Commissioner Swamy requested clarification on the Spelling Bee and the costs

at ways to expand it. Recreation Manager Lee clarified that the Window Painting has
minimal expenses such as paint and paint brushes.
Vice Chair Shearin requested clarification on the difference of responsibilities for YAB

Friends to help lower the stress levels of students. Recreation Coordinator Kaufman
clarified that they have had something similar to Furry Friends at Bobateeno and will

the lead on planning teen events, and the Teen Commission is more advisory, helping

3. Subject: Park Amenity Improvements Project Update
Recommended Action: Receive an update on the Capital Improvement Programs (CIP)
Park Amenity Improvements project.
Written communications for this item included emails to the commission and are
included for the record.
Director Sander introduced Susan Michael, CIP Manager, to present on the item.
Presented an overview of the Park Amenities project, provided a status update, and
proposals for next steps.
Commissioner Swamy requested clarification on whether the shade structures were
permanent or temporary, and how many they plan to fund. CIP Manager Michael
clarified they are permanent, and the current plan includes three proposed locations.
Commissioner Swamy requested clarification on the prioritization of amenities that
contribute to cost recovery. CIP Manager Michael clarified that Parks and Recreation
staff has noted the importance of increasing the usability of spaces, and that those
amenities be prioritized due to the added benefit of a revenue generating opportunity
for the City.
Vice Chair Shearin requested clarification on the status spreadsheet. CIP Manager
Michael clarified that the black columns are the generated list from 2021, and the red
columns are amenities that have been installed. Vice Chair Shearin requested
8
clarification on the Hoover Park newly installed amenities as the presentation image
showed garbage cans installed. CIP Manager Michael clarified that was a mistake and
Hoover Park did not have any garbage cans installed yet. Vice Chair Shearin requested
clarification on whether the Commission should consider re-prioritizing. CIP Manager
clarified that they are still following the direction from the Commission’s prioritization
and Parks and Recreation staff for the installations.
Director Sander added that a lot of what was prioritized will not change such as the
benches, hydration stations, and garbage cans – until those are installed, staff likely
won’t be re-looking into other options. Clarified that the dog off-leash area (DOLA)
amenities are part of the City Work Program so those will be looked at in conjunction
with the park amenity improvements funding.
Commissioner Buch recommended the addition of multi-generational play structure
equipment. CIP Manager Michael clarified that the priority is to replace any
playground equipment that is aged out and unsafe. Director Sander added that the
Memorial Park Specific Plan does include options for multi-generational activities.
Chair Stanek clarified that the park amenity improvements are separate from the
playground equipment.
Vice Chair Shearin requested clarification on the funding for park amenities verses the
playground equipment replacement. CIP Manager Michael clarified that the funding is
separate, and they are two different projects.
Chair Stanek requested clarification on the budget for park amenities and whether it
was still $200,000 for five years. CIP Manager Michael clarified that the project is in its
fourth year and given budget discussions, $200,000 was not allocated for this fiscal year.
Chair Stanek noted that the project is behind and requested clarification on whether or
not there was a plan to catch up and get back on track. CIP Manager Michael clarified
that staff is on it and continues to keep the project active. Director Sander added that
there were a lot of issues during COVID and new amenities were delayed in delivery.
Chair Stanek recommended that on the 2023 Amenities Survey (Attachment C), the 2023
Park Amenities red text box include the word “existing,” and the April 2021 Amenities
List orange text box include the word “recommended” to clarify between the two.
Commissioner Swamy requested clarification on expected time frame of completion,
whether or not the City is contracting out the installation of the park amenities, and if
there were any penalties for contractors completing the work past the deadlines. CIP
Manager Michael clarified that there isn’t an exact time frame for completion, a good
9
number of the amenities were purchased and installed by City staff, and usually there is
a penalty clause if contractors do not finish on time.
Chair Stanek opened public comment.
Suhas Patil, Cupertino resident, supported DOLA and commented that a fence was not
needed at the DOLAs.
Louise Saadati, Cupertino resident, supported DOLA amenities including a three-to-
four-foot hedge with a temporary fence at Linda Vista, four benches and shade
structures for both Linda Vista and Jollyman, and low lights at Jollyman.
Ishi Chopra, Cupertino resident, supported DOLA amenities including benches and
shade structures.
Ansh Chopra, Cupertino resident, supported DOLA amenities including a three-to-
four-foot hedge with a temporary fence at Linda Vista, benches and shade structures for
both Linda Vista and Jollyman, and low lights at Jollyman.
Chair Stanek closed public comment.
Commissioner Buch recommended a collaboration between the City and DOLA
supporters, adding that DOLA supporters could help fund some of the requested
amenities given budget constraints.
Commissioner Swamy thanked the DOLA supporters for sharing their passion and
encouraged them to share any concerns they have with large dogs.
Vice Chair Shearin supported the direction from City Council for the addition of DOLA
amenities and thanked the public for their comments.
Chair Stanek supported safety for all park users and commented that adding a hedge
would not only be for the DOLA users, but also those who are walking and are fearful
of dogs.
Commissioner Buch requested a response from the DOLA community and staff on his
collaboration suggestion between the City and DOLA supporters for funding of DOLA
amenities.
