He indicated that he had learned an important lesson - 'don't buy property on a county line'. He urged the Council to build a masonry fence rather than a wooden one and questioned how high the fence would be. Staff advised that the wall would be 6' high to replace the existing fences and would be masonry rather than wood. George Zika requested that the City take a look at his street in order that it could be paved again. Mr. Zika indicated that this is his annual request. City Engineer Thompson explained the cycles used to determine when slurry seal and overlay takes place. Mayor Jeffery indicated that there should be some money coming in from Measure B, but the formula is not yet designated. Mayor Jeffery closed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Snyder, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder, and by unanimous vote, the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 44 - 87 ADOPTING THE 1987-88 UPDATE TO THE FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 1986-91 PUBLIC HEARING ADOPTION OF 1987-88 BUDGET Mayor Jeffery opened the public hearing. During discussion of the proposed budget on June 16, 1987, the City Council directed that two modifications be made. The first dealt with the provision of $19,800 in operating funds for local cable television programming. A program has been added to the Culture & Leisure Services Budget to account for this appropriation. The second adjustment was $46,650 in additional funds for the renovation of the Senior Citizen Center at the Fallon School site. The total Operating Budget, as amended at the June 16th meeting totals $7,703,176, expenditures total $17,444,601 and 1987-88 appropriations total $18,006,558. City Manager Ambrose indicated that one change had occurred since the last meeting. The Dublin Housing AUthority has finally received a balance sheet which separates the pilot tax. The revenue estimate needs to be revised. $45,000 of the total amount of $215,000 will not be received until July of 1988, which will be in the 1988-89 Fiscal Year. $38,000 is alloted to the City of Pleasanton for providing fire protection services to Arroyo Vista. $¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$ CM-6-210 Regular Meeting June 23, 1987 Cm. Hegarty questioned if the Council's decision at the June 22nd meeting regarding a fireworks eleCtion would effect the Elections Budget. Mr. Ambrose indicated that $5,000 had been added to this account. With regard to Vector Control Services, Cm. Snyder indicated that if the level of service does not improve in the future, ~and the City is not satisfied with the level of service it receives, a possible alternative could be to go to the voters in November to find out if they want to become a part of the District. Cm. Hegarty suggested that Staff poll the other 13 cities who are members of the District to determine what they think of the service they receive. Mayor Jeffery felt that the request made by Mr. Flores with regard to the Meals on Wheels program should come under the category of Recreation, as they are responsible for senior programs. The Meals on Wheels request was discussed. Cm. Snyder felt that the money could stay in the contingency reserve and then when we get more information, we could transfer funds. City Manager Ambrose indicated that Staff would try to get more specific details from the provider. Cm. Vonheeder questioned how Dublin ended up with San Ramon rather than Alameda County and Pleasanton. Consensus of the Council was an agreement to contribute, but not until more information is provided. Darla Stevens, representing the Tri-Valley Community Television Corporation passed out a reformatted budget to the Council. Cm. Moffatt felt that if San Ramon does not choOse to participate, then this budget will be off. Darla Stevens indicated that this was not the case. The Cities that participate are buying services. Services will be provided for dollars given. The level of service we receive is directly tied to the amount of money given. Cm. Hegarty reported that Dublin is the only City to commit funding thus far. Mayor Jeffery closed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Snyder, seconded by Cm. Moffatt, and by unanimous vote, the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 45 - 87 ADOPTING A BUDGET FOR THE CITY OF DUBLIN FOR FISCAL YEAR 1987-88 $¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$ CM-6-211 Regular Meeting June 23, 1987 PUBLIC HEARING 1987-88 APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT Mayor Jeffery opened the public hearing. The City's Appropriation Limit for Fiscal Year 1986-87 was established in June 1986 at $7,672,746. For Fiscal Year 1987-88, the City is required to adopt an Appropriations Limit which adjusts the 1986-87 Appropriations Limit by the change in the U. S. consumer Price Index (CPI) and the change in the City's population as determined by the State Department of Finance. The City's 1987-88 Appropriations Limit is $9,670,616. This limit only restricts those appropriations which are funded by Proceeds of Taxes as defined by Proposition 4. This total is $7,806,431. City Manager Ambrose indicated that this figure would be adjusted slightly as a result of this meeting. We are, however, well under the limit. On motion of Cm. Vonheeder, seconded by Cm. Snyder, and by unanimous vote, the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 46- 87 ADOPTING THE APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR FISCAL YEAR 1987-88 (9,670,616) TRAFFIC SIGNAL MAINTENANCE AND CROSSING ,GUARD AGREEMENT The City contracts with the County of Alameda Public Works Agency for both traffic signal maintenance and crossing guard services.

REPORT ON REORGANIZATION OF DUBLIN SAN RAMON SERVICES DISTRICT On February 9, 1987, the City Council approved a Memorandum of.Understanding between the City of Dublin, Dublin San Ramon Services District and City of San Ramon related to the transfer of service responsibility from the District to the two Cities. Since that meeting, representatives of the District, San Ramon and Dublin have met several times in an attempt to work out differences between the three agencies over the transfer of fire and park responsibilities from the District to Dublin and San Ramon. On June 16, 1987, representatives from the three agencies met again and reached agreement on a redrafted Memorandum of Understanding between the three agencies. This Memorandum of Understanding differs from the MOU approved in concept by the City Council on February 9, 1987 as follows: 1) The District will transfer title to each fire station to the cities in accordance with their respective geographical locations at such time that the Fire Joint Powers Authority becomes operational. 2) Ail personal property which is either used for fire protection and suppression or for parks which is not physically located and customarily used at each of the facilities will be divided between the Cities equally based on current market value. 3) Each City will convey the fire assets that it receives from the District to the Fire JPA at the same time. 4) The Proposition 4 Appropriation Limitation will be transferred to the cities as calculated by the District upon the date that the Fire JPA becomes operational. 5) One or both Cities may assume park and aquatics maintenance and operation responsibility from the District prior to the implementation of any actions contemplated by the Memorandum of Understanding. If one or both Cities indicate a willingness to assume responsibility for District facilities within their respective jurisdiction, the District may transfer those monies it budgets to maintain and operate facilities within the City requesting responsibility for the facilities. An agreement for such a transfer would be subject to the prior written approval of the other City. $¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$ CM-6-213 Regular Meeting June 23, 1987 Staff advised that since our side of the line has generated more fees, we want to look at an equitable split in fees collected. Cm. Snyder indicated that this has been a long road, and we still are not at the end. Cm. Hegarty indicated that he would feel more comfortable if all agreements were documented. City Manager Ambrose indicated that the District charges $650 per unit for fire capital improvement purposes. This is actually an agreement to agree. On motion of Cm. Snyder, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder, and by unanimous vote, the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 48 - 87 and APPROVING MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING REGARDING TRANSFER OF SERVICE RESPONSIBILITY RELATING TO FIRE PROTECTION AND SUPPRESSION AND PARK AND RECREATION RESOLUTION NO. 49 - 87 REQUESTING NEGOTIATIONS WITH COUNTY REGARDING DUBLIN SAN RAMON SERVICES DISTRICT PROPERTY TAX PROCEEDS OTHER BUSINESS FireWorks Cm. Snyder stated he wished to apologize for a remark made at the June 22nd meeting regarding the fireworks discussion, when Cm. Hegarty made the motion to put a Council initiative on the ballot. He requested that Cm. Hegarty modify his motion to put it back to an advisory motion. A Council initiative would set uP a situation whereby the Council would always have to go back to {he voters. Regardless of how the vote goes, he felt confident that the Council would do the right thing. Cm. Snyder indicated that he was making this request at this time because he will be out of the Country when the report is brought back to the Council for consideration at the July 13th meeting. Developer~ Fe.~es Discussion was held regarding the fee that will be charged to developers by the School District. Information will be provided to the City. $¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$ CM-6-214 Regular Meeting June 23, 1987 ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned at 8:07 p.m. $¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$¢$ CM-6-215 Regular Meeting June 23~ 1987
