CityCouncil | 2007-04-17 | 12 | The Base Reuse and Community Development Manager responded in the affirmative stated staff participated in the development of the Plan; a commitment is needed to work on a regional level to end homelessness; staff will continue to participate on the leadership structure and the various committees set up to implement the Plan on behalf of the City through the larger, County-wide process. Councilmember Matarrese inquired whether the Plan should be adopted since the City is already measuring against the Plan. The City Attorney responded that adoption of the Plan is not on the agenda this evening stated Council could consider adoption of the Plan in the future; there is a distinction between adoption of any plan or policy that becomes an official act of the City and can be cited as an official City policy for which the City is then responsible and its own adopted policy which is a slight distinction between receiving and supporting participation, all of which the City has actively done with regard to the Plan and can continue to do SO. founcilmember Matarrese suggested reviewing the Plan against the City's activities and if there are any liabilities that can be assumed, Council can request that the Plan be adopted with said liabilities in mind; otherwise, Council can move forward. Mayor Johnson inquired how the creation of 15,000 supportive housing units in Alameda County would work in relation to the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) allocation. The City Attorney responded the issue would be analyzed. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether ABAG has endorsed the Plan. Ms. Gardener responded ABAG has not been requested to endorse the Plan; stated the adoption of the Plan does not commit a City to any specific action and is only the adoption of the Plan's broadened goals. Councilmember Matarrese stated a lot of time went into putting the Plan together; Council needs to know whether the ABAG allotment and 15,000 units overlap; details need to be analyzed; the Plan needs to come back to Council. Councilmember deHaan stated that the City already has some goals in place and certain obligations; staff needs to review how the goals and obligations dovetail together. Councilmember deHaan moved approval of receiving the report with Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 12 April 17, 2007 | CityCouncil/2007-04-17.pdf |
