The Budget has been prepared in accordance with the direction provided by the City Council during its' .
February 1997 Budget Preparation Study Session. Existing Landscaping Assessment District fees have
been frozen for Fiscal Year 1997-98 with the exception of the Santa Rita Landscaping Assessment
District in which the City will be charging a fee for the first year. The budget is also predicated upon a
reduction in the Storm Water Control fees.
.
The total recommended appropriations for Fiscal Year 1997-98 are $25,930,199. These appropriations
are allocated to the following areas.
Operating Budget
Debt Service
Capital Improvements
Internal Services Fund

$ 25,519,698
Appropriations to Reserves
$ 410,501
$ 25,930,199
TOTAL 1997-98 APPROPRlATIONS
The Preliminary Budget is funded by $25,685,745 in current year projected revenues and $244,454 in
restricted reserve funds.
For Fiscal Year 1997-98, Staffis recommending an appropriation of$271,106 to General Fund Reserves.
This appropriation is recommended given that the City currently has slweral Capital Costs which are
currently unknown. These Capital Projects include a contractor's claim filed against the City associated .
with the Dougherty Hills Slope Repair Project and the Street Light Acquisition costs which has not been
settled with P G & E. The City also has a need to establish an equipment replacement program for major
pieces of fire apparatus which would require an annual contribution to the City's Internal Services Fund
in the future. In addition, the City is in the process of working with the Dublin Unified School District to
determine the City's contribution toward the Valley High School Community Gymnasium. The
proposed 1997-98 appropriation to General Fund Reserves could possibly be used to fund the City's
initial payment to the School District in Fiscal Year 1998.99.
Community Gronp/Organizational Requests
During the Council Budget Study Session, the City Council requested that Staff identify as high service
levels all community groups/organizational requests with the exception of CTV. During the development
of the Budget, StaffidentiDed a contribution request to the Tri-Valley Visitors & Convention Bureau
which had not been discussed by the Council at its Budget Study. Session; however, the City is currently
obligated under agreement with the Best Western Park Hotel to participate in this organization for Fiscal
Year 1997-98.
Identified in the Fiscal Year 1997-98 Budget are a number of requests for funding by various community
groups/organizations. These requests are as follows.
Dublin Partners in Education
.
The City has received a request from Dublin Partners in Education (DPIE) for a contribution of $10,000.
This funding would be used to hire a part-time coordinator position for DPIE. The total cost for the part-
.time coordinator position is estimated at $25,000 with proposed contributions from the City of Dublin,
-2-
'" .
Dublin Unified School District, and Dublin partners in Education. During the last year, DPIE raised a
total of$15,000.
During the City's Goals & Objectives session, the Council identified as a high priority to work with the
School District to fund an executive director position for Dublin Partners in Education.
"'.
Staff has not yet had an opportunity to work with the School District to evaluate the alternatives for
supporting Dublin Partners in Education.
Staff is not recommending that the City fund a contribution of $1 0,000 for supporting DPIE overhead at
this time given that the cost of the Director exceeds the total fund raising conducted by DPIE in the last
year. Staffwould recommend that the City work with the School District to identify ways that the City
could assist DPIE in supporting its programs.
Dublin Fine Arts Foundation
Dublin Fine Arts Foundation has submitted a request for the City to once again contribute $10,000 to fund
some of the basic operational costs of the Dublin Fine Arts Foundation. During Fiscal Year 1996-97, the
Foundation will have completed its Arts in the Park Program. The City has contributed to this
organization for a number of years. The funds contributed by the City enable the Foundation to have
matching dollars for grants and working capital.
Staff recommends that the City Council fund the $10,000 requested by the Dublin Fine Arts Foundation.
Resources for Family Development
. For Fiscal Year 1997-98, the City has received a request in the amount of $12,000 from the Resources for
Family Development (RFD). This amount is the same amount offunding granted to RFD by the City in
Fiscal Year 1996-97. These funds are used to promote quality child care within the City of Dublin which
is of particular benefit to employers as the City continues to grow and maintain its economic
competitiveness.
Staifis recommending that the City Council fund RFD's request of $12,000.
Tri-Valley Community Television
For Fiscal Year 1997-98, Tri-Valley Community Television is requesting $23,611. This represents an
increase of$I,605 over Fiscal Year 1996-97. This increase is based on a cost of living increase of
approximately 3.5%, as well as increased operational costs associated with the additions of public access
channels 69 and 70. The Valley City representatives have evaluated CTV's budget at great length and
recommend that each of the CTV member Cities support the proposed increase.
Staffis recommending that City Council fund CTV's request in the amount of$23,611.
Dublin Substance Abuse Council
. The City has received a request from the Dublin Substance Abuse Council to fund Dry Grad Night
($2,500) and Red Ribbon Week ($2,500).
-3-
The City has historically funded these programs as part of its contribution towards drug prevention dforts '
in the community. This year's request is the same level of contribution funded by the City in Fiscal Year
1996-97.
Staff is recommending that the City Council fund the Dublin Substance Abuse Council request in the
amount of $5,000. ."
Dublin Unified SchoolslParent Education Program (p.E.P)
The City has funded the Parent Education Program for the last two years. In Fiscal Year 1995~96, the
Council contributed $4,000 for the purpose of training parent volunteers to serve as drug education
instructors in the fourth grade classrooms. In Fiscal Year 1996-97, the City Council contributed $2,650 to
P .E.P. to expand the program to all fourth and :fifth graders in the School District and to introduce a new
program, lRIBES that focused on self-esteem development.
For Fiscal Year 1997-98, Dublin Unified School District and P.E.P. have requested a contribution of
$4,830 to expand the P.E.P. Program to the new elementary school, Dublin Elementary, as well as to
recertify volunteers at existing program sites.
Staff is recommending the City Council fund this request in the amount of $4,830.
High Service Level Budget Requests
As indicated on page xiii of the Preliminary Budget, a total of$307,717 in higher service levels have been
identified for Fiscal Year 1997-98. The City Manager is recommending that the City Council fund
$160,000 in higher service level requests. Detailed descriptions of the Higher Service Levels is included .
in each appropriate Budget Activity.

To: Dublin City Council
From: Dublin Panners In Education (DPIE) Board of Directors
Date: March 14, 1997
Re: Proposal
BACKGROUND
Dublin Partners In Education (DPIE) has been in existence since 1992. Fonned to include alllocaI .
businesses and community organizations in partnership with the Dublin Schools, DPIE has been quite
successful in building a significant membership and lists an impressive number of support activities for
the schools. Major annual activities include our annual membership luncheon, held at Dublin High
School to view student performances and enjoy lunch prepared and served by the students in the Home
Economics classes. Other significant events revolve around Educational Partnership Week, always
celebrated the third week of March, in which Principal For A Day (CEO Awareness Day), Students into
Business (Job Shadowing), and the Big Bucks Dinner (fund.raiser) are held.
DPIE was also the originator and founder of the From Crayons To Computers Warehouse concept and
enlisted. the assistance of the Tri. Valley Business Council, The Federal Correctional Institute, and our
neighboring school districts to see this project to completion. It now handles 15,000 square feet of
warehouse b-pace filled with donated surplus materials available free to our valley's teachers.
In addition, DPIE raised nearly $15,000 last year, of which $10,000 went into a mini-grant program for
classroom teacher's projects.
CURRENT STATUS
DPIE, now in it's 5th year, has operated totally by volunteer involvement of business, community
organization, and school district volunteers. The recruitment of this involvement and the coordination
of the DPIE activities has become more demanding than what can be accomplished by all volunteers.
Therefore, for continued coordination and strengthening of DPJE's programs to benefit our schools and
community, a part.time paid Coordinator position is greatly needed.
A similar organization, Pleasanton Partners Tn Education (PPIE) has an 80% Director position that is a
paid position. Dublin Partners In Education (DPIE), could accomplish their annual programs with a
.

50% CoordinatorlDirector position. To obtain funding for such a position, it has been proposed by our
Directors that this Coordinator/Director position be a joint funding venmre between the School District,
the City of Dublin, and Dublin Partners In Education (DPlE).
The cost of a halftime CoordinatorlDirector is estimated at $25,000. The partnership to fund this
position is proposed as follows:
$10,000
$10,000
$5,000
The City of DubJin
Dublin Unified School District
Dublin Partners In Education (DPIE)
$25,000
Total
The CoordinatorlDirector would be eApected to conduct fund-raisers and write proposals for funding
that could, in the second year. reduce the contribution by each party in half.
TIMRLlNE
.
Should this proposal be approved, the hiring of the DPIE CoordinatorlDirector would take place in July
with a start date of August 1, 1997.
RECOMMENDATION:
, We highly recommend the hiring of a DPIB CoordinatorlDirecror to oversee the DPIE programs in our
community and ask for your consideration in joining in a true partnership to advance our schoolf
business/community partnership efforts.

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 two artists to create site-specific works for two of
Dublin's parks and the works have now been installed in Stagecoach and Alamo Creek Park.
We continue to work 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.
Exhibitions in the Civic Center Lobby have included "Dublin Collects" and "The Art of Raku".
The following is a list of scheduled programs from March,1997 to June, 1998:
.
Art Education in the Schools:
March - May, 1997 (8 weeks): The ceramic artist, Judy Hiramoto will work with B classes at
Frederiksen Elementary School create a permanent art project for Frederiksen 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.
Summer and Fall, 1997 (12 weeks): The artist Johanna Poethig will work with students from
Wells Middles to create a permanent art project that will be encorporated into the extensive
remodeling that will take place at Wells starting January, 1998. This project is part of the
partnership project with Dublin Unified School District.
September-December,1997 (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.
October - December. 1997 (12 weeks): The artist, Ellen Openheimer, will work with a group of
elementary students to create a fabric quilt. (pending a grant from the California Arts Council).
Dublin Sculpture Park:
Three works by Roger Berry, Fletcher Benton 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 continue to look for large-scale works of the highest quality to add to
the park. In an article in the San Francisco Examiner (April 14, 1996) highlighting the city of
Dublin, the commssioned artworks were mentioned as part of the amenities of the Civic Center.

Temporary Exhibitions in the Civic Center Lobby:
We had to temporarily suspend the exhibition program because of the need to refurbish
and obtain more cases for this popular program.
May~June: "Baskets of Beads" an exhibition of contemporary small scale baskets.
June-July: "Dublin Collects", an invitational exhibition from a Dublin resident.
August-September: "Toys as Art"
October-November. "Dublin Collects"
December. Civic Center Christmas Tree
January - June, 199,8: To be developed
This program has been funded by Meyers, Nave, Silver, & Wilson in the past.
Art in the Parks:
The Foundation has been successful in raising funds and completing two of the
commissions for the Art in the Park program. In the next six months, we plan to begin the
second phase of commissioning works for two more Dublin parks.
Artists Residency in Stoneridge Mall:
The Foundation has received a large and prestigious grant from a private Foundation,
The Creative Work Fund, which is composed of members of the Haas Family of San Francisco
to conduct a six month long artist residency in Stoneridge Mall. Three artists, Larry Sultan, Jon
Rubin, and Harrell Fletcher, will begin the residency this summer with exhibitions exploring and
reflecting "Mall Culture" and the surrounding communities to be installed the beginning of August
through October, 1997. Stoneridge Mall will be working with the artists and the Foundation to
involve the surrounding communities and publicize the project.
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.

RESOURCES FOR FAMILY DEVELOPMENT

Richard Ambrose, City Manager
P.O. Box 2340
Dublin, CA 94568
Dear Mr. Ambrose,
Resources for Family Development is pleased to present a request for funding for the
fiscal year 1997/98. We understand the funding for agencies such as ours is outside of
the base budget and will be considered separately from that process.
.
The $12,000. request for 1997/98 is the same amount as the grant that RFD received from,
the City of Dublin for 1996/97. The requested funds are to be used to provide specific
services for Dublin residents. The request for 1997/98 includes all of the services
provided under the 1996/97 contract. During the past 6 months RFD has carried out all
of the goals, objectives and activities outlined in the Dublin workplan. All timelines have
been met.
Dublin residents benefit by having the City acknowledge the importance of quality child
care and ensuring that services are available to help child care providers become licensed
and grow as professional caregivers. Employers benefit by receiving a quarterly
newsletter that keeps them informed about work/family issues and how employers can
help alleviate some of the pressure on employees trying to juggle work and family
responsibilities. The city benefits by recognizing that quality child care is important to
the economic well being of the community, It affects Dublin's ability to attract new
business and maintain established ones.
The enclosed packet of materials includes: evaluation of goals/objectives/activities for
1996/97, a specific outline of proposed services and fees for 1997/98, a proposed work
plan for 1997/98 and a current agency budget.
We look forward to continuing to work with parents, providers and City of Dublin staff.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call.

Board of Directors
RE: Attached Budget Proposal Submitted to City's
The City representatives of Dublin, Pleasanton, Livermore and San Ramon met on Monday, May 6 to
discuss the budget request ofthe CTV Board of Directors.
The representatives of the City's felt that given the political climate in each of our agencies, that we
could support the increase in funding for the operations budget (to the $198,000 level recommended by
the Board) due to TCl subscriber increases, the increase in channels (+channels 69 and 70) and a cost of
living increase of approximately 3.5%. This represents an overall increase of22% of the operation
budget for CTV. The City representatives, myself for San Ramon, Ellyn Axelrod of Livennore, Nelson
Fiahlo of Pleasant on and Steve Honse of Dublin, felt that the additional 10% equipment request for this
year on top of the operations request (which would bring the overall increase in funding to 33%) would
be very difficult to support and defend. We were willing however, to go after TCI for equipment funding
support for CTV since CTV is such a great benefit to TCI and their subscribers,
Given the difficulty we have had in the past several years in securing City funding for CTV, we believe
that the City's will be supportive of the operations budget increase given the challenges CTV faces.
Once again, we did not think that the City's would support both an increase in operations and the
equipment surcharge.
It is important for the appointed representatives of the CTV Board to meet with their respective elected
officials to explain the financial reality of CTV and all that CTV has attempted to do to raise funds. And
finally, the elected officials nee.d to know that without the finanical support ofthe City's, CTV would
cease to exist.
Please feel free to call me should you have any qllestions.
Sincerely,
C:i??

Dear Steve,
We are sending the signed contracts for the remainder of this year. I understand your concern
regarding an increase in costs for the the coming year but it is important that we charge a similar
amount for van rental for each city we serve.ln order to bring Dublin's cost in line with San
Ramon, we suggest a 10% increase per meeting for the City of Dublin. Please keep in mind that
each meeting taped requires a playback person to air the program the following evening for the
same amount of time required for the taping. There have been no addtional charges for this
service.
CTV remains committed to serving each city by providing the lowest cost professional video
production services "in-house". I would be happy to submit examples of costs charged by other
production outfits to provide similar services
.
Please call with any questions. 462.3030

Proposed
;: City Funding
Operations Bud~et:
The proposed funding increase for CTV in FY 1997/98 is for an additional $44,298 for base
operations, with a total base budget of $198,510. This 22.5% increase is proposed to cover
additional expenses of providing a "base level" of programming for the funding Cities on three
PEG channels (30,69 & 70), an increase of programming time of 66% over last year, This base
level includes the following programs: 580/680 News, Mayor's Report, and Valley Forum.
Increases in costs incurred by CTV during FY 1996/97 have been in equipment and maintenance
of the aging equipment at the station. Additionally, the software and hardware costs associated
with the progI1lmming and broadcasting of an additional two PEG channels have put a major
demand of both time and money on the station.
It is also important to realize that this funding request brings CTV back to funding levels pre-
1992/93 when each city contributed $48,000 for the operations of Community Television,

Note: Each City also receives a $1,000 "contribution" for equipment and repair annually from
TCI as a franchise requirement. Each City in turn, contributes that funding for repair of .
equipment at CTV.
CTV Fundraising Activities
Over this past fiscal year, the CTV Board of Directors has initiated several new funding
activities, which will, in the future, should produce income for the station. Three major funding
programs were initiated this past year: 1) CTV bill stuffer in the TCI billings: marginal return
on the time it took to put the program in place; 2) Established CTV Honor Roll for $100
contributors; and finally, 3) CTV has signed on as a "Donor Advised Fund," of the Tri-Valley
Community Fund, establishing an endowment fund in the name of Community Television for the
benefit of all.
The CTV Board of Directors is most excited about working with the Tri-Valley Community
Fund, and hopes that this relationship will help produce the required revenues to lessen the
dependency of CTV on the donor cities.
The CTV Board of Directors, in cooperation with our member Cities, would like to approach
TCI for financial assistance with our equipment (both hardware and software) needs for the
station. Additionally, CTV will be soliciting grants for equipment needs at the station from
foundations and trust funds that support public education and public television.

Dear Council Members,
I am writing this letter in support of the Parent Educator Program at Frederiksen School in the Dublin Unified
School District. . Under the direction of Karen Sevilla, the PEP program has proven to be a valuable supplement
to our drug education curriculum. The importance of this program cannot be understated. Karen Sevilla has
sought donations from local businesses and successfully recruited parent volunteers to serve as drug education
instructors in our fourth and fifth grade classrooms. Parent volunteers in the PEP program provide drug
awareness lessons, choices for a healthy lifestyle, and teach children tactics to resist peer pressure. These are
interactive lessons which involve the whole class in a variety of activities. .
' Mayor .Houston supports drug education programs in the schools. The PEP program has proven to be successful
for our students and has met with the approval of our parents. As a drug education program, PEP offers some
distinct advantages. First, it involves members of our community in a meaningful way. Parents who teach
children healthy choices 'and refusal skills are helping shape the youth of our city. Another advantage is PEP's
cost effectiveness. Parents can be trained for an initial e>..-pense of$175 and recertified annually for $15.
Supplies . and administrative fees cost about $600 per year.
Karen Sooa met with the site councils and parent clubs of each elementary school and persuaded volunteers' and
staff to develop local Parent Educator Programs. So far, she has been able to recruit a dedicated cadre of'
volunteers for each school. The success of PEP virtually speaks for itself.
With assistance from the City of Dublin, the PEP program could continue to be a model drug prevention
program, Under the leadership of Karen Sevilla, I am confident that students will continue to ben~t from the
,Parent Educator Program:.
Sincerely,
~
Sherri Beetz.
Principal.
