The Deputy City Manager\n-\nDevelopment Services responded that the location was very specific: 20 - 25 minutes from\nblackberry gate; and that the biggest competitor is LBL's own property at Richmond Gild\nStation, 90 acres along the waterfront. The cities of Berkeley and Emeryville are also included.\nMember deHaan inquired if LBL is looking for land site or adaptive reuse. The Deputy City\nManager - Development Services explained that since LBL needs state of the art R&D facilities,\nthey want to find new construction.

The Deputy City\nManager - Development Services replied that it has been a cooperative effort - specific\ncommunity members are involved in the maritime and sailing world and have the connections\nthat staff doesn't. There are shared ideas and support. The City and staff lends credibility as a\ngovernment entity to their interests.\nThe Acting City Manager discussed the website which was developed by a community member\nwho is connected to the sailing world and is leading the charge, working with the City for bigger\nmobilization in support of America's Cup #34. The business community wants to get involved,\nand a partnership of residents, business and the city could help bring some aspect of the event\nto Alameda.\nMember Bonta commented on the amazing efforts from the community, recognizing Jack\nBoeger and Bob Naber.
