Santa Clara Valley Water District
FY25 Flood Awareness Campaign
Valley Water's FY25 Flood Awareness Campaign centered around the theme, "You Live in a Flood Zone: Beware.
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 Water’s 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 2024 to March 2025, at a total cost of $389,340. This campaign combined outdoor and digital geo-targeted advertising, supplemented by three direct multilingual mailings sent to approximately 49,555 homes and businesses located in or near high-risk flood areas, as designated by the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA).
Targeted Mailings
1. FLOOD CAMPAIGN ANNUAL FLOODPLAIN MAILER
Valley Water's Annual Floodplain Mailer (FPM) was distributed in December 2024. This multi-language mailer, available in English, Spanish, Chinese, and Vietnamese, is titled "You Live in a Flood Zone: Beware. Be Ready. Be Flood Safe."
The FPM included QR codes, a magnet featuring essential flood safety websites, a detachable emergency phone list, and a centerfold that highlighted our Surface Water Data Portal. One of the QR codes directs residents to a site where they can access the latest information about local creek and reservoir water levels:

2. FLOOD TIPS POSTCARD MAILER
'Beware. Be ready. Be Flood Safe.' Extreme Weather multilingual postcards were produced and distributed to 49,555 properties in the FEMA SFHA in November 2024. These postcards included the nine CRS topics, supporting messages, and links to various flood readiness and preparedness web pages.
Link to Tips Postcard
3. FLOOD TRI-FOLD BROCHURE
In January 2024, we mailed out the trifold guide titled “You Live in a Flood Zone: Beware, Be Ready, Be Flood Safe.” This multilingual resource outlines actions residents can take to protect their lives and property before, during, and after a flood. Additionally, it includes a QR code that directs readers to valleywater.org/floodready for more tips and tools on flood preparedness.

4. TARGETED OUTDOOR ADVERTISING
The 2024-25 outreach campaign included outdoor banners displayed at ten locations identified as high-risk areas for flooding. Additionally, advertisements in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese were featured on 24 public buses operating in regions deemed "hot spots" for flooding.
5. ETHNIC COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Outreach efforts to multilingual communities included advertisements in local newspapers in Spanish, Chinese, and Vietnamese and television ads in Chinese.
6. FY25 COUNTYWIDE MAILER
Effective the FY25 flood season (starting in October 2024), Valley Water no longer produced a Countywide Mailer (CWM) for flood messaging. On January 14, 2025, during Valley Water’s CRS five-year cycle visit, Valley Water informed the ISO CRS Specialist, Marlene Jacobs, about this change. We explained that in place of the CWM, Valley Water distributed two additional targeted mailers to residents and businesses located in the FEMA-designated Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). Both hard and soft copies of these mailers were provided to all Santa Clara County cities and the county.
The Flood Tips Postcard included all nine topic messages identified in the 2021 Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information (PPI): https://s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/valleywater.org.us-west-1/s3fs-public/VWFlood%20Postcard-Vertical-bleed-CMYK-Outlined-Final.pdf.

Flood Protection Partner Toolkit
In mid-October 2024, Valley Water released the 'Be Flood Safe' Social Media Toolkit for the 2024-2025 Flood Awareness Outreach Partner (https://conta.cc/3AwdoXS). This toolkit was made available for download to all partnering agencies, including CRS communities. It featured digital and social media banners and animations highlighting key calls to action: know your risk, sign up for emergency alerts, and find sandbags. Additionally, the toolkit included multilingual graphics showcasing essential tips and provided an option to request co-branded bill inserts and postcards.

ATTACHMENT 3
Valley Water • NAFSMA Excellence in Communications Award Submission • Public Awareness of Flooding • 2 Our climate is changing. Extreme weather is the new normal.
As we have learned from flooding disasters throughout the region, it is essential to prepare for emergencies, as the weather can be unpredictable. That’s why Valley Water works year-round on capital improvement projects to reduce the risk of flooding. Our crews are also at work before, during, and after storm emergencies to keep the community safe from flooding.
For over twenty years, Valley Water has sought to educate Santa Clara County residents about existing flood risks and provide resources and tips to help residents be flood safe.
Our efforts to reduce flood risks and outreach support local partners that participate in the FEMA Community Rating
System (CRS). The CRS is a voluntary incentive program that recognizes and encourages community floodplain management practices that exceed the minimum requirements of the
National Flood Insurance Program.
These activities can earn CRS-participating communities credit to reduce National Flood Insurance Program premiums.

Excerpt from 2017 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.”

Agenda Meeting
Santa Clara County CRS Users Group & Program for Public Information (PPI) Committee Meeting Notes
March 26, 2025 | 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Item #1: Introductions/ Roll Call/ Roster Updates
Attendees were introduced (see attached attendance sheet). Informed committee that the meeting was being recorded for meeting minutes and will also be used to track attendance. ______________________________________________________________________________ Item #2: Review of the Meeting Goals and Agenda
• The main objectives of the meeting are as follows:
o Fulfill the requirements for CRS PPI credit as per the CRS Coordinator’s Manual by initiating the reporting process of the 2021 Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information (PPI) Annual Evaluation Report (AER) for FY25 (Year 4: July 2024 to June 2025). Due to the 8/2/25 annual recertification deadline, when the AER is due, the deadline for communities to submit their updates to the AER is May 30, 2025.
o Review the status of the outreach initiatives listed in the 2021 PPI. o Brief status update on the CRS Regionalization in SC County • County’s 2023 Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. • Update on Valley Water’s CRS Program
• Reviewed pending “Action Items” from the committee’s 2024 meetings.
Items from March 26, 2024, and/or May 29, 2024
o Agenda Item #3 – Annual Review of CRS Communities Roster – Reminder to update the CRS community roster.
o Agenda Item #5: Floodplain Management Plan (FMP) Update – Valley Water met with Emily Zedler to discuss hotspots. Based on the conversation, there was no specific outreach to hotspots because they differ based on agency.
Valley Water has an online resource tool, a GIS layer, that communities can use to conduct targeted outreach.
Map of Valley Water’s FIT (Field Information Team) hotspots:

o Agenda Item #6: Review 2021 PPI “Other New Initiatives” – Initiative #2: Identify the Chamber of Commerce or equivalent in each city and find ways to share information via websites, blogs, and newsletters. Due to Valley Water and our largest community, San Jose, being cycled in 2024, we could not follow up on this action item. This initiative may be reconsidered next PPI update. Initiative #4: Expand outreach to "hot spot" flood-prone areas by hosting on-site or virtual events. Based on targeted outreach efforts utilizing hotspot information, this initiative is complete.

The meeting notes correspond with the discussion of the meeting agenda items. o Agenda Item # 8: Activity 350 – Flood Protection, c. flood protection website – Check links and ensure links direct to 1) valleywater.org/floodready, 2) floodsmart.gov, and 3) ready.gov. to ensure agencies receive CRS WEB credit.
______________________________________________________________________________ Item #3: Annual Review of CRS Communities Roster
Action Item:
Requested communities review and update the roster located here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ttp_t7c6-XXCfQ5urxqRJ-GxZDZ0jG6g/edit#gid=1135493871 ______________________________________________________________________________ Item #4: Brief Status Update on the CRS Regionalization in Santa Clara County Feasibility Study
Valley Water and its consultant, Tetra Tech, have completed the regionalization feasibility study.
However, Valley Water has decided not to pursue a regionalization approach because it would not be possible to regionalize the entire program. We are looking for other ways to streamline our program while continuing to assist CRS communities.
Reminded all communities to use the county’s 2023 Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP) when pursuing Activity 510, Floodplain Management Planning (FMP) credit. Everyone was encouraged to stay updated on the county’s MJHMP. It is essential to remind the County that CRS communities receive FMP for their 2023 MJHMP, and to maintain those credits, floodplain management, and CRS planning must be conducted in parallel.
Valley Water is no longer pursuing the multi-jurisdictional flood-centric plan we were considering for FMP credit.
Valley Water shared an update on our CRS Program. Like everybody else, we are constrained by resources and want to ensure we use our time and resources effectively. So, we are looking at ways to right-size our program and identify opportunities to improve it and make it more efficient. Due to this program evaluation, we will communicate if potential impacts are anticipated to any community. ______________________________________________________________________________ Item #5: Review 2021 PPI ‘Other New Initiatives’ Identified in the 2021 PPI These initiatives were suggested to be re-evaluated as part of the next PPI update to include only realistic initiatives to reduce the reporting requirements. 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.

The meeting notes correspond with the discussion of the meeting agenda items.
From page 66 of the 2021 PPI
1. Continue and expand the standardized flood message prepared for each community to include flood messages in utility bills each year, including PG&E. Completed in FY25
2. Expand partnerships with local chambers of commerce to disseminate and share flood preparedness information. This was discussed at the March 26, 2025, meeting. We may reconsider this initiative as part of the PPI update in 2026.
3. Expand on outreach to the Asian and Latino communities who live in flood-prone areas. Identified an existing nexus with Valley Water’s Office of Civic Engagement (OCE), Office of Racial Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (REDI), and Office of Government Relations (OGR) programming, of which information share flood preparedness materials at various tabling events.
4. Expand on outreach to “hot spot” flood-prone areas by hosting on-site or virtual events. Provided link to Valley Water’s GIS Map of the Field Information Team (FIT) hotspots https://tinyurl.com/scvwdfit
5. Expand on reaching local homeowners associations (HOA) and apartment associations (e.g., Executive Council of Homeowners [ECHO]). This is too large a task to be carried out at this time.
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) Identified an existing nexus with Valley Water’s Office of Civic Engagement (OCE), Office of Racial Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (REDI), and Office of Government Relations (OGR) programs, which make every effort to reach out to marginal and low-income communities.
7. Communities could pursue FEMA Matching Funds Grants for severe Repetitive Loss Areas. Only a handful of CRS-participating communities in SC County have repetitive losses; this committee does not track whether these communities pursue grant funding opportunities.
8. Review and expand other public information activities, such as Flood Protection Assistance (Activity 360) and Flood Insurance Promotion (Activity 370). Valley Water’s January 2025 5-year cycle visit could potentially score additional points under Flood Protection Assistance. We will inform communities accordingly.
9. Develop a regionwide Flood Response Program messaging plan. Achieved by the County’s 2023 MJHMP.
______________________________________________________________________________ Item #6: Complete Development of the 2021 Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information (PPI) Annual Evaluation Report, FY 25 (Year 4: July 2024 to June 2025) Action Item:
Deadline – May 30, 2025: Using this Google Link, each community was requested to search (under the ‘Project(s) Proposed to Support the Messages’ column, search by using their community’s abbreviation) for their Outreach Project identified in Appendix A - CRS Creditable Outreach and Flood Response Projects by CRS Community, from Santa Clara County Multi-Jurisdictional PPI 2021, and update their community’s FY25 project accomplished.
All were reminded that no other information can be modified outside the INPUT HERE ONLY column.

Item #1: Introductions/ Roll Call/ Roster Updates
Attendees were introduced (see the attached attendance sheet) and informed that the meeting was being recorded to create meeting minutes and track attendance.
Amy Fonseca reminded the group to update the CRS Users Group roster if they haven’t already done so. ______________________________________________________________________________ Item #2: Review of the Meeting Goals and Agenda
The main objective of the meeting is as follows:
o Fulfill the requirements for CRS PPI credit as per the CRS Coordinator’s Manual by initiating the reporting process of the 2021 Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information (PPI) Annual Evaluation Report (AER) for FY25 (Year 4: July 2024 to June 2025).

See details on Item #6 of the 5/14/25 Meeting Agenda
______________________________________________________________________________ Item #3: Flood Awareness Survey 2025 Results Presentation FY25 Flood Awareness Campaign Results
− Paola Reyes (Valley Water, Public Information Representative) reviewed the FY25 Flood Awareness Campaign results. The group was informed that this information will be in the 2021 PPI Annual Evaluation Report for FY25.
− Campaign goals were flood awareness, flood preparedness, and access.
ATTACHMENT 9
2 | Page
The meeting notes correspond with the discussion of the meeting agenda items. o Awareness: Educate FEMA-designated Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) residents and businesses about their flood risks and mitigation strategies. o Preparedness: Empower residents to take preventative actions, including knowing their flood risk, signing up for emergency alerts, and knowing where to find free sandbags.
o 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. − Adam Probolsky gave a presentation overviewing the FY25 Flood Awareness Survey results. The group was informed that the FY25 flood awareness campaign results are available upon request and were asked to contact any member of Valley Water's CRS Program Team.
The launch of Valley Water’s FY26 Annual Flood Awareness Campaign kicks off in October 2025
Paola Reyes shared that we reduced the number of mailers sent to those in the FEMAdesignated Special Flood Hazard Area from four to three. As indicated in the flood survey results, the number of people recalling the mailers slightly decreased, so we may consider using a fourth mailer in the future.
She also shared that as the FY26 campaign is being developed, the idea is to focus on the following three topics: 1) Turn around, don’t drown; understanding shallow flooding; 2) How to prepare sandbags; and 3) Downloading disaster emergency apps.
Paola shared Valley Water’s Communications’ creative approach for next year’s campaign.
Renee Gunn from the City of Mountain View mentioned that at their tabling events, it’s been more effective to focus on emergency preparedness rather than specifically on flood preparedness. That seemed to resonate more with people, as emergency preparedness for all disasters, including floods, earthquakes, mudslides, power outages, etc., affects everyone, but flooding specifically, not necessarily.
Merna Leal mentioned that the timeline graphic of historical floods after drought seemed to really impact people at tabling events in which Valley Water has participated.
The suggestion is to continue updating the timeline graphic, making it available on Valley Water’s website, and sharing it with the cities and counties for their websites. ______________________________________________________________________________ ATTACHMENT 9

Item #4: Valley Water Website Re-design: FloodReady landing page Megan Azralon (Valley Water, Public Information Representative) provided an update on the Valley Water website redesign, highlighting upcoming improvements to make flood and emergency information easier to find. She shared a preview of the new homepage layout.
Key features include a reorganized menu, customizable highlight sections, quick links, an interactive map for sandbag locations and flood alerts, and integration of campaign visuals.
The updated design will improve accessibility and user experience, with full language translation support. Feedback on layout and content is welcome.
Action Item:
Provide feedback on Valley Water’s website redesign to [email protected]. ______________________________________________________________________________ Item #5: Information Share: The 14th Annual California Flood Preparedness Week (CFPW) will be held from October 18-25, 2025
Attendees were reminded of the state’s collaboration site for the upcoming flood season’s CFPW. The state’s website has last year’s messaging, graphics, risk communication tools, and ideas about events:
https://sites.google.com/view/cfpw/home and https://water.ca.gov/Flood-Prep-Week We discussed the importance of communities participating in the state-led CFPW effort as agencies throughout the state participate and share information on invaluable available resources. This is of great importance given that beginning in FY2, Valley Water will likely no longer provide the cities/county with flood readiness promotional/giveaway items. Materials from Valley Water’s annual flood awareness campaign will continue to be made available to the cities/counties.
Action Item:
Contact the California Department of Water Resources with questions about CFPW and/or to request that your agency be added to the state’s distribution list. Nikki Blomquist, Program Coordinator: [email protected] Jason Ince, Public Affairs: [email protected]

______________________________________________________________________________ Item #7: Valley Water CRS Program Updates
Valley Water has led CRS as a ‘fictitious community’ since 1998. o Federal changes, rising workload, and limited resources have made this voluntary role unsustainable.
Valley Water is looking into transitioning to a supportive partner role (not a direct participant). o Working with a consultant to determine the transition plan and details. Impact on CRS Communities
o Cities would work directly with FEMA/ISO for CRS administration and technical support. Continued Valley Water Support:
o Channel maintenance docs (Activity 540)
o Documentation for Valley Water CRS-creditable activities upon request o Lead PPI through April 2026
Post-2026 Valley Water may no longer participate in PPI for CRS purposes but would continue with our annual flood prep campaign, which could still be eligible for CRS credit. Cities would need to determine how they would like to manage their own/multijurisdictional PPI and credit verification. Valley Water is also looking to amend the consultant’s contract to help CRS communities with the transition.
We are open to feedback; email or call Amy with questions or concerns. Formal notice will be sent to the cities once decisions are made, and the transition plan is ready.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Approve Notice of Acceptance of Completion, and Reduction of the Faithful Performance and Payment Security Bonds for Property Improvement Agreement No. 2022-03, The Cottages - Tract 10582
Meeting Date: July 28, 2025
From: Jimmy Forbis, City Administrator
Department: Public Works
Submitted by: John Doughty, Public Works Director
Prepared by: Jorge Duran, Senior Civil Engineer
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: Promote Safe and Affordable Housing for All
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Notice of Acceptance of Completion, and Reduction of the Faithful Performance and Payment Security Bonds for Property Improvement Agreement No. 2022-03, The Cottages Development - Tract 10582.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Approve the Notice of Acceptance of Completion and Reduction of the Faithful Performance and Payment Security Bonds for Property Improvement Agreement No. 2022-03, The Cottages Development - Tract 10582. On and off-site improvements have been completed and the Developer is seeking reduction in the performance bonds per Gilroy City Code.
BACKGROUND
In August 16, 2021, D.R. Horton Bay, Inc. (Developer), received Tentative Map approval for The Cottages residential project, to create 29 single-family residential lots located on 9160 Kern Ave. [Reference: Resolution No. 2021-46, TM 20-06]. The approvals were to construct streets, utilities, landscaping, lighting, fences, walls, and open space areas.
On September 19, 2022, D.R. Horton Bay, Inc. received Council approval of the Tract 10582 Final Map and the Property Improvement Agreement 2022-03 for the development of the site and related Public Improvements for The Cottages subdivision.
The developer has paid plan check and inspection fees and submitted bonding and insurance for the above-referenced Property Improvement Agreement and Tract Map.
ANALYSIS
Chapter 21, Article III, Section 21.81 of the Gilroy City Code allows the City Council to authorize a reduction in the payment and performance bonds that the builder provided prior to the Property Improvement Agreements being accepted by Council. The amount of the bond reduction is consistent with the amount of work completed at the time of the request. A Maintenance Bond in the amount of 10% of the construction cost ensures that defective or damaged improvements will be corrected during the one-year maintenance warranty period. The project’s actual improvement costs have been reviewed to ensure that the Maintenance Security amount covers any anticipated issue with the installed improvements.
The developer, D.R. Horton Bay, Inc, requests a reduction of Tract 10582 Faithful Performance and Payment Bonds to a Maintenance Bond. This Maintenance Bond is 10% of the bond’s value for the Tract improvements bond, reducing it for Tract 10582 from the original $1,874,275 to $187,427. The original security provided for 100% of the estimated construction cost and payment for tract improvements, which consist of new streets, grading, curb, gutter, sidewalk, utilities, landscape, electrical lighting, utility storm, water, and sewer.
The project is fully complete, and the Notice of Completion document is ready for acceptance and recordation with Santa Clara County. Attachment 3 contains the Notice of Completion.
ALTERNATIVES
Council may deny the request to approve the Notice of Acceptance and reduction of bonds. However, the developer has completed all improvements per the approved Property Improvement Agreement No. 2022-03. Staff does not recommend this alternative as it will impose unnecessary delay for the site’s development.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
There is no net impact to the General Fund. The developer has paid plan check and inspection fees and submitted bonding and insurance for the above-referenced Property Improvement Agreement and Tract Map. The Faithful Performance and Payment Bonds held as security would be reduced from the original $1,874,275 to $187,427.

Meeting Date: July 28, 2025
From: Jimmy Forbis, City Administrator
Department: Public Works
Submitted by: John Doughty, Public Works Director
Prepared by: Jorge Duran, Senior Civil Engineer
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: Promote Safe and Affordable Housing for All
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Final Map and Property Improvement Agreement No. 2025-02 for Royal Way Development, Tract 10634, APN's 799-44-093, -094, -095, -096, -097, -098, -101, - 109, and -110.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Lennar Homes of California, LLC acquired Tentative Map (TM 21-04), a 45-unit townhome project located at the terminus of Royal Way. The owner has completed the design of all on-site improvements, and the City's contract land surveyor has approved the off-site improvements and the final map. A Project Improvement Agreement (PIA) has been prepared, and the required performance sureties have been submitted.
It is recommended that the City Council approve the PIA and Final Map for Tract No. 10634.
BACKGROUND
On November 21, 2022, the City Council of the City of Gilroy approved tentative map TM 21-04, granting Michael Cady, Third Millennium Partners, and property owner Paul Sanders, TMP Royal Way, LLC to develop an approximate 3.37 acre site into 45 townhomes and associated private streets that will be maintained by the Homeowners’
Association on property located East of Gilroy High School, between Royal Way and the Uvas Creek Trail (APN#799-44-093, -094, -095, -096, -097, -098, -101, -109, and -110), [Reference: Resolution No. 2022-87, TM 21-04].
The property has been purchased and is now owned by Lennar Homes of California, LLC, a California limited liability company.
ANALYSIS
Lennar Homes of California, LLC is requesting approval of Tract 10634, Royal Way Final Map, and entering into a Property Improvement Agreement with the City for the construction of Public Improvements, including: paving, curb, gutter, driveways, sidewalk, landscape, lighting, storm drain, water, sewer, and necessary utility extension and connection to serve the development. As part of the Property Improvement Agreement, the Developer is required to provide Faithful Performance and Payment bonds of $3,301,000 for 100% of the estimated construction cost of the improvements.
Staff have reviewed the Tract 10634 Final Map and determined that the Map is ready for recording with Santa Clara County, once approved by the City Council.
ALTERNATIVES
Council may deny the request and let the Tentative Map expire. STAFF DOES NOT RECOMMEND THIS ALTERNATIVE because it will impose unnecessary delay for the development of the site and will require the developer to process a new Tentative Map for City approval.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
There is no net impact on the General Fund. Plan check and inspection fees have been collected to cover the costs associated with this action. The developer has submitted bonding and insurance for the above-referenced Property Improvement Agreement and Final Map. All the above-required improvements are part of the developer’s responsibility, and the City will reimburse the developer for the upsizing of the water line, estimated at $31,365, to be paid for by the Water Development Impact Fund (435).

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Approval of a Fourth Amendment to the Agreement with Circlepoint, Inc. for the Gilroy Data Center Project
Environmental Impact Report in the Amount of $25,000.00 for a Total Not-to-Exceed Contract Amount of $309,462.20 (Paid by the Applicant)
Meeting Date: July 28, 2025
From: Jimmy Forbis, City Administrator
Department: Community Development
Submitted by: Sharon Goei, Community Development Director Prepared by: Gloria Sciara, Extra Help Planner
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: Not Applicable
RECOMMENDATION
Approve a Fourth Amendment to the Agreement with Circlepoint, Inc. for the Gilroy Data Center Project Environmental Impact Report (EIR) in the amount of $25,000.00 for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $309,462.20 (paid by the applicant) and authorize the City Administrator to execute the contract amendment and associated documents.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Amendments to the Circelpoint, Inc. (Consultant) contract resulted from requests from Amazon Web Services (AWS), the applicant for the Gilroy Data Center project, to modify various project elements necessitating edits and additional research, document reconciliation prior to the release of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR), and in response to extra time needed to respond to a comment letter. To facilitate the processing of the entitlements, additional work was needed by Circlepoint. These changes require analysis necessitating significant amounts of time and updating the environmental documents (Final EIR and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program), resulting in additional costs associated with preparation of the EIR by Circlepoint. The requested amendment is necessary for Circlepoint to complete the documents
associated with production of the Final EIR documentation and additional work related to supporting environmental documentation for the entitlement documents for the Architectural and Site Review application (AS 20-23). The requested amendment is also intended to cover the projected cost to manage the project through certification of the Final EIR and project completion. The requested modification is paid by the applicant for the Gilroy Data Center Project EIR.
BACKGROUND
Amazon Web Services (AWS) submitted an application to construct and operate a data center on an industrial zoned vacant property, located on Camino Arroyo near the Gilroy Outlets. The Gilroy Data Center project will consist of the following components to be constructed in two phases. Phase I would include the first single-story data center building of approximately 218,000 square feet (Building 1), a security building, a substation/switchyard, offsite transmission upgrades to the existing Pacific Gas and Electric transmission and distribution system, potentially a future Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) of up to 50-megawatt (MW), and other utility interconnections.
Phase II would include a similar single-story data center building of 218,000 square feet (Building 2) that would utilize the aforementioned utilities that would be constructed in Phase I.
The project required preparation of an Environmental Impact Report in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines. On June 6, 2022, City Council awarded a contract to Circlepoint, Inc. (Consultant), in the amount of $175,000.00 ($158,988.00 plus a $16,012.00 contingency budget). The contract was executed on June 27, 2022. The first amendment in December 2023 increased the contract by $32,252.05 to cover costs associated with a request by AWS to include additional tasks in the EIR. The second amendment in October 2024 increased the contract by $36,757.25 for a total contract budget of $244,009.30. The third amendment in December 2024 increased the contract by $40,452.90 and brought the total contract amount to $284,462.20.
ANALYSIS
The fourth amendment augment request is intended to cover projected cost to manage the project through certification of the Final EIR and project completion by the Consultant. An additional comment letter was forwarded to the Consultant to be addressed and included in the Final EIR. Preparation of a summary of environmental impacts was also requested that was included as part of issuing the entitlement documents approving the project. The requested modifications resulted in $5,000.00 of additional costs. Responses to additional comments following the publication of the Final EIR would require additional work or changes to the project approval may require supplemental environmental review. A $20,000.00 contingency is available for this purpose. The fourth amendment results in a total project cost of $309,462.20, paid by the applicant, for the Gilroy Data Center Project EIR.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may choose not to approve the amendment to the contract.
Circlepoint, Inc. would not be able to adequately complete the project for the Gilroy Data Center. Staff does not recommend this action.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
Staff does not anticipate any net costs to the City as this is an applicant-paid project.

Exhibit B—Scope of Work
EXHIBIT B—SCOPE OF WORK
Thank you for this exciting opportunity to work with the City of Gilroy (City). We are pleased to provide this proposal, which outlines Circlepoint’s approach to preparing an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Gilroy Data Center (project) proposed by Amazon Data Services (the Applicant).
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Circlepoint understands that the project will consist of the following components to be constructed in two phases:
• Two data center buildings and one security building totaling approximately 438,500 square feet; • Backup generating facilities to provide electricity to critical data center operations in the event of a loss of utility power;
• Two battery energy storage systems;
• A new substation/switchyard and a double circuit transmission upgrade; • A new recycled water pipeline;
• Ancillary utility infrastructure for connection to existing stormwater and potable water pipelines; • Security fencing;
• General Site Grading, Stormwater and Landscaping.
Phase I will be a traditional data center set up, requiring the use of diesel-powered backup generators. Circlepoint understands that the Applicant is committed to Tier-4 compliant backup generators, as required by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD). Phase II will utilize an emerging technology to provide backup energy in the event of a power failure. Given that Phase I will have a maximum electrical demand of 49 MW and Phase II would leverage an alternative energy supply instead of diesel generators, the California Energy Commission (CEC) would not have jurisdiction over the project. Therefore, the project is not required to seek a Small Power Plant Exemption (SPPE) from CEC’s jurisdiction, and the project can follow the normal CEQA clearance process at the local level.
The project will require water for cooling when outside air temperatures exceed 83 degrees F. The data center will be designed to use recycled water provided by the City of Gilroy, once available, and a potable water connection will serve as a back-up source to the recycled water supply. Given the level of water demand required for the project, both potable and recycled, it is critical that the availability of water resources to meet project demand is adequately analyzed.
The project site’s former use for agricultural production indicates that vehicle miles traveled (VMT) generated from construction and operations of the project would be considered net new to the project site. The project is expected to include 25 employees to operate the data center and 37 employees to assemble the data equipment.
Circlepoint will use the peer-reviewed VMT analysis to carefully consider impacts.
APPROACH
process and environmental document as clear and straightforward as possible, so the general public and agencies understand the process, analysis, and issues being addressed.

circlepoint 13
Exhibit B—Scope of Work
Based on the Request for Proposal (RFP) Letter provided by the City, Circlepoint understands that the City envisions preparing an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) that conservatively assesses the potential impacts of the project. While other less robust environmental document options (such as an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration) may also be feasible, Circlepoint agrees with the City’s preferred approach because an EIR will allow maximum public and agency involvement and be more legally defensible in the event of a challenge. Circlepoint anticipates that the project will face the greatest scrutiny surrounding impacts associated with water supply and operation, and noise introduced to the project site. Strong project management will be required to execute the preparation of a timely and meticulous document that will withstand legal and public scrutiny with regards to these topics. This requires experience and the right skills which Circlepoint possesses based on our extensive history working on data centers in Santa Clara, San José, and Los Angeles. opportunities for environmental streamlining. The EIR could address topics such as Mineral Resources, the CEQA Guidelines Section 15128.
Circlepoint understands the Applicant has submitted a detailed project description that includes a “mitigation incorporated into the project design” approach. This approach is common within the CEC’s SPPE process, but presents legal concerns from a local agency CEQA perspective (such as Lotus v. Department of Transportation (223 Cal. App. 4th 645)). Circlepoint will work closely with the City to review the applicable standard conditions of approval along with existing local, regional, state, and federal policies and best practices that could support the use of some Applicant-provided measures as “project features.” Circlepoint will apply our robust understanding impacts and discloses necessary mitigation.
QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL PROCESS
Circlepoint’s quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) process ensures the continuing integrity and quality of all services and deliverables. Our QA/QC process includes senior review responsibilities for both the Project Manager and the Principal-in-Charge. The Project Manager directs and reviews project team work on deliverables products before a work product is delivered to a client or printer. The following table summarizes the management structure that Circlepoint uses to ensure the quality of every document we produce.
ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES
Principal-in-Charge • Overall quality control and quality assurance of all work products Project Manager • Primary client contact
• Oversees document preparation and coordination with technical subconsultants • Provides intermediate QA review and technical editing prior to PIC review Senior Associate • Secondary client contact, often acting in a Deputy Project Manager capacity • Coordinates information requests, delivery schedules, and day-to-day communication with technical consultant
• Lead reviewer and proofreader for most documents

Following distribution of the NOP, Circlepoint will work closely with the City to facilitate a Public Scoping Meeting and provide recommendations in meeting response to the Public Scoping Meeting and the NOP and strategize with the City on incorporating these “known issues” into the EIR.
TASK 3: PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Circlepoint will prepare and submit a project description for City review and approval. Circlepoint will build upon the project description prepared by the Applicant and ensure it meets the requirements of CEQA Guidelines Section 15124. Circlepoint anticipates that the existing project description contains the majority of information needed for CEQA analysis. Circlepoint will revise the project description in response to one round of comments from the City. Circlepoint will utilize the following background materials (to be provided by the City/Applicant) to complete the project description:
• Preliminary geotechnical feasibility report
•

DocuSign Envelope ID: 14F9F2E1-0C78-4311-A1E3-40287DCA9EA0
circlepoint 16
Exhibit B—Scope of Work
Circlepoint will conduct a gap analysis to ensure each of these technical studies provides the information necessary to support and complete the EIR per CEQA guidelines. If additional technical analysis is required, Circlepoint will coordinate with the City to strategize on the best course of action. Additional studies would require an amendment to this scope and fee. We assume all reports listed above will be provided to Circlepoint in a format acceptable for use in supporting a CEQA document and can be publicly circulated.
TASK 6: DRAFT EIR
Circlepoint will prepare a Draft EIR consistent with CEQA Guidelines Article 9. The Draft EIR will meet all City standards for content and formatting.
Task 6.1: Administrative Draft EIR
The background materials provided with the City’s RFP Letter included CEQA-related documents which assess and analyze project impacts for a number of resources. Circlepoint will rely upon the analysis already prepared to the prepare the setting, impacts, and mitigation discussions for each environmental topic area set forth in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. Circlepoint will prepare a summary of existing conditions, pertinent regulations, and a description of the regional setting, placing special emphasis on any rare or unique environmental resources in the project area. Circlepoint will review and reference relevant policies and regulations from the City’s General Plan and Zoning Code, and other documents required for the analysis as applicable. The EIR will also include an analysis of alternatives to the project, an assessment of cumulative impacts associated with the project, and a description of comments received during the scoping period. Circlepoint assumes that up to three alternatives will be evaluated in the EIR, including (for example) a reduced development alternative, a reduced backup electric generation alternative, and/or a backup electric generation technology alternative. For the cumulative impacts analysis, Circlepoint will use the City’s General Plan as a guide for reasonably foreseeable projects in the surrounding area.
Circlepoint will prepare a draft mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP) to be submitted with the Administrative Draft EIR for City review. The draft MMRP will develop and present feasible mitigation for monitoring each mitigation measure, and identify monitoring triggers and reporting frequency for each measure.
The Administrative Draft and MMRP will be provided in electronic formats to the City.
Key Deliverables: Administrative Draft EIR, draft MMRP
Task 6.2: Screencheck Draft EIR
Circlepoint will then provide clean, compiled PDF and MS Word versions of the screencheck draft EIR to verify that Key Deliverables: Second Administrative Draft EIR, Screencheck Draft EIR.

Exhibit B—Scope of Work
project is to be located, and mailed to the owners and occupants of property contiguous to the parcel or parcels on which the project is located.
The Draft EIR will be circulated for a minimum of 45 days. While public hearings are not required as an element of the CEQA process, they are encouraged to facilitate the public commenting process and address known issues of the project. Circlepoint recommends that the City hold a public hearing during the circulation period given the anticipated public controversy surrounding the project. This scope includes a public hearing as an optional task.
OPTIONAL TASK: Public Hearing
Key Deliverables: Draft EIR, NOA, NOC
TASK 7: FINAL EIR
Task 7.1: Response to Public Comments
Circlepoint will prepare written responses to comments on the Draft EIR following the public review period.
Circlepoint assumes the City will provide copies of all written comments. Should the City decide to advance with the public hearing, which is included in this scope as an optional task, Circlepoint will assist the City in recording written and verbal comments at the hearing. Circlepoint will compile all comments with alpha-numeric codings close of the comment period to discuss the best approach, which may include the use of master responses to facilitate the response to similar or repeated comments. Comment responses will be incorporated to the Final EIR for the City’s review.
Circlepoint hours listed in the proposed budget for responses to comments are an allowance. If an unusually large volume of comments are received (over 15 distinct comment letters), Circlepoint will confer with the City to determine an appropriate path forward. The scope and budget also assumes responses do not require substantial additional research, analysis, or meetings with commenters.
Task 7.2: Final EIR
Circlepoint will prepare a Final EIR which includes responses to all public comments received during the circulation period. Consistent with Section 15132 of the CEQA Guidelines, the Final EIR will comprise the following elements:
• Project Description
• A Summary of the Environmental Process
•
• Responses to Comments, including a list of persons, organizations, and public agencies commenting on the draft EIR; the comments received, and the City’s responses to each comment • An Erratum to address any necessary changes to the Draft EIR that may result from public comments • Appendices (as needed)
Based on up to two (2) sets of consolidated comments from the City, Circlepoint will revise the responses to Key Deliverables: Response to Public Comments, Final EIR.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Approve the Final Map for Greenfield Development, Tract 10666
Meeting Date: July 28, 2025
From: Jimmy Forbis, City Administrator
Department: Public Works
Submitted by: John Doughty, Public Works Director
Prepared by: Jorge Duran, Senior Civil Engineer
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: Promote Safe and Affordable Housing for All
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Final Map for Greenfield Development, Tract 10666, APN 808-20-008.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
On November 5, 2018, the City Council approved tentative map (TM) 16-02 for James Suner, creating 14 single-family lots and associated private streets that the Homeowners Association will maintain from an 8.36-acre parcel. The property is located at the northern terminus of Greenfield Drive, south of Uvas Creek, east of Las Animas Elementary School/Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan Area development, and east of the Villagio residential development (APN 808-20-008) [Reference: Resolution No. 2018-44, TM 16-02].
This project has received the following Tentative Map time extensions:
• Extension #1: 6/1/20: City/State automatic extension due to the COVID-19 pandemic: City Council Resolution 2020-23 extended projects through 5/31/21. • Extension #2: 9/29/20: City/State automatic extension due to the COVID-19
pandemic. AB 1561 provided 18-month extensions, with a new TM expiration of 11/30/22.
• Extension #3: 2/2/7/23: The City Council approved a 12-month extension, with a new TM expiration date of 11/30/23.
• Extension #4: 2/5/24: The City Council approved a 12-month extension, with a new TM expiration date of 11/30/24.
• Extension #5: 12/9/24: The City Council approved a 12-month extension, with a new TM expiration date of 11/30/25.
ANALYSIS
The Suner Corporation is requesting approval of the Tract 10666 Greenfield Final Map, right-of-way and public easement dedications, and construction of site improvements, including: paving, curb, gutter, driveways, sidewalk, landscape, lighting, storm drain, water, and sewer to serve the development. As part of the site improvements, the Developer is required to provide Faithful Performance and Payment bonds of $262,140.20 for 100% of the estimated construction cost of the improvements.
Staff have reviewed the Tract 10666 Final Map and determined that the Map is ready for recording with Santa Clara County, once approved by the City Council.
ALTERNATIVES
The Council may deny the request and let the Tentative Map expire. Staff does not recommend this alternative because the developer has met all conditions, and the map is compliant with the California Subdivision Map Act.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Approve a Fifth Amendment to the Contract for CSG Consultants, Inc., Increasing the Contract Amount by
$25,000, for On-Call Engineering Plan Review and City
Surveyor Services, for a Contract Total of $480,000
Meeting Date: July 28, 2025
From: Jimmy Forbis, City Administrator
Department: Public Works
Submitted by: John Doughty, Public Works Director
Prepared by: Jorge Duran, Senior Civil Engineer
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: Promote Economic Development Activities Promote Safe and Affordable Housing for All
RECOMMENDATION
Approve a contract amendment to the agreement with CSG Consultants, Inc. to add $25,000 for On-Call Engineering Plan Review and City Surveyor Services and authorize the City Administrator to execute the amendment and associated documents.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Public Works Department (Department) oversees the review and approval of land subdivision projects, compliance with the Subdivision Map Act, engineering plan review, and recording land subdivision mapping documents. Since the Department does not have an in-house Licensed Surveyor (City Surveyor), the Department fulfills this statutory obligation through a specialized professional consultant, CSG Consultants, Inc.
Due to a high volume of development applications during FY25, particularly those involving final maps, the adopted budget of $100,000 for FY25 proved insufficient to cover the costs. The contract increase of $25,000 will adequately enable staff to pay the projected remaining invoices and close out the FY25 contract, resulting in a total annual
cost of $125,000. Applicants pay the annual costs, and there is no direct General Fund impact. No budgetary appropriations are needed as this increase will be absorbed by the projected year-end savings.
BACKGROUND
The City Council awarded a three-year contract to CSG on August 4, 2020, for engineering plan review and City Surveyor services. This agreement has been amended four times since the original approval.
The Public Works Land Development Section is responsible for reviewing and approving land development applications, land subdivisions, infrastructure improvements, and construction projects according to the Gilroy City Code. To comply with the Subdivision Map Act requirements, maintain timely project delivery, and meet customer service expectations established by the City Council, the Department supplements its staffing resources and City Surveyor services through professional service contracts.
ANALYSIS
Due to a high number of development applications requiring City Surveyor Plan Review services during FY25, the adopted budget of $100,000 for FY25 is insufficient to cover the costs incurred in FY25. An additional contractual increase of $25,000 is needed for FY25 to close out the contract year and ensure the City continues to provide the critical services in Land Development Subdivision services. The final two months of the fiscal year included work on several final maps, which accounted for much of the unexpected year-end costs. The City continues to obtain cost reimbursements fully recoverable through private development plan review fees.
ALTERNATIVES
The alternative to the staff recommendation is not to approve the amendment. Staff does not recommend this option as the costs have been incurred, costs are being covered by the applicants, and the City does not have a Licensed Surveyor to complete such tasks.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
The support services are primarily funded by the plan check and inspection fees paid by private developers, and are received and expended within the Engineering Division in the General Fund (100). Staff is requesting Council’s approval of the contractual increase of $25,000 to cover incurred costs through June 30, 2025, and to pay out the remaining invoices. No budgetary appropriations are needed as this increase will be absorbed by the projected year-end savings.
