CityCouncil | 2018-07-24 | 14 | Mayor Spencer inquired whether her comments would be incorporated in the motion, to which Councilmember Matarrese responded the comments are considerations going forward. Mayor Spencer inquired whether changes would not be made in response to the comments, to which Councilmember Oddie responded the comments could be incorporated in the background and the Plan could be adopted as written. Councilmember Matarrese stated that he has no problem with the comments, especially being used a measurement tool; the Plan is written and has been vetted; the background report would be informative as the Plan is tracked. Mayor Spencer stated that she will not support the Plan; she does not think it is appropriate that the Council does not get to provide input. On the call for the question, the motion carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Ezzy Ashcraft, Matarrese, Oddie and Vella - 4. Noes: Mayor Spencer - 1. (18-444) Recommendation to Receive a Progress Report on the Public Access Pathways on Fernside Boulevard and East Shore Drive. The Recreation and Parks Director gave a brief presentation. In response to Mayor Spencer's inquiry regarding Council input, the Recreation and Parks Director stated the matter would come to Council after the Recreation and Parks Commission. Mayor Spencer suggested the matter be on the Council agenda twice; the first time for feedback, followed by a decision; stated that she would like the City to consider doing business in such manner to allow Council to modify documents. The Recreation and Parks Director completed her presentation. Councilmember Oddie inquired what is being done about safety, to which the Recreation and Parks Director responded the Police Department has increased patrol; stated a person was apprehended after a recent incident; neighbors should call the Police as often as needed. Councilmember Oddie stated the neighbors are being subject to problems the longer the matter drags out. The Recreation and Parks Director noted the report includes some safety recommendations, which can be implemented prior to the full construction. Councilmember Oddie stated that he would like to see action sooner. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 10 July 24, 2018 | CityCouncil/2018-07-24.pdf |
