1986-87 PRELIMINARY BUDGET & FINANCIAL PLAN
City Manager Ambrose stated that at this meeting he would present an overview
of this years' revenues and expenses in order to determine what kind of ~-hape
the City is in with regard to reserves, what this means to the City and where
we are going. Mr. Ambrose indicated that he would highlight any significant
changes to the operating budget, any proposed increased levels of service,
and any items suggested to the City by either letters or other means, which
were not included in the budget. He stated he would then %pproach the
Capital Improvement Program, with emphasis on those projects where discretion
exists for the Council. The Council has already committed to many of the
1986-87 projects.
For 1986-87, th'e City anticipates revenues of approximately $11.9 million.
Expenditures of $14.2 million are being proposed. In order to finance this
budget, an appropriation from reserves of $2.3 million will be required. A
portion of the $2.3 million (approximately $800,000) will be from the
Certificates of Participation financing.
With regard to the City Manager's Budget, it was recommended that the account
be increased by $11,275 to reflect the action taken by the City Council in
May.
An increase of $4,500 was recommended to the Building Management account in
order to procure additional office space at the City's existing location.
Also, due to an evaluation of the Police Services Agreement, Alameda County
Staff indicated that the cost of off-site services would be less than was
anticipated, resulting in a reduction of $15,015 in the Police Services
Account.
Cm. Hegarty questioned if the City would go back to a Lieutenant's position
being Commander of the Dublin Police Services. City Manager Ambrose reported
that Staff is trying to establish a method to have the ability to have either
a Lieutenant or a Captain's leYel as Chief.
The net effect of the changes discussed was an increase in total
appropriations of $760.

Ginnie Cooper, Alameda County Librarian, addressed the Council and discussed
funding for Sunday Library hours. Discussion was also held wmth regard to
what effect a San Ramon Library would have on Dublin's Library.
1986-91 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
Mayor Snyder questioned the timing of the purchase of Data Processing
equipment. City Manager Ambrose explained that the delay was due to a desire
to coincide with the timing of the City occupying its own facilities. To put
a system intO place in current facilities would be very difficult.
George Zika, Peppertree Road questioned the timing of when the pavement and
road work would be completed.
Cm. Moffatt questioned with regard to street numbering signs if there was any
way the signs could be place in a better location. Cm. Moffatt felt the
signs detract from the look of the nice new medians.
Cm. Jeffery questioned the timing of when the new street signs would be used.
Staff explained that they were being required now in new development areas,
and for financing reasons, they will be put in in the 1988-89 Fiscal Year.
