defines its 2010 vision in seven broad, yet interdependent goals, including: Economic
Vitality; Enhancement of Open Space, Agriculture, and Environmental Quality; Vital
Centers and Connected Neighborhoods; Housing Choices; Regional Mobility; Educational
Opportunity; and Regional Collaboration.
Mr. Foss introduced Executive Director Tom O'Malley.
Mr. O'Malley thanked the City for its financial support in getting started on this project.
They wanted to make this project as inclusionary as possible. A lot of people volunteered
to work on this program. They've received good support wherever they've made their
presentations. Their goal is 70% open space and 30% developed urban properties at
buildout. They will provide annual reports at the end of each year.

Tim Hunt covered the action plans. He stated they will be looking at a ballot measure in
November to do something to ratify the 70%/:30% and creating certainty. They don't yet
know what will be in the ballot measure, but stated they would covet the City Council's
ideas. They will be looking at development rights and creating a way for everybody to
win. They will be looking for endorsements from the cities, towns and Boards of
Supervisors. They will work with local planning staffs to help people think a little
differently to use our land efficiently. They will be looking at key transportation
improvements which are critical. Business infrastructure will also be looked at. They
have a very active education committee to identify what's out here. They will utilize an
internet based catalog. He summarized that this is a snapshot of what they're looking at
this year.
Cm. Zika asked about the ballot measure and if this will be advisory. He also asked how
it will be enforced.
Mr. Hunt stated this is something that is on the table for discussion. They think a lot of
the uncertainty around here is because a lot of people don't know what the future is.
This will put more certainty to it.
Mayor Houston stated he applauded the win/Win situation. With regard to the idea of an
irrigation district, people should be told exactly what this means, and how we will
accomplish this is very important.
Mr. O'Malley stated they are working on coming up with a plan and how to finance it.
They'll have the answers by ballot time in August.
Mayor Houston stated this is an infrastructure issue that we'll have to work out with the
state and a lot of jurisdictions.
Mr. O'Malley stated they are looking at plans and how to come up with a model for
cooperative agreements.
Vice Mayor Lockhart asked about transportation issues and stated we would all like to see
BART going to Livermore. She asked if they had received any feedback from Livermore
on how they plan to be transit friendly and if BART would even consider them.
Mr. O'Malley stated they are looking at a transit hub and Livermore is very strongly
behind this.
The Council thanked Mr. O'Malley and Mr. Hunt for the very good presentation.

PUBLIC HEARING
NO PARKING ZONE ON VILLAGE PARKWAY
AT NEW I~680 ON~RAMP SOUTH OF DUBLIN BOULEVARD
Mayor Houston moved this item forward on the agenda to right after consent calendar.
7:39 p.m. 6.4 (570~20)
Mayor Houston opened the public hearing.
Public Works Director Lee Thompson presented the Staff Report and advised that the new
on~ramp from Village Parkway to 1-680 is expected to open within the next several
weeks. It will be necessary to prohibit parking adjacent to the ramp for safety purposes
and because striping the new left turn lane for the ramp will require shifting the through
lanes over into the area that is currently available for parking.
Mr. Thompson advised that the cost of installing red curb will be paid through the
interchange project.
Mr. Thompson stated notification of this proposed no parking area was distributed to
adjacent businesses and Staff received at least one telephone call from a person who
works in the area objecting to the No Parking zone.
Karla Henderlong stated she has been a tenant in the building located at 6400 Village
Parkway since 1989, and she was present on behalf of a number of tenants of the
building. They are protesting removing the street parking because a number of them
work at night and this is a safety issue. Their parking lot is completely blocked from the
street. This area is largely deserted and right next to a freeway onramp. She spoke with
a friend who is an Attorney and he was really incredulous that the Council was
considering removing the only safe parking for people working in this building. Even
though the Council can make this decision, they would not be shielded from liability by
making this decision. She stated they would support restricted hours of parking. She
suggested that perhaps this could be postponed in order for the Council to consider and
understand their concerns.
Mayor Houston closed the public hearing.
Vice Mayor Lockhart asked about parking in front of the building during non-commute
hours.

Mr. Thompson stated the problem is they would be parking in a through lane. The
alternate would be to only have one lane. Staff thinks there will be enough traffic that a
left turn lane will be needed there.
Cm. Zika asked if this will be a signalized intersection.
Mr. Thompson stated not right away, but perhaps at some point in the future.
Cm. McCormick asked if lighting in the parking lot would make a difference.
Cm. Zika stated he felt we could possibly do nothing now and wait until traffic backs up
and then address the situation.
Mayor Houston stated he felt it makes sense that the first portion going south will have
the most traffic. He felt we could go without not restricting the parking in front of the
building and this would solve the problem for right now. He asked about the width of
Village Parkway there.
Mr. Thompson responded it is about 40 feet.
Mayor Houston stated he felt we would take maybe 2 spaces out to improve the line of
sight. He doesn't see any reason to take the rest of this parking right now.
Vice Mayor Lockhart stated she felt we could just monitor this and if it proves to be a
problem, we could revisit it.
Mayor Houston indicated he was in favor of leaving spaces in front of the building and
just taking the spaces to keep the line of sight open.
Cm. Zika stated he thought we might as well leave the spaces on the east side. We should
look at monitoring the parking if it gets to be a problem.
Mr. Ambrose stated Staff can rewrite the Resolution and put it on the Consent Calendar
for the next meeting.
On motion of Cm. McCormick, seconded by Mayor Houston, and by unanimous vote
(Cm. Howard absent), the Council directed Staff to bring back at the next Council
meeting, an appropriate Resolution modified as discussed.

ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 8.84
SIGN REGULATIONS OF THE DUBLIN MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING
TO VEHICLE SIGNS AND TEMPORARY PROMOTIONAL SIGNAGE
RELATED TO BALLOONS, PENNANTS AND STREAMERS PA 98~058
7:57 p.m. 6.1 (400-30)
Mayor Houston opened the public hearing.
Community Development Director Eddie Peabody presented the Staff Report and advised
that on December 21, 1999, the City Council introduced an Ordinance pertaining to
vehicle signs and temporary promotional signage related to balloons, pennants and
streamers. Subject to a zoning clearance, this Ordinance would: 1) Balloons ~ allow
balloons smaller than 15" in diameter in commercial and industrial zones provided that
they not be displayed more than 10' above the ground. 2) Allow balloons and inflatable
devices over 15" in diameter for promotional events for up to 21 calendar days per year
if they are ground mounted with the bottom of the balloon touching the ground. 3)
Prohibit streamers and pennants. 4) Change the temporary promotional sign permit time
to 15 days of display time with no new permit for a 30~day period.
Mr. Peabody stated the City Council also directed that Staff enforce these provisions of the
Sign Ordinance without a complaint. Staff prepared a revised enforcement policy
Resolution to incorporate the Council's direction.
Mayor Houston asked for a review of the penalties.
Mr. Peabody stated a first citation will be $100, then $200, then $500, then there can be
other civil or criminal actions.
No testimony was entered by any member of the public relative to this issue.
Mayor Houston closed the public hearing.
Cm. McCormick stated she still objects to the small balloons and she saw nothing that
would prohibit clustering.
Vice Mayor Lockhart agreed that we obviously don't know what the future holds and we
don't know how people will get creative. She stated she is also against the small balloons,
but wants the Ordinance to move forward.

8:02 p.m. 6.2 (570-20)
Mayor Houston opened the public hearing.
Public Works Director Lee Thompson presented the Staff Report and advised that this
proposed loading zone would allow transport trucks delivering cars to the dealership to
park along the curb rather than in the two-way left turn lane in the middle of Amador
Plaza Road. The curb in front of the dealership is currently painted red, but is not an
adopted no parking zone. Since this is a safety issue, it is recommended that the
proposed Ordinance be adopted on an urgency basis.
Cm. Zika asked if this was our suggestion or at his request.
Mr. Thompson stated it was our idea.
No testimony was entered by any member of the public relative to this issue.

received an application proposing to expand the service and parts storage capacity to the
existing AutoNation sales facility and to add a 5~bay quick lube service necessary to
accommodate the conversion of the AutoNation used car facility into the Shamrock Ford
new car sales facility. AutoNation USA is located adjacent to 1-580, east of the Hacienda
Crossings retail/entertainment center and west of Tassajara Creek.
Mr. Byde stated City Council approval of the Site Development Review would allow the
modifications necessary to complete the relocation of Shamrock Ford's existing business
to the existing AutoNation site. The resulting design would result in a well planned

Mayor Houston referenced the new service bays and asked if these are additional?
Mr. Byde stated they have 1 ¢ now so we would be doubling the number.
Cm. McCormick asked about the Extended Stay Hotel location. She stated she was
concerned that they don't look down on the service bays.
An unidentified audience member stated 48 more days and they will be open. They will

GRANT FOR THE PURCHASE OF A MOTORCYCLE FOR TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT
8:10 p.m. 8.2 (580-40)
Lieutenant John Hardester presented the Staff Report and advised that Dublin Police
Services (DPS) is requesting permission to apply for a grant in the amount of
approximately $29,000 to be used to purchase a motorcycle for traffic enforcement, as
well as related training and equipment. It is anticipated that following the initial cost,
the City would be responsible for approximately $5,000 of annual ongoing costs, which
include maintenance on the motorcycle, emergency equipment maintenance, transfer fee
for the annual trade-in of the motorcycle, and reinstallation costs for the emergency
equipment.
The request to apply for this grant is being presented prior to budget submission due to
the fact that the Office of Traffic Safety has imposed a January 31, 2000 deadline for
applications to be submitted.
Cm. Zika asked if the Sheriff's Department has any motorcycles now.

LETTER OF SUPPORT TO INCLUDE THE BART EXTENSION TO LIVERMORE
ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY IN THE ALAMEDA COUNTY EXPENDITURE PLAN
IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE REAUTHORIZATION OF MEASURE B
8:17 p.m. 8.3 (1060-30)
Public Works Director Lee Thompson presented the Staff Report and advised that the
reauthorization of the Measure B 1/2 cent sales tax would propose to raise
approximately $1.4 billion over the next 20 years. The extension of BART to Livermore
would reduce traffic on I~580, as well as on Dublin streets near the existing Dublin BART
Station.
Mr. Thompson stated Staff had prepared a letter to the Alameda County Transportation
Authority supporting the inclusion of the BART Extension to Livermore Environmental
Study in the revised Expenditure Plan.
Vice Mayor Lockhart stated she had hesitations because of the $7 million cost. Her
concern is do we have any gesture or information from Livermore stating their GP or SP
around the BART station will accommodate tenants of BART related to urbanization and
higher densities in a transit area. She asked if the Council felt this would be an
interesting agenda item for the Tri~Valley Council meeting in February. She would hate
to see the people in this area lay out $7 million for an environmental study if this doesn't
go anywhere.
Mayor Houston stated in talking with some of the Councilmembers in Livermore,
everybody sees what a valuable asset this is for the community. He felt they are very
much in favor of it. The environmental work needs to be done to see how this can all
work out. This is kind of like the chicken and the egg. Unless we get the environmental

work done, we will never be in a state of readiness at the state and federal level for
funding.
Vice Mayor Lockhart stated she is not asking to see their plan right now, but would just
like some assurances that they are really serious about listening to what BART is saying.
Cm. McCormick stated she also would like to hear their philosophy to see if they've
changed to accommodate it.
Mayor Houston suggested that this be placed as a topic, for discussion by the Tri-Valley
Council and in the interim, this could go forward. They want letters of support for this
idea. Supervisor Haggerty called him and stated it would be good for the Valley to be
united on this.
Cm. McCormick asked if they go ahead and support this tonight, what's the point of
discussing it at the TVC meeting?
Mayor Houston felt reading what Livermore citizens are saying, that they've been paying
this tax all these years, and they recognize the economic benefits and want it to happen.
This is a good time for this to happen with the reauthorization of Measure B funds.
Vice Mayor Lockhart stated there's all kinds of discussion going on and some people in
Livermore want to repeal the BART tax. We should just hear what they have to say about
it.
Mayor Houston stated this is just to try and.get something on the ballot.
Cm. Zika stated he felt it's important to get this process started in order to be in line
when the money comes available. He is willing to give Livermore a chance on this and
give them the benefit of the doubt.
Cm. McCormick stated she is sure they want BART, but her concern is are they going to
buy the whole package, transit village retail and the whole package that goes with it.
We've never heard this.
On motion of Cm. Zika, seconded by Vice Mayor Lockhart, and by unanimous vote (Cm.
Howard absent), the Council approved the letter of support and authorized the Mayor to
sign the letter.
