- Considering the establishment of a budget subcommittee; and - Providing direction that Treasurer’s Reports and Investment Reports will be placed on the City Council agenda Consent Calendar for receipt, rather than as informational memoranda. This change has been implemented.

On April 27, 2026, the Audit Committee considered the additional items referred by the City Council. Following discussion, the Committee unanimously recommended retaining the three previously proposed Municipal Code amendments and maintaining the existing quarterly meeting schedule rather than increasing the number of regular meetings. The Committee also recommended utilizing the City's Internal Audit Work Program as an alternative means of providing additional financial and operational oversight.

Separately, as part of the City's recent departmental reorganization, the Department of Administrative Services was renamed the Department of Finance and the Director of Administrative Services was retitled Director of Finance. Section 2.88.110 of the Municipal Code currently references the Director of Administrative Services and is therefore proposed to be updated to reflect the current position title. This is an administrative update and does not change the duties or responsibilities established by Chapter 2.88.

Consistent with that direction, additional internal audit projects were subsequently considered by the Audit Committee at its July 27, 2026 meeting. The proposed Internal Audit Work Program, including the associated request for additional funding, will be presented separately to the City Council on September 15, 2026.

Analysis
The originally proposed amendments are intended to modernize the C ommittee’s scope and align it with evolving best practices in public sector financial oversight. Specifically:
- Name change: Renaming the C ommittee as the “Audit and Finance Committee” signals its role in both financial and audit-related oversight. - Section 2.88.100(g): Clarifying this section strengthens accountability around the City’s system of internal controls while maintaining existing oversight of internal audit reports.
- Section 2.88.100(i): Adding this new duty recognizes the increasing use of artificial intelligence tools in financial reporting, internal controls, risk management, and compliance, and ensures the committee remains equipped to evaluate emerging risks and opportunities.

In response to the City Council's October 7, 2025 direction, the Audit Committee reconsidered its meeting frequency and potential expansion of its financial oversight responsibilities. After discussion, the Committee unanimously recommended maintaining its existing quarterly meeting schedule and did not recommend establishing a budget subcommittee or expanding the Committee's direct involvement in the City's annual budget process.

Instead, the Committee recommended utilizing the City's Internal Audit Work Program to provide additional independent review of financial and operational areas. This approach maintains the Committee's oversight role while leveraging the expertise of Baker Tilly, the City's contracted internal auditor, to conduct targeted reviews identified through the annual work program.

At its July 27, 2026 meeting, the Audit Committee considered additional projects for inclusion in the Internal Audit Work Program. The proposed work program and related funding request will be presented separately to the City Council on September 15, 2026.

Next Steps
If the proposed Municipal Code amendments are introduced, staff will return to the City Council
for second reading and adoption of the ordinance. Separately, the Audit Committee's recommended Internal Audit Work Program and associated funding request will be presented to the City Council on September 15, 2026.

Receipt of Grants Management Internal Controls Review Final Report Recommended Action
Receive the Grants Management Internal Controls Review Final Report Background
The City of Cupertino’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 Internal Audit Program recommended a project to assess internal controls over the City’s grants management activities, including compliance with policies, procedures and best practices. The City’s internal auditor, Baker Tilly conducted a review between June and October 2025 and tested procedures in FY 2025-26. The Finance Department provided feedback on the initial report in March and July 2026. The final Grants Management Internal Controls Review R eport (Attachment A) was received in July 2026 and presented to the Audit Committee on July 28, 2026, resulting in a recommendation for the City Council to accept the final report.

Reasons for Recommendation and Available Options
Citywide s taff, including management and Finance , participated in a thorough grants management review conducted by Baker Tilly. Combined with the management responses in 2026, this resulted in a detailed final report that guides opportunities for enhancing the City’s grants management policies, procedures and implementation of best practices. Enhancing grants management systems builds opportunities for revenue increase and reduces risk due to errors.

As discussed at the July Audit Committee meeting and noted in the final Grants Management Internal Controls Review report (“report”), the City resolved some recommendations following the testing period through changes to personnel, policy, and procedures, including hiring a Grants Analyst in December 2025.

The report commends the City on several well-designed internal controls including:
• Executive oversight and approval for grant applications • Record retention that indicates audit readiness
• Segregation of duties in invoice processes, reducing risk of errors • Hand-offs designed to reduce risk associated with staff transitions 243
CC 09-15-26 Searchable Packet

Key recommendations from the report for the coming 6 to 18 months are also identified with the City’s current progress and planned actions towards resolution:
• Develop and implement standardized grants management policies and procedures and continuity plans. Standardize grant documentation and recordkeeping. o Standardized citywide grants management procedures are in development with an anticipated release in Fall 2026. This includes delineated roles, standardized documentation and procedures for the full grants lifecycle. • Centralize grant opportunity identification and monitoring o Primarily led by the Grant Analyst and continued grant identification through department staff
• Enhance grant tracking and documentation practices
o Grant tracking procedures are in development, with the possibility of advancements through the City’s upcoming Tyler Technologies Enterprise Resource Planning system with planned go-live in Fall 2027 • Implement structured grant management training
o Training under development with an anticipated rollout in Fall 2026 • Formalize grant application and approval workflow
o The Council Grants Policy was updated in May 2026, governing approval of application, acceptance and reporting of grants
• Establish consistent internal review and approval processes for grant reporting o Staff are establishing standardized citywide grants management procedures • Strengthen subrecipient monitoring and documentation
o The City imple mented a solution for data management support including data storage and compliance documentation for subrecipients that will be utilized by the Housing Division.

By accepting the report, C ouncil will allow staff to use the recommendations as a guide for ensuring robust grants management systems that reduce risks for the City and align with departmental needs.

Grants Management Internal Controls Review Report | 1

FOR INTERNAL USE OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO ONLY

I. Executive Summary
The City of Cupertino (the City) contracted Baker Tilly to assess the internal controls over the City’s grants management activities for compliance with policies and procedures and best practices. This included reviewing the application, review, administration, and reporting processes as well as assessing the overall adequacy of the grants management function. The internal controls review took place between June and October 2025.

As of June 30, 2024, the City's operating grants and contributions constituted approximately 25% of its total program revenues, or $8,350,734 out of $34,401,318. Grants management typically encompasses processes such as grant application and award administration, compliance monitoring, expenditure tracking, documentation and recordkeeping, and financial reporting. These processes are essential to ensure that grant funds are used in accordance with grantor requirements and applicable regulations. Effective internal controls over grants management are critical for safeguarding grant resources, maintaining accurate financial records, and supporting the integrity of the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). Implementing comprehensive controls helps mitigate risks of misstatement, noncompliance, and misappropriation of funds, ultimately enhancing the City’s financial accountability and transparency to stakeholders.

The City currently employs a primarily decentralized approach to grants management, where individual programs and departments are responsible for the end-to-end management of their respective grants. This includes administering grant application and award, monitoring compliance, tracking and approving expenditures, preparing and submitting required reports, and maintaining documentation in accordance with grantor requirements and applicable regulations. The Finance Department provides centralized financial support by tracking grant revenues and budgets within the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and producing budget-to-actual reports to assist departments in financial oversight. While many departments maintain organized electronic folders and utilize spreadsheets for grant tracking, these practices vary and are not fully standardized or integrated across the City.

Recognizing opportunities to strengthen internal controls and improve consistency, the City is planning to hire a Grants Management Analyst to formalize and centralize key aspects of the grants management function. This role is expected to support standardized grant opportunity identification and monitoring, enhance documentation and recordkeeping practices, enforce segregation of duties, and coordinate training programs.

The review of internal controls was completed in accordance with Standards for Consulting Services established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). As such, this work was not an audit of internal controls that resulted in a formal opinion or other form of assurance.

Specific areas where controls were reviewed included:
• Grant Application and Award Approval
• Compliance Monitoring and Reporting
• Expenditure Authorization and Tracking
• Documentation and Recordkeeping

• Financial Reporting and Reconciliation
• Overall Grants Management Control Environment
Specific departments where controls were reviewed included the Finance, Public Works, and Housing Division departments. These departments were selected for review due to their critical roles in the City’s grants management environment. Finance is responsible for supporting accounting, financial reporting, and budget monitoring for all City grants, providing centralized financial oversight. Public Works and the Housing Division were selected because they receive and administer a substantial portion of the City’s overall grant funding, making their grant management practices particularly impactful on the City’s financial accountability and compliance.

The City appeared to have internal controls developed for many grants management functions and was in the process of implementing additional internal controls in this area. Per interviews, the planned hiring of the Grants Management Analyst is to help formalize the grants management function and to assist in implementing these additional internal controls. Based on the review performed, the following are examples of commendable activities that appeared to have well-designed internal controls:
• The City requires City Manager approval for grant applications, supporting executive oversight. • Departments seemed to maintain organized electronic folders for grant documentation, aiding record retention and audit readiness.
• Finance tracks grant revenues and budgets within the ERP system, facilitating centralized financial management.
• Project managers are generally responsible for monitoring grant expenditures and compliance, providing operational accountability.
• A quarterly grants tracking spreadsheet is maintained and reviewed to monitor statuses and deadlines, supporting timely reporting.
• Segregation of duties appeared to be practiced in invoice review and approval, reducing risk of errors or unauthorized transactions.
• Recruitment of a Grants Management Analyst appeared aimed at centralizing oversight and enhancing internal controls.
• The City’s grant reimbursement packets undergo multiple levels of review before submission, supporting accuracy.
• Training resources from federal agencies appeared to be utilized to educate staff on grant compliance requirements.
• Departments appeared to prepare handoff lists to mitigate risks associated with staff turnover.

Similar to many other cities, there is an opportunity to strengthen controls, policies and procedures, and documentation. While our review identified gaps in internal controls of varying degrees across the departments reviewed, it is important to acknowledge that the City appeared to have internal controls developed for many functions. However, enhancing the documentation of these controls will strengthen this foundation and promote greater consistency and effectiveness in operations.

Suggested priorities to address over the next six to 18 months include, but are not limited to:

II. Scope and Methodology
The scope of our grants management internal controls review included an evaluation of the City’s key grants management internal controls, to determine the general adequacy of internal controls and identify areas warranting more in-depth review in the future. Our review included the following functional areas:
• Grant Application and Award Approval
• Compliance Monitoring and Reporting
• Expenditure Authorization and Tracking
• Documentation and Recordkeeping
• Financial Reporting and Reconciliation
• Overall Grants Management Control Environment
For each functional area assessed, we conducted a review of key controls which included:
• Identifying control objectives in specific areas and controls that would satisfy each objective • Reviewing policies and procedures
• Examining relevant documentation in support of select key controls • Performing control walkthroughs to observe the design of key controls and understand workflow processes
• Obtaining an understanding of the characteristics of each relevant control activity, including who performs it, how often it is designed to operate, whether it is designed to mitigate fraud, whether it is a manual or programmed (automated) control, and whether it is a preventive, detective, or corrective control
• Assessing whether the controls in place would prevent or detect errors • Providing recommendations on key controls that need to be implemented or changed The work performed included interviews with employees involved in managing functions and processing key transactions in the following departments:
• Finance
• Public Works
• Housing Division
In addition to the interviews conducted, the following procedures performed to assess compliance with controls and policies related to grants management:
• A sample of nine grants received by the City and five subrecipient grants awarded by the City, were assessed for adherence to select applicable control and policy requirements • The sample of nine grants received was evaluated for proper application procedures, documentation, expenditure tracking, and compliance with select established grant management controls and policies
• The sample of five subrecipient grants was assessed for proper authorization and monitoring 251

In support of the internal controls review, the matrix in Section III provides results and includes:
• Control objectives
• Control issues
• Corresponding recommendations
• Likelihood of occurrence
• Impact of occurrence
“Likelihood of occurrence” is defined as the probability of a negative event occurring. “Impact of occurrence” is defined as the level of significance if a negative event occurs. Risk levels of low, moderate, or high were used to rate the likelihood and impact of occurrence for each control issue.

Beyond the controls noted within this report as an issue, additional controls were reviewed without exception. It should be noted that many controls were reviewed multiple times in relevant, separate department reviews, but not all controls or departments were reviewed. The departments selected provide a broad understanding of the City’s grants management control environment. Key controls with exception conditions are reported in this document. 252

large federal infrastructure
grant, a small community
funding grant, or any other
type of grant with varying
requirements and funding
levels, it follows
standardized policies and
procedures to ensure
effective oversight,
compliance, and
accountability.

The City currently lacks formal,
City-wide grants management
policies and procedures (P&Ps).

As a result, departments with low
grant volume or specialized
grants, such as Planning and
Information Technology (IT), rely
heavily on informal practices and
individual knowledge. This
increases continuity risks during
staff absences or transitions.

While larger departments may
have more established practices,
the absence of City-wide P&Ps
disproportionately affects smaller
departments, highlighting the
need for both City-wide policies
and tailored departmental
procedures to ensure consistent
and resilient grants
management.

The City should develop and implement
standardized, City-wide grant management
policies and procedures to provide a
consistent framework for all departments.

While some departments currently manage
grants more frequently, their department-
specific procedures are not formally
documented and should be formalized to
ensure consistency and accountability.

Additionally, departments with limited grant
activity, such as Planning and IT, should
create tailored procedures that clearly
define roles, responsibilities, and specific
processes for grant application, monitoring,
and reporting to ensure compliance with
City-wide policies and reduce reliance on
individual knowledge.

All departments should also establish
formal grant management continuity plans
that include comprehensive documentation,
cross-training, and periodic knowledge
transfer sessions. This approach will help
ensure seamless continuation of grant
management activities during staff
absences or transitions, reducing
operational risks and enhancing

Segregation of duties appears to
vary by department and grant
type; smaller grants or
community funding appear to
often be managed entirely by
one individual, increasing the
risk of errors or misappropriation.

The City should require that all
departments that manage grants
adequately segregate duties. Multiple
individuals should participate in critical
grant management activities such as
application approval, expenditure
authorization, and reporting. In cases
where staffing is limited, compensating
controls such as periodic supervisory
reviews or independent reconciliations,
should be implemented.

Management Response to Housing/Community Development Block Grant Control Issues and Recommendations The identified controls were in place and operating at the time of the audit. The Senior Housing Coordinator is responsible for the initial review and approval of invoices, while the Finance Division performs the secondary review and final approval. Accordingly, invoices that have completed the full approval process are maintained by the Finance Division rather than by the Housing division/Community Development Department. As a result, the initial audit testing, which was conducted using records maintained at the Senior Housing Coordinator level, did not reflect the complete approval process or the full extent of the established internal controls.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: September 15, 2026
Subject
Adoption of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) City Council Policy

Recommended Action
Adopt Resolution No. 26-___ adopting the Artificial Intelligence (AI) City Council Policy.

Background
On November 1, 2024, the City Manager approved an administrative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy establishing governance and user guidelines for the responsible use of AI systems across City operations. This policy applies to elected and appointed officials, employees, interns, volunteers, and other individuals acting on behalf of the City who purchase, configure, develop, operate, support, maintain, or use AI systems for City business. Contractors and consultants must comply with this policy as its requirements are incorporated into the City’s contracting templates and applicable agreements.

The policy has been updated and reformatted from an administrative policy into the City's standard City Council Policy format. This change establishes Council-level policy direction for AI governance while retaining administrative responsibility for implementation, oversight, and enforcement. The core intent and operational requirements of the policy remain largely unchanged. The draft resolution adopting the Artificial Intelligence (AI) City Council Policy is included as Attachment A.

Reasons for Recommendation and Available Options
The revised Council Policy makes the following governance and formatting updates:
• Council Oversight and Governance: The policy explicitly states that the City Council establishes the policy framework governing the City's use of AI. The City Manager and Innovation & Technology Department remain responsible for implementation, administration, and enforcement.
• Formal Adoption Structure: The policy has been converted into the City's standard Council Policy format and includes provisions for formal adoption by the City Council through resolution.
• Clarification of Roles and Responsibilities: Governance language has been refined to distinguish the Council's policy-setting role from the administrative implementation and 263
CC 09-15-26 Searchable Packet
267 of 456
oversight responsibilities of the City Manager, Innovation & Technology Department, Chief Technology Officer, department heads, and other designated staff.

The policy continues to address responsible AI use; guiding principles for effectiveness, transparency, equity, accountability, human-centered design, privacy, security, and safety; risk and technical review requirements; acceptable and prohibited uses; pr ocurement and vendor review; human oversight; records management; incident response; sunset procedures; and accountability for City staff and contractors.

The City Council may adopt the policy as presented, direct staff to make specific revisions before adoption, or take no action. If the Council takes no action, the existing administrative policy structure would remain in effect, and the proposed Council-level governance framework would not be formally adopted. Staff recommends adoption to provide clear Council direction and a durable governance framework for the City's responsible use of emerging technologies.

Page 2 of 10 ends

The City’s AI systems and the data contained therein will be purchased, configured, developed, operated, and maintained as defined in this policy .

Scope
As directed by the City Manager, the I&T Department provides management and oversight for all activities directly related to information technology and information security for the City. Under this authority, the C TO and his/her designee(s) are responsible for enforcing information technology related policies and standards. As such, this policy is applicable to all users.

Policy
The City supports and promotes the use of all Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems deployed or used by the City of Cupertino. The Al systems may be freeware, automatically installed, included in software used by the City, or directly purchased and deployed for City use. The Innovation & Technology (I&T) Department will be the lead in conducting the procurement and technical review of AI systems. The IT Department will consult with any impacted customer departments, risk management, purchasing, City Attorney' s Office and the City Manager's Office to determine if an Al system should be cautioned against or blocked from use due to risks to the public, staff or City. This policy applies to all Al users ( This policy applies to elected officials, appointed officials, City employees, interns, volunteers, contractors, consultants, and any individual acting on behalf of the City ), who may be purchasing, configuring, developing, operating, supporting, or maintaining the City of Cupertino's Al systems or who may be leveraging AI systems in their work or to provide services to the City of Cupertino.

Definitions

Algorithm: A series of logical steps through which an agent (typically a computer or software program) turns particular inputs into particular outputs. AI algorithms learn from training data to generate models.

Artificial Intelligence (AI): “Artificial intelligence” or “AI” is a machine-based system that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing real or virtual environments 1. AI systems use machine- and human-based inputs to perceive real and virtual environments; abstract such perceptions into models through analysis in an automated manner; and use model inference to formulate options for information or action.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Database: A structured collection of data, essential for machine learning and intelligent decision -making. It enables efficient handling and

processing of large data volumes, crucial for AI applications. AI uses databases for predictive analytics, natural language processing, and real -time decision-making.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Hallucination: An AI hallucination is a response by an AI that appears confident and accurate but does not seem to be justified by its training data. It occurs when an AI model creates something that’s not real and not based on its own data or facts. The model fills in details that are not accurate. It can result in ridiculous or non-sensical outputs that are far from reality or do not make sense. AI hallucinations can occur in large language models (LLMs) like OpenAI’s GPT4 or Google PaLM, or in generative AI tools like C hatGPT.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) System: Any data system, software, hardware, application, tool, sensor, or utility that operates in whole or in part using 23 and generates outputs including, but not limited to, predictions, recommendations, or decisions that augment or replace human decision -making. This includes generative AI where a system creates content such as text, audio, or images in response to human or computer inputs . This extends to software, hardware, algorithms, and data generated by these systems, used to automate large-scale processes or analyze large data sets.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) User: Full-time staff, part-time staff, casual/temporary staff, interns, consultants, contractors, partners, and volunteers who may be purchasing, configuring, developing, operating, supporting, or maintaining the City of Cupertino’s AI systems or who may be leveraging AI systems to provide services to the City of Cupertino.

Automated-Decision Systems4: Automated-Decision Systems (ADS) are systems that use algorithms, machine learning, or artificial intelligence to make decisions or assist in decision-making processes without human intervention. These systems analyze data, recognize patterns, and apply pre-defined rules or learned behaviors to make decisions in various domains. However, caution should be exercised when using an ADS especially in hiring decisions. An applicant’s tone of voice, facial expressions or other physical characteristics or
behavior may constitute unlawful disparate treatment of or have an unlawful adverse impact on individuals based on race, national origin, gender, or several other protected characteristics.

Chatbot: An AI-driven software application that simulates human conversation to provide automated responses, answer questions, and perform tasks. Chatbots are used for customer service, information retrieval, and interactive communication on websites and messaging apps.

Generative AI: A system that creates content such as text, audio, or images in response to human or computer inputs. Current examples of Generative AI include ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Microsoft’s GPT-3, and RoBERTa. Please note: Grammarly is a digital writing assistant that utilizes artificial intelligence to help users improve their writing.

Unlike Generative AI, which creates new content from scratch, Grammarly focuses on analyzing and enhancing existing text.

IT Governance: refers to the City’s IT Governance structure that clarifies accountability, supports strategic alignment, delivers value, manages resources, mitigates risks, and measures performance. IT Governance involves leadership from the highest levels to ensure compliance with regulations, internal controls, and the effective use of IT Department resources.

Section 2. Guiding Principles and Responsibilities for Responsible AI Systems

A. These principles describe the City ’s values with regard to how AI systems are purchased, configured, developed, operated, or maintained. (1) Effectiveness: AI systems are reliable, meet their objectives, and deliver precise and dependable outcomes for the purpose and contexts in which they are deployed.
(2) Transparency: Where possible, a n AI system, its data sources, operational model, decision -making process, and policies that govern its use are understandable and documented.
(3) Equity: AI systems support equitable outcomes for everyone. Bias in AI systems is effectively managed with the intention of reducing harm for anyone impacted by its use.
(4) Accountability: Roles and responsibilities govern the deployment and maintenance of AI systems, and human oversight ensures adherence to relevant laws and regulations.

disclosure, and manipulation.
(7) Security & Safety: AI systems maintain confidentiality, integrity, and availability through safeguards that prevent unauthorized access and use.

Implementation of AI systems is reliable and safe, minimizing risks to individuals, society, and the environment.

B. Several roles are responsible for enforcing this policy, outlined below. (1) The City Council establishes the policy framework governing the City's use of Artificial Intelligence. The City Manager and Innovation & Technology Department are responsible for implementation, administration, and enforcement.
(2) The Chief Technology Officer (CTO), or designee, is responsible for directing City technology resources, policies, projects, services, and coordinating the same with all departments. The CTO, or designee, shall actively ensure AI systems are used in accord ance with all applicable policies.
(3) The IT Infrastructure (Security) Manager, or designee, is responsible for overseeing the enterprise security infrastructure and cybersecurity operations, updating security policies, procedures, standards, and guidelines, and monitoring policy compliance. They are also responsible for using the City’s network and technology hardware in compliance with City policies.
(4) The IT Managers, or designees, are equally responsible for overseeing the enterprise's digital privacy practices, data processing practices, and responsible usage of software and applications in compliance with City policies. They are also responsible for overseeing the privacy practices of AI systems used by or on behalf all departments.
(5) Department Heads are responsible for ensuring AI systems within their departments comply with City policies. They must coordinate with the CTO and IT Managers, oversee AI integration, and report any risks or issues to the City Manager or CTO.
(6) The CTO is responsible for maintaining this policy
(7) The City Manager , or designee , is responsible for implementing and enforcing this policy and may suspend, restrict, or terminate the use of AI systems that present unacceptable legal, operational, security, privacy, ethical, or financial risks to the City.

Section 3. General Guidelines

271
CC 09-15-26 Searchable Packet
275 of 456

Page 6 of 10 ends

Subd. 1. General Guidelines for Purchasing or Installing AI When purchasing, configuring, developing, operating, installing, or maintaining AI systems, the City will:

A. Uphold the Guiding Principles for Responsible AI Systems (Section 2).

B. Understand that the procurement process may take longer than normal to allow for the appropriate risk and technical assessments.

C. Understand that the Guiding Principles and Guidelines for AI systems also apply to free-to-use, freemium, open source, software -as-a-service (SaaS), and any other solution formats, whether or not a purchase needs to be made.

D. Conduct an AI Review when purchasing or installing a new AI system to assess the potential risk of the AI system. The C TO and IT Management Team are responsible for coordinating review of AI systems used by the City as detailed.

E. Obtain technical documentation about AI systems using the AI FactSheet or create equivalent documentation if the AI system is internally developed . The IT Department will coordinate with the Administration Services Department and Purchasing Division to ensure vendors complete the AI FactSheet when needed.

F. Vendors and contractors that supply AI systems are required to comply with the Standards and Requirements for AI Systems overseen by the I&T Department, Administration Services Department, and Purchasing Division.

Exceptions will be agreed upon between the I&T Department, Administration Services Department, City Attorney’s Office and Risk Management.

G. In the event of an incident involving the use of the AI system, the City will follow an Incident Response Plan. The C TO and IT Infrastructure (Security) Manager, or designees, along with department AI system owners, are responsible for overseeing the security practices of AI systems used by or on behalf of City departments.

Subd. 2. Requirements for Using AI
A. All AI tools used for work purposes that require an account will be used explicitly for City use. Personal accounts are not permitted for work use.

B. Assume that all work products (e.g., transcription notes from a meeting) related to AI tools and content are subject to relevant Public Records Act requests. Such records shall be retained, managed, and disposed of in 272
CC 09-15-26 Searchable Packet
276 of 456

Page 7 of 10 ends

accordance with the City's Records Retention Policy and Schedule, this policy, and applicable California Public Records Act requirements.

C. Do not input confidential, privileged, sensitive, personal, security -related, or other non-public City information, documents, or images into any AI system unless that system has been approved for the type of information involved.

Approval falls into three tiers:
▪ Public or consumer AI tools (free or personal-tier services): Never input non-public City information. Anything entered may be retained by the vendor, used to train models, or exposed publicly, and cannot be recalled or deleted.
▪ Enterprise AI tools operating inside the City's Microsoft 365 tenant (e.g., Microsoft 365 Copilot): These operate within the City's security and compliance boundary, honor existing file and mailbox permissions, and do not use City data to train foundation models.

Non-public information may be used with these tools only whe re the user is already authorized to access that information and only for data types the City has approved. Tenant protection secures the data — it does not authorize sharing, republishing, or aggregating output beyond its intended audience.
▪ Closed AI systems built for or by the City (internally developed or vendor-hosted under City contract): Use only within the data classifications, use cases, and security terms established in that system's approval and contract. A City-branded or City-contracted system is not automatically approved for all information types. ➢ Privileged, litigation, personnel, security/infrastructure, and CJIS - or HIPAA-regulated information requires prior authorization from the City Attorney's Office and the Innovation Technology Department before entry into any AI system, regardless of tier.

D. AI Users are responsible for all work products produced or generated using AI systems used for work purposes. The consequences of AI use are the responsibility of humans and cannot be deferred to the software and/or system. Staff assume all review of content produced by AI prior to using or publishing the content or images. Constant verification and maintaining a “zero-trust” approach to ensure content is accurate and used appropriately (e.g. avoid creating or using deepfake content).

Users need to be aware that AI is not a search engine or a consistently reliable source of information. It is essential for users to review and validate the content generated by AI to identify and correct any inaccuracies or nonsensical details, known as AI hallucinations.
273
CC 09-15-26 Searchable Packet
277 of 456

Page 8 of 10 ends

E. The City may restrict or block AI tools that have not been reviewed and approved.

Employees should use City-approved AI tools whenever available. Public AI tools may be used only for authorized, low -risk purposes and must never receive confidential, sensitive, privileged, personal, security -related, or other nonpublic City information.

Subd. 3. Acceptable Uses of AI
The range of uses of AI are wide, and new capabilities are frequently introduced.

This list provides a set of examples to be used as guidance but is not intended to be a complete list:

A. AI systems and tools that are natively installed as part of a City system upgrade or release.

B. Creating an outline for written content. While AI can be used as a starting point, the final product should be edited and modified by the City’s AI Users.

Examples include: emails, letters, documentation, project artifacts, agendas, speaker notes, presentation outlines or slides, social media posts, procurement documentation (RFPs, RFIs, etc.), website content, formal reports, informal documents, policies, procedures, job descriptions , and press releases.

C. Copying a document into an AI system to summarize and/or query it.

D. Suggesting writing improvements (e.g., write your document and have AI provide suggestions for simpler words or better context) .

E. Analyzing different types of data, to include verifying data or content to be valid (e.g., detection tools that identify inconsistencies typically associated with deepfakes .)
F. Idea generation.

G. Creating images or graphics
H. Language (foreign or plain English) translation.

I. Public Safety technology meta-data detection (e.g., Body-Worn Camera footage, Drones, ALPRs)
J. Acting as a chatbot for public and staff consumption, such as on the City's website.

K. Creating code or algorithms to be used in system development or design, provided that the AI-generated code has been reviewed and vetted by staff.

Subd. 4. Prohibited Uses of AI
274
CC 09-15-26 Searchable Packet
278 of 456

Page 9 of 10 ends

The use of certain AI systems is prohibited because they process sensitive information and there is a high risk that they can cause harm. This includes the following prohibited uses:

A. Biometric identification – the live identification of an individual using technologies including, but not limited to, facial recognition and iris scanning, without that individual’s knowledge or meaningful consent.

B. Emotion analysis, or the use of computer vision techniques to classify human facial and body movements into certain emotions or sentiment (e.g., positive, negative, neutral, happy, angry, nervous).

C. Fully automated decisions that do not require any meaningful human oversight but substantially impact individuals.

D. Fully automated decisions related to hiring, disciplinary action, or personnel matters.

E. Social scoring, or the use of AI systems to track and classify individuals based on their behaviors, socioeconomic status, or personal characteristics.

F. Cognitive behavioral manipulation of people or specific vulnerable groups – such as AI-driven tools or algorithms designed to influence or alter an individual’s decision-making process or belief system. These systems use psychological, behavioral, or emoti onal data to create targeted strategies that can manipulate thoughts, feelings, or actions, particularly focusing on vulnerable groups or individuals.

If staff become aware of an instance where an AI system has caused harm, staff must report the instance to their supervisor and the IT Department as soon as possible .

Subd. 5. Sunset Procedures
If an AI system operated by the City or on its behalf ceases to provide a positive utility to the City as determined by the CTO and IT Governance, the use of that AI system must be halted unless express exception is provided by the City Manager or City Council. If the abrupt cessation of the use of that AI system would significantly disrupt the delivery of City services, usage of the AI system shall be gradually phased out over time.

Section 4. Enforcement
A. All AI users are required to follow this policy.

B. Any use of AI that is found to be harmful to AI users, the public, and/or the City will be altered or stopped.

C. Violations will be investigated by Human Resources . Abuse of this policy may result in disciplinary action.

Recommended Action
Approve the appointment of Mayor Kitty Moore and Councilmember R “Ray” Wang to an ad- hoc Council subcommittee to serve on a committee to evaluate proposals for the City Lobbyist for the 2027-2028 legislative session.

Reasons for Recommendation and Available Options
Since 2019, the City has contracted annually with a state lobbyist to advocate for the City's legislative priorities, monitor state policy developments, and strengthen the City's engagement with state lawmakers and agencies. In preparation for the next two-year cycle, the City began a new competitive selection process for legislative advocacy services by issuing the Request for Proposal (RFP) (Attachment A) on September 8 using the criteria accepted by Council at the January 21 City Council Meeting.

The proposed ad-hoc subcommittee will serve as evaluation committee members that are responsible for evaluating proposals from qualified firms based on their experience and ability to advance the City's legislative priorities. The evaluation committee will participate in interviews with proposing firms as appropriate and select the most qualified firm to perform these services for the 2027-2028 legislative cycle.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Date: September 15, 2026
Subject
Approval of response to the 2025-2026 Civil Grand Jury of Santa Clara County Report entitled Pothole Damage: Improving claims processes within Santa Clara County (“Civil Grand Jury Report”)
Recommended Action
Approve the City of Cupertino’s response to that Civil Grand Jury Report.

Background
On June 12, 2026, the 2025-2026 Civil Grand Jury of Santa Clara County released the Civil Grand Jury Report (Attachment A). Concerns discussed in the Report include:

Opaque and Complex Process making it hard for residents to navigate; Difficulties in Finding Claim Forms; Lack of Multilingual Options; Confusing Jurisdictional Boundaries
, leading to claims being automatically rejected for being filed in the wrong place; and Vague Rejection Notices, providing little to no explanation as to why the claim was rejected.

The City of Cupertino (“City”), along with the other cities in Santa Clara County is being asked to respond to the report because it is one of the public agencies whose website allegedly has deficiencies that make it difficult for residents to file a pothole claim.

The Civil Grand Jury's investigation found that Cupertino does not provide online claims process instructions, requires users to manually use a search function to locate its claim form, and lacks translation features in multiple languages.

Because of these findings, the City is being asked to respond only to the following:
• Findings 1, 2, and 3: The city must explicitly "Agree" or "Disagree" with each finding.
• Recommendations 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b: The City must report its planned action regarding the Grand Jury's proposed website updates.
293
CC 09-15-26 Searchable Packet
297 of 456
As noted in an extension letter by the presiding judge , dated July 10, 2026 , Cupertino's formal response is due to the Presidin g Judge of the Santa Clara County Superior Court no later than October 10, 2026.

Suggested Response
Pursuant to California Penal Code section 933(c), the City must respond to these findings and recommendations by October 10, 2026. Below is a draft suggested response for the City Council’s consideration.

Finding 1
Jurisdictions within Santa Clara County rejected 92% of pothole claims from 2020 to 2025 due to reasons including missed deadlines, incorrect jurisdiction, and lack of prior notice.

Response: Agree.

Finding 2
Claims are often rejected because the claimant filed with the incorrect jurisdiction, which can happen because jurisdictional lines are often unclear or poorly communicated. The claims websites of all jurisdictions within Santa Clara County lack information about how to determine if a road is in its jurisdiction.

Response: Partially agree. The City cannot comment on other cities’ actions but over the last 5 years, the City has infrequently rejected claims due to jurisdictional lines.

Recommendation 2a
All jurisdictions within Santa Clara County should include a link to a map or list of roads they maintain on their claims website. The jurisdictions should implement this by December 15, 2026.

Response: Agree. The City will implement this recommendation on its claims website by December 15, 2026.

Recommendation 2b
All jurisdictions within Santa Clara County should update their claims websites to identify roads that are commonly mistaken as being in their jurisdictions. The jurisdictions should implement this by December 15, 2026.

Response: Agree. The City will implement this recommendation on its claims’ website by reviewing historical claims data and identifying any locations which claimants mistakenly believed were within the City’s jurisdiction by December 15, 2026.

Finding 3
294
CC 09-15-26 Searchable Packet
298 of 456
Fifteen jurisdictions – the County, Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Milpitas, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill, Mountain View, Palo Alto, San José, Santa Clara, and Saratoga – have websites with deficiencies that make it difficult to file a claim.

Response: Partially agree. The City cannot comment on alleged deficiencies in other cities but will implement the Civil Grand Jury’s recommendations on its website.

Recommendation 3a
Eleven jurisdictions – the County, Campbell, Cupertino, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Milpitas, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill, Mountain View, San José, and Saratoga – should update their websites to provide clear instructions and information about how to file a claim in addition to a link to the claim form. The jurisdictions should implement this by December 15, 2026.

Response: Partially Agree. The City cannot comment for other cities but it will implement this recommendation on its website, by December 15, 2026.

Recommendation 3b
Fourteen jurisdictions – the County, Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Milpitas, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill, Mountain View, Palo Alto, San José, and Santa Clara – should incorporate useable software on their websites that can translate claim forms into multiple languages or provide claim forms in multiple languages based on the demographics they serve. The jurisdictions should implement this by December 15, 2026.

Response: Partially agree. The City cannot comment for other cities, but it will implement this recommendation on its website, by December 15, 2026.

Once a response is approved by the City Council, the Interim City Attorney will forward the response to the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County Superior Court.

POTHOLE DAMAGE

SUMMARY
If you hit a pothole within Santa Clara County and damage your vehicle, chances are th at your local government will decline to reimburse you for repairs. According to data analyzed by the 2025-26 Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury (Civil Grand Jury), 92% of pothole claims filed with the County of Santa Clara (County) and the 15 cities and towns in Santa Clara County from 2020 to 2025 were rejected.

People who file claims may find this high rejection rate disappointing. They may also be frustrated by the state law that establishes the claims process, which can often be complex and opaque.

For example, in some jurisdictions, it’s not easy to figure out how to file a claim. Also, while the City of Palo Alto (Palo Alto) and the City of Saratoga (Saratoga) offer e-filing options, claims filed in other jurisdictions must be mailed in or returned in person. And when a claim is denied, the rejection notice often provides little or no explanation.

The County, cities, and towns can and should do better. Specifically, they should:
• Make online claim forms available or easier to find, and include clearer instructions and timelines;
• Provide forms in multiple languages that reflect their specific demographics; • Make it easier for claimants to determine which jurisdiction is responsible for a given roadway;
• Update their rejection letters to specify why claims were denied.

Implementing these changes would make the claims process simpler and more accessible. It would also minimize at least one source of frustration for residents who are already burdened by unexpected repair costs.

POTHOLE DAMAGE

BACKGROUND
For the purposes of this report, a pothole is defined as a depression or hole in the road that forms when pavement breaks apart due to traffic stress and weather conditions.

Potholes can cause severe damage to tires and the underside of vehicles, with a particular risk to two-wheeled vehicles. If drivers believe the local government is responsible for their damage, they can file a claim seeking reimbursement.

According to local media reports , Bay Area drivers in 2022 filed more than 1,000 claims for potholes and other road damages . According to data that the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) provided to CBS News, it rejected more than 95% of Bay Area claims (Feingold and Manthey, 2024; Manthey and Watts, 2024).

Who Is Responsible for Pothole Damage
Claims for road -related damage must be filed with the state, county, or city agency that has jurisdiction over the road where the damage occurred.

For example:
• Caltrans is generally responsible for major freeways and highways, such as US-101, I-280, and State Route 87.
• The County is responsible for expressways and county roads, such as Capitol and Lawrence Expressways.
• Cities and towns are generally responsible for local streets within their boundaries, including residential neighborhoods.

Why So Many Claims Are Rejected
The Civil Grand Jury request ed and received claims data from the County and the 15 cities and towns in Santa Clara County covering the period from 2020 to 2025. The Civil Grand Jury’s analysis of that data revealed that only 9% of pothole claims across Santa Clara County were settled.

Under the California Government Claims Act (Cal. Gov. Code §§ 810 et seq.), local agencies have wide discretion to reject a pothole claim for reasons including but not limited to:
• The claim form was incomplete or not filed by the required deadline; 300

POTHOLE DAMAGE
• It was filed in the wrong jurisdiction;
• The responsible county, city, or town either was not aware of the pothole or was aware but had not had sufficient time to repair it.

These laws make it difficult for a claimant to dispute a denial. For example, if an agency rejects a claim on the grounds that it was not aware of the pothole, the law does not require it to provide evidence to back up its assertion.

In addition, because different agencies can have jurisdiction over different sections of the same road, it can be difficult for a claimant to determine which agency is responsible for the specific location where the damage occurred. If the person files with the wrong jurisdiction, the agency can reject the claim with no obligation to specify the reason or redirect the claimant to the correct jurisdiction.

If a claim is rejected, the claimant can pursue legal action according to the California Government Claims Act.

The California Government Claims Act
The California Government Claims Act (Cal. Gov. Code §§ 810 et seq.) establishes timelines and procedures for filing lawsuits seeking money or damages from a public entity.

In general, the Government Claims Act specifies that a claim must be filed no later than six months from the date of the incident. The claim must include what happened, what harm occurred, and the amount of compensation requested.

Once the public entity receives the claim, it has 45 days to review, investigate, and decide whether to settle or reject it. If a claim is rejected, the claimant has six months to file a lawsuit.

Why the Civil Grand Jury Conducted This Investigation
The Civil Grand Jury believes that claims process es should be consistent, accessible, and transparent. It also believes the public interest is served by highlighting when processes fall short of that standard.

The Civil Grand Jury conducted this investigation to:
• Examine how local government agencies manage pothole claims; • Understand why so many claims are denied;
301

POTHOLE DAMAGE
• Recommend how jurisdictions can make it easier for potential claimants to engage in the process.

METHODOLOGY
The Civil Grand Jury requested data from all 16 jurisdictions responsible for road maintenance within Santa Clara County. The data excluded s tate routes and interstate highways because Caltrans, a state agency , is not subject to Civil Grand Jury review . Jurisdictions provided dat a about all claims filed against them for road-related damages between 2020 and 2025. Information provided included the number of pothole claims, the amount claimed, the resolution, and the reason for rejection. Three jurisdictions provided response letters sent to claimants.

The Civil Grand Jury reviewed the websites of the following 16 agencies to analyze what content was included and how clearly it was presented:
• County of Santa Clara (County)
• City of Campbell (Campbell)
• City of Cupertino (Cupertino)
• City of Gilroy (Gilroy)
• City of Los Altos (Los Altos)
• Town of Los Altos Hills (Los Altos Hills)
• Town of Los Gatos (Los Gatos)
• City of Milpitas (Milpitas)
• City of Monte Sereno (Monte Sereno)
• City of Morgan Hill (Morgan Hill)
• City of Mountain View (Mountain View)
• City of Palo Alto (Palo Alto)
• City of San José (San José)
• City of Santa Clara (Santa Clara)
• City of Saratoga (Saratoga)
• City of Sunnyvale (Sunnyvale)
The Civil Grand Jury also interviewed representatives from four jurisdictions that together account for about two-thirds of the roads in Santa Clara County. These interviews provided further insight into the agencies’ processes and decision‑making practices. 302

POTHOLE DAMAGE

INVESTIGATION
There are over 10,000 miles of locally maintained lanes in Santa Clara County (Metropolitan Transportation Commission, 2026) . Between 2020 and 2025, the agencies received exactly 400 claims specifically due to potholes.

Of the pothole claims, the Civil Grand Jury determined that the jurisdictions collectively settled 34 claims, or 8.5%. The percentage of settlements for damages varied among the individual entities. The data showed that during that five-year period:
• Gilroy and Saratoga e ach settled 50% of claims filed (however, they eac h averaged 1-2 claims per year, among the smallest sample sizes in Santa Clara County). • Four jurisdictions paid at least 10% of claims: Morgan Hill (17%), the County (11%), Santa Clara (11%), and Milpitas (10%).
• The remaining jurisdictions paid 9% of claims or fewer.

The Civil Grand Jury acknowledges that the significance of this data is limited; if an entity received a high volume of claims filed in the wrong jurisdiction, it will not settle those claims.

How Jurisdictions Investigate Claims
Jurisdictions within Santa Clara County generally follow a similar process for receiving and evaluating a claim.

First, the claim gets submitted to a city clerk, city manager, or equivalent official, who logs it along with any accompanying documents. Next, the official notifies the local public works department so it can investigate the incident site as needed.

In the meantime, the official assigns the claim to an investigator, usually in the city attorney’s or county counsel’s office. The investigator verifies whether the agency has jurisdiction, ensures the form was filled out correctly, and reviews any photographs and receipts that were submitted.

If the jurisdiction agrees to pay out the claim, it will often mail a check. But if the claim involves injuries or death, or the claimant is seeking tens of thousands of dollars, the settlement may need approval from the respective city council or the County Board of Supervisors.

If the jurisdiction rejects the claim, it will inform the claimant via a form letter or email. The California Government Claims Act does not require jurisdictions to specify the reason for denial.

POTHOLE DAMAGE
Two Common Reasons for Rejection
According to the data provided to the Civil Grand Jury, claims are frequently denied for one of two reasons: The claim was out of the entity’s jurisdiction, or the County, city, or town had no prior notice of the pothole.

Out of Jurisdiction
A claim must be filed with the agency that has jurisdiction over the specific location where the incident occurred. According to interviews conducted by the Civil Grand Jury, claims that are filed with the wrong jurisdiction will almost certainly be rejected as outside of jurisdiction.

A road’s location within a n agency’s boundaries does not necessarily mean that agency is responsible for receiving or resolving related claims. Jurisdiction over road maintenance can shift multiple times as roads cross between state, county, and municipal boundaries. This patchwork of responsibility can be confusing, making it hard for claimants to figure out which agency has jurisdiction over the specific location of their incident.

Agencies typically verify their jurisdiction by consulting their local public works, utilities, or roads departments.

No Prior Notice
The Government Claims Act also establishes limits to the public entities’ liability for the condition of its roadways. One of those limitations is the issue of notice to the public entity. The Civil Grand Jury found this was one of the two most common reasons pothole claims are rejected.

Notice typically requires evidence that at least one of four circumstances exists:

1. The public entity created the condition;

2. The pothole had been reported prior to an incident in which a vehicle was damaged;

3. An agency’s employee observed the pothole and reported it;

4. The pothole existed long enough that the jurisdiction should have known about it through regular inspections.

If none of these circumstances applies, the agency can declare it had no prior notice and deny the claim.

When an agency receives notice of a pothole, state law allows for a reasonable period to address the hazard. It does not specify what constitutes a reasonable timeframe. 304
CC 09-15-26 Searchable Packet
308 of 456

Page 8 of 20 ends

POTHOLE DAMAGE
Drivers can help ensure that a jurisdiction receives prior notice by promptly reporting any potholes.

All jurisdictions have a mechanism for reporting potholes and other issues (see Appendix A).

Rejection Notices are Often Vague
As noted above, it is not unusual for an agency to withhold its reason for rejecting a claim. A rejection notice would contain this language , in part , which is required by the California Government Claims Act (Cal. Gov. Code § 913):

NOTICE OF REJECTION OF CLAIM
Dear Claimant,
Notice is hereby given that the claim you presented to ( insert title of board or officer) on (date) was rejected on (date).

WARNING
Subject to certain exceptions, you have only six (6) months from the date this notice was personally delivered or deposited in the mail to file a court action on this claim.

See Government Code Section 945.6.

You may seek the advice of an attorney of your choice in connection with this matter. If you desire to consult an attorney, you should do so immediately.

Agencies may provide further information, such as the reason for rejection. A notice of denial can be aggravating enough, but when it is written in minimal legalistic terms, claimants may feel even more frustrated. The Civil Grand Jury learned about rejection letters from the County, Los Altos, Los Gatos, Mountain View, Palo Alto, and San José and found that some but not all rejection letters provide a reason for rejection. Rejection letters from other jurisdictions may follow this same approach.

In Civil Grand Jury interviews, one agency official suggested that people who receive a letter like this contact the agency and see if it will shar e the reason for rejection. Although the reason f or rejection is recorded by the agency, there is no legal obligation to provide this information, and agencies may limit this information.

POTHOLE DAMAGE
Filing a Claim: Determining which Jurisdiction is Responsible Caltrans Jurisdiction
If a pothole is located on a state route or interstate highway, the claim would generally fall under Caltrans’s jurisdiction. These routes, which, according to Caltrans, cover about 250 miles throughout Santa Clara County (California Department of Transportation, 2025) include:
• U.S. Route 101 (US-101)
• Interstate 280 (I-280)
• Interstate 680 (I-680)
• Interstate 880 (I-880)
• State Route 17 (SR-17)
• State Route 35 (SR-35)
• State Route 82 (SR-82), which includes El Camino Real • State Route 85 (SR-85)
• State Route 87 (SR-87)
• State Route 130 (SR-130), which includes part of Alum Rock Road and Mount Hamilton Road
• State Route 152 (SR-152)
• State Route 237 (SR-237)
Residents may not realize that some common local routes fall under Caltrans jurisdiction. These include SR-82, a large part of which includes El Camino Real; Mount Hamilton Road; and SR- 130, which is part of Alum Rock Avenue.

When a local road crosses or overlaps a s tate route or interstate, that portion is generally under Caltrans jurisdiction.

County Jurisdiction
Expressways and many county roads are maintained by the County Roads and Airports Department.

Major roads include:
• Almaden Expressway
• Capitol Expressway
• Central Expressway
• Foothill Expressway
• Lawrence Expressway

POTHOLE DAMAGE
• Montague Expressway
• Oregon Expressway
• San Tomas Expressway
• Southwest Expressway
Complicated Exceptions
Further complicating efforts to determine which agency has jurisdiction over a particular area, cities, Caltrans, the County, and even the federal government ( such as near Moffett Federal Airfield) have maintenance agreements that specify which agency is responsible for certain roadway segments – such as onramps, offramps, and other defined areas (City of Mountain View, 2019). It is not always easy to determine which agency is responsible for which segments.

Complicated Maps
Some jurisdictions have no public maps indicating which roads they are responsible for. Th e County and some cities, including San José, Campbell, and Mountain View, do post searchable maps online that can help the public narrow down which jurisdiction is responsible for a particular road. However, the maps often use complicated interfaces rather than a simple image or printout, and many maps are not specific to just the roads maintained by the jurisdictions.

San José, which maintains more than 4,000 miles of locally maintained lanes within its borders, has its own mapping website (Metropolitan Transportation Commission, 2026; City of San José, 2020). It shows whether a particular street within its boundaries is maintained by San José, the County, a private entity, or another agency. The website provides a large amount of information, although it is complicated for the average user to navigate.

An alternative source of information is pavement management plans that some agencies make available. These plans may list all roads maintained by the jurisdiction and can be used as a reference. As an example, Morgan Hill has a link to its latest 2024 Pavement Management Report with a list of streets at the end. However, there is no direct link from the claim forms webpage, so claimants would not be aware of this reference (AMS Consulting, 2025).

Filing a Claim: Obtaining and Submitting a Claim Form
Once a person has found the proper jurisdiction, the next step is to download the claim form from the local agency’s website.

Of the 16 jurisdictions, the Civil Grand Jury found that only Gilroy, Los Gatos, Palo Alto, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale provide adequate claims process information on their webpages or on the claim form itself.
307

Page 11 of 20 ends

POTHOLE DAMAGE
Most jurisdictions provide forms only in English. This is an omission that could potentially disenfranchise community members who have limited proficiency in English.

The Civil Grand Jury identified three cities that took the helpful step of providing additional language options:
• Morgan Hill provides a PDF of its claim form in English and Spanish. • Sunnyvale has a translation feature that allows claimants to translate the form into one of 200+ languages. Users can either fill out the translated form online and print a copy or print out a blank translated form and fill it out by hand.
• Saratoga’s website uses a third-party widget to translate its website in addition to an online form to many other languages.

The Civil Grand Jury als o investigated how easy it is to find claim forms on each jurisdiction’s website by searching for the term “claim form.”
The Civil Grand Jury could not find any information about submitting a pothole claim in four entities: Campbell, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, and Monte Sereno.

Cupertino provides a claim form, but users must use the website’s search function to find it.

Gilroy does not link directly to a claim form, although it does provide instructions on how to request a form by email or in person.

Many jurisdictions recommend that claimants deliver the claim form in person, including all relevant information, such as photos, receipts, and witness statements. The claimant should retain a signed copy.

Some agencies allow for email submission , but this is the exception. Alternatively, a claimant could submit the claim by mail to the city or town clerk (or, for the County, the Clerk of the Board).

According to the California Government Claims Act, the agency has 45 days from the date the claim form was mailed or delivered in person to respond to the claimant. 309

POTHOLE DAMAGE

CONCLUSION
Even though state law sets strict rules for filing and reviewing claims, local government agencies retain significant discretion over their processes. By offering clearer online information, improving access to claim forms, expanding language options, and providing more detailed explanations when claims are denied , jurisdictions can significantly improve public trust, reduce frustration , and increase fairness.

Implementing the recommended updates is not only feasible, but it also aligns with the spirit of responsive and transparent public service. The Civil Grand Jury urges all jurisdictions to adopt these improvements by the recommended deadlines to ensure that the claims process is fairer, more consistent, and easier for the public to navigate.

POTHOLE DAMAGE

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Finding 1
Jurisdictions within Santa Clara County rejected 92% of pothole claims from 2020 to 2025 due to reasons including missed deadlines, incorrect jurisdiction, and lack of prior notice.

Recommendation 1
No recommendation.

Finding 2
Claims are often rejected because the claimant filed with the incorrect jurisdiction, which can happen because jurisdictional lines are often unclear or poorly communicated. The claims websites of all jurisdictions within Santa Clara County lack information about how to determine if a road is in its jurisdiction.

Recommendation 2a
All jurisdictions within Santa Clara County should include a link to a map or list of roads they maintain on their claims website.

The jurisdictions should implement this by December 15, 2026.

Recommendation 2b
All jurisdictions within Santa Clara County should update their claims websites to identify roads that are commonly mistaken as being in their jurisdictions.

The jurisdictions should implement this by December 15, 2026.

Finding 3
Fifteen jurisdictions – the County, Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Milpitas, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill, Mountain View, Palo Alto, San José, Santa Clara, and Saratoga – have websites with deficiencies that make it difficult to file a claim.

Recommendation 3a
Eleven jurisdictions – the County, Campbell, Cupertino, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Milpitas, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill, Mountain View, San José, and Saratoga – should update their websites to provide clear instructions and information about how to file a claim in addition to a link to the claim form.

The jurisdictions should implement this by December 15, 2026. 311
CC 09-15-26 Searchable Packet

Page 15 of 20 ends

POTHOLE DAMAGE
Recommendation 3b
Fourteen jurisdictions – the County, Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Milpitas, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill, Mountain View, Palo Alto, San José, and Santa Clara – should incorporate useable software on their websites that can translate claim forms into multiple languages or provide claim forms in multiple languages based on the demographics they serve.

The jurisdictions should implement this by December 15, 2026.

Finding 4
When pothole claims are rejected, claimants filing claims against t he County, Los Altos, Los Gatos, Mountain View, Palo Alto, and San José receive a notice that provides little or sometimes no explanation for the rejection. Although jurisdictions within Santa Clara County are not legally obligated to provide a reason for rejection, the lack of clarity in the decisions made on the claims can add to a claimant’s frustration.

Recommendation 4
The County, Los Altos, Los Gatos, Mountain View, Palo Alto, and San José should update their rejection letters to specify whether the decision was due to lack of timeliness, incorrect jurisdiction, lack of prior notice, or other reason and to provide a specific contact to call or email if the claimant has further questions about the reason for rejection.

The jurisdictions should implement this by December 15, 2026.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: September 15, 2026
Subject
Law Enforcement Services Agreement with the County of Santa Clara.

Recommended Action
Receive an update regarding the City's law enforcement services agreement with the County of Santa Clara, discuss the findings of the City's independent financial review, receive a proposed draft long-term agreement from the County of Santa Clara, and provide direction to staff as appropriate.

Background
For decades, the City of Cupertino, along with City of Saratoga and Town of Los Altos Hills have contracted with the County of Santa Clara for law enforcement services provided by the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office. The last agreement expired on June 30, 2026. On December 31, 2025, the County provided proposed contract terms effective July 1, 2026, which contained a new cost methodology that dramatically increased the contract cost by approximately $7,500,000 annually, representing a 40% increase . Over the spring, the parties me t regularly to negotiate contract terms, resulting in an overall 34% rate increase.

Since the driver of these negotiations was the County’s new cost methodology, the parties agreed to a three- month contract extension through September 30, 2026, in order for a third-party financial firm to provide an independent review of the contract cost metho dology. The current three-month extension was executed with all terms set forth by the County, including the 3 4% rate increase. In July, the three Cities retained Vasquez & Company LLP (“Vasquez”) to conduct the independent financial review of the County's methodology and supporting financial information.

As discussed below, the final Vasquez report was completed in late August. With the contract termination date imminent, the City and County have continued discussions regarding the terms and costs of a successor agreement, the absen ce of which will impact public safety service levels in the City. In order for the parties to amicably continue their negotiations and preserve public safety, the City has requested that the County agree to another short -term extension and are awaiting the County’s response. The significant focus of the discussions remain the County's 319
CC 09-15-26 Searchable Packet

proposed cost methodology and its conformance with Government Code Section 51350, which governs the costs counties may charge cities for contracted services.

Vasquez Financial Review
Vasquez worked closely with the cities and the County to assess the methodology and finalized its report on Wednesday, August 26, 2026. The final report (“Report”) has been provided to the County administration and Board of Supervisors. The City is currently awaiting the County's formal response.

Prior to finalization, the City provided the County with a draft of the report and an opportunity to review and comment. The County provided feedback on the draft, which Vasquez evaluated as part of its final review. Where appropriate, the County's comments were incorporated into the final report or otherwise addressed by Vasquez in a separate written response.

The Report evaluates the County's proposed FY 2026 -27 costs, including the allocation of direct and indirect costs, the methodologies used to distribute shared costs, comparisons with other California contract-service models, and the County's FY 2026-27 Recommended Budget scenario assuming discontinuation of the West Valley city contracts. Key observations from the review include:
- Changes in overhead costs and methodology. The County's FY 2026 -27 proposal increases overhead allocated to the West Valley Station by app roximately $6.0 million compared with the prior year and expands the overhead base to include additional countywide functions.
- Allocation methodology. The County applies caseload, either independently or in combination with service hours, across several cost categories. Vasquez found that case counts do not account for differences in case complexity, staff time, or level of effort and that the County had not provided information sufficient to substantiate caseload as a cost- causative basis for allocating general operating or overhead costs. For instance, there is a significant delta in the amount of investigation time, analysis and reporting from a burglary alarm incident vs a homicide.
- Costs identified as not allocable. At the category level, Vasquez classified approximately $10.7 million of the West Valley overhead and support costs reviewed as not allocable to the West Valley Cities, i.e. the County’s cost proposal sought to pass through to the contract cities $10.7 million of their overhead co sts that they would continue to incur without these contracts. The R eport notes, however, that several of these cost categories contain both contract -related and baseline activities and that further component-level information is necessary to determine the appropriate amount attributable to the contract cities. The City has reached out to the County to further this discussion. - Alternative allocation analysis. As an illustrative comparison, Vasquez reallocated the same West Valley costs using assigned staff ing rather than the County's proposed methodology. The FTE-based approach – the methodology that had been the basis for all prior contracts reduced the combined projected cost for Cupertino, Saratoga, and Los Altos Hills from approximately $40.4 million to $33.9 million, a reduction of approximately $6.5 million, or 16.1%. Vasquez notes that this analysis is illustrative and does not establish the required allocation methodology or whether every cost is allocable. 320
CC 09-15-26 Searchable Packet
324 of 456
- County's no-contract budget scenario. Vasquez also reviewed the County's FY 2026 -27 Recommended Budget, which identifies reductions in staffing and expenditures if the West Valley city contracts are discontinued. The review found that some costs would be reduced or eliminated, while other County costs would continue even without the city contracts. Vasquez noted that additional analysis is needed to reconcile these changes with the costs included in the County's contract proposal and determine which costs are attributable to the contract cities.

The Report is available on the City's Law Enforcement Contract Negotiations webpage and is
included as an attachment to this staff report. The report provides additional detail regarding the firm's analysis and observations.

Request for Ongoing D iscussions
City staff has reached out to the County multiple times to continue discussions regarding the parties' respective interpretations and application of Government Code Section 51350 , the County's proposed costs , and the findings contained in the Vasquez report. The financial discussion is intended to work through the underlying cost categories in greater detail, including identifying costs directly attributable to providing services to contract cities and distinguishing those from costs the County would continue to incur in the absence of the contracts. The City is awaiting a response from the County.

September 30 Contract Expiration and Service Levels
The current law enforcement services agreement remains scheduled to expire on September 30, 2026. The County has indicated that, absent an executed successor agreement, law enforcement service levels within Cupertino would be significantly reduced . On multiple occasions, the City has requested another short extension to continue to negotiate, while continuing to pay the full costs that the County has proposed in order to not dis rupt law enforcement services to the residents of Cupertino or personnel within the West Valley Division.

City staff has also made multiple inquiries seeking additional information regarding the specific services and staffing that would be provided to Cupertino following expiration of the agreement, but no formal response from the County , providing a clear description of the service levels that would remain in place after September 30, has been provided.

Community Engagement
On September 9, 2026, the City hosted a Mayor's Chat focused on the Sheriff's contract. The event provided an informal setting to share information regarding the contract and ongoing negotiations and to engage with community members on the issue. Many of the questions centered on the need for additional time for contract negotiations to continue. S ince a further extension would be based on the County’s current disputed cost proposal, the County would not incur any financial loss.

Next Steps
Depending on Council direction, staff will continue working with the County on the long -term agreement.
