CityCouncil | 2011-03-01 | 8 | MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING TUESDAY- - MARCH 1, 2011--7:01 P.M. Mayor Gilmore convened the meeting at 9:16 p.m. ROLL CALL - Present: Councilmembers Bonta, deHaan, Johnson, Tam and Mayor Gilmore - 5. Absent: None. AGENDA ITEM (11-115) Discuss and Appoint the Community Stakeholders to Serve on a City Manager Interview Panel. The Human Resources Director gave a brief presentation. Mayor Gilmore noted the staff report lists the five community groups proposed by the subcommittee [Margie Sherratt, Board of Education; Jordan Battani, Alameda Hospital Board; Dr. Jannett Jackson, College of Alameda; Doug Biggs, Alameda Point Collaborative; and Jeff Cambra, Chamber of Commerce/WABA]. Councilmember Johnson stated that she has received questions regarding the Alameda Business Alliance (ABA); requested clarification about said organization. Vice Mayor Bonta responded Mr. Cambra, the ABA representative, serves on the West Alameda Business Association (WABA) Board and Chamber of Commerce Board; the ABA was an ad hoc business group pulled together to discuss the School Parcel Tax; Mr. Cambra worked with members of the business community to find an acceptable tax structure. Councilmember Johnson inquired whether someone just representing the business community was considered. Mayor Gilmore responded Mr. Cambra was chosen because he is also on the Chamber Board and WABA Board; the subcommittee was thinking one person would be wearing different business hats. Councilmember deHaan stated his concern is ABA is not an official body. Vice Mayor Bonta stated the list could read Chamber of Commerce/WABA. Councilmember deHaan stated using said listing makes more sense. Mayor Gilmore stated the title could be changed; called for Councilmembers to provide the name of a representative.
