CityCouncil | 2011-04-12 | 8 | Mayor Gilmore inquired whether an appraisal could be done in sixty days, to which Councilmember deHaan responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Johnson stated sixty days [to accomplish all Council direction] seems very optimistic. Mayor Gilmore stated Council wants to light a fire under HBIA; any extended time would be for staff. Councilmember Tam stated the matter has a bearing on the budget; information should be obtained in sufficient form to ensure that it would be reflected in the budget. Vice Mayor Bonta stated the Kemper Sports portion of the proposal would be taken out of the equation if HBIA provides the financing for capital improvements; Council would be able to continue to think about what the proposal would look like if Kemper Sports were present. The Acting City Manager stated the new Kemper Sports proposal includes contributing $500,000 upfront for improvements; unfortunately, improvements would be made over time. *** Mayor Gilmore called a recess at 10:20 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 10:27 p.m. *** BOARD REFERRAL (11-182) Golf Commission Report to Council Speakers: Jane Sullwold, Golf Commission; Adam Strue; Joe Van Winkle, Alameda; and Jon Spangler, Alameda. Mayor Gilmore stated the Golf Course is an asset for the entire City; in the past, some Golf Course charges were instituted because of shortfalls in the General Fund; Alameda Municipal Power (AMP) has made transfers into the General Fund to support City services, mainly public safety; people want to call 911 and have police or fire show up within the usual four to six minute time frame; the Acting City Manager has addressed some of the issues in terms of the budget plans going forward. The Acting City Manager stated in late July, 2010, the City adopted the Fiscal Year 2010-2011 budget and a forecast for Fiscal Year 2011-2012; the Return on Investment (ROI) went away in Fiscal Year 2010-2011, the Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) zeroed out, and the surcharge continued to be charged for Fiscal Year 2010-2011; initially, she was hoping that the City would have a deal by now and the Golf Complex would be privately leased and managed, which is not the case; Council has requested moving forward with an exploration phase; staff time would still be devoted to the Golf Special Meeting 8 Alameda City Council April 12, 2011 | CityCouncil/2011-04-12.pdf |
