point in the future.
In order to conform with California State Law related to the future formation of a GHAD, it is necessary
for the City to declare itself subject to provisions of the Law by adopting a resolution containing said
declaration. A copy of the adopted resolution must then be forwarded to the State Controller in order to
establish the City's eligibility to form a GHAD.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution declaring that the City of Dublin is subject to
the provisions of California Public Resources Code Division 17 relating to Geologic Hazard Abatement
Dis1ricts, and direct Staff to forward the adopted resolution to the State Con1roller.
