ew Palo Alto residents have the time and appetite to come to City F Hall for discussions about the future, unless that future includes new buildings going up on their blocks, traf- fic lanes being reduced on their streets or parking spaces disappearing from their neighborhoods. With that in mind, City Hall will kindly come to them. Starting this week and continuing throughout this year and much of the next, city officials are preparing to host a wave of community hearings, social events, online forums, expert panels and coffee meet-ups as part of an ambitious effort to get residents buzzing about the Comprehensive Plan. The city is now in the midst of updating the plan, which is often referred to as the city’s “land-use bible,” and will outline the city’s official vision on everything from land-use and transportation to housing and community services. On Monday, the City Council discussed and tacitly approved staff’s broad plan to engage the populace, a strategy that seeks to inject some vitality into a process that has been quietly simmer- ing behind the scenes for the past eight years. Since the council decided in 2006 to update the Comprehensive Plan, the revision process has been outpaced by the facts on the ground. With the economy now booming, the council’s former focus on sustaining commercial development in town has been upended by angst about protecting local neighborhoods from too much growth. Recent trends and events (including proposals for dense new development, downtown’s worsening parking shortage and the public’s rejection of a housing development on Maybell Avenue in a vote last November) have added urgency to the effort and prompted the council to hit the reset button on the entire process. Now, the city is on a new path to complete the update by the end of 2015. To that effect, the council Monday night discussed an engagement plan that includes (among many other efforts) in-person and virtual meetings, coffee sit-downs with city planners and street stalls in neighborhoods throughout the city. A new citizens-advisory panel will also be formed to aid the city in getting feedback from groups that have been traditionally underrepresented at City Hall, including ethnic minorities, renters and residents between 20 and 40

N — Chris Kenrick Palo Alto looks to beef up work force Riding the wave of a booming economy, Palo Alto City Manager James Keene on Tuesday unveiled a proposed budget for the coming year that adds 17 new positions to the city’s work force, including additional staffing in the Library, Planning and Community Services departments. The proposed Fiscal Year 2015 budget, which the City Council received and briefly discussed Tuesday, further distances Palo Alto from the lean years of 2008 and 2009, when the city was freezing positions :PVBSFDPSEJBMMZJOWJUFEUPBO and trimming employee benefits. By contrast, Keene’s budget for 2015 includes both new positions and raises for existing employees. FYDMVTJWFMVODIFPOBOEUPVSy Overall, expenditures in the city’s General Fund (which pays for most basic city services, not including utilities) would be 7.3 percent higher in 2015 than in 2014, or $11.7 million more than the current fiscal year. While the current budget includes expenditures totaling $159.7 million, Keene’s new proposal would raise it to $171.4 million. In his presentation, Keene attributed the increases to the robust economy, which is bringing in more revenues — the city expects tax revenues to jump by $9.2 million between the current year and fiscal year 2015, which begins on July 1. The revenues are projected to grow from $83.8 million to $93 million. Keene’s Tuesday presentation kicked off a budget-adoption process that includes a series of council Finance Committee reviews and will culminate in an official adoption of the budget by the council in June. N — Gennady Sheyner Palo Alto substitute teachers to get pay raise Following the testimony of four substitute teachers who said their pay is too low, Palo Alto Superintendent Kevin Skelly Tuesday said he plans to formally propose a pay raise for substitute teachers later this month. The substitutes spoke in the open forum section of Tuesday’s Board of Education meeting, telling members that pay of $135 a day for unsteady and unpredictable work was not sufficient. Get a taste of the exceptional resort lifestyle Mary Baker, who said she was credentialed to teach elementary school, middle school, German and Spanish, said last year she had our residents are raving about! to cancel three of the credentials “because it was too expensive and I only needed one to substitute, so I saved some money.” +PJOVTGPSBUPVSPG/PSUIFSO$BMJGPSOJBTQSFNJFSSFUJSFNFOUDPNNVOJUZBOE Longtime substitute Sonia Kantor, who holds a teaching credential FOKPZBTVNQUVPVTMVODIQSFQBSFECZPVSOPUBCMFDIFG "EBN)SFCJOJBL in biology, said subs get little training in the classroom technology they’re expected to use. 7JFXNPEFMTUIBUBSFQSFTFOUMZBWBJMBCMFBOENFFUTPNFPGUIF “This week I had to show a program on the Smart Board,” Kantor XPOEFSGVMSFTJEFOUTXIPFOKPZBGVMMMJGFBU7BSFOOBFWFSZEBZ said. “The teacher had set it up on her computer, but she didn’t plug it in so it ran out of steam in the middle of the day.
