Subject: Council 04/22/2025 Study Session Plaza 1&2 Park with Parking Los Altos Mayor Dailey and Distinguished Council Members Subject: Council 4-22-2025 Study Session Downtown Park with Parking Presentation Presentation Report shows a “pretty picture” park painted on a “blank palette”. Unfortunately, Plaza 1 and 2 have “dirty palettes” that need cleaning up designs before starting public outreach. It is important that public outreach comments are based on “blank palette” surface and have some data about actual size, parking loss, undergrounding utilities before surface of park can start construction. Also, a total cost estimate to achieve a “blank palette” surface in Plaza 1 and 2 surfaces.
As always, “devil is in the details”.
Following are items that will need to be done before start of surface park construction:
Plaza 1 is the “heart” of PG&E electrical power distribution for almost all downtown triangle. Master very high voltage step down distribution underground transformer location is near Plaza 1 middle of west end and requires a surface access safety zone around it. Overhead PG&E lines / step-down transformers from very high transformer run east through Plaza 1 and 2. Branch lines in middle of Plaza 1 and 2 run south to Lyell / San Antonio. These overhead lines also have both AT&T and Comcast lines. All will require utilities / services undergrounding and re-routing to 16 the Main Street stores. My experience with recent Los Altos PG&E undergrounding is 3 to 5 years lead time for high voltage.
Los Altos sewer line runs underground next to first row of trees, near backside of Main stores along Plaza 1 and 2. It will have to be moved closer to Main Street stores to make room for underground parking foundation.
Both natural gas and water lines dissect both Plaza I and 2 and will need relocation. Both Plaza 1 and 2 have downhill slope of 5 feet that could cause loss of underground parking spaces due to extended underground parking ramps.
In my opinion, Los Altos parking Plaza’s agreement 68 years ago with downtown property owners gave alley access to rear of their stores. County Fire Department has declared all downtown Plaza alleys emergency accessible routes. This means that alleys on north and south sides of Plaza 1 and 2 must remain. Plaza 1 is APN 167 40 039 and Plaza 2 is APN 167 40 072 for official site dimensions.
Thank you for your consideration! Jim Wing, 57-year resident Milverton Road Los Altos P.S. It appears that potential developers interested in Plaza 7 and 8 are having trouble “penciling out” housing projects because of undergrounding and narrow lot width. 5 2

PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
August 26, 2003, January 27, 2004, and March 1, 2005.
BACKGROUND
The City of Los Altos established the Raymundo Avenue Curb and Gutter Assessment District in 2003 under the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913 (Division 12 of the California Streets and Highways Code, the "Act"). Bonds were issued pursuant to the Improvement Bond Act of 1915 (Division 10 of the California Streets and Highways Code, the "Code"). The project aimed to improve infrastructure by installing curbs, gutters, and storm drains, as well as conducting necessary street surface repairs along Raymundo Avenue from Springer Road to Mountain View Avenue.
A total of twenty-eight residences benefited from the project, contributing financially through the assessment district process. This funding mechanism ensured that property owners who directly benefited from the improvements shared the cost.
34 Agenda Item # 3.
On August 26, 2003, the City Council authorized staff to proceed with the formal bidding process for the Raymundo Avenue Curb and Gutter Assessment District Project. Following a competitive bidding process, the contract was awarded to O’Grady Paving, Inc. on January 27, 2004. The project was successfully completed and formally accepted by the City Council on March 1, 2005.
ANALYSIS
To finance the construction and installation of curbs and gutters along Raymundo Avenue, the City issued Limited Obligation Improvement Bonds totaling $274,391 in July 2005. These bonds were secured through special assessments levied on the benefiting properties, ensuring an equitable funding structure while allowing for upfront capital to complete the necessary improvements.
Over the years, the property owners met their financial obligations, leading to the full repayment of the bonds. On September 2, 2020, the City confirmed that all outstanding debt associated with the bonds had been retired, marking the successful financial closure of the project.
DISCUSSION
To formally close out the assessment district, the City engaged NBS, a consulting firm specializing in public finance, to conduct a thorough review and prepare a District Closeout Analysis Report.
This report details the required administrative steps for dissolving the district and provides final documentation related to the bonds and special assessments levied on the affected properties.
According to the analysis, all special assessments levied as security for the bonds have been fully satisfied by the property owners. With no outstanding debt or further obligations, the City can now proceed with the formal dissolution of the Raymundo Avenue Curb and Gutter Assessment District.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt an ordinance of the Los Altos City Council adding Chapter 14.91 for Lighting Performance Standards and find that this ordinance is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State Guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970.
FISCAL IMPACT
Not Applicable.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed amendments are exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
April 8, 2025.
BACKGROUND
In late 2023, the Los Altos City Council directed staff to develop an ordinance in coordination with the Environmental Commission regarding Bird Safe Design and Dark Skies. The Los Altos Municipal Code does not presently regulate either of these two provisions.
In late spring the Environmental Commission voted on the general requirements of what should be included within a Bird Safe Design and Dark Skies ordinance. Following the discussion regarding the general requirements for the ordinance an Environmental Commission Subcommittee worked directly with the Development Services Department, Management Analyst II and Assistant City Manager on the draft ordinances under consideration. Additionally, the draft 38 Agenda Item # 4.
ordinances were reviewed by the Environmental Commission on October 9, 2024; the Environmental Commission made a unanimous decision for the Draft Ordinance to advance to the following stages for adoption.
Since the draft regulations will largely affect housing developments within the City of Los Altos it is essential for these provisions to be included within the Zoning Code which will allow for universal application of standards. All Zoning Code amendments require review by the Los Altos Planning Commission. Following the decision of the Environmental Commission the draft ordinance was scheduled for consideration of the Planning Commission on November 21, 2024.
On November 21, 2024, the Planning Commission was presented the draft ordinances as approved by the Environmental Commission. The Planning Commission made the following recommendation to the Los Altos City Council:
Motion by Beninato and Second by Steinle to recommend the Los Altos City Council adopt Chapter 14.91 for Lighting Performance Standards with a modification to Section 14.91.070 changing provisions for existing nonconforming lighting to be modified upon a 50% threshold of a remodel instead of a five and ten year compliance period and look at providing an incentive program for existing structures; and not adopt Chapter 14.90 for Bird Safe Design Standards; and find the proposed amendments are exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Motion carried unanimously by roll call vote.
On April 8, 2025, the City Council considered both recommendations by the Environmental and Planning Commissions. The City Council Introduced the Lighting Standards Performance Ordinance with a minor modification to the Kelvin rating from 2,700 to 3,000. The Bird Safe Design Ordinance failed for a lack of motion by the City Council.
DISCUSSION
The proposed Lighting Performance Standards Ordinance is to protect and enhance the city’s natural environment and public health by reducing light pollution at night through reasonable restrictions on outdoor lighting.
The Lighting Performance Standards as modified are largely consistent with the recommendation of the Environmental Commission except for Section 14.91.070 Application of Chapter to Existing Nonconforming Lighting as modified by the Planning Commission. The original recommendation of the Environmental Commission included enforcement of nonconforming lighting on a 5- or 10- year compliance schedule post adoption, which the Planning Commission was concerned about the impact on existing developments and the future financial costs associated with those upgrades.
The Planning Commission recommended the compliance mechanism for existing nonconforming lighting to be modified upon a 50% threshold of a remodel. The City Council agreed with the recommendation of the Planning Commission.
The City Council Introduced the Lighting Standards Performance Ordinance with a minor modification to the Kelvin rating from 2,700 to 3,000. The modification in Kelvin rating is more consistent with industry standards, and available fixtures. 39 Agenda Item # 4.

APPENDIX A
CHAPTER 14.91 LIGHTING PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
14.91.010 PURPOSE.
The purpose of this chapter is to establish regulations and a process to review outdoor lighting to accomplish the following:
A. Minimize direct glare and prevent excessive lighting, thereby minimizing light pollution caused by inappropriate or misaligned light fixtures, and promoting common courtesy among neighbors; and
B. Provide sufficient lighting where it is needed to promote safety and security; and C. Provide standards for efficient and moderate use of lighting; and D. Encourage human health benefits and local wildlife safety.
14.91.020 DEFINITIONS.
"Correlated color temperature" or color temperature is a specification of the color appearance of the light emitted by a light source, measured in Kelvin (K). Warmer color temperatures are a lower number, and cooler color temperatures are a higher number. "Curfew" means the time of day when lighting restrictions are in effect. "Directional lighting" means methods of directing light downward, rather than upward or outward, with the intention of directing light where it is needed. "Fully shielded" means a light fixture constructed and installed in such a manner that all light emitted, either directly from the lamp or a diffusing element, or indirectly by reflection or refraction from any part of the fixture, is projected below the horizontal plane (from the bottom of the lamp).
"Glare" means light entering the eye directly from a light fixture or indirectly from reflective surfaces that causes visual discomfort or reduced visibility to a reasonable person.
“Government facilities” means a building or structure, parcel or property, owned, leased, operated, or occupied by the City of Los Altos. Government facilities include any public infrastructure maintained within the City of Los Altos. "Light pollution" means the material adverse effect of artificial light, including, but not limited to, glare, light trespass, sky glow, energy waste, compromised safety and security, and impacts on the nocturnal environment, including light sources that are left on when they no longer serve a useful function.
"Light trespass" means a condition in which artificial light emitted from a luminaire on one property, not inclusive of light incidentally scattered or reflected from adjacent surfaces, is directed in such a manner that the light source is visible from any other property.
46 Agenda Item # 4.
"Lumen" means the common unit of measure used to quantify the amount of visible light produced by a lamp or emitted from a light fixture (as distinct from "Watt," a measure of power consumption).
"Outdoor light fixtures" means outdoor illuminating devices, lamps and similar devices, including solar powered lights, and all parts used to distribute the light and/or protect the lamp, permanently installed or portable; synonymous with "luminaires” affixed to the exterior of a building.
"Seasonal lighting" means lighting installed and operated in connection with holidays or traditions.
"Security lighting" means lighting intended to detect intrusions or other criminal activity occurring on a property or site.
"Skyglow" means the brightening of the nighttime sky that results from scattering and reflection of artificial light by air molecules, moisture, and dust particles in the atmosphere, caused by light directed or reflected upwards or sideways and reduces one's ability to view the night sky.
"String lights" means light sources connected by free-strung wires or inside of tubing resulting in several or many points of light.
14.91.030 APPLICABILITY.
A. All existing outdoor light fixtures installed prior to the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived shall conform to the provisions of this chapter according to the compliance schedule set forth in Section 14.91.070.
B. All outdoor light fixtures installed or replaced after the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived shall comply with this chapter.
C. For any property subject to this chapter and regulated by permit conditions pertaining to outdoor lighting, the more restrictive provisions in terms of minimizing light pollution shall apply.
D. Nothing in this chapter shall prohibit a declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions for private enforcement from further restricting lighting so long as it meets the minimum standards detailed in this chapter.
E. The following lighting and activities are not regulated by this chapter:
1. Indoor lighting.
2. Construction or emergency lighting provided such lighting is temporary, necessary, and is discontinued immediately upon completion of the construction work or termination of the emergency; provided, however, construction or emergency lighting shall be deployed to comply with the ordinance to the greatest practical extent.
3. Building or premises address identification lighting that complies with the minimum applicable building or health and safety requirements, provided however, such lighting shall be deployed to comply with this chapter to the greatest practical extent, with the exception of curfew requirements. 47 Agenda Item # 4.
4. Low-intensity landscape lighting which is directed downward and no greater than one hundred and fifty (150) lumens per fixture.
5. Short-term lighting associated with activities that are otherwise exempt from discretionary or ministerial permitting by the city; provided, however, such lighting shall be deployed to comply with this chapter to the greatest extent practical.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
November 9, 2021, November 30, 2021, May 9, 2023, June 13, 2023, November 12, 2024, & April 8, 2025
BACKGROUND
The Los Altos Stage Company has operated in the Bus Barn Theater at the Los Altos Civic Center site for 29 years.
53 Agenda Item # 5.
In August 2018, a community theater was identified as part of the Los Altos Downtown Vision Plan that would relocate the Los Altos Stage Company to a new theater in the downtown triangle.
During the November 9, 2021 meeting, the Los Altos Stage Company presented to the City Council and requested a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City of Los Altos in order to pursue building a downtown theater. At that meeting, the City Council directed staff to prepare a MOU under which the City would reserve a specified City-owned parking plaza through November 9, 2024 as a potential site for a community theater, in order to give the Los Altos Stage Company an opportunity to raise funds towards building a community theater During the November 30, 2021 meeting, the City Council approved the MOU for a three year agreement through November 30, 2024.
During this time, the Los Altos Stage Company hired AMS Research to do a Feasibility Study built around project objectives, program possibilities, and costs. The results of this study were presented to the City Council in May 2023. This analysis presented an estimated cost of $24 million with $1 million escalation for a 23,400 square foot building with a 160-seat theater and other performing arts spaces.
During the May 9, 2023 study session with the Los Altos Stage Company, City Council directed staff to bring a one year extension of this MOU in order to support their next step in completing a capital campaign analysis.
During the June 13, 2023 meeting, the City Council voted to extend the existing MOU through November 9, 2025 with the updated language.
The Los Altos Stage Company hired BuildingBlox Consulting who completed their findings in June 2024. BuildingBlox created a prospective donor list with over 200 names, conducted indepth interviews with 20 prospective donors, and drafted an analysis on the potential for a fundraising campaign.
Per the analysis, they were likely to raise roughly $9 - $12 million without a lead gift. In order to reach a $25 million goal, it was recommended that Los Altos Stage Company should hire a capital campaign manager to cultivate the largest gifts between $2.5 and $5 million.
At the November 12, 2024 City Council meeting, the Los Altos Stage Company requested the City to fund two $2.5 million requests, with one as the lead gift for the project and another at the $10 million goal mark, and to hire a Capital Campaign Consultant, which is estimated at roughly $300,000 over a few years. The final request was to extend the MOU with the City to continue their work.
At the November 12, 2024 meeting, the majority of the City Council directed City staff to explore the best feasible next steps to support the request for “a capital campaign consultant or firm that will provide a progress update in the first year to know about the standing and the contract could extend out two to years as necessary.”
54 Agenda Item # 5.
City staff first evaluated the previous reports provided to City Council by AMS Research and BuildingBlox. City staff believe a project that is 25,000 square feet with the full amenities listed in the project will cost more than the $25 million mentioned in the report. However, City staff believes a scaled down building with more flexible, less technicalspaces and one larger performing arts room in a smaller square footage may be possible for the price of $25 million. It is the intention to continue pursuing the fundraising goal of $25 million as outlined in the two reports.
City staff has met with close to ten individuals and firms that focus on major performing arts fundraising in different capacities. After meeting with them, City staff has distilled the following notes and recommendations regarding the project.
There should be a Steering Committee consisting of one individual from the City, the Los Altos Stage Company, and Los Altos Mountain View Community Foundation that will focus only on ensuring the ongoing operations of the fundraising activities, but will not be directly involved in the fundraising. The Steering Committee will also be tasked with hiring the capital campaign firm or individual.
As mentioned in previous reports, Los Altos Stage Company does not have the current staffing to support this capital campaign development. The capital campaign firm or individual will focus on fundraising for this project alone. City staff believes it makes the most sense to have this capital campaign firm or individual work directly out of a third-party beyond the City or Stage Company, which is the Los Altos Mountain View Community Foundation.
Once the capital campaign firm or individual is hired, the Steering Committee will meet with them to identify the best selection process and criteria for a Capital Campaign Cabinet. The Capital Campaign Cabinet will be comprised of individuals from the community, Los Altos Stage Company, and philanthropic community who are donors themselves that will work to support the initiatives and concepts presented with the goal to solicit donations directly from other prospective donors.
The Capital Campaign Cabinet will be the sole group working to fundraise for the downtown theater project through the Los Altos Mountain View Community Foundation and would collaborate with the Los Altos Stage Company as necessary, but the Los Altos Stage Company will not be directly involved in fundraising for the project as it will all be completed by the Capital Campaign Cabinet. The Capital Campaign Cabinet should be comprised of individuals not currently on the boards of any of the three groups.
This type of project will require a quiet phase where the capital campaign firm or individual will be meeting directly with potential Capital Campaign Cabinet members and developing relationships with prospective donors over a period of time.
If City Council desires to allocate funding for this project, City staff recommends that the City provide $300,000 to the Los Altos Mountain View Community Foundation to retain the services of a capital campaign firm or individual with requirements:
Must create a Steering Committee consisting of one individual from the City, the Los Altos Stage Company, and Los Altos Mountain View Community Foundation 55 Agenda Item # 5.
Must create a Capital Campaign Cabinet that will oversee the capital campaign firm or individual’s work and ensure they are moving forward through this quiet phase Must provide a report back to the City around one year from their initial start date with a status update on their current capital campaign efforts and a realistic timeline at the end of one year for the project to reach its goal
Must provide an analysis to the City of how a City contribution towards the project, requested $5 million, would be best received in this process
DISCUSSION
At the April 8, 2025 meeting, City Council unanimously approved allocating $300,000 to the Los Altos Mountain View Community Foundation to retain the services of a capital campaign firm or individual for fundraising activities for a downtown performing arts center.

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to execute the Subdivision Improvement Agreement and approve Parcel Map for 705 Vista Grande Ave
FISCAL IMPACT
Not Applicable.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The approval of a final map is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA guidelines section 15268(b)(3).
PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Not Applicable.
BACKGROUND
On April 26, 2022, the Council approved the multi-family design review application and the associated Tentative Map for the new development at 705 Vista Grande Avenue. The recommended action will finalize the tentative map for the project.
A Tentative Map is a map showing the layout of a proposed Subdivision, including the general description of the associated infrastructure. The approved Tentative Map also sets conditions such as access, frontage, grading improvements, stormwater protection, and so forth which must be met before the final Parcel Map or Tract Map can be filed. An approved Tentative Map does not divide the property, rather it sets the conditions under which the division can occur. To divide the property, one must file a final Parcel Map or Tract Map (i.e., Final Map). 59 Agenda Item # 6.
The attached Final Map is the instrument that divides the property. It must conform to and incorporate all the Tentative Map conditions and must also comply with the standards for Tract Maps or Parcel Maps as set forth in the State Subdivision Map Act. It must also include plans describing the various improvements to the project site and to all other affected properties, including public roadways and public and private utilities.
ANALYSIS
Parcel Map for the development at 705 Vista Grande Avenue conforms to the Tentative Map approved on April 26, 2022. The map and survey have been checked and found satisfactory. All conditions of approval have been complied with and appropriate controls to ensure compliance have been established. All required fees and deposits have been received. The Parcel Map is available in the Development Services Department for inspection.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
June 2015 & October 2023
SUMMARY
City Council created Los Altos Municipal Code 9.25 “Special Events” in March 2007 that governs special events and modified this code section in October 2023. The City sponsors certain special events as outlined in 2015-23. The City Council has directed staff to bring special event sponsorship for discussion 78 Agenda Item # 7.
BACKGROUND
The City Council adopted Los Altos Municipal Code 9.25 “Special Events” in March 2007 that governs special events. In October 2023, the City Council adopted changes to this code section that simplified a confusing code section, retained control over more events on public property, and simplified the special event and block party process.
In 2024, the City received, reviewed, and approved various special event applications. These special event applications vary from one-time events to the weekend-long Art and Wine Festival to the weekly Farmers Market in downtown. They also vary in attendance from large events such as the weekend-long Fine Art in the Park to the multi-minute (depending upon the speed of Los Altos children in any given year) Spring Egg Hunt.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The U.S. Supreme Court recently decided that the city of Boston’s flag raising policy was in violation of an applicant’s First Amendment right to free speech due to insufficient guidance in the policy regarding selection of flags that the city would allow to be flown from city-owned flagpoles. The flying of flags on City-own flagpoles is analogous to the City allowing certain special events to be held on City-owned property. There are two options under consideration for the City.
The first option is to review and revise the City’s Special Event Resolution No. 2015-23 to expressly adopt certain special events as government speech (City speech). Typically, when a government entity opens its property for expressive activities by members of the public, it creates a public forum. In other words, if one person can use the property to exercise his or her right to free speech, then everyone else must be accorded the same right. Content based restrictions on speech are impermissible unless policies are first established that are reasonable considering the purpose served by the forum. However, in Pleasant Grove City v. Summum (2008) 555 U.S. 460, the United States Supreme Court held that this rule does not apply to expressive activity that a government agency adopts as its own speech. Just like private parties, a government agency has a right to use its own property to convey its values, and in doing so the agency does not open its property as a public forum. Thus, the City Council should not authorize certain special events unless the Council is prepared to adopt the event’s message as government speech (City speech).
All recommendations provided by the City Council will be returned at another meeting with a resolution determining that those City-sponsored events qualify as government speech and provide the sponsorship level prescribed by the City Council.
The second option is to prohibit the use of City-owned property and/or any sponsored special events.

87 Agenda Item # 8.
Prior to a special event, City staff gathers a cost estimate for the cost of City services provided for the event, which is discussed during a pre-event meeting and provided to the event organizer in advance of the event. After the event concludes, City staff will put together the cost recap that will calculate the final cost of City services provided for the event and is sent to the event organizer for payment.
The chart above illustrates the relative City cost for special events with one dollar sign being on the lower end for most events that only require an application fee and five dollar signs being the more expensive special events that require larger street closures to operate from the City perspective. The biggest cost is shutting down the street for a special event as that has historically been completed by our Police Department on a minimum overtime or call-out basis.
Moving forward, that may be adjusted as we have a third-party operator who can shut down the street at a lower cost than our sworn Police officers, but it will still be an expense for the special event organizer.
The City Council determines what special events qualify as full-sponsored or half-sponsored events that will not be required to pay a portion or all of their cost for City services. There are two tiers for sponsorship. Full-sponsorship means the City bears the full cost of City services.
Half-sponsorship means that the City bears half the cost of City services and invoices the organization afterward for their half the cost of City services.
Historically, these events have been identified by a resolution of the City Council and was last updated on June 9, 2015 to adjust per Council direction.
Per Resolution 2015-23, the City sponsors the following events at these various levels:
Event City Sponsorship
Festival of Lights Parade 100%
Glorious Fourth Celebration* 100%
Los Altos High School Homecoming Parade 100%
Pet Parade 100%

Veterans’ Day* 50%
88 Agenda Item # 8.
* denotes that the event is now a City-coordinated event so it can be removed from sponsorship list if directed
^ denotes that the event has not happened in at least the last year
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The City Council can alter this list of City-sponsored special events listed in the City’s Special Event Resolution No. 2015-23 by adding or removing any special events they would like to sponsor as City-sponsored events. All recommendations provided by the City Council will be returned at another meeting with a resolution determining that those City-sponsored events qualify as government speech and provide the sponsorship level prescribed by the City Council.
The amount of sponsorship does not affect whether the event is government speech.
The City Council should adopt a policy to provide clear guidance for additional and/or future special events on City-owned property. This policy, like the flag flying policy and its application process, allows City Council to review special event requests and approve them on a case-bycase basis. When a special event is approved, the City Council would be required to adopt the particular event as government speech. Public agencies have the right to free speech on their own property, which means the City Council can convey any event, message, or symbol as their own speech on their own property without opening it into a public forum.
Attached to this agenda report is a draft special event policy that outlines this process moving forward.

EXHIBIT 1
LOS ALTOS SPECIAL EVENT SPONSORSHIP POLICY
City Council has the authority to review special event sponsorship requests and approve them on a case-by-case basis. When a special event sponsorship request is approved, the City Council would be required to adopt the particular event as government speech.
Public agencies have the right to free speech on their own property, which means the City Council can convey any event, message, or symbol as their own speech on their own property without opening it into a public forum. Such authorization by the City Council shall take the form of a resolution, which shall include the following information:
(1) The date or dates on which the event will take place; (2) A finding that the special event constitutes government speech in that the particular message conveyed by the special event is a message that the City Council wishes to express on behalf of the residents of the City;
(3) A statement describing the particular message conveyed by the special event and expressing the reason or reasons the City Council wishes to express that message on behalf of the residents of the City; and
(4) A statement that the resolution is adopted pursuant to this policy and a statement of reasons why the adoption of the resolution is consistent with this policy.
Under no circumstances shall the City Council authorize the sponsorship of a special event that:
(1) Represents a group, organization, or movement that advocates the unlawful overthrow of the state or federal government;
(2) Commemorates a rebellion against the federal government by the government of any state;
(3) Advocates discrimination or intolerance against individuals on the basis of any classification specified in Civil Code Section 51;
(4) Endorses or expresses a preference for any religious sect; (5) Advocates for or against a candidate for public office, a political party, or a ballot measure or proposition;
(6) Is considered highly offensive to persons of average sensitivity within the community; or

PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
December 12, 2023
BACKGROUND
Stormwater Assessment Districts allow communities to focus on the specific improvements that directly benefit the properties within a local watershed. This targeted approach ensures that resources are allocated efficiently, fairly and exactly where needed. An assessment district is a funding mechanism available to property owners who request stormwater improvements.
NBS Government Finance Group (NBS) prepared educational materials regarding the benefits of an assessment district, the process to establish a stormwater assessment district, and the forms associated with this process. Please refer to Attachment 1, 2, and 3, which have been posted to the City’s website.
106
Agenda Item # 9.
ANALYSIS
The process to form a Stormwater Assessment District is a collaborative effort between the City and the property owners. It is a resident-initiated process, with the City providing support. Property owners are responsible for communicating with neighbors and generating support for the proposed assessment within the affected area.
The process consists of the following steps:
1. Determine the community team spokesperson. The project will require leadership among the residents to provide effective communication and coordination. A community team spokesperson needs to be established in order to provide the City with a primary point of contact. The spokesperson will initially be responsible for defining the problem, evaluating the affected properties, and testing local support of the directly affected properties.
2. Submitting the application to the City. The spokesperson will prepare a Stormwater Assessment District formation application with the information from Step 1 and submit to the City.
3. Confirm community support. The spokesperson will distribute a second survey reflecting any changes and the additional information produced in the City review.
4. Formal petition. The City will mail a formal petition to all property owners within the district boundary to confirm support of the preliminary project, cost estimate and proposed assessments. The petition will include the options and/or estimated costs for long-term financing of the proposed assessments.
5. Formation proceedings. The City Council will approve the Engineer’s Report in a public hearing, initiate the formation by mailing a notice of the public hearing and a ballot to each property owner within the district conduct the public hearing and tabulate the ballots.
6. Forms and establish district. If the property owners and the City Council approve the assessment, the City Council will by resolution order the formation and establishment of the assessment district. The assessment will become payable via a short-term cash collection period or may quality for long-term financing.
7. Assessment financing. The assessments may be appropriate for long-term financing. This may take the form of public debt (municipal bonds) or some other form of loan.
DISCUSSION
Following the unsuccessful stormwater funding ballot measures in 2019, the City has received numerous drainage complaints, particularly after major storm events. Staff inspections have determined that many of these issues would require infrastructure or Low Impact Development (LID) projects, which often benefit only a small number of residents. As a result, funding such projects through the City’s general stormwater budget would not be an equitable use of resources.
A Stormwater Assessment District provides a fair solution by allocating costs directly to the properties that benefit from improvements. This approach ensures that resources are used efficiently and prevents individual property owners from bearing the full financial burden of necessary drainage projects.

Agenda Item # 9.
Why a Stormwater Assessment District?
Targeted Improvements:
Stormwater Assessment Districts allow
communities to focus on the specific
improvements that directly benefit the properties
within a local watershed. This targeted approach
ensures that resources are allocated efficiently,
fairly and exactly where needed.
Shared Costs:
Property owners within the district share
the costs of improvements. This spreads the
financial burden and prevents individual property
owners from bearing the full expense of these
projects.
Enhanced Property Values:
Stormwater infrastructure
and related improvements create
safer and more attractive
neighborhoods and can enhance
property values.
Local Control:
Assessment districts
empower local residents to have a
say in the development and
maintenance of their community.
Property owners participate in the
decision-making process related to
funding the improvements.
Strengthened
Community Bonds:
Collaborating on shared
projects fosters a sense of
community and encourages
cooperation among neighbors.
City of
LOS ALTOS
Assessment districts in the City of Los Altos
are almost always initiated by property
owners who are part of a neighborhood that
wants some type of improvement project.
In the 50s and 60s, the requests were typically
for sewer and street improvements (curbs &
gutters). Other uses have included downtown
parking, downtown decorative lighting, and
noise abatement walls. An assessment district
is a funding mechanism available to property
owners who request stormwater
improvements.
The City is providing the following
information to address the funding of specific
local watershed drainage infrastructure needs
via a Stormwater Assessment District.
BACKGROUND BENEFITS
A Stormwater Assessment
District will generally take
between one to three
years to complete. This
timeline starts with the
formal petition and
concludes with the
completion of
construction. The timeline
depends primarily upon
the establishment of the
required level of property
owner support and the
complexity of the
proposed project’s scope
of work.
