TRUCKS (INTERSTATE) EXITING ONTO CITY STREETS The City has received a letter from Cal Trans regarding a request to sign the Dougherty Road/ Hopyard Road exit and the San Ramon Road/Foothill Road exit as allowable exits for the new larger "interstate trucks." Staff has discussed the matter with the Pleasanton Public Works Staff. It is the opinion of the two cities, that traffic safety and maintenance would be impacted. Therefore, Staff recommended against the allowance of these new larger trucks on City streets. Staff presented a draft letter to Cal Trans for Council review. Staff's understanding was that the State will need concurrence from both Pleasanton and Dublin to sign these exits for interstate trucks. Mayor Snyder questioned the fact that since Dublin does have a truck stop on Dougherty Road, could Dublin deny the trucks access. It was felt that the truck stop could not adequately accommodate the turning space required for the new larger trucks. City Engineer Thompson explained that at least 2 of the 3 viable services should be available in order to designate allowing the trucks access. ICC and California PUC regulations were discussed. On motion of Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. Hegarty, and by unanimous vote, the Council directed Staff to send a letter to CalTrans requesting that Dublin's off-ramps not be designated to allow the new interstate trucks to exit into Dublin.

CM-3-123 Regular Meeting June 11, 1984 AWARD OF BID FOR JANITORIAL SERVICES SHANNON COMMUNITY CENTER At its regular meeting of May 14, 1984, the City Council authorized Staff to accept bids for janitorial services for Shannon Community Center. A total of 18 contractors received bid packages. Five bids were received with Barry's Janitorial submitting the low bid of $608.90/month for 5 day service and $852.46/month for 7 day service. Cm. Jeffery questioned whether or not the current provider of janitorial services submitted a bid. Staff responded negative. It was pointed out that the low bid was approximately 1/2 that of current service. On motion of Cm. Vonheeder, seconded by Cm. Jeffery, and by unanimous vote, the Council awarded the bid to Barry's Janitorial and authorized the Mayor to execute the Agreement. DOUGHERTY ROAD STORM DRAIN PROJECT AUTHORIZATION TO BID CONTRACT 84-3 During the 1983-84 review of the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program, the City Council approved a project on Dougherty Road fronting the Arroyo Vista housing complex. This project was to include the installation of sidewalk, curb, gutter and street storm drains on the west side of Dougherty Road. The project was also to be phased over a 2 year period with the curb, gutter and sidewalk being installed during 1983-84 and the storm drains being installed during 1984-85. Since that time, the City Council has authorized the City to obtain additional funding from the Community Development Block Grant Program in order to complete this project. The City Council also awarded a bid to install the curb, gutter and sidewalk during this fiscal year. This project is nearly complete. In order to complete the improvements originally envisioned in the Capital Improvement Program, Staff has prepared plans and specifications for the construction of the storm'drain project phase. On motion of Cm. Hegarty, seconded by Cm. Moffatt, and by Unanimous vote, the Council authorized Staff to advertise for bids for the Dougherty Road storm drain project. 1984-85 STREET MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT Since incorporation, street maintenance and related functions have been performed by the Alameda County Public Works Department. In addition, their efforts have been supplemented by direct contracts in specific areas where the County could not respond in a timely fashion. CM-3-124 Regular Meeting June 11, 1984 MCE has proposed to have a Contract Manager who would complete the following: (1) inspections of the streets and related facilities to identify and record specific work needs, (2) contact residents on the City's behalf to discuss and resolve maintenance problems or respond to related concerns; (3) develop monthly work schedules and reports for review by City Staff; (4) scheduling, supervision and control of work performed by MCE employees and subcontractors, and (5) preparation and coordination of emergency call-out procedures. It is anticipated that by having a consistent individual providing this information to City Staff, an improved service level can be provided to the residents of Dublin. MCE has also made arrangements to either directly or through subcontractors provide services in the areas indicated in Section A: Scope of Work, shown in Attachment 1 of the proposed agreement. Where appropriate, MCE has provided unit costs. In other areas, the work will be provided on a time and materials basis. MCE has indicated that they will be able to provide many of the labor intensive tasks now provided by the County. The use of the Contract Manager will reduce City Staff time utilized to develop specifications and monitor performance in areas where the County has been unable to provide service. Staff recommended a dual approach to the provision of street maintenance services in the 1984-85 fiscal year. MCE would be providing the day-to-day maintenance services in the areas noted in Attachment 1. The City would continue to have the master agreement with the County, which would be amended to specify when they were to respond to activities. The City would include a clause which specified that work by the County Road Department should only be conducted within the City of Dublin upon receipt of a written service request. It has been noted that in specific areas, the County is capable of responding in an effective manner. Cm. Moffatt questioned if the 90 day cancellation clause was bilateral. City Manager Ambrose explained that it could be cancelled by either party. Cm. Moffatt questioned who would ultimately determine if work was performed at an acceptable level. City Manager Ambrose indicated he would be the responsible person, just as he was the one who answered to the Council for all other services. Several specific areas of service were discussed. Cm. Vonheeder questioned the status of slurry seal projects. City Manager Ambrose indicated the City had been advised that the County will no longer provide this service. On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder, and by unanimous vote, the Council approved the contract with MCE Corporation and agreed to renew the Alameda County contract for other services as discussed. CM-3-125 Regular Meeting June 11, 1984 OTHER BUSINESS Planninq Area Property The City recently received correspondence from Congressman Stark regarding 2 parcels of p[operty, 450 acres owned by the East Bay Regional Park District and 139 acres where DSRSD's sewage facility exists. Recent publicity indicated a national cemetary on part of the property was being considered. Congressman Stark would like to hear from Dublin regarding the disposition of these 2 parcels, prior to a hearing scheduled for the following morning. Cm. Jeffery felt perhaps the best approach would be to simply ask for what we want. Mayor Snyder felt that, given a choice, the City would rather see a park developed on the property than a cemetary. DUblin's main concern at this point in time was the question of access. Council consensus was that Mayor Snyder would call Congressman Stark the following morning, convey the Council's feelings with regard to the access, and defer comment on the back section of property. Tickets/Alameda County Fair City Manager Ambrose indicated the City had received tickets to the Alameda County Fair and Councilmembers should notify Staff of how many they wished. Discussion was held with regard to FPPC reporting responsibilities. Extended Planninq Area Field Trip City Manager Ambrose reminded the Council of the June 14th and June 20th dates for the field trip to the extended planning area. Cable Television Advisory Committee Cm. Hegarty gave a report on the recent meeting of the Cable Television Advisory Committee. Viacom agreed that all four cities (Livermore, ?leasanton, San Ramon and Dublin) will participate in negotiations and have voting rights. Home Repair Fund/City of Pinole Cm. Jeffery reported that she had recently read an interesting newspaper article regarding a fund that had been set up by the City of Pinole, whereby they helped finan'ce repairs made to homes in their City. , CM-3-126 Regular Meeting · June 11, 1984 Revenue & Taxation Committee Meeting Cm. Jeffery reported that she had recently attended a Revenue & Taxation Committee meeting and indicated that SB 1300 and AB 2468 had both been adopted, but were stuck in committee. SB 2641 - Infrastructure Bill - Discussions now being held re developing a new commission to determine who gets the monies (similar to the way ABAG pooling works). AB1073 Cortese - Investment Bill - Cm. Jeffery indicated the League will support this bill, however, she was opposed because it gave the State control rather than local agencies. Cm. Jeffery felt there was a clear analysis of the Jarvis initiative in this months Western City magazine. Pleasanton/Dublin/Livermore/Alameda County Transit Authority City Manager Ambrose reminded the Council that the Bylaws would be agendized for discussion at the City Council meeting of July 23, 1984. ACTEB/ACAP Cm. Moffatt reported that the Valley will receive funding in the amount of $9.2 million. This compares favorably in that Freinont's allocation is approximately $1,200 to $1,500 per student capita, while the Valley's allocation is $2,500 per student capita. The Berkeley question is being mitigated and, according to Cm. Moffatt, has most likely been resolved by now. BART Park & Ride Lot Mayor Snyder reported on a conversation with Cliff Sherwood, Castro Valley, regarding a proposed site (I-680 @ Alcosta Boulevard) for a park & ride lot. Mr. Sherwood suggested the City get together with Castro Valley and work together to pressure BART for a park & ride lot. Alameda County Transportation Committee Cm. Jeffery questioned if Staff had heard any news with regard to the representative on this committee. City Manager Ambrose replied negative, and that he understood that the City of Livermore had written a letter to the County giving them the name of who they wished their appointment to be.
