CityCouncil | 2005-08-02 | 3 | (05-383) - Recommendation to authorize the Mayor to send a letter to the United States Postal Service regarding the City's interest to relocate the distribution function of the Alameda Post Office from Shoreline Drive to another site in Alameda. Mayor Johnson stated that the City Manager would revise the draft letter. Councilmember Matarrese stated that he is in favor of relocating the distribution center; that there is no reason for a warehouse and parking lot to enjoy one of the best views of the entire East Bay; stated that the City should retain some sway over what would be placed at the site; there is no need for another carwash or retail-type enterprise that would not take advantage of the location; efforts should be made to retain a retail front within the South Shore Center for mail transactions. Councilmember Daysog stated that he has a concern with the possibility that the Post Office would be relocated at Alameda Point. Mayor Johnson stated that the intent was to have the retail portion of the Post Office remain at the South Shore Center and have the sorting portion of the facility move to a more appropriate location. Councilmember deHaan stated that the relocation of the distribution center is a great opportunity for the City. Mayor Johnson stated the relocation is not certain; the matter has been discussed for years. Vice Mayor Gilmore moved approval of the staff recommendation.
