ITEM NO. 5.
PAGE 2 OF 4
SUBJECT: Landscape and Lighting Assessment Districts 1 & 2 DATE: May 1, 2025
FISCAL IMPACT:
There are no direct fiscal impacts on the Town's General Fund as a result of administering the Landscape and Lighting Assessment Districts. All of the costs associated with the Districts are recovered via the assessments levied against the property owners within the Districts. There are no proposed increases in any of the parcel assessments for FY 2025/26 that would require a ballot vote under Proposition 218.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES:
The Landscape and Lighting Districts pertain to the Town Council’s Priority of Fiscal Stability.
Specifically, property owners are assessed for the specific benefit they derive from open space and public space near their residence, reducing the General Fund burden for these services.
BACKGROUND:
On April 15, 2025, the Town Council adopted Resolution 2025-11 (Attachment 9) directing the preparation of the Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26 for Landscape and Lighting Assessment Districts No. 1 and 2.
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.
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 the 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
ITEM NO. 5.
PAGE 3 OF 4
SUBJECT: Landscape and Lighting Assessment Districts 1 & 2 DATE: May 1, 2025
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 would maintain the assessments at each of the benefit zones at the current 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 2025/26 Preliminary Engineer’s Report (Attachment 1), Intentions to Levy and Collect Assessments (Attachments 2 through 7), and setting the date and time for the public hearing for June 3, 2025, Town staff will mail a Notice of Intention to Levy Annual Assessments for FY 2025/26 to all property owners, which will include the public hearing date, time, and location.
Persons wishing to protest the levy and collection of assessments may do so by submitting/mailing the protest to the Town Clerk, 110 E. Main Street, Los Gatos, CA 95030; emailing to the Town Clerk - [email protected]; or attending the public hearing. Any written protest must be received by the Town Clerk no later than the public hearing of June 17, 2025, as described above.
Protests must identify the grounds for the protest, the person filing the protest, and the property owned by the person filing the protest.
At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Town staff will transmit the assessment amounts to the County Assessor which will appear as a separate item on the property tax bill for each parcel.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the Town Council adopt the attached resolutions to continue the annual process of renewing the Landscape and Lighting Assessment Districts 1 & 2 for FY 2025/26. If the Town Council approves these actions, staff will mail Notices of Intention to Levy Annual Assessments for FY 2025/26 to all property owners within the districts prior to the public hearing in June.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
This is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 05/06/2025
ITEM NO: 6
DATE: May 1, 2025
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Chris Constantin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Authorize the Town Manager to Execute an Amendment to the Agreement for Services with Brightview Tree Care Services, Inc. to Increase the Compensation for Fiscal Year 2024-25 By $15,000 for a Fiscal Year 2024-25 Annual Amount Not to Exceed $215,000 and a Total Agreement Amount Not to Exceed $1,115,000
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Town Council:
a. Authorize the Town Manager to execute a second amendment to the agreement for services with Brightview Tree Care Services, Inc. to increase the compensation for Fiscal Year 2024-25 by $15,000 for a total annual amount not to exceed $215,000 and a total agreement amount not to exceed $1,115,000 (Attachment 1); b. Authorize a budget transfer of $10,000 from the Annual Unanticipated Repairs Project (CIP 811-9904) to the Streets and Signal Program Budget for emergency work through June 30, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Adopted FY 2024-25 Operating Budget includes funding within the Streets and Signals Program Budget (111-5401-62364) in the amount of $200,000 for tree services. A portion of the increase ($5,000) will be paid out of the Overlook Road Tree Replacement Project (CIP 813- 0244) to pay for the planting of trees that were completed in March 2025. The remaining $10,000 will be funded by the Annual Unanticipated Repairs Project (CIP 811-9904) to cover emergency work, should it be needed between the time of amendment and June 30, 2025. If no emergency work is required, the funding would remain in the Annual Unanticipated Repairs CIP to be used in accordance with the proposed Capital Improvement Program budget.
ITEM NO. 6.
PAGE 2 OF 3
SUBJECT: Authorize the Town Manager to Execute an Amendment to the Agreement for Services with Brightview Tree Care Services, Inc. to Increase Compensation for Fiscal Year 2024-25 by $15,000
DATE: May 1, 2025
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES:
Tree maintenance work supports the Town Council’s Core Goals of Community Character and Public Safety. Specifically, the Town street tree program provides environmental benefits by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reducing the heat island effect. Maintenance of the tree canopy is also critical to public safety by reducing tree failure and thus the loss of trees.
BACKGROUND:
The Town of Los Gatos contracts tree trimming and removal services to maintain the Town’s trees in streets and parks. On June 20, 2023, the Town Council authorized the Town Manager to execute a five-year Agreement for Services with Brightview Tree Care Services, Inc. for tree trimming and maintenance services. The original agreement included $200,000 for year one of the agreement and $200,000 annually thereafter.
On April 16, 2024, the Town Council approved the authorization to execute a first amendment to the agreement for services with Brightview Tree Care Services, Inc. to increase compensation for FY 2023-24 in an amount of $100,000 for a total annual amount not to exceed $300,000 and a total agreement amount not to exceed $1,100,000 and authorized a revenue and expenditure budget adjustment in the amount of $100,000 from the tree replacement deposit account.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed amendment will increase the Brightview Tree Service contract by $15,000 to fund emergency work through the remainder of FY 2024-25, and to pay for the installation of replacement trees along Overlook Road that were installed in March 2025. The FY 2024-25 budget was exceeded through block pruning, maintenance of street trees, and community demand for various services.
As all contract funding for routine tree maintenance was expended by March 31, 2025, staff is proposing the authorization to use up to $10,000 from the Annual Unanticipated Repairs CIP to fund any emergency tree work required through June 30, 2025. If no emergency services are needed, the funding will remain in the Annual Unanticipated Repairs CIP and be allocated in accordance with the Proposed Fiscal Year 2025-2026 through 2029-2030 Capital Improvement Program Budget.
Funding for the replacement of the trees on Overlook Road was provided through a capital improvement project after the Town funded the removal of 18 eucalyptus trees in 2023. That project included $40,000 in funding. Staff reduced the projected cost of the work by purchasing the trees directly from a supplier and limiting the contractor’s work to installation

only. As such, only $5,000 of the allocated budget is proposed for use, with the remaining budget returned to the Tree Fund at the end of the Fiscal Year, This second amendment also modifies the compensation section of the original agreement to clarify the five-year spending plan for this agreement for services.
CONCLUSION:
With the recommended action, the Town Council would authorize the Town Manager to execute the second amendment to the agreement for services with Brightview Tree Care Services to fund emergency work through the remainder of FY 2024-25 and to fund the installation of trees on Overlook Road.
The agreement with Brightview Tree Care covers a five-year term and staff notes that funding for future years is contingent on budget appropriation for Fiscal Year 2025/26 and beyond.

COUNCIL AGENDA
REPORT
MEETING DATE: 05/06/2025
ITEM NO: 8
DATE: April 23, 2025
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Chris Constantin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Approve Resolution Supporting Efforts of Santa Clara County to Provide Universal Childcare
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommend the Town Council consider approval of a Resolution supporting efforts by the County of Santa Clara to provide universal childcare.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES:
The proposed resolution supports the Town Council Core Goals of Civic Engagement. It also supports the Town’s 2025-27 Strategic Priority of ensuring all residents and visitors in maintaining and enhancing the Town as a family-oriented and inclusive community to families with children.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None. The item does not require nor compel allocation of public resources.
BACKGROUND:
Childcare availability and affordability continue to be significant issues nationwide, with pronounced impacts within California and specifically Santa Clara County. According to a report by the Council for a Strong America (2023), the shortage of infant-toddler childcare results in an annual economic loss of approximately $122 billion nationally, translating into a $15 billion loss for California and specifically $3 billion for Santa Clara County.
At the request of the Mayor, this resolution is being presented to the Town Council for approval.
ITEM NO. 8.
PAGE 2 OF 2
SUBJECT: Approve Resolution on Universal Childcare Efforts of the County DATE: April 23, 2025
DISCUSSION:
Supervisor Susan Ellenberg and the Board of Supervisors have been dedicated advocates for universal childcare, championing initiatives aimed at enhancing childcare accessibility and affordability within Santa Clara County. The proposed resolution aligns with these regional efforts and signifies Los Gatos' support in addressing this critical issue.
Through the Supervisor and Board’s efforts and efforts by Working Partnerships, a workplace collaborative, cities in Santa Clara County have been passing resolutions and proclamations supporting the County’s efforts but not committing cities to financial resources. These include the cities of Sunnyvale and Los Altos among others.
This resolution is a statement of conceptual support, signaling Los Gatos' commitment to collaborative regional solutions without imposing fiscal obligations or direct programmatic actions on Town resources at this juncture.
CONCLUSION:
Approving the resolution affirms support for universal childcare efforts by the County of Santa Clara; however, it does not oblige the Town to any further commitment.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
This action does not constitute a "project" under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5) because it involves an administrative activity of government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Specifically, the approval of the resolution does not have the potential for causing significant environmental impacts.

A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF LOS GATOS SUPPORTING
UNIVERSAL CHILDCARE EFFORTS IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY
WHEREAS, the Council for a Strong America issued a report in early 2023 which details that the shortage of infant-toddler childcare costs the United States $122 billion in lost earnings, productivity, and revenue every year; and
WHEREAS, this shortage translates to a $15 billion economic threat to California and a $3 billion threat to Santa Clara County; and
WHEREAS, a family living in Silicon Valley needs to pay an average of $26,450 per child per year for infant care and $21,900 per year for one preschooler's childcare; and WHEREAS, investing in affordable childcare provides vital infrastructure to working parents and supports early childhood development, allows families to remain in a geographic area, creates a stronger economy, improves business productivity and consumer spending, decreases poverty, leads to safer communities, and provides additional revenue for cities; and WHEREAS, investments in the childcare sector should prioritize supporting our most underserved children and their families.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Town Council of the Town of Los Gatos does hereby declare, determine, and order as follows:
1. The Town Council supports efforts to provide childcare to all children and families in the County of Santa Clara and the State of California.
2. This resolution represents conceptual support rather than a fiscal commitment and does not create staff obligations or programmatic requirements.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 05/06/2025
ITEM NO: 9
DATE: April 25, 2025
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Chris Constantin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Fee and Fine Schedules for Fiscal Year 2025-26:
a. Adopt a Resolution Approving the Comprehensive Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2025-26 to Continue Certain Department Fees, Rates, and Charges, and Amending Certain Fees, Rates, and Charges for Fiscal Year 2025-26. b. Adopt a Resolution Approving the Administrative Fine and Penalty Schedule for Fiscal Year 2025-26 to Continue Certain Department Fines and Amending Certain Fines for Fiscal Year 2025-26.
RECOMMENDATION:
Fee and Fine Schedules for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26:
a. Adopt a resolution approving the Comprehensive Fee Schedule for FY 2025-26 to continue certain Department fees, rates, and charges, and amending certain fees, rates, and charges for FY 2025-26.
b. Adopt a resolution approving the Administrative Fine and Penalty Schedule for FY 2025-26 to continue certain department fines and amending certain fines for FY 2025-26.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Town’s financial policies require that fees be maintained to provide for the recovery of costs associated with Town services. If approved by the Town Council, staff will incorporate the selected fee changes into the Town’s FY 2025-26 Operating and Capital Budget based on conservative projections of development activity and other fee-generating services.
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 of providing 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
ITEM NO. 9.
PAGE 2 OF 6
SUBJECT: Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2025-26
DATE: May 6, 2025
taxpayer expense. Staff periodically reviews the cost of providing such services and recommends appropriate fee adjustments when supported by actual cost data.
The Town’s most recent comprehensive cost allocation and selected recommendations from the user fee study were incorporated into the FY 2019-20 Fee Schedule.
DISCUSSION:
A. COMPREHENSIVE FEE SCHEDULE:
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. For FY 2025-26, staff is proposing that fees be adjusted by 2.8% CPI (2024 average of San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose CPI-U 2-month and 12-month percent changes, all items index, not seasonally adjusted).
In addition to the proposed CPI changes, the proposed FY 2025-26 Comprehensive Fee Schedule accounts for modifications to fees , as explained below:
Administrative Services
1. Civic Center Facilities Use – Staff recommends removing the entire section regarding Civic Center Facility Use as this is addressed in the Facilities Use Policy, which does not permit for-profit or private event use of the Town Council Chambers or Town Council Chambers Lobby. The building attendant is no longer applicable either. For non-profit permitted special events that may have permission to use the Town Council Chambers and/or Town Council Chambers Lobby, the terms of the use are articulated within the conditions of approval. Should the conditions require Town Staff to be present, this will be noted prior to the event in order to bill the user following the event at the hourly rate of the staff person who provided the service. For use by entities such as New Museum of Los Gatos (NUMU), the conditions of use are listed within the executed Town’s use agreement.
2. Special Event Fees – The special event application fees, block party permit, use of the Civic Center lawn, use of Town Plaza Park, and street pole banner program have all been increased by CPI. In addition, the hourly employee fees were updated to reflect current billing rates. Staff is also proposing adding a flat rate fee for events with live music either played by a disc jockey, electronic playlist, or performed by musicians in a public setting to offset the cost the Town pays to buy the rights and permissions from music library licensing companies.
3. Credit Card Processing Fee – Proposing a 2.49% fee on all transactions to reflect actual costs to the Town.
ITEM NO. 9.
PAGE 3 OF 6
SUBJECT: Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2025-26
DATE: May 6, 2025
4. Tyler Technologies Online and Credit Card Payment Fees – Proposing including the fees that will be charged to customers when the Town goes live with the new Enterprise Resource Planning software.
Development Services
1. Los Gatos Boulevard Plan – Staff is recommending deleting this fee as Council rescinded the Los Gatos Boulevard Plan in January 2022 with resolution 2022-002.
2. Planning Development Service Fee Updates – Staff conducted an analysis of the last fee study to determine which fees were not selected to be fully recovered as a policy decision to subsidize and support certain development fees within the community. Once those fees were identified, a calculation was completed, based on past CPI increases, to bring 100% recovery for those fees.
3. Engineering Development Service Fee Updates – Staff is recommending updating the engineering fees to ensure cost recovery. The recommended changes in fees are associated with current work processes and procedures using FY 2024-25 billing rates.
The proposed fees were determined using a reasonable and objective estimate of the actual time spent by the responsible staff member(s) for each specific activity and their associated hourly rate. This is a conservative approach to ensure cost recovery and also reflects the standard methodology used to establish fees when done through a thirdparty fee study.
Some fees have only slight increases as compared to the current fee schedule, and some are significantly higher, but all are based on actual time spent on that specific task.
Because of that, some PPW fees are also recommended to decrease, including the fees for processing a Lot Merger (from $4,258 to $3,683). The increases vary from 1.3% (Fee #196 – Development Services – Subdivisions – 5 or more lots) to 171% (Fee #252 – Dumpster Permit). One example of an increased fee is the dumpster permit. The current fee is $179, which does not reflect the actual costs to the Town. The recommended fee is 171% higher, or $486, to allow a more accurate estimated recovery of the Town’s actual cost.
Other fees are completely new for PPW, including several Development Services Fees added to planning service fees to capture the review required by the engineering division. These include but are not limited to new fees for processing projects associated with Two-Unit Developments (Fee #189), Urban Lot Splits (Fee #190), and Condominiums (Fee #200).
4. Engineering Plan Check and Inspection Fee (Public Improvements & Grading Permits) – Staff is recommending a change in the methodology for the fees associated with grading permit plan review and inspection services. The current fee schedule establishes the
ITEM NO. 9.
PAGE 4 OF 6
SUBJECT: Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2025-26
DATE: May 6, 2025
fees based on the valuation of the grading activities. There is no easy way to establish the value or cost associated with a project’s grading activities other than to have the project engineer submit a cost estimate for staff review. These cost estimates tend to vary significantly from developer to developer, which creates unnecessary delays in determining the fees and causes the fees to be inconsistent from project to project.
Setting a fee based on the volume of earth moved is an easier way to determine the fees, provides a methodology that can be applied more consistently from project to project, and is the practice that many other cities and towns use to determine grading plan check and inspection fees.
5. Engineering Pass Through to Consultant – On February 28, 2025, the Town Council approved a modification to the fee schedule that allowed staff to collect fees for the use of consultants to review entitlement and building permit applications for development projects with 10 or more units. Staff is now requesting to replace these previously approved fees with a more complete set of fees to be used for consultant pass-through activities for entitlement, building permit, encroachment, and utility plan reviews. Staff will charge actual costs to the pass-through accounts to cover staff costs associated with consultant oversight and project management.
Police Services
1. Police Report/CAD Incidents – Staff proposes adding a new fee for providing these reports. The department polled nine agencies in Santa Clara County, with varying results of charging flat initial fees ranging from $15.00 - $17.00 for up to a limited number of pages and thereafter $.05 - $.25 per additional page, some agencies only charge $.05 - $.25 per page. Each crime report and call incident record copy and release requires individual review and redaction based on the request and the scope of what the requestor is entitled to.
2. False Alarm Fees – Each alarm call requires a two-sworn officer police response, regardless of the number of alarm calls received from the residence. In addition, processing an alarm call requires Dispatch to initiate a call back to the alarm company and provide a disposition of the alarm incident. Given recent increases in salaries and hourly costs for this service and response, the department recommends this increase to the existing fee.
3. Solicitor’s/Peddler’s Permit – Staff proposes an increase to this fee after department analysis of the actual cost of service.
4. Citation Sign Off – Staff is proposing this increase based on their analysis of surrounding jurisdictions. It was determined a $3.00 increase brought the Town’s fee to the same level as surrounding communities.
ITEM NO. 9.

5. Feral Cat Feeder/Trap Permit—Staff recommends deleting this fee as it is no longer needed. Silicon Valley Animal Control Authority now provides animal control services for the Town.
6. Silicon Valley Animal Control Authority (SVACA) Fees – proposing to include the SVACA license fees for residents to reference.
Parks and Public Works Services
1. Parks Division Fees – This section has been reformatted at the department’s request.
Grouping similar fees makes the structure easier to navigate while maintaining transparency.
2. Equipment Hourly Rates – Deleting paving box, rodder, and street sweeper as they are no longer used and available for rent.
Attachment 1, Exhibit A contains the proposed FY 2025-26 Comprehensive Fee Schedule reflecting all Town fees (including proposed changes). An itemized list of recommended FY 2025-26 fee adjustments, reclassifications, and deletions are reflected in Attachment 2.
B. ADMINISTRATIVE FINE AND PENALTY SCHEDULE:
The Administrative Fine and Penalty Schedule sets forth the administrative penalty amounts for code violations. Attachment 3, Exhibit A contains the proposed FY 2025-26 Administrative Fine and Penalty Schedule reflecting all Town fines (including proposed changes). An itemized list of recommended FY 2025-26 fine adjustments, reclassifications, and deletions are reflected in Attachment 4 and explained below:
Los Gatos California Fire Code
1. Section 2703.13 Requirements for HPM gases – Section 2703.13 remains in our Administrative Fine and Penalty schedule; this action removes a duplicative listing of the fine section.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that the Town Council approve the Comprehensive Fee Schedule (Attachment 1) effective July 5, 2025 and the Administrative Fine and Penalty Schedule (Attachment 3), effective July 1, 2025, and adopt the related resolutions.
COORDINATION:
The preparation of the Fee and Fine Schedules was coordinated with all applicable Town Departments and Offices.
