CityCouncil | 2015-01-20 | 18 | Mayor Spencer stated staff could collect data once the five points are implemented; requested the motion be restated. The City Clerk stated the motion is to approve the five consensus points, which would come back with an implementation plan in parallel with taking input from the working group, and recommendations would come back to Council on the sixth point. Vice Mayor Matarrese concurred with the City Clerk's restatement of the motion. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated staff will determine the percentage on point six. The City Manager stated staff will come with a proposal on point six, but ultimately, point six will be a policy determination by the Council. On the call for the question, the motion carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the data issue should be revisited at this point, to which Vice Mayor Matarrese responded in the affirmative; stated the next motion would be to ask staff to prepare a report that answers the questions posed in the September staff report, gathering the necessary data to support the answers. Mayor Spencer stated the response from staff is that a consultant would be needed to gather the data. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft added staff would also contact other jurisdictions with similar ordinances in place. Vice Mayor Matarrese stated the amount of data needed could rapidly inflate; rather than a report, staff could come back with an estimate of what it might cost to answer each question; Council can revisit and refine so that the questions can be prioritized and stay within a budget. Mayor Spencer stated Councilmember Daysog's presentation already provides some information; other sources provide information, including a survey; comments can be submitted to Council and staff to support the work. The City Manager clarified that the data selected will determine the policy decision; stated that he does not want staff to step into a policy choice; what Council chooses to collect is a policy decision. Vice Mayor Matarrese stated it may be helpful to get an analysis of what Council should discuss; Council could make an informed decision about what data is needed if a public education of what the landscape would look like is provided. The City Manager concurred; stated that is exactly what staff would like to do. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 17 January 20, 2015 | CityCouncil/2015-01-20.pdf |
