ALAMEDA COUNTY SENIOR HOUSING PROGRAMS PROPOSAL
Staff advised the Council that in April of this year, the Alameda County
Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution approving the preparation of a
proposal to develop housing in Alameda County for very low income seniors and
the disabled, to be financed through the issuance of general obligation
bonds . The resolution directed Alameda County' s Planning Director to work
with Alameda County cities and other affected County departments to develop
the proposal.
An Alameda County Senior Housing Technical Advisory Committee was formed,
made up of representatives of the cities (including Dublin) , County Staff, a
non-profit housing development corporation and representatives from
California Congress of Seniors . It was the Committee' s responsibility to
develop the proposal for presentation to the Board of Supervisors.
In July, the City Council adopted a resolution endorsing, in principle, a
general obligation bond issue. Other jurisdictions throughout the County
adopted similar resolutions. In October, the Committee ' s proposal was
submitted to the Board of Supervisors for review. The proposal was accepted.
The Board of Supervisors directed that the proposal be presented to the
Conference of Mayors and the city councils of each city in the County for
approval . The Mayors ' Conference endorsed the proposal in late October. To
date, 11 of 14 Alameda County cities have endorsed the program.
Staff advised the Council that their endorsement of this proposal would
include the following issues : 1) The issuance of a $142, 782, 000 general
obligation bond to finance the development of between 1, 700 and 2, 000 units
of housing for very low income seniors and the disabled throughout the
County. This will be decided through a Countywide election to authorize the
implementation of the program in either June or November of 1988; 2 ) the City
will participate in the program by having an allocation of at least 50 units
of this housing to be developed in the City, if the program is supported by
CM-6-354
Regular Meeting December 14, 1987
com ' .•�,
Alameda County voters. The City Council will have the power to approve or
deny any proposal submitted to the City through this program; 3) General
obligation bond monies utilized to develop these units in Dublin would be
paid for by Dublin property owners through property tax assessment at a
minimum of $20 and a maximum of $25 per year per $100, 000 of assessed
property values. The assessment would occur for a period of at least 20
years and would not exceed 40 years, depending upon the interest rate at
which the bond is financed. The assessments would affect all taxable
properties in the County. Two other important issues pertain to ownership
and management. In both cases, the final decision on who owns the land and
who manages the property will be made by the County, with full consideration
of the City's input.
Cm. Hegarty questioned the legal aspects of who owns the property.
Planning Director Tong reported that it is Staff' s understanding that it is
the County' s Legal Counsel ' s opinion that they would own the property.
Cm. Moffatt questioned if Dublin uses the land at Arroyo Vista which is
Federally owned by HUD, would the ownership pass to the County.
Mr. Tong indicated that a hypothetical situation was discussed of developing
on the vacant portion of Arroyo Vista. The County has indicated the
possibility of some type of joint ownership.
City Manager Ambrose indicated that when the Arroyo Vista property was
transferred to the Dublin Housing Authority, not all of the property was
encumbered by the note. The undeveloped parcel belongs to the Dublin Housing
Authority rather than HUD.
Jack Shepherd addressed the Council and explained the program in detail. He
indicated that since early discussions, ownership has been a controversial
issue. The question of ownership and management is completely open for
discussion. The County will definitely not manage the units.
Mayor Jeffery questioned if this proposal covers only capital costs.
Mr. Shepherd indicated yes and explained how the decision making process will
work.
Mayor Jeffery questioned if someone living in this project would still be
eligible for Section 8 funds.
Mr. Shepherd indicated that the policy decision up to this point has been not
to allow this.
Cm. Moffatt questioned if the cap of $25 per $100, 000 assessed valuation was
actually based on market value.
Mr. Shepherd explained how the assessed value works based on Proposition 13.
They cannot guarantee the $25 figure. They could come in with as low as $17
or $18 assessment, but they don't want to mislead the voters.
CM-6-355
Regular Meeting December 14, 1987
Cm. Hegarty stated that if Dublin is allowed 50 units and 800 or 900 would be
used in the entire area, what is the priority for the Valley.
Mr. Shepherd clarified the figures. The Valley has 50 for each of the 3
Cities, plus 150 that will be in a pool. Representatives from each of the 3
Cities plus 1 County representative will decide this.
Cm. Snyder questioned if this is the best thing to do for the seniors and
handicapped individuals.
Mr. Shepherd indicated that the issue has been reviewed and the report
encourages smaller projects of 30 to 50 units. The advantage to the progra..L
is that it is a local program. They looked at a Seattle project which was
very successful . At this point, they are still dealing with a general
outline. They have not yet crossed all the is and. dotted all the i 's.
Cm. Hegarty expressed concern regarding the tax issue. Comments that he has
received indicate that people don't want anyone to start messing around with
their taxes. In order for this to be successful, it must be explained
correctly. There is a definite need for this type of housing, but it must be
presented carefully.
On motion of Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder, and by unanimous vote,
the Council adopted
RESOLUTION NO. 100 - 87
ENDORSING PARTICIPATION BY THE CITY IN A COUNTYWIDE PROGRAM FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT, CONSTRUCTION AND ACQUISITION .OF MULTI-FAMILY RENTAL HOUSING
DEVELOPMENTS FOR VERY LOW INCOME ELDERLY AND DISABLED PERSONS
PROCLAMATION
Mayor Jeffery read a proclamation declaring the week of December 13-19, 1987
as "Drunk & Drugged Driving Awareness Week" . In 1986, 2, 543 persons dies on
California roadways in alcohol/drug related collisions and an additional
69, 876 persons were injured. An increase in public awareness of the problems
of drunk and drugged driving may help sustain current efforts to develop
comprehensive solutions at the State and local levels .
* * * *
CASA (Citizens Against Substance Abuse)
June Jardini, 3894 Hot Springs Court, Pleasanton, addressed the Council
regarding a newly formed group, Citizens Against Substance Abuse. She
requested the support of Dublin in order to educate the community in an
effort to stop alcohol and drug abuse. We cannot afford to lose another
generation to drugs. This program is being geared not only to students, but
also to parents. She would like to see a program whereby churches, schools,
seniors , businesses, and media are all involved.
CM-'6-356
Regular Meeting December 14, 1987
Mayor Jeffery requested that Ms. Jardini provide more information on what
activities CASA will be planning.

AWARDING CONTRACT 87-10 TO LAWRENCE JOHNSON CONSTRUCTION
FOR SENIOR CENTER REMODEL
($86,532)
and authorized the Mayor to execute the agreement.
Cm. Hegarty stated that on the Warrant Register he had noticed a payment for
Police vehicle tires, and he wanted to question the frequency with which
tires are purchased for the Police vehicles. City Manager Ambrose indicated
that he has looked into this and the Police Department averages about 15, 000
miles per tire rather than the 40, 000 miles that most average drivers
receive. He has checked with other Police Departments, and it appears that
because of the special type of usage, this is a realistic expectancy figure.
Cm. Snyder pointed out that the Police Department has a very different kind
of usage than the average driver.

PUBLIC HEARING .
CREST ENTERPRISES AND THENEW EWE
Mayor Jeffery opened the public hearing.
Staff advised that this Applicant is requesting -approval to rezone one of
three parcels of property within the Heritage Park Planned Development
District (1362nd Z.U. ) . The Applicant is' requesting to expand the types of
uses permitted on Site A at 11873 Dublin Boulevard (Green Store) to include
medical offices and labs, health club/fitness center, and beauty and tanning
salon uses in addition to the bank, savings and loan institution and
restaurant uses currently identified as permitted use on this parcel in the
existing Planned Development. Under the existing PD, the Applicant's parcel,
Site A, and the adjacent parcel to the east, Site B, is restricted in use to
a bank or savings and loan institution or restaurant. ., The third and largest
parcel, Site C, is limited to office use for business, administrative or
professional services.
The Applicant's parcel contains 29 on-site parking spaces and shares
reciprocal ingress, egress, and parking easements with Sites B and C. The
total number of parking spaces provided for the three sites is 483 +.
The New Ewe proposes to occupy approximately 3,280 square feet of floor area
within the Green Store building, and is proposed as a women's health club,
offering aerobic classes, personal care programs, and a beauty and tanning
salon for members. The specific uses for the remaining floor area is
undetermined at this time; however, Crest Enterprises indicates that the area
formerly occupied as a bar will likely continue as a bar. The basement area
(approximately 1, 960 square feet of floor area) is currently vacant, and
Crest Enterprises anticipates that this area will be used as medical offices
if the rezoning is approved.
On November 2nd and November 16th, the Planning Commission considered the
Applicant's request and at the November 16th meeting, adopted a resolution
recommending the City Council approve the Ordinance and general provisions
for the rezoning to permit the medical office, beauty and tanning salons, and
health club. The original application considered by the Planning Commission
included a request to allow a massage therapist. The Planning Commission
recommended denial of the massage therapist, finding the use was not
compatible with the C-0 District. The massage therapist is no longer under
consideration, as the Applicant withdrew the request, subsequent to the
Planning Commission' s recommendation.
The proposal has been reviewed by other City agencies and the Building
Department has noted that some construction on the site has occured without
building permits. Zoning Investigation has also noted that the Applicant has
attempted to occupy the site prior to securing the needed zoning district
change and related permits.
Cm. Moffatt questioned the provision and use of health facilities, since the
building is being broken up into 3 areas.
Planning Director Tong reported that they would have to comply with
CM-6-358
Regular Meeting December 14, 1987
applicable building codes.
Chief Building Official Taugher reported that the number of restrooms is
determined per site, and the tenants must decide on the location, etc.
Cm.. Hegarty: questioned if they were asking for a change in the =PD. Mr�. Tong
responded yes, to a portion of the property.
James Kleimer, Alamo, addressed the Council, stating that he represented
himself, as well as Design Consultant for the New Ewe. He stated that with
regard to Staff' s report of construction going on at the site, there is
nothing going on that requires building permits. He has been doing work in
the bar area redecorating, but nothing that would require a permit. The New
Ewe has a lease on the building, and he felt that that should certainly
entitle them to go onto the premises.
Mayor Jeffery closed the public hearing. *
Cm. Hegarty stated he is very familiar with this project as he has been
involved with it for a number of years. It has not turned out the way it was
hoped. The Green Store building was nominated by the National Historical
Association, which is an honor just to receive this type of a nomination.
Mr. Nichandros tried it as a restaurant and for whateverreasons, this did not
work out. Now, they come in 6 years later requesting to change the uses.
Cm. Hegarty did not feel that the mesh of medical offices, a bar, and an
exercise studio are compatible. The massage studio application was pulled,
for which he is thankful . Parking was another concern of Cm. Hegarty. In
summary, Cm. Hegarty felt worried about traffic and about how this building
will maintain its integrity.
Cm. Snyder expressed concern that in 1982, the Council appeared to have
jumped through hoops to allow Mr. Nichandros to do what he was trying to do
with this building. It is not now appropriate to change the types of
businesses on this corner. Cm. Snyder also expressed strong concern
regarding the integrity of this building, both the interior and exterior,
based on the requirements which were established in 1982.
Mayor Jeffery advised that Dublin has only 2 buildings considered historical
in nature and this happens to be one of them. This one is the most visible.
The original intent in allowing this building special privileges was in order
to try and save the building for these historical purposes. Mayor Jeffery
stated she could not envision any doctor who would rent office space below a
bar.
On motion of Cm. Hegarty, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder, and by majority vote,
the Council agreed to continue this item to the Council meeting on .
December 21, 1987, in order to give Mr. Nichandros an opportunity to appear
personally and address the Council. Cm. Snyder voted against this motion.

PUBLIC HEARING - ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING MINIMUM STANDARDS AND PROVIDING
REGULATIONS FOR GRADING, CONSTRUCTION, AND MAINTENANCE OF LANDFILLS AND
EXCAVATION & FOR CONTROL OF EROSION & SEDIMENT & REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 19-82
Mayor Jeffery opened the public hearing.
Staff, advised that this ordinance, which was introduced at the ,Council
meeting of November 23rd, serves the same purpose as the County of Alameda
grading ordinance (Title 7, Chapter 9 of the Alameda County Code) , which the
City adopted by reference.
The ordinance establishes minimum design and construction standards, provides
regulations for grading, excavating, and erosion control, and outlines a
procedure for obtaining permits. Specific requirements for preparation and
submittal of plans and for interim and final geotechnical reports are
delineated.
This ordinance will allow the Public Works Director to waive full-time
geotechnical inspection when the grading is of a minor nature and
intermittent inspections and testing can assure proper compaction and soil
placement. A question was raised at the November 23rd meeting regarding this
ability to waive permit requirements. The intent is for Staff to fully
evaluate the permittee' s scope of work before making such a decision.
No members of the public expressed a desire to speak on this issue.
Mayor Jeffery closed the public hearing.
On motion of Cm. Vonheeder, seconded by Cm. Moffatt, and by unanimous vote,
the Council waived the reading and adopted
ORDINANCE NO. 56 - 87

Mayor Jeffery opened the public hearing.
This ordinance, which was introduced at the November 23rd Council meeting, is
a part of the comprehensive Municipal Code revision process. The ordinance
specifies that any person desiring to operate a bingo game within the
corporate limits of the City of Dublin would make application for license
with the City Manager.
An Applicant, as a condition of license issuance, consents to the examination
and audit of its records, at reasonable times, by authorized City
representatives.
No members of the public expressed a desire to speak on this issue.

OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE, 1985 .UNIFORM PLUMBING CODE, 1985 UNIFORM
MECHANICAL CODE, 1985 UNIFORM HOUSING CODE & 1987 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
Mayor Jeffery opened the public hearing.
This ordinance was introduced at the Counci•1 meeting of November 23rd. At
that meeting, Staff was directed to meet with the Fire Chief and interested
development community members to attempt to work out acceptable standards on
sprinklers in residential areas of the City. A meeting was held on
December 4th, and a revised ordinance on sprinklers is being developed. This
ordinance will be presented at a future Council meeting.
As a result of Council direction, revisions were made related to the use of
plastic drain, waste, and vent pipe in residential buildings over two
stories.
Section 17958. 5. of the Health and Safety Code provides that whenever cities
adopt the Uniform Codes, cities -may make changes or modifications to the
. requirements contained in the State Building Standards. Code as it determines
are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geologic or topographical
e
conditions. Th City may also make- modifications to the Uniform Codes as are
reasonably necessary because of. local conditions.
Mayor Jeffery closed the public hearing.
Cm. Hegarty questioned the changes related to how the findings were made
according to the resolution. He was under the impression that changes were
made because of modern technology and the fact that we sit on an earthquake
fault.
Mr. Taugher reported that the findings to which Cm. Hegarty refers were made
a few months ago with regard to a specific project.. State Law specifies the
conditions under which we must make findings.
On motion of Cm. Snyder, seconded by Cm. Hegarty, and by unanimous vote, the
Council waived the reading and adopted

PUBLIC HEARING
ORDINANCE PROVIDING PROCEDURE FOR ABATEMENT OF ABANDONED VEHICLES
Mayor Jeffery opened the public hearing.
Staff advised that numerous problems are associated with --abandoned vehicles,
from the issue of public health and safety to the deterioration and blight of
our neighborhoods. An abandoned vehicle is defined as any vehicle which has
been left on private or public property, other than highways, and in which
the owner has no active interest and no intent to again claim a right or
interest. The draft ordinance provides for the abatement and removal of
these vehicles from public and private property. This program is
administered by the City Manager and enforced by any duly authorized
representative.
Excluded from this ordinance is a vehicle or part thereof which is completely
enclosed within a building in a lawful manner where it is not visible from
the street or other public or private property. Also excluded is the
operation of a lawfully conducted business or commercial enterprise.
Chief Severini indicated that he anticipates that about 95% of their
involvement will be on a complaint basis .
No members of the public expressed a desire to speak on this issue.
Mayor Jeffery closed the public hearing.
On motion of Cm. Hegarty, seconded by Cm.. Vonheeder, and by unanimous vote,
the Council waived the reading and INTRODUCED an ordinance providing a
procedure for abatement of abandoned vehicles.

PUBLIC HEARING
ORDINANCE REGULATING PUBLIC DANCES
Mayor Jeffery opened the public hearing.
Staff advised that this draft ordinance, which is part of the comprehensive
Municipal Code revision process, is similar to the ordinance which was
temporarily adopted by the City upon incorporation. The ordinance regulates
public dances and requires the issuance of a dance permit for the event to be
lawful . The. intent is to regulate dances in facilities open to the public
that occur with regular frequency, and where alcoholic beverages are
typically consumed. A permit shall not be required for any dance held by a
bona fide patriotic, religious, fraternal association or organization, or
held -in connection with any holiday or authorized school activities .
Chief Severini mentioned that there are currently 5 business establishments
in Dublin where dancing occurs . Of these businesses, 2 have valid dance
permits.
Cm. Snyder questioned under Section 3, Exceptions, why service organizations
(Rotary, Soroptimist, Lyons, etc. ) were not included as these groups are some
of the more predominant groups that hold dances.
Assistant City Attorney Silver indicated that she would review this section
and bring it back before the Council .
Mayor Jeffery questioned why the wording "held in connection with any
holiday" needed to be included, and further, if anyone can have a dance.
Ms. Silver pointed out that Section 3 spells out the exceptions for obtaining
a permit. She reported that she and Chief Severini would meet to clarify
other issues.
No members of the public expressed a desire to speak on this issue..
Mayor Jeffery closed the public hearing.
On motion of Cm. Hegarty, seconded by Cm. Snyder, and by unanimous vote, the
Council waived the reading and INTRODUCED an ordinance regulating public
dances, with an addition in Section 3 to include "service organizations" and
deletion of "held in connection with any holiday" .

EASTBOUND DUBLIN BOULEVARD @ VILLAGE PARKWAY, SECOND LEFT TURN LANE
Staff was directed at a previous meeting to investigate the feasibility of
creating a second left turn lane for eastbound Dublin Boulevard @ Village
Parkway. This second left turn lane is consistent with the ultimate planned
improvements for Dublin Boulevard.
CM-6-363
Regular Meeting December 14, 1987
TJKM has studied the proposed improvement and finds that the intersection
level of service would be. .improved significantly by .this `proposed
modification. The overall cycle length would be significantly shortened, :
which would improve the perceived. signal operation for vehicles in other .
movements, and the lengths of the queues at other approaches. would be
reduced.
The required- modifications were explained and discussed. TJKM recommended
prohibiting parking for an additional 420 -feet on Dublin Boulevard under
I-680 and in front of the Dublin Cinema. Discussion was held regarding the
possible conflict involving traffic turning right from westbound Dublin
Boulevard onto northbound Village Parkway. TJKM recommended retaining the
existing yield sign. Also recommended was that the westbound right turn lane
be striped an additional 80 feet .further east in order- to more clearly
delineate where a vehicle turning right must make the commitment to turn
right.
Construction costs for these improvements were estimated to be between
$10, 000 and $15, 000, including signal modification, detector modification and
striping. An additional $3, 000 to $5, 000 will be needed to prepare design
drawings and specifications and. for project administration and inspection:
Staff recommended that the Council authorize the 80 feet of striping for the
westbound right turn lane and direct Staff to .proceed with-one of the
options: a) include the .total project in the proposed 1988-89 Capital
Improvement Program (design as well as construction) ; or b) proceed with the
design phase of the project at this time and include the construction phase
cost in the proposed 1988-89 CIP. If option b is selected,- a budget transfer
.. in the amount of $5, 000.--would be necessary. Staff estimates that the design
process will require approximately two to three months to complete, and it is
anticipated that Staff would request approval from the City Council to
solicit bids on this project during the current Fiscal Year, with construc-
tion to take place in July of 1988 so that construction costs would fall into
the 1988-89 Fiscal Year.
Cm. Snyder indicated that he was glad to see this come before the City
Council . There is a conflict with regard to the free right turn movement
from westbound Dublin Boulevard onto northbound Village Parkway.
Chris Kinzel, TJKM, indicated that this conflicting situation was pondered at
great lengths. Currently the right turn movement is regulated by a yield
sign. Mr. Kinzel discussed 3 possible alternatives, and felt that the best
solution was to remove the island and bring the right turn movement under
traffic signal control. They are suggesting, however, that this solution be
deferred until the future configuration of the intersection is done.
Cm. Moffatt- questioned if we are going to be modifying Dublin Boulevard
within the next year or two.
City Manager Ambrose indicated that it is scheduled further in the future.
At this time, it will only be necessary to saw cut portions of the pavement.
-CM-6-364
Regular Meeting December -14, 1987
On motion of Cm. Vonheeder, seconded by' Cm. Snyder, and by unanimous vote,
the Council authorized Staff to proceed with the design phase of the project
and include the construction phase cost in the proposed 1988-89 DIP. The
Council authorized a budget transfer in the amount of $5, 000.

AQUATICS PROGRAMS & PARK & RECREATION FACILITIES SCHEDULING RESPONSIBILITY
At the June 23, 1987, Council meeting, the Council approved a Memorandum of
Understanding between the City of Dublin, Dublin San Ramon Services District
and the City of San Ramon, regarding transfer of service responsibility
relating to fire protection and suppression and park and recreation services.
In addition, the Council adopted a resolution requesting negotiations with
the County regarding District property tax proceeds.
Tax proceeds transfers have been approved- by Alameda County and Contra Costa
County.
It was suggested that both Cities assume the responsibility for all
recreational and aquatic activities and programs to include scheduling of all
District aquatic and park and recreational facilities within each of their
respective territorial boundaries, effective January 1, 1988. The Cities
would be entitled to all of the fees and charges collected, as well as
establishing fee schedules for the related programs and services. The
District would continue to be responsible for maintenance of the facilities
until July 1, 1988, or until such time as the facilities are transferred to
the Cities.
Cm. Moffatt questioned if this was brought before the liaison committee.
Mayor Jeffery indicated that it was not, but it was discussed in general
terms.
City Manager Ambrose explained the timing of how the scheduling and
maintenance activities would occur.
On motion of Cm. Vonheeder, seconded by Cm. Moffatt, and by unanimous vote,
the Council adopted
RESOLUTION NO. 104 - 87
APPROVING. MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING REGARDING THE ASSUMPTION OF
SCHEDULING RESPONSIBILITY FOR AQUATIC AND PARK &RECREATION FACILITIES
AND THE CONDUCT OF AQUATIC AND RECREATIONAL PROGRAMS

PARK NAMES - EAST DOUGHERTY HILLS PARK & DOUGHERTY HILLS PARK
Staff requested that the Council consider park names recommended by the Park
& Recreation Commission at its meeting on November 11, 1987. The names
suggested for the 8 acre East Dougherty Hills Park were: 1) Creekside Park;
CM-6-365
Regular Meeting December 14, 1987
and 2) Willow Creek Park. The names suggested for the 90 acre Dougherty
Hills Park were: 1 ) Dougherty Hills Park; and 2) Bray Park (in honor of
Dublin' s Sister City in Ireland) .
Cm. Snyder felt that the name Alamo Creek was more appropriate for the 8 acre'
park, as this is the name .of the creek that runs through the area.
Cm. Vonheeder felt that in discussions in the past, there was a consensus
that parks should be named to represent something of the area.
On motion of Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. Snyder, and by unanimous vote, the
Council determined that the name for the 8 acre East Dougherty Hills Park
will be Alamo Creek Park.
With regard to the 90 acres, Cm. Snyder indicated that his initial thought
was that it certainly would be an honor to the people of Bray to have a park
named after this relationship. However, 'we have not yet finalized this
relationship. We may become involved with other cities in the future in a
sister city type relationship also. Cm. Snyder indicated that because of
this, he would lean more toward naming the park for historical significance.
Mayor Jeffery felt that Bray is a very definite Dublin name, whether they
were our sister city or not. Naming this park Bray would be a way of
communicating with them in a very strong way that we want to continue this
relationship.
Cm. Hegarty indicated that he had no problem with naming the park Bray.
There was a lot of activity and publicity when we first got involved with--
Bray as a sister city. The name Dougherty is mentioned plenty of times
already as far as historical significance is concerned.
Cm. Moffatt felt that people .would have a better idea of where they are if we
use the name Dougherty in the park name.
Cm. Vonheeder indicated that -she did not realize that the sister city
relationship had not been finalized and questioned what remained to be done.
The Council felt that the upcoming trip to Ireland next year would finalize
the relationship.
Cm. Moffatt felt that if you asked 100 residents in the City about Bray, they
would not know what it is. Cm. Snyder added that sadly, they really don't
care.
On motion of Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. Snyder, and by majority vote, the
Council determined that the name for the 90 acre park will be Dougherty Hills
Park. Voting against this motion were Cm. Hegarty and Mayor Jeffery.

Regular Meeting December 14, 1987
5th ANNUAL ST. PATRICK'S CELEBRATION
Staff advised that Saturday, March '19, 1988, will be the date of the 5th
Annual St. Patrick' s Day Celebration. As in past years, the Dublin-San Ramon
Lions Club will sponsor a parade and dinner/dance, while the City sponsors
the community celebration. Staff advised the Council of the tentative plans
