3. REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS
3 -A. Presentation by the Veterans Affairs on the VA Project Development Plans at
Alameda Point,
Debbie Potter, Base Reuse and Community Development Manager, introduced Claude
Hutchison, Director of Asset Enterprise Managern.ent, and Larry Jaynes, Capital Asset Manager,
of the VA who made a powerpoint presentation.
Mr. Hutchison gave a summary profile of the Dept. of Veterans Affairs. The VA is the second
largest agency within. the Federal system., second only to the Department of Defense (DOD).
They are essentially the alumni. association for the DOD and serve the needs and requirements of
24 million living Americans who served our country. They have an annual budget projected to
be $84 billion There are three major areas of responsibilities and activities: 1) Veterans Health.
Administration to serve the medical needs and requirements of those enrolled in. the VA
system. Currently 8 million enrollees, with. 155 acute care hospitals around the country and 900
outpatient clinics, 2) Veterans Benefit Administration financial services ranging f rom rea
estate loans to insurance and educational requirements, and 3) National Cemetery Administration
runs 125 national shrines as final internment for Veterans.
Their hope is to place a combination of all three at Alameda Point a significant, multi.- purpose
outpatient clinic, offices for the Veterans Benefit Administration, and an above- ground
colurnbarium.
The entire land mass that the VA hopes to have transferred to them. by the Navy is approximately
597 acres. They envision developing about 113 acres concentrated in the north east area of the
property. Mr. Hutchison further explained that the VA is still. in negotiations with the USF &W
because of the Lease Tern and California Brown Pelican whose habitat is within the area they
hope to control..
Mr. Jaynes concluded the presentation with an overview of the property area, stating that
Alameda Point is strategically located to serve the Veterans of the greater Bay Area, and in
addition, it is ideally and centrally located to serve the Veterans of northern Alameda County.
.He indicated on the map which area was the federal -to- federal parcel at the far west end of
Alameda Point. It primarily consists of what was the airfield and landfill for NAS. The parcel
does not include the Northwest Territories, which is still going to the City of Alameda. It also
does not include any submerged lands. The 579 -acre parcel. runs from the west side of hangar
row all the way down to the bay, and follows the perimeter shoreline all the way around the tip.
When. it gets to the Northwest Territories, it comes back down to hangar row.
Mr. Jaynes presented the VA's site development plan which they have been working on for IS
rn.onths. They plan to only develop 113 acres, and the remaining 466 acres will. be left
undeveloped. The VA's planned development is a circumference of about 1900 feet from the
Lease Tern. colony, based on the closest structure on hangar row, to assure the protection of the
Lease Tern and the Brown Pelican and so the VA and these endangered species can co- exist on
the site.
Their plans include an outpatient clinic on the fay- east end which. would replace the two facilities
currently in Oakland. The clinic will be approximately 80- 90,000 sq. ft. and be a full- service
ambulatory care clinic which will not have any beds. The VA would like to develop an above-
ground cemetery on the 50+ acres on the far west end of the parcel. There are approximately
390,000 Veterans in the greater Bay Area that would use the cemetery services, and for the
clinic, they envision that it would serve approximately 7,000 of the 40,000 northern. Alameda
County Veterans. Also included in the clinic would be a small clinic that is run by the Air Force
(David Grant Medical Center) that would treat' active duty and active duty dependents in the Bay
Area. The third development plan includes land reserved for "enhanced use a public- private
partnership where a developer comes in and bui.l.ds a facility on under utilized VA land. The VA
was envisioning as their enhanced use partner a civilian in- patient hospital, which they believe is
a compatible need with their outpatient clinic.
Chair Johnson asked how many in- patient hospital beds the VA would anticipate be used by
Veterans. Mr. Jaynes replied that approximately 10 20 would be used for Veterans. Member
Matarrese mentioned that there is already a hospital here in Alameda that can be partnered with
the VA. Mr. Jaynes explained that the plans for the civilian hospital are still conceptual. The
enhanced use plans also include two structures for medical office buildings, which would house
civilian doctors and administration. Also included is a small nature center which the VA would
build to house fish. and wildlife services and employees on the site to work with the Lease Terns,
as well as EBRPD rangers if an agreement can be worked out with them. The VA would also
build a bay trail on the property, limited to the far west side of the parcel in order to protect the
endangered species.
Mr. Jaynes presented the VA's timeline for development. They have been in consultation with
USF &W for almost two years, and are currently in negotiations with the Navy to develop an
MOU which will. lay out the transfer terms. It is the VA and Navy's plan that the final transfer:,
including the transfer documents, will be complete by Fall. of 2008. In addition, the VA is
currently conducting a National Environmental Policy Act (NIEPA) environmental assessment
for transfer, and a biological assessment. They have plans to do a NEPA environmental impact
study which is funded and ready to go.
Mr. Jaynes explained the VA's two major construction projects, one for the clinic, one for the
cemetery. Both projects are congressionally authorized and appropriated, if approved for the
budget, design will begin on the clinic in 2010, with construction completed by spring/summer
2012. The columbariurn is on the same timeline, but could be phased and opened sooner. The
enhanced use lease is in the concept application process and will go to the Secretary of the VA in
the spring, and if approved, the enhanced use process will begin in late spring and work toward
having a partner and open in 2012.
Member Tangy thanked Mr. Jaynes and Mr. Hutchison for the presentation and had some
questions: 1) on the discussions the VA has had with the Navy regarding environmental. cleanup
costs, 2) has there been progress in the VA's coordination with SunCal, and 3} the VA's role and
relationship with the Alameda Healthcare District.
Mr. Hutchison explained that the VA has had ongoing di.al.ogue with. the Alameda District
hospital. and will be meeting with the new CEO tomorrow morning (Dec. 6) to continue that
dialogue and they are very interested in maintaining that relationship with the Alameda
Healthcare District. He further explained that the VA has issued an RFP for outpatient services,
and that the Alameda Healthcare District has responded. A final determination has not yet been
made.
As a response to Member Tam's first question,about the clean -up costs, Mr. Hutchison discussed
that the Navy is responsible for clean --up. The VA's MOU with the Navy will set forth the terms
and conditions that outline the requirements of the Navy to bring it up to appropriate commercial.
standards. The VA does not want to tape on liability for contamination over which they had no
control. The inter- agency transfer will. set forth clearly the Navy's requirements with no dispute
between the VA and the Navy as to those requirements. He emphasized that the VA has a
significant due diligence process.
Member Tam mentioned that since the VA. is the alumni association to the Navy, that they may
have a stronger tie to there than the ARRA does. Mr. Hutchison explained that the Navy is well
aware of their obligation and is prepared to live up to it.
Mr. Jaynes discussed the coordination efforts with SunCal, stating that most of their
communication with SunCal since their last meeting with them has been through Debbie Potter.
He said that he has been playing phone -tag with the project manager for SunCal, Pat Keliher, but
will continue to strive to communicate with them to make sure their plans are in coordination
with the ARRA's. Mr. Hutchison thanked Member: Tam for being the catalyst to bringing
SunCal. and the VA together in a joint cooperation going forward.
Chair Johnson wanted to clarify whether residential units were still. part of the VA's development
plan. Mr. Hutchison confirmed that residential units were never part of them- plan. Member
de1 discussed his concerns about the budget appropriations and the VA's cost for their
development plans. Mr. Hutchison stated that the budget approval cycle was FY '10 and the
dollar amount for the hospital is in the $50M range, and considerably less for the columbarium.
They are confident that their proposal will be well received by congress and the Dept. of
Veteran's Affairs. Member deHaan also asked about the status of their coordination efforts with
SunCal. Mr. Hutchison reaffirmed what Mr. Jaynes had said about their intent to maintain
dialogue with SunCal.
Chair Johnson called the speakers, first Bill Smith, who spoke about various topics, including the
Lease Terns and transportation issues. The next speaker, Mark Chandler, Commissioner of the
Alameda County Veterans Affairs Commission, spore in support of the VA's plan to develop the
outpatient clinic at Alameda Point. He discussed the status quo of Veterans having to travel to
Martinez, Travis AFB, and Mare Island for healthcare.
Another: speaker, Leora Feeney, Boardmember of the Golden Gate Audubon Society and Friends
of the Alameda Wildlife (FAWR), stated her appreciation. for the cordiality given by the VA
regarding their proposal.. She stated that all of them support Veterans in a huge Way, and also
support wildlife and open space and opportunities for our children. to experience nature. GIs.
Feeney discussed her concerns on specific issues of the VA presentation, mainly the "circle"
concept (1900 feet distance from the nearest hangar). She's concerned that any development that
places a barrier between the Lease Tern. colony and the water would present a problem, as the
Lease Terns do not fly over buildings. They would not be able to get to the water to forage. Ms.
Feeney's other strong objection is the VA's unwillingness to accept the water around the refuge,
together with the land, including the island breakwater where the brown pelicans roost. If the VA
accepts the land and develops that northern portion of it, it seems reasonable, but there is a need
to protect the foraging waters of the Lease Terns and the island breakwater for those endangered
species. She emphasized the need for accountability to protect these things, and stated that if the
USF &W does not have it, nor the VA, she's concerned about who will accept the responsibility.
Chair Johnson asked the VA what their intention is with regard to Ms. Feeney's concerns about
the water. Mr. Hutchison stated that it is envisioned that the water area would go to the master
developer, Sun.Cal, and that the VA has never coveted that water. Deputy Executive Director,
David Brandt, corrected Mr. Hutchi.son's statement by explaining that the area is Tidelands
property, so it would be the ARRA or the City that would hold title to the property, and not
SunCal.
The next speaker was Eli. Saddler, Conservation Director for the Golden Gate Audubon. Society.
He discussed further the concerns of Ms. Feeney, and agreed that they support the VA. He
would like them to go forward with their develops -n.ent plans, but just not at the Alameda Point
site. one of their primary concerns is that the VA's plan contradicts the existing biological
opinion that Was developed when IJSF &W originally requested the property as a refuge. There
was a minimum. acreage required for the California Lease Tern which was the entire area
sectioned off, not including the northern. -most portion, which was going to the City and was to be
developed as a buffer zone. The VA's plans would be inside the buffer zone of the area that has
already been designated as the critical. habitat for the species. They do not think. that it is
biologically defensible to draw a circle of 1900 feet around the colony, it is unrealistic to think
that the birds will obey and stay in that circle; They use the whole area, including areas where
the VA has already planned to put their hospital. Mr. Saddler also further discussed his concern
about the water area, which was also included in the original biological opinion, Which stated
that the area to the south was needed for foraging for both species. He emphasized their concern
about whether the VA's plan was biologically feasible without very serious mitigation that
would have to be done ahead of any construction, mitigation meaning having an alternative site
for the Lease Terns to go to, and there Was no discussion of this mitigation. It is their
understanding that the USF &W would have some kind of requirement that would include
mitigation. The problem. is, however, that there really is no other location for the Lease Terns to
go. The VA plans could potentially jeopardize Alameda 's very significant Lease Tern colony.
Mr. Saddler also discussed his concerns about the VA's NEPA process and whether it is legally
defensible. The transfer of the parcel is for a purpose, and if there is a new biological opinion
that contradicts a pre existing one, this places the VA's development plans on shak ground,
legally.
Chair Johnson thanked all the speakers and Mr. Hutchison for corning in from Washington, DC
to make the VA's presentation. Member deHaan asked whether the VA looked at other
opportunities at Alameda Point. Mr. Hutchison. clarified that their discussions have been. with
the Navy, and that the Navy came to them, unable to agree to terms with the USF &W and was
going to dispose of the property, and asked whether the VA had an interest in taking it over.
Their relationship to the parcel is a direct result of the Navy soliciting their interest. Mr. Jaynes
added that the VA had looked at the older Coast Guard :Housing property, but felt that it wasn't
large enough to satisfy the VA's needs for a medical clinic as well as a columbarium.
Member Matarrese expressed his appreciation for the presentation as it quelled various rumors
about the VA's interest in the property. It's good for the ARRA and for the public to hear a
presentation live from officials of the VA. Member Matarrese asked if they would take back
with them. a couple considerations: 1) that he does not share their optimism regarding the Navy's
commitment to do clean -up. He asked that they have the same demands as the ARRA does
regarding clean --up, and to accept the land clean, especially if it would be the final resting place
for our Veterans, and 2) explore to the maximum the opportunity to work with the Alameda
Healthcare District. A competing private hospital would be to the detriment of the hospital that
Alameda taxpayers support.
Member deHaan requested that the Alameda Healthcare District make a presentation to the
ARRA regarding their interest in the VA project. Chair Johnson stated that they will invite the
Alameda Healthcare District to make a presentation. to the ARRA when they are ready to do so.
3 -B. Update on the Former Coast Guard Housing; Property.
Debbie Potter gave an update on the North Housing parcel, specifically on. the temporary license
agreement /lease for estuary park, the exploration of a possible short -term leasing program, and
the screening process underway for the homeless accommodation and public benefit conveyance.
Staff has been working with the Navy on the short -terra lease for estuary park, some sticking
points involve environmental. remediation, but a short term lease agreement is planned to be
brought back to the ARRA in January '08. Staff determined that it was not feasible to have a
short terra. leasing program for the surplus units. Regarding the screening process, on Nov. 5,
the Navy published their notice of surplus property in the Federal register, which triggered the
ARRA's obligation to notify the public that the property is available for screening and we are
currently in the middle of the process. There is a public information workshop scheduled for
tomorrow (Dec. 6) to brief interested parties on the screening process, and to take them. on a tour
of the property. Notices of Interest (NOI) for both the homeless accommodation and the public
benefit conveyance will be due to the City on February 29, 2008. Those notices will be
evaluated working with HUD and the Navy, and ultimately we will go through a public process
of amending the Community Reuse Plan to reflect the accommodations and public benefit
conveyances that ma result from. this process.

2 -B
SUBJ: Authorize the Executive Director to :Execute an. Agreement with Russell Resources
for Environmental. Consulting Services for Alameda Point for 12 Months in an
Amount not to exceed $117,500
Background
Russell Resources has provided environmental consulting services to the ARRA for the past nine
years. Russell. Resources reviews, analyzes, and prepares comments on Navy environmental
documents for the clean up of the Alameda Naval. Air Station (Alameda Point) on behalf of the
ARRA. In. addition, Russell :Resources attends and represents the ARRA at meetings with State and
Federal environmental regulators and the Navy and provides professional expertise to ARRA staff to
allow full participation in the cleanup decisions made by the Navy. Most recently,. Russell. Resources
assisted with negotiations with the Navy on the draft conveyance tern sheet and supported staff in.
the Alameda Point .Master Developer R.FQ process. Russell Resources' existing contract expired on
December 31, 2007.
Discussion
In 2004, a limited Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued for environmental consulting services at
Alameda Point to determine if an additional environmental firm. should be retained to augment
Russell Resources, or if a new firm should be retained to replace Russell Resources. 'three firms
were interviewed as part of that process. An evaluation. team met with Levine Fricke, Environmental
Resources Management west, and CD2M H1.11. Following those interviews and a review of the
proposals received, the evaluation team. determined that no additional services were necessary and
that the ARRA should continue to engage Russell. Resources.
In addition, as part of evaluating environmental services for 2007, staff conducted an informal
solicitation from. two environmental consulting firms, Erler Kalinowski and GeoMatrix, to
determine if Russell Resources' expertise and cost were comparable to other firms. Given Russell
Resources' familiarity with Alameda Point, long standing relationships with the Navy personnel and
environmental regulators assigned to Alameda Point and his competitive billing rate, the ARRA
Board approved an agreement to retain Russell. Resources.
It is recommended that the ARRA Board approve a one -year agreement, in an amount not to exceed
$117,500, with Russell. Resources for environmental. consulting services at Alameda Point. During
Honorable Members of the January 2, 2008
Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority Page 2
2008, Russell Resources will support the discussions with the Navy related to the conveyance of
Alameda Point and will provide technical support to the staff on current and future environmental
remediation. In addition, Russell Resources will continue to attend all Base Closure Team (BCT)
and Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) meetings, attend meetings in furtherance of conveyance
between and among ARRA, Navy, and SunCal Companies, and attend other technical meetings that
may be necessary to support conveyance of Alameda Point. Russell Resources will also review, and
prepare draft comments on, technical environmental. documents published by the Navy, along with
reports and wore. plans, in support of the successful transfer and redevelopment of the Alameda
Point.
Fiscal In act
Approval of this agreement does not impact the City's general fund. Funds for Alameda Point
environmental services are provided as part of the cost recovery provisions included in the Exclusive
Negotiation Agreement with SunCal Companies.
Recommendation
Authorize the Executive Director to execute an agreement with Russell Resources for environmental
consulting services for Alameda Point for a 12- month. term in an amount not to exceed $:1.17,500.

SUBJ: Approve Sublease for American Bus Repair, LLC at Alameda Point
BACKGROUND
In December 2004, the ARRA governing body elected to approve all Alameda Point subleases with a
lease terra. greater than one year. The ARRA had previously had a seven -year threshold, but in order
to actively ensure that leasing would not interfere with development, the ARRA wanted increased
oversight. In order to avoid making this a cumbersome process, the ARRA requested that staff
prepare a brief Consent Calendar report on routine leases and renewals. New, longer terra, and more
complex leases will be considered on the Regular agenda.
DISCUSSION
Attachment A describes the business terms for the proposed subleases. The lease is for American
Bus Repair, LLC, dlbla Coach Specialties.
This lease is a lease for a portion. of Building 24. The rent for AMERICAN BUS REPAIR, LLC,
d/bla COACH SPECIALTIES is $68,580 annually, or $0.38 per sq. ft. in. the first year a 3 increase
each year in the subsequent years for industrial vehicle sales and leasing, painting and finishing,
repairs and storage. Building 24 is in fair condition. This lease has been discussed with
representatives from SunCal Companies and has their concurrence, in accordance with the Exclusive
Negotiating Agreement.
BUDGET CONSIDERATION 1 FINANCIAL IMPACT
The leases are expected to raise $68,580.00 in the first year. These funds will be retained by the
ARRA.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the proposed sublease agreement.

Interoffice Memorandum.
January 2, 2008
To: Honorable Chair and Members of the
Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority
FROM: Debra Kurita, Executive Director
SUBJ: Alameda Point Update Presentation of Quarterly Update of Project Master
Schedule Prepared by SCC Alameda Point LLC
BACKGROUND
On May 8, 2007, the Alameda Meuse and Redevelopment Authority (ARRA) selected SunCal as
its Master Developer for Alameda Point and established a 60 -day due diligence and Exclusive
Negotiation. Agreement (ENA) negotiation period. The due diligence period was completed, and
the ENA between SunCal and the ARRA, Community Improvement Commission (CIC), and
City Council was approved on July 18, 2007. At the September 4, 2007 ARRA meeting, SunCal
presented the Project Master Schedule, as required by the ENA. The ENA also requires that
SunCal. update the Project Master Schedule quarterly. The Project Master Schedule contains
major project milestones, lists required actions to achieve each milestone, provides the start and
end dates for the actions, and charts the duration of each task..
Since presenti.n.g the Project Master Schedule in September 2007, SunCal has continued meeting
with ARRA staff on a weekly basis. In addition, SunCal has accomplished the following project
activities:
Held two community meetings: (1) an October 24, 2007 meeting that introduced SunCal.
and its consultant team. and presented preliminary findings from a technical constraints
analysis; and (2) a December 13, 2007 meeting that presented two broadly defined
development concepts for the site;
Began planning for a third community meeting on January 30, 2008 to present more
refined development alternatives based on community feedback from the December 13
meeting;
Met with the Navy on December 12; 2007, to begin discussions regarding the broad
development concepts being explored by SunCal for Alameda Point; and
Continued meeting with local, regional, State and Federal stakeholders;
The attached quarterly update of the Project Master Schedule identifies the tasks necessary to
complete the Mandatory and Non Mandatory Milestones outlined in the ENA.
Honorable Chair and Members of the January 2, 2008
Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority Page 2
DISCUSSION
The initial Project M aster Schedule presented to the ARRA in. September 2007, was predicated
on the assumption that SunCal. would commit to implementing the Alameda Point Preliminary
Development Concept (PDC), which. served as the basis for the Final Draft Conveyance Term
Sheet with the Navy. Since the initial Project Master Schedule was presented to the ARRA,
SunCal has conducted significant due diligence and determined that the PDC is not financially
feasible. As a result, SunCal is pursuing new and distinct development concepts for the site and
the timing of certain project activities in the Project Master Schedule have changed. The
quarterly update reflects the following changes to the Project Master Schedule:
A "Continuing Constraints Anal ysislPlanning" task was added to the schedule to reflect
SunCal.'s decision to dedicate additional resources towards developing a new, feasible
development concept for Alameda Point. This task is expected to be ongoing over the
next 1S months.
A "City Technical Peer Review" task was added to compliment SunCal's constraints
analysis and planning activities. This task is also expected to be ongoing over the next 18
months.
The Final. Draft Conveyance Tern Sheet with the Navy may need to be revised
depending on SunCal's ultimate development concept and, as a result, the initial January
2008 date for agreeing on the Term Sheet has been postponed. It is expected that this
task will be finalized in June 2008.
The draft Tidelands Trust Exchange Agreement with. California State Lands Commission
(CSLC) may need to be revised depending on SunCal.'s final development concept and,
as a result, the initial October 2007 tirneline for submission of the Agreement to CSLC
was changed. It is expected that the draft agreement will be submitted in May 2008, and
approved in Spring 2009.
Re- initiation of the Section 7 consultation with the United States Fish and wildlife
Service (USFWS) needs to be postponed until SunCal proposes a development concept.
As a result, the initial January 2008 timeframe for re- initiating this process with USFwS
was changed. It is expected that this task will. begin in May 2008.
The Master Project Schedule will continue to be updated quarterly, and updates will be presented
to the ARRA Board regularly.
BUDGET CONSIDERATION l FINANCIAL...., IMPACT
There is no financial impact on the General Fund, CIC, or ARRA budgets. The cost recovery
provision in the ENA provides that SunCal pays for ARRA staff costs and consultant expenses.
