DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 6 VOLUME 29 0~ ~ REGULAR MEETING i„` ~ ,~~ November 16, 2010 '~~~i!~~~~~ c~~~g s DRAFT ~~ ~ i ~ Environmental Specialist Martha Aja presented the Staff Report and advised that the proposed City of Dublin Climate Action Plan (CAP) provided policies and measures aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within the City. The goal of the CAP was to reduce Dublin's community-wide GHG emissions by 20% below a business-as-usual scenario by 2020. The CAP identified a variety of measures to achieve the City's GHG reduction target. The various GHG reduction measures were organized into three broad categories, which included: 1) transportation and land use measures; 2) energy measures; and 3) solid waste and recycling measures. The City expected to reduce GHG emissions through a combination of reduction measures that were included in the CAP. These included measures that were under the City's control and State initiatives aimed at reducing GHG emissions. Mayor Sbranti asked if cities were required to complete a CAP. Ms. Aja stated that cities were not required to complete a CAP. However, there were advantages in that the City could use it for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) tiering purposes. When a development project comes in and is consistent with the document, the developer will not have to complete their own analysis of GHG. It saves both time and money for developers. Mayor Sbranti asked what cities in the Bay Area had adopted a qualified CAP. Ms. Aja stated only 3 or 4 had adopted a CAP. Vm. Hildenbrand stated this was the right way to go. Now there was something the City could promote to bring development into the community. No testimony was received by any member of the public relative to this issue. Mayor Sbranti closed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Scholz, seconded by Cm. Hart and by unanimous vote, the City Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 166 -10 ADOPTING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR THE CITY OF DUBLIN CLIMATE ACTION PLAN and RESOLUTION NO. 167 -10 ADOPTING THE CITY OF DUBLIN CLIMATE ACTION PLAN UNFINISHED BUSINESS - None • NEW BUSINESS DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 7 VOLUME 29 G`,~oFDUe~ REGULAR MEETING ri, ~ ~~~ November 16, 2010 19~~~~ ~~ ~ ~ ~`1GIFOR~~~ ~ ~ ~I ~ DRAFT Feasibilitv of Public Access Defibrillation Proqram 8:01:45 PM 8.1 (540-70) Alameda County Fire Department Deputy Fire Chief Demetrious Shaffer presented the Staff Report and advised that the Dublin City Council established a Fiscal Year 2009-2010 Goal to "study the feasibility of the City establishing a process that would require business participation in the Alameda County Public Access Defibrillation (PAD) program." Staff researched the topic in an effort to determine if other jurisdictions have required participation in established PAD programs, to what extent state and local laws may impact such PAD program participation in Dublin, and the costs (at a cursory level) associated with a program. Staff was seeking further direction from the City Council on this item. Cm. Hart asked if the City needed a medical director for a City-run PAD Program. Chief Shaffer stated yes. The medical director was per agency. When the City of Dublin instituted an AED program, in order to deploy AEDs, the City had to have a medical director write a prescription in order for the City to purchase AEDs and oversee the program. Any business that wanted have a program would also have to have a medical director oversight for the program. Cm. Hart asked if that was part of what Alameda County's medical director did. Chief Shaffer stated not necessarily. Cm. Hart asked who was the medical director for the City's AED program. Human Resources Director Julie Carter stated the City's medical director/oversight person had been Dr. Santos of Valley Care. It was now DiPietro and Associates, a private contractor. The medical director electronically checks the units' batteries once a month. Cm. Hart asked for more information about the County being understaffed with its program. If the City were to lean towards a program such as San Diego's, would it not be referred back to Alameda County's medical director? Chief Shaffer stated it would depend on the City Council's direction. The City could point directly to the PAD program and say businesses were required to provide it, or develop a San Diego model unique to Dublin, and outline what those requirements would be, as long as the City took into account existing State law. Cm. Hart asked if there was a cost to the City of Dublin if it implemented a PAD program. Chief Shaffer stated there would be a cost to the businesses, and City Staff to develop a program and whatever the City's oversight might be. Cm. Biddle asked if the medical director had to be a medical doctor. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 8 VOLUME 29 ~~o~nti REGULAR MEETING n; ~ ~v 19~ ~~ November 16, 2010 ~ ~` ~ ~ ~4GIFOR~~~ ~ ii DRAFT Chief Shaffer stated yes. The program was based on what the individual agency or business wanted to do. There were some companies that did everything involved in a program. There were others where it was only the medical director relationship; everything else was managed internally. Through Alameda County PADs program, there was a registry once you purchased AEDs and it was all set up, you could enter all those locations and information and it would populate emails to remind you to check your batteries and maintenance. Cm. Scholz stated that because a defibrillator was available to a friend of hers when it was critical, it saved this person's life. The report was general but when you knew someone, it made it personal. Cm. Hart stated he was passionate about AEDs. They saved lives. He did not care if it cost $3,500 for a business to start a program. It was money that would save lives. The State was putting them in every State building. The County had defibrillators in its buildings. He supported having a program. Cm. Biddle stated there were seven to eight businesses in Dublin that had this type of program. It was good to educate other businesses that these did save lives. The City might even be able to assist with training. Vm. Hildenbrand stated she agreed with Cm. Hart. The whole City Council was passionate about the health of the community. This was something the City could come up with that worked for Dublin's community. Mayor Sbranti asked if the City Council wanted to go beyond what was stated in Staff's recommendation. He supported Staff's recommendation. Cm. Hart stated Staff's recommendation was weak. It was written under the mindset of an outreach program. He suggested the City Council ask Staff to come up with a program for the City. Mayor Sbranti asked to what elements of a program did the City have. City Manager Pattillo stated the City's facilities qualified for a PAD program. She asked, for City Council's consideration, that Staff return with questions to tailor a program that met the City Council's expectations. Those questions could include program development, cost implications, timing, and implementation. In terms of costs, most of the programs the City had done had been based on new development and new business, while allowing for retrofits for existing businesses. Staff would be mindful of the costs associated with the program. The City valued and respected small businesses in Dublin and some were living on the margins right now. This should be taken into consideration. The City could mandate something no one complied with. Staff needed to come back to the City Council with questions they could answer to provide Staff direction. Mayor Sbranti stated the City Council needed to see what a program would look like and what it really meant, including costs. Cm. Hart stated he concurred with the City Manager's recommendation. However, the current standing recommendation of the next step was written based on the proposed outreach program. He DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 9 VOLUME 29 G~~~oFDUe~ REGULAR MEETING rn ~ a~ November 16, 2010 '~~~~~~ dGIFpR~ DRAFT was a strong supporter of having defibrillators in the business attack the program based on the City Council's direction.

This program would take work By consensus, the City Council directed Staff to provide information regarding what a program would look like. City Manager Pattillo stated Staff would have the City Council's involvement in the programs development. Staff would also work with the City's Chamber of Commerce for input. Mayor Sbranti stated the City needed to be sensitive to the costs to businesses. Cm. Hart stated the costs were reduced when AEDs were purchased in volume. Mayor Sbranti stated there might be grant opportunities available. Also, there was an important training component that went hand-in-hand with the units. Chief Shaffer stated cost was $3,500-$4,500 per unit. Alameda County Emergency Medical Services was going to the Board of Supervisors for funds to purchase more AEDs and deploy them in County areas and give the rest to jurisdictions within the County as a grant opportunity for AEDs. Alameda County informed him that enforcement was an issue in terms of size of Staff. There was not enforcement in place. • OTHER BUSINESS Brief /NFORMATION ONLY reports from Council and/or StafF, including Committee Reports and Reports by Council related to meetings attended at City expense (AB 1234) 8:34:26 PM Vm.
