HANDBOOK
CUPERTINO
2021
WELCOME AND ORIENTATION
Welcome and thank you for your willingness to serve as a member of a City of
Cupertino Commission. Advisory bodies play an important role in City governance by
assisting the City Council in addressing specific issues in detail and facilitating
community decision-making.
The City of Cupertino has a number of advisory bodies, each with distinct
responsibilities. As a new advisory body member, you should familiarize yourself with
the documents governing your particular body including City ordinances, City Council
resolutions, relevant element(s) of the General Plan, and other documents, all available
from your staff liaison. Reviewing these documents will help you get a sense of your
responsibilities.
This Handbook is designed to serve as a reference for the basic protocols that apply
generally to all City advisory bodies.Orientation is necessarily an active process.As a new
member you may want to meet with the Chair of your advisory body to get a better sense
of your role and the business of the body, as well as with the staff liaison assigned to the
body. Along with familiarizing yourself with your advisory body's foundational
documents, you may want to review agendas and minutes from recent meetings to see
what current issues have been under consideration, as well as the City Work Program to
familiarize yourself with current goals.
Learning your role and developing an effective voice takes time and familiarity.
We hope this Handbook will assist you towards a satisfying and productive experience.
Your participation is deeply appreciated by the City Council, by city staff, and by your
community. The vitality and strength of our community results from the willingness of
people like you to serve.

THE STRUCTURE OF GOVERNMENT
A. FORM OF GOVERNMENT
The City of Cupertino operates as a general law city with a City Council-City Manager
form of government where the City Council sets policy and the City Manager manages
the implementation and administration of those policies.
B. CITY COUNCIL
The City Council is the governing legislative body of the City, consisting of five members
elected in odd numbered years to staggered four-year terms.These councilmembers then
elect the mayor and vice mayor to one-year terms. It sets goals and priorities and
establishes policies. The Mayor is the presiding officer of the Council, and the official
spokesperson and representative of the City.
C. CITY MANAGER AND STAFF
Ci , Manager
The City Manager has complete responsibility and authority for the administration
of the City's government. This individual is appointed by and serves at the
pleasure of the Council and is the appointing authority for the City, selecting the
department heads and other employees.The City Manager coordinates and directs
the services of the City staff, and commissioners should not attempt to direct or
prioritize work for departments or individual staff.
Ci Clerk
The City Clerk plays an important role for advisory bodies. The City Clerk accepts
and maintains applications,processes appointments,updates membership rosters,
bylaws, informational booklets, and yearly attendance records. The City Clerk is
the filing officer for Statements of Economic Interests,and any other required filing
as identified by the City Council and the State.
Staff
When assigned by the City Manager, staff assist and act in a technical advisory
capacity to the commissions. It is not expected that every staff recommendation
will be followed; however, because of the staff's technical knowledge, full
consideration should be given to their recommendation.Staff are at liberty to make
their recommendation to the City Council through the City Manager,even though
the commission may have taken a different position. However, in these cases, the
commission recommendation will be made clear to the City Council.
Staff Liaison
A staff liaison is assigned to each commission. Their main duties include
facilitating meetings, preparing agendas, advising commissioners, and writing
4
meeting minutes. Commissioners should reach out to their liaison if they have any
questions regarding matters of the commission or if they would like to contact
other staff regarding official business.
D. COMMISSIONS
The primary purpose of the City's commissions is to serve as advisory bodies to Council
by weighing public input and rendering recommendations to the City Council. There are
times when the advisory body's recommendation will not be sustained or will be modified
by the City Council.It is important to recognize this not as a rejection of the integrity of the
recommendation,but as an inevitable part of the process of community decision-making.
The Council has appointed commissioners as advisors to them. This underlying
philosophy makes it improper for an individual commissioner, acting in their official
capacity, to try to persuade the Council into the acceptance of a recommendation other
than that voted by the majority of the commission.The role of a commission is to assist the
City Council in the formation of policy, having been created for the purpose of advising.
The scope of work, purpose, and other primary functions for each commission can be
found in the City Municipal Code Chapter 2.
Chair and Vice Chair
Each year,every commission will elect from its membership a Chairperson
(Chair) and a vice Chairperson(Vice Chair) who serve at the pleasure of the
commission for a one-year term. The Vice Chair acts in this capacity when the
Chair is not available.
The Chair should:
• Maintain order of the meeting, ensure respect for all opinions, protect
commissioners,staff, and the public from personal attacks.
• Keep discussion focused on the issue at hand.
• Solicit opinions from commissioners.Encourage evaluation of new,tentative,
or incomplete ideas. Discourage overly dominant commissioners from
having disproportionate control over the discussion.
• Attempt to reach decisions expeditiously on action items. At those times
when action would be premature, guide discussion toward a timeline or
framework for responsible action.
• Set meeting rules early and make sure everyone abides by them without
exception.
• Set an acceptable time limit for public testimony(generally three minutes per
individual and 10 minutes per group)and stick to it.At the Chair's discretion,
the public can interact with the members of the commission beyond the
public-comment time limit in order to facilitate better communication of the
agendized topic.
• Provide periodic written updates, approved by the full body, to Council
regarding the status of their activities at least every six months.
5
COMMISSION MEMBERSHIP
A. QUORUM AND ATTENDANCE
A quorum consists of a majority of the members of the commission. A quorum is required
to conduct business at any meeting whether it is a regular, adjourned, or special meeting.
While it is expected that members be present at all meetings, the Chair should be notified
if a member knows in advance that he/she will be absent. A member shall be considered
removed from an advisory body under the following conditions:
• A member misses more than three consecutive meetings
• A member misses more than 25% of the advisory body's meetings in
a calendar year(Resolution 10-048)
B. VACANCIES
Vacancies are filled by appointment by the Council.Appointments made in the middle of
a term are for the unexpired portion of that term. Council-appointed Alternates will
automatically fill a vacancy.
C. RESIGNATIONS AND REMOVALS
If a member is unable to continue serving because of health, business requirements or
personal reasons, a letter of resignation should be submitted to the City Council.
The position of any member is automatically vacated when the member ceases to meet the
qualifications for office, when Council accepts the member's resignation, or when the
Council so declares.
MEETINGS
A. REGULAR MEETINGS
Commissions are required to hold regular meetings open to the public as provided by the
enabling ordinance. The agenda for this meeting must be posted at least 72 hours prior to
the meeting.
B. ADJOURNED MEETINGS
If the business to be considered at a regular meeting cannot be completed,the commission
then may designate a time and date for an adjourned meeting.
6
C. SPECIAL MEETINGS
A special meeting may be called by the Chair or a majority of the members with
coordination with the staff liaison.
D. SUBCOMMITTEES
The Chair may appoint special subcommittees of less than a quorum of the commission
who then may meet at their convenience to carry out the purpose of the subcommittee. If
the subcommittee has a continuing subject matter or a regularly scheduled meeting time,
it may qualify as a Brown Act committee and public notice provisions will apply.
E. AGENDAS
Each commission has a staff liaison responsible for preparing agendas in consultation
with the Chair. If a commissioner or staff member intends to bring up an item for
discussion or action, the item must be included on the agenda in accordance with the
Brown Act.For each meeting,a date should be scheduled for the Chair and staff liaison to
set the agenda. Commissioners can propose agenda items within the purpose of the
commission to the staff liaison prior to the agenda setting date.
Future Agenda Setting
The staff liaison will maintain a list of future agenda items that the commission
plans to discuss.The Chair,the staff liaison, or any two commissioners can add an
agenda item within their purpose to the future agenda item list and it will be
scheduled at the discretion of the Chair and staff liaison. To provide
commissioners an opportunity to discuss whether to add an item to the future
agenda item list, each regularly-scheduled agenda will include a "Future Agenda
Setting" item. Once an item is added to the future agenda item list, it cannot be
removed until it is discussed for removal at a regularly scheduled meeting during
the item for"Future Agenda Setting." In addition, the item will not be removed if
the Chair or at least two commissioners wish for the item to remain on the future
agenda item list.
Staff Updates and Commissioner Activity Report
Each regularly scheduled agenda will also include a "Staff Updates and
Commissioner Activity Report" item for staff to report on updates and the
members to report any activities they have taken part in related to the commission
since the prior regularly scheduled meeting.
F. PREPARATION FOR MEETINGS
• Thoroughly review the agenda packet, including agenda reports,and any other
materials before the meeting. Check if you may have a conflict of interest with any
of the items due to property or monetary interests.If it is unclear,the commissioner
7
can explain the situation to the staff liaison who can seek legal counsel from the
City Attorney.For more information on conflicts of interest,please review the Fair
Political Practices Commission(FPPQ Conflicts of Interest Rules.
• Understand what action you are being called upon to take for each particular agenda
item.
• Contact the Chair or your staff liaison before the meeting to clarify questions about
the agenda or request further information.
• Understand the responsibilities of your commission. As a member of an advisory
body you will be asked to provide recommendations to the City Council about
specific issues. Keep in mind that your appointment does not empower you to
supervise or direct City staff.
G. MINUTES
The approved minutes are placed on file by the City Clerk for public access. Commissions
should strive to keep summary minutes as opposed to action minutes. If automatic
transcription is made available to supplement official minutes, action minutes may be
sufficient.
H. PROCEDURE
Commissions follow the guidelines on parliamentary procedure contained in
Rosenberg's Rules of Order (Rules). These Rules outline how motions are made and the
basic format for an agenda item discussion.
I. DECORUM AT MEETINGS
• Discourage outward signs of agreement or disagreement from the audience such
as cheering or clapping. Such demonstrations can intimidate those wishing to
express alternate views and delay the meeting. Also see Conduct of Members in
the Cupertino Ethics Policy.
• Limit your own comments to the issues before the commission. Avoid the
appearance of straying from the subject or"grandstanding".
J. BASIS FOR YOUR DECISION
Commission decisions should be based principally on the information presented to you
in the open public meeting process. If you collect pertinent information outside of the
public process through a meeting with stake holders or site visits,you should share
that information with your fellow commissioners in the public meeting.This sharing of
information will ensure that other commissioners and members of the public have a
better understanding of the rationale for your decision.
Commissioners are free to meet or refuse to meet with residents, resident groups,
8
developers or prospective contractors or any persons outside of the public meeting
process concerning issues before the commission. If you meet with any individuals
outside of the public meeting you should disclose the content of that meeting in the
public meeting to again ensure that everybody is aware of the facts and have similar
information upon which to base their decision;this disclosure is required for quasi-
judicial matters'.
All governmental procedures and process must follow due process and allow an
affected party a right to be heard, and to present controverting fact or testimony on the
question of right in the matter involved.Unfair determinations, such as bias,
predetermination, refusal to hear, etc.,may invalidate actions.
Keep an open mind. An objective,balanced, and receptive approach will help you
assess the facets of a given issue and evaluate new ideas.When receiving written and
oral public testimony it will be necessary to discern between fact and opinion, as well as
between those concerns which are relevant and those which are secondary to the issue
at hand. Keeping an open mind will make it easier for you to understand all sides of an
issue before you make a judgment or take a position.
CITY WORK PROGRAM
The City Council approves an annual City Work Program to guide the work of the City.
Prior to the first draft of the City Work Program each year, staff will reach out to the
commissions to ask for recommendations of items to add. These recommendations will be
provided to the City Council for consideration,but ultimately the City Council will
determine the final items on the City Work Program. Commissions support City Work
Program items within their scope by reviewing the items and making recommendations to
City Council. Since the City Council sets the City Work Program to guide the priority
efforts in the City, commission agendas should be aligned accordingly.By August 15, each
commission should provide an annual report of all of the topics the commission has
addressed in the prior year.
COMMUNICATIONS
A. STAYING INFORMED
Commissioners should sign up for City email notifications to stay informed of various
community events and public meetings. Council encourages commissioners to attend at
least two community meetings or meetings of other commissions each year.
The City uses social media outlets, surveys, email notifications, the Scene, and the City
website to perform outreach for City business. For appropriate conduct on social media,
'More information on quasi-judicial proceedings can be found in the Imposed Restraints document
in the Commission Resources folder.
9
see the City's Social Media Policv. For questions about City outreach, speak with your
staff liaison.
B. USE OF CITY EMAIL
All newly appointed City commissioners will be assigned a mandatory City email
address after reviewing and signing the Technology Use Policy.
As noted under the Brown Act, care should be taken with regard to emails. Never select
"Reply All" to an email to all commissioners or forward an email sent to you by one
commissioner to another commissioner since that would constitute a quorum. All
questions and concerns should be directed to the Chair and staff liaison.
All City emails are subject to the Public Records Act and you should use your City email
only to conduct City business as a commissioner.Please do not forward or reply to a City
email from your personal email address.Once your term on the commission is over,your
City email will be terminated.
RESOURCES
Commissioners should familiarize themselves with the following resources:
City policies relating to ethics, social media, commissions, diversity, and technology, as
well as the City organizational chart, a Rosenberg's Rules of Order cheat sheet, and
guidance on imposed restraints, can be found online in the Commission Resources folder.

Vice Chair Pan commented that she believes the pandemic will still have an impact within the

She recommended focusing on helping seniors and teens.
Commissioner Crabtree suggested to align the Library Commission municipal code more
closely with the Library Expansion Project, and noted that there is a stakeholder group to
provide input on the project,but that the Commission as a whole should be a part of the
stakeholder group if adhering to the municipal code.
Assistant City Manager,Dianne Thompson, responded that the Library Commission is the lead
public Commission for providing input on the program and that the stakeholder group
includes different interest groups of the project but does not preclude conversations with the
Commission and that the Commission is the official group with oversite of the project.
Commissioner Crabtree commented that she would like to see direction from Council or have
better clarification of the role of the Library Commission addressed in the municipal code. She
added that she would like to consider having all commissions use a timer for commissioner and
public comments to keep contributions fair across he board.
Commissioner Vasanth agreed with Commissioner Crabtree that clarity from Council regarding
the role of the Library Commission would be good.
Vice Chair Pan noted that in the beginning stages of the Library Expansion Project, the
commission was able to provide more input on design and that since the design process is
complete,the fundraising portion is being considered by the stakeholder group. She added that
if it is not a violation of the Brown Act,it all Commissioners could attend the stakeholder
meetings.
Chair Wo agreed that all Commissioners should be able to express their opinions on the Library
Expansion Project and that there should be consistency between the Commission and the
stakeholder group.

Key Findings from
2019 Patron Satisfaction Survey
_77-
• . . -
The Santa Clara County Library District (SCCLD), in partnership with Harder+Company Community Research,
administered a Patron Satisfaction Survey designed to better understand the demographic characteristics of library
patrons as well as how patrons use the library. The survey also assessed overall satisfaction with library services and
sought recommendations for improving facilities, the timing of programs and services, collections and library access. This
report highlights key findings from the survey, which was available in paper and online format from May 20 through June
16, 2019. This survey was a follow-up from the 2016 Patron Satisfaction Survey. Where applicable, the report highlights
areas of progress from 2016 to 2019. The last page provides recommendations based on survey findings.
Highlights from the Report
Patrons were overwhelmingly satisfied with library services and their interaction with library staff.
Nearly all patrons (97%) reported that Reference Desk Staff and Accounts Desk Staff were friendly and
approachable, and 85% of indicated they were highly likely to recommend the library to friends and family.
The majority of patrons visit the library for youth programs and services.Three out of four patrons(75%)
ranked programs and services for youth as one of their top three most important reasons for visiting the library.
0 A majority of patrons are satisfied with the library's current operating hours. In response to the findings from
the 2016 Patron Satisfaction Survey,SCCLD underwent a major initiative to increase operating hours across community
libraries. In 2019,over half of patrons(57%) were satisfied with the library's hours.
The 2019 Patron Satisfaction Survey Report incorporates the feedback of nearly 7,000 patrons.The survey
was available to patrons in five languages (English, Spanish,Simplified Chinese,Traditional Chinese, and Vietnamese).
Significant efforts on the part of library staff nearly doubled the number of total surveys collected between 2016 and
2019 , and there was a 7% increase in responses from patrons whose primary language was not English.

Referrals and Services that Can Help Patrons or Someone They Know (n=4,906)
Before releasing the 2019 survey, the evaluation team conducted two focus groups with 20 library patrons to learn about
suggested topics for further exploration. Patrons identified that libraries often provide information about connecting to
other important services. When survey respondents were asked which referrals or connections would be helpful to them
or someone they know, the most popular responses were information about employment (57%) taxes (49%) and social
service (49%). One fifth of respondents provided other ideas such as educational programs, contractors, and social

Recommendations
The following recommendations are based on the findings from the Patron Satisfaction Survey:
Explore strategies to make improvements to collections and facilities
Collections
• Consider producing and promoting more web content to instruct patrons on e-material use - especially online
video tutorials and user guides.
• Offer digital material in a wider variety of languages. Patrons expressed limited availability of digital material in
alternative languages. In addition to the languages in which the survey was implemented (English, Spanish,
Traditional and Simplified Chinese, and Vietnamese), French, Hindi, and Japanese which were the highest"other"
responses for preferred language of materials.
Facilities
• Explore opportunities to enhance seating. While there are limitations on the changes SCCLD can make to libraries'
physical structures, SCCLD has been systematically looking for opportunities to enhance seating. Data from this survey
suggests that SCCLD should continue to explore this opportunity.
• Consider adding on property curb-side drop-off points for patrons to make returns.These may be particularly
beneficial for community libraries with limited parking.
Explore strategies to make targeted improvements to its programs and services
Programming
• Ensure sufficient youth programming and cross check report results with preferred times by community library
location. SCCLD could also examine the timing and frequency of program offerings, since this year's survey included
additional questions about the preferred timing and frequency of services for patrons'favorite programs.
• Consider other methods for advertising adult programming and technology classes. Adult programming (ages
18-64) and technology classes were also in high demand. SCCLD could consider advertising using the methods patrons
identified as being effective including identifying high traffic public space outside the library for flyering, exploring
ways to better utilize social media, and ensuring event postings are easily accessible via the website.
Services
• Explore way to help patrons with service connections and learning. Focus groups with library patrons revealed
that libraries often connect individuals with social services, and the survey revealed that help around ESL and tax
needs are valued by patrons. We recommend that SCCLD pursue community partnerships for libraries to provide
additional information on employment, taxes, social services, and immigration resources. Easily accessible and well-
promoted resources could assist community members in need of these vital services.
Key Findings from the 2019 Patron Satisfaction Survey I Page 13
• Consider analyzing card holder data to better understand the SCCLD patron base. Of the patrons who
responded to the 2019 Patron Satisfaction Survey, 9% identified as Hispanic or Latino, and 1% identified as Black or
African American, American Indian or Alaskan Native, or Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander. According to the U.S.
Census ii statistics for Santa Clara County, 25% of residents identify as Hispanic or Latino, 3% identify as Black or
African American, and about 1% as American Indian or Alaskan Native, or Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander. Since
county statistics do not align perfectly with library district demographics, SCCLD could consider analyzing card holder
zip code data to construct the appropriate demographic comparison by patron census tract. Having a better sense of
target patron demographics will help to make outreach, collections, programs, and services culturally relevant and to
meet the needs of the diverse population of patrons.
Explore strategies to expand already-successful practices
Policy
• Continue to invest in services and strategies that work well. In particular, one of the major takeaways from the
survey was that patrons greatly appreciate the friendly and approachable staff services, with between 97-98%
reporting this to be the case for both accounts staff and reference staff. We recommend additional research to identify
exactly what staff are doing that patrons appreciate. This would allow SCCLD to identify and distill their unique staff
services.
Additionally, while appointment-based reference help is not in high demand, if you are considering pursuing this
service, it will require much publicity and a strong roll-out, since most patrons are ambivalent about the option.
Finally, it's good news that library fines and late fees do not seem to be a great deterrent for those who took the
survey. Depending on the costs of changes to fine systems, weigh this evidence along with existing studies of fines'
disproportionate impacts.
Staff Support
• Continue to foster a culture that supports library staff and ensures that patrons as well as the broader
community, are aware of the library's excellent customer service. SCCLD might consider incorporating graphic
messaging into library environments to showcase their strong patron services. Excellent staff services create a warm,
social ambience. The district staff should also continue reaching outside of the library to further promote the excellent
features of the library that are greatly appreciated by patrons and keep people coming back!
