On February 21, 2008, the City Manager distributed the 2007-2008 Goals & Objectives and Capital
Improvements Projects Status Reports as of December 31, 2007 and the 2008-2009 Preliminary Goals &
Objectives Rating Form and Strategic Plan Update to provide the opportunity for each Councilmember to
individually prioritize the 2008-2009 objectives.
Since the memo was distributed, Staff has updated the 2007-2008 Goals & Objectives and Capital
Improvement Projects Status Reports as of February 29,2008 to provide the Council with a more accurate
accounting of progress made in accomplishing the various projects and objectives. Since the previous
update, the following two (2) objectives have been completed:
1. Hold two (2) community meetings to educate the community on the City's affordable housing
program. (Housing Section - G&O II.B.5)
2. Expand operational hours, programs, and marketing of activities at the Dublin Senior Center.
(Parks & Community Services Section III.AA)
Additionally, there is one goal that Staff previously anticipated completing in Fiscal Year 2007-2008,
which now has been extended into Fiscal Year 2008-2009. This goal will need to be ranked by Council for
inclusion in the Fiscal Year 2008-2009 Preliminary Goals & Objectives Program. This goal is: "Prepare
an alignment for Central Parkway from Fallon Rd to Croak Rd/Dublin Blvd." Staff requests that Council
come prepared to provide individual rankings of this goal at the Budget Study Session.
Changes made since the last update are highlighted in gray in the attached report. The following table has
been updated to reflect these changes:

Approximately 87% of the objectives above are identified as high priority objectives.
In addition to prioritizing the Preliminary Goals & Objectives prepared by Staff and Commissions,
individual Councilmembers identified a total of 11 additional objectives for consideration by the entire
City Council. These objectives are identified below:
Administration
1. Improve visibility of visual presentations in City Council Chambers for the City Council and members
of the public.
2. Investigate opportunities and implement solutions for paperless Council Meetings.
Public Relations
3. Consider an annual video newsletter on TV30 for community.

Heritage & Cultural Arts
9. Create a Women in History Program and coordinate with the DUSD program.
Police

Transportation
11. Study need for signalizing Brighton and Amador Valley Blvd.
The Councilmembers should review each of these additional objectives added by individual
Councilmembers and come prepared to provide their rating for these objectives at the Goals &
Objectives meeting on March 31, 2008. The Council should also consider which, if any, of these new
objectives should be added to the Strategic Plan and under which Strategic Goal(s).
Upon completion of the objective prioritization process during the March 31st meeting, Staff will
present the high priority objectives in those program areas that have ten or more high priority
objectives and ask the Council to select its top ten objectives in each program area, if necessary.
Goals & Obiectives and the Budget
One of the primary purposes of the Goals & Objectives process is to define the Council's highest priority
objectives so that Staff can evaluate the cost of those objectives and include specific cost information in
the Preliminary Budget for the upcoming year.
Historically, only those objectives which receive a Hi2:h Priority are evaluated in the Budget if
additional resources are required.
RECOMMENDATION
It is Staffs recommendation that the City Council: 1) Review the 2007-2008 Goals & Objectives and
Capital Improvement Project Updates as of 2/29/2008; 2) Receive the Staff Report for the 2008-2009
Preliminary Goals & Objectives Program and Strategic Plan Update; 3) Receive public input; 4)
Deliberate, prioritize and preliminarily adopt the 2008-2009 Goals & Objectives; and 5) Preliminarily
adopt the 2008-2009 Update to the 10- Y ear Strategic Plan. The Final Goals & Objectives Program and
Strategic Plan will be adopted as part ofthe 2008-2009 Budget process in June 2008.

2007-2008 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM STATUS REPORT
2008-2009 PRELIMINARY GOALS & OBJECTIVES
2008-2009 UPDATE TO 10-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN
The City Council has established the City's Annual Goals & Objectives meeting for 2008-2009 on March 31,
2008 at 6:00 p.m.
The purpose of the Goals & Objectives meeting is for the City Council to reach consensus on the work plan
for the City for the coming year. The work plan will be placed within the framework of the City's lO-year
strategic plan.
The identification of Council priorities should minimize diversion of Staff resources during the year. The
goal setting process will also facilitate Staffs development ofthe 2008-2009 Operating Budget and Capital
Improvement Program.
As in past years, the process for accomplishing the City's Goals & Objectives is as follows:
1. The City Council prioritizes the City's objectives.
2. Staff develops a preliminary budget, which provides sufficient resources to accomplish those objectives,
which were given a high priority by the Council during the Goals & Objectives meeting.
3. The City Council adopts the budget making any adjustments deemed appropriate.
It is important to recognize that major assignments initiated by the Council after the budget is adopted and
Staff resources are set, can be accomplished only be deferring or delaying other high priority objectives
previously adopted by the Council. Even if additional Staff resources are authorized during the year, it will
often take several months before Staff can be recruited and hired.
The reporting period for Goals & Objectives is the fiscal year, so the period is aligned with additional
resources provided for high priority objectives at the beginning of a new fiscal year. The 2007-2008 Year-
End Goals & Objectives Report will be presented to the City Council as part of the 2008-2009 Preliminary
Budget.

STRATEGIC PLAN AND PRELIMINARY 2008-2009 GOALS & OBJECTIVES
The City's Management Team has prepared a preliminary list of Goals & Objectives for 2008-2009 for
Council consideration. A total of93 objectives in 18 different program areas are identified in the Preliminary
2008-2009 Goals & Objectives Program (see attachment 3, blue report). Of this total, fifty-one (51)
objectives are new and 42 objectives are recommended to be carried over from 2007-2008 with 2
recommended for deletion. Of the 93 objectives, two (2) are recommended to be added by the Planning
Commission, one (1) by the Parks & Community Services Commission, and one (1) by the Heritage &
Cultural Arts Commission.
- 4 -
Ofthe 93 objectives identified by Staff in the 2008-2009 Preliminary Goals & Objectives Plan, thirty-two
(32) are objectives that Staff believes accomplish one or more of the Strategic Goals approved by the City
Council. These objectives were placed in the Strategic Plan (see attachment 4, green report) under each
Strategic Goal based upon Staffs recommended priority order. Strategic objectives are cross-referenced in
the Goals & Objectives document and the Strategic Planning document.
For example, "Update Downtown, West Dublin BART and San Ramon Specific Plans into one
comprehensive Plan that addresses the entire Downtown Area." is Objective No. II.AA in the 2008-2009
Preliminary Goals & Objectives Plan. This Strategic Objective contributes to the accomplishment of
Strategic Goals:
IB Identify opportunities to create new villages.
2A Continue to strengthen the identity and aesthetic appeal ofthe Downtown.
2B Continue to work with private property owners to renovate or update retail areas.
The objective is shown in three (3) different places in the Strategic Plan, but only once in the Preliminary
Goals & Objectives Plan.
The Strategic Plan document includes objectives that the City is currently seeking to accomplish, and it also
includes objectives that have been accomplished in previous years. Since the Strategic Plan is a lO-year
document, Staff believes it is important to show the City's progress towards accomplishing the Council's
established Strategic Goals. There are 88 objectives included in the 10-year Strategic Plan, some of which
accomplish more than one Strategy. As of December 31,2007, Staff has completed six (6) Strategic
Objectives for Fiscal Year 2007-2008. In addition, Staff previously completed 39 Strategic Objectives in
previous fiscal years, for a total of 45 out of 88 (51 %) completed since the Plan's adoption in Fiscal Year
2004-2005.
In addition to the objectives that are strategic, there are objectives included in the Preliminary Goals &
Objectives Plan that, although not strategic, contribute toward the accomplishment ofthe City's Mission
Statement. These objectives are labeled as accomplishing a Department Goal in the Preliminary 2008-2009
Goals & Objectives Plan.
The Preliminary 2008-2009 Goals & Objectives are identified in priority order as viewed by City Staff (i.e.,
high, medium, low, delete). IfCouncilmembers add high priority objectives which require additional Staff,
the Management Team believes that some of the proposed high priority objectives by Staff may need to be
given a lower priority or additional staff and office space will be required. At this time, there is little
available office space in the Civic Center.
Included on the 2008-2009 Preliminary Goals & Objectives form (blue) is a column identified
"Benefits/Need" to assist the City Council in assessing the importance of each objective. Also, a column
identified as "Additional Resources Required" is included. This column identifies what additional staffing or
funding resources over-and-above the City's current service level capability is required to accomplish the
objective within the next year.
In accordance with Council direction, Staff has estimated the amount oftime necessary to complete each
objective commencing on July 1, 2008. For those objectives which were initiated in a prior year and are
recommended to be carried over, the time required represents the remaining time necessary to complete the
objective during Fiscal Year 2008-2009.
- 5 -
The Planning Commission, Parks & Community Services Commission and Heritage & Cultural Arts
Commission reviewed those proposed objectives for 2008-2009 which fall under their respective purview.
Additionally, on February 2,2008, a Goals & Objectives workshop was organized to provide Commission
Members with an opportunity to address the City Council regarding their respective goals and objectives.
Draft minutes ofthis meeting are enclosed (see attachment 5).
As presented at the workshop, the Commissions' priorities differ from Staff in the following areas:
Planning
#10 "Update City's General Plan." Staff gave this objective a low priority and the Planning Commission
gave it a medium priority.
# 11 "Develop policy requiring play areas in walking distance of new homes in new subdivisions. " Staff gave
this objective a low priority and the Planning Commission gave it a medium priority.
#12 "Complete General Plan Amendment on DiManto Property. " Staff recommended that this objective be
deleted and the Planning Commission gave it a low priority.
The Planning Commission requested consideration of two (2) additional objectives which the Commission
considered high priorities.
#13 "Briefings to the Planning Commission regarding proposed significant redevelopment, which would
include site and/or land uses, within the Downtown Planning Area. "
#14 "Evaluate the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance with respect to all potential opportunities. "
Housing
#3 "Process 10 First Time Homebuyer Loans. " While the Commission concurred with the priority
recommendation of Staff, it recommended that the goal be changed to read: "Process 15 First Time
Homebuyer Loans."
Parks & Community Services
#15 "In cooperation with the DUSD, update the existing agreement regarding use offacilities between the
City and DUSD." While the Commission concurred with the priority recommendation of Staff, it
recommended that the goal be renumbered to #12.
The Parks & Community Services Commission also requested consideration of one (1) additional objective,
which the Commission considered a high priority.
#16 "Expand use of the City website to promote Senior Center events, programs, and services. "
Heritage & Cultural Arts Commission
#7 "Work with the developer to locate significant works of art in two key places of the Dublin Transit Center,
the Village Green and the "Iron Horse" Plaza. " Staff gave this objective a high priority and the Heritage &
Cultural Arts Commission gave it a medium priority.
- 6 -
The Heritage & Cultural Arts Commission also requested consideration of one (1) additional objective,
which the Commission considered a high priority.
#12 "Develop a Black History Month Celebration in February 2009 working collaboratively with community
representatives. "
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council review the Preliminary 2008-2009 Goals & Objectives Plan and
prioritize each of the objectives within each program area (i.e., Administration, Finance, etc.) by giving a
rating of "high", "medium", "low", or "delete".
In the past, the High Priority objective has been defined as an objective that significantly improves the City's
ability to affect the overall quality oflife in the community, provides basic services, or is required by law.
Objectives should receive "medium" or "low" priorities to the extent they affect the above criteria. If the
Council believes that a particular objective is not necessary at this time, Staff would recommend deletion of
the objective.
At the end of each program area, space has been provided for the City Councilmembers to identify and
prioritize any additional objectives, which individual Councilmembers would like to have a majority of the
City Council include into the 2008-2009 Goals & Objective Plan. If you identify any additional objectives, I
will contact you before sending the packet to the entire Council, if any clarification is required or if the
objectives should be considered as strategic.
It is recommended that each Councilmember complete his/her review and prioritization of the 2008-
2009 Preliminary Goals & Objectives ranking form, including any new objectives that
Councilmembers would like to add. These blue ranking forms must be returned to the City Manager's
Office not later than March 4, 2008 in order for the Council to consider the entire Goals & Objectives
Program at its meeting of March 31, 2008.
To assist you in your evaluation of each Commission's recommendation, I have attached copies of minutes
from individual Commission and Committee meetings and draft minutes from the February 2,2008
Council/Commission G&O workshop.
Once individual Councilmembers have submitted their ranking forms, Staffwill compile the rankings of
individual Councilmembers. Staff will assign a numerical ranking of"3" for high priority objectives, "2" for
medium priority objectives, "1" for low priority objectives, and "0" for delete. These scores will be averaged
in a composite rating for all Councilmembers and will be distributed to the City Council prior to the meeting
of March 31, 2008.
Those program areas that have 10 or more high priority objectives have historically been ranked in priority
order by the Council during the Goals and Objective Meeting.
If you have any questions or would like further clarification regarding the process or any of the materials
included in this packet, please advise the City Manager not later than February 29, 2008.

..

GOALS & OBJECTIVES
The Council and Commission discussed the proposed objectives for accomplishing
each of the Parks & Community Services Commission's goals, focusing primarily
on those goals in which the Staff and Commission rankings differed, as well as an
additional objective proposed by the Parks & Community Service Commission.
Commissioner Flores joined the meeting at 9:12 a.m.
Parks & Community Services Manager Paul McCreary explained that in regard to
Goal #s 8, 9, and 10, as listed below, there had been a typographical error and they
should all have had a Commission ranking of "High".

SPECIAL MEETING
February 2, 2008
Additional Objective # 1
EXPAND USE OF THE CITY WEBSITE TO
PROMOTE SENIOR CENTER EVENTS.
PROGRAMS AND SERVICES
Commissioner Jones stated the Commission would like to expand its outreach to
different generations. The needs were different but this would enable the
generations to get in tune with each other.
Mayor Lockhart asked if, by the events at the Senior Center she had seen advertised
lately, were they trying to encourage more members of the community to use the
Center.
Commissioner Jones stated that yes, there were. This enabled residents of all ages
of Dublin to experience the Senior Center and feel more comfortable later in life
when they might use the Center more.
Vm. Sbranti stated that one of the goals last year had been to develop outreach to
working seniors. Had any programs or outreach been developed? The use of the
website idea was a good one.
Mr. McCreary stated that since September, the City had expanded Senior Center
hours. It was now opened until 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday evenings. They had
mailed information to residents of parcels that had been in the City before 1980 to
generate new interest. The Senior Center had partnered with the Groves and
Wicklow developments to expand its outreach.
Cm. Oravetz ask the Commission if the Superbowl party scheduled at the Senior
Center was an example of an event designed to get all ages at the Senior Center.
Commissioner Guarienti stated the Commission had been trying to attract more
people to the Senior Center through marketing, such as more activities on the
weekend and a new color newsletter. They had specific email lists to target
different audiences. The web site would also be a good marketing tool.
Mayor Lockhart suggested adding the newsletter to the website.
Mr. McCreary stated they would look into that possibility.
DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
VOLUME 27
SPECIAL MEETING
February 2, 2008
Vm. Sbranti stated there could be an activity guide just for seniors and that guide
could also be placed on the website.
Martin Baron, Senior Center Advisory Committee member, stated there was a
misconception that there was only bingo and light lunch available at the Senior
Center. There was actually a good mix of people and that created opportunities as
well as challenges. If there were citizens that made connections they could create
more and these connections were important for the City to recognize and cultivate.
Commissioner Muetterties stated she was very impressed with the Senior Center
Advisory Board. They had been trying to reach out and be proactive. They were
very interested in marketing and as a result, communication had been great.
Cm. Scholz stated she enjoyed the lunches, classes, tours and trips available
through the Senior Center.
Mayor Lockhart stated it was a good idea to introduce people at a younger age to
the Center.
Cm. Hildenbrand stated that the City should continue to use these marketing tools
to advise more people of activities that were in the evenings or on weekends, not
just during the day; continue the marketing expansion.
Goal #12 WORK WITH EBRPD TO COMPLETE NEGOTIATIONS FOR
LAND ACQUISITION IN THE WESTERN HILLS FOR AN OPEN
SPACE AREA
Mayor Lockhart stated she had recently met with Mr. Robert Nielsen who informed
her that he was in discussions with other agencies regarding his land and a portion
being mitigation land. If that worked out, he would be interested in speaking to the
City in regard to an easement to connect trails within the City.
Goal # 15 IN COOPERATION WITH THE DUSD. UPDATE THE EXISTING
AGREEMENT REGARDING USE OF FACILITIES BETWEEN THE
CITY AND DUSD
DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
VOLUME 27
SPECIAL MEETING
February 2, 2008
Mayor Lockhart asked Staff for an update on this goal.
Mr. McCreary stated there would be a meeting with the School District
Superintendent in about two weeks to begin the discussion regarding this goal.
Cm. Hildenbrand asked if this would allow the City easier access to School District
facilities.
Mr. McCreary stated Dr. Hanke had been very proactive in trying to get the City
access to School facilities as early as possible. It took some time, but the City was
having better luck.
Vm. Sbranti stated it was important to acknowledge Dr. Hanke's efforts in this area.
Goal # 11 ASSESS POTENTIAL FOR JOINT PROJECT/F ACILITY
IMPROVEMENTS AT DUBLIN HIGH SCHOOL
City Manager Ambrose stated the Council would receive a report on this goal, in
particular the swim center competitive pool at their next meeting on February 5,
2008.
Commissioner Guarienti stated he wanted to commend the City on its sports,
activities and recreation programs in connection with the California outdoor bill of
rights recently signed by the Governor. There were ten items on the list that kids
should do before the age of 14 and the City had about 13 of 14. The City provided
activities for everyone.
Cm. Hildenbrand stated she enjoyed the City's family movie night and commended
Staff for its work on family events and would like to see more of them
Vm. Sbranti asked if there were any City projects that would be affected by the
impact of less facility impact fees.
City Manager Ambrose stated the Commission would receive more information
regarding facility impact fees before the Budget Hearing. As of December, there
was $592,000 in revenue in this category. The projects the City was planning this
year totaled $9 million. There were some projects that would be impacted by the
DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
VOLUME 27
SPECIAL MEETING
February 2, 2008
housing slump in regard to less facility impact fees. The Council would receive
more information at its February 5 meeting when it would receive the City's mid-
year financial report.
Commissioner Muetterties asked what was the status of Camp Parks.
City Manager Ambrose stated Camp Parks' staff was soliciting proposals for its
development project. They did not anticipate having anyone in place until this
summer. The City might not see an application for a general plan amendment until
end of summer.
Mayor Lockhart stated Camp Parks had recently had its Industry Day where over
200 attendees received a list of what the Army was looking for. Businesses would
bid on what they could provide from that list. Whoever was chosen would have to
agree to purchase NASA's seven acres within Camp Parks.
The Council and Staff discussed Irvine and the EI Toro Air Base, in relation to a
military base being redeveloped within a city, and how it had eventually become
part of Irvine.
Public Comments:
There were no public comments received at this time.
.
RECESS
9:44 a.m.
Mayor Lockhart called for a brief recess. The meeting reconvened at 9:51 a.m with
all Councilmembers present, except for Councilmember Scholz who left the
meeting during the recess.

III. HERITAGE & CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSIONIDISCUSSION OF
GOALS & OBJECTIVES
The Council and Commission discussed the proposed objectives for accomplishing
each of the Heritage & Cultural Arts Commission's goals, focusing primarily on
those goals in which the Staff and Commission rankings differed.
Goal #7
WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER TO LOCATE SIGNIFICANT
WORKS OF ART IN TWO KEY PLACES OF THE DUBLIN
TRANSIT CENTER. THE VILLAGE GREEN AND THE "IRON
HORSE" PLAZA
City Staff rated this goal "High" where the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission
rated this goal as "Medium".
Heritage and Cultural Arts Supervisor John Hartnett stated this item had been on
the list for a while and the City had been waiting for a 25% occupancy rate of the
project. Once it was achieved, they could move forward with the public art project,
possibly in the spring.
City Manager Ambrose stated the City did have the funding for this project. The
County had been required to provide half of the funding for the artwork.
Mayor Lockhart stated that in conversations with BART, they thought art at the
stations was a great idea, but could not assist with funds for the art.
Commissioner Acuff stated murals could be an option on the BART parking
structures.
Commission Chair Swalwell stated that the Commission's rating of Medium did not
reflect a lack of enthusiasm on their part, it was only because the development had
not reached the 25% occupancy rate.
Cm. Oravetz stated Dublin had made some bold moves in terms of art, such as the
murals under the overpasses. The City should continue to be bold. The City should
do something at the Transit Center that said this was Dublin.
DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES

Commissioner Vonheeder-Leopold stated the City was known for its art.
Goal # 1 0 OFFER A "VINTAGE FILM SERIES" EVENT 4 TIMES PER YEAR
AT THE DUBLIN HERITAGE CENTER
Mayor Lockhart stated there was a typographical error on this item. The
Commission's ranking on this goal should have read "High".
Additional Objective # 1
DEVELOP A BLACK HISTORY MONTH
CELEBRATION IN FEBRUARY 2009
WORKING COLLABORATIVEL Y WITH
COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES
Commissioner Mack stated she had been approached by a resident regarding this
objective. They had also met with Heritage and Cultural Arts Supervisor Hartnett
and Heritage Center Director Elizabeth Isles and Betty Joe Mack. They discussed
having presentations and events at the Heritage Center, such as performances by
church choirs.
Commission Chair Swalwell stated the City could work in conjunction with City
schools.
Cm. Hildenbrand stated school students had written biographies for Black History
Month. It could be expanded to include a contest or maybe display reports or even
have a reading of reports for this new event.
Mayor Lockhart asked the Commission for more information regarding the Bus
Obscura Program.
City Manager Ambrose stated the Council would receiv.e a report on the Bus
Obscura program at the February 19 City Council meeting.
Heritage and Cultural Arts Supervisor Hartnett stated the City of Livermore was no
longer part of the project. The City of Pleasanton would be meeting on Monday to
decide if they were still going to fund the project with Dublin. It would cost about
$31,000, split between the two cities.
DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
VOLUME 27
SPECIAL MEETING
February 2, 2008
Mayor Lockhart explained Bus Obscura was an art program on which the three
communities had been working. What had happened with the three Cities trying to
do something cooperatively? It kept getting narrowed down.
Cm. Hildenbrand stated this program was originally Art Takes Place, which was
going to consist of multiple events. Bus Obscura was just one part of it.
Commissioner Vonheeder-Leopold stated that when the Cities were deciding how
much money would be needed in September, the people from Livermore stated they
were not sure they could participate. They apparently had not been kept up to date
on the project. Because it was late in the process, the Committee decided on Bus
Obscura and Livermore would not be participating. If Pleasanton voted not to
participate, then Dublin participants would ask for direction from Council as to
whether to have the event sponsored by only Dublin. The artist was on board. The
bus was like a camera obscura, but this involved the entire bus, with music in the
background. The bus would be available to the schools during the week and then in
the communities during the weekends, for a two week span. The Commission
would decide later what recommendation they would provide to the Council.
The Council, Commission and Staff discussed the logistics of residents taking part
in the ten minute Bus Obscura ride, such as different stops for pick up, reservations
or walk up lines for rides, Dublin residents' getting preference in regard to
reservations, the Bus visiting businesses and/or schools, and marketing. These
details would have to be worked out if the City decided to go forward with the
proj ect.
Public Comments:
Martin Baron, Senior Center Advisor, asked if the galvanized fences on either side
of the underpass murals could be replaced.
Bill Schaub, Planning Commission Chair, stated they had discussed this with
Caltrans and they responded that they could not replace the fences.
City Manager Ambrose stated the City had a similar conversation with Caltrans
regarding their property on Dougherty Road and were not successful.
DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
VOLUME 27
SPECIAL MEETING
February 2, 2008
Commissioner Lussie stated the City could use more directional lighting to
illuminate the art instead of the surroundings and the lights also served as a safety
measure.
Cm. Hildenbrand asked if there could be more hands-on art classes during the
summer, maybe a camp. Projects could include origami, pop-up art, use of clay or
other unique arts and crafts.
The Council and Commission discussed lack of space for offering more classes.
There might be more room when the new Shannon Center opened. The library or
Heritage Center might be options for more space. The Murray Schoolhouse and
Old St. Raymond's Church was currently being used for classes.
Vm. Sbranti asked if there had been any interest in a Heritage Teen Camp and asked
about the film series in the Old S1. Raymond Church.
Mr. Hartnett stated there had not been enough interest in the Heritage Teen Camp
this year, but they would try something similar this year. As for the film series,
there would probably four films shown on different nights at the church.
Commissioner Muetterties asked about the impact of the restoration of the museum
and also the status of the Heritage Park.
Mr. Hartnett stated the museum had increased its hours. School tours had increased
and the workshops had done extremely well.
City Manager Ambrose stated in regard to the Heritage Park, the City had acquired
the Dublin Shopping Center and had successfully worked to relocate the tenants,
with the exception of US Banle They would stay on the property because of their
IS-year lease. Staff was working on the assessment of the Kolb structures and
would give the Council and Commissions a report on the properties in the next
month. The schedule would probably be completed at the same time and
demolition would come first.
Mayor Lockhart stated there had been some creative ideas about the Kolb property.
The architects suggested using the buildings for different purposes. The little house
. could be the public restrooms, the Sunday school barn could be a small black box

theater, and the hay barn could be a shade structures. The house could be office
space as well as public space. The buildings would have active uses for the
community.
Cm. Hildenbrand stated the tour was fascinating. The house had never really been
changed. There was so much history in the home, such as pictures and postcards. It
had been wonderfully preserved.
The Mayor thanked Commissioners Lussie and Acuff for their years on the
Commission as they would be termed out of their appointments.

RECESS
10:39 a.m.
Mayor Lockhart called for a brief recess. The meeting reconvened at 10:48 a.m.
with all remaining Councilmembers present.
IV. PLANNING COMMISSIONIDISCUSSION OF GOALS & OBJECTIVES
The Council and Commission discussed the proposed objectives for accomplishing
each of the Planning Commission's goals, focusing primarily on those goals in
which the Staff and Commission rankings differed.
Community Development Director Jeri Ram stated in regard to First Time Home
Buyers Loans, the Housing Committee had proposed to the Planning Commission,
increasing the number of loans to 15. Staff had recommended a total of 10.
Mayor Lockhart asked if funding 15 loans was a reasonable request.
Ms. Ram stated it was a reasonable request because the loans were across the board
in regard to income levels.
City Manager Ambrose stated the City had funded 10 loans already this fiscal year,
and were still within the allocated budget for the loans.
DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
VOLUME 27
SPECIAL MEETING
February 2, 2008
Ms. Ram stated the City was nearing the budgeted amount for loans and would
probably fund 12 loans total this year.
Vm. Sbranti asked if there was an average amount per loan.
Ms. Ram stated the loan amounts varied quite a bit because some were used to buy
Below Market Rate (BMR) units. An average would not provide the Council with a
good feel for amount per loan.
City Manager Ambrose stated the City had allocated $500,000 for this fiscal year
for these loans. There would be money to fund 13 loans and have $19,000 left.
Housing Specialist John Lucero stated the lowest loan had been for $8,000 and the
highest was $58,000-$60,000.
Commission Chair Bill Schaub asked why not measure in dollars budgeted versus
number of loans; make loans until the money ran out
City Manager Ambrose stated the number of loans was tied to Staff workload; that
needed to determine the number of loans due to time spent processing. Because it
was the program's first year, the City was trying to gauge how the program was
received, and how to accommodate the associated workload.
Commissioner Wehrenberg asked if the City had were numbers regarding
foreclosure rates.
Mayor Lockhart stated that when the Tri-Valley Mayors were in Washington, D.C.,
they requested an earmark of $2.6 million for the Housing Opportunity Center for a
three year program that would support people that the Center had worked with in
the region, in getting them into homes. Many of those were BMR units. The
residents would get education and follow up in support of completing applications
for units. The Housing Opportunity Center was suggesting hiring someone that
would work specifically with residents that were now housed to ensure they did not
lose their homes. They would assist in any gap funding needed to keep them in
their homes until they could either sell their home at a reasonable price, or help
them get through a couple of months until their financial situation improved. They
would work with those who were in jeopardy of losing their home. The loan would
DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
VOLUME 27
SPECIAL MEETING
February 2, 2008
be attached to the house so there would be money coming back once the house was
sold to repay the loan and then the money would go back into the program.
Commissioner King asked if with First Time Home Buyer loans, was the City loan
subordinate to the mortgage.
Mr. Lucero stated the City currently underwrote the loans just as a mortgage lender.
The City followed procedures in reviewing credit reports, asked that the applicant
have a vested interest in the property, have three percent down of their own funds
for the transaction, so it was not a 100% financed deal. The City did ask for a deed
of trust on the property for the amount of the loan. There was also title insurance
purchased at the time of the loan closing. If there was a foreclosure, and the bank
did sell the property, the City would get repaid.
Commissioner King asked if the mortgage company foreclosed on a home, would
the company only have to sell" the house to cover its loan. Would they have to sell it
to cover other loans on the house?
Mr. Lucero explained that the City would get a noticed of default if the property
were to go into default, the City would start working with the lender in terms of
how they were working with the owner. At that time, the City's Attorney's Office
would get involved and start working with negotiating with the lender. That
situation had not yet occurred.
Cm. Oravetz asked if the City could end up owning a home.
Mr. Lucero stated no. Most likely the bank would sell it to cover outstanding loans.
If it was a BMR unit, the City had first right of refusal to purchase the home.
Commission Chair Schaub asked what would happen if the City chose not to
purchase the home in terms of the home remaining a BMR unit
Mr. Lucero stated if the executed resale restriction document was recorded before
all the other documents, then the house would remain a BMR unit. If that document
was recorded after the first mortgage, then the affordability clause would disappear.
The City had control over when the resale restriction document was recorded to
ensure that it was recorded first.
DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES

February 2, 2008
City Manager Ambrose stated the Jarvis initiative, which was on the ballot and
precluded rent control, could affect the City's BMR program. There were going to
be attorneys looking at the initiative to determine whether or not in effect, it killed
an inclusionary zoning ordinance. It was Proposition 98.
Commission Chair Schaub asked if that would only apply to new homes.
City Manager Ambrose stated that was something the attorneys would need to
assess if the proposition would have a retroactive application.
Vm. Sbranti asked if the City followed up to ensure financing on these homes was
sound.
Mr. Lucero stated the City did get involved in that aspect. The applicant had to
have minimum credit scores, demonstrate, in some cased three months reserve in
liquid financial accounts they would be able to access in order to make three
months payments. The credit score was a good indicator of ability to pay. There
were five or six salient factors that came into producing the credit score. The City
reviewed all loan documents. They made sure loans did not have negative
amortization or unusual fees. The market was now taking care of itself as far as
loan conditions.
Cm. Oravetz asked at what point did mortgage conditions make the City's BMR
rates less advantageous for buyers.
Mr. Lucero stated that was a market call driven by the market and the developer on
how they were selling and marketing their units. For the City's BMR for-sale
program, the sale price was based on 35% of the gross household income on a
monthly basis. The sales price was dependent on the household that was buying the
home.
Mayor Lockhart asked Mr. Lucero to speak to the City's affiliation with the
Housing Opportunity Center.
Mr. Lucero stated the Tri-Valley Opportunity Center was helping with the City's
affordable housing program and homebuyer education. They provided post-

purchase education and foreclosure counseling services. They were two very
different services. The Center was also helping Arroyo Vista residents relocate into
BMR units and also assisting BMR owners sell their BMR units.
Goal #10 UPDATE CITY'S GENERAL PLAN
Ms. Ram stated that this item had been on the Goals and Objectives since 1996.
One reason Staff had not made it a high priority was because the City was a specific
plan city. There was very little area in the City that was not part of a specific plan.
The process for completing a general plan was very time and Staff intensive, as well
as expensive. Staff did not feel it had been a good idea to put resources in this area
since the City had covered almost the entire City with specific plans.
Mayor Lockhart stated that in regard to the General Plan, would items such as
energy, be included in the General Plan. Could those changes be incorporated into
the General Plan without doing a complete update or could the City complete a
specific plan to incorporate those changes?
Ms. Ram stated there were alternatives. The City could do a General Plan element
like the Housing Element. If the City decided to do an energy element, Staff would
go through the General Plan and make sure all the elements were consistent with
that element.
Mayor Lockhart asked if that could be done without doing a complete General Plan
update.
Ms. Ram stated they would have to go through all the elements of the General Plan
for consistency.
Commissioner Wehrenberg stated in regard to specific plans, they were not always
consistent. That was the reason she would like to see a General Plan update.
Commissioner King asked if there were only three or four items to be reviewed in
the General Plan, would that take less to update, than reviewing the whole General
Plan. There was an inconsistency in the planning text of the General Plan. A
developer might be able to take advantage of those inconsistencies.
DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
VOLUME 27
SPECIAL MEETING
February 2, 2008
City Manager Ambrose stated Staff had been working on cleaning up some of the
General Plan inconsistencies. When Staff had time, they had been working on
them. If there were areas of interest on the part of the Planning Commission, Staff
could focus on those areas.
Vm. Sbranti asked if when specific plans moved forward, was there not a review of
the General Plan as well, for consistency. What would be the amount of Staff time
involved to compare the General Plan with specific plans for consistency?
Ms. Ram stated, for example, there were different areas in the City with different
height limits. That was not inconsistency; those were Council decisions at the time.
The General Plan was not specific enough to where it addressed building height. It
spoke more in general in terms of intensity of land use. There were differences in
specific plans in terms of height. When the City did its Planned Developments
(PD), that was when they became more specific. When the City did a specific plan,
Staff had to make sure that it was consistent with the General Plan. F or example,
when the City completed the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, Staff also went
through the General Plan to make sure the two documents were consistent.
City Manager Ambrose stated, for example, Doolan Canyon was a large area, about
6,000 acres and the plan was worked on in the 1980s. The area was so vast, you did
not have all the detailed planning information, such as examining every piece of
property or environmental issues. You had to look at the plan in the context of the
huge area. Yes, there was room for interpretation. Any of those issues were
worked out wit the more specific planning entitlement issues.
Mayor Lockhart asked if there was a way to define what the City was interested in
seeing so the developer did not come back and say you did not specify this in
particular. Was there a way around those conflicts, probably in what the City was
not looking for?
City Manager Ambrose stated those items could be detailed more in a specific plan.
Cm. Oravetz when the General Plan had last been updated.
DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES

SPECIAL MEETING
February 2, 2008
Ms. Ram stated that after the General Plan, the City had not completed any
visioning with the community because the Council had decided to work on specific
plans. The City would look at specific areas versus the General Plan.
Mayor Lockhart stated the natural break for a General Plan update would be after
the City reached buildout. The City was in the middle of the vision that was
established that had a lot to do with the financials of how the community operated.
To jump in and start changing that know, could drastically affect the services and
the potential the City had in the east that had already been established. Once
development had been completed in the east might be an opportunity for a new
Council to review the General Plan. She was concerned about making those
changes now.
Commissioner Wehrenberg asked if a specific plan trumped the General Plan.
City Manager Ambrose stated the General Plan was general. The Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan and the General Plan for that area, were adopted at the same time.
Other than the Transit Center, there had not been any other Specific Plans adopted
in that area.
Ms. Ram stated that if the Camp Parks redevelopment moved forward, the City
would have to do a specific plan for Camp Parks and amend the General Plan so the
two were consistent. Although there had not been a new General Plan, it had been
amended frequently.
Cm. Hildenbrand stated this issue came up almost every year. The general policy
had been to continue with Specific Plans and at buildout, do a General Plan update.
Commission Chair Schaub stated what the Commission wanted was for Staff to
continue with updates to the General Plan, as was being done.
Goal # 11 DEVELOP POLICY REQUIRING PLAY AREAS IN WALKING
DISTANCE OF NEW HOMES IN NEW SUBDIVSIONS
Commission Chair Schaub stated this request was to provide enough space in
backyards or in project areas for people to have grass for kids to play; have Staff
continue to review this issue.
DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
VOLUME 27
SPECIAL MEETING
February 2, 2008
Ms. Ram stated Staff had heard the Commission and Fallon Crossings had an open
grass area and such areas would be incorporated into Arroyo Vista.
Commissioner King stated he had been impressed with the design of projects, but
there were some that did not have areas for kids to play. A play area did not have to
be a park.
City Manager Ambrose stated the County left the City fairly park deficient on the
.western part of the City. There were more parks or open space in the eastern area of
the City.
The City Council and Staff discussed how parks could be integrated into the
community. Even if there were large parks, parents did not always let their children
venture far without adult supervision. There was a need for more play areas
throughout neighborhoods. Although there was a need for small play areas, the
City still needed large parks for organized sports and practice areas.
Goal #12 COMPLETE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT ON DIMANTO
PROPERTY
Staff had ranked this Goal "Delete," and the Commission had ranked it "Low".
The Commission ranking was for work to begin once there was movement on the
property owner's part.
Additional Objective # 1 BRIEFINGS TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
REGARDING PROPOSED SIGNIFICANT
REDEVELOPMENT. WHICH WOULD INCLUDE SITE
AND/OR LAND USES. WITHIN THE DOWNTOWN
PLANNING AREA
Commissioner King stated he was concerned about the approval of individual
redevelopment projects in the Downtown area. The more individual projects the
City approved, the less options left to have a meaningful study into the specific
plans or design guidelines in these areas. Should there be a moratorium on the
projects in the areas the City was now studying? According to Planning Manager
DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
VOLUME 27
SPECIAL MEETING
February 2, 2008
Mary Jo Wilson, the City Council had already discussed that issue and had elected
to go ahead with individual projects. How could the City avoid the problem?
Could there be a workshop for each project as it arose? Could the Commission be
notified when a project arose in the area in terms of the Community Design Element
to avoid conflicts with overall Design Guidelines?
City Manager Ambrose stated there were two significant projects with entitlements
in the Downtown area, the Windstar project and the A&B project. The Windstar
project was key to the BART Station financing. There would be some problems if
the City tried to inform Windstar that they could not move forward.
Commissioner King asked why the City was paying for a consultant to make plans
if options were being removed with new projects.
Mayor Lockhart stated she thought the reason the City was going through the
Design Guidelines and combining the Downtown Specific Plan was for the next
generation of development. If someone wanted to invest in Dublin's community,
and the City turned them away, there was no way to know if they would come back.
It was not fair to existing landowners and businesses that were depending on this
from the City. The City had to use its best judgment right now of what it looked
like, what it felt like, based on these Design Guidelines. The message the City
would send to developers if it tried to stop development would not be a healthy one.
The BART station would open up ideas for people. It was a long term project.
These guidelines would come into play in the future.
Commission Chair Schaub asked that the Commission be briefed when projects
were submitted.
City Manager Ambrose suggested Staff provide a regular report or monthly report
identifying Planning applications that would be on the Planning Commission's
agenda in the future.
Mayor Lockhart suggested the Council also receive that same information.
Additional Objective #2 EVALUATE THE INCLUSIONARY HOUSING
ORDINANCE WITH RESPECT TO ALL POTENTIAL
OPPORTUNITIES
DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
VOLUME 27
SPECIAL MEETING
February 2, 2008
Commission Chair Schaub stated when a project went to the Planning Commission,
the developer was making the call of building inclusionary housing or paying in-
lieu fees. The Council had the option of requiring the units or funds. He proposed
the Council let the developer know upfront what percentage of units they would
prefer in in-lieu funds (?) and not let the developer make that determination.
Mayor Lockhart asked Ms. Ram how Staff approached the developer with the
concept of building inclusionary housing or paying in-lieu fees. Did they let the
developer know that there was a range of what they could do and did Staff work
with the developer on what the best alternative was before they reached the
Planning Commission?
Ms. Ram stated that Staff did do that. Often times the developer wanted to put
includionary housing in the development as opposed to paying the entire in-lieu
amount. They might come to Staff and asked for something different. When they
asked for something different Staff would set a study session with the City Council.
If something did not seem logical to Staff, they might suggest they do something
different and approach the City Council.
City Manager Ambrose stated the City had done that with Fallon Village and had
been negotiating on the affordable housing agreements based on the City Council's
earlier direction.
Commission Chair Schaub stated that the developers were still coming to the
Commission making the decisions and he believed the City should be managing the
affordable housing asset and telling the developer's what was needed.
Mayor Lockhart stated maybe the City needed a forecast from the Housing
Department as to what the City needed, units or money. As projects came forward,
the Council could then evaluate the agreement based on that information.
Ms. Ram asked if it would be useful to the Council to have that information during
the Budget process.
Mayor Lockhart stated the Budget process would be a good time to have that
information available. The reason to have affordable housing was to integrate
DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES

people of all income levels throughout the community. She understood the
Commission's request.
City Manager Ambrose stated he believed the Commission was saying that if you
have so many units in play already, was the City going to be able to monitor them,
make certain that they remain affordable through the term of the 55 years. The
report the Commission received included both rentals and owned homes. Staff
would show a breakout on the report. In lieu-monies were used for funding the
City's Housing Staff to manage the City's Affordable Housing Program. The funds
were also used to leverage other funds, such as a loan to the Lins for Fairway
Project, and Eden Housing to move project forward with Arroyo Vista, for the
benefit of the City.
Mayor Lockhart stated the Commission was right in the need to look at in-lieu fees
versus units, as the City moved forward to buildout to maintain the affordable units.
Public Comments:
Ms. Muetterties asked about industrial space available in the City.
Economic Development Director Foss stated that the current vacancy rate was
about 10%.
.
There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Lockhart thanked the
Commissioners and Staff for their participation, and adjourned the meeting at 12:14 p.m.
in memory of our fallen troops.
