ITEM NO. - -C1T*4 CLERK
FILE 3 3 0 0
1 . The City is required to budget the City's Debt Service payment of
$1 ,718,970 in the Dublin Information, Inc. Fund and the City's Annual
Rental Payment of $1 ,718,970 to Dublin Information, Inc. in the
Building Management Activity of the General Fund. The City will
actually be spending only $1 ,718,970 less $140,727 in estimated
interest earnings on the 1988 Certificate of Participation Reserve
Fund.
2. The cost associated with the Internal Service Fund are also included
in the General Operating Budget. These costs are charged by the
Internal Services Fund to various Departmental Users for the operation
or replacement of equipment that has a life in excess of one year.
3. For Fiscal Year 1992-93, a total of $166, 039 in recommended reductions
is proposed in order to balance the 1992-93 Budget.
Financing
The Preliminary Budget for Fiscal Year 1992-93 is funded by $17, 245,971 in
Current Revenues, $427, 409 in Appropriations from Restricted Reserves, and
$983, 172 from Other Sources of Cash. The 1992-93 Budget only considers the
loss of Cigarette Tax but not other possible subvention cuts which could
occur once the State adopts its Budget for Fiscal Year 1992-93. This
budget does not include any possible additional Federal Mandated Costs such
as those proposed by the President for mandatory Medicare. The 1992-93
Budget is also predicated on the City Council levying those assessments
proposed for the various City Assessment Districts and once again levying a
Storm Water Facility Fee on all landowners for Fiscal Year 1992-93.
Items not included in the proposed 1992-93 Budget.
1 . Dublin Hills Landscape Committee - Request for Improvements to
Landscaping to Topaz Circle Estimated Cost $16,438 to $31 ,500 for
Improvements. Annual Maintenance and Utilities Estimated at $2,400
per year.
The City has received a petition from residents of Coral Way and Topaz
Circle to assist in funding additional landscaping to Topaz Circle.
If the City were to purchase materials associated with the work, pay
the water connection fees, and inspect the work performed by
volunteers, the cost is estimated at $16, 439. If the City handled the
project as a public works project contracting for the labor, the cost
is estimated at $31 ,500. In either case, the annual maintenance and
utility costs are estimated at $2,400 per year.
Currently, all existing landscape maintenance and utility costs for
the Stagecoach Road area _are performed by the City and funded by
homeowners through a landscape maintenance assessment district. If
the improvement and maintenance costs associated with this request
were added to the assessment district, the cost would be spread among
the 150 homeowners and would substantially increase the assessment for
each house.
Recommendation: Receive presentation and consider request.
2. Dublin Substance Abuse Council - Request for $4 , 500
In Fiscal Year 1991-92, the City of Dublin contributed $4,500 to the
Dublin Substance Abuse Council for the purpose of funding expenses
associated with "Red Ribbon Week" and "Dry Graduation Night" for High
School students. For Fiscal Year 1992-93, the Dublin Substance Abuse
Council is once again asking for a contribution from the City in the
amount of $4, 500.
Recommendation: Receive presentation and consider request.
3. Dublin Fine Arts Foundation - Request for $8,000
The Dublin Fine Arts Foundation has requested $8,000 to cover the
Foundations Administrative support for those activities proposed for
Fiscal Year 1992-93. These activities include a) Art Education at the
-2-
i
0
schools; b) Exhibitions in the Civic Center Lobby and the Dublin
Sculpture Park; c) temporary sculpture exhibition in May through July
of 1992; d) an Art Education Program in the Civic Center.
Recommendation: Receive presentation and consider request.
4. Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority - Request for $1 ,500
For the last two years, the Cities of Dublin and Livermore have been
contributing to LAVTA for the purpose of subsidizing the Dial-A-Ride
Services provided by the Transit Authority. Once again, LAVTA is
requesting a subsidy of $1 ,500 from the City of Dublin. This is an
item that was included in the Budget, but is being recommended by the
City Manager to be cut in order to balance the 1992-93 Budget.
Recommendation: Receive presentation and consider request.
5. The Center - Request for $10,000
The Center provides emergency shelter, food, and support services to
homeless and impoverished residents of the Livermore Amador Valley.
During the past year, The Center has seen a substantial increase in
requests for services. The Center is requesting a contribution from
the City of Dublin in the amount of $10, 000 in order to maintain their
current level of services and begin the process of implementing a case
management system in order to help those people provided with
emergency food from becoming homeless.
Recommendation: Receive presentation and consider request.
6. Heritage Center (Higher Service Level) - $27,082
If the City assumes the ownership and responsibility for the Heritage
Center properties and buildings, Staff estimates that approximately
$27,082 would be required to provide grounds maintenance for 10
months, building maintenance for 6 months, utilities for 10 months,
and part-time Staff for 6 months. Since the City Council has not made
a final decision on whether of not it will proceed with the
acquisition of the Heritage Center properties, Staff did not include
those costs associated with the capital acquisition and improvement
costs nor the maintenance and operational costs in the 1992-93 Budget.
If the City Council approves the acquisition of the Heritage Center,
both the Capital Budget and Operating Budget would need to be modified
to reflect the additional funding requirements.
Recommendation: Consider
Conclusion
As indicated in the City Manager's Budget Message, the initial Budget
document was prepared in order to provide a current level of service for
all operating departments with the exception of Engineering. In the
Engineering department, a higher service level is necessary in order to
meet the mandates associated with the Clean Air Act and Proposition 111 .
After• reviewing the available financing for the current service level,
Staff determined that there was insufficient funds projected for 1992-93 to
finance the current service level of operations. The City Manager has
identified a number of possible expenditure cuts, and transferring funding
of certain expenditures to funds other than the General Fund. If the City
Council is to increase the overall total of the Budget requirements of the
General Fund, either additional cuts in services will be required, or the
Council will have to utilize the City's reserves, which is not recommended
by the City Manager. Given the bleak prospects for generating additional
General Fund revenues over the next several years, it is the City Manager's
recommendation that the City Council continue to adopt a pay-as-you-go
policy in considering this Budget, as was discussed at the 1991-92 Mid-Year
Financial Review.

Dublin, CA 94568
Dear Mayor Snyder,
I am writing to inform you about some startling statistics that
affect our entire community and will require all segments of the
community's attention and support.
As you know, the Family Crisis Center provides emergency food,
motel vouchers, and other services to people in the Tri-Valley
community.
- In 1990 we responded to 8,633 requests for emergency food and
other services
- In 1991 we responded to over 14,600 requests
- In past 6 months we have seen a 43% increase in requests for
services. This is especially remarkable in light of the fact that we
cut back our hours of operations.
These figures exclude the numbers of people that we house at the
Valley Shelter. There has been an extensive waiting list at our
homeless shelter all year and we are turning away more people than
we are able to house.
I am writing to request your support at this time. I am requesting
that you grant us $10,000 in fiscal year 92-93 so that we can insure
continuation of our emergency services at the Family Crisis Center.
4725 First Street, Suite 200 • Pleasantoi c�
With this funding, we will not only be able to maintain our current
level of services but we will begin the process of implementing a
case management system`in order to help those people we provide
emergency food to from becoming homeless.
We believe that we have the ability to prevent homelessness from
ever reaching the proportions it has in other Bay Area communities
if we begin to act now. The purpose of this program will be to screen
all requests for emergency food to determine the underlying causes
of the family's difficulty . If we assess that the family is at risk for
becoming homeless, we will work with the family to correct these
risk factors and enable them to maintain their housing.
We are requesting that each of the cities of the Tri-Valley
community contribute $10,000 to this effort. These funds, will be
matched by private and other government money and enable us to
implement a case management program.
The numbers of people who are finding it difficult to provide basic
food for their families in the Tri-Valley community is growing. We
believe that it is time that we took some preventive action to
assure that these families do not end up homeless. Once a family
has lost their home, it becomes much more expensive for them to
resume independent living. This problem is one that we as a
community can solve and prevnet from becoming worse.
I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you in the near
future to talk about this request.

PROPOSED PROGRAMS 1992/1993
Art Education in the Schools
The Foundation is currently working with Vince Anaclario,
Assistant Superintendent of the Dublin Schools, and Southern
Exposure, an artists organization, to formulate a six week
long program with three 4th and 5th grade classes. The
project will combine art and the ecology.
Budget: $13,500*
Exhibitions
Dublin Sculpture Park: There are currently three
large-scale works on the grounds of the Civic Center and the
goal is to increase that number. Bay Area artists are
invited to loan large scale works for a minimum of one year.
This on-going exhibition of work is both educational and
visually exciting for the community. Our goal is to place
two to three additional works in the Civic Center area.
Budget: $6,750*
Temporary Exhibitions in the Civic Center Lobby: Current
exhibitions in the display cases have been well received by
the community and visitors to the Civic Center. "Dublin
Collects" will be an ongoing series with curator shows as
well.
Budget: $6,750*
Other Projects
Temporary Sculpture Exhibition: If the three month long
temporary exhibition scheduled for May/July, 1992 is
successful, another exhibition of this type will be
considered.
Budget: $11,250*
Art Education Programs in the Civic Center: The Foundation
would like to create an on-going evening art education
program in the Civic Center associated with current
exhibitions in the lobby, outdoors, or of interest to the
community.
Budget: $2,250*
*Includes allocation of executive director's time and
overhead.

Dear Rich and Diane:
Enclosed is a list of 1992-93 programs proposed by the
Dublin Fine Arts Foundation, together with a budget for
Foundation activities. Over the past four years, the
Foundation, through the generous contributions of the
business community, individuals, foundations and the City of
Dublin, has established a reputation for both quality and
innovation. Our little Foundation is well respected among
public art groups in Northern California.
The operating costs of the Foundation have not increased in
the last three years. Lynne Baer' s salary has not changed
since I hired her three years ago. Her contacts within the
art community and her commitment to quality have made this
organization a success.
We have established excellent relationships, not only with
the art community but also with the Dublin School District,
by providing quality art instruction. We have received the
support over the years from many of Dublin' s largest
businesses, including Luckys, Kaufman and Broad and Hexcel
Corporation. We have established an active advisory board
of Dublin citizens.
We are requesting the same contribution this year as last.
We recognize that City budgets are extremely tight.
However, the overall contribution to cultural enrichment in
Dublin is not excessive and is an important investment in
the future of the community. I have enclosed a recent
article on the Foundation which describes our activities
over the past year.

City Manager

P.O. Box 2340

Dear Richard:
LAVTA is requesting the cities of Dublin and Livermore to
support Dial-A-Ride services again this year by contributing
$1, 500 and $6, 000 respectively. These contributions are the
same as last year. This money will be used to help cover an
anticipated budget shortfall of $27 , 500.
Dial-A-Ride services in the cities of Livermore and Dublin have
historically been funded through a combination of California
Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 4 . 5 funds, Measure
B funds, passenger fares and, for the last two years, Dublin and
Livermore contributions. In fiscal FY1992-93 , LAVTA will also
be spending State Transit Assistance funds to support this
service. However, these funds compensate for the cost to expand
Dial-A-Ride services to meet the requirements of the American's
with Disabilities Act.
The alternative to city contributions would be to fund the
entire deficit out of fixed route funds, possibly resulting in
service cuts. Even with city contributions of $7, 500 LAVTA will
make up the bulk of the deficit out of fixed route funds.
If you have an questions or need further information please let
me know.
Sincerely,
Barbara May
Director of Finance and Administration

SUBJECT: Cost Estimate for Landscaping
Along Topaz Circle
Dear Mr. & Mrs . Fasulkey:
Attached is a rough estimate to add street trees and bushes along the
nonresidential frontage of Topaz Circle. This will give you an order
of magnitude cost for the landscaping as you have requested.
In lieu of putting native trees (Valley oak and live oak) along the
face of the slopes , I have assumed a large, faster growing street tree
that would be placed at the bottom of the slope. The canopies would
tend to hide the face of the slope and, in time, the trees would also
extend out over the street itself .
One possibility for a street tree type would be the Chinese Pistache,
which can grow to 60 feet high and 50 feet wide. It has bright red
fall color. Another possibility is the Flowering Pear, like the ones
on Village Parkway which put out white flowers in the Spring and grow
reasonably fast .
You had asked to address the City Council at the Budget Hearing . The
Council has set meeting dates of Tuesday, June 9th, and Thursday, June
11th, at 7 : 30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers for these hearings .
If you have any questions , please feel free to call my office .
