CityCouncil | 2015-01-21 | 11 | Mayor Spencer stated that she will not support the motion and stands by her suggestion to invite EBRPD to a Council meeting; she is concerned about holding a back room meeting after being involved in litigation; the City should be very public; a liaison committee does not exist; the olive branch should be extended by inviting EBRPD to a Council meeting. On the call for the question, the motion carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Daysog, Matarrese, and Oddie - 3. Noes: Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft and Mayor Spencer - 2. (15-074) Consider Directing Staff to Create a Comprehensive Transit/Traffic Strategic Plan and Implementation Tool. (Councilmember Daysog) (Continued from January 20, 2015) Councilmember Daysog gave a Power Point presentation on the referral. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated Councilmember Daysog's presentation might go a little beyond the scope of a Council referral, which are supposed to be a brief description of the subject to be printed on the agenda sufficient to inform the City Council and public of the nature of the referral; questioned whether Councilmember Daysog is asking Council to take positive action; suggested Council might want to consider directing the City Manager to consider the matter at a special City Council workshop, rather than just coming back to the Council as an agenda item; stated the referral jumped off the page as a framework considering the recent Council discussions on traffic and transit. Vice Mayor Matarrese stated the workshop idea for the topic and the direction Councilmember Daysog is laying out is relevant to all the discussions the City has had about development over the past few years and what the City would have going forward; he would also like to see if Council is interested in making the workshop joint with the Transportation Commission because part of the Commission's job is to take direction from the Council and get into details; Councilmember Daysog provided a sample schematic that could easily be populated by workshop with the Transportation Commission to deliver back to Council. Councilmember Daysog stated maybe the motion should read: "consider directing the City Manager to facilitate a workshop with regards to comprehensive transit traffic strategic planning." Vice Mayor Matarrese stated being comprehensive should not to just considered, but should be established as a goal or deliverable. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired if the workshop would be a joint meeting. Councilmember Oddie stated multiple workshops may be needed; suggested holding a workshop on Bay Farm; stated the idea is great; Councilmember Daysog has suggested Special Meeting Alameda City Council 11 January 21, 2015 | CityCouncil/2015-01-21.pdf |
