Our City. Our Future.
What’sUp,Doc?page 3
Officer Smith and K9 Doc
Accelerating our work toward the City’s climate action goals is one of the City Council’s strategic priorities. In 2019, the Council adopted a Climate
Action Playbook after a great deal of community input. The Playbook is our comprehensive plan to achieve the ambitious emissions target of carbon neutrality by 2050. To reach our goals, the Playbook contains six strategies, one of which is empowering our community. This includes having an easy way for you to keep track of our progress. To do just that, we launched an interactive Playbook and Scoreboard at Sunnyvaleclimateaction.org this past year. This website tells the story of climate action in Sunnyvale. And you can see how we’re doing on key actions such as solar adoption. This month, we announced our first update to the Scoreboard and we have exciting news. Our community’s 2020 greenhouse gas emissions are 44% below 1990 levels. That is an astonishing 18% improvement from where we were in 2019. Without a doubt this is great progress, but there’s a catch. The COVID-19 pandemic played a big role in our emissions reductions. The largest reductions were from transportation and reflect the dramatic decrease in driving as we sheltered in place. We also consumed less electricity and natural gas due to the economic slowdown.
So, this is good, but potentially short-lived, progress. On one hand, we’re likely to see less improvement as the economy continues to recover and we return to pre-pandemic patterns. On the other hand, this shows us the tremendous positive change that is possible when we take these collective actions. That fact alone is cause for real celebration—and confidence in the bold actions outlined in our Playbook. For example, the City Council adopted new local energy codes this year that go beyond state requirements and promote a shift to all-electric construction for new buildings. We’re planning for new bike lanes to grow that network and encourage biking versus driving. We’re also expanding our food scraps recycling program to apartment buildings citywide. And we continue to promote electric vehicles by hosting educational workshops, installing charging infrastructure and purchasing them for the City’s fleet. More is underway or coming soon. In fact, we’re now gearing up to pick the next set of actions to tackle from the Playbook in January. I hope you’ll join the discussions and take your own actions to ensure Sunnyvale continues to lead the way in sustainability.

Service & Program Spotlights
Of the many features on the City’s website, Access Sunnyvale is one of the most popular. From a menu of 12 icons, you can quickly and easily report non-emergency issues and submit requests online, 24/7.
You can find Access Sunnyvale in the top menu bar on the upper left of any page on the website at Sunnyvale.ca.gov.
Access Sunnyvale’s mobile-friendly platform makes it easy to pinpoint requests or concerns from exactly where they are on a map. Plus, you can track specific service requests or filter and view requests by location, date, type or status. Designated City staff will reply to your inquiries.

Severe weather is a reality—whether it’s our current drought or increased rainfall in El Niño years. While we don’t know what this winter will bring, it is important to know how to prepare for a flood and what to do if you see or experience one. Flooding is typically caused by a creek topping its banks or by clogged catch basins or storm drains. To protect our storm drains and prevent flooding, do not dump anything into the storm drains. If you observe flooding in any part of the city, call the Utilities Customer Service Center at 408-730-7400. Sunnyvale has 1,800 acres in the city that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has designated as Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA); the SFHAs are generally located in the northeast portion of the city. To find out whether your property is in a SFHA or for flood protection assistance information, visit Sunnyvale.ca.gov
and search “Flood Zones” or call 408-730-7415. Flood zone maps and flood protection reference materials are also available at the Sunnyvale Public Library.
Flood InsuranceYour property insurance does not cover losses from flooding. Federal law requires flood insurance if you have a federally regulated mortgage and your building is in an SFHA area as designated by FEMA. Everyone in Sunnyvale is eligible for discounted flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), including renters. If you have a manufactured home or trailer, please review the FEMA Fact Sheet for eligibility located on the City’s website. You can call your insurance agent for information about flood insurance, or call NFIP customer service at 800-638-6620 or visit floodsmart.gov.

K9 handlers drive patrol cars specifically designated for their dogs. Smith says, “The car is their working environment and dogs are pretty territorial. It's their cubicle.” The patrol cars also have specific safety features, such as heat detection, alarms and automatic door openers to let the dog out of the car from a distance.
A Day in the K9 Life
Getting driven around in a specially outfitted car and meeting an adoring public isn‘t the life of a movie star, it‘s the life of a hard-working K9.
• Doc and Smith work four days on and four days off, 11 hours a day.
• K9s serve an average of five to seven years before retiring.
• Doc must reach a certain level of training before he can perform his duties and must keep up his training throughout his career.
• K9s have specialized equipment that includes bullet-proof vests, harnesses and leads.
• At the end of the day, K9s go home with their handlers. Smith says Doc quickly and easily became part of their family.
Good boy, Doc!
The right tool for the job is a necessity in any profession. When your profession
includes interacting with the public and keeping them safe, a tool in the form of a 2-year-old Labrador Retriever named Doc can be just the thing to get the job done.
New SpecialtiesDoc joined Sunnyvale’s Department of Public Safety (DPS) in June as a specialty K9. He is partnered with Officer Robin Smith, a 20-year veteran of DPS and an award-winning K9 handler. As a specialty K9, Doc’s main duties will include finding missing people, sniffing out potential arson chemicals at fire investigations, and being an ambassador for DPS. “Being able to find a lost and scared
child or an at-risk adult will be a huge help to Sunnyvale and other law enforcement agencies,” says Smith. “We can often expedite a solution which is especially important when it’s freezing outside or if someone is sick.” Doc's ambassador responsibilities include going to schools and community functions, meeting the public and providing an avenue for understanding. His wiggly, friendly and energetic personality makes him perfect for the job.
TrainingSmith works with Doc every day to ensure he is responsive, obedient and ready for new challenges. Tracking and trailing training is how Doc learns to find people or missing items. “When you’re tracking and trailing with an apprehension dog,” says
Smith, “you’re searching for a scent profile like fear. Dogs learn to distinguish that.” ”A missing elderly person with dementia may not know they’re lost so their scent profile won’t be as distinctive. That makes it more difficult, and I was interested in that challenge.” When training Doc, Smith will make footprints in thick, long grass and put a piece of hot dog in each footprint. “He bounces back and forth guided by the smell,” Smith says. “Then he figures out, ‘every time I put my nose here, I get a hot dog.‘ He gets paid.” Doc’s payments include toys, treats and playtime. ”The end goal,” says Smith, ”is no hot dogs.”
Sunnyvale Horizon 3
A new direction for DPS
Doc‘s job is different from the other dogs in the unit who are ”apprehension” dogs. That is, they help officers track down suspects and keep them in place until an officer can make an arrest. They also are used to detect certain scents, such as narcotics or explosives. The other three dogs in the K9 Unit are Axel, age 3, whose handler is Officer Marie Plonka; Thang, age 2 ½, whose handler is Officer Alex T. Nguyen; and Rick, age 4 ½, whose handler is Officer Jesse Ashe.
Each dog is an integral part of the department, but Doc‘s new position as an ambassador reflects the progressive nature of the department, says Captain Daniel Pistor who oversees the K9 Unit. ”We‘re very much connected with the community, and what better way to continue that connection,” he says.
“Doc is a great tool to break down any
barriers between us and the public.”

Planning for a Dynamic Urban AreaHow do we ensure Sunnyvale’s Downtown thrives and provides a sense of place and identity for our city? One of our key tools is a long-term planning document called the Downtown Specific Plan. It establishes development standards for the roughly 150 acres bound by the Caltrain railroad tracks, Carroll Street and Bayview Avenue, Olive Avenue and El Camino Real, and Charles Street. Originally adopted in 1993, the City has updated this plan several times to reflect the needs of the community. We updated the plan most recently in 2020 after extensive community input. This update strengthened design guidelines and standards, revised outdated information, and is expected to span the next 10 to 15 years. The Downtown Specific Plan's vision is for an enhanced, traditional downtown serving the community with a variety of destinations in a pedestrian-friendly environment. To achieve a dynamic urban area that provides more housing and jobs, the plan has goals that address:
• Economic, employment, housing and transportation opportunities
• Cultural, retail and entertainment amenities
• Walkability and access to public spaces such as parks, open space, plazas and other community areas
• Distinctive and cohesive building design
• Community character and distinctive neighborhood features
If you’ve seen the construction underway or been to any of the new shops or amenities already open, you’re seeing the Downtown Specific Plan in action.
Downtown Events & ActivitiesWith events happening year round, there‘s always something to look forward to in downtown Sunnyvale. Here are a few long-standing and new traditions.

Planning for a Dynamic Urban AreaHow do we ensure Sunnyvale’s Downtown thrives and provides a sense of place and identity for our city? One of our key tools is a long-term planning document called the Downtown Specific Plan. It establishes development standards for the roughly 150 acres bound by the Caltrain railroad tracks, Carroll Street and Bayview Avenue, Olive Avenue and El Camino Real, and Charles Street. Originally adopted in 1993, the City has updated this plan several times to reflect the needs of the community. We updated the plan most recently in 2020 after extensive community input. This update strengthened design guidelines and standards, revised outdated information, and is expected to span the next 10 to 15 years. The Downtown Specific Plan's vision is for an enhanced, traditional downtown serving the community with a variety of destinations in a pedestrian-friendly environment. To achieve a dynamic urban area that provides more housing and jobs, the plan has goals that address:
• Economic, employment, housing and transportation opportunities
• Cultural, retail and entertainment amenities
• Walkability and access to public spaces such as parks, open space, plazas and other community areas
• Distinctive and cohesive building design
• Community character and distinctive neighborhood features
If you’ve seen the construction underway or been to any of the new shops or amenities already open, you’re seeing the Downtown Specific Plan in action.
Downtown Events & ActivitiesWith events happening year round, there‘s always something to look forward to in downtown Sunnyvale. Here are a few long-standing and new traditions.

Here at the City, we get many questions about trash and recycling. To help answer them, meet our Zero Waste expert, Bailey Hall, who will have a regular column in Horizon. Let’s start with plastics, which are some of the most challenging items to understand when it comes to recycling.
This plastic has the recycle symbol on it. Can I recycle it?
Many people think the symbol of arrows around a number means that an item is recyclable. We wish it were that easy! Those numbers are codes that tell us the type of resins used to make the plastic. But the codes don‘t tell us how the plastic was made, which determines its recyclability. For example, water bottles and clamshells (like clear plastic strawberry containers) are both made of PET. But clamshells are made with a different process which makes them rigid, brittle and unable to melt down at the same temperature as water bottles. Since the main process of recycling plastic is first melting it, this creates an issue for recyclers. As a result, most plastic is not recyclable in recycling markets and ends up in a landfill. That‘s why recycling is great but finding ways to reduce your plastic use is even better.
So which plastics are recyclable?
In Sunnyvale, we recycle plastic bottles and tubs. Examples include:
• Ketchup bottles• Laundry detergent bottles• Milk jugs• Shampoo and conditioner bottles• Tubs for butter, yogurt, sour cream• Water and soda bottles
Why these plastics? Our goal is to make sure everything you put in your recycling cart gets recycled. We focus on those recyclables we know have a market and can be recycled. We want to keep as much as we can out of the landfill.
Which plastics aren’t recyclable?
In our program, we have a list of items called the Dirty Dozen that many people think are recyclable, but in fact are not. You might be surprised by the plastics on this list that should not go in your recycling cart:
• Plastic bags and wrap• Clamshell containers, like those
for strawberries• Black plastic, like those used for
takeout containers• Any other kind of takeout container
Visit Sunnyvale.ca.gov and search “Dirty Dozen” to learn more about the Nice Nine and the Dirty Dozen—our lists of items you can and can’t recycle in Sunnyvale. Or download the Sunnyvale Recycles Right app to learn how to get rid of just about anything.

With our temperate climate, diverse neighborhoods, and local amenities, Sunnyvale is a great place to call home. But our community is not without its challenges. Many of our neighbors have trouble making ends meet, and pandemic-related losses have increased the difficulties. Fortunately, nonprofit agency Sunnyvale Community Services (SCS) is a safety net in our own backyard. Founded more than 50 years ago, SCS provides emergency financial aid, rental assistance, groceries, case management and other resources to help Sunnyvale residents. “It’s important for our neighbors to know we are here and that they should call us at the earliest point in their financial struggle,” said SCS Executive Director, Marie Bernard. “We want to do all we can to help our neighbors stay safely
housed, with food on their tables.” SCS case managers connect clients with services and resources to stabilize their situations. Emergency financial aid helps prevent eviction and utility cut-off. Groceries, back-to-school supplies and holiday center gift cards maximize a client’s own resources. SCS served 10,318 individuals last year and has seen a 50% increase in clients served over the past five years. To meet this growing need, the agency is moving to a larger facility at 1160 Kern
Ave. The new facility will help SCS serve clients compassionately, confidentially and efficiently.
If you or a neighbor needs food, financial assistance, or other help, call SCS at 408-738-4321 or go online at svcommunityservices.org.

Sunnyvale Public Library has reopened and expanded its hours to include mornings, evenings and Sundays. “We’re so happy to be fully open again,” said Cherise Brandell, Director of Library and Recreation Services. “Library staff love working with the public and we’ve missed you!” In addition to in-person services, we will continue virtual programs throughout the fall. Enjoy storytimes and get connected with experts in topics ranging from gardening to pain relief. We’ll also be launching a new collection of items you can borrow, such as auto repair kits, gardening supplies, cake pans, and more.

You can help redraw Sunnyvale’s six council districts for elections in
November 2022 through 2031. This process—called redistricting—occurs every 10 years after each census. It balances population counts within each district to ensure fair and equal representation.
DRAW AND SUBMIT YOUR MAP
The City is working with our demographer to analyze local 2020 Census data recently released by the state. At the Redistricting Commission meeting on Nov. 11, we will review demographic data to see how it impacts current districts. Then, we will ask residents and community groups to use this updated census data to submit map proposals. Map submissions are due Jan. 3, 2022. Use one of these three tools to draw and submit your proposed map. DistrictR mapping tool. DistrictR lets you easily draw neighborhoods, communities of interest or districts.
It allows you to “paint” by census block. It also provides population and demographic data. Paper map kit. You can download and print a paper map. Or request to pick one up from City Hall. This simple map includes population unit data. Paper map kit with spreadsheet. You can download and print
this paper map and use the accompanying Excel spreadsheet to calculate population counts.
Find training videos on our webpage to help you design maps that meet state and federal law. You can even get technical support with your map from our demographer.

Patrick Fasang receives information from staff at the NOVAworks Job Center in Sunnyvale.
We’re Back and We Missed You
Although in operation since 1981, the NOVAworks Job Center in Sunnyvale remains an undiscovered gem in the heart of Silicon Valley. The federally funded program assists job seekers in entering or returning to the workforce. Career advisors provide customized assistance throughout the job-search process.
After being laid off in 2020, Patrick Fasang met with career advisor Kim Pham. “I listened to his concerns, then worked with him to identify career objectives,” Pham said. Despite having both a graduate degree and considerable electrical engineering experience, Fasang needed help navigating a highly competitive job market and countering the challenges of being an older worker in the tech industry. Pham encouraged Fasang to participate in NOVAworks’ career navigation workshops, as well as those targeting mature workers. Fasang also attended NOVAworks networking events and employer presentations to make essential

It’s Time to Redraw District MapsMAP EVALUATION AND SELECTION
You will have many opportunities to weigh in on proposed maps. Prior to the City Council adopting a final map in spring 2022, we will:
• Collect your input on draft maps through a workshop and online survey.
• Hold Redistricting Commission meetings to narrow map options and guide map revisions.
• Provide the City Council with three to five maps recommended by the Redistricting Commission.
• Offer an online survey for you to vote for your favorite map.
• Hold five in-person “pop-up” events throughout the city to gather your input.
Visit Sunnyvale.ca.gov/redistricting to find mapping tools, training and schedule of workshops and hearings. You can also contact Redistricting Commissioners or sign up for the Sunnyvale Elections email list to stay informed.
