CIty Manager Ambrose stated that the Dog Park was a General rund Park and the Area G Park was a Public Facility Park. The Area F park developer, Tol1 Brothers, had planned a pnvate center and was proceeding ahead with its development, so It was in the City's best Interest to have the City's deSign done so that the City could request the developer's help with some of the grading needed for Area F. City Manager Ambrose also stated, regardmg Area G, that the City had 15 Staff members working out of trailers at area G and it would cost about $357,000 and take six months to move them to rallon Sports Park on Central Parkway.

Takmg into account two months for consultant services selection, It would take a total of 18 months for the move. Jim Kern, Toll Brothers, advised that they were willmg to work With the City on the Area r park, financlal1y or with other services. CIty Manager Ambrose stated the City could accommodate work on both parks simultaneously, and inqmred if the City Council had a particular schedule in mind. Mayor Lockhart concurred that working on both projects at the same time would be beneficial. City Manager Ambrose clarified that Council was dlrecting Staff to brmg to back before the Council the Area r Consultant SerVIces Agreement, smce the Consultant selection process had already taken place. Additionally, It was his understanding that the Council would like Staff to mclude Area G as part of the FY 2006-07 budget. The Council concurred.

Other Cities had showcased student art In theIl' bus shelters. CIty Manager Ambrose stated that If Council was giving dIrection that they would be amenable to delaying that proJect, it would be helpful direction m order to better utilIze funds. The Council concurred. City Manager Ambrose noted that Staff anticipated beginning deSign of the Area r neighborhood park in FY 2006-07, and asked If It could be delayed for a year If there was a cash flow Issue. The Council concurred. 2.B. Are there any new Capital ProJects that are not In the current Five-Year CIP that the Council would like to see Included II1 the new Five-Year CIP? None - by consensus. em. McCormick asked If wildflowers could be planted With the funds saved from the bus shelters. Public Works Director Morton stated that wildflowers were planted in the Iron Horse Trail area last year, and only needed to be planted every other yeaI'. The City Council directed Staff to plant wildflowers along the Iron Horse Trail every other year. 2.C. If funding IS necessary for Operating Expenditures m 2006-2007, whIch alternative would Council prefer funding in 2006-20077 By consensus - Proceed With Alternatives #1,2,3, and 4, in that order.

DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 25 ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING March 22, 2006 PAGE 1(17 (i) Mayor Lockhart stated that the City frequently had goals that were dependent on other agencies and, many times, did not move forward because of lack of action by those agenCies. Perhaps those particular goals should be marked in some manner to reflect that, so Staff could more accurately reflect the goals that Staff had been able to complete without delay due to other agency inaction. City Manager Ambrose advised that the obJective could be removed from the lIst or could not be counted. The Council discussed the issue and directed Staff to leave all of the goals on the lIst, but not count those that were dependent on other entities for movement when proViding a percentage of goals completed.
