CityCouncil | 2015-04-07 | 9 | of Alameda at No Cost and Subsequent Disposition of Property. The Assistant City Attorney and Jillian Blanchard, Rudder Law Group, gave a Power Point presentation. Vice Mayor Matarrese inquired who is responsible for dredging, to which Ms. Blanchard responded the Corp is responsible but has not had to do maintenance dredging; the Corp cannot transfer the dredging responsibility. In response to Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft's inquiry, Ms. Blanchard stated dredging the tidal canal alleviated a mosquito born disease. Councilmember Daysog inquired whether the residential agreement would disclose all issues, to which Ms. Blanchard responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Oddie inquired whether the Proposition 13 legal description of the parcel is a sliver, to which Ms. Blanchard responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Oddie inquired whether the two parcels could be combined, to which Ms. Blanchard responded further research is required to determine what individual property owners might do. Councilmember Daysog inquired whether the City would automatically transfer the property to residents, to which Ms. Blanchard responded in the affirmative; stated the transfer would go from the Corp to the City, and then immediately to the property owners. In response to Mayor Spencer's inquiry, Ms. Blanchard stated it would be necessary for the City to take ownership before transferring the commercial parcels directly to EBRPD for public trust and potential liability issues; removing the Fruitvale Rail Bridge and dredging maintenance would remain a responsibility of the Corp. The City Attorney stated the Corp would retain dredging responsibility no matter who owns open water. Ms. Blanchard concurred with the City Attorney; stated the Corp cannot transfer the dredging responsibility. The Assistant City Attorney concluded presentation. Provided information on the Kirkland survey done in the 1980s; urged the City to move ahead with the transfer: Kurt Braun, Alameda. Urged Council to continue to move forward with the transfer: Anne deBardeleben, Alameda. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 9 April 7, 2015 | CityCouncil/2015-04-07.pdf |
