Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority
Interoffice Memorandum
March 27, 1997
TO:
Honorable Members of the
Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority
3 -A
FROM: Kay Miller, Executive Director
SUBJ: Recommendation to authorize the Executive Director to expend revenues derived
from interim leases for routine and emergency maintenance, port insurance, and a
base closure media event pending adoption of a lease revenue budget.
Background:
The current balance of the account for interim lease revenues is approximately $250,000. We are
in the process of developing a budget for all of the forecast 1997 revenues and expect to present a
budget proposal for use of these funds to the governing body at its May 7, 1997 meeting.
Discussion:
There are a number of immediate expenses associated with marketing and property management for
which the ARRA staff needs governing body authorization in advance of formal adoption of a 1997
lease revenue budget. The following three expenditures require governing body authorization:
Routine and emergency maintenance on leased property (to provide for
operational expenses until adoption of 1997 lease revenue budget) $ 25,000
A one -year insurance policy to operate port activities on NAS piers $ 80,000
Base closure media event to focus on interim and long -range reuse plans
(One -time expense) $ 6,000
TOTAL $111,000
These figures represent maximum expenditures for each of these categories.
Fiscal Impact:
There are sufficient lease revenues to cover the proposed expenditures with a comfortable balance
in reserve.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the ARRA authorize the Executive Director to expend interim lease revenues
for the three expenditure items listed herein prior to adoption of a complete 1997 lease revenue
budget.
Respectfully submitted,
IAA si U.�p

Dear Ms. Miller:
As noted in the enclosed letter, we have received conceptual approval to pursue a no -cost lease
back arrangement with the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority (ARRA) for the 300
Marina Village and 282 North Housing units. This is a new approach that we believe will result
in a "win -win" situation for both the Coast Guard and the ARRA, but there are many issues that
have to be resolved before we can use this new authority. For this reason our request for Title 10
transfer of those housing units will remain in place until the terms for the lease back arrangement
are developed and agreed to by all parties.
Mr. Rob Van de Loo will initiate development of the lease -back arrangement with the ARRA
and the Navy. He can be reached at (510) 437 -5900. For other information please contact
LCDR Rod Smith (510) 437 -3531.
Sincerely,
4,&

1. Your request (reference (a)) to pursue a no cost lease back arrangement with the Alameda
Reuse and Redevelopment Authority (ARRA) in lieu of Coast Guard acquisition of the 300
Marina Village and 282 North Housing units located at Naval Air Station Alameda is
conceptually approved. As you are aware, this is a new approach to obtaining housing for Federal
Agencies and the Coast Guard could very well be the first test case. In light of this we ask that
you keep Commandant (G -CPP) abreast of this transaction and prior to any signing of a lease that
the proposed lease agreement be submitted to Commandant (G -CRC) for coordinated review and
approval. This request has raised many issues that have yet to be resolved, mainly due to the
absence of implementing regulations. Therefore, please work closely with your legal staff and
with the ARRA, the City of Alameda, the Navy and other necessary players to resolve any
pending issues.
2. Prior to any commitment to enter into a leaseback under Section 2837 of Public Law
104 -106, approval must be obtained from Office of the Secretary (OST) for the specific
transaction. In addition, a delegation of authority from OST is necessary. Commandant (G -SEC)
is the action office with respect to these items. Please contact them for further guidance. Also,
please utilize the direction in enclosure (1) to aid you in your negotiations and when preparing
any lease agreement. If you should have any questions my POC is Ms. DeloresWatson. She
can be reached at (202) 267 -2360 or e-mail address (standardworkstation III)Dwatson

EICLOSURE()
Headquarters Direction for ARRA Leased Housing Agreement
A leaseback agreement entered into by the Coast Guard must be part of, and would follow
from, an agreement between DoD and ARRA. A three way MOU should be entered into
between DoD, DOT, and ARRA.
2. Utility infrastructure will convey to the ARRA along with the property.
3. In order to avoid a potential violation of the Anti - Deficiency Act, the Coast Guard cannot
commit to maintaining the property (including the utility infrastructure) in the leaseback
agreement. Likewise, the Coast Guard cannot commit to state or local code compliance.
Maintenance of the property, and any state or local code compliance, must be solely at the
discretion of the Coast Guard. The leaseback agreement must be a "no cost" lease in every
sense.
4. The legal principle behind the leaseback approach is that legal title to the property will pass
from the United States to the ARRA. As such, the Coast Guard will be in the position of a
lessee. Therefore, the property cannot be considered federal property nor a federal enclave.
If the Coast Guard goes on record (through the leaseback agreement or through any other
documentation) as supporting or agreeing to the ARRA's (or City's) position that the
property is a federal enclave (in order to avoid state and local code compliance issues), then
the Coast Guard runs the risk of being held liable for the cost of any environmental
contamination/clean up.
5. The leaseback agreement should clearly provide for a successor in interest upon the
dissolution of the ARRA. The successor in interest should be a party to any leaseback
agreement. Also, the ARRA must have the authority to acquire, hold, and convey real
property.
6. NEPA requirements should be satisfied prior to lease agreement and the responsible party
clearly articulated.
7. Prior to any lease agreement, review US Navy files for the remediated hydrocarbon site and
conduct on -site investigations to ensure no problems exist. Grandfather responsibility for
cleanup, as necessary.
8. CG MLCPAC should confirm in writing that they have reviewed the Environmental Base
Line Survey and that it is in conformance with the Coast Guard's policy This should be
done prior to any lease agreement.

BRAG Report to City Council
February 18, 1997
Why was the BRAG formed and what was it to do?
• The military previously had experience with communities where lack
of citizen involvement in planning reuse of closed bases stopped •
development from happening and was concerned that this experience
not be repeated in Alameda.
• The City Council realized existing resources of boards and
commissions could not put in the time necessary to accomplish the
conversion planning — they also wanted a broad spectrum of views on
these complex issues.
• July 14, 1993, City Council approved creation of the Base Reuse
Advisory Group to "advise Council and to guide the base conversion
effort."
• The Council's mission for the BRAG was to "formulate and implement
actions and strategies necessary to build consensus around a reuse and
conversion plan ".
• BRAG first met September 22, 1993.
What has the BRAG Accomplished?
• It has provided community input from its 11 working groups whose
members. are from all walks of life, live in every neighborhood in
Alameda, and hold diverse viewpoints which are brought to focus and
to be reconciled on topics considered by the BRAG at its meetings.
The number of people involved and the number of groups are necessary
to represent all of Alameda. Who would you eliminate? Human
Impact? Reuse? Infrastructure? All are essential!
BRAG Report to City Council Page 2
February 18, 1997
• Some of the BRAG accomplishments to date are:
Getting up to speed on the complex issues of Base Closure and
the opportunities, perils, and pitfalls of the process.
Direct involvement in every aspect of the formation of the
Community Reuse Plan.
Conducted, to date, nine community meetings to inform and
solicit input from the public.
Worked with the broad array of consultants, Navy, EBCRC, and
numerous other entities dealing with base closure, consistently
articulating the viewpoint of the community.
Represented the community's goals and objectives to the media
at countless meetings.
Developed interim reuse goals and objectives to facilitate leasing
and marketing -base facilities.
Represented the community at the NAS Transition Center and
Job /Career Fairs.
— Created a WEB site publishing the BRAG's mission, goals, and
NAS tours and employment information.
Discussed natural resource issues including wetlands, park, and
recreational plans.
Provided information on base toxic cleanup and BRAG members
have participated on both NAS and FISC RABs.
BRAG Report to City Council Page 3
February 18, 1997
— Presented seismic information briefings and effects on planning
for structures and development.
— Analyzed economic proposals and development options as well
as financial forecasts.
Worked to meet Federal requirements for homeless housing.
Monitored on a continuous basis leasing efforts with particular
attention to the "community" goals of:
• employment, re- employment, and training opportunities.
• Appropriate facility/lessee oversight.
• Revenue generating potential.
• Consistency with the Reuse Plan.
Evaluated utility systems to achieve infrastructure transition to
civilian use.
Initiated the Alameda Education/Business Technology and serve
as a clearing house for educational strategies.
Worked closely with the EDC on the FISC conversion and
development.
To date, BRAG and its working groups have invested
approximately 15,684 hours in the conversion process.
Alameda has received accolades for its inclusionary citizen
participation process.
The Community Plan has been submitted. Why does
Alameda need BRAG?
BRAG Report to City Council- Page 4
February 18, 1997
• We wondered that too. In 1995 the ARRA had transferred the BRAG
to its authority so citizen impact came directly to the nine ARRA
members which of course includes the Alameda City Council.
• The ARRA and the BRAG evaluated what had been done and what was
yet to do and last spring the ARRA requested the BRAG to continue its
work.. Here's why:
The Community Reuse Plan represents the goals and objectives
of the community but it is far from agreed upon. The Reuse Plan
must undergo the rigors of such considerations as:
• EIR/EIS evaluation.
• Inhibitions potentially imposed by BCDC.
• Impacts of the Public Trust overlay.
• Fish and Wildlife acquisition and management of
approximately a third of the NAS develop able area.
• Potential development—interim and long term proposals
and its impact on the Community Plan.
• Public Benefit and Economic Benefit Conveyances
focusing of economic feasibility issues.
• The detailed consultants studies which potentially impact
the Plan by causing course corrections.
• The Community Reuse Plan is not a plan until all of these issues are
decided —and the 2 1/2 years of work putting the Plan together could be
negated — without citizen input if there is no overall knowledgeable
community oversight group.
When does the BRAG go away?
• The BRAG doesn't know —it serves at the "pleasure of the ARRA" and
has agreed to continue until it's no longer needed.
BRAG Report to City Council Page 5
February 18, 1997
• The EIR/EIS and Record of Decision and Redevelopment Plan are
major hurdles for the Plan to yet get over—Broad representation of the
community should continue until the parameters of the Plan are finally
established enough for the City Boards and Commissions to carry out
their legal roles.
• The BRAG, like ARRA, regards its role as providing a temporary but
essential oversight for the community.
BRAG Report to City Council` Page 6
February 18, 1997
What are the structural changes BRAG is proposing?
• One of BRAG's missions during this phase of its work is to achieve an
even closer working relationship with City Boards and Commissions.
The work of each is complimentary not in conflict.
— Using the housing issue as an example, the BRAG has gathered
public opinion and offered a strategy for accommodation of the
East Housing.
The Planning Board will need to weigh this position against the
General Plan (when it is amended to include the NAS land) and
the City's Housing Element before it should formulate its
position.
• In order to formalize City Board and Commissions involvement the
BRAG has proposed incorporating identified seats for the following (to
the extent they are not otherwise represented on the BRAG).
Planning Board
Economic Development Commission
Public Utility Board
Park and Recreation Department
The BRAG will forward appointment of chairs if vacancies occur
and ask the ARRA for confirmation of chairs.
How does the BRAG work?
• The BRAG conducts its monthly meeting in accordance with the
BRAG Report to City Page 7
February 18, 1997
Brown Act, publishing an agenda, inviting public comment, and
providing fully detailed minutes.
• The BRAG's working groups likewise meet with public input
encouraged.
• To respond to the need for several viewpoints on various issues
BRAG's working groups continued as chartered but have formed teams
to address specific issues that require the focus of several groups.
These "Task Force" teams are ad hoc and are intended to study an
issue, produce a recommendation, and disband. These teams involve
other representatives, i.e., various city commissions, the Chamber of
Commerce, Webster Street Business Association, impacted
neighborhoods, and special interest groups, etc. Examples are:
Commissary Task Force.
— FISC Selection Task Force.
Pan-Pacific University.
— BCDC.
— Limited Use Airfield.
LAMBRA Application
— Recreation and Parks Base-Wide Plan.
— Street Naming.
— Base Closure Ceremony.
BRAG Report to City Council
February 18, 1997
• The public is encouraged to participate in any BRAG meeting.
• The BRAG has also fostered public understanding of its work through
position papers; the latest example is the "BRAG Strategy on the East
Housing ".
Page 8
• The BRAG wants to do a good job —we are willing to continue our
work —we are neither duplicating nor usurping existing Boards and
Commissions, we are augmenting them. But we can always do better
and will welcome comments that would enable us to serve our
community even more effectively.
• One obvious suggestion is Neil Patrick Sweeney's urging that we
appear and report to the City Council; he was right! Our reports to the
ARRA do not reach the same audience. We would welcome an
opportunity for a place on the Council's agenda for such a routine
report.

Dear Ms. Miller:
The employees of the Materials Engineering Laboratory at Naval Air Station, Alameda,
are in the process of converting the laboratory to a commercial enterprise. The new
venture, to be named Alameda Analytical Services Company, will most probably
commence commercial operations on or about 1 May 1997, and initially employ eight
people.
Alameda Analytical Services Company will be constituted as a joint venture between
the current employees, and UNC Incorporated, an aviation maintenance company with
over $500 million annual sales. The commercial laboratory will provide chemical
analytical, and physical testing services to the environmental and aviation industries. At
the time of this writing, Alameda Analytical Services Company has commitments from
clients worth over $200,000. It is anticipated that revenues will exceed $500,000 by the
end of 1997, and rise to $1.3 million by the end of the century. Personnel levels will rise
to meet these objectives.
Alameda Analytical Services is an descendent of

Reopening the airfield would significantly improve the financial prospects of Alameda
Analytical Services. A vibrant aviation community will bring jobs and tax dollars to the
region as well as economic success to companies involved in aviation maintenance. To
this extent, Alameda Analytical Services has been in contact with the management of
Ultimate Aerospace Refinishing Company, UARCO, and with Joe Davis of AirOps, Inc.
The managers of these three organizations have found that their business interests will be
mutually supportive, and that these companies could benefit by bringing other aviation

companies to Alameda. In the case of Alameda Analytical Services, it would be much
more convenient to test aviation parts and materials while a plane is here for some other
type of service, than it would be to ship parts and materials across the country or across
the Pacific Ocean.
Therefore, the employees of Alameda Analytical Services Company and their venture
partner, UNC Incorporated, urge you to establish that 6,000 feet of runway 13 -31 become
available for nonscheduled daylight -only use after Naval Air Station, Alameda is closed.
By nonscheduled we mean aircraft arriving for and departing after maintenance. An
airfield with such restrictions would result in few flights of small private planes, and in
that way, protect the community from unreasonable noise.
We hope that this information will be useful and helpful to you in making your decision.
If you wish additional information about Alameda Analytical Services Company or our
plans for the future, please feel free to contact Daniel Roberts at the telephone number
listed below.
Very truly yours,
Daniel Roberts
