CityCouncil | 2010-09-21 | 4 | Councilmember Gilmore stated EBMUD fixes water main breaks on the main island; inquired whether the service is built into rates. The Public Works Director responded a full, ongoing water system maintenance rate pays for Alameda Point water main breaks; stated EBMUD is charging twice because the water system is not up to standards; that he does not feel the full consumption rate should be paid because some percentage should take care of ongoing water main repairs; that he will be discussing the matter with EBMUD. Vice Mayor deHaan inquired what upgrading Alameda Point would entail. The Public Works Director responded EBMUD would like to work with the City on updating an Alameda Point facilities study done by the Navy fourteen years; the study identified projects, including water tank removal that was part of the fire suppression system; cross contamination is a concern; a water main extension on Fox Avenue has been completed; EBMUD typically adds fast flow preventers to prohibit contamination. Councilmember Gilmore inquired who would pay for things that need to be done. The Public Works Director responded ARRA; stated the question for EBMUD is what needs to be done now in light of future Alameda Point redevelopment; putting in improvements that would not be used later would not make sense. Vice Mayor deHaan moved approval of the staff recommendation. Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 4. Abstention: Councilmember Tam - 1. (*10-444) Resolution No. 14489, "Authorizing the Interim City Manager to Submit an Application to the Bay Area Air Quality Management District's Fiscal Year 2010-2011 Transportation Fund for Clean Air Regional Fund for $430,000, Provide $43,000 in Special Transportation Projects and Programs Funds for the Local Match, and Execute all Necessary Documents for an Estuary Crossing Bicycle/College Shuttle." Adopted. (10-445) Resolution No. 14490, "Approving a Project Operating Agreement with the East Bay Regional Communications System Authority.' Adopted. Councilmember Gilmore inquired how much would be left in the fund [City's Equipment Replacement Internal Service Fund] after paying for the system and whether the City's computer upgrades would be affected. The Interim City Manager responded in the negative; stated $3.1 is projected for the fund this year; staff will determine department charge back costs for the next three to five years once budget forecasts are reviewed. Councilmember Gilmore moved adoption of the resolution. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 4 September 21, 2010 | CityCouncil/2010-09-21.pdf |
