Agenda packet — Dublin City Council, December 17, 2024 (part 2 of 3)

Compliance with All Ethics Requirements Regarding Independence The engagement team, others in our firm, as appropriate, and our firm, have complied with all relevant ethical requirements regarding independence.

Significant Risks Identified
We have identified the following significant risks:
x Risk of Management Override of Internal Controls – A risk of management override of internal controls exists at any entity where management can change or decide not to perform that entity’s internal controls.
x Revenue Recognition Risk – Errors in revenue recognition can affect bond covenant ratios and the net position of the City.

Qualitative Aspects of the Entity’s Significant Accounting Practices Significant Accounting Policies
Management has the responsibility to select and use appropriate accounting policies. A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the City is included in Note 1 to the financial statements.

There have been no initial selection of accounting policies and no changes in significant accounting policies or their application during the year ended June 30, 2024. No matters have come to our attention that would require us, under professional standard s, to inform you about (1) the methods used to account for significant unusual transactions and (2) the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus.

Significant Accounting Estimates and Related Disclosures Accounting estimates and related disclosures are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s cu rrent judgments. Those judgments are normally based on knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ markedly from management’s current judgments.

The most sensitive accounting estimates affecting the financial statements are valuations, capital asset depreciation and useful life, and pension and other post-employment benefits (OPEB) plan assumptions.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members

Management’s estimate of investment valuations, capital assets depreciation and useful life, and pension and OPEB plan assumptions are based on hi storical useful lives of such assets, actuarial assumptions, and the City’s investment custodians, respectively. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate of invest ment valuations, capital assets depreciation and useful life, and pension and OPEB plan assumption s and determined that they are reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole and in relation to the applicable opinion units.

Financial Statement Disclosures
Certain financial statement disclosures involve si gnificant judgment and are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users. The most sensitive disclosures affecting the City’s financial statements relate to:
x Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
x Cash and Investments
x Long-term Debt
x Capital Assets
x Employee Retirement Plans
x Other Post-Employment Benefits
x Commitments and Contingencies
Significant Difficulties Encountered during the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management relating to the performance of the audit.

Uncorrected and Corrected Misstatements
For purposes of this communication, professional standards also require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that we believe are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of mana gement. Further, professional standards require us to also communicate the effect of uncorrected misstatements related to prior periods on the relevant classes of transactions, account balances or disclosures, and the financial statements as a whole and each applicable opinion unit. Uncorrected missta tements or matters underlying those uncorrected misstatements could potentially cause future-period fi nancial statements to be materially misstated, even though the uncorrected misstatements are immaterial to the financial statements currently under audit.

In addition, professional standards require us to communicate to you all material, corrected misstatements that were brought to the attention of management as a result of our audit procedures.

None of the misstatements identified by us as a result of our audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole or applicable opinion units.

Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, which could be significant to the City’s fina ncial statements or the auditor’s report. No such disagreements arose during the course of the audit.

Representations Requested from Management
We have requested certain written representations from management, which are included in the attached letter dated December 10, 2024.

Management’s Consultations with Other Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters. Management informed us that, and to our knowledge, there were no consultations with other accountants regarding auditing and accounting matters.

Other Significant Matters, Findings, or Issues
In the normal course of our professional association with the City, we generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, significant events or transactions that occurred during the year, operating and regulatory conditions affecting the entity, and operational plans and strategies that may affect the risks of material misstatement. None of the matters discussed resulted in a condition to our retention as the City’s auditors.

Required Supplementary Information
We applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information (RSI) that supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the ba sic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.

Supplementary Information
We were engaged to report on the combining and in dividual nonmajor fund statements and budgetary comparison schedules for the major capital project funds and nonmajor governmental funds (supplementary information) which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared an d reconciled the supplementary information to the Attachment 3
278
To the Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council of the City of Dublin
Dublin, California

Page 7 ends

underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.

Other Information Included in the Annual Report
Pursuant to professional standards, our responsibility as auditors for the introductory and statistical sections, whether financial or nonfinancial, included in the City’s annual report, does not extend beyond the information identified in the audit report, and we are not required to perform any procedures to corroborate such other information. However, in accordance with such standards, we have read the information and considered whether such information, or the manner of its presentation, was materially inconsistent with its presentation in the financial statements.

Our responsibility also includes communicating to you any information which we believe is a material misstatement of fact. Nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that such information, or its manner of presentation, is materially incons istent with the information, or manner of its presentation, appearing in the financial statements.

This report is intended solely fo r the information and use of the City Council, and management of the City and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Dublin
Dublin, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the Measur e B Funds (Measure B Funds) of the City of Dublin, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements pr esent fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the Measure B Funds of the City, as of June 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordan ce with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing st andards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the Un ited States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Measure B Funds of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note A, the financ ial statements present only the Meas ure B Funds and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2024, and changes in its financial position for the year then ended in accordance with a ccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements The City’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally ac cepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Measure B Funds’ ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may in volve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggr egate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
x Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. x Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence rega rding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
x Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Measure B Funds’ internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. x Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
x Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Measure B Funds’ ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opin ions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Measure B Funds’ financial statements. The budgetary comparison information is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements.

The budgetary comparison information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and ot her records used to prepare the financial statements.

Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, in cluding comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other record s used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, budgetary information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards , we have also issued our report dated December 10, 2024 on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of la ws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Alameda County Transportation Commission – Measure B Funds Notes to Financial Statements
For the year ended June 30, 2024

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
All transactions of the Alameda County Transpor tation Commission – Measure B Funds (Measure B Funds) of the City of Dublin, California (City), are included as a separate special revenue fund in the basic financial statements of the City. Measure B Funds are used to account for the City’s share of revenues earned and expenditures incurred under the City’s local streets and roads, and bike and pedestrian programs. The accompanying financial statements are for Measure B Funds only and are not intended to fairly present the financial position or results of operations of the City.

B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting.

Revenues are generally recorded when measurable and available, and expenditures are recorded when the related liabilities are incurred.

The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. All governmental funds are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus, wherein only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of governmental funds present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets.

C. Fund Accounting
The operations of the Measure B Funds are accounted for in separate special revenue funds. The funds are separate accounting entities with a set of self-balancing accounts which comprise their assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenses.

D. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. MEASURE B FUNDS
Under Measure B, approved by the voters of Alameda County in 1986 (ACTA Old Measure B) and in 2000, (ACTC Measure B), the City receives a portion of the proc eeds of an additional one-half cent sales tax to be used for transportation-related expenditures. This measure was adopted with the intention that the funds generated by the additional sales tax will not fund expe nditures previously paid for by property taxes but, rather, would be used for additional projects and programs.

Major projects funded by Measure B were as follows:

Streets and Roads Program – To improve, repair, and overlay city streets.

Bike and Pedestrian Program – To provide sidewalk and American Disability Act (ADA) improvements and to implement the bikeway network.

3. CASH AND INVESTMENTS
Measure B funds are pooled with the City’s cash and investments in order to generate optimum interest income.

The City pools its available cash for investment purposes. The City’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturity of three months or less from date of acquisition. Cash an d cash equivalents are combined with investments and displayed as Cash and Investments.

Measure B Funds had the following cash and investments at June 30, 2024:

Cash and Investments $ 980
A. Investments
Under the provisions of the City’s investment polic y, and in accordance with California Government Code, the following investments are authorized:

For the year ended June 30, 2024

3. CASH AND INVESTMENTS, Continued
A. Investments, Continued
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools, investments were stated at fair value using the aggregate method in all funds and component units. The City’s investments are carrie d at fair market value as required by generally accepted accounting principles. The City accounts for all changes in fair value that occurred during the year and are reflected in the fund balance for th e fiscal year. These investment value changes are unrealized since the City’s policy is to generally hold and buy investments until maturity dates.

B. Risk Disclosures
Interest Rate Risk – Interest rate risk is the fluctuation in fair value of investments due to changes in interest rates. The City’s exposure to losses caused by risi ng interest rates is minimized by limiting the average maturity of the City’s investment not to exceed five years.

Credit Risk – Credit risk is the risk of loss of value of a security or investment due to downgrade of its rating due to a change in the ability of the issuer to fulfill its debt obligation. With the exception of U.S.

Treasury securities and authorized pools, no more than 50% of the City’s total investment portfolio will be invested in a single security type or with a single financial institution to reduce the City’s exposure to credit risks.

Custodial Credit Risk – The custodial credit risk for an investment is the risk that in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the City will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. None of the City’s investments were subject to custodial credit risk.

The City’s investments with LAIF at June 30, 2024 include a portion of the pool funds invested in Structured Notes and Asset-Backed Securities. These investments include the following:

Structured Notes – are debt securities (other than asset-back ed securities) whose cash flow characteristics (coupon rate, redemption amount, or stated maturity) depend upon one or more indices and/or have embedded forwards or options.

Asset-Backed Securities – the bulk of which are mortgage-backed securities, entitle their purchasers to receive a share of the cash flows from a pool of assets such as principal and interest repayments from a pool of mortgages (such as Collateralized Mortgage Obligations) or credit card receivables.

As of June 30, 2024, the City invested in LAIF, which had invested 3.00% of the pool investment funds in Structured Notes and Asset-Backed Securities as comp ared to 2.78% in the previous year. The LAIF fair value factor of .996316042 was used to calculate the fair value of the investments in LAIF. 9 Attachment 4

1. BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the basic financial statements:
x Prior to June 30 the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them.
x The public is given an opportunity to comment on the budget at a noticed City Council meeting. Prior to July 1, the budget is legally enacted through passage of a resolution. x During the fiscal year, the City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between line items, provided that the transfer is within the same fund, regardless of the specific department activity. This include the authority to transfer from the General Fund budgeted contingency amounts that are approved by the City Council during the budget adoption. The City Manager is authorized to increase revenue and expenditure budget for various departmental functions, when the net budget impact is zero.
x The City Manager is authorized to increase the a ppropriations for the following fiscal year in an amount not to exceed the amount of funds encumbered or designated by the City Manager as needed for expenses that did not occur prior to the year-end, but are expected to be expended in the next year consistent with the original purpose.
x Formal budgetary integration is employed as a ma nagement control device during the year for the general fund, special revenue funds and capital projects funds. x Budgets for the general, special revenue and capital projects funds are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. 12 Attachment 4

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE

AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH

GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
of the City of Dublin
Dublin, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing st andards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the Measure B Funds (Measure B Funds) of the City of Dublin, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 10, 2024.

Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limi ted purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficien c i e s i n i n t e r n a l c o n t r o l t h a t m i g h t b e m a t e r i a l weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these lim itations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Measure B Funds’ financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statement. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL

OVER COMPLIANCE FOR MEASURE B
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council of the City of Dublin
Dublin, California
Report on Compliance for Measure B
Opinion on Compliance for Measure B
We have audited City of Dublin’s (City) compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the agreement between the City and Alameda County Transportation Commission that could have a direct and material effect on its Measure B 2000 Funds (Measure B Funds) for the year ended June 30, 2024.

In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on its Measure B Funds for the year ended June 30, 2024.

Basis for Opinion on Measure B
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance w i t h a u d i t i n g s t a n d a r d s g e n e r a l l y a c c e p t e d i n t h e United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financia l audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States ( Government Auditing Standards ); and the agreement between the City and Alameda County Transportation Commission. Our responsibilities under those standards and are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.

We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on compliance for the City’s Measure B Funds.

Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Measure B Funds compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.

Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the City’s Measure B Funds.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the Measure B Fund’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards , and the agreement between the City and Alameda County Transportation Commission will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referr ed to above is considered material, if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the a ggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about th e Measure B Fund’s compliance with the requirements of the agreement between the City and Alameda County Transportation Commission.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the agreement between the City and Alameda County Transportation Commission, we:
x Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. x Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the Measure B Fund s’ compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
x Obtain an understanding of the City’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the agreement between the City and Alameda County Transportation Commission, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of City’s internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

Report on Internal Control over Compliance
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section ab ove and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined below. However, material weaknesses or significant de ficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.

A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of the agreement between the City and the Alameda County Transportation Commission on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of de ficiencies in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of the agreement between the City and the Alameda County Transportation Commission will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of the agreement between the City and the Alameda County Transportation Commission that is less severe than a material weakne ss in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the agreement between the City and the Alameda County Transportation Commission. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the Measure BB Funds (Measure BB Funds) of the City of Dublin, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements pr esent fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the Measure BB Funds of the City, as of June 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordan ce with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing st andards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the Un ited States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Measure BB Funds of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note A, the financial statements present only the Measure BB Funds and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2024, and changes in its financial position for the year then ended in accordance with a ccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise subs tantial doubt about the Measure BB Funds’ ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
x Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. x Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence rega rding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
x Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Measure BB Funds’ internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. x Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
x Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Measure BB Fund s’ ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

Under Measure BB, approved by the vo ters of Alameda County in 2014, the City receives a portion of the proceeds of an additional one-half cent sale s tax t o be use d for t ransp ortation-related expenditures. This measure was adopted with the intention that the funds generated by the additional sales tax will not fund expenditures previously paid for by property taxes but, rather, would be used for additional projects and programs.

Major projects funded by Measure BB were as follows:

Streets and Roads Program – To improve, repair, and overlay city streets.

x The public is given an opportunity to comment on the budget at a noticed City Council meeting. Prior to July 1, the budget is legally enacted through passage of a resolution. x During the fiscal year, the City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between line items, provided that the transfer is within the same fund, regardless of the specific department activity. This include the authority to transfer from the General Fund budgeted contingency amounts that are approved by the City Council during the budget adoption. The City Manager is authorized to increase revenue and expenditure budget for various departmental functions, when the net budget impact is zero.
x The City Manager is authorized to increase the a ppropriations for the following fiscal year in an amount not to exceed the amount of funds encumbered or designated by the City Manager as needed for expenses that did not occur prior to the year-end, but are expected to be expended in the next year consistent with the original purpose.

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE

AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH

GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Honorable Mayor and Members
of City Council of the City of Dublin
Dublin, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing st andards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the Measure BB Funds (Measure BB Funds) of the City of Dublin, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 10, 2024.

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting in relation to Measure BB Fu nds (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limi ted purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given thes e limitations, during our audit we di d not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Measure BB Funds’ financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integr al part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL

OVER COMPLIANCE FOR MEASURE BB
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council of the City of Dublin
Dublin, California
Report on Compliance for Measure BB
Opinion on Compliance for Measure BB
We have audited City of Dublin’s (City) compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the agreement between the City and Alameda County Transportation Commission that could have a direct and material effect on its Measure BB Funds (Measure BB Funds) for the year ended June 30, 2024.

In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on its Measure BB Funds for the year ended June 30, 2024.

Basis for Opinion on Measure BB
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance w i t h a u d i t i n g s t a n d a r d s g e n e r a l l y a c c e p t e d i n t h e United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financia l audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States ( Government Auditing Standards ); and the agreement between the City and Alameda County Transportation Commission. Our responsibilities under those standards and are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the Measure BB Fund’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards , and the agreement between the City and Alameda County Transportation Commission will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referr ed to above is considered material, if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the a ggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the Measure BB Fund’s compliance with the requirements of the agreement between the City and Alameda County Transportation Commission.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the agreement between the City and Alameda County Transportation Commission, we:
x Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. x Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the Measure BB Funds’ compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
x Obtain an understanding of the City’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the agreement between the City and Alameda County Transportation Commission, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of City’s internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

Other Matters
Under Measure BB, approved by the voters of Alameda County in 2014, the City has received a total of 12 months of revenue from July 2023 through June 2024. The Local Street and Roads program has received $1,412,275 and the Bike and Pedestrian program has received $478,538. 18 Attachment 5

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the Meas ure F Alameda County Vehicle Registration Fee Fund (VRF Fund) of the City of Dublin, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the VRF Fund of the City, as of June 30, 2024, and the changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing st andards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the VRF Fund of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note A, the financial statements present only the VRF Fund and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2024, and changes in its financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements The City’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control re levant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substant ial doubt about the VRF Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the fina ncial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
x Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. x Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. x Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the VRF Fund’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. x Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
x Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the VR F Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting.

Revenues are generally recorded when measurable and available, and expenditures are recorded when the related liabilities are incurred.

Operating statements of governmental funds present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets.

C. Fund Accounting
The operations of the VRF Fund are accounted for as part of the State Construction and Maintenance Fund. Funds are separate accounting entities with a set of self-balancing accounts which comprise their assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures.

E. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments
The City pools its available cash for investment purposes. The City’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturity of three months or less from date of acquisition.

In addition, other disclosures are specified includin g use of certain methods to present deposits and investments, highly sensitive investments, credit quality at year-end and other disclosures.

In accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools, highly liquid market investments with maturities of one year or less at time of purchase are stated at amortized cost.

The City participates in an investment pool manage d by the State of California titled Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) which has invested a port ion of the pooled funds in Structured Notes and Asset-Backed Securities.

In addition, these Structured Notes and Asset- Backed Securities are subject to market risk as to change in interest rates.

F. Revenues and Receivables
During the course of normal operations, the fund carries various receivable balances for intergovernmental revenue and interest. Revenues are recorded when received in cash, except revenues subject to accrual (generally 60 days after year-end ) are recognized when due. The primary revenue sources, which have been treated as susceptibl e to accrual by the fund, are Measure F vehicle registration fees.

2. MEASURE F ALAMEDA COUNTY VEHICLE REGISTRATION FEES
The Measure F Alameda County Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF) Program was approved by the voters in November 2010, with 63 percent of the vote. The fee will generate about $11 million per year by a $10 per year vehicle registration fee. The co llection of the $10 per year vehicle re gistration fee started in the first week of May 2011.

x Local Transportation Technology (10 percent)
x Pedestrian and Bicyclist Access and Safety Program (5 percent) 8 Attachment 6

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the VRF Fund’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compli ance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements.

The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance.

REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL

OVER COMPLIANCE FOR MEASURE F
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council of the City of Dublin
Dublin, California
Report on Compliance for Measure F
Opinion on Compliance for Measure F
We have audited City of Dublin’s (City) compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the agreement between the City and Alameda County Transportation Commission that could have a direct and material effect on its Measure F Alameda County Vehicle Registration Fee Fund (VRF Fund) for the year ended June 30, 2024.

In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on its VRF Fund for the year ended June 30, 2024.

Basis for Opinion on Measure F
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance w i t h a u d i t i n g s t a n d a r d s g e n e r a l l y a c c e p t e d i n t h e United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financia l audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States ( Government Auditing Standards ); and the agreement between the City and Alameda County Transportation Commission. Our responsibilities under those standards and are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.

We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for ou r opinion on compliance for the City’s VRF Fund. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the VRF Fund’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the VRF Fund’s compliance based on our audit. Reas onable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards , and the agreement between the City and Alameda County Transportation Commission will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than fo r that resulting from erro r, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepre sentations, or the override of internal control.

Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referr ed to above is considered material, if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the a ggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the VRF Fund’s compliance with the requirements of the agreement between the City and Alameda County Transportation Commission.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the agreement between the City and Alameda County Transportation Commission, we:
x Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. x Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the VRF Fund’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. x Obtain an understanding of the City’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the agreement between the City and Alameda County Transportation Commission, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of City’s internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

Report on Internal Control over Compliance
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section ab ove and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined below. However, material weaknesses or significant de ficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Dublin
Dublin, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the Transportation Development Act Fund (TDA Fund) of the City of Dublin, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the TDA Fund of the City, as of June 30, 2024, and the changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing st andards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the TDA Fund of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note A, the financial statements present only the TDA Fund and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2024, and changes in its financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements The City’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control re levant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the TDA Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the fina ncial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
x Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. x Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. x Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the TDA Fund’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. x Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
x Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the TDA Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of the Transportation Development Act on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of the Transportation Development Act will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of the Transportation Development Act that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Transportation Development Act. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

An examination involves perf orming procedures to obtain evidence about whether the City complied with the specified requirements. The nature, timing, and extent of the procedures selected depend on our judgme nt, including an assessment of the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error. We believe that the evidence we obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to Appropriations Limit Schedule
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025

1. PURPOSE OF LIMITED PROCEDURES REVIEW
Under Article XIIIB of the California Constitution (the Gann Spending Limitation Initiative), California governmental agencies are restricted as to the amount of annual appropriations from proceeds of taxes.

Effective for years beginning on or after July 1, 1990, under Section 1.5 of Article XIIIB, the annual calculation of the appropriations limit is subject to a limited procedures review in connection with the annual audit.

2. METHOD OF CALCULATION
Under Section 10.5 of Article XIIIB, for fiscal years beginning on or after July 1990, the appropriations limit is required to be calculated based on the limit for the fiscal year 1986-1987, adjusted for the inflation and population factors discussed in Notes 3 and 4 below.

3. INFLATION FACTORS
A California governmental agency may adjust its appropriations limit by either the annual percentage change in the 4th quarter per capita personal income (which percentage is supplied by the State Department of Finance), or the percentage change in the local assessment roll from the preceding year due to the change of local nonresidential construction. The factor adopte d by the City of Dublin for the fiscal year 2024-2025 represents the annual percentage change in the 4th quarter per capita personal income.

4. POPULATION FACTORS
A California governmental agency may adjust its appropriations limit by either the annual percentage change of the jurisdiction’s own population, or the annual percentage change in population in the County where the jurisdiction is located. The factor adopted by the City of Dublin for fiscal year 2024-2025 represents the annual percentage change in population for the City.

5. OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
A California government agency may be required to adjust its appropriations limit when certain events occur, such as the transfer of responsibility for muni cipal services, to, or from, another government agency or private entity. There were no adjustments made for fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. 4 Attachment 9

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND

OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN

ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Dublin
Dublin, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing st andards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund inform ation of the City of Dublin, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the relate d notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated December 10, 2024.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable poss ibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal contro l was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficien cies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whet her the City’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its comp liance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statement. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Agenda Item 5.4
DATE: December 17, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT: Annual Report of Developer Impact Fee Funds Deposits: Pursuant to California Government Code Sections 66002, 66006, and 66008 (AB 1600) Prepared by: Jay Baksa, Finance Director
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

State law requires the City to review and report on an annual basis the status of development fees collected to finance public improvements. The report covers activity which occurred in these funds during Fiscal Year 2023-24. The analysis has determined that all funds held for more than five years are necessary to complete identified projects.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Accept the report and adopt the Resolution Making Findings Regarding Unexpended Traffic Impact Fees for Fiscal Year 2023-24 and approve the budget change.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The financial impacts and accounting of development impact fees are discussed as part of the Staff Report. It should be noted that the Public Facility Impact Fees Fund received an advance in Fiscal Year 2023-24 from the General Fund Committed Reserve – Advance to Public Facility Fee for Wallis Ranch Community Park, Forest Park, and the Library Tenant Improvements.

DESCRIPTION:

Background
Cities are authorized under State Law to require development applicants to contribute fees toward off-site public improvements, which are needed as a result of the new development. The law requires the City to review, on an annual basis, the status of development fees collected, and to provide a report 180 days from the end of the fiscal year. In addition, California Government Code Section 66006(b)(2) requires the report to be included on the City Council meeting agenda at a public meeting not less than 15 days after the information was made available. In the event any fees remain unexpended for more than five years, the City Council must adopt a resolution 374

Page 2 of 5 ends

making certain findings related to the continued need for the funds to complete the improvements. If findings are not made to support the retention of the funds, the unexpended fees must be returned to the current owners of the subject property.

Major Components of the Report
The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Annual Report of Developer Funds (Attachment 2) provides information covering the period of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. The law requires disclosure of numerous details with respect to activity in these accounts, including beginning and ending balances, collections for the year, expenditures for the year, interest earned, and refunds. For this report, the City is providing information on the following funds:
 City Impact Fees:
o Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fees (EDTIF)
o Western Dublin Transportation Impact Fees (WDTIF)
o Specific Project Mitigation Fee
o Public Facilities Impact Fees
o Fire Impact Fees
o Dublin Crossing Transportation Fee
 Regional Impact/Mitigation Fees:
o Tri-Valley Transportation Development (TVTD) Fees
o Regional Traffic Impact Fees Category 3 (Fee was included in EDTIF, suspended and replaced with TVTD Fees)
o Dublin - Contra Costa County Traffic Impact Mitigation Fees  Pass Through Fees:
o Freeway Interchange Fees
o BART Garage (Included in EDTIF)
Table 1 provides a high-level summary of the activity for the year, including the beginning and ending balances.

It is important to note that these fees are restricted and can only be used for the capital-related purposes for which they have been collected. Given the multi-year nature of the capital projects to be financed, it is expected that funds will be accumulated and used based on the timing of construction. During Fiscal Year 2023-24, the net balance of all funds reported decreased by $2,430,421, which was largely attributable to the net impact of Public Facilities Fee and Traffic Impact Fee funds collected during the year, and expenditures for the Cultural Arts Center and Wallis Ranch Community Park. A detailed accounting of each of the major categories is shown in the schedules included in Attachment 2.

Funds Remaining Unexpended More Than Five Years After Being Collected One of the provisions in the State law regulating development fees is to regularly review funds collected and held for more than five years and to make certain findings to continue to hold those funds. Table 2 summarizes the accounts with contributions which have remained unexpended for more than five years.

2Fifteen projects in EDTIF fee program will be undertaken beyond the current CIP time frame, totaling approximately $61.7 million.
3Eight projects in the WDTIF fee program will be undertaken beyond the current CIP time frame, totaling approximately $8.8 million.

Proposed Resolution Making Necessary Findings
To be able to retain fees longer than five years, certain findings must be made by the City Council.

Without this action, the fees would need to be refunded. All fees summarized in the previous section of this report have identified projects that will require funding in the future. The funding needed includes the accumulated interest, which is allocated to and expended on only the authorized projects. Adoption of the Resolution (Attachment 1) will allow the City to continue to retain the fees to fund the projects for which they were collected.

Right to Reimbursement
As provided for in the Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines, Staff is to annually evaluate impact fee balances and analyze the potential use of funds collected to reduce Impact Fee Credits that have converted to a Right to Reimbursement (RTR).

When a developer is granted an Impact Fee Credit, the initial credit period is 10 years. During that time the credit can be applied against fees owed. At the end of the credit period, a developer has an option to extend the credit period in perpetuity or convert to an RTR. The RTR continues for 10 years, and any unpaid amount is forfeited at the end of the RTR period. 377

Page 5 of 5 ends

The following is a summary of current impact fee RTR balances:
 Eastern Dublin TIF - $499,759
 Fire - $1,238,824
Additionally, Staff annually budgets RTR payments conservatively based on expected fee revenue.

At times, if the City receives more fees than projected, Staff requests a budget adjustment during the annual AB1600 review. Staff recommends the City Council approve a budget change in the amount of $175,000 for reimbursement of Fire Impact Fee credits.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

None.

NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:

Government Code Section 66006(b)(2) requires the report to be included on the City Council meeting agenda at a public meeting not less than 15 days after the information was made available. Staff previously made available to the public a draft copy of this report on Monday, December 2, 2024. In addition, the Government Code Section requires that notice of the meeting shall be mailed, at least 15 days prior to the meeting, to any interested party who files a written request with the local agency for mailed notice of the meeting. The Finance Department mailed notices to interested parties who have filed requests in the past.

DESCRIPTION OF IMPACT FEES

4 The studies and supporting documentation presented or adopted as part of the resolutions noted above identify the public improvements that those fees will be used to finance. These studies also show that there is a reasonable relationship: a) between the fees’ use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed; and b) between the need for the public facility and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.

B. ANALYSIS OF FEES LEVIED AGAINST DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SEC. 66001 OF THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE (CGC) AND UNSPENT AFTER 5 YEARS
The purpose of the review was to identify monies that have been collected and held for a period of more than five years and to make appropriate disclosures.

The City of Dublin has analyzed the balance of monies held, at the beginning of Fiscal Year 2023- 24 (July 1, 2023 ). The balances were evaluated based on “developer fees collected” separate from interest revenue. As of July 1, 20 23, there were two projects involving the use of Traffic Mitigation Contributions, which has developer fees that continued to be held for more than five years. There were also four impact fees that have developer fees that continued to be held for more than five years. In accordance with State Law , the City Council has previously adopted Resolution #120-22 on December 5, 2023 declaring the need to continue to maintain the funds.

The projects using the impact fees as funding sources are included in the City of Dublin Five Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) 2024–2029. Based on expenditures during Fiscal Year 2023- 24, as of June 30, 2024, there is one project that uses Traffic Mitigation Contributions which has developer fees that continued to be held for more than five years . Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee, Western Dublin Transportation Impact Fee, Dougherty Valley Traffic Mitigation Fee, and Tri-Valley Transportation Development Fee also have developer funds collected and held for more than five years. Details related to the projects which have funds held for more than five years are identified below.

Agenda Item 5.6
DATE: December 17, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT: Revisions to the Classification Plan in Accordance with Senate Bill 1100 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 job specifications in the City’s Classification Plan in accordance with Senate Bill (SB) 1100.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the Resolution Amending the Classification Plan.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

None.

DESCRIPTION:

Pursuant to the City’s Personnel System Rules, a job specification must be adopted for each classification in the organization. Currently, all City job specifications require a candidate to have a driver’s license in order to meet the minimum qualifications of the job.

On September 28, 2024, Governor Newsom signed SB 1100 into law making it an unlawful employment practice, under most circumstances, to include statements about the need for a driver’s license in job advertisements, postings, applications, and similar employment material.

Under this law, an employer may not include a statement that an applicant must have a driver’s license unless the following two conditions are met:

1. The employer reasonably expects driving to be one of the job functions of the position; and

2. The employer reasonably believes that using an alternative form of transportation would not be comparable in travel time or cost to the employer. 403

Page 2 of 3 ends

SB 1100 defines “alternative form of transportation” as ride-hailing services, a taxi, carpooling, bicycling and walking. This law takes effect on January 1, 2025.

A review of all City job specifications was conducted in preparation for the new law going into effect. Attachment 1 amends the following job specifications to remove the driver’s license requirement for the following classifications, as driving is not an essential function of the job:

Administrative Aide

Additionally, two classifications, Recreation Technician and Recreation Leader, have been identified as requiring the need for a driver’s license, only when assigned to certain locations. To address this, Attachment 1 amends these two job specifications to read, “Possession of a valid California Class C Driver’s License and certificate of automobile insurance for personal liability may be required, depending on assignment.”

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN

AMENDING A PROVISION OF THE DUBLIN GENERAL PLAN THAT WAS ADDED BY THE DUBLIN OPEN SPACE INITIATIVE OF 2014
The People of the City of Dublin do ordain as follows:

Section 1. The last paragraph of Section 2.8.8 of the Dublin General Plan (which was added pursuant to the Dublin Open Space Initiative of 2014) is amended to read as follows (material deleted from the General Plan is in strikeout type):
“Ten years after June 3, 2014, the City Council shall study commercial development along the extension of Dublin Boulevard to North Canyons Parkway up to 1,200 feet north of lnterstate Highway 580. The Council should consider, among other matters, whether commercial development is needed to fund the construction or maintenance of the extension, and if water supply and wastewater service is assured for any development. The Council may put a measure on the ballot to authorize development in the designated area. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Dublin Open Space Initiative of 2014 and this Section 2.8, the City shall not be prevented from designating for commercial development, consistent with what is permitted on the lands to the immediate west and within the City limits, the portion of the property east of the Dublin Eastern Urban Limit Line up to the Livermore city boundary and along the proposed extension of Dublin Boulevard to North Canyons Parkway, up to 1,200 feet north of lnterstate 580 (the “1,200 foot line”). Notwithstanding the geographic limitations in the previous sentence, commercial development may be approved in the portion north of the 1,200 foot line to the west of Cottonwood Creek, so long as the total area of developed land does not exceed 80 acres, thus ensuring that at least 100 acres of the property are preserved as open space. The City Council in determining whether to give such authorization shall be required to find that the proposed commercial development would contribute substantially to the funding of the construction and/or maintenance of the Dublin Boulevard extension, that at least 100 acres of open space will be permanently protected, that the portion of the right of way for Dublin Boulevard on the property was provided by the property owner without cost to the City (either through reimbursement for acquisition costs or dedication), and that water supply and wastewater service is assured for any development. If such future commercial development is authorized by the Council, the other provisions of the Dublin Open Space Initiative of 2014 and this section 2.8 shall not apply to it.

Section 2. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall be considered as adopted upon the date that the vote is declared by the City Council and shall go into effect ten days after 440
Ord. No. 14-24, Item X.X, Adopted 12/17/2024 Page 2 of 2 that date as provided in Elections Code Section 9217.

Section 3. Posting. The City Clerk of the City of Dublin shall cause this Ordinance to be posted in at least three public places in the City of Dublin in accordance with Section 36933 of the Government Code of the State of California.

APPROVED by the following vote of the people on November 5, 2024:

CITY OF DUBLIN MEASURE II: Yes Votes = 13,649 No Votes = 12,052 ADOPTED by Declaration of the vote by the City Council of the City of Dublin on December 17, 2024.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN

ADOPTING THE DUBLIN GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY ACT
The People of the City of Dublin do ordain as follows:

Section 1. Chapter 2.50 is added to Title 2 of the Dublin Municipal Code to read as follows:
“Chapter 2.50

PROHIBITION ON ACCEPTANCE OF GIFTS FROM AND SERVICE ON CITY

COMMISSIONS BY CITY CONTRACTORS AND LOBBYISTS
Section 2.50.010 Prohibition on Acceptance of Gifts.

No elected City official or member of a City commission may receive any gift from a City contractor or lobbyist.

No person may make, and no elected City official or member of a City commission accept, any gift with the intent to influence an elected City official or members of a City commission in the performance of any official act.

No elected City official or members of a City commission may accept or receive any gift from anyone other than the City for the performance of a specific service or act that the elected City official or members of a City commission is expected to render in the regular course of his or her City duties, or for advice about City processes.

Section 2.50.020 Prohibition from Serving on Commissions.

Lobbyists are not eligible for membership on commissions created by the City Council. A commissioner shall be deemed to have forfeited his or her office upon becoming a lobbyist.

Section 2.50.030 Definitions.

For purposes of this Chapter,
“City contractor” is any person or entity that contracts or is seeking to contract with the City.
“Elected City official” shall mean the Mayor or a member of the City Council. “Gift” is any payment or other benefit that confers a personal benefit for which an elected City official or a member of a City commission does not provide payment or services of equal or greater value. A gift includes a rebate or discount in the price of anything of value unless the rebate or discount is made in the regular course of business to members of the public. An elected City official or a member of a City commission has received or accepted 442
Ord. No. 14-24, Item X.X, Adopted 12/17/2024 Page 2 of 3 a gift when he or she has actual possession of the gift or when he or she takes any action exercising direction or control over the gift, including discarding the gift or turning it over to another person. This includes gifts that are accepted by someone else on the official’s behalf and gifts made to others at the direction of the official. A “gift” does not include items that are returned (unused) to the donor, for which the official reimburses the donor within 30 days of receipt, or that are donated unused to a non-profit, tax- exempt (501(c)(3)) organization in which the official or immediate family member does not hold a position, or to a government agency within 30 days of receipt without claiming a deduction for tax purposes.
“Lobbyist” is any person who during the prior 12 months knowingly attempted to influence an elected City official or members of a City commission in any legislative or administrative action.

A “member of a City commission” is a commissioner of the Planning Commission, the Human Services Commission, the Parks and Community Services Commission, the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission, and any other Commission that is created by the City Council of the City of Dublin.”
Section 2. Chapter 2.52 is added to Title 2 of the Dublin Municipal Code to read as follows:
“Chapter 2.52

TRANSPARENCY IN PUBLIC CONTRACTS AND FINANCIAL REPORTING

2.52.010 Posting of City Contracts on City Website for Public Review All agreements requiring City Council approval must be posted on the City’s website and be made available to the public prior to City Council action unless the City Attorney determines that to do so would not be in the City’s interest.

2.52.020 Posting of Monthly Financial Statements on City Website.

To help ensure transparency, the City shall timely post on its website monthly financial reporting including budget to actual results for revenues and expenditures for major funds within the City’s annual budget.”
Section 4. Section 2.08.050 of the Dublin Municipal Code, entitled Term Limits, is amended to read as follows:
“2.08.050 Term limits.

No person shall serve consecutive terms as Councilmember, Mayor, or any combination of Councilmember or Mayor that would exceed 12 years. For the exclusive purpose of measuring duration under this provision and for no other purpose, the terms of Mayor and Councilmembers shall be deemed to start and end on December 1 following the general municipal election at which such office, as the case may be, is regularly filled.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any partial term served by a Councilmember or Mayor shall not be considered a consecutive term if it commenced on or after the first (with respect to the Mayor) or second (with respect to a Councilmember) anniversary of the date on which 443
Ord. No. 14-24, Item X.X, Adopted 12/17/2024 Page 3 of 3 the former incumbent’s term commenced, and in such cases the initial consecutive term shall be deemed to have commenced under this Section when the Councilmember or Mayor commences his or her subsequent term. Mayors and Councilmembers who were in office on the effective date of this subdivision may serve only the number of terms allowed at the time of the last election before this provision was enacted.” Section 6. Severability . If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The voters of the City of Dublin hereby declares that they would have passed this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause and phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases be declared invalid.

Section 7. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall be considered as adopted upon the date that the vote is declared by the City Council and shall go into effect ten days after that date as provided in Elections Code Section 9217.

Section 8. Posting. The City Clerk of the City of Dublin shall cause this Ordinance to be posted in at least three public places in the City of Dublin in accordance with Section 36933 of the Government Code of the State of California.

APPROVED by the following vote of the people on November 5, 2024:

Application Questions
What education, training or experience do you have in cultural arts or heritage? My experience spans years of hands-on work in cultural arts. In addition to serving as a Heritage and Cultural Arts Commissioner, I’ve founded EverPro Kids—an after-school art enrichment program in Dublin through which I have taught thousands of students. I provide classes that are taught all over City of Dublin centers, as well as numerous school locations as after-school programs.. For the past 17 years, my students have excelled through various medium and art techniques. I’ve been privileged to host an annual exhibition of all my students’ artwork in the Dublin City Hall. It has been an absolute honor being able to integrate my students’ art into the city’s rich heritage. I’ve also served as the Social Media and Publicity Chair for the Tri-Valley Artist Studio Tour (TVAST), where I managed extensive publicity eﬀorts and collaborated with local news outlets to promote over 80 local artists. Through these roles, I’ve helped guide the city’s art and cultural initiatives and ensure they honor Dublin’s heritage while connecting with its diverse, evolving community.

List the artistic, cultural, and/or historic activities in which you have participated (particularly within the City of Dublin).

My involvement with the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission began in 2019, where I served ﬁrst as an alternate commissioner and later as a full commissioner, including a term as Vice Chair in 2021. I have also contributed to several art selection committees, including those for selecting an installment for the new Police Station (Public Safety Complex), Kolb Heritage Park, the Zeiss Innovation Center, and Sean Diamond Park. Additionally, I helped lead the eﬀorts in bringing the Dublin Cultural Arts Center to fruition through extensive layout planning.

Furthermore, I have been a professional artist for the past 20 years and have exhibited my own artwork widely in venues such as the SF SOMA Arts, Firehouse Art Center, Lindsey Dirkx Gallery, Dougherty Station Art Center, and various Bay Area art galleries.

Dublin has a rich heritage that has been preserved through parks, facilities, and programs. Dublin’s recent history comprises diverse growth and demographics. How do you bridge the pioneer era with the more recent growth that has shaped what Dublin is today?
I see Dublin’s heritage as an inﬁnite-growing vibrant canvas that is painted with every new resident, cultural event, and public art piece. As we continue to create a masterpiece, it’s important we ask ourselves the question: How can we weave together tradition and innovation? Public art, to me, is one of the primary bridges between history and contemporary art that reﬂect Dublin’s rich history and its modern, diverse community. Parks are the ideal setting for this—where heritage gardens can sit alongside modern murals and utility box art. We have the opportunity to install statues, murals, and displays that thousands of people can walk amongst.

I envision creating more public spaces that celebrate this unique blend—places where residents can experience Dublin’s evolution through interactive installations, historical storytelling, and community art projects. For example, we could introduce art festivals that invite local artists to reinterpret Dublin’s history through various mediums, or even create more walking tours that link historical landmarks with newly created artworks inspired by those sites.

What knowledge do you have of public art and public art programs in Dublin? I’m quite familiar with the public art displays and programs in Dublin due to my extensive background as a Heritage and Cultural Arts Commissioner. I’ve been a part of countless programs that chose the best installment for a selected location based on local artists and their unique contribution to the public art of our local community.

What is the most important contribution you feel you can make as a member of the Heritage & Cultural Arts Commission? My main contribution: bold ideas that push boundaries—or even reimagine them completely.Our public spaces should do more than just display the past; they should reﬂect the city’s dynamic growth. Old and new traditions should coexist in meaningful dialogue. Dublin’s identity should evolve with purpose—so that tradition is blended with innovation in ways that resonate with every resident.

With my experience in public art projects, event organization, and community education, I know how to expand participation in heritage events and art initiatives. My goal is to create programs that transform Dublin’s history into a lived experience—immersive, participatory, and reﬂective of Dublin’s future. dynamic art installations, rotating cultural exhibits, and community-driven storytelling projects just to name a few. By pushing the boundaries of what heritage and cultural arts can be, I know we can create spaces and events that inspire, connect, and evolve alongside Dublin itself.

Please list any current or recent membership in arts, culture or heritage organizations.

I’ve been on the Heritage and Arts Commission as a commissioner for the past 6 years. I am a member at large of the Alliance of Visual Arts (AVA), where I represent the Tri-Valley area and support local art organizations, foster a creative network among artists, and connect them 454
with the community. Through AVA, I contribute to eﬀorts that inform the public about visual art events and provide local artists with a platform to showcase their work online for free. In addition, I am a member of the Tri-Valley Artist Studio Tour (TVAST). I used to serve as the Social Media and Publicity Chair where I worked extensively with local publications and news outlets to bring visibility to the event and the incredible talent of over 80 participating artists across the Tri-Valley area. Through this role, I’ve helped amplify TVAST’s presence by developing strong partnerships with the media and crafting engaging publicity strategies. I’ve also been able to build connections within the local arts community and to enhance the visibility and appreciation of art in our region. I’m also currently a commissioner for the Heritage and Cultural Art Commissioner. Additionally, as an artist I’m a part of Dublin Art Collective, Pleasanton Art League, Livermore Art Association, and various Bay Area art gallery associations.

What experience do you have serving on advisory committees, task forces, boards or commissions? I have served as a commissioner on Dublin’s Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission for the past six years, including a term as Vice Chair in 2021. In this role, I have been deeply involved in public art selection, working with city staﬀ and fellow commissioners to ensure art installations align with Dublin’s values and community vision. My experience also includes judging various art exhibitions across the Bay Area, where I’ve supported local artists and contributed to art recognition initiatives in the region. I’ve been able to gain valuable skills in collaborative decision-making, community engagement, and strategic planning within an advisory setting.

Why are you interested in serving on the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission? To express my love for the culture of Dublin.

I’m inspired to have the opportunity to contribute to a community that has given so much to its residents—both old and new. I see Dublin as a city with heritage that continues to meet modernity, where pioneer stories share the room with new voices, and where every resident is given the chance to ﬁnd themselves in the city’s evolving landscape. By serving on the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission, I can help transform Dublin’s story into one that continues to grow and resonate with everyone who calls this city home.

My vision is to honor Dublin’s rich heritage while creating spaces and programs that engage and connect. I want to support initiatives that make history feel alive—whether through public art that captures our city's journey, events that celebrate both tradition and innovation, or educational programs that inspire pride and belonging. I believe cultural arts should be platforms for connection, creativity, and community growth.

I hope to bring fresh ideas to the commission that reﬂect Dublin’s unique spirit and foster an inclusive cultural identity where every resident feels values. I am excited to be part of shaping a Dublin that uses art and culture as powerful tools to bridge generations and build a stronger, more united community.

Application Questions
What education, training or experience do you have in cultural arts or heritage? I have a deep appreciation for cultural arts and heritage, which has been fostered through a combination of formal education, personal experiences, and active engagement with community arts initiatives. I was a student of Indian classical dance - Kathak over a period of 8 years, I’ve gained insight into the cultural arts through performing dance session at public events, including course in artistic dance, its history, architecture, its reference against other classical dance styles and costume design. These subjects provided a broad understanding of how diﬀerent cultures express themselves through visual arts, music, dance, and performance.

I’ve also volunteered for cultural events and festivals, where I’ve seen ﬁrsthand how art can bring diverse communities together and celebrate their shared heritage. Additionally, I’ve worked closely with local artists and artisans in my professional capacity, promoting projects that integrate artistic expression with urban design and community development. This experience has taught me how to appreciate and elevate local cultural heritage while fostering new creative expressions.

In my professional career, I’ve also supported initiatives that use art and culture to enrich communities, often through partnerships with local cultural organizations or art collectives. This exposure has helped me understand the value of maintaining cultural heritage while encouraging innovation in artistic practices, especially in public spaces.

Overall, my experiences in education, volunteer work, and professional collaborations have provided me with a strong foundation in cultural arts and heritage, which I hope to further apply to ensure the preservation and promotion of these vital community aspects in Dublin.

List the artistic, cultural, and/or historic activities in which you have participated (particularly within the City of Dublin).

Dublin has a rich heritage that has been preserved through parks, facilities, and programs. Dublin’s recent history comprises diverse growth and demographics. How do you bridge the pioneer era with the more recent growth that has shaped what Dublin is today?
Bridging Dublin’s rich pioneer heritage with its more recent growth requires a thoughtful approach that honors the city’s past while embracing its evolving identity. Dublin has a unique opportunity to celebrate its history through its parks, facilities, and community programs, creating a connection between the past and the present. One way to do this is by integrating historical landmarks and stories into modern public spaces. For example, preserving historical buildings like the Kolb House while incorporating modern amenities around them helps create a sense of continuity, where visitors can appreciate Dublin’s roots while enjoying the vibrancy of its growth.

Additionally, I believe in the importance of community education programs that highlight the city’s pioneer history, such as historical walking tours, exhibits, and events that connect current residents to the city’s past. By collaborating with local schools, historical societies, and cultural groups, Dublin can engage younger generations in learning about the city's pioneer roots, fostering a sense of pride and respect for the heritage that shaped the city.

Furthermore, Dublin’s parks and recreational facilities could incorporate elements of the past, like art installations or interpretive signage, to visually tell the story of the city's pioneers alongside contemporary uses. Events such as cultural festivals, craft fairs, or heritage days could celebrate both Dublin’s history and the diverse populations that have contributed to its modern identity. These events can showcase traditional crafts, music, and customs while also featuring contemporary expressions of Dublin’s multicultural community.

In essence, bridging the pioneer era with Dublin’s modern growth means recognizing and respecting the city’s history while encouraging inclusivity, diversity, and innovation. By integrating the past with the present through programs, facilities, and public spaces, Dublin can honor its roots while fostering a vibrant, forward-thinking community.

What knowledge do you have of public art and public art programs in Dublin? Dublin has made signiﬁcant strides in developing public art programs that engage the community, beautify the city, and reﬂect its diverse cultural heritage. One of the most visible and impactful initiatives is the city’s public art program, which includes a variety of art pieces 457
displayed in public spaces such as parks, streets, and civic buildings. Dublin’s public art features works from local artists and focuses on themes that highlight the city’s history, cultural diversity, and community spirit.

A great example is the city’s utility box art project, where utility boxes across Dublin have been transformed into colorful works of art. These painted boxes, featuring designs that represent Dublin’s culture and identity, not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of public spaces but also create a sense of community pride. One of the most notable pieces is the popcorn-themed utility box, which is a fun and quirky nod to Dublin’s history as the home of the original Popcorn Festival.

In addition to the utility box program, Dublin has showcased larger public art installations in areas like the Dublin Civic Center and various parks. These pieces often feature natural or cultural elements that connect residents with the city’s roots, while also celebrating contemporary artistic expressions. The city’s commitment to public art is evident in its dedication to maintaining and growing these programs, with regular updates and new projects introduced to keep public art vibrant and relevant.

Dublin’s public art eﬀorts also extend to collaborations with local artists and schools, creating opportunities for the community to get involved in the artistic process. Programs like “Art in the Park” and community art projects encourage residents of all ages to participate in creating and appreciating public art. These programs help foster creativity and inclusivity, oﬀering everyone a chance to contribute to the city’s artistic landscape.

Overall, Dublin’s public art initiatives provide a platform for local artists to showcase their work, oﬀer cultural enrichment to residents, and create spaces that encourage community interaction and pride. Through these eﬀorts, the city has positioned itself as a place where art is not just a passive experience but an active part of daily life, reﬂecting the city’s dynamic and diverse community.

What is the most important contribution you feel you can make as a member of the Heritage & Cultural Arts Commission? As a member of the Heritage & Cultural Arts Commission, I believe my most important contribution would be to foster a deeper connection between Dublin’s rich history, diverse cultures, and its growing community. I bring a unique blend of professional experience, passion for cultural engagement, and a commitment to creating inclusive spaces where all residents can experience, appreciate, and contribute to the arts.

I would focus on developing programs and initiatives that highlight Dublin's diverse cultural heritage while promoting the work of local artists and communities. By creating opportunities for collaborative art projects, cross-cultural exchanges, and public art displays, I aim to enrich the city’s cultural fabric. Additionally, I would work to ensure that Dublin’s heritage is preserved in a way that is accessible and meaningful to all residents, including younger generations, newcomers, and underrepresented groups.

Through strategic partnerships with local schools, artists, cultural organizations, and community groups, I would advocate for inclusive cultural programming that encourages participation from all segments of the population. Whether through workshops, performances, or public art initiatives, my goal would be to ensure that Dublin’s cultural arts programs are diverse, accessible, and reﬂective of the community’s values and history.

In short, my contribution would be to help bridge Dublin’s past with its future by promoting arts and heritage programs that foster unity, celebrate diversity, and create lasting cultural experiences for all residents.

Please list any current or recent membership in arts, culture or heritage organizations.

Application Questions
What education, training or experience do you have in cultural arts or heritage? While I don't have a formal education in cultural arts and heritage but I really take a keen interest in this area and really enjoy getting involved with in various cultural activities.

I was involved as a program lead for Arts in Action during my kids elementary education. Also was involved in helping the elementary school organize a cultural talent show and volunteered there.

List the artistic, cultural, and/or historic activities in which you have participated (particularly within the City of Dublin).

I have participated in several of the Splatter events, St Patricks day Parade, July 4th celebrations at the emerald glen park and other cultural festivals in the neighboring cities.

This has given me a wider exposure to the diﬀerent cultures and ethnic groups Dublin has a rich heritage that has been preserved through parks, facilities, and programs. Dublin’s recent history comprises diverse growth and demographics. How do you bridge the pioneer era with the more recent growth that has shaped what Dublin is today?
First, bridging the pioneer era to recent growth in Dublin needs consideration in terms of its heritage that embraces such diversity and vibrancy of the current population. This may be achieved by:

Preserving Historic Legacy: Continue to recognize pioneer history of Dublin through landmarks, parks, and programs such as Heritage Park and Museums. These areas and events, such as Pioneer Days, give a more personal touch to Dublin's beginnings and may be used as an educational tool for the newer residents.

Celebrating Diversity: Events and programs that would involve the stories, traditions, and contributions of the newer communities coming into Dublin. Example: Expansion of cultural festivals or collaborative projects showing pioneer and modern histories.

Build Community Connections: Use program opportunities to oﬀer cross-generational and cross-cultural activities that celebrate shared history while fostering an inclusive vision for Dublin's future. Examples include workshops, storytelling, or community art projects that integrate Dublin's pioneer past with the cultural richness of its diverse present.

These criteria intertwined allow Dublin to build a community respectful of its heritage yet celebrationist toward the diversity that makes Dublin unique today.

What knowledge do you have of public art and public art programs in Dublin? I'm aware that Dublin is very committed to including public art in all community areas as an expression of culture and diversity. Programs like the City's Public Art Master Plan steer the selection and placement of artworks within parks, trails, and facilities to fun and inspiring environments for residents and visitors alike. I met the artist who was painting the utility boxes in the corners of Dublin streets giving the vibrant look to the city in every corner telling a story.

I have also seen the way that public art elevates events like Splatter, celebrating creativity and community identity. The public art programs of Dublin beautify our environs and link the past, present, and future in a manner that is inclusive and inspiring.

I look forward with anticipation to learning more about these programs and supporting eﬀorts toward expanding their presence into all neighborhoods and cultural groups.

What is the most important contribution you feel you can make as a member of the Heritage & Cultural Arts Commission? As a member of the Heritage & Cultural Arts Commission, my most important contribution would be to help preserve Dublin's rich history while fostering a deeper connection to its growing and diverse community. With my experience volunteering in community events such as the Dublin parade and the Jr. Warriors basketball program, I understand the importance of creating inclusive opportunities that celebrate our shared heritage and cultural diversity.

I would focus on promoting programs and initiatives that honor Dublin’s pioneer history while incorporating the traditions and contributions of newer residents. By advocating for events, public art, and educational opportunities that reﬂect Dublin’s unique identity, I aim to ensure that everyone feels represented and connected to the city’s evolving story.

Collaboration with residents, local artists, and cultural organizations would also be key in shaping initiatives that engage and inspire the community for generations to come.

Please list any current or recent membership in arts, culture or heritage organizations.

What experience do you have serving on advisory committees, task forces, boards or commissions? I believe the combination of leadership and volunteer experience I have garnered would be valuable in serving on an advisory committee or commission.

I am interested in serving on the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission because I am passionate about preserving Dublin’s rich history while embracing its cultural diversity. As a resident of Dublin, I have seen ﬁrsthand how our community has grown and evolved, and I want to contribute to ensuring that our heritage is celebrated and accessible to all.

Application Questions
What education, training or experience do you have in cultural arts or heritage? While my formal education is in engineering, culminating in a Master’s degree, and my professional experience is in program management, I believe the skills I’ve gained in these areas are highly transferable to cultural arts and heritage initiatives. For example, my background has equipped me with strong project planning, organizational, and problem-solving skills, which are essential for managing and supporting community programs eﬀectively.

Though I do not have direct experience in cultural arts or heritage, I am passionate about engaging with my community and learning more about Dublin’s rich history and cultural assets. I am eager to use this opportunity to deepen my understanding and make meaningful contributions to the Commission’s work.

List the artistic, cultural, and/or historic activities in which you have participated (particularly within the City of Dublin).

Since moving to Dublin in 2020, I have actively participated in several key artistic and cultural activities that celebrate the city’s vibrant community spirit:

St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations: I have been part of Dublin’s iconic St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Fun Run. These events showcase Irish heritage, community pride, and cultural engagement, making them a cornerstone of Dublin’s identity.

Splatter Festival: I have attended the annual Splatter Festival every year since moving to Dublin. This event celebrates art, culture, and community through diverse performances, hands-on activities, and culinary experiences.

These activities have deepened my connection to Dublin and inspired me to contribute more actively to its cultural and artistic landscape.

Dublin has a rich heritage that has been preserved through parks, facilities, and programs. Dublin’s recent history comprises diverse growth and demographics. How do you bridge the pioneer era with the more recent growth that has shaped what Dublin is today?
Dublin’s pioneer heritage with its current growth involves recognizing the city’s historical roots and embracing its evolving identity as a diverse and thriving community. I would approach this balance by focusing on preserving Historical Sites within Dublin like the Heritage Park and Museums and promoting educational outreach/storytelling programs about Dublin's heritgage sites. I will continue to support and foster inclusive cultural programs like the Splatter Festival, St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations. These activities have been amazing opportunities to connect with Dublin's diverse population and sharing a common cultural space . Last one would be connecting through Public Art to bridge Dublin’s history with its modern growth. For example, installations to reﬂect themes of local heritage while incorporating contemporary artistic expressions. I believe this approach ensures that the city’s evolution is celebrated as a continuation of its rich heritage.

What knowledge do you have of public art and public art programs in Dublin? I am aware of Dublin’s Public Art Program which oﬀers residents and visitors opportunities to engage with art that celebrates both local heritage and modern creativity. I know about Dublin’s Public Art Program that includes over 30 publicly-owned artworks displayed across parks, civic buildings, and other public spaces. These installations range from murals and sculptures to interactive pieces, each enhancing the community's aesthetic and cultural appeal. I recognise these artworks often reﬂects Dublin’s history, diversity, and future aspirations. For example, pieces celebrate the city’s agricultural past, its pioneer roots, and its evolving multicultural identity.

What is the most important contribution you feel you can make as a member of the Heritage & Cultural Arts Commission? As a member of the Heritage & Cultural Arts Commission, my most signiﬁcant contribution would be leveraging my project management expertise and global perspective to enrich Dublin’s cultural and artistic initiatives. My professional experience has honed my ability to plan, organize, and execute complex projects eﬀectively—skills that are essential for assessing proposals, managing resources, and contributing to the Heritage and Cultural Arts Long Range Plan. Additionally, having traveled to over 30 countries, I have gained unique insights into how diverse cultures preserve their heritage and celebrate the arts. This global exposure equips me to advocate for inclusive programs that honor Dublin’s historical roots while embracing its multicultural present. By combining my technical skills with a deep appreciation for cultural diversity, I aim to help design and deliver initiatives that celebrate Dublin’s heritage, enrich its artistic landscape, and foster a strong sense of community.

Application Questions
Why are you interested in serving on the Human Services Commission? I am deeply interested in serving on the Human Services Commission because I believe in the power of community-focused initiatives to create positive, lasting change. Throughout my career and community involvement, I’ve seen ﬁrsthand the importance of accessible, inclusive services that support the well-being of all individuals. I am passionate about ensuring that everyone—regardless of age, background, or circumstance—has access to the resources and support they need to thrive.

Having worked in roles that prioritize collaboration, problem-solving, and community engagement, I know that I can bring a unique perspective to the Commission. I’m eager to help develop and advocate for policies and programs that address critical needs in our community, whether it’s access to mental health services, aﬀordable housing, or social support systems for vulnerable populations.

I am a resident of Dublin for the past 11 years and I love my city. I currently work as an engineering manager for a highTech company in SouthBay. My background in leadership, cross-functional teamwork, and long-term planning equips me to work alongside other Commission members, city staﬀ, and community organizations to ensure our city’s human services programs are impactful, equitable, and sustainable.

Serving on the Human Services Commission would allow me to contribute directly to the well-being of our residents and ensure that our community remains a place where everyone can reach their full potential.

What knowledge do you have of the human services offered in Dublin and the Tri-Valley? Have you or a family member participated in a local program?
I have a good understanding of the human services oﬀered in Dublin and the broader Tri-Valley area, particularly those that focus on meeting the needs of diverse populations. Dublin and the Tri-Valley provide a range of programs aimed at supporting families, seniors, youth, and individuals facing various challenges. These services include mental health support, aﬀordable housing initiatives, senior care, after-school programs for youth, and food security through local food banks. I am also familiar with services for individuals with disabilities and programs focused on the economic empowerment of low-income families.

One program I have interacted with personally is the assisting in setting up First Robotics League local team. I have seen ﬁrsthand how these services can make a real diﬀerence in families' lives, particularly for those facing emotional and social challenges. Additionally, I have participated in community-driven initiatives like local food drives and youth mentorship programs, which demonstrate the collaborative spirit within the Tri-Valley to meet human service needs.

Through these experiences and my role in community activities, I have gained an understanding of the importance of accessible, inclusive services in building a thriving and supportive community. I am eager to help enhance and expand these services as part of the Human Services Commission.

What do you think are the major concerns/challenges of Dublin residents regarding human services programs? Please describe.

Dublin residents, like those in many growing communities in county/state, face several challenges related to human services programs, which reﬂect both the changing demographics and the unique needs of a rapidly developing city. One of the most signiﬁcant concerns is access to aﬀordable housing. As Dublin continues to grow, the increasing cost of living and housing market pressures make it diﬃcult for many residents to ﬁnd aﬀordable, stable housing. This creates challenges around displacement, homelessness, and a lack of housing options for senior citizens, young families, and essential workers.

Another major concern is mental health and wellness. There is a growing recognition of mental health challenges, particularly among youth, seniors, and individuals facing economic hardship. Many residents express concerns about the accessibility and aﬀordability of mental health services, as well as the stigma that can still surround seeking help. Although there are local programs, long wait times and limited availability of services can hinder access to care when it's most needed.

Support for vulnerable populations is also a priority for many residents. Ensuring that seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income families have access to necessary resources and services remains a key issue. While Dublin has some programs in place, residents feel there is a need for more targeted services, such as in-home care for seniors, assistance with daily living, and specialized support for individuals with disabilities.

Youth programs and engagement are another concern, particularly for families with children and teens. Many parents feel that there is a shortage of aﬀordable, accessible extracurricular programs that oﬀer opportunities for their children to engage in meaningful activities, develop skills, and receive mentorship. These programs are critical to both academic and personal growth, and parents are seeking more 490
options to keep their children engaged and supported after school.

Access to health and social services is also a challenge for some residents. As the population grows, navigating healthcare systems, ﬁnding aﬀordable care, and accessing government assistance programs for food, healthcare, and utilities have become more diﬃcult. Many residents express a need for more coordinated services that take a holistic approach to meeting their needs, whether it's medical care, social support, or emergency assistance.

Community integration and inclusion are important to many residents in Dublin, particularly given the city’s cultural diversity. Ensuring that all residents, regardless of their cultural or socioeconomic background, feel included and supported is a key concern. There is a growing demand for programs that bridge cultural gaps and provide equitable access to services, especially for immigrant communities and people who speak diﬀerent languages.

While Dublin has made progress in providing human services, these concerns highlight areas that still require attention to ensure all residents have the support they need to thrive. Addressing these challenges will require greater accessibility, awareness, and collaboration across various sectors to ensure a more equitable, supportive community for everyone.

Briefly summarize your participation in civic or community activities/groups.

Over the years, I have been actively involved in various civic and community activities, particularly in Dublin. I have worked closely with local government oﬃcials, civic leaders, and my fellow residents/neighbours to address community needs. I have participated in HOA initiatives that support local sustainability, and public engagement allowed me to connect with residents from diverse backgrounds and promote a sense of community. Through these experiences, I have gained a deep understanding of the city's dynamics and the importance of creating inclusive, thriving communities.

How do you feel about making a decision for the overall good of the community that may be unpopular with neighbors, residents or organizations?
Making decisions for the overall good of the community, even when they may be unpopular with neighbors, residents, or organizations, is a crucial responsibility in public service. As a leader, it’s essential to balance short-term discomfort with long-term beneﬁts for the entire community. While it’s never easy to make decisions that may not align with everyone’s immediate preferences, the key is to focus on the greater good and the well-being of all residents.

In these situations, transparency, communication, and empathy are critical. It’s important to listen to the concerns of those who may be aﬀected by the decision, explain the reasoning behind the decision, and demonstrate how it will ultimately beneﬁt the community as a whole. Public trust can be built through thoughtful, compassionate engagement, ensuring that people feel heard, even if they don’t agree with the ﬁnal outcome.

Ultimately, tough decisions may be necessary to address long-term issues such as sustainability, equity, and the need for essential infrastructure or services. While opposition is natural, the ability to make decisions that prioritize the community’s overall health, safety, and future success is an essential trait for leadership.

What is the most important contribution you can make as a member of the Human Services Commission? I believe the most important contribution I can make is fostering a more inclusive and equitable community by ensuring that all residents have access to the services they need. This includes advocating for programs that address the diverse needs of Dublin's population, from vulnerable groups such as seniors and low-income families to youth and individuals facing mental health challenges.

Given my professional background and experience in leadership, I can also help bridge gaps between community stakeholders, local organizations, and government agencies to ensure resources are being allocated eﬀectively and that services are reaching those who need them most. By bringing a solutions-oriented mindset, I would contribute to the development of innovative, sustainable programs that not only address current issues but also anticipate future needs.

Additionally, I believe that my commitment to community engagement and my ability to listen to residents’ concerns would be key in building trust and transparency between the commission and the public. I would aim to ensure that decisions made by the commission are grounded in the real needs and voices of the community, fostering a more connected and supportive environment for everyone in Dublin.

What are the ways the City, working with non-profit service providers, can further racial equity, inclusion, and access for Dublin residents?
The City of Dublin, in collaboration with non-proﬁt service providers like local food bank, Church, has a signiﬁcant opportunity to promote racial equity, inclusion, and access for all residents through a variety of strategies. One important approach is developing targeted outreach and engagement eﬀorts to ensure that all communities, particularly those that are marginalized or underrepresented, are informed about available services. This can include multilingual outreach, partnering with community leaders, and hosting events in neighborhoods with higher populations of underserved groups, ensuring that residents from diverse backgrounds can access vital resources. 491
Providing cultural competency training for city staﬀ and non-proﬁt partners is also essential. This type of training helps ensure that services are accessible and sensitive to the needs of diverse populations, fostering a deeper understanding of cultural diﬀerences and addressing implicit bias. Furthermore, language access services must be expanded. Many residents face barriers due to language, so ensuring that public materials are available in multiple languages and oﬀering interpreters at public meetings will help make services more inclusive.

Equitable resource allocation is another key area. The City and non-proﬁts need to assess the distribution of resources to ensure they are spread fairly across all neighborhoods, with particular attention given to areas with higher racial and ethnic minority populations. This includes ensuring that funds for programs, housing, healthcare, and education reach the communities that need them the most.

Supporting minority-owned businesses and non-proﬁts is also an important part of advancing racial equity. The City can collaborate with non-proﬁts to provide resources, grants, and other forms of support to help these businesses thrive. This will foster greater economic opportunities for marginalized communities.

To ensure progress is being made, systems for monitoring and accountability are necessary. The City and its non-proﬁt partners should collect and analyze data on service usage, community participation, and program outcomes. This will help identify gaps and areas that require further attention, allowing for adjustments to be made as needed to meet the goal of racial equity.

Finally, promoting racial diversity in leadership positions both within the City’s decision-making bodies and among non-proﬁt organizations is crucial. Encouraging more representation ensures that the concerns and needs of all racial and ethnic groups are considered in the decision- making process. By fostering leadership development, mentorship programs, and diversity in advisory boards, the City can ensure that leadership reﬂects the community it serves.

By implementing these strategies, the City of Dublin and its non-proﬁt partners can make signiﬁcant strides toward advancing racial equity, inclusion, and access, ultimately creating a community where all residents, regardless of their race or background, have the opportunity to thrive.

The Human Services Commission is part of the City’s Conﬂict of Interest Code, and if appointed, you will be required to ﬁll out a disclosure statement which identiﬁes certain ﬁnancial interest beginning with the immediate twelve-month period prior to your appointment (FPPC Form 700) and attend Ethics Training.

In addition, the Commission makes a recommendation to the City Council to award grants to non-proﬁt organizations serving Dublin residents. The Commission reviews applications and receives presentations from the organizations. A list of Grant Recipients from 2024- 25 can be found on the City’s website. Applicants to the Human Services Commission are encouraged to review the list of organizations and consider if you have ﬁnancial interests, including sources of income, interest in real property, personal ﬁnances or investments with any of these organizations. This may mean there is a conﬂict of interest and may limit your participation in the process.

Why are you interested in serving on the Human Services Commission? As a Dublin resident for over a decade, I have a deep appreciation for this wonderful city. I've been volunteering since I moved here, and my commitment remains strong. The Human Services Commission is a vital department that supports local nonproﬁt organizations in helping low-income families, seniors, and people with disabilities.

Volunteering for this commission would allow me to serve community members who are in great need of support. Together, we can help families put food on their tables, assist individuals with disabilities, and provide career training for those seeking employment to help them regain their independence.

What knowledge do you have of the human services offered in Dublin and the Tri-Valley? Have you or a family member participated in a local program?
Human Service Commission is a crucial department which overseeing and administering the Community Development The Human Services Commission is a crucial department responsible for overseeing and administering the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Human Services Grant programs in collaboration with local and regional agencies.

I have served as an alternate commissioner for two years, giving me ﬁrsthand insight into the many nonproﬁt organizations we support and the countless families who beneﬁt from these programs. It brings me joy to know the positive impact the Human Services Commission has made on people’s lives, and I am very proud to be part of that change.

What do you think are the major concerns/challenges of Dublin residents regarding human services programs? Please describe.

Human Services programs support many great initiatives that beneﬁt the community. However, I’ve found that most people I speak with are unaware of these available programs and the support they can access. I believe it would be highly beneﬁcial to promote these services more actively at city events and through social media channels.

Briefly summarize your participation in civic or community activities/groups.

I have been a parent volunteer since my child was in kindergarten. I continued volunteering through middle school, serving as the head parent lead for Fallon PFC's enrichment program and the MATHCOUNTS Club for ﬁve years. Currently, I am on the board for the Dublin High School PFSO (Parent Faculty Student Organization).

Additionally, I have assisted in cleaning and setting up Heritage Park and the museum for the Fall Festival for over ﬁve years. I’ve been delivering holiday gifts from Dublin City to seniors, bringing them joy during the holiday season for the past three years. I also volunteer at various events, including the St. Patrick's Day parade, Splatter events, Quest Innovation, the Big Bike Build, and the Alameda County Fair.

The list goes on, and I’m proud to be a volunteer. I will continue giving back to my community.

How do you feel about making a decision for the overall good of the community that may be unpopular with neighbors, residents or organizations?
I believe it’s important to make decisions that serve the overall good of the community, even if they may be unpopular. Sometimes, people may not foresee the potential consequences of alternative decisions, and it’s our responsibility to explain the reasoning behind them. Clear communication is key.

What is the most important contribution you can make as a member of the Human Services Commission? I have served as an alternate commissioner for two years, gaining valuable insight into the commission’s operations. In this role, I thoroughly review each application, submit my recommendations promptly, and actively participate in meetings by asking questions and oﬀering feedback and suggestions to improve the process.

I work collaboratively with other commissioners to achieve our common goal of making decisions that beneﬁt the community as a whole.

We can increase promotion of our programs through social media and by distributing ﬂyers at city-wide events, senior centers, and the farmers market.

Application Questions
Why are you interested in serving on the Human Services Commission? I am interested in the opportunity to be reappointed to the Human Services Commission. In my last appointment as chairperson, we signiﬁcantly improved the grant review sheet used by commissioners. We are also worked on updating the Eastern Alameda County Needs Assessment that was published in 2024. I want to continue working with the commissioners on these improvements and updates and assist the city in granting funds to nonproﬁts that help Dublin.

I have long been interested in working toward good government by ensuring the services that our communities provide to residents are eﬀective and eﬃcient. I earned a Master of Public Policy and have worked in government strategic ﬁnancial and budget management for most of my career, whether at a county, city, or school district. By training and practice, I work to ensure that the resources available match the services provided to maximize our impact on the community. In doing this, I have helped departments review their operations for eﬀectiveness and cost control. I have also assisted departments in collaborating to provide increased services to residents at the same cost.

As a commissioner, I used my perspective on service collaboration and my program and ﬁnancial analysis training to meet the human services needs of Dublin and the Tri-Valley.

What knowledge do you have of the human services offered in Dublin and the Tri-Valley? Have you or a family member participated in a local program?
In addition to the knowledge gained from serving on the commission, I have to oﬀer to the Human Services Commission my experience with ﬁnancial program management, strategic planning, and program performance review. During my past assignments, I supported the ﬁnancial and business planning for an entire organization, including a speciﬁc role with the Community Services Block Grant and Job Task Force agency. I also served as the County-wide Grant Coordinator, assisting with the application, approval, appropriation, and program implementation for general grant programs and providing staﬀ support to the Community Grants program. I have often been impressed by the services oﬀered through inter- and intra-government partnerships, which frequently involved working with nonproﬁts to maximize the impact of the jurisdiction’s funds on the community.

My knowledge of human services comes from analyzing, reviewing, and reporting on grant-funded programs, managing grant reporting to the state and federal government, and considering how the systems of programs oﬀered by cities and counties can best be integrated to provide a holistic package of services to assist our neighbors and community. I also have a history of volunteering at homeless shelters and other human services programs.

Over the last few years, I have become painfully aware of the gaps in youth and adolescent mental health services. This experience has given me insight into what services are oﬀered in our community and what services are needed. Increasing overall and youth access to mental health services is a priority in the new east county needs assessment.

During my ﬁrst term on the commission, I served as chairperson and led the commission in asking questions of the nonproﬁts receiving City of Dublin funds. From this experience and my participation in updating the needs assessment, I learned what services are oﬀered and what services are needed for our community.

What do you think are the major concerns/challenges of Dublin residents regarding human services programs? Please describe.

The primary concern and challenge facing Dublin residents regarding human services programs is accurately identifying the needs of our community to determine the best way to eﬀectively use our resources to maximize their impact on our community. On a casual drive through Dublin, it is hard to miss the eye-popping home prices and aﬄuence of the community (e.g., the median family household income is approaching $150,000 per the 2020 US Census). Despite that, I also noticed that approximately 25 percent of families in the school district have received a computer for distance learning, the school district provides hotspots to families that do not have internet access, and the district has served tens of thousands of meals to students at home (despite the statistic that 7.4% of Dublin students qualify for free and reduced-price meals) during the COVID school shutdowns. Based on these divergent observations, I fear the needs of our community may be underestimated. Furthermore, I fear the impact of underestimating the needs of our community may make it hard for government and non-government organizations to determine how to best and most eﬀectively deploy resources to meet our community’s needs.

Assessing the impact of human services programs on the community and determining how best to deploy resources to maximize impact are signiﬁcant concerns in our area. I am glad we have updated the East County Needs Assessment, which should provide insight into human services needs for the City Council to set goals. The updated City Council goals and the needs assessment will provide the commission with great guidelines as we evaluate the next round of grant applications. 497
Briefly summarize your participation in civic or community activities/groups.

Throughout my life, I have volunteered with various civic and community groups. This has ranged from youth programs (mentoring one-on- one, volunteering as an adult leader in the Boy Scouts, and volunteering at church) to organizing a panel discussion on violence against children and volunteering at a homeless shelter. In my daughter’s education, I served as a room parent for all three elementary school years until COVID removed many activities. I was a PTA volunteer for most events during the school year. I have served on the School Site Council for three years, two at Dublin Elementary and one at Wells Middle School, and I also served two years as a parent representative on the Dublin Uniﬁed School District budget committee.

I was appointed to the Dublin Human Services Committee in 2021 and served as the Chairperson in 2022. In this role, I led the commissioners to ask more questions about the non-proﬁts that presented to us after being awarded grant funding. I also began asking questions about the grant review process and the rating sheets. My questions led to the commission revamping their application form, the questions asked, and the commissioner rating forms. We also participated in the needs assessment update and joint meetings with tri-valley human services commissions to reduce service gaps and maximize nonproﬁts' impact on Dublin and the surrounding tri-valley.

These volunteer activities have been the extracurriculars of my career, where I have had the most extensive participation in civic or community activities and groups. Throughout my career, I have worked hard to ensure that governments provide the most eﬀective service possible within the amount of allocated funding. This has allowed me to advise and coordinate on all sorts of government programs, become familiar with grant funding, requirements, and uses, and facilitate discussions to determine how to maximize an organization’s impact on the community.

How do you feel about making a decision for the overall good of the community that may be unpopular with neighbors, residents or organizations?
Sometimes, the community may need to be educated about the overall good. As a commissioner, I solicited and encouraged community input. I am proud to listen to the community and make decisions in support of the City Council, which is taking the lead.

For my career, I earned a master’s degree in public policy analysis at Johns Hopkins University. I started a career in public ﬁnancial management to make these tough decisions. Throughout my career, I managed budgeting and strategic planning for the largest departments within several organizations. To do my job eﬀectively and ensure that departments run smoothly, I must make complex recommendations about funding options to leadership. I encountered a small taste of community pushback in Fremont when I spoke out in favor of a homeless shelter being built in my neighborhood. Many of my neighbors were upset with me because they did not want the shelter in our neighborhood, to which I responded – if not here, then where? I am fully prepared to continue advising on tough decisions for the common good.

What is the most important contribution you can make as a member of the Human Services Commission? Serving as a member of Dublin’s Human Services Commission has allowed me to utilize the creativity, ﬂexibility, and innovation I learned in my career for the city I call home. My career record includes recommending that construction inspectors and Community Services Block Grant programs requiring inspectors (i.e., Home Weatherization) collaborate to save money previously spent on contracted inspectors, thereby increasing the number of households served. As an example of the creative, ﬂexible, and innovative perspective I can bring to Human Services discussions around programs and grant funding decisions, I oﬀer that.

Furthermore, I oﬀer insights from a disabled community with which I am newly acquainted. In 2022, I experienced an injury due to a car accident that resulted in my disability. Throughout the past two years of my recovery, I have come to understand the challenges of rehabilitation and adapting to a life-altering injury. I've realized how vital adjustments, like utilizing adaptive equipment, are for daily living.

Continuing on the Human Services Commission will allow me to contribute to the commission with my awareness of the importance of services provided by non-proﬁts for disabled residents in Dublin.

What are the ways the City, working with non-profit service providers, can further racial equity, inclusion, and access for Dublin residents?
To enhance racial equity, inclusion, and access, Dublin should amplify community voices and improve service accessibility by working closely with non-proﬁts through the human services program. This eﬀort involves establishing advisory boards composed of diverse community representatives for example, the Human Services Commission showcases Dublin’s diversity. As chairperson, I proudly utilized my voice to recruit, nominate, and empower diverse commission members for leadership positions.

Since my last appointment, I have experienced a car accident that has left me permanently disabled. While this injury has its challenges, it has also allowed me time to volunteer, spend time with my family, and develop a meaningful understanding of living with a disability. I face a “hidden injury,” a head injury, which has taught me the importance of seeking assistance and the signiﬁcant advantages that adaptive technologies can provide. I am eager to bring this diverse perspective to my role on the Human Services Commission.

Dublin's Human Services Grants fund non-proﬁts that are not just partners but vital allies in crafting holistic and inclusive programs that 498
powerfully address community needs. By strategically prioritizing organizations dedicated to assisting marginalized groups, we can ensure that the most vulnerable receive the required support. Equity-focused policies can decisively break down the barriers struggling residents face, paving the way for real change.

By fostering collaborative networks and embracing ﬂexibility in program execution, we can establish a resilient infrastructure that guarantees equitable growth for all
The Human Services Commission is part of the City’s Conﬂict of Interest Code, and if appointed, you will be required to ﬁll out a disclosure statement which identiﬁes certain ﬁnancial interest beginning with the immediate twelve-month period prior to your appointment (FPPC Form 700) and attend Ethics Training.

In addition, the Commission makes a recommendation to the City Council to award grants to non-proﬁt organizations serving Dublin residents. The Commission reviews applications and receives presentations from the organizations. A list of Grant Recipients from 2024- 25 can be found on the City’s website. Applicants to the Human Services Commission are encouraged to review the list of organizations and consider if you have ﬁnancial interests, including sources of income, interest in real property, personal ﬁnances or investments with any of these organizations.

Application Questions
Why are you interested in serving on the Human Services Commission? I have been involved in community service roles since I was in my early teens. Since then, I have volunteered for several organizations including HOBY Youth Leadership, BBBS East Bay, Red Cross, Heartfelt Help Foundation, Dublin High School, Duval County Public Schools Florida, Mayo Clinic Florida, Bryan Health, Lincoln City Mission.

My acumen and passion for social causes drives me daily, and the opportunity to serve on a committee that serves the current state of Dublin and it's residents immediate needs and the organizations that support them gives me interest in serving on this commission.

What knowledge do you have of the human services offered in Dublin and the Tri-Valley? Have you or a family member participated in a local program?
I have a moderate knowledge of some of the services oﬀered in the area. Through researching the website as well as attending the Inside Dublin class, I have gained more knowledge of the service areas and programming that is oﬀered by the Human Services of Dublin.

What do you think are the major concerns/challenges of Dublin residents regarding human services programs? Please describe.

I believe one of the biggest deﬁciencies is the knowledge of services. Dublin is a city that is diﬀerent, in a good way. We don't witness the same things that you would see in a larger city. With that, many people don't think the problems that exist in big cities exist in a place like Dublin.

Better messaging to the general public, not just those seeking the services, would open the door for more potential opportunities and grants to provide even more services than already provided, or may provide the opportunity for someone to learn about a service that they may not have heard of otherwise.

Briefly summarize your participation in civic or community activities/groups.

How do you feel about making a decision for the overall good of the community that may be unpopular with neighbors, residents or organizations?
Making decisions for those that need services that others do not is often times met with resistance. As I have said in other applications for commissions, beneﬁcence is one of my driving principles. We must focus on what does the most good for the most people, and that is the primary role of any human services program.

A healthy community is one where all citizens have the resources they need to live comfortably and be a functional and welcomed member of the area in which they live.

What is the most important contribution you can make as a member of the Human Services Commission? 501
I bring a very wide variety of experiences in human services and non-proﬁts, including grant proposals and program and project management & leadership.

The most important contribution I can make as a member of the commission is provide a keen eye of oversight of proposals so that we ensure the funds are allocated to best serve our community.

What are the ways the City, working with non-profit service providers, can further racial equity, inclusion, and access for Dublin residents?
Public programming and messaging to promote those services is the best way to further DEI strategies. Partnering with service providers who speciﬁcally aim to serve speciﬁc groups of individuals who face inequity in any form will ensure appropriate access for Dublin residents.

In addition, the Commission makes a recommendation to the City Council to award grants to non-proﬁt organizations serving Dublin residents.

Application Questions
Why are you interested in serving on the Human Services Commission? I have been a proud resident of Dublin for over 8 years, and throughout this time, I've dedicated myself to serving the community through various volunteer eﬀorts in the Tri-Valley area. My commitment to community service has grown into a true passion, as I ﬁrmly believe in helping all members of our community to thrive, particularly in a region where some may feel overlooked despite the aﬄuence around them.

I have had the privilege of leading initiatives such as food and backpack drives, working alongside multiple organizations in the Tri-Valley to address critical needs. These initiatives have allowed me to collaborate with city mayors, council members, school superintendent and other key community leaders to identify and meet the evolving needs of our residents. Through these partnerships, I have gained valuable insights into how local government, nonproﬁts, and volunteers can work together to create sustainable solutions for those in need.

I am particularly interested in serving on the Human Services Commission because I want to continue to help shape programs and services that support vulnerable populations in our community. I believe my experience in organizing community-wide events, as well as my understanding of local needs and the importance of collaboration, will allow me to make meaningful contributions to the Commission. I am eager to work with fellow commissioners to enhance the quality of life for all Dublin residents, ensuring that we continue to build a supportive, inclusive, and thriving community for everyone.

What knowledge do you have of the human services offered in Dublin and the Tri-Valley? Have you or a family member participated in a local program?
I have a deep understanding of the range of human services available in Dublin and the broader Tri-Valley region. The Human Services Commission plays a critical role in supporting nonproﬁt organizations through grants that address important issues such as aﬀordable housing, healthcare, mental health services, disability support, and nutrition—all without requiring residents to leave the Tri-Valley area.

Through my volunteer work, I have directly supported several organizations that provide essential services to our community. For example, during food drives, we have donated canned goods to Tri-Valley Haven , children’s emergency fund and diapers for kids at Hively, both of which provide food, shelter, and resources for those in need. Additionally, through partnerships with CityServe of the Tri-Valley, we have distributed hygiene kits and sleeping bags to homeless individuals in the area.

I have also volunteered at Sunﬂower Hill, an organization that supports adults with developmental disabilities, where I lead a group of 35 people to help in their garden and supported their mission by purchasing goods grown on-site. This hands-on experience has deepened my understanding of the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities and the importance of local programs that provide empowerment and independence.

While I have not personally participated in any local programs, I have seen ﬁrsthand the positive impact these services have on people’s lives. This has motivated me to continue supporting and advocating for these programs through my volunteer eﬀorts, and I am eager to bring my knowledge and passion for human services to the Human Services Commission.

What do you think are the major concerns/challenges of Dublin residents regarding human services programs? Please describe.

One of the most pressing challenges for Dublin residents in the coming years is the issue of aﬀordable housing and rentals. As real estate prices continue to soar in the Tri-Valley region, many lower-income families and individuals ﬁnd it increasingly diﬃcult to aﬀord housing. This is a growing concern, especially for the underprivileged and working-class populations, as the rising cost of rent and homeownership pushes many to the brink of homelessness. The lack of aﬀordable housing could also contribute to security concerns in the area, as more people may be forced to live in unstable conditions or even on the streets.

In addition to housing, food insecurity is another critical challenge. With inﬂation aﬀecting the cost of living across the region, many families are struggling to make ends meet. Even with assistance programs like food stamps and CalFresh, the rising prices of groceries and essential goods mean that these beneﬁts often don't stretch as far as they once did. This leaves families, especially those with children or elderly members, facing diﬃcult choices about how to provide enough food for their households.

Briefly summarize your participation in civic or community activities/groups.

I have been actively involved in the Tri-Valley community in several ways. For three years, I served on the Entertainment Committee of the Tri-Valley Kannada Sangha, where I helped organize cultural events that introduced second-generation children to the traditions and heritage of Karnataka, India. Additionally, I lead the food drives, and I am currently collaborating with the community to organize food donations for Diwali celebrations.

Beyond these eﬀorts, I also work to raise awareness of Hindu culture in Dublin by conducting educational programs on our customs and traditions. I have had the opportunity to engage with local elected oﬃcials, the police department, and the ﬁre department, fostering mutual respect and understanding through Raksha Bandhan. These initiatives help build a harmonious bond between diﬀerent communities, promoting diversity and equity in the city.

I volunteer in city sponsored events like Dublin pride, prayer meeting held by Alameda county supervisor , Diwali celebrations and christmas events hosted by Alameda county supervisor
How do you feel about making a decision for the overall good of the community that may be unpopular with neighbors, residents or organizations?
As a member of the Commission, I understand that my responsibility is to make decisions that serve the greater good of all community members, regardless of their socioeconomic status. This requires a balancing act, as there will always be individuals or groups with diﬀerent interests or agendas who may not agree with certain decisions.

When faced with unpopular decisions, I would engage with stakeholders to explain the broader context and reasoning behind those decisions, particularly when they are driven by city or state priorities. Transparency and open communication would be key in this process, ensuring that everyone understands how the decision aligns with long-term community goals and broader societal needs.

I would also emphasize the long-term beneﬁts of such decisions, helping residents and organizations see the bigger picture beyond immediate concerns. My priority would always be to support the most vulnerable members of our community, even if it means making tough choices that may not be immediately popular. By fostering dialogue, addressing concerns where possible, and focusing on the long- term well-being of the community, I believe we can move toward a more inclusive, resilient, and equitable society.

What is the most important contribution you can make as a member of the Human Services Commission? As a member of the Human Services Commission, I would focus on advocating for the upliftment of underprivileged individuals and families in the Tri-Valley by ensuring access to healthy food , housing and mental health support.I would ensure that the grants allocated are utilized appropriately by the non proﬁt service providers with supporting documentation to ensure that it has indeed reached the underprivileged individual . A healthy society is a vibrant society, and I believe no one in our community should have to go hungry or sleep on the streets regardless of their economic situation. My goal is to help ensure that every family has food on the table and the resources they need to thrive.

Additionally, I would work to expand the reach of city programs by bringing services directly to the communities that need them most by collaborating with non proﬁt organizations. By meeting people where they are, we can improve accessibility and better address the gaps in service, making sure no one is left behind.

What are the ways the City, working with non-profit service providers, can further racial equity, inclusion, and access for Dublin residents?
Dublin’s demographic has changed signiﬁcantly over the past ﬁve years, with an increasing number of new residents, particularly within the growing Asian immigrant population. Given this shift, there is a clear need for the City to establish a Diversity Program that helps bridge the gap in cultural understanding.

One key approach would be to organize cultural exchange programs per quarter, where the City can host multi-cultural events to promote understanding and appreciation of the diverse backgrounds of our residents. By supporting events and activities that bring people from diﬀerent backgrounds together, the City can enhance understanding and reduce cultural barriers. Additionally, these platforms can be used to raise awareness about various human services oﬀered by the City and its non-proﬁt partners. Educational booths can be set up at community events to inform residents about available resources like food assistance, mental health services, and educational support.This avenue opens up doors for other non proﬁt to direct some of their resources to city human services program . Currently the grants are provided from city to non proﬁt service providers and through partnership this can be reversed hence saving money for other programs Furthermore, working in collaboration with local non-proﬁts and businesses, the City can help create workforce development programs that oﬀer job training, mentorship, and leadership opportunities, particularly for underrepresented groups. These programs can provide valuable pathways to economic empowerment and support long-term social mobility within the community.

By focusing on cultural exchange, education, and economic opportunity, the City, in partnership with non-proﬁts, can take meaningful steps toward fostering racial equity, inclusion, and access for all Dublin residents.

In addition, the Commission makes a recommendation to the City Council to award grants to non-proﬁt organizations serving Dublin residents. The Commission reviews applications and receives presentations from the organizations. A list of Grant Recipients from 2024- 25 can be found on the City’s website.

Application Questions
Why are you interested in serving on the Human Services Commission? I have a deep commitment to people having access to services that impact the quality of their lives. I have lived in Dublin for the last 4 years and love living here. The community is beautiful and has so much to oﬀer families, retirees, and all people. I also worked in aﬀordable housing several years ago and I got to be a part of an organization who provides great properties for people with low income. I was the Executive Assistant to the Board of Directors and I got to be a part of many meetings where planning, funding, opening communities took place. I want to be a part of making a diﬀerence in my community.

What knowledge do you have of the human services offered in Dublin and the Tri-Valley? Have you or a family member participated in a local program?
Just recently I put an oﬀer in on a BMR unit that was near where I live. I do qualify as median income. When my daughter was going to Dublin High we were struggling a bit ﬁnancially and looked into the free bus program, but we did not qualify for that as it is for low income households. My sister is currently utilizing medi-cal and food programs for her and her girls. There were deﬁnitely times in my life where I could have qualiﬁed for services, and I did not utilize them.

What do you think are the major concerns/challenges of Dublin residents regarding human services programs? Please describe.

With the growing number of homes being built aﬀordability is a concern for people who live here. I rent and my apartment was raising rent 12% as the best deal for longest term renewal. If I went month to month they were going to raise it 64%. I am a single mom and I am the reliable income for my family. I can tell you that I face being able to ﬁnd long-term housing that isn't gouging me. I also think that residents face public transportation services to get them where they are going quickly. As well as basic services like aﬀordable and easy to access medical care. There is an aging population in Dublin and they may need to sell their homes to live in more assisted facilities. People love living here and don't want to move out of the area. I have also seen growing homeless population, are they getting mental health services? The rate at which the job market is changing also leads to available work, pay and diversity concerns. I know this isn't the DEI committee, but are all people welcome here - all races, all ages, all ability levels, all income levels, families, single people, single parents.

Briefly summarize your participation in civic or community activities/groups.

I volunteered for production of church services when I lived in Fremont. I worked at a church and volunteered in multiple events and weekly for about 10 years. I also worked at Eden Housing for about 4 years and administered their scholarship program for residents. For the last 7 years I have been training in a transformational modality where I coach and lead programs that have people see blind spots, take actions in their lives and careers and cause personal ownership in creating their lives. Over the years I have coached over 500 people in small groups and individually.

How do you feel about making a decision for the overall good of the community that may be unpopular with neighbors, residents or organizations?
I think when aﬀordable housing is available for people with special needs or low income there is a fear of housing values going down and the type of people who may come into neighborhoods. There can be stigmas, prejudice and false beliefs about what this will mean. It is important to address fears and reassure people that every community that serves lower income people also have stringent rules for behavior in that community and that the majority of people whether they have access to money or not are all doing their best. I do not mind standing for and being grounded in expanding communities to include all kinds of diﬀerent groups of people. Hearing people out and addressing their concerns is important in bringing understanding to whatever may be false and fear based beliefs.

What is the most important contribution you can make as a member of the Human Services Commission? The most important contribution I have is my personal experience and ability to see things from multiple views. I bring with me thousands of conversations around what is important to people and how to make an impact while also looking at having others be heard and on board.

I am creative with the way I look and have an understanding of how to address and speak to people with diﬀerent views bringing people together. Also, I am passionate about anything I do and look to elevate processes. I also have over 20+ years experience as an Executive Administrator supporting systems, Boards, Executives, Organizational Operations and project management. I have work directly with Finance and Business administration and have a strong understanding of these areas. 507
What are the ways the City, working with non-profit service providers, can further racial equity, inclusion, and access for Dublin residents?
Statistically speaking, people of color and speciﬁcally black and hispanic communities in California have had a harder time becoming homeowners, having education that would increase their income, being able to aﬀord housing in aﬄuent areas, and having access to health and food services. Although there are people of all backgrounds who also struggle with the same thing, I am speaking to the majority.

Providing access to aﬀordable housing, healthcare, access to transportation, and educational services through non-proﬁts allows for the people in these communities to have the power to raise their economic status and expanding the diversity in our community. With Dublin having roughly 4% black and 4% hispanic population there is an opportunity to have people feel welcome to live here and have access to our parks, shopping centers and great schools, and improving quality of life.

In addition, the Commission makes a recommendation to the City Council to award grants to non-proﬁt organizations serving Dublin residents.

Application Questions
Why are you interested in serving on the Human Services Commission? I am interested in serving on the Human Services Commission because I am passionate about supporting programs and initiatives that enhance the well-being and quality of life for all members of our community. I believe in fostering inclusivity, addressing critical needs such as housing, healthcare, and social services, and ensuring that resources are accessible to the most vulnerable populations. With my background in community engagement and problem-solving, I am eager to contribute ideas and collaborate on strategies that create a stronger, more equitable community in Dublin.

What knowledge do you have of the human services offered in Dublin and the Tri-Valley? Have you or a family member participated in a local program?
The human services oﬀered in Dublin and the Tri-Valley provide essential support to residents, including programs for housing assistance, senior services, food security, mental health support, and youth programs. Organizations like Axis Community Health, Tri-Valley Haven, and local food banks play a crucial role in delivering these services. While I have not personally participated in a program, I am aware of their impact on the community and appreciate the importance of ensuring these services are accessible and well-resourced. This awareness inspires me to contribute to enhancing and expanding these vital programs for all residents.

Briefly summarize your participation in civic or community activities/groups.

I have actively participated in community and civic activities, contributing to initiatives that foster cultural appreciation and community engagement. This includes supporting local arts and heritage projects, volunteering at events, and collaborating with organizations to promote inclusivity and well-being within the community. My involvement reﬂects a commitment to strengthening connections and creating opportunities for all residents to thrive.

How do you feel about making a decision for the overall good of the community that may be unpopular with neighbors, residents or organizations?
I believe that making decisions for the overall good of the community requires a thoughtful and balanced approach, even if those decisions may be unpopular with some individuals or groups. It’s important to prioritize long-term beneﬁts and consider the well-being of the broader community while remaining transparent about the reasoning behind the decision. Engaging in open communication, actively listening to concerns, and explaining how the decision aligns with the community’s goals can help foster understanding and trust, even when consensus is not possible.

What is the most important contribution you can make as a member of the Human Services Commission? As a member of the Human Services Commission, my most important contribution would be advocating for equitable access to essential services and fostering collaboration among community organizations to address the diverse needs of Dublin residents. I would focus on identifying gaps in existing programs, promoting initiatives that enhance housing aﬀordability, mental health resources, and cultural inclusivity, and ensuring that all voices in the community are heard. By leveraging my problem-solving skills and commitment to community well-being, I aim to support programs that create a stronger, more resilient, and inclusive Dublin.

What are the ways the City, working with non-profit service providers, can further racial equity, inclusion, and access for Dublin residents?
The City of Dublin can advance racial equity, inclusion, and access by collaborating with non-proﬁts to engage diverse communities, allocate resources equitably, and provide cultural competency training. Expanding language services, enhancing accessibility, and partnering with organizations serving underrepresented groups can address disparities and foster inclusion. Additionally, creating inclusive public spaces and programs that celebrate diversity ensures all residents feel represented and supported. Regular evaluation and community feedback will help sustain these efforts and build a more equitable community. 512

Application Questions
Why are you interested in serving on the Human Services Commission? In recent years, I have become more and more aware of the growing demand and unmet human service needs in the community, as well as the tremendous support that our local non proﬁt organizations have stepped forward to provide. I am hoping to be serving in this commission, getting ﬁrst hand information of the unmet needs in our community, brainstorm for ideas, mobilize local community and NPOs to best serve all members of our community.I
What knowledge do you have of the human services offered in Dublin and the Tri-Valley? Have you or a family member participated in a local program?
I was serving at the steering committee of the Eastern Alameda County's Need Assessment during last spring, getting to learn more about the growing demand and sector needs from each of the cities in East Alameda County. Meanwhile, I also volunteer occasionally with the Open Heart Kitchen with winter coat drive in the past years. No, I do not have a family member participated in a local program.

What do you think are the major concerns/challenges of Dublin residents regarding human services programs? Please describe.

There are several general areas of human service needs in the region, though I do not know speciﬁcally for the city of Dublin. - Housing: With the high cost of living in the Tri-Valley and the rising inﬂation rate, it's becoming more and more diﬃcult for essential workers (ﬁreﬁghters, custodians, teachers and beyond) to live and thrive in the region. I was told that with the 2-1-1 helpline, requests for housing were over three times higher than any other need andrepresenting the highest unmet need among callers. Right now, city of Dublin pays to Livermore to collaboratively support the unhoused community. - Healthcare: For the community, there are concerns revolving around health care including service availability and accessibility, the cost of services, perceptions of quality of services, and cultural responsiveness. Also, there seems to be a rapidly growing concern for mental health, in particular among the youth community. With our cultural diversity, providing culturally relevant understanding and support can be crucial to that community.

Briefly summarize your participation in civic or community activities/groups.

Currently, I am serving Heritage and Cultural Art commissioner for the city of Dublin. Meanwhile, I am also serving as the board chair for APAPA Tri-Valley Chapter, engaging the AAPi community in civic aﬀairs through voters registration, voters education, civic leadership. Lastly, I am also serving as the board member for Three Valley Community Foundation and its grant committee. Recently I also participated as a panel judge for TVNPA's Power of Giving Impact Awards.

How do you feel about making a decision for the overall good of the community that may be unpopular with neighbors, residents or organizations?
Oftentimes, any decision will not please everyone. Given any situation, it's important to 1) conduct due diligence to understand all the data and the whole story; 2) reach out to neighbors to communicate of what I have learned, and hear their diﬀerent perspectives; 3) evaluate all the pros and cons to reach a balanced (as much as possible) decision that can maximize the greatest impact while minimizing the potential burden or impact to the neighborhood;
4) lastly, need to communicate back to the community to explain the rationale of the decision as determined by the entire commission so that the community can have a transparent closure.

What is the most important contribution you can make as a member of the Human Services Commission? As an active community member in the cultural diverse community, my deep connection in the AAPI community as well as my involvement in the NPO network can allow me to provide culturally relevant consideration in the human service needs and connect the potential resources in the community together to help support our community.

What are the ways the City, working with non-profit service providers, can further racial equity, inclusion, and access for Dublin residents?
The city can
1) provide translation services for community members whose ﬁrst language is not English to better informed about the services that we 516
provide and utilize them where necessary;
2) support transportation services for seniors or disabled or members who cannot otherwise seek healthcare or services that the city provides;
3) oﬀer mental health support for the vulnerable community members who might not want to reveal their stress and problems with family members or friends due to social stigma.

In addition, the Commission makes a recommendation to the City Council to award grants to non-proﬁt organizations serving Dublin residents. The Commission reviews applications and receives presentations from the organizations. A list of Grant Recipients from 2024- 25 can be found on the City’s website.

Please describe.

I believe some of the major concerns Dublin residents might face regarding human services programs include access to resources, especially for underrepresented groups, and ensuring aﬀordability for families with varying income levels. As our community grows and becomes more diverse, it's essential that human services programs remain inclusive and equitable, oﬀering support for all residents, including seniors, low-income families, and those with special needs. Additionally, navigating these programs can sometimes be challenging, particularly for those who may not be familiar with the available resources or who face language barriers.

How do you feel about making a decision for the overall good of the community that may be unpopular with neighbors, residents or organizations?
I understand that making decisions for the overall good of the community can sometimes be challenging, especially when those decisions may not be popular with all neighbors, residents, or organizations. However, I believe that as a community leader, it is important to prioritize the long-term beneﬁts and well-being of everyone, even if it means making diﬃcult choices. I would approach such decisions with transparency, actively listening to the concerns of all stakeholders, and providing clear reasoning for why the decision is necessary. My goal would always be to create the most positive impact for the community as a whole while respecting diﬀerent viewpoints and working to ﬁnd solutions that address as many concerns as possible.

What are the ways the City, working with non-profit service providers, can further racial equity, inclusion, and access for Dublin residents?
Dublin City can work closely with non-proﬁt service providers to ensure that all communities, particularly underserved and minority groups, have equal access to services. One way to do this is by establishing targeted outreach programs that educate residents about available resources, especially those who may face language or cultural barriers. Additionally, non-proﬁts and the City could collaborate on organizing community events and support groups that promote diversity and bring diﬀerent cultural perspectives together.

How do you feel about making a decision for the overall good of the community that may be unpopular with neighbors, residents or organizations?
Many a times people like of populist measures like free bees and look at short term beneﬁts.

We need to think on long term eﬀects of our decisions. Taking decisions for the greater good of the community, even when they may be unpopular, is a responsibility I take very seriously. While it can be challenging to face opposition from neighbors, residents, or organizations, 522
I believe it is important to prioritize the long-term beneﬁts and well-being of the entire community. Eﬀective communication and transparency are key to explaining the rationale behind such decisions and addressing concerns.

Application Questions
Why are you interested in serving on the Human Services Commission? I am interested in serving on the Human Services Commission because I am passionate about helping to create a more equitable, inclusive, and supportive community for all residents, especially those in vulnerable situations. As a member of this commission, I would have the opportunity to directly contribute to addressing the most pressing human services needs in our community, whether it’s aﬀordable housing, mental health services, youth programs, or support for seniors and marginalized groups.

Dublin, like many growing cities, faces several challenges, including aﬀordable housing, racial equity, inclusiveness, and safety. Additionally, issues of racial equity and inclusiveness have become more prominent, as some residents feel that their voices and needs are not being fully addressed. Safety has also become a growing concern, with the rapid population growth potentially putting pressure on public safety resources. These challenges need to be thoughtfully addressed to ensure the well-being of all residents.

Through my work with Sewa Diwali and SiliconAndhra Manabadi, I’ve seen the importance of community-driven solutions. I would focus on strengthening outreach eﬀorts to raise awareness of available services, promoting cultural competence in the delivery of human services, and working towards equitable distribution of resources. Addressing racial equity and inclusiveness would be central to my approach, ensuring that underrepresented communities have a seat at the table and that their needs are heard and met. To address safety, I would advocate for stronger community policing, resources for mental health crisis intervention, and programs that foster stronger connections between residents and law enforcement.

I am eager to contribute to making Dublin a place where all residents feel safe, heard, and supported—where everyone has access to the resources they need to thrive.

What knowledge do you have of the human services offered in Dublin and the Tri-Valley? Have you or a family member participated in a local program?
Dublin oﬀers several human services to support its residents, particularly vulnerable populations.

The Dublin Housing Division provides aﬀordable housing for low- and moderate-income residents. Tri-Valley Haven in Livermore oﬀers shelter and services for homeless families and victims of domestic violence.

East Bay Works provides workforce development services throughout the Tri-Valley, focusing on helping individuals secure employment and improve their skills.

The Tri-Valley Community Foundation supports various community programs and nonproﬁt organizations aimed at improving quality of life in the region, funding initiatives in education, health, and human services.

Tri-Valley Health Center in Dublin oﬀers comprehensive primary care, including pediatrics, women's health, and behavioral health services, often on a sliding scale based on income.

Axis Community Health in Pleasanton provides a range of health services, including mental health care, substance use treatment, and family support.

Alameda County Behavioral Health Care Services oﬀers mental health services across the Tri-Valley, including outpatient care and crisis intervention.

The Dublin Senior Center provides recreational activities, health screenings, and social services. The Senior Support Program of the Tri-Valley oﬀers case management and assistance for seniors.

The Tri-Valley YMCA provides after-school programs, summer camps, and youth mentorship.

What do you think are the major concerns/challenges of Dublin residents regarding human services programs? Please describe.

Dublin is experiencing rapid growth, which brings both exciting opportunities and signiﬁcant challenges. One key concern that has emerged with this growth is safety within the community. As the city expands, maintaining a sense of security and addressing potential increases in crime are top priorities. Additionally, issues surrounding racial equality and inclusiveness have become more prominent, with some residents feeling that eﬀorts to foster a truly diverse and equitable community have not kept pace with the city’s growth. Ensuring that all 525
residents feel valued and included, regardless of background, is an important challenge that needs to be addressed for Dublin to thrive as a fully inclusive and harmonious community.

With families relocating to Dublin for its good schools and suburban environment, the community now has a signiﬁcant number of children and young adults. However, health services, including mental health care, are not always aﬀordable or accessible to many residents, particularly youth, seniors, and underserved communities.

As the population ages, the demand for senior services such as healthcare, social services, and aging-in-place program becomes more pronounced. Dublin residents may be concerned about whether there are enough resources to support the growing senior population, including assistance with daily living, healthcare, and community engagement.

Additionally, transportation and accessibility can limit residents' ability to access essential services, especially for those without personal vehicles. Even when services exist, residents may not always know how to access them. Raising awareness about available programs and ensuring that vulnerable populations are informed remains a challenge. Eﬀective outreach strategies are critical for improving communication and ensuring inclusivity across the community.

Briefly summarize your participation in civic or community activities/groups.

I am an active member of the Sewa Diwali organization, where I have helped organize food and necessity drives to support our community.

Last year alone, we collected a total of 12,836 pounds of food, which was donated to local food pantries, food banks, and schools. In Dublin, our community contributed more than 1,400 pounds of food to help those in need.

In addition to food, we also collected clothing and other essential items for children, including diapers, baby food, shoes, and socks, which we donated to Hively in Dublin, a nonproﬁt that supports local families.

I am also a dedicated volunteer with Silicon Andhra Manabadi, where I’ve taught for over ﬁve years. This organization focuses on preserving and passing down the Telugu language and culture to future generations. Through my teaching, I help students connect with their heritage and foster a deeper appreciation for their cultural roots.

Through both of these organizations, I am committed to serving my community and making a positive impact, whether through direct support or cultural education. I have been part of these 2 organizations since I moved to Dublin in 2017.

How do you feel about making a decision for the overall good of the community that may be unpopular with neighbors, residents or organizations?
As a human service commission member, I understand that making decisions for the overall good of the community often involves balancing complex needs and may be unpopular with some residents or organizations. My priority is to serve the needs of the entire community, particularly its most vulnerable members, and ensure resources are allocated where they are needed most. I would prioritize equity, transparency, and long-term beneﬁts when making decisions. Clear communication about the reasoning behind these decisions, as well as actively listening to concerns, is essential for building understanding.

Ultimately, tough decisions are sometimes necessary to create a fairer, more inclusive community. While such decisions may cause short- term discomfort or pushback, they are often needed to address systemic issues and promote social justice. The ultimate goal is to build a community where everyone, especially the most vulnerable, has the opportunity to thrive. As a commission member, I would always aim to make choices that are fair and in the best interest of the community’s long-term health and success.

What is the most important contribution you can make as a member of the Human Services Commission? A signiﬁcant contribution I would like to make as a member of the Human Services Commission includes advocating for policies and initiatives that eﬀectively address the unmet needs of vulnerable and underserved populations within the community. I would assess and prioritize the economic, social, and health needs of all groups to ensure that resources are allocated where they are most needed.

Once the needs are identiﬁed and prioritized, I would focus on securing funding and resources to support essential human services programs. This would involve building strong partnerships with local government agencies, nonproﬁts, and community organizations to create a coordinated, eﬃcient approach to service delivery.

Additionally, I would advocate for suﬃcient resources to support programs that assist individuals facing homelessness, mental health challenges, and economic hardship. Regularly evaluating the eﬀectiveness of human services programs and making data-driven recommendations for improvement will help ensure that services continue to have a positive impact on the community and remain responsive to evolving needs.

Ultimately, I would ensure that the work of the Human Services Commission is aligned with the community's most pressing issues, providing timely and eﬀective support to those who need it most.

What are the ways the City, working with non-profit service providers, can further racial equity, inclusion, and access for Dublin residents?
The City of Dublin, in partnership with nonproﬁt organizations, can promote racial equity, inclusion, and access through several key initiatives. First, the city can collect and analyze data to identify disparities in housing, education, healthcare, and employment, ensuring that resources are allocated to communities that need them most.

Partnerships with nonproﬁts can help improve outreach and access to city services, particularly for racial and ethnic minorities, through culturally competent programs and translation services. The city can also foster economic equity by supporting workforce development and minority-owned businesses, oﬀering job training, mentorship, and grants.

In education, nonproﬁts can play a key role in closing achievement gaps by providing after-school programs, mentoring, and college preparation for minority students. Additionally, the city should actively involve diverse communities in decision-making by creating advisory boards and engaging them in policy discussions focused on racial equity.

To ensure progress, the city should set clear racial equity goals and regularly report on outcomes. Establishing feedback loops where residents from marginalized communities can voice concerns and provide input on city policies and programs will be essential.

These eﬀorts will help create an inclusive and welcoming environment for all races.

In addition, the Commission makes a recommendation to the City Council to award grants to non-proﬁt organizations serving Dublin residents. The Commission reviews applications and receives presentations from the organizations. A list of Grant Recipients from 2024- 25 can be found on the City’s website. Applicants to the Human Services Commission are encouraged to review the list of organizations and consider if you have ﬁnancial interests, including sources of income, interest in real property, personal ﬁnances or investments with any of these organizations. This may mean there is a conﬂict of interest and may limit your participation in the process. If you have further questions, please reach out to Marsha Moore, City Clerk at [email protected] or Brad Olson, Management Analyst, Parks and Community Services Department at [email protected]. 527

Application Questions
Why are you interested in serving on the Human Services Commission? I am interested in issues around responsible spending of public resources, and in particular I am interested in measures of results and eﬀectiveness. Charitable spending should not be an end in itself and it particularly should not result in supporting organizations that become more vested in supporting themselves than their clients.

What knowledge do you have of the human services offered in Dublin and the Tri-Valley? Have you or a family member participated in a local program?
I am familiar with several services oﬀered in Dublin and the Trivalley, such as Open Heart Kitchen, and the domestic violence shelter in Livermore, and the hospice. I am familiar with Axis Community Health. When my mother came from Germany to live with us Axis helped her enroll in Covered California. My husband and I have taken classes at Chabot. Also, my stepson is developmentally disabled and uses services similar to Sunﬂower Hill but in Marin. I am very familiar with issues around needs of and services for developmentally disabled person.

What do you think are the major concerns/challenges of Dublin residents regarding human services programs? Please describe.

Dublin seems to have a large population of hard working and employed residents who are still occasionally struggling to make ends meet. I think it would be nice to have emergency funds available for residents who are facing unforeseen emergencies. The hard working Dublin residents need access to aﬀordable high quality childcare! Dublin also has long term residents who may own their houses but are not ﬁnancially equipped to maintain their houses and properties properly as they age. Perhaps programs to assist with that for vulnerable residents would be nice. We also have large numbers of people who work in hospitality but may not earn enough for a secure existence. We also have members of the military who are on assignments in Dublin sometimes for months or a year or two. I feel we could perhaps do more to warmly welcome them and their families in our community. In the last decade we have had a large inﬂux of working immigrant Asians who often bring their parents who seem to be struggling with language and customs. As an immigrant myself I understand the challenges of integrating in a new country and culture and we could perhaps work on more programs to help family members of immigrants to integrate successfully. Unrelated, even in Dublin, we see people who struggle with mental illness and substance abuse.

Finally, an aging population faces challenges related to illness and disabilities, and social isolation.

Briefly summarize your participation in civic or community activities/groups.

I am involved in a mini horse rescue up in Walnut Creek, Angels for minis. Here in Dublin I am involved in a community chorus, Chorus Eclectic, which I would recommend to anyone for its beneﬁts of community and companionship, as well as cultural enrichment. I have volunteered at and supported the Alameda food bank. I have participated in Neighborhood Watch related activities. I have adopted from and supported the SPCA.

How do you feel about making a decision for the overall good of the community that may be unpopular with neighbors, residents or organizations?
I have been an executive for many years in industry and as such am quite comfortable with making unpopular decisions… However, there are some elements that are important with regards to decision making. First of all, decisions need to be made rationally, on the basis of facts, and in the interest of the entire community. I would pledge to always do my best to aspire to that. Secondly, as we serve the residents we owe them to communicate. We are not rulers, we are servants. As such I would hope to do my part to help communicate transparently the why of any decision. Sometimes, even if not everyone agrees, people acting in good faith will at least appreciate transparency and good intentions.

What is the most important contribution you can make as a member of the Human Services Commission? I am an experienced business executive and as such used to making decisions rationally. I am used to processing vast amounts of highly technical information. I am also politically independent and not beholden to any particular ideology and as such can make decisions neutrally, based on facts.

What are the ways the City, working with non-profit service providers, can further racial equity, inclusion, and access for Dublin residents?
I would hope that we can further equity, inclusion and access for Dublin residents on all dimensions of human diversity, not just racial diversity. Dublin is racially quite diverse, particularly if you consider racial diversity to mean that whites/ethnic Europeans are not in the majority. However, the last few years of over-heated and antagonistic public discourse in the country around racial equity have probably 529
been counterproductive. It seems to me that we are the most inclusive when we focus on the fact that we are all Americans. As such we should focus in our wonderful city on the fact that we are all Dubliners and support each other as fellow residents and humans, not as members of particular groups.

In addition, the Commission makes a recommendation to the City Council to award grants to non-proﬁt organizations serving Dublin residents. The Commission reviews applications and receives presentations from the organizations. A list of Grant Recipients from 2024- 25 can be found on the City’s website.

Application Questions
What knowledge do you have of the programs offered through the Parks and Community Services Department? Have you or a family member participated in a program sponsored by the Department? I have a comprehensive and robust knowledge base about the wide variety of programs oﬀered through the Dublin Parks and Community Services Department. My understanding stems from personal experience as a Dublin resident and current Parks and Community Services Alternate Commissioner, as well as through engagement with residents and research. At a young age, I began participating in Irish Dancing classes, facilitated by the Dublin Parks and Community Services Department. This experience served as one of my earliest encounters with community involvement in Dublin and instilled in me the deep impact that community engagement can have. This demonstrated how recreation can serve as a catalyst for fostering connections within our city.

My knowledge continues to expand as I consistently utilize resources such as the Dublin Activity Guide as a source for exploration of the various oﬀerings and opportunities for involvement. As an Alternate Commissioner, I understand the importance of listening to the needs of community members and I strive to share this feedback to assist with the decision-making process for the programs oﬀered by the Parks and Community Services Department.

From a young age, the importance of community involvement was instilled in me which fostered the desire in all of my family members to participate in Dublin sponsored programs, exempliﬁed by my grandfather who visited the Dublin Senior Center every weekday, my mother taking a quilting course facilitated by the Parks and Community Services Department, and my siblings and I participating in basketball, soccer, baseball, and swimming lessons each summer through the City of Dublin. I was raised with the central principle that involvement in City programs does not only enrich our individual lives but also contributes to the collective fabric of our community. This foundational belief has motivated me to continually seek out, support, and get involved in the initiatives and programs championed by the Dublin Parks and Community Services Department.

How do you feel about user fees for recreation programs and park/facility reservations? I ﬁrmly believe that user fees for recreation programs and park and facility reservations are essential for ensuring the maintenance and accountability of our parks and facilities. I continue to learn about the current breakdown of user fees and how funds are allocated as an Alternate Commissioner and as a participant in Inside Dublin, and I consider the user fees to be well-structured, with a clear emphasis on prioritizing the enjoyment of these spaces for Dublin residents and community members. From a functional perspective, I value how parks and our City facilities serve not only as spaces for recreation but also as practical hubs within our community, fulﬁlling various needs through their designs and objectives.

In addition, I view user fees for recreation programs as playing a crucial functional role, supporting maintenance, program development, staﬃng, and ensuring the sustainability and accessibility of recreational oﬀerings for the community. I wholeheartedly support initiatives such as the Dublin Fee Assistance program, which aligns closely with my personal mission of eliminating ﬁnancial barriers to access, through just program and policy development. It is imperative that economic status should not bar access to these beautiful and important recreational spaces and programs, and the Dublin Fee Assistance program seeks to ensure that all Dublin community members have equitable access to recreational opportunities.

How do you feel about making a decision for the overall good of the community but unpopular with neighbors, residents, or organizations?
I ﬁrmly believe that making decisions for the overall good of the community, even if these decisions are unpopular with certain neighbors, residents, or organizations, requires a delicate balance of empathy, transparency, and strong commitment to the greater good. Drawing from my experience in community engagement, I understand the importance of ensuring that all voices are heard and respected throughout the decision-making process. While it is inevitable that some decisions may not align with the preferences of certain individuals or groups, it is imperative to prioritize the well-being and long-term interests of the entire community.

In these situations, I approach the decision-making process with a dedication to fostering open communication and transparency. It is essential to provide clear explanations for the reasoning behind decisions, as well as to actively solicit input and feedback from aﬀected parties. By maintaining a transparent dialogue and ensuring that community members feel heard and supported, even in instances of disagreement, we can work towards building trust and understanding within our community. Ultimately, my commitment lies in making decisions that uphold the collective well-being and advance the shared goals and values of our Dublin community, even if they may be met with initial resistance from some residents.

What is the most important contribution you can make as a member of the Parks and Community Services Commission? 532
As a member of the Parks and Community Services Commission, I am poised to further several signiﬁcant contributions that reﬂect both my personal experiences and my professional expertise. First, as a long-term resident of Dublin, I bring a unique perspective that is shaped by my upbringing in the City’s parks and recreational spaces. My journey as a Dublin community member from childhood to young adulthood allows me to give a voice to the evolving role these spaces and community services serve in the lives of Dublin residents across various age groups. Additionally, as a young adult representative, I am committed to amplifying the voices and addressing the needs of residents aged 20-29, ensuring their perspectives are implemented into decision-making processes and creating recreational programs and events that engage this age group. My commitment and passion for the City of Dublin is echoed through my desire to learn more about the municipal services in our City as a participant in the Inside Dublin program and I actively contribute in Parks and Community Services Commission discussions to share in developing the processes and vision for our City.

In addition, I am deeply passionate about environmental sustainability and community development, as evidenced by my professional experience as a Community Engagement Coordinator at GRID Alternatives, a nonproﬁt organization that leverages state funds to provide low-income qualiﬁed Bay Area residents with no-cost solar systems, to create economic and environmental justice. Utilizing this knowledge, I aim to advocate for and implement initiatives that promote environmental stewardship while creating accessible, safe, and inclusive spaces for all community members. My personal mission aligns closely with the City of Dublin’s vision of a “New American Backyard”, where the beauty of our City is shared, maintained, and enjoyed by everyone.

This vision has been further strengthened through my experiences as a member of the Parks and Community Services Commission, through which I’ve been able to participate in community events and hear the stories of fellow Dublin residents. At the recent groundbreaking event for Forest Park in September 2024, I was so pleased and proud to learn from community members who resided near the site of their elation in now having a park developed in their own backyard. I was touched to be able to share this feedback at the following Parks and Community Services Commission meeting, which enhanced the responsibility and passion I feel for the transformative recreational spaces in Dublin and the way they are shaped.

I aspire to enhance community connection through the ideation of the development of events and activities that foster a sense of belonging and cohesion among residents. This includes community-centered events such as pop-up parks, regular community bike rides, and parks passports where residents can document the parks they have visited and encourage them to explore recreational spaces in Dublin that they may not have been exposed to. These strengthen social bonds within our diverse community and model the way that parks and recreational spaces serve as social infrastructure, creating vital ties between Dublin community members. I have been able to witness the way that Dublin strives to invest in unique and emerging experiences for all residents, through the eﬀorts of the Parks and Community Services Department, through new physical installations at our parks or through creative modes of connection at events.

In summary, my multifaceted background, 24 years of being a Dublin resident, experiences within the City, passion for environmental sustainability, and commitment to fostering community connection position me to be a proactive and an eﬀective member of the Parks and Community Services Commission. I am dedicated to utilizing my experiences and expanding my understanding of urban and community planning to contribute meaningfully to the betterment of Dublin for all of its residents.

Why are you interested in serving on the Parks and Community Services Commission? I am deeply passionate about serving on the Parks and Community Services Commission because of my unwavering commitment to the Dublin community and my vision to cultivate community centers in every aspect of our City. The opportunity to advocate for the community and have a voice in decision-making processes resonates deeply with me. I am driven by a desire for community outreach and connection, with a speciﬁc focus on the role that our parks and recreation facilities play in building the fabric that weaves through our City.

Dublin's unique blend of natural resources, recreational facilities, rich traditions, and diverse cultural makeup make it a truly special place, compelling both myself and others to forge a sense of community within this remarkable environment. Through my experiences, I have learned ﬁrsthand what true community means through the residents of Dublin. Events like the Dublin Farmer’s Market, Splatter, community bike rides, and our St. Patrick’s Day celebration serve as vibrant expressions of our community spirit.

Growing up in Dublin, parks and recreational programs played a pivotal role in my life. As a child, they served as an extension of our backyard, fostering opportunities for creativity and connection with neighborhood friends. Now, these same spaces hold a diﬀerent signiﬁcance, providing avenues for reconnecting with friends old and new, enjoying essential recreation in nature, and creating lasting memories.

My comprehension, passion, and respect for parks and recreational facilities as spaces for connection has been heightened throughout my current term on the Parks and Community Services Commission. This opportunity has inspired in me a desire to connect with Dublin residents further, resulting in my participation in the Inside Dublin program where I’ve been able to learn more about City services and share with other residents about our joy for Dublin, and even inspired me to host our neighborhood’s ﬁrst community holiday gathering on Independence Day, utilizing our local park as the host site for this special event. Gathering at this space facilitated new connections, friendships with individuals from diﬀerent ages and backgrounds, and the desire for us to continue to gather as neighbors with one another.

The parks and community spaces in Dublin are undeniably the heart and soul of our town, where countless memories are made and cherished. Particularly during the challenging times of the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown, parks within Dublin and the greater Tri-Valley region 533
served as vital lifelines, oﬀering safe havens for community members to remain connected and rooted to our outstanding natural resources.

My perspective is rooted in an equity and accessibility lens, believing that everyone should have equal access to the beneﬁts of our parks and recreational opportunities. This is displayed through my advocacy in ongoing Parks and Community Services Commission discussions on the translation of languages on signage in recreational spaces and alleviating physical and ﬁnancial barriers to access. Witnessing families and friends come together at Dublin parks and the farmers market, sharing meals, making memories, and appreciating our communal spaces, reaﬃrms my belief in the transformative power of these environments.

Having grown up near Dolan Park, I recognize the privilege of having such a valuable asset in close proximity. My years of living in Dublin have provided me with a deep understanding of the City, its community, its development, and its aspirations. I am eager to leverage this understanding to contribute meaningfully to the continued growth and enrichment of our beloved City and shape the direction of where we are going and how we get there through service on the Parks and Community Services Commission In what organizations are you currently a member? Please list.

Currently, I am a dedicated volunteer at Diablo Day Camp Little Hills Ranch for the past ten years, where I have had the privilege of helping to create enriching experiences for campers. At Diablo Day Camp I direct a unit of 25 campers ranging in ages, construct educational programming, training, and policies on diversity, equity, and inclusion, and currently serve as a Training Director through which I mentor 90 new and returning camp counselors to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for campers every year. Additionally, I am an active volunteer at St. Raymond’s Church Food Bank, where I contribute my time and eﬀorts to support our community members that are experiencing food insecurity. Each month, I assist with the construction, packing, and distribution of over 250 boxes of food items for our community members. I have furthered my involvement within this organization by participating in the preparation of the annual Tri-Valley Thanksgiving Outreach Dinner and the St. Raymond’s Fall Festival. These volunteer roles have not only allowed me to give back to my community but have also deepened my understanding of the importance of service and collaboration in fostering a strong and vibrant community.

Furthermore, my family members have utilized these City-owned facilities for various purposes, including renting spaces for events or gatherings. These ﬁrsthand experiences have provided me with valuable insights into the amenities, capabilities, and importance of these community spaces within Dublin. My variety of interactions with these facilities underscore my commitment to and appreciation for the role they play in fostering community engagement, enrichment, and connectivity within our City.

How can the City provide better equity and inclusion to all persons that use our parks, trails, and facilities, and access our programs?
The City of Dublin has a pivotal role in fostering equity and inclusion for all individuals who utilize our parks, trails, facilities, and programs.

This commitment begins with the proactive elimination of barriers to access, including ﬁnancial obstacles. By eﬀectively advertising City programs that oﬀer fee assistance, we can ensure that ﬁnancial constraints do not prevent anyone from enjoying the beneﬁts of our recreational oﬀerings.

It is imperative that our parks, trails, and facilities are physically accessible to all, and that events are planned, and decisions are conducted with the needs of people with disabilities in mind. This entails not only ensuring that facilities are ADA compliant and providing designated parking but also ensuring the availability of benches and rest spaces to accommodate individuals with varying needs. We must strive to make our spaces accessible from a sensory standpoint, particularly for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities, by considering factors such as noise levels and sensory-friendly amenities. The Dublin Parks and Community Services Department displayed this need through the interest that residents all throughout the Bay Area have had in our new Sensory Splash oﬀering at the Wave, which can serve as a guidebook in developing similar programs and events. In addition, the City of Dublin can further accessibility eﬀorts by implementing assistive web technology for key recreation resources including the website, DublinRecGuide.com, to guarantee the virtual resources that allow residents to book events in parks and recreational facilities are accessible to individuals with disabilities.

In the pursuit of equity and inclusion, the City must continue to implement robust anti-discrimination policies and reporting mechanisms to address any instances of bias or prejudice. Open channels for communication and feedback are essential for community members to express concerns and suggest improvements, fostering a culture of accountability and responsiveness within our City. In addition, these 534
eﬀorts can be enhanced by oﬀering educational programs for City staﬀ, Committee members, including the members of the Parks and Community Services Commission, and residents on topics related to equity and inclusion. In various roles, as an employee at GRID Alternatives, volunteer at Diablo Day Camp, and previously as the Vice President of Diversity Equity and Inclusion for the Kappa Alpha Theta Fraternity, I have aided in shaping curriculums and participated in impactful programming centered around equity, and I have personally experienced the profound impact that this training investment can have on decision-making processes and community engagement.

Additionally, showcasing the diversity of our community and paying homage to the Indigenous peoples and the history of Dublin are critical aspects of promoting inclusivity. By celebrating our community's rich tapestry of cultures and traditions through raising awareness of important cultural dates and initiatives on social media or events such as Pride Night at the Dublin Farmer’s Market, we create spaces that are welcoming and aﬃrming for all residents.

Another important priority is ensuring that accommodations are readily available to meet the diverse needs of our residents. This may include providing interpretation services and investing in culturally responsive signage and promotional materials in languages other than English.

By embracing these principles and taking concrete actions to implement them, the City of Dublin can create a more equitable and inclusive environment where all individuals have access and feel valued, respected, and empowered to participate fully in our parks, trails, facilities, and programs.

Application Questions
What knowledge do you have of the programs offered through the Parks and Community Services Department? Have you or a family member participated in a program sponsored by the Department? I am familiar with several programs oﬀered through the Parks and Community Services Department. Several years back, My son participated in the Jr. Warriors basketball program, where I also had the opportunity to volunteer. Additionally, I have attended the Splatter event almost every year, which I appreciate as a fantastic celebration of Dublin's community and culture. I have also volunteered for the Dublin parade, contributing to its success and connecting with neighbors. These experiences have given me a strong appreciation for the Department’s role in fostering community engagement and providing diverse opportunities for residents How do you feel about user fees for recreation programs and park/facility reservations? I believe user fees for recreation programs and park/facility reservations are reasonable, as they help maintain the quality and availability of these services.

However, these fees should remain nominal to ensure they are accessible to most of the community.

Additionally, it is important to have programs or subsidies in place to support low-income individuals and families who may otherwise be unable to aﬀord these opportunities. This approach promotes inclusivity and ensures that everyone in the community can beneﬁt from these valuable resources.

How do you feel about making a decision for the overall good of the community but unpopular with neighbors, residents, or organizations?
I believe decisions made for the greater good of the community should be unbiased, considerate, and representative of all the residents of Dublin within their population. That is often times diﬃcult, because not all the neighbors, residents, or organizations are going to agree, but you really have to focus on what's going to be best for the whole community.

Dublin is a very lively and cosmopolitan city, representing all diﬀerent ethnicities and cultural backgrounds. Decisions made should be cognizant of this and sensitive to the fact that not all groups in every decision may view their needs respected or represented, even if the decision is not necessarily popular. Ultimately, these types of decisions fortify a community by furthering principles of equity and inclusion for all people.

What is the most important contribution you can make as a member of the Parks and Community Services Commission? As a member of the Parks and Community Services Commission, my most important contribution would be to act as a bridge between the community and the city, ensuring that decisions reﬂect the diverse needs and voices of Dublin’s residents. With my experience participating in and volunteering for programs like Jr. Warriors basketball, the Splatter event, and the Dublin parade, I bring a deep understanding of how these services impact our community.

I would focus on promoting inclusivity, enhancing accessibility, and supporting programs that strengthen community bonds while preserving ﬁscal responsibility. By collaborating with fellow commissioners and listening to residents, I aim to help shape initiatives that enhance quality of life for all in Dublin, ensuring that parks, facilities, and events remain vibrant, welcoming, and reﬂective of our city’s diversity.

Why are you interested in serving on the Parks and Community Services Commission? As a Parks and Community Services Commissioner or chair person, I believe my greatest contribution would be to act in the role of liaison between the community and the city in ensuring that decisions made are representative of the diversiﬁed needs and voices of Dublin's residents. Having participated in and volunteered for numerous programsI have a profound understanding of how these services impact our community.

I would continue to support inclusivity and the bettering of accessibility, and support those programs that help bind community members together, all while keeping an eye on ﬁscal responsibility. By working with other commissioners and listening to our residents, I plan to help mold initiatives that improve the quality of life for everyone in Dublin, making sure parks, facilities, and events remain vibrant, friendly, and representative of the diversity within our city.

In what organizations are you currently a member? Please list. 541
I am currently a board member of a local chess club and am actively involved in teaching ﬁnancial literacy and personal ﬁnance classes to middle/high schoolers. I have helped organize chess tournaments and used Dublin's facilities for the same. I am keenly aware of the facilities and can help volunteer in many areas
Additionally, I have volunteered for community events in Dublin, such as the Jr. Warriors basketball program, the Splatter event, and the Dublin parade.

What knowledge do you have of the City-owned community facilities in Dublin, such as the Dublin Senior Center, Shannon Community Center, or The Wave? Have you or a family member rented facilities with the City of Dublin? I am aware of these facilities and how they operate. I have helped a friend navigate through the rental process. I have attended events at the Dublin Senior Center and aware of the same.

How can the City provide better equity and inclusion to all persons that use our parks, trails, and facilities, and access our programs?
The City can ensure better equity and inclusion by focusing on accessibility, representation, and community engagement. This includes:

Accessibility: That parks, trails, and facilities are physically accessible to people with disabilities and equitably located within all neighborhoods. Oﬀering ﬁnancial assistance or sliding-scale fees for programs can make services inclusive for low-income families.

Representation: A space to develop workshops and activities that represent Dublin's cultural diversity, considering the many diﬀerent ethnic groups in a participatory role to ensure their needs and preferences are taken into account. This could include festivals, classes, or workshops that present cultures and traditions of other ethnic groups.

Outreach and Inclusion: Ensure active solicitation of views by underrepresented groups through surveys, town halls, and other forms of outreach. Such collaboration with local organizations serving the most diverse populations can serve better for the City's understanding of needs and the ability to cater to all its constituents. 542

What knowledge do you have of the programs offered through the Parks and Community Services Department? Have you or a family member participated in a program sponsored by the Department? Parks and recreational services play a pivotal role in fostering the growth and vibrancy of any city. They hold a special place in the hearts of residents. For children, parks provide an outlet to explore their energy and imagination through playgrounds and play structures. For others, these spaces address cultural and artistic needs with theaters, stages, and museums. Parks also nurture the natural environment and serve as gathering places that encourage connection and interaction. These services are a reﬂection of who we are as a city, fostering unity and a sense of belonging. They oﬀer spaces where people of all ages can communicate, athletes can train, artists can perform and share their craft, and residents can stay active and engaged.

Dublin is proud to oﬀer a diverse range of recreational opportunities, highlighted by its twenty parks, many of which showcase art by local artists. The city is also known for its extensive network of bike trails, including the popular Iron Horse Trail, and bike lanes that promote healthy lifestyles and accessibility. Recently, Dublin introduced the innovative Parks Passport Challenge, encouraging residents of all ages to explore the city's parks and meet Glen the Guide, an engaging icon who represents connection, play, and a love of nature.

The city also cultivates a strong sense of community through special events and gatherings at its recreational facilities. Some of my personal favorites include Ghosts of Dublin, the weekly Farmers Markets, Splatter, and the Summer Concert Series. Dublin also hosts beloved celebrations like the St. Patrick’s Day Festivities, the Spring Eggstravaganza, and the Beneﬁt Concert, which bring people together to create lasting memories and connections.

Recreational facilities in Dublin cater to all ages, from youth to seniors. For instance, The Wave oﬀers opportunities for exercise, adrenaline- ﬁlled water activities, and bonding with friends. One unique aspect of Dublin is its emphasis on public art programs, which add charm and character to the city. From the brightly painted utility boxes (the popcorn one is my personal favorite!) to the upcoming patio art chairs project, Dublin's art initiatives never fail to bring joy to the community. I’m particularly excited about seeing these new patio chairs, one of which is being painted by a close friend of mine!
The Parks and Recreation Commission’s mission is vital to the city: to promote healthy lifestyles, preserve Dublin’s heritage, provide enriching recreational experiences, and strengthen the community’s overall identity. Dublin’s parks and recreational services are not just amenities—they are an integral part of what makes our city a vibrant, connected, and welcoming place to live.

All of our family members have participated and availed various services provided and have always enjoyed and grateful to the city and its parks and community services team.

How do you feel about user fees for recreation programs and park/facility reservations? Maintaining our famous parks and recreational areas are very expensive and user fees can be an eﬀective way to maintain and improve public amenities. It can help oﬀset operational and maintenance costs, ensuring that parks and recreational programs remain sustainable without overburdening the general budget. But they should be implemented thoughtfully to ensure equity and accessibility. It’s essential to strike a balance so that fees do not become a barrier to access, especially for lower-income families. Here’s how I approach the concept:

Tiered Fee Structure: A tiered pricing model can accommodate diﬀerent groups. For example, discounted rates for seniors, students, or residents ensure community members can access facilities, while higher rates for non-residents or premium services help generate additional revenue.

Reinvestment into the Community: Fees collected should directly beneﬁt the community by funding facility upgrades, program expansions, and new initiatives that enhance recreational opportunities.

Community Input and Transparency: Regular feedback from residents about fee structures is crucial. Transparent communication about why fees are charged and how the funds are used fosters trust and encourages community buy-in.

In summary, user fees can be a practical tool for maintaining quality parks and programs, but they should always prioritize inclusivity, fairness, and reinvestment into community beneﬁts.

How do you feel about making a decision for the overall good of the community but unpopular with neighbors, residents, or organizations?
Making decisions for the overall good of the community, even if they are unpopular with certain neighbors, residents, or organizations, requires strong leadership and a commitment to the long-term well-being of the community. Here’s my perspective on such situations:

Prioritizing the Greater Good: As a public servant, the role is to make decisions that beneﬁt the community as a whole, even when those choices might not be popular with all individuals or groups. Sometimes, this means taking bold actions or making tough calls that can 546
address broader needs, improve sustainability, or provide long-term beneﬁts.

Transparency and Communication: It’s crucial to engage with the community and explain the rationale behind decisions, especially when they may not align with everyone’s preferences. Providing clear, transparent communication about the reasons for a decision and how it serves the collective good helps build understanding and trust.

Listening to Concerns: While making tough decisions, it’s important to listen to the concerns and feedback from residents, neighbors, and organizations. This helps ensure that their voices are heard and considered, and it may lead to ﬁnding compromise solutions or mitigations that can address speciﬁc issues without sacriﬁcing the overall goal.

Long-Term Vision: Unpopular decisions often stem from a short-term discomfort that’s necessary for long-term progress. For example, initiatives like improving public infrastructure or implementing policies that promote environmental sustainability may not be immediately popular but are vital for the future health and growth of the community.

Building Consensus: Ideally, even tough decisions should be backed by community input and eﬀorts to build consensus. While it may not always be possible to please everyone, striving to ensure that diverse viewpoints are considered can lead to more balanced, equitable solutions.

In the end, making decisions for the overall good requires courage, empathy, and a steadfast commitment to the future of the community, even if it means facing opposition in the present. Balancing these factors while maintaining open dialogue and transparency helps ensure that the community remains strong and uniﬁed in the long run.

What is the most important contribution you can make as a member of the Parks and Community Services Commission? Throughout my career in HighTech, I have honed a set of skills that make me well-suited for a role on the Parks and Community Services Commission. My leadership experience has equipped me to collaborate eﬀectively with others, communicate my ideas clearly, and help my team express their perspectives to achieve collective goals. My background working with diverse teams, along with my skills in inﬂuencing, problem-solving, and perseverance, will enable me to contribute meaningfully to the Commission.

I also see myself as a trailblazer, always willing to take on new challenges and explore innovative approaches.

These strengths will help me serve as an eﬀective representative on the Commission, ensuring that Dublin remains a vibrant, inclusive community for people of all ages. I am excited to apply my experience to generate creative solutions to the challenges Dublin faces, while fostering collaboration across committees and commissions to work towards shared objectives.

Why are you interested in serving on the Parks and Community Services Commission? I have called Dublin home for over eleven years, immersing myself in everything this vibrant city has to oﬀer. From nationally recognized public schools and lush parks to lively festivals, Dublin has provided me with countless opportunities to volunteer, connect with others, and enjoy life as a teenager growing up in such a dynamic community. Dublin’s rich diversity and its status as a cultural melting pot have exposed me to a variety of perspectives and ideas, shaping who I am today.

Reﬂecting on how deeply the city has supported and enriched my life, I am driven to give back to Dublin and its residents in meaningful ways. For example, with the support of city funding, I was able to organize an event at Dublin’s renowned Performing Arts Center, allocating resources for marketing materials such as ﬂyers and posters. This eﬀort helped me engage students, teachers, and school administrators, showcasing the power of community collaboration.

My children’s involvement in the Youth Advisory Committee further deepened my understanding of Dublin’s city organizations and impact- driven projects. Serving as the chairperson gave me the chance to contribute to cherished events like the Tree Lighting Ceremony, voice ideas at the annual Tri-Valley Roundtable, and assist youth through initiatives like the Teen Job and Career Fair. These experiences allowed me to connect with many teens across Dublin and support them in meaningful ways.

I am excited about the opportunity to serve on the Parks and Community Services Commission because Dublin’s parks have played a signiﬁcant role in my life. Whether practicing tennis, basketball, cricket, or volleyball, going for runs, exercising, or simply gathering with neighbors and friends, I’ve always appreciated the value these spaces bring to our community. I’ve also enjoyed ﬁrst-class recreational facilities like The Wave and have fond memories of taking photos with friends at Heritage Park and exploring the Kolb House.

Joining this commission would allow me to contribute toward enhancing and expanding our parks and facilities, making them even more accessible and appealing to residents of all ages and interests. I’m eager to help ensure that Dublin’s parks and recreational services continue to foster lifelong memories and build a stronger, more uniﬁed community. I look forward to collaborating with others to empower residents to make the most of these exceptional amenities and help Dublin thrive.

What knowledge do you have of the City-owned community facilities in Dublin, such as the Dublin Senior Center, Shannon Community Center, or The Wave? Have you or a family member rented facilities with the City of Dublin? Parks and recreational services play a major role in the development of a successful city. They hold a meaningful place in every resident’s heart -- for children, these services provide a place to bring out their excitement and energy through the playgrounds and play structures, and for others, these services allow people to address cultural needs through theatres, stages, and museums, and for some, parks nurture the natural environment and provide public places for people to interact. Our parks and recreational services embody us as a city because they foster unity and a sense of belonging, where people of all ages can communicate, athletes can train, artists can perform and showcase, and residents can exercise.

Dublin boasts exactly twenty parks, most of which showcase art from local artists. We also feature many bike trails, such as the popular Iron Horse Trail, and bike lanes throughout almost all of Dublin to promote exercise. Recently, Dublin introduced the Parks Passport Challenge, which encourages park-goers of all ages to travel around Dublin and locate Glen the Guide, an icon who travels around Dublin to play, meet new people, and enjoy nature.

Dublin fosters a sense of community by oﬀering many recreational facilities for special events to allow people to come together and create new connections. Some of my favorite events include Ghosts of Dublin, the weekly Farmers Markets, Splatter, and the Summer Concerts! Some other events include the St. Patrick’s Day Festivities, everyone’s favorite, the Spring Eggstravaganza, and the Beneﬁt Concert.

There are numerous recreational activities available for youth, adults, and seniors alike. The Wave features opportunities to exercise, spend time with friends, and feel a rush of adrenaline while speeding down the waterslides. Something that makes Dublin unique from other cities is its emphasis on public art programs -- it’s something that brings me a little spark of joy every time I drive to school or the grocery store. A quick drive around Dublin is more than enough to draw attention to the brightly-painted utility boxes (the popcorn one is my favorite!), and Dublin recently launched another public art project consisting of patio art chairs. One of my close friends is actually painting one of the chairs and I’m super excited to see these placed around Dublin soon.

Overall, the purpose of the Parks and Services Commission is to encourage healthy lifestyles, preserve Dublin’s heritage, provide opportunities for recreational experiences, and strengthen the community’s overall image.

How can the City provide better equity and inclusion to all persons that use our parks, trails, and facilities, and access our programs?
Providing better equity and inclusion in Dublin city parks, trails, facilities, and programs requires a multi-faceted approach that ensures accessibility, representation, and fairness for all residents, regardless of background, ability, or socio-economic status. Here are some strategies I propose the following:

1. Seamless Accessibility
ADA Compliance and Beyond: Make sure all parks, trails, and recreational facilities are fully accessible to individuals with disabilities. This includes accessible entrances, restrooms, seating areas, and recreational equipment. Additionally, creating sensory-friendly spaces for individuals with autism or other sensory needs could make parks more inclusive.

Improve Connectivity: Ensure that parks and recreational facilities are easily accessible by public transportation, bike lanes, and pedestrian pathways. This reduces barriers for people who may not have private transportation.

2. Inclusive Programming
Diverse Program Oﬀerings: Oﬀer a variety of programs that reﬂect the interests and needs of all community members, including those from diﬀerent cultural, linguistic, and socio-economic backgrounds. This might include language-speciﬁc programs, cultural events, or activities that cater to diﬀerent age groups, abilities, and backgrounds.

3. Community Engagement and Input
Regular Surveys and Listening Sessions: Engage the community by conducting surveys or holding listening sessions to understand the diverse needs and preferences of diﬀerent groups. Ensure that the voices of underserved communities are heard in the decision-making process.

Advisory Committees and Representation: Create advisory boards that represent a diverse cross-section of the community, including racial, ethnic, and economic diversity, as well as individuals with disabilities. This can help ensure that policies and programs reﬂect the needs of all residents.

4. Cultural Competency and Sensitivity
Cultural Celebrations and Events: Host events and activities that celebrate the diversity of the community, such as cultural festivals, heritage months, and art exhibitions. These events not only promote inclusivity but also foster mutual understanding and respect.

5. Safety and Respect
Safe and Welcoming Spaces: Create safe spaces for all individuals, especially for marginalized groups. Ensuring that all users feel safe— whether they are children, seniors, people of color, or individuals from diﬀerent backgrounds—is essential to fostering inclusivity.

Implementing anti-discrimination policies and ensuring they are enforced is an important step.

Community Partnerships: Collaborate with local organizations that serve diverse populations, such as immigrant or refugee groups, LGBTQ+ organizations, or organizations focused on people with disabilities. 548

6. Equitable Distribution of Resources
Equitable Maintenance and Upkeep: Ensure that all parks, trails, and facilities receive equal attention in terms of maintenance, safety, and accessibility, regardless of the neighborhood they are in. Parks in more aﬄuent areas should not receive better upkeep than those in lower-income or historically marginalized areas.

7. Environmental Justice
Sustainable and Inclusive Design: When designing or redeveloping parks and facilities, incorporate sustainability practices that also beneﬁt marginalized communities. This includes ensuring green spaces are accessible and usable for all residents, especially in neighborhoods aﬀected by environmental challenges like pollution or lack of green space.

By adopting these strategies, the city of Dublin can foster an environment where everyone feels that the parks, trails, and facilities are truly "theirs"—a shared space for recreation, growth, and community-building. Equity and inclusion in recreational spaces not only enriches the lives of individuals but also strengthens the fabric of the entire community. 549

Application Questions
What knowledge do you have of the programs offered through the Parks and Community Services Department? Have you or a family member participated in a program sponsored by the Department? As a Dublin resident of over 10 years and a Parks and Community Services Commissioner for the last 4, I have learned so much about the programs and park infrastructure that Dublin has to oﬀer. Over the years my family has participated in many programs including youth sports like the junior warriors. As my children have aged, our participation has changed but continued. My favorite thing at the moment is lap swim at the wave and our signature events like Splatter and the St. Patrick's festival. I have also been excited to see one of my sons continue his participation with Junior Warriors, not as a player but as a volunteer score keeper. He is gaining valuable experience while having a great time meeting some of the younger city staﬀ members. In addition to our personal experiences with all of the great programs here in Dublin, I am lucky enough to be continually updated and educated by the staﬀ during our commission meetings. The quarterly reports and frequent updates from the Wave have kept me current on the programs that we oﬀer and how they are being accepted by the community. Additionally, I have been attending the Senior Center Advisory committee meetings as a liaison for the Parks Commission. The Senior Center is another great source of programming and services that I do not have a lot of personal experience with and attending these meetings has been a great way to increase my knowledge of programs for seniors and their caregivers.

How do you feel about user fees for recreation programs and park/facility reservations? Program and rental fees are always a source of discussion and sometimes frustration with the community. I’ve been through the review process for the master fee schedule and understand the philosophy and requirements that the staﬀ uses to develop the fees. It’s important for the commission to discuss the fees and how they balance the city costs and the public need. In general I think we have done a great job creating programs where the fee is not a major barrier for participation while at the same time maintaining the long term sustainability of the department.

How do you feel about making a decision for the overall good of the community but unpopular with neighbors, residents, or organizations?
It is almost unavoidable within a community as large and diverse as Dublin that decisions will have to be made that are unpopular with some of the members of the community. That’s why it is important for the Parks and Community services department to continue to maintain the master plan. If we are diligent about updating the master plan and continually seeking input from the community we will make decisions that will be to the overall beneﬁt to the community. Often, once people realize that our decisions are typically made with a lot of feedback in mind and are part of a larger plan, they are more willing to accept them.

What is the most important contribution you can make as a member of the Parks and Community Services Commission? For the last four years I have done my best to listen and learn as much as I can about our parks and services. I have learned so much from both the staﬀ and the community about what’s important and how we plan to provide for the community. Going forward, I would like to translate this knowledge and understanding into actionable feedback for the staﬀ to help them improve and make the best possible choices for our community. Our city staﬀ does such an amazing job and I am looking forward to being a partner in their success.

Why are you interested in serving on the Parks and Community Services Commission? I have been involved with several projects for the last few years and I want to follow through on these to make them as great as possible.

These projects include the Dublin Arts Center, Forest Park and the Wallis Ranch Community park. Of course there are some exciting new projects coming up that I look forward to diving in on as well including the Francis Ranch parks.

Additionally, I think Dublin is a great place to live. That doesn't happen by accident. It's takes a lot of hard work and commitment from the community. I see my position on this committee as a great way to help maintain the city as a wonderful place as it's continues to grow.

What knowledge do you have of the City-owned community facilities in Dublin, such as the Dublin Senior Center, Shannon Community Center, or The Wave? Have you or a family member rented facilities with the City of Dublin? I've been fortunate enough to learn a lot of details about our facilities in Dublin over the last 4 years on the commission. Additionally, attending the Senior Center Advisory meetings have provided even more details about everything that is available and going on there as well. I am excited to see the Arts Center open and have our plans become available to the public. My family has never rented a facility in Dublin.

How can the City provide better equity and inclusion to all persons that use our parks, trails, and facilities, and access our programs?
Cost can be a barrier to equity and inclusion. The city should work to keep our costs low for programs so that the fees can remain in reach for all of our community. Additionally, I think we should consider adding programs that have a lower cost to start with. I have encouraged the staﬀ to consider adding things like ﬂag football or ultimate frisbee, which should have a lower cost structure. I think we have done a great job in and need to continue to listen to the community to make sure that we are adding things that everyone can use.

Walking trails and pickle ball are examples of things that we’ve added as a result of feedback to increase usage of our parks. 552

Application Questions
What knowledge do you have of the programs offered through the Parks and Community Services Department? Have you or a family member participated in a program sponsored by the Department? The Parks and Community Services Department in Dublin oﬀers a wide range of programs designed to enrich the lives of residents, including recreational activities, youth and senior programs, ﬁtness classes, cultural events, and community celebrations. These programs aim to foster community engagement, promote health and wellness, and celebrate diversity. While I may not have personally participated in these programs, I am aware of their positive impact on the community and their role in creating opportunities for connection, recreation, and personal growth.

How do you feel about user fees for recreation programs and park/facility reservations? User fees for recreation programs and park or facility reservations can be a practical way to oﬀset costs and maintain high-quality services, provided they are fair and accessible. It’s important that fees are structured to balance aﬀordability with the need to fund operations and improvements. Oﬀering sliding scales, discounts for low-income families, and free or low-cost options for essential programs ensures inclusivity while allowing the City to sustain its oﬀerings. Transparency in how fees are set and used is also crucial to gaining community trust and support.

How do you feel about making a decision for the overall good of the community but unpopular with neighbors, residents, or organizations?
I believe that making decisions for the overall good of the community, even when unpopular, is a vital responsibility of public service. While such decisions may face opposition, it is important to prioritize long-term beneﬁts and equity for the broader community. I would approach these situations by actively listening to concerns, providing clear and transparent reasoning, and seeking ways to address speciﬁc issues where possible. This approach fosters understanding and trust, even when consensus cannot be achieved.

What is the most important contribution you can make as a member of the Parks and Community Services Commission? As a member of the Parks and Community Services Commission, my most important contribution would be to advocate for accessible, inclusive, and sustainable programs that enhance the well-being of all residents. I would focus on ensuring that parks and community spaces are welcoming, safe, and equitably accessible to diverse populations. Additionally, I would prioritize promoting environmental stewardship and ensuring that recreation programs meet the evolving needs of the community. By fostering collaboration with local organizations and engaging with residents, I aim to help shape policies and initiatives that enrich community life and create lasting positive impacts.

Why are you interested in serving on the Parks and Community Services Commission?

Parks and community services play a crucial role in fostering social connection, promoting health and wellness, and providing opportunities for personal growth. I believe in the importance of accessible, inclusive, and sustainable spaces that serve the diverse needs of the community. Serving on the Commission would allow me to contribute to thoughtful, long-term planning that supports both current and future generations in Dublin.

In what organizations are you currently a member? Please list.

Currently, I am a member of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS).

My involvement primarily focuses on community-driven projects, cultural exchange, and enhancing local engagement through artistic and scientiﬁc initiatives.

What knowledge do you have of the City-owned community facilities in Dublin, such as the Dublin Senior Center, Shannon Community Center, or The Wave? Have you or a family member rented facilities with the City of Dublin? I am familiar with several City-owned community facilities in Dublin, including the Dublin Senior Center, Shannon Community Center, and The Wave. These venues oﬀer a range of programs and services that support residents of all ages, from wellness and social activities at the Senior Center, to educational and recreational opportunities at Shannon, and ﬁtness and aquatic programs at The Wave. While I haven’t personally rented these facilities, I recognize their important role in fostering community engagement and well-being. 554
How can the City provide better equity and inclusion to all persons that use our parks, trails, and facilities, and access our programs?
The City can promote equity and inclusion in parks, trails, and facilities by ensuring accessibility for all, oﬀering diverse and culturally relevant programs, and actively engaging underrepresented communities. This includes providing ADA-compliant features, creating aﬀordable access through sliding scales or scholarships, and ensuring that programs reﬂect the city's cultural diversity. By making these spaces and programs welcoming to everyone, the City can foster an inclusive environment where all residents can participate and feel valued.

Application Questions
What knowledge do you have of the programs offered through the Parks and Community Services Department? Have you or a family member participated in a program sponsored by the Department? I have participated in the People of the Parks Program. I also volunteered in spreading mulch or cleaning activities.

The park oﬀers various recreational and community building activities and also oﬀers spaces which can be reserved for events and other activities. I have participated in some of this individually, as a family and also through Hindu Swyamsevak Sangh (HSS) member.

How do you feel about user fees for recreation programs and park/facility reservations? The fees are reasonable and I have availed some of these facilities in the past.

How do you feel about making a decision for the overall good of the community but unpopular with neighbors, residents, or organizations?
The city has to look for the greater good. Most of the times it should align well with the residents expectations. However, there may be diﬀering view and I believe in engaging and understanding the diﬀerent points of views and ﬁnally going ahead with decision which beneﬁts the city and most of the residents. We may also need to consider regulations, environmental and ﬁnancial impacts also while making decisions and also let the stakeholders know of those constraints while making the decision. The more civic engagement we have better the ideas and their acceptance among the residents.

What is the most important contribution you can make as a member of the Parks and Community Services Commission? I can help with the following:

1. Advocate for the Needs of the Community - connect with residents in locality and also connect with them during events and enable civic engagement

2. Promote Access and Equity: Work to ensure that parks, recreational facilities, and programs are accessible to all residents, regardless of socioeconomic background, ability, or location.

3. Long term Planning and coordination for programs

4. Any technology / reporting / analysis related work
Why are you interested in serving on the Parks and Community Services Commission? Dublin is a growing and diverse city. I have young children and understand their need to have open spaces, recreational activities which are easy to participate-in. I also connect with elderly residents and visiting parents and understand their needs.

I feel this will provide me a great opportunity to continue to serve the community and address the various needs.

In what organizations are you currently a member? Please list.

I am a member of the following:

1. Art of Living Foundation - Yoga, Meditation, volunteering and giving back to society projetcs

2. Hindu Swyamsevak Sangh (HSS) - Hindu community get together and serve the community through sewa (volunteering/service) projects What knowledge do you have of the City-owned community facilities in Dublin, such as the Dublin Senior Center, Shannon Community Center, or The Wave? Have you or a family member rented facilities with the City of Dublin? I have rented facilities at Schaﬀer Ranch, Emerald Glenn and Wave for personal and organizational needs in the past. I have attended events and get togethers at most of facilities and what is available at these facilities For instance HSS had rented the Shannon Community Center for "Darshana" events. I have also interacted with police and ﬁre departments for educations and civic engagement activities. I also did the CERT training at the Alameda Cert in Dublin.

How can the City provide better equity and inclusion to all persons that use our parks, trails, and facilities, and access our programs?
The city can drive engagement through publicising the events and bringing members from various communities as volunteers. We can also encourage people to provide feedback and comments when they are using the facilities. 559
Analysis of the feedback and civic engagement will help bring equity. We can also have service projects which brings people from diﬀerent walks together. Engaging students in school and making them aware of the facilities and programs and encourage children to carry this message back home can also encourage awareness.

There could be some low cost programs for certain sections to enable their participation.

We can also raise funds for aﬀordable programs.

Application Questions
What knowledge do you have of the programs offered through the Parks and Community Services Department? Have you or a family member participated in a program sponsored by the Department? I’m familiar with many of the programs oﬀered by the Parks and Community Services Department, including youth sports leagues, swimming lessons, and various recreational activities. My two sons participated in the Dublin United Soccer League (DUSL), the Jr. Warriors basketball program, and swimming lessons, and some other programs.

I’ve also volunteered as a team mom for both the DUSL and Jr. Warriors, where I helped organize team activities, supported coaches, and fostered a positive environment for the players. Through these experiences, I’ve seen ﬁrsthand how these programs beneﬁt families and contribute to a strong sense of community.

How do you feel about user fees for recreation programs and park/facility reservations? I understand that user fees for recreation programs and park/facility reservations are often necessary to support the maintenance and sustainability of these services. Fees help ensure that facilities are well-kept and that a variety of programs can be oﬀered to the community.

That said, it's important to make sure that fees don’t become a barrier for residents, particularly those with ﬁnancial challenges. I believe the City should continue to provide fee assistance programs and oﬀer aﬀordable or free events to ensure that all residents, regardless of their ﬁnancial situation, can access recreational opportunities.

In short, while user fees are an important part of funding services, they should be balanced with eﬀorts to keep programs and facilities accessible to everyone in the community.

How do you feel about making a decision for the overall good of the community but unpopular with neighbors, residents, or organizations?
Making decisions for the overall good of the community, even when they’re unpopular with some residents or organizations, can be challenging but necessary. Leadership often involves prioritizing long-term beneﬁts over short-term discomfort. While it’s important to listen to concerns, we must also focus on the bigger picture: building a stronger, more sustainable community for everyone. It's crucial to communicate the reasons behind the decision clearly and involve stakeholders in the process where possible. By doing so, we can help people understand the broader vision and, ideally, foster support, even if the change is initially unpopular. Sometimes, the right decision isn’t always the most popular one, but it’s what ultimately beneﬁts the community as a whole.

What is the most important contribution you can make as a member of the Parks and Community Services Commission? The most important contribution I can make as a member of the Parks and Community Services Commission is ensuring that the needs of all residents, including pet owners, are considered in decisions about parks, programs, and services. As an empty nester and an active volunteer, I understand how important it is to have inclusive spaces that serve a variety of needs, from recreational programs for families to well-maintained parks for pet owners like myself.

I believe I can advocate for programs that are accessible to all age groups and lifestyles, while also promoting the long-term sustainability of our parks and community spaces. As a dog owner, I recognize the value of having safe, welcoming spaces where pets and their owners can enjoy the outdoors. By fostering communication and collaboration with the community, I would work to ensure our parks and facilities continue to serve as vibrant, inclusive spaces for everyone—whether you’re walking your dog, playing sports, or participating in community events.

Why are you interested in serving on the Parks and Community Services Commission? As an empty nester, I’m eager to give back to the community that has supported my family over the years. My children have greatly beneﬁted from the Parks and Community Services programs, and I’ve seen ﬁrsthand how these services enrich the lives of families, I believe my experience as a parent, volunteer, and community member will allow me to bring a thoughtful, balanced perspective to the Commission, and I’m excited about the opportunity to help shape the future of Dublin’s parks and community services.

In what organizations are you currently a member? Please list.

Although I am not currently a member of any formal organizations, I actively contribute to my community in various ways. For example, I organized a neighborhood gathering at SR Park to encourage socializing and strengthen connections among local residents. This event allowed neighbors to come together, build relationships, and foster a sense of community. and I have volunteered my time and skills to support Dublin Rotary Club, and other local groups in their initiatives, whether through 562
organizing events, assisting with community service projects, or helping with fundraising eﬀorts. I believe in giving back to the community and supporting organizations that make a positive impact, and I am always willing to lend a hand where needed.

The Dublin Senior Center is a vital resource for older adults, providing opportunities for social connection, ﬁtness, and lifelong learning. The Shannon Community Center serves as a versatile space for a range of activities, from recreational programs to cultural events and personal celebrations. The Wave is a popular destination for families and youth, oﬀering a variety of aqua ﬁtness and water recreational opportunities in a safe, welcoming environment.

While I have not personally rented a facility through the City, I am aware that these community spaces are frequently used for events, meetings, and special gatherings, helping to bring people together. The City's commitment to maintaining these venues and oﬀering accessible, well-designed spaces is a key part of supporting a vibrant, connected community.

How can the City provide better equity and inclusion to all persons that use our parks, trails, and facilities, and access our programs?
To improve equity and inclusion in our parks, trails, and programs, the City should focus on ensuring access for everyone, regardless of background or ability. This includes making sure all facilities are fully accessible, oﬀering aﬀordable or free programs for low-income families, and providing a variety of activities that reﬂect the community's diversity.

We can also engage underserved groups by actively seeking their input in program planning and decision-making. Working with local organizations and community leaders will help ensure we're meeting the needs of all residents.

We can also encourage some budding local artists of all discipline to showcase their art by charging a nominal fee on a monthly basis.

By promoting accessibility, diversity in programming, and better community outreach, we can create more inclusive spaces and opportunities for everyone

Application Questions
What knowledge do you have of the programs offered through the Parks and Community Services Department? Have you or a family member participated in a program sponsored by the Department? I am aware of the vast range of programs and services oﬀered by Park and community services such as Aquatics, Community Events & Festivals, Cultural & Special Events, Family & Preschool Programs, Heritage & Cultural Arts, Recreational Activities, Senior Programs and Sport. My kids have used the wave pool and i was part of cleaning team for Dublin Pride Parade How do you feel about user fees for recreation programs and park/facility reservations? Recreation program fees and park reservation charges are necessary to maintain facilities and oﬀset operational costs, ensuring high-quality services. However, if fees are set too high, they can limit access for low-income individuals and undermine the principle of public spaces being universally accessible. A more equitable approach would be to oﬀer discounts or subsidized rates for low-income users and residents.

Additionally, the department should maintain transparency by clearly communicating how the fees are reinvested into park improvements and program enhancements. This ensures that all users understand the value of the fees and how they contribute to the long-term sustainability and quality of public spaces.

How do you feel about making a decision for the overall good of the community but unpopular with neighbors, residents, or organizations?
Making decisions for the greater good of the community, even if unpopular, can be tough but necessary. It’s about balancing long-term beneﬁts with local concerns. While such decisions should be based on fairness and careful consideration, it’s crucial to address aﬀected parties’ concerns, communicate transparently to minimize negative impacts. Committee need to have a clear reasoning and a commitment to fairness, to take tough decision for the greater good of the community.

What is the most important contribution you can make as a member of the Parks and Community Services Commission? As a member of the Parks and Community Services Commission, my key contributions would be to advocate for the community, ensure decisions reﬂect diverse needs, and promote long-term sustainability. I will provide my informed input (to best of my knowledge) that strengthens the community and ensures parks and services remain valuable and accessible.

Why are you interested in serving on the Parks and Community Services Commission? I'm interested in serving on the Parks and Community Services Commission because I believe that parks and community services are vital to creating strong, connected communities. These spaces and programs play a key role in improving quality of life, fostering inclusivity, and providing opportunities for recreation, culture, and wellness.

I also see this as an opportunity to collaborate with residents, local organizations, and fellow commissioners to create positive, lasting impacts on the community's development and overall well-being.

Ultimately, I want to contribute to making our parks and community programs not just accessible, but vibrant, welcoming spaces for all.

What knowledge do you have of the City-owned community facilities in Dublin, such as the Dublin Senior Center, Shannon Community Center, or The Wave? Have you or a family member rented facilities with the City of Dublin? My family has enjoyed many visits to the water park at The Wave, where my kids especially loved the slides and splash zone. We've created lasting memories and had so much fun together.

How can the City provide better equity and inclusion to all persons that use our parks, trails, and facilities, and access our programs?
To improve equity and inclusion in the Park and Recreation Department and ensure that all persons have equal access to parks, trails, facilities, and programs, it's important to implement both policy-level changes and practical strategies that address the needs of diverse communities. Below are actionable steps that City of Dublin can take to create a more inclusive and equitable environment for all:
565

1.Evaluate Access: Assess barriers to access (e.g., proximity, accessibility, ﬁnancial constraints).

2.Engage Underrepresented Groups: Use surveys and focus groups to gather input from diverse populations.

3.Universal Design: Ensure parks, trails, and facilities are accessible to all, including people with disabilities.

4.Free or Discounted Admission: Provide free or discounted access to facilities during special events.

5.Multilingual Outreach: Provide materials in multiple languages and use bilingual staﬀ. 6 Cultural Events: Host multicultural celebrations and community events 566

What knowledge do you have of the programs offered through the Parks and Community Services Department? Have you or a family member participated in a program sponsored by the Department? Dublin supports a terriﬁc Farmer's Market and concert series my family and I enjoy. The department's St. Patrick's Day celebration and other events such as Splatter make Dublin a fun and exciting place to live. I especially appreciate how Dublin's Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony and other holiday events bring the city's residents together.

How do you feel about user fees for recreation programs and park/facility reservations? We want to encourage our residents to enjoy our parks, playgrounds, and open grass areas. User fees ensure our facilities can be maintained at the highest level for maximum enjoyment and future use. They should be used to cover basic cost of park and facility use.

However, if fees become too expensive residents may look to rent out community centers at the many condo/townhome facilities.

How do you feel about making a decision for the overall good of the community but unpopular with neighbors, residents, or organizations?
It is diﬃcult to have everyone see the vision of the future. Throughout history visionaries that have change our world were originally ridiculed for their plans. Many of us do not like change but later recognize it later as a beneﬁt. I believe in having a 5-10 year vision and am willing to put my name on it even when it is not popular. I do not seek this position for popularity. I seek it to become part of changing Dublin to better serve its residents into the future.

What is the most important contribution you can make as a member of the Parks and Community Services Commission? I live a very active life and enjoy each season, the weather and open ﬁelds Dublin has to oﬀer. I desire to bring outdoor programs to the city that will encourage residents of all ages to participate in. I would love to bring 3k and 5k challenge obstacle courses for Dublin's family to participate in. Have a bike trick competition where kids can show oﬀ how far they can pop a wheelie and navigate a timed bike course. I have a heart to keep families and our youth active.

Why are you interested in serving on the Parks and Community Services Commission? I love to be outside. Dublin receives a rushing breeze rolling over the hills and our weather is basically perfect all year round. We get tied up in our homes, work and busy lives and forget to enjoy being outside and coming together. It is our community events that create a sense of community by seeing the same faces over and over which may create friendships. The more we can get the community together the better oﬀ we will be.

In what organizations are you currently a member? Please list.

I have been a Rotary member for two years. I have participated in many community service and public outreach events. I am a part time assistant high school wrestling coach
What knowledge do you have of the City-owned community facilities in Dublin, such as the Dublin Senior Center, Shannon Community Center, or The Wave? Have you or a family member rented facilities with the City of Dublin? I have participated in a few senior resource fairs at the Dublin Senior Center to support our elderly community.

How can the City provide better equity and inclusion to all persons that use our parks, trails, and facilities, and access our programs?
Kids want to go to parks and parents take them but then parents sometimes get board. It could be fun to have diﬀerent types of food trucks at our most popular parks such as the Imagine Playground. The food trucks can visit our parks during the most popular. We can put trucks visits on the city calendar which could entice families to take a trip to the park to play and also enjoy some food.

Our youth love to post on social media. We can look to add features that make for a desirable backdrop for pictures such as a large beautiful ﬂower garden. Maybe this feature can be switched out every six months or so to keep it fresh and people coming back. 568
