and requested notice of any proposed building purchase or rental
of the Lucky Stores site.
Councilmember Lucas inquired if the vacant properties in the

to which Mrs. Bonesteel replied affirmatively.
The Planning Director commented that they could be considered
together, and noted that C -2 does not allow manufacturing although

Rev. Don Taylor, 2134 Lincoln Avenue, stated that, to compensate
for removal of tree, church has hired landscape contractor and has
put in five new trees and some shrubbery; that a former safety
inspector was consulted about driveway access, and the church has
sprinkler systems and other safety mechanism.
Michael R. Owen, 2221 Central Avenue commented that big
construction rigs have successfully used driveway, and that other
electric poles on street are located at property lines.
4
Stephen Aguirre, 2133 Central Avenue, submitted supplemental memo
and pictures depicting problem area to Council.
Councilmember Lucas inquired if the width was safe enough for fire
service.
The Public Works Director said his concern was about people
turning out of the driveway, because they could damage the pole or
the tree.
Councilmember Corica suggested that perhaps a large limb could be
removed from the tree.
Councilmember Hanna noted that, although removal of the pole would
straighten out the angle of the driveway, and moving it 15 feet
west would not impact the appearance of the church, but the
practical compromise would be to remove the limb from the tree.
Councilmember Corica made a motion to accept the communication and
try removal of a limb from the tree. Councilmember Lucas seconded
the motion. Councilmember Hanna requested amendment to motion to
approve the width of the driveway. Councilmember Corica agreed

characterized by their emphasis on matter depicting, describing or
relating to specified sexual activities or anatomical areas.

magazines or periodicals which are distinguished or characterized
by their emphasis on matter depicting, describing or relating to
specified sexual activities or anatomical areas."
Councilmember Lucas made a motion to introduce the ordinance.
Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion.
Councilmember Hanna stated that Council allocates space for
businesses, makes numerous zoning laws for property because of
image and impact upon neighbors, and believes this subject comes
under the same category; that this business is limited to certain
areas of the City just as other businesses are limited to certain
areas of the City.
Councilmember Corica commented that an opponent of the proposed
legislation stated here that they would like to reach an amicable
solution, and Council believes it has; that it is not outlawing
the publication, but is just trying to make it less available to
little children.
Councilmember Monsef stated that a speaker had referred to the
needs of active adults, and he believed active adults would be
capable of locating the material.
The motion to introduce the ordinance was carried by unanimous
voice vote - 5.
REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
87-019 From Chairman of the Planning Board regarding the Portola
Triangle.
William J. Hillery, 660 Westline Drive, urged Council to support
the Planning Board recommendation to keep the area for open space.
Gertrude B. Woods, 1247 Sherman Street, Alameda Free Library
Board of Trustees, stated that nothing has been done to improve
the property in the last ten years and the Library Board's opinion
is that the property should be reversed back to R-1, sold, and
place the proceeds in the library fund.
Ernest C. Chase, 833 Portola Avenue, stated the group of retired
officers to which he belongs has voted to request that the area
be kept as open space and would like the park to be completed.
Glenn Plymate, 620 Westline Drive, commented much of the character
of residential Alameda has changed, with views gone, traffic
increased and other changes, but the land is like a jewel and
should be preserved like family jewels.
Councilmember Corica made a motion to keep the Portola Triangle as
open space and see if there is some way to beautify it at minimal
cost to the City. Councilmember Lucas seconded the motion.
7
Councilmember Hanna commented that open space is not needed in
this area but good housing is, and the contribution to the library
fund would be significant.
President Diament agreed and stated that area is opposite a very
large open space.
Councilmember Lucas commented neighbors would like a quiet park.
Councilmember Corica noted there is a low type of evergreen that
looks good but will not promote public use.
The motion to keep the Portola Triangle as open space and beautify
it was carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers
Corica, Lucas and Monsef - 3. Noes: Councilmember Hanna and
President Diament - 2. Absent: None.
87-020 From City Manager proposing initiation of a two-year budget
process.
The City Manager commented on the proposed budget process.
Councilmember Hanna commented that the proposal was good from the
point of view of efficiency, but on the other hand, Council needs
review of items in budget at frequent intervals, and stated that
annual work sessions would be more helpful than a report so that
Council could review items in detail.
Councilmember Corica stated that a yearly budget might be a little
more flexible and also easier if Council needs to change its mind
about something; that the Sunnyvale example of budgeting is based
on a background where the City had Silicon Valley revenues and
does not have the problems Alameda has; and that he would like
the current year-to-year budget process kept the way it is.
Councilmember Monsef stated he likes the concept and doesn't
believe Council is cut down in activity, but can ask for a review.
President Diament stated she doesn't believe Council is losing
control but does approve Councilmember Hanna's suggestion
regarding work sessions.
Councilmember Lucas commented that a long term goal is a benefit
to the community.
Councilmember Hanna stated that we do have a capital improvements
budget which is for five years.
Councilmember Monsef made a motion to accept the report and
recommendation. Councilmember Lucas seconded the motion and it
was carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers
Hanna, Lucas, Monsef and President Diament - 4. Noes:
Councilmember Corica 1. Absent: None.
87-021 From City Manager regarding Planning Board consideration of
proposed Traffic Management Initiative Ordinance.
The City Manager noted the report was requested by Council, and
asked the Public Works Director to address the diagrams.
The Public Works Director described diagrams on display regarding
the anticipated changes in the six intersections analyzed in the
traffic consultants report.
Councilmember Corica inquired where the ordinance states that the
City has to pay for these improvements.
The City Attorney replied that there is a line that there must be
a good faith effort; that it is one of the ambiguities in the
ordinance, and that there is language that can be construed that
way.
President Diament stated this was the material Council requested.
Irvin Hamilton, 318 Central Avenue, stated he is concerned about
traffic and also about the initiative; that the initiative deals
narrowly without recognizing other effects; that he does not
favor congestion, but believes care must be taken that it does not
create problems greater than the problem it sets out to correct.
Don Dowdell, President, Alameda Chamber of Commerce, stated that
the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce net in December
and unanimously decided to oppose the initiative; that the
decision was not made hastily; they investigated and had input
from consultants; that Board is concerned with uncontrolled
growth but believe initiative is unrealistic; that exorbitant
cost of upgrading intersections would filter detrimentally to
business community; and urged Council not adopt initiative.
Richard Recht, a principal of Haldrath & Assoc., noted that the
initiative has consequences other than traffic, and he believes
that it would stop developments in the City such as Marina Village
and Harbor Bay Isle Business Park; that the City's projections
indicate that the developments would otherwise in the future,
generate 20% of revenues of the City which would be lost to the
City if current development is terminated; and that the majority
of the costs of.servicing the areas (i.e., police and fire) have
already been committed so there would not be significant cost
savings if the development did not proceed; and requested Council
consider these fiscal consequences.
James Kell, 5801 Christie Ave, Emeryville, Chairman of Board, JHK
& Associates, international transportation consulting firm, stated
that Special Report 209, issued by the Transportation Research
Board, a member of the research council of the National Academy of
Sciences, (Committee on Highway Capacity and Quality of Service),
was written mostly during the six years he was Chairman of the
Committee and the initiative is a misuse of said report; that the
use of Level C would be for areas that were new areas to be
9
developed not cities where trees, sidewalks and some private
property would need to be used for enlarging intersections.
Niall Leahy, 1436 Webster, stated that he has studied the
information available, believes it beneficial to have
diversification not fragmentation; that the intiative does not
represent Alameda as a whole, and he hopes it will not pass.
Juergen Fehr, 3685 Mt. Diablo, Lafayette, noted he is a registered
traffic engineer requested by Alameda Village to analyze the
initiative, and has observed many problems with it; that Level C
is unrealistic and not suited to be adopted in any city of this
kind (only new areas); that most cities aim for D or even E
levels; that data collection required by the initiative on
intersections would cost approximately $250,000 per year; that it
does not allow Transportation System management measures that
review peak hour traffic at its source; that the initiative is
unclear, confusing, and contains many ambiguities and could result
in worsening situation rather than improvement.
Dee Prado, 1137 Bay Street, stated she is be proud of recent
development; that the initiative would cost money but not meet
the City's needs; but that everyone should work together to help
the situation.
l'red Scullin, 1120 Chestnut Street, stated that the intiative does
not request intersections be brought up to Level C, because if
that were to be done, it would cost a great deal of money and
require condemnation of property; that the initiative does not
require bringing the level up to Level C.
Walter Moeller, 406 Channing Street, President, Alameda Homeowners
Association, agreed with Mr. Scullin and stated he believes the
initiative is clear and wants to keep Level C or better.
John Barni, Jr., 875 Island Drive, commented it should be brought
before the citizens to see what they think.
Barbara Thomas, 1118 Paru Street, stated that the initiative does
not require the City to meet Level C requirement.
Councilmember Lucas made a motion to accept the report.
Councilmember Cbrica stated the City has been doing well in spite
of Measure A.
Councilmember Hanna seconded the motion and it was carried by
unanimous voice vote - 5.
87-022 From Public Works Director on noise mitigation compliance
at 3536 McSherry Way. (Henry Woon)
Councilmember Hanna made a motion to accept the report and
recommendation. Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion and it
was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.

RESOLUTIONS
87-023 Resolution No. 11084 "Calling General Municipal Election
to be held in the City of Alameda on Tuesday, April 21, 1987;
establishing election precincts; fixing number of election
officers on the Board of Election for precincts; fixing

unanimous voice vote - 5.
87-024 Resolution No. 11085 "Ordering the Consolidation of the
Governing Board Member Election of the Peralta Community College
District of Alameda County, State of California, to be held on
April 21, 1987, with the General Municipal Election to be held in
the City of Alameda on the same date insofar as the territory in
which said elections are to be held is the same." Adopted.
Councilmember Monsef made a motion to adopt the resolution.
Councilmember Hanna seconded the motion and it was carried by
unanimous voice vote - 5.
87-025 Resolution No. "Ordering submission to the Electors
of the City of Alameda at the General Municipal Election to be
held in said City on April 21, 1987, an ordinance entitled,
"Traffic Management Initiative Ordinance for the City of Alameda,"
and providing for Notice thereof."
Irvin Hamilton, 318 Central Avenue, does not want congestion but
does not want initiative with ambiguities.
Roger Herd, 1501 Harbor Bay Parkway, commented he has business
plans but if growth is hampered, will not be able to expand in
Alameda.
Fred Scullin, 1120 Chestnut Street, commented that people have the
impression that the intiative states intersections must be at
Level C, but he believes it does not; and that he protests the
wording of the summary question prepared for the ballot.
Barbara Thomas, .1118 Paru Street, stated she has the same problem
that Fred Scullin has.
Donald Parker, Director, Marina Village project, commented that
they established at the start of the project, when an EIR was done
that traffic mitigation improvements were required and today
Patton Way is being built from the proceeds of bonds sold on their
project; that the $32,000,000.00 in bonds security rests with
Marina Village; that they committed $8,500,000 to off-site
improvements to make traffic better; that when they heard about
the traffic initiative, they wanted to learn more about the
homeowners concerns, invited Mr. Moeller and others to review
the project and Mr. Moeller stated it was an addition to the
11
community; that Marina Village has provided a 6 acre park; that
the initiative sets up a method of development impossible for
compliance, because it states development can proceed only if
conditions planned are in place first; that Patton Way would have
to have been in place and operating before building permits could
be issued; that it will be complete by the time the development
is complete. It could result in a fragmented development which
does not have the cohesion of Marina Village. It may be that
Marina Village cannot complete its project.
Councilmember Hanna made a motion to extend the meeting beyond
11:00 p.m. Councilmember Lucas seconded the motion and it was
carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
Walt Moeller, 406 Channing Way, stated he would like to submit
proposed language for the resolution and would like Council to
postpone its decision.
Councilmember Hanna suggested that the adoption of the resolution
be postponed to the 20th, so that there would be opportunity to
see if better wording is possible, even though it is technically
correct, and receive input from Walt Moeller and Barbara Thomas.
He commented also that Alameda already has a growth initiative
commonly known as "Measure A" and this should not be the same, so
that confusion may be avoided.
Following discussion, Councilmember Hanna made a motion to
postpone the adoption of the resolution to January 20, 1987.
[Subsequently, the motion was re-scheduled for consideration at a
Special Council Meeting held January 16, 1987.] Councilmember
Corica seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice
vote - 5.

Beverly Jean Orozco, 3477 Oleander Avenue, stated traffic has
increased, many accidents occur, and expressed concern that the

Pat McGrath, 1096 Melrose, stated the street has become a speedway
and when the two lanes become one, cars swerve up into front yards
