DESCRIPTION: Robert Enea has been in contact with City Staff to ascertain whether
the City would be interested in having the 21' gazebo currently located at Enea Plaza. Apparently the
gazebo is in the path of the new hookramp access from 1-680 into Downtown Dublin which will be
constructed as part of the 1-580/I-680 Direct Connector Project. Mr. Enea has offered the gazebo to the
City at no cost provided that the City absorb the cost of disassembling and moving the gazebo.
Staff believes that the gazebo would be a positive addition to Shannon Park. The Shannon Park
Community Center is used for wedding receptions and, on occasion, wedding ceremonies are held in the
park. Staff would recommend that the gazebo be located on the grassy area outside of the West Room.
This is the area in the park where most outdoor weddings are held and the gazebo could be an additional
draw for wedding ceremonies.
The preliminary estimate to disassemble the gazebo at the Enea Plaza and reassemble it in Shannon Park,
including a new foundation and replacement of damaged boards, is $4,800. Staff would recommend that
funds for the project be transferred from the Shannon Center Wallpaper and Painting Project which has an
approximate balance of$5,300 due to the fact that bids were less than the budget.
Per Government Code Section 37354, it is recommended that all gifts and contributions be formally
accepted by the City Council. Therefore it is the recommendation of Staff that the City Council accept the
gift of the gazebo and direct Staff to prepare a formal acknowledgment to Robert Enea. Further, Staff
would recommend that the City Council approve the budget change form transferring $4,800 from the
Shannon Center Wallpaper and Painting Project to the Park Maintenance Budget.

REASON FOR BUDGET CHANGE ENTRY: The City has been offered the gift of a gazebo provided the
City pay to disassemble and move the gazebo. As this was not a budgeted expenditure, and given that excess
funds are available in the Shannon paint/Wallpaper Project Budget, a budget transfer to the Park Maintenance
Budget is needed.
