MAYORAL VACANCY 7:0:3 p.m. :3.1 (610-:30) Mayor Pro Tempore Lockhart announced that anyone who wished to comment would be given an opportunity to speak. She requested that speaker slips be filled out by everyone who speaks. Cynthia Morse, Lake Drive stated she has lived here 7 years. For about 5 years she wasn't involved in anything in the City, then she met Janet Lockhart and got involved. She stated she wished to put in a bid for an appointment and that it be Janet. She has found her to be so responsive and able to look at all sides of things. She cares a great deal about Dublin. Dave Burton, Dillon Way spoke on the Old Murray School Bell To~ver and stated he was present to report that the Rotary Club has raised $11,000 as of their first mailing. DH?A has pledged to match them. They have about another $10,000 to go and he stated he hopes the public will respond to this. The Women's Club will get the bell The Chamber supports this. He stated he looks forward to having this by our 30~ anniversary next year. Morgan King, Creekside Drive, encouraged the City Council to appoint Ms. Lockhart as Mayor. A year or two ago the City had a committee set up to work on an initiative and there was high potential for not getting things done. All who were part of the committee were impressed with Janet's talent in getting everybody to behave. It is an art form and a talent. This is extremely valuable for someone who would occupy the position of Mayor. She has a set of political values and goals for Dublin. All who have worked with her wholeheartedly recommend her outright appointment tonight. Shawn Costello stated he understands that Janet is a very good choice for Mayor. Last year he ran for Mayor because he really likes this City. He has been here for 17 years and wants to help the City. Janet actually helps him the most of anyone in this whole City. He stated he wishes he could be nominated himself so he could add to this wonderful cast and help out. If he can't, he will let Janet have it. On the Council position, he would like to have a stab at that too. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 20 REGULAR MEETING November 6, 2001 PAGE 459 City Manager Richard Ambrose presented the Staff Report. On October 23~d, the City received written notification that effective October 18th, Guy S. Houston resigned his position as Mayor of Dublin. The Council has 30 days (until November 17th) to either appoint someone to fill the Mayor's unexpired term (through November 5, 2002) or call a special election to fill the unexpired term of office. Mr. Ambrose stated Staff recommended that the Council discuss the options and either: 1) appoint individual to fill Mayor's unexpired term and direct Staff to administer the Oath of Office to the newly appointed Mayor, or 2) call a Special Election on March 5, 2002, adopt the two Resolutions, and approve the $21,000 Budget Change from Unappropriated Reserves to the Elections Account. Cm. Oravetz stated last December, the very first vote he cast was to vote for a new Vice Mayor, and he voted for Janet Lockhart. He stated he felt that if something should happen to Guy he would want the most experienced person to step in as Mayor. A special election which would cost $21,000 and the person would be Mayor for just a few months. It is a short year until the next general election and he is looking for continuity. We now need a new Vice Mayor and he stated he would ask Cm. Zika to fill that position. He agrees that if Janet is appointed, we can have an election for the remainder of her 3-year seat. He felt the City Council with 4 members could handle the business on an interim basis for just a few meetings until someone is elected. Mayor Pro Tempore Lockhart pointed out that they are only dealing with the Mayor's position at this point. Cm. McCormick nominated Janet Lockhart to fill the unexpired term of Mayor. Cm. Zika moved to close nominations. Janet Lockhart was selected Mayor by a unanimous vote. City Clerk Kay Keck administered the Oath of Office, congratulated and presented the Mayor's ceremonial chain of office to Mayor Lockhart. CITY COUNCIL M/NUTE$ VOLUME 20 REGULAR MEETING November 6, 2001 PAGE 460 DRAFF COMPACT FOR A SUSTAINABLE BAY AREA 7:20 p.m. 3.2 (420-70) Planning Manager Jeri Ram presented the Staff Report. The BAASD has prepared a draft Compact for a Sustainable Bay Area and have requested that the City Council provide feedback on the draft Compact. The Compact contains 10 Commitments to action: 1) Enable a diversified, sustainable and competitive economy to continue to prosper and provide jobs in order to achieve a high quality of life for all Bay Area residents; 2) Accommodate sufficient housing affordable to all income levels within the Bay Area to match population increases and job generation; 3) Target transportation investment to achieve a world-class comprehensive, integrated and balanced multi-modal system that supports efficient land use and decreases dependency on single-occupancy vehicle trips; 4) Preserve and restore the region's natural asset, including San Francisco Bay, farmland, open space, other habitats, and air and water quality; 5) Use resources efficiently, eliminate pollution and reduce waste; 6) Focus investment to preserve and revitalize neighborhoods; 7) Provide all residents with the opportunity for quality education and lifelong learning to help them meet their highest aspirations; 8) Promote healthy and safe communities; 9) Implement local government fiscal reforms and revenue sharing; and 1 O) Stimulate civic engagement Surlene Grant, Local Government Liaison for BAASD and a San Leandro City Councilmember congratulated Mayor Lockhart, and commented that Jeri presented a wonderful report. Part of their exercise is that they've been going to all the cities in the 9 Bay Area Counties. This document is online at www.bayareaalliance.org. They would like a statement of support for the principles put forth in this document and feedback from the Council as well as the public. The 10 commitments and suggested actions are guiding principles and were put together by more than 47 agencies that got together to work toward more sustainable neighborhoods. There is suggestion of regionalism and approaches toward that but this is not to take away from local authority. Air pollution and traffic congestion don't stop at city limits and it's all a part of a greater Bay Area. A number of these actions are already in place and the City was commended for what it is doing, with specific mention of the Computers in our Schools project. Number 9 is the one that raises the most eyebrows. This would eliminate some of the competitiveness of some of the cities. There may be times when we need to work together. They're not asking that we give away our sales tax revenue. She asked that in the letter, we state our concerns to say we support or have concerns related to specific items. Other cities in Alameda County have adopted this as well as cities in Contra Costa County. Cm. Oravetz asked if there were any cities in Alameda County not supporting this. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 20 REGULAR MEETING November 6, 2001 PAGE 461 Ms. Grant responded that 3 cities have voted to say they will not support it, but they are in Matin County. Eight cities in Alameda County have endorsed it and the other cities are pending. Mayor Lockhart asked if she had read the draft letter. Ms. Grant stated she would like it to say specifically the things we don't agree with on #$ and #9 and if we could identify these points, she would appreciate this. There are some good policy statements. Mayor Lockhart stated we are involved in regional transportation planning and asked Staff how they see the difference. Ms. Ram stated it is generally a difference in the policy with criteria on how funding will be based in the future. There are set criteria and points that you get credit for certain things. Staff is not sure how Dublin will stand with regard to receiving funding. We compete for monies for City projects like widening some of our arterials. Based on some of the statements in the Compact, the criteria for funding may change. Cm. Zika commented on some of the things MTC is doing to us. They skimmed $17 million for a ferry system. Another thing was a study for another southern crossing for a bridge done in 1995 and they estimated that the toll would be $9. We would lose out. The way traffic funds are allocated are based on a per capita basis. ABAG has felt we should share more equitably with affordable housing and we get requirement to provide 30% for the County. Cm. McCormick stated she felt the letter needs to be worked on and Staff should put in more details. Cm. Zika recommended we look at issues #2 and #3 and also #0. Some of this stuff we are already doing. The letter only addresses the fiscal. Cm. McCormick stated she would like to see the letter more strongly support the items we are doing and then itemize the other ones. Cm. Oravetz seconded the motion to say #2, #3 and #0 we have concerns with. He supports incentives for affordable housing and stated he felt we should explain what we're doing with #2. Mayor Loc~art stated she did not feel this is the place to address ABAG's numbers. Cm. McCormick stated she supports objections to #3 and #9 and expressing support for the other 8. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 20 REGULAR MEETING November 6, 2001 PAGE 462 On motion of Cm. McCormick, seconded by Mayor Lockhart, and by unanimous vote, the Council authorized the Mayor to sign and send a letter to BAASD as discussed, expressing support for areas of the draft Compact and expressing concerns in the areas of regionalism in transportation and land use planning and revenue sharing. Cm. Zika stated he would give conditional support. Cm. Oravetz stated he would like to state something on the ABAG figures. Mr. Ambrose stated with regard to #2, there is a recognition that most cities are not happy with the numbers. LETTER FROM CONCERNED BUSINESS AND LOCAL AGENCY INTERESTS REGARDING THE REGIONAL AGENCIES SMART GROWTH WORKSHOP 7:51 p.m. 3.3 (420-70) Planning Manager Jeri Ram presented the Staff Report and advised that the City has received a letter from Concerned Business and Local Agency Interests regarding the Regional Agencies Smart Growth Strategy, Bay Area Alliance for Sustainable Development Regional Livability Footprint Project. The letter asks the City Council to: 1. Send a letter to appropriate ABAG Staff and, as soon as possible, the Regional Agencies Smart Growth Steering Committee requesting the opportunity for your agency's planning staff to review and comment on the preliminary conclusions drawn from the Alameda County workshop of September 8, 2001. 2. Direct your planning staff to review and analyze the preliminary conclusions from the Alameda County workshop in order to conclude how the specific suggestions posed by workshop participants would affect your jurisdiction specifically. 3. Prepare a response to the Steering Committee and appropriate ABAG staff detailing your jurisdiction's reaction, and if appropriate, your concerns, regarding the results of the first workshop. The response should occur no later than two weeks from the time planning staff receives feedback from ABAG and include commenting on the following subjects: Implementation, Political Plausibility and Financial Feasibility. Ms. Ram stated ABAG has reviewed the letter from Concerned Business and Local Interests and submitted a response and noted that following the first round workshops, there is a distillation and analysis period, then a second round of workshops. No conclusions were drawn from the first round of workshops. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 20 REGULAR MEETING November 6, 2001 PAGE 463 Cm. McCormick commented on the letter from Mr. Raycraft in response to the letter from all the signers and asked if this is a response to Ms. Ram's letter? Ms. Ram stated she has not prepared a response. Mr. Ambrose stated this involves a great deal of Staff work. We have a large list of goals & objectives. Cm. McCormick stated she felt Mr. Raycraft's letter makes it clear that this is in the beginning steps. Staff will be attending the workshop. 7:55 p.m. Shawn Costello stated he had a little problem with a police officer a couple of weeks ago. He was crossing an intersection and the light changed on him and he got a ticket from the officer that was practically following him. He normally crosses the intersection in such a way that he gets cut off all the time by motorists jumping the red light. He pushes the buttons in a certain way so that he can cross safely. He stated today, he was going on a green light at the same intersection and cars come 50 mph behind him and don't care if he is there. They practically run over his feet. He would like stop lights to be timed so that when he pushes the button, it will stay green. There are 8 new wheelchair people that live in Arroyo Vista that use this same crosswalk. It is important that something be done so they don't get tickets. They are taking their lives in their hands everyday. He proposed that he get on the agenda with no turn on red in certain sections of the City because they don't care for wheelchair people. He stated he has been hit 7 times in this City. He would abide by the rules if the cars abide by the rules. He jumps the lights sometimes to get away from the cars. He stated he is adamant about this and wants it on the agenda for safety of all wheelchairs in the City. Mayor Lockhart referred to Public Works to check the timing of the crosswalks. Mr. Costello stated he has already done this and they can't do anything about it to make things safer. Mayor Lockhart stated this will be discussed with Public Works. CITY COUNCIL MINUTg$ VOLUME 20 REGULAR MEETING November 6, 2001 PAGE 464 8:0:3 p.m. Kevin Solberg, Donohue Drive, congratulated Mayor Lockhart. He stated with regard to bicycles in the Dublin Skate Park, they should be allowed there because they don't do any more damage than skateboards. They are getting tickets and being harassed. Cm. Oravetz reported that nothing from the League has happened. This is a liability issue for the City. He and Parks & Community Services Director Diane Ix>wart are supposed to get together on this. Mr. Ambrose stated the City cannot take any action until the state changes the law to offer immunity. Citizens are exposed to substantial financial impacts should an accident Occur. 8:05 p.m. Mark Breazeal congratulated Mayor Lockhart and stated he was sure she will use her experience and common sense. We still have a lot of problems. The City Council can improve the Dublin economy. There's no gym the community can use full time and no library and no affordable housing and a delay in a second BART station and Dublin needs more parks and open space. We need good school scores and quality of life. We need to become a beacon for other communities. Your actions do not match your words. He stated he would like to have the G&O re-reviewed again. Dublin can persevere and make this an exciting community to live and work. There are some serious issues that haven't been addressed yet. He stated he hopes the next Councilmember will make this a better team than what we've had in the past. Dublin should be able to override the economy. Speaking as an economist, there are better ways we can do things for Dublin citizens. 8:09 p.m. Kasie Hildenbrand, Westwood Court, invited everyone to Thursday night's Friends of Dublin meeting at the Library. Joe Devris from Alameda County will be discussing the Juvenile Detention Facility. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 20 REGULAR MEETING November 6, 2001 PAGE 465 8:10 p.m. Nicholas Clark, Coral Way, discussed the lack of a bicycle route between Dublin Boulevard and Hacienda Crossings.

Mr. Thompson explained that we must come up with a solution. We have participated. If this Plan is not approved by all the participating agencies and the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency, the agencies could have their State Gas Tax subventions withheld.

Public Works Director Lee Thompson presented the Staff Report and advised that the streets in Dublin Ranch have not yet been accepted by the City; however, many of the homes have been occupied for quite some time. At this time, the prima facie 25 mph speed limit for residential streets applies to the streets in this development. Once the streets have been accepted, speed surveys will be conducted in appropriate locations. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 20 REGULAR MEETING November 6, 2001 PAGE 470 This action will allow Police Services to more actively enforce traffic regulations and the CVC within Dublin Ranch. Dr. Victor Miranda, Blackstone Road, submitted a statement, which was read by Mayor Lockhart. "1. I would rather see the tax dollars t~ spent en£orcin$ CVC at Tassajara Road between Dublin Ranch and Dublin Boulevard 3. I am opposed to havin$ the Police Patrol an area that can be better ser~e with speed bumps. $. Spent the tax dollars by keepin$ the neishborhood safe by patrolling the Santa Fd'ta Jail Area." Mayor Lockhart closed the public hearing. Cm. McCormick clarified that the cost of traffic control will be paid by the developer. On motion of Cm. Zika, seconded by Cm. Oravetz, and by unanimous vote, the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 191 -01 APPROVING ENFORCEMENT OF TRAFFIC REGULATIONS UNDER THE CALIFORNIA VEHICLE CODE SECTION 21107.5 NORTH AND SOUTH DUBLIN RANCH DRIVE, ANTONE WAY, AND STREETS WITHIN TRACTS 6956, 6957, 6958, 6959, 6960 AND 6961 PUBLIC HEARING ENFORCEMENT OF POLICE PARKING SPACES AT HACIENDA CROSSINGS 8:27 p.m. 6.2 (590~$0) Mayor Lockhart opened the public hearing. Public Works Director Lee Thompson presented the Staff Report and advised that there are 3 existing parking spaces at Hacienda Crossings which are designated for police vehicle parking. Police Services has indicated that when the shopping center is crowded, those spaces are sometimes taken by civilian vehicles. This is the first reading of a proposed Ordinance that would allow Police Services to issue parking citations or tow vehicles that are parked in the designated police parking spaces. Mr. Thompson advised that the property owner has requested changes since the statement was written. They request that we eliminate the provision for towing and just have $25 ticket. A revised resolution was distributed. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 20 REGULAR MEETING November 6, 2001 PAGE 471 No testimony was entered by any member of the public relative to this issue. Mayor Lockhart closed the public hearing. Cm. Zika questioned why we would eliminate towing. If they park at the curb, this really screws up traffic. Mr. Thompson stated the shopping center people are afraid of bad will. It is also sometimes time consuming to get cars towed. Cm. Oravetz stated he likes to see the officers walking in the area by the theater. Chief Thuman stated unfortunately the Police have to respond to in-store requests and it is preferable to not have to move an individual extended distances through the parking lot. The spaces are strategically located. On motion of Cm. McCormick, seconded by Cm. Oravetz, and by unanimous vote, the Council waived the reading and INTRODUCED the revised Ordinance. PUBLIC HEARING REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF COMPETITIVE BID FOR REPAIR OF SECURITY SYSTEM FOR HOLDING CELLS 8:32 p.m. 6.3 (200~20) Mayor Lockhart opened the public hearing. Public Works Administrative Analyst Ginger Russell presented the Staff Report and advised that it is proposed to contract with McMillan Security Systems for repair work on the holding cells as this company initially installed the security system and they have serviced the system since installation. The estimated cost of the proposed work is $8,000. This item requests that the City Council make the finding that competitively bidding the repair work would not produce an advantage to the public, as additional costs and time delays related to preparation of plans and specifications would be incurred. Cm. McCormick asked if there are a number of other security companies that do this type of work. Ms. Russell responded yes but the problem would be them having to start from ground zero and figure out all the ins and outs. There is also a time factor involved. CITY COUNCIL/VlINUTES VOLUME 20 REGULAR MEETING November 6, 2001 PAGE 472 No testimony was entered by any member of the public relative to this issue. Mayor Lockhart closed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Oravetz, seconded by Cm.

Councilmembers present. The meeting reconvened at 8:50 p.m., with all PUBLIC HEARING - EASTERN DUBLIN PROPERTIES SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (PD) PREZONE (STAGE 1 DEVELOPMENT PLAN) ORDINANCE, PRE-ANNEXATION AGREEMENT AND RESOLUTION FOR REORGANIZATION APPLICATION TO LAFCO PA 00-025 8:50 p.m. 6.4 (620~20) Mayor Lockhart opened the public hearing. Senior Planner Andy Byde presented the Staff Report and advised that on October 16, 2001, the City Council re-introduced the PD Prezoning Ordinance and continued this item to the November 6th City Council meeting. The Project area is approximately 1,120 acres, located in an unincorporated area of Alameda County bounded by 1~580 to the south and Fallon Road to the west. The Project area abuts the eastern Dublin City Limit boundary. Approximately 472 acres of the Project area is included within the City's Eastern Dublin Specific Plan boundary, while CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 20 REGULAR MEETING November 6, 2001 PAGE 473 the remainder is within the 1993 Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment area. The entire Project area is located within the City's General Plan Planning Area and Sphere of Influence. The Project area consists of 13 different parcels of land, under 11 separate ownerships. Mr. Byde stated given the extent of the concerns and comments received during the October 16th public hearing, Staff recommends that this item be removed from consideration at this time. Staff will recirculate the SEIR and return to the City Council at a later date with a recommendation regarding certification of the SEIR, approval of a PD Prezoning Ordinance, Resolution for Reorganization Application to LAFCO, and Pre- annexation Agreements for the Eastern Dublin Properties project. Tom Ford, Tina Place, congratulated Mayor Lockhart. This is a 10-year-old PIlL Things have changed drastically. It is rather fool hearty to proceed with this report, particularly when looking at a rather long and expensive lawsuit. The water situation in California has changed drastically in the last 10 years and we have a considerably increased population with increased demands. He strongly urged the Council to open and review the whole EIR and discuss it in public. Mike Daley, 2530 San Pablo Avenue, Berkeley 94702, stated he is a staff member for the Sierra Club Bay Area Chapter and also concurs with Staff. This will give an opportunity to review the EIR and address concerns. He requested that they be placed on a mailing list for notification of meetings and release of documents. Margaret Tracy, Madison Avenue, Livermore congratulated Mayor Lockhart. She stated two groups (Citizens for Balanced Growth and Preserve Area Ridgelands Committee) agree that the SIER needs to be recirculated. She urged that we look at some of the impacts and comments that were glossed over. Place existing growth within existing areas and leave more open space and wildlife habitat. Coordinate with LAVTA and BART for transit services with transit nodes. Development should be planned to encourage public transit use and discourage individual transportation use. Carolyn Morgan, Doolan Road, Livermore stated she does not concur with Staff. The SEIR should not be recirculated; it should be thrown out. She stated she was really disappointed that she did not receive any notice of the recirculation or copy of the PIlL When they contacted City offices, they were assured that nothing in this agenda item had anything to do with Doolan Canyon. They want to make sure they are on our mailing list. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 20 REGULAR MEETING November 6, 200t PAGE 474 Doug Bell, LARPD General Manager, presented a letter for the record with comments outlining their concerns. He stated they are in full support of referring this item back to staff. Tom Benigno, 2334 California Street, Escalon 95320, congratulated Mayor Lockhart and stated things have changed in the last 5 or 6 years since he addressed the Council. He stated he was here to represent the water issue. They don't talk about the shortage of water and this is a key issue. Evelyn Stivers, 1025 62nd Street # 105, Walnut Creek 94 596 stated she was representing the Greenbelt Alliance. They are very concerned about east Dublin development and the general pattern of development which has occurred in Dublin in the last 5 years. They want to receive notice of any items and would like to be on the agenda mailing list. Mayor Lockhart closed the public hearing. The Council referred the matter to Staff for further work. PUBLIC HEARING - URGENCY ORDINANCE PROVIDING PROCEDURE FOR FILLING COUNCIL VACANCIES 9:05 p.m. 6.5 (610-20) Mayor Lockhart opened the public hearing. City Attorney Elizabeth Silver presented the Staff Report and explained that Government Code Sections 36512 (b) and 36512 (c) (3) provide options available upon a Councilmember vacancy on the City Council. The options basically include appointing someone to fill the remainder of the term, calling a special election within a specific number of days, or calling a special election and appointing someone to fill the vacancy on an interim basis until the special election. Two Urgency Ordinance are being presented: one Ordinance would amend the Dublin Municipal Code and a second Ordinance would be applicable only to Councilmember vacancies occurring before the General Municipal Election on November 5, 2002, and would not be codified in the Municipal Code. No testimony was entered by any member of the public relative to this issue. Mayor Lockhart closed the public hearing. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 20 REGULAR MEETING November 6, 2001 PAGE 475 Cm. Oravetz stated he would like to see us have an election. This would be good for the community. Cm. McCormick stated she was willing to support this and willing to leave the position vacant for 13 or so meetings. She was concerned about Staff time to bring someone up to speed for just a few meetings. Cm. Zika concurred. No action was taken. APPOINTMENT OF CITY COUNCIL SUBCOMMITrEE TO REVIEW ENERGY FEASIBILITY RFP 9:11 p.m. 7.1 (110~30) Economic Development Director Chris Foss presented the Staff Report and advised that at its meeting of August 21,2001, the City Council directed Staff to prepare a Request for Proposal to secure the services of an independent energy consultant to help the City identify issues related to energy production. At that meeting, the City Council selected Mayor Houston and Cm. Oravetz to serve on a subcommittee charged with reviewing the RFP submittals. Due to Mayor Houston's resignation, Staff requested that the City Council appoint another Councilmember to serve on the review committee. Mayor Lockhart stated she would be interested in replacing Guy Houston on this committee. Cm. McCormick stated after attending a meeting, she felt maybe the scope needs to be narrowed down a bit. Cm. Zika agreed after attending some meetings and reading various articles. If we could find out some information up front, maybe we could cut down on some staff time. Mr. Foss stated the RFPs were received, and the Council subcommittee can look at the scope of the submittals. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 20 REGULAR MEETING November 6, 2001 PAGE 476 INSTALLATION OF A aRIGHT TURN ON RED FROM RIGHT LANE ONLY SIGN" FOR THE RIGHT-TURN MOVEMENT FROM NORTHBOUND SAN RAMON ROAD ONTO EASTBOUND DUBLIN BOULEVARD 9:14 p.m. 7.2 (590-40) Public Works Director Lee Thompson presented the Staff Report and advised that this proposed sign change is in response to a complaint from a bicyclist who travels west to east through this intersection and has conflicts from two north to eastbound lanes turning right on red. In light of the concerns regarding the safety of bicyclists and pedestrians at this intersection, Staff recommends prohibiting traffic from making right-turns on red from the leftmost right-turn lane only. This prohibition can be implemented by posting a traffic sign on the northeast corner of the intersection facing northbound traffic that reads: "Right Turn On Red From Right Lane Only". Once the sign has been installed, Staff will closely monitor this intersection during peak periods to ensure that this operational change would not cause excessive or unsafe traffic backups on the northbound approach of the intersection. Also, if needed, Staff will make signal-timing adjustments to facilitate traffic flows through this intersection. Mayor Lockhart stated this also affects pedestrians. This is really a wide intersection. Cm. Zika asked if there had been any issue on the other side of Dublin Boulevard with two right turns. On motion of Cm. Zika, seconded by Cm. McCormick, and by unanimous vote, the Council approved installation of a "Right Turn On Red From Right Lane Only" sign from San Ramon Road to eastbound Dublin Boulevard. POTENTIAL COUNCIL VACANCY CREATED BY FILLING MAYORAL POSITION 9:18 p.m. 8.1 (610-$0) City Manager Richard Ambrose presented the Staff Report and advised that since earlier in the meeting, the Council appointed Janet Lockhart as Mayor, this creates a vacancy on the Council with a term which expires in November, 2004. Mr. Ambrose explained the various options available to the Council. The Council may appoint an individual to fill the unexpired term (until November, 2004), or call a special election. In order for the special election to be on March 5, 2002, the election would have to be called tonight and the nomination period would open next Monday, November 12th. CITY COUNCIL MI1WtJTBS VOLUME 20 REGULAR MEETING November 6, 2001 PAGE 477 The Council actually has 30 days from today to either fill the Council vacancy by appointment or call a special election. If the Council does not call a special election at this meeting, the next established election date is April 9, 2002. No funding is included in the 2001-02 Fiscal Year Budget for election costs. If a Special Election is called on March 5, 2002, a Budget Transfer of $21,000 would be required. Staff has estimated that publication costs for each Candidate Statement will be $425. In summary, the Council may: · Appoint an individual to fill the unexpired term. · Call a Special Election on March 5, 2002. (If this option is selected, the Council should adopt Resolutions related to calling the election, other procedural matters and related to costs to candidates for publication of candidate statements in the sample ballots, and approve a Budget Change of $21,000 from Unappropriated Reserves to the Elections Account.) Shawn Costello asked about filing timelines. Would it require the same procedure as before? On motion of Cm. McCormick, seconded by Cm. Zika, and by unanimous vote, the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 193- 01 CALLING FOR A SPECIAL ELECTION TO BE HELD IN THE CITY OF DUBLIN ON MARCH 5, 2002; REQUESTING THE ALAMEDA COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO CONSOLIDATE THE CITY OF DUBLIN SPECIAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION WITH THE STATEWIDE PRIMARY ELECTION; AND AUTHORIZING CERTAIN PROCEDURAL MATTERS and RESOLUTION NO. 194- 01 ADOPTING REGULATIONS FOR CANDIDATES FOR ELECTIVE OFFICE PERTAINING TO CANDIDATE'S STATEMENT AND THE COSTS THEREOF FOR A SPECIAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION TO BE CONSOLIDATED WITH THE STATEWIDE PRIMARY ELECTION TO BE HELD ON MARCH 5, 2002 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 20 REGULAR MEETING November 6, 2001 PAGE 478 REMOVAL OF EXISTING STREET CLOSURE ON CENTRAL PARKWAY AT THE TASSAJARA CREEK BRIDGE 9:22 p.m. 8.7. (590-40) Public Works Director Lee Thompson presented the Staff Report and advised that this item considers removing the existing street closure on Central Parkway at the Tassajara Creek Bridge and opening this street to traffic between Hibernia Drive and Glynnis Rose Drive to facilitate traffic circulation in the area. For safety reasons, the segment of Central Parkway between Glynnis Rose Drive and Tassajara Road will remain closed to through-traffic until the median island work in this area is complete and the traffic signals at the Central Parkway/Hibernia Drive and Tassajara Road/Central Parkway intersections are installed. Mr. Thompson stated Staff mailed notices to the residents of the three adjacent subdivisions, the two neighboring apartment complexes, and to Dougherty Elementary School. David Torres, Newhaven Street, stated he was not in favor of opening up the bridge because there are a lot of children that live in this area that jaywalk. A lot of people that live in this area do speed. If it is going to be open, a lot of people will use it as a throughway instead of Dublin Boulevard. He stated he sees that it may be necessary for emergency vehicles and as a pedestrian way. We will be addressing this as a city down the road because of safety issues. Carol Gibbons, Hazelwood Street, stated she lives near Central Parkway and they are opposed because this is a very dense neighborhood. Once Central Parkway connects to Tassajara Road, t~affic will be very heavy. We need to protect our children and homes from heavy traffi9 and dirt. Most of the homes are only about 15' off Central Parkway. As a realtor, she knows how hard it is to sell a home on a busy street. The bridge should be for emergenc~ vehicles and pedestrian use only. Further study of the impact is due. / Cm. Oravetz asked if she had an alternative to opening the bridge. Ms. Gibbons stat('d she felt the vision was flawed in putting in such a bridge. This is overkill. Kasie Hildenbran d, Westwood Court, spoke in support of opening the bridge. When they originally moved to the area, they bought a townhome on Central Parkway and they knew that this w~mld eventually become a thoroughfare. She knows that people are CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 20 REGULAR MEETING November 6, 2001 PAGE 479 looking forward to the bridge opening so they can drive to the park. People have difficulty getting in and out of their developments because of construction and blockage. There are some safety concerns. They only have one route in and out of the community. People want to use the neighborhood as it was intended. ROn Krumbach, Hazelwood Street, stated his biggest concern is cars that speed through there and use it like a racetrack. His street runs right into Central Parkway. There will be accidents and if anything can be done it would be to make this a pedestrian bridge rather than an automobile bridge. As a community, look at the impact of this road. Cars do donuts and race on this street all the time. Rich Costa, Belcarra Court, stated he lives in the Toll Bros. development and his daughter goes to Dougherty School and he is opposed to removing the barriers. The main issue is the speed of traffic. Unless there is some control, it is not a good idea to open this up. It only takes 5 minutes to go around. Paul Urrutia, Mahogany Street, stated he saw a motorcycle wreck right next to the school. There is a number of individuals that speed around the school. You hear it periodically through the evening. He was originally looking forward to the bridge opening to get to the Safeway, but maybe more of a study would be prudent. Cm. Zika stated Central Parkway was designed as a through collector street and for emergency access as well as normal access. We can increase police enforcement out there. He stated he wished people would call the police. We need this as a through street. This was the plan all along, even before a single house was built out there. Cm. McCormick asked if there are any plans to slow traffic? Mr. Thompson stated Glynnis Rose Drive and Hibernia Street will have signals. Cm. Zika asked if we could put in a stop sign. Mr. Thompson stated it would be difficult to take it out once it is put in. Stop signs that are not warranted tend to cause people to pick up speed between them and people also tend to run them. Mr. Ambrose stated this street is an arterial rather than a collector. This is an interim situation. Ultimately Central Parkway will be needed to move traffic east and west. Mayor Lockhart stated she felt the issues could be dealt with through education and enforcement. Children should not be allowed to jaywalk and pedestrians need to follow CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 20 REGULAR MEETING November 6, 2001 PAGE 480 laws just as we ask cars to follow laws. We have enforcement tools to get people's attention. If it is the neighbors speeding, it will be up to the neighbors to have some neighborhood meetings to talk about this. There are reasons we have major arterials. Maybe we need to do some outreach to the community and be helpful in finding solutions. She stated she supports opening the first bridge. Following discussion, the Council determined that Staff should arrange a meeting with the community and Police Department to get everybody together to talk about the best way to make this a safe situation. Cm. Oravetz commented he was on the Planning Commission as was Cm. Zika when this was planned. An unidentified audience member asked if there could be additional crosswalks? Mayor Lockhart stated this could be one of the discussion items. On motion of Cm. Oravetz, seconded by Cm. Zika, and by unanimous vote, the Council approved the removal of the existing street closure on Central Parkway at the Tassajara Creek Bridge, opening Central Parkway to traffic between Hibernia Drive and Glynnis Rose Drive, and leaving the segment of Central Parkway closed between Glynnis Rose Drive and Tassajara Road, after meeting with the public to discuss the safety issues. REVIEW OF WESTERN DUBLIN EXTENDED PLANNING AREA OPEN SPACE IMPLEMENTATION REPORT 9:46 p.m. 8.3 (420~20) Community Development Director Eddie Peabody presented the Staff Report and advised that on October 17, 2000 the City Council approved the preparation of an Open Space Implementation Plan for Western Dublin Extended Planning Area. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc., prepared an Implementation Report to provide the City with findings and an action plan to preserve open space in the Western Dublin Extended Planning Area. The Plan was to: identify specific recommendations for the City Council to consider in preserving Open Space in this area; look at options, costs for preserving .and possible funding; and return with a report to be reviewed in two public workshops. Staff proposes to conduct two public workshops on the Implementation Report in December 2001 and January 2002 to obtain public comment. Copies of this Staff Report CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 20 REGULAR MEETING November 6, 2001 PAGE 481 have been mailed to those parties who have participated in earlier discussions about Open Space in the Western Extended Planning Areas. When these workshops are complete, Staff will return to the City Council with recommended specific actions. Staff recommended that the Council comment on the Implementation Report and take no action until after public workshops in December and January. Mr. Walter Kieser, with EPS reviewed and summarized pertinent issues of the report and discussed some of their conclusions. Cm. McCormick stated she was intrigued by the concept of a Dublin Hills Regional Park. Mr. Kieser stated this is open for discussion. The Council thanked him for his presentation. Larry Tong, EBRPD congratulated Mayor Lockhart and stated it was nice to see some improvements which have been made in the last 5 years. He stated he concurred with EBRPD role in working with the City and would be willing to explore a partnership with the City. Morgan King, Creekside Drive, stated he felt the report overall is an excellent job and touches on relevant aspects of the issue. It presents two options; one to outright purchase the eastern portion of the area and option two would purchase but utilize some of the funds coming from housing development in the area. He stated he picked up a tone of some skepticism of residential development being politically sustainable in Dublin. Measure M was discussed. Voters supported this because they wanted to preserve what is left of the area. The concern is with the visible area and most people are unaware that there is another 2,000 acres over the hill. He stated he was also attracted to the phrase, Dublin Hills Regional Park. The 2,000 acres should also be incorporated since it is not geologically feasible for development. The Endangered Species Act does have a bearing on what is going on. Would like to see some relevance to this on the 700 or 800 acres that is the eastern part. He discussed the potential affect of the Center for Biological Diversity lawsuit settlement, which set aside huge numbers of acres for whipsnake habitats. This does cover this area and should be addressed. Margaret Tracy, Livermore, spoke for members of Preserve Area Ridgelands Committee and for nearly 30 years they have been looking at preserving ridgelines through 3 counties. They have somewhat evolved a policy if the public wants access to the land, they there is reason to buy easements and trails. She stated she hopes the County's Measure D and our Measure M is reflected. Keep the lands under private control to keep them on the tax rolls. She mentioned a Palo Alto study in the mid 1970's where the City CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 20 REGULAR MEETING November 6, 2001 PAGE 482 figured out cost for development in the hills was so great that it would be cheaper for the public to buy the lands for open space. She stated she was against allowing dwelling units on any part of this scenic property. David Bewley stated he was one of the coauthors of Measure M, and looks forward to the study sessions. He requested that we include impacts with addendum of Measure M. This impacts the rules and regulations of governing this area. This is well written and points out many avenues and possibilities for the City. The opportunities are there. The cost is considerably less than what this City Hall cost, and he asked the Council to consider which would be more of a gift for citizens in the future. Rich Guarienti, Rhoda Avenue, stated the proposal for Dublin Hills Regional Park is very attractive as he is out in the parks quite a bit. He would like to participate in the workshops and would like to get a copy of the report and read it. There are grants and lots of ways to be able to keep this open space. Mark Breazeal, Southwick Drive, stated he would like to see us get more public workshops on this. He was concerned about endangered species. He would like to look for funding whether it be state or federal. Preserving land should also be looked at. What are the choices and options of working with EBRPD? This is something we shouldn't compromise on. The sooner the better for our citizens to enjoy. Roxanne Nielsen congratulated Mayor Lockhart. Speaking as the family that owns property, they are willing to work with the City and would like to see the hills preserved. She put in a vote for fair compensation and she stated the City Council also believes in this. She also commented she felt that Measure M devalued the land. She looks forward to participating on a committee to provide input. Mayor Lockhart stated all comments will be welcome and these will be public workshops. Mayor Lockhart requested that all Commissioners be provided with a copy of the report. They would then be able to address it through their Commission or through the workshops. Cm. Zika stated he thought it was a good idea to incorporate the Measure M impacts. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME £0 REGULAR MEETING November 6, 2001 PAGE 483 OTHER BUSINESS 10:25 p.m. Mr. Ambrose reminded everyone of the affordable housing field trip on November They will be leaving the Civic Center at 9 a.m. Cm. McCormick reported that she had the pleasure and honor to be part of the Leadership Workshop hosted by the Women's Club of Dublin last Saturday. They talked to a group of sophomores from DHS about decision-making, choices in life and career planning. It was very well done. Cm. Zika stated one of our Associate Planners, Jonelyn Whales is in the National Guard and she was called up to active duty for up to a year. He stated he would like Staff to prepare a report related to paying her the difference in salary. He felt it is appropriate for the City to step up to the plate to subsidize her salary. Mr. Ambrose advised that Staff will prepare an agenda item for the November 20th City Council meeting. Cm. Oravetz reported that he attended a League of California Cities East Bay Division meeting in Orinda. A FG&E representative talked about how they are going to restructure and the more he talked, the more he dug a hole so deep it became comical. Cm. Oravetz stated he has gotten a lot of comments about the Juvenile Hall issue asking what our stance is. He stated the City Council is all against it 100% and he plans to go to the meeting on November 7th and talk to the community. Mayor Lockhart asked about the next East Bay Division meeting scheduled for Thursday, November 15th in Albany. Congresswoman Ellen Tauscher will be the speaker. Mayor Lockhart, Cm. Oravetz and Cm. McCormick indicated they will attend. Mayor Lockhart thanked everyone and stated she is honored to be the Mayor of Dublin and will do her best to represent all residents of Dublin. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 20 REGUIAR MEETING November 6, 2001 PAGE 484 10:$1 p.m. Mayor Lockhart advised everyone that since the Council did not complete the Closed Session prior to 7:00 p.m., they would go back into and continue the Closed Session.
