CityCouncil | 2010-05-18 | 22 | developed at Alameda Point will have some impact on the rest of the island; the question is what does the rest of Alameda get for developing Alameda Point; Council insists on fiscal neutrality but public benefits would be provided for the rest of Alameda; public benefits are the carrot for the rest of Alameda and need to be funded; having systems in place to mitigate traffic burdens is a really difficult job but is important to nail down. Mayor/Chair Johnson stated the Navy has not been at its peak for decades; in the past, there was more tolerance for Navy traffic; traffic created by development would not have much tolerance. Vice Mayor/Board Member/Commissioner deHaan stated more square footage is being requested than for Measure B; Marina Village is 60% vacant; available office space is not being utilized; the original Community Reuse Plan was for blue collar job generation to backfill jobs lost; that he is concerned that 60 days from now a decision will need to be made; he is uncomfortable with decisions made; SunCal could not satisfy the needs of unions, schools, historical element, and community in general; today, SunCal is kinder and gentler; however, everyone is identical except for one person; SunCal went into bankruptcy because of Lehman Brothers; SunCal is having the same problems with D.E. Shaw; that he is not comfortable with the financial aspect of signing into a partnership; he does not want to be involved in a legal suit or bankruptcy; that he was concerned with picking up D.E. Shaw but could not convey what was brought to the table because everything was confidential; the City has been in a three year process; the City went into a five year process with APCP; the City decided to finance a PDC after two and a half years; people can sort out what they liked and disliked about Measure B but Measure B was still defeated.
