(08-296) - Vice Mayor Tam moved approval of continuing the meeting past midnight. Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. *** Mayor Johnson inquired what Ms. Sullwold does not like about the Master Plan. Ms. Sullwold responded something would be lost by giving up the south course; stated redesigning the north course is not a reasonable choice. Mayor Johnson stated she understood that the Golf Course would be restored to more of the original design. Ms. Sullwold stated that the feel would be restored, but the Golf Course would be completely redesigned; she does not see how the expense could be justified. Mayor Johnson inquired whether Ms. Sullwold does not recommend the Master Plan because the Plan is not economically feasible. Ms. Sullwold responded in the affirmative; stated the operational review and Master Plan should be used as guidelines. Mayor Johnson stated the RFP should be left open and be flexible. Vice Mayor Tam stated the City would not be controlling its destiny by having bidders come up with ideas; community consensus is needed; inquired whether the Golf Commission's current vision is to maintain the facility as a recreational golf facility that is very specific to Alameda without turning it into a national class tournament play facility. Ms. Sullwold responded that she does not think that the Golf Course has the capacity or amenities to attract national class play. Mayor Johnson inquired what the next step would be if there was no response to the RFP . Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 16 July 1, 2008 | CityCouncil/2008-07-01.pdf |
