Dear Friends,
Safety has been a challenge in Saratoga. We have had 131 break-ins so far this year,
with $2M+ stolen from Saratoga homes. The crime wave has subsided since late
August, but it behooves each of us to be vigilant and to take some action around our
home and neighborhood. Case in point, on Thursday Nov 3rd, two homes were
broken into off Cox avenue as the homes did not have any lights turned on that were
front facing and became a target. Checkout the safety tips at
http://www.RishiKumar.com/tips. You can the list of break-ins this year
www.tinyurl.com/SaratogaCrimeSpreadsheet
As part of my safety charter for Saratoga, I have been having neighborhood meetings to create some safety best practices,
build awareness of the crime situation and launch Neighborhood Safety Watch programs. With 30+ neighborhood
meetings so far, an effort that began in June, we have initiated 30+ new Saratoga Neighborhood Safety Watch programs.
On October 19th, we had 29 neighborhoods certified with their Neighborhood Safety Watch program by the Sheriff and
went live the same day. Scroll down below and you will find glimpses from these 30+ neighborhood meetings.
When was the last time we had 29 Neighborhood Safety Watch programs ready to go live the same day in the history of
Saratoga? I think the answer is NEVER! There were 32 neighborhoods present with completed packages - and 29 were
there as a result of our efforts and push over the last few months. You can read about it the Saratoga News article
here http://tinyurl.com/MercNSW
HERE IS THE LIST OF NEIGHBORHOODS THAT GOT CERTIFIED: Braemar, Brandywine/Paramount,
Chardonnay, El Quito, Fredericksburg, Glenbrae, Horseshoe, Miljevich, Park Saratoga HOA, Prides Crossing, Prides
Crossing East, Prides Crossing North, Saraglen, Saratoga Avenue, Saratoga Woods, Brooks of Saratoga Thelma West,
Tollgate, Vessing, Via Roncole, Saratoga High / Chalet, Saratoga Elementary / Vickery, Blauer Drive, Larchmont,
Lower Pierce, McFarland and Wardell. There are many neighborhoods on track to get certified and we have scheduled
another meeting in December with the sheriff. To see the complete list visit www.RishiKumar.com/nsw
A Neighborhood Safety Watch grant initiative was on the agenda at the same October city council meeting. I put forth a
motion for a grant initiative for Saratoga Neighborhood Safety Watch programs that was passed 5-0 by the council. We
will now fund such neighborhood safety watch initiatives. Only Neighborhood Safety Captains (or Coordinators) can
apply for the grant on behalf of the neighborhood, and only those neighborhoods that are already certified can get access
to this grant. The grant is a total of $300/neighborhood. This goes live on January 1st
. Additionally, Public Works staff
has started reaching out to the 30 neighborhoods to discuss Neighborhood Watch signage. The information collected at
the meeting will also be used to create a map of Neighborhood Watch groups, which will be available on the City website
I highly recommend that you join the Safe Saratoga Citizen’s forum at:
http://groups.google.com/group/SafeSaratoga
http://facebook.com/groups/safesaratoga
Stay tuned – we can do a lot more to help enhance Saratoga’s safety. For one, we are rolling out a neighborhood led
surveillance camera methodology. You will see an announcement soon on this topic.
Sincerely, Rishi Kumar

www.RishiKumar.com/water
Back on August 17th at the City Council meeting, Councilmember Kumar
had asked our city council to put Water on the agenda for discussion - based
on the Saratoga angst with high water bills. It was placed on the council
agenda of October 19th
. Our city attorney had been researching this complex
topic for weeks and finally reported back at this October 19th
meeting, and we
collectively as a council took specific steps to move forward.
You can watch the meeting here

Click on item 4.1 Below is a summary:
Our Saratoga city attorney presented a deck as a backdrop to the city council
discussion. http://www.slideshare.net/rishi59/saratoga-city-attorney-
presentation-on-sjwc-rates-10191026
Our council came up with the following approach after much discussion,
deliberation:
#1 Build/Leverage a joint Regional effort. We will seek to collaborate with
neighboring cities where SJWC provides water. Reach out from many fronts
to see if we have common cause, where do we have common ground and
where we don't. For the long term, we need a regional approach beyond
Water also with Gas, Electricity etc to ensure the interest of our community
is being met when decisions are made by CPUC. I will bring this up with
commission members on the Santa Clara Valley Water District (from various
santa clara county cities) who are served by San Jose Water Company.
#2Reach out representatives in Sacramento (Assemblymember Low and
Senator Beall) - we will discuss water at an upcoming council meeting with
them.
#3 Reach out to SCVWD via staff, via SCVWD Board member Nai Hsueh (a
Saratoga resident).
#4 City Manager TO DO to evaluate Rate Analyst Consulting services who
can help us with CPUC, do deeper analysis
#5 City Manager TO DO to explore Short term analyst + rate modification
request
#6 SJWC to explain every single line item on the bill. Likely a FAQ
Items 1, 2, 3 were brought up by me at the August 14th meeting as
alternative approaches to the problem.
Item #4 was specifically recommended by me yesterday, as a rate analyst
would take some of the complexity away for us and our citizens.
We haven’t solved anything yet, but we are finally moving forward.

including enclosed and open spaces; in
the common areas of all hotels and
multifamily developments, such as
hallways, courtyards, pool areas and
playgrounds; in most workplaces,

VILLAGE POLICY
UPDATE
On May 24th the City Council
considered the results of a community
outreach initiative intended to gather the
viewpoints of the community about the
Village. The community outreach was the
first step in the process of updating the
Village Specific Plan and Design
Guidelines. In considering the Planning
Commission recommendation, the
Council determined that the Village Plan
had been substantially completed and had
served its useful life, and that future
policy guiding land use, development and
building modification in the Village
should be incorporated into the General
Plan, Village Design Guidelines, and the
Zoning Ordinance. Council approved the
to preparation of a work plan outlining a
process for developing and adopting
policies in response to the community
outreach that would update and bring
current the community’s views and
vision for the Village. There were four
topic areas identified during outreach to
be addressed via this policy update.
· Parking and Circulation
· Village Vision
· Village Design and Character
· Opportunity Sites
SHOOTING
INCIDENT AT A
HOME ON TITUS
AVENUE
Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office
deputies were dispatched to a home on
Titus Avenue in Saratoga to perform a
welfare check. During the welfare
check, deputies attempted to make
contact with the individual for
approximately 50 minutes, but
received no response. Deputies then
walked to the side of the residence and
encountered a male with a raised
firearm. Deputies made repeated
requests for the man to lower his
weapon. Subsequently, one of the
officers onsite fired at the man,
reported to be a Saratoga resident,
who was then transported to a local
hospital, where he died. While there
are limited details available and the
matter is under investigation, this
looks like an isolated incident. Details

A large number of Monterey pines growing
along the Allendale Avenue side of the West
Valley College campus have died. Five years
of a drought has taken a toll on a large
number of trees throughout the city and the
pines have suffered the most. The college
got a permit to remove 43 dead pines. This
area will be replanted with drought tolerant
landscaping and new trees once the dead

THINKING MICROGRID?
I HEAR OF OTHER
CITIES ROLLING OUT
MICROGRIDS FOR
EMERGENCY SHELTERS,
FIRE STATIONS etC.
At a prior city council meeting, I have
proposed a Microgrid concept for Saratoga
for our emergency shelter. Our Community
Center serves as an emergency refuge in the
event of a disaster, like a major storm or
earthquake and a micro grid can be
configured to supply clean power to the
Community Center in the scenario of an
outage. A Microgrid solution is currently
being deployed at 3 Fire Stations in Fremont
for critical facilities such as Community
Centers, Fire and Police stations, and
Medical facilities. The essence of their
solution is intelligent software that
integrates and manages the power from:
Solar PV arrays, Battery Storage Systems,
and the Grid itself. Yes, such innovative
approaches for Saratoga would also help
reduce our monthly expense

WHAT IS CERT? This training
provides training to help with any
emergency like earthquake, fire
escape plan, missing person, lost
child, bio/chemical attack,
emergency evacuations,
neighborhood safety and so much
more. CERT is a great way to be
organized as well as trained by
professionals. You become a huge
asset to your neighborhood once
trained. A special Saratoga CERT
Leadership meeting will be held on
Wednesday November 16 at
Saratoga City Hall from 7:00 to
9:00 p.m. Saratoga CERT
Leadership meetings are open to
everybody in Saratoga CERT.

HOW DO I GET
CERT FOR MY
NEIGHBORHOOD?
The Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office
has partnered with CrimeReports.com.
for reported crimes in your area.
CrimeReports.com hosts a Camera
Registration Program. By registering the
location of your home security cameras,
you might assist the Sheriff’s Office in
supplying information needed to catch
criminals that have burglarized your
neighbors. Having camera footage of
suspects is one of the most valuable tools
law enforcement can use to identify
criminal suspects. Your information is
kept secure and never made public. To
register your security camera, go to
www.CrimeReports.com and click on
the “register my camera” link. Then select
the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office as
your local law enforcement agency.

Suggestion - call the Sheriff's non-

WHAT IS THE STATUS
OF THE EAT IN
SARATOGA PROGRAM
You may recall my interest to have a culture
of “Think Saratoga First”, “Eat in Saratoga”.
As part of that we started a pilot program “
Saratoga Treats for Saratoga Students
program” providing Saratoga High students
options with Saratoga restaurant food on
campus. This was run as a pilot in
September by the Saratoga High . But
unfortunately for a variety of reasons, the
program has been terminated. As part of
this effort, what came about is that
Mountain Mikes Pizza is now an option
available for Saratoga High students.
Our City staff recently completed
the installation of two water filling
stations to increase healthy drinking
options for Saratoga residents at
locations where there is potentially
heavy foot and bicyclist traffic. The
two locations include Congress
Springs Park and Blaney Plaza.
County PICH (Partnership to
Improve Community Health) grant
funds paid for the units and the
installation of the water filling
stations. The water filling stations
have three tiers that allow residents
to drink from the fountains, refill
their water bottles and also give their
pets water from an outlet at the
bottom of the station.
