The Mayor replied that there is nothing that says cities have
to enter into any a6re-ement. We have been working with the School
District. I bellow it will be met with favorable reaction. This
has been Wpertino's bid to show good faith and work with the district.
We are acting in good faith and In the interest of everyone concerned.
Councilasn Dempster. we did pass Resolution T03 to this effect.
'ibis was forwarded to the City of Santa Class and therl received It in
good faith, and were veal pleased we are willing to cooperate. I
reel that we will do everything within our power to cooperate with
the City of Santa Clara and ieoidecta on all sides.
A copy of 1Mselstim 703 was also called to Mr. Brlgg:s.
Mr. Bill Bomm, City Planner rem' the emy of soma Clare,

am dewlopoent to daunt will be all hope for. In regard to the need
!bare is for a r'essome s boundary between the two cities, w hope Ton
511M understand. ' it is tbm hope of the city of Mints Claw that the
traffic inb, the new pLmR will be controlled.
r\yor Baaetts: Up real as you do. We rent this to develop sore
then anyone else. Cupertino has had the opporumity to prow in tl
►asrt that what they ens today will core about. At one time me sere
enlled 3n to give Up inewtry to protect our neighbors. This meant
lass of revenue but we did give this up.
W. Bngers asked if Santa Clare's Planner could work with
Capertino's planner on this matter.
Mayor Benettl: I bo;e we don't get too far off on this. We are
willing to listen to any expert in the field. We are not trying to
figure this out ourselves. If you have some experts, bring them along.
ti.7an and the City both have experts worsting on this.
Mr. Everett sathen, 3839 Melody rare, Santa Clare. reported that
the Jefferson School District adopted the position that they were
aweit!.g an anticipated meeting of minds between Cupertino and
Santa Clara. Ban any action or plans been underway so that tlwe dis-
trict might be advised of that meeting and act accordingly.
The Mayor replied that the Resolution was the Council's answer.
We have assured the City of Santa Clara as all other cities around us.
that we rant to do what is right for all concerned.
Mr. Thomas Thornton. 1T90 lark lane. Chateau lest, Santa Clara,
wbo is rot a resident of the annexation property, asked if he had the
right to oppose. lie Lalod if Council is entertaining objections to
rezoning all the annexation.
The City Attorney answered that the resolutiom, stated that as
to the develupaent of the property. all persons will be heard regard-
less of place of residents; the City realizes this is mope than a
local coreere. time Government Code provides that protests can only
be filed by property owners residing witn?n the arnaatation. Tlris
annasation establishes a common boundary line between the 04ty of
Cupertino and Smvgvale. when the question of the use to vMch this,
should be put, then yve should be heard as to the thinking in pro -
teeting your own ln',erssts.

V ASWIMM. DQSlIt , Ct 327'
Mr. Tom Pam, MY Uwdlton Ave., San Jose, from Los Tom, was
present for any questions the Council eight haw.
The City Atbwomy wported that this was presented at the last
Council meting, that it wag a request for setting up the public improve -
rsats in an assessment district. This is somewhat a departure rzom our
Policy whereby tot develoAer gat put in curbs, gutters and sidewalks.
They have requested that an assessment district be met up. This wyald
give the developer a period r' time to repel the moray.
Councilman Finch asked what this required of the City.
"be City lhnarar replied that the City void.', he" to approve it.

The ineeris:g Depeetment would have to check all the work, and the
City Attorney and the developer's attorney would work together to pre-
ps" the leg&, documents.
The ^ouncilmen asked for the advantagez and disadvanta -es to the
City, also If this would hold up the Improvements.
City Attorney: It is somewhat difficult for a Council to
familiarize itself with the assessments and a trial run on a short one
like this say be of some beneV t. Tien is no legal liability to the
City. Other than the time involved in passing three to five resolutions,
there is no time delay. Bonds would, be let ar4 sold immediately. The
City Treasurer would have to sign the bands. Secondly, in order to
Interest the City, the information was paaned on to me that ox or more
Of the developers are attempting to work art something of a contribution
on the bu!lding of the bridge. In order to get the financing and raise
the money to pay for the bridge, then the City would get the Oxley. I
think the first benefit is more important.
T think we should learn to think on the assessment level. The
City of San Jose has approximately 25 assesarlent procedures going. The
County Treasurer haralles all our assessment&. This is only a courtesy
to the developer, out of which we get funds for the bridge. This is
simply a legal means by which a developer can put in public streets,
one is the assessment method, the other is cold cash which requires
big interest rates to the banks. Sacramento ram built this way.
Councilman Saich asked how much road was involved. "_be City
!lugger replied - a 30' street. The Main street is Wolfe Road, which
would Le 9o'.
City Attorney: These world run $100,000. The reason I think they
are Coming into us is that the market is co good for sunicipal bonds
It is arch leas expensive than raising cash from a bank. A letter was
mailed to the City Council on this.
Mr. Pam answered 0ouncilsan Jewett's question about time delay.
There is absolutely no delay, all imrpovements are anticipated in about
about 30 or 45 dayr. before the bonds ever cane up. We M all expenses.
We ors agreeable that this be paid directly to the City out of the assess-
, 0190 any incidental expenses arising from this. Pbrtalnbleu feels
as we do, but I don't speak for them. They have every intention of
going along with it if Council's action is favorable. When Councilmen
asked Why this as being lbe'esented this my. instead of straight
basis• Mr. Pans rep110d that It waa for firancial reasons. The
land pa091a,4 14 a salt to me -3- subsequent to the improvements -
being accepted by the C•.ty.
City Attorney: The developer requests the City to pass the
afimasary rerolutions so that the assessment district bands ^an be sold.
$125,000 in Lends are assigned over to some 'broker. Be them takes
Aveseds of sale for cash he has in the Job. It's at 6% simple
Interest. There is no responsibility to the city at all. It takes a
public agency to conduct hearings. In the petition, the developer
wives protest.

Mr. 14sa was asked if he would consider getting together with
the other developer concerned and coma in together. & replied that
this is an individual project, and a two -week delay would work a haxd-
ship.
Mayor Benetti stated that he couldn't vote favorably because of
the many questions in his mind on this.
- the City Attbrnsy pointed out that there is nothing before the
body nor. A feragl petition will bring some action.
It was moved by Councilman Finch and seconded by Councilman
Dempster that the matter be continued to March 4. Motion carried
5 -0.

VIZ MISCELLANEOUS
Councilman Dempster: Since the City Manager Is going to inter-
view architects, I would like to set a fee schedule so that there
will be a basis to present to the architects. I presented a fee
schedule obtained from the County to the City Manager. This has been
used over a numuer of years. I would like to see this settled before
anything gets started. This schedule is more strict than the AIA 's
fee schedule. Where breaking points are, they are more lenient.
The City Manager read the fee schedule:
1. 1b 100,000 8% of project cost
2. $1CO,000 to $200,000
3. $200,000 to $500,000
4. $500,000 to $1,000,000
S. $1,000,004) to $2,000,000
$8,000 + TO of project cost
over $100,000
$15,500 + T% in excess of
$200,000
$36,500 + 6J% of project cost
in excess of $500,00
$69,000 + 6% in exceso of
$1,000,000
Councilman Jewett. I believe this is a good point, but we can't do
anything with a schedule like this. I would like to see the fee
schedules presented by applicants.
Councilmen Pinch: I don't want an architect cutting his fee,
mo I think this is the wrong apLroach. If they are all bidding on a
certain schedule, we would get a truer schedule.
Councilmn Dempster: we are new at this thing. This is what
the Oomty come up with and they nave been in the basirwesa for a longer
ties than e.

Counclican Jewett wished to dlscuos this with the County more to
get their feelings on the schedule.
It was decided by Council that the City Manager should use the
County fee schedule as a guide, a rule of thumb, in Interviewing
architects.
