RecreationandParkCommission | 2019-02-14 | 2 | NEW BUSINESS Chair Limoges moved to hear item 7-C first. All Commissioners were in agreement. 7-C Discussion of Alameda Point Campground Concept ARPD Director Amy Wooldridge gave the presentation which included information about the existing condition, concept and options. The goal of the discussion was to get public input about having a public / private partnership campsite which would be a public area. Commissioner Discussion Chair Limoges: Has toured the area and said it's beautiful. Can see both sides of either developing the area with a private partnership or leave it as a park space. Commissioner Robbins: Would like to do a walk through to see the full site and would like to see it become a campground Vice Chair Alexander: She would like to also do a walk through to get a better understanding of the space. Speakers Irene Dieter, Alameda resident: Wants to reopen the campground but suggested partnering with East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD), as they were interested in developing it at one time and that seems like a natural fit. Encouraged not to piecemeal but to have an overall master plan including naming it. Richard Bangert, Alameda resident: Interested in keeping the space as a park and proceed by having a Master Plan. Joe Stack, Owner of Stacked Adventures: It's a unique space that allows opportunities for people to enjoy nature and camping and would like to see it as a campground. 7-A Approve the City of Alameda Transportation Program Plan for Seniors and People With Disabilities for Fiscal Year 2019/2020. Victoria Williams, Paratransit Coordinator, gave the report which included the budget, the planning process, recommended programs, scholarship programs, taxi services and the Alameda Loop Shuttle. Commissioner Discussion Commissioner Robbins: Thinks the shuttle is wonderful. Asked what is the reason for not sharing all the bus stops? Answer: There are some sites that AC transit does not stop at. What if the shuttle buses are not full, can anyone use it? Answer: Yes. Chair Limoges: Bread and Roses is a nonprofit organization that coordinates small bands to play their music at various nursing homes and long term facilities, and it might be interesting to reach out to consider them for useage of the Leisure Bus for transportation. Clarified in the Transportation budget that the term management included the use of consultants. Encouraged to have a shuttle that goes to the Ferry. Commissioner Robbins made a Motion to approve the City of Alameda 2019/2020 Transportation Program Plan as presented. M/S Commissioner Robbins / Vice Chair Alexander / All in favor with a 3 - 0 vote. 2 | RecreationandParkCommission/2019-02-14.pdf |
