DESCRIPTION: The development of Area A in Dublin Ranch necessitated the
construction of a fire station (Station 18) within Eastern Dublin to serve the area. The Master Vesting
Tentative Map for Area A included several conditions, including one that required DR Acquisitions,
L.L.c. to construct, equip, and dedicate a new fire station to the City.
It was anticipated that the operation of the new fire station would add significant additional operational
costs to the City, which could result in a deficit between the revenues generated and the costs of providing
services to Eastern Dublin. To that end, the Master Vesting Tentative Map also included a condition that
required DR Acquisitions to enter into an agreement with the City to fund the difference between the
revenues generated in and the costs of providing services to Eastern Dublin. The agreement requires DR
Acquisitions, L.L.C. to fund 100% of the deficit between the costs and revenues from the date of opening
(July 1, 2003) until June 30, 2010. The agreement was approved by the City Council in October 2001 (see
Attachment 1).
Staff contacted MuniFinancial, Inc. to request a proposal to update the Eastern Dublin fiscal impact
analysis. MuniFinancial has completed the previous Eastern Dublin analyses and has completed several
fiscal analyses for the City, including the Fire Impact Fee and Transit Center Fiscal Study.
MuniFinancial's proposal (see Attachment 3) includes an update to the Eastern Dublin Fiscal model and
an analysis of the revenues and expenditures in eastern Dublin. MuniFinancial has proposed to complete
the work within one hundred twenty (120) days from the receipt of all relevant information for an amount
not to exceed $25,000.

THIS AGREEMENT dated for identification this dL day of October, 2001, Is
entered into by and between the City of Dublin, a municipal corporation, ("the City") and
DR Acquisitions, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability corporation ("Developer;.
Recitals
1. In 1993, the City Council of the City adopted the Eastern Dublin General Plan
Amendment and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan ("the Specific Plan"). The Specific Plan
provides a planning framework for the future growth and development of approximately
3,300 acres (collectively, '1he Specific Plan Area"). .
2.. The General Plan and the Specific Plan. include goals and policies to prevent
development within the Eastern Extended Planning Area and the Specific Plan Area
(hereinafter collectively "Eastern Dublinj from drawing upon and diluting the fiscal base
of the remainder of the City. . .
. 3. The Developer owns certain property ra portion of Dublin Ranch Area An) .
. within the SpecifiC Plan Area described more particularJy in Exhibit A. which is
incorporated herein by reference. In July of 2000, the City approved a Master Vesting
Tentative Map for Dublin 'Ranch Area A to divide the 369 +/- acre parcel into 12
separate parcels of various uses, including 7 parcels .for residential use that would be
subsequently subdivided by subsequent tentative maps.
4. As part of the annexation of the territory 1hat includes Dublin Ranch Area A,
the Uns, Developer's predecessor in interest, agreed to recompense the City for the
deficit between the costs of providing servrces to the newly annexed territory and the
revenue generated within the. territory annexed to the City. Pursuant to that agreement"
the Lins payment obligations terminated on June 30,1999 when revenues generated to
the City within the territory exceeded the costs of providing services to the territory.

5. Pursuant to the conditions of approval of the Master Vesting Tentative Map
for Dublin Ranch Area A (City of Dublin Planning Commissiol1 Resolution No. 00-36),
Developer is required, prior to the completion of a Certain number of residential units
within Dublin Ranch Area A, to construct and dedicate a new fire station and to provide
funding for apparatus necessary to operat~ the facility.
6. When the new facility becomes operational, it is estimated that the cost of
providing public services to the Eastern Dublin Area may again exceed revenues
generated to the City from property within the Eastern Dublin Area'.
7. Accordingly, Condition No. 109 of Resolution 00-36 (for the Master Vesting
Tentative Map) further requires the Developer to enter into an agreement with the City,
prior to the recordation of the master final map for Dublin Ranch Area A, to fund the
difference between the revenues generated in and the costs associated with services to
. the Eastern Dublin Area, as defined below, commencing upon the new fire station
becoming operational.
8. The conditions of approval further obligate the City to consider a fair and
. appropriate way of reimbursing Developer for some of the amounts paid to the City
pursuant to the agreement, including requiring owners of property within the E~stern
Dublin General Plan area whq seek City approval of development entitlements to pay a
fair and proportionate share of the amount of the deficit paid by Developer. For
instance, pursuant to an annexation agreement, the developer of a property known as
the Quarry Lane School has agreed to pay the City 0.42% of the deficit.
9. As new development occurs within the Eastern Dublin Area as anticipated, it.
will generate revenues to the City that will reduce and, in the near future, eliminate the"
above-described deficit. .
10. Consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan and Specific Plan,.
and the requirements of the conditions of approval of the Master Vesting Tentative Map;
Developer and CitY wish to enter into an agreement to assure the City that the
Developer will fund the deficit between revenues and costs for the Eastern Dublin Area.

Section 5. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONSULTANT'S RESPONSIBILITIES. Consultant shall
indemnify, defend with counsel selected by the City, and hold harmless the City and its officials, officers,
Consulting Services Agreement between
City of Dublin and MuniFinancial
December 19, 2006
Page 7 of 14
employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all losses, liability, claims, suits, actions,
damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to
property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole
or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Consultant or its employees,
subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character
of their work. The foregoing obligation of Consultant shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage
to property, or violation of law arises wholly from the negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its
officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Consultant or its employees,
subcontractor, or agents have contributed in no part to the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or
violation of law. It is understood that the duty of Consultant to indemnify and hold harmless includes the
duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance by City of insurance
certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Consultant from liability
under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall
apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance policies shall have been
determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement, Consultant acknowledges and agrees to the
provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration.
In the event that Consultant or any employee, agent, or subcontractor of Consultant providing services
under this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees
Retirement System (PERS) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of City, Consultant shall
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions
for PERS benefits on behalf of Consultant or its employees, agents, or subcontractors, as well as for the
payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions, which would otherwise be the responsibility of
City.

Re: MuniFinancial Proposal to the City of Dublin to Complete the Eastern Dublin
Fiscal Study
Dear Mr. Foss:
As requested, MuniFinancial is pleased to submit this proposal to complete the Eastern Dublin
Fiscal Study. This letter is to confirm the scope and budget for this engagement.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The scope of services for this engagement by task is described in detail below.
TASK 1: UPDATE EAST DUBLIN FISCAL IMPACT MDDELS
The purpose of this task is to update the Eastern Dublin fiscal impact models for the FY
2006-07 budget. The overall approach and methodology of the models will remain
essentially unchanged from the FY 2003-04 update. Enhancements to that update will
include:
· Case study analysis of public safety costs; and
· Detailed analysis of sales tax and property tax.
In particular, the fiscal impact model will retain the approach that credits all retail sales tax
revenue to East Dublin retail development only. No credit is given to other land use types
regardless of their spending patterns either within East Dublin or in the remainder of the
City. This approach has two effects on model results. First, excluding sales tax from
spending by East Dublin residents and businesses in the remainder of the City
underestimates the overall net fiscal impact of East Dublin on the City, though this
underestimation is probably minimal. Second, within East Dublin the net fiscal impact of
non-retail land uses is underestimated and the impact of retail land uses is overestimated.
Assumptions in the models that will be updated as part of this task are described below:
· City staff will update the following data:
Provide two updated East Dublin land use absorption scenarios. The land use
scenario will allocate absorption between the Santa Rita/Emerald Glen area and the
remainder of East Dublin. Existing development should be updated to July 1, 2006,
with absorption through 2030 for each land use type. See Tables Ai through A3 in
the appendix of the prior reports.
Provide updated residential and employment estimates for the City of Dublin. If this

information is unavailable MuniFinancial will utilize the California Department of
Finance for current population estimates and ABAG for residential and employment
projections.
Provide updated actual sales tax generated in both the Santa Rita/Emerald Glen area
and the remainder of East Dublin for FY 2005-06.
Provide actual property tax estimates for both the Santa Rita/Emerald Glen area and
the remainder of East Dublin for FY 2005-06.
Provide projection for public safety costs for FY 2006-07 and into the future.
· MuniFinancial will update the following revenue and cost assumptions:
Per unit property value assumptions based on a review of recent sales from assessor
roll data, and input from City staff, developers, and real estate brokers;
All per capita revenue and cost assumptions to FY 2005-06 budget data;
Per square foot retail sales tax assumptions based on input from the County and
other fiscal consultants; and
Transient occupancy tax assumptions (room and occupancy rates) based on input
from hotel managers.
TASK 2: ANALYZE FISCAL IMPACT OF LAND USE SCENARIOS
MuniFinancial will analyze the fiscal impact of the land use scenario using the updated
models. The models will be calibrated to reflect current sales tax and property tax within
Santa Rita/Emerald Glen and the remainder of East Dublin. We will present preliminary
results to City staff for discussion.
TASK 3: DRAFT REPORT AND ATTEND MEETINGS
Based on the results of the prior tasks, we will provide the City with updated reports that
describe the fiscal impact of development in East Dublin on the City. The fiscal impact
report will compare the impacts of the two land use scenarios. We will prepare
administrative draft reports for staff review and based on comments received prepare final
reports.
This task includes up to two meetings with City staff, developers, and the Council to gather
data, review preliminary results and administrative drafts, and present the final report.
STAFFING
Robert D, Spencer Principal Consultant of our Financial Consulting Services Group will be the
principal-in-charge with responsibility for ensuring that the final product meets or exceeds your
expectations. Mr. Jeff Kay will be the project manager for this engagement with responsibility
for completing all work and keeping the project within budget and on schedule.
SCHEDULE
\X7e will provide an administrative draft report within 120 days of receiving all updated
assumptions from City staff noted in Task 1. We will provide a final report after receiving
comments on the administrative draft from the City.
