CityCouncil | 2022-03-15 | 18 | Councilmember Herrera Spencer stated a Councilmember brought up a previous item that she does not think is relevant to this item; inquired whether she could discuss why she voted no on the previous item, but will be voting in favor of this item. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft responded the City Attorney would let Council know if discussion veers into Brown Act danger zones. The City Attorney stated Councilmember Herrera Spencer could use prior experience to explain how she will vote in this case; everything should be related to the current matter, but prior agenda items could be used to inform the decision. Councilmember Herrera Spencer stated that she voted against allocating $9 million under the previous agenda item, which she does not think is appropriate to discuss at this time; she is happy to see this item move forward; prior Council policy requires funds be spent at Alameda Point; the rest of the City will not be imposed upon to complete Alameda Point projects; the people did vote on how to make progress at Alameda Point; at least one measure failed; Council has tried to hear the public; the fiscal neutrality policy is good, has helped balance the needs of the community at large and forces the City to do heavy lifting and good work. Councilmember Daysog stated when he was elected in 1996, his message was Alameda Point has to pay for itself; money from land proceeds is funneled back into Alameda Point; discussed implementing the fiscal neutrality policy in 2003; stated that he is excited about the project. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft discussed development at Alameda Point; noted the ribbon cutting for the Waterfront Park would be in a few weeks.
