October 2, 2007",CityCouncil/2007-10-02.pdf
CityCouncil,2007-10-02,5,"Vice Mayor Tam stated that the development of the management plan
for emergency response is very important she would like to
underscore that priority should be given to an Island such as
Alameda with regard to emergency accessi Alameda should not be left
stranded by having its boats used elsewhere in the event of a big
emergency.
Councilmember deHaan stated that dialogue was initiated with the
Water Transit Authority (WTA) at one time; concerns involved
whether the WTA had the wherewithal to move forward and take over a
system; the City did not want to Alameda's system to deteriorate in
any way; inquired whether the legislation could be signed as early
as October 14.
The Public Works Director responded that the legislation was sent
to the Governor on September 20; the Governor has thirty days to
act on the legislation by either signing or vetoing the bill; the
bill would be enacted if no action is taken.
Councilmember deHaan requested information on the difference
between Alameda's and Vallejo's concerns.
The Public Works Director stated Alameda is trying to ascertain the
value of its assets; approximately $1.1 million could have gone
into other types of services but said amount does not include the
$1 million that was funded through an assessment district for the
Harbor Bay Ferry; Vallejo's assets are approximately $112 million;
Vallejo is a true transit agency that combines buses with the
ferries Harbor Bay's farebox recovery ratio is 46% and the
Alameda/Oakland Ferry Service is over 50%; Vallejo's farebox
recovery is 65%.
Councilmember deHaan inquired whether Vallejo is non-supportive of
the legislation.
The Ferry Services Manager responded in the affirmative; stated
Vallejo issued a letter requesting ferry riders to lobby the
Governor.
Mayor Johnson stated that she does not know whether Vallejo has
simply a lot of unanswered questions or is in complete opposition
to an integrated Bay water transit system.
The Public Works Director stated that a lot of unanswered questions
should be addressed in the cleanup legislation.
Mayor Johnson stated that Vallejo is unclear about what will happen

CityCouncil,2007-10-02,6,"to a multi-million dollar grant to build a parking structure for
ferry riders.
Councilmember deHaan stated Vallejo formed an Advisory Ridership
Committee; inquired what methods would be used for outreach to the
Alameda ridership.
The Public Works Director responded today's newspaper article
provided information to residents; stated a notice was sent to
ferry riders late today informing the riders of tonight's meeting.
Councilmember deHaan stated that a community workshop would be
worthwhile.
Vice Mayor Tam inquired whether the reasoning for the urgency of
the Bill is known, to which the Public Works Director responded
that he did not know.
Bill Smith, Alameda, discussed flying vehicles.
Scott Henning, Alameda, stated that Council's vote will have the
appearance of agreeing with approving the Bill; residents need to
have a voice in how assets are managed the Bill is proposing to
give Alameda's assets to a regional authority where the City's
voice is one of many regional cities; the big concern is that the
Bill would transfer ownership Vallejo is in extreme opposition to
the Bill and is questioning its enforceability; ferry riders have
been invited to attend Public Hearings in the past; Council should
consider not adopting the report until Public Hearings are held,
the City Attorney provides an opinion on whether or not the Bill is
enforceable, and an Advisory Ridership Committee is established.
Mayor Johnson inquired whether the Short Range Transit Plan is
required to be adopted, to which the Public Works Director
responded in the affirmative.
Councilmember Matarrese stated that Council voting on the Short
Range Transit Plan would not be supporting the Water Emergency
Transportation Authority (WETA) Legislation the questions are the
same as when the WTA made a presentation.
Councilmember Matarrese moved approval of adopting the Short Range
Transit Plan.
Councilmember Matarrese stated that good suggestions have been made
regarding public meetings; the cleanup legislation is an unknown.
Mayor Johnson stated that language could be added stating that the

CityCouncil,2007-10-02,7,"City of Alameda has not taken a position on the legislation.
Councilmember Matarrese clarified that the motion adopts the Short
Range Transit Plan; stated adopting the Short Range Transit Plan
fulfills the City's responsibilities to Regional Measure 1; another
motion could be made regarding Council hearing the [WETA] report.
Mayor Johnson inquired whether a separate motion could be made, to
which the City Attorney responded in the affirmative.
Councilmember Matarrese moved approval of adopting the Short Range
Transit Plan.
Councilmember deHaan seconded the motion, which carried by
unanimous voice vote - 5.
Councilmember Matarrese stated suggestions have been made to hold
public hearings with the point of establishing a Rider Advisory
Group to ensure public input and to request the City Attorney's S
opinion regarding the enforcement of the transfer.
The City Attorney stated that a transfer cannot take place without
fair market value compensation for any assets that would be
transferred.
Councilmember Gilmore stated that the City Attorney's comments
presupposes that the legislation is enforceable but that the WETA
would need to pay the City; Vallejo's Mayor is questioning whether
the legislation is enforceable.
The City Attorney stated the legislation purports and attempts to
pre-empt Charter cities; said issue could be challenged.
Bruce M. McBride, Alameda, stated that Vallejo has a tremendous
ferry organization and has a dedicated ridership; most of the
riders come from Antioch; Alameda is in a different situation than
Larkspur or Vallejo; Vallejo does not pass under major airliner
routes nor is juxtaposed to any international airports; the Alameda
route has ninety percent of its transit immediately adjacent to
major container ships; all ferry boats on the Bay have repair
services performed at one facility in Alameda.
Mayor Johnson stated that Council is not taking a position on the
legislation. the issue is on going.
Councilmember deHaan stated Mr. McBride brought up some good, solid
points.

CityCouncil,2007-10-02,8,"Councilmember Matarrese stated Council heard the update; the public
needs to understand what is happening; workshops are a good way to
update the public and provide timelines.
Councilmember Matarrese moved approval of adopting the City of
Alameda Ferry Short Range Transit Plan with the stipulation that
workshops be conducted to inform the public on the legislation.
Councilmember deHaan seconded the motion with the caveat that the
emergency portion needs to be flushed out; the emergency portion
was the driving force; noted new routes are being initiated.
The Public Works Director stated that the WTA is currently pursuing
an Oakland to South San Francisco route.
Vice Mayor Tam stated that she is concerned with the legislation
being rushed; public workshops are being rushed; inquired whether
the workshop's point would be to synthesize the public's comments
in order to take a position or request the City's support of the
Bill in order to respond to the Legislature.
Mayor Johnson stated the purpose of the workshop would be to inform
the public.
The Public Works Director stated the workshop would educate the
public on the Bill; a WTA representative could be at the meeting to
answer questions; a Blue Ribbon Task Force was created to look at
the needs for emergency response from a ferry perspective and could
be the reason for the urgency of the bill.
Councilmember deHaan stated that [Blue Ribbon Task Force ] came from
the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.
Mayor Johnson stated AC Transit expressed interest in operating the
ferries at one point.
Councilmember deHaan inquired when the WTA was formed, to which the
Deputy City Manager responded 1999.
Vice Mayor Tam stated that she is very supportive of regional
cooperation and opportunities to leverage assets with other
regional agencies; the question is one of process; inquired whether
the City was consulted about the legislation during discussions on
the formation of an emergency transit authority.
The Public Works Director responded that changes were made to the
legislation a couple of days before passage.

CityCouncil,2007-10-02,9,"Mayor Johnson stated the City and WTA were following the
legislation very closely; a lot of late changes were made.
Councilmember Matarrese stated that he attended a meeting that
presented some dramatic scenarios on what would happen when the big
one hits the Bay Area; he is surprised that the legislation
happened so quicklyi WTA came to the City a year agoi serious
momentum is behind the legislation; the City needs to ensure that
1) current service is not lost, 2) Alameda receives the benefit of
having the boats, 3) the Mayor is on the [WETA] Board, and 4) the
City is reimbursed for any money that the City could have invested
in infrastructure other than the ferry.
Vice Mayor Tam stated that there is a presumption that SB976 is a
foregone conclusion; the Bill requires workshops be scheduled to
inform and educate the community regarding the transition plan; she
is unclear on whether there are any opportunities to include
amendments before the Governor signs the Bill.
The City Manager stated that the City has the opportunity to be
involved with cleanup legislation.
Vice Mayor Tam inquired whether there are any commitments from the
Senators or Legislature to sponsor the cleanup legislation.
Mayor Johnson responded that the legislation has so many loose ends
and cannot move forward without cleanup legislation; inquired
whether discussions will begin in January.
The Deputy City Manager responded the Legislature will reconvene in
December to conduct housekeeping business; stated the real work
will start in January; Senator Perata's staff discussed the need
for cleanup legislation; there is not an opportunity to make
changes to SB976; amendment opportunities will come up in the next
Legislative session.
Councilmember Gilmore stated the Governor either has to sign, not
sign, or veto the bill; inquired whether there is any sense of
which way the Governor is leaning.
The Deputy City Manager responded in the negative; stated a lot of
Republicans voted no on the Bill; the Department of Finance will
recommend a no vote since there were a lot of Republican no votes;
the Governor does not always take the Department of Finance's
recommendation; the Governor may be willing to sign the Bill in
order to move other priorities forward; she continues to check on
the status, but no action has been taken yet.

Commission for taking Council's comments to heart at the Joint
Meeting in May.

changes make the process clearer.
