CityCouncil | 2011-12-06 | 2 | Vice Mayor Bonta inquired whether any plans have been discussed regarding making Alameda a gateway for transport to the America's Cup activities through Alameda Point and the ferries. Mr. Seiwald responded no firm ideas are in place; stated the matter is still in the discussion phase. Vice Mayor Bonta inquired whether the super yacht and mega yacht idea is still moving forward, to which Mr. Seiwald responded Alameda is the only facility on the west coast that can accommodate super yacht and mega yacht repairs and berthing. Councilmember deHaan stated that he had the opportunity to attend two meetings; an individual from San Francisco laid out everything that San Francisco is doing; San Francisco has not had the opportunity to look at Alameda's resources; San Diego World Series was quite impressive. Mr. Seiwald stated San Francisco would be looking for support; Alameda is perfectly poised by being seven miles from San Francisco by car and 2.7 miles by boat.
