CityCouncil | 2019-04-22 | 3 | Vice Mayor Knox White stated the City is running into issues with the fiscal neutrality policy; inquired whether the proposed Phase 1 would be able to cover infrastructure costs. The Base Reuse and Community Development Director responded that is the intent; stated two phases of backbone infrastructure are also sequentially occurring in the adaptive reuse area; the issue is timing; the City could escalate the pace of the work by issuing an infrastructure bond; the City has been using building sale proceeds to complete the work; the parcelization is strategic so the infrastructure can pay for itself. Vice Mayor Knox White stated the Master Infrastructure Plan (MIP) has a phasing plan; inquired whether the proposal is consistent with the phasing, to which Mr. Obertello responded in the affirmative; stated the proposal manages connections to reliable facilities in a sequential order. Councilmember Oddie inquired whether underground infrastructure would be done for the Astra buildings, to which the Base Reuse and Community Development Director responded in the affirmative. The Assistant Community Development Director noted Astra could do the work or pay for the City to build it. In response to Councilmember Oddie's inquiry regarding working in contaminated areas, the Base Reuse and Community Development Director outlined the process. Councilmember Oddie inquired about Astra staying, to which the Base Reuse and Community Development Director responded Astra is interested in having an option to purchase once the Navy transfers the land. In response to Councilmember Oddie's further inquiry regarding infrastructure, the Base Reuse and Community Development Director stated long term leases pay the Development Impact Fee and other payments, similar to Nautilus. Councilmember Oddie inquired about the City not owning the land. The Base Reuse and Community Development Director responded the City operates under the Lease in Furtherance of Conveyance (LIFOC) for the land that has not been transferred. The Assistant Community Development Director noted infrastructure might not be able to proceed until after the land has been cleaned. In response to Councilmember Daysog's inquiry regarding end users, the Base Reuse and Community Development Director stated the City is looking at end users; however, not all end users are land developers; an end user might have to partner with a land Special Meeting Alameda City Council April 22, 2019 3 | CityCouncil/2019-04-22.pdf |
