Fiscal Years 2026-2028 Strategic Plan Progress Report - Year 1, Quarter 1
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM:Colleen Tribby, City Manager
Prepared By:Jordan Foss, Senior Management Analyst
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will receive a progress report on the City’s Two-Year Strategic Plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive the report.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
DESCRIPTION:
The City Council adopted the City’s Two-Year Strategic Plan on April 7, 2026. This Plan sets the overall
direction for the City, guiding resources and setting specific objectives to drive City actions. The Plan
coincides with Fiscal Years 2026-27 and 2027-28.
The Strategic Plan Progress Report details the City Council’s eight strategic priorities and 33 objectives
along with Staff’s work plan for achieving each objective. Each work plan item includes a description,
anticipated fiscal years of activity, assigned department(s), and status. As progress is tracked
throughout the two-year period, items are updated to reflect whether they are completed,
completed/ongoing, in progress, off target, or not started.
The City Manager may also assign new work plan tasks as needed. To ensure transparency, existing
items are not removed from the Progress Report; instead, they remain to reflect the efforts made
toward each objective. Any changes to objectives or work plan items are recorded in the document’s
revision history. This report is the first quarterly Strategic Plan Progress Report, covering July 1, 2026

File #:2026-143 Agenda Date:10/20/2026 Agenda #:8.1.
through September 30, 2026. Significant accomplishments for each priority are summarized below.
Priority 1: Public Safety, Health, and Welfare
•Dublin Police Services continued installing situational awareness cameras at key locations in
the City. In the first quarter, eight cameras were installed and permits for 24 more were
submitted to the City.
Priority 2: Fiscal Sustainability
•Proposition 218 balloting for Citywide Street Light Assessment District 2026-1 was completed,
and the results were reviewed by the City Council in July. The district did not receive majority
support from property owners, so it will not be formed, and the two existing Street Light
Maintenance Districts will remain in place.
•Staff overhauled the City’s volunteer program:
o The program guide is now organized around four areas: community programs,
community projects, special events, and sports leagues.
o A code of conduct, background check standards, and an online application are now
provided through NEOGOV.
•Staff evaluated the accessory dwelling unit (ADU) building permit fee waiver program, which
expires December 31, 2026. An informational report to the City Council is planned before the
end of the year.
Priority 3: Technology Innovation
•The City deployed Perry Weather’s weather monitoring system, which includes on-site stations
and real-time lightning and wind alerts. The City Manager’s Office uses it for emergency
management. Parks and Community Services uses it to close facilities and fields when needed,
and closures are posted on the City website.
•Staff launched an initial version of the City’s open data website with several geographic
information system maps and data layers. More public datasets will continue to be added as
needed.
Priority 4: Housing Affordability
•Staff submitted a $2 million U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grant
application for Sunflower Hill at Grace Pointe, a 60-unit affordable housing project for people
with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Staff also drafted changes to the project’s
affordable housing agreement and lease to make it more competitive for State funding.
•The City amended its Affordable Housing Assistance Agreement with Related Companies for
Amador Station, a 300-unit affordable project. The amendment gives the developer more time
to secure construction funding.
•The City Council directed Staff to notify Alameda County of the City’s continued interest in
affordable housing on Dublin Transit Center Site D-1, which can hold approximately 99 units.
•The City approved two First-Time Homebuyer Loans for below-market-rate (BMR) buyers,
Page 2 of 4
111
File #:2026-143 Agenda Date:10/20/2026 Agenda #:8.1.
totaling $200,000. Staff also worked with Risewell Homes to feature the loan program in
marketing for the October release of BMR homes at Dublin Centre.
•Staff completed a building code update to the City’s ADU prototype plans as part of Senator
Glazer’s District 7 ADU Accelerator Program. Staff also processed a $7,500 rebate for an ADU
completed in August and submitted the program’s biannual progress report.
•Staff held two community meetings for Eden Housing at Francis Ranch and reviewed the
project’s Senate Bill (SB) 330 application.
Priority 5: City Infrastructure
•Exterior painting at Fire Station 16, Fire Station 17, and The Wave is complete. The new
cementitious siding at The Wave is also complete.
•Seal coating is complete on all streets and parking lots in the annual street and parking lot
resurfacing project.
•The City received the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) Pavement Management
Technical Assistance Program (P-TAP 27) grant. Under it, an MTC-funded consultant will survey
City streets and update the pavement condition ratings.
•For the Village Parkway Reconstruction:
o The California Transportation Commission confirmed the City is eligible to apply for an
SB 1 Local Partnership Program grant.
o Staff and the design consultant developed a plan for community outreach, subdivision
wall assessment, and water main replacement.
•Consultants completed condition assessments of the City’s green stormwater infrastructure
and full trash capture devices, and replacement filter media was received.
•The City executed a contract to train City and MCE staff on Asset Essentials, the new
computerized maintenance management system.
Priority 6: Downtown Dublin
•The City Council received an update in closed session, and Staff continues to work with the
property owner on next steps.
Priority 7: Fallon East Economic Development Zone
•For the Dublin Fallon 580 Project, Staff reviewed the third submittal for the commercial
portion, which includes the Dublin Boulevard - North Canyons Parkway Extension
improvements. Staff also held two community meetings on the residential portion.
•Staff met with the Righetti and Branaugh property owners about the Dublin Boulevard - North
Canyons Parkway Extension and their development agreements. This included several
meetings with Righetti on the development agreement terms.
Priority 8: Enhanced Customer Experience
•Staff began moving State-mandated fire inspections from paper to an electronic format to save
time and improve efficiency. Staff is working to integrate the process into the City’s EnerGov

permit system.
•Staff created two simplified Fire Operational Permits, one long-term and one short-term, which
are currently being tested.
•Staff completed training on Legistar ahead of the new online posting of agendas, minutes, and
videos.
