CityCouncil | 2016-11-15 | 10 | The Assistant Community Development Director gave a brief presentation. Mayor Spencer inquired whether there will be a street Bohol Circle Lane. The Assistant Community Development Director responded the name Bohol Circle Lane is already being used at Alameda Landing; stated the street is already built with street signs up and people living on the street. Mayor Spencer stated that she was at a Filipino-American event and people were inquiring about the street name; stated there should be some type of event to ensure people are aware that the Bohol Circle Lane already exists. Suggested using Filipino names of people who have passed so no new information about the individual would not distort the reputation; urged Council to really think about which names will be used in the naming of streets: Cynthia Bonta, Alameda. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated the six streets that need to be named are located in the former Naval Air Station; she does not support deviating from the City Council's policy, which the Planning Board followed, to name the streets after US Navy airplane squadrons or ships. Vice Mayor Matarrese stated the Planning Board followed the process, using the approved list; a name should be submitted to be on the approved list so that it can be selected from the list; there are three more developments on the West End that could use names from the list. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft moved approval of upholding the Planning Board decision to name certain streets at Alameda Point. Vice Mayor Matarrese seconded the motion. Under discussion, Councilmember Oddie stated Alameda has a strong history and heritage of the Navy and service members; he supports the Planning Boards decision. Councilmember Daysog stated he will figure out another way honor Mr. Fortuna. On the call for the question, motion carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. Mayor Spencer called a recess at 8:57 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 9:07 p.m. CITY MANAGER COMMUNICATIONS (16-599) The City Manager announced the winner of the "Love Our Island Cuisine"; Regular Meeting Alameda City Council November 15, 2016 | CityCouncil/2016-11-15.pdf |
