Mayor Johnson suggested having a workshop involving the business community and Recreation and Park Commission; stated that there is a significant difference in using a park versus a City street; the possibility of 10 trucks selling coffee in one place needs to be considered. Councilmember deHaan stated there was a mobile canteen at Alameda Point; it is important to review the whole picture. Mayor Johnson stated that she was not clear on the recommended policy. Councilmember Matarrese stated that he does not believe the draft policy is ready for adoption; the policy does not establish or define standards for non-City use, long-term use, construction or renovation, or private uses; concessionaire needs to be defined; stated that he would oppose any private use that is 25% of the total park acreage available; the park application and review process is a procedure and not a policy procedures and policies need to be kept separate; suggested that the policy be sent back to the Recreation and Park Commission. Mayor Johnson concurred with Councilmember Matarrese; noted that the statement regarding the Recreation and Park Department's authority to deny non-City uses is unclear; Recreation and Park Commission decisions need to be able to be appealed to the City Council stated that it was not the Council's intent to have the Recreation and Parks Department have the sole determination to deny non-City uses; the language needs to be changed; the Council did not request a policy that limited any appeal rights or delegation of Council authority. Vice Mayor Gilmore stated that it appears that the policy was combined with the process and did not follow through on either one completely. Councilmember deHaan stated there is a need for a policy. Vice Mayor Gilmore moved that the matter be sent back to the Recreation and Park Commission. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 4 June 7, 2005 | CityCouncil/2005-06-07.pdf |
