Abstention: Councilmember Chen - 1. (13-229) Public Hearing to Consider Resolution No. 14807, "Confirming the Webster Street Business Improvement Area for Fiscal Year (FY) 2013-14 and Levying an Annual Assessment on the Webster Street Business Improvement Area." Adopted. Councilmember Daysog announced that he would recuse himself and left the dais. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she believes there is a typo in the staff report which says the Consumer Price Index increase will raise the projected annual Webster Street BIA collection total to approximately $47,000 on page 1, then, on page 12, it says the estimated BIA revenue for 2013 to 2014 is $37,000. Ms. Young responded that Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft is correct; the BIA assessment for 2013-2014 is $47,000. Councilmember Chen moved adoption of the resolution. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. (13-230) Recommendation to Endorse a Preferred Conceptual Plan for a Passive Recreational Use Program at the Future Alameda Beltline/Jean Sweeney Open Space Park. The Recreation Director gave a Power Point presentation. Councilmember Tam inquired if there are some specifics on the endowment fund concept. The Recreation Director responded in the negative; stated right now there are just ideas; other models have not been actively pursued because the focus has been on developing concepts and seeking initial funding; ongoing maintenance needs to be taken into account. In response to Councilmember Tam's further inquiry, the Recreation Director stated that she can provide better estimates once the basic uses are known; tonight's meeting is to determine about passive uses versus more active uses; maintenance costs would be significantly higher if there are soccer fields, rather than trails, playgrounds and community gardens. Councilmember Tam noted a cost recovery component pays off capital costs by passing on charges to the teams using fields; stated the same cost recovery cannot be done with trails or more passive uses.
