STUDY SESSION
2. From Infrastructure Committee: Preliminary Survey Findings.
Dave Metz, Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz, and Associates, presented key
findings from the infrastructure finance survey. He conducted 603
interviews with Palo Alto voters who, based on past voting behavior, were
considered likely to vote in the next election. Surveys were conducted at
the end of April through the beginning of May, 2013. The survey was
designed to be a preliminary survey, and survey findings were not
determinative of Council action. The survey was compiled based on industry
best practices, consultations with Staff, and Council direction. Local voters
had an overwhelmingly favorable impression of City government, but
reported only a modest need for infrastructure improvements in the City.
When presented with conceptual descriptions of potential packages of
infrastructure improvements, two-thirds of voters were willing to support

Final Minutes: 6/24/13
some of those packages, particularly in the areas of transportation and
public safety. Approximately two-thirds of voters were willing to tax
themselves to finance infrastructure improvements. With respect to
financing a Public Safety Building, public support did not reach the two-
thirds threshold. Approximately two-thirds of voters supported bond
measures or an increase in the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) to finance
infrastructure improvements. An increase of the documentary transfer tax
and of the business license tax achieved majority support. An increase in
the parcel tax, sales tax and utility user's tax was supported by less than
half of voters. Approximately half of respondents saw some need to fund
improvements for parks, streets, sidewalks and police and fire stations;
however, only 10 percent of respondents saw a great need to fund those
improvements. Approximately two-thirds of voters generally supported
improvements for public safety, transportation or a combination of the two.
More than a majority but less than two-thirds of voters supported parks and
recreation and core infrastructure. Less than half of voters supported parks,
playgrounds and playfields; facilities to support community service
organizations; and restoration of historic buildings. A streets, sidewalks and
trails measure and a public safety measure were strongly supported by
approximately 40 percent of voters. Voters were likely to be receptive to
packaging of improvements. Voters reported transportation and public
safety projects should have the highest priority. Slightly more than half of
voters would support a Public Safety Building constructed through City only
financing or through a public-private partnership. A majority of respondents
opposed proposed parking facilities, Animal Services Center, restoration of
the Roth Building, and new playing fields and recreational facilities. Two-
thirds of voters in principle supported a tax or bond measure to fund
infrastructure improvements. Approximately three-fourths of voters were
willing to pay $100 per year; 53 percent were willing to pay $200 per year;
48 percent were willing to pay $250 per year. These statistics provided the
Council with an approximation of the public's willingness to pay for
infrastructure improvements.
Herb Borock suggested all electric customers pay the full 5 percent utility
users' tax in order to raise revenue for infrastructure improvements.
CITY MANAGER COMMENTS
James Keene, City Manager, announced Jonathan Reichental, Chief
Information Officer, was awarded the Bay Area's Community Champion
Award. A groundbreaking ceremony for the Main Library was scheduled for
June 25, 2013 at 2:00 P.M. The Policy and Services Committee would
review a draft Ordinance regulating vehicle habitation at 6:00 P.M. in the
Council Chambers on June 25, 2013. Staff was working with Santa Clara

Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) and Stanford University regarding a
lease for VTA's use of the Transit Center. Street tree maintenance would be
conducted along University Avenue through mid-August 2013.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Herb Borock spoke regarding the Policy and Services Committee
consideration of the Ordinance prohibiting human habitation of vehicles on
Tuesday, June 25, 2013. He suggested that in lieu of having a total ban on
habitation in vehicles that the same types of restrictions could be applied to
human habitation of vehicles as was with oversized vehicles. He discussed a
previous attempt to ban parking on Encina Avenue near the Opportunity
Center. He suggested Encina Avenue be the only street in Palo Alto to house
all of the human habitation vehicles; it was 800 feet long with parking
available on both sides. It could be limited to the existing vehicles with
permits as a transition program but with no new permits.
Council Member Kniss inquired about the year the Ordinance was adopted.
Mr. Borock indicated the oversize vehicle parking Ordinance was adopted in
1999 and the Ordinance restricting parking was adopted in 2003.
Stephanie Munoz admired the Council for allowing all members of the public
to speak at Council meetings. The Council could have taken other actions to
obtain the 60 senior housing units provided in Palo Alto Housing
Corporation's Maybell Avenue project. The Council should not change the
zoning for 400 low-income housing units.
Robert Moss clarified misstatements made by various parties in discussing
Palo Alto Housing Corporation's Maybell Avenue project. These statements
concerned school population, traffic congestion, size of lots, distance to El
Camino Real, number of units for low-income senior citizens.
Mark Petersen-Perez stated his life was changed when the Palo Alto Police
Department tapped his phone without a warrant and attempted to blame
him for despicable crimes in 2003. The Palo Alto Police Department was
corrupt.
CONSENT CALENDAR
Palo Alto Free Press supported the Council renaming streets for police
officers, Agenda Item Number 3.
MINUTES
Page 4 of 14
City Council Special Meeting
Final Minutes: 6/24/13
Herb Borock indicated the Council was trapped into approving Agenda Item
Number 4 because of actions taken years earlier by Planning Department
Staff.
Robert Moss noted the traffic study contained in Agenda Item Number 5
utilized the new model. This model should have been utilized for Palo Alto
Housing Corporation's Maybell Avenue project. Staff confirmed that the
traffic study utilized in the Maybell Avenue project did not meet standards
for current data.
Timothy Gray requested Agenda Item Number 11 be removed from the
Consent Calendar. The revised policies allowed a political justification for
underground tracks in north Palo Alto and above-grade tracks in south Palo
Alto. All Palo Alto deserved the same treatment with respect to High Speed
Rail.
Herb Borock concurred with Mr. Gray's request to remove Agenda Item
Number 11 from the Consent Calendar. The proposed policies focused on
mitigations rather than the project. The Council should be able to craft a
policy that treated all parts of the rail line equally.
Adina Levin, Friends of Caltrain, supported Agenda Item Number 10 because
of the high Caltrain ridership in Palo Alto and Mountain View.
MOTION: Council Member Klein moved, seconded by Council Member
Berman to approve Agenda Item Numbers 3-11.
MOTION: Council Member Schmid moved to remove Agenda Item Number
11 from Consent Calendar.
MOTION FAILED DUE TO LACK OF A SECOND AND A THIRD
Council Member Schmid said he would vote against Agenda Item Number 5,
because it would add costs of approximately $300,000 for consultants with
respect to the Comprehensive Plan. A great deal of the funds would be
utilized to develop a traffic plan. Basing information on inaccurate data
would not rebuild trust with the community. The Council should discuss key
assumptions of traffic analysis before finalizing the Comprehensive Plan.
3. Approval of Monroe Place (formerly Palo Alto Bowl) Motor Court
Names.

ACTION ITEMS
12. Recommendation from Finance Committee to Adopt Resolution 9357
entitled “Resolution of the City of Palo Amending the 2013
Management and Professional Compensation Plan” and Adopt
Resolution 9358 entitled “Resolution of the City of Palo Amending the
MINUTES
Page 6 of 14
City Council Special Meeting
Final Minutes: 6/24/13
City of Palo Alto Merit Rules and Regulations (continued from June 17,
2013).”
James Keene, City Manager, reported that the proposed Resolution adopted
changes to the classification and pay plan for the Management and
Professional Employee Group. The Management and Professional Group
included administrative assistants, planners and the leadership team. The
Group's current compensation was compared to compensation in regional
competitive markets and adjusted to the median of the market rate.
Adopting the Management and Professional Compensation Plan (Plan) would
improve the City's flexibility to recruit and retain excellent Staff, promote
internal equity between jobs, and support fiscal accountability.
Kathy Shen, Chief People Officer, felt adoption of the Plan was imperative for
retention of the City's workforce. Because the proposed Plan was accurate
as of 2011, Staff committed to performing a new salary survey in the
coming year.
Mr. Keene noted Management and Professional Employees' contribution to
the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) increased
from 2 percent to 7-8 percent after the compensation survey was
performed. Taking action on the proposed Plan was necessary for the
organization.
Council Member Burt reiterated the increase in employees' contribution to
CalPERS. The Finance Committee requested an update on the market
comparison within 18 months. The Finance Committee also requested Staff
consider methods to equalize compensation as well as salary.
MOTION: Council Member Burt moved, seconded by Council Member
Schmid to implement the Management and Professional Compensation Study
by adopting the attached Resolutions amending the 2013 Management and
Professional Compensation Plan and amending the City of Palo Alto Merit
System Rules and Regulations.
Council Member Schmid stated the proposed Plan changed the salary range
such that salaries would be competitive with salaries in surrounding cities.
Total compensation was comprised of salary and the cost of benefits for each
worker. The City's current payments for future benefits may not be
sufficient for future costs.
Ms. Shen would review total compensation for Palo Alto in comparison to
other cities. She informally surveyed comparable cities and learned that
approximately 1/3 to 1/2 were changing employee contributions for benefits.
MINUTES

Final Minutes: 6/24/13
Council Member Klein inquired about the effective date of the Plan.
Ms. Shen reported the effective date was May 18, 2013. The October 2012
date was the date of the last increase.
Council Member Klein indicated the paragraph titled Compensation
Adjustment Authorization in the proposed Plan had four different
recommendations.
Mr. Keene explained that the paragraph was an actual amendment to the
Plan. When the employee contribution to CalPERS was increased, a partially
offsetting 3 percent pay adjustment was implemented.
Molly Stump, City Attorney, added that the nomenclature "control point" was
revised to "midpoint."
Ms. Shen reported the Plan was amended by adding the new salary
structure. The current Plan recited past actions.
Council Member Klein asked why the effective date was May 18, 2013 rather
than June 24, 2013.
Ms. Shen explained the recommendation was originally presented to the
Council on May 6, 2013.
Mr. Keene indicated the date was a courtesy to employees who had been
waiting several years for a new Plan. The Council could change the date.
Council Member Price noted Staff planned to survey comparable cities again
in 2014, and inquired whether Staff would perform periodic compensation
surveys.
Ms. Shen reported the next salary survey would be performed in the third
quarter of fiscal year 2014, and she anticipated performing surveys on a
two-year cycle.
Council Member Price asked if future survey results would be implemented
rapidly in order to maintain relevance.
Ms. Shen stated that was Staff's intent.
Council Member Kniss inquired about the number of employees affected by
the new Plan.
MINUTES
Page 8 of 14
City Council Special Meeting
Final Minutes: 6/24/13
Ms. Shen reported approximately 114 different job classifications were
contained in the Management and Professional Group. The salary midpoint
would decrease for 53 job classifications and increase for 43 job
classifications. Assuming the Council adopted the Plan, Staff would review
employees in the 43 job classifications to determine how many would be
impacted.
Council Member Kniss asked if the Council received a list of new hires.
Ms. Shen regularly prepared a report of new hires, but she did not provide it
to the Council.
Council Member Kniss requested a report be provided to the Council.
Mr. Keene added that the City published all employee salaries on its website.
Council Member Kniss was interested in a report of new hires and the level
at which they were hired.
Mr. Keene would identify an appropriate periodic timeframe for providing a
report of new hires.
Council Member Kniss suggested once a month and asked if orientation
occurred once a month.
Mr. Keene replied yes.
MOTION PASSED: 7-0 Holman, Scharff absent
13. Resolution 9359 entitled “Resolution of the City of Palo Implementing
Terms for Utilities Managers and Professionals Association of Palo Alto
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 3505 (continued from
June 17, 2013).”
Sandra Blanch, Assistant Director of Human Resources, reported the City
negotiated with the Utilities Managers and Professionals Association of Palo
Alto (UMPAPA) for two years. On April 30, 2013 UMPAPA declared an
impasse and requested that the City's last best offer be presented to the
Council for implementation. Key terms for implementation were similar to
terms included in the Management and Professional Group Compensation
Plan. UMPAPA employees would pay the full employee retirement
contribution and would receive a 3 percent pension offset and additional
salary increases. Medical cost sharing would be consistent with other

bargaining units. New division managers and assistant department directors
would be at will employees upon hire. Director Valerie Fong was the only
Utilities Manager not subject to UMPAPA. The benefit for professional
development would decrease from $1,500 to $500 per year. Government
Code Section 3505 required the City to bargain with UMPAPA prior to the
end of the fiscal year.
James Keene, City Manager, understood the main concerns were
compensation, placement of employees within the marketplace, and the risk
of losing key employees. The proposal was unusual for an imposed contract
in that the City advocated for significant pay adjustments. Concessions
were similar to concessions granted by other bargaining units. It was
important for the Utilities Managers to be competitive in the marketplace.
MOTION: Council Member Klein moved, seconded by Vice Mayor Shepherd
to approve a Resolution (Attachment A) implementing the changes described
in the City’s Last, Best, and Final Offer to employees in the Utilities
Managers and Professionals Association of Palo Alto (UMPAPA).
Vice Mayor Shepherd believed Utilities Staff were dedicated and
hardworking, and hoped the dialog would continue.
Council Member Burt stated the City lost key employees in the Utilities
Department because of market changes. The terms granted significant
salary increases in order for the City to retain skilled employees.
MOTION PASSED: 7-0, Holman, Scharff absent
14. Resolution 9360 entitled “Resolution of the City of Palo Approving
Terms for Palo Alto Police Managers' Association (continued from June
17, 2013).”
Kathy Shen, Chief People Officer, reported Palo Alto Police Managers'
Association (PAPMA) agreed to pay the full 9 percent retirement contribution
with a 3 percent offset.
Marcie Scott, Employee Relations Manager, indicated PAPMA was comprised
of seven employees in two classifications. The agreement would align
PAPMA with other manager groups in terms of overall benefit concessions.
Salary ranges for Police Captain and Police Lieutenant would be consistent
with the market survey. Employees would pay the full retirement
contribution with a 3 percent salary offset. The City contribution for
professional development would be eliminated. The annual net savings
totaled approximately $81,000.
MINUTES

City Council Special Meeting
Final Minutes: 6/24/13
Palo Alto Free Press suggested the Council review the Federal Labor
Standard Act of 1938. Police Officers should be exempt employees in order
to eliminate overtime costs and should be paid based upon performance.
MOTION: Council Member Schmid moved, seconded by Council Member
Price to 1) approve a Resolution (Attachment A) approving employee
concessions and changes to benefit levels and pay for the Palo Alto Police
Managers' Association (PAPMA), 2) approve and direct staff to sign the
Letter of Agreement confirming that Palo Alto Police Managers' Association
members pay the full CalPERS 9 percent member pension contribution and
receive 3 percent salary offset as soon as administratively possible, 3)
approve tentative agreement eliminating the annual Professional
Development contribution of $1,500 per member effective July 1, 2013, and
4) approve tentative agreement to modify the PAPMA salary ranges pursuant
to the City's Compensation Market Study, decreasing Police Lieutenant pay
range by 2.11 percent and increasing Police Captain pay range by 10.5
percent.
MOTION PASSED: 7-0 Holman, Scharff absent
15. Highway 101 Bike and Pedestrian Bridge at Adobe Creek Project
Update and Direction on Design Competition.
Brad Eggleston, Assistant Director of Public Works, reported the City was
ready to begin the design phase of the Highway 101 Bike and Pedestrian
Bridge (Bridge). If the Council chose to hold a design competition, then
Staff would work with the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and return
in August 2013 with details of the process. The goal of the Bridge was to
have a year-round grade-separated crossing over Highway 101. Staff
anticipated conducting preliminary design in 2013, proceeding with full
design in 2014, and beginning construction in fall 2015. In late 2011 the
Council directed Staff to begin the preliminary design of a Bridge and to
investigate options for a design competition. Cost estimates for the Bridge
were $5.4-$9.4 million and did not include the Adobe Creek Trail, which
could add $150,000-$200,000. A cost estimate of $5.4-$6.7 million would
provide a standard Bridge, 10 feet wide, and surrounded by chain link fence.
A cost estimate of $6.6-9.4 million would provide an enhanced Bridge, 20
feet wide, with fencing, railing and lighting, and possibly a viewing deck.
The City was required to perform a number of studies for environmental
review, which should be completed by early 2014. The City obtained a $4
million grant from Santa Clara County and a $4 million grant from the One
Bay Area Grant program; however, the City had to provide $1 million in local
matching funds. Staff would work with AIA to develop design criteria, which
MINUTES
Page 11 of 14
City Council Special Meeting
Final Minutes: 6/24/13
included elements such as the type of Bridge, alignment, location of
landings, feel of the Bridge, compatibility with local environment, and a
budget. AIA would assist Staff with selecting approximately 20 experienced
firms to receive invitations to participate in the competition. A jury would
review firms' preliminary ideas and submissions, and select three or four
firms to develop designs. The City would then contract with the selected
firms and pay them a stipend of $10,000-$20,000 each. Firms would
develop and submit designs, and then the jury would review the designs and
determine a winner. Staff would present the final designs to the Planning
and Transportation Commission (P&TC), Architectural Review Board (ARB),
and Council to determine which design would be constructed. The standard
design process would be slightly faster by a few months. A competitive
process would provide multiple concepts from different designers, cost
slightly more, and require a greater investment of Staff time.
Council Member Kniss felt standard bridges were not noticed. A stunning
bridge with attractive lighting would be an asset for Palo Alto; however, cost
would be a factor.
Council Member Klein believed a design competition was the first step to
improving the design of public infrastructure. He assumed the design
competition rules would clearly state that designs must meet a proposed
budget.
Mr. Eggleston indicated the rules would make that very clear.
Council Member Klein noted the Council could reject designs selected by the
jury.
Council Member Schmid was concerned about designs being too costly to
construct, and asked how the jury would consider cost in their deliberations.
Mr. Eggleston would set cost as a design constraint at the beginning of the
process.
Council Member Schmid assumed firms would design to the limit of the
budget.
Mr. Eggleston suggested the Council consider whether to state the budget
limit was $10 million.
Council Member Schmid inquired about Staff's ability to set a limit when
there was no design to consider in preparing a budget.
MINUTES
Page 12 of 14
City Council Special Meeting
Final Minutes: 6/24/13
Mr. Eggleston would solicit assistance from AIA to develop design criteria.
Staff envisioned obtaining P&TC and ARB comments and Council approval of
design criteria before beginning a competition.
Council Member Schmid noted that AIA, P&TC and ARB would not be
responsible for creating a budget for the project.
Elizabeth Ames, Senior Engineer, explained that firms would provide a cost
estimate along with designs. Staff would then evaluate the cost of the
proposed designs.
Council Member Schmid inquired whether design and engineering experts
would review costs.
Mr. Eggleston replied yes.
James Keene, City Manager, suggested the design criteria could clearly state
an upper amount while allowing designers to include features that were
optional for construction.
Council Member Schmid added that the City had other important projects
that needed funding.
Mr. Keene noted the Council directed Staff to provide information about a
competition. Staff would provide more information related to design criteria
once the Council decided whether a competition would be held.
Council Member Burt suggested high value design be included in the criteria.
LED lighting, a new visual art medium, was both low cost and sustainable.
An integration of solar power and LED lighting would be interesting.
MOTION: Council Member Price moved, seconded by Council Member Klein
to: 1) consider the relative advantages of the invited design competition
process and the conventional design process; and 2) direct Staff to initiate
an invited design competition process with management assistance from the
American Institute of Architects for the design of the Highway 101 at Adobe
Creek pedestrian/bicycle bridge, and to return to Council in August 2013
with a detailed process and schedule for conducting the competition.
Council Member Price believed the Bridge was a tremendous opportunity to
develop a visible and significant landmark. A design competition could be
mindful of value engineering while blending artistic and technical elements.
Financial expectations should be clearly stated.
MINUTES

Final Minutes: 6/24/13
Council Member Klein felt Council Members' suggestions would be helpful in
guiding Staff.
Council Member Berman inquired whether the City had ever held a design
competition.
Mr. Eggleston noted only design competitions for art.
Council Member Berman indicated a competition was a good method to
solicit a broad spectrum of designs.
Vice Mayor Shepherd believed the location of the Bridge would have visual
impact.
Mr. Keene stated the experience of the Bridge would be a factor in design.
Council Member Berman applauded Staff for obtaining $8 million in grants.
MOTION PASSED: 7-0 Holman, Scharff absent
16. Status Report on Current High Speed Rail and Caltrain Electrification
Issues Submitted for Council Review and Comment.
Richard Hackmann, Management Analyst, reported that Caltrain began the
environmental review process for electrification. The revised California High
Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board blended
system Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was approved. The City
submitted comments regarding the Caltrain Electrification project. CHSRA
selected the initial construction segment design build contractor for the
Central Valley. Staff continued to track rail legislation and to communicate
the City's positions to Regional, State and Federal agencies as appropriate.
On July 22, 2013 the Atherton litigation appeal would be heard. CHSRA
anticipated beginning construction in the Central Valley in 2013. In late
2013, a draft Caltrain Electrification Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
could be released. By the middle of 2014 the Caltrain Electrification EIR
could be certified. On June14, 2013 the Surface Transportation Board issued
an opinion that would allow construction of the first 64-mile segment of High
Speed Rail (HSR). On June 18, 2013 the Kings County Water District filed a
reverse validation complaint against CHSRA, citing irregularities in the bid
process for the initial construction segment. Staff was scheduled to meet
with Caltrain Staff on July 31, 2013 to discuss positive train control
installation plans. The City sponsored SB 557, which the Senate passed and
the Assembly Transportation Committee was scheduled to hear on July 1,
2013. The Rail Committee and Hatch Mott and MacDonald were discussing a

potential feasibility study related to cost estimates for various grade
separation scenarios.
Vice Mayor Shepherd added that the City's lobbyist in Sacramento was
following SB 557 and any potential California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) legislation.
Council Member Price looked forward to a discussion of grade separation
issues.
Council Member Burt wanted to pursue an analysis of trenching because
trenching in a portion of the City could be cost effective. Challenges in north
Palo Alto could prevent trenching.
NO ACTION REQUIRED
COUNCIL MEMBER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
Council Member Price attended a tour of the Cubberley campus which she
found enlightening. She discussed a presentation she saw regarding the high
cost of parking through the Local Government Commission last week. She
was informed during a Valley Transportation Authority meeting the Bus
Rapid Transit System was going through the environmental review process
and seven alternatives were under consideration. As a member of the Santa
Clara County Mental Health Board, she wanted to share a new mobile
application called Immediate Mental Health Assistant. The application can be
customized for the user and is currently being refined.
Council Member Kniss noted Tony Oliveira spent a few hours with City Staff
discussing CalPERS on the June 21, 2013.
Vice Mayor Shepherd mentioned Thursday, June 17, 2013 was the Peninsula
League meeting on Seaport in Redwood City where they would discuss the
Bay Delta Plan and she encouraged her colleagues to attend.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 10:20 P.M.
