Accepted. (16-336) Ordinance No. 3156, "Amending the Alameda Municipal Code by Adding Section 2.24 to Article II of Chapter Il Related to Emergency Organization and Creating the City of Alameda Disaster Council as Required by State Law to Obtain Legal Recognition as an Official Emergency Organization.' Finally passed. Stated the Charter provides that the Mayor may take command and govern the City by proclamation in the event of an emergency; the ordinance conflicts with the Charter and gives the same power to the City Manager; urged clarification of the ordinance language: Paul Foreman, Alameda. The City Attorney stated that she provided information to the Council; she disagrees with Mr. Foreman's interpretation of the ordinance and Charter; Section 6-1 of the Charter was adopted in 1937 prior to the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP); the City is in compliance with the Charter and there is no conflict. Councilmember Daysog stated the purpose of a Disaster Council is to have a game plan in place before a disaster; Charter Section 6-1 allows the Council to designate that Mayor in charge of Police and Fire; the point of having a disaster plan is so Council would not have to pull the trigger of Section 6-1; he is in favor of Section 3-12 which gives the Council the ability to determine emergencies; the plan is being put in place now so that things are not done on the fly in the event of an emergency. In response to Mayor Spencer's inquiry, the City Attorney stated the Disaster Council meetings are subject to the Sunshine Ordinance and are open and public. Mayor Spencer stated that she is concerned because the change completely removes City Council representation on the Disaster Council; three of the Disaster Council members listed do not live on the Island, including the Police Chief, Fire Chief, and City Manager; all Council members live in Alameda; a letter from former Mayor Johnson recommends increasing the role of Council on the Disaster Council; the Mayor does not support eliminating Council's role.
