AlamedaReuseandRedevelopmentAuthority | 2010-09-01 | 4 | mean the base is going to be completed in 15 months, rather, the 15 months timeline is for planning an assessment. The Board will have an opportunity to augment the timeline in more detail after subsequent discussions and at subsequent meetings. Member Matarrese stated that on strategic alliances, the regulators should be recognized, the EPA & DTSC for clean-up, and USF&W for the environmental. Regarding policy questions, Member Matarrese also expects certain questions to resurface, i.e., finances and how tax increment might be used, where the shortfalls are, how they will be backfilled, and where there are opportunities for early transfer for land that has already been cleaned up. Member Matarrese also suggested looking at the potential for having a citywide Project Labor Agreement (PLA) . There also needs to be discussion about jobs-housing balance, to give an opportunity for public to weigh in on it. Member Matarrese remarked on the notion of using "other peoples money", i.e., funds from the Federal Government and MTC, as these funds could add up. Member Gilmore echoed Member Matarrese's comments and requested to see a primer of what the lease environment looks like in the Bay Area, regarding the asset management application. If the ARRA is renegotiating leases, it would be good to know realistically what the competition is, in order to have a more realistic expectation in terms of putting in more capital into a building or not. In terms of leasing strategy, Member Tam inquired whether or not there is opportunity to adjust the restriction in the LIFOC which says the Navy can give minimal notice to terminate a tenant, recommending that it is something that should be pursued. There was discussion about the amount of documents that have been produced and compiled through the years, and where they are made available to the public on the City and Alameda Point websites. The Interim City Manager stated that staff is working on implementing a new Alameda Point website which will focus strictly on Alameda Point and the development project going forward. 3-C. Presentation: Citywide Asset Management Strategy - Alameda Point Application. (This item was combined with 3-B) 4. ORAL REPORTS 4-A. Oral report from Member Matarrese, Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) representative - Highlights of August 5 Alameda Point RAB Meeting. Member Matarrese stated that there were a number of interesting documents that were presented at the August RAB meeting, including a report on IR Site 35, which is action sites that are in the very center of the property being transferred to the ARRA; a presentation on groundwater remediation at OU-2A, which discussed clean up; and communications from the RAB to the Navy. Member Matarrese remarked that the most interesting handout was an abstract done in concert with the Navy, EPA, Shaw Group (the contractor) and federal money from a SERDP grant through the University of Florida, Gainesville. The abstract depicts the results of a method of clean up of TCE (trichloroethene), Plume 4-1. Member Matarrese stated that this should be of interest to Alameda because it is being published in a scientific journal, it brings focus on what is going on at Alameda Point, and creates notoriety on methods that could be used at other bases. Handouts were provided to the Clerk for copies to be made and distributed. | AlamedaReuseandRedevelopmentAuthority/2010-09-01.pdf |
