SUMMARY MINUTES OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
SPECIAL MEETING – August 15, 2014
A special meeting of the Economic Development Committee was held on August 15, 2014, in the City
Manager’s Conference Room of the Dublin Civic Center. The meeting was called to order at 10:48
AM by Mayor Sbranti.
1. Call to Order
PRESENT: Mayor Sbranti and Vice Mayor Biddle
ABSENT: None
2. Public Comment
No comments were made by any member of the public at this time.
3. Minutes of the Standing Economic Development Committee Special meeting of August 7,
2014
ACTION: By Consensus, the Committee approved the minutes of the meeting of August 7, 2014.
4. Sewer Capacity Assistance Program Requirements Discussion
The Committee discussed potential changes to the City’s incentive program to be applicable citywide
instead of allowing assistance at a higher percentage within the priority development areas.
ACTION: The Committee directed Staff to place an item on the City Council’s September 2, 2014
agenda that would consider making changes to the existing program. The changes discussed were
removing the different rates for specific geographic areas (such as the Downtown and the Priority
Development Areas) and adopting the rates used in the Dublin Transit Center/Dublin Crossing and
Dublin Town Center citywide. If the City Council were to approve the changes to the current program
at the September 16, 2014 meeting, the Committee has also directed Staff to bring forward the sewer
capacity assistance request from Chaat Café with a recommended provision of 3.75 DUE to the City
Council on September 16, 2014.
5. Request for Participation in Sewer Capacity Assistance Program
Staff presented the Committee with two requests for participation in the Sewer Capacity Assistance
Program. Pacific Catch, a fine dining seafood restaurant, is looking to locate in Persimmon Place and
is requesting assistance with 11.25 Dwelling Unit Equivalents (DUEs) of which the City could assist
with up to 75% (8.44 DUE). The second request came from Urban Plates, a very successful “farm to
plate” restaurant, who is looking to also locate in Persimmon Place and is requesting assistance with
10.19 DUEs of which the City could assist with 50% (5.1 DUE).
ACTION: The Committee was in favor of Pacific Catch and Urban Plate’s requests and directed Staff
to move forward to the City Council for consideration with a recommended provision of 8.44 DUEs to
support Pacific Catch, and a provision of 5.1 DUEs to support Urban Plates.
6. Request for Future Agenda Items
None.
7. Adjournment
There being no further business to come before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned at 11:30
AM.
Minutes prepared by Hazel L. Wetherford, Senior Economic Development Analyst.
