A new Five-Year Program is proposed for Fiscal Year 2008-2009 through 2012-2013. The Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission is requested to review the proposed CIP for input regarding the heritage and cultural arts projects included in the program. The recommendations of the Commission will be presented to the City Council at the Budget Hearing on June 26, 2008. Projects included in the CIP are presented in four categories: General Improvements, Community Improvements, Parks and Streets. The proposed projects for review by the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission fall under two categories, Community Improvements and Parks. The CIP funding reflects a combination of City resources, State and Federal Grant Funds and development impact fees. The funding source for the identified heritage and cultural arts projects is from the City's General Fund and the Public Art Fund. The heritage and cultural arts projects recommended by Staff for inclusion in the CIP reflects the City's priorities with respect to preserving Dublin's history as well as enhancing community spaces and facilities for Dublin residents. Priorities were determined based on the need for the project and the availability of funding for the project.

This action changed the General Plan land use designation of the Dublin Square Shopping Center from Retail/Office to Parks/Public Recreation. Additionally, the Council adopted the Parks and Recreation Master Plan May 2006 Update and the Dublin Historic Park Master Plan. This project provided for the acquisition of the Dublin Square Shopping Center and includes all costs associated with the land acquisition and relocation of the existing tenants. The land was acquired by the City in May 2007 and the relocation of all tenants was completed in eazly 2008. The estimated cost for land acquisition and tenant relocation is $8,874,516. PROJECTS INCLUDED IN THE PROPOSED FIVE-YEAR CIP, 2008-2013 Dublin Historic Park Development The Dublin Historic Park Master Plan was adopted by the City Council in Fiscal Year 2006-2007. In Fiscal Year 2007-2008 the Dublin Historic Pazk Master Plan Addendum was received by the City Council which resulted in Council approval of the relocation of five Kolb Ranch structures to the Historic Park. The park will be developed in phases as funding becomes available. The design of the Phase I project has been approved and preparation of construction documents is underway with construction estimated to begin in December 2008. Phase I includes the demolition of the existing Dublin Square Shopping Center (excluding the U.S. Bank Building) which will be completed by suinmer, and the relocation of the Kolb Ranch structures and landscape improvements. The estimated cost for Phase I is $5,418,600. The remaining four phases of this project are outside the time frame of this Capital Improvement Program. Shannon Communitv Center Art This project funds the placement of public art within the confines of the Shannon Community Center, which began demolition and construction of the new facility in May 2007. It is anticipated that the Shannon Community Center will reopen in December 2008. An Art Selection Committee recommended three artists for the design, fabrication and installation of artwork in designated areas of the Community Center. The City Council approved the recommendation of artists Margarita Soyfertis, Tricia George and Colin Lambert & Peter Adams in December 2007. The artwork includes two murals in the Pre-School area (Tricia George), one bas wall sculpture relief on the main lobby wall (Colin Lambert & Peter Adams) and two mosaic tile works in the fountain and on the bridge. The total cost for the combined artworks is $95,000 and installation of all artworks will commence in fall 2008. Bus Shelter Art Project Phase II Originally, Phase II included plans to replace six additional bus shelters with a new artist or artists being selected to commission additional bus shelters. In February 2007, the City Council requested Staff to instead, collaborate with the Dublin Unified School District to create student art which would be installed on the back of the identified bus shelters, similar to projects completed in the cities of Livermore and Pleasanton. In March 2008, the City Council approved two additional bus shelters for student art and also approved an Agreement with an Art Consultant to coordinate the project. In Fiscal Year 2008-2009, seven bus shelters will be replaced along Dublin Boulevard and an additional replacement shelter for Amador Valley Boulevard will also be purchased. Staff will work with the School District, LAVTA, and the Art Consultant to create art murals for the eight bus shelters at; Dublin Boulevard at Village Parkway, Dublin Boulevard at Civic Plaza, Dublin Boulevard at Siena Court, the shelters at Dublin Court north and south, Dublin Boulevard at Clark Avenue, Dublin Boulevard at Regional Street and Amador Valley Boulevard 2of3 i i at Donohue Drive. The estimated project cost for artwork for the six bus shelters, including the purchase of one shelter, is $36,050. Transit Center Art In 2003, the Alameda County Surplus Authority (ACSPA) had agreed to contribute $250,000 for construction of public art at the Dublin Transit Center. In 2004-2005, the City Council rated as a high priority goal: work with the developer to locate significant works of art in two key places of the Dublin Transit Center; the Village Green (now called Campbell Green) and the Iron Horse Plaza. In January 2005, the City Council considered art proposals for the first phase of the project, and decided to defer the process to a later date, when 25% occupancy of site B has been accomplished. The 25% occupancy goal has now been reached and a new artist selection process will commence in Fiscal Year 2008-2009. An RFP was sent out to a list of local Art Consultants in June 2008 with the intent of hiring a consultant to coordinate the project. The consultant will work with a new Selection Committee to identify an artist or artist team to commission public art in two identified locations. The estimated cost for the project is $250,000. UNFUNDED PROJECTS One additional project which has been included in the CIP but is expected to occur beyond the timeframe of the CIP is the construction of a 16,000 square foot Cultural Arts Center with a total estimated project cost of $8,880,000. However, it is recommended that this project be re-evaluated during Fiscal Year 2008-2009 as a result of the action by the City Council to relocate structures from the Kolb Ranch to the Dublin Historic Park. These include: the 1,350 square foot Sunday School Barn to serve as a multi-use classroom and black box theater; the 2,500 square foot Main House to serve as a museum, gallery and classroom; and the 300 square foot Old House to serve as a restroom. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission take the following action: 1) Receive Staff presentation 2) Receive public comment 3) Confirm project priorities as proposed by Staff or determine alternate priorities for recommendation to the City Council The City Council will conduct a Public Hearing on the CIP and Fiscal Year 2008-2009 Budget on June 26, 2008 at 6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers of the Dublin Civic Center. 3 of 3
