Mayor Johnson suggested setting a special City Council meeting in January; reiterated that her motion is to direct the Interim City Manager to negotiate with the principles of Alameda Junior Golf Association and that the Council Referral include the components of prior Council direction of fiscal, economic sustainability being considered in the context of the rest of the Golf Complex. Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion. Under discussion, Councilmember Matarrese stated $100,000 would be reserved to secure $250,000; the Interim City Manager would start final negotiations with the principles of the Alameda Junior Golf Association. Councilmember Gilmore inquired whether the motion is to direct the Interim City Manager to finalize negotiations for a lease of the Mif Albright Gold Course for senior and youth play, with principles of the Alameda Junior Golf Association consistent with the spirit of the tentative business term sheet dated June 30, 2010, to which Mayor Johnson responded in the affirmative. Mayor Johnson stated "components of the prior Council direction of economic sustainability as a factor in negotiations and also in the context of the entire Golf Complex" would be added to item 2 of the Council Referral; that she does not want to give direction limited to the Mif Albright Golf Course that could jeopardize the other 36 holes of the Golf Complex.
