(19-230) Recommendation to Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Second Amendment to the Agreement with SCI Consulting Group for a Comprehensive Stormwater Fee Study, Community Survey, and Balloting, Extending the Agreement for Seven Months in an Amount not to Exceed $94,009 for a Total Expenditure Under the Agreement, as Awarded, of $166,513. The Public Works Director gave a brief presentation. Councilmember Oddie expressed concern over the proposed election being inequitable because it excludes anyone who is not a property owner; stated the fee assessed would ultimately be passed onto tenants; all Alamedans should take part in the election. The Public Works Director stated having a general election would raise the threshold from 50% plus one to two-thirds; noted the survey would seek input from people who are not property owners. Vice Mayor Knox White stated there is a timeline to come back to Council; inquired whether Council could decide how to do the balloting when the matter returns. The Public Works Director stated the timeline to come back in July allows the proposed balloting to be done by the end of the year; a voter election would have to be held November 2019, March 2020 or November 2020; the Council could decide how to move forward at the second meeting in July; other options could be included if Council desires. Vice Mayor Knox White inquired what constitutes a statistically valid sample, to which the Public Works Director responded 2,000 to 3,000 responses will be statistically significant and equivalent to polling results. Vice Mayor Knox White noted 2,000 to 3,000 responses might not be demographically representative; stated he expects the survey to provide information regarding responses from renters versus homeowners.
