F..CEIYED SEP 5 193D Oily OF DUBLIN Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council it- City of Dublin Post Office Box 2340 Dublin, California 94568 Dear Mayor Moffatt and Councilmembers: At a recent meeting a request was made to our Council by a group of interested people to have the City look into the possibility of providing funds for a Performing Arts Center Feasibility Study. A number of people, not all Livermore residents, are interested in the idea of building a Performing Arts Center somewhere within our Valley. One possible site location would be near Las Positas College, but there may be other potential locations as well. A feasibility study could determine the need and use for such a center, identify potential site locations, funding sources, and suggest operational criteria. As you well know, there is not a suitable Performing Arts Center anywhere within our valley. People have often expressed to me the need for such a facility, but two of the major stumbling blocks have been location and financing. Commissioning 1 = a feasibility study would be the first step toward answering a lot ;.- of questions that I am sure are asked by residents of your IM,r. ,, . community as well. ` consulting Th�w e ow o bh avap p xmda dl e 7by,0an.expe rLev ore, Pleasanton, and Dublin shared equally in the cost, it would be N',!- - $25, 000 for each city.
