CityCouncil | 2020-03-03 | 14 | three developers that previously submitted responses with the matter coming back in May. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the request is realistic; stated the staff report notes staff will return to Council by the end of the first quarter of 2020. The Community Development Director stated the return date is a holdover from a previous staff report; it is the second quarter instead; responded staff can strive to return in May; stated there are constraints with the internal routing process for staff reports; the urgency is understood. The City Manager stated discussed timing to meet the second meeting in May; stated the schedule will cause the Community Development Director to re-orient priorities, which is possible; stated that he has been directed to stick to deadlines; the request is a tight expectation. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated there has been a delay in getting to this point; much of the heavy lifting has already been done; a subcommittee has been worked to develop the RFQ; staff is not starting from square one; Council's number one priority is housing; the project is an integral part of moving forward with Alameda Point development; expressed support for moving with deliberate speed. Councilmember Daysog seconded the motion. Under discussion, Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the motion keeps the rest as proposed in the staff report, to which Councilmember Vella responded in the affirmative. Vice Mayor Knox White inquired whether the item is coming back May 19th, to which the Community Development Director responded in the affirmative. Vice Mayor Knox White stated if the date cannot be committed to, there is no point in not moving forward with the RFQ. The City Manager stated priorities will be re-oriented in the Community Development Department to make the May 19th deadline.
