The\npresentation focused on transition planning and preparation for the development of Alameda\nPoint. The information presented expresses the existing conditions in the current ARRA\nbudget and also the implications of some of the decisions that have been made during current\nnegotiations. Ms. Little discussed two options to consider: 1) how to transition in the event\nthat the developer (APCP) elects to proceed with the development of Alameda Point and, 2)\nhow to transition if APCP chooses NOT to proceed.\nMs. Little discussed the first scenarios (APCP proceeding), including the Alameda Point\nBond, and that the activities that are currently being paid from it would transfer as direct cost\nto the developer; approximately 18 months. Other responsibilities would also shift to the\ndeveloper, leasing and property maintenance activities, other financials responsibilities like\nproject related tax increments, and current debt obligation.\nThe second option was discussed (APCP electing not to proceed). Ms Little noted that this\nissue is a \"structural deficiency\" in the ARRA Budget. She stated that there are expenditures\nthat are greater than the revenues at this point. She explained that if the developer doesn't\nelect to proceed, the key issues moving forward are: the Alameda Point Bond will be\n1", "path": "AlamedaReuseandRedevelopmentAuthority/2005-04-19.pdf"}

Also included in the presentation was the current\nARRA staff load on the existing ARRA budget.\nMs. Little continued to discuss some challenges to the ARRA budget. She explained that by\n2006 and 7 we will have spent down our fund balance and, by 2008, we won't have enough\nto balance our budget. She discussed how a large part of the ARRA budget is contributed to\nmunicipal services -- about 1/2 of what we take in annually, $10M in revenue. She stated that\nthe presentation is intended to start the conversation about the need to either increase\ngeneral fund revenue opportunities to tackle some of the costs, or decrease the general fund\nexpenditures out at Alameda Point because we don't have the resources to continue to\nsupport them.\nMs. Little discussed the current pro forma and its assumptions regarding new public\nrevenues, primarily in property tax pass thru, the sales taxes, property transfer taxes, etc.\nwith the sale of the homes (new development) = revenues coming into the general fund.\nShe concluded the presentation, summarizing that staff is preparing for APCP to move\nforward in the next two months and that we will need to transition quickly negotiate a\ndisposition and development agreement at 18 months and move into an implementation\nmode; subsequently, if APCP does not move forward, there are implications regarding\ndealing with long term costs over time. Ms. Little mentioned a subsequent \"phase 2\" ARRA\nBudget workshop.\nCouncilmember de Haan expressed concern with the Navy's inability to fulfill the\ncommitment to the 18 mos. transition period. Stephen Proud addressed his concern by\nexplaining that we are trying to expedite the time line as much as possible, to the extent that\nthe Navy would be able to make the property available to us sooner. He discussed various\nissues on the timeline that we (ARRA) have to accomplish, specifically the environmental\nreview process.\nBoardmembers and staff discussed general leasing issues/opportunities at Alameda Point,\nwith Chair Johnson mentioning activities to attract film productions.\nMember Matarrese expressed concern about the \"structural problem\" of the ARRA Budget,\nstating that perhaps we' ve set the system up for failure - and that we may be providing\nservices that we simply cannot afford given our leasing capability. Leslie Little addressed\nhis concern by explaining that once there is a DDA, the actual costs that are being born by\nthe budget now, would have to be reduced significantly, specifically the municipal services.\nMember Gilmore asked about insurance expenses. Leslie Little explained that the tenants\nthemselves carry liability insurance as part of their lease requirement.\nMember Daysog initiated discussion about the proposed mitigation where the general fund\nreduces dependency on the ARRA and absorbs 1.8million dollars in expenses. The\nmunicipal services funding resources was discussed.\n2", "path": "AlamedaReuseandRedevelopmentAuthority/2005-04-19.pdf"}

Bill Norton\nreplied that staff provided the ARRA Board with this detail to see the impact of the changes\non the general fund.\n3-B.\nRecommendation to Authorize the Executive Director to Direct P.M. Realty, Acting as\nProperty Manager, to Enter Into a Contract with Courtney Giampolini to Waterproof\nCity Hall West (Building One) in an Amount not to Exceed $966,650\nNanette Banks provided photos of the extensive water damage in various locations of\nBuilding 1(City Hall West). Building 1, like other buildings at Alameda Point, have\nproblems that require a lot of work, specifically asbestos remediation, lead paint and\nwaterproofing, roof and other capital upgrades. Ms. Banks introduced Rick Jones,\nconstruction manager from PM Realty Group.\nAfter Mr. Jones explained the problems with the buildings, he and Chair Johnson had\nconversation about the contractor bidding process and if this process was approved by the\nARRA. Ms. Banks explained that in an exhibit to the property management agreement with\nPM Realty, PM Realty is allowed to use their own process for selecting contractors for us.\nMember deHaan, as well as the other boardmembers, expressed concern about the almost\n$1M.cost for the building repair. Member Gilmore questioned the long-term \"guarantees\" to\nthis costly solution. She wanted reassurance that the same problems don't resurface in a\nyear, after spending $1M. Mr. Jones explained that there is a 10 yr warranty, which is pretty\nstandard in the industry.\nStaff and boardmembers discussed other options for housing City Staff. Bill Norton\nexplained that there is no other space available for city staff to move into. There was also\nfurther discussion about window replacements. Mr. Jones stated that 40 windows would be\nreplaced, and the other 200 are aluminum.\nMember Daysog stated that the ARRA is in a fiscal crises and as such non-life threatening\nprojects, like waterproofing, I believe need to be delayed especially if the professional\nopinion is that delay doesn't result in significant cost increases to the project.\nChair Johnson agreed with Member Daysog but stated that (Building 1) is a workplace for\nour workers and we can't have our city employees working in those conditions. She also\nrequested a briefing for discussion of the ARRA board the bidding process and requirements.\nThe Board approved the staff recommendation.\nStaff recommendation accepted and passed by the following voice vote: Ayes-4; Noes-1\n(Daysog); Abstentions-0\n3", "path": "AlamedaReuseandRedevelopmentAuthority/2005-04-19.pdf"}
