CityCouncil | 2014-07-01 | 15 | Councilmember Chen stated if a reserve fund is not feasible, there should at least be a draft plan for wetland creation; that he would also like language added that Building 25 be reevaluated when the park is fully funded. Councilmember Daysog stated that he is wary of being overly prescriptive; being too specific on items happening far into the future would tie the hands of a future Council. Mayor Gilmore stated that she concurs with Councilmember Daysog; when the park becomes fully funded, it will be logical and obvious for a future Council to determine what to do. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft concurred with Mayor Gilmore and Councilmember Daysog; stated many developers have implied that they would take Building 25 out and it does not to be included in a specific plan; that she does not want to tie future Council's hands. Councilmember Daysog moved staff recommendation to adopt specific plan; inquired whether the revised language needs to be drafted now. Mayor Gilmore inquired whether Councilmembers Daysog and Tam's comments were direction to staff or actual language. Councilmember Daysog responded his comments were actual language he wants to add. The Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point suggested the recommendation should be to adopt the plan including the Planning Board recommendations with the exception of Building 25, and adding language to address creative funding opportunities in concert with the community. The City Attorney stated if the language the Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point suggested is acceptable to the Council, it is on the record and staff can draft the language, which will be passed at the second reading. The Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point stated changing the plan is not simple, staff would have to create an addendum sheet and attach to the revised ordinance for a second reading. Councilmember Daysog clarified that his motion is to approve introduction of the ordinance. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether Council was modifying the ordinance. The City Attorney responded in the affirmative; stated Council is approving the ordinance with the addendum sheet. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 14 July 1, 2014 | CityCouncil/2014-07-01.pdf |
