Report and advised that, in April 2009, the City Council introduced and adopted an ordinance "Temporarily Suspending the Public Art Requirement for Residential Projects in excess of 20 units" for a two-year term, which expires in May 2011. Staff was directed by the City Council to review the state of residential development in the City towards the end of the two year suspension, in order to make a recommendation to possibly extend the suspension for an additional period of time. Given the fact that the economic downturn was continuing to affect Dublin, Staff was recommending that the current ordinance suspending the public art requirement for residential projects be extended for two more years.

On motion of Mayor Sbranti, seconded by Cm. Biddle and by a majority vote (Vm. Hart and Cm. Hildenbrand voting no), the City Council waived the reading and introduced an Ordinance Temporarily Suspending the Provisions of Sections 8.58.050.A and 8.58.050.D of the Dublin Municipal Code Relating to Public Art Contribution Requirements for Residential Projects in Excess of 20 Units, with the change for the duration of one year as opposed to two years. ~,i Weeds and Combustible Refuse Abatement Order 8:04:49 PM 6.2 (540-50) Mayor Sbranti opened the public hearing.

Replacement of Dav on the Glen Festival 8:33:~09 PM 8.2 (950-40) Heritage and Cultural Arts Manager John Hartnett presented the Staff Report and advised that Staff would be presenting a report on the results of a community survey conducted in November, 2010 which suggested that the community supported conducting a second festival in Dublin. Based on the survey, Staff was recommending offering a second festival starting in fall 2012 that would incorporate some of the popular elements of Day on the Glen, yet have a new theme and features (OctoberFest/German culture influence or Blues Festival). Cm. Swalwell stated he was not in favor of either proposed event, and would recommend a pasta and wine festival. He stated that a holiday themed event would be more receptive to the community. Mayor Sbranti stated that he was not fond of the barbecue/Blues Festival event occurring at ' Emerald Glen Park. However, he felt this type of event would be better received at the Heritage Park. He stated the OctoberFest appeared to have its own challenge due to similar events already occurring in the Bay Area causing competition. Mayor Sbranti suggested a pasta and wine festival with an arts element event or a multi-cultural international bazaar festival. Cm. Hildenbrand stated that, if she had to pick from the two events presented, she would choose the barbecue/Blues Festival type of event especially with at cook-off element to engage the community. She would be receptive to a location change and added that scheduling the proposed event during soccer season could impact attendance, and was not opposed to the pasta and wine type of festival but felt the barbecue/blues festival would provide greater mass appeal.

Hart stated he would prefer to push this back to the Parks and Community Services Commission to come up with more ideas but did state his preference would be to relocate to the Heritage Park to showcase to the community and not exclude Fallon Sports Park. Marketing, location, and entertainment would determine the success of any event. Cm. Biddle stated the international bazaar could encompass just about all of the ideas mentioned, and that the Parks and Community Services Commission could include this in their report. City Manager Pattillo clarified that the Staff report presented was a result of the Parks and Community Services Commission discussion and if the direction was to change the venue completely from what was presented, then clear direction would be required. Cm. Swalwell suggested Staff and the Parks and Community Services Commission bring back a report to include pasta, wine and music elements as well as the bocce ball court to add interest to the event, and discuss further. Parks and Community Services Director Diane Lowart stated that when the report was brought back to the City Council with the noted suggestions, there would also be a report of the grand opening of the Heritage Park and Museum line-up of Saturday events that could include many of the ideas mentioned.

Vm. Hart asked for more detail regarding the give away of tickets by the Breeze Team. Ms. Lowart stated the give away of tickets had been in generalities. The City planned to work with the community to give free tickets. At this point the team was not particularly interested in making money. They were interested in bringing people to the games. In terms of having the team involved in the community, they spoke of perhaps holding clinics. Vm. Hart asked how Staff envisioned defining what the benefits would be to the community, if approved .by the City Council. Ms. Lowart stated, if it was the desire of the City Council, Staff would recommend, at the end of their season, an evaluation of the value of what they did and if in fact, it was equal to the lost revenue to the City. Cm. Swalwell stated he was comfortable with giving the team a little bit of leeway and evaluating the tradeoff at the end of the season. Cm. Biddle suggested doing it for a year since the team was just forming and the relationship with the City was being developed and evaluating it in a year. Mayor Sbranti stated the City Council and the community would be very pleased with what that team was going to do. He was fine with reviewing it at the end of the season. The team was trying to get itself organized. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 5 VOLUME 30 ,,~oFOr,~ REGULAR MEETING ni ~ ~~~ APRIL 19, 2011 '~~~~~~ GwrnR~`° DRAFT ~~ a~ ~ Cm. Hildenbrand stated she wanted to encourage the team to stay in Dublin. She did not want to do anything that would have the team looking for other facilities elsewhere. Mayor Sbranti stated it could be looked at as lost revenue if others wanted to use the field at the same time, but the times were usually not in use. Vm. Hart stated that the City should have an agreement with the team because it was a dollar amount for the City. There should be some agreement, in writing, that said the City would waive the higher fee in exchange for something. City Manager Pattillo clarified that it was the City Council's direction to approve this request from April 18 - July 29, 2011. It was also City Council direction to have Staff meet with team to discuss milestones. She saw this as two step processes. The first being some discussion or dialogue about what this looked like, and then prepare a summary at the end of the season with a report to the City Council in August or September. Vm. Hart stated, as a public entity, he did not believe that having a gentlemen's agreement was the right thing to do. He wanted a document that stated in lieu of these fees, the team agreed to specific items. On motion of Mayor Sbranti, seconded by Cm. Swalwell and by unanimous vote, the City Council approved the request to reclassify the Breeze Soccer Team from a Group 4b (Individuals _ or Other Groups, Non-Resident) to a Group 2b (Dublin Sports League Organizations, Adult Sports League Organizations) and directed Staff to meet with the applicant to work on an agreement for the balance of the season, and for Staff to follow-up at the end of the season with a re~port to the City Council. ~ PUBLIC HEARINGS Adoption of a Resolution Approving the Tri-Valley Transportation Council Strategic Expenditure Plan 2011 Update and an Increase to the Tri-Vallev Transportation Development Fee 7:36:08 PM 6.1 (590-80/600-40) Mayor Sbranti opened the public hearing. Public Works Director Gary Huisingh presented the Staff Report and advised that in 2008, the Tri-Valley Transportation Council (TVTC) completed a Fee Nexus Study Update and developed ~ new Tri-Valley Transportation Development (TVTD) Fee amounts for member agency consideration. The Dublin City Council adopted a Resolution in 2008 approving the proposed new fee increases, which would have gone into effect on July 1, 2010, across all land use categories. The Resolution was later rescinded because not all seven TVTC member agencies DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 6 VOLUME 30 ~OFDp~ REGULAR MEETING a;~,C~r,~~~ APRIL 19, 2011 `\ ~ ~ Gc, R~'s DRAFT ~1 ~3 ~ approved the fee increases. TVTC has since developed an update to the Strategic Expenditure Plan that identifies fee allocations to specific transportation improvement projects and is reconsidering a fee increase to be enacted on January 1, 2012. No testimony was received by any member of the public relative to this issue. Mayor Sbranti closed the public hearing. Vm. Hart stated that essentially there had been an issue with getting the approval of all seven agencies on issues. Mayor Sbranti stated, with the original Strategic Expenditure Plan, Pleasanton would not approve it and it was worked on for befinreen a year and a half and finro years. After that, the issue of the fee came up. There was concern voiced by both Dublin and Livermore which resulted in a 5-2 vote but was agreed upon after discussion and revisions. Therefore, the next issue was how to get items approved if there was not unanirimous approval. The compromise was that an item could be approved with a minimum of 6-1 vote, which was before the City Council tonight. He asked that the City Council support the fee and Strategic Expenditure Plan as presented. Vm. Hart asked for clarification on the fee increase. Mr. Huisingh stated Table 1 in the Staff Report showed the proposed increase. Mayor Sbranti stated it had been eight years since a fee increase. Vm. Hart stated he was not comfortable right now raising fees, but he would support the item conceptually. ~ Mayor Sbranti stated the fee could be a lot higher. Cm. Hildenbrand stated she supported the finro portions of this item. Cm. Swalwell stated he agreed with both portions of this item also. Cm. Biddle stated he also agreed with both portions of this item. Vm. Hart stated he was very supportive of the change to the JEPA regarding approval of items with a 6-1 vote. He was not supportive of the percentage of the fee increase. By consensus, the City Council voted on the proposed resolution with two votes: On motion of Cm. Swalwell, seconded by Cm. Hildenbrand and by unanimous vote, the City Council adopted the portion of Resolution No. 42-11 regarding Approving the 2011 Strategic DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 7 VOLUME 30 REGULAR MEETING G`,~y0F~U8~y a' ~ ~~ APRIL 19, 2011 ~ ~ ~\ ~ ~~ ~4GIFpR~~ DRAFT l~ a~ ~ Expenditure Plan Update Pursuant to the Requirements of the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement.
