CITY OF MOUNTAIN VIEW
MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 20, 2007
TO: City Council
FROM: Kevin C. Duggan, City Manager
Cathy R. Lazarus, Public Works Director
Michael A. Fuller, Capital Projects Engineer
SUBJECT: ADOPTED 2007-OS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
INTRODUCTION
THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PLANNING CYCLE
The Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) establishes the blueprint for
investment in facilities, infrastructure and major studies. The plan was adopted by the
City Council on June 5, 2007 after review at Study Sessions on April 17 and May 15,
2007. Funding for the Fiscal Year 2007-08 projects was approved with the Operating
Budget on June 12, 2007.
In 2005, the City Council established a two-year CIP cycle as a streamlining measure to
reduce the amount of City Council and staff time allocated to the development and
approval of the CIP. Fiscal Year 2007-08 is the second year of the planning cycle and the
focus is on City Council review, refinement and funding of projects that "roll forward"
into the current year. The City Council also considers CIP adjustments or amendments
to projects that fall into the following categories:
• New City Council projects or initiatives.
• Required budget adjustments to active projects.
• Urgent projects to repair or replace broken infrastructure.
• New projects required to comply with health/safety or other regulatory mandates
or projects that result in substantial operational savings.

CONTEXT FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT DECISION-MAKING
Fiscal Year 2006-07 saw the completion of many important projects, including the
Senior Center, Graham Sports Complex and Reservoir, Shoreline Sailing Lake Water
Supply, Devonshire Park, Shoreline Boulevard Reconstruction and the California/
Bryant Parking Structure. Construction of Stevens Creek Trail from Yuba Drive
through El Camino Real is under way, a contract was recently awarded to construct the
new Shoreline Maintenance Facility, and plans for Sierra Vista Park and the Child-Care
Center have been approved. Library technology and space improvements are under
way, as are the Water and Sewer Master Plans that will set the stage for future capital
and operational improvements to those critical infrastructure systems. .
All of these projects advanced in a time of unprecedented inflation in the cost of raw
materials and construction. Between December 2003 and December 2006, the
Engineering News Record's Building Cost Index for the San Francisco Bay Area reflects an
approximately 22 percent increase in building construction costs. During the same
period, the cost of asphalt concrete street overlay rose more than 50 percent, as did the
cost of reinforcing steel.
Mountain View capital improvement projects are not immune from the global market-
place. Preconstruction cost estimates and actual construction bids for City projects last
year consistently exceeded approved budgets by a large margin. The situation is
compounded in the Bay Area, where both private and public construction activity
increased after dipping in the early years of the decade. This activity is reflected in a
less competitive bidding climate where fewer contractors are bidding on public projects
because they are overcommitted with work.
Inflation in the construction industry has also eroded the City's buying power in
implementing infrastructure preventive maintenance, repair and replacement projects.
With increases in the cost of asphalt in recent years, there has been a corresponding
reduction in the amount of street that can be resurfaced with a fixed amount of funding.
Staff continues to evaluate the impact of increased costs on infrastructure maintenance
and will recommend increases in some project budgets this year and next.
While the City's various funding sources to allocate to capital projects are robust for the
near term, continued inflation means it will cost more to implement the full array of
projects in the City's capital program. For example, this year, an additional $3.3 million
was added to the budgets of trail and pedestrian overcrossing projects previously
programmed in the CIP.
�
� :'
The City Council also discussed whether or not it is prudent to begin to set aside funds �
for future unfunded facility needs, such as replacement of Fire Station 3, a new �

Building. The City Council expressed interest in scheduling a Study Session to further

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
�„ The CIP groups projects into three categories:
�
• Amendments to Active Projects (approved projects that require funding and/or
� scope adjustment).
�
• Infrastructure Maintenance, Studies and Technology (large annual projects to
�"` respond to nonroutine infrastructure problems, special studies that can be
"" generally accomplished within one year and technology upgrades).
�
�
Capital Improvement Projects (all capital projects, including those which are either
longer than one year in duration or are not specifically maintenance-related).
�
� The following provides information about active projects that required direction from
Council regarding project scope, active projects that were amended for scope or budget,
'� and new projects approved for 2007-08:

Total: $5,400,000
The Child-Care Center design is complete and an addition of $1,900,000 was
approved to fully fund the project. Factors affecting project cost include an '�'
increase in the size of the building to meet licensing requirements, challenges �
associated with working around existing oak trees, providing a play area that the
public can use after hours and design treatment to make the building "�
architecturally compatible with the new Senior Center and senior day-health "�
facility. „�
• Downtown Revitalization Bond Improvements, Project 06-37 �
�
Fundin� Source ,�
Current Funding: $901,000 Downtown Revitalization Bonds
The Revitalization Authority bond issued in 2003 set aside approximately
$1 million for downtown capital improvements. Council appropriated
$96,000 from these funds for the Castro Street Tree Replacement, Project 05-43,
leaving a remaining balance of $901,000.
The approved project will include a new and expanded recycling enclosure in the �
100 block of downtown and development of a new sign program for downtown. '"�

• Fire Station No. 5, Design, Project 03-23
�'" Funding Source
„w Current Funding: $500,000 Shoreline Community
Proposed Additional Funding: To be determined
�
The design of Fire Station No. 5, Project 03-23, was reactivated by the City Council
in 2006. Prior to beginning design, a preliminary analysis was conducted to deter-
'"" mine if a vacant parcel adjacent to the VTA North Yard bus maintenance facility
,,, at Shoreline Boulevard and La Avenida might be a better permanent location for
�
the station. A discussion of that analysis is provided in Appendix 4. Based on
preliminary review, it was determined that an alternative location will not be
� pursued and design for the permanent facility will proceed at the original location
�,,, at the corner of Shoreline Boulevard and Crittenden Lane.
Amendments to Active Projects

With design 90 percent complete, recent cost estimates identify the need for addi-
tional funding. Factors that impact the anticipated construction cost include
geometric changes to satisfy Caltrans and design changes prompted by the soils
investigation. Additional funding is also for services from the designer during
construction and staff time. More information is available in Appendix 5.

Current Funding: $270,000 Construction/Conveyance Tax
Additional Funding: 100,000 Construction/Conveyance Tax
�
�.�
�
Total $370,000 *�
Additional funding for the Eagle Pool Replastering and Repairs was required
because:
— The original budget for replastering Eagle Pool was low based on experience
with the recently completed Rengstorff Pool replastering.
— Additional repair work needed to correct cracked pool decking discovered
during design, adding to the project scope and cost.
— Stairs for disabled access to the pool are required to replace the existing stairs
which are at the end of their useful life and are not ADA compliant.

Working with Caltrans and PG&E on the current reach of Stevens Creek Trail
(Yuba Drive to El Camino Real) has proven extremely challenging and required
more designer and staff time than anticipated. Additional funding was approved
for both designer and staff time to design the trail from El Camino Real to
Dale/Heatherstone. These next two reaches of trail pose many of the same
challenges as the current reach, with an overcrossing of Highway 85 and
improvements around PG&E's high-voltage transmission towers. More

City street lane lines, legends, crosswalks and curbs are repainted each year for
�" safety purposes. The 2006-07 annual project has a budget of $270,000. The
'•' 2007-08 project budget is $320,000. The increase will cover an anticipated rise in
,� unit costs and also fund striping the downtown City-owned parking lots, which
are restriped every eight years. The project will also continue converting some
'� lane lines from paint to thermoplastic striping, which costs about six times more
.� than conventional paint but lasts seven years or more. Over time, the base annual
wr�
striping budget could be reduced as more lines and markings are converted to
thermoplastic.

`"�"' CIP Fundin� Assum�tions
Funding sources for capital improvement projects range from restricted funds, that can
�� finance only specific types of projects (Water, Sewer and Solid Waste Funds, Shoreline
�•• Community Fund, Park Land Dedication In-Lieu fees and gas tax), to unrestricted
� funds, that can be used on any type of project (Capital Improvement Reserve and
Construction/Real Property Conveyance Tax).

�. The Capital Improvement Reserve is typically funded by the General Fund carryover
balance. This reserve is considered "general fund" by the State of California and is the
'�" funding source for street maintenance that meets State "maintenance of effort"
� requirements, preserving the City's eligibility for Proposition 42 road funds.
The amount of unrestricted funds available for capital projects is the combined balance
`" of the Capital Improvement Reserve and Construction/Conveyance Tax Fund. The
�., Construction/Conveyance Tax Fund revenues are derived from fees assessed on
construction of buildings and when real property ownership transfer occurs. The City
�' Charter specifies that Construction/Conveyance Tax funds be used for implementation
�- of the CIP. Typically, the annual contribution from each source varies according the
,�., economic climate and how robust the General Fund carryover is anticipated to be. In
Fiscal Year 2002-03, during the economic downturn, no carryover funds were
�'" transferred into the Capital Improvement Reserve.
�.
For the current four-year capital planning horizon, the first year of the plan, Fiscal
"" Year 2007-08, projects a$3.0 million transfer from the General Fund carryover to the
"'�' Capital Improvement Reserve, bringing the available balance to $9.5 million. An
„�, infusion of $2.8 million from the Construction/Conveyance Tax is projected, increasing
the fund balance to $10.5 million. The total amount of unrestricted funds available for
� projects in Fiscal Year 2007-08 is approximately $20.1 million.

In each of the three outer years of the plan, a$1.5 million transfer from the General
Fund carryover balance to the Capital Improvement Reserve is conservatively projected
as is an annual infusion of $2.7 million for Fiscal Years 2007-08 and 2009-10 and
$2.6 million for Fiscal Year 2010-11 from the Construction/Conveyance Tax Fund. If all
of the proposed projects are funded over the plan horizon, the estimated fund balances
in 2011 will be $7.8 million in Capital Improvement Reserve Fund, well over the
$5.0 million policy reserve level and $3.7 million in the Construction/Conveyance Tax
Fund. With these conservative long-term assumptions, the City will have capacity,
though limited, to address unforeseen future capital needs.
The following are the assumptions used to forecast the amount of unrestricted funds
available for projects in the 2007-11 CIP:
Ca�ital Im�rovement Reserve
For Year 1 (2007-08�:
• Ending CIP Reserve balance (July 1, 2007)
• Estimated carryover to CIP Reserve
TOTAL
For Years 2 through 4(2007-11):
• Estimated carryover to CIP Reserve is $1,500,000 per year.
Construction/Convevance Tax
For Year 1 (2007-08):
• Ending Construction/Conveyance Tax balance (July 1, 2007)
• Estimated Construction/Conveyance Tax revenue
TOTAL
For Years 2 through 4(2008-11):
$6,553,000
3,000,000
$9,553,000
$ 7,725,000
2,800,000
$10,525,000
• Estimated 2007-11 Construction/Conveyance Tax revenue projections are
$2,700,000 per year for 2008/09 and 2009/10 and $2.6 million for 2010/11.

Attachment 1 shows the estimated CIP Reserve and Construction Conveyance Tax
funding, expenditures and ending balances for each year in the 2007-11 CIP. The blue
� columns represent the beginning unrestricted fund balances in each year, the red
.,, columns represent planned project expenditures and the yellow columns represent the
ending fund balances for each year. The horizontal blue line indicates the $5.0 million
"""' CIP reserve policy level. As shown, the CIP Reserve of $5.0 million is maintained in
� each of the four years, resulting in a balanced program. Staff will evaluate the revenue
�
assumptions in subsequent years and propose revisions to the plan as needed.

MEMORANDUM
'�"` TO: Cathy R. Lazarus, Public Works Director
�
FROM: Michael A. Fuller, Capital Projects Engineer
� SUBJECT: TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT PEDESTRIAN/BIKE
,,� IMPROVEMENTS, PROJECT 04-25
r.�
r' PURPOSE
The purpose of this memo is to outline a recommended project scope for the Transit-
Oriented Development Pedestrian/Bike Improvements, Project 04-25.
BACKGROUND
^^"' Transit-Oriented Deve].o��,TOD Pro�ram
�
�
r: �
In 1995, the City Council adopted a Transit (T) Overlay Zone District. This overlay zone
can be applied to properties with industrial and commercial zoning located within
2,000' of a rail transit station, are a minimum of five acres and which provide transit
improvements that facilitate the use of transit.
Under the T Zone, an applicant may apply for a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)
permit that allows projects to be developed at a 0.50 floor area ratio (FAR) instead of the
standard 0.35 FAR of the underlying ML Zone. In return, the developers must provide
transit-related projects and programs that are aimed at reducing single-occupant auto
commuting. The ordinance states that the projects must "facilitate pedestrian circula-
tion in the vicinity of the transit station in accordance with a bicycle/pedestrian plan to
ensure direct, safe and convenient pedestrian access to the transit station and, thereby,
help offset the potential traffic impacts of the greater floor area." The developer can
contribute money in lieu of building the transit-related projects. The amount is based
on $3 per square foot and is applied to the entire floor area on the parcel.
� The TOD permit for each development project contains the conditions of approval
�, requiring off-site transit-related projects. As the process of establishing these conditions
evolved, a master list of off-site improvements was developed. This list was developed
""" to give the City greater flexibility in selecting/combining projects from the list
„�, depending upon how much money had been colleeted at any point in time. The master
�
�

�
list is provided as Attachment 1. The TOD funds are collected during the building „�,�
permit process. Within five years of approval of the development project or permit
extension, the City or developer (upon mutual agreement) is required to complete the '�°'
construction of the off-site transit improvements. ..,�
The Current Project
A TOD permit was approved for the Sobrato (VeriSign) project at 575 East Middlefield �
Road on March 6, 2001 and extended on July 9, 2003. The developer was required to
provide $697,000, so the City can construct one or more items from the TOD master list "
of off-site improvements with priority given to the Middlefield Road medians. The �.
deadline for expenditure of the funds is July 9, 2008. While reviewing the �
2003-04 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), concern was expressed that the TOD
moneys from the VeriSign project should be spent on other transit-related ��
improvements, rather than the Middlefield Road medians, and Council requested �,,
alternatives for expenditure of these funds.
At a September 28, 2004 Study Session, staf# presented alternatives for expenditure of
the VeriSign TOD funds, including the original master list of improvements and some
new projects. Council input at the Study Session, summarized in the meeting minutes
provided as Attachment 2, was mixed. Some Councilmembers expressed support for
the Whisman Road landscaped median islands while some questioned whether the
medians are an appropriate use of the funds. Some favored installing sidewalks on
Whisman Road at Central Expressway (installed in 2006).
ANALYSIS
Staff recommends that Council include the midblock median refuges at Ellis Street and '"�`
Middlefield Road and the Whisman Road median islands between Middlefield Road +�
and Fairchild Drive in the scope of the project. Each are described further below:
Pedestrian Im�rovements at Ellis Street/Middlefield Road
Staff inet with a representative of VeriSign Corporation regarding expenditure of his �
company's TOD funds. He indicated that some employees expressed difficulty crossing `�`
the signalized intersection at Ellis Street and Middlefield Road on foot. Since that time, .�
a number of improvements have been made to the intersection, including countdown ��,
pedestrian signals, increasing the time allowed for pedestrians to cross the intersection,
dots in the intersection to help guide cars making left turns from Ellis Street to �
Middlefield Road and signs to warn drivers of pedestrians in the crosswalk. Additional ,;�;
improvements that would facilitate pedestrian circulation in and around the Ellis
Street/Middlefield Road intersections include an improved pedestrian refuge island on `"�

�
,�„ Middlefield Road and widening sidewalks around obstructions (streetlights, fire
hydrants, etc.) on the north side of Middlefield Road. These improvements are
�" recommended as part of the project at an estimated cost of $50,000.
�
�..
Whisman Road Landsca�ed Median Islands
"" The Whisman Road landscaped median islands are part of a reconfiguration of the
� Whisman Road cross-section included in the Whisman Area Plan (Plan) adopted by the
City Council on October 15,1997. The Plan envisions eliminating parking on the east
�` (industrial) side of the street and installing an 18' landscaped median island as a buffer
,.� between the residential area on the west side of Whisman Road and the industrial area
,,,,,,, on the east. Bike lanes would be widened. The proposed cross-section and relevant
excerpt from the Whisman Area Plan are provided as Attachment 3. ,
�,
,.. At the 2004 Study Session, some Councilmembers questioned the benefits of inedian
islands for pedestrians. The Whisman Road landscaped median islands are one of the
� original projects on the TOD master list of improvements because they benefit
`"" pedestrians in two ways. First, visually reducing the roadway width for drivers
�„�, reduces traffic speeds and facilitates safer pedestrian crossings. Second, the median
provides a midblock refuge for pedestrians that effectively shortens the crossing
`�" distance. Since adoption of the Whisman Area Plan, staff and the City Council have
�. received inquiries from residents inquiring about the status of the Whisman median
,� project. The most recent is provided as Attachment 4.
� The estimated cost of the median islands is $1,050,000, which, when combined with the
� Ellis Street/Middlefield Road intersection improvements, exceeds available project
funding by $400,000. If Council supports the recommended project scope, staff will
"" include the additional funding in the final CIP.

1VIASTER LIST OF OFF-SITE TRANSIT IMPROVEMENTS
The following is the original master list of off-site transit improvements. These
improvements include pedestrian, bicycle and street improvements that facilitate
pedestrians using the light rail. They are consistent with the bicycle/pedestrian plan
and median island concepts in the Whisman Area Plan that was adopted by the City
Council in December 1997. The project list has been updated to reflect current status
and estimated cost. A map showing the location of the projects is included as Exhibit 1.
Projects that are not yet funded:
1. Project: Whisman Road medians (not funded).
Description: Landscaped median islands on Whisman Road between Fairchild
Drive and Whisman Station Drive.
Estimated Project Cost: $1,700,000
Comments: This project is intended to facilitate pedestrian crossings of Whisman
Road, which is three to five lanes, and to slow (calm) traffic.
1A. Project: Whisman Road medians (not funded).
Descrivtion: Landscaped median islands on Whisman Road between Fairchild
Drive and Middlefield Road.
Estimated Project Cost: $1,050,000
Comments: This project is the same as No. 2, except the limits are reduced to
between Fairchild Drive and Middlefield Road.
2. Project: Middlefield Road medians (not funded).
Description: Landscaped median islands on Middlefield Road between existing
median islands near North Whisman Road and Ferguson Drive.
Estimated Project Cost: $500,000

� 3. Pro�ect: Pedestrian lighting for Light Rail Trail (not funded).
� Description: Pedestrian-level lighting, landscaping and upgraded fencing along
'�" the existing Light Rail Trail from the Pacific Drive railroad crossing to the northern
„�, boundary of the City-owned Municipal Operations Center (MOC). Staff
recommends that this project be completed with the extension of the trail as part of
� redevelopment of the Kalcic property.
..,
,;�„ Estimated Pro�ect Cost: $220,000
"" Comments: This portion of the Light Rail Trail currently dead-ends at the Kalcic
,,�► property that has not yet been developed. Under the approved Kalcic and Sobrato
development projects, the trail would cross their properties and connect to
"� Middlefield Road. While this project can be completed now, this portion of the
'�" Light Rail Trail will not be open until the trail is extended with development of
�,,, these properties.
'�" 4. Pro� ect: Extension of the pedestrian connection from the south side of the
.� Netscape/Mercury Interactive campus across 450 Middlefield Road (developer to
w„ install improvements).
�" Description: This easement, pedestrian path and related improvements complete
�. the pedestrian walkway extending from the north property line of the Netscape/
�
Mercury Interactive campus to Middlefield Road.
*� Estimated Project Cost: $280,000
� Comments: Whisman Associates obtained an easement across 450 Whisman Road
"" for this pathway. Staff anticipates that this pathway will be completed with a
,,,�, future development.
� 5. Proj ect: Pedestrian lighting on Stevens Creek Trail bridge over Central
� Expressway (not funded).
�
Description: Design and construction of pedestrian lighting on the existing
�'" Stevens Creek Trail bridge over Central Expressway.
�
�
Estimated Pro�ect Cost: $160,000
'�'' Comments: The purpose of this project is to provide nighttime pedestrian access
�„ across Central Expressway via the existing Stevens Creek Trail bridge. While the
bridge lighting can be completed, there is currently no nighttime pedestrian access
"" from the northerly side of the bridge to the adjacent neighborhood because there
,�, are no sidewalks on Central Expressway and Stevens Creek Trail is closed at night.
r�

According to the County-wide Comprehensive Expressway Planning Study, the
County has plans to install sidewalks along their expressways, but sidewalks on
this section of Central Expressway are not currently programmed or funded.
Installation of a sidewalk on Central Expressway west of the Stevens Creek Trail
bridge would likely require widening the Central Expressway bridge over Stevens
Creek.
Because of the lack of pedestrian access on the north side of the Stevens Creek Trail
bridge over Central Expressway, this master list project remains a low priority.
6. Project: Sculptures and direction signs at the entries to the publicly accessible
pedestrian and bicycle circulation system in the area to clarify that it is open to the
public and to make it more attractive to users.
Description: A more detailed description of this project has not been prepared.
Estimated Project Cost: Cost is dependent on scope.
7. Pro�ect: Other pedestrian, bicycle and transit-oriented public improvements,
including construction projects, bicycle lockers and other facilities, with first
priority given to projects in the Whisman Area and then to projects that are outside
of the area. All projects must enhance the light rail or Caltrain lines and/or
improve the City's bicycle and pedestrian system.
Completed or Funded Projects
8. Project: Hetch-Hetchy Trail (complete).
Description: A pedestrian/bicycle trail along the Hetch-Hetchy Right-of-Way
between Whisman Road and Easy Street, including a traffic signal on Whisman
Road.
9. Project: Ellis Street medians (complete).
Descri�tion: Landscaped median islands on Ellis Street between Fairchild Drive
and Middlefield Road.
10. Pr_ oject: Stevens Creek Trail (SCT) pedestrian/bike overcrossing at Moffett
Boulevard (funded from Shoreline Community and in design).

�,., 10.1—TRANSIT ZONE IMPROVEMENT FUNDS AND PROJECTS
"" The Deputy Zoning Administrator reported that the purpose of the study session
+�• is to provide background information on the off-site transit improvement funds
and projects, update the Master List of Off-Site Transit Improvements and gain
'"°" input regarding the assignment and prioritization of the VeriSign and Whisman
�+ Associates transit funds.
She explained that a transit overlay zone can be applied to properties with
�"' industrial and commercial zoning within 2,000' of a rail transit station, that are a
�,,, minimum of five acres, and that provide transit improvements. Under the T Zone,
an applicant may apply for a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Permit that
�"' allows the applicant for a greater floor area ratio in return for transit-related
,�, improvements and programs that are aimed at reducing single-occupancy
commuting. The City ordinance provides that the projects must facilitate
'°`� pedestrian circulation in the vicinity of the transit station as they help offset the
�•. potential traffic impacts of the greater floor area ratio. If a developer chooses not
.�.
to build transit improvements, the developer can contribute TOD money in the
amount of $3 per square foot over the entire project area as part of the conditions
� of project approval.
She noted that the City has approved five TOD Permits in the Middlefield
� Road/Ellis Street area. Two projects (Mozart and Veritas) have been constructed,
,�, and both have fulfilled their transit requirements. The TOD money for VeriSign
has been collected but not yet spent. The TOD projects that have yet to be
�" constructed include Whisman Associates and Kalcic. These applicants have not
� yet applied for building permits, and TOD funds have not yet been collected. In
1999, the City established the Master List of Off-Site Transit Improvements to
'""°' guide the expenditure of TOD funds; the list includes 11 transit improvements,
� two of which have been completed with the Veritas TOD funds—the Hetch-
Hetchy Trail and landscaped medians on Ellis Street. The Whisman Associates
"'�' TOD funds are committed to the extension of the pedestrian connection across
� 450 Middlefield Road, and the Stevens Creek Trail pedestrian/bike overcrossing
has been funded from other sources. Of the remaining seven projects on the
� master list, three are roadway/median projects; three involve improvements to
�"' existing pedestrian paths; and one proposal is for arts and signage.
10. STUDY SESSION PART II (HELD IN THE PLAZA CONFERENCE ROOM)
Attachment 2
During its consideration of the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program last year,
�"" the Council asked staff to return to Council with a master list of transit projects
�,,, and potential additional projects for Council review. The projects are listed in the
�
staff report.
�
�.
�
�
Special Meeting - September 28, 2004
Page 11
�
At this point of the presentation, the Capital Projects Engineer reviewed each of
the additional off-site transit improvement projects.
�
The Deputy Zoning Administrator continued and stated that off-site improvement
projects have not been prioritized and/or assigned for the VeriSign and Whisman �
Associates TOD funds. The City has collected $697,782 for the VeriSign TOD �
project, and staff is seeking Council's input on the assignment of off-site improve-
ment projects for this development. The TOD funds for the Whisman Associates "�
have not been collected because the applicant has not yet applied for building �
permit; however, staff is also seeking Council's input on the prioritization of off-
site improvement projects for this development. She then reviewed possible uses, �
as outlined in the staff report, of the TOD funds for each of these two develop- �
ments. Staff also responded to questions raised by the City Council. „�
In conclusion, the Deputy Zoning Administrator indicated that based on Council's
input this evening, staff will develop a recommendation for the assignment of the
VeriSign and Whisman Associates TOD funds.
The public input period was opened, and seeing no one wishing to speak, the
public input period was closed.
A Councilmember felt that median projects are not what the community desires.
Use of the funds for the Stevens Creek Trail and other programs to make streets
safer for pedestrians and cyclists is in order.
Another Councilmember supported the Whisman Road median as an important
divider between the industrial area and the adjacent neighborhood on the other
side, but that justification is not a legitimate use of the funds. Completion of the
sidewalks on Whisman Road at the Central Expressway overcrossing would be a
huge pedestrian benefit. Righ� now, it is dangerous to climb the embankment for
pedestrians to reach Slater School. Regarding the medians at the intersection and
the trail crossing, there could be a pedestrian enhancement there because it would
signal to drivers to be more cautious.
�
Another Councilmember indicated that when working on the Whisman Road plan �
a long time ago, the landscaped medians were considered part of a professional
appearance that would upgrade the entire character of the area for better integra- "�
tion into the City. He agreed with the previous speaker on the Whisman Road �
sidewalk and the perils of a midblock crossing.
�
Another Councilmember concurred that the Whisman Road median enhancement
is not an appropriate use of these funds and prefers they be designated toward the
lateral trail at Hetch-Hetchy.

�
�
, The Depufy Zoning Administratar zeminded everyone that the ordinance states
"�"' the funds must be used to facilitate pedestrian circulation in khe vicinity of the
,�... Transit Station.
�,.
During Council deliberations, the City Attorney suggested that perhaps staff could
� talk to the project applzcants about what Council has in mind in regards to the
,w,,, assignment of TOD funds before the list of projects is brought back to the Council.
�"'' A Councilmember suggested that to really help pedestrians, it is best to enhance
,.r► an intersection by using signage, zaising the crosswalk for more viszbility and
�
putting in a stop light.
As direction to staff, one Councilmember stated there seems to be an znclination
toward getdng the "most bang for the buck" using existing resources.
"" A Councilmember felt the issue was very nebulous. By simple observation, he felt
,�,�, it could be determined who was using the Light Rail Tzail. He felt the Counal was
leaning toward the most cost-effective use of the project in terms of capital and
" operating expenses to create a more efficient transportation route, whatever it rxtay
�, be.
� � In concluding the study session, the Mayor announced the current openings on the
*� City board, commissions and committees, noting that the application deadline has
�,,,, been extended to October 15, 2004.

Landscaped Medians on Whisman Road
Landscaped meclians are recommended for Whismari Road to piovide a smoother
visual and pedestrian transition between the two sides of the street. .
� The median north of Middlefield Road will bu.ffer the residential side of the street
from industrial activities on.the other side and give the street a new, softer look. .
The Whisman Traffic Study confirmed that future traffic volumes could be accom-
modated with a two-lane street. The median would be 18 feet to 20 feet wide
with breaks at all residential street intersections and at major industrial drive-
ways. Bike lanes would be retained, and there would coritinue to be parking on
the resideritial side, but not the industriai side of the �street. . Ttie median would be
landscaped with gentle mounding and evergreen trees consistent with the Ellis=
Middlefield Streetscape Guidelines (see Page 26). The median and a crosswalk
will provide a safer environment for pedestrians crossing from one side of the
street to the ottier at the Hetch-Hetchy trail proposed�in the Pazks arid Open
Space section of this Plan, Figure 6 shows street cross-sections as the street exists
now and how it would lopk after the median is installed. Figure 7 shows loca-
tions of possible median breaks. Both figures are conceptual. Installation of this
median would implement�a General Plan policy that designates this segment of
. Whisrnan Road as a Residential Arterial. ' �

�""' Subject: Whisman Blvd Promise
Dear Mountain View City Council Member,
With the city planning and development processes well underway again I would like to propose and
remind the city of a promise once made of adding a landscaped divider to North Whisman Blvd.
� As a resident of the area for over 30 years I have experience many cycles of development in the north
Whisman area, however, now it seems commerciallbusiness development in the area has pretty much
�" completed and the area is poised for final finishing, meaning attention to the condition of Whisman
�: Blvd. A landscaped center divider would convert this fairly common street into a boulevard that
residents, commercial tenants and the city could experience with proud pleasure. The improved
'�"` experience might extend beyond the local residents to the many high profile visitors and customers of
�.. the resident companies of the street like Hewlett Packard, Nokia and others. That would be good for
everybody.
�. Finally, it's obvious that the transition across Whisman Blvd from residential to commercial is harsh
and jatring. The Whisman area residents deserve better. Over the years we've lived with the noise, dirt
'""' and inconvenience of development, destruction, then construction again. Worse, contaminated water,
.� land and air. Noise from Moffett Field, the freeways and freeway construction. With those problems
now mostly resolved, isn't it time to reinforce the borders of our neighborhood giving it the distinction
�'" and definition it deserves? Landscaping the center divider of Whisman Blvd would be a wonderful
�,,, effort in that direction.
Yours truly,
�

DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION BOND IMPROVEMENTS,
PROJECT 06-37—POTENTIAL PROJECTS
This memo outlines candidate projects to fund from the Downtown Revitalization Bond
Improvements, Project 06-37. The projects are:
1. Expand/Add Downtown Business Recycling Enclosures ($155,000).
2. Develop New Sign Program for the Downtown (cost dependent on scope).
3. Castro Street/Evelyn Avenue Gateway Design and Construction (cost dependent
on scope).
4. Caulking and Resealing Bomanite along Castro Street (up to $175,000).
�
�
Upgrade Parking Structure Elevator ($150,000).
Upgrade Castro Street Crosswalks (cost dependent on scope).
We will be seeking input from the Council regarding these projects at the CIP Study
Session on Apri117, 2007.
BACKGROUND
The Revitalization Authority bond issued in 2003 set aside approximately $1 million for
�'" downtown capital improvements. The bond provided the last significant dedicated
*�' pool of funds before the agency sunsets in 2009. In dedicating $1 million from the bond
issue, the City Council asked staff to propose a plan to invest in capital projects that will
� last longer than the life of the bonds (2019). The first project approved by Council for
�' use of the bond funds was the Castro Street tree replacement. The remaining balance of
„�, bond proceeds is $902,000.

Staff prepared a list of possible projects and reviewed them with the Downtown
Committee on October 5, 2005 and with the City Council in Study Session on
October 18, 2005. A list of possible projects, incorporating the comments from the
Committee and Council, is provided below.
Expand/Add Downtown Business Recycling Enclosures ($155,000)
One of the ongoing challenges to downtown business is finding sufficient space
on-site for properly sized enclosures to store trash and recycling bins. Recognizing
the downtown space constraints and to facilitate recycling, in 1999, the City
Council approved a CIP to build seven enclosures in Parking Lots 2 through 8 for
existing businesses lacking adequate room on-site. One additional enclosure will
be available when the new California/Bryant Parking Structure opens. The
existing enclosures have been so successful that some of the bins are filled to
overflowing and are now emptied daily (see Attachment 1).
Staff recently evaluated each of the existing enclosure locations. To maximize
capacity, daily and possibly Saturday pickups for some enclosures will be imple-
mented and efforts to make sure merchants use the enclosures properly by
breaking down cardboard and only dumping approved materials will be
increased. Staff will monitor the enclosures as these measures are implemented.
In addition to the above measures, staff proposed construction of a new enclosure
in the alley adjacent to the City's Parking Structure No. 1(the 100 block) and
expansion of the enclosure in Parking Lot 4 to accommodate two additional bins.
The 100 block lacks an enclosure, and merchants must share an enclosure with the
200 block. The demand at Parking Lot 4 is high enough to warrant additional bins.
The estimated cost of the project is $155,000. Locations of existing and proposed
recycling enclosures are shown on Attachment 2.
2. Develop New Directional and Parking Sign Program for the Downtown (cost
dependent on scope)
�
The directional signs located downtown and at strategic intersections throughout i`
the City (Central Expressway, El Camino Real, U.S. 101 off-ramps) date from the �
original revitalization project in the early 1990s. A number of these signs were �
recently replaced due to deteriorated condition. With the opening of the new
parking structure, now is a good time to design a new sign program to replace the �
existing signs with a more durable product and also determine how best to direct ���
downtown patrons to new and existing parking facilities.
�
�
�
�
F::,

�,,, Apri15, 2007
�

�
,,,,� The Downtown Committee favored evaluating the downtowri sign program with
the goal of making it more effective, but no.t all members favored a complete
""� redesign. Some Councilmembers thought the existing signs were not sufficiently
.� visible, while others were concerned about making the signs too large.
'""" Staff proposes evaluating the sign program with the goal of making directional
�"' signs to parking and other public facili�ies more visible than the existing signs.
�„ Strategies include using universal parking symbols, as was done on the new
California/Bryant parking structure, and using additional colors. Photos of
�' existing downtown signs are included in Attachment 3.
�
�
3. Castro Street/Evelyn Avenue Gateway Design and Construction (cost dependent
on scope)
�
�,,, The area along the Caltrain tracks at Evelyn Avenue and the pedestrian crossing/
open space area on the southeast corner of Castro Street and Evelyn Avenue
'"°� (across from Centennial Plaza) are an unimproved gateway to the downtown.
� This area was not included in the revitalization project of the early 1990s and
�
remnants remain of the previous sidewalks and concrete seatwalls. Improvements
were made with the Centennial Plaza and Evelyn Avenue projects on the east side
'�" of Castro Street, but the west side north of Evelyn Avenue has not been improved
.�. for many years. The gateway area is shown on Attachment 4.
�
Most Downtown Committee members and City Councilmembers agreed that the
� appearance and function of the Castro Street/Evelyn Avenue gateway area should
,�, be improved with particular attention paid to providing safe and comfortable
passage to pedestrians through the area. This summer, staff intends to apply for a
�"" Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) Community Design and Transportation
� Program (CDT) planning grant to develop a conceptual design for the Castro
Street/Evelyn Avenue gateway to downtown and, if successful, proposes
� returning to Council with a more developed plan for this intersection.
�
�, 4. Caulking and Resealing Bomanite along Castro Street (up to $175,000)
"` The stamped concrete sidewalk surface along Castro Street is beginning to wear
� and is in need of substantial renovation to postpone the need for major replace-
�,,, ment. Failure of the caulked joints poses a trip hazard and also allows water to
enter and accelerate deterioration of the slabs. In addition, over the years, pressure
°� washing has worn down the original surface seal, making routine maintenance
� difficult. Resealing the surface would help restore color to the sidewalk as well as
�
extending its service life and appearance.
�
�
�
,�..
Cathy R. Lazarus
Apri15, 2007
Page 4
The Committee members and Councilmembers who commented on this project
thought that replacing the caulking and resealing the colored concrete downtown
should be done only in critical areas that are most in need. The $175,000 budget is
estimated to cover the most critical areas.
5. Upgrade Parking Structure Elevator ($150,000)
The 15-year-old elevator in the existing parking structure on Bryant Street is due
for upgrading. It is considered old technology and is becoming difficult to main-
tain as parts are not readily available. The elevator has been victim to etched and
painted graffiti, as well as vandalism, and there are newer models on the market
more resistant to this type of abuse. Additionally, a nonproprietary control system
is now being placed in new and renovated City-owned elevators that is easier to
troubleshoot and repair.
There was general support among the Committee and Council to renovate the
elevator. One Committee member suggested funding the renovation from
downtown parking maintenance funds because it is part of the parking
infrastructure. Because this is an upgrade rather than maintenance, staff
recommends funding the project with bond proceeds.
6. Upgrade Castro Street Crosswalks (cost dependent on scope)
The midblock crosswalks along Castro Street intersections are delineated with
painted "X" marks. The proposed project would upgrade and highlight some or all
of the six midblock crosswalks to make them more visible to drivers.
Several Committee members and Councilmembers agreed that the downtown
crosswalks should be upgraded to be more visible and make crossing Castro Street
easier for pedestrians. Ideas discussed included stamped or colored concrete or
pavers, reflectors, lights or elevating the crosswalks.

CITY OF MOUNTAIN VIEW
MEMORANDUM
DATE: Apri16, 2007
TO: Kevin C. Duggan, City Manager
FROM: Michael S. Young, Fire Chief
Cathy R. Lazarus, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: UPDATE REGARDING POTENTIAL ALTERNATIVE LOCATION FOR
FIRE STATION 5
PURPOSE
"�"" This memorandum is an update regarding the potential public safety improvements,
� environmental considerations and project costs associated with acquiring property at
�
North Shoreline Boulevard and La Avenida for the permanent Fire Station 5.
INTRODUCTION
This report discusses a potential opportunity to acquire vacant Valley Transportation
""` Authority (VTA) property adjacent to the VTA North Yard bus maintenance facility at
•� North Shoreline Bouleyard and La Avenida as the site for the permanent Fire Station 5.
Slightly less than one acre in size, the property is a remnant from the Route 85/U.S.101
�"` interchange project construction. Attachment 1 illustrates the location of the temporary
"'�' Fire Station 5 as well as the VTA property.
The location of the temporary Fire Station 5 at the northeast corner of Crittenden Lane
�"` and North Shoreline Boulevard was selected by the City Council in June 1998. At that
«•. time, the site selection parameters were limited to City-owned property in the area, and
� the selected site was the best of the available options. Fire response time studies
conducted in 1998 showed that the optimal location would be closer to the intersection
�'"' of North Shoreline Boulevard and Pear Avenue; however, there were no viable sites
,., available at that time. Before beginning to design the permanent station, staff felt it was
prudent to determine if there is an alternate, relatively affordable location in the
'�" Shoreline area that provides improved response time and more operating flexibility for
� the Fire Department. Because the VTA property is significantly closer to this optimal
geographic location and is affordable compared to other property in the North �
� Bayshore Area, it is appropriate to investigate the possibility of an alternate site.
�
�

Fire De�artment O�erational Considerations
The Fire Department has been operating out of the temporary Fire State 5 site at the
northeast corner of Crittenden Lane and North Shoreline Boulevard (across the street
from Shoreline Amphitheatre) since January 1999. The station houses one engine
company and a cross-staffed hazardous materials vehicle. Station 5 is staffed by nine
personnel with a total annual salary and benefit cost of $1,450,000. Attachment 2 is an
aerial of the temporary facility.
Fire Department analysis shows that from either the La Avenida site or the current site,
Engine 5 has a response time of five minutes or less to any portion of the North
Bayshore Area. This response time meets City standards and best fire service industry
practices for standards of cover. However, at the current location, Engine 5 has a very
small response area south of Highway 101 because of the station's remote location.
Response time drives the decision as to which engine company to send to an
emergency, and the current location limits the utility and efficiency of the City's
substantial investment in the North Bayshore station. By moving the station to tlie
La Avenida vicinity, the City can significantly increase Engine 5's first due response
area in the neighborhoods surrounding North Shoreline Boulevard from Terra Bella
Avenue to south of Middlefield Road as shown on Attachment 3.
�
�
Annually, Fire Station 5 responds to 574 calls in the North Bayshore Area, an average of ,,,�
1.6 calls per day. This call volume is low compared to the rest of the City, primarily
because of the remote location and the land uses in the area—fully fire-sprinkled �
industrial/office buildings that generate a low call volume compared to areas of the �
City that are predominantly residential, restaurants and commercial. Even with �
anticipated future increases in development density in the North Bayshore Area, the
level of calls for service will remain below the rest of the City. �"°
By comparison, at the City's busiest station, Fire Station 1 at South Shoreline Boulevard
and Dana Street, there are 1,600 calls annually or an average of 4.4 calls a day. Moving
Engine 5 to the La Avenida site creates the ability to increase the call volume by
25 percent to 719 calls per year and concurrently reduce the Engine 1 call volume by
9 percent to 1,455 calls annually. T'his will help balance the emergency workload
between the stations and increase the operational and cost-effectiveness of Engine 5. As
more housing and development occur in the downtown and south of U.S. 101, it is
expected that more and more calls could be assigned to Fire Station 5 in the future from
the La Avenida location.
Because most of the North Bayshore Area is relatively new construction protected by �
fire sprinklers, the fire and life safety hazard in most of the area is fairly low. The one
exception to this is the Santiago Villa Mobile Home Park, which is significantly closer to '"�
�
�
�

" Kevin C. Duggan
,,.� Apri16, 2007
�
Page 3
�„ the proposed La Avenida site. In addition, the major fire and life safety hazards in the
City are the large, unsprinklered apartment complexes in the Middlefield Road/North
�`" Shoreline Boulevard area and the California Street corridor. These areas are all south of
� Highway 101. It currently takes Engine 51 minute and 41 seconds to reach
Highway 101. This additional response time could be saved by relocating to La
�" Avenida, thus improving the life safety of residents south of Highway 101.
�,,, The siting of a fire station is an important long-term strategic decision for a city to make.
Once sited, it is very difficult to relocate a fire station. Of the 4,818 emergencies that the
"� Fire Department responded to in Fiscal Year 2005-06, only 253 incidents (5 percent)
� were north of Highway 101. For this reason, the La Avenida site is strategically much
...,
better than the current site because it can much more effectively protect the balance of
the City south of Highway 101 where the majority of the emergency calls take place.
�
,,,�, Fire services are very expensive; therefore, it is critically important that they be sited in
the most appropriate location for protection of the entire City. Future growth in fire
�" services demand should also be considered. As the City continues to grow in
"- population and density, the demand on the downtown fire resources may reach a point
�„ in the future where additional resources are needed. By locating Station 5 in a location
to support downtown fire units, the City may be able to delay or defer the need to add
�`"' costly additional fire resources in the future.
�
La Avenida Site Considerations
� The La Avenida site is outlined in Attachment 4. About three-quarters of an acre, it is
;�„ irregular in shape and part of the larger property owned by the VTA. It is not a discrete
parcel and would have to be subdivided prior to sale. The uses on the property consist
'�"° of two unused construction trailers and a small grass area with a bench. Based on very
� preliminary site analysis, it appears that, although tight, a fire station could be built on
the property. The building sketch on Attachment 4 is a staff-developed conceptual
� configuration based on the building program of Fire Station 2, the City's newest facility.
,,,�,,, A Phase I environmental assessment is under way to determine if there are
environmental factors that might affect the purchase of the property or significantly
�" increase development costs in the event environmental remediation or special
*� construction methods, such as vapor barriers, are needed. While this specific portion of
,,�„ the VTA property has not been studied, staff is aware that the VTA conducted
environmental investigations of their property in the past that included drilling a
'"" number of test wells. Those investigations found contaminants, including TCE in the
� groundwater, most likely from an up-gradient location. In 2005, the Regional Water
.�.
Quality Control Board issued a"No Further Action Letter" to the VTA.

Although the preliminary environmental review is not complete, environmental
concerns, if found, would most likely be related to the TCE and groundwater
contamination throughout many areas of the City. The Phase I findings may also
indicate that additional environmental investigation is warranted. If this is the case, a
Phase II environmental assessment would be required.
�
�
Because the property is next to the freeway and off-ramp, before acquiring the property, �
noise and air quality conditions should be evaluated to ensure the health and safety of
staff assigned to that location. �
Pro�erty Acc�uisition Considerations
As the City Council was advised in a March 2007 briefing memorandum
(Attachment 4), VTA staff is interested in a property sale. An appraisal of the property,
by a mutually agreed-to appraiser, is nearing completion. Based on preliminary
information, we believe the appraised value will be in the range of $1.2 million to
$1.4 million or $40 to $45 a square foot. The assumptions behind the appraisal will be
discussed with the City Council at a Closed Session if there is interest in entering into
formal real property negotiations with the VTA. At this early stage, staff does not know
how long and by what process the VTA disposes of surplus property. Those
conversations will be initiated if there is interest in proceeding.
Based on a property analysis of the North Bayshore Area at the end of March 2007, the
VTA property is clearly an affordable option as recent sales and listings suggest
prevailing values are more commonly $60 to $100 per square foot. In March, three
improved properties on La Avenida were for sale ranging from $2.45 million to
$3.75 million. The area around the optimal response time location at North Shoreline
Boulevard and Pear Avenue is essentially built out with the exception of the VTA
property and a property that is slated to be developed for an automobile museum.
Acquiring private property in lieu of the VTA parcel would require monitoring the
market and working with area brokers to assure the City is notified when and if suitable
property comes on the market.
Budgetar� Considerations
The Shoreline Community Fund is the funding source for Fire Station 5. A „�
$500,000 design budget for Fire Station 5, established in 2002, has been the funding
source for the preliminary look at the VTA property. This budget will require a �
supplemental appropriation to fully fund project design regardless of the ultimate �
location of the permanent fire station. The $4.5 million construction budget for the fire �
station was also estimated in 2002 and programmed in the CIP for implementation in
Fiscal Year 2008-09. The construction budget will also require supplemental funding to "�

adjust for inflation and the ultimate design and configuration of the station. To date, no
funds have been set aside to purchase property for the permanent station.
CONCLUSION
Preliminary investigation of the remnant portion of the VTA bus yard indicates that:
• The site can accommodate a fire station.
• The site meets response time standards to the North Bayshore.
• The site improves fire service coverage in the City south of U.S. 101.
• The site enables workload between Station 1 and Station 5 to be better balanced.
The site is affordable for the area market.
Proximity to the freeway requires a noise and air quality assessment and a station
may need additional sound attenuation and air filtration systems.
• There may be subsurface environmental conditions that require special design
treatment in the building.

NEXT STEPS
Our current approach is to continue with the "due diligence" assessment of the
property, complete the appraisal and schedule a Study Session with the City Council to
review various options for proceeding with a permanent fire station in the North
Bayshore Area.

CITY OF MOUNTAIN VIEW
MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 30, 2007
TO: Cathy R. Lazarus, Public Works Director
Timothy Ko, Assistant Public Works Director
FROM: Jack Muench, Senior Civil Engineer
� SUBJECT: STEVENS CREEK TRAIL PEDESTRIAN/BICYCLE OVERCROSSING AT
MOFFETT BOULEVARD, PROJECT 04-33—STATUS UPDATE
�
BACKGROUND
"� The Stevens Creek Trail crossing at Moffett Boulevard, adjacent to the Highway 85 off-
� ramp, is the only at-grade crossing on the entire trail. Although the crossing is
y,,, controlled by a traffic signal, the existing condition creates conflicts between trail users
and off-ramp traffic because speeds tend to be higher and drivers on the off-ramp do
"�' not have a clear view of trail users in the crosswalk. Some trail users have expressed
� safety concerns about this crossing.
'� In 2002, the City Council authorized a feasibility study of grade-separating the trail at
'�" the Moffett Boulevard crossing. The study concluded that an overcrossing is feasible
,�,,, and Council has funded the design and construction of the project in the amount of
$3.55 million.
CURRENT DESIGN AND BUDGET STATUS
The overcrossing design is 90 percent complete. The new trail and bridge will be west
+� of the existing trail near the Highway 85 freeway and will be constructed primarily
„� within the Caltrans right-of-way. The trail was placed in this location to avoid conflict
with the nearby overhead PG&E high-voltage wires and to reduce the number of
"" Heritage tree removals. The bridge will be approximately 480' long and cross both
� Moffett Boulevard and the off-ramp from Highway 85. There will be two new sections
of the trail that will connect the overcrossing with the existing trail (see Attachment 1).
"' The alignment for the new sections of trail within the Caltrans right-of-way is required
�,,,,, to follow Caltraris guidelines for Class I bikeways. There is a Caltrans requirement to
use long-radius curves for Class I bike paths to provide for adequate sight distances.
'� This has resulted in several alignment changes from the early design options envisioned
�- in the feasibility report. Also, to achieve the alignment requirements, it has been
�
�
�
�
Cathy R. Lazarus
Timothy Ko
March 30, 2007
Page 2
necessary to place trail in locations that will require almost twice the amount of
retaining wall than was estimated in earlier alignment alternatives.
Another design challenge was encountered with foundations for the columns that will
support the new bridge. The foundations will be supported by concrete piles driven
into the soil. During the drilling for the geotechnical soil investigation, a layer of
ground under the bridge footings was found that has the potential for liquefaction
during an earthquake. To properly support the overcrossing structure, it will be
necessary to use longer piles driven significantly deeper into the ground.
Based on the issues reviewed above and the desire to remove the fewest Heritage trees,
the design engineer was required to evaluate three additional alignments increasing the
project design costs. Additionally, funding and a contract amendment will be needed
so the design engineer can provide construction support during construction. City
in-house costs for project management, construction administration and inspection and
City administration will increase because more time and effort are needed on this
complex project. The current project cost breakdown for the project is as follows:

�
,,,,, SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL SCOPE AND BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS
TO LIBRARY SERVICES CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS 05-31
'"� AND 07-38
�
'�" This memo is a request to add budget and scope to the Library Automated Book
''�` Check-In and First-Floor Modifications, Project 05-31, and the Library Space
�„ Reallocation, Project 07-38. The proposed changes are described below.
Librar� Automated Book Check-In and First-Floor Modifications—Project 05-31
,;,;,r, This project includes an automated materials handling (AMH) system and modifica-
tions to the first-floor circulation workroom and the two public service desks in the
'""� lobby. The AMH system will provide automated check-in of materials, provide a
� receipt if the customer wishes and automatically sort materials. These actions will
considerably reduce handling of returned materials by staff, allowing the Library to
'"'� handle increasing circulation without additional staff. The project also includes con-
'"' verting the materials collection to RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) instead of bar
,� codes, which provides additional efficiency in materials handling as well as other
benefits like inventory control and security. The project is further described in the
`" attached memo dated Apri111, 2006.
�
While the materials handling system and RFID conversion will substantially improve
the Library's ability to handle both check-out and check-in of materials with a reduced
� level of staffing, the remaining aspect of materials handling—customers returning
�,., materials to a drive-up book drop—is not currently addressed in the project. The
proposed amendment would add a drive-up return station in the Library garage to
"�'" replace the parking lot book drop. Returned materials would be automatically
,�.

conveyed up to the sorting system on the first floor of the Library. There are numerous
advantages to adding this return station:
• Significant staff savings by eliminating the two-person task of emptying the
outside book return three to five times per day and checking the materials in
manually with an estimated annual staff savings of $40,000 to $50,000 per year.
�
� The new AMH equipment and changes in the circulation work areas, including the �
loss of the foyer access door, will make it necessary for heavy bins to be pushed �
across the main lobby during open hours with the accompanying noise, ,�„
disruption, wear and tear to the terrazzo floor and potential safety issues. �
• Customers using the drive-up book drop will have the same improved service of �
immediate check-in of materials with a receipt that the other returns will offer. �
Problems with overly full and jammed bins will be eliminated, as will damage to
items due to weather conditions. "'�"
• Traffic problems in the parking lot will be reduced with less congestion and fewer
directional mix-ups and pedestrian crossing issues.
The vendor selected for the RFID/AMH project, Libramation, has submitted a plan and
cost for installing the return station and conveyance system in the garage. It is expected
that one space in the parking garage will be lost to accommodate the return station and
that traffic flow can be accommodated. Signage may be needed to direct customers to
return materials in the garage.
The anticipated cost of the new return station and conveyance system is $275,000,
bringing the total project cost to $1,375,000.
Library S�ace Reallocation—Project 07-38
This project reallocates space in the Library to provide more room for growing
collections and less for the underutilized reference collection, replaces carpet where
needed, adds chairs and tables for patrons, and creates a badly needed third group
study room. The project is further described in the attached memo dated Apri111, 2006.
The proposed amendment adds two components to the project:
• The first is a new interior sign program to correspond with the reallocation of ,,�
spaces in the Library. The new program will also provide improved signage in
areas where customers frequently ask for information or directions. "'

� The second is an evaluation of options to provide sound attenuation between the
first and second floors. The problem of noise was identified in the original Space
Utilization Study completed in 2005 and is described in the attached April 2006
memo. The solution proposed in the space study has a relatively high cost
($575,000), and this effort will seek a more cost-effective solution. If an acceptable
solution is found, staff may return to Council with a request to include the
improvement in the project.
The estimated cost of the sign program (including design, fabrication and installation)
and sound attenuation evaluation is $50,000.
Future Needs
The 2005 Space Utilization Study and the memo from Apri12006 identified other areas
of the Library which will require future modifications for optimal use of space to
accommodate changing Library services and operations. The most impacted area in the
Library remains the children's area both in public areas and staff workroom space. The
Community Room also needs to be enlarged to accommodate larger audiences for
children's and other Library programs.

SUBJECT: LIBRARY SPACE UTILIZATION—UPDATE ON FUI�FDED
IMPROVEMENTS, OUTCOME OF SPACE UTILIZATION STUDY AND
1'OTENTIAL IMPLEMENTATION APPROACHES
INTRODUCTION
In the 2004-05 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), the City Council approved the
Library Automated Materials Check-in and First-Floor Modifications (Project 05-31) and
the Library Customer Service Improvements Study (Project 05-26). The purpose of this
report is to update Council on the progress of these projects and the results of the space
study and to present a proposal to improve space use and service provision in the
building.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
Automated Materials Check-in and First-Floor Modifications Update
The scope of the Automated Materials Check-in and First-Floor Modifications project
includes design and installation of automated book check-in and sorting equipment,
installafiion of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and modifications to
the Library lobby to reflect reduced staffing and the new operating systems. After
extensive research on RFID and book check-in/sorti.ng technology, staff is developing a
Request for Proposals (RFP) for this equipment and a contract for architectural services
to design the building modifications associated with the project. The RFP will be issued
this spring, and design should be complete by fall.
Library Customer Improvements Study
The City retained Esherick, Homsey, Dodge and Davis (EHDD), the architectural firm
that designed the Library, to study how to improve customer service and space alloca-
tions to meet current and projected demands. The Strategic Plan adopted by the
? Library Board of Trustees in 2002, as well as data and staff observations about trends

and challenges facing the Library, guided the study. Following is information about the
Library Strategic Plan, trends and challenges facing the Library, and the results of
EHDD's study.
Library Strate ic Plan
In 2002 the Library Board of Trustees approved a Strategic Plan that establishes the
foundation for the provision of Library services to the community. Foundational
principles are that:
�•
.
�
,.., .
.�
�
�
�
,..
? •
The Library provides a community destination—a welcoming and accessible place
that enhances the quality of community life.
The Library provides popular and enduring materials—a variety of current and
lasting materials in various for-mats for customers to use and borrow.
The Library provides general information—a variety of resources to assist
customers with their information needs,
The Library provides lifelong learning and learning support—opportunities for
self-directed learning and connections to formal learning programs.
The strategic planning process included community surveys and focus groups. A
sample of the community input is as follows:
• The Library is vie�ved as a place to visit because of the beautiful building, park
surroundings and services offered. Most people wanted services provided at the
Library rather than delivered to them.
• The most frequent reqizest for new services was for more Libraxy-oriented
_ activities and programs for adults such as book discussion groups, reading clubs
and author programs. Respondents also wanted classes or training on how to use
Library resaurces and the Internet. �t
• The most frequent request for improved/enhanced service was to increase
collections of all types of materials.
t
�
.w
�
�
• The Library is viewed as an important resource for youth and'education services.
Increasing capacity in the youth services programs was important because
demand currently outpaces available resources.

• The Library is cansidered a"reading place" not only for children but also for adults
through liter�cy programs and tutoring opportunities. Teens indicated a desire for
a place to do homework with the resources they need.
A more extensive characterization of the survey and focus group findings are included
in the Strategic Plan (attached as Exhibit 1).
Library Trends
Since the new Library building was opened in 1997, Library usage has increased signifi=
cantly, new collections and programs have been added, and changes have developed in
technology and service models. For example:
� In 1997-98, more than 400,000 people visited the Library. This year, the number of
visitors will be close to 800,000.
• When the new Library opened, the number of materials that were borrowed was
approximately 750,000. This year, circulation will be between 1.4 million and
1.5 million items. -� - - -- — -
• A new collection of more than 9,000 DVDs, which have circulated more than
660,000 times, has been added since 2002. DVDs account for more than 28 percent
of currerit circulation. Media items account for nearly 50 percent of the total
circulation.
• Children's programs are now offered every day except Sunday, including some
evenings. There is community demand for more children's programs and
materials.
� An award-wirming teen services program has been successfully developed and is
growing steadily with materials, programs and staff. The number of teens visiting
the Library has outgrown the existing space, and they are using other areas of the
Library.
• It is expected that free wireless Internet access will bring even more customers to
the Library who will want seating.
• Two new self check-out machines were installed in the Library lobby in 2004, and
an additional machine was added in Children's. Self-checked materials now'
account for 70 percent of total circulation.

r�
�--.
� Since January 2005, customers have been able to pick up and check out their �
�a-
reserve materials without �vaiting in line or needing assistance from Library staff.
� Public libraries are moving toward providing more informal seating and amenities
such as lounge seating and beverage service. Libraries are now seen as a"place" to
come to in the community and a place to spend time rather than just research
facilities.
Librar� S�ace Challenges
With increasing visitation, circulation and collections comes ari operational challenge.
For example:
'�` • First Floor—The first floor of the Library contains the most actively used and
°"" fastest-growing collections, and there is no space to shelve growing collections
„�, More specifically:
�
�
� �
— Media (audio and video) is the fastest growing and most used part of the
collection, and the circulation is now almost 50 percent of the Library's annual
circulation while occupying only 5 percent of the Library public floor space.
Currently, media items are left on book trucks due to lack of shelving space in
the media area.
r-
:�,-
;-
�:
� — Children's materials account for more than 35 percent of the Library's annual
circulation and have outgrown the existing space allocated for picture books, }�
"' media and some special collections. �-
�
�
�
�
�
i
�
�.,
�
— Browsing collections (fiction, mysteries, etc.) are also at capacity on the first
floor. There is no room for growth in these collections so when a new item is
purchased, an older item must be removed. Library collections are dynamic
and the titles held change; however, given the increase in circulation, these
collections should be expanded. J
— More than 85 percent of the borrowed materials are located in less thar�
25 percent of the Library's public space (all on the first floor) with attendant
space constraints, `raffic congestion and noise. For example, at peak usage
times, it is very difficult to move through the media area to find materials.
The entrance to the Children's area becomes extremely congested before and
after children's programs because of the limited aisle space.

— The Teen Zone reallocated space that was previously used for lounge seating.
While�tfie Teen Zone meets the need for student study space, the tradeoff is
that there are now only eight "lounge" seats for adults on the first floor.
— On weekends and other peak usage times, the existing lounge seating and the
majority of study carrels and tables with data ports are filled, and customers
wait for a place to sit.
— Noise from the intense activity on the first floor is transmitted to the second
floor creating problems for customers who need quiet study space.
— Group study rooms are at a premium with customers only permitted to use
them for one hour when others are waiting. Study rooms are also used for
tutoring as part of the Library's literacy program, which further limits
availability. '
— The size of the community room limits the types of programs offered and the
number of participants, including children's story times and special
presentations such as Reading Day and Summer Reading Program. The
raom is heavily booked by community groups as well.
• Second Floor—While the first floor is overcrowded, the second floor is underused
with room to add seating and book stacks.
— Print Reference collections are used less and are diminishing in size due to
electronic formats and use of the Internet as a research tool.
— On busy afternoons and weekends, there is not enough seating on the second
floor for study and computer use.
A floor plan of the Library is provided as Exhibit 2.
Space Study Findings
EHDD evaluated the Library public spaces and developed a plan to address the
operating and capacity challenges. The Library has enough floor space for the materials
needed to serve the community and to provide the range of services offered. The study
recommends phased improvements to maximize efficiency in the existing public space.
Though there are some underutilized statf and "back-of-house" spaces in the Library,
they were not included in the study because it would require much more significant

�"" and costly remodeling. Renovation of these areas should be studied in the future as a
'�" way to increase total floor area dedicated to collections and public use.
• Proposed Scope of Work
Staff evaluated the study recommendations and selected improvements that
provide the most cost-effective solutions to some of the Library's challenges. The
proposed work includes space reallocation of materials collections, the addition of
one group study room and additional seating as described below.
— Space Reallocation
�
�
The objective of the space reallocation is to reduce the area occupied by the
underused Reference collection to provide more room for high-demand and
growing collections. A reduced Reference collection housed on taller, more
efficient stacks would remain on the second floor. Adult Fiction, Genre
(mysteries, westerns, science fiction, etc.) and World Language collections
would move from the first floor to the second floor and expand slightly in
size. The new configuration provides additional flexibility by allowing the
addition of more shelves to the Adult Fiction and Genre collections in the
future by relocating three two-person study tables.
The vacated area on the first floor would be filled with expanded Adult new
books, audio and video/DVD, and possibly Children's A/V collections and
informal seating. The additional collection space is necessary as the Library
materials collections grow and change; for example, from reference books to
circulating materials. The proposed changes are summarized in Table 1 and
shown on Exhibit 3. The linear footages of shelf space are approximate and
can be adjusted as appropriate based on demand and collection size.

In addition to providing more space for high-demand collections, the

providing more space for Audio and Video/DVD. The space reallocation
addresses several needs identified in the strategic planning process, including
additional capacity for collections and additional seating. The area between
the Lobby and Teen Zone will be laid out in a relatively informal way to
encourage browsing of New Adult Books and make room for informal
seating.

� �
`"` The space reallocation was designed to use the existing shelf footprints �'
�• wherever possible to avoid replacing carpet. Carpet replacement is required �
�,,, in the area between the Lobby and Teen Zone because the former Reference �
shelves will be used in this area and cannot occupy the same footprint
'�" because they are a different width and because a less formal layout is desired. �
� �
�
— Group Study Room.
'"` The project would include a new group study room in the copy room near the
,,.. Reference service desk. A second copy room is located near Periodicals and
�.
is sufficient to serve the second floor. Improvements include new carpet and
chairs, and a tabie will be relocated from the Reference area. This will be the
�+ largest group study room in the Library and will accommodate eight people.
�,. The two existing group study rooms each accommodate four people.
�
— Additional Seating.
�
,�, The project also includes 25 additional lounge seats at various locations
� throughout the Library. Additional seating can be provided on the first floor
''�" between the Lobby and Teen Zone in conjunction with the reallocation of
+.�• collection space and on the second floor in the Reference and Adult Non-
,,,� Fiction areas by rearranging some of the existing siudy tables.
�"" The proposed project is estimated to cost $500,000 and includes relocation of existing
�. materials and shelving (including seismic bracing), purchase of new shelving where
required, purchase of new furniture for seating, carpeting in the new group study room
�"` and between the Lobby and Teen Zone, and design and administrative costs.
�
�.,, • Future Improvements
`� 4Vhile staff selected the most cost-effective and least disruptive improvements
�» from the EHDD study, additional improvements are identified that would further
� improve service delivery, at the Library. These include: ,
�'" — Additional Grou� Study Rooms: Three additional group study rooms could
� be provided by providing a smaller, more cen�trally located Referenc�� service
� desk. It would require construction of interior walls and modifications to
� electrical and mechanical systems and could be done as` a stand-alone project
""' as existing collection space is not displaced. '�`he additional group study
,�, � space addresses teen and adult program needs identified in thE ��rategic
�
planning process. The estimated cost of the group study rooms is $235,000.
,..

' — Ex�and the Children's Collection, Children's Staff Area and Communitv
� I�oom: As Children's programs, visitation and circulation expand, the
� collection and staff areas have become strained. New collection and staff
space would allow these programs to keep pace with growing demand. The
� Community Room is the largest flexible conference room space in the Library,
and expansion would accommodate larger group activities such as puppet
shows, children's reading activities and author appearances. Because
� expansion of these areas will reduce area devoted to collections, staff
recommends proceeding first with a space study of the "back-of-house"/staff
areas to see if there are expansion options that result in no loss of space for
� any existing collections. The cost of these improvements was not estimated,
as the scope of improvements to provide additional space for displaced
� collections was not well defined.
�
�
— Sound Attenuation: Improvements are identified in the EHDD study to
reduce noise transmission from the Lobby, Children's area and other active
spaces on the first floor to the second floor. A glass block floor can be
installed between the first and second floor along the east wall in the
Audio/Video area. The glass block will maintain the open feel of the two-
story windows but will block sound and provide additional seating area on
the second floor. A glass wall and doors between the lobby and the
Audio/Video and Children's area would prevent sound from traveling to the
second floor via the open stairwell. The glass wall and doors would be
particularly desirable if the Children's collection is expanded into the
Audio/Video area in the future. The estimated cost of the sound attenuation
improvements is $575,000.
� — Cafe: A cafe is identified in the east wing area near the new Video/DVD,
browsing and informal seating area. Service can range from a simple honor-
� system coffee dispenser to a staffed coffee/snack bar. The cost would depend
on the type of cafe and could be funded by a vendor and possibly generate
;,;� revenue for the City.
The future improvements are shown in Exhibit 4.
CONCLUSION
�
�
�
�
� T'he EHDD study identified many improvements to the existing public space in the �
Library to alleviate space concerns resulting from increased visitation and material
� 1 circulation. Staff proposes a project that would make more efficient use of existing �
public space in the Library and provide additional room for some of the most rapidly �

�� dynamic place to share resources and ideas, to find joy in reading and to experience the power of lifelon�
; leaming.

� The mission statement leads to the Library's service responses.
_ "', «�
' SERVICE RESPONSES
�� There are four "service responses" that the Library is uniquely suited to providing to meet expressed �
,� ,� community needs: �
�� •- A Community Destination-The Library provides a physical place, opportunities for group experiences �c
connections to the local community.
� �
�; �- A Collection of Popular and Enduring Materials-The Library provides books and other materials for „�
� customers to borrow and use.

,. , -,
� �
� •- General Information on Many Subjects and Interests-The Library provides materials, staff and resourc ;
to help customers find and use information to meet their information needs. °�

� � i�
'
�- Lifelong Learning/Learning Support-The Library provides opportunities, resources and services to help
people with formal education and self-directed personal growth.
Woven into these service responses are common themes reflecting both community and staff values and
underscoring how the Library will work towards accomplishing its priorities and strategies.
- Cultural appreciation.
- Technology as a tool.
� - Age appropriate activities.
� - Outreach to underserved poputations.
VALUES
•- Service Excellence-We provide exceilent services to our community.
•- Respect for Diversity-We celebrate diversity in our coilections and services and treat everyone with
courtesy and respect.
•- Learning Environment-We are an open environment for learning, communication, self-improvement,
exploration and enrichment.
•- Values are the foundation which shapes the vision, mission and service responses of the Library
PROCESS
In the spring of 2002, the City of Mountain View Public Library began the strategic planning process. A
committee of 15 community members and stakeholders was selected and included representatives from the
Library Board of Trustees, the Friends of the Mountain View Library, the Mountain View Library Foundation
and Library staff. The charge to the Strategic Planning Committee (Planning Committee) was to develop a
vision for the Library and determine what Library services would best meet community needs for the next
three to five years.
The Planni�g for Results guide from the Public Library Association was used as a model for the pianning
process. After identification of the Library's vision and mission, this model suggests focusing on what the
Library is uniquely positioned to do in the community and identifying what the Library's "service responses"
are going to be to meet community needs.
To assess community needs and help determine service priorities, a variety of survey methods were used to
collect data. Surveys were administered by an attendant within the Library and outside at the Centennial
Celebration Ice Cream Social event where the survey was also available in Spanish. A targeted youth survey
was given to students at the local middie and high schools. Newspaper and web-based surveys were also
available for community input. In total, almost 800 responses were received to the various surveys. Two
focus groups were held in the Library, which provided an opportunity for more in-depth discussion about
Library services.
FINDINGS
The responses from all of the surveys and focus groups were strikingly similar and indicate that the Mountain
View Public Library has a valued and well-loved place in the fabric of the community. Current efforts and
services were validated as being useful and desirable. Most respondents wanted more of what the Library is
already offering. The following key findings were consistent in ali of the responses:

•- The Library is viewed as a place to visit by the residents of Mountain View and surrounding communities
because of the spacious, beautiful building; park views; and services offered, including unique technology r-
resources such as data ports for laptop computers. �
�
�- Most people want services at the Library, rather than services delivered to them. There was little interest _
in delivery services, although those who already use the Bookmobile service are very pleased with the �
collection and staff. '`

•- More than 50 percent of the respondents, many of whom visit the Library, also accessed the Library's web
�� page to search the Library catalog and access their own account.
�- The most frequent request for new services was for more Library-oriented activities and programs for
_ � adults, such as book discussion groups, reading clubs and author programs. Respondents also wanted
� classes or training on how to use Library resources and the fntemet.
�- The most frequent request for improved/enhanced service was to have more of all types of materials,
inciuding books, magazines, DVDs, videos and other media.
�- The Library is viewed as an important resource for youth and education services in the community.
Increasing capacity in the youth services programs was identified as very important because demand
currently outpaces the available resources.
•- Ties to the formal educational structure are also important. The Library is considered a"reading piace,"
not only for children but also for adults through literacy programs and tutoring opportunities. Teens indicated
a desire for a place to do homework with the resources they need.
�- The Library is perceived as an information piace for the residents to find out about their community and
what is happening. Information referral, the History Center and community information postings are
examples of community-related information services people want the Library to offer.
�Some survey findings did not match internal data or expected responses. For example, providing materials ir
, ather languages was not as high a priority as might have been expected based on the demographics and
requests received in the Library for such materials. It is assumed that this was due in part to the survey being
available in English and only once in Sparish. To more accurztely assess the need for materials in other
languages, the Library will have to conduct a more detailed and focused survey out in the community.
��
EVALUATION
�` � An important component of the Strafegic Plan is the evaluation and foilow-up process. An annual report by
j the Library Services Director, ongoing review by the Library Board of Trustees, evaluation during the budget
process and a future review by members of the Planning Committee are the evaluation methods and tools
� that will be used to measure progress and refine the Strategic Plan.
CONCLUSION
This Strategic Plan will be the blueprint or road map for Library programs and services for the next three to
five years. By clarifying the Library's service responses to community needs, the Library can better focus its
resources-even in lean budget years.
Building on existing strengths, this Strategic Plan for the City of Mountain View Public Library is an important
milestone towards identifying priorities and beginning the work of providing the most appropriate and very
best service possible to the community.

CITY OF MOUNTAIN VIEW
MEMORANDUM
DATE: Apri12, 2007
TO: Cathy R. Lazarus, Public Works Director
Timothy Ko, Assistant Public Works Director
FROM: Jack Muench, Senior Civil Engineer
SUBJECT: PERMANENTE CREEK TRAIL PEDESTRIAN/BICYCLE
OVERCROSSING AT HIGHWAY 101 CONSTRUCTION,
PROJECT 06-3�STATUS UPDATE
BACKGROUND
The Permanente Creek Trail Overcrossing at Highway 101 project will extend the
existing Permanente Creek Trail south across Highway 101 to Old Middlefield Road.
Currently, the Permanente Creek Trail extends from the existing trail network in
Shoreline at Mountain View but terminates at the north side of Highway 101. The
extension of the trail over the freeway will provide a route for pedestrians and bicyclists
from the west side of the City to access the North Bayshore Area. As determined in the
feasibility study for the overcrossing, the construction of the new trail section in this
location creates the opportunity for additional trail extensions and improvements to
Middlefield Road and Crittenden Park in the future. The potential future trail
improvements may be constructed as part of the Santa Clara Valley Water District
(SCVWD) flood control improvements project for Permanente Creek which is currently
in the development phase. (See Attachment 1.)
CURRENT DESIGN
The overcrossing design is 60 percent, but final design has been on hold for
approximately one year. T'he SCVWD is currently in the process of determining what
measures will be required to protect the City from a 100-year flood event along the
Permanente Creek corridor and the overcrossing and trail must be designed to not
interfere with the future flood protection measures. The City has been working with
the District on both the trail and flood control projects and is near agreement regarding
how the City can proceed with the Permanente Creek Trail project.
During the design process, a detailed right-of-way investigation revealed that there is a
need for additional easements on both the north and the south sides of the freeway.

and to acquire construction rights to a small portion of the property on the north side of
Highway 101. Both the private property owner providing the easement and the
SCVWD have requested changes in the design, which have added to the construction
costs. The most significant design modification is in the type of column that will be
used for both the north and south approach ramps leading the main overcrossing
structure.
BUDGET STATUS
Based on the issues discussed above, additional funding will be required to complete
the Permanente Creek Trail Overcrossing project. The largest cost increase for the
project is the rise in construction material costs. A recent Caltrans report for similar
projects through the end of 2006 indicates that contract prices for construction materials
have risen an average of 89 percent over the past three years. Staff and design costs
have also risen because of the project schedule extension and the additional easement
and design changes described above.

CITY OF MOUNTAIN VIEW
MEMORANDUM
DATE: Apri12, 2007
TO: Cathy R. Lazarus, Public Works Director
FROM: Anne Marie Callan, Senior Project Manager
SUBJECT: STEVENS CREEK TRAIL PROJECT STATUS
This memo provides an update on design and construction projects for the next reach of
Stevens Creek Trail from El Camino Real to Dale Avenue/Heatherstone Way. The trail
extension from Yuba Drive to El Camino Real is in construction. Attachment 1 shows
the next reach of the trail and Attachment 2 is a project schedule showing the phased
construction of this reach starting right after completion of the current extension to El
Camino Real in 2008.
Stevens Creek Trail, El Camino Real to Dale Avenue/Heatherstone Wav—Design
Design of the next reach of Stevens Creek Trail (SCT), from El Camino Real (ECR) to
Dale Avenue/Heatherstone Way, is programmed and funded in the 2006-07 CIP.
Although construction of this reach will be achieved in two phases, having one design
contract will streamline the design process, ensuring continuity and allowing con-
struction of the less complicated section from El Camino Real to Sleeper Avenue to
proceed in 2007-08, following completion of the current construction from Yuba Drive
to El Camino Real. The second phase, to Dale Avenue/Heatherstone Way, is slated for
construction in 2009-10. During design, staff will continue to seek and apply for
construction grant funding.
The design budget in the adopted 2006-07 CIP is $1,350,000 of which the City funded
$1,050,000 and $300,000 was anticipated from grants. Actual grant funding received is
$250,000, resulting in total funding of $1,300,000. The budget covers professional
services, in-house project management and City administration.
The current estimate for design is $1,900,000, an increase of $600,000 because:
Trail crossings over Stevens Creek to Sleeper Avenue open space and over
Route 85 along the PG&E transmission tower corridor to land at Dale
Avenue/Heatherstone Way are more challenging for design, regulatory
compliance and construction, than originally anticipated. The time and effort
needed to address the complexity of the project will increase design cost.
Cathy R. Lazarus
Apri12, 2007
Page 2
Working with Caltrans and PG&E on the current reach of the trail from Yuba
Drive to El Camino Real has proven to be very challenging, resulting in more time
spent than usual by both staff and the designers. Staff anticipates similar
challenges in the next reach.
Stevens Creek Trail Construction—El Camino Real to Slee�er Avenue (Phase I)
Phase I construction is currently estimated to cost $2,074,000. The City was successful
in securing $874,000 in grant funding. Approving $1,200,000 in the City funding with
the 2007-08 CIP will fund the construction project to Sleeper Avenue open space.
Stevens Creek Trail Construction Slee�er Avenue to Dale Avenue/Heatherstone Wa�
Phase II
Phase II construction previously programmed in 2008-09 is now in the 2009-10 CIP as
shown on the attached schedule. This phase of the trail is very complex, with a bridge
over Highway 85, impacts from high-voltage PG&E transmission lines and towers and a
constrained landing site at Dale Avenue/Heatherstone Way. Design will take longer to
allow more time for coordination with Caltrans and PG&E and complying with outside
agency conditions will increase cost.
The current cost estimate and placeholder budget for this phase is $7,130,000. Funding
sources have not been identified at this time. Staff is pursuing a number of possible
grants for this project to supplement City funding.

CITY OF MOUNTAIN VIEW
MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 3, 2007
TO: Cathy R. Lazarus, Public Works Director
FROM: Timothy Ko, Assistant Public Works Director/City Engineer
SUBJECT: PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE PROGRAM AND FUNDING STRATEGY
BACKGROUND
The City maintains approximately 145 miles (roughly 30.8 million square feet) of street
pavement having a replacement value of approximately $800 million to $900 million.
Maintaining these pavements to maximize their useful life and preserve the City's
investment is operationally and fiscally challenging, particularly since 2005 when
asphalt prices increased more than 50 percent and some pavement maintenance pre-
viously done in-house was transferred to the capital program because reductions in
street maintenance staff were needed to balance the operating budget. This memo
reflects a detailed analysis of conditions of City streets and outlines a funding strategy
for street infrastructure investment.
Pavement Condition Index (PCI�
The primary tool to evaluate City streets is the MTC's Pavement Management System
(PMS) containing a database of all the City streets, their pavement conditions
(expressed as a pavement condition index) and maintenance strategy. The City updates
the PMS annually and conducts a field survey of all the streets biannually.
Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is an indicator of pavement quality on a scale of 0 to
100, with 100 being new pavement. The PCI is based on the amount, type and severity
of pavement deterioration observed during field inspection, such as cracking, rutting,
weathering and utility patching. Averaging the PCI scores of all the streets gives an
overall PCI rating for the entire street network.
Pavements with PCI above 70 are considered "very good" condition. PCI rating of 69 to
55 indicates the pavement is in "good" condition. At 54 to 40, the condition slips to
"fair," and below 40, the pavement is in poor condition. Mountain View's objective is to
maintain the City's PCI solidly in the "very good" range.
Cathy R. Lazarus
April 3, 2007
Page 2
The most cost-effective way to restore and extend the life of pavement is to perform
preventative maintenance, such as slurry seal or thin overlay, to a street before it drops
below PCI = 60. It costs at least five times more to fix a roadway once it has deterio-
rated to a very poor condition (PCI = 20 or below), when major rehabilitation or
reconstruction is necessary.
ANALYSIS
Cit_y Street Network Pavement Condition
The current average PCI for Mountain View streets is 75, placing the network in the
"very good" condition category. Pavement condition of the City's streets, by ranking, is
as follows:
• 75 percent is in "very good" condition with PCI above 70
• 20 percent is in "good" condition with PCI of 55 to 69
• 4 percent is in "fair" condition with PCI of 40 to 55
� 1 percent is in "poor" condition with PCI below 40
There are 10 streets with PCI 35 or below. These are older streets with structural
failures nof correctable with standard surface treatment, such as an overlay, but require
reconstruction with new base and asphalt sections. The street with the worst pavement
condition is Peacock Avenue, with a PCI of 19. The other nine streets are: Elsie
Avenue, Burgoyne Street, San Ramon Avenue, San Luis Avenue, Vassar Avenue, Doane
Avenue, Drew Avenue, Wagner Avenue and Hackett Avenue (see Attachment 1—
Location Map).
The recommended strategy is to reconstruct these streets over an 8- to 10-year period,
starting with Peacock Avenue. Reconstructing these "end-of-life" streets and continuing
funding preventative maintenance at or above the current level will increase the overall
City PCI.
Pavement Maintenance Fundin�
Attachment 2 shows the pavement maintenance funding in adopted Capital
Improvement Programs (CIP) over the last six years (2001-02 to 2006-07). Funding in
the first four years remained constant at $787,000 per year. During these years, asphalt
prices averaged $54 per ton in place. In addition to annual pavement maintenance
projects, between 2001 and 2004, the City spent $7,400,000 rebuilding Evelyn Avenue
from Castro Street to the City limit at Bernardo Avenue.
Cathy R. Lazarus
Apri13, 2007
Page 3
In 2005-06, asphalt price jumped 52 percent to $82 per ton, where it remains today. To
account for cost escalation and increase the level of preventative maintenance,
2005-06 CIP funding for pavement maintenance (including $520,000 from a Federal
grant) totaled $1,553,000, an increase of nearly 100 percent from the year before, which
contributed to a slight rise in network PCI (from 74 to 75) the following year.
In 2006-07, CIP funding from City sources for pavement maintenance rose 33 percent
from the prior year to $1,380,000, including $270,000 to reconstruct Velarde Street
pavement, reflecting continued commitment to protecting and rehabilitating existing
infrastructure.
For Fiscal Year 2007-08, the CIP proposes spending a total of $1,762,000 for preventative
maintenance (includes $367,000 in Federal grant) and $550,000 to reconstruct Peacock
Avenue pavement, for a total pavement maintenance budget of $2,312,000. With the
proposed increase, the network PCI is projected to rise to the high 70s.
Future Funding Requirements
As the network pavement ages, maintaining the PCI in the "very good" level (high 70s
to low 80s) requires coininitting $2,600,000 in CIP funding annually over the next five to
eight years for preventative maintenance ($2,000,000) and pavement reconstruction
($600,000). Funding would be supplemented by State bond and gas tax funds and
Federal grants, which could be approximately $1,000,000 annually. Based on our
current estimate of outside funding, the City will need to commit $1,600,000 of City CIP
funds on an annual basis.

CITY OF MOUNTAIN VIEW
MEMORANDUM
DATE: Apri15, 2007
TO: Kevin C. Duggan, City Manager
FROM: David A. Muela, Community Services Director
SUBJECT: COMMUNITY GARDEN UPDATE
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memo is to: provide an update regarding a possible location for an
additional community garden.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The City currently operates two community gardens, Willowgate and the senior
garden. Council added the establishment of a third comsnunity garden to its list of
goals in 2003-04. Since that time, a number of ineetings have taken place on this topic:
Tune 4, 2004 Stud,y Session:
Council referred item back to the Parks and Recreation Commission to explore the
use of publicly owned or controlled sites for an additional community garden;
determine construction and operation costs; and explore possible collaborative
approaches to site maintenance.
March and December 2005:
Public workshops were held to meet with interested gardeners and review site
location criteria. From the information gathered at these meetings, staff developed
a list of preferred garden locations.
March 7, 2006 Cit,y Council Meeting:
Council authorized staff to forward a request to the San Francisco Public Utilities
Commission (SFPUC) for permission to allow community gardening on one or
both of the two Hetch-Hetchy right-of-way locations (Attachment A— Bonny and
Beatrice site; Attachment B— Stierlin site).
Kevin C. Duggan
Apri15, 2007
Page 2
Hetch-Hetchy Sites
Staff contacted SFPUC and determined that the site at Stierlin Road was not favored by
the SFPUC for a potential garden location since it is used for parki�g for the annual
Obon Festival. The SFPUC was willing to entertain the idea of a garden at the Bonny
and Beatrice location. Staff presented a draft site map for this location at the October 11,
2006 SFPUC right-of-way meeting. The response from the SFPUC was positive, and the
City was granted permission to conduct soil testing.
Soil and Plant Laboratory, Inc. conducted the soil testing in November 2006. The results
indicated that the Bonny and Beatrice location would be desirable for gardening after
removing 5" of consolidated soil. This action would prevent problems with drainage.
The proposed site at Bonny and Beatrice will accommodate up to 59 raised gardening
beds. The current wait list for the Willowgate garden is 59 people, and the current wait
list for the Senior Center garden is 61 people (4 people are on both the Willowgate and
Senior Center garden lists).
City-Owned Sites
While the Council did not direct staff to pursue City-owned parcels at Wright Avenue
or Whisman Road, both sites have been considered throughout the process. The
following sumrnary provides background information regarding both City-owned
parcels.
The first site is the 0.21-acre parcel on Wright Avenue (Attachment C). This site is not
recommended for a community garden as it is half of the size of the proposed new
community garden at Bonny and Beatrice and mag require removal of some trees to
eliminate shade. The Heritage status of these trees has not yet been determined. The
Wright Avenue site was originally removed from the inventory of surplus City-owned
properties until such time as a determination could be made regarding its potential as
an additional community garden. The site would not be ideal for use as a mini-park as
it does not meet the minimum acreage criteria (0.5 acre or larger) and is in close
proximity to Rex Manor Park. Should the Council choose not to pursue the Wright
Avenue site for a possible community garden location, it is recommended the site be
returned to the inventory of surplus City-owned properties.
The second City-owned site evaluated as a potential community garden location is the
YVhisman Road parcel located near the City's Municipal Operations Center
Kevin C. Duggan
Apri15, 2007
Page 3
(Attachment D). The site is between 0.4 acre and 0.5 acre and includes a 10-space
parking lot. The site is located near industrial uses, so a soil test would need to be
conducted to make sure the soil was conducive to gardening. Given the strategic
location of the property, however, adjacent to the MOC and the Francia property, it is
important that City retain flexibility regarding its long-term use. As such, pursuit of a
community garden at this location is not recommended at this time.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff proposes construction of a community garden at the Bonny and Beatrice location
as the use is compatible with the Hetch-Hetchy right-of-way and is supported by the
SFPUC. Due to the construction, operating and staffing costs associated with the new
community garden, only one is proposed at this time. Although the additional
59 gardening plots would not eliminate the entire waiting list, it would reduce it by
half. Once the new garden is complete and has been in operation for a year, staff would
reevaluate whether or not the demand for another community garden still exists.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost to construct a community garden at the Bonny and Beatrice site is estimated at
$149,000. At the March 28, 20Q7 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, the
Commission voted 4-0 to forward a recommendation to Council through the
2007-08 CIP to use Roberti-Z'Berg-Harris (Proposition 12) funding for the additional
community garden. The project is also eligible for Park Land Dedication In-Lieu Fees
(Priority 2—Development of Parks). The ongoing operational costs (water, materials
and supplies, etc.) for an additional community garden are estimated to be $6,500 per
year. Staff time for the new garden is estimated to be approximately 10 hours per
month or .05 FTE per year. Currently, the staff time associated with operating the new
community garden could be absorbed; however, were a fourth community garden
added in the future, the need for additional staffing resources would have to be
reassessed.
NEXT STEP
Unless Council wishes to formally discuss the project, following the 2007-08 Capital
Improvement Program Study Session, staff will proceed by holding a neighborhood

meeting in the Bonny and Beatrice area. If there are no concerns raised by the
neighborhood, the project (if approved) will move forward July 1, 2007.

CITY OF MOUNTAIN VIEW
MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 10, 2007
TO: City Council
FROM: Frederick F. Fallah, AIA, Senior Project Manager
Michael A. Fuller, Capital Projects Engineer
Nadine P. Levin, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: NEW CHILD-CARE CENTER, PROJECT 06-35
PURPOSE OF STUDY SESSION
The purpose of the Study Session is to provide City Council with a status update on the
child-care center project and to suggest supplemental funding for the project.
BACKGROUND
Work on addressing the need for child care began in Mountain View in 1997, when the
Mountain View/Los Altos Child-Care Task Force was created. The Task Force
presented a needs assessment to City Council in 1999 and a child-care center feasibility
study in 2001. In 2002, staff was directed by the City Council to develop a child-care
center implementation plan. As a result of this direction and with the assistance of the
professional services firm of International Child Resource Institute (ICRI), a funding
search was conducted and developer/operator Request for Proposal process was
conducted. While the funding search did not result in the identification of a funder, it
did lead to a relationship with the David and Lucile Packard Foundation (Packard
Foundation). This relationship developed into an offer by the Packard Foundation to
apply for a Program-Related Investment (PIZI) financing. At the December 7,
2004 Council meeting, Council adopted a resolution authorizing staff to pursue a
$2.9 million PRI from the Packard Foundation for construction of a child-care center
and authorized the City Manager to negotiate with Children's Creative Learning
Centers (CCLC) as operator of the center.
On March 14, 2005, the City was notified that the Packard Foundation Board approved
the City's PRI application for $2.9 million at 1 percent interest based on a 15-year
amortization schedule with a balloon payment due in eight years for the remaining
balance.
City Council
May 10, 2007
Page 2
The RFP process resulted in the selection of the CCLC as the center operator due to their
having the strongest financial proposal and relevant operating experience.
Council held a Study Session on the child-care center funding strategy on May 10, 2005.
At that meeting, the Council reviewed the agreed-to operator lease payments of
$202,000 annually with adjustments at five-year intervals relative to the funding
strategy. The annual operator payments will be the source for the City's payments to
the Packard Foundation. On June 14, 2005, the funding strategy was approved by
Council with the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2005-06 budget.
The Child-Care Center, Project 06-35, was approved as part of the 2005-06 Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) with a total budget of $3.5 million from a combination of
services, including the CIP Reserve ($400,000), Construction/Conveyance Tax
($300,000) and the Packard Foundation PRI ($2,800,000). Council approved business
terms with CCLC in September 2005 and authorized the City Manager to sign an
agreement with the operator. The final steps of the financing were completed with the
June 27, 2006 Council adoption of a resolution approving the financing mechanism.
The center is designed to serve up to 104 children, including 8 infant slots, and will have
$50,000 annually in tuition subsidy provided by CCLC. National Association of the
Education of Young Children (NAEYC) standards will be met by the operator. Addi-
tionally, the center will include a family resource room to be used by the community to
disseminate information about parenting, local family resource agencies and child care.
In January 2006, the City Council approved relocating the project from north of the
Rengstorff Park tennis courts to west of the Senior Center. A site plan is provided as
Attachment l. The project consists of the following major elements:
Buildin�
--�
The 9,400 square foot building has a relatively long, rectangular shape to fit between the
Senior Center parking lot and the pathway from Escuela Avenue to Rengstorff Park.
Major building elements include seven rooms for different age groups, a director's
office, lobby, food preparation/staff area and a community/conference room that can
be available for public use. The building is designed anticipating the use of modular
building units fabricated off-site to reduce construction cost and duration. The lobby
and a long exterior corridor along the southerly side of the building facing the parking
lot will be constructed on-site (site-built) to provide a more attractive appearance on the
most visible facade. The site-built roof will be sloped to conceal the flat roof of the
modular building and materials and colors will be compatible with the Senior Center.
The main entrance will be in the southeasterly corner of the building to be visible to
City Council

incoming parents. A floor plan is provided as Attachment 2 and a perspective looking
northwest from the parking lot is provided as Attachment 3.
Parkin�
The parking area was constructed by the Senior Center contractor and is between the
child-care center and new Senior Center building. Fifteen (15) spaces are provided,
which are sufficient for child-care center staff. Parking spaces for dropping off and
picking up children, which typically occurs from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to
6:00 p.m., will be shared with the Senior Center, which typically has a peak demand
between 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
Pla� Yards
State child-care licensing requirements determine the overall size of the play yard and
require separate areas for children 0 to 30 months (infants and toddlers) and 31 months
to 5 years (transition and preschool). The children's play yard wraps around the
handball/tennis practice court west of the building. A 10' high fence and landscape
buffer will separate the court from the play yard and a 5' high fence will separate the
play area from the rest of the park. The play yard will be open to park users when the
child-care center is not open. The large oak tree west of the building and inside the
children's play yard is preserved by construction of a deck under the drip line to avoid
impervious surface and root compaction around the tree. An art fence and gate will
provide access to the play yard from the park.
The infant/toddler play yard is between the north side of the building and the allee and
will not be open to the public at any time. Construction of the infant/toddler play area
requires removal of three Heritage walnut trees. On September 20, 2006, the Parks and
Recreation Commission (PRC) approved the staff-recommended mitigation of
2:1 replacement with 24" box trees. The staff report and minutes are provided as
Attachment 4.

Approximately $320,000 has been spent to date on the design effort, including archi-
tectural and engineering fees and other professional services, and staff time. With
current funding of $3.5 million, estimated additional funding of approximately
$1.9 million is needed to complete the project. The budget shortfall can be attributed to
several factors.
� The original budget assumed a 7,000 square foot building based on a preliminary
estimate prepared as part of the Senior Center/Community Center Master Plan.
City Council

Page 5
The final building size, which is currently 9,400 square feet, is affected by factors,
including site constraints that dictate the shape of the building footprint, layout of
interior spaces during design and State-required program spaces for each age
group.
The children's play yard is built to the standard of City parks since it will be open
to the public.
Special design and construction measures have been taken to preserve the large
oak tree west of the building. These measures include an elevated deck to avoid
impervious surface and compaction under the drip line of the tree.
As with a number of other City projects, the child-care center design coincided
with a significant rise in construction costs.
The use of modular building units for a significant portion of the building helps offset
some of the cost associated with the increase in building size. The estimated square foot
construction cost of the proposed building is approximately $285 per square foot. This
compares favorably to traditional all site-built construction, which would likely be more
than $400 per square foot.
Parking Demands at the Site
The new Senior Center has proven very popular, with attendance of the nutrition
program and other activities higher than the old center or the interim center. As a
result, parking demand is high and both the Senior Center parking lot and the new
15-space lot built for the child-care center are often filled by Senior Center clients from
mid-morning to mid-afternoon. This demand does not coincide with the anticipated
drop-off and pick-up times for the child-care center but does coincide with the child-
care center staff parking demand of approximately 15 spaces all day, resulting in more
Senior Center clients parking on the street during peak times.
Relationship with Partners
CCLC has spent time working with the City on both design considerations and in
negotiating the business terms. They have been made aware of the cost estimates
exceeding the project budget and remain cor7unitted to the project awaiting further
notification of the status of the project. The Packard Foundation has requested that the
City be in a position to draw down the RPI funding by August or September 2007. If
the City is unable to meet this deadline, the current PRI will be invalidated by the
Foundation and they will consider a new application from the City without an
assurance it will be approved.

ALTERNATIVES
Appropriate Additional Funds
Staff estimates that additional funding of $1.9 million is needed to complete the project.
A surplus of approximately $1.0 million is available in the Senior Center project and
staff recommends that the remainder be funded with Construction/Conveyance Tax.
Reduce Construction Cost
The only opportunity to significantly reduce construction cost is to eliminate a portion
of the site-built building component. The roof over the covered walkway west of the
lobby can be replaced with a flat, modular roof, with a savings of approximately
$500,000. A black-and-white perspective of this option is provided as Attachment 5.
T'he flat roof of the modular building would be apparent, as would the rooftop ventila-
tion units. Staff does not recommend this option as it significantly impacts the appear-
ance of the most visible elevation of the building and deviates from the design objective
of compatible architecture with the new Senior Center to achieve an architecturally
integrated campus.
Defer Project
Council may elect to cease work and defer the project. Minimal expense would be
incurred installing temporary landscaping in the area set aside for the building and play
yard.
Discontinue Proj ect
If Council elects to discontinue the project, staff could prepare alternatives and cost
estimates for permanent improvements for fhe project site and notify the project
partners.
CONCLUSION
The child-care center is one of several major improvements included in the 2002 Senior
Center/Community Center Master Plan. The project design has been challenging due
to the relatively constrained site and surrounding improvements. If Council elects to
complete the project, additional funding is needed, though one option to reduce project
cost has been identified. Council may also elect to defer or discontinue the project.
Staff seeks Council direction regarding next steps for the project.

PERFORMING ARTS CENTER SECONDSTAGE - 500 CASTRO STREET
7:00 P.M.
(EXCERPT MINUTES)
6. NEW BUSINESS
B. CHILD-CARE CENTER UPDATE/REMOVAL OF HERITAGE TREES,
PROJECT 06-35
Mike Fuller, Capital Projects Engineer, stated City Council approved
relocating the child-care center from north of the Rengstorff Park tennis
courts to the northwest corner of the Senior Center parcel. Staff has
developed a conceptual plan for the project. The plan will require the
removal of three Heritage walnut trees which have been inspected by City
staff and an outside arborist and determined to be in poor condition Staff
requests the Commission forward a recommendation to City Council
approving a mitigation measure of 2:1 tree replacement with 24" box trees for
removal of the three Heritage trees.
Capital Projects Engineer reviewed the child-care center site plan and stated
the allee has been preserved,l5 new parking spaces have been added, a
30' landscape buffer will be placed between the parking lot and the Senior
Center, there will be a new pathway to the allee and there will be a play area
located on the westerly side of the building and open to the public on
weekends and evenings when the child-care center is not open. There will be
a fence surrounding this play area and the area will include play equipment,
a sand play area and a water feature, and rubUerized surface material will Ue
constructed similar to play areas in other City parks. A second, smaller
infant/toddler play area will be located directly north of the Uuilding. This
play area will not be open to the public as it is located in a somewhat
secluded area and there will be very few pieces of play equipment.
Capital Projects Engineer stated the three Heritage Ulack walnut trees in the
new infant/toddler play area directly north of the building are in poor
condition, partly as a result of poor pruning practices several years ago. Staff
recommends a replacement ratio of 2:1 with 24" box specimens. Capital
Projects Engineer stated it is important to note that the Senior Center project
landscaping plan includes the planting of 140 new trees.
Parks and Recreation Commission and Urban Forestry Board - September 20, 2006 Page 1
Attachment 4
Capital Projects Engineer stated the next steps in the project process would be
grading of the area during OctoUer and NovemUer. Council will Ue requested
approval of the project plans and specifications in January. At the same time,
Council will review the environmental documents, removal of Heritage trees
and the public art selection. In Apri12007, construction is expected to Uegin
and completion of the child-care center would occur by January 2008.
Commissioner Fernandez asked how Council would be informed of the
public comments from tonight's meeting. Capital Projects Engineer stated a
formal report will not be presented to Council, although the Commission's
minutes would Ue forwarded to them.
Commissioner Inks asked if the remaining walnut trees are also in declining
health and in need of removal. Community Services Director stated the
walnut trees are in varying stages of condition, though overall are not in good
health and may need to be removed at a later date. Commissioner Inks asked
if there will be a new fence near the handball court. Capital Projects Engineer
stated yes. Commissioner Inks asked if the handball court would still Ue
usable. Capital Projects Engineer stated yes.
Commissioner John asked what the difference is between the staff report
prepared in June versus the one prepared in SeptemUer. Capital Projects
Engineer stated parking spaces have been increased from 13 to 15 and the
distance from the parking lot to the Senior Center has Ueen reduced from
45' to 30'. The building is now 10' further away from the large oak tree to the
west. Commissioner John stated the 10' fence near the handball court may
not be visually appealing.
Cornmissioner Mussman stated he appreciates staff's thoroughness with the
information contained in the report.
Commissioner Fernandez stated that if the Coinmission agrees to the
2:1 mitigation ratio, where would the six new trees go in place of the three
removed walnut trees? Capital Projects Engineer stated the new trees would
be located along the northerly property line.
Commission opened the meeting for public comment.
Peter Messina, resident, stated he likes the reduction of the play area and
supports the removal of the three walnut trees. The removal will also result
in an increase in the size of the park area.
Parks and Recreation Commission and Urban Forestry Board - September 20, 2006 Page 2
Attachment 4
Alex EulenUerg, resident, stated he likes the proposed changes, especially the
allee. He asked if infant care can occur at the Teen Center since the Uuilding
is vacant during the day. He asked if the Packard Foundation could provide
funding for the replanting project.
An unidentified woman asked for clarification regarding the structures on the
left of the child-care center. Capital Projects Engineer stated they are benches.
The unidentified woman asked if there will be a fence l�etween the benches
and the building. Capital Projects Engineer stated no. The unidentified
woman stated some residents in the apartment Uuilding consider Pengstorff
Park as their backyard. She requested to avoid installation of a fence, if
possible. Park users might climb the fence in order to access or exit the park.
Commissioner John asked if funding has Ueen approved for the project.
Capital Projects Engineer stated yes, the child-care center, including the
mitigation planting, is funded.
Commissioner Fernandez asked if fencing is required since it is a child-care
center. Capital Projects Engineer stated yes, fencing is required around the
play area for security reasons. Commissioner Fernandez asked for
information regarding the suggestion of an infant care program at the Teen
Center. Community Services Director stated the Teen Center is currentiy
closed as it is being renovated. He added that were the Uuilding to Ue used as
an infant-care center, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to use the
building for other types of programs.
Commissioner Inks stated he supports the mitigation recommendation.
Commissioner Henderson stated she supports the mitigation
recommendation and landscape plans.
Commissioner Fernandez stated he supports the recommended mitigation as
there are plenty of trees to be planted as part of the Senior Center landscaping
plans.
On a motion made by Commissioner Mussman, seconded Uy Cominissioner
John, Commission voted 5-0 to forward a recommendation to the City
Council approving staff's recommended mitigation measure of 2:1 tree
replacement with 24" box trees for the removal of three Heritage trees.

SUBjECT: CHILD-CARE CENTER UPDATE/REMOVAL OF HERITAGE TREES,
PROJECT 06-35 .
R�COMMENDATIONS
Review the proposed mitigatian for the removal of three Heritage trees and reeommend
to the City Council a rnitigation measure of 2:1 tree re�lacement with 24" box trees.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
On January 24, 2006, the City Council approved relocating the child-care center from
north of the Rengstorff Park tennis courts to the northwest corner of the Senior Center
parcel. Since that time, the design team has refined the building, parking and play yard
layouts to provide additional parking. Staff has also developed a construction phasing
plan to m;n;m;�e conflict with the new Senior Center construction and operation. T'he
attached memos dated June 22, 2006 and September 7, 2006 (Exhibit A) outline the
refinements inade to the building, parking and play yards. A more detailed site plan is
provided as Exhibit B and reflects the removal of three Heritage black walnut trees.
The three black walnut trees proposed for removal are in the infant/toddler play area
nor�h of the cl�ild-care center building, as shown on Exhibit B. The trees were inspected
by a consulting arborist, the City Arborist and the Parks and Open Space Manager. The
consulting arborist, Ray Morneau, rated all three trees in poor condition and noted that
they are not candidates for rejuvenation by pruning. The City ArUorist noted t�zat poor
prtuzing in.the past has resulted in weakly attached branches that could break and that
the poor structure of the trees carulot be corrected by additional prurting. Because these
trees are not unique specimens, are in relatively poor condition and conflict with the
design of the child-care center, the design team will recommend to the City Council that
they be removed with the project. Proposed mitigation is 2:1 with 24" box trees that will
Ue planted with the project.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Kevul C. Duggan, City Manager
FROM: Michael A. Fuller, Capital Projeets Engineer
SUBJECT: CHILD-CARE CENTER UPDATE
In the june 29, 2006 Council Update, you provided the Council a mema and site plan
outlining the status of the child-care center project (Exlubit 1). T'his memo highlights
some recent project refulements. A revised site plan is provided as Exlubit 2. Staff is
scheduled to provide the Parks and Recreation Coinmission (PRC} with a project
update a�1d to request a recommendation for removal of three Heritage trees on
September 20; 2006.
Buildul�
Based on the recommendation of an arborist, the building has been shifted east
approximately 10', com�ared with the Jtu1e site plan, to protect the large oak tree to`the
west. The desigil team is also developing exterior elevations that �will m;n;m;ze the
"modular" look of the building and be compatiUle �vith the Senior Ceilter.
Parkin
Parking has been increased by two spaces since June for a total of 15 new spaces. A
30' landscaped liuffer will separate the parking area from the Senior Center. As noted
in June, parking will be shared with the Senior Center as the peak parking demand of
the two facilities do not coincide.
Pla� Yards
The most significant project refinement since June is the layout of the play yards. State
licensulg requirements require separate play areas for children 0 to 30 months (u-Lfants
and toddlers) and 31 months to 5 years (transition and presclzool). The conceptual
layout provided to Council in June showed a single play yard west of the building that
wrapped around two sides of the handball court and projected into the park, including
the area of the existing brick seat wall.
Kevin C. Duggan
September 7, 2006
Page 2
The refined layout separates the iwo play yards by moving the i.nfant/toddler area to
the nortllerly side of the building and reduces the size of the play area that extends inio
the park. Tlus change preserves the existulg north/south pathway from the handball
court and avoids constructing a retaining wall at the base of the mounded area near the
redwood grove. I�Z addition to preservulg park space, the new location moves the .
infants and toddlers away from the oak trees which drop acorns and leaves that were a
concern to the design team. This play yard will be available for public use v�T11en the
child-care center is not open.
T'he new infant/toddler play area north of the Uuilding requires removal of three
walnut trees of Heritage size that are u1 relatively poor condition according to the
arboxist. Th.ree existing wahzut trees will remain on the north side of the pathway (from
Escuela Avenue to the park), continuing to provide a buffer for the apartments to the
north. All of the oak trees in the project area are preserved. Because the infant/toddler
area is relatively small and is separated from the park, it is not proposed for public use.
Phasin�Plan
The phasing plan that provides for some of the early grading and utility work to be
performed by the Senior Center contractor has not cllanged. This plan will reduce the
clisruptive work that will be doile after the Senior Center is fully operational.
I'lease let me know if I can provide additional information.

On January 24, 2006, tlie City Council approved relocating the Child-Care Center to the
northwest corner of the Senior Center parcel. Since that time, the design team has
refined the building, parl:ing and play yard Iayouts to reduce impacts to existing park

licensing. This memo provides an update on the project and outlines the refinements
and phasing plan. The conceptual layout provided to Council on January 24 is �

Bu.i-ld�n-g
The blailding site is constrained on the north by mature wa]nut trees, on the south by
the Senior Center parking lot, on the west by a mature oak tree and on the east by the
new parking area. � These limitations dictate that the bu.ilding will have a relatively long,
rectangular shape. Since January, the building shape has been modified to provide
adclitional clearance on the north for preservation of three mature walnut trees between
the building and the allee. The new building layout is an L-shape similar to that of the
interirn Senior Center. .
The building dimensions were established anticipating modular building to reduce
coxistruction cost and duration. The building will be a permanent structure on a
concrete foundation and will not be elevated like the interun Senior Center. A long
interior corridor along the southerly side of fhe building facing the parking lot will be
constructed on-site rather than with modular units and will provide additional design
fle�cibility on the most visible facade. The rnain entrance will be in the southeasterly
corner of the buiiding to be visible to incoming parents. ,

The parking area is bettiTeen the child-care center and new Senior Center builcling. The
conceptual lay�ut presented to Council in January limited the parking to the Senior
Center garclen area and clid nat include any of the Senior Center futtzre expansion area.
Consequently, only six net new parlcing spaces were achieved. At that time, staff
advised Council that approximately 25 spaces were needed for �the child-care center.
Staff further evaluated the parking �requirements for the Senior Center and child-care
center and believes there is opportunity for shared parking because the peak demand
for parking at the Senior Center, typically between 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., does not
coincide with the times when most paren�s will be dropping off and picking up
children at the center (7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.). S afficient new
parking must be provided for child-care center staff and parents who are at the center
during the peak demand for Senior Center parking. The refined plan extends parking
over a portion of the Senior Center future building expansion area, achieving 13 net
new spaces with a 45' landscaped buffer between the Senior Center and parking area.
Expansion of the Senior Center is not precluded because a portion of the new parking
area can be reinoved in the future. At that time, replacement parking for removed
spaces and additional parking to serve the expanded Senior Center must be found. The
parking layout will be further refined after a parking analysis is performed as part of
fhe California Environmerital Quality Act (CEQA) review for the project.
Play Yard
State child-care licensing requirements determine the overall size of the play yard and
require separate areas for children 0-30 months (infants and toddlers) and 31 months to
five years (transition and preschool). The conceptual layout provided to Council in
january showed the play yard west of the building covering an area th�t included the
existing brick seating wall and the northerly half of the handball/tennis practice court.
The refined play yard plan pres�.rves the handball court by w;.apping arounu i�s
northerly and easterly sides. A 10' high fence and landscape buffer will separate the
court from-the play yard and a 5' high fence will separate the play area from the rest of
the park. As a rerninder, the play yard will be open to park users when the child-care
center is not open. The allee aligrunent is maintained, and the large oak tree west of the
building is preserved by .construction of a deck under the drip line to avoid impervious
surface and root compaction around the tree.
The brick seat wall will be removed and the mound on which it sits will be lowered to
provide a relatively level site for the play area. The seat wall will be replaced with
seating in t�e same azea but outside of the play yard. The allee will pass by the
northerly side of the play yard and connect with the pedestrian pathway network in

Rengstorff Park. This connection will help reinforce access to the parl< from Escuela
Avenue as envisioned in the master plan.
One of the challenges of the refined plan is preserving three smaller oaks at the
southerly end of the Play yard. The design team is evaluating yard layouts,
construction tec�uliques and maintenance issues associated with these txees in an effort
to preserve them. Purther refinements will be made based on this evaluation and the
recommendations of an arborist.
I'hasin� Plan
Staff developed a two-phase plan for construction of the clvld-care center to minimize
disruption to patrons of the new Senior Center. The first phase will include rough
grading of the building pad, play yard and parking area to be performed by the Senior
Center contractor. The grading of the play yard will remove the brick seating wall and
the rnound on which it sits and also fence the area for the child-care center coritractor to
use for stag�ng.
This first phase will be coxnplete by the end of 2006.
The second phase will include final coristruction of the building, play yard and parking
area and is scheduled to begin in spring 2007. Construction will likely take six to nine
months. �
