3. REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS
3 -A. Alameda Point Update Presentation of SunCalrs Draft Redevelopment Master Plan.
Debbie Potter, Base Reuse and Community Development Manager, addressed several topics
actively discussed in the community and clarified that tonight's update is for information only,
neither staff nor Suncal has requested formal action on the Master Plan. It is an opportunity for
the community to comment on the draft Master Plan and for the ARRA Board to provide
feedback to Suncal. Because SunCal's plan is not consistent with the city's charter, as it
proposes a mix of residential structures that include multi- family rental and condo projects, this
master plan can only be approved by a vote of the people. Suncal anticipates placing its plan
on the ballot for the communities' consideration in November of this year, and the ENA requires
Suncal to notify the city no later than April 30 if it plans to proceed with the ballot initiative.
Tonight's presentation is part of the ongoing community dialogue that will continue over the next
18 months, as the City and Suncal negotiate a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA)
for the long term redevelopment of Alameda Point. Two key issues have been the focus of
discussion: 1) the concept of a public trust modeled on the Presidio trust for Alameda Point, and
2} the amount of the Community Improvement Commission (CIC) investment in the Alameda
Point project and whether or not that investment of redevelopment dollars adversely impacts the
City's general fund which is responsible for financing critical city services.
Ms. Potter discussed the Presidio conveyance model a transfer from military ownership via
special legislation to the National Park Service and was not subject to BRAC requirements it
was determined that the same conveyance model is not feasible for Alameda Point. Alameda
Point is subject to BRAC, was previously screened for other federal agency uses, was screened
pursuant to the McKinney -vento act for homeless uses, and is required to be conveyed at fair
market value for private ownership and reuse. The ARRA is working with the Navy to negotiate
a conveyance term sheet to transfer the property and provide for its ultimate reuse as a mixed
use community that generates jobs, provides housing for all incomes, and opens up the
waterfront and creates new recreational opportunities for Alameda and the region. To achieve
that goal, the City entered into an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement with SunCal.
Ms. Potter addressed the issue of tax increment funds, clarifying that there cannot be a pledge
of tax increment funds without a DDA, approved by the City Council and CIC in public following
a public hearing, therefore, any approval of tax increment funding will only happen after input
and participation from the community. If tax increment funds are raised through the sale of tax
increment bonds, those bonds are secured and repaid solely by tax increment funds generated
in the Alameda Point Redevelopment Project Area (APIP), and in no way obligate the City's
general fund. Based on current projections of the property value to be created by the build -out
of the master plan, staff anticipates that a maximum of $184 million of tax increment will be
created over the life of the project. This number is well short of the $700 million being
referenced in the community. It should also be noted that large portion of the $184 million is
restricted to the production of affordable housing.
Furthermore, several years ago, the City Council adopted a resolution stating that all base reuse
activities must pay for themselves and be fiscally neutral to the City's general Fund. The
Council recognized the task of integrating former military property into the larger Alameda
community would have a cost in terms of a need for the increase police and fire services, more
demand on Parks and public libraries, and increased maintenance of new roads and
infrastructure, and that cost should be borne by the new development. SunCal's draft Master
Plan is supported by a Business Plan that provides for fiscal neutrality.
Ms. Potter introduced Pat Keliher, SunCal's Alameda Point Project Manager, who presented the
draft Master Plan via Powerpoint presentation. Following the presentation, there were several
speakers who discussed various issues about the draft Master Plan.
Member deHaan is concerned about some issues in the draft Master Plan, specifically regarding
the plans for residential development, the sea level rising, and transportation issues. He also
discussed the plans for the Sports Complex and that the plan has not changed, except for the
price. He continues to have strong reservations.
In response to public comment, Member Gilmore asked SunCal to explain its financial viability,
the effect of the bankruptcies of other projects predevelopment funding and where that money
comes from, ghat happens during the predevelopment period if SunCal doesn't come up with
the money, and how SunCal sees the financing unfolding once we get to a DDA.
Mr. Keliher explained that throughout ENA period, SunCal is required to reimburse the City for
any expenditures, and deposit money to spend on predevelopment dollars. This is done every
quarter and is audited. once we get through the ENA period, and the DDA period, and
determine how to actually finance the project, once the land is conveyed, there are several
different mechanisms, including debt equity. with regard to the bankruptcies on the other
projects that SunCal was the operator on, not necessarily the owner of, most all of those were
Lehman projects. When Lehman filed bankruptcy and decided to not fund SunCal, SunCal
decided, involuntarily, to throw each of those projects into bankruptcy in hopes of forcing
Lehman to start to fund those. These projects are independently financed and structured and
have absolutely nothing to do with the Alameda Point project.
Member Gilmore reiterated the concern regarding SunCal's ability to fund predevelopment
expenses. Mr. Keliher explained that if SunCal defaults under the ENA and doesn't perform, it
is simply over. He further stated that, to date, SunCal has deposited all the funds. Both
Member Gilmore and Mr. Keliher clarified and confirmed that the ARRA is not obligated in any
way to reimburse SunCal for the predevelopment funds that have been spent.
There was discussion about the historic structures. Mr. Keliher is in agreement with the Board
that it's not the wisest move to proactively rip down the structures, and that SunCal will work
with staff on working out a process of evaluating the best direction.
Member Matarrese offered comments for consideration, including requesting detail of
commercial space, and what impact of those spaces would be with regard to traffic and truck
routes, and the industrial -type uses. Member Tam also asked about industrial uses, mixed -use
and residential. Peter Calthorpe described another similar project in San Jose where there was
a balance of use in the commercial, civic, and retail areas. He stated that industrial
development needs to be treated in special way, explaining that it has not yet been determined
whether there are industrial users that are appropriate for this site and that should be part of the
mix.
Member Tam asked about the BCDC sea level rise, and the 24" that one speaker mentioned.
Mr. Keliher responded that he has heard various levels, but that no one has come out with
specific number to design to, an issue that SunCal does not want to ignore. Member Tara
stated that we are at the point of our best and last opportunity to provide an economic stimulus
package without public subsidies or a tax on our general fund. This draft Master Plan produces
economic growth, a realistic transit system, and that the phasing will make it flexible enough to
respond to varying economic conditions, whether it's 15 years, or the next 20 -30 yrs. Member
Tam stated her appreciation to staff and SunCal that the plan has been vetted very thoroughly
with the community,
t
Member Gilmore asked what would happen if the City breached its obligations under the ENA.
Donna Mooney, Asst. General Counsel, replied that the ENA is a contract and if the City doesn't
fulfill an obligation to it, it would be considered a breach of contract. SunCal would have a legal
remedy to this breach, which could include asking a court to make us come back and continue
negotiating, or it could be that the contract is terminated and we give back the $1 million
deposit.
Member Matarrese clarified that tax increment bonds are sold based on tax increment at the
time the bond is sold, not based on the development for which those bonds will spur, Ms. Potter
confirmed and explained that, typically, when you go to the market with debt and desire to raise
money through the sale of bonds, the project has to be at least three years into its development
so that the underwriters and folks interested in purchasing the bonds have an expectation of the
track record and then projections about the increment that will be generated over the life of the
project.
At chair Johnson's request, Ms. Potter summarized the process and milestones of the ENA so
that the public understands that this is not the end of the process.
This report was for information only and no action was taken by the Board.
S
3-B. VA/Navy Presentation Regarding the Navy/VA Federal -to- Federal Transfer at Former
NAS Alameda,
Nis. Potter gave a brief overview about the 500 acres on western portion of Alameda Point
property. The Navy and VA have been in discussion for many years about its plans for the
development of the portion of the wildlife refuge property. She introduced Claude Hutchinson of
the VA. Mr. Hutchinson gave his presentation via Powerpoint to the Board and community,
summarizing the status of the fed -to -fed transfer The plans include a 50-acre above ground
columbarium, a site for a VA outpatient clinic, and a non VA -owned hospital. other presenters
included Patrick McKay of the Navy BRAG office; Dr. Ron Chun, VA outpatient clinic site
manager; Don Reiker, National Cemetary Assoc. regional director; Larry Jaynes, Capital Asset
Manager of the VA; and Jayni Alsep, the VA's environmental consultant from EDAW.
Chair Johnson clarified for the public that the ARRA is not a part of the transaction between the
Navy and the VA, and has no decision making power in this transaction. she stated her
appreciation to the VA on its presentation and all its efforts for community involvement. Chair
Johnson also stated that although the ARRA has no control over this issue, we might be able to
cooperate if the VA was willing to look at other areas of the base.

Memorandum
To: Honorable Chair and
Members of the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authorit
From: Debra Kurita
Executive Director
Date: March 4, 2009
Re: Approve an Amendment to the Consultant Contract with Harris
Associates for On-Call Services for the Review of Land Development
Entitlement Applications for the Redevelopment of Alameda Point
BACKGROUND
In Ma 2007, the Cit issued a re for q ualifications for consultin services for the
review of redevelopment entitlement applications for Alameda Point. The scope of work
includes the review of storm water/floodplain/Federal Emer Mana Act
FEMA improvements, sewer infrastructure demands, transportation plannin traffic
en g eotechnical support services, and project mana Three
consultants submitted proposals, and after interviews with all the consultants, the Cit
selected Harris Associates for the work. On November 29, 2007, the Cit entered into
a Consultant A with Harris Associates, in an amount not to exceed $74,900,
to conduct a review of the preliminar anal used in the preparation of SunCal's
Development Concept. On November 4, 2008, the contract was amended to extend the
term to June 30, 2009.
DISCUSSION
On December 19, 2008, SunCal submitted their Alameda Point Draft Master Plan. This
plan was discussed at the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authorit meetin of
Januar 7, 2009. Once the Draft Master Plan is approved, detailed desi efforts will be
undertaken b SunCal. Since the Cit does not have existin resources available to
review the draft master plan, staff proposes to amend the current contract with Harris
Associates to include the review of the detailed entitlement submittals; authorize hirin a
sub-consultant, Nelson N to review the Transportation Plan and associated
studies; and increase the total contract amount to a not to exceed amount of $225,000.
Harris Associates has successfull assisted the Cit with similar work on the
Catellus/Ba project. The are familiar with the Cit desi standards and are well
q ualified to perform this work for Alameda Point. A cop of the contract is on file in the
Cit Clerk's office.

Re: Approve a Second Amendment to Agreement with Economic Planning
Systems, Inc., Increasing the Budget $148,000 and Extending the Term
11 Months, to Provide ongoing Negotiation Support for the
Redevelopment of Alameda Point
On July 18, 2007, the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority (ARRA),
Community Improvement commission (CIC), and City council approved an Exclusive
Negotiation Agreement (ENA) with SCC Alameda Point LLC (SunCal) for the
redevelopment of Alameda Point, Th ,,e original 24 -month ENA established key
performance milestones, provided for reimbursement of ARRA staff and third party
costs, identified activities to be completed by third party entities, and specified key
personnel assigned to the project. The ENA was amended in March 2008 to provide
more time to complete two tasks: preparation of the Development Concept and related
documents, and preparation of the draft Master Plan. A second amendment to the ENA
was approved in October 2008, The second amendment revised several mandatory
milestone dates and authorized Suncal to partner with an equity investor to ensure
adequate financing for the predevelopment phase. The amended ENA expires on July
20, 2010.
The ENA includes cost recovery provisions that require Suncal to reimburse the ARRA
for its pre development costs, including third -party consultant and legal costs and ARRA
staff time. Upon approval of the ENA, ARRA staff executed agreements with third -party
consultants to prepare for various entitlement processes and negotiations with the Navy
and Suncal. ARRA contracted with Economic Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) to
provide real estate economic consulting services in August 2007, for an original total
contract amount of $188,000 and a 12 -month term. Since that time, EPS has prepared
a fiscal impact analysis, reviewed and provided critical feedback on SunCal's draft and
final Business Plans, developed a joint Project Proforma that serves as the basis for
negotiations with both Suncal and the Navy, and supported staff in responding to
numerous questions and comments from the Navy regarding the Project Proforma.
EPS's Agreement was amended in August 2008 to extend the term 12 months to
August 2009. A second amendment is now necessary to increase the contract term 11
months, and the budget by $145,000 to cover EPS' expenses through the ENA period.
Honorable Chair and March 4, 2000
Members of the Alameda Reuse and redevelopment Authority Page 2 of 3
The amended Agreement has a total contract amount of $330,000 and a 35 -month
terra. The proposed second amendment to the Agreement is on file in the City Clerk's
Office.
DISCUSSION
In addition to EPS's ongoing work at Alameda Point, the firm provided economic
consulting services to the ARRA during the previous ARRA -led pre- development period,
which included negotiations with the Navy and preparation of the Preliminary
Development Concept. As a result, EPS has in -depth knowledge of the opportunities
and constraints presented by the Alameda Point project site and the provisions of the
draft Navy Term Sheet. In addition, EPS has extensive experience working on other
large -scale reuse and redevelopment projects throughout the State, including former
Navy bases such as Hunter's Point Naval Shipyard and Naval Station Treasure Island
in San Francisco, and Tustin Marine corps Air Station in Tustin, California.
EPS will provide continued support during the ongoing negotiation of the Project
Proforma, a Conditional Acquisition Agreement, if applicable, Navy Term Sheet and
Conveyance Agreement, and a Disposition and Development Agreement. As directed
by ARRA staff EPS will participate in meetings with SunCal and the Navy, as
appropriate, and provide ongoing analytical and strategic support to the ARRA in
negotiations regarding business terms, revisions to the development plan, conditions of
property transfer, and the Project Proforma. Specifically, EPS will assist in the
evaluation of market values, absorption rates, phasing, land uses, fiscal mitigation,
financing mechanisms, public improvements, infrastructure requirements costs, and
profit participation. EPS will also control and maintain the Project Proforma for the
project, jointly prepared with SunCal.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact on the General Fund, CIC, or ARRA budgets. The cost
recovery provision in the ENA requires that SunCal pay for all ARRA staff costs and
consultant expenses.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve a Second Amendment to Agreement with Economic Planning Systems, Inc.,
Increasing the Budget $145,000 and Extending the Term 11 Months, to Provide
Ongoing Negotiation Support for the Redevelopment of Alameda Point.

Re: Authorize the Executive Director to Execute a consultant Agreement
with National Response corporation Environmental Services in the
Amount of $325,000 for Management of Alameda Point Port for the
earlier of Five bears or Until Property is conveyed to the Alameda
Reuse and Redevelopment Authorit
.BACKGROUND
In September 1996, the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority (ARRA)
Governing Board directed the Executive Director to negotiate and execute a port
management and maintenance contract with Trident Management, Inc. for port services
at Piers 1, 2, and 3. Since that time, Trident has served as the ARRA's port manager.
In September 2000, the ARRA approved a three -year contract with Trident. In January
2008, National Response corporation Environmental Services (NRC) acquired Trident
and assumed the role of port manager for Alameda Point.
DISCUSSION
Since the Alameda Naval Air Station closed, Trident Management, Inc. has served as
the port manager for the ARRA. Port management services are necessary to support
the Navy and MARAD ships at Alameda Point as specified in the 20Ryear lease
agreement with MARAD. NRC has been a leading national Oil Spill Removal
Organization (OSRO) contractor since the passage of the oil Pollution Act of 1990 and
brings considerable oil spill response expertise and equipment resources to their
position as port manager. In November 2007, after the Cosco Busan oil spill, NRC's
quick response to the spill and placement of booms around Alameda ensured the island
was protected from oil contamination.
NRC also acquired the exclusive license to operate the Bilge oily 'water Treatment
System (BOWTS) from Trident. The BOWTS is an ARRA -owned equipment facility that
skims oil off of the water. NRC generates revenue from this service and can therefore
continue to offer port services at no additional cost. Prior to fiscal year 200412005, the
ARRA and Trident shared revenue derived from the use of the BOWTS. In 2005, the
ARRA relinquished that right, in exchange for approximately $300,000 reduction in the
contract price.
Honorable Chair and Members
of the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority
March 4, 2009
Page 2of2
NRC currently occupies four Alameda Point buildings at no cost. As with Trident, ARRA
pays for NRC's insurance for its use of ARRA- owned equipment. The insurance costs
are approximately $100,000 annually and are included in the MARAD operating
cashflow.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost for proposed port services is $325,000 annually, plus approximately $100,000
for insurance. The funding source for the services is ARRA lease revenue. The ARRA
cashflow (Attachment includes these costs as part of the port operations and
maintenance budget.
BECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Executive Director to exequte a consultant agreement with National
Response corporation Environmental services in the amount of $325,000 for
management of Alameda Point Port for the earlier of five years or until property is
conveyed to ARRA.

From: Debra Kurita
Executive Director
Date: March 4, 2009
Re: Approve and Authorize the Executive Director to Execute a second
Amendment to the Alameda Point Lease in Furtherance of conveyance
with the United states Nav
BACKGROUND
On June 6, 2000, the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority (ARRA) and the
United states Navy entered into a Lease in Furtherance of conveyance (LIFOC) for the
former Naval Air station Alameda, now called Alameda Point. The LIFOC has a 50-
year terra and replaced the Large Parcel Lease that had been in effect since April 1997.
In November 2000, the LIFOC was amended to reduce the amount of comprehensive
General Liability Insurance required for sUb- tenants from $5,000,000 to $3,000,000 per
occurrence for property damage, to make the LIFOC insurance requirements consistent
with the Large Parcel Lease. The Navy has requested a second amendment to the
LIFOC to modify Exhibit A to remove several buildings from the leased premises so that
remedial work can be conducted on those premises. In addition, the Navy wants to
remove a portion of the seaplane Lagoon from the lease. Buildings excluded from the
leased premises are not available for the ARRA to sub lease. The second amendment,
which is on file in the City clerk's office, also further reduces the comprehensive
General Liability Insurance requirements from $3,000,000 to $2,000,000 and changes
the notification provisions.
DISCUSSION
The Navy's primary task prior to conveying Alameda Point is to conduct the required
environmental remediation at the property. ARRA's ability to sub -lease space is
contingent upon the Navy issuing a Finding of suitability to Lease (FOSL) for the
specific build ingslfacilities to be leased and the Navy not needing regular access to
those buildings /facilities to conduct required clean -up activities. Further, section 13.4,
Environmental Protection Provisions, of the LIFOC provides that "Lessee (ARRA)
agrees that should any conflict arise botween the terms of (the Federal Facilities)
agreement... and the provisions of this Lease, the terms of the FFA will take
precedence." Lessee shall have no claim on account of any such interference..." The
Honorable chair and March 4, 2009
Members of the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority Page 2 of 3
FFA is the annual remediation schedule entered into between the Navy and the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The second amendment would remove a portion of the Seaplane Lagoon from the
leased premises. Based on its environmental condition, the Navy has not issued a
FOSL for the Seaplane Lagoon. Building 5 and the second and third floors of Building
400 would be removed from the leased premises to accommodate current
environmental remediation activity. There are currently no sub leases for Building 5 or
the second and third floors of building 400, nor have these facilities /floors ever been
subleased. Portions of the ground floor of Building 400 are currently being leased.
The second amendment does not affect ARRA's ability to continue to sub -lease the
ground floor of Building 400.
Buildings 44, 50 113, and 103 would be removed from the leased premises at the end
of the current term of each of the sub leases. The Navy is requesting that these
buildings be unavailable for sub leasing due to the need to conduct environmental
rernediation work ranging from data gap analysis to possible clean up. The Navy has
determined that it cannot conduct its required work with tenants in place; however, it is
willing to begin the necessary work at the end of each sub -lease term rather than
compel the ARRA to terminate the subleases early. The second amendment provides
that, as these buildings are determined to be leasable again, they will be re- included in
the leased premises through further amendment to the LIFOC.
In addition to amending Exhibit A of the LIFOC to address leased premises, the second
amendment modifies the comprehensive General Liability Insurance requirements by
reducing insurance coverage from $3,000,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence with
respect to property damage. This change will make it easier for sub- tenants to acquire
insurance without the added cost of supplemental insurance to meet the previous Navy
requirement of $3,000,000. Finally, section 19, submission of Notices, is being
amended to remove references to specific people and replace those references with
positions (e.g., Executive Director, General counsel, etc.).
The LIFOC provides that if there is a conflict between the ARRA's sub leasing activities
and the Navy's environmental clean up obligations pursuant to the FFA., the Navy's
clean up obligations take precedence. The proposed second amendment is consistent
with section 13.4 of the LIFOC. In addition, the Navy has agreed to lower the insurance
requirements as requested by ARRA, thereby making it easier for sub tenants to obtain
the required Insurance. Therefore, it is recommended that the ARRA Board approve
the second amendment.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
As noted above, buildings 44, 50, 113, and 133 are currently sub leased. The ARRA
receives $235,548 annually from sub -lease revenues for these buildings. Once the
current subleases expire, these buildings will be removed from the leased premises.
Honorable chair and March 4, 2009
Members of the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority Page 3 of 3
However, the businesses in buildings 44 and 113 have already relocated or will relocate
soon to other facilities at Alameda Point, so there will be no annual loss of revenue.
One of these tenants, Nelson's Marine, will be vacating at the end of March 2009, and
consolidating into existing rental space at another Alameda Point building. The ARRA
will lose $95,904 in annual rent with the removal of building 00 from the leased
premises.
The sublease for building 103 does not expire until September 2010, so there is no
immediate financial impact to removing this building from the leased premises; however,
if the lease were to be terminated, it represents a loss of $71,505 annually in revenue.
In addition, the Navy has indicated that it may be possible to do the required
environmental work at building 103 without displacing the tenant. Lastly, it is possible
that some, or all, of these buildings will be returned to the leased premises and be
available for sub -lease in the future.

Alameda Point Lease in Furtherance of Conveyance with the United States Navy.

Re: Alameda Point Update Presentation of Project Proforma
In July 2007, the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority (ARRA), Community
Improvement Commission (CIC), 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 pilaster 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 the ARRA on December 19, 2003. ARRA staff and
consultants worked cooperatively with SunCal in the preparation of these documents. A
final Navy Term Sheet outlining the terms of conveyance (Terra Sheet) is required to be
negotiated and completed by July 30, 2009.
Concurrent with SunCal's and ARRA's joint efforts, ARRA staff has worked closely with
its economic consultant, Economic Planning Systems (EPS), and cooperatively with
SunCal, to prepare a Project Proforma based primarily on the final Business Plan. The
Project Proforma is controlled and managed by ARRA staff and EPS and will evolve
throughout the entitlement process as information is refined and land use plans are
solidified. The Project Proforma estimates revenues and costs of the Project during the
development period and serves as a strategic and analytical tool for negotiating and
memorializing the provisions of the Term Sheet with the Navy and the Alameda Point
Disposition and Development Agreement with SunCal.
Under the ENA, documents specified by Suncal as confidential will not be disclosed to
the public. Suncal has informed staff that the documents pertaining to financial models,
such as the final Business Plan, the precise estimate for costs and revenues, and the
Honorable Chair and Members March 4, 2009

Project Proforma, are confidential. Suncal deems there confidential because they
contain figures and financial models developed from proprietary information and/or
trade secrets that would disadvantage suncal if disclosed to potential competitors.
These types of documents are not public records.
DISCUSSION
This staff report provides a non confidential summary of the Project Proforma and
outlines proposed next steps with the Navy in pursuing a final conveyance Terra Sheet.
Summary of Project Proforma
The Project Proforma is based on the December 19, 2008 draft /faster Plan, including
the following:
over 100 acres of parks and open space;
Regional sports complex;
significant transit improvements, including citywide infrastructure;
west End Branch Library and collections;
Upgrades to Fire station 8;
New school;
Preservation and adaptive reuse of existing buildings in the historic district; and
Affordable housing.
The Project Proforma also assumes fiscal neutrality is achieved through dedicated
annual assessment revenue and direct payments by the project, when necessary. All
new development at Alameda Point will pay an annual assessment to fund General
Fund obligations created by the project. The assessment amount is based on estimates
of Public works expenditures at project completion, and then levied on all development
on a per -unit or per square -foot basis from day one of the project.
During the years before project completion, when the assessment revenue does not
cover the full cost of projected adverse impacts on the General Fund budget, the project
will make direct payments to the city's General Fund, thereby ensuring fiscal neutrality.
In analyzing the estimated impacts of the redevelopment of Alameda Point on the city's
General Fund, BPS prepared a fiscal impact analysis, which makes conservative
assumptions in terms of both potential project revenues and costs.
Honorable chair and Members March 4, 2009

The Alameda Paint Project Proforma currently assumes that project revenues consist
primarily of residential and commercial land sales, interim leasing, public redevelopment
tax increment financing, land secured financing, and private financing. Costs include
public facilities and services, backbone infrastructure, financing casts, and indirect
costs, such s p p p h redevela rnent expenses, professional services, fees, Development
Services Department administration, and lease revenue bond repayment. Remaining
amounts would be available for payment for land or developer profit. Because a
Proforma is a financial "snapshot in time there are various aspects of the Project
Proforma that will require further refinement and resolution among SunCal, the Navy,
and the ARRA as development negotiations continue.
Summary of Next Steps with Navy
Initially, the master developer selection process and ENA anticipated that the developer
would pursue conveyance of the Alameda Point property based on the requirements of
the 2000 draft Term Sheet negotiated between the Navy and ARRA. During the last 18
months, SunCal has conducted due diligence work, in cooperation with ARRA staff and
consultants, including analyzing property development constraints, and has concluded
that a financially viable land plan requires portions of the previous Term Sheet be re-
negotiated. As a result, ARRA staff submitted the most recent version of the Project
Proforma to the Navy on December 22, 2008, and held a meeting with the Navy,
SunCal on January 8, 2000, to present the assumptions contained in the Project
Proforma and discuss staff's and SunCal's conclusion that the proposed APCP /Navy
Term sheet is no longer viable. The provisions of the former Term sheet concluded no
longer viable include: (1) the extent of the property to be conveyed, (2) the amount of
land payment, (3) the amount of a per'unit "premium" payment, if any, (4) the type of
transfer; and (5) privatized versus Navy retained environmental clean up. The Navy's
economic consultants have asked numerous questions of bath the ARRA and SunCal
and will provide feedback regarding the assumptions in the Project Proforma and the
overall conveyance proposal by the end of the month.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact on the ARRA and General Fund budgets as a result of
receiving the Project Proforma. The cast recovery provision in the SunCal BNA
requires that suncal reimburse the ARRA for any staff or consultant cost.
RECOMMENDATION
This report is for information only. No action is required.

Re: Approve a Five-Year Lease and Repa Plan/Write-off with AC
Hornet Foundation
The initial lease with the Hornet Museum Foundation was executed in April 1998
for pier space and a parkin lot 80 feet of pier and approx 250,000 sf parkin
lot The lease was amended in Ma 1999 after the Hornet was unable to meet
its rent obli The base rent for the piers was restructured and lowered
si The parkin lot rent was also lowered, and a portion of retroactive
base rent was deferred for two y ears. A portion of base rent, which was not
deferred, was for
In Au 2000, the lease was amended a second time, si reducin the
base rent to $8,500 per month, total, for both pier space and parkin lot, and the
parkin lot premises were reduced b approximatel 7,260 sf. At the time, the
Hornet was 20 months behind in rent pa and the Alameda Point master
developer, propert mana and Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment
Authorit ARRA) staff met with the Hornet to discuss a rent repa plan.
In November 2005, after the Hornet a became delin in rent pa
the ARRA and the Hornet entered into a license a re rent for the
g reater of $3500 monthl or $1.00 for ever museum patron. An amount over
$3500 would be applied to the outstandin balance the Hornet accrued durin
the lease period.
The license a was developed so that the Hornet could both be
pa rent and reduce the lar balance owed to the ARRA. Before the license
a was si the g rowin g rent delin had caused the Hornet to
accrue a lar debt. The Actin Cit Mana ne this solution to allow
the ARRA to g enerate revenue from the pier occupied b the Hornet, while at the
same time assistin the Hornet with reducin its debt. At y ear-end 2005, the
Hornet's arrears were $555,335.
Honorable Chair and March 4, 2000
Members of the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority Page 2 of 3
DISCUSSION
Under the 2005 license agreement, the Hornet has been consistently paying its
minimum balance and has paid $38,531 above the minimum toward its original
outstanding debt. However, the Hornet has had difficulty securing financing and
attracting large donors because of the large rent liability it carries on its books. In
addition, many of the corporate holiday parties scheduled on the Hornet at the
end of last year were canceled.
The ARRA's current financial reports are carrying funds owed from eight years
ago. Neither eviction nor standard debt collection practices appear to be a
solution to this problem. The Hornet is not in a position to pay these delinquent
rents and continue to invest in the numerous capital needs of the museum ship.
As a result, staff has discussed a partial repayment option with the Hornet and
proposes the ARRA consider new lease terms.
Under the proposed new lease agreement, in place of the monthly minimum
payment of $3500 per month or $42,000 annually, the Hornet will be required to
make an annual rent payment of $33,000 ($3000 per month). The Hornet will
have five years to pay back 50% of its arrears ($277,558). For every dollar that
the Hornet pays to the arrears, it is proposed that the ARRA also reduce the
amount owed by one dollar. If at the end of the five -year period, the Hornet has
not paid down the entire $277,038, the ARRA will restore the portion of arrears
written off, and it will all come due. staff will provide an annual progress report
on the repayment plan.
Although the license was executed in 2005, the ARRA was reluctant to accept
the license as payment for the Hornet's original lease obligation. As a result, the
ARRA has been tracking what the Hornet would owe if the old lease were in
effect. This amount, which appears in the ARRA's financial documents and on
the Hornet's ledgers, is $332,608, plus the $555,335 owed as of the end of 2005.
Should the ARRA approve the new lease and repayment plan, staff will no longer
s
report or track information related to the original lease agreement.
At the February 3, 2000 ARRA meeting, the ARRA considered the five -year
lease with the Hornet and added several conditions:
1. The Hornet must provide the ARRA with audited financials and allow the
ARRA access to their financial documents.
Since the meeting, the Hornet has provided staff with a draft of their fiscal
years 2007 and 2008 audited financials.
2. The Hornet must provide the ARRA with information on whether any of its
creditors have released the Hornet of its debt obligation and where the
ARRA's position is among the creditors.
Honorable Chair and March 4, 2009
Members of the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority Page 3 of 3
The Hornet has provided staff with several letters of debt write -off from its
creditors. 1111'ore specifically, the Hornet's largest debt stemming from
September 2003 has been classified as long -term debt, as the creditor
has not demanded payments since December 2004 and has stated
"should the foundation be in a position to repay the loan in the future, it will
renegotiate repayment terms." Therefore ARRA would be in first position
for repayment.
3. The Hornet must have a business plan.
The Hornet has had several business plans and will provide the ARRA
with a revised plan, since they recen named their new Executive
Director. under the proposed lease, the ARRA would require the Hornet
to provide its revised business plan within the first six months of the lease.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The lease revenue that the ARRA receives from the Hornet will be reduced by
$5000, from $42,000 annually to $36,000. The ARRA will begin to recapture half
of the $555,335 owed by the Hornet under its former lease agreement. At the
end of the five -year term, the ARRA will need write off up to half of the $555,335
$277,668) if the Hornet meets its repayment goal. This action will significantly
restructure the ARRA's uncollected rent reporting within its monthly financial
statement. The Hornet currently accounts for 42% of the ARRA's monthly
reported uncollected rents.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve a five -year lease and repayment plan /write -off with AC Hornet.

Interoffice Memorandum I W
From: Debra Kurita
Executive Director

Re: Provide Leasing Guidance for Proposed Autocross /Motocross Events in the
Northwest Territories at Alameda Point
BACKGROUND
In late 2008, staff received a leasing referral from a member of the Alameda Reuse and
Redevelopment Authority (ARRA) Governing Board for an individual who was interested
in leasing the northwest Territories for an autocross (performance course in
automobiles) event. Currently, the only autocross event allowed at Alameda Point is
operated by the Porsche Club. The Porsche club has a use permit which allows a
limited number of events per year.
DISCUSSION
Upon meeting with the applicant, it became evident that he wanted to hold more than an
occasional autocross event. Initially the applicant proposed a master lease for the
entire Northwest Territories in which existing users would go through the master lease
for access to the area, and the Antiques Fair would be assigned to the entity for
management and coordination. This lease structure was proposed because the
applicant had planned to make extensive investment into the property in order to meet
autocross standards. In addition to the autocross, the applicant thought the Northwest
Territories would be a desirable location for special events such as car, boat, and RV
shows. The applicant would pay the ARRA a flat fee for the property, and the ARRA
would also share in a percentage rent and profits from merchandise sales and parking.
After further consideration, the master lease concept was rejected. The applicant will
have first priority for leasing on non Antique Fair weekends.
As part of the initial feasibility review of the proposal, the applicant and staff presented
the plan to the Alameda Point developer. SunCal approved of the proposed use for five
years, with an additional five -year option, provided the applicant be prepared to reduce
their leased premises upon SunCal's request.
Honorable Chair and Members of the
Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority

Page 2of3
During the staff review period, the applicant's planned use for the area grew. The
applicant wanted to have an autocross, motocross, 1/8 mile racing strip, space for an
outdoor pavilion, and activities such as rodeos and circuses. The expanded plan
included the entire Northwest Territories, including areas currently restricted by the
Navy, so the development would need to occur in phases.
In addition to expanding the plan for the property, the applicant talked to a variety of
event sponsors and marketed this site as a potential west coast location for autocross
and motocross events. Unlike the current autocross events at Alameda Point, the plan
was to have multiple autocross events at the same time separated by K- rails, with no
limit on the number of events. Staff was provided with a business plan with cost
estimates of investments needed to be made in the property and projected revenue.
The applicant's activities piqued the interest of the autocross community, and staff and
leasing agents began receiving a number of inquiries and requests. Most of the users
wanted to hold side -by -side racing events and wanted to lease directly from ARRA,
other than going through the applicant. After receiving inquiries from other potential site
users, staff told the applicant that no commitments could be made until the ARRA
Governing Board had an opportunity to discuss the matter.
As part of its due diligence, staff also contacted the ARRA's environmental consultant,
Risk Manager, and the Police Department about this proposal. In the short: term, the
ongoing environmental remediation at Alameda Point prevents all of the other proposed
uses except the autocross and 118 mile racing strip. The Risk Manager stated that the
City /ARRA could sanction racing and at the same time shield the city from liability by
taking specific steps to mitigate exposure, such as requiring the applicant to reimburse
the ARRA /City for the cost of special event insurance in addition to the usual insurance
requirements.
The Alameda Police Department had concerns over the 1/8 mile race strip, because
Alameda Point is such a large property with several secluded areas, and overzealous
racers may stray from the sanctioned area onto Alameda Point and other city streets.
They do not want this location to be a designated place for drag racing or side shows
and become a problem and an added straIn on City resources. The applicant met with
police and discussed how they have addressed these issues at other locations. The
police are willing to see if the same strategies will work in Alameda. In regards to
autocross events, APD requests special event permits for each event, thereby giving
APD the opportunity to ensure safety is provided for participants, guests, and the
community. A new or amended use permit would be required for this proposed lease,
which would allow for additional public review and comment.
After reviewing the entire applicant proposal (See Attachment 1) and receiving feedback
from Planning, Police, Risk Management and others the staff recommendation is to:
Honorable Chair and Members of the
Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authorit
March 4, 2009
Pa 3 of 3
Lease the 1/8 mile and autocross strips to the applicant for all non-Anti Fair
weekends;
Allow the 118 mile racin but if an off-site racin event occurs on Alameda Point
or other Alameda Cit street, this activit will be suspended;
Allow unlimited autocross activit on the non-Anti Fair weekends; and
Consider remainin uses at future ARRA meetin when the propert becomes
available.
The ARRA is bein re to discuss and provide direction on the followin
q uestions: L
1. Does the ARRA want to entertain a phased development of the Northwest
Territories or would the ARRA prefer that the applicant onl plan for propert
available now? This q uestion is necessar as it will have financial implications
for the applicant on short and lon term investments.
2. Does the ARRA want to allow 118 mile side-b racin conducted under
International Hot Rod Association standards?
3. Does the ARRA want to allow multiple autocross events runnin concurrentl at
Alameda Point?
RECOMMENDATION
Provide leasin g uidance for proposed autocross/motocross events in the Northwest
Territories at Alameda Point.

Highlights and Analysis
Item 4 -A
RAB members resent: Tale Smith. (co- chair), Fred Hoffman, Joan Konrad, Jinn. Leach, Jean
Sweeney, Jim. Sweeney, and Michael John Torrey
Remediation and other field work. in progress:
Debris pi.l.e removal along north shore of Seaplane Lagoon—continuing—removal of pile
I complete with about 25,000 yd having been excavated. Removal of the smaller debris
pile 2 is in progress. The excavated debris pile material is to be hauled off site for
disposal.
While not presented at the RAB meeting, the following field -work activities are also in.
progress
o Groundwater petroleum remediation near Atlantic Avenue entrance;
o Groundwater treatment at IR Site 5 to remove solvent (Plum.e. 5 -3) using 6-phase
heating;
o The petroleum remediation system at the southern end of the western hangar row
is continuing to extract much more jet fuel. than was expected; and
o Installation of the air- spargelvapor extraction system to treat groundwater
contaminated with benzene and naphthalene at Alameda Point OU-5 and FISCA
IR Site 2.
Community Relations Plan
The Navy announced that it is updating the Alameda Point Com.rn.unity Relations Plan (CRP).
The CRP is used to guide the Navy on how to communicate with and involve the community. It
can also be used by the community to learn about Alameda Point and whom to contact at the
Navy. Alameda Point's CRP was last updated in 2003.
IR Site 2 Nest Beach Landfill. and Wetlands Feasibility Stud
The Navy presented a detailed overview of the IR Site 2 FS to the RAB. This site is the
southwest corner of the former base and includes about 70 acres of landfill and 33 acres of
wetlands. IR S1.te 2 is planned 'for Fed -to-Fed transfer from the Navy to the Department of
Veterans Affairs.
The IR Site 2 FS evaluates alternatives for soil remediation separately from alternatives for
groundwater remediation. In addition to consideration of the "no action" alternatives, the FS
evaluates three soil. alternatives and two g roundwater alternatives:
Foil
Multilayer Soil Cover, Engineering and Institutional. Controls (ICs), and Monitoring. This
alternative would cover the landfill with a 3 -foot thick soil cover which would be
designed to physically isolate the waste from contact by humans and wildlife. The ICs

Highlights and Analysis
would be designed to prevent sensitive land uses, disturbance of the cover, disturbance of
wells and other monitoring facilities, etc. Navy's cost estimate: $21 million This is the
Nav 's preferred alternative for soil..
Engineered Cap, Engineering and ICs, and Monitoring. This alternative is the same as the
above Alternative, except that this Alternative would cover the landfill. with a 3 -foot thick
engineered ca that is designed, not only to isolate the waste, but to prevent most rainfall
from percolating through the landfill. Navy's cost estimate: $47 million
Near Complete Removal. and Backfill, Dewatering, Engineering and ICs, Disposal, and
Monitoring. This alternative would remove all waste, except for a minor amount to
protect the wetlands, and dispose of it off site. Navy's cost estimate: $903 million
Cly r ti "d wutpr
Monitored Natural Attenuation and Engineering and ICs. The Navy would monitor
groundwater quality to verify that natural processes are lowering contaminant levels over
tune. Navy cost estimate: $6 million This is the Nav 's preferred alternative for
groundwater.
w
Hydraulic Barrier, Pump and Treat, Disposal, :Monitored Natural Attenuation, and
Engineering and ICs. This alternative involves pumping groundwater from strategically
placed wells to control potential migration of groundwater: so potential discharge of
contaminants to San Francisco Bay is prevented. The extracted groundwater would be
treated before disposal. Navy cost estimate: $23 million
The RAB discussion of the FS focused primarily on (1) whether the presence of waste has been
adequately characterized both within the presumed landfill boundary and outside it, and (2)
whether the perimeter monitoring well network is adequate for detecting contaminated
groundwater migrating to San Francisco Bay.
In response to extensive comments on the draft FS, including those of the RAB, the scope of the
alternatives was enhanced in preparing the final. FS. For example, the rernediation footprint was
expanded, the thickness of the soil. cover and engineered cap was increased from. 2 feet to 3 feet,
groundwater contamination and its remediation was evaluated in. greater detail, and estimated
costs were updated.
The draft Proposed Plan for IR Site Z will to be available for review by the ARRA and the
environmental regulatory agencies, then. distributed for public review in March or April 2009.
