Councilmember Oddie inquired whether the agreement was previously approved by the Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA) Board, to which the Redevelopment Project Manager responded in the affirmative.

The Redevelopment Project Manager responded said aspect is still being worked out. The Assistant City Attorney stated the parking provision is important to WETA and was discussed at length; there has been agreement to continue to work on the details. The City Manager stated City staff are currently working on parking management; the ferry is part of the priority areas; parking management is very important for ferries; the goal is to have parking available by early September. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated the reason AC Transit does not provide service to areas such as the Main Street Ferry Terminal is due to free parking; paid parking must be implemented in the future; inquired whether WETA will be responsible for hauling away and disposing of dredging materials. The Assistant City Attorney responded in the affirmative; stated hauling and disposal are part of the dredging process. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the responsibility of replacement falls on the City or WETA when submerged pier outlives its useful life and must be replaced. The Assistant City Attorney responded piers are part of the waterside assets and are the responsibility of WETA; stated the distinction of the submerged land is that it is City- owned and any damage caused by WETA actions will be their responsibility. Vice Mayor Knox White moved approval of the staff recommendation and introduction of the ordinance. Councilmember Oddie seconded the motion.
