CityCouncil | 2018-02-20 | 19 | funds paid back by developers, not at the expense of residents; urged Council to allow voters to vote on the issue; stated that she would like specificity for the categories; putting off the infrastructure needs is delaying a crisis. The City Manager stated fiscal neutrality language can be added to the ordinance; language about the Climate Action Plan can be added to Section 2; the definition of infrastructure and capital project and the percentages of the categories can also be added; repair and/or replace can be added for Fire Stations 2 and 5, as well as language identifying the waterlines at Alameda Point and the Police substation on the West End. Councilmember Matarrese noted that he is willing to go past 11:00 p.m. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated the City Clerk clarified one more meeting can be added. Councilmember Matarrese stated the 75 word ballot question is fine; suggested removing the qualifier that states: "The forgoing improvements are referred to herein as the "Project" and include, but are not limited to projects identified in City's capital plans;" "but not limited to" should be stricken because the funds should only go towards infrastructure and capital plans listed in currently approved City projects; the Climate Action Plan and the Transportation Plan being only capital improvements associated with the plans should be in large letters; the Assistant City Attorney's analysis regarding fiscal neutrality is correct. *** (18-100) Councilmember Matarrese moved approval of continuing the meeting past 11:00 p.m. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft seconded the motion. Under discussion, Mayor Spencer stated that she does not support the motion, but would consider a time certain and adding one more meeting. The City Clerk stated the Sunshine Ordinance states more regular meetings have to be added; currently, there are 22 regular meetings per year, the number would need to be increased. Councilmember Oddie inquired whether it would be one meeting every month. The City Clerk responded the Sunshine Ordinance does not state every month; stated it states Council has to increase the regular meetings; the vote has never been taken before. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the current meeting can be suspended. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 19 February 20, 2018 | CityCouncil/2018-02-20.pdf |
