CityCouncil | 2019-05-07 | 22 | The AMP Assistant General Manager for Administration stated after a year of full rollout, there will be about $1.9 million in revenue; upon the full rollout of the data center, the use will be about 40% of what AMP currently uses. Mr. Connaughton stated the initial ramp will be about $1 million or more; Phase 1 of the plan is for 10 megawatts of use; AMP has 30 megawatts of available capacity; at 10 megawatts of use, there will be about $10 million annually to AMP; the amount will grow as the project expands. Councilmember Oddie inquired if there is a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) on the construction work, to which Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft responded it is included in the lease agreement. Councilmember Daysog moved introduction of the ordinance; stated that he is satisfied with the regulations in place; staff is being vigilant within the lease agreement; expressed support for the project. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft seconded the motion. Under discussion, Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated the project should move forward to allow Nautilus to go through the regulatory process; requested the motion be amended to have the lease conditioned on Council discussion and input from the Interim City Attorney adding conditions that if serious environmental conditions are discovered, the project will shut down. Councilmember Daysog accepted the amendment to the motion. Vice Mayor Knox White inquired whether the item is to come back with new language to approve, or is Council proposing approving the lease with staff executing the Council and Interim City Attorney recommendations, to which Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft responded with the latter; stated that she believes Council has given sufficient direction. Vice Mayor Knox White stated there are four environmental conditions that he would like to see: 1) as part of the State Water Board analysis that Council is specifically asking to include, not limit, the analysis to include algae blooms and long-term multi- year impacts of warmth to the water; 2) to have weekly ongoing monitoring and reporting; 3) staff may not have sufficient direction of what the Council desires to be monitored; he may not be able to state what exactly should be monitored at this time; and 4) a report back to Council after the State Water Board gives clearance on the project. The Assistant Community Development Director stated the items identified are items staff should monitor; noted the City will learn a lot from the State Water Board about their concerns in order to identify what should be monitored in addition to Council's list; stated another layer of protection may be added by consulting with the City's contracted environmental consultant who assists with Alameda Point cleanup as well as a biologist.
