Mayor Johnson convened the Special Meeting at 9:17 p.m.
Roll Call - Present: Councilmembers deHaan, Gilmore,
Matarrese, Tam and Mayor Johnson - 5.
Absent: None.
X09-1257 Recommendation to approve Agreement appointing Ann Marie
Gallant as Interim City Manager.
The Human Resources Director gave a brief presentation.
Councilmember Matarrese inquired whether there is no overlap
between the proposed Contract and the existing Interim Finance
Director Contract.
The Human Resources Director responded in the affirmative; stated
the Interim Finance Director Contract ends the day the proposed
Contract is accepted.
The Assistant City Attorney stated the Contract includes language
about "consolidating departments as deemed necessary and
appropriate;" suggested Council add the phrase "consistent with the
City Charter and Alameda Municipal Code" following said language;
stated the Charter has a provision that departments shall be
established by ordinance, which puts authority under the Council;
the City has such an ordinance; the ordinance would have to be
revised if the number of departments were reduced or if departments
were combined.
The Human Resources Director stated the Contract could be changed.
Vice Mayor deHaan moved approval of the Contract, including the
proposed language.
Vice Mayor deHaan stated it was a delight to see such supportive
references regarding Ms. Gallant's leadership capabilities; that he
has not seen that many positive references before; that he looks
forward to working with Ms. Gallant.
Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion.
Under discussion, Councilmember Gilmore stated that she has found
the Interim Finance Director direct, capable and competent; Ms.
Special Meeting
Alameda City Council
Apxil 1, 2aag
Gallant has done a phenomenal job and has made great strides at
making the budget more transparent; however, she will nat support
the motion; the decision is not fiscally responsible; the City has
not done salary comparisons; the previous City Manager's Contract,
which was done almost four years ago, was used'; in a time of
increasing budget crisis, the budget allocation for the City
Manager position would be increased by over $75,000 in the current
fiscal year and $90,000 in the next fiscal year; other departments
will be asked to tighten their belts and might face layoffs; a
selection process was nat followed; the Contract is for a minimum
of two years and allows for automatic renewal; there are no clear
expectations for performance and no objectives or goals without a
selection process; the last City Manager resigned over a difference
in direction; the City might be on the road to repeating past
mistakes; when offering a job, the Council should put a person in a
position to succeed, not fail; the League of California Cities has
people available to serve as interims; the Council has not done its
due diligence and looked at what is in the market place; Ms.
Gallant has done such a good job in putting the City on the right
track to being fiscally responsible and her focus should not be
diverted; in addition, the City would be looking for a new Finance
Director a month or so before the budget is due.
Councilmember Tam stated that she would not support the motion;
that she concurs with a lot of Councilmember Gilmore's points; that
she has done reference checks; references find Ms. Gallant capable
and competent in the area of finance; that she agrees Ms. Gallant
should be considered for the interim position, however, the ends do
not justify the means; Ms. Gallant informed the subcommittee of her
goals for consolidating departments, including layoffs, and looking
at different aspects of fiscal sustainability; that she is not sure
said goals would sustain City service levels in the long-term; a
competent Finance Director is needed given the City's size and
complexity; the City Manager should not serve in the role of the
Finance Director; clear performance objectives have not been
articulated.
On the call for the question, the motion carried by the following
voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers deHaan, Matarrese and Mayor
Johnson - 3. Noes: Councilmembers Gilmore and Tam - 2.
Vice Mayor deHaan stated that he would put in the record
information on total compensation from the Public CEo Newsletter,
which indicates the salary amount is well within the range far
cities of similar size.
Mayor Johnson stated the cost of the Interim City Manager position
would not increase and would actually be going down slightly.
Special Meeting
Alameda City Council
April 1, 2009
The Human Resources Director stated the amount would go down around
$6,400.
Councilmember Gilmore stated the entire amount budgeted for the
position would be increased because it would stem across two
people; the spending for the position would increase; some funding
would be coming from another General Fund account, which she would
like to discuss when the Council addresses the budget.
Mayor Johnson stated that she did not want the public to think the
Interim City Manager would be paid more than the previous City
Manager; the City is paying a severance package pursuant to the
prior City Manager's Contract; invited Ms. Gallant to comment.
Ms. Gallant commended Councilmembers for taking the vote that they
felt was important to them; stated working with Councilmembers on
the budget and improving transparency has been wonderful and will
continue; that she would speak with each Councilmember about
expectations during the interim period; Councilmembers will have an
opportunity to address what they would like to see accomplished;
that she appreciates the support and work that has been
accomplished during the last eight months.

the market recovers and is best for the City.
The Interim City Manager responded small haulers operate by margins
of 5 to 15a profit; stated large carriers operate by a margin of 25
to 35o profit; small and medium size haulers are affected by the
decline in recyclables; small haulers should remain in the market
for competition; that she thinks the proposed extension is good for
both parties.
Vice Mayor deHaan stated the City contracted with Waste Management
to dispose of green waste; inquired whether ACI is still
contemplating taking over the operation.
Mr. Pellegrinni responded a third party processor accepts organic
materials; stated the County is looking at a processing facility;
the City has the right to redirect the material to an in-County
facility.
Councilmember Gilmore stated an incredible amount of work, effort
and time went into the proposed Agreement; the proposed Agreement
allows for working with owners of multi-family units; most resident
complaints are about the number of bins on the street which crowd
sidewalks; using larger bins would results in getting back parking
spaces.
Regular Meeting
Alameda City Council 5
April 7, 2009
Proponents ~In favor of staff recommendation: Robb Ratto, Park
Street Business Association; Marilyn Schumacher, Alameda.
Councilmember Tam stated the extension ensures competition, which
keeps ratepayers from being at the mercy of one monopoly; Alameda
has the highest recycling rate; the City would get 750 of revenues
if the rate goes above $80 per ton, which puts a cap on future
profitability.
Councilmember Tam moved approval of the staff recommendation.
Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion.
Under discussion, Councilmember Matarrese stated the benefit of
extending the term to 2022 allows for alternative fuel vehicles and
allows potential for capturing future profit sharing when the
market recovers; ACI is a leader in recycling and providing direct
service.
Councilmember Gilmore stated ACI does not have a seat at the
bargaining table; bargaining is handled through Waste Management;
ACI has a "me too" clause and is required to follow whatever Waste
Management negotiates.
Councilmember Matarrese stated Local 70 sets the prevailing wage
for garbage haulers because Waste Management is the prevailing
provider.
Councilmember Gilmore stated the City has always had a policy of
encouraging contractors to pay prevailing wage.
On the call for the question, the motion carried by unanimous voice
vote - 5.
Vice Mayor deHaan inquired whether ACI's facility is still open to
the public, to which Mr. Pellegrinni responded in the affirmative.

Memorandum
To: Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
From: Ann Marie Gallant
Interim City Manager
Date: April 21, 2009
Re: Authorize the City of Alameda's Continued Participation in the Alameda
County Lead Poisoning Prevention Program for FY 09-101FY 11-12
BACKGROUND
The Alameda County Lead Poisoning Prevention Program ACLPPP} is a Joint Powers
Authority to which the Cities of Alameda, Berkeley, Emeryville, and Oakland belong.
The Joint Powers Authority was formed in 1991 to deal with what public health off cials
say is the number one environmental threat to children. It is estimated that one out of
nine children under age six has enough lead in hislher blood to be considered at risk.
The Joint Powers Authority is governed by a board of directors, which is comprised of
representatives of the four cities, a member of the County Board of Supervisors, and a
community representative, and meets monthly. Mayor Johnson serves as the City of
Alameda's representative to the Joint Powers Authority Board of Directors.
The ACLPPP's primary mission is to prevent childhood lead poisoning by educating the
public, identifying and assisting lead-poisoned children, and reducing and abating lead
hazards. The program is funded by an annual fee of $10 per residential unit constructed
before 1918; the ACLPPP received approximately $620,849 in fees from Alameda
property owners during the last three fiscal years. These funds have been leveraged
into the receipt of more than $615,429 in State and Federal funding, fvr a total of
$1,295,838 in services to Alameda properties over this same three-year period.
DISCUSSION
In the attached report, ACLPPP highlights a number of activities that occurred during
the past three fiscal years, and addresses potential areas for continued collaboration in
the coming period. In the past three years, as part of ACLPPP's Department of Housing
and Urban Development THUD} Round 13 Primary Prevention effort, the City of
Alameda was able to safely renovate 32 residential units. in a recent action, the City
Council authorized the City's partnership with the ACLPPP in HUD Round 16 lead
hazard control grant funds to remediate an additional 25 units.

Agenda Item #4-C

Honorable Mayor and April 21, 2009
Members of the City Council Page 2 of 3
In the last three years, Development Services Department DSD} staff have been
accountable for the initial assessment, project design and monitoring of HUD-funded
lead hazard remediation activities in the city. In addition to the abatement of lead-based
paint ~LBP} hazards in the HUD grant units within Alameda, other non-eligible units
have been assisted for compliance with Federal lead regulations as a part of
Community Development Block Grant ~CDBG} funding requirements. DSD staff has
taken the lead as the City's in-house consultant and resource contact for construction
projects involving lead-based paint. Additionally, since the 2005 change in Title 17 lead
regulations, staff has coordinated Building Services and Fire Prevention's response to
lead hazard complaints from residents as well as proactively increased awareness and
compliance by property owners and contractors with State regulations protecting
residents from the dangers of lead poisoning. ACLPPP has been invaluable in their
assistance, helping ACLPPP, Building Services, and Fire Prevention staff meld their
response to best protect Alameda residents.
Alameda is the ideal training ground for lead-related construction and hazard
remediation activities because more than 64 percent of the existing housing stack on
the main island was constructed prior to 1950. The majority of the older housing is large
Victorian structures with aging paint and structural systems. In addition, remodeling
efforts involving a significant number of these buildings present the chance of lead-paint
exposure. DSD staff maintains California lead certifications through numerous
Continuing Education offerings.
ACLPPP provided services that assisted property owners in the reduction of lead
hazards and the prevention of childhood lead poisoning. ACLPPP also offers
consultations and property owner awareness and education activities. These activities
included 114 on-site evaluations andlor distribution of lead test sampling kits; seven
lead-safe home renovation classes; 24 homeowner awareness presentationslevents;
hardware store outreach; and media-related outreach. In promoting these services, staff
from ACLPPP successfully collaborated with many Alameda neighborhood
associations, hardware stores, libraries, and various City departments. During the last
fiscal year, approximately l4 Alamedans utilized the ACLPPP's information line, and
24 households used the loaner High Efficiency Particulate Air ~HEPA} vacuums to do
lead-safe clean-up projects. In becoming part of the Joint Powers Authority, the City
committed itself to participation for three years. In 1991, 2000, 2003, and again in 2006,
the City renewed its participation for an additional three years.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
This program is funded by a fee from pre-1918 built homes and by State and Federal
grants. No impact to any City fund is anticipated.
REC4MMENDATIaN

ALAMEDA COUNTY LEAD POISONING PREVENTION PROGRAM
City of Alameda's Continued Participation in the Alameda County Lead
Poisoning Prevention Program
UVERVIEw
The City of Alameda's housing stock presents a particular lead risk to its residents with
more than 16,000 housing units built before 19b0, when lead-based paint was widely
used. Mare than 70 % of all housing units in Alameda were built before lead was banned
for residential use by the Consumer Products Safety Commission in 1978. Approximately
5,800 of Alameda's children are under the age of six, and therefore most at-risk for lead
poisoning,
On October 15,1991, the Alameda City Council formally joined the County Service Area
(CSA} of the Alameda County Lead Abatement District, ether participating cities in the
CSA include Berkeley, Emeryville, and Dakland. The $10 CSA fee for each pre-1978
residential unit was established to fund the program in 1992. The fee has not been
increased in the County Service Area's 18 year existence.
Since 1992, the City of Alameda has played a crucial role in the development of the
Alameda County Lead Poisoning Prevention Program ~ACLPPP} and the Joint Powers
Authority ~JPA} that governs it. Presently, Mayor Beverly Johnson represents the City of
Alameda on the JPA Board of Directors.
The Alameda City Council has voted nine times to continue its participation in the CSA,
most recently on April 4, 200b, when Alameda's participation was extended for an
additional three years,
PRUGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS
July 1, 200b---June 30, 2009
Most of Alameda's historic Victorian homes have multiple layers of paint with high
levels of lead. Keeping these homes maintained and using lead safe work practices when
renovating is critical to preventing lead exposure. Both children, who are particularly at-
risk, and adults can be exposed to high levels of lead dust during renovation activities,
resulting in acute lead poisoning.
The ACLPPP provides Alamedans the resources necessary to identify and safely handle
lead hazards in their homes. It provides free one-on-one consultations, on-site visits,
HEPA vacuums; classes in lead-safe painting; lead test kits, public awareness education,
and other services to assist Alameda property owners prevent lead exposures.
Since July 1, 200b, County Service Area funding has provided Alameda owners of pre-
1978 residential properties with 781n-Home Lead Consultations, 114 lead-safe painting
kits, and seven lead-safe painting and remodeling classes, rt has provided lead education
at 24 Alameda public events,
ALAMEDA COUNTY LEAD POISONING PREVENTION PROGRAM
More than 1,300 Alamedans received the ACLPPP's comprehensive Guide to Lead Safe
Housing, and more than 3,500 Environmental Protection Agency booklets were made
available to Alameda rental property owners for distribution to their tenants, as required
by federal statute.
The ACLPPP has responded to 279 information line calls, and addressed 37 unsafe
renovation calls from Alameda residents. A total of 46 households have used the
ACLPPP's HEPA vacuum service to clean up lead dust,
Alamedans are among the more than 105,920 visitors who accessed the ACLPPP's
website for information on lead poisoning and healthy housing over the last three years.
Alamedans can now sign up for an In-Home Consultation or take the Lead Safe Work
Practices Quiz online.
Educational outreach includes all paint and hardware stores in Alameda; literature racks
in libraries, municipal offices and community centers. The ACLPPP works with a
number of organizations and agencies in the City of Alameda to increase lead awareness
including the Alameda Youth Collaborative and Alameda Hospital.
The ACLPPP has also provided training for family case workers and Head Start
providers at Alameda Family Services. It also conducted parent presentations to the
Rosalie Sterling Center and the Washington School Head Start Programs. And, the
ACLPPP conducted two presentations on the dangers of childhood lead exposure to
teenage mothers at Island High School.
During the last three fiscal years, the Program has collected approximately $620,809 in
fees from owners of pre-1978 residential Alameda units. These fees were used to
leverage an additional $675,029, far a total of $1,295,838 in services to Alameda
property owners over this same three-year period,
The ACLPPP has leveraged this funding from federal, state and private foundations such
as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development THUD}, the California
Department of Public Health, and private foundations such as the Kresge Foundation.
Qn September 21, 2005, the Program was awarded its sixth HUD Lead Hazard Control
grant. This grant provided lead hazard reduction services, while increasing local capacity
to address lead hazards and promoting lead-safe practices. As part of these activities, the
ACLPPP negotiated a contract with the City of Alameda Development Services
Department, in the amount of $157,912, with $125,000, to finance lead hazard reduction
in 25 units of low income housing, and $32,912 to reimburse the city for the lead
evaluations and clearances it provides.
Over the three-year grant period, the ACLPPP funded 38 risk assessmentlpaint
inspections, and financed lead hazard control in 321ow-income housing units in the City
of Alameda. Three of the units remediated were associated with lead poisoned children.
2
ALAMEDA COUNTY LEAD POISONING PREVENTION PROGRAM
Also during this period, the ACLPPP's health team has provided case management and
other services to 10 Alameda families with lead exposed children,
In addition, under the Program's second HUD Healthy Homes Demonstration Grant, the
ACLPPP conducted environmental interventions to address allergens, pests, moisture,
and other asthma triggers, as well as safety issues, in five Alameda homes where a child
had been diagnosed with asthma or respiratory distress,
Presently, the ACLPPP is working with Alameda's Building Services and Fire
Departments to develop a coordinated and effective response to the growing number of
resident complaints about unsafe renovations and possible lead exposure in Alameda.
Gn Goober 23, 2008, the ACLPPP was awarded its seventh HUD Lead Hazard Control
Grant, The ACLPPP is continuing its close working relationship with Alameda's
Development Services Department and has agreed to a three-year contract with the City
of Alameda to provide financing of up to $174,772 for lead testing, lead hazard control,
and associated costs, for 25 more units of low-income housing,
ACTIVITIES AND SERVICES
Public Education and Outreach
The Program's public education and outreach activities are designed to increase
awareness of the dangers of lead exposure and other housing related health hazards, and
provide residents with information on haw to prevent exposure. These activities are
funded by the local County Service Area ~CSA} fee, the California Department of Public
Health ~DPH}, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development THUD} and the
Kresge Foundation.
To promote public awareness about lead, healthy housing, and the Program's services,
the ACLPPP utilizes media spots, distribution of literature at locations in Alameda and
through participation in local events, making presentations to parent and community
groups, and maintaining an interactive website,
written materials are available to assist property owners, contractors and realtors in
complying with Federal notification and disclosure rules for leasing, sale or renovation of
pre-1978 properties.
The Program website at www.aclppda.org is an important place for people to obtain
information about lead poisoning prevention, program services and healthy homes, The
ACLPPP regularly updates the website to make it more interactive, user-friendly, and
accessible, so that people can sign up for Program services, including In-Home
Consultations, classes, and trainings.
In order to increase the knowledge of parents, property owners, painters, teachers and
others interested in learning more about the sources of lead, how to prevent lead
poisoning and creating healthy homes, the ACLPPP provides presentations to local
3
ALAMEDA COUNTY LEAD POISONING PREVENTION PROGRAM
community, neighborhood, property owner and parent groups as well as medical and
childcare providers, Lead safety presentations cover a range of topics including lead-safe
painting and remodeling, prevention take home lead exposures for workers, and
complying with lead regulations, Phone consultations are available to any Alameda
resident through the Program public information line which answers questions about lead
poisoning or healthy housing. Experienced, knowledgeable staff person answer a range of
questions including those relating to the health effects of lead exposures, what blood lead
levels mean, how to test a home or product for lead, and ways to safely remediate lead
hazards.
In-home lead consultations are available to owners of Alameda residential properties
built before 1978. The consultation includes a visual survey and recommendations for
addressing possible lead hazards. Property owners may also receive a lead testing kit for
paint, dust, or soil and HEPA vacuums may be borrowed from the program to clean up
during renovation.
For callers reporting unsafe renovation activities in Alameda that affects residential or
child-occupied facilities, the ACLPPP provides guidance on assessing potentially unsafe
practices, educational materials and referrals, as needed, to local enforcement agencies.
The ACLPPP calls property owners andlor contractors to explain the need for lead safe
work practices, and, depending on the potential risk and as resources allow, visits the site
to provide education to the owner or contractor. The ACLPPP shares information with
the City of Alameda Building and Fire Departments to promote compliance with lead
safety regulations.
In the spring of 2007, the ACLPPP took the lead in organizing the Get the Lead Out
Coalition of the Bay Area which consists of representatives of lead poisoning prevention
agencies from 11 counties in the Greater San FranciscolGakland Bay Area. The mission
of the Coalition is to eliminate lead exposure for all children affected by lead hazards in
the environment by collaborating with organizations to educate, increase awareness, and
affect policy change. Since inception, the Coalition has conducted three mass media
campaigns on radio and television and received several grants to carry out lead poisoning
prevention activities. The Program will continue working with the Get the Lead Gut
Coalition to increase awareness through-out the Bay Area.
Lead Safe work Practices Training
The ACLPPP offers lead-safe work practices training to workers and contractors so they
can ensure that children, occupants, neighbors, and workers are not exposed to lead
during renovation of pre-1978 buildings. Because of funding available from the Kresge
Foundation grant, for a limited time the Program will offer the HUD-EPA-approved, 1-
day Lead Safety for Remodeling, Repair, and Painting at no charge to Alameda property
owners, residents, and businesses,
The ACLPPP offers the basic one-day training course for lead-safe work practices almost
every month. The ACLPPP is also astate-accredited training provider and offers the
three-day Worker and two-day Supplemental SupervisorlProject Monitor courses that are
4
ALAMEDA COUNTY LEAD POISONING PREVENTION PROGRAM
pre-requisites for certification in those disciplines. In response to new federal regulations,
the Program will apply to EPA for accreditation as a provider of the Lead Sae or
Renovation Re air and ~aintin course required for certified renovators under the new
law.
Lead Poisoned Children
The California Department of Public Health-Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention
Branch ~DPH-CLPPB} funds comprehensive services to ensure that children at risk for
lead poisoning receive blood lead testing, and that those identified with lead poisoning
receive the necessary services to address the health and housing issues responsible for
lead exposure,
One of the Program's primary functions is the early identification of children exposed to
lead through lead screening or testing so the Program reaches out to families and medical
providers to encourage blood lead screening as well as collaborating with other
government, community, andlor health care agencies and programs to increase lead
screening of children at risk. An annual "Lead Poisoning Update" goes to medical
providers and special emphasis is placed on reaching high risk populations, including
participants in Head Start and WIC.
The ACLPPP strives to intervene early when a child has been identified as lead exposed,
The Program offers an array of services to children identified with lead in their blood and
their families. The type of service provided is determined by the levels of lead found in

From: Ann Marie Gallant
Interim City Manager
Date: April 21, 2009
Re: Accept $120,900 in Citizens' Option for Public Safety Program Grant
Fundin to Su lement Frontline Police Services
BACKGROUND
In 1996, several Federal and State laws were enacted allowing municipalities to receive
grant funding exclusively allocated for frontline police services. In California, the
Citizens' Option for Public Safety COPS} Grant Program allows police agencies to
supplement frontline police services, such as patrol operations, communications,
criminal investigations, training, and supporting activities. Use of this grant to supplant
standard operating budget expenditures or existing services is prohibited.
DISCUSSION
For Fiscal Year 2008-09, the City is receiving a total grant of $120,900; $60,510 has
been allocated thus far; The Police Department proposes using these funds to procure
or improve various unfunded technology based systems and training, thereby
enhancing efficiency and effectiveness of frontline police services. Government Code
Section 30061 requires the City Council to appropriate these funds for the exclusive use
of supporting frontline municipal police services, in accordance with a written request by
the Chief of Police, prior to utilization of the funds.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The CGPS grant allocation is based on population. The grant for FY 2008-09 total
$120,900, which will be appropriated in Fund 218.09 - FY OS-09 COPS Grant Fund.
RECOMMENDATION
Accept $120,900 in Citizens' Option for Public Safety Program grant funding to
supplement frontline police services.

community involvement and partnership.
For the fiscal year 2009/2010 funding cycle, Caltrans will award approximately $3
million in competitive grants to local governments throughout California, with a
maximum award of $300,000 per project, and a required 20°/0 local match. For the local
match, one-half may be provided by in-kind staff services, and at least one-half must be
from local funding sources. Public Works staff proposes to submit an application to
develop a citywide Transportation Systems ManagementlTransportation Demand
Management TSMITDM} Plan, consistent with the policies of the recently adopted
Transportation Element ofthe General Plan.
DISCUSSION
The City had previously developed a draft TSMITDM Plan, which identified a set of
strategies that could be used to reduce single occupancy vehicle ~SOV} trips in West
Alameda. In addition, the Transportation Commission ETC} has developed, and the City
Council has accepted, draft citywide TSMITDM policies. The proposed study will
develop a citywide TSMITDM Plan, which will include thefollowing:
1. Specific requirements for new developments to mitigate their traffic impacts

2. Development of an on-going process for monitoring and evaluating the
effectiveness of TSMITDM measures, and provision of additional measures
should the required reductions not be achieved;
3. Development of a standardized method for calculating the appropriate financial

plans to help address the unique conditions of different areas ~iithin Alameda;
4. Development of a TSMITDM fee collection mechanism; and
5. Integration with the County-wide TDM planning efforts.
FINANCIAL IMPACT

funds requested from the Community Based Transportation Planning grant application
total $63,000, with $7,500 to be funded from in-kind staff services, and $5,200 as the
local match from the City's TSM fund. Application for these funds does not require any

Including its proposed compensation requirements of which a signif cant portion is attributed to
labor costs. In order to ensure that the City continues, over the Term of the Agreement, to
benefit from the Contractor's Proposal, labor costs shall not increase as a result of an increase in
the number of persannel or the number of labor hours unless Contractor can demonstrate that the
increased labor personnel andlor hours are necessary to provide service to additional Customers

compensation adjustment as described in Section 8.9. In recognition of this limitation on
Contractor's Compensation, the personnel and labor hours listed in the fallowing table shall be
considered allowable personnel and labor hours for the purpose of determining Contractar's

~~.~~
Any Revenue, as calculated in the same manner as was used in City accepted audited
statements for Rate Periods 1 through 7, received by the Contractor from the sale of
Recyclable Materials generated in the City and Processed during any Rate Period will be
shared by the City and the Contractor in accordance with the schedule below. The City's
share will be paid or applied by the Contractor in the form and manner that the City
directs within thirty X30} days after the submittal of required audited financial statements;
provided, however, that to the extent all or any portion of such payment or application
would cause the Contractor to be in default with its primary lender to which the
Contractor is indebted in a material amount, and the City is provided a letter from a
senior officer from the financial institution stating such, all or that portion of such
payment or application which would cause such default will be deferred until it can be
effected without causing such a default. Said deferral shall accrue interest at the rate the
City normally would have received on the funds during that time.
Rec clin Commodit Revenue Sharin Schedule:
Revenue, as calculated in the same manner as was used in City accepted audited
statements for Rate Periods 1 through 7, from the Contractor's sale of all Recyclable
Materials Processed at the Processing Site for the applicable Rate Period shall mean the
Contractor's revenue from the sale of any such Materials. Such Revenue will be
divided by the total tons of such Recyclable Materials delivered to the Processing Site
during such Rate Period ~"Total Tons"} to determine the total average amount per ton
the "Average Price"}. The Average Price will then be multiplied by that portion of the
Total Tons generated in the City the "City Tons"} to determine the revenue attributable
to the City the "Alameda Revenue"}. The Alameda Revenue will be shared as follows:
~a} the amount resulting from multiplying the City Tons by the first $26 of the Average
Price will belong to the Contractor; fib} the amount resulting from multiplying the City
Tons by the amount by which the Average Price up to $80 exceeds $26, if any, will be
shared 75% by the Contractor and 25% by the City; and ~c} the amount resulting from
multiplying the City Tons by the amount by which the Average Price exceeds $80, if any,
will be shared 25% by the Contractor and 75% by the City.
Revenue Sharin~,Examples:
1. If for a given Rate Period the Net Revenue was $1,473,939, the Total Tons were
24,809, and the City Tons were 12,405, then the Average Price would be $59.41
x$1,473,939124,809}, and the Alameda Revenue would be $736,981 x$59.41 x 12,405}.
The City's share would be $103,613 x$59.41- $26.00 = $33.41 x 12,405 x 25%}, and the
Contractor's share would be $633,368 ~~$26.00 x 12,405} + x$59.41 - $26.00 = $33.41 x
12,405 x 75°/a}~.
2. If for a given Rate Period the Net Revenue was $2,419,000, the Total Tons were
24,809, and the City Tons were 11,389, then the Average Price would be $97.50
~$2,419,OOO124,809}, and the Alameda Revenue would be $1,110,427 x$97.50 x 11,389},
The City's share would be $303,233 x$80 - $26,00 = $54.00 x 11,389 x 25% plus $97.50

Re: Request for Preparation of a Report on the Effect of the Proposed Alameda
Point Development Initiative Measure Pursuant to Election Code Section
9212 and Designate a Response Date
BACKGROUND
In July 20x7, the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority ~ARRA}, Community
Improvement Commission ~C1C}, and City of Alameda together Alameda} entered into
an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement ENA} with SCC Alameda Point LLC ~SunCal} to
secure the required land use entitlements to redevelop Alameda Point.
The ENA identifies a number of mandatory performance milestones necessary for
SunCal to complete the entitlement process during the ENA term, including the
preparation of a Development Concept, Infrastructure Plan, draft Master Plan, Sports
Complex Master Plan, Business Plan, and executed conveyance term sheet with the
Navy. SunCal submitted a Development Concept, along with a draft Business Plan,
draft Sports Complex Master Plan, and Infrastructure Plan, on September 19, 2008.
Based on feedback provided to SunCal by numerous City boards and commissions,
SunCal prepared its draft Master Plan, final Sports Complex Master Plan, and final
Business Plan, which it submitted to Alameda on December 19, 2008.
On March 26, 2009, SunCal submitted a Notice of Intent to Circulate Petition for the
Alameda Point Development Initiative Initiative} to the City Clerk, which included the
following:
a. Initiative Text
b. CharterAmendment
c. General Plan Amendments, including a revised Chapter 9, new Chapter
11 Alameda Point Community Plan}, and otheramendments
d. Alameda Point Specific Plan
e. Revised Zoning Map and Text Amendments
f. Development Agreement

Agenda item #6-B

Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
April 21, 2009
Page 2 of 3
The Ballot Title and Summary for the Initiative was issued by the City Attorney's Gffice
on March 31, 2009, and published in a local newspaper on Friday April 3, 2009. SunCal
is currently gathering signatures with the aim of qualifying the Initiative for the
November 2009 election. SunCal will make a presentation to the City Council on the
Initiative under this agenda item and answer any questions that the public or City
Council may have.
DISCUSSIGN
Pursuant to Election Code Section 9212, the City Council may request a report from
City staff on the effect of the proposed Initiative on any or alf of the following:
(1) Its fiscal impact.
~2} Its effect on the internal consistency of the City's general and specific plans,
including the housing element, the consistency between planning and zoning,
and the limitations on City actions under Gov. Code Sec. 65008 -forbidding
discrimination in housing, Gov Code Secs. 65913-65914 -zoning vacant land for
residential, requiring same standards for improvements by developer as City
standards for constructing same improvements with public funds, prohibiting
levying fees for maintenance or operation of public capital facility improvements,
and Gov. Cade Secs. 65915-65918 -density bonus and other incentives.
~3} Its effect on the use of land, the impact on the availability and focation~of housing,
and the ability of the City to meet its regional housing needs.
~4} Its impact on funding for infrastructure of all types, including, but not limited to,
transportation, schools, parks, and open space. The report may also discuss
whether the measure would be likely to result in increased infrastructure costs or
savings, including the costs of infrastructure maintenance, to current residents
and businesses.
(5) Its impact on the community's ability to attract and retain business and
employment.
(6) Its impact on the uses of vacant parcels of land.
~l} Its impact on agricultural lands, open space, traffic congestion, existing business
districts, and developed areas designated for revitalization.
(8) Any other matters the City Council requests to be in the report
Since SunCal released its December 2005 Master Plan and announced its intent to
place its plan on the ballot as a citizens' initiative, staff has received numerous
questions about the effects of the proposal. These questions primarily focus on two
issues:
• Fiscal Impacts: The two most frequently asked questions are: ~1 } vlJhat is
the effect of the SunCal Initiative on my tax burden?; and ~2} How will this
impact the City of Alameda's ability to maintain municipal service levels in
existing Alameda neighborhoods?
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council

Page 3 of 3
• Transportation Impacts: The public has asked for answers to questions
regarding transportation impacts at Alameda Point, including existing and
projected tube capacity and how effective the proposed Transportation
Demand Management ~TDM} services ~i.e., shuttles, ferry services, car
share, bike share, etc.} will be in reducing traffic volumes from the project.
If the Initiative qualifies for the November election, it will not be subject to the California
Environmental duality Act, and no Environmental Impact Report evaluating traffic and
other impacts of the proposal will be available to the public prior to the November 2009
election. As a result, staff recommends that the City Council direct staff to evaluate all of
the impacts ~1}through ~l}outlined above pursuant to Election Code Section 9212 and
specifically evaluate the fiscal impacts and transportation concerns of the project. Staff
will have to retain an outside traffic consultant to address the issues related to the
project's transportation impacts. The cost to the City is estimated in the range of
approximately $60,000 to $10D,DDD. These funds will be paid for by SunCal. Staff
recommends that the report be presented to the City Council by no later than its July 21,
2009 meeting.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Staff estimates that the preparation of a report that analyzes the transportation issues
identified above will require the City to retain an outside traffic consultant at a cost
between $60,000 to $100,000. These funds will be paid by SunCal. There will be no
impact on any City fund as a result of this action.
RECOMMENDATIQN
Request staff to prepare a report on the effect of the proposed Alameda Point
Development Initiative measure pursuant to Election Code Section 9212 by no later
than July 21, 2009, that addresses items ~1 }through ~7} outlined above and addresses
the fiscal impacts and transportation issues presented above.

Subject: Re: Council Referral for April 21 City Council Meeting
Hello Lara --
After discussing my idea with a number of individuals John Russo, Dan Purnell, Donna Mooney, Kate Quick, I think the more
appropriate title for my council referral item would be "Consideration of forming a Sunshine Community Task Force." I would like
the council to consider forming a small group (each councilmember doing acall-out and appointing on member to the task force) to
develop a "Sunshine Ordinance" for the City of Alameda to improve transparency and access. It would be good if we had a
representative from former city councilmembers, the League of Women Voters, ar other community members be part of the
stakeholder group. A Sunshine Ordinance will help facilitate research far the dwindling resoures of our newspapers that cover
Alameda and make information more readily available.
don't have the council referral form handy, but my thinking is that a Sunshine Ordinance would address some of the following
issues:
Extend the noticing requirement far agenda and matters before the City Council or a Board an Commission, perhaps beyond the l2
hour requirement,
Creat an online system far posting campaign finance reports neither scanned through PDF or candidates can complete and post on
the City's website)
Creat a registry for lobbyists and developing reporting requirements
Provide direction on costlturnaraund in response to public records act request.
Bill Withrow mentioned that the City of Alameda had an Ethics Commission when he was mayor but it was eliminated when Ralph
Appezzato became mayor. My sense is unless we have specific ordinances in place addressing conventional ethics issues, it
would be premature to resurrect the Ethics Commission.
Thanks for your help.
