CityCouncil | 2009-10-20 | 14 | The Interim City Manager stated three [affirmative] votes are needed in order to schedule a joint meeting with the School District; that she wants to ensure that the City is not placed at risk with disclosure. Councilmember Tam stated Council seems to be very supportive of the Mayor's desire to have the community informed about what is in the initiative; the community needs the full context of issues Council has identified; that she would like the City Attorney to interpret Section 14-A (2) that addresses an amendment to the initiative if an agreement is reached with SunCal. Mayor Johnson inquired whether the City Attorney's analysis could be made public. The City Attorney responded the City Attorney's office would provide the analysis and make it public if possible. Councilmember Tam moved approval of providing direction for staff to return with a presentation to Council [that includes: 1) the election reports; 2) a summary of the status of negotiation issues between SunCal and the City; and 3) a report on working with SunCal to release more information that the City has, but which was not included in the Election Reports; also, requested that the City Attorney's office make public the opinion on what can and cannot be negotiated; lastly, the motion included Councilmember Matarrese': request to update the City's financial report on the project with recent economic assumptions related to the impending loss of redevelopment money . Councilmember Gilmore seconded the motion. Under discussion, Councilmember Matarrese stated that he wants the motion to be clear that information would be updated and financials would be measured in today's environment in order to reasonably predict the costs associated with figures identified in the public domain, not just the initiative. On the call for the question, the motion carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. (09-416) Consider Supporting Proposed AC Transit Board Resolution 09 - -51 Setting Policy for Buying American Goods. Councilmember Matarrese stated AC Transit Board Member Elsa Ortiz requested support for the resolution; AC Transit's fleet is largely made in Europe; the AC Transit Board adopted the resolution on October 14, 2009; no action needed.
