Section 2: California Environmental Quality Act. This Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) per CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). Section 15061(b)(3) states that CEQA applies o nly to those projects that have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment. The adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA because the Ordinance does not, in itself, allow the construction of any building or structure, but it sets forth the regulations that shall be followed if and when a building or structure is proposed to be constructed or a site is proposed to be developed. This Ordinance of itself, therefore, has no potential for resulting in significant physical change in the environment, directly or ultimately. Section 3. Severability. The provisions of this Ordinance are severable and if any provision, clause, sentence, word or part thereof is held illegal, invalid, unconstitutional, 4.5.a Packet Pg. 34 At t a c h m e n t : 1 .

Section 4. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect and be enforced thirty (30) days following its adoption. However, until July 1, 2020 City will not enforce those portions of the Ordinance prohibiting the sale the flavored tobacco products or electronic smoking devices. Section 5. Posting. The City Clerk of the City of Dublin shall cause this Ordinance to be posted in at least three (3) public places in the City of Dublin in accordance with Section 36933 of the Government Code of the State of California.

I am a Boy Scout from Boy Scouts Troop 904 in Dublin. Our Troop supports the Aims of Scouting - To Build Character, to Foster Citizenship, and to Develop Fitness. We have 21 scouts in our troop. I have learned a lot about taking care of the environment from Boy Scouts and I would like to bring the same ideas to our public properties such as schools, parks, and trails. My project idea is inspired by one of the aims of scouting: to foster citizenship. I would like to teach the youth in Dublin today to be more responsible towards keeping their environment clean. This benefits the current youth and the youth in the future. My project is to design and create a new type of board game that is fun, yet educational for public and private K-8 schools in Dublin. I plan to gift these board games to the schools during Christmas. The board game will be related to Boy Scout ideas and will educate school kids about Dublin’s parks, trails, historical sites and how to keep them clean. To work on this project, I have eight scouts from my troop signed up to help design and build the board games. This group of eight scouts will work every week for 45 minutes for six weeks starting Nov 6th. I will need $250 to buy the necessary materials for building the board games. I estimate each board game to cost $20 to create and I plan to build 12 board games which totals $240. I estimate the packaging to cost $10 which tallies up the cost to $250 in total. To show the proof that my project used $250, I will provide the Youth Advisory Committee receipts of the materials purchased for the board games, and I will share pictures of the finished board games. I also plan to share pictures of my team of scouts working on the board games 4.6.b Packet Pg. 57 At t a c h m e n t : 2 .

Also, I will show my team of scouts delivering the board games to each of the 12 schools in Dublin. After the schools reopen from Christmas break, I will ask teachers to take pictures of students playing the board game and collect feedback in the form of a video. I plan to share these videos with the YAC as well as use the feedback to improve the board game for next year. I hope the Youth Advisory Committee will help me complete my project!

Yes If yes, please explain how the funding from the Youth Mini Grants was used, if the goals were met, and the impact on the program? Funding from the Youth Mini Grant last year was used to launch our first ever Earth Day Celebration on our school campus, which was a large, public event that showcased how various community and youth leaders are taking steps towards achieving a greener planet. The funds from the grant were used specifically for obtaining decorations and a number of local, sustainable vendors to attend our event and explain the importance of sustainability. These funds made the entire Earth Day Celebration possible, and our goal of educating students about the importance of environmentalism in a fun, engaging way was accomplished, as we had performances, entertainment and even representatives from the California Assembly attending our event to talk about climate change and legislation. These funds had a significant impact on our program and have helped turn this event into a school/community success and a recurring event that students now look forward to for upcoming years.

Our primary purpose and main objective of the club is to create an increased awareness of environmental issues with an emphasis on educating and empowering students to be more involved in maintaining the well-being of our environment. In the past, we have successfully implemented the first stage of a self-sustaining "Rain Garden" on the Quarry Lane campus that not only beautifies the landscape and ecosystem, but also innovatively purifies groundwater using a mix of special soils and native plants. This was entirely a student-driven undertaking, and the club plans on expanding this successful garden during this school year as well. Our club has also conducted park cleanups for Quarry Lane's high school students to encourage all students to be involved in community service aimed at increasing environmental awareness. Some of our major initiatives this coming year are expanding the Rain Garden to other areas of the Quarry Lane campus, implementing more clean- up efforts, collaborating on reforestation projects to help restore local forests and raising awareness through our Earth Day Celebration. Overall, Quarry Lane's Environmental Club is planning on creating positive change that transcends our Quarry Lane campus and allows all of us to take steps towards achieving a greener planet. We are requesting this Youth Mini Grant in order to further expand our Rain Garden project to other areas and also to help fund our reforestation projects and Earth Day Celebration. A Rain Garden is a depressed area in the landscape that collects rainwater from roofs, driveways, parking lots or streets using a mix of special soils and native plants, and allows this runoff to soak into the ground. Planted with grasses and flowering perennials, Rain Gardens can be a cost- effective and beautiful way to reduce water runoff around the school.

In addition, they provide food and shelter for native birds, butterflies and other wildlife, and beautify the surrounding landscape. This Rain Garden project will in turn benefit the youth in Dublin as it will help to create a healthy environment and reduce pollution that will enable the well-being of the youth in Dublin for many generations to come as well. Additionally, the reforestation projects will help restore natural ecosystems destroyed by human intervention and pollution, and the Earth Day Celebration will be a large, public display of environmentalism that will showcase the efforts of various community and youth leaders to create a greener future. All three projects also help foster the growth of youth leaders in our community who actively participate in the betterment of society and take initiative through our club, inspiring them to become more conscientious global citizens. The funds from this Youth Mini Grant will be directed towards helping pay for this expansion of the Rain Garden implementation project (which will approximately cost $2,000 in total), our reforestation projects (which will cost approximately $300) and our Earth Day Celebration (which will cost about $150). So far, Quarry Lane’s Environmental Club has been rigorously fundraising in order to enable the launch of these various projects and has raised approximately $500 for these projects. Last year, we received $300 from the Youth Mini Grant for our large-scale Earth Day Celebration, and this was extremely beneficial as it helped supplement our funds and fundraising efforts so that we were able to successfully complete our first-ever Earth Day Celebration through a student-driven undertaking. The money from the grant was dedicated towards obtaining local sustainable vendors, environmental agencies and entertainment for the event, and 4.6.b Packet Pg. 63 At t a c h m e n t : 2 .

This grant will help to significantly cover the cost of these extremely beneficial projects for our Dublin community and will enable the success of our reforestation projects, expansion of the Rain Garden and continuation of the Earth Day Celebration. The Environmental Club will submit multiple proofs of the transactions (such as invoices of nurseries, receipts, pictures, etc.) to the Youth Advisory Committee in order to ensure that we will be using the money from this mini grant for these causes only.

It has monthly club  meetings to discuss books, talking about both their characters and real-world implications to  foster academic and ethical growth in students. Service opportunities are also available through  annual events such as book drives and read-a-louds.  Project Description  Dublin High School’s OverBooked Book Club will be working in conjunction with other middle  and elementary schools in the Dublin Unified School District to host a book drive for new and  gently-used books of any reading level. These books will then be given to underprivileged  students at Rio Vista Elementary in Bay Point, California. OverBooked will be collaborating with  the school’s chapter of Room to Read, a 501(c)(3) organization promoting global literacy.  Students will have the opportunity to help out and earn service hours in various ways, including  but not limited to: creating posters and flyers, donating books, sorting and packaging books,  visiting the school, etc. They will also get to see the impact they make on children who are not as  fortunate as they are in terms of resources and educational support. The entire project will span  from about mid-November to mid-April, with a collection phase before winter break and a service  phase afterwards.     4.6.b Packet Pg. 68 At t a c h m e n t : 2 .

P.A.T.C.H. received $500 from the Youth Mini Grants during the 2017-2018 school and used the money to fund our second annual Child Abuse Awareness Campaign. $250 of the fund was to buy stickers, and we handed them out at our booth during the campaign, and the rest of the money was spent to print flyers, make poster, and advertise. Our project goals were to get as many donations as possible and to spread awareness on child abuse. All of our project goals were met. We made almost $675 in donations; P.A.T.C.H. Club used this money to fund our our holiday stuffed animal drive during the 2018-2019 school year. We were able to directly benefit Dublin teens by building their awareness of child abuse and by giving them opportunities to help serve the community. Many of the students, staff, and community members involved in Dublin High School reached out to our club and thanked us for spreading knowledge regarding the issue of child abuse. I have reviewed the proposal and to the best of my knowledge, the funds requested from the City of Dublin will be used to provide the services described in this Request for Proposal. I also attest that the above-named organization/club have not received a grant from the City of Dublin within the past year.

Club respectfully requests a Youth Mini Grant of $500 for our 2020 Child Abuse Awareness Campaign and Blanket Project. My name is Annie Jung, and I am a senior at Dublin High School. In August of 2018, I was given the opportunity to help lead the P.A.T.C.H Club (Plushies Aimed to Comfort Hearts) at Dublin High School. Before being offered this opportunity, I was an active member of the P.A.T.C.H. Club. During these times of giving service to others, I realized that even the smallest actions can change a child’s entire life and that P.A.T.C.H. has the ability to expand that impact and to reach out to other children. I was then encouraged to keep the P.A.T.C.H. Club in action so that more lives can be changed. Through P.A.T.C.H., I believe that our club’s actions, volunteering, and support will change the lives of those who are hurting for the better. The P.A.T.C.H. Club provides Dublin teens with opportunities to serve our community through various service projects across the year. Through the events and projects, we aim to raise awareness of child abuse and let others know that child abuse is still a large issue in today’s society. Last year, we collected and donated more than 300 stuffed animals as comfort items for children in need. We also hosted a Blanket Making Project to make and donate blankets to a local shelter. The $500 that was awarded to P.A.T.C.H. Club during the 2017-2018 school year funded our 2018 “Take a Stand” Child Abuse Awareness Campaign. We used $250 to buy the 4.6.b Packet Pg. 73 At t a c h m e n t : 2 .

All of our project goals were met. We were able to directly benefit Dublin teens by building their awareness of child abuse and by giving them opportunities to help serve the community. In recent months, our club has received lots of support from civic leaders, school faculty members, business owners, family, and friends. We are so thankful that the YAC grant enabled us to make such an impact and look forward to expanding that impact through our upcoming projects. Building on the success Child Abuse Awareness Campaigns of our previous school years, which was made possible by the YAC Mini Grant, we are excited to initiate our fourth annual Child Abuse Awareness Campaign at Dublin High in April, National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Child abuse is still a taboo subject and, in most cases, goes unreported because of the fear and shame faced by its victims. Our campaign’s goal is to continue to raise child abuse awareness in our community because awareness is the key to preventing child abuse and to getting more people involved with helping its victims. In our 2020 Child Abuse Awareness Campaign and Blanket Project, we will be handing out waterproof stickers that can be used on water bottles or laptops to spread information about child abuse awareness. Our club will ask for a $1 donation for each sticker, and everyone that donates will be entered into a raffle to win a prize. Our club will be providing a pair of AirPods to use as a prize for our raffle. Our goal is to make 30 fleece blankets for a local abuse shelter or local first responders’ agency. All donations generated from the donations will be used for future projects like our stuffed animal drives. 4.6.b Packet Pg. 74 At t a c h m e n t : 2 .

It will also provide teens with opportunities to work together to serve our community and make a positive impact in the lives of hurting children. Our club respectfully requests a $500 grant for our Child Abuse Awareness Campaign and Blanket Project in April 2020 so that we can hold this service project. The funds will allow us to purchase the following items for our campaign and project: 1) 1 pair of AirPods ($160 for one pair x 1 = $160 ) 2) 240 stickers ($6 for 48 @ Oriental Trading Co. x 5 = $30 ) 3) 30 yds of fleece for 30 blankets @ Joann Fabrics (approx $10/yd x 30 = $300 ) 4) Poster and Printing ( $10 ) Total: $160 + $30 + $300 + $10 = $500 P.A.T.C.H. will keep records of all expenditures and profits generated by the button sales. Pictures will be taken throughout the whole campaign to post on our social media sites to create more interest and participation among Dublin High School students. A full report of the project can be presented to the Youth Advisory Committee after the event. Thank you for your time and consideration of our request. I hope to hear from you soon.

I’m Trishala Jain, and I’m in the process of planning Dublin’s first ever TED talk event for the youth, planned by the youth! TEDxYouth@Dublin is an independently organized TED event being hosted at Dublin featuring student speakers coming from Dublin High School, Valley Christian, and Quarry Lane. Set to take place on January 18th of 2020 in Dublin High’s Performing Arts Center, this event will encapsulate what it means to be a teen living in Dublin, all while discussing issues that our city and the global community face. The overarching theme of our event is “A Mindful Tomorrow,” and as interpreted by the title, the event will focus on how both teens and adults can practice mindful habits and work towards a more conscious society. Examples of featured topics include fast fashion, digital detoxes, smart financing, and sensible eating, and all carry a message of working towards a more sustainable future. The goal of this event is not only to inspire youth and teens to think about how they can live a more mindful life, but also connect with the larger community of Dublin: small business owners, parents, and educators, and teach them something about mindfulness as well. The entire event will span about 3 hours and will feature roughly 6-7 individual segments including traditional talks, skits, and audience-interactive sessions. All Dublin youth will have the opportunity to submit an application to be a speaker for the event, and the entire Dublin youth community, including students from elementary, middle, and high schools across the city will be invited to attend. I hope to partner with clubs such as DECA, culinary, and mental awareness across the various schools to find a group of varied and diverse speakers. 4.6.b Packet Pg. 79 At t a c h m e n t : 2 .

The PAC does offer a discounted rate for non-profits, but it is still a significantly large amount to cover, including set-up fees and custodial charges. Funds will also be used for marketing tools, such as posters, banners, and flyers, which would be immensely helpful in attracting a large and diverse crowd. Here is a breakdown of our costs: Non-refundable application fee $100.00 Technician (Required by PAC) $30.00 per hour × 3 hours House Manager (Required by PAC) $20.00 per hour × 3 hours Rental Fee (Non-profit) $240.00 per hour × 3 hours Marketing materials $150.00 Total $1120.00 Any additional fees that are not covered by the City of Dublin’s Youth Mini-Grant will be covered out-of-pocket. The Youth Advisory Committee will be given proof of how the funds were used through receipts from Adam Fresquez, the PAC manager to prove that funding went towards securing a venue. The Committee will also receive an official license confirmation from TED, and multiple pictures from the event to verify where and how the funds were used. Thank you all for your consideration and I hope to see everyone at Dublin’s first ever TEDx event!

Our mission is to provide quality education for the less fortunate in our own community. Many people in Dublin overlook the fact that we have children and families who can’t afford to buy supplies for school, creating a hindrance in their future. We want to help these students by fundraising in various ways. In the past we have partnered with restaurants like Menchie’s and Mirchi Cafe, raising $300. Previously, we donated $200 to a nonprofit organization, Yours Humanly, which has a similar mission to our club. However, we want to be able to raise a lot more money this school year. Based on past experience, we are holding fundraisers at school to have more visibility with the students at Dublin High School. We held a Yankee Candle Fundraiser which is partnered with Yankee Candle themselves, where we received 40% of the profits. Also, we created a Snap Raise profile to use throughout the year to raise funds from family members and friends. Through all of our fundraisers, we raised over $1,500. This is just a few of the fundraisers we have planned for this school year. We are amidst planning more fundraisers. We want to support these children to the best of our ability. Our goal is to fundraise $1,000 to buy backpacks filled with school supplies for those children. In order to reach our goal of $1,000, we need your support. We have created a list of supplies that will be in each backpack, costing around $12 per backpack. With our goal of $1,000, we will be able to provide 80+ 4.6.b Packet Pg. 84 At t a c h m e n t : 2 .

With any funds that we are granted, we will use it towards purchasing prepackaged backpacks from our wholesale provider. We are going to donate all these supplies to the children at a local school in Dublin called Kidango. Each student attending that school does not have the privilege or financial support to be able to buy supplies each school year. We want them to focus on making their future stable by easing some of their tensions. In the past, we have also held a nutrition program at the school where we taught the basics of nutrition to the students through various activities. Our overall mission is to aid these children, we have done in various ways and will continue to serve our community in this fashion. If we are granted the funds we are requesting, we will provide proof of the receipts for each of the supplies that were bought with a complete breakdown that was purchased for each student. We will also take pictures at the event when we hand out backpacks to the students. Again, in the past we visited the school for our backpack and nutrition programs. For our backpack program, the funds were used to purchase the backpacks and for the nutritional program, we used the funds to purchase snacks and interactive activities to teach the students. Both of our programs helped the students understand that even at a young age, they can make decisions to lead a better life. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to working with you all. 4.6.b Packet Pg. 85 At t a c h m e n t : 2 .

DESCRIPTION: Background Grafton Plaza is a 12.23-acre mixed-use development located at the southeast corner of Dublin Boulevard and Grafton Street (see Figure 1 below). The 3.68 -acre project site is the last remaining development area within the larger Grafton Plaza project. The project site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Mi xed Use 2/Campus Office 4.7.a Packet Pg. 89 At t a c h m e n t : 1 . C i t y C o u n c i l S t a f f R e p o r t D a t e d J a n u a r y 1 4 , 2 0 2 0 ( G r a f t o n P l a z a D a y c a r e a n d R e t a i l P r o j e c t ) Page 2 of 9 and has Planned Development Zoning. The project site is relatively flat and undeveloped. In June 2010, the City Council approved a General Plan Amendment and Planned Development Zoning District with a Stage 1 Development Plan (Ord inance No. 10-10) for the 12.23-acre Grafton Plaza project to allow a mixed-use development as Option 1 and a campus/office development as Option 2. The approved development plan allows a range of commercial uses such as retail and tutoring/educational ser vices, professional and administrative offices, hotel, entertainment, and eating and drinking establishments. The property owner chose to proceed with development under Option 1 to create a mixed-use development. The City Council held several Study Sessions to review the proposed master plan for Grafton Plaza, and in April 2016, approved a Planned Development Zoning Stage 2 Development Plan (Ordinance No. 05-16) for the site. The Planned Development Zoning serves as a master plan for a coordinated and integrated mixed-use development with sites for a hotel, 115 townhomes, and a retail commercial center with 34,500-55,400 square feet of development. The Stage 2 Development Plan established the overall site plan including vehicular access and circulation, general siting of the buildings, on-site circulation, and an overarching priority to create a pedestrian -focused development. The 127-room, 63,298-square-foot Aloft hotel is complete, and the 115- unit Apex townhouse project is under construction. The Applicant, Eddie Li, is proposing to construct the third and final phase of Grafton Plaza, which is the retail commercial component. The proposed project implements the master plan and includes three commercial buildings totaling 31,860 square feet, including two retail buildings with 16,038 square feet and 6,055 square feet, respectively, and a daycare building with 9,767 square feet and an integrated outdoor play area. The current request for the proposed project includes: - Planned Development Zoning – Minor amendments to the Planned Development Zoning Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plans. - Site Development Review Permit – Site Development Review Permit for three commercial buildings and associated site improvements, including landscaping, trash enclosures, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, plazas, and stormwater capture. - Minor Use Permit – Minor Use Permit to allow a reduction in parking of 16 parking stalls for shared parking. 4.7.a Packet Pg. 90 At t a c h m e n t : 1 .

The PD established permitted and conditionally permitted uses. This project proposes to amend the list of permitted and conditionally permitted uses (Attachment 1 – Exhibit A) to add daycare as a permitted use consistent with other similar City zoning districts. The use would be added with the requirement for a Zoning Clearance or Minor Use Permit to evaluate compliance with the development standards for daycare facilities contained in Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 8.82. The PD established a site plan which among other things identifies the location of buildings along Grafton Street and along the southern boundary of the commercial area. The PD also established vehicular and pedestrian access points, paseos, common gathering and open space plaza areas, and coordinated architectural elements . The intent of the PD is to create an integrated mixed-use development (see Figure 2 below). Apex Residential Aloft Hotel Grafton Plaza 4.7.a Packet Pg. 91 At t a c h m e n t : 1 .

Therefore, the application includes minor amendments to the PD to relocate the east- west pedestrian pathway shown on the approved site plan. No changes are proposed to the approved vehicular access. As proposed, this minor revision to the site plan would be consistent with the development regulations in the Stage 2 Development Plan and overall intent to maximize commercial opportunities in the area. Refer to the Site Development Review Permit, below, for further analysis of the site plan. Figure 2 – Existing and Proposed Site Plan EXISTING STAGE 2 SITE PLAN PROPOSED AMENDMENT An Ordinance approving amendments to the Planned Development Zoning Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plans for Grafton Plaza is included as Attachment 1. Site Development Review Permit Site Plan The proposed site plan would provide interconnected pedestrian and vehicular circulation throughout the site and connections to adjacent developments. As previously noted, minor adjustments to building siting and footprints are proposed requiring the relocation of a pedestrian pathway that would traverse the site east to west to connect Grafton Street and the residential component of the project. The pathway would be relocated approximately 50 feet to the north and located on the north side of “Retail B” and the day care building. Additional pedestrian connections would remain for the north to south pathway from Dublin Boulevard to the Water Quality Basin. Vehicular access to the proposed surface parking lot on the project site would be provided from the driveway off Summit Road consistent with the Site Plan approved for Grafton Plaza. Summit Road is accessed from Dublin Boulevard and is designed to serve this project and the Apex residential development. Circulation for all parcels within the overall Grafton Plaza mixed-use project is interconnected including along Grafton Street, allowing both pedestrians and vehicles to navigate through the entire property.

However, it is the intention of the Planned Development for buildings to be oriented along Grafton Street, adding to the ‘Main Street’ feel and contributing to the existing commercial operators on the west side of the street. Both retail buildings would be orientated toward Grafton Street and the daycare building would be located centrally on the project site without street facing frontage. Integration among the three projects that comprise the Grafton Plaza Planned Development (i.e., the Aloft Hotel, Apex residential townhouses, and proposed retail and daycare buildings) includes: 1) a motor court plaza with enhanced pavement centrally located on-site; 2) a linear ’Plaza’ element between the commercial and hotel uses that extends across Grafton Street to Summit Road; and 3) a pase o element between the hotel and residential uses. The paseo would provide a link to the trail accessing the Water Quality Basin to the south (visual open space). Architecture The proposed buildings are designed to conform to the Grafton Plaza Architectura l Guidelines and would be compatible with the Apex residential townhouse and Aloft Hotel projects. The overall form of the two buildings fronting Grafton Street are reflective of the ‘Main Street’ appearance of the existing buildings with the centrally loc ated daycare building promoting a more modern design while retaining the high design quality, theme colors, and materials of the surroundings. The retail and daycare buildings are generally single-story with architectural features providing vertical Figure 3: Site Plan 4.7.a Packet Pg. 93 At t a c h m e n t : 1 .

The majority of buildings in the project would be single -story, 35 feet high, with taller architectural features at approximately 50 feet, which would be below the height limit evaluated for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) analysis of 55 feet. The varying forms and mass of the buildings generate interest throughout the project. The prominent colors of the buildings are natural earth tones with brick accenting throughout, along with clear glazing and projecting canopies. The daycare building is designed with graphic inserts to provide a visual queue to the educational use of the building. Figure 4 shows proposed illustrative architectural elevations. Figure 4: Architectural Elevations Retail uses are proposed to front Grafton Street, with public access for future businesses. Exterior materials include textured stucco finish, brick, and metal accents. Horizontal and vertical variation through canopies, alternating parapet heights and roof feature elements. Pedestrian entries to the commercial areas are defined with prominent glass entryways and pronounced entrances. Decorative features and materials are also added to provide interest to the building . Landscape The preliminary landscape plan includes a conceptual plant pallet with a variety of trees, including 24-inch and 36-inch box trees along the perimeter of the site, within parking islands and in front of commercial facades. The interior of t he site would be accented with a mix of one-gallon to five-gallon shrubs. New landscape areas are proposed with a variety of drought tolerant plants suitable for low maintenance and water conserving efforts. The pedestrian connections running to the east -west and north-south would be lined with landscaping to enhance the pedestrian experience. On the north -south connection to the Water Quality Basin, a bioretention area is proposed to be introduced. In order to retain the amenity value of this space, the landscaping would be enhanced to provide a planting plan, walkway, and amenity features such as benches, as provided on Sheets L1.1-L3.2 of the Project Plans (Attachment 3 – Exhibit A to Attachment 2). 4.7.a Packet Pg. 94 At t a c h m e n t : 1 .

Minor Use Permit Parking requirements for the proposed development are regulated by the Zoning Ordinance (Section 8.76.080.D). The parking requirem ents for the project are the sum of the different uses. The following table illustrates the number of parking stalls that are required for the use. Table 1: Required Parking Use Parking Requirement Total Area Required Number of Parking Stalls Daycare Center 1 per employee 1 per company vehicle 1 loading space for every 5 children 17 employees 0 vehicles 160 students 17 0 32 General Retail 1 per 300 square feet 6,193 square feet 21 Eating and Drinking Establishment 5,900 square feet accessible to customers 1 space per 100 square feet of accessible plus 1 space per 300 square feet of not accessible 59 10,000 square feet not accessible to customers 33 Total Stalls Required 162 Total Stalls Provided 146 In order to allow the proposed use with les s than the required number of parking spaces on-site, the Applicant is requesting a parking reduction. DMC Section 8.76.050 (Parking Reductions for Shared Parking) provides that when shared off -street parking is proposed between two or more adjacent use types, a reduction in off-street parking requirements (from the sum of the parking required by each use type) may be granted with a Minor Use Permit if each of the following standards are met: 1) The Minor Use Permit findings can be made; 2) A sufficient number of spaces are provided to meet the greatest parking demands of the participating use types and to ensure that there will not be a parking deficiency; 3) Satisfactory evidence is provided that the use types, by their natures and operating times, will not conflict with each other; 4) Overflow parking will not adversely affect any adjacent use; and 5) Additional documents, covenants, deed restrictions, or other agreements as may be deemed necessary by the Community Development Director are executed to assure that the requirement parking spaces provided are maintained and that uses with similar hours and parking requirements as those uses sharing the parking facilities remain for the life of the documents, covenants, deed restrictions, or other agreements. 4.7.a Packet Pg. 95 At t a c h m e n t : 1 .

The Study concludes that Transportation Demand Management measures can be incorporated to ensure adequate parking is provided for the greatest parking demands at the site. Recommended measures to support the parking reduction are included as Conditions of Approval. These include a requirement that 17 off-site parking spaces along Zenith Avenue and Summit Road be designated for employees (Monday to Friday 7.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m.), six spaces within the parking lot be designated loading zones with a 10 -minute stopping restriction (Monday to Friday 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) and the remaining stalls (119 spaces) be open to visitor parking. Adjacent sites would not be affected; however, measures are included to accommodate reciprocal agreements with neighboring sites, should off -site parking be required. The recommendations of the Shared Parking Analysis have been accepted by the Applicant, including the Conditions of Approval. A Resolution approving the Site Development Review Permit and Minor Use Permit is included as Attachment 2. CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN, SPECIFIC PLANS, AND ZONING ORDINANCE: The project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of Mixed Use/Campus Office which allows a range of commercial uses including regional- and community-serving retail uses, professional and administrative offices, hotel, entertainment, and eating and drinking establishments. The General Plan encourages projects to relate well to the surrounding developments, and the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood that includes commercial a nd residential uses. The proposed project is consistent with the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan because the Plan states that regionally-oriented commercial uses should be located south of Dublin Boulevard and near freeway interchanges where convenient vehicu lar access will limit traffic impacts to the rest of Dublin and the commercial center is intended to serve the community as well as the region. REVIEW BY APPLICABLE DEPARTMENT AND AGENCIES: The Building Division, Fire Prevention Bureau, Public Works Dep artment, and Dublin San Ramon Services District reviewed the project and provided Conditions of Approval where appropriate to ensure that the Project is established in compliance with all local Ordinances and Regulations. Conditions of Approval from these departments and agencies have been included in the attached Resolution (Attachment 2). ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: In accordance with the requirements of the CEQA, two Initial Studies/Mitigated Negative Declarations (MNDs) were previously prepared and adopted to address environmental concerns associated with development of Grafton Plaza. Based on a review of the project, no further environmental document is needed because the environmental impacts of this project were fully addressed in the previous MNDs. There is no 4.7.a Packet Pg. 96 At t a c h m e n t : 1 .

PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW: The Planning Commission considered this project at their meeting on D ecember 10, 2019, and by a vote of four to one recommended that the City Council deny the project. No members of the community addressed the Commission. The Planning Commission expressed concern regarding: 1) on-site circulation, including how drop-off/pick-up of children associated with the proposed daycare facility would function and the previously established point of access to the site from Dublin Boulevard via Summit Road; 2) traffic from the project particularly in the morning when parents are droppin g off children at the daycare facility, combined with residential traffic from Apex; and 3) the previously approved building locations which lack a building along Dublin Boulevard, and the orientation of buildings with access from the parking area and turning their backs on Grafton Street. The Planning Commission Resolutions recommending denial of the project are included in Attachment 5. PUBLIC NOTICING: In accordance with State law, a public notice was mailed to all property owners and occupants within 300 feet of the project site. A public notice also was published in the East Bay Times and posted at several locations throughout the City. A Planning Application sign was posted on the project site and the project was also included on the City’s development projects webpage. A copy of this Staff Report has been provided to the Applicant. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Ordinance Amending the Planned Development for Grafton Daycare and Retail 2.

RECITALS A. The Applicant, Eddy Li, is proposing to construct three commercial buildings totaling 31,860 square feet on a 3.68-acre site within a portion of the 12.23-acre Grafton Plaza site. The proposed development and applications are collectively known as the “Project.” B. The project site is located south of Dublin Boulevard between Summit Road and Grafton Street within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area, and more specifically within the Grafton Plaza Planned Development. C. On May 18, 2010, the City Council approved a Planned Development Rezone with related Stage 1 Development Plan for Grafton Plaza which included the subject site (Ordinance No. 10-10). On April 19, 2016, the City Council approved the Stage 2 Development Plan (Ordinance No. 05-16). The subject site was identified in the approved Ordinance as Commercial. D. On May 18, 2010, the City Council adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) by City Council Resolution No. 75-10 in connection with approval of the Grafton Plaza Planned Development Rezone and related Stage 1 Development Plan. E. In compliance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the project was examined to determine if another environmental document should be p repared. The analysis concluded that the environmental impacts of the Project were analyzed in the previous MND. There is no substantial evidence in the record that any new effect s would occur, that any new mitigation measures would be required, or that an y of the conditions triggering supplemental environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 exists. F. Following a properly noticed public hearing on December 10, 2019, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution 19-13, recommending denial of the Planned Development Rezone and related amendments to the previously approved Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plans, which resolution is incorporated herein by reference and available for review at City Hall during normal business hours. G. A Staff Report dated January 14, 2020, and incorporated herein by reference, described and analyzed the Project, including the Planned Development Rezone and related amendments to the previously approved Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plans, for the City Council. 4.7.b Packet Pg. 98 At t a c h m e n t : 2 .

On January 14, 2020, the City Council held a properly noticed public hearing on the project, including the proposed Planned Development Rezone and related amendments to the previously approved Stage 1 and Stage 2 Development Plans, at which time all interested parties had the opportunity to be heard. SECTION 2. FINDINGS A. Pursuant to Section 8.32.070 of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as follows: 1. The Project PD-Planned Development meets the purpose and intent of Chapter 8.32 in that it provides a comprehensive development plan that creates a desirable use of land that is sensitive to surrounding land uses by virtue of the layout and design of the site plan. 2. Development of the Project under the PD-Planned Development zoning will be harmonious and compatible with existing and future development in the surrounding area in that the site will provide new commercial uses in an area that has similar uses nearby and is also adjacent to existing and future workplaces and residential neighborhoods promoting pedestrian and circulation linkages from surrounding uses. B. Pursuant to Sections 8.120.050.A and B of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council finds as follows. 1. The PD-Planned Development zoning for the Project will be harmonious and compatible with existing and potential development in the surrounding area in that: - The Project is planned as an integrated portion of a mixed-use community with distinct but coordinated commercial, hotel and residential uses, and with development standards tailored to the specific needs of each use while maintaining the common areas and interconnections that unite the project elements. - Unifying landscape and architectural treatments and elements link the commercial, hotel and residential uses. - The Project provides interconnected pedestrian and vehicular circulation, interspersed with public plaza’s and open spaces. This layout, in addition to the designated land uses and design guidelines, provide places to shop, stroll, and meet family and friends in a vibrant, comfortable, and contemporary setting. - Truck traffic patterns are designed to avoid any future residential area(s) and the conventional retail/commercial streetscape along the Grafton Street extension while still serving the needs of the retail tenants. 2. The project site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the zoning district being proposed in that the project site is flat with improved streets and served by existing public utilities. The project site conditions were documented in the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) that was previously adopted, and the environmental impacts that have been identified will be mitigated to the greatest degree possible. There are no site challenges that were identified in the MND that will present an impediment to utilization of the site for the intended purposes. There are no major physical or topographic constraints 4.7.b Packet Pg. 99 At t a c h m e n t : 2 .

The PD-Planned Development zoning will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare in that the Project will comply with all applicable development regulations and standards and will implement all adopted mitigation measures. 4. The PD-Planned Development zoning is consistent with and in conformance with the Dublin General Plan, in that the proposed commercial center is consistent with the Mixed Use/Campus Office land use designation for the site. C. On May 18, 2010, the City Council adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) by City Council Resolution No. 75-10 in connection with approval of the Grafton Plaza Planned Development Rezone and related Stage 1 Development Plan. Pursuant to CEQA, the Project was examined to determine if any further environmental review is required. SECTION 3. AMENDMENTS TO THE EXISTING STAGE 1 & STAGE 2 DEVELOPMENT PLANS 1.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Receive the Staff Report and provide input and direction on the Public Art Master Plan update. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Public Art Fund, established to account for the collection and use of developer fees, was established in January 2007 following the adoption of the Public Art Maste r Plan and Public Art Ordinance. Currently, the Public Art Fund has a balance of $4,670,732, with eight projects currently in various stages of completion, encumbering approximately $1,244,825. The remaining balance of $3,425,907 is available to be used for future projects. DESCRIPTION: In February of 2019, GreenPlay LLC, a nationally recognized parks and recreation management consulting firm, was contracted to review and update the 2006 Public Art Master Plan. The update by GreenPlay began with a comprehensive review of the current Public Art Master Plan and projects that have been completed under the original guidelines established. In April through June of 2019, as part of its community outreach for the Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update, several community and focus group meetings were held to solicit community input. Feedback was also solicited via a community survey, using both targeted outreach and open -link surveys. Targeted outreach is done to ensure accurate random sampling occurs. In August of 2019, GreenPlay began writing the draft plan using the results of the outreach efforts. 8.1 Packet Pg. 147 Page 2 of 2 At its September 12, 2019 meeting, the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission received a presentation from GreenPlay and reviewed the draft 2020 update. The 2020 update includes a revised vision and goals, a list of new opportunities for Public Art, recommendations for significant changes, and an appendix to the Plan that includes guidelines to streamline processes. Recommended strategies and opportunities that are incorporated in the 2020 update include: • Focused effort on art in the Downtown • Allowance of additional use of public art funds • Partnerships with non-profit organizations • Historic Camps Parks sign relocation and restoration project • Arts grant program A full version, in draft format, of the revised Public Art Master Plan is included as Attachment 2. Next Steps Should the City Council direct Staff to fully incorporate the recommended strategies and opportunities that are outlined in the 2020 Public Art Master Plan update, Staff will bring a recommendation to the Planning Commission as an ordinance change would be required to achieve the desired outcomes. This includes use of Public Art Funds for promotion of new and existing artwork, and arts grants, as the current ordinance limits the use of Public Art funds to tangible art pieces. Staff would then return to the City Council at a later date for formal approval and adoption. At this time, Staff is seeking input on the draft Public Art Master Plan 2020 update. No formal action is required. STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE: None. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: None. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

To date, over 30 pieces of City-owned public art have been installed in notable places, including artwork for the Shannon Community Center, Emerald Glen Recreation and Aquatic Complex, Bray Commons, and Fallon Sports Park. In addition, more than a dozen works have been installed on private property.Dublin’s development of a strong public art program is evident. As the City nears its build out, it is important that future decisions about public art are strategic in nature to meet the overall needs of the community. The Plan presented in this report addresses these future needs. The adoption of the Public Art Master Plan Update will continue the City of Dublin’s commitment to sustaining a healthy public art program by:•Establishing a policy that appropriates a percentage of City of Dublin Capital Improvement Project funds forpublic art.•Requiring developers, by ordinance, to provide a set-aside for public art enhancement in private development.•Ensuring the preservation and maintenance of the City’s art collection.•Enhancing community participation in the public art process.•Providing a support system for local artists who work in the City’s Public Art Program.•Celebrating Dublin’s history and diversity through a broad range of public art projects.•Enhancing the City’s Downtown by using public art to animate the City’s public spaces.•Promoting the economic vitality of the City by using public art to brand areas of DublinHistory Public art adds value to a community. Some are obvious and practical – adding color and visual interest, boosting aesthetic appeal, discouraging vandalism and identifying the unique history or purpose of a place. Others are subtle, but equally beneficial – celebrating diversity, highlighting shared experience, provoking thought, conversation and reflection, or inspiring emotions, like a sense of peace and well-being, excitement, joy, and community pride.Dublin’s public art program first began in the late 1980s, shortly after Dublin’s incorporation, as a partnership between the City of Dublin and the nonprofit Dublin Fine Arts Foundation. The foundation contracted with an art consultant and raised funds to purchase and commission public artwork, which it was then gifted to the City for placement at City facilities.In 1997, the City of Dublin adopted its first Public Art Policy, which encouraged private developers to either include artwork within their developments or contribute to the City’s Public Art Fund. The policy detailed criteria for artwork and artist selection and guidelines for implementation. The original Policy identified the Dublin Fine Arts Foundation to serve in an advisory capacity to the City and developers on public art projects.In 1999, Dublin established a Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission to act in an advisory capacity to City Council on matters pertaining to art, including public art.In 2003, a consultant was hired, and a Public Art Master Plan Task Force was convened.Dublin’s initial Public Art Master Plan adopted in 2006 recommended the establishment of a Public Art Fund and Public Art Ordinance. The Public Art Master Plan also included detailed guidelines for both City and private development projects. These guidelines were carefully crafted based on best practices in the public art industry at the time.8.1.bPacket Pg. 194Attachment: 2. Draft 2020 Public Art Master Plan (Public Art Master Plan Update) DRAFT7Introduction City of Dublin Parks & Community Services Public Art Master PlanPlanning Methodology The consultant firm, GreenPlay was selected to review and update the 2006 Public Art Master Plan. As part of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan update community survey, GreenPlay asked about the importance of public art to the community and their support for public art. In addition to the community survey, GreenPlay also asked participants in the focus groups and stakeholder interviews about their support for public art.I am a Dublin resident of 19 years and love the public art here. Thank you for involving citizens in the next phases of public art... Excited to see what pieces are chosen next for the City!“”8.1.bPacket Pg. 195Attachment: 2.

Draft 2020 Public Art Master Plan (Public Art Master Plan Update) DRAF10City of Dublin Parks & Community Services Public Art Master Plan Guiding PrinciplesOasis, Wowhaus, 2013 Campbell GreenPublic Art Program PurposeThe purpose of Dublin’s Public Art Program is to inspire civic pride among its residents and strengthen the City’s regional identity by enhancing public spaces, giving character to neighborhoods and business districts, and providing numerous opportunities for people to experience visual art.Goals Public Art Program Goals1.Enhance pedestrian- friendly public spaces such as parks, plazas, pathways, parking lots and other places wherepeople travel or gather.2.Strengthen the unique character of individual neighborhoods, business districts (such as the Downtown) andtransit corridors with artwork.3.Enhance the City’s identity and regional image by actively promoting Dublin’s unique public art collection.4.Encourage the creation of artworks that are integrated into the City’s built environment, including signage,gateways, sidewalks, bus stops, bollards, parking structures, crosswalks and other public amenities.5.Involve artists in the planning of spaces designated for public art.6.Ensure community participation in artwork development, through outreach opportunities for local artists tocreate and display work, and education outreach to the community.7.In new developments, support the design themes, goals and objectives of the development by working with adeveloper with the installation of public art.8.In rehabilitation of existing developments, further the design themes and goals of the area by working withresidents and business owners as well as City planners and private developers regarding public art planningand development.8.1.bPacket Pg. 198Attachment: 2. Draft 2020 Public Art Master Plan (Public Art Master Plan Update) DRAFT11Recommendations City of Dublin Parks & Community Services Public Art Master PlanSection 3RECOMMENDATIONSRecommended Strategies To further Dublin’s Public Art Program goals and remain a leader in the Tri-Valley, it is recommended that the City consider the following actions:1.Focus Public Art Acquisition Efforts on Downtown DublinThe City continues to realize the vision of the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan. To further its efforts, it is recommended that a significant portion of the City’s in-lieu Public Art Fees ($1.5 million) be set aside for a major public art investment in Downtown Dublin to be spread between permanent work and infrastructure to support temporary installations. This investment could fund a variety of sizes and types of art in Downtown Dublin.Survey respondents ranked Downtown Dublin as the number one location they would like to see new public art, with a majority requesting lighted pieces (66%) and artistic benches or seat walls (50%).As Downtown Dublin continues to develop, the City should work with Downtown merchants and non-profit arts organizations to encourage and support privately funded art, temporary installations and art related events in Downtown Dublin.2.Allow Additional Uses for Public Art FundsAmend the Public Art Ordinance to allow for funding of art related promotional and outreach materials such as maps, interpretative signage, and online applications. This will provide an opportunity to promote past and future investments in public art in Dublin and create interactive tools for visitors and residents to experience the artwork.Survey respondents indicated interest in promoting arts by use of maps (59%) and interpretative signage (48%). Currently, the Ordinance limits the funds for art acquisition, maintenance, and administration.Archway, Billick and Corliss, 1999 (photo courtesy The Independent)8.1.bPacket Pg. 199Attachment: 2. Draft 2020 Public Art Master Plan (Public Art Master Plan Update) DRAF12City of Dublin Parks & Community Services Public Art Master Plan Recommendations3.Work with Camp Parks to Develop the Historic Sign Relocation, Restorationand Art ProjectAmend the Public Art Ordinance to allow for additional expenses related to the relocation, preservation and restoration of significant works by renowned architects when accompanied with a public art piece. This change will allow the City to partner with Camp Parks’ to preserve, relocate and restore the iconic wooden sign, designed and built around 1943 by renowned American architect Bruce Goff. The work is an outstanding example of early mid-Century architecture and serves as an important piece of history in the community.8.1.bPacket Pg. 200Attachment: 2. Draft 2020 Public Art Master Plan (Public Art Master Plan Update) DRAFT13Opportunities City of Dublin Parks & Community Services Public Art Master PlanSection 4OPPORTUNITIESAs the City builds out and Downtown Dublin is transformed with modern, transit-oriented mixed- use developments and walkable retail and restaurant areas, there are many opportunities to incorporate public art throughout the City. This section identifies different types of projects and locations where the City may wish to locate public art in the future.:City ProjectsCity projects are developed, funded, and owned by the City of Dublin. The valuation of public art projects in the City’s Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) are typically based on 1-2 percent of the construction budget.Additional funds may be added if the percentage does not yield a large enough art budget to accomplish the desired work. Public art associated with CIP projects are ideally planned to be in place at the time the project is completed and open to the public.The City currently owns over 30 permanent public art pieces, including large scale permanent outdoor artwork, as well as 14 temporary utility box murals.City Projects that are underway, planned, or in consideration in 2020 include:CIP projects at Public Buildings:• Public Safety Complex Public Art• Future Cultural Art Center at Civic Center CIP projects at Parks:•Veterans Art at Don Biddle Community Park• Butterfly Knoll Park• Clover Park• Jordan Ranch Neighborhood Park• Sean Diamond Park• Imagine Playground• Dougherty Hills Dog ParkHistoric World War II-era Camp Parks sign.8.1.bPacket Pg. 201Attachment: 2. Draft 2020 Public Art Master Plan (Public Art Master Plan Update) DRAF14City of Dublin Parks & Community Services Public Art Master Plan OpportunitiesPartnershipsPartnership projects help the City continue to grow public art and take many forms. They are developed in collaboration with nonprofit organizations, community groups, service clubs, or other public agencies. The City’s level of involvement can vary widely, from providing funding or land, to participating as a stakeholder in the artist and art selection process with another agency or assisting with community outreach when other agencies or nonprofit groups are planning art related projects in Dublin.Partnership projects may be funded in part by the City of Dublin, through the Public Art Fund, or they may be funded entirely by an outside source. Upon completion, they may be owned by the City, using a property easement, or by the landowner.Arts Grant ProgramPartnerships were identified as a way to continue to grow public art in Dublin. To help achieve this goal, Dublin should consider establishing an Arts Grant Program to provide monetary grants to local non profits for specific arts-related activities in Dublin.Establishing an annual Arts Grants could enable nonprofit arts organizations to produce activities and foster growth of the arts community in Dublin.Private DevelopmentArt in Private Development brings it into the neighborhoods and makes art accessible to the community. It continues to be an excellent way to showcase public art. Several developments have installed or are installing public artwork on private property in Dublin. A few upcoming private development projects that are expected to install art are:•Boulevard – Multiple neighborhood residential, park and school along Dublin Boulevard•Wallis Ranch – Gated residential home community of 8 individually distinctive neighborhoods•The Avalon Dublin Station - Picturesque new Avalon community in the heart of Dublin•Zeiss Innovation Center – Corporate campus along Dublin Boulevard•Bayview Development – Residential apartment complex and co-workspace near West Dublin BART stationFunding Art in DowntownTo complement the future Downtown Streetscape Master Plan and add to the area’s appeal, the City should invest in pedestrian scale art in Downtown Dublin. Examples include temporary and permanent sculptures; kiosks for displaying 2-D artwork; murals on buildings; artist designs embedded or stamped in sidewalks; artist-painted 8.1.bPacket Pg. 202Attachment: 2. Draft 2020 Public Art Master Plan (Public Art Master Plan Update) DRAFT15Opportunities City of Dublin Parks & Community Services Public Art Master Plancrosswalks; and artist-designed street furniture such as flower beds or poles for hanging flower baskets, benches, bike racks or trash cans.While Dublin has done an excellent job providing the public opportunities to enjoy large-scale, permanent outdoor public art, it could work to provide opportunities to view smaller and more temporary works as many other cities have done successfully in their communities.The estimated cost for a major iconic art piece is $250,000-$500,000. The cost for smaller pieces is $10,000-$100,000. The cost for temporary installations is typically $10,000-$40,000.Utility Boxes and Other “Public Space” MuralsThe City of Dublin has been very successful using utility boxes as blank canvas areas for public art. These low-cost, high-visibility Utility Box Art murals have been extremely well received by the public and provide additional opportunities for local artists to display their works. In addition to continuing to paint City-owned Shamrock Skies, Suzanne Gayle, 2019traffic signal boxes, the City may wish to expand Dublin Boulevard and Park Placethe program to other objects that offer a “blank canvas” for public arts such as blank walls and traffic signal poles. Additionally, the City could expand upon the program to include temporary Art displays. Camp Parks Historic SignThe iconic Camp Parks sign has historic importance to Dublin, and artistic significance as well, since the renowned architect rose to prominence after his service at Camp Parks. Though the piece belongs to and resides on U.S. Army Reserve property. Parks Reserve Forces Training Area Command staff have informed the City, over the years, that it is difficult to obtain funding and expertise to properly preserve and relocate the piece.Estimated cost range from $350,000 to $500,000 depending on the extent of the project and the partnership arrangement with the Parks Reserve Forces Training Area Command.Arts Grant ProgramMany cities, including neighboring Pleasanton and Livermore, have arts grants programs that support their nonprofit arts communities. Pleasanton awarded approximately $44,000 in Fiscal Year 2018-19, for arts in schools, public performances, a cultural festival, equipment and marketing. Awards were made to 11 organizations and ranged in size from $2,000-$6,000. Livermore awarded $28,000 in Fiscal Year 2018-19 for arts in schools, an art walk and an art show.8.1.bPacket Pg. 203Attachment: 2. Draft 2020 Public Art Master Plan (Public Art Master Plan Update) DRAF16City of Dublin Parks & Community Services Public Art Master Plan OpportunitiesAwards were made to four organizations and ranged in size from $3,000-$10,000. Livermore also awards mini grants of up to $1,000 to individuals.Establishing an Arts Grants Program of $20,000-$40,000 annually, could enable nonprofit arts organizations to produce activities and foster growth of the arts community in Dublin.Conclusion StatementThe City of Dublin Public Art Master Plan serves as a key policy document to guide the City Council, Community, and City staff with selection of artwork throughout the City.

Ideally the artist should be involved in theproject as early as possible, to work with developers, planners, architects and landscape architects to determine howbest to incorporate the art into the site.•In order to maximize the impact of site-specific commissions, Artists should be provided as much detail as possibleregarding the site’s purpose, history and natural environment and encouraged to do their own research.Art Selection CommitteesArt Selection Committees play a very important role in Dublin. As the group that provides the initial review of artist portfolios and/or design proposals, they represent the community and are largely responsible for the choice of Artists and Artworks.Art Selection Committees typically include members who have a background in art, especially public art, and others who represent stakeholder groups and interested members of the general public using the facility where the art will be located.Goals of the Art Selection Committee process are:•Further the mission and goals of the Public Art Program;•Invite participation from a wider pool of community members;•Ensure engagement with the people and businesses most likely to interact with the artwork;•Provide meaningful volunteer experiences for residents interested in art;•Ensure diversity on art selection committees.The process for choosing an Art Selection Committee is:1.City Staff evaluates the project and proposes the size and composition of the committee – each committee shallhave at least five members. At least one current member of the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission will beincluded. Depending on the project, a member of City Council or the Parks and Community Services Commissionmay serve. A Staff representative from a City Department may serve. A majority of the Committee must be Dublinresidents.2.Commissions, City Council and stakeholder groups may be requested nominate a member and alternate to theArt Selection Committee.3.City Staff recommends additional members and alternates from a roster of residents who have volunteered toserve, with an eye toward diversity of gender, age and ethnicity. Preference is given to individuals who have aprofessional background in art, architecture, landscape architecture or similar fields.4.The Committee composition and members are approved by City Council.Artist SelectionSelecting the right artist – one whose experience, artistic style and commitment to collaboration matches the needs of the project – is critical to the success of any project.The public artist’s role requires not only creativity and craftsmanship, but also outstanding communication skills. 8.1.bPacket Pg. 209Attachment: 2. Draft 2020 Public Art Master Plan (Public Art Master Plan Update) DRAFTCity of Dublin Parks & Community Services Dublin Public Art Master Plan: Program Administration4Artists will be required to submit credentials, visuals, proposals and/or project materials as directed for consideration by artist selection panels. For site-specific projects, artists are expected to conduct necessary research, including attending project orientation meetings and touring project sites, when possible.If selected, they must execute and complete concepts, designs and artwork in a timely manner. Artists are expected to work closely and cooperatively with Public Art Staff, Public Works staff, Project Managers and any design professionals and contractors whose work interfaces with the artwork. Artists are expected to make professional presentations to the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission, the City Council and any other reviewing bodies as required by the contract. They may also be expected to make public presentations, conduct community education workshops, do residencies or facilitate public participation in the project, as specified in the contract.For larger projects, Artist and Artwork Selection typically happen sequentially, with Artists being selected first and then invited to submit site-specific Artwork designs for a second round of consideration. For smaller and temporary projects – for example, Utility Box Art – Artist and Artwork Selection may happen concurrently.Goals of the artist selection process are to:•Implement the goals of the overall project through an appropriate artist selection;•Further the mission and goals of the Public Art Program;•Select an artist or artists whose existing public artworks or past collaborative efforts demonstrate a high level ofquality and integrity;•Select an artist or artists who will best respond to the distinctive characteristics of the site and the community itserves;•Select an artist or artists who can work successfully as members of an overall project design team;•Ensure that the selection process represents and considers the interests of all parties concerned, including thepublic, the arts community and the City department(s) involved;•Ensure the diversity of the artists represented in Dublin’s Collection.The process for artist selection for City Projects is:1.City Public Art Staff considers the project needs and typical methods for selecting artists and recommends amethod, in accordance with the adopted Public Art Program guidelines and policies. Any of the following methodsmay be used, depending upon the requirements of a project.a.Open Competition: An open competition is a call for artists for a specific project in which any interested artistis invited to submit credentials and/or proposals, subject to any limitations established by the Artist SelectionPanel. Calls for entries for open competitions will be sufficiently detailed to permit artists to determine whethertheir work is appropriate for the project under consideration.b.Limited or Invitational Competition: A limited number of artists shall be invited by the artist selectioncommittee to submit credentials and/or proposals for a specific project. Artists shall be invited, based on theirpast work and demonstrated ability to successfully respond to the conditions posed by the particular project(i.e., water features, light works, paintings, sound works, landscape works, design team efforts, etc.), or basedon other non-aesthetic Public Art Program goals (i.e., artists who reside in a particular neighborhood where aproject is occurring, local artists or regional artists).c.Pre-qualified Artists List: Heritage and Cultural Arts Staff will develop a pool of pre-qualified artists who canbe selected for small, community-based projects with budgets under $25,000, where a separate selection panelmay not be warranted, if recommended by the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission. A pre-qualified artistslist shall be valid for two years. If the list expires, a new list will be generated every two years or as needed toaddress projects in the queue.d.Mixed Process: A mixed process may include any combination of the above means.2.Staff prepares and distributes a Call for Artists Qualification, which includes detailed information about goals ofthe Public Art Program and any specific site(s) or project(s), and application procedures.3.Staff prepares and presents portfolios to the Art Selection Committee, which ranks artists for further consideration8.1.bPacket Pg. 210Attachment: 2. Draft 2020 Public Art Master Plan (Public Art Master Plan Update) DRAFTCity of Dublin Parks & Community Services Dublin Public Art Master Plan: Program Administration5as semi-finalists.4.The Art Selection Committee ranks artists to be invited to submit site-specific designs for artwork selection.The following criteria are used in evaluating artists:•Qualifications: Artists or artist teams must be able to demonstrate, through past work – as evidenced in aresume, portfolio and reference – their ability to create professional quality artwork and act with the utmostprofessionalism. In most cases, artists have considerable training and experience working professionally at andhave been compensated for their art. For certain projects, Dublin will consider emerging or student artists, whoare working under the guidance of a professional mentor or art teacher.•Communication: Artists’ ability to effectively communicate with a variety of groups, including other designprofessionals, public officials and community members, should be taken into consideration. This is particularlyimportant when an Artist is commissioned to create site-specific work and/or work where there will be communityinvolvement in the artistic process.•Diversity: Artists should reflect the diversity of Dublin’s community. Selection Committees should be mindfulof the opportunities to add different voices to the community through their selections. Gender diversity, ethnicdiversity, and diversity in media and artistic styles and schools are all important.Artwork SelectionChoosing new public artwork to add to Dublin’s collection is a fun and important job. Depending on the media, artwork added to the collection is likely be seen and enjoyed by Dublin residents and visitors for decades to come. Special pieces may become beloved local landmarks that come to represent Dublin in the eyes of residents and visitors.Goals of the artwork selection process are to:•Implement the goals of the overall project through an appropriate artwork selection;•Further the vision and goals of the Public Art Program;•Select artwork of the highest level of design quality;•Select artwork that contributes to the distinctive characteristics of the site and is meaningful to the community itserves;•Select artwork that can be maintained within reasonable effort and expense;•Ensure that the selection process represents and considers the interests of all parties concerned, including thepublic and the City department(s) involved;•Ensure the diversity of the artworks and voices are represented in Dublin’s Collection.Whether the artwork is being commissioned or purchased from a gallery, the process for artwork selection is:1.City Public Art Staff and artist prepare and present design proposal to an Art Selection Committee. If multipledesigns are being considered, the Art Selection Committee ranks proposals and provides comment. If a singledesign is being considered for addition to the collection, as in the case of a gift or loan that has been offered to theCity, the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission provides comment.2.The Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission, after considering any comments from the Art Selection Committeeand feedback from the public, makes comments of its own and a recommendation to the City Council. TheCommission may request more information or request the artwork be brought back after concerns have beenaddressed. For larger work, the artist typically makes a presentation. For smaller and temporary works, the artist istypically not required to make a presentation.3.City Public Art Staff prepares and presents a staff report on the proposed design and Heritage and CulturalArts Commission’s recommendation to City Council. For larger work, the artist may be invited to present andis normally requested to be present in case of questions. However, approval of artwork, especially smaller, non-controversial items, may be done via consent calendar with no formal presentation.The following are criteria for evaluating artworks:•Artist: Artwork must be created by an artist or artist team who meets the City’s criteria for artists.8.1.bPacket Pg. 211Attachment: 2.

Draft 2020 Public Art Master Plan (Public Art Master Plan Update) DRAFTCity of Dublin Parks & Community Services Dublin Public Art Master Plan: Program Administration9Required Art ExpenditureThe City of Dublin’s expenditure requirement is based on the type and size of development project. It applies to all commercial development (retail, industrial, office) in excess of 50,000 square feet and all new residential developments in excess of 20 units, including single-family (detached), single family (attached), and multi-family units.The required expenditure is one half of one percent (.5%) of the building valuation (exclusive of land). Any developer subject to the requirement may choose to spend more than the required .5%.The City of Dublin also allows any developer subject to the Public Art Ordinance to choose an in-lieu option of contributing to the Public Art Fund instead of installing artwork on site. For more information on the in-lieu option, see below.Building ValuationThe Building Valuation is determined by City’s Chief Building Official, who is responsible for determining both residential and commercial project valuations.If a developer is putting art on site, valuation for all phases of the project is estimated in conjunction with Site Development Review (SDR), before construction begins. Valuations done at this time are estimates and are typically very conservative.Valuations are recalculated when the developer pulls the first building permit for the phase. These valuations are more accurate and could be higher than valuation estimates provided at SDR.If developer opts to pay the in-lieu fee, the building permit valuation is used to determine the in-lieu fee.Art On-Site OptionFor developers opting to install art on site, the Public Art obligation must be satisfied prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy or a Public Art Agreement must be negotiated, and a bond must be posted for the value of the art obligation. This means the approved art must be installed to the City’s satisfaction and the expenditures verified by City staff.In-Lieu Fee OptionThe in-lieu fee for commercial projects over 50,000 square feet and residential projects of 20 units or more is equivalent to the required art expenditure of .5% of the building valuation.The in-lieu fee for commercial projects under 50,000 square feet is .45% of the building valuation.If an in-lieu fee option is chosen, the City will determine whether artwork is required to be sited on the developer’s property. If such a determination is made, the developer must reserve a space for possible public art to be installed by the City and paid for by the City using the in-lieu fee. If the City installs artwork at the site, the developer will be required to grant an easement for installation and maintenance. If the City does not require art on the developer’s property, the developer’s in-lieu fee is pooled in the Public Art Fund and may be used for any public art purpose and in any public location that the City chooses.Art in Private Development Procedures and CriteriaArt in Private Development is an important component in Dublin’s Public Art Program. Although the artworks are privately owned, they are installed for the public’s enjoyment.Goals of the Art in Private Development process are:•Inspire civic pride amongst residents;•Strengthen the City’s regional identity by enhancing public spaces;•Add interest and visual appeal throughout the City; and8.1.bPacket Pg. 215Attachment: 2. Draft 2020 Public Art Master Plan (Public Art Master Plan Update) DRAFTCity of Dublin Parks & Community Services Dublin Public Art Master Plan: Program Administration10•Provide – through in-lieu contributions to the Public Art Fund – funding for City public art projects and activities.The process for Art in Private Development is:1.The developer submits a completed Site Development Review (SDR) application to the Community DevelopmentDepartment, Planning Division. Planning Staff will inform the applicant of the Public Art requirement and policies.The developer is encouraged to meet with the Public Art Manager as early as possible to discuss the requirementsand procedures for artwork approval.2.Residential development applicants wishing to provide public art within their projects, are required to present aplan to the City that conforms to the requirements of the Public Art Master Plan. The Applicant’s plan shall besubmitted at the time of an application for tentative map in which individual lots are created. If a tentative mapis not required in the project, the plan for public art shall be submitted at the time of Site Development Review(SDR).3.The Building Valuation will be verified, and the minimum art allocation will be calculated by the Building Divisionupon receipt of the building permit application. The developer may be required to apply and obtain a separatebuilding permit for the construction and installation of the art project.4.Applicants choosing not to provide on-site artwork will be required to pay in-lieu fees of a minimum art allocationof .5% for commercial, industrial, office, and residential developments and .45% for commercial, industrial, andoffice developments under 50,000 square feet to the Public Art Fund, to satisfy the development standard. In lieufees must be paid prior to the issuance of a building permit.5.Upon selection of an artist and artwork, the developer will be required to meet with the Heritage & Cultural ArtsCommission for review of the artwork. Upon recommendation by the Heritage & Cultural Arts Commission, thedeveloper will be required to receive final approval by the City Council.8.1.bPacket Pg. 216Attachment: 2.

The legislative update includes a discussion of new laws that became effective on January 1, 2020, including: SB 330 (the Housing Crisis Act of 2019), AB 1486 (strengthening the Surplus Lands Act), and AB 1487 (creating the Bay Area Housing Finance Authority). The legislative update also includes an update on pending legislation, including SB 50’s status, and efforts to regulate development impact fees. The legislative update will be followed by a description of various opportunities that Staff is pursuing to facilitate the development of affordable housing, including an opportunity to join a joint powers authority that acquires apartment complexes and converts them to affordable rental housing. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Receive the report and provide appropriate direction. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. DESCRIPTION: This report has two parts. The first is a discussion of important new laws and pending legislation related to housing. It is followed by a discussion of opportunities that Staff is pursuing to facilitate the development of affordable housing. Housing Legislation Update 2019 Housing Legislation. One of the key issues in the 2019 legislative session was housing. The year started off with a flurry of bills designed to address the housing crisis. SB 50 garnered a lot of attention, including from the national media. Ultimately, 8.2 Packet Pg. 217 Page 2 of 6 SB 50 failed to make it out of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, and it became a two-year bill (see below). Nonetheless, several important bills were enacted into law and became effective on January 1, 2020; they are summarized below. SB 330, Housing Crisis Act of 2019. The Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (SB 330) declares a statewide housing emergency and suspends certain existing restrictions on housing development projects and expedites the permitting of housing in affected cities and counties. Dublin is among the affected cities to which the Act applies. The law is an attempt by the Legislature to address California’s housing crisis and to facilitate the construction of additional housing units. Below is an explanation of key requirements in SB 330, which in general will remain in effect until January 1, 2025. SB 330 prohibits an “affected” city or county from enacting new, or enforcing existing, policies on land where housing is an allowable use that does any of the following: • Change the land use designation or zoning to a “less intensive use” than what was allowed on January 1, 2018. A “less intensive use” is anything that would limit the intensity of housing allowed, including a reduction in height or density, or increased setback requirements or maximum lot coverage requirements. • Impose a moratorium on housing development, with very limited exceptions. • Enforce design standards established on or after January 1, 2020, that are not objective. • Limit the number of permits for housing that can be issued, such as so -called “growth-control” ordinances. This type of limitation will remain permissible if the limit was first approved by voters prior to January 1, 2005, and the affected county or affected city is located within a county for which at least 50 percent, and a minimum of 550,000 acres, of the county area is agricultural land. The Housing Crisis Act of 2019 also makes a significant change to the Housing Accountability Act (HAA). The HAA currently prohibits an agency from disapproving a housing project or approving the project at a lower density if the project complies with the applicable, objective standards and criteria in place when the project application is determined to be complete, unless certain specific findings can be made. SB 330 amended the HAA to allow developers to lock in the standards and criteria that were in effect at the time of submittal of a simplified “preliminary application.” Finally, in order to streamline the processing of proposed housing development projects, SB 330 prohibits a jurisdiction from holding more than five hearings on a proposed project if the project complies with the applicable, objective standards and criteria in place at the time it is “deemed complete.” Public hearings, workshops or similar meetings held by the planning commission or governing body all count toward the five hearing maximum. AB 1486, Surplus Lands Act Amendments. The Surplus Lands Act requires local agencies to offer surplus lands to agencies for open space, recreation, and affordable 8.2 Packet Pg. 218 Page 3 of 6 housing. AB 1486 strengthens the Act for the purpose of making public land potentially available for affordable housing development. Among other things it: • Expands the agencies subject to the Act. • Broadens the application of the Act to include nearly all “disposals” of real property. • Adds new oversight provisions. The provisions require local agencies to submit reports demonstrating compliance with the Act to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). If HCD determines that an agency has failed to comply, the Attorney General or third parties may bring lawsuits seeking a penalty of up to 30 percent of the final sales price for the first violation. While AB 1486’s changes are significant, the Surplus Lands Act still does not require an agency to sell property for affordable housing. It merely gives those receiving notices of availability an opportunity to negotiate in good faith with the seller. Ultimately, a local agency can elect to sell the property at its fair market value, even in the face of an affordable housing provider offering to purchase the property for less than its fair market value. AB 1487, Bay Area Housing Finance Authority. AB 1487 implements a suggestion of the CASA Compact. The CASA Compact was the work-product of the Committee to House the Bay Area, which was convened by the Metropolitan Transit Commission (MTC) and the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG). AB 1487 creates the Bay Area Housing Finance Authority within the nine -county San Francisco Bay Area to be jointly governed by MTC and ABAG’s Executive Board. With voter approval, the Authority may levy parcel taxes, business license taxes, and special business taxes based on number of employees. A ballot measure authorizing one of the levies can be placed on the ballot of as few as four of the Bay Area counties. The Authority can also levy commercial linkage fees on new commercial development projects “for the purpose of addressing the need for additional housing development necessitated by” commercial development. However, it can only do so if the voters first approve a parcel tax or a general obligation bond. Authority revenue must be used for construction of new affordable housing, affordable housing preservation, tenant protection programs, plann ing and technical assistance, and infrastructure to support housing. Other 2019 legislation of interest. The Legislature passed a number of other housing bills of lesser importance to the City. Among these are: • AB 881 incorporating a number of amendments to the section addressing accessory dwelling units. It requires ministerial approval of detached ADUs that are less than 800 square feet, no taller than 16 feet, and having at least four -foot 8.2 Packet Pg. 219 Page 4 of 6 rear and side yard setbacks. It also prohibits the application of lot coverage requirements, lot size restrictions, and owner-occupancy requirements on ADUs. • AB 1483 requires the posting of “housing development related” information on city and county websites. The information includes things such as a schedu le of fees, an archive of impact fee studies, zoning ordinances that apply to each parcel, and information required of applicants for land use projects. • AB 1482 adds significant tenant projections. The protection includes a cap on rent increases to existing tenants at the consumer price index plus five percent, not to exceed 10 percent, in any 12 -month period. AB 1482 also adopted a statewide just cause eviction requirement (prohibiting landlords from evicting tenants for no reason). 2020 Housing Legislation. 2020 is shaping up to be another year in which housing remains high on the list of agenda items for the Legislature. As noted above, SB 50, which would override City land use regulations near transit stops and in “jobs rich” areas, faces a January 31 deadline to pass out of the Senate. The bill’s author, Senator Weiner, has made changes in an effort to eliminate opposition, including adding a provision that delays implementation for two years and providing a mechanism for local agencies to satisfy the requirements with an alternative land use plan that offers the same level housing development potential as SB 50 would. As of the date of this report, the bill is poised to receive a Senate floor vote before the January 31 deadline. Development impact fees are expected to be a focus of legislative attention. Toward the end of last year’s legislative session, HCD delivered a report requested by the Legislature that addressed the effect that development impact fees have on housing development in California. The report led Assembly Member Grayson to amend AB 1484 in a manner that would impose significant new requirements on development impact fees. It did not move in the last session, but Staff understands that either AB 1484 or another bill is likely to address some of the issues raised by the HCD report. Such legislation could have a significant impact on the City’s development fee programs—the Eastern Dublin Traffic Impact Fee, the Downtown Traffic Impact Fee, and the Public Facilities Fee being the most prominent—and, therefore, Staff is monitoring developments closely. It is also notable that ABAG has begun the 2022 -2030 Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) process. Staff will provide a report to the City Council on the status of the RHNA process and Housing Element Update at its February 18, 2020 meeting. Affordable Housing Opportunities Consistent with prior direction from the City Council, Staff is pursuing various opportunities for affordable housing. 8.2 Packet Pg. 220 Page 5 of 6 CalCHA Middle-Income Rental Program. Staff has been presented with an option for the City Council’s consideration that provides affordable housing targeted at moderate and middle-income households earning between 81-120 percent of the area median income (AMI). There is currently limited Federal, State or local subsidies or programs to produce or preserve below market rate rental housing for moderate and middle -income households. The program is managed by a joint powers authority called the California Community Housing Agency (CalCHA). CalCHA was formed by Kings County and the Housing Authority of Kings County. Additional cities, counties and other local government entities may join CalCHA if they wish to participate in CalCHA’s programs. Under the program, CalCHA issues revenue bonds to acquire either new or existing apartment complexes. It then coverts the projects into income - and rent-restrict units for moderate- and middle-income households. CalCHA has used the program to acquire rental projects in Santa Rosa and in Fairfield. The revenue bonds are issued as limited obligations of CalCHA and not of the participating members and are payable solely out of the revenues and receipts derived from the project being financed. In addition, CalCHA grants the participating jurisdictions an option to purchase the property at an amount equal to the remaining debt. To participate in this new program, the City would need to become a member of the CalCHA. The City’s membership would be limited solely for the financing or refinancing of specific projects but would not create any liability for the City. If the City Council is interested in considering the CalCHA program further, Staff can return at a future meeting for the City Council to consider joining CalCHA. Staff would analyze the program in more detail at that time. Staff understands that it can be advantageous to join CalCHA before an acquisition is being pursued because it allows CalCHA to commit to sellers that it can close a transaction quickly. City Efforts to Facilitate Development of Affordable Housing. The City has funding available for affordable housing projects. The City is eligible to receive nearly $8,000,000 in revenue from the County of Alameda Measure A -1 Affordable Housing Bond. In addition, the City has approximately $13,276,800 available in its affordable housing fund, derived from in-lieu fee revenue under the Inclusionary Zoning Regulations and revenue from the commercial linkage fee. Staff is in the midst of identifying projects on which to deploy those resources. Identifying available, suitable land is the first step, and Staff is attempting to find sites that will allow it to further leverage the City’s affordable housing monies. It is expected that the City will partner with a non-profit affordable housing developer to pursue any project. Three sites are under active consideration for potential affordable housing projects. The first is an approximately 1.33-acre parcel at the end of Regional Street in Downtown that is near the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART station. The developer of the adjacent mixed-use St. Patrick Way project is required to dedicate that site to the City pursuant 8.2 Packet Pg. 221 Page 6 of 6 the approved Community Benefit Agreement. The second site is an Alameda County Surplus Property Authority-owned site in the Transit Center adjacent to the Dublin/Pleasanton BART station. The County is developing a second BART garage on a portion of the property, and the remainder is suitable for affordable housing. The third opportunity is associated with Avesta’s proposed independent senior housing and assisted living project at 5751 Arnold Road. In accordance with the City Council’s direction when it initiated a General Plan Amendment study for that project, Staff is in the midst of discussions with the Developer to identify a potential site for affordable housing on that property. Finally, Staff also anticipates issuing a notice of funding availability seeking proposals from affordable housing developers. Proposers may be able to identify other sites within the City that would be suitable for affordable housing projects. STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE: Strategy 3: Pursue efforts to help strengthen the City’s infrastructure and technology. Strategic Objective 3d: Develop a special needs affordable housing project.

Soto, City Clerk/Records Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council will discuss options regarding adjustments to Councilmember salaries. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Discuss and provide direction to Staff regarding adjustments to City Council salaries. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Should the City Council adopt an increase at the maximum allowed by law, the financial impact of a partial year increase (December 2020 - June 2021), including salary-based taxes and contributions, would be an increase of $4,962. The full year (12 months) additional cost would be $8,507. DESCRIPTION: Government Code Section 36516(a) allows a general law city to provide a salary to City Councilmembers. An increase in compensation is allowed by ordinance, and “may not exceed an amount equal to 5% for each calendar year from the operative date of the last adjustment of the salary in effect when the ordinance or amendment is enacted” (Government Code Section 36516(4). The Dublin City Council last adjusted salaries for the City Council in December 2016 (Attachment 1), which became effective after the November 2018 election. City Councilmembers’ salary is currently set at $1,211.33 per month. Dublin Municipal Code section 2.08.040 (Attachment 2) provides an additional $100 per month to the Mayor over the salary he/she receives as a Councilmember. The Mayor’s current salary is $1,311.33 per month. The allowable increase for calendar years 2018 through 2020 was calculated as follows: 8.3 Packet Pg. 223 Page 2 of 2 Current compensation (established 2018): $1,211.33 5% increase, 2018 to 2019: 1,271.89 5% increase, 2019 to 2020: 1,335.49 If the maximum increase is adopted, the financial impact for a partial year increase (December 2020 - June 2021) including salary-based taxes and contributions would be $4,962. The full year (12 months) additional cost would be $8,507. If the City Council wishes to take such action, the City Council can direct Staff to prepare an ordinance for consideration. In accordance with Dublin Municipal Code Section 2.08.020B and State Law, the increase would not become effect ive until newly elected Councilmembers are sworn into office following certification of the November 2020 election. The City Council could also consider: Increasing the salaries by an amount less than the maximum permitted by law Not increasing the current salary (take no action) Reducing current salaries Eliminating salaries altogether NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: None.
