The meeting was called to order at 7:37 p.m., by Mayor Moffatt. ROLL CALL PRESENT: ABSENT: Councilmembers Hegarty, Jeffery, Snyder, Vonheeder and Mayor Moffatt. None. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE The Mayor led the Council, Staff and those present in the pledge of allegiance to the flag. PROCLAMATION Mayor Moffatt read a proclamation declaring the month of July as "Parks and Recreation Month" and urged citizens of Dublin to use. and enjoy the City's parks, taking into consideration their beneficial effect to the well being of all. ALAMEDA COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM City Manager Ambrose introduced Bruce Kern, who made a slide presentation and gave a report related to the development of an Alameda County Economic Development Program. The slide presentation looked at local government's ability to respond to changes. Mr. Kern highlighted 2 recent events. The passage of Measure A on the June ballot would have potentially resulted in the close down of the .Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. The second issue related to the important issue of growth management.. AB 4242 would, remove from local control, the ability to monitor land use opportunities. Mr. Kern advised that effective in September his job responsibilities will be devoted entirely to the economic health of the community. All of his other relationships with the County will be severed so that he can work on economic development issues. Mr. Ambrose advised that he sat on the subcommittee that presented the report to the Alameda County Mayors' Conference. Mr. Ambrose presented some background information and advised that in 1989, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors formed the Alameda County Ad Hoc Economic Development Committee with its primary focus to study and make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors regarding how the County could improve economic development within the County. The Committee's report was approved in principal by the Board of @*@*@*@*@*@*@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@, CM - VOL 9 - 161 Regular Meeting June 25, 1990 Supervisors in February, 1990. The plan was then referred to the Alameda County City Managers' Association and the Alameda County Mayors' Conference for review and comment. The City Managers had concerns related to the imbalance of the structure proposed for the Economic Development Advisory Board and the fact that the County had major assets to develop, yet the County would be responsible for coordinating the marketing of various properties on a Countywide basis. In April, 1990, the City Managers' Association prepared a report to the Board of Supervisors requesting that no action be taken on the plan at this time. Several other recommendations were incorporated into the final plan which was submitted to the Board of Supervisors in May, 1990. Mr. Ambrose stated that Staff believes that the plan provides a number of opportunities to improve the County's and the Cities' competitive- ness over the long term in the area of economic development. The plan proposes a long term objective of convening an Ad Hoc Growth Management Task Force, but as presently worded, this Task Force role is fairly vague and undefined. The cost of the program would require the City's Planning Department and City Manager's Office to participate and an annual contribution for the next 4 years. The 1990-91 maximum contribution is proposed to be $11,471. The City Managers' Association is reconsidering the cost sharing formula for the Cities' participation in the program and it is possible that a revised formula would be developed that may reduce the City's cost to participate. Mr. Ambrose advised that Staff also still has some qUestions regarding the long term objectives. Staff has not yet seen an agreement. The County is initiallY asking for a 4-year commitment. Cm. Jeffery asked if this would preclude Dublin as a City from doing its own economic development plan. Mr. Ambrose stated that it would not. Cm. Jeffery mentioned that under the section listing utilities, not all of the utilities are named. Mr. Kern indicated they were aware of this. Ail of the utility companies will participate even though they are not listed. They did not intend to leave anyone out. Cm. Jeffery questioned how the marketing would work. Mr. Kern advised that they are working on a number of ideas. They haVe a marketing committee being formed. Each city will be able to use the general information. PG&E and the telephone company will be paying for the marketing. Cm. Hegarty felt this appeared to be a step toward regional planning. He expressed concern that the largest land owner in Dublin is actually @*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@, CM - VOL 9 - 162 Regular Meeting June 25, 1990 Alameda County. Dublin has done battle with the County over certain land issues and he felt Dublin should proceed very cautiously with this. He stated the outcome of certain legal matters will have an impact on how he feels about this proposal. Cooperation is needed, but at the same time, this City Council must look after the best interest of the City of Dublin. Cm. Hegarty felt the Port of Oakland has a great deal to do with the economic vitality of this county and they have a very serious problem. Mayor Moffatt stated with regard to the first year objectives, he hoped this will be a mechanism to allow disagreement. Mr. Kern felt there is a lot of dialogue that needs to happen. By a consensus, the Council agreed to the concept of the economic development plan and authorized Staff to work with Alameda County toward the development of an agreement. Sound System in Council chambers Mr. Scuitemaker advised that he felt the sound system in the Council Chambers was not adequate. Several times, he had been unable to hear comments made by the Council or Staff. CONSENT CALENDAR On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder, and by unanimous vote, the Council took the following actions: Approved Minutes of Regular Meeting of June 11, 1990; Appropriated 1989-90 unappropriated revenue to each fund's reserves for authorized projects; Adopted RESOLUTION NO. 75 - 90 DECLARING INTENTION TO ISSUE BONDS FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING FINANCING FOR CERTAIN PUBLIC STREET IMPROVEMENTS & AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 32-90 Accepted a gift of $200 from the Women's Club of Dublin designated for use at the Senior Center and directed Staff to prepare a formal acknowledgment to the donor; Adopted RESOLUTION NO. 76 - 9~ AUTHORIZING DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO SIGN APPLICATION FOR STATE-LOCAL PARTNERSHIP FUNDS (SB 300) @*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@, CM - VOL 9 Regular Meeting J~ne 25, ~990 Approved Warrant Register in the amount of $727,695.99; With regard to 1989-90 budget adjustments, 1) authorized a transfer of $109,409 from the General Fund contingent Reserve account to satisfy the budget increases needed in Police, Finance and part of the City Attorney's budget; 2) appropriated $55,461 from the General Fund balance to satisfy the remaining amount needed in the City Attorney's budget; 3) appropriated $1,087 from the San Ramon Road Assessment District fund balance for the operating costs incurred that will exceed the amoUnt budgeted; and 4) appropriated $8,643 from the Internal Service Fund for depreciation charges and maintenance costs incurred. Cm. Hegarty felt it should be pointed out to the public that the above item related to appropriation of additional funds for the City Attorney's budget was due to the increased frequency of litigation and the need on the part of the City for legal representation to protect Dublin's interests. This was not due to any increase in their billing rates. Cm. Snyder asked how the price for Police vehicles relates to the state's bid for CHP vehicles. He questioned if the bids were opened before or after the state bid was awarded to Ford. Mr. Molina stated he did not know what the actual bid price was on the state vehicles, and could not answer Cm. Snyder's questions. Mr. Ambrose advised that the cars are purchased with money from the Internal Service Fund. The older cars are breaking down. The bid price should be good for the next 30 days, so Staff could research this and answer the questions at the next Council meeting. The Council agreed to have the item related to purchasing 3 fuel injected Ford Crown Victorias (including 3 year maintenance) from Shamrock Ford of Dublin at a total cost of $45,853.02 continued to the next meeting. PUBLIC HEARING-DONLAN CANYON PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PA 89-125 PREZONING, TENTATIVE MAP & ANNEXATION REQUEST FOR 196+ ACRES Mayor Moffatt opened the public hearing. Senior Planner O'Halloran advised that this PD Prezoning, Tentative Map and Annexation request is for 17 custom single-family lots on 10+ acres, 300 condominium/apartments on 16+ acres and 170+ acres of open space/parkland. Michael Gleason stated his family had owned the property since the mid 1960's. He gave an overview of the project. A Zone 3 water tank would serve their project as well as the Hansen Hills Ranch project and other homes in west Dublin. @*@*@*@*@*@*@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@, CM - VOL 9 - 164 Regular Meeting June 25, 1990 George Thomas with the Paragon Group indicated that everyone had worked very hard on this project for several years. They are developing the multi-family units. Ms. O'Halloran advised that with regard to the Environmental Review, the Initial Study incorporates by reference the earlier EIR certified by the City Council on August 14, 1989, and mitigation monitoring program prepared for the General Plan Amendment and found that there would not be any significant effects on the environment. Mr. Gleason stated that the traffic mitigations were outlined in a Memo from TJKM dated September 27, 1989, which indicates their share of the mitigation costs. Similar mitigation measures were adopted by Hansen Hills Ranch project. They worked with the Department of Fish & Game and also plan a 3 for 1 replacement of trees. Cm. Hegarty stated he knew they had worked very hard to do everything possible, but his biggest concern is that they are trying to fit the project to the road. What level of traffic will there be on Dublin Boulevard when the project is completed, as well as when Hansen Hill Ranch is completed? With regard to the landscaping plan, Cm. Hegarty expressed concern related to trees that have been lost in the City. We must take someone's word that excavating around certain trees will not harm them. The City should make sure they take every care possible to preserve the trees. The large oak tree which was lost last year on San Ramon Road was very unfortunate for the whole City. Mr. Gleason advised that their development is planned in an area where there are no large oak trees. With regard to traffic, he pointed out that it is the City's consultant that did the plan. The City requires that it must meet certain levels of acceptance. Dublin Boulevard will be widened to meet the necessary standards. It allows for substantial development to occur on west by Eden Development. Mr. Thompson advised that the EIR report discusses improvements to be made to the intersection of Dublin Boulevard @ Silvergate Drive. Dublin Boulevard will be widened by filling in the slope on the Hexcel side. Mr. Gleason pointed out that Condition #58 on Page 9 addressed the roadway widening. Mayor Moffatt closed the public hearing on this portion of the discussion. On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Snyder, and by unanimous vote, the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 77 - 90 ADOPTING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE FOR PA 89-125 DONLAN CANYON @*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@, CM - VOL 9 - 165 Regular Meeting June 25, 1990 Ms. O'Halloran advised that the proposed PD District regulations are similar to the R-1 District and to existing multi-family PD Districts in the City. The Prezoning is appropriate for the site in that the proposed provisions are consistent with the City's General Plan land use designations and policies. Cm. Snyder questioned if recycling containers would be given to all units. Ms. O'Halloran advised that the actual locations will be determined at the Site Development Review level. Mr. Thomas gave a brief description of the multi-family portion of the project and advised that they have adopted the practice of recycling container locations at all their other projects. The location would most likely be where they can drive by on their way out of the project. In addition, they have discussed picking up residents recyclables as an amenity to the residents. There are 300 units and it is a difficult site plan to get everything to work. They want everything to be convenient, thus there are 2 recreation areas. They recognize that the trees are a major marketing tool for them so they will be taking extra precautions to preserve them. The style is somewhat of a Cape Cod New England style. Mayor Moffatt asked if there are facilities for the handicapped. Mr. Thomas advised that there are state guidelines, plus local ordinances that they must follow. Cm. Hegarty questioned if the spa would be outdoors. Mr. Thomas responded that it would be outdoors and this is a major amenity which is almost a necessity. Cm. Hegarty felt this should be closely monitored because of a prior PD incident where the City's Planning Director took a lot of flack when someone wanted to remove one. Ms. O'Halloran advised that the PD does not specifically require a spa at this stage. Mr Gleason advised that they had done a computerized viSual analysis of the site as viewed from 1-580. Noel Kennedy and Zack Ryman showed visual computer images. Mr. Kennedy stated that his company does general consulting using computers to do thorough computer analyses related to visual impacts. Cm. Hegarty questioned why DUblin doesn't require the water tanks to be buried instead of putting them on the hillside. Mr. Tong advised that he had met with DSRSD and they have indicated that they will be much more sensitive in the future regarding screening of these tanks. @*@*@*@*@*@*@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@, CM - VOL 9 - 166 Regular Meeting June 25, 1990 Mary Beth Acuff, a Via Zapata resident questioned what guarantees there were that the open space would remain open space. Ms. O'Halloran advised that the General Plan has the area designated as open space. There are also requirements that open space area be provided for in deed restrictions. In order for this to change, it would require a General Plan amendment with public hearings before the Planning Commission as well as the City Council Mayor Moffatt closed the public hearing on this portion of the discussion. On motion of Cm. Snyder, seconded by Cm. Jeffery, and by unanimous vote, the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 78 - 90 APPROVING AND ESTABLISHING FINDINGS AND GENERAL PROVISIONS FOR A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (PD) PREZONING CONCERNING PA 89-125 DONLAN CANYON and waived the reading and INTRODUCED an Ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance to permit the prezoning of real property located north of the western terminus of Dublin Boulevard. Ms. O'Halloran advised that the required parkland dedication is 2.887 acres or in-lieu fees or a combination may be provided instead. Dedication of the 170± acres of open space would not qualify for parkland dedication. The area is not considered an active recreation area and is not designated as parkland on the General Plan or the Master Plan of Parks. The proposed subdivision is appropriate for the site in that the proposal is consistent with the General Plan. Marjorie LaBar, representing the Preserve Area Ridgelands Committee, asked that the City take a close look at integrating the open space from this project with any dedication from the Hansen Hill Ranch project in order to ensure the highest quality of open space in the City. There is an opportunity here to appropriately place the access for the entire region. The open space pieces should be integrated into a whole. Mayor Moffatt closed the public hearing for this portion of the discussion. On motion of Cm. Vonheeder, seconded by Cm. Jeffery, and by unanimous vote, the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 79 - 90 APPROVING TENTATIVE MAP 5962 CONCERNING PA 89-125 DONLAN CANYON Ms. O'Halloran advised that because the project site is located outside the City limits, LAFCO must approve the annexation. The site @*@*@*@*@*@*@*@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@.@,@,@,@,@, CM - VOL 9 - 167 Regular Meeting June 25, 1990 is contiguous to existing City limits and the City could provide the necessary level of urban services to the site. The site also requires annexation to the Dublin San Ramon Services District. Cm. Hegarty stated that several years ago when an annexation line was drawn, he asked Staff to take a loOk at the slopes adjacent to Rampart Drive. At that time, they said the road was not in the City, but rather was a CalTrans road. He questioned if this had been straightened out. Ms. O'Halloran stated that CalTrans gave this to the County and it has been resolved. Mr. Ambrose advised that the roadway annexation will be considered at the July LAFCO meeting. With regard to services addressed in the annexation, Cm. Jeffery questioned the lack of reference to school district services. Ms. O'Halloran advised that the issue of schools was addressed in the EIR. The area is currently in the Dublin School District. Carolyn Mills, representing DSRSD advised that annexation will be required to the Dublin San Ramon Services District. They are supporting a joint annexation, just as they supported for the Hansen Hill Ranch project. Mayor Moffatt closed the public hearing on this portion~ of the discussion. On motion of Cm. Snyder, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder, and by unanimous vote, the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 80 - 90 ANNEXATION APPLICATION (PA 89-125 DONLAN CANYON REORGANIZATION) ANNEXATION NO. 9 and RESOLUTION NO. 81 - 90 RELATING TO EXCHANGE OF PROPERTY TAX REVENUE FOR PA 89-125 DONLAN CANYON REORGANIZATION ANNEXATION NO. 9 RECESS Mayor Moffatt called for a short recess. present when the meeting was reconvened.

Public Works Director Thompson advised that this assessment district maintains certain landscaping improvements within Tract 5511, the Villages @ Willow Creek development. The County Assessor collects the money for the City for the maintenance of landscaping and irrigation systems, right-of-way fencing, and walls and entrance signs. The open space parcel maintenance was charged to the District for 3 years only. This year's assessment is proposed to be $120 per single-family lot and $60 per multi-family unit, which is the same as last year's assessment. No comments were made by the public on this issue. Mayor Moffatt closed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Hegarty, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder, and by unanimous vote, the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 82 - 90 APPROVING ENGINEER'S REPORT, CONFIRMING DIAGRAM AND ASSESSMENT, AND ORDERING LEVY OF ASSESSMENT FOR LANDSCAPING &:LIGHTING MAINTENANCE'ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 1986-1 PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCE RELATING TO NEWSRACKS Mayor Moffatt opened the public hearing. Public Works Director Thompson presented the Staff Report and advised that on May 14, and June 11, 1990, the Council held public hearings regarding a proposed Ordinance which would require news agencies and other publications that use on-street newsracks to obtain a no-charge permit from the City. The Ordinance contained guidelines for place- ment of racks, an insurance requirement, a maintenance obligation, and a procedure for impounding racks that were determined to be hazardous. Mr. Thompson advised that as a result of.public comments modifications were made to the draft Ordinance. The "permit" form was changed to a "registration" form, and the news agency or publication is allowed up to 24 hours following placement to register a rack. The requirement for modular racks in the Central Business District was changed to apply to locations with 4 or more racks only. In cases where multiple racks are involved, the likelihood is greater of the racks straying into the street or blocking the sidewalk. The language provided by counsel for one of the news agencies regarding indemnification has also been incorporated into the draft Ordinance. In addition, the specific amount of $1,000,000 in liability coverage has been added. @*@*@*@*@*@*@*@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@*@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@, CM - VOL 9 - 169 Regular Meeting June 25, 1990 No comments were made by the public on this issue. Mayor Moffatt closed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder, and by unanimous vote, the Council waived the reading and adopted ORDINANCE NO. 9 - 90 RELATING TO NEWSRACKS PUBLIC HEARING BUSINESS REGISTRATION ORDINANCE Mayor Moffatt opened the public hearing. City Manager Ambrose advised that on June 11, 1990, the Council introduced the Business Registration Ordinance which would: 1) assist the Police and Fire Departments in contacting property owners and/or business owners in the event of an emergency; 2) facilitate the identification and location of hazardous materials in order to determine compliance with Building, Fire and State Laws and to facilitate better disaster planning and response time; 31) provide information which would facilitate better traffic planning and improvement; 4) assist businesses in complying with planning, zoning, building and other City regulations before a substantial investment is made; and 5) facilitate a more accurate collection of Sales tax. Mr. Ambrose explained that the Ordinance is regulatory rather than revenue raising. A $50 annual fee is being proposed with a pro-rata charged for those businesses registering in the middle of the year. $10 per day fee would be charged for temporary or itinerant businesses. The City can only collect an amount which is reasonable to administer the Ordinance. A Mayor Moffatt asked if someone obtained a County Peddler's Permit, would this exempt them from having to register with the City of Dublin. Mr. Ambrose advised that he would have to check on this as he did not know. Carol Borus asked if the $10 per day for vendors would affect the Murray School annual flea market. Cm. Vonheeder felt it would depend on the application. Mr. Ambrose felt the vendors would have to take out a 1-day permit. Ms. Borus 'felt this would shut down their event. She advised that in other cities, there are conditions that they must appear twice in a 1 year period in order to have to get a business license. @*@*@*@*@*@*@*@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@, CM - VOL 9 - 170 Regular Meeting June 25, 1990 Mr. Molina advised that the Committee discussed this. He discussed possible scenarios if the school were to get one permit vs. each vendor getting their own permits. As the Ordinance is currently written, each vendor would have to pay a $10 fee. Mayor Moffatt asked if the school could take out the permit and be responsible for the profit making groups. Cm. Vonheeder felt perhaps the word "vendor" could be redefined. Typically, the people selling items are mainly just residents cleaning out their garages. Cm. Snyder indicated he never wanted to get into this as he had always felt this was an illegal event. City Attorney Nave felt this is not a profession, trade or occupation. He felt they could be exempted. He did not feel the provisions Would apply to individuals who want to sell garage sale type stuff. Mr. Molina suggested that a section be added to the Ordinance. Mr. Ambrose clarified that the City Attorney's interpretation is that if they are not a business, they would be exempt. Cm. Snyder stated this is no different than the Shamrock Potato Festival. It is up to the organization to make the distinction as to who is a business and who is not. The school would need to do its own enforcing. . Mr. Nave stated that if he were a homeowner and cleaned out his garage and participated at the Flea Market, he would not need to register with the City, but if he were selling up and down the state as a business, he would have to get a 1-day permit to participate at this event. Ms. Borus questioned how they would go about getting this information from all the applicants. Mr. Ambrose stated the City could develop some kind of special application form so they could be screened. Cm. Vonheeder felt the City sponsored garage sale at Shannon Center would have the same problems. Don Johnson, President of the Chamber of Commerce indicated that it was the Chamber members on the committee who recommended that these types of groups obtain a permit for all the vendors under an umbrella. The determining factor should be whether or not there is a non-profit umbrella over them. Mr. Ambrose stated the key provision is whether the person selling the goods is selling for profit or not. If they are selling for profit, they are subject to the Ordinance. @*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@, CM - VOT. 9 - 171 Regular Meeting June 9_5, 1990 Cm. Snyder stated he did not see this as a major thing. Cm. Hegarty felt they would simply need to screen the people making application to participate. Ms. Borus stated it is a lot of work to put on this event and she resented any additional work put on them. If the City wants this tax, she questioned why the City didn't collect it. Mr. Johnson felt her only obligation should be to inform potential vendors. If they are a business, they need to get a City permit. Mr. Nave also advised that she only needs to inform businesses that they must get a business license from the City and pay a 1-day $10 fee. Mr. Johnson stated that frankly he was surprised that more business people had not come forward objecting to the Ordinance. There certainly has been ample publicity. He stated that speaking on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, they favor adoption of this Ordinance. Mayor Moffatt clOsed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Snyder, seconded by Cm. Hegarty, and by unanimous vote, the Council waived the reading and adopted ORDINANCE NO. 10 - 90 REGISTERING BUSINESSES , · , · PUBLIC HEARING NO PARKING ZONES ON WILDWOOD ROAD AND ON FALL CREEK ROAD Mayor Moffatt opened the public hearing. Public Works Director Thompson advised that on June 11, 1990, the City Council accepted improvements constructed as part of Parcel Map 5353, including Fall Creek Road. Wildwood Road was accepted some time ago as part of the improvements for Village II. The developer was required to install no parking signs on both these loop roads, as the roads are too narrow to allow on-street parking. No residences of any kind front on these streets, and the adjacent apartment or condominium projects provide parking within the respective developments. The City's Traffic Ordinance requires that no parking zones be adopted by resolution. No comments were made by the public on this issue. Mayor Moffatt closed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Hegarty, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder, and by unanimous vote, the Council adopted @*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@,@*@* CM - VOL 9 - 179- Regular Meeting June 25, 1990 RESOLUTION NO. 8~ - 90 DESIGNATING A NO PARKING ZONE ON FALL CREEK ROAD AND ON WILDWOOD ROAD 'PUBLIC HEARING - AMENDMENT TO ENCROACHMENT FEE SCHEDULE REGARDING OVERSIZE/OVERWEIGHT VEHICLES Mayor Moffatt opened the public hearing. Public Works Director Thompson adVised that in July of 1989, the State Legislature adopted AB 1849, which amended Sections 35781 and 35795 of the California Vehicle Code to require local jurisdictions to use the same permit form and charge fees which are no higher than those charged by the State Department of Transportation for oversize or overweight vehicle permits. During the last year, the State has worked with both trucking associations and local jurisdictions to develop a permit form and a fee structure that were acceptable to the greatest number of agencies. Mr. Thompson advised that the resulting fees are lower than those presently charged by the City of Dublin. The purpose of the fees is only to cover the cost of administering the permits, not to reimburse for damage to public streets caused by heavy vehicles. The City presently charges $35 for a single-trip permit and $10Oifor an annual permit. The required fees as of July 1st will be $15 for a single- trip permit and $75 for an annual permit. Moves requiring Police or Public Works Staff time for engineering or traffic control may still be charged at the hourly rate for the service. No comments were made by the public on this issue. Mayor Moffatt closed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Vonheeder, seconded by Cm. Jeffery, and by unanimous vote, the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 84 - 90 ADOPTING FEES FOR MUNICIPAL SERVICES (MODIFYING EXHIBIT 4 - ENCROACHMENT FEES) AND AMENDING RESOLUTION NO.'S 96-84 AND 51-89 PUBLIC HEARING - CITYWIDE STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 83-1; 1989-90 LEVY OF ASSESSMENTS Mayor Moffatt opened the public hearing. Public Works Director Thompson advised that in 1983, the City Council formed a Citywide Street Lighting Assessment District to replace the County of Alameda Lighting Service Area. The District budget for the @*@*@*@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@, CM - VOL 9 - 173 Regular Meeting June 25, 1990 first fiscal year was $116,500. The proposed District cost estimate for Fiscal Year 1990-91 is $287,264, including an accumulated reserve for future pole replacement. An estimated $105,606 will be carried over from 1989-90 in the form of reserves. The amount to be assessed to property owners for the 1990-91 street lighting costs will be $170,632. Last year's assessment for a single-family house was $17.82. Staff estimated that the 1990-91 assessment would be about the same or slightly lower for a single-family house based on the proposed assessment. No comments were made by the public on this issue. Mayor Moffatt closed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder, and by unanimous vote, the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 85 - 90 APPROVING ENGINEER'S REPORT, CONFIRMING DIAGRAM AND ASSESSMENT, AND ORDERING LEVY OF ASSESSMENT FOR CITY OF DUBLIN STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 83-1 TRIP TO SISTER CITY, BRAY, IRELAND Mayor Moffatt presented a conceptual drawing of an imprint proposed to be engraved on a piece of leather to be presented to theresidents of Dublin's sister City of Bray. The cost of the leather gift will be approximately $300. Mayor Moffatt advised that it would be about a 10" x 18" piece of irregular leather and the flags and seals would be stamped into the leather and stained. The Council felt the flags should be reversed so the corresponding Country's flag is above the appropriate seal. Cm. Jeffery felt the flags should be deleted and they will look cheap when painted. Mayor Moffatt stated the colors would be stained into the leather. Mayor Moffatt questioned where the sign from Bray should be displayed. The sign is currently in his office, as are a lot of other items. Cm. Snyder indicated he would like to put it up with the collection of pictures, etc., in or around the Bray room. The Council discussed the other items which needed to be displayed such as the proclamations, the silver platter, the crystal vase, etc. On motion of Cm. Snyder, seconded by Cm. Hegarty, and by majority vote, the Council authorized the Mayor to proceed with the purchase of' the leather gift for Bray with the flags to be switched as discussed. Cm. Jeffery voted against this motion. @*@*@*@*@*@*@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@, CM - VOL 9 - 174 Regular Meeting June 25, 1990 GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION TO BE CONSOLIDATED WITH STATEWIDE GENERAL ELECTION TO BE HELD ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1990 City.Clerk Kay Keck advised that the next Municipal Election will be held in the City of Dublin on November 6, 1990. There will be three City Council positions up for election. The nomination period runs from July 16th through August 10th. If an incumbent does not file, the time period is extended five days. Ms. Keck advised that the Council may determine the allowable length of the candidate statement (200 or 400 words) to be printed in the sample ballot and also whether the costs associated with printing the candidate's statement are paid by the City or each candidate. The estimated costs will be $75 for a 200 word statement. On motion of Cm. Hegarty, seconded by Cm.
