CityCouncil,2005-06-21,4,"The Acting Planning Director stated that he had no knowledge of
the issue; the Planning and Building Department was asked to
test the soil to see if the soil was safe for the trees.
Mayor Johnson inquired whether Title 22 related to safety for
trees.
Mr. Bowen responded that he was advised that Title 22 addressed
toxicity of materials in the soil; he was asked to find out if
the trees would be harmed by anything in the soil; the soil from
the fill was tested as well as the soil around the trees.
Councilmember deHaan inquired whether soil would be removed from
the site during construction, to which the Acting Planning
Director responded in the affirmative.
Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the pile of dumped soil
would be removed, to which the Acting Planning Director
responded that most of the pile would be redistributed, if not
removed from the site.
Councilmember deHaan stated that the soil should be analyzed for
the health of the trees and to see if there was dumping of
hazardous soil; there is a concern with mixing the soil.
The Planner III stated that Title 22 specifically addresses
environmental hazards and hazardous waste materials for the
general environment.
Councilmember Matarrese stated that a licensed arborist is
looking at the health and protection of the trees; the Historic
Advisory Board has a solution to mitigate the removal of trees;
a composite soil sample has been collected that is appropriate
for the future health of the trees; the laboratory' S
certification to determine whether the soil dumped was toxic is
questionable; the owner should be responsible for taking the
soil away if the levels exceed the same standards that are
applied at Alameda Point for building residential units.
Vice Mayor Gilmore noted that the Planner III stated that Title
22 covers hazardous waste in situations beyond agriculture; the
report states that the mineral content of the soil does not
exceed Title 22 limits.

notification.
Ms. Schlegel responded that she has returned unopened statements
and left messages but has not been called back.

late notice is sent 45 days after a bill has not been paid;
there have been eight notifications over two years based upon
information provided by Alameda County Industries (ACI)
Following speaker Leo Beaulieu, the Public Works Director stated
the integrated waste management rate pays for all services

The Acting City Manager requested that the two written
communications presented to Council tonight be included with the
speakers' requests for staff review.
Councilmember deHaan stated better communication regarding the
new contract requirements is needed; inquired whether collection
through property taxes has been done before.
The Public Works Director responded that collection of payment
through property taxes has not been done in the seven years he
has been with the City.
Councilmember deHaan inquired whether it is the City's
responsibility to determine how outstanding bills are resolved.
The Public Works Director responded in the affirmative; stated
that delinquent accounts would be included in the next rate
review in a year and a half; any garbage fees that are not
collected is passed on to the rate payers; rates would be
increased because the City is required to compensate ACI for the
service.
Mayor Johnson stated that the problem is that everyone who pays
their bill subsidizes those who do not.
The Public Works Director stated that 23 residents on the list
included in the staff report have paid.
The Acting City Manager suggested that the Council adopt the
Resolution with direction for staff to resolve issues of concern
raised by residents tonight and provide a status on said claims

voice vote - 5.
(05-310) Recommendation to authorize the Acting City Manager to
execute extension of the Harbor Bay Maritime Ferry Operating
Agreements for Alameda Harbor Bay Ferry Service (AHBFS) and
adopt associated budget.
The Acting City Manager stated that the Agreement is an
extension of an existing Agreement with Harbor Bay Maritime
(HBM) to operate the AHBFS between Bay Farm Island and San
Francisco; the Agreement is complicated because a good deal of
the funding comes through Regional Measure 1 Funds, which are
administered by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission
(MTC) ; HBM must achieve 40% revenue through fare box collections
in order to receive the funding through the City; the fare box
collection has dropped in the past few years; collection was 23%
last year, 31% the year before, and 32% the preceding year MTC
has notified the City that funding will no longer continue if
the 40% revenue through fare box is not achieved; MTC has
allowed the City an additional year; stated that the ferry was
down for four months last year and the cost of fuel has
practically doubled during the last two years.
Councilmember deHaan inquired whether on board labor costs was a
concern.
The Acting City Manager stated that the City is not a party to
negotiations between the Operator and the Union; the Union
contacted the City regarding concern with a reduction in the
work shift from eight hours to seven hours. eight-hour - work
shifts will be maintained per negotiations.
The Ferry Services Manager stated that HBM and the Union have
reached a contract agreement for the next year beginning July 1.

CityCouncil,2005-06-21,9,"Mayor Johnson inquired where the fuel was bought, to which the
Ferry Services Manager responded that the fuel for the
Alameda/Oakland Ferry is purchased through Blue and Gold Fleet,
bought in bulk volume, and stored at Pier 39; AHBFS has a
contract with a fuel provider and is fueled at Pier 48.
Mayor Johnson inquired whether the fuel rates were comparable,
to which the Ferry Services Manager responded there is
a
difference between 18 and 20 cents per gallon.
Mayor Johnson inquired whether HBM could fuel at Pier 39, to
which the Ferry Services Manager responded that there have been
discussions with Blue and Gold Fleet regarding fueling at Pier
39; insurance requirements make the possibility difficult and
costs would offset any benefit; there have been discussions with
the WTA regarding bulk purchases.
Councilmember Daysog inquired whether gas could be purchased
ahead of time and locked in at lower prices, to which the Ferry
Services Manager responded that HBM does not purchase ahead of
time but that Blue and Gold Fleet does.
Councilmember Daysog inquired whether purchasing gas ahead of
time would be a possibility for HBM, to which the Ferry Services
Manager responded there is a question of fuel storage
capability; relocating to Alameda Point is being reviewed.
Michael Torrey, Alameda, encouraged the Council to accept the
staff recommendation.
Scott Hennigh, Alameda, urged acceptance of the staff
recommendation; stated eliminating the 7:30 p.m. run is short
sighted and will decrease ridership; suggested capital reserve
funds be used to cover the cost of the 7:30 p.m. run and that
the Council consider a temporary reallocation of the Measure B
Funds toward advertising costs.
Mayor Johnson inquired whether there was any way to avoid
eliminating the 7:30 p.m. run.
The Acting City Manager responded there would be approximately
11 to 15 riders lost with the elimination of the 7:30 p.m. run;
increased ridership through marketing efforts should result in
breaking even; reducing what is set aside for capital reserves

Councilmember Daysog stated that more information is needed on
the advertising strategy to properly evaluate the different
scenarios.
Councilmember Matarrese stated that he is concerned with cutting
the 7:30 p.m. run; riders are lost and not recovered when
services are down.
Mayor Johnson inquired when the advertising would start, to
which the Acting City Manager responded that some direct mail
advertising has already started.
The Ferry Services Manager stated a survey was conducted in May
inquiring whether commute patterns would remain the same if a 50
cent each way fare increase was implemented and the 7:30 p.m.
run was eliminated; 22-23% riders indicated there would be a
significant reduction in ferry usage; 50 to 60 riders per day
would be needed to make up the loss in a worst case scenario;
the survey indicates that the market potential exists in the
primary market, which is the Harbor Bay and the Fernside
Districts; tests on the secondary market, covering San Leandro
and Oakland, are being conducted.
The Acting City Manager stated retaining the 7:30 p.m. run is
important a three month trial would show whether increased
ridership would make up for the $2,500 loss per month.
Lorre Zuppan stated that she has not done an analysis of the
7:30 p.m. run; tracking the success of prior campaigns is
difficult; if ridership is not increased, keeping the 7:30 p.m.
run presents a risk.

CityCouncil,2005-06-21,11,"Councilmember Matarrese inquired whether having the 7:30 p.m.
run would be better for marketing.
Ms. Zuppan responded that added features attract users.
Councilmember Matarrese stated that time is needed to allow the
marketing to work and be assessed.
Vice Mayor Gilmore stated there would be more people on the 7:30
p.m. run now if the run was a desired feature; missing the
target would require putting in a lot of money or not meeting
the 40% fare box requirement and losing the entire ferry
operation.
Councilmember Daysog inquired what the break even number of
riders would be for the 7:30 p.m. run, to which Ms. Zuppan
responded 22 riders.
Mayor Johnson inquired whether the Executive Director of the WTA
had any thoughts on the matter.
Steve Castleburry, WTA Chief Executive Officer, stated there is
uncertainty in marketing; information obtained in surveys is
highly unreliable.
Mayor Johnson inquired whether there is any information on the
impacts of cuts elsewhere.
Mr. Castleburry responded that the City of Larkspur did not lose
as many riders as anticipated; stated ferry ridership is up
compared to other services.
The Acting City Manager stated that part of the increased ferry
ridership is because the economy is starting to get a little
better having the trial period in the summer might not be good
because people are on vacation.
Mayor Johnson inquired about lost ridership last summer.
The Acting City Manager stated that last summer would not be a
good comparison because the ferry was down for four months.
The Public Works Director corrected the break even number of
riders for the 7:30 p.m. run to 36.

major change.
Steve Brimhall, President HBM, stated the capital reserve funds
do not apply against the fare box; HBM is not in a funding
position.
The Ferry Services Manager stated that the City has an
obligation to maintain ferryboats or pay back the grants used to
acquire the boats.
The Public Works Director suggested the recommendation might be
to accept the three-month trial subject to MTC's approval and
reaching an agreement with HBM.
Mayor Johnson suggested conveying to MTC that the City does not
want to lose more riders by cutting service and wants to do
everything possible to maintain the level of service and
increase the number of riders above the current level.
Councilmember Daysog inquired whether there is any indication
that the June fare box recovery is trending upwards, to which
the Public Works Direction responded that he did not know.
Councilmember Daysog inquired how eliminating the 7:30 p.m. run
would impact ratios, to which the Acting City Manager responded
by 1%.
Councilmember Matarrese stated that he is in favor of presenting
the proposal to MTC ; eliminated services are never recovered.
Councilmember Daysog concurred with Councilmember Matarrese.
Councilmember Matarrese stated a month-and-a-half trial period
would be fine if a three-month trial period were too long.
Councilmember Matarrese moved approval of the staff
recommendation with the exception of eliminating the 7:30 p.m.
run contingent upon MTC allowing the City to preserve the 7:30
p.m. run for an approximate three-month trial period and
agreement with HBM.
