(12-017 CC) Resolution No. 14634, ""(1) Determining It Will Serve as a Successor
Agency to the Community Improvement Commission of the City of Alameda (""CIC""); (2)
Electing Not to Retain the Housing Assets and Functions Previously Performed by the
CIC; (3) Authorizing Assumption by the Housing Authority of the City of Alameda
(""Housing Authority"") of the Rights, Powers, Assets, Liabilities, Duties, and Obligations
Associated with the Housing Activities of the CIC; and (4) Authorizing the City Manager

Executive Director to Enter Into an Agreement with the City of Alameda to Fund Costs
Associated with the Transferred Housing Activities."" Adopted.
The Housing Development and Programs Manager gave a brief presentation.
Mayor/Chair Gilmore stated redevelopment agencies would cease to exist on February
1st, but agreements for 400 redevelopment agencies would not suddenly come into
existence on February 2nd
The Housing Development and Programs Manager stated agreements would exist
because of each agency's enforceable obligation schedule.
In response to Mayor/Chair Gilmore's inquiry, the Housing Development and Programs
Manager stated the County Auditor-Controller would need to audit each agency's
enforceable obligation schedule by July 1st.
Councilmember/Commissioner Tam inquired whether a trust fund would be

Programs Manager responded in the affirmative.
Mayor/Chair Gilmore stated on February 1st, responsible agencies would start
expending funds in the normal course of business; hopefully, reimbursement would be
set in place on July 1st.
The Housing Development and Programs Manager stated an administrative budget
needs to be presented for each successor agency by February; the legislation has
some inconsistencies; last year, an obligation schedule was done which predicted
payment obligations pursuant to enforceable obligations; the next one would be due
March 1st, which would cover January 1st to June 30th; schedules would need to be
approved by the Oversight Board that would review work of the successor agency; the
Oversight Board would not come into existence until May 1st; suggested amending
Section 7 to read: ""This resolution shall take effect and be enforced as of the deadline
for adoption of this resolution established pursuant to State law as may be amended
from time to time"".
Councilmember/Commissioner Tam's inquired whether the City could recover money, to
which the City Manager/Executive Director responded the money has not been
submitted yet.
Mayor/Chair Gilmore stated the State was not hitting budget targets before the ruling; it
appeared that automatic cuts would go into effect; the State will not receive $1.7 billion
due to legislation being declared unconstitutional.
The City Manager/Executive Director stated that the State has centralized what the
payments would be but has created chaos throughout the system.
Vice Mayor/Commissioner Bonta stated things are moving very quickly; that he wants to
ensure that the City does not do something it will regret later; inquired what precautions
would be taken if another legislative remedy caused the City's successor agency role to
not be advantageous, to which the City Manager/Executive Director responded the
resolutions could always be amended.
In response to Vice Mayor/Commissioner Bonta's inquiry, Rafael Mandelman, Burke,
Williams, and Sorensen, stated January 13th is the drop-dead date for cities to opt out of
becoming a successor agency.
Councilmember/Commissioner Johnson stated a significant amount of affordable
housing has been created by redevelopment agencies; inquired whether affordable
housing would also cease.
The Housing Development and Programs Manager responded hopefully, housing
advocates would do something about having a permanent income stream fund for

Councilmember/Commissioner Johnson stated the City receives allocations from the
Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG); without said money, houses cannot be
built regardless of the allocations.
The City Manager/Executive Director stated redevelopment has been the primary
economic development program in California; without economic development, there is
no money for schools or work force housing; that he predicts the State would replace
some functions but would do so in a centralized, clunky way rather than in a flexible,
nimble, and local manner.
Councilmember/Commissioner deHaan inquired how other municipalities are handling
the issue, to which the Housing Development and Programs Manager responded
Alameda would be the first to act on the matter.
The City Manager/Executive Director stated that redevelopment pays for police officers,
half of the Mayor, Council, and Auditor's salary, which otherwise would need to come
from the General Fund; everything would have to made up from the General Fund; the
City has never honeycombed redevelopment.
Mr. Mandelman stated the landscape is rapidly changing and the law is drafted poorly;
there will be many messy situations over the next months; the City would be taking on
responsibility to manage some of the chaos by becoming the successor agency;
management would be done by an unfriendly Oversight Board.
Vice Mayor/Commissioner Bonta inquired whether another path or second best
approach might be adequate but would not be as good as the one recommended
tonight.
Mr. Mandelman responded tonight's recommendation is the only way to go if the City
wants to be a successor agency; stated otherwise, the Governor would appoint County
residents.
Mayor/Chair Gilmore stated Council has tried for a number of years to get Alameda
Point from the Navy so that the City could have local control and have a say in how
things move forward.
The Housing Development and Programs Manager stated the City would want local
control over the Alameda Landing Disposition and Development Agreement; exercising
local control over the project would be important.
Councilmember/Commissioner Tam stated the City would have local control but would
lose its ability to generate local revenue through redevelopment; the City would be more
dependant upon private developer funding for infrastructure and meeting affordable

marketable and needs to fight fiercely.
The Acting City Attorney/Legal Council stated a lot of new ideas would be forthcoming.
Mr. Mandelman stated the California Redevelopment Association and League of
California Cities are actively focusing on State goals but would include goals important
to Alameda such as Base reuse and housing.
In favor of resolutions: Robb Ratto, Park Street Business Association, and Jon
Spangler, Alameda.
Mayor/Chair Gilmore expressed appreciation to staff for acting so quickly on the matter;
stated the recommendation is viable.
Vice Mayor/Commissioner Bonta inquired whether tonight's recommendation would be
the only way to exercise local control, to which Mr. Mandelman responded that he thinks
so.
In response to Councilmember/Commissioner deHaan's inquiry, Mr. Mandelman stated
the deadline for dissolution is February 1st; up to that time, the legislature would have an
opportunity to come up with something that would work for communities that have
bases that need to be redeveloped; the deadline for deciding whether to be a successor
agency is January 13th
The Chief Operating Officer stated that she has a conference call scheduled for 8:30
a.m. tomorrow with base reuse communities.
Councilmember/Commissioner Johnson moved adoption of the resolutions with noted
amendment to Section 7.
Councilmember/Commissioner Tam seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous
voice vote - 6.

the Town of Danville. From there she went to Antioch, then Hayward, and most recently was with the

the transfer of the City's Animal Shelter to the non-profit group FAAS (Friends of the Alameda Animal
Shelter). There were 5 full-time employees affected; 2 were able to keep jobs, one by bumping into a
vacant position at the Police Department and the other by bumping into a position at the Public Works
