AGENDA STATEMENT
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: June 25, 1984
SUBJECT Request from San Ramon Valley Education Foundation to
use Dublin City streets on October 14, 1984 for a 1/2
marathon and 10K run
EXHIBITS ATTACHED Letter from San Ramon Valley Education Foundation
received June 15 , 1984
RECOMMENDATION OC/Deny request
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Estimated cost to City - $1, 118 . 85
DESCRIPTION The San Ramon Valley Education Foundation is planning
three races, two of which will have considerable effect on the City of
Dublin. These two races would be using a route of Dougherty Road to Amador
Valley Boulevard to Brighton Drive to Village Parkway to City limits at
Kimball Avenue.
Staff recommends that the Council deny San Ramon Valley Education Foundation
permission to use Dublin ' s City streets in routing this event for the
following reasons :
1 . Planning traffic control takes many hours that Dublin Police Services
does not have to give above their current workload
2 . Route contains four intersections that would call for uniformed Police
traffic control .
3 . Dublin Police Services Staff is not large enough to handle traffic needs
without reserve help.
4 . A Dublin Community Organization has already planned a Dublin 10K run in
September that utilizes the volunteer hours that are available from the
reserve unit.
5 . When events are held too often in an area, especially runs utilizing
heavy traffic routes, the City' s citizens feel unjustly inconvenienced.
6 . The City of San Ramon is a large spread out City of 28 square miles with
many broad neighborhood streets that are capable of handling these types
of runs. Dublin is only 4 square miles and does not have sufficient
streets to handle runs without major neighborhood and thoroughfare
interference.
If the Council were to approve the request, it is estimated that forty five
hours of overtime would be expended for a cost of $1, 118 . 85 .
20 hours @ $28 . 82 per hour $ 570 . 40
20 hours @ $21 . 26 per hour 425 . 20
5 hours @ $24 .65 per hour 123 . 25
Total $1, 118 . 85
Total includes planning, supervising and furnishing four Officers and 1
Sergeant at traffic control points for 5 hours .

Subject: Regarding Approval of Road Course.
The S.R.V.E.F., a non-profit organization for the San Ramon
Valley U.S.D. , is sponsoring a series of three races on October 14,
1984. The first race is a Half Marathon, starting in Danville pas-
sing through Dublin and ending in San Ramon. The second race will
start in San Ramon, pass through Dublin and end in San Ramon. The
third race will start and finish in San Ramon. Detailed information
is attached as to exactly what atreets the race will run along.
We are writing this letter to inform you that we have planned
the race for October 14, 1984 and we would like your permission to
run on your streets.
We would like to present the race to you at your city council
on June 25.
We are asking that our traffic monitors be allowed to direct
traffic along Dougherty, Amador Valley Blvd, Village Parkway from
9:00 A.M. to 10:30 A.M. We would not be closing any streets, but
we would ask drivers to wait before proceeding if runners are in
danger. We will be very willing to work with the Dublin police
if that is required.
The race will be directed by Terry Jacobsen with the help of
Nancy Lewis and Steve Armstrong. Terry Jacobsen is an officer of
the S.R.V.E.F. Nancy Lewis is the director of the well known Devil
Mountain Run. Steve Armstrong has been the Race day director of
the Run For Daylight and the Walnut Festival 10 k's.Markstein bever-
age company and Levi Strauss company and Primo's Pizza, will
sponsor the race.
We understand that Dublin has its own school system, and there
may be some opposition to having a San Ramon race go through a city
that supports another school district. It should be noted though
that Dublin H.S. has a race that starts in Dublin, travels through
the city of San Ramon, and back to Dublin.

The San Ramon City Council approved this race with no opposition.
In conclusion as education is going through a period of financial
hardship, an activity which raises money for a school system is a
good activity which should be permitted regardless of which school
district it serves. EDUCATION IS THE BACKBONE OF OUR COUNTRY.
Thank you
