The Committee has divided up the work ,and requested that Dublin assist in
sending letters to the Armed Services Personnel and families in the Tri-

In addition, the Committee has recommended that each City fly a similar
banner welcoming home the troops. It is recommended that the City purchase
a banner 3 feet by 20 feet with the wording "DUBLIN WELCOMES HONIE TOWN
HEROES- PARADE, PICNIC, CELEBR.ATION - May 18, 1991, 11:00 a.m. Hacienda
Business Park." This banner would have a flag on one end of the banner and
a yellow ribbon on the other end. The cost of the banner would not exceed
$350, but the installation of the banner would vary depending on the
location selected by the City Council. The banner poles will not be
available for this event in that they have previously been reserved by the
Rowell Ranch Rodeo. Staff has identified three possible locations for the
banner. These locations are 1) the Dublin Sports Grounds fence along
Dublin Boulevard - cost to install $50; 2) the Civic Center Seat Wall
facing Dublin Boulevard - cost to install $100; 3) the east side of San
Ramon Road south of Belina. This would require that poles be installed in
concrete in the landscape area - cost to install $200-$250.
Vice Mayor Jeffery will be able to answer any questions that the Council
may have regarding other aspects of this event.
