3. General description

3.1. Application
Pump is suitable for pumping drainage water, effluents
and surface water. The pumps are used for installations in public and private sector, building trades, and industry.

The pumps can convey abrasive medium as surface water. For highly abrasive content, such as concrete-gravel and sand in the medium, it is necessary to protect the impeller and pump housing against excessive abrasion or to shorten the maintenance interval. Before the pumping of chemically aggressive liquids, the resistance of the pump materials must be checked.

The pumps are available in high quality materials of all components (Stainless steel).

The machine must be submerged in pumped liquid at
least up to the top edge of the motor housing.

The temperature of the pumped medium may be up to
104°F or up to 140°F for a short period. The maximum density of the medium is 0.03757 lbs/in³ and the pH may be from 6 – 11.

Stainless steel variants can be used at a pH of 4 - 14.

However, the pH alone only serves as a guideline. Consult factory for assistance with chemically aggressive liquids.

Depending on the composition, it may be necessary to
use special sealing materials.

3.2. Types of use
The motors are designed for continuous operation (S1),
maximum 15 starts per hour. The hydraulic is designed for permanent operation, e.g. supply of industrial water.
the operator make additional measurements under all operating conditions.

Caution: Wear ear protectors!
In accordance with the laws in effect, guidelines,
standards and regulations, ear protection must be
worn if the sound pressure is greater than 85 dB (A)!
The operator is responsible for ensuring that this is
observed!
Mise en garde : Portez des protecteurs auditifs !
Conformément aux lois en vigueur, aux directives,
aux normes et aux règlements, le port de protecteurs
d‘oreilles est obligatoire si la pression acoustique est supérieure à 85 dB (A) ! L‘opérateur est responsable
du respect de cette consigne !

2.9. Pumped fluids
Each pumped fluid differs in regard to composition, corrosiveness, abrasiveness, TS content and many other aspects. Generally, our products can be used for many
applications. For more precise details, see chapter 3, the machine data sheet and the order confirmation. It should be remembered that if the density, viscosity or the general composition change, this can also alter many parameters of the product. Different materials and impeller shapes are required for different pumped fluids. The more exact your specifications on your order, the more exactly we can modify our product to meet your requirements.

If the area of application and/or the pumped fluid change, we will be happy to offer supportive advice.

When switching the product into another pumped fluid,
observe the following points:
• Products which have been operated in sewage or
waste water must be thoroughly cleaned with pure
water or drinking water before use.
• Products which have pumped fluids which are hazardous to health must always be decontaminated before changing to a new fluid. Also clarify whether the product may be used in a different pumped fluid.
• With products which have been operated with a
lubricant or cooling fluid (such as oil), this can escape into the pumped fluid if the mechanical shaft seal is
defective.

Danger - explosive fluids!
It is absolutely prohibited to pump explosive liquids
(e.g. gasoline, kerosene, etc.). The products are not
designed for these liquids!
Danger - fluides explosifs !
Il est absolument interdit de pomper des liquides
explosifs (par exemple, de l‘essence, du kérosène,
etc.). Les produits ne sont pas conçus pour ces liquides !

2.10. Danger due to spark generation
Mechanically generated sparks can ignite flammable gases and condensates. According to EN1127-1 Para.6.4.4, sparks must also be excluded for category 2 in normal
operation. In normal operation no spark generation is possible due to fluid covering (medium covering of the pump hydraulic).

The ingress or suction of foreign bodies (stones, pieces of metal, etc.) through the suction nozzles into the pump hydraulic is not possible in an expected case of malfunction in which the enclosure fails as the pump cannot suck up pumping medium nor its containing solids. In the ventilated shaft, the explosion-protected submersible motor pumps are drained via a drain system with two guide
tubes of galvanized steel, between their guide claws of grey cast iron that guide into the automatic coupling arrangement. The guide velocity, with max 0.1 m/s (10cm/s) is so low that no sparks can be generated even in the
most disadvantaged conditions. In the first installation, the guide claws of the drain arrangement should be lubricated with ball bearing grease in order to suppress heat and spark generation in the most disadvantaged case.

Temperature Sensor
All pumps are equipped with a temperature sensor
assembly in each motor winding.

In standard pumps, the connections for the temperature
sensor are fed via the power cable to the outside and are to be connected in the electric control box using the T1 and T3 power cable endings in such a way that the motor automatically restarts after it has cooled down. Instead of the standard sensor, the explosion-proof versions are equipped with a temperature sensor assembly that has a
higher activation temperature. This is to be connected via the power cable endings T1 and T2 in such a way that after activation, a manual reset in the switchgear is necessary using a special contactor combination The temperature
sensor assembly must be connected in the switching
cabinet so that it switches off when it overheats.

C 140 140
D 150 140
Seal monitoring for non-jacketed pumps:

In case of a leak in the lower shaft seal, water enters the oil chamber and changes the resistance of the oil. The conductivity of the oil is monitored via 2 sensors. The sensors are to be connected via one cable to ground, or 2 cables (consult wiring diagram) from the pump connection cable in the junction box to an evaluation instrument galvanically separated from the probe circuit. The response sensitivity should be adjustable from 0-100 kΩ, the standard setting being 50 kΩ.

3.3.4. Sealing / Seal Housing
Sealing is accomplished by two silicon carbide mechanical seals in a tandem arrangement, acting independently from each other. The seal housing is situated between the motor and the pump housing. It consists of the bearing
housing and the pressure cover, which together form the sealing cavity containing white mineral oil. Oil condition may be monitored using the inspection plug on the bearing housing and optional electronic monitoring.

3.3.5. Volute
The pump may be equipped with a stationary wear ring
which can be found in the intake port.This wear ring determines the gap between the impeller and the intake port. If this gap is too big, the performance of the pump decreases and it can lead to blockages. The rings can be replaced due to wear. Discharge connections for TP30 & TP49 models are 2” Male Metric Straight Thread, an adapter (available as standard) is required to connect to NPT fittings.

TP50 models have both 2 ½” Male Metric Straight Thread, and 2” Female NPT connections.

TP53 & TP70 models have 3” Male Metric Straight Thread
connections, and require an adapter (available as standard) to connect to NPT fittings.

3.3.6 Impeller
M: Enclosed single channel impeller, for liquids containing impurities and sludge with solid particles or long fibres.

V: Vortex impeller, for liquids containing a high level of impurities or fibrous matter and containing gas.

4. Package, Transport, Storage

4.1. Delivery

Page 129 ends

ITEM NO. 5.

ENGLISH | 09

4.3. Storage
Newly supplied products are prepared that they can be
stored for 1 year. The product should be cleaned thoroughly before interim storage.

The following should be taken into consideration for
storage:
• Place the product on a firm surface and secure
it against falling over. Submersible mixers and auxiliary lifting devices should be stored horizontally, submersible sewage pumps and submersible motor
pumps should be stored horizontally or vertically. It
should be ensured that they cannot bend if stored
horizontally.

Falling Hazard!
Never leave the pump unsecured!
Risque de chute !
Ne jamais laisser la pompe sans surveillance !
• The product has to be stored in a place free from
vibrations and agitation to avoid damage to the ball
bearings.
• The device should be stored in a dry place without temperature fluctuation. • The product may not be stored in rooms where
welding work is conducted as the resulting gases and
radiation can damage the elastomer parts and coatings. • Be careful to not remove or damage the corrosion resistant coatings. • Any suction or pressure connections on products
should be closed tightly before storage to prevent impurities. • The power supply cables should be protected
against kinking, damage and moisture.
• The cable will wick water into the pump if it is
not protected properly. Power cable lead should be
covered with shrink tubing or suitable sealing material during storage.

Beware of electrical current!
Damaged power supply cables can cause fatal injury! Defective cables must be replaced by a qualified electrician immediately.

Attention au courant électrique !
Des câbles d’alimentation endommagés peuvent
provoquer des blessures mortelles ! Les câbles défectueux doivent être remplacés immédiatement par un électricien qualifié.

Beware of moisture!
Moisture penetrating cables can damage them and
render them useless. Therefore, never immerse cable ends in the pumped fluid or other liquids.

Attention à l’humidité !
L’humidité qui pénètre dans les câbles peut les endommager et les rendre inutilisables. Par conséquent, ne jamais immerger les extrémités des câbles dans
le fluide pompé ou dans d’autres liquides
• The machine must be protected from direct sunlight, heat, dust, and frost. Heat and frost can cause considerable damage to impellers, rotors and coatings. • The impeller must be turned at monthly intervals.

This prevents the bearing from locking and the film
of lubricant on the mechanical shaft seal is renewed.

This also prevents the gear pinions (if present on the
product) from becoming fixed as they turn and also
renews the lubricating film on the gear pinions (preventing rust film deposits).

Beware of sharp edges!
Sharp edges can form on rotors and impellers.

There is a risk of injuries. Wear protective gloves.

Attention aux bords tranchants !
Les bords tranchants peuvent se former sur les rotors et les turbines. Il y a un risque de blessures. Porter des gants de protection. • If the product has been stored for longer than six
month it should be cleaned of impurities such as dust
and oil deposits before start-up. Rotors and impellers
should be checked for smooth running, housing coating and damage. • After remaining in storage for longer than one
year, it is necessary to change the oil in the seal
chamber. This is necessary even if the pump has never been run, due to natural deterioration of mineral oil.

Before start-up, the filling levels (oil, cooling fluid etc.) of the individual products should be checked and
topped up if required. Please refer to the machine data sheet for specifications on filling. Damaged coatings
should be repaired immediately. Only a coating that
is completely intact fulfils the criteria for intended
usage!
If these rules are observed, your product can be stored for a longer period. Please remember that elastomer parts and coatings become brittle naturally. If the product is to be stored for longer than 6 months, we recommend
checking these parts and replacing them as necessary.

Please consult the manufacturer.

4.4. Returning to the supplier
Products which are delivered to the plant must be clean and correctly packaged. In this context, clean means
that impurities have been removed and decontaminated if it has been used with materials which are hazardous to health. The packaging must protect the product against damage. Please contact the manufacturer before
returning!

5. Installation and initial commissioning

5.1. General
To avoid damage to the lifting unit during installation and operation, the following points must be observed:
• The installation work must be performed by qualified
personnel, in compliance with safety regulations.
• The pump must be inspected for damage prior to installation. • For level controls, pay attention to the minimum water coverage. • Air bubbles in the volute and pipework must be avoided (by suitable ventilation devices or a slight incline of the pump).
• Protect the pump from frost.
• The lifting device must have a maximum load capacity which is greater than the weight of the pump with attachments and cable.
• The power lines of the pump must be laid in such a
way, that a safe operation and easy assembly/disassembly is ensured. • The power lines must be fixed properly in the operating room to prevent the cable from hanging loosely.

Depending on the cable length and weight, a cable
holder must be attached every 2-3 m.
• The foundation/structure must have sufficient
strength for secure and functionally correct fastening
of the pump. The operator is responsible for this.
• Verify low level lockout is functioning.
• Use baffles for the inlet. This prevents air entry into the pumping medium, which can lead to unfavorable
operating conditions and result in increased wear.
• Do not install more than one check valve into any piping system or problems will occur.

3. Anchor bolt holes should be drilled to the actual
diameter of the anchor (M12 anchor requires
12mm diameter hole).

Submerged installation on ring stand
Attach the ring stand (available as an accessory) with
screws to the pump suction nozzle. Mount 90° connection-elbow or connection loop to the dischargeof the pump, and mount discharge line. Gate valves and check
valves may need to be installed in accordance with local regulations. The discharge line must be fitted free of tension, when using a hose, ensure it is laid kink-free. Secure the pump by the handle with a cable or chain, and lower it into the pumping medium. Properly position power cable
and chain so they stay above the pump and cannot enter
the pump suction.

Wet well installation with automatic coupling system
The following instructions apply to the installation of the original HOMA Autocoupling system:
• Determine the approximate position of the position
of the base elbow and the upper pipe bracket for the
guide tubes, using a plumb bob where necessary.
• Check the correct installation dimensions of the
pump(s) (see dimensional drawings in the appendix).
• Drill mounting holes for the guide rail bracket on the inside edge of the shaft opening. If this is not possible due to the space available, the guide rail bracket can also be mounted in an offset position with a 90°
folded plate on the underside of the shaft cover. Provisionally fasten the guide rail bracket with 2 screws. • Align the base elbow to the shaft floor, use a plumb
bob from the pipe bracket - the guide tubes must be
exactly perpendicular! Fasten the base elbow to the
wet well floor using anchor bolts. Ensure that the
base elbow is exactly horizontal! If the wet well floor is uneven, support the bearing surface accordingly.
• Mount the pressure pipes with fittings free of tension according to the usual mounting principles.
• Insert both guide rails into the eyelets on the base
elbow and cut to size according to the position of the
guide rail bracket. Partially unscrew the guide rails
bracket, insert them into the guide rails and fasten
the bracket. The guide rails must be positioned with
no play at all, otherwise vibration will occur during operation of the pump. • Clean the wet well of any solid material (debris,
stones, etc.) before commissioning.
• Mount the guide claw on the pump discharge (thread
or flange connection). Ensure that the rubber profile
gasket is correctly seated in position in the guide claw (as a seal against the coupling base), so that it will not fall out when lowering the pump. See graphic below
• Attach the chain to the pump handle or lifting lugs.

Insert the pump with the guide rails in the guide claw
ears. Lower the pump into the wet well. If the pump
is seated on the base elbow, it automatically seals itself off to the pressure line and is ready for operation. • Hang the end of the retrieval chain from a hook at the wet well opening.
• Hang the motor connection cable of the pump in the
shaft at an appropriate length, with strain relief. Make sure that the cables can not be bent or damaged.

5.3. Use of chains
Chains are used to lower a pump in the operating space
or to pull it out. They are not intended to secure a floating pump. Intended use is as follows:
• Fasten one end of the chain on the handle of the
pump provided for this purpose. If your pump has
two ring bolts as an attachment point, you must use
a double-strand chain. When doing so, the angle of
inclination of the chain strands must be between 0°
and 45°.
• Attach the other end to the lifting device.
• Ensure tension on the chain, and then lift the pump in a slow and controlled manner.
• Gently lower the pump into operating space and lower it gently. • Lower the pump to the operating point and make
sure that the pump has a secure footing or the coupling system is engaged correctly. • Remove the chain from the lifting device and secure it to the safety chain, which is located at the top of the operating room. This ensures that the chain can not
fall into the well and constitute a danger to anyone.

Risk of electrocution!
Improper use of electricity can be fatal! All pumps
with exposed cable ends must be connected by a
qualified electrician.

Risque d’électrocution !
Une mauvaise utilisation de l’électricité peut être fatale ! Toutes les pompes dont les extrémités de câble sont exposées doivent être raccordées par un électricien qualifié.

All electrical work shall be carried out under the supervision of an authorized, licensed electrician. The present state adopted edition of the National Electrical Code as well as all local codes and regulations shall be complied with.

5.6.1 Verification of power supply
Prior to making any electrical connections or applying power to the pump, compare the power supply available at the pump station to the data on the unit‘s nameplate. Confirm that both voltage and phase match between pump and
control panel.

5.6.2 Power lead wiring
Please refer to wiring diagram in the appendix for specific connection details.

The pump must be connected electrically through a motor starter with proper circuit breaker protection in order to validate warranty. Do not splice cables.

5.6.3 Thermal switch wiring
Pumps are equipped with thermal switches embedded
in the stator windings which are normally closed, automatically resetting switches. Switches will open when the internal temperature rises above the design temperature, and will close when the temperature returns to normal.

Thermal switches must be wired to a current regulated
control circuit in accordance with the NEC. Identify thermal switch leads marked T1 and T2 in the power cable.

The resistance across the leads will be 0.5 Ohms. Thermal leads must be connected to the thermal overload relay
located in the control panel. Thermal switch leads must be connected to validate warranty.

Note: All sizes of Class 1, Div. 1 pumps for hazardous
service must have thermal switch leads connected to
a current regulated control circuit in accordance with
NEC.

5.6.4 Seal probe wiring
The mechanical seal leak detector probe utilized in the pump is a conductive probe which is normally open. The
intrusion of water into the seal chamber completes the
electrical circuit. Control panel provisions will sense this circuit closure, and will provide indication or alarm functions depending on the panel design.

Either single or dual wire systems may be provided. Single wire systems utilize one energizing conductor, and the pump casing and neutral lead as the ground or return portion of the circuit. The dual wire systems utilize two separate conductors for each leg of the circuit.

With either system, the seal probe leads must be wired
into a control circuit provided in the control panel. This control circuit must energize the probe with a regulated power source, and sense the closed circuit in event of water intrusion Indication and alarm functions must also be provided in the control circuit. Please see control panel wiring diagram for seal probe connection points.

For Hazardous Area Classification Pumps, leak detector circuit must be in conformance with applicable NEC codes and regulations.

Pour les pompes classées en zone dangereuse, le
circuit du détecteur de fuites doit être conforme aux
codes et réglementations NEC applicables.

5.6.5 Start / Run Capacitors and Relays
All single phase motors require start and run capacitors along with a start relay to operate. Capacitors and relays must be sized for the specific motor. Capacitors are sized based on ideal conditions. The run capacitor may need to be resized to match the available field voltage. Each cap kit shipped is supplied with a wiring diagram and start up procedure.

5.6.6 Single Phase Pump Start-Up Procedure
Run Capacitor sizing can vary depending on the incoming supply voltage provided. HOMA Single Phase pumps are
provided with Start and Run Capacitor(s) sized for 220- 230V under load. Frequently, the available line voltage is considerable different than indicated, and the Run capacitor(s) may need to be resized to match the available field voltage. The following procedure will allow you to verify proper operation of your single phase pump, and/or make necessary changes to you capacitors to correct for your power supply. After verifying wiring is in accordance with your pump requirements, start pump and record the following readings from each of the (3) pump cable leads.

Current under load:

U1________Amps>U2________Amps>Z2_______Amps
Should be (highest rating) (middle rating) (lowest rating) Lead U1 (common) should have the highest current reading. Lead Z2 (start) should have the lowest reading.

If Z2 current draw is greater than the current draw of either U1 or U2, a smaller size Run capacitor (lower microfarad rating) is required to correct the condition. Example:

If a 60 µf Run capacitor was supplied, change to a 50 µf Run capacitor and check current readings. Typically, only one step down in capacitor size is required, but in certain instances 2 steps may be required.
( ) The standard capacitor kit provided includes:
__µf start capacitor
__µf run capacitor.
( ) Additional run capacitors have been included for use in tuning the pump to match available line voltages for optimum performance. __µf run capacitor
__µf run capacitor
__µf run capacitor

This form is provided for your use in optimizing the performance and service life of your single phase pumps, and is applicable to most Capacitor Start/Capacitor Run motors.

Please contact our customer service with any questions
or if you require any additional information or assistance.

5.7. Direction of rotation
Rotation Direction Check
All pumps have the proper rotation direction when connected to a clockwise field of rotation (U, V, W -> L1, L2, L3). If the pump rotation is backwards, swap two leads
and reconnect. For smaller pumps, the check can be done by observing the pump’s movement while starting. To do
this, set the pump lightly on the ground in a perpendicular fashion and switch it on briefly. When observing from above, the pump itself moves slightly in a counter-clockwise direction when rotating in the right direction.

The correct direction of rotation of the pump is achieved once the pump moves counter-clockwise, since when
viewed from above, the motor starts in a clockwise direction.

For large pumps, the direction can also be determined by looking through the pump discharge into the volute. Briefly run the motor in order to verify it is running clockwise.

Caution – Rotating Impeller!
Do not touch the rotating impeller or reach into the
volute through the pressure outlets!
Never reach into the volute or touch any rotating
parts during operation. Switch the machine off and
wait until all rotating parts have come to a stop prior to carrying out maintenance and repair work!
Attention - Turbine en rotation !
Ne pas toucher la turbine en rotation ni pénétrer
dans la volute par les orifices de pression !
Ne jamais mettre la main dans la volute ou toucher
les pièces en rotation pendant le fonctionnement.

Mettre la machine hors tension et attendre l’arrêt de
toutes les pièces en rotation avant d’effectuer des
travaux d’entretien et de réparation !
It is also possible to check the direction of rotation with a “motor and phase rotation indicator”. This measurement
device is held from the outside up to the motor housing of the switched-on pump and displays the direction of rotation via an LED.

5.8. Motor protection
The minimum requirement is a thermal relay/motor protection circuit breaker with temperature compensation, differential triggering, and reclosing lock in accordance with VDE 0660 or similar national regulations. If the equipment is connected to power grids where problems often occur, we recommend the additional use of protective
devices (e.g. overvoltage protection or under voltage protection or phase failure relays, lightning protection, etc.).

When connecting the machine, the local and legal requirements must be adhered to.

5.9. Variable Frequency Drives
Special considerations must be taken when operating
pumps with variable frequency drives (inverters). The inverter circuit design, horsepower required by pump, motor cooling system, power cable length, operating voltage, and anticipated turndown ratio must be fully evaluated
during the design stage of the installation.

As a minimum, properly sized load reactors and filters
must be installed between the inverter and the pump
to protect the pump motor from damaging voltage
spikes.

Warranty coverage will not be provided on any pump motor that is operated with a variable frequency drive, unless the load side of the inverter is properly isolated from the pump.

5.10. Types of startups
Types of startup using with cables with exposed ends
Direct start up
At full load, the motor protection circuit breaker should be set to the rated current. In partial load operation it is recommended to set the motor protection circuit breaker 5% above the measured current at the operating point.

Soft start
At full load, the motor protection should be set to the rated current. In partial load operation, it is recommended to set the motor protection 5% above the measured current
at the operating point. The starting time must be max. 5s.

The starting voltage is to be set at 40% of the rated voltage according to the rating plate.

Start up with HOMA GO switch
Plug the connector into the socket provided and press the on/off switch on the GO switch.

5.10.1. After start up
The nominal current is briefly exceeded on start-up. After starup, the operating current should not exceed the nominal current. If the motor does not start immediately after switching on, it must be shut down immediately. The applicable startup procedures must be adhered to before turning on again. If there is a new fault, the machine must again be shut down immediately. The machine may only
be started up again after troubleshooting. The following items should be checked:
• Current consumption (permissible deviation between
phases max. 5%)
• Voltage difference between the individual phases
(max. 1%)
• Switching frequency and pauses (see Technical Data)
• Air entry at the inlet - if necessary, a baffle plate must be attached
• Minimum water coverage, level control, dry run protection • Smooth running
• Check for leaks: if necessary, take the necessary
steps according to the chapter “Maintenance”

6. Maintenance

6.1. General
The machine and the entire system must be inspected
and maintained at regular intervals. The time limit for maintenance is set by the manufacturer and applies to
the general conditions of use. The manufacturer should
be consulted if the system is to be used with corrosive and/or abrasive pumped liquids, as the time limit between inspections may need to be reduced.

Note the following information:
• The operating and maintenance manual must be
available to the maintenance personnel and its instructions followed. Only the repair and maintenance measures listed here may be performed.
• All maintenance, inspection and cleaning work on the
machine and the system may only be carried out by
trained specialists exercising extreme care in a safe
workplace. Proper protective clothing is to be worn.

The machine must be disconnected from the electricity supply before any work is carried out. There must be no way that it can be inadvertently switched on.
• Above a weight of 100lbs, only hoisting gear which
has been officially approved and which is in a technically perfect condition should be used for lowering and raising the machine.

Make sure that all fastening devices, ropes and safety devices are in a technically perfect condition. Work may only commence if the auxiliary hoisting gear has
been checked and found to be in perfect working order.

If it is not inspected, danger to personnel may result! • Wiring work on the machine and system must be
carried out by an electrician. For machines approved
for work in areas subject to explosion danger, please
refer to the “Explosion protection in accordance with
the regulation” chapter.
• When working with inflammable solvents and cleaning agents, fires, unshielded lighting and smoking are prohibited.
• Machines which circulate fluids hazardous to health,
or which come into contact with them, must be decontaminated. It must be ensured that no dangerous gases can form or are present.
• Ensure that all necessary tools and materials are
available. Tidiness and cleanliness guarantee safe and
problem-free operation of the machine. After working on the machine all cleaning materials and tools should be removed from it. All materials and tools
should be stored in an appropriate place.
• Operating supplies such as oil and lubricants must
be collected in appropriate vessels and properly disposed. Appropriate protective clothing is to be worn for cleaning and maintenance jobs.

Only lubricants expressly recommended by the
manufacturer may be used. Oils and lubricants should
not be mixed. Only use genuine parts made by the
manufacturer.

A trial run or functional test of the machine must be
performed as instructed in the general operating conditions.

Oil type: white mineral oil. Used oil is to be disposed accordingly.

When using white mineral oil, note the following:
• Machines which have previously been operated using other lubricants must first be thoroughly cleaned before they can be operated using white mineral oil.

6.2. Maintenance intervals
Before initial start-up or after a longer period of
storage:
• Check insulation resistance
• Check oil level in seal chamber
• Check that impeller rotates freely by hand
Monthly:
• Monitor the amperage and voltage
• Check the used relays for proper operation
Every six months:
• Visual inspection of the power supply cable
• Visual inspection of the cable holder and the cable
bracing
• Visual inspection of accessories, e.g. the suspension device and hoisting gears
8,000 operating hours or after two years, whichever
is earlier:
• Check the insulation resistance
• Check the lubricant in the seal chamber
• Functional inspection of all safety and control devices 15,000 operating hours or after five years, whichever
is earlier:
• General overhaul
If it is used in highly abrasive or corrosive material, the maintenance intervals should be reduced!

6.3. Maintenance tasks
Monitoring the current consumption and voltage
The current consumption and voltage is to be monitored
periodically for all winding phases. This remains constant during normal operation. Slight fluctuations are a result of the composition of the pumped fluid. The current consumption can assist in early detection and correction of damage and/ or faulty operation in the impeller/propeller, bearings and/or the motor. More extensive resulting damage can thus be largely prevented and the risk of a total failure can be reduced.

ITEM NO. 5.
16 | ENGLISH
Checking the used relays for posistors, oil chamber
monitors, etc.

Check the relays used are functioning fault-free. Defective devices must be immediately replaced, because these
cannot ensure safe operation of the machine. The test procedure details should be followed closely (in the operating instructions for each relay).

Checking the insulation resistance
To check the insulation resistance, the power supply cable must be disconnected. The resistance can then be measured with an insulation tester (measuring voltage = 1000V DC).

The following values may not be exceeded:
• The insulation resistance may not be below 20 MΩ
during initial operation. For all further measurements
the value must be greater than 2 MΩ.
• Insulation resistance too low: Moisture may have
penetrated the cable and/or the motor.

Do not connect the machine, consult manufacturer!
Visual inspection of power supply cables
The power supply line must be examined for bubbles,
cracks, scratches, chafed areas and/or crushed sections.

If damage is found, the power cable must be exchanged
immediately.

The cables may only be changed by the manufacturer or an authorized/certified service workshop. The machine may not be used again until the damage has
been adequately rectified.

Visual examination of the cable holders (carabiners)
and the cable bracing
When the machine is used in basins or pits, the lifting cables/cable holders (carabiners) and the cable bracing are subject to constant wear. Regular inspections are necessary in order to prevent the lifting cables/cable holders (carabiners) and/or cable bracing from wearing out and to prevent the electricity cable from being damaged.

The lifting cables/cable holders (carabiners) and the
cable bracing are to be immediately replaced if any
signs of wear appear.

Visual inspection of accessories
Inspect accessories such as suspension units and hoisting gear to check whether they are secured in a stable manner. Loose and/or defective accessories should be repaired immediately or replaced.

Oil Level check in Seal Chamber
Visual Inspection of Oil Chamber:

Oil Level
Please take the precise filling quantity from the spare parts list or contact the manufacturer with the pump serial number.

Oil Condition
The condition of the mechanical seals can be visually inspected as follows: Put the pump in horizontal position, so that the oil chamber drain plug is on top. Remove the drain plug and take out a small quantity of oil. The oil becomes greyish white like milk if it contains water.

This may be the result of defective shaft seals. In this case the condition of the shaft seals should be checked by a HOMA Service shop. Oil type: Mineral Oil.

Used oil has to be disposed according to the existing environmental rules and regulations.

Functional inspection of safety and control devices
Monitoring devices are temperature sensors in the motor, oil chamber monitors, motor protection relays, overvoltage relays, etc.

Motor protection and overvoltage relays and other trip
elements can generally be triggered manually for test
purposes. To inspect the oil chamber monitor or the temperature sensor, the machine must be cooled to ambient temperature and the electrical supply cable of the monitoring device in the switch cabinet must be disconnected.

The monitoring device is then tested with an ohmmeter.

The following values should be measured:

Bi-metal sensor: Value = “0” - throughput
PTC sensor: A PTC sensor has a cold resistance of between 20 and 100 Ω. For 3 sensors in series this would result in a value of between 60 and 300 Ω.

PT 100 sensor: PT 100 sensors have a value of 100ohms
at 0°C. Between 32°F and 212°F this value increases by

0.214 Ω per 1°F. PT 20 sensors have a value of 107.7 Ω at 68°C.

Moisture sensor: This value must approach infinity. If
there is a low value, there may be water in the oil.

Also observe the instructions of the optionally available evaluation relay.

In the case of larger deviations, please consult the
manufacturer.

Please consult the appropriate operating manual for details on inspecting the safety and monitoring devices on the auxiliary lifting gear.

General overhaul
During this the bearings, shaft seals, O rings and power supply cables are inspected and replaced as required in addition to normal maintenance work. This work may only be conducted by the manufacturer or an authorized service workshop.

Changing the oil
The drained oil must be checked for dirt and water content. If the oil is very dirty and shows water intrusion, it must be changed again after four weeks. If there is again water in the oil then, it seems likely that a seal is defective. In this case, please consult the manufacturer. If an oil chamber or leakage monitoring system is being used, the display will light up again within four weeks of changing the oil if a seal is defective.

The general procedure for changing oil is as follows:

Switch off the machine, let it cool down, disconnect it from the power supply (have this done by an electrician), lock out tag out the control panel, clean it and place it vertically on a solid base. Warm or hot oil may be pressurized. The leaking oil may cause burns. For
that reason, let the machine cool down to ambient
temperature before you touch it.

6.4. Sealing chamber
As there are several versions and designs of these motors, the exact location of the screw plugs varies depending on the pump unit used. • Slowly and carefully remove the filling plug from the seal room.

Caution: The oil may be pressurized!
• Remove the drain plug. Drain the oil and collect it in a suitable reservoir. Clean the drain plug, fit with a
new sealing ring and screw it in again. For complete
drainage, the machine must be slightly tipped on to
its side.

Make sure that the pump is on its side and secure!
• Fill lubricant by means of the opening in the filling plug. Comply with the specified lubricants and filling
quantities.
• Clean the filling plug, fit with a new sealing ring and screw it in again.

7. Repairs

7.1. General
When carrying out repair work, the following information should always be noted:
• Round sealing rings as well as existing seals should
always be replaced.
• Screw fixings such as spring washers should always
be replaced.
• The correct torques must be observed.

In general, the following applies to repairs:

Switch off the machine, disconnect it from the power supply (have this done by an electrician), clean it and place it on a solid base in a horizontal position.

Secure it from falling over and/or slipping.

En général, les dispositions suivantes s‘appliquent
aux réparations :

7.2. Changing the impeller and volute
Changing the impeller and the volute.
• Loosen and remove the screws holding the volute to
the oil chamber.
• Secure and remove the volute from the oil chamber
with suitable equipment, e.g. hoisting gear. Place on
a secure base.
• Fasten the impeller with suitable equipment, loosen
and remove the impeller fastening (cylindrical screw
with socket hex).

Pay attention to the locking screw!
• Remove the impeller from the shaft using a suitable
extractor.
• Clean the shaft
• Attach a new impeller to the shaft.

Make sure that the sliding surfaces do not become
damaged!
• Screw a new impeller bolt and clamping disk back
onto the shaft. Fasten the impeller and tighten the
impeller bolt. See table below for toque values.
• Place the motor assembly with impeller back onto
the volute and fasten it with screws.
• It must be possible to turn the impeller by hand.

Impeller Bolt Size Torque
10mm 35 Nm / 26 ft lb
12mm 61 Nm / 45 ft lb
16mm 146 Nm / 108 ft lb
20mm 285 Nm / 210 ft lb
Changing wear ring
The stationary and rotating wear rings determine the gap between the impeller (rotating wear ring) and the suction port (stationary wear ring). If this gap is too big, the performance of the machine decreases, and/or it can lead to ragging or clogging. If the stationary ring shows signs of wear, it should be replaced. This minimizes wear on the suction port and and impeller, consequently reducing expense for spare parts.

Only OEM Parts may be used for replacement!

8. Shutdown

8.1. Temporary shutdown
For this type of shutdown, the machine remains installed and is not cut off from the electricity supply. For temporary shutdown, the machine must remain completely submerged so that it is protected from frost and ice. Make sure the wet well and the pumped fluid cannot be covered by ice. This ensures that the machine is always ready for operation. Carry out a monthly start-up and run the pump in operating conditions for 5 minutes.

Caution!
Only test the pump under the proper conditions of operation and use. Never run the machine dry. This can result in irreparable damage!
Mise en guarde !
Ne tester la pompe que dans les conditions de
fonctionnement et d’utilisation appropriées. Ne jamais faire fonctionner la machine à sec. Cela peut entraîner des dommages irréparables !

8.2. Final shutdown / storage
Switch off the system, disconnect the machine from the
electricity supply and dismantle and store it. Note the following information concerning storage:

Beware of hot parts!
When removing the machine, be careful of the temperature of the housing components. These can heat up to well above 104°F. Let the machine cool down to
ambient temperature before you touch it.

Attention aux composants chauds !
Lors du démontage de la machine, faire attention
à la température des composants du boîtier. Ces
appareils peuvent atteindre une température bien
supérieure à 40°C. Laisser la machine refroidir à la
température ambiante avant de la toucher
• Clean the machine.
• Store it in a clean, dry place, protect the machine
against frost.
• Place it down vertically onto a firm foundation and secure it against falling. • Support the cable at the cable entry assembly to help avoid a permanent deformation.
• Protect the ends of the electric power cable from
moisture.
• Protect the machine from direct sunshine as a preventive measure against brittleness in elastomer parts and the impeller and casing coating.
• When storing the machine in a shop please remember: Radiation and gases which occur during electric welding destroy the elastomers of the seals.
• During lengthy periods of storage, regularly (for example every six months) turn the impeller or propeller by hand. This prevents indentations in the bearings
and stops the rotor from rusting up.

8.3. Restarting after an extended period of storage
Before restarting the pump, it should be completely recommissioned. Clean it of dust and oil deposits, then carry out the necessary maintenance actions (see “Maintenance”). Check that the mechanical shaft seal is in good order and working properly. Once this work has been
completed, the machine can be installed (see “Installation”) and connected to the electricity supply by a specialist. See “Start-up” for instructions on restarting.

Only restart the machine if it is in perfect condition and ready for operation.

9. Troubleshooting
In order to prevent damage or serious injury while repairing machine faults, the following points must be observed:
• Only attempt to repair a fault if you have qualified personnel. This means each job must be carried out by trained specialist personnel, for example electrical work must be performed by a trained electrician. • Always secure the machine against an accidental restart by disconnecting it from the electric system. Lock out, tag out, and take appropriate safety precautions.
• Always have a second person make sure the machine is switched off in an emergency. • Secure moving parts to prevent injury.
• Independent work on the machine is at one‘s own risk and releases the manufacturer from any warranty obligation.

Afin d‘éviter tout dommage ou blessure grave lors de la réparation de la machine, les points suivants doivent être respectés :
• Ne tentez de réparer une défectuosité que si vous disposez d‘un personnel qualifié. Cela signifie que chaque travail doit être effectué par un personnel spécialisé formé, par exemple, les travaux d’électricité doivent être effectués par un électricien qualifié.
• Toujours sécuriser la machine contre un redémarrage accidentel en la déconnectant du système électrique. Verrouillez, étiquetez et prenez les mesures de sécurité appropriées. • Demandez toujours à une deuxième personne de s’assurer que la machine est éteinte en cas d’urgence. • Attachez les pièces mobiles pour éviter les blessures. • Toute intervention indépendante sur la machine se fait à ses propres risques et libère le fabricant de toute obligation au titre de la garantie.

A. Property Owner owns that certain real property located in the Town of Los Gatos, Santa Clara County, California, more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein and commonly known as “Solana.”
B. Property Owner sought approval under Resolution No. _______________ for the development of 155 residential condominiums, 129 market-rate for sale residential condominiums, and 26 affordable for sale residential condominiums (the “Project”).

C. As a condition of Project approval, the Town has required Property Owner to construct certain improvements, namely the landscaping, irrigation, street furniture (such as benches), and multi-use path, within that portion of the Project described in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein (the “Pathway Improvements”), which Pathway Improvements have been approved by the Town for the benefit of this Project as well as other property owners in accordance with Condition 58e and the Tentative Map approval dated January 29, 2025.

D. Pursuant to Condition 58e and the Tentative Map, Property Owner will be installing Pathway Improvements for the benefit of the occupants of the Project and for the benefit of the public.

NOW, THEREFORE, Property Owner enters into this Agreement with the Town. The Property Owner, its successors and assigns, shall have the right and obligation to maintain the private improvements being constructed pursuant to the Tentative Map and Condition 58e in the Project, limited to the landscaping, irrigation, street furniture (such as benches), and multi-use path, depicted on Exhibit B attached hereto and referred to as the Pathway Improvements.

The Property Owner shall be solely responsible for maintaining the Pathway Improvements in a good and safe manner as the Town determines, provided that if the Town or any person acting under the authority of a party damages any Pathway Improvement, the responsible party shall pay all costs to repair or replace the damaged Pathway Improvement to the same or better condition as before the damage occurred. Property Owner shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Town, its officers, officials, agents, volunteers, employees and attorneys from any and all claims, actions, losses, liabilities and costs (including reasonably incurred attorney’s fees) arising out of or connected with, or alleged to arise out of or be connected with, the installation, design or condition of the Pathway Improvements, except for any claims, actions, losses, liabilities and costs proximately caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Town, its officers, officials, agents, volunteers, employees or attorneys. This provision is intended to be the dispositive of all rights of indemnity and contribution between the parties regarding the installation, design or condition of the Pathway Improvements, and Property Owner waives and releases any and all rights to indemnity or contribution from the Town, in law or equity, arising out of or connected with any and all claims, actions, losses, liabilities and costs (including reasonably incurred attorney’s fees) to the extent Property Owner is obligated under this paragraph to provide indemnity or defense to the Town, its officers, officials, volunteers, employees or attorneys.

ITEM NO: 6
DATE: March 17, 2026
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Chris Constantin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Approve the 2026 Community Health and Senior Services (CHSSC) Work Plan
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the 2026 CHSSC work plan.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is an approximately $30-$50 registration cost for the CHSSC to participate in the 55+ Resource Fair hosted by Los Gatos Saratoga Recreation. This cost will be covered by the Town Manager’s Office budget and no budget adjustment is needed at this time.

STRATEGIC PRIORITY:

This item pertains to the following Strategic Priority: Continue to engage community service providers to meet the needs of older adults. (Goal: Civic Engagement). It also pertains to the Core Goal of Good Governance.

BACKGROUND:

In order to provide Town Commissions/Committees/Boards (Commissions) clarity from the Town Council regarding their work, staff recommends the Town Council review and approve each Commission’s work plan for the year. This will ensure Council support, efficient use of Commissioners’ time, and sufficient staff resources for the Commission’s projects in 2026.

Certain Commissions are exempt from this process due to their specific functions. The exempt Commissions have items presented to them for consideration rather than the Commissions creating their own work plans.

SUBJECT: CHSSC Work Plan
DATE: March 17, 2026
These exempt Commissions include the Planning Commission, General Plan Committee, Historic Preservation Committee, and Personnel Board.

DISCUSSION:

Work plans are drafted by the Commission’s staff liaison, taking workload, time commitment, and alignment with Council priorities into consideration. The draft work plans are then reviewed by the Commission.

The CHSSC 2026 Work Plan was discussed by the Commission on January 22, 2026, and February 26, 2026. At the February meeting, the Commission discussed and recommended the following edits to the draft 2026 CHSSC work plan:
 Label work plan categories to align with the original Senior Services Roadmap goal areas, with the ability to add a note to relabel Goal 7 as Collaboration and Coordination.  Under Goal 1: Appealing and Inviting Facility, add:
o Discuss ways to maintain the existing Adult Recreation Center (ARC) as a warm and inviting facility.
o Continue to stay informed on the Los Gatos Thrives Foundation.  Pull out Community Health items into their own section.  Adding social media resources under the Communication and Engagement item ii.

With those changes, the Commission unanimously recommended the work plan for Council approval. Staff is amenable to the changes requested by the CHSSC and have incorporated them in the proposed work plan, along with minor clarifying edits (Attachment 1).

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends the Council approve the 2026 work plan as recommended by the Town’s Community Health and Senior Services Commission in Attachment 1. The addition of more items to this work plan would impact staff capacity and is not recommended for the 2026 calendar year.

TOWN OF LOS GATOS

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 03/17/2026
ITEM NO: 7
DATE: March 17, 2026
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Chris Constantin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Confirming Action Only Minutes and Modifying the Minute Format
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution confirming the use of action-only minutes and modifying the current practice for public comment documentation.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Adopting the proposed resolution is expected to reduce staff time required for preparation and management review of meeting minutes and allow for a more efficient allocation of Town resources. However, there would be no direct budgetary cost associated, as the hours of work saved would be reprioritized to other tasks, improving productivity.

STRATEGIC PRIORITY:

This item does not directly address a Strategic Priority; however, it aligns with the Core Goal of Good Governance.

BACKGROUND:

Council has periodically reviewed the Town’s meeting minute format, including in 2001, 2007, 2013, and 2022. Prior direction in 2001 established the use of “action-only” minutes and formalized this action by adopting Resolution 2001-104, which directed the use of “action-only” minutes with brief summaries of speakers’ comments during public hearing items only. Over time, current practice expanded to include summaries of all public comments and discussions, exceeding the original intent.

On March 3, 2026, the Town Council discussed the minute format and unanimously voted to reaffirm the use of action-only minutes and to direct staff to modify the current format.

Page 170 ends

ITEM NO. 7.

PAGE 2 OF 2
SUBJECT: Recommendation Regarding Meeting Minutes Format DATE: March 3, 2026
DISCUSSION:

To formalize the Town Council’s direction, staff has prepared a draft resolution (Attachment 1).

The proposed resolution would rescind Resolution 2001-104 and reconfirm the use of actiononly minutes for all Town meetings, ensuring that the official record focuses on formal actions, votes, and Council direction. It would also clarify that for all Town meetings, public comments are to be documented by identifying speakers only, without summarizing their remarks, consistent with Council’s direction at the March 3, 2026, meeting.

Additionally, the resolution includes the Council’s direction that minutes for Council and Planning Commission meetings will include meeting video time stamps for action item motions to provide a clear reference to the video. It is also noted that for non-action meetings, such as study sessions, the Council may direct staff to use an additional format, including summary minutes, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), or verbatim records. This approach provides the Council with flexibility to require a more detailed record while still maintaining consistency and the overall efficiency, clarity, and transparency of the Town’s minute practices.

By adopting this resolution, the Town will maintain transparency through publicly available recordings, reduce staff time spent preparing and reviewing minutes, and provide a consistent, efficient record of all Town actions. Council would retain discretion to direct more detailed or verbatim minutes for specific meetings or agenda items when necessary.

CONCLUSION:

Adopting the draft resolution will rescind Resolution 2001-104 and memorialize the Town Council’s March 3, 2026, direction regarding the Town’s meeting minute format.

COORDINATION:

This recommendation was discussed by the Council Policy Committee in coordination with the Town Manager’s Office and the Town Attorney.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:

This is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.

TOWN OF LOS GATOS

FINANCE COMMISSION REPORT
MEETING DATE: 03/09/2026
ITEM NO: 6
DATE: March 9, 2025
TO: Finance Commission
FROM: Chris Constantin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Review and Input on a Comprehensive Framework and Workplan for the Town’s Multi-Year Capital Improvement Program
RECOMMENDATION:

Receive a report on the workplan to develop a multi-year Capital Improvement Program that identifies current and future capital needs, determines the funding levels required to support those needs, and provides a comprehensive approach to capital planning.

Provide input on the workplan and elements of the Capital Improvement Program.

BACKGROUND:

The Town Council of Los Gatos annually adopts a Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) as part of the budget process. The adopted Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 – 2029-30 CIP identifies projects valued at $25,000 or more with a minimum useful life of five years. The current fiveyear CIP totals approximately $40.1 million over the planning horizon. Only the first year of the program is formally appropriated, with years two through five serving as planning estimates subject to available resources.

The CIP is organized into three primary program areas: Streets; Parks and Trails; and Public Facilities. As discussed later in this staff report, the Town will be adding overarching categories along with other elements to the CIP in the upcoming and future years to align with the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), best practices for multi-year capital planning.

For FY 2025-26, approximately 88 percent of total capital funding is allocated to the Streets Program, reflecting a Council priority to maintain core infrastructure. Of the Streets Program funding, 28% is allocated to stormwater projects from sources that are 100% restricted to stormwater related projects; and 21 percent (21%) is allocated to the Annual Street Repair and ATTACHMENT 1 Page 176
ITEM NO. 8.

PAGE 2 OF 9
SUBJECT: Receive a Report Regarding Capital Improvement Program Planning DATE: March 9, 2026
Resurfacing Project and the Annual Curb Gutter Sidewalk Project with 68% of the funding for these annual street projects coming from sources that are restricted for use on roadways only. Of the 32% of funding for that comes to the Annual Street Repair and Resurfacing Project and the Annual Curb Gutter Sidewalk Project from GFAR, the sources are 2010 Measure B funds, 2016 Measure B funds, and an impact fee paid by the Town’s waste hauling contractor.

In other words, there is no funding in these projects that is from the general fund or that can be rededicated to non-roadway work.

The CIP further acknowledges that the Town continues to face challenges in securing reliable ongoing revenue for capital improvements, and that a significant portion of the five-year program relies on one-time funding sources such as the General Fund Appropriated Reserve (GFAR), grants, and other special funds.

Project planning for the CIP has historically been based on needs identified by staff without a transparent method for defining project priorities. Three years ago, staff identified the need to develop a more comprehensive approach to CIP planning and began to develop a comprehensive list of projects for streets and parks based on known needs and on planning documents that were adopted by Town Council (e.g., General Plan 2040, the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, Pavement Maintenance Program, Stormwater Needs Assessment, Facilities Condition Assessments, ADA Transition Plan, and Local Road Safety Plan). Staff also developed a consolidated list of building needs from preliminary condition assessments that were completed in 2022. These actions are a rudimentary start to what will become a robust asset management and capital planning process.

In 2014, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published its ISO 5500X series to provide guidance for developing and implementing asset management programs across various industries. The American Public Works Association and other related international organizations, such as the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia (IPWEA), have also published guidance specifically related to asset management for public infrastructure. Recent studies and guidance documents from both organizations date to the late 2010’s or early 2020’s. These best practices will inform the improvements to the CIP planning process, with the CIP based on best practices as recommended by the GFOA.

Subcategories Streets; Parks and Trails; and Public Facilities and Software In alignment with best practice number eight in Table 2, the Parks and Public Works department is developing an asset management program for the Town of Los Gatos that will provide for more effective management of existing assets and associated costs, define preventive maintenance requirements versus capital needs, and provide cost projections for maintenance and capital work for existing assets. The Parks and Public Works Department has rearranged its staffing model to dedicate a staff member to asset management for approximately 60% of their time. A detailed implementation framework for developing the asset management program is in development.

SUBJECT: Receive a Report Regarding Capital Improvement Program Planning DATE: March 9, 2026
The general framework for this work will be as follows:

1. Define asset classes to be managed;

2. Set service levels for each asset (based on usage, warranty periods, and regulatory standards);

3. Collect asset data (Type of asset, geolocation, construction year, current condition, and replacement cost);

4. Define the risk level associated with the failure of each asset class;

5. Document required preventive maintenance measures, including the expected service life and operational expectations (e.g., key performance indicators) for each asset or asset class. This includes determining what is mandatory vs non-mandatory (can be deferred with limited risk) and defining subcategories of maintenance:
a. Corrective Maintenance. Repairs to restore function after a failure. b. Predictive Maintenance. Using data analysis to predict and prevent failures. c. Preventive Maintenance. Finding and fixing small issues before they’re allowed to get worse.
d. Deferred Maintenance. Postponing maintenance activities due to budget or resource constraints. Learn more in this guide.
e. Condition-Based Maintenance. Performing maintenance based on the actual condition of equipment, not on a set schedule.
f. Emergency Maintenance. Unplanned repairs in response to urgent issues.

6. Develop a capital improvement strategy for existing assets;

7. Develop cost projections for each asset; and

8. Operationalize an Asset Management Plan.

The Town has used a work order management system for public works since the early 2000’s.

Some asset classes are fully built out in that system, while others are either partially defined or not defined at all. Vehicles, benches, and storm drainage assets are currently the most complete.

Examples of asset classes that will be incorporated (Step 1 in the above outline of steps) in the asset management system are shown in Table 4. This list will continue to be built out by staff as the asset management system is developed and may not currently represent all of the asset classes owned by the Town.

Staff will develop a priority order for the build-out of assets in the system and expect the task of data collection for all assets to require three to four years. Consideration will be given to consulting services and/or technology solutions (e.g., artificial intelligence, vehicle mounted cameras, etc.) to accelerate this work. Town vehicles and generators are generally already in the asset management system and so will be prioritized in spring and summer 2026. Buildings, facilities, and associated assets will be the second set of data developed in the asset management system.

As the asset management system is built out, staff will begin using it to recommend projects for the CIP. Projects will be categorized based on priority, funding availability, and staff delivery capacity. Over time, this information will be used to present a consolidated five-year lifecycle funding sufficiency comparison, aligning estimated infrastructure needs, programmed capital expenditures, and projected funding capacity.

Enhancements to the existing framework may include:

1. Five-Year Funding Sufficiency Analysis

2. Formal Asset Lifecycle Integration

1 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Commission Recommendation from September 18, 2025
On September 18, 2025, the DEI Commission unanimously voted to seek the Town Council’s approval for the Los Gatos DEI Commission, in coordination with NUMU and/or third parties, to host and co-lead a project entitled “Hand[Righting] the Constitution” with the Town’s role limited to: endorsement, publicizing, and displaying the project.

The Commission also requested that the attachment titled “Hand[Righting] the Constitution:

A Public Exercise in Contemplating Our Democratic Rights” be forwarded to the Town Council along with this recommendation.

Summary of Commission Rationale:

The proposed “Hand[Righting] the Constitution” project is proposed as a series of participatory art events in which members of the community would gather at various venues around Los Gatos and take turns transcribing the entire U.S. Constitution by hand onto foam boards with ink pens. Participants would be invited to offer feedback regarding their experience and the project would result in a visual installation featuring the Constitution handwritten by Los Gatos community members.

This project is intended to foster unity and diversity within the Town of Los Gatos. The Commission hopes the project would encourage individual connection within Los Gatos by using the U.S. Constitution as a common bond and creating a more cohesive community by connecting individuals with other individuals they may not have had an opportunity to engage with but for this project. The Commission also hopes the project would reengage an interest in civics by encouraging community members to think more deeply about constitutional rights, democracy and governmental processes. If NUMU is involved in the project, it would allow NUMU to activate its Los Gatos history resources to highlight local connections to the Constitution and the democratic process. At the conclusion of the project, the Commission would like to see the finished product assembled into a single artwork and publicly displayed at Town facilities.

Staff Recommendation:

While staff does not have the bandwidth to host or co-lead the project, if NUMU or another third party leads the project and the Council desires the Town/DEI Commission to endorse the project, it is within staff capacity to publicize it and provide Town facilities for the final product to be displayed. If the Town, including the Commission, is perceived to be in charge of the project, it would necessitate a more time-intensive process to vet volunteers, consider messaging and procedures, and provide overall quality control. Council Members may request consideration of this at a future Council meeting as specified in the Town Agenda Format and Rules Policy.

ATTACHMENT 1
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Commission Recommendation from February 19, 2026
On February 19, 2026, the DEI Commission unanimously voted to accept and endorse the current version of the memo about Hand[Righting] the Constitution (attached) and submit that proposal to the Town Council.

This revised attachment replaces the original attachment that was included with the DEI Commission’s September 18, 2025 recommendation that was part of the September 26, 2025 Updates.

Summary of Commission Rationale:

The summary of Commission rationale that was provided as part of the September 26, 2025 Update to Council remains the same:

Participants would be invited to offer feedback regarding their experience, and the project would result in a visual installation featuring the Constitution handwritten by Los Gatos community members.

Staff Recommendation:

The staff recommendation provided as part of the September 26, 2025 Update to Council remains the same with an emphasis that any Commissioner’s involvement in the project should be in their personal capacity and not on behalf of the DEI Commission or Town.

While staff does not have the bandwidth to host or co-lead the project, if NUMU or another third party leads the project and the Council desires the Town/DEI Commission to endorse the project, itis within staff capacity to publicize it and provide Town facilities for the final product to be displayed. If the Town, including the Commission, is perceived to be in charge of the project, it would necessitate a more time-intensive process to vet volunteers, consider messaging and procedures, and provide overall quality control. Council Members may request consideration of this at a future Council meeting as specified in the Town Agenda Format and Rules Policy.

Hand[Righ*ng] the Cons*tu*on:

A Public Exercise in Contempla*ng Our Democra*c Rights
Submi&ed by Gordon Yamate
Summary: This proposed project consists of a series of community-based, participatory, conceptual art events inspired by the artist Morgan O’Hara, who was featured in an article in the April 21, 2025 online issue of The New Yorker magazine1. The project concept is relatively simple, but profound: provide one or more public spaces in various venues across the Town of Los Gatos, where a handful of individuals working independently transcribe by hand the U.S. Constitution. Participants would sign up for a one-to-two-hour time slot. A log would be created to track their efforts, specifically identifying where in the Constitution each individual begins and ends the transcription, and the date and time of that activity. Participants would also be invited to reflect on their experience: What did they learn? What surprised them? How did it feel to handwrite a foundational civic text? Subsequent participants would start transcribing where a previous individual has ended. To ensure inclusivity, a set of guidelines and rules of conduct would be developed to foster a safe, welcoming environment, set expectations for participants, ensure respectful conduct, and protect against “political” proselytizing or coercion.

The project culminates in a large-scale collective artwork—the entire U.S. Constitution transcribed by diverse hands, curated into a visual installation by an artist or arts organization. The variations in handwriting become a living metaphor for individuality within unity, reflecting both the fragility and resilience of democracy.

This project has been approved by the Los Gatos DEI Commission and recommended to the Town Council for implementaXon. Mayor Rob Moore has indicated his support of the project and would offer the Town chambers as a potenXal locaXon to display the end results of the project.

This project has also been approved by the Town’s Community Health and Senior Services Commission and Arts and Culture Commission.

Who would be project sponsors, par8cipa8ng organiza8ons and hosts? This project envisions a collaboraXve effort between the Town of Los Gatos with leadership from the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Commission and an arXst/arts organizer (the “ArXsXc Lead”).

The project will be conducted in phases with an iniXal roll-out of a series of small group handwriXng sessions, each accommodaXng 6-8 parXcipants, and two larger group sessions at Villa Montalvo and the Town’s 4th of July Concert in the Park events. During this phase, the goal would seek to achieve parXcipaXon of at least 100 parXcipants in the aggregate. This phase would be followed by a review of the work conducted and produced to date, the hiring of one or more arXsts to (i) oversee the assembly of the handwricen panels into a public display and (ii) organize and present the results and learnings from parXcipant feedback and observaXon of Attachment 1

Page 194 ends

ITEM NO. a.

Members of the DEI Commission, the Arts and Culture Commission, the Community Health and Senior Services Commission in addiXon to other Town Commissions would be invited to assist in supervising and monitoring the handwriXng sessions, parXcularly the larger events, in publicizing the handwriXng sessions to friends and family, and parXcipaXng in the sessions themselves. In addiXon, the Los Gatos Library, Los Gatos High School, the Los Gatos AnX-Racism CoaliXon, the Los Gatos Chapter of the Daughters of the American RevoluXon, Democracy Tent Los Gatos and TWW/Indivisible Los Gatos would be ideal parXcipaXng/supporXng organizaXons (“ParXcipaXng OrganizaXons”). Individual members/leaders of these groups have already voiced their support for the project. ParXcipaXng OrganizaXons would be primarily responsible for spreading the word about the various transcribing events and encouraging people to acend and parXcipate (including their members). Other ParXcipaXng OrganizaXons could include Los Gatos schools, religious and faith organizaXons, service organizaXons and community groups in addiXon to the business community.

Who would be invited to par8cipate in the project?
This project would be open to all residents of Los Gatos, owners and employees of businesses in Los Gatos, and visitors to Los Gatos. The project targets high school students and older, middle school students with exposure to the ConsXtuXon would be welcome. Younger students may be able to contribute, but should be accompanied by an adult for safety purposes. Sessions would be intenXonally structured to be intergeneraXonal, encouraging dialogue and exchange across diverse ages, backgrounds and perspecXves.

How and where would the project be staged?
Transcribing sessions could be offered in a conference room at the Los Gatos Library, space within the New Museum Los Gatos, as an acXvity at the Adult RecreaXon Center, and perhaps selected public venues, indoors or outdoors, throughout the Town. The Montalvo Art AssociaXon has indicated that they would like to showcase a handwriXng session at their annual outdoor fesXval on April 18, 2026. Another ideal venue would be the Town’s Fourth of July Concert in the Park, where the DEI Commission has staffed tables with acXviXes designed to engage families and children. In addiXon, sessions could be hosted at Los Gatos High School (to the extent that

ITEM NO. a.

How many par8cipants would be an8cipated and how long would the project last? It is hoped that publicity and word of mouth would generate parXcipaXon by more than an insignificant number of community members, and that all interested community members would have an opportunity to parXcipate. ParXcipants can acend mulXple transcripXon sessions, depending on availability with priority given to first Xme parXcipants. This project could potenXally conXnue for an indefinite period. An officer of the Los Gatos chapter of the DAR noted that project would coincide with the 250th anniversary of the United States (July 4, 2026), or Semiquincentennial, when the U.S. will celebrate 250 years since the signing of the DeclaraXon of Independence. In addiXon, September 17 marks the anniversary of the signing of the final drak of the U.S. ConsXtuXon—as such, an extended run of the project could conXnue through September 17, 2026. Depending on the level of interest generated by this project, it could be extended beyond September 17, 2026 to accommodate parXcipants and/or related acXviXes. With strong community interest, it may extend further as an ongoing civic art pracXce.

Do these transcribing sessions need to be supervised?
In discussing the overall project structure, the Los Gatos DEI Commission concluded that supervision was necessary for the transcribing sessions: it was criXcal to have someone available to greet parXcipants, answer quesXons and get the project rolling, monitor respeclul conduct during the sessions and then collect materials and obtain feedback at the end. Volunteers would be recruited to provide that supervision and would be required to parXcipate in training sessions to ensure that there is consistency on how the sessions are conducted.

What would be the goals and desired outcomes of the project? Display of Transcribed ConsAtuAon. One obvious tangible outcome would be the producXon of community-transcribed versions of the U.S. ConsXtuXon that could be assembled into a single work and publicly displayed. Suggested areas for display include the Town Council chamber and/or recepXon area, Los Gatos Library or other Town faciliXes. The collecXon and organizaXon of the wricen transcripXons would be supervised by the ArXsXc Lead, who may engage curators and arXsts to create an arXsXc presentaXon of the transcripXons for physical display. One suggesXon for organizing the transcribed works might be to hinge them together with tape on the reverse side in accordion style

4 Fostering Individual ConnecAon Within Los Gatos. While not required, it is hoped that parXcipants will interact with fellow parXcipants, even though the project semng would otherwise offer a relaXvely quiet and somewhat meditaXve opportunity to do the actual transcripXon. This project is designed to connect individuals with other individuals with whom they might not know, and more importantly may never have had an opportunity to engage with but for this project. If the ConsXtuXon is a common bond for our community and society overall, how can it be uXlized to create a more cohesive community within the Town of Los Gatos? Reengagement of an Interest in Civics. Through the desired interacXons described above, parXcipants may develop a deeper familiarity with the U.S. ConsXtuXon and reflect upon its meaning. While the transcripXon acXvity is designed to foster conversaXons among strangers, it will also hopefully encourage members of the Los Gatos community to think more deeply about ConsXtuXonal rights, democracy and governmental processes. For example, parXcipants might ask each other about the meaning of various provisions of the ConsXtuXon, share personal perspecXves on how a specific provision impacts or guides their life or thinking, or quesXon how a provision operates or is supposed to operate. It is hoped that Los Gatos High School, Fisher Middle School and other Los Gatos-based educaXonal insXtuXons will develop curriculum and parallel efforts supporXng this community art project or relaXng to its subject macer.

AcAvaAng Local History Resources. This project also allows NUMU to acXvate its Los Gatos history resources to highlight local connecXons to the ConsXtuXon and the democraXc process.

Over the years, members of the Los Gatos community have parXcipated in and/or led efforts to establish important ConsXtuXonal Amendments, which have been documented and preserved by NUMU.

What is the conceptual art component of the project?
In addiXon to creaXng a tangible work from the transcripXon efforts, this project offers a conceptual art component comprising both process and product. The act of handwriXng—the nuances, fluidity and flourishes—embodies a collecXve meditaXon on democracy. The wordplay in the project Xtle (“hand righXng” versus “handwriXng”) captures and embraces the revisiXng and reflecXng on democraXc rights. ParXcipant reflecXons and stories will become part of the artwork. Is there an element of “righXng” the ConsXtuXon that might be uncovered through the project?
To capture the impact of the transcripXon project, parXcipants would have an opportunity to share what they experienced and learned by parXcipaXng in the project. Feedback could be collected via wricen quesXonnaires or short interviews. In addiXon, professional photographers and/or videographers could be hired to help document the project. If a budget does not allow for such recording, volunteers could be enlisted for this purpose. Curators, either hired or volunteerbased, would review and organize the collected input in a manner that can be shared with the public with the displayed transcripXon.
