On motion of Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Howard, and by unanimous vote, the Council confirmed the appointment of Dan Downey to the Planning Commission. Because this creates a vacancy on the Park & Recreation Commission, the City Clerk was directed to schedule appointments for the subcommittee to interview those applicants who expressed an interest in serving on the Park & Recreation Commission in the event of future openings. * * * PRESENTATION BY ZONE 7 (1000-20) Jim Dixon, General Manager advised that they are continuing to see an increase in water rates, and probably will in the foreseeable future. The EPA is constantly changing the rules to provide a higher quality of water. They add 10 or 15 tests each year. Of the 14 first rate nations, we are one up from the bottom in terms of our water. He referenced an article from Parade Magazine. They were asked what they will be doing to streamline their fixed costs. This year, they will be getting 100% of their water from the State. They experienced a great increase in costs this year. Their 1991 sales were cut by 38% and they had increased costs. Their costs don't go down when they deliver less water. Pleasanton has asked them to use.th'eir reserves until economic times get better. A chart was distributed and reviewed. $3.74 per acre foot is the real water rate. Cm. Burton asked and was informed that there are 43,560 cubic feet in an acre. Each family uses about ½ acre foot per year, or about $200 worth, wholesale. The balance is the mark up that DSRSD charges. Mr. Dixon explained that the average water bill will be about $20 to $30 per month. The rest is what the District charges to get the water to us. Cm. Moffatt asked if these costs were based on treated or raw water. Mr. Dixon stated treated and it is treated water that goes to the retailers. They sell agricultural water at 10% plus what the State charges them. It is about $50 to $60 per acre foot. A drought tolerant landscaping demonstration garden is being put in in Pleasanton. They are actively working with the State to have them fix the State Aqueduct. They are also actively negotiating with people in the Valley for water transfers. This is a new field. Conservation, water reclamation and water transfers is how they anticipate meeting their needs. CM - VOL 12 - 219 Regular Meeting May 24, 1993 Cm. Moffatt asked if his Board views water as a means for restricting land use. Mr. Dixon stated they are concerned about how to pay for the additional water supply. They will have to put a future water purchase together so that it doesn't add costs to them. Cm. Burton asked Mr. Dixon to elaborate on redistribution of agricultural water. Mr. Dixon discussed recent legislation which mandates that a certain amount of water could be transferred. Cm. Burton stated he had heard that 85% of the water in California goes to agriculture. Mr. Dixon stated this was correct. Everyone who gets water from the State pays what we pay. They are trying to do this in a way that they don't lose farm land. Cm. Burton felt the issue in the fUture will be possibly changing crops. Cm. Howard questioned if they anticipated future increases in that there has been more than a 60% increase in rates for park watering. Mr. Dixon stated~they will be relooking at this in light of this years water needs. They may be looking at 5% to 10% increases in the next few years. He felt the State will be putting on a surcharge of $10 to $50 to fix the environmental problems in California. Mayor Snyder asked that Mr. Dixon discuss the situation of them looking for water south of the Delta. Mr. Dixon referenced this and adVised that when an endangered species is found and identified, any one of 5 different agencies can shut things down. The drought has caused severe problems. The Council thanked Mr. Dixon for the informative presentation of a very complicated subject. Budget Deficit Concerns (330-80) Frank Ruskey stated he wanted to talk about the budget deficit. Also, it had recently been brought to his attention that a 3½% pay raise was given to the Fire Department. This was not brought to a full vote of the City Council. This was passed withOut a full vote of the Council. He therefore submitted that some of the people of the Valley were not represented on how the City's money is being spent. This is a problem. CM - VOL 12 - 220 Regular Meeting May 24, 1993 Regarding the City's budget problems, he got a report from Staff, and felt they did an excellent job. However, what has not been addressed is the Police Department. Business is business and he suggested that the CitY consider letting the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Department, who just laid off 33% of their personnel, submit a proposal to provide police services to the City. He did not see anything wrong with having another agency in another county giving us a proposal. Our Police Department responds to calls very fast and they are very efficient. We may, however, want to lOok at shifting to 2 patrolmen per vehicle instead of one with a separate backup vehicle. A lot of calls come from the low income housing up on Dougherty Road. The City should be looking at ways of reducing the number of cars. The next place he would look for cuts is the Planning Board. He strongly recommended that the City bring in an independent appraiser to look at all the different diviSions of the City. Mayor Snyder advised that during the budget process, there will be a lot of identified areas that the City Council will review. With regard to the Fire Department, 3 elected members from Dublin and 3 from San Ramon sit as the Fire Authority Board. The City of Dublin generates approximately 60% of the budget for DRFA and the dollars that are contributed toward fire service are put in through the budget process. Mr. Ambrose clarified that Fire Department personnel are not employees of the ~City. It is a separate legal entity. Their Board of Directors approve the labor contracts. Mayor Snyder advised that the DRFA Board meetings are open to the public, but hardly anyone attends. They have been meeting for the past year here at the Dublin Civic Center. Starting in July, the meetings will be in San Ramon. Mr. Ruskey thanked Mayor Snyder for clarifying the information. CONSENT CALENDAR On motion of Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. Howard, and by unanimous vote, the Council took the follOwing actions: Approved Minutes of Adjourned Regular Meeting of April 27 and Regular Meeting of May 10, 1993; Authorized the Mayor to execute an agreement to add Tag's Towing to the rotational tow list for the removal of abandoned vehicles from City streets (600-30); Received the April 1993 Financial Report (330-50); CM - VOL 12 - 221 Regular Meeting May 24, 1993 Adopted RESOLUTION NO. 55 - 93 APPROVING ANAGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF DUBLIN AND ALAMEDA COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT FOR PERVIOUS CONCRETE AND SAND FILTER PILOT PROJECT (600-40 & 830-20) Adopted RESOLUTION NO. 56 - 93 APPROVING PRELIMINARY ENGINEER'S REPORT, CONFIRMING DIAGRAM AND ASSESSMENT FOR STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 83-1 (360-50) and RESOLUTION NO. 57 - 93 APPOINTING TIME AND PLACE OF HEARING PROTESTS IN RELATION TO PROPOSED ASSESSMENTS (July 26 & August 9, 1993) Adopted RESOLUTION NO. 58 - 93 AWARDING CONTRACT 93-07 SIDEWALK SAFETY GRINDING TO CENTRAL COAST SURFACE GRINDING ($9,215) 600-30 Adopted RESOLUTION NO. 59 - 93 AUTHORIZING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF DUBLINAND ALAMEDA COUNTY REGARDING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAMS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1993-94 (600-40) Adopted RESOLUTION NO. 60 - 93 AWARDING CONTRACT 93-06 ($70,192.65) ANNUAL STREET SLURRY SEAL PROGRAM TO AMERICAN ASPHALT REPAIR &'RESURFACING CO., INC.

INCREASE IN BUILDING PERMIT FEES DONALD WALLEN REQUEST FOR EXEMPTION (440-20) Chief Building Official Taugher advised that on April 1, 1993, Donald R. Wallen submitted an application for a building permit to alter the 3rd floor of a building located at 11501 Dublin Boulevard. The applicant was advised on April 12th that the permit was ready to be issued whenever the Owner-builder form, list of Subcontractors and Certificate of Workers' Compensation Insurance were filed. The applicant was advised at that time that the fee would be $810. Mr. Taugher explained that the City Council approved a new fee schedule on April 26, 1993, which applied to all permits issued after that date. At that time, there were 11 permit applications pending, which totalled $4,602 under the old and $8,856 under the new fee schedule. Four of the 11 permits have been issued thus far under the new fee schedule. Mr. Taugher stated the CoUncil has the option of revising the fee schedule to make it appliCable to applications filed after April 26th, or another option would be to grant Variances to the fee schedule when an individual request is made. A third option would be for no action to be taken, in which case the higher fee would apply to Mr. Wallen. Mr. Taugher requested that the City Council provide direction to Staff. Cm. Moffatt asked if this Situation had been raised as a result of a public hearing. CM - VOL 12 - 223 Regular Meeting May 24, 1993 Mr. Taugher advised that a public hearing was noticed and the fee schedule was amended by resolution. Cm. Burton questioned if the Council voted to make the new schedule applicable after April 26th would the City have to refund the money. Mr. Taugher responded yes. Cm. Howard asked how many of the 4 who have been issued permits called in advance to find out the amount. Mr. Taugher advised of the process used; when permits are ready to be picked up, Staff calls the applicant and prices are quoted at that time. Cm. Houston felt that if people were notified and knew that the fee was going up, they would have gotten right down and picked it up. If a little goodwill and added support had been shown by Staff, the Council would not have even been talking about this tonight. Mr. Taugher stated the next time this comes up, they could set the effective date at some time beyond the hearing. Cm. Burton felt that this is a case of business relations, and the fair thing to do would be to refund the money. It is not worth the price to make enemies of our business community. Mayor Snyder questioned with regard to those that haven"t applied for their permits, how long this could go on. It was shown that the City has higher operational costs. The Council must recognize its fiscal responsibility to the community as well. Mr. Taugher advised that applications expire 6 months from the date they are checked. ~ Mr. Wallen was not preSent at the meeting. On motion of Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Houston, and by unanimous vote, the Council agreed that all 11 members should be notified that the old permit fees will stand for 30 days from today, i.e., they have 30 days to get their permits. Those who have already paid should be given a refund. The new fee schedule will apply to new applications received after April 26th. LIBRARY PLANNING TASK FORCE REPORT (940-60) Recreation Director Lowart advised that the Staff Report summarized the findings and recommendations of the Library Planning Task Force with regard to future library needs in the City of Dublin. The Task Force identified several Options for addressing the current and future library needs and ultimately agreed upon recommendations: 1) Take action as soon as possible to expand the current facility to its maximum capacity of 22,000 sq. ft.; and 2) When development occurs in CM - VOL 12 - 224 Regular Meeting May 24, 1993 Eastern Dublin and after population there exceeds 10,000, take action to construct an additional library facility in Eastern Dublin. Since the Task Force recognized that funding from both the City and the County was not presently available, they recommended that both projects be funded through General Obligation Bonds, Mello-Roos Districts or some similar mechanism. Ms. Lowart explained that while the Task Force has recommended that immediate action be taken to expand the current facility to its maximum capacity, Staff recommended that the City Council defer any action on an expansion at this time. Currently, the Alameda County Library is anticipating an approXimate 45% decrease in its budget for the upcoming fiscal year. If thiS decrease is implemented, County funded hours at the Dublin Library will be reduced from 40 hours per week to an average of 16.75 per week. Similar reductions in City funded'hOurs may also be considered during the City's budget hearings. In summary, Ms. Lowart stated the request was that the report be brought back before the Council When there is a clearer picture of library funding. Cm. Moffatt asked with regard to ownership of the library, if the building or the building and property is owned by the County. Cm. Burton advised that the County owns the property and the Library Association owns the building. The County pays for the upkeep of the library. Cm, Moffatt asked if the building will revert back to Dublin residents when it is paid off. Mr. Ambrose advised that Staff had researched this and it is clear that it will revert back to the County. Cm. Burton asked since we have to Cut back, what impact will this have if the hours are cut? Will there be more people which would complicate the issue? Mr. Ambrose stated the concern is the whole funding issue for libraries is in a state of fluctuation. It is premature to look at adopting a capital improvement plan for the library until we know what our funding situation is in the next year or two. He advised that Joy Cadone was prepared to discuss what will happen with the proposed cuts. Joy Cadone, Deputy County Librarian stated out of about a $16 million budget, they had to reduCe down to $9.6 million. It was a dramatic decrease for them. Dedicated property tax funding is being taken away and will go to the State. Their special augmentation funding is also being taken away. They have a nUmber of buildings to support and have fixed costs which cannot be decreased. The majority of the operation costs are in personnel. They planned to try to take the County libraries that are in close proximity with each other and try to couple them with base hours. They will be coupling Castro Valley with San Lorenzo, as an example, and Dublin with PleaSanton. nm n n n n n n n nnn nnn n nm n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n Regular Meeting May 24, 1993 Cm. Houston referenced something he had heard about the Governor taking.more from the special assessment districts. Ms. Cadone stated they originally put together their budget based on the state taking 40% of their funding. It is very painful as they have spent years building only to have their efforts killed in a couple of months. Five cities offer additional hours. Pleasanton funds the most, with Dublin second. Union City, Newark and Fremont also fund additional hours. Cm. Moffatt questioned how Dublin's match would be handled and if the County would be able to staff the extra hours the City would ask them to be open. Ms. Cadone advised that the funds would purchase staffing. not be in the same configuration as the current service. no longer have the core 40 hours to work up from. It would They would Cm. Moffatt questioned if we would be able to pick the hours we would like to have the library open. Ms. Cadone felt it would be very important to identify the hours together. Mr. Ambrose stated he would be meeting with the other City Managers this Friday regarding library services. The amount of funds that we used to purchase 19 additional hours might only pay for about 13 hours in the future. Cm. Moffatt questioned the possibility of utilizing volunteers to run the library. Ms. Cadone stated they already use a number of volunteers. There are, however, jobs that you cannot train volunteers to do. They can provide support, but they could not take the place of trained staff. Dr. Jung stated he hoped the City Council would take into considera- tion the Task Force's recommendations. Things have a way of changing rather quickly and you can't tell what will happen in the future. Keep their recommendations close at hand and if some funding mechanisms come along, they would be ready to go. Cm. Moffatt stated he appreciated all the hard work the committee has done and he felt remorse that we have funding limitations. Cm. Burton stated he thought they were excellent in their process. Funding might be found to build it, but you also need staff to operate it. You can't fund operating costs with a bond. Staff corrected that you can, but only with a Mello-Roos District, not with a general obligatiOn bond. Frank Ruskey asked if the City could negotiate the property from the County and then take it to a 30 year financing and draw the capital. CM - VOL 12 - 226 Regular Meeting May 24, 1993 Mayor Snyder stated he would rather negotiate a free transfer since we have already paid for it, or will have by 1999. Linda Ferris stated one of the things that is vitally important is to keep up with the funding measures that are winding their way through the legislature. She requested that the Council not defer this so far that it cannot be easily retrieved. With regard to East Dublin, it seems appropriate that the issue needs to stay alive in order that an appropriate library spot is set aside. Mayor Snyder stated he hopes that future City Councils will be reminded in the future of all the hard work that has been done on this. PUBLIC HEARING-ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING PROCEDURE FOR DISPOSAL OF SURPLUS REAL PROPERTY (670-80) Mayor Snyder opened the public hearing. Public Works Director Thompson advised that this is the second reading of an Ordinance which would establish procedures whereby the City could dispose of surplus real property. The City has received inquiries and letters of interest from several parties related to the sale of 3 remnant parcels from the Dublin Boulevard Extension property acquisitions. Mr. Thompson gave a recap of the specific details of the proposed procedures and advised that they are in conformance with general provisions of the Government Code. No comments were made by members of the public relative to this issue. Mayor Snyder closed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Moffatt, and by unanimous vote, the Council waived the reading and adopted ORDINANCE NO. 3 - 93 AMENDING TITLE 2 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE RELATED TO PROCEDURE FOR DISPOSAL OF SURPLUS REAL PROPERTY PUBLIC HEARING - REVISION TO FEES CHARGED FOR MINIMUM ~ARBAGE SERVICE AND ESTABLISHMENT OF PROCESS TO COLLECT GARBAGE SERVICE FEES ON THE PROPERTY TAX BILL (810-30/600-30) Mayor Snyder opened the pUblic hearing. Assistant City Manager Rankin advised that at the April 26, 1993 City Council meeting, Staff was directed to prepare documents which would provide for the collectiOn of basic garbage collection on the property nnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn n nm nnnn CM - VOL 12 - 227 Regular Meeting May 24, 1993 tax bill. Assessments will be levied only on properties which are offered individual garbage collection. Apartments and condominiums serviced by central bins are not affected. The minimum service will include weekly collection of one 32 gallon container, curbside recycling, and 4 quarterly clean-ups. The proposed annual assessment for a single-family residence is $110.22. Mr. Rankin discussed the process propOsed for the property tax assessment, and the method used to calculate the amount of the annual assessment. Mr. Rankin explained the various legislative actions required by the Council to implement the program- This included adoption of: 1) an urgency Ordinance amending the Solid Waste Management Ordinance to provide for the City to collect fees for minimum garbage service as part of the property tax bill; 2) a Resolution establishing a minimum garbage service fee to be collected On the property tax; 3) a ReSolution approving the fourth amendment to the agreement between the City of Dublin and Oakland Scavenger Company regarding waste collection and disposal; 4) a ResolutiOn approving the second amendment to the agreement for single-family recycling services; and 5) a Resolution amending the schedule of service rates for solid waste collection to reflect the collection of minimum service fees by the City on the property tax bill. Our rates are still 15% less than any other City serviced by OSC. Cm. Moffatt discussed costs and stated he felt people in Dublin are getting excellent service for the amount they have to pay. He questioned if this is a tax-deductible item. Mr. Rankin advised that he is not authorized to answer this question. Mayor Snyder stated the common reply is this is on a tax bill and people should have a tax attorney look at it. Ms. Silver stated while she is not a tax attorney, she felt it is not deductible. People shoUld, however, ask their tax attorney or accountant. Cm. Moffatt questioned why Staff had set this up as an emergency ordinance. Mr. Rankin explained that if they went through 2 readings, the second would be on June 14th, and then it woUld not become effective for 30 days. They had hoped to have the ordinance become effective on July 1st, however, this is at the Council's discretion. The problem is that LDD sends out bills the end of June and Staff was trying to make sure the ordinance is-in place to coordinate with the billings.~ Cm. Moffatt felt the Council should give 30 days notice, as has been done with the Building Department fee increases. · · · · · · · · · · · I · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · CM - VOL 12 - 228 Regular Meeting May 24, 1993 Mr. Rankin advised that an option would be for the Council to conduct a second hearing on June 14th and then adopt the ordinance as an urgency ordinance at that time. Mr. Ambrose pointed out the risk that if the Council makes substantial changes and modifications on June 14th, the City Council may not be able to adopt the ordinance at that time. Cm. Moffatt stated he had a problem in that we have not really notified individuals that this is in the works. Mr. Rankin stated part of the purpose in coming to the Council at the April 26th meeting was to set this public hearing and to set the amount. Cm. Houston questioned what LDD would do or say to the customers since they will be notified in that way. Dan Borges, LDD General Manager advised that there was a model insert contained in the Staff Report. They will go out to all customers so that everyone will know. The bills will go out around the end of June. Cm. Houston stated he felt this would be the most effective form of notifying people. Cm. Burton clarified that the 5% delinquency charge is a fee, not an ad valorem tax. The 5% could be collected through a lien on the property. We are paying the garbage company regardless, of whether people pay their taxes or not. Cm. Moffatt stated senior citizens in California have some sort of an option whereby they can defer their taxes until their demise and then the taxes are passed on. He asked how this would fit in. Cm. Houston said he thought Cm. Moffatt was talking about the reverse mortgage process. A financial institution takes care of this. They would still have to pay their taxes though, as this applies only to their mortgage. Ms. Silver said she didn't think the State allows you to defer your taxes. No members of the publiC gave testimony relative to this issue. Mayor Snyder closed the pUblic hearing. Cm. Moffatt urged that this not be adopted as an urgency ordinance, but stated since he was Obviously in the minority, .he just wanted to voice his concerns. Mayor Snyder reminded everyone that the Council and Staff had been discussing this for 6 months. n n n n,, n n n n n nnnn nn n n n n n n n n. n n n n n n n n n n CM - VOL 12 - 229 Regular Meeting May 24, 1993 On motion of Cm.

Tri-ValleyTransportation Council (1060-40) Cm. Moffatt advised that at the.Tri-Valley Transportation Council meeting there will be a discussion of the Tri-Valley's land use issues and options. It should prove very interesting. Mr. Ambrose stated the County's Planning Director has expressed some major Concerns regarding the TVTC. He will provide copies of a letter received. Mayor Snyder stated the TVTC seems to have assumed a level of responsibility that was never given to them.
