RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE
DUBLIN UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
IDENTIFYING PRELIMINARY BOND PROJECT PRIORITIES
FOR MEASURE H BOND PROJECTS
WHEREAS, the Dublin Unified School District (the "District ") is committed to providing quality
education to its students which includes providing safe and adequate school facilities; and
WHEREAS, the District has undertaken a comprehensive facilities master planning process and
has formed a Facilities Master Planning Committee (the "Committee ") to help evaluate the facility needs
at each school site, including school overcrowding; and
WHEREAS, the Facilities Master Planning Committee is working toward the completion of a
Facilities Master Plan which, among other things, identifies the District's current and future facilities
needs which are currently estimated to require approximately $ in total funding, and an analysis of
financing options available to the District, which includes obtaining financing through the passage of a
local general obligation bond measure; and
WHEREAS, on March 8, 2016, in an effort to obtain a local funding source for facility's needs,
the District Board of Trustees adopted a resolution calling a general obligation bond election to be held
in the District on June 7, 2016, at which time voters will be asked to approve the issuance of up to $283
million in general obligation bonds (the "2016 Bond Measure ") for the purpose of financing the types of
projects identified in the full text of the ballot measure; and
WHEREAS, numerous factors contribute to the development of a list of project priorities, which
once developed, must necessarily be revisited, revised and updated as programs and needs in the
District change resulting in the need to reevaluate facilities and equipment needs for the District's current
and future educational programs; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees at this time desires to identify certain priority projects it intends
to finance from the proceeds of the 2016 Bond Measure, if successful, based on information available
to it at this time;
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE
DUBLIN UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Recitals. The forgoing recitals are true and correct.
Section 2. Preliminary Bond Project Priority List. The list set forth in Exhibit A hereto
summarizes the Board's current intention regarding bond project funding priorities. If the 2016 Bond
Measure is successful, District staff is directed to pursue project funding from bond proceeds based on
the attached list. In the event the Board becomes aware of information or circumstances which require
modification of said priorities, the Board may, by resolution or motion, modify any of the provisions and
priorities set forth in Exhibit A.
Section 3. Effective Date. This resolution shall take effect on and after its
adoption.
The foregoing Resolution was adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Dublin
Unified School District of Alameda County, being the Board authorized by law to make
the designations therein contained by the following vote, on March 29, 2016.

OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
ENDORSING DUBLIN UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT'S
2016 BOND MEASURE - (MEASURE H)
WHEREAS, Dublin Unified School District provides an excellent education to local students,
preparing them to succeed in college and future careers; and
WHEREAS, quality local schools make the City of Dublin a desirable place to live and attract
families to our community, keeping property values strong; and

WHEREAS, Dublin Unified School District assesses the highest level of developer fees allowed
by state law for school construction and expansion; and
WHEREAS, some schools are forty -five to fifty years old and are in need of updates to meet
current safety codes and provide modern classrooms; and
WHEREAS, prior to 2014, the State funded up to forty percent of school construction costs to
address growth in student enrollment; and

developers pay their share to fund school construction costs; and
WHEREAS, without Measure H, the fees developers pay to fund school construction are
expected to decrease by half; and
WHEREAS, Measure H will prevent overcrowding and build the first phase of a second high
school, upgrade our aging schools and make improvements district -wide to ensure all students
have access to a high - quality, modern education; and
WHEREAS, Measure H provides locally - controlled funding that cannot be taken away by the
State; and
WHEREAS, Measure H funds cannot be used for administrators', teachers' or any school
employees' salaries, benefits or pensions; and
WHEREAS, both independent financial and performance auditors and an independent citizens'
oversight committee will review expenditures to ensure funds are spent as promised.
