Mayor Johnson stated at a prior meeting, Wadsworth representatives were asked about contributions; that she thought Wadsworth contributions would not solely be money; representatives described a lot of in-kind contributions and did not commit to certain amount of money; inquired whether contributions would include money or would be all in-kind contributions. The Interim City Manager stated that she was under the impression that contributions would be a combination of in-kind and cash. Mayor Johnson inquired whether there are any updates on the matter. The Recreation and Park Director responded a number of Wadsworth landscape architect, maintenance, and irrigation partners would provide services. Mayor Johnson inquired whether Wadsworth has indicated how much of the contribution would be in-kind and how much would be cash, to which the Recreation and Park Director responded not to him. Vice Mayor deHaan stated the architect partner stated that they would provide in-kind architectural services and there could be more in-kind contributions going forward; the hard cash is $250,000. Mayor Johnson stated that was not stated at the meeting she attended. Vice Mayor deHaan stated Chris Seiwald, Jack London Soccer League President, advocated for swapping the property for soccer fields; at the next meeting, Mr. Seiwald offered a $20,000 matching grant [for soccer] but retracted the offer when he realized how valuable the Golf Course is to youth; Mr. Seiwald then offered the $20,000 for [golf] operations; the Alameda Junior Golf Club came up with matching funds.
