Ayes: 5. (21-382) Introduction of Ordinance Approving a Second Amendment to the Lease with Greenway Golf Associates, Inc., a California Corporation, for Chuck Corica Golf Complex to Adjust Lease Area to Include the Old Fire Training Tower. Introduced. The Recreation and Park Director gave a brief presentation. Councilmember Herrera Spencer inquired whether the additional language for housing constitutes a waiver of the City's obligations under City Charter Section 22-12; requested clarification of the process related to obligations; stated whether or not part of the property would be determined as park land is unclear; requested clarification about whether staff made a determination and how to ensure the matter is not considered a waiver. The City Attorney responded the provision included in the lease is not a waiver of rights for the City or public under Charter Section 22-12; stated staff has shared a confidential memorandum to the Council regarding how Section 22-12 potentially applies to the site; if Council desires the matter be further discussed in public session, a vote will need to be taken. Councilmember Herrera Spencer stated that she would like to know how the language related to protection would fit into the agreement in order to ensure the process in writing versus verbally. The City Attorney stated Council can achieve the result in a couple of ways; the motion could clarify the language is not a waiver of any rights for the City or public; if Council wants to be more clear, direction may be given to staff to insert language to the effect within the lease agreement; the insertion would be unusual; however, staff is happy to do so if Council so chooses. Vice Mayor Vella inquired which improvements the City would have to reimburse Greenway Golf for if the City takes the property back; questioned the limits on improvements Greenway Golf could make. The Recreation and Parks Director responded all improvements are to be recommended by the Golf Commission, staff, and the Planning Board; stated any improvements from existing conditions would be reimbursed. The Chief Assistant City Attorney stated the Board and Commission approvals are meant to act as a buttress against exorbitant renovation costs. The City Manager stated Greenway Golf is open to language which states Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 4 June 1, 2021 | CityCouncil/2021-06-01.pdf |
