CityCouncil | 2018-09-04 | 11 | calculated correctly; stated TLC supports the amendments being in the lease: Alicia Guerra, TLC. In response to Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft's inquiry regarding labor agreements, Ms. Guerra stated the project was approved by right prior to Senate Bill 35; there is not a labor agreement, which could be addressed in lease discussions. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired about the result of efforts to reach union agreements, if any. Ms. Guerra responded that no agreement exists but multiple conversations have occurred; the project is ultimately a residential, mixed-use project. In response to Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft's request for confirmation of there being no labor agreement in place, Ms. Guerra stated there have been discussions; without a lease document in place, no agreement can be made; TLC is open to a labor agreement. Mayor Spencer stated that she would like to continue with the additional public speakers. Stated the City has backed itself into a corner; the road should be aligned with the entrance road; the Clement Avenue extension is a critical part of the Cross Alameda Trail; housing is needed: Brian McGuire, Alameda. Expressed concern over access during an emergency: Carol Gottstein, Alameda. Discussed a collapse at the Brooklyn Basin project; urged Council to vote no until the developer comes back with a labor agreement: David Ross, Alameda. Mayor Spencer inquired if there is a way to ensure the safety of the 589 units. The Assistant Community Development Director responded that he does not believe the City has the discretion to impose said stipulation on private land; if the City were to impose the safety stipulation on private land and it causes a financial infeasibility for the developer, the City could potentially be in conflict. Vice Mayor Vella inquired about the road design and egress. The Assistant Community Development Director responded the reasoning behind the design is for both access and safety. Vice Mayor Vella stated that she is concerned about how the traffic would interact with pedestrians and cyclists; requested information on the Cross Alameda Trail (CAT) and Clement Avenue.
