responsibility
on this
Committee /
Commission
interests you?
I had an insightful conversation with Ms. Emina Mahic about the LAHYC and their goals. Two aspects that stood out to me were the Youth Leadership Conference and the annual Los Altos Hills Picnic.
For the Leadership Conference, I’d love to help organize interactive workshops and panels that equip students with leadership, public speaking, and problem-solving skills.
And for the picnic, I’d work to enhance community engagement with interactive scavenger hunts on local history and activities that bring residents together across all ages.

ITEM 4A Staff Report
TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS April 17, 2025
Staff Report to the City Council
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION REGARDING THE CALIFORNIA FIRE MARSHAL’S FIRE
HAZARD SEVERITY ZONE MAPS IN LOS ALTOS HILLS AND POTENTIAL
AMENDMENT OPTIONS
FROM: Jay Bradford, Community Development Director
APPROVED: Peter Pirnejad, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:
1. Discuss and evaluate the California Fire Marshal’s updated Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) map.
2. Consider potential modification options to the Fire Marshal’s recommended maps based on local topographic and vegetation data, as well as factors such as road width and serviceability.
3. After receiving public comments, provide potential modification options and direction to staff.
BACKGROUND
In response to the devastating wildland-urban fire in Oakland in 1991, California adopted legislation mandating that the California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) map all very high fire danger areas within both State Responsibility Areas (SRA) and Local Responsibility Areas (LRA). (Government Code section 51175; Public Resources Code section 4202)). LRAs are those areas of the state where a local government agency has primary responsibility for fire protection. In 2021, the legislation was modified to require that the California State Fire Marshal also identify moderate and high fire severity zones throughout the state. The law requires local agencies to designate, by ordinance, moderate, high and very high fire hazard severity zones within their jurisdictions based on recommendations of the State Fire Marshal. This designation must occur within 120 days of receiving the recommendations. Local agencies are required to make the information available to the public and solicit feedback within 30 days of receiving the recommendations from the State Fire Marshal.
The Town of Los Altos Hills received the updated maps from the State Fire Marshal on February 24, 2025. The updated maps, including proposed amendments options to the maps, were published on March 26, 2025. The Town has been seeking public input, including posting a banner on the Town’s website to raise awareness and encourage community feedback.
The published maps are located here:
https://www.losaltoshills.ca.gov/640/Fire-Hazard-Severity-Zone-Maps
City Council

Pursuant to Government Code section 51179, a local agency is prohibited from decreasing the level of fire hazard severity zone identified by the State Fire Marshal. A local agency may in its discretion include areas within the jurisdiction of the local agency, not identified as moderate and high fire hazard severity zone. A local agency may also include additional areas as very high fire severity zones by making findings supported by substantial evidence in the record that the defensible space requirements of Government Code section 51182 (described below) are necessary for effective fire protection within the area.
The purpose of this meeting is for the City Council to receive public comments and to consider the proposed maps and to provide direction to staff on the proposed amendments. The first reading of an ordinance adopting the maps based on the direction of the Council is tentatively scheduled for May 15, 2025.
DISCUSSION
What are Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ)?
According to CAL FIRE, the FHSZ model is based on two factors, the probability of an area burning and the expected fire behavior under extreme fuel and weather conditions. For wildland areas, factors considered include fire history, flame length, terrain, local weather, and potential fuel over a fifty-year period. For areas outside of wildland zones, additional factors include terrain, weather, urban vegetation cover, blowing embers, proximity to wildland areas, fire history, and fire hazards in nearby wildlands. CAL FIRE has developed a comprehensive informational resource that addresses frequently asked questions which is available as a link on the Town’s website.

Understanding Fire Hazard vs. Fire Risk
The terms "fire hazard" and "fire risk" are often used interchangeably but have distinct meanings.
Fire hazard refers to the physical conditions—such as topography, vegetation, and climate—that contribute to the potential spread of wildfire. The FHSZ maps are designed to classify land based on these inherent hazards, regardless of human activity.
On the other hand, fire risk considers both the fire hazard and the likelihood of ignition due to human presence and activities. For example, a remote mountainous area with heavy vegetation

and steep slopes may have a high fire hazard, but if there are no structures or human activities, the fire risk may be lower. Conversely, an area with moderate fire hazard but high human presence such as electrical infrastructure, housing, institutional facilities, or other higher impact uses could have a higher overall fire risk. Understanding this distinction is crucial for implementing appropriate mitigation strategies and land-use planning.
CAL FIRE’s designations in Los Altos Hills are based on statewide modeling tools. These tools look at macro conditions which is why the process allows for local governments to refine hazard designations as unique community characteristics can be missed.
What are the Consequences of a Property Being Designated as in a High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone?
All properties in a high or very high FHSZ are required to disclose upon sale that the property is located in a high or very high FHSZ and to document compliance with defensible space requirements. (Civil Code, § 1102.19).
In addition, all occupied structures or dwellings in a very high FHSZ are required to comply with the defensible space requirements of Government Code section 51182. Government Code section 51182 requires:
• 100 feet of defensible space from structures, with more intensive requirements within 5- 30 feet of a structure.
• Ember-resistant zone within 5 feet of a structure (goes into effect upon adoption of regulations by CAL FIRE expected in 2025).
• Removal of tree limbs within 10 feet of chimneys or stovepipes. • Maintenance of roofs free from leaves, needles or vegetative materials. • Maintenance of trees and shrubs to remove dead or dying wood. • Certification of compliance from the building official required before new construction or rebuilding.
All properties located in a very high FHSZ are also required to comply with heightened fire protection Building Code requirements affecting building materials; defensible space requirements; and access infrastructure for firefighting. The fire protection Building Code standards will also be made applicable to high FHSZs in the next triennial code adoption cycle. (Health and Safety Code § 13108.5)
FHSZs will also be taken into account in the Town’s General Plan Safety Element, planning decisions, and building code updates. Certain findings may be required for approval of subdivisions or parcel maps in very high FHSZ, or for applicability of certain state land use and

housing laws. In addition, a property’s location in a FHSZ may impact a project’s evaluation under the California Environmental Quality Act.
How do FHSZs Affect Insurance Rates?
Among the biggest concerns expressed by property owners is the impact of FHSZs on insurance rates. The California Department of Insurance has provided information addressing concerns related to insurance, clarifying that revised FHSZ designations are meant to guide local wildfire mitigation efforts and planning – not insurance decisions. A copy of the Insurance Commissioner’s Questions and Answers regarding Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps is attached to this staff report as Attachment 2.
Under recently adopted insurance regulations, insurance companies must provide discounts for wildfire safety actions such as community mitigation and home-hardening. The Insurance Commissioner’s “Safer from Wildfires” initiative, lays out a menu of retrofit actions (e.g. clearing vegetation, installing fire-resistant vents, upgrading windows) and insurers must incorporate these into their rating plans. While not a panacea, strong mitigation measures can influence underwriting decisions and hopefully reduce premium increases over time as wildfire losses abate.
Options for Modifying the Fire Hazard Severity Zone Base Map Given the unique topography and localized fire risk factors in Los Altos Hills, staff propose the following modifications for consideration. Designating any areas as “very high fire severity zone” if it has not been so designated by CAL FIRE requires findings supported by substantial evidence that the defensible space provisions of Government Code section 51182 (described above) are necessary for effective fire protection within the area.
Option 1: Cal Fire basemap to assess and classify fire hazard severity zone.
If no amendment action is made by the City Council, this will be the adopted fire hazard severity zones in Town. The Town must adopt this map, or make local amendments but may not decrease the zone designation mandated by CAL FIRE. Increasing any area to very high must be supported by substantial evidence as described above.
Option 2A: Focuses on fuels and structural hardening along collectors.
Option 2B: Focuses on fuels, landscape and structural hardening along collectors For option 2, these maps take into account how vegetation along narrow and twisting corridors present hazards as road configuration like these dominate the town landscape.
Option 3A: Focuses on uniform medium hazard levels throughout town Option 3B: Focuses on uniform high hazard levels throughout town
City Council
Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps

P a g e | 5
Option 3C: Focuses on uniform very high hazard levels throughout town Option 3 takes a more general look at the town and its proximity to the Santa Cruz mountains and accounts for past wildfire patterns to apply a uniform standard town wide.
Option 4A: Focuses on inaccessible fuel loads and structural hardening in those areas Option 4B: Focuses on inaccessible fuel loads, landscaping and structural hardening in those areas
For option 4, these maps focus on denser fuel load in remote areas that make any response impractical. The rough terrain, mazes of natural and artificial impediment include fences, walls, and other structure that can easily be over come by a wildfire but present operational barriers in fire defense.
Option 5A: Focuses on open spaces conditions and structural hardening along those areas Option 5B: Focuses on open spaces conditions, landscaping and structural hardening along those areas.
For option 5, These maps recognize the increased open spaces represent when wildfires can spread to acres in minutes. As a result, it focuses on the increased hazards along the open space boarders.
The maps and other relevant information is attached in Attachment 1. Public feedback has also suggested modeling higher hazards for chemical storage facilities in the area or areas on dead end or one-way roads.
How Other Jurisdictions Are Addressing Fire Risk in the LRA Cities and counties across California are implementing diverse strategies to mitigate fire risk while accommodating growth. Some notable approaches include:
• Marin County: Enforcing aggressive vegetation management programs and providing grant funding for property owners to implement fire-hardening measures. These are enforced through both the code enforcement process as well as addressed preemptively through the planning and site development review process. • City of Malibu: Requiring fire-resistant landscaping and imposing restrictions on new developments in high-risk areas. This has been incorporated into general plan updates.
While the city has not yet adopted higher level fire hazard severity zone maps, they are currently up for review and adoption.
City Council
Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps

• Santa Rosa: Updating zoning ordinances to incorporate fire hazard considerations into land-use planning and requiring enhanced fire protection measures for new developments. Due to its rural nature, Santa Rosa and Sonoma County have employed increased focus on traffic circulation and accessibility in line with updating fire risk assessment.
• San Diego County: Utilizing advanced GIS mapping to refine fire hazard assessments and guide development decisions.
These jurisdictions all have slightly varying approaches; however, they all have employed a mix of factors based on their underlying conditions to assess an increased level of risk in select areas of the jurisdiction that balances risk reduction with the need for sustainable development.
Communities locally like Los Gatos, Saratoga and Monte Serino are still coordinating. Limiting the ability to provide more localized analysis. This is due to the short adoption timeframe and jurisdiction rollout from CAL Fire happening concurrently for the bay area.
CONCLUSION
Engagement is ongoing, and staff have reached out to representatives from the insurance industry, building sciences field, real estate associations, the fire district and department, the Town’s Emergency Response and Preparedness Committee, Firewise communities, and other stakeholders. These efforts are in addition to the information and educational materials provided by CAL FIRE.
All stakeholder feedback, including suggested alternatives, will be analyzed, and staff will present recommendations to the City Council for consideration at its May 15 meeting, including the potential adoption of the CAL FIRE base FHSZ map with local amendments.
Questions for City Council:
1. Are the Council interested in pursuing local amendments?
2. Is there a specific Fire Hazard Severity Zone map the Council would like to learn more about?
3. Are there other impacts or related information the Council would like staff to research? Attachments

We already have an insurance problem, so I'd be very careful about any augmentation of the state map that could be used by insurance companies to either raise our rate or cancel our insurance entirely. And at this point I do not know what the significance would be to our safety to augmenting the state map, unless to town is planning to have different building and/or landscaping code requirements for the different zones.

Subject: Feedback for Fire Hazard Severity Zone Map Options
Hi there,
I’m not sure what feedback is being sought here but I’m a little confused by some of the options. In particular, Options 2A/2B and Options 4A/4B. Options 2A/2B appear to elevate the areas along roadways to High and Very High, whereas 4A/4B appear to do the opposite and elevate the areas NOT along the roadways to High and Very High. My question would be: what does the data suggest? Has it been shown that wildfires tend to stay along roadways or not? I would yield to what the County Fire Marshall suggests here, although it seems like the further one gets from the hills the lower the overall risk so I don’t think applying a blanket policy for the entire town seems right. Both of the B options (2B and 4B) just seem wrong to have these pockets of High risk in areas that are designated as NonWildland.
The same applies to all of Option 3. Do we have any data to support moving the lower elevations in town to any level other than Non-Wildland, overriding what Cal Fire has indicated? If we don’t, please don’t push more areas into an elevated zone than necessary.
My feedback would be to simply stick with Cal Fire’s base map and be done with it, unless there’s compelling data to counter that. But if that’s the case then we should get Cal Fire to update their maps.

Subject: Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps - feedback
Fortunately this was presented today at the EPRC committee meeting, however raises some significant concern
- the method for public comment is suspect, there is no method to confirm full public disclosure and gathering recommendations
- the site does not present the maps in a way to have them assessed as to why each of multiple options are being presented with increasing severity - concern that any increase of severity in the map definition will create repercussions to existing homeowner and their home insurance access
- there appears to be no benefit to increasing the severity of the maps, there is not additional funding for mitigation, and there is already a firewise program to increase public awareness with a volunteer program of mitigation
- my feedback and opinion, is to ONLY adopt the minimum State Fire Marshal map per option1 cal fire definition, and do NOT increase any severity definition Thanks....Rob.

Subject: Feedback on various FHSZ map proposals
Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback on the various Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps.
Generally, a map is just a picture. What will matter is how the maps affect public policy, and various building, landscaping, and environmental codes and practices. I believe that the best practice would be to
• Adopt the state map as given, unless we are aware of specific Fire Hazard Severity areas that are ignored by the computer generated state maps. Here, I mean specific hazards such as concentrated natural or man-made fuel areas. I think it is a disservice to the intent of the map to treat it as a guide for varying codes. This will be hard to justify as objective law wherever the map makes an arbitrary decision, based on a satellite photo or ground slope. Instead...
• Reconsider building, landscaping and environmental codes, based on objective hazards or desired outcomes. For example:
o We could name certain streets as important for evacuation, and require specific shaded fuel break implementations along the roadside (instead of 2a or 2b)
o we could make specific applicable hardening requirements on lots that have only one exit route, or are on a narrow private road. (not reflected on any map)
o we could change Environmental Design recommendations and tree ordinances to reflect the new wildfire risks and pre-green sheets landscape (instead of 3a or 3b)
o we could do more with town owned land to create fuel breaks and fire department access (instead of 5a)
o In addition to pathway easements, we could require "knock down" exits where possible to enable secondary exits from dead end streets. This would only require a gate and lack of permanent blockage of the landscape. • Considering the maps that attempt to harden the streets, vs. the soft centers, while it is more difficult to get fire fighting equipment off the main thoroughfares o Poorly parked vehicles, and actual car fires make ignitions more common where traffic is heavier.
o Shaded fuel breaks along main thoroughfares allow the fire department a better opportunity to stop an advancing fire at a main road. o Firefighters are at less risk along the main thoroughfares than on one way streets, while firefighting wildfire
• Enforcement needs to be stepped up. Unless you are waiting for an occupancy permit on a remodel, the town has no teeth. I don't know if the town has the political will to step up enforcement, no matter the color of the map. • A strictly voluntary policy will not make much progress until we educate more forcefully or scare people into action. Home Ignition Zone assessments jumped after the LA firestorms, but let's not wait until it happens here to act.

Subject: Cal Fire risk proposals
To who it may concern,
I was concerned to read in the Weekly #13 that CAL FIRE has proposed options including 3C that could include most of Los Altos Hills as very high fire risk. This could cause non renewals for fire insurance that might be nearly as devastating as a fire. My family has lived in LAH for 100 years and we have never had a fire. Even a high risk category will put us at risk for higher fire insurance as we are currently in the lowest risk category having never had a claim. Higher premiums could potentially limit our ability to continue to live in LAH.
When I was a child, Mr. Miravalle was a postman and could afford a modest home for his family on Moody Road. LAH was a much more economically diverse community. Ideally children should have a chance to live in the community they grew up in. This creates a sense of community that has benefits over many years imparting a sense of history and stability. Any increase cost of fire insurance may limit the wisdom that comes from understanding local history by limiting old timers ability to afford to stay. Only the mega rich and short timers will be able to live in this beautiful and safe environment.
Please adopt option 1 for the CAL FIRE risk map.

Subject: Re: Fire Severity Zone map
His Jonathan and Jay,
Please add this public comment.
I don’t think any of the maps looked accurate. Fire severity risk here is mostly a function of topography. The steep, inaccessible ravines have high fuel loads and their steep slopes create their own winds, pushing fires uphill.
In my area (between Hidden Villa and Byrne Preserve) the rating went from red to yellow (without the intermediate zone) with no difference in topography or fuel loads. This makes no sense.
The main town arteries are being limbed up for shaded fuel breaks so there is less risk there.
Good luck with this process. It doesn’t seem based on science.

Subject: Comments on Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps
I would like to make a comment on a specific area, which appears to have been treated arbitrarily in all the maps:
That is, Kate Drive. There, Quarry Lake provides some protection from fires coming from the hills.
In addition, the homes are well spread out, and at the bottom of the adjacent hills.
The hills rise from Kate drive to homes on Oak Knoll Cir and Prospect Ave and any cinders from a fire blowing across the lake are more likely to set those hills on fire, endangering homes on those two streets.
The arbitrariness is deduced from those homes being zoned “moderate”, while Kate Drive is zoned “high”. It looks like those drawing the map simply used proximity to the hills as the criteria.
They clearly gave no regards to homes at the top of a hill being at much higher risk than homes situated at the bottom of the hill, well spaced out, and with the adjacent lake acting as a buffer.
Thus, I believe that homes on Kate Dr should be zoned “moderate”, while homes at the top of the hills, on Oak Knoll Circle and Prospect Ave should be zoned “high”.
I am hoping that the impact of this change will spur those home owners on Oak Knoll Cir and Prospect Ave, all of whom own the land on the hillside, to improve the fire risk by reducing the flammable growth on those hills.
Regards
Robert Dykes

RE: Balancing Wildfire Safety and Historic Building Protections Cc:
Subject:
Dear City Council,
There was a response to a question related to Balancing Wildfire Safety and Historic Building Protections and the potential eƯects of Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ) and Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) regulations— specifically those outlined in Chapter 7A of the California Building Code (CBC) or Section R337 of the California Residential Code. These fire safety regulations do apply; however, when they impact designated historic structures, the California Historical Building Code (CHBC) provides flexibility to preserve historic character while still addressing life safety.
Key Considerations for Building Construction Standards:
The CHBC allows exceptions or alternative compliance pathways where full adherence to modern fire codes (e.g., CBC Chapter 7A: Materials and Construction Methods for Exterior Wildfire Exposure) would compromise the historic integrity of a structure.
Local building oƯicials have the authority to approve alternative materials, methods, or designs that oƯer an equivalent level of fire and life safety.
Section 8-104 of the CHBC explicitly permits code modifications intended to preserve historic features, provided that the overall safety intent of the code is still met.
Key Considerations for Defensible Space and Site Conditions:
1. Fire mitigation strategies—such as maintaining defensible space, installing ember-resistant vents or retrofits, or providing interior fire sprinklers—may be accepted as functional equivalents to full exterior compliance under Chapter 7A.
2. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) may apply if fire mitigation measures or local code amendments aƯect the historical integrity of a resource listed on or eligible for the California Register of Historical Resources.
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like further clarification on any of these points.

Form an Ad Hoc Committee to discuss options for the expiring law enforcement agreement with the Santa Clara County Sheriff.
BACKGROUND:
On July 1, 2014, the Town of Los Altos Hills entered into an agreement with the Santa Clara County Office of the Sheriff for law enforcement services. The term of the agreement was set for ten (10) years and was scheduled to expire on June 30, 2024 (Attachment 1).
In the beginning months of 2024, the Sheriff’s Office convened a meeting of the three contract cities (Cupertino, Saratoga, and Los Altos Hills) to discuss the expiring law enforcement agreements. At this meeting, County staff alerted the parties that the services provided to the three jurisdictions were causing the Office of the Sheriff to operate at a deficit for the County. To offset this deficit the County requested renewing the law enforcement agreements with higher rates with a revamped methodology to recoup expenses from these services. At that time in early 2024, it was the first time any of the three contract cities were alerted to a proposed cost increase, only a few months before the expiration of the 2014-2024 agreement.
Through negotiations between the contract cities and the County, a compromise was reached to postpone the rate increase for two years through an extension of the existing contract. This twoyear extension was approved by the County Board of Supervisors on May 21, 2024.
On June 20, 2024, the City Council passed Resolution 33-24 (Attachment 2) authorizing the City Manager to execute a two-year extension of the law enforcement agreement. The current extension is set to expire June 30, 2026.
At this time Town staff has yet to receive any cost proposal from the County for a new service agreement.
Staff Report to City Council Page 2
Sheriff Ad Hoc Committee
April 17, 2024
DISCUSSION:
Staff recommends that the City Council form an Ad Hoc Committee tasked with discussing options for the expiring extension of the law enforcement agreement with the County. The County has openly sent notification to the contract cities that rates will increase under a proposed new methodology after the two-year extension should an additional agreement be reached.
Meetings of the proposed Ad Hoc Committee may include discussions of alternative law enforcement service providers (self-service or partnering with another jurisdiction), or modifying the scope of services with the County to address the Town’s needs.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This action does not qualify as a “Project” as defined in California Government Code Section 15378(b) of the Guidelines for California Environmental Quality Act. 2024-25 CITY COUNCIL WORKPLAN:
Public safety services is a core goal of the Town. Establishing dependable law enforcement will also help reduce residential burglaries in Town, which is identified on the City Council Work Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Establishing an Ad Hoc Committee will not have any direct fiscal impacts on the Town’s budget.
However, depending on recommendations from the Ad Hoc Committee, staff may need to budget for specialist consultants in the upcoming fiscal year to explore this topic further.

Calculation of Annual Compensation
To calculate the annual projected budget increase to this contract, the following shall apply:
ANNUAL COST OF LIVING INCREASE IN TOTAL COMPENSATION:
1. Total compensation refers to the amount Santa Clara County Sheriff Department provides for total compensation ( salary and benefits) at top step for a 40 -hour patrol deputy.
2. At the subsequent July 1, the new total compensation amount ( exclusive of PERS) will be divided by the total compensation effective on the prior July 1 ( exclusive of PERS), to derive a percentage change in total compensation.
The aiulual projected budget increase in contract costs shall be computed as follows:
Fiscal Year 2024/ 2025:
Base Year 2024/ 2025 costs = costs as shown in Exhibit A to this Agreement.
Fiscal Years 2025/ 2026:

Staff Report to the City Council
SUBJECT: RECEIVE AND ACCEPT THE FINDINGS OF THE TOWN-WIDE
COMPENSATION STUDY
FROM: Thomas Leung, Finance Director
APPROVED: Peter Pirnejad, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:
Receive and accept the findings of the Town-wide Compensation Study BACKGROUND:
The Town periodically conducts compensation surveys to ensure its compensation practices remain competitive and aligned with regional labor market conditions. These studies support recruitment, employee retention, and long-term budget planning. This effort also directly supports the City Council Work Plan priority on employee retention.
Pursuant to Section 2-3.219 of the Municipal Code, the City Manager is responsible for presenting an annual salary plan to the City Council. Additionally, Sections 3 and 7 of the City Council-approved Employee Handbook assign the City Manager, or designee, the responsibility of preparing and presenting a Classification and Compensation Plan. The last comprehensive study was conducted in 2021. Best practice recommends a compensation study every three to five years.
In the years following the COVID-19 pandemic, the Town—like many agencies—faced elevated staff turnover. In 2023, the Town launched a Stay Interview Program to proactively gather employee feedback, improve engagement, and boost workplace satisfaction.
As of FY 2024–25, the Town is nearly fully staffed for the first time in years—an outcome attributed to enhanced Town benefits, improved morale and a more supportive workplace culture.
In early 2025, the Town conducted a second round of stay interviews. Dr. Frank Benest, an outside consultant, reviewed all interview notes and identified several recurring themes and actionable recommendations. A key takeaway was a desire among employees for more competitive salaries. Dr.
Benest recommended conducting a salary study to ensure the Town’s salaries remain competitive with those of neighboring public agencies. This was supported by anecdotal evidence that some employees were actively considering positions at nearby jurisdictions offering higher pay.
The following table summarizes annual staff turnover rates over the past 14 years:

2025 0 0 27 0%
The recent drop in turnover reflects improved morale and culture—but compensation remains a recurring theme in staff feedback. Addressing salary alignment now will help preserve this progress. In today’s labor market, competitive compensation is no longer a differentiator—it is table stakes.
Maintaining market-aligned salaries is essential to retaining staff. As the Town has seen firsthand, 0 2

losing key employees is often more disruptive and costly than retaining them. Research and experience show that staff will leave for higher pay when compensation is out of sync with the market. At the same time, compensation alone is not sufficient—organizational culture is equally important. To remain an employer of choice, the Town must offer competitive pay and continue cultivating a positive, values-driven workplace.
DISCUSSION:
Comparator Agency Review
The Town’s HR consultant, MRG, LLC, helped the Town develop a list of comparator agencies using a clear, consistent, and objective set of criteria:
• Geographic proximity to Los Altos Hills
• Population size and community profile
• Organizational structure and service delivery model
• Labor market relevance
Previous Comparator Agencies (2021 Study)
The Town’s last salary survey was conducted in 2021 and included the following jurisdictions:
• City of Atherton
• City of Cupertino
• City of Half Moon Bay
• Town of Hillsborough
• City of Los Altos
• City of Monte Sereno
• Town of Moraga
• Town of Portola Valley
• City of Saratoga
• City of Sausalito
• Town of Tiburon
• Town of Woodside
Several agencies from the 2021 comparator list—such as Sausalito, Tiburon, Moraga, Half Moon Bay, and Monte Sereno—were removed due to factors like distance, coastal or tourism-based economies, or limited comparability in size and service model. Of these, geographic proximity is the most significant.
Experience shows that employees are far more likely to accept a higher-paying role nearby than to relocate solely for salary.
The average distance of removed comparator agencies was over 40 miles, while the newly added agencies are within 20 miles of Los Altos Hills, making them much more relevant from a commuter and labor market standpoint.
Based on this analysis, MRG recommended updating the comparator list to focus on agencies within a reasonable commuting distance that share key characteristics with Los Altos Hills. The Town competes for talent primarily with nearby cities and towns—not with agencies outside the regional
Staff Report to City Council Page 4

labor market or commuting shed (i.e., the geographic area from which most employees can reasonably commute).
Updated Comparator Agencies (2025 Study):
• Town of Atherton
• City of Campbell
• City of Cupertino
• Town of Hillsborough
• City of Los Altos
• Town of Los Gatos
• Town of Portola Valley
• City of Saratoga
• Town of Woodside
These agencies operate in similar labor markets, employ lean staffing models and contracted services, and primarily serve residential communities—closely aligning with Los Altos Hills.
Salary Benchmarking Study
The Town worked with Holly, an AI-powered public sector HR platform specializing in job classification analysis and compensation benchmarking, to conduct a comprehensive study of all Town positions. Holly is currently used by jurisdictions such as the City of Long Beach and San Bernardino County and applies advanced analytics to support equitable and competitive public-sector compensation practices.
The compensation analysis followed a structured and transparent methodology. Each Town position was benchmarked using Holly’s AI-powered system, which evaluated similarity based on core duties, job function, working environment, and organizational alignment. Only matches with at least 70% similarity were included, with a mean match score of 84% across all roles. Holly’s team independently reviewed and confirmed each match to ensure accurate, relevant comparisons across jurisdictions.
Town staff then reviewed and validated all results to ensure the position matches were appropriate, the data was complete, and the findings accurately reflected the Town’s organizational structure and job duties. Only roles with functional and organizational alignment were included, and Holly’s matches were manually confirmed by both their staff and Town staff.
Each position was evaluated against the median base salary of comparable roles in peer agencies.
While benefits are an important part of total compensation, base salary is the most visible, consistently benchmarked, and influential factor in recruitment decisions. Notably, stay interviews identified salary as a retention concern. This review addresses the most immediate and actionable risk, with a separate benefits analysis planned for a future phase in FY 2025-26 to ensure the Town remains competitive in total compensation.
Study Findings
The compensation study reviewed all Town classifications against updated market data from the selected comparator agencies. Key findings include:
Staff Report to City Council Page 5
Compensation Study
April 17, 2025
● While most positions remain competitive, nearly two thirds (60%) fall 5% or more below market, of which seven are more than 10% below the market median and two are significantly below market (>15%). The average market gap is 6%.
● The largest gaps appear in key roles, with Building Official (-16%), City Clerk (-15%), Building Inspector (-14%), Senior Building Inspector (-11%), Maintenance Worker I (-11%), Finance Manager (-10%), and Deputy City Manager (-10%) showing double-digit disparities with the market.
● Although the City Clerk position showed a substantial market gap, the Town will eliminate the Senior City Clerk classification, as this title is not commonly used by comparable agencies and no longer aligns with the Town’s organizational structure. ● The Building Official, Building Inspector, Senior Building Inspector, and Finance Manager roles remain in the salary schedule to preserve flexibility for future staffing needs, but are not currently budgeted or filled.
● These gaps affect departments essential to core service delivery across all levels of seniority and create vulnerability to recruitment and retention challenges as neighboring jurisdictions offer more competitive compensation.
Study findings will inform updates to the Town’s salary ranges. These are not automatic adjustments, COLAs, or across-the-board increases. Individual salary changes will be merit-based and administered through the annual performance review process.
The recommended adjustments will be incorporated into the FY 2025–26 Proposed Salary Schedule and presented alongside the budget in June. All salary ranges found to be 3% or more below market will be adjusted to the market median in FY 2025–26. Ranges with a gap of less than 3% will receive a standard CPI adjustment of 3%. If approved, the new salary ranges will take effect on July 1, 2025.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This action does not constitute a “project” under Section 15378(b) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.
2024-25 CITY COUNCIL WORK PLAN:
Employee recruitment and retention is a stated priority in the 2024–25 City Council Work Plan. While the Compensation Study itself is not listed as a standalone item, it directly supports this goal by ensuring the Town remains competitive in the regional labor market.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no immediate fiscal impact from receiving and accepting the compensation study. However, any future salary adjustments—whether due to market alignment or merit—may carry budgetary implications. The Proposed Salary Schedule for FY 2025–26 will be adopted as part of the annual budget process. All salary ranges found to be 3% or more below market will be adjusted to the market median in FY 2025–26. Ranges with a gap of less than 3% will receive a standard CPI adjustment of 3%. No budget adjustments are proposed at this time, as individual salary changes will be merit-based and administered through the annual performance review process.

1. Holly Compensation Study
1 TO: Los Altos Hills City Council
FROM: Brendan Hellweg & Cherie Chung, Founders, Holly
DATE: April 17, 2025
SUBJECT: Los Altos Hills Salary Study and Recommendations Report Summary
Holly completed a compensation study for the Town of Los Altos Hills, benchmarking salaries for all positions against selected comparator agencies. The study identifies current market competitiveness, highlights critical gaps, and provides targeted recommendations for adjustments to ensure the Town remains an attractive employer in a highly competitive regional labor market.
Holly's compensation analysis for 37 Los Altos Hills positions against 178 benchmarks reveals the Town's salaries are approximately 6% below benchmark median townwide. Further analysis will cover upcoming salary changes among comparators and total compensation. ● While most positions remain competitive, over half (54%) fall 5% or more below market, of which seven are more than 10% below the market median and two are significantly below market (>15%). The average market gap is 6%.
● The largest gaps appear in key roles, with Building Official (-16%), City Clerk (-15%), Building Inspector (-14%), Senior Building Inspector (-11%), and Maintenance Worker I (-11%), Finance Manager (-10%), and Deputy City Manager (-10%) showing doubledigit disparities with the market. ● These gaps affect departments essential to core service delivery across all levels of seniority and create vulnerability to recruitment and retention challenges as neighboring jurisdictions offer more competitive compensation.
Key Recommendations
1. Prioritized Adjustments: Implement a phased correction strategy beginning with the most below-market positions (>10% below median), followed by moderately undermarket positions, to address immediate retention risks.
2. Technical Position Focus: Allocate resources first to specialized roles in Building, Engineering, and Administrative leadership where skill gaps are hardest to fill and retention is most critical.
3. Structural Reform: Revise the salary structure to better align with market medians and establish biennial compensation reviews to maintain competitiveness.
Implementing these recommendations would strategically address Los Altos Hills' compensation gaps while balancing fiscal responsibility. These targeted adjustments will strengthen the Town's position in a competitive labor market, improve employee retention, and ensure continued highquality service delivery to residents.
2 About Holly
Holly is an AI-powered platform dedicated to modernizing government hiring and compensation practices. By leveraging data-driven analysis and technology, we support jurisdictions in achieving equitable, competitive, and efficient compensation structures. We are currently active in jurisdictions representing three million California residents.
The Town of Los Altos Hills contracted with Holly on April 1, 2025, and data was collected between April 4 through April 7, using salary data for the 2024-2025 Fiscal Year for all jurisdictions. Our compensation analysis followed a structured, transparent methodology:
● Comparator Selection: Comparator jurisdictions were selected based on geographic proximity, community demographics, organizational size, and service delivery models. ● Data Collection: Holly leveraged current-year comparator jurisdiction public disclosures to gather and process position descriptions and salary data. ● Benchmarking Analysis: Holly utilized AI-powered analytics to perform precise, dutiesbased comparisons, ensuring robust alignment of roles across jurisdictions. ● Human Confirmation: Holly team conducted independent review of position matches to ensure effective benchmarking against roles and weigh in on ambiguous cases. ● Market Positioning: Each Town position was evaluated against the midpoint salaries of equivalent roles in comparator agencies, highlighting competitive alignment and gaps. ● Recommendations: Adjustments were recommended based on identified market gaps, recruitment priorities, and retention risks.
1. Comparator Selection
Comparator jurisdictions were selected based on:
● Geographic proximity and relevance to Los Altos Hills. ● Similar population sizes, community profiles, and staffing structures. ● Comparable labor markets and organizational service delivery models.
Comparator Agencies Assessed:
Entity Type Population Operating Budget Similarity Mean Diff Los Altos Hills Town 7,989 $19M 100% 0%
Portola Valley Town 4,397 $10M 95% 1%
Woodside Town 5,256 $12M 92% 8%
Los Altos City 31,625 $55M 91% -7%
Atherton Town 6,769 $22M 87% -5%
Hillsborough Town 11,258 $33M 84% -2%
Saratoga City 30,771 $31M 82% -11%
Los Gatos Town 33,529 $53M 81% -4%
3 Cupertino City 55,401 $90M 78% -8%
Campbell City 42,000 $56M 76% -11%
These agencies reflect competitive labor pools that align closely with Los Altos Hills' organizational profile and employment market. Factors considered include size, operating budget, economic & labor market status, density, and agency service coverage (Police, utilities, etc.). Notably, the highest similarity score jurisdictions have smaller Mean Differences (calculated as the averages of all midpoint-to-midpoint median benchmarks for that jurisdiction against Los Altos Hills positions).
2. Data Collection, Benchmarking, & Validation
Holly assessed similarity for all Los Altos Hills against the most similar jobs within each comparator jurisdiction. We used a minimum similarity of 70% for inclusion based on the core duties, working structure, and position in the organizational structure of the roles.
1. Collection: Holly utilized scraping, optical character recognition, and manual confirmation to collect current-year salary information from each jurisdiction as well as class specifications or job descriptions to assist in position matching.
2. Position Tagging: The analysis uses five broad categories of matching criteria: Job Function Alignment (20%), Work Characteristics (45%), Environmental Factors (15%), Role Alignment (15%), and Semantic Similarity (5%). Within each category, the system evaluates 15-20 criteria, prioritizing job function match.
3. Position Matches: Our matches had a mean similarity of 84%, a high of 100% (for functionally identical roles such as Town Manager to Town Manager), and a low of 72%.
4. Match Validation: Following programmatic matching, we assessed each position to ensure accurate comparisons.
3. Competitive Positioning and Recommendations
Holly then processed the competitive relationships between Los Altos Hills and position benchmarks.
A detailed table, attached separately, outlines each Town position's current compensation relative to market median rates from selected comparator jurisdictions. Among these jurisdictions, Los Altos Hills seeks to track the market median, which we assess at the midpoint or middle grade for each position (and the single salary for roles without grades). For the purpose of this analysis, we solely consider salary and do not include other forms of compensation, which will be the subject of subsequent reports.
Positions are categorized as:
● At Market (within 5% of comparator median)
● Below Market (5%-15% below comparator median)
● Significantly Below Market (>15% below comparator median)
4 Recommendations:
1. Prioritized Adjustment Approach
Implement a phased strategy addressing critical gaps first:
● Phase 1 (Immediate): Address positions >15% below market ● Phase 2 (Within 6 months): Adjust positions 10-15% below market ● Phase 3 (Within 12 months): Address positions 5-10% below market
2. Further Analysis
Assess additional factors in recruitment and retention:
● Compensation: Review total compensation factors as well as upcoming changes to competitors to remain competitive in the market.
● Job Design: Assess position features such as requirements, duties, and career pathways to make the Town a more appealing employer. Assessments of skills-based hiring and barriers to employment can widen the set of potential candidates. ● Satisfaction: As it becomes relevant, survey staff on the nature of their duties and satisfaction with roles.
3. Structural Adjustments
● Salary Structure Revision: Align salary structures with median market rates, particularly for technical positions.
● Advancement Pathways: Create clearer progression for entry-level positions to improve retention.
Analysis of Each Position Against Benchmarks

TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS April 17, 2025
Staff Report to the City Council
SUBJECT: Receive a FY 2025-26 Budget Informational Update FROM: Thomas Leung, Finance Director
APPROVED: Peter Pirnejad, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:
Receive a FY 2025-26 Budget Informational Update
BACKGROUND:
In June 2024, the Town adopted a biennial budget that included the FY 2024–25 Adopted Budget and a FY 2025–26 Budget Plan. As we enter the second year of the cycle, staff will update the FY 2025–26 budget with a mid-cycle review focused on:
• Capital Improvement Program (CIP):
• Reprioritizing projects
• Updating cost estimates and schedules
• Adjusting projects to reflect current needs and priorities • Operating Budget Adjustments:
• Personnel changes (e.g., new positions, promotions)
• Revised revenue projections
• Implementation of the City Council Work Plan
• Implementation of the new Cost Allocation Plan and Fee Schedule • Contract or temporary staffing needs
• Departmental requests to improve service delivery and efficiency These updates will refine the budget, keeping it aligned with operational needs and community priorities.
DISCUSSION:
The FY 2025–26 Proposed Budget figures referenced below are preliminary and will be refined leading up to the Council meetings in May and June.
Budget Prioritization Framework
To guide fiscal planning and resource allocation, the Town has categorized all contract services, professional services, and operations expenses—across all funds, including the General Fund— into three tiers:
• Tier 1 – Mandatory Services: Legally required or essential to public health, safety, and operations ITEM 4D
PP
(e.g., law enforcement, sewer operations and maintenance, elections, street maintenance, insurance).
• Tier 2 – High-Priority Services: Not legally mandated but strongly supported by the community (e.g., parks and recreation, private security services, Automatic License Plate Readers). • Tier 3 – Discretionary Services: Enhance quality of life but are deferrable or nonessential (e.g., community events, arts programming, and Town-wide publications).
This framework helps the Town prioritize resources in a lean environment. The majority of expenses fall into Tier 1, reflecting the Town’s continued emphasis on essential services. However, this also limits flexibility to reduce expenditures without impacting service delivery. Meaningful cost savings may require changes in service levels, delivery methods, or contract terms.
As illustrated in the Tier 1–3 expenditure breakdown for All Funds and the General Fund, Tiers 2 and 3 represent a relatively small share of spending and offer limited opportunities for discretionary reductions.

(excluding Transfers, Allocations, and Personnel)
Expenditure Overview
General Fund expenditures for FY 2025–26 reflect the Town’s continued commitment to delivering high-quality municipal services within a lean organizational structure. Significant expenditure categories are:
• Personnel: Represents salaries and benefits for Town employees. Although staffing levels remain lean, personnel costs represent a significant share of the budget and are expected to increase modestly due to staffing adjustments, planned promotions, staff workload, and council goals.
• Professional and Contractual Services: The Town relies heavily on contracted services, which offers access to specialized expertise, enhances operational flexibility, and helps manage long-term personnel costs. Key contracted functions include legal services, law enforcement, planning, building, engineering, and IT support. This model not only promotes efficiency but also explains the high number of contracts. Beyond core operations, the Town must also contract for technical and specialized services not available in-house—such as Housing Element updates, land surveys, recreation programming, and geotechnical studies—that are essential to delivering mandated and community-facing services.
Operations: Covers core expenses that support the Town’s day-to-day administrative functions and staff development. This includes office supplies, utilities, software, insurance premiums, bank fees, and costs associated with training and professional development.

General Fund Expenses ($)
(excluding Transfers, Allocations, and Personnel)
Together, personnel, contractual, and professional services account for approximately 87% of General Fund expenditures (excluding transfers and allocations), highlighting the Town’s ongoing reliance on a lean staffing model supplemented by specialized contracted expertise.
Sustaining service levels will require ongoing evaluation of service delivery models, potential shared services, and technology efficiencies.
Property Tax Distribution in Los Altos Hills
Under Proposition 13, California property owners pay a base property tax equal to 1% of assessed value.
In Los Altos Hills, the 1% property tax is primarily allocated to public education and county services, with only a small share returning to the Town’s General Fund.
Depending on their location, Los Altos Hills residents see just 5.69 to 6.41 cents of every property tax dollar returned to the Town. This limited share underscores the Town’s reliance on alternative revenue sources to fund essential municipal services.

In the Mountain View–Los Altos tax area, Los Altos Elementary and Mountain View–Los Altos High School District together receive 34.77%, with Santa Clara County, ERAF, and the Los Altos Hills County Fire District close behind. The Town’s share is similarly small at 6.41%.
Across both areas, the majority of each property tax dollar supports schools and county-level services, while the Town retains only a modest portion.
Revenue Overview
Despite the Town’s modest share of property tax, it remains the Town’s most stable and significant revenue source, accounting for approximately 60% of General Fund revenues (excluding allocations).
Other key sources include licenses and permits, charges for services, and use of money and property.
Franchise fees, other taxes, and intergovernmental revenues contribute smaller shares to the General Fund revenue composition.
• Property Tax: A tax on real property based on assessed value. • Licenses & Permits: Fees from building and planning activities.

• Charges for Services: Fees tied to specific services such as recreation, facility rentals, and inspections.
• Use of Money and Property: Interest income and rental revenue. • Franchise Fees: Paid by utility providers (e.g., cable, solid waste, gas and electric) for access to public rights-of-way.
• Taxes Other Than Property: Taxes like the real property transfer tax, business license tax, and sales tax.
• Intergovernmental: Funds received from other government agencies—primarily federal, state, or county sources—usually in the form of grants or reimbursements.
Staff is updating the Cost Allocation Plan and Fee Schedule to enhance cost recovery and better align revenues with service delivery. While the FY 2025–26 Proposed Budget is projected to remain balanced, discretionary revenues will continue to be constrained, requiring disciplined spending and careful prioritization. The Town’s current fiscal stability has been supported by conservative forecasting, proactive cost management, and temporary savings from staff vacancies. However, as staffing levels normalize and expenditure pressures increase—particularly in areas like public safety, Housing Element compliance, and service enhancements—the Town may need to explore additional or diversified revenue sources to maintain structural balance over the long term without relying on one-time reserves.

Historical Budget Performance
The Town has historically maintained a surplus, with General Fund revenues exceeding expenditures.
In recent years, however, the surplus has narrowed due to strategic investments in high-priority areas:
• Public Safety Enhancements: In response to an uptick in residential burglaries, the Town expanded public safety measures, including the deployment of private security patrols and automated license plate reader (ALPR) systems.
• Housing Element Compliance: The State-mandated update to the Housing Element has introduced substantial compliance costs, including legal services, consultant fees, and significant staff time.
In last year’s budget message, staff identified the need to evaluate opportunities to either reduce baseline expenditures or increase revenues in future fiscal years. The FY 2025–26 budget introduces additional ongoing pressures—particularly in public safety, compliance, and Council initiatives.
The Town is now nearing full staffing levels, which enhances operational continuity and reduces reliance on consultants. However, it also eliminates vacancy-driven salary savings that have historically helped balance the budget. Maintaining this stability will require continued investment in competitive salaries and benefits to attract and retain talent.
As the Town prepares its FY 2025–26 budget, maintaining structural balance will remain a top priority. Given current trends, the use of fund balance may be required to close the gap—though staff will make every effort to present a balanced plan. While the Town continues to benefit from healthy reserves, these funds should be used for one-time capital needs and replenished over time—not relied upon to sustain ongoing operational costs.
Looking ahead, ensuring a structurally balanced budget while maintaining a stable staffing model must remain a top priority. The Town must evaluate whether its current service model is sustainable and consider reducing the scope of special projects or explore new revenue sources to address the gap.
These emerging fiscal pressures highlight the need for a disciplined, tiered approach to budget prioritization—one that balances long-term fiscal resilience with the Town’s commitment to highquality public services.
Next Steps
Key upcoming budget milestones in the FY 2025-26 budget process include:
• May 5, 2025 – 4:00 PM: Finance and Investment Committee (FIC) meeting to review the Proposed Budget
• May 22, 2025 – 4:00 PM: Joint City Council and FIC meeting to review the Proposed Budget • June 26, 2025 – 6:00 PM: City Council adoption of the budget.

3. PRESENTATIONS FROM THE FLOOR
Persons wishing to address the Council on any subject not on the agenda may do so now. Please complete a Speaker Card located on the back table of the Council Chambers and submit it to the City Clerk. Comments are limited to two (2) minutes per speaker. California law prohibits the Council from acting on items that do not appear on the agenda. Under a Resolution previously adopted by the Council, such items can be referred to staff for appropriate action, which may include placement on the next available agenda.
1. Edward Cristal, a resident of Los Altos Hills, urged the City Council to review and modify Chapter 8 of the Town Code on view and sunlight obstruction, citing unintended impacts on long-established landscaping due to annexation.
He explained that the 2003 ordinance was designed for new developments and did not account for mature landscaping. Reconfiguring his 39-year-old landscaping would be costly, impact privacy, lower property values, and pose environmental and personal hardships. He asked the Council to address these concerns for all annexed areas.
2. Gerda Cristal, a resident of Los Altos Hills, urged the City Council to address the unfair impact of retroactive regulations on annexed properties, particularly regarding view and tree rights. She expressed frustration that long-standing residents are penalized under rules they were unaware of, despite legally planted trees. She emphasized the environmental and privacy benefits of mature trees, especially for her and her husband, who have lived in their home for 54 years and now face a demand to cut down their redwoods. She asked the Council to place this issue on the agenda to ensure fairness for annexed residents.

Public Works Director WooJae Kim presented a resolution for City Council approval concerning the Matadero Creek Restoration and Bank Stabilization Project. The resolution included three key actions: approving the updated plans and specifications for the project, authorizing staff to advertise the project for formal bid, and transferring $200,000 from the General Fund Capital Projects Reserve to supplement the remaining Drainage In-Lieu funds.
WooJae explained that this project dates back to damage caused by severe storms in 2009–2010, which eroded the embankment along Page Mill Road. Although the affected area is in Caltrans' right-of-way, the Town is responsible for maintenance under a 1970 agreement. An emergency wall was installed in 2012, but the remaining creek restoration was delayed due to design challenges and funding constraints.
In 2024, the Town received bids for the original design, but all were significantly over budget—largely due to a costly new retaining wall intended to widen the road for bike lanes. Council rejected all bids and directed staff to revise the design. Since then, staff have “value engineered” a more cost-effective approach that eliminates the need for the new retaining wall, instead restoring the creek using grading and riprap while relying on the existing 2012 wall for structural support. This change reduces construction costs from over $760,000 to approximately $484,000.
Director Kim also provided an update on regulatory permits, noting that Caltrans and the Water Board have approved the revised design, while the Town is awaiting final sign-off from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Required

mitigation work at Byrne Preserve has already been completed and is under a twoyear maintenance period.
Director Kim explained that if the Council approves the resolution, staff will advertise the project for bids in April, with construction expected to begin in June or July and finish by November 2025. The $200,000 transfer from the Capital Projects Reserve is needed to maintain a healthy balance in the Storm Drain Fund, which would otherwise be nearly depleted.
Public Comment:
1. Allan Epstein, a resident of Los Altos Hills, opposed the transfer of funds, stating there is no immediate need for it. He expressed concern that the funds would be taken from reserves and commitments rather than the general fund, which he believes is bad practice. He emphasized that the Town should first assess whether sufficient reserves exist for other projects before making a decision.
Council Member Tyson made a motion to approve the Resolution Approving the Plans and Specifications for the Matadero Creek Restoration and Bank Stabilization Project; Authorizing Staff to Advertise the Projects for Formal Bid; and transferring $200,000 from the General Fund Capital Projects Reserve Fund to Supplement the Drainage In-Lieu Funding Source as presented by staff. Council Member Swan seconded the motion. Approved, Vote 5-0

6. ONGOING BUSINESS
A. City Council recommendation on Housing Element Amendments, inclusive of modifications to the General Plan, Land Use Element, Proposed Zoning, and Incentives.
Community Development Director Jay Bradford presented recommended approaches for amending the 6th Cycle Housing Element and Land Use Element to incorporate HCD feedback and align with the Town’s housing goals. He advised the City Council to prioritize these amendments to address community concerns about development density and mitigate exposure to SB330 applications. Staff recommended reducing the total land area and maximum allowable density in the Housing Element, Land Use Element, Zoning Ordinance (ZO), and Objective Design Standards (ODS) to minimize unintended development pressures. These amendments should be prioritized and implemented as soon as the Council is ready to take action.
ITEM 6A
6 City Council Regular Meeting Agenda
March 20, 2025
Public comments:
1. RK Anand, a Los Altos Hills resident, thanked the Ad Hoc committee for their work and noted the Town needed to update its RHNA numbers to reflect historical trends and buffers. He noted that the proposed changes to Lots 4,5, & 6 were an issue that needed to be resolved by the Town. He also requested the Council think about the potential visual impact of building Lots 1 & 2 with tall buildings.
2. Martha Bowden, a Los Altos Hills resident, said she was told all 7 Twin Oaks lots had to be rezoned, and that was not true 2 years ago. She asked that only Lots 1 & 2 be considered for rezoning and stated that the only proposal that made sense to her was John O’Connell’s approach.
3. Michael Grady, a Los Altos Hills resident, asked if the standard single-family policies applied to the Twin Oaks sites and questioned the proposed agreement.
4. Ian Earnest, a Los Altos Hills resident, commented that he hoped the Town would complete a Housing Element Amendment with solutions that made sense to the area.
5. John O’Connell, a Los Altos Hills resident, commented that if the Town elected to use consultants’ technical amendment, then the Council and residents would return to this current situation.
6. Sue Welch, a Los Altos Hills resident, asked if the owners of the Twin Oaks would submit another SB330 application if there was no Development Agreement, and Vice Chair Bhateja responded. She felt that this felt like a threat, and the Town should identify other sites immediately.
7. Allan Epstein, a Los Altos Hills resident, thanked the Ad Hoc committee for their work and noted recommended the Council should choose John O’Connell’s proposal, allowing for compromises.
8. Rajiv Patel, speaking as a Los Altos Hills resident attending via Zoom, recommended the Town adopt John O’Connell’s approach. He also suggested the Council consider a joint meeting with the Planning Commission to share accurate information regarding the Housing Element.
9. Anne Paulson, a Los Altos resident attending via Zoom, commented that zoning without identifying specific density units per acre (du/ac) in the hopes of eliminating the ability for developers to use the state’s density bonus, stated that was not the case by citing a specific example in her city. She noted that every developer used the state density bonus, even though Los Altos defined density using setbacks and height restrictions in certain locations.
10. Nina Anand, a Los Altos Hills resident attending via Zoom, stated her wish that the Town look into alternate sites and recommended adopting John O’Connell’s plan for the Housing Element amendment.
11. Hari Sankar, a Los Altos Hills resident attending via Zoom, thanked the Ad Hoc committee and recommended the council adopt John O’Connell’s proposal.
12. Carol Gottlieb, a Los Altos Hills resident attending via Zoom, thanked the Ad Hoc committee and requested that the Council pursue the Amendment and the Development Agreement simultaneously.
13. Paul Marcos, a Los Altos Hills resident attending via Zoom, thanked the Ad Hoc committee and John O’Connell’s efforts. He commented that he felt the Development Agreement was too generous, asked about the next Housing Element cycle, and recommended adopting John’s plan.
14. Bridget Morgan, a Los Altos Hills resident, commented that she was impressed by the Town’s Planning Commission and encouraged the City Council to not make any decisions without discussions with the Planning Commission.

No action taken as this item has been continued to a date uncertain.
8. NEW BUSINESS
A. Resolution Granting the Extension Request for Building Permits at 26700 Palo Hills Drive.
Community Development Director Jay Bradford presented a request from the property owner at 26700 Palo Hills Drive for an extension of Building Permit #8999, originally issued on October 22, 1997, for the construction of a new residence. This request is unusual in that the permit expired over two decades ago, with construction ceasing around the year 2000. Upon reviewing the permit file, staff found that the permit had been officially expired by prior staff on January 12, 2001, and outstanding corrections had never been resolved. Since that time, the Town has adopted Construction Time Limits regulations under Municipal Code Section 8-10, which limit remodel projects in the $250,001–$500,000 range to a 24- month completion timeframe. Based on the project’s estimated value of $456,415, the permit would have expired in 1999 under current standards. However, since this project predates the adoption of the time limits ordinance, the standard extension provisions do not apply.
Director Bradford explained that the applicant has since submitted a request for a one-year extension under a new permit (BLD25-0020) to complete the work and allow for final inspections. This approach was initially supported, but later found to be in conflict with the current Construction Time Limits regulations, which prohibit using a new permit to circumvent time limits. The complexity of this case reflects broader challenges, as staff have recently reviewed two other similar extension requests—one heard in November 2024 to resolve a processing error, and one still pending. All involved projects that expired prior to the adoption of the current time limits. Given the ambiguity in how to treat these legacy projects, staff believe a long-term solution is needed.
Director Bradford recommended that the Council approve the one-year extension under BLD25-0020 to allow for project closeout and temporarily suspend the relevant time limit provisions for inactive, pre-regulation projects. He also suggested directing staff to return later in the year with proposed ordinance amendments as part of the Town’s 2025 building code updates, in order to formalize a consistent approach moving forward.

On the technology front, we’re continuing to work on the implementation of Tyler AP Automation to improve efficiency in accounts payable. We’ve been testing it and expect to have it fully up and running by the end of the quarter.
E. Public Works Director WooJae Kim reported the following:
Heritage House Upgrade:
Staff continue to push forward on the Heritage House Upgrade project to meet the CDBG deadline to submit all reimbursement invoices by the end of March. County staff recently informed us that the $260,730 reimbursement invoice submitted by the Town in February has been approved for processing. Staff is also on schedule to submit the second and final invoice for the remainder of the $400,000 CDBG grant by the end of March. With other construction elements still in progress, staff is anticipating project completion by late summer or early fall. At the request of neighboring residents, the staff maintenance team will be constructing a temporary pathway to accommodate the current pathway closure through the project site.
El Monte Fire Station Utility Undergrounding (Rule 20A):
For our Utility Underground Rule 20A project, PG&E is currently undergrounding its overhead electrical facilities. PG&E is anticipating early April for the completion of their work. Comcast and AT&T will quickly follow PG&E to underground their overhead facilities. We are anticipating undergrounding completion by late summer or the fall of this year.
Pathway Development Impact Fee Update
Back in 2023, the Council directed staff to update the Pathway Fee to better build up the Pathway Fund to plan construction of the remaining 30 miles of pathways per the Master Paths Plan. In 2024, staff worked with a consultant for a pathway fee nexus study. On March 12, the Planning Commission hosted a public hearing for the specific General Plan and Zoning Ordinance amendments needed for the Pathway Development Impact Fee Update. Through the Nexus study, staff proposed changing the current flat pathway fees to fees based on the square footage of the development. In general, the Planning Commission opposed the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance changes, but recommended other alternatives for Council consideration, such as going back to the in-lieu fee option, so that developers have the choice to build pathways. Staff and the nexus study consultant with the City Attorney are evaluating the input from the Planning Commission, and staff will present the impact fee item to the Council for consideration at the April 17th Council meeting.
F. City Manager Peter Pirnejad reported the following:
o Sheriff’s Office Contract set to expire June 30, 2026 o Staff recommends that the Council agendize a discussion at the April City Council Meeting to possibly set up an Ad Hoc Committee

TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS
MEMORANDUM
ITEM 6C
TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS April 17, 2025
Staff Report to the City Council
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE LOS ALTOS HILLS THREE-YEAR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY STRATEGIC PLAN FY26-28
FROM: Cody Einfalt, Deputy City Manager CE
APPROVED: Peter Pirnejad, City Manager PP
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council should:
Adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) accepting the Los Altos Hills Three-Year Information Technology Strategic Plan for FY26-28.
BACKGROUND:
The Town of Los Altos Hills has consistently prioritized the advancement of its technological infrastructure to enhance operational efficiency, improve service delivery, and meet the evolving needs of Town operations. The proposed 3-Year IT Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2026-28 represents the continuation of this commitment, building upon the successes and lessons learned from the previous strategic plan (FY 23-25). The previous plan can be found in Attachment 2.
The prior 3-Year IT Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2023-2025 laid the foundation for significant technological improvements across multiple departments. Approximately 70% of the projects outlined in that plan have been successfully completed, demonstrating the Town’s ability to update its technology within the constraints of available resources. Key accomplishments include the deployment of essential system upgrades, the implementation of new software solutions, and the enhancement of cybersecurity measures. Projects that remain ongoing, such as the integration of GIS systems and the digitization of physical records, have been carried forward into the new strategic plan to ensure continuity and completion.
The proposed IT Strategic Plan for FY 2026-28 can be found in Attachment 3.
On March 5, 2025, staff presented the proposed plan to the Technology Committee to receive their feedback (Attachment 4). The Committee asked questions about specific projects and generally agreed with the project list and the proposed direction for the next three years. The committee meeting concluded that the Town should leverage A.I. for improved data management and public service efficiency – an item that is included in the proposed FY 2026-28 plan.
DISCUSSION:
Staff engaged the services of Dr. Jonathan Reichental to compose the FY 2026-28 Strategic Plan.
He is the same consultant that composed the first strategic plan for the Town. Over the past two months Dr. Reichental repeated a similar process to compose the updated plan. He met with key members of staff from each department to understand their goals for the upcoming year, had
