CityCouncil | 2012-03-20 | 2 | The Public Works Director stated both cities and ACTC have been engaged in public outreach regarding the project; the project is not set in stone. Mr. Dao stated the project started in 1997; ACTC has worked very closely with the Oakland Chinatown Advisory Committee. Councilmember Tam inquired whether projects identified in Table 2 of the staff report were the result of a recommendation from the Transportation Commission in January, to which the Public Works Director responded in the negative. Councilmember Tam stated that she understands the benefits Alameda would derive from the Measure; inquired what would be the absolute last date that Council could request the Alameda County Board of Supervisors to place the TEP on the November, 2012 ballot, to which Ms. Lengvel responded the ACTC is trying to get endorsements by May 22. Councilmember deHaan stated Measure B has been extremely important to Alameda; inquired when the original tax would terminate. Ms. Lengvel responded the plan presented tonight is the third TEP in Alameda County; stated in 1986, Alameda County took the opportunity of legislation that had been passed to approve a transportation sales tax measure for a fifteen year period which expired in 2002; in November 2000, voters were asked to approve a second TEP for a twenty year plan; the second TEP required a two-thirds voter approval; the twenty year plan has been delivered in terms of capital investments in a ten year period; the early investments will need to be paid off with the remaining ten years worth of funds; federal and State funds are not available now; the measure requires that voters approve plan but voters would not have to approve the tax every time. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether AC Transit or BART are anticipating any tax measure in November, to which Ms. Lengvel responded that she does not know of any definitive action for placing anything on the ballot. Speaker: Jon Spangler, Alameda, stated the 1880/Broadway/Jackson project did not come from a public input driven process.
