ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Dial-A-Ride Ms. Beverly Pierce, one of the Dial-A-Ride drivers expressed concern re letter sent by the Community Center in Danville, which stated that the services would be cut by one-half almost, even though it was known that there would probably be some cut in service during the next fiscal year, but only 25% cut in service. Ms. Pierce was concerned that they are indicating service to be only 3 days per week, and many of the patrons need the service at least 5 days per week. , some for employment (handicapped persons) and also some senior citizens who need to get to medical services daily. A raise in fares had been expected also, which was agreeable if the service could remain in effect. Meetings are scheduled for various areas regarding this proposal , for the Dublin area the meeting will be Wednesday, June 23, and it was suggested that a representative be present from the Council . City Manager Ambrose reminded the Council that at a prior meeting the individual 3 { who coordinates this program between Alameda Co. and Contra Costa Co. had made a presentation to the Council which was to have the same level of service for CM-1-87 5 0 0 a the first quarter of 1982-83, with the commitment that the City would evaluate the revenue shortfall that was anticipated, as a policy matter at the time the City looked at the budget for the coming fiscal year.. If the City is unable to come up with the funds, or MTC is not able to provide additional funds, then the service would be cut back the end of September as opposed to July 1. That was the arrangement made. Mr. Ambrose indicated he would contact the County to see what the problem seems to be, and was so directed by the Council . * * * * COMMUNITY GUIDE Participation by the City in the printing of a community guide had been discussed at a prior meeting, and is brought back for further discussion. The directory will be printed and distributed by the Chamber of Commerce. A motion was made by Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. Burton, that the City participate in a one page, color insertion, at a cost of $900. Further discussion was held re the fact that this is a commemorative issue, it does indicate support of the business community. Also discussed was the fact that the City would be listed in the guide in any case, however, if the City participates some control can be exercised over what the content lists. Part of the information to be listed will be facts re the City offices , where the various services will be available, truly a directory for the citizens. An aerial photo might be used. At the close of discussion the motion passed by the following vote: Ayes : Cm. Burton, Hegarty, Moffatt and.Mayor Snyder; Noes: Cm.

Jeffery, the council voted unanimously to waive the reading and adopt the Ordinance as follows: ORDINANCE NO. 18 CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN * * * * STREET SWEEPING BID City Manager Ambrose explained that as a part of the negotiations with the County street sweeping was discussed. Several contracts have been had with private companies that have indicated that the cost of providing this service through a private source could be considerably less than the County's cost. Mr. Ambrose is asking the Council to solicit bids or proposals for street sweeping services for fiscal year 1982-83. The County will provide the service in an interim period, should the City decide after the commencement of the fiscal year to provide the service, with payment prorated. L CM-1-88 4:1 On motion of Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Jeffery, the Council voted unanimously to authorize the City Manager to proceed to solicit bids for street sweeping. Also discussed were the sweeping of medians; the schedule for sweeping and notifying of residents; not sweeping on inclement days to be at the discretion of the City Manager; make-up days should such be needed for down days, or holidays; disposal of the sweepings , not to use the dump on San Ramon Rd. * * * * • LIGHTING DISTRICT The City has been within a street light assessment (County Service Area SL-1970-1) for some time. Upon incorporation the City was automatically excluded from the District, and must now provide the service. If the City wishes to be . reannexed to the service area a request must be submitted shortly. Some alternatives to reannexation are to provide the lighting paid for by the City by direct assumption of the street lighting costs; from a City street lighting assessment district which could be costly and probably .there is not enough time to do so for this year. If the City decides to request re- annexation, a request must be made to LAFCO, and the matter processed through so that the costs be added to the assessment roll for the fiscal year 1982-83. II Some concern was also expressed if the large commercial properties are paying their fair share, they may not be. Also discussed was the up-grading of street lighting, it is not known if any new installations are planned; is it possible to be re-annexed, remain so for the next fiscal year, then to withdraw, C and the answer was yes, we can withdraw. As far as additional lighting, it is not known whether or not additions are planned, however, if annexation takes place it was indicated that the City would be consulted. The City will be paying directly for traffic lights, these are not within the service district. Discussion was also held regarding if monies had been set aside for new lights Dublin should be able to obtain that portion as our share which had been set aside for that purpose. At the close of discussion, on motion of Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Hegarty, and by the following called vote the following resolution was adopted: Ayes: Cm. Burton, Hegarty and Mayor Snyder; Noes: Cm. Jeffery and Moffatt: Absent: None RESOLUTION NO. 29-82 A RESOLUTION APPLYING FOR ANNEXATION TO ALAMEDA COUNTY SERVICE AREA NO. SL-1970-1 FOR STREET LIGHTING * * * * EIR - ROUTE 580 The County Public' Works Agency is recommending that their Board approve and support Alternative C in the subject report, which provides for 8 mixed flow lanes of travel and is the only alternative that would provide unrestricted freeway access and travel for Dublin motorists. Since the City had asked the County to review the Draft EIS on the City's behalf, it is suggested that the City Council also support Alternative C. CM-1-89 On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Moffatt, the Council voted . unanimously to accept. Alternative C and so inform CALTRANS. OTHER BUSINESS C Cm. Burton reminded the Council re Dublin Day at the Alameda County Fair which will be July 1, the Mayor should be there to present flowers to the winning jockey at the Dublin race. If the Council wishes, the cost for flowers can be shared with the Chamber. On motion of Cm. Hegarty, seconded by Mayor Snyder, the $25 was approved for expenditure by unanimous vote. Cm. Burton also expressed concern that there is no taxi business in Dublin, nothing available to use if the need arises , and asked if the Council would explore the possibility of providing this service, to encourage a private business. Mr. Ambrose stated that a letter had been received from such an operator, the matter was being investigated and a report will be made later. Cm. Hegarty expressed concern re trucks hauling dirt from a quarry onto San Ramon every three minutes, this seems to be an excessive use, it will tear the road up. Cm. Hegarty thought use of the freeways for a portion on the run should be feasible. The staff was requested to investigate the matter and report back, possibly call the operator of the quarry for information. City Manager Ambrose indicated that the budget will be considered at the meeting of June 28th; final contract negotiations reports will also be made soon, there are still some answers which the County needs to give us re animal control services; some other services have items which are not resolved also, including the police services, an on-site service or a remote service. It Was suggested that a meeting be held in the interim if possible, wherein those departments which are affected could also be present. * * * * There being no further business to come before the meeting it was recessed to Thursday June 24, 1982 at 7:30 p.m. APPROVED Mayor • ATTEST City Clerk * * * * CM-1-90
