Subject
Satellite Community Garden Project.
Recommended Actions
Receive an update from staff regarding the selection of potential Satellite Community
Garden locations.
Discussion
The City Council approved the Community Garden at McClellan Ranch at their February
18,2020 meeting. $300,000 of the original funds were set aside last year for use in Satellite
Gardens in other locations throughout the community. At the February 2020 Parks &
Recreation Commission meeting, the Commissioners were asked to identify a few
potential locations in Cupertino for further evaluation by each of the Commissioners.
That list of potential locations was presented to the Commissioners at the March 2020
Commission meeting, however the COVID-19 shelter-in-place order has prevented the
commissioners from performing all of the site visits necessary to evaluate the various
locations. The project will resume once the shelter-in-place order is lifted.
Sustainability Impact
No sustainability impact is associated with the receipt of this report, although there may
be impacts when a Satellite Community Garden is constructed.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with the receipt of this report, although there will be
fiscal impacts to the City when a Satellite Community Garden is constructed.

and staff then handled the administrative tasks while working from home, the Parks
Rangers continued to monitor the trail, and a few employees tended to the animals at
McClellan Ranch. The Parks and Recreation Department has continued to monitor updates
to the County's Shelter in Place Order and adapt as needed. At the July 2nd Parks and
Recreation Commission meeting we will provide the most up-to-date information on the
Coronavirus' impacts to the Parks and Recreation Department's programs.

PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
Meeting:July 2,2020
Subject
Provide Recommendation to City Council Regarding the Dog Off Leash Area Trial at
Jollyman Park.
Recommended Action
Provide direction on extending the DOLA trial period.
Discussion
On September 5,2019,Parks&Recreation Commission recommended moving forward
with a ten-month trial for the Dog Off-Leash Area (DOLA) at Jollyman Park. The
duration of the trial was scheduled through spring and summer months, during which
time the mixed-use field is also permitted to youth baseball and soccer groups.
The DOLA trial began on October 1, 2019.At that point, Cupertino Little League was no
longer using the mixed-use field and soccer was only occurring on the soccer field. The
trial was stopped due to COVID-19 from March 24, 2020-June 4,2020. The DOLA
reopened on June 5, 2020 in accordance with State and Santa Clara County guidelines.
Currently, the State is still prohibiting youth sports and games. There is not sufficient
data to assess how well youth sports and a DOLA are able to co-exist.
Staff feel it would be in the best interest of the community to extend the DOLA trial past
the original end date of July 31, 2020. Staff are proposing to continue the trial through
June 30,2021. This would allow us to gather at least two months of data to evaluate the
co-existence of youth sports groups and the DOLA, to provide feedback, and to make a
recommendation.
In addition to extending the DOLA trial,we ask that Commission review the hours and
make a recommendation for the remainder of the trial.
• Option 1--Hours could be shifted to 1 hour before and 1 hour after sunset.This
aligns with the posted closing hours of the park.
• Option 2--Continue with the two-hour blocks as follows:
March-August(6-8 pm), September-October(5-7 pm),
November-February (4-6 pm)
17
Once the trial concludes,we would ask the Parks&Recreation Commission to make a
recommendation on the DOLA to City Council. Once City Council provides direction on
how to proceed,the trial would officially conclude.
Sustainability Impact
No sustainability impacts.
Fiscal Impact
$300 for updated A-frame signage

Subject: DOLA Update agenda item Nov 7, 2019
Dear Parks and Rec Commissioners,
Thanks for putting the DOLA update on the agenda for the commission meeting this week. I want to provide some
points prior to the meeting so you know what we are asking and why.
With the end of daylight savings, the open hours of 5-7pm make the dog off leash area in Jollyman park difficult to use
for the next three months. Sunset is currently at 5:04pm, and will be as early as 4:50pm in December. If DOLA hours are
5-7 we are in the dark for two hours after sunset. It is difficult to see people, dogs and balls.
We are requesting an adjustment of DOLA hours to be earlier during the winter months. I understand staff raised
concerns about park usage at 4pm, potential conflicts with youth sports, and the cost of changing the signs
($300). There was also a question about whether people know what an hour before or after sunset means.
In our experience there are even fewer users of the park in the winter than in the summer. We have taken pictures for
the last five days at—4pm in the park to show almost no usage at that hour. There are no permitted youth activities
taking place in the back part of Jollyman in the winter. And our group is happy to contribute to the cost of changing
signage if required.
The posted park rules indicate the park closes an hour after sunset. If the city has that as a regulation,then I think it is
implicit that they expect people to know when an hour after sunset happens. Frankly no one in our group wants to be in
the park an hour after sunset because it is too dark.
This is a trial, the rules are not set in stone, and we hope the city can be flexible. Allowing us to be out during times that
work for dog owners and other park users motivated our original request of an hour before and an hour after
sunset. We still believe that ask is reasonable.
I look forward to the discussion at the Commission meeting.
Regards,
Sameer

Concerns from Staff
1 . Clarity of Timing
" Because the exact time for dusk changes almost every single day, we chase not
to use an hour before and after dusk as we felt that was too vague . We wanted to
give specific hours so that people wanting to use the DOLA would know exactly
when they could use the off-leash area . "'
Park rules allow people in the park 7 hour after sunset - this is not vague
34
Concerns from Staff
2 . Conflicts with youth sports
"We also felt these hours would decrease conflicts with field times permitted to
youth sports groups ." '
There are no sports groups using the field in the winter
Concerns from Staff
3 . Confusion and additional expense
"Making changes at this time could create confusion and will result in additional
expenses. . . . Any proposed program changes may result in new signage , which
would be approximately $300 . VP 1
There is no one out on the field except our group.
Our group is ready to pick up the $300 cost to change signage .
36
Change the time to 4-6pm from Nov - Mar 8, 2020
• We are asking for something close to the timing we originally requested
The hours of 4-6 from the start of November to early March will make the field
usable for four of the ten months of the trial.
• Move the time back to 6-8 on March 9, when daylight savings begins again ' •2

Dear Cupertino Parks and Recreation Commissioners,
First of all,I would like to thank you for the fantastic and ground breaking work you have done,to enable the
Cupertino community and their dogs the opportunity to use our local resources equitably,by approving a 10 month
trial for the Dogs off-leash Area two hours a day in Jollyman Park.I and my dog(s)are an avid user of this facility
and we love it.
I have 6 year old lab retriever. She looks forward to meeting her friends every day during this time.During the
social interaction between the dogs in the 2 hour off leash time,she releases all her pent-up energy.This keeps her
physically and mentally healthy.
It would also be great if a dog water fountain could be installed in the off-leash area.
Finally,I am sorry I could not attend the March Parks and Recreation meeting where an update on this project was
discussed.I would like to request you to please make this trial a permanent feature of the park.In fact,I would
highly encourage that this should be expanded to other Cupertino parks,as well.That way the population of 11,600+
dogs in Cupertino will all have"time based"access to our wonderful parks.
I plan to attend the June meeting for the final trial readout.
Thank you,
Raj Avasarala

Dear Cupertino Parks and Recreation Commissioners,
I am sorry I could not attend the March Parks and Recreation meeting where an update on this
project was discussed. I had an occasional cough which had started several days before. Given
the recent coronavirus situation, I decided not to attend.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my opinion on the issue.
I am one of many happy dog owners that visit Jollyman DOLA regularly. Before becoming an
avid user of Jollyman DOLA, I had visited many nearby dog parks or dog-friendly parks
including those in neighboring cities like Sunnyvale, and San Jose.
Jollyman park is not the nearest park from my home. Mary Avenue Dog Park is closer. Still I
go to Jollyman, not Mary Avenue Dog Park. The reason is because my dog is happier at
Jollyman. The keyword here is "happy". If my dog is not happy, there is no point for me to go
there.
Let me address two points that people may have concerns against DOLA with.
1. Risk of dog being off-leash
If people think that off-leash dog means risk, then I think that having a well-marked area/hours
would make the risk more manageable.
If you ask any dog owner if he/she has ever let the dog play off-leash in places other than the
backyard or dog runs, the majority would answer yes. It may imply that dog owners find
facilities that would make their dogs happy are not readily available. Given the reality, if we
have DOLA, more dog owners may choose to come to DOLA instead of letting their dogs off-
leash elsewhere. It might even help reducing dog incidents rather than increasing.
2. Conflict to other activities
I did not see many other activities in the fields near DOLA at DOLA hours.
We could add the wording on the DOLA signs and say that anybody who want to have an
activity near DOLA at DOLA hours, you could contact the following number to discuss and
resolve any issue or conflict.
I intend to attend the June meeting where the final trial readout will be.
I would like to request that you could arrange the order of the agenda so that issues that would
likely take longer be discussed after the issues that would take less.
Thank you and with kind regards,

I like this place as its close from my house and surrounded by lush green grass. I use the park
almost 6 days a week and my dog, Roman has lot of friends in this park. It would be great. if
we could get water fountain near DOLA.
Finally, I am sorry I could not attend the March Parks and Recreation meeting where an

Myself, my husband and my 7 year old Golden Baby (named ACE), love to go there DAILY. *EVERY*
*SINGLE* *DAY*, rain or shine. We carry a communal water bowl and a big bottle of water for all
our thirsty four legged friends, and settle down for 45 minutes to an hour of unparalleled fun. We
catch up with our neighbors, complain about bosses, talk about family lives, exchange notes on the
politics and COVIDI9. A thriving, growing family of dog lovers community making instant bonds and
connections! Needless to say, it is the highlight of our day and our dogs' day.
Finally, I am sorry I could not attend the March Parks and Recreation meeting where an update on

while you work towards a permanent plan so there is no break in our routine. It is hard to tell a Dog
why we can't go to the park any more (or worse:to go and be out of compliance with the park rules).
I intend to attend the June meeting where the final trial readout will be, but I request that you
discuss our agenda first, so we can speak earlier and not have to stay till midnight.

Communication Received Regarding the JollymanDog Off Leash Area Trial
Date Name Feedback
10.24.19 Nancy Cantor dog off leash at Jollyman running throughout the park that morning.Feels unsafe.Permanent signs are gone,temporary signs not
where you enter the park
City response--Jenny confirmed permanent signs are still in place,2 a-frames are at 2 entrances to park,recommended she contact Code/Sheriff non.
Koverman emergency if dogs are off-leash during non DOLA hours.Provided phone numbers
10.25.19 Catherine Coe Questions regarding the evaluation process,what type of violation would stop the trial,what type of coverage would we have,who
is paying for the monitor,how can they report violations,when did the hours change,signs have been moved to expand area
(included pictures)
City response--Jenny explained how the City would be evaluating the trial,how incidents would be dealt with,how rule violations would be handled.P&R
Koverman is paying for the monitor--trying to find PT staff but FT staff have gone out a couple times.Explained procedure for reporting
violations,the rationale behind the hours,and went over why the signs had been moved after the first couple of days.
10.27.19 Carol Stanek asked about adjusting the hours
City response--Jenny Explained how hours were chosen--based on survey,staff looking at avg.time for dusk.
10.29.19 Carol Stanek I got another question about the times again today when I was at the dog park.The users are getting concerned as we get closer to
ending Daylight Savings Time.
10.30.19 City response--Jenny spoke with Randy about the off-leash area yesterday.We are keeping the times as posted at the DOLA for the duration of the trial.
Koverman Should we move forward with off leash areas in the city,the open hours will be addressed.Based on the survey results,the most
preferred time for the trial was late evening to dusk.We created the times because we were trying to be true to the evening time.
When the sun sets earlier in the winter,that would mean the open time could be as early as 3pm,which is outside late evening to
dusk.There will also be a point in the summer that closing at 8pm will be earlier than dusk.In deference to those whose houses back
up to the off-leash area,we felt 9pm might be too late.
10.30.19 Carol Stanek
Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I respectfully disagree with the decision. I don't think survey results were intended or can
be detailed enough to address specifics like when the sun sets. This is setting up a situation where the users have to choose
between living within this parameter(which effectively negates the trial for 4 of the months)or using the DOLA outside of the
approved parameters,which is exactly what the residents and city were trying to avoid by creating this area and trial.The residents
have been extremely supportive of the city's process. I'm sure they would have liked to resolve this without escalating it.Thanks for
the feedback. I will notify the users at the park who have asked me about the hours.Always tough to be the bearer of bad news.
11.1.19 Sameer Raheja asked about adjusting the hours,he and Randy talked on the phone and per Randy's suggestion he asked for the hours to be
discussed at the Commission meeting
11.7.19 Sameer Raheja Thanks for putting the COLA update on the agenda for the commission meeting this week.
11.15.19 City response--Karen Levy I would like to inform you that effective December 1,2019 the DOLA hours will be adjusted to
4:OOpm-6:OOpm.After further staff review we felt it was important to establish a compromise that
would satisfy all park users.The next two weeks will provide staff the opportunity to produce new
signs and disseminate the information to the public.Please continue to adhere to the current
guidelines set in place.We appreciate your cooperation and we hope that this change is an
improvement that allows you to better utilize the COLA during the trial.We continue to welcome
your feedback as we work through the DOLA trial period.
11.16.19 Sameer Raheja asked if we could set up a regular meeting with City staff and the DOLA group
11.18.19 City response--Kim Calame agreed to talk to Randy when he returned but didn't see the need for montly meetings.

6.18.20 Charlie Hanson I am a charter member of this group. I was a daily visitor to Jollyman since the park was first built and have seen many changes.The
best was"legalizing"our off leash dogs.This trial has served as a model for the many other unofficial DOLA's in Cupertino's other
parks.I encourage you to make the Jollyman DOLA a permanent feature for our dogs and their owners. The DOLA has been a
tremendous way to meet our neighbors and their dogs.

to pay my full taxes for the schools,even though I could get the senior discount.All I ask is a little bit of space for me and my dog to
go out and have fun!Thank you!

We have been working with the city to open the DOLA trials for our dogs for nearly three years.
It is unfortunate that along with many other normal activities,the trial was shut down during COVID 1.Thank you and the county for
opening it up on June Sth 2020 2.Please continue the DOLA beyond its original end date of July 31,till there is a permanent
resolution.Due to COVID,we only were able to use the place for 4 months out of 8 so far,though and we have provided the usage
data.Please consider this email a request to vote to continue DOLA trials during the upcoming Parks and Recreation meeting.

I would like to share with you how happy my dog Indy and I are now the DOLA is operational again.It is not just the off leash exercis
and socialization that is important for the dogs,it is also the community aspect where so many of us have got to know each other in
the surrounding neighborhoods.The camaraderie friendship are not the only factors,we know often where each other lives and it
helps us all keep an eye out for each other and suspicious activity in the area which strengthens the Neighborhood Watch concepts
as we walk around when not in the park.In the park our activity in the evening when there is little use of the other facilities is also a
deterrent to others who cruise by and take off when they see it is in use.Please consider extending or making permanent the Dogs
Off Leash program and build a stronger community.If any of you have dogs please walk on over to the park and join us.

6.22.20 Manjaya Hedge Again thank you for granting the DOLA trial in Jollyman park which ends on July 31,2020.We request you to extend the trial period
for another year or make it a permanent dog park.Here are
the benefits:1.While dogs and their owners love playing in them,dog parks can create a safer,more active,pet-friendly community.
Dog parks make your community safer by offering a secure
area for dogs to play and socialize,without getting in the way of others.2.Behavior problems are the number one reason pets are
brought to shelters or abandoned.Having access to a dog park means your pal can get the vital exercise he
needs while becoming socialized.These things combined with training can drastically reduce the number of behavioral issues,such
as barking and digging,that lead many to give away their pet.Because of this,the overcrowding of shelters can be reduced.

Thursday,October 3,2019 4:40-5:45pm 5-6 dogs present.When I arrived,there was a man in the DOLA throwing the ball across the park towards the ball field
I spoke to him about where he was throwing the ball and about the fact that he was outside the
posted hours of 5-7pm.He left.The barricades designating the barrier were in the incorrect spot so
I moved them out to the correct location.Two dogs were not getting along,so one woman took he
dog over to the ball field to throw the ball.I spoke with her and she went back to the off-leash area
Something to consider,most of the yards that back up to the area have gates into the park.A basketbal
came over the fence and a young boy ran out the fence to retrieve it.This was in the off leash area

Sunday,October 27,2019 4:50-5:50pm Seems to be confusion over the boundary and where the A-frames should go.Hard to tell from the
overhead map,but the border is the last redwood tree down the left field line.Moved the signs to thi!
location and asked PW to put a mark on the fence.Also notified the pro dog group.2-5 dogs present,
occasional intentional throwing outside the area(Sameer).

Subject
Parks and Recreation Commission FY 2020/21 Work Program.
Recommended Action
Review and Provide Recommendation to City Council on Parks and Recreation Commission
FY 2020/21 Work Program.
Discussion
Council approved this City Work Program shortly after a Local Emergency proclamation was
issued (along with State and Federal emergency proclamations)related to the COVID-19
pandemic. At that time,it was acknowledged that the Work Program presented on March 31
would need to be updated as circumstances evolved, and more information became available
on how the pandemic would impact the City.After further evaluation of administrative and
financial impacts, it has been determined that the City is likely to experience significant revenue
losses and a potential recession.Amendments occurred at the June 2 City Council meeting due
to revenue losses related to COVID-19, the FY 2020/21 City Work Program was reviewed to
identify items that could be scaled back or removed in order to maintain a balanced budget.
The final adopted version of the FY 2020/21 City Work Program (Attachment F) is attached.
A document entitled Guidance on Commission Work Programs FY 2020121 (Attachment A)is
attached as an additional resource and was instrumental in establishing the proposed work
program for your review. Some of the Parks and Recreation Commission proposals that were
decided upon at the February 6, 2020 meeting(Attachment D)were incorporated into the City
work program. The municipal code,program budget and staff allocations (Attachment B), as
well as incomplete items from the Commission's FY 2019/20 Work Program (Attachment C)
were considered when staff revised the amended Parks and Recreation Commission's FY
2020/21 work program (Attachment E). Please note the ongoing operational items are not
included in the annual work program.
It is recommended that the Parks and Recreation Commission review and approve the
proposed amended FY 2020/21 Parks and Recreation Commission Work Program
(Attachment E) for recommendation to City Council

GUIDANCE ON COMMISSION WORK PROGRAMS FY 2020-21
Role of Commissions
Commissions are established to advise City Council on policy decisions. Commissions carry out
this responsibility by by reviewing information,weighing public input, and examining issues in
depth in order to render a recommendation to the Council. Therefore, items that Council will be
considering may come before a commission to make a recommendation for Council.
Commissions provide insights for Council specific to their purview as outlined in the Municipal
Code, in addition to providing valuable insight as members of the community. The City Work
Program includes special items that commissions may be asked to advise on, in addition to the
commission's routine work.
Role of Commission Staff Liaison
The staff liaison is responsible for coordinating the work of the commission and ensuring that
the Brown Act and Municipal Code are followed. The staff liaison, as well as all other City staff
and Departments, are directed by the City Manager.

presented to changes Work Program
Council
In the December/January timeframe, Council requests that each Commission submit suggested
ideas for the City Work Program for the upcoming fiscal year. These suggestions are taken into
consideration by Departments and the City Manager in developing the proposed City Work
Program for Council consideration. When the proposed City Work Program is presented to
Council in March, suggested ideas submitted by Commissions are provided as attachments.
Commission suggestions that have been incorporated in the proposed City Work Program are
indicated. After the City Work Program is adopted by Council, Commissions review
Commission Work Programs based upon the items identified for their Commission in the
approved City Work Program. Final Commission Work Programs should typically be brought
for Council's approval as consent items before July. "However,given the June revisions to the
FY 2020-21 City Work Program due to COVID-19, it is reasonable that Commission Work
Programs will be brought for Council's approval later than June,but as early as feasible."
55
GUIDANCE ON COMMISSION WORK PROGRAMS FY 2020-21
Guidance on Commission Work Programs
Commission Work Programs align with and support the City Work Program. Generally, work
programs govern agendas. Commissioners work together on the annual Commission Work
Programs and aim over the course of the year to address those items.
At an agendized meeting, commissions consider the Commission Work Program for the
upcoming year. The Liaison will prepare the Commission Work Program with items from the
approved City Work Program that were identified for the commission. Additional minor items
may be added to the Commission Work Program as resources allow. It is important that all
items are within the purview of the commission as defined in the Municipal Code. Once a final
draft is completed, the commission votes on a recommendation for Council to approve the
Commission Work Program.
