The proposed agreement amendment will provide dedicated and regular monthly consulting services from DKG Consultants to assist throughout the year with budget functions, developing the required 5-year capital improvement plan, statutory reporting, revenue and cash management, treasury reporting, and options to address the Unfunded Pension Liability.

Title: Consider a Resolution Setting Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2025- 26 and Adopting Amended Appropriations Limits for Fiscal Years 2023-24 and 2024-25
Recommendation(s):
Staff recommends the City Council consider adopting a resolution setting the appropriations limit for fiscal year 2025-26 based upon the price factor and population data provided by the State of California Department of Finance and correcting the fiscal years 2023-24 and 2024-25 appropriations limit calculations.
Background Information:
Article XIII of the California Constitution requires the City Council to annually set an appropriations limit by resolution. The appropriations limitations imposed by Propositions 4 and 111 creates a restriction on the amount of tax proceeds that can be appropriated in any fiscal year. This limit does not apply to the entire City budget. Certain expenditures of tax proceeds do not count toward this limit, including voter approved debt, regulatory and user fees, qualified capital outlays, and costs of complying with legal mandates. The limit is based on actual appropriations during the base year (FY 1986-87) and is increased each year using the growth of population and inflation factors. Proposition 111, which was approved by the voters in June 1990, amended the factors used in the calculation of each year’s limit. The factors to be used now are:
a. Price Factor – At the City’s option, either the change in California per capita income or increase in non-residential assessed valuation due to new local non-residential construction.
b. Population Factor – At the City’s option, either the annual change in City or County population.
Annually the City opts for the price and population factor that yields the most beneficial appropriations limit for the City. For 2025-26, this resulted in using the change in California per capita income (6.44%) and the change in City population (0.66%).
Attached to this report are calculations for fiscal years 2023-24, 2024-25, and 2025-26. Fiscal years 2023-24 and 2024-25 have been recalculated using the existing City methodology for
appropriations subject to the limit (calculated as total City expenditures), but with a new appropriations limit due to an error discovered by the auditor in the calculation of the fiscal year 2023-24 limit. Although the corrected appropriations limits decreased from the previously calculated limits, the actual expenditures did not exceed the corrected limit in either year.
The fiscal year 2025-26 appropriations limit and proceeds subject to the appropriations limit have been calculated consistently with past practice, which is to consider all City expenditures in the proceeds subject to appropriation calculation. Given the City’s existing budget structure, calculating the exemptions accurately is not possible. With the implementation of a new financial system, it is expected that the fiscal year 2026-27 appropriations limit can be calculated with exceptions considered. The appropriations limit for fiscal year 2025-26 is $9,566,207, and the appropriations subject to the limit are $5,794,728, which is $3,771,479 below the appropriations limit.

Department: City Clerk
Title: Consider Adoption of a Resolution Declaring Hazardous Vegetation (Brush) a Public Nuisance
Recommendation(s):
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution declaring hazardous vegetation (brush) a public nuisance.
Background Information:
The City annually declares hazardous vegetation (brush) a public nuisance due to fire danger and enters into a contract (along with other municipalities) with Santa Clara County to abate the hazardous vegetation (brush) not removed by property owners. The focus of this program is the identification of perennial vegetation, brush, trees, and shrub in designated high fire hazardous areas.
The Santa Clara County Fire Department implements and manages a hazardous brush abatement program for the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) areas (hillside areas) within its jurisdictional boundaries, which includes the incorporated areas of Monte Sereno, to provide defensible space for structures.
The City annually adopts the Hazardous Vegetation (Brush) Abatement Program and works with the County who serves as the enforcement agent and conducts their own inspections.
In February of each year, every property owner within a designated fire hazardous severity zone is notified that they must remove brush and vegetation from around their home to create defensible space. The brush abatement program entails inspections of hillside properties by fire crews beginning early April each year. If properties are found to not be in compliance with the regulations found in the California Fire Code and the Enforced Applicable Wildland Fire Safety Regulations relative to vegetation clearance, they are given notice of the violation. If compliance is still not achieved by June 1st each year, then they will be referred to the contractor authorized to perform the necessary work. A public hearing is set for June17th where all property owners in the Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area in the City of Monte Sereno having any objections to the proposed abatement of brush will be heard and given due consideration. An additional inspection of all identified properties will be conducted after the hearing and prior to ordering any abatement work.
The costs associated with the abatement work are then placed on the property tax bill for that parcel.
Fiscal Impact:
There are no unbudgeted fiscal impacts with this agenda item.
Public Noticing:
The City Council's agenda was posted at City Hall and the agenda and this report appear on the City's website.

DECLARING HAZARDOUS VEGETATION (BRUSH)
A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND PROVIDING FOR ABATEMENT
WHEREAS, Sections 39560 and the following of the Government Code of the State of California authorize the City of Monte Sereno to declare that hazardous vegetation (brush) growing to such size and such type and in such locations as to constitute a fire hazard to the community may be declared a public nuisance and to compel owners, lessees, or occupants of buildings, grounds, or lots to remove or abate the hazardous vegetation (brush) to mitigate the fire hazard from such buildings, grounds, or lots to remove or abate the hazardous vegetation (brush) to mitigate the fire hazard from such buildings, grounds, property, and adjacent sidewalks and parkways, and upon the person’s failure to do so, to remove or abate such hazardous vegetation (brush) at the owner’s expense, making the cost of that abatement a lien upon the property, and
WHEREAS, the City of Monte Sereno has entered into an agreement with the County of Santa Clara to provide hazardous vegetation (brush) abatement services, and WHEREAS, the maintenance of hazardous vegetation (brush) in violation of the Uniform Fire Code adopted by the City of Monte Sereno in the Hillside Areas identified and shown on the “Wild Land Urban Interface Fire Area” map (Attachment “A”) constitutes a public nuisance and should be abated immediately; and

Title: Approval of City Manager Employment Agreement with Diana Perkins Recommendation(s):
Approve the employment agreement between the City of Monte Sereno and Diana Perkins to name Diana Perkins the City Manager effective May 21, 2025, and authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement.
Background Information:
Diana Perkins was named the Interim City Manager on September 17, 2024. The City Council desires to appoint Ms. Perkins as the permanent City Manager. In accordance with the City’s Municipal Code, the City Manager is appointed by the City Council. The terms and conditions of employment historically have been set forth in an employment agreement between the Council appointee and the City.
The attached employment agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of Ms. Perkin’s appointment to the position. In addition to her duties as City Manager, Ms. Perkins will continue to serve as the City Planner and be responsible for, among other things, long range planning. Under the proposed agreement, Ms. Perkins will be the permanent City Manager effective May 21, 2025. The proposed annual base salary is $245,000 through June 30, 2026.
Beginning July 1, 2026, her salary will be increased to $260,000. Thereafter, the City Council shall determine the City Manager’s salary during the annual performance evaluation.
Ms. Perkins will be eligible for six (6) weeks of leave per year and sick leave. She will keep whatever leave balances she currently has. In addition, she is entitled to a car allowance of $400 per month and 6-month severance payment in the event of termination without cause.
Fiscal Impact:
The adoption of this agreement would result in a salary that is $13,880 higher than the current budgeted amount. However, with the City Manager position assuming a portion of the responsibility of the City Planner position, staff anticipates a savings of approximately $50,000 in salary expenses by reclassifying the City Planner position to an Associate Planner. A net salary savings of approximately $36,120 would result from the adoption of this agreement.
Public Noticing:
The City Council’s agenda was posted at City Hall and the agenda and this report appear on the City’s website.

City Manager Employment Agreement Between the City of Monte Sereno and Diana Perkins
1 CITY MANAGER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN CITY OF MONTE
SERENO AND DIANA PERKINS
This Agreement made and entered into the 20th day of May, 2025, by and between the City of Monte Sereno, a municipal corporation in the State of California ("CITY"), and Diana Perkins ("MANAGER'').
RECITALS
A. The City Council of the City of Monte Sereno desires to appoint Diana Perkins to the position of City Manager of the City of Monte Sereno on May 21st, 2025.
B. It is the desire of the City Council to establish the terms and conditions of employment of Diana Perkins as City Manager of the City of Monte Sereno, including the duties, salary and benefits of employment.
C. Diana Perkins desires to accept employment as City Manager of the City of Monte Sereno under the terms set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the respective and mutual covenants hereinafter contained and made, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and agreed, and subject to all the terms and conditions hereof, the parties agree as follows:
SECTION 1. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
A. Appointment as City Manager. CITY hereby agrees to employ MANAGER in the capacity of City Manager for CITY during the term of this Agreement.
MANAGER will perform the functions and duties specified in Chapter 2.02 of the Monte Sereno Municipal Code for this position and perform such other legally permissible and proper duties and functions as the City Council may from time to time assign or delegate. In addition to the duties as City Manager, MANAGER shall continue to serve as the City Planner and perform the duties associated with such position including, but not limited to, maintaining the City’s long range planning documents (i.e. General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Design Guidelines, Objective Design Standards, etc.) and researching, conducting and/or analyzing policy and long range planning projects.
B. Work Schedule. It is recognized that MANAGER is expected to engage in the hours of work that are necessary to fulfill the obligations of the position and is expected to devote a great deal of time both during and outside the normal office hours to the business of the CITY. MANAGER acknowledges that proper performance of the duties of MANAGER will require the MANAGER to generally be accessible during normal and outside normal business hours and will also often require the performance of necessary services outside of normal business hours. MANAGER will be responsible to set their work schedule and will ensure accessibility when not physically present during normal business hours. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the CITY will permit MANAGER such reasonable “time off” as is customary for exempt employees of the CITY and detailed in Section 4B below, so long as the time off does not interfere with normal business.
2 MANAGER’s compensation (whether salary or benefits or other allowances) is not based on hours worked, and MANAGER shall not be entitled to any compensation for overtime unless otherwise permitted by law in the case of reimbursement from a federal agency.
While the MANAGER will remain reasonably available outside normal working hours and during “time off”, non-normal working hours and time off shall not be considered CITY working time unless such time is a CITY event, CITY community event, or performing CITY work where the MANAGER is attending or performing in their official capacity.
C. Exclusive Employment. During the term of this Agreement, MANAGER shall be in the exclusive employ of the CITY; provided, however that the term "exclusive employ" shall not prohibit future part-time, compensated employment which the MANAGER may desire to accept with appropriate prior knowledge and approval of the City Council. "Appropriate prior knowledge and approval of the City Council" shall mean that MANAGER shall give written notice to the City Council and approval of the City Council shall be deemed given unless any City Council member states in writing that they desire a closed session to discuss the part-time, compensated employment. Such part-time, compensated employment shall not in any way conflict in time or interest with MANAGER’s responsibilities to CITY. City Council shall have uncontrolled discretion in granting part-time, compensated outside employment and its determination to grant or deny part-time outside employment shall be final.
D. City Council Commitments. Except for the purpose of inquiry, the City Council and its members shall deal with all subordinate City employees, officers, contracts, and consultants through the MANAGER or the MANAGER’S designee, and neither the City Council nor any member thereof shall give direction to any subordinate of the MANAGER, either publicly or privately. No member of the City Council will order the appointment or removal of any person to any office or employment under the supervision and control of the MANAGER. Neither the City Council nor any of its members shall interfere with the execution of the powers and duties of the City Manager, as specified in the City Code, this Agreement, or any other lawfully adopted and authorized document.
SECTION 2. SALARY:
A. Initial Salary. CITY agrees to pay MANAGER for their services rendered in the amount of $245,000 annually, payable in installments at the same time as other employees of CITY are paid through June 30, 2026. Beginning July 1, 2026, MANAGER shall be paid $260,000 annually, payable in installments at the same time as other employees of CITY are paid. Thereafter, the City Council shall determine MANAGER’s salary during the annual performance evaluation.
B. Performance Evaluation. The performance review and evaluation process set forth herein is intended to provide review and feedback to MANAGER so as to facilitate more effective management of the City.
1. Annual Evaluation. City Council shall review and evaluate the performance of MANAGER annually on or about the one (1) year
3 anniversary of MANAGER’s start date and every year thereafter. The City Council and MANAGER shall mutually agree on the criteria, metrics, and/or expectations used to evaluate the MANAGER. It shall be the obligation of MANAGER and/or the City Clerk to notify City Council of the need to conduct the evaluation required by this Section.
2. Development and Mentoring. City Council will support the continuous development and mentoring of the MANAGER to stay current on local government matters, enhance knowledge, skills, and abilities to effectively manage CITY operations, and will annually budget the resources necessary to further this objective. Such development and mentoring shall include funding for training and business expenses provided for in Section 6 of this Agreement.
3. Salary Increases. Should the City Council, upon completion of its annual review of MANAGER's performance pursuant to this Agreement beginning in July 2027, determine that MANAGER has met its performance expectations; the City Council may increase MANAGER’s compensation.
SECTION 3. RETIREMENT BENEFITS:
The City shall pay the employer's contribution for MANAGER to the Public Employee's Retirement System (PERS), as established by the contract between the City of Monte Sereno and the PERS Board of Administration authorized by Ordinance NO. NS-1, adopted on April 1, 1980.

B. Leave. It is recognized that the MANAGER must devote a great deal of time outside of normal office hours without benefit of paid overtime in the conduct of City business.

Upon termination of service, unused sick leave is not cashed out upon termination, resignation, retirement or other separation from employment. Unused sick leave may be converted to retirement service credits only as may be permitted under applicable retirement system laws and regulations.

In the case benefits are provided to City employees and are not provided for in this Agreement, the MANAGER shall be entitled to those benefits. In the case benefits provided in this Agreement conflict from what is provided to City employees, the Agreement shall prevail.
E. Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance. The City shall continue to provide to MANAGER medical, dental, and vision insurance at the same level as its City employees.

The severance payment shall be equal to six (6) months of the MANAGER's current base salary calculated on the rate of pay at the time of termination. In addition, the CITY will provide any benefits that are lawfully required to be continued pursuant to COBRA and other statutes. Following separation, MANAGER retains the right to participate in City health and related benefit programs, should such programs be instituted during the term of this Agreement, at MANAGER's own and sole expense pursuant to the terms of COBRA.

STAFF REPORT
Meeting: City Council - May 20 2025
Agenda Heading: PUBLIC HEARINGS
Staff Contact: Diana Perkins, City Planner/Interim City Manager Department: Interim City Manager
Title: Application 2023-3073 for a Site Development Permit for a new approximately 5,997 square foot two-story house and an approximately 977 square foot detached accessory building; a Grading Use Permit for 2,934 cubic yards of cumulative grading; and a Tree Removal Permit to remove 13 trees at 18340 Lexington Drive. (CEQA: Exempt, Guidelines sections 15302, 15303)
Recommendation(s):
The Site and Architectural Commission recommends that the City Council approve the Site Development Permit, Grading Use Permit, and Tree Removal Permit as conditioned in the draft resolution.
Background Information:
This project was heard by the Site and Architectural Commission on May 7, 2025. The Commission recommended approval of the project with an additional condition that the two second-story windows in Bedroom 4 which face the south be revised to clear-story windows.
The Site and Architectural Commission voted 2-0-3 with one Commissioner recusing and two Commissioners absent. The Commissioner who recused himself from the item participated only to form a quorum and did not participate or vote on the matter.
The additional condition recommended by the Site and Architectural Commission has been incorporated in the draft Resolution attached to this report.
Analysis:
Site Development Permit
The subject lot is located mid-block on Lexington Drive and the back of the property fronts along Saratoga-Los Gatos Road. The existing house would be demolished as part of this application and a new approximately 5,997 square foot two-story house is proposed. The proposed house includes a basement of approximately 2,844 square feet, which is not included in the maximum allowed area for the main house.
The proposed application also includes a detached garage and shop building which is approximately 977 square feet.
The exterior of the proposed house and accessory structure will have stucco, dark metal bronze window frames, and a synthetic cedar shake roof. The proposed house and accessory structures are in character with the existing neighborhood which includes a mix of architectural styles and one- and two-story houses.
The proposed house meets all objective standards of the zoning code including setbacks, building height, and structural/impervious coverage.
The Monte Sereno Municipal Code section 10.08.040(A) requires a Site Development Permit for any new building exceeding 120 square feet, except any accessory dwelling unit permitted in accordance with Section 10.06.140. Staff recommends the Site Development Permit be approved based on the following findings:
A. The proposed improvement retains the existing character of the neighborhood in which it is located in that the proposed two-story home is a similar scale as other two-story houses in the vicinity and has minimized the massing by stepping back the second floor significantly from the first floor at the front and side yards.
B. The proposed house is a contemporary design in an existing neighborhood with a mix of architectural styles but with a significant front yard setback that does not dominate the streetscape and maintains much of the mature landscaping at the side property lines thus minimizing any visual impact on adjacent properties and the neighborhood.
C. The proposed improvement is consistent with the City’s Guidelines in that the design of the proposed home minimizes the massing of a two-story home by setting the second floor back from the first floor at the front and side yards.
D. The proposed improvement includes the movement of a large quantity of soil on site, the impact of the grading is predominantly behind the new home and thus does not impact the view of the lot from the street.
Grading Use Permit
The proposed grading for the site includes 1,467 cubic yards of cut and 1,467 cubic yards of fill, which, as defined by the Municipal Code is 2,934 cubic yard of cumulative grading. The Municipal Code requires that all cumulative grading over 1,000 cubic yards requires a Grading Use Permit which is to be considered by the City Council.
The property has a significant slope from the front of the site to the back. Some of the grading work will occur at the front of the property to provide a lower slope to the driveway than is existing. The majority of grading work is proposed at the back of the house to create a usable back yard area as well as a bio-retention area to manage storm water on-site.
The Monte Sereno Municipal Code section 9.04.080 requires a Grading Use Permit be approved for cumulative grading that exceeds 1,000 cubic yards. Staff recommends the Grading Use Permit be approved based on the following findings in accordance with Monte Sereno Municipal Code 10.10.010(C):
A. The proposed use will not impair the integrity and character of the zoning district in that the proposed grading will better accommodate the use of the one-acre lot as for a new single-family home and provide for a usable rear yard area located behind the propose house.
B. The proposed use would not be detrimental to public health, safety, or general welfare in that the proposed grading minimizes any impact to the adjacent properties and any retaining wall in close proximity to the adjacent properties will be constructed according to established engineering standards.
C. The proposed use of the property is in harmony with the various elements or objectives of the General Plan and the purposes of this Title in that the overall design of the project conforms with the applicable zoning regulations and is designed respectful of the large lot rural character of the neighborhood.
D. The proposed use as designed, will not cause a substantial adverse impact upon the environment, or the proposed use will provide public benefits which outweigh the substantial adverse impact upon the environment, in that allowing for the amount of grading in the rear of the lot, the proposed house can remain setback on the lot and the front portion of the lot can remain in a more natural state.

Six of the trees proposed for removal are considered ‘unsuitable’ species in the zoning code and the removal of these trees can be approved by staff.
The proposed landscape plan, on plan sheet A1.3, includes a total of 19 new 24-inch box sized trees to be planted in the site.
The Monte Sereno Municipal Code section 10.15.070 requires a Tree Removal Permit to remove the trees noted above and requires specific findings to be made in order to approve the Tree Removal Permit. Staff recommends that the Tree Removal Permit be approved based on the following required findings:
A. The trees proposed to be removed are located in an area proposed for construction. Removal of these trees is necessary in order to allow reasonable economic enjoyment of the property.
B. The trees proposed to be removed will not impact erosion, soil retention and diversion or increased flow of surface waters. The proposed landscaping of the
overall site will improve the erosion control, soil retention and diversion or increased flow of surface waters.
C. The removal of the trees will not affect the established standard of the area nor affect surrounding property values in that the property includes an extensive landscape plan with additional trees to be planted on the property.
D. Removal will not affect the number of trees the property can support according to good forestry practices in that the site will be planted with replacement trees as part of a comprehensive landscape plan.

4 STANDARD BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICE NOTES
1. Solid and Demolition Waste Management: Provide designated waste collection areas and containers on site away from streets, gutters, storm drains, and waterways, and arrange for regular disposal. Waste containers must be watertight and covered at all times except when waste is deposited. Refer to Erosion & Sediment Control Field Manual, 4th Edition (page C3) or latest.
2. Hazardous Waste Management: Provide proper handling and disposal of hazardous wastes by a licensed hazardous waste material hauler. Hazardous wastes shall be stored and properly labeled in sealed containers constructed of suitable materials.
Refer to Erosion & Sediment Control Field Manual, 4th
Edition (pages C-5 to C-6) or latest.
3. Spill Prevention and Control: Provide proper storage areas for liquid and solid materials, including chemicals and hazardous substances, away from streets, gutters, storm drains, and waterways. Spill control materials must be kept on site where readily accessible. Spills must be cleaned up immediately and contaminated soil disposed properly. Refer to Erosion & Sediment Control Field Manual, 4th Edition (pages C-7 to C-8, C-13 to C-14) or latest.
4. Vehicle and Construction Equipment Service and Storage:
An area shall be designated for the maintenance, where onsite maintenance is required, and storage of equipment that is protected from stormwater run-on and runoff. Measures shall be provided to capture any waste oils, lubricants, or other potential pollutants and these wastes shall be properly disposed of off site. Fueling and major maintenance/repair, and washing shall be conducted off-site whenever feasible. Refer to Erosion & Sediment Control Field Manual, 4th Edition (page C9) or latest.
5. Material Delivery, Handling and Storage: In general, materials should not be stockpiled on site. Where temporary stockpiles are necessary and approved by the County, they shall be covered with secured plastic sheeting or tarp and located in designated areas near construction entrances and away from drainage paths and waterways. Barriers shall be provided around storage areas where materials are potentially in contact with runoff. Refer to Erosion & Sediment Control Field
Manual, 4th Edition (pages C-11 to C-12) or latest.
6. Handling and Disposal of Concrete and Cement: When
concrete trucks and equipment are washed on-site, concrete wastewater shall be contained in designated containers or in a temporary lined and watertight pit where wasted concrete can harden for later removal. If possible have concrete contractor remove concrete wash water from site. In no case shall fresh concrete be washed into the road right-of-way. Refer to Erosion & Sediment Control Field Manual, 4th Edition (pages C-15 to C-16) or latest.
7. Pavement Construction Management: Prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants from paving operations, using measures to prevent run-on and runoff pollution and properly disposing of wastes. Avoid paving in the wet season and reschedule paving when rain is in the forecast. Residue from saw-cutting shall be vacuumed for proper disposal. Refer to Erosion & Sediment Control Field Manual, 4th Edition (pages C-17 to C-18) or latest.
8. Contaminated Soil and Water Management: Inspections to identify contaminated soils should occur prior to construction and at regular intervals during construction. Remediating contaminated soil should occur promptly after identification and be specific to the contaminant identified, which may include hazardous waste removal. Refer to Erosion & Sediment Control Field Manual, 4th Edition (pages C-19 to C-20) or latest.
9. Sanitary/Septic Water Management: Temporary sanitary facilities should be located away from drainage paths,
waterways, and traffic areas. Only licensed sanitary and septic waste haulers should be used. Secondary containment should be provided for all sanitary facilities. Refer to Erosion & Sediment Control Field Manual, 4th Edition (page C-21) or latest.
10.Inspection & Maintenance: Areas of material and equipment storage sites and temporary sanitary facilities must be inspected weekly. Problem areas shall be identified and appropriate additional and/or alternative control measures implemented immediately, within 24 hours of the problem being identified.
STANDARD EROSION CONTROL NOTES
1. Sediment Control Management:
Tracking Prevention & Clean Up: Activities
shall be organized and measures taken as needed
to prevent or minimize tracking of soil onto the
public street system. A gravel or proprietary
device construction entrance/exit is required for
all sites. Clean up of tracked material shall be
provided by means of a street sweeper prior to an
approaching rain event, or at least once at the end
of each workday that material is tracked, or, more
frequently as determined by the County Inspector.
Refer to Erosion & Sediment Control Field Manual,
4th Edition (pages B-31 to B-33) or latest.
Storm Drain Inlet and Catch Basin Inlet Protection:
All inlets within the vicinity of the project and
within the project limits shall be protected with
gravel bags placed around inlets or other inlet
protection. At locations where exposed soils are
present, staked fiber roles or staked silt fences
can be used. Inlet filters are not allowed due to
clogging and subsequent flooding. Refer to Erosion
& Sediment Control Field Manual, 4th Edition
(pages B-49 to B-51) or latest.
Storm Water Runoff: No storm water runoff shall be
allowed to drain in to the existing and/or proposed
underground storm drain system or other above
ground watercourses until appropriate erosion
control measures are fully installed.
Dust Control: The contractor shall provide dust
control in graded areas as required by providing wet
suppression or chemical stabilization of exposed
soils, providing for rapid clean up of sediments
deposited on paved roads, furnishing construction
road entrances and vehicle wash down areas, and
limiting the amount of areas disturbed by clearing
and earth moving operations by scheduling these
activities in phases.
Stockpiling: Excavated soils shall not be placed in
streets or on paved areas. Borrow and temporary
stockpiles shall be protected with appropriate
erosion control measures(tarps, straw bales, silt
fences, ect.) to ensure silt does not leave the site
or enter the storm drain system or neighboring
watercourse.
2. Erosion Control: During the rainy season,
all disturbed areas must include an effective
combination of erosion and sediment control. It is
required that temporary erosion control measures
are applied to all disturbed soil areas prior to a rain event. During the non-rainy season, erosion control
measures must be applied sufficient to control wind
erosion at the site.
3. Inspection & Maintenance: Disturbed areas of the
Project’s site, locations where vehicles enter or
exit the site, and all erosion and sediment controls
that are identified as part of the Erosion Control
Plans must be inspected by the Contractor before,
during, and after storm events, and at least weekly
during seasonal wet periods. Problem areas shall
be identified and appropriate additional and/
or alternative control measures implemented
immediately, within 24 hours of the problem being
identified.
4. Project Completion: Prior to project completion and
signoff by the County Inspector, all disturbed areas
shall be reseeded, planted, or landscaped to minimize
the potential for erosion on the subject site.
5. It shall be the Owner’s/Contractor’s responsibility to maintain control of the entire construction operation
and to keep the entire site in compliance with the
erosion control plan.
6. Erosion and sediment control best management
practices shall be operable year round or until
vegetation is fully established on landscaped
surfaces.

18340 Lexington Court Tree Inventory, Assessment,
and Protection Report
November 18, 2024
Revised December 4, 2024
Summary
The plans are to demolish the existing structures and build a new residence.
The inventory contains thirty-one (31) trees comprised of fourteen (14) different species. Eleven trees are Unsuitable comprised of nine (9) fruit trees and two (2) Monterey pines.
Fifteen (15) trees are in good condition, fourteen (14) fair, and two (2) are in very poor shape.
Nineteen (19) trees are expected to be removed and seven (7) of those are Unsuitable. Two (2) coast live oaks, #612 and #613, are close to the proposed driveway and could be moderate to highly impacted depending on protection and construction. Five (5) additional trees could be moderately impacted and five are not expected to be affected.
Replacement tree mitigation should account for the twelve “Significant” trees by replacing them with new specimens.
Tree protection will be focused on #590-#595 and coast live oaks #612 and #613 near the driveway along the east side of the property. There is no way to obtain any type of calculated tree protection zone around trees #612 and #613 so trunk protection and monitoring of construction may be needed (Appendix D). There are trees farther down the property and fence could be placed across the back and along the west side to avoid encroachment into these boundary trees.

Observations
Tree Inventory
The inventory contains all the trees with trunk diameters greater than six inches in diameter (19 inches circumference).
"Significant tree" means: (1) oaks or redwood trees having a circumference greater than twenty (20) inches measured at a height of forty-eight (48) inches above natural grade; or (2) any tree having a circumference greater than twenty-five (25) inches measured at a height of forty-eight (48) inches above natural grade.
The inventory contains thirty-one (31) trees comprised of fourteen (14) different species (Chart 1). Eleven trees are Unsuitable comprised of nine (9) fruit trees and two (2) Monterey pines.
There are other Unsuitable privets and fruit trees on the site but their trunk diameters were less than six inches and not included in this inventory. These trees are labeled in Appendix A for reference since they are indicated on the plan sheet but do not show up with an I.D. number.

Discussion
Condition Rating
A tree’s condition is a determination of its overall health, structure, and form (ISA, 2019). The assessment considered all three characteristics for a combined condition rating based on the definitions paraphrased below .
• 100% - Exceptional = Good health and structure with significant size, location or quality. • 61-80% - Good = Normal vigor, well-developed structure, function and aesthetics not compromised with good longevity for the site.
• 41-60 % - Fair = Reduced vigor, damage, dieback, or pest problems, at least one significant structural problem or multiple moderate defects requiring treatment. Major asymmetry or deviation from the species normal habit, function and aesthetics compromised. • 21-40% - Poor = Unhealthy and declining appearance with poor vigor, abnormal foliar color, size or density with potential irreversible decline. One serious structural defect or multiple significant defects that cannot be corrected and failure may occur at any time. Significant asymmetry and compromised aesthetics and intended use.
• 6-20% - Very Poor = Poor vigor and dying with little foliage in irreversible decline. Severe defects with the likelihood of failure being probable or imminent. Aesthetically poor with little or no function in the landscape.
• 0-5% - Dead/Unstable = Dead or imminently ready to fail.
Fifteen (15) trees are in good condition, fourteen (14) fair, and two (2) are in very poor shape (Chart 2).

Expected Impact Level
Impact level defines how a tree may be affected by construction activity and proximity to the tree, and is described as low, moderate, or high. The following scale defines the impact rating:
• Low = The construction activity will have little influence on the tree. • Moderate = The construction may cause future health or structural problems, and steps must be taken to protect the tree to reduce future problems.
• High = Tree structure and health will be compromised and removal is recommended, or other actions must be taken for the tree to remain. The tree is located in the building envelope.
Nineteen (19) trees are expected to be removed and seven (7) of those are “Unsuitable Trees” (Chart 3). Two (2) coast live oaks, #612 and #613, are close to the proposed driveway and could be moderate to highly impacted depending on protection and construction. Five (5) additional trees could be moderately impacted and five are not expected to be affected.

Tree Protection
Tree protection focuses on avoiding damage to the roots, trunk, or scaffold branches from heavy equipment (Appendix D). The tree protection zone (TPZ) is the defined area in which certain activities are prohibited to minimize potential injury to the tree and should encompass the critical root zone. There are two tree protection zones determined which include the “calculated” and “specified” tree protection zones. The “calculated” tree protection zone is determined by a multiplication factor based on species tolerance, tree age/vigor/health, and trunk diameter (Table 3). The “specified” tree protection zone is adjusted in size and shape to accommodate the existing infrastructure, planned construction, and specific site constraints. This “specified” zone includes tree canopy conformation, visible root orientation, size, condition, maturity, and species tolerances (Gilpin, R, Hauer, R, Matheny, N, and Smiley, E.T. 2023) .1 Tree protection will be focused on #590-#595 and coast live oaks #612 and #613 near the driveway along the east side of the property. There is no way to obtain any type of calculated tree protection zone around trees #612 and #613 so trunk protection and monitoring of construction may be needed (Appendix D). There are trees farther down the property and fence could be placed across the back and along the west side to avoid encroachment into these boundary trees.
10.15.030 Significant tree; protection during construction. 1 During any construction work being carried on in close proximity to any significant tree, the owner of the real property on which the significant tree is located shall install and maintain a protective fence, all parts of which fence shall be not less than five (5) feet from the trunk of the significant tree. If, for any reason, the protective fencing cannot be constructed no less than five (5) feet from the tree trunk, the City Manager or Manager's designee, after viewing the significant tree may set the minimum distance from the trunk of the significant tree to be used in installing the fence.

Recommendations
1. Place tree numbers, protection schemes and fence radii on all the plans.
2. Place tree protection fence at the boundary of demolition adjacent to #590 through #595 and along the west side of the property to help protect the existing vegetation to be retained.
3. Place wattle or vertical timbers around the trunks (Appendix D) of coast live oaks #612 and #613. Have an ISA Certified Arborist monitor initial grading and construction adjacent to the trees when the new driveway section is installed.
4. Obtain all necessary tree removal permits prior to demolition.
5. Place irrigation under trees to be retained in the TPZ and irrigate with 10 gallons of water per trunk diameter where possible. Place soaker hoses inside the TPZ and wet the soil to six to ten inches in depth once a week. Do not allow water to run off the site. Monitor watering times or amounts to ensure adequate soil saturation. (A 5/8” soaker hose requires about 200 minutes to deliver one inch of water to a garden. This number is affected by the length of the hose and the overall rate of flow from the faucet. A good rule of thumb is to expect about ½ GPM as a standard faucet flow rate.). Infrequent deeper watering is preferred.
6. All tree maintenance and care shall be performed by a qualified arborist with a C-61/D-49 California Contractors License. Tree maintenance and care shall be specified in writing according to American National Standard for Tree Care Operations: Tree, Shrub and Other Woody Plant Management: Standard Practices parts 1 through 10 and adhere to ANSI Z133.1 safety standards and local regulations. All maintenance is to be performed according to ISA Best Management Practices.
7. Refer to Appendix D for general tree protection guidelines including recommendations for arborist assistance while working under trees, trenching, or excavation within a trees drip line or designated TPZ.
8. Provide a copy of this report to all contractors and project managers, including the architect, civil engineer, and landscape designer or architect. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure all parties are familiar with this document.
9. Arrange a pre-construction meeting with the project arborist or landscape architect to verify tree protection is in place, with the correct materials, and at the proper distances.

Glossary of Terms
Calculated tree protection zone: A TPZ calculated using the trunk diameter and a multiplication factor based on species tolerance to construction and tree age. It is often plotted on a plan as a circle or other arbitrary shape and can be used as a guide for establishing the specified TPZ.
Critical root zone: a conceptual soil area containing the minimal amount of all the essential parts of the root zone needed to sustain tree health and structural integrity. There are no universally accepted methods to calculate the CRZ.
Defect: An imperfection, weakness, or lack of something necessary. In trees defects are injuries, growth patterns, decay, or other conditions that reduce the tree’s structural strength.
Diameter at breast height (DBH): Measures at 1.4 meters (4.5 feet) above ground in the United States, Australia (arboriculture), New Zealand, and when using the Guide for Plant Appraisal, 9th edition; at 1.3 meters (4.3 feet) above ground in Australia (forestry), Canada, the European Union, and in UK forestry; and at 1.5 meters (5 feet) above ground in UK arboriculture.
Drip Line: Imaginary line defined by the branch spread or a single plant or group of plants.
Form: describes a plant’s habit, shape or silhouette defined by its genetics, environment, or management.
Health: Assessment is based on the overall appearance of the tree, its leaf and twig growth, and the presence and severity of insects or disease.
Mechanical damage: Physical damage caused by outside forces such as cutting, chopping or any mechanized device that may strike the tree trunk, roots or branches.
Scaffold branches: Permanent or structural branches that for the scaffold architecture or structure of a tree.
Specified tree protection zone (specified TPZ): a TPZ that is adjusted in size or shape to accommodate the existing infrastructure, planned construction, and aspects of the site, as well as the tree canopy conformation, visible root orientation, size, condition, maturity, and species response to construction.
Straw wattle: also known as straw worms, bio-logs, straw noodles, or straw tubes are man made cylinders of compressed, weed free straw (wheat or rice), 8 to 12 inches in diameter and 20 to 25 feet long. They are encased in jute, nylon, or other photo degradable materials, and have an average weight of 35 pounds.

Tree Protection Zone (TPZ): Defined area within which certain activities are prohibited or restricted to prevent or minimize potential injury to designated trees, especially during construction or development.
Tree Risk Assessment: Process of evaluating what unexpected things could happen, how likely it is, and what the likely outcomes are. In tree management, the systematic process to determine the level of risk posed by a tree, tree part, or group of trees.
Trunk: Stem of a tree.

10.15.020 - Significant tree removal; when prohibited; exceptions.
It is unlawful for any person to remove, or cause to be removed, any tree which has been determined to be significant by the City from any parcel of property in the City without first complying with the requirements of this Chapter. The provisions of this Chapter shall not apply:
A. In case of emergency when a tree is hazardous or dangerous to life or property and its removal has been approved by order of the City Manager or the Manager's designee.
B. To any franchised public utility or representative of the City removing trees which interfere with the safe operation of the public service or public right-of-way for which they are responsible.
C. To trees deemed no longer viable by the City Manager or the City Manager's designee.
10.15.040 - Significant tree; protection during, construction.
During any construction work being carried on in close proximity to any tree which has been determined to be significant under this Chapter, the owner of the real property on which the tree is located shall install and maintain a protective fence, all parts of which fence shall be not less than five (5) feet from the trunk of the tree. If, for any reason, the protective fencing cannot be constructed no less than five (5) feet from the tree trunk, the City Manager or Manager's designee, after viewing the tree may set the minimum distance from the trunk of the tree to be used in installing the fence.
Pre-Construction Meeting with the Project Arborist
Tree protection locations should be marked before any fencing contractor arrives.
Prior to beginning work, all contractors involved with the project should attend a pre construction meeting with the project arborist to review the tree protection guidelines. Access routes, storage areas, and work procedures will be discussed.
Tree Protection Zones and Fencing
Tree protection fencing should be established prior to the arrival of construction equipment or materials on site. Fencing should be comprised of six-foot high chain link fencing mounted on eight-foot tall, 1 7/8-inch diameter galvanized posts, driven 24 inches into the ground and spaced no more than 10 feet apart. Once established, the fencing must remain undisturbed and be maintained throughout the construction process until final inspection.
The fencing should be maintained throughout the site during the construction period and should be inspected periodically for damage and proper functions.

18340 Lexington Court Tree Inventory, Assessment,
and Protection Report
November 18, 2024
Revised December 4, 2024
Fencing should be repaired, as necessary, to provide a physical barrier from construction activities.
A final inspection by the city arborist at the end of the project will be required prior to removing any tree protection fence and replacement tree shall be planted at this time.
Monitoring
Any trenching, construction or demolition that is expected to damage or encounter tree roots should be monitored by the project arborist or a qualified ISA Certified Arborist and should be documented.
The site should be evaluated by the project arborist or a qualified ISA Certified Arborist after construction is complete, and any necessary remedial work that needs to be performed should be noted.
Root Pruning
Both the ANSI Standard Part 8 and the ISA Best Management Practices: Root Management (2017) suggest “selective" root removal is preferred over “non-selective” removal. Selective root removal requires pre-excavation, typically by hand or with a pneumatic excavating equipment.
Selective removal allows for the roots to be exposed prior to cutting at the appropriate locations.
It is suggested roots greater than one inch in diameter should be pruned rather than left torn or crushed (Costello, L., Watson, G., Smiley, E. T.. 2017).
Roots greater than two inches in diameter shall not be cut. When roots over two inches in diameter are encountered and are authorized to be cut or removed, they should be pruned by hand with loppers, handsaw, reciprocating saw, or chain saw rather than left crushed or torn.
Roots should be cut beyond sinker roots or outside root branch junctions and be supervised by the project arborist. When completed, exposed roots should be kept moist with burlap or backfilled within one hour.
Boring or Tunneling
Boring machines should be set up outside the drip line or established Tree Protection Zone.
Boring may also be performed by digging a trench on both sides of the tree until roots one inch in diameter are encountered and then hand dug or excavated with an Air Spade® or similar air or water excavation tool. Bore holes should be adjacent to the trunk and never go directly under the main stem to avoid oblique (heart) roots. Bore holes should be a minimum of three feet deep.

Tree Pruning and Removal Operations
All tree pruning or removals should be performed by a qualified arborist with a C-61/D-49 California Contractors License. Treatment, including pruning, shall be specified in writing according to the most recent ANSI A-300A Standards and Limitations and performed according to ISA Best Management Practices while adhering to ANSI Z133.1 safety standards.

RESOLUTION NO. 25-###
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTE SERENO APPROVING APPLICATION 2023-3073 FOR A SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW APPROXIMATELY 5,997 SQUARE FOOT TWOSTORY HOUSE, A NEW APPROXIMATELY 977 SQUARE FOOT DETACHED
ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, A GRADING USE PERMIT FOR CUMULATIVE GRADING OF APPROXIMATELY 2,934 CUBIC YARDS, AND A TREE REMOVAL
PERMIT TO REMOVE THIRTEEN TREES FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 18340 LEXINGTON DRIVE
WHEREAS, Jessica Nelson (“Applicant”) applied for a Site Development Permit for the construction of a new approximately 5,997 square foot two-story house and a new approximately 977 square foot detached accessory structure, a Grading Use Permit for cumulative grading of approximately 2,934 cubic feet, and a Tree Removal Permit to remove thirteen trees for the property located at 18340 Lexington Drive.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the Site and Architectural Commission on May 7, 2025 to take evidence on the Application and at the hearing evidence was given both orally and in writing; and
WHEREAS, the Site and Architectural Commission recommended approval of the Application; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was set and held on May 20, 2025, by the City Council to take evidence on the Application and at that hearing evidence was given both orally and in writing; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered all the evidence presented regarding the Application.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTE SERENO AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council hereby finds as follows with respect to the Site Development Permit:
A. The Monte Sereno Municipal Code (“Code”) requires the following:
1. Pursuant to Code section 10.08.040(A) a Site Development Permit is required for any new building or structure exceeding one hundred twenty (120) square feet, except any Accessory Dwelling Unit permitted in accordance with Section 10.06.140.
2. In accordance with Code section 10.08.050(B), no Site Development Permit may be issued unless certain specific findings can be made.
3. The City Council hereby makes the following findings:
a. The proposed improvement retains the existing character of the neighborhood in which it is located in that the proposed two-story home is a similar scale as other two-story houses in the vicinity and has minimized the massing by stepping back the second floor significantly from the first floor at the front and side yards. b. The proposed house is a contemporary design in an existing neighborhood with a mix of architectural styles but with a significant front yard setback that does not dominate the streetscape and maintains much of the mature landscaping at the side property lines thus minimizing any visual impact on adjacent properties and the neighborhood.
c. The proposed improvement is consistent with the City’s Guidelines in that the design of the proposed home minimizes the massing of a two-story home by setting the second floor back from the first floor at the front and side yards.
d. The proposed improvement includes the movement of a large quantity of soil on site, the impact of the grading is predominantly behind the new home and thus does not impact the view of the lot from the street.
Section 2. The City Council hereby finds as follows with respect to Grading Use Permit for cumulative grading of approximately 2,934 cubic yards:
A. The Monte Sereno Municipal Code (“Code”) requires the following:
1. Pursuant to Code section 9.04.080 a Grading Use Permit is required for any cumulative grading in excess of 1,000 cubic yards.
2. In accordance with Code section 10.10.010(C), no Grading Use Permit may be issued unless certain specific findings can be made.
3. The City Council hereby makes the following findings:
a. The proposed use will not impair the integrity and character of the zoning district in that the proposed grading will better accommodate the use of the one-acre lot as for a new single-family home and provide for a usable rear yard area located behind the propose house..
b. The proposed use would not be detrimental to public health, safety, or general welfare in that the proposed grading minimizes any impact to the adjacent properties and any retaining wall in close proximity to the adjacent properties will be constructed according to established engineering standards.
c. The proposed use of the property is in harmony with the various elements or objectives of the General Plan and the purposes of this Title in that the overall design of the project conforms with the applicable zoning regulations and is designed respectful of the large lot rural character of the neighborhood.
d. The proposed use as designed, will not cause a substantial adverse impact upon the environment, or the proposed use will provide public benefits which outweigh the substantial adverse impact upon the environment, in that allowing for the amount of grading in the rear of the lot, the proposed house can remain setback on the lot and the front portion of the lot can remain in a more natural state
Section 3. The City Council hereby finds as follows with respect to Tree Removal Permit to remove thirteen trees:
A. The Monte Sereno Municipal Code (“Code”) requires the following:
1. Pursuant to Code section 10.15.040 a Tree Removal Permit is required to remove certain trees based on species and size of the tree.
2. In accordance with Code section 10.15.070, no Tree Removal Permit may be issued unless certain specific findings can be made.
3. The City Council hereby makes the following findings:
a. The trees proposed to be removed are located in an area proposed for construction. Removal of these trees is necessary in order to allow reasonable economic enjoyment of the property.
b. The trees proposed to be removed will not impact erosion, soil retention and diversion or increased flow of surface waters. The proposed landscaping of the overall site will improve the erosion control, soil retention and diversion or increased flow of surface waters.
c. The removal of the trees will not affect the established standard of the area nor affect surrounding property values in that the property
includes an extensive landscape plan with additional trees to be planted on the property.
d. Removal will not affect the number of trees the property can support according to good forestry practices in that the site will be planted with replacement trees as part of a comprehensive landscape plan.
Section 4. Based upon the findings set out above, the City Council hereby determines, concludes and orders that the Site Development Permit, Grading Use Permit, and Tree Removal Permit are approved subject to the conditions of approval set forth in Exhibit A.
Section 5. The City Clerk is hereby directed to give notice of this decision to the Applicant by serving Applicant by first class mail, postage prepaid, with a copy of this resolution.
REGULARLY APPROVED this 20th day of May, 2025 by the following roll call vote:

Building Community
Thank you for your continued and generous support of the Art Docents of Los Gatos. Your partnership has helped sustain and grow our mission to bring quality art education to the students of the Los Gatos Union School District (LGUSD). We are proud to be part of a community that values not only academic excellence but also the enrichment that the arts bring to young minds.
For over 50 years, the Art Docents of Los Gatos have provided hands-on, standards-based visual arts education to nearly 3,000 students annually across all five LGUSD schools. Our curriculum includes five art lessons and one workshop per grade, from transitional kindergarten through fifth grade as well as workshops in middle school.
All of our lessons are taught by trained volunteers who generously give their time to inspire creativity, critical thinking, and self-expression in our students. All docents go through a comprehensive 10 week training program.
But we are more than just an arts education organization—we are a vibrant, intergenerational community of volunteers who come together around a shared passion for the arts and for serving the children of Los Gatos. Our members include parents, grandparents, retirees, artists, and art lovers from all walks of life, including many from Monte Sereno. Through our volunteer training program, docent socials, community events, and collaborative partnerships with local institutions like NUMU, The Whitney Modern, and Villa Montalvo, we foster a strong sense of belonging and shared purpose.
In recent years, especially since the pandemic, we have worked hard to rebuild our volunteer base and renew community engagement. Your funding helps us train new docents, refresh our curriculum materials, and continue offering free, high-quality art education that is accessible to every child in the district. It also allows us to invest in outreach efforts that welcome new members into our organization and strengthen community ties across Los Gatos and Monte Sereno. We are deeply grateful for your support and for the value you place on the arts and education. With your help, we will continue to nurture creativity in our students, foster meaningful connections among volunteers, and ensure that the arts remain a vital and celebrated part of our community.
How will your event build a sense of community?

AWO ̣respectfully requests $5,000 from the City of Monte Sereno Organization Grant Processto support the expansion of our Community Health Wellness For Huemanity program to serve individuals residing within Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, Saratgo and Santa Clara County.AWỌ is a registered charity: 87-3912985. Our Wellness for Huemanity program takes a holistic approach to healthcare. We work with social psychologists, board-certified music therapists, and professional musicians to design evidence-based assessments for measuring learned attributes within our rubric. This program has been a resounding success, proving to be best practice for addressing gaps in social integration, community engagement and access to individual quality healthcare, including mental health and holistic health.
Furthermore, our program has been designed for audience community members to use their learned skills to interact successfully and collaboratively with one another so community members connect more meaningfully, sharpen their inner leadership edge and feel empowered and whole. In all spaces we occupy we will offer year-round music therapy programming for individuals and small groups with virtual and in-person leadership and empowerment series options. We offer resource sharing and will accept drop-ins so those who require support get it. With the use of the power of music and the arts that include African drumming, lyrical analysis for empowerment and healing, singing & songwriting, movement and creative therapy for social, emotional, cognitive, communication, stress management and holistic goals, all provided in a nurturing client-therapist environment in which clients feel most comfortable expressing themselves safely and freely, Wellness For Huemanity is an excellent avenue for stress reduction, for promoting self-awareness and positive messaging through affirmative lyrics while building confidence in a shared future.
ABOUT AWỌ
AWỌ exists to advance social advocacy for all. The organization's programs are rooted in educating and creating awareness in local communities and utilizing the power of the arts and culture to curate fun, educational, and meaningful events or activities for individuals, youth and families in Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, Saratoga and Santa Clara County. Throughout the year, we put on different workshops, programs, events, and community forums that offer authentic context to rewrite individual stories and contributions. Our programs are designed to welcome everyone. In doing so, we dismantle the false narratives that keep people divided and unwilling to connect. AWỌ fosters self-empowerment, resilience, and healing; through our programming, services and consistent community outreach and engagement efforts. AWỌ is making a tangible difference across communities.
Founded in Los Gatos in 2020 by Folake Phillips, a Yoruba princess from Osun State in Nigeria,AWỌ, which means 'skin and color' in Nigeria's Yoruba language, is a nonprofit organization that
offers inspiring programs, community outreach events, and workshops. Our initiatives aim to unite groups, bridge divides and build community through innovation, the arts & culture and creative opportunities that enhance wellbeing, fosters community building and engagement through a vast array of shared narratives, empowerment workshops and curated music therapy sessions. AWỌ was founded to bring people together in a safe space. For
creative exchange, and connection in order to promote the central principle that everyone counts. Fostering this principle requires the elimination of destructive attitudes and behaviors that
harm and marginalize others. Equally important are the communal efforts needed to address tension, stress from issues arising from a climate of dischord, misunderstandings and disagreements, underscoring the urgency and importance of this program's mission.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
AWỌ's community efforts have been recognized with a recent award of a community space by the Town of Los Gatos and the County of Santa Clara. We seek funding for the unique and innovative Wellness For Huemanity program which aims to significantly improve community health outcomes by addressing root causes. Linked to factors such as trauma, stress, uncertainty and isolation. Many individuals experience a sense of despair, anxiety and require an outlet that centers individual needs or enhanced organic small groups offerings that include added peer support when needed.
This is a pressing issue that demands our collective immediate attention. AWỌ's commitment to addressing health and wellness needs in a socially integrated context that builds and strengthens community bonds is significant. Beyond outreach events in the community, our work also focuses on those individuals facing unique barriers who feel willing and ready to utilize available programs and services to improve their health outcomes within their natural environment. The impact of our innovative program is not just local but has the potential to make a significant difference on a larger scale thus, contributing to a more robust community healthcare system. We use awareness and access to services for community building, strengthening personal awareness and finding common ground in order to improve quality of life and meet social needs at a time we are still evolving out of the pandemic, facing anxiety from a myriad of experiences and increased sense of belonging. In all spaces we occupy we will offer 6-8 weeks music therapy programming forindividuals and small groups with virtual and in-person leadership and empowerment series. We offer resource sharing and accept drop-ins so those who require support get it. With the use of the power of music and the arts that include African drumming, lyrical analysis for empowerment and healing, singing & songwriting, movement and creative therapy for social, emotional, cognitive, communication and holistic goals, all provided in a nurturing client-therapist environment in which clients feel most comfortable expressing themselves safely and freely, Wellness For Huemanity is an excellent avenue for stress reduction, for promoting self-awareness and positive messaging through affirmative lyrics while building confidence in a shared future.
Research studies, with the most profound effects found in groups that were run with a music therapist, continue to support that music therapy can make the difference between withdrawal and awareness, isolation and interaction, chronic pain, and comfort. Between demoralization, humanization, and dignity. Thus, helping to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms, promoting healing through emotional regulation, and improving the immune system is crucial for individuals - all to support mental and holistic health and protect against sicknesses and diseases.
In addition to music therapy services in individual and small group settings, we will directly offer related and interconnected virtual personal development and empowerment workshops tailored to unique needs and challenges. We will provide and equip individuals with a holistic approach to their healthcare needs by using practical group-enhancing activities such as shared narratives, safe and open communication, singing, drumming, and percussion playing, coffee ceremonies, cooking sessions, music in outdoor and stewardship-inspired activities, and meditation to address the mechanics of physical and mental health crucial to overall well being.
This comprehensive approach to health and wellness sets our program apart and ensures that all aspects of an individual's health are addressed.
In partnership and collaboration with organizations such as Ujima Adult & Family Services, El Camino Hospital Los Gatos, Grassroots Ecology, RCCG (Redeemed Christian Church of God Silicon Valley), Presbyterian Church of Los Gatos, NCN (Northern California Nigerians), and
more, AWỌ will connect community members with local resources. With your assistance, support, and partnership, we will conduct outreach and educational programs that link beneficiaries to services that may otherwise be underutilized, making you an integral part of this collective effort to improve community health in Santa Clara County.

Building Community
We are grateful to the City of Monte Sereno for its continual support of KCAT TV’s programs and services which directly impact your residents. This year about 20% of our campers so far reside in Monte Sereno, and we are proud to share that more adults 55+ from Monte Sereno are volunteering and engaging with KCAT than ever before. In addition, KCAT has recruited the Monte Sereno Youth Commissioners to start a podcast which they were really excited about.
KCAT’s biggest fundraiser, OktoberFest LG, has become a community tradition, having grown from 750 attendees in its first year (2022) to 2,000 + attendees last year raising $132,300. We would be thrilled to have The City of Monte Sereno return as a sponsor of the 4th annual OktoberFest on September 13, 2025, Noon - 8:30pm at the Los Gatos Civic Center Plaza.
OktoberFest is an annual family-friendly hometown event that brings the community together to kick off the fall season and enjoy a Bavarian cultural experience with authentic food, drinks, games and dancing to a beloved German band followed by a dance party. This day of festivities raises funds for KCAT’s yearround multimedia camps and classes designed to educate, engage, and give voice to hundreds of youth and teens. KCAT’s ‘FREE 2b ME’ media arts program for youth boasts a creative curriculum with no grades, no tests, and no stress, which uplifts students and supports positive mental health and wellness. KCAT’s unique programs attract kids of all backgrounds, cultures and neurodiverse communities who travel to our Los Gatos studio from as far as San Mateo and Gilroy. Our emphasis on cross-generational mentorship sets us apart: KCAT engages our 55+ community as tech pros, content creators, and guest teachers; plus, we mentor and hire high school and college students as counselors and leaders who in turn mentor students and teach them employable skills, such as: running live TV and radio shows, scriptwriting, journalism, directing, acting, cinematography, editing and distribution. Our staff of high school and college students benefit enormously in our resume-building training program where they have secured exceptional jobs and admittance to top colleges and universities, with most returning to KCAT year after year to pay it forward.
By supporting OktoberFest with a $5,000 sponsorship, the City of Monte Sereno will play a major role in helping us uplift youth and teens through engagement in ongoing media projects, plus provide much needed scholarships to underserved students that would thrive in our media playground. Something magical happens when kids put on their podcast headsets or have a microphone in their hands; they talk about what matters to them and become visibly excited while focused on learning something new. We have seen benefits firsthand—youth engaging in activities with a sense of purpose, feeling successful and achieving their goals; embracing their creativity, verbally or technically; alleviating anxiety or stress coming from a school environment with GPAs; and learning how to be productive. In summer 2024, KCAT educated 310 children in media arts, culminating in a sold-out film festival at our local theater. Our digital media arts camps fill up year after year, and with the City of Monte Sereno’s support, we can offer our ‘FREE2bME’ program to more students all year round.
OktoberFest also creates a community of volunteers who are welcomed with open arms, many of whom were from Monte Sereno last year. We provide shift opportunities for at least 25 to 50 volunteers on the day of the event. We value and appreciate our volunteers and take the time to ensure they have a meaningful experience. We will, again, host a dinner/walk thru the day before where each volunteer learns about their role, and receives their t-shirt, food/drink wristband, and a map – plus they get to know each other. Volunteers spoke, and we listened to their invaluable feedback which will make OFest 2025 even better. We received an outpouring of emails from volunteers who thanked us for making them feel appreciated.
As a $5,000 Oktoberfest sponsor, The City of Monte Sereno will be highlighted on TV, radio, social media platforms and print materials beginning June 1, plus:
Logo displayed on all pre- and day of event signage
Logo on our famous “Oktoberfest Pretzel” shirts
Logo featured on the OktoberFest Sponsor Recognition Wall Logo will be included in the OFest map brochure handed out to thousands of attendees Stage recognition multiple times by the Emcee
Tapping of the ceremonial keg on the stage!
And more…
Thank you for the opportunity to apply for a grant; we appreciate and value your city and all you do for the community.
How will your event build a sense of community?
I agree.
