The Recreation and Park Director stated open space could include elements of a passive park with bike trails, picnic areas, and athletic fields. Councilmember deHaan stated Measure E discussions were headed toward open space being a passive park area. Mayor Johnson stated that [a passive park area] was not her recollection; inquired what is the status on the possession of the property. The City Attorney responded the City does not have possession stated the Alameda Belt Line [ABL] retains title and possession; the City has no right to enter the property without ABL's permission. Mayor Johnson inquired whether the City has any control of what ABL can do with the property since the City won the Trial Court decision. The City Attorney responded ABL cannot enter into an agreement to sell the property to someone else; stated improvements would be done at ABL'S own risk. Mayor Johnson requested that staff investigate whether the City has control over what ABL can do to the property; stated ABL should be required to let the City know about any plans so that the City can challenge said plans since the Trial Court decision states that the City has the right to buy the property. The City Attorney stated she would get back to Council on the matter. Regular Meeting 4 Alameda City Council August 21, 2007 | CityCouncil/2007-08-21.pdf |
