DATE: June 16, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT: Three-Year Cooperative Agreement with Alameda County for Participation in the Urban County Program for Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership Funds
Prepared by: Jason Earl, Senior Management Analyst
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council will consider a three-year cooperative agreement with Alameda County for participation in the Alameda County Urban County program for Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership funds. This agreement will allow the City's continued participation in the Urban County program beginning July 1, 2027, for federal fiscal years 2027-2029. The City must notify HUD and the County of its decision by June 23, 2026.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the Resolution Authorizing the Continued Participation of the City of Dublin in the Alameda County Urban County for Community Development Block Grant Funds and Authorizing Execution of the Cooperation Agreement Between the City and County of Alameda Regarding Participation in the Alameda County Urban County for Community Development Block Grant Funds.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The agreement would allow the City to continue receiving CDBG and/or HOME funds during the upcoming three-year cycle. Dublin has used CDBG and/or HOME funds to directly support City programs as well as programs that serve Dublin residents through Tri-Valley organizations. Historically, Dublin has exceeded its proportional share of allocated funds by accessing unused public service and capital funds from other Urban County jurisdictions.

Although the agreement would not directly change the City’s financial obligations, fewer funds may be available in the future because of increased use by other Urban County jurisdictions. 1471

DESCRIPTION:

Background
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is a federally authorized program, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), that provides annual funding to state and local jurisdictions to support community development activities benefiting low- and moderate-income residents. Funding allocations are determined by HUD using a formula that considers factors such as population, poverty, housing age, overcrowding, and regional growth trends.

The City currently receives CDBG funds through the Urban County program administered by the Alameda County Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The Urban County program provides an opportunity for cities with a population of less than 50,000 to receive CDBG funds (cities over 50,000 may also choose to receive their CDBG allocation through the Urban County program). As a city with a population over 50,000, Dublin could choose to become an Entitlement City and administer the CDBG funds directly by HUD.

Historically Dublin has participated in the Urban County program as the administration requirements of an Entitlement City are significant and the funding allocation would be similar or less. As a result, Dublin participates in the Urban County program through a Cooperative Agreement with Alameda County for the unincorporated portions of the County and the cities of Albany, Emeryville, Newark, and Piedmont.

Alameda County administers the CDBG program on behalf of participating jurisdictions, including preparation of the required Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, and Citizen Participation Plan. The Consolidated Plan is updated every five years. The current Plan is for years 2025 - 2030 and outlines community needs, priorities, goals, and projections, while the Annual Action Plan is completed annually to identify program goals, activities, and budget allocations. The County is also responsible for HUD-required compliance activities, including financial administration, reporting, and ongoing monitoring of subrecipients.

Alameda County HCD administers certain CDBG-funded programs that serve all Urban County jurisdictions. These include fair housing and landlord-tenant services provided through a County contract with ECHO Housing. The County also administers program activities such as the Minor Home Repair Program, which is administered by Healthy Homes. The City of Dublin receives approximately $19,000 annually for the Minor Home Repair Program.

Dublin’s allocation of Public Service Grants, which are discretionary CDBG funds, are currently allocated through the City’s Human Services Grants Program and provide financial support to local non-profits. These discretionary funds are subject to the federal cap limiting public service expenditures to 15 percent of the City’s total non-capital CDBG allocation. Historically, Dublin has exceeded its proportional share of the cap by accessing unused public service funds from other Urban County jurisdictions. For example, in Fiscal Year 2025-26 Dublin received $55,500 in Public Service Grant funding which is nearly triple its federal cap amount of approximately $18,000. Future allocations will depend on the extent to which other participating jurisdictions utilize their public service funds, which may reduce the availability of excess funds. In recent discussions, Alameda County has indicated that the urban county jurisdictions currently 1472

Page 3 of 7 ends

anticipate using their public service fund allocations going forward, thus reducing future excess allocations available to Dublin. Over the past six years, the City of Dublin has secured $419,908 in public service funding for local service organizations, which is more than $314,000 above the amount the City would have received under the federal limitation of 15 percent on non-capital CDBG funding for service grants, as shown in Table 1.

Total $733,844 $419,908 $105,834 $314,074
* The County reduced our non-capital funding because they directly funded $19,397 for Dublin’s Minor Home Repair program
The Capital Grant Program is administered by Alameda County and provides CDBG funding for capital improvement projects. Funding applications are submitted to the County.

Approximately $350,000 is available annually for allocation among Urban County jurisdictions.

Capital Pool funds are shared among Urban County jurisdictions and awarded on a competitive basis; Therefore, the amount available to the City of Dublin varies annually. Over the past 6 years the City has secured $1,858,335 in capital funding for local service organizations, as shown in Table 2.

In the current fiscal year, the City of Dublin secured $319,000 in Capital Grant funding through the Urban County Program. This funding includes $269,000 for Tri-Valley Haven to rebuild and expand its domestic violence shelter and $50,000 for the School of Imagination to construct a new classroom serving additional students in Dublin. This funding level exceeds the approximately $160,000 in Capital Grant funding the City would receive as an Entitlement City.

Table 2 summarizes Capital Grant funding awarded to the City over the past six years. 1473

Total $ 1,858,335
The City is required to make a determination every three years regarding continued participation in the Urban County program or election to become an Entitlement City. Dublin first became eligible for Entitlement City status in 2014, when its population exceeded 50,000.

In 2014, 2017, 2020, and 2023, the City Council chose to remain in the Urban County program. The City must again decide whether to: 1) remain in the Urban County program by entering into a new three-year Cooperative Agreement, or 2) become an Entitlement City and initiate the steps necessary to establish that program. The City is required to notify the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Alameda County HCD of its decision by June 23, 2026.

Analysis
The City of Dublin has the option to become an Entitlement City and receive CDBG funds directly from HUD, assuming responsibility for administration of the CDBG program beginning in 2027, or to remain a participant in the Urban County Program. Table 3 provides a comparison of CDBG program components under the current Urban County structure and the estimated Entitlement City model for Dublin. All dollar amounts are based on Fiscal Year 2025- 26 funding levels and estimates provided by HUD.

Comparable/Nearby Entitlement Cities
Table 4 below provides the Fiscal Year 2025-26 CDBG allocations for comparable nearby Entitlement Cities. CDBG funding levels for cities are based on three primary factors: the age of its housing inventory, the number of low-income census tracts, and its population size.

Although Dublin is comparable in size to other cities, it has a significantly smaller stock of older housing and no low-income census tracts. As a result, Dublin is eligible for a lower level of CDBG funding.

Walnut Creek (Contra Costa County) 70,127 $ 400,232

Livermore (Alameda County) 87,955 $ 394,163
Dublin (Alameda County) 72,589 $ 274,500
Urban County Program
Historically, the City of Dublin has benefited from participation in the Urban County program by accessing Capital Grant funding from the Urban County pool and by utilizing more than its proportional share of available Public Service Grant funds, while not having the burden of the costs and staff time associated with program administration and reporting as an Entitlement City. At a minimum, the City will receive a share of CDBG proportional to its population, and may have opportunities to request unused funds to support CDBG-eligible programs in Dublin.

In addition, the City could potentially utilize CDBG Economic Development funds to support job creation and retention efforts, including the establishment, stabilization, or expansion of small businesses that are owned by low-income individuals or employing low-income workers.

Entitlement City
Becoming an Entitlement City would provide the City with greater control over CDBG program administration, provide greater certainty regarding annual Capital Grant funding, and result in 1476

Page 7 of 7 ends

an estimated $41,000 annually for Public Service Grant funding. However, it could also reduce the maximum amount of potential Capital Grant funding dollars available each year because the City could no longer utilize unused funds in the Urban County pool. This increased control would also result in additional work to administer the program including up-front consultant time and costs to establish the program. Staff believes significant additional staff time would be necessary to manage the CDBG start-up and ongoing program administration, either through redeployed staff resources or through use of a consultant.

Participation Agreement
Staff recommends that the City remain in the Urban County program. The new three-year Cooperation Agreement will enable the City to continue participating in the Urban County program beginning July 1, 2027, for federal fiscal years 2027 through 2029. The City Council is currently being asked to adopt the resolution included as Attachment 1, authorizing the continued participation in the Urban County Program and authorizing the execution of the Cooperation Agreement with Alameda County included as Attachment 2.

WHEREAS, the COUNTY and the CITY cannot withdraw from this cooperative agreement while the Program Years 2027, 2028, and 2029 remain in effect; and WHEREAS, the COUNTY and the CITY desire to provide flexibility in the administration of CDBG-funded activities by establishing within this Agreement two parallel administrative frameworks: (i) a Pass-Through Framework, under which the CITY directly administers CDBG-funded activities as a subrecipient of the COUNTY; and (ii) a Direct Administration Framework, under which the COUNTY directly administers and implements CDBG-funded activities on behalf of the URBAN COUNTY, with the CITY able to elect the Direct Administration Framework on a per-activity basis prior to commitment to activity in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

THEREFORE, it is agreed that:

I. GENERAL COOPERATION AND URBAN COUNTY OPERATION

1. The CITY and COUNTY will cooperate in the operation of the URBAN COUNTY to undertake, or assist in undertaking, community renewal and lower income housing assistance activities, specifically urban renewal and publicly assisted housing, hereinafter called “PROGRAM”, to be carried out with annual Community Development Block Grant, hereinafter called “CDBG”, and HOME Investment Partnership funds, hereinafter called “HOME”, from federal fiscal years 2027, 2028, and 2029 appropriations and from any program income generated from the expenditure of such funds. Community renewal and lower income housing assistance activities shall be those designated or referred to within Title I of the ACT and Title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act and the regulations issued pursuant thereto.

2. The COUNTY is authorized to and shall act in a representative capacity as the lead entity for all members of the URBAN COUNTY for the purposes of administering the CDBG program. The COUNTY assumes overall responsibility for ensuring that the URBAN COUNTY’s CDBG program is carried out in compliance with the requirements of the CDBG program, including requirements concerning the Consolidated Plan.

3. The CITY may not apply for grants under the Small Cities or State CDBG Program from appropriations for fiscal years during the period in which the CITY is participating in the Urban County’s CDBG program.
1481
Cooperative Agreement – Page 3 of 13

4. The CITY may only receive a portion of the formula allocation under the HOME Program through the Urban County. If the Urban County does not receive a portion of the HOME formula allocation, the CITY cannot form a HOME Consortium with other local governments. An Urban County or a unit of government participating with the Urban County may apply to the State of California for HOME funds, if the State allows. The distribution of HOME funds to the Urban County is based on the review and recommendations of proposals received in response to an annual RFP issued by the COUNTY.

5. The CITY may only receive the formula allocation under the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program through the Urban County. If the Urban County does not receive the ESG formula allocation, the CITY cannot participate in an Urban County ESG arrangement with other local governments. An Urban County or a unit of government participating with the Urban County may apply to the State of California for ESG funds, if the State allows.

II. URBAN COUNTY GOVERNANCE

6. The CITY shall designate a staff member to participate in the Urban County Technical Advisory Committee (the “TAC”). The TAC shall serve as the primary forum for member jurisdiction participation in URBAN COUNTY governance and funding recommendations. CITY participation in the TAC shall apply regardless of the administrative framework under which any individual CDBG-funded activity is carried out under this Agreement.

7. The CITY shall have thirty (30) calendar days to approve the portions of the Consolidated Plan which pertain to the CITY before the COUNTY submits the final Consolidated Plan to U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The COUNTY shall incorporate the CITY’s changes to the Consolidated Plan, if any, provided that they meet CDBG requirements.

This review right shall apply regardless of the administrative framework under which any individual CDBG-funded activity is carried out.

8. The TAC shall provide input and recommendations on each project proposed for funding with CDBG funds before the COUNTY approves funding for the project, provided that TAC approval or disapproval shall not obstruct the implementation of the approved Consolidated Plan or the COUNTY’s compliance with applicable federal requirements. Final authority for project selection, funding decisions, and implementation shall rest with the COUNTY as lead entity.

9. The CITY shall designate a representative to whom all notices and communications from the COUNTY shall be directed. The COUNTY’s duty to notify the CITY shall be complete when the communication is sent to the designated official or deputy. It is the exclusive duty of the designated official or deputy to notify the correct individuals or departments within the CITY. 1482
Cooperative Agreement – Page 4 of 13
III. ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORKS FOR CDBG ACTIVITIES

10. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
a. “CDBG Activity” (Activity) means any activity proposed for funding from CDBG appropriations under this Agreement.
b. “Pass-Through Activity” means a CDBG Activity that is administered by the CITY directly as a subrecipient of the COUNTY, with the COUNTY distributing CDBG funds to the CITY for the activity.
c. “Direct Activity” means a CDBG Activity that is administered and implemented by the COUNTY directly on behalf of the URBAN COUNTY, with no distribution of CDBG funds to the CITY for the activity.
d. “Notice of Election” means a written notice filed by the CITY with the COUNTY, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, designating a specific CDBG Activity as a Direct Activity.
e. “Schedule of Activities” means the running schedule of CDBG Activities funded under this Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, identifying each Activity’s administrative framework.
f. “Commitment of funds” means the COUNTY (or the CITY as the sub recipient) and the project owner have executed a written legally binding agreement under which HOME assistance will be provided to the owner for an identifiable project.

11. Default Framework. Each CDBG Activity proposed by or for the benefit of the CITY shall be administered as a Pass-Through Activity unless and until the CITY files a Notice of Election designating that Activity as a Direct Activity in accordance with Paragraph 12.

12. Election Procedure.
a. Timing. The CITY may elect to designate a CDBG Activity as a Direct Activity prior to commitment of funds to the Activity. Once a CDBG Activity has commenced under the Pass-Through Framework, it cannot subsequently be converted to a Direct Activity under this Agreement.
b. Authorization. The CITY shall determine the appropriate internal authorization for filing a Notice of Election in accordance with the CITY’s own protocols. A Notice of Election may be executed by the City Manager (or designee) or pursuant to a resolution of the City Council, at the CITY’s discretion.
1483
Cooperative Agreement – Page 5 of 13
c. Filing and Acceptance. The CITY shall file the Notice of Election with the COUNTY. The COUNTY shall record the election in the Schedule of Activities and confirm acceptance and the effective date in writing to the CITY. The COUNTY may decline to accept a Notice of Election only if the Activity has already commenced as a Pass-Through Activity or if the Notice does not satisfy the requirements of this Agreement. d. Irrevocability. An election to designate a CDBG Activity as a Direct Activity is one-way and may not be revoked. Once a Notice of Election is filed and accepted by the COUNTY, the Activity shall remain a Direct Activity for its duration.

13. Allocation. The CITY’s notional fair-share allocation of CDBG funds shall be preserved regardless of the administrative framework under which any individual Activity is carried out. The TAC may recommend, and the COUNTY may approve, reallocation of funds among Activities or among participating jurisdictions as necessary to ensure compliance with CDBG requirements, including timely expenditure requirements under 24 CFR 570.902. The COUNTY retains final authority on reallocation decisions consistent with Paragraph 8.

14. Schedule of Activities. The Schedule of Activities (Exhibit A) shall be maintained by the COUNTY as a running record of all CDBG Activities funded under this Agreement. The Schedule shall be updated by the COUNTY administratively, without amendment of this Agreement, upon:
(a) Commitment of funds to an Activity; (b) filing and acceptance of a Notice of Election; (c) reallocation of funds pursuant to Paragraph 13; or (d) Activity completion. The COUNTY shall provide the CITY with an updated Schedule of Activities upon request and not less than annually.

IV. PASS-THROUGH FRAMEWORK

15. Application. This Section IV applies to each CDBG Activity that is a Pass-Through Activity under this Agreement.

16. Subrecipient Designation. Pursuant to 24 CFR 570.501(b), the CITY is treated as a subrecipient of the COUNTY for each Pass-Through Activity and is subject to the requirements applicable to subrecipients, including the requirement of a written subrecipient agreement satisfying 24 CFR 570.503

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council will consider the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission’s recommendation for artwork to be painted on nine utility boxes during the summer of 2026.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission’s recommendation for the 2026 Utility Box Art Program.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The estimated cost for the painting of nine utility boxes, including artist compensation and miscellaneous supplies, is $9,350. The project is funded through the Public Art Fund and is included in the Fiscal Year 2026–27 Budget.

DESCRIPTION:

The 2026 Utility Box Art Program will include the painting of nine utility boxes throughout Dublin. The theme for this year’s program is “Where Else but Dublin.” Artists were encouraged to creatively interpret the theme through unique and original designs that reflect the character and identity of the community.

The City sought proposals that aligned with the program theme while also reflecting the City’s adopted Mission, Vision, and Values, including safety, inclusivity, diversity, equality, and history. Artwork was required to be suitable for all ages.

Afshan Hamid
As an artist, I’ve been leading Baking Bliss USA, for 7 years, a business that I’ve grown out of my home in Dublin, California. This company has given me the opportunity to explore myself artistically in many different facets. Contractually, I’ve made all types of baked goods for numerous different events. I’ve been able to appeal to a variety of clientele. I’ve worked with everyone from large companies for get-togethers, to small family parties. All of which I put my own creative vision into, in order to create a returning customer-base. While my speciality is in designer cakes, as a flexible artist, I’ve worked in cookies, cupcakes and adapted to these artistic formats effectively and proactively. All of my work is catalogued @bakingblissusa, and my services are easily accessible.

“Flowing Currents”
The underwater scene contrasts Dublin’s urban streets by imagining a hidden, unexpected world beneath the surface. The flowing fish mirror the movement of the diverse people and the city’s constant energy, while reflecting Dublin’s mix of cultures. It answers “Where else but Dublin?” by showing how an ordinary pond ecosystem corner can hold something imaginative, layered, and uniquely alive.

Project Title:

A Starry Dublin Night
Project Overview
We propose a utility box design titled A Starry Dublin Night, a calming and visually immersive artwork inspired by the beauty of the night sky over Dublin, California. The piece blends a softly swirling, star-filled sky with a simplified view of the city below, transforming an everyday streetscape into a moment of quiet wonder.
1515
The design captures the contrast between the vast, expressive sky and the grounded familiarity of the local landscape. It invites viewers of all ages to pause, look upward, and reconnect with a sense of imagination, reflection, and place within the Dublin community.

Concept & Inspiration
Inspired by expressive, painterly night skies, this design uses flowing movement, soft light, and gentle color transitions to create a dreamy, atmospheric experience. The swirling sky reflects a sense of motion and energy, while the stars and moon provide calm, guiding focal points.

Below, a simplified interpretation of Dublin, California—rolling hills, palm trees, and subtle architectural forms—anchors the composition in a recognizable yet stylized environment. Rather than focusing on detailed realism, the design emphasizes mood, light, and accessibility.

The goal is to create an artwork that:

Ɣ Evokes a sense of calm and wonder through a luminous night sky Ɣ Reflects Dublin’s local landscape in a simplified, approachable way Ɣ Engages viewers of all ages through color, movement, and contrast Ɣ Aligns with Dublin’s values of inclusivity, community, and shared public space Design Elements
Ɣ Sky Composition: A swirling, star-filled night sky using layered blues, purples, and soft indigo tones, accented with warm yellows and whites for stars and moonlight.

Ɣ Simplified Cityscape: Minimal, stylized forms representing Dublin, including rolling hills, palm trees, and clean building silhouettes, ensuring the design remains easy to interpret and paint.

Ɣ Light & Contrast: Warm glowing windows and streetlights create a gentle contrast against the cool-toned sky, adding depth without complexity.

Ɣ 360° Visual Flow: The sky and landscape wrap around the utility box, creating a continuous scene that shifts as viewers move around it.

Site-Specific Appeal
A Starry Dublin Night is well suited for intersections and community corridors where people pass by regularly, offering a peaceful visual moment within a busy environment. Its soft colors and clear composition make it highly visible while remaining calming rather than overwhelming.

The design enhances its surroundings by turning a functional object into a small landmark—inviting residents to engage with public art in an approachable and meaningful way. 1516
Execution & Materials
Provided by City of Dublin:

Prepared utility box surface and protective sealant
Artist-Provided Materials:

Ɣ High-quality exterior acrylic paints in light, fade-resistant tones Ɣ Brushes and rollers for smooth gradients and bold shapes Ɣ Blending tools for soft sky transitions and subtle texture Protective Finish:

City-applied anti-graffiti sealant to ensure durability and longevity Community Engagement & Impact
A Starry Dublin Night offers a universally accessible visual experience. Children are drawn to the glowing stars and soft movement, while adults can appreciate the peaceful atmosphere and artistic style.

The design encourages brief moments of pause in daily routines, fostering a sense of calm and connection within shared public space. By reflecting both the natural sky and the local landscape, the artwork strengthens a sense of identity and belonging within Dublin.

Final Statement
Through A Starry Dublin Night, we aim to bring a sense of quiet beauty and reflection to Dublin’s streets. By combining a luminous, expressive sky with a simplified view of the city, the artwork transforms a utility box into a moment of wonder—celebrating both the imagination above us and the community around us.

Project Title:

Seasons of Dublin
Project Overview
We propose a utility box design titled Seasons of Dublin, a vibrant and immersive artwork inspired by the changing beauty of the four seasons within Dublin, California. The piece transforms the utility box into a continuous visual cycle of spring, summer, fall, and winter, celebrating nature’s rhythm and the city’s connection to its surrounding landscape. 1521
Each side of the box represents a distinct season, creating a dynamic, walk-around experience that shifts as viewers move through the space. The design turns an everyday object into a living calendar of color, atmosphere, and place—inviting residents to reflect on time, change, and the natural world within their community.

Concept & Inspiration
Inspired by the natural transitions of the year, this design uses color, light, and simplified landscape forms to express the unique feeling of each season in Dublin. Rather than focusing on realism, the artwork emphasizes mood and emotional tone, allowing each side of the box to feel distinct yet connected.

Spring introduces renewal and softness, summer brings brightness and energy, fall offers warmth and richness, and winter creates calm through cool, muted tones. Above all four sides, a unifying sky ties the composition together, symbolizing continuity through change.

The goal is to create an artwork that:

Ɣ Celebrates the natural seasonal rhythm of Dublin’s environment Ɣ Engages viewers through bold color shifts and visual storytelling Ɣ Creates an interactive experience as people move around the box Ɣ Reflects themes of time, growth, and community connection Design Elements
Spring Side: Soft greens, fresh blossoms, and light pastel tones suggest renewal and growth, with gentle floral accents and airy composition.

Summer Side: Bright blue skies, sunlit hills, and vivid greens create a warm, energetic atmosphere representing peak vibrancy and activity.

Fall Side: Warm oranges, deep reds, and golden tones evoke harvest season, falling leaves, and a sense of cozy transition.

Winter Side: Cool blues, soft grays, and subtle cloud textures capture rain, mist, and quiet stillness, offering a calm and reflective mood.

Top Surface: A unified sky transitions across all four sides, blending seasonal palettes into a continuous atmospheric layer that visually connects the entire piece.

Site-Specific Appeal
1522
Seasons of Dublin is especially well suited for pedestrian-heavy areas, parks, and community corridors where viewers naturally circulate around the box. Its wraparound design encourages movement, discovery, and interaction, revealing a different “season” with each step.

The clarity of each side makes the design instantly readable at a glance, while the full experience unfolds over time, rewarding closer observation.

Seasons of Dublin offers an intuitive and accessible visual experience for all ages. Children can enjoy the bright contrasts and recognizable seasonal themes, while adults can appreciate the subtle transitions and sense of time passing.

The design encourages repeated viewing throughout the year, allowing residents to connect the artwork with real seasonal change. It transforms a static object into a reflection of the living environment around it.

By celebrating natural cycles, the piece fosters a deeper sense of place, continuity, and appreciation for Dublin’s landscape and community life.

Final Statement
Through Seasons of Dublin, we aim to transform a utility box into a visual journey through the year. By dedicating each side to a different season and unifying them through a shared sky, the artwork becomes both structured and fluid—celebrating change, balance, and the quiet beauty of time passing in Dublin’s public spaces.

Project Title:

Guardian of Dublin: Rooted in Nature, Connected in Community Project Overview
We propose a utility box design titled Guardian of Dublin, a vibrant and symbolic artwork centered on a serene Mother Nature figure rising from the hills of Dublin. The design transforms the utility box into a unified, flowing composition where landscape, history, and community are expressed as living energy moving through and from her form.

Rather than dividing the box into separate scenes, the artwork wraps continuously around all sides, creating an immersive experience. Roads, rolling hills, wildflowers, and light emerge from Mother Nature and travel across the surface, symbolizing Dublin as a place of connection, growth, and movement.

The piece turns an everyday object into a grounded yet expressive visual landmark—inviting viewers to reflect on their relationship to the land, their community, and the shared pathways that connect them.

Concept & Inspiration
Inspired by Dublin’s identity as both a natural landscape and a place of connection, this design presents Mother Nature as the embodiment of the land itself—calm, strong, and ever-present.

Her figure is integrated into the environment:
1527
Ɣ Her hair flows into hills, sky, and plant life
Ɣ Her body becomes the landscape
Ɣ Roads and pathways wind through her form like lifelines These pathways symbolize:

Ɣ Movement through time
Ɣ The idea of Dublin as a crossroads
Ɣ The connection between past, present, and future
Rather than focusing on literal storytelling, the artwork uses flowing forms, color, and light to create a sense of harmony and continuity.

The goal is to create an artwork that:

Ɣ Celebrates Dublin’s connection to nature
Ɣ Symbolizes unity, movement, and growth
Ɣ Engages viewers through vibrant color and flowing design Ɣ Creates a calming yet visually striking presence in public space Design Elements
Central Figure (Primary Face of Box):

A serene Mother Nature figure emerging from or rising within the rolling hills. Her expression is peaceful, representing balance and protection. Her hair blends into the surrounding environment—forming hills, sky, and vegetation.

Flowing Pathways & Roads:

Soft, winding roads and lines move across all sides of the box, connecting each panel. These represent Dublin’s role as a place of connection and journey, visually tying the composition together. 1528
Landscape & Hills:

Golden rolling hills inspired by the Amador Valley form the foundation of the design, grounding the piece in its local environment.

Floral Elements:

Bright, native-inspired wildflowers such as California poppies and lupine add vibrancy, energy, and seasonal life to the composition.

Sky (Top & Upper Sections):

A luminous, continuous sky wraps across the top and upper edges, blending warm sunlight with soft clouds. This creates a sense of openness and continuity across all sides.

Color Palette:

Ɣ Vibrant golds, greens, and blues for the land
Ɣ Warm sunlight tones (yellows, oranges) for energy and growth Ɣ Accents of purples and pinks in florals for contrast and visual interest Site-Specific Appeal
Guardian of Dublin is designed for high-visibility, pedestrian-friendly areas where viewers naturally move around the box.

Its wraparound composition:

Ɣ Encourages movement and discovery from every angle
Ɣ Offers both immediate visual impact and deeper symbolic meaning Ɣ Maintains clarity at a distance while rewarding close-up viewing The central figure provides a strong focal point, while the flowing elements ensure every side feels connected and complete.
1529
Execution & Materials
Provided by City of Dublin:

Ɣ Prepared utility box surface
Ɣ Protective anti-graffiti sealant
Artist-Provided Materials:

Ɣ High ۺۭۜ۬ۤۺ exterior acrylic paints (UV-resistant, fade-stable) Ɣ Brushes and blending tools for smooth gradients and flowing forms Ɣ Layering techniques to achieve depth in hills, sky, and floral elements Protective Finish:

Ɣ City-applied anti-graffiti coating for durability and longevity Community Engagement & Impact
Guardian of Dublin offers a universally accessible visual experience.

Ɣ Children are drawn to the bright colors, flowers, and flowing shapes Ɣ Adults connect with the symbolism of nature, growth, and community Ɣ The design encourages reflection without requiring explanation By removing literal figures and focusing on symbolic flow, the artwork allows viewers to see themselves within the landscape, fostering a shared sense of belonging.

The mural transforms a static utility box into a meaningful representation of:

Ɣ Connection to place
Ɣ Environmental appreciation
1530
Ɣ The quiet strength of community
Final Statement
Through Guardian of Dublin, we aim to transform a utility box into a living expression of nature and connection. By centering Mother Nature as both the landscape and the force that unites it, the artwork becomes fluid, grounded, and deeply symbolic.

The design reflects Dublin as a place where paths meet, communities grow, and nature remains at the heart of it all—creating a timeless visual piece that resonates with all who pass by. 1531

CALL FOR ARTISTS
Utility Box Art Project
“Where Else But Dublin”
CALL ISSUE DATE: March 3, 2026
CALL DEADLINE: April 20, 2026, 12:00 a.m.(midnight)
The City of Dublin invites qualified professional artists and student artists working under the supervision of a professional artist or art teacher to submit designs for painted utility boxes.

Utility Box Art is popular throughout the Bay Area as a cost-effective way to bring public art to City streets, define neighborhoods and deter graffiti. All the boxes are traffic signal cabinets owned by the City of Dublin. Boxes will be awarded to up to ten different artists based on design.

The City will pay a stipend of $1,000 to each artist or, if the artist is a student or student team, to the supervising professional artist or art teacher. The stipend is intended to cover the cost of the artist's design fee as well as the materials that will be necessary to paint the utility box.

Artists are responsible for preparing, painting, and sealing the utility boxes. The City will provide the materials to clean, primer, and seal the utility box, while artists are required to provide all necessary high quality, professional painting materials.

Approved paint brands include Nova Color, Golden Artist Colors, Liquidtex Professional Acrylics, Viponds Paint, or approved equal.

Artwork created under this program is considered temporary artwork and the property of the City of Dublin. As such, the City retains the right and sole discretion to remove, modify or replace the artwork. Situations in which the City may exercise this right include if the image or utility box is damaged, if the artist fails to complete the painting as shown on the approved design rendering or if the artist fails to complete the painting in a timely fashion.

Artist must reside within the nine Bay Area Counties (Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Fracisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano and Sonoma).

The artist’s name, artwork title, and photo of the artwork will be featured on the City of Dublin website and other promotional materials.

ART SELECTION PROCESS:

Staff will review applications for completeness. The Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission will review designs at its May 7, 2026, meeting and make recommendations to the City Council. The City Council will review recommended designs and select artists at its regular meeting June 2, 2026. These dates are tentative and subject to change.

Selected artists will be asked to sign a Public Art Agreement, including standard liability waiver and release. In the case of underage artists, the City will enter into the agreement with the supervising professional artist or art teacher. Underage artists and underage painting assistants will be required to have a parent sign the liability waiver and release.

PROCESS:

City Staff will coordinate with the artist, other City departments and neighboring businesses or homeowners to select a mutually agreeable three-month painting period between July 1, 2026, and September 30, 2026.

Artists are responsible for prepping the utility box, painting the design, and sealing with a clear anti-graffiti coating. The City will provide supplies for the artist to prep and seal the utility boxes. Artists are responsible for purchasing their own painting supplies.

Artists are expected to clean and primer the utility box, paint the entire utility box including the side boxes and pipes, and seal the utility box when the painting is complete. Artists may not paint over key holes, meters, or numbers.

Artists may enlist painting assistants. All painting assistants must sign a liability waiver and release. Underage painting assistants must have a parent sign the liability waiver and release.

Student artists must be supervised by a professional artist, who is ultimately responsible for the artwork of the student. Student artists must provide their professional artist’s qualifications with their application. Student artists and their teacher/professional artist will be required to meet with Staff prior to starting the project, to ensure they understand the City’s expectations.

Upon completion of the utility box, City Staff will meet with the artist at the site to inspect/approve the artwork and take a publicity photo of the artist with their completed utility box.

STAFF REPORT

CITY COUNCIL

Page 1 of 5 ends

DATE: June 16, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT: Directing Preparation of Annual Engineer’s Reports, Approving Preliminary Engineer’s Reports, and Appointing a Time and Place for Hearing Protests for Street Lighting Maintenance Districts 1983-1 and 1999-1 Prepared by: Brad Olson, Management Analyst II
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council will consider adopting resolutions directing the preparation and approval of the preliminary Fiscal Year 2026-27 Engineer’s Reports for Street Lighting Maintenance Districts (SLMD) 1983-1 and 1999-1, and setting a public hearing on July 21, 2026 to consider the levy of assessments. These actions are being taken concurrently with Proposition 218 proceedings to consolidate both districts into a new Street Lighting Assessment District (SLAD) 2026-1. The ballots for SLAD 2026-1 will be tabulated on June 17, 2026. If SLAD 2026-1 is approved, it will replace the existing districts and the July 21, 2026 public hearing will be canceled. If SLAD 2026-1 is not approved, the public hearing and levy of assessments for SLMD 1983-1 and SLMD 1999-1 will proceed.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the Resolution Directing Preparation of Annual Engineer’s Reports for Street Lighting Maintenance Districts 1983-1 and 1999-1; and adopt the Resolution Approving the Preliminary Engineer’s Reports, Declaring the Intention to Levy and Collect Assessments, and Scheduling a Time and Place for Hearing Protests for Street Lighting Maintenance Districts 1983-1 and 1999-1.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The cost to prepare the Engineer's Reports is included in the annual operating budget of each respective assessment district. Typically, Staff know the anticipated budget amounts for each district ahead of the normal budget cycle. This year, the City is conducting proceedings under Proposition 218 to consolidate the two existing districts into a new Street Lighting Assessment District (SLAD) 2026-1. Because the outcome of the Proposition 218 vote will not be known until mid-June, totals could not be incorporated into the Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget as part of 1542

Page 2 of 5 ends

the normal budget cycle. Therefore, the proposed budgets below differ from the approved Fiscal Year 2026-27 budgets. Should the hearing and levy of assessments for SLMD 1983-1 and SLMD 1999-1 need to move forward, the budgets for the two assessment districts will be adjusted during the midyear budget review.

A summary of the projected revenues, expenditures, and reserves of each district is shown in the following table.

Ending Balance Fiscal Year 2026-27 $293,471 $975,954
1The Fund Balances shown in the table above represent amounts held for both operating reserves and capital replacement.

DESCRIPTION:

Street Lighting Maintenance Districts (SLMD) 1983-1 and 1999-1 fund maintenance, utilities, repairs, and replacements for streetlights within the City of Dublin. Annual assessments levied on properties within each district are collected through the property tax roll and must follow the procedures established by the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Act). The Act requires that the City Council direct the preparation of Engineer’s Reports, approve those reports, and conduct a public hearing on proposed assessments each fiscal year.

The City is currently conducting proceedings under Proposition 218 to consolidate the two SMLDs into a new Street Lighting Assessment District (SLAD) 2026-1. Proposition 218 requires that property owners be notified of and given the opportunity to vote on a new assessment district. Ballots were mailed to affected property owners, and the balloting period closes at a public hearing on June 16, 2026 with results tabulated on June 17, 2026. If a majority of returned ballots by weighted assessment value oppose formation, SLAD 2026-1 will not be established.

The outcome of the Proposition 218 vote will not be known until mid-June. The City must prepare contingency proceedings for the existing SLMDs in parallel with the effort to consolidate the districts. If SLAD 2026-1 is approved, it will replace SLMD 1983-1 and SLMD 1999-1, and no further action on those districts will be needed for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

However, if SLAD 2026-1 fails, the City must be ready to levy assessments in the existing 1543

Page 3 of 5 ends

districts before the deadline for inclusion on the 2026-27 property tax rolls. To meet that timeline, Staff is combining what would normally be two separate Council actions, directing preparation of the Engineer's Reports and approving the preliminary reports, into a single meeting and scheduling the public hearing on July 21, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers.

The draft Engineer’s Reports have been prepared for SLMD 1983-1 and SLMD 1999-1 and are ready for approval. The following is a discussion of the two SLMDs and the findings of the Engineer’s Reports for each District. More detailed information about each district, including maps showing district boundaries can be found in Attachments 3 and 4.

Street Lighting Maintenance District 1983-1
This District was established to replace the County Service Area, which had paid maintenance and energy costs for public streetlights in Dublin prior to City incorporation. The City Council approved formation of this District on August 2, 1983 with the initial assessment in the 1984- 1985 tax year. This District funds the utilities, maintenance, repair, and replacement costs associated with street lighting in the entire City except for Dublin Ranch, Fallon Village, Clifden Park in the western hills, The Boulevard, and Tassajara Hills.

The maximum assessment allowed under the authorizing documents is $19.34 per unit for residential uses and $106.37 per acre for commercial uses. The maximum assessment has been levied since Fiscal Year 2007-08. There is no provision in the formation documents to increase the per unit levy. As noted in the Engineer’s Report, any increase would require the approval of the property owners subject to the assessment through a Proposition 218 process.

For Fiscal Year 2026-27, there is an increase in budgeted electricity costs, primarily due to projected increases in PG&E rates. Estimated expenditures are anticipated to exceed projected revenues in Fiscal Year 2026-27 and Fiscal Year 2027-28, requiring transfers from the available fund balance to cover the annual operation and maintenance costs. The City’s General Fund will need to offset the operating deficit beginning Fiscal Year 2027-28 to continue current service levels.

Since there is no authorized annual escalator for the assessment rates, the proposed assessment amount for Fiscal Year 2026-27 remains the same as Fiscal Year 2025-26, as shown below.

This District funds the utilities, maintenance, repair, and replacement costs associated with 1544

Page 4 of 5 ends

street lighting that has been installed in Dublin Ranch, Fallon Village, Tassajara Hills, and Clifden Park Tract 7067. The City Council approved formation of this District on June 1, 1999 with the initial assessment in the 1999-2000 tax year.

The District also includes a Capital Improvement Fund (CIF) reserve set aside to pay for improvement projects outside normal operation and maintenance costs, such as LED upgrades and painting portions of the decorative streetlight poles within the District.

The assessment methodology in the formation documents for this District include an escalation clause that allows for adjustments to the assessment according to the Consumer Price Index and utility cost increases. These factors are updated in the Engineer’s Report on an annual basis. The maximum assessment for Fiscal Year 2026-27, adjusted by the approved adjustment formula, is $85.56 per single family residence and $470.58 per acre for commercial parcels. The City can adjust the actual levy, within these maximums, based budgeted costs for District expenditures and the reserve fund balance.

The proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 assessments increase by 25 percent following a comprehensive review of the City’s street lighting program conducted as part of the Proposition 218 process for SLAD 2026-1. The analysis indicated that the existing cost allocation did not fully reflect the special benefits received by properties within SLMD 1999-1 and that a larger share of the City’s street lighting costs should be assigned to the district. The proposed assessments also account for inflationary increases in utility and maintenance costs.

Upon City Council adoption of the resolutions, a public hearing on the proposed assessments will be scheduled for July 21, 2026 at 7:00 pm. Whether that hearing proceeds will depend on the outcome of the SLAD 2026-1 ballot tabulation on June 17, 2026, as described above.

STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1983-1 INTRODUCTION 1 SECTION I

INTRODUCTION
The City of Dublin (“City”) levies and collects special assessments on parcels within the City of Dublin Street Lighting Maintenance Assessment District No. 1983-1 (“District”) to maintain the public street lighting improvements. The District was initially formed in 1983 to provide a dedicated source of funding for the ongoing maintenance of street lighting improvements within the boundaries of the District.

The assessments and method of apportionment described in this Engineer’s Report (“Report”) utilize commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and have been calculated and proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits received as approved by the City Council at the time the District was formed.

General Description of the District
The District was created in 1983 to replace the County of Alameda Lighting Service Area within the City of Dublin and to fund the maintenance and servicing costs for the City’s street lighting system. In Fiscal Year 1995-96, the City of Dublin acquired the PG&E owned streetlights within the District to reduce maintenance costs. The District includes all parcels that were within the County of Alameda Lighting Service Area which includes all parcels within the City except for Dublin Ranch, the Clifton Park development in the western hills, Tracts 7067, 8024, 8073 and 8074, the Jordan Ranch development, the Tassajara Hills development, and the Francis Ranch development.

A reduced copy of the Assessment Diagram showing the exterior boundaries of the District is provided in Part C of this Report.

Compliance with the California Constitution
Assessments are levied annually within the District pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (“1972 Act”). All assessments described in this Report and approved by the City Council are prepared in accordance with the 1972 Act and are compliant with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID (“Article XIIID”), which was enacted with the passage of Proposition 218 in November 1996. Pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5, certain existing assessments are exempt from the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4. Specifically, Article XIIID Section 5(a) exempted:
“Any assessment imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operation expenses for sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control, drainage systems or vector control. Subsequent increases in such assessments shall be subject to the procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4.”
1554
CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1983-1 INTRODUCTION 2 The City has determined that the annual assessments originally established for the District were for the maintenance and operation of streetlights within the public street rights-of-way. As such, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5(a), the pre–existing assessment amount has been exempted from the procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4 since the amount of the assessment has not increased since the passage of Proposition 218.

Any future increase in the assessment rate or substantial changes in the services provided would require that the District be brought into compliance with all the requirements of Article XIIID and would require the approval of the property owners subject to the assessment based upon a mailed ballot which would be sent to each property owner.

Summary of District
The table below summarizes the maximum assessments and the assessments to be levied for each property type in Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27. As shown in Part B of this Report, the estimated expenditures are anticipated to exceed the projected revenues in FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28, requiring transfers from the available fund balance to cover the annual operation and maintenance costs. If expenditures continue to exceed assessment revenues, ongoing fund balance transfers will be necessary. It is projected that the remaining fund balance for the District will be depleted in FY 2027-28 and the City will need to contribute from an alternative funding source. Increasing assessment revenues to address the rising funding shortfall requires property owner approval through mailed ballot proceedings conducted in accordance with Proposition 218. City Council may approve increased assessments if a majority of ballots returned, weighted by the proposed assessments, do not oppose the increased assessments.

STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1983-1 ESTIMATE OF COSTS 7 PART B

ESTIMATE OF COSTS
All public streetlights and other eligible improvements within the District are maintained and serviced on a regular basis, using assessment revenues and available reserve funds. Since the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996, any increase in assessment rates require property owner approval. Although assessment revenues within the District have increased incrementally over time because of new development, annual operations, maintenance, and utility costs have increased at a significantly faster rate. As a result, the current annual assessment revenues are not sufficient to fully fund the District’s ongoing operations, maintenance, and administrative expenses. The District is utilizing its available reserve fund balance to offset the funding shortfall to maintain existing service levels and provide for continued operation and maintenance of the streetlighting improvements within the District. The District’s available reserve fund balance is projected to be depleted during Fiscal Year 2027-28 and the City will need to begin contributing from the General Fund to continue maintaining and operating the streetlighting improvements within the District at current service levels.

The proposed cost estimate for the District is shown in Table 2. This includes an estimate of the costs of utilities, operations, services, administration, and maintenance associated with the improvements, including all labor, personnel, equipment, materials, and administrative expenses for the next two (2) fiscal years. The summary also shows the estimated fund balance, and the projected reserve collection increase/(decrease) that will be required from the fund balance based upon the estimated expenditures and assessment revenue. Projected cost estimates are also shown for two (2) fiscal years.

The following describes the general services and costs shown in the cost estimate.

District Costs
Operating Supplies – The cost of supplies for ongoing maintenance and servicing of the street lighting improvements including street light repair parts and the labor associated with performing the repair work. In addition, a portion of this cost is set aside as a contingency amount for both large scheduled and unscheduled, but necessary repairs.

Contract with Alameda County – The cost of street light maintenance provided by the County of Alameda based on the current fiscal year contract.

California Street Light Association – The cost of Street Light Association dues based on the relative number of streetlights within the District.

Utilities Electricity – The cost of streetlight electrical energy use, including miscellaneous utility charges.

CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1983-1 ESTIMATE OF COSTS 8 Improvements (Not Building) – The cost of improvements (not building) includes costs associated with the maintenance, construction, and rehabilitation of authorized improvements.

Miscellaneous Expenses – Costs that cannot easily be categorized into any of the other District Costs defined above.

Legal Notices – The cost of legal notices includes costs associated with preparation and publishing of any, and all required legal notices associated with the District.

District Administration – The costs of contracting with professionals to provide services specific to the annual levy administration, including preparation of the Engineer’s Report, resolutions, and levy submittal to the County. These fees can also include any additional administrative, legal, or engineering services specific to the District such as the cost to prepare and mail notices of the public meeting and hearing.

Public Works Administration – The cost of public works administration includes costs derived by the City’s Public Works Department or other department in relation to the administration and management of the District.

County Collection Fee – The cost to the District for the County to collect assessments on the annual secured property tax bills. Alameda County charges 1.7% of the total amount levied.

CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1983-1 ESTIMATE OF COSTS 9 1The actual assessment amount levied may be slightly less because the County only applies assessments in even pennies in order to divide the property tax bill payments into two equal installments.
2Includes $175,000 incurred during Fiscal Year 2025-26 for the process to form new Street Lighting Assessment District 2026-1.
3The City receives assessment revenue in two installments, typically in January and May. Therefore, the City must maintain sufficient fund to cover approximately 50% of the annual budget during the period from July 1st through December 31st.
4The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 allows for the collection of funds for the repair and replacement of eligible District improvements.

Capital Improvement Projects
In addition to collecting funds annually for maintenance, funds are also allowed to be collected for capital improvement projects. Capital improvement projects generally include the repair and replacement of public improvements authorized to be maintained by the District. These funds are collected and often accumulated in a separate fund and are not considered to be a part of the regular maintenance of the improvements.

STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1983-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 13 PART D

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENTS
General
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of public lights, landscaping, and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
The formula used for calculating assessments in the District therefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel. In addition, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 4:
“No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable, and an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”
Benefit Analysis
Each of the improvements have been carefully reviewed by the City and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on special benefits received from the improvements as determined at the time the District was established.

General Benefits – In reviewing each of the District improvements, the proximity of those improvements to both properties within the District and those outside the District, as well as the reasons for installing and constructing such improvements, it is evident that the improvements are solely the result of developing properties within the District and the ongoing maintenance and operation of these improvements will directly affect the properties within the District. Although the improvements include public areas, easements, rights-of-way, and other amenities available or visible to the public at large, the construction and installation of these improvements were only necessary for the development of properties within the District and were not required, nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside the District boundary and any public access or use of the improvements by others is incidental. Therefore, it has been 1566
CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1983-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 14 determined that the improvements and the ongoing maintenance, servicing and operation of those improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the District or to the public at large, but clearly provide distinct and special benefits to properties within the District.

Special Benefits – The method of apportionment (method of assessment) outlined herein is based on the premise that each assessed parcel within the District receives special benefits from the improvements and the desirability and security of those properties as enhanced by the presence of public lighting near those properties.

The special benefits conferred on property from street lighting and other public lighting facilities include the convenience, safety, and security of property, improvements, and goods. Specifically:
1) Enhanced deterrence of crime and the aid to police protection. 2) Increased nighttime safety on roads, streets, and public areas. 3) Improved ability of pedestrians and motorists to see. 4) Improved ingress and egress to property.
5) Reduced vandalism and other criminal acts and damage to improvements or property.
6) Improved traffic circulation and reduced nighttime accidents and personal property loss.

The preceding special benefits contribute to the aesthetic value and desirability of each of the assessed parcels within the District and thereby provide a special enhancement of the properties. Furthermore, it has been determined that the lack of funding to properly service and maintain the District improvements would have a negative impact on the properties within the District.

All the preceding special benefits contribute to a specific enhancement and desirability of each of the assessed parcels within the District.

Non-Assessable Properties – Within the boundaries of the District, there are several types of properties that are considered to receive no special benefit from the District improvements and are therefore not assessed. These parcels include:
1567
CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1983-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 15 1) Publicly owned parcels that are reserved as public open space or are developed as City parks for active recreation and are maintained and serviced by the District; 2) Publicly owned wetland parcels;
3) Certain public utility parcels;
4) Privately owned open space parcels; and
5) Privately owned "sliver" parcels that have resulted from a lot line adjustment with an adjacent larger parcel. The adjacent larger parcels, of which these "sliver" parcels are a part, are assessed at the residential rate Assessment Methodology
The special benefits received by each parcel within the District and each parcel’s proportional annual assessment are calculated based on a formula that utilizes Equivalent Dwelling Units. The Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) method of apportionment establishes a proportional benefit relationship between the various parcels within the District and the improvements maintained by the District. The typical single family residential parcel is assigned 1.00 Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) since it represented more than 73% of the total parcels within the District.

EDUs are assigned to the other land uses based upon the property’s development status, type of development (County of Alameda land use code) and property size as shown in the table below. Parcels determined to be vacant will be assessed at a reduced rate of 50%, by multiplying the parcel’s assigned EDU factor by 0.5 (or 50%).

Single-Family Residential (SFR) – (County land use 1x) this land use identifies properties that are developed for single family residential use and are assigned a factor of 1.00 EDU per parcel. This is the base value that all other land use types are compared and weighted against (i.e., Equivalent Dwelling Unit “EDU”). This land use classification may include, but is not limited to, lots or parcels identified as single-family residential homes, planned development (tract or townhouse type), and modular/manufactured single family residential units.

STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1999-1 INTRODUCTION 1 SECTION I

INTRODUCTION
The City of Dublin (“City”) levies and collects special assessments on parcels within the City of Dublin Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 1999-1 (“District”) to maintain the public street lighting improvements within the District.

The assessments and method of apportionment described in this Report utilize commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and have been calculated and proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits received as approved by the City Council at the time the District was formed.

General Description of the District
The District was initially formed in 1999 to provide a dedicated source of funding for the ongoing maintenance of public street lighting improvements within the boundaries of the Dublin Ranch development (excluding the golf course). Tract 7067, which is the Clifden Parc development off Mountain Rise Place in the western hills of the City was annexed to the District in 2000, and Dublin Ranch Areas A and G were annexed in 2001. The remaining portions of Dublin Ranch, including areas B, C, F and H were annexed to the District in December 2005. Fallon Village (Tract 7586) was annexed to the District in 2007, and Jordan Ranch (Tract 8024, 8073 & 8074) was annexed to the District in 2011. Tract 8102, which is the Tassajara Hills Phase 1 development was annexed to the District in 2017. Tract 8563, which is the Francis Ranch development, was annexed to the District in 2023. One reason for the formation of the District was that a special decorative lighting fixture was designed and installed throughout the area to create a community element as part of the development. A Diagram showing the exterior boundaries of the District is provided within this Report.

A reduced copy of the Assessment Diagram showing the exterior boundaries of the District is provided in Part C of this Report.

Compliance with the California Constitution
Assessments are levied annually within the District pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (“1972 Act”).

All assessments described in this Report and approved by the City Council are prepared in accordance with the 1972 Act and are in compliance with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID (“Article XIIID”), which was enacted with the passage of Proposition 218 in November 1996.

The formation of this District was initiated by petition from the developer, and the City has determined it is compliant with the substantive and procedural requirements of Proposition 218 and the 1972 Act. At the time the District was formed, the property owners agreed to the inclusion of a formula for increasing assessments for each fiscal year to offset increases due to inflation as described in the assessment methodology. 1575

STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1999-1 PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS 5 PART A

PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The District provides for the continued installation, maintenance, and servicing of street lighting improvements within the public rights-of-way and within public easements within private streets which provide special benefit to parcels and properties within the District.

For the first several years after the formation of the District, this District did not incur a significant maintenance cost; however, as the streetlights age, the number of repairs are increasing. In addition, a portion of the funds collected from the annual assessments of the District are being set aside for future capital improvement project costs in a separate improvement fund referred to as a Capital Improvement Fund (CIF). The CIF was established for proposed improvements and expenditures that are greater than can be conveniently raised from a single annual assessment. Anticipated projects include LED conversions and pole painting. These funds are not considered part of the regular maintenance of the improvements or a part of the Operating Reserve Fund.

In Fiscal Year 2012-13, 321 streetlights in the District were retrofitted with new light emitting diode (LED) fixtures. The total construction cost for these improvements was $283,800. As part of this retrofit, the district received a one–time rebate amount of $39,950 from Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E).

As generally defined in the 1972 Act, maintenance and servicing of the street lighting improvements may include one or any combination of the following:
1) The installation or construction of public lighting facilities, including, but not limited to streetlights and traffic signals.
2) The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof; including but not limited to, grading, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities.
3) The maintenance or servicing, or both, of any of the foregoing including the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement, including, but not limited to:
a) Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvements; b) Grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation, repair or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities;
c) The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti; and
d) Electric current or energy, gas, or other agent for the lighting or operation of any other improvements.
4) Incidental expenses associated with the improvements including, but not limited to:
a) The cost of preparation of the report, including plans, specifications, estimates, diagram, and assessment;
1579
CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1999-1 PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS 6 b) The costs of printing, advertising, and the publishing, posting, and mailing of notices;
c) Compensation payable to the County for collection of assessments; d) Compensation of any engineer or attorney employed to render services; e) Any other expenses incidental to the construction, installation, or maintenance and servicing of the improvements; and
f) Costs associated with any elections held for the approval of a new or increased assessment.

Pursuant to the 1972 Act:
"Maintain" or "maintenance" means the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement, including repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvement. "Service" or "servicing" means the furnishing of electric current or energy, gas, or other illuminating agent for any public lighting facilities or for the lighting or operation of any other improvements.

Drawings showing the specific locations of the improvements are on file in the City’s Public Works Department and are made a part of this report by reference. 1580

STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1999-1 ESTIMATE OF COSTS 7 PART B

ESTIMATE OF COSTS
All public streetlights and other eligible improvements within the District are maintained and serviced on a regular basis. The proposed cost estimate for the District is shown on a following page herein. This includes an estimate of the costs of utilities, operations, services, administration, and maintenance associated with the improvements, including all labor, personnel, equipment, materials, and administrative expenses. The summary also shows the estimated fund balance, and the projected reserve collection increase/(decrease) based upon the estimated expenditures and assessment revenue.

Projected cost estimates are also shown for the next two (2) fiscal years.

The following describes the general services and costs shown in the cost estimate.

District Costs
Operating Supplies – The cost of supplies for ongoing maintenance and servicing of the street lighting improvements including street light repair parts and the labor associated with performing the repair work. In addition, a portion of this cost is set aside as a contingency amount for both large scheduled and unscheduled, but necessary repairs.

Contract with Alameda County – The cost of street light maintenance provided by the County of Alameda based on the current fiscal year contract.

California Street Light Association – The cost of Street Light Association dues based on relative number of lights within the District.

Utilities Electricity – The cost of streetlight electrical energy use, including miscellaneous utility charges.

Miscellaneous Expenses – Costs that cannot easily be categorized into any of the other District Costs defined above.

Legal Notices – The cost of legal notices includes costs associated with preparation and publishing of any, and all required legal notices associated with the District.

District Administration – The costs of contracting with professionals to provide services specific to the annual levy administration, including preparation of the Engineer’s Report, resolutions, and levy submittal to the County. These fees can also include any additional administrative, legal, or engineering services specific to the District, such as the cost to prepare and mail notices of the public meeting and hearing.

Public Works Administration – The cost of public works administration includes costs derived by the City’s Public Works Department or other department in relation to the administration and management of the District.
1581
CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1999-1 ESTIMATE OF COSTS 8 County Collection Fee – The cost to the District for the County to collect assessments on the annual secured property tax bills. Alameda County charges 1.7% of the total levy amount.

The following table shows the cost estimate for Fiscal Years 2026-27 and 2027-28. 1The actual assessment amount levied may be slightly less because the County only applies assessments in even pennies in order to divide the property tax bill payments into two equal installments.
2The City will contribute toward the cost of street lighting improvements that provide a general benefit to the public at large. The City contribution for street lighting along major roadways within the District is equal to 11.75% of the budget. The City contribution for the street lighting along local roadways within the District is equal to 2% of the budget. 3The City receives assessment revenue in two installments, typically in January and May.

Therefore, the City must maintain sufficient fund to cover approximately 50% of the annual budget during the period from July 1st through December 31st. 4The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 allows for the collection of funds for the repair and replacement of eligible District improvements.

STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1999-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 12 PART D

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENTS
General
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of public lights, landscaping, and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
The formula used for calculating assessments in the District therefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel. In addition, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 4:
“No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable, and an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”
Article XIIID of the California Constitution also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways, and that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private commercial, industrial, and institutional activities.

Benefit Analysis
Each of the improvements have been carefully reviewed by the City and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on special benefits received from the improvements as determined at the time the District was established.

The District provides a funding source for the operation, maintenance, servicing, and replacement of street lighting improvements authorized under the Act and that specially benefit properties within the boundaries of the District. 1586
CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1999-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 13 In order to quantify and separate the general benefits to the public at large from special benefits conferred to property by the street lighting improvements, a benefit analysis was conducted. The analysis reviewed the location, purpose, and utilization of the street lighting improvements, identified the properties benefiting from the improvements both within and outside the City, and allocated the costs to operate, maintain, service, and replace the improvements among benefiting properties within the District. Because general benefits to the public at large are not assessable under Proposition 218, any costs attributable to general benefit to the public at large must be funded by the City from sources other than the District assessments. Only those costs attributed to the special benefits conferred upon properties within the District are assessable as described in this Report.

Publicly available mapping services were utilized to determine whether the City’s major roadways are likely to be traversed by vehicular trips commencing from locations outside City limits to destinations also located outside City limits. A comprehensive analysis of viable travel routes was performed using locations outside City limits as trip origins and destinations. The analysis confirmed that most regional flow-through traffic is more likely to utilize interstate and regional transportation corridors rather than the City’s major roadway network. However, the analysis also determined that a portion of regional and commuter traffic may utilize the City’s major roadways when traveling between locations outside City limits. These findings are consistent with other traffic studies performed for the City.

As part of the benefit analysis, average daily trip generation information published by the California Department of Transportation was reviewed in conjunction with likely commuter travel routes and regional traffic patterns to estimate the proportionate level of regional flow-through traffic utilizing the City’s major roadways. The incidental and general benefits associated with such regional flow-through traffic was identified and separated from the special benefits conferred upon properties within the District.

Based upon the analysis described above, it was determined that 11.75% of the benefits associated with the street lighting improvements located along the City’s major roadways are general benefits to the public at large, including benefits associated with regional and flow-through traffic originating from outside the City. Accordingly, 11.75% of the costs attributable to those improvements must be funded from sources other than District assessments. The remaining 88.25% of the benefits associated with such improvements constitute special benefit to properties within the District, and the corresponding costs are assessable through the District in accordance with Proposition 218.

Local street lighting improvements provide illumination along in-tract areas and neighborhood streets within the City. These lighting facilities provide increased illumination for ingress and egress, improved security conditions, and protection of property located within in-tract areas and along neighborhood streets. Local street lighting improvements are located along in-tract neighborhood streets and are designed primarily to provide access to parcels within the neighborhood rather than to accommodate regional or flow-through traffic. 1587
CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1999-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 14 As a result, virtually all vehicular trips along these streets originate from or are destined for parcels located along those streets. However, it is reasonable to assume some vehicular traffic may utilize in-tract roads due to an unusual traffic pattern or a mistaken turn into a neighborhood. Although these are infrequent circumstances, they must be accounted for and cannot be assessed to properties within the District. Based on the functional design of neighborhood street networks and the low likelihood of flow-through traffic utilizing these streets, it is conservatively estimated that 98% of the trips utilizing in-tract public roads provide special benefit to parcels facing those roads, while 2% of the trips represent general benefit to the public at large. Accordingly, 98% of the annual costs associated with the operation, maintenance, servicing, and replacement of local street lighting improvements are attributed to special benefit and may be assessed to benefiting parcels, while the remaining 2% of the costs are attributed to general benefit to the public at large and will be funded through an alternative funding source.

Special Benefits – The method of apportionment (method of assessment) established herein is based on the premise that each assessed parcel within the District receives special benefits from the improvements and the desirability and security of those properties is enhanced by the presence of public lighting in close proximity to those properties.

The special benefits of street lighting and other public lighting facilities are for the convenience, safety, and security of property, improvements, and goods. Specifically:
1) Enhanced deterrence of crime and to aid police protection. 2) Increased nighttime safety on roads, streets, and public areas. 3) Improved ability of pedestrians and motorists to see. 4) Improved ingress and egress to property.
5) Reduced vandalism and other criminal acts and damage to improvements or property.
6) Improved traffic circulation and reduced nighttime accidents and personal property loss.

The preceding special benefits contribute to the aesthetic value and desirability of each of the assessed parcels within the District and thereby provide a special enhancement of the properties. Furthermore, it has been determined that the lack of funding to properly service and maintain the District improvements would have a negative impact on the properties within the District.

All the preceding special benefits contribute to a specific enhancement and desirability of each of the assessed parcels within the District.

Non-Assessable Properties – Within the boundaries of the District, there are several types of properties that are considered to receive no special benefit from the District improvements and are therefore not assessed. These parcels include:
1) Publicly owned parcels that are reserved as public open space or are developed as City parks for active recreation and are maintained and serviced by the District; 2) Publicly owned wetland parcels;
3) Certain public utility parcels;
1588
CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1999-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 15 4) Privately owned open space parcels; and
5) Privately owned "sliver" parcels that have resulted from a lot line adjustment with an adjacent larger parcel. The adjacent larger parcel, of which these "sliver" parcels are a part, are assessed at the residential rate.

Assessment Methodology
The special benefits received by each parcel within the District and each parcel’s proportional annual assessment are calculated on the basis of a formula that utilizes Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDU). The EDU method of apportionment establishes a proportional benefit relationship between the various parcels within the District and the improvements maintained by the District. The typical single-family residential parcel is assigned 1.00 EDU since it represented more than 85% of the total parcels within the District.

EDUs are assigned to the other land uses based upon the property’s development status, type of development (County of Alameda land use code) and property size as shown in the table below.

Single-Family Residential (SFR) – (County land use 1x, 2x, 7x) This land use identifies properties that are developed for single-family residential use and are assigned a factor of

1.00 EDU per parcel. This is the base value that all other land use types are compared and weighted against (i.e., EDU). This land use classification may include, but is not limited to, lots or parcels identified as single-family residential homes, condominium, vacant residential land zoned for four units or less, planned development (tract or townhouse type), and modular/manufactured single-family residential units. Developed apartments are assigned a factor of 1.00 EDU per dwelling unit. Parcels with a vacant apartment land use are treated like commercial and assessed 5.50 EDU per acre.

Commercial – (County land use 3x, 8x, 9x) This land use identifies properties that are considered improved for commercial use and are assigned a factor of 5.50 EDU per gross acre. This land use classification may include, but is not limited to, lots or parcels identified as car washes, commercial garages, automotive dealerships, parking lots, parking garages, service stations, funeral homes, nursing or boarding homes, hospitals, hotels/motels, banks, medical-dental, single and multi-story office buildings, bowling alleys, theaters, vacant commercial land, department stores, discount stores, restaurants, shopping centers, supermarkets, commercial or industrial condominium prior to sale of one unit, and miscellaneous commercial. In addition, institutional property, such as schools and other types of public property are identified within this category.

STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1999-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 16 Common Open Space – (County land use 0, 03-05, 65) This land use identifies properties that are exempt from assessment and are assigned 0.00 EDU. This land use classification may include, but is not limited to, lots or parcels identified as exempt public agencies, property leased or owned by public utilities, cemeteries, and planned development common areas.

The following formulas are used to calculate each property’s assessment:

Total Balance to Levy / Total EDUs = Levy per EDU (Rate) Parcel EDU x Levy per EDU = Parcel Levy Amount
Maximum Assessment Rate
It is recognized that the cost of maintaining the District improvements increases slightly every year because of inflation. At the time the District was formed, the property owners approved a formula for increasing assessments for each future fiscal year to offset increases in costs due to inflation.

The maximum assessment amount for each property type shall be increased each fiscal year in an amount equal to the annual percentage increase of the local San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose Area Consumer Price Index (“Index”) for “All Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers” which is applied to all costs except utilities (water and electricity), plus the actual percentage increase in utility costs (collectively, “Annual Escalation Factor”).

In order to implement the District’s Annual Escalation Factor annually, two rates were developed based on the cost estimate that was prepared at the time the property owners approved the annual escalator. The first rate (the “CPI Rate”) was created to encompass the annual District cost increases except for utilities. The second rate (the “Utility Rate”) was created to encompass the annual utility cost increases.

The Index is to be applied annually to the prior year’s maximum CPI Rate for each property type to pay for all costs except utilities. The maximum Utility Rate was established to pay for all utility costs for each property type and is to be increased annually by the percentage change in the budgeted amount for utilities as shown in the annual District’s fiscal year Engineer’s Reports. The increase in utility costs shall be calculated by taking the upcoming fiscal year’s budgeted amount for utilities and subtracting the District’s previous highest yearly budgeted amount for utilities. This difference is used to calculate the annual increase in the Utility Rate for each property type. The combination of the maximum CPI Rate and maximum Utility Rate (collectively, “Maximum Assessment Rate”) shall equal the Maximum Assessment Rate for the upcoming fiscal year. Please see Table 3 for details regarding the Maximum Assessment Rate for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

The timing of the annual percentage increase of the Index was changed beginning in 2018 and for each year thereafter for administrative purposes, to ensure the City is 1590
CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1999-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 17 allowed the time necessary to have all annual documents prepared and approved by the City Council by June of each year, and to meet both County submittal and statutory requirements. Each fiscal year starting in 2018, the City shall identify the annual percentage difference in the Index between the most recent calendar year and that of the prior calendar year; more specifically, the annual percentage change used to escalate the prior year’s assessment rates for Fiscal Year 2026-27 was determined based on the difference using the annual amount for calendar years 2026 and 2025. Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such Index or discontinue the preparation of such Index, the City shall use the revised index or comparable index as approved by the City Council for determining fluctuations in the cost of living. The following table shows the Maximum Assessment Rates allowable for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

If the City Council determines that an inflation adjustment is not required for a given fiscal year, the City Council may authorize the ensuing fiscal year’s assessment without applying the adjustment formula to the amount levied. If the cost estimate and assessments for the District require an increase greater than the adjustment set forth in the formula, then the proposed increase would be subject to approval by the District property owners. Each fiscal year, the maximum assessment rate shall increase at the CPI for 2025 Calendar Year1 343.886

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT: Agreement with the County of Alameda for Fiscal Year 2026-27 Additional Library Services
Prepared by: Jennifer Staffa, Management Analyst II
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council will consider approving an agreement with the County of Alameda to provide 23 hours of library services per week at the Dublin Public Library for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

These hours are in addition to the County’s base service level of 28 hours per week. There is no change in the number of hours from the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Agreement.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the Resolution Approving an Agreement With the County of Alameda for Additional Library Services for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The City’s cost to fund 23 additional operating hours of library services during Fiscal Year 2026-27 is $739,028. Sufficient funding was included in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget.

DESCRIPTION:

Through an operational agreement executed in October 2002, the County of Alameda operates library-related activities in the Dublin Library building. It also provides equipment related to the general operation of the Library, while the City owns and maintains the building.

On an annual basis, the City and County enter into an agreement for operational hours.

The County of Alameda provides a base service level of 28 weekly operating hours. The City of Dublin has consistently provided funding to the County to extend the number of hours the Library is open to the public. As proposed, the City would continue to provide funding for an additional 23 operating hours per week, excluding County-observed holidays, for a total of 51 operating hours per week. This level of service has remained consistent since Fiscal Year 1594

Page 2 of 2 ends

2016-17, except for temporary operating hour reductions during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Library has operated at 51 hours per week since returning to regular service levels in September 2021.

The Library adjusts its funding requests as needed to account for changes related to staffing and operational costs. For Fiscal Year 2026-27, the County increased its funding request by 5% to $739,028. The increase applies to all cities served by the Alameda County Library, reflecting the County staff’s cost-of-living adjustments and utility costs increases. The table below provides a five-year history of City funding levels for additional Library Services.

SUBJECT: Dublin Library/Civic Center Public Art Mural Project – Approval of Artwork and Public Art Agreement
Prepared by: Shaun Chilkotowsky, Parks & Community Services Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council will review the proposed artwork for the Dublin Library/Civic Center Public Art Mural Project and consider adopting a resolution approving a Public Art Agreement with Rough Edge Collective. The proposed artwork is a permanent outdoor mural located on a utility enclosure adjacent to the Dublin Library and is part of the Outdoor Murals Project (CIP No.

PA0125).

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the Resolution Approving the Public Art Agreement With Rough Edge Collective for the Dublin Library/Civic Center Public Art Mural Project.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The Outdoor Murals Project has a budget of $200,000 funded by the Public Art Fund. Approval of the proposed agreement would allocate $40,000 for the artist commission at the Dublin Library, leaving a balance of $160,000 for additional mural projects at other City facilities.

DESCRIPTION:

Background
The 2024-2029 Capital Improvement Program Update includes the Outdoor Murals Project (CIP No. PA0125) to provide painted murals on certain structures, such as backup generators and other utility enclosures, at various City facilities. The project allocates $200,000 from the Public Art Fund for this purpose.

The first artwork in the program will be a permanent, outdoor mural on the generator enclosure located in the parking lot adjacent to the Dublin Library. Once complete, this mural will be added to the City’s permanent Public Art Collection and will be preserved and maintained by 1611

Development of Project Goals
On May 8, 2025 the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission reviewed the mural project planned for the generator enclosure adjacent to the Dublin Library. The purpose of this review was to identify criteria and goals specific to this mural project as the initial RFQ was broad in scope. The Commission provided feedback on objectives, themes, and other relevant information related to the mural project. The theme developed for this project was “Our Story Begins with Imagination.” Specific project goals and proposal instructions were developed using feedback from the Commission.

Ad Hoc Selection Committee
An Ad Hoc Selection Committee, consisting of nine community members with varying levels of artistic background, was formed to review the artists’ proposals. On June 18, 2025 the Selection Committee reviewed portfolios from the initial RFQ. Based on project goals developed for the project and other factors, including the artist’s past projects, the Selection Committee identified five artists who were asked to develop site-specific design proposals. The Selection Committee reconvened on August 20, 2025 to review the site-specific design proposals. After deliberation, three proposals were selected for consideration.

Community Outreach
A public survey was conducted to increase community engagement and to gather community feedback on the three finalist proposals. The survey was available from September 3, 2025 through September 14, 2025. The survey was shared via traditional communication channels, including the City’s website, news flash, posting at City facilities, and at the Dublin Library.

Over 700 responses were received, and the feedback was shared with the artists.

Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission Review
On November 13, 2025 the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission reviewed the three proposals from the project finalists. Following artist presentations, review of community feedback, and deliberation, the Commission selected the proposal by Rough Edge Collective by a 4-2 vote for recommendation to the City Council. The two Commissioners who voted no were primarily in favor of the proposals that had more of a nature and/or landscape focus. The Commissioners that voted in favor of the proposal by Rough Edge Collective felt it best achieved project goals and was different than any of the artworks in the City’s Public Art Collection.

City Council Review
On January 13, 2026 the City Council reviewed the initial proposal developed by Rough Edge Collective. While generally in favor of the proposal as presented, the City Council provided direction to further refine the proposal to ensure accurate representation of Dublin’s diverse cultures and demographics.

Rough Edge Collective Design Proposal
Rough Edge Collective is a mural team led by Joshua Lawyer and MJ Lindo-Lawyer. Based in the North Bay, Rough Edge Collective has completed numerous murals throughout the greater Bay Area, Northern California, and beyond. Rough Edge Collective’s works are 100% original and handcrafted and often transform dull walls into vibrant focal points that celebrate the human experience. The proposed “Of Stories Told” mural would be painted on all four sides of the utility enclosure, totaling approximately 950 square feet.

The mural centers on four figures, each existing in a different world yet connected through the timeless power of storytelling and in the shared language of humanity. The design begins with a child immersed in a book, followed by three figures that organically transition around the utility enclosure. The mural is intended to celebrate not only what unites a community, but also the vibrant spectrum of what sets individuals apart. The full proposal is included in Attachment

2. Feedback received during the community outreach period was overwhelmingly positive.

Respondents praised its vibrant, bold colors and modern style, as well as its inclusive representation of Dublin’s diverse community. The child reading was highlighted as an appropriate tie to the library’s purpose. Suggested refinements included ensuring an accurate reflection of Dublin’s growing cultural and geographic diversity, in addition to its history.

Proposal Refinement
Based on feedback received during the community outreach period, as well as feedback from the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission and City Council, adjustments were made to the proposal, including revisions to the figures’ details. The refined proposal also incorporated native finches, which add a sense of movement throughout the piece. Additionally, a red ribbon weaves throughout the design, subtly and symbolically connecting the figures across the story.

Public Art Agreement
To formalize project details, a Public Art Agreement (Attachment 2) has been prepared that identifies City and Artist requirements, the project timeline, payment schedule, and the artist’s final design proposal. It is anticipated that painting will begin in July or August 2026.

1.3 Assignment of Personnel. Artist shall assign only competent personnel to perform services pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that City, in its sole discretion, at any time during the term of this Agreement, desires the reassignment of any such persons, Artist shall, immediately upon receiving notice from City of such desire of City, reassign such person or persons.

1.4 Time. Artist shall devote such time to the performance of services pursuant to this Agreement as may be reasonably necessary to meet the standard of performance provided in Section 1.1 above and to satisfy Artist’s obligations hereunder.

In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and Artist’s proposal, attached as Exhibit A, regarding the amount of compensation, the Agreement shall prevail. City shall pay Artist for 1617
3 Public Art Agreement
services rendered pursuant to this Agreement at the time and in the manner set forth herein. The payments specified in Exhibit C shall be the only payments from City to Artist for services rendered pursuant to this Agreement. Artist shall submit all invoices to City in the manner specified herein.

Artist and City acknowledge and agree that compensation paid by City to Artist under this Agreement is based upon Artist’s estimated costs of providing the services required hereunder, including salaries and benefits of employees and subcontractors of Artist.

Consequently, the parties further agree that compensation hereunder is intended to include the costs of contributions to any pensions and/or annuities to which Artist and its employees, agents, and subcontractors may be eligible. City therefore has no responsibility for such contributions beyond compensation required under this Agreement.

City shall make no payment for any extra, further, or additional service pursuant to this Agreement.

In no event shall Artist submit any invoice for an amount in excess of the maximum amount of compensation provided above either for a task or for the entire Agreement, unless the Agreement is modified prior to the submission of such an invoice by a properly executed change order or amendment.

3.3 Payment of Taxes. Artist is solely responsible for the payment of employment taxes incurred under this Agreement and any similar federal or state taxes.

3.4 Payment upon Termination. In the event that the City or Artist terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 17, the City shall compensate the Artist for all outstanding costs and reimbursable expenses incurred for work satisfactorily completed as of the date of written notice of termination.

3.5 Authorization to Perform Services. The Artist is not authorized to perform any services or incur any costs whatsoever under the terms of this Agreement until receipt of authorization from the Contract Administrator.

4. FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT. Except as set forth herein, Artist shall, at his/her sole cost and expense, provide all facilities and equipment that may be necessary to perform the services required by this Agreement. City shall make available to Artist only the facilities and equipment listed in Exhibit B, and only under the terms and conditions set forth herein.

5. RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ARTIST

5.1 The Artist agrees that an essential element of this Agreement is the skill and creativity of the Artist. The Artist shall not assign the creative or artistic portions of the Work to another party for the production of the Work without the written consent of the City. Failure to conform to this provision may be cause for termination of this Agreement, at the sole option of the City.

5.2 The Artist shall be responsible for providing services described in Exhibit B, including but not limited to, the quality and timely completion of the services. As part of the Work, Artist shall be responsible for designing the Work, as described in Exhibit A, so that it can be constructed without exceeding the approved overall budget for the Work of $40,000. The Artist shall, without additional compensation, correct or revise any errors, omissions, or other deficiencies in his/her Work.

5.3 The Artist shall complete the fabrication and installation of the Work in substantial conformity with the attached Exhibit B, Scope of Work.

5.4 The risk of loss or damage to the Work shall be borne by the Artist until final acceptance by City. The Artist shall take such measures as are necessary to protect the Work from loss or damage until final acceptance by City.

6. TIMELY PROVISION OF SERICES; DAMAGES FOR DELAYED
PERFORMANCE. The parties agree that in the performance of the terms and requirements of this Agreement by the Artist that time is of the essence. Artist shall devote such time to the performance of services pursuant to this Agreement as may be reasonably necessary for satisfactory performance of Artist's obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

6.1 Damages for Delayed Performance. Subject to reasonable proof and documentation confirming the same submitted by the City, Artist shall be liable for all incidental and consequential damages resulting, directly or indirectly, from delays in performance caused by Artist's acts or omissions. Damages may include, but are not limited to the cost to retrofit the Work installation area should Artist not meet installation schedule as specified in Exhibit B. The Artist shall not be liable to City for damages resulting from delays caused by force majeure or by acts or omissions of City, Architect or the General Contractor; or third party vandalism, except to the extent Artist failed reasonably to mitigate such damages. Illness, Injury, Death or Incapacity.

Should Artist die, become ill, injured or otherwise incapacitated (collectively, “incapacitated”) such that Artist is unable to work for any period not exceeding 30 days (whether consecutive or non-consecutive), any delay arising out of such incapacity will be allowed by City whenever it is 1619
5 Public Art Agreement
practicable to do so, considering the facts and circumstances of the Work, the Project, the Architect, the General Contractor and the Client. City may require Artist to provide medical certification of any claimed incapacity. In the event Artist is incapacitated such that Artist is unable to work for a period exceeding a total of 30 days (whether consecutive or nonconsecutive), City may, at its option, undertake to complete and install the Work in Artist’s absence, so long as the final Work is substantially similar to that designed by Artist. If City undertakes to complete the Work, City shall give due consideration to Artist’s suggestions, and Artist may disclaim authorship of the Work. If City exercises its option to implement the Work in Artist’s absence, any compensation paid or payable to Artist shall be reduced by the costs and expenditures of City in completion and installation of the Work. In case of incapacity exceeding 30 days, the following person shall be Artist’s representative vis-à-vis the City for purposes of this Section 6 unless otherwise directed in writing by the Artist:

Name: Maria-Jose Lindo Lawyer and Joshua Lawyer
Address 621 Avalon Avenue
City, State, ZIP Santa Rosa, CA 95407
Phone: 707-508-8254
Email: [email protected]

7. APPROVAL AND FINAL ACCEPTANCE OF WORK. Payment does not imply acceptance of work. The granting of any payment by City, or the receipt thereof by Artist, shall in no way lessen the liability of Artist to replace unsatisfactory work, equipment, or materials, although the unsatisfactory character of such work, equipment or materials may not have been apparent or detected at the time such payment was made. Materials, equipment, components, or workmanship that does not conform to the requirements of this Agreement may be rejected by City and in such case must be replaced by Artist without as soon as possible.

7.1 The granting or withholding of any approval by the City shall be determined by the City in its sole and reasonable discretion. However, the City shall approve all deliverables if they materially conform to plans or Contract Documents previously approved by the City. If the City withholds approval of any deliverables or Phase, in addition to other rights or remedies available to the City under the Agreement or applicable law, the City shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately and shall have no further obligations under this Agreement.

7.2 Final Acceptance. Artist shall advise the City in writing when Artist has completed all obligations, services and deliverables under this Agreement and all modifications.

The City promptly shall send a Notice of Response identifying in writing any obligations, services, or deliverables that Artist has not satisfactorily met, any defects in Artist’s performance, and the requirements for Artist to cure any such default. Artist shall have twenty (20) days from dispatch of the Notice of Response to cure any defects in Artist’s performance identified in the City’s Notice of Response. The Work shall not be officially accepted by City unless the City has issued a resolution of Final Acceptance. City shall make a good faith effort to make a determination as to Final Acceptance promptly. Final Acceptance occurs once Work is delivered and installing in consultation with Parks Department, and City and inspected and approved the Work.
1620
6 Public Art Agreement

7.3 Public Art Collection. Upon Final Acceptance, the City shall accession the Work into the Public Art Collection.

8. WARRANTIES/STANDARDS

8.1 Unique. Artist warrants that the design of the Work as expressed in the Proposal, Exhibit A, is an edition of one, and that neither Artist nor Artist’s agents will execute or authorize another to execute another work of the same or substantially similar image, design, dimensions and materials as the Work. Artist may create works that utilize or incorporate various individual art elements that comprise the Work, so long as the work utilizing or incorporating such individual elements (1) does not consist predominantly of such elements, (2) is not the same or substantially similar in image, design, dimensions and materials as the Work, and (3) is not displayed in an environment that is the same or substantially similar to the environment in which the Work is to be displayed at the site.

8.2 Warranty of Title. Artist represents and warrants that Artist is the sole author of the Work and that Artist is the sole owner of any and all copyrights pertaining to the Work.

Artist further represents that the Work is free and clear of any liens and that there are no outstanding disputes in connection with property rights, intellectual property rights or any other rights in the Work or any parts of the Work.

8.3 The Artist shall faithfully perform the work required under this Agreement in accordance with standards of care, skill, training, diligence, and judgment provided by highly competent professionals who perform work of a similar nature to the Work described in this Agreement. Artist shall assign only competent personnel to perform services pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that City, in its sole discretion, at any time during the term of this Agreement, desires the removal of any such persons, Artist shall, immediately upon receiving notice from City of such desire of City, cause the removal of such person or persons, unless in the Artist's sole opinion, the skill or creativity of such person or persons is essential to the creation of the Work.

8.4 Warranty of Workmanship. The Artist shall guarantee his/her Work to be free from faults of material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year after installation and Final Acceptance by the City. The Artist shall deliver the Work to the City free and clear of any liens from any source whatsoever. The foregoing guarantees shall apply only to the Work that is entirely that of the Artist or persons responsible to the Artist, as installed, and shall not apply to materials or workmanship of projects in which the Work of the Artist is integrated or combined, or to materials purchased, acquired, or installed by a person or entity not responsible to the Artist.

8.5 Warranty of Public Safety. Artist represents and warrants that the Work will not pose a danger to public health or safety in view of the possibility of misuse, if such misuse is in a manner that was reasonably foreseeable at any time during the term of this Agreement.

8.6 Warranty of Acceptable Standard of Display and Operation. Artist represents and warrants that:
1621
7 Public Art Agreement

8.6.1 Occasional or minimal cleaning and repair of the Work and any associated working parts and/or equipment will maintain the Work within an acceptable standard of public display;

8.6.2 Foreseeable exposure to the elements and general wear and tear will cause the Work to experience only minor repairable damages and will not cause the Work to fall below an acceptable standard of public display; and

8.6.3 With general routine cleaning and repair, and within the context of foreseeable exposure to the elements and general wear and tear, the Work will not experience irreparable conditions that do not fall within an acceptable standard of public display, including mold, rust, fracturing, staining, chipping, tearing, abrading and peeling.

8.7 Manufacturer’s Warranties. To the extent the Work incorporates products covered by a manufacturer’s warranty, Artist shall provide copies of such warranties to City.

9. MAINTENANCE OF WORK

9.1 Unless specifically provided in this Agreement, Artist shall not be responsible for ongoing maintenance of the Work.

9.2 Artist shall provide the City with a General Maintenance Plan for the Work, with a detailed description of future anticipated maintenance requirements; a recommended maintenance schedule; anticipated and required care and/or replacement/upgrade of any part of the Work and associated moving parts or equipment including any staff time involved in displaying or operating Work and the frequency of such staff involvement; and written instructions and manufacturer’s specifications for reasonably foreseeable maintenance and preservation activities relating to the Work.

9.3 The Work shall be durable, taking into consideration that the installation site is an unsecured public space that may be exposed to elements such as weather, temperature variation, and considerable movement of people and equipment. Artist shall ensure that all maintenance requirements will be reasonable in terms of time and expense.

9.4 Although City strives to maintain the Public Art Collection in good repair and condition, City is not required by this Agreement to maintain the Work to any particular standard. City may determine to allow the Work to deteriorate in accordance with the Work’s temporary life span, if deemed appropriate by City or if City lacks sufficient funds for required maintenance and/or conservation. If the Work suffers deterioration, City shall have sole discretion to determine whether to remove the Work from display as a result of deterioration, whether to replace any portion of the Work or translate any component into new media, or whether to maintain the Work on display despite its deteriorated condition.

9.5 The anticipated life span of the Work is 25 years from the date of final acceptance by the City. After that time, the City in its sole discretion may re-evaluate the Work to determine if it retains its identity as a work of art and, if not, whether to take appropriate action, including the possibility of destroying the Work. If the City determines that, through decay, vandalism or 1622
8 Public Art Agreement
other forces, the Work has lost its integrity to the point where it should be destroyed, the City shall first offer the Work to Artist free of charge and in writing.

10. ARTIST’S RIGHTS; CITY’S OWNERSHIP RIGHTS

10.1 Artwork Removal. The Work may be removed from the Site at any time. Artist acknowledges and understands that the installation of the Work at the Site may subject the Work to destruction, distortion, mutilation, or other modification due to the acts of the City or third parties or to its removal, repair, maintenance, storage, or transfer of ownership.

10.2 The City intends to display the Work as originally created by Artist in Exhibit A and to maintain the Work in good condition. Public artworks commissioned by the City are sometimes integrated into their site, such that they become an integral, permanent and site-specific part of a building’s architecture or landscaped environment and removal of the Work would result in significant changes to the Work and the building’s architecture. City, however, shall preserve complete flexibility to operate and manage City property in the public’s interest.

Therefore, City retains the absolute right to alter the Work in City’s sole judgment. For example, City may alter the Work to eliminate hazard, to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, to otherwise aid City in the management of its property and affairs, or through neglect or accident. If, during or after the term of this Agreement, City finds the Site to be inappropriate, City has the right to install the Work at an alternate location that City chooses in its sole discretion. If the Work is free-standing such that it can be removed without significant damage to the Work or the Site, and if the City authorizes the removal of the Work, the City shall take reasonable precautions to minimize alteration of the Work during removal.

10.3 With respect to the Work produced under this Agreement, and in consideration of the procedures and remedies specified in this Agreement, Artist waives any and all claims, arising at any time and under any circumstances, against City, its officers, agents, employees, successors and assigns, arising under the federal Visual Artists Rights Act (and 113(d)), the California Art Preservation Act (Cal. Civil Code §§987 et seq.), and any other local, state, federal, or international laws that convey rights of the same nature as those conveyed under 17 U.S.C. §106A, Cal. Civil Code §§987 et seq., or any other type of moral right protecting the integrity of works of art. If the Work is incorporated into a building such that the Work cannot be removed from the building without alteration of the Work, Artist waives any and all such claims against any future owners of the site, and its agents, officers and employees, for alteration of the Work. Artist shall provide City with aforementioned waivers prior to the commencement of work.

10.4 If City intends to take any action with respect to the site or the Work that would alter the Work, other than routine cleaning and maintenance, the following procedures shall apply:

10.4.1 Notice. Where time permits, City shall make reasonable good faith efforts to notify Artist at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to authorizing any alteration of the Work, at the last phone number or address provided by Artist to the City’s Contract Administrator.

Where time does not permit prior to alteration of the Work – for example, in cases of public 1623
9 Public Art Agreement
hazard, accident or unauthorized alteration – City shall notify Artist within thirty (30) calendar days after such alteration.

10.4.2 Consultation. After receiving such notice, Artist shall consult with City to determine whether the Work can be restored or relocated, and to attempt to come to a mutually agreeable plan for disposition of the Work. Such consultation shall be without charge by Artist unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing. If City intends to remove the Work, Artist shall consult regarding methods to minimize or repair any Alteration to the Work caused by such removal and the potential costs of such removal.

10.4.3 Restoration. If the Work is altered, with or without prior notice to Artist, and City intends to maintain the Work on display, City shall make a reasonable good faith effort to engage Artist in the restoration of the Work and to compensate Artist for Artist’s time and efforts at fair market value, which may be the subject of a future Agreement between Artist and City. However, City has no obligation under this Agreement to restore the Work to its original condition, to compensate Artist for any restoration work, or to maintain the Work on display. If Artist fails or refuses to negotiate with City in good faith with respect to any restoration, City may contract with any other qualified art conservator or artist for such restoration. During Artist’s lifetime, City shall make best efforts not to display or de-accession only a portion of the Work without Artist’s consent.

10.4.4 Removal by Artist. Where time permits, if City intends to take action that will destroy or significantly alter the Work, such as destruction of all or part of the site, and City determines that it will not remove the Work itself, City shall allow Artist to remove the Work at Artist’s expense within 60 days of notice from the City of the need to remove the Work, in which case title shall revert to Artist. If Artist fails to remove the Work within that 60 day period, City may alter the Work in any manner, including destroying it, in City’s sole discretion.

10.4.5 Remedies. If City breaches any of its obligations under this Section, Artist’s remedies shall be limited as follows: If City inadvertently fails to provide a required prior notice of alteration, City will provide notice as soon as it discovers the omission, and before alteration of the Work if that remains possible. If City alters the Work without providing Artist a required prior notice of alteration, Artist shall be given the first right of refusal to restore the Work at the same location and City shall make reasonable efforts to provide funding for the restoration. If City funds cannot be made available after reasonable efforts are made to secure such funding, Artist may, but is not obligated to, restore the Work at Artist’s expense. If Artist elects not to restore the Work, City may retain another artist or conservator to restore it, or may Alter the Work in any manner, at City’s sole discretion.

10.5 If City alters the Work without Artist’s consent in a manner that is prejudicial to Artist’s reputation, Artist retains the right to disclaim authorship of the Work in accordance with California Civil Code §987(d) and 17 U.S.C. §106A(a)(2).

10.6 Except as provided in this Agreement, with respect to third parties who are not officers, employees, agents, successors or assigns of City, Artist retains Artist’s moral rights in the Work, as established in the Visual Artists Rights Act (17 U.S.C. §§106A and 113(d)), the California Art Preservation Act (Cal. Civil Code §§987 and 989), or any other local, state, 1624
10 Public Art Agreement
federal or international moral rights laws that protect the integrity of works of art. Accordingly, nothing herein shall prevent Artist from pursuing a claim for alteration of the Work against a third party who is not an officer, employee, agent, successor or assign of City. City has no obligation to pursue claims against third parties to remedy or prevent alteration of the Work.

However, as owner of the Work, City may pursue claims against third parties for damages or to restore the Work if the Work has been altered without City’s authorization.

11. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PUBLICITY RIGHTS

11.1 Copyright. Subject to usage rights and licenses granted to City hereunder, Artist shall retain all 17 U.S.C. §106 copyrights in all original works of authorship produced under this Agreement. Artist’s copyright shall not extend to predominantly utilitarian aspects of the Work, such as landscaping elements, furnishings, or other similar objects. If Artist is comprised of two or more individual persons, the individual persons shall be deemed joint authors of the Work.

11.1.1 Artist agrees that all work performed under this Agreement shall comply with all applicable patent, trademark and copyright laws, rules, regulations and codes of the State of California and the United States. Artist hereby represents and warrants that the work does not, and Artist has not and will not, utilize any protected patent, trademark or copyright in performance under this Agreement unless and until Artist has obtained proper permission and all releases and other necessary documents.

Nothing hereunder shall be construed to constrain Artist from creating posters, note cards, or other reproductions of the Work with appropriate credit to the City.

14. INDEMNIFICATION AND ARTIST’S RESPONSIBILITIES. Artist shall indemnify, defend with counsel mutually selected by the City and Artist, and hold harmless the City and its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all losses, liability, claims, suits, actions, damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Artist or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for 1629
15 Public Art Agreement
which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The foregoing obligation of Artist shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law arises wholly from the negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Artist or its employees, subcontractor, or agents have contributed in no part to the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law. It is understood that the duty of Artist to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Artist from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance policies are determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement, Artist acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration.

In the event that Artist or any employee, agent, or subcontractor of Artist providing services under this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees Retirement System (“PERS”) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of City, Artist shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Artist or its employees, agents, or subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions, which would otherwise be the responsibility of City.

Notwithstanding any other city, state, or federal policy, rule, regulation, law, or ordinance to the contrary, Artist and any of its employees, agents, and subcontractors providing services under this Agreement shall not qualify for or become entitled to, and hereby agree to waive any and all claims to, any compensation, benefit, or any incident of employment by City, including but not limited to eligibility to enroll in the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) as an employee of City and entitlement to any contribution to be paid by City for employer contributions and/or employee contributions for PERS benefits.

Where applicable, Artist shall post a copy of the prevailing wage rates at the Site or material staging area.

Workers employed in work covered by prevailing wage must be paid at the rates at least equal to the prevailing wage rates as adopted. If Artist uses a craft or classification not shown on the prevailing wage determinations, Artist may be required to pay the wage rate of that craft or classification most closely related to it as shown in the general determinations effective at the time of award of this Agreement. Failure to pay such prevailing wages shall subject the employer to the penalties set forth in Labor Code Section 1775.

5 Wednesday, August 20, 2025 “Of Stories Told” A Rough Edge Collectiveproposal by Joshua Lawyer and MJ Lindo-Lawyer 1638
Rough Edge Collective We are Rough Edge Collective, Maria-Jose (MJ) Lindo-Lawyer and Joshua Lawyer. As children of immigrant families, we each became obsessed with creating the world we wanted to see. We were inspired to study and learn everything we could about art from a young age. This passion has given us opportunities beyond our wildest dreams, allowing us the fortune to pursue our passion and become full-time muralists since 2019. We have had the honor to create for our own communities and the privilege to travel the world, installing murals in countries across the globe. 1639
Rough Edge Collective Design titled
‘Of Stories Told’
1640
Our story begins with a child, completely immersed in a book—transported beyond the page into new worlds, new ideas, and the lives of people from different cultures, beliefs, and experiences. This design seeks to honor the quiet, extraordinary power of stories—the way they reach across borders and differences to touch something deeply human in all of us. Books become more than pages; they become portals, weaving connection through curiosity, empathy, and wonder. Here, we celebrate not only what unites us, but also the vibrant spectrum of what sets us apart. In our shared stories and our singular voices, we find the true beauty of being human. 1641
The second figures, ‘The Oracle’s’ The design has been revised in response to feedback from the Arts Council to more accurately represent the diversity of Dublin’s population and the city’s historical and cultural heritage. 1642
The fourth figure is a woman defined by strength and unwavering purpose. She moves through the world like a force of nature—part superhero, part visionary— unafraid to stand for what’s right and shape what’s possible. She’s the one you root for in every story, the kind of cool that doesn’t chase attention but commands it. Her confidence lingers, like a spark you hope might catch, so you too can step forward with a strength you never knew was yours. 1643
Each of these figures lives in a different world, yet through the timeless power of storytelling, they are connected—finding common ground in the shared language of humanity. Our goal was to depict figures that felt historic and magical. Stories that captured myths that felt familiar, as if someone we grew up with. But most importantly, to highlight the importance of storytelling, and how this human trait allows us to truly find freedom, adventure, and understanding.
1644
We introduced local birds to add a sense of movement throughout the piece, while a red ribbon weaves through the narrative, subtly and symbolically connecting the figures across our story. 1645
We want to complete the narrative of the bird carrying the red thread as a continuous through-line. The three figures represent stages of being: the first embodies curiosity, the second youthful courage, and the third the depth of age—where identity is shaped by history and an appreciation for culture. To bring the piece full circle, we imagine the final bird landing on a nest. This gesture suggests both an ending and a beginning, creating a quiet sense of renewal. The thread, carried across each stage, becomes part of something enduring— implying a cyclical nature of life, where each phase contributes to what comes next. 1646
The following slides are the super imposed images around the structure. This is meant to show how the design will turn the corners and transition from one part of the narrative to the next. 1647

We wanted it to feel organic and transition from a cool tone to a warm tone. We also wanted the door to be easily visible based on the chemical placard and the understanding that if any issues were to happen, that the fire department or any emergency agencies could easily identify the doors. 1649
We thank you so much for this special opportunity and happily welcome any questions or comments about our proposal. We look forward to continuing to collaborate on this project and hope to hear from you soon. (707) 508-8254 www.mjlindoart.com www.joshualawyer.com [email protected] 1650
