STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve
4.2Amendment to Agreement with MCE Corporation for Public Works Maintenance Services
The City contracts with MCE Corporation for street, park landscape and building maintenance
services. The current agreement is proposed to be amended to provide for cost-of-living labor
rate increases, as well as vehicle and equipment rate increases that are primarily due to fuel
costs and other operating expenses. Some subcontract rates are also proposed to increase.
These rate increases have been taken into consideration when preparing the proposed
operating budget for the upcoming fiscal year.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution approving amendment to agreement and
authorize Mayor to execute.

Services.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution.

Center
The City of Dublin currently has two large scale sculptures on loan from KLMLP, LP
(formerly Kemper Real Estate Management Company). The agreement terms for both
agreements have expired but there are provisions for extension upon written approval of all
parties to the agreements. Both the Dublin Fine Arts Foundation and the KLMLP, LP have
indicated a desire to extend the loans for an additional year.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize Mayor to execute amendments.
4.6Request from Alameda County to Support Radar Enforcement for Commercial Vehicular
Traffic
Because there is a concern that commercial vehicles exceeding the speed limit may contribute
to more frequent and/or more severe accidents on I-580, the City is being asked to support the
use of radar by the CHP for speed limit enforcement for trucks.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution and direct Staff to forward copy to CHP.
4.7Citywide Street Lighting Maintenance Assessment District 83-1: Preliminary Engineer’s
Report
The street lighting assessment district funds the energy and maintenance costs for the City’s
street lighting system. This item would approve the Preliminary Engineer’s Report and set a
public hearing date (July 21) for the levy of assessments. The assessment is not proposed to
increase over the amount of last year’s assessment.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolutions.
4.8Landscaping & Lighting Maintenance Assessment District 83-2 (Stagecoach Road):
Preliminary Engineer’s Report
This assessment district maintains landscaping along Stagecoach road and on the interior
slopes of Agate Way and Coral Way. This action would approve the Preliminary Engineer’s
Report and set a public hearing date (July 21) for the levy of assessments. The assessment is
not proposed to increase above the 1997-98 level.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolutions.
4.9Landscaping & Lighting Maintenance Assessment District 86-1 (Dougherty Road):
Preliminary Engineer’s Report
This assessment district provides for maintenance of certain landscaping improvements
associated with the Villages at Willow Creek development. This action would approve the
Preliminary Engineer’s Report and set a public hearing date (July 21) for the levy of

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolutions.
4.10Landscaping Maintenance Assessment District 97-1 (Santa Rita Area): Preliminary
Engineer’s Report
This assessment district funds maintenance of certain landscaping improvements in the City’s
Santa Rita development area. The proposed action would approve the Preliminary Engineer’s
Report for Fiscal Year 1998-99 and set a public hearing date (July 21) for the levy of
assessments. The balance remaining in this assessment district is sufficient to fund the
estimated 1998-99 maintenance costs; therefore, a zero assessment is recommended for this
year.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolutions.
4.11Declaration of Surplus Property
The City has received a request from Schuler Homes, developer of the vacant property on
Starward Drive north of the Shamrock Village Shopping Center, to purchase a small piece of
excess San Ramon Road right-of-way. This action would begin the process by declaring the
excess right-of-way as surplus and authorizing Staff to negotiate with Schuler Homes. City
Council approval would be required to finalize the purchase at a future meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution and authorize Staff to begin the process for
sale of excess right-of-way.
4.12Amendment to Agreement with Zumwalt Engineering Group for Public Works
Engineering Services
This proposed amendment provides for a rate increase and a one-year term extension for the
existing agreement with Zumwalt Engineering for consulting engineering services. The
services provided are primarily related to private development and the cost is therefore paid by
developers. A not-to-exceed amount of $500,000 is recommended for Fiscal Year 1998-99.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution.
4.13Annual Review of Development Agreements for California Creekside PA 95-048

conditions of the Development Agreement. California Creekside, located in Eastern Dublin at
Hibernia and Dublin Boulevard, contains 154 single family dwelling units which are now all

the pool and landscaping within the project are complete. Landscaping along Dublin

with the terms and provisions of the Development Agreement.
4.14Update of City of Dublin’s Progress in Meeting AB 939 Diversion Goals for Solid Waste
AB 939, the state legislation that mandates diversion goals for solid waste in the State of
California, requires a 25% diversion by the year 1995 and a 50% diversion by the year 2000.
The State recently conducted an audit which showed that the City’s diversion rate for 1996
was incorrect. It should have been 35% instead of the 26% that was previously calculated.
The City’s calculated diversion rate for 1997 is 42.44%, which is 17.44% above the current
25% goal.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Receive Report.
