CityCouncil | 2015-10-20 | 27 | Councilmember Daysog stated there is great progress at Alameda Point. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated Alameda is becoming a great place to attract new business. Councilmember Oddie stated Council needs to not lose sight of the big picture; adaptive reuse buildings need a lot of work; Council needs to not micromanage or businesses will not want to come to Alameda. Vice Mayor Matarrese stated periodic reports are a good idea and should continue on a regular basis; the raw data should be provided, including details about square footage, option to purchase and investment in the building in the future; requested reports be provided on a quarterly or semi-annual basis. Mayor Spencer noted Google purchased Makani, which has been an Alameda company since 2006; there is a higher level of due diligence when an action requires four votes. Councilmember Daysog stated it seems that a lot of businesses that come to Alameda are related to existing businesses; inquired if there is a business organization at Alameda Point. The Economic Development Division Manager responded the tenants are working on a business association. Councilmember Daysog requested Council be provided an update on the Main Street District.
