CityCouncil | 2015-01-20 | 6 | Mayor Spencer announced the next RAB meeting and encouraged anyone interested to attend. Councilmember Oddie stated the City Council should stay in the loop on clean-up plans; the Site 2 Investigation Report and Feasibility Study comment period will be released in February; one of the criteria is community acceptance; that he recommends a discussion with staff and Dr. Russell about alternatives in February. Councilmember Daysog stated the Bayport community also went through clean-up approvals by federal agencies and the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC); the lesson from Bayport is that Council has to be vigilant and step in when necessary. Vice Mayor Matarrese stated that he was the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority (ARRA) Board liaison to the RAB from 2006 to 2010 and was able to provide comments and questions on Records of Decisions (ROD); that he recommends the Council assign a RAB liaison to report back to the successor organization for Council questions, directions, and comments on the Navy's clean-up activity. Mayor Spencer announced a City Council meeting is scheduled for tomorrow to discuss the process for Council Referrals; inquired who should be contacted if someone has a specific concern regarding clean-up safety at Alameda Point. The Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point responded the point person on environmental issues at Alameda Point is Derek Robinson of the Navy; folks could also contact her; provided contact information. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the public would have access to areas that are not cleaned up to a level that is considered safe. The Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point responded in the negative; stated the Navy is very careful about liability; if an area is not fenced off, it is considered safe; if an area is actively being cleaned up, the Navy would restrict the area. Dr. Russell added that imminent threats are cleaned up immediately; stated some areas of active clean up may be fenced off for construction hazards rather than contamination hazards.
