REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Interviews and Action to Appoint One Applicant to the Parks and Recreation Commission to Serve One Full Term Ending June 30, 2027

COUNCIL PILLAR
Enhance Community Engagement and Transparency

BACKGROUND
At the June 6, 2023 City Council meeting, the Council declared a vacancy on the Parks and Recreation Commission for one full term ending June 30, 2027.

Advertising of the vacancy was done via the City’s website, social media outlets. The City Clerk’s Office also emailed vacancy notification to all parties listed on the email vacancy interest list.

DISCUSSION
The City Clerk’s Office held a recruitment for four weeks and received three applications by the July 7, 2023 5:00 p.m. application deadline.

A past practice has been that upon appointment to fill a vacancy, the City Council may choose to establish an eligibility list with an applicant(s) of their choice for six months should a vacancy arise.

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

1. Peter Louis Delaney

2. Vikas Gupta

3. Kiran Shinde
Each candidate met the requirement of being a resident of the City of Santa Clara and have each submitted proof of residency.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(a) as it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no additional cost to the City other than administrative staff time and expense.

I enjoy the outdoors and I am an avid hiker and runner. I am also a swmmer and a parent of a competitive sv.immer. I trained for my hikes and runs in our parks, trails, on our streets, and in our county parks. My interests drive me to have a keen interest in our parks and recreation programs and desire for them to thrive and serve our ccmmunity v.ell.

My hikes include climbing to Everest Base Camp (altitude 17.5K feet), Stok Kangri (altitude 20K feet), Mt. Shasta (altitude 14.2K feet), Mt. Whitney (altitude 14.5K feet), Grand Canyon Rim to Rim (one day, 6K feet descent, SK feet ascent, 27 miles). Runs I have ccmpleted include the Chicago and San Jose marathons (26.2 miles) and numerous half marathons (13.1 miles) including San Jose Rock and Roll and San Francisco.

I have been a masters sv.immer and my child is a ccmpetitive s\Iimmer v.ith Santa Clara Sv.im Club and I am a daily visitor to the Central Park and the International S\\im Center and am very familiar v.ith the services offered and the facilities.

Please state reasons why you want to become a member of this Board/Commission/Committee, including what specific objectives you would be working toward as a member of this advisory board:

As parents, wa frequently complain about the amount of time our kids are in front of a screen. As adults wa find ourselves and our society plagued by obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. As \\e age, wa find 1\e don't have the stability and strength to have a health-span that matches our modern medicine granted lifespan. I believe our parks, pools and recreation programs have much to offer to make a substantial difference in our community's wall-being. Getting our community outdoors and active v.ill have secondary benefits of getting them to know each other and to make them be more understanding of each other and be there for each other.

Despite all these benefits, 110 find our resources and programs under utilized and some facilities poorly maintained such as the International Sv.im Center, \\hich has been dov,n for the last three months and is not the first time, and the Mary Gomez Pool. We can do better as a community and a city.

The way m can do better as a community and a city is if m drive our decisions based on data and outcomes. We can do better if m had greater ccmmunity participation and listening to their needs, wants and ideas. We can do better if m have better management and oversight.

I believe I have:
- the ability to IM:lrk v.ith people having IM:lrked in small and large organizations and managed very large teams. I have over 30 years of el<!)erience of v..hich 25 years have been in leadership positions and 17 years in management positions - the creativity and problem solving skills necessary to come up v.ith solutions mrking \\ith fellow team mates. I have 11 issued US patents in my name - the passion and desire necessary to see the best interest of the community having volunteered to mrk in and v.ith multiple non-profit and community organizations including Catalyze SV, Santa Clara S\\im Club, Santa Clara Community Advocates - a interest in seeing our parks and recreation resources and our community thrive given my. interest in outdoor activities, sports and community organizing for community benefit
- the necessary skills to drive choices and decisions using data, analytics, robust discussions and community support I v.ish to offer these skills in serving our community on the Park and Recreations Commission v.ith the objective of improving and better managing our resources, engaging our community in understanding their needs, developing our programs based on community need, and helping our community thrive.

City Attorney’s Office
Memorandum
Date: July 12, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Luis Martin Haro, Deputy City Attorney
Subject: Conflicts Review – Parks & Recreation 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 confl icts of interest or incompatible offices. The purpose of this memorandum is to highlight areas of potential conflict that are disclosed by the application. In order to analyze potential conflicts, it is necessary to consider the duties of the particular commission for which the applicant is seeking appointment. 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 Charter and the City Code, the Parks & Recreation Commission is responsible for the establishment, acceptance and continue supervision of a long-range parks and recreations program for the City; planning and implementing an annual program of recreational and cultural activities for all age groups; recommending and supervising all the City’s contractual relationships with other agencies in the recreational field; and serve as correlating agency between the City and other units of government o n recreational undertakings.

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.

Conflicts Review – Parks & Recreation Commission Applicants July 12, 2023

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 [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

Set forth below are the applicants and any apparent legal conflicts of interest and/or appearance of bias related to entities that are likely to come before the commission in some manner, as identified on the applications.

o The applicant is semi-retired and has listed that he has been a Linux/Unix developer since 1980. No other sources of income were disclosed.
o The information disclosed reveals neither incompatible offices nor apparent conflicts of interest.

• Vikas Gupta
o The applicant did not disclose any sources of income. o The applicant disclosed membership on the Santa Clara El Camino Specific Plan Community Advisory Committee. Participation on the Committee is advisory and non- voting and therefore does not present a conflict of interest. o The applicant disclosed membership in Catalyze SV, Santa Clara Swim Club, and Santa Clara Community Advocates. Based on a web search of these organizations, it does not appear that the applicant still serves on the board of these organizations. However, if the applicant currently serves on the Swim Club board or serves on the board in the future, it would be prudent to recuse from taking action on any items coming before the Commission related to the Swim Club.
o The information disclosed reveals neither incompatible offices nor apparent con flicts of interest.

• Kiran Shinde
o The applicant is currently employed as a Senior Program Manager with Infosys. o The applicant has disclosed that he has served as a secretary and treasurer for the Maharashtra Mandal Bay Area. The application is not clear as to whether the applicant is currently serving in those roles. Participation with this organization does not present any conflicts.
o The information disclosed reveals neither incompatible offices nor apparent conflicts of interest.

Conclusion

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

COUNCIL PILLAR
Enhance Community Engagement and Transparency

BACKGROUND
At the March 22, 2022 Council meeting, the City Council adopted Ordinance 2043 which modified and established the procedure by which the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) membership is appointed. The Committee membership was formerly appointed by the BPAC Committee members, upon final adoption of Ordinance 2043 the procedure has changed to follow the same recruitment/appointment process that the City Clerk’s Office has for all the City Board, Commission, and Committees with the exception that BPAC applicants may either live or work in the City to be eligible to serve.

At the May 23, 2023 Council meeting, the City Council declared three vacancies on the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee.

On July 12, 2023 the City Clerk’s Office received an email resignation from Chair Hardy on behalf of Committee Member Lloyd Cha effective immediately.

DISCUSSION
The City Clerk’s Office held a recruitment for four weeks and received no applications by the June 26, 2023 5:00 p.m. application deadline. The City Clerk’s Office extended the recruitment period to July 7, 2023 which yielded six applications. On July 13, 2023 there was an applicant who withdrew from the process leaving a total of 5 applicants in the process.

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

I re-learned tobkeas an adu!t in Santa aara-and a few years later am organizing bike trains to help other fan'll!ies at my kids' schcd le.1IT1 how to take ad\entage of this v.ayof getting arcund. We're noNa bike-first ooe-car family. This has been a hug<! ev.:lution ftr us, and not alv.ays an easy one. 1//hile the Oty has daie a lot of g,eat w:,1<, biking around v.hen one isn't 'B'f cmlident, and especially 1\11€11 biking ,,jth kids, highlights v,here things can be made e\efl better. rm excited to bring my perspectii.e as a practical family ridff to the Board. I \',ant to help make the city one \',here it's easy ond safe for €\€PJOl1e to do v.hat v.e do-bike to scb:x:l, to the library, to sv.im lessons, to the park, to fiieods's houses.

Ard I v.ent to make sure that that cpf.Xlrtunity is e.enly distributed-that no matter v,here yru li-.e in our con101unity, yoo haw the ctiance to walk or bike safely to v.here you need to go. Otyanizing blke trains to help others at our schod discO\er hoN to bike safely shot,ed haN much extra effort: can be lmohed. And getting bike racks installed at our schoci helped me see 00.v €\€fl small in~ts in infrastructure can make a big difference in O\€:f'COflling banier.s to participation.

I haw a \el'/ practical outlook on biking and walking, and I think my paspecti1.-e - mom v,Uh small children, a practiceJ rather than recreationsJ biker. ar.d somoone \',ho is actl\.ely helplr~ others fla\igate the chal!eng=,...s of getting around v.itl1out a car- v,i!I oo helpful to the Boom.

I vant to hap the comnittee make recommendations to the Oty Council that \\ii! impro..e cycling and pedestrian cmditicos so that mere ~e v.m v.ent to ride bicycles and v.elk to destinations in the city rather than dri..e a car. I wmt to help the corrmittee find solutions to red.x:e the crash rates imching bicyclists and pedestrians. I v,ill ad\ocate tr. (a) lfl'!l'O\€d cycling and pedestrian cood,tions:
-more space on our streets de\oted to cyclists and pedestrians --lo.\er speed l1rrits on OJt streets
-rnom facilities for parldng and stofirg bicycles on putlic ar,d pri1.0te i:;roperty -better access to p<i\Bte property from the dty side.-.elk to enhance pede5trian sa'ety -'.\iay..findng signs on our streets to imprt)l.e accessiblllty to destinatioos in the city -an enhanced city \\eb preserce for cyciing and \0.alkirg In the city -prcgrarns to Set\e cyclists and pedestrians, p.grticUarly canmunities of ccncem and \o..anen. (b) To further enhance cyclists and pedestrian's ccmfcrt and safety on our Oty's streets, I \1.ould like to see a neti.•.ori<: cJ roundaboots installed in our neighbcmo:xis, The neh\Ctk \1.0Jld make trips to neighoortxxxj destinatioos, such as grocery stores, banks, city parks, and schcds, safer and nx:re efficient (in lime and effcrt) \\nile not increasing en1a"gency resp:flSe times. 1 \0lunteered to be part of BPACs Roundaoo..11: Subcooimittee and \'.e ha\8 been successful in blinging the ad\8fltages of rcundabouts to the attention of the BPAC, Oty staff and the g,aneraJ putl1c, 1hat subcommittee is charged \1.ith finding suitable locations to install rOLITTdaboots, and\•,e lime suggested mini-rOl.fiiabouts be installed on FO'bes A\eflue afterextensi1.e inspection and measurement of the many intersections along that street as w2:II as a re-.ie.vof criteria found on-line de\elcped by professional engineern.

Qty staff re-.ie~.l:Xl the Suoccmmittee's p-q::)OSal to install mi1i-roundaoouts an Forbes AV2iflue and v.i/1 be p(O\iding rrKre technicaJ aiteria to t11e Sul.x:cmrnittee in order to determine \\here mini-roundal:x:uts can be installed en that street.
(c) I ha\e been outspo!<eo at BPAC rreetings in regard to incloong bicycle and pedestrian related infrastructure as part of 00\Elopment ,jans. I rime also suggested locatioos ror bicycle lanes on streets,~- motor \ellcle Janes can be narro,1,ed to proJde room fa" bcycle lanes; I submitted to the BPAC for reJ.e,v a prtject to temp:irarily install Dcyde lanes en the El Camino Real. (d) I v.m t.ry to reestat:lish the BPAC Subccmmittee on Way~finding to select cycling and pedestrian routes, including i:reparing dra,,.ings for sign locations, to important deslinaticns in the city including paci;:::5 of ernployrnent, public parks, schools, cdleges, business districts, showing areas, historic places, t!ie San Tomas Aquino Qeek Trait, and cross-city tra\el. Also, I \VJiid p-q:,ose linking cur way-finding rootes to adjacent city's v.ey..finding routes In croe:r to create an cootinuous Jjcyde fiiendy roJtes to destinations in nearby cities. (e) Anolhff Dqecti1.e I v.oo!d re \'.aking ta.•.Brd as a member of the cornrnlttee is to re-estat:lish the BPAC Sul:Gommittee m wro Presence; I was a past member of that sutx:onm'ttee. That subcomrrittee needs to imestigate more c001eeti\ity to infamatioo about cycling and pedestrian infrastructure and programs in the Oty. (f) Because youths are roe of our our city's largest cycling and pedestrian p:)piiation, the Safe Routes to Schad program. a pn:;gan1 that educates youth aoout safely \\61king and cycling to schcd, shoud be continued. We need to reV.eN the effic.acy of that poJfafTI by pericdically rei.ie.,ing the crash statistics for those age goops, if Mlable, frcm the police department I \•.cold suggest this if app:iinted to Sel\e on the committee. (g) AnolherDq'ectiva I v.ou!d 00 \\a'king ta.vard as a member of the coolffiittee is to identify other proJraf'llS to assist cyclists. The BPACshould recorrrnend Ulat the Oty continue to apply to the Bicyde Frierdy Prcgram offered b-J the League of American Bicyclists (LAB). BPAC needs to continually assess our currefil facilities and programs, as \\ell as ex,jcre ne€ded impro\ements identified b-J the LAB. I 1\0.id like to attain the next le\€1 in that LAB program, the Silw rating.
(h) To assist the City staff in lmestigating ard applying for p-tjects and prcgrams. the LAB suggests and I \\ill cootinue to advx-ate for a fiJI lime bicycle and pedestrian coordinator to be hired by the Oty. The coordinator can be the scle staff member assisting the BPAC and can UjXlate the bicycle and pedestrian ,jans, thus sa\/ng the Qty money.

The COO"dinator can also, as existing staff do oo.v, Muate our present cycling and pedestrian infrastructure and prq;rams and imestigate fundng sources, particularly g<)\errnnent funding sources, that allo.v a v.ide latitude in the sccpe of p<qXt.Sed projects. This acli\Hy could imd1.e ga,,envn-eflt grants, pul::Jic/pti\ete partrwships, ar.d taxing strategies in order to accm1Jjish committee goals more quickly.

M Lastly, another objective I \',OOd be \1.00<ing to.-.erd as a member of the cocrmittee is to prq.x)Se mere funding sources be pursued to pay fcr prcgrarns and ~ects that sur:p:::rt cycling aOO pedestrians in the city. In addition to the co;;oing go\efnrnent grant aps:'ications, I \',ould suggest the committee explore additional sources of liJrlding for appD\9J by the C.OUncil such as increasing taxes includng forming special assessment districts.

Any other infonnatlon which you feel would be u~ful to the City Council in reviewing your application:

My conrnunity inv::hement:

Attendance at CSC BPAC meetings: I attend Oty ct Santa Oara Bicyde and Pedestrian Ad\isOI)' C.ornmittee m::etings regularly and pt>\ide input as a member of the generaJ put)ic and as a member of tv.o of their subcommittees, Roundaboots and Bike to Shop Day. I also attend many of the BPACs field meelings orgarized b-j Oty staff that are open to memb€rs of lhe ccrnmittee and the gereral put:lic.

Past member of the CSCBPAC: As a past mesrbE<of Oty of Santa Oara BPAC, I suggested that BPAC reoonmend lhe Oty Oxincil send a letter to the Santa Oata Valley WaterC\strict to sa\e the poi:,Jar Intel pedestrian bridge ow the San Too,as Aquino Qeek that con~ts the Intel property \•.ith the San Tcmas Aquino Oeek Trail. lhe bridge w:1s s3\ro.

Bike to Wak e\eflt: I hclped al se\.efal Oty of Santa dara Bike to Work/Where.er Day e-.ents. Not only h8\e I staffed the table to help distribute pranotimal items but also I made minor repairs to commuters' bicydes v.tiffl needed. That ex.perien:::e has led me to think aboot additional San TonlaS Aquino Creek Trail erihancanents that the BPAC may \\0nt to consider, such as repair statims, repair statico shelters, rr,are drinking fountains, restrooms, benches, and more pedestrian bridges to connect businesses en the east side of the creek to the trail.

Major Taylor O;cling Oub: From 1994 to :!ill?, I organized and \Olunteered at a poi:,Jar c-Ol'>-jlrO\it, 501(cX3) bicycle repair clinic, the Majcr Taylor O;cling Oub of East Palo Alto. I was the secreta,y, repair clinic supe!\isor, and a mechanic fcr the orgarization for thirteen yeais. Unfortunataly the club has closed. Toe club operated a tv,ice-monthly bicycle repair cliric for the youth of that city at no charge to the participants; O\€f foor thcosand (4,000) participants atteoded du,ing that pe,i(:d.

Oub menlbefs, aJI VJ!unteers, assisted youths in the repair and maintenance of their ticydes and taught ricing skills. Repairs \i,ere accompished by reusing bicyde parts from saheged bicycles that \\ere headed fcr the durrp.

I helped de\elop and a,.asc.r,,,, al! prcgrams and operations including donaticns, repair clinic, bicycle rodeo and an Cam a Bike~ program, and I ccnstructed all the necessa,y infrastructure to sllfJIX)rt the prcgrarns, such as tat:les, tethered tOOs, tro carts, and slcrage facilities. I also prO\ided free lunches to the~ and youth \Clunteers, Toe club also attended and helped at bicycle rodeos and parades sp::osored b-j the Oty of East Palo Alto. lhe club attended and prO'Jded logistic,,! support lcr a bicycle reuse ewnt sp::osored b-J the O:lurly of San Mateo.

O..irclub's achie.ements \'.ere recognized by the Oty c.ouncil of the Oty of East Palo Nto and the County of San Mateo Board of Supef\iscrs, in large part due to ourpuJding senices not Mlable in the p-i\0te sectcr. Since that time, other organiza!ims haw imitated this model in other locations around the South Bay Area.

Please state reasons why you want to become a member of this BoardJCOmmiS'Sion/Committee, including what specific objectives you would be working toward as a member of this advisory board:

I fle\€f set out to become a bicycling, \•.0.lklng, or transit ad\ocate. Rather. I try to mold relying oo a car to get aroond. lhough I drii.e sparingly and share one relativafy economical car \•,ith my husband (\•.ho also pref€fS to bike and \•.elk), it is cur secmd-greatesl expense, after OOJSing.

I find the car-centric infrastructure and cutlure are greater hindrances to car-free cr car~ight m::bifity, than anything under my 0M1 direct cont.rd, su:::h as my physical fitness, attitude, m::>ti\Blioo, or \\hich bicycle I 0.1,n. \Nhen I talk to people v.00 doo't bike, the con\€fSatioo il1\0riably turns to safety.

Bicycling in the Qty of Santa aara tcxiay il1\Cll\es challengir,g trade-offs. A\cidlng high-traffic streets can require 9)ing out of one's ,vay and koo.,Ar,g v.hlch side streets connect to something useful. Sometimes, there is oo choice but to ride rn a v.lde arterial \\Hh fast traffic. There is often no g:x:xj r;Aace to secure a blcycle near a destination. Santa dara had 259 reported ti cycle thefts bst\\een July 2021 and ..Uy 2022-roughly one per \\eek day -and it's likely that many more thefts go unr€jXrled.

Walking con'leS \\Hh its CMn obstacles. Some are physical, like missing side.•.elks and ramps, and a lack of sa'"e paces to cross larg,:::r strrets or othef barn'ers like train tracks and freev.ays. Some are stru::.tural, like \•Alen a store, schod, or transit stop is far a,vay.

Meanv.hile, many peq::le do not experience oor city In this \'wf/, or fKlt to the same degree.

My oojecthes in a seccnd term on the BPAC include the follo1.1ng:
---Compete the current cpen bike.vay stud es (Bentcn, Monroe, Walstl-fv1artin, and Da la Ouz). In addition to obser.ing ooth Santa aara and Vvilcox Hgh Scioos at dismissaJ tirn.a, I ha\e biked the length of each of thase conidors v.ith an eye tov.erd identifying rroliems and potential irnpro,.ernents. -Hap to shape the upccrning Vision Zero plan .
.Participate in the up::oming Bo.•.ers A\ellue study".
-H2lp to shape and finalize the city"s trail plan that has been undaf de\elopment since 2017. -Uiderstand the furK!ir,g ecosystem and ach.ocate for options that v,ill gi\e the city the best chance of v.inning coo1p€!iti\6 grants. -Amoc.ate for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure lm)Yo.ements In ca,junction v.Hh road.'.ay maintenance and repairs. Concurent efforts reqtire panning but can reduce costs and disruptions. -Ad\ocale for funding to design and build t:ikev.iays in our bicycle pan, including Pruneidge and El Camim Real (noN part of the Central Bikevay corridor), v,hich hai.e been the subjects of recently ccrnpleted and appro-.ed sludes.
•Represent and inform the canmunity, and encoo-rage rcbust putlic participation in studies and plans • ..Ser\€ as a liaisoo to the vrA BPAC and County Roods and encourage cocroinaticn and ccllaboration betv.een local agencies.

Any other information which you feel would be useful to the City Council in reviewing your application:

I think rmst of the council is already faniffarv.ilh my ad\ocacy, if not the breadth and extent of my imd\.ernent. I look fOl\vard to talking alx:ut it more in an intef\i&N, and to cootinuing to ser.e and to learn m::ire about my coomrun:ty during a second term.

Please state reasons why you want to become a member of this Board/Commission/Committee, including what specific objectives you would be working toward as a member of this advisory board:

I have, during my 35 year career in the City's Engineering Dept., been responsible for the construction of most of the City's bike facilities, including almost all of the San Tomas Aquino Creek Trail and miles of painted bikeways. I was also responsible for pedestrian improvements such as huge lengths of sidewalk and countless ramps and driveways.

In a typical year I ride my bike about 3000 miles mostly from and to my house in town and extending throughout the South Bay.

It is intent to bring this experience, both experience on the bike and that gained with the "real world" challenges of building public improvements, to the BPAC.
