CityCouncil | 2009-06-16 | 12 | Councilmember Tam stated that she concurs with Mayor Johnson; Council should not preclude the possibility of earning money; looking into public and private partnerships would be great ; there has been some expectation of moving the Public Works Department back to City Hall and have Planning and Building move to the Carnegie Building. The Interim City Manager stated Planning and Building will not have the ability to pay for refurbishing the building; staff is working on a space plan for the Planning and Building Department, Development Services Department, and Fire Prevention; that she does not think the Carnegie Building will need to be used except for records storage. Speakers Bob Risley, Alameda; Robbie Dileo, Alameda Museum; Chuck Millar, Alameda Museum. Councilmember Matarrese moved approval of 1) reconsidering and redirecting the previous motion; 2) reviewing other uses of the Carnegie Building, including partnering with a non-profit such as the Museum and other public/private partnerships; and 3) receiving a preliminary report back from the Interim City Manager regarding feasibility. Councilmember Gilmore inquired whether Councilmember Matarrese is requesting initial costs to make the building habitable and then figure out uses and who could pay for it, to which Councilmember Matarrese responded in the affirmative. Vice Mayor deHaan seconded the motion. Under discussion, Vice Mayor deHaan stated funding streams need to be reviewed and all options need to be considered. Councilmember Matarrese stated everything needs to be on the table. Councilmember Tam stated getting a paying tenant needs to be underscored. Mayor Johnson stated having a display area would draw people into the building; a multi-use building would be beneficial.
