service providers, criminal justice professionals and victim advocates are working together to enhance a criminal justice system response that is accessible, culturally
competent and appropriate for all victims of crime; and
WHEREAS, in 2020, the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office Victim/Witness Assistance Division provided over 3,161 services to more than 532 crime victims
in Dublin, including but not limited to, child victims of violence and sexual abuse, stalking victims, survivors of homicide victims, human trafficking victims, elder and
dependent adult abuse victims, as well as victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, robbery, and other crimes; and the Victim/Witness Assistance Claims Division
assisted more than 23 victims of crime in receiving state compensation funds and successfully compensated $17,7056 which paid for services for victims of crime

SUBJECT:City Proclamations for the Month of April

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider the following proclamations for the month of April in the City of
Dublin: Arbor Day, Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Donate Life Month, Financial Capability
Month, Child Abuse Prevention Month, Second Chance Month, and Fair Housing Month.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the proclamations.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
DESCRIPTION:
The City Council will consider the following proclamations for the month of April:
1. Arbor Day
National Arbor Day is April 30, 2021. While in years past this was a time for volunteer
opportunities and community events for all ages, current CDC guidelines surrounding
COVID-19 make this year very different. The Arbor Day Foundation is encouraging virtual
events for Arbor Day 2021.
2. Sexual Assault Awareness Month
According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, April 2021 marks the official
20th anniversary of Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
3. Donate Life Month
Donate Life Month was established nationally by Donate Life America and its partnering
organizations in 2003. Observed each April, National Donate Life Month helps to encourage
16
Page 2 of 3
Americans to register as organ, eye, and tissue donors and to honor those that have saved
lives through the gift of donation.
4. Financial Capability Month
The Financial Literacy and Education Commission (FLEC) recognizes Financial Capability
or Financial Literacy Month each April to raise public awareness of the importance of
financial literacy and maintaining smart money management habits.
5. Child Abuse Prevention Month
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Child Abuse
Prevention Month recognizes the importance of communities working together to help
families thrive and prevent child maltreatment. Throughout the year and especially during
the month of April, communities are encouraged to increase awareness about child and
family well-being and work together to implement effective strategies that support families
and prevent child abuse and neglect. This year’s theme for National Child Abuse Prevention
Month is “Thriving Children and Families: Prevention with Purpose”.
6. Second Chance Month
According to the National Association of Criminal Defense Layoffs (NACDL), April 2021 will
celebrate Second Chance Month. Since 2017, NACDL, Prison Fellowship, and other national
partners have recognized Second Chance Month as a time to raise awareness about the
obstacles faced by over 70 million Americans with a criminal record and unlock
opportunities for them to succeed.
7. Fair Housing Month
National Fair Housing Month celebrates the passage of the Fair Housing Act in April 1968, a
national law that prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of housing based
on race, color, national origin, religion, and gender.
Fair Housing Month reminds us that the principle of fair housing is not only state and
national law, but a fundamental human concept and entitlement for all people. As a
community, we welcome all good neighbors and recognize the contributions of a wide
variety of people from diverse backgrounds, colors, ethnicities, and religious traditions.

“Arbor Day – April 30, 2021”
WHEREAS, in 1872, J. Sterling Morton proposed to the Nebraska Board of Agriculture that a special day be set aside for the planting
of trees; and
WHEREAS, the holiday, called Arbor Day, was first observed with the planting of more than a million trees in Nebraska; and
WHEREAS, Arbor Day is now observed throughout the nation and the world; and
WHEREAS, trees are a renewable resource giving us paper, wood for our homes, fuel for our fires, and countless other wood
products; and
WHEREAS, trees in the City of Dublin increase property values, enhance the economic vitality of business areas, and beautify the
community; and
WHEREAS, trees, wherever they are planted, are a source of joy and spiritual renewal.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Dublin City Council does hereby proclaim April 30, 2021 as Arbor Day in the

“Sexual Assault Awareness Month”
WHEREAS, April is nationally designated as Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) – a time to draw attention to the prevalence
of sexual assault and educate individuals and communities about how to prevent it; and
WHEREAS, we know that, in the United States alone, nearly one in five women and one in 67 men have been raped at some time in
their lives and that one in six boys and one in four girls are sexually abused before the age of 18; and
WHEREAS, sexual harassment, assault, and abuse happen in all communities, including online spaces. We are spending more and
more of our lives online, whether for work, school, or entertainment. Unfortunately, with this increase in virtual connection comes an
increase in online abuse and harassment. Consent and boundaries can be violated online in a number of ways, and the trauma of
online abuse is all too real for many survivors; and
WHEREAS, 2021 marks the twentieth anniversary of SAAM, and the National Sexual Violence Resource Center campaign for April
2021 is “We Can Build Safe Online Spaces”; and
WHEREAS, the campaign calls on us to create online spaces that are built on the foundational values of practicing consent, keeping
kids safe, and supporting survivors.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Dublin City Council does hereby proclaim April 2021 as Sexual Assault
Awareness Month in the City of Dublin and encourages all citizens to learn how to create safe and respectful online communities.

WHEREAS, the 2o21 theme for NDLM is the “Garden of Life”; and
WHEREAS, the Donate Life garden depicts an ecosystem of plants, insects, and other components working together to form an

Agenda Item 4.4
DATE:April 6,2021
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM:Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT:First Amendment to the Agreement with CivicPlus for the SeeClickFix
Software
Prepared by: Colleen Tribby, Assistant City Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider approval of a first amendment to the agreement with CivicPlus for
the SeeClickFix software.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving a First Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement with
CivicPlus.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The original agreement with CivicPlus for the SeeClickFix software was not to exceed $42,500. The
amendment to the agreement adds $3,565.33, for a total not-to-exceed cost of $46,065.33. There is
sufficient funding in the Information Technology Fund budget for this agreement. Annual
increases thereafter will be capped at 5% and will be incorporated into future budget cycles.
DESCRIPTION:
Background
On January 22, 2021 the City Manager entered into a Consulting Services Agreement with
CivicPlus for the implementation and maintenance of SeeClickFix, a software application that
provides online access to public issue reporting and robust data analysis. The new application,
which can be accessed through various media or devices, will replace the City’s existing citizen
request tool.
CivicPlus’ SeeClickFix is an industry leader in citizen request and work management solutions. The
application allows photos, videos, and comments to be included with citizen communications to
local agencies and provides a location tool to allow agencies to respond quickly and accurately.
52
Page 2 of 3
CivicPlus cites these other benefits to agencies using SeeClickFix:
Simplifying internal communication & stop using email, spreadsheets, or sticky notes.
Reducing calls with a mobile app and web tools that let citizens report issues on-the-go.
Saving time and money with data driven decisions.
Increasing civic engagement by involving citizens in community dialogue.
Proposed Amendments
Dublin’s agreement with CivicPlus includes licenses for the SeeClickFix software, integration with
the City’s asset management database, a mapping tool for identifying the location of reported
issues, and a City-branded app for mobile devices. The agreement expires January 21, 2022 and
has a not-to-exceed cost of $42,500.
Since the execution of the agreement, Staff have been working with CivicPlus to implement the
software and have identified the need to import past data into the new platform to provide a
greater timespan for querying and reporting. In addition, Staff requested that Dublin’s SeeClickFix
application have single-sign-on capability, meaning that it would integrate with existing City user
account data. CivicPlus provided an additional Statement of Work (Attachment 3) for these new
items, increasing the cost of services by $3,565.33. This pushes the total cost of the agreement
over the $45,000 threshold of City Manager approval, requiring it to be brought to the City Council
for consideration. In conjunction with incorporating the additional services, Staff desires to
further amend the agreement to include automatic one-year renewals, with the annual increases
not to exceed 5%.
Section 2.36.100(B)(4) of the Dublin Municipal Code allows for an exception to the competitive
bidding process “When a contract or purchase involves goods of a technical nature” and the
“Purchasing Agent undertakes a thorough review of known products and a comparison of features
which would most closely meet the city’s needs at the lowest cost.” Staff in the City Manager’s
Office reviewed several similar products and found SeeClickFix to best match the City’s needs
regarding the user experience and data reporting. Furthermore, as the SeeClickFix product is
offered through CivicPlus, the City’s current provider of web content management services, it
integrates seamlessly with City processes.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
Strategy 4: Become a 24/7 City Hall to Enhance Resident and Business Engagement.
Objective C: Enhance citizen online interaction via reporting of issues and transparent data.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
The City Council Agenda was posted.

2) Section 2 shall be rescinded in its entirety and replaced with the following:
COMPENSATION. For the Initial Term, City hereby agrees to pay Consultant a sum
not to exceed Forty Six Thousand Sixty Five dollars and Thirty Three cents

Attachment 2

Page 2 of 3
exceed amount payable in the immediately prior Term, notwithstanding any contrary
indications that may be contained in Consultant's proposal, for services to be
performed and reimbursable costs incurred under this Agreement. In the event of a
conflict between this Agreement and Consultant's proposal, attached as Exhibit A,
regarding the amount of compensation, the Agreement shall prevail. City shall pay
Consultant for services rendered pursuant to this Agreement at the time and in the
manner set forth herein. The payments specified below shall be the only payments
from City to Consultant for services rendered pursuant to this Agreement. Consultant
shall submit all invoices to City in the manner specified herein. Except as specifically
authorized by City in writing, Consultant shall not bill City for duplicate services
performed by more than one person.
Consultant and City acknowledge and agree that compensation paid by City to
Consultant under this Agreement is based upon Consultant's estimated costs of
providing the services required hereunder, including salaries and benefits of
employees and subcontractors of Consultant. Consequently, the Parties further agree
that compensation hereunder is intended to include the costs of contributions to any
pensions and/or annuities to which Consultant and its employees, agents, and
subcontractors may be eligible. City therefore has no responsibility for such
contributions beyond compensation required under this Agreement.
3) Paragraph 10.12 Integration shall be amended to include EXHIBIT A.1 and will now
read as follows:
10.12 Integration. This Agreement, including Exhibits A and A.1, represents
the entire and integrated agreement between City and Consultant and

written or oral.
4) Except to the extent inconsistent with this First Amendment, the Parties ratify and
confirm all of the terms and conditions of the AGREEMENT.
5) All requisite insurance policies to be maintained by the Consultant pursuant to the
Agreement, as may have been amended from time to time, shall include coverage for
the amended term, as described above.
6) The individuals executing this Amendment and the instruments referenced in it on
behalf of Consultant each represent and warrant that they have the legal power, right
and actual authority to bind Consultant to the terms and conditions of this
Amendment.

Agenda Item 4.5
DATE:April 6, 2021
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM:Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT:Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding for the Dublin Place
Shopping Center
Prepared by: Hazel L. Wetherford, Economic Development Director
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider approval of a first amendment to the Memorandum of
Understanding with ASVRF 7300 Amador, LP (successor in interest to ASVRF Acquisitions, LLC),
ASVRF Dublin Place, LP, and ASVRF 6960 Amador LP regarding the Dublin Place Shopping Center.
The Amendment includes a 12-month term extension.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving a First Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding with
ASVRF 7300 Amador, LP, ASVRF Dublin Place, LP, and ASVRF 6960 Amador LP regarding the
Dublin Place Shopping Center.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact associated with the approval of this Amendment.
DESCRIPTION:
On October 15, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 107-19 (Attachment 3) approving a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Dublin and ASVRF Acquisitions, LLC,
ASVRF Dublin Place, LP, and ASVRF 6960 Amador LP for the Dublin Place Shopping Center.
The Dublin Place Shopping Center located in the Retail District of Downtown Dublin contains eight
parcels with two property owners. ASVRF Dublin Place, LP, also known as American Realty
Advisors (ARA), now owns six of the eight parcels. At the time of the initial MOU in September
2019, ARA only owned five of the eight parcels and desired to acquire 7300 Amador Plaza Rd. in
partnership with the City of Dublin.
During that time, the City was working on the development of the Downtown Preferred Vision
81
Page 2 of 3
project and was working with ARA to develop new and more appropriate uses for the Shopping
Center consistent with the City’s Downtown Dublin Specific Plan, and to amend the Covenants,
Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and Reciprocal Easement Agreement (REA) encumbering the
Shopping Center.
The MOU outlined the terms between ARA and the City as it related to the joint commitment of
funds towards the acquisition of 7300 Amador Plaza Rd. As part of the acquisition, the City
contributed $3,000,000 and ARA contributed $3,775,000. The MOU outlined the following
requirements of ARA:
Acquire the other portions of the Shopping Center, and if successful in acquiring the
remaining sites, cooperate in the City’s efforts to site a town square park and sell the City
the necessary acreage as outlined in the MOU;
Identify and create a separate site for the development of an up-to-80-unit affordable
senior housing site;
Obtain termination rights and/or relocation rights within the leases for any future lease(s)
within both the 7950 Amador Valley Blvd. property and 7300 Amador Plaza Rd. property;
Apply for a permit for a new monument signage program which would include a
rebranding effort of the Shopping Center; and
If, during the 18-month period as outlined in the MOU, the City does not approve a higher
and better use of 7505 Dublin Blvd. as part of a larger redevelopment of the Shopping
Center, or if ARA decides that it would be beneficial not to develop 7505 Dublin Blvd. as
part of a larger redevelopment of the Shopping Center, then ARA will obtain a building
permit for the development of 7505 Dublin Blvd.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant impact to owners and tenants of retail
properties, priorities were shifted and substantial delays in negotiations occurred. It is for this
reason that the City and ARA have agreed to extend the MOU for a period of 12 months to April 14,
2022.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
Strategy 1: Implement the City’s Adopted Preferred Vision for Downtown Dublin.
Objective B: Work with property owners on acquisitions that result in the creation of a future
town square.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
The City Council Agenda was posted, and a copy of this Staff Report has been provided to ARA.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
DESCRIPTION:
Background
On June 2, 2015 the City Council adopted a series of resolutions forming the City’s first Community
Facilities District (CFD), in the area now known as Boulevard. The CFD No. 2015-1 (Dublin
Crossing) property is bounded by Dublin Boulevard to the south, Scarlett Drive to the west, Arnold
Road to the east, and Camp Parks property to the north.
At the same meeting, the City Council deemed it necessary for the CFD to incur debt to finance the
construction of certain public capital improvements, secured by the levy of a special tax within the
CFD. The June 2, 2015 Staff Report is included here as Attachment 1.
The financing program is structured to take place in phases related to designated subareas of the
CFD, known as Improvement Areas. Since the CFD formation, as the property has developed and
the infrastructure built, the City has issued two series of bonds on behalf of the CFD; the first on
August 15, 2017 in the amount of $32,740,000 for Improvement Area No. 1, and the second on
June 24, 2019 in the amount of $37,745,000 for Improvement Area No. 2. The total amount of
bonds authorized in the entire CFD is not to exceed $150,000,000. All bonds are secured by and
98

Improvement Areas and are not obligations of the City.
Staff is currently working with the CFD financing team (identified below) to prepare for a third
bond issuance, which will occur in the coming months, and will be brought to the City Council for
authorization.
CFD Team
From 2013 to 2017, Staff assembled, via various Requests for Proposals/Qualifications, a team of
expert consultants to assist in the CFD formation process and subsequent bond sales. This team,
with minor changes noted below, will continue to assist with future bond sales related to the CFD,
via newly executed agreements.

services.
1. Financial Advisor (FA) – Fieldman, Rolapp and Associates (James Fabian)
Assists with all aspects of the proposed CFD formation and serves as ongoing FA on bond
issuances.
2. Bond Counsel / Disclosure Counsel – Jones Hall (David Fama and James Wawrzyniak)

market conditions.
5. Appraiser – Seevers Jordan Ziegenmeyer (Kevin Ziegenmeyer)

Agenda Item 6.2
DATE:April 6, 2021
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Councilmember
FROM:Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT:Zoning Ordinance Amendment to Chapter 8.84 (Sign Regulations) and
Chapter 8.104 (Site Development Review) (PLPA-2017-00018)
Prepared by: Michael P. Cass, Principal Planner
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider a City-initiated Zoning Ordinance Amendment to Chapter 8.84 (Sign
Regulations) and Chapter 8.104 (Site Development Review). The United States Supreme Court
determined that content-based sign regulations violate the First Amendment and are
unconstitutional. Staff is proposing amendments to the City’s Sign Regulations to comply with the
Supreme Court ruling, including modifications to replace content-based regulations and other
non-substantive amendments to provide greater clarity, and companion amendments to ensure
internal consistency within the Zoning Ordinance.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Open the Public Hearing, waive the reading and INTRODUCE the Ordinance amending Chapter
8.84 (Sign Regulations) and Chapter 8.104 (Site Development Review) of the Zoning Ordinance.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
DESCRIPTION:
Background
In Reed v. Town of Gilbert, the United States Supreme Court considered whether local regulations
governing the content of signs in Gilbert, Arizona, violated the First Amendment. The Court found
that the sign regulations were content-based restrictions on free speech and were
unconstitutional. Content-based restrictions are when different types of speech, such as political
or religious speech, are regulated differently from one another. The findings in this case had far
reaching impacts on sign regulations throughout the country. As a result, local jurisdictions have
had to reevaluate their sign regulations to avoid legal challenges. Considering the Court ruling,
110
Page 2 of 5
Staff evaluated the City’s existing Sign Regulations (DMC Chapter 8.84) and determined that
amendments were necessary to replace content-based regulations.
The proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment includes revisions to Chapter 8.84 (Sign
Regulations) to ensure compliance with the Supreme Court decision. The proposed amendments
replace any content-based regulations with those that comply with the Court’s decision. The
proposed amendments seek to retain the intent of existing regulations by replacing content-based
regulations with non-content-based regulations and other non-substantive amendments to
improve the format and organization for clarity and ease of use. The proposed amendments
preserve Dublin’s high-quality-built environment and community appearance while balancing
economic development and aesthetic interests of the community. Staff also proposes minor
amendments to Chapter 8.104 (Site Development Review) to ensure internal consistency within
the Zoning Ordinance.
On March 9, 2021, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the proposed
Zoning Ordinance Amendment and unanimously adopted Resolution No. 21-02 recommending
that the City Council adopt an Ordinance approving amendments to Chapter 8.84 (Sign
Regulations) and Chapter 8.104 (Site Development Review) of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance.
Planning Commission Resolution No. 21-02 is included as Attachment 3.
Analysis
The following is an overview of the proposed amendments to the Sign Regulations (Chapter 8.84)
and Chapter 8.104 (Site Development Review) of the Zoning Ordinance. Please refer to Attachment
2 for a redlined version of proposed changes where underlined text is proposed to be added and
text with a strikethrough is proposed to be deleted.
Amendments to Chapter 8.84 (Sign Regulations):
Content-Based Regulations. The proposed amendments update the definitions and
associated standards to remove any content-based regulation not consistent with the
Court’s decision. Most notably, the terms/definitions of sign types are proposed to be
amended by renaming, eliminating, and combining sign types to eliminate unconstitutional
content-based regulations. For example, Automobile/Vehicle Sales Flags and Seasonal Flags
are reclassified as Flags. The following table summarizes the existing and proposed sign
types when amendments are proposed:
Existing Sign Type Proposed Sign Type
A-Frame Sign, Portable Sign, Sandwich
Board Sign
A-Frame Sign
Business Sign Awning Sign, Wall Sign, Projecting Sign,
Freestanding Sign, etc.

Temporary Political Sign Temporary Non-Commercial Sign
Temporary Promotional Sign Banner Sign
Besides sign type amendments, content-based standards and regulations throughout the Chapter
are also proposed to be amended as summarized below.
Define Undefined Terms. The proposed amendments add definitions for “Mural,” “Non-
Commercial Sign,” “On-Site Sign,” “Off-Site Sign,” “Searchlight,” and “Sign” to provide
clarification for the implementation of Chapter 8.84.
A-Frame Signs. The proposed amendments include establishing development standards for
A-Frame Signs, which were previously prohibited. Permitting A-Frame Signs will serve as
an economic development tool to support local businesses while minimizing the potential
impacts by decreasing the size and quantity of the signs, ensure they do not obstruct
accessible paths, and require professional quality materials and design.
Temporary Signs. The current regulations prescribe different time lengths that certain
temporary signs can be installed based on the content of the sign. Banner Signs for
temporary promotional events are permitted for a maximum of 21 calendar days with a
112
Page 4 of 5
waiting period of 42 consecutive calendar days between displays, while Going-Out-Of-
Business and Grand Opening Signs are permitted for 60 consecutive days. The proposed
amendments eliminate the content-based time restrictions and reclassify those three sign
types as Banner Signs and apply the same time restriction for the display of these signs that
is currently allowed for Temporary Promotional Banners (i.e., display for 21 calendar days
with a waiting period of 42 consecutive calendar days between displays). Apartment
Community Banners (proposed Multifamily Residence Sign) and Balloons retain their time
restriction of up to 10 consecutive days and 21 calendar days respectively.
Political Signs. The proposed amendments reclassify political signs as Temporary Non-
Commercial Signs and eliminate content-based regulations. The existing regulations specify
that the signs must be removed within 10 days following an election with no restriction on
the total number of days that such a sign can be displayed. As that time period is tied to a
content-based requirement, the proposed amendment would limit the display of
Temporary Non-Commercial Signs to a maximum of 60 consecutive calendar days to
balance free speech and aesthetic concerns.
Seasonal Lights and Decorations. The proposed amendments reclassify Holiday Lights and
Decorations as Seasonal Lights and Decorations. The existing regulations specify that the
lights and decorations may be erected no sooner than 45 calendar days before the holiday
and removed within 14 calendar days following the holiday. As that time period is tied to a
content-based requirement, the proposed amendment would limit the display of Seasonal
Lights and Decorations to a maximum of 60 consecutive days, a net increase of one day, to
balance free speech and aesthetic concerns.
Amendments to Chapter 8.104 (Site Development Review):
Approval of a Master Sign Program. Clarifies that a Master Sign Program/Site Development
Review Permit is subject to approval by the Community Development Director consistent
with other signs which require approval of a Site Development Review Permit.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Ordinance included as Attachment 1.
Consistency with General Plan, Specific Plans, and Zoning Ordinance
The Zoning Ordinance Amendments are consistent with the Dublin General Plan and all applicable
Specific Plans in that the amendments are necessary to comply with federal and state laws and are
consistent with applicable land use regulations and development policies. The amendments also
include minor revisions for internal consistency within the Zoning Ordinance.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with State Guidelines and City of
Dublin CEQA Guidelines and Procedures require that certain projects be reviewed for
environmental impacts and that environmental documents be prepared. Projects seeking to
implement the amended provisions of the Sign Ordinance would be subject to separate review
113
Page 5 of 5
under CEQA. Staff recommends the amendments to Title 8 of the Dublin Municipal Code (Zoning
Ordinance) are exempt in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be
seen with certainty that the amendments will not have a significant effect on the environment and
are not subject to CEQA review.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
None.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
In accordance with State law, a public notice was published in the East Bay Times and posted at
several locations throughout the City. Staff also presented the proposed amendments to the
Dublin Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and the Economic Development Committee and
provided an announcement in the Dublin Business Brief, the City’s business community e-
newsletter. Additionally, the City Council Agenda was posted.
