The City Council will also consider delegating authority to the City Manager to approve an agreement with All City Management Services, Inc. during the City Council recess. Actions taken during the City Council recess will be reported to the City Council at the August 15, 2023 regularly scheduled meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Take the following actions 1) Adopt the Resolution Delegating Authority to the City Manager to Approve the Plans and Specifications and to Award Construction Contracts for Annual Street Resurfacing Projects (2023 Slurry Seal and 2023 Overlay), CIP No. ST0117; 2) Adopt the Resolution Delegating Authority to the City Manager to Approve the Plans and Specifications and to Award a Construction Contract for the Alamo Creek Park and Assessment District Fence Replacement Project, CIP No. PK0122; and 3) Adopt the Resolution Delegating Authority to the City Manager to Approve an Agreement Between the City of Dublin and All City Management Services, Inc.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The estimated construction contract cost for the Annual Street Resurfacing Projects, 2023 Slurry Seal and 2023 Overlay, is $800,000-$900,000 and $1.2 million-$1.4 million, respectively, and the estimated cost for the Alamo Creek Park Fence Replacement Project is $400,000-$500,000.
Sufficient funds are available in the adopted 2022-2027 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) 291
Update for CIP Nos. ST0117, PK0123, and PK0122, as well as the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Operating Budget for the Public Works Department, in addition to any funds remaining from Fiscal Year 2022-23 when the fiscal year books are closed. Any contract award is limited to the available budgeted funds.
The compensation in the proposed agreement with All City Management Services, Inc. for crossing guard services in the new school year is not to exceed $800,000, which includes a contingency amount if there needs to be a modification to the hours and location site. The Dublin Unified School District will reimburse the City for the cost of a total of six sites and the City will be responsible for the remaining eleven sites. Sufficient funds are available in the adopted Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget for this contract.
DESCRIPTION:
Delegation of Authority
Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 2.36 Contracts and Purchasing requires that the City Council approve any contracts for public projects that exceed $100,000. However, Dublin Municipal Code Section 2.04.190, states: “It shall be the duty of the City Manager to perform such other duties and exercise such other powers as may be delegated from time to time by ordinance or other official action of the City Council.” Therefore, Staff recommends that the City Council exercise its authority and approve a resolution to delegate its approval to the City Manager during the City Council recess, provided the compensation amounts are within the budget already approved by the City Council and that all other competitive bidding procedures are satisfied, as appropriate.
If the City Council delegates authority, a report summarizing actions that occurred during the City Council recess will be included in the agenda for the August 15, 2023 City Council meeting.
Annual Street Resurfacing
This year’s Annual Street Resurfacing, CIP No. ST0117, consists of two projects 1) 2023 Slurry Seal and 2) 2023 Overlay.
The 2023 Slurry Seal Project will include localized repair of failed asphalt concrete pavement, slurry seal, and pavement delineation on the following street segments: Alegre Drive, Amarillo Court, Amarillo Road, Barn Hollow Court, Bay Laurel Court, Bay Laurel Street, Betlen Drive, Buckeye Court, Calle Verde Road, Casa Linda Court, Castle Court, Castle Drive, Circle Way, Corto Court, Cresta Lane, Dillon Way, Estrella Court, Hansen Drive, Kingston Place, Kolb Place, Ladera Court, Ladera Drive, Las Palmas Court, Las Palmas Way, Luna Court, Mancini Court, Manzanita Lane, Mape Way, Meadow Court, Peppertree Road, Prow Way, Rampart Drive, Reilly Court, San Sabana Court, San Sabana Road, Shadow Drive, Shadow Place, Silvergate Drive, Tina Place, and two segments along Tamarack Drive, between Village Parkway and Burnham Way and between Doreen Street and Brighton Drive.
The 2023 Overlay Project will include pavement overlays of John Monego Court and Sierra Lane; the Alamo Creek Trail pedestrian pathway along Persimmon Drive between Gleason Drive and Central Parkway; localized pavement repairs on Dublin Boulevard, west of Silvergate Drive, as well as on Village Parkway, north of Amador Valley Boulevard; and localized pavement repairs in 292
the Shannon Community Center parking lot, which will also address the fire damaged pavement.
The 2023 Slurry Seal Project is currently out to bid at the time of the writing of this Staff Report, and the 2023 Overlay Project will be advertised in the coming weeks. Barring unforeseen circumstances, such as bid protests, it is anticipated that both projects will be scheduled to receive, open, and read aloud bids, and award and execute contracts during the City Council recess. The City Council delegation of authority to the City Manager will allow the projects to continue progressing towards construction without having to wait until the City Council meeting of August 15, 2023. Bid results, references, and necessary licenses will be reviewed by Staff who will then recommend that the City Manager award the construction contracts to the lowest responsive, responsible bidders.
These projects are exempt under Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines.
Alamo Creek Park and Assessment District Fence Replacement The Alamo Creek Park and Assessment District Fence Replacement Project, CIP No. PK0422, includes the removal and disposal of existing ornamental metal fencing that has reached the end of its service life at Alamo Creek Park and along Fall Creek Road, Dougherty Road, and Wildwood Road, and replacement with new six-foot-high vinyl coated chain link fencing. The project also includes patching, painting, and replacement of the decorative metal fencing on the concrete masonry monument sign and culvert walls with new decorative metal fencing in Alamo Creek Park.
The project will be advertised in the coming weeks and barring unforeseen circumstances, such as bid protests, it is anticipated that the project will be scheduled to receive, open, and read aloud bids, and award and execute a contract during the City Council recess. The City Council delegation of authority to the City Manager will allow the project to continue progressing towards construction without having to wait until the meeting of August 15, 2023. Bid results, references, and necessary licenses will be reviewed by Staff who will then recommend that the City Manager award the construction contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.
This project is exempt under Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines.
All City Management Services, Inc. Agreement
The current agreement with All City Management Services, Inc. for crossing guards in designated school zones will expire on June 30, 2023. Staff desires to enter into a new two-year agreement with All City Management Services, Inc. prior to the beginning of the 2023-2024 school year, which occurs during the City Council recess. Staff recommends delegating authority to the City Manager to approve the agreement.
There will be 17 locations for the crossing guards with exact sites still to be determined, but which will include areas around the elementary schools, Fallon Middle School, and Cotton Wood Creek K- 8 School.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project provides for the design and construction of a variety of pavement resurfacing treatments, from slurry seal to major rehabilitation and reconstruction of streets and resurfacing of bridge decks. The project also includes installation of new or upgrades of existing ADA curb ramps on roads that are reconstructed or receive an asphalt concrete overlay. Streets are selected for improvements based on the City's Pavement Management System to optimize the pavement condition in relation to available budget. The City owns and maintains approximately 148 centerline miles of streets.
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission groups Pavement Condition Index (PCI) ratings into the following categories: 80-100 V ery Good-Excellent; 70-79 Good, 60-69 Fair, 50-59 At Risk, 25-49 Poor, and 0-24 Failed. The City of Dublin is rated very good with a three-year moving average PCI of 82.
This annual Resurfacing Program is primarily funded by Alameda County Transportation Commission Measure B/BB funds, SB-1, and Gas Tax. This program protects the substantial investment the City has in the public street system.

Agenda Item 4.9
DATE: June 20, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT: Revisions to the Personnel System
Prepared by: Sarah Monnastes, Human Resources Director EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider proposed changes to the City’s current Personnel System. The proposed adjustments are based on the need to revise the City’s Classification Plan and Salary Plan for Fiscal Year 2023-24.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the following: 1) Resolution Amending the Classification Plan; 2) Resolution Establishing a Salary Plan for Full-Time Personnel in Accordance With the Personnel Rules; 3) Resolution Establishing a Salary Plan for Management Positions Exempt from Competitive Service; 4) Resolution Amending the Benefit Plan; and 5) Resolution Amending the Management Positions Exempt from Competitive Service Resolution and Prescribing Leave Benefits for the Designated Positions.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no budgetary impact from the proposed changes as the cost-of-living increases were approved in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 operating budget on May 16, 2023.
DESCRIPTION:
This Staff Report addresses changes to various documents that are part of the City’s Personnel System Rules. The following sections describe the changes being proposed and identify City documents being updated to reflect the changes.
Classification Plan
Pursuant to the City’s Personnel System Rules, a job description must be adopted for each classification in the organization. The job description typically includes key elements, knowledge, 304
skills, abilities, and requirements of the position. The job descriptions make up the City’s Classification Plan.
Attachment 1 includes the following amendments:
Updating the Classification Plan by eliminating the classification of Heritage & Cultural Arts Manager, re-titling Recreation Manager to Parks & Community Services Manager and updating the job specification. By broadening the job specification and title to encompass all programmatic areas within Parks and Community Services, the Parks & Community Services Director will have more flexibility in assigning areas of responsibilities within the Department as the new Cultural Arts Center opens early next year. Updating the titles of Administrative Services Director/Director of Finance and Assistant Administrative Service Director/Budget to Finance Director and Assistant Finance Director, respectively. Changing the titles to Finance more accurately represents the responsibilities of these positions and aligns with the department name change in the FY 2023-24 Budget. Adding the Deputy City Manager to the Classification Plan. This classification request addresses the City Council’s strategic priorities, such those related to implementation of the Downtown Preferred Vision, as well as items of major economic and financial importance to the City. This position would report to the City Manager.
Salary Plan
Included in the City’s Personnel System are Resolutions that address salary ranges for City personnel. Attachments 6 and 7 propose establishing salary ranges for FY 2023-24 to reflect the approved 3.5% cost-of-living increase that was approved at the May 16, 2023, Council Meeting.
Benefit Plan
Attachment 8 amends the Benefit Plan, allowing the Deputy City Manager position to be eligible for the City’s car allowance of $190.00 per month. Finally, Attachment 9 prescribes specific leave benefits and designates the Deputy City Manager as management and exempt from the City’s competitive service system.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
None.

Agenda Item 4.10
DATE: June 20, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT: Introduction of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 9.28 (Dedication of Lands for Park and Recreation Purposes) of the Dublin Municipal Code Prepared by: Colleen Tribby, Assistant City Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider introducing an Ordinance amending the Dublin Municipal Code to reflect new parkland dedication categories and updated census numbers concerning the number of persons per dwelling unit.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Waive the reading and INTRODUCE the Ordinance Amending Chapter 9.28 (Dedication of Lands for Park and Recreation Purposes) of the Dublin Municipal Code.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
DESCRIPTION:
At the May 2 meeting, the City Council received an overview of the City’s Public Facilities Fee (PFF) update currently underway. The PFF funds the construction of certain public facilities needed to mitigate the impacts caused by future development. The update to the PFF will adjust impact fee rates using the most recent census data, land values, and construction costs. The May 2 Staff Report is provided as Attachment 2.
333
During the meeting, Staff discussed issues surrounding incorporating the new data into the PFF and meeting park acreage requirements as currently reflected Dublin Municipal Code (DMC) Chapter
9.28.040. In summary, because of the new population data from the US Census and the Housing Element, the City will have a deficit of parkland of close to 50 acres (a significant increase from the 2017 report’s deficit of 21 acres), the majority of which is in the active community parkland category. Because there is virtually no land left for active community parks in Dublin, the City will be unable to meet this objective.
To remedy this, Staff proposed shifting the acreage requirement from Community Parkland to Nature Community Parkland, so that the remaining deficit can be solved with the addition of nature parks. This would require an amendment to the DMC to reflect a decrease in Community Parkland acreage by 0.6 acre, and a corresponding increase in Nature Community Parkland, as shown in the table below and as reflected in the proposed Ordinance (Attachment 1). The City Council agreed with Staff’s approach.
Table 1. Park Acreage Breakdown, Existing vs. Proposed
In addition, Staff has further amended DMC Chapter 9.28.040 to incorporate data from the 2020 Census related to the number of people assigned to dwelling units in the City and has consolidated them into an average number for all types of units, versus distinguishing single-family and multi-family categories.
All dwelling units are now assigned 2.70 people (formerly 3.08 for single-family and 1.88 for multi- family).
The update to the PFF will be brought to the City Council at a future meeting date, along with the second reading of the Ordinance amending the DMC.

None.

WHEREAS, in order to implement the goals and objectives of the City of Dublin's ("City") general plan, the City's various Specific Plans, including but not limited to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, Downtown Dublin Specific Plan, Dublin Crossing Specific Plan, etc., and the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, and to mitigate the impacts caused by future development in the City, certain public facilities must be constructed; and WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that a public facilities fee is needed to finance these public facilities and to pay for each development's fair share of the construction and acquisition costs of these improvements; and
WHEREAS, Dublin Municipal Code (DMC) Section 9.28 requires that each subdivider of the land classified by the Zoning Ordinance for residential use shall dedicate or reserve lands, pay fees in lieu thereof, or a combination of both, for neighborhood and community park or recreational purposes; and
WHEREAS, following review of the DMC, it was determined that the amendments contained in this Ordinance were appropriate.
NOW, THEREFORE, The City Council of the City of Dublin does ordain as follows:
Section 1. Chapter 9.28.040 is amended to read as follows (additions shown in italics and deletions shown in strikethrough):
It is found and determined that the public interest, convenience, health, safety and welfare require that five (5) acres of property for each one thousand (1,000) persons residing within the city be devoted to local park and recreational purposes. The amount of land to be dedicated, or fees to be paid, shall bear a reasonable relationship to the use of the park and recreation facilities by the future inhabitants of the subdivision. The amount of land to be dedicated shall be the amount calculated from the following formula:
LAND = A x B
A. “A” means the park and recreation area required per dwelling unit, based on the type of dwelling units of the proposed subdivision and the park area per one thousand (1,000) people of the city.
1. The park area of the city is determined to be five (5) acres per one thousand (1,000) people, or five-one-thousandths (0.005) acre per person, which is further broken down to three (3) two and four tenths (2.4) acres per one thousand (1,000) people for active community parks, three-tenths (0.3) nine tenths (0.9) acre per one thousand (1,000) people for natural 336

2. The park and recreation area required per dwelling unit, “A,” is established as follows:Each residential dwelling unit is assigned two and seven tenths (2.7) people. a. Each single-family dwelling unit is assigned three and eight one-hundredths (3.08) people. b. Each other multifamily dwelling unit is assigned one and eighty-eight one-hundredths (1.88) people.
c. Each senior housing dwelling unit is assigned one and twelve one-hundredths (1.12) people.
B. “B” means the number of dwelling units in the proposed subdivision. For the purpose of this section, the number of dwelling units in the proposed subdivision shall be determined as follows:
For single-family and townhome subdivisions, the number of dwelling units shall equal the number of lots or parcels created for residential use as indicated on the final map or parcel map.
When the subdivision is for other multifamily or senior housing, the number of dwelling units shall equal the maximum number of residential units allowed within the proposed subdivision.
For residential condominium projects, the number of dwelling units shall equal the number of condominium units indicated on the final map or parcel map. For planned development projects, the number of dwelling units shall equal the number of dwelling units indicated on the approved planned development plan.
Section 2. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance, or its application to any person or circumstance, is for any reason held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases of this Ordinance, or its application to any other person or circumstance. The City Council of the City of Dublin hereby declares that it would have adopted each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more other sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases hereof be declared invalid or unenforceable.

Agenda Item 7.1
DATE: June 20, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT: East Ranch Community Facilities Districts Revised Proposal Prepared by: Kan Xu, Senior Civil Engineer
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On April 18, 2023, the City Council provided feedback to the Applicant, TH East Ranch Dublin, LLC (Trumark Homes), on their request to form Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) to finance the maintenance of and construction of public improvements within the East Ranch development project. The Applicant has revised their proposal for consideration by the City Council. The City Council will receive a presentation from the Applicant and provide feedback regarding the revised CFD proposals. No formal action will be taken, nor will approvals be granted, for the project at this meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive the presentation and provide feedback on the Applicant’s revised proposal for the formation of Community Facilities Districts to fund the maintenance of and the construction of certain public facilities.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
All costs associated with processing this request are borne by the Applicant.
DESCRIPTION:
Background
The 165.5-acre East Ranch development project site is an undeveloped parcel located within the Fallon Village area of the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (EDSP). The site is located north of Interstate 580, east of Fallon Road and the Jordan Ranch development, south of the Positano development, and adjacent to the City’s eastern boundary, as shown in Figure 1 below. The project site generally increases in elevation from south to north with knolls and hilly terrain in the northeastern portion of the site.
360
Figure 1. Vicinity Map
On April 18, 2023, the City Council received a presentation from TH East Ranch Dublin, LLC (Applicant) and provided feedback on an affordable housing proposal and the formation of a Community Facilities District to fund maintenance of public streets, two public parks, and the storm drain systems within the Project (Services CFD) and a Community Facilities District to fund the acquisition and construction of certain public infrastructure and development impact fees associated with the Project (Facilities CFD).
The City Council expressed general support for the affordable housing proposal and Staff is currently working on drafting the Affordable Housing Agreement for City Council’s approval at a future meeting. Regarding the formation of the CFDs, the City Council was generally in support of the Services CFD; however, the City Council did not support the formation of the Facilities CFD in its previously proposed form.
Current Request
The Applicant has revised their proposal for the formation of the Services CFD for maintenance and the Facilities CFD to fund construction of various public infrastructure.
Services CFD
The revised Services CFD will fund maintenance of the public streets and the storm drain systems within the East Ranch development. The two public parks were removed from the revised Services CFD proposal, which means that assessments will not be collected for the City’s maintenance of those two parks.
Based on the City’s current maintenance costs for similar items remaining in the revised Services 361
CFD proposal, contingency, and administration costs, the revised proposed assessment on each unit within the district is approximately $381 per year for maintenance of public infrastructure (Attachment 1). The adjusted property tax, including the Services CFD, will total approximately
1.39% of the home price.
Facilities CFD
The Applicant is also requesting the City Council’s consideration of the revised Facilities CFD to fund construction of certain public infrastructure and development impact fees associated with the Project, including grading, street improvements, public parks, storm drain, water, and sewer facilities. The inclusion of water and sewer facilities within the Facilities CFD will require a separate Joint Community Facilities Agreement between the Applicant, the City, and Dublin San Ramon Services District.
Of specific note, the Applicant does not have any obligation to make improvements to the two neighborhood parks in the project. The obligation is to pay a certain amount in fees for future park improvements. This amount is about $4.7 million in today’s dollars, while the cost to improve both parks is in excess of $11 million based on recent park improvements. Staff and the Applicant believe that such improvements to the park will benefit the community and surrounding neighborhoods. To absorb this additional cost, the Applicant will require a Facilities CFD to offset some of its capital costs in other areas of the project. In summary, if the City Council approves a Facilities CFD, the Applicant will commit to making park improvements. Without the Facilities CFD, the two park sites will likely sit undeveloped for several years.
The Applicant’s proposed annual CFD special tax rate (Services CFD and Facilities CFD), when combined with all other property taxes would, on average, equal approximately 1.58% of the estimated home price. The bonding capacity of the Facilities CFD is estimated to yield approximately $26.95 million in net proceeds based on the special tax rate, assuming annual escalation of 2% per year and an interest rate on the bonds of 5.50% (net of typical costs for underwriter discount, reserve funds, capitalized interest, and incidental expenses). The facilities component of the proposed CFD would be structured to consist of six special tax zones, one for each of the various lot/product types, as shown in the following table.
Zone # Product Type Annual Special Tax (per unit)
Zone 1 65’ x 100’ lots $5,543
Zone 2 55’ x 95’ lots $4,153
Zone 3 50’ x 110’ lots $4,406
Zone 4 49.5’ x 80’ lots $3,398
Zone 5 Cluster lots $2,886
Zone 6 Townhome units $1,395
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The City Council is receiving a presentation and providing feedback on the formation of a Services CFD and a Facilities CFD and no formal action will be taken at this time. This discussion is not subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it does not have 362
the potential to result in a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect change in the environment and, thus, does not meet the definition of a project under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
Strategy 3: Infrastructure Maintenance and Reinvestment Objective D: Explore use of funding mechanisms like community facilities districts for capital and ongoing maintenance needs.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
A copy of this Staff Report was provided to the Applicant and the City Council Agenda was posted.

To: City of Dublin
From: DPFG
Date: June 5, 2023
Subject: Croak Ranch CFD Formation Proposal
Per the request of our client, Trumark Homes, we have prepared this memo to provide background information and discuss a proposal for the formation of a Community Facilities District (“CFD”) for The Croak Ranch project (the “Project”).
A. Backgroun
d and Assumptions:
The Project is within the City of Dublin (“city”) Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. The Project is a 165.5-acre site with a 573-unit residential project consisting of six neighborhoods, two neighborhood parks totaling
11.5 acres, and a two-acre Public/Semi-Public site reserved for affordable housing located on Croak Road east of Fallon Road. The project site straddles existing Croak Road with Jordan Ranch to the west, Positano to the north and undeveloped land to the east and south with the Interstate 580 beyond.
B. Summary of CFD Formation Deal P
oints:
1. As part of the conditions of approval for Tract Map 8563, the Croak project was conditione d to agree to form
a Community Facilities District (CFD), with the City as the lead agency, pursuant to the provision
s of California Government Secti ons 53311 et seq., for the purpos e of financing the maintenance, acquisition, and/or constr
uction of certain public improvements on the Property if Developer is
in agreement with the Rate, Met hod of Apportionment and manner of Collection of Special tax ("RMA") as it relates to the Property. There may be potential to en ter into a Joint Community Facilities Agreement (“JCF
A”) with other local agencies to potentially finance ot her eligible facilities and/or fees.
2. The infrastructure component of the pro
posed CFD would be structured to consist of six (6) special tax zones, one for each of the various lot
/product types.
Zone 1 - 6
5’x100’ lots – $5,543 annual special tax
Zone 2 - 5
5’x95’ lots – $4,153 annual special tax
Zone 3 - 5
0’x110’ lots – $4,406 annual special tax
Zone 4 –
49.5’x80’ lots – $3,398 annual special tax
Zone 5 –
Cluster lots – $2,886 annual special tax
Zone 6 –
Townhome units – $1,395 annual special tax
Assumes affo
rdable units will not be subject to the special tax.
3. The bonding capacity for the Project is currently estimated to yield approximately $26.9 million in net proceeds. The preliminary bond
sizing is described in further detail in Exhibit A.
4. The annual CFD special tax rate, when combined with all other property taxes would, on average, equal approxi
mately 1.58% of estimated home prices. The Project tax rate analysis is described in further detail in Exhibit B.
The analysis assumes as a condition of the Project, a project specific maintenance CFD will be formed. The maintenance CFD will be formed concurrently as part of this CFD. Current maintenance projections can be found in Exhibit C. The analysis also assumes the Project will be in a GHAD.
Attachment 2

Croak Ranch CFD Formation Summary Proposal
1 of 2
5. The CFD would be authorized to fund the construction of certain public improvements/fees identified in Exhibit D.
6. For modeling purposes, it was assumed that the annual special taxes would escalate at 2% per year and the interest rate on the bonds was assumed at 5.50% and net of typical costs for underwriter discount, reserve funds, capitalized interest, and incidental expenses.
7. It is proposed the term of the bonds to be 30 years.
8. The CFD could be structured to include im provement areas based upo n project phasing and absorption.
9. The CFD could be structured to include a transition event, whereby when the special tax has funded all the obligations funded by the facilities special tax, the special tax would convert to a services special tax in perpetuity at a reduced rate. Th e intent would be to reduce/defer repair and replacement costs on the proposed services special tax.
10. It is proposed the concept of remainder taxes, which is the balance of taxes collected, beyond the total facilities special taxes collected on developed property during the first 20 fiscal years, to be used on a pay-go basis to fund eligible facilities and fees.
11. The rate and method of apportionment would includ e a provision for the City to receive funding for priority administration. It is proposed the City would receive $25,000 annually to cover CFD related administration costs.
12. Developer requests that bonds are structured to maximize both the term and debt service to maximizes bond proceeds.
13. The rate and method of apportionment (RMA) w ould include a provision permitting full and/or partial prepayment of the special taxes at any time for any number of assessor’s parcels.
14. The actual amount of the CFD bonds to be issued is expected to be a function of the project’s appraised value, and CFD special tax revenue. The bonds would be anticipated to be issued when the value-to-lien ratio is met for the Project.
15. Developer and DPFG are prepared to work with the City and its consultant team as expeditiously as practicable to complete formation of the CFD. Commencement of the CFD formation is required per the conditions of approval, prior to Large Lot Final Map which is currently in final stages of City approval. An example timeline to get the CFD formed, and bonds issued can be reviewed on Exhibit E.

Agenda Item 7.2
DATE: June 20, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT: Sister City Program Update: Focus Group Framework Review Prepared by: John Stefanski, Assistant to the City Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will receive an update on the Sister City Program and the work completed by the Sister City Focus Group, the result of which is a framework from which a future Sister City Association can be established.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive the report and provide feedback on the proposed program framework.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
DESCRIPTION:
At its February 21 meeting, the City Council received an informational report on reinvigorating the Sister City Program. As a result of this, the City Council directed the City Manager to convene a Sister City Focus Group to assist in identifying and developing the goals of a reinvigorated Sister City Program, as well as the process by which community members would be selected to participate in the ongoing management and development of the program.
The City recruited community members to join the Focus Group from March 29 through April 20 and resulted in the following members:
Dawn Benson
Namrata Berry
Sophie Gao
Inge Houston
Kim Hudson
380
Michelle Smith McDonald
Eman Tai
Natasha Triplett
Georgean Vonheeder-Leopold
The Focus Group met five times and worked to develop (1) a sister city program mission, vision, and objectives; (2) a sister city selection framework; and (3) a recruitment outreach and communications strategy. The result of their input is a framework from which a future sister city association can be established, as described below.
Mission Statement
The Dublin Sister City Program celebrates diverse cities and their vibrant communities by fostering relationships and partnerships that promote economic development and trade opportunities, arts and cultural exchanges, and global citizenship.
Vision Statement
Our vision is to create a world where sister city relationships serve as a catalyst for economic growth, cultural understanding, and internationalism. We envision a future where communities come together to celebrate their diversity and explore other cultures, creating a more connected and empathetic world. We aspire to be active participants of such exchanges, where our community benefits from the shared experiences and relationships forged between sister cities.
Program Objectives
Economic Development and Trade Exchange Program Objectives To identify and develop new business opportunities and partnerships between sister cities that support economic growth and job creation.
To facilitate the exchange of quality practices and innovations in industry and trade, as well as knowledge and expertise in relevant fields.
Cultural Exchange Program Objectives
To promote mutual understanding, and appreciation of diverse cultures and traditions through artistic and cultural performances, exhibitions, and festivals. To facilitate opportunities for locals from sister cities to interact and engage with each other's cultural heritage, such as through public art, professional and educational opportunities, cuisine, and other cultural activities.
Youth and Student Exchange Program Objectives
To promote cross-cultural learning and exchange among young people from different backgrounds, developing empathy and global awareness through shared experiences. To support the personal and academic growth of young people by providing access to unique educational opportunities and resources such as student exchange programs, language immersion, career and technical education, and community service projects. 381
Sister City Selection Criteria
Prior to developing a sister city selection criterion, the Focus Group identified those characteristics of Dublin that they believe the City could bring to a potential sister city relationship. These include:
Outstanding parks
Robust public art
Historical assets and connection with heritage
High quality schools
Diverse and family-oriented community culture
Younger community with multi-generational families
Connection with military
Software and technology industries
Vibrant small businesses
With these characteristics in mind, the Focus Group then identified the following considerations to be utilized when searching for and determining compatibility with a potential sister city. 1) Overarching Considerations
a) Complementary Strengths and Expertise
i) Identify cities with complementary strengths and areas of expertise that can foster collaboration and knowledge exchange.
b) Track Record of Successful Partnerships
i) Consider cities with a proven track record of successful sister city partnerships, indicating their commitment to sustained collaboration. 2) Demographic and Geographic Factors
a) Growing Population
i) Seek cities with a similar population growth history, particularly growth related to urbanization and development.
b) Multicultural and Diverse Populations
i) Look for cities with diverse and multicultural populations. c) Reasonable Proximity to the City of Dublin
i) Prioritize cities that are reasonably close to the City of Dublin, enabling convenient travel and fostering regular interaction.
3) Economic Factors
a) Complimentary Economic Strengths and Opportunities
i) Identify cities with complementary economic strengths, providing opportunities for trade, investment, and business collaboration.
b) Similar Industries or Sectors
i) Consider cities with similar industries, sectors, or composition (i.e., mix of small businesses).
4) Cultural, Civic, and Educational Factors
a) Reputable Educational Institutions and Universities
i) Give preference to cities hosting reputable educational institutions and universities, promoting academic partnerships and student exchanges.
b) Shared interest in Robust Networks of Parks, Open Spaces, and Recreational Facilities 382
i) Seek cities with well-developed networks of parks, open spaces, and recreational facilities.
c) Shared interest in Public Art and Historical Assets
i) Consider cities with a rich cultural heritage, including significant public art installations and historical landmarks.
5) Miscellaneous Factors
a) Degree of Cooperation between the United States and the Foreign Country i) Assess the current degree of cooperation between the United States and the potential sister city in political, economic, commercial, and cultural fields. b) Compatibility of Governance and Values
i) Evaluate the compatibility of governance structures and shared values to ensure effective collaboration and mutual understanding.
c) Compatibility of Program Objectives and Priorities
i) Ensure that the objectives and priorities of the sister city program align with those of the potential city, enhancing the potential for successful collaboration.
Recruitment Process
When forming a new sister city program or association, Sister City International recommends such work be completed by a community group of individuals who are willing to commit the time, effort, and resources to standing up the organization and forming long-term relationships with potential sister cities. Accordingly, the Focus Group recommends the City proceed with a structured recruitment process that involves a brief application detailing an individual’s interest in this work. These applications will be reviewed and ranked by a neutral selection panel consisting of one member of the Focus Group, one member of City Staff, and one chair of a City commission.
Utilizing recommendations from Sister City International and their template association bylaws, the Focus Group recommends this selection committee choose 8-10 community members to serve as the inaugural association board. These individuals should be reflective of the City’s diversity and have interests which align with the proposed program objectives developed by the Focus Group. These selected community members will serve terms ranging from one to three years to ensure continuity as this effort progresses. The City envisions these community members utilizing the framework to establish a formal Sister City Association and proceed with cultivating an initial sister city relationship. The City is proposing that a member of City Staff also serve as an ex-officio member of this nascent association, initially, to help shepherd its development.
Recruitment Outreach and Communications Strategy
The Focus Group proposes a multi-faceted outreach strategy to ensure people who may be interested in playing a role in establishing a formal sister city association are made aware of the opportunity. This includes targeted outreach to residents who are active or have been active with the City through Inside Dublin, the Community Task Force on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, as well as those residents who may have applied for a board or commission seat but were not appointed. Other targeted outreach will also include Dublin civic groups including, but not limited to, the Chamber of Commerce and Dublin Rotary, and then to broader community via the City’s social media channels and outreach at the Farmer’s Market. 383
Other Outreach
As a part of this work, City Staff surveyed several community members who were involved with the former Dublin Sister City Association (DSCA) to learn from their experiences and surface potential issues that may arise over the course of this work. From this feedback, the greatest challenge the DSCA experienced was with identifying and recruiting new members and keeping them active in the Association. These members suggested that future efforts focus on identifying a sister city that residents in Dublin have some existing connection with. They also expressed a desire for the City to maintain its strong relationship with Bray, Ireland.
Next Steps
Following feedback from the City Council, Staff will work with the Focus Group to proceed with the outreach and recruitment strategy.

The City Council will a consider a request by O&I Development to initiate a General Plan Amendment Study to evaluate expanding the land use designation of the Kaiser Commercial site to include assisted living facilities. The 15.85-acre Kaiser Commercial site is designated Medical Campus/Commercial. O&I proposes to develop the northern 2.75 acres of the Kaiser Commercial property with an assisted living and memory care facility.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving the Initiation of a General Plan Amendment Study to Evaluate Expanding the Medical Campus/Commercial Land Use Designation to Include Assisted Living Facilities Within Kaiser Commercial; OR adopt the Resolution Denying the Initiation of a General Plan Amendment Study to Evaluate Expanding the Medical Campus/Commercial Land Use Designation to Include Assisted Living Facilities Within Kaiser Commercial.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
All costs associated with preparing the General Plan Amendment Study, if authorized by the City Council, would be borne by the project proponent.
DESCRIPTION:
Background
The Kaiser Commercial site is approximately 15.85 acres and is located in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area. The site is located south of Dublin Boulevard, north of Interstate 580 between the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center and the Apex Townhomes. The site is made up of four individual parcels: Parcel 1 is vacant land where O&I proposes to develop an assisted living and memory care facility, Parcel 2 is being developed with the Nissan Commercial Car Wash, Parcel 3 is currently vacant, and Parcel 4 includes the new Nissan and Infiniti car dealerships. Refer to 396
Figure 1 and Table 1 below for information about uses surrounding the Kaiser Commercial property and the project site.

North Residential – The Terraces at Dublin
Ranch Villages High-Density Residential
South Vacant Land/I-580 Medical Campus/Commercial
East Kaiser Medical Center Medical Campus
West Apex Townhomes Mixed Use 2/Campus Office
The site has a General Plan land use designation of Medical Campus/Commercial, which accommodates a range of commercial uses including regional- and community-serving retail, professional and administrative offices, hotel, entertainment, limited automotive sales, and eating and drinking establishments. Assisted Living and Memory Care are not allowed in this land use.
The Kaiser Commercial property has Planned Development Zoning (Ordinance No. 03-19). The PD zoning for the commercial site focuses on uses that will generate revenue to the City. The focus on revenue-generating uses is unique to this PD and stemmed from the loss of tax revenue as a result of the uses allowed by the General Plan land use change to Medical Campus to accommodate the Kaiser Medical Center. Assisted living facilities are not currently allowed with Medical Campus/Commercial land use or the Planned Development Zoning.
O&I Development is proposing to construct an assisted living facility on the northern 2.75 acres (Parcel 1) of the property. The proposed project would include a three-story, approximately 397
99,000-square-foot senior care facility that would include 70 assisted living and 30 memory care resident units. The project would have a mix of studios, one-, and two-bedroom units, and the senior care facility would be fully licensed by the State of California's Department of Social Services.
It is the City Council’s policy to initiate all General Plan Amendment Studies prior to accepting an application and beginning work on such a request. O&I Development submitted a letter requesting that the City Council consider initiating a General Plan Amendment Study to allow assisted living facilities within the Medical Campus/Commercial land use designation (Attachment 3).
Analysis
If the City Council initiates a General Plan Amendment Study, Staff would then:
1. Determine the associated impacts from the land use amendment.
2. Review the fiscal impact of the proposed land use amendment.
3. Conduct the appropriate level of environmental review and documentation.
4. Perform any additional studies that may be required.
5. Prepare an analysis of the project for consideration by the Planning Commission and the City Council.
Work on the General Plan Amendment Study would be completed concurrently with processing the project entitlements that are requested by the Applicant. Those entitlements are anticipated to include a companion Eastern Dublin Specific Plan Amendment, PD Rezone, and Site Development Review Permit. Once the General Plan Amendment Study is complete and the project entitlements have been prepared for consideration, Staff would then bring the application to the Planning Commission for a recommendation to the City Council. The project would then move forward to the City Council for consideration.
Staff has prepared draft Resolutions approving and denying the initiation of a General Plan Amendment Study. The draft Resolutions are included as Attachments 1 and 2.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
None.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
The City Council Agenda was posted, and a copy of this Staff Report was provided to the applicant and was made available on the City’s website.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends that the initiation of the General Plan Amendment Study be found exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15306, Class 6 of the State CEQA Guidelines (Information Collection).

RE: The Ivy at Dublin- General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (“EDSP”) Amendment Request
Dear Mr. Annibale:
O&I Development (“O&I”) is pleased to submit our request to iniƟate a General Plan and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (EDSP) Amendment to accommodate the proposed development, The Ivy at Dublin, an assisted living and memory care senior community.
The proposed development aims to cater to the rising demand for senior housing services in Dublin and the Tri-Valley region. Currently, the compeƟng properƟes, especially memory care communiƟes, are at full occupancy. Our market analysis predicts a surge of 18% in the populaƟon of individuals aged 65 and above over the next five years, resulƟng in a substanƟal rise in the necessity for assisted living and memory care services. We are confident that this project will provide significant benefits to the senior ciƟzens and their families in your community.
Project LocaƟon
The Ivy at Dublin is situated on a single 2.75-acre parcel (APN: 985-27-25), with frontage on Dublin Boulevard, between the recently approved commercial car wash (APN: 985-27-26) to the east and exisƟng townhomes to the west. The land to the south is vacant and anƟcipated to be of future commercial use. The subject property is currently an unimproved, vacant, graded lot.
The property is located in the General Plan’s Eastern Extended Planning Area Boundary and within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan with a land use designaƟon of Medical Campus/Commercial, subject to the Planned Development Ordinance No. 03-19. Currently, no development plans are approved on the site.
Requested Amendments
While the City's code classifies assisted living as a commercial use (Community Care Facility), the Medical Care/Commercial land use prescribed uses do not allow a Community Care Facility with 24-hour residenƟal occupancy. To accommodate the proposed project, O&I proposes amending the General Plan and EDSP to include community care faciliƟes as an allowed use within the medical campus/commercial land use designaƟon.

The Project
The project is planned as a 3-story, approximately 99,000 square foot senior care community comprising 70 assisted living and 30 memory care resident units. The project will have a mix of studios, one, and two-bedroom units. The AL/MC community will be fully licensed by the State of California's Department of Social Services. The community will offer the safety and security of 24-hour staffing and support services for its residents. The community will have full-service ameniƟes for its residents to use as an extension of their home.
The following services will be available to the residents, including:
Three meals a day, served in a variety of dining opƟons including the community’s main dining room, bistro, and lobby lounge.
Assistance with AcƟviƟes of Daily Living (ADL’s) such as: eaƟng, bathing, dressing, walking and other personal needs.
Housekeeping services
TransportaƟon
Access to health and medical services
24-hour security
Emergency call systems
Exercise and wellness programs
MedicaƟon management
Laundry services
Social and recreaƟonal acƟviƟes
Staffing available to help with scheduled and unscheduled needs
We believe the following factors, among others, support our request for consideraƟon in amending the General Plan and EDSP:
The project will provide a best-in-class, very high-quality senior care community, fulfilling a vital need for your senior ciƟzens and their families
This is a logical locaƟon for a high-acuity senior living community, with proximity to complimentary medical services in the form of the adjacent Kaiser outpaƟent facility The project will generate approximately 45-65 posiƟons (part and full Ɵme) to the local community
The project presents an excellent opportunity to create a gateway property and provide an excellent transiƟon from the residenƟal high-density residenƟal uses to the west and north to the commercial uses to the east
The project has excellent access and visibility on Dublin Boulevard, for residents, their children, and employes
Given that the residents' average age is over 80 and with scheduled employee shiŌs “off peak” traffic Ɵmeframes, the Project will have minimal impacts of traffic and public faciliƟes The project will have no impact on local schools
405
3 Park Plaza | Suite 1920 | Irvine CA | 92614
As an elderly community, the property will be very quiet, ensuring peaceful surroundings for neighbors
Due to the site’s infill locaƟon, minimal biological impacts are anƟcipated, and only minor extensions of uƟliƟes would be required for development
Based on these factors, O&I Development requests the City of Dublin consider our proposed General Plan and EDSP Amendment.
Please let us know if any addiƟonal informaƟon would be helpful in making your decision and we look forward to working with you to bring a high-quality assisted living and memory care senior community to the City of Dublin.
Sincerely,
Colin M. Bagwell, CFA

STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL
Agenda Item 8.2
DATE: June 20, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT: Preview of the People of the Parks (P.O.P.) Program Prepared by: Anthony Calvo, Recreation Supervisor
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will receive a preview of a new program being developed by the Parks and Community Services Department. The People of the Parks (P.O.P) is being launched to encourage residents, community organizations, and Dublin businesses to participate in park beautification and environmental stewardship. The P.O.P. program will launch in Summer 2023.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive the presentation and provide feedback.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Initial costs and program expenses for the first year are estimated to be between $5,000 and $10,000. This cost will be absorbed in the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Adopted Budget. Any necessary ongoing budget adjustments to ensure program sustainability will be made during the annual budget process and will be subject to City Council approval.
DESCRIPTION:
Background
At its meeting on February 21, 2023, the City Council requested that Staff investigate programs and alternative ways to promote ongoing beautification of City parks, trails, and sidewalks while addressing concerns about litter buildup. Based on this request, Staff began researching similar programs operated by other jurisdictions throughout the Bay Area and the State of California.
Many jurisdictions have programs such as Friends of the Parks/Trails, Park/Trail Ambassadors, and the like. Staff has developed a program that is similar but is specifically tailored to the City of Dublin.
414
People of the Parks (P.O.P.) Program
P.O.P. is an ongoing, incentivized program encouraging community efforts to “Keep Dublin Clean & Green.” The program is designed for residents already frequenting parks, sidewalks, and trails and empowers them to support City beautification efforts by carrying a litter stick and bag and keeping those areas free of litter and debris. The program is also designed for people who might not actively use City facilities and amenities but want to start getting involved in taking care of their community.
In addition to individualized efforts, group efforts with the ability to adopt a park, trail, or any other agreed-upon location will be recognized. This framework is designed for families, community groups, organizations, and local businesses.
Program participants will be provided with vests or tee-shirts created specifically for this program to make them easily identifiable and assist with educating others about the program.
P.O.P. Program Details
Program Launch – July/August 2023
Youth Component – “Park Patrol” will be a branded campaign focusing on preschool and elementary-aged youth participating with family members. Program Locations – All City parks, trails, and other outdoor facilities/amenities. o Individual efforts may be specific to certain trails, neighborhoods, etc. Participants will be asked to provide location details upon registration. o Group efforts will focus on parks and trails, with larger parks and trail sections being divided to allow for increased participation. City Staff may also create specific areas tailored to an organization’s needs.
o Staff will maintain a comprehensive database that details volunteer efforts and locations.
Equipment – Upon registration, participants will receive a litter stick, gloves, a program- specific vest or tee-shirt, and a reusable litter collection bag. Program Tracking – Hours will be tracked on the honor system using easy-to-complete online forms. Participants will be asked to track hours on a per-occurrence basis and submit them for review quarterly.
Requirements – Registration with the City and completion of a Volunteer Waiver. o There are no hour minimums for individualized efforts, although participants are expected to have some level or re-occurring schedule of participation. This can be daily, weekly, bi-weekly, etc. There is no specific term commitment, which can be ongoing for as long as the participant wants to continue. o There are hour minimums on a monthly basis for groups that adopt a specific location.
Families are expected to complete eight hours per month (i.e., a family of four 415
volunteers twice a month, one hour each for each effort). This equates to approximately 100 hours per year.
Organizations/Community Groups/Businesses are expected to complete 16 hours per month or approximately 200 hours per year.
Group efforts are expected to commit at least one year to the program and will have the discretion to continue longer.
Incentives – Incentives will be provided quarterly, depending on the number of completed hours. Hours completed will equate to the number of entries into quarterly raffle drawings.
Prizes awarded will include City- and program-branded gifts, gift cards to local businesses, free or reduced passes to The Wave, and free or reduced passes to other City programs such as the Shamrock 5k, etc. The estimated value and/or cost for incentives is estimated to be around $2,000 annually.
Sponsorships – Staff will seek cash and in-kind donations to help offset program costs, such as litter pickup kits. In-kind donations will also be made available as part of the incentives raffled off each quarter.
Next Steps
Following feedback from the City Council, Staff will begin preparing the program for launch, including developing marketing and outreach materials, procuring supplies, creating registration and tracking forms, and completing other administrative tasks necessary.
The Parks and Community Services Department will review P.O.P. annually to ensure program outcomes are being met. Modifications, if necessary, will be made to meet the specific needs of participants and the community.
