ENCROACHMENT PERMIT REQUEST FROM THE VALLEY ARTISTS The Valley Artists Association has requested the installation of a banner along the fence fronting the Shannon Center on San Ramon Road between April 14 - 29 , 1984 . The Association appears to be a non-profit public service organization inasmuch as it is open to any Dublin resident and does contribute to public service projects in the area . This Art Show, although the paintings are for sale, does serve as a forum for local artists to show their talents and for area residents to view local art . Further , this organization provides City Hall with paintings on a rotational basis at no cost to the City. The policy does call for the events to be located within the City limits, however , this event is to be held at DSRSD' s "White House" on Alcosta Boulevard. The policy allows the Council to waive any guideline due to extenuating circumstances . During discussion, it was clarified that the "White House" does actually belong to Dublin residents . On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Hegarty, and by unanimous vote, the Council approved the request for encroachment permit . CM-3- REGULAR MEETING ��� APRIL 9, 1984 TRAFFIC SIGNAL SAN RAMON ROAD/ALCOSTA BOULEVARD As part of the City ' s Five Year Capital Improvement Program, the City Council designated the construction of a traffic signal at the intersection of San Ramon Road and Alcosta Boulevard for Fiscal Year 1984-85 . As initially proposed, the funding for this project would be shared by the City of Dublin and the City of San Ramon on a 25$/75% basis, respectively. This proposed funding split was based on the fact that the City of Dublin only has one of the four legs of the intersection within its City limits . Staff reported that it had recently met with San Ramon City Staff to discuss the desirability of proceeding rapidly with the construction of the traffic signal . San Ramon Staff indicated that the ability of San Ramon to participate in this project would be based on a 500/50% sharing of the cost . It was agreed at that meeting that both City ' s would equally benefit by having a traffic signal located at that intersection. In the future, this signal would be interconnected with the two proposed state traffic signals at the off-ramps of I-680 and Alcosta Boulevard, as well as the traffic signal at the intersection of Alcosta Boulevard and Davona Drive . Discussion was held regarding the equity of Dublin paying 50% as opposed to 250 . On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Hegarty, and by unanimous vote, the Council determined that it would not be willing to share installation costs on a 50%/50% basis , but rather that it would initially pay for 50o provided that arrangements could be made for the City of San Ramon to reimburse Dublin 25% at such time that the property at the northwest corner of San Ramon Road and Alcosta Boulevard was developed. Further , Council did not feel it would be equitable for the City of Dublin to bear any more than 25% of the cost of maintenance and operation of this signal in the future. TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT ACT ALLOCATION 1984-85 The City has been notified by the Metropolitian Transportation Commission that $8 , 892 . 00 in Transportational Act (TDA) Article 4 . 5 funds will, be available to the City for Fiscal Year 1984-85 . This is an increase of approximately $600 . 00 over Fiscal Year 1983-84 .

CM-3- (y ) APRIL 9, 1984 Staff has met with the representatives for the San Ramon Community Center which provides paratransit services to the City at this time.

As soon as that information is received, staff will present a review of the Paratransit Program to the City Council . On motion of Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm.
