SubcommitteeoftheCityCouncilandSchoolBoard | 2012-03-19 | 2 | Vacant Building HAHS The Subcommittee noted interest in Kofman Auditorium is a separate issue and not part of the pools discussion. The Subcommittee noted that in the event of a major earthquake, only the Kofman lobby and auditorium have been retrofitted aside from the student classrooms. District staff has been directed to look for interim space for the District Office but vacating the site will require fencing around the area. The Board plans to hold larger public meetings to discuss the cost of retrofitting vs. tear down costs. A member of the public noted that a single swim center would have to figure out how to accommodate students at both comprehensive public high schools. Report on Redevelopment With the dismantling of redevelopment agencies, the Subcommittee discussed the City as a successor entity with 80% economic development and 20% affordable housing with the Housing Authority serving as a separate entity. The City will be putting together an oversight Board of 7 members. The Subcommittee noted the school board has nominated Board Member McMahon to serve on the oversight Board. The District and the City will discuss two agreements - Mastick and the pass through ($4M) before the oversight Board meetings. Staff will meet at the end of the month to discuss these issues further and are working jointly on a resolution. Tidelands, Eagle Avenue, Next Steps The Subcommittee noted the redevelopment agreement between the City and the District is an unusual one and required more engagement and discussion of options. A member of the public asked about the proposed Project Leaf community garden idea for the former Island High School site on Eagle Avenue. The Subcommittee noted staff is waiting to hear back from the state regarding a $2.5M grant to develop the property. The Subcommittee noted that the District must follow the law in terms of how surplus property is disposed of and the District has little control over who owns the property and no discretion to prefer one project over another. Alameda Point Next Steps The Subcommittee noted that the disposition strategy will be going before the Planning Board in 12-18 months and that City staff will be consulting with the District to discuss where the District would like acreage. Currently the set aside site is near the proposed business park, and the District may prefer to be located closer to the residential areas. The Subcommittee noted prior to going before the Planning Board, staff will work with the District on the location of the 12 acres; this project is at least 4 years away. Rollover MOU for Pools for 2012-13 The Subcommittee noted the MOU expired in June and suggested a rollover. The Subcommittee noted that lead abatement is not part of the agreement and added that staff is hopeful some nonprofit and/or community organization would be willing to help support the lead abatement fix. New Business None at this time. Adjournment President Sherratt and Mayor Gilmore adjourned the meeting at 9:57 AM.
