1994-1999 Five Year Capital Improvement Program
Diane reported that on an annual basis, the CIP is updated to reflect
changing conditions and priorities that may effect the timing of the
various projects included in the CIP. As part of the planning process for
the Capital Improvement Program, Staff recommends that the Commission
review the proposed projects and develop project priorities. The projects
will be incorporated into the 1994-95 CIP based on the Commission's
priorities and available funding.
Park, school and facility projects that have been completed since
incorporation have been financed through a variety of funding, such as the
City General Fund, State and Local Grant Programs, Park Dedication In-Lieu
Funds, and Community Development Block Grants. Currently, there is $40,000
in Park Dedication Funds, which is the only source of funding available at
this time.
The Commission will need to determine project priorities, utilizing 3
points/High Priority, 2 points/Medium Priority and 1 point/Low Priority.
It is Staff's recommendation that the available funding be designated for
the Dublin Sports Grounds Renovation.
Commissioner Jones asked if the $40,000 available will be enough for design
of all three phases for the Dublin Sports Grounds renovation? Diane
replied no, as the total design cost is $72,000.
Commissioner Trimble asked if the 580/680 fly over will impact the.
renovation? Diane replied that there has been no indication from Cal- Trans
that they will be exercising their right-of-way.
Commissioner Cahn asked if the boiler and the decking at the pool need to
be replaced? Diane replied that the pool contractor feels that the boiler
is OK and that the pool deck is becoming a problem.

Commissioner asked if the Social Hall floor at Shannon Center should be
replaced? Diane stated that the floor is not yet a safety issue, but
rather just unsightly.
Commissioner Cahn asked when is San Ramon scheduled to complete the last
section of the Iron Horse Trail? Diane replied that it is her
understanding that the ISTEA money they are to receive for the project is
being delayed and therefore completion will also be delayed. She stated
that the City of Dublin will continue to aggressively look for grant
funding to have monies in place for the final portion.
Commissioner Cahn stated that it is his understanding that the School
District has placed the Dublin Elementary School reopening on hold due to a
boundary matter, and asked if it is planned to be reopened as a public
school? Diane pointed out that when the project was originally identified
it was not contingent upon the school being opened again.
Commissioner Cahn opened the meeting to public input.
Public Input
Janet Lockhart, Dublin resident, stated that the School District is
actively pursuing the opening of the Dublin Elementary School within two
years. It was the Citizen Advisory Committee/s recommendation to open the
school and was accepted by the School Board, however the boundary issue is
still debatable.
Margie Wong-Gillmore, President Dublin Little League, stated that the
addition of sod for the infield on field #4 is not really necessary, as the
sod slows down the balls. She felt that the City should consider removing
the sod. Diane indicated that the sod for the infield was recommended by
the previous groups.
Commissioner Trimble felt that it is important that the Dublin Sports
Grounds be a priority, and that the school fields are highly needed by the
community.
Margie Wong-Gillmore stated if the high school fields are going to be under
renovation, there is going to be a greater need for fields for baseball.
She said that she would rather have the school fields renovated first so
that DLL will have off-site fields to rely on, in case they are needed
during the high school renovation.
Diane asked Commissioner Jones if he knew of the timeline for Dublin High
School renovation has been finalized? Commissioner Jones stated that after
this school year, they will start on the girls softball field directly
behind the bleachers of the football field, build a J.V. field and a
portable field in the opposite corner, over the next two years.
Diane asked if for the 1995 playing season, will soccer or little league be
affected by the work there? Steve replied, no, the only group that will be
affected will be South Valley Youth Football.
Commissioner Cahn closed public input.

Priority, 2 points for a Medium Priority and 1 point for a Low Priority.
