TRANSIT AUTHORITY JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS AGREEMENT & BYLAWS
At its meeting of July 23 , 1984 , the City Council directed the City Attorney
to prepare a report for City Council consideration of the Transit Authority
Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement . As a result of a meeting between the
City Attorneys of Dublin, Livermore and Pleasanton, a revised Transit
Authority Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement was prepared.
CM-3-190
Regular Meeting August 27, 1984
Staff reviewed the revised Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement and offered
comments for discussion .
The City Council discussed the issues identified in the July 23 , 1984 Agenda
Statement and also addressed the comments of Staff as they related to the
revised JEPA and Bylaws .
On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder , and by majority vote
( Cm. Hegarty absent ) , the Council determined that the JEPA should include the
City of Dublin, the City of Pleasanton, the City of Livermore and Alameda
County. Voting NO on this motion was Mayor Snyder who felt Dublin did not
have enough conclusive information to indicate that this was the best way to
proceed. . Mayor Snyder did not feel that this would be the most cost
effective method, and stated he did not understand why Livermore wanted to be
a part of the JEPA. He felt that Dublin should crawl before it walks .
Cm. Moffatt stated he had questions as to why Alameda County would want to
come into the JEPA with only one vote .
Routes and time schedules were discussed.
On motion of Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. Jeffery, and by unanimous vote ( Cm.
Hegarty absent ) , the Council defined the basic level of service and directed
that it be included within the document and inserted as Exhibit A.
TDA funding was discussed with regard to bus stops and Dial-A-Ride . Clari-
fication was requested with regard to Article 4 . 0 funds .
On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder , and by unanimous vote
(Cm. Hegarty absent ) , the Council agreed to insert a clarification statement
"TDA funds available without limitation under Article 4 . 0 . " Staff was
directed to check with MTC to determine whether this creates any problems .
Conditions of withdrawal from the Authority were discussed. The provisions ;
as stated, do not provide adequate protection to individual jurisdictions,
therefore, consideration should be given to changing the number of jurisdic-
tions required to withdraw from the Authority before dissolution occurs, from
three to one.
On motion of Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. Jeffery, and by unanimous vote ( Cm.
Hegarty absent ) , the Council agreed to change the number from three to one
related to withdrawal from the Authority.
The Council reviewed the Transit Authority JPA "Summary of Permitted Actions
and Their Method of Accomplishment" and determined the following :
Agreed with stated method of accomplishment for first 6 items . Item 7 , Enter
Long-term Contracts , felt that 35 days advance notice should be given; Item
8 , Amend Bylaws , felt that 35 days advance notice should be given and that
Section 9 . 02 of the Bylaws should be added to the JEPA; Item 9 , Adopt Budget,
felt that 35 days advance notice should be given ; Item 10 , Reduce Passenger
Miles by 20% or More, felt this should be changed to Reduce Basic Level of
Service by 20% or More, and method of accomplishment should read "Majority of
CM-3-191
Regular Meeting August 27, 1984
Board of Directors with approval by Representative of Affected Jurisdiction" ;
Item 11 ) Change .Bus Routes , same as Item 10 .
The above items were adopted by a motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm.
Vonheeder , and by unanimous vote ( Cm. Hegarty absent ) .
Discussion was held with regard to the hiring of the general manager .
Mayor Snyder indicated he did not feel that it was appropriate that 2
agencies could basically control everything.
On motion of Cm. Vonheeder , seconded by Cm. Jeffery, and by majority vote
( Cm. Hegarty absent ) , the Council agreed with the concept that the Board of
Directors would contract for the general manager , with the City of Pleasanton
administering . It was agreed that in the hiring of the general manager , and
in the case of major expenditures, the vote must be unanimous, and the agency
representative must have the consent of their respective councils or boards .
Voting NO on this motion was Mayor Snyder .
The City Council directed the City ' s Policy Committee Member to address the
City Council ' s position with the other agencies presently involved in the
Policy Committee .
RECESS
A short recess was called . All Councilmembers were present ( Cm. Hegarty
absent ) , when the meeting reconvened.
KOLB PARK TENNIS COURT ACQUISITION
On September 21, 1983 , the City Council authorized Staff to notify the
Murray School District of its interest in acquiring the Fallon School Site,
including Kolb Park ( see attached letter ) . On October 3 , 1983 , the School
District notified the City that the District would extend the period of time
in which the City had to notify the District of its intention to purchase
the Fallon School site for 45 days .
During the summer , Staff met with Murray School District Staff
Representatives to discuss the City' s intentions with respect to the tennis
courts. The Murray School District Staff indicated that the School District .
will be holding a meeting during the month of September to discuss the
future of surplus school sites , including the Fallon School site . The
Murray School District Staff suggested that the City have a proposal to the
School Board regarding the tennis courts so that the proposal can be
discussed as part of the overall discussion on the surplus school sites .
CM-3-192
Regular Meeting August 27, 1984 ,
Given the fact that the School District has not idicated its intention with
respect to the ultimate use of the Fallon School site, it is Staff ' s
recommendation that the City Council authorize Staff to approach the School
District with an interim proposal which would involve the purchase of the
tennis courts and the land immediately in front of the tennis courts between
the courts and Brighton Drive . By acquiring this portion of the site, the
City could refurbish the tennis courts and assume responsibility for their
future maintenance . Once the School District has determined which portion
of the remainder of the site it plans to dispose of, the City could work
with the District in acquiring the remainder of the area which is to be used
for a park .
The Engineering 'Staff has identified an area of approximately 38 , 000 sq ft
which would be included in the acquisition proposal . Since this site has
not been appraised, Staff estimated the market value at $1 . 50-$2 . 30 per
square foot . Under the provisions of the Naylor Bill , the acquisition cost
of the 38 ,000 square feet is estimated at $14 , 250-$21 ,850 .
Cm. Jeffery felt the City should take another look at the overall picture,
in light of the fact that Frederiksen is no longer being considered
available. The City should go back and revise its plan for purchase . If
the Dolan site deal does not go through, the City could potentially be able
to purchase an additional 10 acres under the Naylor Bill .
On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder , and by unanimous vote
( Cm. Hegarty absent ) , the Council directed Staff to prepare a new resolution
to include the Dolan Site on the exhibit listing surplus properties . Staff
was directed to bring back the revised resolution and modified plan to the
Council on September 10th .
On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder , and by unanimous vote
( Cm. Hegarty absent ) , the City Council authorized Staff to submit a proposal
to the Board of Trustees for discussion purposes, for 5 acres of the Fallon
School site with an alternate plan that would provide for the City ' s
acquisition of approximately 38 , 000 square feet of land including the Kolb
Park tennis courts .
SAN RAMON ROAD SPECIFIC PLAN
IMPROVEMENT ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
As part of the San Ramon Road Specific Plan and as conditions upon projects
approved within the Plan area, a number of public street improvements are to
be constructed by the property owners .
Petitions were prepared and sent to the property owners within the proposed
District with the result that 3 signatures have been received. These
signatures represent the Jeha property, Morrison Homes property and Moret
property. These 3 owners represent more than 600 of .the land within the
District, which is required to waive certain proceedings and limitations for -
the formation of the District .

INTENTION TO ACQUIRE AND CONSTRUCT IMPROVEMENTS
REHABILITATION OF MAJOR ARTERIALS
DUBLIN BOULEVARD, AMADOR VALLEY BOULEVARD AND VILLAGE PARKWAY
This project would repair pavement failures , provide an asphalt overlay and
traffic signal interconnect wire at the following locations :
Village Parkway-Amador Valley Boulevard to Dublin Boulevard
Dublin Boulevard ( north side ) -San Ramon Road to Alamo Canal
Amador Valley Boulevard-San Ramon Road to Donahue Drive
The streets are in need of repair and overlay. The south side of Dublin
Boulevard was overlayed in 1982 . In addition, street lights would be
installed in the median on the Dublin Boulevard project .
This project has now been approved for advertising by both the State and
Federal agencies .
The landscaping of medians and street trees on these streets will follow the
improvements undertaken as part of this project .
On motion of Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder , and by unanimous vote

CM-3-194
Regular Meeting August 27 , 1984
TRACT 4859 ( NIELSEN)
CONSENT TO ESTABLISH SILVERGATE DRIVE AS COUNTY ROAD
Tract 4859 ( Nielsen) was approved by the City Council on August 13 , 1984 and
is scheduled to go before the County Board of Supervisors on August 28 ,
1984 .
The extension of Silvergate Drive within this Tract falls in both the City
and County. It is Staff ' s position that since the bulk of the tract and
street is in the County, the County should handle the processing .
This action simplifies the process by not requiring both jurisdictions to
enter into separate agreements and require separate bonds and fees .
Dublin Staff will inspect the improvements and the County will turn over the
inspection fees to the City for this purpose .
When this tract is annexed to the City, the street will become a Dublin
Street and the City will assume maintenance responsibility.
On motion of Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder , and by unanimous vote
( Cm. Hegarty absent ) , the Council adopted
RESOLUTION NO. 95 - 84
CONSENTING TO ESTABLISHMENT OF CITY STREETS
AS COUNTY ROADS ( SILVERGATE DRIVE, TRACT 4859 )
SHANNON CENTER UTILIZATION
REQUEST FROM SAN RAMON VALLEY COMMUNITY CENTER
The San Ramon Valley Community Center ( SRVCC) has submitted a request to
utilize the Shannon Facility for several classes during the Fall 1984
session . Staff has reviewed the request in terms of availability and
responded.
The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the SRVCC request and discussed
the several options at its .August 14 , 1984 meeting.
The Commission agreed that one of the primary goals of the City' s Recreation
Department should be to maximize the usage of the Shannon facility, with
City of Dublin programs and services .
There was a good deal of discussion regarding allowing the San Ramon Valley
Community Center to continue utilizing Shannon . Recognizing that the
Recreation Department increased the number of classes offered from 16 in the
summer to 43 in the fall, and that there still are available program hours
at the Shannon site, the Commission voted in favor of the option which
continues the provision of additional , unduplicated community services and
increases the City of Dublin Recreation Department ' s visibility.
CM-3-195
Regular Meeting August 27, 1984
On motion of Cm. Vonheeder , seconded by Cm. Jeffery, and by unanimous vote
(Cm. Hegarty absent ) , and in accordance with the Park and Recreation
Commission recommendation, the City Council authorized the San Ramon Valley
Community Center to utilize the Shannon Community Center at those rates
identified in Option I of the Staff Report .
STREET SWEEPING & LITTER PICK-UP SERVICES
AUTHORIZATION TO INVITE BIDS
On July 26 , 1982 , the City Council awarded a bid to MARC Sweeping Service to
provide Street Sweeping Service on public streets . The scope of services
have been expanded and the contract was renewed for an additional year .
This contract terminates September 30 , 1984 .
In order to assure that services are being provided in a cost effective
manner , Staff has prepared documents inviting sealed bids . The specifi-
cations outline a service level consistent with what is currently provided
in the City of Dublin. This allows for residential areas to be swept once
every other week and commercial areas to be swept on a weekly basis . The
provision of litter pick-up and removal of trash from City owned receptacles
are also provided by the current contractor . The bid specifications request
unit costs for each of these services . The specifications establish the
framework for a two year agreement which may be amended after the first year
of operation to reflect any cost adjustments . The City Council would be
required to authorize any adjustment .
City Manager Ambrose reported that the current contract expires on
September 30 , 1984 and there is no provision for any type of extension.
On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder , and by unanimous vote
( Cm. Hegarty absent ) , the Council directed Staff to draft a provision for an
extension to the current contract with Marc Sweeping Service until such time
as a new contract is awarded. The revision was to be brought back to the
Council at their September 10th meeting .
On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Moffatt , and by unanimous vote
( Cm. Hegarty absent ) , the City Council approved the bid specifications and
authorized Staff to proceed with the formal bid process . Following the .
opening of the bids, a recommended contract will be prepared and presented
to the City Council .
ADOPTION OF SCHEDULES FOR FEES AND SERVICES
Effective July 1 , 1982 , the City of Dublin assumed the responsibility for
the provision of municipal services . Prior to that date the services were
provided by the County of Alameda . The Schedules contained in the proposed
resolution are identical to those used by the County in 1982 .
CM-3-196
Regular Meeting August 27, 1984
As an administrative matter Staff has been collecting the fees and charges
at the same rate as was applied by the County in July of 1982 . Fee
schedules for the following services were adopted by the County as indicated
below.
Police Services October 6 , 1981
Grading March 16 , 1982
Encroachment February 3 , 1981
Bonds for Faithful February 3 , 1981

Planning Department April 27 , 1982
The Engineering Subdivision Schedule requires the applicant to pay the
actual cost . The schedule only defines the amount to be deposited. The
difference must either be paid by the applicant or refunded to the applicant
as appropriate . Exhibit 7 : General Fees for service relate to services
specifically designed for the City of Dublin and were not established by a
prior County Resolution . This includes the cost for photo copies, receiving
meeting agendas, etc.
All of the schedules contained in the resolution remain unchanged, since
they were established by the County. The fees do not exceed the reasonable
cost of providing the specified services .
On ;notion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder , and by unanimous vote
( Cm. Hegarty absent ) , the City Council formalized the schedules by adopting
RESOLUTION NO. 96 - 84
ADOPTING FEES, CHARGES, AND BOND AMENDMENTS

1984 MORTGAGE REVENUE BOND PROGRAM
In 1983 the Dublin City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the City to
participate in a Mortgage Revenue Bond Program that year . As a result of
that program one developer within the City was able to obtain below market
financing for new homes . This developer is presently building the Heritage
Commons project on Amador Valley Boulevard.
The City is in receipt of a letter from the County Planning Director , William
Fraley, soliciting the City ' s interest in participating in the 1984 County
Mortgage Revenue Bond Program for single family housing . The County has
received an allocation of $35 . 5 Million Dollars from the State and expects to
issue bonds in that amount in September of 1984 . The County has further
indicated that it has received requests for funding in excess of $100 ,000 , 000
dollars from developers from various cities throughout the County. The
County has yet to make a final selection as to which developer will be able
to participate. Developers within the City of Dublin that have expressed an
interest in participating in this program include Morrison Homes, which is
presently developing the property behind Iceland; and Kaufman and Broad which
is presently developing a portion of the Nielsen Ranch.
CM-3-197
Regular Meeting August 27, 1984
The City ' s participation in the County ' s Mortgage Revenue Bond Program would
in no way hinder the City from developing its own bond allocation in the
future .
On motion of Cm. Moffatt , seconded by Cm. Vonheeder , and by unanimous vote
( Cm. Hegarty absent ) , the Council adopted
RESOLUTION NO. 97 - 84
APPROVING A HOME MORTGAGE FINANCE PROGRAM IN COOPERATION WITH THE
COUNTY OF ALAMEDA AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE

HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ( HCD) BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM PARTICIPATION
On September 27 , 1982 , the City Council agreed to participate in the Alameda.
County Urban County Housing and Community Development (HCD) Block Grant
Program for Fiscal Years 1982-83 , 1983-84 , and 1984-85 . The HCD Program
undertakes community renewal and lower income housing assistance primarily
for the benefit of low to moderate income households . The HCD Program has
partially funded the Dougherty Road Improvement Project .
On motion of Cm. Moffatt , seconded by Cm. Vonheeder , and by unanimous vote,
the Council adopted
RESOLUTION NO. 98 - 84
AUTHORIZING CITY OF DUBLIN PARTICIPATION IN THE
ALAMEDA COUNTY URBAN COUNTY HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
PERSONNEL SYSTEM MODIFICATIONS
At the regular City Council meeting on March 26 , 1984 , the City Council
adopted a Salary and Benefit Plan. This document specified salaries for
existing positions as previously approved. The salaries were not adjusted
to reflect market conditions .
Subsequent to the adoption of the Salary and Benefit Plan additional
positions have been developed. The proposed salaries for those positions
were based on market surveys and they remain unchanged in the proposed
resolution. A survey of the full-time positions has been completed to
determine average salary ranges in comparable positions , within similar
agencies . The positions of Recreation Supervisor and Senior Planner are
unchanged, as these positions were newly established in July of this year .
CM-3-198
Regular Meeting August 27, 1984
The salary ranges recommended were revised to reflect market conditions .
This assures that the City of Dublin will remain competitive in attracting
qualified employees . If salary ranges remain stationary the City may
experience problems with morale, recruiting qualified employees, and
turnover . All of these situations impact the effectiveness of the
organization. The recommended salary ranges have been benchmarked with the
average salary range for comparable positions in those cities identified in
the surveys . Adjustments in employee salaries do not automatically occur as
a result of adjusting salary ranges . All adjustments are based on merit
pursuant to the Personnel Rules .
The development of a personnel system which has the ability to recognize
merit and control the City' s long-term financial obligations are prime
factors in a system. In a traditional system an employee may reach the
maximum salary range and will cease to receive adjustments based on merit .
In order to address this situation under the philosophy discussed above, a
revision to the personnel rules is proposed.
An attached resolution allowed for a one time lump sum payment, when a
written performance evaluation indicates the employee ' s performance would
warrant an adjustment beyond the adopted salary range. The maximum
performance pay adjustment under this provision would be 100 of the
employee ' s annual salary. An employee would be eligible for this type of
adjustment within 30 days of the employee ' s anniversary date . This proposal
allows flexibility to reward exemplary service and at the same time places
limitations on the ongoing obligations of the City ' s salary schedule .
On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder , and by majority vote
( Cm. Hegarty absent ) , the Council adopted
RESOLUTION NO. 99 - 84
ESTABLISHING A SALARY AND BENEFIT PLAN
and
RESOLUTION NO. 100 - 84

BUILDING LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES CONTRACT EVALUATION
On August 1 , 1983 the City entered into agreement with Taugher and
Associates for the provision of Building Law Enforcement Services which
included; Plan Review, Building Inspection, Zoning Enforcement and Housing
Code Enforement . As is customary with other City Contractors, the City
annually reviews the performance of the contract service .
In order to accomplish the evaluation the City Manager ' s Office has prepared
the attached memorandum evaluating the performance of Taugher and
Associates , and has also prepared an evalution form for the City Council to
use in its evaluation of the contractor ' s performance.
CM-3-199
Regular Meeting August 27, 1984
The City ' s Agreement with Taugher and Associates also provides for an annual
review of rates . Mr . Taugher proposed rate increases for the period
beginning August 1 , 1984 and ending July 31 , 1985 .
The rates proposed by Taugher and Associates will not cause the cost of the
service to exceed the existing fees received by the City. The rates
proposed appear reasonable based upon the performance of Taugher and
Associates during the first year of the Agreement .
The City Council reviewed the performance of Taugher and Associates .
On motion of Cm. Moffatt , seconded by Cm. Jeffery, and by unanimous vote
(Cm. Hegarty absent ) , the Council approved the Amendment to the Agreement
reflecting the new rates for 1984-85 and authorized the Mayor to execute
said agreement .
OTHER BUSINESS
Camp Parks - Veterans Cemetary
City Manager Ambrose reported that Staff had been in touch with the Army
Corps of Engineers regarding the disposal of excess property on the Camp
Parks Reserve Training Area and the potential use for that property as a
National Veteran ' s Cemetary. The Army Corps of Engineers indicated that the
disposal report identifies approximately 150 acres on the Camp Parks site as
excess . This property is bounded on the south by the I-580 frontage road, on
the west by the Southern Pacific Railroad, on the north by Third Street and
on the east by the County property.
The Council discussed the City ' s position with regard to the proposed
location of the national cemetary.
Mayor Snyder indicated that he had spoken with Councilmember Bennett from San
Ramon, and Councilmember Bennett indicated that San Ramon would welcome the
site in the rolling hills area on the Contra Costa County side of the
property.
The Council directed Staff to prepare a resolution indicating their support
of a national cemetary, but simply objecting to the location. The Council
felt the cemetary could be more appropriately located in the aesthetically
