Dear Friends,
The Golden Rule in the National Transportation Policy is "efficiency." So, why do we force motorists and taxpayers to subsidize to most inefficient transport available to us: public sector transit.
How many Grand Jury Reports are ignored, get shoveled under the rug? How badly should we shaft motorists to keep empty bus seats moving? Why do we pretend that public sector transit is efficient? If it was a horse, we would shoot it.
Why don't the elected people tell the unelected "delegates," directors of the transit agencies, that we must reverse course? Fraud, waste and abuse at the transit agencies undermines our goal of efficient transportation. It's time for a change. Give us truth in transportation. It's long overdue.
Caveat viator.

2008-2009 SANTA CLARA COUNTY
CIVIL GRAND JURY REPORT
1 SANTA CLARA
VALLEY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY
TAKING THE PUBLIC FOR A RIDE
Summary
The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) is a multi-billion dollar enterprise whose scope encompasses all matters of transportation, both public and private in Santa Clara County, and influences transportation decisions throughout the San Francisco Bay Region and the State of California. In the past five years, a number of reports have been issued that are critical of VTA. These reports raised issues related to organizational focus, project planning and monitoring, financial uncertainty and governance. This Grand Jury decided to investigate how VTA is doing with respect to these issues.
Recent events demonstrate that there remains a lack of responsiveness and accountability to the public. Existing policies and procedures have been corrupted, circumvented, or otherwise rendered ineffective. VTA has failed time and again to encourage dialog, has obscured facts and occasionally even stifled debate. The more one learns about how VTA executes its mission, the lower the confidence level in the Board’s ability to manage the agency.
This report details specific examples of these concerns and recommends actions that can be implemented rapidly and easily. Unless the issues raised in this report and previous reports are corrected, the VTA will remain unaccountable to the residents of Santa Clara County and will fail to fulfill its broad obligations.
Background
This section provides an overview of the VTA Board, committee structure and membership, and recent ballot measures that provide funding for VTA programs. Many of the issues in this report relate to VTA’s management of 2000 Measure A and other ballot measures.
VTA Board Organization
The VTA Board of Directors has 12 voting members, five alternates and two ex-officio members. The allocation of Board representation is generally based on population.
The 12 voting members include five San Jose City Council members and two County Supervisors.
2 The remaining five voting members are chosen by the other 14 cities, based on a complex inter-city agreement that expires in 2009.
• One city council member rotating between Gilroy, Milpitas and Morgan Hill • One city council member rotating between Campbell, Cupertino, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno and Saratoga
• Three city council members chosen from Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Mountain View, and Palo Alto
Board members serve a term of two years. At any one point in time, nine cities are not represented.
VTA Committee Structure
The VTA Board of Directors has four standing committees: Administration and Finance Committee, Audit Committee, Congestion Management and Planning Committee and Transit Planning and Operations. Each committee is composed of at least four Board members.
There are five Advisory Committees that support the work of the Board of Directors:
Policy Advisory Committee (PAC), Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), Committee for Transit Accessibility, Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee and Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC). The CAC also serves as the 2000 Measure A Citizens Watchdog Committee (CWC).
This report will focus on the Citizen’s Advisory Committee because of its dual role. The committee has 17 members, none of whom may be elected officials. These citizenvolunteers are selected as follows:
• Six members represent geographic areas.
o San Jose chooses two.
o The County Board of Supervisors chooses one.
o Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Mountain View, Palo Alto Santa Clara and Sunnyvale choose one.
o Campbell, Cupertino, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno and Saratoga choose one.
o Gilroy, Milpitas and Morgan Hill choose one.
• Six members are selected by the Administration & Finance Committee from nominations submitted by advocacy groups or received at large, representing each of the following:
o senior citizens
o disabled persons
3 o mass transit users
o environmentalists
o bicyclists
o pedestrians
• One member is chosen by each of the following:
o Silicon Valley Leadership Group
o Homebuilders Association of Northern California
o National Association of Industrial and Office Properties o South Bay AFL-CIO Labor Council
o Santa Clara County Chamber of Commerce Coalition
Each nominee must be approved by the Board.
2000 Measure A
In 2000, the voters of Santa Clara County approved a new ½ cent sales tax, to take effect on April 1, 2006 (the day after the expiration of the 1996 Measure B ½ cent sales tax), for a term of 30 years (to March 31, 2036). The proceeds from this tax were to be used only to:
• Extend BART from Fremont through Milpitas to Downtown San Jose and the Santa Clara Cal-train Station;
• Connect San Jose International Airport to BART, Caltrain and light rail; • Extend light rail from downtown San Jose to the east valley; • Purchase low floor light rail vehicles;
• Improve Caltrain: double track to Gilroy and electrify from Palo Alto to Gilroy;
• Increase Caltrain service (new locomotives and additional facilities to improve service);
• Construct a new Palo Alto Intermodal Transit Center;
• Improve bus service in major bus corridors;
• Upgrade Altamont Commuter Express;
• Improve Highway 17 express bus service;
• Connect Caltrain with Dumbarton Rail Corridor;
• Purchase zero emission buses and construct service facilities; • Develop new light rail corridors;
• Fund operating and maintenance costs for increased bus, rail and paratransit service.
4 Measure A also provided for an independent Citizens Watchdog Committee (CWC) to review the VTA’s expenditures on the projects. It specified that this CWC would consist of private citizens, not elected officials (the underline was in the official ballot text), and that this committee would be comprised of the existing VTA Citizen’s Advisory Committee (CAC). The CWC responsibilities are:
• Hold public hearings and issue reports, on at least an annual basis, to inform citizens how funds were spent
• Perform annual independent audits each fiscal year to ensure tax dollars were spent in accordance with the intent of the measure • Publish the audits and annual reports in local newspapers with document copies available to the public at large.
2000 Measure A Today
VTA has clearly established BART as the priority project in an environment in which the county is experiencing an unprecedented financial crisis, a deep recession, uncertain credit markets and declining sales tax revenue, all of which are expected to remain into the foreseeable future. One project was completed in 2004 (the purchase of low-floor light rail vehicles) using funds borrowed prior to the inception of sales tax collection.
Active work is being carried out on Bus Rapid Transit along key corridors such as Alum Rock, as well as Caltrain enhancements in South County.
The Eastridge light rail extension, which is shovel-ready, is on hold. Measure A tax revenue is no longer allocated to this project. It may potentially qualify for federal funds as part of a future stimulus package. To this end, VTA is revising the Environmental Impact Reports to meet federal guidelines. This is the only work being done on this project at this time.
The fate of the rest of the projects remains uncertain.
November, 2008 Ballot Measures
In August, 2008, the VTA Board placed three measures on the ballot for the November, 2008 Election.
Measure B authorized a 1/8 cent sales tax to support operation of the BART extension to San Jose/Santa Clara. The tax is to begin only after sufficient funding from the state and federal governments is secured to match local funds to construct the 16.1 mile BART extension.
Measure C was an advisory vote. It asked the voters to approve the Valley Transportation Plan (VTP) 2035 – a long-range transportation plan. Under 1976 Measure B, the electorate must approve a long-range transportation plan at least every six years.
5 Measure D was to amend the 1976 Measure B to vest approval of the long-range transportation plan in the 2000 Measure A Citizens Watchdog Committee. This would save the cost of placing an approval measure on the ballot every six years.
All three measures passed.
Recent Reports on VTA
Recently, investigations of VTA governance and financial management have resulted in three separate reports:
• 2003-2004 Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury: “Inquiry Into the Board Structure and Financial Management of the Valley Transportation Authority” • “Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Organizational and Financial Assessment,” Hay Group, March 2007
• “Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority: It Has Made Several Improvements in Recent Years, but Changes Are Still Needed.” July 2008 Report 2007-129, California State Auditor
The 2003-2004 Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury investigated VTA’s Board structure and financial management. It concluded that the VTA “Board is too large, too transient, and too occupied with other duties to provide direction and effective oversight to the staff in running VTA.” It also concluded that the VTA Board “has proceeded with a transit capital improvement plan that cannot accomplish all that was promised in Measure A.”
With the advent of a new General Manager, the VTA commissioned the Hay Group to assess and evaluate the effectiveness of its governance and organizational structures, financial capacity and performance against goals and objectives. The Hay Group report found that the Board faces
“a number of significant challenges that need to be addressed in order for the board to satisfy its responsibilities and function effectively as a regional decisionmaking body.” Moreover, the Hay Group concluded that the Advisory Committees “have found their opportunity to help shape and recommend policy has been diminished” (and that they do not) “have a mission with clear goals and objectives articulated.”
The Hay Group also found that
“VTA does not have the financial capacity to meet its goals and objectives over the coming decade.”
6 The Hay Group report proposed a comprehensive overhaul of VTA’s organization and practices.
The State Auditor’s report noted that VTA has attempted to improve its governance structure. However, the State Auditor concluded that VTA has not enhanced the operation of its five advisory committees and has not completely changed the way it engages the advisory committees in the deliberative process as stated below:
“Thus, even as VTA attempts to reform its governance structure, it continues to follow a practice the Hay Group report specifically criticized; namely, advisory committees do not have an opportunity to consider policy and plans in the early stages of development so they can provide meaningful input to VTA staff and the board. Consequently, VTA continues to miss opportunities to gather diverse ideas and build regional consensus for its proposals.” Discussion
Role of the VTA Board in VTA Management
Board Composition. Much has been said and written about the composition of the VTA Board over the past five years. The 2003-2004 Grand Jury report found that the VTA Board was “too political” and recommended a change in the structure. The VTA rejected this recommendation. The Hay Report made a number of recommendations that would improve the VTA Board’s ability to exercise its responsibilities with “reasonable care and loyalty.”
Lack of Regional Focus. VTA board members do not always take a regional perspective or focus on what is best for the county as a whole. Interviews with board members yielded unsolicited complaints that other board members support VTA projects only for their local area. No one felt they were guilty of the behavior themselves, just their fellow members.
City Representation. As the largest city in the county, San Jose, with five members on the Board, dominates the Board. These individuals can and frequently do serve multiple terms. The same applies to the two members from the County Board of Supervisors. In contrast, the 14 remaining cities are dispersed in three groupings, subject to a rotation within each grouping every two years. The practical result is that acquired transportation knowledge and experience tends to vest in the two members from the county and the five members from San Jose. On the other hand, members from the other cities are termed out every two years, resulting in the loss of accumulated transportation knowledge and experience unless these cities reach a collective agreement. Recently, the West Valley cities made a separate agreement to allow one member city (Cupertino) to continue on the Board when their term expired.
For a Board that is pledged to have a countywide outlook irrespective of city boundaries, the current structure of representation does not promote this ideal and lends itself to the question of just where allegiances should lie.
7 A governance proposal from a subcommittee (established by the Board) charged with updating how Board members are chosen from the 14 cities in the county (other than San Jose) resulted in petty bickering between north county and south county representatives, heavy-handed repression by VTA staff and was ultimately shuffled to the Audit and Finance Committee for burial. A resolution is required by the end of 2009 when the current scheme expires.
Lack of Transportation Experience. Recent reports on VTA governance have documented that new board members have no previous experience in the transportation arena. Board members’ terms are for two years and may or may not be renewed. By the time a Board member is familiar with the issues facing VTA their term is expiring. As a consequence, the VTA Board is not effective in directing VTA staff or making well-informed decisions.
Overwhelming Information. The voluminous board packets provided by VTA staff are frequently several hundred pages and contain information that require many hours of review by the board members before the meeting. Most board members work full time, which leaves them very little time to review the material in the packet. Some members stay up late at night to review the packet the night before the meeting. An exception is the City of San Jose, and Board of Supervisors, who have full-time, paid staff to review and distill the information. The other cities have part-time city council members with no support staff to help with VTA activities.
Staff Driven. All of the above issues contribute to the fact that VTA remains an organization that is frequently referred to as “staff driven.” Meeting agendas are prepared by VTA staff with input from the Board chairperson. In some cases, the chairperson follows a “script” prepared by VTA staff. Interviews with VTA board and committee members revealed that independent thinking was discouraged. Board members appear unwilling or unable to bring up items for discussion that are not prescreened by the staff. Hence, the VTA Board has frequently been referred to as a “rubber stamp” for policy proposals formulated by the VTA staff.
Role of Advisory Committees in VTA Governance
Token committees. Both the Hay Report and the State Auditor Report took the VTA to task for poor use of its Advisory Committees. This Grand Jury uncovered examples that support this conclusion. These committees exist to advise the Board on policy or technical issues. One of the key criticisms is that the Advisory Committees are presented with items to review only after the Board and/or staff has already made a decision. Thus, the Advisory Committee is only asked to bless the decision after the fact. VTA’s attitude toward these committees has ranged from ignoring their existence entirely to retaliation for independent thinking. During interviews some board members were unable to identify committee members or even the names of the committees. One advisory committee member, responding to the question of whether the Board provided direction to the committee, said “The Board does not even know we exist.”
8 Board – Committee Communication. The VTA Board communicates with the advisory committees through an intermediary – the VTA staff. The VTA staff sets the work plan and agenda for advisory committee meetings based on the staff requirements for upcoming Board meetings. The output from the advisory committee meetings is communicated back to the Board by the Board “accepting” the minutes of the advisory committee meeting, usually as part of the consent agenda. Recently, the chairperson of the Citizens Advisory Committee (along with the chairperson of the Policy Advisory Committee) has been invited to make a short presentation at each board meeting – essentially reading the details of the minutes of the previous CAC and PAC meetings to board members who have not been able to read them.
PAC and CAC: Committee views not valued. The Grand Jury saw little evidence that the opinions of PAC and CAC are well considered and play any role of significance in the decisions made by the VTA Board. VTA staff channels issues to the advisory committee most appropriate to handle that issue, such as the Bicycle-Pedestrian Advisory Committee or the Committee on Transit Accessibility. Membership of both of these committees includes individuals interested in their particular area. On the other hand, the Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) and Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) are more broad-based. PAC is the only place in VTA governance where there is equal representation for each city without an overwhelming advantage to San Jose. It frequently serves as a breeding ground for new Board members. The role of PAC and CAC is to review and comment on policy proposed by VTA staff before that policy is brought before the VTA Board.
The VTA Board has recently formed ACE, the Advisory Committee Enhancement Committee, to develop a new structure and methodology by which the Advisory Committees can start to provide some form of useful service to the Board.
Role of the CAC/CWC in VTA Governance
CAC vs. CWC. The CAC advises the Board on matters of VTA policy. The CAC may only consider matters referred to it by the Board or General Manager/staff. The CAC was chartered by 2000 Measure A as an Independent Citizen’s Watchdog Committee (CWC) for the 2000 Measure A funds.
The same group of citizens is assigned to both committees.
The CAC has no independent duties and no authority to take actions that bind VTA or the Board. The CAC does not have the authority to communicate to the public. On the other hand, the same people, serving as the CWC, have the duty to communicate to the public, hold hearings, issue reports, conduct an independent annual audit, and publish the results directly to the public without review or approval by the Board or staff.
Since the passage of Measure D in November, 2008, the CWC also has the responsibility to review the VTA long-range transportation plan every six years.
9 CWC Performance
Since its inception in July, 2006 the CWC has issued three reports to the public:
• A report summarizing Measure A activity up to June, 2006 (3 pages) • A report summarizing Measure A activity for FY2007 ending June 2007 (3 pages)
• An audit for FY2007 performed by the VTA auditor (VTD), as opposed to a special, independent auditor retained by the CWC.
In addition, VTA Staff released an audit for FY2008 performed by the VTA auditor (VTD) without review or approval by the CWC. The “independent” audit by the auditor retained by the CWC is yet to be published. The FY2008 status report is yet to be published.
The CWC reports to the public have been neither comprehensive, timely nor complete.
What’s Wrong with the Citizens Watchdog Committee?
There are several issues with the CAC/CWC combination that greatly reduce the effectiveness of this body when operating as the CWC. Under the structure provided by the original ballot measure, the CAC/CWC does not function independently or as a watchdog committee.
1. The members of the CAC/CWC interviewed all stated they work for the VTA Board. This is a reasonable position for a CAC member, but not when acting in the capacity of a CWC member. The very nature of an “independent watchdog committee” is to “oversee” actions of the board for the citizens of Santa Clara County.
2. CAC/CWC members are approved by the VTA Board, compromising independence of thought and action.
3. Some CAC/CWC members are former VTA Board members, former Policy Advisory Committee members and/or former elected officials in the county. One interviewee referred to the committee as the “Board Retirement Plan Committee.”
4. Many CAC/CWC members complained and confirmed that the VTA staff shows them little or no respect. The VTA staff does not return their calls or answer their questions.
5. Just as the Board members are overwhelmed by the Board packet, many committee members interviewed referenced needing to set aside up to ten hours to prepare for meetings.
10 6. Members of the committee do not control their own agenda. The agenda for CAC/CWC meetings is set by VTA staff, along with input from the CAC/CWC chairperson.
7. Committee members, in their CAC capacity, represent various stakeholders in the county and advise the Board on issues involving their particular areas of interest. They are then expected to switch hats during the course of a single monthly meeting and perform CWC functions that should be seen as both independent and vital to the public interest as a whole, not to specific stakeholders. A conflict of interest is present, whether actual or perceived, in the discharge of their duties as a member of the CWC. The public deserves a watchdog function free of bias. The public expects a sentinel guard dog, not a lapdog.
The conflict and problems with the CAC/CWC combination are not surprising given that the by-laws for this CWC were written by VTA staff, incorporated into the existing CAC bylaws and approved by the Board.
Revenue and Expenditure Plan Update Cancelled
In June, 2006 the Board approved a comprehensive 30-year Revenue and Expenditure Plan for all projects identified in 2000 Measure A. During 2008, an update to this plan was scheduled. Sometime between June 19, 2008 and August 7, 2008, this update was cancelled and a decision was made to place an additional tax on the November, 2008 ballot.
The plan projected sales tax revenue at $10.58B from Measure A and noted that additional revenue sources would be necessary, not all of which were identified. An additional sales tax of ½ cent was proposed to the voters in November, 2006 but was rejected. In its first full year of collections (FY2007), Measure A 2000 brought in $161.4 Million. In its second full year, ending in FY2008, the collections dropped slightly to $160.5 Million.
The total program cost was projected to be $21.57B (in year of expenditure dollars).
Notably, the single largest project was BART, which alone accounted for $6.2B in estimated year of expenditure dollars.

In order to begin Measure A programs in advance of tax collection, VTA issued anticipation bonds. $445M in proceeds from bond sales, which has to be repaid from Measure A revenue, was already on the books before a single dollar of tax was collected. By June 30, 2008 Measure A long-term debt was still $371.8M. Debt service cost over the life of Measure A was projected to be in excess of $2B in the 2006 Revenue and Expenditure Plan.
At its April, 2008, meeting, VTA General Manager Michael Burns introduced the proposed process and guidelines to update the 2000 Measure A Revenue and Expenditure Plan. Concurrently, the Board was in the process of making key decisions on the BART project, the Eastridge light rail extension, and the Caltrain double-track to Gilroy. Approval of the updated Revenue and Expenditure plan was tentatively set for September 4, 2008.
12 In an April 28, 2008, San Jose Mercury News article, Mr. Burns advised that his agency relied on overly optimistic scenarios that it could fund the $20+ Billion in transit improvements. He conceded that the current expenditure plan does not work and that it was clear that all projects could not be afforded.
At its June 11, 2008 meeting, the Downtown East Valley Policy Advisory Board was told by VTA staff that the Capitol Light Rail Extension to Eastridge had completed the design phase but was being suspended pending the updated Revenue and Expenditure plan.
Particularly noteworthy was the fact that VTA staff suspended the project without prior Board authorization.
In a memo to the Downtown East Valley Policy Advisory Board dated June 19, 2008, the General Manager reconfirmed the schedule of the planned update to the Revenue and Expenditure Plan.
At the August 7, 2008 VTA Board meeting, several significant events occurred:
• Mr. Burns advised that the Light-Rail Extension to Eastridge “has not been stopped but that there is not enough money to complete all of the Measure A projects. . .” The Board “reaffirmed” its support for the project and recommended continuation of planning and design activities. However, property acquisition, utility relocation construction and completion of bid documents for construction contracts were not authorized. • Measure B to increase sales tax by 1/8 cent to be used for BART operating costs was placed on the November ballot.
• The staff presented a report to the Board supporting the sufficiency of the 1/8 cent tax proposal to cover the projected deficit in BART operating costs. The conclusion was based on a new 30-year sales tax revenue estimate. This report also provided sufficient information to update the revenue estimate in the new Revenue and Expenditure Plan.
The September, 2008, scheduled presentation of the update to the Revenue and Expenditure Plan was not delivered and never rescheduled. The VTA Board made no effort to determine the status of the plan or if there would be significant disruption or cancellation of Measure A projects. As a consequence, the public was not informed of the 2000 Measure A 30-year financial situation before the November 2008 election.
At a Board Workshop on December 4, 2008, approximately one month after the election, and in the face of sales tax revenue uncertainty, it was decided to forego a full 30-year plan for Measure A and to focus on a two-year capital expenditure plan. The two-year capital expenditure plan is to be made available in June 2009. It is expected to include capital expenditures for the BART extension and two other programs – BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) on the Alum Rock corridor and certain Caltrain enhancements in South County including double tracking to Gilroy. A notable exception in the preliminary documentation is the absence of any funding for the light rail to Eastridge program which appears to have become totally dependent on unidentified federal funding.
13 Since that time the VTA staff has responded to pressure from the Board and agreed to provide a ten-year outlook. This plan has yet to be delivered.
If the 30-year Revenue and Expenditure Plan had been updated as planned, it likely would have shown that if the BART extension were built as planned, the remaining 2000 Measure A projects would require massive additional investment by the state and federal government plus additional sales tax revenue from Santa Clara County. 2008 Measure B passed by approximately 700 votes above the 2/3 threshold required for passage. If the updated Revenue and Expenditure Plan had been readily available to the public, Measure B might not have passed. The VTA had sufficient time and information to complete this update and made a deliberate decision not to publish it prior to the election. The public deserves an explanation.
Light Rail to Eastridge Project Status
According to the Measure A Semi-Annual Report (internal) dated June, 2008, this project was to receive $276.8M of its $334.3M cost (83%) from Measure A tax revenue.
Now that virtually all Measure A tax revenue is being reserved for the shortened BART extension project, the light rail to Eastridge project has been put on hold until other funding sources can be identified. The only work currently being done on the light rail to Eastridge project is to modify the completed EIR to meet federal standards in the hope of receiving federal stimulus or other transportation funding in 2010.
Use of 2000 Measure A Funds for Non-Measure A Projects Puts Measure A Projects at Risk
The VTA Board has approved the exchange (swap) of approximately $107M of Measure A funds for use on non-Measure A programs in exchange for a payback from anticipated State Transportation Improvement (STIP) funds at a future time. The payback from the state depends on state approval of two Measure A projects for state (STIP) funding, approval that is not guaranteed, especially in difficult budgetary times.
In addition, these programs are low on the Measure A priority list and may never be built.
Board approval of the swap was granted in two separate votes in February, 2007 and December, 2007. As of June, 2008, approximately $9M of Measure A sales tax revenue had been spent on non-Measure A programs. At the same time, the 2000 Measure A program was over $361M in debt, having issued bonds to pay for project development in advance of the receipt of sales tax revenue.
There was no prior discussion or notification to the Citizen Watchdog Committee. The CWC was informed after the fact in a report from VTA staff.
14 One key Citizen Watchdog Committee duty is to certify to the public that Measure A funds are only spent on Measure A projects. The CWC needs to make an informed decision about what constitutes spending on 2000 Measure A projects and determine whether the fund exchange meets the CWC’s definition of legitimate spending.
Furthermore, the CWC is obligated to inform the public of the fund exchange and expenditures in its reports to the public.
At its February 11, 2009 meeting, a discussion regarding the CWC’s responsibilities in this area was initiated by a CWC member and stifled by VTA staff in attendance by reminding the CWC members of the limitations in their responsibilities. The CWC did agree to ask their auditor to “assist the committee in its fiduciary role.” At and following this meeting two members of the CWC resigned, leaving a total of five vacancies.
November 2008 Ballot Measures
Several relevant facts should be noted with respect to the November, 2008 ballot measures:
• VTP 2035 Transportation Plan was first presented to the public eight days after the November, 2008 Election. At the time of the election, the voters were voting to approve a plan that none of them had seen. The plan was formally published in January, 2009.
• Measures C & D were approved for the ballot as part of the Consent Agenda. There was no debate or discussion regarding these Measures. • Measures C & D were not discussed at any Advisory Committee meetings prior to the vote of the VTA Board.
• The Citizens Watchdog Committee was unaware that the VTA Board was proposing to add responsibility to review and approve the long-range transportation plan every six years. It should also be noted that the CWC ceases to exist on June 30, 2036.
• The tax amount for Measure B (1/8%) was approved for the ballot on August 7, 2008, after selected Board members were briefed on a private poll conducted by Silicon Valley Leadership Group regarding opinions of the electorate with respect to additional tax for transportation purposes.
The poll indicated that a ¼% tax would not pass while a 1/8% tax might pass. VTA contracted with a private firm (AECOM) to justify the 1/8% level as sufficient. The report was delivered to the Board on August 4, 2008.
These items taken as a whole provide a picture of a Board that is rushed, overwhelmed and out of touch.
15 2008 Measure B Sales Tax – Promised 16.1 Miles, Delivering 2.2 Miles Of particular concern is that VTA intends to start collection of the Measure B tax while only completing a shortened version of the BART extension to Berryessa. The $750M federal funding that was planned to trigger the Measure B sales tax will now be used only to fund the first 2.2 miles with additional yet-unidentified funding required to complete the entire extension.
The ballot wording specifically refers to funding for the entire 16.1 mile BART extension.
At the August 7 board meeting, Michael Burns, VTA General Manager, said “. . . taxpayers would not be responsible to pay the tax unless there was a fully funded project.”
The rationale and financial analysis behind the tax were based on the costs and ridership associated with the full BART extension. The Board should ensure that this tax is not collected until full funding is identified for the entire 16.1 mile BART extension.
Conclusion
Reports cited earlier document that the Board has not lived up to its responsibilities.
Following its own investigation, this Civil Grand Jury concurs with these reports.
In reaching this conclusion, the Grand Jury has found that:
• The Board tolerates behaviors that do not encourage informed public debate about transportation and transit issues facing the county. • VTA staff develops plans internally with little or no public (or Board) input at the early stages. Information relevant to these plans is carefully controlled.
• The Board has taken a passive role, allowing VTA staff to control the Board, the CAC/CWC, other advisory committees and the public at large to minimize any influence or change of its internally developed ideas.
It is critical that citizens of Santa Clara County reach an informed consensus on transportation and transit policy. These are issues upon which reasonable minds can, and do, disagree. Free and open debate is essential to reaching a consensus. The VTA has, however, failed time and again to encourage such debate; to the contrary, VTA has obscured the facts and occasionally even stifled debate.
The recommendations of this report provide steps to enable the public, through the Board and through the CAC/CWC and other advisory committees, to regain the position of providing early, influential input into the VTA planning process.
16 Findings and Recommendations
Finding 1a
The term “watchdog” is a misnomer. The structure and composition of the CWC called for in 2000 Measure A, as well as how the CWC responsibilities are interpreted by VTA staff and the Board, prevents the CWC from performing its duties effectively.
Finding 1b
Although arguably the CWC may have technically complied with the minimum functions specified in Measure A, the CWC is failing the public by not providing reliable information to make intelligent decisions regarding transit in the county.
Recommendation 1a
The CWC should reevaluate its scope and expand its functions beyond the minimum standards stated in 2000 Measure A and operate as a true “watchdog” committee.
Recommendation 1b
The Board should provide the CWC with independent advisors, including legal counsel, to assist them in this effort.
Finding 2
The CWC is not independent. CWC members are appointed or have their appointment approved by the VTA board, the very people they are charged with overseeing. In other transportation agencies in California, citizen oversight bodies are appointed and/or approved by independent third parties (See Appendix A).
Recommendation 2a
The Grand Jury recognizes that the assignment of members of the CAC as the CWC is part of existing law and cannot be changed without a new ballot measure. However, the Board is at liberty to change the CAC bylaws and hence change who approves membership in this combined committee. The Grand Jury recommends that the Board change the bylaws so that the selection process is conducted by, and selections approved by an independent third party.
Recommendation 2b
Former elected officials should not be allowed to sit on the Citizens Advisory Committee to eliminate the possibility of bias from prior responsibilities.
17 Recommendation 2c
The CWC should have its own staff, independent of VTA staff, to set meeting agendas, coordinate project investigations, write reports and do other tasks assigned to the CWC.
Finding 3
The CWC is not in control of its own agenda. CWC bylaws do not explicitly allow members to participate in setting the agenda for their own meeting. Other VTA committees such as the Policy Advisory Committee have this explicit right. The CWC chairperson reviews the staff-proposed agenda in advance and can suggest changes.
Other members only view the agenda when formally published.
Recommendation 3
The bylaws should be amended to allow the CWC to prepare and set their own agenda without involvement of VTA Staff. If VTA Staff wishes to place an agenda item, they should consult with the CWC Chairperson, not the other way around.
Finding 4a
While meeting the minimum requirements, CWC reports to the public have not been comprehensive, timely, or complete. The CWC has published only two three-page status reports since its inception in July 2006. The financial audit for FY 2007 (June 2007) was conducted by an independent auditor retained by VTA staff, not an independent auditor retained by the CWC. In FY 2008, audits of 2000 Measure A expenditures will be conducted by BOTH an independent auditor retained by VTA and an independent auditor retained by the CWC.
The CWC has failed to take the opportunity to file more frequent reports on Measure A 2000 expenditures, such as monthly or quarterly reports.
Finding 4b
The CWC has failed to inform the public that the 2000 Measure A sales tax revenue is not sufficient to complete all of the Measure A programs, and federal and state funding has not been identified to fill the gap. This has been clear to VTA management for some time.
Recommendation 4a
CWC should independently decide on report frequency and content without VTA Staff involvement and supervision.
18 Recommendation 4b
No Recommendation.
Finding 5
The VTA staff has forced its own perspective on the CWC regarding committee roles and responsibilities. VTA staff dictates have stifled independent thinking on the part of CWC members.
Recommendation 5
The Board should direct VTA staff to revise its training materials and memoranda to include best practices of other transit agency watchdog committees and encourage the CWC to establish its own priorities and responsibilities. See Appendix A.
Finding 6
Board workplans and meeting agendas are developed primarily by VTA staff.
Recommendation 6
The VTA Board should prepare its own agendas and workplans. The Chairperson of the Board should consult with Board members, standing and advisory committees and VTA staff to formulate the agenda.
Finding 7
With the exception of members from San Jose and the County, Board members have inadequate staff support to fully participate in Board activities. The volume of information supplied to Board members can serve to obscure key issues that deserve focus.
Recommendation 7
The VTA Board should have its own staff, independent of VTA staff, to set meeting agendas, do project investigations, write reports, publish minutes and do other tasks required by the Board.
19 Finding 8
Both the Hay Report and the State Auditor Report recommended that the VTA Board make every effort to insure that new board members have transportation experience by appointing new members with previous transportation experience and reappointing members for multiple terms. Nevertheless the Mayor of San Jose recently appointed two new board members to represent San Jose who have no previous transportation experience.
Recommendation 8
New VTA Board members must have transit knowledge. The VTA Board should require at least one full year on the PAC or another VTA advisory committee prior to being appointed to the Board.
Finding 9
VTA failed to provide an updated Measure A Revenue and Expenditure Plan per their published schedule. As a result, voters were deprived of critical information necessary to make an informed decision regarding 2008 Measure B, an additional 1/8 cent sales tax to fund operating costs for a BART extension to San Jose / Santa Clara. The VTA had sufficient time and information to complete this update and made a deliberate decision not to publish it prior to the election. As a result, voters were never told that full funding for the BART extension would jeopardize the completion of the other Measure A projects.
Recommendation 9a
The VTA Board should explain why these facts were withheld from the public.
Recommendation 9b
In future elections, the VTA Board should ensure that VTA staff provides the public with a comprehensive explanation of the ramifications of each measure, including the impact on both capital and operating funds, projections and budgets, as well as the effect on other projects.
Finding 10
VTA effectively suspended the shovel-ready light rail extension to Eastridge, without informing the VTA Board or the CWC in advance. Additionally, they used evasive language to prevent the Board and the public from understanding the true status (“reaffirming” support) of the project. The people of East Valley deserve better from the representatives of San Jose on the VTA Board.
20 Recommendation 10a
The Board should amend the CAC/CWC bylaws to provide the CWC with the authority to review and make recommendations regarding any changes to the priority and status of all 2000 Measure A programs. This is a specific request over and above the responsibilities assigned by the 2000 Measure A ballot wording.
Recommendation 10b
The staff should not make unilateral changes regarding Measure A projects without prior CWC review and Board approval. Specific procedures should be put into place to assure that the VTA Board has reviewed and approved all changes to the scope, funding and schedule of Measure A projects before VTA staff proceeds.
Finding 11
The VTA Board approved Measure C and D to be placed on the November 2008 ballot as part of the consent agenda and without prior review by advisory committees. This occurred on the day prior to the deadline for the submittal of ballot measures for the November 2008 election.
Recommendation 11
The Board should ensure that ballot measures are submitted for Board approval on the regular agenda (never the consent agenda) after thorough review and discussion at both advisory and standing committee meetings.
Finding 12
The Board put 2008 Measure D on the ballot, assigning the responsibility for citizen review of future VTA long-range strategic plans to the CWC, without notifying the CWC of its intent to do so. In addition, the CWC will cease to exist on June 30, 2036, leaving the subsequent responsibility for review of the long-range plan in limbo.
Recommendation 12
The hastily implemented Measure D needs to be rethought before 2036. The Board should assign the responsibility for reviewing the long-range strategic plan to an organization that will remain in existence permanently.
21 Finding 13
The Board allowed Measure C to be placed on the November 2008 ballot asking voter approval of the VTP2035 plan when neither the Board nor the public had seen a draft of the full plan.
Recommendation 13
The Board should ensure that VTA’s long range strategic plans are thoroughly reviewed and vetted by the public prior to being offered for approval by whatever body is deemed responsible.
Finding 14
Measure A funds were used on non-Measure A projects. The Measure A fund exchange violates the 2000 Measure A ballot requirement that 2000 Measure A revenue was to be spent only on 2000 Measure A programs. But VTA believes it is entitled to use these funds for other programs as long as repayment is certain. It appears that there is in fact repayment uncertainty. Even though the initial $50M swap was approved in February 2007, the CWC certified (over the chairperson’s signature) in the FY 2007 2000 Measure A Status Report that all Measure A revenue was spent only on Measure A programs. It is clear that the CWC does not fully understand its responsibility with respect to this requirement.
Recommendation 14
The Board should give the CWC the opportunity to review all 2000 Measure A fund transfers. The CWC should point out such usage of funds to the public in their reports.
The CWC should make a public decision whether this usage of funds is consistent with the intention of the voters with respect to 2000 Measure A.
Finding 15
Measure B on the 2008 Ballot approved a 1/8 cent sales tax for BART operations. Tax collection is slated to start when the BART project receives full federal and state funding. However, VTA intends to start collecting this tax when only the first 2.2 miles of the BART project are funded, not the complete project.
Recommendation 15
The Board should consider the intention of the voters as well as the specifics of the ballot measure when considering this issue. This tax should only be collected when funding for the full 16.1 mile BART extension is obtained from the state and federal government.

Hi Chris,
I’m in the final throes of my masters program. Unfortunately, I have a mandatory class this spring that conflicts with our PRC meetings. As such, January 2023 will be my final meeting as a Parks and Recreation Commissioner.
I sincerely appreciate all of your work over the last 5 years (and more!). Thank you for educating me through all the intricacies of our City’s projects and programs. It’s been an absolute honor to serve on the PRC.
Please let me know if there is anything further needed from me.
Thank you,

MEETING DATE: January 11, 2023
PREPARED BY:
Cynthia Hasson, Assistant City Attorney
APPROVED BY: City Manager
ADOPT RESOLUTION RATIFYING PROCLAMATION OF LOCAL
EMERGENCY DUE TO WINTER STORM
RECOMMENDATION(S)
Adopt resolution ratifying the January 5, 2023 emergency proclamation due to the winter storm with heavy rain, high winds, and flooding in the City of Morgan Hill.
COUNCIL PRIORITIES, GOALS & STRATEGIES
City Council Ongoing Priorities
Enhancing Public Safety
Preserving and Cultivating Public Trust
2022-2023 Strategic Priorities
Fiscal Sustainability
REPORT NARRATIVE:
On Thursday, January 5, 2023, the City Manager/Director of Emergency Services proclaimed a local emergency due to the ongoing winter storm causing damage throughout the City of Morgan Hill. The storm commenced on December 31, 2022.
Heavy rains, high winds, and flooding have caused damage in several areas of the City.
Due to the extensive size of the storm, even the Governor of California proclaimed a state of emergency throughout California on January 4, 2023.
The emergency proclamation allows the City’s emergency operations team to issue orders and regulations necessary to protect public health and safety. The proclamation also allows the City to seek reimbursement for activities taken in response to the emergency. The City has had to expend extensive resources to support the protection of public infrastructure and to support the health and safety of its residents.
A local emergency may be declared during conditions of disaster or extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the City.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Inform
City staff is taking extensive action to inform residents about the storm threat, including frequent e-mail and social media updates and operating a 24/7 call center specific to the
3 storm.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
The Council could decide not to ratify the local emergency proclamation.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
None
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
The fiscal impact of the local emergency is unknown at this time, however, the City staff estimate costs in the tens of thousands. Proclamation of a local emergency may make the City eligible for emergency funds, but the exact amount of funds eligible for reimbursement is unknown at this time. An Initial Damage Estimate will be prepared and forwarded to the County.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
Not a Project: Continuing administrative or maintenance activities, such as purchases for supplies, personnel-related actions, general policy, and procedure making (except where the policies and procedures may result in a change to the physical environment).
Specific actions taken under the emergency proclamation may be subject to separate CEQA exemptions. No such actions are currently being proposed. In the event any actions are taken that could result in a change to the physical environment, those actions will be evaluated separately.
RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF MORGAN HILL RATIFYING THE ACTION OF THE

THE EXISTENCE OF A LOCAL EMERGENCY AND
CONTINUING SUCH EMERGENCY
WHEREAS, Chapter 2.44 of the Morgan Hill Municipal Code provides for a Civil Disaster and Emergency Organization; and

MEETING DATE: January 11, 2023
PREPARED BY:
Chris Ghione, Public Services Director
APPROVED BY: City Manager
ADOPT DROUGHT RELIEF GRANT RESOLUTIONS
RECOMMENDATION(S)
1. Adopt resolutions authorizing grant application, acceptance, and execution for the 2022 Urban Community Drought Relief Water Recharge Facility and Citywide Water Supply Capacity Projects; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute documents required to apply and accept the grants for the City.
COUNCIL PRIORITIES, GOALS & STRATEGIES
City Council Ongoing Priorities
Enhancing Public Safety
Maintaining and Enhancing Infrastructure
Advancing Regional Initiatives
2022-2023 Strategic Priorities
Fiscal Sustainability
Guiding Documents
Water System Master Plan
REPORT NARRATIVE:
The purpose of this item is to provide the Council with an opportunity to approve resolutions authorizing the City’s submission, acceptance, and execution of drought relief grants from the State of California.
The City is working expediently on necessary projects to increase water storage capacity citywide, and this grant would specifically address the construction of a new .85 MG storage reservoir near Dunne Avenue. This tank is intended to meet the current and future storage requirements for the City. It is also intended to provide additional water supply for emergency response on the eastern side of the City.
The City is also evaluating potential modifications to the Butterfield Drainage System, which may increase storm protection, support mandated storm water trash capture devices and provide groundwater recharge at the basin. This project focuses on the
4 Butterfield Channel Drainage Basin, with the conversion of an existing 96 Acre Foot detention basin to increase stormwater retention in an effort to enhance groundwater recharge during rainfall events. This change in purpose of the basin maximizes open space use, while mitigating costly land acquisition for regional recharge facilities. The City is still evaluating the requirements for this project and submission may not be possible. However, staff is recommending approval to meet grant timelines should submission be possible.
In June 2022, the State of California allocated a pool of funding to the California Department of Water Resources to award grants for drought relief efforts. Since the City is currently pursuing new infrastructure projects in response to the drought, applying for State funds makes sense and, if awarded, will enable the City to make these investments without impacting local water rates.
Staff recommends that the Council adopt the attached resolutions.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Inform and None
The City has met with residents near the proposed Holiday Reservoir on East Dunne Avenue for several years, discussing both benefits and potential impacts. The Butterfield Basin Project is a new project that staff in coordination with regional agencies has identified as a potential recharge facility, so at this time no engagement has occurred. Future engagement on both projects would occur prior to the projects moving forward.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
The Council could choose to decline to adopt one or both of the resolutions which would eliminate the opportunity for the grant application(s).
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
The Council previously approved the Water System Master Plan (December 15, 2021) and the current Capital Improvement Program (June 15, 2022), both of which include the Holiday Lake Reservior Project. While the Council has supported many investments in the City’s water system for decades, this is the first opportunity that the Council has had to consider a recharge facility project in particular.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
The City intends to request approximately $6 million in grant funding which will address
82.4% of the project's costs. Matching funds will be from the Water Impact Fund and/or the Water Fund. Applying for grant funds is an activity included in the work program of the Public Services Department.
4 CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
Not a Project
This is solely an administrative action at this time and the ultimate project is not wellenough defined to conduct an environmental analysis. If grants are obtained, CEQA review will be required as a component of awarding the construction project.

GLOSSARY AND ABBREVIATIONS
Government Code, Section
41004
California Government Code section 41004 states:
“Regularly, at least once each month, the city treasurer shall submit to the city clerk a written report and
accounting of all receipts, disbursements, and fund
balances. The city treasurer shall file a copy with the legislative body.”
Treasurer’s Reports The reports required by Government Code section 41004 may have various styles and titles. For purposes of this report, the Civil Grand Jury will refer to these reports throughout as "treasurer's reports."
Charter City Article XI, section 3(a) of the California Constitution authorizes the adoption of a city charter and provides that the charter has the force and effect of state law. Article XI, section 5(a), the "home rule" provision, grants to charter cities the ability to govern over "municipal affairs."
There are six charter cities in Santa Clara County: San José, Palo Alto, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Gilroy, and
Mountain View.
General Law City A general law city may only have a form of government authorized by state general law. A city that has not
adopted a charter is bound by the state’s general laws even with respect to municipal affairs.
There are nine general law cities and towns in Santa Clara County: Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Milpitas, Campbell, Monte Sereno, Cupertino, Saratoga and
Morgan Hill. The scope of this investigation is limited to general law cities.
GAAP Generally Accepted Accounting Principles: a set of accounting rules and standards established by the
accounting industry.
SHOW ME THE MONEY: FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY NEEDED
SUMMARY
General law cities in California are required to comply with California Government Code section 41004 (Section 41004), which states, “at least once each month, the city treasurer shall submit to the city clerk a written report and accounting of all receipts, disbursements, and fund balances.
The city treasurer shall file a copy with the legislative body.” The benefit of the law is to ensure financial accountability and public transparency as well as to foster better fiscal affairs. Treasurer's reports provide city councils with timely and accurate financial information necessary to make reliable and sound decisions.
The 2022 Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury (Civil Grand Jury) found that there is widespread noncompliance with this state requirement throughout Santa Clara County (County) by the general law cities. As of the date of this report, six of the nine general law cities1 in the County are noncompliant with this state law: Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Milpitas, Campbell, and Monte Sereno. Additionally, the City of Cupertino was initially noncompliant until the city took corrective action during the Civil Grand Jury’s investigation. The City of Saratoga and City of Morgan Hill were the only two cities compliant prior to the investigation.
Based on responses from city officials, the Civil Grand Jury determined that there is a widespread misunderstanding among these general law cities in the County regarding Section 41004 reporting requirements. The Civil Grand Jury recommends that the noncompliant cities – Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Milpitas, Campbell, and Monte Sereno – comply with Section 41004. 1 The Town of Los Altos Hills and the Town of Los Gatos are general law cities.

BACKGROUND
The State Legislature established the office of city treasurer by enactment of California Government Code, Title 4 - Government of Cities, Division 3 - Other Officers, Chapter 3 - City Treasurer. The statutory duties for city treasurers may generally be found in the following sections:
Section 41001: The city treasurer shall receive and safely keep all money the treasurer receives.
Section 41002: (a) The city treasurer shall comply with all laws governing the deposit and securing of public funds and the handling of trust funds in their possession; and (b) if the city has issued bonds, the city treasurer shall use a system of accounting and auditing that adheres to generally accepted accounting principles.
Section 41003: The city treasurer shall pay out money only on warrants signed by legally designated persons.
Section 41004: Regularly, at least once each month, the city treasurer shall submit to the city clerk a written report and accounting of all receipts, disbursements, and fund balances.
The city treasurer shall file a copy with the legislative body.
Pursuant to California Government Code section 36502, the city treasurer is an elective office.
California Government Code section 36508 and California Elections Code section 9222 permit cities to submit to the electors the question of whether the city treasurer position should be an appointive office. In that instance, the financial duties assigned by the state statutes to the city treasurer are transferred from an elected treasurer to an appointed officer if approved by the electorate. Only one general law city in the County, Morgan Hill, continues to have an elected city treasurer, who serves for four years. All other cities in the County have opted to assign city treasurer duties to senior administrative staff.

METHODOLOGY
Upon receiving a complaint regarding Government Code section 41004 noncompliance in Cupertino, the Civil Grand Jury decided to expand the investigation to review all nine general law cities in the County: Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Milpitas, Campbell, Monte Sereno, Cupertino, Saratoga, and Morgan Hill. From March to August 2022, the Civil Grand Jury began the process by polling these Cities to determine if they produced treasurer’s reports.
The Civil Grand Jury took the following steps:
• Contacted a total of 22 officials across nine cities who were responsible for tasks relevant to the topic of this report.
• Reviewed relevant sections of the California Government Code, California Elections Code, and examined the ordinances, policies, and memos of each city relevant to their city treasurer duties.
• Reviewed published city council and city committee agendas relevant to Section 41004. • Reviewed other relevant city documents, including but not limited to financial audits, city organizational charts, and relevant job descriptions.
• Verified the six most recent treasurer’s reports of each city, if submitted.
The Civil Grand Jury inspected the contents of each report to verify the inclusion of the required elements: monthly disbursements, receipts, and fund balances. The Civil Grand Jury also determined whether the reports were published at least once each month to be compliant with Section 41004.
It should be noted that most cities do not call their report “Treasurer’s Report.” Appendix A provides links to examples of compliant Section 41004 reports, showcasing variations in terms of report name, style, layout, and appearance.
The Civil Grand Jury used the 2011-2012 Solano County Civil Grand Jury report entitled “City Treasurer Functional Review” as a reference for this report.

INVESTIGATION
All interviews and email correspondence were designed to determine if general law cities complied with Section 41004. To be deemed compliant, a city must produce a financial document at least once each month that details all of the following: monthly disbursements, receipts, and fund balances – and must be filed with the legislative body. Six months of reports were requested to verify an existing track record. Data collection and verification took place from March to July 2022.
The results of this investigation are depicted in Table 1 below.

Los Altos Hills X
Los Gatos X
Milpitas X
Campbell X
Monte Sereno X
Cupertino X*
Saratoga X
Morgan Hill X
*During the investigation, Cupertino started complying with Section 41004.
There are a number of reasons for cities’ noncompliance:
• Some cities were under the impression that the Section 41004 mandate was a discretionary guideline.
• Others adopted the practice of other cities that did not produce the requisite monthly reports.
However, the primary error among the cities was that they produced abbreviated reports that omitted required information such as receipts, disbursements, and fund balances. Some of the deficient reports lacked substance, with abbreviated information presented without context or details.
The Civil Grand Jury believes there is no fiscal impact involved in complying with Section 41004.
Outside resources should not be required since existing staff already make some financial reports, collect this type of data, and should be able to produce treasurer’s reports. Therefore, each of the deficient cities can be compliant with minimal effort or burden.

Noncompliant Cities and Towns
Los Altos
The City of Los Altos does not have an elected city treasurer. Further, the Los Altos Municipal Code does not specifically state which official performs the duties of a city treasurer. Los Altos Municipal Code Section 2.01.060, however, provides that the city manager is the administrative head of the city and is specifically empowered “keep the council at all times fully advised as to the financial condition and needs of the city.” In the City of Los Altos, monthly treasurer’s reports are not prepared and submitted to the city clerk in accordance with Section 41004.
At the time of the Civil Grand Jury inquiry in June 2022, the City of Los Altos did not submit any treasurer’s reports. According to the City of Los Altos, Government Code section 37208 indemnified them from the Section 41004 mandate. However, the language of Government Code Section 37208 refers to payroll warrants or checks and makes no mention of the reporting required by Section 41004, which requires a report of “receipts, disbursements and general fund balances.” Moreover, the language of Government Code Section 37208 neither excuses a city from complying with Section 41004 nor makes any reference to Section 41004.
Further, the city erroneously noted that its Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) policy on financial reporting excused noncompliance with Section 41004 reporting requirements.
In 2015, the city adopted a “Financial Policy” that reads in part, “The city’s accounting and financial reports are to be maintained in accordance with GAAP.” GAAP accounting does not address the Section 41004 mandated requirements.
SHOW ME THE MONEY: FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY NEEDED
The Civil Grand Jury determined that the City of Los Altos does not produce treasurer’s reports and thus is noncompliant.
Los Altos Hills
The Town of Los Altos Hills does not have an elected city treasurer. The town’s Municipal Code is silent on who performs the duties of the treasurer; however, the Civil Grand Jury learned that the treasurer responsibilities fall to the director of administrative services.
The Civil Grand Jury received monthly treasurer’s reports in June 2022. Upon inspection, however, they contained only disbursements and lacked receipts as well as fund balances; thus the reports are incomplete and noncompliant.
Los Gatos
The Town of Los Gatos does not have an elected city treasurer. The town’s Municipal Code Section 2.30.035 delegates the responsibility of the treasurer and the ability to assign those duties to the town manager. The director of finance is responsible for the town’s financial matters. The Town of Los Gatos produces quarterly reports, not monthly reports as required by Section 41004.
While the disbursements, receipts, and fund balances are in the reports, they must be published at least once each month to comply with Section 41004. Because the production intervals are quarterly, the Town of Los Gatos is not in compliance.
Milpitas
The City of Milpitas does not have an elected city treasurer. Milpitas Municipal Code section VI1-3.02 vests the duties of a city treasurer with the city manager, who is empowered to appoint a city treasurer pursuant to Section VI-1-3.04. In the City of Milpitas, the finance director produces weekly disbursement reports, quarterly receipt and investment reports for the general and special districts’ funds, and annual reports for all other reporting.
At the time of inquiry in June 2022, the Civil Grand Jury noted well-prepared reports. However, the frequency of report submission does not meet Section 41004 criteria, which requires monthly reports. Reports showing all receipts, disbursements, and fund balances must be filed with the city clerk at least once each month. Due to submission infrequency, the City of Milpitas is not in compliance.
Campbell
In November of 2010, voters in the City of Campbell approved Measure O, which changed the office of the city treasurer (and city clerk) from an elected to an appointed office. The City of
SHOW ME THE MONEY: FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY NEEDED
Campbell’s Municipal Code is silent on who has officially assumed those duties.2 The Civil Grand Jury learned that the city’s finance director has the responsibilities of a treasurer and oversees the preparation of financial reports. The reports are prepared by the accounting clerk, reviewed by the finance manager and the finance director, and approved by the city manager for inclusion in the council packet.
At the time of inquiry in June 2022, 21 reports were submitted. The submitted documents had no payroll records and accounts payable balances with paid or disbursed funds. Additionally, the required information was not published at least once each month.
The City of Campbell’s submitted reports do not comply with Section 41004 because disbursements, receipts, and balances are not filed at least once each month.
Monte Sereno
The City of Monte Sereno does not have an elected city treasurer. The Monte Sereno Municipal Code section 2.04.010 designates the city manager as the director of finance and tasks the city manager with “performing all duties of City treasurer as set forth in Government Code sections 41000 et seq.” At the time of inquiry in June 2022, six treasurer’s reports were received by the Civil Grand Jury. While the reports did contain the required fund balances, the receipts and disbursements were not compliant with the Section 41004 requirement.
Compliant Cities
Cupertino
The City of Cupertino does not have an elected city treasurer. The City of Cupertino’s Municipal Code section 2.24.030 states:
The treasurer shall make monthly reports which conform to the requirements of Government Code Section 41004. Said reports shall be delivered to the City Council, city manager and made available for review by such other persons who may so request.
Until 2022, no staff member for the City of Cupertino had been preparing and delivering a monthly treasurer’s report to the Cupertino City council. However, during the Civil Grand Jury's 2 The City of Campbell’s Municipal Code does not appear to have been updated. The City of Campbell’s Municipal Code section 2.08.010 still states that the elected officers shall be those designated by general laws, which includes a city treasurer. Further, the code has other references to an elected city treasurer. (See Sections 2.16.040 [city treasurer compensation] and 2.16.010 [establishment of salaries].)
SHOW ME THE MONEY: FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY NEEDED
investigation, the belated monthly treasurer’s reports for January and February 2022 were published and placed on the Cupertino Audit Committee agenda.
The Civil Grand Jury recognizes the action taken by the City of Cupertino as soon as it was brought to their attention. The City of Cupertino is now compliant with Section 41004 as of March 2022, despite the stated history of not submitting the required reports.
Saratoga
The City of Saratoga does not have an elected city treasurer. The City of Saratoga Municipal Code section 2-20.035 states that the city manager shall serve as the city treasurer and be responsible for “other duties and responsibilities as required by law to be performed by the City Treasurer.” Thus, the city manager is responsible for the preparation and submission of monthly treasurer’s reports.
The Civil Grand Jury verified in June 2022 that regular monthly treasurer’s reports are filed with the City of Saratoga and are fully compliant with Section 41004. These reports can also be found by the public on the city’s website. An example is shown in Appendix A.
Morgan Hill
The City of Morgan Hill has an elected city treasurer. The treasurer, in conjunction with the finance director, prepares the treasurer’s reports.
The Civil Grand Jury verified in June 2022 that regular monthly treasurer’s reports are produced.
The reports contain all the required components of disbursements, receipts, and fund balances.
Thus, the City of Morgan Hill is compliant with Section 41004. A compliant Morgan Hill treasurer’s report is shown in Appendix A.
SHOW ME THE MONEY: FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY NEEDED
CONCLUSION
Within the County, there is widespread noncompliance with California Government Code section 41004 by the general law cities. The Civil Grand Jury commends the cities of Saratoga and Morgan Hill for being in full compliance and notes the City of Cupertino’s quick action to become compliant. The Civil Grand Jury recommends that the noncompliant cities of Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Milpitas, Campbell, and Monte Sereno comply with Section 41004. This is to be done by producing treasurer’s reports at least once each month containing the required disbursements, receipts, and fund balance information. The benefit of implementing this recommendation overshadows any limited cost impact since existing staff could compile the report. In short, there is great benefit in producing these reports, as they improve financial transparency to the residents of the cities.

AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AND AMEND, WHEN
NECESSARY, AN AGREEMENT FOR A BACKUP STORAGE AND
RECOVERY REFRESH PROJECT WITH CADENCE TEAM
RECOMMENDATION(S)
Authorize the City Manager to execute and amend, when necessary, an agreement for a backup storage and recovery refresh project with Cadence Team subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney in the amount of $174,100 including a contingency of $15,827.

REPORT NARRATIVE:
Background:
In May 2022, the City of Morgan Hill embarked on a Network Discovery project with Cadence Team. In June 2022, Cadence was awarded a network architecture and refresh project. The Cadence engineering team partnered with City of Morgan Hill’s Information Technology (IT) team and discovered the current storage solution has been out of coverage since 2021. Additionally, it was discovered that the current backup solution is not sufficient. The result of the engagement was an overview of what was discovered and a list of recommendations for the City of Morgan Hill which includes the
8 current challenges and proposal outlined below.
Current Challenges:
• Current systems not meeting regulatory recommended requirements • Hardware for the backup system is in a failing state
• No immutable (not able to be changed or altered) backups • No replication
• No resiliency
• Lack of business continuity
Proposal:
• New storage
• New backup system
• Professional services to ensure spin up of parallel environment and migration from old infrastructure to new infrastructure to transition with minimal downtime • Leverage existing California Multiple Award Schedules (CMAS#3-20-70-3296E) and National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO #AR3228) contracts
Cadence Team is a sole source vendor. The Cadence Team’s in-depth knowledge of the City’s network provides the City with the best solution to ensure there are no delays in services provided to our community. Morgan Hill Municipal Code Section 3.04.150 allows the City Council to make a sole source determination where required supplies or services are available from a single source as determined by the City's Purchasing Officer; and the determination has been made by the Purchasing Officer that Cadence Team is the only source for the required supplies and services based upon a review of available sources.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
This staff report serves to inform the community of the City’s desire to enter into a backup storage and recovery project with Cadence Team.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
Council could direct staff to seek and contract with an alternative provider; however, this will likely result in additional costs. Re-engaging another vendor to perform a backup storage and recovery recommendations would not only result in additional costs, but also pose significant delays due to supply chain issues, furthering our risk.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
The City of Morgan Hill has been leveraging Cadence Team for the purchase of hardware and maintenance contracts in 2020, 2021, and 2022.
8 The City purchased our firewalls from Cadence Team in 2020 and renewed the subscription services in 2021, adding an additional subscription service.
At the beginning of 2022, the City entered a multiyear renewal with additional features, so that each firewall would be identical in case of failover.
In March 2022, the City engaged Cadence Team for a network discovery project.
The City also leveraged Cadence in late 2022 to refresh the wireless infrastructure in City Hall and Council Chambers building.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
There is sufficient funding available for the one-time implementation cost. Future funding for the annual licensing fee will be included in the next budget development process in account 730.2520.42231.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
Not a project.
This agreement will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.

REPORT NARRATIVE:
On November 2, 2022, City Council approved a contract with Exeloo Corporation for the purchase of a prefabricated self-cleaning restroom for Galvan Park. As the approval was for the prefabricated restroom only, staff prepared plans and specifications to prepare and install the prefabricated restroom when it arrives in March 2023. The scope of work for this project includes the demolition of the existing restroom, grading, foundation, flatwork, utility connection(s), and assembly of the new prefabricated
9 restroom.
The bid opening was held on December 13, 2022 and three bids were received:
101 Builders, Inc. $143,350
Itech Solutions $144,600
McNabb Construction, Inc. $167,773
101 Builders, Inc.'s bid of $143,350 is approximately 4.5% lower than the engineer's estimate of $150,000. 101 Builders, Inc. is an experienced contractor and has the necessary qualifications to perform this project. Staff recommends the award of the contract to 101 Builders, Inc. in the amount of $143,350 with a 15% contingency for this project. The project is scheduled to commence in February 2023 and be completed by June 2023, pending any possible weather issues.
The plans and specifications are available for review on the City's webpage.
By completing this project prior to June 30, 2023, the City will be eligible to receive a grant reimbursement through the County of Santa Clara's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) of up to $300,000.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Inform
Prior to and during construction, this project will have weekly updates on social media and the City website. Additional outreach by contractor through letters and door hangers will also be provided.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
City Council may reject the bids for this construction contract and request the project be re-bid. Staff does not recommend this as an alternative as the restroom building is already on order and any delays to the project may jeopardize the grant funding for this project.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
On June 15, 2022 - City Council adopted FY22-23 to FY27-28 CIP Budget.
On November 2, 2022 - City Council approved contract with Exeloo Corporation for the Purchase of a Self-Cleaning Restroom at Galvan Park.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
If approved, the total authorization for this project shall be $164,853, which includes a 15% contingency of $21,503. This project is funded in the current adopted budget (FY22-23) and is budgeted under Project 118020. The project is funded through the Quimby Fund (375). If this project is completed prior to June 30, 2023, the City will be
9 reimbursed up to $300,000 from CDBG Grant.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
Categorical Exemption
The activities described in this Staff Report are categorically exempt under CEQA, specifically pursuant to Section 15302 of CEQA Guidelines (Existing Facilities), as this project will consist of the removal and replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced.

APPROVED BY: City Manager
PURCHASE OF COUNTY RIGHT OF WAY FOR CITY PROJECTS
RECOMMENDATION(S)
Authorize the City Manager to execute, administer and further negotiate a purchase and sale agreement for the purchase of 35,348 square feet of right of way easment on Spring and Dewitt Avenues and 66,916 square feet of right of way easement on Watsonville Road.

REPORT NARRATIVE:
The City of Morgan Hill and the County of Santa Clara's roadway networks interface in numerous ways throughout the City. Due to the very irregular shape of the City's boundaries, the ownership of the roadways is often complex and confusing to the average resident. Many roadways are split down the middle in ownership, while some key arterial connections for the City are actually County roadways. This not only creates difficulty for residents in reporting issues, but also creates inefficiency in roadway maintenance and management. For the past year, City of Morgan Hill staff and staff from the Santa Clara County Roads and Airports Department have been working together to identify opportunities to improve and streamline the maintenance of County and City roadways through "swapping" of right of way. The purpose of this effort is to improve customer service and streamline maintenance and management activities.
While this effort is still in the early stages, staff has identified two areas with a need for a transfer immediately.
The first area is 35,348 square feet of right of way easement at and near the intersection of Dewitt Avenue and Spring Avenue. Transfer of this area is necessary
10 due to the addition of a City-owned traffic signal at this intersection. Currently, the City and County share ownership of the intersection and the roadway in this area. With the Hale Avenue Extension Project and this signal nearing completion, the County has requested that this area be transferred sooner to allow the City to appropriately manage the intersection.
The second area is 66,916 square feet of right of way easement on Watsonville Road, west of Monterey Road, at the area where a crossing for the West Little Llagas Creek Trail is being constructed. At this location, a pedestrian activated traffic signal is planned. The County owns half of the roadway in this area, but the area is already maintained through a previously approved maintenance agreement with the City.
However, with the new signal being installed, the County has expressed the need for the more formal purchase of the right of way ahead of the signal going into operation.
At this time, the County is not taking on ownership of any new City right of way, but County staff have committed to working in good faith to ensure this early transfer of roadway responsibility is accounted for in future right of way exchanges. Additionally, this transfer shall occur pursuant to Streets & Highways Code Section 1810: A city may acquire, by purchase or eminent domain, property outside its boundaries in the unincorporated area of the county in which the city is located, if it is necessary to connect or widen the existing streets of the acquiring city and if the county consents to the acquisition. The purchase price of the property is $1.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Not Applicable
City staff have not done outreach on this specific item as it is supportive of existing projects for which significant outreach has occurred in the past. Additionally, improving connectivity between City and County Roadways is consistent with the Bikeways, Trails, Parks and Recreation Master Plan and the City's Vision Zero Policy.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
The City Council could choose to delay and request staff further negotiate this agreement. This is not recommended as it would delay portions of the Hale Avenue Extension Project and the West Little Llagas Creek Project, both of which are nearing completion.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:

FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
The City will be impacted slightly by the increased maintenance associated with the transfer of right of way at the Spring and Dewitt area, but this increased maintenance has been anticipated with the Hale Avenue Extension Project. The City is already responsible for maintenance at the Watsonville Road Area.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
Not a Project
The purchase of the right of way will have no impact on the physical environment. Each project went through appropriate environmental review. The activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

The adopted policy is intended to provide every Council Member with the opportunity to serve as Mayor Pro Tempore. Nomination for the Mayor Pro Tempore seat is generally based on: (1) the length of time that an individual has served on the City Council and (2) whether or not the nominee has previously had the opportunity to serve as Mayor Pro Tempore.

REPORT NARRATIVE:
As part of the City Council’s expectation to maintain a high level of transparency and to be responsible stewards of public funds, staff is providing this monthly budget update, along with the November 2022 financial and investment reports.
November 2022 Financial Report
The Revenue and Expense Summary through November 2022 is included on the first page of the monthly financial report. Overall, General Fund revenues total $12.9 million or about 25% of the budget as some of the major revenue categories are received later in the fiscal year. Expenditures, including encumbrances, amounted to $24.5 million or 44% of the budget, compared to prior year to date expenditures, including encumbrances, of $19.7 million. This represents an increase of $4.8 million in total year to date expenditures, including encumbrances, compared to the prior year to date.
Excluding the encumbrances, year to date expenditures increased by about $2.9 million mainly due to new programs launched this year, such as Innovative Transit and County Solid Waste Program, as well as gradual recovery in Recreation Services and better staff recruitment and retention efforts citywide, especially in the Police Department.
Budget Update
There has been no material change to the City’s revenue since the last budget update to the Council on December 7, 2022. Recreation Services revenue continues to recover from the pandemic and is on target with budget. For water revenue, Morgan Hill
12 residents consumed about 16% less water through November compared to the prior three-year average. As such, the 15% revenue stabilization water rate has been implemented.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Inform
Finance staff prepares these financial reports to inform City officials, the Council, the community, and various lenders and stakeholders about the financial health of the organization, which assists each one of the interested parties in making sound financial and investment decisions.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
No alternative action is recommended, as this is a monthly financial report on City transactions which have already occurred.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
The City Council receives and files the financial and investment report for each month.
At the September 16, 2015 meeting, City Council recommended monthly financial and investment reports be agendized under the Consent Agenda, and quarterly financial and investment reports be presented to City Council as an “Other Business” item.
Beginning in FY 2020-21, budget reports are presented to the Council monthly.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
The preparation of the report is a part of the Finance workplan.

This report is not a project, as defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines.

CITY OF MORGAN HILL, CALIFORNIA
FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS - FISCAL YEAR 2022-23
FOR THE MONTH ENDED NOVEMBER 2022 – 42% OF YEAR COMPLETE General Fund Revenues through November totaled $12.9 million, or about 25% of the budgeted revenues as some of the major revenue categories such as property tax are received later in the fiscal year. With respect to the property tax revenue forecast, the County estimates the City will receive approximately $17.5 million in property tax revenue for the current fiscal year, slightly more than budget of $17.4 million.
The chart below shows historical General Fund revenues by major revenue category from FY18-19 through FY21-22 Actual, FY22-23 Budget, and YTD as of November 30, 2022.
General Fund expenditures and encumbrances as of November 30, 2022 totaled $24.5 million, of which approximately $3.7 million is attributable to outstanding encumbrances, compared to prior year to date expenditures, including encumbrances, of $19.7 million. This represents an increase of $4.8 million in total year to date expenditures, including encumbrances, compared to prior year to date. Excluding the encumbrances, year to date expenditures increased by about $2.9 million mainly due to new programs launched in this year, such as Innovative Transit and County Solid Waste Program as well as gradual recovery in Recreation Services and better staff recruitment and retention efforts citywide, especially in the Police Department.
Community Services - The Community Services Department’s recreation operations, as reflected in the schedule presented on page 7 of the Monthly Financial and Investments Reports, shows a negative impact to the General Fund of approximately $1.5 million as of November 30, 2022. Recreation Services revenues continue to recover from the pandemic and on target with budget. $12.8 $14.5 $16.0 $16.7 $17.4

CITY OF MORGAN HILL, CALIFORNIA
FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS - FISCAL YEAR 2022-23
FOR THE MONTH ENDED NOVEMBER 2022 – 42% OF YEAR COMPLETE Due to longstanding governmental accounting and budgeting convention, the City’s recreation operations are not charged for indirect costs (known in Morgan Hill as “General Fund Administration”) from the central services departments of City Attorney, City Manager, and Administrative Services.
The City’s other governmental funds, such as Development Services, and the proprietary funds, such as Water and Wastewater, and the Information Services Fund, are assessed such charges through the City’s indirect cost allocation plan, prepared in compliance with the guidelines set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations Title 2, Chapter II, Part 200 (formerly OMB Circular No. A-87), which mandates certain calculation and cost allocation practices that must be followed in order to qualify for Federal grant funding, but which also represent best practice for non-grant funded City operations like utilities and information services.
Development Services Fund – Revenues through November totaled $3.3 million compared to prior year to date amount of approximately $1.9 million, partially due to a result of the fees increase approved by the City Council on January 19, 2022. Expenditures, including encumbrances, totaled $2.4 million. Debt Service Funds – Expenditures through November totaled $0.6 million. The debt service for the first half of the year includes both interest and principal, while the second half of the year will include interest only. Debt service payments were all scheduled when the bonds were issued, and are budgeted for in the months delineated in the underlying bond documents. The General Fund’s portion of the annual debt service payments is approximately $200,000, less than one percent of the General Fund’s budgeted revenues.
