CityCouncil | 2016-06-07 | 11 | Councilmember Daysog stated that he is satisfied that a lot of work has gone into the program and if changes need to be made, staff will do so accordingly; one suggestion from the public was to incentivize good behavior by offering carpool only or family friendly parking spots. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she asked Public Works to look into the parking that is between the two child care centers by the ferry; she would like to try satellite parking to see if the pressure on the neighborhoods can be alleviated; people should have a place to pick up a reliable free shuttle; she would like to see the program implemented in a gradual manner; people should be incentivized to take the ferry by offering free shuttle pick up spots. Councilmember Oddie stated that he is in favor of giving the HOA the authority to approve a parking permit program; Council does not have a lot of control over charging for the parking at the ferry site. Councilmember Oddie moved approval of the proposed plan for the Harbor Bay Ferry Terminal Parking and provide direction on amendments to Alameda Municipal Code Section 12-17. Vice Mayor Matarrese seconded the motion. Under discussion, Mayor Spencer stated that she will support the motion; safety has to be the number one priority. Vice Mayor Matarrese stated what staff proposes is incremental and the HOA will hold additional meetings to flush out details; he is anxious to hear about the details given the comments made by Councilmembers that should be taken into consideration. Councilmember Daysog stated satellite parking is a great idea. On the call for the question, the motion carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Daysog, Matarrese, Oddie and Mayor Spencer - 4. Noes: Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft - 1. Vice Mayor Matarrese moved approval of directing staff to bring back an ordinance with the suggested recommendations for official hearing. Councilmember Oddie stated he thought the first motion approved the staff recommendation, and included everything, but if the Vice Mayor wants to have a second motion, he is fine with doing so. Councilmember Oddie seconded the motion. Under discussion, Councilmember Daysog requested the motion be amended to include Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 10 June 7, 2016 | CityCouncil/2016-06-07.pdf |
