CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: January 17, 2023
Subject
Consider Lawrence-Mitty Park and Trail project design direction following community outreach results.

Recommended Action
Approve Lawrence-Mitty Park and Trail project design direction following community outreach results and proceed to Final Concept Design Development.

Summary
The preferred option has been identified as Concept B, “Story Trail” (Attachment A,) with some features from Concept C, “Play It Up.” The project team seeks Council approval of the design direction for the final concept plan, considering the responses from the community in Phases 2 and 3, as well as discussions with the Bicycle Pedestrian and Parks and Recreation commissions. With this approval, the project team will proceed with the Final Concept Design Development phase that is required for the CEQA/Environmental review process.

Background
In 2002, the City of Cupertino began work on acquiring, annexing, and developing a neighborhood park on approximately eight acres of land along the westerly edge of Lawrence Expressway near Mitty Way (Lawrence-Mitty.) Of the eight acres, roughly six acres are suitable for park development. Anticipating the inclusion of the area into Cupertino as a new park, the City pre-zoned the parcels as “Park/Recreation” in 2007.

In July 2020, the City Council passed Resolution 20-092, approving the purchase of the Lawrence-Mitty site from the County of Santa Clara for $2.69 million. The site was situated within the jurisdiction, City limits, and urban service area of the City of San Jose. In April 2022, the Local Area Formation Commission approved annexation of the property into the City. The annexation process was completed in August 2022.

At the City Council Meeting on July 19, 2022, the project team provided an update on the status of the Environmental Summary Report, public outreach process, and next steps in the design process for the Lawrence-Mitty Park and Trail project. 1107
CC 01-17-2023
1107 of 1241
Council received the update and identified several areas of interest:
 safety and crime prevention
 maintenance of the public and vegetated areas
 landscaping improvements with a focus on using native species  park design options to encourage activity and preserve natural features  sound walls and/or berms
 stormwater management
 examples of other parks
 continuing outreach
Discussion
With nearly six acres of developable land, the Lawrence-Mitty site has the potential to provide open space and park amenities for the public. The open space adjacent to the creek offers residents opportunities to walk, ride, learn, and play, which is critical for a healthy community. The site proximity to Saratoga Creek and Lawrence Expressway offers unique challenges for access and jurisdictional permissions. The park features proposed will need to balance site constraints and the community’s aspirations.

In August 2021, the City released a Request for Qualifications to solicit proposals from qualified professional consultants to develop the Lawrence-Mitty site. In October 2021, MIG, Inc. (MIG) was selected as the consultant forthis project and a contract was executed in December 2021. The City worked with MIG to develop a process for implementation of the project. The project has been divided into five phases, which include:
1) Existing Site Condition and Technical Analysis
2) Community Vision
3) Conceptual Design Alternatives
4) Draft and Final Plan
5) California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Clearance To date, the project team has completed Phases 1, 2 and 3, and is currently engaged in Phase 4.

Phase 1: Existing Site Condition and Technical Analysis: Environmental Summary Report (ESR) Key considerations discussed in the ESR include site-specific opportunities and constraints associated with the following elements: site access, noise reduction, easements and utilities, soil conditions (including existing construction and demolition waste,) stormwater management, biological resources, and tree inventory. The ESR provides recommendations and design considerations for each of these elements. The report is available for review at the project’s webpage, engagecupertino.org/lawrencemitty.

Phase 2: Community Vision
This phase of the project was one of the initial activities forthe project team and centered on outreach endeavors to solicit feedback from the community regarding what was important to them and how they would like to use the future park. A list of those outreach events is listed below:
 The opportunity to provide comments about the project on the ‘Engage Cupertino’ website at engagecupertino.org/lawrencemitty  Online survey (Open March 30 to May 23, 2022) (563 responses)  Two public Pop-up events
o April 16, 2022, at the Big Bunny 5K (approximately 30 participants) o May 7, 2022, at Creekside Park during youth soccer league (approximately 30 participants)
 Virtual Community Meeting (April 27, 2022) (approximately 15 participants)  Site tour (April 30, 2022) (approximately 60 participants)  Joint Commission Meeting (June 13, 2022)
 City Council meeting (July 19, 2022)
Phase 3: Conceptual Design Alternatives
After gathering initial community input and guidance at the Joint Commission meeting and City Council, the project team moved into Phase 3 - Conceptual Design Alternatives. The consultant developed three design options based on knowledge of the environmental conditions of the site, community input, and priorities gleaned from the Parks and Recreations System Master Plan.

The conceptual design themes focused on different primary uses of the park. The three alternatives were Concept A - “Wheel Fun,” Concept B - “Story Trail,” and Concept C - “Play It Up.” More information on the features in each design option is included in the November 17, 2022, Parks and Recreation Commission Presentation (Attachment A.) The project team conducted additional outreach activities to provide information and solicit feedback on the three conceptual design alternatives. Information about the survey and future events was provided to residents using mailings, social media posts, Items of Interest, the City’s Engage Cupertino website, and at the events themselves.

Those activities were:
 Online community survey (October 3-31, 2022, with 371 responses)  Community input pop-up at the Cupertino Library (October 8, 2022, approximately 70 participants)
 Lawrence-Mitty site visit (October 15, 2022, approximately 73 participants)  Virtual community meeting (October 17, 2022, 7 participants from the public)  Bicycle Pedestrian Commission Meeting Update (November 16, 2022)  Parks and Recreation Commission Update (November 17, 2022) 1109
CC 01-17-2023
1109 of 1241
The preferred option has been identified as Concept B - “Story Trail,” with some features from Concept C - “Play It Up,“ most notably expanded play areas for a wide range of user types and abilities. This hybrid option, based on community input received by the project team, will be the basis for the next phase of design development.

Phase 4: Design Development/Looking Forward
In this (the current) phase, the project team will develop the Final Concept Plan design based on the feedback received to date, and within the context of the approved funding available for the implementation.

We are looking for Council’s confirmation and approval of the design direction for development of the Final Concept Plan. Later, the project team will seek acceptance of the Final Concept Plan by City Council. Design elements included in the Final Concept Plan may be adjusted in consideration of the available project funding for construction.

The plan will then be used to initiate CEQA clearance (Phase 5) as well as provide the basis for the final construction schedule, plans, and budget refinements.

Phase 5: California Environmental Quality Act Clearance Once a Final Conceptual Plan is developed and accepted, the project team will move into Phase 5 - CEQA Clearance. The final outcome of Phase 5 is approval of the required CEQA document for implementation of the final design. The projected timeframe for CEQA clearance is six months after final acceptance of the final concept plan by the City Council. Once CEQA clearance is obtained, the City will pursue further development of the design and construction documentation.

Next Steps:

With Council’s approval of the Concept Design direction, the team will proceed to Final Concept Plan Design Development, and CEQA Clearance phases. Following those phases, the project team will develop construction documentation for permitting and bidding purposes. Construction of the park improvements at the Lawrence-Mitty site are anticipated to begin in 2024. The duration of the construction will be dependent on the requirements of the adopted/final design elements.

If Council does not approve the proposed design direction, the project team will require specific guidance on the revised design direction and clarification on the project team’s next steps.

Sustainability Impact
This project aligns with multiple objectives outlined in Chapter 6, Environmental Resources and Sustainability, of the City’s General Plan, Community Vision 2015-2040.

Development of the Lawrence-Mitty site will emphasize elements of Goal ES-1 to ensure a sustainable future, Goal ES-5 which is to protect the City’s urban and rural ecosystems, and Goal ES-7 to ensure the protection and efficient use of all water resources. 1110

California Environmental Quality Act
As noted in this report, CEQA clearance will occur as design is completed and before the City commits to undertaking a defined project.

Fiscal Impact
The current available balance for the project is $5,952,256 after expenditures for the acquisition and annexation of the property, as well as current design services. No additional funding is required because of this report.

1 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: January 17, 2023
Subject
Public hearing on the abatement of public nuisance from weeds or other fire hazards pursuant to provisions of Cupertino Municipal Code Chapter 9.08 and Resolution No. 22-138.

Recommended Action
Conduct hearing for impacted property owners to contest the matter of proposed abatement and adopt the Draft Resolution ordering abatement of public nuisance from weeds or other fire hazards pursuant to provisions of Cupertino Municipal Code Chapter 9.08 and Resolution No. 22-138.

Discussion
The purpose of the Cupertino Weed Abatement Program is to prevent fire hazards and other nuisances posed by vegetative growth (weeds) and the accumulation of combustible materials.

This program is managed by the Santa Clara County Department of Agriculture. Cupertino Municipal Code Chapter 9.08 requires property owners to remove or destroy weeds on their property for fire and public health protection. The weed abatement process is in place to notify the property owners of this responsibility, authorize the County to remove the hazards if the property owner does not, and allow the County to recover the costs of abatement.

On November 15, 2022 the Council adopted Resolution No. 22-138, declaring the growth of weeds or the accumulation of garden refuse, cuttings and other combustible trash upon private properties to be a potential fire hazard and a public nuisance. These properties are identified on the Weed Abatement Program Commencement Report prepared by the County (Attachment B, Exhibit A in Resolution). If Council wishes to adopt the Draft Resolution (Attachment A) ordering abatement of public nuisance, property owners on the Report will have until April 30, 2023 to abate any potential fire hazards on their property.

On December 13, 2022, the County mailed a notice to property owners listed on the Weed Abatement Program Commencement Report (Attachment C) indicating that their property must be cleared of hazards according to Minimum Fire Safety Standards (Attachment E), and that the City Council would conduct a public hearing on January 17, 2023 in order to consider all property 1154
CC 01-17-2023
1154 of 1241
2 owners having any objections to the proposed removal. City notices outlining the same information were mailed on December 16, 2022 (Attachment G).

How Parcels are Added to the Program
Parcels are added to the program through service requests from members of the public, a jurisdictional representative request, or when an inspector finds a non-compliant parcel en route from one active parcel to another. The identified parcels undergo an “add year” process prior to being added to the program. The add year is a buffer year, set aside for communications with the County and for property owners to gain an understanding of the program’s concerns, or to contest. All impacted parcels are expected to maintain the Minimum Fire Safety Standards (Attachment E) for the three years following the add year. The maximum grass height standard is 6 inches. The Program will not apply any fees to the parcel tax roll on the add year, only on the monitoring years. An initial inspection fee will be applied as “pass” or “fail” during the monitoring years. If a parcel fails, the monitoring years start over, to ensure that “three consecutive years of voluntary compliance” is achieved. County field officers perform inspections a few times a year. The inspection window for Cupertino runs annually from April 30 through October 31 and properties should be maintained throughout the year. If a property is abated before the April 30 deadline then the County administrative fee will be waived.

Process for Weed Abatement Program Outlined
The process consists of eight steps that begin in November and go through August of each year, as shown on the following list. At this time the process is at Step No. 4.

1. County prepares a report of all properties that have been non-compliant in removing weeds in the last three years and provides that report to the City (Nov-Dec) (Attachment B, Exhibit A in Resolution).

2. County sends notice to the property owners on the report notifying them of the hearing date and explaining that they must remove or destroy weeds by the abatement deadline of April 30, 2023 or it will be done for them, with cost of the abatement plus administrative costs assessed to their property (Nov-Dec) (Attachment H). The City also sends a courtesy letter to property owners listed on the report, notifying them of the hearing and the abatement deadline. If a property is abated before the April 30 deadline then the initial inspection fee will be waived (Jan).

3. City sends a courtesy letter to property owners listed on the report, notifying them of the hearing and the abatement deadline (Attachment G). If a property is abated before the April 30 deadline then the initial inspection fee will be waived.

4. City Council holds the hearing to consider objections by property owners and adopts a resolution declaring weeds a public nuisance and ordering abatement (Jan). 1155
CC 01-17-2023
1155 of 1241
3 5. County sends a courtesy letter to property owners listed on the report, notifying them again of the abatement deadline, and noting that they will work with the property owner to be sure the weeds are removed (Jan-Feb).

6. City sends a courtesy letter to property owners listed on the report, reminding them of the abatement deadline and that the initial inspection fee will be waived if the property is abated before the deadline (Mar).

7. After April 30, the properties are inspected by the County to verify that weeds were removed and proceeds with abatement if the property fails the inspection. The County makes a report of all costs associated with the abatement and provides that report to the City (June-July). The County also provides a report of costs associated with the initial inspection fee for compliant properties, for payment by the City and a report that includes properties that failed the inspection and associated costs proposed to be assessed.

8. City notifies the property owners listed on the assessment report, notifying them of the hearing date. (July-Aug)

9. City Council holds a hearing, considers any disputes, and adopts a resolution placing a lien assessment on the properties to allow the County to recover the cost of weed and/or brush abatement (July-Aug).

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact at this step in the process. If a property is abated before the April 30 deadline, the County administrative fee will be waived for the assessment hearing in July/August.

Any waived administrative fees will be billed to the City by the County to cover their cost of servicing the property. In 2021, the first year of inspection fees cost paid by the City for compliant properties was $7,896. In 2022, the second-year inspection fees cost for compliant properties was $10,465. A third-year trend estimation of costs to be covered by the City is $13,034. These costs are funded by the General Fund.

Sustainability Impact
There is no sustainability impact.

The Santa Clara County Weed
Abatement Program
The Santa Clara County Consumer and Environmental Protection Agency and your city are working together to protect your community from fire. We need your help. Please read and follow the directions provided in this brochure regarding fire prevention on your property. The purpose of the Weed Abatement Program is to prevent fire hazards posed by vegetative growth and the accumulation of combustible materials.

The Weed Abatement program is entirely funded from fees charged to residents. Fees will be assessed for any property in the program.

This is to cover the cost of the compliance inspection for the property. Properties that fail the compliance inspection will be charged a failed inspection fee, even if the resident completes the weed abatement. If the property requires abatement by the County contractor, the property owner will be responsible for the actual cost of abatement plus an administrative fee. Properties that meet and maintain the minimum fire safety standards will not be charged other than the annual fee.

Program staff annually inspect parcels at the beginning of the fire season, which is typically in March or April depending on your jurisdiction. If the parcel is not in compliance at the time of inspection, the property owner will be charged a failed inspection fee, and the owner will be sent a courtesy notice as a reminder to abate the weeds. If the weeds are not abated by the property owner, the work will be completed by the County contractor. The property owner will pay the contractor’s fees plus a County administrative fee. All fees will be included in your property tax bill.

Our Goal Is Voluntary Compliance
Property Owner’s Responsiblilities
• Do not allow a fire hazard to exist on your property. The Minimum Fire Safety Standards (MFSS) in this brochure give you guidelines to follow in order to maintain your property and protect against a fire hazard. Please contact our office if you need guidance or have any questions regarding the requirements!
• Make arrangements to have your property maintained throughout the year. Contractors can be found in the yellow pages. You may choose to have the County contractor maintain your property. A current price list is included in your packet.
• Please complete and return the Reply Form provided in your mailing packet by the date on the form. Indicate your preference regarding performance of weed abatement services.

Program Staff Responsibilities
• Weed Abatement Inspectors will perform periodic inspections on all parcels included in the Santa Clara County Weed Abatement Program. Properties that fail the compliance inspection will be charged a failed inspection fee, even if the resident completes the weed abatement.
• Inspectors will order the County contractor to perform all necessary abatement work on any parcel where the MFSS are not met. An attempt will be made to give the owner a courtesy notice prior to releasing the work order.
• The County contractor uses several methods of abatement including discing and handwork. The property owner is free to select whatever method they choose, provided the MFSS of all federal, state and local laws are met.
• The Weed Abatement Program will place inspection costs and the charges for County contractor services plus a County administrative fee on the property owner’s tax bill during the next fiscal year.

Burrowing Owls
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why have I received an Abatement Notice?
A. Typically, a property is placed on the program if a Weed Abatement Inspector identified a potential fire hazard on the property. Fire Departments and other agencies also submit complaints to the Weed Abatement Program.

Q. What is required of me now that I am in the Program? A. All property owners are required to maintain their property free of fire hazards throughout the year.

Q. The grasses planted on my property are fire resistant. Are they exempt from the Weed Abatement program?
A. No. Even grasses that possess some fire resistant qualities are not fire proof, and they can add fuel to any site that is subject to a fire. Additionally, fire resistant grasses are rarely found in a pure, homogenous stand but rather are usually found to occur mixed with other common introduced annual grasses that are highly flammable and hazardous in a fire event. Finally, many grasses occur in Santa Clara County and species identification is difficult in the field, especially after the spring when the reproductive portions required for identification have dried and dispersed. Weed Abatement Inspectors can only focus on the presence of grasses and weeds on your property and the Minimum Fire Safety Standards, and not on grass species identification. Therefore, all grasses are required to be below 6 inches in height.

Q. What is the SC County Weed Abatement Program?
A. This is a monitoring program and our primary objective is voluntary compliance. See the first two paragraphs of this brochure for further specifics.

These small owls nest in abandoned ground squirrel
burrows. Discing collapses the burrows and kills the young.

These owls are listed as a state Species of Special Concern and are protected by the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. If you suspect burrowing owls on your property you must use another form of weed abatement such as mowing or weedeating. If you request the County perform abatement services, please notify program staff or your City if burrowing owls are known to exist on your property.

More FAQ:

Q. How long will I be on the Program?
A. Your property will remain on the Program for three years. If no hazards are found during that time, your property may be removed from the program.

Q. How much will this cost me?
A. There will be an annual fee to cover the cost of the compliance inspection. If the parcel does not meet the MFSS when it is first inspected in the spring, or if work is required by the County contractor, you will be charged additional fees. Our goal is to ensure that the MFSS are met at the lowest possible cost to the property owner.

Q. How will I be billed?
A. Any charges for the inspection and any abatement work performed will appear as a special assessment on your next property tax bill.

Q. Why have you performed work on my property while the vegetation is still green?
A. Grass, weeds or piles of combustible debris have been declared a public nuisance by your jurisdiction. Abating fire hazards in the spring minimizes the volume of combustible material before the hazards increase and dries out completely during the peak fire season.

Q. Will you notify me prior to beginning abatement work? A. Property owners are responsible for preventing fire hazards on their property. If the MFSS have been met, but further work is necessary, you will receive notice prior to the County contractor performing the work. If the MFSS have not been met, an attempt will be made to give the owner a courtesy notice prior to initial abatement.

Q. Where can I find someone to provide abatement
services?
A. Weed Abatement contractors can be found in the Yellow Pages under “Weed Control Services” or “Discing Services”.

You may have the County contractor perform the necessary work; see your mailing packet for a current price list as administrative costs are charged.

Q. How can I get additional information or assistance
regarding the specific requirements for my property?
A. Weed Abatement Inspectors are available to assist you and answer your questions. Please call our Customer Service line at (408) 282-3145 to schedule a consultation with program staff or to obtain additional information.

Q. I have Grazing Animals do I need to perform abatement? A. Grazing animals do not absolve you of your responsibilities to provide a fire safe condition on your property. You will need to check with our office to determine if grazing is adequate or if additional work is required.

Re: Weed Abatement Season Commencement and January 17, 2023 Public Hearing Your property has been placed on the enclosed Weed Abatement Program Commencement Report for public nuisance (weeds) pursuant to Section 9.08 of the Cupertino Municipal Code. Please refer to the attached Minimum Fire Safety Standards (MFSS) guidelines to make the corrections that are necessary and avoid the County administrative fee. The Cupertino City Council will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, January 17, 2023 at 6:45 p.m., in the Council Chamber in the Community Hall, City of Cupertino or via a teleconference meeting if authorized pursuant to Government Code section 54953(e). All properties identified by the Agricultural Commissioner as being noncompliant with Weed Abatement Program safety regulations will be declared to have hazardous conditions requiring abatement. Details on how to attend the meeting will appear on the City Council Agenda for that date.

About the Weed Abatement Program
The Santa Clara County Department of Agriculture and Environmental Management and the City of Cupertino are working together to prevent fire hazards posed by vegetative growth and accumulation of combustible materials.

Property owners are required to keep their property free of fire hazards—such as weeds— throughout the year. However, the Minimum Fire Safety Standards (MFSS) are required to be met each year by the April 30 deadline and then maintained throughout the year.

Vegetation must not exceed six inches in height any time after the compliance deadline.

Please see the reverse side of this page for the complete MFSS guidelines.

County staff annually inspect parcels at the beginning of the fire season, which is typically in March or April. If the property is not in compliance, the property owner will pay a fee equal to the contractor’s charges plus a County administrative fee. All fees will be included in your property tax bill. If your property is abated before the April 30 deadline then the County administrative fee will be waived.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: January 17, 2023
Subject
Consider approving amendments to Elected Officials’ Compensation Program Recommended Action
Adopt Resolution #23‐XXX amending the Elected Employeesʹ Compensation Program Discussion
In July 2019, the City negotiated and approved Health in Lieu benefits as part of labor contract negotiations with the Cupertino Employeesʹ  Association (ʺCEAʺ). By City Resolution No. 19‐ 144, the Health in Lieu benefit, as amended, was adopted by the City Council for appointed, CEA represented employees, unrepresented employees, and elected officials. Following adoption of Resolution 19‐144, the   City Attorney’s Office determined that the Health in Lieu benefit was inconsistent with limits on compensation for elected officials in Government Code section 36516.  To bring the Elected Employees’ Compensation Program into compliance with state law, staff recommends removal of the existing policy language to remove references to the Health in Lieu benefit.1 Additionally, the Innovation and Technology (IT) Department has revised the language in the Council Technology Policy. The existing policy provides a technology stipend for Councilmembers to purchase hardware and software for official business purposes. This City Manager policy has been revised to address cybersecurity and records preservation concerns and to ensure that Councilmembers can be fully supported by the IT Department. Underthe revised policy, Councilmembers may elect to be issued equipment for the performance of official City business. Data contained within the equipment is public property and considered a public record, therefore subject to all Public Records Act and Brown Act policies. Councilmembers, upon completion of their term, will return all issued equipment to the Innovation & Technology Department.

Sustainability Impact
No sustainability impact.
1 All impacted Councilmembers were required to return Health in Lieu payments made by the City.
