Requested Recommendation
1 Report to Council a cost comparison of leasing vs. buying office property in Cupertino for a lease length of time of 2 years (in the event that plans for remodel and retrofit are drawn up and executed, staff leases an unremodeled
building for 2 years and returns) or 7 years (in the event that a purchased office building requires $5M in remodel costs which takes one year to complete, and City Hall relocates to it for 6 years, sells the building in a flat office market and returns). Both of these scenarios would assume City Hall is remodeled at $27M.

Work Program, staff recommends

2 Draft a policy regarding disclosure to the public of
remodeling costs of buildings the Council is considering purchase of in open session. This policy would ensure that the public will not be surprised to find a negotiated
arrangement to provide a Council-designated property
negotiator more than the delegation of authority to negotiate the cost of the property (meaning Council shall not negotiate remodeling costs or process of determining remodeling
amounts in closed session).

Requested Recommendation
11 Muni Code Amendment to Section 11.24.130 for RV Parking “I would like to propose a minor modification to the Muni Code for parking to address the issue that a vehicle could occupy the same section of a public street 24x7 as long as they move the vehicle by 6 inches. This is against the original intent of the Muni Code 11.24.130. I have included relevant Muni Code sections from Mountain View and Sunnyvale, in addition to Cupertino's Muni Code below. We could
consider the two options:
- Mountain View's version: Any vehicle must be moved
at least one thousand (1000) feet (approximately two-
tenths (2/10) of a mile) from its current location and
may not return to the same parking spot for at least
twenty-four (24) hours after its departure.
- Sunnyvale's version: Pushing or moving a vehicle a
short distance will not be considered compliance with
this section. Additionally, successive acts of parking
shall be presumed to be a single act of parking within
the meaning of this section when the vehicle is moved
merely for the purpose of avoiding the parking
limitations prescribed by this section.
I hope that such minor modification could be considered in a timely manner.
