CityCouncil | 2022-03-15 | 15 | Noes: 2. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft called a recess at 9:58 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 10:12 p.m. *** REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS (22-184) Presentation by the Alameda Point Collaborative on the Alameda Wellness Campus on McKay Avenue. Doug Biggs, Alameda Point Collaborative, gave a Power Point presentation. (22-185) Vice Mayor Vella moved approval of allowing an additional five minutes for the presentation. Councilmember Knox White seconded the motion, which carried by the following roll call vote: Councilmembers Daysog: Aye; Herrera Spencer: Aye; Knox White: Aye; Vella: Aye; and Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft: Aye. Ayes: 5. *** Mr. Biggs completed the presentation. Councilmember Knox White stated the buildings are over 75 years old; people not connected to the property filed an application for historic monument status; inquired whether there is any impact. Mr. Biggs responded an application was submitted to the State Parks Department and will be considered on April 29th; stated the application to list the property on a National Register of Historic Places will not impact the project; the application was draft, incomplete and failed to disclose key points of the project; federal law does not allow privately owned property to be listed on the National Registry over the objections of its owners; the General Services Administration (GSA) objected to the listing; in 2003, GSA completed a 106 Assessment to determine historic suitability; the State Preservation Officer affirmed the property is not suitable for listing; the draft application is going against the objections of the owner and the State's previous determination. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated the construction schedule for the respite center might be later than July due to East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD); stated that she marshalled the support of fellow Mayors; inquired how something EBRPD is doing could hold up construction; noted that she serves on the subcommittee of the City Council and EBRPD. Mr. Biggs responded the end date of September 2023 will remain the same; stated EBRPD is replacing sewer lines going down McKay Avenue; having EBRPD complete the work prior to starting the project would be much easier; currently, EBRPD uses the Wellness Center's sewer lines, which will be separated; the street will be closed, which will make it difficult to start construction; at a meeting a couple of days ago, EBRPD indicated the project might be delayed, which would allow construction to go forward.
