CityCouncil | 2019-04-16 | 20 | Vice Mayor Knox White and the Interim Assistant City Manager gave a brief presentation. Vice Mayor Knox White requested Council input on pro-rating the funding paid based on use. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft noted the timing is fast; the committee meets every week; a staff report will return on the May 7th Council meeting. Vice Mayor Knox White stated the second question is location; the two preferred locations are: 1) rebuilding at the Emma Hood site, which could accommodate a facility similar to El Cerrito, and 2) Thompson Field, which would require relocating the football field and would add a couple of years to the process. Councilmember Vella stated that she is fine with the cost sharing, which is within the parameters of what was anticipated; she thought Council talked about having a more robust discussion of the sites. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the staff report could include all the sites that were reviewed, to which Vice Mayor Knox White and the Recreation and Parks Director responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Vella requested the information reviewed by the subcommittee be attached to the staff report; inquired whether the proposed facilities are indoor or outdoor, which can be answered later, and if access would be limited during school if the facility is at the High School. The Recreation and Parks Director responded the Alameda High School Principal is on the subcommittee; daytime use [during school hours] is only a problem at Encinal High School because of the pool location; the City was not interested in daytime use with Alameda High School pool in the current state. Councilmember Vella inquired whether there would be a separate public entrance, to which the Recreation and Parks Director responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Vella inquired whether the agreement would allow daytime use, to which the Recreation and Parks Director responded in the affirmative; noted to footprint would be expanded into the tennis court area. Councilmember Daysog stated the site should be the Emma Hood facility; the tennis courts east of the pool have extra space and the pool could expand without sacrificing the tennis courts; tennis courts to the south also have unusually long depth so southward expansion could also be done. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired about the cost sharing, to which Councilmember Daysog responded that he is fine with the cost sharing.
