TOWN OF LOS GATOS
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 03/15/2022
ITEM NO: 5
DATE: February 25, 2022
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Reaffirming Resolution 2021-044 Regarding Brown Act Compliance and Teleconferencing and Making Findings Pursuant to Government Code Section 54953, as Amended by Assembly Bill 361, During the COVID -19 Pandemic
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution reaffirming Resolution 2021-044 and making findings pursuant to Government Code Section 54953, as amended by Assembly Bill 361, and authorizing the continued use of virtual meetings due to health and safety concerns for the public.
BACKGROUND:
On March 17, 2020, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20, which allowed for relaxed provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act (Brown Act) that allowed legislative bodies to conduct meetings through teleconferencing without having to meet the strict compliance of the Brown Act. All provisions of Executive Order N-29-20 concerning the conduct of public meetings expired on September 30, 2021.
DISCUSSION:
AB 361 was signed into law by the Governor on September 16, 2021, and went into effect immediately upon signing. It amends the Brown Act to allow local legislative bodies to continue using teleconferencing and virtual meeting technology after the September 30, 2021, expiration of the current Brown Act exemptions as long as there is a "proclaimed state of emergency" by the Governor. This allowance also depends on State or local officials imposing or recommending measures that promote social distancing or a legislative body finding that meeting in person would present an imminent safety risk to attendees.
PAGE 2 OF 2
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Regarding Brown Act Compliance and Teleconferencing DATE: February 25, 2022

COUNCIL POLICY COMMITTEE REPORT
MEETING DATE: 02/22/2022
ITEM NO: 3
DATE: February 14, 2022
TO: Council Policy Committee
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Discuss and Recommend to the Town Council Modifications to the Commission Appointment Policy 2-11 in Relation to the Adult Commissioner Appointments
RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss and recommend to the Town Council modifications to the Commission Appointment Policy 2-11 in relation to the adult Commissioner appointments.
BACKGROUND:
At the January Policy Committee meeting, the Committee requested the Commission Appointment Policy be brought for discussion regarding the annual interview and appointment date for Adult Commissioners.
Currently, the Policy states the annual adult Commissioner interview date shall be set for no later than the second Town Council meeting in December (page 3).
DISCUSSION:
The Committee has discussed Commissioner appointments on many occasions in the past several years. The last few years, the interviews and appointments have been held at the first meeting in November to reduce the number of applicants who are not able to attend because they are traveling for the holidays.
When interviews and appointments were held in December, staff noticed a number of applicants were traveling for the holidays and not available to interview, thereby reducing the number of applicants eligible to be considered for appointment. The Policy requires that all applicants must interview to be considered for appointment.

SUBJECT: Commission Appointment Policy 2-11 in Relation to the Adult Commissioner Appointments
DATE: February 14, 2022
DISCUSSION (continued):
Incumbents do have the ability to submit a letter, no later than the Friday before the interviews, stating why they are unable to attend and why they should be considered for reappointment.
When the Council Policy Committee met in January to discuss its workplan, a Committee member suggested modifying the Policy to ensure that the newly elected Council would make the appointments. Attachment 2 provides draft language (redline) to achieve this purpose.
Based on the information in this report, public comment, and discussion at the meeting, the Committee is welcome to provide specific direction on interview and selection timing, and any other related topics. If the Committee agrees on potential modifications, staff recommends that the Committee forward their recommendation to the full Council for consideration.
CONCLUSION:
Staff looks forward to the discussion with the Committee.

PURPOSE
To establish a policy to encourage participation by the Town’s residents on Town Boards, Commissions and Committees (hereinafter referred to as "Commissions"). The Town of Los Gatos is committed to inclusivity. We value all our community members, regardless of religion, immigration status, ethnicity, race, disability, gender, sexual orientation, or gender identity. The Town will encourage residents to participate on Commissions by advertising vacancies on Commissions for at least 30 days, preparing easily understood applications, maintaining clear descriptions of the role of each Board, Commission, and Committee and its respective members, providing current meeting schedules, and conducting public interviews of all Commission applicants, except as provided by this Policy.
SCOPE
This Policy applies to all applicants to Town Boards, Commissions and Committees.
POLICY
The Town Council encourages public participation in all decision-making and to be successful residents must be assured both that the participation is meaningful and that their input will be valued. The widest representation from the community can only be achieved if vacancies are well advertised so that anyone interested will have the opportunity to apply.
Interviews of the applicants conducted in public by the Town Council demonstrates that it values these appointments and that all have an equal opportunity to be appointed.
Applicants may apply to more than one Commission, and shall rank their choices in their preferred order, during each recruitment cycle.

5. Notify the applicant by letter or email as to the date and time of the interview.
6. Facilitate the Council voting process set forth below by informing Council as to how many votes are possible on each Commission, calling out applicants' names, and identifying the applicants receiving sufficient votes for appointment. This process does not apply to student applicants.
7. Applicants:
a. For adult applicants — After the interviews and Council vote are completed, notify all applicants of the Council's action, and explain Town policy of keeping application active for one year with notification of subsequent openings on that Commission to the interested applicants. b. For student applicants — After the interviews are completed, notify all applicants of the Council Committee's action, and prepare a staff report for the Town Council to ratify the Committee's appointment at the first Town Council meeting in June.

POLICY NUMBER:

Balloting Process
Unless determined otherwise, the Council shall conduct a ballot vote for the appointment of individuals to fill the vacancies for each Commission. Such ballot vote may be conducted at either a regular, adjourned, or special meeting of the Town Council. The ballot vote process shall be conducted as follows:
1. The Town Clerk shall provide a ballot to each Town Council member listing the names of all applicants and “None of the above” for each respective Commission. Prior to the vote, the Town Clerk shall publicly announce the position vacancy and all applicant names that are listed on the ballot.
2. Each Council member may vote for the same number of applicants as there are current vacancies on the respective Commission. In no case, can a Council Member cast more votes than there are vacancies; or vote for the same candidate more than once on each ballot (i.e. cumulative voting -- e.g. where there are three vacancies, a Council member may not give all three votes to the same candidate). A Council Member is not required to vote for any of the candidates or for the total number of vacancies available.
3. The Town Clerk shall collect all ballots and shall publicly announce the name of each Town Council member and how that Council member cast his or her vote. In the case of a tie vote, the Town Clerk will announce that there is a tie and that a run-off vote shall be conducted but will not announce the names of the applicants in the run-off. Once all voting is concluded and a decision made, the votes will be made public. The run-off ballot will also include a “None of the above” option.
4. Applicants receiving a majority number of votes shall be deemed appointed to the Commission. In the event of a tie, a run-off vote shall be conducted among the applicants receiving the highest number of votes from the previous round. This shall continue until a majority consensus on an applicant(s) is reached for the number of vacancies to be filled. In the event of an unbreakable tie, the Council may determine an alternative method for selecting the appointee(s) or direct the Town Clerk to re-advertise the vacancy.
5. If an applicant(s) is appointed to an Advisory Body which has vacancies for both full and partial, unexpired terms, the length of the appointee’s term will be determined by the Mayor.
B. Mid-Term Recruitments
During the year, Commissions may experience vacancies that drop the number of filled seats to a number of members that is not sufficient to conduct Commission business. The Commission may request the Council to conduct a mid-term recruitment to fill seats. To the extent possible, the Town Clerk will consolidate mid-term recruitments to minimize the number of recruitments occurring throughout the year. In the event of a vacancy on the Planning Commission, the Town will automatically conduct a mid-term recruitment. Midterm recruitments will not be conducted for Youth Commissioners. The Town Clerk shall advertise mid-term vacancies on Commissions for at least 15 days.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Under the Fair Political Practice Act, an advisory board member has a disqualifying conflict of interest in a governmental decision if it is foreseeable that the decision will have a financial impact on his or her personal finances or other financial interests. In such cases, there is a risk of biased decision-making that could sacrifice the public’s interest in favor of the official’s private financial interests. To avoid actual bias or the appearance of possible improprieties, the public official is prohibited from participating in the decision.
The Fair Political Practice Act does not prohibit an advisory board member from participating in a decision simply by virtue of holding a position as a board member, director, officer, or employment with a nonprofit corporation. However, the Town strongly encourages that in the event that a decision concerns a nonprofit corporation for which an advisory board member is a board member, director, officer, or employed with that nonprofit corporation, the person should recuse him or herself and at a minimum shall disclose the potential conflict of interest before any discussion and decision.

Advertise the vacancies, including the application deadline and the interview date, which shall be set for no later than the second the same evening and in a separate meeting following the Special Council Meeting in December certifying the election certification, swearing in any recently elected Council Members, and appointing the next Mayor and Vice Mayor Town Council meeting in December for Adult Commissioners, and by the fourth Wednesday in May, no earlier than 4:00 p.m., for Youth Commissioners.

b. If an incumbent Commissioner is requesting reappointment to the same Commission, the incumbent may submit a request to be interviewed by telephone, with their application, instead of attending the interview or must submit a letter prior to the interviews, describing the reason why the applicant cannot be present telephonically or in person for the interview, and why the applicant should be reappointed to the Commission.

c. Submissions deadlines are mandatory; no exceptions are permitted.
4. Applications:
a. For adult applicants — Accept applications, verify eligibility, and distribute copies of the applications of eligible applicants to the Town Council prior to the interviews for appointment.
b. For student applicants — Accept applications, verify eligibility, and distribute copies of the applications of eligible applicants to the Town Council Selection Committee, consisting of the Mayor, Vice Mayor, Police Chief, and Youth Commission Chair (if not reapplying), prior to the interviews for appointment.
5. Notify the applicant by letter or email as to the date and time of the interview and provide the option for an in person or teleconference interview.
6. Facilitate the Council voting process set forth below by informing Council as to how many votes are possible on each Commission, calling out applicants' names, and identifying the applicants receiving sufficient votes for appointment. This process does not apply to student applicants.
7. Applicants:
a. For adult applicants — After the interviews and Council vote are completed, notify all applicants of the Council's action, and explain Town policy of keeping application active for one year with notification of subsequent openings on that Commission to the interested applicants. b. For student applicants — After the interviews are completed, notify all applicants of the Council Committee's action, and prepare a staff report for the Town Council to ratify the Committee's appointment at the first Town Council meeting in June.
Interview Process
To ensure the interview process is consistent, fair, and equitable, each applicant shall be asked the same standard questions, as provided below. Notwithstanding, no Council Member shall be prevented from asking appropriate questions of applicants.
1. If appointed, what ideas would you like to see the Commission explore?
2. Please expand beyond the written response on your application: your experience, interest, and/or expertise that you feel would be most useful to the Commission.
3. Please elaborate on any written response provided in the application to assist the Council learn more about you.
4. If you did not answer any of the questions on the application, please explain why.
Given that most interviews are only three to five minutes due to the size of the applicant pool, the standard questions are limited in number to allow an applicant sufficient time to respond.
The Council may or may not ask all of the questions, in the same order, or by the same Council member. Interview questions will be reviewed annually by the Town Council in advance of the interview process for any potential modifications.

Balloting Process
Unless determined otherwise, the Council shall conduct a ballot vote for the appointment of individuals to fill the vacancies for each Commission. Such ballot vote may be conducted at either a regular, adjourned, or special meeting of the Town Council. The ballot vote process shall be conducted as follows:
1. The Town Clerk shall provide a ballot to each Town Council member listing the names of all applicants and “None of the above” for each respective Commission. Prior to the vote, the Town Clerk shall publicly announce the position vacancy and all applicant names that are listed on the ballot.
2. Each Council member may vote for the same number of applicants as there are current vacancies on the respective Commission. In no case, can a Council Member cast more votes than there are vacancies; or vote for the same candidate more than once on each ballot (i.e. cumulative voting -- e.g. where there are three vacancies, a Council member may not give all three votes to the same candidate). A Council Member is not required to vote for any of the candidates or for the total number of vacancies available.
3. The Town Clerk shall collect all ballots and shall publicly announce the name of each Town Council member and how that Council member cast his or her vote. In the case of a tie vote, the Town Clerk will announce that there is a tie and that a run-off vote shall be conducted but will not announce the names of the applicants in the run-off. Once all voting is concluded and a decision made, the votes will be made public. The run-off ballot will also include a “None of the above” option.
4. Applicants receiving a majority number of votes shall be deemed appointed to the Commission. In the event of a tie, a run-off vote shall be conducted among the applicants receiving the highest number of votes from the previous round. This shall continue until a majority consensus on an applicant(s) is reached for the number of vacancies to be filled. In the event of an unbreakable tie, the Council may determine an alternative method for selecting the appointee(s) or direct the Town Clerk to re-advertise the vacancy.
5. If an applicant(s) is appointed to an Advisory Body which has vacancies for both full and partial, unexpired terms, the length of the appointee’s term will be determined by the Mayor.
B. Mid-Term Recruitments
During the year, Commissions may experience vacancies that drop the number of filled seats to a number of members that is not sufficient to conduct Commission business. The Commission may request the Council to conduct a mid-term recruitment to fill seats. To the extent possible, the Town Clerk will consolidate mid-term recruitments to minimize the number of recruitments occurring throughout the year. In the event of a vacancy on the Planning Commission, the Town will automatically conduct a mid-term recruitment. Midterm recruitments will not be conducted for Youth Commissioners. The Town Clerk shall advertise mid-term vacancies on Commissions for at least 15 days.

COMPLIANCE - GROUNDS FOR DISMISSAL
A member may be removed from the Advisory Body prior to the end of his or her term by a three-fifths (3/5) vote of the Town Council and may not be reappointed for the following reasons:
1. Failure to attend Advisory Body meetings.
TITLE: Commission Appointments, Residency and

POLICY NUMBER:

2. Failure to file the following documents required by the Fair Political Practices Commission (Adult Commissioners):
a. Form 700 – Assuming Office, Annual, and Leaving Office when term is complete. b. Planning Commissioners are also required to complete AB 1234 Ethics Training and file the original certificate with the Town Clerk every two years.
3. Failure to comply with all Town Policies, Guidelines, and Handbooks.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Under the Fair Political Practice Act, an advisory board member has a disqualifying conflict of interest in a governmental decision if it is foreseeable that the decision will have a financial impact on his or her personal finances or other financial interests. In such cases, there is a risk of biased decision-making that could sacrifice the public’s interest in favor of the official’s private financial interests. To avoid actual bias or the appearance of possible improprieties, the public official is prohibited from participating in the decision.
The Fair Political Practice Act does not prohibit an advisory board member from participating in a decision simply by virtue of holding a position as a board member, director, officer, or employment with a nonprofit corporation. However, the Town strongly encourages that in the event that a decision concerns a nonprofit corporation for which an advisory board member is a board member, director, officer, or employed with that nonprofit corporation, the person should recuse him or herself and at a minimum shall disclose the potential conflict of interest before any discussion and decision.

SUBJECT: Authorize the Town Manager to Execute a Second Contract Amendment to the Traffic Signal and Streetlight Maintenance and Underground Service Alert Locating Services Contract with St. Francis Electric, Inc.
DATE: March 10, 2022
BACKGROUND:
The Town of Los Gatos utilizes contractual services for the traffic signal and streetlight repair and maintenance and underground utility locating services within the Town jurisdiction. Traffic signal and streetlight contractual services include repairs on an as-needed basis, periodic inspections, testing of the equipment, and lamp replacements. Underground utility locating services involve responding to Underground Service Alert (USA) requests to identify and mark the Town’s underground infrastructure at construction sites prior to any digging operations.
Staff has determined that contractual services would be the most cost-effective delivery method due to technical expertise and specialty equipment required.
On September 15, 2020, the Town Council authorized the execution of a five-year agreement with St. Francis Electric, Inc. to provide traffic signal and streetlight repair and maintenance and USA locating services for a total agreement amount not to exceed $675,000. The agreement term is from FY 2020/21 through FY 2024/25. Current contract terms stipulate that compensation for each fiscal year would not exceed $135,000. A new purchase order in the amount of $135,000 is issued at the beginning of each fiscal year for the service for that year.
On August 3, 2021, the Town Council approved the first amendment to the Operations Contract with St. Francis Electric, Inc. in the amount of $8,567 for FY 2020/21 to cover the cost overage from a high number of USA requests received for various development and Town capital improvement projects. Council approved the additional amount to be funded from FY 2020/21 Parks and Public Works Department – Engineering Development Services Program (5202), for a total revised contract amount not to exceed $683,567.
DISCUSSION:
The services needed and resulting costs each fiscal year depend on the number of traffic signal and streetlight repair and maintenance calls and USA requests. The repair and maintenance response services budget is close to full expenditure for this fiscal year. The Town encountered numerous traffic signal repair issues, and staff anticipates more funds are needed to replace and maintain traffic signal cabinets, conduits, wiring, and poles for the remainder of the fiscal year.
The annual appropriation for the underground utility locating services is $17,000, which accounts for approximately 120 USA requests per year ($140/USA request). Through January 2022 of this fiscal year, St. Francis Electric responded to 206 USA requests, and staff anticipates that there could be as many as 200 more USA requests for the remainder of the fiscal year due to upcoming utility improvements, private developments, and Town capital projects.

DATE: March 10, 2022
DISCUSSION (continued):
An additional $67,000 is needed for the remainder of FY 2021/22 to continue the contract services by St. Francis Electric without disruptions as summarized below:

Total $135,000 $124,056 $ 77,444 $201,951
Additional Amount Needed for FY 2021/22 $ 66,951
Rounded Up to $ 67,000
Staff has identified a source of funds for this increase from FY 2021/22 Parks and Public Works Department – Engineering Development Services Program (5202) revenues, where revenues are tracking higher than anticipated.
For the remaining three fiscal years (FY 2022/23 to FY 2024/25) of the five-year agreement with St. Francis Electric, staff is requesting that the Town Council authorize an annual contract amount capacity increase of $50,000 per fiscal year, increasing the total five-year contract amount not to exceed $900,567.
Original Contract $ 675,000
First Amendment $ 8,567 for FY 2020/21
Second Amendment $ 67,000 for FY 2021/22
$ 150,000 for FY 2022/23 to FY 2024/25
Total $900,567
This would allow the annual contract amount to increase from $135,000 to $185,000 for the next three fiscal years to cover future service level increases. Funding for the FY 2022/23 to FY 2024/25 services would be established during each annual budget process.
PAGE 4 OF 4
SUBJECT: Authorize the Town Manager to Execute a Second Contract Amendment to the Traffic Signal and Streetlight Maintenance and Underground Service Alert Locating Services Contract with St. Francis Electric, Inc.
DATE: March 10, 2022
CONCLUSION:
The Town Council’s authorization of the second contract amendment for the traffic signal and streetlight repair and maintenance and USA locating services would allow St. Francis Electric to continue providing the contract services in FY 2021/22 and increase the contract capacity by $50,000 each fiscal year for the remaining three years of the contract term.
COORDINATION:
This report is coordinated with the Finance Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There are sufficient funds available in the FY 2021/22 Parks and Public Works Department - Engineering Development Services Program (5202) revenues for the $67,000 contract increase of the second contract amendment. The $150,000 increase for the remaining three fiscal years would be subject to future appropriation of funds during the corresponding annual budget processes.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
The actions associated with this item are not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 03/15/2022
ITEM NO: 9
DATE: March 3, 2022
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Corporation Yard Building Replacement Project (CIP No. 821-2302):
a. Reject all Bids for the Corporation Yard Building Replacement CIP Project No. 821-2302 and Authorize the Town Manager to Rebid the Project; and b. Authorize the Town Manager to Execute a Fourth Amendment to Agreement with Cuschieri Horton Architects in an Amount of $9,390 for a Total Agreement Amount Not to Exceed $227,840 for Plan Revisions; and c. Authorize an Expenditure Budget Adjustment in the Amount of $600,000 to the Project from Available General Fund Appropriated Reserve and General Fund Capital/Special Projects Reserve.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Town Council take the following actions:
a. Reject all bids for the Corporation Yard Building Replacement CIP Project No. 821-2302 and authorize the Town Manager to rebid the project; and
b. Authorize the Town Manager to Execute a Fourth Amendment to Agreement with Cuschieri Horton Architects (Attachment 1) in an amount of $9,390 for a total agreement amount not to exceed $227,840 for plan revisions; and
c. Authorize an expenditure budget adjustment in the amount of $600,000 to the Project from available General Fund Appropriated Reserve (GFAR) and General Fund Capital Special Projects Reserve.
BACKGROUND:
The Town’s adopted Fiscal Year (FY) 2021/22 Capital Improvement Program Budget designates funding for Town projects, including Project 821-2302, Building Replacement at the Corporation
PAGE 2 OF 4
SUBJECT: Corporation Yard Building Replacement Project (CIP No. 821-2302) DATE: March 3, 2022
BACKGROUND (continued):
Yard. This is the second phase in a two phased project in which phase one resulted in the conversion of warehouse space to office space and phase two involves replacing an old portable building, that has been used as staff space and police evidence storage, with a steel storage building.
On October 2, 2018, the Town Council authorized the Town Manager to execute an agreement with Cuschieri Horton Architects for the Design of Corporation Yard Building Replacement and Engineering Tenant Improvement project.
On August 18, 2020, the Town Council authorized the Town Manager to execute a construction contract with DesignTek Consulting Group, LLC. for the construction of phase one of the project which included tenant improvements of engineering staff offices and conversion of warehouse space into staff office space. The phase one construction work has been completed. The maintenance staff has relocated to the new offices and Police evidence has been moved to a temporary trailer in preparation for phase two of the project.
On December 21, 2021, the Town Council authorized advertising the project for bid. The project was subsequently advertised for bids and bids were opened on February 3, 2022.
DISCUSSION:
A mandatory pre-bid walk-through was held on January 18, 2022 for prospective bidders to visit the project site before bidding. A total of 8 contractors and sub-contractors attended the prebid walk-through. However, only one bid from Premier Builders, Inc. in the amount of $1,146,104 was received for the project. The bid amount exceeded the $763,776 amount that Town Council had authorized based on the engineer’s estimate.
To address the high bid amount, staff proposes to award the project as two separate contracts, one for demolition and one for construction. This will enable more competitive bidding from specialized contractors in each respective phase.
Cuschieri Horton Architects will provide additional services to simplify the bid package by removing the completed Phase I of the overall project plan set which included the improvements at the Engineering Building and to look for opportunities to remove scope from the project. This will provide more clarity to the scope of work to prospective bidders.
PAGE 3 OF 4
SUBJECT: Corporation Yard Building Replacement Project (CIP No. 821-2302) DATE: March 3, 2022
CONCLUSION:
Approval of the recommendations would allow the project to move forward. Two separate construction contracts would be awarded to the lowest responsible bidders, in alignment with the Procurement Policy.
COORDINATION:
The design of this project has been coordinated with Community Development Department and County Fire through the building permit process.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Based on the estimated cost of construction to complete this project, additional funds of $600,000 are required. This is due to the increased costs for construction and materials since the project’s conception in 2018. The budget adjustment allows for funding to be in place as required to bid the project. Should favorable bids be received, excess funds would be returned to General Fund Appropriated Reserve (GFAR).
The below table summarizes the anticipated project expenditures. There are sufficient funds available in the GFAR and in the General Fund Capital/Special Projects Reserve for the additional expenses.

ASR #1 – SURVEYING & ENGINEERING SERVICES
LOS GATOS, CA
Dear Dan,
This letter is our amendment to the original proposal dated May 23, 2018, for the above referenced project. The following scope of work is included in this amendment:
SUPPLEMENTAL TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY $3,600
Perform a supplemental topographic survey of the area per the attached Exhibit A. Provide field and office work to produce a supplemental topographic survey at a scale of 1" = 20'.
This survey will show the location of the underground utility locating paint marks. The location of utility vaults, manholes, catch basins and invert information of storm and sanitary sewers will be shown based upon a field survey. The location of underground utility lines such as gas, water, electric, and any onsite utilities will be shown based upon available agency records and mechanical detection of existing utilities.
Existing water features (hydrants and valves) in the area of the proposed POC will also be documented.
Mechanical locating services will be provided for detectable utilities using standard locating methods as listed in the California Government Code section 4216 through 4216.9. Depths and sizes of conduits will not be provided unless specifically requested in advance. Empty conduits, irrigation lines, hose bibs and abandoned utilities will also not be located unless specifically requested in advance. A reasonable effort will be made to locate existing subsurface utilities but individual field conditions will dictate the thoroughness of our survey. Only actual excavation will reveal the locations of such utilities.
We reserve the right to utilize aerial survey techniques if deemed appropriate for scope and site features. Aerial survey will be supplemented with conventional survey for utility information and survey under trees or areas not visible from above. Aerial spot elevations for aerial survey will be shown to an accuracy of ±0.1 (one tenth) of a foot.
ENGINEERING SERVICES $4,250
Provide a utility plan for a new fire water connection to the proposed structure. Submit to San Jose Water for review and approval.
Coordinate with the subconsultants.
Respond to two (2) rounds of review comments.

TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Authorize the Town Manager to Execute an Agreement for Services with Ashron Construction and Restoration, Inc. for Structural Repairs and Waterproofing of the Lot 4 Parking Structure Project (CIP No. 817-0708) in an Amount not to Exceed $179,800 Plus an Additional $20,000 for Unanticipated Repairs for a Total Agreement Amount not to Exceed $199,800 RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Town Manager to execute an agreement for services (Attachment 1) with Ashron Construction and Restoration, Inc. for structural repairs and waterproofing of the Lot 4 parking structure project (CIP No. 817-0708) in an amount not to exceed $179,800 plus an additional $20,000 for unanticipated repairs for a total agreement amount not to exceed $199,800.
BACKGROUND:
The Town’s adopted Fiscal Year (FY) 2021/22 Capital Improvement Program Budget designates funding for Town projects, including Project 817-0708, Parking Lot 4 Repair and Waterproofing.
Parking lot 4 is a two-level parking structure constructed nearly twenty-five years ago with no major infrastructure improvements to this facility since then. The concrete deck and columns have deteriorated in several areas exposing structural steel and causing water leakage through the deck and into the lower level. The integrated planter boxes in and around the perimeter of the deck have waterproof membranes that have deteriorated and drainage systems that are failing.

SUBJECT: Authorize the Town Manager to Execute an Agreement for Services with Ashron Construction and Restoration, Inc. in a Total Agreement Amount not to Exceed $199,800
DATE: March 10, 2022
DISCUSSION:
Staff initiated a Request for Proposal (RFP) for repair and waterproofing services on the Lot 4 Parking Structure. Firms were asked to provide their capability and qualifications for the services and to provide costs for performing structural concrete repairs, replacing waterproof membranes in the planters, and painting the vertical exterior surfaces of the parking structure.
The RFP was posted on the Town website and three firms attended the mandatory walkthrough, two of whom submitted proposals, with the results listed on Attachment 2.
Based on the review of the proposals, including reference checks, staff determined that Ashron Construction and Restoration, Inc. is the best qualified and most cost competitive firm to provide the requested repairs. Ashron Construction and Restoration, Inc. is headquartered in Galt and has performed several concrete structural repairs on similar parking structures throughout Northern California.
CONCLUSION:
Authorize the Town Manager to execute an agreement for services with Ashron Construction and Restoration, Inc. for structural repairs and waterproofing of the Lot 4 parking structure project (CIP No. 817-0708) in an amount not to exceed $179,800 plus an additional $20,000 for unanticipated repairs for a total agreement amount not to exceed $199,800.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Lot 4 Parking Structure Project (CIP No. 817-0708) in the FY 2021/22 - 2025/26 has sufficient funds for the contract.

TOWN OF LOS GATOS
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 03/15/2022
ITEM NO: 11
DATE: March 10, 2022
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution for the California Public Employees’ Retirement System to Appoint a Retiree as an Interim Parks and Public Works Director RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution for the California Public Employees’ Retirement System to appoint a retiree as an Interim Parks and Public Works Director (Attachment 1).
BACKGROUND:
The Town has an existing agreement with the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) to provide its retirement program to employees. The CalPERS retirement program is governed by Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL). PERL contains the rules and regulations that a contracting agency must adhere to related to the hire of a CalPERS retiree, referred to as a retired annuitant. PERL also requires that if a retired annuitant will be rehired into a vacant position while a recruitment for a permanent replacement is taking place, the governing body must approve a resolution appointing the retired annuitant as an interim employee [Gov. Code section 21221(h)].
DISCUSSION:
Recently, Parks and Public Works Director Matt Morley provided his notice of intent to resign from the Town, and his last day of work will be on March 25, 2022. Staff has identified a retired annuitant, Timm Borden through Management Partners to serve in an interim capacity while the recruitment for a permanent replacement takes place. Mr. Borden has served as Interim City Manager for Cupertino from January 2019 to June 2019. Prior to that, he was Cupertino’s Public Works Director for over eight years (December 2010 to January 2019). In addition, he
PAGE 2 OF 2
SUBJECT: Adopt a CalPERS Resolution
DATE: March 10, 2022
DISCUSSION (continued):
worked over 24 years in the City of San Jose Department of Public Works, and when he left, he was Deputy Director of Public Works (September 1986 to December 2010). He is a qualified professional who works well with staff and the public.
The Town has entered into an agreement with the executive recruitment firm of Teri Black & Co. to facilitate the search for a new Parks and Public Works Director. The typical recruitment timeline to hire an executive position is four months. To allow for uninterrupted time sensitive work in the Parks and Public Works Department and provide for continued support to the Town Manager, Town staff, boards, and commissions, staff is recommending to hire Timm Borden as an Interim Public Works Director until the permanent replacement is hired.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the CalPERS resolution to appoint Timm Borden to the Interim Parks and Public Works Director position be adopted by Council while the recruitment for a permanent replacement takes place.
FISCAL IMPACT:
It is anticipated that the hire of a retired annuitant will result in overall budget savings given that the retiree will not be eligible for benefits related to permanent employment except the Town’s contribution to Medicare.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
This is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 03/15/2022
ITEM NO: 12
ITEM NO: 10
DATE: March 4, 2022
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Fee and Fine Schedules for Fiscal Year 2022/23 a. Adopt a Resolution Approving the Comprehensive Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2022/23 to Continue Certain Department Fees, Rates, and Charges, and Amending Certain Fees, Rates, and Charges for Fiscal Year 2022/23. b. Adopt a Resolution Approving the Comprehensive Fine Schedule for Fiscal Year 2022/23 to Continue Certain Department Fines.
RECOMMENDATION:
Fee and Fine Schedules for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022/23
a. Adopt a resolution approving the Comprehensive Fee Schedule for FY 2022/23 to continue certain Department fees, rates, and charges, and amending certain fees, rates, and charges for FY 2022/23.
b. Adopt a resolution approving the Comprehensive Fine Schedule for FY 2022/23 to continue certain department fines.
BACKGROUND:
The Town’s financial policies require that certain fees, rates, and charges for services be maintained to allow for cost recovery based on the actual cost to provide Town services. “Fee” activities are services and functions provided by the Town to individuals who receive some direct material benefit above and beyond services offered to residents at general taxpayer expense. “Fines” are the amounts of the penalties for code violations imposed pursuant to Section 1.30.025 of the Los Gatos Town Code.
Staff periodically reviews the cost of providing such services and recommends appropriate increases in fees when supported by actual cost data. The Town’s last comprehensive cost
PAGE 2 OF 4
SUBJECT: Fee and Fine Schedule for Fiscal Year 2022/23
DATE: March 15, 2022
BACKGROUND (continued):
allocation and user fee study recommendations were incorporated in the FY 2019/20 Fee Schedule.
The Town has not adjusted its fees since FY 2019/20. Due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the discussion of changes to the Comprehensive Fee Schedule was postponed to a later date. Council did approve one change to the Town’s Comprehensive Fee Schedule at their September 1, 2020, meeting to remove library fines as this provided an immediate operational benefit to the Library Department.
DISCUSSION:
The Comprehensive Fee Schedule allows for an annual adjustment of fees by the average increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the previous calendar year. The average increase in the CPI for 2019, 2020, and 2021, was 3.2%, 1.7%, and 3.4% respectively, for a cumulative cost of living increase of 8.5% since 2019.
Staff recommends that Council review and choose one of the three CPI scenarios presented in this report. In scenario one, fees are adjusted with the most current 3.4% CPI amount forgoing the 2019 and 2020 CPI increases (see Attachment 1 and its Exhibit A). Scenario two contains a
5.9% CPI increase, which is halfway between the 3.2% and 8.5% (see Attachment 2 and its Exhibit A). Scenario three proposed a full recovery at 8.5% CPI See Attachment 3 and its Exhibit A).
In addition to the proposed CPI changes, the proposed FY 2022/23 Comprehensive Fee Schedule accounts for modifications to fees as explained below:
Administrative Services
1. Credit Card Processing Fee – Proposing 2.4% fee on all transactions to reflect actual costs to the Town.
Development Services
1. Community Benefit – The Town no longer has a Community Benefit Policy so it should be removed from the Fee Schedule.
2. Public Art In-Lieu Fee – At their April 20, 2021, meeting, the Town Council approved a public art funding ordinance (Chapter 25 Article VII) which requires new commercial developments, with some exceptions, to either install public artwork equivalent to 1% of construction valuation or pay that amount into the Town’s Public Art Fund in-lieu of installing public artwork.
3. Street Improvement in-lieu fees – Proposing to increase these two fees to reflect current costs as determined by bids for recent Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects.
PAGE 3 OF 4
SUBJECT: Fee and Fine Schedule for Fiscal Year 2022/23
DATE: March 15, 2022
DISCUSSION (continued):
4. Two-unit Housing Development and Urban Lot Split - With the creation of two new application types in the implementation of Senate Bill 9 through Urgency Ordinance 2327, Two-Unit Housing Development and Urban Lot Split, new fees are proposed consistent with existing fees for the Accessory Dwelling Unit application type, which is also a ministerial permit.
5. Other Administrative Fee - The existing 10% Administrative Fee that is included for processing of consultant deposits is added here to provide additional clarity and transparency for applicants.
Parks and Public Works Services
1. Tree Removal Permit Application – Proposing to add a note to this fee indicating that the fee will be waived when the tree removal is done to implement or maintain Defensible Space.
Police Services
1. Massage Permit Fees – State law has created a statewide permitting system administered by the California Massage Therapy Council for issuing massage worker permits. Therefore, the Police Department no longer incurs the costs that the fees in items 10 and 11 were imposed to cover. These fees are proposed to be deleted.
Attachments 1 through 3 contain the three scenarios of the proposed FY 2022/23 Comprehensive Fee Schedules reflecting all Town fees (including proposed changes). An itemized list of recommended FY 2022/23 fee adjustments, reclassifications, and deletions, including those to be adjusted by the three CPI scenarios are reflected in Attachment 4. It should be noted that the majority of proposed adjustments relate to the development activity which was not adversely affected during the pandemic.
The Comprehensive Fine Schedule sets forth the administrative penalty amounts for code violations. Attached for Council reference is an updated FY 2022/23 Comprehensive Fine Schedule (Exhibit A to Attachment 5) reflecting all Town fines. Staff does not recommend any changes to the fines this time.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that Town Council approve one of the proposed CPI scenarios to the Comprehensive Fee Schedule (Attachment 1, 2, or 3) and the Comprehensive Fine Schedule effective July 1, 2022 (Attachment 5).
PAGE 4 OF 4
SUBJECT: Fee and Fine Schedule for Fiscal Year 2022/23
DATE: March 15, 2022
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Town’s financial polices require that fees be maintained to provide for the recovery of costs associated with Town services. The proposed fee adjustments reflect three scenarios to an increase in the CPI, and, therefore, adopting one of them will better represent the cost to deliver services. If approved by the Town Council, staff will incorporate the selected fee changes into the Town’s FY 2022/23 Operating and Capital Budget using conservative development and other activity projections.
COORDINATION:
The preparation of the Fee and Fine Schedules was coordinated with all Town Departments and Offices.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
This is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.

The Fee Schedule will be adjusted annually by the average Consumer Price Index (Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor for the San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose Metropolitan Statistical Area) for the calendar year and/or by the percentage increase in actual operating costs for the current year – whichever is greater. The average increase in the CPI for 2019, 2020, and 2021, was 3.2%, 1.7% , and 3.4% respectively, for a cumulative cost of living increase of 8.5% since 2019. Fees are adjusted with the most current 3.4% CPI amount forgoing the 2019 and 2020 CPI increases. This Fee Schedule also provides for minimum annual adjustments for those fees that are directly related to personnel costs. Other adjustments may be made to maintain consistency with the surrounding municipalities within the Town of Los Gatos region but in no case are fees charged in excess of service delivery costs.
