'Three~ Digit Social Service Hotline (2-1-1) Funding Reauest
6:12 p.m. 5.1 (585-40)
Admmistrative Analyst Roger Bradley presented the Staff Report and advised that the
Council would review a funding request by Eden I & R (Information and Referral). Eden
1& R was requesting that the Council approve $10,000 in grant monies for the creation
of a 2-1-1 telephone serviCe, which would provide citizens access to Human and Social
Services in a Similar manner to the 9-1-1 Emergency Hotline. This funding request
would be an annual request until Eden I & R received alternative funding.
Mayor Lockhart asked if those Cities that did not partiCipate in the funding would receive
full service.
City Manager Ambrose advised that Staff was uncertain. Eden I & R had a desJgnated
timeframe to get this service started. The County's participation was critical and,
although Staff recommended that Dublin participate only if 50% of the Cities m Alameda
County also partiCipated, it was unlikely that the program could work Without full
participation.
The Council discussed the program and agreed that this type of service had ment, and
Dublin did not want to be the City that hindered the program.
On motion of Cm. McCormick, seconded by Cm. Hildenbrand and by unammous vote,
the City Council approved funding the program and directed Staff to include $10,000
funding in Fiscal Year 2006-2007 Budget contingent upon full participation by Alameda
County and participation by at least 50% of the Cities within Alameda County.

Ms. Evans adVised that they worked with Stopwaste.org, but had not contacted the
Chamber of Commerce or AVI. They worked with Dublin Staff on the business
certification process, and had certified SiX businesses in nine years. Unfortunately, none
of the East County Cities had the same level of activity as m other East Bay cities. It was
apparent that they needed to redouble their efforts in the Cities that did not have much
participation.
Mayor Lockhart expressed concern about the low number of certified busmesses in
Dublm and did not see the benefit to Dublm.
The Council discussed the funding request for the Green Business Program and agreed
that, although it was an admirable program, there did not seem to be much outreach to
the Dublin community. The Council suggested that they arrange to speak at Chamber
events to discuss the economiC mcentives to be certified in thiS program.
City Manager Ambrose advised that the Council had asked that Childcare Links provide
more mformation regarding the additional mcrement requested related to the recent

Ms. Alex explained that the estimated savings of holding these two items out of the bid
process would be about $32,000, bringing the total project cost closer to the budgeted
amount of $430,000. These items could be included in the project after reviewing the
bids and confirming what funds would be available for additional items.
Cm. Hildenbrand asked if the agihty course for small dogs was still included in the bid
items.
Ms. Alex stated that, at a previous Council meeting, it was determined that the pubhc
preferred not to have a small dog agility course, but rather have a grass area in which the
smaller dogs could run around.
Cm. McCormick Informed the Council that the Dublin Fine Arts Foundation had selected
an artist for the art project for the park, and this artist was interested in working with the
City to deSign benches for the park.

agility course for large dogs. He would like to see it Included in the bid process.
Mayor Lockhart closed the pubhc hearing.

large dog agility course, and benches In the lump sum bid process.

Village Plaza, which included the construction of 56 townhomes and the remodehng of
114,000 square feet of an existing commercial building. The amendment also included
minor clean-up items.
Cm. Zika asked Staff, if the Council agreed with the Plannmg Commission's request,
would the City be giving up any leverage to get the property owner to begm the remodel
of the shopping center. As it was, it could remain in the same condition, or even get
worse.
Ms. Nuccio confirmed that the only leverage the City had was to hold up the residential
occupancy until the commercial remodel was completed, as per the current plan.
Cm. Hildenbrand asked if plans had been submitted by the property owner for the
commercial remodel.
Ms. Nuccio stated that the City was on the third plan check reView.
Tuan Nguyen, owner of a lawn mower repair shop 1TI the commercial portion of the
property, discussed changes that had occurred at hiS business since Bancorp had
purchased the commercial building. Accessibility and use of space had been reduced, as
had the number of parking places in front of hiS shop. The busmess had been negatively
affected by dust and construction and the number of customers had decreased. Bancorp
had offered at first to buy him out and now Mr. Nguyen had been informed his lease
would increase by 17%. He felt hiS business was not seen as appropriate for that area.
Jeff Lawrence, Braddock & Logan, discussed earher meetings with the City when they
were deciding to buyout the reSidential portion of the project. Braddock & Logan felt
they had done their due dihgence 1TI proceeding with the proJect. They were under the
impreSSiOn that the commercial remodel would go forward. They had even tried to buy

the complex from Bancorp. He wanted the CIty to know that Braddock & Logan were
dealing in good faith. He respectfully requested that Braddock & Logan be allowed to
move forward.
The Council and Mr. Lawrence discussed Braddock & Logan's inability and lack of
leverage to compel the owners of the commercial property to commence with the
remodel.
The Council suggested taking a legal route.
Mr. Lawrence informed them that thiS was not an option.
Mayor Lockhart closed the pubhc heanng.

with the project. She mformed the Council that she had had a conversation with Mr.
Corbett, the property owner, that left her With the impression that he would go forward
with the improvements. She suggested the Council support the Planmng CommissiOn's
recommendations.
Cm. McCormick asked City Attorney Ehzabeth Silver if the City had any leverage to get
the property owner to commence with the remodel.
City Attorney Silver commented that, at this point and time, the only leverage the City
had was to not issue the tenancy permits to Braddock & Logan.
Cm. Zika stated he would vote for an option that amended the phasing plan that still
included the commercial remodel, but not Option #1 that did not mclude the
commercial remodel in the occupancy phasing plan of the residential umts.
Cm. Hildenbrand stated that this project should be Viewed as a lesson learned by the City
m reference to owners' responsibilities.

Planmng Manager Mary JO Wilson presented the Staff Report and advised that, m the
Fiscal Year 2002-2003 Goals & Objectives program, the City Council ranked, as a high
priority, the initiation of a Specific Plan for the Scarlett Court area. The Scarlett Court
area was approximately 52 acres and was bounded by Dougherty Road, Dublin
Boulevard, 1-580 and the Iron Horse Trail right-of-way. At the time, the City Council
was concerned about potential development/redevelopment of several large and
underutilized parcels. Staff was requesting the City Council to provide direction on how
Staff should move forward With the preparation of the Plan.
Doreen Green, Dublin resident, read from a Dubhn Chamber of Commerce article about
small businesses bemg the backbone of the area. She stated that she agreed with the
article and wanted to see the Scarlett Court area kept as small businesses. The City's
Conditional Use Permit for such busmesses was cumbersome, and she requested that the
City rethmk the process. She commended the City for its support of small businesses m
Dublm and asked the Council to look on them kmdly.
Bill Shaub, Planning Commission Chairperson, discussed conversations he had with small
business owners m Dublin that might need to move due to the development of the West
Dublm BART station. There were few areas m Dublin that could accommOOate light
industrial businesses. He suggested the City take a look at mciuding single bay or double
bay businesses in the Scarlett Court area to keep this type of business in Dublm.
Cm. Zika referred to a letter distributed to the Council at the meeting by Brad Kassabian
and asked Staff if zomng would need to be changed for the area if Kassabian Motors
