Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Agreement with Geosyntec Consultants for Assistance with Green Infrastructure Planning and Stormwater Resource Plan Evaluation Prepared by: Shannan Young, Environmental Coordinator EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council will consider approval of a an Agreement with Geosyntec Consultants to assist Staff with the conceptual development of the Green Infrastructure Work plan as described in the Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit provisions, including providing preliminary green infrastructure project identification and budget analysis. In addition, Geosyntec Consultants will assist the City in evaluating the benefits of developing a stormwater resource plan. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution Approving the Consultant Services Agreement with Geosyntec Consultants for Assistance with Green Infrastructure Planning and Stormwater Resource Plan Evaluation. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Sufficient funds are available in the Environmental Services Program budget for Fiscal Year 2016-17. DESCRIPTION: The reissued Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (MRP), of which the City of Dublin is a co-permittee, went into effect on January 1, 2016. The MRP includes a new requirement for each permittee to prepare a Green Infrastructure Plan that demonstrates it can meet targets for the amount of impervious surfaces to be retrofitted with green infrastructure by 2020, 2030, and 2040, in accordance with mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls load reduction requirements in Provisions C.11 and C.12 of the MRP. Green infrastructure allows for the management of stormwater using vegetation, soils, cisterns, and natural processes. At the citywide level, green infrastructure refers to the patchwork of natural areas that provides flood protection, cleaner water, and other benefits. At the neighborhood or site level, green infrastructure 4.2 Packet Pg. 22 Page 2 of 2 refers to stormwater management systems that mimic nature by soaking up and storing water (also referred to as low impact development, or LID). Green Infrastructure Plans are intended to: Set goals for reducing, over the long term, adverse water quality impacts of urbanization on receiving waters; and Serve as an implementation guide to provide reasonable assurance that pollutant load allocations in MRP Provision C.11 and C.12 will be met. The green infrastructure planning process will account for: Past projects, as indicated in the MRP; Planned and potential projects required to include green infrastructure (private development and capital improvements); and Identification of additional projects for which Green Infrastructure may be required in order to meet impervious surface area retrofit targets. By June 30, 2017, a Green Infrastructure Framework for completing the City of Dublin’s Green Infrastructure Work Plan must be approved by City Council. The Green Infrastructure Work Plan must be completed by June 30, 2019. Geosyntec Consul tants will assist the City as it begins the Green Infrastructure planning process. Separately but related, California Water Code section 10560 requires the development of a Stormwater Resource Plan and compliance with the provisions in the section to receive grant funds from any bond act approved by the voters after January 1, 2014 for stormwater and dry weather runoff capture projects. Geosyntec Consultants will provide technical assistance to conduct an evaluation into whether it would be beneficial for the City to complete a Stormwater Resource Plan or functionally equivalent document to better position the City for grant funding opportunities to implement projects which will help meet Green Infrastructure requirements. Staff completed a Request for Proposal (RFP) process in the months of November and December, 2016 to hire a consultant to assist with Green Infrastructure planning and a Stormwater Resource Plan evaluation. Six responses to the RFP were received. Staff interviewed the two most qualified firms, based on recent work projects, experience with the MRP Green Infrastructure requirements, and cost proposals. Geosyntec Consultants is the consultant selected as a result of that process with a not -to-exceed budget of $85,000 over the contract term ending August 31, 2017. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: A copy of the Staff Report was sent to Geosyntec Consultants. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. Before beginning any work under this Agreement, Consultant, at its own cost and expense, shall procure “occurrence coverage” insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property that may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder by the Consultant and its agents, representatives, employees, and subcontractors.

Consultant shall maintain the insurance policies required by this section throughout the term of this Agreement. The cost of such insurance shall be included in the Consultant’s bid. Consultant shall not allow any subcontractor to commence work on any subcontract until Consultant has obtained all insurance required herein for the subcontractor(s) and provided evidence thereof to City. Verification of the required insurance shall be submitted and made part of this Agreement prior to execution.

In the alternative, Consultant may rely on a self- insurance program to meet those requirements, but only if the program of self- insurance complies fully with the provisions of the California Labor Code. Determination of whether a self-insurance program meets the standards of the Labor Code shall be solely in the discretion of the Contract Administrator. The insurer, if insurance is provided, or the Consultant, if a program of self-insurance is provided, shall waive all rights of subrogation against the City and its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers for loss arising from work performed under this Agreement. An endorsement shall state that coverage shall not be canceled except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, has 4.2.a Packet Pg. 29 At t a c h m e n t : 1 .

Consultant agrees to include with all subcontractors in their subcontract the same requirements and provisions of this Agreement including the Indemnification and Insurance requirements to the extent they apply to the scope of the Subcontractor’s work. Subcontractors hired by Consultant agree to be bound to Consultant and the City in the same manner and to the same extent as Consultant is bound to the City under the Contract Documents.

The objectives for the meeting will be to obtain an understanding of the project goals, as well as the available data related to past, current, and planned development projects and any efforts conducted by the City which may contribute to the GI planning effort. Geosyntec will prepare a meeting agenda and handouts for discussion prior to the meeting. Deliverables: Kick-off meeting with meeting agenda and handouts. Task 2 – Develop GI Analyses Methodology and Data Needs Memorandum Following the discussion with the City regarding data availability and analyses methodologies in the kick-off meeting, Geosyntec will develop a memorandum to describe the analyses methodologies that will be used to: 1. Estimate the total impervious area needed to meet the City’s portion of the load reductions required by the MRP using GI (e.g., 0.7 grams per year by 2020 and 18 grams per year by 2040 for PCBs); 2. Identify existing public and private development projects (MRP 1.0 C.3 projects), current public and private development projects (MRP 2.0 C.3 projects), and potential future private development projects (2020 – 2040); 3. Estimate the public impervious retrofit area needed to meet the City’s portion of the PCBs and mercury load reductions, if needed based on the C.3 project analysis; and 4. Identify potential public parcel-based and regional project locations. The methodology to identify the public impervious area targets (#3) and potential GI retrofit locations is anticipated to entail a combination of GIS analyses and load reduction calculation. Public Impervious Area Targets for Retrofit or Redevelopment During the kick-off meeting, Geosyntec will discuss with the City how best to incorporate the spreadsheet tool developed for ACCWP member agencies (distributed in August 2016) to quantify the area of impervious surface that must receive GI stormwater treatment to meet the TMDL wasteload allocations in the MRP. The method for 4.2.a Packet Pg. 42 At t a c h m e n t : 1 . A p p r o v i n g a C o n s u l t a n t S e r v i c e A g r e e m e n t b e t w e e n t h e C i t y o f D u b l i n a n d G e o s y n t e c C o n s u l t a n t s f o r G r e e n I n f r a s t r u c t u r e establishing public impervious area targets is proposed to entail identification of two estimates of retrofit and/or redevelopment area: 1. Approximating the total area needed to be redeve loped or retrofit to meet the load reduction targets for years 2020 and 2040 by land use category (i.e., 28 acres of Old Urban area would meet the City’s PCBs-related GI requirement for 2020 and 681 acres would be required by 2040 per the spreadsheet tool default inputs). 2. Identifying the public and private parcels or areas that could feasibly be retrofitted or redeveloped by 2020, 2030, and 2040. Identifying the area needed from a load-reduction perspective can be answered by utilizing the ACCWP GI Implementation Tool. Any approach will entail identification of all C.3 projects that are currently or will be implemented in the City and an estimation of the extent to which C.3 projects could be implemented by 2040. Geosyntec will discuss with the City the best approach to understand what data are available to identify specific parcels or areas that could be subject to C.3 requirements during the kick-off meeting. Once the load reduction associated with the C.3 projects has been calculated, the difference bet ween the required load reduction and the C.3 load reduction can be used to calculate the required retrofit area. The total area feasibly retrofitted or redeveloped, from a total available area and cost perspective, will be discussed with the City during the kick-off meeting, and a method to identify this total area will be established in the memorandum. This method may include a cost-based analysis along with other data gathering steps. The cost -based analysis method is anticipated to be either qualitative or on a planning level, using rough approximations for cost/acre/year. The methodology for this total area analysis will be discussed during the kick -off meeting and documented in the memorandum. The analyses will be carried out as part of Task 3. Public Retrofit Projects and Regional Projects for MRP Term 2.0 The approach proposed to identify potential regional or public GI retrofit project locations is anticipated to entail a detailed GIS desktop analyses used to identify specific parcels or locations for regional facilities within the City for GI retrofit project opportunities. ACCWP is developing an online GIS Tool that could be used to identify and prioritize opportunities for C.3.j projects. This GIS Tool, if available in time, will be used in combination with any other desktop analyses conducted as part of this task. At the project kick-off meeting, Geosyntec will discuss how to best incorporate this GIS Tool into the analysis or alternatives if the Tool is not available in time for this project. 4.2.a Packet Pg. 43 At t a c h m e n t : 1 . A p p r o v i n g a C o n s u l t a n t S e r v i c e A g r e e m e n t b e t w e e n t h e C i t y o f D u b l i n a n d G e o s y n t e c C o n s u l t a n t s f o r G r e e n I n f r a s t r u c t u r e It is anticipated that the GIS analyses will use specific characteristics of parcels to screen for feasible project locations. Parcel data will be obtained from the City or other publicly available sources. Geosyntec will also utilize this approach to eval uate opportunities for installing regional controls (i.e., facilities that treat drainage from multiple parcels), potentially in combination with existing flood control basins, if present. The GI retrofit sites identified as potentially feasible through the GIS analysis can then be analyzed in terms of potential for reduction of POC loads and runoff volume for the area tributary to each potential retrofit location. The evaluation will be based on a hydrologic budget combined with land use-based pollutant loading. Ideal locations are those where GI control measures could be installed that can treat higher pollutant- loading land uses, such as old industrial and old urban, as well as those that can retain and/or treat as much runoff onsite from the target design storm as is feasible using infiltration and evapotranspiration. The approach to identifying public retrofit project sites and regional project sites will be documented in the memorandum produced as part of this Task, and carried out as part of Task 4. Memorandum Based on discussions with the City during the kick-off meeting, Geosyntec will document the proposed approach to conducting the two main analyses identified (i.e. calculating total area targets, and identifying public GI retrofit and regional project locations) in a technical memorandum. The memorandum will be provided to the City in draft form for review, and a conference call will be set following City review to discuss any major questions or revisions the City may have. This memorandum will a lso be revised as needed and incorporated into the final Project Documentation as part of Task 6. The memorandum will serve to guide the analyses conducted as part of Tasks 3 and 4. Data Needs An initial data needs document will be sent to the City as an attachment to the draft Memorandum. The initial data needs will be based on the discussions with the City and the content in the draft memorandum; however, it will be updated as needed based on comments received from the City and changes incorporated into a final Data Needs request. The GIS files required to conduct the analyses are anticipated to include land use, existing stormwater and flood control infrastructure, parcel ownership, tributary information, and available information regarding site constraints, such as geotechnical hazards, groundwater contamination, underground utilities, or other data. Any of this 4.2.a Packet Pg. 44 At t a c h m e n t : 1 .

Deliverables: Draft GI Analyses Methodology Memorandum, Initial Data Needs request, Conference Call, Final Data Needs request. Task 3 – Identify Public Impervious Area Targets for Retrofit or Redevelopment Utilizing the data, ACCWP spreadsheet tool, and methodology documented in the GI Analyses Methodology Memorandum, the targets for public impervious surfaces to be retrofitted or redeveloped by 2020, 2030, and 2040, as connected to mercury and PCB load reduction requirements in MRP Provisions C.11 and C.12 will be calculated. The result of these analyses are anticipated to provide an estimation of the total area needed to be retrofit or redeveloped as well as the total area feasibly retrofit or redeveloped by the target dates. The area targets will be summarized in a table and planning level map and shared with the City. Deliverables: Target area calculation result table, planning level map. Task 4 – Identify Retrofit Projects and Regional Projects Utilizing the methodology summarized in the GI Analyses Methodology Memorandum, ACCWP GIS Tool (if available), and data provided by the City, public and private GI retrofit projects and potential regional project locations will be identified. Prior to initiating the analyses and/or as part of Task 3, Geosyntec will work with the City to identify existing, planned, or potential GI projects that should be included in the prioritization analysis. These identified parcels or regional facility locations will then be prioritized based on their implementation feasibility and load reduction potential, utilizing the approach documented in the GI Analyses Methodology Memorandum. Ideal locations are those where GI BMPs could be installed that can retain and/or treat as much runoff onsite from the target design storm as is feasible using infiltration and evapotranspiration. GI BMPs should also target areas that are comprised of higher pollutant -loading land uses, such as industrial, commercial or transportation land uses. To examine load reduction potential, the methodology described in the GI Analyses Methodology Memorandum will be used along with the ACCWP GIS Tool (if available). It is anticipated that this analyses will include an estimation of the hydrologic volume potentially captured by the proposed site (using available tributary area data) along with the potential pollutant load from adjacent land-uses. Geosyntec’s preliminary analysis of land use data shows that there are less than 9.8 acres of Old Industrial land uses within the City; however, there are approximately 2,058 4.2.a Packet Pg. 45 At t a c h m e n t : 1 .

Geosyntec will also examine locations where opportunistic retrofits could be implemented which may not meet the target design storm volume (due to site conditions/constraints), as allowed by the Draft Framework for GI Plan Development, but could result in some hydrologic or water quality benefits. The results of the prioritized analysis will be delivered to the City in a list of potentially feasible GI project sites, as well as a planning-level map of project locations. The map will indicate the identified site locations, the volume that could be captured based on the hydrologic calculations conducted using available data, the land use types draining to the site locations, and a baseline estimate of load tributary to the sites. Following delivery, the sites will be discussed with the City to eliminate any sites that are infeasible. Deliverables: List and map of potential GI project locations, including baseline estimate of tributary load. Task 5 – Cost Analysis and Memorandum Following delivery of the target area calculation list and map, as well as the list and map of potential GI project locations, Geosyntec will schedule an in-person meeting or conference call with the City of Dublin to discuss the best approach for developing a cost estimate for implementing the GI Plan, including O&M of GI projects. At this time, cost data needs will also be discussed and/or delivered to the City. Geosyntec will utilize cost data provided by the City as well as available cost data obtained from other regions that have implemented GI, including extensive data from Los Angeles County Enhanced Watershed Management Plans, to examine costs. Cost data requested from the City to conduct the analysis is anticipated to include construction costs from GI projects that have been implemented, as well as O&M costs or annual budgets, coupled with estimations of hours spent maintaining GI sites. The City cost data will be extrapolated using cost data from other regions to estimate the planning level costs of implementation of GI over MRP Term 2.0, as well as the time ranges from 2020 to 2030, and 2030 to 2040. The cost data will be documented in a short memorandum along with a summary of the calculation approach. Deliverables: In-person cost discussion meeting and data needs; Cost Analysis Memorandum including estimated costs for implementation and description of calculation approach. 4.2.a Packet Pg. 46 At t a c h m e n t : 1 .

This meeting could take place at the same time as the cost meeting or could be scheduled as a subsequent conference call. Prior to the meeting, Geosyntec will review applicable City Standards (stormwater standards as well as additional standards identified by the City) which could affect the details. Geosyntec will discuss with the City the changes needed for the details and will utilize CAD to make the changes to the files. Draft CAD detail files will be submitted to the City for review and comment. Based on feedback from the City, Final CAD detail drawings (in CAD and pdf) will be submitted to the City. This task assumes that the City or ACCWP will provide Geosyntec with the original CAD files that will be revised. Deliverables: Meeting or conference call to discuss details; Draft GI Details; Final GI Details. Task 7 – Final Documentation Geosyntec will compile the memoranda, tables, maps, and figures from Tasks 2 through 6 and develop documentation to summarize the project methods and findings. The documentation will be prepared consistent with the format included in the Framework for Green Infrastructure Plan Development (ACCWP, 2016, currently DRAFT) and anticipated planning documents. The documentation developed as part of this scope will be prepared with the intent of being directly utilized in the City’s Green Infrastructure Workplan document. Deliverables: Draft documentation summarizing the project methods, findings, and compiled result figures and tables; final documentation summarizing the methods and findings and compiled result figures and tables. Task 8 – Identify Additional Needs for SWRP As part of Task 8, Geosyntec will review plans and reports relevant to the SWRP prepared for and provided by the City. Then, using a comparison table, the work needed to complete the GI Plan will be compared to the water code requirements for the SWRP to understand the additional analyses and SWRP text that will be needed. A summary of the additional needs for the SWRP will be provided to the City of Dublin for discussion. Based on the requirements above, they are anticipated to include but are not limited to: 1. A more comprehensive summary of City watersheds and the water quality priorities for those watershed (in addition to the TMDL POCs); 4.2.a Packet Pg. 47 At t a c h m e n t : 1 .

A summary of Plan consistency or integration with GI Plan and MRP Requirements; 3. Identification of projects which could meet multiple benefits (not just reduction of TMDL POCs), including flooding, water supply, and other environmental and community benefits, using input from stakeholders and an expanded GIS analysis; 4. Prioritization of projects based on a multiple benefit approach (not just reduction of TMDL POCs); 5. Expansion on GI Plan-required implementation strategy and schedule to include additional projects; and 6. Expansion on Education and Outreach. An estimate of effort associated with the development of the SWRP will also be developed and provided to the City. Deliverables: Table comparing SWRP requirements to GI Plan requirements; Estimate of additional effort needed to complete SWRP. Task 9 – Analysis of Stormwater Capture Project Feasibility For Task 9, Geosyntec will conduct a desktop analysis to examine the feasibility of implementing stormwater capture projects in the City. These include projects that use stormwater and urban runoff as a water supply either directly via surface storage, or indirectly through groundwater recharge. The approach is anticipated to include an analysis of potential stormwater supply sources, as well as an examination of possible integration of stormwater sources to optimize yield, and a planning level investigation of where and how to transport, treat, and store the captured stormwater. Water storage and/or recharge locations are anticipated to be identified using a GIS-based feasibility analysis. Parameters which affect feasibility may include but are not limited to: d rainage; parcel ownership; geotechnical constraints; soils and geology; depth to groundwater; transport feasibility; treatment capability; runoff quantities; environmental considerations; community impacts; aesthetic concerns; and others. Feasibility data will be requested and obtained from the City, the ACCWP Tool, or other publicly available sources discussed with the City. Following receipt of data, Geosyntec will conduct an analysis to identify feasible stormwater capture project locations in GIS. Based on the watershed area and imperviousness obtained from available data, an estimate of the total runoff that could be captured in the identified project locations can be calculated. The identified locations will be displayed in a map format and the methodology used to identify the locations (which will be similar to that developed for Task 4), will be summarized in a memorandum. 4.2.a Packet Pg. 48 At t a c h m e n t : 1 .

Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Participation in the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA) Open Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Program Prepared by: Shannan Young, Environmental Coordinator EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA) is implementing Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) under the provisio ns of Chapter 29 of Division 7 of the Streets & Highways Code (commonly referred to as AB 811) on behalf of its member counties and cities. AB811 authorizes a legislative body to designate an area within which authorized public officials (including a JPA like CSCDA) and free and willing property owners may enter into voluntary contractual assessments to finance the installation of renewable energy, energy efficiency, water efficiency, seismic strengthening improvements; and electric vehicle charging infras tructure affixed to real property. CSCDA’s Commissioners pre-qualified and appointed several PACE Administrators to manage the CSCDA Open PACE program in order to offer members turn-key PACE solutions that provide residential and commercial property owners choice among prequalified PACE financing providers. The City Council will consider authorizing Open PACE Programs in Dublin. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution Consenting to the Inclusion of Properties within the Territory of the City of Dublin in the CSCDA Open PACE Programs; Authorizing the California Statewide Communities Development Authority to Accept Applications from Property Owners, Conduct Contractual Assessment Proceedings and Levy Contractual Assessments within the Territory of the City of Dublin; and Authorizing Related Actions. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no negative fiscal impact to the General Fund by consenting to the inclusion of properties within the City limits in CSCDA Open PACE. All CSCDA Open PACE administrative costs are covered through an initial administrative fee included in the property owner’s voluntary contractual assessment and an annual administrative fee, which is also collected on the property owner’s tax bill. 4.3 Packet Pg. 58 Page 2 of 3 DESCRIPTION: Under the Improvement Act of 1911 (California Streets and Highways Code Division 7), cities, counties, and special districts may create or join special tax districts through which property owners agree to special assessments. Under amendments included in AB 811 (2008), a residential or commercial property owner can access special financing (up to 15% of their property’s value) through a special tax district for permanent renewable energy, energy efficiency, and water efficiency improvements to existing structures. The property owner voluntarily enters into a contractual agreement with the special tax district in which they reside to access financing that is secured by a lien on their property and repaid as a special assessment on their property tax bill. This means that the property owner pays th e special tax at the same time and in the same manner as other property taxes and assessments. This financing approach is referred to as Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE), and programs that facilitate this form of financing are referred to as PACE programs. CSCDA Open PACE is being offered to allow property owners in participating cities and counties to finance renewable energy, energy water efficiency improvements, seismic improvements and electric vehicle charging infrastructure on their property. Participation in the assessment is 100% voluntary by the property owner. The improvements installed on the owner’s property are financed by the issuance of bonds by CSCDA. The bonds are secured by a voluntary contractual assessment levied on the owner’s property. Property owners who wish to participate in PACE agree to repay the money through the voluntary contractual assessment collected with property taxes. The voluntary contractual assessments will be levied by CSCDA and collected in annual installments through the applicable county secured property tax bill. PACE offers an advantage to some property owners over other financing options, including the following: • Some homeowners that would like to implement energy efficiency and water conservation improvements might not be eligible for a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) due to their credit rating or debt-to-income ratio; • Some homeowners who are eligible for or already have a HELOC might want to reserve their HELOC for an emergency or other expenses, an d therefore might not want to use it for energy efficiency or water conservation improvements; • HELOC interest rates are typically variable, whereas PACE assessment interest rates are fixed for the entire term of the assessment; • A HELOC’s term might be limited to one shorter than the useful life of the improvement, and therefore shorter than the term of PACE financing, which might result in un-affordable payments for the property owner; • Whereas most private loans are due upon the sale of the benefited property, the PACE obligation transfers with the property upon sale; and • For commercial property owners, PACE financing is available to some borrowers that might not meet traditional lending requirements, such as a minimum number of years in operation or years of audited financial statements. 4.3 Packet Pg. 59 Page 3 of 3 Besides the financial advantages that PACE might provide to some property owners, PACE programs that operate under the CSCDA Open PACE initiative also offer control advantages for the improvements. Most PACE program s have some built in protections safeguarding property owners working with contractors on PACE-related projects. CSCDA launched the most stringent consumer protection policies in the nation in December 2015. For example, Open PACE programs only allow property owners to work with contractors that have met the program’s screening criteria, which usually includes that the contractors are licensed, bonded, and insured and in good standing with the California Contractors State License Board. In addition, PACE pr ograms usually restrict contractors to installing eligible products, provide a fair pricing guarantee, require that contractors obtain all required permits, provide a dispute resolution mechanism, and only pay contractors for work once it has been completed to the satisfaction of the property owner. Currently the CSCDA Open PACE initiative encompasses California First (already authorized to finance PACE projects in Dublin by earlier Resolution), PACE Funding Group LLC, Alliance NRG, Spruce Finance and Clea nFund Commercial PACE Capital. In order for Dublin property owners to be eligible to access PACE financing through CSCDA Open PACE, the City would need to authorize the special tax district to serve as a provider of PACE financing to its property owners. Participating jurisdictions can withdraw from the special tax districts or PACE programs at any time by passing a resolution rescinding the authorization. Launched by CSCDA in 2015, by November 1, 2016 the initiative had been adopted by 146 municipalities in 34 of the California Counties. The following Alameda County municipalities currently participate in CSCDA Open PACE: Albany, Berkeley, Piedmont, Hayward, Oakland, Union City, Newark, San Leandro, Fremont and Alameda County. A Resolution to authorize an Open PACE program in Dublin is provided in Attachment 1. The City is already a member of the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA), and has been since August 5, 2003. CSCDA (and not the City) would be responsible for entering into voluntary contractual assessment agreements with participating property owners, levying the voluntary contractual assessments, issuing bonds to finance the Improvements and taking remedial actions in the event of delinquent assessment payments.

Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Joint Community Facilities Agreement Among the City of Dublin, Dublin San Ramon Services District and Dublin Crossing LLC. Prepared by: Jay Baksa, Financial Analyst EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council will consider approval of a Joint Community Facilities Agreement among the City of Dublin, Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD), and Dublin Crossing LLC, in order to authorize the City of Dublin Community Facilities District 2015-1 (Dublin Crossing) to finance the improvements to be owned, maintained and operated by DSRSD. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution Authorizing Execution of a Joint Community Facilities Agreement Among the City of Dublin, Dublin San Ramon Services District, and Dublin Crossing LLC, for the City of Dublin Community Facilities District 2015-1 (Dublin Crossing). FINANCIAL IMPACT: Approval of the Joint Community Facilities Agreement has no fiscal impact, but is part of the larger action relating to the formation of the City of Dublin Community Facilities District No. 2015-1 (Dublin Crossing) and the financing of certain public facilities therein. DESCRIPTION: On June 2, 2015, the City Council approved the formation of the City of Dublin Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2015-1 (Dublin Crossing) to finance certain public facilities in the Dublin Crossing project area, and formalized the City’s intent to issue debt on behalf of the CFD for such improvements. Debt service will be paid via a levy of special taxes on the properties within the CFD boundaries. Among the items to be financed are facilities that will be owned and operated by Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD), as well as certain DSRSD fees owed by the developer. These include backbone sewer, potable water, and recycled water improvements, as well as water capacity reserves fees, water meter assembly fees, and 4.4 Packet Pg. 64 Page 2 of 2 wastewater capacity reserve fees. A Joint Community Facilities Agreement (JCFA) is the instrument that will allow the CFD to finance these items. Staff anticipates bringing another, similar JCFA to the City Council for approval at a future meeting to allow for CFD financing of facilities to be owned and operated by Zone 7. Approval of the Resolution (Attachment 1) will allow the City Manager to execute the JCFA (Exhibit A to the Resolution). The JCFA has been signed by the developer, and was approved by the DSRSD Board of Directors on October 4, 2016 via Resolution 63- 16 (Attachment 3). NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: None.

Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Utility Box Art Pilot Program Design Selection Prepared by: Tegan McLane, Cultural Arts & Heritage Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council will consider a recommendation from the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission for artwork to be painted on six utility boxes along Village Parkway, under the Utility Box Art Pilot Program. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission's selections for the Utility Box Art Pilot Program. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Staff estimates the cost of the Utility Box Art Pilot Program, including artist payments and Staff time, to be approximately $7,700. Per the Public Art Ordinance, this project is eligible for funding with Public Art Fund monies, and the City Council previously approved $8,000 for the purpose of this program. DESCRIPTION: At the March 1, 2016 meeting, the City Council approved and funded a Utility Box Art Pilot Program to paint six boxes in the Village Parkway District and Dublin High School neighborhood. The Commission recommended the three boxes nearest Dublin High School (A, B, and C) be reserved for student artists working under the supervision of an adult artist or art teacher, and the three boxes in the Village Parkway District (D, E, and F) be awarded to professional artists or student artists. The City Council directed Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission to choose a theme, and the theme chosen was “Variations on a Shamrock.” Staff issued a Call for Artists on October 24, publicizing the opportunity through normal City channels (website, etc.), as well as via email to local public school art teachers, private art studios, registrants in the Cultural Arts Database, nearby cities with 4.5 Packet Pg. 76 Page 2 of 3 successful utility box art programs, and the California Cultural Arts Council website. The deadline to apply was November 21. No student applications were received for boxes A, B, and C, although Staff is aware that teachers did promote the opportunity numerous times to students. Five professional artists applied, submitting a total of nine designs for consideration for boxes D, E, and F. In light of the absence of any student submissions for boxes A, B, and C, Staff recommended, and the Commission agreed, to relax the Call for Artists specifications that six different artists be chosen and that only students be considered for the boxes near the high school. The three boxes in the high school neighborhood are frequent targets of graffiti vandals. The desire to use public art to deter graffiti on specific “problem” boxes was a significant factor in establishing this pilot program. The Commission recommended the following assignments, and Staff has confirmed with all artists that they would be willing to modify their designs, if needed, should City Council approve the Commission’s recommendation. Box A - Southbound Village Parkway at Davona Drive (near DHS) The Commission recommended a design by Kimberly Overton of Castro Valley, titled “Reaching for a Shamrock,” which features hands of various skin tones reaching for shamrocks against a light green background and was inspired by a poem written by the artist. The Commission felt this design’s theme of diversity was well-suited for a box near the high school, and the fact that it had no large solid colored areas made it less appealing as a tagging target. Box B - Southbound Village Parkway at Brighton Drive (directly opposite DHS) The Commission recommended a design by Suzanne Gayle of Hayward, titled “Electric Shamrock,” which uses bright neon colors to emphasize a happy, cheerful community. It is also a nod to Dublin’s growing technology sector. The Commission felt this colorful design would appeal to teens and busy design would make it less appealing as a tagging target. Box C - Southbound Village Parkway at Tamarack Drive (near DHS) The Commission recommended a second design by Suzanne Gayle, “Shamrock Community,” which depicts an orange cat and golden dog playing in shamrocks. The Commission felt that this design would be especially appealing to younger children, and thus was a good choice for this corner near Fredericksen Elementary. Box D - Southbound Village Parkway at Amador Valley Blvd. (in front of Oil Changer) The Commission recommended an abstract design by Kalani Ware of Fairfield who uses color and texture to portray “connection, diversity and social interaction.” The colors - green, orange, white and black -- represent the Irish community. The Commission felt the unconventional choice of a black shamrock was well-suited to an auto service facility. 4.5 Packet Pg. 77 Page 3 of 3 Box E - Northbound Village Parkway at Lewis Avenue (in front of retail complex) The Commission recommended a design by John Osgood of Danville, which depicts an abstract shamrock on the Village Parkway side of the box and a blue bird “representing nature found right here on your own backyard” on the Lewis side of the box. The artist uses layers of color to add texture and dimens ionality. The artist had applied for this location, and Commission agreed it was the best location for a box meant to be viewed from either side. Box F - Northbound Village Parkway at Dublin Boulevard (in front of Wendy's) Commission recommended one of three designs submitted by Lisa Long of Dublin. The bold, graphic design in blue, green and black, depicts shamrock -covered hills with silhouettes from Dublin history including a rancher leading a horse, a barn, Old St. Raymond church and the Kolb House. The Commission felt placing the reference to Dublin’s history in a prominent location was important. The box is near to the Crossroads mural, and Dublin Boulevard leads to Heritage Park and Museums. The box can be viewed from both directions, so patrons at t he Wendy’s drive-through will be exposed to this image Dublin’s past. The design does feature some larger, solid colored areas, but on this busy corner, they felt the tagging risk was minimal. The artists’ resumes, designs, and statements are attached. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: A courtesy notice of this item was sent to businesses and residents within 300 feet of the proposed boxes and to administrators and teachers at Dublin High School.

Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Approval of Calendar for Development of Fiscal Year 2017 -18 Budget Update Prepared by: Lisa Hisatomi, Ass't Admin Services Director/Budget EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council will consider approval of a calendar of key dates to guide the development of the City’s Fiscal Year 2017-18 Budget Update. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the budget calendar to guide the development of the City’s FY 2017-18 Budget Update. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Approval of the budget calendar does not result in any direct fiscal impact. DESCRIPTION: The City Council is required to adopt an annual budget and accompanying doc uments before the July 1 start of the new fiscal year. As Fiscal Year 2017-18 is the second year of a two-year budget cycle, the budget document will supplement the original Fiscal Year 2016-17 and Fiscal Year 2017-18 Budget, which was adopted by the City Council on June 7, 2016. There are several key dates leading to the budget adoption that require input from the City Council. With that in mind, Staff proposes the following schedule: Budget Study Session - April 4, 2017 Staff will provide the City Council with an overview of, and seek the City Council’s direction in preparing the preliminary Fiscal Year 2017-18 Budget Update and an update of the City’s 10-Year General Fund forecast.

Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Approval of City Debt Management Policy Prepared by: Jay Baksa, Financial Analyst EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council will consider approval of a Debt Management Policy, in compliance with SB 1029, which requires state and local agencies to adopt comprehensive debt management policies before any new debt can be issued, starting in January 2017. While the City currently does not anticipate going to the debt markets in the foreseeable future, it does anticipate issuing debt on behalf of the City of Dublin Community Facilities District No. 2015-1 (Dublin Crossing), and is therefore required to comply with the mandate of SB 1029. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution Establishing the City of Dublin Debt Management Policy. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the adoption of the Debt Management Policy. DESCRIPTION: In September 2016, the Governor signed SB 1029 (California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission: Accountability Reports) into law. The intent of this bill was to facilitate improved financial transparency and accessibility to information about public debt. SB 1029 requires state and local agencies to adopt comprehensive debt management policies, reflecting local, state and federal laws and regulations, before any new debt can be issued starting in January 2017. Historically, the City has primarily utilized a pay- as-you-go approach to funding capital projects, in which currently available funding sources are used for projects. As such the City currently does not have any direct debt and does not anticipate going to the debt markets in the foreseeable future. 4.7 Packet Pg. 115 Page 2 of 2 SB 1029 also applies to issuing debt on behalf of a Community Facilities District (CFD). On June 2, 2015, Council approved the formation of the City of Dublin Community Facilities District No. 2015-1 (Dublin Crossing) and adopted a Resolution Deeming it Necessary to Incur Indebtedness. The issuance of debt on behalf of Dublin Crossing will occur after January 2017, requiring the City to adopt a Debt Issuance Policy to comply with the mandate of SB 1029. The proposed Debt Management Policy (Attachment 1) is consistent with the requirements of SB 1029 and reflects the following objectives for the issuance and administration of City debt: · Minimize debt service and issuance costs · Maintain access to cost-effective borrowing · Achieve and maintain highest credit rating · Full and timely repayment of debt · Maintain full and complete financial disclosure and reporting · Ensure compliance with state and federal laws and regulations NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: None.

This policy supports the City’s conservative financial policies to assure strong financial health in the short and long term. SCOPE OF POLICY This Policy sets forth the criteria for the City’s issuance, repayment, and management of debt. The primary objective of the Policy is to establish criteria that will protect the City’s financial integrity while providing a funding mechanism to meet the City’s (or financing district’s) capital needs. The City will not rely on any form of debt to finance current operations unless there is a cash flow shortage requiring short-term debt instruments. All debt issued will be in compliance with the Policy along with all other applicable City, State, and Federal laws, rules and regulations. OBJECTIVES The purpose of the Policy is to assist the City in the pursuit of the following objectives, while providing full and complete disclosure and ensuring compliance with applicable state and federal laws  Minimize debt services and issuance costs;  Maintain access to cost-effective borrowing;  Achieve the highest possible credit rating;  Achieve full and timely repayment of debt. FINANCING PRIORITIES The Administrative Services Director shall be responsible for analyzing a financing proposal to determine if it is beneficial to the City and conforms to the City’s long-term financial planning objectives. The Administrative Services Director may recommend the use of third party consultants to help in the analysis. An analysis of proposed debt may include:  Confirmation that the capital project is eligible for bond financing;  Review of all available financing instruments for the project and determination of the most cost effective option;  Total cost of the capital project including its design, construction cost, cost of furnishings, fixtures and equipment:  Source of revenue to fund the annual debt service; 4.7.b Packet Pg. 118 At t a c h m e n t : 2 .

TYPES AND PURPOSES OF DEBT As outlined by the California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission (CDIAC), there are numerous debt instruments to fund projects. The list below represents the most typically-used debt vehicles.  Assessment Bonds - Proceeds from Assessment Bonds may be used to finance local public improvements, provided that said improvements benefit the parcels of land to be assessed. Local streets, street lights, landscaping, sidewalks and sanitary sewers are some examples of local improvements commonly financed by assessment bonds.  General Obligation Bonds - General Obligation (GO) Bonds may only be issued with two-thirds approval of a popular vote. The California State Constitution (Article XVI, Section 18) limits the use of the proceeds from GO Bonds to “the acquisition or improvement of real property”. Libraries, parks and public safety facilities are all types of facilities that could be financed with GO Bonds. The sum of all GO Bond debt outstanding is governed by a statutory legal debt limit that is disclosed in the City’s annual Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.  Certificates of Participation - Certificates of Participation (COPs) are a form of lease obligation in which the City enters into an agreement to pay a fixed amount annually to a third party, usually a private leasing company or trust structure. These leases are issued for land acquisition and capital improvements. In addition, the purchase of moveable equipment is permitted. It is typical for the asset being acquired or improved to act as the credit for the financing, but the City’s General Fund is ultimately liable for all annual debt service limits.  Financing Leases - The City may finance a capital asset by leasing it directly from the vendor or leasing company, with the lessor receiving a portion of each rental payment as tax-exempt interest.  Mello-Roos Bonds - The City may issue bonds through a Community Facilities District (CFD). These bonds must be approved by a two-third vote of the registered voters with the district (unless there are fewer than 12 registered voters, in which case the vote is by the landowners), and are secured by a special tax on the real property within the district. The bonds may be issued to finance facilities or provide services, although the facilities do not need to be physically located within the district.  Tax and Revenue Participation Notes - Tax and Revenue Participation Notes (TRANs) are routinely issued by government agencies to fund cash flow deficits in a fiscal year. TRAN proceeds may be used and expended for any purpose, including operating expenses, capital expenditures, repayment of indebtedness and investment and reinvestment. FINANCING TEAM DEFINITIONS AND ROLES 4.7.b Packet Pg. 119 At t a c h m e n t : 2 . E x h i b i t A t o t h e R e s o l u t i o n : C i t y o f D u b l i n D e b t M a n a g e m e n t P o l i c y ( 1 2 7 5 : C i t y D e b t M a n a g e m e n t P o l i c y ) The Financing Team is the working group of City Staff and outside consultants necessary to complete a debt issuance including but not limited to bond counsel, disclosure counsel, underwriter, financial advisor, trustee, pricing consultant and/or arbitrage analyst. The City will consider the professional qualifications and experiences of consultants as it relates to the particular bond issue or other financing mechanism under consideration. In certain instances, the City will conduct a request for proposal/qualification process to select such consultants. Professional service consultants will be selected by the Administrative Services Director on an as-needed basis, in conformance with the City’s Municipal Code provisions. STRUCTURE AND TERM Debt Limit California Government Code, Section 43605 sets the debt limit at 15% of the assessed value of all real and personal property of the City. Due to this Code section being enacted when assessed value was 25% of market value, the limit is calculated at one-fourth of that amount or 3.75% of assessed value. Current General Fund debt service levels as percent of budget can be found in the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFR). Term of Debt Debt will be structured for the shortest period possible, consistent with a fair allocation of costs to current and future users. The standard term of long-term debt borrowing is typically 15-30 years. Generally, no debt will be issued for periods exceeding the useful life or average useful lives of projects to be financed. Debt Repayment In structuring a bond issue, the City will manage the amortization of the debt and, to the extent possible, match its cash flow to the anticipated debt service payments. In addition, the City will seek to structure debt with aggregate level debt service payments over the life of the debt. Structures with unlevel debt service will be considered when one or more of the following exist:  Natural disasters or extraordinary unanticipated external factors make payments on debt in the early years prohibitive;  Such structuring is beneficial to the City’s aggregate overall debt payment schedule;  Such structuring will allow debt service to more closely match project revenues during the early years of the project’s operation. Bond Maturity Options For each issuance, the City will select serial bonds or term bonds or both. On the occasions where circumstances warrant, capital appreciation bonds (“CABs”) may be used. The decision to use, term, serial or CABs is typically driven by market conditions. 4.7.b Packet Pg. 120 At t a c h m e n t : 2 . E x h i b i t A t o t h e R e s o l u t i o n : C i t y o f D u b l i n D e b t M a n a g e m e n t P o l i c y ( 1 2 7 5 : C i t y D e b t M a n a g e m e n t P o l i c y ) Interest Rate Structure Conservative practice is to issue fixed rate debt. Such debt provides absolute certainty, at the time of a bond sale, as to the level of principal and interest owed annually. Variable interest rate debt is debt that resets on a periodic basis (e.g. daily, weekly, monthly). Variable debt should only be used when it best supports the City’s long-term financial condition and such debt should be capped at a level not exceeding 20-25% of debt outstanding and must be carefully analyzed and monitored. Credit Enhancement Credit enhancement may be used to improve or establish a credit rating on a City debt obligation. Types of credit enhancement include letters of credit, bond insurance and surety policies. The Administrative Services Director will recommend the use of a credit enhancement if it reduces the overall cost of the proposed financing or if the use of such credit enhancement furthers the City’s overall financial objectives. Debt Service Reserve Fund Debt service reserve funds are held by the Trustee to make principal and interest payments to bondholders in the event that pledged revenues are insufficient to do so. The City will fund debt service reserve funds when it is in the City’s overall best financial interest. The size of the reserve fund is general the lessor of: 1. 10% of par; 2. 125% of average annual debt service; 3. 100% of maximum annual debt service. In lieu of holding a cash funded reserve, the City may substitute a surety bond or other credit instrument in its place. The decision to cash fund a reserve fund rather than to use a credit facility is dependent upon the cost of the credit instrument and the investment opportunities. Additionally, the City may decide not to utilize a reserve fund if the Administrative Services Director in consultation with the underwriter and financial advisor, determines there would be no adverse impact to the City’s credit rating or interest rates. Call Options/Redemption Provisions A call option or optional redemption provision gives the City the right to prepay or retire debt prior to its stated maturity date. This option may permit the City to achieve interest savings in the future through the refunding of the bonds. Often the City will pay a higher interest rate as compensation to the buyer for the risk of having the bind called in the future. In addition, if a bond is called, the holder may be entitled to a premium payment (“call premium”). Because the cost of call options can vary depending on market conditions, an evaluation of factors will be conducted in connection with ach issuance. The Administrative Services Director shall evaluate and recommend the use of a call option on a case by case basis. 4.7.b Packet Pg. 121 At t a c h m e n t : 2 .

In certain circumstances these products can reduce borrowing costs and assist in managing interest rate risk. However, these products carry with them certain risks not faced in standard debt instruments. The Administrative Services Director shall evaluate the use of derivative products on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the potential benefits are sufficient to offset any potential costs. Refundings The City shall refinance debt to achieve savings as market opportunities arise. The Administrative Services Director shall remain cognizant of fluctuations in interest rates for the purpose of identifying refunding opportunities and prepare a present value analysis identifying the economic effects of a refunding to determine the value of refunding. Refunding may be undertaken in order to:  Take advantage of lower interest rates and achieve debt service costs savings;  Eliminate restrictive or burdensome bond covenants;  Restructure debt to either lengthen the duration of debt or free up reserve funds. METHOD OF ISSUANCE AND SALE Method of Sale Debt issues are sold to a single underwriter or to an underwriting syndicate, either through a competitive sale or a negotiated sale. A negotiated sale may involve the sale of securities to investors through an underwriter or the private placement of the securities with a financial institution or other investor. The selected method of sale will be that which is most beneficial to the City in terms or lowest net interest rate, most favorable terms in financial structure, and market conditions. The City will use competitive sales as the primary means of selling bonds. The City, however, reserves the option of pursuing a negotiated sale if there is evidence of volatile market conditions, complex security features, or other overriding factors. If the negotiated sale option is utilized, the Administrative Services Director, with the approval of City Council, will negotiate the best possible interest rates for the City. The overall objective is to obtain the lowest possible interest cost and provide pricing transparency. Initial Disclosure Requirements The City acknowledges its disclosure responsibilities. Under the guidance of Disclosure Counsel, the City will distribute or cause an underwriter to distribute its Preliminary Official Statement and final Official Statement (neither is typically required in a private placement, although in some cases a “private placement memorandum” may be required by the investor). The Financing Team shall be responsible for soliciting “material information” (as defined in Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-5) from City departments and identifying contributor who may have 4.7.b Packet Pg. 122 At t a c h m e n t : 2 .

In doing so, the Financing Team shall confirm that the Official Statement accurately states all “material” information relating to the decision to buy or sell the subject bonds and that all information in the Official Statement has been critically reviewed by an appropriate person. In connection with an initial offering of securities, the City and other members of the Financing Team will:  Identify material information that should be disclosed in the Official Statement;  Identify other persons that may have material information (contributors);  Review and approve the Official Statement;  Ensure the City’s compliance, and that of its related entities, with federal and state securities laws. Contributors shall assist in reviewing and preparing the Official Statement using his or her knowledge of the City and if appropriate, by discussing the Official Statement with other members of the contributor’s department to ensure accuracy. The Administrative Services Director shall review the Official Statement, identify any material differences in the presentation of financial information from the financial statements and ensure there are no misstatements or omissions of material information in any sections that contain information prepared by the Finance Department or of relevance to the finances of the City. The City Attorney (or designee) shall review the official Statement descriptions of (i) any material current, pending or threatened litigation, (ii) any material settlements or court orders and (iii) any other legal issues that are material information for purposes of the Official Statement. The approval of an Official Statement shall be placed on the Written Communication portion of the City Council agenda and shall not be considered as a Consent Calendar Item. The staff report will summarize the City Council’s responsibilities with respect to the Official Statement and provide the City Council the opportunity to review the Official Statement. CREDITWORTHINESS OBJECTIVES Ratings are a reflection of the general fiscal soundness of the City and the capabilities of its management. Typically, the higher the credit ratings are, the lower the interest cost is on the City’s debt issues. To enhance creditworthiness, the City is committed to prudent financial management, systematic capital planning, and long-term financial planning. Bond Ratings The Financing Team will assess whether a credit rating should be obtained for an issuance. The City will seek a rating from at least one nationally recognized rating agency on new and refunded issues being sold in the public market. 4.7.b Packet Pg. 123 At t a c h m e n t : 2 .

Arbitrage Compliance The City shall follow a policy of full compliance with all the arbitrage and rebate requirements of the federal tax code and Internal Revenue Service regulations. The City shall engage qualified third parties for the preparation of arbitrage and rebate calculations. All necessary rebates will be filed and paid when due. Ongoing Disclosure The City shall comply with the requirements of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate (s) entered into at the time of each bond issue. The Administrative Services Director shall be responsible for providing ingoing disclosure information to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board’s (MSRB’s) Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) system, the central depository designated by the Securities and Exchange Commission for ongoing disclosure by municipal issuers. Compliance with Other Bond Covenants The City shall comply with all covenants and conditions contained in governing law and any legal documents entered into at the time of the bond offering.

Conduit Financing: The issuance of securities by a governmental entity to finance a project that will primarily benefit a third party. The security for this type of financing is the credit of the third party.

Industrial development bonds are a common type of conduit refinancing. Continuing Disclosure: The requirement by the Securities and Exchange Commission for most issuers of municipal debt to provide current financial information to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board for access by the general marketplace. Coupon Rate: The interest rate on specific maturities of a bond issue.

Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Acceptance of Dublin Library Tenant Improvements and Related Actions Prepared by: Rosemary Alex, Parks & Facilities Development Coordinator EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On June 7, 2016 the City Council awarded a construction contract for the Dublin Library Tenant Improvements (CIP Project No. PK0315). The work is now complete and ready for City Council acceptance. Staff is also seeking City Council approval of a contract amendment for architectural services, a change order for construction costs, and a budget change to cover the increased costs to close out the project. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution Accepting the Dublin Library Tenant Improvements (CIP No. PK0315); adopt the Resolution Approving Amendment #2 to the Consulting Services Agreement between the City of Dublin and Bull Stockwell Allen Architects; authorize the City Manager to execute Contract Change Order #4 with A & E Emaar Company; and approve the budget change. FINANCIAL IMPACT: A Budget Change is necessary to cover additional design fees related to mechanical and electrical upgrades during construction and a final construct ion change order which exceeds the 10% construction contingency. Existing Project Budget: $267,456.00 Budget Change (Needs Approval): $9,502.00 Total Project Budget: $276,958.00 Bull Stockwell Allen Architects Original Contract Amount: $25,900.00 Amendment #1: $16,900.00 Amendment #2 (Needs Approval): $6,800.00 Total BSA Contract: $49,600.00 Construction Contract Original Contract Amount: $176,200.00 4.8 Packet Pg. 133 Page 2 of 3 Changes Orders #1, 2 & 3 $17,620.00 Change Order #4 (needs approval): $2,612.25 Total Construction Contract: $196,432.25 Total Other Project Soft Costs: $30,925.75 DESCRIPTION: On June 7, 2016, the City Council approved a construction contract with A&E Emaar for the Dublin Library Tenant Improvement project , CIP No. PK0315. The scope of work included installation of new storefront doors, HVAC and fire sprinkler modifications along with lighting and electrical work to improve 1,400 square feet of Library expansion area for the Center for the 21st Century Skills. Occupancy was granted by the City’s Building Department on December 27th, 2016 and the Library intends to program the space as soon as feasible. With the work complete, Staff is seeking formal City Council acceptance of the project. During construction there were additional modifications necessary to properly execute the project including modifications to the HVAC system, additional electrical requirements for A/V equipment to be provided by the Library, and the installation of new door hardware. Amendment #2 to the Agreement between the City of Dublin and Bull Stockwell Allen Architects is for the additional architectural, mechanical and electrical design fees to make the necessary modifications during construction. Additionally, those design changes resulted in change orders to the construction contract with A&E Emaar. Changes Orders 1, 2 and 3 were within the 10% contingency authorized to be approved by the City Manager, but Change Order 4, for additional door modifications and hardware and installation of a code compliant exit sign, exceeded the available construction budget and City Manager approval authority. A Budget Change in the amount of $9,500.00 is required to cover both the additional design fees and construction change orders. The City presently holds a performance bond in the amount of $176,200 to provide the necessary security for the performance of the work involved. Since the work is now complete and ready for acceptance, the performance security requirement can be reduced in accordance with authority contained in Section 66499.7 of the Government Code, to an amount necessary to guarantee warranty of the work for a one -year period following acceptance of the work. The Contractor will provide a new maintenance bond in the amount of $19,638, which is 10% of the final contract amount, and is sufficient to cover the one-year guarantee period. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: A Notice of Completion will be filed with Alameda County upon City Council action. A copy of the Staff Report was sent to Bull Stockwell Allen Architects, A&E Emaar and the Alameda County Library. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Amendment to Agreement with Triple HS, Inc. dba HT Harvey & Associates for the Dougherty Road Improvements, Project No. ST0911 Prepared by: Michael Boitnott, Senior Civil Engineer EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council will consider approval of an amendment to the agreement with Triple HS, Inc. dba HT Harvey & Associates to provide additional wildl ife monitoring in conformance with the various regulatory permits required for the Dougherty Road Improvements (CIP No. ST0911). STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution Approving Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with Triple HS, Inc. dba HT Harvey & Associates to Provide Consulting Services for the Dougherty Road Improvements, Project No. ST0911. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The existing agreement with Triple HS, Inc. dba HT Harvey & Associates is set at a not - to-exceed amount of $44,699. The proposed amendment would increase the agreement by $50,000 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $94,699. Sufficient funds are available in the budget for the Dougherty Road Improvement Project (CIP No. ST0911). DESCRIPTION: On August 2, 2016, the City of Dublin entered into an Agreement with Triple HS, Inc. dba HT Harvey & Associates to perform biological resources mitigation monitoring for the Dougherty Road Improvements (CIP No. ST0911). The project is currently under way to widen Dougherty Road from four lanes to six lanes between Sierra Lane and the Northern City limits. The original agreement included a scope that relied on limited information on how the project contractor would perform work, but provided enough hours to get monitoring and compliance reporting in line with the start of that work. The project is located in a potential habitat area where some environmentally sensitive or protected species might be encountered. The City obtained permits from the U.S. 4.9 Packet Pg. 168 Page 2 of 2 Fish and Wildlife Services and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to cover construction activities. These permits require that an approved biologist observe the initial ground disturbing activities and provide periodic observation of the work to ensure that the project is complying with the permit requirements. Since that time, Staff has a better understanding of how the contractor is performing the work which has allowed the HT Harvey & Associates to refine their monitoring and compliance reporting hours. Based on this refined information, it is anticipated that the Agreement will need to be amended, for a new not -to-exceed amount of $94,699. The amendment will allow for additional contract hours for biological monitoring and for preparing reports in compliance with the regulatory agency permits. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: Copy of the Staff Report was sent to HT Harvey & Associates. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Amendment No. 1 to Consulting Services Agreement with Contract Sweeping Services Prepared by: Dan Stevenson, Public Works Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council will consider an amendment to the consulting services agreement with Contract Sweeping Services for street sweeping services to include term expiration clarification, a Consumer Price Index (CPI) compensation increase, and amend invoicing terms and conflict of interest language. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution Approving Amendment No. 1 to the Consulting Services Agreement with Contract Sweeping Services. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The 3.2% CPI increase proposed in the amendment for Contract Sweeping Services will result in a contract increase of $2,218 for the remainder of the Agreement. DESCRIPTION: On June 6, 2012, the City of Dublin entered into an agreement with Contract Sweeping Services to provide street sweeping services for residential and commercial streets, as well as parking lots at City parks and facilities. The current Agreement did not specify a termination date for the agreement other than to indicate that the a greement commenced on June 6, 2012, and that the duration was to be for five years. The Amendment proposes to establish the Agreement termination date as June 30, 2017, which would be consistent with other agreements in terms of fiscal year renewal and current budget cycle. Contract Sweeping Services has also requested the City consider a CPI increase as their operating costs have escalated since the commencement of the Agreement. The current CPI index of 3.2% appears reasonable considering loaded labor co sts, vehicle 4.10 Packet Pg. 206 Page 2 of 2 acquisition and maintenance costs, and sweeping refuse disposal costs have all increased significantly since 2012. The current contract Agreement did not specify any adjustments, which is customary and should have been included in the Agreemen t. The proposed Amendment also addresses updating language that is now standard for agreements that the City is currently using. Specifically, the language updates includes that of invoicing and conflict of interest language terms. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: None. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Amendments to Dublin Zoning Ordinance Chapter 8.40 (Accessory Structures and Uses Regulations) and Chapter 8.80 (Second Units Regulations) PLPA 2016-00062 Prepared by: Amy Million, Principal Planner EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Senate Bill (SB) 1069 and Assembly Bill (AB) 2099 broadens the State’s affordable housing efforts by relaxing the standards for second units (aka “accessory dwelling units”). Among other things, the enactment of SB 1069 and AB 2099 requires that local agencies provide for a ministerial review of proposed accessory dwelling units, and limits the regulations that local agencies can impose on such units. Additionally, the bills prohibit the imposition of parking standards under specified circumstances. The proposed Zoning Ordinance amendments reflect these changes to the law as they relate to setbacks, allowable unit size and the parkin g requirement based on specified parameters. Additionally, other minor amendments are proposed to clarify the review of second dwelling units. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Conduct the public hearing, deliberate, waive the reading and INTRODUCE an Approving Amendments to Dublin Zoning Ordinance Chapters 8.40 (Accessory Structures and Uses Regulations) and 8.80 (Second Units Regulations) Effective City- Wide PLPA-2016-00062. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. DESCRIPTION: The State Legislature has found that California f aces a severe housing crisis and determined that second units or “accessory dwelling units” are a valuable form of housing in California which provide housing for family members, students, the elderly, in-home health care providers, the disabled, and other s, at below market prices within 6.1 Packet Pg. 233 Page 2 of 4 existing neighborhoods. It is the intent of the Legislature that local ordinances do not unreasonably restrict the ability of homeowners to create second units through regulation of matters such as unit size, parking, fees, and other requirements or a discretionary review process. Senate Bill (SB) 1069 and Assembly Bill (AB) 2099 will amend Section 65852.2 of the California Government Code. The enactment of SB 1069 and AB 2099 require that local agencies continue to provide a ministerial review of second dwelling units, and further limits the regulations that local agencies can impose on such units. The new law will become effective January 1, 2017 and require amendments to the City’s regulation of second units. Therefore, Staff is proposing Zoning Ordinance amendments to the Accessory Structures and Uses Regulations (Chapter 8.40) and Second Units Regulations (Chapter 8.80) in order to comply with State law and to ensure that the Zoning Ordinance remains internally consistent. ANALYSIS: The Dublin Zoning Ordinance currently allows for the establishment of a second unit on a lot with an existing, detached, single-family dwelling unit in the Single-Family Residential (R-1) zoning district and in some Planned Development zoning districts. Further, the Second Unit Regulations (Chapter 8.80 of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance) allow any application for a second unit that meets the Development Standards and Regulations to be approved ministerially without discretionary review or a public hearing as required by current State law. With the passage of SB 1069 and AB 2099, State law requires the City to relax certain development standards for second units including, setbacks, parking standards and unit size. Staff is proposing an amendment to Chapter 8.80 (Second Units Regulations) to comply with the changes in State law and Chapter 8.40 (Accessory Structures and Uses Regulations) for clarification. An overview of the proposed amendments is provided below. For the complete Zoning Ordinance amendments, refer to the proposed Ordinance, Attachment 1. Chapter 8.80 (Second Units Regulations) Unit Size. The City’s existing second unit regulations require the total floor area of a second unit to be at least 275 square feet and no more than 1,000 square feet. Further, in no case shall a second unit exceed 35% of the total floor area of the existing single-family residence. State law increased the maximum unit size to 1,200 square feet for detached and attached second units, but in no case greater than 50% of the existing floor area of the single-family residence for attached second units. The law continues to allow the local jurisdictions to determine the minimum size. Setbacks. The City’s existing second unit regulations use the development standards for the R-1 Zoning District with a few exceptions. The new law requires additional exception for setbacks when the second dwelling unit is constructed 6.1 Packet Pg. 234 Page 3 of 4 above a garage or when an existing garage is converted to a second dwelling unit. Parking. The City’s existing second unit regulations require one off-street parking space to be provided in addition to the two off -street parking spaces required for the single-family residence. In order to comply with State law, the proposed ordinance will not require parking for the second unit in any of the five following instances: (1) The accessory dwelling unit is located within one -half mile radius of a public transit stop. (2) The accessory dwelling unit is located within an architecturally and historically significant historic district. (3) The accessory dwelling unit is within the existing primary residence or an existing accessory structure. (4) When on-street parking permits are required but not offered to the occupant of the accessory dwelling unit. (5) When there is a car share vehicle located within one block of the accessory dwelling unit. Deed Restriction. The City’s existing second unit regulations require a deed restriction to be recorded stating the City’s occupancy requirements, i.e. one of the units on the property must be owner-occupied, either unit may be vacant, second unit may not be sold separately, etc. The proposed amendments delete this requirement as it is not necessary for enforcement of the Second Unit Ordinance and its application is legally questionable. Chapter 8.40 (Accessory Structures and Uses Regulations) Staff is also proposing associated amendments to Chapter 8.40 (Accessory Structures and Use Regulations) to clarify that the implementation of the Second Units Regul ations is independent from the regulations for accessory structures and accessory uses. The following discussion summarizes the proposed amendments to this chapter. A second unit, while considered an accessory use to a single -family residence, is not subject to the regulations of Chapter 8.40 (Accessory Structures and Uses Regulations). As such, an amendment to Section 8.40.020 D (Requirements for Specific Accessory Structures that Apply City-wide) and Section 8.80.030 C (Requirements for Specific Accessory Uses that Apply City-wide) is proposed to clearly separate the regulations for accessory structures and accessory uses from the regulations for second units. This is consistent with the current implementation of the Zoning Ordinance and simply provides clarification. 6.1 Packet Pg. 235 Page 4 of 4 CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN, SPECIFIC PLAN AND ZONING ORDINANCE: The proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments are consistent with the Dublin General Plan, including the Housing Element, all applicable Specific Plans and the Zoning Ordinance in that the Amendments are consistent with applicable land use designations and general development policies. The amendments include minor revisions for internal consistency within the Zoning Ordinance. PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW: On December 13, 2016, the Planning Commission reviewed the draft ordinance and adopted Resolution No. 16-25, by a 3-0 vote, recommending the City Council adopt the Ordinance approving amendments to Dublin Zoning Ordinance Chapters 8.40 (Accessory Structures and Uses Regulations) and 8.80 (Second Units Regulations) effective citywide. The Planning Commission draft minutes from the December 13, 2016 meeting and Resolution 16-25 are included as Attachments 2 and 3 respectively. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: In accordance with State law, a public notice was published in the East Bay Times and posted at several locations throughout the City. The Public Notice was provided to all persons who have expressed an interest in being notified of meetings. The Staff Report for this public hearing was also made available on the City’s website. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with State Guidelines and City Environmental Regulations require that certain projects be reviewed for environmental impacts and that environmental documents be prepared. Pursuant to the CEQA, Staff is recommending that the project be found exempt in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that the amendments to Title 8 of the Dublin Municipal Code (Zoning Ordinance) will not have a significant effect on the environment. The adoption of the proposed Ordinance does not, in itself, allow the establishment of any use or the construction of any building or structure, but sets forth the regulations that shall be followed if and when a use is proposed to be established, or a building or structure is proposed to be constructed, or a site is proposed to be developed. This Ordinance of itself, therefore, has no potenti al for resulting in significant physical change in the environment, directly or ultimately. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Cm. Mittan asked if there are any areas within Dublin that are outside the one half mile radius of a public transit stop. Ms. Million answered yes; she stated that it applies to any existing bus stop as well as the BART stations. Cm. Mittan asked, if the City did not approve the ordinance, would the state law still be in effect. Ms. Million answered yes. Cm. Mittan felt that this ordinance was similar to the marijuana use ordinance in that the City is taking steps to adjust the City’s ordinance to comply with the State’s statutes. 6.1.b Packet Pg. 242 At t a c h m e n t : 2 .

Cm. Mittan asked if the City receives many requests for garage conversions or second units. Mr. Baker answered that the City does not receive many requests for either. He went on to say what the City more typically sees are second units included in some of the new developments but not many in the existing neighborhoods. Cm. Mittan stated that he lived in Castro Valley where it was common to subdivide a lot to build a second unit. Cm. Bhuthimethee felt that the fees to construct a second unit are cost prohibitive. Cm. Mittan asked if the fee structure for second units will change. Kit Faubion, Assistant City Attorney, responded that the legislature is contemplating the regulation of fees on 2nd units because that has been a major obstacle. She stated that there is a provision that applies to limiting utility connection fees, but that is only a small number. She stated that there has been a discussion at the State level regarding various clean-up measures to deal with the issue of fees. Cm. Mittan asked if sewer fees are one of the ma in fees that are an issue. Cm. Bhuthimethee felt that the State bill waives the sewer connection fee. Ms. Faubion answered that would apply to cities and counties but not for districts; such as the Dublin San Ramon Services District. She stated that the bill defines the provider as a city and/or county which is part of the clean-up measure at the state level. Cm. Bhuthimethee asked if the state law restricted an increase to square footage to 50% for attached units. Ms. Million answered yes; the State is separating the requirements, and stated that the restriction is for a flat square footage amount of 1,200sf and that applies to both attached and detached units. She added that the threshold percentage only applies to attached units. Cm. Bhuthimethee stated that the ordinance mentions the parking in “historically significant districts” and asked where those districts would be located in Dublin. Mr. Baker answered that the Heritage Park project is located within the Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan area. Cm. Bhuthimethee asked if the Heritage Park lots would be too small. Mr. Baker answered yes, but a second unit could possibly be incorporated inside the footprint of the home. 6.1.b Packet Pg. 243 At t a c h m e n t : 2 .

Bhuthimethee asked if the 5 foot setback would only apply to a second unit located above the garage. Ms. Million answered that the changes in the setbacks were specific to new construction above the garage and a garage conversion. She felt that the reason the State specified it is because, if there was an existing garage that wouldn’t meet the setbacks for a second unit, it would be allowed to be grandfathered in for that conversion. Cm. Bhuthimethee felt that the setback for a garage conversion would be applicable to older properties. Cm. Mittan asked what the City’s requirements would be regarding garage conversions, east side vs west side. Mr. Baker answered that the property owner would need a CUP for a garage conversion which would require Planning Commission approval. Cm. Mittan asked if the property owner could eliminate the garage and felt that a lot of homeowners are already doing this. Mr. Baker stated that they would need a permit, and also they would need to meet parking requirements and the setbacks. Cm. Mittan asked if they could convert the existing garage and then build a new garage. Mr. Baker answered that the property owner could do that if the setbacks could be met.

Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Dublin Boulevard Improvements - Sierra Court to Dublin Court: Project Update, Approval of Plans and Specifications and Authorization to Bid a Project Phase Prepared by: Michael Boitnott, Senior Civil Engineer EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council will receive an update on the Dublin Boulevard Improvements Project (CIP No. ST1012). Additionally, Staff is requesting City Council approve the plans and specifications, as well as authorize the bidding of the first phase of the project. The undergrounding of utilities is the first phase of construction and provides for the undergrounding of electric, cable TV, and communication lines, and the removal of overhead poles, along Dublin Boulevard from Sierra Court to Dublin Court. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Receive the Project update and adopt the Resolution Approving the Plans and Specifications and Authorizing Bidding for the Undergrounding of Utilities in the City Of Dublin Underground Utility District 2013-1 as Part of the Dublin Boulevard Improvements – Sierra Court to Dublin Court Project (CIP No. St1012). FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget for the Dublin Boulevard Improvements Project is $6.9 million, and includes $1 million in PG&E Rule 20A funds for the undergrounding of utilities. The construction estimate for the undergrounding work is approximately $1.3 million. It is anticipated, based on the construction estimate, that additional funds may be needed for the undergrounding work. Upon receipt and evaluation of bids, if the lowest bid exceeds the existing budget, Staff will develop funding options, such as other existing street improvement funds, or other non-General Fund sources, to bring to City Council with the consideration of the construction contract. 8.1 Packet Pg. 248 Page 2 of 3 DESCRIPTION: Project Update The Dublin Boulevard Improvements Project (CIP No. ST1012) provides for the widening of Dublin Boulevard from Sierra Court to Dublin Court and for the undergrounding of existing overhead utilities within the project limits. Completion of this project will widen Dublin Boulevard from four to six lanes and install bike lanes, modify two traffic signals, install pedestrian-scaled lights, and enhance the existing landscaping. In addition to addressing traffic congestion and improving multi -modal circulation on Dublin Boulevard, including improved access to the Dublin BART stations, these improvements are necessary to conform to the General Plan. The segment of Dublin Boulevard from Sierra Court to Dublin Court is a critical east/west arterial that carries, on average, over 32,000 vehicle trips a day, with most trips occurring during the daytime. The utility undergrounding, related Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) sewer work, and road widening phases will require temporary lane closures during construction. In an effort to minimize traffic congestion, impacts to business, and impacts to the overall community, Staff is proposing to construct the improvements at night between the hours of 8:00 pm and 6:00 am, Sunday through Friday, with weekend work by special request requiring Staff approval. Utility Undergrounding On July 16, 2013, the City Council held a Public Hearing establishing Underground Utility District 2013-1 on Dublin Boulevard - Civic Plaza/Sierra Court to Dublin Court, to underground existing overhead utilities along Dublin Boulevard, in conjunction with the widening of Dublin Boulevard from two lanes to three lanes in the westbound direction, and the addition of a bike lanes in both directions. The undergrounding portion of the project will be funded with California Public Utilities Commission Rule 20A funds. The undergrounding work, which applies to Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), Comcast, AT&T and Sprint utilities, is the first phase of the widening of Dublin Boulevard. The project plans and specifications have been completed, and will include eliminating overhead utility lines on wooden poles on both sides of Dublin Boulevard between Sierra Court and Dublin Court, installing the utilities underground, and reconnecting overhead services to utility customers with new underground service connections. As part of this project, the surface improvements will be temporarily restored until the ultimate improvements are installed during the second phase widening project. This first phase of the project will be primarily funded with Rule 20A funds. Rule 20A is an electrical tariff program lead by the California Public Utilities Commission which requires a portion of new services to contribute towards the undergrounding of existing overhead utility lines. In our area, PG&E holds agencies’ Rule 20A allotments and local agencies can also borrow up to five years of future credits to be used to construct a Rule 20A project. This Project budget includes $1 million of Rule 20A funds out of a total allotment of $1.14 million (including the future five-year credits). Staff will update the Project budget to include the full allotment once the bid results are presented to the City Council at a future meeting. In addition, the program allows for agencies to borrow or purchase credits with other agencies for use on utility undergrounding projects. The purchase of credits is 8.1 Packet Pg. 249 Page 3 of 3 dependent upon the market, but usually available credits can be purchased at less than face value. The current Engineer’s Estimate for the project is $1.3 million. The City may consider the acquisition of credits should the actual construction work exceed the current credit amount and would look to fund the credit purchase with funding sources other than the General Fund. Once the construction bids are opened and evaluated, Staff would bring back any options needed to bridge any remaining funding gaps for the first phase of the project. In addition to the utility undergrounding work, DSRSD will relocate a sanitary sewer lift station that is located within the current roadway pavement. The DSRSD lift station will be relocated behind the future sidewalk to clear the way for the road widening portion of the project. The lift station work will be funded, constructed, and managed by DSRSD and will be implemented concurrently with the undergrounding work to minimize impacts to the community. This work is exempt under Section 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: Staff has started the process of reaching out to business and residential groups in the vicinity of the project to inform them of the future improvements and night construction.

Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Fire Prevention, Planning and Building Code Enforcement Overview Prepared by: Gregory Shreeve Sr., Chief Building Official EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council will receive a report on code enforcement activities within the City of Dublin. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Receive the report and provide feedback to Staff as appropriate. FINANCIAL IMPACT: No financial impact. The current fiscal year budget allocates funds for staffing to address code enforcement activities. DESCRIPTION: Background Code enforcement activities are handled in a comprehensive manner within the City of Dublin. Code enforcement cases result from proactive measures or from concerns brought to the City from the public. Depending upon the concern, enforcement may involve Staff from the Planning Division, Building & Safety Division, Fire Prevention, Police Department or the City Attorney’s Office. Each department enforces those regulations for which they are the Authority having jurisdiction as determined by the Dublin Municipal Code (DMC). The Planning Division enforces regulations related to land use, development, and general pr ivate property maintenance. These topics are regulated by the DMC primarily through the Zoning Ordinance (Title 8), the Public Welfare Ordinance (Title 5) which includes the following chapters: Property Maintenance (Chapter 5.64); Weeds and Refuse (Chapte r 5.7); and Rodent and Fly Control (Chapter 5.72). The Building & Safety Division addresses building safety by way of the California Building Standards Code as addressed in the DMC Title 7. These activities can run from working without a permit to houses with mold problems. The Fire Prevention Bureau handles the Fire Codes and National Fire 8.2 Packet Pg. 254 Page 2 of 4 Protection Association (NFPA) standards as addressed in DMC Title 5. The Bureau’s code enforcement activity runs from business license inspections to fire investigat ions. Dublin Police Services code enforcement activities general involve the criminal and vehicle codes. They also provide Staff with assistance relative to issuance of citations and security or access to sites. The City Attorney’s Office assists Staff with obtaining an inspection warrants or getting violations abated. Currently, the City has one (1) Planning Code Enforcement Officer, a half -time (.5) time Contract Building Code Enforcement Officer, and two (2) full time Contract Fire Prevention Staff whose primary duties include enforcement activities. Additional Staff members from each division can be assigned to supplement enforcement activities as necessary. The time spent on code enforcement can be modified at a moment’s notice to handle code enforcement activities as they arise. In code enforcement cases that may have violations covered by different divisions or departments, the City utilizes a Community Action Team (CAT) approach to code enforcement activities. The team consists of representati ves from Crime Prevention, Fire Prevention, Planning and Building & Safety Divisions. Other departments are brought in as necessary for their expertise in the case. Example of other departments may include Public Works or the City Attorney’s Office. Thi s method allows for a coordinated approach to the situation, better customer service and quicker resolution to all violations on the property. The CAT team meets on a regular basis to ongoing coordination, compare cases and discuss where joint action is needed. Code Compliance Code violations are identified by way of proactive and reactive enforcement (i.e. complaint based). Proactive enforcement typically includes observations made by enforcement staff while regularly “patrolling” the City, observations made by a Contract Building Inspector during a scheduled building permit inspection or by the Fire Code Compliance Officer during a routine Business License Inspection or Annual / Tri -Annual Fire Inspection. Reactive enforcement is complaint based and rep orted to the City through multiple platforms which include a phone call, e-mail, letter and on-line via the City’s website. Complaint can be made anonymously. All proactive and reactive cases are investigated, as per City Resolution # 150-09, this includes anonymous complaints. Staff utilizes procedures that attempt to obtain code compliance voluntarily; this is done through site visits, letters, warning notices and pre-citation letters. When Staff is unable able to obtain code compliance voluntarily, c itations will be issued. Depending on the life safety risk, Staff may seek a court order for correction of the violations. Code Enforcement As stated earlier proactive code enforcement is performed utilizing a few different methods. These methods are as follows: Contract Building Inspectors drive throughout the City on the way to their scheduled inspections. Inspectors, by nature of their job, are observant individuals. During their ride from one inspection or job site to the next, it is not uncommon for an inspector to notice something out of the ordinary. When this occurs the inspectors will investigate and if a possible violation is observed, it is 8.2 Packet Pg. 255 Page 3 of 4 turned over to the Contract Building Code Enforcement Inspector for follow up. Contract Building Inspector notices a violation while performing an inspection of permitted work. (It is important to note the inspectors are accompanied by the permit holder’s representative and only go from the entrance to the inspection area. The Inspector is not going throughout the property or building looking for violations and does not go into areas that they are not invited). Upon the submittal of a Business License Application, the Fire Code Compliance Officer performs an inspection of the premise of the business , to verify compliance with the Building & Fire Codes and that unpermitted work has not been performed. The exception to this rule is that Home Occupation Business License Applications and Businesses outside the City of Dublin are not inspected by the Fire Code Compliance Officer. Fire staff conducts inspections of buildings as required by the State Fire Marshals Offices and the Fire Code. As well as conducting inspections of sites with operational fire permits and those under the City of Dublin’s Self -Inspection program. Proactive code enforcement represents the majority of the Planning Division and Fire Prevention Bureau’s cases. Reactive code enforcement represents the majority of Building & Safety Code Enforcement cases. The reactive code enforceme nt complaint cases involve graffiti abatement, property maintenance complaints, possible work being done without City permits, Housing Code violations. Code Enforcement Process Upon receiving a complaint (proactive or reactive are treated the same), the information on the potential code violation is forwarded to the Division / Department responsible for the type of complaint. Staff visits the site and request permission to perform an inspection. If entry is granted the inspection is performed for the buil ding or premises. The results of the inspection are compared to City records and Codes to determine if a violation(s) exists. If it is determined that no violation exists, the owner and complaint are notified of the results of the inspection. If it is determined that a violation does exist, the owner of the building or premise is sent a letter explaining what the violation(s) is (are) and how to correct the violation(s). The Code Enforcement Officer will continue to work with the owner to obtain voluntary compliance. If they are unsuccessful in obtaining voluntary compliance further action will be taken, up to and including the issuance of citations (similar to a traffic ticket) and / or a court order to abate the violation. Few of the cases reach the need for the issuance of a citation and even fewer, the need for abatement by the City or a Court Order. If entry is refused and the Building Official or Fire Code Official has a reasonable cause to believe that a violation of the Codes exist in any buildi ng or premises, the Building Official or Fire Code Official has the ability to obtain an inspection warrant to perform the inspection. Additional information on the Building Official’s Right -of-Entry can be found in section 7.28.120 of the Dublin Municipa l Code. The information on the Fire Code Official's Right-of-Entry is found in section 104.3 of the Dublin Fire Code. The exception to the above process is when the complaint is anonymous. Per City 8.2 Packet Pg. 256 Page 4 of 4 Council Resolution 150-09, all anonymous complaints will be investigated. However, no action will be taken on anonymous complaints where the City Manager, Community Development Director, Public Works Director or Building Official determines that the matter does not warrant further action. Conclusion As you can see from above, the City’s has a robust and cooperative code enforcement program. While no program can ensure 100% safety, the City's actions on code enforcement results in an extremely high level of safety throughout the community.

Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Mayor’s Appointments of Planning Commissioners and Potential Changes to Appointment Process Prepared by: John D. Bakker, City Attorney EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: At the December 20, 2016 meeting, the City Council considered the Mayor’s appointments to various commissions, including the Planning Commission. After approving the balance of the appointments, the City Council asked that the City Attorney provide the City Council with information regarding the City Council’s options for changing the process for making appointments to the Planning Commission. This item includes the requested information and in addition gives the City Council the opportunity to act on the Mayor’s appointments to the Planning Commission. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Receive the report, and consider the Mayor’s appointments to the Planning Commission or provide other appropriate direction. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. DESCRIPTION: At the December 20, 2016 meeting, the City Council considered the Mayor’s appointments to various City Commissions and Committees. The City Council approved all of the appointments except those to the Plannin g Commission. The City Council asked for additional information concerning the options the City Council has to change the process for appointments to the Planning Commission. As indicated in the Staff Report at the December 20, 2016 meeting (Attachment 1 ), the Mayor is recommending the appointment of Mona Lisa Ballesteros, Amit Kothari, and Stephen Wright. Background on Planning Commission Appointments 8.3 Packet Pg. 259 Page 2 of 4 State law provides that each city must have a planning agency that is responsible for carrying out certain planning related functions. The City Council may act as the planning agency, or the City Council may create a separate planning commission to act as the planning agency. If the city council establishes a separate planning commission, the city council “shall specify the membership of the commission.” (Gov. Code § 65101(a).) In general law cities where the office of mayor is an elective office, “the mayor, with the approval of the city council, shall make all appointments to boards, commission, and committees unless specifically provided by statute.” (Gov. Code § 40605.) The Attorney General has issued an opinion advising that these statutes provide a directly elected mayor of a general law city (as is the case in Dublin) with the sole authority to make appointments to the city’s planning commission, subject to the approval of the city council. (89 Ops. Cal. Atty. Gen 178 (2006).) The city council’s power to “specify the membership of the commission” gives a city council the authority to establish “the number and status of the various members, whether regular members, alternate members, ex officio members, or the like,” but does not diminish the mayor’s appointment authority in any manner. (Id.) Given the Mayor’s sole authority to make appointments to the Dublin Planning Commission, the City Council may not adopt an appointment process that transfers the Mayor’s appointment authority to the City Council at large, or to any other individual. For example, at the December 20 City Council meeting, there was some discussion about creating a process whereby the City Manager would review all applications, and select a limited number from the pool of applicants to be interviewed by the full City Council, prior to the Mayor making the final appointments. State law prohibits this type of process, since it restricts the Mayor to appointing applicants pre-selected by the City Manager. City Council Options The City Council has three options for the Planning Commissioner appointment process. 1. Approve or Reject the Mayor’s Appointments. State law and the Municipal Code provide that the Mayor’s appointments are subject to the approval of the City Council. Accordingly, the City Council may reject an appointment made by the Mayor. If the City Council rejects an appoi ntment, the Mayor may make another appointment, until an appointment is approved by the City Council. The City Council does not need to vote on the Mayor’s appointments as a group and may vote to approve or reject each one of the appointments individually. Additionally, the City Council may choose to approve one or more of the Mayor’s pending appointments but subject future appointments to the processes described below. 2. Interview the Mayor’s Appointments. 8.3 Packet Pg. 260 Page 3 of 4 Prior to deciding whether to approve or reject the Mayor’s appointments, the City Council may interview the selected individuals. The interviews can occur at a regular or special meeting of the City Council. Performing these interviews is consistent with California law, since it does not diminish the Mayor’s appointment authority. It would simply be part of the City Council’s consideration of approving or disapproving the appointments. 3. Establish Specific Qualifications for Planning Commissioners. As referenced above, California law allows the City Council to “specify the membership of the commission.” While the relevant sections of state law do not define precisely what “specify the membership” means, it is reasonable to conclude that the City Council has the authority to establish criteria or qualifications for serving on the Planning Commission. For example, the City Council may establish a requirement that all applicants have previously attended a meeting of the Planning Commission. The City Council may also choose to establish criteria f or the Planning Commission as a whole, for example, by requiring at least one member of the Commission to be a licensed architect. If the City Council desires to establish criteria for service on the Commission, the City Council must adopt an ordinance ame nding the Municipal Code to incorporate the selected criteria. If criteria are adopted, the Mayor would be required to appoint individuals that meet the qualifications. Note, certain specific criteria, such as a requirement that applicants must have lived in the City for an extended period of time prior to appointment, may be prohibited by state or federal law. Appointment Processes in Other Communities As a general law city with a directly elected mayor, Dublin is in a different situation t han most other neighboring cities. In general law cities without a directly elected mayor, state law does not require that the Mayor make all appointments; the appointments are made by the City Council directly. Similarly, charter cities, such as San Ramon and Hayward, are not governed by the provisions of state law and can adopt their own processes for appointing commissioners. We were unable to find any general law cities with directly elected mayors in either Alameda or Contra Costa Counties that have adopted criteria for service on the city’s planning commission or that require applicants to undergo interviews. Please note, that while the terms of certain planning commissioners ended at the end of December 2016, the Dublin Municipal Code provides that c ommissioners with expiring terms shall serve until their successors are appointed. (DMC § 2.12.020(A).) Accordingly, those commissioners whose terms expired in December 2016, and who have not otherwise resigned or forfeited the office, may continue to serve until the City Council approves the Mayor’s new appointments.
