FINANCIAL STATEMENT: See discussion below
DESCRIPTION: The City's Five Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is
developed for the purpose of identifying future capital facility needs and resources available to meet those
needs. For Fiscal Year 2011-2012, an update to the 2010-2015 CIP has been prepared.
The Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission is requested to review the proposed CIP for input regarding
the heritage and cultural arts projects included in the program. The recommendations of the Commission
will be presented to the City Council at the Budget Hearing on June 21, 2011.
Projects included in the CIP are presented in four categories: General Improvements, Community
Improvements, Parks and Streets. The proposed projects for review by the Heritage and Cultural Arts
Commission fall under two categories, Community Improvements and Parks. The CIP funding reflects a
combination of City resources, State and Federal Grant Funds and development impact fees. The funding
source for the identified heritage and cultural arts projects is from the City's General Fund and the Public
Art Fund.
The heritage and cultural arts projects recommended by Staff for inclusion in the CIP reflects the City's
priorities with respect to preserving Dublin's history as well as enhancing community spaces and facilities
for Dublin residents. Priorities were determined based on the need for the project and the availability of
funding for the project.

PROJECTS COMPLETED DURING FISCAL YEAR 2010-2011
During Fiscal Year 2010-2011 the following heritage and cultural arts project was completed:
Dublin Heritage Park and Museums
This project provides for the development of the Dublin Heritage Park and Museums located at the corner
of Dublin Boulevard and Donlon Way.
Work undertaken as part of this project included: Dublin Historic Park Master Plan (Fiscal Year 2006-
2007); Dublin Historic Park Master Plan Addendum (Fiscal Year 2007-2008); demolition of the Dublin
Square Shopping Center (Fiscal Year 2008-2009); and construction of Phase I improvements which
included relocation of the Kolb Ranch structures and landscape improvements (completed in March 2011
- $5,649,598). During Fiscal Year 2007-2008 the City Council designated General Fund Reserves in the
amount of $3.18 million for this project.
PROJECTS INCLUDED IN THE PROPOSED FIVE-YEAR CIP, 2010-2015
Transit Center Art
This project provides for the placement of public art at the Dublin Transit Center, at the Iron Horse
(BART) Plaza.
In Fiscal Year 2009-2010 artist Cliff Garten was selected to provide a conceptual design for the artwork.
The design was approved by the City Council in September 2010. Fabrication of the artwork is underway
and installation will be complete in Fiscal Year 2011-2012.
The Alameda County Surplus Authority has contributed $250,000 for the project.
FUTURE PROJECTS
There are two additional projects that are outside the timeframe of the CIP as described below.
Cultural Arts Center
This project provides for the construction of a 16,000 square foot Cultural Arts Center at a location yet to
be determined.
The Parks and Recreation Master Plan identifies as a desirable facility a 16,000 square foot Cultural Arts
Center that would serve as a multi-use facility that affords cultural, educational and social opportunities
for the community. The estimated cost :is $9,854,092.
It is recommended that this project be re-evaluated during Fiscal Year 2011-2012 once the structures from
the Kolb Ranch are in use at the Dublin Heritage Park and Museums. These include: the 1,350 square
foot Sunday School Barn to serve as a multi-use classroom and black box theater; the 2,500 square foot
Main House to serve as a museum, gallery and classroom; and the 300 square foot Old House to serve as
a restroom and ceramic studio.
Dublin Heritage Park And Museums
This project provides for the design and construction of the Dublin Heritage Park and Museums located at
the corner of Dublin Boulevard and Donlon Way.
Four additional phases are planned for the Dublin Heritage Park and Museums.
Phase 2 - Orchard Garden ($3,903,490) Phase 4 - Cemetery Expansion ($2,434,300)
2of3
Phase 3 - Freshwater Corner ($1,848,460) Phase 5 - Cemetery Improvements ($1,061,300)
$1.5 million in funding for future phases of the project will be contributed by the developer of the
Schaefer Ranch project but the timing of the contribution is undetermined at this time due to a slowdown
in the project.
