Agenda Item
(98-553) Recommendation to authorize the expenditure of up to
$8,000 for purposes of sending the City Attorney's Impartial
Analyses of Measures A and B to all registered Alameda voters.
Gerhard Degemann, Chair, Committee to Support Measure B, spoke in
support of the staff recommendation.
Vice Mayor DeWitt inquired whether the expenditure of $8,000 for
the purpose of sending the Impartial Analyses to Alameda voters was
a legal expenditure, to which the City Attorney responded in the
affirmative and stated a similar mailer was sent in 1992.
Councilmember Kerr stated the Impartial Analyses are in the Voters
Pamphlet; it is very dry material; and commented that a one-line
mailer would be more effective.
Vice Mayor DeWitt stated that he thought the Measures would pass in
November without the proposed mailer.
Councilmember Daysog stated it is important to make a last ditch
effort, and the City should not miss an opportunity to reach the
voters.
Councilmember Lucas stated the Analyses contain too much reading

Councilmember Kerr stated that she could support material that

The City Attorney commented that material other than Impartial
Analyses would have to include both sides of the question and

recommendation.
The motion FAILED due to lack of a second.
