CityCouncil | 2014-11-18 | 17 | Mr. Ernst stated his group would agree to the language to the extent they have control over the TDM, but that the TDM is supposed to be a Citywide program. The City Manager stated Council cannot negotiate the DDA tonight; the vote is on the ENA; the discussions are exactly what the ENA process needs to flesh out; suggests Council use language which states: "consideration will be given to develop a contingency plan for an appropriate payment as part of the project in the event the TDM plan does not meet goals." Councilmember Daysog concurred with the City Manager on the appropriate language. In response to Councilmember Daysog's inquiry, the Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point stated the pro forma could include a break-down of retail uses by product type. Councilmember Daysog stated that he is satisfied with the amendments. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft requested a report regarding the Planning Board and Planning Board Subcommittee's conclusions and recommendations be brought to Council before May. The Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point stated staff would provide the report; inquired whether the request is Council direction or should be added to the ENA. The City Attorney responded staff has heard Council direction. Mayor Gilmore concurred with the City Attorney; stated Council always has the ability to direct staff at any time. Councilmember Daysog stated the ENA is a contractual document and that he is satisfied if direction is included in the ENA. The City Manager stated a process details how the Planning Board works; proposed that staff provide a public report every 6 weeks during the process; if issues arise regarding the terms of the DDA, there would be a public airing of the issues; Council can provide direction to staff. Councilmember Daysog concurred with the City Manager's suggestion. Mr. Ernst stated that he has no objection to giving Council updates; inquired whether Council already has the right to direct boards and commissions. The City Manager responded Council is giving staff direction on a periodic nature of a public report on the status of the process.
