Attached is the Final Report prepared by the Task Force which summarizes the findings and recommendations of the Task Force. The Task Force officially convened on December 9 , 1987 and met on a biweekly basis from January 13 to April 27 , 1988 . Three avenues were used to solicit community responses to the Task Force premise, namely survey questionnaires , oral presentations to the Task Force by community group leaders , and private discussions between residents and Task Force members. A summary of the responses received is contained in the Final Report. The Task Force recommendations are divided into three phases as follows : PHASE I Near term, moderate cost, high impact, high profile actions which directly affect a large number of residents , whose implementation would be viewed favorably by a majority of residents or whose implementation would unquestionably serve to improve Dublin ' s community image. - Install outdoor lighting at all Dublin elementary, middle and high schools. - Repair and upgrade all elementary and middle school athletic fields to better accommodate baseball/softball and soccer practices. - Renovate Little Theatre at Dublin High School. - Repair and upgrade Dublin High School athletic fields and courts . PHASE II High cost projects with broad appeal to a large segment of the community. Build a new gymnasium at Wells Middle School. - Renovate Dublin High School (DHS) athletic fields and courts. ----------------------------------------------------------------- COPIES TO: Task Force Members ITEM NO. ,/ s r PHASE III Projects in all cost ranges directly affecting relatively few residents , but whose completion would serve to improve Dublin ' s community image. Renovate tennis courts at Dublin High School. Improve undeveloped play area in Cronin Park. A detailed description of the aforementioned recommendations is contained in the Final Report. The implementation plan for the suggested improvements can be found in the Final Report, but generally the Task Force recommends that the City and the School District establish a contractual relationship and that a decision be made with regards to the funding that is likely to be available for the improvements. It is the recommendation of staff that the City Council handle this item as follows : 1 ) Receive an oral presentation from the Task Force Chairperson. 2 ) Deliberate on the findings and recommendations as identified in the Final Report. If the City Council is in favor of proceeding with any or all of the suggested improvements , it is staffs recommendation that the Council authorize staff to seek the services of a professional landscape architect to prepare cost estimates for the improvements. It is anticipated that a study such as this could be accomplished in four to six weeks and cost approximately $4 ,000 . Once cost estimates are determined it is recommended that the City Council and the Dublin Joint Unified School District Board schedule a joint study session for the purpose of discussing the proposed improvements. The desired result of the joint meeting would be to make decisions with regards to those improvements to pursue, as well as a timeline and implementation and financing plan. r DUBLIN SCHOOLS FACILITIES IMPROVEMENT TASK FORCE FINAL REPORT L L L MAY 1908 L 8155 Peppertree Road Dublin, CA 94568 May 2, 1988 Dublin City Council City of Dublin P. 0.

Formation of the Task Force was approved by the Dublin City Council in February, 1987, and the Task Force members selected in November , 1987. The Task Force first convened in December , 1987 and has been meeting on a biweekly basis since early January, 1988. Initially, the Task Force was named "Dublin High School Grounds Improvement Task Force" with a stated purpose to "investigate the need for additional indoor and outdoor facilities for community use and identify those areas of Dublin High School that could be upgraded to fulfill this need". However, it was a consensus view that the Task Force scope should be broadened to include all Dublin school facilities, rather than concentrating exclusively on Dublin High School. Additionally, the Task Force felt that cultural and social facilities needs, as well as those for recreation, should be specifically identified in defining our purpose. Consequently, the Task Force name was modified and the purpose restated as follows: Evaluate the Community' s needs for access to additional indoor and outdoor cultural, social and recreational facilities. Identify those areas within the Dublin School District that could be repaired and/or upgraded, using City of Dublin funds, to fill these needs. 1.2 BACKGROUND The impetus for the Task Force came from the Principal of Dublin High School, Joan Mackay King. The playing fields and other facilities at Dublin High School (and all other community elementary and middle schools) had rapidly deteriorated over the past ten years, principally due to the substantial reduction in funding for schools by the State occasioned by the passage of Proposition 13. As a consequence, Mrs. King approached the City's Recreation Department in October , 1986, and suggested a "deal" that would allow the Recreation Department free use of the DSFITF.FinalReport.1 Page 1 facilities at Dublin High School in exchange for assistance which would contribute to the maintenance of the School' s athletic fields and courts. The request was considered by the Parks and Recreation Commission in November , 1986. The Commission was not only in favor of providing maintenance assistance, but also wanted to consider assistance to improve the playing fields and other facilities. A subcommittee was then formed to work with Dublin High School staff to investigate the feasibility of the proposal and to determine actual projects in which the City would participate. In January, 1987, the City Council was presented with a formal request for maintenance assistance from Dublin High School, as well as a list of proposed projects in which the City was requested to participate, identified by the Commission. The Council felt the requests had merit, and directed staff to develop guidelines for establishing a Task Force to study the issue. These guidelines were developed and approved in February, 1987 , and the process of selecting Task Force members was begun. Task Force members were officially appointed in November, 1987. The facility improvement aspect of the mutual benefit relationship, as originally conceived, seemed relatively obvious. Less obvious but equally important to the Task Force was the degree to which the City of Dublin and the community at large would benefit from increased access to Dublin School District facilities. These basic premises became the cornerstones of the Task Force investigation. DSFITF.FinalReport.l Page 2 2.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Task Force identified several areas where the community's cultural, social and recreational needs could be satisfied by repairing or upgrading Dublin School District facilities. It also found Dublin School District representatives at all levels willing and eager to make facilities available to the community, as long as direct conflict with scheduled school programs is avoided and operations/maintenance issues are considered. We sincerely believe a positive and significant synergistic effect would result from the level of cooperation we describe, and confirm that the principal beneficiaries of such cooperation would be the community at large. Three avenues were used to solicit community response to the Task Force premise, namely survey questionnaires, oral presentations to the Task Force by community group leaders and private discussions between residents and Task Force members . Quantitative and qualitative aspects of the responses are covered in the Task Force Methodology section of this Report (Section 5) . Generally, we believe the community understood the "quid pro quo" or mutual contribution/benefit component of the Task Force premise. However, many respondents saw the questionnaires and presentations as a opportunity to express their fundamental concerns with myriad programs and facilities within Dublin, without particular regard for the basic Task Force premise or jurisdictional considerations. Consequently, many responses included comments about Parks and Recreation or Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) facilities, equipment and services. We found such responses helpful as a point of reference but beyond the intended scope of our activities. An extremely broad spectrum of community interests and needs was examined, ranging from simple, relatively inexpensive "quick fix" activities, to complex, capital intensive projects. We promoted this breadth of expression during the information gathering stages of our study, but emphasized fiscal practicality and realistic probabilities of facilities utilization when considering our ultimate recommendations. The recommendation ranking methodology employed by the Task Force was developed by consensus, based on our interpretation of the community's responses to our questionnaire and oral presentations DSFITF.FinalReport.l Page 3 j from community group leaders. A long list of criteria for ranking recommendations was considered, but ultimately the following four were unanimously chosen and used: 0 Personal safety 0 Number of Dublin residents affected by the proposed action 0 Community image 0 Probability of commercial benefit resulting from the proposed action We suggest a three phased approach to implementing our recommendations. Phase I focuses on near term, moderate cost, high impact, high profile projects; a) which directly affect a relatively large number of residents, b) whose implementation would be viewed favorably by a majority of residents or c) whose implementation would unquestionably serve to improve Dublin' s community image. Phase II looks at more costly projects with broad appeal to a large segment of the community. Phase III considers projects at all cost levels which directly affect few residents, but whose implementation would serve to improve Dublin' s community image. No implementation was recommended for projects that impact special interest groups but don' t meet the community image criterion of Phase III. Listed below in outline form are the Task Force Recommendations for Phase I. A full discussion of Phase I, II and III Findings and Recommendations is found in Sections 4 of this Report. Phase numbers indicate our judgment regarding priority, but no particular priority is intended for items shown under each phase. PHASE I 0 Install outdoor lighting at all Dublin elementary, middle and high schools - Walkways - Parking lots DSFITF.FinalReport.l Page 4 0 Repair and upgrade all elementary and middle school athletic fields to better accommodate baseball/softball and/or soccer practices - Grading - Irrigation and Landscaping - Backstops 0 Renovate Little Theatre at Dublin High School - Painting - Stage Lighting - Seating 0 Repair and upgrade Dublin High School's athletic fields and courts as follows: - Replace present football goal posts with goal posts that meet current safety standards. - Reposition football field sprinkler system. - Grade and/or fill low/irregular areas on football, soccer and baseball fields. - Replant mid-field and bench areas of stadium field - Remove and reposition track field event facilities. - Remove imbedded cement yard marker holders along football field sidelines; fill and replant. - Replace cinder track with an all-weather surface. - Upgrade game field lighting. DSFITF.FinalReport.l Page 5 - Relocate entrance of Chapman Field and ancillary facilities (ticket booth, snack bar , etc. ) to Brighton Street. - Replace damaged and missing tennis court wind screens. A description of the methods employed by the Task Force is provided in Section 3 of this Report, and our findings are detailed in Section 4 . The rationale for each of our recommendations follows in Section 5, and an implementation strategy is presented in Section 6. Finally, several exhibits are presented for general reference in Section 7, some of which illustrate data we considered in reaching our conclusions. DSFITF.FinalReport.l Page 6 i 3.0 TASK FORCE METHODS The Task Force officially convened December 9, 1987, and met on a biweekly basis from January 13 - April 27, 1988. At the outset, a work plan was developed specifying objectives, tasks, resources and timelines. A work breakdown structure was defined in the following form: 0 Develop global "wishlist" of types of facilities that potentially would meet the criteria for repair/upgrade. 0 Develop "Inventory of Facilities" matrix. 0 Confirm goals/objectives/purpose. 0 Develop community group contact data base. 0 Develop and implement publicity strategy. 0 Develop questionnaire form and questionnaire solicitation strategy. 0 Develop community group leader oral presentation/interview strategy. 0 Plan and execute Task Force tour of representative elementary, middle and high school facilities. 0 Develop data consolidation and reporting methods. 0 Develop needs assessment and recommendation ranking criteria. 0 Develop Final Report Outline and Draft. 0 Develop Final Report. Generation of the "wishlist" was an initial exercise to introduce the Task Force participants to one another , to reinforce the relatively unconstrained nature of our assignment, and to assure we began our work with a mutual understanding of scope and limitations. DSFITS.FinalReport.l Page 7 The Inventory of Facilities (Exhibit 7.2) was developed by Parks and Recreation and gave us a reference point regarding existing school and other public entities, and the types of facilities and equipment currently used at each entity. The Community Group Questionnaire/Presentation List (Exhibit 7.3) was researched and published by Task Force members. It was used to organize the community group leader oral presentation portion of our program, which is discussed later in this section. The Task Force contacted local newspapers and a local television station to publicize the questionnaires and the opportunity for group leaders to make presentations to the Task Force. No media interest resulted from these contacts. The most successful forms of publicity were " word of mouth" and school notices. The survey Questionnaire (Exhibit 7.5) , oral presentations by community group leaders and Task Force facilities tours were the keystones of our Task Force work. The Questionnaires were made available to the public through Parks and Recreation, the Dublin School District and individual Task Force members . Over two thousand questionnaires were distributed and 263 responses were received. In many cases group leaders responded on behalf of individual members of their groups, and our totals (see Exhibits 7 . 7 and 7 . 8) suggest approximately 10 , 000 individuals were "covered" by our questionnaire survey. This total is somewhat overstated because some individuals were members of more than one group, e.g., a Little League baseball player was also a soccer player. However, it was the consensus view of the Task Force that the questionnaire responses legitimately represented the collective views of several thousand residents. The oral presentations by community group leaders proved to be a most useful data gathering format, principally because each presentation included a question and answer opportunity. Each group received a questionnaire, either by mail or hand delivered by a Task Force member. Group leaders were later contacted and DSFITS.FinalReport.l Page 8 invited to make a presentation. Without exception, the quality of these presentations was excellent and reflected thoughtful preparation. Listed below are those groups that chose to address the Task Force: Children's Theatre Workshop Dublin High School Band Boosters/Dublin Community Band Dublin High School Football Program Dublin Little League Dublin United Soccer League South Valley Youth Football Tri-Valley Softball The Task Force facilities tour was attended by five Task Force members and several Dublin School District personnel. The tour covered Dublin Elementary, Nielsen Elementary, Murray Elementary, Frederiksen Elementary, Well Middle and Dublin High School. A thorough discussion of this tour is presented in the Findings section (4.0) . In reporting the questionnaire results, three groupings were used; individuals, community groups (organizations) and school staff . The survey questionnaire data was assembled and consolidated using commercial spreadsheet and database software. Exhibits 7.7 and 7.8 give summary level, quantitative results of this data consolidation, while Exhibit 7.9 illustrates typical group tally records. Individual tally records are similar in format to Exhibit 7.9, but are not shown. Exhibits 7.10 and 7.11 summarize and tally the more qualitative questionnaire data. The needs assessment and recommendation ranking criteria were developed on a consensus basis after the data consolidation step was concluded. Based on these criteria, Phase I , II and III recommendations were finalized, also by consensus. The Final Report was then outlined drafted, edited and approved, again by consensus. DSFITS.FinalReport.l Page 9 1 4.0 FINDINGS 4.1 GENERAL We were disappointed in the relatively low number of questionnaire responses we received from the community, and with the general lack of specificity in identifying the community needs for access to additional indoor and outdoor facilities. We also noticed a heavy response with similar or "canned" comments from several individuals in high school and middle school classes which, skewed the totals to some degree. We were looking for instances where a "one to one"- relationship of community need and facility availability existed, e.g. , the. community wanted evening access to a weight room, the High School has a weight room which needs renovation and would be make available to the community after the City funded required renovations. More often we found dissimilar relationships of community need and facility availability, e.g. , the community wanted access to free meeting rooms and the High School athletic groups wanted their playing fields made safe. Moreover , the questionnaire responses were sharply skewed toward facilities repair and upgrade, with expression of community need for additional access to facilities clearly a secondary consideration. As mentioned earlier , we believe these response imbalances occurred because so many respondents saw the questionnaire as an opportunity to express their overall dissatisfaction with facilities throughout Dublin, or their specific dissatisfaction with facilities affecting their particular areas of interest. We sensed they understood the issue and the premise, but purposely chose to focus their comments on facilities inadequacies. We found the community generally does not have a clear idea of the facilities and jurisdictional boundaries of Parks and Recreation, DSRSD and the Dublin School District. Further , the current transition of activities and facilities from the Amador Valley Joint Unified School District to the Dublin Joint Unified School District, and from DSRSD to the City of Dublin is not well understood. As a consequence, several respondents suggested repairs and upgrading of facilities that would not be within the jurisdiction of the Dublin School District, consideration of which we felt was beyond our scope. DSFITF.FinalReport.l Page 10 With all of these negative observations said, the Task Force unreservedly believes the data it gathered is statistically significant and valid, and the recommendations it developed accurately reflect a broad base and cross section of community needs and interest. We believe this because: 0 The content of oral presentations by community group leaders tended to corroborate a large percentage of the questionnaires, the many one-on- one discussions Task Force members have had with interested residents and the Task Force members personal observations . A critique of each presentation is provided as Exhibit 7.4. 0 The data in large measure paralleled the data independently developed in 1983 through a "Dublin Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee" survey program. We found it interesting that so many of the needs expressed then are again expressed today, indicating little has been done to assuage these needs. 0 Poor community "self-esteem" or "self-image" , (what we refer to as "community image" in our recommendation ranking criteria list) was alluded to and criticized time and time again during the course of our work, particularly in group and individual discussion sessions. We have absolutely no doubt that the overwhelming majority of Dublin residents want their community image improved. Similarly, we found strong indications that repair and upgrading of Dublin School District grounds is a generally accepted means of achieving an improved community image. This was an important finding , because many of the Task Force recommendations, particularly in Phase I, focus on repairs and upgrading of High School facilities not widely used by the general public, but whose state of repair is generally acknowledged to influence Dublin's reputation and community image. Without considering this "umbrella" community need, many of the facilities improvements we recommend could not be justified based on numbers of prospective users or participants. DSFITF.FinalReport.1 Page 11 0 Task Force representatives toured most of the Dublin School District facilities. A complete description of our tour findings is presented in Section 4.3. The tour resoundingly confirmed the widespread need for repairs and upgrades to all types of equipment and facilities throughout the District. (We anticipated a moderate level of repair/upgrade requirements, but were surprised with the volume and diversity of problem areas encountered) . We came away from this exercise with an understanding that major facilities repairs and upgrades are definitely necessary, (regardless of the funding source) and with the impression that once improvements are made, a much greater use of facilities by the general public would be likely. 4.2 COMMUNITY NEED The expression of specific community needs fell into two broad categories, namely needs directly associated with Dublin School District facilities and those associated with facilities managed (or likely to be managed) by other public agencies. While only. needs tied to School District facilities fell within the scope of our assessment, needs expressly tied to other facilities are also outlined as a matter of reference. In the Dublin School District category, improved outdoor lighting at all Dublin schools was a frequently expressed need , particularly by group leaders during their oral presentations. The outdoor lighting opportunity is attractive to the Task Force because it seems to have a universal community appeal, due to the number of residents that currently use (or could potentially use) school facilities during evening hours. (Game field and tennis court lighting was also a high profile need) . The need for an additional gymnasium was frequently expressed, as was the need to repair and upgrade fields at elementary and middle schools to accommodate baseball and soccer practice sessions. (The Task Force felt this need met each recommendation criterion and feels it should be given a high priority within Phase I actions. Very detailed requirements were identified by several groups that use the High School athletic fields. Better surfaces on outdoor tennis and basketball courts were another priority need. Improving the condition of the Little Theatre at Dublin High School was another expressed need that would have broad community impact. DSFITF.FinalReport.l Page 12 In the non Dublin School District category, the following needs were cited often enough to bear mentioning: 0 Development of a sophisticated Theatre building. 0 Expansion/upgrading of community library facilities. 0 Better access to, programs for and maintenance of the public swimming pool. 0 Installation of lockers at the public swimming pool. 0 Development of a teen center. 0 Developement of a skateboarding park. 0 Improved playground maintenance. 0 Additional rest rooms at parks. 0 Additional bike, jogging and wilderness trail areas at selected parks. 0 Additional barbecue areas at parks. 0 Additional play equipment at parks and playgrounds. 0 Development of a "showplace" for cultural events. 0 Development of a fitness course. 4.3 ASSESSMENT OF EXISTING FACILITIES The schools grounds site review, which forms the basis for this section, was attended by five Task Force members, two of whom are Park and Recreation Commission members. They toured all Dublin High School playing fields as well as the gymnasium. They also toured all elementary school sites, including those now leased, and the middle school. During the tour, an opportunity arose to discuss grounds upkeep issues with school district maintenance supervisory personnel. DSFITF.FinalReport.l Page 13 a One Task Force member toured Amador Valley High School and Foothill High School playing fields in Pleasanton, and later contrasted (for the Task Force) their well maintained appearance with the relatively poor conditions at Dublin High School. Presented below are excerpts of the findings of the Task Force Site Review Committee: OVERVIEW: Within the Murray School District virtually all of the school grounds play areas were in reasonable shape considering the lack of available funds for the last ten years. All the schools need softball infields upgraded and need irrigation systems revamped. The grounds are used constantly by various sports groups and could be utilized to a much greater extent if proper care were taken. Dublin High School playing fields are a disgrace and show a lack of attention. The grounds are not safe and it is amazing that no serious injuries have occurred on the school grounds. The majority of this report addresses Dublin High School, only because that is clearly the area of greatest need. DUBLIN ELEMENTARY: This is the least maintained of the schools in the Murray School District because it is presently being leased to Valley Christian School. The outdoor basketball back boards are rusty. Grass on the play field is patchy. The irrigation system is old and unreliable, and only covers part of the play field. A sprinkler system expansion is needed to maintain the field during the summer. All asphalt surfaces need reslurrying. NIELSEN ELEMENTARY: Nielsen is contiguous to Mape Park. A cyclone fence separates the two. Removal of the fence would make an enormous field to be used for softball/baseball and soccer, by several teams at the same time. Like Dublin Elementary, the softball infield is nonexistent, the grounds are generally uneven, and the irrigation system is rapidly deteriorating. Much of the area is not landscaped and is overgrown with weeds. There is a drainage ditch with a storm drain which should be separated from the field. Near this ditch is a deep drop in grade. In the middle of the field are an old well and pump which are fenced off. DSFITF.FinalReport.l Page 14 J Also inside the fence are the timer for the sprinkler system and an electrical box. Both the box and timer should be fenced off with a smaller fence and the well could be capped since it is no longer used. MURRAY ELEMENTARY: The playing fields at Murray are typical of the elementary schools playing fields in the City. The softball back stop is intact but the infield is not maintained. The grass areas are only partially irrigated. Note: The infields at all elementary and middle schools could be upgraded for softball use (by adults) and also used as practice fields by Little League teams not old enough to play on the regulation diamonds . There are no softball diamonds for ad hoc use in Dublin. The Sports Grounds offers facilities for those in leagues, but it is difficult to use those diamonds for' pickup games or for children's softball leagues. FREDERIKSEN ELEMENTARY: Unlike the other sites, the field at Frederiksen is totally irrigated. In fact , the grounds are often flooded. These grounds need to be graded and drainage needs to be improved. The basketball courts and blacktop in general are in good shape. WELLS MIDDLE: Wells suffers from uneven ground, half-irrigated fields and a four foot drop in grade near the edge of the property boundary. It also has huge grates in the middle of fields which present a safety problem. The irrigation system at Wells is also in poor shape. DUBLIN HIGH: The tennis courts are in a deplorable condition . The court surfaces are uneven, (causing severe puddling) pitted, cracked and in desperate need of a total resurfacing. Wind breaks are ripped; fencing is crooked. Between the tennis courts and the pool is a large expanse of land which has never been developed. It could be converted into additional practice fields for community sports activities. There are huge mounds of dirt in this area which have not been graded. Storm drains and catch basins have been buried by the dirt in this area. DSFITF.FinalReport.l Page 15 The soccer fields have exposed, raised sprinkler heads throughout. The various field lines have been " burned in" and small "ditches" have developed. The fields are very uneven, bumpy, and have deep holes and ruts in them which create obvious safety hazards. The baseball fields have the wrong type of dirt on the infield; dirt has been dumped in piles in surrounding areas; no visitor bleachers exist and the home bleachers are a makeshift affair ; the infield has ground squirrel holes which are epidemic throughout the grounds of the High School; there is a drastic drop in grade over both fields and the lip of the infield and outfield is very irregular on both fields; valve box holes without covers are found on both fields; there is a significant drop off along the first base line creating a hazard to a running player; there are sprinkler heads at second and third base and in the middle of the infield; the infield, including the area around home plate, is extraordinarily uneven and the grass is patchy . The softball fields are in no better shape. The varsity field has a hard , bare infield . Turf is almost nonexistent. The outfield has holes and sprinkler heads. There are no bleachers or dugouts. The JV field has a gully running along the baselines and sprinkler heads on the fields. The stadium field needs either considerable rehabilitation or complete renovation. The home side bleachers are broken and need total refurbishing . The pressbox steps need replacement. The entrance to the stadium has a storm drain with a deep drop of as much as twelve inches off the track. There is no asphalt or grass at the entrance. The snack bar foundation is collapsing; there is considerable dry rot; the electrical box does not meet code; the conduits do not meet code ; and the waste drain dumps on asphalt behind the snack bar . The snack bar storage shed is also in poor repair and not maintained. DSFITF.FinalReport.l Page 16 i The field itself is very uneven. It needs either selected filling and planting of grass or total refurbishing. The furrowing is so bad (deep) that an extraordinary risk to players exists. Lighting is substandard and should be "beefed up". Cement yard marker holders along each sideline are a hazard and should be removed. Goal posts should be replaced to meet league regulations. The track and field area of the stadium is deplorable. The running pad for the long jump is completely destroyed. The tartan surface has peeled up and broken away from the asphalt. The surface has curled up and is very dangerous to both trackmen and football players. Sand has been removed from the jumping pit, and the ground under the sand is extremely hard. A header is needed to keep the sand in place. The shotput and discus areas are overgrown with weeds, and rocks are strewn throughout. There is nothing remotely resembling a field in this area. We believe all field event areas and facilities should be upgraded and moved so they do not create safety hazards for trackmen and football players. Sufficient space exists to relocate these facilities in the general vicinity of the track. The gymnasium has had trouble with a leaky roof for years. As a result the floor has bubbled, the finish has peeled and the ceiling and walls are water damaged. Dry rot exists. Equipment lockers desperately need repair. The outdoor basketball courts need to be reslurried, metal nets installed and selected repairs to back boards and hoops made. DSFITF.FinalReport.l Page 17 5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS As mentioned earlier, we chose to separate our recommendations into phases. A qualifying description for each of our three phases precedes the list of recommendations for each phase. Also, the criteria met follows each recommendation. As noted earlier, no particular priority is intended for items shown under each phase. PHASE I Near term, moderate cost, high impact, high profile actions which directly affect a large number of residents, whose implementation would be viewed favorably by a majority of residents or whose implementation would unquestionably serve to improve Dublin 's community image. 0 Install outdoor lighting at all Dublin elementary, middle and high schools. This action was selected due to the number and cross secticn of responses and comments received, and because of our perception that outdoor lighting along the walkways and parking lots would benefit the community as a whole, since so many public events and activities occur at the various Dublin schools. (Safety/Number of Users/Community Image) 0 Repair and upgrade all elementary and middle school athletic fields to better accommodate baseball/softball and soccer practices. This was the most often expressed community need based on oral presentations, and a mid-level need based on questionnaire responses. The Task Force felt addressing this need in a comprehensive manner would have the greatest positive impact on the community at large . ( Safety/Number of Users/Community Image) DSFITF.FinalReport. 1 Page 18 t 0 Renovate Little Theatre at Dublin High School. The need for additional or improved theater facilities was mentioned often. We learned that major upgrades were impractical at Dublin High School because of structural constraints, but that meaningful improvements could be made with some simple cosmetic actions such as painting , installing stage lighting fixtures, and installing additional seating. We were also convinced that a broad cross section of the community attends Little Theatre events and would benefit from this modest assistance. (Number of Users/Community Image) 0 Repair and upgrade Dublin High School athletic fields and courts. The various individuals and groups aligned with this issue were well informed and armed with very specific detail regarding the condition of facilities and their particular needs . As a consequence, the Task Force was able to address these concerns at a lower level of detail than was possible for others. Initially, we were inclined to dismiss the Dublin High School athletic field related needs because the actions suggested by proponents seemed to benefit only relatively small, interscholastic athletic organizations. However, two factors influenced our reconsideration of this position. First, the Dublin High School fields and courts issue represented 15% of the qualitative questionnaire responses and was far and away the most often cited community need voiced in questionnaires and oral presentations. While to some degree this represents a concerted effort by staff and students to complete as many questionnaires as possible, we were impressed with the number of non staff/student responses, and were particularly impressed by the oral presentations focusing on this issue. Secondly, there was strong testimony throughout our deliberations suggesting the condition of athletic fields at the local High School is very much a community image concern, and although most DSFITF.FinalReport.l Page 19 residents don' t use the fields themselves, they want them to be respectable and reasonably attractive . We ultimately decided the the following action items met the "viewed favorably" and "unquestionably serve to improve Dublin' s community image" conditions we imposed on Phase I recommendations, and when coupled with the obvious safety concerns , felt they were compelling . (Community Image/Safety) - Replace present football goal posts with goal posts that meet current safety standards. - Reposition football field sprinkler system so that sprinkler heads are removed from the playing surface. - Grade and/or fill low/irregular areas on soccer , baseball and football fields and landscape accordingly. - Replant mid-field and bench areas of the stadium field. - Remove and relocate track and field event facilities. - Remove imbedded cement yard marker holders along sidelines , fill and landscape as appropriate. - Replace cinder track with an all weather surface. Note : We realize this may not meet the "moderate cost" condition, but felt it should be looked at closely because it would: a) be an attractive enhancement for the many residents that are runners and joggers; b) tend to anchor the other field improvement and make an immediate "image" impact. - Upgrade stadium field lighting. DSFITF.FinalReport.l Page 20 - Relocate entrance of Chapman Field and relocate ancillary facilities, (ticket booth, snack bar, etc.) to Brighton Street. Note: This action addresses a frequently voiced complaint about the lack of proper walkways from the parking lot and the school grounds to the stadium. Install wind screens on tennis court fences. PHASE II High cost projects with broad appeal to a large segment of the community. 0 Build a new gymnasium at Wells Middle School. There was a moderate (7%) questionnaire response citing this community need. Additionally, residents initiated a substantial number of personal contacts with Task Force members, specifically to lobby for a new gymnasium. We realize many avenues are being explored to address the gymnasium issue , and that funding such a facility is a complicated and expensive proposition. However , we feel this recommendation is appropriate as it underscores a very explicitly expressed community need. 0 Renovate Dublin High School (DHS) Athletic Fields and Courts The recommendations advanced in Phase I which relate to Dublin High School are , with one exception, relatively inexpensive, "quick fix" actions related to safety and community image. However , we have been advised by engineering and maintenance professionals that the entire playing field area at DHS needs to be renovated. In addition, there are obvious infrastructural repair and upgrade actions which are necessary and reasonable. Determining the most efficient, cost effective way to accomplish the DHS field related actions recommended for Phase I and II is an engineering DSFITF.FinalReport.l Page 21 1 and project management issue, and well beyond our scope. We are aware that certain efficiencies would be realized if these actions were approached on an integrated basis. However, we feel strongly that near term actions are needed at DHS fields and courts, and urge Phase II actions be moved to Phase I if total project integration is necessary from an engineering standpoint. Listed below are specific renovation actions: - Landscape unused areas creating baseball and soccer practice fields specifically dedicated to community youth programs. - Resurface all soccer , softball , baseball and football playing fields (practice and game) . - Install improved stadium lighting and additional lighting on soccer , softball and baseball fields. - Renovate stadium bleachers. - Install bleachers at baseball and softball fields. - Renovate stadium press box. - Replace stadium sound system. - Construct new ticket booth, snack bar and permanent toilets near relocated entrance (recommended in Phase I) . - Install pay telephones at convenient location near stadium. - Repair/Upgrade stadium scoreboard. - Upgrade locker room facilities. - Resurface outdoor basketball courts - Rehabilitate basketball goals. DSFITF.FinalReport.l Page 22 Phase III Projects in all cost ranges directly affecting relatively few residents, but whose completion would serve to improve Dublin' s community image. 0 Renovate tennis courts at Dublin High School. This was the second most frequently cited community need (related to school district facilities) . Its position was influenced by heavy returns of student questionnaires, but many non students also expressed an interest in seeing these courts repaired and resurfaced, with new nets installed. We rank it as a Phase III action principally because we perceive the use of these courts , even when renovated , will affect a moderate number of Dublin residents. 0 Improve undeveloped play area in Cronin Park. This is a Phase III action because of the relatively few residents affected. An analysis of the complaint/remedy/suggestion input from the questionnaires reveals concerns and needs related to several existing non school district facilities. The need to improve parks, playgrounds and the Shannon Center was prominently mentioned , as were community swimming pool and teen center facility and program issues. Theatre and band facilities, and cultural arts and museum related facilities were also frequently cited. Generally , the Task Force felt these needs could not be realistically met using school district facilities , and consequently they are mentioned only in passing. One noteworthy exception is a frequently expressed need for .access to "free" meeting rooms and a large congregation hall. We have heard the new city hall may provide the type of meeting facilities so often suggested by residents during our investigations. But if the city hall facilities are not entirely adequate, space at Dublin High School could be configured and, with a moderate level investment, made suitable and dedicated for community meeting room purposes . DSFITF.FinalReport.l Page 23 I We would recommend such investment be a Phase II priority if it becomes clear that the new city hall won' t meet the community' s meeting room needs. Although the Task Force has primarily recommended repairing and renovating athletic facilities (principally at the high school) , the benefits which will accrue from this program will favor a broad cross section of the community. Specifically, in addition to the meeting rooms mentioned above, the School District has cooking facilities , art facilities (ceramics, oils , etc . ) , business facilities (typewriters, computers etc.) , weightroom, auto shop, photography facilities , wood shop, and other facilities which would accommodate frequently requested adult education classes. In conclusion, the Task Force sincerely believes approval of this mutual aid concept by the City of Dublin and the Dublin School District will establish a framework allowing these public agencies to work together for the advantage of the entire community. DSFITF.FinalReport.l Page 24 6.0 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN It is difficult to recommend a comprehensive implementation plan without budget information. However , we have set forth below steps in an implementation process which we feel are logical and practicable insofar as the Task Force recommendations are concerned. 1. The City Council reviews the Task Force Final Report. If they conclude there is general merit in the Task Force' s recommendations (without concentrating on particular recommendations) , then formally acknowledge their approval and begin addressing steps 2-7 below. 2. Negotiate and finalize the contractual relationship between the City of Dublin and Dublin School District. 3. Establish a budget line item to fund the recommendations. Decide what range of funding is likely to be available over the next three years. 4. From existing budgets or contingency funds, earmark a modest amount to fund near term assistance that will be highly visible and have an effect on programs in the next school year, e.g. Phase I recommendations. 5. Develop order of magnitude cost estimates for all recommended actions. 6. Review the phasing and recommendations, integrating cost and budget parameters with the other ranking criteria. 7. Organize and plan projects over a three year horizon, with detailed engineering and construction planning for the near term projects. Begin work on the projects affecting the 1989 school year by July, 1988.

They utilize the Little Theatre at DHS for rehearsal space and they also perform 4-5 shows per year there. Typically they rehearse four nights per week from 7-9:30 P.M. They have a good working relationship with DHS but their practices and productions sometimes conflict with DHS activities. They do not pay for rehearsal time but pay $17.00 per hour for custodial support at performances. They are currently looking for one facility in the Valley that could house all rehearsals and performances, thus eliminating the need to constantly move. The Theatre at DHS works well for the types of show CTW performs. However, these improvement suggestions were offered: - Repaint walls and ceilings with darker hues and tones. - Improve stage lighting. - Improve seating by installing portable risers. The Little Theatre could not be renovated to meet the needs of high production theatre. Also, a "multi-use" facility doubling as a theatre historically compromises other uses and serves poorly as a theatre. The ideal building for CTW or other theatre groups would be a tilt-up building on a slab with a free standing ceiling that will support a catwalk with stage lighting, and where seating would be moveable. From Mr . Jorgenson ' s perspective, before Dublin seriously considers a theatre they need to determine what kind of arts and DSFITF.FinalReport.l Exhibit 7.4 Page 1 cultural programs the community (and Valley) will support and whether local theatre groups and outside professional productions could coexist. Mr. Jorgenson feels the theatre at Amador High School is good but that the Valley needs another facility. Dublin High School Band Boosters/Dublin Community Band - Michael Dawe The DHS band is a marching , field show and concert band. They have a very active parent booster club and their main fundraiser is a weekly bingo game held at Dublin High School facilities. The band room at DHS is good but the practice fields used to rehearse field shows are very poor. (These are the same soccer and football practice fields mentioned elsewhere) . The DHS cafeteria is used for bingo and has ventilation problems. The DHS Little Theatre is used for some performances, but is too small and has poor acoustics. The following improvements and additions were recommended: - Upgrade practice fields. - Improve outdoor lighting (on practice fields so evening rehearsals are possible) . - Construct outdoor amphitheatre. - Decrease rates at Shannon Center for better accessibility. - Promote a "City Band Review" in conjunction with St. Patrick's Day parade. Dublin High School Football Program - Steve Hickey (Chiropractic Physician and Team Physician) Dr. Hickey is the Team Physician for the Varsity, JV and Freshman football teams. He indicated that the football field, both game and practice , are in deplorable condition and expressed his DSFITF.FinalReport.l Exhibit 7.4 Page 2 amazement that the Dublin School District continues to allow their use in such condition, as he feels they would be found negligent and liable if a serious injury occurred. He further stated that there is a high probability that a serious injury could occur with the fields in their current condition. Dr. Hickey recommended the following immediate remedial actions : - All fields need to be resurfaced to remove potholes, ruts, bare spots, etc. - Goal posts should be replaced with regulation versions, and then padded. - Field lighting should be upgraded, as should lighting on school grounds and in parking lots which affects spectators. - Track and field event facilities in close proximity to the football field should be removed to protect both football players and trackmen. - Cement down marker bases should be removed. - Easily accessible restrooms should be provided for both players and spectators. - A telephone should be provided near the stadium for emergency purposes. Dr. Hickey provided photographs of unacceptable field conditions, which are submitted with the Mayor's copy of this Final Report. Dublin Little League - Jack Climer Dublin Little League is in its 25th year serving youth from 6-18 years of age. For 1988, they have just under 400 children, with most falling in the 6-10 year age group. The season runs from March 1 to June 30, with some tournaments scheduled in July. All games are played at the Dublin Sports Grounds except for the Senior League which also uses the diamond at Dublin High School. Practices are held at schools, parks and DSG. There are not DSFITF.FinalReport.l Exhibit 7.4 Page 3 enough practice fields available to accommodate all the teams that want to hold after school practices. Currently, there are enough playing fields to accommodate league needs, but if the City continues to grow, there will be a shortage. Mr . Climer explained that according to National Little League Charter, once a city reaches a population of 20,000, the existing league must be split into two divisions. When this happens, use of facilities will have to be coordinated between two organizations, which usually causes field shortages and scheduling difficulties. Mr. Climer separated his problems/concerns into four categories: Problems with elementary and middle school practice fields. - Maintained poorly - safety problem. - Not configured as baseball diamonds. - Backstops are too small. - No access to restrooms. - Close proximity to houses. - No lights. Problems with Sports Grounds - Adult softball at opposite end of DSG attracts undesirable element which leaves Little League facilities untidy. - Bases, pitching rubbers and bleachers are property of DLL but get vandalized. - Snackbar , which is the biggest non fee fundraiser , is too small and has electricity problems. - No access for emergency vehicles at east end of field. - Wind DSFITF.FinalReport.l Exhibit 7.4 Page 4 League Concerns - Rising costs, especially insurance. - Belief DLL should not have to pay the same level of fees for field use as do other such as Tri-Valley Softball and Christian School. Other - Over the past few years, DLL has not been been able to use the DHS regulation diamond, for political and personal reasons. This year the Dublin High School baseball coach is supportive of the Little League program and is working with them to coordinate field use. Although the School District says fields are available, historically coaches have had the final say! a Dublin United Soccer League - Jim Stephens DUSL is the oldest soccer league in the Tri- Valley, and also the smallest. Typically 800 children between 4 1/2 and 18 year old are enrolled in their program. Practice begins in early August with the season running from September 1 to December 15. Recreational and competitive programs are offered. Games are played at Dublin Sports Grounds and practices are held at schools , parks etc. The practice fields are a big problem as they are not well maintained. Also, there is a lack of practice fields on the west side of the City, the area where the greatest growth is occurring . The quality of the playing fields at DSG generally has improved but the usage fees are deemed too high. Field number five does need some work. Currently, DUSL does not use the DHS soccer fields very often because they are in such poor condition . However , if these fields were improved, state and regional championship games could be attracted . Fees to participate are $40.00 for the first child and $20 .00 for each additional child in a family. However, no one is turned away for inability to pay. DSFITF.FinalReport.l Exhibit 7.4 Page 5 South Valley Youth Football - Lance Nielsen South Valley Youth Football is in it's 20th year serving youth 8-14 years of age. 150-200 children each year are enrolled, including football player, cheerleaders and songleaders. The season runs from August 1 to November 15. The Dublin High School stadium and practice fields, locker room, cafeteria and classrooms are used by the program. The relationship with the High School is good. Generally, fees are not paid to the High School; instead improvements to facilities are made. SVYF charges fees for participation, but most of their revenue comes from fundraisers, e.g. , snack bar , fireworks sales, bake sales. Immediate Needs - Recondition or resod fields. - Replace and pad goal posts. - Install pay phones for emergencies. - Install toilet facilities. - Construct walkways from parking lots to fields and locker rooms to fields. - Remodel or replace snack bar to include cold and hot running water. - Replace sound system. DSFITF.FinalReport.l Exhibit 7.4 Page 6 Other Problems Faulty scoreboard. Public address system electrical faults. Future Needs Larger snackbar. Improved bleachers and locker room. Move snackbar and main gate to Brighton Street. Renovate press box and include field phone system. Replace public address system. Expand practice fields. Improve lighting. Tri-Valley Softball - Bruce Patchin Tri-Valley Softball is an adult softball league with 600-700 players. Games are played at DSG five nights a week, spring through autumn. There is no residency requirement, so anyone can join. The League does not see a need for additional fields, but have the following recommendations for improvements at DSG. - Plant trees to reduce the wind problem. - Add sand to grassy areas on fields. - Level dirt in infields. - Install bleachers. - Install locks on equipment boxes at fields.
