The Agreement provided that the City may make improvements to School District property provided the improvement is not in conflict with school use and subject to a separate improvement agreement. The Frederiksen School Kindergarten Tot Lot Agreement spells out the specific responsibilities of the City and the District with regard to the .project and covered such areas as description of project, division of project costs and responsibility for project supervision. Ms. Lowart advised that the total estimated costs are $39, 303 . The City will fund $34 , 303 and the remaining $5, 000 will be funded equally by the District and the School Parent Faculty Club. On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Snyder absent) , the Council adopted CM - VOL 9 - 201 Regular Meeting July 9, 1990 RESOLUTION NO. 99 - 90 APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT WITH DUBLIN UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR FREDERIRSEN SCHOOL KINDERGARTEN TOT LOT * * * * CIVIC EDUCATION PROGRAM Assistant to the City Manager Texeira advised that included in the 1990 Goals & Objectives Program was the development of a Student Government Day or comparable civic education program. Staff has worked with representatives of the Dublin School District and staff members of Dublin High School to develop a program. Ms. Texeira explained that several ideas were discussed to augment Dublin High's current civic education program. These included: resurrecting the Dublin High Civics Term Project; developing a City Resource Guide to be used by teachers and/or students; promoting the Dublin Police Ride-Along Program; participating in the 1990 Soviet Exchange Student Program; and developing additional civic education activities (i.e. , conducting regular tours of the Dublin Civic Center, developing case studies to be used by students, etc. ) . Cm. Vonheeder questioned if Staff envisioned the term project as being a 2 or 3 week project or more long term. Ms. Texeira stated that it was originally suggested that it be an individual term project and City Staff suggested a group project in order to allow the students to work as a team. This seems to be the direction it will be headed. Cm. Jeffery thought that with regard to the term project, it might be a good idea to pick out a particular City project and assign the kids to a Commission or Council so they would carry the project all the way through, and would then get a feel for how these things work together. Most kids do not have an understanding of how a park gets put in, or a housing development, etc. It's very important that they understand why it is important for them to vote. This would be a way to teach them that it really does matter and each vote counts. Cm. Jeffery felt that with regard to the Soviet Student Exchange Program, we should delete the word "Soviet" so as to not limit ourselves. There will be other opportunities for exchange with other countries. Cm. Hegarty felt that it would be good for the students and beneficial for the people of Dublin to have young people on Community TV talking about Dublin and its government. Valley Forum would be a good program for this type of thing. The City puts money into Community TV, so we should be able to get some good publicity for our students. CM - VOL 9 - 202 Regular Meeting July 9, 1990 Cm. Hegarty stated he had always been very impressed with Dublin High School. Students that come out of DHS go on to some of the most impressive schools in the United States. They are the future. Cm. Jeffery stated that Dublin and San Ramon students could debate the growth issues in the Valley. Mayor Moffatt felt this was a great idea and a good way to involve high school students in their City government. On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Snyder absent) , the Council directed Staff to work with representatives of the School District and Dublin High School to develop a City Resource Guide, to promote the Police Ride-Along Program, to welcome the Soviet Exchange Students in August, and to continue to pursue additional civic education opportunities. * * * * OTHER BUSINESS Community Gift Catalog Mr. Ambrose passed out finished copies of the Community Gift Catalog to the City Council. Cm. Jeffery questioned how these would be distributed. Mr. Ambrose advised that they will be given to service groups, and copies will be available at the Civic Center, the Library, the Chamber of Commerce, the Senior Center, Shannon Community Center, and local community groups. Cm. Vonheeder suggested they also be given to local corporations. * * * * State Budget Cm. Vonheeder advised that the East Bay Division of the League of CA Cities is trying to inform cities of legislation affecting cities. It appears that we are looking at a reduction in the in-lieu fees. Roberta Cooper of Hayward has requested that all cities let the state know that we don't appreciate them dipping into our pockets. Cm. Hegarty felt it was the Governor who had control. Cm. Jeffery advised that the Governor only has power over 8% of California's budget. The rest is controlled by the Legislature. Staff was directed to write a letter. * * * * CM - VOL 9 - 203 Regular Meeting July 9, 1990 ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned at 8 : 10 p.m. * * * * Mayor ATTEST: City Clerk CM - VOL 9 - 204 Regular Meeting July 9, 1990
