This Resolution will approve the agreement between the State of California and the City of Dublin for Dublin's receipt of up to $919,648 for the construction of Dublin Boulevard between Dougherty and Tassajara Roads. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution; authorize Mayor to execute agreement supplements; increase expenditure budget by $573,272 for the Dublin Boulevard extension east of the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way, as well as an equal amount in the revenue account as a pass-through to Pleasanton. 4.3 Opposition to Propositions 166 & 167 Proposition 166, sponsored by the California Medical Association, is being touted by its organizers as health care reform. The Proposition would actually be detrimental to California's economy due to increased financial regula- tions placed on businesses. Proposition 167 contains more than a dozen tax increases, impacting businesses and consumers alike. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolutions opposing Propositions 166 & 167. 4.4 Authorization to Obtain Right-of-Way Services from Alameda County Appraisals and property acquisitions for Federally-funded projects must be performed by a State-certified agency. The City is attempting to obtain Federal ISTEA funds for the Dublin Boulevard widening project, and Alameda County is able to meet the requirement for State Certification. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize Staff to issue a purchase order to Alameda County on a not-to-exceed basis. 4.5 Request for City Council Support for Pervious Concrete Project Submitted for Funding from Alameda County Urban Runoff Clean Water Program (ACURCWP) This pilot project if submitted, grant funded and constructed, would replace a portion of the Shannon Center parking lot with pervious concrete paving over a sand filter. If successful, the project would catch leaves and debris on top of the lot and waterborne pollutants in the sand filter. It is hoped that a successful project could be used in other projects such as gas stations, where surface pollutants wash directly into the storm drain system. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize submittal of and support the project for grant funding; notify ACURCWP Committee. 4.6 Fiscal Year 1992-93 Budget Adjustment Regarding Planning Department Professional Services for Western Dublin Plans The Fiscal Year 1992-93 Planning Department Professional Services budget needs to be adjusted to account for additional costs incurred by WPM in processing the Western Dublin Plans. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize an additional appropriation of $53,755. 4.7 Warrant Register Dated September 28, 1992 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve 5. WRITTEN COMMUNICATION 5.1 Livermore's Request to Consider a Six-Month Delay for the LAFCO Hearing on the Doolan Canyon Area Sphere of Influence The City of Livermore is requesting up to a six-month delay for the LAFCO hearing on the Doolan Canyon area sphere of influence. Such a delay could add substantially to both consultant costs and Staff time. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Consider request and provide direction to Staff. 5.2 Tri-Valley Transportation Council's (TVTC) Request to Extend the Eastern Dublin Draft EIR Comment Period an Additional 45 Days The TVTC is requesting an additional 45-day extension on the Eastern Dublin Draft EIR comment period. Such a delay could jeopardize the LAFCO hearing on the Doolan Canyon area and add substantially to both consultant costs and Staff time. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Consider request and provide direction to Staff. 6. PUBLIC HEARING 6.1 Amendment to Municipal Code Sections related to Traffic Signals, stop Signs, and Yield Signs; Addition of Section regarding Street Closures This action would delegate the approval and installation of a number of traffic control devices to City Staff if minimum warrant criteria is met, resulting in time savings for the Council, Staff and the general public. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Conduct public hearing; deliberate; waive reading and INTRODUCE Ordinance; adopt Resolution. 7. UNFINISHED BUSINESS - None 8. NEW BUSINESS 8.1 Alameda County Congestion Management Plan - Land Use Analysis Program The Alameda County Congestion Management Plan requires the City to adopt a Land Use Analysis Program. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution. 8.2 Alameda County Economic Development Annual Report and Proposed 1992-93 Work Plan The City is a participant in a Countywide Economic Development Program. In accordance with the Joint Agreement, there are provisions for an annual report. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Receive report and provide input as appropriate for consideration by the Mayors' Conference. 8.3 Certification of Referendum Petition as Being Sufficient On September 17, 1992, the City Clerk notified the proponents of the referendum petition related to the Western Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan that it was certified as being sufficient. The City Council now has 3 options: 1) Repeal Resolution No. 88-92 in its entirety; 2) Place the issue on the November, 1994 General Municipal Election ballot; or 3) Call a Special Election, which must be held between 88 and 103 days. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Consider alternatives and provide Staff with direction. If a special election is called, adopt appropriate resolution; approve additional appropriation of $15,500 to the Elections Budget; and appoint member or members of City Council to write ballot argument, if so desired. 8.4 Consideration of City Council Sponsored Initiative Measure to be placed on ballot if special Election is called for Referendum The City Council previously directed Staff to work out the logistics of placing a City Council sponsored initiative measure on the referendum ballot related to the Western Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan. This initiative would add policies to the specific Plan related to views, water, wastewater, open space/wildlife habitat, traffic, financial responsibility, growth phasing, oak trees, public trails, public services and facilities, air quality and schools, and which could only be changed by a vote of the people. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Consider whether or not to add initiative measure to special election ballot and if appropriate, adopt resolution which would supersede previously adopted resolution calling a special election for referendum only. Appoint member or members of City Council to write ballot arguments, if so desired. 9. OTHER BUSINESS 10. CLOSED SESSION - None 11. ADJOURNMENT Agenda Printed September 25, 1992 2:45 PM
