SU B.ECT: Renaming of the Regional Meeting Room to the Bray Community Room
Prepared by: Jordan Foss, Management Analyst II
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider a request to rename the Regional Meeting Room at the Dublin Civic
Center to the Bray Community Room.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the renaming of the Regional Meeting Room at the Dublin Civic Center to the Bray
Community Room.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There are minimal costs associated with changing the lettering and installing a name sign. Funding
is available in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Budget to cover the costs.
DESCRIPTION:
In October 1989, the Dublin Civic Center was officially opened to the public and City staff. As part
of the facility, a 1,250-square-foot community room, known as the Regional Meeting Room, was
created as a place to hold meetings, workshops, and classes, and as an overflow to the City Council
Chambers. Currently, the room is outfitted with up-to-date audio/visual equipment, a small
kitchenette and refrigerator, a storage room, and large windows that overlook the Civic Center
grounds. The room has been available for community rental since the facility's opening.
In May 1987, the City of Dublin joined the Dublin Sister City Association (DSCA) as a non-profit
member, and in July 1987, the City and the DSCA hosted the first Dublin/Bray Sister City
Association visit to Dublin, California. From this first visit, an affiliation was born which has
resulted in multiple visits by each party to the other's region, and many positive discussions that
have reinforced the commitment of each region to maintaining positive relations.
