Council Member Lopez.

Council Member Hines.

Present.

Council Member Scazzola.

Here.

Vice Mayor Bybee. Present. Mayor Furtado.

Here. Tonight for the Pledge of Allegiance, we are going to honor Information Technology Professionals Day. And I'll call on two members of our IT department, our interim director, Ryan Favilla, and our systems administrator, Andrew Nassera, to lead us in the pledge. Members of the Information Technology Department provides special service to us in making sure that our online systems are secure and up to date with the latest software. And they do a great job for us and for our police department, especially for their specialized equipment and records keeping. So invite you to please lead us to the Pledge of Allegiance.

Ready? Okay. I pledge allegiance to the flag, the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Thank you both and the other members of your department as well for the work that you do for us. I'd like to present you with these certificates. You think I should be able to open up a certificate? Brian, thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. And for the work that you do for the city. You'd like to say something? I'd like to say something.

Mayor Hurtado, members of council, I want to thank you guys for recognizing IT Professionals Day. As you all may know that the city relies on secure infrastructure, quick response time on tech support, and also a reliable data system. And recognizing us truly reflects your commitment to to acknowledging our our work behind the scenes so we appreciate your continued support and and thank you thank you all thank you very much and as a fellow i.t professional i really respect and i'm impressed with the work that you do so congratulations thank you

And I also want to offer my appreciation for all that you do. It's a small department, but one that literally touches on every aspect of the city as an agency, and both in terms of our residents, everything from being called in real time to troubleshoot something at a meeting, to keeping us safe from cybersecurity, cyber attacks, and all that. So thank you for the work that you do that goes well beyond your department.

And I'll also say thank you too. And it's not some of the visible, the larger things that you do, but it's the smaller things that you do like batteries and, you know, replacing or finding us cords to plug in when our laptops are low on battery. So thank you very much.

And I'm sure you've heard this joke before, but I appreciate you telling me to unplug the computer, 10 seconds, plug it back in. I need you for that. Thank you guys.

We have no special presentations or proclamations this evening, and we have no communications and petitions. So now we go to oral requests. This is the time on this evening's agenda to address the city council on any item of business that is not on tonight's agenda. Does any member of the public wish to address the council on an item not on tonight's agenda? Okay. If you're going to address something that's on the agenda, then that is on the agenda. No, that is not I'm sorry, you're to address us on this matter. Please use the microphone. Yes.

come up to my attention as well as my neighbors about the current SB 1123 and the changing of the fabric of our neighborhood. My husband and I, well, my husband bought this home that we live in on Holmes Avenue. That is two homes are set for demolishment and possible multi-unit homes being put in those single lot or single lots. We're completely anti this as well as all of our neighbors that I've talked to. It's complete overreach for what we signed up for. You don't have citizens input on that. It was all decided without anything from us that is contrary to who we are as Americans. It gives power to the government to make massive changes without any of the citizens approval. And it also takes away your power. And that should not be allowed. Really, it incentivizes high density, increases parking, puts pressure on the grid, the sewer, the lines. It can't be tolerated, cannot be tolerated. We already have changes in our neighborhood with respect to ADUs. To have multiple units in one lot, it just can't be allowed. I just can't be allowed. It just changes everything and it's not what we signed up for. It's not fair. That's all I have to say.

I appreciate your comments and I'll refer the matter to staff to get back to you, especially for the definition of vacant lots and so on. I will say to you, and you did point it out, that a provision of that particular bill has restricted local jurisdiction. We're not allowed to send a notice to the neighbors that it's happening. It is a ministerial act. It is required. It cannot be referred to the planning commission for review. And strangely enough, it cannot be referred to the city council for review. If they meet the requirements of the law, then it's required to be approved. It's Doesn't mean y'all can't complain. It is a part of the state law, unfortunately. But there are some definitions about vacancies, vacant lots, and so on. I'll ask the city staff to get back to you on that.

I mean, it would change our city. It would change Campbell. It would no longer be the sweet town it is.

I hear what you're saying, yes. Thank you.

ma'am if you could fill out a speaker card right there on that table just so that we have your contact information to follow up with you thank you

And I thank you for bringing this up. I really do, because ultimately this falls in the hands of Sacramento. So we're not trying to pass a buck here, but I would very much encourage pressure being put on our state representatives because they're the ones in Sacramento that are creating these new laws that are, well, arguably destroying a lot of communities. So I think if they have voices like yours and if you can gather many, many more people to have the same voice at the state level, perhaps something can be done. Although even I'm skeptical at this point. Thank you very much. So I appreciate you coming here and saying that.

Does anyone else wish to comment under oral requests? Is there anyone online? No one's online. Okay. So now we'll go to council announcements. The first one is, again, I'm pleased to invite you to the City of Campbell's annual State of the City Address. This will take place tomorrow night. The doors will open at the Orchard City Banquet Hall, 1 West Campbell Avenue at 6 o'clock, and the program will begin at 6.30. And I request that you consider joining me and my colleagues on the City Council, members of the city staff, for this year's State of the City Address. The second announcement is, are you passionate about making a difference in Campbell? Consider getting involved in one of the city's boards and commissions. This is a great opportunity to share your ideas, contribute time and expertise, and to help shape the future of the city. To learn more about available opportunities, anyone is invited to contact the city clerk's office at clerksoffice at campbellca.gov, or you may call the city clerk's office directly at 408-866-2117. The third announcement, let's come together to protect and preserve one of Campbell's most cherished natural resources, the Los Gatos Creek. And you're invited to join Council Member Terry Hines, who's coordinating the effort here in Campbell, for a hands-on community cleanup at Campbell Park, located at Gilman and Campbell Avenue on Saturday, September 19th, from 9 to 12. And together, we can make a visible and lasting impact and improvement while helping our city community present a clean and beautiful appearance. Pre-registration is required. To participate, register at www.cleanacreek.org. And be sure to reference site number one. So we hope to see you there. The next announcement is that Campbell On Sale will take place in October. We invite you to join the fun for the City of Campbell's annual citywide garage sale. That will be on October the 3rd from 8 to 4. The annual garage sale encourages the sale of reusable items rather than discarding them to the landfill. The event promotes public awareness of solid waste and the importance of recycling. You may visit the city's website at campbellca.gov to find out more. And finally, the October Fun Run, which we hold every year, will take place this Saturday in connection with the Oktoberfest, sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. That will be on Saturday, October 17th. Registration is open now. Please visit campbellca.gov slash recreation to learn more. Those are tonight's announcements. So now we move to the consent calendar. These are items 7.1 to 7.6, which the council will take as a single item of business, unless a member of the council, a member of staff, or a member of the public would like to pull an item for additional discussion. Would anyone, first of all, any one of the city council like to pull an item?

I don't want to pull an item, but I just want to thank the Council for considering this item 7.6, the water tower lighting in honor of breast cancer awareness. I appreciate that.

Thank you. Would any member of the staff or public like to pull an item? I don't see any. So we now will move to the consent calendar and request that we take this as a single vote.

I'll move to accept items 7.1 to 7.6 as a consent calendar.

I'll second.

The motion is by Council Member Hines, the second by Vice Mayor Bybee. Roll call, please.

Council Member Lopez.

Aye.

Council Member Hines.

Aye.

Council Member Scazzola.

Aye.

Vice Mayor Bybee. Aye. Mayor Furtado.

Aye. Thank you. We now go to public hearings and the introduction of ordinances. The item on the agenda is item 8.1. This is a public hearing to consider the adoption of an ordinance extending the interim ordinance number 26-2354, which continues the implementation of Senate Bill 450 as modified by Assembly Bill 1061. In order for this item to potentially pass, it requires a four-fifths vote of the council. Both I and Council Member Hines must recuse ourselves from this particular item in terms of discussing it. My conflict of interest has to do with the fact I owned a property and historic property is one of the items under consideration within this particular ordinance. And I'll let Council Member Hines state his reason for recusal.

Yeah, if they're recused as the property that we reside in is owned by the trust that Mary and I are the trustees for.

Thank you. With both of us recusing ourselves and this item requiring four-fifths vote, if it's going to pass, we must invoke now the procedure called rule of necessity. And that will mean that either Council Member Hines or myself will be selected to remain as a member of the voting body. And in order to do that, the city clerk will ask us to draw straws once again. Order straw must leave.

Oops, I guess.

Okay. Planner Daniel Farmer.

Thank you. Good evening. Before you is an interim ordinance that would extend the interim ordinance number 262354 that was adopted by the City Council at your August 3rd meeting. This interim ordinance continues implementation of Senate Bill 9 slash Senate Bill 450, which governs single family development and subdivision. At your August meeting, you adopted an alternative version of that ordinance that applies design standards to only new homes and not additions. That ordinance is set to expire on Thursday, September 17th, and without an extension, would no longer be in effect. The extension before you would extend the ordinance for a period of 10 months and 15 days, the maximum allowed by law. However, in practice, we will likely be back later this year or early next year. The legislature did adopt Assembly Bill 2601, and that has been sent to the governor for his consideration and signature. If it is signed, then there will be additional revisions to this body of law that will need to be addressed locally. But for now, staff is recommending that the council adopt the interim ordinance extension that's included in your packet. And with that, if you have any questions, I'm here. Thank you.

Thank you, Daniel. First, I'll ask if any members of the city council have any questions.

Okay.

Seeing none, I will now request that if there is a member of the public that would like to comment on this item to please come forward. Do we have anyone online? We do? We do not. So there is no one online. There is no one here in the chamber. So now we'll move to council discussion. And so any member of the council may make a comment or discuss this further. I DON'T SEE THAT ANY MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THIS ITEM FURTHER. THEREFORE, WE MOVE TO POTENTIAL ACTION. DOES SOMEONE WISH TO MAKE A MOTION ON THIS MATTER? I'LL MOVE THIS ITEM. YES.

I'LL SECOND.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO MOVE THE ADOPTION. ROLL CALL, PLEASE.

COUNCILMEMBER LOPEZ.

AYE.

COUNCILMEMBER SCUZZOLA.

AYE.

VICE MAYOR BIBE. AYE.

Four members having voted in the affirmative, the ordinance is adopted. Notify Council Member Hines that he can come. Do we need to read the title? I'm sorry, we need to read the title, okay.

Being an interim ordinance of the City Council of the City of Campbell, extending Interim Ordinance Number 26-2354, implementing Senate Bill Number 450, as further modified by Assembly Bill Number 1061 from 2025, and incorporating revised uniform objective zoning subdivision and design standards for the single family residential zoning district.

I'll move further reading of the ordinance.

Second. We have a motion and a second that further reading of the ordinance be waived. Roll call, please.

Council Member Lopez.

Aye.

Council Member Scazzola.

Aye.

Vice Mayor Bybee. Aye. Mayor Furtado.

Aye. Thank you. And Item 9.1 is the Annual Investment Policy Update. And the staff presentation will be made by the Assistant Finance Director, Narit Vaughan.

For the city, I'll be here to present to you item 9.1, the annual update to our investment policy for fiscal year 26-27. We do a review of our policy every year and update it per state and city municipal code. Along with me tonight also is our consultant from Chandler. As previously mentioned, the review of our investment policy is updated on an annual basis. The investment policy itself controls what the city is able to invest in, what we're able to purchase and unable to purchase. It also controls our objectives as well as our goals to ensure we meet best practice. The update and the review of the investment policy is presented to the Finance Subcommittee on an annual basis prior to our meeting with Council. And in this case, we presented the changes to the Finance Subcommittee on August 24th. There were two minor changes to the investment policy as shared within the agenda packet. The subcommittee agreed with staff's recommendation and had several questions for staff and for Chandler in which we responded within that meeting. As it relates to our investment portfolio, as of June 30, 2026, the city's investment portfolio amounted to just over $67 million, in which we are earning over 4% with the entire portfolio, which includes funds that we have in LAFE and CAMP. and also with with Chandler. We've been with Chandler for the last two years and have been satisfied with their performance thus far, in which they've outperformed both Leif and Camp. And so at this point, I wanted to turn it over to Chandler so that they have the opportunity to present to Council the city's portfolio, as well as the performance update. Thank you.

Thank you. Are there any questions on this matter? Does any member of the public wish to speak on this item? I see no one in the room, and there's no one online. Thank you, Norit.

Yes, Aaron is also going to speak. My apologies. I'm sorry. Aaron, our consultant from Chandler, is also going to speak just briefly.

Yeah, I'll just give a brief update. Nice to meet everyone. But the two changes that are happening, one is just to commercial paper and what we're able to purchase. It's just extending from 270 days out to 397. So it's going from nine months to 13 months. That doesn't really impact the portfolio at this moment too often because we don't purchase that much commercial paper. But in the future, that gives us flexibility just in case the rate environment changes. The other change in the investment policy is that sunsetting clause, a sunset expiration date went out in 2026. We updated that to the new 2031 per California government code. So both of these are very minor changes. And just to make sure that we stay very much in line with with California government code and making sure that we have all the Everything in line. So those are the two things. And then for the portfolio itself, I'm just going to give a very quick update. We've continued to outperform the benchmark by about 40 basis points. So we're out. We're overperforming what you could earn in a one to five year benchmark. And that does outperform what Leif and Camp are doing as well. And then from an economy standpoint, the Fed does meet tomorrow. We're expecting a Fed rate increase by one or by one hike. So 25 basis points. And then outside of that, the labor market continues to remain very strong and inflation has started to cool off, which is a good sign. So overall, the economy is running very, very, very well. But we do expect a rate increase tomorrow because inflation has just been a little bit higher than what the Fed has wanted over the past 18 to 24 months.

Thank you. Thanks.

What is the... Oh, and at this point, my presentation is complete as well. Thank you. Okay.

What is the pleasure of the council? Yeah, I'll just make a brief comment. Note that as a member of the Finance Subcommittee, along with Mayor Furtado, did participate and had some questions. The changes are very minor, but I just want to express personally my appreciation for Chandler. I think they've been... doing an excellent job in this capacity. And apart from the updates themselves, just we had a helpful kind of macroeconomic update and outlook. And so continue to appreciate their services. Thank you.

Yeah, I just wanted to note the 4% increase that you're seeing on that. That's in a very conservative portfolio is just outstanding to be as I think it was the 40 basis points ahead of the market. So just really fantastic to see that. And I too have had many years of experience working with Chandler in other capacities. So just terrific on that.

Thank you, thanks very much. Do we have a motion?

I'll make a motion to adopt a resolution approving the annual update to the city's investment policy for fiscal year 26-27. I'll second.

Motion by .

Please.

Councilmember Lopez, Councilmember Hines, Vice Mayor Bybee, Mayor Furtado.

Sorry, my microphone is muted, but I did vote aye. Thank you, Noreet.

We now go to item 9.2, the proposed modification to the council policy section 14, theater use policy. And the staff presentation will be made by our Recreation and Community Services Director, Natasha Bissell.

Good evening, honorable mayor, members of council. So tonight before I have before you some pretty minor changes to council policy number 14 for the theater use policy. Some of the main items in there, we have found more recently if, A rental client who has a ticketed event chooses to counsel their event within the timeframe. There's a lot more work involved in managing those ticket sales. So modifying the language around those cancellation fees so that the city can recoup some of the revenue or some of the expenses associated with managing that cancellation. Our new ticketing software also does not handle consignment tickets and we had some language in there about that that we'd like to remove. Also limiting complimentary tickets. There's a lot of third party sales that take place. And so by limiting that it kind of keeps the management of all the tickets and how they come through our doors with the box office. And then a few other minor changes to that policy. This is just so that staff that work out there can work effectively with rental clients when they come in. And that concludes my presentation.

Thank you. Any questions by members of the council? Seeing none, does any member of the public wish to speak on this matter? I see none in the room. I'm not sure if there's anyone online. No one's online. What is the pleasure of the council?

I will make a motion to adopt a resolution approving the proposed modifications to council policy section 14 theater use policy effective September 16th, 2026. I'll second.

Council member Lopez, council member Hines, Vice Mayor Bybee, Mayor Furtado.

Adjustment, replacement, a budget adjustment to fund the replacement of the blackout shades for the Heritage Theater. And once again, we'll ask our Recreation and Community Services Director to give the staff report.

Good evening. So last year we brought before you a budget adjustment request to use the Preservation Enhancement Fund for a variety of projects. One of them was to replace two of the blackout shades within the theater that were malfunctioning. The intent was to replace the fabric with a zipper lined roll up. And after further inspection, after that was improved with the selected vendor, the existing motorized component was not gonna work properly with that new type of fabric. So we made the decision to replace the motor portion of the shades as well. Since these are original to the building from 2004, fabric matching is very challenging. We did the best we could, but it is very obvious to the naked eye when you walk in that two have been replaced. And so tonight I'm asking before the council to use a budget adjustment to replace six more of the 10. So there's 10 total windows. We've already replaced two. The Friends of the Heritage Theater, which is a nonprofit group, has already approved two to be installed. And that donation will be coming shortly before council soon. So this would be the remaining eight or the remaining six. I apologize to so that it would be uniform throughout the interior of the theater. um and there is um enough money and the unaudited amount of the preservation enhancement fund at the end of the fiscal year to accommodate the request and that concludes i'm happy to answer any questions once again i thank you sounds like a good move for us are there any questions from the council i see none uh would any member of the public like to speak in this matter

I see no one in the room, and we have no one online. So what is the pleasure of the council?

So I'll make a motion that we approve the council resolution authorizing a budget adjustment to fund the replacement of the remaining six blackout shades at the Heritage Theater.

I'll second. Motion by Vice Mayor Bybee, second by Councilmember Lopez. Roll call, please.

Councilmember Lopez.

Aye.

Councilmember Hines.

Aye.

Vice Mayor Bybee. Aye. Mayor Furtado.

Aye. Thank you once again. We now move to item 9.4. This is accepting funds from the Santa Clara County Library District for Measure O, the Campbell Library Renovation Project 23-SS. And the staff presentation will be made by our Public Works Director, Amy Alley.

Good evening, honorable mayor and members of the city council. With item 9.4, we are requesting adoption of a resolution to accept the reimbursement in the amount of $268,389 from the Santa Clara County Library District and to authorize the finance director to make related budget adjustments. So a little background on this is that these costs stem from library initiated improvements. So construction was already well underway. And these improvements include electrical revisions and structural adjustments as they were building the children's play area. and some security upgrades and AV improvements. And so we already had a contract underway. It didn't make sense for us to adjust because a lot of these were not part of the city project scope. And the library then agreed that they would reimburse us for the cost spent on these improvements. So financially, the reimbursement eliminates the project's shortfall in the library project budget and leaves a remaining balance of about $87,000 that we propose that it be returned to the measure of fund to be used for some plan, civic center area, perimeter improvements off-site improvements that we had discussed a while ago as we were putting together the measurable project um and so that with that this concludes my presentation and i'm happy to take any questions thank you amy any questions by members of the council yes so amy the uh remaining 87 000 is for exterior is that like the sidewalk

Or is that the garbage?

It could be any of those. But we are also looking, because right now we're working on the phase two of the PD building, right? The PD's previous space. And we are running into some issues. And so we really need to look at what the overall budget is. But the goal is that we could have this $87,000 to be used for some of those off-site improvements. So at this point, we don't really have that full cost accounting. I can't, I don't have those numbers just yet because construction is still underway with the phase two project.

But is it anticipated that there will be excess, these excess funds will be used for the exterior improvements rather than into the PD second phase?

Like I said, that's what we are putting this money aside for that. but there's no guarantee. There isn't because construction is still underway with the phase two. So I can't commit that we will have enough with the current budget that we can complete all the work there.

Okay, thank you.

Any other comments by council members?

So the total amount of the refund from the library was, I'm sorry, if you could know 268 68,000, which 87,000 was in addition over what you needed. Is that my understanding?

Well, with our library fund balance, we had a shortfall, right? And because of that, so the shortfall from the library funds $181,000. Okay. And so with the library's $286,000, that means that we have an excess of $87,000. Okay.

Thank you.

Perhaps you can give us an update on the proposed expenditure of the extra funds as it becomes clearer how that might work best for us. I'd appreciate that.

Yes, we will.

Thank you. No other questions by members of the Council. Any members of the public wish to speak? I don't see anyone in the room. No one's online. Okay. What would the Council like to do next?

I just want to make a comment. I support the recommendation, but I really would like to see some priority given to the excess being applied to the remaining site improvements because, again, there's going to be a shortfall there. And I think it's important that we address that.

I would agree with that myself, actually.

I see that there are

several landscaping areas there which need some improvement and sort of befit the quality of the buildings to have the exterior likewise of equal shape. So hope we can do that.

Yeah, I'll just concur with my other council members and also want to thank the being able to work with the Santa Clara County Library and continuing to build a strong relationship with that. And they wouldn't have given us the refund, the money back if they didn't, if we didn't continue to have that good relationship with them. So congratulations on that.

And I would return the comments that the mayor said at the outset, which is that it would be great for the council to receive an update on as we get closer to seeing how those funds are expended. And I just think we need to have the holistic picture of the overall project. And I don't want to I can't sit here today and dictate the process, but some level of input into that. what that looks like if we have limited means by the end of it.

Yeah.

Maybe I could just add to that, not to belabor that discussion, but we fully intend to continue to update the council as this project proceeds. I think Amy's trepidation is when you have an existing facility, much like when we did the library and we start uncovering things or SB remediation and things that were not NOT NECESSARILY ANTICIPATED AND SO WE'RE HEDGING AGAINST SOME OF THOSE THINGS. BUT WE WOULD FULLY ANTICIPATE COMING BACK AND REPORTING TO THE COUNCIL OF COST ACCOUNTING AS THAT PROJECT PROCEEDS.

NEW SPEAKER THANK YOU. WOULD SOMEONE LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION?

NEW SPEAKER SO MOVE THAT THE COUNCIL ADOPT A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING Accepting the reimbursement from the Santa Clara County Library District for Measure O Campbell Library Renovations Project and authorizing the finance director to form the associated budget adjustment.

May I add then that the motion would include the request for the council for further reporting.

And further review by the council of the overture of approximately $87,000. Reporting back to council.

Second, I'll second. We have a motion by Vice Mayor Bybee, second by Council Member Lopez. Roll call, please.

Council Member Lopez? Aye. Council Member Hines?

Aye.

Vice Mayor Bybee? Aye. Mayor Furtado?

Aye. Thank you. We now move to item 9.5. This is the approval of cost share agreements with the City of San Jose in the, quote, not to exceed the amount of $335,000 for the resurfacing of McCoy Avenue and Olympia Avenue. And once again, I'll ask our Public Works Director, Amy Olay, to make the staff presentation.

Okay, so with item 9.5 of the agenda, we are bringing forward the cost share agreement with the City of San Jose for the resurfacing of McCoy Avenue and Olympia Avenue. First, we're asking Council to approve the Campbell share of the agreement, which totals $335,000. We're also requesting authorization for the City Manager to execute the agreement and for Finance Director to complete the associated budget adjustments. So as background, Campbell, as you know, we regularly collaborate with our neighboring cities, with Los Gatos and San Jose, as we have any of our resurfacing projects. That really brings a lot of value as we work with our community. That brings a lot of consistency with how our streets are maintained. And it also brings, you know, value in the cost. And it really reduces the cost and it's better for project delivery. And it helps all of us because when we have a larger contract, we usually get a better value there, right? And it also really shows goodwill to our community that we are working in partnership with our neighbors. So with that, San Jose reached out to us with plans. Every year we coordinate on our streets and their streets and so forth. And so the past year, San Jose reached out to us that they would be doing work along McCoy Avenue and also Olympia. And we looked at those streets and how their pavement condition index are. And seeing that... that mccoy has a pci of 36 which is not good and olympia at 52 we thought this would be a really good opportunity for us to cost share in this and um and i must say though that the project is almost done and i know we are bringing this cost share agreement to you at this time but this whole you know, since early in the year, we were coordinating the cost sharing agreement. And so we went back and forth and they had a lot of trust, San Jose had a lot of trust in Campbell that we will come through and that we would reimburse them and pay them for the cost that would be owed to them. And they proceeded along and both streets are almost done. So I just wanted to bring that forward because I know that as you drive these two streets, most of the work is done. It's really now just missing some striping work and some Sheryl's legends and things like that. And really, that just boasts a lot, and it says a lot about our working relationships, you know, with San Jose and with Los Gatos. And even when we have our projects, I think it's almost the same type of thing, right, where there's that mutual trust. So with that, that really concludes my presentation, and I'm happy to answer any questions.

Thank you for your report. I agree with you. We have a lot of borders against the San Jose and of course some with our other neighboring cities, but the predominant number is with San Jose. So I think it's great that you can share costs and sort of encroach in each other city to kind of complete a project and make it whole. And the pavement management index of both of those roads is abominably low when we're aiming for like a 70%. So thank you. Any questions by the council? I see no questions. Any member of the public wish to speak? I see no member present in the council chamber. No one's online. So what is the pleasure of the council?

Yeah, I just want to comment that working closely with San Jose and Los Gatos and, you know, all sorts of aspects is vitally important. And my annual request to have the $208,000 payment to San Jose, maybe someday they can consider that as a sharing as well. But with that, I would move to propose to... APPROVE THE COST SHARING AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF SAN JOSE NOT TO EXCEED $335,000 FOR THE RESURFACING OF MCCOY AVENUE AND OLYMPIA AVENUE.

I'LL SECOND AND JUST EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION FOR OUR DEPARTMENT AND THE CITY OF SAN JOSE FOR THEIR COLLABORATION.

THANK YOU.

COUNCILMEMBER LOPEZ.

COUNCILMEMBER HINES.

VICE MAYOR BIBE. AYE. MAYOR FURTADO.

AYE. Thank you. I see you're still there at the microphone, because that means you're going to make the staff presentation for the next item, 9.6. This is the authorization to execute the Vehicle Registration Fee Intelligent Transportation Systems, VRF ITS Fund Agreement for Campbell ITS Mobility and Safety Improvement Project. Please go ahead with the staff report.

Right. Thank you. So with item nine point six, we're here. We're bringing forward the vehicle registration fee, intelligent transportation system, VRF ITS fund agreement for council approval and authorizing the city manager to execute the agreements and any amendments thereof. So as background, VTA recently allocated funding through the vehicle registration fee ITS program, which uses the voter-approved $10 annual vehicle fee to support projects that benefit motorists. So earlier this year, staff submitted Campbell's ITS Mobility and Safety Improvement Project for funding, and on May 7th, the VTA board selected it for award. What this project will do is that it will get us, enable us to replace 40 to 45 countdown pedestrian signals that otherwise we would have had to use our journal. fun to do and also replacement of pedestrian push buttons with accessible pedestrian signal APS at about 33 signalized intersections. So this brings our pedestrian push buttons up to ADA compliance. And then this also funds traffic signal controller upgrades for six signalized intersections. These are controller locations that are not funded by the TRIPS project that I brought to council the last meeting. And we would be able to retime nine traffic signals. and then also purchase the traffic modeling software that helps us simulate and optimize intersection operations. So these are all really great things that we are able to bring forward. And the grant amount is $500,000, but no local match is required. So this is a really win-win for the city. The project, though, must be completed by December 31st, 2028. But before we can begin any work, we need to have a fund agreement executed between us and VTA. So that really, that concludes my presentation. I'm happy to take any questions.

Thank you. Questions?

Yeah, I just have a question. I sat in on the VTA PAC the last time, and there were Three proposals that had been accepted, or I think five proposals that were being moved forward there. Is that a different set of proposals, or is that the same as it is?

Proposals before the PAC last time, we received three bicycle-related proposals. What does it might say projects money for three, but they were all related to bikes. Three of them work. Yes. And this is separate. This is a different. I believe so.

This is separate. So the one I think you're referring to might be the grant. And that I will bring that to. We already actually sought your approval for those projects. but there were additional money made available and it was almost like a first come first serve. And so we took advantage of that and put in proposal for an additional project and we were awarded that.

Thank you. I see no questions.

It's fantastic to see the contributions that we're getting from the VTA and the support that we're getting from the VTA for these vital components. And I'm happy that there's so many that it's hard to keep track of them. So just fantastic work on that.

Yeah, great job to our staff for being ready to take advantage of those opportunities when they arise. Sure, I'll be happy to make the motion to adopt a resolution approving the fund agreement with BTA authorizing the city manager to execute the fund agreement and any amendments thereof.

I'll second. Motion by Councilmember Lopez, second by Councilmember Hines. Roll call, please.

Councilmember Lopez?

Aye.

Councilmember Hines?

Aye.

Vice Mayor Bybee. Aye. Mayor Furtado.

Aye. We have no unfinished business and so we now move to Council Committee Reports. So I'll start with the Vice Mayor.

Thank you. I attended the Library JPA meeting last week as well as the Cities Association meeting and we had a great informative program or presentation done by the Interoperability And it was short to the point and very informative.

Council Member Pines.

Yeah, we had a DCBA meeting back on the 2nd, just a fantastic set of activities that are planned and even a wine walk coming up on Thursday. So those have been very, very popular for the city, and the DCBA really likes them because it brings a lot of other clients in. Attended the West Valley Stormwater and West Valley Recycling and learned that with the West Valley Recycling, the vehicle impact fees can now be used and the staff is working on being able to incorporate those. So fantastic for that. Attended the South Bay AFL-CIO Labor Day Barbecue. And then the Silicon Valley Clean Energy, and there was a closed session on cybersecurity, and it was really good to see Silicon Valley's clean energy being focused on that. And then I'm just prepping for the Campbell Village neighborhood town hall. I didn't make a comment about encouraging anymore because it's full. So we started with 30. That filled up. We added 30 more, and that filled up. So we've got 60 attendees that are planning with Silicon Valley with the – West Valley Stormwater coming with their presentation that they always do as well. Finally, I want to do a shout out to Signature Custom Framing. They did some excellent work on just a couple of the pictures that we wanted to get framed. They're over on 1550 Dell Avenue and very fast, very effective, and very good. And as a non-artist, I just let them decide what to do and they worked out really well. So thank you, Mayor.

Councilmember Lopez.

Sure. Primarily, I had three BTA meetings, including a regular meeting with the Board of Directors and a meeting with the BART Oversight Committee. The primary items were, one, approving a contract of nearly $100 million. moving forward the design for the BART phase two project to Silicon Valley that was adopted and also adopting VTA's official grand jury response, which was also an item that we heard along with, I think, all the other cities in the county. But if folks are interested in either reading or seeing or hearing more about VTA's response, happy to share more. Thank you.

I have no further reports. So with that, I see no other business before the council. So thank you all for attending and I will adjourn the meeting. Thank you.
