PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Mayor Snyder announced that the City was beginning a new program of inviting Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts to lead the flag salute. Eagle Scout Richard Freeman, from Troop 905 led the Council, Staff and those present in the pledge of allegiance to the flag (610-20) . Mr. Freeman stated that he first joined the Scouts about 4 years ago and set himself a goal to make Eagle Scout before entering high school. He achieved his goal. After making Eagle Scout, they have what is called Eagle Palms to earn more merit badges. He stated it is a lot of fun being a Boy Scout. PRESENTATION OF SEPTEMBER CUSTOMER SERVICE AWARD (150-90) City Manager Ambrose presented the third Customer Service Award to Cece Farias, Building Secretary. This award is given based on the various accomplishments of the candidates nominated who have been a positive influence and force in the City. CONSENT CALENDAR On motion of Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. Jeffery, and by unanimous vote, the Council took the following actions: Approved Minutes of Regular Meeting of August 12, 1991; Received the Recreation Spring Quarter 1991 Report (950-30) ; Adopted RESOLUTION NO. 82 - 91 AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO AWARD CONTRACT 91-04 (SHANNON CENTER EXTERIOR PAINTING) TO THE LOWEST RESPONSIBLE BIDDER (600-30) CM - VOL 10 - 307 Regular Meeting August 26, 1991 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- f COPIES TO: T�1G`T,4 1ATn Received the Finance Report for Period Ending July 31, 1991 (330-50) ; Authorized Staff to advertise Contract 91-06, Annual Striping and Marking Contract for bids (600-30) ; Authorized the City Manager to execute an agreement with Arlene Willits, Management Consultant for customer service training (600-30) ; Adopted RESOLUTION NO. 83 - 91 APPROVING AGREEMENT WITH BERLOGAR GEOTECHNICAL CONSULTANTS FOR GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION OF DUBLIN BOULEVARD BETWEEN HANSEN DRIVE AND SILVERGATE DRIVE (600-30) Approved Warrant Register in the amount of $1, 116, 297 . 00 (300-40) . Cm. Moffatt requested that the item related to repealing SB 2557 be pulled from the Consent Calendar for discussion. He felt that if we complain and request a repeal, we should substitute an example of what we feel would be meaningful reform. He suggested using the example of a $ .50 tax on cigarettes or cigarette machines. He felt we should come up with something concrete. Cm. Jeffery advised that some of this has already taken place. An example was the extension of automobile registration which the legislators took and did not repeal. Some of the other things were set in motion with the thought that SB 2557 would be repealed. The sentiment is that we just need to push. Mayor Snyder stated he is a member of the ABAG Fiscal Interdependency and Reform Committee and would extend Cm. Moffatt's thoughts. As a first effort in the State of California, they have attempted to get cities in the whole state to apply pressure to the legislators. On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Moffatt, and by unanimous vote, the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 84 - 91 URGING THE STATE LEGISLATURE AND GOVERNOR WILSON TO TOTALLY REPEAL SB 2557 AND ENACT LOCAL GOVERNMENT FISCAL REFORM (660-40) Cm. Jeffery requested that the Lions Club Handicap Playground project at Kolb Park be pulled from the Consent Calendar for discussion. Cm. Jeffery stated she was very impressed by what the Lions group has done in working with the business community, with grants, and with the various groups that donated items and services. There were all kinds of people involved. Something very positive came out of this. n*A*A*A*n*A*w*A*A*n*A*A*A*w*A*A*w*A*A*A*A*^*A*^*A*A*A*A*A*^*A*A*A*A*^* CM - VOL 10 - 308 Regular Meeting August 26, 1991 Mayor Snyder stated he was sorry that Bob Trimble was not present. He came up with the idea and did 99% of the work to see that this was accomplished. There were a lot of hard workers on this project. Public Works Director Thompson stated the workers that were there did • tremendous job. The City should send them a bidders list. They did • very professional job and he certainly appreciated it on behalf of the City. On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Burton, and by unanimous vote, the Council accepted the gift of improvements related to the Lions Club Handicap Playground project at Kolb Park for City maintenance; directed Staff to notify the Lions Club of final accept- ance in accordance with Section 3 of the Agreement; directed Staff to purchase plaques for formal acknowledgement in accordance with the Gift Catalog policy; and authorized an additional appropriation of $2 , 026.52 from the Contingent Reserve to this Capital Improvement Project (600-30) ; Cm. Moffatt stated that he and Cm. Burton were on the committee to select a new Tenant Commissioner for the Housing Authority. They had 5 candidates and he was happy to say that they came to the conclusion and it was with great pleasure that he introduced Christopher Estes. Cm. Burton stated the other 4 people should also be recognized. It was not an easy choice. He was looking forward to Christopher Estes getting more involved in the City. Cm. Moffatt advised that Peggy Taylor had submitted a letter to continue on the Board and he felt this was a good choice. On motion of Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. Burton, and by unanimous vote, the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 85 - 91 APPOINTING TENANT COMMISSIONERS PEGGY TAYLOR AND CHRISTOPHER ESTES TO THE DUBLIN HOUSING AUTHORITY FOR A TERM OF JUNE 1, 1991 THROUGH MAY 31, 1993 (110-30) Shannon Park (920-60) Mayor Snyder stated he wished to deviate from the agenda in order to read a short letter he had just received from Shelley Kahn. "Shannon park looks very good. Maybe the people on the other side of Dublin don't know about the park. We should thank the people who made the park by playing on the playset and on the grass. It's a terrific place to play. There will be a party at the park September 21st. People should come. Your friend sencirely, Shelly Kahn" A*A*A*A*.A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A* *A*A* CM - VOL 1 0 - 3 0 9 Regular Meeting August 26, 1991 VIACOM CABLEVISION-ALAMEDA COUNTY ASSESSMENT OF PROPERTY TAX (1050-20) Assistant City Manager Rankin presented the Staff Report and advised that in 1987 , Viacom was acquired by another firm, which resulted in a change of ownership under property tax laws in the State of California. The County Assessor has recently determined the new assessment for Viacom's holdings and the impact on the local franchise is that the assessed value upon which Viacom's possessory interest tax is calculated will be $65. 6 million, compared to the 1987 assessed value of $1. 2 million. This amounts to a 5, 003% increase. Mr. Rankin advised that the Staff Report stated that Viacom representatives have indicated that they anticipate a $1. 50 per month rate increase as a result of this action, and this amount is independent of any additional general rate increase. Mr. Rankin advised that a letter had just been received which indicated they intend to modify this amount to $1.48 . Viacom has indicated that they intend to pay the tax as required, and then pursue legal and administrative appeals. They have requested that the City request that Alameda County repeal the excessive assessment and select from the methodologies identified in the State Board of Equalization Handbook as it relates to cable television. Mr. Rankin reminded everyone that the City does not have any authority to regulate cable television rates. Cm. Moffatt questioned the $1.50 figure versus what he had read to be $4 . 50. Mr. Rankin clarified that Viacom intends to absorb the difference. Cm. Moffatt indicated that the Assessor's Office went back to 1987 , and questioned why this wasn't done in 1987 . Mr. Rankin advised that he was not sure, but a letter indicates the Assessor has up to 4 years to assess the property. Myrt Jones, Viacom General Manager verified that the Assessor does have 4 years to reassess. They were notified on July 1st that there would be an increase. It was a very long and complicated process. They were working with 9 other counties. Cm. Burton questioned if the assessed value takes into consideration the other 3 or 4 users who share the easements. Ms. Jones indicated that it is not calculated in that way, but rather it is different than the way homes are assessed. It is the methodology with which they calculated the possessory tax that they are questioning. Viacom is in a very unique situation. Cm. Burton felt they had obviously discussed this with their legal department and will fight it. He questioned what they felt their A*A*n*A*A*A*A*�*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*^*A*^*^*^*A*^*^*^* CM - VOL 10 - 310 Regular Meeting August 26, 1991 prospects were. Price Waterhouse made an evaluation. If they win, he questioned how they will pay back the people. Ms. Jones advised that they have a long laborious process in front of them. The situation is mind-boggling. As far as refunds, it is really too early to figure out how that process will evolve. Cm. Burton stated there is a very strong feeling out in the community about the rising costs of cable television. A lot of people feel there has to be some alternatives. Viacom should take into consideration those people who don't use that much TV. There is a real concern in the community. Cm. Jeffery reminded everyone that the action before the Council was just to look at what might be an unfair way of assessing Viacom. On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Burton, and by unanimous vote, the Council directed Staff to send the drafted letter to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors. PUBLIC HEARING-GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT, REZONE AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST BY DOUGHERTY REGIONAL FIRE AUTHORITY (450-30) Mayor Snyder opened the public hearing. Associate Planner Choy advised that on February 19, 1991, the Planning Commission found the proposed DRFA Fire Station #1 to be in conformity as to location, purpose and extent with the Retail/Office land use designation of the Dublin General Plan. On June 10, 1991, the Council initiated a General Plan Amendment Study and a Rezone Study for the existing DRFA Fire Station #1 site at 7494 Donohue Drive. On August 5, 1991, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council adopt the DRFA General Plan Amendment, approve the DRFA rezone request, and approve the DRFA Conditional Use Permit request. Mr. Choy advised that approval was given in August to Whitney Investment Company Site Development Review application for construction of 2 new buildings, totalling 4,801 square feet, on a 42 , 791 square foot portion of the existing 56, 478 square foot site, located at 7601-7603 Amador Valley Boulevard. The approved development plan will result in a 13 , 687 square foot portion of the parcel remaining undeveloped. This vacant portion of the site is being acquired by DRFA. A lot line adjustment is being processed to add this to the existing 15, 000 square foot DRFA Fire Station #1 parcel located at 7494 Donohue Drive. The Applicant is requesting approval to: 1) amend the General Plan to designate the land use of the existing DRFA Fire Station #1 site at 7494 Donohue Drive from Public/Semi-Public Facility to Retail/Office; 2) rezone the combined parcels at 7494 Donohue Drive (from R-S-D-20, Suburban Residential Combining District to C-1, Retail Business District) and 7601 Amador Valley Boulevard (portion) (from PD, Planned A*A*A*A*,A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*I*A*A* CM - VOL 10 - 311 if if if if ii i{ if i. ii ii li Regular Meeting August 26, 1991 Development to C-1, Retail Business District) ; and 3) a Conditional Use Permit to allow the establishment of a community facility, a fire station, on the combined parcels within the C-1 District. Mr. Choy advised that Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed General Plan Amendment. The proposed rezone will be consistent with the General Plan, as required by State Law. Because State Law requires 2 public hearings for an Ordinance change, Staff recommended that the Ordinance be introduced and continued to the City Council meeting of September 9th for the second reading and adoption. Staff and the Planning Commission also recommended approval of the proposed Conditional Use Permit. The proposed DRFA Fire Station #1 will be built primarily on the southern portion of the combined parcels. The existing station must remain operational until the new station is completed. The existing station will then be demolished to provide parking and landscaping for the new station. Cm. Burton questioned if it had been established that this would be the permanent place for the fire station when the east extension is opened and/or San Ramon sets up their own fire department. Mr. Ambrose advised that the Fire Authority had undertaken a fire station location study based on 2 scenarios. The first scenario would be if the existing arrangement remains and the other was if the 2 cities split apart. In either case, this station needs to be in the same general area. A limiting factor is the unavailability in the area of a vacant piece of ground. This particular piece of property has a little less of an economic value to the City, than to use property in the super block. Growth will require a new station to be built in the expansion area, but this particular station would not change. Geographical coverage is one of the factors to be considered. Cm. Moffatt questioned the policy with CUP's in that sometimes a time limit is attached and sometimes not. He asked how this determination was made. Mr. Ambrose advised that this was in accordance with Council policy during the Management Audit. Staff recommended that expiration dates be eliminated and the Council adopted this policy. If conditions are broken, then the City can go in and review the CUP. The City no longer attaches expiration dates. Mayor Snyder closed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Burton, and by unanimous vote, the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 86 - 91 ADOPTING PA 91-042 DOUGHERTY REGIONAL FIRE AUTHORITY GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A* CM - VOL 10 - 312 Regular Meeting August 26, 1991 and RESOLUTION NO. 87 - 91 APPROVING PA 91-042 DOUGHERTY REGIONAL FIRE AUTHORITY CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AT 7494 DONOHUE DRIVE AND 7601 AMADOR VALLEY BOULEVARD (PORTION) and waived the reading and introduced an Ordinance to rezone property at 7494 Donohue Drive and 7601 Amador Valley Boulevard (portion) to the C-1 District. PUBLIC HEARING AMENDMENTS TO BUSINESS REGISTRATION ORDINANCE (390-40) Mayor Snyder opened the public hearing. Finance Director Molina advised that an Ordinance was introduced at the August 12th City Council meeting which amends certain sections of the Business Registration Ordinance which was adopted in October, 1990. The amendments would basically ease administration, lower certain fees in accordance with the cost of performing certain functions, and bring the Ordinance into conformance with recent changes in the law. No public comments were made relative to this issue. Mayor Snyder closed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. Burton, and by unanimous vote, the Council waived the reading and adopted ORDINANCE NO. 12 - 91 AMENDING THE BUSINESS REGISTRATION ORDINANCE REVIEW OF SOURCE REDUCTION AND RECYCLING (SRR) ELEMENT (810-60) Assistant City Manager Rankin advised that the Consultant who was to have been at the meeting slipped a disc and would be unable to attend. He presented the Staff Report and advised that as required by AB 939, the City must reduce the amount of garbage placed in the landfill by 25% by 1995, and by 50% by the year 2000. The City is involved in a joint study coordinated by the Alameda County Waste Management Authority to develop a Source Reduction and Recycling Element, as required by this State Law. Mr. Rankin discussed the 8 areas which will be covered by the SRRE. The State has adopted a very specific format for analyzing and presenting the information in the SRRE. In addition, the document completed by each agency will be consolidated into a Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan. Through joint cooperation in the A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A* CM - VOL 10 - 313 Regular Meeting August 26, 1991 Alameda County project, the City is given the opportunity to develop a plan which uniquely reflects this community and is compatible with other agencies. The ACWMA is paying for the cost of the plan through tipping fees levied on garbage disposed of at the landfill. Mr. Rankin indicated that based on studies conducted in 1990, the City of Dublin is diverting 24 . 4% of all waste generated from the landfill. We must reach 25% by 1995. The City must be able to fully document how it arrives at its stated diversion rate. Mr. Rankin advised that a major component of the current diversion rates is an allocation for recycling of asphalt and concrete. If the law excludes these items in the future, the City will need to identify methods of increasing other recycling in other areas to reach the statewide mandates. Mr. Rankin discussed the primary activities described in the Prelim- inary Draft SRRE, as well as the long term efforts. Funding was discussed and Mr. Rankin advised that given that this is a Countywide study, certain assumptions may not accurately reflect the City of Dublin. Staff will work with the Consultant prior to the public hearing to further refine the cost estimates as they specifically relate to the City of Dublin. It is anticipated that the majority of the funding for programs which are purely local in nature will need to come from the rate payers. Mr. Rankin stated it was important to note that the passage of the State Law requiring this planning did not provide for funding to local agencies for implementation. The City will be required to conduct a public hearing on the Preliminary Draft SRRE and Staff recommended that this hearing be scheduled for the October 10th Council meeting (rescheduled from October 14th) . Following this hearing, the Consultant will then prepare a Final Draft which must be circulated for review to the Local Task Force 45 days prior to the public hearing to adopt the Final Plan. The City is required to have the Final Plan adopted by January 1, 1992 . Cm. Moffatt asked if commercial disposal of recycled materials is counted in our amount, i.e. , if he brings his waste oil down to the service station, is this counted in somehow. Mr. Rankin responded that with regard to waste oil, he didn't think this counts for diversion, because it's not supposed to be going to the dump in the first place. Cm. Moffatt asked about concrete and asphalt. Mr. Rankin indicated that they have taken reports from the state and attempted to calculate that back to the local jurisdictions, as best they can. CM - VOL 10 - 314 Regular Meeting August 26, 1991 Cm. Burton asked Staff what they thought the percentage increase would be when we get into multi-family recycling. Mr. Rankin stated he thought it would be very little, . maybe an additional 1%. Cm. Burton indicated that in the recycling component, we don't have anything that shows an incentive for people to recycle. If they do, he asked if this would go towards our percentage. Mr. Rankin advised that the only way we can get a credit is if we can quantify it and show it. Costs of disposal is becoming more expensive. Cm. Burton felt we should look at ways of reducing the source. Cm. Jeffery stated we are looking at penalizing high end users. Cm. Burton stated he felt we should look at it from a more positive incentive. If someone could do something with the waste such as making another product, this would be advantageous. Cm. Burton questioned page 8 of the report that indicates that waste from Dublin is taken to Vasco Road. He felt we should mention that we take it over to the Pleasanton Transfer Station. Mr. Rankin stated that in that section, they are analyzing the disposal facility. Cm. Burton stated he was interested in the County starting disposal stations for hazardous waste and thought this was an excellent thing. Eliot Healy, a Betlen Drive resident stated that from a user standpoint of the curbside service, they were aggravated recently because of some plastics that aren't picked up. They have the little triangle mark on them, but they are rejected. He felt that one of the areas where we could help reduce would be to find somewhere where this could be used. The only thing they took was one of the plastic soda bottles. Mr. Rankin advised that our current program only takes those marked with a #1 PET. There is not a market for the other containers that are cost effective to take the material. The main change will need to come from the manufacturers. More recyclable materials are coming out such as salad dressing bottles. Plastics only accounted for 4%. Mr. Healy stated he was just concerned that he is being charged for the service and the County tried to add their charge also. Mayor Snyder stated there is a company in San Leandro that is trying to expand on what is being taken so this might be a solution. A*A*A*A*A*A*A*�*A*A*A*A*�*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A* CM - VOL 10 - 315 Regular Meeting August 26, 1991 Mr. Healy stated he also thought the City might consider a place out in East Dublin where residents could have a place to dump because the prices are so high in Pleasanton. Cm. Burton stated he noted in the report that 199 tons of diapers are disposed of in Dublin each year. On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Moffatt, and by unanimous vote, the Council established a public hearing date of October 10, 1991 for public input on the Preliminary Source Reduction and Recycling Element and authorized the release of the Draft for public comment. Cm. Burton stated he felt we should think of an incentive for people who do positive things with recycling. Mayor Snyder stated the whole program is set up, "either you recycle or you pay" . There is an economic incentive for manufacturers to use a by-product in their plant. Mr. Rankin advised that the largest recyclers we have are the retailers who separate their corrugated cardboard. OTHER BUSINESS West Dublin Joint Study Session (420-30) Planning Director Tong requested that the Council check their calendars to determine if September 11, 1991, at 7 : 30 p.m. , would work to schedule a joint City Council and Planning Commission Study Session related to West Dublin. The Council concurred with this date. The meeting will be held in the Regional Meeting Room. Meeting Scheduled with Historical Groups (910-40) Cm. Moffatt advised that he and Cm. Burton had established a meeting on September 4th to get together with all those people interested in the historical aspects of Dublin. n*n*A*A*A*A*A*n*A*A*A*A*A*�*n*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*^*A*A*A*A*A*A*�*�*A* CM - VOL 10 - 316 Regular Meeting August 26, 1991 Name of East and West Dublin Studies (610-20) Cm. Burton stated the Council keeps getting materials and comments about East and West Dublin. He felt there will be connotations to this later on, and stated he would rather see them called eastern and western, which doesn't denote a separation. He stated he hoped the Council would agree to this concept, and direct that Staff start referring to the areas as eastern and western. Cm. Jeffery questioned if most of the printed material was set up and whether Staff would have to go back and change all this. Mr. Tong advised that there were some graphs and charts, etc. Mayor Snyder stated he did not see any problem with the way it has been done in the past. It has gone on for so many years, it is a natural affinity and would be difficult to change the mindset of everyone involved. Cm. Moffatt stated he hates to see a distinction made between east and existing and west. Using small letters would be a place to start. Cm. Burton stated we are separated by Camp Parks and feels there will be difficulty in the future if we don't change it now. Cm. Howard stated it didn't bother her to use small letters and she would go along with it. Cm. Jeffery felt Cm. Burton's point was well taken and indicated she did not want to make any formal pronouncement, but the areas could be referred to as eastern and western in the future. Cm. Burton clarified that he wanted to give Staff direction. It would not be necessary to go back and change documents, but in the future, just refer to the areas as eastern and western. Mr. Ambrose stated he recognized this as a sensitive issue, but there are documents already produced. It would be difficult to go back and change every single reference. By a Council consensus, wherever possible, Staff should refer to the areas as eastern and western in the future. CLOSED SESSION At 8 : 50 p.m. , the Council recessed to a closed executive session to discuss: 1) Pending Litigation, City of Dublin vs. Alameda County (Measure D) , in accordance with Government Code Section 54956. 9 (a) (640-30) ; and 2) Potential Litigation in accordance with Government Code Section 54956.9 (c) (640-30) .

The meeting was called to order at 8 : 00 a.m. , by Mayor Snyder. ROLL CALL PRESENT: Councilmembers Burton, Howard, Jeffery, Moffatt and Mayor Snyder. ABSENT: None. AWARD OF BID - CONTRACT 91-04 SHANNON CENTER EXTERIOR PAINTING (600-30) Public Works Director Thompson advised that in order to complete the painting of the Shannon Center in time for the dedication event scheduled for September 21, 1991, the City Council authorized Staff to award the bid for Shannon Center Exterior Painting to the low bidder, provided that the low bid received was within funds budgeted for the project. Only one bid was received, and that bid was $3 , 300 over budget. In addition to the budget overage, Staff recommended a $1, 200 contingency be authorized in the event that additional work is required once the project commences. Approximately $2, 500 is available from the Shannon Center Kitchen Floor project, and the balance of $2 , 000 would come from the Contingent Reserve. Mr. Thompson advised that Staff contacted some of the planholders who did not bid to determine the reasons why which included too short a time to complete the work and not wanting to deal with the prevailing wage requirement. References were checked for the only bidder, D. C. Vient, and those contacted stated that work performed was timely and of excellent quality. Cm. Burton questioned if the $1, 200 figure for the contingency would be enough. Mr. Thompson stated they might find some extra dry rot, but Staff took a good look and feels comfortable with this figure. On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Howard, and by unanimous vote, the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 88 - 91 AWARDING CONTRACT 91-04 SHANNON CENTER EXTERIOR PAINTING TO D. C. VIENT, INC. ($21,800) CM - VOL 10 - 319 Special Meeting September 4, 1991 authorized the Mayor to execute the agreement; and authorized a budget transfer of $2 , 500 from the Shannon Center Floor project and $2, 000 from the Contingent Reserve to this project. Bay Vision 2020 Meeting (420-50) City Manager Ambrose questioned if the Council had received the notice of the Bay Vision 2020 meetings. They will be holding 6 forums throughout ABAG's area. This will be an opportunity to publicly comment and give testimony on the Bay Vision 2020 Plan. On Wednesday, September 25th, there will be a meeting at the Oakland Metro Center, and on Thursday, September 19th, in Walnut Creek. Mr. Ambrose stated he would distribute copies of the invitation. Mayor Snyder stated the September 25th meeting was supposed to be at the Dublin Civic Center, but they opted to change it to downtown Oakland. Cm. Jeffery suggested that Dublin's comments be sent again. Mayor Snyder indicated that it is the same group. Someone called him from ABAG and advised that they were upset about Dublin's comments. He advised them that they should just be open about what is going on. Mr. Ambrose stated it would seem that there should be some mechanism whereby they send their program back to all the cities to vote on it. It's felt that they would lose, so they are trying to force it through this type of exposure. Cm. Jeffery requested that the City Council get copies of the points sent to ABAG again. Cm. Moffatt asked if Dublin is the only City making comments. Mayor Snyder responded yes, to a great extent. Tri-Valley Joint City Councils Meeting (140-80) Cm. Burton stated he will be out of town for the September 23rd City Council meeting and will also miss the Tri-Valley Joint City Councils meeting scheduled for September 26th. Mayor Snyder stated he thought that Mayor Mercer will be asking that this meeting be rescheduled because of all the things going on. CM - VOL 10 - 320 special Meeting September 4, 1991 City Boundary Modifications (620-30) Cm. Jeffery advised that the recent article about the burning of the old Santa Rita jail in the Fire Service magazine refers to the area as being in Pleasanton. The magazine is published by the Castro Valley Fire Protection District, and someone should notify them of the inaccurate information, as this is a two-part article. Cm. Burton stated he had also noticed in other literature that the Federal Correctional Institute is listed as being in Pleasanton. Since Cm. Moffatt is our liaison person, he should get this corrected to reflect that it is actually in Dublin.
