The Housing Authority Executive Director responded in the affirmative; stated that the Project Manager rehabilitated similar units at Treasure Island; the recommendation is to tear down the existing units. Mayor/Chair inquired what happened to the Treasure Island units, to which the Housing Authority Executive Director responded the units are used by the homeless. Mayor/Chair Johnson inquired how many of the units are three and four bedroom. The Housing Authority Executive Director responded most units are four-plexes and six-plexes. Councilmember/Commissioner Matarrese stated that he is in favor of moving ahead with the Notice of Interest; tearing down useable units seems wasteful even if the units are too large showing interest in a public conveyance for a portion of the park seems incomplete; the Coast Guard will not be there forever; inquired whether the City can take conveyance of the play area and allow the Coast Guard to use it along with adjacent buildings until the Coast Guard leaves. The City Manager stated the Coast Guard has identified the section as a Fed-to-Fed transfer it is not available. Councilmember/Commissioner deHaan stated that the past intent was to gain housing control of the entire site through an Economic Development Conveyance (EDC) in order to avoid going through a screening process.
