CITY MANAGER TRANSMITTAL LETTER
June 2, 2020
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members:
I hereby submit to you the City of Dublin’s Fiscal Year 2020-21 and 2021-22 Budget, covering the beginning of
a new two-year budget cycle.
There are three primary goals of the budget cycle: 1) Fully fund current City operations; 2) Continue funding
future capital endeavors now, through the setting aside of specific reserves; and 3) Maintain adequate operating
reserves over the long term. The short-term action items detailed in this letter and planned for in the budget
numbers support these three goals.
This is a comprehensive document, with fund summaries, revenue and expenditure summaries, position
allocations, and illustrative charts and graphs that aim to present the City’s financial position in a clear and
transparent manner. Behind the data is the City’s plan to both deliver services to the Dublin community in the
short term, while remaining focused on the long-term financial health of the City.
Budget-In-Brief: Key Issues
Executive Summary
Budget Impact of COVID-19
The Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-22 preliminary budget was presented to the City Council at the Strategic
Planning meeting on March 4, 2020, showing significant surpluses in the General Fund. Since the presentation,
the COVID-19 pandemic and related shutdowns have had a significant impact on the national and local
economies, with indicators showing signs of a coming recession.
The City of Dublin is already facing operational impacts in the current year due to the shelter in place order
issued by Alameda County, particularly related to the closing of City facilities and the suspension of certain
programs. In addition, the City is experiencing larger revenue losses, including taxes and investment income, that
are tied to declines in the broader economy. Staff expects these impacts to continue for the foreseeable future
and have prepared a two-year budget with the latter in mind.
The most significant short-term (one- to three-year) impact of the COVID shutdowns on Dublin’s budget is a
steep decrease in anticipated taxes and interest income beginning in Fiscal Year 2019-20, with smaller decreases
in development, transient occupancy tax, and recreation revenues. The cumulative effect of these hits is the loss
of $16.7 million over three years, as shown below.

Forecast Total Loss
Property Taxes ($1,394,000) ($1,690,000) ($3,084,000)
Sales Taxes ($1,845,000) ($3,457,950) ($3,355,099) ($8,658,049)
Development Revenue ($500,000) ($500,000)
TOT ($500,000) ($500,000)
Interest ($250,000) ($1,095,985) ($1,490,985) ($2,836,970)
Net Recreation Revenue ($587,498) ($567,146) ($1,154,644)
Total ($3,182,498) ($7,015,081) ($6,536,084) ($16,733,663)
Defining the longer-term impact is more challenging, as it depends upon how quickly normal business resumes,
how employment levels recover, and what the post-COVID environment looks like. It could be that City
revenues will not return to pre-COVID levels until late Fiscal year 2020-21 or even the following year. The
recovery for sales tax will likely take much longer, potentially over five years.
Additionally, if financial markets remain volatile because of the pandemic, it is likely that pension costs will rise,
and unfunded liabilities will grow. While the City of Dublin is currently well-positioned to weather a hit similar
to the last rate hike, it will be important for us to be prepared for extraordinary cost increases.
With all of this in mind, the Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-22 Budget includes the following: -Reduced General Fund revenues as shown above, with the assumption of businesses re-opening
beginning in June 2020-Reduced recreation services through Summer 2020 (related revenue and expenditures)-Reduced development services (related revenue and contracted expenditures)-$1 million per year funding set aside for the pension liability-A reduction to fuel tax revenues that fund streets projects (Gas Tax reduced by 20%, ACTC-related
revenue reduced by 10%)
With these adjustments, the City’s fiscal position still remains relatively strong in the short term, with the General
Fund in a surplus position for the budget cycle. However, as the world emerges from COVID shutdowns and
the “new normal” is defined, there will likely be further adjustments needed to the budget and 10-Year Forecast.
Budget Overview
The Budget includes citywide revenues1 of $124.5 million in Fiscal Year 2020-21 and $121.7 million in Fiscal
Year 2021-22. Expenditure2 proposals total $126.7 million and $119.6 million in Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-
22, respectively. The total citywide fund balance is projected at $282.4 million, and $284.5 million in Fiscal Years
2020-21 and 2021-22, respectively. All fund balances are projected in the positive, with the exception of grant
funds, which are reimbursed after expenditures are incurred, and the Public Facility Fees Fund, due to the timing
difference in the collection of fees and the construction of parks and facilities.

2 Governmental Funds and Internal Service Funds. Excludes Transfers Out and Fiduciary Funds
Letter City of Dublin Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-2 Budget Page B-11
The General Fund Budget is balanced in both years, with a projected addition to reserves of $8.1 million in the
first year, and $6.4 million in the second year. Though Property Tax continues to show some growth in both
years,
Sales Tax, development revenue, and interest earnings are projected to be significantly lower due to the impact
of COVID-19 as discussed above. On the expenditure side, a budget reduction of roughly $1.1 million in
personnel costs is projected in Fiscal Year 2020-21 as the net result of a reduction of Parks and Community
Services temporary salaries, increased PERS costs, and significant savings in retiree health costs. Contracted
Services costs (Police, Fire and Maintenance) continue to rise, increasing a combined 3.9% and 4.3% in the first
and second year, respectively.
General Fund 10-Year Forecast
An update to the General Fund 10-Year Forecast was presented to the City Council on March 4, 2020. At that
point, a General Fund deficit was projected by Fiscal Year 2029-30, due largely to the rising cost of contracted
services, and a decrease over time in development revenues. However, incorporating the impacts of COVID-
19 brings the operating deficit forward by three years to Fiscal Year 2026-27 ($1.0 million). The assumptions
used in the Forecast are discussed in the Forecast section below.
Short-Term Priorities and Factors
The following is a discussion of the short-term considerations addressed in the two-year budget.
1. Brace for long -term impacts of COVID-19
The City’s conservative budgeting approach has allowed for the establishment of healthy reserves for a variety
of short- and long-term needs. In prior budget cycles, surpluses were used to shore up reserves for future capital
projects, unfunded liabilities, and contingencies. In planning for the post-COVID environment, of particular
concern is the potential for slow recovery to sales tax, and whether there will be additional losses in property tax
revenue, which is less reactive in the short term to an economic downturn. It is also likely that we will see an
increase in the City’s pension liability and associated ongoing costs. Accordingly, the two-year budget does not
include any new programs or significant enhancements above baseline costs, and the focus of quarterly financial
reviews will include a measurement of how well the City is prepared to weather a recession.
2. Use surplus reserves for large scale future projects, unfunded liabilities, and asset replacements
In the last year, the City utilized reserve surpluses to set aside new General Fund reserves for the following:
- Downtown Public Improvements: increased by $1.0 million to $4.0 million total - Fallon Sports Park: increased by $3.0 million to $3.1 million total - Don Biddle Community Park: created a new reserve, $1.0 million total - Catastrophic Loss: increased by $1.0 million to $15.8 million total in preparation for adding the new
Public Safety Complex to the City’s asset inventory - Pension and OPEB: increased by $2.0 million to $14.0 million total to protect the City against the impacts
of potential lowered CalPERS discount rates - Civic Center Renovation: increased by $1.0 million to $3.0 million total - Contribution to Internal Service Funds: increased by $500,000 to $1.0 million total to cover planned
transfer from General Fund to Internal Service Funds for capital asset replacements
Letter City of Dublin Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-2 Budget Page B-12
At the second City Council meeting in June 2020, Staff will propose that the surplus anticipated at the end of the
current Fiscal Year be shifted appropriately to contingency reserves and/or be used to pay down unfunded
liabilities. Additionally, in accordance with direction provided at the City Council meeting of May 19, 2020, the
City will shift approximately $3.7 million in General Fund Committed Reserves and $300,000 in Internal Service
Funds to cover the increased cost of the new Cultural Arts Center project.
3. Work with contracted service agencies on containing long -term costs
The rising cost of contract services (which make up 65% of the total General Fund Operating Budget) is one of
the primary factors in the projected operating deficit in the 10-Year Forecast. Contracts for police, fire, and
maintenance services are rising 5.7%, 2.4% (excludes one-time capital asset cost), and 5.4%, respectively, in the
Fiscal Year 2020-21 Budget. Much of the public safety increase is related to salary and benefit provisions, which
are typical to the nature of the work, whereas the increase in maintenance costs is related to adding inventory
(e.g. new parks) to the City’s list of assets to be maintained.
Staff will continue working in partnership with the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office, the Alameda County Fire
Department, and MCE each year to contain costs where possible, while providing for a safe, well-maintained
community.
4. Initiate and/or complete key capital improvement projects
The 2020-2025 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget addresses several new large-scale City-built facilities,
parks, and streets projects that will be significant to the community. The new projects will impact the City’s
ongoing maintenance and replacement budgets. The separate CIP document contains a description of all
projects, current and planned, in the next five years. The following is a highlight of large-scale and new projects.
Civic Center improvement projects which include Civic Center HVAC and Roof Replacement and Civic
Center Rehabilitation provide for the planning, design, and construction of various rehabilitation and
renovation projects, replacement of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system and controls,
roof replacement, associated building modifications, and code compliance upgrades for City Hall and the Cultural
Arts Center within the Civic Center complex. The total budget for both projects is $6.8 million, funded by the
General Fund and Internal Service Funds.
The Cultural Arts Center, included in the CIP beginning in Fiscal Year 2019-20, renovates a 13,000-square-
foot space on the first floor of Civic Center formerly occupied by Dublin Police Services. The improved facility
will offer cultural, educational and social opportunities for the community, including gallery space, a black box
theater; multi-purpose art and music classrooms; a dance studio; and restrooms. The current budget is $5.9
million, funded by Public Facility Fees funds. With City Council approval of the schematic design, a budget
adjustment of $4.1 million is needed to fund additional identified programmatic elements and needed structural
upgrades in the project. At the June 16, 2020 City Council meeting, Staff will present a recommendation shifting
$3.7 million from General Fund Committed Reserves for this purpose, with the balance appropriated from
Internal Service Funds.
A third phase to Fallon Sports Park is included in the CIP and addresses the design and construction of the
remaining 14 acres of Fallon Sports Park, referred to as the Upper Terrace. The total project budget is $10.6
million, funded by the Public Facility Fees Fund.
Letter City of Dublin Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-2 Budget Page B-13
There are also two park improvement projects, Parks Playground Replacement and Restrooms
Replacement, included in the Five-Year CIP that provide for new playground equipment and renovation of
existing restrooms at various parks. The combined budget for the two projects is $2.4 million, funded by the
General Fund.
The new Five-Year CIP also includes several major street improvement projects, including Dublin Boulevard
Extension - Fallon Road to North Canyon Parkway, which provides for construction of the 1.5-mile
extension of Dublin Boulevard from Fallon Road to North Canyons Parkway in Livermore. The total project
budget is $111.1 million, funded by a combination of special revenue funds and Traffic Impact Fee Fund.
Roughly $102.0 million is anticipated in future years (beyond the five-year CIP), and does not currently have an
identified funding source. The Iron Horse Trail Bridge at Dublin Boulevard provides for the construction
of the Iron Horse Trail bridge for bicycles and pedestrians over Dublin Boulevard. The total project cost is
$10.1 million, with the majority of the project funded by a Measure BB Grant. And, the Tassajara Road
Realignment and Widening - Fallon Road to North City Limit provides for the planning and preliminary
engineering to define a new roadway alignment for Tassajara Road between North Dublin Ranch Drive and the
City and Contra Costa County limit. The project also provides for the design and construction of a realigned
Tassajara Road from Fallon Road to the northern City limit, which will be coordinated with Contra Costa County.
The total project budget is $12.8 million, funded primarily by Traffic Impact Fees.
Lastly, the new Five-Year CIP includes four projects (listed below) that are planned to be funded by the Public
Facility Fees Fund, however, the Fund does not have sufficient cash flow within the five-year period to cover
these. Staff and the City Council discussed this at the Strategic Planning meeting of March 4, and it was ultimately
decided to fund the latter three using General Fund surpluses that were anticipated pre-COVID. Now, with the
revenue budget losses and unknown financial recovery period, Staff is recommending utilizing half of expected
surpluses over Fiscal Years 2019-20, 2020-21, and 2021-22 to complete these projects within the five-year CIP
timeframe. The Iron Horse Nature Park project will remain in the CIP but will require additional funding
(potentially from grants) and coordination with Zone 7 in order to proceed.
- The Iron Horse Nature Park and Open Space: 12.13 acres of nature park and open space adjacent to
the Iron Horse Trail, from the Dublin/San Ramon city limit to the confluence of Amador and South San
Ramon Creeks, that will be developed in partnership with Zone 7 Water Agency ($11.6 million); - Wallis Ranch Community Park: 8.85 acres in the Wallis Ranch development with a play area, picnic
facilities, turf area, natural area, restrooms, pathways, lighting, and irrigation and landscaping ($6.7
million); - Library Tenant Improvements Project: renovation of 5,150 square feet of currently unoccupied space
within the building for both library and community use ($1.8 million); and - Jordan Ranch Neighborhood Square: 2.0 acres in the Jordan Ranch development ($1.5 million).
Fiscal Year 2020-21 Budget: The Details
REVENUES
Citywide revenues total $124.5 million in Fiscal Year 2020-21 (including internal service funds, excluding
transfers in and Fiduciary Funds), representing an increase of $3.2 million from the Fiscal Year 2019-20 Amended
Budget. This revenue amount reflects the net result of a decrease in General Fund revenues due to the fiscal
impact of COVID-19 and the receipt of grants for streets improvement projects.
Total General Fund revenues are budgeted at $92.3 million, a decrease of $2.8 million from the Fiscal Year 2019-
20 Amended Budget.
Letter City of Dublin Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-2 Budget Page B-14
Highlights:
• Property Taxes and Sales Taxes remain the City’s largest ongoing revenue sources, accounting for 54%
of total governmental fund revenues in FY 2020-21.
• General Fund revenues are decreasing $2.8 million, due to the net impact of a slight increase in Property
Tax, and significant decrease in Sales Tax and interest earnings.
• Development revenues in the General Fund will decline by $1.0 million due to the slowdown of
development activities.
• Sales Tax and Measure B/BB Sales Tax revenues have also been impacted by COVID-19. It is currently
projected that Gas Tax will decline by 20% and Measure B/BB Funds by 10% as compared to the
preliminary budget from early March. This results in a decrease of $290,000 from the Fiscal Year 2019-
20 Amended Budget.
• Grant funding is increasing by a net $1.9 million in Fiscal Year 2020-21, due primarily to the funding of
a Measure BB grant for the Iron Horse Trail Bridge project.
• The Garbage Service Fund is projected to increase by $1.7 million in Fiscal Year 2020-21 due to a new
garbage service contract with AVI and an increase in rates. The related increase to franchise fees in the
General Fund is $730,000.

The Fiscal Year 2020-21 Budget totals $98.01 million in all funds (including internal service fund purchases,
excluding transfers out and Fiduciary Funds). This is made up of operating appropriations of $94.4 million
and $3.7 million is Internal Service Fund costs, which include equipment purchases and Information
Technology costs. The Fiscal Year 2020-21 Budget also includes CIP appropriations totaling $28.6 million.
The Fiscal Year 2020-21 General Fund operating budget, excluding transfers to capital improvement
projects, totals $82.1 million, with ongoing revenues covering ongoing expenditures by $10.3 million. Most
operational departmental expenditure budgets are adjusted each year in a relatively consistent manner, that
is, they change with CPI adjustments, or are increased by another specific known factor.
Examples are: - Personnel costs are driven by the provision of salaries and benefits as approved by the City Council.
Pension and retiree health rates are set by CalPERS and actuaries. The Budget incorporates the City’s
most recently increased rates and includes an additional lump sum payment towards the pension liability,
as discussed below. - Supplies and Services remain generally static across departments. - Capital Outlay budgets remain generally static across departments, unless there are one-time planned
purchases, such as for new software or equipment. The Fiscal Year 2020-21 Budget contains a reduction
of $240,000 in such purchases from the prior year Adopted Budget.
Highlights:
Personnel
The two-year budget reflects an updated position allocation plan, projected salaries, health rates, and retirement
benefits. Total personnel costs are projected to decrease $1.1 million (-5.2%) in the first year and increase $1.7
million (8.5%) in the second year. This is due primarily to the net impact of a reduction in temporary salaries
related to parks and recreation programs that have been suspended, and a decrease in required retiree health
Letter City of Dublin Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-2 Budget Page B-15
contributions in the first year. In the second year, temporary salaries associated with recreation programs have
been added back, while PERS and group health rate increases have been incorporated.
While pension costs continue to increase, $300,000 in Fiscal Year 2020-21 and additional $195,000 in Fiscal Year
2021-22, retiree health payments are decreasing significantly, due to the City’s capping of the benefit plan for
new hires (after January 1, 2016). Staff had initially projected savings of $4.0 million over 15 years, but with nearly
a quarter of the City workforce turning over in the last two years, the savings from the capped benefit are being
realized earlier than anticipated. Staff now expects savings of $6.9 million over the same 15-year period.
Contracted Services Costs
In Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-22, total contract services make up 65% of the overall General Fund
expenditure budget. Public Safety contract costs make up 44% of the total operating budget.
The following table shows changes to contracted services costs in the General Fund, with details shown in the
General Fund Section of this document. Budget increases incorporate cost-of-living adjustments in Public Safety,
and new inventory added to the service contract for maintenance.
(1) Police and Fire liability insurance amounts are not included above; they are included in Services & Supplies.
RESERVES
Total General Fund reserves are projected at $168.9 million at the end of Fiscal Year 2019-20, a decrease of $10.4
million over Fiscal Year 2018-19. The unassigned/available cash flow reserve is projected at $75.4 million, before
any designation by the City Council to specific Committed reserves, and before Staff completes the necessary
accounting adjustments to reserves at the end of the current Fiscal Year. The City Council will make reserve
designations during the City Council meeting of June 16, 2020.
2020-2025 Capital Improvement Program
The 2020-2025 CIP totals $90.9 million over the five-year period. The General Fund contribution for the CIP
period is $8.8 million, primarily for Green Stormwater Infrastructure ($2.2 million), Civic Center Rehabilitation
($1.3 million), Parks Playground Replacement ($1.4 million), Restrooms Replacement ($1.0 million), Resiliency
and Disaster Preparedness Improvements ($703,095), and other miscellaneous projects totaling $2.1 million.

10-Year General Fund Forecast
As discussed above, while the General Fund operating budget is balanced in the two-year budget period, the 10-
Year Forecast shows a projected operating deficit of $1.0 million in Fiscal Year 2026-27, as illustrated in the table
below.
10-Year Forecast ($ in thousands)
In developing the Forecast, Staff continued the practice of conservatively projecting revenues, and growing
expenditures using historical information. While predicting economic health in the long term is challenging, we
believe that at this time, the forecast is a fair representation of the City’s potential financial future. The following
are the assumptions used in the Forecast, for Fiscal Years 2022-23 onward. It is important to note that the
adjustments (growth or declines) are built upon the currently anticipated two-year impacts of COVID-19. A
significant continuation of the shutdowns will necessitate an update to the Forecast.

Property Tax
• CPI adjustment: 2% increase (out of a maximum of 2%) on all existing non-Prop 8 homes throughout
Forecast.

Conclusion
Since the recession of 2009, the City has been fortunate to experience healthy growth in our major ongoing
revenue categories. We have fully funded City operations, enhanced public safety services, kept our streets in
excellent condition, and opened new parks and facilities. At the same time, we have consistently used surpluses
to supplement City reserves for contingencies. As such, we are well-positioned, relative to many other agencies,
to withstand the currently expected impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. As we move through this crisis and
into a “new normal,” we remain committed to identifying budget solutions that will ensure the long-term fiscal
health of this organization.

INTRODUCTION
City of Dublin Profile
Overview
The City of Dublin is located in the East Bay of
the San Francisco Bay Area and is approximately
30 miles east of San Francisco and approximately
30 miles northeast of the Silicon Valley. Dublin is
one of five communities that comprise the Tri-
Valley region. According to the California
Department of Finance, the population in the City
of Dublin is 61,897 excluding group quarters
(3,819), as of May 1, 2020.
The City of Dublin was incorporated in 1982 and
in 2011 was named an “All-America City” by the
National Civic League.
Crossroads of the Bay Area
Dublin, California has long been known as the
“crossroads” of the Bay Area. Dublin sits at the
intersection of two major highways: Interstate 580 and Interstate 680. The significance of its location dates
back more than 200 years when Dublin served as the crossroads of two important state routes – one from the
Bay Area to Stockton, and the other from Martinez to San Jose. The Alamilla Spring, located in the Dublin
area, provided a place for travelers to change horses and freshen up before continuing their journey.
Dublin has a rich history dating back to 1772 when Pedro Fages led an expedition of 16 mounted men on a
journey in search of a land route to Drake’s Bay, which at that time was called San Francisco Bay. Their return
journey brought them through the Amador Valley.
Building a Community in 1835 and Beyond
It was not until 1835 when building began in the area. Jose Maria Amador had been paid in land for his years
of service as a Mexican soldier and as administrator of Mission San Jose. He received a land grant of 16,517
acres in the Amador-Livermore Valley. He built many adobe homes and small buildings that were used as
shops where his Indian workers made soap, blankets, shoes, farm tools and other products for use on his
ranch.
In 1850, Michael Murray and Jeremiah Fallon came to this area from Ireland. They purchased 1,000 acres of
land from Jose Amador and built homes for their families. The area began to grow as many people settled in
Profile City of Dublin Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-22 Budget Page C-2
the area. In 1867, Alameda County was created from parts of Contra Costa and Santa Clara counties. Both
Murray and Fallon served on the Alameda County Board of Supervisors.
By 1877, the first schoolhouse in the Amador-Livermore Valley was constructed in Dublin, along with a
church, two hotels, Green’s Store, a wagon and blacksmith shop, and a shoemaker’s shop. The Murray
Schoolhouse, Green’s Store, St. Raymond’s Church, and the old Pioneer Cemetery (where members of the
Donner Party Expedition are buried) have been preserved and are now located on Donlon Way. Back then,
mail was delivered to the Dougherty Station Hotel. Thus, the area became known as Dougherty’s Station.
Subsequently, the area later became known as Dublin and in 1982 the City was incorporated.
Modern Day
The Tri-Valley area is made up of several cities – Dublin, Livermore, and Pleasanton, along with San Ramon
and the Town of Danville located in nearby Contra Costa County. During the past 20 years, the Tri-Valley
area has become a place of prosperity, a center for internationally acclaimed business parks, home to some of
the world’s largest corporations, as well as known for its outstanding schools and variety of housing options.
Over the 38 years, Dublin has emerged as a dynamic, thoughtfully planned community. Home to a wide mix
of quality housing and two pedestrian-oriented transit districts, Dublin is poised for continued prosperity. The
community has continued to maintain its small-town character and has become increasingly diverse. Its strong
business climate, new and high-performing schools, planned neighborhood developments, and award-winning
parks and facilities, have contributed to a high quality of life for its residents and businesses.
Employment
There are an estimated 23,346 jobs in Dublin with seven industry sectors accounting for the majority of
employment. Currently, the leading industries in Dublin are1:
Industry %
Retail Trade 21%
Accommodation and Food Services 12%
Health Care and Social Services 10%
Information 8%
Manufacturing 8%
Construction 4%
Administrative and Support (including Waste Management and
Remediation Services, Public Administration and Other Services) 3%
Prior to the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the regional labor market was healthy, according to East
Bay Economic Development Alliance’s East Bay Economic Outlook 2019-20. The East Bay had experienced
record low unemployment and projected steady short-term growth in the labor market until March 2020.

Profile City of Dublin Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-22 Budget Page C-3
According to the State Employment Development Department Labor Market Information Division, Dublin
has a workforce of 31,800 people, and an unemployment rate of 2.1%, which is lower than Alameda County’s
2.5% unemployment rate.2 It is unclear the impact COVID-19 has had on unemployment in the Dublin
region since March 2020. Prior to that period, 81% of the labor force worked in white collar jobs. The most
common civilian employment sectors for Dublin residents (regardless of the location where they work) are
listed in the table below:
Top Workforce Sectors %
Management 18%
Computer/Mathematical 13%
Sales/Related 10%
Office/Administrative Support 10%
Business/Financial Operations 8%
Healthcare Practitioner/Technician 5%
The jobs-housing balance in Dublin remains healthy at 1.02 jobs per household. According to Census
QuickFacts, the median household income in 2018 in Dublin ($144,564) was similar to the Tri-Valley as a
whole and higher than Alameda County ($102,125) and California overall ($71,228). A listing of top City
employers may be found in the Appendix of the Budget document.
Schools
The Dublin community is served by the Dublin Unified School District (DUSD). DUSD has eight elementary
schools, two middle schools, one traditional high school and one continuation high school, as well as an adult
education program.
In addition to the public school K-12 system, Dublin boasts of several private schools, including Valley
Christian (K-12), St. Raymond’s School (K-8), St. Philip Lutheran (K-8) and Quarry Lane School (K-12). The
region is served by the Chabot-Las Positas Community College District and more specifically by Las Positas
College just minutes east from Dublin in Livermore.
Parks and Community Services
The City of Dublin is renowned for its parks and recreation facilities. There are 21 neighborhood and
community parks, and six community facilities that serve the variety of facility needs of the community. The
City also boasts a significant open space and trail system for those that walk, run, hike and bike throughout
the community. The community parks include amenities such as children’s play equipment, sports fields and
courts, picnic areas, dog parks, swimming pools, splash pads, bocce ball courts, trails, and large grass areas for
informal play or sports activities. Community facilities offer opportunities for event space and adult and youth
classes and activities. As the City continues to develop, additional parks and facilities will be built based on
the needs of the Dublin community, guided by the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, which was recently
updated. Park improvements in fiscal years 2020-21 and 2021-22 that will be in design or construction are:
Don Biddle Community Park, Fallon Sports Park (Phase 3), Jordan Ranch Neighborhood Square, Heritage
Park Cemetery Improvements, Mape Memorial Park playground improvements, Butterfly Knoll ,and
completion of Clover and Sunrise Park and the Imagine Playground at Dublin Sports Grounds.

In addition to City parks, trails and facilities, the East Bay Regional Park District operates several parks/open
spaces facilities in and around Dublin, including the Dublin Hills Regional Preserve and the Iron Horse
Trail. The District has trails for hiking, horseback riding, water enjoyment, and multiple regional amenities.
Public Transportation
The Dublin community enjoys a variety of transportation options. Dublin has two BART stations that serve
ridership in the Tri-Valley and commuters from the Central Valley. The City is served by the Livermore
Amador Valley Transportation Authority (LAVTA) which provides Wheels bus transportation and
connections to Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), the Altamont Commuter Express (ACE) train, and to the
Central Contra Costa Transportation Authority transportation lines.
Structure of Government
City Council – Five Members, Elected at-large
The City of Dublin is a general law city operating under a City Council-City Manager form of government.
Council Members are elected at-large and serve the entire community rather than by district. The four
Council Members are elected to four-year staggered terms; the Mayor is elected to a two-year term. The
City Council establishes local law and policies through the enactment of ordinances and resolutions. The
City Council also determines how the City shall obtain and spend funds, adopts a two-year budget process
and a Two-Year Strategic Plan. The City Council appoints community members to serve on
commissions/boards and advisory committees and represents the City by serving on regional and county
committees/boards whose policies may impact Dublin and the Tri-Valley area (e.g. Associated Bay Area
Governments, League of California Cities, and Metropolitan Transportation Commission). The City
Council appoints the City Manager and City Attorney positions. A City Council position is a part-time
and salaried position.
City Manager – Appointed by City Council
The City Manager is the Chief Executive Officer and is appointed by the City Council. The City Manager
provides, in accordance with the City Council policies, overall administration and direction for the City
organization and operations. In the event of an emergency, the position is designated to serve as the
Director of Emergency Services. The City Manager position is a full-time, salaried position.
City Attorney – Appointed by City Council
The City Attorney serves as legal counsel for the City Council. This position is responsible for providing
both formal and informal legal opinions, as well as advice to the City’s officers, employees, boards and
commissions. The duties of this position also include the review and/or preparation of all contracts,
bonds, deeds, leases, and other documents of legal significance. This is a contract position.

Budget Document and Process
Budget Accounting
In accordance with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the City’s funds are grouped
into three categories: governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary. Within each category, the funds are further
classified into types such as general funds, special revenue funds, etc. Additionally, the funds are divided
between major and non-major categories. For budgeting purposes, a major fund represents a fund or fund
category that has revenues or expenditures that equals more than ten percent of the City’s entire appropriated
budget.
In governmental accounting, agencies report different kinds of information for different fund types, according
to what and how financial resources are measured. The “current financial resources” method measures an
entity’s ability to pay obligations in the near-term, and focuses on cash and/or assets that are expected to be
converted to cash within the accounting period, or shortly thereafter. The “economic resources” method
measures all assets that are available to the entity, not only cash or soon to be cash.
Agencies also use different methods to recognize the timing of certain transactions. Under the “full accrual”
accounting basis, all assets are considered available to the governmental unit for the purpose of providing
goods and services. Therefore, transactions are recorded when the underlying action takes place, regardless of
the actual cash flow timing. Under the “modified accrual” basis, income is recorded using the accrual basis,
but expenditures are recorded when they actually occur.
The City of Dublin complies with the GASB requirements and thus budgets and accounts for transactions
based on the following rules:
Fund Category Measurement Focus Accounting Basis
Governmental Current financial resources Modified accrual (60 days after year-end)
Proprietary Economic resources Full accrual
Fiduciary Economic resources Full accrual
Furthermore, the City’s expenditure appropriations lapse at the fiscal year end (June 30th), but may be carried
over for specific purposes when approved by the City Manager. Encumbrances are considered expenditures
in the year of the issuance of the purchase order. If the encumbrance is unused at year end, it is re-
appropriated the following fiscal year.
A two-year budget is presented to the City Council prior to the beginning of the budget cycle. The Operating
Budget is adopted by the City Council on an annual basis. During mid-cycle, a review and update are prepared
and presented to the City Council for the adoption of the second year’s budget. The fiscal year begins on July
1 and ends June 30. Operating budgets are controlled at the department level and fund level. The City Council
may amend the budget during the fiscal year.
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is adopted on a multi-year project basis, where funds for specific
projects receive an annual appropriation and any unused appropriation may be re-appropriated the following
year. The projects are budgeted and built in phases, so as to allow for future planning and budgeting. CIP
project budgets are adopted and controlled at the project level and funding source level.
Process City of Dublin Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-22 Budget Page C-7
Budget Document and Process
The Resolution to adopt the operating budget approved by the City Council may be found in the appendix of
this document. Included in the Resolution are guidelines of how the budget may be amended without a City
Council action. To summarize, the City Manager may increase expense and revenue budgets for both
operating budgets where there is a zero net impact on the fund, appropriate funds from Committed and
Assigned fund balances that have been approved by the City Council for specific purposes, and transfer
between capital improvement projects where the funding source is the same. All other budgetary changes
after budget adoption are subject to approval by the City Council.
In addition to budget amendments that may occur during the fiscal year, the Administrative Services Director
prepares and presents a quarterly review of expenditures and revenues to the City Council. At that time, the
Administrative Services Director may recommend budget amendments to the City Council for their
consideration.

The funding received by public agencies generally has restrictions on how it may be utilized. For example, Gas
Tax Revenue must be spent on certain street-related improvements. In accordance with government auditing
practices, agencies establish separate funds to demonstrate compliance with the variety of restrictions.
There are three categories of Funds used in governmental accounting, which are classified further into Major and
Non-Major Funds:
• Governmental Funds – Account for activities which are primarily tax-supported operations or other
mandatory payments and are virtually unique to government. Fund types are:
o General – primary operating fund; accounts for all financial resources of the City except those
required to be accounted for in another fund. Use of these funds is discretionary in accordance
with City Council policies, and State and local laws.
o Capital Project – accounts for the improvement, construction or acquisition of fixed assets such
as buildings, facilities, equipment and roads.
o Debt Service – accounts for principal and interest of long-term debts.
o Special Revenue – accounts for the use of revenues that are legally restricted to expenditures for
specific purposes.
o Permanent – accounts for funds in which only interest earnings, and not principal amounts, are
expendable. The City does not use this type of fund.
• Proprietary Funds – Account for activities that are primarily funded by income from operations resulting
from voluntary payments for goods and services provided to users. Fund types are:
o Internal Service – used for operations serving other funds or departments within the government
on a cost-reimbursement basis.
o Enterprise – Accounts for operations financed and operated similar to business activities, and
services rendered to the general public on a fee basis. The City does not use this type of fund.
• Fiduciary Funds – Account for resources held by a governmental entity in a trustee or agency capacity
for the benefit of others, and which cannot be used to support the governmental entity. Fund Types are:
o Agency – accounts for assets held by the City in a custodial capacity and paid to other individuals
or organizations (ex. assessment districts).
o Trust – accounts for assets held by other parties (i.e., Pension or Retiree Health Trust).
• Major Funds vs. Non-Major Funds – The General Fund is always a major fund. Other major funds
have total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses that are: 1) 10% or more of the
corresponding element, excluding extraordinary items, for all funds of that type; and 2) at least 5% of the
corresponding element total for all governmental and enterprise funds combined. All other funds are
classified as non-major, unless the City deems a certain fund of interest or important to financial
statements.

operate with a focus on the prevention of geologic hazards, with mitigation and abatement also
being primary functions. A “geologic hazard” is broadly defined as an actual or threatened
landslide, land subsidence, soil erosion, earthquake, fault movement or any other natural or
unnatural movement of land or earth. Three GHADs have been established in the City of Dublin,
with the City acting as trustee of GHAD funds collected and used to contractually provide or
arrange for services. The City Council serves as the Board of Directors for the following
GHADs: - Fallon Village GHAD (Funds 5301 & 5311) - Schaefer Ranch GHAD (Fund 5302) - Fallon Crossings GHAD (Fund 5321)

1. Trust Funds
a. California Employers’ Retiree Benefit Trust Fund (CERBT) Trust Fund (5171) – assets held
in trust by CalPERS and used to pay retiree health obligations. Per Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GASB 45), an agency only reports a trust fund in its financial statements if it has some
managerial responsibility over the funds (i.e., investment responsibility). Therefore, the City does not
show the CERBT Fund in its annual financial report. It is included in this document for informational
purposes only.

General Fund City of Dublin Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-22 Budget Page E-4
General Fund Revenue Assumptions
Total General Fund revenues, excluding transfers in, are budgeted at $92.3 million and $94.5 million, in Fiscal
Years 2020-21 and 2021-22 respectively, a decrease of $2.8 million in the first year and an increase of $2.2 million
in the second year.
Dublin’s two largest ongoing revenue sources in the General Fund, Property Taxes and Sales Tax, account for
74% of total revenues in Fiscal Year 2020-21.
The following are the key assumptions used to construct the General Fund operating budget in Fiscal Years
2020-21 and 2021-22, and the variances from year to year (the two variance numbers represent the change in
Fiscal Year 2020-21 from the Fiscal Year 2019-20 Amended Budget; and the change in Fiscal Year 2021-22 from
the Fiscal Year 2020-21 Budget). Descriptions are provided for categories with variances of $150,000 or more.
General Fund City of Dublin Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-22 Budget Page E-5
Property Tax: +$1.4 million / +$1.6 million
Property Tax continues to show growth in both years, even with COVID-19, due to property values for Fiscal
Year 2020-21. However, if the pandemic grows more severe and the Shelter In Place order stays as restrictive
through the summer, the impacts on the number and value of real estate sales and, potentially, on tax revenues
for Fiscal Year 2020-21 and assessed values for Fiscal Years 2021-22 and 2022-23 may become more pronounced.
Assumptions
• Total Property Tax revenue is projected to grow $1.4 million (2.9%) in FY 2020-21 and $1.6 million
(3.2%) in FY 2021-22.
• Budgeted delinquency rate of 5% in FY 2020-21 and 3% in FY 2021-22.
• Prop 8 recapture: growth based on projected growth in median sale price, for single family residential
homes.
Sales Tax: -$2.1 million / +$587,852
Sales & use tax declines are expected to continue through 2020, with only moderate gains for several quarters
thereafter. It is projected that sales in the Autos and Transportation category will be impacted by COVID-19
significantly, exceeding the worst annual decline during Great Recession. Consumer spending is also anticipated
to decrease due to increased unemployment, retail store closures and related impacts, along with continued fears
over COVID-19.
Assumptions
• Total Sales Tax revenue is projected to decrease $2.1 million (-9.7%%) in FY 2020-21 and increase
$587,852 (2.9%) in FY 2021-22.
• It is estimated it will take over five years to recover the Sales Tax revenue to FY 2018-19 level.
Transient Occupancy Tax: -$400,000 / +$500,000
The hotel industry has faced an abrupt and unprecedented drop in hotel demand during the outbreak of COVID-
19 due to the non-existence of business and leisure travel.
The Budget projects TOT revenue will decrease $400,000 (-28.6%) in FY 2020-21 due to lower hotel occupancy
rates prior to when business travel returns to normal. It is projected TOT will increase $500,000 (33.3%) in FY
2021-22 with the anticipation of a slow, but positive, recovery from the pandemic impacts.
Other Taxes: +$276,987 / +$166,319
Other Taxes include Property Transfer Taxes, and multiple Franchise Taxes (electric, gas, garbage, cable). The
Budget projects a decrease of $250,000 in Property Transfer Tax and an increase of $527,000 in overall franchise
taxes in Fiscal Year 2020-21, primarily due to a new garbage franchise agreement. The Budget projects an increase
of $166,000 in Garbage Franchise Tax and all other franchise taxes were held relatively flat in the second year.
Development Revenue: -$1,009,865 / -$1,357,448
Development revenues include revenues from permits (primarily building permits), and from planning and
engineering services provided by the City that are ultimately covered by developer deposit accounts. The updated
projections include anticipated activity in existing projects and do not presume any new development during the
10-year period.
General Fund City of Dublin Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-22 Budget Page E-6
As the City Council is aware, development projects progress through various stages and the receipt of revenues
and corresponding service (i.e., City cost) do not happen simultaneously. Plan check costs are typically incurred
approximately 12 months after revenue has been received, meaning that as development decreases, the associated
decrease in costs will lag. In anticipation of this, the City has maintained a reserve (currently at $3.2 million) to
cover costs during that lag.
Assumptions
• Development revenues are projected to decrease $1.0 million (-12.7%) in FY 2020-21 from the FY 2019-
20 Amended Budget.
• FY 2021-22 revenues are projected to decrease an additional $1.4 million (-24.3%).
Interest Income: -$400,000 / - $400,000
Financial markets have experienced significant turbulence, driven by a high level of uncertainty about the impact
of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy. US Treasury yields have declined, the Federal Reserve
sprang into action by lowering interest rates. As a result, it is projected interest revenue will decrease by $400,000
in the first year and additional $400,000 for the second year.
Charges for Services (excluding development services): -$199,298 / +$914,873
Charges for services include revenue primarily from Parks and Community Services programs, as well as Waste
Management Administrative Fees, collected from the City’s contracted garbage and waste collector (Amador
Valley Industries), and Santa Rita revenue, whereby the County reimburses the City for costs incurred when
responding to non-emergency calls at the Santa Rita Jail.
Assumptions
• Recreation program revenues are projected to decrease $566,645 (-10.6%) in FY 2020-21 due to
anticipated impact of COVID-19 and increase of $989,576 in FY 2021-22 in anticipation all recreation
programs are up running.
Community Benefit Payments:
No Community Benefit Payments are anticipated in FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22.
General Fund City of Dublin Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-22 Budget Page E-7
General Fund Expenditure Assumptions
The City's ongoing operating expenditures and long-term financial liabilities continue to grow, and as previously
mentioned are projected to eventually outpace the City's ongoing revenue growth in Fiscal Year 2026-27, absent
any significant additional revenues or significant cost cutting measures. The Budget reflects a decrease in total
operating expenditures of $3.2 million in Fiscal Year 2020-21 and an increase of $2.8 million in Fiscal Year 2021-
22. The chart below presents the composition of operating expenditures by category for Fiscal Year 2020-21,
and is followed by a discussion of the assumptions used in preparing the budget.
The following are the key assumptions used to construct the General Fund operating budget in Fiscal Years
2020-21 and 2021-22, and the variances from year to year (the two variance numbers represent the change in
Fiscal Year 2020-21 from the Fiscal Year 2019-20 Amended Budget; and the change in Fiscal Year 2021-22 from
the Fiscal Year 2020-21 Budget). Descriptions are provided for categories with variances of $150,000 or more.
General Fund City of Dublin Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-22 Budget Page E-8
Personnel Costs: -$1.1 million / +$1.5 million
Rising personnel costs are a major area of concern for all public agencies. In recent years, the City has
implemented employee cost sharing measures to relieve a portion of the healthcare and retirement cost burden
on the City. Currently, employees are paying 100% of the employee portion of pension costs (8% of salary), and
are also contributing to the employer portion of pension costs (an additional 7%, for a total of 15% of salary).
The two-year budget proposal reflects an updated position allocation plan, projected salaries, health rates, and
retirement benefits. The first-year decrease in personnel costs is due primarily to the net result of reduction in
temporary staffing, allocation more staff time to capital improvement projects (different funds), and the net
impact of increasing pension costs and decreasing retiree health costs, as discussed below.
Position Changes
The Budget includes the following changes to the City’s Position Allocation beginning in Fiscal Year 2020-21
(net cost shown is first year salary and benefits). There is no change in full time equivalent positions.
• Reclass Senior Management Analyst to Human Resources Manager
• Reclass to Communications Manager
Full-Time Position Allocation Plan
2019-20 2020-21 2021-22
94.00 94.00 94.00
Benefits
While the City’s CalPERS payments increases $313,706 in Fiscal Year 2020-21, and another $190,517 in Fiscal
Year 2021-22, Staff had planned for this and had incorporated higher payments in the 10-Year Forecast last year.
The Budget also includes a lump sum contribution of $1 million annually against the ongoing pension liability.
As was discussed in the transmittal letter, retiree health payments are decreasing significantly, due to the City’s
capping of the benefit plan for new hires (after January 1, 2016). Staff had initially projected savings of $4.0
million over 15 years, but with nearly a quarter of the City workforce turning over in the last two years, the
savings from the capped benefit are being realized earlier than anticipated. Staff now expects savings of $6.9
million over the same 15-year period. Savings in Fiscal Year 2020-21 totals $802,460.
Supplies and Services: +$168,558 / +$114,629
During the budget process, Staff were asked to hold the line in operating supplies and service expenditures. The
net increase in Supplies and Services is primarily due to insurance premiums and claims.
Utilities: +$175,580 / +$104,639
The Budget includes an increase in utilities in Fiscal Year 2020-21 as the net result of bringing the sewer, electric,
potable water, and recycled water costs in line with current year costs, and additional facilities.
Contract Services: +$753,644 / +$1.5 million
The City contracts for Public Safety (Police and Fire), maintenance, development and other miscellaneous
services. In Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-22, total contracted services make up 65% of the overall General
Fund expenditure budget. Public Safety contracts costs make up approximately 44% of the total operating
budget. The details of contract increases were included in the Transmittal Letter to this document, but are also
included here for easy reference.
General Fund City of Dublin Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-22 Budget Page E-9
Police Services
Increases are proposed for the Police Services contract with Alameda County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO), as
shown in the table below.

2021-22 $5,875,336 $6,612,383 $157,618 2.4%
The following factors are included:
• New facility inventory: Public Safety Complex – Police Services Building.
• 1% COLA increase, prevailing and minimum wage increase
The Budget also includes a lump sum amount for additional work beyond what is included in the contract scope.
This has been historically budgeted for but not specifically called out in the contract. Staff has asked MCE to
include this in the total contract amount, at a not-to-exceed amount of $494,000, which is the average cost of
additional work over the past several years.
Furthermore, to the extent that there are available budgeted contingency funds, the MCE contract is periodically
amended during the City’s quarterly financial reviews to use additional funding for unforeseen needs.
Capital Outlay: -$3,986,235 / -$279,096
The Fiscal Year 2019-20 Amended budget includes the land acquisition of Amador Plaza, procurement of
situational awareness cameras, and auto license plate recognition cameras to improve the City’s public safety. FY
2020-21 capital outlay budget includes improvements of the Wave, Senior Center, and tree replacements. These
are typically one-time expenditures.

PROPRIETARY FUNDS
Internal Service Funds
The Internal Service Fund provides funding to support the following areas: 1) Replacement of vehicles and fire
apparatus; 2) Replacement of major building system components such as heating and air conditioning systems,
pumps, boilers, etc. at City owned facilities; 3) replacement of office equipment, computers, network
infrastructure, solar equipment, telephone systems, etc.; 4) IT operational costs; and 5) City employees Other
Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB)
Each City operating department budget includes charges for equipment usage and City employees’ post-
employment benefits. The Internal Service Fund charges in departments translate to revenue in the Internal
Services Funds. Department charges are established at a level to sufficiently accumulate funds over time for the
replacement of the equipment, funding for IT costs, and funding for future employee obligations.
The total Internal Service Funds budget for Fiscal Year 2020-21 is $3,653,535, and the projected budget for
Fiscal Year 2021-22 is $3,509,321 (excludes depreciation expense and transfers). Planned Internal Service Fund
purchases are related to building maintenance, replacement of network servers and computers, replacement of
police patrol cars, and retiree health costs.

family residential units; up to 200,000 square feet of retail, office and/or commercial uses; a 30-acre Community
Park; a 5-acre Neighborhood Park, and a 12-acre school site.
The City Council also approved a development agreement with the Developer which outlined their intention to
propose the formation of a Community Facilities District (CFD) by the City pursuant to the Mello-Roos
Community Facilities Act of 1982. A CFD is a defined geographic area in which the City is authorized to levy
annual special taxes to either finance directly the costs of specified public improvements, or to pay debt service
on bonds issued to finance the public improvements, as well as to pay costs of administering the CFD.
On June 2, 2015, the City Council adopted the Resolution of Formation (Reso 96-15), establishing Community
Facilities District No. 2015-1 (Dublin Crossing). In August 2017, the City issued $32.7 million in bonds on behalf
of the CFD. In July 2019, the City issued $37.7 million in bonds on behalf of the CFD.

Geologic Hazard Abatement Districts (GHAD)
A Geologic Hazard Abatement District (District) is a special entity which is established separate from the City
of Dublin and applies to a specific defined area within the City. The District is formed under provisions in the
California Public Resources Code which establishes in Section 26500 that a District is a political subdivision of
the State and is not an agency or instrumentality of a local agency.
The City’s role is limited to providing support to the District, coordinating activities undertaken for the District,
administering the District funds and coordinating the payment of expenses associated with the District. GHAD
funding is collected as part of property tax bills. The District can perform maintenance on defined areas and can
also accumulate reserves to address major or extraordinary work such as a landslide repair.
The Public Resources Code defines a “geologic hazard” as an actual or threatened landslide, land subsidence,
soil erosion, earthquake, fault movement, or any other natural or unnatural movement of land or earth. A District
may be formed for the following purposes: (a) Prevention, mitigation, abatement, or control of a geologic hazard;
or (b) Mitigation or abatement of structural hazards that are partly or wholly caused by geologic hazards (Public
Resources Code 26525).
The City of Dublin has established three separate Districts: Fallon Village Geologic Hazard Abatement District,
Schaefer Ranch Geologic Hazard Abatement District, and Fallon Crossing Geologic Hazard Abatement District.
These Districts are managed by a Board of Directors, which is currently comprised of the Dublin City Council.
Assessments are levied in accordance with an Engineer’s Report prepared for each District and adopted at a
public meeting.
Information in this section is presented for informational purposes, since these activities are not a direct
obligation of the City of Dublin.

Fallon Village Geologic Hazard Abatement District
The Fallon Village Geologic Hazard Abatement District (GHAD) was established in accordance with a condition
of approval for the Fallon Village development project. On December 4, 2007, the City Council approved
Resolution No. 216-07 which created the Fallon Village GHAD. The GHAD was formed to provide a
mechanism for the prevention, mitigation, abatement, and control of identified or potential geologic hazards
within the District’s boundary. The boundary of this assessment district encompasses approximately 175 acres of
land, located generally east of Fallon Road.
On May 3, 2011, the City Council approved Resolution 52-11 approving the annexation of the Jordan Ranch
development into the Fallon Village GHAD. The boundary of the District encompasses approximately 674 acres
of land, located generally east of Fallon Road.
For FY 2019-20, a total of 1,950 parcels were subject to the levy of an assessment which represents all the planned
residential units within the Positano and Jordan Ranch developments. No additional residential parcels are
estimated to be subject to the levy of an assessment in FY 2020-21 or FY 2021-22.

California Employers’ Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT)
The State of California Public Employees Retirement System (CALPERS) developed the CERBT to allow
public agencies to invest money in a trust mechanism to fund other post-employment benefits (OPEB),
otherwise known as retiree health care.
The City of Dublin Retiree Health Plan is a single-employer defined benefit health care plan administered by
CalPERS. The plan provides medical insurance benefits to eligible retiree and their eligible dependents in
accordance with the State Public Employee Retirement Law.
During the Fiscal Year 2006-07, the City made arrangements with CALPERS for the initial establishment of the
trust, and transferred $5.5 million into the trust. The City has established a policy to make annual contribution
for the purpose of funding the Annual Required Contribution (ARC) when there are no budget constraints. The
ARC amount is determined by an Actuarial Study which is required to be updated biennially. The most recent
Actuarial Study was for fiscal year 2019-20. The Annual Required Contribution rates were determined at 1.3%
and 1.1% of salaries for the two fiscal years respectively. It is important to note that the CERBT funds are
not controlled by the City, as they are assets held by and distributed by CalPERS. This page is included
in the budget document for informational purposes only.

Fiscal Year 2020-21 Appropriations Limit
(Based on Fiscal Year 2019-20 Limit Adopted by City Council Resolution No. 48-19)
The Gann Limit, or Proposition 4 Limit, was a 1979 amendment to the California constitution sponsored by
political activist Paul Gann in 1979 on the heels of his property tax-reducing Proposition 13 initiative passed
the prior year. The Gann Limit was designed to regulate state and local spending by linking the rate of
appropriation growth to a statewide index.
In accordance with Chapter 1025 of the statutes of 1987, as amended, each government entity is required to
include the Appropriations Limit in the annual budget. The City of Dublin has calculated a FY 2020-21 limit
in accordance with Article XIII B of the California Constitution and the recognized methodology for calculating
adjustments. The details of this calculation are shown on the following page.
The Appropriations Limit does not apply to all funds appropriated by the City Council. State law limits only the
appropriations that are funded by “proceeds of taxes,” which are narrowly defined. The law also establishes a
formula to be used to calculate annual adjustments to the limit using a combination of two factors selected by
the agency.
The first factor is based on changes in population. Agencies may either select the change in the city population
or the change in county population. For FY 2020-21 the City of Dublin population growth of 2.82% was larger
than the Alameda County population growth of 0.37% (based on the Price and Population Information
provided by the California Department of Finance). Therefore, the adjustment calculation uses the City of
Dublin population growth.
The second factor allows the City to use either 1) the increase in the State Per Capita Personal Income, or 2)
the change in local assessed valuation based on changes in the “Non-residential New Construction.” The change
in the Per Capita Personal Income as provided by the Department of Finance is 3.73%. The change in the
assessed valuation compares the total change in assessed valuation to the amount related strictly to non-
residential improvements, in April 2020, the Alameda County Assessor provided data related to FY 2019-20
changes in assessed valuation attributable to Non-residential New Construction. The amount of the increase
was $66,211,400, or 3.93%. Therefore, the City of Dublin elected to use the change in non-residential assessed
valuation.
The two factors discussed above are combined to arrive at a growth rate for appropriations, which is then
applied to the prior year to arrive at a limit for the new budget year. The City of Dublin’s FY 2020-21
Appropriations Limit is $398,039,721, as shown on the following page, while the FY 2020-21 Budget contains
appropriations of $72,278,418 that would be categorized as funded by proceeds of taxes. Therefore, the City’s
appropriations subject to the Gann Limit are $325,761,303 below the allowed amount calculated for FY 2020-
21.

Fund Balance and Reserves Policy
General Fund and Other Governmental Funds
(Updated June 2015)
This document shall establish the foundation for the components of fund balance and provide requirements
for maintaining reasonable levels of reserves in governmental funds, with a focus on the General Fund. The
presentation of fund balances is also presented in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and
the official City financial records. This document is intended to comply with Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54. In the event of a conflict between this policy and the provisions
of GASB Statement No. 54 the accounting statement shall prevail.
In accordance with the requirements of GASB, the City Council also confirms as part of this policy the order
of expenditures from resources available. The City considers “Restricted” amounts to have been spent prior
to “unrestricted” amounts when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both are available
(“unrestricted” would include Committed, Assigned, and Unassigned). Similarly, when an expenditure is
incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of the unrestricted classifications of fund balance could be
used, the City considers “Committed” amounts to be reduced first, followed by assigned amounts and then
the unassigned amounts.
A. POLICY OBJECTIVES
The City of Dublin’s Fund Balance and Reserves Policy has four primary objectives:
- Determine available liquid resources;
- Classify fund balances in accordance with GASB 54;
- Define the methodology of allocating net resources; and
- Provide information needed to make informed financial decisions.
Periodically the City Manager may recommend to the City Council a review of this policy based on overall
City initiatives and current balances. Any adjustments to the policy shall be adopted by the City Council.
B. CLASSIFICATION OF FUND BALANCES
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 54 and as reported in the City’s financial statements, fund balances
are identified by the following five fund balance classifications:
I. Non-spendable Fund Balance
Non-spendable fund balances are amounts in a form that cannot be spent because they are either (a) in a non-
spendable form such as pre-paid items, inventories, or loans receivable; or (b) they have external restrictions
imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, laws, regulations, etc. However, if the use of the proceeds from
the collection of those receivables or from the sale of those properties is restricted, committed, or assigned,
then they should be included in the appropriate fund balance classification (restricted, committed, or assigned),
rather than non-spendable fund balance.
The following are items that are expected to be recorded as “Non-spendable”:
Appendix City of Dublin Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-22 Budget Page K-28
Prepaid Expenditures: The portion of fund balance that represents the asset amount of prepaid expenditures,
held by a given fund.
Endowments: The portion of fund balance established as an endowment by the donor and in which the principal
balance is not intended for expenditure.
Advances To Other Funds: The portion of the fund balance that represents the asset amount of cash advanced
to other funds, held by a given fund.
Notes / Loans Receivable: The portion of fund balance that represents the asset amount of notes or loans
receivable, held by a given fund.
II. Restricted Fund Balance
Restricted Fund Balance shall reflect that portion of fund balance that reflects constraints placed on the use
of resources (other than non-spendable items) that are either: (a) externally imposed by creditors (such as
through debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or (b) Imposed
by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
The following are items that are expected to be recorded as “Restricted”:
Public Safety Special Revenue Funds: The portion of fund balances derived from funds collected to be used for
Public Safety related activities.
Transportation Special Revenue Funds: The portion of fund balances derived from funds collected to be used for
Transportation related activities.
Environmental Special Revenue Funds: The portion of fund balances derived from funds collected to be used for
Environmental related activities.

for Cultural & Arts related activities.
Health & Welfare Special Revenue Funds: The portion of fund balances derived from funds collected to be used
for Social Services and Housing related activities.

for parks, public facilities, fire and transportation related activities, consistent with the purpose under which
the fee is collected.

Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 54 and not otherwise described in this category above.
Appendix City of Dublin Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-22 Budget Page K-29
III. Committed Fund Balance
Committed Fund Balance shall be comprised of amounts in which the City Council has taken action to commit
the funds before the end of fiscal year. The decision to modify the amount or use of funds designated as
committed can only be changed by action of the City Council.
Economic Stability: The portion of General Fund Balance committed for the purpose of stabilizing the delivery
of City services during periods of severe operational deficits and to mitigate the effects of uncertainties from
unforeseen change in revenues and / or expenditures. City Council approval shall be required before
expending any portion of this fund balance. Reserve shall be used only if: a) Sudden and unexpected decline
in ongoing revenues greater than 5% of General Fund operating revenues; and/or b) Elimination or reduction
of State revenue source(s) received consistently for municipal purposes, resulting in a decrease of $1,000,000
in General Fund revenues; and/or c) Reduction in projected or actual property tax or sales tax of $1 million
or more; and/or d) An increase in contracted Police or Fire Services in excess of 10 percent more than the
previous year.
Downtown Public Improvements Seed Funding: The portion of General Fund Balance established by the City
Council for public improvements in the downtown. The use of this balance is intended to address public
improvements within the Downtown Specific Plan Area. The expenditure is to be identified as a specific
appropriation made by the City Council. The appropriation shall be a minimum of $50,000.

the purchase of emergency radio system equipment. This includes a pro-rata share of regional radio
infrastructure as well as City owned radios for Police, Fire, and Public Works. Further the reserve may be

identified as a specific appropriation made by the City Council.
Fire Retiree Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB): The portion of General Fund Balance established by the
City Council for the future liability related to retiree medical benefits offered to the inactive Dougherty

Council.
Innovations & New Opportunities: The portion of General Fund Balance established by the City Council to fund
potential projects which require up-front costs, but would provide longer term benefits and / or potential
operating cost reductions. The expenditure is to be identified as a specific appropriation made by the City
Council.
Appendix City of Dublin Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-22 Budget Page K-30
One Time Initiatives: The City Council recognizes that there may be fluctuations in revenues and expenditures
over time. Periodically the Council may determine that funds are best set-aside to address certain one-time
initiatives within the operating and/or capital budget. The expenditure is to be identified as a specific
appropriation made by the City Council.
Joint City / School Projects This commitment shall be used to fund projects undertaken via a joint effort of the
City and the Dublin Unified School District. The expenditure is to be identified as a specific appropriation
made by the City Council.
Fund Balance-Committed: The portion of Fund Balance that is in any non-general fund governmental fund that
is committed under the “Committed Fund Balance” definition as otherwise prescribed by Governmental
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 54 and not otherwise described in this category above. The
portion of Fund Balance that was restricted but later found to be unrestricted shall be designated as a
“Committed” balance.
Committed for Specific Projects: The portion of fund balance that is established annually by the City Council to
fund design, improvements, and equipment required for a variety of capital improvement projects. Specific
project designations will be identified with the Resolution Authorizing Special Designations of General Fund
Reserves, to be considered for adoption by the City Council prior to the end of each fiscal year. This reserve
category replaces all subcategories for specific projects, except for the reserves listed here separately, which
are more long term in nature and/or are considered contingency reserves to be used in the case of specific
fiscal necessity.
IV. Assigned Fund Balance
Assigned fund balances are amounts constrained by the City’s intent to be used for a specific purpose, but are
neither restricted nor committed.
The City Council has authorized the City Manager or his/her designee to make assignments in accordance
with this policy and in conformance with any formal direction provided by the City Council.
Accrued Leave Subject To Year End Calculations: Certain fund balances are calculated based on the financial
performance of the reporting period including accrued Leave. These amounts fluctuate each year and are
reflected as part of the year-end financial statements.
Carry-Over Items (Operating Budget & Capital Improvement Projects): Fund balance may be assigned for operating
expenditures (excluding personnel costs) which were not expended in the current year and the expense will
occur in the following year, i.e. encumbrances. Similarly, a Capital Improvement Project may have funds
allocated in a specific year and the project remains incomplete at year end. The City Manager or his/her
designee may assign fund balance representing the unexpended funds. These funds are available for
authorized appropriations in the subsequent year.
Non-Streets Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) Reserve: The portion of General Fund Balance intended to fund
future non-streets capital projects, where total funding may not currently be known, and for which lump sum
amounts will be set aside over time. These funds are available for authorized appropriations in the subsequent
year.
Appendix City of Dublin Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-22 Budget Page K-31
Carry-Over Fiscally Responsible Adjustment: In any year that an appropriation was made to the contingency For
Fiscally Responsible Adjustment the unused fund balance may be assigned as a carry-over for personnel costs.
The City Manager or his/her designee may assign fund balance representing the unexpended funds. These
funds are available for authorized appropriations in the subsequent year in conformance with personnel
policies and procedures.
Catastrophic Facility / Infrastructure Loss & City Business Recovery: The City Council recognizes the importance to
maintain funds to recover from a catastrophic loss which are unexpected and incur more than $500,000 in
expenses to public facilities and infrastructure. This may also be used for short-term recovery and business
operations following a catastrophic loss pending the reimbursement from insurance or grants to the extent
that they are available. The balance is established in the General Fund and the expenditure shall be made
only by City Council appropriation, which shall include a special emergency appropriation. The target
established for the maximum balance in this category is an amount equal to 15% of the reported book value
of the City owned Buildings and Improvements recorded as Capital assets.
Service Continuity Obligations: The City Council recognizes the importance to maintain funds for continued
obligations to provide Building and Safety inspections in the event that program supporting fees are collected
in one year and the expenditures occur in a subsequent year. The City Council hereby establishes as policy
that the assigned funds shall not exceed 125% of the budgeted Building and Safety Division operating cost.
Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefits: The City Council recognizes that investment earnings can fluctuate
from year to year and they are an important component of the funding of retiree benefits. Investment
performance impacts annual contributions and expenditures made towards retiree obligations. The intent of
the City Council is to establish a fund balance that can provide supplemental financing to lessen the impacts
from decreases in investment performance on retiree obligations. The City Manager or designee may allocate
from what would otherwise be “Unassigned” fund balance to increase the fund balance. The use of funds
from this fund balance may be used: (a) if the City Employer share of the Public Employee Retirement System
(PERS) rate increases by 3 percent; and / or (b) If the City Annual Required Contribution (ARC) for retiree
medical benefits increases by 3 percent or more; and / or (c) If the City Council by majority vote authorizes
a lump sum use of the fund balance to reduce pension or OPEB liabilities.
Assigned for Specific Projects: The portion of fund balance that is intended to be used to fund design,
improvements, and equipment required for a variety of capital improvement projects, via recommendation of
either the City Council or the City Manager. Specific assigned reserves will be identified with the Resolution
Authorizing Special Designations of General Fund Reserves, to be considered for adoption by the City
Council prior to the end of each fiscal year. This reserve category replaces all subcategories for specific
projects, except for the reserves listed here separately, which are more long term in nature and/or are
considered contingency reserves to be used in the case of specific fiscal necessity.
IV. Unassigned Fund Balance (General Fund Only)
Unassigned fund balance represents amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or assigned and is
available for any purpose. The City Council at its discretion may modify unassigned fund balance, and
designate in the future an intended “Commitment” or “Assignment”.
Unrealized Gain on Investments: Used to account for that portion of fund balance that is the result of unrealized
investment gains that have been recorded in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 31.
Appendix City of Dublin Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-22 Budget Page K-32
Unassigned For Cash Flow Purposes: The City Council recognizes the importance to maintain funds for cash flow
purposes to balance the fact that the receipt of major revenues and major expenditure disbursements are not
evenly distributed throughout the year. The City Council establishes as policy that this fund balance shall be
at a minimum equal to two months of budgeted operating expenditures with a goal to achieve a maximum of
four months. As part of the annual budget appropriation the City Council may also appropriate as a source
of funding “Unrestricted – Capital Contribution” from this source. This shall typically be done only for high
priority one-time capital expenditures, provided the minimum fund balance would remain.
C. CHANGES IN GENERAL FUND RESOURCES
In accordance with the requirements of GASB the City Council also confirms as part of this policy how
General Fund resources shall impact changes in balances.
Revenue Sources Allocated to Fire OPEB: The entire amount of the General Fund resources derived from the
repayment of funds advanced to the PERS Side Fund, shall be assigned to the Fire OPEB Committed Balance,
until such time that either there are no longer any repayments made, or the balance equals $8.6 million,
whichever occurs first.
Revenue Sources Allocated to Service Continuity: If the “Assigned” balance is below the target maximum of 125%
of Building & Safety Expenditures, the following criteria shall be used for calculating an adjustment. The
Administrative Services Director shall complete an analysis of major building permits issued in the period
April – June and shall assign an allocation of the portion of revenue that is expected to be related to
expenditures occurring in the subsequent year. The amount derived shall be recommended to the City
Manager. If annual building permit revenue is less than the annual Building and Safety expenditures, the City
Manager is authorized to reduce the assigned amount by the amount necessary to balance revenues and
expenditures.
Allocation of Residual Resources: When there are net resources in excess of what is classified as Non-spendable,
Restricted, Committed, and/or Assigned, and after maintaining the minimum level of unassigned cash-flow
funding, those resources shall be allocated as follows: a) 50% to Pension and Other Post Employment
Benefits; and b) 50% to Non-Streets CIP Reserve.

Note: The Census defines a household as all persons who occupy a housing unit. This definition includes single persons living alone, families related
through marriage or blood, and unrelated individuals living together. Persons living in retirement or convalescent homes, dormitories, or other group
living situations are not considered households. Examples of large group quarters in Dublin include the Santa Rita Jail and Federal Correctional
Institution, Dublin (“FCI Dublin”), both located near the Camp Parks Reserve Forces Training Area.

Legal Debt Limit
The City of Dublin does not currently have any bonded indebtedness, and does not intend to issue any such debt
in the foreseeable future.
The following table illustrates the City’s most recent debt limit over a five-year period, as presented in the FY
2018-2019 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. The Government Code of the State of California provides
for a legal debt limit of 15% of gross assessed valuation. However, this provision was enacted when assessed
valuation was based on 25% of market value. Effective with FY 1981-82, each parcel is now assessed at 100% of
market value (as of the most recent change in ownership for that parcel). The computations shown below reflect
a conversion of assessed valuation data for each fiscal year from the current full valuation to the 25% level that
was in effect at the time that the legal debt margin for local governments was enacted by the State.
