Attachments:Caltrain Palo Alto Corridor Southgate Neighborhood Statement for City Council &
Staff.doc
Dear Palo Alto City Council,
Over the last several weeks the Southgate community held meetings to discuss the Caltrain Palo Alto Corridor
project. Those meetings raised a number of issues that we would like to bring to the attention of the City
Council and Staff. The issues are articulated in the attached document. It was read at the November 16th
Community Roundtable.
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this statement or if you would like any additional
information.
Regards,
Nancy Madison
Southgate Resident
November 16. 2017
To: City of Palo Alto
From: Southgate neighborhood
Palo Alto has the opportunity to make an infrastructure investment that will affect residential quality of life
for the next century. It is important to consider how the rail corridor now affects Palo Alto and how that
might change for the better. For many reasons, Palo Alto has grown into a vibrant place to live and work
over the last several decades, and the associated traffic is congesting our streets, neighborhoods and
thoroughfares. The improvement of Caltrain service should be matched with modernizing the corridor to
preserve Palo Alto’s quality of life as an appealing place to live and work.
It is critical that the city takes the long view in any decision about changing the alignment of Caltrain
through Palo Alto. It would be shortsighted for the city to merely focus on the parochial interests of the
neighborhoods adjacent to the four crossings. All traffic consequences, both short and especially long
term, must be explicitly considered in any plan.
Southgate residents want this project to enhance the quality of life in Palo Alto, not to degrade it. We want
to be fully engaged in the process of determining the best long-term solution. We not only want to be
heard but we also want our opinions to be considered seriously along with those of the other residents of
Palo Alto to shape the decision. We are willing to assist staff and council members in investigating
alternatives and impacts; we can also offer expertise and funding for studies. We are looking for a truly
collaborative process.
We would like to share some of our concerns regarding the current city process:
1) It is clear to us that undergrounding the track at all four crossings provides the most benefits for
the city by enabling more options to address traffic issues and maintain the integrity of
neighborhoods. But we would like to have certainty that this option will be seriously considered
and not dismissed because it’s too expensive or disruptive. Therefore, we request that a below
grade design, submerging Caltrain the full length of Palo Alto be considered with rigor. New
advances in tunneling techniques and the deployment of a 2% grade for the track must be
explored. We offer our assistance in fully researching these underground alternatives.
2) The City sponsored Connect Palo Alto meetings lack the real rigor of citizen engagement. We
appreciate the opportunities to voice our opinions, but would value more information about
options, costs, property takings, etc. as various designs are introduced and considered. The
content of survey information seems designed to qualify the most basic design instead of
promoting creativity.
3) City Council will decide in June the design plan for each of the four Caltrain intersections. We
believe this does not give the public enough time to consider all options, costs, or concerns
regarding the design options. This is the most significant infrastructure investment in Palo Alto’s
history. We want to ensure that all options are considered with proper studies, cost analysis,
public debate—in other words, the full Palo Alto process. We need to accelerate the studies and
the dissemination of information to the public to support the decision-making process
Palo Alto is known as an innovative, “can do” community and should be at the forefront of embracing new
approaches and demonstrating how a forward-looking city can tackle complex and important issues like
traffic, congestion, and livability. Such a major investment in infrastructure could produce many benefits
for the city. We have a chance to be creative in facing these challenges. We encourage this and are
willing to participate with time, energy, and resources.

Subject:City Attorney v. City Council
Dear Ms. Stump,
Thank you for directing the Planning Department to send me emails which have not been redacted. I
appreciate your attention to this matter.
Now another issue has arisen. Specifically, it is my understanding that you have told the members of
City Council who support United Neighbors’ request that Council add the issue of cell towers in
residential neighbors to its agenda that they must “stand down.” As I understand it, you told them that
Council will play a quasi-judicial role should a resident or cell company appeal a decision with respect
to a proposed cell site, hence Council members must remain neutral. In addition, I understand that
you have told these Council members that if they go forward with putting the issue on Council’s
agenda, they could face sanctions—and that even if they don’t go forward with it, they will be forced
to recuse themselves from any cell tower-related appeals.
With all due respect, I challenge these assertions. First, it is City Council’s job to establish City
policy. Yet if you were correct, City Council could never adopt any ordinance, establish any
regulation or even take any position which might someday bear on an appeal to them. In fact,
however, City Council does this all the time. Consider just one example: City Council has played an
important role in establishing guidelines with respect to the size of commercial buildings in Palo
Alto. Developers have appealed decisions with respect to the size of proposed buildings to City
Council, and City Council has voted on those appeals. Has City Council done anything wrong? Of
course not. They’ve done their job.
Moreover, it is this very process—the process of a City Council hearing followed by City Council
directing City Staff to strictly enforce City ordinances and regulations—that other California cities have
used in rebuffing the efforts of the telecom industry to install unsuitable cell towers in residential
neighborhoods. It is difficult to imagine that Palo Alto’s City Council is somehow prohibited from
doing what the City Councils in cities such as Piedmont and Palos Verdes have done.
Also, I do not understand how you, as City Attorney, have the authority to tell City Council members
that they “must” do anything, much less threaten them with sanctions. At the risk of sounding
disrespectful, which I assure you I do not mean to be, I want to point out that you work for City
Council, not vice versa.
It is with these concerns in mind that I am writing to ask that you: 1) provide me with the legal basis
for your assertion that City Council may not put the issue of cell towers in residential neighborhoods
on Council’s agenda and may not take a position on that issue because they could one day be asked
City of Palo Alto | City Clerk's Office | 11/21/2017 8:02 AM
2
to vote on an appeal; 2) point me to other instances in which you have directed City Council to not
put an issue on their agenda and not take a position on the issue because they could one day be
asked to vote on an appeal (i.e., point to precedents in Palo Alto for your assertion); and 3) explain on
what basis you have the authority to require City Council members to do anything or to sanction them
if they don’t.
As I trust you know, I am raising these issues, first, because—like the hundreds of other Palo Altans
who have signed the United Neighbors’ petition (which will be hand delivered to the City Clerk
today)—I believe it is critically important for City Council itself to consider the topic of cell towers in
residential neighborhoods and, in particular, for the Council to direct City Staff to aggressively apply
Palo Alto’s noise and aesthetics ordinances in responding to cell industry applications to install
hundreds of pounds of noisy, ugly equipment near people’s homes.
But I also am raising these issues as a matter of principle. To put it simply, I do not believe that the
City of Palo Alto and the City Council of Palo Alto should be relinquishing or deterred from exercising
their rights.
As always, thank you for your consideration. I am most appreciative.
Sincerely,
Jeanne Fleming

Dear Ms. Fleming –
In response to your question about redaction, thank you for bringing this to my attention. While redaction of personal
contact information is warranted in some situations involving the public’s communications with the City, it was not in
this case. I’m told that the Planning Department will be sending you a batch of requested records today or tomorrow.
Planning will include unredacted versions of the previously‐released emails in that transmission.

Subject: RE: City Staff failing to adhere to California Public Records Act in responding to requests for information
regarding cell tower installations
Dear Ms. Stump,
I was pleased to receive an email from the Planning Department yesterday that provided me with
access to what appears to be much of the information I requested. (I haven’t gone through
everything yet.) I assume I have you to thank for this, so, thank you.
I am puzzled by one thing, however: The Planning Department has redacted email addresses and
street address numbers from the emails sent by Palo Altans to Planning on the subject of cell tower
installations. It is my understanding that any correspondence sent to the City is, in its entirety, part of
the public record. Moreover, in the last round of Planning emails to which I was provided access,
email addresses and street address numbers were not redacted. If a mistake has been made, I
would appreciate it if you would see that it is corrected.
However, if a mistake has not been made, I would appreciate it if you would: 1) tell me whether, when
these Planning Department emails were shared with Verizon, the email addresses and/or street
numbers were also redacted; and 2) tell me of other instances in which the City has redacted email
addresses and/or street numbers in fulfilling a resident’s Public Records request for access to emails
sent to Planning or any other City Department (i.e., point to precedents in Palo Alto for redacting this
information).
I look forward to hearing from you. And, again, thank you for your hand in seeing to it that my
requests for information are starting to be fulfilled. I’m most appreciative.
Sincerely,
Jeanne Fleming

Subject: RE: City Staff failing to adhere to California Public Records Act in responding to requests for information
regarding cell tower installations
Dear Ms. Fleming –
Thank you for your note. The California Public Records Act provides a 10 day period to make an initial determination as
to whether records will be disclosed. The law allows for an additional 14 day period under certain circumstances,
including where there are voluminous records to review or when multiple departments may have to respond. Once an
initial determination has been made, the Public Records Act does not require disclosure under a set timeline. Rather,
cities have a duty to provide relevant documents “promptly,” which courts interpret in light of all the circumstances. In
regards to your outstanding requests, the City is in the process of collecting and reviewing responsive records and
making an initial determination. The City’s response complies with the requirements of the Public Records Act.
Please be advised that Palo Alto, like most small and mid‐sized cities, relies on existing staff to gather and review
documents for disclosure to members of the public who request them. While we’re happy to assist the public in this
way, these tasks have to be integrated with a full set of substantive duties that the public also relies on staff to perform,
such as analyzing applications, responding to applicants and neighbors on issues of concern, and supporting policy
makers in their decision‐making process. As you know, neighbors have had many questions and concerns regarding
applications by Verizon and other providers for small cell attachments to City poles. The staff has tried to provide
customized responses to as many of these inquiries as feasible. The staff has also created and will be updating a
centralized webpage for information about these applications:
http://www.cityofpaloalto.org/gov/topics/verizon_small_cell_nodes/default.asp. The webpage will ensure that
consistent information is available to interested community members. It should also allow the staff to disseminate
information efficiently, so that other critical duties can be attended to.
Finally, please be advised that the City has an online Public Records Act Center, located at
http://www.cityofpaloalto.org/gov/depts/clk/public_records_request.asp, which facilitates tracking of requests and
routing them to the appropriate City department for handling. While you are not obligated to use this portal, doing so
will assist both you and us.

Molly Stump

Dear Ms. Gitelman, Ms. Stump and Mr. Keene:
City of Palo Alto | City Clerk's Office | 11/21/2017 8:02 AM

Under the California Public Records Act, the City must respond to a formal request for information
within ten days.
I have made several requests of City Staff, all regarding the proposed installation of cell towers in
residential neighborhoods. All my requests were made over ten days ago, and all were copied to Ms.
Gitelman and to Vice-Mayor Ed Shikada. Yet the City has not provided me with even a subset of the
information I am seeking.
On the contrary, City employee Yolanda Cervantes has notified me by email that I will have to wait
until November 8th—that is, three and one-half weeks after my October 15th requests—to even
receive what she calls “an initial determination” in response to those requests. And City employee
Rebecca Atkinson has notified me by email that a separate request I made for information on October
18th (i.e., thirteen days ago) will not be fulfilled until Ms. Cervantes responds on November 8th to my
other requests.
I am writing to you to insist that the City of Palo Alto abide by the California Public Records Act and
immediately provide me with the information I have requested.
Please understand, I do not believe that Ms. Cervantes and Ms. Atkinson are rogue employees who
are, on their own, thwarting my requests for public information. I assume they are ignoring the law at
the direction of their supervisors.
A final point: Others in United Neighbors—for example, Celia Chow and Annette Fazzino—have also
sent emails to City Hall requesting information, emails that have been ignored completely (i.e., no one
ever responded to them at all).
Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
Jeanne Fleming

Re: Salaries of Silicon Valley City Managers
Elected Council Members:
Recently one of the Palo Alto City Council members was quoted in a local paper that Palo Alto’s City
Manager’s salary was “in the middle of Silicon Valley’s City Managers’ salaries” when the Council was
about to increase the salaries of Palo Alto’s key employees. This did not seem realistic, given the already
high salary of the Palo Alto City Manager. It seemed that a little research into the matter was called for,
since this matter of increasing the salary of key employees keeps recurring yearly.
Using the data on www.transparenentcalifornia.com, which contains salary and pension data for
hundreds of responding California agencies, the salary data for the highest one hundred or so California
City Managers was extracted and transformed into an Excel spreadsheet. An additional field was added
to each row of the spreadsheet which allowed the data to be aggregated into regions, such as “Silicon
Valley”, “Southern California” and so on. Once sorted into regions, the salary data was then sorted from
highest to lowest values. That data is presented below in two tables.
Table 1 (below) provides the salaries of the highest‐paid City Managers and Assistant City Managers in
the greater Bay Area. Table 2 (below) provides the cost‐to‐employ these same City Managers and
Assistant City Managers, ranked by total salary and benefits. Attached also is the spreadsheet from
which these tables were constructed.
As can be seen from the data, the Palo Alto City Manager’s regular salary is the highest in the area, and
his cost‐to‐employ expenditure puts him near the top of the list for the year 2016. It’s a shame that this
data is not routinely provided to the City Council, since it is readily available to the public.

Office of the Mayor and City Council
Subject: City of Palo Alto Response to FAA Initiative Phase Two Report Issued July 2017
Dear Administrator Huerta:
On behalf of the Palo Alto City Council and further to our letter dated July 7, 2017, I want to reiterate
our continuing appreciation for the work of FAA staff to address the problems Palo Alto and neighboring
cities have experienced since implementation of the NextGen program in the Northern California
Metroplex. NextGen added substantial air traffic to our skies, mainly due to the high concentration of
jets that now fly over or near MENLO waypoint, at low altitudes, throughout the day and night. It
remains critical to achieve meaningful relief since jet noise -as well as emissions -have a negative
impact on the quality of life and health of people who live, work and study in our City.
We recognize that the FAA Initiative to Address Noise Concerns of Santa Cruz/Santa Clara/San
Mateo/San Francisco Counties is intended to explore changes to published procedures that would help
mitigate noise complaints. The purpose of this letter is to highlight Palo Alto's top three priorities as they
relate to specific items in the FM's Phase Two report issued July 2017 (the "Report") as part of the
initiative.
While the Report signals some relief is in progress at last, we are concerned the FAA does not provide
adequate assurance that solutions will include higher, more distributed flights, as well as fewer
overnight flights, sooner rather than later. Nor does it sufficiently commit to a transparent process -
including credible impact assessments -before any final implementation decisions. We urge the FAA to
consider the below priorities as it prepares for Phase Three of the initiative process.
1. Reduce the concentration of SFO arrivals using MENLO waypoint. Per FAA data, 60% of SFO
arrivals pass over or near MENLO waypoint, mostly on the SERFR and BDEGA West-leg paths. One
action that would greatly alleviate this problem is to designate alternative waypoint(s) to MENLO for
a portion of SERFR southern arrivals (which represent 30% of all SFO arrivals). The Report indicates
this proposal is "currently under evaluation" (4.d.iv). Some alternative waypoints have been
proposed that could enable aircraft to fly at significantly higher altitudes -and over less-populated
areas-and then descend the length of the Bay. We also encourage the FM to develop other
options based on its analysis and modeling. To address potential objections to moving some flights
(in both this and other contexts), the FAA should specify objective criteria for what constitutes
"noise shifting."1
1 One such standard appears in the FAA's Finding of No Significant Impact and Record of Decision for the NorCal
OAPM Project issued July 2014 (at http://www.metroplexenvironmental.com/docs/norcal metroplex/
NorCal OAPM FONSl-ROD.pdf). On page 5, it states that noise impacts need only be evaluated for proposed
changes in arrival procedures up to 7,000 feet above ground level (AGL), which implies that re-routing flights to
above 7,000 feet AGL would not be considered to cause noise-shifting. To the extent some overflights of
populated areas will occur below 7,000-foot altitudes, the FAA should establish an equitable dispersal approach
that uses a "pre-NextGen baseline" of flight concentrations.

Palo Alto, CA 94303
650.329.2477
650.328.3631 fax
Another action that would help reduce MENLO concentration is to rebalance BDEGA West northern
arrivals {which come down the Peninsula and make a U-turn over Palo Alto area) and BDEGA East
arrivals {which fly more over the Bay). We appreciate that the Report indicates rerouting night
flights is feasible and could be implemented in the short term {l.c.vi, 2.a.i). The Report additionally
states that rerouting flights during certain times of the day is also feasible but implementation
would be in the long term {3.a.i), and that restoring the West/East balance to its pre-2010 level
{SO/SO) is "currently under evaluation" (4.a.iii). Although these changes would still leave a
significant number of BDEGA flights over Palo Alto, they would provide some relief, and we
therefore hope the FAA proceeds with these steps as expeditiously as possible.
2. Increase minimum altitude for all flights over/in vicinity of MENLO waypoint to at least 5,000 feet.
The current minimum altitude at MENLO is 4,000 feet {although anecdotal data from users of the
stop.jetnoise.net app show a significant portion of jets overfly MENLO below 4,000 feet), which is
lower than before NextGen. The Select Committee on South Bay Arrivals unanimously
recommended increasing the minimum altitude to S,000 feet for all traffic over and around MENLO.
The Report states that a S,000 minimum altitude for vectored flights in the vicinity of Menlo, as well
as aircraft crossing Menlo/vicinity under visual conditions, is "currently under evaluation" (4.d.i,
4.d.ii). The Report rejects a 4,000-foot minimum altitude for instrument approaches over MENLO as
"not feasible" due to "procedural development criteria & safety standards" (6.c.viii).
While we are encouraged that S,000-foot minimums are under evaluation for vectored and visual
approaches and urge prompt action, we believe strongly that similar relief must be extended to
instrument arrivals, which constitute much of the MENLO traffic. The FAA provided assurance that
NextGen would allow aircraft to "maintain higher altitudes and lower thrust for longer periods" in its
draft Environmental Assessment for the NorCal OAPM published in March 2014.2 No sound reason
has been given why a S,000-foot minimum for instrument flights would not be feasible if, for
example, the glide slopes for RWYs 28R and/or 28L were increased even slightly to allow for higher
descending altitudes, especially considering that technological advances such as RNAV and GPS
enable aircraft to follow more accurate and better-defined routes. We therefore urge the FAA to
reconsider its position and to further provide a means for ongoing monitoring and enforcement to
assure compliance once new procedures are established.
3. Reduce vectoring of SFO arrivals without worsening MENLO concentration. About SO% of arrivals
on SERFR, plus those on BDEGA and OCEANIC, are routinely turned off their assigned procedure by
Air Traffic Control to sequence them for merging onto final SFO approach. This causes substantial
noise due to more aircraft miles, turning, and changes in speed. The Report notes that a proposal
for the FAA to work with the SFO Roundtable "to determine where aircraft can be vectored with the
least noise impact" is feasible/short-term {2.d.i). Increased in-trail separation on SERFR and possibly
BDEGA, which may entail ground delays at departing airports, is noted as feasible/long-term (3.c.ii).
We appreciate the intent to direct aircraft to be vectored so as to cause "the least noise impact,"
but request more specific criteria for how this determination will be made. Also, under no
circumstances should a reduction in vectoring lead to even higher concentrations on flight paths
over and around MENLO waypoint.

section 1.2.5.3.

In addition, the FAA is considering reverting the SERFR track to the old BSR track (2.f.i). The Select
Committee had conditioned its approval of this proposal on several criteria to prevent moving noise as
compared to 2014 levels, and it is important these are followed. Further, we continue to believe that
improved, supplemental noise metrics are critical to properly assess the true impact experienced by
people on the ground, and we encourage prompt action on the FAA's evaluation of this issue (4.e.xi).
The Palo Alto City Council remains committed to working with the FAA, San Francisco International
Airport, San Jose International Airport, Congressional leaders, our neighboring cities and counties, and
all stakeholders to ensure a reasonable solution is identified for our region.
Sincerely,
~ H. G egory Scharff

Dear Mayor and City Council,
Interest seems higher than anticipated. Reassigning people from the Churchill event to the Trench/Tunnel event
does not make sense.
Maybe instead change the November 30th event to a second Churchill event and reschedule the Trench/Tunnel
event so it does not conflict with the County Planning Commission meeting on the Stanford GUP.

Date: November 15, 2017 at 11:52:38 AM PST
Thank you for your interest in the Connecting Palo Alto Community Roundtable to be held on
Thursday, November 16 focusing on Churchill Avenue. We are currently over capacity for this
roundtable, due to the size of the room and fire marshal requirements.
To ensure that everyone can participate effectively, we are adding a discussion of Churchill
Avenue to the November 28 Community Roundtable at Palo Alto City Hall, which was
originally focused only on Palo Alto Avenue (AKA Alma Street).
We hope you might consider canceling your RSVP to the November 16 Community Roundtable
and instead sign up for the November 28 Community Roundtable to discuss Churchill Avenue
through www.brownpapertickets.com . The November 28 event will be held from 6:00 8:00pm
in the Community Meeting Room on the first floor of Palo Alto City located at 250 Hamilton

We are hoping that enough folks voluntarily agree to attend the November 28 Community

Subject:Re: JudyAdmasWILPF: On the Table Community Conversation on Housing - 5 Palo Alto
locations. 11/15/17...
How I regret not seizing the opportunity to participate in "On the table". I passed up the only location I
could reasonably hope to make by public transportation Hobees on El Camino, because George
Chippendale was going to it. No need to duplicate. But that evening there was an opportunity I didn't
foresee. I was at St. Francis Church in East Palo Alto, which happens to be in San Mateo County,
although that simply piece of geography slipped my mind. I knew that this event was going to take
place in "San Mateo" also, but I was sort of thinking Menlo Park and I didn't know where in Menlo or
how to get there by bus. I had volunteered at a dinner St. Francis always has Wednesday nights and
the person who usually takes me home couldn't because she was attending a meeting. When I
learned it was the "On the table " meeting I just sat down at the table. Great! But then the woman in
charge of the dinner volunteered to take me home and I had to decide too quickly. I had a guitar and
a whole lot of stuff, and didn't think that if push came to shove I could leave the stuff at the church hall
and get it in the morningAnd I had so many housing ideas to share. Here are a dozen, plus Single
Payer, which is just a matter of putting health on the Social Security where it should have been to
begin with.
1) Responsibility. Whose responsibility is it? The local cities, particularly Palo Alto, have caused the
problem by allowing too many jobs to be created without housing for the workers. Up to now, the
major donor to subsidized housing has been the federal government, but I don't think it's wise to rely
on the federal government under the present administration...except for the veterans. There are
between five and six thousand homeless in Santa Clara County and my guess is a thousand of them
are Veterans, which is a national disgrace. I think Republicans, as well as Democrats, Socialists and
Libertartans, would favor using surplus military bases like Moffett Field to house all veterans,
charging them according to income, so that the vet who has reintegrated himself into civilian life
would rent a house for his family, and the vet who is too damaged to hold a job would have for free a
bunk in a dormitory, but in addition be in a place where hie could get food and therapeutic services.
2. Employers, starting with the city and school districts., especially Stanford, largest landowner. It
would be to the employers' advantage to provide homes to hold the line at salary increases.
#. Economy of scale SROs, starting with a base of social security dependent seniors in hotel suites
like@00 square feet for bed and bath, say 369 units at $500 a monthk with storage available to be
bought at the same price per square foot as the housing, as would cars, but preference would be
given to those without cars. These units would be on El Camino, for the bus line. There would be a
total of 360 units, 12 floors, 30 to a floor; to duplicate the FAR of single family homes, every suite
would have a window wall of glass opening onto a full sized balcony, about 10 ft x10ft., professionally
gardened so as to form a green wall. There would be community (public) rooms on the ground floor,
such as child care, elder care, gym,bath house, computer library, dining room, and other co housing
facilities: a proper kitchen, laundry facilities, some soaking tubs. Ideally, a nutrition center like La
Comida would be installed. The model for this building would be 101 Alma, which has 200
City of Palo Alto | City Clerk's Office | 11/21/2017 7:53 AM
2
bedrooms. This density would be to duplicate the profit margin of the same space divided into 60
units of 600 square feet,($180,000/month) but rented by social security recipients and rent
controlled. If no private developer was found , the city would sponsor a co-op of small investors to
develop.
For single family homeowners striving to keep their homes, a company would be founded in EPA to
manufacture free-standing kitchens with their own solar panels, a single row of the usual appliances,
refrigerator, stove, sink, insulated and with their own foundation,in effect, the nucleus of an ADU. so
that a tent, or simple room of modular panels, with a porta potty or similar portable bathroom, could
be erected in a few hours. These kitchens could be removed and used somewhere else if the owner
no longer needed them. These kitchens would probably also be in demand for vacation homes or fire
damaged areas; they would be somewhat smaller, but suitable for permanent homes..
Multi-storied garages, whether public or private, would be outfitted with toilets and showers, and
rented at night (as well as in the daytime) to car campers. Adequate areas for RVs would be set
aside at office complexes and on commercial streets; areas like the former Palo Alto recycling center
would have cars bought by the state to remove emissions from the road, especially station wagons
and vans, rented to the homeless for a dollar or two a night; bathrooms would be adjacent, as they
are at state parks.
There would be an anti-demolition law, and existing trailer parks would not be removed. Costa
Hawkins would be repealed, and rent control would proceed on the same basis as Prop 13, i.e. an
expensive rental house would increase in rent potential over the initial rental cost by the same
percent as an owned Prop 13 house.
All new police stations would be buildt with a small shelter included for men who, perhaps for no fault
of their own, are trouble-makers.
There would be simple sleepover only shelters , at least one in each city for women. They would
have lockers in which the sheltered could put their bedding, a change of clothes and a few toiletries.
These might be commercial buildings which are not rented out to commercial uses.

Subject:rent control/eminent domain
Editor:
I
It's untrue that rent control prevents new development and leads to neglected properties. Would
builders turn down permission to build a project of 60 units, each renting for $3,000, or $180,00 a
month, if they could increase rents, yearly, by only 1%? Would they find it difficult to pay for the paint,
and the window washing? Rent control is just like Prop 13, only for renters. Perhaps you remember
how the State kept forcing out less rich owners, first by taxes, then by exorbitant building permits,
then by urban redevelopment? What the local government decides to allow you to do is what you
get to do. If they decide you may build a shopping center if you build a skating rink, or a grocery, you
have to build a skating rink or a grocery. If they permit you to build worker housing, that's what you
get to do. You're not automatically free to build the Taj Mahal instead. The unreasonable use of
government power to favor some owners over others is Costa-Hawkins, where the cities, obeying the
will of the voters, have rent control, but to favor wealthy developers, suspend it for new construction,
so the families who own new buildings make enough money to pay the estate tax (40%) but the
families that own old buildings don't, and have to sell, so the buildings are bought by wealthy owner
occupants or wealthy immigrants seeking green cards for their families, and lost to the rent-controlled
market. That's the favoritism we need to get rid of.

Yes they reassigned the Churchill folks to the Alma meeting - but the Trench/Tunnel meeting overlaps with the GUP
meeting. I urged Josh last 2 weeks ago to move the Trench/tunnel meeting given how important the GUP meeting is - and
he told me that "there are often conflicts and we just have to forge ahead. Besides, we already sent out meeting notices
and people get upset when you change the dates."
I RSVP'd for the Churchill meeting and yesterday received a from the City says that if by this AM people haven't
voluntarily un-RSVP'd and moved themselves to the Nov 28th meeting, the city would "reassign them."
Their version of CSS is baffling.
I think they are moving the Churchill/Alma folks into council chambers because they aren't likely to fit in the community
room.

I think they reassigned the Churchill crowd to the Alma meeting, not the Tunnel/Trench one. However, the council
meeting room is pretty small so they'll have the same problem.

I sent this note to Council attaching the City’s oversubscription message.
Dear Mayor and City Council,
Interest seems higher than anticipated. Reassigning people from the Churchill event to the Trench/Tunnel event
does not make sense.
Maybe instead change the November 30th event to a second Churchill event and reschedule the Trench/Tunnel
event so it does not conflict with the County Planning Commission meeting on the Stanford GUP.
Best regards,
Arthur

Subject:TRANSCRIPT & COMMENTS -- 11-01-17 UAC meeting, Item IX.4, "Smart Grid
Assessment ... Update"
Commissioners and Council members,
On 11-01-17, UAC considered an Item IX.4, "Smart Grid Assessment and Developing Utility Tech Roadmap Update." I'd
like to comment on it.. Below the "###" line is a transcript of the item (plus a relevant Oral Communication from Robert
Hinden, member of the public), to which I've added my comments (paragraphs beginning with "###").
I also have some general comments:
* There was no staff report. It's unreasonable to expect commissioners to come up with a cogent discussion of this item
without first having read a staff report.
* Consultants were on hand to answer the tough questions, but the commissioners didn't ask any tough questions,
possibly because they hadn't read a staff report.
* There were presentation slides, but these are not available online (as far as I know), so it's hard for the public to
participate online.
* The presentation was mostly about smart meters. There's more to smart grid than smart meters.
* The item was agendized as a discussion item, but the commissioners voted on it anyway. As Chair Reckdahl, of the
Parks & Recreation Commission, said on 02-28-17,
http://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/56595
"Keep in mind when you look at the agenda, when it says action or discussion, that actually means something." (At least
it does at Parks & Rec. Does it mean something at UAC?)
* No representative of the City Attorney's office attended the meeting.
In the next smart meter staff report, could the following topics be covered?
-- If the central office MDMS (meter data management system) doesn't hear from a smart meter, does it just invent a
plausible estimate for the usage data? (We know from various newspaper accounts that PG&E used to do this.)
-- If a smart meter can't get through to the central office, how long can it continue recording data by itself?
-- How much ongoing staff time is budgeted for dealing with ongoing network communication problems?
-- How much tree trimming is required?
-- Do the smart meters continue to transmit data during an electric power outage?
-- Will the water and gas smart meters include a shut-off capability?
-- Will the water and gas smart meters be powered by batteries? If so, who changes the batteries, and how do you know
when to change them?
-- Will a separate smart meter be required for EV charging?
I advocate for citywide municipal fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP). Nineteen municipalities use their FTTP networks to
support smart grid, according to this Broadband Communities interactive database:
http://www.bbpmag.com/search.php
If the City had FTTP, then that would be the network to use for smart grid. Consultant Ken Demlow says that if you have
FTTP and you deploy a wireless network for smart grid, you're paying double.
https://muninetworks.org/content/transcript-community-broadband-bits-episode-247
Does the City really need citywide municipal smart meters in a shorter timeframe than it needs citywide municipal
FTTP? If smart grid helped to pay for citywide municipal FTTP, then FTTP would seem less expensive.

* ITEM II -- ORAL COMMUNICATION
0:07:45:
Chair Danaher: All right. Members of the public. We have a speaker card from Robert Hinden.
0:7:53:
Robert Hinden: Hello. I'm Robert Hinden. I live on Murray Way in Palo Alto. I have a question about what's happening
with smart meters in Palo Alto. I'm aware that there was a pilot some time ago, but that's closed. I added solar panels to
my house, and I'd like to get -- I'm getting an electric car later -- hopefully later this year. And I would like to get a better
idea of what my actual consump- -- generation and consumption is. And it seems like having smart meters. And **. I
mean, in some ways, it seems like something Palo Alto should be doing. I don't understand what the hold-up is.
0:08:37:
Chair Danaher: Well, it's not an agendized item. But just as an informational item, it's in the plans. The City first has to
implement some software updates for its whole ERP system. Not doing too much at once. And then we'll start on the
automated meter infrastructure -- Ed, in two years?
0:08:57:
Ed Shikada: As a matter of fact, it IS on the agenda tonight. So, you have a more elaborate description. But if you would
like to talk to Shiva Swaminathan, he is available, and perhaps could just answer the question directly.
0:09:07:
Robert Hinden: OK. Two years seems like forever. But ...
0:09:12:
Chair Danaher: We're all impatient for this.

========================================================================
* ITEM IX.4 -- SMART GRID ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPING UTILITY TECH ROADMAP UPDATE
1:16:33:
Chair Danaher: (unamplified) We're going to go to Item 4, Smart Grid Assessment. As I recall, this does not impact **.
1:16:58:
Ed Shikada: Yes. We just have a presentation. And Shiva will be making this one as well.
1:17:04:
Shiva Swaminathan: So, if you recall, we came to the Commission in September to provide an update of our pilot
programs, and we, at that time, talked about a consultant coming and helping us do an assessment. So, this is a work,
which Utiliworks -- our consultants who are here -- helped us put together. And I'm just presenting that. And if you have
any tough questions, we have our consultants to answer.
So, this is -- So, briefly, we'll talk about the major technology projects we're currently undertaking. And then, how do we
implement it in a coordinated fashion? And then we will present the investment analysis for AMI systems. And then talk
about next steps.
So, currently, we are in the process of implementing a customer engagement portal for our existing billing system, which
will have a utility customer app, where they can pay their bills and view -- currently, you can view your bills and stuff on
your smart phone, but it doesn't -- it's not optimized for the mobile devices. So we have contracted with a company called
Smart Energy and Water to come up with a customer portal, to engage our customers. And this portal also has the ability
to display AMI data, down the road, when we implement it. So, it's state-of-the-art. We'll -- So, with that, we plan to -
- We are beginning to implement that. That should be a 6-to-9-month roll-out. And we'll have -- introduce it to the
customers in the summer of next year.
### Does this customer portal also interface to whatever device (e.g., desktop) a customer is using to get Internet
service? To view AMI data on a smart phone, does the customer have to be taking Internet service on the smart
phone? I think it's smart to make use of existing devices like this, rather than requiring a special-purpose device that
interfaces locally through the smart meter.
### What makes data transferred over this portal secure? Recall that Congress rescinded an Obama-era law pertaining
to Internet privacy.
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/lament-end-internet-privacy-read
The customer information system, which is our billing system and our custom information system, is -- we are just --
currently, it's with SAP. We have just issued an RFP and received six proposals to upgrade our CIS system. That will be
implemented by 2020. And along with that, our enterprise resource planning system, which is essentially a finance
module and HR module would be implemented thereafter.
1:19:26:
Jonathan Abendschein: (unamplified) Do you want to explain what the acronyms mean? ERP and CIS.
1:19:30:
Shiva Swaminathan: OK. OK. CIS is customer information system, and ERP is enterprise resource planning.
City of Palo Alto | City Clerk's Office | 11/21/2017 7:56 AM
5
And, after the CIS is implemented is when AMI system would be implemented. So, this kind of a broad -- four major
technology projects which are currently underway, which are going to take a lot of staff, and contracting time.
This is kind of the same thing, laid out in a graphical fashion. I won't go -- get into that. But that's for your future use.
So, here is the schematic of all these systems, in a block diagram form. So, we have the -- going from the -- let's see --
from the bottom-left, the ERP system -- the finance module -- connects to our CIS (customer information
system). Actually, let me go from the meters. So, here are the meters -- electric, gas, and water meters -- The current
thought is, through AMI, we will replace the electric meter, but we will keep the water and gas meter, and attach radios to
them, and which can then pass on -- communicate the usage, through a network, to the AMI head end, which is the top
block here, which is a piece of software sitting in the cloud. Which will be -- will collect all the data. And, through an
integration layer, will get into a meter data management system [MDMS], which keeps all the meter data. Makes sure that
it's accurate, it's verified, and it's current. And then whenever -- whatever billing system we have, it will pass on the data
relevant to that. So if we have a time-of-use -- variable time-of-use -- and we just have to program it, and it will just pass
on that relevant time slot of data to the customer information system. The my-utility account -- customer portal -- will get
some of this information directly from the MDMS. So, this kind of the overall block diagram of all these different pieces of
software -- how they work.
1:21:39:
So, what's a driver? All of us know what's a driver for AMI. So this is just a list, which all of us are well aware of.
So, here is an assessment, at a high level, looking at an investment of -- into the advanced-metering-infrastructure-based
smart grid. The -- line number 1, capital expenditure. We estimate it to be $16.5 [million]. That's the $15 million to $20
million we saw in the previous presentation. This includes cost for all the meters, setting up the network -- electric meter,
and then the radios for the water and gas. And the network integration cost -- the meter data management system, and
the implementation cost. That $16.5 million is -- about half of it is for electric -- a fourth and a fourth for gas and
water. So, the electric portion of that is about half of that. The annual operating expense -- so what do we get in
return? As Commissioner Filseth -- Council Member Filseth asked. We get an operational BENEFIT of $3.3 million, and
an incremental cost of $2.3 million. So, a net saving -- ongoing operational saving -- of about $1 million. We'll get into a
little bit of what that -- what those savings are, and what those costs are. On an NPV basis -- these systems typically last
about 20 years. The -- We've assessed this NPV for 18 years, to be conservative. And that's what you see -- the NPV
value, discounted at 3.5 percent. And if you add -- So, on an NPV basis -- So, there is operational cost savings. But it
doesn't pay for the $16.5 million. So, what you see is an NPV of $7.3 million.
### Negative $7.3 million. Who pays? Ratepayers?
Now, this is kind of -- we're calling this the base case. This is a preliminary assessment. And -- But there are sensitivities
which we can run, which -- certain cases shows a positive NPV, certain cases negative NPV. But this is a conservative
number. There are many other -- OK, well, so I'll get into what are the benefits we have NOT included, although it's
difficult to quantify.
### It's important to understand which difficult-to-quantify benefits result in savings to the City, and which are benefits to
customers, and which are benefits to society in general.
This is the same chart, just displayed graphically. The total costs include capital cost of $16.5 million, which we just
saw. It's $8 million for electric, about $4 million each for gas and water. Thereabouts. And then, we need additional staff
to manage the system. So that's kind of the estimate of the additional costs, which you see here. And then the hardware
cost, of maintaining the system, and software costs. On the benefits side, the role of meter readers would go away --
most of them. Some of them would be transitioned in to these roles. We're kind of separating out different roles into
different buckets. So, this role will go away. Many of them would be tran- -- could be -- into this part. Or other roles
within the Utility. So, we're planning in advance. There is, potentially reduced customer calls, check reads, and customer
service, and field staff, potentially a cost saving. And then, the large part -- the second largest part -- is conservation
savings, where, through energy efficiency and conservation program, we think we can engage the customer better.
### Does this energy conservation save the City money, or save the customer money?
For example, our O-Power kind of program, with these types of tools, would be very powerful. That's our estimate. And
then, optimizing our distribution systems, through a conservation voltage reduction -- that's a saving there. So, a net $44
million, over 18 years. Versus a $51 million cost, over the same 18 year period. And, the thought is, after than 18 year
City of Palo Alto | City Clerk's Office | 11/21/2017 7:56 AM
6
period, it has to be refreshed. It may have a longer life. But we've just taken an 18 year into the picture, as
a realistic one.
### The next staff report should discuss what sorts of things might cause a smart meter to become obsolete, so that it has
to be "refreshed."
### At a 10-21-15 Congressional hearing on cybersecurity, a CIO for a private-sector electric utility said smart meters
might have a life of 5 to 7 years.

This article:
03-21-17: "Smart Meters -- Significant Inaccuracies Discovered"
https://www.iotforall.com/significant-inaccuracies-discovered-in-smart-meters/
says smart meters that use Rogowski coils or Hall sensors to measure electric use can be inaccurate if the waveform
measured is "erratic." Are there smart meters that don't suffer from these kinds of inaccuracies?
1:25:50:
Chair Danaher: (unamplified) A couple of questions. (amplified) When you look at the ongoing cost savings, do you
anticipate inflation for labor rates and the like?
1:25:59:
Shiva Swaminathan: Correct. So, 3 percent inflation of costs and 1 percent escalation of value.
1:26:04:
Chair Danaher: OK.
1:26:07:
Shiva Swaminathan: Or, operating cost savings or additions at 3 percent.
1:26:12:
Chair Danaher: OK. When you look at the costs versus benefits, are you also relying on data from other places that have
put in the smart meters?
1:26:20:
Shiva Swaminathan: Yes. And that's our consultant's expertise. They have helped many utilities in California do this
project.
1:26:26:
Chair Danaher: OK.
1:26:29:
Commissioner Schwartz: I just want to say, one of our -- Since one of our big issues for resilience is the fact that we
have so many people retiring from the Utility, is the fact that you're taking a long-term approach mean that you can retrain
the meter readers to do other roles, that, then, would mitigate some of the problems we have of losing people?
1:26:51:
xx: (unamplified) Yup.

Commissioner Schwartz: So -- Good.
1:26:57:
Shiva Swaminathan: So, these were the quantifiable -- easily quantifiable benefits we've done. But there are a whole
bunch of other, difficult-to-quantify benefits -- from improved customer experience, improved reliability, and so on. There
are quite a few which we did not quantify, and these are significant. So this is just to point out -- And, for example, the
water district is looking at, hey, you know, we'll incentivize AMI to the extent it saves -- water conservation. So there are
potential grant opportunities from the water district. And several other factors which we haven't considered for that
assessment for now.
1:27:33:
Chair Danaher: In -- I was going to say -- To the extent this enables more demand-response, and DER generally, it could
help reduce capital expenditures electric generation and transmission. Right?
### DER = distributed energy resources.
1:27:47:
Shiva Swaminathan: Ah ...
1:27:48:
Chair Danaher: We might -- our peak -- we might be able lower our peak requirements?
1:27:51:
Shiva Swaminathan: Correct. Correct.
1:27:53:
Chair Danaher: And that savings isn't mentioned here. Or is it, in the other slide?
1:28:00:
Shiva Swaminathan: I don't think we quantified the demand reduction. Directly. Because we say the DER is doing
that. So, this -- We can optimize it. The optimization benefit is not captured here.
1:28:19:
Chair Danaher: (unamplified) A lot of DERs can depend on this ** ...
1:28:22:
Shiva Swaminathan: To get the most value out of it. That's correct. So, we haven't quantified that. That's harder to
quantify. The flexibility -- how it provides the flexibility to move around -- we haven't quantified that.
1:28:33:
Commissioner Schwartz: So, one of the things that I don't see yet -- and maybe it's coming later, but -- The idea of
outage detection, and leak detection, are just huge benefits.
### Leak detection benefits the customer, not the City (except to the extent that the City has a sort of insurance program
to help people pay for water wasted because of leaks).
### If the City had a citywide municipal FTTP network, then that network could be used to detect and report electric
outages at its customers' premises.
City of Palo Alto | City Clerk's Office | 11/21/2017 7:56 AM

And I don't know how you quantify that. But the idea of people knowing, you know, the utility has visibility when your
house is out, and knows whether you've -- you're back on again, and can give you a better estimate of when that's going
to be -- has proven, in other communities, to be just an enormous benefit, that, in the early days, no one anticipated how
valuable that was going to be to people. And it's just -- it's just -- enormous. And I don't know how you put a number on
it. But it really is an important thing for people in the community, to sort of get that information.
1:29:23:
Shiva Swaminathan: Right. That's our thought. And that's our bullet item number two: improved reliability. Given our
relatively reliable system currently. So, it helps us detect -- identify the problem quicker. And that is a value. But we
haven't -- There are ways to quantify it, but it's not -- we didn't get into that. Because that requires a lot of
estimations. These are the values we were able to readily come up with. And we can add a few. So, it's not easy, but it's
-- And -- But we didn't want to make assump- -- too many assumptions. Into that. **, improved reliability. And better
asset utilization. For example, looking at our transformers, we haven't -- If we have a better visibility of how our
distribution transformers are faring, we don't have to be conservative, replacing them ahead of time. So, there are lots of
other value streams, which very much depend on future scenarios. We didn't want get into too much detail on that. This
is a first cut at a conservative estimate.
1:30:30:
So, what's our findings to date? So, this is an interim check-in with the Commission. The analysis suggests a significant
investment. The CapEx estimate, given that this technology is mature, and our consultants have done many of these
projects, are relatively stable. But on the operational benefits and the costs, they are estimates. And that could vary
widely. And, certain scenarios, this could be a -- could show a very good investment -- return on investment. But this
is our base case. But, again, as we talked about, the difficult-to-quantify values are -- can be relatively large. And our
consultant and we feel that if we do this as an engaged community, we'll be able to better utilize than other
communities. Given our ** community, EVs, and PVs, our penetration -- can do much more with it. A lot of things we
don't know. It's coming. Futureproofing -- as the commissioner was talking about. And given our ambitious sustainability
goals. So, base on all this, it is an enabling technology. It's a strategic investment. So, staff does recommend, even with
these numbers, to still go ahead an make the investment in the next five years. And to be part of our Strategic Plan going
forward.
1:31:58:
So, the question to the Commission is, do you agree with that recommendation? It's a discussion item. But I just wanted
to get your input. And it will come back in a couple of months, with a report, with our consultants, and with a
recommendation. In February timeline.
1:32:20:
Chair Danaher: All right. Comments or questions, commissioners, Council members?
1:32:23:
Council Member Filseth: Um, just really briefly. The -- Finance and the City are going through an exercise of trying to
more accurately calculate pension costs. And it's not finished yet. But my guess is that, once that's done, there'll be
maybe a couple of millions -- a couple million dollars more savings on the meter reading thing than you folks have
here. And it's an accounting thing. Thanks.
1:32:54:
Chair Danaher: Commissioners? Comments? All right.
1:32:59:
Commissioner Schwartz: (unamplified) I just want to say something. You can go first.
1:33:01:
Chair Danaher: No. Please.
City of Palo Alto | City Clerk's Office | 11/21/2017 7:56 AM

1:33:03:
Commissioner Schwartz: I just want to say, I am very enthusiastic about this. I think it's a long time coming. And all the
ambitions and things we want to do as a City -- this is kind of a fundamental baseline technology. Just like, we can't do
everything on the Internet without routers. And so, I think that there's a lot of evidence from other communities and other
jurisdictions that you do realize value from this on a lot of levels. And I think that we have every reason to believe that
they will -- that they will -- it will work really positively in our community. And so I encourage my colleagues to be
supportive of this.
1:33:48:
Chair Danaher: And by the time it's implemented, there'll be many more programs than are apparent now, that others will
have been using. So, is there a motion, to agree with the rec- -- to support the recommendation, that Utilities should
proceed with the AMI strategic investment?
1:34:03:
Commissioner Schwartz: I'll move that we adopt this.
1:34:06:
Shiva Swaminathan: This is a discussion item, so we don't necessarily need a motion. But a consensus -- a nod would
be ...
1:34:15:
Chair Danaher: Let me ask individual commissioners how you feel about proceeding with this plan?
1:34:19:
Jonathan Abendschein: We're able to take a motion if need be.
1:34:23:
Chair Danaher: OK, I will do this as a motion. So, the motion would be, the commission recommends that the Utility
proceed with planning the implementation of AMI.
1:34:34:
Commissioner Forssell: I second.
### At this point, an invitation to discuss the motion would have been appropriate.
1:34:37:
Chair Danaher: All in favor?
1:34:40:
Commissioners Danaher, Schwartz, Forssell, Johnston, Segal: Aye.
1:34:40:
Chair Danaher: OK. All in favor.
1:34:41:
Commissioner Trumbull: I'm a "no."
City of Palo Alto | City Clerk's Office | 11/21/2017 7:56 AM
10
1:34:43:
Chair Danaher: Oh, you're a "no." OK. Did you want to discuss it at all, or comment more?
1:34:48:
Commissioner Trumbull: Well, there's a couple of factors. I'm not prepared to write off $7 million of City money, which is
what I read this as saying. And, I had an alleged "smart meter" experiment put on in my house last year. And a more
useless piece of equipment. About eight or nine different meters. And it was completely useless. Poorly
constructed. Everything about it was done poorly. This is through Palo Alto Medical Clinic.
1:35:22:
Chair Danaher: Hmm.
1:35:23:
Commissioner Trumbull: So, I hope to God the technology's better. But I'm not about to say I want to support it now.
1:35:29:
Chair Danaher: OK. (unamplified) This to proceed with the planning, not to implement ...
1:35:34:
Commissioner Trumbull: I understand. And I might have thought differently if I was a swing vote about where I'm
going. But I want to make it clear that I think that there's some things that need to be done.
1:35:49:
Chair Danaher: (unamplified) All right. So, I appreciate the comment ** Shiva, somebody might want to follow up, find
out ** ...
1:35:56:
Shiva Swaminathan: Yes. We'll do that. Thank you.
1:36:02:
Chair Danaher: OK. All right. We're done with that agenda item.

Petition to Palo Alto City Council
Dear Mayor Scharff, Vice-Mayor Kniss and Council Members DuBois, Filseth, Fine, Holman, Kou,
Tanaka and Wolbach:
Delivered today to the Palo Alto City Clerk Office's is a petition, signed by hundreds of Palo Altans,
that calls on City Council 1) to consider at a public meeting the issue of cell towers in residential
neighborhoods; 2) to direct City Staff to use every possible tool to keep the cell industry's ugly, noisy
and bulky equipment away from people's homes; and 3) to, if needed, pass tough new ordinances to
accomplish that end.
I hope and trust you will give it your full consideration.
