CityCouncil | 2013-12-03 | 5 | Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired if the technology measurement would be compared to other cities. The City Manager noted the measurements could vary widely between cities; data collected would have to be standardized. Mayor Gilmore stated that she would like to measure how successful Alameda is in deploying new technology, whether it is efficient and provides information and transparency. The Assistant City Manager stated Alameda County City Managers Association Leadership Academy will be reviewing the matter; baseline information would be available in the spring. Mayor Gilmore stated IT tracking does not have to be part of performance measures; but should be tracked to determine whether or not Alameda is becoming more efficient and transparent and if the City is realizing a return on its investment; provided an example: the Council uses iLegislate to receive packets on iPads and the Clerk's office reduced from 40 paper packets to five. Suggested measure should be added regarding disability access and library computers: Carol Gottstein, Alameda. Mayor Gilmore inquired whether there will be public meetings or electronic communications to engage the public regarding the performance measures. The Assistant City Manager responded the City would use both public meetings and communications, to engage as many citizens as possible; stated there at least three meetings will be held. The City Manager stated the public meetings will be held at Mastick, the West End, and Harbor Bay. (13-551) Adoption of Resolution Regarding Project Stabilization Agreement Policy at Alameda Point. Not adopted. The Administrative Services Director gave a brief presentation. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the $2.5 million threshold is project cost as opposed to labor cost, to which the Administrative Services Director responded in the affirmative. The Administrative Services Director stated Tom Marshall of Catellus provided a large scale view of Catellus' experience with Project Labor Agreements (PLAs); Catellus finds PLAs very effective for horizontal construction projects such as backbone infrastructure and streets; for Alameda Landing, the PLA was limited and Catellus allowed it to expire.
