Vice Mayor deHaan inquired whether Councilmember Tam modified her motion to include starting discussions earlier. Councilmember Tam responded that she has not modified her original motion; under advisement from the Mayor, the Subcommittee would have the option of starting discussions earlier than 2011 if schedules work out; that she thinks it would be very hard pressed for Councilmember Gilmore and her to find time to work with the departments because of going dark in August, having a full schedule in September, October being the election season, and the election is in November; however, every effort will made to do so.

Councilmember Matarrese stated that he always looks for alternatives; he submitted the Council Referral on July 21, 2010 as a proposal for where to go next; new elements have arisen, particularly, taking a look at the Regional Housing Needs Assessment, which is a good place to start; the City would always work with the Navy, Veteran's Administration, and State Tidelands Trust; that he wants a specific plan on how the City will move forward post the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA). Mayor Johnson stated some items [on the Council Referral] have already been done; that her preference would be to have staff come back with options; Council would need to talk about a process; a broader look needs to be taken before specific direction is given.

CityCouncil/2016-01-05.pdf,32 | CityCouncil | 2016-01-05 | 32 | Mayor Spencer inquired whether everyone agrees. Councilmember Daysog responded that he is fine with 25%; stated staff should really scrub the figure to ensure it is correct. Councilmember Oddie noted buildings with one to four units would only be able to evict one unit per year. The Community Development Director stated relocation benefits are the last component; staff has not heard whether there is support for the proposed ordinance or the Mayor's suggestion that there not be a sliding scale based on the length of tenure. Councilmember Daysog stated that he would like to account for smaller landlords; figuring out the correct relocation assistance should take smaller landlords into account. Vice Mayor Matarrese stated that he supports extending the time period; any other benefit should be a matter of mediation. Mayor Spencer inquired whether Vice Mayor Matarrese would not tie the benefit to length of tenancy, to which Vice Mayor Matarrese responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Daysog stated when the matter returns, the staff report should address how staff proposes to deal with the issue of small mom and pop landlords paying the relocation benefit; a conclusion might be that not much could be done, but he wants to see that staff thought about the issue. Councilmember Oddie stated that he is against any special exceptions. Mayor Spencer inquired whether Councilmember Oddie wants the benefit tied to length of tenancy. Councilmember Oddie responded if there are not three votes in favor of the staff proposal, but there are three votes of the Mayor's proposal, he would support it; that he does not want any exceptions. Mayor Spencer stated that she is fine with having no exceptions; she does not want to tie the benefit to length of tenancy and Vice Mayor Matarrese concurred. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she is in favor of the staff recommendation. Councilmember Oddie stated that he could go either way.

CityCouncil/2016-02-16.pdf,32 | CityCouncil | 2016-02-16 | 32 | Councilmember Oddie clarified the point is to not have attorney's coming in arguing for the large corporations. The Community Development Director stated the owner would need to request a reasonable accommodation, which would need to be approved by staff. Mayor Spencer stated ideally, it would have to be someone with ownership interest; in her experience with RRAC hearings the property managers say no to everything, she would like someone who is not being paid to show up and be a placeholder; she would like a meaningful mediation. The Community Development Director stated staff could leave the language as is and deal with the idea of a reasonable accommodation as part of the administrative regulations. Mayor Spencer stated all five Councilmembers are in agreeance with doing so. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated the staff report indicates the RRAC mediation process allows consideration of numerous factors; she would like stronger language, such as must instead of may; she would like to specify the type of documentation that would be acceptable in the bullet points. The Community Development Director stated that the proposed changes would be in the RRAC checklist. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated it is very important to have specific information gathered by the RRAC and specific materials considered; inquired why the RRAC would not be required to consider the same factors that the arbitrator would consider. The Assistant City Attorney responded staff tried to outline the form the RRAC would use; stated the extra items are listed for the arbitrator because it is more complex and would be used by a hearing officer, not the RRAC. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she agrees with the extra documentation being given to a hearing officer; they will have the ability to analyze documents. The Assistant City Attorney stated staff did not want to turn the RRAC into a hearing process; the form requires a certain amount of information that should be ample for the Committee to render a reasonable decision.

CityCouncil/2017-07-05.pdf,32 | CityCouncil | 2017-07-05 | 32 | Councilmember Matarrese stated that he does not want a first reading on an ordinance just yet; the survey and polling are critical to understand the community's opinion; he would like to understand how to gauge the revenue and other things that go along with a cash economy. Mayor Spencer moved approval of the referral, incorporating the comments from all Councilmembers. Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion as written in the referral. Under discussion, Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated Council has given staff a lot of direction and she does not see what a vote tonight will accomplish.

CityCouncil/2017-07-18.pdf,32 | CityCouncil | 2017-07-18 | 32 | The Community Development Director responded the proposed project has a 15% universal design requirement; Catellus has committed to adding the accessible shower to ensure that the 15% of the units will be universal design. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated Mayor Spencer is requesting higher than 15%. The Community Development Director responded 15% was negotiated with Catellus; Council can ask about increasing the universal design requirement. Mayor Spencer inquired whether Council can require 30% universal design. The Community Development Director responded there is an existing Development Agreement (DA); Catellus does not have to comply with subsequent changes. Mayor Spencer stated Catellus is asking for an amendment. The Community Development Director responded Catellus is asking for an amendment to the Master Plan; stated staff negotiated 15% universal design units. Mayor Spencer inquired since whether staff could have required 30% universal design since Catellus is asking for an additional 400 homes. The Community Development Director responded staff negotiated and the proposal is the end result. Mayor Spencer inquired whether Catellus is refusing to do the 100% visit-ability and 30% universal design, which is what the Commission on Disability Issues is requesting. The Community Development Director responded in the affirmative. Tom Marshall, Catellus, responded Catellus has to make the project feasible. Mayor Spencer stated serving the disabled in the community is important. Mr. Marshall stated the developer is aware of the question and cannot support the request. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the developer is going to set a price range on the units. The Community Development Director responded the 10% affordable by design would not be deed restricted; stated staff is not recommending the units be deed restricted. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the developer is willing to commit to the non-single family homes being limited to 55 and over.

Vice Mayor Vella expressed concern with the $2 million going into PARS because the $2 million is not going into a Section 115 Trust. The Finance Director stated the Section 115 Trust and PARS is one in the same. Vice Mayor Vella inquired whether the $2 million is going towards the retirement and not towards the OPEB, to which the Finance Director responded in the affirmative; stated the City is contributing $3 million to OPEB and contributions are done biweekly through payroll. In response to Vice Mayor Vella's inquiry regarding the total amount going into OPEB, the Finance Director stated $10.7 million in the OPEB account. Vice Mayor Vella stated that she would support the recommendation provided there is something that ensures the City is continuing the obligations relative to the OPEB contribution; inquired where the $2 million is in the current budget. The City Manager responded the $2 million would added to the budget going forward. Vice Mayor Vella stated the City is in the middle of a two year budget cycle. The City Manager responded that Council has a choice to add the $2 million to the 2018-19 budget at mid-cycle or with the biannual 2020-22 budget. Vice Mayor Vella inquired where the $2 million is going to come from in the current budget; stated that she would prefer the 50/50 hybrid; she would like to discuss the matter further at budget time.

CityCouncil/2018-06-05.pdf,32 | CityCouncil | 2018-06-05 | 32 | so original motion failed due to a lack of second. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft moved adoption of the resolution with modifying the language to: "that the Alameda City Council urges the Acting City Manager and appropriate staff to work with the public sector unions at the City of Alameda post a Janus V. AFSCME Supreme Court case decision by cooperating to mitigate impacts and by engaging in good faith discussions, which could include implementing membership cards and release time for rank and file union leaders to explain the implications of a Janus decision," which is a little less specific direction and leave open the possibility that there could be more items that could be addressed. Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion. Under discussion and in response to Vice Mayor Vella's inquiry, Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated by changing the language, the Council is not providing specific direction to staff, but is suggesting the topics; there could be other issues that have not been contemplated because the decision has not been seen. Vice Mayor Vella inquired whether the intent is include the specific things, to which Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Oddie inquired whether the word negative was removed, to which Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft responded that she did not mean to remove the word negative. Vice Mayor Vella inquired whether the language could be changed to "which could include, but not be limited to stated that she is trying to understand the intent. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft responded that is the intent. In response to Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft's inquiry, the City Attorney stated that she prefers the language in the motion because it is not as directive and leaves the door open to other things that will support the unions' position. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated her motion stands. Mayor Spencer inquired whether saying "could include" means it does not have to include the specific items listed, to which the City Attorney responded in the affirmative; sta… | CityCouncil/2018-06-05.pdf |

CityCouncil/2019-12-18.pdf,32 | CityCouncil | 2019-12-18 | 32 | City Council Workshop Workshop Report Management Partners reasonable steps have been taken to avoid a forced transition and recognizing a parting based on "irreconcilable differences" is always better than an "ugly, contested divorce" (in an "ugly divorce,' both parties end up looking bad), keep the following in mind: - Keep it professional. - Don't unnecessarily damage the manager's reputation- it is not needed to make a change. - Provide a reasonable period of time for the manager to find another position or provide reasonable severance-it takes time to find a manager's job. - Remember, how you handle the transition of the current manager will have an impact on the quality of the candidate pool for the next manager. Summary/Conduding Thoughts: An unstable council/manager relationship has negative consequences for the city council, the manager, the organization and the community. A positive and mutually supportive relationship will increase the odds of having a high-performing and successful city. Councilmembers and the manager need to make creating, supporting and sustaining the relationship a high priority. If made a high priority, the odds of success are great. Remember that your service on the city council is a unique honor that has been bestowed on you by your fellow citizens. While it is often a challenge, with inherent difficulties, someone needs to do it and your community has selected you for that responsibility. You have been selected to serve in a professional and honorable manner, during good times and bad. Your service on the city council will be over soon enough. Conduct yourself in a manner that will allow you to look back with pride-not only for what you accomplished, but also the way in which you conducted yourself (which will likely be remembered the longest).
