Staff recently prepared an analysis of actual costs incurred by the
City for publication of agendas and also surveyed surrounding
agencies. Actual costs per meeting agenda were calculated as follows:
Postage $ .29
Copies (Assumes 2 Pages) $ . 20
Envelope $ . 06
Mileage to Post Office $ . 28
Labor (including overhead) to copy, fold, stuff envelopes & deliver to
Post Office $4 . 68
Total Costs Incurred by City for Each Agenda = $5.51
Neighboring cities currently charge: Pleasanton $24/year
San Ramon $20/year
Livermore $38/year
Danville $20/year
The Dublin City Council holds an average of 30 meetings per year.
Therefore, actual annual costs incurred by the City for agenda
subscriptions equal approximately $165. Because this cost would be
prohibitive to the majority of the recipients of the agendas, Staff
proposes to implement an annual City Council agenda subscription fee
of $40.
Complete agenda packets are available for review by citizens at no
cost several days prior to each City Council meeting at both the
Dublin Library and in the City Clerk's Office.

The Planning Commission holds an average of 24 meetings per year.
Therefore, actual annual costs equal approximately $132 . Planning
Department Staff has, in the past, allowed recipients to provide self-
addressed stamped envelopes in order to receive the Planning
Commission agendas, with no additional fee charged. Subscribers who
provide no envelopes are charged $12 per year. In order to provide
for uniformity, Staff proposes to eliminate the option for subscribers
to provide envelopes and implement an annual Planning Commission
agenda subscription fee of $30.
The Park & Recreation Commission holds an average of 12 meetings per
year. Therefore, actual annual costs equal approximately $66. The
list of agenda recipients for this Commission is considerably smaller
and Staff proposes to implement an annual Park & Recreation Commission
agenda subscription fee of $18.
With regard to the annual Budget and CIP documents, the City of Dublin
currently charges $5. 00 for each of these documents, plus postage, if
mailed.
Neighboring cities currently charge:
Budget CIP
Livermore $10. 00 * $10. 00 *
Danville $10. 00 * $15. 00 *
San Ramon $15. 00 (Budget & CIP = 1 document)
Pleasanton Summaries provided free of charge
Considering Implementing Charges for Complete Documents
* Includes Postage $25. 00 $75. 00
Staff proposes implementation of a flat fee of $10. 00 for each of the
2 documents, plus postage, if mailing is requested.
No fee adjustments have been made for agenda subscriptions, Budget or
CIP documents' since establishment of the fees in 1984 .
In summary, Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution
amending the Exhibit 7 fee schedule as follows:
Receipt of City Council Agendas $40 er
p year
