AlamedaReuseandRedevelopmentAuthority | 2010-09-01 | 3 | Member Tam brought attention to the alternative resolution from the Golden Gate Audubon Society which includes recognition that there should be protection for the Least Terns, based on a biological opinion issued by the US Fish and Wildlife. Member Gilmore inquired why the VA was requesting 549 acres when they only require approximately 100 acres for their project, to which Mr. Jaynes replied that the Navy stated the transfer would be the 549 acres or nothing. Mr. Jaynes further explained that it is not part of the VA's mission to manage that portion of property, so the VA is planning to have a separate agreement with the USF&W to oversee the remaining 449 acres, just as the Navy has the same agreement with them right now; the funding will come from the VA instead of the Navy. Member Matarrese inquired if the property was transferred to the ARRA, could the ARRA then dispose of it to the VA, to which the Deputy City Manager, Development Services responded in the affirmative. Mr. Jaynes expressed that there may be stumbling blocks without proceeding with the BRAC process. Member Matarrese inquired whether the city will be able to participate in the VA project process, to which the Deputy City Manager, Development Services responded in the affirmative. Member Gilmore requested more details from the VA regarding what their plans are with USFW, and the proposed annual budget, so that it does not become an afterthought. Member Tam suggested adding the language from the Golden Gate Audubon Society regarding the protection of the Least Tern colony to the ARRA Resolution. Vice Chair deHaan moved for approval of Item 3-A, with a revision to the Resolution adding "Whereas, the City of Alameda will continue to prioritize the protection and conservation of the California Least Tern in its planning documents and decisions". Member Matarrese seconded the motion, which carried by a unanimous voice vote: 5 Ayes. 3-B. Presentation: Alameda Point - 'Going Forward'. The Interim City Manager announced that Item 3-C will be combined with 3-B into a single presentation. The presentation focused on a planning and assessment model for a going- forward approach for the development of Alameda Point. The Interim City Manager emphasized that this model is not a development plan, not a land use plan, or anything that requires actual legislative decision, it is a recommendation and topic for discussion. The presentation included seven key components of this approach: lessons learned, new structure, strategic alliances, development delivery systems, asset management police application, financial resources, and implementation schedule. Vice Chair deHaan inquired who will comprise the team for this model approach, to which the Interim City Manager responded that familiar staff members, including the Deputy City Manager, Development Services; the Planning Services Manager, Public Works Director; and various consultants, will comprise the team. Speakers: Adam Gillitt, Tony Daysog, Jean Sweeney, Jon Spangler, Alex McElree, Richard Bangert, Nancy Hird, Doug Biggs, Gretchen Lipow. Vice Chair deHaan remarked that the timeline for this plan is very aggressive, and suggested compressing the timeline. The Interim City Manager clarified that the ambitious timeline doesn't | AlamedaReuseandRedevelopmentAuthority/2010-09-01.pdf |
