Request for Continued Funding - Green Business Program FY 2006/2007 Dear Council Members: Thank you for the City's support of the Alameda County Green Business Program during past years. Since 1996, the GBP has built partnerships, attracted state and local funding, certified over 200 Green Businesses (including six in Dublin), l'lelped establish Green Business Programs in other areas, assisted with the establishment of the Tri-Valley Sustainable Business Alliance, and promoted Green Businesses to the public. In the next year, the Program will continue these activities and will hold a partnership planning meeting and increase our work with local agencies to 'green' and certify their operations. Our activities benefit businesses and local agencies by assisting them in environmental compliance and resource conservation, saving them time and money and improving workplace safety Our activities benefit Dublin residents by giving them environmentally sound government operations & vendor choices and helping businesses iocated near residential areas to operate compliant, clean businesses. In 2005 we worked with the Aiameda County Heavy Equipment Building and a home-based business on becoming certified for the first time. We also recertified existing Green Businesses at the end of their 3-year cycle. The GBP is asking your City to support this partnership with a contribution of $3,000 Your sponsorship enables us to forge a more positive relationship between government and industry, increase coordination among reguiatory programs, improve environmental quality and promote environmentally responsible consumerism. Funds for the Program will be paid through Association of Bay Area Governments' BALANCE Foundation, a non-profit fiscal agent, tax ID 94-305-8005. The mailing address is POBox 2050, Oakland CA 94607-2050 I have enclosed additional information about the Program. You may contact me at 510.567 6770 or Pamele.evans@acaov.ora with any questions.

We are requesting that the City of Dublin again contribute $25,000 to the Vision 2010 Project to support our Fiscal Year 2000/2007 Prograul. We are currently at a critical point in our Fiscal Year 2005/2006 Program. We have received the database oftirms in the Tri-Valley. We have developed a survey to query companies in the fnformatiun Technology, BioHeallh and Innovation Services clusters. Next week a team ofMBA students from DC DavIs will initiate a pilot survey of I1rms in the Information Technology cluster that will involve au on line survey as well as a telephone survey o('CEO's. They will bave a draft of the results by February 10. Using the experience oflhe pilot survey we will then conduct surveys in the RwHealth and Innovation Services clusters. The surveys are deSIgned to provide information on who the~e companies are, what they do, and what they need to prosper and grow With tbis in/ormation, we will develop recommendations /i,r regional ceonomic strategie~, policies ,md programs. We will also begin to move forward with our recommendations to the Tri- Valley Executive Roundtable to develop a strategy to establish the Tri-Valley as a Center of Innovation and bntrepreneurship. The survey results will also providc key information for the development of programs for our Innovators Network. The survey results aud action recommcndations will fonn the basis of our Fiscal Year 2006/2007 Vision Program aud our proposed budget. We expect to have the preliminary results of all of the surveys and recommended programs completed by Fehruary 28. This will enable us to develop our proposed Fiscal Year 2006!2007 Vision Prob>Talll and associated costs. We will have tbis report and the Fiscal Year 2005/2006 Closing Report by March 3, 2006. We believe the survey rcsults and associated economic strategies, policies and program recommcndations will provide significant bend1ts to tbe City of Dublin. We hope that your budget process will allow for the delay in providing the information rcquested in you December 27, 2005 lettcr As stated above, we will submit the requested rcports by March 3, 2006.
