RETURN TO REGULAR AGENDA
WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
88 -603 From James D. Spitzer, 450 E Cola Ballena, regarding
proposed Ballena Bay Hotel and Office Project.
Councilmember Camicia moved acceptance of the written
communication. Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion and it was
carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
88 -604 From John Scott Graham, 1728 Tregloan Court, offering
various suggestions regarding the selection of an Official
Newspaper of the City, publication of legal notices, press
releases, and community calendars.
Mr. Graham stated he believes Council should look at some other
areas and other avenues in searching for a legal newspaper for the
City.
Councilmember Thomas commented that key words in the Charter are
"general circulation, published in the City," therefore the Tribune
does not qualify; and the other local paper is a weekly paper.
President Corica stated that there are drawbacks in using an
out -of -town newspaper; sometimes a message needs to be sent out
quickly and a local newspaper can provide more assistance than a
larger, out -of -town newspaper; and as the recommendation states,
the Times -Star meets all the requirements, and he does not believe
any changes should be made at this time.
Councilman Arnerich stated he agrees the Times -Star meets the
criteria; and it has a wide circulation in Alameda.
Councilmember Monsef made a motion to accept the communication.
Councilmember Thomas seconded the motion and it was carried by
unanimous voice vote - 5.

President Corica declared the hearing closed.
88-606 Consideration of Tentative Map 5850 for subdivision of six
lots on 0.63 acre in order to construct six single-family homes at
Old Alameda Point and Oleander Avenue. Applicant: Pulte Homes
Corporation.
President Corica explained the procedure of the hearing.
The Planning Director explained the background of the matter.
The public portion of the hearing was opened.
On the call for proponents, the following person spoke:
Sam Young, 530 Queens Road.
Councilman Arnerich commented it is time for the subject area to be
developed; and questioned the City's liability in the event of an
aircraft accident.
The City Attorney replied there is no liability on the City's part.
Mr. Young stated it is his position that it is the responsibility
of the airport facility, the pilot, and the owner of the airplane.
On the call for opponents, there were none.
The public portion of the hearing was closed.
Councilmember Thomas commented that Mr. Young has done a good job
in working with Council; Council has requested financial
assistance for low-income buyers and Pulte Homes has come back with
a mortgage company that provides a loan approval without
consideration of income if a 25% down-payment is made on a home;
and there will be six homes to which the offer applies.
Councilmember Thomas inquired if the Port representative foresees
any problem in working out the avigation easement, to which Mr.
Charles Foster, Port of Oakland, replied that there have been
discussions with Sam Young and the Port feels it can be worked out.
President Corica stated the six homes are in the safety zone, and
although the Airport Land Use Commission, after negotiation,
decided it would be acceptable because the rest of the project is
built out, his concern is the same as it was before and he will
vote no.

Councilmember Monsef stated at one time he had the same opinion,
but Council requested a new plan from the developer, which has been
submitted; the Port is not as concerned as in the past; and moved
the Council accept the new recommendation of the Planning Board,
keeping in mind that Condition 2 will be replaced with the new
language that was submitted this evening.
Councilmember Thomas seconded the motion, noting she had, while on
the ALUC, voted against the development, 6 -1, but it is consistent
with the ALUC policy that if 86% of the surrounding area is
developed, it can be filled in and the subject property is
surrounded by development.
Councilman Arnerich agreed with Councilmember Thomas's remark and
stated a small piece of undeveloped property could deteriorate and
be detrimental.
The motion was carried by the following voice vote: Ayes:
Councilmembers Arnerich, Camicia, Monsef and Thomas - 4. Noes:
President Corica - 1.
Councilmember Thomas moved the related resolution be taken out of
order. Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion and it was carried
by unanimous voice vote - 5.

six -lot subdivision located southeasterly of the intersection of

said Tentative Map consistent with the City's General Plan and
determining that discharge of water into the sewer system will not
violate regional water quality control regulations. (Pulte Homes
Corporation, subdivider)" Adopted.

Councilmembers Arnerich, Camicia,
President Corica - 1.
88 -608 Consideration of a proposed Negative Declaration
and Rezoning R -88 -4, to rezone from R -2, Two- Family
District to C -1, Neighborhood Business District, the
located at 1238 Versailles Avenue. Applicant: City of
President Corica explained the procedure of the hearing.
The Planning Director explained the background of the matter,
noting the Planning Board is recommending the property be rezoned
back to its previous zoning.
The public portion of the hearing was opened.
On the call for proponents, the following persons spoke:
Susan McCormack, 1238 Versailles Avenue
Andrew McCormack, 1238 Versailles Avenue
On the call for opponents, the following persons spoke:

267.
Dennis Stradford, 1222 Versailles Avenue
Randall Miller, 1230 Versailles Avenue
Councilmember Camicia reviewed the kind of uses for C -1 property
with the Planning Director.
President Corica reviewed the possibility of rezoning with
restrictions to keep the business as it is.
Councilmember Thomas discussed parking restrictions with the
Planning Director.
Councilman Arnerich noted there is a hardware store and other
businesses close to the subject property which are located three
buildings from the corner of Encinal; the McCormacks purchased the
property when it was zoned C -1 and put in a great deal of time and
effort converting it; and noted the Planning Board's findings that
the proposed rezoning is consistent with most recent use, would
protect integrity of a property of significant historical relevance
to the City, and that failure to rezone would create significant
financial hardship.
Councilmember Monsef stated at one time he was concerned about the
business operation, but he has seen it in action, and he agrees
with Councilman Arnerich; and moved to accept the recommendation
of the Planning Board. Councilman Arnerich seconded the motion.
Councilmember Camicia clarified that the motion accepted the
Negative Declaration.
The motion was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
88 -609 Ordinance No. , N.S. "Reclassifying and rezoning of a
certain property within the City of Alameda by amending Zoning
Ordinance No. 1277, New Series; Applicant: City of Alameda,
R -88 -4, the property located at 1238 Versailles Avenue."
Introduced.
Councilmember Monsef moved for introduction of the ordinance.
Councilmember Thomas seconded the motion.
Councilmember Camicia stated he voted for the Negative Declaration
but cannot vote for the rezoning because it is extending a use into
the neigborhood which is worried about what will happen in the
future; the bed and breakfast is being handled very well but can
continue under the present zoning.
Councilmember Thomas stated that this situation, where people seek
rezoning because they cannot refinance as they have a nonconforming
use, reflects a weakness in the General Plan which is being redone;
the first rezoning hurt only the McCormacks, precluding them from
refinancing their property because they have a nonconforming use,
and she does not believe it will hurt anyone to allow refinancing
of a historical monument; if a more intensive use tries to come in
at a later date, the matter can be reviewed by Council at that
time; she would like to cure the mistake and move introduction.
Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion.
September 20, 1988
263
Councilmember camicia stated since Council does not have the legal
ability to restrict a C-1 district, perhaps the McCormacks would be
willing to make a personal commitment that they would keep that
particular business to a bed and breakfast and not expand the use
to another more intense kind of facility.
Councilman Arnerich noted that the house on the corner is C-1,
noted other buildings and stated he does not consider the block to
be a residential block.
President Corica stated if Mr. McCormack would like to come
forward and make a statement, he may.
Mr. McCormack stated the business will remain the way it is.
The motion was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
APPEALS
88-610 Consideration of Appeal of Planning Board approval of
Variance, V-88-25, for the property located at 1729 Central Avenue;
to allow the conversion of the second story of an accessory
building to a dwelling unit with a six inch side yard where Zoning
Ordinance Section 11-1320(f) requires seven feet, a zero inch rear
yard where Zoning Ordinance Section 11-1320(g) requires 20 feet,
and 10 feet between principal buildings where Zoning Ordinance
Section 11-1320(h) requires 20 feet. Applicant: Rudd Gast for
Doug Snow. Appellant: D.K. Templeton.
President Corica explained the procedure of the appeal.
The Planning Director reviewed the background of the matter.
D.K. Templeton, Appellant, 376 Channing Way, commended the owner
for exceptional care of the building, outlined the basic points of
his Appeal, and the issue of procedural implications of how the
project was handled, noting the Applicant came in requesting two
variances and left with three.
Rudd Gast, 2054 Central Avenue, on behalf of Doug Snow, stated the
project was reviewed thoroughly by the Planning Department and he
felt there was no problem except for setbacks; the original
blueprints show the building as an accessory structure with an
upper floor with stairways, windows, etc., but the previous owner
simply did not choose to finish the area.
Councilmember Thomas stated she would have appealed this on the
basis that it was an error of the City regarding the Variances, and
the procedure needs to be corrected; that there is no harm done
this time except the cost of the Appeal to the Appellant.
President Corica stated neither the Applicant nor the Appellant
should be penalized for City error.
Councilmember Thomas made a motion to deny the Appeal, and refund
Appellant's $200. Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion, and it
was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.

REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
88 -611 From Chairman, Alameda Golf Commission, regarding proposed
increases in Golf Course fees.
Bert Morgan, 301 Grand Street, stated there were a number of
hearings held for golf fees, increases proposed are modest and are
the lowest fees in the area; requested favorable consideration of
the proposal of the Golf Commission; and noted major improvements
are needed to keep the Course in excellent repair.
Ted Holmes, 328 Magnolia Drive, Golf Commission, stated he hopes
Council will act in favor of the report submitted.
Charles Tillman, 2415 Roosevelt Drive, stated he has followed Golf
Course meetings, opposes a raise of fees; noted a $670,000
increase in the Enterprise Fund in the past 19 months; the formula
for the Enterprise Fund should be checked to be sure that added
revenues from putting new rates into effect will not cause a
violation; there are three men on the Commission that belong to
the Golf Club, and taking an action on behalf of the Golf Club is a
conflict of interest; and because Council does not have an audit
or Performance Review at this time, he requested the Council set
this matter aside for six months.
Councilmember Camicia inquired regarding Golf Course fees; Mr.
Holmes replied the fees have been held as low as possible, the
rates for out -of -town people are higher, and remarked that the
lower the price is, the more people will participate.
Councilman Arnerich discussed non - resident fees; asked
clarification of certain fees; and in reply, the Golf and Parks
Operations Manager confirmed the weekday rates.
Councilman Arnerich stated he believes the rates are fair, as they
are still lower than the surrounding cities' golf rates; and if
there is some bad weather and there is not a gradual increase,
there might need to be a large rate increase.
President Corica commented that he was instrumental in starting the
Golf Commission and changes were made, turning the Golf Course from
a situation of losing $70- 80,000 per year to what has become a very
successful Course ;. this is a recreational facility and the rate
should be as reasonable as possible; if there is an increase, it
should be minimal; that out -of -town residents have been a help and
therefore they should not be heavily charged; and there is no rush
to raise rates, as there is money in reserves.
Councilmember Monsef stated the City is proud of the Golf Course,
it is not necessary to be the lowest in the East Bay as the Golf
Course is a very good one; the recommendation should be supported
by Council; the more money invested in the Golf Course, the more
income will be generated; and commended the management of the Golf
Course.
Councilmember Thomas stated the raises for non - residents, which is
70% of the patrons of the Golf Course, includes increases up to 42%
September 20, 1988
2O
and questions if the market will bear that much increase; believes
there is time before the beginning of the year to do a survey of
what will happen to the 70% of the patrons; inquired when, if
money is stockpiled without plans to expend the money, the status
of an Enterprise Fund can be lost, and she would be more
comfortable if that is researched.
Councilmember Monsef believes the raise is fair as there has not
been a raise for two years.
Councilmember Camicia stated there should be a determination as to
what the thresholds are to find out what the market will bear.
Councilman Arnerich stated if a study is done, it should be
completed by December to allow time for notice to golfers; the
raise should be $1 across the board; improvements must be made to
the Golf Course; and Council should possibly consider keeping
$500,000 in reserves.
President Corica stated perhaps the Finance Director can look at
the matter and a possible survey.
The Golf and Parks Operations Manager commented most courses
average only 20% residential players; and stated it would be
helpful if Council can address the matter tonight so tournaments
will not be delayed.
Councilmember Thomas stated there is about a 26% increase with
respect to the tournament fees, and it would appear the Council
could act on the tournament fees and wait for the survey before
acting on the rest of the proposed fees.
Councilman Arnerich commented it was a good suggestion.
Councilmember Monsef agreed, and suggested a compromise that
non-resident fees in the report be changed as follows: $10 become
$9, $8 remain as is, $13 become $12, and $9 become $8; and moved
the report be accepted except for changes as noted.
Councilmember Thomas stated she would vote no because she believes
a survey is needed.
Councilman Arnerich seconded the motion.
Councilmember Camicia stated he cannot support the motion because
the Commission and residents have worked diligently to produce the
proposed fee structure, and for Council to change it arbitrarily
does not make sense; it does not make sense if the matter is going
to be put off to do a professional survey to see what the market is
going to bear.
President Corica agreed.

Camicia seconded the motion.
Councilmember Monsef stated he would like two motions because he
does not want to see the proposal tabled but he would support a
motion regarding the tournament fees.
Councilmember Thomas moved acceptance of the proposal as to the
tournament rates. Councilmember Camicia seconded the motion and it
was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
Councilmember Thomas moved the rest of the proposal be tabled until
a market survey is obtained. Councilmember Camicia seconded the
motion and it was carried by the following voice vote: Ayes:
Councilmembers Camicia, Thomas, and President Corica - 3. Noes:
Councilmembers Arnerich and Monsef - 2. Absent: None.
Councilmember Monsef requested there be, as a matter of long-term
planning, a formula in the near future, on what would be an
adequate reserve on an annual basis.
88-612 From Finance Director responding to report on City's
financial viability.
Councilmember Camicia thanked Kevin Harper, Kevin Kearney, and Don
Lindsey for their efforts in compiling the report.
Kevin Harper, 112 Norwich Road, stated the report was made for
three reasons, to come up with a few recommendations for
consideration; to stimulate thinking and discussion about City
financial matters; and to help the City plan for a financial
future; the suggestions, including sale of the Golf Course and the
Bureau of Electricity, are only made for consideration.
President Corica stated the Bureau is a service for the benefit of
the people of Alameda, and if the Golf Course were sold, the land
might be developed.
Councilman Arnerich stated the Golf Course is beautiful open space
and a valuable asset; after a few years, money from a sale of the
land would be gone and so would the open space.
Councilmember Monsef agreed and noted a suggestion was to increase
the rates of the Bureau of Electricity to those of P. G. & E.,
and asked for the rationale behind it, to which Mr. Harper replied
that it was on a list of possible things to do in the future to
increase revenue.
September 20, 1988
272
Councilmember Monsef stated as far as he is concerned, the Bureau
is not for sale.
Charles Tillman, 2415 Roosevelt Drive, commented that the public
has been led to believe that the City has only $7,000 in reserves;
the $7,000 is in reserve for this year's budget; on page 2 of the
Touche Ross Audit, there is $3,664,255 equity, which is still an
ample reserve although depleted by $600,000 this year; Council
should consider what it wants in reserves; and, Mr. Tillman
suggested if 10% of the budget, or approximately $3,000,000, could
be held in reserve, that could be considered an excellent job.
Councilmember Camicia stated the benefit from the report is that
there are options to think about and the best suggestion, he
believes, is to establish a standing Finance Committee or Board to
' take a regular long range look at the City financially; other good
suggestions would be to raise developers' fees, establish an
employee incentive program out of which suggestions could be made
that might save the City money and increase morale, and increase
the City Auditor's and Treasurer's activities and services; and he
would like to see Council begin to take a look at the possibility
of the Finance Committee.
President Corica stated the Finance Director has gone through the
list item by item, there are some things that cannot be done
legally, e.g., increasing the transfer tax; Council should turn to
the Finance Director for recommendation on what to try first.
Councilmember Thomas thanked those who made the report, stated some
things suggested have already been done; the City has an excellent
Finance Director and a good team; the Auditor and Treasurer
activities have been considered for a number of nonths; Council
should consider requests such as that made of the Finance Director
who was requested to make a 20-item report in a week, and perhaps
such requests should come to Council first, or to the City Manager.
Councilman Arnerich stated he would have liked notification of what
was being done.
Councilmember Camicia apologized for any confusion because of the
report, and commented the three citizens volunteered time to do the
report and many suggestions are important enough to act upon.
President Corica remarked he appreciated the efforts of those who
made the report but felt the public should know a number of listed
items are already being implemented.
Councilmember Thomas moved to accept the report. Councilmember
Camicia seconded the motion.
Councilmember Camicia requested staff report to Council with
suggestions regarding how Council can organize a Finance Commission
or Board in this community.
The motion was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
