HEARINGS
90 -114 Consideration of changing the name of Main Street, between
Pacific Avenue and the terminus of Main Street at the Naval Air
Station, to Mulvany Street.
President Corica explained the procedure of the hearing.
The Acting Planning Director reviewed the background of the matter.
President Corica opened the public portion of the hearing.
On the call for proponents, there were none.
On the call for opponents, the following persons spoke.
Stanley Boersma, 1200 Hawthorne Street, stated the money he has
just spent for advertising stationery, phone book, map, etc., will
be lost if the street name is changed, and suggested the name,
Mulvany, be used for a new street rather than an existing street.
Robert DeCelle, P.O. Box 1606, Chairman, Historical Advisory
Board, stated the Board believes streets should not be named for
people until there is background research and historical data;
does not oppose the name Mulvany but recommends deferring to a
later date; the renaming of Main Street is to coincide with the
Naval Air Station celebration of its fifthieth anniversary, which
does not occur until November, the Board's proposal for a Street
Naming Policy should be ready by then, and businesses would have
an opportunity to plan and not be adversely impacted by the name
change.
President Corica closed the public portion of the hearing.
Councilmember Camicia moved staff's recommendation to defer this
item until the Historical Advisory Board completes its review and
recommendation made consistent with change of area code.
Councilmember Withrow seconded the motion which was carried by
unanimous voice vote - 5.
REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
90 -115 From Chairman, Historical Advisory Board, regarding Street
Naming Policy. [Heard in conjunction with Hearing. See 90 -114]
90 -116 From City Manager regarding the Joint Exercise of Powers
Agreement for Solid Waste Management.
President Corica announced that he will abstain from voting on this
issue because a family member works for Oakland Scavenger.
Councilmember Withrow requested Councilmember Thomas, as Council
liaison to Alameda County Waste Management Authority, comment on
her views.
February 20, 1990
Councilmember Thomas commented the change is simply to comply with
Assembly Bill 939 requirements, the benefits to the City of Alameda
are great; and moved acceptance. Councilmember Camicia seconded
the motion which was carried by the following voice vote: Ayes:
Councilmembers Arnerich, Camicia, Thomas, and Withrow - 4. Noes:
None. Absent: None. Abstention: President Corica - 1.
90 -117 From City Manager regarding Program Performance Review,
1988 -89 Fiscal Year.
Charles Tillman, 2415 Roosevelt Drive, stated he does not believe
the Program Performance Review is worthwhile unless the audit is
completed so that figures may be verified; the contract with the
audit firm provides for a $250 per day penalty payment when not
meeting a deadline; Council should be notified if there is an
extension; if it is auditor error, the penalty should be paid
which currently is approximately $15,000; if it is not auditor
error, Council should be notified why there is a delay.
President Corica stated if the Finance Director can confirm the
City is owed $15,000 in late penalties, the City should collect the
money.
Councilman Arnerich remarked if the audit is late, Council should
be reviewing the matter.
Mr. Tillman suggested the Performance Review be held over until
the audit is ready; and questioned if the City Auditor is still an
employee of Haskins & Sells.
The Finance Director verified the audit is late; the City Auditor
is employed by Deloitte, Haskins & Sells, which merged with the
audit firm Touche Ross in December and is now Deloitte Touche, but
the field work had been completed in October.
The City Attorney stated she reviewed the matter, checked with the
Attorney General's Office, and there is not a conflict of interest
in this specific situation because the contract was entered into
prior to Mr. Harper joining the firm; however, the firm is aware
it cannot do an audit for the City because Mr. Harper is now a
member of the firm, and it has not submitted a proposal for further
auditing.
The Finance Director commented the auditors, this year, are
including additional information at the request of the City to
provide more summaries, reports and statistical information.
The City Manager stated staff, upon receipt of the Audit, will
prepare a report and recommendation on liquidated damages.
Councilmember Withrow stated the City should pursue the $200 per
day penalty; and requested the next Request for Proposal (RFP)
include more current set of audits, between 60 and 90 days.
The Finance Director commented most municipalities expect an audit
to take six months, but she will pursue a shorter time frame.
February 20, 1990

Councilman Arnerich stated Council should have been notified of
delays and the reasons for same; and added that contracts should
be followed up, including appropriate charges for penalties.
Councilmember Withrow requested a progressive audit where defined
figures are audited so Council can receive the goals by objectives
report on a quarterly basis.
Councilmember Withrow made a motion to defer acceptance of the
Program Performance Review until the Audit is brought before
Council. Councilmember Camicia seconded the motion.
Councilmember Thomas stated the RFP should indicate, in terms of
the ,liquidated damages clause, a time frame for add -ons and
changes, and concurred with Councilmember Withrow the penalty
clause should be enforced.
The motion was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
90 -118 From General Manager, Bureau of Electricity, regarding
street lights on Marina and Windsor Drives.
Vera Silva, 3026 Windsor Drive, stated she has been affected by
outages on Windsor Drive and urged Council to seriously consider
replacing the street light system on behalf of the neighborhood.
Christopher Buckley, 1017 San Antonio Avenue, stated the street
lights in question are historical and requested confirmation that
there would be no change to the appearance of the street lights
other than the change of light.
The General Manager, Bureau of Electricity, stated the standards
would not be changed, the lights would be changed from "series" to
"multiple" so they do not go off all at once, and incandescent
lighting would be replaced with high pressure sodium lighting; the
historic value would be preserved.
Virginia Falconer, 2012 Cambridge Drive, discussed the amount of
lighting and requested assurance there would be no change in wires.
The General Manager, Bureau of Electricity stated the wires will be
underground.
Councilmember Camicia moved the recommendation to proceed
immediately [with the project of replacing the street light
system]. Councilmember Withrow seconded the motion which was
carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
90 -119 From Community Development Director regarding Alameda County
Economic Development Program.
Bruce Kern, Economic Affairs Director of the County of Alameda,
1221 Oak Street, Oakland, reviewed the background of the matter,
including establishing the Ad Hoc Economic Development Committee
and its goals; presented a report and a summary of the comments of
February 20, 1990
various agencies, e.g., Mayors Conference, Sierra Club; and noted
agreement on three part program that was outlined which indicated a
need of improving the business climate, work on growth management
problems, and building a more competitive work force; stated the
Board of Supervisors received the report, endorsed it in principle,
and allowed for a 45 -day period of time; the program is a
cooperative program and only works if all are sharing the same
objectives, with joint financing and participation.
President Corica stated Council will accept copies of documents
submitted to Council (Final Report and Consultation document),
review them, and direct staff to contact Mr. Kern with Council's
concerns.
President Corica further stated Council should accept the report,
and after reading the County report and receiving a staff report
and recommendation, inform County of City's concerns and proceed
from there. Councilmember Camicia so moved. Councilman Arnerich
seconded the motion which was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
90 -120 From Public Works Director regarding the parking
requirements in conjunction with the proposed library site.
Diane Coler -Dark, 2857 Jackson Street, expressed concerns regarding
parking meter fund; believes fund should have been used for
additional parking spaces for Park Street area instead of being
placed in the General fund; and requested Council not accept
report.
Councilmember Withrow stated he has problems with parking meters;
a behavior is created to keep people moving so it does not identify
the fact that there is a parking shortage; if there is to be a
goal of controlling the movement of people who park, there should
be a collateral goal that would, in terms of parking, accommodate
the need and motivate more people to go to the commercial area;
requested the Traffic Advisory Committee [TAC] review and provide
Council with downside impact of removal of all parking meters from
the City.
President Corica stated one of the first things to do is ask the
merchants of Webster and Park Streets how they view the matter [of
City -wide parking meter removal]; one concern could be business
owners and employees using parking spaces in front of other
businesses.
Councilmember Withrow remarked that President Corica's comments are
valid, he would like TAC to put that into balance and identify to
what degree there would be a problem with employees; and noted
there is a great deal of animosity in the City among people who get
parking tickets, and they do not return to the business area.
Councilmember Thomas commented removing meters will not increase
the amount of parking on Park Street; a multi -level garage should
be built; parking needs in the area will increase because of the
library, the jail and City Hall expansion.
February 20, 1990
Councilman Arnerich requested staff consider additional parking in
the area above what is recommended in the report; including a
three -level parking lot with 233 parking spaces.
Councilmember Camicia commented the report is an interim report to
investigate various solutions and funding alternatives and moved
approval of the recommendation and consideration of Councilmembers'
comments. Councilmember Withrow seconded the motion which was
carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
90 -121 From Public Works Director regarding the status of the ferry
system.
President Corica commented there is concern that the City is not
paying Mr. Beery for his work on the ferry system; explained that
is not the case, that applications were made for emergency funding,
John Beery's application was not approved and the City is now
appealing on John Beery's behalf.
In response to Councilmember Withrow's inquiries, the Public Works
Director addressed the December 31st Federal Emergency Management
Agency [FEMA] cut -off date, and applications to the State for
subsidization.
President Corica stated when he was in Washington, he discussed
with Secretary of Transportation Sam Skinner the possibility of
obtaining a subsidy for another year, and Secretary Skinner is
sending two persons from Washington to discuss the matter.
Councilmember Camicia commented Senator Quentin Kopp will soon
introduce a new Bill before the March 2nd deadline to raise Bay
Area bridge tolls to $2.00, which would increase funding for
ferries.
Councilman Arnerich requested Council receive the revised ferry
schedules noted in paragraph V of the report; and discussed the
adjustments that will be made when the license to use Navy property
for a portion of the ferry facility expires on March 23.
Councilmember Withrow moved to accommodate the recommendations;
and modified the second sentence of recommendation by requesting
inclusion of language that authorization is for application and not
procurement. Councilmember Camicia seconded the motion.
Councilmember Thomas discussed the cost of the barge and
maintenance on the parking lot and shelter, with the Public Works
Director, who stated costs would be approximately $14,000 per
month.
Councilman Arnerich discussed lease /purchase cost of a barge.
Councilmember Thomas inquired what
the Public Works Director responded
The motion was carried by unanimous
February 20, 1990
funding would be used, to which
Measure B funds could be used.
voice vote - 5.
90 -122 From Public Works Director regarding request from the
Oakland Scavenger Company for a change in the Alameda Municipal
Code to allow refuse collection activities to start at 5:30 a.m.
Dr. Leon Lang, 2051 Shoreline Drive, stated that he and other
retired persons in the neighborhood should not be awakened early by
garbage trucks; discussed routing of trucks; and requested
Council's help.
Harry Carsch, 2101 Shoreline Drive, requested Council not permit
garbage pickup before 7:00 a.m.; being awakened at 5:30 a.m.
every day would be detrimental to health.
The City Manager stated the speakers described areas where
commercial areas abut residential areas; Oakland Scavenger prefers
to start in commercial areas to avoid commute traffic and prevent
problem of double parking.
Councilmember Withrow stated the argument that Park Street would be
impacted traffic -wise if the City did not allow an earlier pickup,
has merit; but he does not believe South Shore or other arteries
should be included; suggested earlier time frame limited to Park
Street, and research whether Council can authorize times for
specific areas.
The City Manager noted the ordinance could be tailored to address
certain areas.
David MacDonald, Executive Vice President, Oakland Scavenger
Company, stated the practice of the former company has been
continued with respect to garbage collection starting at 5:30 a.m.,
complaints have been minimal; the company attempts to work out
problems with customers; 13 jurisdictions are served and work must
be coordinated; past practice with unions must be dealt with; it
is an efficiency issue to move rapidly through congested areas.
Councilmember Camicia inquired if areas such as Park Street could
be addressed to ease problems; to which Mr. MacDonald responded
with possible alternatives.
Larry Dias, Teamsters Local 70, 70 Hegenberger Road, Oakland,
stated this is a health and safety issue for workers, there is
danger of garbage men getting into accidents as traffic builds;
and requested Council consider the interest of the workers.
Councilmember Camicia asked what union members could do to ease
problems in the commercial /residential areas, to which Mr. Dias
replied there is no reason the truckdrivers cannot go into the
Safeway Store area at 7:00 a.m.; such isolated incidents can be
handled.
Councilmember Camicia stated perhaps it is appropriate to refer the
matter to the Planning Board for a hearing concerning a 5:30 a.m.
start; suggested the Company and the Union work on Mr. Dias's
suggestion for a 7:00 a.m. start at Safeway, before going to the
February 20, 1990
Planning Board.
Councilman Arnerich stated he observed the front -end loader trucks
on Park Steet; the trucks moved quickly through the parking lane
to pick up refuse; when cars began parking at 7:00 a.m., the
movement of the trucks in and out of the parking lane presented a
more dangerous situation; and he agreed with Councilmember Camicia
that the matter should be sent to the Planning Board to hold public
discussions.
Councilmember Camicia moved the City work with Waste Management
staff to provide a recommendation [site specific) for Planning
Board consideration; suggested Waste Management and Union work
together to immediately solve the problem at Shoreline and Willow,
and the Safeway parking lot. Councilmember Withrow seconded the
motion which was carried by the following voice vote: Ayes:
Councilmembers Arnerich, Camicia, Thomas and Withrow - 4. Noes:
None. Absent: None. Abstention: President Corica - 1. [Because
family member works for Oakland Scavenger]
90 -123 From Finance Director regarding mid -year review of budget,
Fiscal Year, 1989 -90.
The City Manager commented on the background of the subject.
President Corica inquired if the City Manager had suggestions for
raising money for the City Attorney's budget request, and avoiding
the necessity of approving the entire amount at this time.
The City Manager responded the additional costs are estimated, and
perhaps money could be saved in other departments; planned
expenditures could be approved with the caveat that Council would
look toward the end of the year and if the total amount is not
required, an adjustment would be made for what is required at that
time; and it would not be increased beyond the figure stated.
President Corica stated that would be the way to proceed.
Councilman Arnerich stated he would like to refer the matter back
to the City Manager's office and Finance Director to work with
department heads to determine what can be done to offset this
appropriation and save money in other areas, so that the additional
appropriation does not need to be made at this time, however
Council can go ahead and pay necessary expenditures.
Councilmember Withrow requested clarification, and the City Manager
responded that the figure reflecting increase in appropriation is
$1,094,056 and is an estimate of what is needed between now and the
end of the fiscal year; alternatives would be 1) to authorize
appropriation from the fund balance of the General Fund to the
departments shown on the schedule and authorize monies to be
expended; 2) direct staff save as much money as possible in any
other areas, look for additional savings, and only make an
adjustment to the appropriation at the end of the fiscal year of
the amount that is necessary, but in no case to exceed $1,094,056.
February 20, 1990
Councilmember Withrow moved authorization for staff to go over
budget; overexpenditures will be covered at the end of the
[fiscal) year up to, and including, the figure [$1,094,056] that is
requested for authorization, but not detail on a line item basis.
In response to Councilmember Thomas's inquiry, the Acting Planning
Director noted it is intended the draft General Plan and draft
Environmental Impact Report will be ready for hearings in July, and
adoption by December, 1990.
Councilmember Thomas noted the Municipal Code is to be revised, and
expressed concern there might be a necessity of additional
revision; believes the General Plan should be done first, then
amendments to the Code.
The City Attorney responded the Code has not been updated since
November, 1988, will be reviewed for compliance with State and
Federal law, will be updated to include the Ordinances adopted
since 1988, and could take six months to do.
Councilmember Thomas noted her concern is that the Combined Land
Use Plan indicated there should be special districts, etc., those
items have not been codified; there are also other considerations,
e.g., definitions that are broad in scope, she does not want the
work to be done twice, and does not know if the changes should be
done now or when the General Plan is adopted.
The City Attorney noted there would be updating for about $2000 to
$3000 per year service fee, to include new ordinances into the
existing code.
Councilmember Camicia seconded the motion which was carried by
unanimous voice vote - 5.

shuttle.
Councilmember Camicia suggested a press release of the information
to the local papers on availability of service.
