Request from Bay Area Breeze
Professional Women's Soccer Club to use Fallon Sports Park
Director of Parks and Community Services Diane Lowart presented the Staff Report and
advised that the City Council would consider a request from the Bay Area Breeze Professional
Women's Soccer Club for use of the Fallon Sports Park at a reduced rate.
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. fn 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.
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 finro 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 report 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 (MD) 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 MC member agencies
approved the fee increases. TVTC has since developed an update to the Strategic Expenditure
Pfan 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 two 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 unanimous 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 two 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 finro 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
Expenditure Plan Update Pursuant to the Requirements of the Joint Exercise of Powers
Agreement.
On motion of Cm. Hildenbrand, seconded by Cm. Biddle and by majority vote (Cm. Hart voting
no), the City Council adopted the portion of Resolution No. 42-11 Amending the Tri-Valley
Transportation Development (TVTD) Fee Schedule.
and directed the City of Dublin's TVTC representative to approve the proposed modification to
the MC Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement that would allow amendments to the MD Fee
