CityCouncil | 2006-03-07 | 3 | Councilmember Daysog inquired whether redevelopment money could be used instead; stated the interest earned on Measure O funds could be used for branch libraries; redevelopment money can only be used in redevelopment areas. The Project Manager responded Council approved the contingency funding on December 21, 2004 the order of funding was Measure O interest, branch library funding, and then redevelopment. Councilmember Matarrese inquired whether branch library funding would be guaranteed if redevelopment money were used for the add- back. Councilmember Daysog stated the best approach would be to move forward with the change order and leave flexibility for staff to iron out the details. Vice Mayor Gilmore stated that she understood that the $670,000 line item was earmarked for branch library upgrades; the concept was to dip into the branch library funding if the New Main Library ran over budget. The Project Manager stated $2 million was allocated for branch library funding. Mayor Johnson inquired whether branch library funds would be used if the New Main Library ran over budget or whether alternate sources would be used. The Project Manager responded branch library funds would be used if the New Main Library runs over the $375,000 [Measure O interest ] ; stated the final funding source would be redevelopment funds Mayor Johnson stated the Council could move forward with the change order and address the financing issue at a later point. Councilmember deHaan stated that only going $200,000 over on a $20 million project is incredible. Councilmember deHaan moved approval of the change order. Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion. Under discussion, Councilmember Daysog stated money should be saved for the branch libraries; Alameda can have a great Main Library and great branch libraries. The Project Manager stated he is lobbying to use the $2 million Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 3 March 7, 2006 | CityCouncil/2006-03-07.pdf |
