PlanningBoard | 2021-09-27 | 6 | Danielle Mieler, Sustainability, and Resilience Manager introduced this item and gave a presentation. The staff report can be found at https://alameda.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=5138828&GUID=9EE7404A- B585-461D-956A-0AAFAAF535AE&FullText= President Saheba opened the board clarifying questions. Board Member Rothenberg wanted to know if they would be working with neighboring cities to make sure the plans were complementary and inclusive. She also wanted to know specifically about plans for transportation needs (the tubes) since they affected different regions. Staff Member Mieler discussed the collaborative work they were doing with other organizations and cities that would benefit everyone. She then discussed the funding they had requested for the Posey and Webster tubes and they were working closely with CalTrans on that issue. Vice President Ruiz asked if they had considered including Supply Chain Resiliency and if they had collected data on private wells for the Asset Inventory. She also questioned other items on the Asset Inventory, such as conduits, and wanted to know more about what the plan was for those assets. Staff Member Mieler thought that including Supply Chain Resiliency was an excellent idea. She then discussed that private wells were an asset but not an asset that they were readily able to quantify. For the conduits sizes at some of the developments, she believed that was information they could gather for the final plan. Board Member Cisneros asked about the grants/points collected and reductions. Staff Member Mieler explained the Community Rating System and how homeowners could get flood insurance reductions. She then discussed grants and federal funding that was in the works. Board Member Hom asked about flood management and if Alameda could reach a 7 rating. Staff Member Mieler said she did not have the answer to that but would look into it. She knew it would take a significant increase to get to those higher ratings. Board Member Hom then asked about earthquake retrofits and wanted to know if Alameda would become more aggressive about requiring these retrofits. Staff Member Mieler discussed what the options were now and how they could support and encourage owners to get their buildings retrofitted. She added that neighboring cities had already required these mandatory retrofits for their buildings. President Saheba opened public comments. There were no public speakers.
