CITY SONG CONTEST (120-50)
City Clerk Kay Keck advised that as a result of publicity regarding
the city Song contest, 8 people had contacted her and expressed a
desire to compete in writing the City's first official song. Most of
the people who entered the contest either live or work in the city of
Dublin. The contestants include: Steve Stewart, Pam Hanna, Joe
Mason, Curt Ingram, Claudia McCormick, Heidi June Brown, Chuck Morrish
and Tim Sandoli. In addition, Dan Downey expressed a desire to
participate, but he was unaware of the deadline rules. Curt Ingram
called to withdraw from the contest, and neither Heidi June Brown nor
Joe Mason were present.
Ms. Keck explained that City Councilmembers would individually rank
each song on a 1 to 10 basis. Following all performances, the
rankings would be entered, tallied and displayed for everyone to see.
The song receiving the highest total number of points will be declared
the winner. The winning songwriter will then have the next 3 weeks in
which to perfect and fine tune their song, in order that it can be
performed before the community as part of the festivities following
the st. Patrick's Day parade to be held on Saturday, March 13, 1993.
Activities and entertainment events will be held at the Shamrock
village Shopping Center on Amador Valley Boulevard @ San Ramon Road.
The Council agreed to allow Mr. Downey to participate.
Ms. Keck advised that the order in which the songs were to be
performed would be selected at random, and names were then drawn.
Song Number 1 "Dublin City Song" was created by Claudia McCormick and
John Fullard.
Song Number 2 "The City of Dublin Indeed" was created by Pam Hanna.
Song Number 3 was created by Tim Sandoli.
Song Number 4 "Dublin Pride" was created by Dan Downey.

Song Number 6 "Dublin Town" written and performed by Steve King
Stewart was declared the winner and will thus become the City's
official song.
Mr. Stewart expressed his pleasure and stated he had put a lot of hard
work into the song. He then gave an encore performance.
Mayor Snyder requested that Staff prepare a resolution or whatever the
appropriate mechanism, in order for the Council to officially adopt
the song and bring it back for Council adoption at the next regular
City Council meeting.
The Council asked if the music could be made available to the Dublin
school bands as it would make a nice marching song.
Mayor Snyder stated he was very pleased with the enthusiasm over the
City song contest, and happy to see what had come out of a chance
encounter and conversation at an airport.

ones served by the LAVTA paratransit program. LAVTA has been waiting
to send this amendment until the city council determined that it was
not going to withhold payment for 1992-93.
On motion of Cm. Houston, seconded by Cm. Burton, and by unanimous
vote, the Council approved an amendment to the agreement with LAVTA

A-Ride services to meet the requirements of the Americans with
Disabilities Act (600-40).

PUBLIe HEARING
IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW MULTI-FAMILY REeyeLING PROGRAM (810-60)
Mayor Snyder opened the public hearing.
Management Assistant Barker presented the Staff Report and advised
that the City's Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE)
identifies residential recycling as a means to reduce waste going into
the landfills. MUlti-family recycling is the second phase in the
City's efforts to meet the State-mandated goals of AB 939.
The City presently has 17 mUlti-family projects with approximately
2,400 units. An amended rate schedule would include a new rate of
$1.26 per unit per month for multi~family recycling. Program I would
cost $1.56 per unit per month and Program II would utilize $20,000 of
Measure D funds and would therefore cost $1.26 per unit per month.
Residents of the 17 multi-family project complexes will be provided
with a portable recycling bin. Tenants will be able to deposit their
newspapers, glass bottles, jars, PET plastics, and aluminum cans into
their individual container in the convenience of their unit. Two 96
gallon containers will be placed next to the mUlti-family units
central garbage bin areas.
The recycling program and the rate adjustment are scheduled to begin
on May 1, 1993.
Dan Borges, General Manager of LDD gave statistics on Dublin's
collected recycled materials. He displayed containers that will be
given to each apartment, as well as the large containers which will be
placed in close proximity to the rubbish bins.
Mayor Snyder questioned why they mix the 4 different recyclable items
for multi-family and not for the curbside program.
Mr. Borges stated in the mUlti-family complexes, basically there is
not room to put 4 containers.
Cm. Burton questioned if someone moves out and takes the container
with them, will the next occupants get a new container?
Mr. Borges stated there will be

Cm. Moffatt asked hypothetically, if the material that is being
recycled is sold for an amount over and above the cost of the service,
does the company plan to make an adjustment.
Mr. Borges stated he did not foresee this in the future. Because of
AB 939, a lot of cities will be coming on line. Dublin did it before
it was mandatory. As a result, all of the commodities have gone down
in price.
Mr. Rankin reminded that the direction that the city council gave was
that the Council had a desire to have the company assume all the risk.
This is why it is not set up as a franchise operation. If they make a
profit, okay, but if they don't, they can't come back to the
ratepayers.
No comments were made by members of the public relative to this issue.
Mayor Snyder closed the public hearing.
On motion of Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Moffatt, and by unanimous
vote, the Council adopted

1993-94 eOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOeK GRANT (eDBG) PROGRAM (480-30)
Planning Director Tong advised that the total allocation to the city
of Dublin from FY 1993-94 CDBG Program is $56,049. Staff proposes to
submit an application for Housing Rehabilitation for $10,820, Dublin
Swim Center improvements for $38,629 and General Administration for
$6,600.
Mr. Tong advised that applications must be submitted to the County HCD
by February 26, 1993.
Cm. Burton asked how many disabled people use the swim center.
Mr. Tong stated he did not have that information.
Mr. Ambrose stated Ms. Lowart would have this information. At one
time, we had the only handicap swim program in the Valley. We
suggested that this be rotated among all the pools in the area.

Cm. Burton questioned how much of the $86,000 will be used to make it
handicap accessible as opposed to the renovation we would do anyway.
He thought it might pay us to just hire taxicabs.
Mr. Rankin advised that the restrooms and bath house are currently not
accessible to the handicapped.
Cm. Burton asked how the housing rehabilitation money was used last
year.
Mr. Tong stated it was primarily through minor home repair grants. We
had between 3 and 6 people that qualified last year. It was adminis-
tered through the Alameda County HCD Staff.
On motion of Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Howard, and by unanimous
vote, the Council directed Staff to submit applications for $56,049 in
CDBG funding for FY 1993-94 and for an advance of $7,891 in CDBG
funding for FY 1994-95.

AMERIeANS WITH DISABILITIES AeT REPORT (740-60)
Management Assistant Barker presented the Staff Report and advised
that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Law extends federal
civil rights protection in several areas to people who are Qualified
Individuals with Disabilities (QID's). The Act prohibits discrimina-
tion in the areas of employment, public services, transportation and
telecommunications. Total compliance costs are unknown at this time,
however, costs to modify the Dublin Swim Center to meet ADA
requirements are estimated at $86,350.
Mr. Barker discussed the specific terms used throughout the ADA
regulations. Title I prohibits discrimination by employers, including
cities, against QID's in all aspects of employment, including hiring,
advancement and discharge of employees and benefits. Under Title I,
the city of Dublin is required to make reasonable accommodations with
regard to the known disability of a qualified applicant. section
1630.2(p) of the Act discusses accommodations that may impose an undue
hardship on the operation of the employer's business.
Mr. Barker explained that the processes are being designed to deal
with the eventuality of a QID requesting an accommodation. The Board,
using the Accommodation Review Process, will determine if an
individual is an actual QID and then recommend appropriate
accommodations. These actions set the framework for complying with
Title I.
Mr. Barker discussed Title II which deals with access to services and
facilities. The City is required to give priority to those methods
that offer services, programs and activities to QID's in the most
integrated setting possible.
As a requirement of the Act, the City must develop a Transition Plan
which must cover structural modifications to achieve program

accessibility. Actual physical barriers to City facilities are the
main focus of the transition plan. Staff prepared a draft transition
plan which focuses on City buildings and barriers to access services
within those buildings.
Mr. Barker stated the ADA requires the City to advertise that we are
following the ADA provisions. The ADA also requires that the City
furnish appropriate auxiliary aides and services where necessary to
afford an individual with a disability an equal opportunity to
participate in and enjoy the benefits of a service, program or
activity conducted by a public entity. Where a public entity
communicates by telephone with applicants and beneficiaries, TDD's or
equally effective telecommunication systems shall be used to
communicate with individuals with impaired hearing or speech. Relay
systems are considered to be an effective method of communication with
the hearing impaired and thus, TDD's are not required at this time.
At least one public pay phone at each facility will need to have a
volume control installed on the unit, and this activity is currently
being coordinated with Pacific Bell.
Mr. Barker advised that the next step will be for Staff to compile a
comprehensive evaluation of services, programs and other access issues
for all City facilities in a document called the "Self Evaluation",
which will address accessibility issues in terms of parks, recreation
programs and other City services not included in the Transition Plan.
Cm. Burton asked if the pool could be given back to the school.
Cm. Houston questioned the use of the term "undue hardship".
Mr. Barker explained that there is no history to rely on and all the
information he has obtained says there is just nothing to go by. It
is felt that we should just do our best to make the accommodations.
City Attorney Silver stated the law is really so new we don't have
anything to go on other than what the law says. Dublin is fortunate
that there are very few accommodations that have to be made to City
facilities. The size of the City's annual budget and costs of repairs
in combination possibly would be considered.
Cm. Houston questioned if we have to go the most expensive way to
solve our problems. He visited West Point last year, and they solved
this by putting in a wooden ramp.
Mr. Barker explained that a QID can go to the City to request
accommodation. We can compromise by looking at what they are
requesting by changing the location of the service, changing the
makeup of the program, etc. There are a number of things we can do.
There is latitude to come to a compromise.
Mayor Snyder stated because of the newness of most of our facilities,
he did not feel we were in bad shape.
Mr. Barker stated except for the Swim Center.

Mr. Ambrose stated we should not underestimate the areas we may have,
however, parks will be reviewed closely under the Self-Evaluation
Program.
Cm. Moffatt questioned what happens after a complaint is filed under
the complaint procedure.
Mr. Barker stated we list the items submitted by a QID in writing. It
is then forwarded to the City's Compliance Officer, who would
potentially try to provide accommodations. It could go before the
Board to discuss possible accommodations. It would then be discussed
with the City Manager.
Cm. Burton asked how we will be able to tell if a medical condition
exists. Will they have to have some kind of medical certificate.
Mr. Barker stated it goes even further, to someone who is regarded as
having a disability. It covers the whole gambit and gets to a legal
question.
Cm. Burton stated it sounds as if this is worse than even a back
problem.
Mr. Barker advised that if there were a serious question downline, we
could potentially ask for a doctor's note.
Cm. Burton asked if we could just drop the swim program. This seems
to be opening a can of worms. They could potentially pit the Federal
Government against us.
Mayor Snyder responded that once you have done it, you have done it.
The swim program is only one program.
Mr. Barker advised that they must come and ask the City to make
accommodations first before going to the Federal Government. What
most disabled people want is simply access to the services.
Cm. Burton stated if people can sue the city for almost anything, what
is the likelihood that they can use the Federal Government to back
them.
Ms. Silver stated an individual would have to prove their case. If
they go to one of the federal agencies, they would do an
investigation. Someone who feels they have been discriminated against
has to file a complaint. It is then investigated and if it is totally
meritless, all that would be required would be a letter. First of
all, a person has to prove they are a QID and then they have to show
that we did not make a reasonable accommodation.
Cm. Burton asked if we don't pass this and something happens, are we
any worse off.

Ms. silver responded yes, the city would be in a worse position
legally if the modifications are not made and the facilities are still
used by the public.
Mr. Rankin stated the other element that this addresses is employment.
Federal law requires that we have this in place when we recruit. It
goes beyond buildings and things; it is a requirement by the Federal
Government to provide services.
On motion of Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. Howard, and by majority
vote, the Council adopted

in all documents.

EASTERN DUBLIN BUDGET STATUS &
REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO SEeURE ADDITIONAL FUNDS (600-30)
Planning Director Tong advised that the Eastern Dublin Study has been
underway since August 1988, which consists of the General Plan
Amendment, Specific Plan and related items such as the Environmental
Impact Report. There have been five contract amendments thus far to
accommodate additional work necessary to complete the study. A sixth
amendment is now required to cover costs already incurred by
additional studies and costs associated with preparing the final plan
and EIR documents. Any future work required by the council would be
in addition to the costs described in the Staff Report. The GPA costs
funded by property owners - $97,263. The SP costs funded by property
owners - $214,460. The remaining SP costs advanced by the city -
$79,459. The SP costs advanced by the city would be recovered with
interest from future applicants at the time future applications are
submitted.

Mr. Tong advised that staff currently estimates that an additional
$243,861 in Planning Consulting Services and $15,511 in Legal services
have been incurred for the Planning Commission's recommended plan.
These additional costs in 1992-93 are attributable to an underexpen-
diture of funds in 1991-92 and costs associated with additional
required work since the 1992-93 budget was prepared.
Cm. Burton asked when this is going to stop. Who is going to put on
the brakes? He asked if there is some control that we have. This has
exceeded the budget over and over again.
Mr. Ambrose stated this is because the City Council continuously asks
for more and more work. He also pointed out that the amount of funds
spent last year were not as much as we anticipated. The financial
consultant is already $20,000 in the hole. He has indicated he would
do no further work unless he got a commitment from the City.
Mr. Tong stated the City also received over 750 responses to the Draft
Environmental Impact Report that legally have to be responded to. A
considerable amount of time goes into this process.
Cm. Burton asked if the project doesn't go through and is turned down,
who will pick up the $79,000.
Mr. Ambrose stated the city will, unless it is able to somehow recover
it from the applicants.
Cm. Moffatt asked if these numbers are anticipated costs to
conclusion, or just what we owe at this time.
Mr. Tong advised that the bulk has already been incurred and it would
carry the plan, as recommended by the Planning Commission to
conclusion.
Mr. Ambrose pointed out that the direction given at the last meeting
by the Council is not included in these funds. An analysis was
included in the Staff Report.
Mr. Tong stated there would probably be about $7,000 more in
consultant costs, excluding any additional environmental work.
Cm. Houston questioned how a quarter of a million dollars could
accrue.
Mr. Tong stated the vast majority of the work has already been
incurred. The various alternatives that the City Council requested
some information on, the consultants did a relatively minimal amount
of work, but in-house Staff did the bulk of the work.
Mr. Ambrose stated a lot of the work that was done had to be done by a
number of sub-consultants. They were involved in responding to the
EIR comments.

Cm. Houston questioned the amount of money to date that has been paid
by the landowners.
Mr. Tong advised that the total funding commitments through June 30,
1992 are $992,435.
Mr. Ambrose stated we are billing and we are getting our money back.
Doug Abbott asked about the $79,000 that the City is advancing. Does
this represent a prorata share of property owners who refuse to pay at
this point. If those properties are not annexed, is the City left
holding the bag?
Mr. Tong stated the $79,000 is for the Specific Plan portion that
property owners in the SP area have decided not to contribute at this
point.
Mr. Abbott stated he was surprised that the City doesn't have some
type of legally binding agreements.
Mr. Tong stated we do with some of the property owners.
Ms. Silver advised that there is a statute that allows the City to
recover costs when properties are annexed. When they apply for any
type of approvals, they will have to pay their share of the costs,
plus interest.
Mr. Abbott urged the City Council to look at this very carefully.
Mayor Snyder stated this will be like a domino effect, and once we
start annexing, this will be the point of recovery.
Cathy Straus stated she had concerns about the $79,000. If the plan
gets approved on one property only, she questioned if that particular
property owner would have to pay the whole remaining share, even if
they had paid their share.
Ms. Silver stated the costs are ultimately figured on a per acre
basis.
Carolyn Morgan stated she had paperwork at home which states that if
certain property owners don't like the way the plan is approved, they
have a right to change it. Some people are being asked to pay on

property that they don't want included in the plan at all. She
summarized by stating she felt this process should have been done
years ago.
On motion of Cm. Houston, seconded by Cm. Howard, and by unanimous
vote, the Council directed staff to secure from contributing property
owners the full GPA sponsor costs (estimated at $97,263) and their
individual SP property owner costs (estimated at $214,460) and
authorized a City advance of $79,459 to be recovered with interest
upon annexation or development approval and authorized an additional
appropriation of $243,861 to the Planning Professional Services
Account and $15,511 to the Legal Services Account. These costs will
be offset by new revenues.
Cm. Burton added that Staff should do everything possible to cut down
on the costs.

OTHER BUSINESS
st. Patrick's Day Parade (950-40)
Mr. Ambrose reminded the Council that they needed to contact Ms.
Lowart as soon as possible regarding their plans for participating in
the st. Patrick's Day parade on March 13, 1993. The sponsor of the
parade needs the information no later than February 25th.

1993-94 Annual Budqet (330-20)
Mr. Ambrose requested that the Council check their calendars in order
to schedule the annual contract review and budget hearing meetings.
He suggested dates of June 15th and 16th.
The Council determined that these dates were not workable and the only
dates available in June were June 1st and 2nd.
Cm. Houston stated he was very anxious to see the spending cuts
report, and would like to have this information as soon as possible.
Mr. Ambrose stated he hoped to bring the revenue options report back
to the Council at the March 8th regular meeting, and he may also have
some information on the refinancing of the certificates of
Participation on the civic Center.
He reminded that the Goals & objectives study session meeting is
scheduled for March 23rd.

Toll Road (800-30)
Cm. Burton stated he, had read that ABAG has taken a stand against the
