Authorization for the Executive Director to finalize and execute a five-year lease with a five -year option to renew for Building 90 with Forty Plus of Northern California. Speakers: None. There was no discussion. Alternate Friedman motioned that the ARRA authorize the Executive Director to finalize and execute a five -year lease with a five -year option to renew for Building 90 with Forty Plus of Northern California. The motion was seconded by Alternate Sweeney and passed by the following voice vote: Ayes: 6. Noes: 0. Absent: 3. (Alternate Ornelas arrived at 5:40 p.m. and Member Daysog arrived at 5:45 p.m.) . ORAL REPORTS 4 -A. Navy presentation regarding lead -based paint abatement. Commander Scott Smith provided an overview of the laws and regulations governing the abatement of the lead -based paint hazards in the Big Whites and CPO units in the west housing area. He stated that the abatement requirements are more strict for federally -owned housing which is being transferred as residential property (rather than for some other use). The guidelines state that the paint must be "eliminated, enclosed or encapsulated" and that the corrective action must have a "minimum effective life of 20 years ". The Navy had numerous meetings to determine the best method of abating the hazard, and in October 1997, a decision was made and a scope of work and budget determined. However, the bids received were for double the budgeted amount of $2 million, and the scope of work had to be revised. The Navy has now determined the revised method of abatement, a contract is being negotiated, and work is scheduled to begin on the Big Whites on July 1, with completion by October 1, and on the CPO units on October 1, with completion by December 1. Each unit will be turned over to the ARRA as it is completed, so that it may be immediately placed on the market for lease by Gallagher & Lindsey. Commander Smith emphasized that once the Navy has abated the property and turned it over to the ARRA, it will be the responsibility of the new occupants to maintain the abated condition. Member Kerr inquired if the CPO units are to be rented or turned over to the homeless collaborative, and Executive Director Kay Miller stated they will be going to the homeless. Member Kerr suggested that it may be more cost - effective to replace the windows entirely rather than abate the paint hazard, and Commander Smith indicated they are exploring both options. Chair Appezzato thanked the Navy for their responsiveness in finding a resolution. He pointed out that two weeks ago, Admiral Nash met with ARRA and City staff and inspected the property and promised a solution within two weeks. Member DeWitt stated that the County lead prevention program is very competent and has valuable information about contractors, and he hoped the Navy would be in contact with them. recycled paper 2 H:\MENSLEY\ARRA\MINUTES \1998 \6- 3- 98.MIN Commander Smith indicated that Dale Hagen from the County has provided helpful information. Mr. Hagen then spoke briefly about his review of the Navy's abatement plan and stated that what they are planning to do will address all the lead hazards and enable the housing to be safely occupied. 4 -B. Oral report from the BRAG updating the ARRA on current activities. BRAG Co -chair Diane Lichtenstein spoke on behalf of Chair Lee Perez, who was out of town. She stated that Commander Smith had also given a presentation to the BRAG and that she was glad that a solution has been found. She said that another question the BRAG is concerned about is the Navy's remedial investigation report, a draft of which was presented to the RAB in February. They would like the report to be more thorough and consistent in defining the contaminated sites which need to be remediated. 4 -C. Written report from the Executive Director updating the ARRA on: 1. Touro University 2. Antiques by the Bay event 3. EIR/EIS delays 4. Building 5 remediation 5. Alameda Unified School District land needs 6. Golf course feasibility study 7. Refuge size and management plan 8. Access to Northwest Territory and status of the 0' Club Member DeWitt requested additional information about the EIR/EIS delay. Executive Director Miller indicated that when the City reviewed the draft document, they found it to be deficient. Therefore, a decision was made jointly with the Navy to take corrective action now rather than later. This will probably result in a delay of three months for the Record of Decision. Member Kerr inquired as to when the Northwest Territory may be open to the public. Executive Director Miller stated that the Cooperative Services Manager is working with the City's Risk Manager to determine what needs to be done to protect the City from liability. Chair Appezzato added that there are not the financial or personnel resources within the City to open it to unlimited access; perhaps it will be open on specific days soon. Member DeWitt asked whit the policy is for general access by the public to Alameda Point. Ms. Miller deferred to Commander Smith, since it is the Navy which has'set this policy. Commander Smith said that the policy is that access is only for official business, not recreation or touring. However, in approximately one month, the picnic area and tennis courts should be available for public use through the Parks and Recreation Department. Alternate Sweeney expressed his concern that the Board had not been informed of the Antiques by the Bay event until it was brought before the Planning Board and felt they should have had advance notice that this may be a sensitive issue. Ms. Miller pointed out that it had been listed for awhile as a pending lease on the leasing status report, and Chair Appezzato said he had known about it for awhile, but agreed that there is a need to integrate the various City groups. recycled paper 3 H: \MENSLEY\ARRA\MINUTES \1998 \6- 3- 98.MIN 4 -D.

Resources for Community Development (RCD) and University Avenue Housing (UA) have received Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds to begin rehabilitation of their properties (see attached map of the units allocated). In order to receive the federal funds, the organizations have to demonstrate "site control" which HUD has said could be achieved through a lease for the term of the Master Lease with the ARRA. As required by the federal Base Closure and Community Redevelopment and Homeless Assistance Act of 1994, the ARRA worked with Alameda County Housing and Community Development and a group of homeless services providers, identified as the Alameda County Homeless Providers Base Conversion collaborative ( "Homeless Collaborative ") to determine a fair share of housing at NAS Alameda to accommodate the homeless. This accommodation of the homeless was reflected in the Community Reuse Plan which was unanimously approved by the ARRA Board in January 1996. The Community Reuse Plan was then approved by HUD (as required by federal law). The homeless service providers were expected to take possession of their housing units from the ARRA at the time of the Record of Decision by signing a legally - binding agreement of the terms of their possession. RCD will provide transitional housing to women and their children who are homeless survivors of domestic violence. There are three domestic violence shelters in Alameda County, but only one transitional housing program. There is desperate need for longer -term housing and supportive services for this homeless population. This program will provide low -cost housing with supportive services for a period up to nine months. Each resident will maintain their own living space while participating in the program activities and adhering to the program guidelines. The purpose of the program is to provide a semi - structured environment which will assist residents in developing economic and emotional autonomy and lead them to self - sufficiency. Honorable Members of the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority June 19, 1998 Page 2 UA Housing will provide permanent housing to homeless families, particularly women with children. UA intends to give priority to serving families in the City of Alameda who might be homeless, in shelters or in transitional housing. UA is the developer for the project, and Berkeley- Oakland Support Services (BOSS) will provide the needed support services. BOSS has 24 years of experience working with homeless people. They deliver comprehensive services and have developed a model continuum of care that has been replicated nationally. The HUD funding awarded to the County of Alameda for these agencies specifies that all grant recipients must demonstrate site control no later. than one year from the date of grant award. The grants were awarded on January 26, 1998 (UA Housing) and February 26, 1998 (RCD). Since the Record of Decision is not completed, HUD has agreed to accept an interim lease for the remainder of the term of the Master Lease as site control. If site control, in the form of an interim lease, is not provided to HUD by January 26, 1999 (UA Housing) and February 26, 1999 (RCD), the award will be canceled and the funds lost, thereby denying these agencies the opportunity to obtain their allocated share of homeless housing units at the former NAS Alameda. Discussion: This action is similar to the action taken by the ARRA at its August and October 1997 meetings on behalf of the United Indian Nation and the San Leandro Shelter for Women and Children. RCD and UA Housing each seek a lease for the remainder of the term of the Master Lease. An interim lease would allow the agencies to acquire site control of the property and would trigger release of monies from several funding sources to be put toward rehabilitation of the property to meet life safety and building code requirements and allow for occupancy. It had been the Homeless Collaborative's original expectation that a Record of Decision by the Navy would be published by now. Because the ROD is now due to be issued sometime next year, the Collaborative is concerned about any future deterioration of the housing stock. As such, it is seeking these interim leases in order to release funds that it has been awarded to begin rehabilitating property to be assigned to it under the Community Reuse Plan. As part of their leases, these agencies will pay the common services fees associated with an interim lease. Failure to obtain site control and occupancy through an interim lease at this time would result in the loss of funds now awarded to these programs'from HUD. Each provider will be required to obtain a Conditional Use Permit from the City of Alameda before occupying the property. Fiscal Impact: Resources for Community Development and UA Housing will provide protection and maintenance of their units as base rent. They will also pay the common services charge of 2.4 cents per month per square foot of building space and 0.027 cents per month per square foot of land area. There will be no fiscal impact to the ARRA. Having these programs lease the property shifts the burden from Honorable Members of the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority June 19, 1998 Page 3 the City of Alameda cooperative services agreement budget to these agencies for the maintenance of the property. Recommendation: It is recommended that the ARRA Governing Body authorize the Executive Director to finalize negotiations and execute the proposed leases with Resources for Community Development and UA Housing. i Respectfully submitted, Kay Miller Executive Director Attachment: Map of allocated units PKL PLAY GROUND Homeless Lollaborative Housing 84 R84,V1 Resources for Community Develo} ® University Ave. Housing z/ TODD SHIPYAR 0 2 2 a PENSACOLA R D z U) 0 C -4 m z i W.

Q 11 I Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority Interoffice Memorandum June 24, 1998 TO: Honorable Members of the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority FROM: Kay Miller, Executive Director SUBJ: Recommendation to adopt plans and specifications and authorize call for bids for upgrades to Building 90 (No. P.W. 05- 98 -13) Background: Building 90 is scheduled to be leased by the ARRA to 40 Plus, a cooperative nonprofit organization, to assist working adults re- entering the workforce. The term of the lease is five years with an option for a five -year renewal. Prior to the execution of this lease, life safety, code upgrades and tenant improvements will be constructed. Discussion: The improvements to Building 90 include ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) upgrades, fire alarm installation, upgrades to the lighting, electrical service and heating system, and limited tenant improvements. Architectural plans and specifications are available for review at the City Engineer's office during normal business hours. The Planning Board determined the project is categorically exempt from CEQA and approved a use permit on November 24, 1997, Resolution No. 97 -97. It is proposed to advertise a Request for Bids on July 11, 1998, to open bids on August 10, 1998 and to recommend award of contract on August 18, 1998. Fiscal Impact: These improvements are required to comply with life safety code requirements and to allow the building to be leased. An existing Economic Development Administration (EDA) grant will cover 75% of costs. The required local match will be paid from lease revenues and a grant from the California Trade and Commerce Agency. Recommendation: It is recommended that the ARRA Governing Body, by motion, adopt.plans and specifications and authorize a call for bids for upgrades to Building 90. This matter will go to the City Council on July 7, 1998. Respectfully submitted, Kay Miller Executive Director Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority Interoffice Memorandum June 19, 1998 TO: Honorable Members of the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority FROM: Kay Miller, Executive Director SUBJ: Recommendation to adopt a resolution authorizing the Executive Director to represent the ARRA to apply to the California Trade and Commerce Agency for two California Defense Adjustment Matching Grants Background: The Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority (ARRA) has applied to the Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA) for new grant funding for FY 1998 and to the Economic Development Administration (EDA) for more building upgrade funds. OEA has a 50 percent local match requirement for grant funding, and EDA has a 25 percent requirement. The California Defense Adjustment Matching Grant Program operated by the California Trade and Commerce Agency has limited funds available to provide a portion of the matching grant funds required of local communities seeking federal funding for defense- related economic adjustment strategies and programs. The attached resolution authorizes the ARRA's Executive Director to represent the ARRA and apply for the state matching grant money. Discussion: For FY 1998/99, the California Trade and Commerce Agency received $3 million for the California Defense Adjustment Matching Grant Program. All 1991, 1993 and 1995 California BRAC closure facilities may compete for this funding. The funding is being made available through two competitive rounds of $1,500,000 each. The maximum amount any community may apply for is $300,000. The state selection guidelines favor recent base closures versus older reuse authorities; therefore, approval of the ARRA's grant application is not a certainty. In 1993/94, when the ARRA received its funding from OEA through the East Bay Conversion and Reinvestment Commission, the ARRA did receive a matching grant;from the California Defense Adjustment Matching Grant Program. In 1994/95, the California State Legislature did not provide funding -for the California Defense Adjustment Matching Grant Program, but fortunately the program was•funded again in the 1995/96 California state budget. The ARRA received California Defense Adjustment Matching Grant Program funds for both 1996/97 and 1997/98 OEA awards and our 1997 EDA building upgrade grant. Fiscal Impact: To receive OEA funds, OEA requires the ARRA to provide a 50 percent local match; however, the 25 percent match is based on the total project cost. For FY 1998/99, the ARRA is receiving $325,000 of OEA funds. The ARRA's required match is $340,494. We are requesting $170,247 from the California Defense Adjustment Matching Grant Program. We have been invited to apply for $1,650,000 from EDA for building upgrades. The required match is $550,000. A potential tenant will supply the majority of the local match requirement; therefore, we are requesting $100,000 from the California Defense Adjustment Matching Grant Program. Honorable Members of the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority June 19, 1998 Page 2 Recommendation: It is recommended that the ARRA adopt the attached resolution authorizing the ARRA Executive Director to represent the ARRA and apply for the 1998/99 round of the California Defense Adjustment Matching Grant Program.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Alameda Reuse and Redevelop- ment Authority that the ARRA Executive Director is hereby authorized and empowered to apply, approve, sign and execute in the name of the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority any documents necessary for applying to receive funding under the California Trade and Commerce Agency's California Defense Adjustment Matching Grant Program. I, the undersigned, hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was duly and regularly adopted and passed by the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority in its regular meeting assembled on the , st day of July, 1998, by the following vote to wit: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTENTIONS: Patti Van Mark, Secretary Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority Date: Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority Interoffice Memorandum June 19, 1998 TO: Honorable Members of the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority FROM: Kay Miller, Executive Director SUBJ: Authorization to amend the West Housing property management contract with Gallagher and Lindsay to include the management of the 18 townhouse units Background: In September 1997, the ARRA Board unanimously agreed to enter into a property management agreement with Gallagher & Lindsey. Originally the Board considered leasing the 31 ranch houses, 18 Big Whites, and 6 townhouse units adjacent to the former Officers' Housing. After extensive discussion, the ARRA Board decided to remove the townhouses from consideration until there was more information on the marketability of this housing stock. In March 1998, the ARRA Board amended the scope of work for Gallagher & Lindsey to include the Admiral's House. Discussion: The original residential leasing plan envisioned starting with the 18 Big Whites, followed by leasing the 31 ranch houses. In late September 1997, the ARRA was notified by the Navy that they could not transfer the Big Whites to the ARRA until they abated the lead -based paint in those units. Due to this delay, Gallagher & Lindsey revised their work plan and projections to begin leasing with the ranch houses. The ranch houses went on the market in late February 1998. As previously reported, after the first open house in March, ten houses were leased. To date, 23 of the 31 units are leased. These houses would be completely leased, except that there are some units needing comprehensive repairs or which have an illegal garage conversion that needs to be brought to code. The residential leasing program is significantly ahead of schedule. The ranch units were planned to be leased in groups of five, but the demand was so great, soon all of the units will be leased. The experience with the ranch houses demonstrates there is a market for leasing single family homes at Alameda Point. • In response to the Board's request, staff is bringing the townhouse units back for leasing consideration. However, rather than just bringing the six units located on Lemoore Road (duplexes), 12 additional units (fourplexes) are being added for a total of 18 townhouse units (see attached map). Staff is requesting all 18 units be considered for leasing because of the length of time it takes to get a lease with the Navy and a use permit (it is better to do the applications as one large parcel, rather than in fragments). Fiscal Impact: Revenue of approximately $1,200 per month per unit or $172,800 annually. Honorable Members of the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority June 19, 1998 Page 2 Recommendation: It is recommended that the ARRA Governing Body authorize the Executive Director to begin the leasing process for the 18 townhouse units and expand the scope of work for Gallagher & Lindsey to include management of these properties.

The ARRA staff report cited reasons why the CIC should act as its "agent ": (1) use of an existing agency of the City in assisting in the disposition of Alameda Point moves in the direction of involving existing City agencies and public boards; and (2) the CIC staff has experience and existing staff to issue an RFP and negotiate a developer agreement. At the November 5, 1997 ARRA meeting, the Base Reuse Advisory Group (BRAG) recommended to the ARRA that there be integrated planning of the East Housing and the FISC property. The ARRA agreed that these two pieces of adjacent property should be master planned. The CIC met on September 2, 1997 to respond to the ARRA request to handle the selection process for East Housing. At that meeting, the CIC acted to table the discussion of an East Housing selection process (i.e., whether or not to accept the May 7 ARRA offer) until a developer for the FISC property was selected. The CIC has completed the'PISC developer selection, and it is anticipated that planning of the FISC property will begin soon. Accordingly, the ARRA Board may wish to'modify its May 7, 1997 offer to the CIC and proceed to implement master planning of the East Housing property with the adjacent FISC property. To accomplish this, the ARRA Board could authorize and delegate to the CIC the planning, development and developer selection for the East Housing property and authorize the negotiation and execution of a land sale agreement for the East Housing property to implement concurrent planning with the FISC property. Discussion: It now appears timely to proceed with the planning and selection of a developer to redevelop the East Housing site because: (1) it is logical that the two adjacent properties -- FISC and East Housing -- be jointly master planned; and (2) since the FISC developer selection is completed, the planning process needs to commence immediately. Honorable Members of the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority June 24, 1998 Page 2 In order for the CIC to move forward on the selection of a developer for East Housing and enter into an exclusive negotiating agreement with a selected developer, the parties could enter into a land sale contract which would commit the transfer of the property from the ARRA to the CIC once the ARRA acquires it through the Economic Development Conveyance (EDC) process. This land sale agreement would be similar to a contract entered into between the City of Alameda and the CIC committing the transfer of the FISC property from the City to the CIC once the City acquires it under the special transfer legislation. Finally, in its May 7, 1997 action, the ARRA agreed to transfer $75,000 of lease revenues to the CIC to conduct the developer selection process. The $75,000 remains in the ARRA budget, and we presume still would be transferred to the CIC and used for this purpose. Fiscal Impact: Up to $75,000 is lease revenues was previously committed for developer selection, has already been budgeted and no additional funds are required. Authorizing and delegating the CIC to plan, develop and select a developer for East Housing could have positive economic benefits to the ARRA. The CIC staff has expertise and experience in developer selection and negotiation of developer agreements, enhanced by their recent experience with the FISC developer selection process. Authorizing and delegating this responsibility to the CIC could result in ultimate cost savings to the ARRA. Recommendation: It is recommended that the ARRA Board: 3 -B.1 Authorize and delegate to the CIC the planning, development, and selection of the developer for the East Housing property. This action should be taken by motion and requires 5 votes, of which at least 3 must be Alameda City Councilmembers. 3 -B.2. In order to implement the above action, authorize the Executive Director to negotiate and execute a land sale agreement for the East Housing property with the CIC. This action requires 5 votes, of which at least 3 must be Alameda City Councilmembers. Respectfully submitted, Kay Miller Executive Director Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority Interoffice Memorandum June 24, 1998 TO: Honorable Members of the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority FROM: Kay Miller, Executive Director SUBJ: Written status report on ARRA activities 1. Manex Entertainment/Mass Illusions. Negotiations are being finalized with Manex Entertainment for sublease of Buildings 11, 12, 13, 400, 400A, 19 and 24 for creation of a film and digital media production complex. Manex is currently leasing space. in Buildings 11 and 24, where they are working on films starring Robin Williams and Clint Eastwood. They have submitted strong financial statements and an impressive business plan describing how they intend to develop their business at Alameda Point. We anticipate that at the August 5 ARRA meeting, we will be asking for authorization to finalize negotiations and execute a lease with Manex. 2. Building 5 sublease. Negotiations and due diligence review have been finalized in connection with sublease of Building 5 to Orton Development Company. The sublease will be signed following issuance of a City use permit for the project and a master lease addendum by the Navy. 3. Letter to Union Pacific regarding railroad right -of -way. Union Pacific Railroad has asked for a letter from the ARRA indicating that it does not expect rail service at Alameda Point which would utilize the existing rail lines. In fact, the Navy has previously terminated its trackage agreement with the railroad to operate on the former Naval Air Station. This letter from the ARRA was needed in order for the City of Alameda to purchase the right -of -way along Main Street for the Main Street Improvement Project, which includes a linear park in the railroad right -of -way. Please see the attached letter from me to Union Pacific. Respectfully submitted, Kay Miller Executive Director Correspondence .c.

The transition envisioned and articulated in the President's Five -Point Plan, announced in July 1993, has started to take shape with the adoption of a community-based Reuse Plan; the implementation of an Interim Leasing Program and the establishment of tenant businesses; the signing of a Cooperative Agreement; retrocession of legislative jurisdiction, and the submission of an application for an Economic Development Conveyance. The Offices of the Secretary of Defense, and Secretary of Navy, recognize that there is much left to do in furthering the transition of closing bases, and to that end directed certain changes in the Interim Leasing Program. These changes, which were formalized in December 1997 through amendments to the Base Reuse Implementation Manual, resulted in the following: (1) They granted local Navy authority to approve leases in a standard - form up to a term of 15 years (versus the current five year term) unless the lease involves the use or storage of hazardous materials, and (2) they authorized the Local Reuse Authorities to sublease property included in a master lease without obtaining Navy approval of the sublease, provided the sublease incorporates the terms of the master lease and does not include any terms that are inconsistent with the master lease. While these changes are important in the over -all transition process, their impact on the Interim Leasing Program at Alameda Point is relatively minimal for two reasons: (1) The ARRA and this Command had already obtained 15 -year leasing authority through approval and execution of the Large Parcel Lease (LPL) in March 1997, and (2) since the LPL is more an option to lease than a true master lease, the ARRA must still go through the current Addendum process to take beneficial occupancy of property at Alameda Point prior to subleasing it. Nonetheless, we can modify Article 5 (Subletting) of the LPL to eliminate the step requiring prior written Navy consent of the sublease itself, and we will prepare and forward a lease modification for your signature for that purpose. If you have questions with respect to the above, please call me at (650) 244 -3815. Sincerely, WILLIJICM R.

As you are aware, the Service has requested a very large wildlife refuge at the former Alameda Naval Air Station. However, they have not asked for funding for capital and operating costs for the refuge until FY 1999/2000. The City of Alameda, the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority, and the U.S. Navy are all anxious that the Service take over responsibility for the management of this property as soon as possible. The Service projects that $650,000 would allow them to make the necessary capital expenditures -- primarily the installation of a perimeter fence around the refuge -- and provide the necessary funds for one year of operation of the refuge, including the cost of predator management. I recognize that this request comes late in the budgeting process. However, we would appreciate any assistance you can give us, and we stand by to help in any way we can in providing you the necessary information or justification for this request. Thank you in advance for your efforts on our behalf. Sincerely, Kay Miller Executive Director cc: ARRA Board Congresswoman Barbara Lee, Attn: Robert Brooks William J. Cassidy, Jr., Deputy Asst.

At the recent Economic Development Administration (EDA) conference in Las Vegas, the Director Phillip Singerman gave a speech. In his speech he highlighted startling information about the future of Title IX funding for defense conversion. During the question and answer period following his speech, Mr. Singerman said that the Office of Management and Budget was recommending the elimination of Defense Conversion Title IX funds within the next two years. He was responding to a question from a California base who asked him why bases were not included in his discussion about the future for the agency. I'm sure there are other bases that feel as we do that the funding provided by EDA should be increasing over the next couple of years, not decreasing. As you know, Alameda Point is faced with millions of dollars of infrastructure improvements, not to mention building upgrade needs and developing marketing materials. EDA funds have been extremely helpful to this community in financing projects other agencies would not fund. I would hope that Congresswoman Lee would investigate this information provided at the conference and work with the Administration in finding support for closed military installations. I would be willing to assist you in these efforts to seek support from other Deal reuse authority directors through the Bay Area Defense Conversion Action Teiin. Thank you for your continued assistance and support.

"Open House" signs have been placed in front. We encourage you to walk through the neighborhood so you can get a feel for it. You may notice that several residents have improved their yards with flowers (a couple have even planted back lawns). Three of the homes you will see are finished (250 West Essex, 350 West Essex and 555 West Essex). One (2780 Pearl Harbor) is partially done. Two (2901 Barbers Point and 2841 Barbers Point) have had no improvements. We hope the contrast will give you a better idea of the project.
