1. GENERAL
The Rates for Rate Period One are as specified in Table 8-2 of Section 8.2 and Exhibit G3 of this Agreement.
Subject to the terms herein, and beginning with Rate Period Four, the City shall adjust all Rates on an annual basis for each Rate Period in accordance with Exhibit E1 or E2, as provided in Article 8 and otherwise in this Agreement.
Contractor shall submit its application for a Rate adjustment to the City Contract Manager on or before August 1 of each Rate Period where Rates shall be adjusted using the index-based methodology described in Exhibit E1. Contractor shall submit its application on or before August 1 for any Rate Period where Rates shall be adjusted using the cost-based methodology described in Exhibit E2. Contractor’s Rate application shall document all calculations and include all supporting schedules, documentation of perTon charges for Approved Facilities, documentation of changes in governmental fees at Approved Facilities (if applicable), and any other documentation or evidence determined by the City Contract Manager to be reasonably necessary to ensure that the calculation of Rate adjustments has been performed in strict conformance to the requirements of this Exhibit E.
The City Council shall make a good faith effort to approve Rates by January 1 of each year, and such Rates shall be effective on each subsequent February 1. If Rates are not effective by February 1 due to a delay caused solely by the City, the City shall allow Contractor to retroactively bill Customers for the amount of the Rate increase for any period of said delay that is solely caused by the City (subject to the City’s approval of how the retroactive adjustment is billed) or the City may compensate Contractor for lost Gross Receipts.
In the case of a delayed Rate adjustment, Contractor may bill the Customer during the next billing cycle to recoup the deferred Rate increase. If Rates are not effective by February 1 as a result of Contractor’s delay in submitting the Rate application in a complete and accurate form, then prior Rates remain in effect until such adjustment is made and Contractor shall not be entitled to a retroactive adjustment for lost Gross Receipts.
2. DEFINITIONS
Certain terms that are specific to this Exhibit (including Exhibits E1 and E2) are defined below:
A. “Annual Percentage Change” means the annual percentage change in any of the indices defined herein calculated as described in the following paragraph.
The Annual Percentage Change for a cost index shall be calculated as: the Average Index Value for the twelve- (12) month period ending in June of the then-current Rate Period, minus the Average Index Value for the corresponding twelve- (12) month period ending in June of the most-recently completed Rate Period, and the result of which shall be divided by the Average Index Value for the same twelve- (12) month period ending in June of the most recently completed Rate Period.
For example, if Contractor is calculating the Total Calculated Costs in July 2024 to be effective for Rate Period Five (February 2025 through January 2026), the Annual Percentage Change for the CPI-U would be calculated as follows:
[ (Average CPI-U for July 2023 through June 2024) minus (Average CPI-U for July 2022 through June 2023) ] divided by (Average CPI-U for July 2022 through June 2023)

3. COST OF RATE ADJUSTMENT PROCESS
The City may incur costs, including consulting and legal fees, when determining adjustments to the Rates in accordance with this Exhibit and may require Contractor to pay for such costs within sixty (60) calendar days of receipt of the City’s invoice for such costs. Contractor may recover such costs through the Rates by treating the costs as an allowable Pass-Through Cost. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor shall only be required to reimburse City’s costs to the extent such costs have been included as allowable PassThrough Costs in the Rate adjustment with respect to which the costs were incurred, and such Rate adjustment has been approved by the City Council. Regardless of Contractor’s payment of costs associated with said review, the City shall retain full and unimpeded discretion in selection of its agents to ensure, at a minimum, that no conflict of interest arises in the review of Contractor’s request. The City retains the right to select its agents on the basis of their qualifications and experience and without regard to cost. 285

1. GENERAL
The purpose of this attachment is to describe and illustrate the method by which the City will calculate the annual adjustment to Rates to reflect changes in various cost indices and changes to Processing and Disposal Costs based on Tonnages of materials Collected and changes in tipping fees. This index-based adjustment process shall be used to determine Rates for Rate Periods Five, Six, Seven, Nine, and Ten (and, if the Term is extended, Twelve, Thirteen, Fourteen, and Fifteen). However, the cost-based methodology described in Exhibit E2 shall be used to set Rates in lieu of the index adjustment to set Rates provided in Exhibit E1, as provided in Sections 3.2, 8.2 and 8.3 of the Agreement, and the third paragraph below.
The index-based adjustment involves application of indices to various costs that comprise the Total Proposed Annual Costs, beginning with Rate Period Four to determine the Total Calculated Costs for the subsequent Rate Period. In addition, Processing and Disposal costs shall be adjusted to reflect actual Tonnage Collected during the most-recently completed Rate Period.
The annual increase in Total Calculated Costs calculated pursuant to this Exhibit E1 may not exceed five percent (5%). In the event that Total Calculated Costs for the coming Rate Period as calculated under this Exhibit E1 exceeds by more than five percent (5%) Total Calculated Costs for the then-current Rate Period, then Contractor may elect to either: i) accept an increase in Contractor Compensation based on an increase in Total Calculated Costs of five percent (5%); or, ii) require that a cost-based Rate adjustment be performed under the procedures described in Exhibit E2.
In the event that the index-based adjustment as calculated by this Exhibit E1 results in a negative Rate Adjustment Factor, the City reserves the right to “roll-under” the Rate reduction, such that there is no Rate adjustment in the Rate Period for which the negative Rate Adjustment Factor was calculated, but the calculated Rate reduction may be deferred to the following Rate Period, as a credit against future Rate increases.
2. ADJUSTMENT OF TOTAL CALCULATED COSTS
The cost categories of the main components of Total Calculated Costs are presented in detail in Exhibit G2. Adjustments to these components to calculate costs for the coming Rate Period shall be calculated as follows:
A. Total Annual Cost of Operations
1. Labor-Related Costs. The Labor-Related Costs component of Total Calculated Costs for the then-current Rate Period is multiplied by one (1) plus the Annual Percentage Change in the ECI.
For example, in Rate Period Five when calculating the Labor-Related Costs for Rate Period Three, the Labor-Related Costs of Rate Period Four shall be multiplied by one (1) plus the Annual Percentage change in the ECI.
2. Vehicle-Related Costs (excluding Fuel). The Vehicle-Related Costs component of Total Calculated Costs for the then-current Rate Period is multiplied by one (1) plus the Annual Percentage Change in the Motor Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Index. 288

3. Fuel Costs. The Fuel Cost component of Total Calculated Costs for the then-current Rate Period is multiplied by one (1) plus the Annual Percentage Change in the Fuel Index.
4. Other Costs. The Other Costs component of the Total Calculated Costs for the then-current Rate Period is multiplied by one (1) plus the Annual Percentage Change in the CPI-U.
5. Direct Depreciation. Direct Depreciation for Containers and equipment is nine hundred and five thousand, eight hundred and fifty-three dollars ($905,853.00) per year in Rate Periods Two through Ten, and is not annually adjusted. If the Agreement is extended beyond Rate Period Ten, direct depreciation shall be as set forth in Exhibit G2 (Capital Plan), unless Parties mutually agree to a different amount.
6. Allocated Costs (Labor, Vehicle, Fuel, and Other Costs). The Allocated Costs (Labor, Vehicle, Fuel, and Other Costs) component for the then-current Rate Period is multiplied by one (1) plus the Annual Percentage Change in the CPI-U.
7. Allocated Depreciation. The Allocated Depreciation shall be thirty five thousand, three hundred and eleven dollars ($35,311.00) per year in Rate Periods Two through Ten, and is not annually adjusted. These costs shall be zero (0) for all subsequent Rate Periods unless Parties mutually agree to a different amount.
8. Total Annual Cost of Operations. The Total Annual Cost of Operations for the coming Rate Period equals the sum of the costs calculated in this Exhibit E1, Section 2.A.1-7 above.
B. Profit. Profit for the coming Rate Period shall be calculated by dividing the Total Annual Cost of Operations for the coming Rate Period (the value calculated in Section 2.A.8 above) by an operating ratio of seventy-two and one-half percent (72.5%) and subtracting from the result the Total Annual Cost of Operations for the coming year.

Residential Organic Materials Processing Cost = [(Per-Ton Residential Organic Materials Processing Cost for the then-current Rate Period - All regulatory fees identified on Form 7 of Exhibit G2, (Contractor’s Proposal) and included in the then-current per-Ton cost) x (1 + Annual Percentage Change in the CPI-U) + (Then-current per-Ton regulatory fees)] x (Total Tons of Residential Organic Materials Collected for the most-recently completed twelve- (12) month period).
Commercial Organic Materials Processing Costs
Commercial Organic Materials Processing Cost = [(Per-Ton Commercial Organic Materials Processing Cost for the then-current Rate Period - All regulatory fees identified on Form 7 of Exhibit G2, (Contractor’s Proposal) and included in the then-current per-Ton cost) x (1 + Annual Percentage Change in the CPI-U) + (Then-current per-Ton regulatory fees)] x (Total Tons of Commercial Organic Materials Collected for the most-recently completed twelve- (12) month period). Residential Organic Materials Processing Costs and Commercial Organic Materials Processing Costs shall be inclusive of transfer costs.
If the City approves a change in the Approved Organic Materials Processing Facility, the Processing Costs shall adjust to the then-current tip fee at the new Approved Organic Materials Processing Facility.
3. Disposal & C&D Processing Costs. The Disposal Costs and C&D Processing Costs shall be calculated as follows:
Disposal Costs = Per-Ton Disposal fee at the Designated Disposal Facility for the coming Rate Period x Total Tons of Solid Waste Collected for the most-recently completed twelve- (12) month period.
C&D Processing Costs = Per-Ton Processing fee at the Designated C&D Processing Facility for the coming Rate Period x Total Tons of C&D Collected for the most-recently completed twelve- (12) month period.
If the City approves a change in the Designated Disposal Facility or the Approved Disposal Facility, or the Designated C&D Processing Facility or the Approved C&D Processing Facility the Disposal Costs or C&D Processing Costs (as the case may be) shall adjust to the thencurrent tip fee at the new facility.
4. Interest Expense. The Interest Expense amount is three hundred twenty six thousand, six hundred and fifty-five dollars ($326,655) in Rate Periods Two through Ten, is not annually adjusted, and shall be zero (0) in any subsequent Rate Period unless Parties mutually agree to a different amount.
5. Direct Lease Costs. The Direct Lease Costs amount is zero (0) in Rate Periods Two through Ten, is not annually adjusted, and shall be zero in any subsequent Rate Period unless Parties mutually agree to a different amount.

7. Total Pass-Through Costs. Total Pass-Through Costs for the coming Rate Period are the sum of the amounts in this Exhibit E1, Section 2.C.1-6 above.
D. Total Calculated Costs before City Fees/Reimbursements. The Total Calculated Costs before City Fees/Reimbursements shall be the sum of the Total Annual Cost of Operations, Profit, and Total Pass-Through Costs for the coming Rate Period.
E. City Fees/Reimbursements
1. Franchise Fee. Franchise Fees for the coming Rate Period shall equal twelve percent (12%) of projected Gross Receipts for the coming Rate Period less any other City Fees. While the Franchise Fee is calculated based on Gross Receipts less any other City Fees for the purposes of this formula, it shall be paid out of Contractor’s profit.
2. Solid Waste Fund Operations Fee. The Solid Waste Fund Operations Fee payment for the coming Rate Period shall equal the total Solid Waste Fund Operations Fee paid to the City in the most-recently completed twelve- (12) month period multiplied by one (1) plus the Annual Percentage Change in the CPI-U, or such other amount as is determined by City in accordance with Section 7.2.
3. Other City Fees. The amount for the coming Rate Period of any other fees established by City under Section 7.3.
4. Rate Application Review Costs. The amount that Contractor is required to pay City to reimburse City for City’s costs, including consulting and legal fees, associated with determination of Rates for the coming Rate Period.
5. Total City Fees/Reimbursements. The Total City Fees/Reimbursements for the coming Rate Period shall equal costs calculated in this Exhibit E1, Section 2.E.1-4 above; provided, however, that any adjustment in any such fee, whether pursuant to the relevant index or as the result of the decision of the City, shall be pass-through fees (excluded from the calculation of profit) and reflected in the Total City Fees/Reimbursements.
F. Other Adjustments. From time to time during the Term of the Agreement, it may be necessary to make other adjustments to the compensation calculations, either as mutually agreed or as required under various provisions of this Agreement. For example, if the City elects to roll-under a negative Rate adjustment to a future year, the dollar value of that negative adjustment shall be reflected as an adjustment. In such case, the adjustment would be a reduction to the Total Calculated Costs. Amounts that Contractor is entitled to recover under this Agreement shall be reflected as a positive adjustment that increases Total Calculated Costs. 291

The Total Calculated Costs for the coming Rate Period shall equal the sum of the Total Annual Cost of Operations, Profit, Total Pass-Through Costs, Total City Fees/Reimbursements, and Other Adjustments (if applicable), for the coming Rate Period.
3. TOTAL RATE ADJUSTMENT FACTOR
The Total Rate Adjustment Factor shall equal: (i) the Total Calculated Costs for the coming Rate Period divided by (ii) the amount obtained by subtracting the City Payments for the then-current Rate Period from the Total Calculated Costs for the then-current Rate Period. The Total Rate Adjustment Factor shall be rounded to the nearest thousandth.
4. ADJUSTMENT OF RATES
City may, as part of the Rate adjustment process for the coming Rate Period, do either or both of the following:
A. Agree to make a City Payment in the coming Rate Period, so as to reduce the Rate increase that would otherwise occur in that Rate Period; and/or,
B. Request a change in the relationship of individual Rates in comparison with other Rates, which may include changing the relationship of Rates across sector(s) and/or material stream(s). Section
8.2.D (Rate Structure) shall apply to any change under this subsection 4.B. If City wishes to do this, then City may request the Contractor to resubmit its Rate application by sector(s) and/or material type(s), so as to enable City to address over/under-funding of particular sector(s) and/or material type(s).
If City does either 4.A or 4.B above, then Rates shall be adjusted such that projected Gross Receipts for the coming Rate Period at the adjusted Rates, plus any City Payments that City agrees to make for that coming Rate Period, equal or exceed Total Calculated Costs for the coming Rate Period.
If City does neither 4.A nor 4.B above, then each then-current Rate shall be multiplied by the Total Rate Adjustment Factor, to calculate the effective Rate for the coming Rate Period. The adjustment to each Rate shall be rounded to the nearest cent.
5. EXAMPLES
The following examples illustrates the index-based adjustment method for determining Rates for Rate Period Five. The dollar amounts shown are hypothetical amounts for Total Calculated Costs for Rate Period Four (February 1, 2024 through January 31, 2025) and the adjustment factors are based on assumed changes in the various indices between the Average Index Values for the twelve (12) months ending January 2023 and for the twelve (12) months ending January 2024. Example A depicts a standard index-based adjustment, wherein the calculated Total Calculated Costs increased greater than zero percent (0%) and less than five percent (5%) over the prior Rate Period. Example B depicts an index-based adjustment wherein the calculated Total Calculated Costs resulted in a decrease from the prior Rate Period.

COST-BASED RATE ADJUSTMENT METHODOLOGY
December 3, 2020 Page E2-1 City of Cupertino/Recology Franchise Exhibit E2
1. GENERAL
The Parties shall use the cost-based Rate adjustment method described in this Exhibit to determine Rates for the Rate Periods specified in Section 8.2, or in the event of a change in scope (under the circumstances described in Section 3.5) or Change in Law, or pursuant to Section 3.2 or 8.2 or the third paragraph of Section 1 of Exhibit E1.1
The cost-based adjustment involves review of Contractor’s actual cost of operations and operational statistics (e.g., staffing levels, routes, route hours, Customers and their service levels) to determine the Actual Allowable Total Annual Cost of Operations for the most-recently completed Rate Period, the Forecasted Total Calculated Costs for the coming Rate Period, and the Contractor’s Compensation.
The intent of performing the cost-based adjustment is to examine the actual impact of changes in inflation or deflation, the number of Customers, and the Service Level of Customers.
The Forecasted Total Annual Cost of Operations calculated pursuant to this Exhibit E2 for the coming Rate Period (adjusted per the first paragraph of Section 2 of this Exhibit E2, if applicable) may not exceed by more than five percent (5%) the Total Annual Cost of Operations for the then-current Rate Period.
In the event that the cost-based adjustment calculated in accordance with this Exhibit E2 results in a negative Rate Adjustment Factor, the City reserves the right to “roll-under” the Rate reduction, such that there is no Rate adjustment in the Rate Period for which the negative Rate Adjustment Factor was calculated, but the calculated Rate reduction may be deferred to the following Rate Period, as a credit against future Rate increases.
A. Contractor’s Rate Application. Contractor’s Rate application for any Rate Period where Rates shall be adjusted using the cost-based methodology described in this Exhibit E2 shall include the information described in this Section 1.A. With the exception of the information identified in Section 1.A.1, and 1.A.2 below, all other items listed may be requested by the City Contract Manager at any time during the Term of the Agreement and Contractor shall comply with that request in a timely fashion.
1. Financial Statements. Within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the close of the Agreement year, Contractor shall deliver to the City one (1) hard copy of the reviewed consolidated financial statements of Contractor for the preceding Agreement year. Financial statements shall include a supplemental combining schedule showing Contractor’s results of operations, including the specific revenues and expenses in connection with the operations provided for in this Agreement separate from others included in such financial statements.
The financial statements and footnotes shall be prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) consistently applied and fairly reflecting the results of operation and Contractor’s financial condition. Annual financial statements shall be reviewed, in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) by a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) licensed (in good standing) to practice public accounting in the State as determined by the State Department of Consumer Affairs Board of Accountancy. 1 Exhibit E2 dates (such as providing for use of 12 months of tonnage ending in October) assume use of the Exhibit E2 for an annual Rate adjustment; dates for use of data should be adjusted as necessary to accommodate any offschedule adjustment. 299

2. FORECASTING TOTAL CALCULATED COSTS
The Total Calculated Costs for the coming Rate Period shall be forecasted in the manner described in this Section, assuming no change in operations between the most-recently completed Rate Period and the coming Rate Period. If there is or is reasonably expected to be a change in operations directed by the City or resulting from a Change in Law (e.g., a change in a Designated Facility as described in Section 3.2 that affects Contractor’s labor, vehicle-related and fuel costs, or change in scope as described in Section 3.5), then notwithstanding any other provision, appropriate adjustments shall be made to forecasted cost and revenue line items so that they reflect reasonable good faith estimates of the cost and revenue impacts of the change, and such cost and revenue impacts shall be excluded from Forecasted Total Annual Cost of Operations for the coming Rate Period in determining whether the five percent (5%) cap set forth in Section 1 of this Exhibit E2 has been met.
A. Forecasting Total Annual Cost of Operations
1. Determine Actual Allowable Total Annual Cost of Operations. The City or its designated representative(s) shall review Contractor's financial statements, books, and records to determine Contractor's “Actual Allowable Total Annual Cost of Operations” for the mostrecently completed Rate Period. Such cost shall be Contractor’s costs to perform all the obligations of Contractor under this Agreement (excluding the costs of Disposal and processing fees and of payments to City) in the manner required by this Agreement, and shall be divided into the following cost categories:
a. Actual labor-related costs
b. Actual vehicle-related costs (excluding fuel and depreciation) c. Actual fuel costs
d. Actual other costs (as defined on Form 6E of Exhibit G2) e. Direct Container and equipment depreciation costs (in the amount specified in Exhibit E1)
f. Actual allocated costs (labor, vehicle, general and administrative, and other costs) g. Actual allocated costs (depreciation and start-up) (in the amount stated in Exhibit E1)
2. Non-Allowable Costs. The following list of non-allowable costs shall be deducted from Contractor’s actual costs when determining the Actual Allowable Total Annual Cost of Operations.
a. Labor, equipment, fuel, and start-up costs for personnel, vehicles, and facilities that are not specified in the proposal forms contained in Exhibit G2 and that cannot be demonstrated to have been incurred as part of the performance of services under this Agreement.
b. Payments to directors and/or Owners of Contractor unless the amount paid is 302

3. Forecast Total Annual Cost of Operations. Forecasted Total Annual Cost of Operations for the coming Rate Period shall be calculated based on Actual Allowed Total Cost of Operations for the most-recently completed Rate Period determined in accordance with Sections 2.A.1 and 2.A.2 above. The forecasts shall be performed in the following manner:
a. Forecasted labor-related costs shall be calculated for the coming Rate Period by (i) multiplying the allowed labor-related costs, both direct and allocated, for the mostrecently completed Rate Period by one (1) plus the Annual Percentage Change in the CPI-U, and (ii) multiplying the result of step one once more by one (1) plus the Annual Percentage Change in the CPI-U.
b. Forecasted vehicle-related costs (excluding fuel and depreciation costs) shall be calculated for the coming Rate Period by (i) multiplying the allowed vehicle-related costs, both direct and allocated, for the most-recently completed Rate Period by one (1) plus the Annual Percentage Change in the Motor Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Index, and (ii) multiplying the result of step one once more by one (1) plus the Annual Percentage Change in the Motor Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Index. c. Forecasted fuel costs shall be calculated for the coming Rate Period by (i) multiplying the allowed fuel costs, both direct and allocated, for the most-recently completed Rate Period by one (1) plus the Annual Percentage Change in the Fuel Index, and (ii) multiplying the result of step one once more by one (1) plus the Annual Percentage Change in the Fuel Index.
d. Forecasted other costs shall be calculated for the coming Rate Period by (i) multiplying the allowed other-related costs, both direct and allocated, for the most-recently completed Rate Period by one (1) plus the Annual Percentage Change in CPI-U, and (ii) multiplying the result of step one once more by one (1) plus the Annual Percentage Change in the CPI-U.
e. Forecasted direct depreciation expense shall be the amount specified in Exhibit G2 for vehicles, Containers, and facilities. Direct depreciation expense is a fixed cost and is not subject to inflation.
f. Forecasted allocated labor-related, vehicle-related, general and administrative, and other costs shall be calculated for the coming Rate Period by (i) multiplying the allowed 304

B. Request a change in the relationship of individual Rates in comparison with other Rates, which may include changing the relationship of Rates across sector(s) and/or material stream(s). Section
8.2.D (Rate Structure) shall apply to any change under this subsection 5.B.

If City does either 5.A or 5.B above, then Rates shall be adjusted such that projected Gross Receipts for the coming Rate Period at the adjusted Rates, plus any City Payments that City agrees to make for that coming Rate Period, equal or exceed Forecasted Total Calculated Costs for the coming Rate Period.
If City does neither 5.A nor 5.B above, then each then-current Rate shall be multiplied by the Total Rate Adjustment Factor to calculate the effective Rate for the coming Rate Period. The adjustment to each Rate shall be rounded to the nearest cent.

Subject: Review of Recology South Bay Rate Period Four Contractor’ s Compensation Application Reference Number: S7018
Dear Ursula Syrova:
HF& H Consultants, LLC’ s (HF& H) is pleased to present our findings and recommendations to the City of Cupertino ( City) from our review of Recology South Bay’s (Recology) Rate Period Four (RP 4) Contractor’ s Compensation Application (Application), which was submitted on August 1, 2023. This report presents our findings and recommendations and is organized into the following three sections:
I. Summary and Recommendations
II. Background
III. HF& H Analysis
It should be noted that this report is based solely on our review of Recology’ s Application prepared in accordance with the methodology prescribed in its franchise agreement ( Agreement) with the City.
I. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
A. Review of Recology’s RP 4 Rate Application (for rates effective 2/ 1/ 24) Recology’ s Application calculated a revenue requirement of $20,505,312 to provide current franchised services for RP 4 (see Table 1).

Table 1: Recology’ s RP 4 Rate Application
Note: Numbers may not sum exactly due to rounding.
Based on our recommended adjustments to the Application, we have determined that a total revenue requirement of $19,475,934 is appropriate and consistent with the rate setting methodology described in the Agreement. These adjustments result in a 5.02% overall rate increase to provide the services currently 378
CC 12-05-2023

required in the Agreement. The City may apply a different rate increase by sector or use City funds in order to generate the overall 5.02% rate increase. HF& H’s adjustments to Recology’ s Application are described in more detail in Section III.C below. We have reviewed our findings with Recology, and Recology agrees with the proposed rate adjustment unless otherwise noted in this letter report.
II. BACKGROUND
A. General
The Agreement with Recology for recyclable materials, organic materials, and solid waste collection, recyclable materials and organic materials processing services, and transport for disposal commenced in February 2021. In accordance with Article 8.2.B of the Agreement, Recology’ s maximum rates for RP 1-3 were determined at the start of the Agreement. In accordance with Article 8.2.C of the Agreement, Recology’ s compensation shall be adjusted annually in subsequent rate periods, beginning with RP 4 through the remaining term of the Agreement, including any extension periods. The adjustments to Recology’ s compensation shall be determined using one of two methodologies: ( i) an index-based adjustment or (ii) a cost-based adjustment ( detailed rate review).
In RP 4, rates shall be adjusted using the cost-based methodology as described in Exhibit E2 of the Agreement. The cost-based methodology involves review of Recology’ s actual cost of operations and operational statistics ( staffing levels, routes, route hours, customers, and their service levels, etc.) to determine the actual allowable total annual cost of operations for the most-recently completed rate period to forecast Recology’ s allowable costs for RP 4.
The intent of performing the cost-based adjustment is to examine the actual costs to serve the City’ s ratepayers, instead of relying on Recology’ s proposed costs from the proposal process. This methodology takes into consideration the impacts of changes in inflation, deflation, number of customers, and the service levels of each customer to determine Recology’ s allowable compensation.
Additionally, because the rates for RP 1-3 were set at the start of the Agreement, the City wishes to use this rate adjustment process to reconcile any significant cost areas that Recology was compensated for, but did not incur, or that the City incorporated into the projected Solid Waste Fund Operations Fee that the City did not yet incur costs for, and integrate the impact in this year’ s rate adjustment.
III. HF&H ANALYSIS
A. Scope of Work
Our approach to this engagement was to work objectively to follow the compensation adjustment terms of the Agreement between Recology and the City. When performing the procedures described in the Agreement for the cost-based adjustment, we relied on Recology’ s audited financial statements, current year-to-date financial results of operations data, copies of transactions, reports of operations, and other information provided by Recology, Recology’ s proposal to the City, and industry standards. 379

The results of our review and our findings were documented by the HF& H staff that performed the engagement and were consequently objectively reviewed by our Engagement Manager. This documentation and subsequent HF& H adjustments were made available to Recology and the City for review. While taking direction from the City, we worked cooperatively with Recology in an open and transparent manner to ensure that Recology understood our procedures and preliminary findings. In this capacity, the City and Recology had the opportunity to correct any misunderstandings and understand the reasons for any adjustments to the Application that we recommended.
HF& H staff performed this review based upon procedures agreed upon by the City and HF& H, as documented in our proposal, and the agreement between the City and Recology. These procedures included the following activities:
We reviewed the Application to ensure its completeness and compliance with the methodology described in the Agreement.
We reviewed the Application for mathematical accuracy and internal consistency. We also checked that the summary schedules agreed to the supporting schedules and worksheets.
We verified Recology correctly calculated their RP 4 compensation using the allowable expenses and the correct percentage changes in CPI in accordance with the Agreement.
We reviewed the Application by performing: a review of revenue; a verification of solid waste tonnage and disposal expenses; a review of organic material tonnage and processing expenses; and a review of recyclable commodity revenue and processing costs.
We compared actual RP 2 costs to projections and inquired about any significant unexplainable variances.
We verified that the estimated RP 3 gross receipts were correctly calculated according to the methodology per the Agreement.
We reviewed the costs to process multi-family and commercial solid waste, which did not occur during RP 1-3, and discussed with the City options to integrate these funds in the rate adjustment process.
We reviewed the updated Solid Waste Fund Operations Fee with the City to integrate into the rate application.
We met with the City and Recology to review the recommended adjustments to the Application described herein.
We prepared a written draft and final report to document our findings and recommendations to share at the Council meeting.
B. Limitations
Our review was substantially different in scope than an examination in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Such a review was conducted, and an opinion expressed by Recology’ s independent accountants BFBA, LLP. 380

Our conclusions are based on the review of Recology’ s projections of its financial results of operations.
Actual results of operations will usually differ from projections because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, and the difference may be significant.
C. Review of RP 4 Application (February 1, 2024 – January 31, 2025) The City engaged HF& H to perform a review of Recology’ s Application submitted in accordance with Section 8.2.C of the Agreement. Recology submitted the Application on August 1, 2023. HF& H’s procedures included the following steps:
Step 1: Verification of the Mathematical Accuracy
HF& H reviewed Recology’ s Application to determine completeness, mathematical accuracy, reasonableness, and logical consistency of the assumptions supporting the projected revenues and expenses. This included:
Verification that all cost indices used to project expenses conformed to Exhibit E2 of the Agreement; Verification of the mathematical accuracy of Recology’ s compensation adjustment calculations; and, Verification of the consistency and integrity of the spreadsheets housing calculations.
HF& H found that Recology’ s application was mathematically correct and used the correct indices. No adjustments required.
Step 2: Determine Current Cost Components
As required by Exhibit E2.2.A.1 of the Agreement, we found that Recology did correctly use the actual expenses incurred for RP 2 ( Labor-related, Vehicle-related costs, fuel, etc.) as the starting point for calculating their RP 4 allowable compensation. However, Recology did not exclude all non-allowable costs as detailed in Exhibit E2.2.A.2. HF& H adjusted allocated costs to remove non-allowable costs related to legal services, citations, and tax penalties. The dollar effect of this adjustment is included with Step 3 F below.
Step 3: Adjust Specific Cost Component
A. Labor-Related Costs
Section 2.A.3.a of Exhibit E2 states that the projected labor-related costs for the coming rate period shall be calculated by (i) multiplying the allowed labor-related cost, both direct and allocated, for the most recently completed Rate Period by one plus the Annual Percentage Change in the CPI-U, and ( ii) multiplying the result of step one once more by one plus the Annual Percentage Change in the CPI-U. We reviewed and verified the reasonableness of Recology’ s actual RP 2 labor-related expenses and inquired about any large variances from projected RP 2 costs, noting no unexplainable variances. Adjustments were made pursuant to the 5% cap on total annual operating costs as further described in Step 3 H below. 381
CC 12-05-2023
381 of 723
Managing Tomorrow’ s Resources Today
Ursula Syrova
November 27, 2023
B. Vehicle-Related Costs (excluding fuel and depreciation costs) Section 2.A.3.b. of Exhibit E2 states that projected vehicle-related costs for the coming rate year shall equal the allowable vehicle-related costs (i) multiplied by one plus the percentage change in the Moter Vehicle Index and (ii) multiplying the result of step one by the same percentage change used in step one.
Adjustments were made pursuant to the 5% cap on total annual operating costs as further described in Step 3 H below.
C. Fuel Costs
Section 2.A.3.c of Exhibit E2 states that projected fuel costs for the coming rate year shall equal the allowable fuel costs (i) multiplied by one plus the percentage change in the Fuel Index and (ii) multiplying the result of step one by the same percentage change used in step one. We reviewed and verified the reasonableness of Recology’ s actual RP 2 fuel expenses and inquired about any large variances from projected RP 2 costs, noting no unexplainable variances. Adjustments were made pursuant to the 5% cap on total annual operating costs as further described in Step 3 H below.
D. Other Costs
Section 2.A.3.d of Exhibit E2 states that projected other costs for the coming rate year shall equal the allowable other costs (i) multiplied by one plus the percentage change in the CPI-U and (ii) multiplying the result of step one by the same percentage change used in step one. Adjustments were made pursuant to the 5% cap on total annual operating costs as further described in Step 3 H below.
E. Depreciation
Section 2.A.3.e of Exhibit E2 states that direct depreciation shall be fixed at $905,853 per year for vehicles, containers, and facilities. Recology’ s application correctly included depreciation at $ 905,853. No adjustment recommended.
F. Allocated Costs – Labor, Vehicle, Fuel, and Other Costs Section 2.A.3.f of Exhibit E2 states that allocated costs for labor, vehicle, fuel, other, and depreciation shall equal the allowable allocated costs (i) multiplied by one plus the percentage change in the CPI-U and (ii) multiplying the result of step one by the same percentage change used in step one. However, Section
2.A.1.a through f of Exhibit E2 indicates the various indices applied by expense category apply to both direct and allocated expenses. In other words, instead of applying the CPI-U to the total allocated costs, allocated labor costs will be increased by the ECI, allocated vehicle costs will be increased by the Motor Vehicle Index, allocated fuel costs will be increased by the Fuel Index, allocated depreciation will be held flat, and other costs will be increased by the CPI-U. As such, HF& H recalculated the allocated costs for RP 4 by applying the individual labor, fuel, vehicle, and other indices to the allocated cost categories.
Allocated depreciation was held flat, the Fuel Index was less than the CPI-U, and non-allowable costs were removed from allocated costs. As such, HF& H recommends a decrease of $44,126 to reflect the net impact of non-allowable costs from Step 2 and the multiple indices on allocated costs. 382

G. Allocated Costs – Depreciation and Start-Up Costs
Section 2.A.3.g of Exhibit E2 states that Allocated Depreciation and Start-Up Costs shall be $35,311 per year and are not annually adjusted. Recology’ s Application correctly included Allocated Depreciation and Start-Up Costs of $35,311. No adjustment recommended.
H. Total Cost of Operations
Section 2.A.3.h of Exhibit E2 states that the total of Sections A – G above shall be subject to the 5% cap as described in Section 1 of Exhibit E2. For the coming rate period, total forecasted annual cost of operations for RP 4 may not be more than a 5% increase to the total annual cost of operations for the then-current rate period (RP 3). HF& H calculated the 5% cap based on the RP 3 total annual cost of operations, which was calculated per the index methodology in Exhibit E1. HF& H noted that the sum of Sections A – G was above the 5% cap. HF& H adjusted the total forecasted annual cost of operations for RP 4 to meet the 5% cap and recommends a $909,320 decrease in total cost of operations ( exclusive of prior adjustments from Steps 2 and 3).
I. Profit
We found that Recology correctly calculated its allowable profit by applying an 72.5% operating ratio approximately an 27.5% profit) to its allowable operating costs; however, due to the calculated adjustments described above, we recommend a $361,652 decrease to Recology’ s profit.
J. Pass-Through Costs Disposal and Processing Costs – All Material Streams Solid Waste Disposal
Section 2.A.3.C.4 of Exhibit E2 states the projected cost to process solid waste disposal shall be calculated based on the total tons of materials processed during the most recently completed 12-month rate period multiplied by the allowable per-ton disposal fee.
The per-ton disposal fee adjusts every July 1. Because the City’s rate period is from February – January, the disposal fee adjusts in the middle of the rate period. Recology proposed a methodology to account for these timing differences: a weighted average based on the current rate and the most recent rate increase. The per-ton disposal fee is known for February 2024 through June 2024 ($47.59). The July 2024 January 2025 rate is the current per-ton disposal fee increased by July 1, 2023 rate increase ($47.59 x
1.022 = $50.67). The weighted average was calculated as follows: (($47.59 x 5)+($50.67 x 7))/ 12 = $48.22.
HF& H reviewed this calculation for reasonableness and agrees with Recology’ s proposed methodology.
However, Recology’ s proposed RP 4 disposal costs did not take into consideration the first amendment to the disposal agreement. The amendment states the tipping fee for the disposal and/ or recycling of Municipal Solid Waste at Newby Island as of July 1, 2024, shall be the amount adjusted pursuant to Section
5.2 and 5.4 of this Agreement plus an additional $2.00 per-ton to the adjustable portion of the tipping fee.
As a result, HF& H recommends an increase of $2.00 per-ton to July 2024 Newby Island’ s tipping fee, which 383
CC 12-05-2023

Managing Tomorrow’ s Resources Today
Ursula Syrova
November 27, 2023
modified the weighted average calculation and yielded a per-ton disposal rate of $49.39. HF& H revised the application to use this per-ton rate and noted the net impact of $13,380 in Table 2 below.
Recycling Processing
Section 2.A.3.C.1 of Exhibit E2 states the projected cost to process recyclable materials shall be calculated based on the total tons of materials processed during the most recently completed 12-month rate period multiplied by the allowable per-ton processing fee. The City’ s recycling processor is GreenWaste; however, the processing agreement is between Recology and GreenWaste, not the City and GreenWaste, and therefore the details of the processing agreement are not available for HF& H to review. HF& H received communications from GreenWaste stating the increase for RP 4 to be about $ 1.25 per ton.
Recology’ s calculation of the allowable per-ton processing fee reflected the processing expense incurred during the most recently completed 12-month rate period (RP 2) divided by tons collected in RP 2 ($31.01).
This rate was increased by $1.25 twice to calculate the RP 4 per ton rate of $33.51.
Recology further explained that the processing charge at GreenWaste has four tiers that change throughout the year. The tiers are based on contamination and include seasonal wet material; it is not a set rate throughout the year. Therefore, a full 12 months should be considered for any comparative analysis. Because we are in the middle of RP 3, a full 12 months at the current processing tiers are unavailable and an average of the available months in RP 3 (February 2023 – September 2023) would not capture the full scale of seasonal material. Therefore, Recology provided the RP 2 average rate per ton and increased it by $1.25 twice to capture this seasonality.
HF& H reviewed Recology’ s proposed methodology for RP 4 and deemed it reasonable. The RP 4 rate of
33.51 will be used as in the RP 4 cost-based rate adjustment methodology. Therefore, no adjustment required to the per ton recycling processing rate.
Organic Materials Processing
Section 2.A.3.C.2 through 3 of Exhibit E2 describes the projected cost to process organic materials shall be calculated based on the total tons of materials processed during the most recently completed 12- month rate period (i) multiplied by one plus the percentage change in the CPI-U and (ii) multiplying the result of step one by the same percentage change used in step one. No adjustment required to the perton organic materials rate.
Construction and Demolition Processing
Section 2.A.3.C.4 of Exhibit E2 describes the projected cost to process construction and demolition ( C& D) materials shall be calculated based on the total tons of materials processed during the most recently completed 12-month rate period multiplied by the allowable per-ton processing fee. Because the disposal agreement for solid waste is inclusive of C& D materials, and the first amendment only applies to solid waste, the weighted average per-ton rate for C& D is $48.22. Therefore, no adjustment required to the per-ton C& D rate.

Tonnage Adjustment
The tonnage information submitted by Recology for RP 4 did not tie to the City’ s monthly reports. HF& H inquired with Recology, who acknowledged the tonnage was submitted in error and that it should align with the City’s monthly reports. HF& H corrected the tonnage in the application to agree with the tonnage as presented in the City’ s monthly reports.
Table 2 below summarizes the tonnage adjustments related to both per-ton calculation corrections and tonnage corrections noted above.
Table 2: HF& H Adjustment to Tons
K. Interest Expense
Section 2.C.5 of Exhibit E2 states interest expense shall be fixed at $326,655 and is not annually adjusted.
Recology’ s Application correctly included an interest expense of $326,655. No adjustment recommended.
L. Direct and Allocated Lease Costs
Section 2.C.6 of Exhibit E2 states Direct Lease Costs shall be fixed at $0, until RP 10, and is not annually adjusted. Section 2.C.7 of Exhibit E2 states Allocated Lease Costs shall be fixed at $180,00 and is not annually adjusted over the term of the Agreement. Recology’ s Application correctly included Direct and Allocated Lease Costs at $180,000. No adjustment recommended.
M. City Fees / Reimbursements
Solid Waste Fund Operations Fee: The Solid Waste Fund Operations Fee ( SWFOFee) payment for the coming Rate Period shall equal the total Solid Waste Fund Operations Fee paid to the City in the mostrecently completed 12-month period multiplied by one plus the Annual Percentage Change in the CPI-U, or such other amount as is determined by the City in accordance with Section 7.2. Recology’ s application included the RP 2 SWFOFee amount. HF& H worked with the City to determine the projected SWFOFee amount required in RP 4 and recommends an increase of $34,360 for a total SWFOFee of $1,635,697.
Rate Application Review Cost: Section 2.E.4 of Exhibit E1 states Recology is required to pay City to reimburse City for City’ s costs, including consulting and legal fees, associated with determination of Rates for the coming Rate Period. Recology did not include the cost of the rate application review in costs reimbursed to the City. HF& H recommends including $ 85,000.

Step 4: Other Adjustments
Section 2.F states that from time to time, it may be necessary to make other adjustments to the compensation calculation, either as mutually agreed or as required under various provisions on the Agreement.
The City plans to use reserves or other funding sources to reduce the RP 4 rate impact on customers.
HF& H’s report is reflective of the overall rate increase before the City’ s use of funds.
Step 5: Determine Projected Gross Receipts
Section 3 states that the projected gross receipts at then-current rates shall reflect projected annual gross receipts from all customers. On-call services and special charges shall be based on the prior 12 months of billing activity. Recology based its gross receipts on current subscription and rate revenue for one month in RP 3, multiplied by 12 months to annualize, and added annual debris box and compactors revenue from February 2022 – January 2023 inflated by 5%. HF& H reviewed the reasonableness of Recology’ s method of calculating projected gross receipts and performed our own build-up of rate revenue based on actual RP 2 revenue and the predetermined rate increases in RP 3. HF& H recommends the following adjustment to the projected gross receipts:
Miscellaneous service and recycling revenue were not included in Recology’ s calculation. HF& H recommend a $ 14,862 increase to Recology’ s projected gross receipts to account for miscellaneous revenue attributable to the City.
Step 6: Adjusted Revenue Requirement
The following table summarizes Recology’ s requested revenue requirement of $20,505,312 to provide current franchised services for RP 4 and HF& H’s adjusted Application. Based on our recommended adjustments to the Application described in this report, we have determined that a total revenue requirement of $19,475,934 (a decrease of $1,029,378 from Recology’ s Application) is appropriate and a recommended 5.02% overall rate increase is consistent with the rate-setting methodology described in the Agreement. The City may apply a different rate increase by customer sector or use City funds in order to generate the overall 5.02% rate increase.

Adopt Resolution No. 23-132 for the OPEB Trust Investment Policy; and Adopt Resolution No. 23-133 for the Pension Trust Investment Policy Discussion
Background
In Fiscal Year (FY) 2009-10, the City established a Section 115 Trust to help fund its retiree health obligations, also known as other post-employment benefits (OPEB). In FY 2017-18, the City also established a Section 115 Trust to pre-fund its pension obligations and reduce the potential impact of pension cost volatility on the City's operating budget.
OPEB and Pension Trusts
Section 115 Trust Overview
A Section 115 Trust is a tax-exempt investment tool that allows local governments to prefund pension and retiree health costs. The benefits of a Section 115 Trust include the following:
Local control over assets: The City controls the contributions, withdrawals, investment strategy, and risk level of assets in the Trust. Potential for higher investment returns than General Fund: Investment requirements that apply to the City's General Fund assets under Government Code 53601 are not applicable to Trust assets.
Pension rate stabilization: Assets can be transferred to CalPERS at the City's discretion to pay for Normal Cost or Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) contributions and can be used to reduce or eliminate large fluctuations in the City's pension costs.
Diversification: Trust assets will be diversified from CalPERS investments. 390

2 OPEB Trust Overview
In FY 2009-10, the City established a Section 115 Trust to help fund its retiree health obligations, also known as other post-employment benefits (OPEB). Compared to a payas-you-go plan, the OPEB Trust allows the City to:
Grow assets to pay future OPEB benefits.
Earn higher returns than the General Fund.
Reduce its total cost for providing post-employment benefits. Reduce its Net OPEB Liability.
In July 2010, the City contributed $7.0 million in initial funding. With additional contributions of $12.3 million, total contributions to date are $19.3 million.
As of June 30, 2023, the City's OPEB Trust had a market value of $31.3 million and had earned an annualized investment return of 6.18% gross of fees since inception.
Time Period Annualized Investment Return
1 Year 11.14%
5 Year 4.66%
Since Inception 6.18%
1-Year investment returns were impacted by financial market volatility due to heightened geopolitical risk, supply chain bottlenecks and persistent inflation, and the Federal Reserve’s pivot to a less accommodative monetary policy.
As of the June 30, 2023 measurement date, using a 6.5% discount rate, the City’s OPEB plan had an accrued liability of $35.3 million and a market value of assets of $34.7 million, resulting in an unfunded accrued liability of $.5 million and a funded ratio of 98.4%.
Compared to June 30, 2022, the unfunded accrued liability continued to increase and the funded ratio decreased, primarily due to changes in actuarial assumptions.

Pension Trust Overview
Since pension obligations are one of the City's largest financial obligations, the City has taken proactive steps to reduce the impacts of pension cost volatility. In March 2018, the City provided options to Council for addressing rising pension costs. In April 2018, the City presented a long-term pension funding strategy to the Fiscal Strategic Plan Committee. In May 2018, the City adopted a Section 115 Trust, also known as a Pension 391
CC 12-05-2023
391 of 723
3 Rate Stabilization Program (PRSP), to reduce pension rate volatility on the City's budget.
The Pension Trust helps the City to:
Grow assets for future pension contributions.
Invest assets over appropriate time horizons.
Earn higher investment returns than the General Fund. Reduce pension contribution volatility.
Diversify funds from CalPERS investments.
As a fiscal sustainability measure, the City funds the Pension Trust using a more conservative discount rate of 6.25%. The City's pension funding goal is to accumulate sufficient funds in the Pension Trust to fund the difference between a 6.25% and a 7% discount rate and achieve a funded status of 80% by FY 2036-37, 20 years from the adoption of the Pension Trust. The City's projections indicated that it would need to accumulate over $42 million in the Pension Trust within 20 years to achieve its pension funding goal.
As a result, the funding strategy proposed $8.0 million in initial funding, along with additional funding of $10.0 million over the first five years. To date, the City has contributed $16.0 million, including:
$8.0 million in FY 2018-19
$4.0 million in FY 2019-20
$2.0 million in FY 2020-21
$2.0 million in FY 2021-22
As of June 30, 2023, the City's Pension Trust had a market value of $19.1 million and had earned an annualized investment return of 5.62% gross of fees since inception.
Time Period Annualized Investment Return
1 Year 11.12%

OPEB and Pension Trust Investment Policies
The California Government Code requires a statement of investment policy to be reviewed and adopted by the City Council on at least an annual basis. This statement is intended to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of the City’s OPEB and Pension Trust’s idle cash. The OPEB Investment Policy was adopted as part of the greater City Investment Policy in June 2010 and subsequently adopted as a standalone policy. The 392
CC 12-05-2023
392 of 723
4 Pension Investment Policy was first approved by the Audit Committee in December 2018 and adopted in February 2019, following the Pension Trust establishment.
The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the OPEB and Pension Trust investment policies annually and monitoring investment performance, as stated in Cupertino Municipal Code Chapter 2.88.100 (E). The City Council is responsible for annually adopting the OPEB and Pension Trust investment policies.
As with any other investment policies, the OPEB and Pension Trust investment policies are not expected to be materially updated or updated frequently. Short-term changes in the financial markets typically would not warrant any immediate revisions to the existing policies.
On October 23, 2023, the Audit Committee reviewed both proposed policies and discussed the policies with no proposed changes. The Audit Committee unanimously voted to accept the policies and forward to City Council for adoption.
Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) is the City’s Trust Administrator and US Bank is the City’s Investment Manager for the Pension and OPEB Trusts. The Investment Manager manages the investments per the investment policies. Within the constraints imposed by these policies, Investment Managers are expected to comply with all applicable fiduciary and due diligence requirements under the “prudent investor” rules.
OPEB and Pension Trust Investment Objectives
The OPEB Trust has a “Balanced” investment objective with a target rate of return of
6.50%, and the Pension Trust has a “Balanced” investment objective with a target rate of return of 6.25%. The “Balanced” investment objective is designed to provide a moderate amount of current income with moderate growth of capital. Investors should have sufficient tolerance for price and return volatility and substantial periodic declines in investment value. This objective is recommended for investors with a long-term time horizon. The strategic asset allocation ranges and tactical targets for this objective are listed below:
Asset Class Range Target
Fixed Income 20-40% 29%
Equities 50-70% 63%
Real Estate 0-15% 5%
Commodities 0-10% 2%
Cash 0-10% 1%
The target rates of return are based on the long-term expected rate of return for assets in the trusts and the City's time horizon for the investments. 393
CC 12-05-2023
393 of 723
5 With strong reserves and a fully funded OPEB plan, the City can maintain a long-term investment horizon with a “balanced” investment objective. There may be periods of substantial decline in investment value, and the portfolio should expect periodic volatility. However, a 6.56% return on investment is expected over the long-term, based on the current investment objective. More conservative investment objectives such as “moderate” and “moderate-conservative” would expect less volatility and declines in investment value; however, over the long term, they would also expect lower returns.
Many agencies anticipate needing to access the funds in their respective trusts sooner and invest with more emphasis on preserving capital in the near term.
The OPEB Trust has a higher discount rate than the Pension Trust because OPEB investments are expected to have a longer time horizon. OPEB obligations are generally longer in duration, and the City expects to withdraw Pension Trust funds earlier to fund CalPERS contributions. Given that changes to the CalPERS discount rate have larger effects on the City's operating budget and are farther out of the City's control, it is important that the City be able to use the Trust to pay CalPERS contributions as needed.
Sustainability Impact
There is no sustainability impact.
Fiscal Impact
There is no direct fiscal impact at this time.

Investment Guidelines
Overview
This document defines the investment policy, guidelines and performance objectives applicable to the assets of The City of Cupertino’s Pension Trust. The goal of this Policy is to create an investment framework within which the assets can be actively yet prudently managed.
The purpose of this document is threefold.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: December 5, 2023
Subject
Accept Silicon Valley Clean Energy Community Resilience Grant in the amount of up to $233,963 to purchase two (2) Electric Vehicle Autonomous Renewable Charger (EV ARC) portable solar-powered charging systems.
Recommended Action
1. Adopt Resolution No. 23-XXX accepting up to $233,963 in Community Resilience Grant funding from Silicon Valley Clean Energy and approving budget modification #2324-316 increasing appropriation and estimated revenues by $233,963 in 100-87-829 900-990 for procurement of Electric Vehicle Autonomous Renewable Charger units;
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute all documentation necessary to accept the grant fundings; and
3. Authorize the purchase of two (2) Electric Vehicle Autonomous Renewable Charger units, trailer and additional support and maintenance for a total cost of $233,963 from Beam Global.
Reasons for Recommendation
Silicon Valley Clean Energy Community Resilience Grant Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE), a community choice energy agency, was formed as a Joint Powers Authority in 2016, and now serves approximately 270,000 residential and commercial electricity customers across a service area comprised of the following thirteen communities:
Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Milpitas, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill, Mountain View, Saratoga, Sunnyvale, and Unincorporated portions of Santa Clara County.
The SVCE launched a community resilience program that provides $5 million in grants to member jurisdictions to aid in planning and implementing resiliency projects (energy resilience is defined as the ability to mitigate, withstand, or recover quickly from unanticipated energy disruptions to ensure energy availability and reliability.) The grant maximum for each jurisdiction is based on the proportion of load as determined by SVCE.
422
CC 12-05-2023
422 of 723
To be eligible for these funds, projects must:
1. Support a critical facility and/or provide community services during a power outage;
2. Enable self-sufficient access to power during an outage, or decrease the risk of power outages; and
3. Be a zero-carbon project.
The City submitted a grant application to SVCE for the purchase of two EV ARC units, including a trailer and additional support and maintenance. The procurement of the EV ARC units will greatly benefit the City of Cupertino by providing reliable power sources during a disaster or power outage.
Electric Vehicle Autonomous Renewable Charger units (EV ARC units) Each EV ARC unit is mounted with a solar array and equipped with battery storage, EV chargers, and an emergency power panel. The unit generates clean energy to power EV chargers or equipment. During a power outage, drivers can still charge their vehicles and first responders can power their equipment using the emergency electrical panel.
When power is not needed, energy collected from the solar array is stored in the onboard battery.
The EV ARC units the City is proposing for purchase come with 43 kilowatt per hour (kWh) battery storage which will store approximately 120 e-miles of range each. The total miles of range the units can provide increases to approximately 190 e-miles if vehicles are charged during daytime hours with solar exposure.
City staff anticipates locating the EV ARC units at City Hall and Quinlan Community Center but will rotate the units to other City facilities (Senior Center, Wilson Park, Creekside Park, etc.) approximately every two months for public use. The portable unit will be placed within existing standard parking stalls. Placement of these units requires no construction or infrastructure installation. During an emergency, such as an extended PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) or power outage, the City can relocate both units to the most appropriate location to serve the residents and allow for charging of personal electronic devices.
In addition to the purchase of these units, the remaining grant funding will be used to extend services such as Enterprise Cloud Plan which provides access to charging session data, usage controls, data management, and reporting; an annual plan for a Remote Monitoring and Management System (RMMS) which provides access to view data and status of the EV ARC system, battery status, energy output and energy use session data; and an Operation & Maintenance (O&M) plan. The extension of these services will allow the City to evaluate them for efficacy and will provide a longer maintenance coverage period.
423
CC 12-05-2023
423 of 723
Formal Competitive Bidding Exemption
Purchase of Beam Global units is available through the State of California Contract DGS #1-22-61-16 which expires on June 23, 2025. Staff recommends the use of the State’s contract as the City leverages economy of scale cost benefits and reduces administrative time.
Cupertino Municipal Code Chapter 3.22 provides for exemptions to the bidding process requirements of that chapter when these purchases occur from any other public agency created under the laws of the State of California or the United States Government. The State of California contract is available to any public entity in the State of California.
Next Steps
Upon City Council acceptance of the grant funds, the City will execute the grant agreement, initiate procurement of the units, and apply for reimbursement from SVCE.
Projects must be completed no later than December 31, 2024, and all requests for reimbursement must be submitted within 60 days of project completion. The units are expected to be manufactured and delivered 90 days from issuance of the purchase order.
Sustainability Impact
Procurement of the EV ARC units support Cupertino’s Climate Action Plan 2.0 which focuses on carbon-free electricity and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
Fiscal Impact
There is no net fiscal impact associated with the procurement of the EV ARC units. The City will purchase the EV ARC units and request full reimbursement of the grant funds from Silicon Valley Clean Energy. Staff is requesting increased appropriations in 100-87- 829 900-990 to fund the purchase of the units and is also increasing estimated revenues in 100-87-829 440-428 for estimated grant fund to be received.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
The project is exempt from CEQA under CEQA Guideline Section 15311 which exempts the construction or placement of minor structures accessory to (appurtenant to) existing commercial, industrial, or institutional facilities including small parking lots. _____________________________________

Decarbonization Benefits: (please describe how this project supports SVCE’s decarbonization mission)
Resilience Benefits: (please describe the resilience benefits of this project) How would this project make a good case study for other jurisdictions? What do you expect to learn from this project?
Grant Amount Requested: (Please specify the total amount you are requesting and a breakdown of the project budget. Indicate any co-funding that is contributing to the project budget, such as in-kind resources or additional grant funding) Beginning and Ending Dates of the Project:
This project is in line with SVCE Decarbonization Strategy, to accelerate the electrification and transformation of mobility in our community to reduce emissions. Within this strategy, SVCE calls to implement a strategy and plan for community-wide buildout of EV charging infrastructure. The project will expand the EV charging infrastructure in the City.
Each unit will be net zero energy on an annual basis through the on-site generation of clean electricity via the solar array.
It will also reduce the load of the surrounding EV chargers connected to the grid. Reducing grid load supports grid stability and reduces the need to operate additional power plans which can emit more greenhouse gases.
Each unit has a solar array that generates clean energy and stores it in a battery. This system provides a reliable solution for energy resilience for a facility that supports the community. During power outage or emergency disaster, the public can still charge their electric vehicles. The public and first responders can also utilize the unit electrical panel which contain various outlets to power cell phones or equipment. By having another power source, the first responders can continue to provide assistance to the community. These units are also portable and can be relocated to provide electricity at various sites that lost or do not have access to the power grid. The project will include a trailer to allow city staff to relocate the units.
This project sets an example of a charging infrastructure that strictly relies on solar array and battery storage system and it’s not dependent on grid energy thus reducing the demand on the grid to ensure long-term resilience.
The unit are easily transportable and are made ADA-compliant where public can easily access it. The unit can also provide backup power during emergencies to serve the community.
Anticipate learning the use patterns including peak and off peak demands of the units at various City locations: Quinlan Community Center, Senior Center, City Hall, Wilson Park, Creekside Park, Jollyman Park, Memorial Park, Blackberry Farm Golf Course, McClellan Ranch, and Sports Center.

Your EV ARC™ 2020 is an American-made product and will be fabricated in our San Diego, California facility.
EV ARC™ 2020 systems are capable of generating and storing enough clean, solar electricity to charge up to 265 e miles in a single day. Thanks to its battery storage, it can charge electric vehicles day or night, or even during periods of cloudiness, and is also an excellent source of emergency/alternative power. The electricity produced is clean and renewable, reducing 100% of greenhouse gas emissions from ICE vehicles and electric vehicles powered from the utility grid.
The EV ARC™ 2020 is deployed in minutes and has not required any kind of permitting in the over 100 jurisdictions which are currently benefitting from it. It is deployed without any construction or electrical work and does not require civil or electrical engineering, foundations, trenching, electrical connections or upgrades. It will produce energy reliably and consistently but will not generate a utility bill or fail to operate because of a black out or other utility grid failure. It’s no wonder that Google, the City of New York, the State of California and many others across the U.S. and internationally trust the EV ARC™ product line to charge their electric vehicles.
The patented EV ARC™ 2020 is the world’s first and only fully autonomous, transportable, solar-powered electric vehicle charging system.
Designed, engineered and manufactured in the U.S., the EV ARC™ 2020 measures 7.5' X 18' at the base and fits inside a standard parking space without reducing available parking while being ADA compliant.

Anti-Terrorist Field Training Exercise
CASE STUDY
Held on Alameda Island in California, CAL EMSA,
local police and urban search and rescue squads
held a three day training for first responders
focused on anti-terrorist readiness. Two EV ARC™
units were deployed to power field operations and
a field hospital. Each EV ARC™ had an Emergency
Power Panel (included in FEMA’s Authorized
Equipment List). Exercises included mock civilian
rescues and medical triage in various situations.
The two EV ARC™ units were combined to create
a 208V, three-phase, 12 kW microgrid for clean
quiet energy day and night. Replacing diesel
generators typically used eliminated the need to
store, transport and handle fuel, and eliminated
the noise, noxious fumes and fuel management.
Because EV ARC™ systems are portable and 100%
off grid, cities can build EV charging infrastructure,
energy resiliency and emergency preparedness
with EV ARC™ systems.

Discussion
Background
Permit Requirements
The applicant, Tessellations, requests a Conditional Use Permit (“CUP”) to operate a private education facility at a former public school site (the former Regnart Elementary School) in the Public Building, or BA, zoning district. Per Cupertino Municipal Code (“Municipal Code”) Section 19.76.030(1), allowed uses in the BA zoning district consist of “[b]uildings and other uses on land owned or utilized by a federal, State, county, or city government or authority, or by a special district created for public purposes under the laws of the State of California”
As such, the language in Municipal Code Section 19.76.030(1) pertains specifically to public uses operated by public entities and does not explicitly allow a private entity (e.g., a private school) performing a similar use on BA zoned properties. However, such uses 481
CC 12-05-2023
481 of 723
MCA-2023-003 BA Zoned Properties December 5, 2023
U-2023-002, EXC-2023-009 1170 Yorkshire Drive Page 2
have historically been allowed with a CUP (discussed below). Since the practice of conditionally permitting private operators in a district intended for public uses is not explicitly stated in the current Municipal Code, a Municipal Code Amendment is proposed to clarify the process by which private school uses may operate on a BA zoned site.
Due to the size (i.e., greater than 10,000 square feet) of the former public school facility, approval of a Major CUP application, which must be reviewed by the Planning Commission, is required. However, since the proposed Municipal Code Amendment requires review by both the Planning Commission and approval by the City Council (Municipal Code Section 19.12.030), per Municipal Code Section 19.04.090, the reviewing body having final approval over a combined application shall be the highest body in the City. Therefore, the City Council will be the final decision-making body for both the BA district’s Municipal Code amendment and the CUP. For the CUP to be approved, the Code amendment must first be adopted. Since Code amendments are not effective until 30 days after a second reading of the ordinance, the effective date of the CUP is conditioned to coincide with the date the Code amendment goes into effect.
Context of Municipal Code Amendment
Chapter 19.76 of the Municipal Code governs Public Buildings (BA), Quasi Public Building (BQ), and Transportation (T) Zones. The chapter notes that the BA, BQ, and T zoning districts are designed to accommodate governmental, public utility, educational, religious, community service, transportation, or recreational facilities in the city.
There are currently 23 sites zoned BA in the City, 14 of which are owned and operated by Cupertino Union School District (“CUSD”) and Fremont Union High School District (“FUHSD”). Over the last decade or more CUSD and FUHSD have experienced a steady and significant decline in student enrollment. This decline is projected to continue for the foreseeable future. Based on projections from the two school districts’ 2022 enrollment numbers, CUSD expects to see an approximate 23% decline in transitional kindergarten to eighth grade students by 20271 and FUHSD expects to see an approximately 21% decline in ninth to twelfth grade students by 2027 2.
On October 14, 2021, in response to this downward trend in enrollment and its budgetary impacts, the CUSD Board voted to close Regnart and Meyerholz (located in San Jose) 1 See Analysis of Enrollment Projections – Fall 2023 Cupertino Union School District, Page 10 “Figure 11:
Moderate 5 Year District-Wide Projection by Grade Level” 2 See https://resources.finalsite.net/images/v1674170884/fuhsdorg/bnyvzlpu4kovphpdxm6z/2022- 23FUHSDForecastUpdateReportFINAL.pdf “October Enrollments, 2016 to 2027” 482

Per Municipal Code Section 19.152.010 “[t]his title may be amended … by changing the regulations applicable within one or more districts, … whenever the public interest or general welfare so require.” Public school sites are considered a municipal, or local, resource and the school districts that own the properties directly serve the community in 3 See Cupertino Union School District Resolution No. 21-22-07, “http://go.boarddocs.com/ca/cusdk8/Board.nsf/goto?open&id=C6TLJF5695DF” Figure 1.

which they are located; therefore, the maintenance and retention of public school sites as educational facilities is considered as being in the public interest.
The existing regulations in Chapter 19.76 of the Municipal Code pertaining to the use of BA zoned sites have remained unchanged from the approval of City Council Ordinance 220(1)4in 1970, which was later codified via City Council Ordinance 1601 in 1992 and do not explicitly allow private uses on public properties.
However, CUSD has previously leased their properties, either in part or in whole, to private schools, specialized schools, day care facilities, and tutoring operations, and in these instances, as previously mentioned, the City has required CUPs. In 1985, the Planning Commission approved Resolution No. 26165that outlined recommended guidelines for new uses on public school sites. In general, the resolution recommended that the operations of the new private uses should reflect that of the public school use.
While never formally approved by the City Council, the guidelines were used by the Planning Commission to aid in the review of permits for the use of public school sites.

The proposed Municipal Code Amendment would:
Expand the allowed, or conditionally allowed, uses on BA zoned properties to include a wider range of educational and public service uses. 4 See Ordinance 220 (1) at “https://laserficherioapp.cupertino.org/WebLink/DocView.aspx?id=24869&dbid=0&repo=CityofCupertino” 5 See Resolution No. 2616 at

Explicitly require a CUP, to be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission, for privately operated educational and privately operated public serving uses, including, but not limited to day care facilities and private educational facilities.
Maintain consistency with the intent of the BA district, as the amendment would continue to require that such uses are conducted on property owned by a federal, State, county, or city government or authority, a special district created for public purposes under the laws of the State of California, or any other governmental agency, and leased for said uses.
The amendment would establish a clear process by which private uses that perform functions similar to public agencies, such as schools, can do so on a site that remains owned by the public entity, subject to appropriate conditions that safeguard the surrounding neighborhood. This Code amendment does not modify the uses, conditional or otherwise, for any zoning district other than the BA district and is therefore expected to have no environmental impacts. The potential for operational impacts to the immediate neighborhood are also considered minimal because the added conditional uses are both similar in nature to the public uses that typically operate on the BA-zoned sites and they are subject to the approval of a CUP, unlike public agencies uses which are permitted by right, without conditions affecting their operations.
While the General Plan does not provide specific recommendations for the use of publicly owned and operated land, it does include several policies that support the retention of property, especially school sites, for public use.
Strategy RPC-2.1.2: Public Use of School Sites. Zone all public school sites for public use to allow for the public to use [the] sites, when not in use by schools, through shared arrangements.
Policy RPC-8.1.2: School Expansion. Encourage schools to meet their expansion needs without reducing the size of their sports fields. Goal RPC-8: Cooperate with school districts to share facilities and meet community needs.
Policy LU-6.4: Public Access. Coordinate with property owners of public and quasi-public sites to allow public access of Historic and Commemorative Sites to foster public awareness and education. Private property owners will be highly encouraged, but not required, to provide public access to Historic and Commemorative Sites
Since the proposed Municipal Code Amendment would allow for a limited expansion of the uses allowed in the BA zoning district, the public agencies with current ownership would, presumably, have additional options for revenue generation should the current primary use of the sites be altered or removed. This is particularly true of the local school 485

districts given the continuing trend in decreasing enrollment. As such, the proposed Code amendment supports the extension of the use of those sites in the service of the general public, consistent with the General Plan policies and goals outlined above.
Conditional Use Permit Analysis
If amended, Municipal Code Chapter 19.76 would require a Conditional Use Permit for the operation of a private school on a BA zoned property. As such, Tessellations, the applicant and operator of the private school on the former Regnart school site, is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit concurrently with the proposal to amend Code Chapter 19.76 to conditionally allow private uses on publicly owned land through the approval of a CUP.
In February of this year, Tessellations signed a 10-year lease agreement with the CUSD for the use of the former Regnart Elementary School campus (“the site”). In August of 2023, Tessellations began its private educational operation at the site and the City was shortly thereafter made aware of its use of the site. Tessellations then submitted a CUP application in late-August requesting the City’s consideration for the use of the site as a private Preschool through 9th grade operation.
The complete scope of Tessellations’ operation includes the following:
Pre-K through 9th grade for up to 300 students and 85 staff operating from August to June of each academic year, Monday through Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. An afterschool program hosting up to 125 of the students enrolled in the Pre-K through 9th grade operation, occurring Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Up to seven special events annually for up to 500 people, occurring on weekends and weekdays and ending by 9:00 p.m. with special parking arrangements, as proposed
Small, school-related events for up to 60 people, occurring on weekends and weekdays and ending by 9:00 p.m.
Summer school operations for up to 300 students and 60 staff, operating from June to August of each year, Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Only minor alterations to the campus, including general upkeep, are proposed at this time. No additional development or facility expansion is proposed. Moreover, since the site remains owned by the CUSD, a public agency, Tessellations is required to obtain approval for architectural alterations and site improvements from the Division of the State Architect (“DSA”). A condition has been added to this permit requiring that the City be notified of any approved permits processed through the DSA. 486

U-2023-002, EXC-2023-009 1170 Yorkshire Drive Page 7
Tessellations proposed scope of work is generally consistent with the operation of a public school. The following paragraphs analyze the general factors for consideration of a private school operation.
Number of Students and Staff
At its peak enrollment in 2008, Regnart Elementary School had 652 students and approximately 41 full-time staff. In its final year, prior to its closing, Regnart had 309 students and approximately 31 full-time staff. As noted above, Tessellations proposes a maximum of 300 students and 85 staff, including part-time staff and seasonal vendors.
While there are a higher number of staff expected to be on site on a regular basis, due to Tessellations lower teacher to student ratio (1:5), the total number of persons on site is not expected to exceed what was typically seen at the public school campus during its years of operation. With the parking and travel requirements outlined below, and conditioned as part of this permit, the number of students and staff present on site is expected to result in a use that is consistent with that of a typical public school.
Hours of Operation
Tessellations’ proposed hours of operations are Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., with typical school operations, including the afterschool program, occurring between 7:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. Classes begin at 8:15 a.m. and end at 3:15 p.m. and staff is expected to arrive between 7:00 a.m. and 7:30 a.m.
Tessellations staff has confirmed that the school’s start and end times have been reviewed and approved by CUSD to avoid conflict, to the extent possible, with other schools in the area. Table 2 below indicates the start and end times of the nearby public schools that were taken into consideration in CUSD’s review, as reported by Tessellations.

Drop Off and Pick Up
The proposed student drop-off times are between 8:00 a.m. and 8:15 a.m. and student pick-up is proposed between 3:15 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Pick-up for the after-school program is proposed to occur through to 6:00 p.m.
Student drop-off and pick-up is proposed to occur entirely on the school site, with no drop-off or pick-up occurring on the street. Five staff will supervise the drop-off to assist 487

children exiting vehicles and to address traffic flow issues. Additionally, a crossing guard is stationed at Yorkshire and Folkstone Drives to ensure the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists and to facilitate traffic management.
For student pick-up, Tessellations requires the use of an App for parents and guardians called DashPass. Per their submission material, “each car has a placard showing the children that are to be picked up. DashPass notifies the school when a parent or guardian car enters a specific geo-fence location. At this point, the teacher is notified to release the student[s] and they proceed to the pick-up area.” The pick-up process has seven staff assigned to monitor traffic and ensure safety.
Parking and Traffic
Municipal Code Section 19.124.040 requires schools and school offices in the BA zoning district to provide parking at a
rate of one space per employee,
plus one space per 56 square feet
of multi-purpose room, plus eight
visitor spaces, plus one space for
every three students at senior
high school or college level. Since
Tessellations proposes a
maximum of 85 employees, has
3,072 square feet of multi-purpose
space, but no driving-age high
school or college students, it
would be expected to provide 148
parking spaces on site, based on
the relevant parking Code
requirements.
The site currently has 47 parking spaces, four of which are ADA designated spaces. In addition to the existing parking, Tessellations has proposed a new parking area located in the northern portion of the campus on an existing blacktop area, shown in yellow in Figure 2, below. This area could accommodate up to 20 additional spaces, providing an on-site total of 67 spaces. Nine of the spaces will be utilized by the school’s vans, leaving 58 spaces to accommodate staff parking.

Shared/Alternate Parking Proposed - New Life Church on

To address this discrepancy between Code-required parking amounts and the on-site parking capacity, Tessellations has proposed the use of a satellite parking lot in the event this is necessary to augment their on-site parking. If a need were indicated, or it becomes apparent that staff parking is not accommodable on the school site as reduced through carpooling, biking, and walking, staff would then park at the satellite parking lot and be shuttled in groups to the Tessellations campus, thereby reducing the number of vehicles parked at the campus. Tessellations is currently proposing to have this satellite parking lot located at 20900 McClellan Road, which is currently occupied by New Life Church.
The church parking lot currently has approximately 132 parking spaces. Based on the Municipal Code requirements for parking for churches, 50 spaces must remain available for church-related operations. This leaves 82 remaining spaces on the site which would adequately address Tessellations’ 81 space deficit. Additionally, since the church’s peak use occurs on weekends, Tessellations’ potential use of the parking area on weekdays would not result in any parking deficiencies when the church is in full use.
For special events, Tessellations has proposed the use of the entire on-site blacktop area, typically used for outdoor recreation by students, for temporary overflow parking (see red highlight in Figure 2). This temporary parking lot, when in use, would be operated by a private company, hired by Tessellations to manage and direct parking. Figure 3 below shows an example of the proposed temporary parking layout. 489

MCA-2023-003 BA Zoned Properties December 5, 2023
U-2023-002, EXC-2023-009 1170 Yorkshire Drive Page 10
As these two parking arrangements – satellite parking lots and temporary parking lots – are not a specified alternative to parking standards in the Municipal Code, a Parking Exception is required. Municipal Code Chapter 19.124 allows the City to consider parking exceptions when the proposed project can demonstrate sufficient parking through an alternative means. The findings for approving a parking exception are listed below:
1. The literal enforcement of this chapter will result in restrictions inconsistent with the spirit and intent of this chapter.
2. The granting of the exception will not be injurious to property or improvements in the area nor be detrimental to the public safety, health, and welfare.
3. The exception to be granted is one that will require the least modification and the minimum variance to accomplish the purpose.
4. The proposed exception will not result in significant impacts to neighboring properties.
The proposed Parking Exception considers the alternative parking arrangement of an offsite parking lot for use by the school as well as a temporary parking lot on an existing blacktop area. This total does not account for the staff that may walk, bike, or carpool to work, which would reduce the total number of spaces needed on a regular basis. Through the use of the satellite parking lot, Tessellations would have access to a total of 149 spaces, a surplus of one space over the required parking ratio. Additionally, Tessellations has provided an alternative option for their special events which would accommodate up to approximately 120 additional spaces on site through temporary parking area.
This additional parking is expected to adequately address the potential for spillover into the adjacent areas and does not result in a reduction in the overall number of parking Figure 3: Proposed Event Parking Layout

spaces required through Municipal Code Section 19.124.040. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the Parking Exception.
Review by Other Departments and Agencies
The project application was reviewed by the City’s Building Division, Public Works Department, Environmental Services Division, and the County Fire Department.
Comments from each of these departments and agencies have been incorporated into the conditions of approval for this project.
Planning Commission Summary
On November 14, 2023, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing for their recommendation to the Council regarding the proposals. By a 5-0 vote, the Commission adopted Resolution No. 2023-14 (Attachment 6) recommending that the City Council find all actions exempt from CEQA and adopt the proposed Municipal Code Amendment to the standards of the BA zoning district. Separately, by a 4-1 vote (No: Scharf), the Commission adopted Resolution No.s 2023-15 and 2023-16 (Attachments 7 and 8) recommending that the Council approve the Conditional Use Permit and Parking Exception as proposed by Tessellations.
The Commission received comments from the public regarding use of public street parking by school staff and visitors, public access to the school property, potential for increased traffic, concerns of an increase in crime, traffic during large events, the use of the shuttle service, and limited on-site parking.
Municipal Code Amendment Discussion
Discussion related to the Municipal Code Amendment was limited and revolved around an understanding of how the text amendment was exempt from CEQA. Staff clarified that the Municipal Code Amendment would not permit without future review and approval of a CUP, any operations on other BA zoned sites.
Conditional Use Permit Discussion
With regards to the Use Permit, Commissioners noted that there was support for maintaining a school use at the site and that the proposed use was compatible based on its size. The Commission had general comments in the following areas:
If the barriers to allow for a private school use on school district owned property became too high, it may not be feasible for CUSD to retain ownership of the sites as occurred in the 1980s when school sites were closed.
One commissioner voiced concerns about impacts to neighborhood traffic and the operation of the school prior to receiving permits while three others noted that some traffic issues were inherent with any school operation. 491

MCA-2023-003 BA Zoned Properties December 5, 2023
U-2023-002, EXC-2023-009 1170 Yorkshire Drive Page 12
One Commissioner was concerned about the use of the blacktop for special events and afterschool program use would limit the public’s access to the site. However, the applicant clarified that the school had approval via email from CUSD for use of the black top exclusively until 6 p.m. even though this was not reflected in their lease. It was further clarified that access to the fields would remain open to the public after 4 p.m., unless permitted by the City for use exclusively by Tessellations6.
Parking Exception Discussion
Discussion around the Parking Exception included comments and clarifications in the following areas:
Parking requirements and calculation
Permit parking
Whether the school intended to expand beyond the proposed 300 students and 85 staff.
Use of New Life Church as a satellite lot, clarification on existing uses at the Church and the potential for another site to be a satellite lot. Staff clarified that the resolution for EXC-2023-009 contains a condition of approval which requires notification of and approval by the City if the satellite parking lot is proposed at a new location. Need for parking and traffic studies. Staff clarified that these studies were not required since the project is exempt from CEQA. It was also clarified that the 148 space requirement indicates a maximum parking requirement, which is well in excess of what would typically be utilized on a day to day basis. One Commissioner noted their support of the school using the parking in the right of way closest to the school along Yorkshire Drive for school parking in the future.
Modifications to Conditions of Approval
Staff has provided two new conditions of approval to address topics discussed by the Planning Commission but not incorporated as a part of their final action, and other minor clarifications, as part of the updated draft resolution for the Council’s consideration:
Permit Parking: Following Tessellations’ opening at the 1170 Yorkshire Drive location, the neighboring property owners concurrently submitted a petition for permit parking to the City. The Planning Commission discussed the neighborhood’s request for permit parking and contemplated the addition of a condition to require that Tessellations cover the costs associated with the permit parking. The Commission did not include this condition in 6 Tessellations is currently permitting the field Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., in accordance with the City’s Field Use Policy, available online at https://www.cupertino.org/ourcity/departments/parks-recreation/reservations-permits/sports-fields-courts 492

MCA-2023-003 BA Zoned Properties December 5, 2023
U-2023-002, EXC-2023-009 1170 Yorkshire Drive Page 13
their final motion. Following the Planning Commission meeting, the request for permit parking was withdrawn by residents of the neighborhood.
Staff recommends adding a condition of approval to address the potential for future requests for permit parking in response to the operation of a private school, which requires that the operator defray the cost of City permit fees associated with the initiation and maintenance of permit parking for up to 75 residences in the surrounding area. This condition would only be if, in the opinion of the Public Works Director (or his/her designee), the permit parking request came as a direct result of significant parking impacts from the private school use.
Shuttle Service: The Commission considered whether to include a condition to regulate and mandate the use of the shuttle service. Two Commissioners noted that with implementation of permit parking (which had been applied for at that time), shuttle service would likely not be needed. Three Commissioners also noted that if the school were allowed credit for the on-street parking spaces abutting the school on the east side of Yorkshire Drive, it would be possible that the shuttle service would not be needed.
Eventually, this condition was not incorporated into the Planning Commission’s action.
Staff recommends adding a condition of approval requiring the use of the shuttle service if it is determined by the Director of Community Development, in consultation with the City’s Public Works Director (or his/her designee), that the parking associated with the private school operation is creating a public nuisance in the surrounding neighborhood.
Sustainability Impact
Modifications to BA zoned properties and the site at 1170 Yorkshire Drive will be subject to Title 24 and other applicable state laws governing green building standards.
Fiscal Impact
No fiscal impact.
Environmental Assessment
The project, as proposed, is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines. The key consideration in making this determination is whether the project involves negligible or no expansion of use (CCR Title 14 § 15301). In this instance, the project is the operation of a private educational facility on a former public school site that involves only minor physical changes to the site.

SECTION I: PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Application No.: MCA-2023-003
Applicant: City of Cupertino
Location: Public Building (BA) Zoned Properties
SECTION II: RECITALS
WHEREAS, Cupertino Municipal Code Chapter 19.76 outlines the requirements for uses proposed in the City’s Public Building (BA) zoning district; and WHEREAS, the maintenance and retention of public school sites as educational facilities is considered as being in the public interest; and
WHEREAS, the City has certain General Plan Goals, Policies and Strategies that support the retention of publicly owned property, it does not have regulations that specifically address the private use of these properties, and that the amendments to Chapter 19.76 will provide a standard to review private operations on publicly owned property; WHEREAS, the Ordinance amends the City's Municipal Code as set forth in Exhibit A to clarify the development standards to be applied to private uses on publicly owned land within BA Zones; and
WHEREAS, the Ordinance is consistent with the City's General Plan and the public health, safety, convenience, and general welfare; and
WHEREAS, adoption of the Ordinance is exempt from CEQA under Guidelines section 15301 because it can be seen that the regulations for use of existing public facilities for private operations, requiring a discretionary use permit, will result in negligible or no expansion of use and it can be seen with certainty that these regulations related to private uses on publicly owned property will have no possibility of a significant effect on the environment; and
WHEREAS, following necessary public notices given as required by the procedural ordinances of the City of Cupertino and the Government Code, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on November 14, 2023 to consider the Ordinance; and WHEREAS, on November 14, 2023, by Resolution 2023-14, the Planning Commission 495

recommended on a unanimous vote that the City Council adopt the proposed Municipal Code Amendment to clarify development standards in the Public Building (BA) Zones; and
WHEREAS, on December 5, 2023, upon due notice, the City Council has held at least one public hearing to consider the Municipal Code Amendment; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Cupertino is the decision-making body for this Ordinance.
SECTION III
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED:
That after careful consideration of facts, exhibits, testimony and other evidence submitted in this matter the City Council hereby adopts the Ordinance based on the findings described below, the public hearing, and the record, as follows:
Section 1. The recitals set forth above are true and correct and are hereby incorporated herein by this reference as if fully set forth in their entirety.
Section 2. The City Council finds the following as set forth by Municipal Code Sections 19.152.020C and 19.152.030D:
1. That the proposed zoning is in accord with Title 19 of the Municipal Code and the City's Comprehensive General Plan (Community Vision 2040) and the proposed amendments are internally consistent with Title 19 of the Municipal Code.
The proposed amendments have been adopted in accord with the requirements of Title 19, and the proposed amendments to Section 19.76.030 are proposed to achieve internal consistency. The amendments are consistent with the Recreation, Parks, and Community Servies Element of the General Plan, which in Strategy RPC-2.1.2 states that the City will Zone all public school sites for public use to allow for the public to use [the] sites, when not in use by schools, through shared arrangements. The proposed Ordinance is intended to update the City's conditionally allowed uses in the BA Zone, in accordance with historical practices, as described in the staff report presented to the Planning Commission and City Council.
2. The proposed zoning is in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The proposed amendment is categorically exempt from the CEQA pursuant to section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines because it can be seen that the regulations for use of existing public facilities for private operations, requiring a discretionary use permit, will result in negligible or no expansion of use and it can be 496
CC 12-05-2023
496 of 723
seen with certainty that these regulations related to private uses on publicly owned property will have no possibility of a significant effect on the environment and none of the exceptions in CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 apply.
3. The site is physically suitable (including, but not limited to, access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and absence of physical constraints) for the requested zoning designation(s) and anticipated land use development(s).
The proposed ordinance amendment is not being applied to any specific site. The modifications would be applied to sites in the BA Zone which are currently maintained as publicly operated public serving uses. The expansion of allowed uses to privately operated public serving uses is not expected to result in a substantial change in operations and therefore, the sites in the BA zone are considered to be physically suitable for the anticipated uses.
4. The proposed zoning will promote orderly development of the City.
The proposed amendment is intended to promote the continued use of BA zoned properties for public serving uses with flexibility in operator. The amendment is not expected to result in significant modifications or physical changes to these sites which are currently used for public serving uses.

Therefore, the proposed action is not subject to further review under CEQA. The City Council further directs the Director of Community Development to file a Notice of Exemption with the Santa Clara County Recorder in accordance with CEQA and the CEQA guidelines.
Section 8. To the extent the provisions of this Ordinance are substantially the same as previous provisions of the Cupertino Municipal Code, these provisions shall be construed as continuations of those provisions and not as amendments of the earlier provisions.

502 of 723
The school is an existing facility and only minor improvements are proposed as part of this application to allow for operation as a private school site. Further, the operation of the private school is seen as substantially similar to the previous operation as a public school and is therefore will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, general welfare, or convenience.

The Project, as proposed, will be located on an existing school site and will operate in a manner that is substantially similar to previous uses at the site. The operation of a private educational facility at this property is in accord with the General Plan and the underlying zoning regulations. The Project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) per section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, which applies to existing facilities that involve negligible or no expansion of existing or former use.
WHEREAS, the City Council is the approval authority for this project and is granted the authority by the Municipal Code to exercise its independent judgment, based on the record before it, for purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council takes the following actions:

The Class 1 exemption applies to existing facilities that involve negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. The proposed project includes only minor alterations to the existing school facility.

available, resulting in a deficit of 101 stalls in the proposed parking supply. However, Municipal Code Chapter 19.124 provides for alternative parking considerations through the exception process. The applicant has proposed the use of an off-site parking lot for staff parking and shuttling of staff from the off-site parking lot to the site. This off-site location would accommodate an additional 81 parking spaces. Additionally, the applicant has proposed 20 alternative parking spaces on-site which would accommodate the total required number of parking spaces. Applying the standard requirements for on-site parking and conforming parking stall and aisle sizes on this property would result in a site that is significantly developed with parking and would remove valuable open space. The development would be detrimental to the peace and enjoyment of neighboring property owners or residents and would therefore be inconsistent with the stated intent of Chapter
19.124.
b) The granting of the exception will not be injurious to property or improvements in the area nor be detrimental to the public safety, health and welfare; Given that the project is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinances and has been designed to be compatible with and respectful of adjoining land uses, the project will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity, and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, general welfare, or convenience. c) The exception to be granted is one that will require the least modification and the minimum variance to accomplish the purpose;
See Section A above.
d) The proposed exception will not result in significant impacts to neighboring properties;
Given that the project proposes the minimum supply required by the Municipal Code and there are traffic management measures proposed by the applicant and included in the conditions of approval, the proposed exception is not anticipated to result in significant parking impacts to neighboring properties.
WHEREAS, the City Council is the approval authority for this project and is granted the authority by the Municipal Code to exercise its independent judgment, based on the record before it, for purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council takes the following actions:
1. Exercises its independent judgment and determines that the Project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301. The Class 1 exemption applies to existing facilities that involve negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. The proposed project includes only minor alterations to the existing school facility. Therefore, the proposed project would not involve the expansion 515
CC 12-05-2023
515 of 723
of the former use (Section 15301, Class 1), will not significantly expand the use beyond the current use that already exists or previously existed, and will not have a significant effect on the environment.
2. Approves the application for a Parking Exception, Application no. EXC-2023-009 subject to conditions which are enumerated in this Resolution beginning on PAGE 3 thereof. The conclusions and sub-conclusions upon which the findings and conditions specified in this resolution are based, including those contained in the Public Hearing record concerning Application No. EXC-2023-009 as set forth in the Minutes of City Council Meeting of December 5, 2023, are hereby incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.

Tessellations Project Description for Cupertino Planning Division Location: 1170 Yorkshire Drive
Detailed description of operations
Tessellations is a K-8 independent, progressive school tailored for gifted students. It was created in 2020 by a group of like-minded parents and educators dedicated to serving the needs of the whole child. Tessellations provides challenging experiential education that recognizes and nurtures the individual strengths of gifted learners, empowering them to confidently express who they are and pursue a meaningful life. We are a community of imaginative, empathetic, productive, and passionate lifelong learners who advance an equitable and sustainable world.
In the 2023-2024 academic year, Tessellations expects to have approximately 200 students ages 5-13 (grades K-8). It is expected to have 64 full-time staff and 6 part-time staff for the 2023-2024 academic year. Classes offered include homeroom classes for grades K-8, mathematics, literacy, humanities, science, art, theater, music, physical education/movement, and electives.
Tessellations is considering opening or subleasing (with CUSD’s permission) a Preschool, Transitional Kindergarten, or Day Care on the site. We understand that would require a different license, and we are looking into it presently.
Tessellations is also considering subleasing (with CUSD’s permission) space to various afterschool vendors or service providers. These would all be in keeping with our mission of serving the student population and would likely be relatively short-term as we grow to utilize the entire campus.
Student enrollment for academic year 2023-2024 is expected to be:
Age Expected Number
5 (kindergarten) 28
6 (1st grade) 18
7 (2nd grade) 22
8 (3rd grade) 23
9 (4th grade) 20

Tessellations Overview
Our Population: We serve asynchronous learners, meaning children that are more advanced in one area than another. E.g., they may be several years ahead in mathematics, but at grade level when it comes to literacy, or vice versa. Or they may be exceptionally advanced in terms of conceptual thinking, but struggle with a social-emotional issue (perfectionism, risk-taking, etc.). Most of the children that attend our school do so because their families have decided that they benefit significantly from a different type of education, crafted especially for this type of learner. Thus, we are quite different from yet another achievement-oriented high-pressure Bay Area private school. In many ways, we are the opposite of those schools.
Most importantly, we are serving a segment of the population that is “left behind” both by the public schools, as well as the traditional private school network. This is not a criticism of either of those categories of institutions; unfortunately, however, neither is set up to adequately serve the needs of our population. This was the impetus for forming Tessellations in the first place.
Non-Profit: We are a not-for-profit corporation. Our goal is purely to serve our students; we are not financially driven.
Our Mission: Tessellations provides challenging experiential education that recognizes and nurtures the individual strengths of gifted learners, empowering them to confidently express who they are and pursue a meaningful life.
Scope of Use: We are applying as a PreK-9th school, including an after-school program and a summer camp program. For further details, see Item 6 below.
Grade Bands: Tessellations uses a grade band system for homerooms. Kindergarten is it’s own grade band, as is 1st grade. 2nd and 3rd grades are together, as are 4th/5th and 6th/7th. 8th is by itself. This method is considered best practice for asynchronous learners due to the possibility of grouping kids together that may have a wide array of abilities.
Project-Based Learning: At Tessellations, each grade band will cover one or more Journeys every year. “Journeys” are what we call our Project-Based Learning curriculum, and they are a project-based, integrated approach to instruction in multiple subjects. English Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, History, and Art are woven into a meaningful and relevant storyline, instead of treating the subjects as discrete classes. Journeys are designed to strengthen conceptual understanding through critical examination, deep reflection, and meaningful connection to the real world in a collaborative learning experience. All Journeys include SEL (Social Emotional Learning) and DEIB (Diversity Equity Inclusion Belonging) components.
Social Emotional Learning: Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is incorporated into school experiences in the form of daily opening and closing circles, dedicated SEL classes, and curriculum connections to every single Journey. The SEL curriculum supports student’s development of a deep sense of self, interpersonal relationships, community connections, as well as their personal agency, their potential to impact on the world around them, and the
