-salary approptiations of approxhnately $400, 000 are required to f.iil.ance

last-should not minimiz·e its importance ..
A number of factors have cornbined to n1ak~ the revenue forecast less
encouraging this year than. it has been in the recent }last. The most im
portant of these factors.are outlined below:
1. In order to comply with new Staie law requiring that property
be assessed at 25 per cent of full cash value, all property within
the Ci.ty h;1,s been reassessed. ·As a :result, total assessed valua
tion has dropped an estimated $30 million.
2. Sales tax revenue will ~show almost no increase over 1966-67.
3. Growth of water and gas sales is not expected to exc·e~d one
per -;ent; the electric utility is so susceptible to ecc.nomic fluctua
tion that a conservative p1·ojection of six per cent above lhe amended
l 966-67 sales is dictated.
Stabili~ation of Palo Alto's economic development, and therefore revenue
growth, comes at a time when the impact of r:.ew projects and programs is
approaching a peak. Faced w'i.th this challenge, it is prudent that the . ,. '
Council ~onccntrate attention upon the ca~y's overall financial condition. --. .· . ~~

Many projects which have been long 'awaited will be placed under contract
for constrlictiqnin 1967-68. Some will be completed during the 12-month
period while others will require a longer span of time before these
facilities will prod11ce the community benefits .!or which thl'\y were ,<:'.e
signed. All indicators point to a year of gre~t' promise and opportunity'
:·fo:r community accomplishment.
Throughout this budget, department heads and division'r:nanagers ha~e
dedicated themselves to p~ovi,(\ing a high l~vel of servH:e to the Palo Alto
corrini\inity. Aided ·and guided by the City Coundi 1a policy· direction,
the goals, bbjectives and programs for 1967-68 will be·realized •.
This document represents' the. coll~ctive efforts of many pi'ofess'ionally
competent staff members. Their diligence and valuable assistance to
this budget effort has been·deeply appfeeiated and ~a.rinot'be.o.verstatt?d.

ASSESSED VALUATION AND PROPERTY iAX RATE
Historically, property taxes, assessed and collected by the
City, have been relied upoo to finance onJy about one fifth
of the General Fund budget which In amount is approximately
. equar to experidittires incurred for the protection and benefit
I · · -of property and its value. This relatively low City property
-·~·-· --.-~.-.. ------.--. __ -~-t~x_has,been possible oniy because of the availability of

_ I _ State~col lected' sales taxes. -•--..
.
\
\
The State, in 1966, adopted well·pubJicized legislation which
provides that the assessed valuation of property be established
at a uniform ratio of 25% of its "ful I cash value}' Up to,
and including 1966-67, the City Assessor has used a ratio
somewhat higher than 25%. The effect of conforming to the new
State-established ratio .is reflected in the statement of assessed
values :o-1hich compares the actual 1966-67 values with those
est!rnat~t!ft)r l9h?-6fL Total taxable orooifrtv 1r1 the Citv. _
valued at $255,578.520 i~ 1966-67 will~ i~ !9~7-68, be valued
at ~n ~stlmated $225,300,000; a reduction of over $30,000,000.
If ~roperty ta~es are to continue to sup~ort their historical
$hare of the General-Fund budgeti an increase tn tax rate will
be necessary~ Ther~fore, a total tax rate of 88c .is recom-
··mended for 1967~68 providing $1,661,128 for General fund pur
poses ·(22 .. 8-:>;, of total revef1ues") and $321 ,360 for retirement
of Hospital and General Obligation Bonds. This compares to
1966-67 figures of $1,716,839 for Gen~ral Fund purposes
{26.5% of tota• rnvenues) and $327,789 for bond debt retire-
rr.en t.
For a Palo Alto home<Jwner wt1osc:property is assessed at $8,000
(full cash value ·of $3~.ooo),~his would meafl a Cit~·-property
tax bill of $70.40. Whiie this is a significan~ amount it
repres~nts rinly about on~ tenth of :the total properiy t•x
. bi l ~ he wi I l_ have .to pay to the County) SchOq r.Yand other .
spedal ·districtswh!.ch alS"o levy a .tax on his· property. The
hpmeowrler t however t 'is_ not the pr inc i pa' ·cl ty p roper•ty tax
. j:>~yer.; his property re.presents less than 40% of the total
assessed valuatlon.;. the majofi ty of the values stem ft'om

HONICIPAL SERVICE CENTER
The most outstar'lding ae~ompl ishment of the-, mualcipal government during the past
year in t~rms of operational effld~ncy :Jnd rro~;ro'f,~d service to the residents
_of the conmunlty was the opening of the:iew.ti,tynfclp:i\lil_ServlceCenter. This .
modern facf f I ty accormodates field ~;~rvlie operatlohs "for the streets and parks
divisions of the public works department; water, gas, setter P1nd electric utl Ii·
ties; and building and equipment 1naintenance division arid purchasing and stores
furict ion.---Subseque!lt stages of develop~n_t wl 11 t nc1 ude jo i nt·use tr al n i ng
fact lfttes for police and fitf!, a-fire-driH_ tower, addJtlonaLparking, and re,":'
location of the Ci ty•owned and operated nursery. -_, - : -_
As an introduction to the Public Works Department, which the Municipal Service·
Center so effectively serves, and the utilities, which are presented on the fol
lowing pages, it is appropriate to provide here a very general description of
the -plar:it, its operations and advantages. Within the shor_t period of oc.cupancy
since Noveni>er 1966 --it has become quite evident that improved and more effl:..
cient public service has resulted from th~·construction of this outstanding
facility. Cine of the major noticeable benefits of the consolidation of these
-many field service operations, and thus'the1r proximity to each other, _has been
an Improvement 1n the expeditious handling of interdepartmental activJties _
through closer conrnunicatlon. The integration of these related, but formerly
separated operations, and movement from cramped and inefficient quarters at the
cc;>rporatJon yard, has brought about the foi iowing: _ Establ ishm_ent of uniform _,
working rules and controls and admin!strattve procedures; improved access to shop,
storag• and off Ice are~s through optimum traffl~ ciiculation patterns; central·
tzed fteld office arrangements-; mo're efficient scheduling and coordinating of
work assignments; better personnel supervisl~n; effective security for. an ~x-_
pens Ive stores i nveihory ahd er it I ca I opera ti ona 1 equipment; economt es in pur
chasing; storage and distribution methods; and modern·materiaJ handling tech'
njques.
The intangible advantages to the Ci.ty of the-'Munfdp$1 Setvi~.e Center, whl le, . _
difficult to measur~~ are considered significant•' The new environment prov!des
good ll'~htlng, adequate heatlng,"c_leanlin~ss_,_new furn_iturc and equipment, ade-_
quat~ spaC:_,, efficlen~ layout and separaflon-of functions .. reducing !nterrup•
ti,Qns -and has contrfbuted ·to employee satis_factfon. cThe importance of these
improvements in workHig .condilT6ns to employee' ihdraJe-~c::an ·b~ measured by the ob-
'vious pt'ide-·empJOyf!es ·hay~ ln:the~f.adlitJes,:b-O"th expressed and also· by the: --

surfacln9, following completion of base fai Jure repairs, are Embarcadero
Road (Middlefield to St. Francis)anclWillowRoad (entire length). The.
total resurfacing contract·is est,imated at $168,000. Approximately $7,,000
Is also inc.luded for slurry seal treatment of selected re~idential streets
where the condition of the pavement warrants surfacing·work.
• Inc I uded is $40, 000 for mater i.a 1s used in street openings for underground ·

Coomentary
• The Parks Division and the Electric Oepan"'ent have reco.1m1ended that
•
an expanded electric 1in~ cleatance program be lnstit~ted to prevent
potential power outages, and a crew of three additional personne·1
has been requested for a 11 high11 crew in the Parks Division. White
the Division presently has one three-man· ere~ a~signed~xc)u~ively
to line clearingt tree growth during the past several years has
created more work than one crew can effectively perform. The.
Electric Department estimates that 2,600 to 3,000 trees should be
tri~ed annu_al J y. The present crew can trim only about 1 ,JOO per
year. A.further complication. is that many of the trees ~ire located
on rear property easements, where power equipment such as the "high
ranger 11 cannot be uself, thus increasing manhoµrs required. The
total annual cost of the additional crew. including ialaries aMd
equipment, is approximately $24,500 .. ,
In spite of requested personnel increases-and miscellam~ous small
equipment i terns, the Parks Division budget. ·is down due to the
completion of several major one-time projects dufing 1966.;67. ·

attendance during the past year (January, 1967, fncreased 188% over
January, 1966), the present protective coverage of the Park is
considered Inadequate. The additional Ranger wou1d perform duties
relat~d to the general operation, protection and lftterpretetlon of
the Park and would also assume some of the duties of the Assistant

California Streets and Hi~hways Code to account for the City 1 s share of.the
State-collect~d tax on gasoline sa)es.
Section 2107
Taxes coJ lected for cities u(lder Section .2107 {. 725¢ per gal Ion) are aJ loc~ted
qua-fteriy cin the basis of eity population. However, monies so al locat_~'.d are
he\d in the St~te Treasury and disbursed r~ly ip ~ccordance with annual
maintenance or street improvement projec( b~dgets submitted by the City and
approved b~,the State_ Division of Highwa~s. It should-b~ ~nd~~stciod that
appropriatiti-ns of Section 2l07 funds made by the City Council in this budget
are contingent upon further and final approva1 by the State before the re-
quired monies will be released to the City. .

stricted to construction or improvement hf,,:the City 1 s State-designated "Select
System'' streets. An amount of $128,460 is recommended in 1967-68 for street
maintenance and engineering. If approved, this arr.ount, when received from
the State, wi1J be transferred from the Gas Tax Fund to the General Fund to
finance a part of the City 1 s total street maintenance and engineering programs.
Section 186.
In 1964,. the t¥1x on ga$oline was·increas·ed.with an additional ·l.04¢ per ga1lon
·.going to ,cl ties and counties. Under Section· )86~of the Streets and Highways ·
Code; tlH s mon_~y,d s fir~-~ a 11 oc;ated to the count i cs on -the basis of veh i c 1 e

Although r~v~~ue•· apportibned under this .section are paid di~ectly to the City
and may be spent wl thout prior.approval of budgets by the State. there are
several import~nt restrictions imposed by State law on.their expenditure:
First, ell expenditures are limitect:to "Select-'$ystem11 improvements which must
meet State standards of ·_design and construction. Secohd/ expenditures must
be matched with ()ther City funds;·,currently on a 1:2 ratio which will be in-_
creased-by 1969 to a· 1: 1 tatio. Thi rd;· if revenues received tinder section 186

Descrlp~l~n of Activities
In 1896, just two years after the City w.is incorporated, Pa1o Al to enter-ed
Into its first utility venture, tnat of supplying water to its residents.
The watei'.' was supp1led by City-awned wells.
However, by 1933, the City realized that the well supply ~ould not meet
future needs, so a ccmtract was signed with the City of San Francisco, in
1933, for a supplementary water supply. Early in 1950, a series of deep
wells were drHled. to meet int;reased water demand until the San Francisco
Water Oe-partmi!lnt -coold complet:e··an aqoeduct;sysfem and a distribution system
could be designed which would permit the exclusive use of imported water.
·. . In 1962, Palo Alto enten:id into a 10119-term contr<3ct with the San Francisco
Water Department for wateF·suppl I ed from its Hetch Hetchy System.
This Division of· the wa ter·Gas-Sewer Department Is res pons i b 1 e for the _.
maintenance of more than 220 miles of mains, ',500 ft re hydrants and some
J8,i.>OO meters of varying sizes. In addition to the construction, maintenance
and repair of.the.system, the Division Is responsible for water quality control,
cuuomer service, maintenance and operation of tt1e City's eleven wei ts (used
only in em~r9encies), eight booster stations and an extensive system of pumping
stations, ~eservoi rs, pressure systems and vaives. ·
Palo Al to currently has four major ~on!"lection·s to the San Francir.-:o water
system which provides resident;s with a softer and more uniform \"1ater supply
than that which comes from the City's· ~Its.
Water s•Jpply, .storf!ge~ treatment and distribution is an important part-of.

a compiex, multi:-mi1lio!l dollar enterprisfit, one ·which. requires· careful pla.nning
. and administration.· During the coming year, it is estimated that Palo Alfo will
re'lul r:e more ~han 6.600,000 C~f (hundred cubic· feet) of water during the :cemi ng ,-
year to satisfy its diverse-needs. The maximum hourly flow is expected to ·
surpass 25,000 gallons pet minute; in peak periods, d1fring the 1967-68 fis~al
year. ~

The c{ty of Pelo Alto beg."ln Its fourth major utility operation ln-1917; that
of p'rov f d Ing gas to accoTT1TI0da te the resident~ a I and corrmercl a 1 needs of the
collfnunity. Manufactured gas wes the first source of supply, and the half
century of gas servt ce began. with the purchase of the p·.-i vate I y operated
Palo Alto Gas Company.
It was notunti1 1930 that naturaJ_ga~_\f!ta~_lrtJr()d_uced in PaloA1to. 1oday,

-The first major-gas dislributton statfon was built in 1936 and was located
next to the old power plant adjacent to Rinconada Park.-For safety reasons,
the station was re 1 ocated at Emb-arcadero and Geng Roads,, in I 959 ~ The second
dfstdbutfon station was bui Jt in 1948, on A1ma Street near Colorado, and
a third station. V.1as bui It on Page Hit I Road, west of Foothi l I Expressway~
in 1965.
'The Gas Division, like the water utility, Is today a multi.-mi11ion dollar
enterprise. During the coming year It is estimated that the utility will
produc~.• gross revenue in excess of $2,500,000, and that more than 3 1 )00,000 Mcf

Palo Al to was an early 1 eader In the i nauguratloti of a sanitary sewer system.
The sys tern, wh lt:h ·had I ts beg Inn t ng ln 1898, was the C l_ty 1 s second major
utility. It consisted of a series of sewer fines wh.ich joined a single
outfall disc:iar-:Je· line, endi.ng near Embarcadero Road and the present Bayshore
Freeway.
In 1934, in a joint venture with Stanford University, the City placed in
operation one of the first modern sewage treatment plants in California, The

f n 1942, the City began providing service to ~he East Palo Al to Sa;n·i tary
District and, tn. 1950, extended complete sewage. service to· the Las Encinas
. Sanitary District~ ll'IJSt of which.has since been annexed •. The ur1~ncorporated
area of Barron Park Is ·still served under the 1950 contract~
Through the years, PaloAlto has traditlonally·e.iiphasized the vital i~portanc~
.of its sanitary sewer collectiont treatment.and dlspos.al s·ystein. Major
additions ·to the trunk system were ma~e ·in 1933 and 1956. · Last year. the·
. Charleston Trunk Sewer,' part ,of the East Trunk System, was co!TJ>iet.e_d.

is under c:onstruetfon. Studie!i are underway relating to additional improve•

needs, including possible consolidation with the Cities of Los Altos .. and
Mountain View. .
The Sewer Di vi sl on, a unit of the Water.;.Gas .. Sewer Department; is divided
into tw0 major sections: SeWage Treatment Plant and thf: sewage co1 lection

The plant is a 24•h.oui"9 'seven-da·...--a-week operation. Plant personnel are
also responsible fc»r''the mainte~ance and oper,ation.of six sewage metering
stations, which measure the fl9w from Stanford University, the Veteraqs·

-Jhe City receives its e1ectrtcal en~rgy from the Federal government's Bureau

Since the adoptlor1 of the original underg,round ordinance tn 1960, and the
aillended ordinance in 1964, the Department has estab1fshed fees, required
procedures. specifications and construction standards for the implementation
of th f s program._
The Department's capital improvement progranl:ling anticipates tliat·ovet $5
million will be invested in the undergrounding of dlstdbut1on Jines and
equipment dur1n.g the next f-ive years.· This Illustrates the City's conmit-

this installation when warranted. Based upon the sy5tem 1 s presenl load growth
and future load projections, the additional 60-kv li:le should be in operation
along with. associated rnodification of Station Sand ~he new switching Station
X by the winter of 1968 in order to a~commodate anticipated pm<Jer requirements.
Conditional upon residential grO'.">'th in the Foothills area and rate of develop
m~nt in· the Stanford Industrial Park, $200,000 is budgeted for an addition of
a .12~47-~kv •.. 15.000'."'kva transfor:rnex .. an9 a!>_so.~ia.ted switchgear· _for _Sub~t~.t~cm F
t;o increas~ capacity. as may be required. With the long deliveries being
quoted for sub~tation eq~iprnent, funds are provided for possible purchase of
eq1.,1ipment this year if the need becomes apparent.
Included is $62,000 to improve the Rinconada.Park substation site in accordance
with'--thc:Substaticn A modification Plan :.apprc'!ed by--the. C!ty Cour~·!!. Thes·.e
funds wifl provide for site development, lncl~ding a reducti~n ft slie 6f the
building 3nd enclosYre of the substation area with ~n ornamental fence .
In order to provide a spare 69-kv oil clrcuit breaker for emergency use, $15,000
has been budgeted for this purpose. Past exp~rience and potential down-t_ime
in case of any major malfunction dictates the need for this equipment. The
proposed spare bre•ker could be us~d in any of 10 substations.

budge.ted to provide 12-kv power from the proposed substation t6 serve the
area that is to be converted from 4-kv .to i 2-i<.v. east of Bayshore. Load growth
·in the area makes 12:.:.kv distribution necessary but does not yet justify con

provide greater sei-vfce r~l i abt Ii ty for present and future customers in the
Stanford Industrial Park ar~a. The duration of an outage caused by a cable
failure on either of the present radial lines.would be reduced from hours or

Underground Distribution Projects: As part of the City 9overnment 1 s continued
interest and corttni tme_nt to enhance the appearance of the _comrnuni ty by uhder.
grounding electrical utility Jines, a· total of $801,113 is budgeted to finance
11_ew_u11d~(g[_OU[ld_proje~tsjn several __ areas throughout the City. The major cofll
ponent of this is $203,000, propos-ed -for construction of an i.Jndergrouncf duct -
systerrl toncu•r'rent with the widenifrg-of-Er Camino Real -frorri Matadero Creek ·to
the southern City limits. Approximately $369.000 Is estimated for specific
underground distribution projects, including funds for the Old T,;a,ce Road·
area. Funds in the amount of about $209,000havP. been provided to finance
-·the pt!rcha~~ -and !l"Sta!!~t:iol'l of mi=itP-ri.!ls and equipment· in various new develop
ments within the City during the coming year, both as add.itJohs to ttfe system
and to repJace deteriorated or inadequate systems. In re1.:iti'6n to the-above
projects, it is expected that much of the construction costs wi I I be recovered
by asses.sments or; by connecfi on fees.
Overhead Distribution: An amount of $313,225 will be required to purchase .arid
install new po,~s. lines and servlc~s or to replace existin~ deteriorated poles,
cross arms, Conductors and associated overhead equipment. The i nstaJlat ion of
new or replacement transformers. services and meters is estimated to require
an experiditure of $168,675. Operational experience has indic~ted that activity
of this nature requires an allocation of this magnitude.

estimated that these vehlcJes, including fire and pol tee, wl 11 travel almost
two ml11ton mlles durfn9 the comltig year and wf11 require more than 225,000
gallons of gasoline.
The Central Garage also evaluates and processes requests for the rental of
other speclaUzed equipment, coordinates equipment requirements and assigns
vehlcles as needed, and suggests programs for replacement and additkns.
