CityCouncil | 2013-12-03 | 10 | Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated Perata Consulting has experience and institutional knowledge and would keep the issue in Alameda's control. The City Manager stated he is happy to provide a briefing to Councilmember Daysog on the details of the transportation issues; achieving a solution is high on his list. Councilmember Chen stated that he supports the Legislative Agenda; inquired whether a new crossing could be considered to help mitigate the traffic issue. The City Manager responded the issue could be captured under State and County Transportation Funding; stated Alameda can accomplish a lot if all parties put aside bureaucratic imperatives for a regional solution. The Assistant City Manager stated the total amount the Council is approving tonight is $90,000 because the remaining contracts do not require Council approval; the Rockefeller Foundation grant would be worth three times Alameda's total lobbying budget for State and federal, which is a fantastic return on investment. Councilmember Daysog inquired when an update would be provided to the Council. The Assistant City Manager responded staff talks to the Federal team weekly; stated a progress report from the State level could be provided in a year. Councilmember Daysog inquired if a progress report could be provided in six months instead of a year, to which the Assistant City Manager responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Daysog moved approval of the staff recommendation. Councilmember Chen seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 4.
