On July 1, 1997, the City Council approved an Agreement with DMG & Associates to assist
the City in filing claims for reimbursement of State Mandated Costs. The contract services
were to be paid contingent based upon the City receiving new revenues from the State. A
Budget adjustment is required to appropriate funds for Consultant services which will be
funded by the new revenues. The revenues received will exceed the Consultant cost.

4.5Acceptance of Work Contract 97-13, Shannon Center Floor Replacement Project
The City contracted with Flooring Solutions, Inc., to remove and replace vinyl tile and
carpeting in various locations at the Shannon Community Center. The improvements are

Flooring Solutions for their final invoice and release retention of $1,625.35 after 35 days if there

maintenance of Wireless Communications Facilities on Public Property - Wireless Radio
Transmitters on Street Lights
The City has an agreement allowing Metricom to maintain radios on public property in
exchange for annual fees and/or services. The Agreement provides for City approval of a
change in control of Metricom. The process allows the City to consider terminating the
Agreement in the event of a change in control. Metricom has announced a major change in the
ownership and management of the firm and requested City approval. This action also
coincides with the annual election period for the City to accept services in lieu of the payment
of fees.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Review request and authorize City Manager to consent to
change in control as outlined in the letter from Metricom, provided that the firm is not in breach
of the Agreement, including payment of any monies owed pursuant to the Agreement. In

which the lien has been placed, and to exchange a cash deposit for the release of the lien.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution.
4.8Quitclaim of Dublin Boulevard Extension Remnant Parcels to IHOP Realty corporation

will become effective 60 days following adoption. The proposed fee is $141.70 per acre for

directed to prepare an Ordinance to repeal the current provisions of Chapter 2.28 and reinstate
Chapter 2.28 as it existed prior to Proposition 208 (a $300 limit on contributions with respect
