PUBLIC COMMENT (including comments on all agenda items) This item was not conducted as the Chair decided to take public comments on agenda items when the agenda items were discussed. AGENDA REVIEW This item was not conducted. ACTION ITEMS 2. Subject: Legislative Update Recommended Action: Receive legislative update and provide any input 7 Legislative Review Committee Draft Minutes July 23, 2021 TPA explained that the legislature is currently in their summer recess and are set to return on August 16th. There is work being done behind the scenes by staff and committees preparing for the end of session. Once the legislators return there is a quick 4-week turn around time to finalize all bills by September 10th. The legislature and the Governor were able to agree on a completed budget as of now, so the budget is basically complete. We do expect to have more budget trailer bills that the legislature will consider at the end of session. This budget has $75 billion of general fund surplus in addition to the $27 billion coming from the federal government American Rescue Plan funding. This money will be going to homelessness, local governments, and broadband services that will be administered by new grant programs. The legislature also made modifications to the eviction moratorium to provide 100% of rental arrearages. In education, community colleges and schools throughout the state have to provide plans before bringing their students back for the next school year. Public Comment: Jennifer Griffin asked about the status of SB 9 and SB 10 TPA explains that SB 9 will most likely not fail, but it could be held in the Appropriations Committee. SB 10 does not have a fiscal component to the state, so this bill is currently on the Assembly floor and is eligible to be considered at any floor session. Councilmember Moore asked for an update on AB 1401. TPA explained that this bill was approved by the Housing Committee as well as the governance and finance committee after it was amended to only apply to local governments that are in counties with a population of 600,000 or more. 3. Subject: Update on positions taken by the League of California Cities (League) and the Cities Association of Santa Clara County (CASCC) Recommended Action: Receive update on positions taken by the League and CASCC and provide any input TPA explains that the organizations are currently modifying existing positions based on amendments that have happened as part of the committee process. The League recently considered ACA 7 and they took a watch position. Since it is a constitutional amendment it does not have the same timeline as other bills do. If they want to place this on next year’s ballot they would have to get it on there by February of next year. Public Comment: Jennifer Griffin asked about the process of constitutional amendments. 8 Legislative Review Committee Draft Minutes July 23, 2021 TPA explains that constitutional amendments are not subject to the same deadlines as assembly bills and senate bills. These bills cannot be considered when the legislature is out on session and still need to be taken up within the legislative session timeline. 4. Subject: Consider adopting a position on AB 215 (Chiu) Housing Element: regional housing need: relative progress determination Recommended Action: Adopt an oppose position on AB 215 and authorize the Mayor to send letters to the state legislature TPA explains that there have been significant amendments to this bill after the summary report was finalized. In particular, the part of the bill that removes the provisions that a jurisdiction would need to obtain a pro-housing designation, was removed. Another amendment specified that mid-cycle consultations would be required for jurisdictions whose RHNA progress is less than half of the relative progress for the median jurisdiction within the region. Councilmember Moore asked if the recommended action for this bill should change based on the new amendments. TPA explains that there were four major points which explain why they recommend an oppose position and the first two bullet points were somewhat addressed and if we were only basing the opposition on that then we would maybe move to a watch position. However, the bill still undermines local control and does not allow for public comment on the housing elements, so it is still recommended to oppose this bill. Public Comment: Jennifer Griffin expressed her opposition to this bill Action Taken: Councilmember Moore motioned to take an oppose position on AB 215 and authorize the Mayor to send letters to the state legislature. Vice Mayor Chao seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. 5. Subject: Consider adopting a position on AB 816 (Chiu) State and local agencies: homelessness plan: Housing Trust Fund: housing projects Recommended Action: Adopt an oppose position on AB 816 and authorize the Mayor to send letters to the state legislature TPA explained that this bill was significantly amended and now the bill only deals with funds that come to the state through the federal housing trust fund and would authorize HCD to prioritize funding for projects that serve people experiencing homelessness. The provisions in the bill that would have warranted an oppose position have been stricken, along with 80% of the original bill. TPA recommended taking a 9 Legislative Review Committee Draft Minutes July 23, 2021 watch position on this bill and will review it once the legislature returns from session. If it is amended to include a revised version of the amendments then the LRC can consider this bill again at a future meeting. Public Comment: Jennifer Griffin is concerned that this bill is for micromanaging local cities and is concerned that this bill might be gut and amended. TPA explained that all bills have to be in print at least 72 hrs. before they get voted on, any amendments would restart the 72 hr. timeline. Action Taken: Councilmember Moore motioned to take a watch position on AB 816. Vice Mayor Chao seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. 6. Subject: Consider adopting a position on SB 52 (Dodd) State of Emergency: Local Emergency: Sudden and Severe Energy Shortage: Planned Power Outage Recommended Action: Adopt a support position on SB 52 and authorize the Mayor to send letters to the state legislature TPA explained that this bill defines a deenergization event as a planned power outage event. This enables that event as a condition for constituting a local emergency. This allows local jurisdictions to claim reimbursements and to work with emergency assistant organizations. This bill has been moving through the process without any opposition and is publicly supported by the League and other environmental organizations. Public Comment: Jennifer Griffin expressed that this bill could make it easier for cities to recover their losses in the case of an emergency Action Taken: Vice Mayor Chao motioned to take a support position on SB 52 and authorize the Mayor to send letters to the state legislature. Councilmember Moore seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. 7. Subject: Consider adopting a position on SB 99 (Dodd) Community Energy Resilience Act of 2021 Recommended Action: Adopt a support position on SB 99 and authorize the Mayor to send letters to the state legislature 10 Legislative Review Committee Draft Minutes July 23, 2021 TPA explained that this measure would direct the California Energy Commission (CEC) to develop and implement a grant and technical assistance program to help local governments develop plans and projects to help reduce adverse impacts from power interruptions. This bill requires the CEC to take a number of steps to develop those plans. This has moved through the Senate with broad support and is now in the Appropriations Committee. There is no official opposition to this bill. This bill, if passed, will be worked into a budget trailer bill. Public Comment: Jennifer Griffin expressed her support for this bill. Councilmember Moore asked if this is for only low income communities. TPA explained that the bill is not exclusively limited to disadvantaged communities Action Taken: Vice Mayor Chao motioned to take a support position on SB 99 and authorize the Mayor to send letters to the state legislature. Councilmember Moore seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. 8. Subject: Discuss Town Hall on Legislative Process Recommended Action: Discuss and provide input on Town Hall on Legislative Process TPA is scheduled to make a presentation on how to engage in the legislative process at the August 17 Council Meeting. In addition, the future Town Hall will be another opportunity to educate the community on the legislative process. Vice Mayor Chao wondered if it would be best to schedule this in October or November once the legislative session is over. In addition, the LRC discussed possibly having a special Council meeting where legislators can come and discuss their positions. Staff will consider possible dates. FUTURE AGENDA SETTING The Legislative Day is tentatively scheduled for August 18th. The next LRC meeting is scheduled for September 17th at 11:00 a.m. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 5:30 p.m. 11 CITY OF CUPERTINO Agenda Item 21-9878 Agenda Date: 9/17/2021 Agenda #: 2.

PUBLIC COMMENT (including comments on all agenda items) This item was not conducted as the Chair decided to take public comments on agenda items when the agenda items were discussed. AGENDA REVIEW This item was not conducted. ACTION ITEMS 1. Subject: Consider adopting a position on AB 1174 (Grayson) Planning and zoning: housing: development application modifications, approvals, and subsequent permits Recommended Action: Adopt an oppose position on AB 1174 and authorize the Mayor to send a letter to the Governor TPA explained that this measure was approved by the Legislature in early September and is now being considered by the Governor, along with about 800 other bills that were approved during the last few weeks of the legislative session. The Governor has until October 10 to make a decision on all of the bills that were approved by the Legislature. This bill makes the following changes to the SB 35 approval process: 13 Legislative Review Committee Draft Minutes September 13, 2021 • The project approval would remain valid for three years from the date of the final judgment (codifying HCD’s incorrect interpretation of the present statute). • The project approval would then remain valid as long as construction activity, including demolition and grading activity, remains “in progress”. • If the applicant requests a project modification, the time during which the approval remains valid would be extended for the number of days between the submittal of the modification request and the date of its final approval, plus an additional 180 days. • The definition of “affordable rent” would be amended for projects having at least 500 affordable units approved before Jan. 1, 2019 (i.e., the Vallco project), such that the rent for 70% of the units is likely to be somewhat higher (although still below market rate). • The bill would prohibit the application of new objective building standards adopted after the date of the first building permit application without the consent of the applicant. • The bill would prohibit the application of objective standards adopted after the date the original development application was submitted in reviewing any application for a “subsequent permit,” including building permits, encroachment permits, and final maps. • For project modification requests, the bill would prohibit the application of new objective planning standards to “underground space” (i.e., the parking garage) without the consent of the applicant. These provisions are retroactive to projects that were approved prior to 2019. This bill moved through the legislative process with no formally registered opposition. This bill was sponsored by SPUR as well as the Bay Area Council. During the legislative process SPUR was the lead witness during most of the committee hearings. During the committee hearings there was no mention of specific SB 35 projects or the City in particular, however the provisions of the bill would directly impact the City and the Vallco project. TPA recommended that the LRC votes to authorize the Mayor to send a letter requesting a veto to the Governor. Additionally, TPA would like to schedule a meeting with the Governor’s Office to discuss the direct impact this bill would have on Cupertino. Councilmember Moore asked if this bill is constitutional. TPA explained that typically the Legislative Counsel evaluates the constitutionality on all bills and provides a confidential notice to the author and to the Governor’s Office. Since these evaluations are confidential there has been no known issue of constitutionality, but if there were, usually the author attempts to resolve those issues prior to it arriving to the Governor’s Office. TPA explained that the changes to the definition of affordability are a major concern 14 Legislative Review Committee Draft Minutes September 13, 2021 because it would increase the rent for 70% of the units that were already marked to be affordable housing. Councilmember Moore explained that the City granted concessions to the Vallco project based on the affordability of the units and now that this bill changes the definition of affordability, she is concerned about how those concessions will be addressed. Councilmember Moore asked if stalling the approval of a project could result in an attempt to clean up a hazardous site that otherwise would have never been approved. She mentions that the developer had the soils contamination report from 2016 showing there was an exceedance of residential screening levels, and that information was not given to the City. She continued to explain that the developer did not even apply for regulatory oversight until April 2021 when they had a September 2018 approval. TPA explained that the bill does extend the approval timeline, but it does not list hazardous waste site cleanup under the new definition of construction. Public Comment: Jennifer Griffin expressed her concerns on this bill. Action Taken: Councilmember Moore motioned to take an oppose position on AB 1174 and authorize the Mayor to send a letter requesting a veto to the Governor and request Townsend to contact the Governor’s Office. Vice Mayor Chao seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. FUTURE AGENDA SETTING No future agenda items were discussed.

Casey Elliott, Vice President Date: September 17, 2021 Subject: Legislative Update State Legislative Update On September 10th, the Legislature concluded the 2021 legislative session and adjourned for interim recess until January 3, 2022. In the two weeks leading up to adjournment, the Legislature considered hundreds of measures, ultimately sending nearly 900 bills to the Governor for his consideration. The Governor has until October 10th to sign or veto all bills that are awaiting action. As is generally the case, the Legislature deferred action on many of the most contentious bills until the final days of session. Over the course of the final week of session, numerous votes were taken on controversial bills, with many advancing to the Governor while others failed on the Floor or were moved to the Inactive File for lack of support. All bills that were not approved by the Legislature will be eligible for consideration next year. Some of the bills that were decided in the final days of session included: Public Meetings • AB 361 (R. Rivas) Would, until January 1, 2024, authorize a local agency to use teleconferencing without complying with the teleconferencing requirements imposed by the Ralph M. Brown Act when a legislative body of a local agency holds a meeting during a declared state of emergency, as that term is defined, when state or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, during a proclaimed state of emergency held for the purpose of determining, by majority vote, whether meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees, and during a proclaimed state of emergency when the legislative body has determined that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees, as provided. This bill was approved by the Legislature on the final night of session and has been sent to the Governor for his consideration. • AB 339 (Lee) creates standards for public participation and access for jurisdictions of at least 250,000 people to join and comment at open and public city council and county board of supervisor meetings, in-person and remotely, between January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2023. This measure was approved during the last days of session and has been sent to the Governor for his consideration. Local sales tax 17 2 • SB 792 (Glazer) requires specified retailers to include with their sales tax returns a schedule that reports the gross receipts from sales of property for each local jurisdiction where it shipped or delivered to a purchaser in that jurisdiction. This controversial measure was approved by the Assembly and Senate on the final night of session and has been sent to the Governor for his consideration.. Police Reform • SB 2 (Bradford) creates a process for law enforcement officers to be terminated if convicted of crimes or some forms of misconduct. In certain circumstances, such as if an officer is convicted of wrongful death, the bill would remove immunity protections, which shield public employees from civil lawsuits. Despite significant objections from law enforcement, this bill was approved and has been sent to the Governor for his consideration. • AB 48 (Gonzalez) bans police from using tear gas and “less-lethal” projectiles on protestors. This bill was introduced last year and was one of the bills that ran out of time, so it was reintroduced this session. The measure was approved during the last days of session and has been sent to the Governor for his consideration. • AB 118 (Kamlager) referred to as the CRISES Act, would create a pilot program for cities or counties to shift certain emergency response calls from law enforcement to community - based organizations. The bill would provide grants of at least $250,000 to communities to pilot the program. This bill was a reintroduction of a measure that was vetoed by the Governor last year. The measure was approved during the last days of session and has been sent to the Governor for his consideration. This year funding was allocated for the program as part of the budget act, and it is expected this bill will receive favorable consideration from the Governor. Protests • SB 742 (Pan) makes it a misdemeanor to intimidate, harass or obstruct patients and workers leaving or entering a vaccine site, punishable by a fine up to $1,000 and six months in jail. Despite being the subject of a large demonstration outside the Capitol in the final week of session, this measure was approved by the Legislature and has been sent to the Governor for his consideration. • SB 98 (McGuire) affirms journalists’ right to attend and cover protests, rallies, and other events, even in an area that has been closed by law enforcement. It would prevent police from detaining, arresting, or citing news media for failing to disperse. This measure was introduced in response to actions that have been carried out in large-scale protests over the last year. The measure was approved during the last day of session and has been sent to the Governor for his consideration. Housing and Land Use Legislation Update The final weeks of the legislative session saw the Assembly and Senate consider a number of key housing and land use bills. At the end of August, the Legislature passed the highly contentious SB 9 (Atkins), which would require the ministerial approval off a housing development of up to two units, or the subdivision of a parcel into two equal parcels. The bill is now in the Governor’s 18 3 Office for a signature or veto. At the same time as they considered SB 9, the Legislature also approved SB 10 (Wiener), which would permit a local government to pass an ordinance to rezone any parcel up to 10 units of residential density per parcel. Both bills have been sent to the Governor for his consideration. In addition to the passage of housing bills SB 9 and SB 10, numerous priority bills related to housing and land use were considered in the Assembly and Senate Appropriations Committees, as well as on the Assembly and Senate Floors. Below is a brief overview of a few housing and land use bills and their outcomes: • AB 215 (Chiu) increases the enforcement authority of HCD in relation to violations of state housing law. While this measure was amended to no longer require a mid -cycle RHNA evaluation by HCD, the bill still contains provisions related to housing element adoption and the establishment of a statute of limitations for actions brought forth in the housing enforcement process. AB 215 was ultimately approved by the Senate and Assembly on the final night of session and has been sent to the Governor for his consideration. • AB 989 (Gabriel) would establish an Office of Housing Appeals within the Department of Housing and Community Development to review projects that are alleged to have been denied or subjected to conditions in violations of the Housing Accountability Act. This measure was ultimately moved to the Inactive File on the Senate Floor in the closing days of session. • AB 1401 (Friedman), which would prohibit local governments from imposing or enforcing a minimum parking requirement on developments near public transit. This bill was held on the Senate Appropriations Committee Suspense File and was not further considered at the end of session. • SB 478 (Wiener), establishes a minimum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 1.0 for a housing development project consisting of three to seven units, and 1.25 for a housing development project consisting of eight to ten units. The bill also prohibits the enforcement of maximum lot coverage requirements that preclude building at the FAR established in the bill. These requirements would only apply on sites that are not zoned for single family, are not in historic districts, and are within or proximal to existing urban areas. Despite opposition from the Department of Finance, this measure was approved by the Legislature at the end of session and has been sent to the Governor for his consideration. Recall Election Update As the Legislature was working to conclude its business for the year, Governor Newsom has been busy campaigning throughout the state in advance of the September 14th recall election. If the recall is successful, Governor Newsom will remain in office until the election is certified. It is anticipated that the Secretary of State would take the full time that is permitted (30 business days) to certify the election. This would keep the Governor in office past the deadline for him to act on legislation. 19 4 In late August, a federal judge affirmed in a recent ruling that California’s recall process is constitutional. This follows some legal scholars questioning the process in recent weeks because the two-question recall ballot makes it possible for a candidate to replace Newsom with fewer votes. Two Los Angeles voters filed a federal suit challenging the recall process and asking a court to either cancel the election or to add Newsom’s name to the list of replacement candidates on the second part of the ballot. Judge Fitzgerald ruled that the plaintiff “plainly feels disgruntled that a replacement candidate with a small plurality might replace a sitting governor who, based on a robust ‘No’ vote, might well have beaten that same replacement candidate in a general election,” and that, “such disgruntlement raises no federal constitutional issues and certainly does not give the federal judiciary the right to halt the mammoth undertaking of this gubernatorial recall election.” Leading up to Election Day, early voter turnout indicated that there is significantly more interest in the recall election than many previously predicted. Prior to in-person voting on election day, over 35% of all ballots had been returned via mail, which is a significantly higher turnout than is traditional in off-year statewide special elections. An analysis of ballots that were turned in prior to Election Day indicated that registered Democrats were returning their ballots early, while more registered Republican voters were waiting, presumably to cast their votes in-person on the day of the election. Given the large number of mail-in ballots and state law allowing for their tabulation as long as they are postmarked by election day, counties are likely to have a significant number of ballots to tally after Election Day. The Secretary of State has thirty business days to work with counties to finalize their results, so the official results will not be posted until October 22nd. While it is likely that the outcome of the election will be known prior to that date, it is possible that it will take a day or two after the election for a winner to be declared. Pandemic Impact on Local Revenues In August, the California State Auditor (Auditor) has released an updated analysis of the revenue impact of COVID on California’s local governments. While this information just focuses on cities, we are expecting additional analysis from the LAO in the coming months for more public agencies. Last fall, the Auditor began working to estimate the impact that the response to the COVID-19 pandemic would have on the revenues of cities throughout California. The Auditor found that almost all cities were projected to lose some revenue, but found that COVID-19 restrictions significantly affected cities that rely on tourism and entertainment. The Auditor just updated its initial assessment to determine the financial situation of California cities in light of stimulus payments from the federal American Rescue Plan Act, property taxes, and increased tax revenues as the economy has started reopening. The Auditor analysis has found the following: • Out of the over 450 cities in California, only Yountville is projected to receive insufficient stimulus funds, property tax revenue, and other tax revenue increases to cover its COVID- 19 related revenue loss. 20 5 • Property tax revenues also increased across the State. Economic forecasts indicate that California cities will receive over $2.3 billion in additional property taxes between fiscal years 2019-20 and 2021-22. • By the end of fiscal year 2021-22, the Auditor projects that five cities will have received revenue increases equal to at least one year of pre-pandemic revenues (San Joaquin, Maricopa, Parlier, Mendota, and Orange Cove). • The Auditor projects that 18 cities did not receive enough stimulus funds alone (without considering property tax and other tax revenues) to cover their COVID-19 related revenue losses, including: Avalon, Beverly Hills, Brisbane, Burlingame, Calistoga, Carmel-By-The- Sea, El Segundo, Emeryville, Indian Wells, Laguna Beach, Mammoth Lakes, Menlo Park, Monterey, San Francisco, Santa Monica, Solvang, West Hollywood, and Yountville. While the Legislature and Administration are not compelled to take any action, as it relates to the State Auditor’s report, it is likely that the report may be referenced in future discussion related to local government funding needs. 21 Bills that Council or the LRC have taken a formal position on or are watching can be found at www.cupertino.org/LRC Legislative Review Committee (LRC) Watch List Watch List - AB 16 (Chiu) - Two-year bill, inactive for the remainder of the year - AB 59 (Gabriel) Two-year bill, inactive for the remainder of the year - SB 5 (Atkins) – Has not moved since introduction, inactive for the remainder of the year - SB 37 (Cortese) – Ordered to inactive file, inactive for the remainder of the year - SB 364 (Skinner) - Two-year bill, inactive for the remainder of the year Previously Considered Bills - AB 14 (Aguiar-Curry) – Considered on 3/12/21, watch position adopted - AB 71 (Rivas) – Considered on 3/12/21, watch position adopted - AB 377 (Rivas) – Considered on 3/12/21, watch position adopted - AB 988 (Bauer-Kahan) – Considered on 5/14/21, support position adopted - AB 989 (Gabriel) – Considered on 6/18/21, oppose positions adopted - AB 1091 (Berman) – Considered on 3/12/21, oppose position adopted - AB 1401 (Friedman) – Considered on 6/18/21, oppose position adopted - SB 4 (Gonzalez) – Considered on 3/12/21, watch position adopted - SB 6 (Caballero) – Considered on 2/26/21, oppose position adopted - SB 7 (Atkins) – Considered on 2/26/21, oppose unless amended position adopted - SB 8 (Skinner) – Considered on 5/14/21, oppose position adopted - SB 9 (Atkins) – Considered on 2/26/21, oppose position adopted - SB 10 (Wiener) – Considered on 2/26/21, oppose position adopted - SB 15 (Portantino) – Considered on 2/26/21, watch position adopted - SB 60 (Glazer) – Considered on 6/18/21, support position adopted - SB 278 (Leyva) – Considered on 3/12/21, oppose position adopted - SB 290 (Skinner) – Considered on 6/18/21, oppose position adopted - SB 314 (Wiener) - Considered on 3/12/21, watch position adopted - SB 323 (Caballero) - Considered on 6/18/21, watch position adopted - SB 477 (Wiener) – Considered on 6/18/21, oppose position adopted - SB 478 (Wiener) – Considered on 5/14/21, oppose position adopted - SB 556 (Dodd) – Considered on 5/14/21, oppose position adopted - SB 612 (Portantino) - Considered by Council on 6/1/21, support position adopted - SB 617 (Wiener) – Considered on 5/14/21, support position adopted - SB 619 (Laird) – Considered on 5/14/21, support position adopted - SB 778 (Becker) – Considered on 5/14/21, oppose position adopted - SB 780 (Cortese) – Considered by Council on 6/1/21, support position adopted - SB 792 (Glazer) – Considered by Council on 6/1/21, oppose position adopted - ACA 1 (Aguiar-Curry) – Considered on 3/12/21, watch position adopted - ACA 4 (Kiley) – Considered on 3/12/21, watch position adopted - ACA 7 (Muratsuchi) – Considered on 5/14/21, support position adopted 22 City of Cupertino    AB 14 (Aguiar-Curry D)   Communications: California Advanced Services Fund: deaf and disabled telecommunications program: surcharges.  Current Text: Enrolled: 9/13/2021   html   pdf  Introduced: 12/7/2020  Last Amend: 9/2/2021  Status: 9/9/2021-Read third time. Urgency clause adopted. Passed. Ordered to the Assembly. (Ayes 28. Noes 8.). In Assembly. Concurrence in Senate amendments pending. Assembly Rule 63 suspended.
