Discussion
Unlike the Monthly Treasurer’s and Treasurer’s Investment Reports requiring regular
reporting within a specific number of days, pursuant to California Government Code
Section 41004 and 53607, the frequency of reporting the City’s Payment Register follows
the City Resolution No. 5939, where the report will be “presented to the City Council not
less often than once a month for ratification.” As such, monthly batches of Weekly
Payment Registers are presented to City Council on the second meeting following the
close of the reporting period to ensure sufficient time to present the previous month's
batches within one report.
Sustainability Impact
No sustainability impact.
Fiscal Impact
No fiscal impact.
California Environmental Quality Act
Not applicable.

ATTACHMENT A ‐ AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF CUPERTINO TO AMEND MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTERS
19.04 (GENERAL PROVISIONS), 19.08 (DEFINITIONS), AND 19.60
(GENERAL COMMERCIAL (CG) ZONES)
The sections of the Cupertino Municipal Code set forth below are amended or adopted as
follows:
1. Amendments to Title 19 concerning General Commercial Land Use
19.04.100 Exclusionary zoning.
When a use is not specifically listed as a permitted or conditional use, it shall be
assumed that such use is prohibited, unless it is determined by the Director of
Community Development that the use is similar to, and not more intensive than,
the uses listed. Requests for determinations for specific uses shall be submitted
to the Director of Community Development in writing, with a detailed
description of the proposed use, its proposed location, and intended hours of
operation. Additional information may be required by the Director of
Community Development in order to prepare the determination for individual

requested determination shall be in writing and shall be final.
19.08.030 Definitions.
“Bar Facility” means part of an establishment used primarily for the sale of
alcoholic beverages to be consumed on the premises, provided that the restaurant
and bar/lounge area operate as a single entity. The physical layout, entry

cannot remain open when the dining area is closed. However, the dining area may
be open while the bar/lounge area is closed. This is in contrast to a "Drinking
establishment” which is a business that is primarily devoted to the selling of
alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises.
“Farmers’ market” means a market certified by the state or county agricultural
commission under Title 3, Chapter 3, Article 6.5 of the California Administrative

Executive Summary
Homelessness is a complex, regional problem. The City has procedures in place and
employs strategies to collaboratively, equitably, and humanely address the unhoused
encampments, balancing the safety and cleanliness of City streets and the rights and
needs of unhoused individuals. The City partners with Santa Clara County and West
Valley Community Services to provide outreach and engagement services. The City
Manager's Office also leads the Unhoused Task Force—a cross-agency, multi-sector
team that operates without a budget, relying on the collaboration and expertise of staff
and department resources.
The City Council has requested a study session on the status of unhoused services and
relative needs in the City following the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling in City of
Grants Pass v. Johnson, 603 U.S. ___ (2024). The report outlines the legal basis for
120

unhoused services, highlights existing services in the City, reviews processes for
encampment resolution, and provides an overview of processes initiated in similar
jurisdictions. The report is divided into the following key sections:
• Background
• Current Status of Unhoused Individuals in Cupertino
• City's Unhoused Task Force
• Countywide Service Model: Office of Supportive Housing
• Overview of Local Jurisdictional Programs
• Potential Options Forward
Background
There are many concerns about environmental, health, and safety issues related to
homeless encampments in Cupertino. Several court decisions until very recently
drastically reduced the City's ability to "evict" or "remove" individuals living on public
lands, including City-owned property.
Martin v. City of Boise
In 2018, the federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held that imposing criminal penalties
for camping or sleeping on public property constituted cruel and unusual punishment
under the 8th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Martin v. City of Boise, 902 F.3d 1031
(9th Cir. 2018). Subsequent court rulings extended Martin to effectively require an offer
of alternative shelter (i.e., a dedicated shelter bed or sanctioned outdoor location) before
action could be taken to resolve a homeless encampment. Like other jurisdictions in the
Ninth Circuit, the City of Cupertino adopted the practice of offering dedicated shelter
before resolving any encampment in a public place. Due in part to limited shelter
availability, encampments continue to exist.
2024 Legal Decision
On June 28, 2024, the Supreme Court overturned the Ninth Circuit's Martin v. City of
Boise ruling in Grants Pass v. Johnson, 902 F.3d 1031. The Court concluded that enforcing
anti-camping ordinances against homeless individuals, as practiced in Grants Pass,
Oregon, does not violate the Eighth Amendment's ban on cruel and unusual
punishment. This decision eliminates the legal requirement to provide shelter before
dismantling an encampment. Consequently, the decision allows cities increased
authority to establish encampment regulations tailored to specific health and safety
concerns.
The Grants Pass decision does not change other legal obligations that protect the rights of
unsheltered individuals, including protections against unreasonable searches and the
right to due process. The City protects these rights by posting advanced notices to
vacate, evaluating abandoned items at encampments, and storing items of value for up
to 90 days.
Current Status of Unhoused Individuals in Cupertino
121
CC 10-15-2024
121 of 328
Page 3 of 9
The Point in Time Count (PIT) is a semi-annual survey that provides a snapshot of the
number of sheltered and unsheltered homeless individuals within a specific area on a
designated day in January. This count is part of a national initiative led by the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development. The data from the PIT Count is
instrumental in understanding the extent of homelessness, identifying trends, assessing
needs, and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions.
The PIT Count and subsequent reports show that the City of Cupertino has consistently
had fewer homeless individuals than nearby cities. The semi-annual PIT count
highlights the city's ongoing efforts, with a significant decrease from 159 individuals in
2019 to 48 in 2023. This data helps identify trends, assess needs, and evaluate
intervention effectiveness.

City's Unhoused Task Force
In 2020, the City of Cupertino established an Unhoused Task Force, which convenes
representatives from multiple city departments to address homelessness-related issues
as they arise. This cross-agency, multi-sector Task Force operates without a dedicated
budget, relying on the collaboration and expertise of staff and department resources.
The Task Force's responsibilities include responding to resident inquiries, coordinating
with local service providers, addressing encampments, and providing outreach and
support to individuals experiencing homelessness. The Task Force follows the City's
Process for Assisting Unhoused Residents (Attachment A), which was updated in
September 2022. On December 15, 2020, the City Council adopted a resolution endorsing
the Santa Clara County Community Plan to End Homelessness 2020-2025 (Attachment
B). The Task Force supports Strategy 3: Improving the quality of life for unsheltered
individuals and creating healthy neighborhoods for all.
The Task Force includes participation from various departments and organizations, such
as the City Manager's Office, the Office of Emergency Management, the Public Works
Department, the Community Development Department, the Sheriff's Office, the County
of Santa Clara Office of Supportive Housing, and the West Valley Community Services.
The duties of the Unhoused Task Force are multifaceted and essential for addressing the
intricate issue of homelessness within the city. In addition to their primary roles,
members of the Task Force are involved in:
• Resource Coordination: By leveraging existing resources, the Task Force ensures
that services are provided to unhoused individuals and encampments. Outreach
122
CC 10-15-2024
122 of 328
Page 4 of 9
and engagement services provided in kind by the county and non-profits help
assess and identify specific needs that need to be addressed and tracked by the
Task Force.
• Responding to the Community: The Task Force responds to community
members and local businesses to raise awareness about homelessness and foster
a collaborative approach to addressing homelessness issues.
• Partnership Development: The Task Force built cooperative partnerships with
agencies not typically linked to Cupertino's unhoused individuals. This includes
grants from the County Board of Supervisors, in-kind trash bins from Recology,
and entry into the Coordinated Entry System.
• Emergency Response: In times of crisis, such as extreme weather conditions or
public health emergencies, the Task Force coordinates with the County of Santa
Clara emergency shelter and services to ensure the safety and well-being of the
unhoused population.
• Encampment Resolution: When the County and non-profits exhaust available
options and the City Manager concludes the encampment presents a health and
safety concern, the Task Force coordinates an encampment resolution as a last
resort. Once the determination for a resolution has been made, the Task Force
conducts the following steps:
o The Task Force coordinates a date and time all services are available. Staff
from the City, Sheriff's Office, and any in-kind non-profit support are
scheduled.
o Public Works develops a traffic plan if needed to protect staff during the
operation. Public Works staff will deploy and retrieve delineators, cones,
and barricades as needed, including notifying Valley Transportation
Authority of any impacts to bus lines.
o A contractor is engaged to conduct the physical removal of encampment
items and clean the area according to environmental regulations.
o Code Enforcement posts a notice to the encampment occupants of the
City's intent to dismantle the encampment and to have the area cleared of
any items that remain at the location.
o Code Enforcement works with the contractor to assess all items
remaining and any items of apparent value are stored for up to 90 days.
The posted notice provides guidance to individuals on how to retrieve
their belongings.
o The contractor collects debris, cleans the area, and hauls materials away
from the location.
o The Task Force confirms the restoration of the site.
Each encampment resolution has resulted in unbudgeted costs to the City.
Contractor expenses related to encampment resolutions have been accounted for
in the City Manager's Contingency as needed. While each encampment varies in
size and complexity, staff have estimated the costs for a single-occupant
encampment below. The estimates do not account for coordinating outreach and

As evidenced by the overall reduction in the PIT Count, the Unhoused Task Force's
comprehensive approach made a significant impact on the lives of the unhoused
community in Cupertino. By leveraging existing resources, the Task Force ensures that
the City's response to homelessness is both efficient and effective.
Santa Clara County Grant Funding
Starting in 2023, the Unhoused Task Force partnered with Supervisor Simitian's Office to
secure a grant of $50,000 from the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors. The Task
Force secured a second grant in 2024, making the total amount received $100,000 to date.
These funds are designated specifically to enhance the services provided to the
unhoused population and are instrumental in bolstering the Task Force's efforts,
enabling more comprehensive outreach and robust support, and implementing
innovative solutions to homelessness within the community. The first $50,000 grant was
awarded in Fiscal Year 2023 - 2024 to bolster the Haven to Home program at West
Valley Community Services, a crucial initiative aimed at facilitating transitions from
homelessness to stable housing. The County grants have come in support of the City's
prior investment into Haven to Home. This funding significantly increased direct
services to unhoused individuals by addressing immediate needs.
The City will pursue an agreement using the second $50,000 grant from the Santa Clara
County Board of Supervisors to enhance outreach and engagement services for
unhoused individuals. The City has limited outreach and engagement services due to
the absence of a direct service agreement and dedicated funding. Any outreach and
engagement services have been provided in kind by the County or West Valley
Community Services. By enhancing these services, the City hopes to significantly
124
CC 10-15-2024
124 of 328
Page 6 of 9
improve the rate of engagement with unhoused individuals and encampments. By
leveraging this grant, the City aims to expedite its response to notifications of
encampments through Cupertino 311, ensuring the timely provision of assistance and
interventions. This approach is intended to address the immediate needs of the
unhoused community more effectively, fostering a supportive and responsive
environment for all residents.
Countywide Service Model: Office of Supportive Housing
The County of Santa Clara, through its Office of Supportive Housing (OSH), provides a
comprehensive system of support for individuals experiencing homelessness. This
model includes a range of programs and services designed to assist individuals in
securing and maintaining stable housing.
OSH plays a central role in addressing homelessness in Cupertino and neighboring
jurisdictions. OSH coordinates a variety of services aimed at preventing and reducing
homelessness, including:
• Homelessness Prevention Programs: These programs offer rental assistance,
legal services, and financial aid to individuals and families at risk of eviction.
• Emergency Shelters and Transitional Housing: OSH manages temporary
housing services across the county, though shelters are often at capacity,
requiring additional solutions.
• Permanent Supportive Housing: OSH provides long-term housing assistance
combined with supportive services to help individuals achieve housing stability.
• Rapid Rehousing: This program offers short-term rental assistance and
supportive services to help individuals and families quickly exit homelessness
and stabilize them in housing.
• Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services: OSH collaborates with local
healthcare providers to refer unhoused individuals with mental health or
substance dependency issues to available services.
Biannually, the County develops a progress report on the services and programs
provided for the unhoused. The 2024 Mid-Year Progress Report on the Community Plan
to End Homelessness is available in Attachment B.
Overview of Local Jurisdictional Programs
Staff's initial research of local jurisdictions shows that several cities in the area have
adopted diverse policies and strategies to tackle homelessness. These are listed below.
More in-depth research is needed on the effectiveness and impact of these strategies.
Town of Los Gatos
On August 26, 2024, The Town of Los Gatos Town Council authorized the Town
Manager to negotiate and execute an Agreement with the County of Santa Clara to
provide unhoused engagement services in an amount not to exceed $92,777. The Town
125
CC 10-15-2024
125 of 328
Page 7 of 9
intends to contract unhoused engagement services through OSH to leverage existing
contracts, ensure cohesive implementation, and expand on services already provided
through OSH. Like Cupertino, the outreach teams currently serve Los Gatos on a limited
basis for a few hours a month, when available, as they are responsible for meeting the
needs throughout the County. The recommended dedicated funding through their
agreement with the County ensures a consistent presence in the Town, enabling
outreach teams to build rapport with unhoused individuals. This dedicated funding also
allows for coordination between the Town and County staff to identify individuals and
geographic areas for deployment, so the outreach is responsive to the Town's needs. The
source of the grant funding is the same County grant received by Cupertino in FY
2023/2024 and FY 2024/2025.
City of Morgan Hill and City of Campbell
Morgan Hill and Campbell received the capacity-building grant from Destination: Home
to support work related to the 2020-2025 Community Plan to End Homelessness. The
three-year partnership has enabled Morgan Hill and Campbell to hire dedicated liaisons
on homelessness issues (with a particular focus on Strategy 3: Improving the quality of
life for unsheltered individuals and creating healthy neighborhoods for all). The grant
requires demonstrated support from each city for the Community Plan to End
Homelessness. The grant award in both cities covers the first three years of costs. Long-
term funding is needed in both cities for the position.
West Valley Shelter Feasibility Study
The City of Campbell City Council recently allocated $100,000 for a West Valley Shelter
Feasibility Study. The study will assess the feasibility of creating a facility to provide
temporary or emergency housing for the unhoused population in the West Valley. There
are currently 221 homeless individuals in the West Valley (County 2023 PIT count), and
no shelters or temporary housing options exist. Campbell anticipates completing MOUs
in the coming months, entering into an agreement with Home Base by the end of 2024,
and completing the study in 2025.
The study has two parts:
• Evaluate the demographics of the West Valley's unhoused population (data from
the Office of Supportive Housing).
• Analyze and recommend facilities and services for temporary housing (options
include shelters, hotel rooms, sanctioned camping, and tiny homes) with cost
estimates.
City of Berkeley
On September 10, 2024, the City Council of Berkeley, California, approved a policy and
made changes to a local ordinance aimed at regulating homeless encampments. This
policy establishes location restrictions and designates areas where encampments are
allowed while imposing strict rules for their maintenance and hygiene to safeguard the
well-being of both housed and unhoused individuals. The policy prioritizes ongoing
126
CC 10-15-2024
126 of 328
Page 8 of 9
shelter offers, with a preference for individual units, but it also explicitly grants the City
Manager authority to clear encampments under certain conditions. The policy is noted
as a prominent example of City Council direction regarding encampment resolution
policy.
Future Potential Options to Consider
While the City has made significant progress in reducing unsheltered homelessness
since 2020, the City of Grants Pass ruling has prompted the reevaluation of encampment
resolution practices and policies throughout the state. In responding to the ruling, the
City Council may wish to take into account the relative success of the City's current
practices and the relatively limited scale of unsheltered homelessness in Cupertino, as
well as the constraints imposed by the City's extensive reliance on outside agencies and
resources to address the needs of unsheltered individuals and the impact of
homelessness on the community. Any policy changes adopted by the City of Cupertino
should take into account this regional context. For these reasons, staff recommend the
City Council consider the following options:
1. Continue the current model of the City's Unhoused Task Force, Process for
Assisting Unhoused Residents, and partnerships with the County of Santa Clara
to measurably serve the City based on the relative needs of existing unhoused
residents, including continuing to seek partnerships and possible grant
opportunities.
OR
2. Direct the City Manager to propose an item in the Fiscal Year 2025-2027 City
Work Program to develop an encampment management policy by evaluating
examples from other jurisdictions in the Bay Area and incorporating best
practices for review by the City Council.
Sustainability Impact
No sustainability impact.
Fiscal Impact
Option 1: Continued Support and Partnerships
Should the City Council determine that the existing framework of the City's Unhoused
Task Force, the Process for Assisting Unhoused Residents, and partnerships with the
County of Santa Clara sufficiently meet the needs of the current unhoused population,
the fiscal impact will primarily involve the maintenance of the existing system. Under
this scenario, staff will continue seeking partnerships and potential grant opportunities,
which could provide supplementary funding. This approach may incur minimal
additional costs beyond the current budget allocations, provided that there are no
significant changes in service demand or in the costs associated with maintaining the
127
CC 10-15-2024
127 of 328
Page 9 of 9
current level of support. Additionally, the $50,000 grants received from the County of
Santa Clara in Fiscal Years 2023 – 2024 and 2024 – 2025 may not continue.
Option 2: Development of an Encampment Management Policy
If the City Council directs staff to develop an encampment management policy for
inclusion in the Fiscal Year 2025-2027 City Work Program, this will likely require a more
substantial fiscal commitment. The creation, implementation, and ongoing maintenance
of a new policy will necessitate resources for evaluating best practices, drafting policy
documents, and potentially hiring additional staff or consultants. Continuous funding
will be required to support the ongoing management and enforcement of the policy. An
estimated cost of this option would be provided as part of the Fiscal Year 2025-2027
Work Program process.

City Of Cupertino Process For Assisting Unhoused Residents
September 16, 2022
Cupertino City Council Resolution 20-140, adopted on December 15, 2020, endorsed the
Santa Clara County Community Plan to End Homelessness. The City of Cupertino’s (City)
process listed below addresses Strategy 3: Improve quality of life for unsheltered
individuals and create healthy neighborhoods for all. The City has received input from
the community regarding concerns of unhoused individuals living on Cupertino
property. Working to address these concerns as quickly and effectively as possible is
important to the City. There are many social and legal hurdles that must be considered
when working on these scenarios. Recent court cases have upheld the rights of unhoused
individuals to occupy public property if alternative housing options and certain levels of
support are not available to these individuals. These necessary services are not directly
provided by the City and therefore the City must engage with other entities to ensure
these services are available.
Many individuals experiencing homelessness simply need assistance to change their
unhoused situation. For this reason, the City of Cupertino has taken an approach that
focuses first on ensuring the well-being of the unhoused individuals, second on informing
the individuals of the assistance available to them, and third on assisting the individual
to a setting that can provide services. These steps require time to properly implement.
For emergency situations, call 911. To request a non-emergency welfare check, call 408-
299-2311.
The City’s Process for Assisting Unhoused Individuals:
1) To notify the City of unhoused individuals or encampments, submit a request
through Cupertino 311 app or www.cupertino.org/311.
2) City contacts County Office of Supporting Housing (OSH) who engages the
individual, offering available assistance services to them. In cases where
individual accepts services, the individual is typically taken to facilities where
assistance is provided.
3) City may request County Sheriff’s Office to engage with individual(s) and perform
a wellness check. For individuals needing immediate medical assistance, the
129
CC 10-15-2024
129 of 328
Sheriff’s Office will initiate emergency medical services. The Sheriff’s Office will
notify the City of its assessment.
4) Where individuals are not willing to immediately accept services, the City
continues to coordinate with OSH in additional outreach. OSH and non-profit
contractors work to build trust with the individual towards having the individual
accept the assistance available.
5) During the OSH outreach period, OSH provides the City with its assessment of its
efforts. If continued efforts do not result in the individual accepting assistance,
OSH provides the City with a determination that continued efforts will not result
in the individual relocating to assistive services.
6) City initiates an encampment resolution process. This process follows the steps
required to notice the encampment occupants of the City’s intent to dismantle the
encampment and to have the area cleared of any items that remain at the location.
The resolution process requires the City to work with OSH to secure available
shelter options for each individual at the location. Any items of apparent value
will be stored for up to 90 days. A posted notice at the location will provide
guidance to individuals on how to retrieve their belongings.
An encampment resolution is the final effort to have an encampment removed from City
property. This step typically results in individuals relocating to another site, whether a
sanctioned shelter or another unsanctioned location, and the site is cleaned up by City led
forces. If individuals relocate to another unsanctioned location, the City’s process steps
are reinitiated upon notification of the new encampment.
The City makes every effort to engage with unhoused individuals and to provide to them
the services available to help them off the streets. The encampment resolution phase is
considered a last resort as this typically does not result in the individual being assisted off
the street.
The process to prioritize outreach and engagement to build trust and rapport has shown
to be the most effective approach at helping unhoused individuals on a path to housing
and addressing the community’s concerns.

Santa Clara County Community Plan to End Homelessnes: 2020–2025 | 3
Introduction
Despite our progress creating a supportive housing system that assists thousands of homeless
individuals and families each year, the crisis continues to grow. The systemic factors driving
homelessness in our community— from the failed policies at the local, state, and national level
to the extreme lack of housing options that are affordable for low-income residents—remain
stronger than ever and are pushing more of our neighbors onto the streets every day.
These challenges have been compounded by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic that
arrived in our community as this plan was in development, making implementation of many of
these strategies even more urgent. This public health crisis has ground our local economy to a halt,
leaving many more households on the brink of homelessness due to job loss, lack of childcare,
and economic uncertainty. The pandemic has also required a massive and immediate response
by our crisis response system to quickly ramp up shelter capacity, increase access to hygiene
services for people living outside, and protect those people experiencing homelessness who
are particularly vulnerable. As a result, as this plan goes into effect, we anticipate there will be
many more people experiencing or at risk of homelessness who will need immediate support,
which will require our community to continue to be flexible and innovative in our responses to
homelessness.
To truly end homelessness in Santa Clara County, we must summon the collective will and
resources to not only respond to the current crisis and scale our successful housing strategies,
but also address and eliminate the root causes of homelessness in our community.

Our Homelessness Crisis
According to the 2019 Point-in-Time count, there are 9,706 individuals experiencing homelessness
on any given night in Santa Clara County.1 Families with children, seniors, individuals with
disabilities, veterans, youth and young adults are all represented in the county’s diverse homeless
population. More than 80% of these individuals are unsheltered—sleeping outside, in cars, or
other places not meant for human habitation. We expect that these numbers will increase over
the coming months as the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is felt.
The gap between the rich and the poor in our community, combined with the lack of housing
development particularly at the lowest income levels, is fueling the homelessness crisis. According
to the Public Policy Institute of California, families at the highest income levels in the Bay Area
(the 90th percentile) have more than 12 times the income of families at the bottom (the 10th
percentile).2 Those at the bottom rung of the economic ladder have also not shared in the
region’s significant economic growth. Between 2000 and 2015 in Santa Clara County, workers
with earnings in the 10th percentile saw their income decline by 12%.3
This income inequality has been further exacerbated by the economic slowdown caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic as many low-income households living paycheck-to-paycheck struggle to
make rent and pay for other basic needs.

Our Homelessness Crisis
In addition, longstanding and structural racial inequities continue to affect who becomes homeless
in our community. A recent report commissioned by Destination: Home found that people of
color are dramatically more likely than their white counterparts to become homeless in Santa
Clara County, and that poverty alone cannot explain disparities in homelessness. For example:
While the brunt of this crisis is borne by our unhoused neighbors, we know its impacts are felt
much more broadly. Our neighborhoods, first responders, businesses, and environment are also
suffering the consequences of our region’s severe homelessness crisis.
Even worse, the problem continues to grow as more people are slipping into homelessness
than ever before—the result of growing income inequality, gentrification and displacement,
rising housing costs, an extreme housing shortage, and a lack of sufficient safety net services to
adequately care for the most vulnerable in our community. In fact, for every homeless family or
individual we connect to housing, between two and three more are experiencing homelessness
for the very first time.
If this trend continues, in addition to the nearly 10,000 individuals currently experiencing
homelessness, another 20,000 are at-risk of falling into homelessness over the next five years—far
more than our supportive housing system currently has the capacity to serve.

Compounding the impacts of this inequality is the fact that housing costs are higher than ever
and housing that is affordable to the lowest-income families is not being produced. In fact, the
National Low-Income Housing Coalition’s most recent report, The Gap: A Shortage of Affordable
Homes, found that in 2018 there were only 34 affordable and available units for every 100
extremely low-income renter households in the San Jose metro area.4

Santa Clara County Community Plan to End Homelessnes: 2020–2025 | 7
Solving this crisis is one of the great moral challenges facing us. It will require tremen-
dous effort, new partnerships, and even bolder strategies—and it will require the entire
community to be a part of the solution.
We must take immediate actions that can improve the quality of life for the huge number
of unsheltered residents in our community. We must increase shelter capacity and increase
interim housing options, and we must expand services to meet their basic health and
safety needs.
We need to significantly scale our housing development and programs to meet the
growing need in our community. This includes building many thousands more supportive
housing units, expanding our homelessness prevention strategies, and enhancing the
way our supportive housing system serves those in need.
Most importantly, we will never end homelessness in our community if we do not attack
the systemic root causes that continually push more of our neighbors into homelessness.
As a result, we must address inequitable land use and housing policy to allow every
jurisdiction to achieve their Regional Housing Needs Allocation goals for very low and
extremely low-income housing production. We must ensure every resident who is able to
work can access living wage employment and we must reverse decades-long structural
inequities that have driven people of color and other vulnerable residents onto the streets.
None of this will be easy or cheap. In fact, just meeting the affordable housing needs
of our community would require several billion dollars. But we cannot accept a future
in which thousands of our neighbors are forced to live outside. Every member of our
community deserves a safe and stable home—and it is our collective responsibility to
make this vision a reality.
Ending Homelessness
in Santa Clara County
As we implement the strategies in this plan, we will raise
the voices of people with lived experience and share power
with our unhoused and recently-housed neighbors. We will
focus on policies and programs that reduce racial inequity,
in an effort to reverse the disproportionately high rates of
people of color who are unhoused.

Our Plan
The 2020–2025 Community Plan to End Homelessness will serve as our
roadmap for ending homelessness in Santa Clara County and is organized
around three main strategies:
Our Plan
The strategies included in this plan are grounded in evidence-based practices, lessons learned
over the past five years, and robust conversation and input from more than 8,000 members of
our community; including people with lived experience of homelessness, subject matter experts,
key stakeholders, and community members.
In addition, this plan sets aggressive targets designed to reverse the current growth in home-
lessness we are experiencing and bring us one step closer to our collective goal of eliminating
homelessness in our community.
Address the root causes of homelessness through system and policy change
Expand homelessness prevention and housing programs to meet the need
Improve quality of life for unsheltered individuals and create healthy neighborhoods for all

Our Targets
*The reduction in annual inflow target was based on annual inflow prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This target will be reevaluated once the longer term impacts of COVID-19 are known.
By 2025, we will:
Achieve a 30% reduction in annual
inflow of people becoming homeless*
Expand the Homelessness Prevention System
and other early interventions to serve 2,500 people per year
House 20,000 people through
the supportive housing system
Double temporary housing and shelter capacity to
reduce the number of people sleeping outside
Address the racial inequities present among
unhoused people and families and track progress toward
reducing disparities

To end homelessness in our community, we must address its root causes. This plan sets a five-year
goal of reducing new unhoused individuals and families in a given year by 30%. The strategies below
are targeted to address the entrenched economic and societal causes of homelessness through
transformational systemic and policy change. The system we live in has created social, economic,
and racial disparities and it will take monumental shifts in policies and priorities to make effective
change. While eliminating these disparities across our community will take more than the five years
covered by this plan, we can make substantial progress towards this important goal by implementing
the strategies below.

While Strategy 1 aims to close the gaps in our social safety net and address the other systemic
causes of homelessness, we know that there will be some people over the next five years who will
still become unhoused due to a severe shortage of affordable and accessible housing. To end
homelessness, we will need to continue to build capacity to provide a broad array of housing and
services over the next five years.
The Strategies
STRATEGY 2
Expand Homelessness Prevention and
Housing Programs to Meet the Need
Increase the capacity of supportive housing
programs for people experiencing homelessness. 1
Expand the supportive housing system to provide housing
and services to help 20,000 unhoused people secure stable,
permanent housing. Expansion would target the following:
• 7,000 people housed in Permanent Supportive Housing
programs that provide long-term support.
• 10,000 people housed through Rapid Rehousing
programs that provide short- and medium-term support.
• 3,000 people housed through Housing Problem Solving
and other short-term or one-time assistance.
Develop programs tailored to the
needs of specific populations of people
experiencing homelessness, including:
• Youth and young adults
• Older adults (55+) and seniors
• Families with children
• Adults (ages 25 to 54) without children
A B
Provide a broad range of supports
to prevent homelessness.2
Expand the Homelessness Prevention System to prevent
homelessness for an additional 7,000 households who are at risk
by providing targeted financial assistance and supportive services.
Provide targeted financial resources to prevent
homelessness and eviction for severely rent-
burdened residents living in existing affordable units.
A B
Create a state-of-the-art
supportive housing system.3
Center the voices of people
who have lived experience
of homelessness, especially
people of color, in the
policy and program design
decisions of the supportive
housing system.
Increase access
to supportive
housing programs
for people of color
by addressing
racial bias in our
system.
Invest in professional
development and
competitive pay to
attract and retain
a highly qualified
workforce of homeless
service provider staff.
Incentivize hiring of
people who have
lived experience of
homelessness to reflect
the client population—
especially people of color
and LGBTQI+ persons.

14 | Santa Clara County Community Plan to End Homelessnes: 2020–2025
The first two strategies of the plan seek to end and prevent homelessness for as many people as possible
over the next five years. However, the reality is that many people will remain unhoused due to an extreme
housing crisis and increasing income inequality. To address this immediate crisis in our community and
ensure healthy neighborhoods for all, we must begin by doubling our temporary housing and shelter
capacity to serve 2,000 additional households each night and increase investment in health, safety and other
basic services to better meet the needs of people living in unsheltered conditions and build connections to
housing programs and safety net services offered throughout the county.
STRATEGY 3
Improve Quality of Life for Unsheltered Individuals
and Create Healthy Neighborhoods for All
Double the number of year-round temporary housing beds and offer a
variety of welcoming temporary housing options throughout the county.1
Build new partnerships to host emergency
shelter, safe places to park and access services,
and sanctioned encampments that are not swept
and include hygiene and supportive services.
Ensure that all families with children under 18
years old who are unhoused have access to
emergency shelter or temporary housing.
Provide opportunities
for people who have
lived experience of
homelessness to provide
peer-to-peer support.
Reduce barriers to shelter such as allowing
for pets, storage of personal items,
greater privacy, longer stays, and provide
higher levels of safety for residents.
Provide more public services in
neighborhoods hosting emergency
shelter or temporary housing programs.
Expand hours at
new and existing
shelters to remain
open during the day.
Increase the number of
street outreach staff and
case managers working
in encampments.

other transportation options
for people who are unhoused
to access services.

substance use services.3
Increase the number of mobile
crisis teams with clinical staff,
and expand their hours, to
support individuals experiencing
severe mental health and
substance use crises.
Develop a plan to
eliminate service access
and treatment gaps
for unsheltered people
struggling with chronic
and severe mental illness.
Increase the number
of beds available for
substance use treatment
and provide the follow-up
supportive services needed
to prevent relapses.
Increase access to
mental health treat-
ment for people
who are unhoused
and struggling with

• Share data across safety net, criminal justice, and housing
systems to better predict and target households who are
experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.
• Better utilize data collected in the homeless system of care
and across County departments to know what is working
well, what programs need improvement, and to identify
inequities in the system.
• Provide demographic data, including race and ethnicity,
in all reports on homelessness to highlight and address
inequities.
• Create accessible dashboards that show our progress and
hold our systems accountable.
• Provide trauma-informed care and racial equity/anti-racism
training to all staff working with people experiencing
homelessness.
• Increase access to services, including providing system
navigation resources and training to all staff working with
people experiencing homelessness.
• Align racial equity work in the homelessness sector with
other racial equity initiatives in Santa Clara County.
• Expand partnerships with corporations, philanthropic
institutions, and individual donors to secure private funding
to reduce and prevent homelessness.
• Align and coordinate with other community efforts to
address homelessness, such as the Homelessness Task
Force.
Process Improvements Across Strategies 1, 2, and 3
Throughout our work, we must continue to expand coordination between systems, increase the use of data
to improve programs, and increase training opportunities for all partners, including:

in encampments to
ensure consistent and
humane approaches to
encampment resolution.

where unhoused
residents can access
information and services,
such as available
temporary housing and
homeless services.

SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
The systemic factors driving homelessness are stron-
ger than ever, and forcing more of our community
members onto the streets and into shelters every day.
The 2020-2025 Community Plan to End Homelessness
guides our community’s collective work to reverse the
current growth in homelessness and bring us closer
to our goal of ending homelessness in Santa Clara
County. We are forging new partnerships, changing
systems, and investing strategically to accomplish
meaningful progress, however, we must continue to
scale up these effective solutions to reduce overall
homelessness in our community. To learn more visit

KEY INITIATIVES
BUILDING MORE
PERMANENTLY
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Our community is aligning public
resources — like the Measure A
housing bond, Housing Authority
vouchers and San Jose’s Measure E
transfer tax — and private funds from
partners such as Cisco and Apple,
to spur 56 deeply affordable and
supportive housing developments.
ENDING FAMILY
HOMELESSNESS
In 20 21, partners launched the
HEADING HOME campaign to end
family homelessness. Leveraging
federal emergency housing vouchers
and other resources, the campaign
has enrolled all eligible families with
children in a housing program.
PREVENTING
HOMELESSNESS
Launched as a pilot seven years ago, a
broad public-private partnership has
expa nded the countywide Home-
lessness Prevention System to serve
more than 2,500 households a year,
by providing at-risk households with
relatively small amounts of money and
key support services.
DEPLOYING NEW
SHELTER MODELS
Local jurisdictions are embracing
new emergency and interim shelter
models - like modular developments,
tiny homes and hotel conversions - to
quickly provide dignified shelter for
people on their path to permanent
housing. Hundreds of additional units
are in development.

ACTION CALENDAR
September 10, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Councilmember Rashi Kesarwani (Author) and Councilmember Susan
Wengraf (Co-Sponsor)
SUBJECT: Encampment Policy Resolution to Promote Healthy and Safe
Neighborhoods and Related First Reading of Ordinance Amending
Chapter 14.48 of the Berkeley Municipal Code
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution affirming that the City of Berkeley will continue to offer interim housing
(i.e., a shelter offer, with a preference for non-congregate options) when closing
encampments, in accordance with the City’s existing “Housing First” approach1 and best
practices guidance from the federal government. In order to account for nuanced health
and safety situations, the resolution allows for six specific exceptions to this practice,
based on City staff experience.
Offering shelter and housing to homeless individuals is considered a best practice,
according to the United States Interagency Council on Addressing Homelessness.2 It will
continue to be the City’s practice to make shelter offers whenever practicable and to
invest in more shelter options. However, in the event that the City cannot make a shelter
offer, then the City Manager is nonetheless authorized to enforce, including the use of
citation and arrest, only under the following circumstances:
●The Fire Department has determined that an encampment poses a fire hazard or
emergency condition as referenced in the Berkeley Fire Code, Berkeley Municipal
Code (BMC) Chapter 19.48; or
●The Environmental Health Division of the Health, Housing and Community
Services Department has determined that the encampment poses an imminent
health hazard as defined in BMC section 11.36.030; or

●The City has determined that a situation constitutes a public nuisance as defined
in the BMC and is subject to an abatement pursuant to the BMC; or
●The encampment is located on a City street median, in the roadway, or otherwise
in dangerous proximity to traffic pursuant to BMC section 14.32.040; or
●The encampment is located in an area where the City has authorized work (such
as for construction, major or minor encroachments, etc.) pursuant to BMC section
13.36.045; or
●The encampment interferes with or impedes city or utility companies’ construction
or maintenance activities in the public right-of-way, street lighting installation or
repair, street tree maintenance, or utilities maintenance or repair.
The City Manager is authorized to take enforcement actions to deter re-encampment
(after clearing an encampment involving any of the six instances enumerated above)
through such means as hardscaping; signage that references state Penal Code Section
647(e)3; or citation and arrest, even if a shelter offer cannot be made.
Adopt revisions to BMC Chapter 14.48 (Ordinance No. 7632) on miscellaneous use of
streets and sidewalks to delete portions of 14.48.020, 14.48.120A and 14.48.120B in
order to give the City Manager authority to make conforming changes to Administrative
Regulation 10.2 to effectuate the above-stated encampment policy. Administrative
Regulation 10.2 Regulating Temporary Non-Commercial Objects on Sidewalks and In
Parklets Pursuant to BMC 14.48.120 is to be revised by the City Manager to enable
enforcement of temporary non-commercial objects of less than nine-square-feet within
less than 24 hours in a designated public area marked with signage to deter re-
encampment.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
Federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Legal Decision in Martin v. City of Boise
(2018) Has Guided City’s Encampment Approach to Always Offer Shelter In All
Circumstances Prior to Encampment Closure. In 2018, the Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeals, with jurisdiction over California, ruled that “as long as there is no option of
sleeping indoors, the government cannot criminalize indigent, homeless people for
sleeping outdoors, on public property, on the false premise they had a choice in the
matter.”4 In practice, the Martin decision meant that the City of Berkeley was prevented
from closing encampments—even when deemed a health and safety hazard—without
offers of shelter, constituting an Eighth Amendment violation against cruel and unusual
punishment. Due to limited shelter options and movement among unsheltered
individuals, certain encampments have persisted, such as the encampments along the
Harrison Corridor (between Ninth and Seventh streets and north of Harrison on Eighth
Street), and the encampments in the Cedar and Second Street area (Second Street
3 Penal Code Section 647(e) states: “Except as provided in paragraph (5) of subdivision (b) and

between Cedar and Page, Cedar from Eastshore Highway to Fourth, and on Page and
Jones Streets west of Fourth).
Supreme Court Decision in Grants Pass v. Johnson (2024) Removes Shelter Offer
Requirement, And Further Allows Local Jurisdictions to Ban Camping in Public
Spaces. On June 28, 2024, the Supreme Court overruled the Ninth Circuit’s Martin v.
Boise ruling in their 6-3 decision in Grants Pass v. Johnson. In this decision, the Court
ruled that applying anti-camping ordinances to homeless individuals, as had been done
in the town of Grants Pass, Oregon, was not a violation of the Eighth Amendment’s
prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment. The Court removed the requirement to offer
shelter before closing an encampment.5 The ruling gives cities like Berkeley greater
authority to set encampment policy for nuanced health and safety situations.
Significantly, the Supreme Court Decision in Grants Pass Does Not Impact the
City’s Requirements Related to the Fourth, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. The
City must still abide by the Fourth Amendment protecting individuals against
unreasonable search and seizure, the Fifth Amendment guaranteeing due process and
the Fourteenth Amendment guaranteeing equal protection under the law. The City’s
administrative regulations pertaining to regulating temporary non-commercial objects on
the sidewalks (AR 10.1) and the temporary storage of unattended property (AR 10.2)
ensure compliance with these Constitutional law requirements.
BACKGROUND
Housing First Is a Best Practice, With City of Berkeley Opening Hope Center, Two
Homekey Sites, and Two Transitional Housing Motels Within the Last Three Years .
. . Housing First is an approach to serving people experiencing homelessness that
recognizes a homeless person must first be able to access a decent, safe place to live
before stabilizing, improving health, reducing harmful behaviors, or increasing income,
according to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).6
In 2018, Berkeley voters approved an increase to the real estate transfer tax for the top
third of real estate transactions to augment General Fund resources available for
homeless services, known as Measure P. These funds, along with state encampment
resolution funds, have supported the leasing of two motels:
●The Berkeley Inn operated by Dorothy Day House provides 25 rooms, as
well as meals, supportive services, and housing navigation services;
●Campus Hotel (formerly Super 8) operated by Insight Housing provides 23
rooms, as well as meals, supportive services, and housing navigation services
with homeless individuals at the Harrison Corridor encampment granted first
priority for these rooms;
●The Hope Center (2012 Berkeley Way) operated by Insight Housing
provides a congregate emergency shelter with 32 beds and 12 transitional

housing beds for veterans. The Hope Center was funded by various local7,
state, and federal sources.
The offer of motel rooms has dramatically increased the City’s shelter acceptance rate—
from 43 percent to 79 percent—among unsheltered people living in encampments.8
Measure P funds have also been used as local match funding for two permanent
supportive housing sites that have received state funding via the Homekey program, the
statewide program to expand and fund housing opportunities for people experiencing
homelessness.9
●The Rodeway Inn operated by Housing Consortium of the East Bay
provides 42 permanent supportive housing units funded in part by the state
Homekey program, including meals and supportive services;
●Golden Bear Homes operated by Bay Area Community Services provides 43
permanent supportive housing units funded in part by the state Homekey
program, including on-site property management, case management, and
supportive services.
●The Hope Center, funded by various local10, state, and federal sources, is
operated by Insight Housing and provides 53 permanent supportive
housing units, as well as meals, physical and mental health care, and case
management.
The City is poised to add an additional 39 units of permanent supportive housing in the
near future via the Step-Up Housing site currently in construction at 1367 University
Avenue to be operated by Building Opportunities for Self Sufficiency (BOSS). Further, a
$53 million local funding reservation from the Measure O affordable housing bond has
been made for the North Berkeley and Ashby developments, with the first 100 percent
affordable building at the North Berkeley site likely to break ground next year. The City
Council has also acted to place Measure W on the November 2024 ballot to authorize a
renewal and graduated increase in the Measure P real estate transfer tax for voter
consideration to continue to ensure resources are available for future investments in
permanent housing, interim housing, and homelessness prevention.
. . . Permanent and Interim Housing Placements Have Coincided with a Dramatic
45 Percent Reduction in the Count of Unsheltered Individuals, according to the
2024 Point-In-Time Homeless Count. Between 2022 and 2024, the City saw a 45
percent reduction in street homelessness corresponding with a 54 percent increase in
sheltered homelessness. Overall, the City of Berkeley experienced a 21 percent

reduction in homelessness, compared to just a 3 percent reduction in Alameda County.11
From 2015 through 2019, prior to enhanced local investment associated with Measure P,
the City’s homeless count increased by 33 percent, as shown in Figure 1 (834 individuals
in 2015 compared to 1,108 individuals in 2019). In 2024, with the addition of transitional
motels, Homekey permanent supportive housing sites, and the Hope Center, the City of
Berkeley experienced a dramatic 21 percent reduction in overall homelessness—far
higher than the 3 percent reduction experienced by Alameda County overall.

Count (https://everyonehome.org/main/continuum-of-care/point-in-time-count-2024/)
The West Berkeley Encampments at (1) the Harrison Corridor (Between Ninth and
Seventh Streets, Including Eighth Street north of Harrison), and (2) the Second and
Cedar Area (Second between Cedar and Page, Cedar from Eastshore Highway to
Fourth, and on Page and Jones Streets west of Fourth)12 are the Most Persistent
and Hazardous in the City, With Documented Impacts Since 2019. Despite
significant reductions in the number of people who are homeless in Berkeley, a total of
about 445 individuals continue to experience unsheltered homelessness, according to
the 2024 point-in-time count. These individuals are largely in West Berkeley, with
significant health and safety impacts in the Harrison Corridor, including dead animals,
open food sources and spoiled food, used uncapped drug needles, combustible
materials like flammable gas containers inside unsafe wooden structures, bottles of
urine, human feces, animal feces, soiled clothing and sheltering material, and other
unidentifiable liquid and waste products, according to an August 2023 off-agenda memo
from the City Manager.13 Additionally, a large accumulation of bulky objects and
sheltering structures completely block the sidewalk in several areas and extend into the
roadway, creating numerous fire and traffic safety hazards. Since the Homelessness
Response Team was established in 2021, City staff have documented 16 environmental

health abatements city-wide, with nine of those abatements occurring in the Harrison
encampment and Cedar/Second Street area encampments.
Calls for Service and Fire-Related Incidents Associated with the Harrison Corridor
are Elevated Compared to a Similar Area South of Gilman, Averaging One Police
Call Every 1.5 Days and One Fire Service Call Every 4.5 Days. Call data underscores
the intensive level of emergency response resources associated with the Harrison
Corridor encampments. On average, BPD is called for service every day-and-a-half and
Fire is called every four-and-a-half days. For the one-year period from August 2023
through July 2024, a total of 252 calls for police service were received by dispatch from
the Harrison Corridor area. Of those calls, 45 percent were deemed high priority (either
priority one or two on a nine-point scale, with one reflecting the highest level of urgency
and nine reflecting the least). Berkeley’s Fire Department received a total of 78 calls for
service during the same one-year timeframe; of those, 60 calls were for fire-related
incidents, and 18 were for emergency medical services. For comparison, the same-sized
area just south of Gilman Street (bounded by Seventh and Ninth Streets and Gilman to
Camelia) had 152 calls for service over the same time period (100 fewer calls), and the
percentage of high priority calls (levels one and two) was also less (32 percent versus 45
percent for the Harrison Corridor).14 Like the Harrison Corridor, the area south of Gilman
is zoned Mixed Use Light Industrial and has significant numbers of RVs and other
vehicles being used for habitation on the streets; however, the area does not have
encampments similar to those in the Harrison Corridor.

Similar Health and Safety Concerns Persist at Second and Cedar Area. The
encampments in the area of Second and Cedar (Second between Cedar and Page,
Cedar from Eastshore Highway to Fourth, and on Page and Jones Streets west of
Fourth) have been equally challenging, staff intensive, unhealthy, and unsafe. From
December 2021 through January 2024, the City’s operations at these encampments
have included six deep cleaning efforts entailing:
●Removal of large accumulations of debris and trash from the public right-of-way;

●Removal of hazardous materials including syringes, human waste, rotting food,
and soiled clothing and bedding;
●Removal of unsafe unpermitted structures;
●Treatment of rat harborages;
●Decontamination of City’s stormwater drainage system.16
Calls for Service and Fire-Related Incidents for Second and Cedar Street Area are
Comparable to Harrison Corridor, Averaging One Police Call Every 1.5 Days and
One Fire Service Call Every 4.5 Days. In 2023, calls for service to both BPD and
Berkeley Fire were as high, and in some cases higher, in the Cedar and Second Street
area compared to the Harrison Corridor. In a document prepared for the state’s
Encampment Resolution Fund-3 grant application, BPD noted: In 2023, calls for service
jumped to 247 from 169 (+46 percent) from the previous year, and reported crimes rose
to 69 from 60 (+15 percent). Commercial burglary was the most prevalent crime type,
with 27 incidents reported. The data suggest a worsening safety situation, particularly
around the Second Street encampments.17 Conditions in this area continue to deteriorate
to this day. In the seven-month period from January 2024 through July 2024, there were
a total of 234 police service calls, just shy of the 247 calls made for the entire 2023
calendar year. The total of 234 calls over a seven-month period is slightly more than one
call per day, exceeding calls for service for the Harrison Corridor. Berkeley Fire noted at
least 20 fires associated with the Cedar and Second encampment area in 2023 with one
becoming a two-alarm fire requiring mutual aid. A total of seven different fire code
violations have been associated with these encampments and include code violations
related to outdoor storage of combustible materials, insufficient clearance from ignition
sources, deliberate and/or negligent burning of combustible materials, unwanted fire
ignitions, obstructed access to and insufficient clearance of fire hydrants.18

City Has Made Significant Investment to Offer Shelter and Abate Hazards at
Harrison Corridor Encampments . . . The City has a long history of providing a wide
range of services for the residents of the Harrison Corridor encampments, including 107
shelter offers, with a 53 percent uptake rate. In February 2022, Alameda County Winter
Shelter 28-day motel vouchers were provided to all individuals and included an 83
percent uptake rate, and three other partial closures for deep cleaning have occurred
since that time. City staff conducted the following activities through August 31, 2023:
●Case Management and Engagement. Weekly by-name case conferences
hosted by the Homeless Response Team and attended by relevant city and
county agencies20; three community meetings (in May and July 2023) among City
staff, residents, and advocates of the encampment to discuss resources and
safety.”21
●Abating Rodent Harborage Conditions. Major nuisance abatement of rodent
harborage conditions in October 2022 and subsequent multiple targeted
treatments of the extensive network of rodent burrows by the City’s
Environmental Health Division of the Health, Housing and Community Services
Department; provision on numerous occasions of new tents and Sterilite tubs to
help maintain cleaner and more rodent-proof conditions;
●Deep Cleanings and Trash Removal. Nine deep cleanings removing a total of
124.9 tons (249,800 pounds) of debris; placement of a dumpster on Eighth Street
in April 2022 with service four times weekly, addition of a second dumpster on
Seventh and Harrison in August 2023 also serviced four times weekly, and
weekly illegal dumping removal service by the City’s Public Works Department;
●Basic Sanitation, including Portapotties, Handwashing Station, Weekly
Showers and Laundry Services. Placement of two portapotties with wash
station located at the corner of Eighth and Harrison Streets, serviced regularly;
weekly free mobile shower and laundry service since June 2022.
City Offered All 23 Rooms at Campus Hotel (formerly Super 8) to Homeless
Individuals Residing in the Harrison Corridor . . . In June 2023, the City of Berkeley
was awarded $4.9M from the state’s Encampment Resolution Fund-2 grant program,
which is currently being used to master lease the Campus Hotel (formerly Super 8)
located at 1619 University Avenue. The transitional housing site is operated by Insight
Housing, and includes meals, supportive services, and housing navigation services.
Unsheltered individuals residing in the Harrison Corridor were given priority for this site,
with 34 people accessing the site to date and 18 individuals remaining from the Harrison
Corridor, according to City staff.
20 Agencies include: Alameda County Healthcare for the Homeless; Berkeley’s Health, Housing and
Community Services Department; Homeless Action Center; Bay Area Community Services (BACS);
LifeLong Medical Care; East Bay Community Law Center; Options Recovery Services; Berkeley
Mental Health; and Building Opportunities for Self-Sufficiency (BOSS). Alameda County’s Street
Medicine Teams also had an intensive presence at the encampments accompanied by multiple other
service providers including the homeless advocacy group Where Do We Go Berkeley; Consider the
Homeless, which provides meals; and Berkeley Needle Exchange, which provides clean needles and
substance use services.

. . . But Hazardous Harrison Corridor Encampments Continue to Persist. In a City
Manager Feb. 20, 2024 off-agenda memo, staff wrote: “Despite having non-congregate
shelter beds dedicated to this encampment, nearly every effort that the City has made to
resolve portions of the encampment have been met with significant opposition and/or
legal challenges.”22 Between August 2023 through December 2023, the City tried on four
separate occasions to resolve encampments in the Harrison corridor in accordance with
pending construction and maintenance projects and formally declaring the area as an
imminent hazard resulting in an order for a summary abatement on the basis of public
health and safety hazards but legal entanglements kept this from happening. During
each of these efforts, offers of non-congregate shelter at the Campus Hotel and other
available transitional housing at hotel sites preceded attempts to close and clean the
encampment areas. In November 2023, the City installed temporary fencing designating
the area a pending construction zone to repair and maintain City infrastructure, including
sidewalks and street trees, but the fencing was soon breached and the area was re-
encamped quickly.
To address the encampments in the Cedar and Second Street area, this past spring the
City applied for another state Encampment Resolution Funds grant with the intent to
master lease another motel for conversion to transitional housing for homeless
individuals. As in the past, the City committed to matching any incoming dollars using
Measure P funds. This potential new site would provide housing for another 26
individuals, have on-site services, meals, and housing navigation services. All of the
rooms are intended to be prioritized for those living in the encampments in the Cedar
and Second Street area.
Presence Of Encampments Yielding a High Rate of Police and Fire Calls for
Service Impacts Safety of Nearby Residents, Workers, and Visitors and Is
Detrimental to Business Operations. For many years, the District 1 Council office has
received e-mail complaints about the hazardous street conditions in the Harrison
Corridor and the Cedar and Second Street encampments areas. The Harrison Corridor is
home to an electric range of businesses and organizations, including Fieldwork Brewing,
Boichick Bagels bakery and storefront, Urban Adamah (a Jewish urban farm with
programming for children and families), Harrison Skate Park and sports fields, Berkeley
Repertory Theater Administrative Offices, Wilderness Travel Tour Agency, The Tile
Shop, Blue Willow Teaspot, East Bay Tow Company, The Plant Library, United States
Federal Detached Del Unit Post Office, Covenant Winery, Makers Workspace, Griffin
Motorwerke and other automotive businesses, and several architecture and landscaping
offices. The Cedar and Second Street area is home to manufacturing companies
creating in-ground and above ground traffic detection systems, energy gels for
endurance athletes, and AI-powered robotics. Industrial businesses in that area include
construction companies, large equipment rentals, paper shredding, computer
technology, glass installation, cutlery sharpening services, and automotive businesses.
Other businesses, such as landscaping, automotive companies and an active travel tour

company are also located in this area as are single family-homes and residences,
starting on Fourth Street. Communications from residents, visitors, and workers in these
two areas describe hazards and concerning interactions and behaviors, such as:
●Traffic and Pedestrian Safety. Tents and bulky structures protruding into lanes
of traffic; and complete blockage of sidewalks on both sides of the street.
●Pest Control Issues. In July 2022, an organization in close proximity to the
Harrison encampment reported rats in their buildings, and a considerable amount
of resources expended in addressing pest control issues. The rats also climb into
the parked cars and chew on the wiring causing thousands of dollars of damage
to people’s cars.
●Fire-Related Concerns. In July 2024, a constituent reported a big dumpster fire
that “spewed all kinds of toxic chemicals into the air,” settling onto their property
where the operators were conducting outdoor summer programs. In May 2024,
two fires in the Cedar and Second Street areas were classified as arson,
according to Fire Chief David Sprague.23
Anecdotal Reports Describe Assaults and Other Dangerous Conditions. Residents
and employees near the Harrison Corridor and Second and Cedar Street encampments
report being chased, yelled at and threatened by encampment residents. One local
business, right at the northeast corner of Ninth and Harrison, is familiar with all of the
encampment residents due its location. One employee shared in 2022 that their security
camera caught on film instances of vandalism: the same individual, an encampment
resident at the time, was seen kicking side mirrors off nearby parked cars repeatedly
over several days. One employee going to her 4 a.m. shift was robbed at gunpoint when
coming to work (2020) while a business owner relayed how a customer was attacked by
two people when driving down Eighth just north of Harrison: one stood in front of the car
to block it while the other attempted to pull the woman out of her vehicle (2022). In 2021
the office received an email from a Berkeley based business outside of the Gilman
District trying to make a delivery to a business at Ninth and Harrison:
“Yesterday, my driver told me that the guy threw a bottle of urine on our truck, then threw
rocks, and lumber trying to break our windows of the truck. Only after my driver had to show
some force and not back down (along with another homeless person helping my driver), did
the occupant of the pictured tent leave and allow my driver to do his job.”
More recently neighbors in the Cedar and Second Street encampment area wrote with a list
of troubling behaviors they had recently witnessed:
●“Barely clothed woman, clearly impaired by drugs, exiting an RV on Cedar between railroad
tracks and 4th street.
●Human feces just about anywhere you dare to look.
●Needles on sidewalks and in grass and bushes.
●Drug dealing.
●Infighting among the un-housed people, many times resulting in retaliatory arson.
●Trespassing
●A stabbing.”

The above examples represent a small fraction of the myriad stories shared with the District
1 Council office. For years, stakeholders in these two areas of West Berkeley have lived and
worked alongside a host of dangerous public health and safety hazards.
FISCAL IMPACT
It is expected that implementation of this encampment policy will result in no net change
in staff time.

RESOLUTION NO. ##,###-N.S.
Encampment Policy Resolution to Promote Healthy and Safe Neighborhoods
WHEREAS, offering shelter and housing to homeless individuals is considered a best
practice, according to the United States Interagency Council on Addressing Homelessness;
and
WHEREAS, the City of Berkeley expresses its continued commitment to a Housing First
approach, in which we recognize that people experiencing homelessness must first be able
to access a decent, safe place to live before stabilizing, improving health, reducing harmful
behaviors, or increasing income; and
WHEREAS, in 2018, Berkeley voters approved an increase in the real estate transfer tax for
the top third of real estate transactions to augment General Fund resources available for
homeless services, known as Measure P, which has helped to fund transitional housing
motels Berkeley Inn and Campus Hotel (formerly Super 8) and permanent supportive
housing sites Golden Bear Homes, The Rodeway Inn, and Step-Up Housing (under
construction), and will be considered by the voters for extension in November 2024 as
Measure W; and
WHEREAS, from 2022 to 2024, the City saw a dramatic 45 percent reduction in street
homelessness corresponding with a 54 percent increase in sheltered homelessness, and an
overall 21 percent reduction in homelessness, illustrating that the provision of transitional
and permanent supportive housing can successfully reduce overall homelessness; and
WHEREAS, in 2018, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in Martin v. City of Boise that
“as long as there is no option of sleeping indoors, the government cannot criminalize
indigent, homeless people for sleeping outdoors, on public property,” which required the City
of Berkeley to make a shelter offer in all circumstances; and
WHEREAS, the recent Supreme Court decision in Grants Pass v. Johnson overturns the
Martin standard, thus giving cities like Berkeley the authority to set a more nuanced
encampment policy that considers exigent circumstances of fire, health, and nuisance
abatement pursuant to the Berkeley Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, certain encampments have persisted, such as the encampments in the Harrison
Corridor (between Ninth and Seventh Streets and Eighth Street north of Harrison), and the
Second and Cedar Area (Cedar between Eastshore and Fourth, and Second between Page
and Cedar and on Page and Jones west of Fourth), despite documented fire, environmental
health, and nuisance hazards as defined in the Berkeley Municipal Code and ongoing
exhaustive City staff efforts to offer shelter when available and abate hazards; and
WHEREAS, City staff have provided extensive services for individuals sheltering in the

and trash removal four times per week, and basic sanitation services including portapotties,
a handwashing station, weekly showers, and laundry services; and
WHEREAS, calls for Berkeley Police and Fire service are exceedingly high at both
encampment areas with Berkeley Police calls for service at the Harrison encampment
during 12 months (August 1, 2023 - July 31, 2024) totaling 252 and at Cedar and Second
Streets encampment totaling 369—on average one call every day to day-and-a-half—
and calls for Berkeley Fire service totaling 78 and 81, for each encampment respectively,
during that same timeframe, with safety impacts for nearby residents, workers, and
visitors and detrimental impacts on business operations.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Berkeley will continue to offer
interim housing (generally a shelter offer, with a preference for non-congregate options)
when closing encampments, in accordance with the City’s existing “Housing First”
approach and best practices guidance from the federal government;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, in the event that the City cannot make a shelter offer,
then the City Manager is nonetheless authorized to enforce, including the use of citation
and arrest, only under the following circumstances:
●The Fire Department has determined that an encampment poses a fire hazard or
emergency condition as referenced in the Berkeley Fire Code, BMC Chapter
19.48; or
●The Environmental Health Division of the Health, Housing and Community
Services Department has determined that the encampment poses an imminent
health hazard as defined in BMC section 11.36.030; or
●The City has determined that a situation constitutes a public nuisance as defined
in the BMC and is subject to an abatement pursuant to the BMC; or
●The encampment is located on a City street median, in the roadway, or otherwise
in dangerous proximity to traffic pursuant to BMC section 14.32.040; or
●The encampment is located in an area where the City has authorized work (such
as for construction, major or minor encroachments, etc.) pursuant to BMC section
13.36.045; or
●The encampment interferes with or impedes city or utility companies’ construction
or maintenance activities in the public right-of-way, street lighting installation or
repair, street tree maintenance, or utilities maintenance or repair.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the City Manager is authorized to take enforcement
actions to deter re-encampment (after clearing an encampment involving any of the six
instances enumerated above) through such means as hardscaping; signage that
references state Penal Code Section 647(e); or citation and arrest, even if a shelter offer
cannot be made.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council determines that the Harrison
Corridor (Harrison Street between Ninth and Seventh Streets, including Eighth Street
north of Harrison) and the Second and Cedar area (Second Street between Cedar and
Page, Cedar from Eastshore Highway to Fourth, and on Page and Jones Streets west of
Fourth) meet all six health and safety exceptions as proscribed by the above-stated
policy and should therefore be prioritized for enforcement.

and/or Public Works staff.
To further implement BMC§§ 14.48.120(C) and (D), the City hereby adopts the following
procedures:
1.If TNC Objects or Cushioning Material are located within the Path of Travel or in a BART
Access Corridor, they must be immediately moved out of the Path of Travel or BART
Access Corridor by their owner upon request of the enforcement officer. Should TNC
objects not be immediately moved, such objects can be removed and stored by the City
pursuant to BMC § 14.48.160 and Administrative Regulation 10.1, and/or a citation may
be issued.
2.For TNC Objects or accumulations of TNC Objects, enforcement of this Regulation shall
be a low priority, except when:
•TNC Objects have been in the same approximate location for 24 hours or more,
Page 36 of 127
193
CC 10-15-2024
193 of 328
A.R. NUMBER: 10.2 PAGE 4 of 4 PAGES
•More than two accumulations of TNC Objects occupy a single blockface, or
•TNC Objects pose a significant risk to health or safety.
•Within 600 feet of a K-12 public or private school with 25 or more students
located in a residential district.
Enforcement officers may:
•Request that TNC Objects be reduced to a 9-square-foot footprint (measured as

ADDENDUM TO ADMINSTRATIVE REGULATION 10.2
In addition to the requirements in Administrative Regulation 10.2, this addendum to
Administrative Rule ("AR") 10.2 clarifies an ambiguity in the enforcement provisions therein. AR
10.2 Section D provides: " ... enforcement of TNC Objects may be initiated by Code
Enforcement and/or Public Works staff." While the Berkeley Police Department is not
mentioned in this enforcement provision, it is not specifically excluded either, and has
independent authority to enforce BMC 14.48.020. Other City staff either do not have the
authority to issue an infraction citation or do not have the requisite training and experience to do
so. Therefore, police officers will also will be needed to help enforce BMC
14.48.020/14.48.120.
In light of the above, clarification is needed that police officers are authorized to
help enforce BMC 14.48.020 / 14.48.120 with respect to TNC objects unlawfully placed on
sidewalks. As such, a police officer is authorized to:
•Contact the occupant of a tent or other improvised structure erected on a sidewalk
during the day and evening (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.), warn the person of the violation
of BMC 14.48.020 / 14.48.120, and tell the person to take down the tent/improvised
structure.
•If the person does not comply, the officer may issue an infraction citation.
•The officer may also issue a Notice to the person or post a Notice on the tent/improvised
structure advising that if the tent or structure is not removed from the sidewalk within 24
hours, it will be removed from the sidewalk pursuant to BMC 14.48.160 and handled in
accordance with AR. 10.1 at the Corp Yard.
•In no instance will pitched tents/improvised structures be allowed to remain in the Path
of Travel on the sidewalk. An officer may move such a tent/structure out of the Path of
Travel immediately.
As stated in BMC 14.48.020 and AR 10.2, the word sidewalk is defined as "that portion of a
street between the curbline and the adjacent property line intended for the use of
pedestrians." The dirt planting strip that sometimes exists within the sidewalk along the edge of
the curb is part of the sidewalk because it is intended to be used by pedestrians walking to and
from a roadway, e.g. to a parked car.

From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Re: Eighth St and Harrison St Encampment Efforts
The purpose of this memo is to inform the Council that the City’s Homeless Response
Team (HRT) will be temporarily suspending efforts to resolve the remaining
encampments in and around the intersection of Eighth St and Harrison St in Northwest
Berkeley until the Court proceedings in two pending cases against the City at this
encampment (Prado and Parnell) give us more insight and direction.
The memo provides background and rationale behind this difficult decision.
The HRT strives to assist people who are homeless primarily through guiding them to
housing (interim or permanent) and supportive services, while also ensuring the
conditions of their encampments are as safe and clean as possible. The encampments
in and around 8th and Harrison Streets in Northwest Berkeley have persistently posed
serious health and safety concerns to the residents of the encampments as well as their
neighbors, who include both residents and merchants. They have also contributed to
public infrastructure damage (damaged and inoperable street lights, damaged
sidewalks and street tree wells, dead or dying city trees, etc.) in the area. The HRT’s
strategy to resolve this challenging situation is laid out in greater detail below, and has
included providing direct access to motels and other indoor solutions, cleaning the area
regularly, and attempting to prevent re-encampment and a re-creation of the same
problematic concerns and conditions so that infrastructure repairs and construction can
commence.
The decision to temporarily pause this work will free up resources to more proactively
address encampment concerns elsewhere in Berkeley. We will offer interim housing to
those who are willing to accept it, and those areas can be more effectively be
maintained for a complete resolution.
BACKGROUND
The encampments in this corridor of the city have, for several years, posed both very
dangerous living conditions for the people living in them, and serious impacts to the
neighboring businesses, residents, and general public. For years, the City has offered a
wide range of both service opportunities and enforcement attempts at this encampment

Re: Harrison Street Corridor Encampments
to foster safer and healthier conditions. (Both the persistent concerns and our efforts to
mitigate them are documented in Attachment 1 to this memo.) However, a number of
significant external challenges have consistently hindered the City’s ability to
permanently resolve this encampment, including an ever-shifting and uncertain legal
landscape in the wake of Ninth Circuit’s Martin v. City of Boise decision 1; suspension of
encampment enforcement pursuant to CDC guidance during the height of the global
COVID-19 pandemic 2; and federal Coordinated Entry guidance regulating the
prioritization of limited permanent supportive housing that is silent on the impacts of
encampments.3 At the same time, and largely due to the presence of the encampment,
the corridor has seen significant damage to public infrastructure, (including inoperable
city streetlights; damaged city sidewalks; damaged tree wells and dead or dying city
street trees) that have gone unrepaired.
In February 2023, the Neighborhood Services Division in the City Manager’s Office
applied for, and was awarded, a State of California Encampment Resolution Fund grant
that enabled the City to master lease the Super 8 motel at 1619 University Avenue as a
non-congregate shelter destination for individuals in this encampment. Over the spring
and early summer, Neighborhood Services conducted an extensive survey of the
encampments in the area, generating a census of 51 people living there, and between
May and July 2023, the Homeless Response Team conducted three community
meetings with the residents, advocates, and service providers in this encampment to
explain our plans to target the new Super 8 motel to this encampment and eventually
resolve the encampment to perform the infrastructure repairs. In August 2023, the
program opened its doors and residents began moving into the shelter.
However, despite having non-congregate shelter beds dedicated to this encampment,
nearly every effort that the City has made to resolve portions of the encampment have
been met with significant opposition and/or legal challenges:
• On August 22, 2023, the City attempted to resolve the encampments in and
along the northernmost part of 8th St and Codornices Creek from 8th St to 6th St,
in accordance with pending construction in the area by the City of Albany;
opponents pitched a “sit-in” and the closure was only partially completed (the
Creek remains encamped to this day).

2 See: https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/107838
3 See https://files.hudexchange.info/resources/documents/Coordinated-Entry-Core-Elements.pdf. In 2023,
recognizing the insufficiency of this federal guidance with respect to dangerous encampments, the City of
Berkeley sponsored a change in State law, AB 1285 (Wicks), and pressed the Alameda County
Continuum of Care (CoC) to prioritize the Harrison St encampments for permanent supportive housing, in
a formal memo to the CoC (included here as Attachment 2). On November 8, a subcommittee of the
CoC’s Leadership Board voted 7-1 to deny Berkeley’s recommendation to prioritize this encampment
(see agenda item 7 in the Nov 8, 2023 minutes of the Outreach, Access, and Coordination Committee).

Re: Harrison Street Corridor Encampments
• On September 6, 2023, and in response to a formal declaration of the area as an
imminent hazard and an order for summary abatement by the City Manager (see
Attachment 1), the City attempted to abate the public health and safety hazards
on Harrison St between 7th St and 8th St. In response, advocates and residents in
the encampment, in collaboration with East Bay Community Law Center and
Disability Rights Advocates, filed a lawsuit (Prado v. City of Berkeley) and were
granted a temporary restraining order (TRO), enjoining the city from action. The
TRO was eventually lifted on September 27, but the numerous conditions
simultaneously imposed by the Judge posed significant implementation
challenges for the city, such that this health and safety abatement could not be
completed until November 7, 2023. Meanwhile, the Prado case is pending.
• On November 14, 2023, the City attempted to resolve the encampments along
Harrison St from 7th to 8th, but was met with another TRO less than 24 hours
before the planned operation. This had the effect of delaying the operation until
December 5.
• On December 12, the City planned an operation to resolve the encampments
along 8th St and along Harrison St from 8th to 9th, both to continue clearing the
area for planned street construction as well as to enable adjacent parcel owners
to construct a privately-financed fence. Hours into the operation, the City learned
that another lawsuit (Parnell v. City of Berkeley) and order to cease and desist
had been issued, forcing the City to suspend plans to fence the areas that had
been closed that morning (which were re-encamped within minutes of the court’s
order).
• Between the November 7, 2023 abatement operation and the date of this memo,
the temporary fencing designating the area as a pending construction zone has
been breached, and the area behind the fencing re-encamped, on several
occasions, sometimes within hours of the City’s putting it up.
DECISION AND RATIONALE
The Homeless Response Team has made the decision to temporarily suspend
future efforts to resolve the encampments in this area until the Court proceedings
in the two pending cases against the City at this encampment (Prado and Parnell)
give us more insight and direction. Because the timing is ultimately in the hands of
the Court, we are unable to offer a timeline for when closure, and ultimately the street
construction efforts they will precede, can continue. We will continue to serve the people
living in these encampments with outreach and service offers; move those who wish to
move into shelter indoors, in accordance with available resources; and perform regular
clean-ups in the area to manage the footprint of the encampment. These latter efforts
are ongoing and they will not stop now.
The rationale for this difficult decision is as follows:
• Each of these resolution operations required numerous hours of intricate legal,
operational, and tactical planning by staff across numerous city departments, and
pursuant to numerous case laws, required advanced written notice and careful
Page 41 of 127
198
CC 10-15-2024
198 of 328
Public
Page 4
February 20, 2024
Re: Harrison Street Corridor Encampments
planning on how to sort and store each person’s belongings. Despite all this
planning, staff have been met three times with Court orders to cease, hours
before or even during the operation, effectively rendering planning efforts moot. If
and when the operations do take place, each operation has been a physically
and emotionally taxing endeavor for HRT staff, with many hours in the field
amidst vehement protest opposition. However, sometimes within days or even
hours of completing an operation, the area is re-encamped and/or fencing has
been breached and destroyed, putting the City back at square one. We simply do
not have the staffing resources to continue these efforts indefinitely.
• The City has, since the inception of the Homeless Response Team in September
2021, focused the majority of its time and efforts in the Gilman District. More
specifically:
o Since September 2021, the Homeless Response Team has performed
106 encampment operations, including closures, deep cleanings, and
vehicular enforcement. 28% of all interventions have occurred in the
Gilman District.
o Since September 2021, the Homeless Response Team has removed
998,060 pounds of debris from encampments around the City. 22% has
come from the Gilman District.
o Since September 2021, the Homeless Response Team has made
657 offers of shelter/interim housing to people in encampments. 35% of all
offers have been given to people living in the Gilman District.
The amount of time, resources, and effort given to this area have been
immense—frankly, they have exceeded what a City of our size, considered by
the State too small to be eligible for direct State homelessness funding, could
reasonably be expected to provide. But there are numerous other encampments
around the city, including in other historically redlined areas of West and South
Berkeley, that need our attention and resources as well.
• The District Court has repeatedly required that we hold non-congregate shelter
beds open for any closure of these encampments, even though our offers of
shelter have been continuously declined, and congregate housing is available. It
is unethical to continue to withhold vacant beds from people in other areas of the
City who might benefit from them now. (Of lesser importance, beds at the Super
8 motel are paid for by a State grant with aggressive expenditure deadlines, and
continuing to keep the beds vacant jeopardizes compliance with the deadlines.)
• The Homeless Response Team is a multi-disciplinary, multi-departmental team
comprised of staff from numerous departments, including Neighborhood
Services; Police; Public Works; Health, Housing and Community Services; Parks,
Recreation, and Waterfront; and others as needed. Notably, the HRT is not
sufficiently budgeted to pay for dedicated encampment staff from each of these
departments; to staff a major encampment operation, the HRT relies on the same
Police officers who respond to violent calls for service across the City and the
same Public Works staff who perform street construction work. With vacancies in
each of these departments hovering at 1 in 5 positions, we do not have the staff

Re: Harrison Street Corridor Encampments
to perform more than a handful of encampment operations every month, and
other health and safety concerns elsewhere in the city need our attention as well.
Once again, we will not abandon the Gilman District nor the people living unsheltered in
it, and will continue to make every effort to provide available services to those
unsheltered here and provide clean-ups in the area as frequently as our resources
allow. But we must be realistic about what a City of our size and capacity can
accomplish in the wake of so much judicial risk and uncertainty, and the very real costs
to limited staff time and budgetary resources this uncertainty poses.

Re: Nuisance Declaration and Summary Abatement of Conditions on Harrison St
INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY OF SERVICE EFFORTS
The encampments in and around Harrison Street, especially those between 8th and 7th Streets, in
West Berkeley have presented ongoing challenges to the City. The City has provided a wide
range of services for the residents in this area as well as full scale operations to reduce the debris
and dangerous conditions. Since September 2021, when the City first resumed encampment
operations after a COVID hiatus, these include:
• The placement of a dumpster on 8th St in April 2022, with service 4 times a week, and a
second dumpster on 7th and Harrison in August 2023, as well as weekly illegal dumping
removal service from the city’s Public Works Department;
• The placement of two port-a-potties with wash station located at the corner of Eighth and
Harrison St; both are serviced on a regular basis.
• Free mobile shower and laundry service to the residents of this encampment on a weekly
basis since June 2022.
• A major effort to relocate RVs in the area in September and October 2021 to the City’s
Safe RV parking program; multiple offers of an off-street parking spot were offered to all
35 vehicles being used as shelter in the encampment, and 18 moved in or voluntarily
relocated.
• One full closure of the encampment, in February 2022, and 3 partial closures since that
time. The full closure in Feb 2022 included motel room offers for everyone living there,
using Alameda County Winter Shelter motel vouchers and with an 83% uptake rate. Only
two arrests and 0 criminal citations have been issued during these operations.
• Nine deep cleanings of the encampment, in which a total of 124.9 tons (249,800 pounds)
of debris have been removed, and a major nuisance abatement of rodent harborage
conditions in October 2022, in which a total of 32.1 tons (64,200 pounds, or nearly the
weight of a humpback whale) of debris were removed.
• Multiple targeted treatments by the City’s Environmental Health Division of the extensive
network of rodent burrows in and around the encampment, and the provision on numerous
occasions of new tents and Sterilite tubs to help maintain cleaner and more rodent-proof
conditions.

• The provision of 107 shelter offers to the residents in this area, with an 53.3% uptake rate.
Not including the major independent effort to resolve the People’s Park encampment with
UC Berkeley, this represents 23% of all shelter provisions the City’s Homeless Response
Team has made since September 2021. For lack of housing exits, many of those moved
into shelter have returned back to this encampment over time.
• Weekly by-name case conferences, focusing heavily on this encampment, hosted by the
Homeless Response Team and attended by Alameda County Healthcare for the
Homeless, Berkeley’s Health, Housing and Community Services Department, Homeless
Action Center, Bay Area Community Services (BACS), LifeLong Medical Care, East Bay
Community Law Center, Options Recovery Services, Berkeley Mental Health, and
Building Opportunities for Self-Sufficiency (BOSS).
• Three community meetings (in May and July 2023) between city staff and residents and
advocates of the encampment to discuss resources and how to improve safety.
All of these services are in addition to the intensive presence of the County’s Street Medicine
Teams in the encampment.
On June 14, 2023, the City of Berkeley was awarded $4.9M from the State of California’s
Encampment Resolution Fund-2 grant program, which the City now uses to master lease the
23-room Super 8 motel on University Avenue and contract with Insight Housing to provide low-
barrier, service-rich, noncongregate shelter to the residents of this encampment. Since August
1, the HRT has maintained a daily presence in the area to schedule move-ins and begin
assisting people from the encampment into places of greater safety. So far, 14 people have
moved into the Super 8 from this encampment, with an additional 4 scheduled; 3 people have
been matched directly to permanent supportive housing, and one more has moved into the
Berkeley Inn.
In addition, the HRT has attempted to foster a more transparent and collaborative working
relationship with the residents and advocates of this encampment to maintain cleaner
conditions. Since May of 2023, the HRT and the encampment have had three community
meetings to discuss the City’s concerns about the conditions, the encampment residents’ stated
needs, and how to better work together in maintaining cleaner conditions. These “Good
Neighbor Guidelines” are 5 common sense standards which, if maintained, reduce the likelihood
of a large city clean-up. Though these Guidelines have not been officially adopted,1 they
received a good deal of stated support and understanding from residents themselves in the
encampment.
ASSESSMENT OF PRESENT ENCAMPMENT CONDITIONS
Nevertheless, and despite these numerous efforts, for months (and at present) the HRT continues
to observe dead animals, open food sources and spoiled food, used uncapped drug needles,
combustible materials like flammable gas containers inside unsafe wooden structures, bottles of
urine, human feces, animal feces, soiled clothing and sheltering material, and other unidentifiable
liquid and waste products. In addition, the large accumulation of debris and ad-hoc sheltering
1 Advocates in the encampment specifically recommended engaging businesses, housed residents, and
other stakeholders for their input before adoption, and so Neighborhood Services will be bringing them to
the October 4, 2023 meeting of the Homeless Services Panel of Experts for discussion and a possible
referral to the Council or a Council policy subcommittee.

structures has completely blocked the sidewalk and extended into the roadway, creating
numerous concerning fire and traffic safety hazards.
RECOMMENDATION
The HRT and City Manager’s Office will continue to work to finalize the Good Neighbor
Guidelines for future implementation at encampments around the City and will continue the
ongoing process of moving residents inside the new Super 8 or other City shelter resources.
The City has also formally engaged the Alameda County CoC with a recommendation to
prioritize this encampment for permanent supportive housing referrals, with a memo dated July
20, 2023, and that recommendation is under discussion.
In the meanwhile, however, the Berkeley Fire Department and Environmental Health Divisions
have observed alarming conditions that justify their declaring Harrison St between 7th and 8th
Streets an imminent health hazard (see attached memos and reports). Therefore, to resolve
these dangerous nuisance conditions now as we work towards a fuller resolution of the
entire encampment in the near future, we recommend a summary nuisance abatement of
the encampment conditions Harrison St between 7th and 8th Streets.

Additionally, on August 23 2023, a joint inspection was completed with Fire Prevention, Homeless
Response Team, and Environmental Health to assess the current situation on the north side Harrison
St between Seventh and Eighth St. During this inspection, multiple fire and building code violations
were identified, and include (but not limited to) the following:
1. Constructing and maintaining this structure constitutes an unlawful act - BFC 112.1
2. The structure does not have adequate fire separation distance and fire-resistive construction to
separate it from adjacent property lines and structures - BBC 602
3. As constructed the design, materials, methods of construction, and the structure as a whole
have not been approved and do not comply with important provisions of the Berkeley Building
Code including Chapter 23, “Wood” of the Berkeley Building Code.
4. Accumulations of combustible waste materials are present in and around the structure and the
adjacent encampment areas - BFC 304.1
5. Combustible materials are being stored within ten feet of the lot line - BFC 315.4
The volume of fire-related calls for service in this specific area is unusually high for the time period
when compared to similar areas that do not have encampments. Based on the nature of the calls, the
great majority of these calls appear to be directly related to human activity, specifically habitation in
this area. The number and types of calls combined with the observed code violations are sufficiently
concerning for the Berkeley Fire Department to recommend that the encampments on the north side
of Harrison St. be abated summarily. This action will significantly reduce the likelihood of severe injury
or death from fire, as well as reduce the likelihood of substantial damage to property and public
infrastructure.

Subject: Declaration of Imminent Health Hazard for areas along Harrison St between Seventh and Eighth
Street
Per your request, Environmental Health staff assessed the conditions of the subject area and found significant
areas of concern with regard to the health and safety of the residents in this area and to the public in general.
These concerns are included in the attached report which identifies several areas along the north side of
Harrison St.
I believe that the conditions documented in attached report rise to the level of an imminent health hazard,
particularly findings of used syringes, areas where raw sewage was observed and the proliferation of rat
burrows all along the Harrison St corridor.
Per Section 11.40.030 of the Berkeley Municipal Code, I am recommending to the City Manager that those
areas identified in the attached report be summarily abated to minimize the impact to the residents and
general public.

Re: Pilot Approach to Prioritizing Residents of the Harrison Street Encampments in Berkeley
RECOMMENDATION
The encampments in and around Harrison Street from 10th St to 6th/7th in West Berkeley have
presented ongoing challenges to the City of Berkeley, and pose acute threats to the health and
safety of the residents living in them. With new State ERF-2 resources and the City Council’s
commitment of local resources, the City of Berkeley has an exciting opportunity to resolve one of
the most persistently challenging encampments in all of Alameda County. To do so as rapidly and
effectively as possible, we respectfully request a partnership with the County and CoC to
explicitly prioritize, on a pilot basis, the PSH-eligible residents of this encampment for all
new upcoming permanent supportive housing vacancies in the CoC. Beyond the obvious
benefits of improved public health and decreased need for costly services in this encampment,
we believe that this request is (1) permissible and justified under our CoC’s current Coordinated
Entry policies; (2) allowable under federal Fair Housing law; and (3) especially urgent because of
the considerable fire and life safety hazards at the encampment. The remainder of this memo
outlines the rationale for this recommendation.
HISTORY OF SERVICES AND RESOURCES AT THE ENCAMPMENT
The City of Berkeley’s Homeless Response Team (HRT) is the multi-departmental team,
coordinated by the City Manager’s Office, charged with responding to unsheltered homelessness
with resource and shelter offers, and resolving dangerous encampments without the use of
citation and arrest. The HRT is committed to the USICH 7 Principles of Encampment Resolution,
and has provided countless hours and resources in an attempt to better the lives of those living
in this encampment, and better the conditions of the encampment. Since September 2021, when
the City first resumed encampment operations after a COVID hiatus, these include:
• The placement of a dumpster on 8th St in April 2022, with service 4 times a week, and
weekly illegal dumping removal service from the city’s Public Works Department;
• The placement of a port-a-potty located at the corner of Eighth and Harrison St. The
residents here also have access to another port-a-potty located at Eighth St and the
Creek. Both are serviced on a regular basis.
Page 69 of 127
226
CC 10-15-2024
226 of 328
• Free mobile shower and laundry service to the residents of this encampment on a weekly
basis since June 2022.
• A major effort to relocate RVs in the area in September and October 2021 to the City’s
Safe RV parking program; multiple offers of an off-street parking spot were offered to all
35 vehicles being used as shelter in the encampment, and 18 moved in or voluntarily
relocated.
• One full closure of the encampment, in February 2022, and 3 partial closures since that
time. The full closure in Feb 2022 included motel room offers for everyone living there,
using Alameda County Winter Shelter motel vouchers and with an 83% uptake rate. Only
two arrests and 0 criminal citations have been issued during these operations.
• Nine deep cleanings of the encampment, in which a total of 124.9 tons (249,800 pounds)
of debris have been removed, and a major nuisance abatement of rodent harborage
conditions in October 2022, in which a total of 32.1 tons (64,200 pounds, or nearly the
weight of a humpback whale) of debris were removed.
• Multiple targeted treatments by the City’s Environmental Health Division of the extensive
network of rodent burrows in and around the encampment, and the provision on numerous
occasions of new tents and Sterilite tubs to help maintain cleaner and more rodent-proof
conditions.
• The provision of 107 shelter offers to the residents in this area, with an 53.3% uptake rate.
Not including the major independent effort to resolve the People’s Park encampment with
UC Berkeley, this represents 23% of all shelter provisions the City’s Homeless Response
Team has made since September 2021. For lack of housing exits, many of those moved
into shelter have returned back to this encampment over time.
• Weekly by-name case conferences, focusing heavily on this encampment, hosted by the
Homeless Response Team and attended by Alameda County Healthcare for the
Homeless, Berkeley’s Health, Housing and Community Services Department, Homeless
Action Center, Bay Area Community Services (BACS), LifeLong Medical Care, East Bay
Community Law Center, Options Recovery Services, Berkeley Mental Health, and
Building Opportunities for Self-Sufficiency (BOSS).
• Two community meetings (in May and July 2023) between city staff and residents and
advocates of the encampment to discuss resources and how to improve safety.
All of these services are in addition to the intensive presence of the County’s Street Medicine
Teams in the encampment.
Nevertheless, and despite these numerous efforts, for months the HRT has repeatedly observed
dead animals, open food sources and spoiled food, used uncapped drug needles, bottles of urine,
human feces, animal feces, soiled clothing and sheltering material, and other unidentifiable liquid
and waste products. In addition, the large accumulation of debris and ad-hoc sheltering structures
has completely blocked the sidewalk and extended into the roadway, creating numerous
concerning fire and traffic safety hazards.
On June 14, 2023, the City of Berkeley was awarded $4.9M from the State of California’s
Encampment Resolution Fund-2 grant program, which the City will use to master lease the 23-
room Super 8 motel on University Avenue and contract with Insight Housing to provide low-barrier,
service-rich, noncongregate shelter to the residents of this encampment. On June 22, 2023, the
Berkeley City Council’s Budget and Finance Policy Committee voted unanimously to approve an
additional $5M in City general fund to match this State grant, and on July 11th, the City Council

approved the lease, contract, and funding. Altogether, this means Berkeley has everything in
place to open this new noncongregate shelter by August 1, and to keep it open for at least
four years. Because of the serious and persistent health and safety concerns at this
encampment, we will prioritize this new resource to the residents there, with the goal of ultimately
resolving the encampment to make way for long-overdue infrastructure repairs and other
construction-related activity later this calendar year. W e will also prioritize all North County
Coordinated Entry resources, including City-funded housing navigation slots and other services,
to this encampment, and we have recently approved an exception to our internal HIPAA Privacy
Rule interpretations to allow for need-to-know information sharing with our Mental Health Division
to better coordinate mental health resources for the encampment as well.
Put simply, the City has done--and with this new State grant, will be doing--everything within our
power to prioritize these vulnerable residents for shelter and every other resource at our direct
disposal that can improve their lives. However, we do not have the administrative authority to
prioritize permanent supportive housing to these residents; by Federal regulation, only the CoC,
through the Coordinated Entry process, can prioritize and match permanent supportive housing.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
Beyond the obvious benefits of improved public health and decreased need for services resources
in this encampment, we believe that this request is (1) permissible and justified under our CoC’s
current Coordinated Entry policies; (2) allowable under federal Fair Housing law; and (3)
especially urgent because of the considerable fire and life safety hazards at the encampment.
(1) This request is permissible and justified under our CoC’s current Coordinated Entry policies.
From April 19 – May 1 and again from June 14 - 30, 2023, the HRT performed daily outreach to
the residents (both in tents and vehicles) at this encampment, with the purposes of building and
refining an accurate by-name census of everyone known to be living in the encampment. In
addition to allowing us to better serve these residents with tailored outreach, this effort has allowed
us to collect both information on Coordinated Entry scores and vulnerabilities, as well as
demographics on race, ethnicity and gender at the encampment.
Our analyses of these data found 47 total people known to us and our partner providers to be
living in this encampment. Of those:
• 28 of the 47 residents (59.6%) staying in the Harrison Street encampment have been
assessed for Coordinated Entry.
• 22 (78.6% of those assessed) qualify for Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) – i.e., are
already on the PSH Priority list. An additional 4 residents (14.3%) qualify for rapid
rehousing.
• Only 2 residents (7.1%) do not score high enough to qualify for a traditional housing
intervention.
The chart immediately below provides a breakdown of the assessment scores of those who have
been assessed: only five people assessed for Coordinated Entry do not meet the threshold score
in our CoC for PSH:

In addition, the chart below provides a breakdown of the self-reported vulnerabilities of those in
the encampment, relative to the self-reported vulnerabilities in our overall homeless population,
showing how disproportionately vulnerable the residents of this encampment are:
By all accounts, these are people who would already otherwise be eligible and prioritized for
Permanent Supportive Housing in Alameda County. Importantly, this proposal would not make
anyone who is not already on the PSH Priority List eligible for permanent supportive housing.

Instead, it would offer those residents in the encampment census who otherwise are already on
the priority list the first referrals to any upcoming permanent housing vacancies. In other words, it
would, temporarily and on a pilot basis, limit the County’s priority pool only to those in the
encampment census who otherwise qualify for permanent supportive housing under the existing
established Federal and CoC Coordinated Entry policies, and keep it that way until everyone has
had a housing offer. It does not otherwise change the prioritization algorithm in any way.
(2) This request is allowable under Federal Fair Housing law.
The essence of Federal Fair Housing law is that housing access must not discriminate against,
or cause disproportionate impacts on the basis of, a protected class status. To preempt any Fair
Housing concerns associated with the targeting of this encampment for housing resources, the
City of Berkeley contacted the HUD Region IX Program Compliance Division for guidance (see
Attachment 1). We were advised that such an analysis can be performed by comparing the
demographics (race, ethnicity, disability, and gender) of all residents currently living in
encampments in the encampment and who are on the PSH priority list to their representation in
the North County and Alameda County PSH priority lists, to determine if any protected class
groups will be disproportionately impacted by giving a priority or preference to the encampment.
To this end, Berkeley staff and our nonprofit contractors spent weeks collecting and compiling
into HMIS the demographic data of everyone known to be living in the encampment, and found
the following demographics for persons on the priority list within the encampment:

From these analyses, we see no compelling evidence that this proposal would disproportionately
impact any protected racial and ethnic classes; if anything, it would better serve Black/African
American and Indigenous homeless residents, those races most disproportionately represented
in Alameda County’s homeless population and the key focus of the County’s own stated racial
equity goals for our homeless response system.1
While the gender distribution in our analyses do reveal a skew towards those identifying as male,
we have evidence that this skew is not necessarily a result of the Harrison St demographic make-
up per se, but could reflect systematic bias in Coordinated Entry access at this encampment: of

the 12 residents identifying as female at this encampment, 6 have been assessed for CES and 6
have not (50% of females are assessed). Meanwhile, of the 25 residents identifying as male, 22
have been assessed and 3 have not (88% of males are assessed).2 The overall distribution of
females to males in the encampment is closer to 50%, but females are clearly not receiving
assessments at the same rate as males—despite a recent sustained “assessment blitz” in early
July by the City and its providers to all encampment residents here. Thus, we assert that the slight
skew towards males in our analyses do not reflect a Fair Housing concern with the proposal per
se, but rather a deeper underlying equity problem in Coordinated Entry access at encampments
by gender that is worth further consideration from the CoC, and further underscores the validity
of a pilot approach to prioritizing this encampment.
(3) This request is especially urgent because of the considerable fire and life safety hazards at
the encampment
Aside from the fact that these residents are, by and large, already the very residents our
Coordinated Entry system would prioritize for permanent supportive housing, they face an
unusual exposure to additional health and safety threats simply by virtue of their living in this
encampment setting: the area was recently declared an imminent health hazard, pursuant to
Berkeley Municipal Code 11.36.030, by the City’s Environmental Health Manager, due primarily
to the rodent harborage conditions and extensive network of rodent burrows in the encampment
(see attachment 2), and according to the Berkeley Fire Marshal is experiencing an unusually high
and concerning number of fires and fire-related calls (see attachment 3). In other words, aside
from the documented personal vulnerabilities of the people living in this encampment, they are
exposed to unusually intense environmental vulnerabilities.
Many years ago, our nation’s health experts realized that health is not simply a factor of personal
vulnerabilities; the environment one lives in can expose people to additional health risk factors,
and population level health requires the mitigation of environmental risk factors. Indeed, many of
our County’s recent public health initiatives have explicitly prioritized communities for
interventions on the basis of environmental or geographic risk: most recently, we explicitly
prioritized COVID testing and vaccine resources to those ZIP codes most likely to experience
socioeconomic conditions, such as crowded housing or employment in an essential service, that
made them disproportionately vulnerable to the disease. Ironically, Alameda County homeless
service providers often speak about homelessness not just as a housing crisis but a health crisis
too, and speak of housing as a healthcare intervention—but we have taken few affirmative steps
to explicitly prioritize the environmental factors that also dictate a homeless person’s health when
making Coordinated Entry prioritization decisions.
If a chief moral imperative of Coordinated Entry in our CoC is to assist those people who
are most vulnerable to serious illness and death on the streets, then by any measure —
personal or environmental--the residents of this encampment are as or more vulnerable
than any in our County. The urgency of their situation, in the opinion of the health and fire
experts in our City, should increase their priority for housing.
2 The remaining 10 clients on the census have not provided us with any information as to their gender identity.

CONCLUSION
The City of Berkeley has done—and with the recent State ERF-2 grant announcement, will do—
everything within our power to serve and end the homelessness of those living in the deplorable
conditions at the Harrison and 8th St encampments. But we cannot resolve this encampment on
our own, which is why we respectfully request a pilot program that would offer these residents —
assuming they otherwise qualify for PSH—the first offers for new PSH vacancies, until such time
as everyone eligible has been made an offer.
Rationing scarce resources efficiently—which is the fundamental essence of Coordinated Entry—
requires that we start somewhere. This memo has argued that starting with the residents of the
Harrison and 8th Street encampment is justified, legal, and especially urgent. Necessarily, when
rationing resources, there will always be “winners” and “losers.” In our current system, residents
of entrenched and dangerous encampments have systematically been the “losers” for far too
long—and it’s time we put them at the front of the line.

From: Arlo Malmberg, Data and Policy Analyst, Berkeley Police Department
Subject: Public Safety Concerns at the 2nd Street Encampment Zone
The data from the area bounded by Eastshore Hwy, Cedar St., 3rd St., and Page St. indicates a significant public safety
concern, with a marked increase in calls for service and crimes over the past year. In 2023, calls for service jumped to
247 from 169 (+46%) in the previous year, and reported crimes rose to 69 from 60 (+15%). Commercial burglary was the
most prevalent crime type, with 27 incidents reported. The data suggests a worsening safety situation, particularly
around the 2nd St. encampments.
In the opinion of BPD, any resources that can resolve this encampment by moving its residents inside and away from this
encampment is likely to improve the public safety issues in this area.

Subject: Declaration of Imminent Health Hazard for areas of Second Street between Page and Cedar
Streets
Environmental Health staff assessed the conditions of the subject area and found significant areas of concern
with regard to the health and safety of the residents in this area and to the public in general. In addition,
significant environmental impacts to water quality were observed. These concerns are included in the
attached report which identifies several areas along the Second Street corridor between Page and Cedar
Streets.
I believe that the conditions documented in attached report rise to the level of an imminent health hazard
with significant environmental impacts. Findings include:
• Used hypodermic needles
• Extensive rat burrow systems and harborages with abundant food sources and putrescible waste
(rotting food) helping to support a significant rat population
• Direct contamination of the of the City’s storm water drainage system
To minimize the impact to the residents of this encampment and general public, we strongly recommend
prioritizing this encampment for any resources, including the State of California Encampment Resolution
Funding program, that can lead to a quick and humane resolution of this encampment and its conditions.
Respectfully,
Ron Torres
Environmental Health Manager

than eighteen inches above the ground and evenly piled or stacked, or otherwise made reasonably
unsuitable as a rodent harborage by such manner as may be approved by the chief of environmental
health.

Fire & Emergency Services Department
Fire Prevention Division
Date: January 23, 2024
To: Peter Radu, Assistant to the City Manager
From: Dori Tieu, Deputy Fire Marshal
Subject: Assessment of fire hazards for areas along Second Street between Page and Cedar
Streets
On January 9, 2024, Berkeley Fire Department Fire Prevention staff assessed fire safety conditions along
the Second Street corridor between Page and Cedar Streets, including half the block of Cedar Street
west of Second Street. Staff found some areas of concern with regard fire safety in this area and to the
public in general. A majority of the concerns were related to storage of combustible items and rubbish
along the corridor providing potential fuel for a fire:
BFC 304.2 Storage. Storage of combustible rubbish shall not produce conditions that will create
a nuisance or a hazard to the public health, safety or welfare.
BFC 315.4 Outside storage. Outside storage of combustible materials shall not be located within
10 feet (3048 mm) of a lot line.
There were a handful of fire code violations related to:
BFC 305.1 Clearance from ignition sources. Clearance between ignition sources, such as
luminaires, heaters, flame-producing devices and combustible materials, shall be maintained in
an approved manner.
BFC 305.4 Deliberate or negligent burning. It shall be unlawful to deliberately or through
negligence set fire to or cause the burning of combustible material in such a manner as to
endanger the safety of persons or property.
BFC 305.5 Unwanted fire ignitions. Acts or processes that have caused repeated ignition of
unwanted fires shall be modified to prevent future ignition.
BFC 507.5.4 Obstruction. Unobstructed access to fire hydrants shall be maintained at all times.
The fire department shall not be deterred or hindered from gaining immediate access to fire
protection equipment or fire hydrants.
BFC 507.5.5 Clear space around hydrants. A 3-foot (914 mm) clear space shall be maintained
around the circumference of fire hydrants, except as otherwise required or approved.
Environmental Health Division Staff completed an assessment of the same area on January 4, 2024. In
their memo to Peter Radu, Assistant to the City Manager, they provided an aerial photo of the area and
numbered the locations on the map. Below is the photo that Fire will also reference to in this report.

The following two photos document examples of the following fire code violations:
BFC 507.5.4 Obstruction. Unobstructed access to fire hydrants shall be maintained at all times. The fire
department shall not be deterred or hindered from gaining immediate access to fire protection
equipment or fire hydrants.
BFC 507.5.5 Clear space around hydrants. A 3-foot (914 mm) clear space shall be maintained around
the circumference of fire hydrants, except as otherwise required or approved.
Area #1 – Encampment at northwest corner of Second Street and Cedar Street intersection
There have been multiple fires at abandoned warehouses and nuisance fires in proximity to the
encampment. A quick search of fires in 2023 resulted in 20 fires within one to two blocks of the
encampment. The most recent building fire occurred on January 13, 2024, at 2:15 AM. It became a two-
alarm fire with mutual aid that started as an offensive attack and moved to a defensive attack because
of the large size of the fire and heavy content loading inside the building. Embers cast from nearby fires
could ignite the combustible materials among the encampment and endanger the residents.
The Berkeley Fire Department is concerned about the numerous fire and life safety hazards associated
with this encampment, and would recommend prioritizing this encampment for any shelter resources,
including the State of California Encampment Resolution Funding program, that can lead to resolution of
this encampment and its conditions. We also recommend fire safety education, clean-up of combustible
materials, removal of obstructions and tampering of the fire hydrant, and removal of potential ignition
sources. We look forward to partnering with you towards a safer future for this encampment

On Wed, Sept 29, 2021, City staff from Neighborhood Services, Public Works, and BPD including Parking
Enforcement collaborated in the first of two planned operations to address the RVs encamped along the
Harrison St Corridor and neighboring side streets. The City Attorney signed off on the final notice and
advised during the planning process. This report provides a brief after-action summary of the operation
and its outcomes:
• Reason for operation and timing:
o The operation was planned to coincide with the opening of the Safe RV Parking Program
on Grayson Street. A deep cleaning of the area’s streets and sidewalks was planned to
help reduce/remove the debris associated with the vehicles after vehicles moved into
the program.
o Vehicles in the area were provided a notice of a street sweeping, TNC regulations, and
the City’s storage policy for unattended belongings on Friday, Sept 24th. Temporary tow-
away signage for the day and time of the operation (9/29 and 10/6, 7am – 3pm) was
posted on Fri, Sept 24th as well.
• Number of Vehicles and Brief Site Assessment:
o On Sept 23, Neighborhood Services performed a final census of the area. Staff identified
38 oversized vehicles, 35 of which were being used as shelter and potentially eligible for
Rv Parking Program referral.
o No vehicles that moved into the area after the census were eligible for referral into the
program.
• History of Outreach/Engagement Attempts:
o Outreach began in preparation for the operation in early September. Neighborhood
Services performed numerous visits to advise people of the opening of the Safe RV
Parking program, build a referral list, and advise residents there of the possibility of
impending parking enforcement.
• Outcomes:
o At the conclusion of yesterday’s operation, Neighborhood Services counted 17
remaining oversized vehicles in the area. This is a roughly 50% reduction in vehicles. The
debris/belongings footprint associated with most of the remaining vehicles was
substantially reduced.
o A total of 23 vehicles were issued citations for parking violations in the street sweeping
zone. Six were dismissed when the vehicle moved. One vehicle was towed. No vehicles
being used as shelter were towed.
o Public Works picked up 3.49 tons of debris from Harrison Street, Ninth Street, Eighth
Street, Fourth Street and 2nd Street from Camelia Street to Cedar Street. Harrison Street
was mechanically swept and pressure washed.
o As of 5:30pm on 9/29, 6 vehicles from the area had moved into the Safe RV Parking
Program. The destination for the other vehicles that relocated is unknown at this time.
• Next Steps:
o City staff will reconvene on Friday, Oct 1 to plan for addressing the remaining vehicles.
o The second of the two planned operations will be conducted on Wed., October 6th.
Notices will be reposted by Neighborhood Services on Friday, Oct. 1.

Cedar and 2nd - Cleaned 2nd b/w Camelia and Page - Cleaned
On Wednesday, December 1, 2021, City staff from Neighborhood Services, Public Works, and BPD
collaborated to perform a deep cleaning of the 2nd Street Corridor from Cedar to Camelia in West
Berkeley. The scope of the operation was to remove the huge accumulation of debris in the area, as well
as address an encampment on private property on Page between Eastshore and 2nd. No one on public
property was required to move or relocate, nor to part with anything they did not want to. This report
provides a brief after-action summary of the operation and its outcomes:
• Reason for the operation:
o A large accumulation of debris, trash, and hazardous materials (large quantities of loose
and uncapped syringes, human waste) in the public right of way that required a
dedicated crew to fully address.
o An encampment that was located on private property, where the owner had submitted
trespassing complaints and requested removal of the encampment pursuant to CA
Penal Code 602.
• Scope of the operation:
o The target area was 2nd Street between Camelia and Cedar, as well as an encampment
on private property on Page St between 2nd and Eastshore.
o The public right of way in the area had roughly 25 RVs and 4 tents/structures on the day
of the operation.
o The private parcel had 8 tents/structures on the day of the operation.

• Outcomes:
o 7.47 tons (14,900 pounds) of debris were removed from the area.
o One referral for an RV (parked adjacent to the private parcel) was made for the Grayson
Street Safe Parking Program and was accepted. One RV, known to be unoccupied, was
towed.
o No arrests/citations were issued.
o On the private parcel:
▪ Five tents were unattended and were removed. Nothing was stored as there
were serious health hazards including numerous loose and scattered syringes.
▪ Three tents/structures were attended at the time of the operation; two
voluntarily relocated. The third did not and so was not removed, and will be
addressed at a later time.
▪ Two shelter offers were made to Horizon and one was accepted.

On Tuesday, April 19, 2022 the Homeless Response Team performed a deep cleaning of the 2nd Street
Corridor from Cedar to Camelia in West Berkeley. The scope of the operation was to remove the huge
accumulation of debris and rodent harborage conditions in the area, which negatively affects both the
residents and the surrounding businesses. No one was required to move or relocate, nor to part with
anything they did not want to. This report provides a brief after-action summary of the operation and its
outcomes:
• Scope and Reason for the operation:
o The target area was 2nd Street between Camelia and Cedar, as well as Page St between
2nd and Eastshore.
o A large accumulation of debris, trash, and hazardous materials (large quantities of loose
and uncapped syringes, human waste, appliances, flammable materials like propane
tanks and gasoline containers) and rodent harborage conditions (open and rotting food
sources) in the public right of way that required a dedicated crew to fully address.
o Recent fires in the area (one on the southwest corner of 2nd and Page that destroyed an
RV, another on Page St between Eastshore and 2nd) pose safety risks to the unsheltered
as well as the surrounding business community.
• Outreach/Assessment and Notification Efforts:
o Neighborhood Services staff performed a site assessment on April 11 and noted 20 RVs
and 8 tents/structures in the target area. On the day of the operation, staff noted 19
RVs and 7 tents/structures.
o Written notice was provided to residents in the area on April 12.

City Manager’s Office
o Outreach was provided by Neighborhood Services on April 12, 13, 15, and 18, to inform
residents of the upcoming intervention and make shelter offers. No shelter offers were
accepted.
o Neighborhood Services also coordinated with Street Medicine staff from LifeLong Medical
Care in the week prior to the operation, allowing outreach from trusted (non-City)
providers and thus providing additional notice and preparation for the operation.
• Outcomes:
o 11.67 tons (23,340 pounds) of debris were removed from the area.
o Shelter was offered to 2 individuals but it was declined.
o Animal Services was engaged to assess two RVs with dogs on Page St, including one with
a suspected abandoned/neglected dog inside. Notice was provided and Animal Care
Services will continue to engage.
o No arrests/citations were issued.

On Tuesday, August 31, 2022 the Homeless Response Team (HRT) closed the vehicle and tent
encampments along 2nd and Page Streets in West Berkeley. Beginning in September, this area has been
undergoing major street and sidewalk construction as part of the Gilman/I-80 interchange project.
Phase II of this construction project, which includes 2nd St from Camelia to Page and the north side of
Page St from 2nd to Eastshore, is scheduled to begin on December 1. To meet this deadline, the scope of
the present operation was to remove all tents and vehicles in the construction corridor. This report
provides a brief after-action summary of the operation and its outcomes:
• Scope and Reason for the operation:
o The target area for the operation was the north side of Page St between Eastshore Hwy
to 2nd St, and 2nd St from Page St north to Camelia St. Beginning in September, the
greater area has been undergoing major street and sidewalk construction as part of the
Gilman/I-80 interchange project, with Phase II in the target area beginning on December
1. Neighborhood Services and Public Works have been coordinating closely with
CalTrans on construction phasing and timing.
o The target area was found to be in violation of the City’s street and sidewalk policies
(BMC sections 14.48.020 and 14.48.120).
o Growing accumulation of debris, trash, and hazardous materials (syringes, rodent
harborage conditions) in the public right of way.
• Brief Site Assessment
o The Homeless Response Team has performed numerous assessments of the target area
alongside outreach efforts. On both November 15 and Nov 12 (date of first and second
rounds of written noticing, respectively), staff observed 6 residents and 4 trailers/RVs,
and posted 10-12 written notices. On the day of the operation, staff encountered 6
residents and 3 trailers/RVs remaining in the construction area.
Page 115 of 127
272
CC 10-15-2024
272 of 328
City Manager’s Office
o The HRT repeatedly observed numerous health and safety violations in the area,
including loose and scattered syringes; live and dead rodents and rodent harborage
conditions including accumulated trash and debris and open food sources; and debris
and belongings, including tents, spilling into the lane of traffic.
• Outreach/Assessment and Notification Efforts:
o The HRT as well as the City’s contracted homeless providers have provided regular
outreach to this area for many months, including garbage service and the provision of a
port-a-potty and wash station.
o Beginning in August, once the HRT learned of the timeline for construction in the target
area, Neighborhood Services convened a weekly case conference of numerous
contracted homeless providers and outreach workers, including representatives from
HHCS and Alameda County, to build a robust by-name list of everyone in the area, with
the goal of (1) connecting them to as many services and housing opportunities as
possible; (2) coordinating their care across multiple agencies; and (3) providing thorough
and advance notification of the upcoming construction and City encampment
interventions to prepare for it.
o Two rounds of written notice of the operation were provided to residents in the area
(on Nov 15 and 22), providing 2 weeks of formal notice. This was accompanied by
outreach to explain the scope and purpose of the operation to residents in the area,
along with the distribution of maps to clearly identify the construction zone to be
vacated.
o No Parking/Tow Away signage was posted on November 23, providing more than 72
hours’ notice.
• Outcomes:
o All residents, including those living in vehicles, voluntarily relocated by or before the
morning of the operation. Shelter was not offered on the morning of the operation, as
the population in the area had been previously offered shelter and had all declined. HRT
will continue to collaborate with our nonprofit service providers to assist these residents
into permanent housing wherever possible and as outreach resources allow.
o No vehicles being used as residences were towed, but three passenger vehicles (all
unattended and inoperative) were towed to impound, one after having received
targeted treatment to abate rodents living in the vehicle.
o 5.75 tons (11,500 pounds) of debris were removed from the area. As residents were
given ample notice to vacate, as well as some time during the morning of the operation
to remove a last round of wanted belongings, no storage for belongings was provided.
o No arrests/citations were issued.

• East Side of Page at 2nd Street
o Upon arrival there had been some voluntary removal. There needed to be a bit more
for the sanitary sewer project access gate to be fully accessible for construction
equipment to safely come in and out. There was one Berkeley Inn referral to a
resident in the area which was accepted. He stated that he would need help
transporting his dogs’ belongings which BPD agreed to. He then biked over to the
motel where he met with a member of the Neighborhood Services Team and was
successfully moved in. While the other residents in the area remained, some did in
fact voluntarily reduce their footprint by sorting through belongings and disposing to
the Public Works crew.
• 2nd Street Between Cedar and Page
o Upon arrival previously there had been a fire in the area where a vehicle was
completely burned and displaced 3 people. The owner of the vehicle stated the
vehicle could be removed he would need a notice of when that was to take place
so that he had time to salvage some of his personal belongings he wished to keep,
that requested was accepted by the Neighborhood Services Team and he was
given notice on 3/17/2023 providing him 6 days to gather what he needed. There
was no shelter provided, the owner was able to establish shelter for himself within
the corridor. The vehicle was stripped of all the metal and was not in the same
condition as it was on the day which notice was provided, this was not done by
the owner. It was later during the clean-up that the resident stated he would be
utilizing a vehicle on scene to transport the material, but the vehicle was
determined to in fact be stolen and the owner of the vehicle was contacted. He
came to retrieve the vehicle. The individual originally wanting to utilize the
vehicle to transport the material stated he was housed and left the scene. The
driver of the stolen vehicle is someone which the Neighborhood Services Team is
familiar with and had previously placed into a motel, she had left the scene
shortly after arriving stating a claim that she had lost the keys and was going
elsewhere to retrieve a spare and never returning while staff was on scene. The
frame of the burnt RV was towed after being stripped of debris.
o On the East side of 2nd between Page and Cedar there was a makeshift structural
shelter made of plywood and pallets which caught fire and was engulfed in flames
within a matter of seconds. Fire arrived on scene determined there was no one
inside and extinguished the fire. The fire captain expressed his safety concern for
the recent fires in the area stating they have been responding to fires in the area
daily.
• No arrests/citations were issued.
• No storage pursuant to AR 10.1 provided.

Reasons for Recommendation
The City periodically adopts minor amendments to the Cupertino Municipal Code to
reflect changes in law and circumstances and improve the administration of City
business. Attachments A and B present proposed amendments to the Municipal Code.
The following changes to the Cupertino Municipal Code are recommended:
Chapter 15.04: The proposed ordinance repeals Chapter 15.04 in its entirely
because the City does not set rates and charges for use of the Municipal Water
System. Rather, the rates are addressed by the lease between the City and San
Jose Water Company and are tied to rates set by the California Public Utility
Commission.
Section 2.32.060: Minor amendments are proposed to clarify Planning
Commission voting requirements; the amendments are declarative of existing
law.
Chapter 2.74: Amendments to Chapter 2.74 are proposed to (1) allow non-citizen
Cupertino residents to serve as members of the Technology, Information, and
Communications Commission (TICC); and (2) modernize the jurisdiction of the
TICC to reflect changes in state law, current practices of the Commission, and
increased awareness of the risks posed by the misuse of technology. At its
287
CC 10-15-2024

September 25 meeting, the TICC reviewed the proposed amendments to Chapter
2.74 without objection.
Section 2.86.010: Amendments are proposed to conform Section 2.86.010 with
other amendments to Chapter 2.86 adopted in March 2024 (Ordinance No. 24-
2256).
Section 11.08.180: Transportation Division staff recommends amending Section
11.08.180 to allow bicycle riding on two sections of sidewalk, to facilitate
connectivity to the Regnart Creek Trail.
Section 13.04.020: An amendment is proposed to clarify that the City Manager
may delegate authority under Chapter 13.04 to their selected designee (e.g., the
Parks and Recreation Director).
Section 13.04.130: An amendment is proposed to prohibit the use of drones in
City parks, except in areas designated by the Parks and Recreation Department.

reading at the November 4 City Council meeting.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: October 15, 2024
Subject
Unassign funds from the Committed Sales Tax Repayment Reserve
Recommended Action
Approve an amendment to the City’s Committed, Unassigned Fund Balance, and Use of
One Time Funds Policy to uncommit $74.5 million dollars from the Sales Tax Repayment
Reserve, resulting in those funds becoming unassigned fund balance
Reasons for recommendation
The City has reached a settlement with California Department of Tax and Fee
Administration (CDTFA) on previously disputed sales and use tax revenues.
Background
CDTFA is responsible for administering the distribution of sales and use tax in California.
Businesses in California must register for a sales tax permit, collect taxes from customers,
and report their sales taxes accurately and timely. These taxes, along with information
about their allocation to jurisdictions, are then forwarded to the CDTFA, which distributes
them to the appropriate jurisdictions. Additionally, the CDTFA conducts audits on
businesses to ensure compliance with tax laws and regulations.
In October 2023, to prepare for a potential adverse CDTFA decision and the uncertain
outcome of the anticipated legal challenge, City staff recommended, and City Council
approved the establishment of a committed General Fund Sales Tax Repayment Reserve.
Committed fund balance, as described on page 167 of the FY 2024-25 Adopted Budget,
“includes amounts that can only be used for the specific purposes determined by formal
action of the City’s highest level of decision-making authority, the City Council.
Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the City taking the same formal action
that imposed the constraint originally.”
305
CC 10-15-2024
305 of 328
The City Council approved the creation of Sales Tax Repayment Committed Reserve at
$56.5 million for the period covering April 2021 through June 30, 2023. In May 2024, City
Council approved increasing the reserve to $74.5 million to account for the estimated
disputed sales tax to be received through June 30, 2024. In June, the City Council approved
changes to the Committed, Unassigned, and Use of One-Time Fund Balance allowing the Sales
Tax Repayment Reserve to grow up to $77.6 million, accounting for estimated interest
earnings. However, the Council did not take formal action to officially increase the Sales Tax
Repayment Reserve at that time or at the start of the current fiscal year. As a result, staff is
requesting the $74.5 million, approved by Council as part of the FY2023-24 Third Quarter
Financial Report, be uncommitted.
On October 2, the City reached a settlement with CDTFA, rendering the maintenance of
the Sales Tax Repayment Reserve unnecessary. Staff recommends that City Council
uncommit the funds in Sales Tax Repayment Reserve and transfer the funds to the
unassigned fund balance. Unassigned fund balance is defined in page 167 of the FY 2024-
25 Final budget as “the residual classification for the General Fund and includes all
amounts not contained in other classifications. Unassigned amounts are technically
available for any purpose”, and the General Fund is the only fund that would have an
unassigned fund balance, as other fund types (e.g., Special Revenue, Debt Service, Capital
Projects, Enterprise, and Internal Service) are either restricted, committed, or assigned.”
Sustainability Impact
No Sustainability Impact.
Fiscal Impact
Uncommitting the funds does not appropriate the dollars for spending. Council must take
formal action as part of the budget process to appropriate the funds for use.
Staff will bring a proposed spending plan for these one-time dollars to Council for review and
approval as part of the FY 2024-25 First Quarter Financial Report in November.
Uncommitted dollars will become unassigned fund balance. Total estimated Fund Balance in
the General Fund will remain unchanged from the FY 2024-25 Final Budget at $150.8 million.

Committed, Unassigned Fund Balance, and Use of One Time
Funds Policy
Purpose
To establish assigned and unassigned fund balance and one‐time use policies.
Scope
The General Fund and Capital Funds.
Policy
To maintain sufficient committed and unassigned fund balance (General Fund only) in
each fund for the ability to meet the following economic uncertainties:
Economic Uncertainty Reserve – $21,329,593 and represents two months of General
Fund (GF) expenditures excluding transfers out plus a two year drop in total general fund
revenue of 13% or approximately 1.5 months, excluding the use of reserves. Transfers out
are primarily used to fund Capital Projects and do not represent on‐going expenditures.
This assignment will change from year to year based on budgeted general fund
expenditures and revenues.
Mitigate short‐term economic downturns and volatility in revenues (2 years or
less)
Sustain city services in the event of an emergency
Meet requirements for debt reserves
Meet operating cash flow requirements as a result of delay in the receipt of taxes,
grant proceeds and other operating revenues
Sales Tax Repayment Reserve – $77,554,500,000 and represents the funds committed for
potential sales tax repayments. The result of the California Department of Tax and Fee
Administration (CDTFA) audit of a City taxpayer is expected to have significant financial
implications for the City’s operations. To prepare for a potential adverse CDTFA decision
and the uncertain outcome of the anticipated legal challenge, the City established a
General Fund Sales Tax Repayment Reserve. The purpose of this reserve is to set aside
funds for potential sales tax repayments to the CDTFA. An initial allocation of $56.5
million corresponds to sales tax revenue received between April 2021 and June 2023 that
the City may need to repay to the CDTFA. All or part of the funds will be transferred to
General Fund Unassigned if the City’s efforts to contest CDTFA’s decision are ultimately
successful, in whole or in part.
This reserve can be augmented when additional disputed sales tax revenue is received.

CC 10-15-2024

PERS – $19,088,859 and represents the funds restricted for the Cityʹs pension obligations.
In response to the increasing retirement costs based on actuarial forecasts, the City
created a secondary pension trust to help stabilize the impact of pension cost volatility
on the Cityʹs operating budget. To fund this secondary trust, the City made an initial
contribution. After that, the annual contributions are determined based on the difference
between CalPERSʹ current discount rate and a more conservative rate determined by the
City. This difference will then be transferred to the pension trust and used exclusively for
the benefit of members in the plan.
The primary goal of establishing this secondary trust is to ensure that the City can
continue to provide its employees with the retirement benefits they have earned while
maintaining fiscal responsibility. By using a more conservative rate for calculating
contributions, the City can better anticipate and manage pension costs and mitigate
potential negative impacts on the Cityʹs budget.
Funds in this trust are technically “restricted” under Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54 in that the funds are legally restricted to be
used for retirement costs; however, the timing for which these funds may be used is only
at the discretion of City Council.
Sustainability Reserve – Cupertino’s Sustainability Division oversees the City’s Climate
Action Plan (CAP), which defines strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and
provides residents, businesses and schools with programs and services focused on
energy efficiency, renewable energy, water conservation, alternative transportation and
other sustainable actions. The City receives rebates for projects that successfully meet the
eligibility requirements such as energy or water efficiency. If the rebates were not initially
budgeted, they are categorized as committed fund balance in the General Fund. The
purpose of this reserve is to help support future sustainability projects/programs.
Unassigned – $500,000 and represents 1% of the total general fund operating
budget. This assignment may change from year to year based on budgeted general fund
expenditures.
Absorb unanticipated operating needs that arise during the fiscal year that were
not anticipated during the budget process
Absorb unexpected claims or litigation settlements
Capital Improvement – $5,000,000 and represents average dollars spent for capital
projects in the last three fiscal years. This assignment may change from year to year based
on actuals dollars spent on capital projects and anticipated future capital project needs.
Meet future capital project needs so as to minimize future debt obligations

Reporting Councilmember: Councilmember Liang Chao
Report Dates: 9/25/24 to 10/9/24
Section 1: Activities by Date (Date, Title, and Description):
NOTE:
● This list does not include internal meetings with staff only, such as prep sessions or meetings with
the City Manager.
● This list includes activities to “represent the community I am elected to serve”, “to respond to
community needs and complaints,” and “to communicate policies and programs to residents,”
among other responsibilities of a City Councilmember.
● Due to my work schedule, I have cut down on the event attendance for ceremonial purposes,
especially those I have attended almost every year in the past. Instead, I focus more of my time on
constituent services.
2024-09-17 Questions on TBD list Investment Policy - Estimated Interest Earnings
- For each $10M that are not put in an account earning 1% more interest, we lose $100,000 of
interest income that we could have earned. So, for each $20M that are not put in an account that
might earn 3% more in interest, we lose $600,000 a year.
2024-09-27 Attended Multicultural Festival at Hyde Middle School
- This is the second time I have attended the Multicultural Festival at Hyde. The attendees came
from feeder schools, such as Eisenhower, and also nearby high schools. There were wonderful
performances and food from all over the world. Some countries were hosted by only one or two
Hyde families, such as Iran and Italian, while other countries have a large number of families,
such as Taiwan, India and China.
- The most touching moment was when I saw a group of girls sitting at a table while a Chinese-
looking girl was drawing the delicate Mehndi on the hand of another girl, while others were
watching with interest.These girls come from different ethnicities. A true multicultural moment.

Hindu community of North America. The coalition seeks to protect the collective interests of the

2024-09-29 Attended the Silicon Valley Residents Rally for Public Safety to support Prop. 36

murder for any drug overdose caused by the product they sell.
2024-10-01 My Response to Residents - about HE and the frustrating process (email)
2024-10-01 My response on the absence of Councilmember Wei since mid July (email)
- A resident asked whether Gov. Code 36513 (Absence without permission from council meetings
for 60 days from the last regular meeting) applies, which states “If a city councilmember is absent
without permission from all regular city council meetings for 60 days consecutively from the last
regular meeting he or she attended, his or her office becomes vacant and shall be filled as any
other vacancy.”.
- My response based on what I know in email: “As far as I know, the last regular council meeting
Councilmember Wei attended was the July 16 Council meeting. … That makes it 77 days from the
July 16 Council meeting.”
- At the 10/1 Council meeting, the Council asked the City Attorney for a memo to clarify this.

September 6 Steering Committee Meeting Summary (Draft)
2024-10-04 Inquiries about Finch Property
- Before and after the Aug. 22, 2024 CUSD Board Meeting, multiple residents have reached out
about the city’s response to CUSD on the Finch property. Thus, I followed up to inquire about it.
- The City Manager responded “Chad and I met with CUSD representatives to discuss properties
that the District currently owned, per CUSD Board’s direction. The City was asked if there is any
plan to lease or purchase the Finch property. I informed CUSD that the City has no plan to either
lease or purchase the Finch property. This is not part of the current CIP project and the City was
in no financial condition to make any further purchase.”
2024-10-5 Flag Raising Ceremony of Taiwan Double Tenth Day at County Building
- Presented a Proclamation to the organizing committee of the event. Gave a speech about
Cupertino’s various connections with Taiwan, from sistership city with Hsinchu and friendship
city with Taichung, Yilan and New Taipei City, the Kids Fun Festival and Night Market at De
Anza College. Introduced other elected officials with Taiwanese ancestry from the school
districts.
2024-10-06 Attended the Tai Ji Meng Anniversary Celebration for their Cupertino location and the
new location in Santa Clara
- They presented their message for World Peace.
2024-10-06 Attended Bollywood Dance Night at the Quinlan Center
- The dance party is organized by a Cupertino resident and the tickets are sold out. The most
wonderful feast is the many colorful pretty Indian dresses.
2024-10-07 - blocking free speech zone in front of the library
- Multiple residents have reached out about this issue, so I followed it up with some inquiries.
- Per California Election Code, there is no campaigning allowed within 100 feet of a ballot box,
even though the law was originally meant for the voting center on Election Day.
- Even though no one actually fills out their ballot right at the ballot box, the Election Code
319
CC 10-15-2024

prevents any campaign materials within 100 feet of the ballot box for the entire month around
every ballot box.
- The area right in front of the Cupertino Library entrance has been a traditional open forum
area, where different groups collect signatures to support petitions or advocate for their causes.
- When the city put the ballot box near the entrance of the Library in the past, Cupertino residents
have reached out to the City to avoid that location.
- In the past, the City had complied with the request by residents and moved the ballot box in front
of the City Hall or in front of the Coffee Society.
- But somehow this year, the City of Cupertino has forgotten about the past promises to the
residents and now has put the ballot box right in front of the Library entrance.
2024-10-08 Response to inquiries about political signs removed from Bollinger Road
- Multiple residents have reached out about this issue and referenced the San Jose Spotlight article.
- City Manager responded: “city staff inadvertently removed these signs and I provided an
apology to both Ms. Moore and Mr. Wang. We will also be responsible for reimbursing fully the
cost of these signs.“
- The Code Enforcement process outlined by the Code Enforcement Officer Mr. Trybus in 2018 .
- Relevant Muni Code for the removal of Political Signs
- A list of questions which I normally ask on a code enforcement case to understand the situation -

2024-10-08 Inquiry on Perimeter Fence separating Vallco site from our neighborhood (email) -
response pending
Section 2: Committee Assignment
- No meeting this period.
Section 3: Other Information of Interest to My Constituents:
1. Update on the Vallco (the Rise) project (see the 2024-10-01 report)
2. Housing Element Update
- Highlights of the HE: 4,588 units are required for the HE, but the current HE has planned
5,881 units, about 28% more than required. (May 14 Agenda Item 1, Minutes)
- By not counting 1,500 units in already approved projects and underestimating the
realistic capacity for mixed use projects (counting only 70%), Cupertino upzoned
more properties than required to meet the RHNA requirements.

- The density (units/acre) of many sites will increase from 20 units/acre to 50-65
units/acre and some will increase to 65-80 units/acre.
- Some R1 lots in residential neighborhoods are upzoned to R3-TH designation to
allow 5-10 units/acre.
- R1 corner lots will be allowed to develop with R2 standards to allow duplex, triplex
or quadruplex. (Every R1 lot already allows up to 3 ADUs due to state laws)
- Broken HE Process so far….
- The final draft of the Housing Element and the General Plan amendment are
approved by the majority of the Council on May 14. Unfortunately, the
environmental impact analysis has minimal information, even though we are
looking at an unprecedented growth rate with over 6,200 units to be permitted in 8
years.
- Although this is the first Council meeting where the draft Housing Element is on
the agenda for discussion, there were no written answers provided from the staff,
as normally provided for other items on the Council agenda. Given the time
constraints, only a few questions were covered on the dais. Thus, many questions
from the community and the council members still left unanswered:
- Here are some questions submitted and some with answers: 15 more
questions without answers, questions are corner lots with answers,
additional questions from the community without answers.
- The result of the broken process is that Cupertino up-zoned 2,600 units more than the
legally required 4,588 units. This overly densifies Cupertino than necessary and leaving
little room for adjustment in the future.
- Latest: The ordinance to upzone properties is adopted at the July 2 Council meeting
(Agenda Item 7, Minutes)
- The staff recommendation already meets all legal standards and HCD’s
requirements, but Cupertino adopted an ordinance to upzone thes HE sites plus
unnecessary provisions proposed by Councilmembers Fruen and Wei to relax the
321

zoning standards.
- Chao moved and Moore seconded to approve the staff recommended action
with minor adjustments. The motion did not pass. Councilmembers Fruen
and Wei proposed several significant revisions to relax the zoning
standards after the public comment closed, which increased allowed floor-
area-ratio, increased allowed lot coverage, reduced parking standards.
reduced setback and given the staff authority to make more changes to
increase “flexibility”. The Council voted 3-2 to pass the much relaxed
zoning standards.
- Next Step: There will be design standard updates, such as R2 standards for the corner lots. and
other ordinances to implement the policies outlined in the Housing Element.
Section 4: Information Access Useful to My Constituents:
1. “Written Communication” for a City Council meeting:
- When will an email sent to the City Council be included in the “Written Communication” file of a
Council meeting?
- From the City Clerk:
- Emailed comments that are related to an agenda item and received following the agenda
publication prior to or during the meeting will be posted to the City’s website.
- Emailed comments related to non-agenda items and received following the agenda
publication prior to or during the meeting will be posted upon request only if it is
forwarded by a councilmember, to comply with the Muni Code.
2. Recordings of Commission Meetings:
Starting in June, commission meetings will be recorded for viewing later, although no
teleconferencing to allow remote participation.
- Find the recordings here under each commission.
3. SB 330 Preliminary Application and Builders’ Remedy Projects
- An info memo is published on July 25: “Scofield Drive SB330 Preliminary Application
pursuant to Builder’s Remedy” was posted (The memo was requested by the Council at the
July 2 Council meeting after hearing public concerns on the project)
- The memo also includes a list of eight SB330 applications received so far. Four of them are
utilizing the Builders’ Remedy (BR) provisions of HAA".
