Description
Coverage of the Wednesday, May 17, 2023 Cupertino City Council Budget Study Session.
A
A
Way
here,
thank
you.
We
are
going
to
the
study
session.
The
subject
is
initial
study
session
on
the
fiscal
year.
2023-2024
proposed
operating
and
capital
Improvement
program
budget
and
the
recommended
action
is
to
conduct
initial
study
session
of
fiscal
year.
2023
2024
proposed
operating
and
capital
Improvement
program
purchase
and
provide
direction
to
staff.
So
do
we
have
staff
reports?
Yes,.
C
I
want
to
take
a
moment
to
give
a
big
shout
out
to
the
budget
team
and
also
the
directors
and
those
of
you
who
have
been
putting
countless
hours
in
the
past
month
or
so
for
us
to
get
to
where
we
are
today.
Without
your
hard
work
and
dedication,
I
would
not
have
a
city
manager's
proposed
budget,
so
thank
you.
C
So
the
budget
season
is
always
demanding
with
fast
approaching
deadlines,
and
this
year
is
no
exception
this
year,
not
only
that
we
had
a
fast
approaching
deadline.
We
also
had
news
that
we
learned
not
too
long
ago
from
the
California
Department
of
tax
and
fees,
Administration
cdtf8,
that
cost
us
to
switch
gears
from
a
budget
that
will
be
growing
and
expanding
to
reducing
and
with
all
the
challenges
and
needed
that
needs
to
be
done.
C
We
were
able
to
do
that
in
less
than
a
month,
so
the
process
normally
takes
months,
if
not
years,
to
complete
again
I
want
to
give
another
shout
out
to
the
budget
team
and
also
staff
for
us
to
be
able
to
take
what
we
have
learned
into
Council
for
consideration
today,
next
slide
so
before
us
tonight.
For
the
council,
the
study
session
has
three
objectives.
C
One
is
to
walk
you
through
what
we
have
put
together
in
a
city
manager's
proposed
budget
I
want
to
emphasize
that
the
budget
before
you
is
a
planning
tool
and
the
department,
directors
and
I
work
very
closely
and
bring
the
budget
up
to
the
transactional
detail.
However,
tonight
we
will
be
going
over
at
a
very
high
level
in
terms
of
how
the
budget
and
the
impacts
will
have
to
the
community.
We
will
focus
on
the
big
picture
impacts
and
trying
to
avoid
any
of
the
Minor
Details.
As
we
mentioned
it
to
you.
C
Last
night,
council
will
have
an
opportunity
to
review
the
quarterly
update
in
November
and
subsequently
in
2024
and
in
a
quarterly
review
after
the
presentation.
We're
also
here
to
receive
comments
and
questions
from
the
council
and
the
members
of
the
public,
and
hopefully
that
we
can
take
those
directions
and
feedback
from
Council
and
to
come
back
on
the
subsequent
meeting
on
June
6,
so
therefore
Council
to
adopt
our
budget,
so
this
can
go
into
effect
by
next
fiscal
year
in
July
next
slide.
C
So
what
are
some
of
the
things
that
we
were
looking
at
when
we're
putting
this
budget
together?
Typically,
what
we
will
always
wanted
to
emphasize
is
that
how
do
we
put
our
budget
and
build
on
a
solid
foundation?
We
have
been
very
lucky
to
have
a
very
strong
fiscal
Foundation
to
get
us
to
where
we
are,
even
with
the
challenges
that
are
ahead
of
us.
We
have
been
fortunate
to
have
some
Assurance
to
be
able
to
carry
us
to
the
next
decade,
or
so,
with
that
said,
we
can't
forget
covet.
C
So
what
does
the
new
normal
look
like?
What
does
that
mean
in
terms
of
our
physical
impact?
In
addition
to
how
do
we
balance
our
multiple
priority?
That
is
before
the
council
for
the
community
and
also
for
the
department
and
also
myself,
to
look
at
our
operational
needs
and
to
that
we
are
here
to
redefine
what
is
essential
we
have
been
doing
above
and
beyond
for
a
lot
of
operational
services.
This
is
a
critical
time
for
the
city
staff
and
also
myself,
to
bring
the
city
team
back
and
to
present
to
city
council.
C
So
one
minute
must
wonder
how
do
we
get
to
where
we
are
today?
This
is
not
an
easy
task,
so
the
budget
team
actually
started
this
process
back
in
December
before
the
holiday,
a
director,
Alfaro
and
and
manager
Leon
has
been
sending
out
emails
to
staff
to
start
preparing
for
a
budget
month
go
by.
We
start
putting
the
proposal
together.
Dot
comes
around
January
March,
just
when
we
think
that
we
have
a
framework
put
together,
guess
what
we
learned
from
the
cdtfa
news
that
we're
going
to
be
taking
a
different
turn
in
March.
C
Do
want
to
kind
of
put
the
no
and
emphasize
the
note
that
we
have
put
on
the
chart
which
took
us
in
a
very
different
direction
when
we're
putting
our
budget
together
fast
forward.
A
month
later,
we
were
able
to
quickly
check
in
with
all
department,
heads
and
also
Department
staff
to
come
back
and
learning
from
what
we
learned
from
cdtfa
to
put
the
proposed
budget
together.
C
Here
we
are
a
second
special
meeting
second
week
of
May
we
we're
presenting
the
proposed
budget
to
you
also
want
to
emphasize-
and
thank
council
members
for
taking
time
from
your
busy
schedules
to
meet
with
the
staff
to
understand
detail
of
each
of
the
budget.
We
understand
that,
hopefully
this
will
be
able
to
alleviate
some
of
the
concerns
and
questions,
and
we
do
really
appreciate
council
members
taking
extra
time
to
meet
with
us
next
slide.
C
So
with
all
that
said
and
done,
how
does
the
member
of
the
public
access
our
budget?
There
are
three
ways
that
we
have
put
this
proposed
budget
and
also
the
past
budget
arm
website.
So
the
members
are
public
or
anyone
can
access
our
budget
on
our
City
website
on
cupertino.org
budget.
We
also
have
a
very
productive
and
also
interactive
Financial
transparency
portal
that
the
city
staff
has
put
together
in
the
past
years.
This
not
only
includes
the
current
proposed
budget
and
also
but
also
the
budgets
from
past
years.
C
C
So
the
survey-
sorry,
the
preview
there
you
go
so
the
survey
started
towards
the
end
of
April
before
the
budget
was
printed
and
made
it
available
on
the
5th
in
May
and
it's
continuing
through
the
end
of
May
to
continue
to
collect
feedback
from
the
public.
So
far
as
of
half
an
hour
ago,
oh
well,
I'm.
Sorry,
a
day
ago
from
yesterday
we
have
received
727
responses,
and
so-
and
this
is
an
overwhelming-
receive
of
the
feedbacks
from
the
community
next
slide.
So
what
did
we
ask
the
community
we
would
give?
C
We
also
ask
the
community:
what
do
you
not
want
to
cut
and
overwhelmingly
Public
Safety
the
environment
where
we
feel
secure
at
home
law
enforcement
is
one
thing
that
the
community
feels
strong
to
keep
a
strong
support
and
also
our
Street
Maintenance.
The
community
felt
that
the
second
priority
to
have
continuous
funding
to
provide
for
that
services
will
be
on
our
street.
Looking
at
the
chart
again,
we
see
the
same
responses
of
perhaps
not
as
much
funding
provided
for
recreational
class
and
also
city-wide
events.
C
So
we've
gone
through
the
exercise
of
what
would
the
community
want
to
see
cut,
or
do
you
want
to
see
the
programs
to
be
kept?
We
also
asked
the
community.
What
do
you
think
are
the
good
ideas
to
help
the
city
to
get
back
to
where
we
are?
How
do
we
get
more
Revenue
to
our
general
fund
so
of
the
three
proposals?
And
yes,
we
understand
that
there
might
be
more
but
of
the
three
proposals
one
is
to
potentially
increase.
Our
taxes.
C
Second,
is
to
increase
the
overall
fees,
and
the
third
is
to
sell
off
some
of
the
city-owned
properties.
This
chart
shows
you.
The
community
priority
aligns
again
with
the
staff
proposal,
is
to
increase
the
city-wide
fees
and
again,
which
fee
will
be
increased,
which
fees
will
remain
at
a
certain
level.
As
we
mentioned
to
to
council,
we
will
be
coming
back
to
council
for
two
fees
increase
later
on
this
year.
C
In
this,
summertime
will
be
coming
back
to
realign
our
fee
per
these
CPI
for
a
small
adjustment,
and
then
we
will
be
launching
to
do
a
reassessment
of
a
current
city
fee
and
let
the
consultant
provide
recommendation
to
council
to
consider
raising
fees
for
some
of
the
essential
area
to
continuous
to
continue
our
operation
so
with
that
before
I
dive
into
the
numbers
I'm
going
to
turn
the
floors
to
the
budgeting
director
of
Faro
and
manager
Lounge
to
walk
you
through
the
more
detailed
portion
of
the
proposed
budget.
Thank
you
thank.
D
You
city
manager,
Wu
good
evening,
mayor
and
city
council,
Christine,
Alfaro,
director
of
administrative
services
and
I'll,
be
taking
you
through
the
agenda
for
this
evening,
but
before
I
do
I
want
to
Echo
the
city
manager's
comments
on
commending
our
staff
for
their
efforts.
It
has
been
many
a
late
night
and
weekends
to
get
us
to
this
point
and
I
want
to
thank
the
entire
city
team
for
their
commitment
and
effort.
D
D
I
wanted
to
start
by
saying
that
I've
been
presenting
the
budget
for
most
of
my
10-year
career
here
with
the
city
of
Cupertino,
and
one
constant
I
can
share
with
you
is
that
during
those
years
is
that
probably
and
more
than
likely
every
budget
I
have
been
I
have
presented
to?
You
has
been
wrong
and
I
say
that,
because
we've
generally
understent
expenditures
and
underestimated
revenues,
all
of
which
have
led
to
higher
fund
balance
or
savings.
At
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year,
I
said
I've
said
to
you
often
of
the
final
budget.
D
That
book
is
outdated
many
times
before
it
is
even
printed.
It
is
really
a
point
in
time
document
and,
although
being
wrong,
might
sound
terrible
and
not
great.
For
a
director
to
admit
publicly
a
budget
is
really
a
planning
tool
and
being
wrong
is
really
right.
We
do
our
best
with
the
information
at
a
point
in
time
and
come
to
come
up
with
estimates,
and
then,
when
we
know
more,
we
make
adjustments.
D
Std
manager
Wu
mentioned
that
we'll
come
back
to
you
with
those
adjustments
as
part
of
the
quarterly
reports
or
another
staff
report
and
then
also
as
she
mentioned.
We
start
this
process
in
December.
So,
as
you
can
imagine,
many
of
the
assumptions
we
made
six
months
before
this
gets
adopted
have
to
be
Revisited
as
we
jump
into
fiscal
year.
D
First,
as
I
mentioned,
we'll
be
focusing
on
all
the
all
the
funds
in
the
city's
budget,
and
so
this
is
the
financial
overview
by
fund
a
covering
all
of
the
funds
that
the
city
has.
The
recommended
proposed
budget
totals
117.8
million
dollars
across
all
funds
and
is
funded
by
107.9
million
in
Revenue,
resulting
in
a
decrease
to
fund
balance
across
all
funds
of
9.9
million.
This
also
excludes
the
capital
Improvement
program
that
will
be
added
as
part
of
the
final
budget
and
presented
to
council
later
this
evening.
D
The
largest
fund
is
the
general
fund
recommended
at
86.3
million
and
funded
by
80.3
million
in
revenues
resulting
in
a
decrease
to
fund
balance
of
6
million
dollars.
Use
of
fund
balance
in
the
Enterprise
funds
and
internal
service
funds
is
due
to
those
funds
having
sufficient
fund
balance
and
not
requiring
an
additional
subsidy
from
the
general
fund
this
year.
In
addition,
the
internal
service
funds
also
reflect
the
use
of
the
115
other
post-employment
benefits
or
opeb
trust
to
pay
for
retiree
Health
costs.
D
In
addition,
as
part
of
last
night's
third
quarter
report
to
council,
the
council
approved
covering
the
current
fiscal
year.
Fiscal
year,
2223
retiree
Health
costs
with
the
trust
as
well.
This
will
lead
to
further
Savings
in
the
general
fund
for
this
year.
Increases
in
special
Revenue
funds
are
mostly
related
to
BMR
housing
funds.
In
addition,
I
know
this
question
came
up
last
night,
but
all
fun
type,
descriptions
and
definitions
are
included
in
the
proposed
budget
book
pages
88
to
91
under
the
fund
structure.
Heading.
D
Prior
to
the
news
of
the
expected
outcome
of
the
cdtfa
audit.
It
includes
last
year's
base
budget
plus
any
ongoing
adjustments
approved
by
city
council,
along
with
CPI
increases
to
materials
and
contracts.
Along
with
the
addition
of
several
new
positions
and
various
other
budget
requests,
we
will
be
sure
to
point
out
when
we
are
comparing
to
which
budget
just
for
clarity
purposes
and
try
to
walk
you
through.
If
there's
any
changes
from
a
prior
presentation
we
may
have
given
as
well.
D
So,
focusing
first
on
general
fund
Revenue,
you
can
see
here
we're
comparing
fiscal
year.
23
adopted
general
fund
revenues
to
fiscal
year,
24
proposed
budget
revenues.
Overall,
revenues
are
down
14.4
million
or
15
percent,
and
this
is
lower
than
what
we
presented
on
April
13th
and
that's
because
we
use
the
original
budget
to
develop
those
reduced
numbers
and
we'll
return
to
those
numbers
in
this
later
in
this
presentation,
just
to
give
you
that
look
back
in
case,
you
forgot
what
those
original
numbers
look
like.
D
D
This
next
table
shows
you
in
a
bit
more
detail
the
other
categories
that
were
lumped
together
in
the
previous
chart
and
again
it
Compares
them
to
fiscal
year
23
adopted
budget.
Here
again,
we
can
see
sales
tax
decrease
along
with
some
other
categories,
including
other
taxes,
and
this
is
due
to
the
way
we
forecast
this,
which
is
based
on
a
three-year
historical
trend
for
Property
Transfers.
Also,
intergovernmental
revenue
is
down
due
to
a
decrease
in
Grant
Revenue.
D
Overall,
though,
revenue
is
down
15
from
last
year's
adopted
budget
again,
this
is
lower
than
was
presented
on
the
13th,
but
we'll
go
over
how
those
numbers
are
different
in
just
a
moment,
general
fund
expenditures,
expenditures
again
we're
comparing
them
to
Prior
year
fiscal
year,
23
adopted
budget.
Overall,
we
see
the
total
expenditures
are
down
8.9
million
or
9,
with
the
biggest
decrease
coming
from
transfers
out
and
materials.
We
will
discuss
this
in
other
categories
in
the
next
slide.
D
So
here
it
shows
you
in
a
little
bit
more
detail
some
of
the,
but
some
of
the
categories.
I
want
to
call
your
attention
to
include
that.
There's
an
increase
in
salary
and
benefits,
and
you
might
be
thinking
if
we're
reducing
positions
in
the
budget
How
can
there
be
a
decrease,
and
this
is
really
because
there
was
a
cost
of
five
percent
cost
of
living
adjustment
adjustment
approved
by
Council
after
budget
adoption,
though
that
would
not
have
been
included
in
the
original
numbers.
D
There's
also
has
been
increased
to
our
retirement
cost,
as
well
as
the
addition
of
one
position
as
part
of
the
mid-year
budget.
So
all
of
those
increases
were
offset
by
the
decrease
of
the
14
positions
in
the
current
fiscal
year
and
then
also
as
a
budget
manager.
Leong
will
walk
you
through
the
Assumption.
There
is
also
assumed
growth
in
payroll
per
our
Calpers
actuary
materials
and
contracts
are
down
due
to
budget
reductions.
These
are
offset
by
CPI
or
other
contract
terms.
D
D
The
proposed
budget
update
this
is
the
chart
where
we're
going
to
take
you
through
all
the
iterations
we've
shown
you
thus
far
that
First
Column
shows
you
what
the
original
budget
was.
The
next
column
shows
you
what
we
presented
to
you
on
April,
13th
and
the
final
column
shows
you,
the
proposed
budget
that
we
you
have
before
you
this
evening.

D
This
pie,
chart
pie
chart
shows
how
we
close
the
23.9
million
dollar
deficit.
As
you
can
see,
the
elimination
of
14
existing
positions,
coupled
with
removing
15
additional
positions
that
had
originally
been
requested,
saved,
6.2
million
dollars,
reductions
in
materials
made
up
an
additional
1.8
and
2
and
contracts
2.7
million.
D
Another
large
reduction
area
is
transfers
out
at
5.8
million
and
then
capital
outlays
and
special
projects
at
1.4
million
that
still
left
us
about
6
million
short,
which
we
are
recommending
to
use
an
assigned
fund
balance
to
cover,
as
budget
manager
Liang
will
discuss
in
the
next
in
the
next.
In
his
next
slides.
The
budget
is
currently
still
structurally
unbalanced,
with
estimated
ongoing
expenditures
exceeding
ongoing
revenues.
D
However,
staff
anticipates
adjusting
this
forecast,
as
more
information
is
known,
to
put
us
back
into
a
structurally
balanced
position
prior
to
the
end
of
the
10-year
forecast
period,
but
there
is
still
some
unknown
impacts
that
we
need
Clarity
on
before
adjusting
the
forecasts
which
we
will
discuss
later.
All
of
this
to
say,
the
use
of
fund
balance
Rises
time,
so
we
don't
cut
too
deep
if
we
don't
have
to
and
provides
a
soft
Landing
for
this
ongoing
transition.
With
that,
I
will
turn
the
presentation
over
to
budget
manager
Liam.
E
Good
evening,
honorable
mayor
and
city
council,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
provide
you
with
an
update
on
the
city's
proposed
budget.
I'll
be
providing
an
update
on
the
general
fund
forecast.
It's
important
to
note
that
this
forecast
is
not
set
in
stone
with
out
of
a
planning
tool
that
allows
us
to
anticipate
the
long-term
effects
of
budget
decisions.
We
constantly
update
the
forecasts
as
newest
new
information
is
known
or
as
assumptions
change.
E
We
last
provided
an
update
on
the
forecast
on
April
13th
by
providing
regular
updates
based
on
information
available.
We
provoke,
we
hope,
to
provide
our
city,
council
and
residents
and
staff
of
a
clear
understanding
of
the
potential
impact
on
the
city
and
the
measures
we
are
taking
to
address
the
situation.
E
E
Fortunately,
a
fiscal
structure
is
strong
with
facility
debt
expected
to
be
paid
off
by
fiscal
year,
2029
2030.
In
addition,
the
city
has
proactively
funded
pension
inventory,
Health
costs
using
section
115
trusts.
It's
also
important
to
mention
that
the
forecast
does
not
include
the
ongoing
impacts
of
new
development
projects
until
they
have
been
built
and
occupied.
However,
Revenue
estimates
for
potential
development
projects
have
been
included
as
a
desk
item.
E
Lastly,
the
forecasts
assume
a
session
every
four
years
for
all
revenues.
This
assumption
is
based
on
historical
business
Cycles,
which
typically
lasts
between
four
to
five
years
on
average.
Although
the
timing
of
his
sessions
is
uncertain,
these
assumptions
allow
the
city
to
forecast
revenues
conservatively
based
on
the
city's
prior
experience
with
the
sessions.
Revenues
are
projected
to
remain
flat
during
these
periods.
This
is
also
in
line
of
what
the
city's
investment
manager,
Chandler
asset
management
and
sales
tax
consultant
HDL
are
projecting
for
the
next
couple
years.
E
Given
the
substantial
uncertainty
inherent
in
forecasting,
we
aim
to
be
conservative
in
our
Revenue
projections.
Today,
I'll
focus
on
sales
property
and
transient
occupancy
tax
or
tot
as
they
have
the
most
uncertainty.
The
forecast
does
not
assume
the
impact
of
any
new
development
projects
on
sales
property
and
tot
sales
tax
is
projected
to
decrease
by
73
or
30
million
dollars
from
the
original
forecast
due
to
the
cdtfa
audit,
and
it
is
projected
to
increase
by
an
average
annual
growth
rate
of
1.6
in
the
forecast.
E
E
The
forecast
assumes
no
cost
of
living
adjustments
or
coales,
excluding
the
paywall
growth
forecasted
by
Calpers,
as
the
city
is
currently
in
the
process
of
Labor
negotiations
with
bargaining
groups,
materials
are
projected
to
increase
by
the
Consumer
Price
Index
or
CPI,
and
Contract
Services
are
also
projected
to
increase
by
CPI,
except
for
the
law
enforcement
contract,
which
is
projected
to
increase
by
CPI
plus
two
percent
per
the
terms
of
the
contract.
The
contract
expires
on
June
30th
2024,
so
we
have
included
a
placeholder
starting
in
fiscal
year.
2024-25.
E
In
light
of
this,
our
sales
tax
revenue
projections
are
based,
on
a
worst
case
scenario,
for
the
ongoing
impact
of
the
audit.
It's
important
to
emphasize
that
these
projections
are
based
on
the
information
that
we
have
today
the
Amelia
snapshot
in
time,
and
we
will
update
the
forecast
as
the
situation
evolves.
E
However,
despite
these
challenges,
cupertino's
healthy
reserves
put
us
in
a
better
position
to
weather
these
difficult
times
to
address
the
structural
deficit
caused
by
the
projected
drop
in
sales
tax
revenue
and
to
give
the
city
time
to
develop
and
Implement
a
sustainable
long-term
plan
we
are
developed.
We
have
developed
a
strategy
that
utilizes
general
fund
Reserves
by
using
reserves.
We
aim
to
provide
a
soft
landing
and
avoid
more
severe
measures
that
could
have
a
significant
impact
on
essential
services.
E
This
slide
illustrates
an
impact
on
a
fund
balance
over
the
next
10
years.
As
you
can
see,
we've
been
fortunate
in
the
past
to
have
a
comfortable
budget
that
has
allowed
us
to
be
responsive
to
the
needs
and
requests
of
our
staff
and
residents.
However,
the
depletion
of
an
unassigned
fund
balance
signals
a
need
for
us
to
be
more
strategic
in
our
service
delivery
and
to
carefully
consider
where
we
can
allocate
resources
and
where
we
cannot.
E
Historically,
the
city
has
made
significant
transfers
to
the
capital
of
Reserve
at
Midview
and
as
a
reminder,
fund
balance
is
built
up
at
the
end
of
a
fiscal
year
when
revenues
are
higher
than
expenditures
resulting
in
an
increase
in
a
fund
balance
over
Reserves
to
address
Revenue
shortfalls
over
the
next
10
years.
We
anticipate
using
an
unassigned
fund
balance
and
our
capital
projects
reserve
and
also
part
of
a
section
115
pension,
Trust
or
economic
uncertainty.
Reserve
at
24
million
is
expected
to
remain
intact,
which
will
help
us
weather
any
economic
downturns,
revenue
shortfalls
or
emergencies.
E
I
would
now
like
to
discuss
the
city's
Staffing
levels
and
the
steps
we
are
taking
to
balance
our
budget.
As
you
know,
one
of
the
most
significant
components
of
our
budget
is
Staffing.
Unfortunately,
we
are
facing
a
revenue
shortfall
that
requires
us
to
reduce
our
staffing.
We
have
developed
a
plan
to
gradually
reduce
our
staffing
through
the
elimination
of
vacant
positions
over
the
next
10
years.
Vacant
positions
are
rules
that
are
currently
unfilled,
due
to
a
resignation,
retirement
or
never
being
filled.
In
the
first
place.
E
We
anticipate
reducing
our
staffing
by
15
FTE
this
year
through
vacancies
and
then
eliminating
three
to
four
vacant
positions.
Each
year
until
we
reach
a
staffing
level
of
180
FTE,
as
you
see,
by
with
the
red
line,
which
is
equivalent
to
the
levels
in
fiscal
year
2015-16,
we
understand
that
reducing
Staffing
will
be
challenging
and
may
lead
to
the
elimination
of
some
services,
but
we
committed
to
balancing
a
budget
responsibly
and
continuing
to
provide
essential
services
to
the
community.
E
So
this
chart
shows
all
funds
except
the
general
fund.
Total
revenues
are
27.6
million
and
total
expenditures
of
31.5
million,
resulting
in
the
use
of
3.9
million
in
fund
balance
and
director
of
earlier
discuss.
You
know
the
reasons
for
the
decrease
in
fund
balance
for
Enterprise
and
internal
service
funds.
E
E
So
the
proposed
budget
starts
off
a
foundational
level
of
funding
which
is
outlined
in
the
base
budget.
Any
funding
that
exceeds
the
base
budget,
whether
it
is
for
one-time
or
ongoing
expenses,
requires
approval
and
review
by
the
city
manager.
These
budget
requests
are
budgeted
in
special
project
accounts
in
order
to
improve
transparency
as
well
as
to
allow
better
tracking
and
Trend
analysis.
E
As
you
can
see,
we
have
2.1
million
in
one
time
in
quests
and
3.2
million
in
ongoing
requests
for
a
total
of
5.3
million,
and
this
slide
displays
the
proposed
budget
requests
categorized
by
Department.
As
we
proceed
through
each
department
deployment
heads
will
go
into
greater
detail
now,
I'll
hand
it
over
to
assistant
city
manager
Morley
to
discuss
the
Council
on
commission's
budget.
G
F
The
council
and
commissions
to
bring
to
you
tonight
I,
wanted
to
start
by
talking
a
little
bit
about
the
balance
that
we
need
to
achieve
in
continuing
the
business
of
the
city
at
the
same
time,
in
the
light
of
making
cuts
and
reductions
and
how
important
it
is
to
to
consider
both
as
we're
making
our
our
proposals
and
our
cuts
so
that
the
city
needs
to
go
on.
That
means
we'll
continue
to
spend
money
and
we'll
continue
to
hire
staff
as
needed
to
continue
to
to
support
that
that
work
for
the
council
and
commissions.
F
F
We
would
also
see
and
you'll
see
this
sort
of
theme
throughout
all
of
the
presentations
we'll
talk
about
contracts
and
material
reductions.
That's
really
where
we
focused
in
where,
where
we
can
cut
our
non-essential
expenditures
and
still
maintain
that
level
of
service
that
that
we
need,
although,
as
you'll
see,
there
are
definitely
impacts
to
the
community
and
to
staff
we'll
see
in
in
Council
commissions,
reduced
expenses
for
food,
at
meetings
in
conference
expenditures,
our
ability
to
attend
conferences
and
conferences
and
receive
trainings
and
a
reapportionment
of
how
technology
is
budgeted.
F
Some
of
the
detailed
impacts
I
won't
cover
all
of
these,
but
I'll
give
you
some
highlights.
The
mayor's
fund
will
will
reduce
from
fifteen
thousand
to
ten
thousand
dollars
a
year.
We
will
reduce
Community
funding
by
eight
thousand
dollars,
as
I
highlighted
already,
and
we'll
also
remove
some
other
funding
for
Public
Safety
Forum
expenditures
for
commission
dinners
and
conferences
for
a
school
waste
audit
things
that
are
impactful
to
the
community,
but
don't
reach
that
new
definition
of
essential.
F
F
A
a
similar
theme
that
you'll
see
across
many
departments,
reductions
in
supplies
and
training.
We
don't
believe
this
is
sustainable,
we'll
we
need
to
continue
to
invest
in
our
our
staff
and
our
employees
so
that
they
have
that
training
and
can
gain
that
expertise.
Over
time,
however,
for
the
first
year
these
are
core
to
our
budget.
Balancing
strategy.
F
Each
department
has
a
target
for
Staffing
reductions
for
the
city
manager's
office,
that
is
two
full-time
employees.
We
are
proposing
the
cut
of
the
of
an
assistant
city
manager
position
and
a
Communications
analyst
position,
both
of
which
are
vacant,
and
we
do
have
a
special
project.
We
are
requesting
additional
one-time
funding
of
ten
thousand
dollars
for
Public
Safety,
and
that
was
one
of
the
work
program
items
that
was
funded
last
year
and
we
needed
a
few
extra
dollars
to
complete
that
project.
So
it's
proposed
for
an
addition.
F
This
year
in
the
area
of
law
enforcement,
we
have
a
structured
contract
that
is
that
we're
under
currently
with
the
sheriff's
office.
We
have
budgeted
in
that
cost
increase,
but
we
are
beginning,
as
of
this
week,
negotiations
with
the
sheriff's
department
for
a
new
contract
that
would
take
effect
in
fiscal
year.
24-25.
H
Good
evening,
honorable
mayor
council
members,
it's
my
pleasure
to
talk
to
you
today
about
Innovation
and
technology
and
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
moving
forward.
So,
on
the
first
slide
you
can
see
we
have
an
overall
cut
about
5.4
percent.
We
will
have
1.5
individuals,
mostly
from
the
video
Department
moving
over
into
information
technology,
and
we
have
a
request
for
infrastructure
and
application
enhancements
and
we'll
be
talking
about
that
in
just
a
second
next
slide.
Please,
oh
I'm,
clicking
I'm
clicking.
I
H
Go
the
wrong
way
there.
We
go
all
right,
I'm
going
to
spend
a
little
bit
of
time
on
this
slide,
so
we
were
asked
to
come
up
with
40
Cuts
in
materials
and
20
in
Contract
Services,
and
what
you
can
see
above
you
is
what
we're
doing
today.
You
know
what
we're
what
we're
playing
for
fiscal
year,
24
23
24.!
H
However,
we
would
just
do
it
at
a
different
level,
so
for
us
we're
going
to
be
doing
more
training,
the
trainer
sending
one
person
to
education
and
then
training
the
rest
of
the
team
instead
of
having
a
couple
of
guys
going,
Tech,
refresh
Cycles,
so
every
piece
of
Hardware
we
have
whether
that's
a
laptop,
an
access
point
for
Wi-Fi
or
server
or
storage
element
has
a
tech
refresh
cycle
on
that.
It's
normally
measured
in
years.
H
We're
going
to
be
adding
a
year
to
each
element
that
we
have
reduced
wide
area
network
links,
so
we
have
links
going
out.
This
is
the
redundancy
so
Blackberry
Farm
Blackberry
golf
Monte
Vista.
Those
are
examples,
so
we
have
fault
tolerance
built
into
those
systems
using
a
second
carrier
in
some
cases
we're
going
to
reduce
that.
So
the
limit,
the
fault,
tolerance.
H
We
feel
comfortable
in
doing
that,
simply
because
we've
moved
our
services
to
a
better
provider
and
we've
over
the
last
year
and
a
half
have
had
very
little
disruption
in
service
and
then
the
final
one
is
reduce
outside
support.
So
we
have
highly
technical
applications
that
we
utilize
requires
a
highly
technical
staff.
H
H
Well,
we
do
a
lot
of
pilot
projects
within
the
city.
A
couple
of
examples
of
those
are
traffic
adaptive
traffic
signaling,
which
helps
traffic
flow
through
the
organization
and
through
the
city,
augmented
reality,
we've
done
an
art
tour
which
I
hope
all
of
you
have
done.
Loud
download
downloaded
to
your
phone
and
actually
done
the
tour.
We
have
virtual
reality
that
we're
usually
utilizing
in
this
senior
center
today
and
it
was
well
received
in
the
recent
product,
and
then
we
have
a
few
others,
so
we'll
be
reducing
those.
H
However,
if
Council
has
some
that
they
want
to
do
we'll
absolutely
receive
those.
Assuming
you
give
us
the
funding
the
the
next
one
is.
Over
the
last
couple
of
years,
we've
been
expanding
Wi-Fi
into
city
parks.
We
currently
have
three
to
four
parks
that
have
Wi-Fi
service.
Today
we
will
not
be
expanding
that
any
further,
so
we're
going
to
stop
with
what
we
currently
have.
H
H
Special
projects,
so
these
are
things
as
Matt
said.
We
still
need
to
continue
forward.
There's
things
that
we
have
to
continue
doing
right
and
for
us
we
have
three
projects
coming
forward.
One
of
them
is
the
replacement
of
our
financial
and
HR
System,
which
is
an
enterprise
resource
planning
system.
So
we
are
in
phase
one
now,
which
is
the
needs
assessment
phase.
Two
is
an
RFP
development
which
will
happen
in
the
summer
time.
H
Phase
three
is
actually
the
procurement
and
implementation
of
a
system,
so
we're
asking
to
move
forward
with
that.
Also,
we
have
a
project,
an
application
called
project
docs,
which
is
our

which
the

use

Obviously
we're
kind
of
stuck
on
this
one
that
we
have
to
the
software
vendor
is
now
forcing
us
to
go
to
the
cloud,
because
no
further
enhancements
will
be
happening
on-prem
and
what
that
means
to
us
is
security
holes.
H
So
that
means
go,
go
cloud
or
open
yourself
up
to
some
security
risk
and
then
the
final
one
is:
we
have
a
virtual
reality.
D-Carb
application,
it's
a
one-time,
but
one
of
the
things
to
mention
on
this
is
we
do
have
a
grant.
That
covers
is
100,
and
this
is
going
to
be
working
with
Andre's
group
and

D
The
table-
oh
sorry,
I'm,
on
the
wrong
one.
Administrative
Services
budget
experienced
a
slight
increase
from
the
fiscal
year
24
budget.
This
is
primarily
due
to
the
cost
of
insurance
contracts
and
compensated
absences
that
cannot
be
I
felt
like
I
was
being
loud.
Sorry,
thank
you.
That
cannot
be
reduced
since.
So
that's
why
you
don't
see
a
sharp,
a
reduction
in
our
budget,
however,
and
we
also
don't
have
any
budget
requests.
D
The
next
slide
here
shows
you
in
a
little
greater
detail.
What
those
impacts.
Look
like
I
only
touch
on
a
few
of
these
really
we,
our
department
also
has
Human
Resources,
so
we're
going
to
be
seeing
a
reduction
in
city-wide
training,
also,
potentially,
a
reduction
to
our
internal
audit
budget.
We've
Moss
Adams
who's,
our
current
vendor
we've
asked
them
to
produce
a
reduced
work
plan
for
next
fiscal
year,
aligning
with
our
contract
reduction
targets
and
also
looking
to
combine.
We
have
two
city-wide
events.
D
One
for
years
of
service
and
one
for
a
holiday

for
Community

we're
going
to
be
doing
reduced
printing
of
our
budget
budget
at
a
glance
and
our
annual
comprehensive
financial
report
for
administrative
Services,
where
our
our
Target
was
one
position
and
we
will
be
eliminating
a
vacant
administrative
assistant
position
with
that.
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Rachelle
Sanders
to
cover
Parks
and
Recreation.
J
The
internal
and
Community
impacts
include
reducing
some
of
our
marketing
social
media,
ads
merging
some
of
our
Publications
making
our
rec
brochure,
smaller
expansion,
reducing
the
expansion
of
any
new
offerings
or
programs
classes
or
camps,
and
reducing
the
funding
on
some
of
our
events
that
you
can
see
here.
It
also
includes
the
removal
of
any
extra
office
hours
at
appropriate
buildings
and
some
free
events.
Not
all
you
can
see
some
of
the
ones
here
and
the
budget
to
cover

J
Parks
and
Recreation
proposes
to
eliminate
two
full-time
staff:
employee
positions,
our
Recreation
manager
position
that
is
currently
vacant
and
our
community
outreach
specialist
position,
which
is
also
currently
vacant.
We
also
are
going
to
delay
filling
any
vacancies
when
possible
and
cutting
our
part-time
staff
budget
to
the
absolute
minimum
levels
to
continue
doing
what
we
are
doing.

Thank
you

Community

Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
come
and
talk
to
you
about
CDB's
budget
this
year.
As
you
can
see,
even
though
we
have
efforts
to
reduce
a
budget,
you
will
see
an
increase
about
1.3
percent
to
our
budget
from
last
year
and
that's
due
to
compensation,
benefits
and
also
slight
increase
in
some
of
our
contract.
Services.
As
you
know,
we
receive
Revenue
through
permafes
and
impact
fee.
K
K
Our
efforts
in
in
reduction
for
the
budget,
looking
at
consolidation
of
our
conference
attendance
and
the
professional
development
opportunities
as
we
come
out
of
the
pandemic,
we
realize
that
there's
a
lot
of
virtual
options
for
our
professional
development
opportunities,
so
we're
going
to
look
to
to
take
advantage
of
that.
We
do
have
a
wide
range
of
talents
and
Specialties
in
our
departments,
whether
it's
plan
planners
and
Engineers
plan,
Checkers,
Permatex
inspectors
and
code
enforcement
officers
and
others.
K
K
This
year
we
propose
the
elimination
of
three
FTS.
We
have
office
assistant,
senior
housing,
planner
and
also
through
some
consolidation
efforts
of
roles
and
responsibilities,
we'll
be
able
to
remove
one
manager
vacancy
as
well
as
of
now.
We
have
total
13
vacancies
out
of
38
bodies,
FTS
moving
forward.
We
will
be
evaluating
priorities
and
timing
of
each
of
those
recruitments,
so
we
don't
sort
of
flood
the
process
all
at
once.
L
L
L
I
would
like
to
note
that
a
large
portion
of
the
materials
cost
shown
here
are
for
utilities
that
the
city
utilizes,
including
water,
electricity,
sewer
gas,
the
city
as
well
as
everyone
here
and
listening
in
today,
has
experienced
relatively
significant
rate
increases
in
utilities,
and
those
increases
are
reflected
here.
With
that
stated,
we
are
looking
for
opportunities
to
reduce
overall
usage
where
feasible.
L
These
reductions
are
anticipated
to
result
in
a
lower
pavement
condition
index
for
the
city,
which
means
less
pristine
roads,
but
we're
we're
doing
well
now,
so
we've
got
a
little
bit
of
room
to
flex
on
that
for
Staffing.
That
department
has
proposed
the
elimination
of
five
full-time
employee
positions.
We
also
plan
to
delay
filling
other
vacancies
for
the
foreseeable
future,
resulting
in
a
reduction
of
six
positions
overall
within
the
department
by
July
1st
of
this
year.
So
we're
we're
going
to
be
seeing
savings
right
off
the
bat
and
then
for
special
projects.
L
We
do
have
a
modest
request.
You
know
the
first
two
projects
shown
here
which
are
large,
are
the
city's
ongoing
pavement
maintenance
projects,
and
it
should
be
noted
that
a
significant
portion
of
these
funds
are
provided
from
external
sources
such
as
measure
B
and
sb1,
so
another
one,
the
hHw
and
paint
care.
We
have
an
existing
fund
that
is
restricted
for
use
on
household
hazardous
waste.
So
we
are
this.
L
E
Good
evening,
honorable
mayor
and
city
council,
the
non-deploymental
category
encompasses
the
city's
Debt
Service
payments
for
City
facilities,
as
well
as
transfers
from
the
general
fund
to
other
funds.
The
non-deploymental
budget
is
decreasing
primarily
due
to
reduced
transfers
to
other
funds.
These
reductions
stem
from
expenditure
reductions
in
the
special
Revenue
funds
and
the
Enterprise
funds
and
in
the
internal
service
funds.
Additionally,
transfers
to
fund
capital
projects
have
also
been
eliminated
in
this
year's
proposed
budget.
E
The
city's
proposed
budget
document
is
typically
printed
during
the
first
week
of
May
each
year,
allowing
sufficient
time
for
the
public
and
city
council
to
review
its
contents
to
meet
this
printing
deadline.
Any
changes
made
after
a
specific
date
or
after
the
document's
printing
date
are
not
included
in
the
printed
budget.
Instead,
these
changes
are
presented
to
city
council
as
part
of
the
study
session
or
the
final
budget
hearing
and
adoption
session.
E
One
such
change
pertains
to
the
revenue
generated
from
festivals
as
Parks
and
Recreation
is
recommending
that
Festival
organizers
pay
fees
that
were
previously
waived
or
that
were
waived
in
previous
fiscal
years.
If
approved,
this
adjustment
is
estimated
to
increase
Revenue
by
84
218
dollars
and
the
festival
fee
waivers
table
has
been
included
as
a
desk
item.
E
In
addition,
the
city
manager's
office
is
requesting
to
reclassify
the
emergency
services
manager
as
an
assistant
to
the
city
manager.
If
approved,
this
reclassification
will
result
in
an
increase
in
expenditures
of
25
000
360
dollars
now
I'll
hand
it
over
to
assistant
city
manager,
moyley
to
discuss
the
city
work
program.
F
True
to
the
city
work
program,
since
we
spent
so
much
time
going
through
it
earlier
this
year,
you'll
see
in
the
budget
document
that
we've
broken
it
out
and
and
presented
it
in
a
little
different
way.
We've
got
this
current
Year's
work
program
items
and
then
a
number
or
an
increased
number
of
items
in
next
fiscal
Year's
work
program.
The
idea
there
was
to
really
structure
a
more
limited
approach
and
more
limited
funding
approach
this
current
year.
So
the
total
work
program
for
this
year
is
215
000
you'll
see
on.
Thank
you.
F
F
So
you
can
on
this
slide,
you
can
see
that
the
final
additional
recommended
funding
for
the
upcoming
fiscal
years
that
215
000
that
I
referenced.
It
was
important
to
us
to
remain
true
to
the
list
that
the
council
had
reviewed
previously
and
with
that
the
2024-2025
list
is
fairly
substantial
and
has
a
fairly
large
dollar
amount.
We
anticipate
bringing
this
back
to
the
council
in
the
early
part
of
next
calendar
year
to
revisit
as
we
we
noted
earlier.
F
It's
a
two-year
work
program,
so
these
would
be
the
pro
the
projects
that
we
would
take
on
next
year
and
then,
depending
on
how
the
budget
is
shaping
for
next
fiscal
year,
we
would
propose
revisions
to
the
work
program
at
that
point
and
have
that
conversation
with
the
council
in
our
annual
work
program
discussion
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
our
Capital
Improvement
program.
Folks,.
L
I
forgot
that
I
was
coming
back
up,
so
we
have
our
Capital
Improvement
program.
Let's
go
to
the
next
slide
here
earlier
this
year
we
brought
to
you
six
new
projects
that
we
were
hoping
to
push
forward.
This
was,
of
course,
before
we,
you
know,
hit
the
the
budget
lows
that
we're
at
now,
we've
reduced
that
down
to
two,
which
are
you
know,
projects
that
we
really
want
to
move
forward.
The
the
Stevens
Creek
Calabasas,
Creek,
storm
grain
repair
project.
L
Again,
that's
a
Safety
project,
so
we
want
to
kind
of
move
that
forward
and
then
we
have
the
Stevens
Creek
Bridge
repair
project.
This
is
also
backed
by
a
considerable
amount
of
federal
funds,
so
we're
pushing
these
forward.
The
others
have
dropped
off
and
we'll
be
looking
at
opportunities
to
bring
those
forward
in
the
future,
and
then
we
have
some
existing
projects
where
we're
looking
to
continue
funding
for
them.
Our
annual
street
light
installation
where
we
basically
go
in
and
install
street
lights
where
residence
requests.
L
We
have
our
annual
playground
replacement
projects,
and
these
funds
here
are
to
support
a
significant
grant
that
the
city
got
for
replacement
of
playgrounds.
We
received
450
000
in
Grant
Monies
to
replace
three
playgrounds,
so
these
are
to
match
those
funds,
which
is
a
requirement
of
the
grant
Ada
improvements,
which
is
an
ongoing
issue.
We
want
to
try
and
be
compliant
with
ADA
requirements
and
then
our
Citywide
building
condition
assessment
implementation.
Many
of
the
city's
facilities
are
in
need
of
repairs
upgrades.
You
know,
alarms
other
safety
issues.
L
D
Home
stretch
of
the
presentation
here,
just
a
few
more
slides
to
go,
we
want
to
cover
issues
and
challenges
so
right
at
the
top.
There
is
the
impact
from
the
cdtfa
sales
tax.
Audit
again
is
budget
manager.
Liang
mentioned.
We
should
be
expecting
to
receive
that
within
four
to
six
months.
The
other
thing
is
our
Capital
Project
funding.
Also
as
budget
manager
Liang
mentioned,
we
have
removed
the
2.5
million
dollar
annual
transfer
to
the
capital
reserve
so
effectively.
D
The
balance
they
currently
have
in
that
fund
is
what
they
have
to
spend
over
the
next
10
years
and
giving
the
city's
aging
infrastructure
that's
not
going
to
be
sustainable,
we're
going
to
have
to
figure
out
a
way
to
fund
these
projects.
In
addition,
as
labor
negotiations,
we
mentioned
at
the
beginning
of
the
presentation
that
we
don't
have
a
cost
of
living
adjustments
built
in.
D
We
do
have
the
placeholder
for
Calpers
growth
in
payroll,
but
in
order
to
recruit
and
retain
staff,
we
will
need
to
figure
out
what
we
can
do
in
terms
of
Labor
negotiation
to
stay
competitive
in
the
labor
market.
A
law
enforcement
cost
was
also
mentioned
as
we'll
be
renegotiating
the
contract
with
the
Sheriff's
Office.
It
is
the
largest
component
of
our
contract
cost
and
reduced
Staffing.
As
we
already
mentioned,
reducing
14
positions,
this
budget
three
to
four
in
the
forecast.
How
do
we
continue
City
operations?
D
How
do
City
operations
change
with
that
reduced,
Staffing,
Staffing
reductions?
This
is
just
meant
to
show
you
all
in
one
location,
the
14
positions
that
are
being
recommended
recommended
recommended
to
be
reduced
and
with
that
just
real
quick
next
steps
we
want
to
cover.
We
were
here
last
night
and
giving
a
presentation
on
the
third
quarter
financial
report.
The
orange
dot
is
where
we
are
this
evening.
D
The
proposed
budget
study
session
we'll
be
back
tomorrow
with
the
community
budget
town
hall
and
then
back
again
on
June
6th
for
the
final
budget
hearing
and
adoption,
and
that
then
back
on
November
2023,
to
give
you
our
first
quarter
financial
report
update
this
covers
how
we
ended
the
previous
fiscal
year
and
let
you
know
how
we're
doing
in
the
first
three
months
of
the
current
fiscal
year
with
that.
That
concludes
the
presentation
and
staff
is
available
for
any
questions
you
might
have.
A
Thank
you
so
first
I'd
like
to
thank
city
manager,
Wu
in
our
financing
and
all
the
directors
for
your
diligence
and
really
good
analysis.
So
we
cannot
do
this
without
your
professionalism
and
your
expertise.
So
thank
you
very
much
and
second
I'd
like
to
establish
some
ground
set
before
we
go
into
questions.
Discussions
and
public
input.
I
want
to
refer
back
to
our
city
council
procedures
manual
that
we
passed
early
this
year
and
especially
point
to
1.2
values,
courtesy
and
respect
for
individual
points
of
view
should
be
practiced
at
all
times.
A
We
are
here
to
work
together
in
a
challenging
time,
but
as
administrative
direct
Affair
says,
this
is
challenging,
but
two
every
one
of
us
a
challenging
means
opportunities.
So
this
is
opportunities
for
staff
and
Council
and
public
to
work
together,
but
we
one
thing
we
really
need
to
pay
attention
is
to
show
respect
and
courtesy
to
each
other,
and
second
I
would
like
everyone
to
keep
an
open
mind.
Yes,
we
always
think
that
we
study
thoroughly
and
our
proposals.
Our
points
of
view
might
be
really
good,
but
listen
carefully.
A
What
other
people's
reasons
and
strategies?
Why
are
they
proposing
what
they
propose?
Make
note
of
it
and
keep
an
open
mind?
Third,
emphasize
your
focus.
Why
are
we
doing
this?
Why
do
we
propose
this?
What
is
your
focus
and
I
do
believe?
We
have
different
focuses.
That's
why
we
have
different
proposals,
so
refrain
from
using
negative
comments
and
really
focus
on
why
you
believe
what
you
do
so
I
like
everyone
to
really
work
together.
A
A
But
if
we
keep
in
mind
that
we
are
here
doing
together
to
keep
our
day-to-day
service
to
our
residents
to
make
sure
our
city
is
well
run,
but
also
to
look
into
the
future
and
look
for
opportunities
and
be
open-minded
of
what
we
can
do
together,
I
think
we
can
have
really
good
session
today
and
tomorrow
and
really
he
put
our
city
in
a
really
great
track.
So
I
hope
everyone
will
show
courtesy
and
respect,
be
open-minded
and
really
focus
on
what
we
should
do
in
the
future.
A
A
Council
member,
if
not
I,
actually
have
two
questions.
Can
I
ask
first:
okay,
so
back
to
the
community
funding
slide,
it's
32
500
is
proposed
by
the
Park
and
Recreation
Commission
this
time
and
the
proposals
reduced
it
by
20
to
24
500..
But
what
was
our
original
funding
last
year?
I
remember.
It
was
around
65
000
or
69
000,
oh
yeah,
Park
and
Recreation.
Director
Russia
is
here.
J
A
To
me,
32
500
per
post
by
Park
and
Recreation
Commission,
it's
already
a
50
reduction
from
last
year's,
so
I'm
a
little
concerned
reduce
it
more.
So
that's
one
of
my
questions.
I
would
like
to
honor
Park
and
Recreations
request
that
just
my
personal
views,
so
thank
you,
for
it
don't
go
away.
Russia
I,
think.
My
next
question
is
yours
too.
Okay,
so
Shakespeare
in
the
park
I
understand
we
will
cut
the
funding,
but
we'll
work
with
them
to
make
sure
it
goes
forward
and
with
fundraising,
or
you
know,
support
from
the
community.
A
What,
if
the
fundraisers
are
not
access?
Successful
as
it
is,
will
we
be
able
to
say
we
we
have
a
little
budget
to
make
up
for
it
to
make
sure
we
have
shakes
in
the
park
in
the
summer.
It
really
is
a
very
important
program
for
our
community
and
I
heard
a
lot
of
feedbacks.
People
really
love.
It
go
out
there
in
the
summer
and
you
know,
sit
together
and
enjoy
this
so
Dewey
is
it
possible.
We
can
have
some
backup
funding
for
that.
A
C
F
If
I
could
just
add
to
that
briefly
mayor
that
we,
we
expect
that
with
the
Deep
cuts
that
we're
making
this
year,
that
there'll
be
needs
to
come
back
to
the
council
over
the
course
of
the
year
to
make
Corrections,
where
we
may
maybe
correct,
corrected
too
much
cut
too
much.
So
these
these
might
be
circumstances
individual
circumstances,
but
there
certainly
may
be
others
across
the
year
and
we
would
use
the
quarterly
or
the
mid-year
updates
to
to
bring
that
information
to
you
in
those
requests.
So.
A
J
Honestly,
she
went
through
I
think
she
did
a
very
good
job
of
of
emailing
what
they
were
thinking
at
the
end
of
the
meeting.
They
did
make
sure
that
they
ranked
the
way
that
they
wanted
the
actual
organizations
to
be
funded
for
the
purpose
of
in
the
past,
we
haven't
always
funded
exactly
what
record,
Parks
and
Recreation
has
brought
forward.
So
if
you
look
at
their
actual
ranking
that
she
has
listed,
that's
what
Parks
and
Recreation
commission's
recommendation
is
to
you.
M
J
So
it's
been
done
in
more
than
one
way
in
the
past.
It
really
is
up
to
Council.
In
the
end,
the
groups
do
know
via
the
application
that
they
need
to
have
external
funding
opportunities,
not
just
our
money,
so
there
is
a
possibility
of
percentages.
If
that's
the
way
you
would
like
to
do
it,
but
it
does
make
it
easier
for
the
organizations
if
we
were
to
just
cut
full
organizations.
M
M
K
We
hope
that
they
will
be
able
to
come
in,
of
course,
sooner
and
better,
and
so
you
have
projects
ranging
from
Apple
VP
one
that
just
came
through
Council
for
approval
a
few
weeks
ago
to
a
residential
project.
Mixed
use
projects
such
as
Canon,
Crossing,
Marina,
Plaza
I,
won't
go
into
those
numbers
in
detail,
but
that's
what
these
Pro
these.
K
These
estimates
are
for
for
these
development
projects
that
were
approved
by
Council,
but
we
either
have
not
received
permits
for
or
we
have
not
received
a
complete
package
of
permits
for,
and
so
you
see
projects,
for
example,
Westport.
You
see
some
development
happening,
but
we
have
not
received
all
the
permits
for
all
the
different
types
of
units
there.
Yet
and
that's
why
that
project
is
there?
E
Thank
you,
council,
member
fluent
for
your
question,
so
for
property
tax
and
we
base
the
estimates
on
the
increased
value
of
the
improvements,
but
not
on
an
increased
value
of
the
land.
In
other
words,
we're
assuming
that
the
that
there
won't
be
any
sales
of
these
lands.
It's
just
going
to
be
the
same
owner,
and
so
the
increased
value
of
the
improvements
is
based
on
the
number
of
bedrooms
for
Residential
Properties
and
for
commercial
properties
like
hotels,
retail
office.
A
A
N
Then
more,
thank
you
and
I.
Don't
want
this
to
ding
my
time,
but
we
should
have
the
an
explanation
about
the
the
impact
fees
and
what
those
are
actually
intended
to
be
for
and
what
the
legal
requirements
are
for
the
amount
for
those
impact
fees
to
be
asked
for
so
basically
they're
to
solve
the
problems
that
the
development
causes.
N
Okay,
so
we
are
supposed
to
each
year
look
at
the
the
law
enforcement
miscellaneous
number,
which
is
the
the
donation
from
Apple
for
to
sheriffs
for
beat
C5
and
that's
a
little
over
a
million
dollars
and
we're
we
are
according
to
the
the
meeting
that
was
held
in
2018
when
the
stoneation
amount
started.
We're
supposed
to
have
a
discussion
about
whether
we
want
to
be
continuing
with
this
particular
allocation
and
will
that
be
coming
to
us
at
the
at
the
June
meeting.
So.
C
Through
the
mayor,
if
I
may
council
member
Moore,
thank
you
for
your
question
so
I
believe
the
donation
was
something
that
was
contemplated
back
when
Valco
Park
one
was
being
developed.
As
assistant
city
manager,
Morley
alluded
to
earlier.
We
have
started
a
conversation
with
the
Sheriff's
Office
on
the
new
contract
so
going
forward
the
transaction
to
document
these
activity
will
be
included
in
a
new
contract,
so
this
will
not
be
included
in
a
June
final
budget
for
you
to
consider
it
this
year.
N
N
To
my
knowledge,
we
haven't
had
a
discussion
about
how
to
rank
these.
These
Festival
waivers
and
some
kind
of
comparison
with
the
cities
around
us
because
we're
in
a
different
financial
situation.
I,
has
there
been
a
study
of
like
a
combination
showing
our
Festival
waivers,
our
sister
city
waivers
and
the
the
facility
waivers?
N
C
Tsudame,
if
I
may
so,
we've
provided
a
festival
with
fee
waiver
chart
in
your
desk
item.
I.
Believe
that
we're
also
bringing
the
sister
city
policy
back
for
Council
to
reconsider
to
make
adjustment
later
on
this
year,
which
will
we
could
also
clarify
on
what
the
use
facility
as
part
of
the
the
funding
that's
provided
by
the
city
to
sister
city.
That
will
not
be
part
of
the
budget
for
your
consideration
today.
So
we
can
definitely
provide
those
information
to
you
on
a
separate
matter
to
follow
up.
N
Okay,
so
we're
we're
not
really
getting
a
complete
picture,
then,
because
we've
got
the
sister
cities,
we've
got
Staffing.
It
looks
like
for
sister
cities
a
little
over
about
seventy
three
thousand
dollars
within
the
budget.
We
have
18
free
uses
of
of
the
city
facilities.
We
have
waivers
Festival
fee
waivers
of
approximately
oh
about
forty
one
thousand
dollars
and
and
then
there's
additional
grants
of
a
little
over
five
thousand
dollars.
N
So
I
I
do
think
we,
since
we
are
looking
at
a
comprehensive
budget,
cut,
need
to
know
all
of
the
places
where
that
could
happen
and
have
a
conversation
about
where
you
know
what
our
objectives
are
and
if
we
want
to
continue
on
with
these
things,
just
at
least
put
it
out
there.
So
we
can
have
a
discussion.
Thank
you.
O
Here
we
are
looking
at
24
000
about
among
seven
organizations,
and
but
we
have,
although
I
have
been
very
supportive
in
providing
historical
society
as
the
staple
funding
since
I
got
elected,
but
I
feel
I'm
obligated
to
make
sure
that
we
look
at
all
the
funding
to
all
communities
as
we
consider
cutting
so
I
have
requested
the
city
staff
to
please
provide
I,
know
of
historic
societies.
Forty
thousand
for
one
organization
and
five
thousand
per
sister
city
I,
don't
know
if
there
are
other
similar
funding.
O
This
is
already
a
reduction
50
reduction
from
normal
right
and
it
seems
we
need
to
be
fair
for
organizations
if
some
people,
if
we
are
reducing
50
here
it
seems
we
should
have
better
picture
of
all
the
other
funding.
So
I'm
wondering.
Can
we
have
on
visibility
into
other
community
funding,
including
sister
city,
historical
society
and
other
organizations,
so
we
can
consider
them
together.
Do
we
have
those
foreign.
J
O
O
O
J
I
just
want
to
make
sure
there
is
understanding
that
something
like
the
historical
society
is
an
agreement.
So
if
you
did
actually
cancel
that
agreement,
you're
not
just
canceling
the
funding,
you're
canceling
their
Museum
space
at
Quinlan,
and
if
we
did
want
to
renegotiate
that
that
would
be
separate
from
this
budget
item.
It
would
need
to
be
brought
back
to
council
as
a
separate
item.
So
I
just
want
to
put
that
out.
There.
D
D
And
yeah,
if
I
could
just
add
to
that
it's
been
mentioned
just
a
few
times
in
the
presentation.
We
had
a
very
quick
turnaround
to
get
to
this
reduced
number
so
before
you
tonight
is
kind
of
the
best
estimates
we
could
come
up
and
the
easier
cuts
that
we
can
make.
If
we
receive
Council
direction
that
you
would
like
us
to
look
at
further
reductions
in
other
areas,
we
can
definitely
do
that.
O
Yeah,
it's
something
I'm
very
reluctant
to
do.
I
know
that
history
is
very
important,
but
seeing
the
community
funding
of
only
24
000
among
seven
organizations,
I
kind
of
feel
it.
We
are
obligated
to
look
at
all
so
maybe
not
right
now,
but
then
that's
something
we
should
consider
in
the
next
discussion
and
another
question
is
regarding
Staffing:
it's
it's
really
great
that
we
won't
have
to
lay
off
anyone,
and
that
will
be
the
last
thing
we
want
to
do.
O
However,
we
do
have
43
vacancies
right
now
and
then
we
are
only
reducing
14.
and
thank
you,
the
staff
for
this
historical
staffing
chart.
That's
really
really
helpful
to
be
part
of
the
discussion,
as
we
can
see
that
there
is
a
spike
last
year
and
the
the
increase
just
one
year
was
22
positions,
and
now
we
are
cutting
only
14.
So
that
means
we
are
not
even
cutting
to
the
year
before
and
then
in
2020
2021.
O
We
had
198
and
if
you
look
at
2014-15
that
was
when
I
first
got
involved
in
City
politics.
I
remember:
our
budget
was
75
million
dollars
our
revenue
and
this
year
our
projected
revenue
is
about
80
million,
so
we
are
about
the
same
level
of
Revenue
as
2014-15
and
that
the
Staffing
level
at
that
time
is
1
14
169.
C
O
A
P
You
Mary
just
to
follow
up
on
council
member
Charles
question
about
the
vacant
positions.
Our
immediate
purpose
today
is
to
balance
next
year's
budget
and
I.
Think
I
heard
you
say
that
for
the
next
several
years
there
will
be
three
or
four
positions
that
will
be
cut
to
to
get
to
the
pre-pandemic
levels.
Maybe
20
2015..
P
D
P
P
D
D
There
would
be
other
reserves
in
the
special
funds
so
in
the
internal
service
funds.
Enterprise
funds
and
special
special
Revenue
fund
is
adding
Revenue,
but
those
are
also
using
fund
balance
and
that's
part
of
our
you
can
see
in
the
one
point:
nope
5.8
million
the
reduction
to
other
funds
and
that's
because
the
funds
have
either
built
up
sufficient
fund
balance
because
their
revenues
have
exceeded
their
expenditures
in
Prior
years.
P
A
P
And
I
hate
to
do
this
because
it's
a
very
short
question
but
there's
some
several
of
the
events
that
are
planned
for
reduction
will
happen
quite
soon
earlier
on
in
the
fiscal
year
right,
the
Fourth
of
July,
so
those
won't
get
affected
for
for
this
year
at
all,
so
any
cuts
that
we
make
to
those,
including
Shakespeare
in
the
park.
Those
I'm
assuming
the
planning,
is
all
set
for
those
events
and
no
Cuts
or
changes
will
be
made
to
to
those
events
which
have
already
been
planned
for
the
next
few
months.
J
We
will
be
proposing
to
close
Blackberry
Farm
pools
on
the
fourth
that
will
save
us
quite
a
bit
in
lifeguarding
Staffing
costs
and
we
are
going
to
cut
some
of
what
is
happening
at
Quinlan.
So
the
pancake
breakfast
will
still
happen.
The
flag,
raising
certain
things
that
don't
cost
us
very
much
money,
but
things
like
the
bounce
houses
that
cost
quite
a
bit
will
be
cut
for
this
year.
J
J
A
B
Q
Q
Go
good
afternoon,
city,
council
or
evening
hi
I'm,
Jennifer
Griffin,
and
this
is
the
23rd
year-
I've
gone
through
one
of
these
and
I
understand
them
more
and
more
now,
I
think
the
staff
did
a
really
good
job
of
trying
to
deal
with
the
unexpected
decrease
in
funds.
It's
not
fun,
but
it's
doable
I'm
of
a
mind
that
we
all
survived
covet.
We
went
through
a
lot
of
change.
We
learned
how
to
deal
with
things
we
had
to
stay
home.
We
had
to
learn
how
to
shop.
Q
Q
We
can
always
remember,
as
you
all
said
in
this.
The
audit
by
that
is
happening
with
Apple
with
the
big
long
name
is
not
going
to
be
over
till
July.
We
can
once
that
has
happened.
We
can
always
go
back
and
ask
for
a
reconsideration
from
the
audit
from
the
state
level
we
have
that
we
always
have
that
available.
Everyone
has
the
right
to
say.
Why
is
this
happening?
Q
This
is
also
an
excellent
time
that,
if
you
have
employees
in
certain
areas
who
are
interested
in
going
into
different
departments,
if
you
want
to
pull
meet
more
people
into
I.T
into
computer
science,
Etc
section
pull
them
in
from
other
departments
and
train
Mentor
Hands-On.
This
is
exactly
what
you
do.
You
train
the
people
there
you,
yes,
it's
expensive,
I
I
have
actually
been
to
Unix
system
administration,
training
classes
at
SGI,
et
cetera,
Etc,
we're
talking
about
five
thousand
dollars.
Okay,
we
don't
have
the
many
to
do
that.
Q
R
Hi,
in
my
opinion,
the
budget
is
not
proposing
the
soft
Landing
it's
more
like
landing
on
a
feather
bed,
rather
than
a
futon
to
balance
the
budget,
we're
looking
at
dipping
into
savings
for
over
a
decade.
This
is
not
okay,
good!
You
got
my
overhead!
Thank
you
very
much,
so
this
presentation
needs
to
compare
the
2022
actuals
with
proposed
2024
budget
instead
of
comparing
with
the
2023,
and
so,
if
you
compare
it
that
way,
if
you
go
and
look
in
the
budget,
we're
really
not
reducing
that
much.
In
fact,
here
I've
done
this.
R
You
can
see
here
that
our
actual
labor
increase
when
you
do
is
going
from
2.5
to
2.8
no
big
difference
in
material
changes
and
a
massive
increase
in
Special
Projects.
So
please,
let's
go
back
to
the
drawing
board
on
that
one.
Please
consider
a
more
robust
business
license
head
tax
under
square
footage
and
parity
with
other
cities
cell
burn.
Now
the
weather's
good
and
we're
not
doing
anything
with
it.
We've
known
since
2005
that
the
city
hall
needs
a
seismic
repair.
Do
it
now
stop
throwing
away
money
on
studies
for
a
new
city
hall?
R
We
need
to
have
a
full
understanding
of
cost
centers,
for
example,
the
senior
center
and
blackberry
swim
costs
are
in
multiple
places,
so
we
really
don't
know
what
it's
costing
on
a
holistic
basis.
We've
heard
that
word
holistic
I
really
like
it,
and
we
need
to
look
that
same
for
Chamber
of
Commerce.
There's
rental
rooms,
Festival
waivers
contributions
Etc,
so
we
need
to
be
able
to
make
educated
decisions.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
our
Public
Funding
benefits
Cupertino
taxpayers.
For
instance,
the
executive
director
has
left
the
Historical
Society
until
she's
been
replaced.
R
Maybe
we
do
need
to
renegotiate
that
forty
thousand
dollar
payment
to
them
on
the
supplemental
report,
Mr
Food
showed
seems
to
suggest
that
we
can
get
ourselves
out
of
this
mess
through
development
fees.
That
is
a
false
economy
and
and
we
we
need
to
do
better
on,
we
won't
do
better
on
sales
tax
if
we
don't
get
new
good,
great
retail.
R
R
To
sum
up,
the
reductions
are
insufficient,
it's
kind
of
like
saying
well
we're
eating
five
desserts,
and
now
you
can
only
eat
three
desserts,
but
we
really
need
to
be
eating
one
or
zero
desserts,
because
we
are
going
to
be
on
a
diet
after
all,
so
thank
you
very
much.
We've
got
a
lot
of
work
ahead
of
us.
I
Thank
you,
Council.
Thank
you
for
letting
us
get
up
and
speak
mayor.
I
sent
you
a
video
showing
how
to
do
water
management.
I've
offered
to
train
your
staff
on
that
I've
been
doing
Water
Management.
Just
under
50
years
we
cut
hewlett-packard's
Water
by
40
percent.
We
cut
10
of
computers
by
40
percent.
I
We
got
hundreds
of
thousands
in
savings
on
just
two
apartments
for
sobrato
Corporation.
All
of
this
has
been
audited
city
of
San.
Jose
said
it
wasn't
possible,
so
tandem
said
well,
then
audit
us
and
they
audited
with
brown
and
Caldwell
engineering,
and
they
found
it
to
be
true
with
just
software.
You
can't
schedule
water
without
science
and
math
and
I
partnered
with
a
super
Computing
company.
They
have
the
software.
The
server
that
their
software
is
on
is
so
Protected
Their
clients
are
Apple,
Facebook,
Boeing
Google,
and
so
it's
super
safe.
I
They
even
have
a
government
site.
It
is
cloud
because
that's
the
most
efficient
way
to
do
it.
I
would
like
to
train
your
staff
I'll.
Do
it
on
performance?
So
if
we
save
water
I
get
paid,
if
I
don't
save
you
water,
then
I
don't
get
any
money.
Very
simple:
I
love,
Cupertino,
it's
the
best
city
on
the
planet,
can't
imagine
living
anywhere
else.
I
S
S
Well,
the
immediate
first
year
is
tough,
as
everyone
has
to
adjust
to
a
new
normal
I
am
pleased
that
there
are
no
layoffs
included
in
the
budget.
That's
reassurance
to
staff
that
they
are
valued.
However,
it
does
mean
that
job
responsibilities
will
need
to
be
shifted
between
departments.
So
that
will
require
flexibility
and
budget
adjustments
to
reflect
those
changes.
S
S
S
S
B
B
T
B
T
Thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
B
and
council
members
I
think
I.
The
presentation
was
really
good
and
I'm
very
happy
that
every
department
has
gone
through
the
you
know.
We
have
used
the
their
ability
to
cut
pass
in.
You
know
in
a
very
thoughtful
way
which
will
help
them.
Of
course,
we
still
are
in
in
terms
of
head
count.
We
could
do
a
little
better,
but
I
think
you
know.
I
I
wouldn't
say
that
the
current
proposal
has
any
deficiency
as
of
now.
So
that's
not
the
main
argument.
T
The
main
thing
I
would
like
to
talk
about.
The
things
which
I
would
like
to
talk
about
is
essentially
to
do
with
Community
funding,
which
is
on
page
36,
and
then
the
law
enforcement
budget,
and
then
the
Community
Development,
so
in
terms
of
community
funding,
I
I
failed
to
see
why.
First
of
all,
we
probably
need
to
have
a
ranking
of
this
community
services.
T
I
think
you
know
cutting
the
West
Valley
Community
services,
byton,
500,
I,
think
that
is
going
to
really
hurt
because
we
definitely
human
services
offered
City
should
be
something
we
should
be
considered
at
a
you
know.
Should
we
top
of
priorities
and
I
think
you
know
reducing
the
budget
by
two
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
for
West
Valley,
Community
Services
and
some
of
the
other
things
which
are
listed
in
in
terms
of
community
funding,
eight
thousand
dollars
I?
Think
we
can
look
for
those
I
think
they
deserve
to
be.
T
T
Happy
try
to
see
if
we
can
stay
with
the
projected
thing
of
16
point
something
and
find
out.
You
know
what
is
going
to
be
hit
for
us
at
as
of
now,
until
the
rates
are
reuniversiated,
as
per
the
New
Year
June
2024.
So
that's
a
second
input
from
my
side.
The
third
input
is
that
in
terms
of
Community
Development,
the
allocation
of
the
two
slots
or
fifty
thousand
dollars
I
think
absolutely.
There
should
be
no
them.
T
B
U
U
Ing
should
be
compared
to
the
levels
they
were
at
when
budgets
were
at
these
levels
several
years
ago.
Right
now,
we
have
a
significantly
higher
head
count
in
Staffing
at
a
much
lower
budget
level,
and
all
of
the
cuts
today
have
come
nearly
entirely
from
programs
to
the
community
is
going
to
experience.
U
I
am
dismayed
that
we
are
cutting
programs
for
kids
and
teens.
I
would
hope
that
all
of
you
on
the
council
dies
are
supporters
of
our
you.
We're
cutting
programs
like
bobatino
I,
don't
know
how
many
of
you
have
ever
attended
any
of
the
youth
in
teen
events
that
our
city
conducts
these
are
fantastic
and
vibrant
events
that
really
bring
our
team
and
youth.
Together
of
all
the
events
that
parks
and
director
took
part
on
this
mate
with
Epic
bobatino.
U
U
Please
look
for
places
where
the
community
will
have
the
least
impact
in
terms
of
the
enjoyment
of
the
city
and
underutilized
projects,
especially
study
projects
that
don't
make
it
implementation
are
going
to
pay.
The
price
I'm
really
disappointed
that
Public
Works
is
having
a
much
lower
reduction
than
what
Parks
and
Rec
is
having
right
now
park.
Centric
is
the
face
of
the
city
to
the
to
be
arrested,
cutting
events
like
movies
in
the
park.
I,
don't
know.
If
any
of
you
have
ever
been
to
movies
in
the
park,
it
will
really
help.
U
As
the
council
members
attend
these
Parks
and
Rec
events
movies
in
the
park
is
a
wonderful
festival
and
we
are
cutting
that
I
request
you
to
please
make
deep
Cuts.
All
of
the
wrecks
must
be
taken
out.
Any
of
you
that
have
held
a
real
job
in
a
corporate
world
understand
the
Grim
realities
of
today,
I
mentioned
just
yesterday.
In
the
last
six
months,
this
200
000
layoffs
in
the
Tech
Community.
Thank.
B
V
V
But
when
I
look
at
the
attachment
J
for
law
enforcement,
they're
proposing
almost
two
more
minutes
more
than
the
ideal,
which
is
five
minutes.
This
is
a
31
increase
in
response
time
from
2022,
and
if
you
looked
at
the
surveys,
everybody
wanted
an
office
law
enforcement
to
stay.
I,
don't
understand.
I'd
like
you
to
explain.
Are
we
losing
deputies
what's
happening
to
make
this
so
bad
response
time?
Because
that
will
affect
if
you're
dying
you
want
some
or
you
or
someone
is
attacking
you.
V
V
V
I
would
like
to
tell
you
that
sister
cities
probably
does
not
affect
as
many
people
as
movies
in
the
park
Shakespeare
in
the
park.
Teen
center
look
at
the
impact
to
the
community
when
you're
cutting
the
new
city
hall.
We
shouldn't
even
be
studying
this.
Please.
The
council
has
the
opportunity
and
the
ability
to
stop
this
I
agree
with
the
parks
and
recs
the
other
cuts
and
I
think
I'm
out
almost
out
of
time
cut
travel
period.
W
W
I
would
like
to
especially
thank
all
the
staff
members
working
on
Gathering
public
input
for
the
budget.
I
personally,
myself
contributed
to
the
survey
that
they
were
doing
in
public
Outreach
on
Earth
Day
I
also
saw
them
at
the
Toyota
Kawa
Cherry
Blossom
Festival
I
appreciate
seeing
that
each
of
the
Departments
doing
their
part
in
reducing
their
budgets,
as
you
all
are
experts
in
your
respective
departments
and
working
hard
to
figure
out
ways
together,
so
that
we
can
come
together
and
come
to
a
budget
that
we
can
all
work
with
so
appreciate
your
time.
B
X
X
Previously
two
council
members
had
walked
off
the
Diaz,
and
actually
one
council
member
had
walked
off
the
deals
for
two
meetings
so
rather
than
addressing
questions
from
the
public
or
the
council
because
of
the
findings
by
the
grand
jury
and
the
independent
private
investigator
about
their
Relentless
demands
and
questions,
but
behind
the
scenes
to
staff
so
now
I
see
all
five
council
members
are
present
and
I.
Ask
that
the
questions,
especially
from
those
two
council
members
that
walked
off
the
dice
rather
than
having
questions
asked
of
them.
X
They
want
forward
face
facing
win-win
Solutions,
especially
in
this
budget
process,
and
it's
very
interesting
to
me
that
at
the
same
time
the
grand
jury
and
the
private
investigators
cited
those
two
council
members
that
walked
off
the
field
rather
than
face
question
I
cited
them
for
their
abusive
demands
of
the
staff.
But
yet
one
is
talking
about
decreasing
the
number
of
staff
and
another
person
who's.
X
A
friend
of
these
people,
saying,
let's
cut
more
fast,
so
you
want
more
from
staff,
but
you
also
want
to
decrease
the
number
of
staff
and
the
budget
for
the
staff.
Very
weird
thinking
and
what
is
done
in
front
of
the
scene
is
different
than
what
is
done
behind
the
scene
and
I.
Just
think
that
walking
off
the
DS
was
like
something
that
could
not
be
denied
three
seats
and
two
empty
ones.
Thank.
A
A
Back
to
the
Cupertino
city
council
meeting,
we
are
going
to
continue.
We've
closed
the
public
comments
period,
And
I
like
to
bring
the
discussion
back
to
council
I
like
to
propose
that
a
council
concentrate
on
our
purpose
is
to
provide
direction
to
staff
to
come
back
with
a
budget
proposal
by
June
the
first
week
of
June,
so
that
we
can
pass
the
the
the
the
proposal.
So
the
directions
are
that
I
think
the
staff
needs
clear
directions
on
some
of
the
directions
that
the
council
are
talking
about.
A
But
I
wrote
down
a
few
things
which
one
is
the
historical
society
and
sister
city
or
related
expenses
from
organizations
that's
proposed
by
council
member
Chao
and
also
the
community
funding
that
I
would
really
love
to
keep
it
at
this
32
500
level
and
that's
50,
cut
already
and
reduce
Staffing,
more
that's
proposed
by
ciao
and
maybe
more
I'm,
not
so
sure,
maybe
not,
and
that
I
just
jot
down
if
I
miss
something
and
the
festival
fee
caused.
I.
Think
staff
might
need
a
little
bit
more
Direction
on
that.
One
too.
A
If
there
are
more,
please
on
your
discussion
proposed,
so
that
we
can
maybe
do
a
straw
vote
so
that
the
staff
has
more
clear
direction
to
come
back
next
time
before
that
can
I
acidic
attorney
a
question.
One
of
the
this
public
comment
was
that
we
need
to
fight
this.
Didn't
we
passed
on
a
closed
session
and
reported
back
on
the
Open
Session
that
we
make.
We
voted
to
in
to
authorize
you
to
appeared
cdtfa
if
the.
Y
A
N
Okay,
so
I
would
suggest
that
we
remove
the
manager
contingency,
which
was
added
in
around
2013,
to
14
at
around
a
439
000
value
and
it
increased
to
over
500
000
and
a
couple
of
years
ago,
I'd
asked
to
have
it
removed,
it
was
dropped
to
75
000
and
the
previous
two
actuals
show
zero
was
spent
in
this
in
this
current
budget.
So
I
would
suggest
that
we
completely
remove
that
and
if
the
manager
needs
to
have
that
contingency
have
it
come
to
council.
N
Additionally,
the
contingency
amount,
which
was
materials
Plus,
cost
Contract
Services-
that
was
also
added
around
2013
to
14
I
realized
you've
dropped
it
down
to
1.25
percent.
It's
my
understanding
that
all
of
your
contracts,
you
you
do
put
in
a
contingency,
sometimes
10,
sometimes
15
percent
I,
would
actually
recommend
that
we
remove
the
one
in
a
quarter
percent
in
that
those
amounts
would
come
to
council.
Should
you
need
it?
N
I
was
unaware
of
the
the
acfr
indicating
the
increase
in
emergency
response
time,
so
that
is
disturbing
and
I
did
bring
up
earlier
that
on
page
276
of
the
budget,
we
have
over
one
million
dollars,
which
is
listed
as
miscellaneous.
My
request
is
that
it
no
longer
say
miscellaneous
that
it
does
say
that
the
amount
is
a
donation
from
Apple
for
two
Sheriff
deputies
at
2725
hours
for
beat
C5
and
I.
Think
that's
important,
especially
if
we're
seeing
this
reduction
in
service
with
the
emergency
response
time.
N
N
That's
that's
being
serviced
currently,
I
would
like
more
specifics
regarding
all
of
the
waived
fees
between
the
sister
cities,
I
actually
totaled
up.
If
you
add
the
law
enforcement
sister
cities,
over
142
million
I
I
was
low
before
I
looked
at
the
new
numbers
here,
so
I
think
that
would
help
us
to
to
make
a
decision
about
that.
Just
we
need
to
have
complete
numbers.
N
N
Well,
subsidy
I,
don't
know
how
to
word
it
exactly
to
benefit
to
the
to
the
budget.
The
structural
deficit
that
we
have
there
so
I
I
just
hope
that
everybody
understands
that
that
the
14
positions
have
been
kept
unfilled
and
that
there
is
a
a
a
purpose
for
that
with
regards
to
to
the
budget.
Thank
you.
A
Yes,
so
may
I
councils
preference,
because
we
have
somebody
saying
notes
right,
city
manager,
we
have
now
council
member
Moore,
have
I
think
one
two
three
four
five.
According
to
what
I
put
on
note
that
she
would
like
to
staff
to
have
clear
direction
from
Council.
Do
we
want
to
wait
until
all
five
council
members
have
our
questions
to
decide
or
should
we
decide
now
to
a
straw
vote?
What
would
the
preference.
C
O
Yeah
go
ahead:
okay,
so
yeah
I,
sub,
I
I
hope
that
we
can
keep
art
in
unexpected
places.
We
had
quite
sufficient
art
in
real
fee
which
was
diverted
to
another
project.
When
and
then
we
turned
around
and
cut
our
unexpected
spaces,
which
should
be
justifiable
to
spend
for
art
community,
so
I
think
that
doesn't
make
sense.
We
should
keep
that
and
I
hope
that
we
continue
the
public
safety
Forum,
which
is
very
popular
and
it
reduced
potential
more
extant
potential
future
spending.
O
Besides,
the
staff
has
proposed
to
cut
Sheriff
costs
for
the
festivals,
but
then
there
are
still
significant
subsidies.
Totaling
100
I
think
twenty
thousand
dollars
on
for
all
the
festivals,
so
that
probably
I
hope
the
staff
can
look
in
deeper
into
that,
and
maybe
one
organization
shouldn't
have
two
festivals:
getting
the
fee
waiver
and
then
I
still
wished.
Could
we
get
an
explanation
of
why
the
response
time
will
be
delayed
by
two
seconds?
This
is,
might
be
life
and
death
for
some
people,
so.
O
Provide
an
answer
great,
thank
you
and
then
regarding
the
vacancies.
I
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
what
is
the
staff
situation
now
in
making
the
recommendation?
So,
as
we
can
see
from
here,
we
are
transferring
six
million
dollars
from
General
founder.
Basically,
we
have
a
nine
million
dollar
deficit
still,
but
with
14
vacant
positions
that
save
six
million
dollars.
O
So
I
am
I'm
trying
to
wrap
my
head
around
why
staff
does
not
propose
more
eliminating
more
vacant
positions,
especially
I,
think
about
22
was
it
at
the
last
year
and
the
reason
more
positions
were
at
the
last
two
years
to
work,
because
the
city
actually
has
quite
significant
increase
in
Revenue.
So
I
understand
the
that
the
budget
situation
was
very
different
in
the
past
two
years,
yeah.
C
Would
you
like
some
explanation
on
some
of
the
questions
so
I
understand?
There
were
two
questions
heavily
on
the
sheriff's
response
time.
We
were
just
able
to
hear
back
from
the
sheriff's
department.
There
were
some
outlier
events
that
caused
a
a
delay
in
response
time
and
last
year.
We
don't
want
to
go
into
detail
of
what
those
events
are,
but
those
are
the
outliners
that
caused
a
further
delay,
but
the
normal
response
time
has
been
adhered
too.
That's
on
the
sheriff's
contract,
the
elimination
of
the
proposed
of
14
vacancies.
C
We
do
have
quite
a
bit
of
a
recruitment
going
on
for
the
current
vacancies
to
provide
these
the
essential
operation
to
keep
the
city
going.
If
the
council
would
like
to
see
further
reduction
of
the
Staff
Force,
that
is
certainly
the
council's
discretion.
I
just
want
to
note
to
council
that
that
was
severely
impact.
Maybe
it's
not
severely,
but
it
will
have
a
substantial
impact
to
the
current
city
operation.
We
are
in
current
recruitment
to
bring
some
of
these
vacancies
to
be
built.
O
So
my
understanding
from
the
chart,
the
staff
provided
was
22
were
just
added
last
year
and
then
so,
if
the
staff
could
look
into
do
you
do
we
need
all
the
remaining
vacant
positions
to
provide
essential,
Services
I
would
like
to
know
what
are
they?
And
so
so
we
have
more
understanding
of
the
vacancies
and
more
understanding
of
why
there
is
a
increase
and
we
cannot
reduce
to
provide
services
so.
O
A
P
Y
C
I'm
here,
if
I
may,
provide
some
clarification,
so
the
current
contract
takes
us
through
next
June
and
every
year
in
the
current
contract,
it
would
allow
a
CPI
plus
a
two
percent
increase
for
the
sheriff's
Personnel
increase,
which
that
cost
has
been
implemented
into
the
next
year's
budget.
But
as
City
attorney
Jensen
mentioned
that
we
will
be
starting
a
new
conversation
to
negotiate
the
next
10-year
contract
with
the
sheriff
which
will
come
before
Council
for
consideration
next
year.
P
My
my
other
question
was
I
know:
there's
some
thought:
that's
gone
into,
eliminating
the
14
vacancies
and,
depending
on
how
what
comes
out
of
it,
other
positions
could
be
eliminated
and
that
that's
at
our
discretion,
but
we
should
also
be
looking
at
the
value
that
these
positions
every
time
you
cut
a
position
and
I,
don't
think.
However,
wealthy
we've
been
in
the
past
that
we've
had
just
lots
of
positions
not
doing
nothing.
P
My
other
question
was
since
we,
since
the
budget
expect,
is
expected
to
be
balanced
by
removing
by
reducing
the
reserves.
What
is
the
plan
to
replenish
the
reserves?
Not
not
this
year,
but
next
year
and
so
on?
Is
there
a
plan
because
we've
taken
out
a
substantial,
we
will
be
taking
out
a
substantial
chunk
this
year.
So
what
happens
next
year
in
24,
25
or
26
27,
and
so
on?.
D
So
we're
currently
proposing
to
use
an
assigned
fund
balance
which
does
not
have
a
component
to
replenish
if
we
were
to
dip
into
our
economic
uncertainty,
Reserve
or
other
reserves
per
the
fund
balance
at
one
time
use
policy
in
the
budget
book
there
does
prescribe
a
payback
so
that
we'd
have
to
come
up
with
a
plan
for
how
to
replenish
it.
But
currently
our
unassigned
fund
balance
is
about
50
million
dollars,
so
we
wouldn't
be
coming
close
to
touching
the
24
million
in
the
economic
so
that
there's
different
levels
and
maybe
Thomas
we
can.
D
P
D
We
can
share
Thomas's
screen.
Thank
you.
So
this
shows
you
oops
here
we
go.
It
shows
you
the
levels
of
reserves
that
we
have
in
the
general
fund
and
then
I
think
it
looks
like
page
22
of
the
budget
document.
If
you
go
up
further
down
I,
believe
or
up
into
the
policy,
it
talks
about
what
we
have
to
do,
changes
to
a
replenishment
process.
D
H
D
N
D
In
past
years,
it's
primarily
been
driven
by
sales,
tax
revenue,
but
also
property
and
tot
taxes.
We
saw
big
increases
prior
to
the
pandemic,
although
historically
we
have
at
mid-year,
transferred
out
a
large
portion
of
the
unassigned
fund
balance
to
the
capital
reserve.
We
stopped
that
process
in
March
of
2021.
As
we
had
gotten
word
in
December
of
the
upcoming
audit
for
cdtfa.
We
thought
it
was
prudent
to
hold
on
to
those
dollars
as
opposed
to
transferring
them,
but.
D
22.,
thank
you,
sorry
about
that.
The
years
get
a
little
mixed
up
after
covid,
but
the
other
big
thing
that
caused
fund
balance
to
grow
is
sales
tax.
During
covid
we
saw
phenomenal
growth
in
our
sales
tax
category
and
we
did
not
have
the
expenditures
we
weren't
spending
that
much
more
to
bring
fund
balance
down
at
that
point.
So
those
are
the
over
the
past
few
years:
sales
tax
property
tot
over
the
last
couple
years.
During
covet,
it's
really
been
sales
tax.
It's
been
a
major
driver.
N
D
G
D
D
A
M
M
I
I
certainly
appreciate
what
the
vice
mayor
has
said
about.
You
know
the
value
that
each
staff
member
is
bringing
and
the
service
level
impacts
that
occur
when
you
aren't
able
to
fill
those
positions
and
when
you
aren't
able
to
keep
people
in
those
positions
over
a
duration
of
time,
keep
them
trained.
Etc.
A
So
now
I
do
want
to
follow
up
with
that
I
I
do
value.
Even
we
have
stat
vacancies,
that's
not
filled
I,
don't
think
we're
going
to
feel
them
right
away
and
to
eliminate
a
staff
position.
I
think
it's
hard
to
bring
you
back
so
I
like
to
see
the
current
14
and
then
I
know
the
staff
is
going
to
be
carefully
not
adding
the
30
vacancies
I
like
to
keep
those
vacancies,
so
that
or
you
know
according
to
give
it
more
flexibility
for
the
staff
to
work.
A
That's
my
intention,
but
you
know
we
can
get
the
council's
consensus
on
that.
One
and
second
I
do
agree
that
it's
nice
to
bring
some
maybe
moving
the
park,
something
back.
So
if
you
have
a
number
that
we
can
maybe
I
hate
to
say
this,
but
dip
just
a
little
bit
more
into
our
50
million
dollar
unassigned
budget
I.
Think
for
this
year,
just
to
lessen
a
little
bit.
I
might
be
able
to
inclining
to
do
that,
so
that
is
just
for
YouTube
presented.
So
we
can
all
talk
about
it.
C
C
So
let
me
get
together
with
the
budget
team
and
maybe
with
the
15-minute
recess
we
can
put
together
in
addition
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
that,
so
we
will
look
into
ways
to
accommodate
or
to
take
the
feedback
from
Council.
As
as
mayor
where
you
alluded
to,
there
might
be
potential
to
to
dip
deeper
into
the
reserve.
To
save
some
of
these
programs,
and
then
one
more
thing
I
will
say
is
that
we
could
definitely
look
into
potentially
cutting
additional
positions
from
the
current
staffing
pool.
C
A
The
Junes
of
sixth
right,
one
more
thing,
I
like
to
add,
is
I
understand
that
we're
not
taking
into
future
income
future
extra
property
tax
Westport
is
moving
really
well
ahead,
so
I
think
we
do
have
opportunities
or
realistically,
we
can
sort
of
estimate.
What's
what
other
income
that
we
have
in
the
future
so
because
I
see
the
The
Grow
Home
in
town
homes
are
up
already
and
I
think
they're
advertising
to
sell
it.
A
C
N
Go
ahead,
thank
you.
Just
really
quick,
so
I've
got
a
kind
of
a
running
tally
on
the
things
that
we've
the
grants
and
the
fee
waivers.
So
sister
cities
were
at
142
2000.
It's
actually
over
free
facility
use
minimal.
It's
four
thousand
dollars.
Festival
fee
waivers
doesn't
anticipate
the
Ikebana
show.
That's
a
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
seven
hundred
and
ten
Community
grants
we're
at
32
500.
N
A
You
so
maybe
one
of
the
directions
that
I
prefer
is
do
we
want
to
even
put
that
into
a
consideration
that
that
could
be
a
council
decision
too
a
strong.
Do
we
really
want
to
get
in
dick
into
the
details
on
the
pay
store,
Society
assisted
City
contract
while
we're
doing
this
budget,
so
I
think
I
would
like
to
have
that
option
too.
Now
that
we're
not
going
to
look
at
it
yeah,
so
that's
that
would
I
would
like
to
have
the
option
too.
Okay.
So
it's
more
options.
It's
better.
O
Yeah
I
agree:
more
option
is
better
and
the
way
that
I've
seen
other
city
do
it
when
doing
party
cut
is.
Maybe
here
is
our
86
million
dollar
X6
86
million
dollar
budget
option
and
then
propose
here
are
additional
things.
We
could
do
to
reach
80
million
dollar
budgets
that
we
have
complete
balance
without
dipping
into
general
fund.
So
then
options
then
the
council
can
decide
that
would
really
help
us.
Thank.
A
A
A
Alrighty,
it's
801
we're
going
to
resume
the
city
council
meeting
first
I'd
like
to
thank
City
manageru
and
our
wonderful
staff
for
putting
together
real
quickly
what
a
council
would
like
to
see
and
discuss
further
and
get
a
strong
vote
on
Via,
clear
directions
for
a
staff
to
come
up
with
a
budget
proposal
next
meeting:
June
6.
right.
Okay,
thank
you.
Please
proceed
to
you
manual.
Thank.
C
You
mayor
way,
so
thank
you
for
the
feedback
council
members
and
we
in
reviewing
my
notes
and
compare
that
with
my
team.
We
noted
a
total
of
nine
recommendations
coming
from
all
accounts,
council
members
and
several
a
follow-up
that
we
will
provide
and
just
to
note
that
we
will
have
additional
information
following
the
questions
that
were
unanswered
today
in
the
packet
that
will
be
released
for
the
June
6
council
meeting.
So
you'll
find
supplemental
information
as
part
of
that,
and
that
should
be
able
to
answer
most
of
your
questions
from
today.
C
In
addition,
when
we
come
back
for
June
6,
the
final
adoption
will
incorporate
the
direction
from
Council
right
now,
based
on
the
suggestions
that
were
outlined
without
further
Ado.
So
Thomas
is
going
to
try
to
figure
out
a
way
to
put
the
list
of
night
asks
on
the
screen
so
for
Council
to
take
a
strong
vote,
so
I
could
walk
counsel
through
individually.
The
first
ask
was
to
restore
the
full
community
funding
to
the
proposed
budget
of
32
500
mayor.
If
you
want
to
conduct
a
vote.
A
A
A
A
A
O
G
O
C
P
A
C
A
C
C
A
C
O
N
O
C
A
A
A
Y
C
Point
of
clarification.
No
excuse
me
so
point
of
clarification,
I
think
when
this
nomination
was
made
by
council
member
Chao,
there
was
a
misunderstanding
that
the
event
itself
is
going
away.
The
event
itself
is
not
going
away.
The
clarification
is
that
the
staff
was
only
proposing
to
eliminate
the
food
costs
associated
with
the
event
I.
P
D
C
C
So
since
this
involves
a
lot
of
Staff
time,
so
what
we
can
do
is
to
provide
a
rough
estimate
about
ten
thousand
dollars
that
is
associated
with
the
event
and
roughly
five
or
six
or
seven
full-time
employees
to
support
this
event
and
I
can
give
you
a
dollar
a
total
dollar
amount.
However,
I
could
give
you
what
was
been
asked
by
council
member
fruen
earlier
an
average
cost
for
one
step
position,
which
is
equate
to
186
thousand
dollars
per
one
position.
O
C
O
N
Through
the
mayor,
I'd
like
to
make
a
comment,
so
if
we
look
at
this
the
development
Revenue
estimate
there
are
a
number
of
projects,
and
perhaps
staff
could
just
provide
us
offline
memo,
because
each
one
of
these
projects
has
to
either
provide
art
or
do
the
in
lieu
of
fee,
so
that
we're
looking
at
Apple
vp1,
we'll
have
to
bring
art
to
the
community.
Canyon
Crossing
will
Alan
Rowe.
N
We
already
have
seen
their
rendering
for
their
sculpture,
which
they're
providing
Marina
Plaza
will
provide
our
Westport
Hampton
stanza
Hotel,
Cupertino,
Village
Valco,
all
of
these
projects
and
there's
actually
a
really
good
dispersal
throughout
the
city.
So
these
we
are
going
to
have
a
number
of
art
projects
and
if
there
is
going
to
be
a
little
offline
memo,
the
the
dollar
amount
can
be
estimated
because
you've
already
estimated
the
value
of
these
of
these
projects.
N
C
A
O
Question
in
terms
of
scope,
I
think
bobatino
last
year
or
year
was
especially
comprehensive.
It
was
not
like
that
it
was.
It
used
to
be
just
in
One
Cupertino
room
in
Queensland,
Center
and
pretty
small
in
scope,
so
it
I
think
the
scope
determines
how
much
it
costs,
but
this
is
award-winning
event
that
has
been
a
team
favorite
so
compared
with
Community
funding,
say
if
we're
adding
8,
000
and
now
yeah,
so
it's
possible
to
reduce
the
scope.
I
guess
that's
a
question
so.
N
J
J
G
J
O
J
N
A
O
O
C
A
J
Yes,
the
movies
are
well
attended.
Our
only
philosophy
in
deciding
we
were
gonna
go
with
concerts
this
year.
Instead
of
movies
was
the
Staffing.
There
is
a
movie
screen
that
has
to
be
put
up,
there's
a
sound
system
that
has
to
be
put
up.
There's
generators
that
have
to
come
out
if
we
do
the
movies,
so
really
it
was
more
of
a
one-
is
more
fiscally
responsible
than
the
other.
However,
yes,
they
are
popular
events.
O
Okay,
mayor
so
I
believe
the
age
bracket.
The
events
serve
are
very
different.
I
took
my
kids
to
movies
in
the
park.
They
are
in
college
now,
but
I
went
when
they
we
had
that
you
sit
on
the
park
ground.
So
it's
a
smaller
kit
that
we
serve
but
concerts
serve
an
older
population
or
seniors.
Little
kids
usually
won't
be
attending
concerts.
Well,.
J

Recommendations,
extra
funding,
I
have
a
question:
are
we
going
to
be
looking
at,
perhaps
any
of
the
the
fee
waivers?
There
was
one
mention
of
like
one
one
entity
getting
a
couple
of
fee
waivers,
so
I'm
just
trying
to
look
at.
Do
we
have
some?
Do
we
have
some
Pocket
Change?
We
can
pick
up
in
order
to
keep
a
popular
event.
That's
three
thousand
dollars
plus
staff
time
Council.
M
P
G
O
J
N
And
so
I
did
notice
that
the
the
facility
rentals
actually
ended
up
being
a
deficit
and
that
the
when
we
go
over
the
fees
for
rentals,
it
should
improve
that
situation
and
I'm
going
to
assume
that
it
will
not
reach
actual.
Will
we
always
be
behind
on
what
we're
charging
for
the
facility
rentals
for
room
rentals
at
like
at
Quinlan.
N
A
C
C
N
Seems
like
we're
putting
all
of
that
reduction
right
up
front
as
opposed
to
it.
Looked
like
we
had
14
that
were
un
unfilled
positions
right
now
and
then
we're
moving
slowly
at
a
nice
moderate
Pace
to
15
more
for
a
total
of
29..
Is
that
right
and-
and
this
proposal
seems
to
slam
all
that
right
onto
this
year
and
that
that
frightens
me
so.
E
N
E
O
After
the
city
added
the
22
positions
last
year,
the
city
was
planning
to
add
another
15
positions
and
so
I'm.
What
I'm
trying
to
wrap
my
head
around
is
the
year
before
we
had
22
less
positions,
so
I'm
not
really
asking
that.
Okay,
we
should
just
cut
another
14
I'm
asking
is:
where
are
these
22
positions
that
we
didn't
need
before
and
now
they
are
essential.
So
what
I
need
more
I
think
I
need
more
visibility
on.
O
Where
are
these
purposes?
They
are
serving
that
wasn't
essential
one
year
ago,
and
now
they
are
essential.
What
are
we
doing
now,
where
we're
not
doing
a
year
or
more
before
so
the
small
piece?
It's
not
just
numbered
more
visibility.
On
on,
like
council
member
Mohan
said
everyone
serve
a
purpose,
have
a
value
so
I
without
knowing
that
it's
hard,
even
for
me
to
say,
yeah
I
want
to
reduce
14.
I,
don't
know
so.
A
O
C
Thank
you
through
the
mayor,
so
we
have
proposed
a
detailed
table
showing
the
14
position.
That's
in
the
proposed
budget
right
now
where
they
are
in
each
of
the
department
and
like
council
member
Moore
mentioned,
we
are
proposing
to
cut
additional
positions
through
the
next
10
years
to
a
total
of
45
positions
that
will
be
cut
by
the
end
of
year
10..
So
last
year's
budget
was
built
upon
the
total
amount
based
on
the
operation
needs
that
was
according
to
the
budget.
Some
of
those
positions
had
actually
have
been
filled.
C
M
G
O
O
C
Through
the
mayor,
I,
don't
believe
that
is
the
recommendation
on
the
table.
So
what
I'm
hearing
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
what
I'm
hearing
from
you
is,
you
would
like
to
withdraw
your
recommendation
on
removing
the
14
to
a
cut
additional
14
positions
in
lieu
of
that,
as
suggested
by
council.
Member
fluent
will
provide
a
informational
memo
on
where
the
vacancies
are
and
what
positions
there
are.
O
And
also
I
think,
like
I,
said
earlier,
that
I
would
like
options
that
in
case
we
would
like
to
see
more
instead
of
in
addition
to
the
14
proposed,
let's
say
20.,
let's
say
25
what
positions
could
be
considered
and
so
that
we
can
evaluate
the
impact
so
43
or
34
positions,
that's
vacant
and
which
ones
could
be
non-essential
for
consideration.
These
are
all
unfilled
position
right
now,.
C
U
C
Currently,
what
I
have
noted
is
a
additional
eight
thousand
dollars
to
a
three
thousand
dollar
eight
thousand
dollars
for
the
community
funding,
in
addition
to
three
thousand
dollars
from
movies
in
the
park
and
six
part-time
employee,
roughly
you're,
looking
at
maybe
10
to
25
000,
which
will
not
equate
to
any
full-time
position.
As
we
averaged
out,
the
full-time
Position
will
be
186
thousand
dollars.
That
will
be
additional
withdrawal
from
the
Reserve.
If
that's
council's
discretion,.
A
N
N
Maintenance
is
the
39
000
for
the
for
the
38
or
39
000
for
the
fish
tank
and
the
rest
of
it
is
a
pass
through
to
the
Joint
Powers
Authority
for
the
Santa
Clara
Library
District
and
the
other
option
would
be
to
see
checking
our
actuals
if
there's
something
within
Library
services.
So
I
know
that
this
past
year
we
had
budgeted
for
the
600
000,
but
this
joint
Powers
Authority
had
enough
funds
to
completely
covered
our
cover,
our
extra
the
extra
12
Library
hours
that
it
would
be
open.
N
So
if
we
could
look
at
an
option
C
to
see
if
there
are
places
in
the
budget
that
perhaps
could
be,
maybe
they
can
be
tightened
up
and
we
could
get
that
funding
another
way
rather
than
because
these
are.
These
are
pretty
pretty
difficult
choices
here.
The
fund
balance
versus
reduction
in
staff,
so
I'm
not
really
liking
the
reduction
in
staff
and
I'm,
just
hoping
that
there's
that
we
can
look
look
a
little
harder
on
the
Library
part
instead,
pseudomir.
C
D
A
A
P
You
know
a
comment
was
made
about
creative
ways
to
fund
different
things
and
I'm,
assuming
that,
regardless
of
whether
we
approve
that
or
not,
staff
will
be
looking
at
creative
ways
to
make
this
whole
thing
work,
so,
in
my
mind,
I,
don't
think
we
need
a
c
which
says
look
for
creative
ways:
I'm
I'm,
assuming
that
that's
being
done
anyway.
Okay,
councilmember.
A
A
N
M
I
was
just
going
to
suggest
that
we
could
probably
compromise
on
this.
We,
you
know
I,
think
that
the
the
point
is
well
taken
that
there
may
be
other
places
where
we
can
get
this
relatively
small
amount
of
money
before
going
to
the
general
fund.
I
just
want
us
to
have
a
clear
line
of
thought
on
where
we're
going
to
head
with
it.
So
if
they're
not
able
to
find
these
monies
somewhere
else,
then
fine
go
with
the
general
fund,
that's
more
or
less
what
I'm
thinking.
O
In
terms
of
accounting,
I
think
we
are
expecting
that
the
39
and
field
positions
won't
be
filled
the
first
month
or
the
second
month,
or
the
third
month
was
so
when
they
are
not
filled
the
city,
even
though
it
budgeted
for
those
positions.
We
are
not
paying
those
salaries
so
likely.
Those
are
those
are
extra
dollars.
So.
C
That
is
not
even
in
the
budget
right
so
through
the
mayor.
I
think
what
the
council
member
Chow
is
alluding
to
is
that
there
will
be
salary
saving
from
those
unfilled
positions
and
they're.
Absolutely
right
and
again.
This
is
where
director,
if
I
was
going
to
get
mad
at
me.
We
can't
quite
mix
funding
like
that,
but
this
is
where
the
creativity
comes
in.
So
what
I'm
hearing
is
that
there
is
a
potential
of
option
C,
which
is
to
look
for
ways
to
cover
for
the
additional
funding
but
best
option.
C
A
So
on
reserve,
actually,
my
preference
is
just
decide
what
we're
going
to
do
now
and
then
instruct
the
staff
to
look
for
more
creative
ways
to
do
funding
not
contingent
upon
this.
I
I
prefer
clean
proposals,
so
I
I
would
prefer
let's
vote
on
a
or
b
and
then,
if
it's
a
and
then
also
another
items,
instruct
our
staff
to
look
for
creative
financing
that
that
will
be
my
preference.
But
it's
up
to
my
fellow
console
members
to
decide.
So
can
we
put
that
back
up
the
yeah
sorry?
A
So
what
I
would
like
prefer
is
to
just
get
a
done
number,
eight,
A
or
B
and
then
go
back
to
more
proposals.
You
know
staff
go
get
more
creative
financing
to
cover
this,
but
not
contingent
about
getting
creative
financing
I'd
like
to
not
mix
those
up.
So
that
will
be
my
proposal.
So
I
agree
it
councilman!
No
more!
You
go
first,
okay,.
N
Even
though
we've
been
budgeting
for
it
since
then,
and
so
last
year
we
had
the
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
the
budget
for
the
extra
hours
and
now
we're
down
to
around
300
and
something
thousand
dollars
for
the
for
the
extra
Library
hours,
and
so
that
we
have.
We
didn't
actually
pull
that
money
last
year
and
because
we
didn't
need
to,
we
got
the
The
Joint
Powers
Authority
covered
it
and
then
on
the
other
side
is
the
library
maintenance
and
there
the
contract
is
it's
actually
thirty.
N
Six
thousand
dollars
for
the
fish
tank
contract
and
the
joint
Powers
Authority
agreement
in
the
budget
is
budget
number
20
or
agreement
number
21-057,
the
the
maintenance
of
the
building
and
the
janitorial
services
get
those
bills
go
to
the
the
library
district
and
they
cover
maintenance.
It's
part
of
the
contract
that
we
have
here,
so
it's
showing
the
88
000
and
employee
compensation
and
benefits
in
there
as
well.
However,
that's
actually
a
pass-through,
so
I
I
still
stick
with
the
option.
C
be
creative.
N
There
might
be
some
other
place
within
the
budget
and
then,
if
not
go
to
the
general
fund
balance,
but
I
don't
want
to
see
it
done
the
other
way,
because
I'd
rather
see
this
scrutiny
on
the
budget
happen
before,
because
when
June
six
I
guess
rolls
around
round
we're
going
to
be
pushing
through
this
a
lot
of
material
really
quickly,
and
this
will
go
by
the
wayside.
Thank
you.
Peace.
O
A
I
think
council
member
Moore
made
it
very
clear
and
that
she
would
like
to
have
us
never
see
on
it
to
explore
the
library
budget
issues
and
bring
more
creative
funding.
So
that's
a
c
on
the
on
on
attitude.
A
and
I
I
still
prefer,
because
it
could
be
more
than
twenty
five
thousand
dollars.
What
we're
going
to
do,
I
prefer
a
clean
one
and
then
add
another
item
to
explore
and
and
add
it
and
bring
it
back
on
June
6th.
Instead
of
that,
that's
my
preference,
but
now
we
have
a
b
and
c.
G
O
A
O
O
E
F
The
mayor,
yes,
there
seems,
seems
to
be
great
interest
in
exploring
the
budget
for
the
library
as
a
source
of
10
or
25
000.
So
why
don't
we
take
that
back
as
what
I'm
hearing
as
consensus
from
the
from
the
from
the
Deus
do
that
exploration
and
bring
back
a
recommendation
on
June
6
with
that,
as
our
primary
focus.
N
I
think
he's
saying
he's
going
to
look
into
the
contract
services
for
this,
the
extra
Library
hours
and
perhaps
the
the
maintenance
and
janitorial
pass-through
for
the
for
that
other
part
for
the
library
as
well,
because
that's
another
issue,
that's
being
covered
by
the
the
contract
that
the
joint
Powers
Authority
pays.
For.
That.
F
A
So
I
really
want
to
emphasize
Christina
apara
says
we
usually
very
conservative
budgeting
usually
have
more
money
left
than
you
know,
so
this
could
be
one
of
the
items
so
I'm
comfortable,
just
using
the
a
just
general
fund
for
this
item,
ending
Explore
More.
So
let's
just
take
a
strong
vote.
I
think
we
have
a
b
and
c
still
so
councilmember
Moore
your
choice.
G
A
C
O
A
C
Mayor
very
great
questions
that
we
will
not
and-
and
the
other
point
I
want
to
emphasize-
that
again
this
is
a
planning
exercise
for
our
next
year's
budget
as
daunting
as
the
catfa
result
may
be.
Maybe
we
will
get
lucky,
so
we
really
don't
know
what
may
happen
in
the
next
10
years.
This
is
our
worst
case
scenario
planning
exercise,
so
we
will
not
know
which
positions
will
be
crucial
and
essential
to
keep
the
city
operation
going,
not
knowing
what
Revenue
that
the
city
may
be
bringing
we
may
not
need
to
cut
additional.
C
However,
what
we're
wanting
to
focus
is
year
one
we
want
to
get
to
a
balanced
budget
for
fiscal
year
23
to
24,
and
we
believe
that
with
additional
14
position
that
has
been
proposed
to
eliminate
that
will
get
us
through
year,
one
and
as
Christina
mentioned,
that
we
will
bring
a
quarterly
update
to
council
every
quarter,
starting
in
November
every
quarter
to
to
True
up
the
numbers,
so
that
Council
has
more
visibility
and
more
transparency
on
what
really
is
happening
on
the
ground.
So
you
can
make
adjustment
then.
N
D
N
N
O
So
I
understand
this:
the
Staffing
challenges
so
but
I
think
we
are
looking
at
a
budget
and
we
are
dipping
into
general
fund
for
six
million
dollars.
So
whatever
information,
the
staff
will
be
able
to
provide
on
with
the
amount
of
time
you
have
will
be
appreciated
and
we
did
add
22
positions
last
year,
but
I
don't
remember
in
a
budget
when
we
approved
budget
I
didn't
remember.
We
approved
that
many
positions
so
I'm
really
curious.
What
are
those
22
positions
we
did
at
last
year
and
the
year
before.
A
O
Y
A
I
I
do
have
a
question
because
I
think
June
6
when
the
purpose
budget
come
back.
I
would
like
to
clarify.
This
is
not
going
to
be
part
of
the
discussion
because
I'm
happy
with
the
10-year
reduction
and
the
first
quarter
adjustment
in
a
second,
so
I
am
afraid
that
could
be
a
information
I
can
if
the
council
wants
at
that
time
it
could
be
a
information
item
but
not
to
be
included
in
the
decision
of
the
budget
proposal.
That's
my
question.
C
O
Case
I
am
still
requesting
a
strong
vote
on
beyond
the
information.
We
should
consider
options
for
potentially
more
Staffing
cut
and
their
impact
and
expenditures.
I
think
we
have
heard
from
multiple
community
members
asking
why
we
didn't
cut
more
I.
Think
when
do
need
to
put
that
option,
there
doesn't
mean
we
will
do
it,
but
that
option
should
be
there
on
the
June
6th.
So
we
have
visibility.
Maybe
we
then
will
see
there
is
no
need.
That's
fine,
but
at
least
the
community
needs
to
know.
A
M
C
N
D
A
M
N
M
A
P
Know
our
agenda
for
today
is
to
balance
the
next
year's
budget
and
if
we
can
balance
it
with
14
vacant
positions,
I
think
we
should
leave
it
at
that.
With
the
caveat
that
as
vacancies
developed
during
the
course
of
the
year,
we
have
these
quarterly
reports
that
that
come
before
us
that
that's
some,
that
we
can
look
at
further
Cuts,
if
necessary
at
that
point.
But
since
our
charge
today
is
to
balance
the
budget,
let's
not
leave
too
many
things
sort
of
up
in
the
air
or
ambiguous.
A
P
O
A
N
Through
the
mayor,
I
was
trying
to
see
if
it
could
be
modified
to
be
one
or
two,
but
it's
still
staying
one.
Two
four
six
eight,
which
I
won't
support
I,
can
support
one
or
two
and
then
as
and
then
and
then
I
get
I
mean
what
I
would
want
to
do
is
get
some
feedback
after
the
the
first
quarter
has
ended
and
see
how
this
all
of
these
Cuts,
how
it,
how
things
are
working
out
and
look
at
it
mid-year
and
then
moving
forward,
make
adjustments
did.
A
O
O
A
N

A

So
it's
not
really
a
proposal,
it's
more
of
a
sort
of
a
final
set
of
comments,
a
thank
you
to
staff
for
sitting
through
this
with
us
getting
through
it
and
in
particular,
to
to
CDD
for
preparing
the
the
desk
item
on
development.
Revenue
estimates
I
think
it
is
really
useful.
I
think
it's
also
a
sort
of
hopeful
symbol,
so
I
would
encourage
members
of
the
public
to
take
a
look
at
it.
It's
in
the
supplemental
documents
for
today's
agenda.
M
One
of
the
things
I'll
point
to
in
particular
is
the
total
ongoing
Revenue
that
it
projects-
and
this
was
a
conservative
estimate
based
upon
what
staff
was
telling
us
at
a
little
over
six
million
dollars,
and
if
you
compare
that
to
where
we
were
expected
to
be
in
fiscal
year,
2033,
our
structural
deficit
would
be
5.2
million
dollars.
If
we
don't
take
this
into
account,
so
we
would
be
back
in
the
black
at
that
point.
M
I
think
it's
also
safe
to
assume
that
this
is
not
the
only
thing
that
will
get
developed
during
that
period
of
time.
We
have
the
housing
element
to
go
through.
There
should
be
other
things
that
come
along
and
I'd
also
know.
You
know
in
in
underscoring
the
conservative
nature
of
the
estimates.
If
you
go
back
to
Falco,
Parkway
won
the
new
Apple
building
that
would
be
built
there.
The
estimate
on
property
tax
increase
here
is
79
000.
In
the
first
year,
Apple
provided
an
estimate
of
their
own
at
160
000.
M
N
Okay,
thank
you.
I
want
to
thank
staff
and
the
city
manager
for
having
this
the
suggestion
to
do
these.
The
budget
one-on-one
meetings
this
as
the
first
time
we've
gone
through
and
had
this
opportunity
to
have
all
of
the
department
heads
to
ask
the
questions,
and
so
I
really
appreciated
that.
Thank
you
for
getting
the
budget
book
out.
I
was
here
at
five
in
the
morning
to
pick
mine
up
on
Saturday
for
my
Monday
meeting
with
it
tapped.
So
it
was.
N
N
P
Thank
you
to
the
staff
I've
done
this
many
times
in
my
life
and
I.
Have
nightmares
of
spending
nights
in
in
City
part
partitions
with
carrying
sleeping
bags
wherever
I
go
so
I
hope
you
didn't
have
to
do
that
and
if
you
do,
my
sympathies
yeah.
So
the
study
sessions
were
extremely
helpful,
especially
for
someone
like
me
got
a
lot
of
my
questions
answered
so
made
the
process
really
simple.
P
I
also
wanted
to
thank
the
public
who
participated
in
the
budget
service.
It
just
seemed
like
a
huge
task
and
I
think
I
mentioned
it
to
the
city
manager
that
I
hadn't
encountered
anything
like
this
before.
So
it's
a
valuable
exercise
and
I'd
like
the
public
to
know
that
all
of
us
I'm
sure,
read
all
the
comments
and
if
we
didn't
take
every
single
suggestion
they
made
into
account
to
balance
this
budget.
It's
not
because
we
didn't
read
it
or
we
didn't.
P
O
Thank
you
for
a
very
well
organized
presentation
on
every
Department
to
really
have
tried
hard
to
reduce
within
the
department
and
propose
the
options
and
very
thoughtful
for
proposals,
and
that
that's
really
and
really
appreciate
that,
and
then
the
prep
session
was
very
informative
and
seems
still
not
enough
time
because
there
are,
the
budget
is
still
complete
complex.
However,
the
staff
also
provided
a
very,
very
good
information
on
the
website
and
I.
O
Think
I
mentioned
in
the
meeting
that
the
web
page
on
cttft
is
very
clear,
the
the
timeline
and
then
what
information
City
know
and
they're.
So
thank
you
for
not
only
the
material
here,
but
also
the
the
material
online,
the
budget
page
and
the
Open
golf
page,
I
think
yeah.
So
thank
you
for
all
the
all
the
department
heads
for
staying
with
us
and
just
amazing
work.
Thank
you.
A
So
I
think
there's
enough
thank
for
the
staff.
We
really
appreciated
the
one
on
my
really
helped,
but
I
really
want
to
thank
our
public
and
our
council
members
I
find
our
council
members.
We
have
different
perspectives,
but
the
detail-oriented,
and
then
you
know
we're
to
look
for
more
money.
Council
member

mayor

all.
The
compliments
I
want
to
kind
of
emphasize
that
our
appreciation
towards

your
time
with
us
to
prep
for
the
budget.
It's
not
easy
and
I
totally
get
that,
and
we
appreciate
the
time
today
and
the
valuable
feedback
that
we'll
incorporate
into
the
budget
and

Mary

alluded
to.
This
is
not
the
end
of
it.
So
