CITY MANAGER COMMUNICATIONS (13-074) The City Manager encouraged residents to participate in the Budget Challenge posted on the City's website. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS, NON-AGENDA (13-075) Jon Spangler, Alameda, encouraged there be no animosity between the City and the East Bay Regional Park District; and suggested the scope of the Alameda Point Environmental Impact Report be as broad as possible. COUNCIL REFERRALS (13-076) Consider Providing Direction to Staff regarding a Draft Resolution Re-Affirming Support for the Creation of the Alameda Wildlife Refuge at Alameda Point. Councilmember Chen stated supporting and preserving wildlife communities is important; the Open Space designation in the Reuse Plan is equally important; the resolution he is presenting is straightforward; staff can be given an opportunity to evaluate or change the resolution, or come back with staff report. Mayor Gilmore inquired about the impact of passing the resolution, since the property is still owned by the Federal Government. The Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point responded passing the resolution would not have impact the Federal Government; stated the Federal Government is not subject to local land use; if the Council passes a resolution directing staff to include a zoning designation for Open Space or refuge, the Federal Government would not be affected by that action. The City Manager noted the resolution is just a statement of the position of the City. Councilmember Tam noted there is a statement in the General Plan supporting the Wildlife Refuge. The Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point submitted a copy and read an excerpt of the General Plan statement related to the Wildlife Refuge. Councilmember Daysog inquired if the U.S. Fish & Wildlife (USF&W) is still involved, to which the Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point responded in the affirmative; stated under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, the Navy or any other federal entity Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 10 February 19, 2013 | CityCouncil/2013-02-19.pdf |
