Thanked everyone partnering on the project for having a cohesive and clear vision for the community that will be created; stated the housing will have vital services for its residents: Abby Goldware, Mid-Pen Housing. Stated the idea is great and a good use of space; adding density is a reasonable idea: Victoria Fierce, East Bay Forward. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she cannot wait to see shovels in the ground; the Alameda Point Collaborative has done so much with so little for so long; that she would be interested in setting up a trust similar to the Silicon Valley Housing Trust. Vice Mayor Vella stated there is an option to use the City's project stabilization agreement or create a new one; suggested meetings be held with the trades, especially with some of the apprenticeship programs, and local hiring goals be reviewed, particularly disadvantaged resident workers. Councilmember Oddie moved approval of the staff recommendation. Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion. Under discussion, Mayor Spencer stated the 267 units include an additional 67 units; inquired whether the City is recommending the additional 67 units, to which the Redevelopment Project Manager responded in the affirmative.
