City Attorney’s Office
Memorandum
Date: June 13, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Elizabeth Klotz, Assistant City Attorney
Subject: Conflicts Review – Historic Landmarks Commission Applicants

Background

The City Attorney’s Office has been asked to review applications to City Boards and Commissions regarding potential conflicts of interest. The applications generally do not provide complete information regarding potential conflicts; however, they do occasionally disclose potential conflicts of interest or incompatible offices. The purpose of this memorandum is to highlight areas of potential conflict that are disclosed by the application. This review is limited to the information provided on the applications and is not intended to be comprehensive investigation of potential conflicts involving the applicants.

Commission Duties

Pursuant to the City Code, the Historic Landmarks Commission acts in an advisory capacity to the City Council in all matters pertaining to historical landmarks, names and renaming of streets, museums and the establishment thereof in the City, and the marking and preservation of historical landmarks and places.

Legal Conflicts that May Preclude Vote or Participation

Certain positions may preclude a commissioner from participating in a commission discussion or from voting if a matter involving the entity comes before the commission. While this list is not complete, these types of conflicts generally fall within one or more of the following situations:

• An applicant has an interest in property the value of which could be affected by a decision coming before the Commission
• An application shows entities that are “sources of income” to a potential commissioner within the 12 months preceding the start of the commission term, as defined under the Political Reform Act, • An applicant is an officer or employee of an entity that could be involved in a matter coming before the commission, or
• An applicant engages in a profession serving the local market that is likely to realize financial benefits or detriments, distinguishable from the public generally, that would result from the work performed by the Commission

Appearance of Bias

There may be facts which would not amount to a legal conflict of interest requiring a commissioner to recuse him- or herself from a commission vote or discussion, however the relationship could create an appearance of bias on the part of the commissioner. The Code of Ethics and Values requires that Commissioners “make impartial decisions, free of . . . financial and other personal interests that impair City of
Santa Clara
The Center of What's Possible
Conflicts Review – Historic Landmarks Commission Applicants June 13, 2023June 8, 2023

Page 2 ends

[one’s] independence of judgment or action.” Accordingly, a situation may arise that may require a commissioner to recuse him- or herself if the facts could reasonably lead one to conclude that the applicant would be biased for or against an entity or entities.

Review Of Applicants

None of the two applicants work in fields that are likely to present potential conflicts of interest for historic landmarks commissioners. The following is a list of the applicants and their employers:

• Neetu Garg is an IT Consultant with CG Vak, a global software provider headquartered in India with an office in Walnut Creek. Their application discloses neither incompatible office nor apparent conflicts of interest.
• Yvonne C. Inciarte is a Field Representative for the U.S. House of Representatives. Their application discloses neither incompatible office nor apparent conflicts of interest.

Conclusion

The City Council may wish to consider the above comments in making its appointments to the Commission.

I served on the board for 11 years. ( 2 full terms & 1 partial term, 11 months) I would like to finish the job on making the indoor sculpture exhibition year round, with little cost to the City.

While a commissioner, I began the Sculpture Exhibition, the electrical box project, the Summer Street Dance & the Art in the Air street banner project. I would like to work morndosely with the Triton museum, as well.

My interests are in community activities \\hich encourage people from all nations, regions, faith, culture, sexual orientation, etc., not only to be able to share their values, but also respectfully accept that of others.

My entire family - v.ife and tv.o children, all are active in cultural and social activities though school and various organizations.

My profession is to help and enable all kinds of organizations to use the most advanced technologies, I help multiple teams of organizations 10 analyze their operations and associated risks, and only then select a cybersecurity solution. This has helped my observation and analytical capability to find unanimously acceptable solutions.

By observing a few incidents in the community closely, I have concluded that members of this diverse comnunity have yet to learn a lot about each other. It is due to hesitation in sharing good old values, or lack of open communication. At this stage of my life, I have more time on my hands, and therefore I \\ould like to share my time and e:.,perience In addressing these social issues by serving on commlssions Conflict of Interests

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Interviews and Action to Appoint One Applicant to the Planning Commission to Serve One Partial Term Ending June 30, 2024

COUNCIL PILLAR
Enhance Community Engagement and Transparency

BACKGROUND
At the March 7, 2023 City Council Meeting, Council declared one vacancy on the Planning Commission for one partial term ending June 30, 2024 due to a resignation.

DISCUSSION
The City Clerk’s Office held a recruitment for six weeks and received six applications by the April 21, 2023 5:00 p.m. application deadline. There were two applicants that did not meet the requirement of being registered voters at time of application.

The City Clerk’s Office proceeds with the recruitment/interview process with the following applicants:

1. Eric Crutchlow

2. Jeannie DeGuzman

3. Rachael Maria Ervin

4. Kaushal Varshney
Each applicant met the requirement of being a qualified elector of the City confirmed by the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters Office, and a resident of the City of Santa Clara and have each submitted proof of residency.

A complete agenda packet is available on the City’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office at least 72 hours prior to a Regular Meeting and 24 hours prior to a Special Meeting.

City Attorney’s Office
Memorandum
Date: June 13, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Alexander Abbe, Assistant City Attorney
Luis M. Haro, Deputy City Attorney
Subject: Conflicts Review – Planning Commission Applicants

Background

Commission Duties

Pursuant to the City Charter and the City Code, the Planning Commission is responsible for recommending the adoption, amendment, or repeal of the General Plan and Specific Plans; the application of the zoning and land use regulations of the City and recommending revisions and amendments; the processing of subdivision maps and property development applications; and provid ing input on the capital improvement program.

Legal Conflicts that May Preclude Vote or Participation

Appearance of Bias

There may be facts which would not amount to a legal conflict of interest requiring a commissioner to recuse him- or herself from a commission vote or discussion, however the relationship could cre ate an City of

appearance of bias on the part of the commissioner. The Code of Ethics and Values requires that Commissioners “make impartial decisions, free of . . . financial and other personal interests that impair [one’s] independence of judgment or action.” Accordingly, a situation may arise that may require a commissioner to recuse him- or herself if the facts could reasonably lead one to conclude that the applicant would be biased for or against an entity or entities.

Review Of Applicants

None of the four applicants work in fields that are likely to present potential conflicts of interest for planning commissioners. The following is a list of the applicants and their employers:

• Eric Crutchlow is a Senior Project Manager for CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity technology company based in Sunnyvale.
• Jennie DeGuzman is a Design Engineer for Exatron Inc., a San Jose company that manufactures electronic products, including device handlers, automated programming systems, and test equipment.
• Rachael Maria Ervin works for the U.S. Postal Service in downtown San Jose. • Kaushal K Varshney is a Director of Global Technical Enablement at Netskope Inc., a cybersecurity technology company located in Santa Clara.

Three of the applicants work for corporations; in the unlikely event that the City ever contracted with any of those corporations, the contracts would not be subject to Planning Commission review, so no conflict would result. Kaushal Varsheny’s employer, Netskope Inc., is based in Santa Clara, and so if Netskope ever required a permit subject to Planning Commission review, Mr. Varshney would need to abstain from participating in consideration of that permit.

None of the applicants disclosed membership on any other governmental bodies, and so no incompatible office conflicts would occur. In addition, none of the applications identified any potential sources of bias.

Conclusion

The City Council may wish to consider the above comments in making its appointments to the Commission.
