OF THE ARMY, RESERVE TRAINING AREA Colonel Marks extended an i nvi tats i on to the C i ty CUUViC i I to the opening of artillery sub- caliber range at Camp Parks Air Force Training Area on November 15,1 952 at 9:00 a.m. , Building 790. In •the past, the firing of artillery has been brought up both by the media and other interested parties in the valley. He felt a demonstration would provide valuable insights in that they are not firing artillery, but a rather simplified device which uses a small projectile held by a shotgun shell . This allows the artillery perscnnei to :effect: the same training as though they were firing live artillery. The-cost is fractional ; approximately $1 .00 per round as opposed to $SCO-•?400 per round for live artillery. The noise is something less than a firecracker.

REQUEST FOR STOP SIGNS BRIGHTON DRIVE/LANGMUIR LANE At its meeting of October 25, 1982, the City Council received a request from residents in the vicinity of Brighton Drive and Langinuir Ldne for stop signs on Brighton Drive/Lang- muir Lane. The County Traffic Engineer has reviewed the need for stop signs at this location and determined that a stop sign at this location does not meet warrants. The Police Chief, however, has recommended that a stop sign be installed to control excessive speeding. Although this intersection may not meet traffic warrants, because of the CM-•1-153 intersection's proximity to Dublin High School , and the use of Brighton Drive as a connector street between Amador Valley Boulevard and Village Parkway, special consider- ation of stop signs may be appropriate at this location. After discussion, on motion by Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Hegarty, and by unanimous vote, an emergency ordinance was introduced and adopted establishing traffic regulations by means of stop signs at intersection of Brighton Drive/Langmuir Lane. ORDINANCE NO. 21 ESTABLISHING TRAFFIC REGULATIONS BRIGHTON DRIVE AT THE INTERSECTION OF LANGMUIR LANE TRAFFIC STUDY : DUBLIN BOULEVARD/SILVERGATE -DRIVE The Alameda County Road Department has identified four alternatives for redesigning the intersection of Dublin Boulevard and Silvergate Drive.

Following presentation and discussion, the Council directed Staff to request additional information from the County in order to adequately make a decision related to which alternative would be most appropriate. The additional information requested would include a detailed cost summary of alternative #2, including a stop sign at the northwest .corner. The cost summary should include all related engineering,' ,inspection and force account costs. ..Staff was also directed to find out the amount 'of money the County would contribute toward the completion of this alterna- tive. Staff was also directed to have the County prepare a low-cost alternative which includes stop signs for 'all three directions of travel and any appropriate striping modifications. " ' Discussion was' 'held related to relocation of bike lanes on Dublin' Bou le vard to another location in order to modify the center line on. Dublin Boulevard. PUBLIC EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM In August, 1982, the City Council authorized Staff to initiate retirement coverage for employees under the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) . Since that time, PERS has conducted an actuarial valuation which developed the employer contribution rate to the retirement system and projects the annual costs to the City. The employer rate for the City of Dublin will be 7.138%. This is the projected actuarial rate to the year 2007; however, the employer's rate is subject to change with future amendments and/or experience and other factors. .; The estimated annual cost to -the City 'of Dublin utilizing the most current payroll figures 'available Js $7,887. The employee contribution rate will be 7% of employee earnings, exclusive of overtime. On motion by Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Moffatt, and by unanimous vote the City Council agreed to adopt the resolution of intention and introduced the ordinance, waiving reading.

On November 3, 1982, Staff attended a meeting held by BART staff for the purpose of receiving comments from all interested parties on the content of the Request for Proposal and route alignment. S­% After discussion, -Staff was requested to 'relay City Council comments to BART: make certain that adequate parking is available adjacent to the BART station locations. Ex- . plore the possibility of utilizing the southern portion of Camp Parks for parking just east of Hopyard Road.' Consider a station which is located -in the center median of. Highway 580 which would either include parking on both sides of the station, or an elevated parking structure above the station.

The Cities 'of Dublin and Pleasanton are presently served by BART express buses (under contract to AC Transit) , while the City of Livermore operates its own bus system. It is well recognized that greater local public transportation is needed in Dublin and Pleasanton. The MTC has indicated that there are funds available to provide such local transportation from Article 4 -of the Transportation Development Act. It was recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution requesting Metropolitan Transportation Commission; to fund a local transit study which would include the areas of Dublin, Pleasanton, and adjacent unincorporated area, and further, designate the City of Pleasanton as the lead agency in such a planning endeavor.

PARADES Mr. Ambrose stated the City has recently received 2 requests for Santa Arrival Parades .requiring a $60 application fee as established by the County. One applicant requested that the fee be waived. Cm. Burton felt the application fee should be 'charged on .a 'graduated fee scale, based on size of parade:, . Cm.

Fences along Village• Parkway were discussed. Mr. Ambrose asked Mr. Burnham to look into the subdivision regulation and-CC&R's to see if there is a clause contained which would require maintenance of these fences. .There definitely is a problem, but Mr. Ambrose stated he wasn't sure exactly what the solution is. As the fences start coming down, and .the resident replaces , there's nothing that prohibits one person from putting up chainlink, another putting up wood, another concrete, etc. A possible solution would be for the City to acquire some type of easement and make it the City's responsibility to maintain the fences in that particular area. The brick posts are individual private property. GARBAGE AT BUS STOP LOCATIONS Cm. Burton brought concern before Council of overflowing garbage situation at bus stop CM-1 -156 located just next to Grand Auto. He felt the City should invest in some permanent type of litter containers. Mr. Ambrose has discussed the location with the County and the property owner. The County empties the trash when they are in that vicinity, but this is not done on any kind of a regular basis. Miles Ferris , a representative from DSRSD was present at the meeting and indicated he would obtain price information for the City related to pick up of garbage at this location. TREE TRIMMING Cm. Burton relayed some information he read in the League of CA Cities bulletin related to ideas on saving money on tree trimming as a cooperative effort between the City and the people. He felt it was well worth pursuing and investigating. Perhaps PG&E would be willing to help. STREET SWEEPING SCHEDULE Mr. Ambrose indicated that Richard Figueroa, Marc Sweeping Service has established a schedule which will be published in the near future. A map will be put together, and people will be encouraged to not park their cars on the street on those days that pertain to their neighborhood. Cm.

Mr. Ambrose indicated that he had, and if a claim is to be filed, .the incident will be handled by the insurance carried by street sweeping contractor. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY Mayor Snyder attended the meeting on the Solid Waste. Management Authority. Twenty or so people were in attendance, and several good things came out of the meeting.
