TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS June 16, 2022
Staff Report to the City Council
SUBJECT: MOTION TO RE-AUTHORIZE REMOTE TELECONFERENCE
MEETINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE BODIES OF THE TOWN OF LOS
ALTOS HILLS, INCLUDING ALL ASSOCIATED COMMITTEES,
DUE TO THE IMMINENT RISKS TO THE HEALTH AND SAFETY
OF ATTENDEES AND MAKING RELATED FINDINGS PURSUANT
TO AB 361
FROM: Steve Mattas, City Attorney
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council of the Town of Los Altos Hills (“Council”), on behalf of itself and Town Committees make a motion, pursuant to the authority set forth in AB 361 (Government Code Section 54953[e][1]), to re-authorize remote teleconference meetings of all legislative bodies of the Council, including all associated agencies, authorities, and committees, and make related findings pursuant to AB 361.
BACKGROUND:
On September 16, 2021 the Council approved a motion to continue conducting all legislative body meetings through teleconference and made required findings pursuant to AB 361 [Government Code Section 54953(e)(1)]. On October 21, 2021 the Council approved a resolution to continue conducting Council meetings, and all associated committee meetings, remotely due to an ongoing state of emergency and imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees if the meetings are held in person. The Council made findings that the requisite conditions exist for the legislative bodies of the Commission to conduct remote teleconference meetings without compliance with paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of section 54953.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e)(3), in order for all legislative bodies to continue meeting remotely, the Board must declare every 30 days that:
1. The legislative body has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency; and
2. Either the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person, or State or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing.
Emergency conditions persist in Santa Clara County and throughout the state. The Governor’s State of Emergency, declared on March 4, 2020, is ongoing. The local proclamation of emergency, made by the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors on February 10, 2020 ratifying the Santa Clara County Health Officer’s declaration of a AGENDA ITEM #4.D
2 local health emergency due to COVID-19, continues to exist until its termination is proclaimed by the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors. On March 19, 2020, the Council proclaimed a local emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic and has continued to confirm the existence of a local emergency.
Due to the continued threat of COVID-19, the Council continues to implement multiple layers of protection against COVID-19, including physical distancing, for the safety of employees and members of the public. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) continues to recommend physical distancing of at least six (6) feet from others outside of the household. Because of the rise in cases due to the Delta variant of COVID19, the Council is concerned about the health and safety of all individuals who intend to attend meetings of the Town’s legislative bodies, including City Council and advisory body and committee meetings. The ongoing state of emergency related to COVID-19, as declared by the Governor, the County Board of Supervisors, and Council, continues to directly impact the ability of members of the legislative bodies of the Council to meet safely in person, due to imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees if the meetings are held in person.
DISCUSSION:
It is recommended that the Council, on behalf of itself and its committees, make a motion, pursuant to the authority set forth in AB 361 (Government Code Section 54953[e][1]), to re-authorize remote teleconference meetings of all legislative bodies of the Council, including all associated advisory bodies, agencies, authorities, and committees, due to the ongoing state of emergency and imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees if the meetings are held in person.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no additional fiscal impact to continue remote teleconference meetings.

2. Broadband that is Ubiquitous: Sufficient and reliable broadband access must be available everywhere in the state, from the most rural areas, including tribal lands, to the most populated urban areas, including all low-income households. Public broadband investments should be prioritized to connect entire communities and address digital redlining in historically unserved and underserved communities.
3. Broadband that is Affordable: Internet service plans must be affordable for all Californians, regardless of geographic location or household income.

WHEREAS, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits sex discrimination in all areas of education, protecting students and staff in any educational institution that receives federal funds; and WHEREAS, Title IX has, in the 50 years since its passage, expanded opportunities for women and girls in sports and in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields and improved protections for pregnant and parenting students; and
WHEREAS, despite progress under Title IX, according to AAUW research, 56% of female students and 40% of male students grades 7-12 and two-thirds of college students experience sexual harassment; and WHEREAS, despite progress under Title IX, girls have 1.2 million fewer chances to play sports in high school than boys, and less than two-thirds of Black and Hispanic girls play sports, while more than threequarters of white girls do; and WHEREAS, despite progress under Title IX, only 21% of engineering majors and 19% of computer science majors are women, and the rate of women’s enrollment in certain nontraditional careers remains at low levels, with some fields well below 25% in women’s representation; and WHEREAS, despite progress under Title IX, pregnant and parenting students are often steered toward separate, less rigorous schools; and WHEREAS, the U.S. Department of Education announced in 2021 that it would interpret and enforce Title IX to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and on gender identity, an important step to ensure protections for LGBTQ+ students; and
WHEREAS, Title IX must be strengthened and vigorously enforced to protect students’ civil rights, NOW, THEREFORE, I, George K. Tyson, Mayor of the Town of Los Altos Hills, on behalf of the Town of Los Altos Hills City Council do hereby proclaim Thursday, June 23, 2022:
THE 50th ANNIVERSARY OF TITLE IX OF THE EDUCATION AMENDMENTS OF 1972, and the Los Altos Hills City Council urges the citizens of Los Altos Hills, California to support passage of the Gender Equity in Education Act, which would codify protections designed to help students address sex discrimination in all areas of education and ensure educational institutions have the resources needed to comply with Title IX regulations.

AGENDA ITEM #4.G
TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS June 16, 2022
Staff Report to the City Council
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION MODIFYING AN EXISTING OPEN SPACE EASEMENT TO ACCOMMODATE AN ADU AT 13480 WILDCREST DRIVE WITH NO
REDUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF EASEMENT AREA.
FROM: Steve Padovan, Principal Planner
APPROVED: Peter Pirnejad, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:
Approve a Resolution (Attachment 1) to modify an existing open space easement to accommodate an ADU at 13480 Wildcrest Drive with no reduction in the amount of easement area.
BACKGROUND
The subject property is a 1.91-acre lot located on the west side of the street near the end of Wildcrest Drive. The Planning Commission approved Site Development Permit 90-05-ZP-SD-GD for a new residence on July 14, 2005. As required by the Conditions of Approval, an open space easement was recorded on 0.57 acres along the southerly portion of the property on February 17, 2006 (see Attachment 2). The area within the yellow line is the approximate location of the current open space easement area.

AGENDA ITEM #4.H
Report to City Council Page 2
Easement Modification at 13480 Wildcrest Drive
June 16, 2022
The residence, large ground mounted photovoltaic array, pool and decks were all constructed concurrently, and the project was completed in 2008.
The property was purchased by the present owner in 2016. The owner submitted a building permit application for an ADU (BLD21-0538) on September 23, 2021. Per state law and the Town’s Zoning Ordinance, ADUs are reviewed and approved ministerially, and a Site Development Permit is not required. Upon review by staff and the Town’s building plan check consultant, the building permit was issued on February 7, 2022.
After construction had begun, staff received a comment from an attorney representing an adjacent property owner stating that the foundation for the new ADU appeared to be located in the recorded open space easement on the subject property. Staff located the recorded document, contacted the owner’s representative, and construction and inspections were placed on hold pending conformation of the easement boundary. Once it had been determined that the ADU was in fact in the easement, staff provided the owner with options on how to resolve the issue. The owner chose to retain the location of the ADU and an application for an easement modification was submitted in March 2022.
GENERAL PLAN COMPLIANCE
Pursuant to General Plan Land Use Element, Goal 2, Policy 2.5, steep slopes, canyons and ravines generally in excess of 30% slope, as well as natural swales and drainage channels, and geologic hazard areas within areas designated for residential development, shall be left undisturbed and preserved in their natural condition to the maximum extent feasible.
PROPOSED OPEN SPACE EASEMENT MODIFICATION
The recorded “Agreement for Open Space Easement” covers 24,979 square feet, or 0.57 acres of the
1.91-acre lot. The modified easement proposal will remove 2,640 square feet from the existing easement area for the ADU and add 2,647 square feet, resulting in a net gain of seven (7) square feet.
In summary, the area between the new ADU and the ground mounted solar panels will be added to the existing easement and the easement area will be extended to the roadway (see Attachment 3).
These areas encompass slopes with slopes that are approximately 30%. The area being modified is further described in Exhibits A through F of the Resolution.
DISCUSSION
The existing residence, pool, decks/patios, parking, driveway and PV solar array are located on the northerly half of the property and encompass a large portion of the available development area that is not in a front or side yard setback, nor in the open space easement. The location of the ADU on a slope below the main house was selected by the owner as a location that would disturb the fewest trees and would be screened by existing vegetation. Planning staff reviewed the ADU location during the building plan check process but did not have knowledge of the recorded easement and the easement is not currently shown on the Town’s GIS database as the easements layer is not yet complete. In addition, the owner and their representative did not appear to have any knowledge of the open space easement.
Report to City Council Page 3
Easement Modification at 13480 Wildcrest Drive
June 16, 2022
Once the owner made the decision to modify the easement area and provide the legal descriptions and plat maps, staff requested that the Open Space Committee place the easement modification on their June 1, 2022 meeting agenda.
At the June 1st meeting, the Open Space Committee discussed the proposal and voted to support the modifications. Additionally, the committee members voiced their concerns about the need to have all open space easements included within the Town’s GIS database.
CONCLUSION
The proposed modified easement area will not reduce the amount of open space under protection and the added area will place the entire southwesterly side of the property within the easement. No heritage trees were removed and the ADU is in a location that is at least 80 feet from the nearest residence. Staff acknowledges that additional research should have been done to ensure that the proposed ADU was not in an open space easement and that data on all recorded easements in the Town needs to be uploaded to the Town’s GIS database to prevent this situation from occurring in the future, especially now that ADUs and SB 9 units must be approved ministerially. Furthermore, staff is compiling an Excel spreadsheet on all existing and newly recorded easements to provide an additional screening procedure as a back-up.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
2022 CITY COUNCIL STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
The modification of existing open space easements is not identified as one of the Council’s priorities for 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact. Any expenditures to record the document are included in the department’s current budget.

SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO
AN AGREEMENT WITH GOVERNMENT TECHNOLOGY GROUP, LLC
FOR BROADBAND CONSULTING SERVICES AND APPROPRIATING
$95,000 FROM THE UNRESERVED GENERAL FUND FOR FY 2022-23 FROM: Cody Einfalt, Management Analyst II
APPROVED: Peter Pirnejad, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council should:
Adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to:
1. Enter into an agreement with Government Technology Group, LLC for broadband consulting services and appropriating $95,000 from the unreserved general fund for FY 2022-23; and
2. Deprioritizing the update to the Town’s website until later this or early next year as part of the City Council’s 2022 Strategic Priorities
BACKGROUND:
At the May 25, 2022 City Council meeting, the Council discussed a recommendation from staff to enter into an agreement with Government Technology Group, LLC (GTG) for a fiber optic feasibility study. The staff report from this meeting can be reviewed in Attachment 2.
In preparation for this meeting, staff solicited proposals from several broadband consultants and recommended GTG as the consultant for the Town. However, the Technology Committee had yet to review GTG’s proposal and the Council passed a motion to continue the item to allow for an additional review by the Technology Standing Committee.
At the June 1, 2022 Special Technology Standing Committee meeting, which included the Broadband Ad Hoc Committee, the two broadband consultants that submitted proposals were given a chance to discuss their work plan. After deliberation on the options, the Committee passed two motions (Attachment 4):
• Motion: Technology Committee recommends that the Town move forward with the Government Technology Group proposal. Passed unanimously, 7-0. • Motion: Request Town Staff to check references for GTG and require changes in the scope of the proposal to include multiple options beyond fiber (including wireless connectivity). Passed: 6-0 (one committee member not present for this vote) AGENDA ITEM #4.I

Staff took these two recommendations and worked with GTG to revise their proposal for the Town.
Attachment 3 is an updated agreement and proposal between the Town and GTG.
DISCUSSION:
The updated proposal has two differences:
1. The name of the proposal changed from “Strategic Fiber Optic Feasibility Study” to “Strategic Broadband Feasibility Study”; and
2. The scope of services has expanded to include the following section:
The future of broadband is trending towards hybrid networks incorporating both fiber and wireless technologies. Wireless technologies that will be investigated and researched for feasibility include but are not limited to:
• Satellite
• Wi-Fi
• CBRS - Citizens Band Radio Service, aka private LTE
• Microwave
• Terragraph type systems - neighborhood mesh network
Below are reference checks from other municipalities. Only positive reviews were received. See below:

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The proposed Strategic Fiber Optic Feasibility Study is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) due to the proposal not being defined as a “project” under CEQA. 2022 CITY COUNCIL STRATEGIC PRIORITIES:
The proposal from GTG for a broadband feasibility study was not envisioned earlier in the year at the time of the Council’s priority setting session for 2022. Should the Council authorize the broadband study, one of the key projects listed for the City Manager’s Office will need to be deprioritizing for the remaining months of the calendar year. Staff recommends deprioritizing the update to the Town’s website.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposal from GTG is listed at $74,685. There is an optional cost breakdown for project management services of an RFI or RFQ should the Town wish to engage GTG in developing a public private partnership solution, priced at $19,500. Staff recommends budgeting for this additional expense, which brings the total cost of the proposal to $94,185. Staff has rounded this number to $95,000.
Should any authorized work occur outside of the fixed free proposal, GTG will only bill for actual hours worked at a rate of $195 per hour.
There are currently no funds available in the FY 2022-23 budget for this study. Should the Council wish to proceed with GTG, an appropriation of $95,000 from the unreserved general fund will need to be approved. Otherwise, council can include this amount in the FY 2022-23 budget prior to adoption at the June 16th City Council meeting.

Staff Report to the City Council
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION OF BROADBAND PLANNING IN TOWN AND TO: FIRST,
DIRECT STAFF ON HOW TO ADVANCE FURTHER COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS RELATED TO BROADBAND, AND SECOND,
ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO
ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH GOVERNMENT TECHNOLOGY
GROUP, LLC FOR BROADBAND CONSULTING SERVICES FOR AN
AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $95,000
FROM: Cody Einfalt, Management Analyst II
APPROVED: Peter Pirnejad, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council should:
1. Receive the report and advise staff on how to proceed with further community engagement regarding broadband.
2. Review staff’s recommendation and move forward with entering into an agreement with Government Technology Group, LLC for broadband consulting services for an amount not to exceed $95,000 or provide alternative direction on how to proceed.
BACKGROUND:
Access to a reliable internet connection is limited in many areas of Town. Low density and large lots have left major internet providers such as Comcast and AT&T little incentive to construct the infrastructure needed to provide service to properties throughout Town. These providers have openly stated that they are willing to install the infrastructure to those who inquire, however the financial burden falls on the individual customer. This often leads residents with proposals of up to $100,000 to bring internet to their homes.
In response to this situation, Los Altos Hills Community Fiber (LAHCF), a community-based organization in Town, was formed to provide an alternative for residents looking for broadband internet service. To assist this group, On August 19, 2021, the Town entered into a Master Access Agreement with LAHCF for the construction and operation of a fiber optic network within the Town’s public right-of-way. This agreement allowed LAHCF to expand its broadband service within Town owned easements. The agreement also educated staff to the complexity of the broadband industry in municipal government.
Town staff soon became aware that they lacked the specific knowledge and expertise to navigate the broadband discussion and began reaching out to consultants who specialize working with government entities on this issue. Below is a list of firms that staff contacted for proposals:
AGENDA ITEM #5.B

May 25, 2022
2 • Joint Venture Silicon Valley
• Magellan Advisors
• Entry Point Networks
• Cruzio Internet
• Ting Internet
• Government Technology Group, LLC
Of the six groups that staff met with, only two submitted a proposal to the Town: Joint Venture Silicon Valley and Government Technology Group, LLC. This is in large part because many government agencies are experiencing similar pressure to provide broadband and firms such as these are in high demand. Therefore, many of the firms are already engaged with other municipalities and have stated they cannot take on new projects.
The Emerging Tech Ad Hoc Committee saw this as an important topic and brought it forward to discuss during their January 17 and February 11 meetings. At these meetings, staff discussed the need to acquire the technical bench strength in this field in order to advise staff and the Council on how best to proceed with broadband deployment, as well as creative ways to support LAHCF in their efforts. At the same meetings staff shared Joint Venture Silicon Valley’s proposal and received comments from individuals within LAHCF as well as representatives of the Emerging Tech Ad Hoc Committee. Both representatives from LAHCF and the Emerging Technology Ad Hoc Committee were generally supportive of Town securing technical expertise in the area of broadband but were less supportive of the Town building out its own broadband network.
Community Engagement Efforts:
To compliment the efforts of staff, and given the Town’s vast network of volunteers, on January 20, 2022, the City Council passed a motion to conclude the Emerging Tech Ad Hoc Committee and form the Technology Standing committee. This Committee, named the Technology Committee, was directed by the Council to advise them and staff on policies, initiatives, and practices related to innovation and technology that could enhance services to the public and increase efficiencies. Investigating broadband access in Los Altos Hills and helping support Los Altos Hills Community Fiber was one of their policy areas.
On April 13, 2022, the Technology Committee met and discussed the proposal from Joint Venture Silicon Valley, which was the only proposal received at that time. Following a discussion of the proposal and a broader discussion of broadband needs in Town, two motions were passed (Attachment 3):
• Motion: Develop a broadband access master plan that meets the needs of the Town’s residents in the most cost-effective manner with universal availability. Given the Town’s terrain, lot sizes, and access issues, it is recommended to have a multiplicity of providers
• Motion: The Technology Committee supports the City Manager’s proposal to hire a consultant, at reasonable cost, to help develop a master plan for broadband access in the Town.

May 25, 2022
3 From discussions that occurred at the Technology Committee meetings and given the complexity of the broadband issue, on April 21, 2022, the City Council passed a motion to form an ad hoc committee specifically focused on broadband. The Ad Hoc Committee is comprised of Council members Kavita Tankha and Stan Mok and they were charged with advancing the discussion, soliciting community input and continuing the work done by previous committees.
On April 19th the City Manager was invited to attend the LAHCF Board meeting where again he explained the need for technical bench strength and the need for professional experts in the area of broadband to support the Town’s effort to promote broadband. The City Manager explained that it was the council’s intent to promote broadband and include LAHCF. That being said, the Town staff was preparing to move forward with a recommendation to the City Council to award a contract to a consulting firm that can help make that happen. The City Manager explained that LAHCF’s concerns, and recommendations, along with other feedback, would be considered when selecting a consultant. At that meeting there was also discussion about the need for additional legal opinions about the use of PUE’s, municipal code amendments and other legal opinions that would help LAHCF continue to make progress on their broadband deployment. The City Manager explained that legal expertise in the area of broadband would be sought as part of a larger effort to create a team of experts to help advise the Town staff and Council.
The Broadband Ad Hoc Committee met three times since they were formed at the April 21 City Council meeting. The first meeting on May 2 was to provide the Ad Hoc Committee an overview of the work that had been done up to date on broadband. This included discussion about the funds that were set aside by the ARPA Ad Hoc Committee, made up of Councilmembers Mok and Schmidt, which identified $800K in support of broadband deployment. At the meeting of the Broadband Ad Hoc Committee, staff also identified the consultants that were reviewed and the proposals that were received. The Ad Hoc Committee asked to have interviews with each of the consultants to learn more about their qualifications and approach to their proposal. The next two meetings of the Broadband Ad Hoc Committee were held to interview the two consultants. On May 9th they interviewed Joint Venture Silicon Valley and on May 10th they interviewed the Government Technology Group.
Staff feels that additional engagement and community input is required as the Town continues to find a path forward with the goal of making broadband universally available throughout the Town. The Broadband Ad Hoc Committee should continue to solicit community feedback and opinion on this topic. Therefore, the staff is recommending that additional outreach and community engagement be supported by the City Council and that the Broadband Ad Hoc Committee be the focal point of that outreach and that they update the Council and community during regular Council meetings. The community, the two members of the Broadband Ad Hoc Committee and the Council should be aware of the structure and parameters of the Ad Hoc Committee and ensure there is an appropriate level of transparency, community engagement and involvement. Since the Ad Hoc Committee is not a brown act committee, the Council members assigned to the Broadband Ad Hoc Committee can decide when to meet, who to invite, and when to share the results of the meeting.

4 Recommendation To Engage Broadband Consultant:
As a result of the community engagement outlined above, staff feels they have the feedback needed to make a recommendation to request Council to authorize staff to enter into a contract with a qualified broadband expert. Upon the conclusion of our outreach and interviews staff recommends the council authorize staff to enter into a contract with the Gov Tech Group. They were open in their approach and alternatives to how they might advise the Town and work with LAHCF to support broadband deployment in Los Altos Hills. They were responsive to the needs expressed by the LAHCF Board, the Emerging Tech Ad Hoc Committee, the Technology Standing Committee, and it is staff’s opinion that they were responsive to the need for flexibility openmindedness that was expressed during the Broadband Ad Hoc Committee. They also have the qualifications and credentials to advise the Town and staff on how to navigate efforts related to broadband deployment.
It should be noted that staff also had three individual meetings with both consultants before making this recommendation and feels that the Gov Tech Group had a more complete and responsive proposal. This will satisfy staff’s need for technical experts in order to continue to support LAHCF as well as advise the City Council on how to proceed.
Currently, the proposals staff received have been left without a response from the Town and staff feels that the Town should respect the time and attention the two consultants have invested into their proposals. If the Council directs staff to engage in more outreach and analysis before a consultant is selected it would be helpful to understand what has been done to date and what the Council might suggest be a path forward so staff can plan accordingly. Staff would just ask the council to be mindful that the consultants we have engaged so far may not be available if we delay our selection process. Therefor staff would have to start the selection process from scratch which will take several months.
Staff and the Council have received public input that additional discussion and transparency should happen before a decision is made. In the interest of these requests for more transparency staff is bring this forward to an open meeting to describe all the outreach and community engagement that has already happened.
It is staff’s position that the public outreach efforts used to date have solicited a wide range of perspectives and attempts to bring forward a consultant with the technical strength to advise the Council. Selecting a consultant would be in the best interest of the Council and the community to help make decisions and understand the options and ramifications of the direction the Town may want to pursue. A broadband consultant would help advise the Council how the Town can support LAHCF with the ultimate goal of securing broadband for the entire Town as quickly, equitably and as cost effectively as possible.
DISCUSSION:
Attachment 2 is the proposed agreement between the Town and Government Technology Group, LLC for a strategic fiber optic feasibility study.
Staff Report to City Council Page 5

May 25, 2022
5 The scope of work submitted by Government Technology Group, LLC (GTG) is to complete a strategic fiber optic study. This type of study is different than a master plan in the sense that a strategic study only includes a high-level design for a broadband network. Master plans include more elaborate engineering details such as materials and construction specific information.
The study is broken down into 12 parts. On the following page is a high-level summary of the proposal.
Work Item Proposed Short Description
1. Project Management Meetings Bi-weekly meeting with staff, hosting workshops, and interviews with the
community.
2. Asset Inventory Conduct an inventory to understand current infrastructure that can be leveraged for this
project.
3. Technology and Trends Review The firm maintains a presence in many forums and groups that help influence the direction of
broadband. This knowledge can be applied in
Town.
4. Broadband Availability and Market
Analysis
Research to understand the current providers in
Town, what are their costs, and barriers to
providing service.
5. Needs and Goals Assessment Interview stakeholders within Town to determine the needs of each group: community
groups, focus groups, major employers, etc.
6. Policy Assessment Making sure Los Altos Hills has the policies and practices in place to ensure the Town is
protected and behaving in a legally responsible
and fiduciary manner.
7. Gap Analysis Document and compare the current
infrastructure with the network that will be
needed to meet the goals of the Town.
8. High-level Broadband Design
Conceptual Routing
Create a High-level Design to expand
broadband in Town that will explain the most
efficient, direct, and cost-effective
construction methods.
9. Business Model & Financial Analysis Develop the findings of the study into a business model that fits the financial,
Staff Report to City Council Page 6

6 operational, and organizational requirements
of Los Altos Hills which will have the highest
likelihood of success.
10. Phased Implementation Plan Present the core strategies to develop a fiber optic communications study that supports
Smart City/ the Internet of Things initiatives.
11. Grants and Funding Opportunities Research Grant opportunities for the Town.
12. Finals Report and Presentation A final presentation summarizing the methodology, findings, and recommendations.
One service that is not included within GTG’s proposal is legal services in relation to specific broadband questions that the Town may have. This service falls outside of GTGs expertise; however, they recommend engaging with a specialized broadband law firm to help ensure any policies and solutions approved provide the City with defensibility against broadband providers in the area.
GTG proposal includes research, planning, and design for a broadband solution that works for Los Altos Hills’ community, whereas a supplemental broadband law firm will review policies to support the Town. The law firm can help guide the Town on the defensibility against broadband service providers in the community and to protect/limit the City’s exposure from abandonment or takeover of a long-term solution.
GTG has already referred the Town to several broadband law firms. Should the Council wish to engage with a broadband law firm, an agreement may come back to Council at a subsequent meeting.
Staff contacted other municipalities GTG has worked with for reference checks and only received positive reviews. Below is from the City of Moreno Valley where GTG completed a Fiber Master Plan.

The proposal includes an additional cost breakdown for project management of an RFI or RFQ should the Town wish to engage GTG in developing a public private partnership solution, priced at $19,500. Staff recommends including this cost for budgeting purposes, which brings the total cost of the proposal to $94,185. Staff has rounded this number to $95,000.
Should any authorized work occur outside of the fixed fee proposal, GTG will only bill for actual hours worked at a rate of $195 per hour.
There are currently no funds available in the FY2021-22 budget for this study, and currently there are no funds to cover this large of a contract within the proposed FY2022-23 budget.
Should the Council wish to proceed with GTG, the Council can make a recommendation at the Joint FIC/City Council Budget Meeting on May 26, 2022, to include $95,000 in the FY2022-23 operating budget for this proposal.

Copyright© Government Technology Group (GTG) 2022. All rights reserved. Page| 3 Executive Summary/Project Understanding
The Government Technology Group is pleased to have the opportunity to play a vital role in helping the Town of Los Altos explore a competitive, reliable and cost-effective fiber optic communications system to benefit its residents and provide for a state-of-the-art technology infrastructure for improved service delivery to achieve cost efficiencies and increased productivity. Fiber infrastructure enables innovation in business and operational processes and users are demanding new communications speeds to simplify or speed their work. Fiber infrastructure provides efficient error free communications that allows for real time sharing of information between City facilities, including traffic signals and public safety while improving Internet services for its community including residents, businesses (commercial and industrial), schools, and health services.
Government Technology Group LLC (GTG), a consulting group of former, local government CIO’s and IT leaders, with the support of our advisor Young Fiber, a firm with extensive fiber optic planning experience, will provide the Town of Los Altos Hills a Strategic Fiber Optic Feasibility Study that will assist in the City’s ability to obtain funding, improve access/inclusivity, provide high speed communications that are reliable at a reasonable cost. The Feasibility Study will be designed with input from current local Internet Service providers and business and community stakeholders. The results will provide a fiber optic network solution that will improve innovation and be positioned for future Smart City solutions and support for the Internet of things (IoT).
We will accomplish this through a structured, phased approach that builds on the earlier stages and findings to discover and resolve foundational gaps in the communications needs of the city with recommendations, road maps and prioritizations to support a City-wide fiber optic network. The information in the Fiber Optic Feasibility study will be a collaborative effort with City staff, local community groups, businesses, and residents through conversations, surveys, meetings, workshops, and reviews, supplemented by subject matter expertise and awareness of industry best practices and evolving trends. Extensive communication is key, and our project initiation process ensures that joint expectations are fully understood and met throughout the project with regular meetings and reporting. Our schedule, a work plan of thirty weeks, is exemplary of how each project phase is memorialized in a milestone and is flexible to meet City staffing and operational requirements. Background preparatory activities for each milestone will be continuous throughout the project to meet the stated objectives and deliverables.
As technology leaders in our recent organizations and now in consulting, GTG provides significant, hands-on project experience delivering technology advancement in cities, agencies, and districts, working with public funds while answering to City Councils and Boards of Directors. We have had the responsibility to design, plan and implement complex fiber infrastructure and network projects.
We have a proven track record of accomplishing our objectives. Recent projects include fiber master plans, fiber optic assessments, network upgrades, cybersecurity, telephony, ERP implementations, enterprise content document management systems, websites, SCADA networks and security, CMMS asset management systems, and cloud office systems, among others. We have been successful through partnering with the user communities to accomplish these projects.
Young Fiber has a long history of successful design and implementation of fiber optic and broadband plans for local government agencies.

The plan will assist with the rapid growth of the Internet of Things and the need for Smart City services due to the proliferation of connected devices, including utility assets, streetlights, traffic signals and surveillance cameras. In addition to this, the plan will enhance economic development, education, health care and the quality of life for its residents and businesses while allowing the City to target investments and develop capabilities that contribute to achieving strategic and organizational objectives. The Plan will guide and enable decisions on how Fiber Optic technologies support City and community needs. In addition, it will enhance operational and business processes and help staff collaborate within and across divisional boundaries. The plan will lay out steps for the City to use broadband services to improve efficiencies in delivering services to its community including broadband friendly policies that support the Town wide Fiber Optic/Broadband Master Plan.

Copyright© Government Technology Group (GTG) 2022. All rights reserved. Page| 8 Project Approach
GTG’s fiber optic/broadband planning methodology is built on the combined experience of our group in delivering services to public agencies. GTG will perform an assessment of the Town of Los Altos Hills’s current infrastructure, assets and providers and identify the strengths and weaknesses of the current state. The fiber optic assessment activities will provide the foundation upon which the Fiber Optic/Broadband Feasibility Study will be built.
The principal consultants that will be involved with this project have completed a number of projects similar to the one proposed. Below is a list of Broadband Master Plans/Assessments that were completed by our team:
Verizon One Fiber – Concord UACE 5G Deployment 2016 – 2019 (Private Sector) 600+ mile overbuild
City of Indio – Fiber Master Plan 2020 – 2021
North Arizona Council of Governments – Middle Mile Network Plan 2020 – 2021 City of Modesto – Fiber Planning - 1998
City of Merced – Regional Fiber Planning – 2003
Hayward Unified School District – Fiber Optic Plan - 2013 City of San Leandro – Wireless Master Plan - 2013
City of Concord – Fiber Optic Master Plan – 2017
GTG’s methodology will be focused on the involvement and interaction with the public and stakeholders, including residents, local businesses, education, and health services providers in addition to working with broadband providers. GTG’s Master Planning methodology creates processes that yield positive results. GTG’s proposed work plan includes several phases that build upon one another through actions and technical reports that ultimately become part of the Town of Los Altos Hills’ Fiber Optic Feasibility Study.
The first phase establishes the foundation for effective communication and the successful completion of the project.
The second phase focuses the assessment on the Town of Los Altos Hills’ current environment and how fiber optic communications support the City’s needs while identifying gaps, opportunities, and long term provision of a broadband communications system.
The next phase builds the tools and vision for the future of Los Altos Hills including high level design, cost, and funding analysis. Here workshops and road maps contribute to the understanding of how that future can be achieved.
The final step, which follows a structured methodology to develop a Strategic Fiber Optic Feasibility Study that is supported by the information gathered in the “Assessment” and “Vision” phases to develop actionable recommendations and projections for future broadband improvements that supports residents, local business, regionalism, and Smart City technologies.

PROJECT INITIATION
Planning Meeting
The purpose of this phase is to share our proposed work plan and schedule. This stage includes confirming GTG’s understanding, as well as the understanding of the stakeholders, regarding the scope of work and the process for accomplishing the overall objectives of the project.
GTG will meet with Los Altos Hills’s Project Manager and other key staff to refine and confirm the detailed scope of work, project timeline, deliverables, project status reporting methods, project participants (i.e., sponsor, subject matter experts, technical resources, etc.), and other items to ensure a well-planned project. During this step, we will tentatively build with Los Altos Hills the workshop attendance lists.
Based on GTG’s experience on similar projects, project timeline, the project schedule shall be refined with the project manager from Los Altos Hills. The success of achieving this schedule largely depends on the availability, participation, and knowledge of Los Altos Hills’ assigned staff. GTG will submit monthly progress reports to Los Altos Hills showing completion progress for each task and associated subtasks.
Deliverables: Draft and Final Project Plan.
Project Initiation Meeting
Since the project will have an organization-wide impact, it is important to proactively communicate with all impacted staff to ensure a clear understanding of project goals and objectives, roles and responsibilities, approach, tasks, and timeline. This meeting also provides the opportunity to introduce the GTG personnel to Los Altos Hills staff and should involve senior level management and project sponsors. It is important that all Los Altos Hills staff that will be involved in the project, regardless of their role, participate in the Project Initiation Meeting.
Deliverable: Project Initiation Meeting
DISCOVERY - ASSESSMENT PHASE
In this step, GTG will work closely with the organization’s fiber optic stakeholders, local community groups, businesses, residents, broadband providers, healthcare services and education to perform a comprehensive assessment of existing fiber optic and communications in place, including gaps that will identify current strengths/weaknesses, and high-level documentation of existing agency communications. GTG will conduct surveys to assess and determine overall satisfaction in terms of broadband and broadband service delivery and support. These surveys provide a mechanism that provides all broadband users input into future fiber communication needs. They also provide a more granular look into the actual broadband deployments in the city and highlight areas that may need more focus. GTG will document the Town of Los Altos Hills’ future vision for the use of broadband including Smart City technology. This will result in a gap analysis between that vision and the current fiber infrastructure realities.
209.678.3077 ♦ [email protected]
Copyright© Government Technology Group (GTG) 2022. All rights reserved. Page| 10 Gathering information on all city and private assets to incorporate into the plan. The more infrastructure and assets the most cost effective the build will be, also can be leverage for partnerships. Some of the assets include:
● Asset Inventory - City owned conduits, fiber, abandoned infrastructure, building space, equipment, future capital improvement projects, any other assets o Private assets include conduits, current fiber cables, future plans for fiber or conduit, cabinet space, co-location space, etc.
● Stakeholder Outreach – Finding any assets, needs, partnership opportunities, anchor tenants, and what support exists for improved Los Altos Hills broadband communications.
The assessment phase will also include the following:
● Market Analysis – Gaining an understanding of the local broadband offerings, city needs, point of presence to connect to internet, needs of the residents and businesses. ● Governance Discussion – Developing a plan for the structure of the governance and management of the Los Altos Hills broadband system. Depending on analysis and findings, governance could include overseeing a broadband partnership, managing structure, and general overseeing of the assets as deemed necessary.
These evaluative considerations will become a part of a framework to ensure current and future technology projects meet Los Altos Hills’s needs and can be supported long term including abandonment or transfer of assets protection if deemed necessary.
In those areas where the assessment provides an inventory of opportunities, GTG will provide one or more recommended actions, an assessment as to the relative priority of each recommendation, and an action plan that considers the relative importance of each recommendation and a recommended timeframe for implementation. The recommendation will also include potential partnership opportunities to assist in the speedy implementation of the action items.
VISION PHASE
The culmination of the assessment of the current environment, combined with the needs and goals of all the stakeholders, the next phase focuses on planning the future with a supporting fiber optic network. The vision requires an understanding of the needs, goals, and funding opportunities the Town of Los Altos Hills will be able to leverage to complete the overall project goals and objectives.
CITYWIDE STRATEGIC FIBER OPTIC FEASIBILITY STUDY
GTG will incorporate work products and memorandums from previous tasks as the foundation for the development of Los Altos Hills’s Fiber Optic/Broadband Feasibility Study. GTG will use this information, as well as other information provided by staff and independent research, to create an actionable draft of the Master Plan and review it with Los Altos Hills. Upon completion and acceptance of the final Strategic Fiber Optic Feasibility Study, GTG will give a professional presentation summary to multiple audiences, including the Executive Team and the City Council as requested.

Copyright© Government Technology Group (GTG) 2022. All rights reserved. Page| 12 Quality Assurance/Quality Control Program
GTG follows the Project Management Book of Knowledge waterfall process to monitor and manage quality control. This includes creating approval criteria and setting quality standards during the initiating phase, deciding on what to focus on and building quality into the project during the planning phase, tracking status reporting and change control during the Executing, Monitoring and Controlling phase and documenting lessons learned and importing documents during the closing phase as outlined in the following image.
The following five steps will be used during the four phases of the project management process to develop a quality control process:
Phase I – Initiating
Step 1. Set your quality standards.
Phase II - Planning
Step 2. Decide which quality standards to focus on.
This allows your agency and GTG to ensure quality in all aspects of the project by focusing on the most important measures — those that have the biggest effect on your agency and your customer

Prior to the kickoff, GTG will put together a Project Management Plan (PMP) including a project outline, timeframe, deliverables, and other milestones. After the meeting, based on feedback from the stakeholders GTG will revise the PMP accordingly.
2. Asset Inventory
We will conduct an asset inventory to gain an understanding of the current infrastructure that can be leveraged for this project. These assets include but not limited to:
● Any existing conduit, abandoned infrastructure, traffic signal interconnect, or other underground infrastructure
● City or community group owned fiber optic cables including access points o With strand count and availability
o Taking into account foothills and line of sight issues ● Any building or cabinet space available for cable terminations and patch panels ● Traffic lights
● Streetlights
● Any existing wi-fi access points
● All camera locations: Public safety, Traffic, Automatic License Plate Readers, and/or Building security cameras
● Any capital improvement projects
● Site list of all facilities to connect to the network ● GIS maps including City-owned property, right of way, easements ● Economic development zones, low/moderate income areas, un/underserved areas ● Other as needed
GTG can utilize this information in any form including GIS, PDF, Excel, Word, Pictures, KMZ, etc. This information will be requested as soon as possible after the project begins and put into a master GIS
209.678.3077 ♦ [email protected]
Copyright© Government Technology Group (GTG) 2022. All rights reserved. Page A -2 database. The GIS database will be turned over to the city upon completion of the project.
GTG will also use the available contacts and websites to gain an understanding of the existing fiber throughout Los Altos Hills that could be leveraged as part of the Feasibility Study. This includes working with local community groups and their fiber networks. Local Internet Service Providers (ISPs) will be contacted as well with the hopes of gaining an understanding of their current networks and future plans for the area. It is assumed that most providers will not share maps of their networks for proprietary reasons but in the spirit of the project they will typically verbally share information that can be used in the study. The analysis will include as much of this information as possible and will lead to a better understanding of the local networks and how the community is being served and show the inequalities that exist in all markets. These talks should yield an understanding to both the city and the providers of the current needs of the community and a greater understanding of how to solve these issues. The providers will also have needs and goals that should be considered in the designing of the network as they too are stakeholders in Los Altos Hills and should be viewed that way.
After all this information is collected and put into a comprehensive map, GTG will conduct a gap analysis indicating the areas of the city that will require new broadband and/or fiber optic infrastructure to extend services where needed/desired.
3. Technology and Trends Review
Our team of experts maintain a presence in many forums and groups that help influence the direction of broadband. These nationwide groups: current state of broadband, what technologies have been successful and not successful. They are knowledgeable about the trends that are helping municipalities become smarter and more efficient, and the types of networks needed to support these technologies.
The internet of things, or IoT, is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals, or people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
IoT is quickly becoming such an integral part of our lives. IoT is the innovation that is bringing together various smart systems, frameworks, intelligent devices, and sensors meant to make our lives better, more efficient, safer, longer, and easier.
We will bring this knowledge to the Town of Los Altos Hills and highlight the technologies and trends that are of particular importance to municipalities.
4. Broadband Availability and Market Analysis
Within the Town of Los Altos Hills, there are multiple private companies that are providing broadband services to their residences and businesses. We will research and use many different resources to find what is available, the cost, and who is providing those services. We will work with local community groups to look at public private partnerships that could benefit the community.
As part of the analysis, we will interview home grown groups and private sector companies to ascertain what networks exist and if there are plans for the future that would have an impact. We will contact the wireless, wireline, fixed wireless, and cellular companies with a presence in Los Altos Hills. It is expected that these companies will not share maps or detailed plans, however, they
209.678.3077 ♦ [email protected]
Copyright© Government Technology Group (GTG) 2022. All rights reserved. Page A -3 typically will cooperate as much as they can. It should also provide an insight into the idea of partnerships and the level of interest these companies have.
There are several resources on the state and Los Altos Hills levels that will be used to obtain coverage maps and availability. Every facility-based provider must report, every 6 months, FCC Form 477 every census block that they provide services and the speeds of that services. The FCC takes this information and provides maps that show the reported information.
5. Needs and Goals Assessments
We will interview stakeholders within the Town of Los Altos Hills’s departments, local community groups, focus groups, major employers, etc. to determine the needs of these groups. The first step for knowing where to expand broadband and having a smart city is to satisfy the needs of the community and constituents.
Goals are a major driving force for increasing broadband and fiber networks. It is imperative to know the technologies, IoT, programs, smart city applications, 5G and 6G, Wi-Fi 6, among many others.
No two cities are the same and they all have different goals, objectives, and needs in order to make the city the best it can be. We will use our extensive experience to guide the interviews to learn how to best serve the city.
6. Policy Assessment
Policy assessment is a necessary step in making sure that Los Altos Hills has the policies and practices in place to not only entice broadband deployment but also the ensure the city is protected and behaving in a legally responsible and fudiciary manner. Policies and practices have to meet county, state and federal standards and legal requirements.
Policies that will be reviewed include:
• Dig once
• Construction Standards
• Permitting process
• Permitting fees
• PEG fees
• Master License Agreements
• General city agreements with private companies and/or community groups • more upon discovery
These policies need to be reviewed with legal telecommunications lawyers for compliance and any legal issues or exposure that may exist with steps to mitigate these issues. There are many issues that can and do get tTowns and cities into legal uncertainty, by having these policies reviewed by legal council will help make sure any current issues are defendable and future polices are designed with on proper legal standing in mind.

7. Gap Analysis
During the discovery phases of the project, we will document and compare the current infrastructure with the network that will be needed to meet the needs and goals of the city. We will take all this information and develop an analysis of the gaps, or missing pieces that will be needed to complete the network.
Between private networks, future plans, and current city assets a comprehensive road map will be outlined on how to fill the gaps and make recommendations on broadband infrastructure that can build revenue to extend fiber as the community’s needs grow.
8. High-level Broadband Design – Conceptual Routing
Following the gap analysis, we will put together a conceptual HLD (high-level design) that will fill the gaps. We will work with the city’s team to find the most appropriate network type and design to fit the business model. We will create a design that will include expected construction types and costs, cable sizes, strand counts, route diversity, and redundancy to support an inclusive, high speed and reliable service at reasonable cost.
The HLD will include area data centers and colocation spaces and how and if the Town of Los Altos Hills should connect to these locations. It will include the most efficient and direct routing focusing on the most reliable and cost-effective construction methods. We will include technical specifications and a cost estimation should construction of a network be a feasible option.
9. Business Model & Financial Analysis
GTG will incorporate findings from the asset inventory, needs assessment, and partnership opportunities to develop a business model that fits the framework of financial, operational, and organizational requirements of Los Altos Hills that will have the greatest chance of success and will be the most financially sustainable. We will present this business case to the City’s team and provide an analysis of how it meets Los Altos Hills’s goals in the project. Each city is unique, and through our proven process we will work with Los Altos Hills to find the model that is most feasible and presents the best opportunity for its unique community.
Some considerations for the business model may include:
Public-Owned
● City-owned “middle mile” infrastructure with potential partnership opportunities for “last mile” connections
Open Access
● Proceed with the intent to lease or otherwise make available, fiber infrastructure (conduit, dark or lit fiber, vertical and other assets) to other municipal entities, telecommunications carriers, other service providers or businesses
● Connect to an internet Point of Presence (POP) and offer a choice of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to partnership entities and end-users on the network through either
209.678.3077 ♦ [email protected]
Copyright© Government Technology Group (GTG) 2022. All rights reserved. Page A -5 wholesale, retail, revenue sharing or passive network access Demand-Driven
● Deploying the network and associated services where areas of demand (both social and economic) will be strongest
● Realizing a financial return on investment in terms of economic development impact, infrastructure enhancement, leased line or other communications service savings and revenue generation
● Focusing on social return on investment in terms of enhancing Quality of Life via educational, Public Safety, and Smart City initiatives
Incremental Build
● City/municipal buildings and facilities, evaluating leased-line savings, communications, and operational enhancements
● Community Anchor Institutions (CAIs) such as large businesses, hospitals, learning institutions, etc.
● Business economic development zones or corridors and the broader business community ● Public Wi-Fi areas, public safety and other smart city services requiring a fiber backbone or otherwise enhanced by high-speed access
● Eventual possibility of residential communities including multi-dwelling units (MDUs), low-income housing and the broader community at large.
Other considerations
● Leverage the existing network, including adding redundancy and resiliency, building the network to carrier-grade levels, monetizing current assets including leasing infrastructure ● Capitalize on joint-trench opportunities and other right-of-way access opportunities in conjunction with other Public Works projects and private development agreements to expand network infrastructure
After the best business model option has been selected, GTG proposes using our Broadband Financial Sustainability Model to ensure that Los Altos Hills has a full understanding of the business and financial sustainability of the program. Using our financial tools, we suggest using the following process to conduct the business model analysis and make recommendations. We would propose using a 10-year period to analyze the project:
• Develop the cost model for the network, including one-time and ongoing capital expenditures to build the network. This will include an assessment of current facility locations, City owned land and the city right-of-way for construction, and the need to purchase any land or equipment. • Develop the cost model for operations, including O&M, network operations, field services, staffing, billing, and customer service.
• From the market analysis and outreach, determine the customer segmentation and growth on the network, across each type of customer (business, school, hospital, etc.).
209.678.3077 ♦ [email protected]
Copyright© Government Technology Group (GTG) 2022. All rights reserved. Page A -6 • Determine customer growth rates for the network, based on benchmarking analysis from other utility and municipal providers.
• Provide a phased deployment approach, including prioritization and costs for each phase. • Determine a proposed competitive rate schedule for potential services, using pricing information from the market analysis and benchmarking information. • Develop financial statements including:
o Operating income and cash flow
o Net present value analysis
o Projected revenues and benefits
o Uses and sources of funds
o Operational expenses
o Depreciation schedule
o Debt service analysis
o Key assumptions
• Conduct comprehensive financial analysis on the project to determine overall financial sustainability using key metrics such as free cash flow, debt service coverage, operating margin, and net income.
We will incorporate findings, review them with the City’s team and provide direction for the final business case.

10. Phased Implementation Plan
The culmination of the study will lay out the core strategies for Los Altos Hills to develop a fiber optic communications strategy that supports Smart City/IoT initiatives. We believe a phased approach to implementing such a project is key. GTG’s team will help you develop a prioritized, phased approach that uses a “crawl, walk, run” approach to broadband communications expansion . We will identify near term, high-impact projects that will demonstrate capabilities and competence for the City, while minimizing capital investment. These small steps are important to help you build toward larger goals.
Building on the initial successes, we will provide a year-by-year roadmap for fiber infrastructure deployment, based on the priorities of your community and with clear milestones that should be achieved along the way. We will also help you determine what activities, funding, resources, and partnerships you will need along the way to be successful at developing the City’s city-wide fiber optic infrastructure.
11. Grants and funding opportunities
Los Altos Hills’s geographic location and population will limit the grant opportunities. However, within SB 156 there may be provisions for urban areas that will have opportunities for Los Altos Hills.
12. Final report and presentation
Upon completion of the project, GTG will present the final report to the City Council if desired. This presentation will encompass the methodology, findings, and recommendations. It will include a path to protect the City’s investment in broadband/fiber infrastructure for the community including policy recommendations to reduce exposure of liability and risk.

Copyright© Government Technology Group (GTG) 2022. All rights reserved. Page| 3 Executive Summary/Project Understanding
The Government Technology Group is pleased to have the opportunity to play a vital role in helping the Town of Los Altos explore a competitive, reliable and cost-effective fiber optic communications system to benefit its residents and provide for a state-of-the-art technology infrastructure for improved service delivery to achieve cost efficiencies and increased productivity. Fiber infrastructure enables innovation in business and operational processes and users are demanding new communications speeds to simplify or speed their work. Fiber infrastructure provides efficient error free communications that allows for real time sharing of information between City facilities, including traffic signals and public safety while improving Internet services for its community including residents, businesses (commercial and industrial), schools, and health services.
Government Technology Group LLC (GTG), a consulting group of former, local government CIO’s and IT leaders, with the support of our advisor Young Fiber, a firm with extensive fiber optic planning experience, will provide the Town of Los Altos Hills a Strategic Fiber Optic Feasibility Study that will assist in the City’s ability to obtain funding, improve access/inclusivity, provide high speed communications that are reliable at a reasonable cost. The Feasibility Study will be designed with input from current local Internet Service providers and business and community stakeholders. The results will provide a fiber optic network solution that will improve innovation and be positioned for future Smart City solutions and support for the Internet of things (IoT).
We will accomplish this through a structured, phased approach that builds on the earlier stages and findings to discover and resolve foundational gaps in the communications needs of the city with recommendations, road maps and prioritizations to support a City-wide fiber optic network. The information in the Fiber Optic Feasibility study will be a collaborative effort with City staff, local community groups, businesses, and residents through conversations, surveys, meetings, workshops, and reviews, supplemented by subject matter expertise and awareness of industry best practices and evolving trends. Extensive communication is key, and our project initiation process ensures that joint expectations are fully understood and met throughout the project with regular meetings and reporting. Our schedule, a work plan of thirty weeks, is exemplary of how each project phase is memorialized in a milestone and is flexible to meet City staffing and operational requirements. Background preparatory activities for each milestone will be continuous throughout the project to meet the stated objectives and deliverables.
As technology leaders in our recent organizations and now in consulting, GTG provides significant, hands-on project experience delivering technology advancement in cities, agencies, and districts, working with public funds while answering to City Councils and Boards of Directors. We have had the responsibility to design, plan and implement complex fiber infrastructure and network projects.
We have a proven track record of accomplishing our objectives. Recent projects include fiber master plans, fiber optic assessments, network upgrades, cybersecurity, telephony, ERP implementations, enterprise content document management systems, websites, SCADA networks and security, CMMS asset management systems, and cloud office systems, among others. We have been successful through partnering with the user communities to accomplish these projects.
Young Fiber has a long history of successful design and implementation of fiber optic and broadband plans for local government agencies.

Copyright© Government Technology Group (GTG) 2022. All rights reserved. Page| 8 Project Approach
GTG’s fiber optic/broadband planning methodology is built on the combined experience of our group in delivering services to public agencies. GTG will perform an assessment of the Town of Los Altos Hills’s current infrastructure, assets and providers and identify the strengths and weaknesses of the current state. The fiber optic assessment activities will provide the foundation upon which the Fiber Optic/Broadband Feasibility Study will be built.
The principal consultants that will be involved with this project have completed a number of projects similar to the one proposed. Below is a list of Broadband Master Plans/Assessments that were completed by our team:
Verizon One Fiber – Concord UACE 5G Deployment 2016 – 2019 (Private Sector) 600+ mile overbuild
City of Indio – Fiber Master Plan 2020 – 2021
North Arizona Council of Governments – Middle Mile Network Plan 2020 – 2021 City of Modesto – Fiber Planning - 1998
City of Merced – Regional Fiber Planning – 2003
Hayward Unified School District – Fiber Optic Plan - 2013 City of San Leandro – Wireless Master Plan - 2013
City of Concord – Fiber Optic Master Plan – 2017
GTG’s methodology will be focused on the involvement and interaction with the public and stakeholders, including residents, local businesses, education, and health services providers in addition to working with broadband providers. GTG’s Master Planning methodology creates processes that yield positive results. GTG’s proposed work plan includes several phases that build upon one another through actions and technical reports that ultimately become part of the Town of Los Altos Hills’ Fiber Optic Feasibility Study.
The first phase establishes the foundation for effective communication and the successful completion of the project.
The second phase focuses the assessment on the Town of Los Altos Hills’ current environment and how fiber optic communications support the City’s needs while identifying gaps, opportunities, and long term provision of a broadband communications system.
The next phase builds the tools and vision for the future of Los Altos Hills including high level design, cost, and funding analysis. Here workshops and road maps contribute to the understanding of how that future can be achieved.
The final step, which follows a structured methodology to develop a Strategic Fiber Optic Feasibility Study that is supported by the information gathered in the “Assessment” and “Vision” phases to develop actionable recommendations and projections for future broadband improvements that supports residents, local business, regionalism, and Smart City technologies.

PROJECT INITIATION
Planning Meeting
The purpose of this phase is to share our proposed work plan and schedule. This stage includes confirming GTG’s understanding, as well as the understanding of the stakeholders, regarding the scope of work and the process for accomplishing the overall objectives of the project.
GTG will meet with Los Altos Hills’s Project Manager and other key staff to refine and confirm the detailed scope of work, project timeline, deliverables, project status reporting methods, project participants (i.e., sponsor, subject matter experts, technical resources, etc.), and other items to ensure a well-planned project. During this step, we will tentatively build with Los Altos Hills the workshop attendance lists.
Based on GTG’s experience on similar projects, project timeline, the project schedule shall be refined with the project manager from Los Altos Hills. The success of achieving this schedule largely depends on the availability, participation, and knowledge of Los Altos Hills’ assigned staff. GTG will submit monthly progress reports to Los Altos Hills showing completion progress for each task and associated subtasks.
Deliverables: Draft and Final Project Plan.
Project Initiation Meeting
Since the project will have an organization-wide impact, it is important to proactively communicate with all impacted staff to ensure a clear understanding of project goals and objectives, roles and responsibilities, approach, tasks, and timeline. This meeting also provides the opportunity to introduce the GTG personnel to Los Altos Hills staff and should involve senior level management and project sponsors. It is important that all Los Altos Hills staff that will be involved in the project, regardless of their role, participate in the Project Initiation Meeting.
Deliverable: Project Initiation Meeting
DISCOVERY - ASSESSMENT PHASE
In this step, GTG will work closely with the organization’s fiber optic stakeholders, local community groups, businesses, residents, broadband providers, healthcare services and education to perform a comprehensive assessment of existing fiber optic and communications in place, including gaps that will identify current strengths/weaknesses, and high-level documentation of existing agency communications. GTG will conduct surveys to assess and determine overall satisfaction in terms of broadband and broadband service delivery and support. These surveys provide a mechanism that provides all broadband users input into future fiber communication needs. They also provide a more granular look into the actual broadband deployments in the city and highlight areas that may need more focus. GTG will document the Town of Los Altos Hills’ future vision for the use of broadband including Smart City technology. This will result in a gap analysis between that vision and the current fiber infrastructure realities.
209.678.3077 ♦ [email protected]
Copyright© Government Technology Group (GTG) 2022. All rights reserved. Page| 10 Gathering information on all city and private assets to incorporate into the plan. The more infrastructure and assets the most cost effective the build will be, also can be leverage for partnerships. Some of the assets include:
● Asset Inventory - City owned conduits, fiber, abandoned infrastructure, building space, equipment, future capital improvement projects, any other assets o Private assets include conduits, current fiber cables, future plans for fiber or conduit, cabinet space, co-location space, etc.
● Stakeholder Outreach – Finding any assets, needs, partnership opportunities, anchor tenants, and what support exists for improved Los Altos Hills broadband communications.
The assessment phase will also include the following:
● Market Analysis – Gaining an understanding of the local broadband offerings, city needs, point of presence to connect to internet, needs of the residents and businesses. ● Governance Discussion – Developing a plan for the structure of the governance and management of the Los Altos Hills broadband system. Depending on analysis and findings, governance could include overseeing a broadband partnership, managing structure, and general overseeing of the assets as deemed necessary.
These evaluative considerations will become a part of a framework to ensure current and future technology projects meet Los Altos Hills’s needs and can be supported long term including abandonment or transfer of assets protection if deemed necessary.
In those areas where the assessment provides an inventory of opportunities, GTG will provide one or more recommended actions, an assessment as to the relative priority of each recommendation, and an action plan that considers the relative importance of each recommendation and a recommended timeframe for implementation. The recommendation will also include potential partnership opportunities to assist in the speedy implementation of the action items.
VISION PHASE
The culmination of the assessment of the current environment, combined with the needs and goals of all the stakeholders, the next phase focuses on planning the future with a supporting fiber optic network. The vision requires an understanding of the needs, goals, and funding opportunities the Town of Los Altos Hills will be able to leverage to complete the overall project goals and objectives.
CITYWIDE STRATEGIC BROADBAND OPTIC FEASIBILITY STUDY
GTG will incorporate work products and memorandums from previous tasks as the foundation for the development of Los Altos Hills’s Fiber Optic/Broadband Feasibility Study. GTG will use this information, as well as other information provided by staff and independent research, to create an actionable draft of the Master Plan and review it with Los Altos Hills. Upon completion and acceptance of the final Strategic Fiber Optic Feasibility Study, GTG will give a professional presentation summary to multiple audiences, including the Executive Team and the City Council as requested.

Copyright© Government Technology Group (GTG) 2022. All rights reserved. Page| 12 Quality Assurance/Quality Control Program
GTG follows the Project Management Book of Knowledge waterfall process to monitor and manage quality control. This includes creating approval criteria and setting quality standards during the initiating phase, deciding on what to focus on and building quality into the project during the planning phase, tracking status reporting and change control during the Executing, Monitoring and Controlling phase and documenting lessons learned and importing documents during the closing phase as outlined in the following image.
The following five steps will be used during the four phases of the project management process to develop a quality control process:
Phase I – Initiating
Step 1. Set your quality standards.
Phase II - Planning
Step 2. Decide which quality standards to focus on.
This allows your agency and GTG to ensure quality in all aspects of the project by focusing on the most important measures — those that have the biggest effect on your agency and your customer
209.678.3077 ♦ [email protected]
Copyright© Government Technology Group (GTG) 2022. All rights reserved. Page| 13 experience. This will improve the ability to get results quickly which keeps the project team focused and avoids becoming overwhelmed.
3. Create processes to build quality into the project.
Well-designed processes lead to high-quality products and services. This step will include working closely with Los Altos Hills’s project manager in creating requirements to measure to and documenting team responsibilities for accountability. In addition to this, the two project managers will work closely together and with their teams to build a communication plan including monthly status reports, the project schedule, budget, change and quality plans to monitor and control.
Phase III – Executing, Monitoring and Controlling
4. Review your results to ensure quality standards are being met.
During this step status reporting will be reviewed regularly to see how well the Broadband Planning Study process is meeting its quality standard including change control and contract management.
5. Make improvements to ensure quality in future projects.

In addition to the bi-weekly meetings, GTG will be available for workshops, meetings, and interviews with city staff, local community groups and other stakeholders relevant to the project. These meetings would be used primarily for providing progress updates, goals, direction of project, etc.
At the present time, due to COVID restrictions and uncertainty about the future, it is assumed that all meetings will be conducted virtually until such time as in-person meetings are practical.
Kick-Off Meeting & Project Management Plan -The project will begin with a kickoff meeting between the GTG team and the Town of Los Altos Hills’ project team. Prior to the kickoff, GTG will put together a Project Management Plan (PMP) including a project outline, timeframe, deliverables, and other milestones. After the meeting, based on feedback from the stakeholders GTG will revise the PMP accordingly.
2. Asset Inventory
We will conduct an asset inventory to gain an understanding of the current infrastructure that can be leveraged for this project. These assets include but not limited to:
● Any existing conduit, abandoned infrastructure, traffic signal interconnect, or other underground infrastructure
● City or community group owned fiber optic cables including access points o With strand count and availability
o Taking into account foothills and line of sight issues ● Any building or cabinet space available for cable terminations and patch panels ● Traffic lights
● Streetlights
● Any existing wi-fi access points
● All camera locations: Public safety, Traffic, Automatic License Plate Readers, and/or Building security cameras
● Any capital improvement projects
● Site list of all facilities to connect to the network ● GIS maps including City-owned property, right of way, easements ● Economic development zones, low/moderate income areas, un/underserved areas ● Other as needed
GTG can utilize this information in any form including GIS, PDF, Excel, Word, Pictures, KMZ, etc. This information will be requested as soon as possible after the project begins and put into a master GIS
209.678.3077 ♦ [email protected]
Copyright© Government Technology Group (GTG) 2022. All rights reserved. Page A -2 database. The GIS database will be turned over to the city upon completion of the project.
GTG will also use the available contacts and websites to gain an understanding of the existing fiber throughout Los Altos Hills that could be leveraged as part of the Feasibility Study. This includes working with local community groups and their fiber networks. Local Internet Service Providers (ISPs) will be contacted as well with the hopes of gaining an understanding of their current networks and future plans for the area. It is assumed that most providers will not share maps of their networks for proprietary reasons but in the spirit of the project they will typically verbally share information that can be used in the study. The analysis will include as much of this information as possible and will lead to a better understanding of the local networks and how the community is being served and show the inequalities that exist in all markets. These talks should yield an understanding to both the city and the providers of the current needs of the community and a greater understanding of how to solve these issues. The providers will also have needs and goals that should be considered in the designing of the network as they too are stakeholders in Los Altos Hills and should be viewed that way.
After all this information is collected and put into a comprehensive map, GTG will conduct a gap analysis indicating the areas of the city that will require new broadband and/or fiber optic infrastructure to extend services where needed/desired.
3. Technology and Trends Review
Our team of experts maintain a presence in many forums and groups that help influence the direction of broadband. These nationwide groups: current state of broadband, what technologies have been successful and not successful. They are knowledgeable about the trends that are helping municipalities become smarter and more efficient, and the types of networks needed to support these technologies.
The internet of things, or IoT, is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals, or people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
IoT is quickly becoming such an integral part of our lives. IoT is the innovation that is bringing together various smart systems, frameworks, intelligent devices, and sensors meant to make our lives better, more efficient, safer, longer, and easier.
We will bring this knowledge to the Town of Los Altos Hills and highlight the technologies and trends that are of particular importance to municipalities.
The future of broadband is trending towards hybrid networks incorporating both fiber and wireless technologies. Wireless technologies that will be investigated and researched for feasibility include but are not limited to:
• Satellite
• Wi-Fi
• CBRS - Citizens Band Radio Service, aka private LTE
• Microwave
• Terragraph type systems - neighborhood mesh network

4. Broadband Availability and Market Analysis
Within the Town of Los Altos Hills, there are multiple private companies that are providing broadband services to their residences and businesses. We will research and use many different resources to find what is available, the cost, and who is providing those services. We will work with local community groups to look at public private partnerships that could benefit the community.
As part of the analysis, we will interview home grown groups and private sector companies to ascertain what networks exist and if there are plans for the future that would have an impact. We will contact the wireless, wireline, fixed wireless, and cellular companies with a presence in Los Altos Hills. It is expected that these companies will not share maps or detailed plans, however, they typically will cooperate as much as they can. It should also provide an insight into the idea of partnerships and the level of interest these companies have.
There are several resources on the state and Los Altos Hills levels that will be used to obtain coverage maps and availability. Every facility-based provider must report, every 6 months, FCC Form 477 every census block that they provide services and the speeds of that services. The FCC takes this information and provides maps that show the reported information.
5. Needs and Goals Assessments
We will interview stakeholders within the Town of Los Altos Hills’s departments, local community groups, focus groups, major employers, etc. to determine the needs of these groups. The first step for knowing where to expand broadband and having a smart city is to satisfy the needs of the community and constituents.
Goals are a major driving force for increasing broadband and fiber networks. It is imperative to know the technologies, IoT, programs, smart city applications, 5G and 6G, Wi-Fi 6, among many others.
No two cities are the same and they all have different goals, objectives, and needs in order to make the city the best it can be. We will use our extensive experience to guide the interviews to learn how to best serve the city.
6. Policy Assessment
Policy assessment is a necessary step in making sure that Los Altos Hills has the policies and practices in place to not only entice broadband deployment but also the ensure the city is protected and behaving in a legally responsible and fudiciary manner. Policies and practices have to meet county, state and federal standards and legal requirements.
Policies that will be reviewed include:
• Dig once
• Construction Standards
• Permitting process
• Permitting fees
• PEG fees
• Master License Agreements
209.678.3077 ♦ [email protected]
Copyright© Government Technology Group (GTG) 2022. All rights reserved. Page A -4 • General city agreements with private companies and/or community groups • more upon discovery
These policies need to be reviewed with legal telecommunications lawyers for compliance and any legal issues or exposure that may exist with steps to mitigate these issues. There are many issues that can and do get tTowns and cities into legal uncertainty, by having these policies reviewed by legal council will help make sure any current issues are defendable and future polices are designed with on proper legal standing in mind.
7. Gap Analysis
During the discovery phases of the project, we will document and compare the current infrastructure with the network that will be needed to meet the needs and goals of the city. We will take all this information and develop an analysis of the gaps, or missing pieces that will be needed to complete the network.
Between private networks, future plans, and current city assets a comprehensive road map will be outlined on how to fill the gaps and make recommendations on broadband infrastructure that can build revenue to extend fiber as the community’s needs grow.
8. High-level Broadband Design – Conceptual Routing
Following the gap analysis, we will put together a conceptual HLD (high-level design) that will fill the gaps. We will work with the city’s team to find the most appropriate network type and design to fit the business model. We will create a wired/wireless design that will include expected construction types and costs, network type, cable sizes, strand counts, route diversity,and redundancy to support an inclusive, high speed and reliable service at reasonable cost.
The HLD will include area data centers and colocation spaces and how and if the Town of Los Altos Hills should connect to these locations. It will include the most efficient and direct routing focusing on the most reliable and cost-effective construction methods. We will include technical specifications and a cost estimation should construction of a network be a feasible option.
9. Business Model & Financial Analysis
GTG will incorporate findings from the asset inventory, needs assessment, and partnership opportunities to develop a business model that fits the framework of financial, operational, and organizational requirements of Los Altos Hills that will have the greatest chance of success and will be the most financially sustainable. We will present this business case to the City’s team and provide an analysis of how it meets Los Altos Hills’s goals in the project. Each city is unique, and through our proven process we will work with Los Altos Hills to find the model that is most feasible and presents the best opportunity for its unique community.
Some considerations for the business model may include:
Public-Owned
● City-owned “middle mile” infrastructure with potential partnership opportunities for “last mile”
209.678.3077 ♦ [email protected]
Copyright© Government Technology Group (GTG) 2022. All rights reserved. Page A -5 connections
Open Access
● Proceed with the intent to lease or otherwise make available, fiber and/or wireless infrastructure (conduit, dark or lit fiber, vertical and other assets) to other municipal entities, telecommunications carriers, other service providers or businesses ● Connect to an internet Point of Presence (POP) and offer a choice of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to partnership entities and end-users on the network through either wholesale, retail, revenue sharing or passive network access Demand-Driven
● Deploying the network and associated services where areas of demand (both social and economic) will be strongest
● Realizing a financial return on investment in terms of economic development impact, infrastructure enhancement, leased line or other communications service savings and revenue generation
● Focusing on social return on investment in terms of enhancing Quality of Life via educational, Public Safety, and Smart City initiatives
Incremental Build
● City/municipal buildings and facilities, evaluating leased-line savings, communications, and operational enhancements
● Community Anchor Institutions (CAIs) such as large businesses, hospitals, learning institutions, etc.
● Business economic development zones or corridors and the broader business community ● Public Wi-Fi areas, public safety and other smart city services requiring a fiber backbone or otherwise enhanced by high-speed access
● Eventual possibility of residential communities including multi-dwelling units (MDUs), low-income housing and the broader community at large.
Other considerations
● Leverage the existing network, including adding redundancy and resiliency, building the network to carrier-grade levels, monetizing current assets including leasing infrastructure ● Capitalize on joint-trench opportunities and other right-of-way access opportunities in conjunction with other Public Works projects and private development agreements to expand network infrastructure
After the best business model option has been selected, GTG proposes using our Broadband Financial Sustainability Model to ensure that Los Altos Hills has a full understanding of the business
209.678.3077 ♦ [email protected]
Copyright© Government Technology Group (GTG) 2022. All rights reserved. Page A -6 and financial sustainability of the program. Using our financial tools, we suggest using the following process to conduct the business model analysis and make recommendations. We would propose using a 10-year period to analyze the project:
• Develop the cost model for the network, including one-time and ongoing capital expenditures to build the network. This will include an assessment of current facility locations, City owned land and the city right-of-way for construction, and the need to purchase any land or equipment. • Develop the cost model for operations, including O&M, network operations, field services, staffing, billing, and customer service.
• From the market analysis and outreach, determine the customer segmentation and growth on the network, across each type of customer (business, school, hospital, etc.). • Determine customer growth rates for the network, based on benchmarking analysis from other utility and municipal providers.
• Provide a phased deployment approach, including prioritization and costs for each phase. • Determine a proposed competitive rate schedule for potential services, using pricing information from the market analysis and benchmarking information. • Develop financial statements including:
o Operating income and cash flow
o Net present value analysis
o Projected revenues and benefits
o Uses and sources of funds
o Operational expenses
o Depreciation schedule
o Debt service analysis
o Key assumptions
• Conduct comprehensive financial analysis on the project to determine overall financial sustainability using key metrics such as free cash flow, debt service coverage, operating margin, and net income.
We will incorporate findings, review them with the City’s team and provide direction for the final business case.

10. Phased Implementation Plan
The culmination of the study will lay out the core strategies for Los Altos Hills to develop a broadband communications strategy that supports Smart City/IoT initiatives. We believe a phased approach to implementing such a project is key. GTG’s team will help you develop a prioritized, phased approach that uses a “crawl, walk, run” approach to broadband communications expansion . We will identify near term, high-impact projects that will demonstrate capabilities and competence for the City, while minimizing capital investment. These small steps are important to help you build toward larger goals.
Building on the initial successes, we will provide a year-by-year roadmap for fiber infrastructure deployment, based on the priorities of your community and with clear milestones that should be achieved along the way. We will also help you determine what activities, funding, resources, and partnerships you will need along the way to be successful at developing the City’s city-wide fiber optic infrastructure.
11. Grants and funding opportunities
Los Altos Hills’s geographic location and population will limit the grant opportunities. However, within SB 156 there may be provisions for urban areas that will have opportunities for Los Altos Hills.
12. Final report and presentation
Upon completion of the project, GTG will present the final report to the City Council if desired. This presentation will encompass the methodology, findings, and recommendations. It will include a path to protect the City’s investment in broadband/fiber infrastructure for the community including policy recommendations to reduce exposure of liability and risk.

TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS June 16, 2022
Staff Report to the City Council
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ANNUAL FY 2022-23 PROJECT LIST TO
BE SUBMITTED TO THE CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION FOR SB1 COMPLIANCE
FROM: Avery Lai, Assistant Engineer
APPROVED: Peter Pirnejad, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:
Adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) approving the annual FY 2022-23 project list to be submitted to the California Transportation Commission for SB1 compliance.
BACKGROUND:
The Town currently receives annual transportation funding from the State of California typically in the form of grants or direct allocation including:
• Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax (Gas Tax)
• Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA)
• Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA)
Senate Bill 1 (SB1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, is funding known as the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) that was passed and signed into law in April 2017. SB1 is a long-term transportation solution that provides new revenues for road safety improvements such as filling potholes and repairing local streets, highways, and bridges. SB1 also provides transportation investments in every community regardless of representation or demographic and includes strict accountability provisions to reduce waste and bureaucracy ensuring that all funds are dedicated towards transportation improvements.
The RMRA funds critical projects statewide to improve our local streets, roads, and bridges, and increase mobility options through walking, biking, and connectors to transit infrastructure.
Beginning November 1, 2018, the State Controller (Controller) deposited allocations of this new funding into the newly created RMRA.

APPROVED: Peter Pirnejad, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council reconsider and adopt supplemental findings regarding Resolution No. 48-22 denying an appeal of the Planning Commission imposed conditions of approval for a zoning permit for new fencing at 28001 Elena Road.
BACKGROUND
On May 27, 2021, a Zoning Permit Application was submitted by Sea Landing LP (applicant) for installing perimeter fencing at 28001 Elena Road (APN 182-02-016) to engage in agricultural activities at the subject property (#ZP21-0047). The permit application was then reviewed at a Site Development public hearing and subsequently referred to the Planning Commission for review pursuant to Sections 10-1.507(e)(3) and 10-2.1305(b) of the Municipal Code.
The Planning Commission reviewed the Zoning Permit application at duly noticed public hearings held on August 5, 2021, October 7, 2021, January 13, 2022, and March 3, 2022. The Planning Commission approved the Zoning Permit at the March 3 hearing, with certain conditions of approval including revised fence design, pursuant to Section 10-2.1305(c).
Subsequent to Planning Commission’s approval of the Zoning Permit, on March 14, 2022, the applicant timely filed a Notice of Appeal with the City Clerk regarding the conditions of approval imposed by the Commission. The City Council heard the appeal at a duly noticed public hearing on April 21, 2022 and considered all evidence, testimony, written documentation and public comments. The City Council denied the applicant’s appeal and upheld the Planning Commission’s decision dated March 3, 2022 to approve a Zoning Permit application (ZP21-0047) for fencing at 28001 Elena Road with conditions issued on March 3, 2022.
DISCUSSION
At the April 21, 2022 City Council meeting, the City Council heard presentations, reviewed staff reports, heard statements from the applicant and the public, and asked questions in relation to the appeal for the conditions of approval imposed for the Zoning Permit for fencing at 28001 Elena Road.

SUPPLEMENTAL FINDINGS
1. Based on the entirety of the record before it, which includes without limitation: the Los Altos Hills General Plan; the Los Altos Hills Municipal Code, including but not limited to the Los Altos Hills Fence Ordinance and zoning and site development codes; the Los Altos Hills Land Use Diagram; all applications, correspondences, all oral and written comments, site plans, and all reports, submittals, presentations, recordings, minutes, written correspondence, and public testimony submitted as part of the duly noticed July 6, 2021 Site Development public hearing, the Los Altos Hills Planning Commission’s duly noticed August 5, 2021, October 7, 2021, January 13, 2022 and March 3, 2022 public hearings, and the City Council’s duly noticed April 21, 2022 public hearing; and any other evidence and testimony presented in the record below, the City Council of the Town of Los Altos Hills makes the following supplemental findings with regard to the adoption of Resolution No. 48-22 on April 21, 2022 denying an appeal of the Planning Commission Imposed Conditions of Approval for a Zoning Permit for new fencing at 28001 Elena Road (APN 182-02-016)(ZP21-0047) (“Zoning Permit”):
a. The May 27, 2021 Zoning Permit application for new fencing at 28001 Elena Road was considered and acted upon by the Planning Commission in accordance with the procedures set forth under the Los Altos Hills Municipal Code.
Under Los Altos Hills Municipal Code Section 10-1.507, otherwise known as the Town’s Fence Ordinance, either a Zoning Permit or a Site Development Permit would be required in order to construct new fences. Section 10-1.507(e)(3) of the Municipal Code states that Zoning Permit requests for certain types of fences are to be reviewed by the Planning Director with notice to adjacent neighbors and pursuant to a public hearing with such notice. This includes, among other things, vinyl coated chain-link fences along any road right-of-way, fences or walls longer than one thousand (1,000) linear feet, and any fence proposal “deemed appropriate by the Planning Director for a noticed hearing.” The Planning Director is to provide public notice and conduct the permit review hearing pursuant to Section 10-2.1305(b), except that public notice is only required to be provided to adjacent neighbors. Section 10-2.1305(b) then provides the Planning Director the authority to either deny the permit; to review and issue the permit with reasonable conditions of approval; or to refer such fence Zoning Permit applications to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission is tasked with reviewing and either approve or deny the application under Section 10-2.1305(c).
The Zoning Permit application was filed on May 27, 2021. It was first considered at a duly noticed Site Development public hearing on July 6, 2021. A number of public comments raised concerns about property boundaries, wildlife movements throughout the property, the sloped features of the property and the proposed chain-link fence designs.
Based on these concerns, the application was referred to the Planning Commission by the Planning Director pursuant to the authority under Sections 10-1.507(e) (including subsection (e)(3)) and 10-2.1305(b). The Planning Commission reviewed the application at four (4) duly noticed public hearings: August 5, 2021, October 7, 2021, January 13,
Exhibit A Page 4
2022, and March 3, 2022. Notice was provided for each public hearing consistent with Section 10-1.1005 of the Municipal Code including mailing to property owners within a 500-foot radius of the project, publication on the Town’s website, and posting at public locations and at the proposed project site. As such, the Planning Commission heard the matter pursuant to public hearings in compliance with the procedural requirements set forth under the Municipal Code, including providing multiple opportunities for the applicant to be heard and address inquiries from the Commission. Therefore, the City Council finds that the Zoning Permit application was properly considered by the Commission in accordance with the procedures set forth under the Municipal Code. b. The March 14, 2022 appeal of the Conditions of Approval Imposed by the Planning Commission were considered and acted upon by the City Council in accordance with the procedures set forth under the Los Altos Hills Municipal Code.
Decisions of the Planning Commission are appealable to the City Council pursuant to Section 10-1.1009 of the Municipal Code within twenty-one (21) days following the decision prior to it becoming final. The Planning Commission approved the Zoning Permit with conditions of approval on March 3, 2022. The appeal from that decision regarding the Conditions of Approval imposed by the Planning Commission was timely filed with the City Council on March 14, 2022. Consistent with the requirement under Section 10-1.1010 of the Municipal Code, the City Council set a public hearing within forty-five (45) days from receipt of the appeal on April 21, 2022 and conducted the public hearing on such date to consider the matter. The City Council received public testimony and provided the applicant an opportunity to be heard and respond to questions from the City Council.
Therefore, the City Council finds that the March 14 appeal was properly considered in accordance with the procedures set forth under the Municipal Code. c. There was substantial evidence in the record below to support the Planning Commission’s approval of the Zoning Permit application with the Conditions of Approval imposed on March 3, 2022.
i. The Planning Commission was authorized to review and issue the requested Zoning Permit with such reasonable conditions as it deems necessary.
The Zoning Permit application was referred to the Planning Commission by the Town’s Planning Director as authorized under Sections 10-1.507(e) and 10-2.1305(b) of the Municipal Code. The Planning Commission is directed to consider and act on the application under Section 10-2.1305(c). That section authorizes the Planning Commission to issue the requested permit “with such reasonable conditions as it deems necessary” to achieve the purposes of, in the context of this application, the Fence Ordinance provisions under the Zoning Code. This authority provides the Planning Commission the ability to impose conditions that are reasonably related to the proposed new fencing under the Zoning Permit. The City Council notes in particular that although Section 10-2.1305 is normally utilized by the Town’s Planning Director and Planning Commission to review site development applications, the provisions of that section apply in this case because of the specific directives of Section 10-1.507(e). Therefore, the City Council finds that the
Exhibit A Page 5
Planning Commission has the authority to approve the Zoning Permit with conditions deemed necessary and reasonable at its discretion.
ii. The Conditions of Approval imposed for the Zoning Permit on March 3, 2022 were reasonable and necessary for the proposed project and to achieve the purposes of the Fence Ordinance and the Municipal Code, and thus were within the Planning Commission’s discretion to impose.
The subject property is an approximately 41-acre remainder parcel created in 1985. Access to the site is provided by a driveway off Elena Road and the driveway provides access to an existing residence at 28001 Elena Road. Portions of the northwesterly part of the property features slopes in excess of 30% and consists of steep topography. The northwesterly corner of the subject property is also within an Open Space Conservation Area as shown on the Town’s Land Use Diagram. The entire property is encompassed within a Williamson Act contract, which restricts the property to certain agricultural and related compatible uses as specified in the contract document. Based on the application submittals, the applicant has stated that it intends to utilize the property for agricultural purposes and the planting of crops. The applicant has stated that the proposed new fences are to protect the plantings but they do not seek to construct any additional structures on the parcel. An application for a Zoning Permit was filed pursuant to Section 10-1.507 as such a permit is required in order to construct new fences.
When the Zoning Permit application was considered by the Town during a Site Development Public Hearing on July 6, 2021, there were several public comments raising issues relating to respecting property boundaries, permitting wildlife movements through the property, preserving the Open Space Conservation Area portion that is located on the project site, and reviewing the proposed chain-link fence design. Upon the Zoning Permit application being referred to the Planning Commission on August 5, 2021, the Commission requested clarification on a number of items including: proposed agricultural uses, type of fencing, presence of wildlife activities, and other issues raised by public comments at the prior public hearing. As documented in the staff report to the Planning Commission, the Commission directed the applicant to consider certain modifications to the fence design and provide additional clarification on these items.
Subsequently, the Planning Commission made specific requests at the October 2021 and January 2022 hearings for the applicant to: (1) submit a revised site plan that accurately depicts the proposed fencing and gates, existing fencing, easements encumbering the subject property, contour lines/topography, and neighboring property lines; (2) to provide further details on the proposed fencing plan including clarification on fencing proposed for the northern boundaries of the project site, as well as the agricultural use(s) and area(s) necessitating the proposed fencing; (3) utilize wildlife friendly and wooden fences and use fencing configurations consistent with other similarly large properties with open space or agricultural uses; (4) confirm the proposed fences would not bisect pathway easements, waterways, or across any swales, and that new fencing would not preclude the dedication of future open space easements or pathway easements; (5) remove prior fencing that were installed without permits or appropriate authorization from the Town; and (6) allow
Exhibit A Page 6
members of the Open Space Committee to visit the project site to determine wildlife presence.
Based on the reports and record of subsequent Planning Commission public hearings, the applicant did not comply with the Commission’s directives or supply information for most of these requests to answer the Commission’s questions. Instead, the applicant has maintained a position throughout the public hearings that the Commission’s requests were excessive for a zoning permit application and would be more appropriate for a site development permit review. For instance, in reviewing records for the October 7, 2021, January 13, 2022, and March 3, 2022 public hearings and correspondences from the applicant to the Town, the only additional submissions from the applicant to address the Planning Commission’s inquiries were a revised site plan and a topographical map on February 14, 2022. These submittals, however, remained inaccurate in that they showed the existing fence in wrong locations and the topographical map was from a previous subdivision dated 10-17-14. Likewise, the applicant has also refused to revise fencing designs to utilize wooden posts or wildlife friendly designs on the grounds that the request to revise design is excessive for a zoning permit application review. The applicant has also not confirmed the location of existing easements, waterways or swales on the site, and has not clarified where the proposed planting areas and crops would be located on the subject property. As shown in the public hearing records and correspondences to the Town, the applicant has similarly maintained that providing such information would be excessive for a zoning permit application, and is more appropriate for a site development permit review.
At the same time, the public hearing records and related submittals demonstrate that the conditions of approval imposed by the Planning Commission were warranted. Of the ten (10) conditions of approval issued on March 3, 2022, Condition Nos. 1, 3, 4, 5, 9 would require the proposed fencing be set back a certain distance, be constructed in accordance with approved plans, and not be located or interfere with any property lines, swales and various types of easements. Condition Nos. 2, 6, 7 and 8 would limit the design of the new fencing to be without spikes, sharpened edges, new lighting, barbed wire and electrified fences. Condition No. 2 would also require wooden posts to match the rural/agricultural character of the property. Condition No. 10 would require certain sections of the proposed fencing design to be constructed with wildlife friendly fence or chain link fence.
Based on a review of the record below, these conditions of approval were reasonably related to the project and necessary to achieve the goals contemplated by the Town’s Fence Ordinance and zoning/development standards. A stated goal under Section 10-1.507 for fence regulations is to “preserve the beauty and open rural quality of the Town while acknowledging that residents have the right to fence their properties in order to protect their children, contain their animals, and maintain privacy.” The design and location of new fencing is well within the Planning Commission’s authority to impose and is reasonably related to preserving property interests and maintain the Town’s rural/open space characteristics. Prohibiting proposed new fencing from locating within easement areas, swales and other private property interest areas are also reasonably related and necessary to allow the construction of fencing while preserving the use of private property and avoid intervention with natural site features.
Exhibit A Page 7
In reviewing the public hearing records and other evidence presented before the Commission and City Council, there are also ample evidence showing that conditions relating to wildlife-friendly fencing and preservation of natural appearances at the subject property were reasonable to address specific concerns raised to the Planning Commission during the public hearings. At the outset, a portion of the subject property is located within an Open Space Conservation Area as shown on the Town’s Land Use Diagram, and also contains steep sloped topography adjoining neighboring sites. There was testimony presented with respect to a 2006 potential wildlife movement corridor study conducted by Live Oak Associates showing the presence of wildlife movement at the subject property.
Additionally, multiple neighbors, Town committee members, and the commissioners have provided testimony or voiced concerns about the proposed fencing restricting or preventing wildlife movement on the property due to sighting of deer. Although the applicant never specified the location of proposed plantings or crops, the Commission discussed during the public hearing configurations of fencing that could both protect potential crops to be planted and allow wildlife to move through the perimeters of the subject parcel. This included examples of alternative configurations from properties located at Natoma Road and Robleda Road. Ultimately, the Commission made modifications to the fencing design to incorporate wildlife-friendly fences at various points of the subject property to allow wildlife to pass through the site. There is no additional evidence suggesting that such configuration would prevent the applicant from using the property for agricultural purposes. The applicant has not made additional showings despite being given multiple opportunities to do so.
The City Council notes that the height and setbacks of the proposed new fencing are compliant with standards set forth under the Fence Ordinance. However, such technical requirements are not the only considerations under the Municipal Code and zoning permits for fences are not issued in a ministerial manner. The Fence Ordinance was enacted to preserve the Town’s natural characteristics and rural features while recognizing private property owners’ ability to fence their properties. The Fence Ordinance and permit review ordinances specifically authorize the Planning Commission to approve zoning permits with reasonable conditions it deems necessary. Based on a review of the record below, the evidence and testimony received by the Commission and Council provide ample basis to determine that the March 3, 2022 Conditions of Approval were reasonable and necessary.
Thus, the City Council finds that the Conditions of Approval imposed for the Zoning Permit on March 3, 2022 were reasonable and necessary for the proposed project and to achieve the purposes of the Fence Ordinance and the Municipal Code, and thus were within the Planning Commission’s discretion to impose. The City Council further finds that there was substantial evidence in the record below to support the Planning Commission’s approval of the Zoning Permit application with the Conditions of Approval imposed on March 3, 2022.

Based on the entirety of the record before it, which includes without limitation: the Los Altos Hills General Plan; the Los Altos Hills Municipal Code, including but not limited to the Los Altos Hills Fence Ordinance and zoning and site development codes; the Los Altos Hills Land Use Diagram; all applications, correspondences, all oral and written comments, site plans, and all reports, submittals, presentations, recordings, minutes, written correspondence, and public testimony submitted as part of the duly noticed July 6, 2021 Site Development public hearing, the Los Altos Hills Planning Commission’s duly noticed August 5, 2021, October 7, 2021, January 13, 2022 and March 3, 2022 public hearings, and the City Council’s duly noticed April 21, 2022 public hearing; and any other evidence and testimony presented in the record below, the City Council of the Town of Los Altos Hills makes the following supplemental findings with regard to the adoption of Resolution No. 48-22 on April 21, 2022 denying an appeal of the Planning Commission Imposed Conditions of Approval for a Zoning Permit for new fencing at 28001 Elena Road (APN 182-02-016)(ZP21-0047) (“Zoning Permit”):
a. The May 27, 2021 Zoning Permit application for new fencing at 28001 Elena Road was considered and acted upon by the Planning Commission in accordance with the procedures set forth under the Los Altos Hills Municipal Code.
Under Los Altos Hills Municipal Code Section 10-1.507, otherwise known as the Town’s Fence Ordinance, either a Zoning Permit or a Site Development Permit would be required in order to construct new fences. Section 10-1.507(e)(3) of the Municipal Code states that Zoning Permit requests for certain types of fences are to be reviewed by the Planning Director with notice to adjacent neighbors and pursuant to a public hearing with such notice. This includes, among other things, vinyl coated chain-link fences along any road right-of-way, fences or walls longer than one thousand (1,000) linear feet, and any fence proposal “deemed appropriate by the Planning Director for a noticed hearing.” The Planning Director is to provide public notice and conduct the permit review hearing pursuant to Section 10-2.1305(b), except that public notice is only required to be provided to adjacent neighbors. Section 10-2.1305(b) then provides the Planning Director the authority to either deny the permit; to review and issue the permit with reasonable conditions of approval; or to refer such fence Zoning Permit applications to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission is tasked with reviewing and either approve or deny the application under Section 10-2.1305(c).
The Zoning Permit application was filed on May 27, 2021. It was first considered at a duly noticed Site Development public hearing on July 6, 2021. A number of public comments raised concerns about property boundaries, wildlife movements throughout the property, the sloped features of the property and the proposed chain-link fence designs.
Based on these concerns, the application was referred to the Planning Commission by the Planning Director pursuant to the authority under Sections 10-1.507(e) (including subsection (e)(3)) and 10-2.1305(b). The Planning Commission reviewed the application at four (4) duly noticed public hearings: August 5, 2021, October 7, 2021, January 13, Attachment 2
Exhibit A Page 4
2022, and March 3, 2022. Notice was provided for each public hearing consistent with Section 10-1.1005 of the Municipal Code including mailing to property owners within a 500-foot radius of the project, publication on the Town’s website, and posting at public locations and at the proposed project site. As such, the Planning Commission heard the matter pursuant to public hearings in compliance with the procedural requirements set forth under the Municipal Code, including providing multiple opportunities for the applicant to be heard and address inquiries from the Commission. Therefore, the City Council finds that the Zoning Permit application was properly considered by the Commission in accordance with the procedures set forth under the Municipal Code. b. The March 14, 2022 appeal of the Conditions of Approval Imposed by the Planning Commission were considered and acted upon by the City Council in accordance with the procedures set forth under the Los Altos Hills Municipal Code.
Decisions of the Planning Commission are appealable to the City Council pursuant to Section 10-1.1009 of the Municipal Code within twenty-one (21) days following the decision prior to it becoming final. The Planning Commission approved the Zoning Permit with conditions of approval on March 3, 2022. The appeal from that decision regarding the Conditions of Approval imposed by the Planning Commission was timely filed with the City Council on March 14, 2022. Consistent with the requirement under Section 10-1.1010 of the Municipal Code, the City Council set a public hearing within forty-five (45) days from receipt of the appeal on April 21, 2022 and conducted the public hearing on such date to consider the matter. The City Council received public testimony and provided the applicant an opportunity to be heard and respond to questions from the City Council.
Therefore, the City Council finds that the March 14 appeal was properly considered in accordance with the procedures set forth under the Municipal Code. c. There was substantial evidence in the record below to support the Planning Commission’s approval of the Zoning Permit application with the Conditions of Approval imposed on March 3, 2022.
i. The Planning Commission was authorized to review and issue the requested Zoning Permit with such reasonable conditions as it deems necessary.
The Zoning Permit application was referred to the Planning Commission by the Town’s Planning Director as authorized under Sections 10-1.507(e) and 10-2.1305(b) of the Municipal Code. The Planning Commission is directed to consider and act on the application under Section 10-2.1305(c). That section authorizes the Planning Commission to issue the requested permit “with such reasonable conditions as it deems necessary” to achieve the purposes of, in the context of this application, the Fence Ordinance provisions under the Zoning Code. This authority provides the Planning Commission the ability to impose conditions that are reasonably related to the proposed new fencing under the Zoning Permit. The City Council notes in particular that although Section 10-2.1305 is normally utilized by the Town’s Planning Director and Planning Commission to review site development applications, the provisions of that section apply in this case because of the specific directives of Section 10-1.507(e). Therefore, the City Council finds that the
