CityCouncil | 2014-07-01 | 7 | fees is important; Alameda is hard pressed for funding resources; an RFQ was sent out for Alameda Point; developers should know the exact costs per acre; bifurcating is not fair to future developers and sends the wrong message; staff needs to be sensitive and aware of the developments already in the pipeline and do a better job of outreach. Councilmember Tam inquired how many potential developers with projects in the pipeline attended the public meetings and how were they contacted. The Public Works Administrative Management Coordinator responded there were at least two developers with projects in the pipeline at the public meeting; stated all developers were contacted via outreach to the Chamber of Commerce, commercial realtors, brokers, local developers, and by following up with the BIA; everyone was provided the same information. The Community Development Director stated the initial outreach was with the Chamber of Commerce; staff sent information to the commercial brokers list which included at least two members of the BIA; a day after the public meeting, she personally phoned all home builders with active projects to give them a heads up; she personally presented the fees to the Economic Development Board of Realtors and Government Relations Committees. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired how many developers were contacted personally, to which the Community Development Director responded four key projects: 1) Andrew Warner, City Ventures, Oak Street and Hangstrom Project; 2) Grant Reid, Lennar Marina Cove II;3) Scott Roylance, Boatworks; and 4) Del Monte. In response to Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft's inquiry, the Community Development Director stated Andrew Warner of City Ventures and a representative for Alameda Marina and Shipways attended the June 21st meeting. In response to Councilmember Tam's inquiry, the Community Development Director stated the developers were aware of the initiative and are working with members of the BIA.
