Association. She indicated this was the 14th year a delegation from Ireland has come to Dublin,
California. The Sister City Association had been formed to help foster friendship and greater economic

STATUS REPORT ON-2000-01 GOALS &OBJECTIVES AND -
DEVELOPMENT OF 2001-02 GOALS &OBJECTIVES
6:22 p.m. 8.1 (0100-80)
Mayor Houston explained the process for the evening meeting and requested anyone present who
wished to address specific items related to the Goals &Objectives meeting would be allowed to address
the Council at this time. -
Mary Lou Bielke, 7516 Burnham Way, Dublin,indicated she was a member of the Dublin Senior
Center Advisory Committee. She thanked the Council for their support for the 15 passenger van
objective. More seniors would be able to participate in the programs.
Barbara Gifford,8088 Tamarack Dr,Dublin,wanted to address the new senior center. They had
visited eight different senior centers in the area. They had gone with an open mind. Some of the
structures were new and others were older buildings that had been renovated. Some of the kitchens
were full staffed and others had food brought in. She hoped the Council would include them when it
came time to make their plans.
Burr Cain, 7460 Oxford Circle,Dublin,indicated he was a new member of the Senior Center Advisory
Committee. He stated that Chevron in San Ramon was a major supporter of the San Ramon Senior
Center. He wondered if Shamrock Ford or other major businesses in Dublin might become a supporter
of the Dublin Seniors. He would like the Mayor to make the initial contact. In regard to the senior
center relocation,he understood that the center had been established in 1989 using the rental facility.
Bonnie Leonard was the first Senior Center Coordinator and now the Senior Center Coordinator is
Anna Hudson.- This was going to be a major step. They were anxious to help in the process. Senior
Citizen Housing had been included at the same site as the Senior Center,but it was later determined •
that was not possible. He would also like to see alternative funding for more computer programs. He
announced that Bob Cocilova who has been a shaker and a mover for the seniors is moving on.
Lisa Dial,Dublin resident,urged the Council to definitely consider a dog park. Cities to the north,
south,and east of us have dog parks. She attends one of them and sees other Dublin residents with
their dogs. The new homes do not have the large yards. •She felt the park at Stagecoach and Amador
Valley could be very useful.
Lawrence Kohl,Tri-Valley Classical Philharmonic,indicated his group had performed at the opening of
the IMAX Theater. He wanted to create a program for the Dublin schools and would be holding two
children's concerts on March 29th, one at 9:20 a.m. and one at 10:45 a.m. at Wells Schools. They
would be teaching the basic concepts of music with the theme being rhythm. Music builds confidence

- in children. Some of their long range goals was creating a Tri-Valley Youth Orchestra,having "Sunday
' at the Pops", and performing at the future Performing Arts Center.
Mayor Houston asked how long they have been in existence?
Mr. Kohl responded 12 years total with nine years in the Valley.
Cm. Zika asked what the City would be getting for the $10,000 request?
Mr. Kohl responded they would be working with the students and performing two concerts at Wells
School. They would be creating as they go along and would need to set-up the infrastructure.
Cm. Zika felt it was a great idea,but he also liked structure.
Mr. Kohl indicated the City would be providing the seed funding to get the program up and running.
With the City investment,they could go to others in the community and get more support.
Vice Mayor Lockhart expressed her concern that there was nothing from the Dublin Unified School
District supporting this proposal. If it has not gone through the School Board, she was curious to know
why it had not gone to the School Board.
Mr. Kohl responded that he was instructed to go through Sandy Hare,Director of Educational Services
for Dublin Unified School District.
Vice Mayor Lockhart indicated she did not want to step on the toes of the School District and felt there
needed to be some coordination with the School Board.
Cm. McCormick stated she was unclear. Was he asking for $10,000 to put on two concerts?
Mr. Kohl indicated there would also be master classes and they would work with the music teachers.
Cm. McCormick asked how many hours were involved?
Mr. Kohl responded he would coordinate with the music teachers and would be working where they
most needed help.
Cm. McCormick asked how he had created his budget?
Mr. Kohl responded it was based on experience with other districts. Pleasanton paid $8,300 and
Hayward paid $8,000.
Cm. Zika asked why Dublin would pay $10,000? What does it get us? He felt the City was paying
$10,000 for two one-hour concerts at Wells School.
Mayor Houston indicated the City could do as much or as less as we wanted.
Cm. Oravetz indicated he was all for it,but there was a money problem. He should go to the School
Board and outline details of a budget.

Richard Guarient of Rhoda Avenue stated it'would be nice to have the money to do all of the objectives.
He had three passions. The first was Parks &Recreation activities. There have been great strides this -,
last year with the addition of the new park. In regard to open space,keep it on the plate. He was
excited about Iron Horse Trail and Martin Canyon Creek Trail. The second passion was Heritage &
Cultural Arts. He urged the Council to keep the whole community involved from youth, seniors, as
well as middle age group. He wanted more publicity for the Heritage Center. His third passion was
the seniors who have made do with the minimum to keep the Senior Center running. .Bring.:on the.
new senior center.
Dave Burton,former CityCounciimernber and Du blin..resident,handed out blueprints:of the bell
tower. He indicated the bell tower was still missing from the original school. The Rotary Club
stimulated thinking of putting'in the bell tower,but it is a City:building..They wanted.>to know if there
was support from the City Council. Replacing the bell tower has been talked about since the 1970's.
DHPA'is also interested in having it replaced. Tom McCormick estimated it would-cost $100,000. It
would take several:years,,but they would like to develop an incentive program to allow donations for
the bell tower. He suggested the Council put up $50,000 to show support for the bell tower.
Mr.Ambrose indicated the City had`the responsibility for the building. The City could set:a target for
matching funds and get an architectural estimate.
•
Mayor Houston stated it could bea quarter of a million dollars deal because we would be building on
top of an old structure.
Mr.'Burton suggested'a:concrete porch replace the current-wooden porch. He didn't have all.the
answers but wanted an affirmative thought from the Council. .
Paul Moffatt former Mayor &°Councilmember and Dublin resident,indicated he was there to answer
any questions the Council might have in regard to SCORE. He indicated the Chamber of Commerce
had voted$400 to put in for a-workshop for SCORE to develop businesses in Dublin. Dublin has
always been known as a person friendly town and in recent years as a business friendly town. The City
would be subsidizing citizens to help pay for the course. It costs$600 to.$800 for the program with
tuition per individual being $40. The costs are for rooms,attorney,materials, CPAs,and real estate
people. There is mentoring at no cost on Tuesday mornings. He felt it was a good PR program.
Cm. Oravetz asked how they advertised?
Mr. Moffatt responded it was hard but he advertises through the Chamber.
Cm. Oravetz asked what SCORE stood for? .
Mr. Moffatt responded Service Corps of Retired Executives:

ADMINISTRATIVE OBJECTIVE # 2: "Develop a Commission/Committee Recognition
Dinner& Program."
•
Mayor Houston suggested developing a commission/committee recognition dinner &program be
combined with the citizen/organization of the year program rather than honoring the citizen and
organization at St. Patrick's Day. This occasion could be held in October or November and we would
do it all at once.
Cm. McCormick felt the timing could be a problem and that was why the citizen/organization of the
year recognition has been done in March. •
Mayor Houston indicated if it was combined it could be for the Citizen/Organization of the Year for
2001.
Cm. Oravetz felt they could also continue to be in the St. Patrick's Day Parade next year.

•
Mayor Houston requested the above objective and gave it a high priority.
Mayor Houston indicated our agendas are getting longer and starting earlier would help the staff. He felt
the participation would be the same no matter what time the Council meeting started. CTV has indicated it
was possible for them to cover the meeting at an earlier time. Dublin Housing Authority starts at 6 p.m.
every other Council meeting but very rarely lasts more than 15 minutes. They could roll right into the
Council meeting at the conclusion of the DHA meeting.
Cm. Oravetz asked if this would affect the Staff as a good thing?
Mr. Ambrose indicated the Dublin Housing Authority and the City Council meeting would have to be
noticed at the same time.
Mayor Houston responded that the Dublin Information Inc and the City Council meeting are noticed for
the same time.
Cm. Zika expressed concern about the residents that do not work in the area and they not being able to get
here if they wanted to attend a meeting. He was not in favor of it.
Mayor Houston asked Staff to look into the DHA issues and costs.
Vice Mayor Lockhart and Cm. Oravetz gave a High ranking while Cm. McCormick and Cm. Zika gave a
low ranking.
The collective City Council ranking was HIGH.
ADMINISTRATIVE ADDITIONAL OBJECTIVE #8: "Develop Housing Commission."
Vice Mayor Lockhart requested the above additional objective and gave it a High priority.
Vice Mayor Lockhart indicated an Affordable Housing Commission would work with the City Council and
Staff in determining how to distribute the funds. She felt this needed to be done fairly soon. The Council
has made major commitments to growth. .
Mayor Houston asked if it would be on-going versus a task force? He agreed that community input was
important.
•
Vice Mayor Lockhart wanted to start with a task force and work into a commission. She felt the
community was a valuable resource.

Mr. Ambrose stated a task force can define what the objectives of the group are. -
Cm. McCormick indicated Pleasanton and Livermore have Housing Commissions and are looking forward
to when Dublin has one so they can work together.
Mr: Ambrose stated it would require more staff time writing reports and attending meetings. He agreed
with the need for community input,but was concerned that there seemed to be too many groups working
on the same issues. There are too many transportation agencies and staff is running around attending all
these meetings. There are more housing committees being established. We only have so much resources:
Cm. Oravetz indicated he supported the idea of a housing task force as the first step. Then the City could
work into a commission later.
Mayor Houston stated the Council has to make the decisions on how to spend the money and not abdicate
their authority. Staff gathers the information.
Vice Mayortockhart envisioned the task force to set the process in place. A task force has a start, end
and a mission. 'A commission would advise Council on programs and represent the community.
Mayor Houston asked how much money would the City collect?
Eddie Peabody, Community Development Director, responded over$10 million.
Mayor Houston asked once the Council decided how to spend the money,what would the commission do? -- --`
Vice Mayor Lockhart responded there should be on-going decision's. This would he another:ann=and voice
asking are we heading in the right direction. Once the growth was finished,there would be renewal.
Cm. Zika did not believe there was a need for a commission. The Task Force was a good idea, but once
the decisions were made, he did not see a need for a commission.-
Cm. Oravetz recommended having a task force which would provide input from more than five people.
Mayor Houston suggested modifying the objective to creating a task force.
Vice Mayor Lockhart stated she did not want the objective modified.
Cm. McCormick gave a High ranking while Mayor Houston, Cm. Oravetz, and Cm. Zika gave a low
ranking.

FINANCE OBJECTIVE#1:"Implement new GASB Rules, including evaluation of the.City's
infrastructure and revising the City's CAFR."
Mayor Houston requested Mr. Ambrose explain about the new GASB Rules.
Mr. Ambrose explained that GASB stood for Government Accounting Standards Board. Standards#33
and#34 required government agencies to evaluate its-physical assets. Streets, parks, and lightings have
been identified as fixed assets. The City needs to determine.how much is needed to replace and maintain
those assets. If the City does not comply by 2002-03, it will not get a clear audit and it will be difficult to
pursue debt financing.
Cm. Zika felt this was a way to provide full employment for CPAs. It is making cities depreciate bridges.
It is trying to put a square peg in a round hole. It is a great dumb idea,but the City does not have a choice.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS OBJECTIVE#4: "Work with City of Pleasanton to
reach agreement on use of Altamont fees for Open Space."
Cm. McCormick asked why this was a medium objective? •
Mayor Houston changed his ranking from a Medium to a High indicating that Pleasanton was ready to go
back to the original proposal so we will now continue where we left off in August.
This changed the collective City Council ranking to a HIGH.

Year process to include $250 cash prize to be given to the winning organization and to
the favorite charity of the winning citizen."

Commissioners, Committee Members, the Citizen of the Year and the Organization of the Year.
PUBLIC RELATIONS ADDITIONAL OBJECTIVE #7: "Purchase "Spare the Air" banners
for summer months & High Pollution months (August— September)."
Cm. McCormick requested the above objective and gave it a High priority.
Cm. McCormick stated we have some of the dirtiest air so she wanted to use the banners to remind
residents to spare the air.
Cm. Oravetz asked about the cost?
. Mr. Thompson explained that the banners were put up and taken down on a schedule. The"Spare the Air"
banners could be put up with the flag banners.

• Mayor Houston, Vice Mayor Lockhart, Cm. Oravetz, and Cm. Zika gave a High ranking.
The collective City Council ranking was HIGH.
PLANNING OBJECTIVE #11: "Investigate parking and access alternatives for Village
Parkway Specific Plan Area."
Vice Mayor Lockhart suggested parking in the back.
Mayor Houston felt the parking would be driven by the activity level. He has spoken with the business
owners and they were not in favor of the diagonal parking.
Cm. Zika felt it,would be hard to do at the post office with the traffic nightmare.
Vice Mayor Lockhart changed her ranking from a High to a Medium.
This changed the collective City Council ranking to a MEDIUM.

employees to provide a ride sharing public transit incentive program as a condition of

development or business license" was changed to "Explore Trip Reduction
Alternatives."
Cm. McCormick requested the above objective and gave it a High priority.
Cm. McCormick felt it was a good policy for a City to require employers to come up with a public transit
incentive program. She wanted to make it part of the condition for development.
Cm. Oravetz asked if other cities do this?
Mr. Ambrose responded that Pleasanton had a volunteer program. The State has rescinded the 1996 Trip
Reduction Ordinance. The City would need a legal review. We do have a copy of Pleasanton's program.
Cm. Zika asked how successful was Pleasanton's program?
Vice Mayor Lockhart stated that Schwab had purchased two buses that run from BART and let others ride
free. She asked if there were funds still available?
Mr. Thompson wasn't sure the City could make it mandatory,but the City could help them set up a
voluntary program.
Mayor Houston felt it would not work with the theater and the restaurants. Office complexes could work
if they were receptive.
Cm. McCormick felt the City needs to go on record with a policy.
Mr. Ambrose recommended checking with the City Attorney's Office.
The objective was changed to "explore trip reduction alternatives".
Mayor Houston,Vice Mayor Lockhart, Cm. Oravetz, and Cm. Zika gave a High ranking.

discourage this. In Palo Alto, people were buying the property for the lot,bulldozing the building except
for one wall and building large structures. This created large mansions next to small houses.
Mayor Houston indicated someone could build a million dollar home next to him any day. If they want a
variance, they have to come to the City and there will be public noticing. He felt there will be changes and
upgrades are a good thing. He asked Wit was a big remodel, did they have to notice?
Mr. Peabody responded no.
Mayor Houston wanted to look at noticing requirements because he felt it was fair for the neighbors to talk
about the remodeling. There are set back requirements so someone can not build right up to the fence.
Mr. Ambrose asked Mr. Peabody to explain about the process for additions.
Mr. Peabody explained that staff looked at set backs-and heights.
Cm. Zika was concerned if the remodel was out of character for the neighborhood.
Mr. Peabody responded there was only design review on new buildings. _
Cm. McCormick and Cm. Oravetz gave a Medium ranking while Mayor Houston and Vice Mayor
Lockhart gave a Low ranking.
The collective City Council ranking was MEDIUM.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADDITIONAL OBJECTIVE#6: "Provide financial support to
SCORE (small business counseling)."

Ms. Lowart explained Staff saw it as a medium because it would be contingent upon the School District's
support.
Vice Mayor Lockhart responded at the Liaison level it was supported.
Mr. Ambrose explained this was similar to Objective#16.
Mayor Houston wanted to open up school facilities after hours for more programs for the community.
The Council deleted this objective and replaced it with Objective# 16.
PARKS & COMMUNITY SERVICES ADDITIONAL OBJECTIVE #12: "Explore feasibility of
expanding youth sports program to include volleyball & roller hockey leagues."
The above objective was presented by the Parks & Community Services Commission.
Mayor Houston asked-if we had infrastructure to do these things?
Diane Lowart, Director of Parks& Community Services, responded yes for the volleyball,but no for a full
blown roller hockey area.
`Cm. Oravetz asked if they wanted to increase the roller hockey league?
Ms. Lowart responded yes.
Mayor Houston felt volleyball should be a more immediate goal.
Ms. Lowart indicated volleyball was an activity for kids not interested in basketball.
Vice Mayor Lockhart asked if we had gym space?
Ms. Lowart responded we did after basketball season. '
Roller hockey leagues was deleted from the objective for the time being.

PARKS & COMMUNITY SERVICES ADDITIONAL OBJECTIVE #13: "Explore feasibility of
including a dog park in the master plan for the Sports Park on Gleason Drive & Fallon
Road."
The above objective was presented by the Parks & Community Services Commission.
Cm. Oravetz indicated he did not want the idea to die. It was a good meeting place for the community to
gather.
Mayor Houston stated the City had the site for a dog park but he was baffled over strange events that had
happened. The Council had voted for the dog park and then the person withdrew the request.
Vice Mayor Lockhart explained that there had been neighbor opposition. Objective#19 was another site
for the dog park. This was a good location. There are no homes surrounding it. Condo owners have pets
but no place to take them. It was high density housing with no lawns. The area has two levels,
Ms. Lowart stated there was no water. The City would have to bring in water and install a meter.
The consensus of the Council was to delete the above objective and use Objective#19.
PARKS & COMMUNITY SERVICES ADDITIONAL OBJECTIVE #15: "Conduct cost/benefit
analysis of installing artificial turf at future City sports fields."
The above objective was presented by the Parks& Community Services Commission.
Vice Mayor Lockhart questioned whether sports were trying to get away from artificial turf?
Ms. Lowart explained that this would be rubberized recycled products that are laid like carpet. They pour
large layers of liquid. It has only been in use for two years old so they are not sure what the life of the turf
would be. It is estimated to last eight to ten years.. It could then be taken out&put down again.
Cm. Zika asked about drainage since the City had had trouble with drainage problems on the football field?

included in the current budget, should the 2001-2002 Budget fund only High Priority Objectives?
Yes— by a consensus.
Should High Priority Objectives only be identified in a higher service level when additional funding is
required?
Yes — by a consensus.
IC. During Fiscal Year 2000-01,the City Council funded a number of community groups. For
each community group identified,please identify whether the community groups funding request
should be included in the base level or in a higher level of service in Fiscal Year 2001-2002.

PRESENTATION
ALAMEDA COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (ACTA)
REGARDING STATUS OF IMPLEMENTING THE NEW MEASURE B .
•
7:17 p.m. 3.1 (1060-90)
Representatives from ACTA stated they wished,to show their appreciation to the City
Council for their support of Measure B and its passage in November 2000. Passage of
Measure B shows the great need for continued investments in our transportation
infrastructure. Alameda County passed Measure B with 81.5% of the vote.
Steve Castleberry, Deputy Director of ACTA thanked the City for supporting the passage
of Measure B and stated almost 4 of 5 voters in Dublin voted in support of this. He
discussed several projects which will benefit from this extension of Measure B. This
means $3.6 million in street repairs in Dublin over the next 20 years, as well as
numerous other projects which will receive funding. They're developing contracts to
implement the new program. Alameda County has taken the lead on the Iron Horse Trail
project.
A plaque was presented in appreciation for the Council's support.

not use it right away.

The Cities of Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton and San Ramon are provided cable service by
AT&T's Broadband Division (formerly TCI). The 15-year Cable Television Franchise
Agreement between the Cities and AT&T Broadband and Internet Services expired on
December 31, 2000. In early November 2000, the City Council adopted a Resolution
authorizing an extension to the existing franchise agreement from December 31, 2000 to
March 31, 2001. While the City and AT&T had concluded formal negotiations in
advance of the December deadline, more time was needed by AT&T and City
representatives to develop and refine contract language that adhered to state and federal
regulations,as well as local regulatory standards.
Over the life of the Franchise Agreement,Dublin will receive approximately $3 million
in Franchise Fees based on 5% gross annual revenues from AT&T. In addition, the $ .50
subscriber fee will generate approximately $715,000 to Dublin over the 10-year
Franchise Agreement. These figures assume a conservative growth rate of subscribers by
5%. Collectively, the four cities (Dublin, 'Pleasanton, San Ramon and Livermore) will
receive a one-time grant of $1 million,and will also receive several in-kind commitments
from AT&T, ranging from free outlets for public buildings, schools and libraries to
providing free fiber optic insertion points for live coverage of City Council meetings.
The Franchise Agreement and Cable Ordinance grants AT&T a 10-year non-exclusive
Franchise Agreement with the City of Dublin. Because the final adoption of the
Ordinance occurs in May 2001 (30 days after adoption), and the Franchise Agreement
must be effective after the Ordinance effective date, the City Council will need to extend
the existing Franchise Agreement to May 31, 2001. The new 10-year AT&T Franchise
Agreement and Side Letter will begin June 1, 2001.
The tasks which were completed either in advance or in conjunction with the franchise
renewal process, including: 1) Create a Cable System Regulatory.Ordinance; 2) Public
Review Process and Needs Assessment; 3) Franchise Fee Audit; 4) Franchise Renewal
Negotiations; and 5) a Summary of the Major Deal Points.
Ms. Carter discussed the 12 major deal points:
1. Franchise Term 10 years - effective June 1, 2001.
Z. AT&T will provide the Cities with a one-time capital grant of.$1 million that
includes: $800,000 for cable equipment purchases for the Cities and/or CTV
$200,000 for construction to connect distant facilities to the cable
system.
3. AT&T will provide an on-going grant of up to $ .50 per subscriber per month for
the life of the franchise with adjustments possible for changes in inflation and
subscriber growth. This grant money will be separately itemized on subscriber

bills. With over 67,000 current subscribers, this monetary support could yield
$33,500/month or $402,000 annually.
4. AT&T will continue to provide a franchise fee established at 5% of gross annual
cable service revenues (same as the current fee and maximum permitted by law).
Annually, the City receives approximately $250,000 in revenue to compensate the
community for use of its public right-of-way for AT&T's commercial and profit-
oriented activities.
5. AT&T will provide one free cable outlet at all City buildings.
6. AT&T will provide all schools and libraries with free outlets and cable services,
including Internet access. Discounts will be provided on additional outlets to these
• locations, and on all outlets for City facilities.
7. AT&T will be required to install conduit, when trenches are open, in new
commercial development areas to enable the delivery of cable, internet'and
telephone services to the business community.
8. AT&T will continue to provide three Educational and Government (EG) Access
channels, with a fourth channel available if certain levels of usage are achieved.
Currently, Channels 28, 29 and 30 are considered PEG access, with Channel 28
being shared with AT&T as a leased access channel.
9. AT&T will provide a separate channel for Public Access and provide support
throughout the life of the franchise. This is an estimated value of$1.5 million over
the life of the franchise agreement.
10. AT&T will provide fiber optic insertion points in each City and at CTV (for live
coverage of City Council meetings, if so requested). The estimated cost of pulling
fiber to all of the City's locations combined is $440,000, but will not be capped
should it exceed that amount.
• 11. AT&T has agreed to adhere to specific customer service standards, such as system
repair requirements, billing and information standards, and subscriber complaint
and dispute requirements. The ordinance also includes formal processes for cable
competitors to follow when petitioning the City for a cable franchise agreement.
12. AT&T has indicated that it was unwilling to set precedent for other communities by
having certain obligations in the franchise agreement. In an.effort to permit AT&T
to be able to state that it does not agree to these conditions in any of its franchise
agreements,yet provide the Cities with the assurance that AT&T would perform as
has been negotiated, the Cities and AT&T agreed to utilize a separate Side Letter
agreement. The Side Letter is fully enforceable as if it was part of the actual
agreement, and has been approved by the City Attorney's Office. The Side Letter
will be presented to the City by AT&T at the same time the Franchise Agreement is
executed. The Side Letter addresses three provisions of the Franchise Agreement as
follows:

3) The cost recovery and non-itemization on Subscriber bills of the $1 million

Cm. Zika stated he noted AT&T is providing free access to City buildings and to schools.
He questioned where the new Senior Center is on the list.
Ms. Carter responded that all existing programs now in place will continue. The library
already has access and the senior center will be in that facility in the future.
Cm. Zika would stated he would like to see this in the agreement. The library is already
wired.
Cm. Oravetz asked what happens if one of the cities decides not to honor the agreement.
Ms. Carter stated about 18 months ago the process started and at that time the cities
determined as a group that we would save money by going together. The education
_ process was through an ad hoc committee and they met several times throughout the
process. Pleasanton has it on their agenda tonight also. Livermore and San Ramon will
meet on this next week.
Vice Mayor Lockhart advised that progress reports have been provided to the City
Council during the last 18:months also.
Mr. Ambrose stated this franchise agreement stands on its own. The $1 million will be
split equally rather than be prorated.
Michael Freedman, who is representing the cities in the negotiations addressed the
Council. He stated the cities agreed internally that it would be divided by 4 rather than
prorated. He explained that there is a procedure established with renewing franchises.
Vice Mayor Lockhart stated she felt it is a good agreement. They've done a good job of
covering all the things that were brought up by the public or staff. She thanked Julie
Carter for the many hours she put into this. This is good for our community; it offers us
things we don't have now.

Mr. Freedman stated the reality is all the costs will be incorporated into the rates. The
$ .50 will show as a separate line item on the bill.
Cm. Zika asked about the service which will exist at the new senior center, and
commented he didn't see internet access listed.
Ms. Carter explained that on Page 108 of 112 of the exhibits to the Staff Report, other
future buildings were designated. The future senior center, future fire station and other
future buildings are listed.
Mr. Freedman stated AT&T can be asked to modify the language to specifically include
this for internet access.
Rachelle Guillen stated they committed to providing the same services as exist today so
the senior center will receive the same services as they receive today.
Mayor Houston.closed the public hearing.
On motion of Vice Mayor Lockhart, seconded by Cm. McCormick, and by unanimous

VICIOUS DOG HEARING APPEAL
7:47 p.m. 6.2 (500-40)
Mayor Houston opened the public hearing.
Administrative Analyst Amy Cunningham presented the Staff Report.
A Vicious Dog Hearing was conducted on February 8, 2001, in accordance with Dublin
Municipal Code Chapter 5.36,Animal Control. The findings, which were issued on
February 14, 2001, declared the dog vicious and imposed restrictions on the dog. The
hearing findings were subsequently appealed to the City Council.

On January 30, 2001, Staff received a report from Alameda County Animal Control
regarding a dog bite incident occurring on January 28, 2001. The report stated that a
woman was walking her two leashed dogs (Bailey and Samantha) down the street when a
third dog, an approximately one year old pit bull (Cher), charged and bit the dogs.
Bailey received a 2" laceration on the head and a laceration on the left ear. Samantha
received a 4" wound to the chest, two puncture wounds to the right front leg, and two
puncture wounds to the hindquarters.
Findings from the hearing were issued on February 14, 2001, and the following
restrictions were imposed: 1) the owner shall take adequate precautions to ensure that
the dog is only out of the fenced backyard or residence when muzzled, in a chest harness,
with a 6' leash and under the direct control of an adult; and 2) the owner shall purchase
and install a second gate king pin that matches the existing one located on the left side of
the gate by February 28, 2001. Upon completion of the gate modification, owner shall
contact Animal Control for an inspection.
On February 26th,Animal Control inspected the modifications to the owner's gate. They
found the gates to be strong and in adequate condition to contain the dog.
Eric and Lisa Dettenrieder appealed the Hearing Director's determination on the grounds
that Cher constitutes an unreasonable risk to the health and welfare of the citizens of
Dublin.
Animal Control Officer Bowman believes that the additional precautions of muzzling the
dog and the use of a chest harness to maintain further control of the dog when outside of
the yard, will protect the public.
The findings issued as a result of this hearing are consistent with past findings. In
previous cases, dogs involved in similar bite/attack incidents for the first time, faced
restrictions such as: compliance with the leash law; prohibitions on the dog being
outside of the fenced yard except under the control of a competent adult; fence
inspections to ensure that the fence is adequate to contain the dog; and requiring
necessary fence repairs to be made at the owner's expense.
In October of 1999, the City Council upheld on appeal similar restrictions imposed on a
dog after a Vicious Dog Hearing in which a loose dog bit a person on the leg. The
findings required that: 1) the owner take adequate precautions to ensure that the dog is
only out of the fenced backyard when on a leash and under the control of an adult; and
2) the owner contact Animal Control for inspection for the fencing and make any

modifications required by Animal Control. The restrictions.placed on that dog, which bit
a human, are less restrictive than those placed on Cher.
In conclusion, Staff recommended that the City Council conduct the public hearing,
obtain any necessary information from concerned parties, deliberate and determine
whether or not the findings and determination of the February 8th hearing should be
upheld. If the City Council determines that said findings and determination should not
be upheld, the City Council will need to make findings regarding the merits of the appeal
and determine whether other restrictions should be imposed, or actions taken.
Eric Dettenreiter stated he signed the appeal and his question is have you seen other
similar animals that just tweaked and ran after the other two dogs? Is it in their nature
to do it again?
AC Officer Bowman responded that the dog showed aggressiveness and explained that
what it sees is what's in front of it and they protect their territory from other dogs. They
normally grow out of it. Other breeds also exhibit this type of behavior.
Mr. Dettenreiter stated other people on the block have similar concerns. He also has a
dog and 2 cats and his 8 year old son likes to play basketball. He's concerned that this
dog might get out and attack. He also walks his dog. His dog could be in line to be
attacked.
Officer Bowman stated it is not common for this breed to attack children of that age.
Crawling children could be mistaken for animals. She has seen the yard and it is above
and beyond what is required. There are no guarantees in life.
Mr. Dettenreiter stated his 20 year old son wanted to get one of these dogs, but he said
no, he is not willing to assume the risk.
Ms. Cunningham stated in this case, in order for the dog to get out someone would have
to unlock all the locks in the inside and also the ones on the outside.
Mr. Dettenreiter asked when does the dog get to be taken for a walk?
Ms. Cunningham stated it will be muzzled and on a chest harness, which will give the
owner more control of the animal.
Mr. Dettenreiter asked if they felt there was nothing wrong with the dog.

Officer Bowman stated the dog did not show any aggressiveness at all to a uniform, or
stranger.
Ms. Cunningham advised that there was no barking when they went to inspect the fence.
The dog exhibited no signs of fear apprehension or aggressiveness. They feel that
protective aggression was what provoked the attack.
Mr. Dettenreiter stated he is not excited about the exposure. He doesn't want to assume
the risk of the dog getting out again.
Lorene Nettles stated she started a business, Pets Without Partners, and has a Stafford
Shire Terrier who is 13 years old. She has turtles, frogs, and many dogs. She said a
Stafford Shire Terrier is an excellent dog. She commented she never walks any of her
dogs without a leash. You cannot expect dogs to act like people. They are more
aggressive when they are young. This dog should be given a second chance. She has
volumes of pictures of dogs that she has dealt with. Stafford Shire Terriers are very
smart,and they will do whatever you tell them. Hopefully, these owners will receive the
training that this dog needs.
Cm. Oravetz asked what we would do if he escaped again.
Ms. Nettles stated if it were her dog and it got out again and attacked, she would put it
down.
Mayor Houston asked if she had experience with a dog that has been abused and trained
to fight.
Ms. Nettles responded yes, she has one at her house now. She talked about how she came
in contact with it. Her name is Honey and she has been abused. She was bred to.fight.
She was introduced to her other animals slowly. She went through the whole rescue
process with her. She is fine now.
Cm. Zika asked if the dog, Cher, has been enrolled in anger aggressive classes?
Ms. Cunningham stated the dog is on a waiting list for an obedience class. It was 3
months old when it was adopted.
Officer Bowman stated it was probably rejected as a fighting dog.
Ms. Nettles stated she felt all dogs in this county should be micro chipped and should be
leashed at all times.

Cm. McCormick asked if there is more than one access to the back yard.
Ms. Cunningham replied there are two gates and they are both padlocked. They have a
tool shed where the dogs can be secured so they cannot getout when they need to access
the gates. They have 2 dogs. The second is a golden retriever.
Cm. Oravetz asked if the dogs are in training classes.
Ms. Cunningham repeated Cher is on a waiting list for obedience classes.
Vice Mayor Lockhart asked about the dog run and if it has been built?
Ms. Cunningham stated it has not yet been built. When this occurred, it was the rainy
season. It would provide an additional level where the dogs would have to get out 2
gates.
Graham Wilson, owner-of Cher, stated he shared some of the worries. They did rescue
her. She is fine with their other dog. They have done research and discovered several
facts. No person was injured or threatened. This was a brief scuffle between 3 dogs.
They have done a lot of work in their yard rebuilding and reinforcing the fencing.
Aggression behavior between other animals and humans are completely different. They
are as anxious as anyone that there be no repetition to this accident. They have suffered
many incidents as a result of this incident. They and their children have been threatened,
as well as threats against their dog. Pit Bulls are no more dangerous than any other
breed. Cher has never shown aggression to anybody. Others describe her as very gentle
and loving. Her Vet describes her as likeable and friendly and an outgoing dog.
Officer Bowman commented that approximately 25 minutes before she responded to this
call, there were 4 or 5 young boys playing roller hockey in the street. She patrols this
street regularly because it is near Mape Park.
Mr. Wilson stated they don't use the gates anymore. They would have to be opened
inside and outside.
Cm. Oravetz asked Animal Control what is the most vicious dog.
Officer Bowman stated Rottweiler as they attack other dogs, and people and are more
unpredictable.
Mayor Houston closed the public hearing.

Vice Mayor Lockhart stated it is interesting to learn more about the history of the Pit Bull.
She has concerns about the situation in the neighborhood and more about the family
than the dog. She wanted to make sure if the dog remains that the neighbors aren't
afraid to use their street and their park. Until this dog is older and trained she did not
want the dog to go for walks or use the park. She felt the dog has lost her recreational
privileges. The neighbors were traumatized. It is unfair to the neighborhood. The
situation doesn't warrant euthanizing the dog, but the family needs to take control. It
should not leave the back yard unless they are putting it in a vehicle to take it somewhere
else. It should go through a program and be acknowledged by competent city people
who can verify this. Age and instruction are important.
Vice Mayor Lockhart stated she would like to add another condition that the dog is not to
leave the yard and not to be walked on the sidewalks in the neighborhood until it's 5
years old and has had the training.
Cm. Zika asked if it is fair to the dog making it stay in the yard for 5 years.
Officer Bowman stated the Wilson's have a big back yard.
Cm. Oravetz stated they can't go anywhere in Dublin, so do we send them to San Ramon?
The Council clarified that the dog can't be in any park in Dublin.
Mayor Houston asked if they have contacted their homeowners insurance and let them
know about the vicious dog status and taken out coverage. He asked if they would name
the City of Dublin,as additional insured?
Mr. Wilson stated he didn't know what this involves, but he would talk to his insurance
broker.
Mayor Houston stated it is not fair to anyone on his street to take any responsibility other
than him.
Mr. Wilson again stated he does not know what this involves. If he can't get insurance,
he can't get it. The premises are very secure. When this incident took place, Cher was
not under their control. They've taken steps to ensure that this risk is removed. He stated
he will do whatever he can to make this happen with naming the City as additional
insured.
Mayor Houston stated he felt this is something reasonable. If they have a liability to the
community or themselves, they need the insurance. Euthenasia is a last resort or asking

it to leave the City. An animal deemed Vicious should have adequate insurance. The
insurance exists out there, but he will have to seek it out. He is asking that he get this
coverage. He stated he would like to have any animal deemed Vicious in the community
have this requirement put on them.
Vice Mayor Lockhart commented on the previous Vicious Dog appeal and the restrictions
placed on the dog.
City Attorney Silver stated the City would not have liability but it is reasonable to require
the owner to make sure he has in place adequate insurance to protect members of the
public. It would be a civil matter. The City's exposure is no different than before the
attack occurred.
Cm. Zika asked, if he can't get this insurance, then what is the alternative?
Mayor Houston stated there is insurance out there and if you want to pay for it you will
protect your family. He stated he disagreed with the City Attorney and felt the City does
have liability.
City Manager Ambrose stated the City has certain immunities and this is what the City
Attorney was referencing.
Vice Mayor Lockhart stated she felt it is important that he have insurance but she was not
convinced that the City should be named as additional insured.
Mr. Wilson stated their insurance is fully aware of what happened. He can supply a
copy to the City. They will maintain liability insurance. He stated he thought his policy
was $250,000, but was not sure.
Mr. Ambrose stated, when asked, that the City typically requires $1 million coverage,
depending upon what the scope of the work is with our contracts.
Vice Mayor Lockhart stated she felt it is up to him to determine how much insurance he
. carries. This will be a civil matter. She is not interested in the amount, but for the safety
of the residents.
Cm. Oravetz concurred that it is a civil issue but stated he would agree that he has to
show he has insurance. He is concerned about public safety. He agreed to a type of
quarantine for a few years; and that they can't take her in the Dublin parks.

Mayor Houston proposed that this become common with VD hearings and stated they are
not being singled out. This is a problem, so in the future, we need to change. We should
establish a policy in the City of Dublin requiring this.
On motion of Vice Mayor Lockhart, seconded by Cm. Zika, and by unanimous vote, the
Council added to the existing recommendations that: 1) the dog be quarantined in the
back yard area until she's 5 years of age; 2) the dog is required to go through behavior
modification programs within the next 3 months; 3) she cannot be walked in Dublin;
and 4) they must show proof of insurance.
