The City Engineer responded impacts could be reviewed through the environmental review and the wording could be changed at that time, or mitigations could be addressed. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the process would be consistent with the Transportation Commission. The Transportation Commission Chair responded in the affirmative stated the intent is to give direction ahead of time so that the EIR'S do not have mitigations that do not make sense; The Transportation Commission and Planning Board would have discussions and Council would be able to make decisions based upon the traffic data by next June or July. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether Council wanted to give some direction on Policy No. 7. Mayor Johnson responded work needs to be done on Policy No. 7's language and would be done through the environmental impact analysis. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether further clarification and expansion would be requested for Policy No. 7. Mayor Johnson responded all policies, not only Policy No. 7; reviewing the impacts of all seven policies is good; information on the policies' impacts is not available. Councilmember Matarrese stated if Council approves doing the study, testing could be done by running the policies through the new model if Council approves doing the study, which only is possible if the $100,000 in Measure B funds is appropriated. Councilmember Matarrese moved approval of expeditiously moving forward with the appropriation so that the polices can be tested and bringing back the policies as rapidly as possible, through the Transportation Commission and Planning Board, so that Council can receive the benefit of the recommendation from the two Boards. Councilmember Daysog inquired whether the policies are being accepted as a draft or Council is adopting the policies. Mayor Johnson responded money would be allocated to move forward Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 22 October 17, 2006 | CityCouncil/2006-10-17.pdf |
