Adopt a Resolution Supporting the United States Navy's Transfer of 549 Acres of the Former Naval Air Station in the City of Alameda to the United States Department of Veterans Affairs for the Development of an Out-Patient Clinic and Columbarium. The Deputy City Manager, Development Services clarified that the staff report combines an information piece which addresses the VA-NAVY deal, and requires no action; and a 'recommendation' portion to adopt a resolution in support of property transfer to the VA. The Deputy City Manager, Development Services summarized the background of the proposed VA project and property transfer. Member Tam inquired if it was necessary that the resolution exclude the 9.7 acres of the Least Tern colony, to which the Deputy City Manager, Development Services explained that the 9.7 acres is included, along with the buffer zone surrounding the Wildlife Refuge, which is more than half of the 549 acres.

AlamedaReuseandRedevelopmentAuthority/2010-09-01.pdf,3 | AlamedaReuseandRedevelopmentAuthority | 2010-09-01 | 3 | Member Tam brought attention to the alternative resolution from the Golden Gate Audubon Society which includes recognition that there should be protection for the Least Terns, based on a biological opinion issued by the US Fish and Wildlife. Member Gilmore inquired why the VA was requesting 549 acres when they only require approximately 100 acres for their project, to which Mr. Jaynes replied that the Navy stated the transfer would be the 549 acres or nothing. Mr. Jaynes further explained that it is not part of the VA's mission to manage that portion of property, so the VA is planning to have a separate agreement with the USF&W to oversee the remaining 449 acres, just as the Navy has the same agreement with them right now; the funding will come from the VA instead of the Navy. Member Matarrese inquired if the property was transferred to the ARRA, could the ARRA then dispose of it to the VA, to which the Deputy City Manager, Development Services responded in the affirmative. Mr. Jaynes expressed that there may be stumbling blocks without proceeding with the BRAC process. Member Matarrese inquired whether the city will be able to participate in the VA project process, to which the Deputy City Manager, Development Services responded in the affirmative. Member Gilmore requested more details from the VA regarding what their plans are with USFW, and the proposed annual budget, so that it does not become an afterthought. Member Tam suggested adding the language from the Golden Gate Audubon Society regarding the protection of the Least Tern colony to the ARRA Resolution. Vice Chair deHaan moved for approval of Item 3-A, with a revision to the Resolution adding "Whereas, the City of Alameda will continue to prioritize the protection and conservation of the California Least Tern in its planning documents and decisions". Member Matarrese seconded the motion, which carried by a unanimous voice vote: 5 Ayes. 3-B. Presentation: Alameda Point - 'Going Forward'. The Interim City Manager announced that Item 3-C will be combined w… | AlamedaReuseandRedevelopmentAuthority/2010-09-01.pdf |

The Board will have an opportunity to augment the timeline in more detail after subsequent discussions and at subsequent meetings. Member Matarrese stated that on strategic alliances, the regulators should be recognized, the EPA & DTSC for clean-up, and USF&W for the environmental. Regarding policy questions, Member Matarrese also expects certain questions to resurface, i.e., finances and how tax increment might be used, where the shortfalls are, how they will be backfilled, and where there are opportunities for early transfer for land that has already been cleaned up. Member Matarrese also suggested looking at the potential for having a citywide Project Labor Agreement (PLA) . There also needs to be discussion about jobs-housing balance, to give an opportunity for public to weigh in on it. Member Matarrese remarked on the notion of using "other peoples money", i.e., funds from the Federal Government and MTC, as these funds could add up. Member Gilmore echoed Member Matarrese's comments and requested to see a primer of what the lease environment looks like in the Bay Area, regarding the asset management application. If the ARRA is renegotiating leases, it would be good to know realistically what the competition is, in order to have a more realistic expectation in terms of putting in more capital into a building or not. In terms of leasing strategy, Member Tam inquired whether or not there is opportunity to adjust the restriction in the LIFOC which says the Navy can give minimal notice to terminate a tenant, recommending that it is something that should be pursued. There was discussion about the amount of documents that have been produced and compiled through the years, and where they are made available to the public on the City and Alameda Point websites. The Interim City Manager stated that staff is working on implementing a new Alameda Point website which will focus strictly on Alameda Point and th… | AlamedaReuseandRedevelopmentAuthority/2010-09-01.pdf |
