Coverage of the Tuesday, June 6, 2023 Cupertino City Council Meeting.
Part 2 of 2
A
Okay,
I
like
to
call
the
council
back
to
action.
Please
we
are
moving
to
the
action
item
number
one,
which
is
item
number
12.,
consider
the
recommended
operating
and
capital
Improvement
program
budget
for
fiscal
year,
2023
2024,
adoption
of
the
operating
and
capital
Improvement
program
budget
for
fiscal
year,
23

established
by
the
appropriation
limit
and
related
actions.
A
B
Good
evening,
honorable
mayor
and
city
council,
thank
you
for
joining
us
today.
As
we
present
the
fiscal
year,
22
20
22,
sorry,
2023,
24
proposed
budget
in
this
presentation.
We'll
discuss
the
changes,
since
the
proposed
budget
was
printed
on
May
5th
and
outline
the
next
steps
in
the
budget
cycle
to
assist
us
deployment.
Directors
are
present
and
ready
to
address
any
questions
you
may
have
to
ensure
the
budget
aligns
with
the
community's
desires
and
priorities.
City
staff
conducted
a
community
budget
survey
and
hosted
a
series
of
budget
Outreach
events.
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
Now,
let's
highlight
the
changes
that
I've
could,
since
the
proposed
budget
was
printed,
the
proposed
budget
initially
recommended
expenses
of
117.8
million.
However,
the
proposed
budget
has
decreased
by
a
hundred
thousand
due
to
operating
changes,
as
well
as
increased
by
4.1
million
due
to
the
capital
Improvement
program
projects,
as
well
as
transfers
from
the
capital
reserve
and
as
of
June
6.
The
proposed
budget
now
stands
at
121.7
million.
B
B
Moving
on
to
the
financial
overview
by
fund,
we
can
see
the
revenues,
expenditures
and
fund
balance
by
fund
in
the
general
fund.
Expenditures
are
86
million,
funded
by
revenues
of
80.4
million
and
fund
balance
of
5.6
million,
when
considering
all
funds,
total
expenditures
reach
121.7
million,
which
is
supported
by
revenues
of
110.3
million
and
11.4
million
in
fund
balance.
B
First
Community
grant,
funding
and
movies
in
the
Poke
which
had
been
reduced
in
the
proposed
budget
have
been
restored
through
a
city
council
straw
poll
at
the
proposed
budget
study
session
on
May
17th
Community
grant
funding
would
increase
by
eight
thousand
to
thirty
two
thousand
five
hundred
in
total.
In
addition,
we
would
add
8
380
for
movies
in
the
park
for
part-time
and
part-time
Staffing
and
materials
costs.
B
The
other
items
on
this
list
are
changes
that
came
up
after
the
budget
was
printed
on.
May
5th,
the
city's
man,
the
city
manager's
office,
is
requesting
to
reclassify
the
emergency
services
coordinator
as
assistant
to
the
city
manager,
with
the
working
title
of
emergency
manager,
salaries
and
benefits
for
the
increase
are
28
784.
B
The
next
item
is
regarding
the
elimination
of
Festival
fee
waivers.
This
was
initially
proposed
by
staff
as
a
potential
Revenue
source.
However,
City
staff
has
identified
alternative
cost-saving
measures
such
as
prepaying
the
unfunded
accrued
liability
or
ual
to
save
154
000,
as
well
as
eliminating
Library
extra
hours.
Funding
to
save
a
hundred
and
sixty
thousand
so
taking
these
savings
into
account.
Staff
suggests
removing
item
I
from
the
recommended
action.
B
In
addition,
if
Festival
fees
are
not
waived,
some
festivals
May
become
financially
unviable,
potentially
leading
to
the
cancellation
of
some
of
them.
As
a
result,
staff
recommends
removing
the
elimination
of
Festival
fee
waivers
item
I
from
the
recommended
action,
and
so
this
would
cross
out
this
line
item
that
we
have
on
a
on
the
screen.
B
Next,
as
part
of
a
cost-saving
initiative,
the
admin
Services
deployment
request
to
make
a
lump
sum
prepayment
towards
the
Calpers
Pension
Plan
unfunded
accrued
liability.
The
unfunded
accrued
liability
is
the
difference
between
the
pension
plans,
assets
and
liabilities
and
by
prepaying
the
city
will
save
3.4
percent
in
interest
equivalent
to
154
149
dollars.
B
B
B
This
slide
shows
the
capital
Improvement
program,
which
was
presented
to
you
by
director
Mosley
on
May
17th.
The
capital
Improvement
program
budget
itself
is
2.027
million.
In
addition,
2.027
million
is
also
being
transferred
from
the
capital
reserve
to
the
capital
Improvement
program
fund.
Bringing
the
total
to
4.1
million
transfers
from
the
capital
reserve
are
made
every
year
in
order
to
fund
capital
projects.
B
B
B
In
addition,
the
supplemental
report
provides
the
responses
to
council
questions
that
we
received
before
tonight's
meeting.
It
also
includes
a
list
of
teen
and
Senior
programs
that
are
being
cut
as
well
as
ones
that
aren't
being
cut.
The
city
will
be
continuing
to
team
volunteer
fair
in
bobatino.
Through
other
events,
staff
will
be
working
at
the
Youth
Activity
Board
and
team
commission
to
offer
the
most
interesting
and
needed
events
as
programs
for
teens.
B
A
If
not,
can
I
ask
my
two
questions?
First,
my
first
question
is
I.
Do
understand
when
we
talk
about
Shakespeare
in
the
park.
Parker
Recreation
director
Rochelle
did
say
that
it's
not
in
the
budget,
but
the
city
was
support,
fundraising
to
make
sure
it
functions
this
summer.
Is
that
a
correct
assumption,
sorry
Russia.
A
C
A
A
I,
really
like
that
and
I
do
believe
those
non-profits
who
are
or
trying
to
do
the
festivals.
It's
a
big
sum
of
the
money
I
was
trying
to
find
the
attachment
D.
What
is
the
sheriff's
total
that
we
we
cut?
It's
a
for
around
40,
000,
I,
would
say
sorry.
I
I
was
trying
to
find
that
document.
I
couldn't
I
think
it's
around
forty
thousand.
A
A
E
No
okay
go
ahead
so
just
to
piggyback
off
of
the
last
question,
it's
not
clear
to
me
that
I
has
actually
been
removed.
I
hear
you
saying
that
there
is
no
longer
staff's
recommendation
that
we
move
forward
with
I,
but
it
does
still
appear
in
the
recommended
action.
So
would
we,
in
the
course
of
emotion,
have
to
proactively
strike
item
one
I.
E
F
F
G
It
was
not
at
in
previous
years.
It
was
more
important
to
maintain
local
control
of
the
dollars,
as
opposed
to
putting
them
into
Calpers
once
they're
in
Calpers
Calpers
invest
them.
If
the
city
is
able
to
keep
more
dollars
on,
we
can
invest
them
within
our
funds
instead.
So
the
goal
in
Prior
years
was
more
local
control
this
year.
As
we're
looking
to
find
ways
to
reduce
our
expenses,
we
thought
this
was
a
better
option
for
the.
F
G
I
Moore,
please
quick
question
with
regards
to
attachment
D
the
reclassification
of
the
emergency
services
coordinator.
Would
you
happen
to
know
what
increase
that
is
from?
What's
the
what's
the
base
amount
and
then
you're,
adding
the
28
784
I'm,
going
to
assume
that
that's
basically
a
raise
for
this
for
this
individual?
Is
that
right
and
what
what
did
they
start
at
and
and
what
will
they
finish
at
with
this.
G
I
A
J
K
K
Thank
you
good
evening,
city,
council
and
City
staff.
My
name
is
Elisa
sakis
I'm,
the
president
of
Cupertino
toyakawa,
sister
cities.
We
call
ourselves
ctsc
and
with
me,
I
have
some
members
of
my
board
and
committee
Gene
Gene
gasparini
secretary
Gilbert,
Wong
committee,
Gary
McHugh,
is
on
the
committee
and
Fran
Ellis
is
our
CFO,
so
we
were
very
happy
to
hear
that
you
removed.
The
recommendation
is
to
remove
one
I
just
wanted
to
speak
to
that
a
little
bit.
K
Ctsc
is
an
all-volunteer
non-profit
organization
that
works
very
hard
to
nurture
the
city
of
cupertino's,
sister
city
relationship
with
toyokawa
Japan
for
the
benefit
of
the
city
and
the
community.
Besides
honoring
the
city's
relationship
with
with
toyokawa
and
sharing
Japanese
culture
with
the
community,
it
is
the
sole
raiser
for
our
programming,
and
these
funds
are
used
for
various
things.
The
expenses
for
our
student
exchange,
which
allows
us
to
send
cusd
teachers
and
offer
scholarships
to
students,
For
Those,
whom
otherwise
there
would
be
a
financial
barrier
to
their
participation.
K
So
we
really
appreciate
the
budget
pressures
But
continuing
to
waive
these
fees
will
help
ctsc
support
the
city
of
cupertino's
relationship
with
its
sister
city,
a
partnership
that
is
celebrating
its
45th
anniversary
this
year
and
ctsc
very
much
values
our
partnership
with
the
city,
and
we
really
hope
that
you
will
indeed
make
the
right
decision
to
remove
item
one
eye
from
the
budget
report.
So
thank
you
very
much
and
I.
Don't
know
if
maybe
Gary
wanted
to
add
use
a
little
bit
more
time.
If
there's
some,
he
had
some
great
I,
don't
want
to
waste.
L
Your
time
I
know
how
that
is,
but
but
I
just
want
to
point
out.
You
know
it's
more
than
just
a
sister
city
relationship.
It's
really
a
community
relationship
and-
and
we
try
to
offer
something-
that's
joyful
to
the
community
also
provides
art,
appreciation
and
education.
So
it's
really
when
all
around
and
it
doesn't
cost
that
much
in
my
opinion,
so
I
hope
you
can
see
through
the
removing
item
I.
Thank
you.
J
M
Good
evening,
Lauren
Mahoney
54-year
resident
of
Cupertino
speaking
kind
of
officially
from
the
Rotary
Club
of
Cupertino
and
its
Festival,
but
really
for
all
the
festivals,
so
I've
been
involved
in
Cupertino
festivals
for
probably
over
20
years,
not
just
the
Fall
Festival,
but
Diwali
everything.
Every
festival
and
I've
participated
in
Cupertino
sponsored
activities.
I've
been
Uncle,
Sam
Fourth
of
July
and
I've
been
I
hope.
All
the
kids
are
asleep
by
now,
I've
been
Santa
Claus
at
the
tree
lighting,
so
I've
been
out
there
for
all
things.
M
I
I
want
to
start
by
saying
that
I'm
not
sure
that
you
understand
how
tight
the
budgets
are
on
all
these
festivals,
and
you
heard
a
little
bit
on
the
Cherry
Blossom
Festival.
None
of
them,
in
my
opinion,
would
exist
without
help
from
sponsorships.
That's
how
they
make
their
money,
otherwise
they
don't
break.
Even
we
already
have
a
challenge
in
this
coming
up
year.
I
know
I'll
speak
for
Fall
Festival.
Now,
where
I've
got
the
numbers
with
the
sheriff's
change,
you
saw
that
was
34
000.
M
M
Without
the
fee
waiver,
we
would
lose
money
and
we
like
to
put
on
the
festival-
it's
not
just
there
to
raise
money,
but
it
is
there
to
raise
money
and
we're
probably
not
as
a
basically
a
charitable
organization,
not
there
to
provide
a
party
for
the
city.
Even
though
that's
what
we
do
so
you
would
lose
the
festival,
in
particular
for
the
Fall
Festival,
in
addition
to
just
the
Goodwill
in
the
community
and
the
fact
the
community
likes
to
come
out
there.
M
You
may
know
that
over
the
past
many
years,
we've
had
the
health
and
safety
zone
there,
where
we
have
10
City
booths
from
all
the
different
areas
that
would
go
away.
We
wouldn't
have
that
we
have
the
environmental
Zone,
where
we
have
all
a
lot
of
non-profits
and
climate
in
the
other
areas.
That
would
all
go
away
and
then,
of
course,
the
money
that
we
do
raise,
which
all
goes
to
charitable
events
for
the
city
would
go
away.
M
N
Thank
you,
city,
council
boy.
This
is
always
interesting
when
we're
talking
about
budgets,
you
all
have
done
a
really
great
job
of
dealing
with
this
it
it's
not
fun
to
be.
During
crunch
times,
I've
worked
at
three
startup
companies
of
very,
very
tiny
sizes,
and
when
you
do
your
rounds
of
venture
capital,
the
second,
the
third,
the
fourth
and
sometimes
there's
nothing
left
and
the
company
is
either
sold
or
it
goes
under.
N
The
city
therefore,
will
will
remain.
The
main
thing
is:
don't
panic
things
like
this
happen?
The
first
question,
I
have
and
I'm
gonna
go
out
on
a
limb
here.
Is
we
have
an
audit
of
Apple?
Why
is
this
happening?
It
is
I've
talked
to
my
husband
and
some
other
people
about
this.
It
is
completely
legitimate
to
have
this
type
of
tax
infrastructure
in
California.
N
William
Sonoma
has
the
same
setup
with
the
city
in
Southern
California,
and
there
are
several
others.
My
question
is
Don't.
Panic
is
once
let's
wait
until
about
the
state
has
finished
their
audit
two
to
three
months
Etc,
and
then
we
start
coming
back
and
asking
the
state.
I
I
really
am
concerned
that
the
state
might
be
squeezing
Cupertino
over
other
issues.
I
would
hate
to
think
that
Cupertino
is
being
harassed
because
of
housing,
element,
Apple,
etc,
etc,
etc.
N
There's
been
a
lot
of
dirt
thrown
at
Cupertino
from
the
state
level,
etc,
etc,
and
I
I'm
just
going
to
put
this
out
there.
We
don't
know
what
what
started
this
audit
it
may
be
just
because
of
who
Cupertino
is
and
the
fact
that
apple
is
there.
It
is
not
illegal
to
have
this
type
of
structure.
I
have
been
told
this
by
several
people,
so
ask
questions,
file
a
report
and
say:
what's
the
deal
here,
you
know
you
we're
I'm,
sorry
we're
in
a
democracy,
and
we
can
ask
questions.
N
N
Also
don't
sell
Parkland,
it
is
probably
illegal
to
sell
Parkland
the
the
Blackberry
Farm
was
bought
by
Bond
people
voted
for
it.
1990
I.
Don't
think
that
we
can
sell
Parkland.
Unless
you
have
a
city-wide
election
stabilize
City
Hall,
you
know,
don't
build
a
new
one,
stabilize
the
old
one
and
Mentor
employees
cross-train
them
and
let
them.
O
O
That
said
I
urge
you
to
not
vote
for
this
overly
bloated
budget.
Today,
we
still
have
time
to
do
it
right.
First
and
foremost,
we
need
to
have
a
line
by
line
reconciliation
of
budgets
to
actual
from
the
past
three
years.
If
we
had
those,
then
we
would
have
known
where
we
underestimated
expenses
and
where
we've
overestimated
one
notable
area.
An
overestimation
was
the
anticipated
Library
fees
that
were
never
owed
to
the
county.
O
Thanks
for
to
council
member
Moore
for
finding
that,
with
her
brilliant
analytical
skills
from
the
budget
presentation,
the
previous
year's
total
actuals
were
around
80
million
dollars.
Now
we're
at
117
million
and
we're
about
to
be
dipping
into
savings
for
at
least
a
decade.
Police
also
consider
that
our
going
into
savings
is
not
as
apparent
now,
because
funds
should
have
been
put
into
long-term
savings,
and
they
were
in
instead
put
into
an
unallocated
Fund
Store.
Actually
dip
into
savings
appears
to
be
lower.
O
Can
we
please
understand
and
I
also
want
to
thank
staff
very
much
for
providing
the
written
answers
to
City
Council
Members?
The
data
on
the
city.
Employment
was
especially
helpful
and
meanwhile,
please,
you
know
many
many
more
jobs
have
been
are
being
allocated
and
the
city
has
been
on.
A
hiring
spree
head
count
is
one
of
our
biggest
cost
centers
and
one
of
the
hardest
things
to
cut.
We
need
to
be
more
careful
in
our
hiring.
O
As
far
as
on
the
revenue
side,
please
consider
a
head
count,
tax
and
fix
the
city
hall.
Instead
of
building
a
new
one.
We
also
have
to
be
concerned
about
the
cost
of
Maintenance
and
absolutely
positively
Jennifer
Griffin
said,
don't
sell
our
properties,
don't
sell
our
water
and
don't
sell
our
parks
and
we
paid
for
those
we
voted
for
them.
We
voted
ourselves
to
tax
ourselves
to
purchase
the
water
and
the
parks
directly
don't
sell
them.
O
Please
we've
got
to
reduce
this
budget
if
you're
not
willing
to
do
it
now.
Please
agree
to
review
the
budget
when
we
get
a
final
decision
from
the
cdtfa.
I
would
also
reiterate
that
there's
been
no
information
providing
on
how
the
city
budget
will
be
affected
if
we
have
to
pay
money
back
to
the
state,
and
that
worries
me.
Thank
you.
J
P
Hello,
mayor
V
and
vice
mayor
moon
and
the
city
council
I,
wanted
to
ask
from
the
prior
hearing
that
we
had
on
this
topic.
There
were
Cuts
made
to
janitorial
services
at
City
facilities
that
include
Sparks
and
Library
I.
Believe
I'd
like
to
ask
you
to
look
into
making
sure
that
we
do
not
cut
back
on
janitorial
services,
which
is
a
real
concern
from
a
health
perspective
coming
out
of
three
years
of
covid-19,
we
should
be
paying
more
attention
to
health
and
safety.
P
I,
also
I'm,
not
clear
on
where
we
ended
up
on
the
law
enforcement,
as
we've
seen
in
various
cities.
These
events
have
attracted
unfortunate
incidents
that
have
impacted
and
had
tragic
consequences,
and
we
request
you
to
please
keep
Public
Safety
in
mind
and
not
cut
back
on
law
enforcement.
At
our
events,
we
want
to
make
sure
we
enjoy
our
events
safely
and
Public.
Safety
is
not
up
for
cuts.
P
I
also
want
to
bring
back
the
topic
of
the
allocation
for
the
bounce
houses
at
the
various
City
events.
At
the
last
meeting,
there
were
a
number
of
cuts
that
were
identified,
most
of
them
targeting
some
of
the
kids
programs,
such
as
all
the
funding
for
the
kids
activities,
bounce
houses,
the
the
funding
for
Boba,
Tina
and
so
on.
I
would
request
you
to
re-evaluate
all
of
the
cuts
that
happened
for
our
kids
and
teen
events.
It
looks
like
a
number
of
budget
savings
have
been
identified.
P
It
also
looks
like
a
number
of
cuts
were
or
fitted
in
order
to
not
have
to
cut
those
because
the
budget
savings
were
identified.
Please
don't
forget
our
kids
and
teens
in
this
process.
I
know
each
of
you
individually
through
your
past
actions,
have
shown
a
commitment
to
our
kids
and
teens.
We
have
two
school
board
members
or
former
school
board
members
on
the
dice.
We
have
multiple
members
that
have
shown
and
continue
to
show
engagement
with
our
youth.
Please
don't
leave
them
behind
the
funding
that
we
put
into
the
senior
center.
P
We
should
be
putting
into
our
kids
and
teens
they're
our
future.
The
Cupertino
teal
Center
has
been
closed
since
covert.
I.
Ask
you
to
please
respect
that
and
finally,
please
consider
my
earlier
plea
to
purchase
the
Montebello
School
for
less
than
two
million
dollars.
Perhaps
you
can
negotiate
with
cosd,
bring
it
down
even
further
and
consider
development
of
a
city
park
at
the
beautiful
Scenic
location
of
Montebello
School.
It
will
be
one
of
the
most
scenic
city
parks,
not
only
Cupertino,
but
for
all
of
the
cities
to
enjoy.
P
Thank
you
for
looking
into
funding
for
janitorial
services,
funding
for
the
kids
and
teens
events,
making
sure
our
bounce
houses
are
not
taken
away,
making
sure
our
teen
center
is
reopened.
I
also
want
to
say
that
child
care
at
the
sports
center
has
also
been
closed
since
covert
19..
It
looks
like
the
kids
are
paying
the
price.
A
I
A
I
would
like
to
ask
staff
I
do
believe
from
the
previous
that
our
last
study
session
to
now
we
have
allocated
a
few
more
revenues:
the
reduction
of
150
4149,
the
library
160
160
000.
Thank
you,
councilmember
Moore,
and
there
was
another
item,
additional
revenue
of
300
303
218
because
of
the
update
on
sb1,
so
that
has
been
added
back
to
the
revenue
part
of
it.
A
A
So
I
I,
don't
know
what
my
fellow
council
members
think
I
would
really
love
to
support
our
festivals
and
add
back
the
36
492,
the
sheriff's
expenses,
because
I
do
believe.
That's
a
great
service.
Festival
is
a
great
service
to
our
residents.
I've
been
to
almost
every
one
of
them
every
year.
It's
so
well
attended
in
a
family's
kids.
Teenagers
all
go
I
really
hate
to
because
of
this
that
we
are
unable
to
or
one
or
two
unable
to
host
it.
A
So
that
is
my
personal
desire
and
I
do
want
to
emphasize
shaking
up
Shakespeare
in
the
park.
I
understand
the
30
000.
If
it's
not
being
raised,
our
city
will
be
able
to
make
it
out
to
make
sure
it
happens
this
year.
So
next
year
we
can
go
from
there,
but
if
I
read
their
email
correctly,
they
plan
chasing
appear
in
the
park
a
year
ahead
of
time,
so
we
almost
have
to
commit
to
next
year.
A
Very
soon,
if
that's
gonna
happen
to
us
on
next
year's
budget
and
I,
don't
know
how
long
they,
how
how
far
ahead
they
plan
it.
But
my
impression
is:
they
almost
have
to
plan
now
to
get
a
come
in
for
next
year
and
I
did
know
that
San
Jose
stopped
funding
them
a
few
years
back
and
found
that
they're
not
in
San
Jose
anymore,
so
I
would
hate
for
our
community
to
to
lose
that.
So
my
other
proposal
is
put
the
thirty
thousand
dollar
this
year
and
ask
them
to
fundraise
for
next
year.
A
A
I'm
asking
us
to
fund
it
this
year
and
they
can
start
a
fun
ways
for
next
year,
because
if
I
understand
correctly,
they
are
scheduling
now
for
next
year
already.
If
they
don't
get
a
commitment
from
us
from
next
year,
they
might
just
cancel
it.
That's
what
happened
to
San
Jose
and
a
couple
other
cities.
That
would
be
my
proposal
that
we
funded
this
year
and
ask
them
to
fundraise
for
next
year.
Okay,.
J
A
Certainly
for
next
year,
because
this
year
I
know
it
will
happen
because
they're
going
to
fundraise
and
our
city
have
money,
but
I
would
like
to
commit
to
this
year
and
as
the
funding
the
fundraise
for
next
year.
So
they
schedule
us
into
next
year
else.
I
am
afraid.
Toby
is
not
here
to
answer
questions
I'm
afraid
they
might
not
schedule
us
next
year
if
they
don't
get
the
guaranteed
funding
from
the
city
or
guaranteed
fundraiser
efforts
from
from
themselves.
A
M
I
was
going
to
take
a
few
minutes
at
the
end
of
my
time
to
say
that
I
am
working
with
Shakespeare
on
fundraising
and
I.
Think
I've
already
secured
five
thousand
dollars
for
this
year.
So
I'm
not
sure
you
know
what
I
heard
earlier
was
it's
a
little
bit
like
what
happened
with
the
library
expansion,
where
the
library
Foundation
committed
to
raising
a
bunch
of
money,
and
they
did
raise
a
bunch
of
money,
but
the
cities
said
they
would
obviously
backfill,
because
the
building
was
being
built.
M
So
what
what
was
proposed
earlier
sounded
like
a
good
start.
If
you
want
to
go
further
than
that,
I'm
not
complaining,
but
but
I
do
feel.
As
I
said
earlier.
The
waivers
and
the
sheriff's
fees
are
very
important
for
the
festival.
So,
but
we
are
we're
already
working
on
Shakespeare
to
have
them
live
up
to
their
part
of
the
bargain.
Yeah.
A
D
So
through
the
mayor,
if
I
understand,
the
timing
with
the
contract
is
that
we
usually
start
the
contract
conversation
with
Shakespeare's
in
the
park
vendor
earlier
during
the
year.
So
we
have
provided
that
certainty
to
them
this
year,
given
that
it
will
take
place
during
summer,
so
that
conversation
took
place
in
March
in
April
earlier
this
year.
So
if
I
understand
you
correctly,
you
would
like
to
add
funding
back
for
2024.,
and
so
you
would
like
to
experience
in
the
park
to
start
organizing
fundraising
for
2025..
H
Yeah
I'll
support
Shakespeare
in
the
park,
I
think
that
has
been
like
a
Cupertino
tradition
to
have
that
in
the
summer
yeah.
But
then,
if
there
is
an
organization
that
can
commit
to
help
with
fundraising,
that
would
be
great
and
I
would
also
like
support
for
a
potential
five
thousand
dollar
for
mental
health
for
teens
I
think
there
has
been
a
recent
article,
but
many
articles
that
mental
health
for
teens
is
the
biggest
challenge
they
are
facing
right
now.
We
and
we
know
that
bubatino
will
be
stopped
because
it's
not
effective.
H
Many
people
agree
with
that,
but
we
do
need
an
effective
program
and
most
of
the
team
commissions
who
interview
do
agree,
that's
the
biggest
issue,
so
we
still
allocate
that
five
thousand
dollar
funding
and
refer
to
team
commission
to
figure
out
a
program
for
to
continue
our
mental
health
support
and
then
for
our
Festival
fees
and
I
feel
there
is
a
big
inequity.
There
is
a
lot
of
support,
but
then
some
festivals
get
maybe
10
times
more
than
the
other
festivals.
H
I
would
like
to
see
maybe
an
effort
to
cap
a
Max
for
each
organization,
so
that
way,
I'm
more
Equitable
and
I
definitely
enjoy
all
the
festivals.
We
don't
want
this
fees
to
be
a
barrier
to
bring
Festival
to
Cupertino.
However,
I
see
that
thank
you
for
the
staff
for
for
the
for
the
amazing
questions
to
our
answer.
The
amazing
answers
to
our
questions,
so
the
the
the
city
has
to
hire
12
part-time
staff
for
the
for
the
toyokawa
festival.
H
That's
a
lot,
but
then,
if
there
could
be
a
way
to
work
out,
so
that
more
volunteer
could
be
used
versus
part-time
staff.
If
the
festivals
maybe
can
work
with
the
city
to
somehow
reduce
the
cost,
because
the
sheriff's
cost
is
not
the
waiver,
it's
the
actual
cost
to
the
city.
Part-Time
staff
is
not
a
waiver.
It's
an
extra
cost
to
the
city
fee
waiver
I
can
support
that.
But
if
it's
an
actual
cost,
when
we
are
cutting
other
teams
and
other
other
programs,
then
we
are
cutting
programs
to
families.
H
Then
I
hope
that
Festival,
especially
the
fundraising
ones
they
are
bringing
in
Revenue.
So
is
there
a
way
for
them
to
work
with
the
city
to
reduce
the
cost?
That
I
would
still
want
to
see
so
I
think
I
would
propose
to
we
reduce
the
cost
for
now
and
then
they
can
come
back.
If
there
is
really
difficulty
and
the
city
can
work
with
them,
we
can
always
adjust
the
budget
later.
H
Another
thing
I
have
to
bring
it
up
in.
It
will
be
unethical
for
me
to
not
bring
up
Historical
Society.
Ever
since
I
got
on
the
council,
I've
been
supportive
of
Cupertino
Historical
Society.
They
were
getting
Grant
of
15
000
to
20
000
from
the
city
based
on
community
grant
program
which
they
may
or
may
not
get.
But
then
we
have
put
them
in
a
line
item
since
2019
and
the
grant
has
doubled
last
year
to
40
000.
H
when
we
did
not
have
this
budget
crisis,
and
now
we
do
I
have
to
ask,
should
we
maybe
reduce
that
to
20
000
the
historical
amount
rather
than
doubling,
especially
they
don't
have
a
participate
staffed
right?
Now
that's
a
question
for
my
fellow
council
member
to
consider
and
I'd
like
to
everyone
to
look
at
the
staff
report,
because
the
staff
report
has
a
chart
for
the
number
of
recruitments
and
hires
for
every
year
that
charge
shows
there
is
no
staff
turnover
issue
at
all.
H
The
only
issue
might
be
top
level,
but
then
we
know
that
from
the
top
report
exactly
one
person
got
a
lower
position.
So
the
staff
report
from
last
time
also
shows
the
Staffing
number
has
been
increasing,
not
reducing
and
thanks
staff
for
the
confirmation
that
there
are
actually
32
vacancies.
So
my
recollection
from
hearing
from
staff
I
mentioned,
the
search
for
vacancies
were
pretty
accurate
and
thank
you
for
the
table
on
the
exact
to
you
who
are
they.
That
gives
me
a
more
confirmation
of
thank
you.
F
G
Less
expenditures,
I
think
I
may
understand
I'm
going
to
try
to
explain
it,
and
hopefully
this
helps
and
doesn't
hurt.
So
when
we
talk
about
reducing
expenses
by
about
300
000
effectively,
what
that
does
is
that
saves
us
from
having
to
use
300
000
in
fund
balance
that
we,
otherwise
we
previously
presented
this
budget
had
planned
to
use
if
we
were
to
bring
in
additional
Revenue
in
the
general
fund
as
well.
That
would
then
further
reduce
the
need
to
use
an
assigned
fund
balance.
Does
that
does
that
help
or
hurt
no.
F
I
I
didn't
really
get
a
sense
of
how
much
was
given
away
with
regards
to
some
of
this
Senior
Center
programming
I
believe
there's
about
four
thousand
dollars
for
a
multi-year
bingo
room
use
at
the
senior
center.
But
there
are
some
other
programs,
like
the
the
senior
volunteer
appreciation
that
I've
been
asking
for
some
more
data
on,
and
that's
simply
for
transparency
sake,
so
that
we
all
have
a
better
idea.
I
I
And
so
you
that's
why
you've
got
the
43
000
for
one
for
the
two-day
Festival
versus
the
the
bhubaneshwar
at
only
sixteen
thousand
four
hundred,
and
then
it
on
top
of
that
there's
18,
free
room
uses
and
perhaps
a
few
extra
funds,
so
it
could.
It
could
go
to
140
000
there.
So
there
is
a
little
bit
of
an
imbalance
between
the
sister
cities,
funding
versus
all
of
the
others.
I
So
if
we're
gonna
put
them
all
in
order,
sister
cities,
total
we'll
say
140
000
chamber
number
two
at
seventy:
two
thousand
five
hundred
CHS
at
forty
thousand
Cupertino
historical
society
and
the
community
funding
grants
at
thirty.
Two
thousand
five
hundred.
Does
that
sound
like
I've
got
it
straight?
I
Does
that
sound
about
right
and
then
there's
some
there's
some
others
that
you
know
some
other
like
the
day
and
night
fun
festival
at
seventeen
thousand
five
hundred
Veterans
Day
3500,
the
egg
hunt
at
1600
and
Dilly
hot
by
the
way
who
does
run
Dilly
hot
I,
I'm
I'm
not
familiar
with
that?
That's,
not
a
sister
city!
That's
just
an
organization
that
keeps
applying
to
have
a
festival.
I
Okay,
thank
you.
Just
with
regards
to
the
festivals,
I
hope
that
we
reinstate
the
a
subcommittee
to
go
on
the
to
work
on
the
festival
fee
waivers.
We
were
set
up
to
do
that
last
year
and
I
think
it
would
help
to
have
a
process
moving
forward
to
rank
the
requests
and
yeah
I.
Think
that
would
be
a
good
idea.
H
D
D
E
A
F
H
A
G
That
so
this
budget
is
the
proposed.
Oh
sorry,
is
the
proposed
budget.
Until
hopefully
you
adopt
it
this
evening
in
some
form,
then
it
becomes
the
final
budget.
However,
that's
probably
not
the
best
name
for
it,
because
it's
the
literally
the
the
legal
budget
and
then
what
happens
is
through
Council
staff
reports
or
through
the
quarterly
Financial
reports.
We
will
come
and
make
amendments,
and
so
we're
always
amending
the
budget
we're
presenting
what
is
the
amended
budget
as
a
specific
date
when
we
come
back
to
council.
A
Depending
on
on
so
it
is
a
proposed
final
budget
with
a
fluid
implementation
along
the
way.
So
my
question
for
Rochelle
is:
you
are
the
liaison
for
our
team
Commissioners.
If
they
do
come
up
with
something
different,
that's
going
to
cost
a
couple
thousand
dollars.
You
will
let
you
can
let
the
council,
knowing
so
my
intention.
My
preference
is
not
to
allocate
any
amount
that
we
do
don't
even
know.
What's
that
going
to
be
for,
but
in
the
future,
when
there
is
a
need,
the
council
can
always
adjust
the
budget
and
do
that.
C
That's
correct
and
I
will
mention
that
we
were
directed
through
the
city
work
program
a
couple
years
ago
to
work
on
Mental
Health
items.
So
there
are
other
events
that
we
do
work
on
and
we
work
with
both
the
Youth
Activity
Board
and
the
team
commission
to
come
up
with
the
most
interesting
and
most
needed
items
and
events
for
the
teens.
A
And
so,
if
you
do
need
extra
budget,
you
could
come
back
and
ask
the
council
correct
so
I.
So
what
I'm
trying
to
say
is
the
specific
proposal
that
I
would
really
love.
Is
the
fun
Shakespeare
in
the
park
to
make
sure
it
goes
here,
goes
on
and
fund
the
festival
not
to
cut
them
the
36
492.
So
that
would
be
my
proposal
for
my
Council.
So
any
additional
money
I
think
it's
fluid.
We
can
always
adjust,
as
Christina
said
when
they
cut
the
need
times,
we
can
really
consider
it.
A
A
Edits,
one
is
add
back
the
thirty
thousand
dollar
for
shakes
in
the
park
to
keep
that
money
in
and
like
I
said,
if
they
fundraiser,
we
have
money
left,
that's
fine,
just
add
back
the
thirty
thousand
dollars
and
also
add
back
the
36
492
for
all
the
festivals
and
the
rest
is
ask
as
recommended.
That
will
be
my
notion,
I'm
looking
for
a
second
and
then
discussion.
F
D
A
I
I
did
pull
up
an
article
from
the
mercury
news
and
it
was
from
January
12
2021,
and
it
was
a
little
concerning
because
it
said-
and
this
was
regarding
some
of
the
the
permits.
But
it's
a
testimony
by
Apple
Finance
managers
indicated
that
they
did
not
know
that
such
a
program
existed
and
they're
referring
to
something
else
and
it
presumed.
It
was
associated
with
the
allocation
of
two
dedicated
deputies
around
Apple
Park,
a
proposal
that
was
discussed
around
the
same
time.
Moyer
and
Mueller
pushed
for.
A
H
I
It's
it's
yep,
because
in
in
here
it's
called
miscellaneous.
They
don't
call
it
out
for
what
it
miscellaneous
means,
but
it's
in
reference
to
the
first
donation,
which
happened,
September,
18th
2018,
and
that
was
and
I'll
finish
this.
This
quote
from
the
paper
that
they
pushed
for
CCW
permits
and
was
later
funded
by
a
558,
969
dollar
donation
to
Cupertino.
Those
same
managers
also
scrutinized
this
Deputy
arrangement
in
part
because
it
was
paid
through
a
city
donation
Avenue,
but
by
their
own
accounting.
Classifications
was
a
business
expense.
I
I
It
started
off
at
500
000
and
over
500
000
an
hour
over
over
a
million
dollars,
and
we
are
supposed
to
have
been
having
these
discussions
about
whether
or
not
we
still
think
it's
a
it's
appropriate
for
to
have
these
sheriff's
deputies
assigned
this
way
and
because
I
can't
find
a
contract.
What
that
means
is
that
somehow
these
sheriffs
are
being
assigned
verbally.
I
D
I
think
the
if
I
may
I
believe
the
council
member
Moore
is
proposing
should
be
better
addressed
in
the
sheriff's
contract,
which
will
come
to
council's
consideration
next
year.
So
this
exercise
is
not
documented
in
the
current
contract,
with
the
sheriff
right
now.
The
budget
is
not
the
best
place
to
reflect.
A
Q
A
Would
you
accept
a
friendly
Amendment,
I
I,
wouldn't
either
I
think
it
complicates
the
process
and
I
agree
with
the
manager?
It
needs
to
be
discussed
in
our
Sheriff's
Department.
It
doesn't
change
the
budget
anyway.
So
it's
just
a
description.
I
think
we
can
talk
about
it
during
our
service
contract.
D
A
E
E
G
E
H
I
know
I
might
not
have
the
majority
support,
but
then
I
would
like
to
try
on.
It
clears
my
conscience
that
I
tried
so
first
I.
First
I
do
support
the
thirty
thousand
dollar
to
support
the
commitment
for
2024
Shakespeare's
in
the
park,
provided
that
there
is
a
commitment
for
fundraising
for
next
year,
so
the
total
funding
level
would
be
lower
and
then
I
would
still
like
the
the
commitment
in
the
budget
for
a
team
mental
health
program,
especially
we
have
also
re
removed
the
teen
center.
H
We
can
always
adjust
the
budget
that
should
not
that's,
not
an
excuse
to
not
budget.
The
item
to
be
referred
to
the
team
commission
to
con
come
up
with
a
replacement
of
popatino.
It
shows
the
council's
commitment
to
supporting
health
and
then
third
continue
facility,
fee
waiver
for
all
festivals,
but
separate
the
cost
for
the
city,
such
as
sheriff
and
part-time
Staffing,
because
these
are
real
costs
to
the
city
and
I.
H
H
And
not
including
facility
fee
waivers
per
organization,
and
then
therefore
that
means
this
is
a
sub
item
under
that
one.
That
means
keep
the
reduction
of
for
now,
since
I
don't
know.
What's
the
total
cost
for
now
today
keep
the
reduction
of
the
40
to
40
something
for
Sheriff
fees
and
keep
the
reduction
on
item
I,
which
was
for
mostly
Staffing
and
other
and
fee
waivers
hold
on
to
it.
Let's
make
adjustment
in
Q
and,
if
necessary,.
H
So
we
allocate
provide
the
the
other
fee
cost
sharing
is.
The
other
is
more
like
cost
sharing.
Let's
do
the
cost,
sharing
figure
out
the
more
Equitable
formula
in
the
future,
and
then
this
is
again
I
have
to
propose
that,
because
I
feel
am
responsible
for
doubling
the
amount
the
city
pays
for
one
organization
when
we
are
helping
the
amount
for
all
the
other
organizations
in
community
Grant
and
I
have
been
very
supportive
of
this
Cupertino
Society.
H
I
I'll
second,
it
but
I
I.
If
you
would,
please
put
it
back
on
the
screen
council
member
Chow.
Thank
you
I'll.
Second,
it
but
I
do
take
issue
with
a
number
of
the
suggestions
and
I
think
you
know
if
I
were,
if
I
were
to
go
for
something
kind
of
like
a
bigger
line.
Item
I
would
say
to
return
the
maintenance,
irrigation
and
Landscaping
of
the
nine
cusd
schools
back
to
cusd,
because
the
field
use
fees
aren't
covering
the
cost
of
the
field
users.
I
H
J
A
I
All
have
we're
waiting
for
them.
Please.
So
then
I
would
amend
the
reduction
and
change
that
so
that
the
that
we're
going
to
keep
the
the
Forty
thousand
dollars
for
the
Historical
Society
instead
of
reducing
the
instead
of
reducing
the
sheriff
fees.
We
would
because
we
just
we
just
agreed
to
providing
fifty
two
thousand
dollars
per
year
from
the
chamber
for
the
chamber,
that
we
removed
the
19
000
in
total
costs
for
for
their
Festival
fee
fundraisers.
I
So
we
they
get
to
they'll,
retain
the
52
000,
but
we'll
remove
the
the
nineteen
thousand
for
their
Festival
fees
and
then
for
the
for
the
remainder
of
the
festivals.
They
would
continue
to
have
the
recreation
facility
Park
Road
permits,
Public
Works
Sheriff
materials
costs
covered,
so
we
would
just
eliminate
those
that
one
so
I
would
not
I
wouldn't
reduce
the
sheriff's
at
the
festivals.
I
A
I
Think
I
don't
know
if
you'll
accept
the
friendly
amendment
to
keep
the
sheriff's
fees
for
all,
but
remove
remove
the
festival
fee
waivers
on
the
the
two
chamber
events
because
we've
we
are
providing
fifty
two
thousand
dollars
for
the
chamber
now
in
with
a
multi-year
contract
and
they'll,
be
receiving
a
lot
of
mutual
benefits
from
that.
So.
H
I
H
I
A
H
A
A
A
A
I
I
A
A
That
are
to
simplify
as
a
child
I
need
to
intervene.
This
cannot
be
a
two
Council
negotiation
right
now.
I
would
like
to
have
friendly
Amendment,
accept
it
or
not.
Don't
accept
it.
Do
another
amendment
or
subject
emotion.
Let's
keep
it
not
a
discussion,
because
none
of
the
three
of
us
are
not
in
the
discussion
so.
H
A
J
J
I
A
I
Because
the
the
chamber
ended
up
through
through
all
of
this
ended
up
being
the
highest.
My
proposal
is
that
we
would
remove
the
festival,
few
waivers
from
the
from
the
chamber
to
balance
out
our
our
grants
essentially,
and
so
the
chamber
would
stay
with
the
52
000
and
the
the
essentially
a
five-year
contract.
M
I
Removed
it
removed
the
Chamber
from
the
festival
fee
waivers
and
then
my
original
concept
is
that
we
would
still
for
everyone
else,
provide
the
total
amount,
including
the
sheriffs
for
their
Festival
fee
waivers.
Remove
the
fee,
remove
the
fee
waivers
for
the
and
yes
remove
the
the
entire
Festival
fee.
Waivers
for
the
chamber.
Events
based
on
the
as
I've
said,
based
on
the
fact
that
we
already
have
a
contract
with.
J
H
H
A
I
I
would
like
to
put
my
very
short
opinion
in
this
I
think
we
are
making
things
very
complicated
in
in
a
very
I
know:
well,
budget
tested,
but
we're
talking
about
not
a
lot
of
money
and
as
for
Equitable,
it
really
depends
on
how
much
how
much
effort
each
organization
puts
in,
for
example,
cherry
blossom
is
a
two-day
event.
That's
why
they
they're
much
more
expensive
than
the
others
one
day
event
and
I.
Don't
call
that
inequitable.
A
I
thought
that
serving
our
residents
in
a
multiple
way
and
Chambers
contract
is
separate
from
this
festival.
Thing
I
do
not
like
to
come
and
go
things.
That's
different
have
different
meaning
out
of
it.
The
chamber
contract
doesn't
include
hosting
the
two
festivals
for
free,
or
you
know,
they're
in
charge
of
it.
So
I
I
view
Equitable
as
providing
services
in
different
ways,
not
which
how
much
money
each
organization
receives
so
I
would
not
be
voting
for
The
substitute
motion
with
the
funding
Amendment
I'm
opener
for
other
Council
input
else.
E
I
A
Devotion
and
friendly
Amendment,
because
you're
making
another
friendly
Amendment
or
no
I'm,
making
some
statements
Okay.
So
as
a
chair
I
really
want
to
render
our
time
as
council
member
from
said,
our
time
is
very
precious,
our
staff
staff
and
our
residence
time,
and
we
have
other
Council
other
items
to
go
forward.
So
I
would
like
to
as
we
strain
our
comments,
that's
not
on
the
things
we're
going
to
talk
about
so
right
now,
I
like
to
have
a
vote
on
The
Substitute
motion
with
a
friendly
Amendment,
let's
vote
by
light.
Please.
J
A
At
this
moment
we
have
exceeded
our
Council
agenda
for
the
10
30,
our
procedures
manual
for
the
10
30
time
do
we
we
have
three
items,
we
need
to
talk
about
and
then
concept
number
two
counselor
number
five
and
constant
number,
ten,
correct
and
I
do
think
concert
number
10
has
a
little
sensitive
time
sensitive
matter
to
it.
So
I
like
to
ask
my
fellow
council
members:
can
we
extend
it
for
another
30.
R
A
E
A
A
R
A
A
D
R
A
E
A
A
M
L
A
A
A
A
A
M
A
Are
so
we
are
we
zoomed?
The
meeting
for
item
number
five
consider
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
execute
a
third
amendment
to
Professional
Services
agreement
with
aquatic
Solutions
LLC
for
software
updates
and
Technical
Support
Services
increasing
the
current
contract
amount
by
184
and
800
over
the
next
three
years
for
total
control
amount
of
354
and
800.,
and
do
we
have
a
staff
report
through.
D
The
mayor,
we
do
not
have
a
staff
report,
we
did
receive
a
number
of
questions
from
council
member
Moore
this
afternoon,
which
we
have
not
had
a
chance
to
provide
a
response
to
council,
but
I
do
have
Bill,
Mitchell
and
Terry
garhardt
to
provide
you
an
overview
of
those
questions,
answered
bill
or
Terry
goat.
Take
it
away.
Q
I
So
I
couldn't
find
a
contract
for
that
time.
Frame
leading
up
to
November.
So
I
was
wondering
why
I
couldn't
find
that
and
then
just
for
understanding.
We
had
the
purchase
order
happen
on
the
same
day
as
the
contract.
Amendment
and
I
was
wondering
how
those
two
interplay
and
then
I
had
a
general
question,
more
probably
for
finance.
I
Regarding
the
purchasing
policy
requirements,
because
this
is
a
multi-year
contract-
I
believe
it
is
the
175
000
I've,
seen
sometimes
sometimes
I
see
two
hundred
thousand
I
think
we
have
some
a
little
I
have
some
confusion
over
if
it's
175
000
that
triggers
it
to
come
to
council
for
approval
or
200,
but
my
concern
there
was
because
this
contract
starts
this.
This
work
on
the
gis
system
seemed
to
have
started
in
2009.
Q
So
let
me
try
to
address
those
questions,
so
quartet
provides
technical
support
for
our
entire
GIS
architecture,
including
City
Works,
which
is
our
asset
management
application.
Initially,
work
was
performed
simply
performed
under
a
purchase
order.
Agreement
consistent
with
our
prior
legal
advice
in
November
of
2021,
the
city
and
cortex
signed
the
first
Professional
Services
agreement
contract
based
on
advice
from
the
city's
attorney's
office,
so
as
far
as
the
purchase
order.
Q
So
it
is
common
for
common
practice
for
I
for
the
I.T
Department
to
generate
a
purchase
order
on
the
same
day
as
an
agreement
is
signed
and
then
regarding
the
multi-year
contract.
So
in
2021,
based
on
new
advice
from
the
city
attorney's
office,
there
was
a
revision
in
it's
understanding
of
purchasing
policy
requirements.
Q
I
R
I
R
I,
just
thank
you.
Terry
I,
just
I
want
to
just
clarify
that
you
know
the
purchasing
policy
is
both
silent
as
to
how
to
to
to
treat
these
recurring
multi-year
contracts
and
also,
as
to
you
know,
win
purchases
just
with
a
purchasing
order
and
no
Professional
Services
of
agreement
of
this
sort
are
are
proper.
So
that
was
a
legal
interpretation
by
the
city
attorney's
office
that
changed
and
that
that
explains
why
the
I.T
Department's
procurement
procedure
changed.
N
H
That
yeah
and
tracking
aggregated
spending
is
a
really
thank
you
for
doing
that
and
thank
the
IT
department
for
to
making
all
your
effort
to
comply,
but
I'm
afraid
I,
won't
remember
the
answer.
The
answer
was
really
good.
So
is
it
possible
that
you
are?
We
get
a
written
explanation
and
if
you
can
point
me
to
the
policies,
that
would
be
great.
Thank
you.

So
so
again,
this
isn't
not
explicit
in
the
purchasing
policy.
It's
not
addressed,
but
the
the
interpretation
the
city
attorney's
office
has
provided
that
once
the
the
agreement
crossed
the
threshold
of
175
000,
it
was
mandated
to
return
to
council.
There
are
other
circumstances
where
an
agreement
could,
but
that
was
a
clear
line
that
it
had
to
and
so
that
that
I
believe
was
the
threshold
that
was
crossed
here.
R
I
Thank
you.
I
want
to
mention
that
when
I
was
looking
up,
I
was
just
focused
on
GIS,
but
there
are
other
services
that
they
provide,
which
might
need
to
have
a
contract
that's
associated
with
them
that
I
couldn't
I
could
not
locate.
So
if
someone
would
look
into
that,
that
would
be
appreciated
to
see
if
their
those
other
services
are
still
continuing
on
that
don't
fall
under
the
gis
contract
you're
forming.
Thank
you.
