CityCouncil | 2010-04-06 | 13 | Vice Mayor deHaan seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS (10-152) Mayor Johnson inquired whether temporary Recreational Vehicle (RV) parking permits should be brought back as a Council Referral or if it is something that the Police Department could review. The Interim City Manager responded a status report could be provided at the next Council meeting. Mayor Johnson stated people want to park on the street to load up motor homes; San Leandro provides a permit for [short term] parking. Councilmember Matarrese stated that the speaker was issued a ticket and a boat has been stuck at the end of Grand Street for months; the City has an ordinance because junk is being parked on the streets. The Deputy City Manager - Administrative Services stated the ordinance has several pieces; vehicles have to be moved a mile every 72 hours; boat trailer and RV parking is prohibited on streets. Mayor Johnson stated that she does not think having a permit process for loading an RV would be unreasonable. Vice Mayor deHaan stated the speaker said his RV is 20 feet, which is a little bigger than a car and is his sole vehicle. Mayor Johnson stated the question is how an RV is defined. (10-153) Vice Mayor deHaan stated Alameda County Supervisor Alice Lai-Bitker made a presentation at the Yacht Club; the topic was manning and raising bridges; manning the bridges from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. is proposed, which would be one shift; four hours would be needed to respond to a request outside the timeframe [when bridges are staffed]; the Coast Guard is initiating the effort, not the County. Councilmember Tam stated that she was at the presentation; the shifts would be fully manned from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; after 4:30 p.m. would require on demand service; the proposal would be from the Coast Guard because the Coast Guard is not under any obligation to hold public hearings; Supervisor Lai-Bitker felt there is an opportunity to make sure those most affected would have the ability to comment and provide feedback; the matter was published in the Federal Register on March 31st; the comment period is open for 90 days. Mayor Johnson stated when she met with the Coast Guard, the idea was to man two shifts and provide on demand service overnight; having two shifts on demand seems Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 13 April 6, 2010 | CityCouncil/2010-04-06.pdf |
