PURPOSE OF SUBCOMMITTEE & MEETING SCHEDULE: Subcommittee members provided a brief background of the subcommittee's work and purpose and noted the next meeting would be tentatively scheduled sometime in February. ORAL COMMUNICATION: none. CITY/SCHOOL DISTRICT ISSUES - CITY PRIORITIES: Alameda Point - Next Steps Staff members from the City and the District noted there is a meeting scheduled in December to discuss the process moving forward and the existing agreement on the 12-acre parcel. Next steps include drafting initial revisions. Staff further noted the City agreed to limitations regarding housing; housing never pays for itself; demand for services increases while the rise in property tax decreases; current number of new houses to be added; and both entities working together on the generation rates. Redevelopment Funds Staff noted this issue relates to housing, specifically with the pass-through arrangement agreed-upon over 13 years ago. Since that time, the pass-through fund has accumulated almost $4M for affordable housing. There is interest from both entities in exploring strategies for use of these funds. District staff noted the District's interest in obtaining the funds without having to serve as landlords as originally intended. The District may have an interest in selling that land. Both entities further discussed the inability to do a rider. The City will share legal opinions with District staff prior to their meeting on December 7th. if at that meeting an agreement cannot be reached, the suggested course of action is to have Superintendent Vital and City Manager Russo sit down and see how this issue can be resolved. If not, this item will be brought back for further group discussion at the next Subcommittee meeting. Tidelands City staff proposed resolving the Alameda Point issue discussed earlier prior to discussing strategies to deal with the Tidelands property issue. Scoping of the Tidelands issue will also be part of the discussion when staff members meet on December 7th. | SubcommitteeoftheCityCouncilandSchoolBoard/2011-11-28.pdf |
