Renewed hostilities between the United States and Iran unsettled energy markets in July, even as domestic data painted a more encouraging picture of the economy. Crude prices retreated from their near-term peak after diplomatic overtures eased fears of a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz, though the conflict continues to fuel market volatility. Inflation cooled meaningfully in June after the recent run-up tied to tariffs and conflict-related uncertainty. Growth slowed from the first quarter’s pace, while hiring continued at a moderated clip. The Chandler team continues to expect the Federal Reserve to hold the federal funds rate steady through the remainder of 2026, provided actual and market-based measures of inflation remain contained.
The Federal Open Market Committee held the federal funds rate at 3.50% to 3.75% during its July 28 to 29 meeting, extending its policy pause into a fifth consecutive gathering. Three regional Reserve Bank presidents, Cleveland's Beth Hammack, Minneapolis's Neel Kashkari, and Dallas's Lorie Logan, dissented in favor of raising rates by a quarter point, citing inflation that has stayed above target for more than five years. Chair Kevin Warsh, in his second meeting leading the Committee, again declined to offer explicit forward guidance, preferring instead to let incoming data dictate the timing of any future move. The balance sheet runoff continued without modification. Officials next convene September 15 to 16.
Treasury yields advanced across the curve in July, with the two-year note ending the month at 4.29%, the five-year at 4.45%, and the tenyear at 4.74%. The two-year to ten-year spread narrowed to 45 basis points from 69 basis points at year end, while the three-month bill to ten-year spread widened to roughly 97 basis points. Because the two-year yield rose more than the ten-year yield over the year to date, the curve has flattened rather than steepened, a shift driven by growing expectations that the Federal Reserve may need to raise rates rather than cut before year end. The two-year to ten-year spread has averaged near 95 basis points since 2005, underscoring how compressed the relationship between short and long maturities remains relative to that longer run norm.

Nonfarm payrolls unexpectedly declined by 23,000 in July, challenging the view that the labor market was continuing to expand at a modest pace. Revisions to the prior two months further weakened the picture: May payroll growth was revised down to 63,000 from 129,000, erasing 66,000 jobs, while June was revised down to 20,000 from 57,000, a 37,000-job reduction. Together, the revisions reduced employment growth in May and June by 103,000 positions. By industry, local government education led July’s declines, shedding 50,000 jobs, followed by leisure and hospitality (-40,000) and retail trade (-19,000). Health care partially offset those losses, adding 22,000 jobs.
Meanwhile, the unemployment rate edged down to 4.1%, due in part to a modest decline in labor force participation.

Job openings totaled 7.359 million in June, according to the Labor Department’s Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS), while May’s figure was revised down to 7.537 million. Transportation, warehousing, and utilities posted the largest increase in openings (+97,000), followed by the federal government (+39,000). In contrast, openings declined in wholesale trade (-74,000) and nondurable-goods manufacturing (-55,000). The broadly stable levels of hiring, quits, and layoffs point to a labor market that is cooling gradually rather than deteriorating sharply, even as the July payroll report signaled unexpected weakness.

ENERGY MARKETS
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude settled at $84.67 a barrel at the end of July, while Brent finished at $90.12, with both benchmarks posting their strongest monthly gains since March: WTI rose 21% and Brent rose 24%. The advance reflected renewed hostilities between the United States and Iran, which intermittently disrupted tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a corridor that historically traffics roughly a fifth of global crude and natural gas supply. Prices retreated from their intramonth highs late in July as diplomatic overtures raised hopes for a durable ceasefire, though the stop-and-start nature of the conflict left a persistent risk premium embedded in oil markets. AAA’s national average for regular gasoline held at $4.09 a gallon to end July.

Inflation decelerated sharply in June, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) falling 0.4% on the month—its largest decline since the onset of the pandemic in 2020—and bringing the annual rate down to 3.5% from 4.2% in May. Core CPI (excluding food and energy) was flat on the month and rose 2.6% year over year, both coming in softer than expected after energy-driven pressures pushed inflation to a three-year high earlier in the quarter. The CPI report suggests at least a near-term reprieve in inflation. The Personal Consumption Expenditures Index (PCE), the Fed's preferred gauge, told a similar story: headline PCE fell 0.1% and decelerated to 3.7% annually, while core PCE rose 0.1% and cooled to 3.3% from a year earlier. Both measures remain well above the central bank's longstanding target, and officials have signaled they are unwilling to declare victory given how quickly the disinflationary trend could reverse if oil prices resume climbing.

Households grew less optimistic in July even as they kept spending; the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index retreated 1.4 points to 90.8, extending a downward trajectory that has persisted since late 2021 amid elevated grocery and fuel costs. Retail sales, by contrast, advanced 0.2% in June and 6.7% year over year, a fifth consecutive month of growth even as gas station receipts fell 5.3% alongside softer pump prices. The divergence between softening sentiment and resilient spending illustrates a familiar pattern this cycle, with consumers still opening their wallets despite voicing unease about the broader economy. A labor market that remains robust, even as hiring decelerates, appears to be underpinning this spending for now. 0 20

3 Month Average
Data from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago showed the National Activity Index (CFNAI) improving to -0.02 in June from -0.19 in May, while its smoother three-month moving average rose to -0.05. Both measures remain well above the -0.70 level that has historically preceded recessions, indicating the economy is still expanding, albeit below trend, rather than contracting. The Conference Board’s Leading Economic Index (LEI) painted a more cautious picture, falling 0.2% in June and erasing some of the gains seen earlier in the spring. Weak consumer expectations and a decline in building permits were the main drags, partly offset by the yield spread’s contribution.

Home price growth showed further signs of firming, as the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-City Composite rose 1.6% year over year in May, marking its second consecutive month of acceleration after an upwardly revised 1.2% increase in April. Housing starts also rebounded in June, rising to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.427 million, a 19% increase from an upwardly revised 1.199 million in May. The gain was driven primarily by multifamily construction, with starts surging more than 76% month over month to 532,000 units, while single-family starts edged down slightly to 895,000. Freddie Mac’s average 30-year fixed mortgage rate rose to 6.49% in late June from 6.44% in May, continuing to weigh on affordability for prospective buyers.

The Institute for Supply Management’s Manufacturing PMI rose to 55.6 in July, while the Services PMI registered 54.1, marking the seventh consecutive month in which both surveys signaled expansion. Readings above 50 indicate expansion, while those below 50 indicate contraction, leaving both headline indexes firmly in expansionary territory. However, elevated prices-paid components in both surveys indicate that input-cost pressures remain persistent, despite broader cooling in headline inflation measures.

Source: US Department of Commerce Source: US Department of Commerce Growth downshifted in the second quarter, with the U.S. economy expanding at a 1.5% annualized rate, decelerating from the first quarter's
2.1% pace and short of the 2.1% economists had anticipated, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis's advance estimate. Consumer spending and business investment contributed positively, while a pullback in government outlays and rising imports, which subtract from growth, weighed on the result. The deceleration reflects lingering tariff related cost pressures and the energy disruptions tied to the conflict in the Middle East. As this is the advance estimate, the Bureau of Economic Analysis will publish two additional revisions as more complete data arrives.

Federal Reserve Balance Sheet Assets
Recession
In $ millions
The Federal Reserve held its benchmark rate at 3.50% to 3.75% following the July 28 to 29 meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee, with minutes from the prior June gathering revealing officials had grown increasingly split over how much weight to place on tariff driven costs versus signs of labor market softening. Chair Kevin Warsh, sworn in earlier this year, has continued winding down forward guidance from post meeting communications, arguing markets should focus on incoming data rather than anticipated rhetoric. The balance sheet continued its gradual runoff without any announced change to the pace of reduction. Minutes also noted that the conflict in the Middle East has complicated officials' read on how persistent current inflation will prove.

US Treasury Yield Curve

Yield (%)
A positively sloped Treasury curve persisted across its full range through the end of July, with the three-month bill yielding roughly 3.76%, the two-year note 4.29%, the five-year 4.45%, and the ten-year note 4.74%. The gap between the three-month bill and the ten-year note widened to 97 basis points, while the more closely watched two-year-to-ten-year spread widened to 45 basis points after a 24 basis points intramonth low in June. That divergence suggests recent yield increases have been concentrated in the shorter and intermediate maturities rather than lifting the entire curve uniformly. The overall shape continues to imply that markets see a near-term recession as unlikely, even as uncertainty about the Federal Reserve’s next move has increased since the July meeting.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES
2026 Chandler Asset Management, Inc, An Independent Registered Investment Adviser.
Information contained herein is confidential. Prices are provided by ICE Data Services Inc (“IDS”), an independent pricing source. In the event IDS does not provide a price or if the price provided is not reflective of fair market value, Chandler will obtain pricing from an alternative approved third party pricing source in accordance with our written valuation policy and procedures. Our valuation procedures are also disclosed in Item 5 of our Form ADV Part 2A.
Performance results are presented gross-of-advisory fees and represent the client’s Total Return. The deduction of advisory fees lowers performance results. These results include the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Past performance may not be indicative of future results. Therefore, clients should not assume that future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy will be profitable or equal to past performance levels. All investment strategies have the potential for profit or loss. Economic factors, market conditions or changes in investment strategies, contributions or withdrawals may materially alter the performance and results of your portfolio.
Index returns assume reinvestment of all distributions. Historical performance results for investment indexes generally do not reflect the deduction of transaction and/or custodial charges or the deduction of an investment management fee, the incurrence of which would have the effect of decreasing historical performance results. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

ICE permits use of the ICE indices and related data on an “asis” basis; ICE, its affiliates and their respective third party suppliers disclaim any and all warranties and representations, express and/or implied, including any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose or use, including the indices, index data and any data included in, related to, or derived therefrom. Neither ICE data, its affiliates or their respective third party providers guarantee the quality, adequacy, accuracy, timeliness or completeness of the indices or the index data or any component thereof, and the indices and index data and all components thereof are provided on an “as is” basis and licensee’s use it at licensee’s own risk.

This report is provided for informational purposes only and should not be construed as a specific investment or legal advice. The information contained herein was obtained from sources believed to be reliable as of the date of publication, but may become outdated or superseded at any time without notice. Any opinions or views expressed are based on current market conditions and are subject to change. This report may contain forecasts and forward-looking statements which are inherently limited and should not be relied upon as indicator of future results. Past performance is not indicative of future results. This report is not intended to constitute an offer, solicitation, recommendation or advice regarding any securities or investment strategy and should not be regarded by recipients as a substitute for the exercise of their own judgment.
Fixed income investments are subject to interest, credit and market risk. Interest rate risk: the value of fixed income investments will decline as interest rates rise. Credit risk: the possibility that the borrower may not be able to repay interest and principal. Low rated bonds generally have to pay higher interest rates to attract investors willing to take on greater risk. Market risk: the bond market in general could decline due to economic conditions, especially during periods of rising interest rates.
Ratings information have been provided by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch through data feeds we believe to be reliable as of the date of this statement, however we cannot guarantee its accuracy.
Security level ratings for U.S. Agency issued mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) reflect the issuer rating because the securities themselves are not rated. The issuing U.S. Agency guarantees the full and timely payment of both principal and interest.
LGIP Yields: Reported yields for local government investment pools may be presented as either the 30-day yield or the monthly distribution yield, as applicable. For certain funds, the 30-day yield is calculated using reported daily yield data. Yield calculations are subject to change and may not be directly comparable across funds.
LAIF Yields: Additional Disclosure for CA Clients - As a result of a reporting lag from the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), reported LAIF yieldsrepresent the most recently available Daily Effective Yield and may reflect data from approximately 7–10 days prior to month-end. 35 69

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: September 1, 2026
Subject
Acceptance of Annual Evaluation Report on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Community Rating System’s (CRS) Program for Public Information.
Recommended Action
Adopt Resolution No. 26-XXX Accepting the Annual Evaluation Report for Fiscal Year 2026 (Year 5) of the 2021 Santa Clara County Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information.
Background
The Community Rating System (CRS) is a voluntary program under the FEMA National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) that allows communities to earn flood insurance premium discounts for their residents and businesses by conducting floodplain management activities that exceed NFIP minimum requirements. Communities earn CRS points for activities that promote flood risk reduction practices and encourage the purchase of flood insurance. Activities eligible for CRS points include, flood emergency preparedness planning, maintenance of elevation certificates and benchmarks, open space preservation within the designated floodplain, and public outreach and education of flood risk and flood insurance. The CRS class ratings are assigned to participating communities based on points earned, with each 500-point increment resulting in a better class rating. Each incremental improvement in class rating (CRS class ratings range from 10 to 1) qualifies residents and businesses within the participating community to an additional five percent discount on flood insurance premiums for properties located within a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). For example, 500 points earned would equate to a CRS class rating of 9 (or a five percent discount), 1,000 points earned would equate to a CRS class rating of 8 (or a 10 percent discount), etc.
FEMA requires the elected body of each community that participates in the CRS program to approve a five-year Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information (PPI) in order to receive points for the PPI CRS activity. The PPI allows communities to work together on messaging that helps to reduce flood risks and to design a collective outreach program that delivers these messages effectively and efficiently. The number of points earned as a result of having an approved PPI will vary depending on how extensive the program is implemented within each 78 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet

participating community’s jurisdiction; however, it is expected to range from 80 to 200 points for communities who participate in the Santa Clara County (County) PPI.
Although Valley Water is not a land-use agency, FEMA recognized Valley Water’s already robust public outreach efforts in flood risk reduction messages and approved the classification of Valley Water as a fictitious community within the CRS program. This unique arrangement not only allows Valley Water to act as the lead agency in creating the first PPI for the County but also allows the County communities participating in the CRS program to claim points earned by Valley Water. The Valley Water District Board adopted the first PPI in 2015 for use by communities within the County that participate in the CRS program.
The PPI is required to be updated every five years to evaluate the public outreach messaging and to adjust the PPI as needed, and FEMA requires the governing bodies of the participating CRS communities to approve the updated 2021 PPI in order to either begin or continue to earn points.
The Valley Water District Board approved the updated 2021 five-year PPI on April 27, 2021, and provided the document to participating jurisdictions for approval and implementation with the communities’ existing CRS programs. In turn, the Cupertino City Council adopted Resolution No. 21-073 approving the 2021 PPI on August 17, 2021.
In addition to updating the PPI every five years, FEMA requires an annual evaluation report describing PPI implementation efforts and requires the participating communities to share each annual report with their governing bodies to remain an active PPI participant and continue receiving PPI points. City Council adopted Resolution No. 22-088 accepting the Annual Evaluation Report for FY 22 (Year 1) on July 19, 2022, Resolution No. 23-090 accepting the Annual Evaluation Report for FY 23 (Year 2) on July 18, 2023, Resolution No. 24-076 accepting the Annual Evaluation Report for FY 24 (Year 3) on July 16, 2024, and Resolution No. 25-062 accepting the Annual Evaluation Report for FY 25 (Year 4) on July 15, 2025.
Reasons for Recommendation and Available Options
Valley Water initiated the preparation of the fifth annual evaluation report by hosting a meeting in May 2026 where staff and stakeholders from each participating community were invited to provide input on their respective PPI project accomplishments for this fiscal year. The Annual Evaluation Report for FY 26 (Year 5) of the 2021 County Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information (Attachment B) is the fifth and final annual evaluation report under the 2021 PPI and is a culmination of the input provided by the participating communities from the May 2026 meeting.
The City has participated in the CRS program since 2005. Following a comprehensive five-year review by FEMA in January 2025, the City improved its CRS rating from a Class 7 to a Class 6, in part due to the City’s participation in the PPI, which equates to a 20 percent flood insurance premium discount for properties located within a SFHA, and a 10 percent flood insurance premium discount for properties located outside a SFHA. City property owners pay approximately $65,000 per year in flood insurance premiums (as of August 2026, per the NFIP).
The total annual savings to policy holders attributable to the City’s CRS discount is approximately $13,100.
79 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet
83 of 266
Neighboring cities have earned similar CRS ratings (Los Altos – 7, Mountain View – 7, Sunnyvale – 7, Palo Alto – 6). The City’s current CRS Class 6 rating is comparable with neighboring jurisdictions and provides reasonable flood insurance premium discounts to Cupertino residents and businesses. Maintaining and improving CRS ratings requires ongoing participation in floodplain management, public outreach, and risk reduction activities. While additional CRS credit opportunities may exist, achieving a Class 5 rating would likely require significant new programmatic efforts and staffing resources beyond the City’s current CRS program. Staff will continue to evaluate opportunities to maintain and enhance the City’s CRS standing as costeffective measures become available.
The City was recently made aware of Valley Water’s decision to discontinue their role as the PPI host. Although the full ramifications of this decision are still unknown, the City could lose some or all of its points for this CRS activity which could result in the City’s CRS rating being returned to a Class 7. With the 2021 PPI sunsetting in FY 26, the participating PPI communities would need to consider leading or co-leading a multi-jurisdictional PPI, creating an individual City PPI, or moving forward without a PPI. On July 31, 2026, the City along with the various PPI communities sent a joint letter to Valley Water requesting they reconsider their decision so they can continue to provide support for the PPI to Cupertino and our neighboring cities (Attachment C). To date, staff have not received a response from Valley Water and will continue to monitor the situation.
The City continues to be an active PPI participant. The City’s FY 26 Project Accomplishments are listed starting on Page 12 of the Annual Evaluation Report (Attachment B). Staff recommends adopting the Draft Resolution accepting the Annual Evaluation Report for Fiscal Year 2026 (Year 5) of the 2021 Santa Clara County Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information (Attachment A). By adopting the resolution to accept the annual report, the City is meeting FEMA’s requirements to continue earning points for this CRS activity. Continued participation in the CRS program helps preserve flood insurance premium discounts for Cupertino residents and businesses while supporting ongoing public education and flood risk reduction efforts.

TO: Melanie Richardson, P.E.
Interim Chief Executive Officer
FROM: Rachael Gibson
Chief of External Affairs
SUBJECT: FY26 Annual Evaluation Report
(Year 5: July 2025 – June 2026) for the 2021
Santa Clara County Multi-Jurisdictional
Program for Public Information (PPI)
DATE: August 10, 2026
Valley Water continues to support local partners in the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's) National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS) program. The CRS is a voluntary incentive program that recognizes and encourages community floodplain management activities that exceed the minimum NFIP requirements.
Through the CRS, flood insurance holders in participating communities receive discounted premium rates to reflect the reduced flood risk. The three goals of the CRS are:
1. Reduce flood damage to insurable property,
2. Strengthen and support the insurance aspects of the NFIP, and
3. Encourage a comprehensive approach to floodplain management.
Background
Valley Water has supported the local CRS program since 1998. Since Valley Water is not a land-use agency (i.e., city, town, or county), it is not considered an NFIP community and does not technically qualify to participate in the CRS program.
Valley Water's flood risk reduction activities throughout Santa Clara County (county) earns CRS credits that are transferred to each CRS participating community, supporting savings on NFIP insurance policies within those jurisdictions. Currently, 11*1 of the 16 communities (cities,
towns, and the county) within Santa Clara County participate in the CRS program.
FEMA first introduced the Program for Public Information (PPI) as a CRS creditable activity in 2013. The PPI encourages CRS-participating communities to work with local stakeholders to design a community outreach program on flood risk reduction that best fits local needs. This can be done as a single or multi-jurisdictional effort. 2021 Santa Clara County Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information (PPI) On April 27, 2021, the Valley Water Board of Directors adopted the 2021 PPI following completion of the 2015 PPI; the governing bodies of the CRS participating communities adopted the 2021 PPI soon thereafter.
In addition to updating the PPI every five years, FEMA requires CRS communities seeking continued CRS credit to complete an Annual Evaluation Report on PPI efforts and share the report with their governing bodies. Attached is the final Annual Evaluation Report for Fiscal Year 26 (Year 5 of the 2021 PPI). Overall, the CRS Users Group/PPI Committee successfully implemented and completed the 2021 PPI in FY26.
Please direct questions about the PPI Annual Evaluation Report to Amy Fonseca, Acting Manager, Office of Civic Engagement at (408) 630-3005. *1 Current Participating CRS Communities include: Valley Water and the Cities of Cupertino, Gilroy, Los Altos, Milpitas, Morgan Hill, Mountain View, Palo Alto, San Jose, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale. 85 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet

I. INTRODUCTION
The Community Rating System (CRS) is a voluntary program of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The CRS program allows communities to earn flood insurance premium discounts for their residents and businesses by implementing local mitigation, floodplain management, and outreach activities that exceed the minimum NFIP requirements to reduce the risk of flooding.
In Santa Clara County, 11 (eleven) communities, including Santa Clara Valley Water District (Valley Water) have actively participated in the FEMA NFIP CRS for over 30 years.
The CRS participating communities (CRS communities) are City of Cupertino, City of Gilroy, City of Los Altos, City of Milpitas, City of Morgan Hill, City of Mountain View, City of Palo Alto, City of San Jose, City of Santa Clara, City of Sunnyvale, and the Santa Clara Valley Water District (Valley Water).
CRS communities, along with their external non-governmental stakeholders, non-CRS communities: City of Saratoga, Town of Los Altos Hills, Town of Los Gatos, and the County of Santa Clara who opted to join the 2021 Program for Public Information (PPI), comprised the 2021 PPI Committee. The original 2021 PPI Committee is listed in Table 1. Original Members of the Santa Clara County Multi-Jurisdictional 2021 PPI Committee of the 2021 PPI (Attachment 1). Since the development of the 2021 PPI, there may have been changes to the community’s original 2021 PPI Committee members (either the internal representatives to the organization and/or the external stakeholders). Those member changes are noted on the meeting attendance sheets.
CRS-creditable PPIs can be single or multi-jurisdictional. For the 2021 PPI, FEMA requires that each CRS community provide at least two representatives to the regional PPI Committee to meet the credit requirement, with at least half of the representatives from outside the local government. Additionally, at least half of the representatives must attend all the meetings of the regional PPI Committee.
An essential benefit of the PPI Committee’s work is close collaboration between local public agency staff who work on flood protection throughout Santa Clara County. Together, PPI Committee members continue strengthening their individual CRS programs and ensuring communities can evaluate their flood programs against a nationally recognized benchmark.
The 2021 PPI Committee, the remaining non-CRS communities (City of Saratoga, Town of Los Gatos, Town of Los Altos Hills, and the County of Santa Clara), and other interested parties make up the Santa Clara County CRS Users Group.
The Santa Clara County CRS Users Group collaborates to ensure floodplain management activities provide enhanced public safety, reduced damage to property and public infrastructure, and avoidance of economic disruption and loss in Santa Clara County. Through the five-year PPI development and the annual reporting process, members of the SC County CRS Users Group learn from one another about local floodplain management activities, including flood protection and land use issues.
Under the CRS program, flood insurance premium rates are discounted to reward CRS communities’ actions that meet the three goals of the CRS:
(1) reduce flood damage to insurable property.
(2) strengthen and support the insurance aspects of the NFIP; and (3) encourage a comprehensive approach to floodplain management. Flood insurance premiums for CRS communities are reduced in 5% increments for every 500 CRS points earned.
As of May 31, 2026, the total savings for Santa Clara County residents from CRS discounts are approximately $2 million.

Valley Water is the lead flood protection agency for Santa Clara County. Valley Water performs many flood preparedness outreach and stream stewardship/maintenance activities that can earn credit points for CRS communities. Since Valley Water is not a land-use agency, the points Valley Water earns as a “fictitious community” provide a foundation upon which the CRS communities can build. FEMA approved this unique arrangement with Valley Water in 1998.
The CRS Coordinator’s Manual, 2013 Edition, included the option to undertake a Program for Public Information (PPI), which standardizes our flood preparedness outreach messages and increases communities’ CRS points.
Each participant of the PPI Committee brings unique perspectives and suggestions that enhance the PPI. Each community must adopt the PPI through a formal vote by the community’s governing body.
In 2013, Valley Water helped initiate and facilitate the effort to develop the first Multi-Jurisdictional PPI, enabling all Santa Clara County CRS communities to work together and benefit from the effort. Non-CRS communities were also invited to participate in developing the PPI. This work effort resulted in the 2015 Multi-Jurisdiction PPI (2015 PPI).
On April 14, 2015, Valley Water’s Board adopted the 2015 PPI, which sunset in April 2020; the other CRS communities’ governing bodies adopted the 2015 PPI soon thereafter.
Under the CRS, a PPI must be updated every five years. Each subsequent year after adopting the PPI, the PPI Committee must submit an annual evaluation report to FEMA describing the PPI implementation for the prior fiscal year. The PPI Committee must evaluate whether the flood risk reduction messages in the PPI remain relevant and adjust the PPI as needed. The annual evaluation report is shared with each CRS community’s governing body as an informational item.
As required for CRS credit, annual evaluation reports for FY16 (Year 1 of the 2015 PPI) through FY19 (Year 4 of the 2015 PPI) were prepared, sent to each CRS community’s governing body, and included in each community’s respective annual recertifications or as part of a community’s documentation for those that were cycled on any given year.
In FY20 (Year 5 of the 2015 PPI), the PPI Committee updated the 2015 PPI, which had expired. The Insurance Services Office (ISO), FEMA’s CRS program management contractor, exempted the PPI Committee from submitting an annual evaluation report for FY20 (Year 5 of the 2015 PPI) as the committee focused on updating the document.
In February 2020, Valley Water hosted the start of the five-year PPI update process. Fifteen Santa Clara County communities worked together to update the 2015 PPI. These communities included the current 11 CRS communities as well as four non-CRS communities that expressed interest in joining the 2015 PPI and possibly the CRS program. Staff and external stakeholders from each agency participated in developing the new PPI.
In March 2020, the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak started. The California State Emergency Services Act, the Governor’s Emergency Declaration related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Governor’s Executive Order N-29-20, and Order of the County of Santa Clara Public Health Officer dated March 16, 2020, went into effect.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused far-reaching, unprecedented changes. Businesses and organizations faced economic and operational uncertainty across every industry and sector. The workforce impacts during COVID-19 caused delays beyond control, including the PPI Committee’s ability to continue its work of updating the 2015 PPI. Many communities shifted priorities to respond to the public health crisis; therefore, FEMA provided an extension of completing the update to the 2015 PPI to early 2021.
The 2021 PPI Committee reconvened in October 2020 to resume the 2015 PPI update. Several virtual meetings followed until the 2021 PPI Committee completed the 2021 PPI in April 2021. The 2021 PPI was adopted by CRS communities, as indicated in Table 1. Adoption Dates 2021 PPI. 2 of 57 89 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet

II. 2021 PPI DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Valley Water, CRS, and non-CRS communities initiated the 2021 PPI process in February 2020.
Discussions were postponed due to COVID-19; the process was reinitiated in October 2020. The Santa Clara County 2021 Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information document was completed in April 2021 (refer to Section I. Introduction for COVID-19-related delays).
Virtual meetings were held between 2020 and 2021 to develop the 2021 PPI. FEMA’s six priority topic messages and the three additional messages identified in the 2015 PPI carried forward into the 2021 PPI. The 2021 PPI Committee felt all nine topics and supporting messages were still relevant for reaching Santa Clara County residents and ensuring they were flood-ready.
The below listed is Table 3 in the 2021 PPI: CRS Priority Messages Topic

The 2021 PPI Committee worked between the meetings to draft the 2021 PPI and review the extensive list of outreach and flood response projects (Attachment 2). Based on the 2021 PPI Committee’s evaluation of the 2015 PPI, the consensus was that most of the 2015 PPI flood risk reduction messages were still relevant, so only minor edits were incorporated as needed. This became the basis for the 2021 PPI; therefore, no additional FEMA review was required, as the 2015 PPI already ensured its provisions were fully compliant with FEMA requirements.
FEMA's ISO CRS Specialist and Technical Reviewers determine how many CRS points the 2021 PPI activities earn. The PPI Committee estimates that of the possible 350 points for Activity 330, each CRS community could earn up to 300+/- points for PPI efforts.
Once Valley Water approved the 2021 PPI (5-Year Plan), the final document was provided to the 2021 PPI Committee to present to their governing bodies for adoption and implementation. 3 of 57 90

Total Approved 11 *Non-CRS communities are encouraged to participate in the ongoing efforts and initiatives of the Santa Clara County CRS Users Group and/or PPI Committee; however, those who opted to participate in the 2021 PPI are not required to adopt the PPI or share annual evaluation reports with their governing bodies.
III. ANNUAL EVALUATION REPORTS
The 2021 PPI states that the 2021 PPI Committee will meet at least once yearly to evaluate the PPI and incorporate any needed revisions. This meeting is coordinated in conjunction with the ongoing CRS User’s Group meetings, which occur at least twice a year.
The evaluation will cover the following:
Review of projects that were completed.
Evaluate progress toward outcomes.
Provide recommendations on projects that have not been completed.
Provide recommendations for new projects not previously identified.
Address any Target Audience changes; and
Assess the program's impact during an actual flood event if one has occurred.
The 2021 PPI Committee prepares the annual evaluation report for submission with each CRS community’s annual CRS recertification package (or scheduled 5-year cycle visits). The annual evaluation report is then shared with each CRS community governing body as an informational item.
As required, annual evaluation reports for FY22 (Year 1 of the 2021 PPI) through FY26 (Year 5 of the 2021 PPI) were prepared, sent to each CRS community’s governing body, and included in each community’s respective annual recertifications or as part of a community’s documentation for those that were cycled on any given year.
Section V. 2024 Santa Clara County CRS Users Group/PPI Committee Meetings – Monitoring and Evaluating the 2021 PPI of this annual evaluation report summarizes the meetings held to develop the FY26 Annual Evaluation Report (Year 5 of the 2021 PPI).

IV. 2021 PPI ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR FY26
The 2021 PPI Committee identified three efforts needed from each CRS community to prepare and finalize subsequent annual evaluation reports.
1. Governing bodies must adopt the 2021 PPI (Table 1. Adoption dates of the 2021 PPI). The 2021 PPI Committee must prepare an annual evaluation report and share it with its governing body as informational items (Table 2. How the 2021 PPI Annual Evaluation Report for FY26, Year 5 will be shared with the Community’s Governing Body).
2. For each fiscal year (July 1 - June 30), the communities must implement and monitor the outreach/flood response projects identified in Appendix A, CRS Creditable Outreach and Flood Response Projects by CRS Community of the 2021 PPI (Attachment 2). 3. The PPI Committee must review and consider the ‘New Initiatives’ identified in the 2021 PPI (page 66) for advancing flood risk reduction efforts.
Governing Bodies Approval: All 11 CRS communities’ governing bodies, including Valley Water, adopted the 2021 PPI. Each agency (Community) shows the approval dates in Table 1 noted above.
Tracking System: The 2021 PPI is multi-jurisdictional and includes 15 agencies (11 CRS communities and four non-CRS communities). Tracking implementation is quite complex compared to a single-agency PPI. As the informal lead agency, Valley Water oversees the record-keeping to ensure consistency throughout the county. An electronic file-sharing system, Egnyte, is set up with folders for each community to file and share documents related to the 109 potential outreach/flood response projects identified in the 2021 PPI and all CRS-related documentation. This also includes a comprehensive spreadsheet tracking which lists outreach projects accomplished in any given fiscal year by each community (Attachment 2). This spreadsheet, along with the annual evaluation report, will be submitted with annual CRS recertifications or as part of scheduled 5-year cycle visits.

ISO assigns credit for Valley Water outreach/flood response projects to all Santa Clara County CRS communities’ ratings. Some communities also choose to carry out and report on their own outreach/flood response projects, in addition to those of Valley Water. These projects are shown on the composite spreadsheet (Attachment 2 - Appendix A from 2021 SC County Multi-Jurisdictional PPI noting FY26 Project Accomplishments) and include input from each agency.
The PPI Committee discussed the benefits of using the Egnyte shared filing system for tracking the 2021 PPI outreach/flood response projects and all CRS-related documentation. The PPI Committee also discussed ensuring each agency regularly uploads its CRS documentation. These benefits are: - Information Share/Knowledge Transfer: CRS communities can view each other’s program documentation.
When a community improves its CRS rating, another community can access the documents submitted to determine how the CRS credited activities helped improve the score. - Document Repository: A central location for CRS-related documentation, organized to mirror the CRS Coordinator’s Manual (by community/activity/element), proves helpful when a community experiences staff turnover.
- Documentation Submittals: CRS documents are organized and easy to share with the CRS Specialists conducting cycle visits and/or annual recertification.
Summary of PPI Projects Accomplished in FY26
Attachment 2 of this annual evaluation report includes the complete outreach/flood response project list. It lists all projects proposed in the 2021 PPI, with a “Project Accomplishments” column noting actions taken during the fourth year, FY26 of the 2021 PPI.
Audiences Projects Accomplished
Community at Large (CAL) 81 potential projects, 64 accomplished Residents and Businesses in the Special Flood
Hazard Area (SFHA)
18 potential projects, 16 accomplished
Messengers to Other Target Audiences
(Organizations & Businesses Serving the
Community)
10 potential projects, 10 were accomplished
*Total Accomplished Projects 90 of 109
* Note: All projects carried out by CRS communities were accomplished in FY26. Variance in the number of potential projects versus accomplished projects is due to no updates from non-CRS communities, which is not required for this annual evaluation report.
These numbers go well beyond the minimum requirements of the CRS program for PPI credit under Activity 330. We anticipate all CRS communities will receive the maximum number of credits for our collective efforts in FY26.
Valley Water’s Outreach/Flood Response Projects
The 2021 PPI Committee identified each community's outreach/flood response projects. The implementation of these projects is reflected in the ‘FY26 (Year 5) of the 2021 PPI Project Accomplishments’ column of Attachment 2.
FY26 Annual Flood Awareness Campaign
Valley Water’s FY26 Flood Awareness Campaign (Attachment 3 for more details) effectively educated and engaged residents in Santa Clara County about the risks of flooding, emphasizing the importance of proactive preparation and access to vital safety resources. The campaign leveraged cutting-edge technologies like digital geo-targeting and multilingual outreach, blending traditional strategies with innovative solutions to connect with communities at risk of flooding.

Goals:
1. Awareness: Educate FEMA-designated Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) residents and businesses about their flood risks and mitigation strategies.
2. Preparedness: Empower residents to take preventative actions, including knowing their flood risk, signing up for emergency alerts, and knowing where to find free sandbags.
3. Access: Provide multilingual resources and technologies to connect diverse communities with flood safety information, including the innovative Valley Water’s Surface Water Data Portal. When extreme weather strikes, residents can know if their home is at risk of flooding by visiting alert.valleywater.org for the latest information on local creeks and reservoir water levels.
Refer to Attachment 3 for more details on Valley Water’s FY26 flood awareness campaign. CRS Community Outreach/Flood Response Projects Other Community Engagement Efforts
October 2025 officially kicked off the flood season.
On November 19, 2025, staff participated in a flood preparedness press conference held at Valley Water’s Emergency Operations Center site in San José. The press conference was a joint news event with the City of San José, the County of Santa Clara, and the National Weather Service. The event featured speakers from Valley Water and participating agencies, a tour of Valley Water’s Emergency Operations Center, and an emergency kit assembly table with flood-readiness materials.
Valley Water Education Outreach Program
Valley Water’s Education Outreach includes flood awareness messaging in classroom lessons presented yearround. A dedicated flood-focused lesson is offered from October through April. Valley Water’s role as a flood protection agency is introduced in all lessons so that participants in Education Outreach programs know that flood protection is one of Valley Water’s core objectives in Santa Clara County.
The following are the Education Outreach efforts from July 2025 - June 2026. 7 of 57 94

V. 2026 SANTA CLARA COUNTY CRS USERS GROUP/PPI COMMITTEE MEETINGS – MONITORING AND EVALUATING THE 2021 PPI
The FY26 Santa Clara County CRS Users Group/PPI Committee meeting was held on May 21,2026. Attendance by CRS communities was high. Staff from some non-CRS communities, external stakeholders, and other interested parties were also in attendance. Agendas, meeting notes, and attendance sheets for each meeting are included (Attachments 4-8). As required by CRS, the objective of the meeting was to monitor the implementation of the 2021 PPI, determine if the desired outcomes were achieved, and discuss whether any changes to the 2021 PPI were needed to complete this annual evaluation report. The PPI Committee agreed that the 2021 PPI messaging and projects would remain the same for the duration of the 2021 PPI, which sunsets in 2026. 9 of 57 96

VI. MESSAGING – Other Initiatives
The multi-jurisdictional PPI Committee identified several possible opportunities in the 2021 PPI to expand on existing initiatives and may consider initiating newer ones as follows:
1. Continue and expand the standardized flood message prepared for each community to include flood messages in utility bills yearly, including PG&E.
2. Expand on partnerships with local chambers of commerce to disseminate and share flood preparedness information.
3. Expand on outreach to the Asian and Latino communities who live in flood-prone areas.
4. Expand on outreach to ‘hot spots’/flood-prone areas by hosting on-site or virtual public events.
5. Expand the reach to local homeowners’ associations (HOA)s and apartment associations (i.e., Executive Council of Homeowners [ECHO]).
6. Expand the reach to residents in historically underserved and low-income communities through partnerships with organizations that serve these communities (i.e., Second Harvest Food Bank and others).
7. Communities could pursue FEMA Matching Funds Grants for severe Repetitive Loss Areas.
8. Review and expand other public information activities, such as Flood Protection Assistance (Activity 360) and Flood Insurance Promotion (Activity 370).
9. Develop a region-wide Flood Response Preparations (FRP) messaging plan.
The messages the PPI Committee originally chose are still relevant to Santa Clara County. The committee will continue to increase its efforts to encourage people to prepare personal/family emergency plans and be floodready for the duration of the 2021 PPI. The PPI Committee will also continue coordinating efforts with Valley Water’s Education Outreach Program to promote flood preparedness in local schools.
The PPI Committee recommends continuing to use social media for messaging for the duration of the 2021 PPI.
Mobile usage among individuals has increased exponentially over the years, and online platforms are rapidly adjusting to mobile-friendly standards. This provides an excellent opportunity to modernize campaign ad efforts by utilizing social media and digital advertising to increase exposure and reach more residents in Santa Clara County. Furthermore, these modern advertising methods allow for specialized demographic targeting to reach a narrow and defined audience, improving the ability to reach vulnerable populations effectively.
In support of our preparedness messaging, the PPI Committee continues to promote the importance of having family emergency plans and kits ready before an emergency/flood event occurs.
The PPI Committee continues to promote the American Red Cross All-Hazard App, which monitors alerts for severe weather, including floods, and the Floodsmart.gov and Ready.gov websites. The communities will distribute American Red Cross Emergency Contact Cards at events throughout the county.
VII. CONCLUSION
Overall, the CRS Users Group/PPI Committee successfully implemented the 2021 PPI in FY26. The 2021 PPI allowed PPI Committee members to mutually decide which flood risk reduction messages are most appropriate for our residents and to identify how to deliver them effectively. Participating in the 2021 PPI aims to enhance the effectiveness of the flood risk messages to residents, reduce flood risks within Santa Clara County, and earn valuable CRS credit points when identified outreach projects are implemented.
The CRS Users Group/PPI Committee will continue its outreach efforts through FY26. The 2021 PPI will sunset in FY26. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Attachments for submission to Valley Water Board, City Councils/Managers, and FEMA, as required:

Be Ready. Be Flood Safe." The outreach utilized digital geo-targeting technologies to effectively reach businesses and residents within the flood zone. The primary goals of the campaign were to raise awareness about flood risks, encourage residents to sign up for emergency alerts, and inform them on how to obtain sandbags. Additionally, the campaign highlighted our Surface Water Data Portal, where residents can access the latest information regarding local creek and reservoir levels. To enhance Valley Waters community outreach efforts, an educational paid advertising campaign was implemented. Polling results from the previous winter campaign informed this advertising initiative, allowing us to better understand our target audiences and their levels of awareness. The Flood Awareness Campaign ran for six months, from October 2025 to February 2026, at a total cost of $380,00. This campaign combined outdoor and digital geo-targeted advertising, supplemented by three direct multilingual mailings sent to approximately 48,154 homes and businesses located in or near high-risk flood areas, as designated by the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). See Attachment 3 of the FY26 Annual Evaluation Report for flood awareness campaign and post campaign survey details. Los Altos included an insert provided by Valley Water to all residents and businesses via a refuse collection bill insert in November 2022 (non-residential) and January 2023 (residential).

The press conference was a joint news event with the City of San José, the County of Santa Clara, and the National Weather Service. The event featured speakers from Valley Water and participating agencies, a sandbagging demonstration, and an emergency kit assembly table, which included flood readiness materials. (ALL OP #103) Other New Initiatives (as noted in the PPI document) 1. Continue and expand the standardized flood message prepared for each community to include flood messages in utility bills each year, including PG&E. 2. Expand on partnerships with local chambers of commerce to disseminate and share flood preparedness information. 3. Expand on outreach to the Asian and Latino communities who live in flood prone areas. 4. Expand on outreach to hot spot flood prone areas by hosting on-site or virtual events. 5. Expand on reaching local homeowners associations (HOA)s and apartment associations (i.e. Executive Council of Homeowners [ECHO]) 6. Expand on reaching residents in marginal and low-income communities through partnering with organizations that reach these communities. (i.e. Second Harvest Food Bank and others) 7. Communities could pursue FEMA Matching Funds Grants for severe Repetitive Loss Areas. 8.

As part of the update, the committee can discuss how best to word the initiatives to allow flexibility and creativity without being locked into specific commitments. These initiatives do not improve our Activity 330 scores since most communities are already maxed out on the activity.

Excerpt from 2025 CRS Coordinator’s Manual:
“Step 7: Implement, monitor, and evaluate the program. The Program for Public Information committee meets at least annually to monitor the implementation of the outreach projects. The committee assesses whether the desired outcomes were achieved and what, if anything, should be changed. This work is described in an evaluation report that is prepared each year, sent to the governing body, and included in the annual recertification.
The community must update its Program for Public Information at least every five years. This can be a new document or an addendum to the existing document that updates the needs assessment and all sections that should be changed based on evaluations of the projects.
The Program for Public Information update will be reviewed for CRS credit according to the Coordinator’s Manual currently in effect, not the version used when the community originally requested this credit. The update can qualify as the annual evaluation report for the year it was prepared. The updated Program for Public Information must be adopted following the same process as adoption of the original document.” ______________________________________________________________________________________ Activity 350 – Flood Protection Information, c. flood protection website (WEB) (page 350-7) The community must:
3) The community must check the website’s links at least monthly and fix those that are no longer accurate.
4) At least annually, the community must review the content to ensure it is still current and pertinent (e.g., make sure names, addresses, phone numbers, and other contact information are still correct; update any ordinance changes; etc.)

Santa Clara County CRS Users Group and PPI Committee
Meeting Minutes - May 21, 2026
Time: 2:00 p.m. Location: Zoom
1. Welcome and Introductions
Amy Fonseca opened the meeting. Representatives from Valley Water, Tetra Tech, and participating cities introduced themselves.
2. CRS Transition Update
Valley Water reported that full CRS regionalization is not feasible and plans to move from its fictitiouscommunity role to a partnership model.
Cities will manage their own CRS documentation, recertifications, and ISO/FEMA coordination.
Valley Water will continue regional flood outreach and provide supporting documentation for CRS credit.
Tetra Tech will provide community-specific assessments and transition support through December 2026, subject to available contract hours.
3. Future of the PPI
The committee discussed continuing the multi-jurisdictional PPI with a new lead, forming a smaller group, creating individual city PPIs, or retiring the PPI and using standard Activity 350 outreach credits.
No final decision was made. A continuing multi-jurisdictional PPI will require a lead community or shared coordinating group. The committee should select a direction in the next few months.
4. Activity 350 and Website Information
Valley Water will continue providing regional flood information. Each city remains responsible for local permitting, regulatory, elevation-certificate, and other community-specific website information. Tetra Tech will review additional credit opportunities with each community.
5. Decisions
No formal vote or final PPI decision was taken.
Communities will review individual CRS credit impacts before selecting a PPI option.
6. Action Items
All communities: Update the shared CRS contact roster as soon as possible.
Valley Water: Send the meeting recap and consultation instructions; confirm available Tetra Tech support hours.
Tetra Tech and each community: Schedule and complete individual CRS assessments between June and December 2026.
Each community: Confirm that Tetra Tech has current CRS records before its consultation.
PPI Committee: Select a PPI direction.
Interested communities: Identify a lead or shared coordinator if the multi-jurisdictional PPI continues.
7. Adjournment
The meeting adjourned at approximately 3:40 p.m.

Chief of Watersheds
Valley Water
5750 Almaden Expressway
San Jose, CA 95118-3686
Dear Mr. Hakes:
The purpose of this joint letter from the various Community Rating System (CRS) communities in Santa Clara County is to request that Valley Water reconsider its June 2026 decision to conclude its participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) CRS program and transition from its longstanding leadership role to that of a partner. Our understanding is that in addition to eliminating its CRS program, Valley Water will no longer administer and lead the Santa Clara County Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information (PPI).
First, we would like to share our appreciation and thank you for Valley Water’s role as a CRS community and for also leading the PPI for so many years. Valley Water has provided exceptional leadership, technical expertise, and regional coordination that have been instrumental in the success of the Santa Clara County CRS Users' Group.
As the only flood control district participating in the CRS in this capacity, Valley Water has established a unique and nationally recognized model for regional collaboration.
This leadership has helped local jurisdictions improve their CRS ratings, reduce flood risk, and deliver meaningful flood insurance premium savings to thousands of residents and businesses throughout Santa Clara County.
The collaborative framework that Valley Water has cultivated extends beyond administrative coordination. It has fostered consistency in floodplain management Subject: Request for Reconsideration of Valley Water’s Participation in the Federal Emergency Management Agency National Flood

practices, promoted the sharing of technical resources, strengthened relationships among participating agencies, and enhanced public outreach and education. These regional benefits are difficult to replicate without a central coordinating agency possessing Valley Water's expertise and countywide perspective.
As you can imagine, Valley Water’s recent announcement came as a significant surprise to the agencies participating in the CRS and PPI programs. Collectively, we believe this change will have an adverse impact on flood insurance premiums for property owners throughout the Santa Clara Valley and undermine the regional progress that has been made toward a more coordinated and effective approach to floodplain management.
We respectfully request that Valley Water reconsider its June 2026 decision to conclude its participation in CRS and PPI to allow for further discussion with participating jurisdictions and stakeholders.
Sincerely,
