CityCouncil | 2013-09-17 | 15 | how the City would phase funding maintenance; and whether requiring a payment to maintain infrastructure after 10 to 15 years would be fair if a business has already paid a premium upfront. Mr. Edison responded that he considers the infrastructure in three segments: 1) putting it in the ground; 2) maintenance and other municipal services costs; outlined possible mitigations; 3) lifecycle replacement; stated the City's current sewer and water rates take care of costs over a longer term. Mayor Gilmore stated that she looks forward to seeing figures. The Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point stated a number of fiscal impact analyses have been done; Mr. Edison is reviewing prior studies and will update the amounts. The City Manager stated another public session should be schedule prior to adoption of the MIP and Council should submit questions in writing to allow responses to be included in the report. The Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point stated staff would strive to bring the matter back in November and would provide the draft fiscal impact analyses at said time. Councilmember Tam suggested annual maintenance costs and lifecycle replacement issues be included in the MIP, rather than in a separate report; requested information on sea level rise projections, including annual fees and timelines; stated that preventing cannibalism of existing buildings and businesses should also be discussed, but could be done outside the MIP. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft discussed sea level rise; requested the final report address whether sufficient assumptions are being made beyond the next 30 years; stated that she likes the concept of complete streets and connecting to existing grid, but wants to ensure connectivity among developments; provided an example of different development not connecting in Harbor Bay; inquired whether the public would have an opportunity to submit questions. The City Manager responded staff would like to answer the public's questions, which must be reasonable. Councilmember Chen discussed the reuse area; stated that he would like to convey the message that tenants are valued; language about improving the infrastructure is too broad and should be revised; discussed cleanup; inquired how planning and infrastructure can be scheduled without knowing when cleanup will be complete. The Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point responded the sites will be cleaned up; reviewed the conveyance scheduled; stated planning takes into consideration any possible restrictions; the environmental consultant has good estimates.
