EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The Services to be performed for the City by the Contractor under this Agreement are set forth below.
Contractor is to replace or install new Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations per direction from the City. Contractor's scope of work includes:
• Pull permits for the installation of the metered service cabinets, wiring and EV Charging Stations.
• Furnish and Install metered service cabinets (200A Myers USP16) • Remove and/or furnish and install wiring from the metered service cabinets to EV Charging Stations
• Remove and/or furnish and install EV Charging Stations (CT4011, CT4021, CT 4025 or EVBox)
• Energize, activate and test EV Charging Stations.
• Provide networking plans and/or long-term total station care plans • Stripe and provide preferred signage on EV Charging Stations • Provide warranty of electrical installation of materials, fixtures, and equipment supplied by Contractor for a period of one (1) year
City's scope of work is constructing substructure (risers, conduits, pullboxes, bases) for the EV Charging Station and its electric service as well as installing any electric service wiring up to the metered service cabinet.
Contractor services shall be utilized thought-out the term of this agreement as single or groups of EV Charging Stations installations. One such group of installations comprised of 8 locations including Santa Clara City Hall, Water & Electric Corporation Yard, Great America Transit Station, Larry J Marsalli Dog Park, Santa Clara Senior Center, Mission Branch Library, Santa Clara Community Recreation Center, and the Triton Museum has been defined and quoted by the Contractor utilizing the schedule offees in Exhibit B.

Cost/Financial Model
On Site 1 (City Hall), ChargePoint has a special trade-in program that is $3,000 for an 18' cable unit and $4,000 for any 23' cable unit. The best way to economize the installation at this location is to take 6 of the 7 Blink units and exchange them for 3 dual ChargePoint CT4025 units (this model has 23' cables) . .
One point to highlight about equipment choice is that we are recommending 23' cables for all diagonal parking locations . Units with 18' cables are perfect for perpendicular parking arrangements, but usually not sufficient for diagonal parking if the City wants to discourage drivers with charging ports on the rear of the car from bacl<ing in.
In order to maximize value, we have proposed 5 year terms for all networking plans and Assure Total Station Care plans . Should the City require annual billing on those two items, the costs will be higher on an annualized basis, however can will be happy to do so.
Based on the attached price sheet, and ChargePoint's competitive trad e-in promotion, our price proposal for this first phase is as follows :

In the event that certified payroll forms do not comply with the requirements of Labor Code Section 1720 et seq., City may continue to hold sufficient funds to cover estimated wages and penalties under the Agreement. 2 Based on State funding sources, this project may be subject to special labor compliance requirements of Proposition 84.
3. The City is not obligated to make any payment due to Contractor until Contractor has performed all of its obligations under these provisions. This provision means that City can withhold all or part of a payment to Contractor until all required documentation is submitted.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on 2025 Legislative Advocacy Positions
COUNCIL PILLAR
Enhance Community Engagement and Transparency
BACKGROUND
On October 9, 2018, Council adopted Resolution No. 18-8611 to approve a Legislative Advocacy Position (LAP) Policy (Attachment 1). The purpose of the LAP Policy is to establish clear guidelines for advancing City goals and positions through legislative review and advocacy at the regional, State, and federal levels of government and to provide guidance for City officials who serve on regional, State, and national boards, committees, and commissions when they are asked to review public policy matters and issues.
The LAP Policy requires the City Council to adopt or update the LAPs at the beginning of the calendar year to identify specific legislative priorities outside of the legislative guiding principles listed below:
· Support the League of California Cities and National League of Cities positions on priority bills that benefit Santa Clara
· Protect local revenue sources and prevent unfunded mandates · Protect and/or increase funding for specific programs and services · Protect and/or increase local government discretion
· Advance approved policies such as the City’s Statement of Values, the General Plan, or the Climate Action Plan
Staff is presenting eleven (11) 2025 LAPs (Attachment 2) for the City Council’s consideration and adoption. If approved, staff and the City’s legislative consultant, Townsend Public Affairs, LLC (Townsend), will use these LAPs to track, monitor and advocate for legislation that is consistent with the City’s legislative priorities and provide quarterly legislative updates to the Council on those efforts as required by the LAP Policy.

Between November 2024 and January 2025, the City Manager’s Office and Townsend conducted legislative briefings with departments and Councilmembers to share updates on current state and federal activity and identify legislative priorities for 2025. The proposed 2025 LAPs reflect Council and departments’ feedback and once adopted, will provide guidance on how to advance the City’s goals this year, which has already experienced significant legislative activity that will impact local City of Santa Clara Printed on 2/21/2025Page 1 of 10

government.
The 2025 LAPs consist of 11 existing 2024 LAPs that have been updated to reflect current positions on key policy issues. Updates to the LAPs are summarized below:
Broadband, Cable Services, and Wireless Telecommunications Facilities The federal and state governments have made efforts to limit or preempt local control over placement of wireless telecommunications facilities and supporting structures in and outside the rights of way.
Over the past several years, actions by federal and state lawmakers, and regulating entities, have resulted in the adoption of regulations and orders controlling local authority over placement of wireless facilities, including the adoption of “shot clocks” requiring local agencies to complete review of projects within a specified time period.
Recommended Updates
: Staff recommends updating this LAP to include a position statement to monitor regulatory and rulemaking activities by the Federal Communications Commission, and California Public Utilities Commission, for potential impacts to telecommunications, broadband, and cable infrastructure within the City.
Community Services
The City of Santa Clara offers a wide range of community services through Santa Clara City library, parks and recreational facilities, and in partnership with community organizations and non-profits.
The Santa Clara City Library is a dynamic community hub that provides access to information, literacy resources, educational programming, and civic engagement opportunities for the Santa Clara community.
The City’s Parks and Recreation Department provides planning, development, operation, maintenance, and rehabilitation of the City's neighborhood parks, mini parks, community parks, open space sites, recreation buildings, trails, joint use facilities, and bodies of water at five sites. The department also assists the public with facility rentals, community services, cultural programs, special events, enhanced natural environments, fitness and wellness programs, as well as sports and aquatics opportunities.
Recommended Updates
: Staff recommends updating this LAP to include the following position statements, including those that reflect Councilmember(s)’s feedback:

students to include school break-related activities.
Emergency Management
The City’s Office of Emergency Services maintains an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in “response-ready” condition to serve as the City’s hub for emergency management activities in support of large-scale emergencies or planned events. In the event of any all-hazard emergency, the City will closely monitor County, State and federal orders, guidance and legislation to see how they apply to Santa Clara, advocate for regional, State, and federal resources and funding to provide as needed assistance to individuals and businesses that have been negatively impacted, and focus on economic recovery.
Recommended Updates
: Staff recommends updating the LAP to include the following position statements, including those that reflect Councilmember(s)’s feedback:
· Support legislative efforts and funding to assist local governments with the development of wildfire mitigation plans.
· Support funding and efforts for cybersecurity resilience, preparedness, response, mutual aid, and forensic investigation capabilities.
· Support expedited California Disaster Assistance Act and Stafford Act reimbursement funding activities.
Energy Legislation, Regulations and Issues
The City’s electric utility, Silicon Valley Power (SVP), has a mission to be a progressive, service- oriented utility, offering reliable, competitively priced services for the benefit of Santa Clara and its customers. Additionally, SVP has an adopted Strategic Plan that is intended to address the challenges facing the utility over a ten-year period. This LAP works to further the objectives outlined in the Strategic Plan and complements the other LAPs adopted by the City.
Recommended Updates
: Staff recommends updating the LAP to include the following position statements, including those that reflect Councilmember(s)’s feedback:
· Support efforts to increase advance notice for Emergency Energy Alerts to allow for preparation of backup power generation, or other alternative power supply during disruptions. · Support efforts to reduce supply chain delays negatively impacting the ability to secure equipment for electric utilities.
· Support legislation and other efforts to promote the public retention of energy and utility assets, as well as other efforts aimed at mitigating increased costs for utility providers and customers.

Staff also recommends updating the following existing position statements to make clarifications and/or expand their scope:
· Support efforts to expand energy generation and transmission infrastructure that will help the City meet the pace of decarbonization goals. Proposed update includes examples of permit streamlining and other efforts.
· Support legislation and efforts to enhance funding for clean energy, energy storage, and transmission development. Proposed update incorporates the expanded category of grid transforming technologies that include but are not limited to those existing categories listed in the 2024 LAP.
· Monitor PG&E’s rate-making and regulatory activities. Proposed update changes PG&E to “Natural Gas Transportation and Electric Transmission Owner”.
Through the LAP development process, staff reviews Councilmember(s)’s feedback for alignment with existing legislation and City operations. Feedback was received regarding potential inclusion of a position statement to reform State Proposition 26 (Prop 26) to allow for more electrical rate tiers if they help with climate goals. Staff and Townsend reviewed the request and determined that the initiative was approved by California voters in 2010 as a constitutional amendment so its provisions cannot be changed by the Legislature (it must be a part of a statewide ballot). As such, the feedback related to reforming Prop 26 was not included in the proposed 2025 Energy Legislation, Regulations, and Issues LAP.
Housing
The City is committed to being a leader at the local level in providing affordable housing, as well as making a fair share contribution to the overall need for housing production within Silicon Valley, and will continue to proactively take concrete steps to realize new housing production within the City.
Santa Clara is also prepared to participate in broader regional efforts that are collaborative, recognize the unique characteristics of local jurisdictions, and provide opportunities for local representation. The City is monitoring potential measures imposed at the State or regional level that can reduce local control, recognizing that in some instances such measures can be necessary or helpful to advance common goals across multiple jurisdictions, but also recognizing that such efforts may have unintended consequences, limited effectiveness, or create inequities due to a lack of consideration of localized circumstances.
Recommended Updates
: Staff recommends updating the LAP to include the following position statements, including those that reflect Councilmember(s)’s feedback:
· Support efforts and funding for the development of sanctioned safe parking sites, including streamlined permitting, site preparation, hygiene services, waste removal services, program operations, case management, security measures, and programs to prevent pollution that may cause public health threats.

Staff also recommends updating the following existing position statements, including those that reflect Councilmember(s)’ feedback, to make clarifications and/or expand their scope:
· Support legislation that would establish additional ongoing funding streams for the construction, preservation, and operation of local affordable housing developments. Proposed edits include funding for staff and programs.

· Support legislation and efforts that provide resources for small to medium sized cities to plan and implement strategies that address the impacts of homelessness on public facilities and services. Proposed update includes funding for staffing.
Human Resources and Public Sector Employment
The City of Santa Clara provides a myriad of services to the community, including police, fire, public works, electric utility, planning, parks and recreation, and library services. The City employs approximately 1,200 full-time equivalent employees that provide these and other services to the community. These services provide opportunities and careers for all types of interests, and the City should endeavor to leverage the rewards and benefits that come with working for the City.
Recommended Updates
: Staff recommends updating the LAP to include a position statement, that reflects Councilmember(s)’s feedback, to support efforts to update the Public Records Act process that balance public agencies’ resources while maintaining transparency and accountability.
Public Safety
Santa Clara is committed to promoting a living and working environment that allows for the best quality of life. The City believes that crime prevention and enforcement efforts are integral to creating and maintaining a safe environment for residents and visitors. At the same time, the City recognizes that crime prevention and enforcement efforts alone cannot foster community safety and wellness; education, intervention and prevention efforts on various public safety topics, such as gun violence, gang activity, alcohol and tobacco use, driver and bicycle safety, and driving under the influence, are equally important. Additionally, as the State and region continues to experience civil unrest and an unprecedented number of natural and man-made disasters, the City recognizes the importance of a comprehensive approach to public safety.
Recommended Updates
: Staff recommends updating the LAP to include the following position statements:
· Support legislation that standardizes policies, training and accountability in the use of police canines to enhance both officer and community safety.
· Support efforts and funding that promotes rapid implementation, enforcement, and prosecution of laws aimed at reducing gun violence. This position statement replaces an existing position statement that states, “Support legislation that seeks to impose stricter gun violence laws and/or requires the safe storage of unattended firearms, including background checks and City of Santa Clara Printed on 2/21/2025Page 5 of 10
powered by Legistar™

training requirements for gun sales.”
· Support efforts that facilitate the timely and complete implementation of voter-approved public safety initiatives, as well as legislatively approved measures aimed at reducing crime and increasing public safety.
· Support efforts to maintain public agencies’ ability to provide 9-11 system ambulance transportation and other emergency medical services.
· Support funding and efforts for public safety resources to implement a holistic approach to supporting the unhoused community and its perceived impact on community safety. · Support legislation that allows officers to initiate a vehicle pursuit, and to have the responsibility to terminate the pursuit when the benefits of immediate apprehension are outweighed by the hazards of continuing the pursuit.
Staff also recommends updating the following existing position statements to make clarifications and/or expand their scope:
· Support efforts to reduce the list of who can seek early parole and re-classify some theft crimes from misdemeanors to felonies by reforming Assembly Bill 109 (approved by the Legislature in 2011), Proposition 47 (approved by voters in 2014) and Proposition 57 (approved by voters in 2016). Proposed updates to the position statement will expand it to “Support efforts that continue to address addiction as a health issue requiring treatment and drug and theft crimes, as well as a stricter stance on repeat offenders, through a new approach to prosecution and sentencing, including but not limited to “wobbler” offenses. A far- reaching approach with the intent to address the negative implications of Assembly Bill 109 (approved by the Legislature in 2011), Proposition 47 (approved by voters in 2014) and Proposition 57 (approved by voters in 2016) balances public safety with fair and proportionate treatment for offenders.”
· Support legislation that preserves, or expands, funding levels for public safety programs, services, reimbursement of administrative costs associated with grant implementation, record keeping and reporting, and equipment, such as the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants. Proposed updates expand the position to include reimbursement for administrative costs incurred by civilian/professional personnel. · Support legislation that addresses crime trends and attempts to curb illegal activity, including but not limited to, illegal street racing and sideshow activity, thefts from automobile burglaries, and organized retail thefts, all of which are growing trends in our region. Proposed updates expand the position to include drug trafficking and human trafficking. · Support legislation that identifies new funding sources for fire and law enforcement agencies to promote First Responder wellness and employee training. Proposed update clarifies wellness and training for all classifications of employees in public safety. · Support legislation and efforts that aim to provide public safety resources that will be used and implemented to ensure safe and successful major events throughout the City. Proposed update includes support for funding.
· Monitor the California Police Chiefs Association positions on legislation and advocate for those that benefit Santa Clara and align with the League of California Cities’ position. Proposed update includes the California Fire Chiefs’ Association.

Regional Issues and Collaboration
While the City of Santa Clara is unique in many ways, it experiences many of the same issues as other cities in the region. As described in other LAPs, the City works closely with other jurisdictions to address a variety of issues that impact residents and businesses in Silicon Valley and the greater San Francisco Bay Area, such as affordable housing, homelessness, transportation, emergency management, sustainability, water conservation, and airplane noise. The City recognizes the importance of regional collaboration and participates in various regional organizations to not only advance the City’s goals but to contribute to regional work efforts.
Recommended Updates
: Staff recommends updating this LAP to include the following position statements, including those that reflect Councilmember(s)’s feedback:
· Support efforts to maintain and protect federal and state funding for existing City programs and services.
· Support efforts to modernize the Brown Act, particularly as in pertains to the rules related to usage of, and public notice requirements for, remote videoconferencing technology for meetings.
Additionally, staff recommends expanding an existing position statement that supports federal and state legislation to provide funding for regional solutions to problems to include climate change and sustainability.
Sustainability and Environmental Protection
The City strives to conduct its operations in a way that is environmentally conscious and promotes sustainability and is dedicated to collaborating with regional stakeholders to improve the air quality, water quality, and overall environmental quality of life for the residents and businesses of the City.
Sustainability and environmental issues at the state and federal levels will likely continue to result in new legislation and regulation changes that could significantly impact the City. The City’s monitoring and advocacy efforts will be geared towards ensuring that emerging legislation and regulations align with the City’s interests in providing sustainable services to its residents and businesses.
Recommended Updates
: Staff recommends updating this LAP to include the following position statements:
· Support funding opportunities that will assist with the transition of the City’s vehicle fleet to low - or zero-emission vehicles.

· Support legislation and funding for resiliency to develop home hardening, defensible space at the home and neighborhood level.
Staff also recommends updating the following existing position statements to make clarifications or expand their scope:

Proposed updates include tracking the process of infrastructure improvements that provide coastal flood protection from a rising sea level and support for funding efforts.
Transportation Issues
The City of Santa Clara believes that a robust transportation network, and related infrastructure, is a critical element to a successful and thriving community. The City works with the federal government, State government, and regional stakeholders to ensure that residents and businesses have access to traditional modes of transportation and promote alternative modes that would alleviate traffic congestion and pollution. Additionally, it is important for the City’s transportation network to continue to evolve to best serve the future needs of the community.
Recommended Updates
: Staff recommends updating this LAP to include a position statement, that reflect Councilmember(s)’s feedback, to support efforts to ensure financial stability for local public transit operators. Staff also recommends making minor edits to an existing position statement related to supporting efforts to ensure accountability and fairness during the implementation of regional transportation ballot measures to include legislation and adoption of the measures.
Water Supply and Conservation
The City of Santa Clara operates 19 wells that tap the underground aquifers and make up about 62% of the City's potable water supply. The underground aquifers are replenished from local reservoirs by the Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD) water recharge program. The remaining water is supplied by water imported from the SCVWD and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) through the Hetch-Hetchy Reservoir.
For certain approved non-potable uses, recycled water from the San Jose/Santa Clara Regional Wastewater Facility's South Bay Water Recycling (SBWR) facility is used. This highly treated water delivered through separate pipelines makes up about 20% of the water sales in the City. Recycled water offsets the use of potable sources in drought-prone California and is a reliable source for conservation of potable sources. The City continues to work closely with SBWR in order to increase recycled water supplies in order to meet existing demands within the City.
The City continually works to meet State reporting requirements. The State Water Resources Control Board adopted new regulations in July 2024, Making Conservation a California Way of Life, that establish unique efficiency goals for each urban retail water supplier in California. As part of the regulation, suppliers-not individual households or businesses-will be held to Urban Water Use Objectives. Starting January 1, 2025, and by January 1 every year after, each urban retail water supplier must calculate its Urban Water Use Objective and, beginning January 1, 2027, annually demonstrate compliance with its objective.

BROADBAND, CABLE SERVICES, AND WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES Overview
The wireless telecommunications industry hasfederal and state governments have made efforts to limit or preempt local control over placement of wireless telecommunications facilities and supporting structures in and outside the rights of way. Over the past several years, actions by federal and state lawmakers, and regulating entities, have resulted in the adoption of regulations and orders controlling local authority over placement of wireless facilities, including the adoption of “shot clocks” requiring local agencies to complete review of projects within a specified time period.
Additionally, through the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)’s proposed rulemaking, there have been efforts in recent years to address whether local franchising authorities (LFAs) can regulate incumbent cable operators and cable television services. The City has its own government access channel (Santa Clara City Television on Comcast cable channel 15 and AT&T U-verse 99), which may be negatively impacted by such FCC rulings, in addition to state and federal legislation and similar legislation and activities . Santa Clara City Television is used to provide important information to the public, such as live and recorded airings of Council meetings, City special events, programs, and public service announcements.
Guiding Principles
The City of Santa Clara’s guiding principles for legislative advocacy include and are not limited to:
• Support the League of California Cities and National League of Cities positions on priority bills that benefit Santa Clara.
• Protect local revenue sources and prevent unfunded mandates. • Protect and/or increase funding for specific programs and services. • Protect and/or increase local government discretion.
• Advance approved policies such as the City’s Statement of Values, the General Plan, or the Climate Action Plan.
Legislative Advocacy Position
The City believes that it should maintain local authority over the placement of wireless telecommunications facilities, in order to ensure that a balance is reached between the infrastructure needs and the needs of the community. As such, the City:
• Supports efforts to increase access to broadband to address the digital equity divide, including in underserved urban communities, while ensuring the placement and installation of needed equipment does not undermine local permitting authority and does not pose an undue nuisance for residents.
• Supports efforts to retain and expand local control of permitting wireless telecommunications and non-cable services facilities in the public-right-of-way. • Supports legislation that provides opportunity for public input on the placement of wireless telecommunications facilities.
For City Council Consideration on February 25, 2025
• Monitors legislation related to distributed energy generation via back-up power at wireless telecommunications facilities.
• Monitors regulatory and rulemaking activities by the Federal Communications Commission, and California Public Utilities Commission, for potential impacts to telecommunications, broadband, and cable infrastructure within the City. • Oppose legislation and efforts to limit the amount of time, or scope, of local review of the placement of wireless facilities.

WATER SUPPLY AND CONSERVATION
Overview
The City of Santa Clara operates 19 wells that tap the underground aquifers and make up about 62% of the City's potable water supply. The underground aquifers are replenished from local reservoirs by the Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD) water recharge program. The remaining water is supplied by water imported from the SCVWD and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) through the Hetch-Hetchy Reservoir.
For certain approved non-potable uses, recycled water from the San Jose/Santa Clara Regional Wastewater Facility's South Bay Recycled Water (SBWR) facility is used. This highly treated water delivered through separate pipelines makes up about 20% of the water sales in the City.
Recycled water offsets the use of potable sources in drought-prone California and is a reliable source for conservation of potable sources. The City continues to work closely with SBWR in order to increase recycled water supplies in order to meet existing demands within the City.
The City continually works to meet State reporting requirements. The State Water Resources Control Board adopted new regulations in July 2024, Making Conservation a California Way of Life, that establish unique efficiency goals for each urban retail water supplier in California. As part of the regulation, suppliers—not individual households or businesses—will be held to Urban Water Use Objectives. Starting January 1, 2025, and by January 1 every year after, each urban retail water supplier must calculate its Urban Water Use Objective and, beginning January 1, 2027, annually demonstrate compliance with its objective.

BROADBAND, CABLE SERVICES, AND WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES Overview
The federal and state governments have made efforts to limit or preempt local control over placement of wireless telecommunications facilities and supporting structures in and outside the rights of way. Over the past several years, actions by federal and state lawmakers, and regulating entities, have resulted in the adoption of regulations and orders controlling local authority over placement of wireless facilities, including the adoption of “shot clocks” requiring local agencies to complete review of projects within a specified time period.
Additionally, through Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rulemaking, there have been efforts in recent years to address whether local franchising authorities (LFAs) can regulate incumbent cable operators and cable television services. The City has its own government access channel (Santa Clara City Television on Comcast cable channel 15 and AT&T U-verse 99), which may be negatively impacted by FCC rulings, in addition to state and federal legislation. Santa Clara City Television is used to provide important information to the public, such as live and recorded airings of Council meetings, City special events, programs, and public service announcements.

WATER SUPPLY AND CONSERVATION
Overview
The City of Santa Clara operates 19 wells that tap the underground aquifers and make up about 62% of the City's potable water supply. The underground aquifers are replenished from local reservoirs by the Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD) water recharge program. The remaining water is supplied by water imported from the SCVWD and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) through the Hetch-Hetchy Reservoir.
For certain approved non-potable uses, recycled water from the San Jose/Santa Clara Regional Wastewater Facility's South Bay Recycled Water (SBWR) facility is used. This highly treated water delivered through separate pipelines makes up about 20% of the water sales in the City.
Recycled water offsets the use of potable sources in drought-prone California and is a reliable source for conservation of potable sources. The City continues to work closely with SBWR in order to increase recycled water supplies in order to meet existing demands within the City.
The City continually works to meet State reporting requirements. The State Water Resources Control Board adopted new regulations in July 2024, Making Conservation a California Way of Life, that establish unique efficiency goals for each urban retail water supplier in California. As part of the regulation, suppliers—not individual households or businesses—will be held to Urban Water Use Objectives. Starting January 1, 2025, and by January 1 every year after, each urban retail water supplier must calculate its Urban Water Use Objective and, beginning January 1, 2027, annually demonstrate compliance with its objective.
Guiding Principles
The City of Santa Clara’s guiding principles for legislative advocacy include and are not limited to:
• Support the League of California Cities and National League of Cities positions on priority bills that benefit Santa Clara.
• Protect local revenue sources and prevent unfunded mandates. • Protect and/or increase funding for specific programs and services. • Protect and/or increase local government discretion.
• Advance approved policies such as the City’s Statement of Values, the General Plan, or the Climate Action Plan.
Legislative Advocacy Position
In order to ensure that the City is able to maintain an affordable and reliable supply of quality water, the City maintains the following advocacy positions:
• Support Making Conservation a California Way of Life legislation and funding.
• Support and implement water conservation, or demand reduction, measures for businesses and residents including state regulatory efforts which build on ongoing efforts to “Making Water Conservation a California Way of Life.” • Support California Municipal Utilities Association (CMUA) positions on legislation that benefit Santa Clara.
For City Council Consideration on February 25, 2025
• Support State initiatives to fund water supply projects to improve water supply conditions including expediting permitting for recharge and other projects to mitigate the ongoing climate-driven emergency drought conditions.
• Support regional water conservation including potable and recycled water supply efforts in cooperation with agencies such as Santa Clara Valley Water District, City of San Jose, San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), and the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency.
• Support efforts to establish alternative funding sources for water infrastructure and improved water quality projects.
• Support state and regional efforts to delivery water to Santa Clara customers using clean energy and other environmentally sustainable practices. • Support legislation and funding to protect the public health of the community from the exposure to water quality contaminants including lead in drinking water at daycares, school facilities, residences, and commercial facilities.
• Support legislation and funding with regional partners that allows purified recycled water to be added to the potable water supply through indirect and direct applications that improve local water resiliency for residents and businesses.
• Support regional partners and wholesale water providers in their efforts to ensure water supply reliability by protecting against any water rights curtailments under the California current water rights system that might impact Santa Clara customers. • Support legislation that provides flexibility to utilize revenue for the implementation of low- income rate assistance programs, or similar assistance programs. • Support legislation and efforts aimed at reducing water loss, including increased penalties associated with water and water related appurtenances theft. • Work with regional partners to maintain the reliability of the water supply and water sustainability to support current customers and to allow for expected growth in the near future and beyond.
• Monitor federal, state, and regional activity related to the Bay -Delta Plan. Support a comprehensive Bay -Delta watershed voluntary settlement agreement between stakeholders that includes SFPUC.

25-148 Agenda Date: 2/25/2025
Side Letter Agreement between the City of Santa Clara and the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees (Unit 6) that modifies the class specifications for the Grounds Maintenance Worker series
The Grounds Maintenance Worker I/II/III series was updated to incorporate duties from the Cemetery Worker I/II/III series to allow for additional cross-training opportunities, meet staffing capacity, and allow incumbents to gain additional experience to assist with promotional advancement. Additionally, the classification revisions included updates to the Minimum Qualification section and administrative revisions throughout the class specifications. These modifications were approved by the Civil Service Commission on February 13, 2025.
Through a Side Letter Agreement with the City of Santa Clara and the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees, Local 101 (Unit 6), the Department of Parks & Recreation coordinated with the Human Resources Department to propose modifications to the following class specifications in the Grounds Maintenance Worker classification series: Grounds Maintenance Worker I (Job Code 485), Grounds Maintenance Worker II (Job Code 490), and Grounds Maintenance Worker III (Job Code 495). Current employees in the classifications will be grandfathered into the current classification which will be renumbered on a temporary basis to Grounds Maintenance Worker I (Job Code 485A), Grounds Maintenance Worker II (Job Code 490A), and Grounds Maintenance Worker III (Job Code 495A). These temporary (“terminal”) classifications will be eliminated once they are vacated by the incumbents through promotion or attrition.
Additionally, this would delete the Cemetery Worker I (Job Code 290), Cemetery Worker II (Job Code 295), and Cemetery Worker III (Job Code 300) class specifications as these job duties are absorbed into the Grounds Maintenance Worker classification.
