CityCouncil | 2010-09-07 | 25 | Commissioner deHaan stated the Commission is not asking for a lot of detail; other elements need to be considered in order to be successful. Chair Johnson stated the Animal Shelter would be better off in another location. The Interim Executive Director stated that she has recommendations on where the Corporation Yard and Animal Shelter could go; this year's budget has funds for a very extensive feasibility analysis for rebuilding, constructing, and relocating the Corporation Yard and Animal Shelter; the process should not be started until the CIC knows what the property can be sold for in order to put more cash into the deal; the Commission's comments and Commissioner Matarrese's amendments to the ENA have seven different components which would be put into the ENA; staff would come back regarding getting consultants on board to start the feasibility analysis; the CIC does not have the cash or funds to buy property and build something; the cost estimate would be based on the type of building and landscape, as well as the physical relocation cost; staff has other recommendations for the Commission in terms of what could happen with Alameda Municipal Power; through an asset management strategy, the CIC could have more than enough to pay for the Animal Shelter and approximately 50% to pay for the Corporation Yard; a deal might be able to be struck in a DA to offset costs; the situation is sequential. Chair Johnson stated ensuring a benefit to the City is important in terms of the economy of scale. Commissioner Gilmore inquired whether a bunch of dominos need to fall in order to finance the Corporation Yard and Animal Shelter relocation; stated the Commission has a sense of unease because the Interim Executive Director has a clear idea of where to move the Corporation Yard and costs; that she is not privy to the information. The Interim Executive Director stated that she needs to have some discussion regarding selling the property in order to validate numbers and theories; the cart is before the horse. Commissioner Gilmore stated Commissioner deHaan is asking for ballpark figures. Commissioner deHaan inquired how much two acres is worth to Warmington Residential. Michael McClellan, Warmington Residential, responded that he does not know until preliminary testing is done. Commissioner deHaan inquired how much two clean acres would be worth. Mr. McClellan responded approximately 20% of land value; stated the issue is that the property is small, irregular, and under bay mud; that he spoke to Pennzoil about the Special Joint Meeting Alameda City Council and Community 7 Improvement Commission September 7, 2010 | CityCouncil/2010-09-07.pdf |
