Community Group/Orpnization~1 Requests ,Identified in. the Fiscal Year 1995..96 Budget (see page xiii) are a nwnber of requests for funding by various community groups/organizations. These requests are as follows. Dublin Substance Abuse Council The City hasrecei~ed a request from the Dublin Substance Abuse Council to fund Dry Grad Ni8ll.., '. ($2,500') and Red Ribbon Week ($2,500). .;.::, .. .'........~:. .<. -, The City has historically funded these programs as part of its contribution toward Drug Prevention efforts in the Community. Last year the City's contribUtion was $4,500. . 'Staffis recommending that. City Council fund the Dublin subAAbuse Council's request in the amount of$5,OOO. .,:. Dublin Unified SchoolsIParent Education Program (p.E.P.) During Fiscal Year 1995-96, the City Council contributed $4,000 to the Parent Education Program (p.E.P.) for the fIrst time. This program trains parent volunteers to serve as drug education instructors in fourth grade classrooms. For Fiscal Year 1996~97, the Dublin Unified School District and P.E.P. have requested a contribution of $2,650 to expand the P.E.P. Program to all fourth and fifth graders in the School District and to introduce a new program, TRIBES, that focuses on self-esteem development. Staff is recommending that the City Council fund this request in the amount of $2,650. Production of Official City Song In April of this year, the City Council received a request from Mr. Steve Stewart to consider funding a professional production of the City's Official Song. The Council directed Staff to place this request as a budget item for discussion and consideration with the Fiscal Year 1996-97 Budget. Staff has prepared a higher service level for this item in the City Council budget, but is not recommending it for funding. .'. Dublin Fine Arts Foundation For a number of years, the City has contributed $10,000 to fund some of the basic operational costs of the Dublin Fine Arts Foundation. In Fiscal Year 1996.97, the City Council agreed to provide funding for the "Art in the Parks" Program. These funds were to be provided as matching funds to those funds raised privately by the Fine Arts Foundation in an amount not to exceed $10,000. During Fiscal Year 1996-97, the Foundation raised sufficient private funding to request $7,500 of the $10,000. In 1996~97, the Foundation is anticipating that it will complete its fund raising for the three "Art in the Parks" Projects and is requesting that the City fund the remaining $2,500 in 1996~97. Staff is recommending that the City Council fund the $12,500 requested by the Dublin Fine Arts Foundation. Tri.Valley Community Television For Fiscal Year 1996-97, the Community Television Board of Directors is requesting a 3.5% in the City contribution to cover the increased cost of providing the basic level of service to the Cities.

''.A~., .'; March 25, 1996 Mayor Guy Houston Members of the City Council City of Dublin 100 Civic Plaza Dublin, CA 94568 Dear Mayor Houston and Council Members; On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Dublin Fine Arts Foundation, I want to thank the City Council for its past support of our programs. As you know, The Dublin Fine Arts Foundation provides fine art programs for the Dublin schools, brings both permanent and temporary sculptures to the public spaces in the community, and creates continually changing exhibitions in the Civic Center lobby. This past year we have commissioned three artists to create site-specific works for three of Dublin's parks and have raised two-thirds of the funds neccessary to complete the works. We are currently working with the Dublin Unified School District to use capital bond money to create permanent works of art in all the schools in the district using professional artists and students. We have again celebrated "Art and the Environment" with an exhibition, "Eco-Design" in the Civic Center Lobby and student created posters in Dublin bus shelters, Exhibitions in the Civic Center Lobby have included "Dublin Collects" and "A Woman's Touch", .'.-:. " The following is a list of scheduled programs from March,1996 to June, 1997: Art Education in the Schools: March - April, 1996 (6 weeks): The artist, Estelle Akimine will work with 7th and 8th graders at Wells Middle School to create woven vests out of recycled materials. This project is being funded in part by Dublin-Livermore Waste. March - May, 1996 (8 weeks): The artist, Seyed Alavi will work with 9th and 10th graders to create a permanent art project for Dublin High School as part of the Foundation's partnership with the Dublin Unified School District to create permanent art projects in each of Dublin's eight schools. September-December, 1996 (12 weeks): The artist, Landa Townsend, will work with Valley High School students to create a ecological garden on the school campus as part of the partnership with Dublin Unified School District. March-April, 1997 (6 weeks): The artist, Ellen Openheimer, will work with a group of elementary students to create a fabric quilt. Dublin Sculpture Park: After 4 years, the sculpture, Dorion, by Bruce Beasley was removed from in front of the Dublin Civic Center. Two other works, by Roger Berry and Peter Voulkos, remain on long term loan and a ceramic figure by the Oakland artist, Katherine Keefer, along with GAIA by Ned Smyth are permanent. We have located a large-scale steel sculpture by Fletcher Benton to replace the work by Bruce Beasley and hope to receive permission from the City Council at the March 26th meeting for its installation. .: " 'I. 1 ~ i ; \ ;: t. i :.:. ;:: l i I ~ \:. {. .. f, ;:; I, f: EXHIBIT 3 L( , - '. ~~ .-, ,- \ r 1 e (', " ~.at..~~,: ioi-.....~~... t IIIIN lIP...

We hope to reach our goal by June, 1996 and be able to install the works in the summer of 1996. At the beginning of 1997, we plan to begin the second phase of commissioning works for three more Dublin parks, Through these financially difficult years, we have been able to creatively maintain our programs in the community by adjusting our operating procedures and establishing partnerships with The Dublin Unified School District and local businesses. We involve the community from children to adults with ongoing programs such as bringing artists into the schools to neighborhood involvement with Art in the Parks. By raising the majority of our funds from foundations and private sourceS, we provide art enrichment to the community at a very modest cost to the taxpayer. However, without the continued financial support from the city, it would be difficult to raise funds from other sources. The funds we receive from the city give us credibility, matching dollars for grants, and working capital. I have enclosed a copy of our budget fOr the next year. We recognize the difficult funding decisions facing the City, However, we are hopeful that you feel the continued support of the Foundation is warranted by the contribution and enrichment we bring to the community, ...-:- '- ' Best regards, ~~ President, Board of Directors !'.

Your funding allowed the program to expand to all fourth grade students at Murray and Nielsen schools, in addition to Frederiksen. Due to the success of this program, it was extended to Frederiksen's fifth graders_ This year, approximately 450 fourth and fifth graders received 12 weeks of extensive training in drug resistance skills, peer and media pressure, refusal skills and much more. They received this training from a source which has the most to gain from the success of this program, our parents. This year, we would like to expand the program to all fourth and fifth graders in the school district. In addition, we would like to enhance the program by providing the lead volunteers with TRIBES training. TRIBES is an excellent program of well-designed lessons that focus on self-esteem development, positive conflict resolution, and cooperative living skills. PEP is based on the fundamentals of TRIBES. This additional training will enhance the volunteers skills and effectiveness in the classroom. Attached is the budget for 1996-1997 school year. Thank you for your concern for the safety of our children. Sincerely, ,&/tM'.J&J~ Karen Sevilla, Volunteer PEP Coordinator 7754 Topaz Circle, Dublin 833-8665 ,: UJ!/rJ,/L f{(df!/eif~~ Cheryl A.

Each City in turn, contributes that funding for repair of equipment at CTV. .,~,.- The proposed funding increase for CVT in FY 1996/97 is + 3.5%, equates to a $5,214 increase overall to $154,214. This 3.5% increase is proposed to ~over additional expenses of providing a "base level" of programming for the funding Cities. This base level includes the following programs: 580/680 News, Mayor's Report, and Valley Forum. Major increases in costs incurred by CTV during FY 1995/96 have been in temporary employee services and full time salaries. These operational costs are imparative to the day to day operations ofCTV and it's ability to provide the Cities a "base level" of programming. * Proposed Funding Level for 1996/97 e-- - - 10 e .:. e- e June 4, 1996 RECEIVED JUN 7 1996 CITY OF DUBLIN Richard Ambrose City Manager City of Dublin P. O. Box 2340 Dublin, California 94568 Dear Richard: This letter is in response to the letter sent to the Community Television (CTV) Board of Directors regarding funding for CTV from the City of Dublin. The T ri- Valley Community Television Board of Directors, in response to the City of Dublin's request in 1993/94, restructured the basis for City funding of CTV and developed a "base level" of operations and public service programming which the Cities funding supports. This base level of programming includes approximately three days of 580/680 News (the fourth day is covered by underwriting) , Valley Forum, election coverage and Mayors Report. Without this base level of financial support-from the Cities, CTV would cease to exist. Any "menu" options that a City may want broadcast is above and beyond the "base." Menu items include City video newsletters, broadcasting of Council meetings and training videos. The Board of Directors, with the support of the Cities, in 1995/96, again in response to Dublin, changed the methodology by which Cities support CTV. Previously, each of the four Cities supported CTV with a flat $48,000. The formula is now based on numbers of Via com subscribers within each City, which resulted in a 55% reduction in cos~ to the City of Dublin. This required an increase in costs to the Cities of Livermore and Pleasanton, which they supported, and continue to support because they understand the benefits that CTV provides to their communities, and the fairness of the methodology.

Box 2340 Dublin, CA 94568 Dear Mr. Ambrose, Several times in past years, Resources for Family Development has appeared before the City Council requesting participation in child care services for the City of Dublin. We are renewing our appeal again this year at the request of a number of child care center directors and family child care home providers in Dublin. They recognize that as Dublin grows in the coming years, insufficient attention may be paid to the child care quality and availability needs offamilies moving to this city. Just as families frequently choose where they will live by the quality of the schools, they also make those decisions based on the availability of quality child care. Dublin currently has 16 centers and 62 licensed family child care homes with a total capacity for about 1,000 children. RFD's recent Annual Survey showed an inadequate supply of spaces particularly for before and after school child care and for children under 2 years old.. There has been substantial research showing the positive effects of quality child care on families and that quality child care is closely related to the training of the caregiver. RFD is submitting a proposal for $12,000 for 1996-97. These funds will be used specifically to increase the availability and the quality of care through: training for new and experienced providers and center staff; increased professionalism, work with employers on options for dealing with work/family issues, through a substitute registry, and recruitment for care for underserved age groups. I hope you will look favorably on this proposal. Very truly yours, /~ ~-y Miriam Miller, Co-Director ~ :;20 CEnaijr,s C~c~:1 ~rl-C{s .::~f:::E- ::>ieasanton Olil:e (:.,0)484.2568 EXHIBIT 6 :...ive:m=-,rs>.

There are also 49 licensed small family child care homes with 6 spaces each, and 13 large family child care homes with 12 spaces each for a total of 450 spaces in homes. Therefore, the child care capacity in Dublin currently is 1,000 children. With a population of about 3,800 children under 10 years, this means that 26% are now in licensed child care for part or all of each day. RFD's latest estimate, which we believe is conservative, is that approximately 1,275 children under 10 years old need care because their parents are working. With only 1,000 spaces for 1,275 children, there is a gap of about 275 licensed spaces. Anecdotal evidence and our observation over 20 years is that while some of these 275 are home alone, particularly the 8 and 9 year olds, most of the remainder are in unlicensed care. Unlicensed facilities do not provide parents with the health and safety protections including fingerprint and child abuse checks that are so important. They also do not provide the quality of care that cities can be proud of. e,. Finding the sources of unlicensed care is not the issue we wish to address. Rather, it is how to send a message to Dublin's current and future families that this city supports quality child care services and that its children are important to the community. Parents looking to move into a new city clearly base a large part of their decision on the quality of the-schools and the quality and availability of child care. Parents and realtors call RFD every day asking these questions. PROPOSED SOLUTIONS RFD, at the request of a large number of Dublin child care centers and licensed family child care homes, is proposing to offer the following services to the City of Dublin that will address the quality and availability of child care. Increasin~ Duality of Child Care · Offer bi-monthly training in Dublin to new and experienced providers.

Pre-licensing visits and informational assistance to help potential providers through the licensing process. The home visit includes on-site explanation of licensing regulations and review of potential licensing problems in the home or center prior to the initial State licensing visit. Community Care Licensing staffhave complemented RFD for the fact that these pre-licensing visits speed up completion of the licensing process. . Increasing professionalism by promoting and assisting with the accreditation process, offering awards to outstanding centers and homes, and access to information on professional resources and materials. . Access to the Child Care Registry at reduced cost which makes screened, trained substitutes available and ensures that State required child/adult ratios are maintained at all times. .
