3. ACTION ITEMS
3 -A. Recommendation to Adopt Resolution Approving the Transfer of the Electrical Utility
Distribution System located at Alameda Point to the City of Alameda.
There were no public speakers.
The public hearing was closed for Authority discussion.
Member DeWitt asked how would money be saved by transferring the Electrical Utility
Distribution System?
Doug Yount, Development Services Director responded that it is a savings to the ARRA budget,
which currently pays $40,000 a month directly to Alameda Power and Telecom (AP &T) for these
services. AP &T would carry these costs through their rate structure so the ARRA will no longer
be responsible for making those payments.
Member Kerr stated that if AP &T owns this utility system, they would be better able to plan and
take care of it more efficiently.
Doug Yount stated that it makes sense that the entire electrical distribution system be controlled
by AP &T and not have it split separately.
Member DeWitt moved approval of the recommendation. The motion was seconded by
Member Kerr and passed by the following voice vote: Ayes -4; Noes -0; Abstentions-O.
4. ORAL REPORTS
4 -A. Oral report from APAC.
Diane Lichtenstein, Vice -chair APAC, stated that they are presently following the General Plan

3 -A. Request for ARRA Approval of Assignment of sublease of Buildings 774, 800, 804,
CPO 14, CPO 23 and CPO 24 containing twelve dwelling units from United Indian
Nations CDC to Alameda Point Collaborative.
There were no public speakers.
The public hearing was closed for Authority discussion.
Debbie Potter, Base Reuse and Redevelopment Manager stated that United Indian Nations (UIN)
CDC had requested that its sublease for 12 units be assigned to the Alameda Point Collaborative
(APC). The sublease contains a procedure for assignment and UIN and APC submitted the
required information. Staff has reviewed the infolination and determined the APC meets the
requirements of an assignment pursuant to the sublease and that staff therefore recommends
approval of the assignment.
Member Johnson moved approval of the recommendation. The motion was seconded by
Member DeWitt and passed by the following voice vote: Ayes -4; Noes -0; Abstentions -0.
3 -B. Request for the ARRA Governing Board to Transfer Authority to Enter Into an
Interim Lease for a Nursery and Community Garden from University Avenue Housing
to the Alameda Point Collaborative.
There were no public speakers.
The public hearing was closed for Authority discussion.
Debbie Potter, Base Reuse and Redevelopment Manager stated that University Avenue Housing
(UA) has requested that its authority to enter into a sublease for the Community Garden and
Commercial Nursery be assigned to Alameda Point Collaborative. UA and APC recognize that
the assignment of authority triggers the one -time substitution clause. UA has indicated that its
core mission is to develop and operate affordable housing and that APC is the more appropriate
organization to oversee the Community Garden and Nursery. Therefore, staff recommends
approval of the requested transfer of interest in the sublease.
Member DeWitt asked if various sites had already been considered prior to the selection of
Parcel 99?
Terri Highsmith, Assistant City Attorney responded that the site of the Community Garden and
Nursery has not changed. The original sublease was not fully executed by UA. They are
requesting the ARRA allow them to assign their sublease agreement to Alameda Point
Collaborative and enter into an interim sublease agreement.
Member Kerr stated that the Nursery should be located in a site other than Parcel 99, which could
potentially be designated for market rate housing.
Mayor Appezzato responded that the ARRA in the past has already approved the existing site
and that the only action they are expected to take, is to approve the transfer of the lease from
University Avenue Housing to Alameda Point Collaborative.
Member Johnson asked if further research could be done for potential other sites.
Attorney Highsmith responded that staff had already looked at seven (7) other sites and the
ARRA Board has previously approved the existing site location for the Nursery.
Debbie Potter stated that the ARRA could approve the lease assignment now, conditioned upon
APCP's concurrence in the location of the Community Garden and Nursery.
Member Johnson moved approval of the recommendation, pending approval from
Alameda Point Community Partners agreement to the site location of the Community
Garden and Nursery. The motion was seconded by Member DeWitt and passed by the
following voice vote: Ayes -3; Noes -1; Abstentions -O.

Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority
Interoffice Memorandum
December 7, 2001
TO: Honorable Members of the
Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority
FROM: Doug Yount
Development Services Director
SUBJECT: Recommendation from the Development Services Director to Approve Legally
Binding Agreement with Alameda Pont Collaborative Provider and Authorize the
Executive Director to Execute Individual LBA's with Residential Providers, and
Authorize the Executive Director to Administratively Approve a Management Plan
for Non - residential Uses, and to Execute Individual LBA's with Non - residential
Providers Thereafter
BACKGROUND
In 1996, the ARRA approved the form of a long -term lease to be used by the Alameda Point
Collaborative ( "APC ") and each homeless housing provider which received the right to use a certain
number of housing units to accommodate the needs of the homeless, pursuant to federal law. The
long -term lease was to have a maximum term of 59 years, and that term would begin once the
underlying real property was conveyed by the Navy to the ARRA. This long -term lease is referred to
in federal parlance as the "Legally Binding Agreement" (LBA). The form of the LBA was negotiated
with APC and Alameda County, and ultimately approved by the governing boards of APC, the
County, the ARRA and HUD.
Believing that the Navy would convey the real property within a few years after it began work on the
Environmental Impact Statement to support the Record of Decision, the various provider members of
the APC ( "Providers ") began to raise funding to implement their programs. When it became clear
that their initial fund raising abilities outpaced the Navy's conveyance schedule, the APC turned to
the ARRA to request that the various properties (186 housing units, 75 barracks units, a community
garden and a few warehouse /commercial buildings) be leased to the various Providers under
"interim" leases, in order to allow them to establish "site control" to secure their funding. The ARRA
approved these requests of the various Providers between 1998 through the present, and as a result,
most of the accommodations are operating under interim lease terms.
Honorable Members of the December 7, 2001
Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority Page 2
In 1999, in order to accommodate the development of East Housing and the FISC, staff negotiated
with the APC to relocate most of their accommodations from East Housing to West Housing, "bought
out" the interest of Operation Dignity in 125 barracks units, and set by agreement the APC's duty to
contribute $3.6 million toward Alameda Point public infrastructure (through APIP 20% set aside
funds) and contribute an agreed -upon public service fee to the City as part of their "fair share" of
development.
The APC and Providers will require continued funding and rely on fund raising, grants and loans to
operate their various programs. In order to facilitate their intended application for continuing
funding, the APC has requested that the City of Alameda allow the creation of parcel maps of the
leasehold interests created by the interim leases or LBA and allow both the lease and the parcel maps
to be recorded. In addition, the APC will in the future request that the ARRA, on a case -by -case
basis, review and approve loan documents from their various grantors and lenders, and permit the
leasehold interest to be used as collateral to secure any duty to repay the loan or honor the conditions
of the grant.
Because the 1996 form of the LBA does not provide cure rights to a lender and would appear to
restrict a lender's ability to assign or sell the interest in the event of a foreclosure, the APC has
requested that the ARRA amend the LBA to provide such lender protections. Additionally, the APC
is also requesting that the ARRA be willing to convert and restate each Provider's interim lease into a
restated and amended LBA, in order to facilitate its application for grant funding in December 2001.
Because all of the interim leases are less than 15 years in length, the Providers would not otherwise
qualify for the grant funding.
As a result of the APC's need, staff and representatives of the APC have negotiated an Amended
Legally Binding Agreement ( "Amended LBA "), which incorporates provisions of both the interim
lease and the original form LBA, and provides the "cure" provisions and mortgagee provisions
required by the private lenders.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
A copy of the form of the Amended LBA is attached to this staff report as Attachment I. Using the
form of the attached Amended LBA, individual LBA's will be entered into with each of the eleven
Providers listed in Attachment II of the staff report. Each LBA will have an individual "use"
description which will be tailored to the specific Provider and attached and incorporated by reference
into their individual LBA as Exhibit "C." The Exhibit "C" uses will describe the particular uses that
the individual Provider is permitted to engage in on the particular premises, consistent with the uses
Honorable Members of the December 7, 2001
Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority Page 3
described in the Reuse Plan and the Standards of Reasonableness. It is proposed that the ARRA
approve the form of the Amended LBA and authorize the Executive Director to execute the
individual residential LBA's (see Providers 1 through 6 on Attachment II), once the Exhibit "C" use
provisions have been drafted, consistent with the uses provided in the Reuse Plan and the Standards
of Reasonableness.
The main substantive changes to the form of the LBA are detailed as follows:
Elimination of the "Automatic Termination" Clause
This provision, sometimes referred to as the "drop -dead termination" remedy, acted as an
automatic termination of the lease and the interest if the Provider attempted to use the property for a
purpose which is inconsistent with the stated purpose of the LBA. (Each LBA has a different
purpose, depending on the program and use to be made of each property interest). Under the "drop
dead termination" clause, neither the Provider, the APC, nor any lender have any right to "cure" the
inconsistent use of the property. Even with the provision of cure rights to the lender for other
breaches of the lease, the automatic termination risk under the LBA makes it commercially
unfinancible, according to all lenders we negotiated with.
2. Creation of Standards for any Assignee - Provider
This would be a new term in the LBA, which is beneficial to the ARRA. Under the 1996
LBA, the right to assign the interest in the leasehold is very restrictive and the ARRA must approve
most assignment requests; however, there were no compliance standards for an assignee- provider.
The lack of standards could expose the ARRA to a challenge that a failure to approve an assignment
was unreasonably withheld.
Under the proposed amendment, a proposed assignee to the interest in the residential housing
units must have at least five years experience:
• operating similar affordable housing developments;
• in self - management or have a qualified property manager under contract with same
experience;
• in providing, either directly or indirectly, appropriate support services to the residential
tenants;
• showing (through records) proper maintenance and repair of the properties; and
• showing evidence of proper accounting, a positive balance sheet and income and expense
statements for the most recent 2 years, plus adequate reserve funds and acceptable monitoring
reports from governmental agencies.
Honorable Members of the December 7, 2001
Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority Page 4
If the proposed assignee does not meet the above standards, the ARRA may disapprove the
assignment and such withholding of consent is presumptively reasonable. These new standards are
recommended by staff as a good "trade -off" against the loss of the "drop dead termination" clause, to
help the ARRA insure some control over the success of the programs and management of the
property. It should be noted that the amended LBA provides that in the event that the APC is the
proposed assignee, the requirement that APC have five years of experience operating and managing
affordable housing does not apply until December, 2006. However, in the event that the APC retains
a third party management company, that company must have the required five years experience. This
provision recognizes the fact that APC has been intimately involved in the overall management,
operations, fund raising, provision of social services etc. on behalf of all of the providers at Alameda
Point since at least 1997, but only begin directly operating and managing affordable housing on
December 1, 2001.
3. New Cure Periods for Both the Provider and the Lender
It is suggested that the Provider be given an opportunity to cure any defaults of the lease
agreement. The 1996 LBA did not contain any specific cure provisions, although they were implied
(except in the event of a use inconsistent with the LBA). The proposed cure period is 10 working
days after notice is given by the ARRA, or if more than 10 working days would be required to effect a
cure, then the Provider must request it within 10 working days. This is standard cure language and
staff recommends this provision, as it would not impair the ARRA's interests in performance under
the LBA.
In addition, it is suggested that the lender be given specific cure rights in addition to the
Provider's rights. The lender is provided an additional 30 days opportunity to cure a Provider default
or otherwise begin the foreclosure process. This is a commercially reasonable provision, and given
the ARRA's approval authority over any assignee- -even an assignee in foreclosure- -staff believes this
lender remedy will not impair the ARRA's interests in performance under the LBA.
4. Commercial Unlawful Detainer Right of the ARRA for APC Failure to Pay its
Fees
This is an important remedy that the ARRA currently possesses in the interim lease. The
Amended LBA retains the ARRA' s right to a commercial unlawful detainer in the event that the APC
or its Provider fails to pay the public service fees, any possessory interest taxes due, or any other fees.
Accordingly, all fees owed by the provider are considered as "Rent" under the LBA.
Honorable Members of the December 7, 2001
Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority Page 5
5. Creation of an Expanded Remedy Section
The Amended LBA retains the current remedies that the ARRA has under the interim lease,
including the express right to terminate the lease in the event of a breach which is not cured or
curable.
6. Elimination of the ARRA's Right to Terminate for "Governmental Purposes"
Under the 1996 LBA, this provision gave the ARRA a unilateral right to terminate the LBA in
exchange for the payment of unspecified relocation benefits paid to the Provider, as well as the
provision of substitute housing units. What is proposed instead is to eliminate the provision entirely.
Both the City and the CIC have condemnation powers, which either could choose to use should it
ever become necessary to reuse the property for some other public purpose or permitted community
redevelopment purpose.
7. Retaining All Environmental Control Provisions of Interim Lease
Consistent with the interim lease, the Amended LBA would specify that the lease is "as is,
where is," that the Provider is responsible for all maintenance, utilities and improvements, and that
the Provider is responsible for any environmental contamination (such as lead based paint abatement
and abatement of friable asbestos) which arises after it takes possession. The exception is for any
environmental conditions that the Navy is responsible for remediating, and the proposed amendments
make it clear that the Provider must give the Navy access at all times to perform any environmental
abatement required.
8. Management Plan
A Management Plan for residential uses is attached to the Amended LBA. It is a requirement
under the Amended LBA that a Management Plan be in place prior to execution of the individual
LBA's. The residential Management Plan, which is attached to the Amended LBA and this staff
report for your information, was developed by the APC and has been reviewed by staff. The
Amended LBA requires that any material revisions to the Management Plan concerning Property
Maintenance Standards and certain eligibility criteria are subject to the prior approval of the
Executive Director of the ARRA.
In addition to the completed residential Management Plan, APC is preparing a Management Plan for
its non - residential properties. Before any individual LBA for non - residential purposes (see Providers
7 through 11 on Attachment II) may be executed, the non - residential Management Plan must be
completed. Staff proposes that the ARRA Board delegate to the Executive Director the
Honorable Members of the December 7, 2001
Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority Page 6
administrative authority to review and approve the Management Plan for non - residential uses, once it
is completed by the APC, on the condition that its Property Maintenance provisions be in substantial
compliance with the Property Maintenance standards set forth in the residential Management Plan.
Staff also recommends the ARRA further authorize the Executive Director to execute the individual
LBA's for the non - residential uses, once the Management Plan for the non - residential uses has been
administratively reviewed and approved by the Executive Director.
There are several benefits to approving an Amended LBA, with terms as described above:
• These units help fulfill the City's obligation under the Housing Element to provide housing
affordable to very low income people;
•
The APIP has pledged $3.6 million in 20% set -aside funds for infrastructure improvements at
Alameda Point. Without the APC housing and its contractual obligation to provide its "fair
share" of public infrastructure, these 20% funds could not be used for infrastructure and the
cost of those improvements would be an additional burden on the master developer or the City
or ARRA;
• These units also qualify as "inclusionary housing" units within the APIP and the BWIP
(because these redevelopment areas have been aggregated for affordable housing purposes),
and may be "banked" and "sold" to future developers of housing in the BWIP to help satisfy
their inclusionary housing requirements;
•
The revised LBA will enhance the providers' opportunities to secure financing, thereby
ensuring a quality housing component at Alameda Point. Without financing, the project may
limp along, potentially depressing surrounding properties; and
• The revised LBA will bring closure to a number of outstanding issues and allow the ARRA to
move forward and concentrate its efforts on negotiating a deal with the master developer.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the ARRA to amend the form of LBA as described above. However, it
will enhance APC's ability to secure additional funding to continue property renovation.
Honorable Members of the December 7, 2001
Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority Page 7
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the ARRA Governing Board:
1) Approve the form of the Amended LBA as attached;
2) Authorize the Executive Director to review and approve the Exhibit "C" use provisions and
execute the individual LBA's with the residential Providers listed on Attachment II;
3) Authorize the Executive Director to review and approve a Management Plan for non-
residential uses with Property Maintenance provisions substantially similar to those set forth
in the residential Management Plan; and
4) Authorize the Executive Director to review and approve the Exhibit "C" use provisions and
execute the individual LBA's with non - residential Providers listed on Attachment II,
conditioned upon prior review and approval of a Management Plan for non - residential uses.

a. Transfer. "Transfer" means the direct or indirect, voluntary or by
operation of law, sale, assignment, subletting, encumbering, pledge or other transfer or
hypothecation of Provider's interest in or rights with respect to the Premises or Provider's
subleasehold (so long as the LIFOC is in effect) or leasehold estate therein. For purposes of this
Section 6, any transfer or change in control of Provider by operation of law or otherwise shall be
deemed a Transfer hereunder, including, without limitation, any merger, consolidation,
12
dissolution or any change in more than fifty percent (50 %) of the interests of Provider, whether
in a single transaction or a series of related transactions and shall not be effective unless and until
it is approved by the ARRA and HCD.
b. Reliance on Provider Skills and Reputation. The ARRA and HCD are
entering into this Agreement in reliance on the particular and unique skills and reputation of
Provider, and the ARRA and HCD would not enter into this Agreement except for such
particular and unique skills and reputation. Except as set forth in this Section 6, Provider shall
not Transfer this Agreement or any interest under it; allow any Transfer of or any lien upon
Provider's interest by operation of law; or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises or any
part thereof by anyone other than Provider, Provider's program participants, and its employees,
guests, or invitees.
i. Provider may make a Transfer one time within six (6) months
following Provider's execution of this Agreement to a separate legal entity formed by Provider
for the sole or principal purpose of delivering the services at the Premises. Such Transfer shall
not be subject to the provisions of Section 6(d) below, provided the original Transfer to Provider
forming such separate legal entity was approved by the ARRA and HCD in accordance with this
Section 6, and provided further that such Transfer to such separate legal entity shall be effective
only if the Executive Director of the ARRA and HCD have approved such Transfer to such
separate legal entity in writing, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
ii. Notwithstanding the foregoing definition of "Transfer ", Provider
may make an Assignment for Security or Mortgage pursuant to Section 21 below, provided such
a Transfer shall be effective only if approved by the ARRA and HCD. Approval by the ARRA
and HCD of an Assignment for Security or a Mortgage shall be pursuant to Section 21 below and
shall not be subject to the requirements of Sections 6(c) and (d) below, nor shall Transfers to a
Mortgagee pursuant to a foreclosure or Trustee's sale be subject to Sections 6(c) and (d) below.
Subsequent Transfers by a Mortgagee shall be subject to approval by the ARRA and HCD
pursuant to this Section 6.
iii. Provider may make any other Transfer with the prior written
approval by the ARRA and HCD pursuant to this Section 6.

Transfer, Provider shall furnish to the ARRA and HCD the following information: (i) all
instruments proposed to implement the Transfer transaction; (ii) a statement as to the existence
of any litigation questioning the validity of the proposed Transfer transaction; (iii) a description
of the proposed Transferee's qualifications and financial background; (iv) a description of the

transaction may result in an encumbrance on the Premises, full particulars of the terms and
conditions of the encumbrance; and; (vi) such other information as the ARRA and HCD may
reasonably require. In addition to other considerations that may affect the decision to approve a
13
Transfer, the ARRA and HCD shall consider whether it is compelled by Provider's financing and
whether the resulting use of the Premises will be consistent with and fulfill the purposes of the
Redevelopment Act and the reasons for entering into this Agreement with Provider.
d. ARRA and HCD Consent. With respect to a proposed Transfer and
without otherwise limiting the criteria upon which the ARRA or HCD may reasonably withhold
its consent to any proposed Transfer, if the ARRA or HCD withholds its consent to any Transfer,
the withholding of consent by the ARRA or HCD shall be deemed presumptively reasonable
where:
i. in the case of housing, the proposed Transferee does not have five
(5) years of satisfactory experience operating similar affordable housing developments. The
experience must include either satisfactory self - management of similar affordable housing
developments or the proposed Transferee must contract with a qualified property management
company that has at least five (5) years experience managing one or more similar affordable
housing development. In addition, the experience must include the provision, either directly or
through third party contract, of appropriate support services to residential tenants of a similar
affordable housing development. Evidence of satisfactory experience operating similar
developments shall include records related to such developments showing proper maintenance
and repair and satisfactory physical condition, proper accounting, a positive balance sheet and
income and expense statements for the most recent two (2) years, adequate reserve funds, and
acceptable monitoring reports from governmental agencies;
ii. in the case of non - housing facilities, the proposed Transferee or its
property management company does not have five (5) years of satisfactory experience operating
similar facilities. Criteria for evaluating satisfactory experience includes success at meeting
program objectives, proper accounting records, a positive balance sheet and income and expense
statements for the most recent two (2) years, adequate reserve funds, proper maintenance and
repair and satisfactory physical condition of similar facilities, and acceptable monitoring reports
from governmental agencies;
iii. the proposed Transferee or its property management company has
not demonstrated sufficient property management capability; or
iv. the proposed Transferee's use of the Premises is not in compliance
with the use of the Premises permitted under this Agreement.
As part of the written request for approval from the ARRA and HCD as set forth in Section 6(c)
above, Provider shall furnish to the ARRA and HCD such information as the ARRA and HCD
may reasonably require. [Note: The following sentence to be deleted if Collaborative is the
Provider.] Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, in the event the
Collaborative is the proposed Transferee, the five (5) year criterion set forth in Section 6(d)(i)
and (ii) above shall not be applied to the Collaborative (but may be applied to its property
management company if such property management company is an entity separate from the
Collaborative) until December 31, 2006.
14
e. Assumption and Release. If, with the consent of the ARRA and HCD
pursuant to this Section 6, this Agreement is Transferred, the ARRA may, after default by
Provider, collect Rent from the Transferee or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the
Rent herein reserved. If the ARRA and the HCD consents to any such Transfer, it shall
nevertheless be a condition to the effectiveness thereof that a fully executed copy of the Transfer
document(s) be furnished to the ARRA and that any Transferee assumes in writing all
obligations of Provider hereunder. No consent to any Transfer or occupancy shall be deemed a
waiver of any of Provider's covenants contained in this Agreement nor the acceptance of the
Transferee or occupant as Provider, nor a release of Provider from further performance of any
covenants and obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary,
provided that the ARRA and HCD have consented to a Transfer in writing, upon such approved
Transfer, Provider shall be released from its obligations hereunder which arise subsequent to the
effective date of the Transfer to the extent of the interest of Provider transferred and to the extent
the Transferee of the Transfer assumes, in writing, Provider's obligations under this Agreement.
f. Subleases. Sub - subleases (so long as the LIFOC is in effect) or subleases
(after conveyance of the fee title to the Premises from the Government to the ARRA) of portions
of the Premises shall be permitted if (i) each of such sub - subleases or subleases are consistent
with the purposes of the program set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto and are expressly
permitted pursuant to Exhibit C attached hereto, or (ii) with the prior written approval of the
ARRA.

benefit of, and be enforceable by Transferees and/or any successor in interest.

Alameda Building Department, and, if required by the City, to other City departments, for review
and obtaining approval of such plans and proposals. All Alterations shall be done at the expense
of Provider without any costs or obligation to the ARRA. In addition, there shall be no
Alterations performed on the Premises without prior written authorization from the Government
under the LIFOC to the extent required, and in the manner set forth, in Section 8 thereof.
b. Disposition of Alterations. At the termination of this Agreement, all
improvements, whether temporary or permanent in character, made by the ARRA or Provider in

movable furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and any Alterations approved by the ARRA as to
which, at the time of such approval, the ARRA stated, in writing, that such Alterations had to be
removed at the termination of the Interim Sublease or this Agreement, as applicable).
c. Asbestos. The Government has provided to the ARRA an asbestos survey
for the Buildings. Before Provider undertakes any Alterations which will disturb any known
friable or non- friable asbestos in the Buildings, Provider shall set forth a plan stating how it will
15
handle any such asbestos, which plan must be reviewed and approved by the ARRA and the
Government (so long as the LIFOC is in effect), before any such work which will disturb the
asbestos in the Buildings can commence. Provider acknowledges that the Buildings may also
have been painted with lead -based paint. Provider shall bear any and all costs of disturbance,

Government (so long as the LIFOC is in effect), upon due notice, may inspect the Premises and
related facilities to insure performance of the maintenance set forth herein.

state, or local environmental laws. This provision shall survive the expiration or termination of
17
this Agreement, and Provider's obligations hereunder shall apply whenever the Government or
the ARRA incurs costs or liabilities for Provider's actions.
d. Inspections. Provider acknowledges that the Government's rights under
the LIFOC specifically include the right for Government officials to inspect upon reasonable
notice the Premises for compliance with environmental, safety, and occupational health laws and

are without prejudice to the right of duly constituted enforcement officials to make such
inspections. The ARRA shall also have the right to inspect upon reasonable notice the Premises
for compliance with environmental, safety, and occupational health laws and regulations,
whether or not the Government or the ARRA is responsible for enforcing or complying with
them. The Government has agreed, and the ARRA hereby agrees, that normally it will give the
ARRA or Provider twenty -four (24) hours prior written notice of its intention to enter the

Government personnel or equipment, nor the equipment or personnel of the ARRA. Should the
Government provide any personnel or equipment, whether for initial fire response and /or spill
containment, or otherwise on request of the ARRA or Provider, or because the ARRA or
Provider was not, in the opinion of the contracting officer, conducting timely response actions,
Provider agrees to reimburse the Government for its costs so long as the LIFOC is in effect.

responsible for reporting, containment, removal and clean-up of any land, air or water pollution

amended.
19
n. Minimize Disruption. The Government has agreed in the LIFOC to use its
best efforts to minimize disruption of Provider's operations.
o. Navy Permits. The Government has agreed in the LIFOC to undertake a
timely review with the ARRA of those permits which the Government through the Department

Provider's request, all of such permits shall be made available to Provider by the ARRA to the
fullest extent allowed under state and federal law. Provider shall be fully liable for its
compliance with such permits as are made available to it, including payment of fines and
penalties incurred due to its actions.

caused by implementation of response actions, the Government has agreed to provide the ARRA

lawful containers of hazardous waste generated by the ARRA or Provider upon the same
conveyance as hazardous waste generated by the Government.
r. Provider to Notify. If Provider, during the performance of Alterations
encounters pre- existing conditions which require the Government to take action in accordance

pollutants or contaminants, Provider shall promptly notify the Government, cease performance,
and secure the work site. Vacation of the Premises, or any part thereof, will be directed pursuant

this Agreement. If the Premises are, at the time of default, sublet or leased by Provider to others,
the ARRA may, as Provider's agent, collect rents due from any of Provider's subtenants and sub -
subtenants and apply such rents to the Rent and other amounts due hereunder without in any way
affecting Provider's obligation to the ARRA hereunder. Such agency, being given for security,
is hereby declared to be irrevocable.
iv. With respect to any portion of the Premises which is vacant or
which is not physically occupied by Provider, the ARRA may remove property therefrom, and
store such property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of
Provider, in such manner as may be permitted by applicable law, without being deemed guilty of
trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned therefor.
b. No Relief of Obligation. No early expiration or termination of this
Agreement (except as expressly provided herein) and no repossession of the Premises or any part
thereof shall relieve Provider of its liabilities and obligations to pay Rent accrued hereunder prior
to such expiration or termination, all of which shall survive such expiration, termination or
repossession, and the ARRA may, at its option, sue for and collect all Rent and other charges due
hereunder at any time as when such charges accrue.
c. Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
ARRA is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy herein or by law provided, but
each shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy given herein or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.
d. Payment of Fees and Expenses. In the event that the ARRA commences
suit for the repossession of the Premises, for the recovery of Rent or any other amount due under
the provisions of this Agreement, or because of the breach of any other covenant herein
contained on the part of Provider to be kept or performed, and a breach shall be established,
Provider shall pay to the ARRA all expenses incurred in connection therewith, including
reasonable attorneys' fees. In the event that Provider commences suit because of the breach of
any covenant herein contained on the part of the ARRA to be kept or performed, and a breach
shall be established, the ARRA shall pay to Provider all expenses incurred in connection
therewith, including reasonable attorneys' fees.
e. Rights of Possession. In the event the ARRA terminates Provider's right
to possession of the Premises pursuant to this Section 34 Provider hereby expressly waives any
and all rights to recover or regain possession of the Premises under any rights of redemption to
which it may be entitled by or under any present or future federal or state law.
35
f. The ARRA's Right to Cure. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
the ARRA shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take such action as reasonably necessary
to cure such default.
35. TERMINATION BY THE GOVERNMENT.
a. Termination by Government of the LIFOC for Breach. The Government
has the right to terminate the LIFOC on account of the breach by the lessee thereunder of any of
the terms and conditions of the LIFOC. In the event of a breach involving the performance of
any obligation under the LIFOC, the LIFOC provides that the ARRA, as the lessee thereunder,
shall be afforded ten (10) working days from the receipt of the Government's notice of intent to
terminate, to commence action to complete the performance of the obligation or otherwise cure
the subject breach and avoid termination of the LIFOC, which action to cure is to be completed
within a reasonable period of time. Within said ten (10) working days, the lessee under the
LIFOC is required to advise the Government of the lessee's intended course of action to cure and
the estimated date as to when said action will be completed. The ARRA agrees to immediately,
and in any event within twenty -four (24) hours after the ARRA's receipt, except when it arrives
on a weekend or holiday, in which event it shall be delivered by the next business day, provide a
copy of any such notice to Provider, the Collaborative [Note: To delete if Collaborative is the
Provider], and HCD. In the event that any such notice is delivered to the ARRA as the lessee
under the LIFOC, for any such breach occasioned or caused by the action, negligence or inaction
of Provider, or any party acting on behalf of or through Provider, for an obligation, covenant or
undertaking of Provider under this Agreement, then Provider shall either commence action to
complete the performance of the obligation or otherwise cure the subject breach and avoid
termination of this Agreement and the LIFOC, which action to cure is to be completed within a
reasonable period of time, or immediately advise the ARRA of Provider's intended course of
action to cure the breach if it cannot be reasonably cured within the ten (10) working day period
specified and the estimated date as to when said action will be completed. Provider shall either
cure such breach within ten (10) working days from the date of receipt of the Government's
notice of intent to terminate by the ARRA (which period may be extended by the ARRA
commensurate with any extension obtained by the ARRA from the Government), or Provider
shall provide its plan and program in writing as to its proposed action to complete the
performance of the obligation and shall commence such cure of the breach as soon as reasonable
and possible under the circumstances and complete such action to cure within a reasonable
period of time in light of the nature of the breach and any circumstances beyond Provider's
reasonable control. If Provider should fail to cure within the grace periods provided above, and
the Government does not terminate the Lease under the provisions of the LIFOC, then ARRA
shall have the option to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section
36 below, without the necessity of providing further notice or rights of cure to Provider, subject
to the rights of Mortgagees.
b. Indemnity. In the event that the Government shall elect to terminate the
LIFOC on account of the breach by Provider of any of the terms and conditions hereof or of the
LIFOC to be performed by Provider, Provider shall indemnify the ARRA against any claims the
Government may have against the ARRA for any of the following under the LIFOC:
36
i. The costs incurred by the Government in resuming possession of
the Premises.
ii. The costs incurred in performing by the Government of any of
Provider's obligations under this Agreement.
iii. An amount equal to the aggregate of any maintenance obligations,
and charges assumed hereunder and not therefore paid or satisfied, which amounts shall be due
and payable at the time when such obligations, and charges would have accrued or become due
and payable under this Agreement.
c. Termination by Government for Other Than Breach. In addition to the
right to terminate the LIFOC for breach, the Government is entitled to terminate the LIFOC, at
any time, (i) in the event the use of the Premises is incompatible with the NEPA Record of
Decision, or (ii) In the event of a national emergency as declared by the President or the
Congress of the United States in accordance with the National Emergencies Act. Provider shall
not seek and shall not have any claim against the ARRA for any such termination for
convenience by the Government, except to the extent that the ARRA obtains recovery therefor
from the Government for itself or on behalf of Provider.
36. TERMINATION BY ARRA.
a. Before Program Operation.
i. As set forth in the Standards of Reasonableness, unless substantial
rehabilitation of the Premises is required, as described in more detail in Section 36(a)(ii) below,
Provider shall have one (1) year from taking possession of the Premises [Note: The
immediately foregoing phrase "taking possession of the Premises" shall be replaced with
"execution of this Agreement" for the Bessie Coleman, Building 101 and Nursery
Community Garden LBAs.] to begin operating its program at the property. If Provider cannot
operate within one year, this Agreement shall terminate and HCD shall have six (6) months to
identify an alternate provider. Once identified, the alternate provider will have one year to begin
operating its program and, as provided in the Standards of Reasonableness, if the second
provider cannot perform, the Premises shall revert to the ARRA.
ii. If substantial rehabilitation to the Premises is required, Provider
will have up to one additional year to become operational, as is set out in the Standards of
Reasonableness. If in this case Provider cannot operate within two years, this Agreement will
terminate and the HCD shall have six (6) months to identify an alternate provider. Once
identified, the alternate provider will have one year to begin operating and, if the second provider
cannot perform, the Premises will revert to the ARRA.
iii. The Parties acknowledge that the Premises required substantial
rehabilitation, which was performed by Provider pursuant to the Interim Sublease, and that
Provider has commenced program operations within the time requirements of the Standards of
Reasonableness and that, consequently, the ARRA's termination rights under this Section has no
37
termination rights pursuant to this Section 36(a) do not apply to Provider. [Note: To be revised
for Bessie Coleman, Building 101 and Nursery Community Garden LBAs.]
b. Termination after Program Operation Begins. If Provider has been given
an opportunity to cure a default or to do or refrain from doing an act, whether as a result of the
dispute resolution process set out in Section 5(d) above or under the cure provision of Section 33
above, and Provider has failed to do so, subject to Section 21 above, the ARRA may elect to
terminate this Agreement. If the ARRA so elects to terminate, Provider shall no longer be
entitled to possession, use, or occupancy of the Premises, and the Premises shall revert to the
ARRA.
37. TERMINATION BY PROVIDER.
a. Notice. Provider shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon
thirty (30) calendar days written notice to the ARRA in the event of damage to or destruction of
all of the improvements on the Premises or such a substantial portion thereof as to render the
Premises incapable of use for the purposes for which it is leased under this Agreement, provided:
i. That the cost of the repair, rebuilding, or replacement of the
damaged or destroyed improvements is in excess of the amounts of insurance carried for such
purpose by Provider pursuant to Section 17 above; and
ii. That such damage or destruction was not occasioned by the willful
misconduct or gross negligence of Provider or any of its officers, agents, employees, subtenants,
licensees, or invitees, or by any failure or refusal on the part of Provider to fully perform its
obligations under this Agreement.
b. Reversion of Premises. If this Agreement is teiminated by Provider
pursuant to this Section 37, the Premises shall revert to the ARRA.
38. VACATION OF PREMISES. In the event environmental contamination is
discovered on the Premises which creates, in the Government's determination, an imminent and
substantial endangerment to human health or the environment, then notwithstanding any other
termination rights and procedures contained in this Agreement, the Government may require the
ARRA to require that Provider vacate the Premises for such period of time, and to such extent, as
the Government determines in good faith is necessary to abate the danger. In accordance with
the LIF'OC, the Government shall not be liable for the exercise of authority which is in
conformity with this Section 38, but the Government nevertheless shall not be relieved of any
liability it may have under the Federal Tort Claims Act, the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act ( "CERCLA "), and other statutory and common law,
if it would be liable in its role as the generator or disposer of the environmental contamination, or
as the present, or former, owner or operator of the Premises.
38
39. SUBJECT TO EXISTING AND FUTURE EASEMENTS AND RIGHTS -
OF -WAY.
a. Easements and Rights -Of -Way. Provider acknowledges that the LIFOC,
and this Agreement, are subject to all outstanding easements and rights -of -way for location of
any type of facility over, across, in, and upon the Premises or any portion thereof.
b. Further Grants by Government. Provider further acknowledges that the
Government is entitled, under Section 28 of the LIFOC, to grant such additional easements and
rights -of -way over, across, in and upon the Premises as it shall determine to be in the public
interest; provided that any such additional easement or right -of -way shall not unreasonably
interfere with the access to, and the use and possession of, the Premises by the ARRA or any
subtenant, or other occupants who are legitimately in possession or occupancy of the Premises
through the ARRA or any subtenant of the ARRA, and shall be conditioned on the assumption
by the grantee thereof of liability to the ARRA and Provider for such damages as the ARRA or
Provider shall suffer for property destroyed or property rendered unusable on account of the
grantee's exercise of its rights thereunder.
40. INGRESS AND EGRESS. Provider acknowledges that Section 29 of the
L.IP'OC provides for reasonable access being granted by the Government to the Premises, with
such access being coordinated with the ARRA. As required under the LIFOC while it is in
effect, Provider agrees to adhere to all base rules and regulations regarding security, ingress,
egress, safety and sanitation as may be prescribed from time to time by the Government, with the
understanding that such base rules and regulations regarding security, ingress, egress, safety and
sanitation shall not, except for military security and emergency situations, unreasonably
interfere with reasonable use and access of Provider, its employees, contractors, invitees in the
normal activities and uses permitted under the LIFOC.
41. SURRENDER OF PREMISES. Upon the expiration of this Agreement or its
earlier termination, Provider shall quietly and peacefully remove itself and its property from the
Premises and surrender the possession thereof to the ARRA; provided, in the event the ARRA
terminates this Agreement for a breach of this Agreement by Provider, or because of a
termination of the LIFOC not caused by the ARRA, Provider shall be allowed a reasonable
period of time, as determined by the ARRA, in which to remove all of its property from and
terminate its operations on the Premises. During such period prior to surrender, all obligations
assumed by Provider under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The ARRA or
the Government, as applicable, may, in its discretion, declare any property which has not been
removed from the Premises upon termination provided for above, as abandoned property upon an
additional thirty (30) days notice. Provider shall surrender the Premises to the ARRA in at least
the same condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, as when Provider initially took
possession and completed any rehabilitation required pursuant to Section 2(b) above or any other
rehabilitation approved by the ARRA.
42. QUIET POSSESSION. Upon Provider paying the Rent reserved hereunder and
observing and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Provider's part to be
observed and performed hereunder, Provider shall have quiet possession of the Premises for the
entire Term hereof, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement.
39
43. CERTAIN RIGHTS RESERVED TO ARRA. The ARRA reserves the
following rights:
a. Right to Show Premises. On reasonable prior written notice to Provider,
no less than forty -eight (48) hours in advance, to show the Premises to prospective tenants during

Premises at any time during the Term.
b. Right to Take Action. At any time in the event of an emergency, and
otherwise at reasonable times, to take any and all measures, including making any inspections,

comply with all laws, orders, and requirements of governmental or other authorities, using
reasonable efforts not to interfere with the use and occupancy of the Premises by Provider. The
ARRA shall not be in default hereunder nor have any liability to Provider, nor shall Provider
have any right to terminate this Agreement or claim an offset against or reduction in Rent
payable hereunder, due to any damage, annoyance or inconvenience resulting from any such
inspections, repairs, alterations, additions or improvements, or the failure of the ARRA to make
any such inspections, repairs, alterations, additions or improvements; provided however that the
ARRA shall be liable for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Provider shall reasonably
cooperate with the ARRA or the ARRA's agents or contractors in carrying out any such
inspections, repairs, alterations, additions or improvements.
44. CONTROLLING LAW. This Agreement and all matters relating to it shall be
governed by the laws of the State of California.
45. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. In the performance of this Agreement, time is of
the essence.

remainder of this Agreement, absent the unexcised portion, can be reasonably interpreted to give
effect to the intentions of the Parties.
40
49. DISCLOSURES MADE. Provider warrants that it has received all disclosures
required by law to have been given to it.
50. FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Parties shall execute such further documents
and instruments as may reasonably be required from time to time by the other Party to effectuate
and carry out the provisions hereof and to take such further actions as may reasonably be

Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority
FROM: Doug Yount
Development Services Director
SUBJECT: Report and Recommendation from the Development Services Director Regarding the
APAC's Recommendation to Retain the Admiral's House for Cultural and Civic
Uses, and Recommendation to Undertake a Business Plan to Study Feasibility
Background
The Alameda Point Advisory Committee (APAC) has been involved in reviewing and commenting
upon the draft General Plan Amendment (GPA) that will provide policies and requirements for the
long -term development of Alameda Point. The proposed GPA and Environmental Impact Report
will be acted upon by the City Council in March, 2002. As part of its review of the GPA, the APAC
requested that the Admiral's House be retained by the ARRA for civic and cultural uses. In response,
staff added a policy to the Draft GPA to preserve the Admiral's House for civic and cultural uses.
However, the APAC's request that the ARRA retain ownership of the House is not contained in the
Draft GPA because it is not the appropriate document to address how the property should be
preserved for those uses, but rather to provide the land use designation that would allow such uses.
Given the limited policy nature of the GPA, the APAC requested that APAC member Jay Ingram
(Recreation and Parks Commission liaison to the APAC) bring the matter of the ARRA retaining
ownership of the Admiral's House to the Recreation and Parks Commission. The Recreation and
Parks Commission considered retention of the Admiral's House at its October 11 meeting.
Discussion
Recreation and Parks staff recommended that a Business Plan be prepared for the Admiral's House
prior to any decision to retain the House by the ARRA for civic and cultural uses. A Business Plan
would include an analysis of the condition of the facility and capital improvement costs required for
renovation of the facility. The Plan would also address programming options and revenue generation
opportunities required for future maintenance and operations.
