COMMISSIONER’S
HANDBOOK
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
City 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.
City 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
5
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 Chairʹs 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.
6
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.
7
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
8
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 (FPPC) 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 ʺgrandstandingʺ.
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,
9
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 matters1.
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,
1 More information on quasi‐judicial proceedings can be found in the Imposed Restraints document
in the Commission Resources folder.
10
see the City’s Social Media Policy. 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.

CONTINUITY OF OPERATIONS FAQ
March 2021
What is Continuity of Operations (COOP)?
Continuity of Operations is an effort within departments and agencies to ensure that Essential
Functions (EFs) continue to be performed during a wide range of emergencies, including
localized acts of nature, accidents and technological or attack-related emergencies.
~National Security Presidential Directive NSPD-51
What is the Goal of Continuity Planning?
The ultimate goal of continuity planning is the continuation of the City’s mission critical tasks.
These tasks are called Mission Essential Functions or simplified, Essential Functions (EFs). The
goal is to plan contingencies that would encompass a wide range of scenarios.
What is the difference between an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP)
and a COOP plan?
The most telling difference is that the EOP is a response plan, whereas the COOP plan addresses
the continuation of day-to-day functions. The EOP’s focus is one responding to a specific
disaster. Whether the disaster is an earthquake, flood, or pandemic is immaterial to the COOP
plan. The reaction is always the same, assess the damage to mission essential functions and
provide alternate means of sustaining those functions until either the incident is resolved, or a
longer-term plan is established.
Why have a COOP plan?
The COOP plan addresses key business continuity questions like:
WHAT critical things do we need to do?
WHO will do them in a disaster?
HOW will they be done?
WHAT equipment/resources are needed?
WHERE will we be doing these things?
WHEN (how quickly) will we need to resume them?
WHO’S in charge? What if they can’t?
HOW will we return to normal, or what if we can’t?

CONTINUITY OF OPERATIONS FAQ
What are the components of a COOP plan?
Most COOP plans have ten components or elements, they are:
Mission Essential Functions Delegations of Authority Orders of Succession
Human Capital Management Continuity Facilities Continuity Communications
Vital Records Devolution Reconstitution Test, Train & Exercise
When will the COOP plan be used?
The COOP plan can be activated for any event that causes a department or agency to be unable to
continue day-to-day operations under normal circumstances. That could be anything from a
power outage in a single building to a catastrophic disaster affecting the entire region.
Who is responsible for COOP planning, training, exercising, and
maintenance?
The City’s Office of Emergency Services staff will spearhead annual efforts to update the plan,
train Essential Staff on their responsibilities, and provide an exercise opportunity.
Where are we in the process of developing a COOP plan?
As of March 2021, a draft COOP plan has been written and preliminarily reviewed.
On April 7th, essential staff will be trained to use of the plan.
On April 14th, a tabletop exercise will be hosted by the Office of Emergency Services. Information
gathered from that session will inform revisions to the plan. An excerpted final version of the
plan will be available on the City’s intranet once it is approved. Specific information that could
jeopardize safety will be redacted from the public version.

Al Boleda has contributed to the Cupertino Citizen Corps program by serving as the volunteer
Assistant Emergency Coordinator for the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). Al provides
leadership to the organization by maintaining the ARKS including inventory, equipment, and
training. Al has extended his involvement by leading other neighborhoods in the maintenance of
their ARK as well.
The ARKs are used as the disaster communication link between the City and the local community,
act as an information exchange about existing local hazards, and coordinate the local neighborhood
response. Through Al’s leadership, the CERT members are better equipped and able to support their
neighborhood, family, and friends.
Even throughout the COVID-19 response, Al has dedicated his time to maintain the ARKs. Without
regular attention, the ARKs may have missed regular inventory rotations or equipment may not
have functioned as well. Al ensured the ARKs would remain available to the community.

Al Boleda sets the example by ensuring readiness of equipment and inventory of the ARKs. Al has
been instrumental in the development of an infectious disease protocol during COVID-19 to ensure
the ARKs remain functional and accessible even during the pandemic.
Al also reminds all the volunteers that disaster wait for no one to be ready. We are all responsible
for the safety of our families and neighborhoods. Al has worked through processes to ensure safe
and effective engagement of the neighborhoods at the ARKs including partnering with the City to
work on neighborhood communication processes via family radio.
3. Describe the effort involved, and challenges or obstacles the individual had to overcome, to achieve
their success.
During the COVID-19 Pandemic, Al has worked with the City to develop an infectious disease
protocol during COVID-19 to ensure the ARKs remain functional and accessible. The ARKs remain a
critical asset to the overall City emergency response infrastructure. Additionally, Al has participated
in a evaluation pilot to assess the capabilities of a new windshield survey application that will
enhance the City’s ability to collect early impact data. Al has tested the application and provided
extremely useful feedback for improvement.
