AlamedaReuseandRedevelopmentAuthority | 2008-06-04 | 2 | Member Matarrese requested that staff provide more detailed information under 'budget consideration /fiscal impact', i.e., how much did we spend, did we exceed budget, etc. Ms. Potter explained that all the activities undertaken by staff and consultants to prepare the legislation is an eligible reimbursement activity pursuant to the ENA with SunCal, that all costs are borne by SunCal. Member Matarrese would like to see these details in the staff report. He also asked about the activities SunCal is currently undertaking. Ms. Potter discussed that SunCal is particularly focused on examining sea level rise on Alameda Landing and Alameda Point, fill and geotechnical grading, updating the infrastructure numbers and hoping to have an updated proforma in 2-4 weeks that reflect those numbers. SunCal is also working on scheduling community meetings at the end of July or beginning of August, and on Sept. 19, their Development Concept is due. Member deHaan was hoping for more detail or progress report on each of the myriad activities that SunCal is doing. Ms. Potter explained that staff heard the desire expressed by the Board last month for a detailed progress report. She stated that SunCal will be back next month with a detailed update the Board is looking for. Member deHaan clarified the purpose of the options of the legislation and Ms. Potter affirmed his clarification. Vice Chair Tam asked for clarification on the consent calendar item just approved regarding increasing Marc Associates' budget. Ms. Potter confirmed that Marc Associates is the firm that worked with staff and the Navy on this legislation, and that their entire effort is covered under the contract amount of $120,000. In an effort to understand our coalition partners and how we are stacked in the bill, Vice Chair Tam commented that the Alameda Point legislation Section 2851 is a small piece. Ms. Potter explained that the entire bill is approximately 1000 pages long and Alameda Point is sandwiched between a number of other bases (all branches, not just the Navy - including Army, Air Force, etc.) across the country that also have special legislation. David Brandt, Deputy Executive Director further explained that, in Washington DC, there are two acts: the Annual Defense Authorization Bill and the Annual Appropriations Bill, and there cannot be an Appropriation for any activity without first having Authorization. He stated that Marc Associates also works with the City and County of San Francisco and the League of Cities. Chair Johnson commented on how effective Marc Associates has been on this defense legislation. 4. ORAL REPORTS 4-A. Oral report from Member Matarrese, Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) representative.
