CITIZENS TO BE HEARD 

Mayor Chu opened the Citizens to be Heard at 7:44   Mei-Ling Stefan, a member of the public, spoke about the Sprint wireless site on Carlisle Way and stated her dissatisfaction with Council’s past action.  Councilmember Miller asked that the City Attorney respond to her at some future time regarding the issue of the water tower she raised as that is a new issue.  Councilmember Miller pointed out that she had checked into the air raid siren understood that it is part of a larger network within the city and has to remain there.  Ms. Stefan responded that she understood that, but she and her neighbors are more concerned about the monopole due to its height.   Ron Gilbert, a member of the public, went over the history of a parking citation he received on June 21, 2005, regarding the location of his motorhome parked on his corner lot property and disputes that his motorhome was parked on his front lawn and stated it was parked on a 6-inch pad with a retaining wall around it which he had constructed in compliance with a building permit. Mr. Gilbert went over the chronology of his attempts to identify and resolve the problem with City staff and expressed his frustration at his inability to reach a satisfactory resolution before the deadline he has been given by the City.  He offered to come to the August 9th Council Meeting and make a presentation with pictures.   Council asked Mr. Gilbert and staff questions regarding: the citation(s) issued, the pad and retaining wall that was constructed; the side yard on the corner lot where the motorhome is parked; the street curb and sidewalk, the confusion over applicable Municipal Code sections and violations, and the steps that have been taken to resolve the matter.   Robert Paternoster, Director of Community Development, stated he would need to look further into the situation and at the citation itself and respond to Council in a memo.  Amy Chan, City Manager, recommended that staff take questions from council at this time, then look further into this matter and provide Council with a report.   Mayor Chu acknowledged that this is not an agendized item, that staff needs time to investigate further, and assured Mr. Gilbert that staff would respond to the issues he raised and would report back to Council.  Councilmember Howe requested staff respond in a timely fashion so that Mr. Gilbert is not placed in further jeopardy.  Council was assured of a timely response by staff.   Tom Kerry, a member of the Heritage Neighborhood Association, raised a question about who is responsible for cleaning up Murphy Avenue as every morning there is garbage blowing around. Amy Chan, City Manager, responded that because of budget constraints, the City Council voted two years ago that effective July 1 of this year, the frequency for cleaning Murphy Street would change so that the cleaning schedule is the same as that of any other street in the City of Sunnyvale.  Councilmember Fowler stated his office is located on Murphy Street and he frequently takes a broom to the sidewalk area in front of his office and encouraged other business owners to take care of the sidewalks in front of their businesses.   Natanya Villegas expressed her concern that the City is making the parks more for little kids than for big kids and pointed out that big kids like to play in parks too.  Councilmember Howe and Councilmember Miller asked questions regarding the differences between a little kid park and big kid park and about which parks she was specifically referring to.  Miss Villegas, with assistance from her mother, responded that there should be playground equipment more appropriate for big kids because swings have been removed and replaced by toddler parks and this had occurred at Cannery Park and the park located at Mary Avenue and Central (Encino Park).  The City Manager advised Council she would follow-up with the speakers personally.   Andrew Gonzalez lives on Coit Avenue just 2 houses from Ron Gilbert who spoke earlier and stated he has a background in construction and believes the issue may be about driving over the sidewalk and he would prefer large vehicles not be parked on the street.   David Wittum, a member of the public who lives in the neighborhood north of the Caltrain station has issues with station noise levels and suggested the problem could be resolved by constructing a better fence in place of the chain link fence that is there at a cost of about $83,000.  Councilmember Fowler reminded Mr. Wittum of a conversation he had with him about the various options the neighbors have, including forming a special assessment district to finance the fence, and Mr. Wittum agreed it is a good idea.   There being no further public testimony, Mayor Chu closed Citizens to be Heard at 8:20 p.m.   Mayor Chu announced that there are technical difficulties with the computer video equipment, but that staff is working on the problem and apologized to the viewers at home.

PUBLIC HEARINGS/GENERAL BUSINESS 

2.	MOTION RTC 05-200	Consideration of Proceeding with the Mathilda Avenue Overhead Bridge Rehabilitation Project and Authorization to Amend an Existing Contract for Design and Construction Support Services for the Mathilda Avenue Overhead Bridge Rehabilitation Project (F0405-64)   Staff Recommendation:  Give direction whether to proceed with the Mathilda Overhead Bridge Rehabilitation Project.  If so, staff recommends that Council; 1) Amend the scope of work of an existing contract with Mark Thomas & Company, in substantially the same format as the attached Draft Amendment, to include the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report; 2) authorized additional expenditures in an amount not to exceed $68,500, making a total contract amount of $1,691,760; and 3) Approve a project contingency in the amount not-to-exceed $160,000.
	Jack Witthaus, Transportation and Traffic Manager of the Department of Public Works, presented the staff report and responded to questions from Council regarding: saving more of the trees in the area, how staff arrived at the additional expenditure amount of $68,500; constructing an underpass; grade separation; different reconfigurations; timeline; and how this project might overlap with the downtown redevelopment project.   Mayor Chu opened the public hearing at 8:33.   Mayor Chu announced that the people at home can see an image on their screen, but that Councilmembers have a blank screen.   Dave Wittum, a member of the public, stated he agrees with staff recommendations and looks forward to a successful completion.  As far as the environmental process, he believes the photos do not accurately reflect the number of trees that will be cut down and what it will do to the neighborhood and also disputes the noise levels given.  In response to a question from Councilmember Hamilton, he stated the City should do an EIR, construct an undercrossing and footpaths.   Monica Davis, a member of the public, urged Council to proceed with the project as it increases bike and wheelchair access and pedestrian traffic towards the downtown area which is important to merchants; that the closure of Charles Street would alleviate problems they have with traffic in the area; and understands from staff that while some trees would be cut down other trees and landscaping would take their place.  She commended staff for working with their outreach program and for being  receptive to their concerns   Arthur Schwartz stated that an EIR should absolutely be required both from a legal and an environmental standpoint as he has had his own EIR business for 5 years and is familiar with the process and problems.  He believes that the money saved by not widening the bridge would be more than enough to put in an extra wide underpass which would be a better alternative for bikes and pedestrians; and that he does not want trees removed to provide pedestrian access.   Kelly Diekmann, a City employee speaking as a property owner, voiced his support of an expansion of the bridge to serve pedestrians and bicyclists and supports the EIR process to resolve many of the issues.   Thomas Dwyer, a member of the public, encouraged Council to accept staff recommendations for an EIR.   Tom Carrig asked Council not to do a second rate job and that it sounds like an underpass would be first rate job; he wants to keep the trees and plant more redwood trees to replace those that will die to create a wall of trees; and expressed concerns about dust.   Tim Risch, a former vice mayor and member of the public, believes the project to be beneficial for the City and will improve traffic flow.  He stated he supports the EIR process and encouraged Council to look at alternatives and consider an underpass for bicycles and pedestrians.  In response to questions from Councilmember Fowler, he suggested Council approve the retrofit project, but make it contingent on doing the underpass project as an alternative.  Mayor Chu questioned whether Mr. Risch had ever proposed a bike pedestrian underpass at this location when he sat on the City Council and Mr. Risch responded that he had at a study session 5 or 6 years ago, but that it did not meet with a lot of enthusiasm. Councilmember Fowler recalled the discussion, but said at the time it was not ADA compliant.   Susan Bull, a member of the public who uses a wheelchair, does not feel the overpass is wide enough for wheelchairs or ADA compliant.  In response to questions from Mayor Chu and  Councilmember Hamilton, staff responded that the overpass as it stands today is not ADA compliant, but it does meet the letter of the law; however, the retrofit project will widen and improve it and make it ADA compliant.  Ms. Bull stated that a separate underpass would be better.   There being no further public testimony, Mayor Chu closed the public hearing at 8:59 p.m.   Staff responded to questions from Councilmember Hamilton about a third alternative:  instead of widening the bridge, attach to it a separate structure – and explained the reasons it would be more expensive to construct an underpass.   Councilmember Miller moved and Councilmember Hamilton seconded to approve staff recommendation: to proceed with the Mathilda Overhead Bridge Rehabilitation Project and 1) amend the scope of work of an existing contract with Mark Thomas & Company, in substantially the same format as the attached Draft Amendment, to include the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report; 2) authorize additional expenditures in an amount not to exceed $68,500, making a total contract amount of $1,691,760; and 3) approve a project contingency in the amount not-to-exceed $160,000.   Councilmember Hamilton offered two friendly amendments: 1) the EIR include three pedestrian/bicycle options of: widening the existing bridge, a subterranean underpass, and a separate raised bridge only for pedestrians/bicycles; and 2) at least one alternative to save the canary pine trees on the northeast corner of the bridge.  The friendly amendments were accepted.   The motion carried unanimously 7-0.
3.	MOTION RTC 05-221	Study Issue –  Transportation Demand Management (TDM) for Higher Density Residential Projects.   Staff Recommendation:  Adoption of a policy identifying three targeted geographic areas of Downtown, El Camino Real and Tasman/Fair Oaks for TDM emphasis.  The policy includes provisions for mandatory site design techniques in targeted areas and guidelines for other high density areas.
	Kelly Diekmann, Associate Planner, presented the staff report and with the assistance of Trudy Ryan, Planning Officer, responded to questions from Council regarding: clarification of site design changes, cost benefits, identifying high activity bus stops in the future, Tasman/Fair Oaks TDM requirements, new development TDM requirements, and commercial TDM areas.   Mayor Chu opened the public hearing at 9:27 p.m. and there being no public testimony, closed the public hearing at 9:28 p.m. Councilmember Howe moved and Councilmember Miller seconded to approve staff recommendation to adopt a policy identifying three targeted geographic areas of Downtown, El Camino Real and Tasman/Fair Oaks for TDM emphasis.  The policy includes provisions for mandatory site design techniques in targeted areas and guidelines for other high density areas.   Councilmember Hamilton offered a friendly amendment to increase the unit threshold to 8-10 units and keep design elements (i) and (ii).  After discussion, Councilmember Hamilton withdrew her friendly amendment.   After discussion between council and staff, Councilmember Howe and Councilmember Miller agreed to increase the threshold to 25 units or on-site manager (whichever is less) for any new development and staff to come back to Council in three years to determine effectiveness of this approach.   Mayor Chu offered a friendly amendment to set the threshold at 20 instead of 25.  The friendly amendment was accepted.   The motion carried unanimously 7-0.   Mayor Chu requested a study issue: explore TDM along Mathilda corridor between 101 and downtown connecting TDM areas in Moffett Park to TDM areas along El Camino Real and downtown and to explore other TMD options for industry in the City.
4.	MOTION RTC 05-217	City’s Response to Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Recommendations and Implications for Onizuka air Force Station and Moffett Field.   Staff Recommendation:  Alternative Nos. 1, 2 and 3: 1) Directs implementation of Option 2B: Limited advocacy to support the creation of the new Armed Forces Reserve Center at Moffett, with no designated funding for external assistance or expertise.  Advocacy limited to drafting a letter from the Mayor (and other elected officials as are willing) applauding the BRAC recommendation to create the new Armed Forces Reserve Center at Moffett Field; 2) Council directs implementation of Option #4: Begin exploring base re-use; and 3) Council seeks designation as the Local redevelopment Authority for base reuse purposes to be recognized by the Department of Defense once a final determination is made regarding Onizuka.
	Peter Basset, Management Analyst in the Office of the City Manager, presented the staff report and responded to questions from Council regarding: clarification, additional base closures, economic impact, and military presence.   Mayor Chu opened the public hearing at 9:50 p.m.   Arthur Schwartz, a member of the public, referred Council to his recommendations that were covered in his letter to Council last week and in response to a question from Councilmember Fowler regarding ideas for re-use possibilities, stated he would prefer to wait and see further information as it becomes available on the internet. Councilmember Lee moved and Vice Mayor Swegles seconded a motion to approve staff recommendation to accept Alternative Nos. 1, 2 and 3: 1) Direct implementation of Option 2B: Limited advocacy to support the creation of the new Armed Forces Reserve Center at Moffett, with no designated funding for external assistance or expertise.  Advocacy limited to drafting a letter from the Mayor (and other elected officials as are willing) applauding the BRAC recommendation to create the new Armed Forces Reserve Center at Moffett Field; 2) Council direct implementation of Option #4: Begin exploring base re-use; and 3) Council seek designation as the Local redevelopment Authority for base reuse purposes to be recognized by the Department of Defense once a final determination is made regarding Onizuka.   Councilmember Lee stated he recognizes futility and expense in trying to fight closure, but wants to be sure Moffett is maintained as a secure federal military air field and not expanded to include commercial purposes.   Vice Mayor Swegles agreed with Councilmember Lee and commented on Congresswoman Boxer’s address to the BRAC committee.   Councilmember Fowler supports the motion and stated that in March he attended a briefing by BRAC officials in Washington DC which answered many of the questions he had about their actions and he now encourages the community to focus instead on some other public use for that land should it fall under the City's control   Councilmember Miller expressed her support for the motion and stated the BRAC process is based on mission and the Onizuka mission is complete; that she attended the briefings in Washington DC along with the City Manager and the City will have an input as the land use authority, but not until military decides it is totally releasable.   Councilmember Lee offered a friendly amendment to his own motion by adding consideration of a naming opportunity to honor Lt. Colonel Ellison Onizuka. The friendly amendment was accepted.   The motion carried unanimously 7-0.
