This responsibility is a inost important one be­ cause the budget represents a synthesis of community needs. It is a compilation of expressed Council poi:icies presented in the fornl of programs and activities •. Finally, the budget is imporiant because it focuses on the financial resourct:s which are required to operate the City and relates prograrns and acthrities to these finan­ cia 1 resources. The budget letter is intended to provide a gcne·tal overvie\V of the City 1 s financial and public service progr<i.ms for the !is cal year 19'70-71. tvfajor objectives, pro­ grams a·n<l subject areas r'cquiring Coundl aild staff attent1on are highlighted throughout the l;lu<lget document.

To what programs, · servit:es· and proje.cts, whether local or regional, should the City's personnel and financial resources be committed? These are the basic issues.

Foi· the past several years the staff has identified new operational commitnicnls bc:ing assunwd by the City govermncnt as a result of an an1bitious capital in1prove­ rnent program. Nol only has this trend been established, bat a.lso it will expand in _the future with completion of new faci!ities. At the same tin1c inflation expressed by higher costs, espcc.ially for personnel services, co1npounds the revenue problem as revenue sources have been ~ncreasing at a decreasing rate. Only because of new revenue sources such as the cigarette tax, high interest incorne and a very prosperous utility systelY1 has revenue been able to keep pace with expenditures. For the ffrst tinrn in many years the City is faced with a substantial revenue­ expenditure gap. Changes in the City 1 s financial program wi l1 be necessary if the City, is lo sustain current service !cvels and to initiate the new programs proposed in fhe budget. More specifically, the fi~antial program recommended in this bud­ get ~'lroposcs a six cent property tax increase, adoption of the oft-discussed transient occupancy tax a11d a si:;.eable reduction in the allocation of sales tax revenue to the Capital Jmprovenwnt Fund. Du_ring the budget review process the Council wi11 have an opportunity to critically exan:i.1ne proposed publi~ service progra~s in detail. These programs should 'be v)e-.ved i.n light of the comniunity•'s objectives and priority needs and the City's ahility to sustain them currently and in the future. _The.consolidated prclimiQ.aqr-budget for 1970-7l proposes expenditures totalling $24·; 408, 175 on a cash flow bas] s. Aciding inter fund transactions in 'the ·amount of $3,J78;619 the gross total budget is$27,786',794.

For example, the con­ c<~rn c:-chibiled for the quality of Palo Alto's cnviromnent has resulted in a recom­ nicndat ion for an in1proved building inspection program and for ma hzation of an en­ d ronrnental control unit in th,2 Public Works Department. Law enforcement requirements continue to demand a high priority of attention ff cffechve progran1s are to counteract the ah\rn1ing crim.c rate increase .. Three additional j)ersonncl and funds to implement the educational improveinent program arc proposed in the Police Department budget. Changes made by the new parking monitor program v:ill release additional officers for beat assignrnents. Because planning and construction of capital in1provemelits wi I1 con ti nae at a rapid pace. new expenditures for additional staff jn the Public Works Department• s E1igineering Division will be required to maintain the level of effective effort. The 1970-71 budget envisions further implementation of the Booz, Allen and Hamilton study. This yec.r · establishrnent o[ the Director of Community Relation:; position is proposed.

FinanciaJ Program As stated earlier, the pubHc service program.s proposed for 1970-71 wili require changes in the City'::; existing financial program. At the same titnc the City will be faced with water, gas and perhaps refuse utility rate increases in 1970-?l. The threat and potential irnpact of a state i.rn.posed excise tax on electric revenues pro­ vides additional cone er n. The property tax rate increase fron1. 74 cents per hundred dol1ars of assessed '' valuaHm1 to 80 cents is based on an estin1.atcd increase in assessed valuation fro1n $264, 220, 960 to $289, 074, 218, or six percent. H the assessed valuation reaches the $280 million mark, the six cent tax increase itself will yield $132 ,000. Com­ pared to other California con1munitics the 80 ('cnt tax rate is extrc111ely inodest_. Sales tax revenues arc expected to in .. -:reasc approxi1nat£'ly 5 .1 percent in 1970-71. Traditionally, 50 percent of sales tax has been transferred to the Capital bnprove - rnent Fund. This yca:r it ·is proposed to transfer only 36. 6 percent wlth the difference being allocated to support General Fund operations. This reduction in revenue to the Capital Improvement Fund will not jeopardize any currently planned capital project; however, it will n1ean fewer dollars being available for future capital pro­ jects. Minor changes in other Generai Fund revenue sources such as cigarette tax, inotor vehicie in lieu tax, coul'tfines and departrnental revenues wjli have little effect upon the total revenue picture. b1creased. attention is being given to special ser­ vice charges and fees to insure that ·they a~foquately c.over the cost of the service. Interest income ($720, 000 projected for l'J?0:-71) will continue to provide a sub­ stantial ,share of General Fund revenue. The third revenue proposal in the budget -adoption of a five percent transient occupancy tax -has been recommended for several_yeat·s. This tax will yield $55, 000 in l970-n and approximately $ll0. 000 thereafter. Proceeds from this tax should be commi tte<l for General Fund purposei:>. Modest increases arc expected in utility revenues, No prov1s10ns have b'een made for anticipated water and gas rate increases. A rate increase is also possible in -6 .. - ;, I I I­ I I I I I I I I I I I I I the refuse utility. Electric utility ,in.~orne ie vuln~rable on two counts: A possible cconon1ic downswing and the pl'oposed AB ':)08 relating to an exci sc tax on public electric ·utilities. Utilities i11 lieu taxes and net income provide one-third of General Fun~l revenues.

It is a legal docwftent, the essential form of VJhich is provided for in the Cit·1 Charter Y1hich stat.es in part that; o It shall be the duty of the Council, upon recommendation of the City Manager, to consider, and after a p1Jblic hearing, adopt a budget for each fiscal year .... o This budget shall include the estimaf~d receipts and expenditures of all public funds, except those 0hlch_are trust funds .... o A 11 expenditures made on beha If of the City.,. muc; t be made in ac:.ordance 0ith the authorization contained in the appropriation ordinance .... o The form in vihich this budget is adopted shat l deti:!rmine the method to be followed in all accounting .... o On or befori September first in each year, the Council shall levy such tax as may be neces5ary to raise revenue for the maintenance and operation of the City and the several departments during the fiscal year .... It is characteristic of governmental accounting that the various activities of a city are financed from a number·of se~~rate funds. This results from restriciions imp6sed on the use of publi~ monies by St~te and local !aws which in e~sence provide tliat money r~ised for cne purpose cannot be used for another. The City 1 s budget is formul~ted in terms of legally authorized expenditures of available or anticipated fevenues accounted for· within the established.funds. Appropriations within each ftind are segregated into departments or activltie~ and within each department they are further restrjctcd to objett contrbls such as salaries, supplies~ equipment, etc. The General Fund is the parent and-primary fund of.the City, and the one in which the fl~ances of the major governmental functions ~re accounted ·for~ Othe( funds contained in the budget are: Capital im~rovemeht f~nd, Utilities Fund, Gas T~x fund and Debt Retl(ernent Funds. Once adopted, the budget serves ·as a basis for t~va 1 ua ting the continuity of - p rog rains and act iv i ti es as we 11. as a continual rneasu re of or·gaiJ ! za t j ona l .. _ efficiency. It :also provides a means of co!itrol ling operations to effectuate the goals of the City. Sufficient provisions are availeble'., such as use of the Contingent Fund and other transfers, to provide flexibliity in day-to:-day operations and to meet unforeseen circunistances. ...._ ____________________________________________________ 1970-71 A N -N u A L B u D G E ·T 1 A N N u A L B u D G E T 1:· Bi\CKGRouNo R£LAT HiG 1'0 suoG·n CONTENT AND FORM1\T Traditional 1 y, 1 oca I government budge ts have been used primarily as a .corH ro 1 rnechanis1h to insure that spending was held within the limits of authorized appropriation. Within recent years and without abandoning t~e control aspect of budgeting, goyernmental agencies have tended to make tht:' budget serve as an annual state­ ment of goals and objectives, program implementation steps and organization structure necessary to accomplish goals and objectives. The budget, then, expresses these in both narrative and fi'nancial terms. Use f)f the program approach enables the staff and Council to assi9n full costs to particular _programs. When the cost of a particular program is ascertained, administrators and legislators are more. fully equipped to approve, reduce, modify, expand or e Ii mi na te a p.:i rt i cul ar program based on community needs, City resources and desired program priorities. In connection \.rith the program/activity approach, 'the staff has (l) developed program statements, .and (2) instituted more sophisticated cost accounting techniques. ·A description of these actions is provided be.low. PROGRAM STATEMENTS A program statement includes {l) a definition of departmental objectives; (2) a description of the ~vera! I needs which give rise to program objectives; (3) an identific~~ion of short term and longer range program development steps which departments plan to take in the future; and (4) a description of current, major programs being undertaken. Program Objectives are the ends toward Hhich departmental efforts are directed. In essence, tl1ey are definitions of the rlep;:irtment's basic missions-. In de­ fining program objectives, department hea'd·s have utilized their knowledge of the City's overall nbject:ives, community needs in their functional areas, the role and responsibilities of their tespe~tive departments.and the legal frame­ work within which thelr departments operate. Program be:!._elopment Ste~ are the means bywhich objectives (or e11ds) are acc1:1m­ plished. These steps relate to specific.activities which w!IJ be undertaken·-.r.o folfill established objectives. They might include expansio!1 or refinement of exi!'t_ing programs, establishment of ne\'J programs or termination of current programs. Program Structure is a description of the major programs of each department which contribute to the achieven~nt of program'obj~ctives. The development of departmental ·program statements has assisted the organization by providing a framework for determining operating and-capital improvement requirt!ments. To aid the City Counci J in analyzing .the budget, the ,9bjectives of various departments and divisions have been included: lo the narrative portion of the budget. References ·are alSo made irt the narrative to departrnt!ntal program development steps. · ...... -----------1970~11----------------------~-------------------------"' 2 -.1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I· I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I .1 BACKGROUND RELl\°TING TO BUDGET CONTENT 1\NO fDRMAT. PROGRAM/ACTIVITY ACCOUNTING In order to provide an added dimension to the financial and program aspects of the b'udget, departmental "activity 11 budgets are again presented in addition to the traditional object budget<;. The 0 act.ivity 11 budgets reflect the same total expendltLJres and revenues as the object budgets but relate these figures to the efforts or activities undertaken to achieve desired municipal objectives. The titles of the activities in each department are descriptive and self-explana'.'.'.. tory. Funds allocated among activities are provided on an estimated-basis. In order to arrive at more complete and accurate costs for each program/activity, it is necessary to inslude, in addition to salaries, materials, services, etc., many expenses v1hich in the past ~-Jere regarded <1nd recorded as "non .. departrriental" expenditures. Examples are the City's contribution to employees' retirement, health p1ans and the salEs tax paid on purchases. These co5ts are recorded as City Department Services. While the cost of these are recorded as an expendi­ ture in the using department or division; correspondingly, these costs are earmarked as revenue to the supplying unit under the designation expenditures transferred. These transactions do not directly affect the cash budg~t. Other se1·~ice expenses which have not previously been allocated to the organi­ zations er activities.actually ''using" them are telephone costs, janitcrial and maintenance expeh~~s. communicatlons {including radio and teletype), printing, reproduction and like expenses. Additionally, much general adminls­ trat.ive expense was unallocated to using operating departments. The costs of Jegal and accounting services, for example, were r~flected only in the budgets of the City Attorney and the City Controller.' The same was true for the costs of services performed for operating depaf'tnie'nt s by service and supervisory units such as the Personnel and Purchaslnq Divislons, the Director of·Adminis­ trati0e· Services, and the City Manager's 6ffice. More sophisticated cost accounting systems on the order of those used for th~ City 1 s uti Ii ties departments plus expanded electronic data pror~essing have made it possible to reflect these overhead admlni~trative ~?st~ not only . organizationally in the operating departments but in the individual accounts of each unit. For these reasons, this budget diffors in t\10.major a5pects fr6m previous object budgets. First, the activity budget accounts pre~iously referred to are shown for all departments. Second, the allocuticn of much service, administrative and overhead costs to the using departments has caused many large separate accounts .·to disappear entirely and apparently to "increase 11 departmental budget totals and especially the City Department Services account for each. The total costs of tJdministration and 1 Ike services were not increased because of these improved reporting techniques; rather the actuat tosts are simply refle~ted in the org~nization or activity u~ing them. As more experience is gained ... Ji th act iv l ty accounting arid program budgeting, the systems wi I J be perfected .. ·A N N u A L 8 u D G E T .._ ______________________________ ....., ...... ________________ 1970-71 ____________ _, SUMMARY or (\LL FUNOS Salaries Materials/Supplies Outside Services .

These &ctivitles are part of the program and operations analysis functlori. During the coming fiscal year emphasis will be placed on conducting specific projects in assigned areas and training City dep~rtment personnel in selected phases of progr~rn and op­ erations analysis. It is anticipated that fl. primary benefit of this function will be the r~duction, elimination, or avoidance of costly operations in terms of manpower, materials and equipment. Other functions of the Division concern the provision of r~cords man~gement and reproduction and maii services. With the establishment cf a records cen­ ter in the Civic Center, emphasis will be on improving records management practices and on reducing the need for costly microtilmlng. Steps will also be taken to impiernent a systematic pra·gram to reduce the necessity to contract for pri~ting services. Changes. in the mailing service are reflected in the addftfo~ Of an. inserter fur the mailing ~achine due to a revised method of uti11ty billing, a~~ an increase in postage in anticipation of a rate increase.

Proa ram ---·"'--- in order to keep pace with the grO\·Jth in City services and the concomitant need for highly qualified and motivated City employees, it is necessary to upgrade the perso~nel function. It is proposed in this budget to increase thelevel of services in almost every program conducted by th.is important service division. The request for staff to accomplish the objectiv~s set forth a6ove includes one Personnel Service~ Aid~ and the reclassificatlon of one Personnel Services Representative to Senior Personnel Services Analyst. The Perso~nel Services Aide is a semi-profe~sional position which will re­ lieve the professional staff' of numerous routine tasks and per form a variety of services, especii'llly in the areas of recruitment, selection and employee relations. The employee filling this position will be expected to recruit ahd select clerical employees, obtain information for andwrlte a monthly employee newsletter, administer a portion of the empl6yee benefits p1·ogram, and relieve th~ increasing workload of the office clerical staff. The recom­ mendation to retlassify the P~rsonnel ServiGes Represehtative position to Senior Personnel S~fvic~s Analyst is ba~ed on the need to have two highly qualified, senior professional~ equal1y proficient in all areas of the total personne I progr'ani. ~--------------1910-11--------------------------------------------__, ________ ,, 22 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I OEP/>.RTMENT OF i'\DMltdSTSf;"i !\![ SERVIC[S -PfHSOtlti[L DfV1S!OtJ Besides the pror;osnl to increase the staff, c;ther si~_11.,i fica~t ch(!nqt~s 1.·1i 11 occur in the follm·;ing program arcds; rccruitn!e!l~ and selection, tu~ining and development, classification anJ pay and en!ployec rel~tlons. T~ese ch~nges are reflected in the Outside Services and Other Expense accounts. w;th the -C-ity expecting anJ demanding superior applicants, it is essential th~t a more'- aggressive recruitment program be est<Jblished. To accmiµii5h this task vtill require a more professional approach to advertising and the provision of re­ location alloviances to ca11diJates for posit!or,5 \-.:hich are difficuit to fill. In the area of training and development major requests to lncrease the lev~l of services relate to tuition reimbursement, supervisory training and mana~e­ ment development. Since its improvement in the 1968-69 fiscal year, .the City's tuition reimbursement program has been very successful. Because of the in­ creased aw~renes~ by employees that job-related skills can be obtained through this program, it is requested that the appropriated amount be increased. For years the City has offered very little structured training for first and second­ line field supervisors. It is requ~~ted that these key ernployeEs be offered trainir!g in supervisory techniques. Finally, the :nodest beginning of manage- ment development during the latter part of the curr·ent fiscal year indicates that much remains to be accomplished 1n fol lowing the recommendations of the Booz, Allen an::'. Hamilton study in this impof"tant area. !tis planned during the corning fiscal year to bring guest speakers to the City and tc send top and middle management employees to professio~j] training programs. Resources of nearby college3 and univ~rsities wi 11 be explored. Discussions \·Ji th management and ernployees'-alike have pointed uo the need for a classification study in selected areas l~ spite of the recent classification plan review by the staff of the Personnel Div~sion. It is ~eadily apparent that the present classification plan has deterio.~'lted to the point \-.ihere !t is exceedingly difficult to use it as a basis for a pay ~!~n based upun the prin­ ciple of equal pay for equal work. It ls proposed to hav~ an outside con~ul­ tant, working with the staff, conduct a thoroug~ classiftcatlon plan re~iew. As employees seek more direct contact with and recognition fron1 management, the City's emplo1ee relations· program must be st1engthened. The need is to provide employees with a sound ~ehic1e for expressing their interests. In addition to an honest and sincere approach to negotiations, in the coming fis­ cal year it is proposed lo establish a monthly employee hew~letter and an employee suggestion award system. ..._ __________________________________________________ ....,1970-71 ) A N N u A l.

Insure that accurate, courteous and readily accessibJe telephone lnfor~ mation services are available for citizens after the City's re~ular work­ ing hours; f'rOl;ram ~--.z-- During the past three years the operJtions activity of the Corrimu~ications Division has been confrant~d with a dramatic work load increase of 47 per­ cent w1thout any increase in personnel. This increase is primarily due to the availability of a police informatibn network for wan~cd persons and veh­ icle checks and its _incre~sed usage by police field personnel. In addition, there has been a steady increase in the number of police incidents. for some time the staff has been insufficlent to provide proper service, particularly bet:veen the hours of 6 P.M. C}nd 2 A.M. One of the Communications Division's· 1970-71 program development steps is to provide i~~eased emergency telephone and radio dispatch capabilities during these hours in order to ihsure prompt and reliable service to the public and to City departments. One additional Communicator II is requested to rrovide this service. A second development step relates to an evaluation of the new.Communications Center. W!th the installation of the Center concurrent with the occupancy of the Civic Center, it h panlcularly important that the Cornmunlcations Cen­ ter be operated ~ffectively anrl efficiently in its new environment. Although it is anticipated that the Center's oper.::Jtlon vJill he facilitated by virtue of its ne\'1 location, during the corning fiscal year an in-depth. study wiii be I .J .__ _____________ 1970-71-------------------------------------------------------- 25 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I.

The study will lnclJde an analysis of the kind and levzl of service provided; an analysis of the Center 1 s forms, files and paper f?o;·1; and recommendations to {diminate o: reduce tir1:e-consuming, non­ essential systems and services. The new Centrex telephone system, installed during the current fiscal year, wi 11 provide vastly improved service to the public and ai the same time re­ duce the need for operator intervention. Although the new system will permit mon~ general wtilization of the S·ditchborad Operator, its higher cost is re­ flected in an increase in the Outside Services account. Through the es tab Ji shmen t of a cornrnun i cations equ i prnen t poo I (accomp Ii shed during the curr·erit fiscal year), purchase of individLwl items by using depart­ ments has. thus far been avoided. During the corning fiscal year there \'Ji l I be considerable emphasis on maintaining accu~ate r~cords in order to determine the amount of equipment actually needed:- No m~jor changes are contemplated in maintenance activities. With the addi­ tion of a technician in 1969-70 work backlogs have been cut, routine main­ tenance schedules are being followed and fire alarm testing and maintenance is improvi~g. The objective for the coming fiscal year is to solidify the gains achieved !n 1969-70.

Program Fiscal year 1969··70 was the first year in which janitorial services 1\'ere cc;mplctely provided by City forces rather than through contract. Results of a recent questio~naire directed to all City departments ihdicate that the degree of clean: ine!s has greatly improved under thi~ syst~m. More­ over, the cost ~f providing these services by City staff ha~ proven to be signiflcantiy less than what jt would have been under a contractual ar­ rangement. It is therefore app.:ire:-it that the most effective and efficient method of rnainta!ninq City facilities is through the City 1 s own staff. · In the coming year it 'is proposed to increase the 1eve1 of service by pr·o­ v id l ng weekend coverage to the following intensively utilized facilfties: Mitchell Park Libraryt Stern Community Center, Baylands Interpretive Cen­ ter and Athletic Center; park restrooms and police and comrfa.fn}s~ations areas !)f the Civic Center~ These facilities receive as much if not:·n\6re usage. on the weekend as during the week. It is already.apparent, particularly in the case of th~ fe.ce.ntly opened Milchel1 Park Community Ce11ler, that present <:overage of Jhis high-use facility ls inadequate. Wlth ,the sr.:hed­ uled opening of the Downtown Community Center and library in 1971, it is proposed to add th i !' f ac i 1i ty to those now covered by CI ty forces. ·In order to pr6vide We~kend janitorial services to the abovemehtiOned faci1- i ti es and to cover the Downtm·m Community Center and library, ~hree add i -- t ibna l Building Servicemen will be required at a total cost of $28,735, Even with the addition of three positions,other City facilities, ideally 'cov~red by the.

It is hoped t~at an increased level of supervisi6n will enable this important facilitci to be maintained iri a·more effective nl<lnner. Continuation of the roving security patrol contract is proposed. The num­ ber of attempted break-ins and vandalism incidents indicate~ that it would be fa1se etonomy to dis~ontinue this service. In addition the program of providing intrusion alarms, at City facilities will be incr~jsed. Except as noted above, the level of building maintenance services provided in the current fiscal year will be coritinued. The Civic Center with its 80,000 square feet will present a significant challenge in terms of build­ ing maintenance requirements. Without sufficie11t experience in this new facility, it is difficult to predict whether the budgeted services wil I be adequate.

Funds accumulated from charges to General Fund and Utility departments for the use of motorized equipment wiil be carried in a r~serve account of the General fund to finance equipment rep} acemen ts. In 1970-/ l 115 motorized vehicles rnee ting replacement standards designed to maxim~ze usage and minimize operating costs will be p~r­ chased at a total cost of $160,000. Two additional police vehicles ""i 11 be added to the fleet. In the past few years it has been demonstrated that heavy construction eauip­ ment used_du;ing normal working hours has not received adequate maintenance services. A new program designed to alteviate this problem is proposed for 1970-?l. In essence, the program will consist of providing Sifurday service. Through wise use of overtime this service can be provided without additional perscnnel at a cost of $2,500. Other changes in the level of services are reflected in a proposed increase for rental equipment. A tot~! qf $2,000 is needed tci provide t~is equipment. If a construction crew 1 s productivity is contingent on ~:partic~lar piece of equipment wl1ich is in for repair, a ren­ tal unit will be ~roVided immediately. In the coming year ·the Equipment Maintenance Division ,wi 11 assume a leadership role along \..,iith the Personnel Division in the development and impfornentation of.a motorized vehicle operators' program designed to instruct fity employees in the use of proper methods, procedures and techniques required in the oper­ ation of r~gol~r, specialized and heavy duty equipment.

The schedule of internal audits conducted by the office wi1 I be enlarged to keep pac:e with the growth in volume and diversity of City activities, Work will be undertaken to achieve a better correlation of related· records and files reai~tained by the Controller, the Treasurer, and the Purchasing a~d ~~rsonnel Departments. In summary, the operating costs are expected to increase approximately $23,000t of which sstooo results (rem greater allocations of indirect costs th~t are not ~ontrolled by the department. One staff change requested is the addition of one Fiscal Control Clerk II to pe~form advance accountihg work in Connection with the budget and-special report prep~rat!on. The incr~ase in outslde ser­ ;.'ice expense reflects the use of outside keypunching and programming services that were formerly identified as casual. The remainder of the increase antici­ pates a higher fee for the outside audit and some additional EDP equipment ._,rental. _J,. ____ 1~_s_!)_d_g_e_t_a_s_s_;;;~ ~t;1d_b_y_t_h_e_C_i_t_y_c_o_n .. t_r_o_..1,_l_e_r _______ ,-.. -------· .

During the past several yean City streets have been improved by the resur­ facing of a significant number cf 5treets. lt was theref6re possible to reduce this program during the past two fiscal years. A further reduction is now possible. Funds proposed for the 1970-71 budget for this purpose amount to 549,000, as compared to $59,017 i~ the !969-70 budget. The pro­ posed maintenance resurfacing provides for resurfacing 3.15 miles of City streets (additional miles of select system. streets are proposed in the l9/0-/I Caµi ta! ln1provernent bud9et for structural street improvements). The Division's annual slurry seal program has been incre~sed to $20,000 to include the se<lling of 5,7 miles of City streets. This is a preventative maintenance program. The use of slurry seal postpones the ne~d of more costly street resurfacing and has the added advantage of not reducing the height of the street curbsJ which results frcm resurfacing with the thicker layers of asphaltic concrete. Progress has been made in the development of an ir:ventory of streets, side­ walks, and related installations. Traffic sign installations, traffic markings and street furniture (trash containers 1 benches, etc.) have been lnventoried and recorded through data processing. During the 1970-71 fis­ c,:d year the inventory wl 11 be expanded to include other related items of street maintenance. This program will add a scientific dimension to pro­ grammed street and street related maintenance.

A N N u A L B u D G E T DEPARTMENT OF PU6LlC WORKS -PARKS DIVISION· Obiectives ~------- The objectives of the Pai·k.s Division are as follo'tJs: o Preserve the natural beauty and functlonal utility of Citv parks in an efficlent and economical manner. o Provide for safe, attractive, an<! playable outdoor recrer:itional f aci l i ti es. o Promote the u~e of and preserve the existence of street. trees. o Insure that tree growth does hot disrupt electric service. o Maintain the playability ancl attr·;:,ctiveness of thi;;_, Muriicipa-1 Golf Course within reasonable cost. Ir: the past several years the Ptlrks Division vmrk load has grov!n consid­ erably through the addition of numerous landscaped park and other public facilities. Some examples of ~dditional maintenance responsibilities in­ clude the Civic Center; Mitchell Park Community C~nter; California Avenue Parking Garage; Juana Briones Park; Baylands Athletic Center; nearly two miles of .<\lma Street o.leander plantings; landscaping at c;ubstations and other utility installations; an expanded Rinconada Park; El Camino Widen- ing landscaping and landscaping and maintenance related to the OcMntown Park (North}. Automatic irrigation iMprovements, more 5opnisticated mech­ anical equipment and stress on work simplification and efficient proced­ ures all have enabled the div!sion to assume maintc~ance of such.facilities since 1964 without ~dditlonal non-supervisory personnel. Fundc:; in the amo~1nt of $\0;500 have_ been programmed for City Employee~ Beautification Committee projects, the mosi: significant of which are the proposed planting stri;.> qn El' Camino Reel! bet;..,ieen Palo ;\Ito and University Avenues and a program of ins tali i ng benches j n the dm·mtO\'m area.

Program During 1969 the mailagement consul ling fl rm of Booz, Allen and Hand I ton con­ ducted a study of the orgariizatioi\ and operations of the Division. Based on an ilnalysis of existing and plannei activity, it became apparent that additional staffing would be required. An adaitional Assistant Building Inspector is re­ quested: l) to assist with the exist.ing inspection workload; 2) to fulfill a portion of the inspection requirement~ in the Division's program relating to the elimination of wooden .;triJctures in Fire Zone l; and 3) to make possible the es­ tabl ishrr.ent of on annual electrical ins1iection program for industrial buiidings. During 1970-71 the Division wl!I formul~te housing code inspection and occupancy permit programs. The first program ~ill be geared to upgrading living conditions in o1der structures. lhe latter 1clates to inspection of residential structures at the tfme of sale or ch~nge 1n tenancy tc insure comp} lance with minimu~ he~lih and safety code requirement~~ 0~ ~ ~r~}1~·inary basis, it appears that if these programs are to be undertak~n, additional manpo\"ler beyond the level proposed in the 1970-71 b~dget will be necessary. Fur~her information will be submitted to the Council on this subject at a later date. Continual change in build1ng materials and techniques w!il impose new demands on existing personnel. In this regard a planned program-of staff development, d~­ signed to broaden the scope and lncrea~e the depth of technical expertise, will be instituted. Ii. number of operational improvements suggested in the Booz, Al Jen and Hami I ton report wi 11 be implemented. These i nc1 ude---improved cash handling procedures, re­ vision of filing systems, improvements in general office procedures and formali­ zation of t~e Division policy and p~ocedure mahuai. AlJ programs of this Division will be closely coordinated with the en~ironmental control acti~lties noted in the Public Works Administration/Engineering budget and fire inspection activities.

P1·ogrcirn In late !968 the Amcrfcan Insurance Association conducted a fire protection and grading survey in Palo Alto. The City w~s assigned a C1ass 3 rating, in­ dicat lng fire defenses remained generally stable during an unprecede~ted period of gr-01·1th since the last survey was conducted in 1955. The rating caine quite clcse, hm.,rever, to c'lass 4, which \·muld result in higher fire insurance premiums: In this regard the Council authorized retention of Gage-Babcock, professional fire protection consultants, to ~scertain the most desirable level of fire protection in r~la~ion to the benefits possible in reduced insurance premiums as opoosed to the c6sts requir~d to provide fire protection. The cons~ltant's report is now pending before tL'2' Finance Committee and is presently being revie\-/ed by the staff.

Reclassification of five Firemen to Captain is recommended to provide addi­ tional Sl1pervi";:;lon for fire companies. Reclassification of the 2nd /\•;sistant Fire Chief position to Battalion Chief is aho re::omrr:enderl as a r·esult of changes in the depanment's administrative structure and conversion to the three platoon system.

These projects have already received policy approval from the Council. Recommended Progran_!. Those projects contained in the 1970-75 Capital Improvement Program and sched­ uled for appropri;itlon in 1970-71 are included In the Capital Improvement sec­ tion of the budget. As earlier directed by the City Council, the followihg chai'iges have been meide: l) Arastradero Road west of Page Ml 11 Road, i1nprove­ m~nts estimated at $5~8,000 ~ave been deferred; 2) $500,000 has been included in connection with future dction on the Lytton School site; and 3) the appro­ priation for El Camino leased lands (Veteran 1 s Bui)dihgf Red Cross Building and adjoining area) has been increased from $3,00Q to $10,000. In addition the fol lowing chnnges. have been made: ·rhe Baylands Athletic Center, Phase I, has been omitted from the 1970-71 budget sinte the project in· its entirety will be co~pleted prior to July l, 1970. Coriv~rsely~ f~nds for the Downtown Community Center are again inc1uded as a carryover appropriation sintc this project's ·c.ompletion is contemplated in the 1970-7! fisc31 year. Finally, ba·~~d on revised cbst information, the appropri~tion for Rinconada Pool improvements has be~n increased ~rorn $106,0CO to $115,000, General government capital improvements totaling approximately $10,000,000 are currently under appropriation (1969-70).

The major substation p1·cject for 1970-71 relates to planning and engineering for expansion o' the Colorado Metering Station. As noted earlier several alternatives arc under active revie~<1 with P. G. f, E. officials. The precise timing of this proiect will depend on which alternative is selected. Hm'>'ever, funds in the amount of $956,000 have been provided as a contingency. 1he 1969 R. w. 8eck Report recommended construct ion of subs tat ion to. accommodat~ load growth in the Stanford Industrial Park and the foothills area, An apprnpriation of SI00,000 is included i11 the 1970-71 budget for cicq1Jhition or a subs:.:ation L:-·ntively entitled Arast:·adero Substation. Likewise $60,000 ls included ·for ~cquisitior of a site opposite Lambert AvPnue and adjacent to the Park Boulevard Switching Station. In addition to meeting expansion requircn~nts $10,0DO is included for landscaping and irrigation improvements at Hansen Way, Quarry Road and Maybell Substations. o Underaround Lines . ~ The underground program proposed for 1970-71 is based primarily on policies established by and directives of the City Council. Urderground projects a1·e norm;:illy divided into three classifications: substation feeders, subtrans­ ~issi~~.systern and underground distribution, extension and conversion. A tota1 of $815,408 has been budgeted for undergrounding in 1970-71. One major substation foeder project is progr·amrned for 1970-7! based primarily on recommendations contained in the 1969 R. W. Beck Report. This ,project would extend 12kv-underground feeders from .Hillview Avenue along Arastradero ~oad to Coyote Hi 11. This l2kv extension will serve this area of the Stanford Industrial Park as well as to act as backup for the 12kv system in the foothills area. In addition. Phase I I of the Stahford Industrial Park project is included at a cost o{,$300,300. The project includes under- ground conversion of California Avenue fro~ El Camino to Amh~rst Street and conversion of various easements between Page Mill Road and California Avenue. The major underground project for 1970-~I will be tho conversion of Middlefield Road and Oregon-Avenue -a distance of 2.2 ml Jes scheduled for completion in mid 1971. o Overhead .1.-J.'."•E'S, Oi'Stribution Transformers, Meters and Services In. order to maint<1i11 existing or replace deteriorated or inadequate over­ head line facilities. as required $100,500 is recommended to purchase and ----------------1970~11------------------------------------------------------,,. 103 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I- I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 0 0 0 0 • (L [CTI{ I c FUrrn install pol{~c,, <:ross t1rms, -::onductor5, 5i.-1itche<:. capacitors anJ o!her .is soc i a t e d o v e r h c il d fllil t er i a I s . r o fa<~ i 1 i t a l e the p u r c. ha> e <Jn <l ; n s ta 1 1 a t i on of distributirJn transfon11er:. for ne\-J customers, ri~pl3ce defecti'Jt; tr.?Jrrs­ formers and for ccnversion areas v1here overhead type tr;1nsforn1P.rs \,1 i 11 be re11oved and underground transforrr.ers ir;stalled, funds arc requested ill tire amoiJnt of $165.000.

Conversion projects scheduled or completed in 1969-70 include the Southgate drea and the_ ared bounded by Ali:n, Co1·1per, Oregon and the M<Jtadero C<·rnal. During 1970-7! an .:tppropr-iation of $81,500 is provided f~11-street lighting systems in the Creso~nt Park and California fwenue ar·cas. Other mi:wr conversions wi 11 be undertaken as requh·ed to maintain adequate illumination. This cate<Jory provides funds for the purchase and ins ta! latiori of ne1·1 traffic signals, 1Jpgradings and modifications of installations. This year an appropriation of $93,500 is proposed for the installation of an emergency pre-emptio~ capability in the major portion of the City's traffic signal detector and control equipment. Existing installatinn will be upgraded or modified at several intersectioris. Communications Facl Ii ties Communications, fire ;::iJarm and telemetering projects totaling $137,600 are proposed to prevent and reduc~ the loss of life and property and to improve the City's insurance classification. Major activity wi l! be ln the area of extension of alarm circuits ln the South Pa16 A1to area and in the Stanford Industrial project.

A N N u A l ·a· u D r. .. ~ E T REfUS.[ FUND 0 ~<:-~.'.:'.£~. The objectives of the RefUse Division are as follows: o Provide for frequent, reliable and sanitary collection of iol fd wastes with minimum public inc6nvenience. o l~sure that solid wastes are disposed of in a sanitary and economical manner. o Provide for refuse ~ol lection and disposal services on a self-supporting bas ls. o Insure that di~posal techniques are compatible w1th established land ~eclamation standards. Prcaram ---~-- The staff is currently in the process of renegotiating a net·J refuse collection contract since the current contract expires in 1971. Preliminarily, it appears that a refuse collcct1on rate increase will be required. ln the past decade tHo refuse rate increases have been authorized, lhe first, in 1963-64, ivas a collection rate increase to offset increased operating costs and the second, in 1966, was a 10 percent increase deslgned to accumulate capital reserve funds for future refuse capital improvements. No provision, hov,.ever, has been made in the 1970-71 budget for a rate increase pending the results of contract ne­ gotiations. The sum of $10,000 for a refuse methods study has again been re-budgeted. This item is related to activity relative to the City 1 s role in the refuse shredder program. In this important enviYohmenta1 subject area the staff will continue to explore subregional er regional and other solutions to th~ refuse collection and disposal question. The largest expenditure in the Refuse Fund budget is in the Outside Services category. This reflects the expenditure~ made to the Palo Afto Sanitation Company for co 11 ec ti on se rv i ce.s. Payments made to the contractor are based on 7S percent of billings for refuse services.
