Agenda packet — Dublin City Council, December 16, 2025 (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:
 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.
 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, 2025. No matters have come to our attention that would require us, under professional standards, 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 current 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
of the City Council of the City of Dublin
Dublin, California

Management’s estimate of investment valuations, capital assets depreciation and useful life, and pension and OPEB plan assumptions are based on historical 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 investment valuations, capital assets depreciation and useful life, and pension and OPEB plan assumptions 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 significant 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:
 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 Cash and Investments
 Long-term Debt
 Capital Assets
 Employee Retirement Plans
 Other Post-Employment Benefits
 Commitments and Contingencies
 Restatements
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 management. 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 misstatements or matters underlying those uncorrected misstatements could potentially cause future-period financial 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.

The material misstatements identified as a result of our audit procedures and corrected by management are included as an attachment to this letter (“Exhibit A”). 287

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 financial 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, 2025.

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 basic 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 individual 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 and reconciled the supplementary information to the 288
To the Honorable Mayor and Members

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 inconsistent with the information, or manner of its presentation, appearing in the financial statements.

This report is intended solely for 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.

INDE
PENDENT 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 Measure B Funds (Measure B Funds) of the City of Dublin, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, 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 respective financial position of the Measure B Funds of the City, as of June 30, 2025, and the respective 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 standards 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 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 1, the financial statements present only the Measure B Funds and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2025, 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. 301
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

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 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 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:
 Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  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.
 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.  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.
 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 opinions 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 other 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, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records 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, 2025 on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tes
ts of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, 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, 2025

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
All transactions of the Alameda County Transport ation Commission – Measure B Funds (Measure B Funds) of the City of Dublin, Califor
nia (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 re venues 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 fin
ancial statements are prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting.

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

The accounting and fina
ncial reporting treatment app lied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. All governmenta
l funds are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus, wherein only current assets and current liabil
ities generally are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of governmental funds present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (ex
penditures and other financing uses) in net current assets.

C. Fund Accou
nting
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 se lf-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 principl es generally accepted in the United States of America requires manage
ment 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 reportin g period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

2. MEASURE B FUNDS
Under Measure B, approved by the voters of Alam eda County in 1986 (ACTA Old Measure B) and in 2000, (ACTC Measure B), the City receives a portion of the pr oceeds of an additional one-half cent sales tax to be used for transportation-related expenditures. This me asure was adopted with the intention that the funds generated by the additional sales tax will not fund expe nditures previously paid fo r 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.

For the year ended June 30, 2025

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 pu rposes. 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 and cash equivalents are combined with investments and displayed as Cash and Investments.

Measure B Funds had the following cash and investments at June 30, 2025:

Cash and Investments $ 1,105
A. Investments
Under the provisions of the City’s investment po licy, and in accordance wi th Ca lifornia Government Code, the fo
llowing investments are authorized:

In accordan
ce 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 carried at fair market value as required by generally accepted accounting principles. The City accounts fo r all changes in fair value that occurred during the year and are reflected in the fund balance for the fiscal year. These investment value changes are unrealized since the City’s policy is to generally hold and buy investments until maturity dates.

3. CASH AND INVESTMENTS, Co ntinued
B. Risk Di
sclosures
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 rising 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 downgrad e 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 c
ustodial 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 ar
e 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, 2025 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-backed securities) whose cash flow characteristics (coupon rate, redemption amount, or stated maturi ty) 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 asse ts such as principal and interest repayments from a pool of mort
gages (such as Collateralized Mortgage Obligations) or credit card receivables.

As of June 30, 20
25, the City invested in LAIF, which had invested 3.81% of the pool investment funds in Struct
ured Notes and Asset-Backed Securities as comp ared to 3.00% in the previous year. The LAIF fair value factor
of 1.001198310 was used to calculate the fair value of the investments in LAIF.

4. COM

MITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The City participates in several grant programs. Th ese programs are subject to further examination by the grantors and the amount, if any, of expenditures whic h may be disallowed by the granting agencies cannot be determined at this time. The City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial. 9 309

budget is legally enacted through passage of a resolution.  During the
fiscal year, the City Manager is au thorized 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 t

penses that did not occur prior to the year-end, but are expected to be expended in the next year consistent w
ith the original purpose.
 As part of the annual Budget adoption the Ci ty Council authorizes the carry-over unexpend ed ca
pital project appropriations, for those projects where work and expenditures will continue in the subsequent year.
 Formal budgetary integration is employed as a managemen t control device during the year for the general fund, special revenue funds and capital projects funds.  Budgets for the general,
special revenue and capital projects funds are adopted on a basis consis tent with general

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 standards 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, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 10, 2025.

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 limited 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 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 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.

RT ON COMPLIANCE AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL

OVER COMPLIANCE FOR MEASURE B
Independent Auditor’s Report
To th
e 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, 2025.

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, 2025.

Basis for Opinion on Measure B
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financial 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 referred to above is considered material, if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the 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:
 Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  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 Funds’ compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
 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.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.

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 above 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 deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council of the City of Dublin

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 deficiencies 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 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 agreement between the City and the Alameda County Transportation Commission. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

PENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

Dublin, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
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, 2025, 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 respective financial position of the Measure BB Funds of the City, as of June 30, 2025, and the respective 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 standards 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 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 1, 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, 2025, 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. 323
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Dublin
Dublin, California

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 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:
 Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  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.
 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.  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.
 Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Measure BB 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 opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Measure BB Funds’ financial statements. The budgetary comparison information is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 10, 2025 on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, 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.

are separat
e accounting entities with a set of se lf-balancing accounts which comprise their assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenses.

2. MEASURE BB FUNDS
Under Measure BB, approved by the voters of Alameda County in 2014, the City receives a portion of the proceeds 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 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.

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

evenue and expenditure budget for various departmental functions, when the net budget impact is zero.

uthorized 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 ex
penses that did not occur prior to the year-end, but are expected to be expended in the next year consistent w
ith the original purpose.
 As part of the annual Budget adoption the Ci ty Council authorizes the carry-over unexpend ed ca
pital project appropriations, for those projects where work and expenditures will continue in the subsequent year.

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 standards 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, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 10, 2025.

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 Funds (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 limited 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 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 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.

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 referred to above is considered material, if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, 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:
 Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  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.
 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 2024 through June 2025. The Local Street and Roads program has received $1,446,811 and the Bike and Pedestrian program has received $492,592. 18 340

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the Measure 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, 2025, 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, 2025, 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 standards 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 1, 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, 2025, 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. 345

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 VRF Fund’s 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:
 Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  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.  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.  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.
 Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the VRF 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.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
All transactions of th
e Measure F Alameda County Vehicle Registration Fees are reported in a special revenue f
und (VRF Fund) of the City of Dublin, California (City). The special re venue fund is included as part of t
he State Construction and Maintenance Fu nd in the basic financial statements of th e City.

The Fund is used to
account for the City’s revenues earned and expend itures incurred under the City’s various stre
et maintenance and construction projec ts. The accompanying financial statements are for the VRF Fund only and a
re not intended to fairly present the financial position of the City.

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

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

Operating stateme
nts of governmental funds presen t increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreas
es (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 Maintena nce Fund. Funds are
separate accounting entities with a set of self-balancing accounts which comprise their asset
s, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures.

D. Use of Es
timates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principl es generally accepted in the United States of America requires manage
ment 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 reportin g period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

E. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments
The City pools its available cash for investment pu rposes. The City’s cash and cash equivalents are
considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturity of t
hree months or less from date of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents are combined with investments and displayed as Cash and Investments.

LAIF’s investments are subject to credit risk with the full faith and credit of the State of California collateralizing these investments. 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 balanc es for
intergovern
mental 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 susceptible to accrual by the fund, are Measure F vehicle registration fees.

B. Risk Di
sclosures
Interest Rate Risk – Interest rate risk is the fluctuation in fa ir value of investment due to changes in interest rates. The City’s exposure to losses caused by rising interest rates is minimized by limiting the average mat
urity of the City’s investment not to exceed five years.

Credit Risk – Credit risk is the risk o
f 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.

Custodial Cr
edit 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 outs i d e p a r t y . N o n e o f t h e C i t y ’ s i nvestments were subject to custodial cr
edit risk.

C. Local Agency Investmen
t Fund
The City is a voluntary
participant in the Local Agen cy Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under th e oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The City’s investments with LAIF at June 30, 2025, include a portion of the pool funds invested in Structured Notes and Asset-Backed Securities. These invest ments include the following:

Structured Notes – are debt securities
(other than asset-backed securities) whose cash flow characteristics (coupon rate, redemption amount, or stated maturi ty) 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 purcha sers to receive a share of the cash flows from a pool of asse ts such as principal and interest repayments from a pool of mort
gages (such as Collateralized Mortgage Obligations) or credit card receivables.

As of June
30, 2025, the City had invested in LAIF, which had invested 3.81% of the pool investment funds in Structured Notes and Asset-Backed Securities as compared to 3.00% in the previous year. The LAIF fair va
lue factor of 1.001198310 was used to calculate the fair value of the investments in LAIF.

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 standards 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 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, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 10, 2025.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited 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 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 whether the VRF Fund’s 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.

OVER COMPLIANCE FOR MEASURE F
Independent Auditor’s Report
To th
e 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, 2025.

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, 2025.

Basis for Opinion on Measure F
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financial 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.

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 VRF Fund.
357
To the Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council of the City of Dublin

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. 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 referred to above is considered material, if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, 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:
 Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  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.  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 above 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 deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.

We have examined the City of Dublin, California (City)’s compliance with the compliance requirements “activities allowed or unallowed” and “allowable cost/cost principles” (the specified requirements) as described in Part IV “Requirements for an Alternative Compliance Examination Engagement for Recipients That Would Otherwise be Required to Undergo a Single Audit or Program-Specific Audit as a Result of Receiving Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds” of the CSLFRF section of the 2025 OMB Compliance Supplement (referred to herein as “Requirements for an Alternative CSLFRF Compliance Examination Engagement”) during the year ended June 30, 2025. Management of the City is responsible for the City’s compliance with the specified requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the City’s compliance with the specified requirements based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the AICPA; the standards applicable to attestation engagements contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and in the “Requirements for an Alternative CSLFRF Compliance Examination Engagement.” Those standards and requirements require that we plan and perform the examination to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the City complied, in all material respects, with the specified requirements referenced above. An examination involves performing 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 judgment, 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.

We are required to be independent and meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to the engagement.

Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the City’s compliance with specified requirements.

In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the specified requirements referenced above during the year ended June 30, 2025.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we are required to report all deficiencies that are considered to be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in internal control; fraud, and noncompliance with provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, or grant agreements that have a material effect on the City’s compliance with the specified requirements and any other instances that warrant the attention of those charged with governance. We are also required to obtain and report the views of responsible officials concerning the findings, conclusions, and recommendations, as well as any planned corrective actions. We performed our examination to express an opinion on the City’s compliance with the specified requirements and not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the internal control over the specified requirements or on compliance and other matters; accordingly, we express no such opinions. The results of our tests disclosed no matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Intended Purpose
The purpose of this examination report is solely to express an opinion on whether the City complied, in all material respects with the specified requirements referenced above during the year ended June 30, 2025. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026

1. PURP

OSE 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 adopted by the City of Dublin for the fiscal year 2025-2026 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 2025-2026 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 municipal services, to, or from, another government agency or private entity. There were no adjustments made for fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. 4 366

Agenda Item 5.5
DATE: December 16, 2025

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers

FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager

SUBJECT:

Selection of Names of Two New Parks within the Francis Ranch Development
Prepared by: Bridget Amaya, Assistant Parks & Community Services Director

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council will select the names of the two new neighborhood parks located in the Francis Ranch Development.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Confirm Poppy Meadow Park as the name of the northern park and Wild Wind Park as the name of the southern park in the Francis Ranch Development.

The development includes six neighborhoods and two public parks totaling 11 acres. The developer collaborated with Staff to facilitate the design and construction of two new 5.5-acre parks, the northern park and the southern park. Following community input and public meetings, conceptual designs were presented to the Parks and Community Services Commission on November 18, 2024, and subsequently, approved by the City Council on December 3, 2024. The approved designs are provided as Attachment 1. Construction is slated to begin in January 2026 with tentative park openings scheduled for winter 2027.

Public Input and Naming Process
Per the City’s Park Naming policy, community members are invited to suggest names for new park sites, after which the top-ranked names are presented to the Parks and Community Services Commission for consideration and recommendation to the City Council. The policy outlines that park names should generally reflect:
 Geographic location and characteristics
 Landscaping, topography, natural features
 Design amenities or features
 Historical significance
 Recognition of a significant contributor to the advancement of the City  That the land or area is traditionally known as...
 The adjoining neighborhood, area, or street

To gather input, Staff conducted a two-phase online survey process.

Phase One: Open-Ended Survey (May 23-June 13, 2025)
The first survey invited residents to submit ideas based on park design themes and local history. It was promoted through the City’s website, newsflash features, the Dublin Digest, social media, and the Mayor’s Report video. Each of 122 total participants submitted up to three names per park. The survey provided background information to guide respondents, including:

 Park Themes
North Park: Exploration of California
368

Page 3 of 4 ends

South Park: Exploration of the Bay Area
 Historical Context - The land where the new parks will be built was once owned by the Croak family, early Irish-American settlers who arrived in the U.S. in the late 1860s and purchased farmland in 1874 near what is now Croak Road.  Inspirational Elements – Local flora (e.g., poppy, lilac, oak), California and Bay Area geography, and exploration themes
 Design amenities – features from the approved conceptual designs for each park.

Phase Two: Combination Survey (October 9-October 26, 2025) Based on Phase One results, Staff identified standout name pairings that reflected both the provided guidance and a cohesive relationship between the two parks. These combinations were presented in a second survey, asking participants to select their preferred pairing or submit alternate combinations. Attachment 2 provides a description of these name pairings. A total of 127 responses were received. The following table displays the outcome of the survey:

Dougherty Hills Open Space Slide and Trail Repair
On June 17, 2025, the City Council awarded the Dougherty Hills Open Space and Trail Repair construction contract in the amount of $965,078 to Granite Construction Company. The work included the reconstruction of a slope, trail, and associate improvements at the trailhead adjacent to the intersection of Crossridge Road and Shady Creek Road. As a condition of the contract, Granite Construction Company is required to warranty the improvements for a period 376

Page 3 of 6 ends

of one year following the completion of the work and maintain a maintenance bond in the amount of 10% of the final contract value.

During construction, additive change orders for $29,023 were issued for additional tree removals, slope hydroseeding, erosion control measures, aggregate base material, subdrain markers, and trail signs. Deductive changes for $15,800 were applied for the field-verified decrease in contract bid item quantities and for a change to reuse an existing storm drain inlet instead of constructing a new inlet. The resulting balancing of change orders results in a net increase of $13,223. The improvements have been completed in accordance with plans and specifications to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, and Staff recommends that the City Council accept the project and begin the warranty period. Pictures of the damage and the repair work are provided below.

DESCRIPTION:

The 2024-2029 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes the Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) Project, CIP No. ST0121. The GSI Project provides for the planning, design, and construction of various projects that improve water quality and provide other environmental benefits in accordance with the Green Stormwater Infrastructure Plan, which was approved by the City Council on June 18, 2019.

On July 15, 2025, the City Council awarded the Citywide Trash Capture Devices construction contract in the amount of $224,254 to American Enviro Services, Inc. The Citywide Trash Capture Devices project installed 86 small trash capture devices in existing storm drain inlets throughout the City. These devices filter trash and other pollutants from surface water runoff before the water enters the underground storm drainpipes, which connect to channels, creeks, and eventually to the San Francisco Bay. The project is necessary to meet the 100% trash load reduction requirements as mandated by Provision C.10 of the Municipal Regional Stormwater National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Permit No. CAS612008, Order No. R2-2022-0018 (known as the “MRP”), issued by the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board.

During construction, additive change orders for $27,389 were issued for removal of debris from several drain inlets, modifications to trash capture devices due to field conditions, and substitution of different devices at three locations due to field conditions. Deductive changes for $15,405 were applied for the field verified decrease in contract bid item quantities. The resulting balancing of change orders results in a net increase of $11,984. The improvements have been completed in accordance with plans and specifications to the satisfaction of the City 388

Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers

Colleen Tribby, City Manager

SUBJECT:

Zoning Ordinance Amendment to Chapter 8.84 (Sign Regulations) (PLPA- 004290-2025)
Prepared by: Amy Million, Community Development Director

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On December 2, 2025, the City Council considered City-initiated amendments to Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 8.84 (Sign Regulations). The proposed amendments address direction from the City Council to amend the regulation for Temporary Non-Commercial Signs, and other Staff-initiated amendments that are intended to bring greater clarity and consistency to existing regulations. The City Council waived the first reading and introduced the Ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance. The City Council is now requested to waive the second reading and adopt the proposed Ordinance.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Waive the second reading and adopt the Ordinance Approving Amendments to Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 8.84 (Sign Regulations).

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Implementation of the recommended amendments is anticipated to have minimal financial impact. The removal of illegal signs and related administrative tasks are handled through the normal work of the existing Code Enforcement Officers without additional cost to the City.

However, expenses related to the storage of the signs and invoicing of the fee will be incurred.

These costs will be offset by the proposed fee of $50. Pursuant to the City’s fee policy, the City Manager may set a fee before the next comprehensive fee study, and the fee would be officially added to the fee schedule for adoption in July.

Agenda Item 5.9
DATE: December 16, 2025

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers

FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager

SUBJECT:

Amendments to the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan and Dublin Municipal Code for Outdoor Live Entertainment (PLPA-004212-2025)
Prepared by: Jennifer Byous, Principal Planner and Christine Begin, Assistant Planner

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On December 2, 2025, the City Council adopted a resolution approving amendments to the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan Section 3.4 (Land Use Designations) and waived the first reading and introduced an Ordinance amending the Dublin Municipal Code, which together would permit Outdoor Live Entertainment in the Downtown. The proposed Ordinance would amend Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 8.08 (Definitions), Chapter 8.12 (Zoning Districts and Permitted Uses of Land), and Chapter 8.116 (Zoning Clearance), and add Chapter 8.41 (Outdoor Live Entertainment). The City Council is now requested to waive the second reading and adopt the proposed Ordinance.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Waive the second reading and adopt the Ordinance Approving Amendments to the Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 8.08 (Definitions), Chapter 8.12 (Zoning Districts and Permitted Uses of Land), Chapter 8.116 (Zoning Clearance), and the Addition of Chapter 8.41 (Outdoor Live Entertainment) to add Outdoor Live Entertainment as an Allowed Use and Establish Development Standards.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

None.

DESCRIPTION:

The City has initiated amendments to the Dublin Municipal Code related to outdoor live entertainment associated with outdoor seating areas. The proposed amendments build upon the City Council’s adoption of the citywide Outdoor Seating Design Guidelines on September 19, 2023, which established standards to ensure outdoor seating are aesthetically pleasing, 403

Page 2 of 3 ends

provide a high-quality environment for patrons, and appropriately designed for the location.

On December 2, 2025, the City Council adopted a Resolution approving amendments to the DDSP and waived the first reading and introduced an Ordinance approving the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments. In addition, the City Council directed Staff to evaluate the inclusion of specific holidays in the Zoning Clearance process to avoid triggering a subsequent Minor Use Permit, update City Council in one year on the implementation of outdoor live entertainment permits and streamline the noise complaint process.

Staff evaluated ways to include holidays that would be desirable to the residents and restaurants and determined that the existing Temporary Use Permit (TUP) best addressed the City Council’s direction. Restaurants often celebrate cultural holidays such as St. Patrick’s Day, Valentine’s Day and Cinco de Mayo in addition to official Federal and State holidays, making it difficult to adequately capture a list of a holidays that would serve all cultures and address the City Council’s desired outcome. Instead, a TUP would provide businesses with flexibility to have extended hours for the holidays they choose to celebrate. TUPs are approved by staff as an over-the-counter permit and have been successfully used to address outdoor holiday entertainment in the past for cultural holidays such as St. Patrick’s Day and Cinco de Mayo.

The proposed Ordinance is included as Attachment 1. The December 2, 2025 City Council staff report is included as Attachment 2.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with State Guidelines and City of Dublin CEQA Guidelines and Procedures require that certain projects be reviewed for environmental impacts and that environmental documents be prepared. The proposed amends to the DDSP and Zoning Ordinance are exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that the amendments will not have a significant effect on the environment. The amendments only clarify and update existing regulations and do not allow new physical development or intensify existing uses. Future projects will remain subject to permitting processes, including compliance with the noise ordinance and other applicable standards. Therefore, the proposed action is not subject to CEQA review.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

Strategy 1: Economic Development, Small Business Support, and Downtown Dublin Objective 1A: Support the implementation of the 2024 Economic Development Strategy, including pursuing growth industries.

Objective 1D: Continue to evaluate and implement small business programs that provide financial assistance, business development, permit processing, and support services to the community.

Prepared by: Jennifer Byous, Principal Planner and Christine Begin, Assistant Planner
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council will consider City-initiated amendments to the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan (DDSP) and the Zoning Ordinance to permit Outdoor Live Entertainment as an allowed use.

The proposed amendments include updates to Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 8.08 (Definitions), Chapter 8.12 (Zoning Districts and Permitted Uses of Land), and Chapter 8.116 (Zoning Clearance), the addition of Chapter 8.41 (Outdoor Live Entertainment), and amendments to DDSP Section 3.4 (Land Use Designations).

DESCRIPTION:

Background
The overarching vision of the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan (DDSP) is “to create a vibrant, dynamic commercial and mixed-use center that provides a wide array of opportunities for shopping, services, dining, working, living, and entertainment in a pedestrian-friendly and aesthetically pleasing setting that attracts both local and regional residents.” A map of the DDSP area is provided in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Downtown Dublin Specific Plan Map
On September 19, 2023, the City Council adopted citywide Outdoor Seating Design Guidelines to ensure that outdoor seating is aesthetically pleasing, provides a high-quality environment for patrons, and is appropriately designed for the location. The Design Guidelines encourage creative design while enriching the Dublin community. Since adoption, the City has continued to work with business owners to encourage a mix of complementary land uses, including entertainment, in the Downtown area.

In September 2025, a citywide survey was sent to local business owners to gather input regarding the potential introduction of outdoor live entertainment associated with outdoor dining areas. Results from the survey indicate business owners support outdoor live 412

entertainment downtown. The preferred time for these events is weekend evenings, suggesting a desire to boost after-hours activity.

Staff researched examples of regulations for outdoor live entertainment in other jurisdictions.

Collectively, the jurisdictions surrounding Dublin and others in the San Francisco Bay Area emphasize maintaining neighborhood compatibility through a discretionary or temporary permit process. These approaches provide flexibility for local businesses while ensuring outdoor entertainment activities remain compatible with adjacent residential and mixed-use areas. A summary of these regulations is provided in Attachment 4.

Staff proposes to amend the DDSP and Zoning Ordinance to allow outdoor live entertainment in the Downtown.

Analysis
The following is an overview of the proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance and DDSP. The proposed amendments are intended to further implement the vision of the DDSP and expand opportunities for entertainment while ensuring compatibility with surrounding uses.

The amendments would establish “Outdoor Live Entertainment” as a defined land use and create objective standards and approval procedures.

Zoning Ordinance Amendments
Chapter 8.08 (Definitions)
The amendments introduce a new land use and definition for Outdoor Live Entertainment in Chapter 8.08 (Definitions) as follows:

The term Outdoor Live Entertainment shall mean live entertainment that occurs in outdoor areas, not within a fully enclosed permanent structure, associated with Outdoor Dining.

This includes live music or amplified sound.

Chapter 8.12 (Zoning Districts and Permitted Uses of Land) Chapter 8.12 (Zoning Districts and Permitted Uses of Land) would be amended to allow Outdoor Live Entertainment in the Downtown Dublin Zoning Districts with a Zoning Clearance or Minor Use Permit (MUP). This approach provides flexibility for smaller-scale, compliant activities to be approved ministerially, while ensuring that larger or potentially impactful activities undergo discretionary review, as further described below.

Chapter 8.41 (Outdoor Live Entertainment)
New Chapter 8.41 (Outdoor Live Entertainment) establishes specific development standards and permitting procedures. The following standards are designed to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses, compliance with the Building and Fire Codes, and adherence to the City’s noise regulations in Chapter 5.28:
 Location: Permitted within an approved Outdoor Dining area in the Downtown Dublin Zoning Districts.
 Hours of Operation: Limited to 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM Sunday through Thursday and 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM Friday and Saturday.
 Noise Control: Amplified sound must comply with the City’s Noise Ordinance and be 413

Page 4 of 6 ends

limited to music and human speech.

A streamlined Zoning Clearance process is provided for Outdoor Live Entertainment that meets all development standards. If a proposal cannot meet those standards, a Minor Use Permit is required, allowing Staff to review site-specific considerations such as parking, access, and compatibility with surrounding uses, etc., and apply conditions of approval as necessary to ensure compatibility.

Chapter 8.116.020 (Applications Requiring a Zoning Clearance) Chapter 8.116.020 (Applications Requiring a Zoning Clearance) would be amended to include Outdoor Live Entertainment that meets the standards specified in Chapter 8.41 (Outdoor Live Entertainment).

Downtown Dublin Specific Plan Amendments
Corresponding amendments to the DDSP add Outdoor Live Entertainment as an allowed use in the Downtown under Section 3.4 (Land Use Designations) and Table 3-1. This use would be permitted with approval of a Zoning Clearance or Minor Use Permit. These changes are consistent with the Specific Plan’s goals to encourage a mix of complementary land uses - including dining and entertainment—that support an active, pedestrian-oriented downtown.

The proposed amendments provide a clear regulatory framework to facilitate outdoor entertainment activities that enhance the downtown experience, contribute to economic vitality, and align with the vision of the DDSP.

A draft City Council Resolution approving the amendments to the DDSP is included as Attachment 1 and a draft Ordinance approving the amendments to the Zoning Ordinance is included as Attachment 2. A redline version of the proposed changes to the Zoning Ordinance and the DDSP is provided in Attachment 5, where underlined text is proposed to be added and text with a strikethrough is proposed to be deleted.

Consistency with the General Plan, Specific Plans and Zoning Ordinance The proposed Downtown Dublin Specific Plan and Zoning Ordinance Amendments are consistent with the Dublin General Plan in that they support the Plan’s goals to promote a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly, and economically active downtown. By allowing Outdoor Live Entertainment in appropriate locations, the amendments encourage social interaction, enhance the community’s sense of place, and strengthen the mix of complementary land uses envisioned in the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with State Guidelines and City of Dublin CEQA Guidelines and Procedures require that certain projects be reviewed for environmental impacts and that environmental documents be prepared. The proposed amends to the DDSP and Zoning Ordinance are exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that the amendments will not have a significant effect on the environment. The amendments only clarify and update existing regulations and do not allow new physical development or intensify existing uses. Future projects will remain subject to permitting processes, including compliance with the Noise Ordinance and other applicable standards. Therefore, the proposed action is not subject to CEQA review.

PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW:

The Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the proposed amendments to the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Public testimony was provided by three members of the community who expressed concerns about the proposed hours and the potential for loud noise associated with allowing amplified outdoor live entertainment. The Planning Commission recommended approval to the City Council with an added recommendation that the Zoning Clearance include guidance to business owners to monitor noise generated by outdoor entertainment. Planning Commission Resolution No. 25-04 is included as Attachment 3.

In response to the Commission’s recommendation, the draft Ordinance has been revised to reflect the Planning Commission’s recommendation as follows:

8.41.030 (Development Standards and Regulations)
…
C. Amplified Sound. Sound-amplifying equipment shall be limited to music, human speech, or both and be compliant with Dublin Municipal Code Section 5.28 (Noise). Business owners are required to regularly monitor sound levels and take corrective actions as needed to ensure continued compliance with the noise standards.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

Strategy 1: Economic Development, Small Business Support, and Downtown Dublin Objective 1A: Support the implementation of the 2024 Economic Development Strategy, including pursuing growth industries.

Objective 1D: Continue to evaluate and implement small business programs that provide financial assistance, business development, permit processing, and support services to the community.

Agenda Item 5.10
DATE: December 16, 2025

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers

FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager

SUBJECT:

Revisions to the Personnel System
Prepared by: Sarah Monnastes, Human Resources Director/Risk Manager

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council will consider revisions to the City’s Personnel Systems, including the Classification Plan and Salary Plan for Full-Time Employees, to retitle two existing positions and update corresponding job descriptions and salary ranges.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the Resolution Amending the Classification Plan; and adopt the Resolution Amending the Salary Plan for Management Positions Exempt from Competitive Service and for Full-Time Personnel.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The conversion of the Parks & Facilities Development Coordinator into the newly created Parks Planner classification results in an increase of $21,000, or 14%, to the top of the salary range. The cost associated with moving the existing Coordinator into the new position is estimated at $3,900 for the remainder of the current fiscal year. This can be covered within the existing Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget.

DESCRIPTION:

Pursuant to the City’s Personnel System Rules, a job description must be adopted for each classification. Job descriptions outline the essential duties, skills, abilities, and qualifications that comprise the City’s Classification Plan. The Personnel System Rules also require the City Council to adopt a Salary Plan, which is done on an annual basis. This Staff Report outlines proposed updates to the Classification Plan and Salary Plan to reflect organizational and operational needs.

Public Works Director/Assistant City Engineer
The job description for the Public Works Director/Assistant City Engineer is proposed to be 417

Page 2 of 3 ends

retitled Public Works Director and modernized, including removing the requirement to possess a Professional Engineer (PE) License (Attachment 2).

The City utilizes a combination of in-house professional staff and contracted engineering consultants to perform and review technical engineering work. Over time, the operational needs of the Public Works Department have evolved. As a result, the Director’s responsibilities have increasingly focused on executive leadership, strategic planning, budgeting, policy development, capital program management, and interdepartmental coordination. Removing the PE requirement, modernizing the job descriptions, and retitling the position better aligns the classification with contemporary organizational needs and industry standards, where many agencies distinguish between technical engineering roles and department director functions.

The Salary Plan is also proposed to be amended to reflect the revised position title, but there is no recommended change to the current salary (Attachment 4).

Parks & Facilities Development Coordinator
The job description for the Parks & Facilities Development Coordinator is proposed to be updated and retitled Parks Planner (Attachment 3).

An outside consultant conducted a review of the position and determined that while some components of the core scope of work remain appropriate, the title, salary range, and overall job descriptions should be adjusted to accurately reflect the professional-level responsibilities assigned. The existing title does not fully convey the breadth of duties, which include professional-level park planning and project delivery functions such as overseeing park master planning efforts, coordinating community input processes, managing consultant design teams, developing cost estimates, administering grants, and carrying capital projects from concept through construction administration. These responsibilities mirror those commonly found in parks and open space planning positions. Therefore, Staff recommends adopting the more accurate and industry-standard title of Parks Planner to improve alignment with actual duties and enhance the City’s ability to recruit qualified candidates in the future.

The duties of the position are consistent with responsibilities typically assigned to a Senior Planner rather than to the Associate Planner range to which the role is currently aligned.

Therefore, the Salary Plan is proposed to be amended to retitle the position and place the salary within the Senior Planner salary range (Attachment 4). This change promotes internal equity, reflects the professional expertise required of the position, and strengthens the City’s competitiveness in attracting and retaining qualified candidates in a specialized planning field.

The employee currently holding the Coordinator title will be moved into the new classification, with the salary adjusted accordingly.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

None.

Prepared by: Jordan Foss, Senior Management Analyst

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council will receive a presentation on the City of Dublin’s Outdoor Flag Display Policy, established by City Council Resolution No. 56-19 on June 4, 2019. The policy provides standards and procedures for the display of the United States Flag, the California State Flag, the City of Dublin Flag, and any commemorative flags authorized by the City Council. This presentation also summarizes the City’s operating practices for lowering flags to half-staff.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Receive the presentation.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

No financial impact with receiving the presentation.

DESCRIPTION:

During Item 9 of the September 16, 2025 meeting, the City Council requested an informational item be brought back to the City Council on the City’s Outdoor Flag Display Policy, and practices for lowering the flags to half-staff.

Background
On June 4, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 56-19, establishing the City’s Outdoor Flag Display Policy. The policy governs how flags are displayed at City facilities, including the United States Flag, the California State Flag, and the City of Dublin Flag. It also provides standards for the occasional display of commemorative flags at the Dublin Civic Center, as approved by the City Council.

The City of Dublin displays outdoor flags at the following City facilities and parks:
 Civic Center
450

Page 2 of 3 ends

 Corporation Yard
 Don Biddle Community Park
 Dublin Sports Grounds
 Fallon Sports Park
 Fire Stations 16, 17, and 18
 Heritage Park and Museums (only used on occasion)
 Public Safety Complex (Fire Administration and Police Services have separate poles)  Senior Center
 Shannon Community Center
 The Wave Waterpark and Aquatic Center

Policy Overview
The Outdoor Flag Display Policy (Attachment 1) outlines the following key provisions:

Display Standards
 Flags shall be displayed in accordance with federal and state statutes, including Title 4, Chapter 1 of the U.S. Code and California Government Code Sections 430–439.  The United States Flag shall always be flown in the position of highest honor, either alone or alongside the California and City of Dublin flags.  Flags may be flown 24 hours a day if properly illuminated during darkness and may be displayed in all weather conditions if constructed of all-weather material.

Commemorative Flags
 Commemorative flags may only be displayed if authorized by the City Council at a duly noticed meeting.
 Requests to display commemorative flags must be made by a member of the City Council.
 Such flags may be flown for a reasonable period, not to exceed 31 days, and only at the Dublin Civic Center.

Operating Practices For Lowering Flags To Half-Staff
In addition to the adopted policy, City staff follow established operating practices for lowering flags to half-staff in observance of federal or state orders of mourning. The City follows the United States Flag Code (Title 4, U.S. Code, Chapter 1), which provides guidelines for displaying and caring for the American flag, including when it should be flown at half-staff.

Additionally, the City honors established annual federal days of recognition, including:
 National Firefighters Memorial Day – May 4
 Peace Officers Memorial Day – May 15
 Memorial Day – last Monday in May
 Patriot Day – September 11
 Korean War Veterans Armistice Day – July 27
 Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day – December 7

Furthermore, the City also honors the death of national or state leaders as outlined in the US 451

Page 3 of 3 ends

Flag Code, such as:
 The President or former President – 30 days from the date of death.  Upon the death of the Vice President, Chief Justice, or Speaker of the House – 10 days from the date of death.
 Upon the death of an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, a Cabinet member, a U.S. Senator, Representative, or Territorial Delegate, or a Governor – from the day of death until interment.
 Upon Presidential proclamation or gubernatorial order for other tragic events or the death of public servants or military personnel.

These observances serve as a symbol of mourning and respect, and the City follows official notifications and/or the US Flag Code to ensure the flag is displayed in accordance with protocol.

The City’s practice for lowering the flag to half-staff is as follows:
 The City’s Communications Manager receives notifications through a flag status alert service that tracks proclamations issued by the President of the United States, the Governor of California, and other designated authorities.  Upon receiving such notification, the Communications Manager notifies the appropriate maintenance staff, as well as the City Manager, of the order to lower flags.  The Communications Manager publishes a News Flash on the City website about the flag lowering. The News Flash stays public until the flag is raised.  City maintenance staff promptly lower the flags at the Dublin Civic Center and other City facilities and parks to half-staff in accordance with the guidance provided in the alert. o Flags are lowered to half-staff by Alameda County Fire Department at the three City Fire Stations and the Fire Administration building at the Public Safety Complex.
 Flags remain at half-staff for the duration specified in the official proclamation, after which maintenance staff return them to full staff.
 This process ensures the City’s compliance with federal and state protocols and maintains uniform observance across City facilities.

§7. Position and manner of display
The flag, when carried in a procession with another flag or flags, should be either on the marching right; that is, the flag's own right, or, if there is a line of other flags, in front of the center of that line. (a) The flag should not be displayed on a float in a parade except from a staff, or as provided in subsection (i) of this section.
(b) The flag should not be draped over the hood, top, sides, or back of a vehicle or of a railroad train or a boat. When the flag is displayed on a motorcar, the staff shall be fixed firmly to the chassis or clamped to the right fender. (c) No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of America, except during church services conducted by naval chaplains at sea, when the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for the personnel of the Navy. No person shall display the flag of the United Nations or any other national or international flag equal, above, or in a position of superior prominence or honor to, or in place of, the flag of the United States at any place within the United States or any Territory or possession thereof: Provided, That nothing in this section shall make unlawful the continuance of the practice heretofore followed of displaying the flag of the United Nations in a position of superior prominence or honor, and other national flags in positions of equal prominence or honor, with that of the flag of the United States at the headquarters of the United Nations.
(d) The flag of the United States of America, when it is displayed with another flag against a wall from crossed staffs, should be on the right, the flag's own right, and its staff should be in front of the staff of the other flag. (e) The flag of the United States of America should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of States or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from staffs. (f) When flags of States, cities, or localities, or pennants of societies are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United States, the latter should always be at the peak. When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the flag of the United States should be hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or pennant may be placed above the flag of the United States or to the United States flag's right.
(g) When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height.

The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace.
(h) When the flag of the United States is displayed from a staff projecting horizontally or at an angle from the window sill, balcony, or front of a building, the union of the flag should be placed at the peak of the staff unless the flag is at half-staff. When the flag is suspended over a sidewalk from a rope extending from a house to a pole at the edge of the sidewalk, the flag should be hoisted out, union first, from the building. (i) When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag's own right, that is, to the observer's left. When displayed in a window, the flag should be displayed in the same way, with the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the street.

When displayed from a staff in a church or public auditorium, the flag of the United States of America should hold the position of superior prominence, in advance of the audience, and in the position of honor at the clergyman's or speaker's right as he faces the audience. Any other flag so displayed should be placed on the left of the clergyman or speaker or to the right of the audience.
(l) The flag should form a distinctive feature of the ceremony of unveiling a statue or monument, but it should never be used as the covering for the statue or monument.
(m) The flag, when flown at half-staff, should be first hoisted to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half- staff position. The flag should be again raised to the peak before it is lowered for the day. On Memorial Day the flag should be displayed at half-staff until noon only, then raised to the top of the staff. By order of the President, the flag shall be flown at half-staff upon the death of principal figures of the United States Government and the Governor of a State, territory, or possession, as a mark of respect to their memory.

The flag shall be flown at half- staff on Peace Officers Memorial Day, unless that day is also Armed Forces Day. As used in this subsection- (1) the term "half-staff" means the position of the flag when it is one-half the distance between the top and bottom of the staff;
(2) the term "executive or military department" means any agency listed under sections 101 and 102 of title 5; (3) the term "Member of Congress" means a Senator, a Representative, a Delegate, or the Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico; and

If the building has more than one main entrance, the flag should be suspended vertically near the center of the corridor or lobby with the union to the north, when entrances are to the east and west or to the east when entrances are to the north and south. If there are entrances in more than two directions, the union should be to the east. (Added Pub. L. 105–225, §2(a), Aug. 12, 1998, 112 Stat. 1495 ; amended Pub.
