Public Comment
Ruth Dixon-Mueller, League of Women Voters of Alameda, read from a letter submitted
by the League; stated the League urges the City Council to support an independent
review to provide a fair and open report to the public on the Fire Chief selection
process.
Paul Foreman, Alameda Citizens Task Force (ACT), read from a letter submitted by
ACT; stated ACT objects to the Council proceeding with the City Manager's evaluation;
until the City Manager's allegations are fully investigated and any necessary actions are
taken, the evaluation should be delayed or at least limited to participation by the
Councilmembers who are not accused of misconduct; urged the Council to listen to the
City Attorney.
Ken Peterson, Alameda, stated that he agrees with the League of Women Voters and
ACT; the City Manager and City Attorney evaluations should be put off until the situation
is clear; after the situation is resolved, the Councilmembers involved in the action
should recuse themselves.
David Mitchell, Alameda, stated the memo written by the City Manager to the City
Council was unfortunate, contains a lot of unsubstantiated accusations, and, along with
the editorial piece, tarnishes the names of Councilmembers and the Fire Department;
the City should exercise extreme restraint going forward and have an internal process
that uses discretion; in the event of future instances of misconduct, the matter should be
investigated before information is released; he works with everyone on the Council and
all members try to do the right thing; expressed concern about the information impacting
the upcoming election.
Gray Harris, Alameda, urged Council to go forward with the City Manager's review,
which has been agendized since April; stated false accusations should not derail
Council's work; the investigation is a bad management ploy to divert attention from the
City Manager, who is not doing a good job, and is a waste of time and money; she has
heard complaints in the community about the City Manager's performance; there was a
huge delay with the Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter and deliberate voter
confusion over the rent control measures; the City Manager left town during the water
crisis and mismanaged the Fire Chief hiring process; candidate Domenick Weaver

Agreement by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Knox White, Oddie and

Vella - 1, as follows:
The matter involves three separate litigations filed by Boatworks against the City
relating to property located at 2229, 2235 and 2241 Clement Street; the litigations
generally challenge the City's Development Impact Fee (DIF) ordinance, seek to
forestall the expiration of a tentative map approved by the City in 2011, challenge the
City's zoning decisions and attempts to enforce a 2010 settlement agreement that the
City contends was never fully consummated; Boatworks contends that the City owes
Boatworks in excess of $4.4 Million dollars as contemplated by the 2010 settlement
agreement and that various City decisions and actions caused further damages to
Boatworks in excess of $44 Million dollars; the City disagrees with Boatworks'
contentions; nonetheless, in the interest of promoting the development of much needed
housing and to avoid the uncertainty of litigation, the City Council authorized the City
Attorney to settle every pending litigation and dispute between the City and Boatworks,
consistent with the following terms:

AGENDA ITEM
(20-299) Recommendation to Provide Direction on Potential Measures Amending the City
Charter Relating to Charter Section 7-3 - Counter Interference.
Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated the subcommittee was appointed on December 18, 2018 to
address Alameda's serious issues, including housing and transportation; one way to
restore public trust and make City government more effective is to bring the Charter in
line to current needs and realities; the challenge will be to focus talents, strengths, and
energies toward working on the City's best interests; Council made a commitment to the
Grand Jury to move forward with reform recommendations; tonight's meeting is about
looking forward and good governance moving forward.
Vice Mayor Knox White stated that he would like to suggest one minor change; the current
language is so broad; the cities of Oakland and Santa Monica have revised their Charters
in recent years to be much more instructive, clear and understandable; the State already
provides a remedy for removing a Councilmember; clarifying would be good since the
Alameda City Charter is not clear about the remedy; suggested a change in the final
sentence of the proposed language: ""a violation of any provision in this section shall be
prosecuted as identified by State law... "" which would allow flexibility; the Charter would
not have to be amended as State law changes.
In response to Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft's inquiry, Vice Mayor Knox White stated he would
not cite a specific Code section of State law because it could change and any amendment
would have to be taken to the voters.
Councilmember Daysog stated his approach is focused on enforcing a City-managed
procedure for removing a Councilmember in violation of Charter Section 7-3; presented
slides outlining a six-step procedure; stated the process would be open to the public; the
accused can defend themselves; addresses issues raised in the Grand Jury report; stated
tonight is about looking forward; the recommendation from the Grand Jury was that the
Alameda City Charter should outline an enforcement process; highlighted Step 5 of his
outline which states the City Council should hold a public meeting to decide if a Special
Election should be held to remove a Councilmember; Step 6 allows the people to decide;
his additional language in 7-3a is about the procedures for fact finding; 7-3b is the

(20-439) Paul Foreman, Alameda, stated the routine invoking of reducing public
speaking time gives the public the impression that their thoughts are not valued; urged
that the Mayor first ask if there is a motion to waive the time limits prior to just invoking
the limit.
REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS
(20-440) Recommendation to Develop a Work Plan, including Community Dialogue, to
Address the Following: 1. Unbundling Services Currently Delivered by the Police
Department; 2. Systemic Racism; 3. a Review of Police Department Policies and
Practices; 4. Police Department Accountability and Oversight; 5. a Review of Laws that
Criminalize Survival; and 6. Other Matters which may be Pertinent, including Vacancies.
The Assistant City Manager made a brief presentation.
Councilmember Oddie inquired whether Council is looking at systemic racism as a
broader societal, Citywide issue, and not focusing specifically on accusing the Police
Department or Officers in the Department, of racism; stated that he just wants to be
clear what Council is looking at.
The Assistant City Manager responded that he has heard it to be a conversation about
either organizationally or with the community; the particular component of the work
program has not been directed towards the Police Department; it has been
organizationally as the City of Alameda and as the broader community, which is why it
is not embedded in the work plan tonight.
Councilmember Oddie stated in the future, it would be helpful to bifurcate the topic on
the agenda that addresses Police reform so there is not confusion that the focus is on
one particular department.
The Assistant City Manager stated the work plan could do that going forward.

Public Comment read into record:
Zac Bowling, Alameda, expressed his opposition to selling the Alameda Theatre to a
private entity; stated the City has invested tax payer money into refurbishing the theatre;
urged the matter be brought to the public prior to Council consideration of sale.
Savanna Cheer, Alameda, urged Council not spend additional budget dollars on
policing, including salaries and benefits; stated the Unbundling Subcommittee provided
recommendations for Police spending; urged Council to table the negotiations until the
community has been consulted; stated there needs to be a clear definition about how
the Police engages with the public; urged Council to define how the Police engages with
the public before defining terms of employment.
Erin Fraser, Alameda, suggested Council adopt approaches to negotiations with the
Alameda Fire Chiefs Association (AFCA), Alameda Police Officers Association (APOA)
and the Alameda Police Managers Association (APMA); outlined five approaches
related to short terms, solving category one crimes, no piggyback provisions, demotion
abilities, and Council recusals based on receiving funding.
Grover Wehman-Brown, Alameda, urged Council to remember the commitments voted
on not to increase Alameda Police Department (APD) staffing levels as terms are
negotiated; stated the recent revelations that APD staff used facial recognition software
after Council direction not to, the use of force on Mr. Watkins, and now the death of
someone while in Police custody are examples of how the members of the organization
are not keeping basic agreed upon commitments.
The meeting was adjourned to Closed Session to consider:

COUNCIL REFERRAL
(21-323) Consider Directing the City Manager to Take Immediate Action Related to
Alameda Police Department (APD) Response to 911 Calls by Dispatchers and Police
Officers, Require Non-Police Response to Certain 911 Calls, Prepare a Compendium of All
Mental Health Resources Currently Available to APD, Revise APD Use of Force Policies
and Establish Protocols for Requesting Non-Police Response, Backup, and/or
Interventions, Create a Mental Health-Oriented Response Model, Initiate a Public Education
Campaign to Provide Easily Accessible Alternatives to Calling 911, and Work with City
Council to Create a Civilian Police Oversight Board. (Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft and Vice Mayor
Vella)
Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft and Vice Mayor Vella gave a presentation.
Councilmember Herrera Spencer inquired whether this is the meeting Vice Mayor tweeted
about: calling for an emergency City Council meeting so action can be taken in response to
the death of Mario Gonzalez.
Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft responded the meeting that she and the Vice Mayor called is for the
purpose stated in the Council Referral.
Councilmember Herrera Spencer stated it sounds like it is not that meeting; she would like
clarification that it is not the intent of the meeting; she would also like clarification about the
Council giving direction on March 16th; there were an array of motions, which were
unanimously supported; her understanding is that said direction would be coming back to
Council; she thinks Council has already given direction on many, if not all, of the points in
the Referral; she would like to know if Councilmembers are now opposing the motions that
were made on March 16th; questioned what new items required holding this meeting and
how the list differs from the direction Council already gave to staff.
Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she believes Council can accelerate and supplement some
of the Subcommittee recommendations; she has been working with organizations, such as
Alameda County Behavioral Health Services, and reaching out to other Mayors and has
learned about things that Alameda would be able to use, which is why it is important to have
a compendium of all the resources; others do not have a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
(24/7) response, which is a shortcoming; the City of Berkeley has its own Health

REGULAR AGENDA ITEM
(22-282) Adoption of Uncodified Urgency Ordinance to Take Effect Immediately Upon Its
Adoption Concerning Rent Control and Limitations on Evictions Applicable to Maritime
Residential Tenancies including Floating Homes. [Requires four affirmative votes]; and
(22-282 A) Introduction of Uncodified Ordinance Concerning Rent Control and Limitations on
Evictions Applicable to Maritime Residential Tenancies including Floating Homes.
Special Counsel gave a brief presentation.
Councilmember Herrera Spencer inquired whether approval of the ordinances includes the
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP); stated there have been reference to fee and rent increases for
tenants; inquired whether approval of the matter would allow staff to review whether or not
related expenses can be passed through.
The City Attorney stated the ordinance as provided exempts two current provisions of the rent
control ordinance: temporary relocation and CIPs if Council believes provisions should also
apply, Council can direct staff to amend the language.
Councilmember Herrera Spencer inquired whether Council would like to discuss the reason
behind excluding the two provisions.
Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft responded Council can discuss the matter or hear public comment;
requested the City Attorney provide clarification.
The City Attorney stated the reason for excluding the provisions is due to being less applicable
for marine tenancies; the temporary relocation provision usually applies to a situation where a
bathroom is taken out of commission at a regular apartment and repairs need to be made where
the tenant cannot stay in the apartment; floating home tenants actually have control over the
fixtures and the rent is different from typical tenants in an apartment; Council may provide staff
different direction if it so desires.
Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she would like to hear the difference between a maritime
tenancy and a typical apartment tenancy; inquired whether the difference is due to maritime
tenants actually owning the structure.
The City Attorney responded in the affirmative; stated the scenario is akin to mobile homes; the
resident owns the structure and has control over electrical and plumbing; however, the land is

REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS
4-A
Review of Classification Process.
Discussion: Staff presented to the Board a report regarding Alameda Police Officers Association- Non-
sworn (PANS) December 28, 2003 - December 24, 2006 MOU Implementation, Classification/ Step
Reassignment of incumbent employees. The report was comprised of a list of incumbent PANS members
involved in the December 26, 2004 classification reassignment and was provided to the Board as notice of
the action for presentation to and affirmation of the Board. Board President Robles-Wong explained that he
was surprised by how many employees were affected by the reclassification issue from last meeting. He
stated that he would like job title assignments to be confirmed so that there will not be a question years
from now that each person who was reclassified has permanent status. Executive Secretary Willis
explained that there were no changes in qualifications or salary ranges, and there were no promotions
given. Board President Robles-Wong stated that what needed to be clarified was that the position was
filled without an exam process, and that it is legitimate because employees were ""reassigned"". Executive
Secretary Willis stated that there is no definition for reassignment under the Civil Service Rules. The
individuals were broken out separately into new classes with the same qualifications. Member Rich asked
if an employee can move to another specialty when they are reclassified under the new, broader class. Jill
Kovacs explained that the certification is assigned to one specialty or the other and is not transferable.
Board President Robles-Wong indicated that there are two ways to be placed in a new job class, you can
either take an exam and be placed into it by promotion or demotion, or you have to be placed into it by the
Civil Service Board.
Executive Secretary Willis presented the Board with a flow chart of the reclassification process. She
explained that a reclassification is only brought to the Civil Service Board when a person has been doing
the job duties for one year and is given a promotion without an exam. Member Rich asked if seniority is
affected by reclassification. Executive Secretary Willis explained that seniority is based upon total time with",CivilServiceBoard/2006-11-28.pdf

CONSENT CALENDAR:
Board President Robles-Wong questioned why EMS Education Coordinator had been extended. Jill
Kovacs stated that it is a specialized class and there are not many people who meet the qualifications. A
member of the public stated that EMS Education Coordinator should have expired per the Civil Service
Rules. Jill Kovacs stated that the file would need to be pulled in order to research why it had been
extended. Board President Robles-Wong stated that the department that extended the EMS Education
Coordinator eligible list needed to be advised of the Rule, and that Human Resources would need to hold a
new exam due to the fact that the current list is expired. Questions were raised regarding the revised
Administrative Technician I, Administrative Technician II, and Administrative Technician III specifications.
Jill Kovacs explained that revisions to the series involved expansion to include a development services
financial transactions specialization. Item 4-D was pulled from the Consent Calendar for further discussion.
Member Peeler moved to accept the consent calendar with the exception of item 4-D, List of Specifications.
Member Rich seconded and carried by a 3-0 vote.
Discussion: Regarding item 4-D, Board Member Rich stated that he would like to see the red lined copies of
the revised specifications. Jill Kovacs stated that some specification changes are straightforward and some
are complex. Board President Robles-Wong stated that in the case of a complex revision a brief report and
summary of what had been changed would be helpful. Jill Kovacs suggested that the Civil Service Board
could be copied on Bargaining Unit notices regarding specification changes which include the
circumstances involved in specification changes.
Member Peeler made a motion to approve item 4-D. Member Rich seconded and carried by a 3-0 vote.

REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS
4-A Request for Reinstatement - Permit Technician I
Karen Willis explained that a person had voluntarily resigned from their position as Permit Technician I
and that they were requesting to be reinstated. She also explained that should the position become
available again, they would automatically be placed on the eligible list. Member Peeler moved to accept
the reinstatement, Member Rocha seconded and carried by a 5-0 vote.
4-B
Eligible List History Review
Karen Willis explained that the board had requested Human Resources staff to bring back information
regarding the Golf and Park Maintenance Worker classification, how the job announcements had been
posted, history of the classification, how bumping rights apply, and how or why there is only one seniority list.
She then passed out materials related to this issue. Jill Kovacs explained that one of the documents was a
general look at the Golf Course as a department and division. She went on to explain dates of when the Golf
Course became a division under the direction of the Recreation and Parks Department, and when it finally
became its own department. Karen Willis stated that the Golf Department is currently being overseen by the
Director of the Recreation and Parks Department in the absence of a General Manager of the Golf Complex.
Board Member McHugh asked how the rolls changed as the responsibility of the function moved. Jill Kovacs
stated that when Fred Framstead came aboard the contracted operations were brought back under the City
which meant an expanded roll. Member Horikoshi asked if there was a relationship between the Golf Course
being a Division or a Department and whether they are combined classifications or not. Jill Kovacs stated that
there was no relation and that the history was for informational purposes and to understand the cohabitation
of Golf and Parks and Recreation. Board President Rich asked if, once Golf became a separate Department,
there was any difference as to how people got reassigned. Derek Taylor, Golf employee, stated that it was
well known that at any time an employee could be reassigned to the Parks Department and vice versa
because they were Golf and Park Maintenance Workers. Dennis McDaniels, Parks employee, stated that to
his knowledge there had never been any commingling between the two Departments. He also stated that he
was not sure whether or not it was a possibility, but as far as he knows it has never been put in place. Mark
Smith, Golf employee, stated that several Golf employees had taken lateral transfers to the Parks Department",CivilServiceBoard/2008-11-19.pdf

REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS
4-A
Determination of status of classification of Golf and Park Maintenance Worker.
Executive Secretary Willis stated that the purpose of calling a special meeting was to bring more information
to the Board to aid in the determination of the status of the Golf and Park Maintenance Worker as to whether
or not it is one classification. Board President Michael Rich stated that it was his understanding that people
could go through a grievance process if they believed that the lay-off had not been implemented correctly.
Executive Secretary Willis stated that the ACEA Bargaining Unit does not have binding arbitration in their
grievance process but that they do have an adjustment board process. Board President Rich asked if the City
Manager has the ultimate say on the disposition of the grievance. Executive Secretary Willis stated that
anything under a 30 day suspension would go directly to the City Manager, and anything over a 30 day
suspension could either go to the City Manager or the Civil Service Board. Board President Rich stated that it
was his understanding that the Civil Service Board is not involved in any kind of dispute resolution and is not
involved in providing any council or advice to employees subject to lay-off. Executive Secretary Willis
confirmed. Board President Rich asked if the lay-offs were happening in stages. Executive Secretary Willis
stated that City Council has approved an amendment to the ACEA MOU which effectively leases out the
management portion of the Golf Course. She further stated that MCEA employees will be laid-off at the end
of December, and most of the ACEA employees will be laid-off at the end of 2009 with one exception in early
January 2009. She stated that they had hoped to have some employees take advantage of the Golden
Handshake to avoid a few lay-offs.
Board President Rich asked why Public Works Maintenance Workers were not being laid-off if they have less
seniority than the Golf and Park Maintenance Workers. Executive Secretary Willis stated that lay-offs are
within the specific job classification as stated in the ACEA MOU. She explained that there had previously
been one person who was hired as a Golf and Park Maintenance Worker but then transferred over to a Public
Works Maintenance Worker Position in Public Works. She explained that the reason he was able to transfer
was because he was on the eligible list for both classifications at the same time. Board President Rich asked
how different the Public Works and Golf and Park Maintenance Worker positions are. Jill Kovacs explained",CivilServiceBoard/2008-12-17.pdf

REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS
4-A. Presentation to the Board by Legal Counsel regarding Disciplinary Appeal hearing
Procedures
Mr. Craig Judson, legal counsel to the Board stated that were two items he would cover. One is
a procedural issue regarding the absence of a member of the Board and whether or not the
hearing will go forward. He said that this would be covered when all of the parties are present.
The second is a briefing on the disciplinary appeal hearing procedures.
Mr. Judson explained that the hearing scheduled before the Board is an appeal of disciplinary
action taken and that this hearing is all about due process. In accordance with state and federal
law, due process requires a fair and impartial hearing from a process standpoint. The Board is
serving in a Judicial/Appellant capacity and its role is to be fair and open-minded. The
overriding issue with due process is to have hearing procedures that are fair and consistent.
He explained that this means that everyone should have the opportunity to be heard and to be
able to offer rebuttal to any evidence presented.
Mr. Judson then explained how important the issue of confidentiality is with these hearings. He
told the Board that there were two primary individuals involved with this issue and protecting
their confidentiality is paramount. He stated that the hearing will be closed unless the appellant
has requested the hearing to be open. Mr. Judson emphasized that this appeal should not be
discussed outside of the hearing and that the Board should only discuss the information from
this appeal during deliberations which will be held in closed session.
Mr. Judson then went over the hearing procedures handout and made modifications to these
procedures. He explained that briefs were received earlier that day from both sides and that the
Board would be provided with an opportunity to read the briefs. He emphasized to the Board",CivilServiceBoard/2011-07-28.pdf

AGENDA ITEM:
A. A Special Training Session Meeting has been called for the Civil Service
Board.
Assistant City Attorney Il Sierra began the meeting stating that a special meeting was
called to clarify and discuss the roles and responsibilities of various Boards and
Commissions. There have been questions regarding the parameters of the Civil Service
Board and the appropriate role of a Board Member under the Civil Service system.
Assistant City Attorney II Sierra distributed materials (Civil Service Rules, City Charter and
Civil Service Board Ordinance 3011). Ms. Sierra stated that the Civil Service System came
about when President Garfield was assassinated by somebody who was angry because
they could not acquire employment. In turn the Vice President at that time, who became
President Arthur, put the Civil Service System in place by creating the merit system.
The role of the Civil Service Board is to ensure a fair process and to safeguard the merit
system. The Charter and the Ordinances are to support the Board in safeguarding the
Civil Service Board Rules within the City of Alameda.
City Charter Article 13 states that each Board member is responsible to the City Council for
establishing, reviewing the policies of the Civil Service System and making
recommendations. Each member is part of a Policy body, just as much as the City Council
and the Mayor who direct policy and direct the City Manager to administer those policies.
Each member's job is to make sure the system is fair and when a member has
recommendations on policy, they are to be directed to the Human Resources Director who
administers those policies. A parallel can also be drawn between the City Manager and",CivilServiceBoard/2012-08-08.pdf

President Peeler stated that item A on the minutes, Attorney Kern was at the meeting and stated that the
Sunshine Ordinance training was a one-time training, but the Ordinance states that it is an annual training.
She would like the Ordinance changed to adhere to the Ordinance. The Ordinance needs to be changed so
that we are not out of compliance. Director Brock stated that her understanding is that they are viewing it as
one time but she will follow-up and confirm with the City Attorney's Office.
Member Malloy asked when the last time the Ordinance was amended. President Peeler stated that it was her
understanding that they were still working/developing the Ordinance.
Member McHugh stated that in the Minutes what is being said is being captured but sometimes if the person
was not at the meeting the meaning is lost. She feels that the Board needs to be a little clearer when they are
asking questions so that it is all recorded and will make sense.
Member McHugh stated she had the following corrections to the minutes:
-
Page four, third paragraph, first sentence should read
Planning Services Managers so that all
decisions divisions would have division head
-

At hand today is not the

GENERAL DISCUSSION OF CIVIL SERVICE RULES
Article VII Section 2 - It was agreed to use a consistent term instead of interchangeably
using Executive Secretary to the Board and Human Resources Director.
It was suggested to include an appendix to provide a basic template for items where
candidates are requested to submit such as appeals, written applications, waivers, etc.
There is a concern that the second sentence may not be following the lay-off provision
in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in that it is based on years of service. It
was agreed to leave the current language but add ""unless superseded by MOUs"".
It was discussed to add a separate paragraph addressing that an employee may
request to be placed on an eligible list for a lower classification for which they qualify",CivilServiceBoard/2018-05-10.pdf

by Molly McFarlane, an Alameda resident. The group will be doing performances in San Francisco
and Oakland, and has asked for a $500 stipend from those cities, but are willing to work with
Alameda on an alternative amount. Concerns about the performance include the weather in October,
what day to have it, ground surface for the dancers if out-of-doors, size of performance area
(preferably 30 feet by 20 feet, but 20 feet by 20 feet would be OK), source of funding for stipend and
other expenses, conflicting events such as Yom Kippur (October 1st), theme, banner proclaiming
""Disability Awareness Month"", if there should be speakers such as the Mayor as well, microphone
and loudspeaker needs, Commissioner and Vice Chairman Moore and Commissioner Lord-Hausman

Guest Ms. Gigli and Steber informed the commission on Bike Alameda's campaign for an
alternative Estuary crossing, as the existing tube is not bike or pedestrian user friendly. Bike
Alameda is hopeful that a water shuttle/taxi between Alameda Landing and Jack London
Square will be implemented and is seeking support from the commission and other interest
groups. Though the commission did not disagree on the concept they did have some
reservations. In general once disembarking from the water shuttle there are no other transit
or disability accessible facilities on either end for the disabled. Chair Ed Cooney's opinion
was that the shuttle was not relevant to the disabled. Commissioner Audrey Lord-Hausman
was concern about accessibility on the shuttle and once one disembarks where does one go.
Commissioner Charles Bunker stated that access from the dock at Jack London Village is
very steep. Commissioner Toby Berger thought the shuttle is a great idea but how does a
disabled person get to the shuttle. Commissioner Steve Fort thought it was important that
the commission provide input now. Commissioner Audrey Lord-Hausman withdrew her
motion to support Bike Alameda's endeavor, as she was not sure that that was within the
commission's roles and responsibility.

tactile signals.

facilities, providing service to areas not served by East Bay Paratransit, offering group trips
through the Mastick Senior Center, and providing transit scholarships for the poor. The
expanded program would include opening up the taxi program to all seniors age 75 and
older, and those 70 and up without a driver's license. Mr. Bergman then requested any
suggestions for new program ideas and for providing additional outreach. The Commission
suggested the following: College of Alameda, the Commission's booth at the Concerts at the

Innovations, City web site, World Institute on Disability (WID) and AP&T. Chair Lord-
Hausman requested that any additional suggestions be sent to her.

1. Paratransit Program:
Transportation Coordinator Barry Bergman provided an overview of the City's expanded
paratransit program, a taxi service that supplements East Bay Paratransit's ADA-mandated
service. Brochures were distributed to the Commissioners. Additional brochures were requested

provided by taxi, trips may be scheduled the same day as they will be taken.

needs to improve their dispatching as on numerous occasions a trip to Oakland from Alameda
involves first picking up passengers in Hayward. Barry informed the Commission that,
depending upon the type of vehicle dispatched and the passengers' disabilities, or non-disability,
up to four persons can share a ride to the same destination as one fare if they start from the same
pick-up location. For additional information contact Barry Bergman at 510-749-5916 or the

1. Carnegie Building:
Mr. Greg McFann, City's Building Official, Ms. Rosemary Muller and Mr. Larry Dreifuss of
Muller and Caulfield Associates, architectural consultants, informed the Commissioners on the
proposed uses of the Carnegie Building and challenges that the historic building presents for
meeting ADA requirements. The current proposed uses being considered are a one-stop City
Permit Center with art displays or a historic museum. ADA accessibility to the various building
levels will be by a new building addition located at the northwest corner of the building and will
include an elevator, stairwells, and restrooms. The restrooms currently are proposed in the
basement level of the building. Exterior access to the new addition will be from Oak Street via a
landscaped, concrete-terrazzo walkway. The Commission made the following suggestions: 1)
add a bench(s) along the walkway for rest stops; 2) provide grab bars, coat hooks and shelf in the
non-ADA restroom stalls; 3) provide fold-up changing tables in both the mens and women's
restrooms; 4) provide a small children toilet; and 5) if the restrooms are to be located at different
floor levels, the men's facility should be at the basement level and the woman's at the main floor
level for safety concerns. The Commission will be kept informed by Mr. McFann and the
architects on the project. A presentation is scheduled to be made to the City Council on
November 20, 2007.

impacts to low-income communities. An additional change, Line 31 will now run to Alameda
Point instead of Line 63.

Commissioner Lord-Hausman discussed the issue of housing development in Alameda and
the lack of accessibility for those with disabilities and seniors. Commissioner Lord-Hausman
stated that she visited the new home developments at Warmington along the estuary, and
discovered that none of the homes were accessible and Commissioner Lord-Hausman would
like the CDI to respond to the lack of accessible single-level homes. Commissioner Lord-
Hausman went to the Planning Board as a citizen to discuss the oversight of accessible
homes. She is now proposing the CDI write a letter to the Council to develop a policy
regarding inclusion of the CDI and new development. Commissioner Harp stated that the
City of Fremont has developed an Accessible Universal Design Ordinance similar to what
Commissioner Lord-Hausman is suggesting.
Secretary Akil informed the CDI that any policy would have to be run by the City Attorney
for legal review and clarification on any existing policies. The CDI fully supported moving

Alameda Fire Department Safety Assessments and Minor Accessibility Modifications
(Ruthann Crawford, HUD funding)
Ruthann Crawford stated that Chief D'Orazi is providing HUD funding for the Alameda
Safety & Accessibility Program. A.S.A.P provides installation of ramps, doorways,
countertops, etc. for people with special needs at no cost to the citizen. All citizens of
Alameda are able to participate if they earn moderate income. Most elderly and disabled
qualify for this program.
Chair Lord-Hausman asked about the success rate of the program to which Crawford
replied they are trying to create outreach programs to gain better recognition. Crawford
had already contacted former A.S.A.P participants and seniors in Alameda. She had also
posted information on the City's website and she wants to next meet with Alameda Sun.
Chair Lord-Hausman added that Alameda Municipal Power and Alameda Food Bank
may be able to write about A.S.A.P. to which Commissioner Tam commented Meals on
Wheels and local churches (i.e. Buena Vista Church) can be good resources as well.

Center (Zoe Holder) would be good places to outreach to.
Crawford wants to target the lower income population because those with higher income
may already have all these installations in their homes.

Planning Board, as would normally be required for a variance from building codes, so it
would make the process of providing home modifications less onerous for seniors and
persons with disabilities.

CDI Organization (Amy Wooldridge, Interim Assistant City Manager)
Board Secretary Akil stated that the purpose of the topic will be to seek input from the Commission
and that the goal was to have a productive discussion on how best to move forward with the CDI,
which would be led by Amy Wooldridge, Interim Assistant City Manager.
Ms. Wooldridge stated that the initial discussion started with a brainstorm meeting with staff in
June about the reorganization efforts and role of the CDI. This process was started with a desire for
the City to better serve the CDI and address issues raised by Commissioners, such as whether to
add aging.
Ms. Wooldridge addressed several items including:
Number of members: Possibility to reduce the Commission from nine to seven
members. Given that it is the largest member City Commission, she asked for feedback
on why Commissioners feel it should remain with nine members.
Number of meetings: The Commission currently meets quarterly and Ms. Wooldridge
asked for feedback on whether to increase that to every other month. The
Commissioners all agreed that they preferred bi-monthly or monthly.
Workgroups: Ms. Wooldridge recognized that CDI has been holding informal work
group meetings. She clarified that a work group meeting only needs to be formally
noticed if there is a quorum or more of Commissioners present. She also offered the
idea to address the issue of a diversity of perspectives on the Commission by having
ambassadors who are not formally appointed but participate in work groups.",CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2015-07-27.pdf

Presentation and Recommendation on Proposed City of Alameda Universal Design Ordinance
(Andrew Thomas, City Planner)
Mr. Thomas presents handout, gives background. Released proposed ordinance language to Social
Service Human Relations Board (SSHRB) and Commission on Disability Issues (CDI) last month.
Proposed ordinance lays out requirements on all new major projects in Alameda. Concept is
Universal Design Unit is one that could be adapted to accommodate persons with disabilities.
Bedroom, Kitchen, Living Area, Bathroom on first floor, has elements that accommodate range of
physical disabilities.
Percentage of new units that this would apply to is under discussion. What does the building code
require now? Chapter 11-A of Uniform Building Code should be referenced, which is well known
by City inspectors and planners. City adopts building code changes every year, and any changes
to that chapter at the state level would be adopted each year.
Add these items to conditions of approval. Then it is on City to make sure building code is adhered
to, rather than adopting new language that is only specific to Alameda.
Percentage: 15% seems too low - what is the right number? What do we tie the percentage to? We
want to write something that is easily adaptable. Keep it simple. Unit should be accessible to enter,
4 primary living spaces without stairs. Stairs could in unit, but the primary living spaces are
accessible.",CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2015-10-26.pdf

CDI Retreat March 11, 2017

Present were Vice Chair Brillinger, Commissioner Linton, Commissioner Hall,
Commissioner Deutsch, Commissioner Aghapekian, Chair Kenny
Commissioner Tsztoo was present 10am till 12pm, and Commissioner Lewis
12pm to 2pm.
Also present was Joseph Paratansky a Human-Disability Rights Advocate.
The retreat started with each attendee stating one thing in the next year he/she is
excited for personally and with the CDI.
Next the Commissioners discussed possible changes and additions to bylaws. The
Commissioners decided not to change the bylaws to allow chair to sign petitions
that directly impact persons with disability. These items should be brought to CDI
meeting so entire Commission can weigh in. If time sensitive and important enough
a special meeting can be called.
The Commissioners did decide to give individual Commissioners the power to act as
a liaison between CDI and his/her assigned Board or Commission. Commissioners
should be bringing any and all pertinent received from the assigned Board or
Commission to the CDI meeting. Commissioner must not voice opinions on behalf of
the CDI unless specifically asked to by the CDI. Chair Kenny will draft the language
for the addition to the bylaws and CDI will vote at our April meeting.
The Commissioners then went quickly through any questions on the Brown Act and
Sunshine Ordinance. When discussing Parlimentary Procedure it was decided each
commissioner will be asked for comments/questions after presentations.
The commissioners broke into two groups to discuss the following:
What do you think is working well with the organization?
What would you like to see the organization do more of, do better or do
differently?
What do you think the organization should stop doing?
What are three things the organization should focus on over the next 12
months?
What is your vision for this organization over the next three years?
What would help you feel more engaged and useful as a board member?
What would help the board work even more effectively together
A lunch break was taken and after lunch the group came together and discussed
what came out in the small group discussions. The main themes of the discussion
were increasing visibility of CDI and creating more connections with the",CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2017-03-11.pdf

1. INTRODUCTIONS AND COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC
This was moved to later in the meeting, after item 2.D.
2. COMMISSION BUSINESS
2.A. and 2.B. Brown Act and Sunshine Ordinance
Commissioners addressed limitations regarding endorsements and support of ballot measures and
elections. The Commission may listen to a speaker and make a recommendation to City Council
regarding a subject, since the Commission was started as an advisory group for the Mayor, but
cannot urge the public to vote in one way or another. Commissioners may express political opinions
on their own, outside of the meeting, if they make it clear that they speak as individuals and not as
representatives of the Commission.
The Commission discussed ways that they can have more opportunities to advise the Council and
other boards and commissions. Each commissioner has been assigned one or more boards and
commissions to attend and in which to be a representative of the Disability Commission. Staff
member Kozisek will forward lists of upcoming issues. This will be a standing agenda item. One
initial approach may be to speak to the Planning Board quarterly.
2.C. Parliamentary Procedures
No discussion.
2.D. Bylaws
The Bylaws should be changed in all citations from ""Commission on Disability Issues"" to the newer
""Commission on Disability"". Section 2 mentions the wrong number of commissioners. The concept
of a pair of co-chairs, rather than one chair and one vice chair, was discussed, and what would
trigger ""incapacity"" and ""delegation"" of the chair to the vice chair. The general consensus was to
keep the chair and vice chair positions, so that the chair can be the official figurehead, but to
informally have the chair and vice chair share the chair's workload.

statistics can be delayed by 2 years because of the nature they are produced. We see

Discussion on Management Practice for Golf Complex Volunteer Marshal
Program.
The General Manager reported that the agenda item was the request of Chair
Swanson to clarify the Chuck Corica Golf Complex marshal Program. The
Complex currently has ten (10) Management Practices in place to explain various
policies. The Head Golf Professional contacted Bay Area golf courses to inquire
about the Marshal Programs and policies at their facilities to determine how they
compare to the program at the Chuck Corica Golf Complex. The General
Manager passed out the information packet containing a draft of the Management
Practice on the Volunteer Marshal Work Program and the comparison policies
from the other golf courses. The comparison shows that the marshal policies at
the Chuck Corica Golf Complex are comparable if not superior to those at other
courses. A marshal meeting was held in December to discuss the current policies.
Mike Winkenbach has been assigned to oversee the Marshal Program and has
been marshaling the golf courses on the weekends to ensure that everything is",GolfCommission/2005-01-19.pdf

The General Manager reported that he has met with Interim City Manager, Bill
Norton, to discuss the project. Back in November 2004 the approval of the
contract for design services for the project with the Dahlin Group was pulled off
the City Council Agenda. The possibility of purchasing the plans from the City of
San Mateo's Poplar Creek clubhouse have been discussed as a cost saving effort.
The building is smaller than originally desired for the Chuck Corica Golf
Complex, although it is very functional and aesthetically pleasing. It would still
be advisable to have the Dahlin Group oversee the Master Plan for the project.
The General Manager has contacted the City of San Mateo and they are willing to
discuss the purchase of the plans although no price has been determined and",GolfCommission/2005-02-16.pdf

The purpose of this management practice is to establish and clarify
procedures regarding Golf Complex volunteer marshal work hours,
schedules, activities and benefit package. It is required that the Chuck

Approval of Management Practice for the Chuck Corica Golf Complex GUEST
Customer Service Program (Action Item).
The General Manager reported that over the years the customer service at
the Golf Complex has faltered. Management has been working on
a
program to properly train employees and volunteer marshals in proper
customer service skills. The GUEST program was developed at a bank
that Assistant Golf Professional Jeff Leong previously worked at and
management decided to implement and train employees using the formula.
The purpose of this management practice is to establish and clarify
procedures regarding the Golf Complex GUEST Customer Service
Program. It is required that Golf Complex Management establishes a customer
service standard that employees and volunteer marshals can use to provide our
customers the highest quality golf experience. The Head Golf Professional
passed out the Draft Management Practice for the Chuck Corica Golf
Complex GUEST Customer Service Program and outlined the program.

Presentation on Front Entrance Beautification by Commissioner Wood.
Eight years ago Commissioner Wood constructed a model of a potential
plan to redesign the front entrance to the Chuck Corica Golf Complex.
The plan included renovation of the Fire Training Tower instead of
removing the structure. The General Manager met with the Acting City
Manager recently and the discussion concerned removing the tower. The
Acting City Manager would like the structure removed and the cost
absorbed by the Golf Complex. The question was raised why the Golf
Complex is responsible for the price of the tower removal when the site
has been utilized by the Fire Department. The redesign consists of
removing or relocating many obstacles that are located in the area of the
entrance. It was mentioned that there is a memorial flagpole and plaque",GolfCommission/2005-05-18.pdf

Discussion Regarding the Responsibilities of the Golf Commission per the City of

The General Manager reported that the question was brought up at the last
Golf Commission meeting regarding the role and responsibilities of the
Golf Commissioners. The General Manager handed out a copy of the City
of Alameda ordinance 2-9.4 that outlines the role of the Golf Commission.
The Golf Commissioners have been given the responsibility to review
policies regarding the Golf Complex and to make recommendations to the
City Council. In years past there have been problems with Golf
Commissioners disciplining employees at the Complex. These concerns
need to be brought to the General Manager. An item not mentioned in the
ordinance was the term limits for the Golf Commission. The term of a
Golf Commissioner cannot exceed two consecutive four-year terms. The
thought is that it is a standard for all of the City of Alameda's Boards and
Commissions and stated in another section of the City's Municipal Code.
The General Manager will get clarification on the matter.",GolfCommission/2005-06-15.pdf

allowing the Resident Junior and Non-Resident Junior rates be effective only after
twilight which is 3:00 pm during daylight savings time and 2:00 pm during

Discussion of Chuck Corica Golf Complex Clubhouse Project Cost Estimates
from Dahlin Group.
The General Manager reported that the cost estimates for the clubhouse are
completed. During the process of completing the estimates it became clear that
it
was not cost effective to use the plans from the City of San Mateo's Poplar Creek
Golf Course. The number of changes needed to the existing plans made them
impractical. The General Manager welcomed Dorene Soto from the Development
Services Department. Ms. Soto reported that the cost estimates came in at $7.5
million. The problem with the Poplar Creek plan is that they didn't really fit the
site and the changes needed are so extensive that you might as well start from
scratch. Ms. Soto asked the Dahlin Group what could be done to bring the cost
down and they suggested only building the banquet facility now and phase the
other areas of the project. The question was raised regarding the difference from
the original cost estimate of $6.5 million. The original estimates did not include
the furniture, fixtures and soft costs. The soft costs include the redrawing of the
plans, which is estimated at $750,000. Not included in these estimates are soil
cleanup if any is necessary and time billed by the Development Services

by the Finance Director for accuracy. The report clearly shows that there is no
excess money to pay for Capital Improvements and additional debt service and in
order for the Golf Complex to reduce a future deficit there needs to be an increase
in revenue and a reduction in expenditures. The question was raised regarding the
timing of the proposed fee increases. The General Manager stated that after the
joint meeting there will be a better understanding of what sort of projects can be
done and the amount of money necessary for the projects. The decision
to
increase the rates will be based on the out come of the joint meeting and whether
or not improvement projects and a return of funds from the General Fund are
approved. The Golf Commission will review the information and get back to the
General Manager with any questions.

Chair Wood introduced Miriam Delagrange of the Development Services Department. Ms.
Delagrange referenced the Dahlin Group Master Plan, which the Golf Commission had not

Shop Facility (approximately 8,000 s.f.), Phase B2-Exterior modifications to the existing Pro

Clarification on February 11, 2007 Special Meeting Minutes.
Chair Wood referenced the minutes from the February 11, 2007 special meeting where the fee
change schedule was corrupted. Chair Wood requested that the fee change schedule be included
in the minutes as an attachment. The request was also made to have the reformatted fee change
schedule included in the City Council staff report for the March 20, 2007 meeting. Secretary
Sullwold made the motion to rescind the prior approval of the February 11, 2007 special meeting
minutes and approve the amended and reformatted minutes and fee change schedule attachment
dated March 5, 2007. Commissioner Schmitz seconded the motion and the Golf Commission
approved unanimously.
3-B
Review of BMS Report.
Chair Wood reported that BMS, an architectural landscaping firm, was contacted in October
2006 to do a study when the Golf Commission was looking at erecting a temporary structure to
serve as a banquet facility. The purpose of the report was to get an idea of additional cost
associated with putting up a temporary structure. The scope of work got expanded to look at not
only the area around the existing clubhouse and the proposed new banquet facility but also
secondarily to look at the entryway at the corner of Island Drive and Clubhouse Memorial Road
as a separate zone and then as another zone the driveway (Clubhouse Memorial Road) to a
portion of the parking lot. The thought at the time that the proposal was requested was that it
would include costs for utilities and infrastructure, which it does not. Secretary Sullwold
expressed her frustration with the fact that the proposal cost upwards of $20,000 and is
landscaping for concepts that have not been decided on and may never be completed. The
problem seems to be that the Development Services Department runs the project and by the time
the Golf Commission gets the information or the proposals the work has already been done

Review of the Marshal Program and Benefits.
The Marshal Program and Benefits agenda item which was approved by the Golf Commission at
the February 28, 2007 special meeting was placed back on the agenda at the request of
Commissioner Schmitz who felt it was a hasty decision and that it should be reworked to come
up with a plan that is fair to the marshals and management. Chair Wood opened the floor to
members of the audience for comment. Tony Martinelli, a golf course marshal, stated that if the
policy goes into effect he would no longer volunteer as a marshal because the benefits he uses
would be taken away. Mr. Martinelli plays golf on the weekends and if he were not allowed to
do so free of charge he would no longer see any reason to marshal. Paul Mountain, the marshal
coordinator, stated that he does not think that restructuring the marshal program will solve the
Golf Complex revenue problems. A survey of the current marshals was conducted and 25% said

Approval of the Marshal Program and Benefits. (Action Item)
Chair Wood reported that representatives from the Marshal Program, Golf Commission
and Management met to discuss the proposed changes to the Marshal benefits. The
meeting resulted in a reduction of the proposed cart fee of $10 to $7. Also it was agreed
upon that Marshal's would be allowed to play golf one time on the weekend provided
that they are playing with a paying threesome and the Marshal does not make the
reservation. The program will be reviewed in three to six months and if the financial
climate at the Complex has improved the benefits will be increased. There was some
confusion regarding the rate a customer playing with a marshal will pay for a golf cart.
The rate will be the applicable rate at the time of play and based on the age of the player.
The same benefits will be included in the management practice for the employee benefits.
The following changes were made to the Management Practice's footnote: ""The
aforementioned benefits shall apply to all persons eligible to receive complimentary
green fees, including, but not limited to employees, volunteers, Golf Commissioners, City
Council Members, PGA/LPGA and other VIP guests."" The motion was made
by
Secretary Sullwold to accept the Volunteer Marshal Work Program Management Practice
#7 with the modifications discussed. Commissioner Gammell seconded the motion. The
Golf Commission passed the motion unanimously. The new program will be effective

The Interim General Manager stated that the tournament rates were increased on April 1, 2007.
There are many groups who booked and paid the deposit for events prior to April 1, 2007,
although the tournament will take place after the increase effective date. The contract states that
the rates are subject to change without notice but with the fee increases coming in spring and not
winter there are groups who have events coming up very soon and have probably already set
their budgets and received player fees. The Interim General Manager suggested the following
three options be reviewed and a decision made on the best way to proceed.

Presentation by National Golf Foundation Regarding Golf Complex Operational Review.
The Interim General Manager introduced Ed Getherall of the National Golf Foundation (NGF),
the consultant firm hired to perform the operational review. Mr. Getherall gave a brief overview
of how the information for the study is compiled. The study has several components; the first
component is the financial analysis, operating history and operating efficiencies, the
management structure and current trends. The second component will look at what capital
improvements should be made with the limited resources. The third component is researching
where the Complex stands in the current marketplace and the local competitors. It was noted
that the market has changes quite a lot over the past 10 years. He noted that rounds and revenue
have dropped while expenses have risen. This trend is not only seen at Chuck Corica Golf
Complex but in municipal golf all across the region and all over the country. He stated that 10
years ago 90% of NGF's work was doing feasibility studies for new golf courses and currently
90% is doing operational reviews for City owned municipal golf courses, Municipal Golf
Courses are facing common issues, the largest being rapidly rising labor expenses and flat or

Secretary Sullwold reported that she and Vice Chair Gaul met with Ed Getherall
of the National Golf Foundation (NGF) on Friday to discuss where the group is
heading with their recommendation. Mr. Getherall stated that preliminarily the
suggestion will be privatization of the Complex. He mentioned that continuing to
run the Complex as a community resource managed through the City of Alameda
is problematic because the Complex is made to act as an enterprise yet are
restricted by the City of Alameda in terms of both rates and pay backs to the
General Fund. He also stated that he has seen pay backs in all other golf
courses owned by municipalities, although none quite as large as the ones paid
by the Chuck Corica Golf Complex. The statement was made that in 1983, when
the City of Alameda privatized the Pro Shop customers were very disappointed
and it did not prosper until control was given back to the City. Mr. Getherall
mentioned that even with operational improvements and efficiencies put in place
it will be very difficult if not impossible to turn the Golf Complex around and make
it a moneymaking operation in this particular market. Mr. Getherall said that he
did not feel that the operation is over staffed although stated that clearly labor
costs will continue to rise. Under privatization labor costs would be reduced by
firing the current work force and filling the positions with non-union employees.
Secretary Sullwold also reported that she and Vice Chair Gaul met with the
Mayor and City Manager yesterday to discuss where the City of Alameda stands

and no one was informed about it, including employees. She stated that it was
unnerving for the employees, the customers, and members of the Golf
Commission to have these consultants touring the entire Complex as if looking to
become the new management company when nothing has been decided by the
City Council. The Interim General Manager stated that the consultants were
looking at the various improvement projects needed at the Complex for purposes
of capital improvements budgeting. He further stated, in response to questions,
that he did not expect to receive written responses from these consultants, and
that this meeting was not held at the direction of the City Manager.

Response from the City Auditor.
Chair Sullwold read a letter from City Auditor Kevin Kearney dated May 20, 2008,
purportedly explaining the accounting procedures concerning the golf cart lease.
The Golf Fund is being charged the entire amount of the four-year lease --
$449,000 -- in this fiscal year. Mr. Kearney did not answer the question of why this
was necessary in his letter. He compared the golf cart lease to a home mortgage,
but, of course, a home owner is not required to put aside the entire amount due to
be paid over the 30-year term of his mortgage during the first year, making the
comparison inappropriate. The Commission intends to ask Mr. Kearney additional
questions.

C.
Response to City Council regarding its discussion of Golf Complex
finances at Council meeting on May 27, 2008.
Chair Sullwold introduced the meeting by giving a report on the events that led up to it.
On May 27, 2008, City Council held a special meeting at which the Chuck Corica Golf Complex
budget for FY 2008/2009 was discussed. No member of the Golf Commission was present
because no one from staff had advised the Commission that the matter would be coming up that
evening. Fortunately, however, the meeting was videotaped and could be viewed the next day
through the City's website, which all commissioners had done before the meeting.
The budget that had been presented by Interim General Manager to the Golf Commission
at its meeting on April 16, 2008, was presented to Council on May 27. In general, the proposed
budget showed that the Golf Complex was anticipated to have a deficit of approximately
$700,000 in the next fiscal year, unless the City agreed to rescind the Surcharge and Return on
Investment (""ROI""), in which case the deficit would be reduced to approximately $440,000.
Council immediately questioned why the City should be required to ""subsidize"" a deficit at
the Golf Complex out of the General Fund by returning the Surcharge and ROI, and no one from
staff pointed out why this was incorrect: that the Complex has actually been subsidizing the
General Fund for a number of years, and can no longer afford to do so. Council asked
repeatedly what the Golf Commission has been doing, what plan it has, and Mr. Lillard told

COMMISSION COMMUNICATIONS
Chair Sullwold reported that she had a lunch meeting with City Council member
Marie Gilmore last Wednesday to discuss the Golf Complex and the financial
problems. Chair Sullwold summarized the meeting by saying that she doesn't
think that she changed Councilmember Gilmore's mind, although she was able to
voice concerns of the Golf Commission. When questions about the Beltline
expense charged to the Golf Complex, Councilmember Gilmore stated that the
Chuck Corica Golf Complex is in a risk management pool with AP&T and one
other City department (possibly Sewer). ""Risk management"" expenses are shared
on a pro rata basis among those in the pool, regardless of where the risk has been
incurred.
Councilmember Gilmore expressed the view that Council is disappointed with the
Golf Commission for failing to recognize the inevitability of going out to bid for a
long-term outside contractor. Chair Sullwold pointed out that the Commission last
fall had reluctantly accepted the need for a contractor if the City was unable to pay

Clarification of Fee Increase Recommendation to City Council
Chair Sullwold passed out another set of spreadsheets, reflecting the fee increase
proposal that was approved in concept at the meeting on June 30. The summary
sheet is attached. This proposal includes 9-hole rates in addition to the 18-hole
rates that were listed on the previous version. The proposed rates were created
based on a strict formula of (1) raising all rates to those applicable to non-
residents playing the Fry course, (2) reducing all individual 18-hole rates for
residents by $2, (3) reducing all individual 9-hole rates for residents by $1,
(4) reducing all monthly rates for residents by $200, and (5) reducing all annual
rates for residents by an additional $200. This process created a few anomalies.
First, the rate for someone playing the Clark course on weekends went from $28
to $38, the only double-digit increase. Commissioner Gammell proposed a cut
to
$35. Second, under the existing rate structure the progression in monthly and

Chair Sullwold reported that she sent an email to City Council member Frank
Matarrese following the City Council meeting of November 6, 2008. She had
addressed her remarks to Council on the staff recommendation that Kemper
Sports take over all aspects of the golf complex management, including the golf
maintenance department. It was apparent, however, that City Council had already
made the decision to accept the ACEA Union proposal to spare the maintenance
department from the interim management proposal. Chair Sullwold was
disappointed that no effort was made by staff to determine what cost savings
would result by the union proposal before accepting it. The salaries in the
maintenance division are the largest expenditure for the golf complex and the
question is whether the City of Alameda will save money without turning over
maintenance to the interim manager. Councilmember Matarrese responded that
he felt the ACEA proposal would help with potential future workforce reductions.
He also stated the interim management period will allow the City of Alameda to
reevaluate whether the Golf Complex can become a self-sustaining enterprise as it
once was, and for the City of Alameda to find a way to reduce the General Fund
take-backs of revenue from the Golf Complex so that capital improvement projects
can be pursued. Secretary Delaney stated that he feels the response was very
encouraging.

Chair Sullwold reported on the previous evening's City Council meeting regarding
alternate recreational uses for the Mif Albright Course. She asked Council to direct
Kemper Sports to compile some figures regarding the costs associated with
reopening and maintaining the property as a nine-hole course. She also asked
Council about rumors concerning a possible exchange of the Mif Albright property
with other property owned by developer Ron Cowan, and learned that the proposal
had been on the City Council agenda for its closed session, but had been taken off
calendar. The proposal from Mr. Cowan allegedly entails exchanging the Mif
Albright Course for Mr. Cowan's Village Six parcel so that Mr. Cowan could build a
new Harbor Bay complex on the Mif Albright land and could construct houses on the
existing Harbor Bay Club land, and the City would have the Village Six parcel to use
for recreational purposes, with Mr. Cowan perhaps agreeing to finance construction
of new athletic fields. Commissioner Gammell noted that the Recreation and Park
Department presented Council with a tentative plan for the 12-acre Mif Albright

Kemper Sports were to receive a long-term management contract for the Chuck
Corica Golf Complex. Although Mr. Lillard told Mr. Vest initially that he should not

Chair Sullwold reported on the City Council meeting on April 7, 2009. Jim Stegall
from Kemper Sports made a presentation regarding (1) what Kemper has
accomplished at the Golf Complex during its first months of management, (2) a
gloomy projection for the golf industry nationwide, and (3) a recommendation that
the Mif Albright course remain closed. The Golf Commission had asked Kemper to
prepare a written report analyzing the economic feasibility of re-opening the Mif, but
City staff directed Kemper not to do so. Accordingly, no such report was presented
to Council. During the public comment period, 22 citizens spoke in favor of re-
opening the Mif course. Particularly compelling was the presentation by the teenage
members of the Alameda High School girls' golf team and their coach, Stephen
Burnett (see item 4A, below).

Chair Sullwold reported on a meeting with Interim General Manager Ann Marie
Gallant attended by herself, Norma Arnerich and Joe VanWinkle. Ms. Gallant said
she had been advised by staff that Ron Cowan has a legal right to build additional
houses on Harbor Bay Isle because he won a lawsuit against the City, and that she
therefore was trying to find him property on which to build because the City does not
want houses on Cowan's Village 6 property. After the meeting, Bob Sullwold
researched the issue and prepared a detailed memo showing that, in fact, the
lawsuit did not establish that Cowan had any legal right to force the City to find him
land on which to build additional homes, only the right to apply to rezone his Village
6 parcel. He applied for re-zoning, but the application was denied by the Planning
Board. Chair Sullwold intended to place this matter on the Golf Commission Agenda
for discussion, but, on the day that the agenda was due to be posted, she received
an email from City Attorney Teresa Highsmith, advising that she had instructed the

Chair Sullwold spoke about a memo she wrote to Interim General Manager Ann
Marie Gallant regarding what has happened historically since she became a
member of the Golf Commission, and her evaluation of the various options available
for a long-term lease of the Golf Complex. She reminded the Commission that Ms.
Gallant was intending to include three scenarios in the Request for Proposals, but
that the Golf Commission would not see the RFP until it was close to final form.
Chair Sullwold also noted that City Council had on its July 7 closed session agenda
item 3-B, Conference with real property negotiators involving the property located at
1855 Northloop Road (the Ron Cowan Village Six parcel) and 1 Clubhouse
Memorial Road (the Mif Albright Course) for purposes of negotiation for price and
terms for an exchange. Jane and Bob both intended to speak before the Council
retired for its closed session, but the City Clerk came out to announce that the
matter had been put over until July 21 because Ms. Gallant had to go out of town
that afternoon due to a family emergency.

4-A Golf Complex Financial Report through July 2009
Financial reports from the City were not provided to the Golf Commission in advance
of the meeting, so the financial report was quite abbreviated. Bob Sullwold stated
that total rounds for July 2009 were 14,251, down from a year ago, but revenue in
July was higher than last month. General Manager John Vest stated that through
the first 26 days of August 2009, there have been 2048 rounds for a total revenue of
$12,377, whereas in 2008 there were 2236 rounds with total revenue of $10,205.

4-A Golf Complex Financial Report through August 2009
Bob Sullwold noted that, for the second month in a row, the City did not provide a
financial statement in advance of the Commission meeting. The data provided by
the Golf Complex showed that the downward trend in play continued in August 2009.
For all three courses, fewer rounds were played in August 2009 than in August
2008. Rounds played on the Fry and Clark in August 2009 also declined compared
to July 2009. The decline in rounds led to a corresponding decline in revenue from

statements, no year-end financials and no detailed budget for the coming year from
the City. Rounds on the Clark course in September 2009 were about 130 more than
September 2008. In general, however, rounds are down this year as compared with
last year, and the downward trend appears to be continuing. Compared to August
2009, September rounds are down on all three courses. On a positive note, the total

for operation of the Mif Albright Course. The impression they received from Ms.
Gallant was that it was unwise for them to push for an agreement to be reached
between the City and AJGA. Ms. Gallant suggested that they wait until after the
election or possibly January 2011. Ms. Gallant indicated that she had asked
Kemper Sports to respond to five scenarios, but could not remember the scenarios
at that time. Chair Sullwold received an email from Mr. Lillard the following day
explaining the five scenarios as follows:

report about what trees should be planted best suited to reclaimed water. And then
there was something about the sloughs, but it was really poorly worded and nobody
could really understand what it was. They imposed an expenditure of $7,800 for this
item for which they were going to charge the Golf Enterprise Fund. Well, I was
pretty outraged about it and I went down and made a fuss, and one of my few
accomplishments as a Golf Commissioner is that I got them to agree to not take it
out of the Golf Enterprise Fund. Instead they are going to take it out of Dale's Rec

of the fact that the Mayor apparently couldn't understand what the offer was from
Wadsworth despite us having said it about 18 times, because it hadn't been
confirmed from her staff, it got off board a little bit, but then eventually the thing
proceeded. And I'm not completely sure of how the final motion will read in the

be done in conjunction with, and in consideration with the negotiations with Kemper

Chair Sullwold: ""I will just state, as I think I did earlier, again Dale Lillard attempted
to disrupt our process for preparing the draft minutes for submission to the
Commission for approval. Again, I was able to convince Lisa Goldman, the Acting
City Manager, that our process was perfectly legal and we should be able to follow it
and she conceded to that. On the other hand, our parking spaces were summarily
removed without any notice, even though they've been in existence, I've been
informed by Lil Arnerich, since the 1950's. In addition, as Bill noted, there is no
representative here from Kemper nor is there anyone here from the City. I sent an
email to Lisa Goldman asking her how we were expected to fulfill the specific duties
that were outlined in the Municipal Code Section setting up the Golf Commission,
which allows the Golf Commission or gave the Golf Commission the power to seek
reports from the General Manager of the Golf Complex. And since, of course, we

Regarding the cancellation of last month's meeting, Chair Sullwold explained that she
called City Attorney Janet Kern as soon as she learned that Commissioner Wood had
a last minute conflict, knowing that Commissioner Gammell was on vacation. Ms.
Kern advised that since the Commission is slated for seven members, even though
two slots remain unfilled, the quorum requirement is four. She also advised that the
meeting could be held in the absence of a quorum only for the purpose of receiving
reports. Chair Sullwold noted that the language in the municipal code (""The votes of a
majority of the entire membership of the Commission shall be necessary to take any
action thereof"") is susceptible of two different interpretations, but the City Attorney has
chosen the one that makes things more difficult for Commissions like ours that have
unfilled positions. Chair Sullwold also stated she had wanted to call a special meeting
prior to the March 6 Council meeting, but had not realized that the new Sunshine

Chair Sullwold reported that when Mayor Gilmore announced her appointments to a
number of different City commissions at last week's City Council meeting, she
deliberately skipped the Golf Commission; she did not give a reason. Ray Gaul is
eligible for one additional full four-year term because he was appointed to fill a slot
after Tony Santare resigned, so his first three years on the Commission do not count
toward the eight-year limit. Jeff Wood is eligible for three years because he is one
year into his second term. Bill Schmitz and Jane Sullwold are eligible for one more
year, as they have both served three years past their first term. Betsy Gammell is not
eligible for reappointment, having served more than two full terms, but will stay on until
someone new is appointed, pursuant to the Municipal Code.

structure built prior to 1942. A two-story residence in the same style was approved by Design
Review (DR04-0003). The site is located within the R-5, General Residence District. (continued
from 9-9-04)
Ms. Altschuler advised the Board that the City Attorney's office contacted the State Historic
Preservation Office for guidance regarding the listing of the property and procedure of
processing the Certificate of Approval. We were advised that it was inappropriate for the
Historical Advisory Board to list the site on the Historical Building Study List, or consider a
Certificate of Approval for demolition because the building was already demolished and no
longer meets any of the criteria for being considered as a historic resource. Thus, rather than
being a historical preservation issue for Historical Advisory Board consideration, the scope of
work permitted under the issued building permit is in question. Staff requests that the Board
remove this item from the agenda.

Study List. The site is located at 433 Taylor Avenue within an R-3, Garden
Residential Zoning District. (DB)
Mr. Dennis Brighton presented the request for the Certificate of Approval for a complete (100%)
demolition. He summarized the staff report and stated that despite being built around 1906, the
house has lost its historical value due to several devastating improvements. Staff recommends
approving the request. This is a continued item from November 2006. The item was continued
due to confusion regarding the amount of demolition.
Board Member Lynch asked if there would be an architect and was wondering about the plans,
specifically one of the drawings and was curious to know if the drawing was the current house
or the new house. She feels the drawing is mislabeled.
Ms. Elizabeth Krase spoke on behalf of the Alameda Architecture Preservation Society (AAPS).
The plans were reviewed in November 2006 by the AAPS and they had no objection to the
demolition as long as the new structure is compatible with the neighborhood. They feel that the

MINUTES:
Board Member Lynch requested that staff review the audiotape for consideration of the
minutes of September at the next meeting. Ms. Eliason noted that the meeting had not
been taped, and because the minutes were produced from her notes, she suggested that
Board Member Lynch provide any further detail that she recalled. She noted that the
corrected minutes were put into the files when the Certified Local Government (CLG)
Annual Report was presented.
Board Member Iverson noted that Dick Rutter had made many interesting points about the
materials for street lights and monuments, as well as their life expectancy and care. She
believed that this was very important, and inquired whether Mr. Rutter could discuss those
matters again since the meeting had not been taped. Ms. Eliason replied that she had
requested that the item be continued to the February 2008 meeting, and suggested that
Mr. Rutter discuss those matters at that time.
Ms. Eliason noted that the issues addressed in February would be considered part of that
meeting. She would add further detail about the monuments.
Board Member Lynch did not believe the minutes of October 4, 2007, could be considered
until the outstanding issues were resolved. The minutes for October 4, 2007 would be
continued to the February 2008 meeting.

Mr. Kevin Frederick, Alameda resident, raised his disapproval regarding the

deconstruction, but that all building materials had been pulverized on site causing
significant dust in the environment.
Ms. Elizabeth Greene, Alameda resident, spoke about the condition of approval
requiring deconstruction and suggested that in the future there be standard
language in the Historic Preservation Ordinance to ensure deconstruction and/or
preservation of building resources.
Chair Owens and board member Lynch asked her to clarify or recommend
enforceable language. Board member Rauk suggested having applicants return
to the board to demonstrate the ""maximum effort feasible' undertaken to preserve
a structure, before a demolition permit is issued.
Ms. Alexandra Mummery, Alameda resident/neighbor, also spoke about the
demolition and stated her dismay about the manner in which the structure was
taken down. She presented a picture taken of the demolition in action.
Board member Lynch requested that the speaker email her the picture.
Ms. Nanette Burdick, neighbor, voiced her shock about the manner in which the
building was demolished and that nobody was allowed to go inside the building to
dismantle items that could be easily taken off, because the property owner stated
that the building was deemed toxic. Given that it was deemed toxic, she was then
further surprised that no containment was in place to address the dust during the
demolition. She also stated that a video about this demolition has been posted on
YouTube.

Bob Haun is very willing to answer questions directly, and is available by phone or
email. Board members indicated that this arrangement is fine for now.
The Library Director reported that on February 28th a Notice to Proceed will be given
to
the contractor. The groundbreaking ceremony will be in early March. The Steering

Main Library Project Update and Ground Breaking
Board member Butter asked about the budget for the Main Library project. She was
concerned about the negative $569,044 shown in the Revenue/Expenditures column. She
also said, and other Board members agreed, that this budget format is difficult to
understand. Library Director Hardie agreed that this budget is not easily understood, and
said she would speak with the Project Manager to see whether the format could be
improved. She also assured the Board that the project is not overspent.
On the subject of reports to the Board, members are disappointed that Mr. Haun is not
reporting directly to them. Library Director Hardie explained that the Library Board is
receiving exactly the same information as the City Council gets each month from Mr.
Haun. She said that this is the reporting format that the City has decided on, and
mentioned that the presentations are broadcast on City cable. Dr. Mitchell asked what
information is contained in the presentations, and Library Director Hardie replied that
Mr. Haun simply reviews the information in the Construction Report, which the Board
also receives. She said that she attends all of the Project Manager's presentations and
would be glad to take notes and report to the Board if anything of significance occurs.",LibraryBoard/2005-02-09.pdf

for this year and payments totaling $100,000 in 2006. The City's agreement with AUSD

controlled by Human Resources and vary from year-to-year. All departments in the City
experienced an arrearage in this account for FY06.

Board Member Butter inquired about inflation of circulation numbers as mentioned in the Library
Director's report. Director Chisaki indicated that she had checked back three years and verified that,
for some unknown reason, her predecessor had been routinely inflating numbers anywhere between
5-7%. When looking at statistics, there has actually been a slight increase in year-to-date numbers.
Chisaki plans to do a little more investigating, and will report back to the Board at a future meeting.

President Butter asked Director Chisaki if she thought the statistics moving forward would be more
stable. Chisaki was fairly certain the numbers will look a lot more consistent now. With the closure
of the Interim Main during October, and the opening of the New Main in November, numbers will
undoubtedly fluctuate, but should re-stabilize towards year-end. The statistics are put together on a
fiscal-year basis, and an annual report was promised by Director Chisaki at a future, possibly
November or December, board meeting.
Board Member Mitchell inquired about a negative number on the Division Expenditure Status
Report in the category of Machinery & Equipment. The IT Department has encumbered some funds
in this category for PC and related acquisitions for the new building. These monies should have
been drawn from the construction fund, so account numbers may have been miscoded. Numbers
will be double-checked by staff, and adjusted as necessary.",LibraryBoard/2006-09-13.pdf

Board Member Mitchell wondered what special program mentioned in the Library Services
Report would have drawn over 5,500 people. Director Chisaki indicated the large number

Director Chisaki replied that the first orientation had been held that afternoon, and the
program itself would start as it usually does in January. The school district had initially
indicated they would not be able to continue the program because they didn't have the
funding, but had since found someone for the orientation sessions.",LibraryBoard/2007-01-10.pdf

President Butter asked if the current budget was overspent, and Director Chisaki replied that
overall the Library was still in good shape. The City Manager had advised Chisaki that she
would not be granting additional monies in this budget cycle, and wanted to see where the
Library ended up at the end of the fiscal year. Adjustments will be made going forward for
next year's budget.
Member Schoenrock asked if storytimes were at a seasonal low. Director Chisaki said that
coming out of the holidays it is always that way, but it will pick up with summer coming.",LibraryBoard/2007-04-11.pdf

month of May 2007.
Director Chisaki was unhappy with the current circulation statistics. Even though the door
count has risen, check-outs remain flat. Chisaki spoke with her supervisors to try and figure
out a way to increase circulation. Eva Volin, Supervising Children's Librarian, is re-
arranging the children's collection, taking biographies and folk and faerie tales out of the
Dewey run and placing them in their own sections. Adult Services is also trying to clean up
the collection to see if that may make a difference.",LibraryBoard/2007-06-13.pdf

Chisaki promised them for the following meeting in September. Butter inquired whether it was
necessary to track usage of the quiet study rooms, and Chisaki responded that it is an interesting
statistic to keep up on. President Krongold asked if the Computer Lab was only open on Friday
afternoons and Director Chisaki indicated this is the current situation. Staff is looking for ways to
have the lab open at other times as well, but there needs to be an attendant at all times it is open.

Vice President Butter inquired whether the annual service statistics had been distributed at the last
meeting, and Director Chisaki confirmed this. Butter asked if there had been an increase in the
budget and Chisaki responded that it had been about 9%, mostly going to maintenance contracts for
the new building, building maintenance expenses and part-time salaries.
Member Belikove asked if it would help if members of the public asked for longer Library hours.

fully behind the idea as well.

President Krongold asked about an item in the September 2007 board minutes regarding whether it is
mandatory for the Friends President to attend Library Board meetings. President Krongold said that
Honora Murphy did attend most Library Board meetings prior to Molly Skeen, but didn't know if it
was required. Recording Secretary Merrick will re-write this part of the minutes and bring it back to
the Board for approval at the December 2007 meeting.
President Krongold asked for an update on the smoke detectors; Director Chisaki said they are in the
air intact ducts. The reason the one in the Teen Room didn't go off when the smoke bomb was thrown
was because it needed new batteries. There are about a half dozen in the ductwork, and Chisaki will
check on whether they are hardwired into the electrical system.",LibraryBoard/2007-11-14.pdf

Board get a look at what the original 2008 budget numbers were before any cuts had been made.
Chisaki will provide this information at the next board meeting.

have been sent around town to different businesses to post, the Library webpage has been updated, and press
releases are being sent out to help advertise the program.

Member Butter mentioned the door count at the Main for September was much higher than in past years.
Director Chisaki explained this was because the door counter had not been working properly at first.
The branch door counts had also risen, and Chisaki said that extensive weeding was done on their
collections, making books much easier to find. Additionally, the Supervising Children's Librarian has
been bringing classes through the branches by their schools to familiarize students with this resource.
Butter also noticed that homebound patrons had declined; Chisaki said they had lost quite a few this
year, but the service is advertised around town at care homes, Mastick Senior Center, etc.
Per a question from Member Butter, Director Chisaki spoke about the state of the budget, what cuts had
already been taken, and what was on the table for the future if there was a request to cut more.",LibraryBoard/2008-11-12.pdf

Vice President Hartigan asked why the telephone account is in the negative on the Expenditure Status
Report. Director Chisaki explained that each department pays a monthly chargeback to IT (the Library's
share is $2,200) for debt still owed on the phone system. Being unaware of this charge, additional
money was not budgeted. Hartigan also asked why there is only $15,000 left for electricity this year.
Chisaki said a large chunk of money is already encumbered on a purchase order for Alameda Power &
Telecom, and the $15,000 is what is left after that, so we are still in very good shape. Chisaki went on to
say that if funds become available, there is already a request in to install solar panels on the Library.

Vice President Hartigan asked Director Chisaki to go into a little more detail about the decreases in the
activity report. Chisaki said there were more open hours in 2008, and in an hour to hour comparison of
checkouts, statistics are actually up. Database searching is down mainly due to internet speed. The main
line coming in is the problem, nothing internal.
Bob Haun is still working on getting LEED certification; he receives periodic progress updates and

Member Butter asked Director Chisaki to talk about the solar panel project planned for the Main Library
with part of the City's federal stimulus money. Out of the $640,600 total package, the solar panel
project would use an estimated $414,000. Once these panels are installed and functioning, the Library
should realize a 12% savings on electric costs from what we currently pay.

Member Butter noted that there is a general decline in doorcounts and internet log-ins. Director Chisaki
had also noticed this, and had made sure the door counter was functioning properly. There doesn't seem
to be an easy explanation for the downturn in these statistics. It was then noted that the children's
circulation count at the Bay Farm Island branch had gone up. Chisaki said that Supervising Children's
Librarian, Eva Volin, had been busily weeding that branch's collection, the circulation increase being
the ultimate result of that effort.
Member Butter then asked about the projected total budget number for the new fiscal year. Director
Chisaki said the latest number stands at about 3.1 million, which is a decrease of approximately
$200,000 from the last fiscal year. Chisaki then went on to explain how the budget categories break out
for the new year. Butter requested that Chisaki put together budget figures for the last 5 years, breaking
out categories of particular interest: contracts, IT, personnel and collections. Chisaki will pull the
numbers together and provide them to the Board at the next meeting.",LibraryBoard/2009-07-08.pdf

After reviewing the Library's budget numbers for the last five years, Vice President Butter asked why
the overall budget was going up instead of down. Director Chisaki explained that some Memorial Fund
monies are being used to supplement the City's funding contribution. The Library also got some extra
money from the City to pay for utilities and services it had not been paying in previous years. Butter
asked Chisaki to provide a revised report with an extra column showing additional expenses, and to have
it broken out by City funds as opposed to the non-sustainable memorial fund monies.
With the Library now being broken out into specific programs, the expenditure report also breaks out
that way and it is very difficult to get the big picture. Finance is working on building a new report to
once again incorporate the information. President Hartigan also pointed out that the Check Register
showing payments made in July (period 1 of FY10) showed the accounting period to be 2/10. The
payments shown, however, were all made in July. Recording Secretary Merrick will check into this.",LibraryBoard/2009-08-20.pdf

President Hartigan asked for a minor wording change to the August minutes on page 2 under Unfinished
Business, item A, paragraph 4 which reads in part "" but would have liked to have been involved in
the
decision
Recording Secretary Merrick will change this to read "" but would have liked to have
seen the NLIP involved in the decision "" - this statement was made in regards to hiring a lighting
consultant for the branch improvement project.
Vice President Butter asked if the issues with the financial reports had been resolved. Director Chisaki
explained that the budget numbers had not been dropped in yet, so the encumbrances/expenditures still
make it look as though the Library is over budget in all accounts. The check register accounting period
issue has been discussed with Finance; this is a ""canned report"" and apparently has always printed out
this way. Finance has put in a trouble ticket with the vendor, SunGard, to see if they have a way to fix
the report so that the selection criteria and accounting period match up.",LibraryBoard/2009-09-09.pdf

President Hartigan asked why there were zero dollars budgeted for General Office Supplies. Director
Chisaki explained that all categories with a zero budget are being supported by money from our
Memorial Fund. Because the City is not providing the dollars from the General Fund, it will always
appear that there are zero dollars available. Hartigan also noted the Electricity expenditures are already
at 91%; that is money encumbered but not yet spent. He also questioned why we have two separate
telephone charges. Chisaki explained that one is actually to pay for telephone usage, and the other is for
the City-wide phone system that all Departments share payment of.
The Library has changed audiobook vendors, so statistics are way down. There are still bugs being
worked out, and new titles are slowly being added to the collection. Circulation is up, but doorcounts
are down; Director Chisaki can find no real reason or explanation for this.

Vice President Butter pointed out that the art review process was not in the Board packet as Director
Chisaki's letter had stated. Chisaki said she had forgotten to include it, and had copies for everyone
which she passed out, along with minutes from the art committee meeting. Audiobook download stats
are still down, but many new books have been added with more to come, so stats should be on the rise.
The West End branch had a huge drop in doorcount, but circulation was actually up.
President Hartigan asked to be reminded about what the cost allocation number means. Director Chisaki
explained that this number represents what we've been charged by other City departments, i.e. Human
Resources time when they recruit for us or Public Works time when they repair something for us. The
Board suggested that Chisaki remove the SunCal status item out of the Director's letter to the Board.

President Hartigan asked for two changes to the November meetings draft minutes under item 4. A. In
relation to the Neighborhood Library Improvement Project, the draft minutes stated the project was
"" now into the construction phase. which should have read "" now into the construction documents
phase Additionally, there was a statement from a Noll & Tam letter regarding how they had based
their soft costs "" on a construction budget of 1.6 million"" which should have read ""on a construction
budget of 2.1 million"". Recording Secretary Merrick will make these changes to the minutes as noted.
President Hartigan asked if the number of open hours were going to be added to the services report as it
would be useful for comparisons. Director Chisaki will make the addition. Vice President Butter noted
the large difference in database search numbers; Chisaki explained these are counted differently now.
Hartigan asked why Internet log-ins were unavailable last year; this was due to the switch-over from
Veicon. Butter noted that adult circulation needs to go up; Chisaki will check with other libraries to see
what their numbers look like. Member Whyte asked what ""New Items"" included; Chisaki explained that
these are books, DVDs, etc. and they are counted when they are all processed and ""shelf-ready"".",LibraryBoard/2009-12-09.pdf

Vice President Butter said she thought the final selection of branch art was going to be passed by the
Board as had been done when art was selected for the Main. Director Chisaki will set up a special board
meeting and bring the artists in to give presentations so the Board can see what has been selected by the
Branch Art Committee and seek the Board's approval to move forward. Member Whyte asked how the
new book dispenser would work. Chisaki described the machine and how it functions, and said that
surveys will be taken to determine the machine's content. The machine will be installed at Alameda
Point by the end of the fiscal year. President Hartigan thanked Chisaki for putting the yearly open hours
on the Library Services Report as they were very valuable when making comparisons.

Vice President Butter noted that the WEB closure didn't have a huge impact on the statistics. Director
Chisaki said that's because a great deal of their patrons are now coming to the Main Library. Butter also
mentioned that Internet stats are down, and Chisaki suspects this is because many people are here with
their laptops using the wireless. President Hartigan asked how many hubs are in the building and if
there is a way to measure bandwidth. Chisaki will check with IT to see if there is a way to compute
daily usage. Butter noted that the audiobook stats remain low. Hartigan was happy to see accounting
periods had been sorted out on the expenditure reports.
President Hartigan asked if there had been any progress with the FTP site set-up. Recording Secretary
Merrick said that an alternative called ""Dropbox"" had just been created, and is very easy to use. Merrick
handed out instructions on accessing the site, and encouraged Board members to check it out. Starting
in July, the current meeting's materials will be loaded on this site; the agenda will go out in the U.S.
Mail to alert Board members that it's time to go out and take a look.

President Hartigan asked why there were no budget dollars in the individual line items; the Finance
Department has not dropped them in yet. Hartigan then asked why the payroll dollars looked so out-of-
whack from one month to the next, almost tripling these expenditures from July to August. Staff will
talk with Finance to see what happened and report back at the next meeting.
Vice President Whyte asked how the book machine was doing. Director Chisaki said it had been having
some issues which the company in Germany fixed, and testing continues. The Library does not yet have
the software that will alert us if the machine is down, but that is coming.
Board Member Atkin proclaimed the End of Summer Reading Ceremony a great success, and thanked

President Hartigan expressed his langst with the poor numbers for audio downloads. Director Chisaki said
that it's a problem with the vendor, and unfortunately, they are the only game in town. There will be some
kind of announcement coming from them in the spring, but Chisaki has no idea what it will be - good or
bad. Another vendor is currently being explored as a possibility, but there's nothing else to be done at the
moment. Hartigan reiterated that this would be a continuing concern of his, but was very happy to see
wireless log-on statistics being reported.

In June the Library Board requested a tour of the Main Library building prior to the July Board meeting
for those wishing to tour the facility. In July the ""meeting"" began shortly before 6:00 p.m. with a tour of
the Main Library building, now almost five years old. President Hartigan inquired about the cracks he
noticed in the glass panel next to the steel garden gate. Director Chisaki responded that the cracks have
been there for a long time and that the only solution is to replace the entire glass panel. Staff is monitoring
the progress of the cracked glass. It is not tempered glass.

asked whether the Expenditure Report in the Board Packet was the last one of the fiscal year or if there

Director Chisaki stated that this Expenditure Report was the second to last in FY2010-11. There are still
invoices to be posted and staff has five more days to turn them in to the Finance Department. The
remaining balance will be much less at the end of period 13. The final Expenditure Report for FY2010-11

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS, AGENDA (Public Comment)
Library Arts Committee Member Kumar Fanse expressed concern with the current practice/arrangement
the Art Committee has with displaying art work in the Regina K. Stafford meeting room and why the
room has to remain closed when no meetings/events are taking place in the room. He cannot understand
why they cannot display art in the room. He indicated he would like to have new arrangements
made
to
allow greater access to the area by the artist and public.
The Library Director responded that she had explained that security of both the art and Library materials
are of concern with the back emergency door being left open, and that she put an end to it. Although the
door is alarmed, people do not pay attention if the alarm sounds.
President Atkin inquired about art, and wondered if art was being displayed currently; to which the
Director responded that art is being displayed in the room. Board Member Wetzork recalled that this was
discussed at a prior meeting and the Board decided security was a great concern and the decision was to
support the Library Director's suggestion at that time. Discussion of available spaces for art display was
made. Board Member Hartigan agreed with Board Member Wetzork, but also expressed that displaying
art at the Library is critical. He suggested this item be placed on the next Board agenda and the Art
Committee provide a proposal for the Board to consider regarding use of the Regina K. Stafford meeting
room for displaying art that addresses the Art Committee's display concerns and the Library's security
concerns. Further, President Atkins suggested Public Works look at the door for different options. The
Director indicated she would get the door fixed and this item would be placed on the next agenda.
Library Art Committee Member Ruth Belikove introduced herself to the Library Board as a former
Library Board Member herself. She expressed appreciation for the opportunity to display art in the",LibraryBoard/2012-03-14.pdf

Board Member Hartigan expressed concern with the downward trends on the Services Reports;
specifically the door count. This item was discussed in detail by the Board, and Direction was given to the
Library Director. Member Lewis suggested audio downloads may be part of the downturn in doorcounts
by substituting an e-book instead of coming in to check out something in person. Member Whyte asked
the question about how to go about identifing the cause of downward trending.
Member Hartigan
commented that the number of hours the Library operates has increased so, that is not a cause. Director
Chisaki said it could be that while there are more operating hours there are fewer programs being offered.
Board Member Wetzork stated that the entire book industry is in turmoil and that affects people. That
both Amazon and Apple are being sued by the government, and it has an effect, the smaller book
businesses are being forced out because they cannot get into the electronics' business because the",LibraryBoard/2012-05-09.pdf

Director Chisaki will be meeting with the Alameda Island Poets this week. There is no impact to the
Library on this project except Chisaki's time. The Library's marketing team had a table on Park Street for
the recent Spring Fair where they passed out surveys. 50 people out of 100 asked completed surveys of
what they would like to see in the Library, and 40 new library cards were given out. There is an Asian
Pacific Islander fair at the Southshore Shopping Center on the weekend and the library will have a table
and surveys there as well. Performance measures are slated for review at the May 20 City Council

numbers came in under budget. As far as activity reports, the numbers are still being worked on.
Adjustments were made to Wi-Fi login counts so when patrons were disconnected and re-logged in they
were only counted once. Now the numbers are smaller, but more accurate. Numbers were also corrected
for self-checkout. The door counter at WEB was looked at, but it has not been determined why the
numbers are so low when programs have increased. The door counter at the back door of the main library",LibraryBoard/2015-07-08.pdf

Director Chisaki informed the Board that the West End Branch door count numbers decreased due to an
issue that has now been resolved. There was an increase in the number of database searches in May due
to the school site visits demonstrating how searches work. Boys and Girls circulation numbers decreased
in April and May, and may have been due to the School Resource Services Liaison leaving. The numbers
are expected to rebound with the new employee, Sarah Burkey, taking over the position. When the ILS
contract was presented to the City Council, there were no issues or questions. The Resolution of Support
was attached and the contract was signed. There have been meetings with the vendor to discuss timeline",LibraryBoard/2016-07-13.pdf

The library served as an unofficial cooling center during the recent heat wave. There have been no
complaints about summer programs, and there hasn't been much of a response from adults on their
satisfaction with Adult Summer Reading. There is a survey on the library's webpage to see which
programs adults are interested in. There is an art docent lecture coming up and they tend to draw large
crowds. The first Little Free Library has been installed in front of Alameda Recreation and Parks",LibraryBoard/2017-09-13.pdf

WORKSHOP ON LIBRARY STRATEGIC PLAN PROJECT
Director Chisaki introduced Ruth Metz, the consultant for the Library's Strategic Plan. Ruth had five
questions for the Board to help sculpt the proposal she is developing for the Board. The Strategic Plan
Committee will advise the Board, which advises the Library Director and City Council. There will be
three committee meetings: September 7, October 5, and November 2. Each meeting will be 2.5 hours,
including hospitality. The Board is invited to all sessions. Ruth will also meet with Library staff to get
their input on the Library's vision, mission and roles and determine whether the Library is resourced to
fulfil the roles. The new Strategic Plan will build upon the previous plan. There should be a draft plan by
the November Committee meeting. Board Member Kearney asked if there statistics to measure if goals
were accomplished. Director Chisaki responded that there are ways to measure and adjustments had been
made to which made goals more manageable. Ruth asked the Board to share their hopes and dreams for
the Library and the community and the Board shared their responses. Board Member McConeghey will
be the Chair of the Committee and Board Member Kearney will be a member of the Committee, and they

Sheila Durkin introduced herself to the board. She is the Chair of Alameda's League of Women Voters
(LWV) of Centennial Committee and asked if the library is planning any events to recognize the centennial
year of the 19th amendment. Director Chisaki responded that the library is planning on doing a display in
March for Women's History Month. In addition, the Adult Services division is looking for a possible

depends on the size, how they are mounted, and if the posters will be damaged if the public touches them.

phases. There have been positive comments on social media about the limited reopening. The

same concern; the issue is not a sunshine issue; the role and limitations of boards and
commissions is spelled out in the Charter; the last sentence which addresses appointed
policy bodies should be deleted.

The Assistant City Attorney gave a brief presentation.
John Klein stated he is embarrassed about needing to be present and thought about
withdrawing the complaint because it seems trivial; however, it is not trivial; through the
whole process, which has been skeletal, the response has not been as it should be; he
submitted five individual records requests directly to the Mayor and each
Councilmember because that is the way he wanted to do it; if the City Attorney wanted
to consolidate the response, it would have been fine; however, the City Attorney's
response on the 11th does not even say who he is responding for; the City Clerk is the
custodian of records; that he did not know why he was getting an email from the City
Attorney; he thought maybe it is on behalf of the Mayor, but did not know; while the
response was timely, it did not include the information the rule requires, which is: when
the documents will be ready, how the documents will be delivered and by whom; said
information is not in the City Attorney's September 11th response; he did not know who
the Attorney was responding for and the required information was not included in the
three day response; the Attorney said he needed clarification; the City Attorney inquired
if they could talk Wednesday; when they did talk Wednesday, the clarification the
Assistant City Attorney needed was the timeframe of the requested documents;
questioned why the City Attorney did not simply ask in the original email; by that time,
the response was getting really late and he was feeling that the City's response was

Acting Chair Foreman outlined the packet documents; inquired how the Commission

The Assistant City Attorney responded the City Council concurred with the changes that
the Commission made with the exception of the items identified in the staff report.
Acting Chair Foreman stated there are four items: 1) use of electronic communication
devices; 2) submitting comments when a policy body member is not present at a
meeting; City staff disagreed with the Commission's recommendations on said two
items; 3) requiring all City Council meetings to be live streamed; and 4) responding to
public records requests.
The Assistant City Attorney stated there is also an item about public comments by
members of policy bodies and opinions of public concern; with respect to the use of
electronic communication devices, staff recommended a rule that the Council thought
would prevent use of any type of device except iPads or laptops when accessing
agenda materials; the Commission felt the provision was too restrictive and thought that
there should be a little more leeway; the City Council agreed; staff has divided the item
into three parts: 1) when a policy body is considering a general legislative matter, the
use of devices would be strongly discouraged, but not prohibited; 2) when the policy
body is considering a quasi-judicial matter, electronic communication devices would be

Chair Dieter made brief introductory comments and provided background information.
In response to Chair Dieter's inquiry, the City Clerk agreed that staff would not provide a
report and would raise questions as the Commission reviews the subcommittees
proposed recommendations.
Commissioner Foreman stated the subcommittee is proposing the current rules be
repealed, and Rosenberg's Rules of Order be adopted along with special rules; inquired
whether or not the subcommittee went through each individual section of the current
rules.
Chair Dieter responded the subcommittee went through all the resolutions and pulled
out all of the existing rules and reworded them, which are the nine special rules; stated
the subcommittee tabled two rules; if Commissioner Foreman found something that the
subcommittee forgot, the Commission can address it.
Commissioner Foreman stated Council's charge was to review and update the rules;
instead, it looks like the Commission is writing its own set of rules without specific
reference to the existing rules; for instance, there are six different items under public
discussion under the old rules; under the supplemental rules, there are a lot less; the
same thing for Council deliberations; he has a problem with the structure; he anticipated
the subcommittee would be going through each of the existing sections.

the subcommittee did not want to duplicate the rule.
Vice Chair Little stated one of the subcommittee tasks was to go through the existing

AGENDA ITEM
Before addressing the agenda item, Chair Little stated that she does not think the
Commission's role as oversight on the Council and City Attorney's actions is appropriately
addressed to the Open Government Commission (OGC); if the City Attorney would like
to address inadequacies that were written into the law and presented at the last meeting,
the issues would be better discussed by the City Council; she would like to propose a
motion to table the conversation until after the City Council has been engaged on how the
City would like to address the oversight and transparency implications of staff's request.
Commissioner Foreman called a point of order on whether or not it is appropriate for the
Commission to consider the matter; stated that he believes it is out of order; the Sunshine
Ordinance states the Commission had to make a decision within 30 days of the filing of
the complaint; the decision was rendered on November 14th; the fact that the City Attorney
has not prepared a written confirmation of that decision does not change the fact that the
decision was made; the decision was made two days before the cannabis ordinance
would have become effective; thus, the ordinance is null and void; there is no basis to
proceed; as a consequence, the only thing left to do is write the written report required by
law which should have been done by November 28th; what needs to be done tonight is to
ask the City Attorney to assist the Commission with writing the opinion which confirms
what has already been done; the matter should be done tonight because he and
Commissioner Dieter will be termed out by tomorrow.
Commissioner Foreman moved approval of dismissing the reconsideration on the basis
that it is out of order and requesting the City Attorney to assist the Commission in writing
an order tonight confirming the November 14th decision.
In response to Commissioner Henneberry's inquiry, Chair Little stated that she would like
to table the issue until the City Council decides about the OGC's authority; she believes
that the Commission's decision made last month was under the purview of the
Commission, but counsel is saying it is not; she believes the City Council needs to make
the decision.

The Assistant City Attorney gave a brief presentation.
In response to Commissioner Tilos' inquiry regarding the hundreds of requests per year,
the Assistant City Attorney stated approximately 30 to 40 come through the City Attorney's
office to determine if records could be disclosed; the other vast number of requests are
handled routinely without the involvement of the City Attorney's office.
Commissioner Tilos inquired how requests are tracked, to which the Assistant City
Attorney responded there is a designated paralegal who tracks the requests manually
and assigns the matter to the respective attorney; stated he did not know why the request
from the complainant was not tracked appropriately.

LoPilato appropriately deals with the issue; urged the Commission to support the
conclusions.

3-A. Minutes of the May 3, 2021 Meeting
Commissioner Chen stated she would like to review the video to see whether she used
the term superheroes as reflected in the minutes as she did not recall saying it.
The City Clerk stated the sentence could just be struck from the minutes.
Commissioner Reid stated that she wanted to make a correction that she had her hand
raised but Vice Chair Shabazz spoke out of turn; it should be noted that Chair Tilos did
call on her and she did not have an opportunity to speak; she also wanted to remind the
Commission of the Rosenberg's Rules of Order and the courtesy of decorum where it is
always best for only one person at a time to have the floor.
Vice Chair Shabazz stated as a point of order the item of discussion is the minutes and
is not the appropriate time for Commissioner Reid's comments.
Commissioner Reid stated it is appropriate because it is best for every speaker to be first
recognized by the Chair before proceeding to speak; it is a relevant point that should be
made and pertains to a particular point in the minutes.
Chair Tilos stated he does not remember the incident and apologized if something was
done out of order; there was some confusion with the phones and raised hands but he

3-A. Review of the Sunshine Ordinance Complaint Form and Procedure
Commissioner LoPilato gave a Power Point presentation.
Commissioner Reid thanked Commissioner LoPilato for the excellent presentation;
suggested the Commission consider an online complaint form process as well; stated the
most streamlined approach is something as simple as possible for the average member
of the community to be able to reach out to file a complaint; another important issue is
what independent outside counsel would look like and who would decide; suggested
considering a provisional approach such as having outside counsel for the next six
months or for specific number of complaints; noted that she has questions regarding what
a prehearing process and an informal complaint process would look like.
Chair Tilos summarized Commissioner Reid's questions and comments.
Commissioner Chen stated reading Commissioner LoPilato's report and seeing the visual
presentation was very helpful; she compared it to having jury instructions, receiving a
neutral presentation of the parameters and being able to decide whether or not a
complaint matches up with the Commission's duties under the Sunshine Ordinance; she
would really value having ""jury"" instructions as the Commission is the jury and not the
judge.
Chair Tilos thanked Commissioner LoPilato for the hard work; stated he is leaning
towards having an impartial and neutral outside attorney guide the Open Government
Commission (OGC), rather than someone from the City Attorney's office.
Commissioner Chen stated she would like to test out having a neutral memo to see if it

3-A. Minutes of the July 19, 2021 and August 2, 2021 Meetings
Commissioner LoPilato proposed changes to the July 19 minutes; stated on Page 12, her
main point was that the percentage allocation for internal OGC structural issues should
be small and not a big chunk of the report; on Page 15, Vice Chair Shabazz talked about
a public ethics commission report and she does not know if the discussion was clear that
the report was from the City of Oakland; on Page 16, she was delineating things that
seemed right for inclusion which got lumped together; she will send brief language
corrections to the Clerk; on Page 19, there is a typo: Sacrament instead of Sacramento;
on Page 23, there should be more context regarding when the Chief Assistant City
Attorney sent an email instead of just stating she gave an overview.
Commissioner Reid stated she made comments at the last meeting and wants to reiterate
that her changes were noted properly.
Commissioner Chen moved approval of the July 19, 2021 minutes as amended.
Commissioner Reid seconded the motion, which carried by the following roll call vote:

3-B. Adopted Proposed Amendments to the Bylaw
Commissioner LoPilato gave a brief presentation.
The Chief Assistant City Attorney stated that she has no further comments as to any legal
aspects of the Bylaws with exception of referencing the blank in Section 4-B.3 regarding
procedures for complaint hearings; she wants to make sure it gets completed if there is a
future motion; at the last meeting, she mentioned that she wanted to verify the revision
regarding the 15-minute public comment time limit; she is comfortable with the insertion.
Commissioner Reid stated that she had a chance to read the correspondence submitted
by Jay Garfinkle; acknowledge the extensive work; recommended taking additional time
to digest it and allow other members of the public an opportunity to comment and take
the ideas into consideration; stated her take-away from his letter are optimizing
transparency and participation; Mr. Garfinkle's suggestions address said values.
Commissioner LoPilato continued her presentation.
Speaker:
Jay Garfinkle, Alameda, stated that he put a lot of effort in reviewing the proposed
revisions; he thinks both the original Bylaws and complaint processes are very lacking;
the public should have every opportunity to participate in the process; what matters now
is the revisions by Commissioner LoPilato and the suggestions he submitted; his offerings
are extensive and are based on many years experience in parliamentary procedure;
urged the Commission to make every effort to optimize enhancing the openness and

Ms. Freeman responded in the affirmative; stated that she probably made a statement;
she has made so many that she cannot remember.
Commissioner LoPilato inquired whether the term ""pre-development agreement"" is
a
technical term.
Mr. Foreman responded in the negative; stated legally, there is no such thing as a pre-
development agreement; a City ordinance states what has to go in to a Development
Agreement (DA); two or three of the terms in the Settlement Agreement (SA) would also
be in a DA.

a violation would be moot if it is cured before the hearing.

or not there was a technical violation that has now been cured versus no violation is a

CONSENT CALENDAR
Robert Follrath asked to pull the consent calendar for discussion on an error he found
under 4-A a. The dollar amount shown on the agenda ($262,255.28) did not match the
dollar amount shown on the December 27, 2004 ""Pension Payroll - Quarter Ending
December 31, 2004"" memo from the Chief Financial Officer. After a brief discussion, it
was determined that the CFO's memo had the correct dollar amount of $264,255.28.
While reviewing the Pension Payroll memo, it was also noticed that under the
December-04 heading, the total figure had an extra digit ($268,1218.91) and should
have been $268,218.91. Amy Ho will correct the ""Pension Payroll - Quarter Ending
December 31, 2004"" memo, ask the CFO to sign off, and then redistribute.

Finance Director Adair brought up a question from the auditors: Do we need to
have a separate annual financial report for the Pension Funds? The Pension
Ordinance does not say we need to have separately audited financial statements
for 1079 and 1082 Pensioners. The Ordinance requires Finance to provide the
Board with a report as we are doing now, but does not ask for a separate annual
financial report. This raises the question, should we continue to have auditors
issue a separate report for these particular Pension plans or can we stop these
reports, which cost the City $10,000. Acting Financial Services Manager Farmer",PensionBoard/2015-04-27.pdf

the light rail line itself would be eliminated.

cars there. He wanted to see the driveway brought back to Code with respect to the project.

with less of a financial impact to the City.

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS:
Ms. Dorothy Reid, Citizens Opposed to SS Target, 2101 Shoreline #276, wished to address
comments made by Elizabeth Humstone, on behalf of the American Planning Association, to the
Senate Committee on Environmental and Public Works. She stated that ""planning was essential to
achieving smart growth. Plans help a community establish a common vision of development, and a
means of realizing that vision.
The plan is the foundation of smart growth agenda, various smart
growth policies from open space acquisition to urban revitalization, are only effectively realized in the
context of a plan.' She noted that the City's retail policy had been developed as a result of four public
forums. She believed that any big box retail in South Shore Center conflicted with those goals. She
commended Doug Garrison in working with her. She believed that Harsch Investments had
extraordinary access to planning staff and elected officials that the average citizen did not have. She
believed that some of Harsch's plans were very good, but also that the homeowners deserved
consideration. She urged the Planning Board to keep the residents' interests in mind.
Mr. Piziali noted that he had been on the Planning Board for eight years, and he had never seen a
developer who had any unusual access to himself or any other Planning Board member. He stated that
not one City staff member had mentioned anything to him, or sent any information, about the Target
Store. He advised that he had no more information on that subject than Ms. Reid did.
In response to an inquiry by President Cunningham regarding the project timeline, Ms. Eliason
advised that a public workshop would be held within the next month, which would be a presentation
by the developer about their proposal before the item is heard.

for an additional 49,650 square feet, and asked when an additional 90,000 square feet for this
building was approved. The current Safeway is only 34,000 square feet, so the additional square
footage is actually 111,000 square feet. She presented pictures that showed the Safeway's building 's
height, which she believed is misrepresented in the architectural drawings presented by the
applicant.' He did not have any objection to entering this additional language into the minutes.

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS:
Ms. Irene Dieter wished to discuss parking in the downtown area, and noted that consultants were
hired by the City to study a parking structure. She recounted the background of that study, and stated
that the Elks Lodge was the first choice for a site, followed by Long's Drugs. After the Long's deal
fell through, the City did not reinvestigate the Elk's site but instead chose to develop a parking
garage, which she did not believe was the best land use in the downtown area. She believed this
garage promoted parking in the garage, seeing the movie and driving away. She would like to
encourage walking through the neighborhood by using smaller parking lots, dispersed through the
City. She believed that shared parking would be economical, and listed several sites. She identified
265 spaces that were not used in the evening hours, and encouraged the City to approach those
companies. She requested that the Planning Board to encourage the City to vacate its Negative
Declaration and reconsider dispersed parking.
Mr. Richard Bangert noted that he was not a critic of the theater project, but would like to obtain
more facts from the City; his concern was growing due to the lack of facts. Midway through the
development process, the theater and garage projects had combined into one project and that he had
not seen any public notice stating they had combined. He believed that contributed to the level of
public controversy.
Ms. Victoria Ashley strongly objected to the theater project, and added that she had degrees in
architecture and psychology. She believed there was a social impact of this project on the
community. She was disappointed with the last several meetings, and that of 70 people, there was an
approximately five-to-one ratio of speakers opposed to the project. She believed their opinions had
been ignored.

Board member Kohlstrand advised that page 5, paragraph 1, should clarify her point with respect to

parking use on that facility would allow more efficient use of the parking.

that she advocated that there were issues associated with it such as liability, safety and lighting.'
Board member Kohlstrand advised that page 7, paragraph 3, should be changed to read: ""She stated
she was in a quandary because ofthe code requirements were too high for this particular use, and she
felt that is where the Board should be focusing.""

when she voted No on this particular project, that the record should indicate she was against it
because she supported the Variance that the applicant had requested.

Member Kohlstrand believed the statement on page 4, second to last paragraph, which read,
""Member Kohlstrand noted that the 75% recycling rate of construction materials was impressive""
was made by another member rather than her. Member Ezzy Ashcraft believed that she made that
statement.
Vice President Cook noted that page 9, paragraph 4, should be changed to read, ""She would like
grass instead of some of the shrubs in other landscaped areas.
""
Vice President Cook noted that on page 11, four conditions of approval were listed, and she wished
to ensure that the sidewalk width was not obstructed or narrowed by the wells for street trees or by
the bus stops, so that the pedestrian ways are a clear five feet. Ms. Woodbury suggested, ""facilitate
pedestrian access without obstruction."" Vice President Cook agreed with that additional language.
Vice President Cook noted that page 13, she had commented that there should be a stop sign at the
corner, and she would like to leave that to the discretion of Public Works. She would like the
language changed to indicate that she believed there ""probably should be a stop sign at that corner.""
M/S Cunningham/Ezzy Ashcraft and unanimous to approve the minutes for the meeting of October

and Webster Streets had their own unique shelter designs, and how flexibility in terms of materials
would be necessary.' She noted that the main point she tried to convey was that aside from unique
shelter designs on Park and Webster, that there should be a consistent design treatment throughout
the rest of the city. She believed Member Ezzy Ashcraft also made that comment.
Member Ezzy Ashcraft concurred with Member Kohlstrand's statement.

tree wells, benches and bus shelters, and other items did not encroach on the sidewalk that was meant
to be walked on.""
Vice President Cook noted that page 7, paragraph 4, should be changed to read, ""Vice President
Cook agreed with much of Member Kohlstrand's comments, but also and understood the need for
this project to have a specific front function. She challenged the applicant to treat the waterfront
differently with future projects and attract future tenants that do not require parking in front of the
buildings, and that can conform to the design challenge.""
Vice President Cook noted that page 8, paragraph 3, should be changed to read, ""Vice President
Cook noted that the minutes did not discussed concerns raised about the status of the conditions of
the 2003 PDA.""
Vice President Cook noted that page 9, paragraph 1, should be changed to read, ""She believed the real
issue was how much square footage could be supported on this site without sacrificing the pedestrian
bicycle access, d number of trees, landscaping and other amenities -the Board desired. She believed that
the developers did not get approval for most of the center in the 2003 much of what they wanted from the
PDA, and noted that because the Board wanted the evelopers to improve the project 's the Board'sdesire
for waterfront orientation. would force the developers to return and show increased waterfront orientation.
She noted that the developers did not appeal the 2003 Planning Board decision that direction to the City
Council, and returned with the project. She believed that at this point, the Board was being asked to
approve buildings on a piecemeal basis without regard for the overall site and water orientation of the
project. design, with some buildings having been approved, and some buildings that have been all but
demolished except for their shells.-Sh believed the intent of the Planning Board had been extremely clear,
and she was concerned that their intent had not been carried out forward.

ORAL COMMUNICATION:
Dorothy Reid proposed posting the Planning Board agenda two weeks prior to meetings. She also
requested more communication with Board members through email. She felt the amount and/or
importance of items in any given meeting should be more evenly divided to avoid long meetings and
pressure to decide on important issues. She stated staff should be able to gather information from all
interested parties without having to weigh validity of information. She felt staff should be neutral in
their decisions and not make recommendations on one side of projects going to the Planning Board.
She felt staff should serve the public.
Helen Sause expressed interest in an informational forum on Measure A at the Board's earliest
convenience. She also expressed concern over Alameda Point.
Diane Lichtenstein, HOMES, Inc. echoed Ms. Sause's interest on the forum regarding Measure A.
She noted that HOMES Inc. is in favor of modifying Measure A for Alameda Point.
Cathy Woodbury discussed roles and responsibilities for Planning Board members, staff, and others
involved.
In response to an inquiry by Board member Ezzy Ashcraft on why the meeting had to end at 9:00
p.m., Ms. Woodbury noted that staff would research that information and bring the findings back to
the Board.
Board member Mariani followed up on Ms. Reid's comments where it appears the City is advocating
and not taking all comments into consideration with respect to projects. She inquired why city staff
could not be designated to assist groups who may be opposed to projects as well. Ms. Woodbury
noted staff does not represent developers but presents an analysis in conjunction with the City's
codes, rules and regulations.
Board member McNamara noted that one of the roles of the Board is to communicate with staff and
make sure there is an open line of communication; she expressed concern with the communication
significant breakdown between staff and the Board. She encouraged staff and the Planning Board to

Manager Andrew Thomas, Assistant City Attorney Donna Mooney, Supervising Planner
Douglas Garrison, Planner I Simone Walter.
President Lynch invited comments from the Board regarding the tour at Alameda Town
Centre.
Member McNamara excused herself from this discussion.
Member Ezzy Ashcraft thanked Harsch Investments, Target and the Safeway gas station
for participating in the public dialogue. She had heard concerns about shopping cart
controls within the center and off premises. She noted that Walgreen's had installed
security strips that lock the cart wheels if they were to be taken off the lot. The applicants
indicated those strips could be installed at Safeway. She believed that more cart bays
should be installed within the parking lot.
Member Kohlstrand wished to thank Harsch Development Corporation and the
representatives from the other developments that coordinated the tour. She believed it
was very useful, and wished to reiterate the comments about the work involved in
resolving the circulation issues at the site, particularly those related to bike and pedestrian
access. She believed there should be more focus on trucks at this time. She acknowledged
that there would be challenges, and she looked forward to seeing some resolution on
those items. She believed a sidewalk on the east-west roadway was important. She
believed the Safeway Gas design would create conflicts in including the sidewalks, and
hoped that would be kept in mind. She would like to see more focus on the area by the
waterfront.
Vice President Cook was sorry that they did not get to the waterfront, and did not believe
the water orientation of this project had been properly addressed. She expressed concern
about the improvements taking place to the east of McDonald's. She believed that the

MINUTES:
Minutes for the meeting of March 26, 2007.
Vice President Cook noted that page 3, paragraph 1, should be changed to reflect that
while she thought the improvements in Venice, California, were terrific, they were not
necessarily appropriate for Alameda.
Vice President Cook noted that further down on page 3 should reflect that she was
concerned that the four standalone restaurants along the shore were the same scale and
type of restaurant use, and she would prefer to see a mix of size and style of restaurants
so people could bring takeout food to the shore.
Vice President Cook noted that with respect to residential parking on page 8, she wished
to clarify that she did not think it was a unique request and that similar requests would be
made in the future, and that a variance was not appropriate.
Vice President Cook noted that with the Measure A discussion on page 16, she wanted to
know what the constraints on the discussion would be. She wanted to know what the
legal constraints would be on the Board's ability to talk about Measure A on a forum. She
did not intend that to address any legal constraints on the public's discussion of Measure
A.
Vice President Cook noted that the language at the top of page 17 read, ""Vice President
Cook strongly believed that the discussion should take place in a developer-free zone.""
She noted that she intended to say that the discussion should take place before a
developer was selected for Alameda Point.
Board member Cunningham moved approval of the minutes as amended.

vote - 7.

Member Ezzy Ashcraft noted that page 4, paragraph 2, read, ""He did not believe the east-
west roadway was necessary when the north-south roadways were already available She
did not believe that was the substance of Mr. Krueger's comments, because it contradicted
his previous sentence.
Member Ezzy Ashcraft noted that page 4, paragraph 7, read, ""In response to an inquiry by
Board member McNamara regarding Ms. Reid's suggestion of split sidewalks, Mr. Corbitt
replied that they had examined that possibility. He noted that there were 23 driveways ""
She noted that the previous references on page 3 refer to there being 13 driveways, and
inquired whether that was a typo. Mr. Thomas noted that he was referring to putting the
sidewalk on the south side of that road, where there were 23 parking aisles.
Member Ezzy Ashcraft noted that page 5, the last sentence of paragraph 3, read, ""Once the
road is placed on that parcel, a bike-pedestrian path would be placed there, and the area
would be added to the beachfront area for buildings and parking."" She noted that her notes
did not reflect that information, and was concerned about whether it would be temporary.
She would like the record to reflect that Mike Corbitt stated it was a temporary parking lot,
and that it was not to be a beachfront area for buildings and parking because that was not the
idea of enlivening the waterfront with parking lots.

up at Lincoln at that point.""

could return with just the revised site plan. Staff believed the Board would need a full set

Minutes for the meeting of June 25, 2007.
Board member Cunningham noted that page 7, paragraph 4, should be changed to read,
""Board member Cunningham noted that the activation of the Fifth Street and both sides of
the waterfront-had been executed very well. He noted that on the public parking side, the
main service corridor included trash receptacles and questioned the option to increase
total GLA to include retail frontage onto the parking lot.""
Board member Cunningham noted that page 7, paragraph 7, should be changed to read,
""Board member Cunningham reflected on past experience of the Bridgeside Center, and
did not believe that the goals of the Bridgeside Center were able to be achieved in terms
of the tenant spaces.""
Board member Cunningham noted that page 11, paragraph 5, read, ""Board member
Cunningham believed the wood trusses were a good idea, and suggested burying them
halfway into the ground to allow them to stand up."" He noted that he had tried to
reference the point that the Board should look at how they worked structurally, so they
could stand up without having to bury them halfway into the ground.
Vice President Cook noted that page 10, paragraph 2, should be changed to read, ""Vice
President Cook would like the public right of way to include ise-the sidewalks.
""
Board member Kohlstrand noted that page 12, paragraph 4, read, ""A discussion of the
site circulation, paseos and the gateway entrance ensued."" She believed that lengthy
discussion addressed the establishment of public streets in this development, as opposed
to just having driveways. She requested that the minutes reflect the discussion addressing
public versus private streets, as well as the tradeoffs between parking and establishing
public roads with sidewalks on both sides. She also believed that the Planning Board had
specifically asked for the developer to return with one to three options for the sidewalks.
She believed that one option was examining a full public street on the north-south
roadway, and that another one was redoing it slightly and establishing sidewalks on both
sides.

Minutes for the meeting of July 9, 2007.
Member Ezzy Ashcraft noted that page 7, paragraph 4, should read, ""Board member
Cunningham noted that he did not want to see the uses in Alameda intensified so much
that traffic would come to a stop."" She noted that while Board member Cunningham was
not present, but she would like to clarify that statement.
Member Ezzy Ashcraft noted that the second to last paragraph on page 9 should be changed
to read, ""Board member Ezzy Ashcraft noted that she had visited the gaming store and met
the owner, and that it was very attractive inside. She recommended that when discussing
how the Bridgeside Center could be made nicer, the Board should emphasize that it is not
criticizing the hard-working individual business owners.
Vice President Kohlstrand noted that the last paragraph of page 8 addressed the resolution of
adoption for the gas station, and read that the Planning Board had approved a total of 18
pumping stations, and that the applicant proposed 24-hour operations and the sale of beer
and wine. She believed the resolution should read 12 pumping stations; she understood that
the request for the sale of beer and wine had been withdrawn. She requested that staff ensure
that all of the conditions were correct.
Board member Mariani noted that page 7 stated that she agreed with Vice President Cook's
comments. She would like to elaborate specifically that her objection dealt with the non-
peak hours, which include times when children are just getting out of school, walking
around, or riding bikes; parents were driving children to Towne Centre for after-school
activities during those times. She wished to state that the gas station was in close proximity
to the hospital and many convalescent homes with patients walking around the area. She felt
this was a major safety concern.
