SubcommitteeoftheCityCouncilandSchoolBoard | 2016-06-27 | 2 | B. AUSD and City Coordination with Developers to Address Potential Impacts Shariq Khan gave a brief presentation. The AUSD will be sending a formal request the District be included in the CEQA process, so that Environmental Impact Reports are received by the District in a formal notice. Gray Harris inquired whether there has been discussion on where students would be attending school, to which Mayor Spencer responded in the negative. Shariq Khan stated AUSD has been receiving information from the Development Review Team (DRT) meetings on a regular basis. The AUSD also has a demographer to generate student generation rates to determine which schools they will attend. Mayor Spencer stated the information is usually provided after the City approves the project; the AUSD should provide input sooner; expressed concern that the schools are full and lotteries may be needed. In response to Gray Harris' inquiry, Shariq Khan stated there are schools that have room, including Paden which can accommodate 300 more students, Ruby Bridges can take 70 more, and Maya Lin can take 300 more. Mayor Spencer inquired about Middle and High School vacancies, to which Shariq Khan responded Encinal High School, including Junior Jets (middle school), can accommodate approximately 300 more students. The Superintendent stated student enrollment can increase with the development of Alameda High School, which will create more spaces at Encinal High School. There will be an opportunity to right-size schools that are under-enrolled. Shariq Khan stated formalizing the relationship with the Navy and CEQA will allow the District to get the CEQA documents ahead of time to evaluate any impacts and notify the City in a timely manner. The Subcommittee discussed concerns regarding school-placement issues other Cities are facing. The Superintendent stated the law does not provide any way for the District to guarantee any particular school placement. The Base Reuse Director stated department staff coordinated the EIR for Alameda Point very closely with the prior Superintendent. Shariq Khan stated Alameda's student generation rate is not as stable compared to other cities. In response to Mayor Spencer's inquiry about affordable housing, Mr. Khan stated he does not have the information at hand but will follow up. The Community Development Director stated once information is compiled from the demographer and other pertinent issues such as the economy, etc., the Subcommittee could meet again to discuss further with a more complete picture. C. Community Solar Rebecca Irwin gave an update on Net Energy Metering and energy efficiency projects being done in the schools, including Energy Plus, a program for commercial customers. AUSD was an early participant of Energy Plus. LED lighting retrofits for exterior areas, gyms, and multipurpose rooms will provide AUSD an estimated cost savings of $65,000 per year; and an estimated AMP rebate of $87,833. Barry Leska gave a brief presentation and provided a handout on Alameda Municipal Power's (AMP) Net Energy Metering (NEM) program and Community Solar program. He stated the NEM program is coming to an end; AMP had a State mandated commitment to install 3.6 megawatts. AMP will make a proposal to the Public Utilities Board on the Successor Program at the July meeting. The Community Solar program is 90% defined. AMP is working with Community Development for the site, and an RFPs for system supply and program management will go out in the fall. The program is modeled for future AUSD partnership. 5.
