Adopted. Councilmember Monsef made a motion to adopt the resolution. Councilmember Thomas seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. The City Clerk administered the oath to Ms. Johnson. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS 88-388 From Mr. Stanford Shane, 470-D Cola Ballena, requesting permission to address the Council on the subject of working for Alameda. Mr. Shane expressed his concerns about the City budget and the performance of City staff. Councilmember Thomas commented Mr. Shane raised some good points but a number of items have already been reviewed. Councilmember Camicia made a motion to accept the communication. Councilmember Thomas seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 88-389 From David Fullerton, Chair, Sierra Club Bay Chapter Water Committee, 6014 College Avenue, Oakland, requesting Council's support in opposing certain East Bay Municipal Utility District proposals. Bob Matteson, 2127 Adeline Street, Oakland, East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) employee, requested Council take no action on the Sierra Club request until a qualified representative of EBMUD is permitted to make a presentation to Council of EBMUD's Water Supply Management Program. Councilmember Haugner commented she is concerned about water supply; and hopes EBMUD will make a good presentation at the next meeting. President Corica agreed with having an EBMUD presentation at the next meeting of Council. Councilmember Camicia moved the recommendation for the presentation. Councilmember Thomas suggested the communication be accepted first. The motion failed for lack of a second. Councilmember Haugner moved acceptance of the written communication. Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. June 21, 1988 177 Councilmember Haugner moved that the recommendation to have a representative of EBMUD make a presentation to Council at the next meeting, be approved. Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 88-390 From David Fullerton, Chair, Sierra Club Bay Chapter Water Committee, 6014 College Avenue, Oakland, requesting endorsement of the San Francisco Bay-Delta Estuary Protections resolution. President Corica commented perhaps Council should wait until the public hearing process [State Water Resources Control Board] is concluded. Councilmember Thomas made a motion to accept the communication. Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 88-391 From several Burbank Street residents regarding traffic on sunny weekends. Ralph Yandell, 1319 Burbank Street, requested Council investigate the matter of barricades and parking solutions regarding traffic on sunny weekends from out-of-town, and noted he had submitted a letter to the Mayor with suggestions. President Corica commented that the Police Department and Council have been working some time on ways, including barricades, to keep traffic out of the area on hot weekends. Councilmember Haugner requested Council receive copies of the letter, and President Corica stated he would supply them. Councilmember Camicia made a motion to accept the communication. Councilmember Haugner seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 88-392 From Thornton C. Bunch, Jr., Attorney-at -Law, 22 Battery Street, Suite 810, San Francisco, regarding Pension Ordinance No. 1082, N.S. Mr. Bunch commented that the subject of negotiations is quite complex and takes a great deal of time, and the Police and Fire personnel believe it is a subject that ought to be reviewed, for possible revision, in a more relaxed and informal setting than the meeting and conferring which would take place at the end of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) because pension discussion is so time-consuming it is often postponed; the cost data is out of date; and it is important to obtain approval to commence the review. President Corica commented he can understand the concern but there is no way the City can afford to give the benefits now received by those on the 1079 pension; and he is concerned also that Council is now dealing with two bodies (the negotiating team and the Pension Improvement Committee (P.I.C.)), and perhaps the P.I.C. could give their information to the negotiating team when it is negotiating time. June 21, 1988 Mr. Bunch responded the P.I.C. does not seek to overhaul the system to provide parity with Ordinance No. 1079 but is primarily interested in meeting and conferring in two limited areas, at least at this point: the cost-of-living escalator and medical care for retirees; regarding reviewing at the end of the MOUs: at that time, there are usually many subjects to be done in a somewhat high pressure situation, and the purpose for the P.I.C. and its request is to start this process informally when the actuarial data is in. Councilmember Camicia asked clarification if the interest is in starting this process just to begin to explore the issues, to which Mr. Bunch replied that is correct. Councilmember Thomas inquired if Mr. Bunch agrees with the statement in the staff report that the lower pensions of the 1082 system still match those of the State safety PERS system, to which Mr. Bunch replied he cannot say with certainty the benefits are matched; the objective some years ago was to conform it to the PERS system; and since that time PERS has adopted other benefits. Councilmember Thomas agreed it is never too early to start looking at the issues, noted the lengthy time negotiations have taken, and inquired if it was clear that the retirement might affect later negotiations, e.g., wages, to which Mr. Bunch replied affirmatively. Mr. Bunch suggested the City's labor relations representative, Industrial Employers and Distributors Association, which negotiates the MOU, participate. President Corica stated authorization would have to come from Council, and perhaps the best way to do it is to have members of the Council on a Committee to work on this. Councilmember Thomas stated she had no problem in doing that. Councilmember Camicia requested comments from the Personnel Director. The Personnel Director stated the subjects can be explored and brought back to Council. President Corica stated that before a subcommittee is formed, he would like to get all the information staff has, particularly cost. Councilmember Camicia stated it bothers him that Council is always in an us-versus-them situation and believes if there can be discussion a little sooner, perhaps some issues can be resolved so there will not continually be a situation of being right up to a deadline. The Personnel Director stated staff could find out what the concerns are; the City has supplied data to the actuarial firm which they are inputting to their computer. Councilmember Camicia moved that staff provide a recommendation to Council that will begin the process and start to talk in such a way that the Personnel Director is comfortable. Councilmember Haugner June 21, 198B 179 seconded the motion. Councilmember Haugner made a motion to accept the recommendation. Councilmember Monsef seconded it and the motion was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. Councilmember Camicia moved the previous motion and restated it. Councilmember Thomas stated she believed the recommendation should be comfortable to Council, and that the labor negotiator should be included. Councilmember Camicia agreed, and noted he has asked that a recommendation be brought back to Council that could be discussed. The motion was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 88-393 From Diane Coler-Dark, Park Street Business Association, 1516 Oak Street, Suite 220, Alameda, requesting Council to direct staff to study parking alternatives in the Park Street area. Ms. Coler-Dark requested cost and feasibility studies to see what could be a potential with regard to parking. A discussion followed regarding when previous studies were done, what areas they covered, and what requests have been made for City-wide studies. The Public Works Director commented the Chamber of Commerce study will cover the retail areas, there is a need for parking for residential also, the City as a whole should be reviewed and then available sites noted, and it would take about a year to complete. Ms. Coler-Dark indicated a year of City-wide study would cause too much of a delay. Councilmember Camicia stated he could not support a motion to fund another parking study; the demand for parking is getting worse; and Council should come up with a plan to do it, not just a study; if that could be done in the course of a year, it would be better than another study. President Corica stated Council would like that, but it could not be funded for over a year unless an assessment district is being considered. Councilmember Camicia stated he believes there is a range of funding options and the plan could also explore some of those options. President Corica stated he had no problem exploring options. Councilmember Monsef stated he agrees there is a need for parking and there is a need to look over the entire City for the future but in the meantime Council needs information regarding possible sites; and moved to accept the communication and request the Public Works Director provide a comprehensive report on the parking needs of the June 21, 1988 180 business district within a month. Councilmember Camicia seconded the motion with the stipulation that the Finance Director provide a brief report on financing alternatives. Councilmember Monsef agreed. Councilmember Thomas suggested the Economic Development Corporation of Alameda (ECDA) might also have helpful information; and Webster Street's parking needs might also be considered, and Ron Gerber, ECDA, should be included in any information for Council. The motion was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 88-394 From Community Development Director regarding requests from Park Street Business Association and Alameda Main Street Project to use Fiscal Year 1987-88 UDAG funds for a Business Improvement District Project. Diane Coler-Dark, Park Street Business Association (PSBA), 1516 Oak Street, stated she believes that the formation of a Business Improvement District could eventually replace the UDAG loan funds and further discussed funding in detail; asked if there could be some compromise in the funding; and noted most of the funding would be from the PSBA but the Business District would cover PSBA, Webster Street and Greater Alameda Business Association. The Interim City Manager explained in further detail. Following discussion on funding and participation, Councilmember Thomas stated that the efforts of the Business Districts to become self-sufficient should be commended, and she would like to see what Council can do for them. The Interim City Manager suggested that the Community Development Department could work with the business associations and report back on that matter, and it could be looked at by Council when the Grant Agreement comes before Council at the beginning of the new fiscal year. Councilmember Thomas so moved. Councilmember Haugner seconded the motion. Councilmember Camicia stated he would like a copy of the consultant's proposal in the meantime, and it was requested copies be provided to all of Council. The motion was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 88-395 From Community Development Director regarding housing counseling and shared housing activities. Elizabeth Rogers, 1261 Weber Street, stated the Council must do something; people in Alameda need help and the City would be remiss if it did not provide this service for its citizens, which is June 21, 1988 181 extremely essential. Lois Pryor, 1814 Clinton Avenue, Board, Alamedans with HOPE, showed 5-6 inch thick phone logs of people who have called in for help with their housing problems and urged Council to do as much as possible to provide services. John Foley, 3004 Encinal, stated it concerns him that only $20,000 is being allocated, when last year the amount of $30,000 was not found (by the H.O.P.E) to be sufficient, and the City should consider the needs to be a high priority. Clayton Guyton, 457 Buena Vista, #305, stated there needs to be someone with expertise to work in housing counseling, and if the funding is not sufficient, the job will not be done well. Councilmember Haugner noted housing counseling is not something people should need to ask for, there is a great problem, and perhaps the Community Development Department could help find a way to have an adequate and equitable program. Councilmember Camicia stated he could not support any of the three options because they are not enough. Councilmember Thomas moved acceptance of the recommendation, and Councilmember Monsef seconded it. The motion was carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Monsef, Thomas and President Corica 3. Noes: Councilmembers Camicia and Haugner - 2. Absent: None. RESOLUTIONS 88-396 Resolution No. 11491 "In support of homeporting the U.S.S. Missouri in Alameda." Adopted. Helen Dodt, 1723 Chapin Street, stated she lives near Buena Vista where weapons are trucked, and inquired what the City has planned in case a weapon is dropped as in the recent Texas disaster; is concerned about pollution at the Naval Air Station (NAS), affordable housing, and traffic; and would like the City to request the federal government for a nuclear free City instead of the porting of battleships. Louise Buss, 1518 Union Street, stated her concerns about various problems she believes would be caused by the porting of the Missouri, and requested the resolution be resubmitted after comprehensive studies have been completed. Karen Topakian, Building E, Fort Mason, San Francisco, stated she was representing Greenpeace; Alameda should be in the forefront of dealing with nuclear weapons, and an accident evacuation plan, and urged Council to study before submitting an invitation, as it affects not only Alameda but the entire Bay Area. President Corica noted that there is an allocation of $37,000,000 to build 646 units of Navy housing on NAS; and possibly the City will June 21, 1988 182 be losing two carriers in a couple of years. Ronald Belanger, 1158 Bismarck Lane, stated porting ships in this vicinity allows dispersal to ports up and down the coastline and supplies jobs in the area; and urged the City Council to vote in favor of homeporting. John Foley, 3004 Central, Court Street Methodist Church, stated a few months ago a task force was formed to lobby the City to bring the Missouri here; believes a study should be done. President Corica noted an Environment Impact Report must and will be done, and the Navy will need to fund it; and when the study comes before Council, the citizens will have ample opportunity for input. Mr. Foley mentioned other public agencies are studying the impact and believes Council action is inappropriate. Ed Clark, 1422 Cottage Street, noted his father was in the military following the attack on Pearl Harbor; related his parents' pleasure in sharing housing in Alameda, because of their purpose, the beauty of the area and the welcome and friendliness of people; he had a similar experience in San Antonio, during his military duty, and would like to return the favor by welcoming the Missouri and its families. Carl Anderson, 439 49th Street, Oakland, stated the concern is not just for Alameda; he honors the efforts and sacrifices of the Navy; but nuclear weapons are sobering and there are problems of control in crisis; and urged Council to vote no on the resolution. Elizabeth Rogers, 1261 Weber Street, agreed with previous speakers that Council should look into the matter more thoroughly before passing the resolution. Roberta Hough, 911 San Antonio Avenue, stated she opposes homeporting the Missouri in the San Francisco Bay region; the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is inadequate; the responsibility for an emergency response plan lies with the City and the region, and job figures are highly inflated. Richard Young, 1119 Holly Street, stated concerns will be addressed in the EIS; a preliminary U.S.S. Missouri East Bay Impact Report suggests direct negative impact to Alameda is far outweighed by positive ones; and requested Council pass the resolution as it is good for the Navy and Alameda, and sends a message to national leaders that this City is ready to assume its share in national defense. Dorothy Kimbrell, 400A Whitehall Road, stated she has grave concerns regarding the porting of the Missouri in Alameda; and cannot understand giving an invitation before a study is completed. Gretchen Mackler, 43 Mission Hills, Oakland, stated she teaches in Alameda, her father was in the military, but believes there are other ways than nuclear war to resolve political differences; does not June 21, 1988 183 know what the impact will be in the school population; and the EIS must happen. Janet Gibson, 1424 Morton Street, voiced her objections to porting the Missouri in Alameda; believes City faces a housing shortage, the schools are bulging, questioned benefits to Alameda, and stated Naval Air Station employees live and spend money in other cities. Clayton Guyton, 457 Buena Vista, #305, stated he would like to see an EIS before the Missouri is homeported; questioned membership of the task force. Doug Linney, 617 Baywood Drive, questioned inviting the Missouri before studies of the impacts are made regarding housing, traffic, schools, etc., and suggested the reason for homeporting was to spread benefits around and have constituency to resist cutbacks. John Scott Graham, 1728 Tregloan Court, stated that if two carriers are moved from the area, the City should receive the land back and put it to use for Alameda. Fred Scullin, 1120 Chestnut Street, displayed the verbatim transcript of the San Francisco public hearing testimony on the EIS for the homeporting, and quoted from it; recognizes the dangers of nuclear weaponry but supports the homeporting as the Missouri is not bringing anything new to the NAS which already has nuclear weaponry; that further dredging is not necessary for the Missouri. John Barni, Sr., 1380 East Shore, noted no EIR was taken on the destruction of Pearl Harbor; the price of freedom comes high; and does not think it is too much to ask, if the Navy wants to homeport the Missouri in Alameda, the Navy's wish should be honored. Diane Coler-Dark, 2857 Jackson Street, stated if a family was trying to buy a house, they would negotiate preliminarily, and obtain facts and resents the implication that the information obtained by the Mayor's Committee will be slanted if not comprised by people from Greenpeace. Shirley Cummins, 549 Santa Clara Avenue, stated her husband was in World War II and was lost in the Korean War, she lost a son in the Vietnam War, and she is pro-Missouri; and if the Bay is polluted, it is mostly from the industries and if there is any cleaning necessary when the Missouri comes, it will force this area to clean up after itself, not the military. President Corica stated dredging will not be needed, as the Missouri does not need as much depth as a carrier; the NAS is the largest employer and the largest minority employer in the Bay Area, currently employing 4400 employees; and there is a certain amount of patriotism involved; there must be someone to protect the nation and our freedom and to allow people who are demonstrators or anti-military to speak; and without the military we would not enjoy the freedoms we have today; Council is not trying to avoid an EIS; there will be one, Council will scrutinize it, and everyone will have an opportunity to input; there are two carriers now, not four as the June 21, 1988 184 City once had; jobs will be brought in and he believes Council should support the resolution. Councilmember Thomas stated the concerns are legitimate, and Council will look at them in the context of an EIS; the resolution states that "during the time that a fact sheet and any environmental impact statement are being prepared, the City Council wishes to let the Secretary of the Navy know of Alameda's interest in homeporting . . ." The resolution does not state the City will accept or reject the Missouri but is simply interested; and believes the Navy will give the City a fair deal. Councilmember Monsef stated he has supported the homeporting of the Missouri in the San Francisco Bay Area; believes it has many benefits to the City of Alameda and to the rest of the Bay Area; the Navy has been good to the Bay Area, does help support the schools; this resolution is clear in only requesting the Navy consider homeporting the Missouri here; they will give the information for study and Council can proceed from there. Councilmember Monsef made a motion to adopt the resolution. Councilmember Thomas seconded the motion. Councilmember Haugner stated she believes in democracy and does not wish to be considered unpatriotic because she does not agree with the majority of Council in this matter of homeporting. Councilmember Camicia stated he is impressed with the energy and passion on both sides of the issue; believes it is doubtful the Missouri and its flotilla will be ported in Alameda; Mayor Agnos, San Francisco, wants the repair and Alameda will get the problems. President Corica stated if Alameda gets the Missouri, he believes the flotilla will be ported at several locations. The motion was carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Monsef, Thomas and President Corica - 3. Noes: Councilmembers Camicia and Haugner - 2. Absent - None. 88-397 Resolution No. 11492 "Authorizing execution of Agreement for construction and completion of improvements in connection with Subdivision Tract 4025 and approving bonds as to sufficiency. (Costa Brava, A - M Homes)" Adopted. Councilmember Camicia made a motion to adopt the resolution. Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion and it was carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Camicia, Haugner, Monsef, and Thomas - 4. Noes: President Corica - 1. Absent: None. 88-398 Resolution No. 11493 "Supporting local pharmacies continuation in Heals Health Care Plan, Inc." Adopted. Ed Clark, 1322 Cottage Street, thanked Council for the consideration and stated he hopes Council will go further and consider disallowing Heals as an alternative health care provider for City employees. June 21, 1988 5 The Interim City Manager stated he has received communication from Heals that they are in discussion with several providers, although none are sole proprieters. Councilmember Thomas moved adoption of the resolution. Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote 5. 88-399 Resolution No. 11494 "Awarding contract for legal advertising for City of Alameda for Fiscal Year 1988-89 to Alameda Times-Star." Adopted. Councilmember Thomas inquired if the Alameda Journal is qualified at this time [for the contract]. A discussion on qualifications followed. The City Clerk stated she contacted the Journal and they currently do not have the required number of paying subscribers. Councilmember Thomas made a motion to adopt the resolution. Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. FINAL PASSAGE OF ORDINANCES 88-400 Ordinance No. 2394, N.S. "Amending the Alameda Municipal Code by amending Section 17-333 thereof to prohibit parking on Eighth Street and Westline Drive from April 1st through September 30th." (Emergency Ordinance) Introduced and adopted. Councilmember Monsef made a motion for final passage of the ordinance, and the recommendation of the Chief of Police, regarding the areas where parking should be prohibited and the signage to be used, be included. Councilmember Thomas seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. NEW BUSINESS 88-401 Consideration of nominations for appointment/reappointment to the Public Utilities Board. President Corica announced that a nomination for appointment would not be made at this time, as it is necessary to find someone with specific qualifications as designated by the City Charter; and requested the Clerk publish for applicants.

Councilmember Camicia seconded the nomination and it was carried by consensus of Council. 88-402 Consideration of nomination for appointment to the Library Board.

Following discussion regarding Council policy that organizations attempt to find other locations before being allowed to use the Council Chamber, the interest of the Gersten Company to assist in the Child Care Center, etc., it was determined that the Alliance would June 21, 1988 187 first make an effort to locate a site other than the Council Chamber. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS 88-407 Fred Scullin, 1120 Chestnut Street, discussed the composition of the Alameda County Transportation Authority/Citizens' Advisory Committee.
