CityCouncil | 2016-01-19 | 6 | Department Budgets for Fiscal Year 2015-16 by Appropriating $100,000 from Each of These Funds to Pay for the Citywide Transit and TDM Plans Contract. The Transportation Coordinator gave a Power Point presentation. Councilmember Daysog stated the traffic/transit solutions need to better coordinate; the goal is to encourage people to minimize single occupancy trips and enhance multimodal; urged moving forward with staff's proposal to address traffic concerns around the Posey tube. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she agrees with Councilmember Daysog; traffic is a concern Councilmembers hear about frequently; urged Councilmembers to move forward to find solutions for traffic concerns. Councilmember Oddie stated that he hopes the City uses the TDM plans and existing research; there is robust community involvement on the issue; he feels an ad hoc committee is needed to make suggestions and analyze the data; covenants were made with voters to address traffic problems; he is happy that the City is taking a strong step to come up with concrete solutions. Vice Mayor Matarrese stated that he is ready to support the Citywide approach and feels it is what is needed. Mayor Spencer stated that she does not support the approach; she would like a specific staff person hired to focus 100% on Alameda; when the issue came before Council the first time, the cost was estimated at $200,000; now, the cost is almost $400,000 just for the plan and not any actual work; she would like to honor voters and have something done. Councilmember Daysog moved approval of the staff recommendation. Vice Mayor Matarrese seconded the motion, which carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Daysog, Ezzy Ashcraft, Matarrese and Oddie - 4. Noes: Mayor Spencer - 1.
