DISCUSSION:
In accordance with the adopted Resolution and pursuant to the requirements of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets and Highways Code Section 22500), the Engineer’s Report (Attachment 8) contains the following information:
1. Plans and specifications for the maintenance of the existing improvements and for proposed new improvements, if any, to be made within the assessment districts or within any zones thereof.
2. An estimate of the costs of said proposed new improvements, if any, to be made along with the costs of maintenance or servicing, or both, thereof, and of any existing improvements, together with the incidental expenses in connection therewith.
PAGE 3 OF 4
SUBJECT: Landscape and Lighting Assessment Districts 1 & 2 DATE: April 26, 2022
DISCUSSION (continued):
3. A diagram showing the exterior boundaries of the assessment districts and of any zones within said districts and the lines and dimensions of each lot or parcel of land within the districts as such lot or parcel of land is shown on the County Assessor’s map for the fiscal year to which the report applies, each of which lots or parcels of land shall be identified by a distinctive number or letter on said diagram.
4. A proposed assessment of the total amount of the estimated costs and expenses of the maintenance activities and proposed new improvements, if any, upon the several lots or parcels of land in said districts in proportion to the estimated particular and distinct benefits to be received by each of such lots or parcels of land, respectively, from said improvements, including the maintenance or servicing, or both, thereof, and of the expenses incidental thereto.
The recommended actions will maintain the assessments at each of the benefit zones at the historic level, with no additions or reductions as these funding levels are appropriate to address regular ongoing maintenance as well as capital maintenance as needed.
The Council may also direct that modifications be made to the Engineer’s Report, if it so desires.
After Council’s consideration and adoption of the Resolutions Approving the FY 2022/23 Preliminary Engineer’s Report (Attachment 1), Intentions to Levy and Collect Assessments (Attachments 2-7) and setting the date and time for the public hearing for June 21, 2022, Town staff will mail a Notice of Intention to Levy Annual Assessments for FY 2022/23 to all property owners which will include the public hearing date, time, and location.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 5/3/2022
ITEM NO: 14
DATE: April 27, 2022
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Authorize the Town Manager to Execute On-Call Traffic Engineering Consultant Services Agreements for Pass-Through Accounts with Advanced Mobility Group, Fehr and Peers, Hexagon Transportation Consultants, Inc., Kimley-Horn Associates, Inc., TJKM Transportation Consultants, and W-Trans RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Town Manager to execute on-call Traffic Engineering consultant services agreements for Pass-Through Accounts with Advanced Mobility Group (Attachment 1), Fehr and Peers (Attachment 2), Hexagon Transportation Consultants, Inc. (Attachment 3), KimleyHorn Associates, Inc. (Attachment 4), TJKM Transportation Consultants (Attachment 5), and WTrans (Attachment 6).
BACKGROUND:
The Pass-Through Accounts Program provides an accounting structure to receive applicant fees to pay for the required technical analysis (e.g., traffic study engineering and/or geotechnical reviews) of an applicant’s private development proposal by the Town’s consultants. This structure separates ongoing Parks and Public Works Department operations and activities from development application reviews funded through applicants. Fees for these external development services are paid for in advance by the development applicants.
DISCUSSION:
The Town’s on-call Traffic Engineering consultants provide services and expertise to support staff in the review of development projects in a timely manner. These services include transportation impact analysis and reports per the Town’s policies and guidelines that may

DATE: April 27, 2022
DISCUSSION (continued):
include Vehicles Miles Traveled (VMT), trip generation studies, site circulation and access review, intersection and roadway Level of Service (LOS) analysis, traffic safety analysis, parking studies and analysis, as well as Transportation Demand Management analysis and recommendations.
On May 5, 2021, the Town issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the On-Call Traffic Engineering Consultant Services. Proposals were due May 26, 2021. Staff received proposals from eight firms.
Upon review of qualifications and reference checks for each, six firms were selected for the OnCall Traffic Engineering Consultant List for Pass-Through Accounts. Each of these six firms and/or their team have been providing traffic engineering services in the Bay Area for many years and most have served as a consultant to the Town for the past ten years. Staff selected six firms to provide flexible and timely on-call traffic engineering services since these consultants also provide services for private developments in the Town and may have limited availability.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the Town Council authorize the Town Manager to enter into On-Call Traffic Engineering consultant services agreements (Attachments 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) with Advanced Mobility Group, Fehr and Peers, Hexagon Transportation Consultants, Inc., KimleyHorn Associates, Inc., TJKM Transportation Consultants, and W-Trans to continue the PassThrough Accounts Program for traffic reviews and analysis for private development projects.
COORDINATION:
This report has been coordinated with the Town Manager’s Office, Town Attorney’s Office, and the Finance Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact as costs for the On-Call Traffic Engineering consulting services for PassThrough Accounts are paid by applicants of development proposals.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
Environmental Review is not required as this is not a project defined by the California Environmental Quality Act.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 05/03/2022
ITEM NO: 15
ITEM NO:
DATE: April 27, 2022
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Approve an Amendment to the Classification Plan to Create a Flexibly Staffed Communications Dispatcher Job Series
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an amendment to the Classification Plan to create a flexibly staffed Communications Dispatcher job series.
BACKGROUND:
The Town of Los Gatos Personnel Rules and Regulations (Section 4.4) and the Municipal Code (Section 2.30.925) require that amendments and revisions to the classification plan are effective upon approval by Town Council. Changes must be presented to Council for approval as part of the formal budget adoption, through the labor negotiations process, or as needed.
DISCUSSION:
The Town has an existing Communications Dispatcher classification series that was revised in August 2015. In the process of a recent review of the classification, it was determined that a flexibly staffed classification series would better meet the needs of the Police Department to provide a mechanism for succession planning and a career ladder for existing and future employees.
In accordance with the Town’s existing Flexibly Staffed Classes procedure, flexible staffing is the alternate use of two or more classes in a designated series. Flexibly staffed classes allow Departments to hire at the entry-level and provide a career incentive as employees become proficient and gain more experience which ultimately benefits the Town through retention and reduced training time. Alternatively, Departments may hire new employees at the more advanced levels within the series depending on the complexity of assignments and experience needed when vacancies exist.
PAGE 2 OF 2
SUBJECT: Amendment to the Classification Plan to Create a Flexibly Staffed Communications Dispatcher Job Series
DATE: April 27, 2022
DISCUSSION (continued):
The revised Communications Dispatcher series would contain the following classifications:
Communications Dispatcher, Senior Communications Dispatcher, and Communications Dispatcher Lead. If approved, the Senior Communications Dispatcher would be added to the Salary Schedule for TEA Classifications (Attachment 1) with appropriate advances in salary ranges that have been calculated using external and internal compensation data to ensure equity.
Since this is a Town Employees’ Association (TEA) represented classification, staff has met its obligation to meet and confer regarding the proposed classification and salary range changes.
CONCLUSION:
Staff is requesting the approval of an amendment to the classification plan to create a flexibly staffed series for the Communications Dispatcher classification that would result in the addition of Senior Communications Dispatcher to the plan. The Town’s Personnel Rules and Municipal Code require Council approval of classification plan amendments. The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), that provides the Town’s employee pension benefits, requires that any changes proposed to Town salary schedules are formally approved by a municipal agency governing body (Town Council).
FISCAL IMPACT:
If a vacancy occurs or the department chooses to promote an existing staff member, the cost will be absorbed into the Department’s existing operating budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
This is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 05/03/2022
ITEM NO: 16
DATE: April 26, 2022
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Receive the Results of the Community Survey and Provide any Direction to Staff
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive the results of the Community Survey (Attachments 1 and 2) and provide any direction to staff.
BACKGROUND:
On July 28, 2021, the Town issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Community Survey Consultant Services. As stated in the Purpose Section of the RFP, “The Town of Los Gatos (Town) is seeking proposals from qualified professional consultants (Proposers) to conduct a scientific community survey to gather resident feedback and measure satisfaction with Town services, quality of life, and other information to help the Town better understand the community’s priorities, concerns, and needs.”
Proposals were due by the August 25, 2021, submittal deadline. The Town received eight proposals from the following firms by the submittal deadline:
CoSpero Consulting
Downs & St. Germain Research
EMC Research
ETC Institute
FM3
Godbe Research
Probolsky Research
True North Research
PAGE 2 OF 4
SUBJECT: Community Survey Results
DATE: April 26, 2022
BACKGROUND:
After staff review and scoring of the proposals, the firms of Probolsky, FM3, and ETC Institute were invited to the interview phase of the selection process. Based on the initial scoring, interviews, and subsequent reference checks, staff engaged the services of ETC Institute to perform the Community Survey.
DISCUSSION:
In consultation with the Town, ETC Institute developed the Community Survey instrument which was mailed to a random sample of households starting February 2, 2022. At the conclusion of the survey response period, ETC Institute received 650 completed surveys, surpassing the goal of 400 households, and equating to a precision of at least +/-3.8% at the 95% level of confidence. The survey sample was both representative of demographic and geographic respondents. The GIS map below shows the Town boundaries and the red dots represent completed surveys.
Attachment 2 provides visual color-coded survey results by geographic areas of Town.
PAGE 3 OF 4
SUBJECT: Community Survey Results
DATE: April 26, 2022
DISCUSSION (continued):
The survey contains significant information the Council could consider when targeting resources toward services of the highest importance to residents and the targeting of resources toward those services where residents are the least satisfied. In addition, the survey is constructed so future surveys can be benchmarked against prior surveys to create a time series of community satisfaction. Provided below are some of the high-level importance and satisfaction findings from the survey. Staff will provide additional report highlights during the Council meeting.
Almost all residents rated the Town as either an excellent or good place to live (97.2%) and as a place to raise children (93.4%). Compared to the national average in both of these categories, the Town’s rating as a place to live was almost double the national average of 49.7% and 31% points above the national average as a place to raise children. The top two Town services that are most important to residents are the overall quality of Town police services (55.4%) and the overall maintenance of Town streets, sidewalks, and infrastructure (52.0%).
Based on the sum of resident’s top three choices, the top three community investment areas most important for the Town to pursue are: improving traffic flow to reduce traffic congestion (61.9%), maintaining streets, sidewalks, and storm sewer systems (39.7%), and increasing neighborhood police patrols (37.7%).
In addition to the individual importance and satisfaction findings in the survey ETC Institute develops an Importance-Satisfaction (I-S) rating. The Importance-Satisfaction (I-S) rating is based on the concept that public agencies will maximize overall resident satisfaction by emphasizing improvements in those areas where the level of satisfaction is relatively low, and the perceived importance of the service is relatively high. Based on the results of this analysis, the major services that are recommended as the top opportunity for improvement over the next two years, in order to raise the Town's overall satisfaction rating are:
The overall maintenance of Town streets, sidewalks, and infrastructure (I-S Rating=0.1940)
Town Planning, Buildings, and Development services (I-S Rating=0.1625) Overall quality of Town police services (I-S Rating=0.1424) The second level of analysis reviewed the importance of and satisfaction with specific areas of services. This analysis was conducted to help Department managers set priorities for their Department. Based on the results of this analysis, the services that are recommended as the top priorities within each Department over the next two years are listed below:

Purpose & Methodology
Purpose
ETC Institute administered a community survey to residents of the Town of Los Gatos, CA. The purpose of this survey was to gather information on residents' level of satisfaction with Town services and to gather opinions about other topics. Information received will be used to help Town leaders know where they are doing well and where they can improve. Data from the survey will help these leaders to make certain they are making decisions that align to the needs of the Town residents and prioritizing services that will positively impact the community.
Methodology
The survey instrument, cover letter, and postage paid return envelope were mailed to a random sample of households in the Town. The cover letter explained the purpose of the survey and encouraged residents to either return their survey by mail or complete the survey online.
Approximately, ten days after the surveys were mailed, ETC Institute sent emails/text messages to the households that received the survey to encourage participation. The emails/texts contained a link to the online version of the survey to make it easy for residents to complete. To prevent people who were not residents of the Town from participating, everyone who completed the survey online was required to enter their home address prior to submitting the survey. ETC Institute then matched the addresses that were entered online with the addresses that were originally selected for the random sample. If the address from a survey completed online did not match one of the addresses selected for the sample, the online survey was not counted. The GIS map below shows the Town boundaries
and the red dots
represent completed
surveys.
The goal was to obtain
400 surveys and this goal
was exceeded with a total
of 650 completed surveys.
The overall response for
the sample of 650
completed surveys have a
precision of at least +/-
3.8% at the 95% level of
confidence.

Analysis
Findings Report: Town of Los Gatos Community Survey (2022) ©2022 ETC Institute Page 43
Importance-Satisfaction Analysis
to target resources toward services of the highest importance to residents and
to target resources toward those services where residents are the least satisfied.
Overview
Today, Town officials have limited resources which need to be targeted to services that are of the most benefit to their residents.
Two of the most important criteria for decision making are;
1. 2.
The Importance‐Satisfaction (I-S) rating is a unique tool that allows public officials to better understand both highly important decisionmaking criteria for each of the services they are providing. The Importance‐Satisfaction (I-S) rating is based on the concept that public agencies will maximize overall resident satisfaction by emphasizing improvements in those areas where the level of satisfaction is relatively low, and the perceived importance of the service is relatively high.
The rating is calculated by summing the percentage of responses for items selected as the first, second, and third most important services for the Town to provide. The sum is then multiplied by 1 minus the percentage of respondents who indicated they were positively satisfied with the Town’s performance in the related area (the sum of the ratings of 4 and 5 on a 5‐point scale excluding “don’t know” responses). “don’t know” responses are excluded from the calculation to ensure the satisfaction ratings among service categories are comparable.
I-S Rating = Importance x (1‐Satisfaction)
Example of the Calculation
Respondents were asked to identify major categories of services provided by the Town that they think are most important for the Town to provide. Fifty-two percent (52.0%) of respondents selected the maintenance of Town streets, sidewalks, and infrastructure, as one of the most important major services for the Town to provide.
Findings Report: Town of Los Gatos Community Survey (2022) ©2022 ETC Institute Page 44
Importance-Satisfaction Analysis
(Continued)
Regarding satisfaction, 62.7% of respondents rated the Town’s overall performance regarding the maintenance of Town streets, sidewalks, and infrastructure as a “4” or “5” on a 5‐point scale (where “5” means “very satisfied”) excluding “don’t know” responses.
The I‐S rating for the maintenance of Town streets, sidewalks, and infrastructure, is calculated by multiplying the sum of the most important percentages by one minus the sum of the satisfaction percentages.
If 100% of the respondents were positively satisfied with the delivery of the service
If none (0%) of the respondents selected the service as one for the two or three most important areas for the Town to
emphasize over the next two years.
Definitely Increase Emphasis (IS >= 0.20)
Increase Current Emphasis (0.10 <= IS<0.20)
Maintain Current Emphasis (IS < 0.10)
In this example, 52.0% was multiplied by 37.3% (1‐0.627). This calculation yielded an I‐S rating of 0.1940 which ranked first out of the seven major categories of Town services analyzed.
The maximum rating is 1.00 and would be achieved when 100% of the respondents select an item as one of their top three choices to emphasize over the next two years and 0% indicate they are positively satisfied with the delivery of the service.
The lowest rating is 0.00 and could be achieved under either of the following two situations:
Interpreting the Ratings
Ratings that are greater than or equal to 0.20 identify areas that should receive significantly more emphasis over the next two years.
Ratings from 0.10 to 0.20 identify service areas that should receive increased emphasis. Ratings less than 0.10 should continue to receive the current level of emphasis.

Respondents were asked to identify the items they thought should receive the most emphasis over the next two years.
Satisfaction %: The "Satisfaction" percentage represents the sum of the ratings "4" and "5" excluding 'don't knows.' Respondents ranked their level of satisfaction with the each of the items on a scale of 1 to 5 with "5" being very satisfied and "1" being very dissatisfied.
