01 - January 31, 2025 - Goal Setting Workshop Preparation – Council Revised Top 10 Projects_AmendedCITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Date: January 31, 2025
To: Cupertino City Council
From: Tina Kapoor, Deputy City Manager
Re: Goal Setting Workshop Preparation – Council Revised Top 10 Projects
In November 2024, the City began the process for the FY 2025-2027 Council Goal Setting and
Prioritization Workshop (Workshop). Staff laid out an approach in an Informational
Memorandum, which can be found on the City Work Program Webpage along with subsequent
materials further outlining the process thus far .
At the January 22 City Council meeting, staff provided a comprehensive overview of the City Work
Program (CWP) and a detailed approach for the upcoming prioritization Workshop. Council
accepted the following staff recommendations and established the ranking methodology for FY
2025-2027 City Work Program priority projects at the upcoming Workshop:
1.Review each Councilmember’s 10 projects for the FY 2025-2027 CWP.
2.Receive a verbal overview of the prioritization process to finalize the CWP at the
Workshop.
3.Confirm meeting date for upcoming Workshop.
Next Steps: Three-Step Process Before the Workshop
In preparation for the upcoming Prioritization Workshop, scheduled for Monday, March 3, staff
has outlined a structured approach to ensure a productive discussion below:
Step One – Council’s Revision of Top Projects List
Each Councilmember is asked to review their initial list of priority projects and revise the list to
reflect their highest-priority initiatives based on discussions at the January 22 City Council
meeting.
The original proposed list (Attachment A) and initial Councilmember top projects (Attachment B)
are included for Council to consider when selecting their revised list. All projects should align with
the five adopted Council Goals 1 as they help to focus the CWP items and ensure that the work

completed remains aligned with expressed priorities.
Councilmembers will submit their revised top projects list using the blank submission form
included in this memorandum as Attachment C via email to Deputy City Manager, Tina Kapoor
at tinak@cupertino.gov.
Councilmembers are requested to submit the revised lists no later than Monday, February 10 to
allow adequate time for staff to consolidate the revised lists and move to the next step.
Step Two – Staff Analysis and Preparation
Staff will consolidate and analyze the submitted revised priority lists and prepare a refined draft
of the collective priority list, along with feasibility assessments and resource implications. This
information and ranking instructions will be published with the agenda and meeting materials a
week in advance of the Workshop.
Step Three – Council Ranking Methodology
Each Councilmember will use the following agreed upon ranking methodology to select a total of
20 projects on the consolidated list. Projects will be ranked as follows:
• Up to 5 projects will get a score of 10
• Up to 5 projects will get a score of 7
• Up to 5 projects will get a score of 4
• Up to 5 projects will get a score of 1
Councilmembers are requested to submit their final rankings to Deputy City Manager, Tina
Kapoor at tinak@cupertino.gov by Friday, February 28. All received rankings will be posted as a
Desk Item on March 3, prior to the Workshop.
CWP Prioritization Workshop on March 3
At the Workshop, Council will review the consolidated rankings to finalize the FY 2025-2027 CWP
projects that align with operational capacity, departmental feasibility, and resource requirements.
Additional details will be provided on this process at the workshop to guide discussions and
facilitate consensus.
Staff appreciates Council’s engagement in this process and look forward to a productive workshop.
Please reach out to Deputy City Manager, Tina Kapoor, if you have any questions or need
additional information.

Enhance Senior Services Due to the high cost of senior centers, many seniors have to "age in place", but do still need services
typically provided in senior centers, in addition to common home maintenance.‐
‐ Utilizing the survey results conducted in 2022 and 2023 to meet the needs of Cupertino seniors
‐ Consider consultant services similar to Palo Alto or Saratoga Senior Center to enhance services, while
reducing cost to the city.
NOTE: Cupertino Age‐Friendly could make a presentation on the result of 2023 survey, in collaboration
with the city staff.

Defensible Impact Fee Nexus Study for
Traffic Impact Fee, Retail Impact Fee,
BMR Impact Fee
With almost every infill project approval and revision, we are losing almost all retail with almost zero
parking. New units tend to provide more town homes, rather than much needed smaller starter units or
senior flats. With potential challenges to waive impact fees and design standards, a defensible Nexus
study is necessary to protect the city in order to collect impact fees since California Constitution does
not allow unfunded mandates levied on cities.

* Consider increasing notification radius from 300 feet to 500 feet (or even 1000 feet for major projects)
for any project application, especially those requiring a general plan amendment.
*Consider additional notification requirements for any project application seeking waivers of existing
standards, such as parking reduction, building height, setback, retail space reduction, and impact fees.
NOTE: For city‐wide general plan amendment, notification through the newspaper has been insufficient.
