CityCouncil | 2015-06-02 | 6 | Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft noted the Fire Department has a fire boat which is capable of pumping water from bay. The Interim City Manager stated the Fire Department does not have water tanks; training for use of the fire boat is being done; water from the fire boat cannot reach the entire town; an alternate system needs to be researched and brought back. In response to Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft's inquiry, the Fire Chief stated alternate systems could be researched and a report would be brought back in four months. The Interim City Manager stated parking lot issues could be discussed after the budget. *** (15-378) Mayor Spencer stated a motion is needed to consider the remaining agenda item adoption of the appropriations limit [paragraph no. 15-380]. Vice Mayor Matarrese moved approval [of considering the remaining item]. Councilmember Oddie seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. *** Councilmember Daysog stated West Enders feel shortchanged in CIP items; pavement and new streets being well distributed across town should be made part of the discussion. Councilmember Oddie noted Bay Farm Island is not on the budget map. The Finance Director continued the presentation. In response to Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft's inquiry regarding State legislation, the Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point stated the City has a State lobbyist identifying ways to improve bills and find financing tools for Alameda Point's $600 million infrastructure. Vice Mayor Matarrese stated the State infrastructure bills are impractical for Alameda. The Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point stated mitigating the impacts to the General Fund reduces ability to fund infrastructure through a special tax. Mayor Spencer inquired whether Council is being asked to approve the budget without addressing the parking lot issues, to which the Interim City Manager responded in the affirmative; stated parking lot issues are reserves that do not affect the budget and can be addressed any time.
