.
One of the letters attached to the Staff Report made reference to a
bonding requirement and he questioned whether this is really
necessary.
Mr. Thompson advised that on all of our contracts we have bonds
required to make sure that the contractor fulfills their obligation.
We had a sweeping contractor disappear on us a few years ago which
cost us a lot of extra money. This is really a guarantee that they
will fulfill the job they are hired to do.
em. Houston stated he thought this would apply more in the
construction trade.
Mr. Ambrose advised that at one time the bond was a requirement as
noted in the letter which was dated January, 1991. The current
janitorial specifications had deleted this requirement as was
previously recommended.
On motion of Cm. Houston, seconded by Cm. Burton, and by unanimous
vote (Cm. Moffatt absent), the Council adopted
RESOLUTION NO. 81 - 93
(Overruling Protest &)
APPROVING AGREEMENT WITH TRI-VALLEY JANITORIAL SERVICE

and approved a budget transfer from the Building Management budget to
the Shannon Center budget ($9,780) and to the Senior Center budget
($408).

BUSINESS COMMUNITY FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION (470-50)
Associate planner Choy advised that the Dublin Chamber of Commerce
Business Development Committee has requested that the City Council
waive all fees associated with a Citywide Fourth of July Celebration
Sidewalk Sale. The Chamber will be responsible for coordinating the
event, including notification of Dublin based businesses.
Mr. Choy stated they anticipated that this event would work similar to
the st. Patrick's Day activities.
Cm. Burton stated he had received calls related to the photograph
requirement on the application. He questioned the need for this and
if a photo would really be that beneficial.
Mr. Choy stated Staff felt this would help to show what the sidewalk
area would look like. A quick decision could be made from a photo and
hopefully eliminate any need for a Field Review by Staff.
Cm. Burton referenced one of the guidelines which related to
accessibility and questioned what difference a photo would make or how
it would even help.

Mr. Choy advised that what Staff would be asking for is a simple site
plan. They don't necessarily have to do a scale drawing, but in lieu
of this we would request a photo. What they are trying to accomplish
is to be able to approve these things over the counter.
Cm. Burton stated he had been asked to consider waiving this
requirement.
Mr. Choy advised that if there is enough information on file, Staff
can always waive the requirements. If it is a situation where a
sidewalk sale has been held prior and enough information is in the
file, Staff can waive it on a case-by-case basis.
Cm. Houston stated he thought a simple drawing would do the same
thing.
Mr. Choy stated it could, but the thought was that a photo would
provide a clear picture of the area.
Kathi Schultz, the Chamber of Commerce representative of the Committee
organizing the event, asked if it would be possible for an either/or
situation, site plan or picture, whichever would be simpler. She was
concerned that it might delay someone from participating in the sale
if they have to go out and buy film, or even someone who might not
have a camera.
Mr. Ambrose advised that the intent is to make it as simple as
possible. We just want to make sure that an unsafe condition is not
allowed.
Cm. Burton stated he was agreeable to just see what happens. It may
be that more than a photo might be necessary.
Ms. Schultz stated this is part of an ongoing process and they hope to
formalize it as they go along.
Cm. Burton stated the business community had given positive input on
this program.
Mr. Ambrose stated the words "and/or" could be added to the resolution
in the section related to the submittal of a site plan/photo. Staff
would use their discretion.
On motion of Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Howard, and by unanimous vote
(Cm. Moffatt absent), the Council adopted a resolution including the
modified language

OPPOSITION TO AB 996 (TUCKER) & SUPPORT FOR AB 13 (FRIEDMAN)
RELATED TO LOCAL CONTROL OF SMOKING ORDINANCES (560-90/660-40)
Management Assistant Barker advised that two separate smoking law
changes were being considered by the state. AB 996 would establish a
weak statewide tobacco and smoking standard and preempt any local
ordinance not in effect April 1, 1993. AB 13 would prohibit all
smoking in enclosed places of employment.
Mr. Barker advised that both bills failed passage in the ASSembly
during the last days of May. However, they were subsequently granted
reconsideration and AB 966, heard June 3rd, was passed by a vote of
43 - 33. AB 13 was passed in the Assembly on June 7th. Both bills
are now headed to the Senate for consideration by committees and
ultimately by the entire Senate.
Mr. Barker stated in the interest of local control and the ability to
regulate smoking and tobacco control, Staff recommended that the City
Council adopt the resolution indicating support for AB 13 and
opposition to AB 996 and direct Staff to send a copy to Senator
Boatwright.
Cm. Burton stated he was concerned that we are getting all concerned
about this proposal when more important things are going on. He
questioned how this came about.
Mr. Barker stated the request came from Councilmember Moffatt.
Mr. Ambrose explained that we have a local ordinance and we receive
complaints regarding problems. There is one business in the community
who gets complaints from patients related to smoke coming in through
the building's ventilation system.
Cm. Burton stated this is a mechanical problem and the City shouldn't
get involved.
Mr. Barker explained that City Staff processes smoking complaints. We
send out a notice to property owners that they must comply. There is
staff time spent administering this. AB 13 would prohibit smoking in
all work places or places of employment.
Mr. Rankin stated the most difficult areas of the current City
Ordinance related to the open work environment. Each person can
designate their space as either smoking or non-smoking. The health
concerns of the non-smoker takes precedence and it becomes
administratively difficult to investigate and follow-up on complaints.
Obviously, the easiest way to administer this would be to have a clear
no-smoking policy in the work place.
em. Burton stated he felt we were getting nit-picky.
Mr. Rankin advised that non-smokers who have requested the enforcement
of the existing City Ordinance have questioned whether the City is
doing enough.

Mayor Snyder stated he felt we have reached a point where we have to
help non-smokers.
Cm. Howard asked for an explanation of 'enclosed place of employment',
and if this would include a bar and restaurant, or an office on a
home.
Mr. Barker stated it is very comprehensive. Both bills have just
passed the Assembly and they will now go to committees in the Senate.
They are not set in concrete and will most likely be changed in the
Senate.
Janet Lockhart, 11751 Betlen Drive, stated the Chamber of Commerce had
just recently conducted a restaurant poll. Out of all cities in the
Valley, 80% of the restaurant owners in Dublin are definitely in favor
of having completely smoke-free restaurants. Dublin is leading the
way. They highly support AB 13. Ms Lockhart also indicated that a
Valleywide group is looking at the development of such an ordinance
which will be presented to each of the cities.
Cm. Burton stated he just felt that it all boils down to government
getting involved in someone's business.
Cm. Houston stated he felt if something needed to be done, the City's
ordinance should be reviewed.
On motion of em. Burton, seconded by Cm. Houston, and by majority vote
(em. Moffatt absent), the council opted to NOT adopt the resolution
supporting AB 13 and opposing AB 996, and to NOT send any correspond-
ence related to the legislation. Mayor Snyder voted against this
motion and stated he would like to see the City support AB 13.

PUBLIC HEARING REQUEST BY KIDDER ROOFING TO WAIVE
THE REQUIREMENTS FOR AN INSPECTION OF THE NAILING OF THE
ROOF SHEATHING WHERE THE WORK WAS DONE WITHOUT INSPECTION (440-40)
Mayor Snyder opened the public hearing.
Building Official Taugher advised that Mr. Kidder is requesting a
variance to the Building Code requirements for an inspection of the
nailing of roof sheathing at 6880 portage Road. The Staff Report
contained the specifics of the case which started with a stop Work
Notice being left at the site on January 28, 1993, due to failure to
obtain a permit.
Mr. Taugher summarized that the plywood nailing was not inspected.
Uncovering the plywood at one location revealed insufficient nailing
and the long edges of the plywood may not be supported. The
deflection of the unsupported edge of the plywood can cause the
underlayment to tear. Insufficient nails can cause the roof to fail

due to wind uplift. Therefore, Mr. Taugher stated it was his
recommendation that the request be denied.
Mr. Taugher advised that he indicated to Mr. Kidder that he could
insert supports from the underside.
Cm. Burton questioned how Dublin compared to other cities'
regulations. He also questioned the purpose of the sheathing.
Mr. Taugher stated the nailing requirement is a standard construction
requirement. The sheathing supports the roof covering and plywood.
Cm. Burton stated he felt the roof was probably better than a shake
roof, even with less nails. He was mainly upset that there was no
permit. If he is able to solve the support edge by coming up
underneath, he questioned if this would be an acceptable process.
Mr. Taugher stated yes, this would be acceptable. It would be a lot
of work, but there are ways it could be done.
Mr. Kidder passed out information to the City Council only. No copies
were submitted to the City Clerk to be entered into the record. Mr.
Kidder stated he did not get a permit and he got caught and paid the
penalty. He typically doesn't question authority, but rather he likes
to operate within the guidelines. However, he got what he felt was an
unreasonable response from the City's Building Department. His main
concerns were: 1) Is the roof reasonable? Mr. Taugher agrees that
there has been significant improvement to the structure. It is much
stronger than what the City asks for. Mr. Kidder alleged that five
major deficiencies were found by his engineer in the City'S handout on
acceptable nailing patterns.
Mr. Kidder discussed the situation with the box nails versus common
nails. On the agenda statement provided to the Council, his account
of the process is different from what Mr. Taugher stated. Mr Kidder
claimed that Mr. White filed a complaint with the Contractor's Board
and the Better Business Bureau, however, the homeowner's name was on
the complaint rather than the City of Dublin. He pointed out what he
felt were many inconsistencies in the paper trail and as being
contrary to what City Staff had said, there have been numerouS
telephone conversations. In summary, Mr. Kidder stated the roof that
is up there is much better than what was up there previously and it
far exceeds standards. If Mr. Taugher had problems, he stated he had
invited him or anyone else to come up and jump on the roof to test it.
He requested that the City Council pass the roof job.
Cm. Burton stated Mr. Kidder had made a good presentation. He asked
how long he had been in business.
Mr. Kidder stated approximately 10 years, and that he had probably put
on about 300 roofs.
Cm. Burton asked Mr. Kidder what he had learned through this process.

Mr. Kidder apologized for not getting a permit. He had the roof torn
off and the winter weather was bad this year, and he was just more
concerned about getting the job done. He did not feel that the person
he contacted was communicative. He learned to communicate with the
Building Department. He will not do it again.
em. Howard questioned how the owner feels about this, and asked if the
owner is willing to accept a variance.
Mr. Kidder stated it is the prettiest roof on the block. The owner
has never expressed any concerns to him.
Mr. Taugher stated they have tried to contact the owner and the
telephone number is disconnected. They intended to mail the agenda
statement, but there was a mix up and it did not get mailed.
Mr. Kidder stated his installation is more in conformance with the
Uniform Building Code than the flyer put out by the Building
Department.
Cm. Burton asked questions of Bob White, Building Inspector, who
stated the nailing varies from 8" to 9", which is a 2" to 3"
difference along the edges. They were nailed in the 2 x 4's. He
clarified that he himself had made calls to Mr. Kidder's business, and
they were not returned.
Mr. Taugher commented on the information presented by Mr. Kidder and
clarified that he did not feel that inspection of one sheath of
plywood would be representative of the entire roof; i.e., one sheath
out of approximately 2,000 square feet is probably not representative.
When they met to try to resolve this, he gave Mr. Kidder some
technical data regarding the National Plywood Association to help him
present his case. Unfortunately, his engineer is not aware that 1"
wood is 3/4" thick. He recommended that the inspection requirements
not be waived.
Cm. Houston felt that due to the information presented by Mr. Kidder,
the Council should put this off until the information can be reviewed.
Cm. Burton asked if Mr. Taugher would agree that nailing the ends of
the 4 x 8 plywood is stronger.
Mr. Taugher stated it is equivalent.
Cm. Burton asked Mr. Kidder if installing blocks would be an
acceptable solution to him and if he would accept this responsibility.
Mr. Kidder responded yes, that he would like to put this behind him
and move on.
Mayor Snyder closed the public hearing.
Cm. Burton stated this was an unfortunate circumstance, but felt that
this type of resolution might solve it.

ACCEPTANCE OF GIFT TO CITY (150-70)
Recreation Director Lowart advised that the Dublin Senior Center was
recently awarded a $4,350 grant from the Tri-Valley Community Fund to
purchase a computer, a printer and related software.
Mayor Snyder advised that he would abstain from discussion and voting
on this item as he serves on the Board of the Tri-Valley Community
Fund.
On motion of Cm. Houston, seconded by Cm. Howard, and by unanimous
vote (Cm. Moffatt absent & Mayor Snyder abstained), the Council
accepted the gift and directed Staff to prepare a formal acknowledg-
ment to the donor and authorized an additional appropriation of $4,350
to the Data Processing CIP Project.

TRI-VALLEY TRANSPORTATION TRAFFIC MODEL (1060-10)
Public Works Director Thompson advised that as part of the data input
for the Tri-Valley Transportation Traffic Model, the City of Dublin
has been requested to submit a list of the arterial road system which
will be constructed and funded by the City or by Dublin developers.
Dublin'S list for the Base Network included Dougherty Road, Tassajara
Road, Fallon Road and Hacienda Drive from I-580 to Dublin Boulevard,
all as 4-lane facilities.
Contra Costa County subsequently requested that Dougherty Road,
Tassajara Road, and Fallon Road be upgraded to 6-lane facilities, that
Hacienda Drive be extended from Dublin Boulevard to Gleason Drive, and
that Gleason Drive be added to the network. Dublin Staff has taken
the position that if Dublin were to agree to these wider roads and
addition, Contra Costa County would have to fund its portion of the
improvements. Contra Costa County has since agreed to pay their share
of these improvements in Dublin based on Contra costa County's traffic
impacts. The Tri-Valley Transportation Council has requested that

letters be sent from both agencies stating that Dublin and Contra
Costa eounty will pay for these road improvements prior to the TVTC
showing the road system in the Tri-Valley Transportation Plan.
Dublin Planning Staff has identified some concerns with the land use
projections in the model, and will be meeting with Alameda County
Staff to try to resolve the concerns.
Cm. Burton indicated that due to Cm. Moffatt's travel out of town, he
had been asked to sit in at the Tri-Valley Transportation Council
meeting and requested that he be brought up to speed on the issues
involved. He specifically commented that it appears that we are
making a brand new suggestion that Highland be used to bypass Dublin.
He felt this was an excellent idea.
Mr. Thompson advised that we are basically saying we will pay for our
share of the improvement of these streets.
Mr. Ambrose suggested that Public Works and Planning Staff meet with
Cm. Burton in order to brief him prior to the meeting that he will be
attending.
Clarification was made that 3 different groups were being discussed.
Mr. Tong stated he would be meeting on June 21st with Alameda County
Staff to discuss land use differences in the land use projections in
the east Dublin area. The Tri-Valley Transportation Council Technical
Advisory Committee meeting was also being held on June 21st. Then,
the meeting that Cm. Burton was going to attend would be on June 23rd.
Cm. Burton stated he would make an appointment to meet with Staff on
June 22nd.
Mayor Snyder pointed out that we have been through a very exhaustive
exercise with the east Dublin study and it seemed that we have made
all these statements in the plan. We are just reiterating this for
the Tri-Valley Transportation Council.
Mr. Thompson advised that Contra Costa County is saying for the first
time that they are willing to pay their share.
On motion of Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Houston, and by unanimous
vote (Cm. Moffatt absent), the Council approved the draft letter to
Ms. Greenberg and TVTC and authorized the Mayor to sign for the City
of Dublin.

IMPLEMENTATION OF PROCESSING BY CITY OF
PARKING CITATIONS AS REQUIRED BY STATE LAW (570-10 & 600-30)
Assistant City Manager presented the Staff Report and advised that
AB 408, which becomes effective July 1, 1993, would decriminalize
parking citations and impose civil penalties on violators. The
responsibility for levying and collecting these penalties is being
transferred from the Courts, to the City.

CM - VOL 12 - 260
Regular Meeting

e
e
Mr. Rankin explained that Staff proposed a two phase implementation
process. The first phase will involve implementation of a process to
collect parking penalties and conduct an administrative review of any
contested citations. The second phase will require the City to
develop procedures for an independent hearing process before an
examiner designated by the City.
Mr. Rankin discussed the outline of the parking citation process under
AB 408 contained in the Staff Report, as well as the costs involved
with contracting with the Phoenix Group. Given the complexities of
assuming total responsibility for a service previously provided by the
County, it is difficult to project revenues in relationship to costs;
however, preliminary data indicates that revenues should increase.
Mr. Rankin reviewed the required steps that must be taken to assume
full responsibility for this service. He advised that Staff will be
reporting back to the Council at a later date on those items which
require City Council action.
Cm. Burton questioned what the alternatives would be.
Mr. Rankin advised that we could not cite parking violators; we could
hire staff and do the processing in-house; or we could contract with
another agency.
Mayor Snyder stated we could have a local citizen be the referee.
Mr. Rankin advised that with regard to the hearing examiner, Staff
will be coming back to the Council with the guidelines.
Cm. Houston asked the difference between blue curb handicapped parking
with a $30 fine and the other handicapped parking fine which is $275.
He asked if this was at the discretion of the officer as to which
citation could take place.
Chief Rose stated if it is clearly marked as designated in the Vehicle
Code, that was how it is cited. He stated he was not aware of any
blue curb zones within the City. Dublin has not designated any blue
curbs.
On motion of Cm. Houston, seconded by Cm. Burton, and by unanimous
vote (Cm. Moffatt absent), the Council adopted
RESOLUTION NO. 84 - 93
AUTHORIZING AGREEMENT FOR PARKING CITATION PROCESSING SERVICES

OTHER BUSINESS
state Budqet Crisis (330-80)
Mr. Ambrose referenced a memo received from ABAG regarding Siege #2 on
Sacramento over the budget. The group will gather on the west front
steps of the Capitol.
Mr. Ambrose also referenced a communication from the League of
California Cities regarding options that are bubbling up with regard
to the State Budget. So far, most of the options analyzed by the
League are less detrimental to our budget; however, they will have no
firm idea until the budget is actually adopted.

DSRSD Meeting (960-30)
Mr. Ambrose advised that the City had received a notice of a special
meeting DSRSD will be holding with LAVWMA and TWA to discuss sewer
export projects. The meeting will be on June 16th at 7:00 p.m., in
the Pleasanton Council Chambers.

Mayors' Conference (140-15)
Mayor Snyder advised that Vice Mayor Burton will be unable to attend
the Mayors' Conference meeting on July 7th in his absence, and he
