ESN is a coalition of organizations and individuals fighting to prevent and eliminate homelessness and hunger in Alameda County. Many of our members are organizations that are dedicated, on a daily basis, to providing food, shelter, counseling, and other direct services to help move people away from living on the streets to securing independent and dignified lives for themselves and their families. The purpose of ESN is to coordinate services so that our members can share knowledge and scarce resources, and to provide a mechanism for joining together to work towards eliminating homelessness and hunger through improving programs and policies. Our membership includes the full spectrum of people fighting homelessness and hunger: elected officials and their staff, public agencies, service providers, religious organizations, and individual citizens, including those who are or have been homeless. During 1999, ESN undertook a variety of activities to protect and expand services for the homeless: please see attached Annual Report. ESN requests dues from each city in Alameda County (based on population size) so that we have financial support from throughout the County. We are requesting $1,000 from the City of Dublin to continue these activities during 2000-2001. I am enclosing an invoice and a copy of our city allocation plan. Please call Jim Hirabayashi, Administrative Assistant if you have any questions. Sincerely, James V.

Box 12004 · OAKLAND, CA 94604 · (510) 747-1090 · FAX (510) 747-I095 1999 YEAR END REPORT SUMMARY OF THE EMERGENCY SERVICES NETWORK OF ALAMEDA COUNTY (ESN) Introduction This has been a year of programmatic transition, reaffirmation, and partnership development for ESN. This annual report summary will assess our activities for the past year and describe our current programmatic focus for the coming year. EDUCATION AND TRAINING Education and Training activities have seen the most shifts of all our work areas. Our focus is on providing trainings specifically on homelessness and the operations of homeless service facilities that are not provided by other agencies. Thus, this year we held sessions on "Y2K and Homeless Service Providers," "Dealing with Holiday Stress," and "Helping Clients Re-establish Their Credit." SERVICE COORDINATION Super NOFA/FEMA Board Activities After completing site visits in the spring, the FEMA Board completed its annual proposal review and allocation process in November. I am the chairperson of the FEMA Board, but I don't participate in the scoring of proposals. My role, besides chairing the meetings, is to advocate for funding allocations based on need and support to all geographical areas of the county. HUD's Supportive Housing Program NOFA process is the major source of funds for homeless services in the county. ESN, Alameda County, and the cities of Berkeley and Oakland constitute the Super NOFA Convernor Group. This body has taken the lead in setting policy, conducting technical assistance, implementing the application process, and coordinating the review of the process once the application is sent to HUD. For the past several months, the Convenor Group has been holding a series of meetings to determine how to best maintain our current service system. Continuum of Care Activities With the creation of the County's Continuum of Care Council and its counterparts in Oakland and Berkeley, ESN is no longer the central homeless services coordination agency in the county. Our role has now changed to a partnership relationship with different Continuum of Care bodies. ESN's general focus for its Continuum of Care advocacy is the maintenance and expansion of the homeless delivery system in the County. Then our focus becomes the adoption of programmatic priorities and their implementation within the appropriate County and City policy bodies and departments. In Oakland, ESN is a member of the Steering Comrrfittee of the Oakland Planning Group. At the county level, ESN has a dedicated seat on the Continuum of Care Council and its Executive Committee. Two key lobbying efforts around the Continuum of Care were the creation of a jointly sponsored winter shelter by Berkeley, A COALITION DEDICATED TO ELIMINATING HUNGER AND HOMELE. CLS'NE.$'.$' Oakland, and Alameda County and the expansio~ of available permanent housing for people coming out of homelessness. ESN's Community Building and Advocacy Project ESN has changed the name of its "Public Education and Advocacy Project" to the "Community Building and Advocacy Project." Our community-based service provision activity involves the creation of the Workforce Development Campus at the Oakland Army Base. In support of the Workforce Development Campus, ESN has been conducting educational and outreach meetings to the West Oakland community and faith-based organizations to gain their support for the campus. We have also conducted outreach at Oakland shelters and drop-in centers to educate their clients about the job training. The next six months of our work will be focused on involving residents from West Oakland in the planning and implementation of the Workforce Development Campus. One of the outgrowths of our work to implement the Workforce Development Campus at the Army Base has been our increasing working relationship with labor unions around jobs for homeless and low-income residents of Oakland. Thus, in the past year, ESN has been helping to set up the City of Oakland's Apprenticeship Workforce Development Partnership System. ESN has also taken on new community organizing efforts. They include support for the Living Wage Initiative and the Coalition for an Accountable Port (CAP). ESN's Legislative and Mobilization activities for the past year included the creation of mobile outreach teams to homeless encampments, the expansion of permanent housing for homeless individuals, and the opening of a winter shelter in Oakland sponsored by Oakland, Berkeley, and Alameda County. We had limited success in our statewide advocacy efforts. Lobbying and letter writing were done in concert with East Bay Housing Organizations (EBHO) and Housing California, a state wide housing and homeless coalition. In the coming legislative year, our key legislative focus at the state and local levels will be: 1) maintaining and expanding the homeless service delivery system 2) expanding the amount of and funds for affordable housing 3) defending the Safety Net 4) expanding homeless and low-income assess to public transportation. The Legislative Committee will work with EBHO and Housing California to develop concrete legislative - proposals in the next two months. Conclusion Both our Service Coordination and Community Building approaches have ESN working in new partnership and collaborative relations. Our current direction also puts advocacy and community organizing clearly at the center of ESN activities. Media outreach and the documentation of ESN's successes is even more critical now. The publication of our newsletter on a more regular basis and a more effective system for turning out our members at affordable housing job access activities are key in forging stronger alliances to expand the homeless services delivery system in the county. However, at the center of these activities is staff. Thus, to fully implement these areas of work, ESN will need full time media and administrative staff instead our current part-time staff. We will also need two full-time community organizers. Of course, expanding foundation support is key to fullY implementing our Community Building and Advocacy Project. This is a major priority of mine as we enter the New Year.

To earn the logo, businesses must comply with environmental laws and regulations, conserve energy, water and raw materials, and use sound business practices to prevent environmental pollution. The Alameda County Green Business Program (GBP) works closely with other Bay Area GBPs, using consistent standards, certification processes and logo. In 1996 Alameda County started its GBP in parmership with the automotive repair industry. Bythe summer of 1997, the Program was opened to printers. During 1998-99, the Alameda GBP launched Green Business Standards for Hotels and Motels. In 1999 the GBP brought partners together for a fiveyear ~ic planning process and refined the General Program standards so that any interested business can complete the application process.

What do these disparate businesses have in common? They're a cross-section of the more than 250 businesses participating in the San Francisco Bay Area Green Business Program- and the list keeps growing. The Bay Area Green Business Program was launched in 1995 by the Bay Area Hazardous Waste Management Facility Allocation Committee. Chaired by Mayor Rosemary Corbin of Richmond and administered by ABAG, the committee oversees hazardous waste planning and waste reduction efforts for the nine Bay Area counties. Modeled on the Sonoma Green Business and Palo Alto' Clean Bay programs, the Bay Area Green Business Program promotes environmental compliance and the use of "best practices" to prevent pollution and conserve resources. ~b-~ AR~4 There are 33 certified Green Businesses in Alameda County: 24 auto and 5 print shops. Ten neWly-certified companies were honored at a special May 20th meeting of the Economic Development Alliance for Business in Hayward. State Treasurer Phil Angelides was the keynote speaker. This summer, Alameda's program wil be "field testing" a newly developed checklist for hotels. In the next year or so, the county plans to expand the program to dry cleaners, grocery stores and restaurants. For more information on Alameda County's Pro- gram, contact Pam Evans, Environmental Health Departr~ent, at 510/ 567-6770 or e-mail Pevans~.alameda~c~us). Contra Costa County kicked off its Green Business program in April 1998 and is rolling Business participation is voluntary. County coordinators assist businesses in complying with environmental regulations and in moving beyond compliance to meet higher standards for waste reduction, pollution prevention, and energy and water conservation. Certified green businesses receive public recognition, which includes the right to display the Bay Area Green Business logo in their shops and advertising. This "seal of approval" announces their achievements to an increasingly environmentally- savvy buying public. Not only do businesses, consumers, and the environment benefit from the Green Business Program, but so do local governments. Some jurisdictions have achieved cost savings through consolidated inspections. Others have improved coordination, communication and cooperation between departments and agencies. Many have also reported improved relations with the business community. steadily along. By April of this year it had 33 auto shops on board. By next April, the county plans to certify another 17 auto shops, for a total of 50; sponsor two EPA-designed workshops for auto shops and inspectors; and certify at least five car dealers. The auto workshops teach how to wash car parts with water- based systems rather than solvents; how to clean floors without run-off; how to use refillable bottles rather than individual cans of brake cleaners or lubricants; and how to recycle antifreeze. The county plans to kick off a program for printers in November and certify five printers by April 2000. The county also intends to begin applying "green standards" to its own corporation yards and agencies.

Brochure: Printing Industry Genera[ Green Business Brochure ss June 1, 2000 Dear Mr. Behrmann: As you know Crayons to Computers has been suPplying the Livermore, Pleasanton, and Dublin school districts with surplus material - free of charge - for five years. Everything from file cabinets and chairs to scissors, staplers and art supplies. During that time we have donated approximately $2.7 million in surplus material which included thousands of computers. We have had more than 7,330 teacher visits to our warehouse and with the help of the Alameda County Source Reduction & RecYcling Board have diverted nearly 500 tons of material from the local landfills. The program has operated for the past five years in a warehouse owned by NASA, free of charge. NASA now needs that facility and Crayons to Computers is scheduled to close in June. We believe this program has provided vital support to our Tri-Valley teachers and schools. We have been seeking alternative approaches to continue the program. The Alameda County Waste Management Authority has taken the lead in this effort. We are considering reducing the scope of the program by eliminating computer refurbishment. It appears that the demand for computers has been diminishing and this part of the program is no longer essential. We are currently utilizing over 10,000 square feet of space. By eliminating computer refurbishment we can reduce the space need to 5,000 square feet or less. We are actively seeking warehouse space at this level, hopefully donated free. If we are to continue the program we need financial support. We are estimating a $65,000 Annual Budget for the program. Plus the cost of warehouse rental space, if any. The Alameda County Waste Management Authority has pledged a $10,000 contribution and we are seeking $5,000 from each school district. We are asking that each city pledge to donate $5,000 toward the program. We will also seek contributions from other sources. We intend to increase the scope of the program by expanding the services to private schools and local non-profit agencies. We are trying to move the program forward; the key element right now is finding a space, preferably free space. The other key is funding and we're seeking your help. Your consideration is appreciated. Sincerely, o~m O'Malley, President ATTACHMENT 7 P.O.

With. the successful conclusion of this year's campaign, we are already planning the 2001 campaign. We ask you to commit to a level of support equal to or greater than in 2000. I am enclosing the final report on. the 2000 campaign.. The media, campaign resulted in more than 24 million exposures to either a TV or radio a.d. The grocery stores printed the campaign message on. two million paper bags, 250,000 Safeway milk cartons, and ads in 525,000 Cala Foods newspaper inserts. BART donated banner space at their 15 most well-traveled stations, and Go Network purchased reusable lunch bags for an entire school as part of our opening event. Campaign 2001 will take place in January, 2001 and will be similar to this year's campaign. The waste prevention messages will once again, be: · Buy the largest size you can. use; avoid excess packaging. · Buy long-lasting and reusable products. We created new radio spots this year and we will use them in 2001 along with the TV ads we produced in 1999. We will be looking to increase our exposure thrOugh other sponsors and venues and welcome any suggestions. We are hiring a new' coordinator for the 2001 campaign, and he or she will contact you to follow up on this letter. Meanwhile, please include Save Money and the Environment Too in your budget planning and if you'd like to commit now or pay out of your 2000 budget, please drop me an. email at jboone@co.sanmateo.ca.us. We are always happy to accept early commitments and payments! Thank you, Jill Boone Campaign 2000 Coordinator 650-599-1433 ATTACHMENT 8 SAVE MONEY AND THE ENVIRONMENT TOO 2000 CAMPAIGN SUMMARY The 2000 Shop Smart - Save Money and the Environment Too Campaign marked the fifth year of the San Francisco Bay Area waste prevention campaign. The campaign is a unique award- winningI partnership that brings together local government and private industry to educate consumers on the importance of waste prevention (stopping the generation of waste before it happens), and reuse (buying long l~i~ting and reusable products). This campaign w~.s designed to increase consumer awareness of the relationship between their actions and the environment and to show consumers that there are environmental options that are better than recycling. The campaign highlighted some of the simple and money saving shopping habits consumers can practice to help reduce and reuse the waste stream.. The 2000 Save Money and the Environment Too Campaign (originally called Shop SMART) combined the efforts of 110 cities and 9 counties in the Bay Area region with the California Integrated Waste Management Board, BART, Go Network, and three supermarket chains to communicate the importance of waste prevention. The campaign ran from January 10 to January 31, with a number of messages and PSA's continuing to be seen or heard into the Spring. The four previous campaigns have received positive feedback and multiple awards. Campaign consultants stressed the importance of keeping the same campaign message and overall campaign format to enhance the campaign's ability to reach its target audience effectively. Following this advice, the campaign has used the same messages since 1998: · Buy Reusable and Long-Lasting Products · Buy the Largest Size You Can Use The focus of the 2000 Campaign was TV and radio media presence. The generosity of the Alameda Waste Management Authority allowed for the production of new, professional radio spots in English and Spanish that effectively and humorously communicated the messages. Banners, reused from last year, with the campaign's message were hung at the 15 most heavily traveled BART stations. The Campaign was supported by messages on grocery bags, milk cartons, and store advertising. New this Awards won to date in.dude: National Recycling Coalition's 1996 Beth Brown Boettner Award for Outstanding Public Education; 1996 National Association of Counties Achievement Award; California Resource Recovery Association's 1996 Waste Prevention Award; Waste Education Partnership Award of Excellence from Local Government Commission and California Integrated Waste Management Board; National Awards Council for Environmental Sustainability Certificate of Environmental Achievement; Semi-finalist in the Innovations in Government Award - Harvard School of Business and the Ford foundation; Trash Cutters Award, given by the California Integrated Waste Management Board in partnership with the Local Government Technical Advisory Committee. Final Report 2000 Save Money and the Envirom-nent Too Campai~?n page 2 year was a corporate sponsor, Go Network, who donated reusable lunch bags and containers to an entire school in Sunnyvale. This was done as part of the successful opening event organized by the City of Sunnyvale and the County of Santa Clara 'County. A major contribution of airtime was donated by the California Integrated Waste Management Board. Two weeks of their spots on CBS's Trash Talk were used for our ads. Target Audience. The campaign focuses on working women between the ages of 25 and 54. Extensive market research conducted for the 1998 campaign showed that women are the primary shoppers and many of the behaviors the campaign targets for change take place in the supermarket. More than 50% of women work today and research shows, that working women are more likely to change their behavior based on additional information and reminders than are those who don't work. The campaign planning committee increased the TV portion of the media buy this year to over half of the budget. The paid electronic media campaign (400 radio ads and 381 television ads) resulted in 24,720,821 impressions (which means that, on average, 74% of the adults in the Bay Area saw or heard 4.9 commercials during the campaign). 60% percent of the 1,631,000 women ...... our target audience--saw or heard th~ Spots an average of more than 3 times. In addition to this, Fremont made a special cable purchase of an. additional 290 spots. Coverage of the campaign included radio interviews, articles in. 34 newspapers and other publications, and public service announcements on 25 television stations. Cities and counties also purchased ads in 46 newspapers. As in. previous campaigns, the supermarket chains--Safeway, Cala Foods/Bell. Markets, and Andronico's--printed our messages on 2 million paper shopping bags. Safeway printed the message on 250,000 milk cartons and Cala Foods/Bell Markets included an ad in 525,000 mailers. MEDIA CAMPAIGN The campaign's media buy was strategically planned to reach our target audience of Working women: between. 25 and 54 years old. TV and radio stations were chosen for their audience profile, programming format and geographic reach. The media reach was focused on early morning news and Commute times with Some daytime and early evening coverage. Ads were purchased on 4 TV, 4 cable, and 8 radio stations as listed in the following chart.

The event attracted coverage from several TV, radio, and print media including Bay TV, KCBS Radio, KBAY, KLIV, the San Jose Mercury News, Sing Tao Daily, and the Sunnyvale Sun. HOTLINE A hotline script was placed on the US EPA's 1-800 CLEANUP hotline. A 1-800 hotline allowed the campaign to include a phone number for information in its outreach materials. US EPA's hotline's associated website include a page with the campaign. messages and hints for saving money while protecting the environment. Both the phone message and the web page continue to be active year round. STAFFING/COORDINATION A paid coordinator worked with a m.ulti-jurisdictional working group to coordinate the campaign. The working group, consisting of solid waste and recycling professionals from local government representing five counties met monthly to review and discuss the progress of the campaign. Working group members included: David Assmann (City and County of San Francisco), Bruce Goddard (Alameda County Waste Management Authority), Linda Bagneschi (City of Sunnyvale), Cheri Puts (County of San Mateo), Lynne Manzer (City of Fremont), Lorna Brown (Contra Costa County), Debby Dunn (San Francisco), Papia Banerjee (City of Mountain View), Margaret Rands (Santa Clara County) and Program Coordinator Jill Boone. Other Bay Area Counties did not send representatives to the working group meetings, but actively supported the campaign. Pat O'Rourke coordinated the television and radio buy. The new radio ads were done by Earwax Productions, Inc. New print ads were created by Lisa Duba using photographs taken by Jill Boone and Debby Dunn. The opening event, the media outreach and press releases were organized by Linda Bagneschi, and Catherine Pandori (from Santa Clara County).

O. Box 2340 Dublin, CA 94568 Dear Mr. Ambrose: Child Care Links is pleased to present this request for funding for the fiscal year 2000- 2001. It is understood the funding for agencies such as ours is outside of the base budget for the City of Dublin and will be considered in a separate process. The $12,000 request for 2000-2001 is the same amount as the past three ye~s. The requested funds are to be Used to provide Specific services for DUblin residents. The new request includes all of the services that have been provided the past two years. The Board and staff of Child Care Links are looking forward to continuing to work with parents, child care providers and City of Dublin staff. Please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions. Very truly yours, Sally Leonard Resource and Referral/Special Projects Coordinator 1020 Serpentine Ln., Ste. 102 Pleasanton.

Child Care Links services are available to all families seeking child care information. No other agency in the Valley provides free child care resource and referral, child care supply and need data, consumer education and child care advocacy. Child Care Links also offers the most comprehensive child care provider and support services. The Valley has an estimated 8950 children needing child care with licensed space available for 7725 children. Dublin has 1289 children needing care with licensed space for 1209 children. Available licensed spaces have increased by 1.9% this past year. In 1999, 482 families called Child Care Links requesting child care referrals in Dublin for 587 children. This past year, Child Care Links offered technical assistance and support to 65 licensed family child care homes and 16 licensed child care centers in Dublin. This included workshops, toy lending library delivery and pick up, substitute registry, as well as individual hand holding and support. Since July 1998, there have been 120 requests for child care substitutes from licensed Dublin child care centers and family child care homes. Distribution of informational material on Child Care Links services was made to selected Dublin locations such as library, Chamber of Commerce, elementary schools, real estate agencies and the One Stop Career Center. 61 businesses with over 25 employees received a quarterly newsletter, EQ, with information on family friendly benefits and options to help employees balance work family responsibilities. Child Care Links is requesting $12,000 for the year 2000-2001 which is the same amount as the grant Child Care Links has received from the. City of Dublin for the past three years. During the past seven months Child Care Links has carried out all of the goals, objectives, and activities outlined in the Dublin work plan for 1999-2000. Attached are Child Care Links work plan for the year 2000-2001, an evaluation to date of the 1999-2000 plan, budget for the current fiscal year and proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year.

Houston and City Council Members City of Dublin. 100 Civic Plaza Dublin, CA 94568 Re: Dublin Fine Arts Foundation Funding Dear Mayor Houston and Members of the City Council: On behalf of the Dublin Fine Arts Foundation, I would like to request that the City include a funding contribution to the Foundation of $20,000 for the upcoming fiscal year. As you know, the City has provided support for the Foundation in the past. These contributions have been used to fund a portion of the Foundation's core operating costs. This makes it possible for those of us.doing the fundraising to focus on contributions for individual art projects. I have enclosed our budget for the upcoming year. Last year the Foundation did not ask for funding because the City was undertaking a cultural assessment survey, and establishing the new Arts and Heritage Commission. We felt it was a good time to reassess the mission of the Foundation as well. We have concluded that we can be most effective by focusing our energies and fundraising efforts on the selection and acquisition of permanent commissioned art in the City's parks and other public spaces. As the City becomes more fully committed to its cultural programs, the Foundation will continue to have an important role to play as a separate organization promoting fine art in these public spaces. This coming fiscal year will be an important and productive one for the Dublin Fine Arts Foundation. This summer artworks will be installed in Kolb and Mapes Park. As you know, these works were selected by neighborhood selection committees following a competitive process between artists. We plan to continue the "Art in the Parks" project by aSsembling a citizen's advisory committee to select artists and invite proposals for Shannon Park. We expect this to be the largest commission awarded and the showpiece of the entire project: As in our past projects, we will invite public participation. The Foundation has also received a major gift of $50,000 from the owners of Dublin Ranch to bring art to the new and exciting area of East Dublin. It is highly likely that our first focus will be the new Emerald Glen Park. ATTACHMENT 10 Mayor G. Houston and City Council Members -2- May 22, 2000 During the upcoming fiscal year, we expect to work closely with the new Arts and Heritage Commission to develop a master plan for arts in the community including East Dublin. As a separate organization working on its own, the Foundation continues to strengthen the arts in the community and further leverage available funding for cultural programs. Sincerely, Ronald C.

This memo summarizes the Board's budget request, as well as staff's findings and recommendations. Fiscal 2000/01 is a balanced budget comprised of operating and capital expenditures. The combined operating and capital budget totals $519,700, which is approximately $70,000 or 13% over the adopted 1999/00 Operating and Capital Budget. The Cities' proposed operating and capital contributions total $359,000, which is approximately $56,500 or 16% over last year's approved amount. Exhibit A illustrates each City's proposed funding share using the approved method for calculating funding levels. This budget was developed conservatively and in consideration of the Cities' priorities. The result is an overall budget that will enable CTV to provide the same high quality programming that the residents of Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton and San Ramon are accustomed to receiving. Exhibit B contains detailed information pertaining to revenues and expenditures. SUMMARY OF EXPENDITURES Operations -- The increase in operating expenditures is based on two primary factors, as follows: Management Exemptions to Overtime Law (AB 60 -- Knox) - AB 60 was signed into law in 1999 and became effective January 1, 2000. While local governments are exempt from this law, a public non-profit cooperation like CTV is not subject to this exemption. This new law raises the salary threshold for management employees and thereby removes the exempt overtime status from some lower paid managers. To qualify for an administrative ATTACHMENT 11 exemption a manager must earn a monthly salary equivalent to no less than two (2) times the State minimum wage ($5.75x2) for full-time employment, or $1,993 monthly. The CTV management classifications currently impacted by this legislation are as follows: Current State $ Amount Classification Salary Requirement Above/Below 1. Production Director $1,850 mo. $1,993 mo. -$143.00 mo. 2. Public Affairs Director $1,850 mo. $1,993 mo. -$143.00 mo. In order for the aforementioned positions to continue in their current capacity as exempt management employees, each position's monthly salary must increase to a minimum of $1,993 per month. For rounding purposes, as well as to reflect the fact that no salary adjustments have been given in recent years, the Board is recommending that the monthly salary for these positions be adjusted to $1,995. From a total compensation standpoint, the fiscal impact associated with these two adjustments represents an annual increase of approximately $5,000. Hourly Wage Adjustments -- The attached budget also reflects hourly wage increases for employees ranging anywhere from 5% to 15% (see Exhibit C). In light of the tight labor market and the need to recruit and retain qualified staff, the Board is recommending that hourly wages for CTV staff be adjusted slightly in order to minimize employee turnover. A salary comparison of community access organizations located in the Bay Area reflects an average hourly wage of approximately $15.00 for technical support positions; CTV's average hourly wage for comparable positions is currently $10.50. The proposed increase would adjust the average hourly wage at CTV to approximately $11.50. Exhibit C provides a breakdown of existing and proposed wage increases by classification type. When applied to a total compensation factor of approximately 35% for miscellaneous benefits and state and federal income tax deductions, the total annual impact associated with these increases is approximately $190,000, resulting in an annual increase of · ~pproximately $50,000 for fiscal year 2000/01. Capital Equipment - Also proposed in fiscal 2000/01 is the continuation of capital support from the Cities totaling $50,000. Two years ago, the Cities committed themselves to an annual contribution of $50,000 over a three year period. The logic behind this decision was to provide CTV with the necessary funds to replace aging equipment. This proposed contribution of $50,000 represents the Cities' third and final payment. The CTV Board of Directors have recently taken action to begin the development of an internal service fund (or replacement fund) for future capital purchases and replacement projects, in order to minimize future dependence on annual capital contributions from the Cities. CONCLUSION Staff recommends approval of CTV's fiscal 2000/01 budget request. While staff recognizes that this represents a higher contribution of revenues from the Cities, we also recognize the value that CTV brings to the Tri-Vailey area. This value was significantly enhanced in 1999 by the relocation of channels 69 and 70 to channels 28 and 29. The relocation of the two channels provides better access to all residents, especially those on fixed income who no longer need to purchase "converter boxes" for televisions manufactured prior to 1990. Additionally, CTV continues to provide excellent educational and government access programming throughout the region, with very limited resources. Staff continues to caution C'IV administration to forecast base level operations in order to minimize large fluctuations in annual operating and capital budget requests to the Cities. This will enable consistent management of CTV fiscal resources, establish criteria to evaluate the organization's financial conditions, create sound financial basis for CTV operations, and promote fiscal confidence. With the recent development of a strategic plan for CTV, staff believes that this planning document will provide the basis for this type of planning and management of fiscal resources in the future. Additionally, the implementation of an internal service fund for capital equipment replacements should also minimize their dependence on City financing. _ Attachments: Exhibit A -- Proposed Funding Levels By City Exhibit B -- Proposed CTV Line-Item Budget Exhibit C - Summary of Hourly Wage Breakdowns ~.ami,2000 PROPOSED FUNDING LEVELS BY CITY $309,000 C'IV OPERATIONS REQUEST 66,577 TOTAL NUMBER OF SUBSCRIBER $4.64 COST PER SUBSCRIBER EXHIBIT a OPERATIONS REQUEST COST PER SHARE FOR CITY SUBSCRIBERS SUBSCRIBER OPERATIONS DUBLIN 7,979 ~ $4.64 $37,032 SAN RAMON 15,381 $4.64 $71,387 P LEASANTO 21,014~ $4.64 $97,531 LIVERMORE 22,2031 $4.64 $103,050 TOTAL 66,5771 $309,000 CAPITAL REC CITY DUBLIN SAN RAMON PLEASANTO LIVERMORE TOTAL UEST SHARE OF CAPITAL $12,500 $12,500, $12,500 $12,500 $50,000 GRAND TOTAL SHARE FOR SHARE OF CITY OPERATIONS CAPITAL TOTAL DUBLIN $37,032 $12,500 $49,532' SAN RAMON $71,387 $12,500 $83,887 P LEASANTO $97,531 $12,5001 $110,031 LIVERM O RE $103,050 $12,500 ! $115,550 TOTAL $309,000 $50,000 i $359,000 c'rV.AMI.00ctv 00/01 TRI-VALLEY COMMUNITY TELEVISION FY 00/01 Budget 99 BUDGET 99 YTD O0 BUDGET BUDGETED INCOME CITIES 252.560 147.327 309.000 CAPITAL 50.000 50.000 50.000 ROP 20.700 10.374 20.700 PRODUCTION 83.000 51.140 90.000 TVCF GRANT UNDERWRITING & GRANTS 29.000 20.850 30.000 EQUIP GRANTS & U/W 5.000 AT&T - REPAIRS 4.000 2.333 4.000 PLEDGES & FUNDRAISING 4~000 683 2.000 DUBBING 4.500 3.465 5.000 INTEREST 4.000 3.402 4.000 OTHER 2.000 0 TOTAL PROJECTED INCOME 453.760 289.574 519,700 BUDGETED EXPENSES SALARIED PERSONNEL 79.200 47.300 84.000 TECH ASST 30.000 16.866 32.000 HOURLY CTV 117.000 73.619 140.000 HOURLY GF 35.000 29.628 45.000 HOURLY ROP 11.000 - 4.333 12.000 PAYROLL TAXES CTV 22.620 11.959 25.500 PAYROLL TAXES GF 3.700 2.237 4.500 PAYROLL TAXES ROP 1.100 364 1.200 WORKERS COMP 3.000 1.822 3.500 CONTRACTED SERVICES CTV 5.000 2.544 6.000 CONTRACTED SERVICES GF 12.000 6.721 14.000 SUBTOTAL LABOR 319.620 197,393 367.700 VAN RENTAL 10.000 6.928 13.000 TELEPHONE 6.000 2.987 7.000 INSU~NCE 6.500 1.256 7.000 DISTRIBUTION 2.500 1.247 2.500 Legal & Professional 15.520 8.230 17.000 OFFICE EXP 6.500 2.839 7.000 PRODUCTION EXP 8.000 8.870 11.000 TAPES 5.000 4.542 6.000 REPAIRS & MAINT 6.500 2.451 8.000 RENT/LEASES 5.400 3.189 5.400 MEDICAL iNSURANCE 1.800 825 3.600 PAYROLL PROCESSING 3.500 1.703 4.000 MEALS/HOSPITALITY 1.500 479 2.000 BANK FEES 500 157 500 INTEREST EXP 314 0 PROMOTIONS & ADVERTI 1.000 9t 0 FUND PJ~tSING 3.000 218 3.000 MILEAGE (INTERNS) 500 26 0 eQUIP REPLACEMENT FUND 5.000 CAPITAL EQUIPMENT 50.000 50.000 50.000 TOTAL EXPENSES NET EXCESS/(DEFICIT) 453,340 293,745 420 (4,171) 519,700 0 EXHIBIT B Core Programming Hourly Wage Breakdown Current Position IL,-s/wk S/hr Annual Needed 00/01' S/hr Annual Ill I I Producer 32 $13 $20,800 $15 $24,000 Reporters (3) 32 9 43,200 10 48,000 Studio Manager/Graphics 16 12 9,600 13 10,4 00 Sporls Producer 32 10 16,000 ! 1 17,600 Production Staff(5 x 1/4) 44 8 17,600 9 19,800 Anchors 8 10 '4,000 10 4,000 IT/Web/Maint 8 9 3,600 9 3,600 Office Asst 8 13 5,200 15 6,000 Mayor's Report & Valley Forum 4,000 4,000 Overtime Premium 2,500 Totals $124,000 $139,900 * Represcn~ a slairstep to raising staff closet to regional cable and govenuncnt access market equivalents. 03/01/0:0 i5:12 FAX 925 846 9502 TRI VALLEY CVB Plgasanton - Livermor~ Dublin · San Ramon 0O5 TO:.

We are requesting sixty one thousand seven hundred ten dollam ($61,710) fOr the next fiscal year as part of the regional tourism funding formula. The last four years have seen tremendous growth in tourism and in our ability to aggressively pursue and capture it for economic gain. As we live and work in a global economy, it is apparent now more than ever before that we must continue to band together to achieve maximum impact in this industry. Ma_ny communities throughout California are doing ju,t that and benefiting from their efforts. 'The main purPose of the Tri-Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau continues to be to promote our region to the Bay Area, California, North America and internationally. We represent our funding cities as the offidal public relations, sales and marketing arm for the area. The "identity" created is a collaborative effort among all. We also act as the Information clearing house for visitors~ meeting planners and tour operators to our region. As a membership based organization, we market and promote our funding cities and sell our members! Our City of Dublin members include the hotels, restaurants, theaters, retail, business and non profits. Our main goal is to increase tourism on weekends during shoulder periods. We work cooperatively within our industry here to provide the best resources, up to date industry information and group lead contacts. This costs money. Tourism is seen as big business throughout California communities and we are not alone in our pursuit of travelers, We compete against major contender~ in the tourism industry.

DPIE is a community network of organizations, businesses and individuals dedicated to providing resources that improve and enrich the educational experience for all students in the Dublin Unified School District. DPIE has been quite successful in building a significant membership base and providing an impressive number of support activities for the Dublin schools. This year over 100 businesses were represented at our annual lunch at the Monarch Hotel. We also had seven Chief Executive Officers from Dublin and our surrounding communities participate in our annual Principal For A Day. Over 160 students from Wells Middle School, Valley High and Dublin High School participated in our Job Shadow program last year and we are hoping to send 200 students to the workplace this year. Due to our efforts, a pilot program on Conflict Resolution was launched at Frederiksen Elementary School this year. We funded the MARE project that integrates marine science curriculum for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. DPIE also funded the homework hour at Wells Middle School to assist students with a GPA under 2.0. In addition, DPIE funded $2,600 in math equipment for algebra students at Dublin High School. Our adopt-a-class program, which grants wishes for teacher's supplies, has alreadYdispersed over ATTACHMENT 13 $4,000 this year. We are the only adopt-a-class program that has a web-site and. the only one that is still running in Dublin, Livermore and Pleasanton. As you know, Dublin Partners In Education has also taken on the task of coordinating the "Computers For Our Schools" program. This involves a written acknowledgement to all donors, accepting and reviewing all school applications, handling the account for disbursement of matching funds and answering questions from the schools and the commUnity. We are pleased to report that we have dispersed over $84,000 to the school district and individual schools for computer hardware. CURRENT STATUS Du~ to the increase in quantity and quality of programs, it was necessary to hire one part-time assistant who works 15 hours per week for our Executive Director. Since the Executive Director was already responsible for the above programs, fundraising, special events, grant writing, public affairs and administration; the addition and exPansion of our programs necessitated an assistant. We were hoping to get funding for this position through another source, but unfortunately the funding went to other programs. Other traditional funding sources are unavailable to us this year. We were hoping to raise additional money through our fireworks sales, but our net profit was much less than expected. REQUEST FOR FUNDS DPIE has been very fortunate over the past two years in securing funding from the city to help with our programs. Last year the City of Dublin granted $10,000 to DPIE. We would like to see the grant increased to $20,000 for the expanded programs, duties, involvement and hours. We ask for your consideration in joining again in a true partnership to advance our joint school/business/ community efforts. Dublin Partners In Education thanks all of you for your consideration of this proposal. We are here for the educational, student and business community of Dublin. Through our programs and events, we have enhanced the image of our proud city. Please help us continue our work.

President RECEIVED CiTY OF DUBLIN Dear Mr. Ambrose: Roy stUtzman, our Vice-Chancellor for Business Services, relayed your letter of January 20, 2000 to me. The letter indicates that it is necessary to inform you of our interest in receiving funding from the City of Dublin for continued support of the Tri-Valley One- Stop Career Center for 2000-2001. All of us associated with the Tri-Valley One-Stop Career Center appreciated greatly the $10,000 provided by the City of Dublin to help the Center provide job services for job seekers and employers in the Tri-Valley area. And, indeed, we are very hopeful that the City will be able to continue this support for 2000-2001. Let me take a moment to sketch out for you the current status of the Center, both in terms of program, budget and services and then indicate what our plans are for the next fiscal year. In November 1999, the Center encountered an opportunity to move to a site in Pleasanton where we could share facilities with a proprietary training company, the Computer Training Academy, with no rental cost. The move has been completed and the Center is now located at 2174 Rheem Drive in Pleasanton. Under our agreement with the Computer Training Academy, we are not required to pay rent, but we do cover our pro- rata share of utilities, security and custodial costs. As of early February, we have recovered over 90% of our client base at the new location. Services for employers were not seriously impacted by the move to Pleasanton. Currently, we offer a full range of job related services for those in the Tri-Valley region who are looking for new or upgraded employment as well as Tri-Valley employers. Typical services include: workshops on emerging occupations, how to prepare effective resumes and how to do an electronic job search; internet based resume posting and Chabot-Las Positas Community College District BoardofTrustees: Lynn M. Carstensen Alison Lewis Arnulfo Cedillo G~ry R. Craig Isobel F. Dvorsky Chancellor: Ronald A. Kong Donald (Dobie) L. Gelles Barry Schrader ATTACHMENT 14 interviewing; consultation with EDD representatives as well as representatives of eight other organizations and searching labor market information for the region and Bay Area. Employers are increasingly utilizing the Center to post openings, conduct informational workshops and interview potential new employees. Most of our growth in employer contact has been with small businesses where working with the Center is a substantial value. From July 1999 through January, 2000, twenty-three Dublin companies posted openings with the Center and a total of fourteen companies reported that they filled openings as a result of Center related contacts. Approximately 18 individuals secured employment as a result of openings posted by Dublin firms. The funding received for 1999-00 was used in two ways: 1)to help cover the general operating costs of the Center and 2) to cover the cost of a staff member who worked with the Dublin Chamber to encourage Dublin firms to utilize the Center's services and with Dublin firms directly to encourage them to visit the Center and make use of services. In addition to the services noted above, the Center provides substantial resources for Tri- Valley residents who are TANF recipients. Our Welfare-to-Work services link closely with Las Positas College, the Tri-Valley ROP, area Adult Schools and private training providers to transition Welfare-to-Work clients from training to employment with an emphasis on insuring that individuals are able to stay employed and improve career opportunities. We have also connected with the Career Centers at all of the high schools in the region to provide field trips for high school students to visit the Center and learn how to carry out a sUccessful job search. Dublin High School will be visiting the Center in early May and our staff will be doing workshops at the high school and Wells Middle School during the Spring. Our budget projection for 2000-2001 is preliminary at this time, but it looks like our monthly budget will be about $8,000 primarily to cover staff salaries and benefits. Additional budget categories include supplies, utilities, telephone service, equipment repair and replacement and mileage. Currently we receive $10,000 from each of the Tri-Valley Cities and $3,000 from the Tri- Valley Business Council. Our remaining funding comes from the Alameda County Private Industry Council and is intended for our Welfare-to-Work program. We hope to maintain the same revenue level for next year. If we are fortunate to be funded by the City of Dublin again for 2000-2001, the funding would be used in three areas: 1. Basic support of Center operations 2. Increased direct work with Dublin employers 3. Increased School to Career efforts We recognize that the funding available from the City of Dublin to support social and community programs is limited and that there are many quality programs seeking financial support. However, with the expanding economic growth in Dublin, the need for a program that can provide quality job services for local employers is a must. Thanks again to the City of Dublin for our initial funding and thanks for considering our request for 2000-2001 funding in the amount of $10,000. If there are any questions regarding our request or if additional information is needed, please contact me at 373- 5871. Sincerely, Robert J.

The Tri-Valley Classical Philharmonic is dedicated to serving the community of Dublin and the entire tri-valley area as a professional classical music resource. As such, We are working to provide a brass ensemble for the gala opening of the Regal Imax Theatre on May 2nd and have contributed tickets regularly for City-sponsored fund raising events. It has long been our goal to provide enrichment resources to the music education program in Dublin schools. Our conversations with local school teachers indicate that it is a welcome and much-needed partnership. Thank you for your consideration of this request. If there's anything else we can provide for you, please don't hesitate to let me know. Sincerely, Lawrence Kohl Music Director ATTACHMENT 16 A proposal by the Tri-Valley Classical Philharmonic to provide a Music Enrichment Program in Dublin schools THE NEED The place of music in the framework of education has been a subject of discussion for thousands of years. The ancient Greek philosoPher Aristotle believed that music should both educate and entertain the individual. During the Middle Ages in the Western world, music was the equal of mathematics and astronomy in medieval curriculum. In the early nineteenth century Lowell Mason wrote: "music is a sure means of improving the affections; and ennobling, purifying, and evaluating the whole man." In the early twentieth century in the United States, music was included in the curriculum to develop citizenry and responsibility. Today, music is still valued as an integral part of society and of educational curriculum and is considered to have a beneficial effect on students' ability to learn, to problem-solve, and to master self-confidence and esteem. However, with school programs having to compete for financial support, it is often music and other arts programs that are cut from the curriculum. Many schools have realized that when they partner with non-profit performing arts organizations to provide their students with music education, everyone benefits. Cities around the country are rallying around this concept - a perfect synthesis of combined community efforts. The Tri- Valley Classical Philharmonic proposes such a music education Partnership with the City of Dublin's school district. ORGANIZATIONAL BACKGROUND Eleven years after our inception in 1989, the Tri-Valley Classical Philharmonic has become the stable, professional chamber orchestra for the entire Bay Area. We've won commendations for our performances throughout San Francisco and the East Bay and have been positively reviewed by San Francisco Chronicle music critic Joshua Kosman, as a "chamber ensemble that muster(s) a full-scale sound and the musical conviction to go with it." Consistently recognized for artistic excellence, the Tri-Valley Classical Philharmonic enhances the quality of life for the community at large, providing continuing opportunities for audiences to learn and appreciate classical music. Maestro Kohl's innovative programming includes works from classiCal to contemporary genres highlighting composers and artists of many cultures. Programs are designed to entertain, uplift, inspire and educate. EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS The Tri-Valley Classical Philharmonic has been bringing "Concerts for Kids" to schoolchildren in the Bay Area since 1990. "Concerts for Kids" is an introduction to the classical music concert. It is designed for presentation to third through fifth grade students who are just at the age to begin in-school music programs. Excerpted from our regular concert programs and featuring internationally known soloists, it is a thrilling experience, inspiring them to pursue further study and appreciation of music. "Concerts for Kids" provides students with the opportUnity to experience a masterful musical Performance as well as to interact with the musicians, learning the difference in sounds made by the instruments and how they all come together to create mood and music. Soloists and compositions highlighted in the concerts represent distinct styles and varying cultures. Recent soloists have included professional musicians from 'France, Germany and Mexico. Supplementary materials are provided to teachers before the concert for in-class use, exploring the relevant and related themes of history, geography, and culture. In addition, we have also provided chamber groups to individual schools as well as master classes and clinics for students already in music programs. PROPOSED PROJECT The Tri-Valley Classical Philharmonic proposes to provide the schools of Dublin with a comprehensive music education programs that expose students to classical music and gives them recurring opportunities to learn and re-experience music through listening and participation. We propose to work with the City of Dublin School District in presenting classroom assemblies to small groups of students for a more "hands-on" experience with classical music - tailored specifically to each age group. We further propose to work with individual music teachers in providing clinics and master classes for their students, and to provide our "Concerts for Kids" City of Dublin/Tri-Valley Classical Philharmonic program with accompanying guidebooks for use by teachers and students in the classroom. -Initial conversations between the Tri-Valley Classical Philharmonic and Dublin teachers indicate a strong need for our proposed program, with a desire for .an educational partnership between Tri-Valley Classical Philharmonic and Dublin music teachers We are requesting $10,000 in support for this program with.initial planning'to begin in July. and programs to be in place with the beginning of the 2000/2001 school year. Updated progress reports and on-going evaluation by teachers and students can be provided to the council at regular intervals.

The lineup didn't look all that scintillating on paper, but a few electrifying performances helped reward intrepid concertgoers. For a season that promises Shostakovich, Revueltas and Chausson down the road, Kohl's opening program could hardly have been more chestnut-laden. He opened with Handel's "Royal Fireworks Music" and Bach's Third Brandenburg Concerto, then devoted the second half to Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" with concertmaster William T. Barbini as the violin soloist. But for much of the evening, the vividness of the playing belied the timidity of the programming. This was a chamber ensemble that mustered a full-scale sound and the musical conviction to go with it. The most impressive showing came right at the start with a brisk and splendidly tuned account of the "Fireworks Music." With an excellent complement of brass players leading the way, the ensemble under Kohl's avid direction gave this music just the right blend of public rhetoric and intimate delicacy. Bach fared almost as well, despite some hesitancy at most of the major section breaks. Instead of grouping the three violins, three violas and three cellos together in self-contained sections, Kohl cannily dispersed them around the stage, deploying one of each instrument in three trios. The result was an appealingly transparent texture in which Bach's counterpoint rang out all the more clearly. For the slow movement, which constitutes only two measures in the score and needs to be fleshed out by the performers, there was a lovely and apparently improvised fantasia by harpsichordist Susan Harvey. "The Four Seasons" turned out to be a relatively hit-or-miss affair. After opting for engagingly brisk tempos during the first half, Kohl allowed a number of these concertos to drag, and even at that Barbini was occasionally hard pressed to keep up. The sequence got off to an agreeable start with the concerto titled" Spring," then lapsed into the summer and autumn doldrums with performances that were capable but rarely gripping. The concluding "Winter," however, was first rate, ferocious and evocative in the first movement and elegantly shaped in the central Largo.

The City's participation and support of EDAB has been important to our continued efforts to improve the business climate and quality of life in the East Bay region. During the past year the City has benefited by our increased promotional efforts to attract investment and business to the Tri-Valley region. Similarly our sponsoring of independent studies assessing the economic impact of regional residential growth control initiatives was considered important to assist the community's evaluation of the cumulative consequences of the proposed restrictions. More recently we have been asked by the Inter-Regional Partnership to develop programs to promote coordination of economic development efforts across the five Parmership Counties. EDAB was active this past year in involving business in the development of the transportation improvement plan for the County and conducted focused groups to insUre the Valley was given the oppommity to express their priorities for needed transportation improvements. EDAB also continues to encourage business involvement in our K, 12 educational system and is a sponsor of the extremely successful annual Tri-Valley Science Fair. EDAB's 1998/99 Annual Report, proposed 2000/01 budget and other reference material are enclosed.

This study was sponsored by the Economic Development Alliance for Business (EDAB), the City of Oakland and the Contra County Economic Parmership because of the growing global and regional importance of the telecommunications industry. The East Bay's telecom industry employs nearly 30,000 people in over 400 firms located in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. These are relatively high paying jobs that support 145,000 additional jobs. East Bay telecom firms are a diverse and balanced representation of a global industry that is having a profound imphct on our daily lives. The constant flow of new telecom products and services is fueling our appetite for being "connected" to "anyone, anywhere, anytime." The study was performed by The Compass Group and was based on the "industry cluster economics" theories developed by Dr. Michael Porter at the Harvard Business School. Data collection included a detailed review of prior studies, the creation of a customized demographic database, three regional employer focus groups, and input from site selection and telecom recruiting specialists. What is the East Bay Telecom Industry? There are three East Bay geographic concentrations of telecom firms: · Tri Valley/680 corridor's service providers · Fremont/880 corridor's equipment manufacturers · Oakland/880 corridor's eclectic combination of large and small, service and product finns The economic and competitive strengths of each of these sub-regions provide essential and inter- related components of the Bay Areats high-tech economy: · The Tri Valley/680 service providers are where they are because of their proximity to Bay Area customers and the historically ideal balance of facility and labor market costs they enjoy; · Fremont's equipment finns are there because of their proximity to the high concentration of computer and electronic equipment finns of the Silicon Valley and the venture capital firms on the Peninsula; while · Oakland provides a big city and telecom-15iendly environment with excellent public transportation systems. While Alameda and Contra Costa Counties have significant economic resources within their boundaries, the unique competitive strength of East Bay telecom firms is tied to the complex network of personal interactions with the rich economic resources of the total Bay Area. Key Retention and Attraction Issues The results of three telecom employer focus groups are reported in the table below. The widest gaps are a reflection of the pressure industry growth is putting on labor markets, local governments and the transportation infrastructure. Telecommunications Study Executive Summary Page 1 Location Factor Importance* Satisfaction* Gap Labor Availability & Costs 4.6 2.2 -2.4 Taxes/Regulatory Environment 3.8 2.5 -1.3 Hard Infrastructure 3.9 2.7 - 1.2 Real Estate Costs 3.4 2.5 -0.9 Quality of Life 4.2 3.5 -0.7 Accessibility 3.8 3.4 -0.4 Local Resources 3.8 3.7 -0.1 Site Factors 3.1 3.5 +0.4 Ranking based on 1 to 5 scale (1--very low, 5=very high) Notwithstanding the above data, the East Bay, with its proximity to greater San Francisco Bay Area, is a highly desirable location for telecom firms of all types and sizes, especially when compared to other national locations. This position of national leadership offers promise for the growth of East Bay communities, but it must be consciously nurtured. Strategies for Retention and Attraction "First Priority" economic development issues for the East Bay telecom industry based on the foregoing "gap" analyses are: (1) labor availability and costs, (2) taxes and the regulatory environment, and (3) hard infrastructure (especially transportation). In developing effective strategies, several conditions must be satisfied: · One Size Does Not Fit All. Large "anchor tenant" firms have different economic needs than smaller firms; there must be mechanisms for identifying these differences, assessing their impacts (regional cost/benefit analyses), and designing solutions for both audiences. In theory, this requires a complex real-time dialogue between all stakeholders. Innovation will be required to deal with this because there are ready solutions or precedents. · Vehicles for Collaboration are Not Well Known Among Telecom Employers. Sixty-five telecom firms were contacted about focus group participation for this study and 90% of them were unaware of EDAB, sister agencies, and the benefit to them of economic development. Recommendations to Respond to These Opportunities and Challenges The following is a summary and partial listing of the recommendations made in the study. Organize an "East Bay TelEcom Network" to Address Industry Development Issues in Real-time It is necessary to create a vehicle to bring together public and private telecom industry interests. Since the telecom industry moves at "web-speed," public sector efforts to support them must adopt the same standards of interaction and performance. The "Telecom Network" could be an innovative web-based focal point for government/employer/educator collaboration in identifying economic development needs, solutions, participation requirements, etc. It could address individual company needs as well as aggregate requirements. It could also be a standing answer to: · "Who is EDAB (and other economic development orgs) and what could they do for me?" · "What are the demographics of the East Bay Telecom Industry?" · "What's going on with such-and-such a program I just heard about?" · "Is there anyone who can help me with XXX? ....who can I contact?" 2. Develop a Strategy for Growing the East Bay's Telecom Industry · Determine size and type of companies East Bay telecom cluster wants to attract, develop a strategy to determine number and type of large "anchor" firms and a marketing plan to target Telecommunications Study Executive Summary Page 2 e these firms. Since over 80 percent of the cluster's growth usually comes from "home- grown" firms, not from "transplanted" firms, the strategy should also address measures to retain firms of all sizes: Strengthen the~East Bay Telecom Workforce Increase the local labor force through the better utilization of several large labor pools: Inform, prepare, provide classes and attract the interest of kigh school students; · Develop marketing programs with schools and employers and present forums and panel discussions to target community; · Solicit funds from telecom firms to provide scholarships and financial assistance for students enrolled in high-demand majors, offer more telecom certification programs through adult education centers, develop streamlined skill and certification standards and special curriculum, and identify and invite more vocational training centers to the East Bay; · Establish mentor, internship and co-op programs, compile, publish, and update a list of the vocational centers and community colleges and the courses they offer, sponsor events that bring employers, educators, recent graduates and students together, conduct and disseminate research on best employer/mining center collaboration practices · Determine East Bay telecom industry requirements for BS, MS, and Ph.D. electrical engineers and other majors over the next 5 years and if demand exceeds supply and it is appropriate, address issues/opportunities to increase migration to the Bay Area. · Encourage telecom finns to sponsor projects at TELCOT at Cai State at Hayward, subsidize work/study and in.temship programs, sponsor job fairs and other events to introduce employers and students to each other and provide/publicize website for employers to post job openings and for applicants to post resumes; and · Publish a listing of recruiting firms that specialize in telecom placements, and streamline and assist with process for employers to receive Federal funds for retraining workers. 4. Reduce Traffic Congestion The second most important challenge to telecom employers is the traffic congestion during rush hour. Actions to reduce traffic snarls include: · Cooperate with established Bay Area organizations that understand traffic patterns and are working to reduce congestion. · 'Respond to telecom employers' specific requests such as subsidized shuttles from Fremont BART station to employer sites. · Survey the extent, success of, and future plans for remote commuting facilities set up by Silicon Valley companies. If appropriate, develop plan to promote more remote facilities in San Ramon area to reduce area-wide, traffic congestion. Promote Favorable Government Attitude The third most important factor to telecom employers is being located in an area in which local government has a favorable attitude toward business. Actions to promote employers' perception that government agencies are responsive include: · Establish a East Bay telecom incubator (already in progress) in San Ramon, offer fast track permit and inspection process, follow-up with new telecom businesses, invite them to industry events, inform them of resources and pair with a sponsor. · Assist in locating suitable larger quarters when firm outgrows current location, help East Bay firms to gain a larger share of Bay Area venture capital, lure high-profile national research consortium to the East Bay, influence regulatory bodies to adopt favorable policies toward telecom businesses and assist key government organizations to become sopl-fisticated buyers and beta testers of telecom products and services.
