The Supervising Planner responded the DA requires that shuttle services run to BART in thirty minute headways on day one; the project would need to be subsidize beyond the money coming in from the tenant; buses are going to be running when Clif Bar goes in; a system needs to be up and running as soon as possible; every West End project needs to contribute to the fund. Councilmember deHaan stated internal loop systems have been discussed; the system would be enhanced as individual developments come on line; inquired whether there was enough money for day one operations. The Supervising Planner responded in the affirmative; stated the current agreement states that shuttles would run on thirty minute headways to Oakland BART; the TDM Program was not tied to a specific number of trips removed from the tubes; the program has the flexibility to make changes. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether there is latitude to measure the program and fund the program at a higher level if necessary. The Supervising Planner responded the conditions have an annual reporting requirement; the DA requires that the project provide up to $425,000 per year in annual operating and management expenses for the program upon full build-out; the characteristics of the program can be adjusted from year to year; an annual survey is required the program can be augmented by setting up performance criteria; any development partner would want certainty a specified formula or percentage is needed to ensure that the developer knows what they are signing up for. Councilmember deHaan stated the City needs to know what they are signing up for also; support would be needed from individual developments; hopefully, Alameda Point will be on line at some point transportation concerns need to be addressed; inquired whether measuring triggering devices can be done. The Base Reuse and Community Development Manager responded in the affirmative; stated Council could direct that the DA be amended to include criteria for measuring the success of the TDM Program, and that the criteria should be developed with the Transportation Commission and the Planning Board and brought back as the overall TDM Program approval as part of the Phase One development ; the TDM Program budget could be bumped in the event the project does not measure up to the success criteria in five years time and the project is performing better than the Performa.
