CityCouncil | 2008-02-19 | 14 | been successful. The Redevelopment Manager responded flyers were sent to local businesses in the area; stated plans are to advertise in the Park Street Business Association and Chamber of Commerce newsletters; all spaces have not been reserved; more marketing will be done. Commissioner deHaan inquired where are the monthly parking spaces. The Redevelopment Manager responded approximately 40 spaces are restricted to the roof for local business monthly parking; stated expanding the monthly parking spaces to other levels might make sense. Commissioner deHaan stated the public needs to understand that parking is free after 5:00 p.m. Chair Johnson stated parking is also free on Sunday. The Redevelopment Manager stated the increased on-street parking rates would also help. Chair Johnson stated enforcement should help; people are not used to going down Oak Street. The Redevelopment Manager stated better marketing would inform people that the parking garage is open even though half of Oak Street is closed. Commissioner Tam stated that she appreciates that the leak was discovered early; the remaining Theater contingency is $2,777 the remaining garage contingency is $31,000; the original amount of the [parking garage] contingency was $415,000. $604,000 in value engineering was taken out ; additional expenditures were covered by interest from loans; inquired whether overages would be covered by interest or contingency. The Redevelopment Manager responded $55,000 is budgeted for the leakage within the current contingency; pending change orders might come back at a higher price; the $31,000 garage contingency should be enough to cover the eastern elevation leakage the interest from the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) loan has not been committed to anything else; $62,000 was committed from the Cineplex interest income in December: an additional $12,000 available. Commissioner Tam inquired whether there would be an assessment of Special Joint Meeting Alameda City Council, Alameda Reuse 2 and Redevelopment Authority, and Community Improvement Commission February 19, 2008 | CityCouncil/2008-02-19.pdf |
