COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE: September 29, 1999
TO: MAYOR AND TOWN COUNC
FROM: TOWN MANAGE
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUUTHORIZING THE TOWN MANAGER TO EXECUTE A THIRD
AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE TOWN OF LOS GATOS AND
THE LOS GATOS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOR FISCAL YEAR 1999-00
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt resolution (Attachment 1) authorizing the Town Manager to execute a Third Amendment to Agreement for
Community Services by and between the Town of Los Gatos and the Town of Los Gatos Chamber of Commerce for
Fiscal Year 1999-00 (Attachment 2).
BACKGROUND:
On June 21, 1999, Council appropriated funds not to exceed $20,000, to be used during the time period between July
1, 1999, and June 30, 2000, to meet the goals and objectives outlined in the Third Amendment to the Chamber
Agreement, Exhibit B, "Scope of Services," Sections 1-3 (Attachment 2). The Chamber has now submitted a request
(Attachment 3) for $13,700 for an additional scope of service, Section 4 of Exhibit B, to fund the design and
development of an official Los Gatos Website.
Since 1996, the Town has maintained a Town Government Website, which is hosted on a local resident's server. The
address or Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is long and not easy to remember
(http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/los_gatos/residents/towngov.html). Initially, the Town's System Administrator, Cluis
Gjerde, set up the site and maintained it remotely. In 1998, Gloria Grimes, the Library Director, assumed this
responsibility. The Los Gatos Chamber of Commerce presently maintains a site for Chamber information, hosted by
Boardwalk Companies (http://www.losgatosweb.com). Neither of these sites provides information about the community
which a new resident or visitor might need.
In April 1999, members of the Los Gatos Chamber of Commerce and Town staff formed a Los Gatos Website
Committee to investigate the feasibility of an official Los Gatos Website. The Committee felt the information on the
Web should be better organized, more links were needed, the information needed updating, there were numerous
information gaps, and the site was not professional -looking. The Committee developed a project budget and a matrix
of "core content pages" for the new site, which includes a calendar of events, maps, information for visitors and new
residents, information about the community and the Chamber, and a link to the Town Government Site (Attachment
4).
Sheri Lewis, Executive Director of the Chamber, and Gloria Grimes, Town staff representative on the Website
Committee, discussed the new site with the Town Manager. Everyone agreed that an official Los Gatos Website was
needed, and that the Chamber was the appropriate agency to be responsible for its development and maintenance. The

October 4, 1999
Town staff would continue to be responsible for the Town Government Website. A Request for Proposal for redesign
and hosting of the Town Government Website has been issued, and proposals are being evaluated.
DISCUSSION:
The Chamber request for $13,700 to fund the development of a Los Gatos Website includes purchase and maintenance
of equipment and software, installation of a DSL connection to an Internet Service Provider, design and development
of the website, and training of Chamber staff who will maintain the site. The Chamber intends to contract with
Boardwalk Companies for this service, as they have been hosting and maintaining the Chamber site. The www.los-
€atos.org website will be live before the end of November 1999, and the project completed by the end of fiscal year
1999-00.
CONCLUSION:
With the significant increase in use of the Internet, it is essential that the Town improve its Web presence. Staff
recommends Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) authorizing the Town Manager to execute a Third Amendment
to Agreement for Community Services by and between the Town of Los Gatos and the Town of Los Gatos Chamber
of Commerce for Fiscal Year 1999-00 (Attachment 2), which includes development of an official Los Gatos Website.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS:
Is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$20,000 to fund Scope of Services as described in Third Amendment to the Chamber Agreement, Exhibit B, Sections
1-3 was appropriated by Council June 21, 1999, when the 1999-00 Town Operating Budget was approved (Account
8040-72077). $13,700 to fund Scope of Services as described in Section 4 of Exhibit B, Website development, will also
be funded from Fiscal Year 1999-00 Operating Budget (Account 6685-61754, Website Services).

working days of receiving an invoice from the Chamber. Each brochure catagory is an
independent task, and the Chamber can be reimbursed for one, two, or all three brochure
catagories. The Chamber will consult with the Town on each brochure catagory prior to
development, and the Town will have final "check off" approval prior to production. Each

TOWN OF LOS GATOS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
REQUEST FOR A COMMUNITY GRANT FOR THE DESIGN AND
DEVELOPMENT OF A LOS GATOS WEBSITE
1. Summary Statement
The Los Gatos Chamber of Commerce requests from the Town of Los Gatos a Community Grant
of $13,700 for the design and development of an official Los Gatos Website.
2. Background
The Chamber now provides information services through the Information Office by contract to
the Town. The current scope of services (Exhibit B) includes a provision for development of a
Chamber Website. The Chamber's Website (www.losgatosweb.com) was developed and has
been maintained by a volunteer webmaster, Dana Smith, President of The Boardwalk
Companies.
During the last six months, Russ Lothian, Chair of the Chamber's MarCom Committee, Jon
Robertson, MarCom Committee, and Sheri Lewis, Executive Director of the Chamber, have been
working with a consortium of Town staff and other Chamber members to investigate the need
for, feasibility of, and a project budget for an official Los Gatos Website.
As the official Information Source for the Town of Los Gatos, it would be a natural extension of
the Chamber's role to professionally design, develop and maintain an official Los Gatos
Website. This site would link to the existing Town Government and Los Gatos Chamber
Websites. This site would differ from the government and chamber sites, as it would provide
additional information about the community, such as a calendar of events and information for
visitors and new residents. The Web address would be www.los-aatos.org and the Homepage
would provide the following menu selections:
• Calendar of Events
• Town Government (maintained by Town staff)
• New Residents
• Visitors
• Community
• Maps
• Chamber of Commerce.
Town staff would continue to maintain the Government site, which would be a menu choice on
the Home Page. The Chamber would be responsible for the development and maintenance of the
remaining pages. Money from this grant would not be used to create or maintain any special
pages created for individual Chamber members. The Chamber would use the grant for
purchasing needed equipment and software, for training Chamber staff who will maintain the
site, for installation of a line to connect to an Internet Service Provider, and for site design,
development, and implementation. The Chamber has received a proposal submitted by our
1
Attachment 3
current volunteer webmaster, Dana Smith of the Boardwalk Companies to provide most of these
services.
3. Project Budget
Boardwalk Companies bid for procurement and installation of
hardware and software, training materials, and design and
development of the site $9,073
DSL line to Internet Service Provider $500
3 year extended service agreement for hardware $927
Onsite training $1400
• Chamber staff's time to develop and implement
the project $1800
TOTAL: $13,700
4. Project Timeline
•
Design and Development Phase: projected completion date 12/99
Implementation Phase: +projected completion date 6/00
5. Maintenance
It is understood that Chamber staff will provide ongoing maintenance for the Los Gatos Website,
with funding from the Chamber's Town of Los Gatos Information Services annual operating
budget.

Town Council Minutes October 4, 1999
Redevelopment Agency Los Gatos, California
TRASH & RECYCLING RECEPTACLES/STATION WAY/PARKING LOT/CONT.
Town Staff would consider a trash enclosure at either end of the parking lot, but that is not a
present option. The Town's desire is to increase the amount of parking in the lot. Additional
trash enclosures would cause the loss of additional parking spaces. The license agreement has
been prepared by Old Town. At the end of each calendar year, Old Town will provide a
statement to each of the businesses informing them what the expenses have been for the year.
Exhibit "B" in tonight's report is an estimate of those charges. If recycling has been done well
by participants the rates will go down. It will be up to the businesses using the compactor to
monitor the five year amortization as it appears in their annual statement and to make sure that
Old Town is no longer charging for the enclosure at the end of the specified time.
Council Consensus to accept the report regarding the Main/Elm Lot improvements related to
trash and recycling receptacles and request staff to return with report addressing availability of
solid waste management funds available for supporting this type of project such as the AB949
funds.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE/AGREEMENT WITH TOWN/RESOLUTION 1999-151 (09.19)
Mayor Hutchins stated that this was the time and place duly noted to consider adopting
resolution authorizing the Town Manager to execute a Third Amendment to Agreement for
Community Services by and between the Town of Los Gatos and the Town of Los Gatos
Chamber of Commerce for Fiscal Year 1999-00.
Motion by Mr. Attaway, seconded by Mrs. Lubeck, that Council adopt Resolution 1999-151
entitled, RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN OF LOS GATOS AUTHORIZING THE TOWN
MANAGER TO EXECUTE A THIRD AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT FOR COMMUNITY
SERVICES BY AND BETWEEN THE TOWN OF LOS GATOS AND THE TOWN OF LOS
GATOS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOR FISCAL YEAR 1999-2000. Carried unanimously.
DOWNTOWN PARKING IMPROVEMENT PLAN (15.40)
Council considered various downtown parking issues and made several decisions by consensus.
The following people from the audience spoke to this issue:
Dianne McNutt, 25 Jackson Street, representing the Chamber of Commerce, spoke of the efforts
of the Chamber and updated Council on the items that have been worked on. She addressed
the Miles Avenue improvements and staff noted that the trail access would be too expensive to
light and that there already was sufficient lighting on Miles. The steepness of Miles to navigate
at night was discussed. Changing the time limits in the parking lots was discussed and the
Chamber would prefer to have lot 7 remain an all day parking lot. She noted the Park and Ride
lot in the north end; Miles Ave. in the middle; and Lot 7 in the South end of Town for
employee parking. If lot 7 is removed from all day parking there should be alternatives for
employees such as all day permits. She spoke of employee recruitment and the need for
available employee parking in order to retain those employees.
Terri Hope, 212 Bella Vista, owner of Los Gatos Coffee Roasting Company near Lot 7. Miles
Ave. Lot is 1/2 mile from Main Street. Her employees would be walking in the rain, cold and
dark instead of just around the corner. Some of her employees are minors and she is concerned
for their safety. There is a man power crisis in Los Gatos and she has had to cut her hours
fourteen hours a week because she cannot staff her store. She asked questions specifically
regarding the times and dates these new parking hours would be in effect. Why can't the public
park on public streets, specifically University Avenue. Many employees are also residents of
Town. She asked for restricted parking on Sundays.
