The request was also made to have the reformatted fee change\nschedule included in the City Council staff report for the March 20, 2007 meeting.

Commissioner Schmitz seconded the motion and the Golf Commission\napproved unanimously.\n3-B\nReview of BMS Report.\nChair Wood reported that BMS, an architectural landscaping firm, was contacted in October\n2006 to do a study when the Golf Commission was looking at erecting a temporary structure to\nserve as a banquet facility. The purpose of the report was to get an idea of additional cost\nassociated with putting up a temporary structure. The scope of work got expanded to look at not\nonly the area around the existing clubhouse and the proposed new banquet facility but also\nsecondarily to look at the entryway at the corner of Island Drive and Clubhouse Memorial Road\nas a separate zone and then as another zone the driveway (Clubhouse Memorial Road) to a\nportion of the parking lot. The thought at the time that the proposal was requested was that it\nwould include costs for utilities and infrastructure, which it does not. Secretary Sullwold\nexpressed her frustration with the fact that the proposal cost upwards of $20,000 and is\nlandscaping for concepts that have not been decided on and may never be completed. The\nproblem seems to be that the Development Services Department runs the project and by the time\nthe Golf Commission gets the information or the proposals the work has already been done\n3-C\nDiscuss Dahlin's Proposal for Master Planning & Conceptual Design.\nChuck Corica Golf Complex\nPage 1\n2/28/07\nGolf Commission Minutes", "path": "GolfCommission/2007-03-08.pdf"}

Mr. Biggs explained that the contract SunCal\nrequired APC sign has a no-lawsuit clause and that APC would have to go through mediation.\nChair Johnson inquired whether APC has demanded mediation pursuant to its contract, to\nwhich Mr. Biggs responded in the negative.

The number of changes needed to the existing plans made them\nimpractical. The General Manager welcomed Dorene Soto from the Development\nServices Department. Ms. Soto reported that the cost estimates came in at $7.5\nmillion. The problem with the Poplar Creek plan is that they didn't really fit the\nsite and the changes needed are so extensive that you might as well start from\nscratch. Ms. Soto asked the Dahlin Group what could be done to bring the cost\ndown and they suggested only building the banquet facility now and phase the\nother areas of the project. The question was raised regarding the difference from\nthe original cost estimate of $6.5 million. The original estimates did not include\nthe furniture, fixtures and soft costs.

A PRESENTATION BY YIU-KEI LOUIE - ALAMEDA PUBLIC WORKS\nDEPARTMENT ON THE CITY OF ALAMEDA'S PARATRANSIT PROGRAM AND\nUPCOMING PARATRANSIT SHUTTLE SERVICE - Action-20 minutes\nMr. Louie explained that the City's Paratransit program is funded by the Sales Tax passed by Measure B.\nAlameda County receives the funds from the State and distributes them to fund city programs. Alameda\nuses its funds to provide transportation programs for seniors and disabled residents. (Mr. Louie passed\nout a pamphlet describing the programs). The programs now in place include a taxi service that provides\nreturn trips from medical appointments. Most participants use East Bay Paratransit to provide their trip to\nthe appointment, but these need to be scheduled in advance. Because it's hard to determine exactly how\nlong the visit will be, the taxi service allows them to receive a ride home shortly after the visit is finished.\nThe other major taxi program is the Premium Taxi Service which allows eligible participants to purchase\n$5.00 taxi script for $2.50. A Supplementary Paratransit Program complements the East Bay Paratransit\n(EBP) Program by providing service during hours when EBT is not operating.\nMr. Louie then explained the new Paratransit Shuttle Service, which will begin on April 6th, is like A.C.\nTransit service, with a route that makes regularly scheduled stops at designated locations throughout\nAlameda. This program will also serve Alameda seniors (62+) and disabled residents. (He passed\nschedules out for the new program) Stops include Mastick Senior Center, Alameda Hospital, Kaiser, and\nTowne Center. While some residents wanted the route to include Oakland, they are keeping it in Alameda\nfor now.\nIn response to questions from the Board, Mr. Louie informed us that:\nMastick, Cardinal Point, and Anne Diment were some of the locations they conducted meetings to help\ndetermine the best routes for the program. They also took into account the recent A.C. Transit route\nchanges. The service will be available Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 10 to 4, making 1hour\nloops. The vehicle they are using can accommodate 16 passengers, but larger vehicles can be brought in if\nrider-ship demonstrates a need for them.\nNine companies responded to the RFP and the carrier chosen was also recommended by San Leandro,\nwho is using their services. They will use rider feed-back and input from Jackie Krause at Mastick to\nmeasure the success of the program. Press releases, flyers, and banners will be used to advertise the\nprogram, and there will be a kick off celebration at Mastick at 9:30 on April 6th.\nPresident Wasko thanked Mr. Louie for his presentation, adding that this will be a great benefit for\nseniors that have difficulty getting around.\n3-B.\nPRESENTATION BY PRESIDENT WASKO REGARDING 100 BEST COMMUNITIES", "path": "SocialServiceHumanRelationsBoard/2010-03-25.pdf"}

Concept is\nUniversal Design Unit is one that could be adapted to accommodate persons with disabilities.\nBedroom, Kitchen, Living Area, Bathroom on first floor, has elements that accommodate range of\nphysical disabilities.\nPercentage of new units that this would apply to is under discussion. What does the building code\nrequire now? Chapter 11-A of Uniform Building Code should be referenced, which is well known\nby City inspectors and planners. City adopts building code changes every year, and any changes\nto that chapter at the state level would be adopted each year.\nAdd these items to conditions of approval. Then it is on City to make sure building code is adhered\nto, rather than adopting new language that is only specific to Alameda.\nPercentage: 15% seems too low - what is the right number? What do we tie the percentage to? We\nwant to write something that is easily adaptable. Keep it simple. Unit should be accessible to enter,\n4 primary living spaces without stairs.
