AGENDA ITEM (12-001) Recommendation to Approve the September 2012 Alameda Landing Retail Tenanting Strategy. The Housing Programs Manager gave a brief presentation. Sean Whiskeman, Catellus, provided handouts and gave a brief presentation. Amy Herman, ALH Urban & Regional Economics, gave a presentation. The City Manager inquired why household appliances and electronics disappeared from leakage since 2006. Ms. Herman responded the household appliances and electronics are collapsed into the furniture and home furnishings category; there has been a shift in how the Board of Equalization (BOE) categorizes retail sales; stated both the 2006 and 2012 strategies indicate a lot of leakage remains for most retail categories on the Island. Councilmember Tam inquired if the amounts would be after the development of Target, to which Ms. Herman responded in the affirmative. The City Manager inquired why the appliances category went away, to which Ms. Herman responded the category did not go away; stated the current analysis has a broader characterization of the retail categories. The City Manager stated it approving a retail tenanting strategy that does not include a major appliance store would not be in Alameda's interest because appliances are a major sales tax generator that people cannot buy in town.
