1998-2003 Five-Year Capital Improvement Program.

community group’s/organization’s funding requests should be funded for FY 1998-99; determine
which higher service levels should be funded for FY 1998-99; determine if the Storm Water Fee

that the State takes action to reduce the City’s Vehicle License Fee Revenue or equivalent.
6.3Adoption of Adjustment of Rates for Garbage Collection/Disposal/Recycling Services Provided by
Livermore Dublin Disposal
Current garbage rates became effective July 1, 1997. In accordance with the Agreement with
Livermore Dublin Disposal, the adopted rates were scheduled to be reviewed for a rate adjust-
ment on July 1, 1998. The amount of the allowed adjustment is to be calculated in accordance
with a specific formula. The actual percentage of increase depends on the type of service
received. In all rate categories, the proposed City of Dublin rates are less than the average of
the agencies surveyed. In accordance with the requirements of Proposition 218, approved by
voters in November of 1996, notices were mailed to all parcel owners on May 8, 1998.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Conduct public hearing; deliberate; determine number of any
additional written protests received for the record; adopt Resolution.
6.4Assessment of Basic Garbage/Recycling Services
The annual fee for the cost of Basic Residential Garbage Service is collected on the property
tax bill. The proposed 1998-99 annual assessment is $118.50 per household, which represents
an increase of approximately 3.1% over the assessment levied for 1997-98.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Conduct public hearing; deliberate; determine number of any
additional written protests received for the record; adopt Resolution; direct Staff to prepare
necessary reports to Alameda County Tax Collector.

8.NEW BUSINESS
8.1Adoption of a Revised Appropriations Limit for 1997-98
The 1997-98 Appropriations Limit was calculated and adopted by Resolution No. 86-97 on
June 25, 1997. At the time the Limit was adopted, information was not available related to
one of the optional factors which can be used in the formula which determines the total Limit.
Now that the information is available, it is appropriate for the City Council to consider
adopting a Revised 1997-98 Appropriations Limit. The factors used in the revised calculation
are Change in City Population and Change in Non-Residential Assessed Valuation. The
Revised 1997-98 Limit is $43,075,087 and based on all expenditures subject to the Limit, the
City spending remains well below the maximum allowed.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve selected factors used to calculate the Revised 1997-98
Limit and adopt Resolution.
8.2Adoption of an Appropriations Limit for 1998-99
Each year State Law requires the City to adopt an Appropriations Limit in conjunction with
the annual Budget process. In a separate action, the City Council has considered the adoption
of a Revised Fiscal Year 1997-98 Appropriations Limit. The 1998-99 Appropriations Limit is
calculated by multiplying the adopted Appropriations Limit calculated for the prior year, by a
factor reflecting growth increases. The 1998-99 proposed Limit is $48,700,693 and only
$15,275,805 in 1998-99 Appropriations are subject to this Limit. The factors selected for
calculating the 1998-99 increase were Change in the City Population and Change in Non-
Residential Assessed Valuation.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the selected factors used to calculate the 1998-99
Limit and adopt Resolution.
