CityCouncil | 2005-12-20 | 9 | Mayor Johnson agreed that the Council was looking for a commitment on the matter. Mark Allen, Alameda County Lead Poisoning Prevention Program Board stated the will of the Authority was to establish the requirement in the Contract. Mayor Johnson requested Mr. Allen to describe which Alameda programs would be facing funding reductions and which programs would be funded by the potential fee increase. Mr. Allen stated cuts have already been implemented which would have a negative impact on Alameda: free risk assessments have been cut; the assessments were provided to the Housing Authority and Development Services Department for free over the past five years but now the City has to budget for the service; additional services at risk are: technical assistance to property owners with an identified lead poisoned child, free home renovation classes, reduction in the number of lead safe painting kits, and elimination of a one-day lead safe work practice workshop stated the survey would indicate what fee the property owners or the general electorate would be willing to bear; a $10 to $15 increase might provide the cities with risk assessments. Councilmember deHaan inquired what amount was being requested as Alameda's share. Mr. Allen responded $5,000; stated the City of Berkeley's share was $10,000 and the City of Oakland's share was $14,9991 Alameda County and SEIU Local 616 contributed $11,000 each; the City of Emeryville contributed $3,000. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the consultant has been selected, to which Mr. Allen responded in the affirmative. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the County would go forward with the survey without the City's contribution. Mr. Allen responded not necessarily; further discussion would be needed if one of the cities chose not to contribute; stated a Contract has not been signed. Mayor Johnson inquired who would approve the Contract, to which Mr. Allen responded the Board of Directors. Councilmember deHaan stated there was concern regarding the use of the data and whether the data would be public information.
