Crude prices retreated from their near-term peak after diplomatic overtures eased fears of a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz, though the conflict continues to fuel market volatility. Inflation cooled meaningfully in June after the recent run-up tied to tariffs and conflict-related uncertainty. Growth slowed from the first quarter’s pace, while hiring continued at a moderated clip. The Chandler team continues to expect the Federal Reserve to hold the federal funds rate steady through the remainder of 2026, provided actual and market-based measures of inflation remain contained. The Federal Open Market Committee held the federal funds rate at 3.50%to 3.75% during its July 28 to 29 meeting, extending its policy pause into a fifth consecutive gathering. Three regional Reserve Bank presidents, Cleveland's Beth Hammack, Minneapolis's Neel Kashkari, and Dallas's Lorie Logan, dissented in favor of raising rates by a quarter point, citing inflation that has stayed above target for more than five years. Chair Kevin Warsh,in his second meeting leading the Committee, again declined to offer explicit forward guidance, preferring instead to let incoming data dictate the timing of any future move. The balance sheet runoff continued without modification. Officials next convene September 15 to 16. Treasury yields advanced across the curve in July, with the two-year note ending the month at 4.29%, the five-year at 4.45%, and the ten- year at 4.74%. The two-year to ten-year spread narrowed to 45 basis points from 69 basis points at year end, while the three-month bill to ten-year spread widened to roughly 97 basis points. Because the two-year yield rose more than the ten-year yield over the year to date, the curve has flattened rather than steepened, a shift driven by growing expectations that the Federal Reserve may need to raise rates rather than cut before year end. The two-year to ten-year spread has averaged near 95 basis points since 2005,underscoring how compressed the relationship between short and long maturities remains relative to that longer run norm.

Revisions to the prior two months further weakened the picture: May payroll growth was revised down to 63,000 from 129,000, erasing 66,000 jobs, while June was revised down to 20,000 from 57,000, a 37,000-job reduction. Together, the revisions reduced employment growth in May and June by 103,000 positions.By industry, local government education led July’s declines, shedding 50,000 jobs, followed by leisure and hospitality (-40,000) and retail trade (-19,000). Health care partially offset those losses, adding 22,000 jobs. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate edged down to 4.1%, due in part to a modest decline in labor force participation.

Transportation, warehousing, and utilities posted the largest increase in openings (+97,000), followed by the federal government (+39,000).In contrast, openings declined in wholesale trade (-74,000) and nondurable-goods manufacturing (-55,000). The broadly stable levels of hiring, quits, and layoffs point to a labor market that is cooling gradually rather than deteriorating sharply, even as the July payroll report signaled unexpected weakness.

The advance reflected renewed hostilities between the United States and Iran, which intermittently disrupted tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a corridor that historically traffics roughly a fifth of global crude and natural gas supply. Prices retreated from their intramonth highs late in July as diplomatic overtures raised hopes for a durable ceasefire, though the stop-and-start nature of the conflict left a persistent risk premium embedded in oil markets. AAA’s national average for regular gasoline held at $4.09 a gallon to end July. 2.00 2.50 3.00 3.50 4.00 4.50 5.00 5.50 6.00 6.50 US Fuel Prices Average Retail Price US Diesel Average Retail Price US Gas ($ ) Pe r G a l l o n 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 Oil Prices West Texas Intermediate (WTI Spot Cushing) Dated Brent (Global Spot) Pr i c e Pe r B a r r e l ( W T I S p o t ) 6 40 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 44 of 266 0.0% 1.0% 2.0% 3.0% 4.0% 5.0% 6.0% 7.0% 8.0% Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) PCE Price Deflator YOY % Change PCE Core Deflator YOY % Change Fed Target YO Y ( % ) C h a n g e 0.0% 1.0% 2.0% 3.0% 4.0% 5.0% 6.0% 7.0% 8.0% 9.0% 10.0% Consumer Price Index (CPI) CPI YOY % Change Core CPI YOY % Change YO Y ( % ) C h a n g e Inflation decelerated sharply in June, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) falling 0.4%on the month—its largest decline since the onset of the pandemic in 2020—and bringing the annual rate down to 3.5% from 4.2%in May. Core CPI (excluding food and energy) was flat on the month and rose 2.6% year over year, both coming in softer than expected after energy-driven pressures pushed inflation to a three-year high earlier in the quarter. The CPI report suggests at least a near-term reprieve in inflation. The Personal Consumption Expenditures Index (PCE), the Fed's preferred gauge, told a similar story: headline PCE fell 0.1% and decelerated to 3.7% annually, while core PCE rose 0.1% and cooled to 3.3% from a year earlier. Both measures remain well above the central bank's longstanding target, and officials have signaled they are unwilling to declare victory given how quickly the disinflationary trend could reverse if oil prices resume climbing.

Retail sales,by contrast, advanced 0.2%in June and 6.7% year over year, a fifth consecutive month of growth even as gas station receipts fell 5.3% alongside softer pump prices. The divergence between softening sentiment and resilient spending illustrates a familiar pattern this cycle, with consumers still opening their wallets despite voicing unease about the broader economy. A labor market that remains robust, even as hiring decelerates, appears to be underpinning this spending for now. 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 In d e x L e v e l Consumer Confidence Recession Source: US Department of Commerce Source: The Conference Board All time high is 144.70 (1/31/00); All time low is 25.30 (2/28/09) CONSUMER 8 42 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 46 of 266 -25.0% -20.0% -15.0% -10.0% -5.0% 0.0% 5.0% 10.0% 15.0% Leading Economic Indicators (LEI) Recession YO Y (% ) C h a n g e -1.00 -0.75 -0.50 -0.25 0.00 0.25 0.50 0.75 1.00 Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) Recession 3 M o n t h A v e r a g e Data from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago showed the National Activity Index (CFNAI) improving to -0.02 in June from -0.19 in May, while its smoother three-month moving average rose to -0.05. Both measures remain well above the -0.70 level that has historically preceded recessions, indicating the economy is still expanding, albeit below trend, rather than contracting. The Conference Board’s Leading Economic Index (LEI) painted a more cautious picture, falling 0.2%in June and erasing some of the gains seen earlier in the spring. Weak consumer expectations and a decline in building permits were the main drags, partly offset by the yield spread’s contribution.

Housing starts also rebounded in June, rising to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.427 million, a 19%increase from an upwardly revised 1.199 million in May. The gain was driven primarily by multifamily construction, with starts surging more than 76%month over month to 532,000 units, while single-family starts edged down slightly to 895,000. Freddie Mac’s average 30-year fixed mortgage rate rose to 6.49%in late June from 6.44%in May, continuing to weigh on affordability for prospective buyers.

Readings above 50 indicate expansion, while those below 50 indicate contraction, leaving both headline indexes firmly in expansionary territory. However, elevated prices-paid components in both surveys indicate that input-cost pressures remain persistent, despite broader cooling in headline inflation measures.

Consumer spending and business investment contributed positively, while a pullback in government outlays and rising imports, which subtract from growth, weighed on the result. The deceleration reflects lingering tariff related cost pressures and the energy disruptions tied to the conflict in the Middle East.As this is the advance estimate, the Bureau of Economic Analysis will publish two additional revisions as more complete data arrives.

Chair Kevin Warsh, sworn in earlier this year, has continued winding down forward guidance from post meeting communications, arguing markets should focus on incoming data rather than anticipated rhetoric. The balance sheet continued its gradual runoff without any announced change to the pace of reduction. Minutes also noted that the conflict in the Middle East has complicated officials' read on how persistent current inflation will prove.

The gap between the three-month bill and the ten-year note widened to 97 basis points, while the more closely watched two-year-to-ten-year spread widened to 45 basis points after a 24 basis points intramonth low in June. That divergence suggests recent yield increases have been concentrated in the shorter and intermediate maturities rather than lifting the entire curve uniformly. The overall shape continues to imply that markets see a near-term recession as unlikely, even as uncertainty about the Federal Reserve’s next move has increased since the July meeting.

Our valuation procedures are also disclosed in Item 5 of our Form ADV Part 2A. Performance results are presented gross-of-advisory fees and represent the client’s Total Return. The deduction of advisory fees lowers performance results. These results include the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Past performance may not be indicative of future results. Therefore, clients should not assume that future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy will be profitable or equal to past performance levels. All investment strategies have the potential for profit or loss. Economic factors, market conditions or changes in investment strategies, contributions or withdrawals may materially alter the performance and results of your portfolio. Index returns assume reinvestment of all distributions. Historical performance results for investment indexes generally do not reflect the deduction of transaction and/or custodial charges or the deduction of an investment management fee, the incurrence of which would have the effect of decreasing historical performance results.

Fixed income investments are subject to interest, credit and market risk. Interest rate risk: the value of fixed income investments will decline as interest rates rise. Credit risk: the possibility that the borrower may not be able to repay interest and principal. Low rated bonds generally have to pay higher interest rates to attract investors willing to take on greater risk. Market risk: the bond market in general could decline due to economic conditions, especially during periods of rising interest rates. Ratings information have been provided by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch through data feeds we believe to be reliable as of the date of this statement, however we cannot guarantee its accuracy. Security level ratings for U.S. Agency issued mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) reflect the issuer rating because the securities themselves are not rated. The issuing U.S. Agency guarantees the full and timely payment of both principal and interest. LGIP Yields: Reported yields for local government investment pools may be presented as either the 30-day yield or the monthly distribution yield, as applicable. For certain funds, the 30-day yield is calculated using reported daily yield data. Yield calculations are subject to change and may not be directly comparable across funds. LAIF Yields: Additional Disclosure for CA Clients - As a result of a reporting lag from the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), reported LAIF yields represent the most recently available Daily Effective Yield and may reflect data from approximately 7–10 days prior to month-end. 35 69 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 73 of 266 BENCHMARK DISCLOSURES Benchmark Disclosure ICE BofA 1-5 Yr US Treasury & Agency Index The ICE BofA 1-5 Year US Treasury & Agency Index tracks the performance of US dollar denominated US Treasury and nonsubordinated US agency debt issued in the US domestic market.

Adopt Resolution No. 26-091 Accepting the Annual Evaluation Report for Fiscal Year 2026 (Year 5) of the 2021 Santa Clara County Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information. CITY OF CUPERTINO Printed on 8/26/2026Page 1 of 1 77 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 81 of 266 PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT CITY HALL 10300 TORRE AVENUE • CUPERTINO, CA 95014-5732 TELEPHONE: (408) 777-3354 CUPERTINO.GOV CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Meeting: September 1, 2026 Subject Acceptance of Annual Evaluation Report on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Community Rating System’s (CRS) Program for Public Information. Recommended Action Adopt Resolution No. 26-XXX Accepting the Annual Evaluation Report for Fiscal Year 2026 (Year 5) of the 2021 Santa Clara County Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information. Background The Community Rating System (CRS) is a voluntary program under the FEMA National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) that allows communities to earn flood insurance premium discounts for their residents and businesses by conducting floodplain management activities that exceed NFIP minimum requirements. Communities earn CRS points for activities that promote flood risk reduction practices and encourage the purchase of flood insurance. Activities eligible for CRS points include, flood emergency preparedness planning, maintenance of elevation certificates and benchmarks, open space preservation within the designated floodplain, and public outreach and education of flood risk and flood insurance. The CRS class ratings are assigned to participating communities based on points earned, with each 500-point increment resulting in a better class rating. Each incremental improvement in class rating (CRS class ratings range from 10 to 1) qualifies residents and businesses within the participating community to an additional five percent discount on flood insurance premiums for properties located within a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). For example, 500 points earned would equate to a CRS class rating of 9 (or a five percent discount), 1,000 points earned would equate to a CRS class rating of 8 (or a 10 percent discount), etc. FEMA requires the elected body of each community that participates in the CRS program to approve a five-year Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information (PPI) in order to receive points for the PPI CRS activity. The PPI allows communities to work together on messaging that helps to reduce flood risks and to design a collective outreach program that delivers these messages effectively and efficiently. The number of points earned as a result of having an approved PPI will vary depending on how extensive the program is implemented within each 78 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 82 of 266 participating community’s jurisdiction; however, it is expected to range from 80 to 200 points for communities who participate in the Santa Clara County (County) PPI. Although Valley Water is not a land-use agency, FEMA recognized Valley Water’s already robust public outreach efforts in flood risk reduction messages and approved the classification of Valley Water as a fictitious community within the CRS program. This unique arrangement not only allows Valley Water to act as the lead agency in creating the first PPI for the County but also allows the County communities participating in the CRS program to claim points earned by Valley Water. The Valley Water District Board adopted the first PPI in 2015 for use by communities within the County that participate in the CRS program. The PPI is required to be updated every five years to evaluate the public outreach messaging and to adjust the PPI as needed, and FEMA requires the governing bodies of the participating CRS communities to approve the updated 2021 PPI in order to either begin or continue to earn points. The Valley Water District Board approved the updated 2021 five-year PPI on April 27, 2021, and provided the document to participating jurisdictions for approval and implementation with the communities’ existing CRS programs. In turn, the Cupertino City Council adopted Resolution No. 21-073 approving the 2021 PPI on August 17, 2021. In addition to updating the PPI every five years, FEMA requires an annual evaluation report describing PPI implementation efforts and requires the participating communities to share each annual report with their governing bodies to remain an active PPI participant and continue receiving PPI points. City Council adopted Resolution No. 22-088 accepting the Annual Evaluation Report for FY 22 (Year 1) on July 19, 2022, Resolution No. 23-090 accepting the Annual Evaluation Report for FY 23 (Year 2) on July 18, 2023, Resolution No. 24-076 accepting the Annual Evaluation Report for FY 24 (Year 3) on July 16, 2024, and Resolution No. 25-062 accepting the Annual Evaluation Report for FY 25 (Year 4) on July 15, 2025. Reasons for Recommendation and Available Options Valley Water initiated the preparation of the fifth annual evaluation report by hosting a meeting in May 2026 where staff and stakeholders from each participating community were invited to provide input on their respective PPI project accomplishments for this fiscal year. The Annual Evaluation Report for FY 26 (Year 5) of the 2021 County Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information (Attachment B) is the fifth and final annual evaluation report under the 2021 PPI and is a culmination of the input provided by the participating communities from the May 2026 meeting. The City has participated in the CRS program since 2005. Following a comprehensive five-year review by FEMA in January 2025, the City improved its CRS rating from a Class 7 to a Class 6, in part due to the City’s participation in the PPI, which equates to a 20 percent flood insurance premium discount for properties located within a SFHA, and a 10 percent flood insurance premium discount for properties located outside a SFHA. City property owners pay approximately $65,000 per year in flood insurance premiums (as of August 2026, per the NFIP). The total annual savings to policy holders attributable to the City’s CRS discount is approximately $13,100. 79 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 83 of 266 Neighboring cities have earned similar CRS ratings (Los Altos – 7, Mountain View – 7, Sunnyvale – 7, Palo Alto – 6). The City’s current CRS Class 6 rating is comparable with neighboring jurisdictions and provides reasonable flood insurance premium discounts to Cupertino residents and businesses. Maintaining and improving CRS ratings requires ongoing participation in floodplain management, public outreach, and risk reduction activities. While additional CRS credit opportunities may exist, achieving a Class 5 rating would likely require significant new programmatic efforts and staffing resources beyond the City’s current CRS program. Staff will continue to evaluate opportunities to maintain and enhance the City’s CRS standing as cost- effective measures become available. The City was recently made aware of Valley Water’s decision to discontinue their role as the PPI host. Although the full ramifications of this decision are still unknown, the City could lose some or all of its points for this CRS activity which could result in the City’s CRS rating being returned to a Class 7. With the 2021 PPI sunsetting in FY 26, the participating PPI communities would need to consider leading or co-leading a multi-jurisdictional PPI, creating an individual City PPI, or moving forward without a PPI. On July 31, 2026, the City along with the various PPI communities sent a joint letter to Valley Water requesting they reconsider their decision so they can continue to provide support for the PPI to Cupertino and our neighboring cities (Attachment C). To date, staff have not received a response from Valley Water and will continue to monitor the situation. The City continues to be an active PPI participant. The City’s FY 26 Project Accomplishments are listed starting on Page 12 of the Annual Evaluation Report (Attachment B). Staff recommends adopting the Draft Resolution accepting the Annual Evaluation Report for Fiscal Year 2026 (Year 5) of the 2021 Santa Clara County Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information (Attachment A). By adopting the resolution to accept the annual report, the City is meeting FEMA’s requirements to continue earning points for this CRS activity. Continued participation in the CRS program helps preserve flood insurance premium discounts for Cupertino residents and businesses while supporting ongoing public education and flood risk reduction efforts.

Interim Chief Executive Officer FROM: Chief of External Affairs SUBJECT: FY26 Annual Evaluation Report (Year 5: July 2025 – June 2026) for the 2021 Santa Clara County Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information (PPI) DATE: August 10, 2026 Valley Water continues to support local partners in the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's) National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS) program. The CRS is a voluntary incentive program that recognizes and encourages community floodplain management activities that exceed the minimum NFIP requirements. Through the CRS, flood insurance holders in participating communities receive discounted premium rates to reflect the reduced flood risk. The three goals of the CRS are: 1. Reduce flood damage to insurable property, 2. Strengthen and support the insurance aspects of the NFIP, and 3. Encourage a comprehensive approach to floodplain management. Background Valley Water has supported the local CRS program since 1998. Since Valley Water is not a land-use agency (i.e., city, town, or county), it is not considered an NFIP community and does not technically qualify to participate in the CRS program. Valley Water's flood risk reduction activities throughout Santa Clara County (county) earns CRS credits that are transferred to each CRS participating community, supporting savings on NFIP insurance policies within those jurisdictions. Currently, 11*1 of the 16 communities (cities, towns, and the county) within Santa Clara County participate in the CRS program. FEMA first introduced the Program for Public Information (PPI) as a CRS creditable activity in 2013. The PPI encourages CRS-participating communities to work with local stakeholders to design a community outreach program on flood risk reduction that best fits local needs. This can be done as a single or multi-jurisdictional effort. 2021 Santa Clara County Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information (PPI) On April 27, 2021, the Valley Water Board of Directors adopted the 2021 PPI following completion of the 2015 PPI; the governing bodies of the CRS participating communities adopted the 2021 PPI soon thereafter. In addition to updating the PPI every five years, FEMA requires CRS communities seeking continued CRS credit to complete an Annual Evaluation Report on PPI efforts and share the report with their governing bodies. Attached is the final Annual Evaluation Report for Fiscal Year 26 (Year 5 of the 2021 PPI). Overall, the CRS Users Group/PPI Committee successfully implemented and completed the 2021 PPI in FY26. Please direct questions about the PPI Annual Evaluation Report to Amy Fonseca, Acting Manager, Office of Civic Engagement at (408) 630-3005. *1 Current Participating CRS Communities include: Valley Water and the Cities of Cupertino, Gilroy, Los Altos, Milpitas, Morgan Hill, Mountain View, Palo Alto, San Jose, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale. 85 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 89 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 89 of 266 Melanie Richardson, P.E.

INTRODUCTION The Community Rating System (CRS) is a voluntary program of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The CRS program allows communities to earn flood insurance premium discounts for their residents and businesses by implementing local mitigation, floodplain management, and outreach activities that exceed the minimum NFIP requirements to reduce the risk of flooding. In Santa Clara County, 11 (eleven) communities, including Santa Clara Valley Water District (Valley Water) have actively participated in the FEMA NFIP CRS for over 30 years. The CRS participating communities (CRS communities) are City of Cupertino, City of Gilroy, City of Los Altos, City of Milpitas, City of Morgan Hill, City of Mountain View, City of Palo Alto, City of San Jose, City of Santa Clara, City of Sunnyvale, and the Santa Clara Valley Water District (Valley Water). CRS communities, along with their external non-governmental stakeholders, non-CRS communities: City of Saratoga, Town of Los Altos Hills, Town of Los Gatos, and the County of Santa Clara who opted to join the 2021 Program for Public Information (PPI), comprised the 2021 PPI Committee. The original 2021 PPI Committee is listed in Table 1. Original Members of the Santa Clara County Multi-Jurisdictional 2021 PPI Committee of the 2021 PPI (Attachment 1). Since the development of the 2021 PPI, there may have been changes to the community’s original 2021 PPI Committee members (either the internal representatives to the organization and/or the external stakeholders). Those member changes are noted on the meeting attendance sheets. CRS-creditable PPIs can be single or multi-jurisdictional. For the 2021 PPI, FEMA requires that each CRS community provide at least two representatives to the regional PPI Committee to meet the credit requirement, with at least half of the representatives from outside the local government. Additionally, at least half of the representatives must attend all the meetings of the regional PPI Committee. An essential benefit of the PPI Committee’s work is close collaboration between local public agency staff who work on flood protection throughout Santa Clara County. Together, PPI Committee members continue strengthening their individual CRS programs and ensuring communities can evaluate their flood programs against a nationally recognized benchmark. The 2021 PPI Committee, the remaining non-CRS communities (City of Saratoga, Town of Los Gatos, Town of Los Altos Hills, and the County of Santa Clara), and other interested parties make up the Santa Clara County CRS Users Group. The Santa Clara County CRS Users Group collaborates to ensure floodplain management activities provide enhanced public safety, reduced damage to property and public infrastructure, and avoidance of economic disruption and loss in Santa Clara County. Through the five-year PPI development and the annual reporting process, members of the SC County CRS Users Group learn from one another about local floodplain management activities, including flood protection and land use issues. Under the CRS program, flood insurance premium rates are discounted to reward CRS communities’ actions that meet the three goals of the CRS: (1) reduce flood damage to insurable property. (2) strengthen and support the insurance aspects of the NFIP; and (3) encourage a comprehensive approach to floodplain management. Flood insurance premiums for CRS communities are reduced in 5% increments for every 500 CRS points earned. As of May 31, 2026, the total savings for Santa Clara County residents from CRS discounts are approximately $2 million. 1 of 57 88 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 92 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 92 of 266 ATTACHMENT 1 Valley Water is the lead flood protection agency for Santa Clara County. Valley Water performs many flood preparedness outreach and stream stewardship/maintenance activities that can earn credit points for CRS communities. Since Valley Water is not a land-use agency, the points Valley Water earns as a “fictitious community” provide a foundation upon which the CRS communities can build. FEMA approved this unique arrangement with Valley Water in 1998. The CRS Coordinator’s Manual, 2013 Edition, included the option to undertake a Program for Public Information (PPI), which standardizes our flood preparedness outreach messages and increases communities’ CRS points. Each participant of the PPI Committee brings unique perspectives and suggestions that enhance the PPI. Each community must adopt the PPI through a formal vote by the community’s governing body. In 2013, Valley Water helped initiate and facilitate the effort to develop the first Multi-Jurisdictional PPI, enabling all Santa Clara County CRS communities to work together and benefit from the effort. Non-CRS communities were also invited to participate in developing the PPI. This work effort resulted in the 2015 Multi-Jurisdiction PPI (2015 PPI). On April 14, 2015, Valley Water’s Board adopted the 2015 PPI, which sunset in April 2020; the other CRS communities’ governing bodies adopted the 2015 PPI soon thereafter. Under the CRS, a PPI must be updated every five years. Each subsequent year after adopting the PPI, the PPI Committee must submit an annual evaluation report to FEMA describing the PPI implementation for the prior fiscal year. The PPI Committee must evaluate whether the flood risk reduction messages in the PPI remain relevant and adjust the PPI as needed. The annual evaluation report is shared with each CRS community’s governing body as an informational item. As required for CRS credit, annual evaluation reports for FY16 (Year 1 of the 2015 PPI) through FY19 (Year 4 of the 2015 PPI) were prepared, sent to each CRS community’s governing body, and included in each community’s respective annual recertifications or as part of a community’s documentation for those that were cycled on any given year. In FY20 (Year 5 of the 2015 PPI), the PPI Committee updated the 2015 PPI, which had expired. The Insurance Services Office (ISO), FEMA’s CRS program management contractor, exempted the PPI Committee from submitting an annual evaluation report for FY20 (Year 5 of the 2015 PPI) as the committee focused on updating the document. In February 2020, Valley Water hosted the start of the five-year PPI update process. Fifteen Santa Clara County communities worked together to update the 2015 PPI. These communities included the current 11 CRS communities as well as four non-CRS communities that expressed interest in joining the 2015 PPI and possibly the CRS program. Staff and external stakeholders from each agency participated in developing the new PPI. In March 2020, the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak started. The California State Emergency Services Act, the Governor’s Emergency Declaration related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Governor’s Executive Order N-29-20, and Order of the County of Santa Clara Public Health Officer dated March 16, 2020, went into effect. The COVID-19 pandemic caused far-reaching, unprecedented changes. Businesses and organizations faced economic and operational uncertainty across every industry and sector. The workforce impacts during COVID-19 caused delays beyond control, including the PPI Committee’s ability to continue its work of updating the 2015 PPI. Many communities shifted priorities to respond to the public health crisis; therefore, FEMA provided an extension of completing the update to the 2015 PPI to early 2021. The 2021 PPI Committee reconvened in October 2020 to resume the 2015 PPI update. Several virtual meetings followed until the 2021 PPI Committee completed the 2021 PPI in April 2021. The 2021 PPI was adopted by CRS communities, as indicated in Table 1. Adoption Dates 2021 PPI. 2 of 57 89 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 93 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 93 of 266 ATTACHMENT 1 II. 2021 PPI DEVELOPMENT PROCESS Valley Water, CRS, and non-CRS communities initiated the 2021 PPI process in February 2020. Discussions were postponed due to COVID-19; the process was reinitiated in October 2020. The Santa Clara County 2021 Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information document was completed in April 2021 (refer to Section I. Introduction for COVID-19-related delays). Virtual meetings were held between 2020 and 2021 to develop the 2021 PPI. FEMA’s six priority topic messages and the three additional messages identified in the 2015 PPI carried forward into the 2021 PPI. The 2021 PPI Committee felt all nine topics and supporting messages were still relevant for reaching Santa Clara County residents and ensuring they were flood-ready. The below listed is Table 3 in the 2021 PPI: CRS Priority Messages Topic Number Topic message Public Message (Select one message per topic) TOPIC #1 Know your flood hazard Know your flood risk Contact your floodplain manager to find out if your property is in a floodplain Check if your home or business is in a Special Flood Hazard Area TOPIC #2 Insure your property for your flood hazard Insure your property There is a 30-day waiting period for the policy to take place TOPIC #3 Protect people from the flood hazard Follow evacuation orders Learn the best route to high ground TOPIC #4 Protect your property from the flood hazard Prepare your home Sandbags can offer protection against a foot or less of floodwater Get sandbags before a flood TOPIC #5 Build responsibly Comply with development requirements Check with your city/county floodplain manager before you build TOPIC #6 Protect natural floodplain functions Keep debris and trash out of our streams Don’t pollute, dump, or drain anything in creeks Additional Outreach Topic Messages (only one message per topic) TOPIC #7 Develop an emergency plan Develop an emergency plan TOPIC #8 Download disaster apps Download disaster emergency apps TOPIC #9 Understand shallow flooding risks–– don’t drive through standing water Understand shallow flooding risks - don’t drive through standing water The 2021 PPI Committee worked between the meetings to draft the 2021 PPI and review the extensive list of outreach and flood response projects (Attachment 2). Based on the 2021 PPI Committee’s evaluation of the 2015 PPI, the consensus was that most of the 2015 PPI flood risk reduction messages were still relevant, so only minor edits were incorporated as needed. This became the basis for the 2021 PPI; therefore, no additional FEMA review was required, as the 2015 PPI already ensured its provisions were fully compliant with FEMA requirements. FEMA's ISO CRS Specialist and Technical Reviewers determine how many CRS points the 2021 PPI activities earn. The PPI Committee estimates that of the possible 350 points for Activity 330, each CRS community could earn up to 300+/- points for PPI efforts. Once Valley Water approved the 2021 PPI (5-Year Plan), the final document was provided to the 2021 PPI Committee to present to their governing bodies for adoption and implementation. 3 of 57 90 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 94 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 94 of 266 ATTACHMENT 1 Table 1.

III. ANNUAL EVALUATION REPORTS The 2021 PPI states that the 2021 PPI Committee will meet at least once yearly to evaluate the PPI and incorporate any needed revisions. This meeting is coordinated in conjunction with the ongoing CRS User’s Group meetings, which occur at least twice a year. The evaluation will cover the following: Review of projects that were completed. Evaluate progress toward outcomes. Provide recommendations on projects that have not been completed. Provide recommendations for new projects not previously identified. Address any Target Audience changes; and Assess the program's impact during an actual flood event if one has occurred. The 2021 PPI Committee prepares the annual evaluation report for submission with each CRS community’s annual CRS recertification package (or scheduled 5-year cycle visits). The annual evaluation report is then shared with each CRS community governing body as an informational item. As required, annual evaluation reports for FY22 (Year 1 of the 2021 PPI) through FY26 (Year 5 of the 2021 PPI) were prepared, sent to each CRS community’s governing body, and included in each community’s respective annual recertifications or as part of a community’s documentation for those that were cycled on any given year. Section V. 2024 Santa Clara County CRS Users Group/PPI Committee Meetings – Monitoring and Evaluating the 2021 PPI of this annual evaluation report summarizes the meetings held to develop the FY26 Annual Evaluation Report (Year 5 of the 2021 PPI). 4 of 57 91 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 95 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 95 of 266 ATTACHMENT 1 Table 2 below shows how each community expects to share the FY26 Annual Evaluation Report with its governing body.

IV. 2021 PPI ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR FY26 The 2021 PPI Committee identified three efforts needed from each CRS community to prepare and finalize subsequent annual evaluation reports. 1. Governing bodies must adopt the 2021 PPI (Table 1. Adoption dates of the 2021 PPI). The 2021 PPI Committee must prepare an annual evaluation report and share it with its governing body as informational items (Table 2. How the 2021 PPI Annual Evaluation Report for FY26, Year 5 will be shared with the Community’s Governing Body). 2. For each fiscal year (July 1 - June 30), the communities must implement and monitor the outreach/flood response projects identified in Appendix A, CRS Creditable Outreach and Flood Response Projects by CRS Community of the 2021 PPI (Attachment 2). 3. The PPI Committee must review and consider the ‘New Initiatives’ identified in the 2021 PPI (page 66) for advancing flood risk reduction efforts. Governing Bodies Approval: All 11 CRS communities’ governing bodies, including Valley Water, adopted the 2021 PPI. Each agency (Community) shows the approval dates in Table 1 noted above. Tracking System: The 2021 PPI is multi-jurisdictional and includes 15 agencies (11 CRS communities and four non-CRS communities). Tracking implementation is quite complex compared to a single-agency PPI. As the informal lead agency, Valley Water oversees the record-keeping to ensure consistency throughout the county. An electronic file-sharing system, Egnyte, is set up with folders for each community to file and share documents related to the 109 potential outreach/flood response projects identified in the 2021 PPI and all CRS-related documentation. This also includes a comprehensive spreadsheet tracking which lists outreach projects accomplished in any given fiscal year by each community (Attachment 2). This spreadsheet, along with the annual evaluation report, will be submitted with annual CRS recertifications or as part of scheduled 5-year cycle visits. 5 of 57 92 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 96 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 96 of 266 ATTACHMENT 1 ISO assigns credit for Valley Water outreach/flood response projects to all Santa Clara County CRS communities’ ratings. Some communities also choose to carry out and report on their own outreach/flood response projects, in addition to those of Valley Water. These projects are shown on the composite spreadsheet (Attachment 2 - Appendix A from 2021 SC County Multi-Jurisdictional PPI noting FY26 Project Accomplishments) and include input from each agency. The PPI Committee discussed the benefits of using the Egnyte shared filing system for tracking the 2021 PPI outreach/flood response projects and all CRS-related documentation. The PPI Committee also discussed ensuring each agency regularly uploads its CRS documentation. These benefits are: - Information Share/Knowledge Transfer: CRS communities can view each other’s program documentation. When a community improves its CRS rating, another community can access the documents submitted to determine how the CRS credited activities helped improve the score. - Document Repository: A central location for CRS-related documentation, organized to mirror the CRS Coordinator’s Manual (by community/activity/element), proves helpful when a community experiences staff turnover. - Documentation Submittals: CRS documents are organized and easy to share with the CRS Specialists conducting cycle visits and/or annual recertification. Summary of PPI Projects Accomplished in FY26 Attachment 2 of this annual evaluation report includes the complete outreach/flood response project list. It lists all projects proposed in the 2021 PPI, with a “Project Accomplishments” column noting actions taken during the fourth year, FY26 of the 2021 PPI. Audiences Projects Accomplished Community at Large (CAL) 81 potential projects, 64 accomplished Residents and Businesses in the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) 18 potential projects, 16 accomplished Messengers to Other Target Audiences (Organizations & Businesses Serving the Community) 10 potential projects, 10 were accomplished *Total Accomplished Projects 90 of 109 * Note: All projects carried out by CRS communities were accomplished in FY26. Variance in the number of potential projects versus accomplished projects is due to no updates from non-CRS communities, which is not required for this annual evaluation report. These numbers go well beyond the minimum requirements of the CRS program for PPI credit under Activity 330. We anticipate all CRS communities will receive the maximum number of credits for our collective efforts in FY26. Valley Water’s Outreach/Flood Response Projects The 2021 PPI Committee identified each community's outreach/flood response projects. The implementation of these projects is reflected in the ‘FY26 (Year 5) of the 2021 PPI Project Accomplishments’ column of Attachment 2. FY26 Annual Flood Awareness Campaign Valley Water’s FY26 Flood Awareness Campaign (Attachment 3 for more details) effectively educated and engaged residents in Santa Clara County about the risks of flooding, emphasizing the importance of proactive preparation and access to vital safety resources. The campaign leveraged cutting-edge technologies like digital geo-targeting and multilingual outreach, blending traditional strategies with innovative solutions to connect with communities at risk of flooding. 6 of 57 93 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 97 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 97 of 266 ATTACHMENT 1 Goals: 1.Awareness: Educate FEMA-designated Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) residents and businesses about their flood risks and mitigation strategies. 2.Preparedness: Empower residents to take preventative actions, including knowing their flood risk, signing up for emergency alerts, and knowing where to find free sandbags. 3.Access:Provide multilingual resources and technologies to connect diverse communities with flood safety information, including the innovative Valley Water’s Surface Water Data Portal. When extreme weather strikes, residents can know if their home is at risk of flooding by visiting alert.valleywater.org for the latest information on local creeks and reservoir water levels. Refer to Attachment 3 for more details on Valley Water’s FY26 flood awareness campaign. CRS Community Outreach/Flood Response Projects Other Community Engagement Efforts October 2025 officially kicked off the flood season. On November 19, 2025, staff participated in a flood preparedness press conference held at Valley Water’s Emergency Operations Center site in San José. The press conference was a joint news event with the City of San José, the County of Santa Clara, and the National Weather Service. The event featured speakers from Valley Water and participating agencies, a tour of Valley Water’s Emergency Operations Center, and an emergency kit assembly table with flood-readiness materials. Valley Water Education Outreach Program Valley Water’s Education Outreach includes flood awareness messaging in classroom lessons presented year- round. A dedicated flood-focused lesson is offered from October through April. Valley Water’s role as a flood protection agency is introduced in all lessons so that participants in Education Outreach programs know that flood protection is one of Valley Water’s core objectives in Santa Clara County. The following are the Education Outreach efforts from July 2025 - June 2026. 7 of 57 94 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 98 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 98 of 266 ATTACHMENT 1 Flood-Focused Programs Education Outreach offers two lessons and one assembly focused on flood awareness and preparedness: The Three Little Pigs and the Bad Weather Wolf for transitional kindergarten through second grade, and Watershed Maps for second and third grades. The Three Little Pigs and the Bad Weather Wolf is also offered as a school assembly. The results of the Flood-Focused Programs delivered between July 2025 and June 2026 are as follows: 101 flood-focused programs 2,645 students 124 educators Flood Awareness Messaging In addition to Flood-Focused Programs, Education Outreach provided additional flood awareness messaging in general classroom presentations, assemblies, libraries, and public events. The results of the general flood protection messaging between July 2025 and June 2026 are as follows: 302 programs with general flood protection messaging 8,728 students messaging 374 educators 661 public youth in Santa Clara County Community Events and Engagement Booth Support at Events Valley Water staff made a concerted effort to actively participate in community events, including community festivals and emergency preparedness affairs, particularly in communities and neighborhoods in or near flood zones. In FY26 (from September 2025 – May 2026), Valley Water and the communities’ staff hosted 29 booths and distributed flood preparedness information on flood safety and emergency preparedness materials, including Valley Water’s annual FPM.

Attendance by CRS communities was high. Staff from some non-CRS communities, external stakeholders, and other interested parties were also in attendance. Agendas, meeting notes, and attendance sheets for each meeting are included (Attachments 4-8). As required by CRS, the objective of the meeting was to monitor the implementation of the 2021 PPI, determine if the desired outcomes were achieved, and discuss whether any changes to the 2021 PPI were needed to complete this annual evaluation report. The PPI Committee agreed that the 2021 PPI messaging and projects would remain the same for the duration of the 2021 PPI, which sunsets in 2026. 9 of 57 96 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 100 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 100 of 266 ATTACHMENT 1 VI. MESSAGING – Other Initiatives The multi-jurisdictional PPI Committee identified several possible opportunities in the 2021 PPI to expand on existing initiatives and may consider initiating newer ones as follows: 1. Continue and expand the standardized flood message prepared for each community to include flood messages in utility bills yearly, including PG&E. 2. Expand on partnerships with local chambers of commerce to disseminate and share flood preparedness information. 3. Expand on outreach to the Asian and Latino communities who live in flood-prone areas. 4. Expand on outreach to ‘hot spots’/flood-prone areas by hosting on-site or virtual public events. 5. Expand the reach to local homeowners’ associations (HOA)s and apartment associations (i.e., Executive Council of Homeowners [ECHO]). 6. Expand the reach to residents in historically underserved and low-income communities through partnerships with organizations that serve these communities (i.e., Second Harvest Food Bank and others). 7. Communities could pursue FEMA Matching Funds Grants for severe Repetitive Loss Areas. 8. Review and expand other public information activities, such as Flood Protection Assistance (Activity 360) and Flood Insurance Promotion (Activity 370). 9. Develop a region-wide Flood Response Preparations (FRP) messaging plan. The messages the PPI Committee originally chose are still relevant to Santa Clara County. The committee will continue to increase its efforts to encourage people to prepare personal/family emergency plans and be flood- ready for the duration of the 2021 PPI. The PPI Committee will also continue coordinating efforts with Valley Water’s Education Outreach Program to promote flood preparedness in local schools. The PPI Committee recommends continuing to use social media for messaging for the duration of the 2021 PPI. Mobile usage among individuals has increased exponentially over the years, and online platforms are rapidly adjusting to mobile-friendly standards. This provides an excellent opportunity to modernize campaign ad efforts by utilizing social media and digital advertising to increase exposure and reach more residents in Santa Clara County. Furthermore, these modern advertising methods allow for specialized demographic targeting to reach a narrow and defined audience, improving the ability to reach vulnerable populations effectively. In support of our preparedness messaging, the PPI Committee continues to promote the importance of having family emergency plans and kits ready before an emergency/flood event occurs. The PPI Committee continues to promote the American Red Cross All-Hazard App, which monitors alerts for severe weather, including floods, and the Floodsmart.gov and Ready.gov websites. The communities will distribute American Red Cross Emergency Contact Cards at events throughout the county. VII. CONCLUSION Overall, the CRS Users Group/PPI Committee successfully implemented the 2021 PPI in FY26. The 2021 PPI allowed PPI Committee members to mutually decide which flood risk reduction messages are most appropriate for our residents and to identify how to deliver them effectively. Participating in the 2021 PPI aims to enhance the effectiveness of the flood risk messages to residents, reduce flood risks within Santa Clara County, and earn valuable CRS credit points when identified outreach projects are implemented. The CRS Users Group/PPI Committee will continue its outreach efforts through FY26. The 2021 PPI will sunset in FY26. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Attachments for submission to Valley Water Board, City Councils/Managers, and FEMA, as required: 1.

The Program for Public Information committee meets at least annually to monitor the implementation of the outreach projects. The committee assesses whether the desired outcomes were achieved and what, if anything, should be changed. This work is described in an evaluation report that is prepared each year, sent to the governing body, and included in the annual recertification. The community must update its Program for Public Information at least every five years. This can be a new document or an addendum to the existing document that updates the needs assessment and all sections that should be changed based on evaluations of the projects. The Program for Public Information update will be reviewed for CRS credit according to the Coordinator’s Manual currently in effect, not the version used when the community originally requested this credit. The update can qualify as the annual evaluation report for the year it was prepared. The updated Program for Public Information must be adopted following the same process as adoption of the original document.” ______________________________________________________________________________________ Activity 350 – Flood Protection Information, c. flood protection website (WEB)(page 350-7) The community must: 3) The community must check the website’s links at least monthly and fix those that are no longer accurate. 4) At least annually, the community must review the content to ensure it is still current and pertinent (e.g., make sure names, addresses, phone numbers, and other contact information are still correct; update any ordinance changes; etc.) 56 of 57 143 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 147 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 147 of 266 Santa Clara County CRS Users Group and PPI Committee Meeting Minutes - May 21, 2026 Time: 2:00 p.m. Location: Zoom 1. Welcome and Introductions Amy Fonseca opened the meeting. Representatives from Valley Water, Tetra Tech, and participating cities introduced themselves. 2. CRS Transition Update Valley Water reported that full CRS regionalization is not feasible and plans to move from its fictitious- community role to a partnership model. Cities will manage their own CRS documentation, recertifications, and ISO/FEMA coordination. Valley Water will continue regional flood outreach and provide supporting documentation for CRS credit. Tetra Tech will provide community-specific assessments and transition support through December 2026, subject to available contract hours. 3. Future of the PPI The committee discussed continuing the multi-jurisdictional PPI with a new lead, forming a smaller group, creating individual city PPIs, or retiring the PPI and using standard Activity 350 outreach credits. No final decision was made. A continuing multi-jurisdictional PPI will require a lead community or shared coordinating group. The committee should select a direction in the next few months. 4. Activity 350 and Website Information Valley Water will continue providing regional flood information. Each city remains responsible for local permitting, regulatory, elevation-certificate, and other community-specific website information. Tetra Tech will review additional credit opportunities with each community. 5. Decisions No formal vote or final PPI decision was taken. Communities will review individual CRS credit impacts before selecting a PPI option. 6. Action Items All communities: Update the shared CRS contact roster as soon as possible. Valley Water: Send the meeting recap and consultation instructions; confirm available Tetra Tech support hours. Tetra Tech and each community: Schedule and complete individual CRS assessments between June and December 2026. Each community: Confirm that Tetra Tech has current CRS records before its consultation. PPI Committee: Select a PPI direction. Interested communities: Identify a lead or shared coordinator if the multi-jurisdictional PPI continues. 7. Adjournment The meeting adjourned at approximately 3:40 p.m. 57 of 57 144 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 148 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 148 of 266 July 31, 2026 Christopher Hakes Chief of Watersheds Valley Water 5750 Almaden Expressway San Jose, CA 95118-3686 Dear Mr. Hakes: The purpose of this joint letter from the various Community Rating System (CRS) communities in Santa Clara County is to request that Valley Water reconsider its June 2026 decision to conclude its participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) CRS program and transition from its longstanding leadership role to that of a partner. Our understanding is that in addition to eliminating its CRS program, Valley Water will no longer administer and lead the Santa Clara County Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information (PPI). First, we would like to share our appreciation and thank you for Valley Water’s role as a CRS community and for also leading the PPI for so many years. Valley Water has provided exceptional leadership, technical expertise, and regional coordination that have been instrumental in the success of the Santa Clara County CRS Users' Group. As the only flood control district participating in the CRS in this capacity, Valley Water has established a unique and nationally recognized model for regional collaboration. This leadership has helped local jurisdictions improve their CRS ratings, reduce flood risk, and deliver meaningful flood insurance premium savings to thousands of residents and businesses throughout Santa Clara County. The collaborative framework that Valley Water has cultivated extends beyond administrative coordination. It has fostered consistency in floodplain management Subject: Request for Reconsideration of Valley Water’s Participation in the Federal Emergency Management Agency National Flood Insurance Program Community Rating System Program           145 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 149 of 266 Re: Request for Reconsideration of Valley Water’s Participation in the Federal Emergency Management Agency National Flood Insurance Program Community Rating System Program July 31, 2026 Page 2 of 3 practices, promoted the sharing of technical resources, strengthened relationships among participating agencies, and enhanced public outreach and education. These regional benefits are difficult to replicate without a central coordinating agency possessing Valley Water's expertise and countywide perspective. As you can imagine, Valley Water’s recent announcement came as a significant surprise to the agencies participating in the CRS and PPI programs. Collectively, we believe this change will have an adverse impact on flood insurance premiums for property owners throughout the Santa Clara Valley and undermine the regional progress that has been made toward a more coordinated and effective approach to floodplain management. We respectfully request that Valley Water reconsider its June 2026 decision to conclude its participation in CRS and PPI to allow for further discussion with participating jurisdictions and stakeholders.

Recommended Action Adopt support position on Senate Bill 922 (Laird) Vehicles: Local Agency Charges: Use of Streets or Highways and authorize the Mayor to send letters to the State Legislature Reasons for Recommendation and Available Options On August 17, the Legislative Review Committee (LRC) adopted three positions on bills that were outlined in the 2026 Legislative Platform, which can be viewed on the City’s webpage at cupertino.gov/legislation. The LRC also discussed SB 922 by Senator Laird, however, they were unable to adopt a position as this bill falls under a “monitor” position within the platform. Adopting a position of support or opposition would require consideration by the full Council. The LRC voted to move this bill forward and recommends that the full Council adopt a support position on this bill. A draft letter of support is included as Attachment A. SB 922, as amended on July 2, 2026, clarifies the authority of local governments to recover the costs of street maintenance and repair through utility rates, franchise fees, and other public service charges. The bill amends Vehicle Code Section 9400.8 to specify that the existing prohibition on local charges for the use of streets and highways applies only to charges based on vehicle weight. It further clarifies that fees, charges, or surcharges imposed by or for a local agency to recover the costs of street maintenance, street repair, and other roadway impacts associated with providing public services are not a tax or permit fee that is prohibited for the privilege of using public streets. The bill expressly authorizes local agencies to impose and collect these charges and includes legislative findings rejecting the interpretation adopted in Rogers v. City of Redlands. 179 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 183 of 266 For cities, counties, and special districts, SB 922 confirms that roadway maintenance costs attributable to public service providers may continue to be recovered through utility rates, franchise agreements, and similar cost-recovery mechanisms without violating state law. Opponents, such as the California Taxpayers Association, argue that this bill reduces transparency and weakens taxpayer protections by allowing road repair costs to be charged through service fees without voter approval. Supporters, including the League of California Cities and the Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC), sponsors of this bill, argue that SB 922 restores legal clarity and preserves long-standing local practices that allow service fees to recover roadway maintenance costs associated with providing essential public services.

Cities throughout California are responsible for maintaining extensive local street networks that are essential to residents, businesses, emergency services, utilities, and other public services. The operation of heavy service vehicles, including those used for waste collection and other essential services, contributes to pavement deterioration and creates real maintenance and repair costs for local governments. SB 922 provides important clarity by confirming that fees, charges, or surcharges imposed by or for a local agency to recover street maintenance and repair costs associated with providing public services are permissible and are not prohibited charges for the privilege of using local streets or highways. The bill also preserves the existing prohibition on local charges based on vehicle weight. For Cupertino and other local governments, SB 922 will: • Protect Local Infrastructure: Allow cities to appropriately recover costs associated with wear and deterioration of local streets resulting from the delivery of public services. 182 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 186 of 266 • Promote Fiscal Responsibility: Help ensure that costs attributable to particular services are incorporated into those services rather than shifted to a city's General Fund and taxpayers at large. • Provide Legal and Regulatory Certainty: Clarify state law so local agencies can continue established practices for funding street maintenance without uncertainty regarding the application of Vehicle Code Section 9400.8. • Preserve Local Control: Give communities the flexibility to structure lawful fees and service charges based on their individual infrastructure needs while maintaining protections against weight-based road charges. Maintaining safe and reliable streets is one of the most fundamental responsibilities of local government. At a time when cities face significant infrastructure needs and rising maintenance costs, local agencies should have clear authority to ensure that the costs generated by public- service operations can be appropriately reflected in the cost of providing those services. SB 922 is a reasonable and important clarification of state law that will help local governments protect public infrastructure and responsibly manage limited public resources. For these reasons, the City of Cupertino respectfully requests that you sign SB 922 into law.

Following this st practices and input from the City’s he “Audit and Finance Committee” to reflect its broader oversight role, (2) clarifying Section 2.88.100(g) to ensure clear oversight of the City’s internal controls 185 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 189 of 266 On October 7, 2025, the City Council conducted a study session on the proposed amendments and referred additional items back to the Audit Committee for further consideration, including potential expanded financial oversight responsibilities and meeting frequency. Specifically, Council requested the Audit Committee to consider: - Increasing the regular meeting frequency from four to up to six meetings per year, with flexibility to cancel meetings if there is no business; -Expanding the Committee’s financial oversight role to include review of the City’s operating and capital budgets, long-term financial forecasts, reserve policies, and major financial transactions; - Considering the establishment of a budget subcommittee; and - Providing direction that Treasurer’s Reports and Investment Reports will be placed on the City Council agenda Consent Calendar for receipt, rather than as informational memoranda. This change has been implemented. On April 27, 2026, the Audit Committee considered the additional items referred by the City Council. Following discussion, the Committee unanimously recommended retaining the three previously proposed Municipal Code amendments and maintaining the existing quarterly meeting schedule rather than increasing the number of regular meetings. The Committee also recommended utilizing the City's Internal Audit Work Program as an alternative means of providing additional financial and operational oversight. Separately, as part of the City's recent departmental reorganization, the Department of Administrative Services was renamed the Department of Finance and the Director of Administrative Services was retitled Director of Finance. Section 2.88.110 of the Municipal Code currently references the Director of Administrative Services and is therefore proposed to be updated to reflect the current position title. This is an administrative update and does not change the duties or responsibilities established by Chapter 2.88. Consistent with that direction, additional internal audit projects were subsequently considered by the Audit Committee at its July 27, 2026 meeting. The proposed Internal Audit Work Program, including the associated request for additional funding, will be presented separately to the City Council on September 15, 2026. Analysis The originally proposed amendments are intended to modernize the Committee’s scope and align it with evolving best practices in public sector financial oversight. Specifically: -Name change: Renaming the Committee as the “Audit and Finance Committee” signals its role in both financial and audit-related oversight. -Section 2.88.100(g): Clarifying this section strengthens accountability around the City’s system of internal controls while maintaining existing oversight of internal audit reports. -Section 2.88.100(i): Adding this new duty recognizes the increasing use of artificial intelligence tools in financial reporting, internal controls, risk management, and compliance, and ensures the committee remains equipped to evaluate emerging risks and opportunities. 186 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 190 of 266 In response to the City Council's October 7, 2025 direction, the Audit Committee reconsidered its meeting frequency and potential expansion of its financial oversight responsibilities. After discussion, the Committee unanimously recommended maintaining its existing quarterly meeting schedule and did not recommend establishing a budget subcommittee or expanding the Committee's direct involvement in the City's annual budget process. Instead, the Committee recommended utilizing the City's Internal Audit Work Program to provide additional independent review of financial and operational areas. This approach maintains the Committee's oversight role while leveraging the expertise of Baker Tilly, the City's contracted internal auditor, to conduct targeted reviews identified through the annual work program. At its July 27, 2026 meeting, the Audit Committee considered additional projects for inclusion in the Internal Audit Work Program. The proposed work program and related funding request will be presented separately to the City Council on September 15, 2026. Next Steps If the proposed Municipal Code amendments are introduced, staff will return to the City Council for second reading and adoption of the ordinance. Separately, the Audit Committee's recommended Internal Audit Work Program and associated funding request will be presented to the City Council on September 15, 2026.

Known as BART Silicon Valley Phase II (BSVII), the $12.7 billion project extends rail service six miles and includes a large, single-bore underground tunnel and will take 10 years or more from 2026 to complete (VTA, March 2024). Despite significantly reduced ridership projections and uncertainty about funding sources for both capital and operating costs, VTA has awarded major construction contracts, including for the construction of a launch structure to stage a specialized one-of-a-kind Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM), which will be owned by VTA. Over the next few years, VTA anticipates awarding further construction contracts worth billions of dollars. To reduce uncertainty, the spokesperson for an independent peer review of the project urged VTA to move quickly to “build as much as you can, as fast as you can” (VTA Special Board Meeting, 2025). Such an approach assumes that there will be political will and taxpayer support to finish an incomplete project regardless of cost increases, delays, or reduced ridership. The VTA’s Board of Directors (Board) has recognized the need for additional oversight and guidance, but the Board has failed to exercise its obligation to provide the strategic direction needed for a successful project. The Oversight Committee it created has been left to define its own role. It was not required to, and does not, provide reports that share available independent analyses of critical issues. The Oversight Committee does not routinely make policy recommendations to the Board and does not hold VTA staff accountable for providing the timely analysis it has requested. The 2025-26 Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury (Civil Grand Jury) investigated the role of the VTA Board, its Oversight Committee, its staff, and officials in the management and oversight of the BSVII project. This report identifies financial challenges, risks, and accountability issues that VTA must address to earn the public’s trust in delivering the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) extension to Silicon Valley and to secure support for future sales tax measures. 208 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 212 of 266 Page 3 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II BACKGROUND The Valley Transportation Authority is a transportation agency established by state law. It is responsible for operating public transit services, including buses, light rail, and paratransit within Santa Clara County. In addition to public transit, VTA is a planning and funding agency for transportation infrastructure projects throughout Santa Clara County. As established by the California Public Utilities Code Sections 100060-100070, the VTA is governed by a 12-person Board of Directors composed of elected officials appointed by the County of Santa Clara (County) and the cities in Santa Clara County, who each serve two-year terms. The Board has many responsibilities and its monthly meeting agendas are lengthy. The San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District provides regional commuter rail service and is governed by a nine-person Board of Directors elected to four-year terms from districts representing San Francisco, Alameda, and Contra Costa counties. As part of its larger regional system, BART operates the commuter rail service within Santa Clara County. By contract with BART, VTA is solely responsible for paying the capital and net operating costs of extending commuter rail service into Santa Clara County (BART and VTA, Comprehensive Agreement, 2001). Although the County was not included in the legislation establishing BART, voters of Santa Clara County supported three sales tax measures which provided funds to plan, build, and operate the extension of BART to Santa Clara County. Today, 1.625% of sales tax collected in Santa Clara County supports VTA and other local jurisdictions (see Table 1). If a currently proposed measure qualifies for the ballot, in November 2026, voters will decide whether to approve an additional 0.5% sales tax to fund local transit, which would increase the County’s base sales tax rate from the current 9.75% to 10.25%. 209 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 213 of 266 Page 4 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II Table 1: Countywide Sales Tax in Santa Clara County, Effective April 2026 Description Sales Tax % Expiration Funding Purpose California Base 7.250% No Expiration State General Fund Local Revenue Fund Local Public Safety Health & Social Services 1976 Measure A 0.500% No Expiration Transit: VTA 2000 Measure A 0.500% 2036 Transit: VTA, BART Silicon Valley 2008 Measure B 0.125% 2042 Transit: BART Silicon Valley 2016 Measure B 0.500% 2047 Transit: VTA + County/City/Caltrain/Caltrans Infrastructure 2012 Measure A 0.125% No Expiration County General Fund 2020 Measure RR 0.125% 2050 Transit: Caltrain 2026 Measure A 0.625% 2031 General incl.

(https://www.vta.org/sites/default/files/2024-12/Annual-Comprehensive- Financial-Report-ACRF-FY-2024.pdf). Note: Some cities have higher voter-approved rates in addition to the County base rate; Highlighted section of the table refers to sales tax measures that fund VTA. The first phase of BART to Silicon Valley extended service to Milpitas and then to the Berryessa Transit Center (Berryessa). Construction started in 2012 and was completed in 2020. Ridership for Phase I has not met forecasts, and due to operational, maintenance, and depreciation expenses, VTA has experienced significant financial losses. According to data reviewed by the Civil Grand Jury, BART to Silicon Valley Phase I has lost an average of $69 million annually during the first five years of operation. The second phase consists of a six-mile, four-station extension from Berryessa through downtown San José to the City of Santa Clara. For this phase, VTA is targeting completion by 2037. As a condition of federal funding, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has appointed a Project Management Oversight Consultant (PMOC). The PMOC uses a more conservative schedule and forecasts completion in 2039 (AtkinsRéalis USA Holdings LLC, 2026). 210 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 214 of 266 Page 5 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II At an early planning stage in 2014, the BSVII project cost was estimated at $4.7 billion. By 2020, the cost estimate increased to $6.9 billion. In 2022, based on the PMOC’s projected cost analysis, VTA submitted an estimate of $9.1 billion to the federal government for an Early Start Grant. In October 2023, VTA estimated the construction cost at $12.2 billion with operations to begin in 2036. The most recent estimate is $12.7 billion, and operations are pushed back to 2037 (VTA Auditor General Report, January 2024). The project's funding sources include federal and state grants, as well as local revenues from voter- approved sales tax measures. All the funding sources are subject to risks, which are identified in this report. Figure 1 shows the funding sources with $700 million to be determined (TBD) and $375 million from a potential ballot measure in November 2026. Figure 1: Components of $12.7 Billion in BSVII Funding Sources as of April 2026 Source: vtabart.org website (accessed April 9, 2026) Although two years earlier, VTA had asked for a federal commitment of $6.3 billion, in August 2024, the FTA announced that its share of funding would be capped at $5.1 billion (Geha, 2024). VTA was forced to increase its reliance on local sales tax revenue and still faced a gap of approximately $700 million (VTA, Summer 2025). To reduce project costs, VTA has been studying design changes while maintaining the full six-mile extension with four stations. Options discussed by VTA staff and officials include (VTA, November 11, 2024): • Simplifying station configurations; 211 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 215 of 266 Page 6 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II • Modifying the Santa Clara Newhall Yard and Maintenance Facility; • Modifying the tunnel and station ventilation systems; • Substituting a surface parking lot for a parking structure; • Reconfiguring the tunnel to use less concrete and steel. In addition, the funding strategy assumes $375 million from the yet-to-be-approved regional sales tax measure for a total outstanding gap of $1.075 billion. Due in part to the significant increase in estimated cost and a perceived lack of communication about the project’s cost, risks, and schedule, the Board conducted a workshop in October 2023 to review the project’s status. At this workshop, individual Board members expressed a lack of confidence in the VTA staff’s management of the project and requested a new system of oversight and project management. In response, the Board chair established an Ad Hoc BART Silicon Valley Phase II oversight committee (Oversight Committee) responsible for overseeing all aspects of the project, focusing on a full, independent, and transparent review of costs, funding, risks, and completion schedule. The Oversight Committee’s bylaws later stated that its purpose was to provide “guidance and oversight” of the project (VTA, April 4, 2024). The VTA independent auditor general was tasked with providing staff support to the Oversight Committee and was authorized to contract with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to independently review and comment on VTA staff recommendations regarding costs, risks, and schedule. In turn, the Oversight Committee authorized the SME firm, Gall Zeidler (GZ), to independently assess the risks and viability of cost-saving alternatives. In a 2001 Agreement, VTA and BART agreed to cooperate in the project’s planning, design, and construction. They established a series of interagency committees, the latest of which is the Joint VTA/BART Working Committee, which depending on the availability of its members, is scheduled to meet quarterly. BART staff members have been assigned to co-locate with VTA engineers to participate in the preparation and review of BSVII designs in accordance with the agreed Project Design Criteria Manual. According to the BART Inspector General, VTA has reimbursed BART $19.2 million through 2025 for the cost of the assigned employees (BART, December 19, 2025). In August 2025, the BART assistant general manager, operations, rejected some of VTA’s proposed design changes and scope reductions and complained about inadequate coordination (see Appendix A). The BART inspector general issued a report in December 2025 that also raised concerns about inadequate coordination and criticized VTA’s communication with BART officials (Id.). 212 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 216 of 266 Page 7 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II METHODOLOGY The Civil Grand Jury reviewed every meeting of the BSVII Oversight Committee, as well as select VTA Board meetings. This included reviewing agendas, minutes, agenda item reports, public comment submittals, and associated discussions. In addition, the Civil Grand Jury conducted 17 interviews of officials from VTA, BART, and the State of California. The Civil Grand Jury also reviewed publicly available documents as described in the reference section, as well as documents requested from VTA and submitted to the Civil Grand Jury. 213 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 217 of 266 Page 8 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II INVESTIGATION The Civil Grand Jury investigation of the BSVII project covered critical aspects of VTA’s management and oversight, including: • VTA’s funding strategy and its reliance on voter-approved sales tax measures, some of which expire before completion of the project, and some of which have yet to be approved; • The establishment of a separate Oversight Committee which provides guidance on the BSVII project and how it evaluates independent analyses provided by the VTA auditor general, contracted SMEs, and the federally mandated PMOC; • The contractual and practical requirement to closely coordinate with BART, which will serve as the system operator; • The impact of the VTA Board’s governance structure on the effectiveness of strategic direction, management, and oversight of the project; • VTA’s approach for keeping the public informed of costs, risks, and schedule. Financial Risks The 10-year project completion timeline of BSVII exposes VTA to financial risks that require careful, ongoing assessment of capital and operating costs, including that: • Rising labor and material costs, combined with aggressive construction methods and schedules, may increase total project costs and strain the budget’s contingency for unforeseen risks and unexpected expenses; • Delays or reductions in state and federal funding will create greater pressure to rely on local funding sources or scale back the scope of the project; • Lower ridership levels will increase VTA’s ongoing obligation to pay net operating costs, which would necessitate service level reductions or voter approval of new or extended sales tax measures; • Failure to maintain a cash-flow model exclusive to BSVII, means that contracting options for accelerating work may not be able to be financed with available resources. Risk of Increased Costs of Labor and Materials The FTA fiscal year 2025 New Starts Financial Assessment report for BSVII stated the VTA inflation estimate was optimistic. If labor and material costs were to rise above those estimated in VTA’s budget, it could lead to funding shortfalls (FTA, 2024). 214 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 218 of 266 Page 9 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II The VTA auditor general’s May 1, 2025, report to the Board also identified BSVII financial risks associated with project construction costs. The report found that the assumptions and historical data underlying VTA’s financial plan could be more robust to enable the Board and the public to evaluate the financial risk associated with the potential cost increases (VTA, 2025). Another factor that increases the difficulty in predicting materials and labor costs is the possible extension of the 2037 project completion date. The longer timeline for BSVII increases the likelihood that future costs will differ from current estimates, thereby increasing financial risk. Local, State, and Federal Funding Risks The capital cost of construction and the net operating costs are to be paid by VTA from specific revenue sources, some of which are grants with fixed amounts. The financial risks identified by the Civil Grand Jury have been experienced by other major transit agencies. For example, the various rail projects of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro) faced escalating cost estimates, reductions in federal funding, cuts into smaller construction segments to match available funding, and shifting agency priorities (Shalby, 2026). Local Funding Risks VTA’s capital financing plan calls for the 2016 Measure B to pay $2.5 billion and for the 2000 Measure A to pay $2.0 billion of the estimated $12.7 billion BSVII project. Measure A expires in 2036, before BSVII is expected to be completed. Measure B expires in 2047 (VTA, About 2016 Measure B, n.d.). As the project’s cost estimates have evolved, so have the planned funding sources. Measure B has become a much more significant source of proposed funding. Because Measure B also funds bus transit, local streets, and highway projects, there are built-in limitations on the amount available to close a BSVII financing gap. Measure B limits spending on BSVII to 23.8% of net sales tax revenue over its 30-year life (FTA, 2024). Net sales tax revenue (defined as Program Tax Revenue in the measure) is calculated as the amount remaining after deducting administrative costs and any debt service. To close current and potential future funding gaps, VTA could issue bonds to be repaid from Measure B sales tax revenue. However, this would reduce the revenue available for other voter- approved projects. Every dollar spent on debt service for BSVII is a dollar that cannot be spent on 215 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 219 of 266 Page 10 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II the other transportation projects approved by the voters. Because of bond issuance and interest costs, the total project costs would exceed the current estimate of $12.7 billion. Another risky approach to filling funding gaps would allow the Board to change the rules and permit a greater percentage of Measure B net sales tax revenue to be used for BSVII. One VTA official acknowledged to the Civil Grand Jury that this would be a “heavy lift” because VTA would first have to notify all the local agencies of the proposed increase in the percentage limit and then approve it by a ¾ vote of the Board (9 of 12 Board members). The County and the cities that have planned other transportation measures are likely to object to reduced funding for their projects. Of course, more Measure B funds could become available to support the capital costs of BSVII if the expected sales tax revenue exceeds previously anticipated levels. While early projections were based on 2016 economic conditions, it is important for the strategic funding plan that the sales tax forecast be updated regularly. The Civil Grand Jury was informed that VTA has ordered an updated forecast. Because two key sales tax measures are set to expire, several VTA officials stated in interviews that they would simply place a measure on a future ballot for voter consideration if an extension were needed. Given the current sales tax rates applicable within Santa Clara County and the need for management and oversight reforms identified in this report, there is a risk that voters may not approve such a measure. State Funding Risk As of April 2026, the capital construction funding strategy required $1.5 billion from two State of California grants. The VTA has received commitments for nearly $200 million of that total. The sources of funding are the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP) and transportation funds administered by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), both of which may be affected by a recent state decision to provide a bridge loan to Bay Area transit agencies (MTC, 2026). In February 2026, the California legislature appropriated $590 million from the same TIRCP account to provide a 12-year loan to MTC. These loan proceeds will be made available to San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, AC Transit, BART, and Caltrain to help address a greater need for public transit subsidies. The agencies are required to repay the loan over 12 years (MTC, 2026). 216 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 220 of 266 Page 11 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II The state justified the loan on the basis that the transit agencies would be able to stabilize their financial situations and avoid service reductions pending the anticipated approval in November of a regional sales tax measure. If the regional measure does not pass, or if for any other reason the agencies do not repay the loans on time, the timing of the receipt of funding to VTA might create some cash flow risk for the project. Further, the TIRCP account itself is funded by payments from private parties who agree to purchase pollution credits in the state’s Cap and Invest program. The program’s future is uncertain in light of federal changes to environmental regulations and pending legal challenges from the State of California (California State Transportation Agency, n.d.). Federal Funding Risk In August 2024, the FTA advised VTA that the federal government’s total contribution to the project would be limited to $5.1 billion. To receive these funds, VTA plans to apply for a Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA) by the end of 2026. Federal support for large-scale rail projects is uncertain. In 2025, the FTA canceled a $4.2 billion commitment to the California High-Speed Rail Project (Shalby, 2025). VTA’s lobbyists have suggested delaying the FFGA application until similar requests from other states are resolved. Considering the political, economic, and budgetary conditions of the United States, approval of VTA’s request for an FFGA is highly uncertain. It may be delayed, reduced, or denied. Low Levels of Ridership Could Increase VTA’s Future Costs BART ridership on the current regional system has not recovered to pre-pandemic levels. Ridership in January 2026 remains only 48% of the levels in January 2019 (BART, January 2026; BART, 2019). Recovering ridership may prove difficult due to the growth of hybrid work patterns. The Civil Grand Jury also reviewed the forecasts for the first phase of the project, which included the new Milpitas and Berryessa stations. For January 2026, ridership was 86% below estimates (see Table 2). 217 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 221 of 266 Page 12 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II Table 2: BART Ridership at Milpitas and Berryessa Stations Forecast for Average Daily Weekday Ridership for June 2021 at launch Actual Ridership, January 2026 Ridership/Day 20,110 2,789 Source: Joint VTA/BART Working Committee Meeting, December 4, 2020; BART February 2026 Monthly Ridership Snapshot. Note: VTA created forecasts in 2020, expressed as rides per day. BART actuals are based on recorded station entries and exits. To normalize BART actuals to the VTA forecast, entries and exits were averaged to produce a daily ridership figure. An overall decrease in ridership has led BART to project a $376 million budget deficit for FY2026- 27. To seek additional revenue, BART is relying on a 0.5% additional sales tax measure on the November 2026 ballot that would begin in 2027 and remain in place for 14 years. If the ballot measure does not pass, BART has proposed closing up to 15 stations and reducing service hours and train frequency (BART, February 26, 2026). Ironically, the proposed station closures would not affect Santa Clara County because VTA is solely responsible for the net operating costs. According to VTA records reviewed by the Civil Grand Jury, for the first three years of operation, VTA forecasts annual average costs of $274 million for operations, maintenance, and capital costs. Average fare revenue is forecast at $60 million, offsetting VTA's financial obligation to BART, resulting in an average annual financial loss of $214 million. Any drop in ridership will lead to further financial losses. The Need for a BSVII Cash Flow Model With a price tag of $12.7 billion, BSVII is the largest public infrastructure project in Santa Clara County (Aragon, 2025). Nearly 60% of the planned funding sources include revenue from grants that will not be distributed in advance but will be reimbursed in accordance with each grant’s draw schedule (See Figure 1). The timing of those cash inflows must be carefully matched with the timing of payment schedules for construction contracts worth billions of dollars. VTA staff is evaluating different approaches to contracting the construction work. Alternatives are being evaluated for the following reasons: 1) to identify segments of work that could be bid out separately to accelerate the overall schedule; and 2) to identify segments for which there is a greater likelihood of strong competitive bids. For each contract, the cash outflows will be specified and must be carefully matched with the cash inflows. 218 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 222 of 266 Page 13 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II A cash flow model that matches receipts and expenditures for BSVII would enable VTA decision- makers to fully evaluate the alternative approaches being studied. However, VTA officials have advised the Civil Grand Jury that such a model has not yet been developed. A cash flow model is necessary to avoid unplanned delays from cash shortfalls. Oversight Concerns VTA Board Recognizes That Oversight Must be Improved Independent reports and audits have identified problems with project management and VTA Board oversight, including those identified by a prior Civil Grand Jury, the California State Auditor, and the PMOC (AtkinsRéalis USA Holdings LLC, 2026). VTA’s cost-estimation practices, along with its lack of transparency around changes to project scope and cost, were identified as significant deficiencies. VTA’s oversight and management of the BSVII project have also been heavily criticized by the media, in public comments presented at Board meetings, and in letters to the editor of multiple local publications. VTA Board Outsources Guidance and Oversight of the BSVII Project Following a workshop on the project’s direction in October 2023, the VTA Board Chairman announced the creation of an Ad Hoc BART Silicon Valley Phase II Oversight Committee (VTA, 2023). However, only the Board can make binding decisions on the project’s scope, funding, risks, schedule, and contracting approach. While ultimately accountable itself, the Board nonetheless effectively delegated oversight to a committee without providing clear direction. By abdicating its responsibility to set its expectations of how the Oversight Committee can best support the Board, the committee has been left to set its own course. That course does not keep the Board fully informed of issues raised by independent experts or the PMOC, hampering its ability to make the best decisions about the project's funding and schedule. At its meeting on January 15, 2026, the Oversight Committee adopted what it called a revised charter intended to clarify the lines of communication and relationships among the auditor general, SME, VTA staff, and Oversight Committee (VTA, January 15, 2026). Members of the Oversight Committee had expressed concern about a perceived lack of coordination between VTA staff and the SME. Nonetheless, the question remains: Is the role of an SME to provide the Board with an independent review of VTA staff recommendations as originally intended, or is it to help VTA staff improve their recommendations? Notably, in the following excerpt, the Charter requires the 219 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 223 of 266 Page 14 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II auditor general to document issues raised by the SME and the VTA staff but does not require that the full Board be advised of the critical issues: To ensure transparency and balanced oversight, selected advisory input from SME will be documented in Oversight Committee materials. Where consensus exists between the SME and the Project Team, it will be noted. Where minority or dissenting views are expressed, the AG [auditor general] will explicitly record final input received alongside the majority view (VTA Oversight Committee Charter, 2026). During Oversight Committee meetings, there are few deliberations or actions to provide collective guidance or oversight, leaving individual members to raise questions and propose guidance for VTA staff to consider. VTA staff also receives input from individual members in private pre- meeting briefings. As a result, the full Board does not benefit from Oversight Committee analysis, and the public is not fully informed about individual Board member perspectives. The Committee Has Two Purposes: Guidance and Oversight “Guidance” suggests that the committee helps the Board establish a strategic direction and recommend actions to keep the project on track. “Oversight,” on the other hand, is a separate function that ensures VTA staff is accountable for following the Board’s direction in an efficient and effective manner. “Guidance” looks forward. “Oversight” monitors implementation as it happens. Better at Oversight than Guidance The Oversight Committee requires VTA staff to produce a comprehensive monthly report detailing the financing and construction progress of the BSVII project. The auditor general provides insightful periodic reports on his independent review of the project’s costs, risks, and schedule. The VTA staff’s monthly reports address the information gap identified in the auditor general’s January 2024 report. As a result, the Oversight Committee can effectively monitor compliance with the Board’s direction. However, the Oversight Committee often fails to provide guidance on issues critical to future strategic direction. 220 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 224 of 266 Page 15 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II Strategic Guidance on Critical Issues is Informal, Intermittent, and Often Late VTA staff routinely provide private briefings to Oversight Committee members prior to meetings. Those briefings allow VTA staff to explain and advocate for their recommendations and to receive input and questions from individual members. Occasionally, some agenda materials for an Oversight Committee meeting are not published with the rest of the agenda because VTA staff members will modify presentations up to the last minute based on what they have heard in private briefings. The Oversight Committee has established an informal standard of limiting its once-monthly meetings to no more than two hours, and meetings often do not begin on time. At the meetings, VTA staff often deliver lengthy presentations on issues for which it will subsequently seek Board approval, leaving little time for committee deliberations. During these presentations, only a few members ask questions, and rarely does a committee member propose a policy recommendation that the Oversight Committee might take action on. Individual Oversight Committee members are given the opportunity to express support or concern about a proposed VTA staff position, providing VTA staff with some insight into how to frame their recommendations to the Board. The Oversight Committee receives independent analyses from the VTA auditor general, its contracted SME, and the PMOC. The committee often receives lengthy written comments from the public but limits oral comments to one minute. Members of the committee rarely comment on materials received from the public, many of which are extensive critiques of the VTA staff recommendations. Following each meeting, the Oversight Committee chair submits a short report summarizing discussion topics, which is placed on the VTA Board’s consent calendar. Following presentation to the Oversight Committee, formal VTA staff recommendations are made to the VTA Board, but without the benefit of a summary or synthesis of the alternative perspectives from the auditor general, SME, PMOC, or informed public comment. The Civil Grand Jury identified three examples of policy issues for which guidance was needed but delivered inadequately. One of the examples, the single-bore versus twin-bore issue, illustrates both the failure of the committee to make recommendations and the VTA staff’s failure to follow through on committee requests in a timely manner. 221 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 225 of 266 Page 16 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II Example of Inadequate Guidance: The KST Contract Decision The Oversight Committee endorsed a major contract change without providing independent analysis, articulating its rationale, or conveying identified risks to the Board. VTA had issued a contract to a construction consortium, Kiewit Shea Traylor (KST), using a “progressive/design/build” approach, under which KST would design the tunnel project and, after reviews by VTA and its construction management consultant, KST would build it. By the spring of 2025, VTA believed that KST’s proposed design could significantly increase the project’s estimated cost by up to $1 billion and that it would be preferable to engage in a competitive bidding process for the remaining tunnel work. In a more traditional contract approach, VTA would prepare the design specifications and contract conditions. To accomplish this, it was necessary to limit the contract with KST to only the work required to prepare for the TBM, which VTA would own but make available to the tunneling contractor to operate and maintain. At its June 12, 2025, meeting, VTA staff presented its proposal to modify the KST contract to the Oversight Committee, which unanimously endorsed it. Two weeks later, the VTA Board met and approved VTA staff recommendations. Although the VTA staff agenda report did include a reference to the Committee’s recommendation, it did not include the risk analysis that had been reviewed by the Committee. The Oversight Committee’s regular report to the VTA Board was placed on the consent calendar and simply reported the committee’s concurrence with the VTA staff recommendation. There was no report or analysis laying out the reasons for the Oversight Committee’s concurrence or the SME’s risk assessment. Therefore, the Board made its decision without a complete understanding of the risks. Example of Inadequate Guidance: The Twin-Bore versus Single-Bore Decision The Oversight Committee retroactively requested a side-by-side analysis of tunnel options through Downtown San José. A preliminary design controversy was whether to tunnel two smaller bores for the downtown San José underground tracks or to tunnel a single larger bore at greater depth. Downtown businesses had raised concerns that the twin-bore approach would require additional work and disrupt their operations during construction. BART initially opposed the single-bore tunnel approach because it differed from its existing, smaller twin-bore tunnels. However, the BART inspector general reported that in the spirit of 222 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 226 of 266 Page 17 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II cooperation, BART officials consented to the single-bore approach after being assured that operational and safety concerns would be met (BART, December 19, 2025). In December 2022, VTA approved the fabrication and purchase of a large TBM for $76 million, effectively locking in the single-bore approach. In a news article dated November 7, 2023, in the Mountain View Voice, San José Mayor Matt Mahan was quoted as saying: “There is no turning back now” (Hicks, 2023). Nonetheless, individual Board members and informed public commenters continued to raise questions about whether a twin-bore approach might be cheaper, faster, and safer for BART operations. In response, members of the Oversight Committee commissioned an analysis of the two options for costs, risks, and impact on schedules. In September 2025, more than 18 months after the request, VTA and its engineering consultants presented their analysis to the Oversight Committee, confirming the single-bore approach. Although it had requested the analysis, the Oversight Committee did not make a recommendation to the Board. In October 2025, the Board was presented with the VTA staff and consultants’ analysis and confirmed the single-bore approach by declining to take steps to amend the environmental documents or modify the tunneling contracts. Example of Inadequate Guidance: Scenario 1 versus 1a Decision In October 2025, VTA decided on an approach to the construction of the tunnel without the benefit of the SME’s analysis that the Oversight Committee had requested. Before design work could progress to a more advanced level, the VTA Board needed to decide between two alternatives for staging the actual tunneling work. The SME had suggested that concurrent tunneling from both ends could reduce costs and accelerate the schedule (VTA, June 12, 2025). The two options were labeled “Scenario 1” (a straight-through tunneling using the larger TBM from west-to-east) and “Scenario 1a” (an option of concurrent tunneling starting at both the east and west portals using two TBMs). Although this would require two TBMs, the east-to-west work could be done simultaneously with a smaller-bore tunneling machine. Further, the SME reported that a smaller-bore TBM was readily available and would require less lead time than the TBM being fabricated in Germany. Because the Oversight Committee considered the potential benefits significant, the committee asked both VTA staff and the SME to analyze the options and prepare a recommendation. On 223 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 227 of 266 Page 18 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II August 4, 2025, the Oversight Committee authorized an expenditure of $110,000 and directed the auditor general to contract with GZ for the requested work. GZ presented interim reports on September 11, 2025, and October 9, 2025, and promised to deliver its completed report at the November 2025 meeting of the Oversight Committee. VTA staff subsequently presented its analysis and recommendations to the Oversight Committee on October 9, 2025. Although the Project Manager stated that the VTA staff was aware of some of GZ’s preliminary analysis (especially differing assumptions about the rate at which each of the two TBMs can move forward when digging a tunnel), VTA staff requested a Board meeting to decide between the two alternatives. In prior presentations to the Oversight Committee, VTA staff said that the analysis would be presented at a Board “workshop” (at which no formal action could be taken). However, a special meeting of the Board was called for October 17, 2025, and VTA staff made its recommendations to the Board, neglecting to advise the Board that the Oversight Committee was still awaiting the GZ analysis that the Committee had authorized. The Oversight Committee failed to present any report or recommendation at the special meeting. As a result, the Board adopted ‘Scenario 1’ without the benefit of an independent analysis of the risks. On February 12, 2026, four months after the Board made its decision, the SME presented his written report analyzing the options and raising concerns that should have been considered before the decision. VTA Staff Accountability for Responding to Oversight Committee Member Requests The auditor general maintains two types of monitoring reports: a tracking report that lists the requests of individual committee members for information or analysis, and a work plan that lists the schedule for upcoming formal reports, including risk assessments such as financing and procurement risks. Both monitoring reports establish a due date, but the deadlines are often not met. During public meetings, Oversight Committee members rarely discuss the tracking report or the work plan and do not publicly comment on changes to the expected date in subsequent reports. More importantly, neither the auditor general nor the Oversight Committee holds VTA staff accountable for late responses to issues raised in the tracking report. Below, the Civil Grand Jury presents two examples: 224 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 228 of 266 Page 19 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II Example of Lack of Accountability: Prolonged Delay in Analysis of Single-Bore versus Twin-Bore The side-by-side analysis of two design options was not provided until more than 18 months after it was first requested. At the Oversight Committee’s first meeting in November 2023, a member of the public requested that the committee order a cost and risk analysis of the single-bore versus twin-bore options, which remained controversial following the VTA Board’s selection of the single-bore option in 2018. In 2023, the Chair of the Oversight Committee responded that such an “apples-to-apples” (side-by- side) analysis would be one of the committee’s first tasks. Here are some of the subsequent activities: • At the committee’s meeting on January 19, 2023, two committee members formally requested the “apples-to-apples” analysis and placed it on the committee’s tracking list. (VTA, March 2025). At its meeting on June 13, 2024, the Project Manager reported that the scope of the twin-bore analysis would be worked on and reported to the Board “over the course of the summer.” • At its meeting on August 8, 2024, a member of the public asked about the status of the “apples-to-apples” analysis. • At the September 12, 2024, Oversight Committee, the auditor general announced that VTA staff had asked engineering design contractor Mott Macdonald to conduct the “apples-to- apples” review. • The March 2025 tracking report included a comment regarding the “apples-to-apples” comparison: “These items are being evaluated as part of cost savings task force efforts with participation from GZ” (VTA, April 2024). • One year later, on September 11, 2025, Mott Macdonald presented its analysis of the twin- bore versus single-bore options – nearly 22 months after the request was first discussed at an Oversight Committee meeting – concluding that the single-bore option was preferred (VTA, September 11, 2025). Example of Lack of Accountability: An Alternative Strategy Some Call “Plan B” Despite multiple requests for an alternative strategy to address risks associated with the federal funding decision, VTA staff advised the Oversight Committee that it would wait until after the federal decision. Since the Oversight Committee meeting on October 9, 2025, committee members have stressed the need for an alternative strategy in the event the federal government delays or denies the FFGA 225 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 229 of 266 Page 20 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II for the promised $5.1 billion. Some committee members asked whether a “Plan B” might include reducing the number of planned stations or revising the funding strategy. VTA staff reported to the Civil Grand Jury that there was reluctance to discuss a “Plan B” out of concern that the discussion itself might jeopardize the FFGA. At public meetings, VTA staff dismissed requests for an alternative funding strategy, instead reporting that an alternative plan should not be prepared until the FTA made its decision in 2027. This is an example of the VTA staff’s dismissal of the Oversight Committee direction. Expediency of Decisions versus Rigorous Analysis The Civil Grand Jury identified tension between VTA Board members’ competing goals: avoiding delays in decision-making and requiring rigorous, independent analysis of costs, risks, and schedule. In public meetings, the Project Manager has often stated that each month of delay adds $20 to $30 million to the overall project cost (Dorsey, 2025). There is a strong financial incentive to keep the project moving by advancing decisions incrementally—approving one component at a time to show visible progress—without fully evaluating how each step alters the project’s overall cost, scope, and risk. For a project of this size, complexity, and cost, this piecemeal approach masks cumulative effects, increasing the likelihood of cost escalation and delays. These should be identified and addressed through rigorous, front- end analysis. With two-year terms and constituencies limited to portions of the County, Board members may understandably focus on immediate actions rather than the long-term, systemwide implications that demand a coherent strategic plan. The Role Assigned to the Auditor General The Oversight Committee benefits from periodic risk assessments and audits performed by the VTA auditor general on the BSVII project. However, by assigning the auditor general the responsibility to also provide staff support to the Oversight Committee, VTA has created a situation in which the auditor general is asked to provide an independent audit of prior decisions while also assisting the committee in evaluating future policy and management decisions. At the June 2025 public Board meeting, the auditor general stated that he sometimes feels like a referee among the analyses provided by VTA staff, the SME, the public, and the PMOC. However, the VTA Board is the final arbiter, not the auditor general. 226 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 230 of 266 Page 21 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II The Board is best served when it hears all relevant views on an upcoming decision and is presented with options and a recommendation. The auditor general’s participation and input are critical, but he should not be placed in the position of having to synthesize all the competing views, including his own. The auditor general is better placed to assist the Oversight Committee in its role of “oversight” and less so in commenting on the Oversight Committee's “guidance” functions. Accordingly, the Oversight Committee and the VTA Board would be better served if a VTA staff person were assigned responsibility for staffing the committee. This person could be part of the General Manager’s Office and should not report to the Project Manager. The position would be like that of the chief of staff, which was recently assigned to support the chair of the Board. Coordination with BART Because the County of Santa Clara is not part of the BART District, the extension of rail service to San José required a contract that established both VTA’s and BART’s commitment to cooperate. Under the 2001 Cooperative Agreement, VTA is financially responsible for paying for the design, construction, and operation of the segment in Santa Clara County (BART and VTA, Comprehensive Agreement, 2001). BART retained approval authority over design elements that affect operations, maintenance, and safety. To date, this has been accomplished through the joint preparation of a Design Criteria Manual. As recently as December 2025, BART’s Independent Office of the Inspector General (OIG) issued a report titled: “Transparency & Communication Gaps in the BSVII Project.” The report summarizes years of controversy over the single-bore versus twin-bore approach but acknowledges that BART eventually agreed to the single-bore concept evaluated in the final environmental impact statement. However, the BART OIG remained critical of the extent of cooperation between the two agencies: We also determined that the length of time since the project began, extensive media coverage of the project, conflicting subject-matter opinions, and some public displeasure with the single-bore design have created uncertainty about the project’s direction. We concluded that gaps in transparency and communication, including limited public discussions in recent years, have resulted in mixed messaging on a project that has evolved over multiple decades (BART Independent Office of the Inspector General, 2025). In August 2025, the lack of communication and cooperation was publicly exposed when a BART official wrote a letter to VTA (Appendix A) specifically objecting to the consideration of reducing 227 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 231 of 266 Page 22 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II the size of the Newhall Yard and Maintenance Facility as a capital cost-saving measure. The VTA Project Manager publicly acknowledged a failure to keep BART informed of design issues that might impact BART’s operational efficiency and pledged to develop recommendations to the administrative heads of both agencies on a more formal process to identify and resolve those issues (VTA Oversight Committee, 2025). Board Experience and Continuity Since 2019, five audits and reports have critiqued VTA’s governance structure and recommended a series of revisions to improve VTA’s capability to provide Board direction and oversight of the BART extension. Those audits have included the 2018-19 Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury in 2019; the Auditor of the State of California, in 2024; the BART Independent Office of the Inspector General in 2025; RSM US LLC, a VTA subcontractor, in 2019; and the VTA Auditor General in 2024. VTA has accepted and acted on most of the recommendations for governance reform, except those relating to the terms and required experience level of Board members. During the investigation of the BSVII project, sources repeatedly raised concerns about the level of knowledge and decision-making ability of the full VTA Board, which is responsible for the project’s success. Decisions made today will have a direct impact on its ultimate success. Diligent oversight of its schedule, cost, progress, and scope is required. According to the California Public Utilities Code, which established the VTA Board, “to the extent possible, the appointing powers shall appoint individuals who have expertise, experience, or knowledge relative to transportation issues” (Pub. Util. Code 10000 et seq). VTA Board members are appointed to two-year terms by appointing agencies, organized into six groups as detailed in Table 3. Appointing agency groups are established and defined by VTA Administrative Code, which states “Appointing Authorities are strongly encouraged, where possible, to: (1) appoint individuals with appropriate experience and qualifications in transportation; (2) ensure that there is sufficient remaining time in the elected official’s term of office to allow full completion of their term as a Director; and (3) reappoint representatives to consecutive terms” (VTA Administrative Code § 2-13). 228 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 232 of 266 Page 23 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II Table 3: Appointing Authorities Composition of the VTA Board Appointing Agency Group Jurisdiction Represented Number of Board Members Method of Appointment Group 1 San José 5 members 1 alternate Appointed by city council from city council members/mayor Group 2 Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Mountain View, Palo Alto 1 member 1 alternate Determined by Group 2 members Group 3 Campbell, Cupertino, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, Saratoga 1 member 1 alternate Determined by Group 3 members Group 4 Gilroy, Morgan Hill 1 member 1 alternate Determined by Group 4 members Group 5 Milpitas, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale 2 members 1 alternate Determined by Group 5 members Group 6 County of Santa Clara 2 members 1 alternate Appointed by County Board of Supervisors Source: California Pub. Util. Code section 100060. While VTA continues to insist that two-year terms are suitable for its governance (as specified in PUC § 100060.2), peer agencies in the state appoint their Board members to four-year terms, leading to much longer average lengths of service and potentially greater experience and transportation-related knowledge (see Figure 2). Multiple reports and audits have suggested weaknesses introduced by VTA’s approach to the appointment of Board members. For example, the 2019 Board Governance Assessment concluded, in part, that some processes and policies (e.g., committee structure, term limits, and Board member selection guidelines) might not reflect best practices or support long-term Board stability (VTA, 2019). Additionally, a report by the 2018-19 Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury found that the VTA Board suffers from: • A lack of experience and limited continuity by many Board members; • Inadequate time for the directors to devote to the Board’s oversight and policy-making functions; • A lack of engagement by some of the directors, fostered in part by the committee system, resulted in VTA functioning largely as a staff-driven organization. More recently, a critical 2024 report from the State Auditor regarding VTA’s project management and financial oversight noted the following weaknesses: 229 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 233 of 266 Page 24 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II • The process for selecting directors for the Board is not always transparent enough to ensure the appointment of directors experienced in transportation issues. • Some groups of cities appoint VTA directors without public deliberation, limiting transparency and sometimes bypassing the statutory recommendation for transportation expertise. • VTA directors have shorter tenures, on average, than their peers, meaning that VTA’s Board has less experience overseeing the agency’s operations than the Boards of peer agencies. Figure 2: Average Directors’ Tenure among VTA and Peer Agencies Source: Auditor of the State of California, “Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, Improvements Are Necessary to Strengthen Its Project Management and Financial Oversight,” June 2024. Note: LA Metro stands for Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority; OCTA stands for Orange County Transportation Authority; SacRT stands for Sacramento Regional Transit District. During interviews and in reviewing existing reports and audits about VTA, the Civil Grand Jury learned that Board members and elected officials broadly support a four-year term for directors. Lengthening terms would require a change to VTA’s enabling legislation. The findings of the State and VTA’s own auditors’ governance reform recommendations remain unchanged. 230 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 234 of 266 Page 25 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II Public Communication Following the VTA auditor general’s report in January 2024, public communication and community outreach regarding the BSVII project have improved. The Civil Grand Jury noted improvements to the VTA BSVII project website, including efforts to deliver timely updates to residents about the impact of construction activities, and a section for frequently asked questions (FAQ) (VTA, BART Silicon Valley Phase II Project, n.d.). In addition, many interviewees told the Civil Grand Jury that VTA has made efforts to better inform the public and officials since the auditor general's report highlighted communication breakdowns in 2023. However, there are areas where the public would benefit from VTA focusing more on improving communication. The VTA’s BSVII project website does not offer a simple, clear dashboard outlining the costs, timeline, and progress of the BSVII project. Although it includes technical reports from the federally sponsored PMOC, it does not include the independent analyses by the SME or the VTA auditor general. A high-level dashboard would consolidate information from multiple sources, present project metrics to the public, and provide access to source materials. Today, information on funding, expenditures, and schedule status is available on the website, but is buried in layers of reports that are nonintuitive to find or navigate. In addition, the Civil Grand Jury found the site’s search function inadequate for locating specific details or addressing questions not covered in the FAQ, and it often returned results for irrelevant materials. The website would be more user-friendly if VTA incorporated a more robust search engine. 231 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 235 of 266 Page 26 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II CONCLUSION The VTA Board has failed in its responsibility to provide effective management, oversight, and financial control of the BSVII Project. Based on its investigation, the Civil Grand Jury concludes: • There is no realistic plan to deal with foreseeable financial risks, including significant uncertainty about BSVII’s construction and operating costs, reliance on expiring voter- approved sales tax measures, uncertain federal government support, cash flow, and declining ridership. • When considering major scope and design decisions, the Oversight Committee and the VTA Board do not take into account the ongoing operations and maintenance costs that will be borne by VTA and will require voter approval of subsequent sales tax measures. • The Oversight Committee exercises its oversight responsibility by requiring monthly progress reports and by questioning VTA project staff, but when it declines to make recommendations to the VTA Board, it fails in its responsibility to provide guidance on critical policy issues. • The Oversight Committee receives valuable input from multiple sources but does not share this information with the VTA Board in the form of helpful reports that synthesize the different perspectives of VTA staff, the Subject Matter Expert, the auditor general, the Project Management Oversight Consultant, and the public. • The VTA Board and the Oversight Committee have failed to hold VTA staff accountable for missing deadlines to provide analysis and information requested by members of the Oversight Committee. • There is a lack of meaningful communication and cooperation between BART and VTA officials, which undermines public confidence. • VTA’s failure to adopt governance reform recommendations from prior Civil Grand Jury reports and independent audits has led to a lack of Board member continuity and expertise, weakening the Board’s ability to successfully oversee the BSVII project. 232 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 236 of 266 Page 27 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Finding 1 The BSVII project currently requires voter approval of additional sales tax measures to address gaps in construction and operations funding. Recommendation 1 VTA should adopt and publish a strategy for the completion and operation of the project that reduces dependency on new sales tax measures. This should be implemented by December 31, 2026. Finding 2 VTA does not maintain a cash-flow model for the BSVII project. Recommendation 2 The VTA Board should direct the General Manager to prepare a cash-flow model for the BSVII project and present it quarterly to the Oversight Committee and the Board. This should be implemented by December 31, 2026. Finding 3 VTA has not developed an alternative funding strategy for the project in the event that planned funding sources are unavailable or insufficient. Recommendation 3 The VTA Board should direct the General Manager to prepare an alternative funding strategy to meet the project’s estimated total capital costs and VTA’s responsibility for operating and maintenance costs and present it to the Oversight Committee and Board for approval. This should be implemented by December 31, 2026. Finding 4 Project management does not consistently report the operating and maintenance cost implications of design and construction decisions to the Oversight Committee or the Board. 233 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 237 of 266 Page 28 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II Recommendation 4 VTA should adopt a policy requiring staff to present an analysis of operating and maintenance costs when considering design and construction alternatives for BSVII. This should be implemented by December 31, 2026. Finding 5 The VTA Board would benefit from longer terms of office to improve continuity and institutional knowledge. Recommendation 5 VTA should reconsider its prior rejections of audit recommendations calling for the establishment of four-year terms and direct its legislative advocates to seek a legislative author to amend VTA’s enabling statute to require four-year terms. This should be implemented by December 31, 2026 Finding 6 VTA Board Appointing Authority Groups 2 through 5 often do not follow VTA Administrative Code (Section 2-14) admonitions to “appoint individuals with appropriate experience and qualifications in transportation” and to “reappoint representatives to consecutive terms.” Recommendation 6 VTA Board Appointing Authority Groups 2 through 5 should certify to the VTA Board that they will adhere to VTA Administrative Code (Section 2-14) admonitions, regarding Board member expertise and appointment to consecutive terms. This should be implemented by December 31, 2026. Finding 7 VTA Board Appointing Authority Groups 2 through 5 have different processes for making Board appointments. 234 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 238 of 266 Page 29 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II Recommendation 7 The cities represented in Appointing Authority Groups 2 through 5 should agree on a uniform process for making Board appointments. This should be implemented by December 31, 2026. Finding 8 The role assigned to the auditor general is outside the traditional scope of an auditor’s responsibilities and has introduced conflict and uncertainty among VTA staff and the Oversight Committee. Being involved in the management and policy-making process threatens the auditor general’s independence. Recommendation 8 The Board should implement an alternative model for supporting the Oversight Committee that does not rely on the auditor general to provide services such as agenda preparation, monitoring of VTA staff assignments, or preparation of a synthesis of multiple independent inputs to the Committee’s deliberations. This should be implemented by December 31, 2026 Finding 9 The Board of Directors has not approved the bylaws, nor the charter of the Oversight Committee. Recommendation 9 VTA should formally adopt a revised Charter for the Oversight Committee, setting the Board’s expectations on the following issues: • Defining the role of the auditor general to no longer require him to supervise the presentations by VTA staff to the Oversight Committee; • The responsibility of the Oversight Committee to report regularly to the Board on the independent analyses of costs, risks, and schedule by the PMOC and any SMEs; and to provide the Oversight Committee’s synthesis of those analyses with recommendations to resolve conflicts when necessary; • The responsibility of the Oversight Committee to consider and present its recommendations before the Board considers major decisions such as scope of the project, contracting, risk management, budgeting, and funding strategy; 235 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 239 of 266 Page 30 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II • The responsibility of the Oversight Committee to hold subject matter experts accountable for timely analysis of costs, risk, and schedule; • The responsibility of the Oversight Committee to report to the Board on the implications of design and construction issues that impact future ongoing operations and maintenance costs to be borne by VTA. This should be implemented by December 31, 2026. Finding 10 VTA’s vtabart.org website is poorly organized and not always intuitive to navigate, making it hard to find information about the status, cost, and schedule of the BSVII project. Recommendation 10 The VTA Board should direct the General Manager to implement and maintain a project dashboard on its vtabart.org website that includes status, cost, and schedule information. This should be implemented by October 31, 2026. 236 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 240 of 266 Page 31 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II REQUIRED RESPONSES Pursuant to California Penal Code section 933(a) et seq. and California Penal Code section 933.05, the 2025-26 Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury requests responses from the following governing bodies: Responding Agency Findings Recommendations VTA Board of Directors 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10 County of Santa Clara, Board of Supervisors 6 6 The City of Campbell, City Council 6, 7 6, 7 The City of Cupertino, City Council 6, 7 6, 7 The City of Gilroy, City Council 6, 7 6, 7 The City of Los Altos, City Council 6, 7 6, 7 The Town of Los Altos Hills, Town Council 6, 7 6, 7 The Town of Los Gatos, Town Council 6, 7 6, 7 The City of Milpitas, City Council 6, 7 6, 7 The City of Monte Sereno, City Council 6, 7 6, 7 The City of Morgan Hill, City Council 6, 7 6, 7 The City of Mountain View, City Council 6, 7 6, 7 The City of Palo Alto, City Council 6, 7 6, 7 The City of San José, City Council 6, 7 6, 7 The City of Santa Clara, City Council 6, 7 6, 7 The City of Saratoga, City Council 6, 7 6, 7 The City of Sunnyvale, City Council 6, 7 6, 7 237 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 241 of 266 Page 32 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II APPENDIX A: BART Management Letter 238 CC 09-01-2026 Searchable Packet 242 of 266 Page 33 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II Page 33 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II Page 33 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II Page 33 of 40 VTA’S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II VTA'S MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT OF BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II kai BART SILICON VALLEY PHASE II (BSV I) BART remai n s fully c ommitted to the success ful del ivery of this critical regio nal investmen t .
