DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 6 VOLUME 27 ,G`,~oFOUB~ REGULAR MEETING 19,~~~~~ June 26, 2008 `` ~ ~~ ~`~IFpR~~ DRAFT 7 ~ 5~ City Manager Richard Ambrose presented the Staff Report and advised that the City Council would consider the Proposed Capital Improvement Program (CIP) which outlined public projects proposed for completion over the next five years. The 2008-2013 Five- Year Capital Improvement Program included fifty-three (53) projects costing a total of approximately $239,879,924. Of this amount, approximately $134.2 million would have been spent in prior years leaving a total of $105.6 million allocated during the five year CIP timeframe. City Manager Ambrose stated the primary differences between this proposed CIP and last year's CIP was that three new projects had been added and a number of projects had been deferred where design and construction were dependent upon development impact fees. The economy and development had slowed, thus the necessity to defer certain projects further out. In May of 2007, City Staff had projected approximately $10.1 million in Public Facility Impact Fees. The revised projection for this year was $2.5 million. Revenue had not come because development had not arrived as of yet. He recommended the City re-evaluate its cash flow before it commenced projects, such as the Fallon Sports Park, which was amulti-year project at a cost of approximately $13 million, to ensure there were adequate funds before a contract was awarded for that project. Vm. Sbranti asked what would happen to the $1.5 million in reserve towards establishing the EOC if the City leased a maintenance facility. Would part of the $1.5 million be used for the lease? City Manager Ambrose stated that would require further evaluation and Staff would be making a report to the Council at its second meeting in July. The report would address the financial implications of a lease. Whether or not the Council approved part of that $1.5 million for the lease would depend on what the Council wanted to do in the long-term. Cm. Hildenbrand asked when the Dublin Gateway project would be funded. City Manager Ambrose stated it would be funded after the roadway portion of the project was completed and as part of the East/West Dublin Enhancement project. That project was funded by federal funds. The Council and Staff reviewed and discussed the CIP's four major categories: General, Community Improvements, Parks, and Streets.

The long term projections .2009-2010 analysis did not address additional staffing to meet daily service demand on growing population; increased contributions to Internal Service Fund to address deferred maintenance and replacement of aging facilities; or City share of Alameda County Fire retiree medical liability. In 2009-2010, Staff projected a $1 million difference between revenues and expenditures. The budget did not include expenditures for Capital Projects from designated reserves. As the City was maturing, there would not be as much money in the future to be used out of the General Fund for many projects for which the City had grown accustomed to using General Funds. Staff would provide an updated Five-Year forecast in October. This budget also did not include the State's budget negotiations. There were potential losses to the City such as loss of the COPS Grant. These potential losses were not put in the City proposed budget. The Council might want to consider a contingency plan to reduce expenses if the State budget had a negative impact. By consensus, the City Council agreed to revisit a contingency plan once the State adopted a budget. The Fiscal Year 2007-2008 projected year-end surplus was approximately $3,450,000.
