related rate schedules, with the tollowing change:
a.
b.
Accep~ed staff's reco~endatior. for an alter
native Refuse rate structure for one and two
can residential service. The new rates would
encourage recycling by: raising the one-can
service rate above the current level of $9.25;
raising the two-can rate to exactly twice the
current one-can rate, thereby increasing the
difference between the one-can and the two-can
rate.
Public Works staff will return in the fall of
1991 with an inverted rate structure for ~11
rate cateqories (residential, commercial,
industrial, retail, etc.) of refuse collection

~TI:QDL rPMIS
Further research by staff has indicated that a proposed reduction
of ~50tOOO for the ~ainten~nce done by the Electric Fund en city
communications lines (paqes 42-43 of the proposed budget) has other
implications. The communication lines serve not only fire boxes,
but also Signal the dispatch center it auto~atic buil~inq systems
(sprinkler system, burglar alarms, etc.) are activated in re~ote
City facilities (MSC,. Downtown Library, Ventura School). stllff
still recommends that Ci~y communication lines no longer be main
tained because they are not adequate to offer reliable ~uildinq
monitoring. Hovev'er, monitoring of building systems Sihould still
be provided for safety and for facility protection. For this
reason, staff r~commends that an "dditional $20,000 be added to the
FacilitieG Management Division in Public Works to pay for startup
costs for neW' service with a private security company. staff
believes there are private firms in the area that can offer more
reliable service. Ths net reduction in 1991-92 will therefore be
$30,000 rather than the $50,000 originally proposed. It is
expected tl:1at ongoing fees for this service, once startup costs
have occurred, will be in the $5,000 per year range.
Staff also recommends the incorporation of a tee to comply with the
expected passage of a new State law requiring a minor surcharge on
building permits for the Stronq Motion Instrumentat~on program.
Funds would be passed through to the State to equip buildings in
selected areas with seismic m.:>nitorinq equipme:1t.. The tot"!.l amount
expected from Palo Alto permits is $16,000, all of which \lfill be
passed to the State.
CIAlfGIS III COMMUNITY DEYELCPHEN'l' 'LOCI GRANT (CDR G) PROPOSAL
In response to an April 4, ~9'9-1 Konitoring Report fro:m the
Depa.rtment of Housing and Urban Development, staff is revising the
Palo Alto Housing Corporation (FAHC) contract with the City to
reflect changes 5u9qested by Housing and Urban Development (HUn)
and City staff to bring the City into compliance with feder.,l
regulations. The modifications will require that $20,000 in non
COBG funding be used for non-CDBG-eliqible portions of the City's
contract with PAliC. staft recommends that the $20,000 requireo
come from the Housing In-Lieu Fund reserves. The $20,000 will be
appropriated to the Housing In-Lieu Commercial Account for

guldelines4 The total amount of the PARe contract will be $95,000
-$75,000 of CDBC funding and $20,000 trom the Housing-In-Lieu
Fund. This amount is a reduction from the original PAHC request of
$107 .. 200, approved by the citizen's Advisory committee and the
Finance and Public Works Committee~
P.Ltpptryz RIDOC'JIOI iROpoJAld!
The total General Fund impact of staff and F'PW"s recomDendations
is a. further dra.· on reserves of $144,205. Staff recommends a
combination of $45,000 in fee changes, a SID, GOO reduction to the
Arts and CUlture Division of the Community Services Department, and
an $89,000' reduction tf') the Public Works Department, totalling
$144,000, as replacement reductions~ The reductions are to the
community Services operating budget and to General Fund st.r:aet

New Press Packet Fee $2,400
Charging a Press Packet Fee of $aOO/year will help to
recover the costs of reproducing packeto for the San Jose
Mercury, Peninsula Times Tribune, and Palo Alto Weekly.
Providing a free weekly packet is an extraordinary
service.
New Councii Candidates Filing Fee and
Non-incumbent Pac~et Fee $3,5-00
These new-fees are proposed to help recover the costs of
providing packets to non-incumbent Council Candidates,
and administrative costs associated with the filing for
elections~
Th~ following three fee increases in the Planning Division
would increase cost recovery from 70 percent of total costs to
75 percent of total costs for fee-related services.

Additional community se.rvices reductions totalling $10,000 are
proposed. They include redUctions of $7,500 in 6upplies and
materials in Arts and CUlture, and a reduction of $2,500 in City
support for the Brown Bag Concert series, which staff believes can
be funde~ trom private support. F*PW's restoration of funds for
the CUltural Center Oirecto~ and various arts contracts in the Arts
and CUlture Division resulted i~ no reductions to that Division.
These new recommendations :make the burden of reductions more
equitable within that de~rtment.
Staff is also recoItllll.ending a $S9, 000 reduction in fUTIding for
contract street repairs in the Public Works Department. The
red.uction would be made to 1990-91 street resurfacing contract
monies that ~ill not be spent by year-end and which ~ould normally
be requested to be reappropriated. Staff is not proposing a
reduction in 1991-92 street resurfacing funding, in order not to
jeopardize State ql"a7lt reimbursements for 1991-92. The impact of
the reduction ~ill be that approximately 9-1Q low traffic,
primarily residential st~eets will not have resurfacing work done
next year~ This is not a service level reduction, rather a one
time reduction in rundin9~
aeco ... ndlatioD
A formal pUblic hearing is required prior to the budqet adoption~
Sta:t:f recommends adoption of the Proposed 1991-92 Budqet and
Capital Improvement program, along with the changes detailed in the
Amendments to the Proposed Budqet and the Municipal Fee SChedule.
App~oval of the rate an~ fee resolutions is also requested, along
with the 1991-92 Investment Policy, and an amendment to the city's
contract with the Palo Alto Sanitation Company (PASCO}. The
Council may remove, after holding the public hearing on the budget,
specific items for discussion at the discretion of the members of
the council and propose amendments to the main motion for adoption~
