CityCouncil | 2015-09-15 | 13 | Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft suggested going down the list and voting on one item at a time. Mayor Spencer noted that all Councilmembers agreed to Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft's suggestion. Alameda Point Buildings: Mayor Spencer stated her preference is to fund building demolition now and get reimbursed later. Councilmember Oddie inquired when the work could be started, to which the Interim City Manager responded the project has to be re-bid, which could take another six to eight weeks. Councilmember Oddie stated loaning money from the General Fund may not have to happen if the project has to be rebid anyway. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated it could mean another item on the list would have to wait a little longer. The Chief Operations Officer - Alameda Point stated the rebid could be done fairly quickly; the four bids received had technical inconsistencies, the issue could be brought back in November or December; suggested a back-up plan: Council could take funds from the item now and give direction to staff to put the funds back if not needed. Vice Mayor Matarrese stated funds could be pulled from the $4 million economic uncertainty contingency. The Interim City Manager clarified the Alameda Point buildings line item will use funds from the economic uncertainty/contingency fund with the understanding that funds will be reimbursed. Councilmember Daysog the economic uncertainty is essentially a portion of the reserve being held in order to bump up the reserve ratio to 25%. Vice Mayor Matarrese moved approval of taking $575,000 from the economic uncertainty/contingency fund for the Alameda Point building demolitions, with the stipulation that it will happen all at once and the funds be reimbursed. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft seconded, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. Deferred Maintenance: Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 12 September 19, 2015 | CityCouncil/2015-09-15.pdf |
