CityCouncil | 2011-05-03 | 2 | (11-212) Gretchen Lipow, Alameda Citizens Task Force, discussed the process to approve MOUs. (11-213) Janet Gibson, Alameda, submitted a handout, discussed the naming of the Housing Authority project for the disabled. Councilmember Johnson requested that the matter be brought to Council for discussion; stated that she does not like the like the idea of a contest. Mayor Gilmore stated naming the facility through a contest does not sit right. Councilmember Johnson stated the naming process should come to the Housing Authority Board of Commissioners (HABOC), not the Housing Commission. Councilmember deHaan stated the City has a policy regarding naming facilities. The Housing Executive Director stated the project is not owned by the City; the facility naming policy applies to City owned facilities, not non-profit projects. Mayor Gilmore stated community outreach does not appear to be very wide. Councilmember Johnson stated the City came up with the concept for the project, has been significantly involved and should have input in the naming of the project. The Executive Director stated the Planning Board and other boards were notified. Mayor Gilmore stated notifying boards is fine but it depends upon how the notification was done; sending out an email is inadequate versus an agendized notification. Councilmember Johnson inquired who owns the property, to which the Housing Executive Director responded the Housing Authority. Councilmember Johnson stated the matter needs to come back to Council. Councilmember deHaan stated the [contest] announcement does not outline criteria. The Acting City Manager stated staff would discuss the matter with the developer and bring the matter to the HABOC. (11-214) Jon Spangler, Bike Alameda, discussed bicycling in Alameda.
