Presentation by Friends of the Wildlife Refuge - An Update of Their Activities at Alameda Point. A power point presentation was made by Leora Feeney, Chair of FAWR, and Eli Saddler, Conservation Director for Golden Gate Audubon, to update the Board and community on the resources at the Alameda proposed Wildlife Refuge to ensure the resources are protected while transfer negotiations continue. Eli Saddler thanked the Board for the opportunity to present the update and encouraged them to do whatever possible to protect the resource. He expressed concern about the current plans that have been proposed that are within the area that was considered in the Biological Opinion. They want to continue to work cooperatively with the VA to protect the resource and honor the veterans at the same time. Member deHaan commented on how nice it is to look at the maturity of the site, referring to the photos included in the presentation. He asked if the resources, the ponds and wildlife area, are getting to a better state. Ms. Feeney replied that the ponds are wonderful, but t… | AlamedaReuseandRedevelopmentAuthority/2007-10-03.pdf |

Also, the first magazine issued by the National Wildlife Refuge Association included an segment on Alameda and asked the FAWR to be an affiliate of theirs. Member deHaan asked how successful the mating pairs have been up to this point. Ms. Feeney summarized the progress of the lease tern colony, explaining that Alameda has the sixth largest colony in the world, but that we are isolated from the other colonies (most in Southern Ca). Member Matarrese really enjoyed the pictures included in the presentation and appreciates the fragility of the ecosystem of the site. He discussed another upcoming item on the Agenda, Site 1, an uncharacterized waste pit which is adjacent to the Wildlife Refuge, and the importance of addressing the clean-up issues and how it relates to the water-borne life of the refuge. Mr. Saddler added that once construction begins at Alameda Point, it would inevitably impact how the clean-up is managed. Vice Chair Tam asked if they have seen some of the latest conceptual plans from the VA. Mr. Saddler said that he and Ms. Feeney met with the VA and were able to see three versions of proposed plans. They were concerned that the new concepts proposes the area between the proposed Golf course and the refuge site as a buffer zone, but also expressed their desire to stay engaged with the VA and keep things in perspective as to what's best for Alameda, what's best for the Veterans and what's best for the wildlife. Member Matarrese clarified that the VA is a fed-to-fed transfer, and not the Alameda development. Member deHaan recommended the Board receive periodic updates of the VA's proposals and requested a briefing. Member Matarrese agreed and asked whether the updates can be obtained officially. Deputy Executive Director, David Brandt, stated that there is no official proposal available yet from the VA. Member Matarrese requested that when there is an official proposal, he would like the Board to see it. The Board agreed. 3-B.

Ms. Potter clarified that the USF&W are not pursuing ownership of the property at this time and that if the Navy goes forward with the property transfer to the VA, the Navy will retain clean-up obligations for the property. Vice Chair Tam questioned what SunCal's follow-up with the VA has been to this point regarding the site, if their dialogue with the VA includes potential alternative sites. Ms Potter responded that SunCal has had one additional follow-up meeting with the VA and that SunCal is aware of their need ultimately, and that this issue is a key item on SunCal's Project Master Schedule. It is noted that Chair Johnson arrived at this point in the discussion (7:52 p.m.). Ms. Potter gave her update on SunCal, including that the first two community meetings have been scheduled, the first on 10/24 at Mastick Senior Center. The agenda for this meeting includes introduction of SunCal and their partners to the community, framing the project and their approach to the project, and site constraints. A second meeting is tentatively scheduled on 12/12 at the O'club to solicit feedback from community regarding the range of development scenarios, and their key focus to continue surveying property and preparing to do sampling - the technical work to support the land-planning effort. Member Matarrese asked if we're on track with zoning issues. Ms. Potter explained that she has prepared an off-agenda report discussing that the status of the public trust designation protects us more than locking in zoning, and recommends that staff not do anything ahead of the entitlement process. FM requested that this item be agendized. Chair Johnson asked if the mortgage crisis is a risk to SunCal. Ms. Potter said that SunCal has reassured they are not impacted by that crisis. Chair Johnson wants to be kept updated of SunCal's activities regarding the project. This report was for information only. No motion or action was required. 3-C.

COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE GOVERNING BODY Member Matarrese was contacted by a member of boating industry regarding development in Jack London Square that will displace their annual boat show in 2009. The representatives are interested in another venue for the boat show and are looking at Alameda Point. Member Matarrese expressed that this would be a great thing to pursue a boat show of that magnitude, and that it would be an economic boom for our city. He requested a report when/if this can be done. Executive Director, Debra Kurita, said that ARRA staff has been in discussions with the representatives of the boat show and will update the Board with information. 7.
