EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will receive a presentation previewing Splatter 2025, taking place at Emerald Glen Park on September 13, 2025.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive the presentation.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for Splatter is included in the City’s annual operating budget. Expenditures are budgeted at $173,355 and include entertainment and talent fees, equipment rentals, and contracted services like sound and lighting. Revenues are anticipated at about $40,000, generated primarily by sponsorships, vendor booth fees, and carnival commission.
DESCRIPTION:
Splatter, Dublin’s annual end-of-summer event, will take place on Saturday, September 13, 2025, at Emerald Glen Park. This year's event will continue celebrating music, food, art, and culture, with an emphasis on multicultural performances and expressions. The following is an overview of what attendees can expect to experience.
Entertainment
Splatter will host live performances across three distinct stages, complemented by dynamic roaming acts dispersed throughout the event site. The Amphitheater Stage hosts an assorted lineup of multicultural presentations, while the Side Yard Stage will showcase the community's artistic talents in music and dance. Notable acts include Bollywood performances as well as Kung Fu demonstrations.
During the daytime, the Main Stage will feature The Sun Kings (a Beatles tribute), Cisco Kid (a lowrider tribute), and You Should Be Dancing (a Bee Gees tribute). As night falls, this stage 8
will transform into the heart of a “community dance party” headlined by Boombox Heroes.
Food, Beverage, and Shopping
Attendees will be able to sample various dishes and shop from an assortment of goods originating from diverse areas of the globe. In addition, the Rotary Club of Dublin will curate a selection of local craft beers and wines sourced from the Livermore Valley, further enriching the offerings available.
The Rose Lounge: VIP Experience
From 5:00 pm to 8:30 pm, the Rose Lounge will provide attendees with the ultimate VIP experience. This velvet-roped lounge will feature interactive food stations, elevated wine and beer tastings, unique roaming entertainment, picturesque moments, and a front-row seat to the 250-drone light show. Tickets can be purchased on the City’s website for $49 before the event, and at the event for $75.
The Arts
Throughout the event area, Splatter will continue its tradition of celebrating the arts by offering an array of activities suitable for all attendees, including two interactive art pieces. Also, in collaboration with the Dublin Arts Collective, an art exhibition titled "The High Life" will return to The Wave waterpark. This exhibition will feature an assemblage of fine artworks created by talented artists from local high schools.
Grand Finale
The night will conclude with a customized spectacle of 250 drones illuminating the sky after Boombox Heroes’ performance, which will be located on the northwest end of Emerald Glen Park.
Special Event App
The Special Event Application, “DublinCaEvent” will continue to be utilized this year, reflecting Dublin's ongoing commitment to enhancing public communication and minimizing waste. This app, downloadable on both Apple and Android devices, is a comprehensive hub for event information. It will include festival maps, sponsor and vendor directories, parking and transportation details, schedules, a link to purchase carnival tickets ahead of time, and entertainment lineups. Beyond just putting festival details at attendees' disposal, this app also plays a vital role in environmental conservation by eliminating the need for paper programs.

SUBJECT:
Amendment to the Agreement with the County of Alameda for Traffic Signal Maintenance, Street Lighting Maintenance, and Real Estate Services
Prepared by: Sai Midididdi, Senior Civil Engineer
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider amending the agreement with the County of Alameda for traffic signal maintenance, street lighting maintenance, and real estate services to extend the term through June 30, 2027 and to expand the list of maintenance locations.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving an Amendment to the Agreement Between the City of Dublin and the County of Alameda for Traffic Signal and Street Lighting Maintenance, and Real Estate Services.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Adequate funding ($453,000) for traffic signal maintenance was included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget, funded by the State Gas Tax ($200,000), Alameda County Vehicle Registration Fee – Measure F ($200,000), and the General Fund ($53,000). The Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget also includes $179,000 for street lighting maintenance funded by the Citywide Street Lighting District 1983-1 ($95,000) and the Dublin Ranch Street Lighting District 1999-1 ($84,000).
DESCRIPTION:
The City has contracted with Alameda County for traffic signal maintenance services since the City’s incorporation in 1982. Street lighting maintenance and real estate services were added in 1993. The current agreement with Alameda County was approved by City Council on June 16, 1998, and the City Council last amended this agreement on June 7, 2022.
25
Services Provided
Under the terms of the agreement, services are provided on both a routine and as-needed basis and charged on a time-and-materials basis. The City receives a detailed monthly bill showing the hours spent, costs, and materials used for each signalized intersection and for street lighting maintenance. There is no markup on materials.
The services typically provided under traffic signal maintenance include the following:
A quarterly visit to each signalized intersection for the purpose of routine maintenance, as outlined in the agreement.
24-hour callout service for non-routine activities such as complaint investigation, repairs, or Underground Service Alert (USA) marking.
Traffic signal repairs, either at the City’s request or in response to a condition noted by a County technician.
The services typically provided under street lighting maintenance are:
Routine maintenance or repair of streetlights, including public artwork lighting. Street lighting maintenance also includes 24-hour callout service for pole knockdowns or other situations that may create a safety concern.
In addition to the maintenance services listed above, Staff consults with County personnel for the review of signal and lighting construction plans. The County also provides as-needed signal and streetlight inspection services on construction projects. Staff uses County personnel to provide these services because of the level of expertise required and to identify deficiencies that might become future maintenance issues.
Real Estate Services typically include appraisals, negotiations, and legal documentation, such as deeds or rights of entry related to acquisitions for road improvements or other projects.
These services are billed on a time-and-materials basis and are utilized only as needed by the City for specific projects.
Performance Review
There are currently 96 traffic signals in the City with three additional signals planned to be added soon, and incorporated into the proposed amendment to the agreement. The three planned traffic signals are associated with current or future development projects and are at the following intersections:
Central Parkway and Park Place
Scarlett Drive and Horizon Parkway
Scarlett Drive and Houston Place
The proposed amendment also increases the number of locations of Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFB) to nine by adding four additional RRFB to the list of maintenance 26
locations. Three of the four RRFBs are associated with the recent Safe Routes to School capital improvement project. The City Council approved the construction contract for the fourth RRFB on July 15, 2025, which is on Regional Street in Downtown. The four added RRFB locations are at:
Central Parkway at Aspen Street
Amador Valley Boulevard at Burton Street
Grafton Street at Antone Way
Regional Street Mid-Block
Routine maintenance has continued according to a pre-set schedule, and the response time for callouts has not increased. The traffic signal and streetlight crew consist of a working supervisor and two technicians.
Exhibit A to the amendment (Attachment 2) identifies a specific maintenance schedule and services. The liability exposure related to traffic control devices is high, and it is important to note that the agreement indemnifies the City for any incidents which may occur related to the maintenance of traffic signals.
The City currently owns 5,155 streetlights. The City's performance standard for streetlight repairs provides that the repair will occur within five business days unless the repair is of an extraordinary nature. This standard is written into the agreement, and the response has typically been within a shorter time frame. A more typical response time is 48 hours from the submittal of the repair work order.
It should also be noted that the City’s maintenance needs have evolved over time, and Staff augment the services provided by Alameda County occasionally with additional contractors.
On October 1, 2024, the City Council approved agreements with Bear Electrical Solutions, LLC and DC Electric Group, for on-call electrical, traffic signal, streetlight support, and emergency repair services. The scope of services provided by these firms does not include regular quarterly and annual maintenance, however these private firms and other companies can provide such maintenance services.
Amended Agreement
Staff is seeking City Council approval of the amendment to the agreement with Alameda County to extend the term to June 30, 2027 and to expand the list of maintenance locations as described above. The services provided by Alameda County are necessary, and the costs are comparable with those of private sector companies based upon Staff’s review of rates.
During the extended contract term, it is Staff’s intention to complete a request for qualifications (RFQ) procurement process. The RFQ will solicit services for routine traffic signal and streetlight maintenance, as well as on-call emergency/accident and vandalism response, traffic signal communication support services, and battery energy storage system services. Staff will return to the City Council with the results of the RFQ process before June 30, 2027.

FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Ballot Designation Guidelines for Local Elections
Prepared by: Marsha Moore, MMC, City Clerk
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider approving Ballot Designation Guidelines that incorporate by reference all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and standards as they may be amended from time to time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving Ballot Designation Guidelines for Local Elections.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
DESCRIPTION:
Candidates for elected office can place a ballot designation with their name on the ballot. The ballot designation is optional and may appear under a candidate’s name on the ballot conveying the candidate’s occupation (CA Election Code §13107(a)). The ballot designations can have an impact on the voters’ perception of candidates, and the Elections Official (City Clerk) must determine that the ballot designation does not mislead the voters or violate the law.
In recent election cycles, specific questions have arisen regarding ballot designations and occasionally, the City Clerk has been required to make determinations about certain ballot designations.
Section 13107 of the Election Code is the controlling regulation for ballot designations and provides four categories which candidates may choose only from one of them. The categories are: (1) Title of Current Elective Office; (2) Incumbent; (3) Appointed Incumbent; and (4) Professions, Vocations, and Occupations. In addition to the Election Code, the Secretary of 85
State has adopted regulations related to ballot designations that are applicable only to state elected offices, and, while they are not directly applicable, the City Clerk, in consultation with the City Attorney, has considered those regulations when making determinations under Elections Code section 13107.
Staff believes that it is in the interest of the residents of Dublin to provide cohesive guidance to help prospective candidates navigate the process of running for office and answer common questions that arise when choosing a ballot designation. The proposed guidelines (Attachment 2) establish clear, City Council-adopted guidelines that will assist the City Clerk’s decision making when otherwise debatable ballot-designation questions arise in the future. These guidelines are based on Elections Code 13107 and California Code Regulations, Title 2, Sections 20710-20719.
The Resolution (Attachment 1) authorizes the City Clerk, with the concurrence of the City Attorney, to make administrative changes to the Guidelines under limited circumstances such as ensuring compliance with federal and state laws and regulations and making non- substantive editorial changes. All other changes would require City Council approval.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
None.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
The City Council Agenda was posted.

87 Ballot Designation Guidelines
City of Dublin
September 2025
Attachment 2
Exhibit A to the Resolution
88 1. Introduction and Purpose
Serving as an elected official is both a honor and a big responsibility. City government works best when honest and caring people represent the residents as decision makers on the City Council.
These Guidelines were prepared to help prospective candidates navigate initiation of the process and answer common questions, especially about choosing a ballot designation.
Please note that the information contained herein is not exhaustive and is not legal advice .
Prospective and active candidates are encouraged to review these materials thoroughly and then contact the Elections Official (City Clerk) and/or other agencies to obtain further information.
2. Initiation of Process
To initiate the candidacy process, interested candidates should contact the Elections Official by phone, email, or in writing, to make an appointment and receive applicable documents. Interested candidates may be asked to complete a Candidate Application Form, which includes information including, but not limited to, a contact email address and phone number so the media and the public may contact the candidate.
If a candidate cannot pick up nomination papers themselves, they may have someone with signed authorization receive the papers on their behalf. (CA Election Code §8020(b)).
3. Declaration of Candidacy Form
A Declaration of Candidacy form must be completed in the office of the Elections Official or signed and witnessed by a registered notary public and filed in the office of the Election Official with all other required documents by the end of the nomination p eriod. If using an out -of-state notary, a notarial certificate must be included. (CA Election Code §8040).
A candidate may authorize in writing to have a person receive and deliver the Declaration of Candidacy on their behalf . The candidate must indicate t hat he or she is aware the Declaration must be properly executed and filed with the Election Official by the end of the nomination period.
Candidates may not file a Declaration of Candidacy form for more than one term of office or for more than one municipal office at a time. (CA Election Code §8003(b), §10510(b), §10220.5).
4. Ballot designation
Immediately under the name of each candidate upon the ballot may appear an optional “ballot designation” conveying the candidate’s occupation. (CA Election Code §13107(a)).
a. Ballot Designations Strictly Regulated
Ballot designations are strictly regulated by Elections Code and companion regulations because the designation can have a significant impact on the voters’ perception of candidates appearing on the ballot. A candidate’s ballot designation is often the last piece of information, and sometimes 89 the only piece of information, about a candidate that is considered by a voter before casting their vote.
Determining that a candidate’s ballot designation would not mislead the voters or otherwise violate the law is a critical responsibility for the Elections Official. Even after being accepted by the Elections Official, ballot designations are subject to scrutiny by the media, the public, and opposing candidates and may be challenged in court.
Therefore, candidates are strongly encouraged to review the full text of the applicable code sections and contact the Elections Official with questions prior to selecting a proposed designation.
b. Ballot Designations are Optional
A ballot designation is optional, but if a candidate chooses a designation, then they must indicate this on the Declaration of Candidacy form. If a candidate chooses not to have a designation, they should write “NONE” on the Declaration of Candidacy form where it asks for the designation and sign their initials after the word “NONE.”
If a candidate chooses to have a designation, they must complete a Ballot Designation Worksheet.
If a candidate does not choose a designation, then the worksheet is not required. (CA Election Code §13107(a)).
c. Ballot designation worksheet
Any candidate wishing to submit a ballot designation must submit a Ballot Designation Worksheet, including supporting documentation justifying the use of the designation. The Ballot Designation Worksheet provides room to propose up to three (3) ballot designations, in order of preference, in the event the Elections Official deems a candidate’s first choice impermissible.
In the event a candidate fails to file a ballot designation worksheet at the time of filing nomination papers, or in the event the candidate proposes a designation that is not qualifying and does not resubmit a qualifying designation before the filing deadline, no designation will appear after the candidate’s name on the ballot.
Ballot Designation Worksheets, including any attachments, are public records as soon as they are submitted. (CA Election Code §13107.3).
d. Ballot designation categories
Section 13107 of Election Code1 is the controlling regulation for ballot designations and provides
1 It reads: “ . . . immediately under the name of each candidate, and not separated from the name by any line . . . may appear at the option of the candidate only one of the following designations:
(1) Words designating the elective city, county, district, state, or federal office which the candidate holds at the time of filing the nomination documents to which the candidate was elected by vote of the people. (2) The word “incumbent” if the candidate is a candidate for the same office which the candidate holds at 90 that candidates may choose a designation only from any one of the four (4) categories discussed below. Note that although they are not directly applicable, the City of Dublin will apply the regulations set forth in California Code Regulations, Title 2, Sections 20710–20719 when making qualification determinations, except to the extent that those regulations are inconsistent with these Guidelines or applicable law.
1. Title of Current Elective Office (EC 13107(a)(1))
If a candidate was voted into an elective office by the people and holds the office at the time they file their nomination papers, the candidate’s ballot designation may be the name of the elective office currently held, regardless of th e office sought. This type of designation is not subject to a word-count limit. For example, if a City Councilmember files nomination papers to run for Mayor, the candidate could choose the designation “City Councilmember ” or “Member of the City Council.”
The words designating the elective office must consist of the actual title of an elected office. For example, if a candidate is currently an elected City Council member who also happens to be the current Mayor Pro Tempore, the candidate may not submit the ballot designation Mayor Pro Tempore or Vice-Mayor, because these titles are not elected offices. ( CA Election Code §13107(a)(1)). However, such a designation could be submitted for consideration under section 13107(a)(3) as a principal profession, vocation, or occupation, discussed below in more detail.
2. Incumbent (EC 13107(a)(2))
The word “incumbent” can be used as a ballot designation if the candidate is a candidate for the same office which he or she holds at the time of filing the nomination papers and was elected to that office by a vote of the people.
The word “incumbent” may only be used as a noun, and only as part of a designation under CA Elections Code section 13107(a)(2) or 1307(a)(4) (“appointed incumbent” ). The word “incumbent” may not be used as an adjective and may not be used as par t of a designation submitted under CA Elections Code section 13107(a)(1) (elected title) or 13107(a)(3) ( principal professions).
the time of filing the no mination papers and was elected to that office by a vote of the people. A candidate shall not use the word “incumbent” if the candidate was elected to their office in an at -large election and is a candidate in a district- based election.
(3) No more than three wor ds designating either the current principal professions, vocations, or occupations of the candidate, or the princi pal professions, vocations, or occupations of the candidate during the calendar year immediately preceding the filing of nomination documents. (4) The phrase “appointed incumbent” if the candidate holds an office by virtue of appointment, and the candidate is a candidate for election to the same office, or, if the candidate is a candidate for election to the same office or to some other office, the word “appointed” and the title of the office. In either instance, the candidate may not use the unmodified word “incumbent” or any words designating the office unmodified by the word “appointed.” However, the phrase “appointed incumbent” shall not be requir ed of a candidate who seeks reelection to an office which the candidate holds and to which the candidate was appointed, as a nominated candidate, in lieu of an election, pursuant to Sections 5326 and 5328 of the Education Code or Section 7228, 7423, 7673, 10229, or 10515 of this code. 91 3. Appointed Incumbent (EC 13107(a)(4)
If a candidate was appointed to an elective office , holds that office at the time they file their nomination papers, and seeks election to the same office, the candidate may use the phrase “appointed incumbent” or the word “ appointed” in conjunction with the name of the office currently held. For example, if a City Councilmember was appointed to the Council and now wishes to run for election to the same office, the candidate could choose the designation “appointed incumbent” or “ appointed city councilmember.” Unlike a n incumbent elected official, the candidate may not use the word “incumbent” without the modifier “appointed.” This type of designation is not subject to a word count limit.
4. Professions, Vocations and Occupations
Any candidate, including incumbents, may choose a ballot designation consisting of no more than three (3) words designating the candidate's principal profession(s), vocation(s), or occupation(s).
The designation must:
Be factually accurate.
Consist of “professions,” “vocations,” and/or “occupations,” as defined by law. Consist of “principal” professions, vocations, and/or occupations, as defined by the law. Not be confusing or misleading to a reasonable voter. Must not exceed three words.
A candidate may engage in multiple principal professions, vocations, or occupations and may propose a ballot designation that includes multiple principal professions, vocations or occupations.
In such cases, no more than a total of three words can be used and each proposed title will be separately evaluated for qualification and should be separated by a slash. For example, a potentially acceptable designation could be “Legislator/Rancher/Physician.”
i. Combining Elected Offices with Professional Designations Although one could argue that elected offices in the City are neither “primary” nor “professions, vocations, or occupations,” the City of Dublin permits ballot designations that include both an elected office the candidate holds and another profession, voc ation, or occupation. Relevant examples dating back to 2012 include:
Vice Mayor/Entrepreneur
Mayor/Teacher
Councilmember/Engineer
Councilmember/Law Enforcement
Educator/Incumbent
A candidate may submit a ballot designation that combines their elected office with other professions, vocations, or occupations but must submit such combined designation for evaluation pursuant to the regulations applied to such professions, vocations, and occupations, including the 92 three-word limit.
5. Other Specific Restrictions
a. Community V olunteer: The Elections Official will reject a designation of that uses “community volunteer” unless it meets the following conditions:
• The person engages in an activity or performs a service for or on behalf of, without profiting monetarily, one or more of the following:
o A charitable, educational, or religious organization as defined by the United States Internal Revenue Code §501(c)(3); or
o A government agency; or
o An educational institution.
(See Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 2, § 20714.5.)
• The community volunteer activities constitute the candidate’s principal profession, vocation, or occupation and constitute substantial involvement of the candidate’s time and effort such that the activity or service is the sole, primary, main, or leading professional, vocational, or occupational endeavor of the candidate within the definition of those terms provided above. (See Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 2, § 20714.5). • The candidate must not be engaged concurrently in another principal profession, vocation, or occupation.
• The candidate may not use the designation of “community volunteer” in combination with any other principal profession, vocation, or occupation.
b. Retired: Use of the word “retired” in a ballot designation is limited for use by individuals who have permanently given up their principal profession, vocation, or occupation. The word “retired” may not be abbreviated and must be the first word used in the ballot designation.
• A candidate may not use the word “retired” in their ballot designation if they possess a more recent, intervening principal profession, vocation, or occupation;
• Prior to retiring from their principal profession, vocation or occupation, the candidate must have worked in such profession, vocation or occupation for more than 5 years;
• The candidate must be collecting, or eligible to collect, retirement benefits, providing principal source of income;
• The candidate must have reached at least the age of 55 years; • The candidate must. Have voluntarily left their last professional, vocational, or occupational position.
93 For more information on these and other specific restrictions please reference Title 2, Division 7, Chapter 7 of the California Code of Regulations , specifically sections 20 714-20716 and CA Elections Code section 13107.
6. Unacceptable Ballot Designations
In all cases, the Elections Official will not accept the following designations:
a. Any designation that would mislead the voters.
b. Any designations suggesting an evaluation (laudatory or derogatory) of a candidate’s qualifications, honestly, integrity, leadership ability or character.
Impermissible examples: “senior,” “emeritus,” “specialist,” “leading,” “expert,” “prominent,” “famous,” “respected,” “dishonest,” “corrupt,” or “lazy.”
c. Any designation that abbreviates the word “retired” or places it following a word or words that it modifies.
Impermissible examples: “Ret. Army General,” “Major USAF, Retired,” “City Attorney, Retired.”
d. Uses a word or prefix such as “former” or “ex.”
Impermissible words or prefixes : “ex-,” “ former,” “ past,” and “erstwhile.” Impermissible designations include “Ex-Senator” and “Former Educator.”
e. Any designation that uses the name of any political party.
f. Any word or words referring to a racial, religious, or ethnic group.
i. Any ballot designation which expressly contains or implies any ethnic or racial slurs or ethnically or racially derogatory language are unacceptable.
ii. Candidates who are members of th e clergy may not refer to their specific denomination, but may use their generic clerical title (e.g., “Rabbi,” “Minister,” “Priest,” “Bishop,” “Monk,” “Nun,” “Imam,” etc.)
g. Refers to any activity prohibited by law.
h. Uses a copyrighted term rather than a common/colloquial description.
Ex: “realtor®” “versus real estate agent”
Note that the list and examples above are not exhaustive. Please see Title 2, Division 7, Chapter 7 of the California Code of Regulations, specifically section 20716 for complete information. 94 If the Elections Official finds a proposed ballot designation to be impermissible, the Elections Official should notify the candidate by registered or certified mail. The candidate must, within three working days from the date of receipt of notice, appear before the Elections Official and provide an alternate designation. In the event the candidate fails to provide an alternate designation within three days, no designation can appear after the candidate's name on the ballot. (CA Election Code §13107(f)).
7. Challenging or Changing Ballot Designations
Even if a ballot designation is accepted by the Elections Official, an opposing candidate or other member of the public may challenge the designation in court. These challenges are typically made on the grounds that the designation contains an error or omission or otherwise violates the law. (CA Election Code §13314).
The ballot designation given by a candidate may not be changed by the candidate after the deadline for filing nomination papers, except as specially requested by the Elections Official under the circumstances above.

Agenda Item 8.2
DATE: September 2, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Report on Red Light Camera Programs
Prepared by: Jordan Foss, Senior Management Analyst
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will review a report on the feasibility of implementing a red light camera program as a tool to enhance public safety, including potential benefits and drawbacks of such a program. The report is the result of Staff’s review of programs in eight California cities and evaluation of whether similar needs exist locally.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive the report and provide direction.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact associated with receiving the report. Analysis of specific fiscal impacts will be necessary if the City Council directs Staff to pursue a red light camera program.
DESCRIPTION:
Background
On April 1, 2025, the City Council directed Staff to bring back a report on the feasibility of implementing a red light camera program as a tool to enhance public safety. As part of this effort, the City Council requested that the report also include an evaluation of the potential benefits and drawbacks of such a program.
Red Light Cameras
Red light cameras are traffic enforcement systems that use a combination of sensors and cameras to detect and record vehicles that enter an intersection after the traffic signal has turned red. There are three types of pole-mounted red light camera systems as identified in Table 1.
100
Table 1: Pole Mounted Red Light Camera Systems
Type Detection Method
Inductive Loop-Based In-pavement sensors detect vehicles crossing stop line after red; camera mounted on nearby pole records violation.
Radar-Based Radar unit mounted on traffic pole tracks vehicle approach and entry into intersection.
Video/Computer
Vision-Based
Camera with built-in video analytics detects vehicles and violations directly from pole.
Red light cameras are typically installed at signalized intersections with a documented history of red light violations or collisions. The technology is designed to monitor specific “approaches” to an intersection, meaning each direction of travel (northbound, southbound, eastbound, or westbound) that enters the intersection. For example, a four-way intersection may have up to four monitored approaches, but research shows that agencies often select only one or two approaches based on traffic volume, collision patterns, or community concerns. Each monitored approach is treated as a separate enforcement location.
Red Light Camera – Efficacy
Research indicates that red light camera enforcement is associated with meaningful reductions in fatal crashes and collisions in jurisdictions with identified problems. Nationwide studies show that after activation of camera programs, fatal crashes due to red-light violations dropped by approximately 21 percent, and all fatal crashes at signalized intersections declined by 14 percent, compared to what would have been expected without cameras1. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), violation rates typically decline 30-50% within the first year of implementation.
Despite these safety benefits, certain studies have observed a rise in rear-end collisions. A Federal Highway Administration study (2005) found a 10-15% rise in rear-end collisions at camera-equipped intersections, likely due to abrupt stopping by drivers trying to avoid citations2. These crashes tend to be less severe and point to the need for engineering strategies, such as appropriate yellow light intervals, to maximize overall safety.
Red Light Camera – Citation Fines and Fees
In California, citation fines are set by the California Vehicle Code (CVC) and fines are fixed; however, the State and counties assess additional fees. For example, the base citation fine for making an illegal right turn at a red light per the CVC is $35, and the base citation fine for going through a solid or flashing red light is $100. However, fees can range from $100-$500 depending on the jurisdiction and severity of the infraction. Table 2 below provides a citation cost breakdown, using Alameda County as an example.

Red Light Camera - Operation
Red light camera programs are mostly operated through vendor contracts that include installation, maintenance, and back-office processing services. Attachment 1 shows a summary of the different vendors, average monthly cost per monitored approach, typical installation costs, different services provided, and other notes. In summary, Verra Mobility (aka Redflex) is the largest and most frequently used vendor in California, with Modaxo being the other large vendor in the state. Both vendors provide similar services, such as enforcement, monitoring, maintenance, and citation processing.
City Findings
Analysis of Comparable Cities
Staff reviewed red light camera programs in various California jurisdictions to understand how they operate and identify the financial impacts. This research included cities that currently operate such programs, as well as those that have discontinued them. Data was collected from staff reports, vendor contracts, and publicly available sources, offering information on different program structures, operations, and effectiveness. These findings provide context for evaluating the feasibility and key considerations of implementing a red light camera program in Dublin.
Attachment 2 includes a matrix summarizing the eight cities that were compared. The comparison shows that California cities have varied experiences with red light camera programs, with some (e.g., Fremont, Citrus Heights, and Napa) continuing operations under 102
vendor contracts, while others (e.g., Los Angeles, El Cajon) discontinued due to concerns about effectiveness, safety, or costs. Contract structures and program outcomes differ widely, with annual costs ranging from around $375,000 to nearly $900,000.
Program Costs and Revenues. Staff focused on cities located in the Bay Area to better understand cost structures in the local service area. In these cities, vendor contracts for red light enforcement generally range between $4,000 and $6,000 per monitored approach per month. These costs generally include equipment, installation, maintenance, and vendor review of violations, and are usually fixed under multi-year agreements.
Vendor contracts, though, do not reflect the full cost of operating a program. Cities also allocate staff resources for administration and oversight, along with one-time startup expenses such as public outreach, signage, and intersection engineering adjustments. Based on comparable cities, sworn officers, non-sworn personnel, or community services officers are often assigned to citation review, court appearances, and program management, representing an average of 0.50 full-time equivalent (FTE), depending on citation volume and number of approaches in each jurisdiction.
The estimated total citation (fine and fees) for a red light violation is $490. The issuing jurisdiction receives the base citation fine (either $35 or $100 depending on the type of violation) and the remaining fees are distributed to county and State funds. The funding received from these citations is used to offset program expenditures, however, it should be noted that revenue generation is dependent upon the number of citations, while the costs are generally fixed. Thus, sometimes the revenues fall short of full cost recovery because of the associated staff time involved, and sometimes agencies achieve full cost recovery and even generate additional revenues that can be used for other traffic safety improvements.
City of Napa Example. To provide an example of total program costs, Staff analyzed the City of Napa’s red light camera program and used actual contract costs and estimated staffing and startup costs. The City of Napa operates automated red light cameras at four intersections, with a total of 16 monitored approaches. The cameras were installed as a result of data from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) showing that Napa ranked 9th highest (in 2020) out of 105 comparable jurisdictions in total fatal and injury crashes, with 90 percent of collisions taking place at intersections. Using the Napa example, the following cost projections illustrate the estimated cost of operating a red light camera program in 2025.
Startup Costs – Prior to the launch of their current program in December 2024, Napa conducted community outreach, built a program website, and undertook engineering services on existing traffic signals, such as signal timing, signage installation, and review of traffic signal structure integrity. Startup costs are estimated at up to $75,000 per intersection.
The cost is estimated based on projections for equipment, installation, integration, staff time, and setup fees. The total estimated startup cost for the four monitored intersections in Napa is up to $300,000.
Ongoing Costs – The City of Napa has ongoing costs associated with their program that are estimated to be more than $1 million annually as shown in Table 3. 103
Contracted services costs are fixed, regardless of the number of citations issued.
Table 3: City of Napa Annual Ongoing Costs
Ongoing Cost Type Annual Amount
Contract with Modaxo (4 intersections/16 approaches) $882,240 Police Department Staffing
Community Services Officer (1 FTE)
Patrol Officer (0.25 FTE)
~$160,000
Total Estimated Annual Cost $1,042,240
Citation Fines and Fees – In the City of Napa, citations are $445 for running a red light or turning left on a red arrow, $217 for failing to stop for a red light then turning right, and $363 for turning right on a red light where there is a no right on red sign posted. As the program was just initiated in December 2024, revenue data from citations is not currently available. However, a 2023 Staff Report indicated that Napa staff estimated full cost recovery as well as the generation of additional revenue to be available for traffic safety programs and traffic enforcement equipment related to reducing collisions.
Benefits and Drawbacks
Potential Benefits. Red light camera programs have been linked to measurable safety and operational improvements, including:
Violation and Collision Reductions
o Traffic violations and fatalities may see a decrease in communities with identified problems.
Continuous Enforcement
o Cameras operate 24/7, supplementing rather than replacing sworn officer presence.
Objective Evidence
o Systems capture photographic and video records that support citation review and court hearings.
Potential Disadvantages. Red light camera programs present several challenges, including:
Increased Rear-End Collisions
o Studies show that red light cameras can be associated with an increase in rear-end collisions due to sudden braking to avoid a fine. Public Perception Concerns
o According to a 2012 IIHS study3, some community members may question the fairness of automated enforcement or perceive it primarily as a revenue-generating tool.
Variable Financial Performance
o Citation revenue is often higher during early implementation but may decline as compliance improves, creating inconsistencies in program

funding over time.
Operational and Administrative Demands
o Programs require ongoing oversight by law enforcement personnel for citation review, processing, and court appearances, contributing to annual expenditures that must be sustained.
Needs Assessment
In assessing whether there is a need for red light cameras in Dublin, Staff looked at Dublin’s OTS ranking among similar jurisdictions, actual collision data, and the City’s Local Roadway Safety Plan.
OTS Ranking and Data. In 2022, Dublin ranked 85th highest out of 104 comparable jurisdictions in total fatal and injury crashes according to OTS, with 82 percent of collisions taking place at intersections (signalized and non-signalized) over a five-year period. Dublin Police Services looked at overall crash data for select signalized intersections along Dublin Boulevard between July 1, 2020 and July 1, 2025, and identified the number that were specifically related to red light violations. The results, shown in Table 4, indicate that these types of collisions are relatively infrequent. In addition, it is also important to note that, over the past five years, there have not been any fatal crashes in Dublin that were attributed to red light violations.

For additional reference, Table 5 provides a comparison of intersection-related collisions (signalized and unsignalized) for a few Alameda County cities, as reported in the Transportation Injury Mapping System data from UC Berkeley for the most recent five-year period (2020 to 2024). These do not specify whether the collisions involved a red light violation, but the data provides more context for the discussion. Of the total number of collisions at intersections in Dublin, under half resulted in a broadside accident (which might typically occur if speeding through a red light or a stop sign).

Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP). An LRSP uses historical collision data and an understanding of local context to assess existing roadway safety conditions, identify areas for improvement, and provide recommended actions with an implementation plan. Essentially, an LRSP creates a data-driven decision-making framework to reduce the number of fatal and severe injury collisions on local roadways. The recommendations included in the plan are both site-specific as well as systemic safety improvements that can be applied agencywide.
Dublin’s LRSP, adopted by the City Council in January 2023, identified five emphasis areas that deserve special focus and priority and help guide the LRSP’s recommended actions and implementation strategies. Emphasis areas represent crash factors whose reduction would have the greatest overall effect on traffic safety. In Dublin’s LRSP, the emphasis areas are pedestrian collisions, nighttime safety, aging drivers (65 and older), signalized arterial/local intersections, and aggressive and impaired driving. The LRSP collision analysis indicates that intersections, particularly signalized ones, account for a larger share of crashes in Dublin compared to roadway segment collisions. Rear-end and broadside crashes are the most frequent, with contributing factors such as unsafe speed, failure to yield, and traffic signal or sign-related violations.
Based on the analysis of the type and frequency of intersection collisions (not just for red light violations), Dublin’s LRSP does not identify automated enforcement (i.e., red light cameras) as a recommended strategy. Instead, it emphasizes engineering and signal timing improvements, such as leading pedestrian intervals, bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements, and visibility enhancements, to address the prevailing collision patterns.
Conclusion
In looking at the data, Staff does not believe that red light cameras are currently warranted, however, there are measures identified in the Local Roadway Safety Plan that deserve a focus, particularly in priority locations such as the signalized intersection along the Village Parkway corridor. The next LRSP will be completed in 2028, with new data, focus areas, and implementation strategies.
In addition, Staff will continue to monitor existing conditions and use the Traffic Safety Committee, comprising representatives from Dublin Police Services’ traffic unit, Public Works’ transportation staff, and City maintenance staff, to discuss and resolve potential traffic safety issues around the City.

STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL
Agenda Item 8.3
DATE: September 2, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Temporary Non-Commercial Signs Enforcement
Prepared by: Amy Million, Assistant Director of Community Development, Marsha Moore, City Clerk, and Gregory Shreeve, Chief Building Official
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will receive a report on the City’s regulation of political campaign signs and potential amendments to strengthen the enforcement of those regulations. The City Council requested this Report under Item 9 at the November 5, 2024, Regular City Council Meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive the report and direct Staff to implement a sign retrieval fee, adjust the sign display time limit, and require a consent form for placement of signs on private property.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The financial impact of implementing the recommendations is anticipated to be minimal.
DESCRIPTION:
At the November 5, 2024 meeting, the City Council directed Staff to return with a report regarding the City’s regulation of political signs, along with suggestions to strengthen the enforcement of those regulations.
Background
The Dublin Municipal Code (DMC) classifies temporary political campaign signs as “Temporary Non-Commercial Signs”. Temporary Non-Commercial Signs are signs for short-term display that do not include a “Commercial Message,” such as signs that reference activities conducted by nonprofit organizations, clubs, groups, or associations, including political campaigns. These signs are exempt from a sign permit provided the responsible party has written permission from the property owner and they comply with the following Sign Regulations (DMC Section
8.84.140.K):
127
1. Be displayed for no more than 60 consecutive calendar days.
2. Be placed on private property.
3. Be no more than 16 square feet per side in area per individual sign and up to 80 square feet of maximum aggregate area per lot.
4. Not be placed within the public right-of-way or within 660 feet of and visible from the right-of-way of Interstate 580 or Interstate 680.
Staff actively seeks to educate political campaigns and encourage voluntary compliance with the Sign Regulations. For instance, Staff holds a pre-candidate workshop prior to the start of the nomination period and provides information about the Sign Regulations. Additionally, Staff holds individual appointments with candidates to receive nomination papers and again share information about the Sign Regulations.
Enforcement of the Sign Regulations occurs on both a proactive and reactive basis. Code Enforcement Officers regularly canvass the City for code violations and remove signs in the public right-of-way or those on private property that are in clear violation (e.g., too large).
Additionally, Staff is made aware of potential violations through citizen complaints received via SeeClickFix, phone call, or email. In a typical election year, Code Enforcement removes around 60 political signs from the public right-of-way. Last year, they collected two signs that were larger and of a higher quality design that a candidate may want back; all other signs collected were standard lawn signs. Code Enforcement documents the violation though the creation of a code enforcement case and then typically discards the signs. The time associated with removing illegal signs and the associated administrative tasks are handled through the normal work of the existing Code Enforcement Officers and does not cost the City additional funds. However, it does require the allocation of time that impacts other code enforcement activities during active campaign periods.
The DMC permits the issuance of administrative citations for violations of the Sign Regulations. However, it is often difficult to identify the individual responsible for a sign. While signs often identify the name of a candidate, organization, or event, the signs may be installed by third parties, such as supporters, volunteers, or opponents. As a result, the individual or entity identified on the sign may not always be responsible for its placement. Enforcement actions must be directed at the person or party in violation of the regulations. In short, this is very difficult to prove so it has not been used as an enforcement tool.
On September 1, 2020, the City Council received a report on the City’s regulation and enforcement practices pertaining to temporary political signs. At that time, the City Council directed Staff not to amend the DMC as it pertains to the Sign Regulations, and to discard signs that are removed from public property rather than storing them. The City Council further directed Staff to utilize the administrative citation process in cases involving repeat violations.
Analysis
For reference, Staff researched examples of regulations related to political signs in other cities.
The following is a selection of what nearby cities are doing in terms of enforcing regulations:
128
City Fine or Fee? Procedures
Pleasanton Fee for the expense of
removal and storage, not
to exceed $5, unless
unusual effort is required.
Signs are collected and notice is provided to the
responsible party. Signs are held for at least 20
days. Payment of the fee is required to retrieve
the sign, or the City will bill the party responsible
if no return of the sign is requested.
Walnut
Creek
$92.50 to retrieve sign,
based on City’s Fees and
Charges Schedule.
The City notifies the owner of the sign and
informs them of the procedure to retrieve the
sign. To retrieve the sign, the owner can pay the
fee. Signs not retrieved may be disposed of after
15 days.
Concord Storage fee of $30, as
determined by Master
Fees and Charges
Schedule.
Signs are collected and destroyed if not claimed
within 15 days. Any person claiming a sign
within the 15-day period is subject to a fee for
the cost of removal and storage. The Code also
allows penalties for violations of the section of
the code.
San Leandro Person responsible is
liable for the cost incurred
for removal of signs.
The City will give the responsible party a chance
to remove the sign first. The City also requires
the candidate/campaign to sign an agreement
that must be filed with the City Clerk two days
prior to installing signs.
The following Alameda County cities that responded to an inquiry do not have a fine or fee:
Livermore, Piedmont, Alameda, Hayward, and Union City. The City of Berkeley allows signs on public property, so they are not included in the comparison.
In addition, the following cities require the party responsible for the sign to obtain permission from the property owner before placing the sign on their property: Concord, San Leandro, Walnut Creek, Albany, Alameda, Piedmont, and Pleasanton. Most cities operate on a complaint basis and will contact the responsible party to obtain proof that permission was received or tell the property owner to remove their sign if permission was not received.
Policy Considerations
The information below is presented for discussion purposes. Any modifications to the regulation of Temporary Non-Commercial Signs would apply uniformly to all signs within this category.
Fines and Fees
As discussed above, the City would likely face challenges in linking the cited individual or entity to the specific sign violation. Therefore, the City may lack the legal basis to cite an individual or entity. Based on this, Staff does not recommend assessing fines to candidates/campaigns through the administrative citation process.
Alternatively, the City Council could consider implementing a fee to recover the costs associated with collecting and storing signs that are displayed on public property. Staff would 129
store signs that are collected from public property for 15 days. During that time, candidates could contact the City to retrieve their sign(s). The fee would be charged on a per sign basis to candidates that choose to recover their signs. Staff estimates an average cost of $25 per sign to perform this service.
Display Period
The current regulations limit the display for Temporary Non-Commercial Signs to a period of no more than 60 consecutive calendar days. However, this is difficult to track because these signs are exempt from permitting and Staff does not always know when they are first displayed. Staff recommends amending the Sign Regulations to include an additional requirement to limit the display to a maximum period of 60 consecutive calendar days and to remove the sign within seven days following the conclusion of the event, whichever occurs first.
Private Property Owner Authorization
As noted above, Temporary Non-Commercial Signs on private property do not require a sign permit but do require the property owner’s written permission. To further strengthen this requirement, Staff recommends creating an Owner Authorization Form for the responsible party to use to document the property owner’s written permission to display a sign on their property. If the City receives a complaint, Staff will contact the campaign and request a copy of the property owner’s written permission. The property owner would be responsible for removing signs from their property that are placed without their permission.
Other Improvements
In addition to implementing any direction provided by the City Council, Staff is already planning to enhance the educational materials provided to candidates and outreach activities conducted during campaign season. This includes the following:
Creating a Sign Placement Infographic: To further enhance proactive enforcement efforts, Staff will update informational materials and graphics to clearly explain the permitted placement of signs, especially where City right-of-way is adjacent to private property.
Conducting Additional Outreach: Staff will contact the Alameda County Registrar of Voters Office and Secretary of State to obtain a list of non-City candidates and ballot measure committees that overlap with the City limits that may be placing signs within the City.
Information about the City’s Sign Regulations will also be sent to those candidates and committees.
Next Steps
Based on the City Council’s direction, Staff will prepare the appropriate regulations and policies to implement that direction. Any amendments to the Sign Regulations require the Planning Commission to review and make a recommendation to the City Council prior to consideration by the City Council.
