foundation to raise funds for the Dublin Senior Center. He stated the budget impact to

program. He encouraged the Council to consider this goal.
Paul Moffatt, 11742 Solano Drive, Dublin, requested the Council consider a new goal of
bringing control of water and sewer under the City of Dublin. He was concerned about
Dublin San Ramon Services District expanding s~rvices in Contra Costa County. He felt
San Ramon and Dublin had different needs and desires. At the present, the Board of
Directors consisted of representatives from Dublin and San Ramon. But what if the
Board became all San Ramon representatives. He stated that DSRSD charges 40%-50%
higher than neighboring cities for the same services. He felt there was duplication of
valley accomplishments regarding water and sewer. He urged the City to take over

DSRSD and join with Pleasanton and Livermore to provide water and sewer services for
our valley.
Ryan Shearer, 11811 Norfolk Place, Dublin, stated he attended Valley Christian School
and would like to have a skate park built in Dublin. A skate park would allow skaters to
stay out of the way of store owners and it would give the young people in Dublin
something to do.

Mayor Houston indicated he had added a skate park under the Capital Projects.

very flat there, but he felt it would provide excellent recreational opportunities. He
wanted the City to purchase the land at the top of the ridge before it was incorporated
into the City when the value would soar. He gave the Council a handout regarding
"Progress on Ridgelands Parks". He agreed with Mr. Moffatt about DSRSD and urged
the Council to take over providing water and sewer services to the City.
Carol Ruppenthal asked the Council to look at opportunities for the City to provide water
and sewer services. She wanted the City to be able to attract restaurants and new
businesses.
The City Manager in conjunction with the City's Operating Departments prepared a

with the total of 111 objectives to accomplish these goals was identified for the
upcoming year. Staff included 52 new objectives for 1997. The remaining objectives

district.

houses were in Dublin, the children should go to school in Zivermore. That would be a
G to I0 mile commute for the children. The editorial obviously forgot about the children
and this would include 3,000 to 4,000 children.

1997-98 BUDGET STUDY SESSION
8:36 p.m. 8.2 (330-20)
City Manager Ambrose indicated that the City's Annual Budget Study Session provided
the City Council with an opportunity to identify those programs, services, and projects
the Council would like Staff to analyze as part of the development of the City's Annual
Operating Budget and Five Year Capital Improvement Program for the upcoming year.
The Budget Study Session also serves as a means of providing the Council with early
information regarding those items that may have a significant impact (positive or
negative) on the City's expenditures and revenues in 1997-98.
Mr. Ambrose indicated there were several major items which could affect General Fund
Revenues and Expenditures beginning in Fiscal Year 1997-98 and they were primarily
negative.
Sales Tax Revenues which represented nearly 40% of the City's General Budgeted
Revenue in FY 1996~97 will see a lag between when the business begins making sales
and when the City receives the revenue from Eastern Dublin. Furthermore, the existing
sales tax base is also heavily weighted towards automobile sales which could deteriorate
based upon changes in the general economy. There could also be a decline due to
relocation of businesses.
Regarding Property Tax Revenue, in Fiscal Year 1996-97, the City experienced an
increase of approximately 4.6% in the total assessed value. Approximately 3% of the
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
VOLUME 16
ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING
February 25, 1997
PAGE 98
total was directly attributable to the Eastern Dublin annexation which means that the
base in existing City only increased approximately 1.6%. The State changed the lien date
as January 1 st instead of March 1 st which means construction occurring between
January and March, as well as property transfers will not be included on the regular tax
roll until FY 1998-99. The City estimates $110,000 additional Revenue in FY 97-98
with potential for further growth in future years due to property transactions on the
Santa Rita Property.
The impact of implementing Proposition 218 will not be fully known until the June 3,
1997 election on the proposed local EMS Special Tax. If the proposed tax is approved,
the. City will have an increase in EMS revenue of $45,280. Revenue from NPDES Fees
will be reduced by approximately $86,000. It is anticipated that there will be reduced
revenues of between $40,720 to $113,330.
Continued State COPS Funding for FY 97-98 will not be known until after the adopted
state Budget. The City received approximately $61,000 in COPS funds in FY 96-97.
Hence, funds for the bicycle cop may only be available until July 1997.
In regard to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Implementation Fee, the exact structure of
the fee has not been determined. The amount to be potentially collected in FY 97-98 will
depend upon the number and size of development applications received. It is estimated
that the fee may generate $50,000 to $100,000.
OPERATING EXPENDITURES
Mr. Rankin reviewed several operating expenditures. Liability Insurance Coverage
increased $7,000; Animal Shelter will be $26,000 more than estimated expense for FY
96-97; Full Year Police Staffing costs for eastern Dublin beat will be $150,000. Police
Dispatch costs have been scheduled to increase by 20% per year between FY 94-95 and
FY 98-99 which means $64,000 for FY 97-98 to $140,000 in FY 98-99. Full Year
funding of Police Officer by COPS Grant will be an additional $24,200 in expenses.
There will be an increased cost for contract Fire Services of $436,000 due to the
dissolution of DRFA. Preliminary calculations by Alameda County Fire have projected a
minimum of $100,000 per year to replace fire apparatus.
In the adopted 1996-2001 Five Year Capital Improvement Program there is $90,000 in
Community Improvements, $2,237,418 in Parks, and $23,352,793 in Streets that has
been identified as unfunded. Two projects which are underway involve eminent domain
actions (PG&E Street Light Acquisition & Dublin Boulevard Widening ProjecO.
Depending on the final outcome of these legal actions, additional funds may be required.
Dougherty Hills Park Slope Repair Project Phase 2 costing $300,000 was added to the
CIP.

CTV Representative have indicated that they will be forwarding a plan requesting capital
funds to complete equipment replacement beginning in FY 1997-98. Preliminary
estimates would cost each City approximately $20,000.
Council gave Staff the following direction regarding Operating Expenditures, Capital
Expenditures, and Contract Services.
A. Should the 1996-97 level of service adopted by the City Council as part of the
1996~97 Adopted Budget for each program be used as the base level of service in
developing the Fiscal Year 1997-98 Budget?
B. To the extent that high priority objectives require additional resources not
available in the current budget, should the cost of funding those high priority objectives
be identified as an additional budget increment?
Yes- by a consensus.
C. If there is an additional service/program which was not identified in the 1997
Goals & Objectives Study Session, which you would like evaluated during the
development of the 1997-98 Budget, please identify.
No additional services/programs identified
D. During Fiscal Year 1996-97, the City Council funded a number of community
groups. For each community group identified, please identify whether the community
groups level of funding should be the same level as Fiscal Year 1996~97 and included in
the base level or in an additional level of service.
The Council determined that Communi& Television was the only communi& group
from last year that would be included in the base level. Ail other communi& groups
would have to make a new request for funding for the Fiscal Year 1997-98.
E. If the City does not have sufficient income in 1997-98 to fund the current service
level operating expenditures plus those additional expenditures identified in Exhibit B,
alternatives were asked to be prioritized to balance the 1997-98 Budget:
Mr. Ambrose indicated that there were three capital projects which were very expensive.
There was no funding except through the General Fund The CiU would be facing a
shortfall for Fiscal Year 1997-98.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
VOLUME 16
ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING
February 25, 1997
PAGE 100
AtTer some discussion, the Council determined that reducing services would be the last
resort. Fund the shortfall from unallocated reserves would only be used for capital
projects if necessary, but unallocated reserves would not be used for operating expenses.
Staff was instructed to defer capital projects/equipment which required General Fund
support and to withhold contributions to Equipment Replacement Fund for one year.
Mayor Houston indicated later on an update which matched income with expenses
could be presented to the Council He felt it was a matter of timing when the Ci& would
receive some of its revenue. The Ci&just needed roger through the bump. It was a
question of cash Now management.
A/Ir. Ambrose indicated Dublin was in better shape than some other cities, but we need to
be careful and not let the reserves go away.
C. If funding is necessary for operating expenditures in 1997-98, which of the
following alternatives do you prefer for funding Capital Projects in 1997-98?
The Council chose defer I99 7-98 by a consensus.
CONTRACT SERVICES
Cm. Lockhart asked if there was any way of sharing expenses with the School District
for the Crossing Guards services?
Mayor Houston indicated that the Ci& had already fought that battle.
Mr. Ambrose explained that the City had been maintaining the high school football field
and the School District took care of the Crossing Guard services. It was agreed upon
between the Ci& and the School District to change the responsibilities so that now the
Ci& has the responsibili& of the Crossing Guards and the School District maintain the
high school football field
Cm. Burton felt the Animal Con trOl Shelter was an extravagant project.
Mr. Ambrose indicated that the Animal Shelter and the Animal Control Field Services
were two different items. The contract services refers to just the Field Services and not
the Animal Shelter.
Mr. Ranlu'n explained that the Ci& had a multi-year agreement for the Animal Shelter
costs.
Mr. Ambrose stated the Ci& was charged a percent of the services used by Dublin
residents.
