He would like to be involved in the process.\nSpeaker - Dorothy Freeman, of the Jean Sweeney Open Space Committee (JSOSC), is very\ninterested in being involved with this project and being part of the process. She provided a\nbrief on how dedicated Ms. Sweeney was to acquiring the land and keeping it open space.\nSpeaker - Helena Lengel, Biology Department of the College of Alameda, stated she also\nworked with the JSOSC on the ballot measure to acquire the property. She would like to stay\ninvolved with the development of the land. She would like to see the students of the College be\ninvolved from a scientific study standpoint and learning environment, such as sample testing\nand measurements.\nSpeaker - Jim Sweeney, husband of Jean Sweeney, delighted this project coming to fruition.\nJean never gave up on this, which started in 1998 at a meeting at Mastick Senior Center. The\nresult was that everyone wanted open space for walking, and bike paths and she was able to\nget 1,000 signatures and the initiative passed. Jean was lucky enough to find the original\ncontact for the buy-back and she was there every step of the way.\n4.\nWRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS\nNone\n5.\nNEW BUSINESS\nA.\nBeltline Property - Staff Wooldridge provided a map handout of the Beltline project\n[Attachment A] and the land to be developed, which has become part of the City of\nAlameda, although Union Pacific still owns a section along the southern portion.

Commission will\nlead the process with Wooldridge. Staff suggested the following potential process:\nInitial community meetings in January or February with outreach including\nmailing to residents, press releases, posting on web and email, flyers onsite\nand contacting potentially interested user groups. This initial community\nbrainstorm process would help determine the uses at the Beltline.\nThe second step Council approval of a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a\nconceptual landscape design, paid by the City's available dedicated Open\nSpace Funds.\nThe next step would be additional community meetings to review the\nconceptual design.\nOnce the conceptual design and cost estimate are complete, then Staff can apply for\nState Funds such as the Land and Water Conservation Fund and Prop 84. The LWCF\napplications are due by Nov. 1, 2013 so that goal is to complete the process prior to\nthat. Both of these funding sources are geared toward open space, which could include\nactive elements such as community gardens, bike and walking trails, playgrounds, etc.\nIt\ndoes not include funding for athletic facilities such as a swim center or fields. These\nare harder to fund and would require other funding sources.\nVice Chair Delaney - Are there limitations to lean one way or the other?\nDirector Wooldridge - The only limitation is the Rail Banking Agreement which requires\nthat the 30'-40' area along the length of the Beltline remain available, but there is\nnothing specific as to where that path is to be. Funding sources are also a factor.\nMember Brown - Due to the amount of time Ms. Jean Sweeney dedicated to this project\nwe should be conscious about taking our time with the process and getting it right. By\nlooking at the map it looks like a smaller amount of property than the full Beltline.\nMember Cooke - When will the project be accepting proposals and will those proposals\nbe for mixed-use, a combo of uses?\nWooldridge - The community can provide input at the meetings. As we move forward\nwith input, we will have a better idea on timelines. This group should think about mixed-\nuse, an active recreation, parking issues (i.e., open space requires less parking), and\nfunding.\nDirector Wooldridge - Asked for feedback on community meeting.\nMember Brown - January is a good idea, after the holiday, and location should be\ndiscussed, along with whether to have meeting on a Saturday or week day.\nVice Chair Delaney - Evening meetings are good, weekends could work for some\npeople who travel for work. It would be best to have community leaders, membership\ngroups to provide outreach.\nMember Cooke - Many in the community have little knowledge of this Beltline area.", "path": "RecreationandParkCommission/2012-10-11.pdf"}
