Applications
The City of Dublin's allocation for next fiscal year's CDBG program funding is $90,809. From
this allocation, an advance funding of $16,724 has already been approved for completing
handicapped accessibility improvements for Mape Memorial Park. The City Council will
consider funding one additional City application (handicap sidewalk ramp improvements) and
three non-City applications (Arroyo Vista Child Development Center, Valley Community
Health Center-Senior Support Program and the Arroyo Vista Project Improvements). Once
the City Council decides what projects will receive funding, the appropriate applications will be
forwarded to the Alameda County Housing and Community Development Department for
processing.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Direct Staff to submit applications for $90,809 in CDBG
funding for FY 1997-98.
8.2Resolution on Affordability by Design, Affordable Housing Agreement for Kaufman &
Broad California Creekside Development and Policy for Issuance of Building Permits
This Resolution will establish that inclusionary units are affordable by design, and the
Affordable Housing Agreement establishes how affordable housing will be provided or in-lieu
fees paid. Direction from the Council will also be provided on collection of in-lieu fees for all
units prior to issuance of building permits until such time as the Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance
is amended.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution finding certain units in the California
Creekside project affordable by design at moderate income levels; authorize City Manager to
execute Affordable Housing Agreement; direct that until such time as the Ordinance is amended,
Staff collect the in-lieu fee for each dwelling unit being built at the time of issuance of the building
permit.
8.3City Participation in Dublin Pride Week and acceptance of Gift to the City
Dublin Pride Week is an annual event to instill community pride and encourage clean-up
efforts. An ad-hoc City Council sub-committee has been working with community
representatives, including the school district, local businesses and service organizations, to plan
activities for Dublin Pride Week, March 22-29, 1997. City funding of $4,000 has been
budgeted for activities. In addition, Livermore Dublin Disposal has generously donated $2,500
to support Dublin Pride Week activities.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve City participation not to exceed $4,000; accept gift
and direct Staff to prepare formal acknowledgment to Livermore Dublin Disposal.
8.4Fiscal Year 1996-97 Mid-Year Budget Report
A Financial Report has been prepared analyzing revenues and expenditures through
December 31, 1996. Staff has also examined areas where budget adjustments are required
based upon results during the first half of the fiscal year. The overall budget in the General
Fund remains balanced with all expenditures projected to be funded from current year
revenues.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Receive Report and approve Budget Change form.
8.5Analysis of Issues Related to Implementation of Proposition 218
At the November 1996 election, voters approved Proposition 218, which was supported by the
Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association (HJTA). The measure was a Constitutional Amendment
which makes significant changes to the imposition and collection of taxes, assessments, and
property related fees. The services to be included in the NPDES fee are proposed to be
reduced resulting in less cost to the property owner. Staff has reviewed the need to consider a
$10 special tax to support emergency medical services. A typical Single Family household
would experience an estimated 2.1% ($0.64) decrease in total annual City-wide assessments
and fees.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Consider directing Staff to prepare a ballot measure providing
for a Special Tax of $10 per household, to be placed on the June Ballot. The tax will provide for
Emergency Medical Services, provided by the contract Fire Service provider in the City of Dublin.
Freeze all Landscaping and Lighting assessments at the rates authorized in FY 1996-97. Proceed
with mailed public notices regarding both garbage fees and NPDES fees. The NPDES fees are
anticipated to be approximately 50% of the fee collected in 1996-97, due to the inclusion of only
refuse and administrative costs.
