CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
April 2, 2025
Subject
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) among West Valley Cities ( Cupertino, Campbell, Saratoga, Monte Sereno, and Town of Los Gatos) for a feasibility study to evaluate the potential of any temporary housing facility or emergency shelter.
Recommended Action
Authorize the City Manager to execute the MOU for the West Valley Cities Shelter Feasibility Study.
Reasons for Recommendation
By entering into the MO U, there is no fiscal obligation from Cupertino to proceed with the feasibility that will allow the west valley cities to explore a regional approach for the existing unhoused population to understand any unique demographic and service needs.
Background
The City of Campbell initiated this effort in Oct ober 2024 to fulfill its Housing Element commitments to study the feasibility of developing temporary housing facilities and emergency shelters for the unhoused. Neighboring west valley cities were consulted to explore opportunities for collaboration to en act similar housing element policies. By joining this effort, the City of Cupertino will further its commitments as outlined in HE -5.1.1 Emergency Shelters and HE -5.1.4 Low Barrier Navigation Center and Supportive Services in the City’s certified Housing Element, of adopting state required zoning changes to allow emergency shelters and navigation centers for the unhoused, by studying the feasibility of their development.
The following definitions of the various types of shelters and housing for the unhoused are as follows:
Seasonal shelters offer overnight stay during select months of the year or during extreme weather conditions (usually winter).
33 CC 04-02-2025
33 of 321
2 Emergency homeless shelters provide overnight beds, are open year -round to the general public, and have no requirement for entry.
Special needs shelter s cater to a specific portion of the unhoused population, who by their nature, require higher confidentiality and have a selective requirement for entry .
Examples include youth shelters or domestic violence shelters. Navigation centers provide congregate beds at low barrier for entry for extended stays with case management and supportive services with the goal of entering individuals into temporary or transitional housing. Stays generally range between 30 to 60 days. Temporary housing, also known as non -congregate shelters, provide separate furnished rooms with stays between 1 and 3 months per household.
Transitional housing is similar to temporary housing, but it also provides case management and supportive services with the goal of exiting indiv iduals into stability.
Stays are for extended terms that can be up to 24 months. Permanent support ive housing is long-term housing with supportive services for individuals that experience chronic homelessness.
The City of Cupertino provides grant funding to various nonprofit organizations for supportive services to the unhoused through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Human Service Grant (HSG), and other various local and regional funding programs. While these services are vital for assisting the unhoused, some are not available throughout the year, such as the Rotating Safe Car Park program, which only operates in two month increments. Meanwhile, other programs are restricted to a select portion of the unhoused population, such as the Maitri Anjali Domestic Violence Transitional Housing program , which provides shelter and case management for women and children fleeing violence in their homes . Therefore, the City has only provided seasonal and special needs shelters to this date.
There is a need for more types of shelter and housing for the unhoused, in particular, emergency shelter and temporary housing in the City. While the City of Cupertino is an active participating member of the Santa Clara County Continuum of Care, which manages shelters for all jurisdictions in Santa Clara County, the City has yet to develop an emergency shelter that is available year -round and available to the general population within its own borders. For an unhoused person in Cupertino to be placed into a shelter, they are scored for acuity in the County Continuum of Care assessment, and if placed into an available bed, must relocate to a shelter far outside of their community. Furthermore, none of the cities in the West Santa Clara Valley have permanent shelters available to the general public throughout the year. This may pose a risk to the City as a potential exclusionary fair housing concern (which covers all aspects of housing and housing-related services, including shelters) as shelter services are segregated to specific areas of the County.

3 West Valley Cities Memorandum of Understanding
The City of Cupertino, along with other cities in the Santa Clara West Valley, such as the Cities of Campbell, Saratoga, Monte Sereno, and the Town of Los Gatos will join efforts to collectively study the feasibility of developing temporary and emergency housing facilities, and expanding supportive services for the unhoused in the West Valley. The effort is lead by the City of Campbell, who will be re sponsible for funding the study in the amount of $99,000 with funds acquired through the American Rescue Plan Act and managing procurement, execution, and deliverables of the contract with the consultant conducting the study, Good City Company. The other C ities will be participating jurisdictions which agree to be included within the area of study, to share necessary data with the consultant to complete the study , and to share the findings of the study with their respective City Councils upon completion . The West Valley Cities each plan to authorize their respective City Managers to execute the MOU on the following dates:
Campbell – Council approved on February 18th
Los Gatos – February 24th
Monte Sereno – March 4th
Saratoga – March 19th
Monte Sereno – April 1st
In order to be part of the regional effort, staff recommends the Council to authorize the City Manager to execute the Memorandum of Understanding between the Cities of Campbell, Cupertino, Saratoga, Monte Sereno, and Town of Los Gatos for the joint f easibility study of development of temporary and emergency ho using facilities and programs for the unhoused.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: April 2, 2025
Subject
Consider the adoption of a City Council Special Project Policy
Recommended Action
Adopt Resolution No. 25-XXX approving the City Council Special Project Policy
Background
The Budget Format review Draft Implementation Action Plan (IAP) report included a recommendation to draft a policy for City Council’s consideration on special projects. This policy is being brought before City Council ahead of the FY 2025 -26 Proposed Budget to ensure City Council has sufficient time to review and approve as requested by City Council.
In summary the new City Council Special Project policy governs the inclusion and tracking of Special Projects within the City’s budget process. This policy clarifies City Council's authority in approving special projects, ensures financial transparency, and establishes a framework for reporting on these projects.
Historically, Special Projects were included in the budget starting in FY 2013-14 to allow City Council to easily track high visibility projects or costs, such as development agreements and pavement maintenance. This process was then further broadened to include all one-time projects to provide the smoothing of material and contract trendlines and subsequently the City Work Program was also added.
The policy proposes to define Special Projects by:
Defining what is and is not a Special Project
When City Manager approval is necessary
When City Council approval is necessary
Establish a process for answering of City Council questions and, Defining a method for tracking and reporting Special Projects
Sustainability Impact
No sustainability impact.

N/A
Effective Date:
April 2, 2025, per Resolution 25-XX
Responsible Department:
Administrative Services
Related Policies & Notes City Council or Administrative Policy: City Council
Purpose
To establish City Council authority for the purpose and creation of Special Projects for inclusion and tracking as part the City’s budget process.
Special Projects are defined as one-time, staff-initiated projects that require City Council approval due to the need for budget appropriations that exceed a department’s base budget. Base budget items are the baseline appropriations to continue operations at the current level. In instances where there are sufficient budget appropriations the City Manager must request City Council authority in the form of a consent agenda item to reappropriate the funds as a special project. As discussed in the Special Project Reporting section below, these projects will continue to be reported in the Special Project reports.
Special Projects are not meant to track ongoing operational costs like street pavement maintenance, minor repairs, development projects which may span multiple fiscal years , or the purchase of equipment, unless the department needs to track these expenses because of the use of restricted funds to pay for the equipment or materials. Ongoing operational costs will be included in the department’s base budget or added as an ongoing budget appropriation request to the City Council.
Policy
This policy, including any amendments, shall be approved by City Council Resolution and shall be effective upon the policy’s adoption.
It is the objective of the City to ensure transparent financial reporting that allows Councilmembers, residents, and staff to track expenditures across multiple fiscal years.
This policy will be reviewed annually as part of the proposed budget process.

As part of the City’s proposed budget process, departments must submit for approval any new one- time projects or initiatives that require additional funding. If approved by the City Manager, these projects are included in the proposed and final budget for City Council consideration and approval.
63 CC 04-02-2025
63 of 321
These requests are separate and are apart from the City Work Program (CWP) items, which are Council initiated and may be one-time and/or result in ongoing costs. Both types of projects require City Council appropriation approval.
City Council Approval and Questions
All Special Projects approved by the City Manager that require additional appropriations will be included in the proposed and final budgets for City Council approval. These projects will be presented and discussed during the budget process, and appropriations added upon approval.
Off cycle Special Project creation using the reappropriation of existing funds will be presented to City Council as a consent item for approval.
Any questions from City Council regarding Special Projects that are part of the regular Special Projects reporting process described in the section below will be answered as part of the supplemental report process . Questions that fall outside of the reporting process will be responded to in a timely manner based on the scope of the question.
Special Project Reporting
Special Projects will be included in the departmental narratives of the proposed and final budget. A summary of proposed Special Projects will be included in the summary section of the budget message and upon budget approval this list will be finalized as part of the final budget.
As part of the quarterly financial reports, staff will report on the following items for all Special Projects:
Adoption Year
Function - department that has the special project , for example Administration, which encompasses City Manager and City Attorney.
Program - specific budget unit (e.g., 120 City Manager) Base and Detail Account with Detail Account description – the expense account where the special project is budgeted, for example 750-.056 Neighborhood engagement. Special project account numbers are unique to one project.
Full Org Set Code and Description – Includes full account string (Fund-Div-Program) and description of the org set. For example, 100-12-632, where the first three digits are the fund, the next two digits are the division, and the last three digits are the program in which the special project is budgeted. General Fund-City Manager-Comm Outreach & Neighborhood Watch.
Amended Budget – This is the total budget in a fiscal year and includes new dollars added in proposed and any budgeted dollars that have been carried forward from the prior fiscal year as of a given date, for quarterly report they include Sept-30, Dec-31 and March-31. Actual Amount – dollars spent as of a given date, see amended section above. Encumbrance – dollars encumbered either through a contract or purchase order as of a given date.
Status – This includes completed, in progress, not started, started, pending and cancelled. 64 CC 04-02-2025
64 of 321
Outside Funding – identifies if outside funding is available like grants to fund the projects. Estimated Completion – the date and month the Special Project is expected to be completed. Notes – this includes information that staff would like to make the council and residents aware of and includes future plans like a project being carried over or defunded, along with other updates.
This quarterly financial report is meant to be informative, and the City Council is not required to approve or take any action, other than to receive the attachment as part of the financial report.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: April 2, 2025
Subject
Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Capital Improvement Programs and Five-year Plan.
Recommended Action
Receive presentation and provide input on the development of the proposed Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Capital Improvement Programs and Five-year Plan.
Executive Summary
As part of the City of Cupertino's annual budget process, staff gather and develop proposals for new Capital Improvement Programs (CIP) projects. The City Council reviews these proposals and provides feedback. This process helps staff to refine and fully develop the annual CIP before presenting the proposal with the annual budget.
The Fiscal Year (FY) 25-26 CIP proposal is focused on providing safety through repair and revitalization of existing infrastructure to preserve existing facilities. In addition, the program aims to create future ongoing savings where possible. This approach aligns with the projected CIP funding of $2 million annually and focuses those funds on existing critical infrastructure.
Reasons for Recommendation
Development of the annual CIP is a multi-step process, as detailed briefly here:
• Annually Staff compiles the needs identified through internal proposals from City departments and divisions, and reviews planning documents (e.g., master plans, and existing facility assessments) to connect the CIP with the City’s strategic plans, as referred to in Attachment D. • April 2 City Council is presented with a draft CIP proposal and provides input on the proposed CIP and the five-year plan.
• April 3, 16 and
17 Staff reviews the CIP proposals with commissions that have goals that align with the projects. This year the Parks and Recreation Commission (4/3), Bicycle and Pedestrian Commission (4/16), and Sustainability Commission (4/17) will have CIP preview proposals on their April meeting agendas.
69 CC 04-02-2025
69 of 321
• April 22 Planning Commission verifies that the proposed CIP recommendations are in conformance with the General Plan. The CIP discussion will go to the Planning Commission on April 22. • May/June The proposed CIP item returns to the City Council as part of the adoption of the annual Operating Budget.
The proposed CIP generally includes a request for funding for current FY projects, as well as program support for the five-year plan. It is important to note that years two through five are included for planning purposes to identify potential future expenditures and workloads. These future projects are not funded with the approval of the FY 25-26 CIP.
Background
A capital improvement project is a project that enhances a unit of property, restores, or prolongs the useful life of a unit of property, or adapts the unit of property to a new or different use. The CIP Division of Public Works provides planning, design, procurement, and construction administration for all CIP projects including streets, sidewalks, storm drainage, buildings, parks, bicycle and pedestrian improvements, and other public facilities. The division ensures that the design and construction of the public improvements occur in accordance with community expectations, and applicable City and State of California standards. The CIP division places public health and safety as the highest priority in the planning and delivery of CIP projects.
The City has several types of projects. A key factor that defines a CIP project, as opposed to maintenance projects, Special Projects, City Work Program (CWP) projects, or other capital initiatives, is the need for professional design services that require specialized expertise, analysis, or documentation. While CIP projects are typically focused on design and construction, there are instances where planning processes, such as feasibility studies or analysis projects, also require design and engineering services, classifying them as CIP projects. These general guidelines vary depending on the specifics of each project.
Project Priorities
Project prioritization is used as a tool to inform decisions regarding funding and the scheduling of resources. Staff evaluate and rank new project proposals based on the factors listed below. The highest priority is given to projects that require repair of existing facilities to address public health and safety and to protect public and private property. Other factors, including available funding and resources to complete a project, are then considered within the context of other City goals.
Below is the criterion used:
//
70 CC 04-02-2025
70 of 321
TABLE 1: PRIORITIES FOR CIP PROJECTS, LEGEND
• Health and Safety: assets that require repair or upgrading to protect public health and safety, including protection of public and private property, take highest priority.
Example: Repair of Stormwater Drain Outfalls is a high priority to avoid further deterioration of public/private property.
• Council, Commissions, and Community Priorities: Incorporates Council priorities, suggestions from Commissions, and Community input.
Example: Lawrence-Mitty Trail and Park project is prioritized by the City Council, Parks and Recreation Commission, and members of the public.
• Master Plan Priorities: The City’s master plans have many stated goals and policies that affect the generation of CIP projects. Staff reviews the goals found in these documents, including stated priorities of commissions.
Example: Projects to remove natural gas appliances from the City’s facilities are prioritized by the Climate Action Plan as part of the City’s decarbonization initiatives.
• Ongoing phases: some projects advance as subsequent phases of existing/completed projects.
Example: Regnart Road Improvements, Phase 2 project is a subsequent phase of the overall Regnart Road Improvements project, initiated in FY 16-17.
• Fiscally Responsible: Improvements or projects that enhance fiscally responsible use of City resources, including staff time and City funds. Projects that have secured (or could secure) outside funding, such as grants, are also given priority.
Example: The Bollinger Road Corridor Design project is included in the CIP because the majority of the study will be funded through a grant.

Existing projects are reviewed annually in the context of fiscal responsibility to confirm that continuing the project is the best course of action. Attachment A has more detail on all existing projects, including a review to possibly defund projects. The review of existing projects this year has resulted in a recommendation to retain all existing projects and their current funding.
Project narratives for each of the newly proposed projects can be found in Attachment B.
Attachment C is the fiscal summary table for the FY 25-26 CIP and five-year plan.
Attachment D provides information about projects suggested in each of the City’s master plans.
Projects completed in FY 24-25, or which are scheduled for completion this year include:
• Blackberry Farm Pool Improvements
• De Anza Boulevard Buffered Bike Lanes
• McClellan Road Separated Bike Corridor, Phase 3

Refer to Attachment A for a summary of the project. *Project that is projected to be complete by July 2025
Staff anticipate that these projects will underspend their respective budgets by approximately $200,000. These underspent funds will be returned to the Capital Reserve (or other appropriate accounts based on the original source of any restricted funds).
Public Works and Finance staff work together as part of the year-end process to close out completed projects, presenting this information as part of the first quarter report for the following fiscal year.

Proposed annual CIP funding that exceeds $2M/year will require additional funds beyond the $2M annual funding being allocated to the program. Where possible, staff will search for external funding to address funding requests of more than $2M.
In summary, the proposed FY 25-26 CIP includes ongoing funding for two existing facilities projects and funding for storm drain utility repairs. The projects proposed this year are a result of information from existing facility assessments, which show the need for extensive improvements and repairs to the City’s aging infrastructure. Due to the extensive nature of the work needed, staff envision some of these projects becoming regular or even annual requests for the foreseeable future. The program has 28 existing 73 CC 04-02-2025
73 of 321
projects that are a priority to close out. This year, the proposal for new projects was driven by the need to implement health and safety-driven projects and was further impacted by limited staffing resources and $2 million in funding.
The proposed five-year plan focuses on rehabilitating critical infrastructure that has aged beyond its life cycle. While the City has focused its rehabilitation efforts in recent years on revitalizing its pavement condition, the City must now shift some of this focus onto its buildings and storm drain system to address public health and safety issues.
Sustainability Impact
Future projects will be evaluated for sustainability impacts as they are developed.
Fiscal Impact
The FY 25-26 proposal for CIP includes an allocation of $2 million for new and annually funded projects from the Capital Reserve. Should grant funds be awarded, staff will return to City Council to make the necessary budget adjustments. If the proposal for FY 25-26 CIP is approved, the Capital Reserve is estimated to be $8.53 million in available fund balance for the CIP. The $8.53 million balance includes the $5 million minimum reserve balance for the fund (refer to Attachment E).

ATTACHMENT A
FY2024 – 2025 CIP Status and FY2025 – 2026 CIP Proposal
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) contains 28 active projects.
Four projects were successfully completed this fiscal year, with one additional project scheduled to be completed prior to July 2025. The FY 25-26 CIP proposal considers the current staffing levels and ensures that future projects are planned in a way that aligns with available resources for effective execution.
This document provides a summary of the existing projects, broken into five categories of projects, for ease of discussion. Within each section on the type of project, you will find a summary of the existing projects, proposed projects, unfunded projects, projects that can be defunded, and the five-year plan for each of the categories.
CIP projects typically fall into four categories: Parks, Streets and Infrastructure, Transportation, and Facilities. This year we are introducing a fifth category – Sustainability projects. It is a more accurate reflection of the City’s goals to highlight efforts towards Sustainability and Resilience.
LEGEND:
1 Facilities: Yellow
2 Parks: Green
3 Streets and Infrastructure: Orange
4 Transportation/ Bike and Pedestrian: Blue
5 Sustainability: Maroon
Allocation of each project into a ‘category’ does not have financial implications and many projects could be placed into more than one category. However, the classification is useful for reviewing the distribution of funds to the type of assets receiving capital improvements.
Wherever possible, we use color coding to illustrate the project category, as indicated in the list above.

Facilities Condition Assessment Project
In 2018 the “Comprehensive Facility Condition and Use Efficiency Assessment” report was completed. This report was updated in 2022 by the “Facility Condition Assessment” (FCA). The FCA reviewed 48 facilities at 24 locations. The report identified $28.8 million of renewal projects, with $4 million in priority one projects. The 2022 FCA report explained that “…conditions in this [priority one] category require immediate action to: a) correct a cited safety hazard, b) stop accelerated deterioration, and/or c) return a facility to operation. Deficiencies in this category should be addressed in 0-12 Months.”
Since the updated report was issued, six projects have been initiated: Senior Center Fire Alarm system (FAS) upgrade, Quinlan Community Center (QCC) AC Chiller replacements, Sports Center Locker and Shower rooms improvements, and the replacement of three flat roofs at Sports Center, QCC, and Senior Center. Other completed FCA projects include: Sports Center Fire Control Center panel replacement, and the Sports Center Seismic Retrofit.
The cost estimates in the report are based on 2022 figures, and an escalation rate of roughly 5% per year should be applied to account for the projected cost of incomplete projects. This leads to a 21.55% escalation for 2026. The current approved project funding, including the $423,420 in CDBG funding (designated specifically for Senior Center improvements), totals $2,429,890. Of this, $41,342 remains unencumbered and available for new projects.
The highest-priority projects include upgrades to life-safety systems at five facilities, estimated to cost approximately $890,000. The FY25-26 FCA project funding request is for an additional $940,000.
Improvements to the Library life-safety systems are also needed, as are repairs to the Sports Center Shower and Locker rooms. It is planned to request additional funding for those projects in FY26-27.

C. Evaluation of Facilities CIP Projects to Defund:
The FCA projects are critical health and safety improvements to existing facilities. ADA improvements are similarly critical, and federal mandates require that the City continues to make improvements to accessibility to public facilities. The work remaining on the Library Expansion project is completely grant-funded. The City does not recommend defunding any of these projects.
D. Unfunded Facilities CIP Projects:
In the past five years, several projects have been proposed and remain unfunded. The list that follows notes the years projects were proposed and projected cost in FY25-26 dollars.

*Note: Estimated costs reported in 2022 for the renovation of the facility that included seismic reinforcement to meet ‘essential facility’ requirements, HVAC, electrical, life/safety, and IT systems replacements and a complete interior renovation were reported as $29M. Performing the same scope at a level of ‘non-essential’ facility was estimated at $27M, in 2025. Cost estimates should be revisited, in light of current market conditions. The upper end of the projected cost was for a replacement City Hall building as envisioned in the Civic Center Master Plan.
City Hall
Since the seismic issues following the 1986 renovation were discovered, numerous plans and master plans have been developed. Improvements to the building alone do not address the parking limitations. Options to rework civic center have been investigated and analyzed. City Hall renovation a significant project, both culturally and economically, that has stalled due to the ongoing debates on the appropriate magnitude and scope of the project.
Renovation Option: $30M + $5M parking
80 CC 04-02-2025

FY25-26 CIP proposal and 5-year Plan Page 7 of 40
Renovate the City Hall building within the existing footprint, using the existing structure and site plan. While the driving force of the scope will be the seismic upgrade, the development triggers accessibility (ADA) and infrastructure requirements.
Additionally, the interior layout of the space does not meet the needs of the workforce or the community. An interior renovation to create community meeting spaces and an updated workplace will be necessary. In this scenario, it is possible to consider adding a story within the confines of the existing footprint. This will have additional cost but will allow for more flexibility in programming the interior uses of the space.
The Civic Center regularly has a shortage of parking spaces due to the popularity of the Cupertino Library and events held at both the library and Community Hall. To increase the number of parking spaces, above-ground, below-ground, or off-site options would need to be considered in this scenario. A separate project could be generated that analyzes feasible options for parking.
• PROS: less time and effort in the design phase, less expensive for the building project (the overall cost, if considering the parking solutions, may be a significant additional cost).
• CONS: Building renovations are complicated projects with significant financial investment. Compromises in programming are made to work within the confines of the original enclosure. An additional parking area is not included within the building footprint and would require additional dedicated funding.
Replacement Option: up to $80M
Using the 2015 Civic Center Master Plan as the foundation, replace City Hall and portions of the Civic Center with a new building and integrated parking to better meet the needs of the community, providing more engaging community spaces and a more effective workplace for the City business.
• PROS: more effective spatial and economic solutions are possible, making City Hall and Civic Center a functional hub for the City. Adding underground parking would be a priority.
• CONS: A new building and parking structure may be as much as 2 times more expensive than a building renovation project without parking. The design of a new facility will typically require a lengthy and costly public engagement process in addition to the design and construction process.
If Council wishes to activate the City Hall project,
(a) additional funding for design and construction, and additional staffing would be required.
(b) direction on the scope of work would be required (renovation of the existing facility, renovation of the existing with an added story, renovation to essential services structural level.

The City Hall Annex property was purchased in 2021, and the renovation project for the facility was funded at $3M in FY21-22. The proximity of this property to the Civic Center, and its central location within the City, lends itself to numerous uses, including a satellite and/or interim City Hall facility. Council approved proceeding with the renovation of the facility to function as an interim facility for City staff while the City Hall building was under construction.
The program centered on providing workplace and transactional areas for the public-facing Permit Center and some Finance/Business transactions that bring the public to City Hall regularly. The Council approved adding the Emergency Operations Center to the program in late 2022, since the preliminary cost estimates reported that this upgrade of the scope would cost an additional $500,000.
When the EOC scope was added, staff made the decision to delay the request for additional project funding for the added scope until the project was ready to award a contract to a general contractor for construction so that more definitive costs would be discussed. However, when cost estimates on the 65% set of drawings and specifications came in at $6.7M in 2024, the decision was made to pause the project until the City Hall project direction was decided, so that priorities and cost-cutting measures could be evaluated in a fuller context. An updated scope of work, with value-engineering options, and cost estimate would be required to continue work on the project.
With the news of the inflated costs, numerous options were investigated, from scope reductions to a completely reduced program of ‘carpet-and-paint’ only, and other code required renovations such as accessible entries. The most reduced scope of work was estimated at $2M.
While developing the program for the City Hall Annex building as City’s Permit Center and EOC, staff identified additional cost impacts, including:
• Increase of construction costs due to the addition of the EOC program and infrastructure. The early estimate was that the addition of the EOC would add approximately $500,000 in construction costs.
• Increase of soft costs due to the addition of the EOC program. Cost estimate for soft costs is approximately $1.5M, leaving $1.5M for construction (which is less than required, see below).
• An overall increase in the original construction estimate excluding the addition of an EOC. Staff has learned that the original construction cost estimate for the overall project was too low. 2023 estimates for 2024 construction were estimated at $6.7M without moving/logistics cost, furniture, and other contingencies accounted for.
In order to move forward with the renovation of the City Hall Annex, Council must approve additional funding for the project. Staff is in the process of developing an updated cost estimate that includes options for Council’s consideration.

FY25-26 CIP proposal and 5-year Plan Page 9 of 40
Many options for the Stocklmeir property have also been pursued in the years since the property was purchased. Some residents have expressed their desire to make the property into a museum for 1930’s farm life. The Cupertino Historical Society (CHS) and Rotary Club have made proposals in the past to facilitate projects at the site, but for various reasons including funding concerns, nothing has moved forward. Improvements to the facilities are complicated by its location within a special flood hazard area, and many challenges to provide an accessible facility.
In order to move forward with a project at the Stocklmeir, Blesch and/or Blue Pheasant properties, Council should provide direction on the type of facility or project desired and allocate funding and additional staffing resources for the project.

FY25-26: The ADA Improvements project and FCA project are essentially ongoing projects, renewed annually. Addressing the most critical deficiencies identified in the 2022 FCA is a priority, especially life-safety systems. The current FCA projects, the Senior Center Fire Alarm system (FAS) upgrades, Quinlan Community Center Chiller replacements, and the flat roof replacements at QCC, Sports Center and Senior Center will be completed in FY25-26. If 83 CC 04-02-2025
83 of 321
FY25-26 CIP proposal and 5-year Plan Page 10 of 40
approved, the additional FY25-26 funding will be directed to FAS upgrades at five facilities noted in Table 2.
FY26-27: CIP will request additional funding to replace the FAS in the Cupertino Library building, and to complete the renovations to the Sports Center shower and locker rooms. In this fiscal year we may be able to coordinate these projects with infrastructure improvements at the Library to electrify the appliances, improve energy efficiency, and increase the resiliency of the facility to better serve the community as a cooling/heating center. Public Works (PW) staff is currently working with Santa Clara County Library District (SCCLD) and the Santa Clara County (SCC) to develop a program and technical requirements for this initiative.
FY26-27: When the CIP division successfully fills the two open positions currently under recruitment, work will resume on the Library Expansion project. The work at the Library is funded by a $1 million grant secured by Congressman Ro Khanna. Anticipated completion of the project is in 2027.
FY27-28 and onwards: addressing the highest priority projects in the FCA will be ongoing for both CIP and the Operations staff. More roof repairs are needed and FAS, HVAC systems, and other critical systems need improvements. The FCA project may help to address additional improvements to the various Recreation facilities (Sports Center, McClellan Ranch Preserve, Blackberry Farm, Senior Center, Quinlan Community Center) that could improve accessibility and infrastructure, advancing safety, functionality, and revenue-generating capacity of these facilities.
The CIP welcomes the opportunity to take on projects to renovate or replace City Hall and the City Hall Annex. These are significant investments, both financially and on staffing resources, that must be considered in conjunction with the overall City annual budget and financing options. If these projects do have the support of Council and the community, CIP will require an additional senior-level full-time employee (FTE) to manage those projects.

• The Jollyman Park All-Inclusive Playground is under construction and will be completed before summer 2025.
• Lawrence-Mitty Park and Trail is in the design phase. As part of the due diligence for this project, we are generating cost estimates based on the schematic design progress and will return to City Council for review before advancing the design process further. • The Park Amenity Improvements project continues to supply new benches, picnic tables, and other vital features to parks as required.
• The Annual Playground Replacement project will activate once CIP recruitments are successful. Varian Park, Little Rancho Park and Canyon Oak Park are targets for improvements.
B. FY25-26 Proposed Parks CIP Projects: none.
C. Evaluation of Parks CIP Projects to defund:
• The Jollyman AIPG is nearing completion.
• The Lawrence-Mitty Park and Trail project is in contract through to the end of design and documentation. The funding for the project comes from a developer agreement that would need to be revisited if defunding were to be considered. • The Park Amenity Improvements project could be defunded but has been a valuable resource to address needed improvements and community requests/concerns in our parks. • The Playground Replacement project could be defunded since we are not in-contract presently, but the need to replace our aging playgrounds persists as an ongoing safety concern. If not replaced, many playgrounds will need to be closed, at least in part. • The habitat monitoring at the McClellan Ranch Preserve west parking lot is a requirement of the project’s California Department of Fish and Wildlife permit.
The City does not recommend defunding any of these projects.

Conversion
FY25-26 This project aims to better serve the community by converting one of Blackberry Farm's four restrooms into a family restroom and pool changing area. Blackberry Farm is a popular pool and park facility, and is frequented by families with young children. As a result, there is a high demand for a family restroom and changing area. This project is a priority of the Parks and Recreation Department to address public requests.

Memorial Park
The City recently completed the Memorial Park Master Plan, which provides an extensive list of improvements to revitalize and update the park. The plan was assembled by collecting and incorporating public input through an extensive outreach campaign. That process produced a robust road map that will guide the City regarding park improvements for decades. Recently, staff has observed some concern from the public and City Council regarding the cost of the improvements proposed the plan and has heard suggestions regarding reduction of the plan’s scope. Due to the extensive public engagement and input received, it is recommended that the plan remain unchanged, and that projects within the plan be prioritized and scheduled as public sentiment and available funding dictates. At this time, due to fiscal constraints, staff is not proposing any projects for Memorial Park.
Blackberry Farm Golf Course
The irrigation system at Blackberry Farm has long exceeded its useful life cycle. The system is antiquated, is subject to multiple breaks yearly, and is not efficient in its water use for golf course landscaping. An irrigation replacement project is currently proposed for year 4 of the 5- year CIP and is anticipated to cost $1.6M. This project is anticipated to save the City approximately $65,000 annually in maintenance, repairs, and water use, and will improve water efficiency at this property. This project will safeguard against major failures that would be expensive to repair, would result in down time for the golf course operations (including lost revenue), and would help to protect against environmental impacts to Stevens Creek. The project has an approximate return on investment of 24-years, reduces water use, and safeguards both Stevens Creek and players’ ability to utilize the course.

FY25-26: Jollyman AIPG will be completed in 2025, and the Lawrence-Mitty Park and Trail project could be completed in 2027. We continue to work on replacing playgrounds with safety concerns and dispersing improved park amenities to locations with the greatest need. Work on the design, procurement, and installation of new equipment at playgrounds could resume in the Fall of 2025.
FY26-27 and FY27-28: Lawrence-Mitty Park and Trail project work will continue, and work on the Playgrounds replacements can resume. Park Amenities upgrades will continue.
FY28-29: Initiating the improvements to the irrigation system at the Blackberry Farm golf course is also a priority to improve efficient use of our water resources. Staffing prevents initiation of this project in years 1-3, but in year 4 this will be a recommended priority project.
FY29-30: Blackberry Farm golf course irrigation system improvements will continue into this fiscal year.
Providing Shade Structures at various park locations was a Council-stated priority in years past, and improving shade opportunities is a priority of the PRSMP. Current CIP staff can not initiate these projects in FY25-26, but the City will continue to pursue grant funding for these amenities. 91 CC 04-02-2025

• The BPMP project will be completed in the summer of 2025. • The engineering contract for the Stevens Creek Bridge project has been awarded, and the investigation into potential options will commence.
• The City will hire an engineering firm to assess the current conditions, provide design alternatives, and develop the necessary documentation and cost estimates. Once the documentation is prepared, the project will be considered "shovel-ready," increasing its chances of securing additional grant funding to complete the project. • Procurement for the City Lighting LED Improvements project is in progress, and installations will begin once the fixtures are delivered (Anticipated completion is September 2025).
Vai Avenue Outfall project is noted as completed and as an active project, due to the successful temporary repair of the outfall pipe section this fiscal year. However, the replacement of the outfall pipe section is not yet completed. Staff will coordinate permanent repairs through Valley Water as part of their CIP project to stabilize Regnart Creek in this reach. This will create efficiencies in permitting and ensure a repair that is compatible with Valley Water’s efforts.
B. FY25-26 Proposed Streets and Infrastructure CIP Projects The CIP FY25-26 proposal for new Streets and Infrastructure projects includes one project to repair three grade 5 (most significantly damaged) Storm Drain Outfalls identified in the 2024 report on the condition of the City’s storm drain outfalls.

2024 Outfall Report – Repair projects
The purpose of the 2024 Storm Drain Outfall Condition Assessment report was to inventory the storm drain assets and to determine necessary improvements and maintenance activities for the outfall pipes and structures. The City maintains 175 outfall pipe segments, totaling approximately 17,051 feet, within the storm drain network. The outfall pipes discharge urban rainfall runoff from the City’s storm drain system into various creeks/channels managed by the Santa Clara Valley Water District (Valley Water). The report documented observations of the condition of outfall pipes, along with their corresponding outfall structure, and nearest upstream structure. The primary assessment method for the pipeline segments and outfall structures consisted of closed circuit television (CCTV), visual examinations and documentation through photographs.
The report assessed 205 pipe segments across 175 sites. 31% show structural defects with significant defect grades (NASCO grades 4 and 5). 19% have significant defects that affect operations and maintenance. Most of the defective pipes were CMP outfall pipes that were installed consistent with Valley Water specifications for outfall pipes which were in place at the time of installation. Grade 3, 4, and 5 defects were common in pipelines that were constructed from corrugated metal pipe (CMP). This is due to the susceptibility of CMP to corrosion, which leads to holes developing in the pipes. Though not as common, several CMP pipelines also showed signs of deformation.
The report also assessed the condition of 117 outfall structures. Most of the structures were in good to moderate condition. Of the 117 outfalls structures three were in level 5 defective condition, and three were in level 4 defective condition. The City will coordinate with Valley Water to plan for the most efficient and cost-effective manner in repairing these outfall structures.
The FY25-26 Outfalls Repair project funding request is for $950,000 to repair outfall pipe segments that have significant defects.
C. Evaluation of Streets and Infrastructure CIP Projects to Defund The BPMP project will be complete in Summer 2025. The Stevens Creek Bridge and McClellan Road Bridge projects are largely funded by external grants, and address health and safety concerns. The LED Streetlight project is in-contract, will reduce our energy usage, and directly addresses dark-sky concerns.
The City does not recommend defunding any of the currently funded projects.

2018 Storm Drain Master Plan projects
The 2018 Storm Drain Master Plan (SDMP) established a prioritized capital improvement program to reduce the risk of flooding within the City of Cupertino. The basic objective of the report was to evaluate the flow capacity of the City’s storm drain network and recommend improvements to enhance storm drain capacity at key locations within the City. The first priority of the SDMP was Pumpkin Fiesta, Phases 1 and 2. The City completed Phase 1 improvements in 2023, which should mitigate flooding for an area the had experienced repeated storm drain overflows. Phase 2 is not currently scheduled due to funding resources.
Further, the Phase 1 improvements should help to mitigate some of the concerns that Phase 2 is intended to address. Staff will continue to monitor the City’s storm drain “hot spots” during rain events and will propose projects as necessary to respond to the City’s needs.
2020 Fiber Master Plan
The City has successfully owned and operated a limited fiber network for more than 10 years— and the network has created real value for the City. Specifically, the City has offset the cost of 96 CC 04-02-2025
96 of 321
FY25-26 CIP proposal and 5-year Plan Page 23 of 40
leased circuits in connecting buildings and traffic infrastructure. The network has also provided more capacity, at a higher level of reliability, than would commercial services. Having a dedicated fiber network provides many options for the City to address issues raised in the 2017 Cupertino Communications Risk Report prepared by the Cupertino Office of Emergency Services; concerns about communications resiliency for the City government and the public were also highlighted by the demonstrated vulnerability of commercial communications networks in recent public safety power shutoff (PSPS) events. The fiber network also provides the underpinning of future Smart City infrastructure and services under consideration by the City. The report has a number of recommendations for the fiber-optic network going forward, and one of those is to construct new City-owned and operated fiber to connect City facilities and expand the emergency network capabilities of the system in the process. Following this recommendation six projects were proposed in for FY23-24 but were postponed to allow the City time to seek grant funding to support the projects. Expanding the City’s Fiber network remains a priority and increases the effectiveness of all services that the City provides.
Regnart Road Investigation Report
The Regnart Road Investigation Report identified 6 priority sites that needed immediate attention. Over the last several years, 2 of the sites were fully address with the Regnart Road Improvement Project Phase 1. The City made various minor repairs and improvements along Regnart Road to offset the immediacy to respond to three other priority sites. Priority site 4 will be addressed with an upcoming Storm Drain Outfall project.

• The preliminary engineering for the Stevens Creek Bridge repair project has begun with the intent of establishing a scope for the repairs needed by the end of 2025. • The design of Tamien Innu East Segment is under review by the adjacent property owner and Valley Water.
School Walk Audit Implementation project
In FY16-17, Cupertino Safe Routes to School (SR2S) worked with each public school in Cupertino to develop a list of infrastructure improvements called the Walk Audit Report. The report details improvements that would make walking and biking safer, and drop-off and pick- up smoother. In FY19-20, SR2S worked with each school to update the list and categorize items into three tiers. Tier 1 and 2 items are almost complete, and the following Tier 3 items are currently being analyzed. Recommended work for these projects is anticipated to begin in the latter part of 2025. Exhibit A-1 has illustrations of the projects listed below.
Lincoln Elementary/ Monta Vista High School
1) Hyannisport Drive at Fort Baker Drive: - Reconstruct intersection to close slip lane onto Fort Baker Drive. Modify the northeast corner of the intersection by removing the right turn slip lane and reduce the corner radius for the right turning traffic to enhance the pedestrian safety.
Sedgwick Elementary
1) Phil Lane Drop-Off: Widen sidewalk on Phil Lane. The sidewalk along Phil Lane will be widened from 5 feet to approx. 12 to 13 feet, and this will involve relocation of curb including one drain inlet. Engineering, surveying, and staking work are required for the removal of four parking spots and modifications to two school driveways.
2) Tantau Ave/Barnhart Ave: Widen sidewalk on Tantau Avenue to match existing paint on street. The sidewalk along Tantau Ave will be widened from 5 feet to approx. 12 to 13 feet. This will require relocation of curb, engineering, surveying, staking work, and modifications/realignments of the high-visibility crosswalk on Barnhart Avenue to increase visibility (after widening sidewalk).
B. FY25 – 26 Proposed Transportation CIP Projects: none.
C. Evaluation of Transportation CIP Projects to Defund
• Stevens Creek Boulevard Class IV Bikeways is the top priority from the Bicycle Transportation plan, and a Tier One priority of the Pedestrian Transportation Plan – improving vehicular, bicyclist and pedestrian safety along one of Cupertino’s busiest arteries was considered a highly important project.

Active Transportation Plan
The Active Transportation Plan (ATP) will guide project prioritization for future bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure projects. Through an extensive, multiphase community outreach strategy, the ATP will develop capital project recommendations based on public input, safety needs, and mobility goals. While no specific projects are currently defined, the ATP, once adopted in 2026, will help determine which active transportation projects are selected for the CIP. This process ensures that future transportation investments align with community needs and City objectives.

building envelope, and explore available market
alternatives for electrification. This will provide the required details for the cost and timeline of each
facility's upgrade needs. Sustainability team is presently working with BayREN to analyze five facilities as a free service. Other facilities will require an engineering
consultant team to be engaged and can be funded with
CIP Prelim Planning & Design (420-99-047) funds.
~$30,000
Quinlan Community Center
Electrification
FY25-26 Quinlan Community Center has the highest gas
consumption (33.54% of the City’s overall gas usage)
and requires an engineered solution due to roof and
building space constraints, complex building envelope,
and energy efficiency considerations.
~$8M
Library Electrification &
Resiliency upgrades
FY25-26 As the second-highest gas user (22.59% of the City’s overall gas usage), the Library's electrification must be preceded by measures to reduce reliance on reheat
energy. The project will optimize the HVAC system
before replacing the HVAC and hot water boiler with an
electric alternative. Electrification may be best pursued alongside a Resiliency Upgrade to the building, to
facilitate use as the Community's Cooling and Heating
Center. This will probably include a photovoltaic system and battery back-up system. CIP is currently working
with SCCLD to develop a mutually beneficial scope of
work.

Proposed annual CIP funding that exceeds $2M/year will require additional funds beyond the $2M annual funding being allocated to the program. Where possible, staff will search for external funding to address funding requests in excess of $2M.
Despite facing challenges such as reduced staffing and scaled-back funding, CIP has continued to deliver projects. Currently, the program is operating with 2.25 full-time employees (FTEs) 112

managing a workload that exceeds the capacity of four FTEs. Recruitment efforts are underway to fill two vacant positions. The CIP team is currently focused on maximizing productivity despite resource constraints. Looking ahead, filling these open positions is essential to maintaining a sustainable and effective working environment.
In summary, the proposed FY 25-26 CIP includes ongoing funding for two existing facilities projects and funding for storm drain utility repairs. The projects proposed this year are a result of information from existing facility assessments, which show the need for extensive improvements and repairs to the City’s aging infrastructure. Due to the extensive nature of the work needed, staff envisions some of these projects becoming regular or even annual requests for the foreseeable future. The program has 28 existing projects that are a priority to close out.
This year, the proposal for new projects was driven by the need to implement health and safety- driven projects and was further impacted by limited staffing resources and $2M in funding.
The proposed five-year plan focuses on rehabilitating critical infrastructure that has aged beyond its life cycle. This is a common theme throughout America, and while the City has focused its rehabilitation efforts in recent years on revitalizing its pavement condition, the City must now shift some of this focus onto its buildings and storm drain system to address public health and safety issues.

Ongoing initiative to implement projects from the prioritized recommendations of the 2017/18 “Comprehensive Facility Condition and Use Assessment” and the “2022 Facility Condition Assessment” (FCA) reports.
The 2017/18 FCA report and the 2022 FCA report assessed the condition of nearly every City owned facility. Several projects were identified as high priority facilities with significant deficiencies that need to be addressed to avoid costly repairs and extended service interruptions. Six projects have been initiated: Senior Center Fire Alarm system (FAS) upgrade, Quinlan Community Center (QCC) AC Chiller replacements, Sports Center Locker and Shower rooms improvements, and the replacement of three flat roofs (Sports Center, QCC, and Senior Center). Other completed FCA projects include Sports Center Fire Control Center panel replacement and the Sports Center Seismic Retrofit. Projects planned for FY25-26 are the upgrades of five FAS at Monte Vista, Creekside Park Rec, Service Center and Sports Center. Library FAS and Sports Center Shower/Locker rooms projects are planned for FY26-27.
As older equipment is replaced with energy efficient equipment and as building systems are upgraded significant, savings are expected in both maintenance and energy costs.
Addressing the high-priority FCA projects is the highest priority, as these projects address health and safety concerns.
This initiative began in FY18-19 and received additional City funding in FY23-24. CDBG grant funds were received for work on the Senior Center property, in FY23-24 and FY24-25. 121

Projected Cost information
Program, plan and build facility improvements to facilitate short-term and long-term use[s] of the building. The scope of work will include programming, planning, design, and construction. Emergency Operations Center (EOC) program and requirements added to the scope of this project in late 2022.
The proximity of this property to the Civic Center, and its central location within the City, lends itself to numerous uses, including a satellite and/or interim City Hall facility.
When the EOC scope was added, staff made the decision to delay the request for additional project funding for the EOC until the project was ready to award a contract to a general contractor for construction so that more definitive costs would be discussed. However, when cost estimates on the 65% set of drawings and specifications came in at $6.7M in 2024, the decision was made to pause the project until the City Hall project direction was decided, so that priorities and cost-cutting measures could be evaluated in a fuller context. An updated scope of work, with value- engineering options, and cost estimate would be required to continue work on the project.
With the news of the inflated costs, numerous options were investigated, from scope reductions to a completely reduced program of carpet-and-paint only, and other code required renovations such as accessible entries. The most reduced scope of work was estimated at $2M.
While developing the program for the City Hall Annex building as Citys Permit Center and EOC, staff identified additional cost impacts, including:
• Increase of construction costs due to the addition of the EOC program and infrastructure. The early estimate was that the addition of the EOC would add approximately $500,000 in construction costs. • Increase of soft costs due to the addition of the EOC program. In October 2022, $101,700 was added to the Design professionals contract for this reason. Cost estimate for soft costs is approximately $1.5M, leaving $1.5M for construction (which is less than required, see below). • An overall increase in the original construction estimate excluding the addition of an EOC. Staff has learned that the original construction cost estimate for the overall project was too low. 2023 estimates for 2024 construction were estimated at $6.7M without moving/logistics cost, furniture, and other contingencies accounted for.
Operation Budget Impact: Once construction is complete, Facilities and Grounds divisions will need to add this facility to their workload, including maintenance and janitorial. 122

Program, plan and build facility improvements at the existing City Hall building site. The scope of work will include programming, planning, design, and construction. The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) moves to another facility, but this facility is planned as a Risk Category IV Essential Services facility as part of the structural system upgrades.
The existing building does not meet current or projected needs for workplace or meeting spaces; all infrastructure systems (structural HVAC, etc.) are well beyond their useful life and require full replacement.
In the first fiscal year, the design can be initiated. Construction is projected for future fiscal years, depending on the scope and Environmental Review requirements.
Renovations to the existing facility, or a new facility, are expected to improve operational efficiencies and ultimately reduce costs.
Improvements to the existing building, whether in the form of a renovation project or a new City Hall facility, are the highest priority for the health and safety of staff and the community.
Funding required for a renovated or new City Hall is greater than the CIP annual allocations. Alternative funding means are required.

Some of the areas in and around the Cupertino Library lack appeal and appropriate facilities for residents who use the library and the Civic Center space. Providing more usable and efficient infrastructure, as well as better landscaping, will improve the positive experience of visiting the library and Civic Center. Landscaping of the building perimeter and courtyard is designed, documented, and ready for a public bid process.
Additional scope under consideration (building electrification, extending electrical junctions to Library field, etc.) will require supplementary engineering and documentation. Staffing needs are deferring this work.
The expanded areas of landscaping may impact the operating budget slightly, but the improved irrigation will have a positive effect as well.
Update existing landscape areas adjacent to the Cupertino Library incorporating appropriate drought resistant plantings, pedestrian amenities including seating and shade structures, and other features to encourage community activation of the Civic Center. Grant funding awarded in 2024 can be applied to installation of a photovoltaic system, battery back-up, extension of an electrical service to Library Field, completing construction of exterior improvements such as the landscaping scope of work, parking and pedestrian improvements, improvements to the drainage and irrigation systems and water conservation efforts.
The grant funding must be expensed by 2030.
The Library Expansion project completed the building scope of work, except the courtyard renovations and exterior landscaping, in 2022. The federal grant facilitated by Ro Khannas office was awarded in 2024. The grant must be used for work that has not yet been completed.

Design and construct an all-inclusive playground at Jollyman Park, and a new adult-assistive bathroom facility adjacent to the All-Inclusive Play Area.
Community input secured during the Parks and Recreation System Master Plan process favors having an All-Inclusive play area in Cupertino. The new "All-Inclusive Playground" (AIPG) project is intended to serve the broad needs of the [inclusive] community The added bathroom facility can serve all ages who require mobility assistance and will vastly improve the usability of the new play area.
Anticipated construction completion date is June 2025.
Anticipated to be a slight impact to the Operating Budget due to the specialized nature of the play equipment and the addition of a bathroom facility. By accepting the grant, the City agreed to construct and maintain the playground for 20 years.
Santa Clara County All-inclusive Playground funding grant was secured in 2019 for $1,448,201. This requires $2,201,799 in matching funds and required fund-raising of $1M. CA Parks and Recreation department awarded a second grant in the amount of $1,000,000 as a Specified Grant program, which met the fund-raising requirement.
PG&E also donated $25,000. Art In-Lieu fees were used to design, procure, and install the “kaleidoscope” art feature, with a budget of $338,146. The Adult-Assistive Bathroom Facility scope was funded by Council in FY22-23 ($850K) and added to this project funding.

Design and Construct (with programming, public outreach and environmental studies) a neighborhood park located on several acres of land adjacent to Saratoga Creek, near the intersection of Lawrence Expressway and Mitty Way.
The City is under-served for neighborhood parks to meet the level of service goal of the Citys General Plan. The east side of the City is particularly under-served.
Land acquired in September 2020. Design process underway. Due to the extent of environmental permitting required, the project is expected to remain active until the Spring of 2027.
Adding a park to the inventory will have an impact on the operational budget. Public Works can evaluate more fully once the design is complete.
In FY18-19, Apple fees for their project development were applied to the purchase, annexation, and development of this park ($8,270,994). The purchase and annexation costs were approximately $2,330,085. In FY23-24, additional operational funds were secured to reduce the existing berms on site. The berms reduction can occur once the design is more established.
The design process is underway, after a conceptual design process with an enhanced public outreach component.
Adding this park is important for the residents on this side of the city. 127

The riparian mitigation site between the parking lot and Stevens Creek was planted in 2018 and replanted in 2023.
Performance Monitoring and reporting is required for five years, starting in 2023.
The McClellan Ranch West site was used informally for staff and overflow parking without a suitable, stable surface, and which is not available for use during wet weather due to mud. The opening of the Environmental Education Center in 2015 increased the parking demand at McClellan Ranch Preserve. The removal of the Simms house on the site allowed for the installation of the additional needed parking with a suitable parking surface.
The mitigation measure performance monitoring and reporting will continue until 2027.
Establishment of the native planting requires monitoring and irrigation that will decrease once the plantings mature.
After 2027, the operational impact will decrease.
This mitigation measure performance monitoring and reporting is required to continue to meet the requirements of the Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement (LSAA; Notification No. 1600-2018-0207-R3) issued by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) on December 14, 2018.This project received City funding in FY16-17, FY17-18 and FY18-19. The monies that remain fund the mitigation measure performance monitoring and reporting required by the LSAA permit. 129

Repairs to the bridge supports to include countermeasures to scouring (undermining) of the support bases.
The design of the existing bridge utilizes mat foundations for the bridge supports that have started to become undermined. This project will perform modifications to create a firm structural footing for the supports. The condition of the support foundations has been noted in recent biennial bridge inspection reports and the repairs are recommended by Caltrans. The repair work is funded by the FHWA Highway Bridge Program for 88.53% of the design and construction costs.
Engineering consultants have initialized the preliminary design phase of the project. Once the scope of work required is more defined, a projected schedule will be developed.
Construction of the project will not increase operating budget expenses.
Improving the safety of our City bridges is a leading priority. Grant funding has been secured which enables the project team to proceed with preliminary engineering. The engineering firm is in contract with the City. This will provide insight into final scope and costs.
FHWA funding was awarded for this project. Funding for the design phase is currently programmed in the FTIP for the 2023/24 FFY and construction funding is programmed for beyond 2025/26. Staff will continue to work with Caltrans to identify opportunities to make construction funds available sooner to minimize time from end of design to the start of construction.

Develop a strategy to transition the City’s streetlight infrastructure, and other City operated lights, from induction to LED fixtures to meet the Dark Sky requirements and reduce light pollution. Assess the costs, benefits, and opportunities of the proposed improvements.
In March 2021 the City ratified the "Dark Sky" night lighting requirements for private development. As City street lighting and other facility lighting may create unintended light pollution, and in some cases is nearing the end of its useful life, this study will evaluate lighting needs and compliance with dark sky requirements for the City’s nearly 3000 streetlights, various path lighting and exterior facility lighting.
Procurement is underway. The construction schedule is listed to be completed by December 2025.
There are no anticipated additional impacts to the Operating Budget by this work.
This project brings the City streetlights into compliance with the Dary Sky codes and reduces energy costs. It is a highly prioritized project for these reasons and because it is nearing completion. 133

Design and construct 6 bridges’ repairs as recommended in the Caltrans Bridge Report along with additional improvements to prolong the useful life of the bridges.
The City of Cupertino owns and maintains a total of eight vehicular bridges. Caltrans inspects these bridges and prepares a biennial report detailing the recommended repairs. Six of the eight bridges require rehabilitation; SCB over Stevens Creek has issues not covered by maintenance. The rehabilitation includes the required repairs as recommended in the Caltrans Bridge Report as well as additional work to prolong the life and use of the bridges.
Approximately 88% of the project costs are eligible for Federal reimbursement through FHWAs Bridge Preventive Maintenance Program (BPMP), which is administered by Caltrans.
Construction is anticipated to be complete in April 2025.
There are no anticipated impacts to the Operating Budget.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) grant funding begun as $571,151 and was increased since FY15-16 to be a total of $1,893,195. This grant will be a reimbursement and requires $245,284 in matching funds. 134

Design and install streetlights on an as needed basis, to infill lights and poles when requested by residents.
There are areas of the city where streetlight spacing is insufficient to meet current standards for illumination. Several locations are identified annually for infill with one or two lights. This annual appropriation allows these deficiencies to be readily addressed.Ongoing program.
This program uses staff time for the installation of these lights. Additional annual energy costs will be extremely minor.
Providing these services and fixtures for resident safety and welfare is important.
This initiative began in FY17-18 and has been funded annually for a total of $430,000 as of February 2025. Most years had allocations of $75,000 per year. This amount was reduced in recent years to be $35,000. No request for additional funds in FY25-26. This may move to become Streets division Special Project in FY26-27. 135

Investigate, design, and replace existing failing 36 corrugated metal pipe (CMP) storm drain line with new reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe.
In December 2023, the City was made aware of damage to this storm drain outfall. The City operates and maintains the storm drain facilities throughout Cupertino. The storm drain pipe in question has corroded, undermined the creek bank, and needs to be replaced before further erosion and property damage occurs.
The outfall was patched with a new section of CMP as a quick fix in October 2024. The repair should last one or two rainy seasons, then we can pursue full replacement of the CMP that has eroded. Site access is difficult and will require environmental permitting.
No ongoing operational impacts are expected.
Replacement of the pipe is necessary to ensure proper operation to protect public and private property and safety.
The initial repair used approximately $25,000. The proposed budget will enable design, construction, and environmental permitting of the CMP replacement. Storm Drain funds (210) will be used if available. 136

The 2024 Storm Drain Outfall Condition Assessment report assessed 205 pipe segments across 175 sites. Of the 117 outfalls three were in level 5 defective condition, and three were in level 4 defective condition. The FY25-26 funding requested will address the three outfalls that have the most severe damage and present as imminent failures. In following years, additional funding will be requested to address deficiencies noted in the report.
The three locations for FY25-26 are: #SWPP398 is an 48-inch diameter corrugated metal pipeline (CMP) near the vicinity of Whitney Way and Pacific Drive, #SWPP1546 is an 15-inch diameter corrugated metal pipeline (CMP) near the vicinity of Richwood Court and Miller Avenue, and #SWPP3360 is an 30-inch diameter corrugated metal pipeline (CMP) near the vicinity of Finch Avenue and Stevens Creek Boulevard. All three show sign of corrosion and need to be rehabilitated.
The Storm Drain Outfall Condition Assessment Project completed in 2024 identified multiple structural defects of existing storm drain pipelines that need to be rehabilitated. These defects pose a significant risk to the integrity of the storm drain system. Addressing the issues through timely rehabilitation is crucial to maintain the functionality of the system.It is estimated that the construction of these three outfall repairs can be completed within a year.
There are no operating budget impacts to completing this project.
This project will mitigate the defects to prevent further deterioration of the pipeline. The project is of high importance to address the risk of pipeline failure.
Funding source for this project will be from either General Fund or Stormwater Fund. No grant funds are available. 137

This project will construct infrastructure-related improvements around schools that were identified as part of the comprehensive School Walk Audit study. Traffic improvements will improve walkability and safety around 14 Cupertino schools: Lincoln ES, Monta Vista HS, Lawson MS, Sedgwick ES, Hyde MS, Garden Gate ES, Homestead HS, Collins ES, Faria ES, Stevens Creek ES, Regnart ES, Cupertino HS, Kennedy MS, Eaton ES.
A walk audit is an assessment of travel behaviors for drivers, bicyclists, pedestrians (both parents and students), developed by observing a school pick up or drop-off period on and around school grounds. Walk audits provide insight into the specific barriers to walking and biking at each school. The assessment team included Alta Planning + Design staff; City of Cupertino staff, nearby residents, and concerned parents. After the audit period completed, audit participants returned to discuss and document their findings on a large-scale school area map. Based on observations and input provided
by school staff, audit participants, and others, the project team developed walk audit reports.
Tier 1 and 2 items are almost complete, and three Tier 3 items are being initiated: Hyannisport Drive at Fort Baker Drive intersection reconstruction, Phil Lane Drop-Off sidewalk widening, and Tantau Ave/Barnhart Ave sidewalk widening. Its estimated that design and construction of the project will have a 3-year duration.There are no anticipated impacts to the Operating Budget.
The walk audit items identify barriers to walking and biking to school and recommend ways to improve safety and traffic conditions around local schools. Health and safety are the first priority.
In 2019, Apple, Inc. granted funds for the cost of implementing all the walk audit improvements in the City’s ROW. 147

The construction of electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) infrastructure at the Service Center is needed for the electrification of the Citys fleet in order to meet the Advanced Clean Fleet (ACF) regulation by California Air Resources Board (CARB). The scope of work follows the Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) report which identified the charging infrastructure needs to meet ACF regulation.
The SVCE systematic assessment of City fleet vehicles had the primary goals of identifying vehicle electrification opportunities, establishing an electrification timeline based on vehicle replacements and the Citys climate action goals and regulatory compliance, and determining the costs and emissions benefits of fleet electrification.
The design will be completed by the SVCE Consultant, Optony, Inc in Spring 2024. The City will need to coordinate with PG&E to obtain new electrical service which could take some time. It is currently anticipated that the project can begin construction in the latter half of 2025.
As EV infrastructure charging units are implemented, staff or contractor resources will be necessary for installation and maintenance of the units. It is difficult to determine the overall operation budget at this time. The maintenance of a Level 2 charger is estimated at $500 per station annually, and $3000 per station annually for Level 3 EVCS.
State regulations require the conversion of City fleet vehicles to electric vehicles, and the EVCS infrastructure is needed to address operations in response to those requirements.
Funding for construction of the infrastructure required for operation of the EVCS. Procurement and installation of units, ongoing operation of the facilities, as well as potential upgrades to electrical service, may require additional funding.

In 2023 PG&E announced a rate decrease for electricity generated by photovoltaic (PV) systems (NEM 3) but provided a window to allow grandfathering the more economically-attractive NEM 2.0 rates if interconnection applications were successfully submitted and corresponding systems operational by 2026. NEM 2.0 Interconnection Applications were successfully submitted to PG&E for five Cupertino facilities: Blackberry Farm, Civic Center, Library, Quinlan Community Center & Senior Center, and Sports Center. This project aims to design and build PV systems at three locations. Council reviewed and approved the conceptual designs for Community Hall, Quinlan Community Center and Sports Center in December 2024 before awarding the Design Build contract in February 2025.
The City must connect the proposed photovoltaic systems to the grid by 4/15/2026 in order to take advantage of the NEM 2.0 applications, which provides 75 80% greater compensation than NEM 3 rates for electricity that is fed back into the electrical system. The savings in utility costs are projected to be $290K annually, and $13.4M over a 30yr lifespan.Conceptual Design development and cost analysis completed in 2024. Design-Build: March 2025 to April 2026 Installation of the PV systems is projected to save $290K annually in utility costs. While additional maintenance will be required for the PV systems, additional staffing will not be required for ongoing operations and maintenance.
Installation of the PV systems is projected to provide substantial savings on utility costs, going forward. The use of cleaner energy sources is a CAP goal.
The proposed budget will enable design and construction of the systems. Inflation Reduction Act credits projected for this project are approximately $1.4M. Staff will also pursue other grant funding opportunities. 150

Operating Budget Impacts
Make improvements to the pools and facility related to safety, accessibility, and maintenance. The scope includes replastering the recreation and the slide pools, redirection of the existing deck drains to existing bioswale, and removing accessibility barriers within the pool house dressing rooms as identified in the 2015 ADA Transition Plan, the 2021 Site Accessibility Report and 2020 building permit application comments.
For multiple years, the two pools at Blackberry Farm have displayed all the signs that are indicative of the need to re- plaster a pool including mineral stains, peeling of the surface, and a rough surface area. The rough surface has been the cause of several injuries, including a worker’s compensation claim. The replastering of pools at Blackberry Farm was last performed in 2009. This maintenance scope, as well as the sanitary and accessibility corrections required by the 2020 permit application process for this scope, are required to continue operations of the aquatic facilities beyond the 2021 aquatic season.
Completed in Summer 2024.
There are no anticipated additional impacts to the Operating Budget. 153

Operating Budget Impacts
Restripe De Anza Blvd to include a painted buffered zone between the existing bike lane and the vehicle lanes.
Project is identified as the highest of the Tier 2 priority projects in the 2016 Bicycle Transportation Plan. Project will install a painted buffer area between the existing bike lane and the adjacent vehicle lane. This will require restriping De Anza Blvd to narrow the vehicle lanes to provide room for the painted buffer. Design will be done in-house, funding is for construction only.
Construction was completed in early 2025.
There are no anticipated impacts to the Operating Budget.
TDA3 grant was secured in FY24-25 for $166,259. The project budget was not increased, but the grant funding will be used to reduce the Citys expenses.

6. Implementation Strategy
This chapter presents a prioritized list of the individual infrastructure improvements, including the evaluation criteria and scoring method, project cost estimates, and a list of prioritized projects.
Project Evaluation Strategy
All of the proposed infrastructure projects are evaluated against the criteria described in
Table 6-1, which was
developed jointly with City staff and the Bicycle Pedestrian Commission. P rojects are sorted into short, mid, and long- term priority tiers based on a logical breakdown of scores and complexities of implementation. Appendix A to this Working Paper provides the full evaluation criteria breakdown.
The intent of evaluating projects is to create a prioritized list of projects for implementation. As projects are implemented, lower ranked projects move up the list. When implementing sections of the Bike Boulevard n etwork, the City should consider the removal of parallel existing bike routes where they prove to be duplicative or potentially confusing to bicyclists. This should also be coordinated with the
recommended Citywide Wayfinding Study.
The project list and individual projects to be included in this Plan are flexible concepts that serve as a guideline. The high - priority project list, and perhaps the overall project list, may change over time as a result of changing walking and bicycling patterns, land use patterns, implementation constraints and opportunities, and the development of other transportation improvements.

After scoring, projects were organized into three tiers. Tier 1 is comprised of the projects that received 67 points or more representing projects that should begin implementation
within five years . Tier 2 project s scored between 47 and 65 points and are intended to be implemented within five to 15 years. Tier 3 projects scored below 47 points and are intended for implementation within twenty years . It should be noted that projects in Tiers 2 & 3 can be initiated sooner, but that their implementation will likely be delayed.

introduction
There are a variety of opportunities for enhancing and
developing parks and facilities to achieve community
goals for Cupertino’s park and recreation system. This
document provides an overview of city park sites with a description, focus, short and longer term opportunities, and current and planned implementation efforts.
The key on the following page lists 22 types of community goals and icons which denote which goals are being
addressed at each park throughout the document. A page for each park or park category provides photos as well
as a brief description. The park focus identifies the park’s primary function. The implementation narrative provides context for current and planned site enhancement from
Fiscal Year 2019-20 through Fiscal Year 2023-24. For
recently built or recently renovated parks, near-term
opportunities emphasize sustaining existing uses and
maintaining the facilities with some opportunities for
diversifying recreation options. For older parks and
facilities that have not been recently updated, potential site enhancements usually include more extensive
opportunities.

MEMORIAL PARK
Description
Memorial Park was originally constructed in the early and mid 1970’s. Additional elements have been added since,
such as the Veterans Memorial in 2007. Memorial Park is the city’s largest park, with 22 acres (including the Senior and Quinlan Community centers). It offers 6 lighted tennis courts, a lighted baseball field, an outdoor amphitheater and stage, walking paths, reservable group picnicking,
two playgrounds, restrooms, and lawn areas. Memorial
Park hosts the city’s large outdoor events such as the
Cherry Blossom, Kids ‘N Fun, and Diwali festivals. The
amphitheater is home to annual Shakespeare in the Park, Summer Concert series, and Cinema at Sundown events.
FOCUS
Community hub and multi-use, civic-focused event space.
SITE ENHANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES

▪ Engage the public in developing a site master
plan for Memorial Park as a community
hub and multi-use, civic-focused event
space. Include the presence of the Quinlan
Community, Senior, and Sports centers in
planning Memorial Park as a community space.
▪ Consider repurposing the inactive pond,
renovating the amphitheater, adding
walking path improvements and playable
water feature, enhancing the tree canopy,
integrating natural features, and renovating,
adding and/or expanding recreation facilities
to enhance indoor and outdoor event space,
community gathering space, active/healthy
recreation uses and play opportunities.

improvements, pond re-purposing,
and other elements consistent with
the site master plan process.
Longer Term
▪ Phase in additional improvements, including
improvements to existing facilities, based on the
site master plan, and the addition of recreation
opportunities. Pending the site master plan,
this may potentially include major facilities
(such as an aquatic facility, gymnasium/
recreation center, senior center expansion
and/or a potential performing/fine arts center)
at this site, or as an expansion of an adjacent
recreation building that would affect this site
(Sports Center, Senior Center e.g.), as well
as the addition or repurposing of facilities.
