In your application, you indicated other properties with fences in the public right-of-way, highlighting those with tall decorative driveway gates. The key difference is that these properties have low fences (3 ½ feet tall) with unlocked gates - allowing unrestricted access to the public right-of-way. To assist you in meeting your needs, a similar compromise was offered to you. However, your e-mail dated July I, 2024, makes clear your intent to pursue the terms of your original encroachment permit application.
At this point, the tall fence in the public right-of-way would have to be: 1) lowered to 3 ½ feet tall or 2) relocated from the public right-of-way. Additionally, the wooden fence built within the public right- of-way along your northerly property line must be lowered or removed due to similar safety concerns cited above. Please note that if you choose to keep a lowered fence within the public right-of-way, you will need to sign the "Agreement for Private Improvements in the Public Right-of-Way" as previously discussed with staff.
This action may be appealed to the City Council by submitting a request in writing to the City Clerk, including payment of an Appeal Fee of $300.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact Roger Storz at ( 408) 866-2190 or [email protected].
Sincerely,
Amy Olay
City Engineer

Re: File No: ENG-2024-186-R1
Address: 411 Carlyn Avenue
Application: Encroachment Permit for Private Improvements in the Public Right of-way Status: Denied
Members of the Campbell City Council;
We would like to appeal the decision made by Campbell’s Public Works Department. Public Works has denied our application for an Encroachment Permit to install a 5’3” fence/sliding gate inside the public right-of-way along the sidewalk in our front yard.
The reason for the tall fence is for my family’s safety. We are senior citizens. During the COVID pandemic, we experienced racial slurs due to our Asian ethnicity which directly caused my wife to suffer anxiety attacks. We also wish to discourage unwanted individuals from entering our property. We have had our house burglarized. We have had our Toyota 4Runner broken into twice in the past eight years.
We have had two individuals on separate occasions sleep under a tree in our yard and another individual “take a shower” with the hose in our front yard. Just this past Saturday, a homeless man slept on the sidewalk between our house and our neighbor’s house. Next time will it be in our yard? With Governor Newsom ordering communities to breakup homeless encampments, where are the homeless going to go? To our neighborhoods? We regularly read crime reports that report individuals are knocking on doors at all hours of the night, breaking into and stealing cars, and stealing packages. We have also purchased a camper van and wish to discourage individuals from breaking into our van. We expect to take long journeys in our van and again, want to discourage individuals using our yard for sleeping, showering, defecating, or from breaking into our home.
On April 24, 2024, Campbell’s Community Development Department approved our request for a Fence Exception contingent on some conditions being met. One of the conditions was to build the fence on the property line and not along the sidewalk in the public right-of-way. Since we want our fence to be installed in the public right-of-way along the sidewalk, I was instructed to file for an Encroachment Permit with the Campbell’s Public Works Department. On June 21, I met with Mr. Roger Storz and Mr.
John Burchfiel from the Public Works Department to look at the yard and discuss the fence. Mr. Storz had two main arguments against approving the Encroachment Permit. The first and main argument for denying the Encroachment Permit is because the fence we want to install is 5’3” tall and has locking gates. Mr. Storz stated that since the fence/gate is in the public right-of-way, the City and utility companies would not have access to this area and private property owners cannot claim exclusive use and restrict usage of this area. On July 31, Mr. Storz sent me an email with a denial letter attached. On Applicant's Appeal to City Council
10.g
Packet Pg. 189
Attachment: Appeal to City Council (Appeal of Public Works Denial to Construct a 5'3 Fence in Public ROW) August 5, 2024, we sent Mr. Storz an email requesting he reconsider his denial. We stated that since the tall fence and locking gate would restrict access to the City and utility companies, we would be willing to not have locking gates and would not install a pedestrian gate. This would give the City and utility workers complete access to our yard and would not restrict them in anyway. We realize this basically defeats our safety desires, but we feel the tall fence by itself will serve as a deterrent. Unfortunately, Mr. Storz left for vacation from August 5 through August 23 and will be unable to see our compromise.
We would also like to point out that at no time has Mr. Storz and the Public Works Department ever acknowledged any concern for the safety of my family.
The second argument was that approving the Encroachment Permit for allowing a tall fence in the public right-or-way would set a precedent. We don’t see it that way. If another homeowner wants to install a tall fence in the public right-of-way, they would need to go through the same process that we did. The homeowner would need to pay a $1,250+ fee and file for a Fence Exception with the Community Development Department. The Community Development Department could easily deny any unqualified request and Code Enforcement could demand the fence be removed if the homeowners have already built their fence. If the Fence Exception is approved, the homeowners would have to pay another fee and get an Encroachment Permit from Public Works. If the Encroachment Permit is denied, the homeowners would have to pay another fee to appeal to the City Council, as we are doing now.
I will attach our Fence Exemption letter so you can review the specs of the fence. It meets all the requirements for the Fence Exemption. I will also attach a picture of the portion of the fence that was installed (since removed) so you can see the beauty of the fence and also see that it does not obstruct any views. Finally, I will attach a photo of the homeless person sleeping on the sidewalk.
In closing, we respectfully request that the members of Campbell’s City Council override Mr. Storz and the Public Works Department denial of our Encroachment Permit and allow us to install a 5’3” fence/gate with no automatic gate opener, no locking gates, and no pedestrian gate next to our sidewalk and in the public works right-of-way, meeting the Public Works Department’s requirement.
We thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Stan & Nobuko Ito

RE: Request for Fence Exception at 411 Carlyn Avenue, Campbell, CA Dear Mr. Eastwood:
We, Stanley and Nobuko Ito, are requesting per Campbell Code of Ordinances 21.18.060, paragraph E, a fence exception at the above mentioned property. We would like to install an approximate 5’3” tall (depends on the how level the concrete sidewalk is), ornamental, powder-coated, galvanized steel fence in the front yard next to the concrete sidewalk and on our property line that separates our property from our neighbor at 397 Carlyn Avenue. The fence panels are 58” (4’10”) tall (as shown in Fence Detail), but will be installed approximately 5” above the concrete sidewalk. The fence posts will be cut to be the same height as the panels. Across the driveway, the fence will have a 19’ sliding gate as well as a 36” wide pedestrian gate. Since the pickets on each fence/gate panel are ¾” every 4 ½” (as described in the Fence Detail), visibility through the fence will not be an issue. The portion of the fence/gate that exceeds the height limitation shall be more than the fifty percent open to the passage of light and air, as required in paragraph F of the same ordinance. Additionally, our neighbor whose property borders the fence does not object to the height of the fence being installed. We have talked with Campbell’s Public Works Department and were informed by them that Public Works would allow the position of the fence along the sidewalk as long as the Planning Department approves the exception request.
The purpose of the higher fence is for our safety. We are senior citizens and my wife suffers from anxiety attacks. In addition, we have experienced racial slurs due to our Asian ethnicity. We also wish to discourage unwanted individuals from entering our property. In 2006-2007, we had our house broken into and various items stolen. We called the police and filed a report but no one was arrested and charged. In the past eight years, our Toyota 4Runner has been broken into twice. We have had two individuals sleep under trees in our yard and another individual “take a shower” with the hose in our front yard. We did not call the police on these past incidents because we were afraid to agitate these individuals and have them retaliate against us or our house. We regularly read crime reports that report individuals are knocking on doors at all hours of the night, breaking into and stealing cars, and stealing packages. We have also purchased a camper van and wish to discourage individuals from breaking into our van. We expect to take long journeys in our van and again, want to discourage individuals using our yard for sleeping, showering, defecating, or from breaking into our home.
As explained below, the requested fence exception meets the four requirements:
1. The change would not impair pedestrian or vehicular safety.
The proposed fence and gate are of powered-coated, galvanized steel design. Since the pickets on each fence/gate panel are ¾” wide and each picket is 4 ½” apart, a clear line-of-sight through
10.g
Packet Pg. 192
Attachment: Appeal to City Council (Appeal of Public Works Denial to Construct a 5'3 Fence in Public ROW) the fence/gate will not be an issue. The sliding gate will not swing outward nor inward, and will not block the sidewalk nor impair traffic.
2. The change would result in a more desirable site layout.
The fence is ornamental and powdered-coated in black. Unlike wooden fences and painted fences, a powdered-coated fence is highly resistant to corrosion, flaking, peeling, and scratching.
The fence will be more durable than wooden fences also since it will not sag and will be more difficult to damage. The fence blends in well and is not highly visible when driving down the street. It will not be and is not a distraction.
3. The change would not be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood.
Since the fence/gate is powder coated, no special solvents or cleaners are necessary for maintenance which is better for the environment. Water is all that is necessary to keep it clean.
The gate slides on the inside of the fixed fence. It does not swing open across the sidewalk and into the street so it will not impact foot traffic on the sidewalk nor will it impact cars driving in the street. The Topen’s automatic sliding gate opener will open/close the gate at a speed of 8” per second so the 19’ gate would take 28.5 seconds to open/close. The opener has a built-in safety mechanism which automatically reverses the gate in case of obstruction during closing and stops the gate in case of obstruction during opening. The amount of noise from the opener is < 50 decibels (dB). All sounds between 31-60 dB are considered quiet so 50 dB will not be harmful to human hearing. Other than these possible concerns, the fence will not be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort or general welfare to our neighbors or those working in the neighborhood.
4. The change would not be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the city.
The fence is not detrimental nor injurious to the property and improvements in the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the city. It is securing our property and adding to our safety. It will also increase safety by allowing full view into our front yard to law enforcement officers. It may discourage individuals from entering our yard and potentially having a confrontation with us.
We appreciate your consideration and we look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Stanley and Nobuko Ito

Report
TITLE: Updates to Campbell Municipal Code 3.20 - City Manager Award Threshold, Formal Bidding Requirements, and Pass -Through Consultant Agreements (Ordinance/Roll Call Vote)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
That the City Council introduce and hold a first reading of an Ordinance amending Section 3.20 of the Campbell Municipal Code to update the City Manager's award threshold amount to reflect current economic conditions, modify current formal solicitation bidding requirements, keep language consistent with the California Public Contracts Code, add language surrounding pass -through consultant contracts, and add clarifying language on threshold limits.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This item includes three interrelated modifications to the City’s purchasing and procurement policies. The first and second modifications responds to findings from the 2023 Baker Tilly audit of the City’s purchasing system that recommends increasing the City Manager’s contract award threshold and proposes a modification to the practice of seeking City Council authority prior to soliciting bids. And the third modification establishes policies and procedures for “pass through” funded consultant contracts administered by the Community Development Department, as reviewed by the City Council at the March 5, 2024 meeting. As these actions will affect the City’s purchasing and procurement ordinances and policies, they are being presented to the City Council together.
BACKGROUND
In April 2023, Baker Tilly, an outside consultant, conducted an assessment of the City of Campbell’s (“City”) purchasing system to determine areas of optimization for the City.
The assessment included interviews held with the consultant’s project team and small group discussions with staff members from Finance, Public Works, and the City Manager’s Office, the review of existing policies and procedures, analysis of two sets of purchasing transactions, facilitation of two process mapping sessions, and the evaluation of purchasing positions and structures of peer agencies. After the assessment was completed, Baker Tilly prepared a report outlining its findings. The report focused on its evaluation of citywide procurement functions for consistency, policy clarity, compliance, and overall best practices and ethics.

Meeting Date: October 1, 2024

Updates to Campbell Municipal Code 3.20 Page 2 of 6
As a result of the assessment, Baker Tilly prepared several recommendations for improvement designed to facilitate clarity and consistency of policies and procedures, mitigate risk, and incorporate best procurement practices for the purchasing environment. Baker Tilly presented these recommendations at the June 6, 2023 City Council meeting. Staff is bringing two of those recommendations before the City Council for consideration and approval as they are recommendations that can be quickly addressed and will streamline the City procurement processes. Staff will continue to review the other recommendations and return with next steps as appropriate.
I. City Manager Contract Award Threshold & Pre-Solicitation Approval One of Baker Tilly’s recommendations was to increase the City Manager’s contract award threshold amount for goods and services from the current threshold limit of $49,999.99 to $100,000 and to index it for periodic adjustments based on economic conditions. In addition, Baker Tilly recommended a modification to the formal solicitation requirements to eliminate the practice of receiving approval from the City Council prior to conducting formal solicitations, for supplies, services, and equipment purchases, when the supplies, service, and/or equipment is already accounted for in the current fiscal year’s adopted budget. This would apply to contracts for supplies, services, and equipment with an estimated fair market value greater than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). These two changes allow for City Manager thresholds to account for changing economic conditions and improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the City’s procurement processes.
II. Pass Through Funded Consultant Agreements
In addition to the recommendations from Baker Tilly, o n March 5, 2024, Community Development Department staff presented to City Council a procurement enhancement that would improve and standardize the City’s procedures as they relate to the expenditure of non -City (“pass through”) funds to prepare specialized technical studies for development projects under review by the City. Currently, the City does not have a defined process in its ordinance or formal policies for executing “pass -through” agreements with consultants when the work is funded by private applicants. Staff is proposing that the City adopt new policies that distinguish “pass -through” funded agreements from publicly funded agreements and establish a process where consultants can be placed on a n established “bench” from which they can be selected to conduct a specific technical study. A streamlined process would be put in place to select the consultants to prepare a technical study for a specific project.
The proposed approach would establish two “benches” as follows:
11 Packet Pg. 198
Updates to Campbell Municipal Code 3.20 Page 3 of 6
• Master Service Agreements - Consultants under contract with the City to prepare environmental documents (such as an EIR) or highly specialized technical studies.
• Pre-Qualified Consultants - A list of pre -qualified consultants that are available to be hired directly by private applicants to conduct technical studies (such as a noise impact study).
Council reviewed the proposal at their March 5, 2024 meeting and provided favorable feedback, with direction to incorporate a rotation of consultants and a 5-year time period for the bench.
DISCUSSION
I. City Manager Contract Award Threshold & Pre-Solicitation Approval Modifying the award threshold amount that the City Manager can approve for goods and services contracts and modifying formal solicitation requirements requires an ordinance amending Section 3.20 of the Campbell Municipal Code.
In addition to the findings reported in Baker Tilly’s report, City staff surveyed and compared purchasing limits currently in effect at various cities in Santa Clara County.
Based on this research, the City’s current purchasing limits are generally below the purchasing limits of other cities in Santa Clara County.
The table below shows a sampling of various cities’ administrative purchasing authority thresholds:
Santa Clara County Agency Purchasing Limits & Approval Authorities City of Campbell • Up to $49,999.99 – City Manager Approval • Over $50,000 –City Council approval
City of Cupertino • Up to $60,000 – Staff Approval
• $60,001 - $200,000 – City Manager Approval
• Over $200,000 – City Council Approval
City of Gilroy • Up to $99,999 – City Manager Approval
• $100,000 and up –City Council approval
Town of Los Gatos • $5,001 - $49,999 – Staff Approval
• $50,000 - $100,000 –Town Manager Approval
• Over $100,000 –Town Council Approval
City of Monte Sereno • Up to $15,000 – Staff Approval
• $15,000 - $25,000 – City Manager Approval
• $25,000 or greater – City Council Approval
City of Morgan Hill • Up to $25,000 – Staff Approval
11 Packet Pg. 199
Updates to Campbell Municipal Code 3.20 Page 4 of 6
II. Pass Through Funded Consultant Agreements
Staff is recommending that the formal solicitation requirements of section 3.20.030 of the Campbell Municipal Code be modified to add an additional part (9), “where the source of funding is procured by non -city funds from an applicant for a development project and when a Professional Service Agreement is executed in accordance with section 3.20.110 and the addition of section 3.20.110 – Pass-Through Professional Service Agreements stating that,
“Professional Service Agreements for services to be provided in association with a development project using non-city funds procured from an applicant, may be approved and executed by the City Manager or his designee as referenced in the City’s administrative policy”.
The proposed Ordinance code changes and accompanying administrative policies will establish procedures for pass through agreements as follows , incorporating previous Council direction:
Approval for Master Service Agreements. A distribution of Request for Qualifications (RFQ) will be solicited for the preparation of environmental documents and technical studies that involve a high degree of technical complexity and/or iterative development, warranting strict oversight by the City, transportation -related studies, historical evaluations or similar studies as determined by the Department Head. City Council will approve the selected consultant(s) and the Master City Agreement(s) for the specified term of 5-years. Administrative procedures will identify that selection of consultants from this list to prepare studies be rotational.
• $25,000 - $60,000 –City Manager Approval
• Over $60,000 –City Council Approval
City of Mountain View • Up to $20,000– Staff Approval
• $20,000 - $100,000 – City Manager Approval
• Over $100,000 – City Council Approval
City of Palo Alto • Up to $85,000 – Staff Approval
• $85,001 - $250,000 – City Manager Approval
• Over $250,000 – City Council Approval
City of Santa Clara • Up to $15,000 – Staff Approval
• $15,001 - $250,000 – Purchasing Division
Manager Approval
• Over $250,000 – City Council Approval
City of Saratoga • Up to $25,000 – City Manager Approval • Over $25,000 – City Council Approval
11 Packet Pg. 200
Updates to Campbell Municipal Code 3.20 Page 5 of 6
Creation of a Pre -Qualified Consultant List. A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) will be released by the Department Head to vet and fill a pre-qualified list of consultants that can perform certain technical studies, and can be hired directly by a private applicant .
Selected consultants will be designated to the pre -qualified list for a period of five (5) years and be subject to review of provided studies, reports, and/or documentation. If additional consultants are needed, the department may conduct a subsequent Request for Qualifications to fill or renew the pre-qualified consultant list.
Summary of Recommendations
Attached to this staff report, for approval, is an ordinance amending and/or adding the following Sections of and to the Municipal Code:
Section 3.20 - to allow for the award threshold amount that the City Manager can approve for goods and services contracts to increase to $100,000 and to modify the formal solicitation requirements to eliminate the practice of obtaining City Council approval prior to conducting formal solicitations for supplies, services, and equipment purchases, when the supplies, service, and/or equipment is already accounted for in the current fiscal year’s adopted budget.
Section 3.20.030 - to allow for the addition of part (9) “ “where the source of funding is procured by non -city funds from an applicant for a development project and when a Professional Service Agreement is executed in accordance with section 3.20.110”.
Section 3.20.110 – to add language for Pass-Through Professional Service Agreements as follows:
(1) “Professional Service Agreements for services to be provided in association with a development project using non -city funds procured from an applicant, may be approved and executed by the City Manager or his designee as referenced in the City’s administrative policy”.
If approved, the ordinance would return to Council for a second reading and final adoption on October 15, 2024. If approved at the second reading, the ordinance would become effective thirty (30) days thereafter, on November 14, 2024.
