AGENDA ITEM #2.D
TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS
MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 16, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Council
FROM: Peter Pirnejad, City Manager
RE: Appointment to the North County Library Authority
The City of Los Altos has requested that a second Councilmember be appointed to the North County Library Authority (NCLA). A community volunteer has served on the committee for two terms and the City of Los Altos is now requesting two Councilmembers serve. Councilmember Schmidt is currently serving on the authority. It is requested that the Council appoint a second Councilmember to the NCLA. The NCLA meets two times per year.
As a special tax district, the North County Library Authority (NCLA) is funded via a parcel tax that was approved by the voters in June 2010. As such, the Authority is authorized to levy a qualified special tax of $76 per parcel per year. The special tax has been levied for 20 consecutive fiscal years, starting in the fiscal year that began on July 1, 2010, and ending the fiscal year that begins on July 1, 2029.
The revenue generated by the proposed parcel tax has been used to expand the service hours and book collections at the two Los Altos libraries over those levels possible with only County funding. Funds can be utilized to maintain library hours, purchase books and materials, support library programs, and for other general library purposes.

Date: Thursday, March 16, 2023 2:04:53 PM
We've been having trouble with internet service. My first two attempts to send this say they did not go through. Please ignore any other emails from me on this same subject if they do eventually go through. This email replaces them. Thanks, Suzanne _________________________________________________________ Hello –
This is regarding Agenda Item #2E: Appointment to the North County Library Authority.
For the past eight years I have enjoyed serving the residents of Los Altos Hills as their representative on the North County Library Authority (NCLA). From this experience, I strongly feel it is not in the best interests of the residents of Los Altos Hills to appoint a second Council Member instead of a citizen from the public as Los Altos Hills has done for 38 years, since the inception of NCLA.
Background:
NCLA came into existence in 1985 after a group of Los Altos and Los Altos Hills’ citizens approached the Los Altos City Council members with a plan to tax themselves if all the money raised went to the library to keep the Los Altos Library and Woodland Branch Library open longer hours. (This action was triggered by a combination of Proposition 13 and the early 1980’s recession coupled with loss of both Federal and State financial support for local libraries. This decreased the amount the cities in our county were able to provide for their libraries, resulting in all branch libraries in the Santa Clara County Library District (SCCLD), except Woodland, to close, as well as curtailed the operating hours at the main city libraries including closing the doors Sundays and Mondays). A Joint Power Authority (JPA) agreement was signed, creating NCLA, a Special Tax District. The two cities, Los Altos Hills and Los Altos, agreed to cover the costs of operating NCLA (administrative/accounting support, audit, legal, consultants) so that all money collected from the taxpayers went to the Library. The JPA specifies five commissioners will be appointed, two by Los Altos, two by Los Altos Hills and one by the Library Commission. None need to be City Council members. Several of the Council members in 1985 had been involved in working with the residents to create NCLA. When it came to appointing commissioners for that initial NCLA oversight board, they appointed themselves – two Council members from Los Altos and one Council member from Los Altos Hills. It has remained that way for thirty eight years.
In May, I will have been the NCLA representative from the public-at-large for Los Altos Hills for eight years. During that time, I was able to accomplish many achievements that benefitted the residents of Los Altos Hills that would not have occurred if a second Council member had been appointed eight years ago. I have never tooted my own horn before, and I am uncomfortable doing so now, but I feel forced to speak up given the existing request by the City Manager.
Here are some of the items that would not have happened if I had not been appointed by Los Altos Hills Council eight years ago:
1. Extended open hours on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings at the Los Altos Library.
2. Full day opening on Sundays from 10:00am-7:00pm at the Los Altos Library (used to be open 12-6).
Supplemental No. 1
AGENDA ITEM #2.E
Distributed 3/16/23
3. Extended morning hours at Woodland Library, creating consistent morning hours at Woodland, open every day at 11:00am instead of 3 days opening at 1:00pm.
4. Woodland Library open on Sundays. Woodland is now open seven days a week.
Never in its history had Woodland been open on Sunday. Joe Simitian raved about the huge crowd and enthusiastic reception by the residents to have their local library open on Sundays. This triggered the Library District JPA to set the goal for SCCLD to open all the libraries in the Santa Clara County Library District on Sundays.
5. $58,977 of taxpayer money belonging to the NCLA returned to NCLA by the City of Los Altos. This was due to an incorrect calculation of interest due NCLA.
6. Transfer of all NCLA funds to one account, secure at the County Investment Fund.
Now Parcel Tax receipts are deposited by direct transfer from the County Tax Collector to NCLA, allowing interest to be earned from day one. Payments to the library are by direct transfer, simplifying the administrative handling of NCLA funds.
7. $256,272 of taxpayer’s money credited back to NCLA by SCCLD. This was a result of incorrect billing of library staff time used during the COVID shutdown.
Had I not been on NCLA, and willing to put in the literally hundreds and hundreds of hours of time, and the persistent effort, that resulted in the realization of these items, the citizens of Los Altos Hills would not be enjoying today the extended open hours at the main Los Altos Library and the Woodland Library. They would have lost $315,249.00 of their own tax money, which had been entrusted to NCLA to keep secure, and to apply toward hours and services that they, the taxpayers, could personally enjoy at the library. One or more of the Council members on NCLA initially pushed back on each of these items, not wanting to question financial reports or documents provided by the City and the County, or not believing there was enough money from the Parcel Tax to be able to consider staffing any more open hours at the library so we shouldn’t spend the time exploring it.
As an illustration, at our last NCLA meeting in January, the approval of the final FY21 Audit was on the Agenda. The Audit had been attached to the Agenda Packet just hours before the meeting. I abstained, saying it had arrived too late to have a chance to review it and questioned why our representative from Maze wasn’t there to present it. The audit was approved and accepted. The problem? The final audit hadn’t been completed yet. An early and inaccurate version of the audit had been attached to the packet. The factor here is time.
It takes time to do this well and Council Members do not have the amount of extra time required. It is often a Council Member who will say at a meeting that they have to leave after an hour because they have another meeting, and are not able to stay for the full NCLA meeting.
During the eight years I have been on NCLA, we have met between five and eight times each year, not two times a year as stated in the memorandum. During COVID we met monthly, on the months we did not have a major meeting, to approve the Emergency Declaration. Ad Hoc Committees met additional times. I and the other non-Council Commissioner on NCLA were almost always the ones assigned to the Ad Hoc committees because the Council Members were too busy. During the two years of the Library Redevelopment Task Force (I was NCLA’s representative), we met every week, with additional work between meetings in preparation.
Currently NCLA is pursuing an expansion to the Los Altos Library to replace the patron space and services lost when the Friends of the Library moved into the Library, taking away patron access to space and books. This will entail a representative from NCLA be appointed to the Task Force, which will be another big time commitment. Which Council Member will have that time available?
Let’s talk about the rising costs at NCLA. The costs have been increasing at NCLA because of changes the Los Altos City Manager has requested. NCLA used to use the services of the Los Altos City Attorney if there was a legal question. NCLA was charged the few hours, at the
City’s rate, for the time the attorney spent. The City Manager of Los Altos requested that NCLA hire its own attorney, which we did. Costs went from around $2000/year to $10,000- 15,000/year. Until FY21-22, NCLA’s audit was conducted as a subset of the Los Altos audit.
The City Manager requested NCLA hire its own audit firm. This took time to research firms, interview, call references, negotiate a contract. Which Council member would have volunteered to do this? No staff assistance was available to help. The cost to NCLA went from approximately $2500/year to $8500/year. The City of Los Altos has always handled senior tax exemption requests for NCLA (there are on average about 12 a year). This year the City Manager asked NCLA to hire an outside vendor to process these requests. That cost is $2500/year. Though the JPA Agreement states “The City of Los Altos will provide staff and basic services at no cost” to NCLA, the City Manager of Los Altos has asked the Los Altos Hills City Manager to pay for some of the staff costs, in particular accounting and finance. He agreed. An outside contractor will be engaged and the cost proportioned between the two cities.
NCLA’s role is to set and collect the tax levy, and to have oversight responsibility that will ensure the money is secure, invested well, and used in the most effective and efficient manner to provide library patrons with extended open hours, additional books and to uphold services at the two Los Altos libraries.
It is not that a Council member cannot do all this. Of course you could. If it was your sole focus. But therein lies the problem. It is not your sole focus, and it can’t be your sole focus, yet the position deserves an appointee who will be able to provide that focus and the time commitment the job requires.
To do justice for the taxpayers of Los Altos Hills, who have entrusted their parcel tax money to an oversight committee (NCLA), I urge you to appoint a frequent user and strong advocate of our Los Altos libraries, who is both comfortable with financial reports and is willing to put in the hours of time needed. I further suggest you send a request to the City of Los Altos asking them to consider appointing one Council member and one citizen-at-large as their two appointees to NCLA, as Los Altos Hills has continued to do for 38 years.
Though I do not wish to serve another four-year term, I am willing to stay on past May until a new candidate is appointed.
Sincerely,
Suzanne Epstein
Your NCLA Representative

City Manager Pirnejad said that Tripepi Smith is a communications firm.
John Swan, Los Altos Hills, said that he agreed with Duffy Price and City Manager Pirnejad. Rather than approve this tonight, he suggested that we take a step back and come up with a game plan. What are we trying to accomplish and if this firm works for us, Duffy Price should be our spokesperson on how to work in the effort to bring back the local land issue to town.
Jim Waschura, Los Altos Hills, agreed with the idea that town residents need information. When the builders remedy issue came to the press, we were getting calls on what is going on in town. The calls inside the town, there wasn't enough information - that is the area that we should spend on to inform our residents.

2. NEW BUSINESS
A. Discussion and Potential City Council Action and Direction to Staff in Response to Residential Burglaries
Council Member Tankha explained that at the February 16, 2023, Regular City Council Meeting, an ad hoc subcommittee of the Council on town safety was formed.
The subcommittee members are Council Members Tankha and Tyson. That subcommittee met yesterday, and in light of the fact that there have been four more residential burglaries since the February 16th City Council Meeting, decided to call a Special City Council Meeting for today.
At the last meeting, Council directed the Sheriff to add two deputies to the evening shift, 5:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m., which is when most burglaries have taken place. The Sheriff’s Office has not been able to fill these openings consistently. Deputies looking for additional hours may sign-up for these shifts, but it is not mandatory, so the Sheriff cannot guarantee that these two additional shifts will be filled each day.
The purpose of today’s meeting is to explore options for keeping the town safer and reducing burglaries, and to receive direction for next steps.

AGENDA ITEM #4.B
2 City Council Special Meeting Minutes
February 28, 2023
Council Member Tyson suggested that the presentation by the City Manager and consultant be heard next.
City Manager Peter Pirnejad and Consultant Bryan Uhler shared a presentation entitled “Burglaries: Preliminary Response Concepts/Options.” City Manager Pirnejad gave an overview of Mr. Uhler’s experience and expertise and described the work and outreach that has been done since the subcommittee meeting.
Actions taken by the Town of Atherton which resulted in a reduction from 45 residential burglaries in one year to 16 in the next were reviewed. Short-, mid- and long-range options based on the Atherton Model were presented.
Council discussion ensued.
Public Comment
Helen Lin-Murphy, Los Altos Hills, asked if staff could look into improving response times and finding ways to influence the Sheriffs priorities.
Dru Anderson, Los Altos Hills, suggested looking over various programs in town and using key pieces such as keeping properties clear 5 feet from the house like the Firewise guidelines to minimize hiding locations.
Courtenay C. Corrigan, Los Altos Hills, expressed that forming private neighborhood watch programs works if one has an organized neighborhood or the funds to hire private patrol. She was in favor of adding a detective due to the unique burglaries occurring.
Jim Waschura, Los Altos Hills, wanted to hear the Council’s opinion on the idea of a Public Safety Committee.
Homi Fatemi, Los Altos Hills, wants to look into State and Federal resources such as a detective to limit criminal activity.
Gary Patou, Los Altos Hills, said we need more law enforcement staff present and is in support of private patrol but believes it is the town’s responsibility.
Carol Gottlieb, Los Altos Hills, proposed that preventing parking on the pathways may reduce criminals’ ability to blend in.
Dorit Perry, Los Altos Hills, asked if burglaries occurred in vacant homes. She said that town should focus on response times. The Sheriff should focus on suspicious behavior and activities rather than traffic violations. She is in favor of hiring private security.

Shelley Osuch, Los Altos Hills, said that cameras in Carmel capture driver, car, and model and would like to see such advances in town. She was wondering if black out car tints were illegal and if the Sheriff could pull over cars with dark tints to deter criminal activity. Lastly, she mentioned notifying neighbors when burglaries occur is important to keep residents informed.
John M., Los Altos Hills, is in favor of a messaging system for residents. He believes the town needs about 6 deputies.
Rajiv Bhateja, Los Altos Hills, shared a presentation on ALPR. He is in favor of private patrol and having a private patrol car driving around town will be a deterrent.
He proposed deploying decoy police cars that move from one place to another. He said that only 10 out of 51 burglaries in 2022 were investigated, which is less than 20%. He emphasized the need to find ways to better utilize ALPR system. He believes that we need a Public Safety Committee. He spoke to the CEO of Flock in hopes of scheduling training for deputies.
Kjell Karlsson, Los Altos Hills, said he is in favor of a Public Safety Committee. He recommended the town hire deputies based on three overtime hours rather than one full-time deputy so that their hours reflect the times we need them. Shifts of full-time deputy cannot be adjusted due to their union contract.
Jim Cruz, Los Altos Hills, is a victim of a burglary. He spoke regarding the Sheriff Department’s handling of the burglary. He said that he remembered seeing motorcycle officers with rifles and believes that made a statement and were effective.
Captain Neil Valenzuela, Santa Clara County Sheriff Department, responded that the contracted response times are as follows: Priority one (ex: alarms) response time set for 9 minutes; Priority two (ex: identity theft, regular call for service) set for 14 minutes; and Priority three (ex: cold theft, parking complaint) set for 25 minutes.
City Manager Pirnejad explained where to find Sheriff reports in City Manager’s Weekly report. The report includes every call made by the Sheriff deputies. He stated that the contract with the Sheriff Departments is on an hourly basis rather than shift basis. The Town of Los Altos Hills gets allocated a certain number of hours. Hours are assigned based on needs. Response times aren’t measured from when the call is made. He recommended having the ALPR discussion at a future Council meeting.
MOTION MADE AND SECONDED: Vice Mayor Mok moved to have the Council appropriate $150,000 from unrestricted reserves to the General Fund in order for the City Manager to elicit competitive bids and execute a contract not to exceed $150,000 for private security. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Tankha.

Staff Report to the City Council
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN
AGREEMENT WITH SHALLACK COLLABORATIVE TO DESIGN
UPGRADES TO THE AUDIO VISUAL, BROAD AND LIGHTING SYSTEMS
IN THE LOS ALTOS HILLS CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $50,000
FROM: Deborah Padovan, City Clerk
APPROVED: Peter Pirnejad, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:
Adopt a Resolution Awarding a Contract to The Shalleck Collaborative, Inc (Shalleck) to Design Upgrades to the Audio Video (AV) and Broadcast Lighting Systems in the Los Altos Hills City Council Chambers in an amount not to exceed $50,000.
BACKGROUND
The audio/visual (AV) equipment for the Council Chambers was originally installed in 2005.
Over the years, several upgrades have been made to the system on an as-needed basis. In 2013, staff utilized funds available in the Comcast Franchise Agreement to add high definition cameras and a production studio in the rear of the chambers. The services and materials were $49,972.
In 2015, further enhancements were made including the implementation of a wireless iPad control and touch panel. The touch panel was wired and permanently installed in the AV rack at a cost of $4,907. In 2016, listening devices were installed for the hearing impaired at a cost of $2,490.
In 2017, the Council approved an agreement to upgrade the system. A Council Ad Hoc Committee was formed to design the system, assist in the bidding process, and awarding of a contract. The Council awarded a contract in the amount of $106,198. The improvements were completed in February 2018.
In 2021, the Technology Committee took the lead in researching AV contractors to assist in designing a hybrid meeting system. The committee selected Coda Technologies to implement a hybrid meeting system in the amount of $10,281. Once the hybrid meeting technology was implemented, Coda Technologies then began assisting staff in service visits as needed.
As the Council is aware, there have been multiple issues with the older pieces of the system breaking down on a regular basis. In discussions with Coda Technologies, AV systems have lifespans, and the current AV system has exceeded its life expectancy and is intermittently failing. In addition, the lighting at the Council Chambers dais needs to be upgraded.

Staff Report to City Council Page 2

March 16, 2023
DISCUSSION
The upgrading of the AV system is a complex project that will take time to complete and likely cost between $400,000 and $500,000. Staff contacted three vendors who provide design work for AV systems, including government organizations. The three vendors each conducted a site visit to determine the scope of work. This contract is only for system design and construction management, which also includes aiding staff through the construction bidding process. A separate request for proposals will be prepared and returned to Council to authorize the actual construction and installation of the system.
In accordance with the Town’s adopted Purchasing Policy, staff received quotes from several vendors and received three written proposals. The bids received are as follows:
Firm Proposal
Salter $36,000
Shalleck Collaborative $44,500
Teecom $59,000
Each bid was reviewed by staff for completeness. The bid from Salter did not include lighting upgrades so was not considered to be responsive. Of the remaining bids, The Shalleck Collaborative was the lowest bidder which met all criteria (audio system architectural and engineering design, broadcast lighting systems, managing construction of the system, staff training, and a warranty and service package). The bid is $44,500, and staff is requesting a contingency of $5,500 for reimbursable expenses as outlined in the bid.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed ordinance amendments are exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to "general exemptions" described in Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, since the ordinance amendments would not have any significant effects on the environment.
2023 CITY COUNCIL STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This request was identified in the City Council Strategic Priorities for 2023 under Increase Effective Service Delivery and Governance.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposal from the Shalleck Collaborative including their scope of work and contingency for reimbursable expenses is $50,000. The $50,000 was included in the FY2022-23 mid-year budget appropriation for this purpose.

Consulting Services Agreement between March 17, 2023
Town of Los Altos Hills and The Shalleck Collaborative, Inc. Page 7 of 13 herein required, Town may, at its sole option exercise any of the following remedies, which are alternatives to other remedies Town may have and are not the exclusive remedy for Consultant’s breach:
Obtain such insurance and deduct and retain the amount of the premiums for such insurance from any sums due under the Agreement;

Section 5. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONSULTANT’S RESPONSIBILITIES.

The Consultant’s obligation to defend and indemnify shall not be excused because of the Consultant’s inability to evaluate Liability or because the Consultant evaluates Liability and determines that the Consultant is not liable to the claimant. The Consultant must respond within 30 days, to the tender of any claim for defense and indemnity by the Town, unless this time has been extended by the Town. If the Consultant fails to accept or reject a tender of defense and indemnity within 30 days, in addition to any other remedy authorized by law, so much of the money due the Consultant under and by virtue of this Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the Town, may be retained by the Town until disposition has been made of the claim or suit for damages, or until the Consultant accepts or rejects the tender of defense, whichever occurs first.
With respect to third party claims against the Consultant, the Consultant waives any and all rights of any type to express or implied indemnity against the Indemnitees.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, to the extent this Agreement is a “construction contract” as defined by California Civil Code Section 2782, as may be amended from time to time, such duties of consultant to indemnify shall not apply when to do so would be prohibited by California Civil Code Section 2782.
In the event that Consultant or any employee, agent, or subcontractor of Consultant providing services under this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of Town, Consultant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Town for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Consultant or its employees, agents, or subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions, which would otherwise be the responsibility of Town.

re: Los Altos Hills – Town Council Chambers
Proposal for AV Consulting Services
Dear Deborah,
Thank you for inviting The Shalleck Collaborative, Inc. (The SC) to join your design team for upgrades to the AV and Broadcast Lighting systems at the Los Altos Hills Town Council Chambers. In response to your request, we are pleased to submit the following proposal for Audio Visual (AV) consulting services. If authorized to proceed, this proposal would become the agreement or the scope of work attachment to a formal agreement based on standard AIA documents.
We would also like to take this opportunity to suggest that other trades may be required to complete the project, depending on extent of work. In this case, an electrical engineer may be required. If so, we can retain an electrical engineer under our contract if desired.
Proposed Approach
We have honed our approach to the design of Town/City Council Chambers over the years. At the core of our method is stakeholder engagement. We conduct initial interviews with all stakeholders to fully understand expectations and discuss solutions. As we move through design, we conduct ongoing review sessions to ensure we’re on track and on budget. Parallel to those efforts, we arrange for any necessary hardware demonstrations, so the users will have a clear understanding of how they’ll use the system.
Finally, we assist with bid interviews and site walks to ensure the selected AV integrator will deliver the project as desired.
Project Description
This proposal assumes the project to include updates and upgrades to the audio/video and lighting systems as outlined below. The project will be administered as a town-funded, design-bid-build project and under the jurisdiction of the local authorities.
Scope of Work
Field of Responsibility
The SC’s work will be in two basic areas of consultation: architectural and engineering aspects that affect the facility’s function as a council chamber, and the AV and Broadcast Lighting systems and accommodations. Typical architectural and engineering guidance includes:
Audience chamber design and sightlines
Structural, mechanical, and electrical criteria for AV and Lighting systems Attachment 3
Los Altos Hills - Town Council Chambers January 31, 2023 Proposal for AV Consulting Services Page 2 of 7
AV Systems Documentation
This proposal includes planning, criteria, design and oversight as described below for the following AV Systems:
Council Chambers/Broadcast Room
o Complete HD broadcast system with switcher/router/cameras/controls/CG/etc. o Complete virtual/hybrid digital meeting integration (WebEx/Zoom/Teams/etc.) o Complete audio/video presentation system with wired & wireless connections o Touchpanel control system
o Dais mic/speaker systems (w/ voting and/or request to speak) o Agenda management/streaming/recording platform integration o Assistive Listening
o Speaker timer system
o Bulletin Board system for local-access TV channel and/or digital signage o Option for LED video display to replace existing front projection* o Option for Live and/or AI-based Closed Captioning
o Option for Live and/or AI-based Translation
o Cabling infrastructure
o Broadcast Lighting Systems*
o Training/Warranty/SLA package
Lobby/Overflow
o Updates as needed to lobby and/or ancillary room AV systems for overflow audio/video and/or digital signage
* Requires electrical engineer (see below)
Electrical Engineering
If necessary to accommodate the addition of an LED display, Broadcast Lighting, and/or other related electrical systems, an electrical engineer would be required. Electrical engineering services are not included in this scope of work but can be added as an additional service. Alternately, the Town may elect to engage an electrical engineer directly.
Related Services Limits
Related structural support elements shall be the responsibility of a Structural Engineer, engaged directly by the awarded contractor.
The AV equipment will be specified in Division 27 of the specifications. All related electrical design, components and services that control or fall under Division 26 shall be the responsibility of the Electrical Engineer. For low voltage systems, this proposal includes specification of wiring devices, point to point diagrams, infrastructure criteria, AV conduit size & wire types, but not design or documentation of the Div. 26 infrastructure such as electrical conduit size and route, power wire, back boxes, or any power systems.
This proposal assumes that all building-integrated systems are designed, coordinated, documented and bid within the base building design and construction process.
The SC will not be providing services in acoustics/noise isolation or tel/data/IT in this scope of work.
Los Altos Hills - Town Council Chambers January 31, 2023 Proposal for AV Consulting Services Page 3 of 7
Professional stamping and representation to building agencies is not included in this scope of work. In our experience, professional stamping of AV systems documents is not normally required by building agencies.
Design Phase
Based upon a written authorization, we will provide the following services during the Design phase of the project:
Design: Within our field of responsibility, we will develop a schematic design in the areas for which we are responsible. We will work within the context of the project to determine the best use of available resources with the intent of maximizing aesthetic impact and system functionality. Review and advice will take place in meetings as outlined below and be issued in the form of written memoranda and sketches as required.
Product Demonstrations: We will identify products that the user group may like to see in person and arrange for on-site and/or virtual demonstrations as needed. Products may include mic/speaker/voting/request-to-speak devices at dais, AI-based captioning and/or translation systems, automated broadcast switching,
Engineering Accommodations: We will provide guidance on the required engineering accommodations. Review and advice will take place in meetings as outlined below and be issued in the form of sketches and written reports and memoranda.
AV Systems Narrative: We will provide a narrative that outlines the approach to be taken for AV systems within our field of responsibility.
AV Systems Budget Recommendations: We will provide budget recommendations for the systems in our scope.
AV Systems Documentation: We will provide four milestone drawings and specifications sets.
Deliverables will include contract document -level documents that shall set forth in detail the systems within our field of responsibility, sufficient to bid and construct the systems, and to be used for coordination with other Consultants.
Drawings will be developed in the current release of AutoCAD or Revit and specifications will be in standard CSI format. Documents will be provided electronically only.
Review: We will provide a thorough review of one preliminary set and the final set of drawings to aid in the overall coordination of the documents. Recommendations will be provided in a written report and/or marked-up drawings.
Meetings: Meetings and related travel during the Design phase of the project within this proposal are limited to:

Pre-Bid Meeting: Meetings and related travel during the Bidding phase of the project within this proposal are limited to:
One pre-bid meeting in Los Altos Hills, CA
Redesign: Should it be necessary to invoke substantial redesign of the systems for which we are responsible due to the receipt of bids over the Client’s approved budget and contingency for those systems, we will provide revised documents at no additional cost. Any redesign efforts due to overages outside of our systems responsibility, or revisions in their criteria or scope based on other Consultants work will be considered an additional service.
Construction Administration Phase
Based upon the successful award of the contract for construction and authorization to proceed, we will provide construction administration services as outlined herein within our field of responsibility.
RFI’s, bulletins and change orders: We will respond to issues that arise within our field of responsibility.
Shop Drawings: Within 10 business days after receipt, we will review and stamp up to two submissions of shop drawings for each specification section we author. We will review shop drawings of systems directly related or adjacent to system function such as structural and sprinkler layouts in AV spaces, mechanical and related electrical. For areas outside of our field, we will provide a letter of comments and/or mark-ups, but we will not stamp them.
Intermediate Site Visits: We will visit the site during construction at times appropriate to observe the work in progress in conformance with the design intent of the bid documents and to discuss and assist in coordinating solutions. We will provide a written report after each visit. Intermediate site visits and related travel within this scope of work will be limited to:
Two partial personnel-day visits
Final Checkouts: Based upon written notice from the Contractor that the work within our field is complete, we will provide a preliminary and a final checkout of systems in our scope. A written punchlist will be provided. Further backcheck of systems will be considered an additional service. We will include in our specifications a clause stating that if we are requested to review systems that are incomplete in actuality, the Contractor will be backcharged for a repeat checkout.

AGENDA ITEM #4.F
TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS March 16, 2023
Staff Report to the City Council
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THE
MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT WITH OTHER SANTA CLARA VALLEY
MUNICIPALITIES TO ALLOW FOR CONTINUATION OF THE SANTA
CLARA VALLEY URBAN RUNOFF POLLUTION PREVENTION PROGRAM
AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE
AMENDMENT
FROM: WooJae Kim, Public Works Director
APPROVED: Peter Pirnejad, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:
Approve the Fourth Amendment (Attachment 2) to the Memorandum of Agreement with other Santa Clara Valley municipalities to allow for continuation of the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program and authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment.
BACKGROUND:
The Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program (SCVURPPP) was originally formed in 1990 through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) among Santa Clara Valley-based local government, including the Town of Los Altos Hills. SCVURPPP assists local government members to comply with a California Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board)’s San Francisco Bay Municipal Regional Stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit for discharging stormwater runoff from the municipal separate storm sewer systems. The SCVURPPP consortium is comprised of the Santa Clara Valley Water District (Valley Water), the County of Santa Clara, and thirteen cities and towns, including the Town of Los Altos Hills.
Most Bay Area municipalities, including members of the SCVURPPP, were reissued a NPDES Stormwater Permit last spring, which became effective on July 1, 2022. This permit includes many of the requirements that were included in previous municipal regional Stormwater Permits. It also contains several new requirements designed to further address high priority water quality issues in Bay Area receiving waters.
In addition to helping negotiate the Stormwater Permit’s requirements with the Water Board, the SCVURPPP staff supports its members in complying with the permit’s requirements. This work includes coordination of efforts and leveraging of resources among the SCVURPPP’s participants for community outreach, water quality monitoring, research and development, collaboration with other stormwater programs, and reporting to the Water Board as required.
AGENDA ITEM #4.G
W.K.
P.P.
Staff Report to City Council Page 2
SCVURPPP Fourth Amendment
March 16, 2023
DISCUSSION:
SCVURPPP has been an effective program to its local government members. SCVURPPP and member agencies have received several national awards issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Since the original formation, all participating local government members have authorized the continuation of the SCVURPPP through adoption of non-substantive amendments to the MOA.
The current term of the SCVURPPP MOA, as established through its last amendment, is set to expire one year after the effective date of a new Stormwater Permit issued by the Water Board, which is on June 30, 2023. The Management Committee overseeing SCVURPPP has voted to have the members submit an amendment to extend its term for another period running a year beyond the new Stormwater Permit’s duration. In support of the requested amendment approvals, the Management Committee directed a review of the SCVURPPP’s internal controls, practices, and performance by the firm, Hilton, Farnkopf and Hobson (HF&H). The review was completed in January 2023 and concluded that SCVURPPP functions and budget are appropriately managed and in line with other Bay Area stormwater programs.
Based on the MOA’s terms, extensions of SCVURPPP term must be unanimously approved by all participating municipalities within three months of being proposed. The Management Committee adopted such a recommendation on January 19, 2023, so that the participating municipalities would have until April 19, 2023, to consider this matter and execute approvals.
Staff recommends acceptance of the amendment to a prior MOA with other Santa Clara Valley municipalities to allow continuation of SCVURPPP.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a "project" within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b). 2023 CITY COUNCIL WORK PLAN:
This action is not identified on the 2023 City Council Work Plan, but it supports the Council value and priority area of “Protect & Maintain Infrastructure.” FISCAL IMPACT:
The Town will continue to contribute the Town’s share (0.43%) of the SCVURPPP budget, which is estimated to be $24,339 for FY2023-24.

1 FOURTH AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT
PROVIDING FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE SANTA CLARA VALLEY URBAN RUNOFF
POLLUTION PREVENTION PROGRAM
THIS FOURTH AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT PROVIDING FOR
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SANTA CLARA VALLEY URBAN RUNOFF
POLLUTION PREVENTION PROGRAM (the “Amendment”) is entered into by and between the SANTA CLARA VALLEY WATER DISTRICT, a local public agency of the State of California (“District”); CITY OF CAMPBELL, a municipal corporation of the State of California; CITY OF CUPERTINO, a municipal corporation of the State of California; CITY OF LOS ALTOS, a municipal corporation of the State of California; TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS, a municipal corporation of the State of California; TOWN OF LOS GATOS, a municipal corporation of the State of California; CITY OF MILPITAS, a municipal corporation of the State of California; CITY OF MONTE SERENO, a municipal corporation of the State of California; CITY OF MOUNTAIN VIEW, a municipal corporation of the State of California; CITY OF PALO ALTO, a municipal corporation of the State of California; CITY OF SAN JOSE, a municipal corporation of the State of California; CITY OF SANTA CLARA, a municipal corporation of the State of California; CITY OF SARATOGA, a municipal corporation of the State of California; CITY OF SUNNYVALE, a municipal corporation of the State of California; and COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA, a political subdivision of the State of California.
All of the above-mentioned entities are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Parties” or individually as “Party.”
RECITALS
A. The Parties previously entered into that certain Agreement Providing For Implementation of the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program (the “Agreement” or “MOA”) pursuant to which the Parties established certain terms and conditions relating to the implementation and oversight of the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program (the “Program”), including a cost sharing allocation, which was appended thereto as Exhibit A. Unless otherwise set forth herein, all terms shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement as amended. A copy of the Agreement inclusive of Exhibit A is attached hereto as Appendix 1. A copy of the Agreement inclusive of all of its previous amendments is available via the internet at https://scvurppp.org/wpcontent/uploads/2019/10/MOA_2016_complete_package_DEC_2016.pdf); B. The Agreement originally provided for a five-year term, which, based on its execution, was set to conclude on or about March 10, 2005. However, on or about February 20, 2005, the Parties unanimously entered into a First Amendment to the Agreement, which extended the term of the Agreement by one additional year; Attachment 2
2 C. The Parties thereafter unanimously entered into a Second Amendment to the Agreement, which extended the term of the amended Agreement by “one fiscal year beyond the termination date of the (then) next NPDES Permit issued to the Parties, including any administrative extension of the (then) next NPDES Permit’s term which occurred pursuant to the NPDES regulations.” The next NPDES permit applicable to the Parties (and others) was subsequently adopted by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Francisco Bay Region (“RWQCB SFBR”) on October 14, 2009 and was known as the Municipal Regional Permit (“MRP”) because it covered numerous public agencies in the San Francisco Bay Region in addition to the Parties. The MRP was then administratively extended until a new NPDES Permit applicable to the Parties (and the other public entities in the San Francisco Bay Region) was adopted by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Francisco Bay Region, on November 19, 2015 (“MRP 2.0”). MRP 2.0 became effective on January 1, 2016 and was originally scheduled to terminate on December 31, 2020; D. The Parties thereafter unanimously entered into a Third Amendment to the Agreement, which once again extended the term of the amended Agreement by “one fiscal year beyond the termination date of the next NPDES Permit issued to the Parties, including any administrative extension of the next NPDES Permit’s term which occurred pursuant to the NPDES regulations.” MRP 2.0 was then administratively extended, largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, until a new NPDES Permit applicable to the Parties (and the other public entities in the San Francisco Bay Region) was adopted by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Francisco Bay Region, on May 11, 2022 (“MRP 3.0”). MRP 3.0 became effective on July 1, 2022 and is currently scheduled to terminate on June 30, 2027 unless administratively extended; E. The Parties expect to utilize the Program to continue to represent their interests relative to MRP 3.0 (including with respect to an administrative appeal of its adoption that the State Water Resources Control Board is considering to pursue on its own motion), to help them effectuate certain aspects of compliance with MRP 3.0, and, beyond that, in negotiating the terms of a further renewed NPDES Permit when MRP 3.0 nears the end of its anticipated five-year term and any administrative extension provided thereto;
F. The Parties also expect to continue to utilize the Program’s preferred approach of achieving consensus to resolve issues and reach decisions, and to rely on the Majority Vote mechanism set forth in Section 2.08 of the Agreement at the Management Committee level only when consensus-based resolutions appear or become elusive; G. The Parties now desire to update the Agreement as previously amended and further extend the term of the MOA as set forth below; H. Section 7.02 of the MOA provides that it may be amended by the unanimous written agreement of the Parties and that all Parties agree to bring any proposed amendments to their Council or Board, as applicable, within three (3) months following acceptance by the Management Committee; and
3 I. The Program’s Management Committee accepted this Amendment for referral to the Parties’ Councils and/or Boards at its meeting on January 19, 2023.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HERETO FURTHER AGREE AS
FOLLOWS:
1. Recognition of Current Permit. Recital F of the Agreement, as previously amended, is hereby further amended by the addition of the following subsections:
6. Order No. R2-2009-0074 (the Municipal Regional Permit, NPDES Permit CAS612008); adopted October 14, 2009 and amended by the RWQCB SFBR on November 28, 2011;
7. Order No. R2-2015-0049 (MRP 2.0, NPDES Permit CAS612008); adopted by the RWQCB SFBR on November 19, 2015;
8. Order No. R2-2022-0018 (MRP 3.0, NPDES Permit CAS612008); adopted by the RWQCB SFBR on May 11, 2022.
2. Extension of Term of Agreement. Sections 6.02 and 6.02.01 of the Agreement, as previously amended, are hereby replaced as follows:
This Agreement shall have a term extending one fiscal year beyond the date of termination of MRP 3.0; such termination date shall, however, be deemed to include any administrative extension of MRP 3.0 which occurs or arises pursuant to the NPDES regulations or any modification of the MRP 3.0
termination date that arises from an NPDES permitting action undertaken by the RWQCB SFBR or California State Water
Resources Control Board.
3. Superseding Effect. This Fourth Amendment of the Agreement shall supplement all prior amendments of the Agreement and supersede any conflicting provisions of the prior amendments of the Agreement.

SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ISSUE A
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR ANNUAL LANDSCAPE
MAINTENANCE SERVICES
FROM: WooJae Kim, Public Works Director
APPROVED: Peter Pirnejad, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council authorizing the City Manager to issue a Request for Proposal for Annual Landscape Maintenance Services.
BACKGROUND:
The current landscaping maintenance services agreement for the Town Hall, Arastradero Path, Edith Park, Foothill College and El Monte Pedestrian and Bike Path, Fremont Road Path, and Westwind Community Barn is expiring June 30, 2023.
DISCUSSION:
Staff is planning to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit proposals from qualified landscaping maintenance companies with expertise in vegetation management, irrigation, water management, landscaping, pest control without harmful chemicals, soils, and fertilizers to maintain the landscaping at the Town Hall, Arastradero Path, Edith Park, Foothill College and El Monte Pedestrian and Bike Path, Fremont Road Path, and Westwind Community Barn in a scheduled and professional manner. As an option, staff will also obtain proposals for the landscaping maintenance of a portion of Purissima Park including parking lot and pathways.
In order to prioritize the construction and maintenance of pathways, resources of the Town’s maintenance staff may need to be shifted to focus on pathways. An option to allow this is to outsource the maintenance of portions of Purissima Park. Currently, the maintenance staff spends approximately 1,000 hours per year working on Purissima Park. While the in-house maintenance crew would continue to support getting the baseball fields ready for Little League, staff expects outsources approximately 800 hours (twoperson crew, half a day, and twice a week) would not impact the quality of the parks and ground.
Staff will seek proposals from landscaping maintenance companies to perform weekly maintenance of Town’s sites that involves a full range of landscaping activities including irrigation systems operation. Purissima Park, including parking lot and paths, will require AGENDA ITEM #4.I

The landscaping activities encompass tree, shrub, and ground covering trimming, edging, fertilization, soil deficiency remediation, weeding, weed abatement, and pest control (without the use of harmful chemicals). Irrigation systems operations includes the maintenance, adjustment, installation, and repair of a variety of components, such as: irrigation controllers, valves, moisture sensing devices and sprinkler heads of a variety of manufactured brands and models.

The cost for the current annual landscaping maintenance for the six sites is $115,320, which does not include Purissima Park. If Purissima Park is added, staff anticipates the total annual maintenance cost to be between $160,000 to $200,000 for the new contract, factoring in inflation. The landscaping maintenance agreement would be funded through General, Pathways, and Westwind Barn Funds accordingly.

Consulting Services Agreement between [EFFECTIVE DATE]

Consulting Services Agreement between [EFFECTIVE DATE]
Town of Los Altos Hills and ______________ Page 8 of 14 Consultant shall indemnify, defend with counsel acceptable to Town, and hold harmless Town and its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, claims, expenses, and costs (including without limitation, attorney’s fees and costs and fees of litigation) (collectively, “Liability”) of every nature arising out of or in connection with Consultant’s performance of the Services or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except such Liability caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of Town.
The Consultant’s obligation to defend and indemnify shall not be excused because of the Consultant’s inability to evaluate Liability or because the Consultant evaluates Liability and determines that the Consultant is not liable to the claimant. The Consultant must respond within 30 days, to the tender of any claim for defense and indemnity by the Town, unless this time has been extended by the Town. If the Consultant fails to accept or reject a tender of defense and indemnity within 30 days, in addition to any other remedy authorized by law, so much of the money due the Consultant under and by virtue of this Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the Town, may be retained by the Town until disposition has been made of the claim or suit for damages, or until the Consultant accepts or rejects the tender of defense, whichever occurs first.
With respect to third party claims against the Consultant, the Consultant waives any and all rights of any type to express or implied indemnity against the Indemnitees.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, to the extent this Agreement is a “construction contract” as defined by California Civil Code Section 2782, as may be amended from time to time, such duties of consultant to indemnify shall not apply when to do so would be prohibited by California Civil Code Section 2782.
In the event that Consultant or any employee, agent, or subcontractor of Consultant providing services under this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of Town, Consultant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Town for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Consultant or its employees, agents, or subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions, which would otherwise be the responsibility of Town.
