Dublin Pride Pro,iects There were several individuals and organizations in the City that volunteered significant time and resources to community clean up and beautification projects. The following "Make a Difference in Dublin" projects were completed as part of the 2003 Dublin Pride Week events: E-Waste and Hazardous Waste Collection Event: This event officially kicked off Dublin Pride Week, and was the first time the City of Dublin has hosted this event. The clean up had over 350 pre-registered residents, who in turn brought in 38,580 pounds of E-Waste and 31,049 pounds of Hazardous Waste materials. The breakdown of the collections are as follows: - Industrial Surplus Foundation was able to reuse 7,000 pounds of the e-waste collection that will be refurbished and put back in to use by the local community. - Recycle America, a subdivision of Waste Management, was able to retrieve the TVs - 13,795 pounds - Low Grade Breakage (computer equipment, phones, stereos, etc.)- 8,116 pounds - Monitors- 9,669 pounds - Household Hazardous Waste - 31,049 pounds Senior Projects: There were twelve volunteers that made up the Senior Projects Team and they were able to assist eight (8) senior homes with a variety of sweat equity that ranged from cleaning windows to minor home repair.

Canned Food Drive: The Canned Food Drive was another new addition to Dublin Pride Week activities. The major force in the success of this activity is credited to Robbie Kreitz and Alyson Marvin, Special Education Instructors at Wells Middle School, and the Dublin Girl Scouts. The canned food drive supplied close to four van loads of can food that was delivered to Children's Emergency Council. Creek Clean-Up: There were over 100 volunteers made up of students, residents and Dublin Lions Club members who worked at several creeks throughout the City of Dublin. Volunteers were given Dublin Creek Clean-up tee-shirts and were treated to a barbeque provided by the City and Dublin Lion's Club.

In recognition of their outstanding efforts, these individuals and groups will be presented with Certificates of Appreciation for their support of the 2003 Dublin Pride Week event. 2003 Dublin Pride Partners The increased events for 2003 Dublin Pride Week could not have been accomplished without the City's key partners: Waste Management Dublin Chamber of Commerce - Tri-Valley Herald - Dublin Unified School District .- Dublin San Ramon Services District - Zone 7 Water Agency - Dublin Lions Club - Imprint Works These Dublin Pride Partners will be recognized by City Council with a Certificate of Appreciation and a framed 2003 Dublin Pride Poster. Community Rose Garden The 2003 Dublin Pride Committee came up with the idea of creating a Community Rose Garden at Emerald Glen Park near the Tennis Courts. There was a donation of $25 per rosebush, which allowed the rose garden to be a cost covering activity. The goal planting 100 rosebushes by the end o£ Dublin Pride Week and that goal was exceeded by 20%. There are 120 rosebushes (see attachment 2) in place and Dublin-based company 3J's Gift Boutique is supplying the rose identification at no charge. Each rosebush donor will be receiving a Rose Certificate to thank them for their donation. In closing, Staff recommends that the City Council receive the report and formally recognize poster contest and tee-shirt design winners, volunteers/organizations, Dublin Pride Partners, and Community Rose Garden donors. 120 - Rose Bush Orders as 5/22/03 1 The Haubert Family 37 Dublin Senior Center Foundation 2 Dublin Unified School District 38 Dublin Trophy House A1 & Linda White & Jeff Salinas 3 Swalwell Family 39 Lydia Justice 4 In Memory of Skip Andreasen 40 Cole Bascom (purchased by David & Toni Rimer) 5 Kay Keck 41 Katie Sue Connally 6 Keeley & Jillian Holman 42 Hunt & Patti Bascom 7 Denis, Kim & Caitlin King 43 In Memory of Robin Fall by Gaylene Burkett 8 Siw E.
