Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the Harbor Bay Ferry replacement was discussed. Councilmember Gilmore responded discussions were not that specific. The Deputy City Manager stated the Gemini and Pisces would be coming on line within the next several months; the Gemini would go to the Alameda/Oakland Ferry Service; the Pisces would go to the Harbor Bay Ferry Service. Mayor Johnson inquired whether WETA is operating the service now, to which the Deputy City Manager responded in the negative. Mayor Johnson stated WETA has more access to funding than the City; hopefully, service can be expanded. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether fees would be lowered because of lower fuel prices.
