CityCouncil | 2014-07-01 | 16 | Councilmember Daysog clarified this motion is to approve introduction of the ordinance with an addendum to address creative funding opportunities in concert with the community. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft seconded the motion. On the call for the question, the motion carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Daysog, Ezzy Ashcraft, Tam and Mayor Gilmore - 4. Noes: Councilmember Chen - 1. (14-294) Recommendation to Receive the Report on the Initiative Measure to Amend City of Alameda General Plan including the 2007-2014 Housing Element and the Zoning Ordinance to Classify Approximately 3.8999 Acres of Land Adjacent to McKay Avenue as Open Space and Consider Options: Option 1 - Adopt the Ordinance; or Option 2 - Adopt a Resolution Submitting the Ordinance to the Voters, Decide Interest in Drafting Arguments and Direct City Attorney to Prepare Impartial Analysis. The Report on the Initiative Measure and the Fiscal Responsibility Measure [paragraph no. 14-294 were addressed together. The City Attorney gave a brief presentation on the initiative measure and the fiscal responsibility measure; provided copies and outlined corrections to the ordinances and resolution. Mayor Gilmore inquired what clarification needs to be made if Council places the measure on the ballot. The City Attorney responded if Council chooses to adopt the open space initiative, staff recommends language changes to the ordinance: "without alteration" should be added after "The City Council hereby adopts. and "The City Council shall be authorized to take such measures including, but not limited to, suspension or stay of the effectiveness of the initiative ordinance as are necessary to mitigate any other possible detrimental impacts."; the changes ensure consistency in the language and conform to the requirements of the law. Urged more serious analysis of the initiative; stated placing the initiative on the ballot with no analysis of the risk is irresponsible; that does not support a companion measure: Jane Sullwold, Friends of Crown Beach. Stated the issue spun out of control; legal costs continue to accumulate; urged adoption of the measure without a companion measure: former Councilmember Doug deHaan, Alameda. Urged adoption of the initiative or placing the initiative on the ballot without companion measure: Irene Dieter, Alameda.
