FORMATION OF COUNTY SERVICE AREA FOR BRIDGES
1 .
Assistant City Manager Rankin advised the Council that the County
presently maintains 3 estuary bridges that lay within the incorporated
limits of the Cities of Oakland and Alameda, but serve the entire County.
Special District Augmentation Funds could be used to maintain the bridges
if the County forms a County Service Area. This fund was created by
State Legislature Assembly Bill 8 .
Cm. Snyder questioned if this was being formed as the other County
Service Areas, whereby we can become a part if we so desire.

Mr. Rankin advised that the reason for forming this CSA is to utilize the
special district funds. There is no financial impact to the City at this
time. The County has committed to negotiate with the Cities if
additional funding is required from the Cities.
Cm. Snyder stated he wanted to clarify that residents will not see this
on their tax bill.
On motion of Cm. Hegarty, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder, and by unanimous
vote, the Council adopted
RESOLUTION NO. 138 - 88
CONSENTING TO INCLUSION IN THE ALAMEDA COUNTY,
COUNTY SERVICE AREA FOR BRIDGES
* * * *
MEASURE E - DRUG PREVENTION MEASURE
Assistant City Manager Rankin explained that Ed Campbell, Chairman of the
Alameda County Board of Supervisors, has requested that the City endorse
Measure E which has been placed on the November 8th ballot. Measure E
would place a $10 parcel tax per benefit unit throughout the County for
the purpose of funding Drug Prevention Programs in schools, after school
sports, and recreation programs, as well as other activities aimed at
discouraging drug. use. It is estimated that the City of Dublin would
receive funding of $99, 262 in the first year of the program if it is
approved by the voters.
Mayor Jeffery clarified that this amount is to be used for drug
prevention and education.
Mr. Rankin advised that they consider latchkey programs and recreation
programs to be one way of preventing youth from becoming involved in
drugs.
Cm. Moffatt questioned if the funds would be administered by the City or
the County.
Mr. Rankin stated that it was his understanding that the funds will be
distributed by the County to local agencies. There will most likely be
an application process whereby the use of funds must meet their criteria.
Cm. Snyder felt it should be pointed out that Dublin's portion of $99, 262
will be less 15%. The 15% was to be used for countywide programs and
administration.
Cm. Vonheeder stated that she attended a session last week at the San
Diego League Conference on latchkey and childcare programs. She brought
back some brochures which she had given to Diane Lowart to pass on to the
Park & Recreation Commission. A city with a population of 15, 000 has
managed to fund 2 childcare centers with the assistance of a school
district in some abandoned school buildings. One of the things that they
CM-7-311
Regular Meeting October 24, 1988
discovered through this was that their drug problem significantly
decreased. We may be able to look to this funding for a similar program
in Dublin.
Cm. Snyder stated it should be made clear that this is a first as far as
this type of program, i.e. , prevention rather than remedial.
On motion of Cm. Vonheeder, seconded by Cm. Snyder, and by unanimous
vote, the Council agreed to endorse Measure E.
* * * *
PUBLIC HEARING
REQUEST FOR 20 MINUTE PARKING ZONE IN FRONT OF 6908 SIERRA COURT
Mayor Jeffery opened the public hearing.
Ty Tekawa with TJKM advised that the City received a request from the
owner of Equinox Press, 6908 Sierra Court, for a small area of 20 minute
parking along the curb in front of the building. This company is one of
the few businesses along Sierra Court that has in and out trade. On-
street parking is generally taken by employees of other businesses in the
area.
TJKM investigated the request and determined that a 20 minute parking
zone for a few cars would not present a safety hazard. Notices have been
mailed to other offices in the same building, as well as neighboring
properties, advising them of the public hearing. Most of these buildings
have on-site parking lots.
Cm. Moffatt questioned if other businesses in the area could use this
parking. Mr. Tekawa advised that they could. It can be used by anyone
for 20 minute parking.
No members of the public spoke on this item.
Mayor Jeffery closed the public hearing.
On motion of Cm. Snyder, seconded by Cm. Hegarty, and by unanimous vote,
the Council waived the reading and INTRODUCED an ordinance establishing a
20 minute parking zone at 6908 Sierra Court.
PUBLIC HEARING - REQUEST FOR STOP SIGNS
ON SILVERGATE DRIVE @ ROLLING HILLS DRIVE AND ESTABLISHMENT OF
NO PARKING ZONE ON SILVERGATE DRIVE ADJACENT TO ROLLING HILLS CIRCLE
Mayor Jeffery opened the public hearing.
Staff advised that the City has received a letter from Community
Associations Consulting, representing the Silvergate Highlands Townhouses
Owners' Association, requesting installation of stop signs on Silvergate
CM-7-312
Regular Meeting October 24, 1988
Drive @ Rolling Hills Drive. The letter explained that there are 2
common areas within the townhouse development which are on opposite sides
of Silvergate Drive and are used by all residents. The residents must
cross Silvergate in order to use the common areas. The Association
members felt it would be safer for the residents crossing Silvergate
Drive if stop signs were installed.
TJKM performed a field survey of this area and considered traffic
volumes, accident history, sight distance and critical speeds. TJKM' s
report indicated that while the minimum traffic volume warrants for all-
way stop signs for this intersection have not been satisfied, sight
distance conditions, especially for drivers on Silvergate Drive turning
left onto Rolling Hills Drive or Rolling Hills Circle, are such that TJKM
does recommend installation of stop signs at this intersection.
TJKM felt that the stop signs would preclude the requested 125' of no
parking zone south of Rolling Hills Circle on the east side of Silvergate
Drive, and therefore, did not recommend this no parking zone. This area
is adjacent to the townhouses only, and there is no residential frontage.
TJKM also recommended that the suggestion be made to the Townhouses
Homeowners' Association that the landscaping be monitored to ensure clear
visibility for drivers exiting Rolling Hills Circle, and also that the
newspaper racks be moved if at all possible.
Ann Books indicated she was in favor of stop signs. She felt they would
help to slow traffic down.
Mayor Jeffery closed the public hearing.
On motion of Cm. Hegarty, seconded by Cm. Moffatt, and by unanimous vote,
the Council adopted
RESOLUTION NO. 139 - 88
DESIGNATING PLACEMENT OF STOP SIGNS ON SILVERGATE DRIVE
@ THE INTERSECTION OF ROLLING HILLS DRIVE/ROLLING HILLS CIRCLE
The Council determined by a consensus that the requested no parking zone
would not be implemented.

PUBLIC HEARING - ABANDONMENT OF STUB END OF
ROLLING HILLS DRIVE AND ABANDONMENT OF PARCEL A, TRACT 4991
Mayor Jeffery opened the public hearing.
Staff advised that on October 10th, the Council held public hearings
regarding the abandonment of the stub end of Rolling Hills Drive (east of
Creekside Drive) , and the abandonment of Parcel A of Tract 4991 . Both
items were continued in order to further research the City' s control over
the construction and design of a proposed DSRSD pump station to be
located on the stub end of Rolling Hills Drive and in order to
investigate the subjects of drainage and weed abatement that were raised
by the Council and the public.
CM-7-313
Regular Meeting October 24, 1988
Staff provided background information and advised that at the time that
Tract 4991 (K&B single family homes) was developed, Rolling Hills Drive
was perceived as being a through street that would cross Creekside Drive
and continue east into the yet-undeveloped Tract 5402 (Dolan School
site) . The City accepted the dedication of Rolling Hills Drive,
including the stub end east of Creekside Drive. Because the City felt
that the street connection might also be located elsewhere along
Creekside Drive, the developer was requested to offer the entire Parcel A
for dedication; however, Parcel A was not accepted at the time the Final
Map was approved.
When Tract 5402 was developed as Vista Green Terrace, Iglesia Drive
became the connector street. At the meeting of October 10th, the
rejection of a portion of Parcel A was rescinded and the portion of
Iglesia Drive that crosses Parcel A was accepted.
With regard to the DSRSD pump station, .'Staff advised that a meeting was
held with DSRSD and it was determined that the only structure to appear
above ground would be a couple of vent pipes and caps that would project
about 1 ' above the surface. The pump station, similar to one existing on
Shannon Avenue, appear to make very little noise and were observed to be
audible only if one stands right next to it.
At the October 10th meeting, several residents commented on the condition
of the open space portions of the Tract which are to ultimately be turned
over to the homeowners' association. The association has hired the firm
of Metro Management to maintain this area when they receive it. While
this area would not be subject to the Property Maintenance Ordinance,
weeds (as well as rubbish, refuse and dirt) may be abated according to
the provisions of Government Code Sections 39560 et. seq. The Dougherty
Regional Fire Authority is able to react to complaints regarding fire
hazards due to weeds and other materials.
Drainage concerns and problems were addressed. Storm drains have now
been completed through the Dolan site, and much of Bordeaux Estates has
been developed. Tract 5402 is still under the developer's one year
warranty and Castle Construction has been asked to make repairs to Mr.
Walker' s catch basin (8042 Iglesia Drive) , in order to minimize the
possibility of future problems .
Staff summarized that since Parcel A is entirely within the control of
K & B, insofar as maintenance is concerned, and since the City can use
this for no purpose other than street right-of-way, the City should adopt
a resolution abandoning Rolling Hills Drive east of Creekside Drive. The
stub end of Rolling Hills Drive was accepted by the City as street
right-of-way, but is not needed as a public street. DSRSD has requested
reservation of an easement for water lines and appurtenant structures.
If the City does not abandon this stub end of street right-of-way, there
would be some control over the construction of the pump station; however,
the City would then be obligated to maintain that piece of property and
would be subject to claims if any injuries were suffered on the property.
CM-7-314
Regular Meeting October 24, 1988
City Engineer Thompson showed slides of several pump stations, and then
introduced Bob Whitley, District Engineer with Dublin San Ramon Services
District.
Mr. Whitley explained why DSRSD is proposing a pump station and how they
got to this point. The proposal is to build an underground water pump
station. The structure will be built initially to house 2 pumps and will
eventually contain 3 . They will have about 20 hp motors and some
ventilation fans to clear the underground atmosphere, and will be about
10, x 201 . Most of it will be underground with 2 protrusions. They
understand that various concerns have been expressed regarding the
affects on the neighborhood. They will be attempting to take all of the
concerns into consideration. Mr. Whitley showed an artists rendering.
He stressed that this was a preliminary concept and the final design
would respond to neighborhood concerns. He explained that this pump
station has been planned since 1982-83 when the land was originally
proposed to be developed. There was an agreement between the developers
and the District.
Fire Chief. Harold Ritter explained that weed abatement is very different
for the hillside development as opposed to the flatlands. They are
currently addressing the various means and it appears that everything
that will work has some negatives associated with it.
Mike Hammer who lives in the K & B development stated that when he bought
his house, he was promised that the open space would remain. The only
open space is pretty much just discarded space. It now appears that
Bordeaux has gone belly up. The entire area looks like a wasteland and
it is a fire hazard. He questioned why they are paying $14/month in
homeowners association fees .
Alfred Bilotti, 8116 Creekside Drive, indicated that he did not
understand why this issue keeps coming up; the property belongs to Tract
4991 . It should. go to the homeowners of K & B. The property should be
turned over to the homeowners association.
Chris Books indicated that he owns the property directly west at 8078
Creekside. When he purchased the property he paid a lot premium which
was for an unobstructed view. It was represented to him that Parcel A
would be deeded to the homeowners association.
Bill Myers, 8136 Creekside Drive stated he felt the property should be
deeded to the homeowners association.
John Lewis stated that he lives on the corner of Creekside Drive &
Iglesia Drive. He has the small lot adjoining his property which is a
weed farm. He would like to have it included in his lot.
Mr. Thompson advised that it has been expressed by K & B that this piece
of property will be deeded to Mr. Lewis, once the City abandons the offer
of dedication.
CM-7-315
Regular Meeting October 24, 1988
Gary Lofren, 8058 Creekside Drive indicated that he paid a lot of money
for his view lot and was told that the parcel in question would remain
open.
John Walker advised that he was impressed with the City street dividers
that have been put in. He felt that if K & B wants this land, they
should assume liability and landscape it. He questioned what the
homeowners association would be doing with it.
Jeff Grist, 8050 Iglesia Drive stated that whatever is done, there needs
to be a decision made. He was told that there is no premium for a view
unless the people have it in their contract. If he ,decides to plant
trees in his back yard, they could eventually obstruct someone' s view.
If this strip is public property, anyone can go on it and anyone would be
liable if something happens.
Ann Books indicated she lives over on the Creekside Drive side. The way
the houses below are situated, it will take many years for trees to grow
enough to block views. The problem they have with seeing this property
being given to the people below, is that as soon as they get the property
they will put their fences up and trees will be planted and their view
will be completely blocked. Currently, they can' t even see the rooftops
of the homes below them. If they put an 8' fence at the top of the
street, however, this will affect their view. She indicated that the
hills were there before these people bought their homes. If any
children go there and play and get hurt, it is the responsibility of the
association. She did not feel that the land should belong to personal
individuals.
Mayor Jeffery explained that the Council's action at this meeting would
not deed this property to anyone. The issue before the Council is
whether or not the City should release the street easement on the
property.
-L-ee Thompson stated that this is an offer of dedication which has been
rejected by the City. What we are saying on Parcel A is that we have no
need for a street anymore, since Iglesia now goes through. K & B
currently owns the property, but there is a clouded title because of the
offer of an easement to the City.
Mr. Grist questioned if the beautification laws of the City would apply
if they take over the property. He also asked if there was a time limit
on when they would have to landscape it.
Mayor Jeffery advised that the question of weed abatement could be
addressed, but not the landscaping.
Jim Levine, representing K & B stated he wished to reiterate that they
simply are trying to tie up loose ends. They are quite concerned about
K & B owners above Creekside Drive with regard to maintaining their
unobstructed view. This is why they have not turned the property over to
individual property owners. They want to turn the land over to the
CM-7-316
Regular Meeting October 24, 1988
homeowners association. He has been in touch with management of the
association; and they have a draft letter all ready to . send, pending the
Council' s action at this meeting. Mr. Levine stated that it is hoped
that the homeowners association will accept the offer. K & B will comply
with fire regulations and clean up the parcel, but they do not intend to
keep it. They are not in the landholding business. Currently, each
property owner's payment of $14/month does not go to maintain this
parcel.
Cm. Vonheeder questioned the intention of K & B with regard to the
property adjoining 7925 Iglesia Drive.
Mr. Levine indicated that the homeowner has been approached, and it is
their intention to deed the property to this property owner. This
particular property does not obstruct anyone's view.
City Attorney Nave advised that there may be a legal way to accomplish
everyone' s desires, assuming that the homeowners association did not want
to accept this offer from K & B. This would be for K & B to deed the
land to the contiguous landowners and impose an equitable servitude
restricting any fence from being visible at a plane equal to the
elevation of the adjoining sidewalk on Creekside Drive.
Kim Hammer, 7859 Creekside Drive indicated she would like to see the
small parcel behind her house turned over to the property owner of 7925
Iglesia Drive, in order that the property can be landscaped.
John Walker questioned why the City Council is letting K & B build houses
then leave this piece of garbage. They should landscape it with ivy or
ice plant and put in an irrigation system.
Bill Myers advised that some of the difficulty is that people are
wondering where their $14/month is going. They aren't sure if K & B has
major control of the association, or whether they still have to wait for
-the other development to occur.
Mr. Levine advised that K & B has absolutely no interest in the community
association any longer.
Mr. Thompson advised that there is a homeowners association which has
hired a management firm and they have a board of directors. He advised
that he did not know who is on this board.
Mr. Levine stated that a management group was hired by the community
association to run the association. He indicated that they are in
existence and are not controlled by Bordeaux; however, they are waiting
for Bordeaux to complete their landscaping to merge the two. Mr. Levine
advised that he had a listing of the board of directors in his office if
the people wanted to contact him there.
CM-7-317
Regular Meeting October 24, 1988
Mr. Bilotti of Creekside Drive stated he felt sorry for the people who
live down below because they say that people walk on the sidewalk and
look down at their homes and see their pools, etc. When then bought
their property, they also didn' t know that anyone would be living above
them. He felt the conditions behind his house were much worse than what
these people have.
Mayor Jeffery requested that the comments be kept to the subject at hand.
Mr. Bilotti stated that because Bordeaux Estates have the most number of
votes on the association, they control the board.
Mayor Jeffery closed the public hearing.
Cm. Vonheeder questioned if there were any requirements in the Conditions
of Approval for K. & B which would require them to landscape the open
space prior to its dedication to the homeowners association.
Mr. Thompson advised that the first tentative map was done by Nielsen
with 7 individual subdivisions. The first part was just houses that were
sold to K & B and the open space all went with Bordeaux Estates .
Bordeaux then subdivided their 3 parcels and 1 has since been defaulted
on and has gone to another entity. K & B was required to develop a land-
scaping plan for the open space above Creekside Drive. Bordeaux is
required to put trees in as part of their development.
Cm. Vonheeder stated there is nothing to keep K & B from deeding this
land to the homeowners, even though it has a clouded title due to the
City' s easement.
City Attorney Nave stated that if the Council adopts tonight's
resolutions, there will no longer be a cloud on it.
Cm. Snyder felt the only question here is whether the City intends to
develop a street. The only question is are we going to use the easement.
Cm. Vonheeder stated the point she wanted to make is that ownership is
not the issue. Even the maintenance of the space is not the City' s issue
to deal with. '
Cm. Moffatt felt the reason for holding the easement was for the City to
have some say regarding the type of structure for the pump station which
will be put in by DSRSD.
Cm. Hegarty stated that DSRSD must apply for an encroachment permit and
at that time we can put restrictions on it. If we give up the easement,
they do not have to come to us for a permit. Cm. Hegarty expressed
concern that people are bringing up issues that don' t relate to the issue
at hand. The County approved this in 1978, and by the time the final map
was approved it was too late to make any adjustments to the open space.
He questioned why the City did not have information on file related to
the homeowners association.
CM-7-318

On motion of Cm. Snyder, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder, and by unanimous
vote, the Council adopted

MEASURE AA - EAST BAY REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT BOND
Recreation Director Lowart advised that the East Bay Regional Park
District has asked that cities consider lending their support to Measure
AA, the Regional Open Space, Wildlife, Shoreline and Park Bond. The
City' s Park & Recreation Commission reviewed the provisions of Measure AA
at their October -11 , 1988 meeting, and have recommended that the City go
on record in support of the bond measure.
If approved by the voters, this proposed $225 million bond measure would
be issued in increments of $45 million each at 3-year intervals between
1989 and 2001 . Each bond would have a lifetime of 25 years. Seventy-
five percent of the bond sale proceeds would be used by the Regional Park
District and the remaining 25% would be distributed to local park and
recreation agencies within the District on a per capita population basis,
to be used for local projects.
The maximum tax rate required to service the bond debt would be $. 01 per
$100 assessed valuation. The beginning annual cost would be $5 . 72 for a
property assessed at $100, 000 . Average annual household cost for the
total bond issue would be $5 . 63, or $.47 per month. The highest cost
would be $.81 per month in the year 2001 , with progressively lower rates
thereafter as the bonds are fully retired.
Ms . Lowart advised that preliminary estimates indicate that Dublin' s
share of the bond proceeds would be $639, 303 . These funds could be used
to offset the approximate $1 , 226, 560 in unfunded park projects in the
1988-93 Capital Improvement Program.
Cm. Snyder asked is Ms . Lowart could elaborate on the $56 million figure
that was indicated on literature to be the amount that would be shared by
cities,. special districts and service areas. He questioned if this was a
built in carrot to get cities to buy into the program.
Ms. Lowart advised that this is 25% of the $225 million bond. When East
Bay Regional Park District initially talked about doing a bond, they went
to city and park and recreation people asking for their support and
CM-7-319
Regular Meeting October 24, 1988
griginally proposed a 20% payback 'to the cities. At one time, the cities
were asking for close to 50%, and since the East Bay Park District is
sponsoring the measure, they compromised at 25%.
Doug Abbott, 8206 Rhoda Avenue, Chairman of the Tri-Valley Regional
Sierra Club, advised the Council that the Sierra Club endorses the park
bond measure. They feel it is vitally important to acquire this land now
before it goes into development and before it gets anymore expensive. He
pointed out that the majority of the City Councils in both Contra Costa
and Alameda Counties have endorsed Measure AA.
Cm. Vonheeder asked if it is the Park District's intent to acquire any
public lands already owned by the flood district or Alameda County, etc. ,
or just private lands:
Bruce Walker, the Campaign Chairman for Measure AA, indicated that he
does not work for the Park District, but rather for the campaign. They
are actually addressing their master plan, and he suspected that it would
be mostly private land. There are 50 different projects that would be
funded by the bond, as well as 139 miles of trails.
Cm. Moffatt questioned if the money will be primarily to buy land or to
develop parks.
Mr. Walker stated it is primarily to buy. Acquisition is the primary
thought on these monies . The East Bay Regional Parks had 12 million
visitors last year. This is more than Yosemite, Grand Canyon and
Yellowstone combined. This is a 25 year plan and looks toward the
future.
Cm. Vonheeder stated it was her understanding that a couple of years ago
they were the largest park district in the United States in terms of
acres owned.
Marjorie LeBar, 11707 Juarez Lane stated she was present representing the
.Preserve Area Ridgelands Committee, which has been active in the Valley
since 1972, and they urged the Council to endorse Measure AA.
Mayor Jeffery felt the Council basically had 3 options in dealing with
this item. They could endorse the measure, take no position, or not
endorse it.
Cm. Hegarty stated he is all for parks, but was concerned with what they
will do with it. You can fly over any state and observe that there is a
lot of barren land. Some of the land you can' t even get to. He
indicated he would like more discussion on what they are actually going
to do. He would rather see money going into providing better access for
the general public.
Both Mayor Jeffery and Cm. Vonheeder stated this is of concern to them
also. Not a lot of effort by the District has been put into developing
existing lands .
CM-7-320
Regular Meeting October 24, 1988
Mr. Walker stated this is to implement their master plan. They did a
similar thing in 1.934 in that they had a vision of the future.
Ms . LeBar advised that specific portions of the master plan are to
provide good public access.
Cm. Hegarty stated that most of the parks that Dublin has developed were
on land that was dedicated to the City.
Cm. Moffatt felt that passive parks have their place also, as part of the
ecological balance of living in this area:
On motion of Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. Snyder, and by majority vote,
the Council adopted
RESOLUTION NO. 142 - 88
SUPPORTING MEASURE AA, EAST BAY REGIONAL PARR DISTRICT
REGIONAL OPEN SPACE, WILDLIFE, SHORELINE AND PARR BOND
Mayor Jeffery and Cm. Hegarty abstained from voting on this issue.

OTHER BUSINESS
San Ramon Valley Senior Council
Cm. Snyder expressed concern regarding a. letter received from Marge Stout
with regard to the San Ramon Valley. Senior Council. He questioned what
Dublin' s responsibility is in this area. The letter appears to be a
threat or coersion. If we participate, what is the benefit to us?
Recreation Director Lowart advised that Staff is preparing to bring a
report to the next meeting. She stated that Dublin does not have a
direct responsibility to this group. What has happened is that prior to
'incorporation of both Dublin and San Ramon, the group met here in Dublin.
Although Dublin' s activities are included in their newsletter, the
activities are primarily for Contra Costa County, which is appropriate
since the major funding is from Contra Costa County. Ms. Lowart
reiterated that this will be a future agenda item.

Letters from Joseph Stawicki.
Cm. Snyder stated he was quite upset over allegations made in 2 letters
that were forwarded to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors from Mr.
Joseph Stawicki .
Staff was directed to prepare a letter informing Mr. Stawicki of his
misunderstandings .

Cm. Vonheeder stated that while attending the League of California Cities
conference in San Diego last week, some of the Councilmembers had an
opportunity to visit Escondido' s new Civic Center. Escondido has
produced some informational brochures related to their new center and Cm.
Vonheeder suggested that as we get closer to completion, Dublin should
consider a similar approach.
