[4:14] Good evening.
[4:15] Nero Lopez, council members, the act for you today is simply to extend the interim ordinance
[4:20] that you previously adopted, intended to put standards in place to enact recent state laws regarding starter homes.
[4:27] This is $2 billion, $1.3 billion, and SB 684.
[4:32] Happened to poor, based on this legislative cycle, where any new laws will cause us to change these orientations in place again.
[4:40] That's always good to know.
[4:41] So, these should be in place for sometimes staff is currently working on a permanent ordinance.
[4:46] It's not the best ordinance.
[4:48] This intend to address a number of new state laws
[4:50] and fixes to our ordinance.
[4:51] Likely will come to you in the next three to four months.
[4:54] At this time, this currently just simply extends
[4:57] the inner mortgage.
[5:01] Thanks much. Do we have questions from council? Do we have public comment?
[5:09] Okay. Any comments from council? And if not, we'll get out of motion. I'll

[6:36] But Kristen, now you need to read the title.
[6:38] That's what I was referring to when I said the other time.
[6:43] Public hearing to consider adoption at the minute.
[6:45] I'm sorry.
[6:50] We read it for you.
[6:52] If I on behalf of Steve Clark, being an interim ordinance
[6:54] of the state council or the city council,
[6:56] extending ordinance number two, three, three, four
[6:58] to continue agency measures implemented Senate bill 1123
[7:02] from 2024, and assembly bill 130 from 2025,
[7:07] regarding ministerial approval of starter home projects.
[7:11] Thank you so much, and we've already made the motion to wait for the reading.
[7:15] Thank you.
[7:16] So that brings us item five, which is approval of the amendment to fiscal year 2026.
[7:21] Schedule fees and charges, and we will hear from Finance Director Wolff on this.
[8:05] All right.
[8:06] How do you think council?
[8:09] I will keep this a brief.
[8:14] the council approved all of the pays, all of our, all of the, these April, that for
[8:29] almost all of these in this year, they did include a seat, a seat P.I. adjustment.
[8:41] and there were a few of housing committees.
[8:49] And that's the idea of, forgot to include them in the adjustments.
[9:01] We were opposing a tonight.
[9:08] And that, we also do include laying a CPI adjustment upon those housing committees
[9:22] and has done our error,
[9:28] if the proof, because they are a development of these,
[9:45] they want to go into, they want to go into that for a few months.
[9:54] and they are more than a go into effort.
[10:00] I'm in fact in, in, in, in, in, in. In fact, on the. On the, uh, uh, uh, it's, uh,
[10:14] small, but then we have a CPI adjustment that is considered and assisted to the adjustment
[10:29] that occurred for all of them to be used in a draft.
[10:36] So with that.
[10:40] Thanks so much.
[10:42] First, do we have any questions from Council?
[10:47] I'm sorry, one real minor question on the, on the fee list, is that per development or per unit?
[10:56] I would direct it, but I can feel
[11:16] it.
[11:16] Okay, one more time.
[11:17] Council member, I'm sorry.
[11:18] Patrick, the question was the fees, but yeah, is the fee is that a per unit or a per development fee?
[11:25] It is, I'm going to have to, I, I oftentimes see that, these fees and it'd be helpful to know
[11:34] So if it's just a per unit or total project, so maybe just add that to the diagram on the
[11:43] future ones.
[11:43] I've seen this a couple of times, so if you could just thank you.
[11:47] I'm sorry, I'm always the answer right here.
[11:53] Any other questions?
[11:55] Thank you.
[11:58] If not, let's go to the, let's open the public hearing and then see if there's any other public
[12:04] wishing to speak.
[12:09] Okay.
[12:09] What close the public hearing? Is there any discussion from Council? If not, we can have a motion.
[12:14] No
[12:20] discussion, okay. I'll make a motion that we adopt a resolution
[12:23] amending housing development project permits, fee rates,
[12:27] reminder projects to be incorporated into the city's existing fiscal year,
[12:31] 2026 schedule fees and charges effective November 15th, 2025.

[12:50] And first off, does the deputy state clerk need to read the title for this window?
[12:56] Not for the.
[12:57] Okay.

[12:59] Great.
[13:00] So I'm going to move this on to new business, which is item six.
[13:03] and this is approval of the fiscal year 25-26 city of Campbell investment policy update and will be introduced to our speaker by finance director Wolfland.

[16:18] We are rumor, we are also over you of our,
[16:28] of our proo, of our close best grip,
[16:32] opinion objectives for the,
[16:37] and also, the, and,
[16:38] of the economy,
[16:45] our, our, our, our,
[16:47] For
[16:50] sure, our
[16:55] June was about just about 30
[17:17] or 30, and almost so,
[17:34] hey, we do see them.
[17:44] And it's in between the 8th cap and also a channel.
[18:03] we're able to work with them.
[18:07] As I remember, we're now for Alba,
[18:12] Alba, and the aether,
[18:14] and they've been helpful in,
[18:17] in, in,
[18:18] in us, usburing,
[18:20] and we're able to,
[18:40] we're able to,
[18:40] period of time,
[18:42] and they're,
[18:44] they've been helpful to,
[19:02] in fact, both of them
[19:08] are expected to increase over a time to
[19:16] about all of you on to,
[19:22] and also at the same time, a gentleman, they've continued to
[19:35] over the
[19:41] target chosen. So I understand the piece for me is to hear. I've also over
[19:55] room, a room, a room, a room, a room, a room.
[20:00] Pat January, Erin, from the out, the um,uh, kilowatt bill a update of our, part of,
[20:15] or Portfolio Underer and he'll also give a few like update on the
[20:27] economy and the overall impacts to account
[20:35] Aaron when I'm sharing this with you
[20:46] or all right thank you well so yes my name is Aaron I work with Chandler Asset Management and we work
[20:53] managing the portfolio for the city. I am the portfolio manager. So just a quick portfolio update where our main objectives really remain the same.
[21:02] We have our safety. We aim to provide liquidity and lastly we try to earn a competitive return.
[21:08] The portfolio is fully compliant with the investment policy as well as California government code.
[21:14] We follow a one to five year strategy. We aim to lock in attractive rates for up to about five years in total.
[21:20] So, the current portfolio as on the presentation that we'll had, we have a purchase yield of
[21:25] over 4%, it's currently at 4.10%, then that is generating meaningful income to the city.
[21:32] The way we measure ourselves is against a benchmark as well, and since inception we had outperformed
[21:37] the benchmark by about 28 basis points, so that's additional money coming back to the city
[21:41] that we're proud of.
[21:43] For a brief economic update, I'm just going to talk about inflation, the later market,
[21:47] the consumer and then the Federal Reserve. For inflation, it's been really sticky. It's kind of
[21:52] been a little bit more elevated than where the Fed wants it at a 2% level. It's currently fluctuated
[21:57] between 2.6 and 2.9%. A lot of that has to deal with the two main reasons. One is tariffs,
[22:03] which I'm sure we've all heard about in the news. The other is our shelter costs, which is our
[22:07] home prices, our rents. Those have remained elevated, which has created a drag on bringing down
[22:14] inflation, along with tariffs and the uncertainty of what's going to happen with prices, inflation
[22:19] is just kind of remained above that 2% target that the Fed wants.
[22:23] In other news, the labor market that has been in the headlines recently, the labor market
[22:28] has started to slow. In the month of August, the economy only added 22,000 jobs, which is
[22:33] very low. And over the past three months, the average has been 29,000. I'm sure some people
[22:39] didn't see the BLS revisions for the entire year. It was around 900,000 total jobs that were
[22:45] revised downwards. So we're starting to see a little bit more strain on the labor market,
[22:49] which is going to have an effect on the consumer. When we think about the consumer, it's been very
[22:54] resilient because it's been propped up by a strong labor market. Now that we're starting to see a
[22:58] little bit of deterioration, we can't expect the consumer to start to pull back a little bit more,
[23:02] and they're going to probably continue to up their savings. This is savings rate. It's been
[23:05] increasing. The highlight of the week that we're going to see on our side is the Federal Reserve,
[23:11] they meet tomorrow. We are expecting them to cut interest rates by 25 basis points. There is
[23:16] going to be a lot of eyes on how many dissents they're going to be because some people on the board
[23:23] are going to call for 50 basis points. However, we do think that it's going to be 25 at this meeting
[23:28] and there's two more meetings after the one tomorrow and we expect another 25 basis point
[23:33] interest rate cut towards the end of the year, so a total of 50 basis points of interest rate cuts by the end of 2025.
[23:40] And that will give us around to a target of around 4% of the Fed funds rate.
[23:44] So that's why another reason why we're locking in some of these longer term rates now before interest rates start to come down.
[23:50] Then I'll turn it back over to Will.
[23:51] with
[24:46] Chandler, and feel that they're a very solid custodian to be able to manage too.
[24:54] So I think it saw all of excellent and the finance committee we had approved it as well.
[25:01] We did, and I don't really have comments out about the substance, which I think makes sense, mostly minor updates here, but I also want to express my appreciation, how great it's been working with Chandler on this since they came on. So with that, do we have motion, second?
[25:21] I move the city council adopted resolution, approving the annual update to the city's investment policy for fiscal year 2526. Yeah, I'll second just to change it up. Yeah. Go ahead.
[25:44] Thank you for the presentation for being on mine, Erin.
[25:48] Yeah, of course.
[25:49] Thank you.
[25:50] And that brings us to item seven, which is the Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
[25:53] And we will hear from Recreation Community Services Director Nintosh Prasil.
[25:58] Good evening, Honorable Mayor, members of Council, I'm very excited tonight to have
[26:05] before you the final draft of Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
[26:09] This was a fiscal 25 work plan item that we are wrapping up now and we've had a long
[26:15] lengthy engagement process and we had the draft plan up for several weeks for the public and
[26:21] for yourselves to comment.
[26:23] So tonight before you is a final draft, however, there's something that comes out of the
[26:26] discussion this evening that needs to be changed, that it can still be modified.
[26:30] And online tonight I have Lauren Ivy Thomas from MIG who will be doing the presentation
[26:35] for you.
[26:36] So she is here and I'm going to pass it off to her to kind of take you through the process
[26:40] of our master plan and ending with how we got to our final document.
[26:45] Thank you, Dewey Lauren.
[26:49] Excellent.
[26:50] Thank you.
[26:50] Can you all hear me well?
[26:53] I'm calling in from Edith Morley Park.
[26:56] All right.
[26:57] Let's make sure we can share our screen.
[27:25] All right. Can you see this PowerPoint page, okay?
[27:32] Yes, we can.
[27:33] Excellent. All right.
[27:35] Thank you, Natasha, for that excellent introduction.
[27:38] It's been amazing working with you and your team.
[27:41] And retired Todd on the City of Campbell's first Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
[27:46] I'm Lauren Ivy-Thomas and the project manager for this from MIG.
[27:54] So our purposes here this evening is to talk about this master plan, overall what that
[28:00] purpose was, highlight everything that's in the master plan document itself, and then
[28:06] importantly note the edits that were made that resulted in the final draft that Natasha
[28:13] has mentioned.
[28:13] So the purpose of this master plan is to establish the city's first ever long-range plan for Campbell's Parks and Recreation System.
[28:21] It identified both system-wide and site-specific recommendations.
[28:26] It looked at the conditions of the parks, the physical conditions, as well as access to them.
[28:32] It outlined goals, policies for the community that are grounded in the Campbell's community values for parks and recreation.
[28:41] and they highlight actions to address priority initiatives, and it's going to serve as a guide for future decision-making investment
[28:50] park and rec projects and programs in the future.
[29:00] At a glance, the plan has six chapters and five accompanying appendices which will go through.
[29:07] The planning process began in spring 2024, and it has taken us to fall 2025.
[29:13] It's been a four-step process with our kickoff data collection and data analysis.
[29:19] This is where we started to look at the physical system itself reviewing existing plans
[29:23] and policy efforts related to parks and recreation.
[29:26] Then we did an extensive needs and engagement process assessment.
[29:31] This included that technical analysis of your system, community outreach,
[29:35] and identifying what those key needs are in order for us to provide the recommendations
[29:39] for the parks and recreation system.
[29:41] And phase three, we developed those recommendations.
[29:44] They're specific to both sites, as well as system-wide recommendations.
[29:48] And phase four is where we are now planned development and adoption.
[29:54] And throughout this, I will say that the community engagement has played a role in every step.
[30:02] We've had a variety of city interviews. We've had over 1000 individuals respond to our community-wide online questionnaire, which was a questionnaire that anyone could opt into. A company that was a statistically valid survey, which took a statistically valid sampling of your community with 400 responses. We worked with the city's youth focus group. The Natasha and her staff were able to go to a variety of pop-up events with
[30:29] materials to talk about the plan and we held two in-person community workshops all right so the plan
[30:38] chapters chapter one is an introduction to the to the plan itself it talks about the planning
[30:44] process it identifies related and influential planning efforts that we want this plan to build on
[30:50] and support in the future and it recognizes the city's existing vision and direction for parks
[30:55] recreation planning as well as highlighting values and benefits of parks in general for all communities
[31:01] Chapter two is our thorough review of the existing system itself.
[31:07] It describes Campbell in the context of its larger recreation system within the county
[31:12] and adjacent cities.
[31:13] It looks at the part classification system that identifies a part classification system
[31:19] so that we can understand the appropriate level of development for park sites in the future.
[31:24] It identifies key amenities, facilities, programs, and services.
[31:29] Looking at this, we looked at 15 of your park sites, city has 15, which is 77 total park
[31:35] acres and a total of 228 physical assets that we looked at.
[31:42] In the existing system chapter, we also look at not only the physical system itself, but
[31:47] also the programs and operations that the city runs to support parks and recreation.
[31:52] So looking at existing recreation program provided, who they're provided for, as well as understanding
[31:59] the maintenance and operations services in your parks and recreation service area.
[32:06] In chapter three, this is where we really delve into the needs of what we've identified.
[32:12] We talk about the community's profile, the priorities that we've understood through community
[32:17] engagement, as well as the needs that we've identified through our technical analysis.
[32:21] In this chapter, we talk about the city's demographics. We identified trends nationwide and
[32:27] regional for parking recreation planning. We mapped physical access to parks and
[32:31] Campbell, which you can see here in this image on the right, which is our access analysis
[32:35] with a 10-minute walk to the city's existing parks. And importantly for this project we included
[32:42] a health equity mapping analysis so that we could understand where existing conditions and disparities
[32:49] were, where there might be a prevalence of health conditions so that we can further understand
[32:54] and prioritizing those areas for recreation support.
[32:58] We identify needs for recreation facilities,
[33:01] specifically things like playgrounds, sport courts,
[33:04] needs for programming, which are the programming
[33:06] that Natasha's department offers.
[33:09] We look at needs for your maintenance and operations,
[33:12] understanding the staffing that's needed,
[33:14] the work that goes into these assets.
[33:17] And then also we looked at specific site needs
[33:20] for some of your major parks,
[33:21] including the Campbell Community Center Complex, John D. Morgan Park, and I believe the Creek Trail.
[33:30] In chapter four, we provide system-wide recommendations, and these are in five main categories.
[33:37] These are system-wide recommendations for all parks and facilities, for resilience and sustainability,
[33:45] for maintenance, deferred maintenance and operations, for the administration and management of the
[33:50] Park System and Recreation Programs activities and events.
[33:56] In chapter five, we delven to the site-specific recommendations for all 15 parks, as well
[34:03] as two park expansion and development projects that we've identified.
[34:08] Granted, the number of recommendations that this master plan provides, they're organized
[34:13] into these three categories.
[34:15] The majority of our recommendations are in the category of renovation and renewal.
[34:19] These are recommendations for the repair, updated replacement of existing facilities and amenities.
[34:26] After that, we have 39 facility additions or enhancements.
[34:30] These are projects that would add a new amenity or facility to an existing park.
[34:34] And then finally, we have two park expansion and development projects.
[34:38] These projects include acquisition, development, and partnerships to provide parks and trails at five locations in the city.
[34:45] And that's in direct response to the access analysis that we performed for the park access.
[34:53] Chapter 6 is our action and implementation on concluding chapter where we identify approximately 51.5.
[35:00] A million in capital funding needs to implement the 91 capital project recommendations that are included in this master plan. We understand that the cost of these far exceeds the funding available. And this, this chapter looks at how to provide that implementation. And just to break down, we want to clarify that planning level costs are planning specific. There's capital costs that represent a one-time
[35:29] cost for acquisition, building development, renovation or replacing part features is also
[35:35] maintenance costs and that refers to the annual and recurring costs for maintenance of the system.
[35:43] So for this action implementation as I noted, we have identified far more projects than are
[35:48] feasible to complete in the very near future. And so we've divided them into short-term, mid-term,
[35:55] and long-term projects. The short-term projects are those that we've prioritized based off of
[36:00] community engagement and our technical analysis for needs following that and those are those that
[36:06] should be implemented within the first five years of the master plan adoption. Our midterm projects
[36:11] are also a priority. Those should be within six to ten implemented within six to ten years of the
[36:17] park and recreation master plan adoption and then the long term projects which we see implemented
[36:24] more than 11 years after as funds become available. But it is important to note that as the
[36:30] city moves forward with these recommendations and their implementation, you know, funds arise and trends occur.
[36:39] So this master plan serves as a document of all recommendations and as funds become available, this city will be able to choose how to move forward with these.
[36:50] And so, to understand our prioritization tool of how we put these into the categories, we created a tool that step one was to align the recommendation with community values.
[37:01] and the community values were identified through our community engagement process which included the workshops, the online survey, the statistically valid survey, and the pop-up events.
[37:11] Step two was to align recommendations with the desired recreation of visitor experience that we saw that folks were wanting for the city of Campbell and how they wanted to experience parts.
[37:20] And then finally step three was the alignment of that recommendation with its fiscal feasibility and the impact that we will have on the whole system.
[37:30] In this chapter, we also identify potential funding tools.
[37:37] I'll briefly go through the five appendices that are included as part of this Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
[37:44] The first is the full inventory of the Parks and Recreation Physical Assets.
[37:50] So this is a detail and this graphic probably looks crazy on the screen right now.
[37:56] But this lists out all of your park sites, all of the physical assets they have inside
[38:01] of them, their acreage, as well as the park type that they are.
[38:07] We also provide our park condition assessment.
[38:11] So in 2024, I mean, and a wonderful colleague, Tucker McFall,
[38:17] we actually went out into the field on a very hot summer in Campbell,
[38:22] and we inventoryed the 220 assets looking at their physical condition
[38:26] and to understand how physical assets are performing in the city
[38:29] and this condition assessment documents those conditions
[38:32] at every single park site.
[38:35] We have the full health and equity assessment
[38:37] that I mentioned here.
[38:39] While we definitely include findings in chapter 3,
[38:42] you can look at the full health equity assessment
[38:44] including the appendix C.
[38:47] This talks about the prevalence of mental health challenges,
[38:51] chronic disease challenges, physical and activity
[38:53] and disability prevalence.
[38:54] and this helped us to understand what are the priority geographic areas that we might want to serve better.
[39:02] And then in Appendix D, we have our Capital Improvement Project list.
[39:06] So this is the full list of all 91 recommendations,
[39:10] capital recommendations for this project with their total planning level cost,
[39:14] as well as additional details about what that project entails,
[39:18] and its location where that project is located.
[39:21] And then Appendix E is our action plan.
[39:25] So this identifies those 91 recommendations,
[39:28] but it organizes them based off of the timeframe
[39:31] that are previously discussed with the short term, medium term,
[39:35] and long term projects based on their priority.
[39:39] It's important to note that this master plan has been available
[39:43] to the public for a decent amount of time.
[39:46] And the next couple of slides I'm going to review what we've heard and as well as what changes have been made for this final draft for this final master plan.
[39:57] So the draft plan was available on.
[40:00] On for review, for three weeks, we had an online comment card that anyone could complete. It was a detailed comment card where folks were invited to provide a comment and to specifically say where in that document that comment is so that we can understand where exactly it was and then any reasoning or description on that comment. We received 47 individual comments through this online comment card process. After that, the draft plan, Natasha presented it to the Parks and Recreation Committee.
[40:29] meeting on September 3rd of this month, where we receive some additional comments, and I'll go through those.
[40:38] So regarding public comments, we have made changes to the master plan that now address making sure
[40:45] full graphic pages are graphically clean and dynamically clear on what it's showing.
[40:53] We've also added national register of historic places to both Ainsley House, Campbell Museum
[40:59] and Heritage Theater, sorry, all three of those.
[41:02] Updating a couple of iris that we found in Table 2.2, we have some very keen-eyed community
[41:08] members.
[41:10] We reverted maintenance operational bullets, referring to turf conversion to implementing
[41:15] capital projects related to parks and open space.
[41:18] When we provided the health equity analysis, we originally used the term burden, and in
[41:25] our update, we've replaced that term with prevalence to, we don't want to imply that
[41:31] it's a burden on the community, but more the prevalence of these health conditions.
[41:36] We updated the Ainsley-Garden patio recommendation to indicate that it's going to be grass turf,
[41:42] that the grass turf is going to be changed to accessible patio space for year-round events.
[41:46] And we added language in the document to provide additional planting to improve the air quality and support biodiversity in the city.
[41:59] After this plan is presented to the commission, we provided additional edits to the document that the commissioners provided, which were excellent comments to be incorporated.
[42:09] So, we provided three new, more system-wide recommendations that were to ensure that parks
[42:18] as their plans and developed and improved include connected and circular walking paths,
[42:23] so that folks can get really used out of this, out of pedestrian mobility in their parks.
[42:29] We added a system-wide recommendation to add an additional sport court where it is feasible
[42:33] in the future, and we added a system-wide recommendation to provide additional interpretive
[42:38] signage and parks for things like native habitat areas.
[42:44] We also provided language to explore land development requirements and park deficient
[42:48] areas so that the city has some language to pursue to pursue park additional acquisition
[42:57] of park lands in those areas that we've identified as park land deficient.
[43:02] We added the open space authorities local funding program as an existing funding option.
[43:07] And we removed, we deleted the recommendation to remove the rose blush at the rose blushes
[43:14] at Hyde Park and changed that language to enforce low water sustainable plantings.
[43:24] So these are notes that we just want to clarify that these site-specific projects, for changes
[43:30] to our site-specific projects, our recommendations, we recommend they be included and we have included
[43:37] them but it will be dependent on city's council decision. We saw in a variety of our comments,
[43:44] particularly those online, that there were comments that this master plan should address climate
[43:50] related issues. However, that's not in the scope of this project. So, just wanted to clarify that.
[43:56] And similarly, safe access for bikes and pedestrians and around parks. That also is not quite the
[44:03] scope of this and we want to clarify that this plan is intended to work in tandem with
[44:10] the city's climate action plan as well as multi-modal transportation plan.
[44:16] One, a couple other additional items to note, as we received comments as there was some confusion
[44:23] regarding the term turf, in this document, turf means natural grass turf and we did provide
[44:29] clarifying language throughout the document, and we are not proposing athletic artificial
[44:35] turf.
[44:38] And then regarding budget, you know, Natasha added this excellent note that this master
[44:44] plan is providing a roadmap for future planning projects, and in many ways it's a framework
[44:50] for improvements.
[44:51] So we've identified, MIG has identified the three categories of recommendations, and when
[44:58] and we see that they could be implemented.
[45:00] But of course, as things change and evolve in your community, we would recommend that you pursue these recommendations as funds become available.
[45:09] And that is my presentation.
[45:13] Thank you, Lauren. So that concludes our presentation tonight. I'm happy to answer any questions that Council might have.
[45:24] Thanks so much for your questions from Council. Thanks,
[45:29] Natasha.
[45:29] At one point, I've seen a capital improvement of 21 million, and then I saw on a note
[45:36] it was 17 million, over five years.
[45:39] I didn't see it in the presentation.
[45:41] Am I interpreting that right?
[45:43] The capital improvement for all the projects in this plan?
[45:47] Yeah, over the next five years.
[45:49] The prioritized list.
[45:51] I would have to go into the appendices real quick and confirm.
[45:55] So, there's a short term list that says pick and choose from this 0 to 5.
[46:02] Yeah, okay.
[46:03] Alright, there it is.
[46:04] Yeah, there it is right there.
[46:06] Okay, so it's in the, it's in the pen, it's okay, thank you.
[46:11] Yes.
[46:11] Alright, and good to, good to see it.
[46:15] You know, we'll see what we can do in five years as far as that.
[46:19] And then just to clarify a question on your fees.
[46:22] My understanding that fees for parking rights currently include the operational expense and costs, but don't really include a depreciation or repair costs for services, right?
[46:35] That is correct. So in recreation community services budget, it includes all staff time and operational expenditures and randomly utilities for the whole campus.
[46:46] if it does not include maintenance and parks are part of public works, so two separate things.
[46:54] Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Councillor Boehme.
[46:59] Natasha, I didn't see any or I probably missed it.
[47:03] Comments about the community garden and it is morally park. Is that, was that looked at at all?
[47:09] It is part of the inventory for sure, so it was acknowledged and addressed. It was not something
[47:15] that came up very aggressively in community input as far as expansion or those types of things
[47:23] either.
[47:24] And do we still have a demand for space there?
[47:27] I know at one point there was like a waiting list for people to spend years ago.
[47:33] They did a revamp of the policies for that that went through the Parks and Recreation Commission
[47:38] and since that time, they have not had that same issue.
[47:42] There is a really good availability short-waving list kind of thing.
[47:47] So they're really on top of Becca.
[47:49] They are a does a great job of managing that.
[47:51] And it's not like it used to be.
[47:53] No.
[47:54] Okay.
[47:54] Thank you.
[47:56] Thank you.
[47:57] Gail Schmerz-Kazel.
[47:59] Thank you.
[48:00] I was very curious.
[48:01] Maybe I don't know if you haven't answered for this.
[48:04] But how often are the bleachers at the track utilized by large crowds?
[48:08] You know, were there filled up to a certain degree?
[48:12] not as frequently as you would imagine.
[48:15] So, I think when the Community Center Master Plan
[48:18] and the connectivity was done in 0506,
[48:22] during that time, we had Campbell Popp corner.
[48:26] It was the group, which was a big football group.
[48:30] And they, I think in like 18, 19 stopped their program.
[48:34] Sorry, I'm looking more suspicious, they expert on that one.
[48:36] So, since they haven't been here,
[48:39] it has not been as heavily used as prior years.
[48:42] It does get used during soccer season,
[48:46] but not, I mean, football was really what brought it out.
[48:48] And it used to be too sighted.
[48:49] So when we did the reband for those 506,
[48:52] we just did a single side.
[48:53] We took out half of it completely.
[48:55] Okay, yeah, just to follow up on more of this line of questioning,
[49:00] so about whether there was maybe the most popular,
[49:02] if it was the popcorn or a football,
[49:05] was it really, really filled out?
[49:06] Or was there always,
[49:07] like the biggest event that we had, whatever that may be,
[49:12] because I'm asking this question because I did see that there was a possible recommendation to actually remove some
[49:18] and then put in possibly some more exercise equipment.
[49:21] I thought that was an interesting option, so I'm just wondering if that happens,
[49:25] like how much would be wise to take away from?
[49:29] Yeah, I mean that would be, if that project would move forward,
[49:34] that would go through a public process.
[49:36] That is a challenging space because it butts up to neighbors, so being respectful and mindful
[49:41] of the neighbors who live on the other side of that fence, the bleachers do provide
[49:45] privacy and soundbreak barrier as well.
[49:49] We also host the Highland Games on our campus as well, and that was heavily used during that
[49:54] time.
[49:55] really for life it gets used so it depends on the special event
[50:00] That draws the crowd that comes out, but yeah, the traditional football we don't have on our campus right now. Okay, and so, so it sounds like there's always potential for a large event where we might actually need to utilize all of those. Okay. And then so my next question would be, are there either sites, potential sites for more exercise equipment at the community center, if we don't go with that one possible recommendation of removing some of the bleachers? Additional outdoor? Yes.
[50:28] is at the community center. There's always potential, so that would be, you know, a different
[50:36] project for you to be looking at. So, yeah, when the time comes for, like, a community center
[50:41] master plan, it could be a discussion point for you. Great. Okay, thank you. Uh-huh. Let's see
[50:46] if I have another one. Actually, I have a question for Brian. Can you please remind me that
[50:52] estimate yearly revenues this city should receive so long as Measure K gets the green light
[50:56] officially because I saw the 51 million big number needed to cover like the
[51:01] grand span of things. So I just want to kind of get a feel of you know the
[51:06] bear in mind to the 51 million includes 11 million of acquisition you know if
[51:12] we had the opportunity to purchase land in parked efficient areas this would be
[51:16] projects that we would go after right. So in more than 40 cents it's more about
[51:20] about $39.40 million, but I think across the board, I think every city in this county probably has the same amount of money and
[51:29] appreciating assets in their government facilities.
[51:32] So, yeah, I don't know the answer to the measure pay, though.
[51:36] Yeah, can you repeat the specific question?
[51:38] Oh, just like the bulk part figure when the estimate was originally in the information that this is approximately what we predict the early, it would generate.
[51:50] Thank you.
[51:51] Thank you.
[51:51] Thank you.
[51:54] Thank you.
[51:55] Thank you.
[51:55] Thank you.
[51:56] Thank you.
[51:57] First of all, I wanted to indicate I appreciate the community outreach that you as well as the
[52:02] Parks and Recreation Commission did to solicit public opinion.
[52:06] I know it's impossible to summarize everything, but I just wondered if you had any comments on ideas
[52:14] or thoughts or any consistencies at all on public comments, do they feel we were generally
[52:20] successful should we do more or less of this and that? I just I don't know if you can summarize
[52:25] those kind of things but I'd be curious if you had any comments. The online comment card with
[52:29] a 47 comments was probably 15 unique people so just keep that context in mind because the way we set
[52:37] up the comment card was for them to be very specific at a specific location within the plan
[52:43] And so those 47 comments, you know, you can dwindle down.
[52:47] There was half dozen, it doesn't, that were all in the air that we made on table 2.2,
[52:53] you know.
[52:53] And so kind of figuring those ones out.
[52:55] There were a few kind of one-off things about climate or things like that where it wasn't
[53:01] necessarily the scope of this master plan and it's also addressed for the city's climate
[53:05] action plan.
[53:07] And the other note that I had them add in about access, safe bicycle and pedestrian access
[53:12] coming into parks and again not necessarily the scope of this plan but also being addressed in a
[53:18] different format from the city of the multimodal transportation plan. We had some things about how
[53:24] we communicate out seemed to be a theme. We did a fairly decent job of generalizing what they
[53:29] were and those were the items that we kind of addressed in the changes and I tried to be thoughtful
[53:34] in the things that we weren't going to change that we at least publicly kind of stated why we weren't
[53:39] right.
[53:40] If they were very specific to a project, we generally stayed away from that because our
[53:46] consultants had already done the labor of capital costing, and that creates a domino effect
[53:51] if you're changing the scope of a very site specific recommendation, then they're going
[53:56] through the labor of re-costing all of that project, where every project will come through a public
[54:01] process.
[54:02] And we didn't determine that the singular comment was worthy of going down that path, right?
[54:09] Yeah, good. That was a nice summary, actually. Thank you very much for that. Thank you.
[54:16] Yeah, thank you all. All those are outflansers. I don't have additional ones. So if let's see if
[54:22] we have any public comment on this.
[54:28] Great. We'll close with a comment and bring it back for any
[54:30] discussion from council.
[54:36] Let's start on the side of the councilors.
[54:38] Thank you. So I understand we're very much about water conservation. We do have that
[54:46] giant log, and I saw that it was noted on the southern end of the communing center,
[54:50] converting it to much more friendly conservation, water conservation, whatever that may be.
[54:58] But I don't know how...
[55:01] I'm not an expert by any means in regards to trees, but I remember a certain person recommending maybe we could have an orchard somewhere in the orchard city. And so I just put out the comment that maybe that would be really fine, even if it's a very small heart, you know, but just actually planting some fruit trees and having a little mini orchard right there at the commissar for orchard city. So that's all. Thanks so much. Any other comments?
[55:28] Yeah, Councilmember Mike. Natasha and your team.
[55:32] And just very impressed with the thoroughness and extent of the report that you put together
[55:39] and it gives direction that we can review.
[55:42] So just a standing work on that and then great to have it done from Edith Morley.
[55:49] I'd love to be able to bike to Edith Morley.
[55:53] So that's just a perfect, perfect, I've already made my comments on that.
[55:57] I'm concerned about the 17 million, I just want us to look at that carefully and set the expectations, I totally understand the reasoning for that, I just want us to be able to manage that carefully, I don't agree with my council member that measure K is going to solve that, I think we need to be able to look at that carefully and come up with how we're going to approach it.
[56:26] And I know that you've heard this before from some of my predecessors with the fees that
[56:33] we're looking at.
[56:34] They cover the operational costs, but I think that they need to include some capital depreciation
[56:41] costs in those fees as well, but just an outstanding work in putting it all together.
[56:48] Thank you.
[56:50] I also just want to add my comments.
[56:51] This is one of the best documents I've seen in terms of the process and the community input
[56:58] and the final product. I really appreciate the transparency going through the comments that you released.
[57:04] And then I agree that the answer to the vice-president's question was extremely helpful
[57:08] in terms of providing even more insight. And so why did it or did it make some of those changes
[57:16] and help me also to re-contextualize where we are as a council in that and so with my feedback it's not so much to take apart specific projects or say we should or we should and I think it's helpful to start broad.
[57:33] Do the costing out of those capital costs and understand that for any of these we will have a public process and a full vetting.
[57:41] So, with that understanding the scope of this specific document, I think it's an excellent
[57:47] place and will be really helpful, and actually I appreciate comments that you made just
[57:55] now because they align with something that I was thinking about how much all this intersects
[58:01] with things like land use and things like public works, other issues that we talk, absolutely
[58:07] the multi mobility work that we're doing and so what I really appreciate is that now we have
[58:13] something that can integrate into those decisions and really have I'm really feeling that although
[58:20] these are separate documents we have an overarching strategy as a city I think this was the major
[58:24] missing piece we have a lot of great work that's been done in other areas but I think this is going
[58:31] put us in a really exciting place. So thank you for your work and the consultants for, you know,
[58:37] in some ways a long process, but I'm also pleasantly surprised by just the turnaround in which all
[58:43] so much work was done and really made significant progress. So thank you all for your work. And with that,
[58:52] I will accept a motion in a second to adopt a resolution of proving the Parks and Recreation
[58:58] Mr. Plan.
[58:59] So move.
[59:01] Second.
[59:02] Thank you.
[59:02] Say clerk, could we have the roll, please?
[59:06] Council Member Baibi.
[59:07] Aye.
[59:08] Council Member Heinz.
[59:09] Aye.
[59:09] Council Member Scazola.
[59:11] Aye.
[59:11] Vice Mayor Furtado.
[59:13] Aye.
[59:13] Mayor Lopez.
[59:14] Aye.
[59:15] Thank you so much.
[59:16] That passes and thank you again, staff, or your work.
[59:21] Today we have no unfinished business, and so we're on to our last item, Council Committee
[59:25] reports.
[59:26] and he wants to start his off if you'd like to report it.
[59:32] I don't have anything to report.
[59:34] Other than I want to thank Councilmember Hines
[59:35] for attending the City's Association meetings
[59:38] for me at the last minute.
[59:41] Thank you.
[59:42] Go ahead, Councillor Hanks.
[59:44] Okay, thank you very much.
[59:45] I just want to emphasize the DCBA
[59:48] as a wine walk coming up on September 18th,
[59:52] just a couple of days.
[59:54] So they've really done an excellent amount of work
[59:57] and putting that together.
[1:00:00] And can't do that without showing the October fest. Let's come it up in there as well. I did attend the CASSE on 9-11 where there were a fair amount of good discussion around the final bills that are being done. And then I just wanted to do a shout out to the chamber and the economic development work that's being done in Campbell. One of the cities was celebrating finally having the ribbon cutting. Seriously, they're celebrating it.
[1:00:29] With the chamber, we have one a week, so it means that there's a new business that's
[1:00:35] opening up once every week, so just to excellent work on that, I had a me and 150 other people
[1:00:44] enjoy the Hope Services Fund Racing event yesterday, just put on by Kyoto Palace and just
[1:00:52] a great work on that.
[1:00:53] I wanted to do a shout-out to my favorite arborist, Abel, for a quick response to a constituent
[1:01:00] that was having an issue with the Canford Trees in our area, so I just want to really
[1:01:07] able to do a great job of being able to respond to that quickly. I went to the 100-year
[1:01:12] anniversary of the birthdays and the chamber at Merrill Gardens and Ainsley House. I'll
[1:01:19] celebrate it under a year, so just for great. Final shout out to Lacan de Sorrento, great
[1:01:24] Italian restaurant. Really, I encourage you to try, you know, right Campbell, I encourage
[1:01:30] you to try the Ravioli, the arugusta. Sorry, you don't have to get Italian to pronounce
[1:01:37] it right. And they're tiramisu. Thank you. Thanks so much. Councillor Esquizola, do you
[1:01:42] want to continue and maybe give us some pointers on Italian? I'd never do that.
[1:01:47] All right. So first off, Silicon Valley Clean Energy. So, if you're SVCE customer, get ready, you're going to get a bill credit, and it was $33 million until it's a pretty big, big removal for our customers this year.
[1:02:04] I also attended the VTA Policy Advisory Committee, and I also attended the Centennial Chamber of Commerce event, which was quite lovely.
[1:02:14] That's it.
[1:02:16] Thank you.
[1:02:17] Vice Mayor Fritano.
[1:02:18] I don't have a report.
[1:02:19] Okay.
[1:02:20] I also want to share that I attended the Chambers 100th anniversary event, what a fun
[1:02:29] event.
[1:02:30] It was my first time being in that particular space within Merrill Gardens.
[1:02:34] I thought what a great asset here.
[1:02:38] You walk around.
[1:02:39] There's all the vibrancy with the shops and you go inside and there's this great beautiful
[1:02:43] community space that is new and maintained. So it was great that the residents could be there.
[1:02:49] We had some special guests and then so many people from the community. Really a unique event.
[1:02:56] Congratulations.
[1:02:59] Mainly for me, a few different VTA events and committee meetings. The main one
[1:03:08] And then I'll share is that at our September 4th VDA Board meeting, we essentially, as a board and as a county reaffirmed or re-opted in on our commitment to SB 63, which is the five county regional measure and the opportunity for that to be put on the ballot as this is an initiative.
[1:03:32] there were some changes in legislation which actually strengthened it in terms of protecting
[1:03:39] the funding that's going to come back to Santa Clara County and that
[1:03:46] bargaining result in greatly reduced volatility. So if there's upturns or downturns,
[1:03:51] our revenue is protected and we'll come back to our county. That was the result of
[1:03:55] intense negotiations and so it did mean that the out of technicality, the previous motion,
[1:04:01] the board had made, which I recorded on a month ago, had to be re-upped, but for a good reason.
[1:04:10] In this case, and that bill did pass out of both houses of the legislature and is now waiting
[1:04:16] to governors. So, you're sure, and I'm always happy to chat more. People have questions. It would
[1:04:21] be if it qualifies it'd be on the November 2026 ballot. And those are my reports.
