Public Comment: Jean Sweeney, Alameda, stated that development
agreements are enforceable by law even if the development does not
materialize as long as there is public benefit; SunCal has already
sold their interest to D. E. Shaw; the Alameda Point Master Plan has
twenty pages of parks that may or not happen and contains big
promises about saving the historic buildings; the SunCal initiative
has a different story; demolishing three hundred buildings to make
way for six thousand homes on toxic land in a flood plain; to rip off
Alameda citizens is unconscionable.
The Special Meeting was adjourned to Closed Session to consider:

(54956.8); Property: Alameda Point; Negotiating parties: City Council
/ AARRA / CIC / SunCal; Under negotiations: Price and terms.
Following the Closed Session, the Special Meeting was reconvened and

received a briefing on the status of negotiations with SunCal; no
action was taken.
