ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING - February 27 , 1991
An adjourned regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Dublin

Room of the Dublin Civic Center. The meeting was called to order at
7 : 04 p.m. , by Mayor Snyder.
ROLL CALL
PRESENT: Councilmembers Burton, Howard, Jeffery, Moffatt and Mayor
Snyder.
ABSENT: None.
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
The Mayor led the Council, Staff and those present in the pledge of
allegiance to the flag.
GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Cm. Burton announced that Kathy Robinson with the YMCA was present to
talk about a proposed YMCA program at Arroyo Vista.
Mr. Ambrose advised that this was added as an additional goal by Cm.
Burton under Recreation and that it would be appropriate to discuss
this when the Council prioritizes the goals & objectives of that
particular area.
STATUS REPORT ON 1990 GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Mr. Ambrose stated that the 1990 adopted Goals & Objectives Plan
included a total of 106 objectives. Of those objectives adopted, 76
were assigned a high priority, 24 were medium priority, and 6 were low
priority. In addition, 15 other significant assignments were given to
Staff during the course of the year.
Of the total 106 adopted objectives, 69 (65%) have been completed or
nearly completed during the last 11 months. Of the 76 objectives
which were designated high priority, 53 (70%) have been completed or
nearly completed. Of the 15 additional major assignments, 9 (60%)
have been completed or nearly completed.
CAPITAL PROJECTS
In June 1990, the City Council adopted a Capital Improvement Program
which included funding for 20 Capital Projects or Capital Equipment
items . Two additional projects were added by the Council since the
beginning of the Fiscal Year.
of the 22 projects, 16 (73%) have been completed or are on schedule.

CM - VOL 10 - 81
Adjourned Regular Meeting February 27, 1991
Mr. Ambrose gave a status report of those projects that were behind
schedule.
Mayor Snyder asked that Mr. Ambrose explain the County's involvement
in the Senior Center Kitchen Upgrade Project.
Mr. Ambrose advised that the County is involved because they
administer the CDBG funds allocation. We are considering having
several contractors do the work rather than have a General Contractor.
Each of the various elements of the project are so unique and
specialized.
1991 GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Mr. Ambrose advised that for 1991, 100 objectives are proposed. This
includes 38 new objectives. The remaining objectives have been
carried over from the previous year and/or have been expanded or
restructured in scope.
The Park & Recreation Commission has reviewed the Recreation
Department objectives and Mr. Ambrose pointed out that they recommend
that the Afterschool Teen Program at Wells Middle School be given a
high priority instead of a medium priority as recommended by Staff.
The Commission also recommended that the Recreation video presentation
be given a medium priority instead of the low priority as recommended
by Staff.
Included in the 1990-91 Goals & Objectives Preliminary Program is a
column indicating whether adequate resources are presently available
to accomplish each of the objectives within the time frame of the
Goals & Objectives Plan.
Each Councilmember individually ranked each objective and a report was
distributed indicating a compilation of the results.
Administration
Cm. Jeffery questioned if there is a need to look at forming a
Redevelopment Agency.
Mr. Ambrose stated that a report should show whether or not this would
be beneficial.
Cm. Jeffery 'stated she hopes that part of the report will look at
whether or not we have an Economic Development Director. She felt
this would be a benefit to the community, as it could be a public
relations type person also.
With regard to the development of a Strategic Plan for the City, Cm.
Moffatt asked if this was more of a future long term plan.
Mr. Rankin explained the type of data we will be compiling.
CM - VOL 10 - 82
Adjourned Regular Meeting February 27, 1991
Cm. Burton questioned if it was intended to be more for information or
if it would have the effect of law.
Mr. Rankin advised that it is more of a general policy that the
decision makers can use.
Mr. Ambrose advised that one of the reasons this was looked at was as
a result of the team building session held jointly with the Planning
Commission. The Commission wasn't sure of where the City Council was
coming from with regard to a long term vision or where the community
was headed.
With regard to developing a program for use of the display cases, this
ended up as a medium priority, and Cm. Moffatt stated he would like to
see this raised to a high priority item.
Mr. Ambrose explained that we have been working with Lynne Baer on
this. She plans to do this in conjunction with her book project.
Mayor Snyder indicated that Ms. Baer is volunteering her services at
no cost to the City. It is difficult to force the issue and move it
up to high priority unless we pay for a consultant.
Bill Burnham stated he didn't understand what the hold up is on this
issue. There are hundreds of people qualified to do this.
Mr. Ambrose advised that it is a matter of not having talent in house
to do this. The display cases are in a very visible spot and someone
who has an eye for detail and aesthetics needs to advise us of the
proper set up for those items we wish to display. In addition,
special stands of various sizes and configuration need to be built.
Mayor Snyder advised that Bank of America and Tap Plastics have agreed
to provide some additional displays for the book project.
Cm. Burton indicated that his thoughts in giving this a medium
priority was that there are so many important things going on, Staff
can't take them all on.
No priorities were changed in the area of Administration.
Finance
With regard to the review of charges for services rendered by all
departments, Mr. Ambrose advised that we want to make sure we are not
at a market disadvantage.
With regard to the Sales Tax Auditing Program, Cm. Burton questioned
how we receive sales tax from those businesses that are regional.
Mr. Molina explained that we get a portion of the sales tax, and this
program would point out areas where we should review.

CM - VOL 10 - 83
Adjourned Regular Meeting February 27, 1991
With regard to the development of a 3-5 year forecast for revenues and
operating expenditures to be used in conjunction with the Five-Year
CIP, Cm. Moffatt questioned if this would take a considerable amount
of Staff time.
Mr. Ambrose responded that it would take a substantial amount of time.
We will need to spend time on finding financing mechanisms and we need
to start looking toward putting together some of the financial
components. Some of them have some very important political
ramifications.
Cm. Moffatt questioned if a forecast of this length generates enough
information to be worth the amount of time and effort expended.
Mr. Ambrose advised that we would also be looking at operating costs.
Cm. Jeffery discussed what help or part DSRSD could play, if any, in
selecting the Community Development Data Processing System. Also,
DRFA has a very simplified version of this.
With regard to the objective of improving the productivity of Data
Processing System and support to operating departments, Cm. Moffatt
asked if the person could be on a contractual basis.
Mr. Molina responded that he did not see why not and also that he
would like to see the priority raised from a medium to a high item.
Mr. Ambrose advised that we need someone with good training skills.
Cm. Burton felt that a contract person would tend more to keep up with
the latest technology.
Cm. Moffatt stated he would change his rating from a 2 to a 3 , as did
Cm. Howard and Cm. Jeffery. This raised the overall rating to a high
priority item.
Intergovernmental Relations
The Council agreed to change the goal, "Aggressively monitor
activities of other regional agencies" to include the words "and
regional proposals" . This replaced the additional goal to actively
monitor regionalism proposals. .
Cm. Jeffery added a goal to work with San Ramon on joint
infrastructure needs and stated she was mainly concerned with regard
to the Dougherty Valley. She felt this could appropriately be
included as part of meeting jointly with representatives from other
agencies. The Council concurred.
Public Relations
With regard to the preparation and distribution of a 10-Year
commemorative calendar, the Council requested that the calendar be a
13 month calendar and that it be sent out in November.
CM - VOL 10 - 84
Adjourned Regular Meeting February 27, 1991
With regard to the program for recognition of outstanding development,
Cm. Jeffery felt it might be better if we approached this in a
different way. An application process was suggested.
Cm. Jeffery included an additional goal of setting up a speakers
bureau and felt it could possibly be a part of or in conjunction with
the civic education guide. She thought Staff and the Councilmembers
could provide the school district with some real world information
related to Civic Education. The Council directed Staff to continue to
offer this option to the School District.
Cm. Jeffery also added the goal of planning a 10-year Cityhood
celebration. She indicated she would like to see a large celebration
which could go on for the entire year.
Bill Burnham suggested developing some kind of a logo that could be
used with all the activities.
Mayor Snyder questioned how this would impact Staff time if it is
added as a high priority item.
Mayor Snyder and Cm. Burton agreed that they would add this item with
a medium rating of 2 . Cm. 's Jeffery, Howard and Moffatt gave it a
high ranking of 3 .
Cm. Moffatt added a goal to develop a source of funding for Chamber of
Commerce to advertise and promote the City. He stated that many other
cities do this. By doing this, we might get a little more idea of
what our business community is looking for and they would have a hand
in it.
Cm. Jeffery felt this fits better under Administration with the
economic development program. Most Chambers of Commerce in cities
such as our that have a wealth of businesses do not take money from
the city. She stated she highly objected to using "source of
funding" .
Mayor Snyder pointed out that in reviewing the list of Chamber of
Commerce members, there are many service businesses rather than large
numbers of revenue generators. This is one of the problems, in that
they don't have a good base of retail businesses that belong to the
Chamber. They might be able to use the City's Business Registration
list to generate new memberships .
Cm. Moffatt stated the funding sources don't necessarily have to come
from the City.
Bill Burnham asked if the City will ever look down road at having a
public relations persons to handle all these problems. He questioned
if the City has a public relations person.
Mr. Ambrose stated it depends on how you define public relations. He
felt everyone who works for the City is a PR representative. y y y

Adjourned Regular Meeting February 27, 1991
Mayor Snyder stated if there are specific instances, it is everyone's
responsibility to address it. He cautioned Mr. Burnham about
spreading rumors.
Mr. Burnham used as an example that there were a few people who just
shook their heads, tossed the Business Registration forms out and
walked away.
Mayor Snyder stated that the City could deal with the situation if
specific instances were addressed, but not with a general statement
that people are unhappy. There will always be people unhappy, no
matter what you do. If someone is unhappy with the process, then they
should contact the City and so indicate, or Mr. Burnham should recite
specifics.
Mr. Ambrose discussed the City's press release program. Each
department is authorized to deal with the newspapers directly. We
brought representatives from the newspapers in to assist and help us
develop that program.
Cm. Jeffery asked if there was a policy whereby we will generate as
much information as necessary to make sure the community knows what is
going on.
Mr. Ambrose advised that City Staff is getting more things out to the
people.
Contract Administration
Mr. Rankin discussed the concept of not reviewing annually in as much
detail those contracts that are multi-year agreements. Some of the
contracts which are multi-year include: Animal Control, Police
Services, Public Works Maintenance, and Street Sweeping.
Cm. Burton questioned the need to review contracts unless they are
coming up for renewal or we are considering going to another source.
He felt it should be left to Staff, unless a problem develops or we
need to start negotiating a new contract or finding a new source. He
felt that some of the information was superfluous.
Cm. Jeffery stated she had no problem with multi-year contract
reviews. We usually make some modifications to the Police Services
contract each year, however, so we would be reviewing that one
annually.
The Council concurred that multi-year contracts did not necessarily
have to be reviewed annually.
Planning
Mr. Ambrose advised that the Eastern Sphere of Influence dispute with
Livermore has been tabled by LAFCO.

Adjourned Regular Meeting February 27, 1991
With regard to the medium priority General Plan Update, Cm. Burton
questioned why this has to be done now with both the East and West
Dublin studies underway.
Mr. Tong advised that the studies coincide and the State requires that
the total General Plan must be in agreement.
With regard to the report on the historic element to the General Plan,
Cm. Jeffery asked if we had had this in place a few years ago, if some
of the things could have been saved which have disappeared. We may
get into a situation where we don't have anything historical to
preserve. She was concerned that in the undeveloped areas, something
might be destroyed without our even knowing about it. Some type of a
policy should be developed.
By a Council consensus, the low priority goal, Antennae Study, was
deleted.
Cm. Moffatt added a goal to provide technical & financial aid to the
Dublin Cemetery & Historical Associations' properties. He stated he
would like to see a concept developed to see the area on Donlon Way
preserved. They are having a lot of problems over there, and are
interested in going under the umbrella of the City. They do not have
the technical know-how of how to handle some of the situations that
have developed. All 3 organizations would like to talk about this.
Cm. Burton stated he was contacted by some of the older people in the
community. The lifeblood of the Cemetery Association is getting thin.
They are looking for some long term solution to protect the Cemetery.
He felt that if the City were to step in, we could get the church back
into the heritage center. If we want to protect this area, we need to
step in and try to make it City property.
Mayor Snyder stated that 7 or 8 years ago, a study was done of the
church and he found a way to get a foundation put under it on a
volunteer basis. Since that time, nothing else has happened.
Cm. Burton felt we should try to get an agreement between the 3 groups
and develop some kind of a concept. The City should be an arbitrator
and try to find an equitable solution.
Cm. Jeffery asked if we could force them to put money into the
property to keep it up under the Property Maintenance Ordinance.
Mr. Ambrose advised that the property is not in the condition that we
could go after it.
Mayor Snyder felt the groups should be asked to come to a City Council
meeting with a collective proposal or request.
Cm. Jeffery stated each of the 3 groups has different priorities.
In addition to Cm. Moffatt's high priority ranking, Cm. 's Burton and
Howard added high rankings to this additional goal.
CM - VOL 10 - 87
Adjourned Regular Meeting February 27, 1991
Cm. Burton added a goal to review the Sign Ordinance using local
business people as a resource. He stated he gets calls from people
who are unhappy with the Ordinance. Instead of continually having
these problems, he felt the City Council should take a look at the
areas that keep coming up.
Mayor Snyder stated a committee was used to review the new Ordinance
and it went on for 3 or 4 years. He found it disturbing that now that
it's been implemented, they have problems with it.
The Council pointed out that several changes have been made to the
Ordinance since its adoption, and if anyone has concerns, they need to
contact the City. There are avenues available with which to deal with
specific situations. They must first be brought to the Council's
attention, however.
Bobby Foscalina stated she wished to go back to the issue of the
Sphere of Influence dispute related to Doolan Canyon. She felt this
goal should be dropped from the list, or at least lowered in its
priority. Her reasons included the present drought situation.
Existing residents will be the ones to suffer. The majority of the
residents of Doolan Canyon do not wish to be a part of Dublin.
Including Doolan Canyon as part of the study will increase Dublin's
costs considerably. If things aren't done right, they will see that
they are done over.
Donna Ogelvie stated they have done a survey of the residents and
advised that they have the required number of votes in the Canyon to
stop an annexation. The developers are not residents and cannot vote.
Mr. Ambrose advised that because the City has contracts with both the
consultant and the property owners, the process cannot be stopped.
Building & Safety
Cm. Burton questioned how Staff will review the Building Permit Fee
Schedule.
Mr. Taugher advised that among other things, we will review what other
cities charge.
Engineering
No discussion was held relative to the Engineering goals.
Recreation
The Council discussed the development of a video presentation
promoting City Recreation programs, parks and facilities and stated
they would rather replace this goal with the speakers bureau and
possibly a slide presentation.
CM - VOL 10 - 88
Adjourned Regular Meeting February 27, 1991
After further discussion, by a Consensus, the Council agreed to delete
this low priority goal altogether.
Cm. Moffatt listed an additional goal to work with DHA to finish the
Arroyo Vista playground. He felt it was ludicrous that all this
equipment is just sitting there which was bought by Pleasanton and it
has never been installed.
Mr. Ambrose advised that when the sewer bids come back, we will know
how much money is available for the playground equipment installation.
Cm. Burton added a goal to work with and fund YMCA Program for youth
at Arroyo Vista. He advised that they are not trying to compete with
the Recreation Department or any other programs in the City. He was
asked by 2 board members if they could address the City with a
proposal.
Kathleen Robinson with YMCA advised that they are trying to get a
program started. They are not asking for funding. The money will be
raised from community groups, service clubs, etc. There is a
commitment to provide community services to youth here. The YMCA has
model programs in use throughout the nation. The wish list was put
together by the people at Arroyo Vista. Ms. Robinson explained their
proposal.
Mayor Snyder apologized and explained to Ms. Robinson that her
presentation should be made before the Dublin Housing Authority Board.
Cm. Burton stated he added an item related to completing Dougherty
Hills Park Plan so that the Rotary Club could adopt some of the
projects such as trails, signs, benches, etc. They want to adopt a
park and he thought this could develop some type of thought process.
Ms. Lowart advised that there is a conceptual master plan.
Mr. Ambrose indicated that there is no money in the budget for
architectural services to develop Dougherty Hills Park.
Cm. Jeffery felt that before this is added, we need to know costs.
Mr. Ambrose stated the Council should determine if this is an
appropriate project to put into the CIP.
Mayor Snyder felt that since we have a volunteer offer, this would
warrant including it in the CIP.
Cm. Burton assigned this a high priority and the balance of the
Council each assigned it a medium priority.
Police
Following discussion related to the development and implementation of
an applicant fingerprint program, Cm. Jeffery changed her ranking from
a low priority to a medium priority.
CM - VOL 10 - 89
Adjourned Regular Meeting February 27, 1991
Animal Control
With regard to a long term solution for animal shelter, Staff advised
that a draft agreement to construct a new animal shelter at Santa Rita
is in the works. We are still waiting for the final draft. The
County and each participating city would share in the equity of the
land. This will be a fairly substantial expenditure.
Cm. Jeffery added a goal to develop strategies to increase dog
licensing and stated she felt there are additional strategies we can
use. We could present some real strong advantages to having dogs
licensed. We also should make it as easy to do as possible.
Mr. Rankin advised that we have mail-in application forms at City
offices.
Mr. Ambrose advised that canvassing is the most effective way.
Bill Burnham questioned the advantage to have a dog licensed, other
than to get the dog back if it gets lost.
Cm. Burton felt there should be some kind of reminder when licenses
are going to expire.
Mayor Snyder requested that Staff find out what the procedures are
that are used by the County and bring the information to a Council
meeting.
Mr. Ambrose advised that San Ramon has also expressed an interest in
possibly considering some kind of joint effort for field services.
The majority of the Council gave a medium ranking to developing
strategies and a plan to increase dog licensing.
Disaster Preparedness
Bill Burnham questioned what kind of legal authority building
inspectors have after a disaster and if they order a building shut
down, who foots the bill if the inspector is wrong.
Mr. Taugher advised that they make an assessment and the owner has a
right to get his own engineer. The situation can then be negotiated
if there is disagreement, depending upon the specific circumstances .
Cm. Burton added a goal to set up a Disaster Council that would meet
and make decisions at the time of a disaster. He stated people needed
to know who is actually in charge in the event of a disaster. We need
to have a positive program that people are comfortable with and know
about.
Staff discussed some of the activities and planning that has occurred
in the area of disaster planning.

CM - VOL 10 - 90
Adjourned Regular Meeting February 27, 1991
Staff pointed out that the Municipal Code establishes a Disaster
Council. The new position of Community Safety Assistant recently
created, will handle the coordination of activities.
Cm. Burton stated he was unaware of some of the programs that are
already in place.
Cm. Moffatt stated that he added the goal to meet with Camp Parks
regarding disaster relief operations just to let everyone know of this
possibility of using them as a resource.
Waste Management
Mayor Snyder and Cm. Moffatt each added the goal of working with
appropriate agencies to develop a means to communicate to residents on
how to dispose of household hazardous materials.
Mr. Ambrose stated we should request Livermore and Pleasanton to help
us in applying pressure on the County.
Following discussion, this goal was given a medium ranking by Cm. 's
Burton, Jeffery and Moffatt, and a high ranking by Mayor Snyder. Cm.
Howard did not indicate a ranking on this item.
Maintenance
With regard to developing a Landscape Water Use Policy, Cm. Burton
pointed out that we have a lot of lawns out there. If we are asking
people to let their lawns go, we need to set some kind of an example.
Mr. Ambrose advised that Staff will be meeting with Bob Beebe from
DSRSD regarding the water situation and the possibility of using
reclaimed water at the Sports Grounds. The City is DSRSD's largest
water user. We have millions of dollars invested in landscaping in
the City. A game plan will be brought back to the Council which will
include a recycled water policy.
Transportation
Following discussion of the goal to work with other agencies to
implement Measure B projects, Cm. Jeffery changed her ranking from a
medium to a high priority. This gave the goal 3 high priority votes.
Capital Improvements
Mayor Snyder felt that the City needs to realistically look at what we
can fund without getting anyone's hopes up.
Mr. Ambrose advised that the individual schools are getting a lot more
active. Consideration is being given to holding a special Park &
Recreation Commission meeting and inviting all the groups that wish to
request funding to make presentations.

Adjourned Regular Meeting February 27, 1991
Cm. Jeffery added a goal to include funding for Civic Center holiday
decorations.
After discussion, each of the Councilmembers agreed and gave this a
high priority ranking and thus, it was added to the CIP list.
Cm. Jeffery also added consideration of purchasing another season of
banners.
After discussion, each of the Councilmembers agreed and gave this a
high priority ranking. It was therefore, added to the CIP list.
Cm. Moffatt questioned when the letters on the clock would be painted
black. He thought this had been resolved.
Mr. Ambrose advised that this will be completed as soon as weather
conditions and temperatures permit.
