CityCouncil | 2015-03-03 | 15 | Councilmember Daysog stated that he supports the proposal; it is important to move forward. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft concurred with Vice Mayor Matarrese and Councilmember Daysog; stated a fire station that will serve all of Island is important; having appropriate facilities is a high priority for public safety. Councilmember Oddie stated that he concurred with his colleagues. Mayor Spencer stated that she appreciates the bid process to save money; that she is not satisfied with the answer regarding use of the General Fund; Alameda's multi-year budget indicates future deficits; Alameda has the highest unfunded Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) liability in the County at 140% greater than the annual General Fund; it is incumbent upon staff and the Council to determine where funds should come from; she would prefer to wait to go through the budget process. Councilmember Oddie moved approval of the staff recommendation to adopt plans and specifications and authorize a call for bids for Fire Station No. 3, No. P.W. 12-14-18. Councilmember Daysog seconded the motion, which carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Daysog, Ezzy Ashcraft, Matarrese and Oddie - 4. Noes: Mayor Spencer - 1. (15-167) Recommendation to Award Contract in the Amount of $256,292 to Cultivate Studio and Urban Planning Partners (UPP), Inc. to Prepare the Main Street Neighborhood Specific Plan for Alameda Point (AP). The Project Manager gave a Power Point presentation. In response to Councilmember Daysog's inquiry, the Project Manager stated the specific plan does not allocate housing units but allows flexibility by creating a framework in which development can happen; the plan discusses financing issues and will give a sense of housing density, but does not directly apportion housing units in certain neighborhoods. Councilmember Daysog stated the type of units could have fiscal impacts in terms of revenue generation. Councilmember Oddie inquired what exactly is going to be in the specific plan. The Project Manager responded the specific plan includes chapters on building and street typology, which address the physical nature of the space and the look and arrangement of open space; stated the plan also includes a financial analysis, strategies necessary to move forward, and a chapter on constraint issues such as seismic and flood plain.
