CityCouncil | 2018-01-16 | 15 | Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the severe and major deterioration is shown by the different colors on the presentation, to which the Assistant Community Development Director responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired what the difference is between major and severe. The Assistant Community Development Director responded the description is on page 5 of the presentation; continued the presentation. Councilmember Oddie inquired whether the funds will be out of Base Reuse and future lease revenue. The Assistant Community Development Director responded in the affirmative; stated the funds will depend on who the partner is on the piers; continued the presentation. Gayle Johnson, SGH, continued the Power Point presentation. Mayor Spencer inquired whether staff would schedule the work if the City is interested in doing the replacement, to which staff responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated Alameda is an Island with a working waterfront and she cannot wait to see the kind of tenants that the City will attract; she is prepared to accept the report. Councilmember Oddie moved approval of accepting the report. Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion. Under discussion, Councilmember Matarrese stated the most alarming thing is that he saw the City's MARAD ship at the Port of Oakland; being birthed there, not in Alameda, reduces revenue; he believes the report is timely, extensive and necessary in assessing what to do with the property. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the cost of the dredging is the reason the MARAD ship was moved. The Assistant Community Development Director responded the cost of dredging have gone up; stated the City does not have commercial activity which would help fund the cost; lobbyists have gone to Washington D.C. to try to bring resources to Alameda and make it a non-issue for MARAD for years; staff has been working on the issue. Mayor Spencer thanked staff for the report. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 14 January 16, 2018 | CityCouncil/2018-01-16.pdf |
