funds) and 1.71 FTE part-time staff (3.79 FTE in the General
Fund), resulting in an overall workforce of 1,063.10 full-time positions (586.06 FTE in the General Fund)
and 99.62 FTE part-time positions (75.77 FTE in the General Fund).
Uncertainty Reserve
As part of the FY 2024 Proposed Budget, Staff recommended using $3.9 million of the $14 million
Uncertainty Reserve, leaving $10.1 million in the Uncertainty Reserve for anticipated needs in FY 2025.
The $10.1 million remaining in the Uncertainty Reserve is recommended to fund the projected deficit in
FY 2025 ($7.3 million), maintain the BSR around 20% of the FY 2025 General Fund Expense budget ($1.7
million), and potentially fund items that were deferred from the FY 2024 budget to the FY 2024 Mid-
Year Review ($1.1 million)
Budget Stabilization Reserve
This FY 2024 Adopted Budget uses the Budget Stabilization Reserve to fund the $3.4 million deficit in FY
2024 resulting from the recommended adjustments outlined in this memorandum.
The FY 2024 Adopted Budget assumes a FY 2023 Year-End BSR of $57.7 million, this is above the $52.9
million assumed in the FY 2024 Proposed Budget. The Finance Committee recommends additional
savings be recognized in FY 2023 in order to fund service priorities in FY 2024. These increases include
$2.5 million in major tax revenue, $1.5 million in vacancy savings, and $1.0 million in Homekey
Operations savings.

The net impact from FY 2024 recommended actions reduces the BSR level by $3.4 million, resulting in a
projected FY 2024 year-end balance of $54.3 million. At proposed expense levels of $269.0 million, after
adjusting for the $10.1 million remaining in the Uncertainty Reserve, this BSR level is at 20.2%, at the top
of the Council’s recommended range of 15-20% of General Fund Expenditures. As noted in the proposed
budget, a BSR at the higher end of the target range is recommended as one tool to support the
continued economic uncertainty. (Exclusion of the Uncertainty Reserve for the two-year funding
strategy and has been done to avoid unintentional inflation of the BSR.)
Development Services Reserve Funding (DSRF)
The DSRF is intended to bridge unforeseen budget shortfalls and fund one-time expenses that build long
term capacity associated with the 100% cost recovery operations of the Development Center.
Additionally, this fund includes a balance for prior year works in progress in which fees have been paid
upfront for services that are expected to be completed in the subsequent fiscal year(s). The DSRF is used
to offset eligible expenses in this report for permitting and inspection work. This combined with
cumulative actions in the FY 2024 budget will bring this reserve’s remaining balance to approximately
$0.8 million.
Finance Committee Recommended Adjustments
Throughout budget hearings in May, the Finance Committee engaged in several meetings to review
proposed budget documents and recommend tentative adjustments. Table 1 provides an overview of
these adjustments at various touchpoints in the budget process, including:
1) tentative adjustments presented to the City Council at the May 22 study session;
2) changes identified on May 30 (budget wrap-up) to address City Council’s recommendation to
reduce adjustments by $1.0 million and defer to the FY 2024 Mid-Year Budget Review; and
3) final adjustments for budget adoption, as adjusted for changes at budget wrap-up.

consideration of these deferrals as part of the FY 2024 Mid-Year Budget review.
A summary of Finance Committee changes identified at budget wrap-up, including the $1.0 million net
reduction recommended by the City Council, is as follows:
•Align Measure K revenue with deferred projects: Unhoused Resident Services ($100,000) and
Short-term Rentals Regulation ($100,000)
•Reallocate $500,000 from Zoning Code Updates to the Downtown Housing Plan
•Recommend alternative Community Services proposal for visitor and art installation staffing at
the Art Center provided at the May 22 meeting ($11,000); previous recommendation added
funding for one but not both services
•Reduce funding for airplane noise by 25% ($25,000)
•Reallocate facilities maintenance costs from the Cubberley Infrastructure Fund to the General
Fund, reducing the initial reallocation from $900,000 to $530,000. Staff recommends further
revisions to increase the amount shifted to $623,000, as discussed below
•Defer the following projects: Full Electric Fleet Vehicle Replacement ($400,000), Sea Level Rise
and Adaptation ($200,000), Youth Mental Health Programs ($200,000), and Eucalyptus Tree
Removal ($400,000)
•Add funding for the United Nations Association Film Festival (UNAFF) ($25,000)
•Add staffing and resources for administrative support of the additional projects and programs:
purchasing ($200,000), legal ($290,000), and recruiting ($190,000)
•Recognize savings for expected delays to hire Tier 2 staff ($185,000)
All deferred projects will be considered for investment as part of the FY 2024 Midyear Budget process.

Additional Recommended Adjustments
In addition to Finance Committee recommended adjustments, staff has included recommendations to
adjust several items requiring technical corrections to align the budget with anticipated activity levels
and changes that occurred following the release of the FY 2024 budget.
Junior Museum and Zoo (JMZ) Access Coordinator Staffing
Consistent with CMR 2303-12009, which was approved by Council on May 15, 2023, this action adds one
Staff Specialist (0.48 FTE) position in the JMZ. The Access Coordinator will identify surrounding
communities that have cultural or economic barriers to utilizing the services of the Museum. This
position will forge new, and strengthen existing, relationships with the purpose of developing strategies
to increase the number of people that utilize the museum’s services. Funding for the position will be
provided to the City by the Friends of the JMZ for two years.
Cubberley Facility Maintenance and Upkeep
The Cubberley Fund has approximately $900,000 in operating and maintenance costs in FY 2024,
including salary and benefits for custodial and maintenance staff, maintenance contracts, landscaping
services, and supplies and materials. In initial hearings, the Finance Committee tentatively
recommended to reallocate the full $900,000 from the Cubberley Infrastructure Fund to the General
Fund. As discussed in budget hearings, the reallocation intends to preserve funding in the Cubberley
Property Infrastructure Fund for capital and facility upkeep-related expenditures at the Cubberley
Property and shift ongoing operating costs for custodial, landscaping, and routine maintenance to the
General Fund.
At the May 30 (budget wrap-up) meeting, and based on revised costing analysis, staff recommended
reducing the initial Finance Committee action by $370,000, from $900,000 to $530,000. With this
change, costs for custodial staffing and landscaping services would be shifted from the Cubberley Fund
to the General Fund. As part of follow-up for budget adoption, the Finance Committee recommended
further adjustments to shift more costs to the General Fund. Staff recommends including shifting costs
for routine maintenance contracts, increasing the total shift from the Cubberley Fund to the General
Fund by $93,000, from $530,000 to $623,000. Additional information relating to the Cubberley Fund can
be found in the at-places memo issued on May 9 and study session on May 22.
Transfer to Capital Improvement Fund
A technical adjustment is needed to correctly categorize funding transferred to the Capital Improvement
Fund for Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) Revenue designated for capital improvements. As part of the FY
2024 Proposed Budget, a transfer to the Capital Improvement Fund of $0.5 million was incorrectly
categorized as a transfer to the General Fund. This action corrects this and increases the transfer to the
Capital Improvement Fund by $0.5 million from $11.9 million to $12.4 million. The transfer was
categorized correctly in the Capital Improvement Fund, so this only changes expenses in the General
Fund.

Automatic Fire Extinguisher Systems Inspection, Testing, and Repair Services
Consistent with CMR 2303-107810, which was approved by Council on May 15, 2023, this action adds
ongoing annual funding in the Public Works Department in the amount of $95,825 annually for a three-
year General Services contract with Johnson Controls Fire Protection to provide automatic fire
extinguishing systems inspection, testing, and repair services.
Business Tax Support and Administration
Consistent with CMR 2304-1337, presented to Council on June 19, 2023, this net-neutral action
recognizes and appropriates funding for Business Tax Support and Administration. Funding will be used
for both contract services for business tax consulting as well as staff resources to administer the
business tax program. In FY 2024 overstrength positions will be used to support the program and
determine the appropriate position classifications needed. Staffing adjustments to the Table of
Organization will be formalized in a subsequent budget process. Measure K revenue will be recognized
and appropriated to fund administration of collection and reporting of the business tax revenue.
Homeless Outreach Funding
Consistent with CMR 2305-1588, presented to Council on June 19, 2023, this action increases funding
for homeless outreach services to unhoused individuals for a two-year period. Services will include
regular street outreach to locate and engage with unhoused individuals where they are in the Palo Alto
area, to build trust, increase awareness of services and resources, improve neighbor relations, act as a
resource to local businesses, and, when feasible, connect them with support services including shelter,
housing, government benefits, mental health, substance abuse treatment, or employment training
among other needs. Additionally, a small portion of the outreach team’s time will be spent on Stanford
University land as part of a revenue agreement between Stanford and the City. Revenue from the
Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) and Stanford University will offset the costs associated with
these services.
OPERATING BUDGET – Enterprise Funds
Airport Fund – Reclassification of Facilities Technician to Airport Specialist II
This action reclassifies 2.50 FTE Facilities Technician to 2.50 FTE Airport Specialist II. It is recommended
by staff to align the classification title with the most recent updates in Service Employees International
Union (SEIU) agreement (CMR 2301-071911). There are no cost implications to this adjustment.
Electric Fund – Northern California Power Agency (NCPA) Revenue Adjustment
This technical action removes revenue estimates of $24 million in the Electric Fund from the Northern
California Power Agency (NCPA) in FY 2024, as it relates to the litigation of the Central Valley Project
Improvement Act (CVPIA) operated by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. Staff expects to receive this
payment prior to FY 2023 year-end; therefore, the revenue estimate in FY 2024 is no longer needed.

Electric, Gas, and Water Funds – Sustainability and Climate Action Plan (S/CAP) Staffing Plan Alignment
Staff recommends a realignment of staffing to oversee the S/CAP staffing resources to better support
this Council priority and the upcoming three-year workplan. Recently, the Council approved the addition
of two staff positions, 1.0 Senior Engineer and 1.0 Principal Resource Planner in the Public Works and
Utility Departments. Staff recommends the elimination of these positions offset by the addition of 1.0
Assistant Director Sustainability and Climate Action position and 1.0 Engineer position in the Public
Works Department. This will consolidate and unify resources between these departments. There is no
impact to the General Fund as this staffing is funded by various utility funds and the add/delete of these
positions is cost neutral in FY 2024. This action includes a new job classification for the Assistant Director
Sustainability and Climate Action position. A revised salary schedule for the Management, Professional
and Confidential group is included in this report to recognize this change (Attachment B).
OPERATING BUDGET – Other Funds
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Fund – FY 2024 Annual Action Plan
Consistent with City Council approval on May 1, 2023 (CMR 2302-098012), staff has included
corresponding adjustments in the FY 2024 budget to include the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) program funding allocation for the FY 2024 Annual Action Plan. These actions include CDBG Fund
recognition of revenue comprised of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding and program
income and appropriation of commensurate expenses to be allocated to non-profit organizations per
recommendations by the Human Relations Commission (HRC). Further information about this program
can be found in CMR 2302-0980.
Gas Tax Fund – Gas Tax Revenue Reduction
This action is a technical update to decrease Gas Tax revenue estimates for Palo Alto based on the
California Department of Finance’s May 2023 updates for estimated Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA)
and Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) taxes for FY 2024. This also decreases the
transfer to the Streets Maintenance capital project (PE-86070), which is discussed below in the Capital
Budget section of this report.
General Benefits Fund – Healthcare and Pension Pass-through Expenses
This net neutral action increases the estimate for charges to other funds by $1.4 million due to staffing
increases in the FY 2024 Proposed Budget and as recommended by Finance Committee and City Council
as part of the FY 2024 Adopted Budget. During budget hearings, the Finance Committee and City Council
recommended significant adjustments to the FY 2024 Proposed Budget to restore staffing in service
areas such as Community, Library, Public Safety, and Planning, and the administrative staff necessary to
support these functions. The General Benefits Fund acts as a pass-through for pension and healthcare
costs; therefore, staff recommends this technical action to increase expenditures correspondingly,
keeping the fund in alignment with staffing levels.

CAPITAL BUDGET
The City’s Capital Improvement Plan reflects a $355.3 million FY 2024 budget, and a $1.2 billion plan
over the five-year CIP (FY 2024-FY 2028). Of this, the Capital Improvement Fund FY 2024 budget reflects
expected expense of $133.1 million and $440.6 million over the five-year CIP.
Capital Reappropriations
The Municipal Code requires City Council authorization to reappropriate funds for capital projects from
one fiscal year to the next. The FY 2024 budget process continues this procedure, and the FY 2024
Proposed Capital Budget included approximately $127.8 million in reappropriated funds for project
expenditures across all funds. In the time since the FY 2024 Proposed Budget, Staff refined the FY 2023
estimated project activity levels and provided further updates to increase the reappropriations by $36.1
million, to $163.9 million across all funds. The additional reappropriation adjustments are summarized
in Attachment A, Exhibit 3.
Other Capital Project Adjustments
In addition to the reappropriations from FY 2023 to FY 2024, several capital projects need to be adjusted
based on updated information that became available after the release of the FY 2024 Proposed Capital
Budget or as a result of actions recommended in this memorandum. These adjustments, including two
new capital projects in the Capital Improvement Fund and the Electric Fund, are discussed below and
summarized in Attachment A, Exhibit 2.
Capital Improvement Fund
-NEW PROJECT - Mitchell Park Library Repair (PE-24006) – A vehicular accident in January 2023
damaged the Mitchell Park Library building. Due to the extent of the damages, a new capital
project is recommended to hire a structural consultant to review the impact zone and structural
impact, a design consultant to prepare construction drawings to repair the building, and award a
construction contract to perform the repairs. Full expenses are not known at this time, and
$250,000 is only an estimate to start the assessment of the damage and initial design work. Staff
will update the project budget once structural assessment and design are completed, and
coordinate with insurance to ensure all expenses are reimbursed.
-Street Maintenance (PE-86070) – The budget has been reduced by $132,987 annually to align
with the California Department of Finance’s May 2023 updates for estimated 2023-24 Gas Tax
Revenue. Gas Tax revenue can fluctuate; this reduction is not anticipated to impact work
planned in this project over the 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Plan.
Fiber Fund
-Fiber Optics Network System Rebuild (FO-16000) – A technical correction that increases the
budget by $0.4 million to $13.0 million in FY 2024 is recommended to align funding with
Council’s approval of the total $26 million for the dark fiber rebuild project.
-Fiber-to-the-Premises (FO-24000) – Funding in the amount of $8.0 million is recommended to
be reallocated from FY 2024 to FY 2025, leaving $12.0 million in FY 2024 to align funding with
the most updated project timeline.

Gas Fund
-Gas Equipment and Tools (GS-13002) – A technical correction is recommended to increase the
budget by $50,000 to $100,000 annually to align funding with Council’s approval of the FY 2024
Gas Financial Plan and ensure timely replacement of aging equipment.
Vehicle Replacement & Maintenance Fund
-Scheduled Vehicle and Equipment Replacement - Fiscal Year 2024 (VR-24000) – The budget is
recommended to be increased by $80,000 to support the Fire Department’s purchase of a Utility
Task Vehicle (UTV) designed for off-road rescue in areas that would otherwise only be accessible
by foot.
TABLE OF ORGANIZATION
During budget hearings and in subsequent City Council meetings, the Finance Committee and City
Council recommended staffing adjustments. A more detailed description of these actions is included in

SUMMARY OF FISCAL YEAR 2024 RATE CHANGES (no action needed)
An overview of the rate changes was reviewed and approved by the Utilities Advisory Commission (UAC)
and Finance Committee in April 2023. These rate changes are included in the FY 2024 budget
assumptions. This section references those changes for informational purposes only; a separate report
recommending final rate changes will be considered by the City Council on June 19, 2023 (CMR 2302-
093914).
•-5.0% rate change for Electric (recommended by UAC and Finance Committee);
•4.9% CPI increase for Fiber (recommended by UAC and Finance Committee);
•8.0% rate increase for Gas (recommended by UAC and Finance Committee);
•0.0% rate change for Refuse;
•4.9% CPI increase for Stormwater (recommended by UAC and Finance Committee);
•9.0% rate change for Wastewater (recommended by UAC and Finance Committee); and
•5.0% rate change for Water (recommended by UAC and Finance Committee)
The size and timing of rate adjustments are impacted by current and future revenue requirements to
purchase commodities, provide customer service, plan for and invest in capital infrastructure, and
maintain adequate reserve levels.
The Finance Committee tentatively approved the rate changes listed above including the -5.0% decrease
for Electric rates due to receipt of the Bureau of Reclamation (CVPIA) Litigation Revenue; the 4.9% CPI
increase for Fiber customers on the EDF-1 rate in accordance with the original dark fiber leasing
agreement; the 8.0% increase for Gas to cover the substantial increases in Capital costs and to support
regular main replacement; 4.9% CPI increase for Stormwater, consistent with the 2017 Storm Water
Management Fee ballot measure, to keep fund revenues consistent with inflationary cost increases and
to provide sufficient funds for planned Stormwater Management capital and operating expenditures;
the 9.0% increase for Wastewater Collection due to increasing Capital costs in Wastewater Collection
and at the Regional Water Quality Control Plant; and the 5.0% increase for Water, which consists of a
2.0% distribution increase and a 9.7% commodity cost pass-through increase from the San Francisco
Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC).
REVIEW OF REFERRAL ITEMS FROM THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
During the Budget Hearings, certain items were approved that require a longer timeline to return to the
City Council and are recommended to be placed in the “long-term parking lot.” The list below is
reflective of the final referral items from the Budget Hearings that the City Council has directed staff to
follow-up with additional work throughout FY 2024.
1.Human Services Resource Allocation Process (HSRAP) Funding
Consider pegging HSRAP budget allocations to a benchmark, such as percentage of General Fund
budgeted expenditures.

RESOURCE IMPACT
This report summarizes and seeks the City Council approval of the FY 2024 Operating and Capital
Budgets, the supporting fee schedules, and table of organization in order to support the projections and
appropriations included.
The approval of the City Manager’s FY 2024 Capital and Operating Budget, as recommended to be
amended in this report, would result in a projected General Fund Budget Stabilization Reserve of $54.3
million. At proposed expense levels of $269.0 million, after adjusting for the $10.1 million remaining in
the Uncertainty Reserve, this BSR level is at 20.2%, slightly above the top of the Council’s recommended
range of 15-20% of General Fund Expenditures. Exclusion of the Uncertainty Reserve for the two-year
funding strategy and has been done to avoid unintentional inflation of the BSR. The projected changes
to the fund balance for all other funds including Enterprise Funds, Internal Services Funds, Special
Revenue Funds, and Capital Funds are outlined in Attachment A and accompanying exhibits and impacts
to fund balance summarized as follows:

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
The budget process is structured around public hearings conducted before City Council adoption to
complete a detailed review of the budget documents and incorporate opportunities for community
input in the decision-making process. The community was encouraged to engage with the budget
process through scheduled public meetings with the Finance Committee and City Council, a community
informational session with City staff, and direct emails to the City Manager and City Council.

potential collaboration opportunity with California Polytechnic
State University students to draft a working concept of a San
Antonio CAP. This initial funding will support related travel,
research, consultant and/or part‐time staff for these efforts. The
working concept is a starting point for the larger CAP process,
which is still estimated at $700,000 over three to four years,
although the ultimate cost of each plan will depend on size and
complexity. Revenue from Measure K for housing and homeless
services will be recognized to offset these costs.

Consistent with Finance Committee direction, this action adds two

that is expected to be unsustainable long‐term. Current staffing
levels are less than the departmental recommended minimum
staffing model and established Department policy in order to reach
pre‐pandemic levels. Palo Alto dispatchers require more
specialized training due to answering calls to service to police, fire,
and medical emergencies, in which some neighboring jurisdictions,
dispatchers would only answer calls from one or two service areas.

TITLE
Review and Recommend to Council to Approve the FY 2024 Proposed Municipal Fee Schedule
Amendments as Part of the FY 2024 Budget
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Finance Committee review amendments to the Municipal Fee
Schedule for FY 2024 and make recommendations to Council for incorporation into the FY 2024
budget.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report presents the annual update to over 960 fees as part of the budget process. It
highlights proposed changes to the FY 2024 Municipal Fee Schedule, which include 19 new fees
for the Community Services Department and Office of Transportation, deletion of 3 fees in the
Office of Transportation, and 237 fee adjustments. It is based on the general premise of exception
reporting, which is reflected in the practice of applying a General Rate of Increase (GRI) to fees
to keep up with the cost of service, new service delivery or changes to service delivery, and
changes in cost recovery levels, and reporting out any fees that are proposed to stay the same or
change by an amount other than the GRI of 7.5% for FY 2024. Recommended approval will be
incorporated in the FY 2024 budget process and ultimately result in the fees for FY 2024 services.
BACKGROUND
The City charges fees for a variety of services provided, such as fees for photocopies, building
inspection services, and room rentals. As part of the annual budget process, staff submit changes
to the Municipal Fee Schedule for review, followed by final approval during City Council’s budget
adoption.
In FY 2013, staff completed a cost of services study for most departments. Results from that study
set the standards used by departments to review and calculate the City’s expenditures linked to
a particular fee activity to determine the fee amount and cost recovery level. These expenditures
represent the budgeted cost of staff time including salaries and benefits, related non-salary
expenditures, department and citywide cost allocations to recuperate costs for department

management oversight and internal support functions (e.g. purchasing, payroll, human
resources).
Since its adoption in FY 2015, the User Fee Cost Recovery Level Policy has served as a guide for
departments to update fees by ensuring proper alignment with user cost recovery levels. To
maintain this alignment, departments periodically conduct an in-depth fee analysis or undergo a
fee study. The Policy was last updated by Council in June 2019.1
Table 1: Summary of Municipal Fee Cost Recovery Policy
This annual report brings forward amendments to the Municipal Fee Schedule organized into
three categories:
(1) New fees,
(2) Deletion of existing fees, and

(3) Changed fees to attain a cost recovery level consistent with other fees or based on a
market study for similar services.
DISCUSSION
The development of the Municipal Fee Schedule for FY 2024 reflects department service
realignments, as most fees across the City have been updated to maintain cost recovery levels.
The average increase of salaries and benefits from FY 2023 to FY 2024 was 7.5% and is the general
rate of increase that is applied to most fees to maintain current cost recovery levels, as directed
by the policy. Fees that were updated by a factor greater or lesser than 7.5% to realize a higher
cost recovery level, or were adjusted based on a fee study, market study, or staff
recommendation are further detailed in Attachment A. Budget proposals that will be discussed
by the Finance Committee and City Council that result in an impact to fees have been identified
and considered in staff’s analysis of fees.
New Fees
As identified in Table 2 below, nineteen (19) new fees are recommended to be added to the FY
2024 Municipal Fee Schedule for the Community Services Department (14 fees) and Office of
Transportation (five fees).
Community Services Department recommended additions:
• Twelve fees for veterinary services for cats and dogs
• One fee for community center rental lighting
• One fee for camp rentals
Office of Transportation recommended additions:
• Five fees for on-demand transportation and parking fares/passes

using City staff. While the City no longer directly administers these services, the fees may still be
included in the Municipal Fee Schedule. Changes to these fees are based on the contract terms,
such as Community Services animal shelter fees, which were changed based on the market value
for providing animal care services or held at the same level at the shelter operator’s
recommendation; Community Services golf course fees, which are adjusted to align with the
upper and lower limits of the course’s dynamic, demand-based pricing model. Since these fees
are governed by the contract through which partner agencies or vendors provide the service,
they are discussed in Attachment B.
Parking In-Lieu fees
Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC) Chapter 16.57.0302 requires that the Parking In-Lieu Fee be
recalculated in the event the City Council approved the construction of a public parking structure.
Per the Municipal Code, the fee shall be adjusted at the time the construction contract is awarded
to include actual costs to date, plus the projected construction cost, and authorized contingency.
A second recalculation must occur after the project is completed, based on actual design and
construction costs incurred. The recalculated fee may be higher or lower than the initial fee.
In December 2018, Council awarded a construction contract to Swinerton Builders3 for the
California Avenue Area Parking Garage. The total project cost was calculated per PAMC
16.57.0302 and includes design costs plus additional services, the construction bid with
authorized contingency, and all other staff and administrative costs incurred. This calculation was
done and approved as part of the FY 2020 budget development process4. The cost per parking
space was calculated at $106,171 for the FY 2020 Adopted Municipal Fee Schedule. The California
Avenue Parking Garage was completed and opened in December 2020. Staff has completed all
project close-out documents and recalculated the Parking In-Lieu Fee at $105,811. After adding
the appropriate construction cost indexes for the San Francisco Bay Area for FY 2021 through FY

2023, the revised fee was set at $124,275. Adding the respective construction cost index for FY
2024 brings the fee to $130,823.
Development Impact and In-Lieu Fees
In the Planning and Development Services Department, impact fees (i.e., community center,
park, library, and citywide transportation impact fees) and in-lieu fees (parking and housing in-
lieu, parkland dedication) were increased by 5.27% to reflect the most recently published
Construction Cost Index (CCI) for the San Francisco Bay Area, as calculated by the Engineering
News Record. This is in accordance with Municipal Code 16.64.1105, as amended on November
28, 20166, to standardize when these fees are paid, bring uniformity to the calculation in effect,
bring uniformity to the annual adjustment rate, and other updates. Since these fees are governed
by the applicable Municipal Code section, they are not discussed in Attachment A.
The Park, Library, and Community Center impact fee increases proposed for FY 2024 do not yet
reflect the changes that Council approved on June 13, 20227, including (1) new fee categories; (2)
increased land valuation for new park acquisition; and (3) a square foot basis (instead of a per
housing unit basis) to calculate the fees. The Council directed staff to conduct and economic
feasibility study before implementing these changes. The economic feasibility study has not been
completed, and staff will return to Council upon completion. The fees can be updated upon an
amendment to the Municipal Fee Schedule.
FISCAL IMPACT
This action aligns fees with expense increases associated with these services. It works to ensure
the City can maintain cost recovery levels, and is part of the FY 2024 Proposed Operating Budget.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
These recommendations are consistent with existing City policies. Where a fee or charge is
subject to Proposition 26, the amount of the new or increased fee or charge is no more than
necessary to cover the reasonable cost of the City service, and the manner in which those costs
are allocated to a payer bears a fair and reasonable relationship to the payer’s burden on, or
benefits received from, the City service funded by the fee. Certain types of fees, such as fines,
penalties and/or late charges, or charges imposed for entrance to or use of, as well as the
purchase, rental, or lease of local government property, are expressly exempted from the
requirements of Proposition 26. These types of fees are more typically governed by local market
rates, reasonableness, and potentially other policy factors.

Meeting Date: June 19, 2023
Report #:2304-1355
TITLE
Adoption of a Resolution Proposing the Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2024
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council adopt the attached Resolution determining the Appropriations
Limit for Fiscal Year 2024 (Attachment A). The City's Fiscal Year 2024 appropriations are
estimated to be $53.86 million under the limit based on the Fiscal Year 2024 Budget, as
recommended to the City Council for review and adoption on June 19, 2023.
BACKGROUND
California voters approved an initiative on November 6, 1979 that added Article XIIIB to the State
Constitution, as amended by Proposition 98 in 1988 and Proposition 111 in 1990. The provisions
of this article place limits on the amount of revenue that can be appropriated by all entities of
government. The appropriation limit is based on actual appropriations during the 1978-1979
fiscal year, as increased each year using specified population and inflationary growth factors. The
original legislation implementing the provisions of Article XIIIB became effective January 1, 1981.
In accordance with that legislation, the governing body of each government jurisdiction must, by
resolution, establish its annual appropriation limit for the coming year (prior to July 1) at a
regularly scheduled meeting or noticed special meeting. Based on Article XIIIB, the City of Palo
Alto can use the larger of two measurements of population growth, (county or city population
growth) in the appropriations limit calculation. For Fiscal Year 2024, the City is using the 2022-
2023 percent change in population growth of the County of Santa Clara in the calculation. The
City typically uses the highest factor in order to provide maximum appropriation flexibility.
ANALYSIS
The appropriations limit is adjusted annually on the basis of population and per capita income
changes provided annually by the California Department of Finance. This updated information is
received from the California Department of Finance in May, after the City's proposed budget has
been submitted to Council. Attached is the final appropriations limit calculation, based on the
Item 30

updated information as well as allowable appropriation limit adjustment factors such as voter-
approved debt and capital outlay expenditures. The appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 2024 is
$211.80 million for funds subject to the appropriation limits. The City's Fiscal Year 2024 budgeted
appropriations are estimated to be $53.86 million under the limit. As required by State law,
documentation used to compute the appropriations limit has been made available to the public
at least fifteen days prior to the Council meeting at which the appropriations limit is being
adopted, and notice was published of the availability of these materials.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
The adoption of the Fiscal Year 2024 Appropriations Limit has no impact on City resources.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
A public notice was provided on June 2, 2023 stating the availability of the calculation materials
on the City’s website, and that the Appropriations Limit is being adopted on June 19, 2023.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Council action on this item is not a project as defined by CEQA because establishing the Fiscal
Year 2024 appropriations limit is a government funding mechanisms or fiscal activity which
does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially
significant physical impact on the environment. CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4).

FY 2024 Adopted Appropriations Limit
On November 6, 1979, California voters approved Proposition 4, an initiative that added Article XIIIB to the state Constitution. The
provisions of this article place limits on the amount of revenue that can be appropriated by all entities of government. The
Appropriations Limit is based on actual appropriations during the 1978-1979 fiscal year, as increased each year using specified
population and inflationary growth factors.
The City of Palo Alto remains well within its appropriations limit in FY 2024. Future year limit trends can be made based on the
average change in regional population and income growth. The appropriations subject to limitation includes proceeds of
taxes from the General Fund, Capital Projects Fund, and Special Revenue Funds.

CITY COUNCIL
Colleague’s Memo
Sponsor(s): Council Member Burt, Mayor Kou, and Vice Mayor
Stone
Subject: Authority to Form Friendship Cities
Meeting Date: June 19, 2023
Report #: 2306-1672
TITLE
Colleagues Memo: Approval of a “Friendship City” Program
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Palo Alto has long benefited from its Sister City and Sibling City relationships through
sustainability, economic development, innovation practices, student exchanges, academia, and
cultural relationships. International engagement with Palo Alto is frequent at multiple levels
including government, business, community, and education. When a local government has
sought to formalize an interchange, the approach has been through a formal Sister City
agreement, and more recently a domestic Sibling City agreement.
City Staff and Council Members periodically receive invitations to develop relationships from
cities. However, these relationships have not been pursued because Council action, staff and
Neighbors Abroad support and resources would be required.
In addition to sister-city relationships, some U.S. cities have developed a “Friendship City”
program including Menlo Park, Redwood City, Cupertino, San Antonio TX, and Portsmouth NH.
This is a more modest engagement between cities that does not require significant
commitments by the city or local non-profit. This model is recognized also by Sister Cities
International, the governing body of Palo Alto’s Sister Cities:
The terms “sister city” and “friendship city” sometimes have different meanings.
Generally speaking, friendship cities are less formal than sister cities. In some cities,
“friendship city” is often used as a first stage in the relationship, and after it is
strengthened, and the partners are sure they want a long-term relationship they will
become “sister cities.”
Palo Alto’s international engagement is supported by Neighbors Abroad, Inc. Neighbors Abroad
is a 501(c)(3) organization that, with annual funding from the City of Palo Alto together with
donations from the community, supports international engagement. Their Board has endorsed
the development of Friendship City agreements within the following parameters:
Item AA1
Item AA1 Colleagues
Memo
Item AA1: Staff Report Pg. 1 Packet Pg. 908 of 911
“To develop a revenue neutral relationship for a fixed term called a Friendship City, led
by a community member who will take responsibility for the relationship and become a
board member of Neighbors Abroad.”
After discussions with Neighbors Abroad, as well as reviewing Friendship City programs
nationally, the following framework is proposed for a Friendship City agreement with Palo Alto:
- A local volunteer that would commit across the term of the Friendship City;
- A statement document that sets a description of the prospective Friendship City,
expected activities with the Friendship City, and a rationale for formation which
comports with Neighbors Abroad’s policy for Friendship Cities;
- Endorsement by the President of Neighbors Abroad;
- Acceptance by the City Council member serving as liaison to Neighbors Abroad; and
- Endorsement by the Mayor and Vice-Mayor, and Council approval of the Agreement
after placement on the Consent Calendar.
Different from a Sister City relationship, a Friendship City Agreement would be limited to three
years, subject to Council renewal. The Agreement allows for a test of time, and if the
relationship waivers, the agreement would not be renewed. A draft agreement is attached.
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to extend the authority to enter into Friendship City relationships
subject to the conditions in this Colleagues’ Memo. Upon execution of any Friendship City
Agreement, the Agreement shall be provided to Neighbors Abroad to support implementation.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
The fiscal and resource impact for this proposal can vary widely, and as such staff believes it
should not be considered insignificant nor fully defined at this time. Anticipated activities or
resources likely needed include the following:
- Staff resources to coordinate requests for new Friendship Cities. Staff resources to
coordinate details for formal agreement signings and celebrations.
- Staff coordination and participation by applicable staff (City Manager’s Office, City
Clerk’s Office, and various departments with topic expertise) in relationship building, as
well as development and production of discussion topics before, during, and after
delegation visits.
- Communications efforts to coordinate with Friendship Cities and Neighbors Abroad
representatives to publicize events and other milestones.
- Staff resources to coordinate Councilmember-related efforts for the Friendship City,
including developing any formal letters, commendations, or gifts needed related to the
Friendship City and associated logistics.
- Providing financial and staff support for City financial resources provided to Neighbors
Abroad for reception hosting for visiting delegations.
Item AA1
Item AA1 Colleagues
Memo
Item AA1: Staff Report Pg. 2 Packet Pg. 909 of 911
The actual amount of time needed for the items above varies. Without dedicated staffing and
budget allocation for international relations work, these items are spread among existing staff.
Depending on the amount of time needed for these activities, existing staff must redirect time
away from other council priorities and assignments to accomplish these tasks. This includes the
staff and City Council time that may be needed to develop this program.
As noted above, Friendship City relationships are a first stage in connecting two cities together.
For the City of Palo Alto, most of the existing eight (8) Sister City and one (1) Sibling City
relationships started off as something informal either between Palo Alto neighbors and
colleagues in an international city, or as an early agreement to test a relationship before
formalizing. Without clarity as to what Friendship Cities should expect from Palo Alto over time,
and the anticipated guidance for expansion of Palo Alto’s program, the City should logically
expect situations where the Friendship Cities seek to become more formally connected to Palo
Alto as additional Sister Cities with the associated resource expectations.
Should the Council wish to proceed with growth in international relations activities reflected in
the establishment of this new program, staff recommends that the parameters guiding the
City’s involvement be set forth in writing through the Council’s Procedures and Protocols
Handbook. It would also be prudent to establish appropriate monitoring of international
relations activities through a budget line item for this purpose.
It should further be noted that the City of Palo Alto receives many inquiries and requests to
establish relationships with cities around the world. As such, while Palo Alto may intend only a
modest time and other resource allocation to these relationships, these communities often
place a high priority to the relationship, and this is reflected in the level of effort, attention, and
expense invested into the relationship. This dynamic creates situations where reciprocation is
expected and difficult to avoid.
