CityCouncil | 2010-07-27 | 11 | (10-384 CC/ARRA/10-60 CIC) Recommendation to Approve the City of Alameda's Real Estate Asset Management Policy. The Interim City Manager gave a brief presentation. Speakers: Jon Spangler, Alameda; and Leslie Cameron, Bay Ship and Yacht. Following Mr. Spangler's comments, the Interim City Manager stated the policy is a Council policy; the Authorities and Responsibilities sections have citations in terms of policy administration; the City Manager would make administrative decisions as to what the policy means. Councilmember Tam stated for clarity, language should be added stating: "before recommending to the City Council for final approval". The Interim City Manager inquired where the inserted language should go. Councilmember Tam responded on Page 5 [of the Real Estate Asset Management Policy] under Organizational Responsibilities X-1 where it states: "the City Manager's office is the ultimate decision maker with respect to administrative interpretation of this City Council policy. All transactions under this policy must be approved by this office"; recommended inserting "before recommending to the City Council for final approval" after the word "office". In response to Mr. Spangler's comment regarding the policy including the City's commitment to making older City-owned buildings Leadership Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified or green buildings, the Interim City Manager stated the idea sounds good. Following Ms. Cameron's comments, Mayor Johnson stated that the City wants to continue to work with Bay Ship and Yacht and appreciates all the work that Bay Ship and Yacht has done. Councilmember Matarrese thanked the Interim City Manager, businesses that provided input, as well as staff; stated the policy is exactly what he hoped for when he put in the Council Referral; the earlier policy was not working; the new policy is comprehensive and dynamic; changes and adjustments might be needed; that he wants to stay focused on a long-term approach; taking lease revenues up to the front end to the exclusion of others is not the way to do things. Councilmember Matarrese moved approval of staff recommendation; stated the policy could be evaluated in six months or after "x" number of negotiated leases to ensure that the City is on target or adjustments need to be made.
