CityCouncil | 2007-05-01 | 8 | The City Manager responded May 15; noted there is an Appeal as well which will be on the agenda. Mayor Johnson stated the [previous] Call for Review is on the Planning Board's decision to establish a committee to discuss Measure A; further stated any Councilmember can request a Call for Review, but needs to be clear about what is being called for review. Councilmember deHaan stated the other one [ formation of a Measure A committee] is really a discussion, not a [Call for] Review because the decision was not a variance or similar type of Planning Board decision. Mayor Johnson stated it is a Call for Review and has to be handled as a Call for Review; inquired whether or not a Call for Review can be stopped after a request is made; further inquired whether or not the Council is required to take an action after a Call for Review is requested. The City Manager noted an Appeal has also been filed. The City Attorney responded a Call for Review generally acts like an Appeal, but is being called up by a Councilmember ; in this particular case [formation of a Measure A committee] because an Appeal has also been received that would be heard on the same evening as what would have been a Call for Review, the two processes would be duplicative; the items are going to be placed on an agenda a little differently. there will be the Appeal and possibly a discussion on the policy issue; a Call for Review should come to Council the same as an Appeal, unless withdrawn. Mayor Johnson stated the matter is procedural and should be placed on an agenda for discussion; the Call for Review and Appeal processes should be clear; inquired whether the "discussion" would be on the Call for Review. Councilmember deHaan responded that he believes the discussion is on policy. The City Attorney stated the Call for Review would appear under Council Communications as a review of the overall policy; otherwise there would be an Appeal and Call for Review as back-to-back agenda items or combined [as one item]. Mayor Johnson stated the process should be clear; noted the matter would not be heard if a Call for Review was cancelled due to an Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 8 May 1, 2007 | CityCouncil/2007-05-01.pdf |
