ROLL CALL Present: Boardmember Lena Tam Boardmember Frank Matarrese Boardmember Marie Gilmore Vice Chair Doug deHaan Absent: Chair Beverly Johnson (arrived at 8:40 p.m.) 2. REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS 2-A. Alameda Point Environmental Update - Presentation by the Navy and Regulatory Agencies. Vice Chair deHaan introduced Jennifer Ott, Deputy City Manager, to open the presentation. Ms. Ott gave an overview on what will be presented: a summary of the environmental program, the accomplishments that have been made to date, funds that have been expended by the Navy to date, as well as some of the economic development impacts of the process. The presenters were Derek Robinson of the Navy, Anna-Marie Cook of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Dot Lofstrom of the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). After the presentation, the Board discussed key issues with the presenters. Vice Chair deHaan commented on the long process and gave a brief background on the remediation efforts. He thanked the community and past chairs for their continued support. Member Tam expressed her appreciation for the update and the amount of work & effort that goes into the clean up. She asked how the funds are controlled and administered, who they flow through given the various jurisdictions involved (i.e., is the funding centralized through the BRAC and then through the other agencies) and how they are allocated through congressional authorizations. Derek Robinson explained that he will get clarification on the funding process and will report the information back to Member Tam. He also clarified that the Navy's focus is not on recouping the funds spent in the clean-up. Vice Chair deHaan discussed the change of philosophy regarding the remediation of Alameda Point. He clarified that the clean-up was under the complete control of the Navy, and that in 2000, the Navy allowed the developer to consider privatized clean-up, and then it went back under the control of the Navy. Member Matarrese asked for more clarification about the process after a parcel is determined to be cleaned to the level at which it was assigned - how notification, information and documentation is given to the next successor agency in order for them to continue the work. Dot Lofstrom explained that there is an official administrative record that the Navy maintains and information & documentation will always be in the Information Repository. In addition, there is an informal repository that DTSC is maintaining through their Envirostore Database.
