'* '* '* '* PROCLAMATION TO DAN DOWNEY (610-50) Mayor Snyder read and presented a proclamation to Dan Downey who recently moved to Turlock and is therefore unable to continue to serve on the Planning Commission. Mayor Snyder expressed the city's sincere appreciation for Dan's many years of service to the community on the Parks & Recreation commission, as well as on the Planning commission. Dublin's loss is certainly Turlock's gain. Dan thanked the council and presented to the city a copyrighted copy of the song he entered in the City song contest held in early 1993. Mayor Snyder advised that he had requested that Dan get a copyright on the song so he would always get credit. While his song did not win the contest, it is nonetheless a very good song.

TRI-VALLEY HERALD PRESENTATION (150-80) Tim Hunt, Editor of the Tri-Valley Herald presented the annual 'Clean Sweep Award' to Lt. Col. Mark Nelson of Parks Reserve Forces Training Area. This is the third year this award, which evolved from Dublin Pride Week activities, has been presented. Mr. Hunt stated LTC Nelson took an eyesore over at Camp Parks and turned in into an important asset for the community of Dublin. Regretfully, we are losing LTC Nelson to a new command on the east coast. * * * * Zoninq Requlations (450-20) Jaynie Bunnell, who identified herself as a potential Dublin business woman, requested that the city council initiate a Zoning Ordinance amendment to allow her to put an expresso cart under an existing business, SUbject to a Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Ambrose stated pursuant to this request, staff could bring this back to a future agenda to initiate a study. He reminded the Council that there is a long list of studies that have not been done due to the shortage of staff. Cm. Houston asked about the location. Ms. Bunnell stated she is looking at locating at Tim's Chevron station on the corner of Dublin Boulevard and San Ramon Road. Cm. Moffatt asked how long a study would take or if a Variance could be used. Mr. Ambrose stated it could be placed on the next agenda and it would depend on what else the council wishes to push back in order for staff to work on this. We have some fairly major projects in the works now. Mr. Tong advised that the best scenario for an Ordinance change would be a 3 month timeframe in order to meet the hearing requirements. A Variance could not be issued for this type of use. The Council suggested that Ms. Bunnell meet first with Staff and then if need be, the issue could come before the city council at the next meeting. * * * * Parkinq Requlations (570-20) John Carrera stated he had been in the community since about 1960. He recently purchased an older model dump truck. He did not know that the city had an Ordinance that says he can't park this vehicle anywhere. He parks it on the street the same as he parked his older truck as it is the same length, and he got a $50 ticket. I *@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@ eM - VOL 13 - 202 Regular Meeting July 25, 1994 . . Mr. Ambrose stated he needed more information about the circumstances of the ticket. It could be a violation of the state Vehicle Code, or a violation of a City Ordinance. If it is a Vehicle Code violation, citizens have some responsibility and generally cannot say they didn't know about a law. He requested that Mr. Carrera leave his telephone number and stated Staff would be happy-to follow up on this. Mr. Carrera stated it would have been nice to get a warning first. * * * * CONSENT CALENDAR On motion of Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. Burton, and by unanimous vote, the council took the following actions: Approved Minutes of: Adjourned Regular Meeting (Budget) of June 21st; Regular Meeting of June 27th; and Regular Meeting of July 11, 1994; Adopted RESOLUTION NO. 71 - 94 AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXEeUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH TELECOMMUNICATIONS MANAGEMENT CORPORATION FOR CABLE REGULATION eONSULTING SERVICES (600-30/1050-20) Authorized Staff to advertise Contract 94-06, Annual Slurry Seal Program for bids (600-30); Adopted RESOLUTION NO. 72 - 94 APPROVING A CONTRACT WITH THE COUNTY OF ALAMEDA FOR ADDITIONAL LIBRARY SERVICES DURING FISCAL YEAR 1994-95 (600-40) Approved Warrant Register in the amount of $1,055,839.14 (300-40). Cm. Moffatt requested that the Computer Consultant item be pulled from the Consent Calendar for discussion. He did not see any list of the 5 consultants who returned their proposals. Mr. Barker explained that of the 5 consultants who were sent packages, only 2 returned their Request for Proposals. One is a hardware vendor who wants to be part of the next phase of the project. others wanted to provide us with the equipment. The 2 that returned their RFP's are not in the hardware business and they specifically address consulting. This is the initial phase of what was approved in the 1994-95 Capital Improvement Program. Mr. Ambrose advised that the overall hourly rate was less for the selected Consultant. Cm. Houston asked how one goes about getting on the list. *@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@ eM - VOL 13 - 203 Regular Meeting July 25, 1994 . . Mr. Barker stated he has been accumulating vendors in a database on his computer. A lot of vendors view a $3,800 consultant project as very limited and they would rather bid on the equipment. On motion of Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. Houston, and by unanimous vote, the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 73 - 94 AWARDING A COMPUTER CONSULTING CONTRACT TO MICRO BUSINESS SYSTEMS NOT TO EXeEED $3,800 AND AUTHORIZED THE eITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT (600-30) * * * * PUBLIe HEARING - ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING SPEED LIMITS FOR DUBLIN BOULEVARD FROM DOUGHERTY ROAD TO THE SOUTHERN PAeIFIC RAILROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY. SCARLETT DRIVE. AND SCARLETT COURT (590-20) Mayor Snyder opened the public hearing. Public Works Director Thompson advised that this is the second reading of a proposed ordinance that was introduced at the July 11th council meeting. In accordance with the California Vehicle Code (CVC), radar speed surveys were conducted on segments of Dublin Boulevard from Dougherty Road to the SPRR Right-of-Way, on Scarlett Drive, and on Scarlett Court. survey information presented on July 11th indicate that on the section of Dublin Boulevard from Dougherty Road to the SPRR ROW, even though the 85th percentile speed was 44 mph, a 35 mph speed limit was recommended due to the curvature of the roadway and to establish consistency with Dublin Boulevard west of Dougherty Road. On scarlett Drive, the 85th percentile speed was 42 mph, but again, staff recommended a 35 mph speed limit due to the narrowness of the road, the shortness of this segment, and a desire for consistency. On Scarlett Court, the 85th percentile speed was 39 mph, but again, staff was recommending a 35 mph speed limit. As indicated in the Staff Report, no reported speed-related accidents have occurred on any of these street segments. Speed limits for Dublin Boulevard east of the SPRR ROWand for Hacienda Drive will be set once the improvements and roadway dedication have been accepted by Dublin from Pleasanton. No testimony was given by any member of the public on this issue. Mayor Snyder closed the pUblic hearing. Cm. Moffatt advised that he voted against this the last time, but will vote for it at this time as citizens have advised him that they support this. *@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@ eM - VOL 13 - 204 Regular Meeting July 25, 1994 . . On motion of Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Houston, and by unanimous vote, the Council waived the reading and adopted ORDINANCE NO. 5 - 94 ESTABLISHING SPEED LIMITS FO~ DUBLIN BOULEVARD FROM DOUGHERTY ROAD TO THE SOUTHERN PACIFIe RAILROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY, FOR SCARLETT DRIVE AND FOR SCARLETT COURT * * * * PUBLIe HEARING-LANDSeAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANeE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 86-1 (TRACT 5511) VILLAGES @ WILLOW CREEK (360-20) Mayor Snyder opened the public hearing. Public Works Director Thompson presented the staff Report and advised that this assessment district maintains certain landscaping improvements associated with the Villages @ Willow Creek development. The assessment is not proposed to increase over last year's assessment. The 1994-95 assessment is proposed to be $84.72 per single-family lot and $42.36 per condominium/townhouse lot. No written protests were received this year. Cm. Moffatt questioned the reserve amounts held in all three assessment districts. Mr. Thompson advised that this district has a carryover of $131,000 which was built up several years ago. The other reserves are much smaller. No testimony was given by any member of the public relative to this issue. Mayor Snyder closed the public hearing. Cm. Burton expressed his pleasure that assessments are not being increased and complimented staff for being able to maintain this. On motion of Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Moffatt, and by unanimous vote, the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 74 - 94 APPROVING ENGINEER'S REPORT, eONFIRMING DIAGRAM AND ASSESSMENT, AND ORDERING LEVY OF ASSESSMENT FOR CITY OF DUBLIN LANDSeAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 86-1 (VILLAGES @ WILLOW CREEK) and authorized the Mayor to execute the Budget Change Form. * * * * *@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@ CH - VOL 13 - 205 Regular Meeting July 25, 1994 . . PUBLIC HEARING-LANDSeAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 83-2 (TRACT 4719) STAGEeOACH ROAD (360-20) Cm. Burton announced that he would abstain from discussion on this item due to a conflict of interest. Mayor Snyder opened the public hearing. Public Works Director Thompson presented the Staff Report and advised that this assessment district funds the cost of maintenance for the landscaped slopes along stagecoach Road and the 'interior slopes' of Agate Way and Coral way. The 1994-95 assessment as preliminarily approved in the Preliminary Engineer's Report is proposed to be $228.72 per single-family lot and $38.68 per mUlti-family (condominium) lot or total of $21,351.36 for Amador Lakes. This assessment is proposed to remain the same as the 1993-94 assessment. A neighborhood meeting was scheduled on June 28th in order to answer questions and address any issues the property owners wished to discuss, however, no one attended the meeting. Mr. Thompson advised that an alternate plan for an increased assessment for landscape work on the interior would be $263.72 per single-family lot and the assessment per mUlti-family lot would remain at $38.68 since the single-family homes provide 100% of the funding for the interior slopes. Eighty percent of the residents voted against raising the assessment. Mr. Thompson reported that Ron Nahas donated 200 Oleander bushes. Al Hunter stated he did not recall receiving an invitation for residents to come to the neighborhood meeting. Last year, they had one of three choices related to assessment amounts. He thought they agreed to an increase that was to fund additional work near the entrance off stagecoach Road around the monument. Mr. Thompson stated the decision last year was to not do anything additional out there. Mr. Hunter was apparently confusing last year with the year before last. Mr. Hunter advised that they were reluctant to accept the Oleander bushes until they could see where they would be planted. There were some concerns over lost views. On motion of Cm. Moffatt, seconded by em. Houston, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Burton abstained), the Council approved the Budget change Form and continued the public hearing to the meeting of August 8, 1994. * * * * *@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@ CM - VOL 13 - 206 Regular Meeting July 25, 1994 . . PUBLIC HEARING - CITYWIDE STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANeE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 83-1 (360-50) Mayor Snyder opened the public hearing. Public Works Director Thompson advised-that this assessment district funds the energy and maintenance costs for the city's street lighting system. The proposed cost estimate for FY 1994-95 is $353,179, including an accumulated reserve for future pole replacement. An estimated $148,133 will be carried over from 1993-94 in the form of reserves, and $191,621 is proposed to be assessed to property owners for the 1994-95 street lighting costs. The proposed assessment is $19.34 per single-family or condominium lot and $116.04 per apartment building. Commercial lots are assessed at the rate of $106.37 per acre. This is the.same assessment as for 1993-94, with no increases proposed. Mr. Thompson discussed the proposed street light purchase from PG&E in order to realize long-term savings to this assessment district. The cost of pole replacement is estimated at $1,500 each and they would probably be paid off in 6 to 10 years. The cost would be offset by energy savings. Cm. Moffatt asked if the assumption in purchasing the poles is that the rates to the taxpayers would remain just about the same. Mr. Thompson stated this is correct. The appraisal should be coming back within the next month or so. Once we find out how much the city's poles are worth, the city council can make a decision whether to purchase the ones owned by PG&E. John Carrera asked if the street lights being discussed are existing lights or new lights. Mr. Thompson explained that the city owns 1/4 or 1/3 of the street lights in the community now and we pay a higher rate for the ones that are PG&E owned. Mr. Ambrose stated the city is trying to reduce and offset costs of acquisition. appraisal yet, but once we get this, we PG&E to acquire these lights.

PUBLIe HEARING DRAFT PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN (920-30) Mayor Snyder opened the public hearing. Recreation Director Lowart presented the staff Report and advised that the purpose of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan is to establish goals, long-term policies and standards to guide the city in the acquisition, development and management of park and recreation facilities for the next 20 years. The development of the P&R Master Plan was timed to coincide with the planning studies that were being undertaken in western and eastern Dublin. The Master Plan establishes the number and type of facilities which will be required if the city of DUblin is to meet the recreation needs of future residents at the level of service demanded by the current population. Ms. Lowart discussed the planning process, as well as the background and analysis. The successful implementation of the Master Plan is contingent upon acquisition of lands as well as funding for development, operations and maintenance of the new facilities. The Draft P&R Master Plan contains goals, guiding policies and action programs for: Park System; Trails and Bikeways; Open Space; community Image and Character; Park Acquisition and Development; and Maintenance and Operations. Cm. Burton stated you read this Master Plan and get really excited; it is quite ambitious. He noted that bike trails in some areas are to be 20' wide and some are to be 8' wide. He was thinking of developers' responses and felt this may be pretty hard on them. He questioned how much landowners were able to be involved in this study. Ms. Lowart responded that The greatest input came at council several years ago. involved. all the meetings were open to the public. the special study session held by the city The east Dublin developers were very Linda Gates with David Gates & Associates stated Ms. Lowart had given a very good and thorough report. Many years of work was represented in the plan. She thanked Mr. Ambrose, Mr. Tong and Ms. Lowart for shepherding this through the process. A brief slide show presentation was made. Cm. Burton asked if the plan was a wish list or how realistic it is that a city the size of Dublin could accomplish this. Ms. Gates stated the plan does contain wish lists, but it also establishes criteria. The plan does not ask for something unreasonable. It is the same as adjacent communities. There is a lot of demand for ball fields. It is not an unreasonable plan. em. Moffatt commented that the plan sets the standard for us to shoot for. It seems flexible enough that it could accommodate changes. *@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@ CM - VOL 13 - 208 Regular Meeting July 25, 1994 . . Ms. Lowart responded to a comment about a golf course and advised that originally, west Dublin was included and there was a golf course planned there. It is not out of the realm of possibility to think that Dublin may have a golf course someday. Andrea Mackenzie, Park Planner for the-East Bay Regional Park District, stated the plan was a very well written document; particularly in the integration of the policies. The map on Page 11 should be corrected to reflect that the EBRPD is now a full two county district. The Trails Plan designates the primary trail along Skyline Ridge as the Donlon Ridge Trail, but this should be designated on the maps as the District's Las Trampas to Pleasanton Ridge Regional Trail. Also, the District recommended that the Master Plan be incorporated into the city's General Plan. Ms. Lowart stated there is no legal requirement that the Master Plan be incorporated into the city's General Plan. staff recommended that it be adopted as a stand-alone plan. It could be incorporated into the General Plan at any time in the future. Mayor snyder felt this made more sense because a Master Plan can be more easily amended and modified. Mayor Snyder closed the public hearing. Cm. Burton commented that Staff had done a nice job on the Master Plan. Cm. Moffatt stated he also felt Dave Gates & Associates and everyone involved had done a fantastic job. On motion of Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Moffatt, and by unanimous vote, the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 76 - 94 ADOPTING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE FOR THE DUBLIN PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN and RESOLUTION NO. 77 - 94 ADOPTING THE DUBLIN PARKS AND REeREATION MASTER PLAN * * * * PROHIBITION OF ADVERTISING MATERIAL DISTRIBUTED TO HOMES IN PLASTIC BAGS WITH ROCKS (530-20) city Manager Ambrose advised that at the July 11th city Council meeting, Cm. Houston requested that Staff investigate the legality of distributing advertising material to homes in plastic bags with rocks. The city Attorney researched this issue and indicated that the Council could constitutionally adopt an ordinance prohibiting all distribution *@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@ CM - VOL 13 - 209 Regular Meeting July 25, 1994 . . of all commercial advertising on public and private property. The ordinance should survive attack as long as it is restricted to commercial speech but is otherwise content neutral and as long as the council makes explicit findings which establish legitimate reasons for the ordinance. em. Houston asked if there was any difference between throwing it in the gutter or driveway as opposed to the front door. Mr. Ambrose responded no. Cm. Burton stated he felt this could cause a lot of problems. It seems minor compared to some of the other things staff must spend time on. It should be recognized as a problem, but the Council should not try to solve it with an ordinance. Cm. Moffatt stated he hates to go out on Saturdays and pick up all the litter bags with rocks. He stated he was thoroughly convinced that there should be some way to stop this form of advertising, but we would have a tremendous enforcement problem. When you get into the First Amendment area, this changes the whole composition of the advertisement. He stated he would like to see some type of resolution that any material that is put onto the property should have a telephone number that residents could call. Cm. Houston said they do have a telephone number, because the people advertising want responses. If people call to say they don't like this form of advertising, perhaps it will stop. Mayor Snyder advised that he was contacted by David Rounds, General Manager of the Valley Times and he also discussed it with Tim Hunt, Editor of the Tri-valley Herald. They were alerted to this situation as not only do they distribute newspapers, but they contract with independent advertisers. They indicated they would have strong concerns if we try to legislate this distribution. This seems to be an area where the city would probably spend more time policing. Cm. Burton felt that if complaints are received, the callers should be told to call the advertisers and complain. No action was taken by the council relative to this issue. * * * * OTHER BUSINESS Neiqhborhood Watch Proqram Event (580-40) Mr. Ambrose passed out a flyer inviting everyone to National Night Out, an event put on as part of the Neighborhood Watch Program.

Report of council/School District Liaison Meetinq (610-05) Mr. Ambrose advised that the Liaison Committee met this past week with the School District and he asked Cm. Houston to provide an update. Cm. Houston stated he felt we will be able to work out a solution to funding for crossing guards. The School District may be able to better absorb some maintenance of the facilities that the city currently performs, which would free up some city funding. School District Staff is analyzing some numbers to present to their Board. Mr. Ambrose stated the School Board will not meet again until August 17th, so we have to wait for them to officially respond to our offer. Cm. Houston discussed the joint use agreement and stated much to everyone's surprise, there seems to be no problems. He was happy to hear this. Mr. Ambrose advised that they talked about revisiting the priority list of school projects. He will be meeting with the superintendent one more time regarding recommendations. Cm. Houston summarized that it was a very positive meeting. * * * * Tri-Vallev Transportation Council Report (1060-40) Cm. Moffatt reported that he had received the second draft of the Tri- Valley Transportation Council Action Plan of Regional Significance. This report was published by Barton Aschman and the report is essentially what $40,000 bought us. He stated he would like to put it on the agenda of the next Council meeting for the council's perusal and comments. There are some definitions that we might want to modify somewhat. They overshot their budget so there won't be too many copies of the report around. Mr. Ambrose questioned the calendar for getting comments back. Public Works and Planning will need to take a coordinated approach. Cm. Moffatt stated he thought it would be 30 days. As Chairman, he had planned to wind this up by the end of July. The report is fairly comprehensive. A lot of concerns need to be answered in the next 60 days. * * * * Graffiti Problems (530-20) Cm. Moffatt advised that at the Tri-valley Council meeting last week in Livermore, there was discussion about how Livermore will be taking care of the graffiti occurring in their community. em. Moffatt asked if there was any interest in developing a program to study the graffiti problem ~n Dublin. *@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@ CM - VOL 13 - 211 Regular Meeting July 25, 1994 . . Cm. Burton stated they are using a type of reusable, recycled paint and you can get 20 gallons for about $5. The idea is to go in and paint over the graffiti right away. This might be a good service club type project that could work. We need to find out if we have the authority to paint someone's building though. Mr. Ambrose advised that Staff has been working on this for about 3 months. Every community in California is having this problem. He anticipated that a report would be coming to the Council in the future. It is felt we need to have some dialog with the business community as it is also of great concern to them. There is a practical problem of stepping onto someone else's property and taking action. Last week, Staff had a demonstration done on San Ramon Road. The process, which is a hot water, high pressure system, works better on stone or concrete. The key is to get it off as quickly as possible. Cm. Moffatt stated he would like to look at doing this with some other communities in order to achieve some economy of scale. * * * * Siqn Ordinance Revisions (400-30) Cm. Houston questioned the status of the Sign Ordinance. Mr. Ambrose advised that this issue will be coming to the Council at their next meeting for the first public hearing. * * * * Proclamation (610-50) Cm. Houston asked if the city would be doing a resolution or some type of recognition for LTC Nelson who is leaving Camp Parks. Mayor Snyder advised that a proclamation had already been done. * * * * Livermore Valley Leadership Group (610-05) Cm. Burton reported that he had attended the last meeting of the Livermore Valley Leadership Group and advised that this group is no longer going to meet. There was discussion about the sewer expansion project, and it appears that we are going to have to solve the problem here and not go back through the pipelines. Bob Whitley from LAVWMA spoke at the meeting. He stated 36 hours is the maximum storage they have. The process of reverse osmosis is being reviewed. Mayor Snyder stated he would like to see this group continue in some format in the future. unfortunately, when others got involved, they , *@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@ eM - VOL 13 - 212 Regular Meeting July 25, 1994 . . decided how they were going to control the group. The County Administrator spoke to him about it and they both agreed they are sorry to see it go away. * * * * Senior Center Floor (240-30) Cm. Burton requested that Staff t~ke a look at the condition of the floor at the Senior Center. There are a lot of cracks and it seems to be in very poor condition. * * * * state Budqet (330-80) Mayor Snyder advised that he had received a letter from the Governor related to a rally that is being held on the west steps of the Capitol at noon on Monday, August 8th. They hope to have a show of strength to drive home a united front. * * * .
