2) Receive Staff report and public comment
3) Question Staff and the public
4) Close public hearing and deliberate
5) Waive reading and introduce ordinance
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: None
DESCRIPTION: In April of 1983, the City Council adopted Ordinance
4-83 relating to procedures for establishing and changing street names. This
ordinance was adopted as an amendment to Chapter 4 of Title 5 of the Alameda County
Ordinance, which the City of Dublin had adopted by reference.
When the City adopted its own Municipal Code, the provisions of Ordinance 4-83 were
inadvertently omitted. The provisions of Ordinance 4-83 are still in effect;
however, the City Attorney recommends adopting an ordinance which incorporates these
provisions into the Municipal Code.
The language in the proposed ordinance is essentially the same as the language in
Ordinance 4-83, with minor changes to eliminate a reference to the Board of
Supervisors and include the Dougherty Regional Fire Authority in lieu of the DSRSD
Fire Department.
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, deliberate, waive
the reading, and introduce the ordinance.
