ORAL REPORTS
4 -A. Oral report from the BRAG updating the ARRA on current activities.
BRAG Chair Lee Perez reported that there was no BRAG meeting in September. Discussions
about the restructuring of the BRAG are ongoing, and a progress report will be made shortly.
4 -B. Written report from the Executive Director updating the ARRA on:
1. Alameda Point Open House on November 14, 1998.
Executive Director Miller indicated that the date of the Open House was moved from October 24
to November 14, 1998 to allow more time for publicity and preparations. There has been a
meeting with some of the Alameda Point tenants, who are looking forward to publicizing their
' businesses and bringing people out to view their facilities. The BRAG Community Involvement
Committee is organizing the event.
4 -C. Oral report from the Executive Director (non - discussion items).
Executive Director Miller noted that the USS Hornet Museum will have its grand opening on
October 17, and there will be an Electric Vehicle (EV) Expo on October 24 -25 at Alameda Point.
The Northwest Territory will be opened for the EV Expo.
Also, the City Engineering and Public Works Departments will be moving out to Building 1 on
October 16 -17. As a result, the ARRA Facilities staff will be moving into the west wing of
Building 1. The ARRA office will be closed October 16 due to the moves.
Member DeWitt remarked that, according to the leasing status report, Buildings 5 and 5 -A are to
be leased, although the master plan had marked them for demolition. He questioned why the
master plan is not being followed regarding these two buildings. Executive Director Miller stated
that the ARRA -Board had previously approved the lease for Building 5 and that the tenants are in
the process of obtaining their use permit. The prospective tenants for Building 5 -A may have some
problems obtaining a use permit (due to parking), so they are going through the permit process
before coming to the ARRA Board. These buildings were marked for demolition because it was
not thought that they were leasable; however, it would cost more to demolish them than the rent to
be obtained from leasing them.

Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority
Interoffice Memorandum
October 26, 1998
TO: Honorable Members of the
Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority
FROM: Kay Miller, Executive Director
SUBJ: Recommendation regarding the next step in assessing options for development
and financing of a golf course in the Northwest Territory
Background:
The Community Reuse Plan contemplates a "links style" golf course in the Northwest Territory. The
Reuse Plan designates approximately 130 acres of the Northwest Territory property to a golf course
and approximately 75 acres to an R &D /light industrial site. The Reuse Plan assumed that this much
acreage would be available for reuse in the Northwest Territory.
Once it was determined that the wildlife refuge actually comprises 560 acres, ARRA staff was able
to determine that approximately 214 acres remained for reuse and redevelopment in the Northwest
Territory. It appeared that this remaining acreage would not be sufficient to accommodate both the
golf course and the R &D site. Further, the Economic Development Conveyance business plan,
which was moderated by the traffic constraints which would limit the buildout of Alameda Point,
assumes that the R &D site would not be developed in the Northwest Territory -- only the golf course.
Based on this new information, in December 1997, the ARRA issued a request for proposals for a
feasibility study to be conducted to look at the physical and economic feasibility of developing an
18 -hole championship golf course in the 214 -acre Northwest Territory site. Consultants were asked
to look at the viability of such a development both with and without a destination resort hotel as a
part of that plan.
Discussion:
In June, the feasibility consultants, Kyle Phillips & Associates, presented the findings of their study
for the 214 -acre site to the BRAG and then presented the same report to the ARRA Board in July.
The results of that study indicated that an 18 -hole championship golf course could be developed on
the site and that not only was it financially viable, it could generate substantial revenues. The study
concluded that the amount of revenue generation was directly related to the amount of green fees
charged. The study further concluded that an 18 -hole championship golf course on the site was
viable with or without an adjacent resort hotel, but that the viability and attractiveness of the golf
course was enhanced with the addition of a resort hotel. The conceptual plan that was presented
included a golf course clubhouse/hotel site of approximately 15 acres. The hotel was projected to
accommodate 200 hotel rooms and conferences of approximately 220 attendees. The City of
Alameda Golf Commission endorsed the concept of this type of golf course at Alameda Point (see
attached letter from the Commission Chairperson).
Ken Hansen, member of the BRAG, along with a local golf course design and management group,
Hugh McKay Associates, presented to the BRAG in May and to the ARRA in September an
alternative concept for a golf course /destination resort layout. This concept was for a 36 -hole golf
course (18 holes links style and 18 holes "new St. Andrews" style). The concept plan also called
Honorable Members of the
Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority
October 26, 1998
Page 2
for a resort and conference facilities, a golf museum, a St. Andrews style clubhouse, and a golf
academy. The total acreage for this golf course /resort concept was presented as 272 acres. The
proposed layout includes the 214 acres in the Northwest Territory and additional acreage to the east
of the Northwest Territory which is currently planned for the 57 -acre City sports complex, plus the
proposed golf academy located to the east of the Alameda Point Main Gate, the park area (formerly
known as the spike and pitch), and the Officers' Club. The conceptual design appears to encroach
into the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) wildlife refuge.
ARRA staff and the City Manager are ready to move a golf concept forward to the next stage of
study. The City Manager has suggested that the ARRA Board, through the Alameda City Council,
request the City Golf Commission and Golf Manager to further investigate the possible development
and financing methods that could be pursued to develop a golf course /resort complex (for example,
a private development, a strictly public development, or some kind of public /private partnership).
In order to make such a request of the Golf Commission and Manager, the ARRA will need to define
the golf course concept which they would like them to explore.
Staff evaluation of alternatives:
The project evaluated in the ARRA's feasibility study was guided by Leslie Zander, our consulting
biologist, to meet the requirements of the USFWS and the assumptions in their biological opinion.
McKay's proposal has not been subject to any professional biological review, nor has the USFWS
been asked for a biological opinion.
The McKay golf resort complex plan would require relocation of the City sports complex. The City
Parks & Recreation Commission, at its October 8, 1998 meeting, discussed the possibility of
relocating and redesigning the 57 -acre sports complex in order to accommodate the more expansive
golf course resort proposal. The Parks & Recreation Commission concluded it could not entertain
such a relocation. The sports complex plan was based on a 2 -3 year community input and design
process. Its fundamental goal was to co- locate a variety of sports fields and activities that have a
symbiotic relationship and can benefit from joint use of facilities and parking areas. The Parks &
Recreation Commission could not identify another area at Alameda Point where the sports complex
could be located where 57 acres is available with some of the existing site amenities of the current
sports complex site. (See attached memorandum from the City of Alameda Recreation
Commission.)
Either golf course resort layout could potentially result in revenue to the City. Both studies conclude
that a golf course in connection with a destination resort enhances the value and attractiveness of the
golf course. The City of Alameda has spent substantial staff time and resources in looking at the
design and options for financing the proposed sports complex. Locating and designing a new site
would be a costly undertaking for the City. An alternative location would likely require additional
investments in a gymnasium and swimming pool. An existing gym and indoor swimming pool are
part of the existing sports complex site amenities.
Fiscal impact:
The golf course feasibility study indicates that a golf course in the Northwest Territory could
generate revenue for the City (this property will go to the City of Alameda because it is Tidelands
Trust property). However, the study projects $17 million in costs to develop the golf course and

clubhouse. The purpose of the Golf Commission work will be to explore how the financing of the
golf course development could occur.
Recommendation:
For all the reasons stated above, ARRA staff is recommending that we proceed with further studies
of the 214 -acre golf course. The concept for that course does include a small hotel /conference
facility. Staff is recommending that further analysis of this site include the exploration of financing
opportunities associated with the hotel development as well as the golf course development itself,
and that the ARRA Board request that the Golf Manager and Golf Commission conduct this further
analysis. The analysis will be input to a future decision of the ARRA Board as to whether they wish
to pursue the larger golf course in the Northwest Territory.

TRIB .11 i
On June 17, 1998, The Golf Commission attended the BRAG (Base Reuse Advisory G.:,1 r:
meeting. Kyle Phillips of Kyle Phillips Design and Colin Hagerty of The Golf Research t a
reported on the golf course feasibility study at Alameda Point. On July 1, 1998, cotnmi°-$i:.s.
members attended the ARRA (Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority) meeting. Turin;.,
ARRA meeting a more detailed report was given highlighting important development, financia.i ..l 1c
operational issues. Speaking for the Golf Commission, I am writing to you in support r
Alameda Point Golf Course project.
The feasibility study has addressed many key issues. The importation of clean Merit sand is cri
to the project. The Port of Oakland and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will continue vii! :. I:n::
dredging project with hopes to create a deep water port that will enable them to receive larger < arc? „,
vessels. It will cost the Port and Engineers approximately $20.00 per cubic yard to dump the
into the open sea. The City hopes to negotiate a dumping fee with the Port from zero to $5.0i ;
cubic yard, or zero to $5,000,000.00 in revenue to help fund the golf course project. It was estiii
that the average green fees would have to be at least $65.00 to break even and service the ch., -. .
the new facility. The San Francisco Bay Area is currently under served for high end golf facih;;.(-�
Therefore achieving an average green fee greater than $65,.00 at Alameda Point should not nc�
problematic. In fact the $65.00 average achieved green fee is quite conservative. The new cc ;ur-se
at Half Moon Bay has an average achieved green fee in excess of $100.00. The Half Moon B iv
course is comparable to the proposed Alameda Point course. At this time in the project the
Commission would not like to recommend the specifics on who should operate the new facility- . 7 •t ::
Golf Commission would simply like you to know that' they have read the economic repo : ;0tic:
support the findings. The Golf Commission is supportive of continuing with the golf course l cr:,
at Alameda Point. If myself or any of. the Golf Commissioners can be of any assistance to ye'.r
not hesitate to contact me.

TO: Mayor Appezzato, Chair

FROM: Gail Wetzork, Chair
Recreation Commission
RE: Proposed Alameda_Point Golf Coarse
During the October 8, 1998, Recreation Commission meeting a report was presented by the Recreation
• and Park Director regarding a proposed golf complex plan featuring two 18 -hole golf courses, a resort
and conference facility, golf museum, clubhouse, and a golf academy. This proposal was originally
presented to the BRAG and ARRA by Hugh McKay and Associates and would require up to 280 acres of
land, including the area identified in the Community Reuse Plan for the Sports Complex. If adopted, this
plan would eliminate the Sports Complex in its entirety.
After Ms. McCarthy's presentation, the Recreation Commission discussed the McKay Plan and made the
following observations:
In June Kyle Phillips & Associates (golf course consultants) presented a golf course feasibility
study to the BRAG for a 214.5 acre site for an 18 -hole golf course including a clubhouse/hotel
with conference rooms.
• The McKay golf resort complex plan would require relocation of the Sports Complex and
presently there are not any acceptable sites that could house a 57 -acre complex.
• The Sports Complex plan was developed over a three -year period with a significant amount of
community input to the BRAG Recreation. Task Force and was approved by BRAG and ARRA.
• The City was already spent substantial resources and staff time developing the Sports Complex
revisiting this plan would be cost prohibitive.
• The Sports Complex is an integral part of the Community Reuse Plan and will be an important
asset to the community and for the marketing of Alameda Point.
The Recreation Commission, by unanimous vote, opposed the McKay golf resort complex plan and
recommended that the ARRA Board request City Council to direct the Golf Manager and Golf
Commission to investigate the development of an 18 -hole golf course including a clubhouse /hotel and
conference facility using only 214.5 acres.

Interoffice Memorandum
October 28, 1998
TO: Honorable Members of the
Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority
FROM: Kay Miller, Executive Director
SUBJ: Written status report on ARRA activities
1. New Deputy City Manager. Many of you are aware that the City has hired a new Deputy City
Manager for Economic and Community Development, David Berger (see attached biographical
information). Mr. Berger's responsibilities will include the economic development activities for the
City of Alameda, including Alameda Point.
2. Status of EIR/EIS. The preliminary draft EIS has been submitted to Navy Headquarters for
review. City and ARRA staff spent a great deal of time with the Navy and the Navy's consultants
in reviewing this draft. The expectation is that it will be turned around fairly rapidly by Navy
Headquarters and that the draft EIR/EIS will be available for public review in December 1998. A
public meeting on the draft is expected in January 1999. The final EIS is expected to be completed
in April 1999 leading to a Record of Decision in June 1999. These dates are based on the current
official Navy timeline.
3. Lead -based paint abatement update. The Navy contractor has completed the abatement of lead -
based paint in all 19 of the Big Whites, and we are awaiting final inspection by the independent
contractor. The completion of the lease for these properties is awaiting final City Attorney review.
As soon as the lease with the Navy is consummated, Gallagher & Lindsey can begin painting and
repairs to the houses.
We anticipate that there will be additional costs associated with restoring the units which will have
an impact on the cash flow to the ARRA. We expect to have a revised cash flow from Gallagher &
Lindsey to present to the ARRA Board once their cost estimates are complete.
4. Fuel line removal project. The Navy is in the process of removing the abandoned fuel lines at
the base. This is resulting in a number of street closures and detours at Alameda Point.
Additionally, the Atlantic Avenue gate will be closed from October 27 for up to three weeks (see
attached notice from the Navy); vehicles will be routed to the Main Street gate. The Navy is working
with the ARRA and its tenants to ensure that this gate closure and fuel line removal project is least
disruptive to our tenants and the normal operation of business at Alameda Point.

5. Open House on November 14, 1998. Plans are being firmed up for the November 14 Open House
at Alameda Point. The BRAG is planning that the event will begin with a kickoff at Building 1 with
the Mayor announcing the opening of Building 1 as a satellite City office. There will be an insert
in the Alameda Journal with an update on activities at Alameda Point, along with highlights of the
Open House.

50% staff cut in city manager's office) without adverse
affect on city service levels and employee
grieVances/lawsuits;
• led management initiation of innovative Interest-based,
Collaborative Bargaining approach to Hesperia fire
fighter contract negotiations, enabling increased service
level without adding full-time, permanent staff, and
creation of several "cutting-edge" performance
incentives, all without conflict-ridden process customary
to recent negotiations;
initiated city's first employee development training
program, which instilled my customer/service-provider
"Bill of Rights" in all employees, modernized
management/supervisory practices, and created monthly
"lunch-and-learn" voluntary program enhancing employee
skill and knowledge; and
• installed pay-for-performance bonus plan, modernized
employee performance evaluation system, and created
safety/innovation award program, thus reinforcing values
of competitiveness and greater accountability.

Atlantic Gate and Road Closure Update due to Fuel Line Removal Project
The entrance gate at Atlantic and Main Streets will be closed for up to 3 weeks
beginning Tuesday, October 27th . Atlantic Street between the gate and Ferry Point will
also be closed. The detour route during this closure will direct traffic through the Main
Street Gate, located past the Alameda Ferry Terminal. To access the pier area enter
through the Main Street Gate continue on Lexington Street, turn left on W. Tower
Avenue and continue until W. Tower turns right onto Ferry Point, continue on Ferry
Point to the piers. To access the Credit Union, follow the directions to the piers then
turn left onto Seaplane Lagoon, (off Ferry Point) and continue straight to the Credit
Union parking lot.
Several fuel lines will be removed from the Atlantic Avenue corridor. Additionally, the
Navy's contractor, International Technologies Corporation (IT Corp.), has found
petroleum contaminated soil in this area that will also be removed as part of the pipe
removal excavation. Workers directly in the pipe trench areas will be wearing protective
clothing. There is no health hazard to businesses and workers in the surrounding area
and down wind of the work site. The removed soil will be moist and will not create a
dust hazard. _IT Corp. will have protective measures in place ensuring contaminated
soil will remain within the worksite and properly contained until it is removed from the
base.
We will keep you informed if the current three week closure plan changes. We
apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Attached is a map that illustrates the
entrance gate and the route to the piers. Please share this with your vendors and
contractors.
If you have any questions please contact your ARRA representative or Lisa Fasano at
749-5951.

FOR IMMMEDIATE RELEASE
COUNTY GETS $6,00,000 FOR MULTI- SERVICE CENTER AT
. FORMER ALAMEDA NAVAL AIR STATION
Homeless Base Collaborative And County Officials Thank
Senator Boxer and Congresswoman Lee
Homeless Advocates and County Officials were jubilant today when they learned that Congress
has earmarked $600,000 for the development of a Multi- Service Center at the former Alameda
Naval Air Station. The earmark in the HUD/VA appropriations is a critical piece of the former
Base's transformation to civilian uses. The designated Center will serve as the hub for nearly
300 units of housing for formerly homeless people who will be living on the converted base. A
wide array of supportive services will be located at the Center, including health services, job
training and counseling.
California Senator Barbara Boxer and Ninth District Congresswoman Barbara Lee worked
closely with members of the House and Senate Appropriations Committee to provide funds for
the Alameda County Homeless Base Conversion Collaborative to develop the Center. . The
Collaborative represents nearly 30 service and housing providers from Alameda County.
Senator Boxer began working with former Congressman Ron Dellums last year to garner
support for the Collaborative's efforts on the base. "Having worked in support of this project
for over a year. 1 am especially happy that I was successful in obtaining $600,000 to complete
the construction of the multi- service center," Boxer said. "The Center will provide economic
development opportunities for more than 700 persons, including re -employment resources for
displaced base workers."
Congresswoman Lee, who was elected to Dellums seat in April, worked with Boxer to ensure
the community's success. "I am pleased to have been able to support this project from my time
in the State Assembly and Senate to the present to ensure that the model Base Reuse Plan
created in Alameda is made a reality," Congresswoman Lee said today. "Senator. Boxer and
the community have been great to work with, and I am confident that this will contribute to
turning the economic challenge of base conversion into an asset for our community."
The Base. Collaborative's efforts received a Best Practice award this year from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development. HUD has called the Reuse Plan a nation-
wide model of "how a community goes about the process of balancing the economic
redevelopment, other development and homeless assistance of the community in the vicinity of
an installation."

County Board President Keith Carson and Supervisor Wilma Chan, in whose District the
former Air Station is located, say they will honor the Senator and Congresswoman at the
former base in the coming weeks. "This is great news for our community," said Chan. "We
arc pleased to have worked with Senator Boxer and Representatives Dellums and Lee to make
this happen. We look forward to thanking them in person at the base and showing that former
military bases can be real resources for everyone in the community."
The Homeless Collaborative will bring the first 125 units of housing on Iine within the year,
and will begin providing comprehensive support services at that time. "The Multi- Service
Center is a critical component of our broader community building efforts," said James Thomas,
Director of the Alameda County Emergency Services Network and member of the
Collaborative. Jim Franz of the Alameda Red Cross echoed Thomas' sentiment: "The Center
offers a real opportunity to knit together the Homeless Collaborative's efforts with the needs of
the rest of the island."
Collaborative members and County officials will shortly announce plans for an event to
celebrate the victory at the former Air Station.
