People legally prohibited from having guns, people at risk of firearm suicide and children routinely gain access to
firearms because those firearms are not stored in a secure and responsible manner. Whether the guns are taken
from family or friends or stolen from strangers, much of the violence caused by unauthorized access to firearms
can be prevented.
California has taken steps to address this by requiring people to responsibly store their firearms to prevent access
by children and to keep guns out of the hands of prohibited persons. Localities can further encourage a culture of
responsible gun storage by passing local responsible storage laws.

INTRODUCTION
Whether a result of children or other family members or friends getting access to firearms or others stealing them,
unauthorized access to firearms is a major source of today’s gun violence.
An estimated 4.6 million American children live in households with at least one loaded, unlocked firearm.1 Every
year, hundreds of American children gain access to firearms and unintentionally shoot themselves or someone
else.2
Estimates suggest that between 200,000 and 500,000 guns are stolen from individuals each year.3
Access to a firearm also increases the risk of death by suicide. This elevated suicide risk applies not only to gun
owners, but to all people in the household.4 In the case of children dying by firearm suicide, over 80 percent use a
gun belonging to a family member.5
In up to 80 percent of incidents of gun violence on school grounds, shooters obtain their guns from their own
home, a relative’s home or from friends.6
In all of these cases, these risks could be averted through simple steps by gun owners to secure their firearms in
order to prevent unauthorized access.

KEY FINDINGS
States that enacted responsible firearm storage laws have seen reductions in firearm suicide rates and
unintentional firearm death rates in children.7
Responsible firearm storage practices are associated with reductions in the risk of self-inflicted and unintentional
firearm injuries among children and teens—up to 85 percent depending on the type of storage practice.8
Gun owners are significantly less likely to have a gun stolen if they store all of their guns locked and unloaded,9 yet
more than half of gun owners do not store all of their guns responsibly.10
Nineteen states – including California - have some form of responsible firearm storage law.11
Over a dozen California cities, including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Oakland, and San Jose have also adopted
responsible firearm storage ordinances.12
California’s statewide responsible storage law generally requires persons to store firearms responsibly in order to
prevent access by persons legally prohibited from having guns and by children.13

RECOMMENDATIONS
Municipalities in California can pass local responsible storage ordinances that build upon current state law. These
laws will give local officials another important tool to help prevent unauthorized access to firearms. Localities
should also seek ways to build public awareness about responsible firearm storage.

Thank you for everything you do to keep Campbell safe for everyone. We are volunteer
members of the Silicon Valley Alliance for Gun Safety, a non-partisan, grassroots
organization of both gun owners and non-gun owners, who share the goal of reducing
gun violence and promoting gun safety for everyone. We believe the 2nd Amendment
can be respected, while simultaneously better protecting people through common sense
gun legislation. Our members represent the Brady Campaign, Community Interfaith
Voice, Everytown’s Moms Demand Action, Indivisible, Safe Cities Coalition, and Scrubs
Addressing the Firearm Epidemic.
We respectfully request that Campbell adopt a Safe Storage Ordinance that requires all
firearms in a residence to be securely stored in a locked container or disabled with a
trigger lock. The majority of all the towns and cities in Santa Clara County have now
adopted safe storage and we hope Campbell will do the same. We would be happy to
produce a list of local communities that have passed safe storage ordinances as well as
a copy of the ordinance passed by Santa Clara County which includes a civil penalty
rather than a criminal penalty.
.
Here are the facts:
• One small child dies every day in this country after finding an unsecured firearm
in their own home or in a relative’s home or while playing at a friend’s house.
• Two older children, particularly teens, die every day in this country by suicide
from an unsecured firearm they obtain from their home or another family
member’s home.
• In addition, 80% of school mass shootings are done by current or former
students, using an unsecured firearm obtained from their own home or a
relative’s home.
• Research shows that keeping guns securely stored does NOT hinder selfprotection- a gun can be accessed within seconds- but it DOES prevent
unintentional deaths of children and teen suicides, by as much as 85%
depending on the type of storage.
•
Storing firearms in a securely locked container can also prevent guns from being
easily stolen in a home robbery. A DOJ- approved safe can be obtained for as
little as $40 so the cost is not prohibitive, and trigger locks are often given out
free at police stations.
While The California Penal Code (25100) addresses child access to firearms, it doesn’t
go far enough. It does not define how to safely store a firearm and it doesn’t apply to all
homes. For example, parents often hide their guns rather than locking them up, but
studies show 70% of children know the location of these hidden guns in their own home
and many have even handled them. In addition, gun owners who do not safely store
their guns are significantly more likely to have their guns stolen. Data suggests that

Campbell's Plan for Housing - Housing Opportunity Sites Selection (PLN2021-12)
Recommended Action: That the City Council review the Tier 1 Housing
Opportunity Sites and provide direction to staff on which sites should be included
in Campbell’s Plan for Housing and the City’s Envision Campbell General Plan
Update and provide feedback on key principals to guide which Housing
Opportunity Sites should be designated for mixed-use development.
Community Development Director Rob Eastwood introduced the Staff Report
dated January 25, 2022 noting that tonight’s session is for Council to provide
feedback on key principles relating to mixed-use sites, and for any final
comments prior to Staff moving into the Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
phase of the Housing Element. Director Eastwood noted the goal is to start as
broad as possible with the number of sites studied as part of the EIR process and
there will be sites that are not ultimately qualified to be included as part of the
Housing Element, and so by starting with the broadest number possible will
provide the City a buffer as sites are ultimately eliminated from the list. In order to

SPECIAL MEETING OF THE CAMPBELL CITY COUNCIL
Tuesday, January 25, 2022 – 6:30 p.m.
City Hall Council Chamber – 70 N. First Street

David Hogan, M-Group Representative, reviewed the feedback received from
both the Planning Commission and the City Council, reviewed the public
outreach completed to date, and the site selection ranking utilized by Staff. Mr.
Hogan noted that those sites indicated as Tier 1 sites are included in the maps
presented to Council and will be included in the EIR process for review. These
sites total over 5,000 to begin the EIR review. Mr. Hogan reviewed the draft
maps, noting the Tier 2 sites and those remaining from the 5th Regional Housing
Needs Assessment (RHNA) Cycle that are not being included in the 6 th Cycle.
Director Eastwood noted that the Campbell Technology Park has some unique
challenges relating to ingress/egress and may have development limitations
through 2030 as this site was originally a Redevelopment Agency project,
however the property owners have shown a strong interest in developing housing
on this site or doing a land swap with the City for the Corporation Yard location.
Staff is recommending including the Campbell Technology Park in the EIR. Staff
is also recommending studying the current Corporation Yard as a housing site
noting the need to move the facility should that be deemed a feasible site. This
site provides a unique opportunity to provide higher density housing and a more
affordable housing project given it is on City land, and it is in close proximity to
other higher density housing. Staff is also recommending keeping the First Street
Parking Garage site on the list, noting the parking challenges and the existing
parking agreements that would need to be investigated on this site. Director
Eastwood noted that the City of Campbell’s RHNA target is 3,300 including a
30% buffer, and by utilizing the ranking system identified, Staff has identified over
5,000 sites that are planned to be studied in the EIR. This will allow the City
flexibility to drop some sites that are deemed infeasible, or through other factors
during the eight-year RHNA cycle, and still meet the required number of housing
units.
Director Eastwood noted that since City Council’s last meeting in December
2021, Staff has received requests from property owners to drop 283 sites from
consideration and add 112 sites to the list. Staff is recommending that all Tier 1
sites requested to be dropped remain on the site list to study and that all Tier 1
sites asked to be added to the list be added for study. This again will provide the
City the greatest flexibility during the EIR process and for the best outcomes
throughout the RHNA Cycle.
In response to inquiries, Director Eastwood noted that these maps do not provide
for any additional open space and that Staff would need to return at a later date
for Council to consider adjusting the park to unit ratio across the City. Director
Eastwood clarified that the 3,300 target number already takes into account any
projects currently in the pipeline and projections of potential Accessory Dwelling
Unit (ADU) production.

complete the Housing Element on time, it is not possible to add sites during the
EIR process.

2

In response to inquiries, Director Eastwood noted that Staff is recommending
removing Tier 2 sites from study because they have been in previous RHNA
cycles without ever being developed, the parcel is too small, there is very little
common ownership, or they didn’t meet the other criteria developed to identify
the most potentially fruitful sites. Director Eastwood clarified that this evening is
about site selection, and that additional conversations will be had with Council
throughout 2022 in relation to the tools and strategies the City can use to meet
affordability targets.
Senior Planner Stephen Rose presented the four key principles for Council to
consider for mixed-use development and noted that mixed-use can pose
challenges for development. Staff is recommending they be used in higher
density parcels, on larger sites, for pedestrian oriented projects, and in places
where it could help offset other services. Staff feels a mixed-use project could be
most helpful in the Pruneyard area, the Fry’s Electronic site, and the walkable
area between Campbell Avenue and the Pruneyard. The Planning Commission
has requested this to include the major arterial corridors and the Milk Farm Dairy
site in the southwest area of the City. Staff is seeking feedback from Council on
whether mixed-use should be deemed mandatory in some areas or if having an
option for mixed-use is preferable.
Senior Planner Rose presented a chart depicting the potential height of a
building/development among other factors and spoke of the methods and tools
available to help keep the height of a building to the 75 ft. limit for the City of
Campbell but noted that there may be instances where the building is taller than
75 ft. as allowed by State law. Staff has tools to assist with this concern through
development standards and the like but cannot guarantee it. Director Eastwood
noted that Staff would return to Council throughout 2022 with additional methods
and tools for addressing affordability and building height considerations.
Mayor Resnikoff opened the floor for public comment.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Mike Krisman, Campbell Village HOA Representative, urged the City to pass
impact fees to help pay for the needed services that additional residents will
bring.
Allen Ishibashi, Campbell Resident, urged the City to allow the Uplift Family
Services site to move forward with their development at 20 units/acre and for
identifying sites for townhome development that will include the “missing middle”
and families.

Jim Sullivan, Campbell Resident, urged the City to allow the Uplift Family
Services site to move forward with their development at 20 units/acre.
Sarah Chaffin, Campbell Resident, requested her properties be included in the
EIR at 75 units/acre.

Raja Pallela, Campbell Resident, requested Council keep mixed-use optional so
as not to restrict development, but also urged the schools needs to be
considered if so many new residents will be coming into the City.
Bill Baron, Campbell Resident, requested Council keep mixed-use optional so as
not to restrict development, and requested to include the Housing Element in the
next General Plan process for a wholistic review by the Committee.
Susan O’Brien, Campbell Resident, spoke of the delicate balance in providing
more housing but keeping the Campbell feel.
Bruce Bowen, Campbell Resident, spoke of the need to build larger units that
attract families and noted that mixed-use developments can be seen as added
amenities as well.
Peter Beritzhoff, San Tomas Plaza Owner, noted his interest in having the entire
property included in the EIR process.
Marla Lemarchand, Campbell Resident, urged the Council to consider ways to
improve pedestrian safety when considering additional housing coming into
Campbell.
Nancy Tepperman, Campbell Resident, spoke of her concerns relating to traffic,
open space crowding, and walkability with adding high density near the
Budd/Winchester area.
Kevin Krewell, Campbell Resident, spoke of his concerns relating to the height of
buildings along Winchester and adjacent to neighborhoods and stressed the
need to keep the Campbell feel.
Christa Reichmuth, Campbell Resident, supports smart growth and a balanced
approach with keeping family spaces and clean and open site line views.
Austin G., Campbell Resident, spoke of the need to plan for smart growth and for
the need to mandate mixed-use in some of the areas around the City, and noted
that building height isn’t of so much concern around light rail stations.

for the new residents and for this to be a consideration in the EIR.

Council recessed at 8:28 p.m. and reconvened at 8:41 p.m. with one member absent.
Director Eastwood clarified that some sites included in the EIR are most suited to
townhome production at 20 units/acre and that the EIR process will include
projections of future utility usage noting that most of the projects developed in
today’s climate include plans to mitigate water usage for landscaping.
Community Development is advising Uplift Family Services to wait for this EIR
process to be completed so that the Housing.

Councilmember
Gibbons
noted
that
mixed-use
can
include
office/retail/commercial uses and can be included on the first and second floor of
a development project. Councilmember Gibbons expressed a desire for
transitional building heights and for open spaces along the Winchester corridor,
and for including the First Street Parking Garage and Corporation Yard for EIR
analysis but noted the extensive challenges with both locations. Councilmember
Gibbons could support the Technology Park if it included a nearby pedestrian
bridge. Councilmember Gibbons requested Tier 2 sites around the Downtown
Campbell light rail station to be included in the EIR analysis as it is an ideal
location which just needs some creative development projects. Councilmember
Gibbons requested large single-family parcels on Rincon Avenue to be included,
supports higher densities on the corner of Bascom and Hamilton but lower
densities on the east side of Bascom to be respectful of the historic nearby
neighborhoods, supports higher density at the culinary school site, and supports
inclusion of the entire San Tomas Plaza site. Councilmember Gibbons expressed
concern that the Southwest area of Campbell is a food desert and is supportive
of mixed-use at the Milk Dairy Farm site and for encouraging open space in this
area of the City.
Councilmember Lopez noted that he is not supportive of removing sites from the
EIR process at this stage, noting the increased penalties of not meeting the
RHNA numbers, the most significant being loss of local control. Councilmember
Lopez is supportive of adding the sites identified by Councilmember Gibbons.
Councilmember Lopez noted that he would like to see a point system developed
for identifying the best sites for mixed-use projects and is supportive of adding
the Planning Commissions recommendation to provide mixed-use opportunities
along the commercial corridors, adding incentives or even mandating for some
higher density projects.
Councilwoman Landry displayed a chart depicting the various ways a
development project could exceed the City’s 75 ft. building height limit and
expressed concerns that this may happen more than Council intends it to with
higher density projects. Councilwoman Landry stated that she did not want to
include more than 4,000 units in the EIR process for analysis. Councilwoman
Landry is not supportive of including the Corporation Yard or the First Street

Mayor Resnikoff stated that he is not supportive of all the sites identified thus far
but would like them all included in the EIR process to continue to identify those
sites most feasible for inclusion in the final Housing Element. Mayor Resnikoff
stressed his concern about losing services that are going to be needed by
residents, such as auto repair shops, and would like to keep these sites as they
are if possible. Mayor Resnikoff noted his concerns relating to mandating mixeduse for some developments, stating that some sites it could be best suited for it,
however mandating it in the Pruneyard where other retail is already located could
be problematic. He would like to see more information relating to building
heights, tools to limit the height, and specific areas where going taller may be
more acceptable.
Councilmember Gibbons requested the Finance Director issue a one-page
informational memorandum on the property tax implications of this Housing
Element process.
Director Eastwood summarized Council consensus as including all Tier 1 sites,
adding in the late property owner requested sites, evaluating higher density on
Bascom and Hamilton, adding in the Tier 2 sites near the Downtown Campbell
light rail station, adding in larger parcels on Rincon Avenue, including the entire
San Tomas Plaza site, including the Corporation Yard, First Street Parking
Garage, and the Technology Park, and removing the auto repair shop sites along
Winchester from the EIR process.

challenges with the site. Councilwoman Landry noted her support for including

support for investigating establishing impact fees to support the needed City

Receive Input from the Community on the Draft District Maps Submitted for
the Redistricting of City Council District Boundaries (Time Certain 7:45 PM)
Recommended Action: Receive input from the Community on the draft district
maps submitted for the Redistricting of City Council district boundaries and
provide any necessary feedback and direction to Staff.
This is the time and place for a public hearing to receive input from the
community on the draft districts maps submitted for the Redistricting of the City
Council district boundaries.
City Clerk Christopherson reviewed the Staff Report dated February 1, 2022
stating that this meeting represents the third in a series of four required public
hearings and that this is the first opportunity for Council to consider draft district
maps. City Clerk Christopherson reviewed the public outreach process
completed to date.
Dr. Jeff Tilton, National Demographic Consultants (NDC), reviewed the Federal
and California Laws that must be followed when jurisdictions are considering
boundaries for purposes of elections, and reported that in addition to the current
City boundary map, which was deemed population balanced with the results of
the 2020 U.S. Federal Census, there were four additional maps submitted by
members of the public (maps 101 – 104). Dr. Tilton reported that map 103 was
disqualified as the population between districts is not balanced.

In response to an inquiry, Dr. Tilton noted that if any changes to the maps this
year, cause two Councilmembers to reside in one District, that Councilmember
would not be immediately removed from office. The Councilmember would
remain in their seat representing their area until the next scheduled election for
that district.

Anne Souza, Campbell Village Neighborhood Association representative, spoke
in support of map 101 which was submitted by their neighborhood group and
adjusts the boundaries to keep McGlincy Avenue and Union Avenue in District 1.
Ms. Souza also noted agreement with map 102 which uses Winchester
Boulevard as a boundary and also keeps the Campbell Village Neighborhood
Association together.
There being no further public comments, the public hearing was closed.
Councilwoman Landry presented google map images of the current District 1 and
District 2 boundary lines and expressed concerns relating to splitting the
Campbell Village Neighborhood and the lack of a park in District 1.
Councilwoman Landry noted that map 101 does not disenfranchise any voters
between Districts 1 and 2, and noted that the boundary should be Highway 17,
and not the frontage road.
Councilmember Gibbons stressed the viewpoint that the Campbell City Council
governs on a City-as-a-Whole basis, even though the residents vote by district
and noted her highest priority is in not disenfranchising residents, some of whom
have not had the opportunity to vote since 2018.
Councilmember Lopez expressed agreement with Councilmember Gibbons
noting that the current district boundary map is population balanced and he feels
there is a high bar that would need to be met in order to justify changing
boundary lines.
Councilmember Bybee agreed with not disenfranchising any voters and stated
that she is supportive of the current district boundary map as there was an
extensive process completed in 2019, it is still population balanced, and she
would like to see the current map in place for a longer period before any changes
are made.
Mayor Resnikoff stated his agreement with the usability of the current district
boundary map and stressed his agreement with Councilmember Gibbons that the
Councilmembers govern on a City-as-a-Whole basis and not by district as is
done in some other cities. Mayor Resnikoff noted that there is another map
submittal deadline of February 18, 2022 for anybody who would like to present
boundary maps for consideration.

types, the first is unexpected expenses and the second is need based requests,
these need based requests include some personnel changes such as unfreezing

previously frozen positions or modifying the position type to accommodate a
change in the workload needs.

In response to an inquiry, Finance Director Fuentes noted that the line item
relating to the Museum flood repairs of $20,784 is what will be required after the
City receives any insurance reimbursement monies.
Vice Mayor Bybee stated her concerns relating to the personnel requests noting
that she prefers not to make personnel adjustments outside of the normal budget
cycle to ensure all costs of adding or changing positions can be absorbed and
are appropriate for the budget levels. Vice Mayor Bybee expressed concerns
relating to the completeness of the staff report noting her desire to include more
information relating to duties assigned to each position and what working
conditions have changed to justify the need for adding or changing personnel.
Councilmember Gibbons expressed concerns relating to the costing in this midyear report and requested clarification if the costs included are one-time costs,
ongoing costs or just represent one quarter. Councilmember Gibbons expressed
concern that the items identified during the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)
discussions were not included, such as the Community Center Wi-Fi needs and
the Ainsley House roof needs. Councilmember Gibbons expressed support for
the Community Development requests and the Intersection License Plate Reader
cameras.
Councilmember Lopez stated that he is viewing these personnel requests as staff
reprioritizing their departmental needs noting that several the personnel costs are
offset in other areas, and he is uncomfortable pushing some of these requests to
the budget cycle if they satisfy an urgent need in the departments.
Mayor Resnikoff noted that he is supportive of making personnel changes at the
point in which a position is vacant, as this is often the best time to make the
change but did state that additional information could be very helpful on some of
these requests.
City Manager Loventhal noted a correction to the needs-based request list, there
is an offset relating to the conversion of a Senior Engineering Technician to an
Administrative Analyst position. This line item should be reflected as a -$10,000
bringing the total needs based requested to $440,000.

Public Works Director Todd Capurso noted that the increased contractual costs

Resolution Reviewing and Accepting the Annual Developer Fee
Disclosure Information for the Environmental Services Fee, Parkland
Dedication Fee, and Vehicle Impact Fee and Making Five-Year
Findings for the Parkland Dedication Fee and Vehicle Impact Fee for
the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021 Pursuant to California
Government Code (GC) Section 66001 (Resolution/Roll Call Vote)

RECOMMENDED ACTION
That the City Council adopt a resolution consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act (AB1600) to review and accept the annual developer fee disclosure information for the
Environmental Services Fee, Parkland Dedication Fee, and Vehicle Impact Fee and
make five-year findings for the Parkland Dedication Fee and Vehicle Impact Fee for the
Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2021 pursuant to California Government Code (GC) Section
66001.
BACKGROUND
California Government Code Section 66000 et seq. (“Mitigation Fee Act”) requires local
agencies to provide an accounting of fees charged for development projects. Effective
January 1, 1989, AB-1600 required new accounting guidelines for the imposition and
use of such fees. Effective January 1, 1997, SB-1693 further amended and expanded
the provisions of the Code with respect to the accounting and reporting requirements.
The City has two basic accounting and reporting responsibilities under the Government
Code. Section 66001(d) requires that, five years after collecting a development fee
subject to this Code section and every five years thereafter, the local agency shall make
findings with respect to any portion of the fee remaining unexpended, whether
committed or uncommitted. If the required findings are not made, the unexpended funds
shall be refunded to the current property owners.
These five-year findings must:
1. Identify the purpose of the fee;
2. Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for
which it was charged;
3. Identify all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing of
incomplete improvements; and
4. Designate the approximate dates on which these funding sources can be

Packet Pg. 49

6
Annual Status Report on Project Development Fees (AB-1600)

Page 2 of 4

expected to be deposited into the appropriate account or fund.
When sufficient funds have been collected to complete financing on incomplete public
improvements, the local agency has 180 days to identify an approximate date by which
the construction of the public improvement will begin or else is required to refund the
unexpended fees, including accrued interest, to the current owner of lots or units of the
development project.
For the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2021 (FY 2021), the City needs to make five-year
findings for the remaining unexpended fee proceeds for the Parkland Dedication Fee
and the Vehicle Impact Fee. Five-year findings are not required under the Government
Code for the Environmental Services Fee. The second requirement set forth under
Government Code Section 66006(b)(1) provides that each local agency is required on
an annual basis, for each separate account, to make available to the public the following
information:
1. Brief description of the type of fee in the account;
2. The amount of the fee;
3. The account’s beginning and ending balance;
4. The amount of fees collected and the interest earned;
5. A description of the improvements on which the funds were expended and the
amount expended on each improvement including the percentage of the
improvement funded with development fees;
6. An approximate date by which the construction of a public improvement will
begin if the local agency determines that sufficient funds have been collected to
complete financing on the incomplete improvement;
7. A description of each inter-fund transfer or loan made from the account;
8. The amount of any refunds made pursuant to Code Section 66001.
The City deposits impact fees subject to the above disclosure in the Environmental
Services Fund (209), the Parkland Dedication Fund (295), and the Vehicle Impact Fund
(202) to track these development related fees. Interest income is allocated to each fund
based on their respective monthly cash balances. Expenditures from these funds were
in the form of capital improvement projects to either renovate existing facilities or
maintain the existing level of service, consistent with the General Plan and approved
Capital Improvement Plan, due to increased demand related to development projects.
DISCUSSION
Annual reports, which are shown as Exhibits to the resolution accompanying this staff
report (Attachment A), summarize the FY 2021 fund activity for the Environmental
Services Fee (Exhibit 1), the Parkland Dedication Fee (Exhibit 2), and the Vehicle
Impact Fee (Exhibit 3). The reports show the amount of fees collected in FY 2021,
interest income, a brief description of the projects funded, the percentage of the projects
funded by the development fees, and the beginning and ending balance of the funds.
Table 1 below shows the beginning fund balance, revenues received, expenditures, and

* Annual reporting for the Environmental Services Fee is subject to Government Code
Section 66013, however those reporting requirements are substantially similar to the
annual reporting requirements under Government code section 66006 and are referred
to collectively here for convenience.
Additional reports, which are also shown as Exhibits to the resolution accompanying this
staff report (Attachment A), include Five-Year Findings Reports for the Parkland
Dedication Fee (Exhibit 4) and the Vehicle Impact Fee (Exhibit 5). These reports
identify the purpose of each fee, demonstrate the reasonable relationship between the
fee and the purpose for which the fee was charged, identify the sources and amounts of
funding anticipated to complete financing of improvements and designate approximate
dates on which these funding sources can be expected. Again, five-year findings are
not required under the Government Code for the Environmental Services Fee and have
not been provided.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for reviewing and accepting this report and approving the
resolution and related exhibits. The preparation of this report and resolution is an annual
recurring process that is included within current City services and whose time and costs
have been built into the FY 2022 Operating Budget.

Summary: This Five-Year Report provides information and findings on unexpended
funds in the Parkland Dedication Fee account as of June 30, 2021 pursuant to
Government Code section 66001(d).
Fund Information: The Parkland Dedication Fund (295) currently contains Four
Million Four Hundred Eighty-Five Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty-Four Dollars
($4,485,754) in unexpended Parkland Dedication Fees for acquisition, development
and improvements to community and neighborhood parks in accordance with the
Open Space Element (“Unexpended Fee”).
Pursuant to Government Code section 66001(d)(1):
A. Purpose. The Unexpended Parkland Dedication Fees will be used to fund
acquisition, development and improvements to community and neighborhood
parks in accordance with the Open Space Element as identified in the City of
Campbell Parks and Recreation Quimby Act Fee Update dated December 9,
2019 and the City’s Capital Improvement Program 2021-2025. The projects
include:
a. 15NN - San Tomas Aquino Creek Trail
b. 17DD - Campbell Park Improvements Design
c. 18PP - JDM Improvements-Budd
d. 20AA - Auxiliary Gym Upgrades
e. 21KK - Campbell Park Bicycle Pathway
f. 21PP - Campbell Community Center Track Resurfacing
g. 23DD - JDM Park Parking Lots
h. 24DD - JDM Restrooms Improvement - Budd
i. 24EE - JDM Rincon Recreational Building Assessment
j. 25AA - JDM Improvements – Rincon
B. Relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it is charged.
There exists a reasonable relationship between the Unexpended Fee
described above and the purpose for which it was charged because the
improvements will acquire, develop and improve community and neighborhood
parks in accordance with the Open Space Element and as set forth in the City
of Campbell Parks and Recreation Quimby Act Fee Update dated December
9, 2019. The Fee is a means of ensuring that new developments construct
their own parks or provide the City a means for acquisition, development and
improvements to community and neighborhood parks in accordance with the
Open Space Element.
C. Sources of funding anticipated to complete financing of incomplete

improvements. Based on the City of Campbell Parks and Recreation Quimby
Act Fee Update dated December 9, 2019, the weighted average of fair market
value for parkland acquisition is Three Million Seven Hundred Twenty-One
Thousand Eight Hundred Seventy-Three Dollars ($3,721,873) per acre. On
November 5, 2019, the City Council approved a reduced valuation of Three
Million ($3,000,000) per acre for calculating in-lieu fees for parkland
acquisition. According to Section 66477(a)(2) of the Government Code, the
amount of land to be dedicated or in-lieu fees to be imposed shall not exceed
the amount necessary to provide three (3) acres of parkland per 1,000
residents, unless certain criteria is met. The City General Plan Policy to use
the Quimby Act to provide three (3) acres of community, neighborhood, and
passive parks per 1,000 residents is consistent with this statutory requirement.
Since the City currently provides fewer than three (3) acres per 1,000
residents, the City cannot impose a higher standard through the Quimby
Program. All other costs that cannot be funded by the Parkland Dedication
Fee are expected to be funded by outside grants.
D. Approximate dates on which the funding will be deposited. Parkland
Dedication Fees are required to be deposited as developers obtain building
permits; the dates on which future Fees will be collected is unknown.

Summary: This Five-Year Report provides information and findings on unexpended
funds in the Vehicle Impact Fee account as of June 30, 2021 pursuant to
Government Code section 66001(d).
Fund Information: The Vehicle Impact Fund (202) currently contains Five Hundred
Forty-Eight Thousand Two Hundred Seventy-Nine Dollars ($548,279) in unexpended
Vehicle Impact Fees to fund the cost of street replacement and maintenance due to
the cumulative impact of construction and other commercial vehicles at development
sites (“Unexpended Fee”).
Pursuant to Government Code section 66001(d)(1):
A. Purpose. The Unexpended Vehicle Impact Fees will be used to fund the cost
of street replacement and maintenance due to the cumulative impact of
construction and other commercial vehicles at development sites as identified
in the City of Campbell Road Maintenance Fees Analysis, dated June 2007
and the City’s Capital Improvement Program 2021-2025. The projects include:
a. 20JJ – Bascom/City Pavement Seal
b. 21BB – Annual Street Maintenance
c. 21SS – Camden Avenue Resurfacing
d. 22BB – Annual Street Maintenance
B. Relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it is charged.
There exists a reasonable relationship between the Unexpended Fee
described above and the purpose for which it was charged because the
improvements will fund the cost of street replacement and maintenance due to
the cumulative impact of construction and other commercial vehicles at
development sites as set forth in the City of Campbell Road Maintenance Fees
Analysis, dated June 2007. The Fee is a means of ensuring that new
developments mitigate the impacts of vehicles to streets and roadways as a
result of their developments.
C. Sources of funding anticipated to complete financing of incomplete
improvements. Based on the City of Campbell Road Maintenance Fees
Analysis, dated June 2007, the rate of 0.32% of building permit valuation was
established due to related estimated annual street maintenance costs of
$244,292 caused by construction vehicles. All other costs that cannot be
funded by the Vehicle Impact Fee are expected to be funded by state, county,
and federal transportation allocations to the City as well as garage and permit
fees.

Commending Alex Mordwinow for More Than Nine Years of Service
with the City of Campbell Upon His Retirement (Resolution/Roll Call
Vote)

RECOMMENDED ACTION
That the City Council adopt a resolution commending Alex Mordwinow for more than
nine years of outstanding service to the City of Campbell.
DISCUSSION
Alex Mordwinow began his career with the City of Campbell as Maintenance
Superintendent in the Public Works Department in December 2012. In this position,
Alex has been responsible for managing the City’s maintenance and operations
sections and maintaining the City’s infrastructure.
Alex has had a long career, having worked for more than 35 years in local government,
public service and nearly 45 years overall. Throughout his career, Alex has not only
managed the day-to-day maintenance activities for the City, but he also strived to
implement process improvements and develop staff in an effort to improve the overall
delivery of maintenance services. Ultimately, his efforts have served to improve the
overall quality of life for Campbell residents and have left the organization in position to
better address future challenges.
Alex was instrumental in the creation and implementation of maintenance zones
throughout the City and moving City resources more towards pro-active maintenance
activities while retaining the ability for the organization to respond to urgent issues as
they arise.
Additionally, Alex has successfully identified opportunities for community groups and
individuals to participate in large-scale project workdays as well as the ongoing
maintenance of City parks and facilities. He has worked with local service groups to
significantly increase the use of volunteers in parks, all while building a sense of
community.
Over the years, Alex has demonstrated a high regard for the service and safety of
Campbell staff and has been a valued and contributing member of the Department’s
leadership team, as well as the City’s Safety Committee.

PUBLIC HEARINGS AND
INTRODUCTION OF

Modifications to Picnic Reservation Policy with Changes to FY22 Fee
Schedule and Budget Adjustment (Resolution/Roll Call Vote)

RECOMMENDED ACTION
That the City Council adopt the Resolutions approving the proposed revisions to the
Picnic Reservation Policy, FY22 Fee Schedule and Budget Adjustment for additional
expenditures.
BACKGROUND
The Picnic Reservation Policy is designed to provide a means by which groups or
individuals can reserve a picnic area specifically for their use, as well as to assure that the
facilities are utilized for recreational, cultural, educational, social and community service
functions. The policy sets clear rules, procedures, regulations, and rental fees regarding
such uses.
In recent years Campbell parks have seen an increase in visitors in the first-come firstserve areas specifically at John D. Morgan park. The increase in use in these areas has
led to a variety of challenges and has created disruption in the park for other users and
for surrounding neighbors.
In 2019, staff worked to update the Campbell Municipal Code regarding park regulations
and established a pilot program which included Park Ambassadors. These efforts
were established to help mitigate overuse at John D. Morgan Park and help resolve
concerns from neighbors. The Park Ambassador Program took an educational approach
to address the situation and temporary staff worked with park patrons to educate them on
park rules and the reservation process. While the program did help to mitigate large
parties gathering in the first-come first-serve area it lacked the ability to provide proper
enforcement when situations escalated. The seasonal position also presented challenges
for consistency and recruitment.
With the onset of Covid-19 in March 2020 the Park Ambassador program was removed
from the budget. In 2021, with the community utilizing outdoor spaces to their fullest
extent, park usage increased dramatically bringing with it the issues in the first-come firstserve area from previous years.

DISCUSSION

Packet Pg. 71

Modifications to Picnic Reservation Policy with Changes to FY22 Fee Schedule and Budget Adjustment
Page 2 of 4

The first-come first-serve picnic areas located on the Rincon Avenue side of John D.
Morgan Park have generated a lot of use in recent years. Often groups that gather in
these spaces far exceed the capacity of the picnic benches available. It has been
noted on numerous occasions additional tables and chairs are being brought into this
space to host upwards of 100 people. The park was not designed to accommodate this
many people in the first-come first-serve area and the bringing in of additional tables and
chairs is a violation of CMC 13.04.164.
Enforcement is extremely challenging when onsite staff is not present. While most
instances violate the municipal code it is not the intent of any City staff member to have to
shut down a family gathering, birthday party or other celebration. By the time the violation
is reported, the gathering is usually well underway. Staff continue to take an educational
approach when dealing with park users violating rules but feel that on site enforcement
will be needed moving forward to prevent over usage of the park and prohibit additional
tables, chairs and BBQ’s being brought into the park.
The first step in addressing the overuse of the first-come first-serve area is to convert
the tables directly around the playground on the Rincon Ave. side of John D. Morgan Park
to all be reservable picnic spaces. Staff has identified six different areas that can all be
converted. One that is a bit further away from the playground will have a maximum
capacity of 50 people while the remaining 5 areas directly surrounding the playground will
range in capacity of 10 to 30 people per picnic space. When reserving City picnic
spaces, the Recreation software does not allow patrons to reserve multiple picnic sites.
This will prevent a single patron from reserving all the picnic tables around the playground
and allow for maximum usage from members of our community. When a reservation is
not made at least 72 hours prior, the space is then available as a first-come first-serve
picnic site. These changes are reflected in the attached red-line version of the Picnic
Reservation Policy and were reviewed and approved by the Parks and Recreation
Commission on February 2, 2022.
Changes were also made to maximum occupancy for each proposed picnic site along
with changes to the fee schedule. When modifying capacities at each picnic site
staff took into consideration the number of tables and accessible open space away from
other sites. The proposed fee changes align with capacities for each space and a
standard non-resident increase was proposed for all non-resident fees. The policy also
includes minor changes throughout and will also have formatting updates once approved.
The second step in addressing this issue is the onsite enforcement. Staff has learned
through the Pilot Park Ambassador Program that having staff present is key to upholding
rules and regulations in our parks, however, having the right type of staff is critical. Staff
has worked collaboratively with the Police Department and will be recommending a
temporary position as a Public Safety Assistant to fulfill this need. The position would
then be directly connected to Police support when additional enforcement is needed. Staff
is recommending that while this position would need close to 600 hours to fulfill the needs
at our parks that it be funded at 1,000 hours to encourage retention with the temporary
position. This position can also provide support to Special Events held in the parks,

Packet Pg. 72

Modifications to Picnic Reservation Policy with Changes to FY22 Fee Schedule and Budget Adjustment
Page 3 of 4

Community Center weekend rentals, and Downtown events. Staff projects that revenue
received from picnic rentals will cover the cost of the temporary position on an annual
basis.
The budget changes being recommended were intended to be part of the mid-year
budget adjustments to temporary personnel and supplies. Due to vacancies with the
Parks and Recreation Commission a quorum to conduct a meeting was not feasible in
January and the report was postponed to the February meeting. Consequently, this did
not allow the requested budget changes to be incorporated into the mid-year budget
report. Staff recommends these changes so that temporary personnel can be hired prior
to the start of increased picnic usage in the parks which typically starts in March and
April. Customers are currently able to book reservations through August 2022 and the
postponement of the budget request to FY23 budget development will postpone the
ability to enforce the proposed policy changes until mid to late summer.
FISCAL IMPACT
Prior to Covid-19, picnic revenue generated approximately $25,000 annually. If no
changes are made it is anticipated that picnic revenue will be approximately $20,000 by
the end of FY22. If the proposed changes are accepted along with changes to the fee
schedule, staff is projecting conservatively with a moderate level of reservations and
anticipates an additional $15,000 by the end of the fiscal year bringing the picnic
revenue close to $35,000 for FY22. If the proposed changes are approved, it is
projected that picnic revenue would generate close to $50,000 annually moving forward.
Additional expenses will also be needed for new signage (a one-time cost) and for the
temporary staffing position. For FY22 signage is estimated at $2,500 and temporary
staffing at $14,000.

ALTERNATIVES
1. Do not approve the revised Picnic Reservation Policy, Schedule of Fees
and Charges, or budget adjustment at this time.
2. Approve Picnic Reservation Policy and changes to the Schedule of Fees
and Charges and provide alternative direction for requested budget
adjustments.

Picnic Reservation Policy
I. Introduction
The City of Campbell provides and maintains a variety of park and public areas for the general
enjoyment of the community. Two of these parks include picnic areas that are available for
reservation by individuals or groups. Four of the parks have picnic facilities that can be used
on a first-come, first-served basis.
The purpose of the Picnic Reservation Policy is to provide a means by which groups or
individuals can reserve a picnic area specifically for their use, as well as to assure that the
facilities are utilized for recreational, cultural, educational, social and community service
functions that meet the needs and interests of the community, and to set clear policies,
procedures, regulations and rental fees regarding such uses.

II. Facilities Available
The City of Campbell has a number of neighborhood parks located throughout the city for the
peaceful enjoyment of our residents and their families and guests. All facilities and amenities
at these parks are geared for small family groups and are available for use on a first-come,
first-served basis. The parks contain a variety of amenities and play apparatus for children and
adults. Restrooms are available (from 8:00am to sunset) at most of the parks with play
apparatus. We encourage you to become familiar with Campbell’s parks and enjoy them with
your friends and family whenever possible.
John D. Morgan Park – 540 W. Rincon Ave.
The city’s largest park is Morgan Park, named for former Police Chief John D. Morgan. Morgan

contains two softball fields, a soccer bowl, open playfields, two separate playgrounds, two sand
volleyball courts, four horseshoe pits, restrooms, open fields and water play features. There

beloved Principal at the former elementary school, which used to occupy the site where the
park now sits. The park has a small number of picnic tables available on a first- come, firstserved basis. In consideration of the proximity of its neighbors, BBQs, rental party equipment,
and large parties are not allowed at Fischer Park.

CITY OF CAMPBELL
RECREATION & COMMUNITY SERVICES
WET FIELD POLICY
The following information is the City policy regarding the use of fields during wet conditions. This
policy and described procedures apply to all sports and activities including football, soccer, softball,
baseball, rugby, field hockey, volleyball, or any other physical activity taking place on a grass field
or turf area. This includes all fields at John D. Morgan Park/Campbell School of Innovation, Edith
Morley Park, and the Campbell Community Center,
Groups shall abide by the Wet Field Policy and preserve the life and condition of the fields by not
playing on them in wet conditions. A field is considered too wet if you can see standing water, hear
a “squishy” sound when walking on the turf, or have mud on the bottom of your shoes after walking
on the turf. Play is allowed during a light mist if the ground is hard and relatively dry. If, however, it
has been raining for three days, and the wet conditions, as described above, exist, the Wet Field
Policy is in effect and groups are not to play on the turf.
The following procedures are to be followed regarding the use of the fields when there has been
rain, over-watering, or the fields are not playable.
USER’S RESPONSIBILITIES:
1. If it has rained within the preceding 24 hours, groups using public fields must call the
Recreation & Community Services Department’s FIELD CONDITIONS HOTLINE at
(408) 866-2769 to receive updated information on field playability. Generally, only
same-day information will be provided, except in the case of severe conditions or
scheduled maintenance. The HOTLINE message will be updated by 3:00pm on
weekdays and by 8:00am on weekends. PLEASE DO NOT INQUIRE EARLIER OR
ABOUT FUTURE DAYS as the determination of field conditions are not made until the
times stated above. Determination of field conditions will be made by City personnel,
and determinations/decisions are not negotiable.
2. In the event that the HOTLINE has not been updated, or is unavailable, groups are
expected to make educated and responsible decisions regarding field conditions and
playability, keeping in mind the current and future quality of turf facilities. In general, if
you can see standing water, hear a “squishy” sound when walking on the turf, or have
mud on the bottom of your shoes after walking on the turf, the field is too wet to allow
play. Scheduled activities on the turf should be canceled to avoid damage to the turf
and potential injuries to the players.
3. GROUPS FAILING TO FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES OF THIS POLICY WILL SUBJECT
THEIR RESERVATION TO CANCELLATION AND LOSS OF FUTURE USE. FIELDS
WILL BE CHECKED FOR MISUSE DURING TIMES WHEN FIELDS ARE
CONSIDERED TOO WET AND/OR MUDDY BY DESIGNATED CITY STAFF.
4. Groups witnessing misuse of fields by other scheduled or unscheduled users are
advised to contact Campbell Police Department (408-866-2101) to report misuse.
5. It is the reserving customer’s responsibility to be sure that all guests and participants
understand and enforce this policy, however inconvenient it may be.

service functions that meet the needs and interests of the community, and to set clear
policies, procedures, regulations and rental fees regarding such uses.

CITY OF CAMPBELL
RECREATION & COMMUNITY SERVICES
WET FIELD POLICY
The following information is the City policy regarding the use of fields during wet conditions. This
policy and described procedures apply to all sports and activities including football, soccer, softball,
baseball, rugby, field hockey, volleyball, or any other physical activity taking place on a grass field or
turf area. This includes all fields at John D. Morgan Park/Campbell Middle SchoolSchool of
Innovation, Edith Morley Park, and the Campbell Community Center,
Groups shall abide by the Wet Field Policy and preserve the life and condition of the fields by not
playing on them in wet conditions. A field is considered too wet if you can see standing water, hear
a “squishy” sound when walking on the turf, or have mud on the bottom of your shoes after walking
on the turf. Play is allowed during a light mist if the ground is hard and relatively dry. If, however, it
has been raining for three days, and the wet conditions, as described above, exist, the Wet Field
Policy is in effect and groups are not to play on the turf.
The following procedures are to be followed regarding the use of the fields when there has been
rain, over-watering, or the fields are not playable.
USER’S RESPONSIBILITIES:
1. If it has rained within the preceding 24 hours, groups using public fields must call the
Recreation & Community Services Department’s FIELD CONDITIONS HOTLINE at (408)
866-2769 to receive updated information on field playability. Generally, only same-day
information will be provided, except in the case of severe conditions or scheduled
maintenance. The HOTLINE message will be updated by 3:00pm on weekdays and by
8:00am on weekends. PLEASE DO NOT INQUIRE EARLIER OR ABOUT FUTURE
DAYS as the determination of field conditions are not made until the times stated above.
Determination of field conditions will be made by City personnel, and
determinations/decisions are not negotiable.
2. In the event that the HOTLINE has not been updated, or is unavailable, groups are
expected to make educated and responsible decisions regarding field conditions and
playability, keeping in mind the current and future quality of turf facilities. In general, if
you can see standing water, hear a “squishy” sound when walking on the turf, or have
mud on the bottom of your shoes after walking on the turf, the field is too wet to allow
play. Scheduled activities on the turf should be canceled to avoid damage to the turf and
potential injuries to the players.
3. GROUPS FAILING TO FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES OF THIS POLICY WILL SUBJECT
THEIR RESERVATION TO CANCELLATION AND LOSS OF FUTURE USE. FIELDS
WILL BE CHECKED FOR MISUSE DURING TIMES WHEN FIELDS ARE CONSIDERED
TOO WET AND/OR MUDDY BY DESIGNATED CITY STAFF.
4. Groups witnessing misuse of fields by other scheduled or unscheduled users are advised
to contact Campbell Police Department (408-866-2101) to report misuse.
5. It is the reserving customer’s responsibility to be sure that all guests and participants
understand and enforce this policy, however inconvenient it may be.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Extension of Temporary Downtown Parklet Program (Resolution/Roll
Call Vote)

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution extending the temporary parklet program through October 31, 2022
for outdoor restaurant dining and business operations in parklets.
BACKGROUND
During its regular meeting of January 18, 2022, City Council provided favorable
feedback on the creation of a permanent parklet program and directed staff to draft a
resolution (Attachment A) extending the temporary program beyond March 31, 2022 to
allow time for development of a permanent program.
Council extended the temporary program to March 31 by adopting Resolution 12788
during a special meeting on December 21, 2021, due to increasing COVID case counts
associated with the Omicron variant. The temporary parklet program was established
via Council Resolution 12634 on September 1, 2020. The program was extended three
additional times by Council Resolutions 12663, 12721 and 12758 while State and
County Health Orders were in effect.
DISCUSSION
The proposed extension date of the temporary parklet program through October 31,
2022 will allow sufficient time for the City to prepare a replacement permanent program
and provides the following benefits:
• Enable parklet operators to continue outdoor dining while the City considers, develops
and implements a potential permanent program
• Businesses retain employees
• Offer a mix of dining options for patrons amid the uncertainty regarding the future of
the COVID-19 pandemic
• Establish a transition period from the temporary program to a permanent program
should a permanent program be authorized by Council

Current Status

Extension of Temporary Downtown Parklet Program

Page 2 of 5

Currently, 17 Downtown businesses operate parklets, occupying 40 public parking
spaces including 30 on-street parking spaces and 10 off-street parking spaces. All
parklets are occupied by restaurants and bars, including fourteen restaurants that
occupy 28 on-street parking stalls on East Campbell Avenue and one restaurant that
occupies two parking spaces on Central Avenue at Campbell Avenue. one additional
establishment operates a parklet in the City-owned parking lot at 201 Orchard City
Drive. The typical size of an on-street parklet is two parallel parking stalls while the size
of a parking lot parklet is five perpendicular stalls.
Parklet designs vary among businesses as some restaurants have built platforms and
installed overhead structures within their parklets while other restaurants simply place
tables and chairs on the street surface within their parklets.

Local Emergency Declaration
On January 18, City Council adopted Resolution 12796 extending the Local Emergency
Declaration until March 29, 2022, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Extension of
this declaration enables temporary parklets to remain in place due to relaxation of code
enforcement priorities during the declaration’s existence. City Council reviews extension
of the declaration every 60 days until conditions warrant termination per Government
Code 8630(c). Extending the declaration enables temporary parklet operations to
continue while a permanent program is considered.
Council feedback regarding a Permanent Parklet Program
At the January 18th Council meeting, the Council reviewed program and policy options
regarding a permanent parklet program and provided the following feedback:
Number, location and size of parklets
Council requested standards regarding the allocation, location and size of parklets
for current and future businesses, as well as preserving parking stalls fronting nonrestaurant businesses. Council expressed support for a two-parking stall parklet
footprint and directed staff to continue working with community partners on parklet
compatibility during downtown events and provide a timeline for developing the
program.
Design Options, Funding, and Parklet Use Fees
Council expressed support for pre-approved design-and-build options, ARPA funds
to subsidize program costs/grants, and a parklet use fee. Council expressed support
requiring applicants contributing to their permanent parklet costs.
Transition from Temporary to Permanent Parklets
Council supported establishing a transition period from temporary parklets to
permanent parklets. A three-month transition period would include a deadline for
restaurants to apply for a parklet permit or vacate their temporary parklet.

Extension of Temporary Downtown Parklet Program

Page 3 of 5

Storage of Restaurant Furniture and Equipment
Applicants should cover the full cost of storage of furniture and equipment as the
construction period is not anticipated to be a long duration and is a cost of doing
business.
Preparation of a Permanent Parklet Program
Creation of a permanent program will require the approval of text amendments to the
municipal code allowing parklets to be established, and the creation of a permitting
process similar to the City’s current Outdoor Dining Permit process, including the
issuance of encroachment permits for establishing parklets.
Staff anticipates presenting a draft permanent parklet program at Council’s April 5th
meeting, and based on Council direction, will plan to return with implementing
ordinances for adoption at the May 17th Council meeting.
Staff will initiate a procurement process to secure consultant services to create, review
and approve parklet designs for the program at an estimated cost of $20,000. In
summary, six months are needed to develop and launch the program by August 2022.
An additional three-month transition period from temporary parklets to permanent
parklets is needed following program launch. A projected timeline is included in the
following table.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
From the temporary program’s implementation in September 2020 through March 2022,
the City will have spent $55,500 on k-rail rental and $74,980 in total on all related
parklet expenses. The following table summarizes the costs. If the temporary program
extends beyond March 31, k-rail rental costs would continue to be $2,750 per month.
The same k-rails could be purchased for approximately $30,000; however, the ongoing
storage would present a challenge for City staff to consider as storage space is very
limited, and a crane is needed each time barriers are installed/removed.

*One-time cost
Along with rental costs of $22,000 to extend the temporary parklet program through
October 2022, it is also estimated that it will cost $20,000 for the development of a
permanent parklet program; thereby totaling $42,000 in additional unexpected costs
beyond the current extension to March 31. K-rail removal costs of $3,000 were already
expected at whatever point the temporary parklet program ends. The City currently has
sufficient appropriations for these costs programmed into the FY 2022 Adopted Budget
for program 101.539 (COVID 19 Response). Thus, no further budgetary appropriations
are being requested at this time. If additional funding is needed, it may be programmed
into the FY 2023 Proposed Budget; using allocated and allowable ARPA funds if
Council desired.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Do not extend the temporary program keeping current expiration date of March 31,
2022 in effect
2. Extend the temporary program to another date
3. Provide alternate direction to staff

Dear Campbell Mayor and City Council Members,
I am a volunteer with the Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America group and a
resident of Campbell.I am writing to you today to request your support of a future Safe
Storage Firearms Ordinance in Campbell which would require all firearms in a residence be
securely stored in a locked container or disabled with a trigger lock.
It concerns me greatly that nearly every day in this country one small child unintentionally
kills himself or another child after finding an unsecured firearm typically in their home.
Additionally, every day on average, two teens commit suicide using an unsecured firearm
from their home or a relative’s home.
Please direct City staff to draft a secure storage ordinance to be brought back for a future vote.
Let's protect the children in our community.
Sincerely,
Andrea Freeman
