Councilmember Gilmore stated that she concurs with Councilmember Matarrese; the Planning Board had a lengthy discussion several years ago and the only record was that a meeting was held to discuss Measure A; that she would not want to take time and effort to establish a structure to have an impartial forum and not have a record of the forum; that she supports having full minutes of the discussion written down and memorialized. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the discussion would be limited to Alameda Point only, to which Councilmember Matarrese responded in the negative. Councilmember Gilmore stated the Ad Hoc Committee should determine the parameters. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether there would be an impact on any lawsuits, to which the City Attorney responded that she would prepare a confidential opinion for the Council. Councilmember Gilmore stated regardless of the Ad Hoc Committee's structure or its decisions, Measure A is still the law in Alameda; unless citizens circulate a petition to have the matter placed on the ballot and voted upon, Measure A remains the law. Vice Mayor Tam seconded the motion with the clarification from Councilmember Gilmore. Councilmember deHaan requested the motion be restated. Councilmember Matarrese restated the motion to deny the appeal and uphold the decision of the Planning Board with the following conditions : that the context is both the Housing Element and transportation; that the Ad Hoc Committee be expanded to include three members of the Appellant group to be determined by the Appellants; workshop deliverables are establishing facts, limitations, and benefits of Measure A, to obtain public input and to provide a written account of deliberations and outcomes of the workshop. Mayor Johnson inquired how people would be informed of the Ad Hoc Committee's Meetings stated the motion should include direction that the Ad Hoc Committees meeting schedule be made public.
