CityCouncil | 2013-11-05 | 12 | properties. Councilmember Tam seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. (13-509) Presentation on Exclusive Negotiation Agreements (ENA) for Alameda Point Development Projects. * Councilmembers Tam left the dais at 10:37 p.m. and returned at 10:39 p.m. The Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point gave a brief presentation. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired how do you determine the appropriate length of an ENA. The Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point responded the complexity, size, and location of the proposed projects will determine an appropriate length of the ENA. The City Manager stated other agencies involvement is another factor in determining the length of the ENA; there is a second public process of whether or not to engage in the DDA. The Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point concurred with the City Manager; stated the business cycle is on an upswing and Alameda needs to be aggressive about timelines. In response to Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft's inquiry, the Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point stated development at Alameda Point is risky, uncertain, and expensive; completing due diligence will require funding; that she would recommend charging a nominal deposit; the project is unique; the amount should not be set so high that potential parties may be dissuaded. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether some of the deposit would apply to cost recovery, to which the Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Chen inquired what is the process for a potential developer to get an appointment with the City Manager or the Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point. The Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point responded anyone can make an appointment with her and/or the City Manager by calling or emailing. Councilmember Chen stated Alameda is using an ENA process instead of an RFQ process; inquired if Alameda would be able to reach out to all the local, regional and international developers through an ENA process.
