This request supports ADA accessibility and compliance - related improvements that are necessary to ensure occupancy and operation. The project reflects significant private investment and is expected to activate a currently vacant space, create new job opportunities, and expand youth sports training opportunities in the community. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Receive the report, provide direction on whether to recommend City Council approval of the grant request, and, if so, the amount recommended to be approved. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The total grant amount requested is $60,000 through the Small Business Assistance Program. Funding is available in the current fiscal year budget to support the request. DESCRIPTION: Overview of Grant Program The Small Business Assistance Program (Program) is one of the City’s key tools to assist businesses in complying with regulatory requirements that are often necessary to open or expand in Dublin. Funding for the Program is provided through an annual economic benefit payment made to the City by Amador Valley Industries (AVI) for the exclusive right to collect construction and demolition debris as outlined in the Collection Service Agreement between the City and AVI. Under this agreement, AVI provides $100,000 annually toward the Program. 6 Page 2 of 3 The Program’s eligible expenses include ADA upgrades, sewer connections, Title 24 energy compliance, and other infrastructure improvements. The Program helps reduce financ ial burdens, promote timely openings, and encourage activation of underutilized commercial spaces. Grants are awarded on a reimbursement basis. Since 2020, three Program grants have been approved, as listed in Table 1. Table 1. Approved Grants Since 2020 The VeloShack, Performance and Analytics LLC (6878 Village Parkway) The VeloShack, Performance and Analytics LLC (VeloShack) is a new 5,400 -square-foot indoor baseball and softball training and performance facility providing hitting, pitching, arm care, and skills development through a recurring membership model supplemented by private instruction, team rentals, and optional performance analytics add-ons. Site Location To meet accessibility requirements, the facility requires upgrades to provide an ADA-compliant restroom, exterior path of travel, and accessible parking stalls, with estimated costs totaling more than $80,000. This work includes concrete and asphalt repairs and upgrades, demolition, plumbing, electrical and lighting, drywall and tile installation, and accessible fixtures and grab bars. The requested grant would help offset these necessary expenses . Business Location Amount Requested Amount Approved AVA Jiu Jitsu 7234 San Ramon Rd. $23,930 $23,930 IBEW Local 595 6250 Village Pkwy. $75,000 $75,000 The Sand Trapp 7802 Dublin Blvd. $28,000 $28,000 7 Page 3 of 3 VeloShack signed a 39-month lease beginning June 2026 (ending in August 2029) and is currently in plan review for a building permit to remodel the facility. The plans submitted include the accessibility upgrades described in its application. In addition to the ADA upgrades, VeloShack is undertaking other improvements, including new flooring and paint, and electrical infrastructure upgrades. The total project cost for site improvements is estimated at more than $112,000. VeloShack will initially be owner-operated and plans to create two to four jobs as operations and its customer base grow. This grant would help offset the financial hardship of bringing the site into compliance with current ADA requirements. It would also allow the business to continue investing in programs, equipment, and training that benefit Dublin’s youth and local sports community.

Staff is seeking the Committee's feedback and direction before finalizing the materials, developing collateral, and beginning a phased rollout . STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Receive the presentation and provide direction. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with receiving this presentation. Future implementation items, such as collateral production, paid media, event participation, and any additional support, would be funded within the existing Economic Development budget or brought forward for consideration through the City's normal budget and approval process. DESCRIPTION: Background On June 3, 2025, the City Council approved an agreement with Commune Communication Corp. (Commune) to develop an Economic Development Branding and Marketing Strategy. The project implements Strategy 1.2.2 of the City's Economic Development Strategy, adopted by the City Council on October 1, 2024: "Undertake and implement an economic development- tailored marketing and branding strategy that focuses on Dublin's competitive assets and transformational development projects/areas identified through the Economic Development Strategy effort, as well as existing business and development incentives." 14 Page 2 of 5 The scope of work includes an economic development-focused brand, a comprehensive marketing strategy, updated promotional materials for industry outreach, enhanced media and public relations efforts, and a review of the City's economic development webpages. On December 16, 2025, the Committee received a presentation from Commune on the research findings, the creative brief, and three initial visual concepts. The research included interviews with Councilmembers, focus groups with business leaders, a meeting with the City's Executive Team, and community and business surveys. The Committee provided feedback and identified "All Points Dublin" as the preferred design direction. As described in the March 12, 2026 memorandum to the Committee, Staff identified two issues while refining that concept: potential visual confusion with the City's existing branding and similarity to a logo the Dublin Chamber of Commerce had recently introduced for a new program. Staff directed Commune to develop additional concepts. Of the two new con cepts, Staff recommended moving forward with "The Cornerstone" and continuing its refinement. Table 1 compares the initial direction with the selected concept. Table 1. Logo Comparison All Points Dublin The Cornerstone Work Completed in 2026 Since the March memorandum, Staff has worked with Commune in three main areas: logo refinement, Brand Identity Guidelines development, and the communications and outreach strategy. Logo Refinement The Cornerstone mark is a modern "D" formed by intersecting lines. It includes a negative- space "X" referencing the I-580 and I-680 interchange, an accent square representing Dublin as a point where ideas and action meet, and a curve evoking the roads into Dublin and the surrounding hills. Commune developed a full logo family: a primary stacked lockup, a horizontal lockup, a square lockup, and a standalone lettermark. Commune also developed co - branding lockups that pair the Economic Development logo with the City's shamrock logo, so the two brands appear as related rather than competing identities. 15 Page 3 of 5 Brand Identity Guidelines Commune prepared draft Brand Identity Guidelines that set the rules for using the brand consistently. The guidelines cover: • Color: A palette built around Dublin Green, with lime, forest green, gold, and coral used in defined proportions; gold and coral are reserved for accents. • Typography: Proxima Nova as the primary typeface, selected for its similarity to the typography in the City's existing branding. Web typography will be confirmed during website design. • Logo usage: Clear space, minimum sizes, approved backgrounds, and examples of improper use. • Co-branding: When paired with the City logo, the Economic Development logo may be recolored to match the City's primary green. Communications and Outreach Strategy Commune developed a draft strategy, "Open Lanes for Opportunity," that turns the brand into a practical outreach plan. It is summarized below. Positioning. The strategy builds on the creative brief's central idea: with convenient access to major freeways and transit, business-friendly civic leadership, and a diverse, educated workforce, Dublin ensures that nothing stands in the way of a business and its potential. The message rests on four pillars (location, support, safety, and workforce) and four objectives: • Awareness: Increase Dublin's visibility with businesses and decision makers. • Attraction: Recruit target industries and retail. • Activation: Increase use of City programs and incentives. • Advocacy: Encourage existing business owners to act as ambassadors for Dublin. Audiences. The strategy identifies three audiences, each with a different barrier and communications task, as summarized in Table 2. Table 2. Communications and Outreach Strategy Audiences Audience Who Barrier Task Message Industry leaders Decision makers in target industries "Where's Dublin?" Raise awareness The Intersection of Opportunity Real estate professionals Site selectors, brokers, tenant representatives, developers, investors "Why Dublin?" Show what makes Dublin distinct Room to Grow Small business and community Startups, local businesses, residents Feeling overwhelmed by the process Show how the City supports businesses Open for You 16 Page 4 of 5 Priority industries. Commune initially developed playbooks for six industries. To match available resources, the strategy now focuses on four: Real Estate Development; Retail, Dining, and Entertainment; Life Sciences and Advanced Manufacturing; and Business Events and Travel. Real estate and retail would lead, life sciences would follow as capacity allows, and business events would come later. Channels. The strategy assigns a role to each channel: • Owned: The City’s economic development webpages, email, and recurring content such as success stories. • Earned: Media relations and partner amplification through regional economic development organizations, education partners, and industry associations. • Paid: Targeted digital advertising and potential out-of-home placements. • Events and direct outreach: Industry conferences, small business wo rkshops, and personalized outreach to site selectors and brokers. Building on existing programs. The strategy continues and rebrands work already underway rather than replacing it, including the Small Business Spotlight, Small Business Season, the Quarterly Dining Guide, Business Anniversary Recognition, Startup Tri-Valley partnerships, and attendance at the International Council of Shopping Centers and California Association for Local Economic Development conferences. Phased approach and cadence. The strategy is phased to reflect current support capacity. In the first phase, Staff would apply the new brand to existing materials, webpages, and program collateral. In the second phase, Staff would introduce new content, including a LinkedIn presence starting at one post per week, organized around a small set of recurring content series. Commune originally recommended a higher cadence; the scaled approach is intended to be sustainable and can increase as capacity allows. Measurement and governance. The strategy includes a review process for content before it is published and a measurement framework that tracks awareness, engagement, actions such as business inquiries and program applications, and outcomes such as new businesses in target industries. Next Steps Following the Committee's feedback and direction, Staff will: • Finalize the brand materials. Incorporate the Committee's feedback into the logo, Brand Identity Guidelines, and draft communications and outreach strategy. Coordinate with the City's Community Engagement team to confirm consistency with the City's overall brand and review process. • Inform the City Council. Share the final brand and strategy with the City Council before the public rollout. • Develop collateral. Apply the new brand to existing materials first, including the City’s economic development webpages, business cards, program collateral, presentation templates, the Quarterly Dining Guide, Small Business Spotlight materials, and materials for industry conferences. • Roll out in phases. Introduce the brand through existing programs and channels, then 17 Page 5 of 5 phase in new content, including LinkedIn, as capacity allows. Staff will track results using the measurement framework and adjust the approach over time. • Report back. Provide the Committee with periodic updates on implementation and results.
