The 11- foot -tall, black - colored clock (photo attached) was created by Benicia Foundry and Iron Works. It is classic in design and would complement the new historic elements of the streetscape. While the clock is historic in appearance, its internal mechanism is electric, thereby eliminating the more intense maintenance associated with historic clocks needing specialist labor for cleaning and re- winding. With its two faces rimmed in white neon tubing, the clock has the potential to become a visual landmark on the street. DISCUSSION Pillow Park owners are willing to provide for lifetime maintenance of the clock and will sign a maintenance agreement with the City. The clock was treated with a polyurethane powder coating, a baked -on process that far surpasses paint for scratch and chip resistance and for durability. The Public Works Department has evaluated a site on Park Street for the installation of the clock and is proceeding so that the clock might be installed in time for the Mayor's 4th of July Parade. It will be installed in a key position in the downtown district, within a planted curb extension in the 1400 block of Park Street.

Alameda voters previously approved Measure 0 which authorized the sale of Bonds in the amount of $10,600,000, to provide the matching funds for the project and improvements to the Branch Libraries. Construction of the new Main Library began on March 14, 2005. On March 21, 2006, the City Council approved the call for bids for the Network Equipment and Services; on April 4, 2006, the City Council approved the call for bids for a Thin Client Public Access System, and for Equipment, Software and Services for a Computer Laboratory. The project is currently on time, within budget, and nearing completion, with the scheduled grand opening on November 2, 2006. DISCUSSIONS /ANALYSIS The Request for Proposal (RFP) for Network Equipment and Services requested a package of specialized network equipment and services for the technical standards required for the new Main Library. Currently, the network handles about 50 attached devices, connects to the Internet, and provides services at the Interim Main and two Branch libraries. New requirements are to attach about 200 devices to the network as well as maintaining efficient communication with the Internet, and between the new Main Library and the branches. In addition, the wireless capabilities will be increased from the current potential of 15 to 120 simultaneous users in the new main library. The new network configuration will also permit expansion into the future. The RFP for Equipment Software and Services for a Computer Laboratory requested a computer laboratory solution which would integrate hardware, software and services. This bundled package is specialized as it combines standard PC hardware, software, and Internet capabilities, library specific functions for time management, booking, and public printing, and central computer management capabilities for instructors and lab assistants. The lab is designed to be a multi - purpose facility, and will be used by individual members of the public for education and entertainment, and by both the public and library staff as a training venue. Report 4 -D 7 -5 -06 Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers Page 2 July 5, 2006 The RFP for Thin Client Public Access System requested a specialized computer solution for public access to library resources, databases and the Internet. The system permits the public to search for resources using very simple terminal devices which do require either the security controls or the maintenance of a PC solution. The "thin client" solution has been tested for three years in the Interim Main Library and Branch libraries, and is considered a cost effective and efficient method for providing public access. Equipment is fault free in comparison to PC's and requires very little staff time to maintain. To solicit the maximum number of bids and the most competitive price, specifications were provided to several prospective vendors for each Request For Proposal. Each RFP generated only one bid response. Bids were opened on April 21, 2006 and May 4, 2006. As these contracts involve substantial State funding, the Alameda Local Preference Program does not apply. All three contracts are on file in the City Clerk's Office. The lists of bidders are as follows: Network Equipment and Services Bidder Location Bid Amount Sirsi Corporation DBA SirsiDynix Provo, UT $78,989.00 Equipment Software and Services for a Computer Laborato Thin Client Public Access System Bidder Bidder Bid Amount Location Bid Amount SirsiDynix Provo, UT $53,180.00 Thin Client Public Access System Bidder Location Bid Amount Veicon Technology Beaverton, OR $285,276.56 MUNICIPAL CODE/POLICY DOCUMENT CROSS REFERENCE This action does not affect the Alameda Municipal Code. BUDGET CONSIDERATION/FINANCIAL IMPACT Estimated cost for the Information Technology package is $417,445.56 which will include all parts, tax, delivery, installation and a 15% contingency. The purchase will be drawn from the reserved fund for the New Main Library Construction Project and the dedicated fund for Library Technology, Fund 317. Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers Page 3 July 5, 2006 RECOMMENDATION Award the following three contracts for the Alameda Free Library, New Main Library Information Technology: • Award the contract in the amount of $78,989.00 to SirsiDynix for Network Equipment and Services. • Award the contract in the amount of $53,180.00 to SirsiDynix for Equipment, Software and Services for a Computer Laboratory. • Award the contract in the amount of $285,276.56 to Veicon Technology, Inc. for a Thin Client Public Access System. Respectfully submitted, f f ane Chisaki Acting Library Director CITY OF ALAMEDA MEMORANDUM DATE: July 5, 2006 TO: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers FROM: Debra Kurita City Manager RE: Recommendation to Appoint Rebecca A. Kozak to the Bay Area Library and Information System (BALIS) Advisory Board BACKGROUND BALIS is a regional organization of public libraries; members include the libraries of the cities of Alameda, Berkeley, Hayward, Livermore, Oakland, Pleasanton, Richmond and San Francisco, as well as the Alameda and Contra Costa County Library systems. The California Library Services Act of 1977 requires that each cooperative library system establish a lay advisory board with a representative from each jurisdiction. DISCUSSIONS /ANALYSIS Representatives from each library jurisdiction typically are residents of the community who have an interest in, and understanding of, library operations. The representative should attend the bi- monthly System Advisory Board meetings to report on activities in the Alameda Library and to participate in the planning of regional library events. The representative should attend all meetings of the Library Board to report on BALIS activities and to seek Board input. In addition, it would be ideal if the representative were active with one or more of the library support groups, such as the Friends of the Library or the Alameda Reads Literacy Program. Ms. Rebecca Kozak is a resident of Alameda. She is nearing completion of a Master's degree in Library and Information Science from San Jose State University. Ms. Kozak has discussed, at great length, the responsibilities and activities of the System Advisory Board representative with the outgoing representative, Mr. Marc Lambert. She has completed her public library practicum and has volunteer experience in other libraries. Ms. Kozak was advised to apply for the System Advisory Board position using the City of Alameda Boards and Commissions application, indicating interest in the BALIS System Advisory Board in the Other Comments section. For your information, a copy of Ms. Kozak's application is included with this report.

Adopted. Vice Mayor Gilmore / /Board Member /Commissioner moved adoption of the resolutions. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner Matarrese seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. John Oldham, Management and Confidential Employees Association (MCEA) President, stated MCEA has been without a salary increase for thirty months; negotiations have been going on for over eighteen months with very little movement; the budget has Special Joint Meeting of the City Council, Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority and the Community Improvement Commission June 20, 2006 1 improved by underfunding PERS contributions from 1996 to 2003; the City is offering less than inflation and asking for takeaways; the cost for the average Alameda house has increased by 31%; gas has increased 152%; MCEA is looking to stay even with inflation. Beckie McWilliams, MCEA Vice President stated a coalition of all miscellaneous bargaining groups was formed to explore the possibility of enhancing the current PERS retirement; the PERS Coalition requested a meeting with the City in May 2005; the Interim City Manager /Executive Director met with the group to ascertain what the Coalition was interested in achieving; subsequently, the PERS Coalition made several requests to meet with the City; the City has ignored the requests; only five out of thirty -one northern California cities do not offer an enhanced PERS package; employer rates have decreased with the recent implementation of new smoothing methodology by PERS; the Coalition feels the time is appropriate for the City to consider moving forward with an enhanced PERS package as a tool for retention and recruitment; an enhanced PERS package would serve to entice qualified, high caliber City employees. Christopher Buckley, Alameda, stated the Customer Service Improvement Team's main objective is to work with the Planning and Building Department to help promote good customer service in the permit process; the team is concerned that the Planning and Building Department is adequately staffed to ensure proper customer service; the team senses that staff has been increasingly challenged; permit activity has increased 40% and staff has decreased; increased fees should pay for additional staff; the Planning and Building Department has two unfunded vacant positions; the team urges funding the two positions. The City Manager /Executive Director provided a brief presentation on the Fiscal Year 2006 -2007 and 2007 -2008 budget. Mayor /Chair Johnson inquired whether there would be a crossing guard at Chipman School. The City Manager /Executive Director responded all School District requests would be reviewed; the key area is the new Ruby Bridges School. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner Matarrese stated there are two deficit situations; one deficit is the streets, sidewalks and general infrastructure; the other deficit is Special Joint Meeting of the City Council, Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority and the Community Improvement Commission June 20, 2006 2 unfunded positions; inquired whether the risk of not funding the positions is acceptable. The City Manager /Executive Director responded evaluations would continue throughout the year. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner Matarrese stated he hopes the unfunded positions do not become owed, legacy positions that are approved and funded without justification; he would rather mitigate some of the risks, especially in public safety; risks need to be balanced; he is concerned that the increased revenue is on a bubble which is based on escalation of housing prices and sales tax has decreased; the ten -year forecasting model should review the eventuality of prices coming down. The City Manager /Executive Director stated the matter would be monitored continually. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner Matarrese stated that justifying open, unfunded positions should be reviewed before a commitment is made to replenish the reserves. The City Manager /Executive Director stated any new or unfunded position requires the same amount of justification. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner Matarrese inquired why the positions are carried. The City Manager /Executive Director responded the positions were authorized by Council in the past and are currently unfunded or non - existent; Council action has to be taken to eliminate the positions. Mayor /Chair Johnson stated the matter should not be brought back with the goal of either justifying or eliminating unfunded positions; the matter should be a long -term assessment; reviewing whether to use reserves to fund the positions is fine. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner Matarrese stated current revenue is programmed to replenish the reserves; he is not advocating taking reserve money to pay for salaries unless there is a disaster. Mayor /Chair Johnson stated the matter is a long -term, strategic issue that needs to be reviewed. Special Joint Meeting of the City Council, Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority and the Community Improvement Commission June 20, 2006 3 Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner Daysog stated he was glad that unfunded positions are not being eliminated; the Police Department had a mass retirement in 2001 or 2002; Police positions decreased from 111 to 104; a decision was made not to fill the positions; the City continues to grow; conversation needs to steer towards funding the unfunded positions; funding sources need to be recognized; he does not want to take from "operational peter" to pay for "infrastructure paul." Mayor /Chair Johnson stated other departments have a number of unfunded positions. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan stated there was concern in getting the pavement management program up to speed and eliminating the backlog; inquired whether other funds might be available in addition to Proposition 42. The City Manager /Executive Director responded the Construction Improvement Tax and Urban Runoff Fund are available. ouncilmember /Board Member /Commissioner Matarrese stated the risk of not funding positions versus the risk of keeping the reserves at the current level is important to review. Mayor /Chair Johnson stated other City needs should be reviewed also. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner Matarrese stated the needs should be reviewed on a risk basis. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan inquired when the sidewalk and tree management program would be presented and whether the budget would be impacted. The City Manager /Executive Director responded the future budget would be impacted; stated a lot of money was appropriated for sidewalk improvements last February; she cannot predict the exact date when the program would be presented. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan stated stabilizing the Pavement Management Program and identifying a constant funding stream would provide a balance; inquired whether the $1.6 million Vehicle Replacement Program is a substantial increase from the past. Special Joint Meeting of the City Council, Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority and the Community Improvement Commission June 20, 2006 4 The Finance Director responded the vehicle replacement amount has been $150,000 to $200,000 in the past, except for the years when an ambulance was replaced. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan stated vehicle replacement was neglected because of budget constraints; inquired whether catch -up could be done during the next fiscal year. The Finance Director responded an equipment replacement reserve is part of the General Fund budget; vehicles that should have been replaced were set aside in favor of keeping public safety vehicles current. Mayor /Chair Johnson inquired whether vehicles would be replaced with alternative fuel vehicles, to which the Finance Director responded in the affirmative. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan stated Alameda Power and Telecom is investigating natural gas for three vehicles. The Public Works Director stated Council authorized the City Manager to submit an application for four electric vehicles which would replace three existing vehicles on the vehicle replacement list; a recommendation was made to have an all electric vehicle for the Information Technology Department also. Mayor /Chair Johnson stated vehicles need to be replaced with vehicles that are appropriate for the use. The City Manager /Executive Director stated having a Managed Vehicle Replacement Program is advantageous. Mayor /Chair Johnson inquired whether the 2006 -2007 Capital Improvement Program included anything for parks. The City Manager /Executive Director responded three parks were budgeted in 2005 -2006; stated the parks will be improved in the current fiscal year; the Turf Management Program will help determine where funds will be applied. Mayor /Chair Johnson inquired whether enough money is budgeted for maintenance; stated maintenance needs to be done and cannot wait for the Turf Management Program. Special Joint Meeting of the City Council, Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority and the Community Improvement Commission June 20, 2006 5 The Acting Recreation and Parks Director responded he is confident the funding levels will be adequate. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner Daysog stated he is happy to see the planned Webster Street pedestrian signals; Public Works projects are distributed well throughout the City. Vice Mayor /Board Member /Commissioner Gilmore stated she appreciates the response regarding how the redevelopment and tax increment process works; citizens need to understand that some funds come with restrictions on how the funds are to be used. Mayor /Chair Johnson inquired whether the redevelopment process is posted to the website, to which the City Manager /Executive Director responded in the affirmative. Mayor /Chair Johnson stated that the West Alameda Business Association (WABA) is receiving a 33% grant increase; inquired whether an increase is feasible for the Park Street Business Association (PSBA). The Development Services Director responded the budget recommendation was to create parody between the two business associations; stated WABA was raised to the same level that PSBA was funded last year; PSBA's grant was not increased; there is some room for an increase to PSBA. Mayor /Chair Johnson inquired what increase could be given to PSBA, to which the Development Services Director responded 1O% to 15 %. Mayor /Chair Johnson stated WABA's grant increase should be brought up to 33% because of the streetscaping plans; directed PSBA's grant be increased by 10 %, if possible. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan inquired whether the Greater Alameda Business Association (GABA) requested funding. The Development Services Director responded not in the last few years; stated GABA received minor grants in the past. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan inquired whether GABA's needs should be reviewed. Special Joint Meeting of the City Council, Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority and the Community Improvement Commission June 20, 2006 6 The Development Services Director responded the City has talked with GABA; stated the City assisted GABA by paying fees for a bike race; GABA is aware that the City will help if needed. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan inquired whether WABA and PSBA have different funding streams. The Development Services Director responded she was not aware of any; stated both associations have the Business Improvement Tax and fundraisers. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan stated money should be set aside for GABA. Mayor /Chair Johnson stated unrequested money should not be set aside. The Development Services Director stated the practice is that no reasonable request would be denied. Vice Mayor /Board Member /Commissioner Gilmore stated the golf revenue is down for Fiscal Year 2005 -2006 and possibly is due to the weather; the projected budget for 2007 is up 38%; inquired whether the increase is based on a projection for better weather or something else. The Finance Director responded the 2007 revenue projection is based on an average rain year; stated the last two years had excessive rain; the increase does not include any fee increases. Vice Mayor /Board Member /Commissioner Gilmore inquired whether the Golf Commission is discussing fee increases, to which the Finance Director responded in the affirmative. The City Manager /Executive Director stated any proposed increase would come to Council. Mayor /Chair Johnson inquired what happens if there are a lot of rain days next year. The Finance Director responded the forecasted revenue would not be met; stated staff would come back to Council mid -year and recommend a reduction in the forecasted revenues. Special Joint Meeting of the City Council, Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority and the Community Improvement Commission June 20, 2006 7 Vice Mayor /Board Member /Commissioner Gilmore inquired whether a large portion of the restricted reserves goes toward the new Clubhouse. The Finance Director responded the net assets are the physical assets. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan inquired what was the net, unrestricted balance, to which the Finance Director responded the net, unrestricted balance is cash. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan stated there is a downward trend. The Finance Director stated the downward trend is one of the motivating reasons for fee discussion. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan stated the golf climate has changed. Mayor /Chair Johnson stated golf is declining nationwide; the City cannot just raise fees to address the issue; people will go to other golf courses if fees are raised. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan stated a decline in playing golf on dry days could indicate that the golf industry is changing. The Finance Director stated the Golf General Manager is reviewing a lot of alternatives to generate revenues. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner Daysog inquired whether part of the revenue increase is the Return on Investment (ROI) change. The Finance Director responded the ROI is revenue in the General Fund and increases the Golf Department's expenditures. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan stated 15% of the reserves have dropped in the last five years; negative flows could occur two years out. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner Matarrese stated part of the reason for building a new Clubhouse is to change the look of the Golf Course and increase revenues. Special Joint Meeting of the City Council, Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority and the Community Improvement Commission June 20, 2006 8 Mayor /Chair Johnson stated the Joint City Council and Golf Commission Meeting is scheduled soon. The City Manager /Executive Director stated the Golf Commission is looking at a business plan and addressing issues beyond rainy days. Mayor /Chair Johnson stated the Golf Commission should not be looking at the issue as a short -term rain problem; the national trend has been declining golf for years; inquired whether the restricted reserves would be used for the Clubhouse. The City Manager /Executive Director responded the restricted reserves identify the actual capital assets. Mayor /Chair Johnson stated the business plan needs to be adjusted to reflect the current revenue. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan stated the ROI was decreased currently but was increased in the past to address the City's shortfall. The Finance Director stated the Council adopted an ordinance that established the Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) and ROI in Fiscal Year 2004 -2005; the ROI applies to the Alameda Power and Telecom and Golf funds; the PILOT applies to the sewer fund, Alameda Power and Telecom and Golf fund; the PILOT and ROI produced additional revenue which was helpful in 2005 and 2006; the recommendation was to reduce the ROI by 50% on the Golf fund and Alameda Power and Telecom because of the increasing General Fund revenue. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan inquired whether lowering the ROI further is anticipated, to which the Finance Director responded possibly. Mayor /Chair Johnson stated the ROI should not be considered a permanent source of revenue. Vice Mayor /Board Member /Commissioner Gilmore inquired whether the ROI reduction is the reason that the franchise and in -lieu fees are down ll %, to which the Finance Director responded partially. Special Joint Meeting of the City Council, Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority and the Community Improvement Commission June 20, 2006 9 Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner Daysog stated finding money under different shells is hard work; choices need to be made; thought should be given to applying future redevelopment revenues to positions and programs; a plan is needed for dealing with the public safety shortfall. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner Matarrese stated the City is taking a step in undoing some of the tangle with State takeaways; he is concerned with the direction of sales tax revenues and living on the bubble of the property and transfer tax; the City needs to be vigilant and careful; staffing, benefits, and deferred maintenance need to be reviewed in the ten -year forecast; evaluation should be done at mid -term; focus should be on the need first; applying incoming revenues to the reserve should be discretionary; damaged infrastructure that provides the highest risk to individuals should be reviewed; sidewalk maintenance should be reviewed closely because of trips and falls. Mayor /Chair Johnson thanked the City Manager /Executive Director and staff for an informative and clear budget; stated she appreciates that the budget was put together strategically; goals and long -term issues were addressed; she hopes that the residents learn that the budget is a matter of balancing; employees' work is appreciated; employee's issues will be considered. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan stated the budget shows a positive movement; the City is not completely out of the woods; the City Manager /Executive Director made some monumental steps to fill required positions and to address needs that have not been met in the last four years. Vice Mayor /Board Member /Commissioner Gilmore stated the last two -year budget addressed cutting programs and positions which would minimally impact services to the residents; the City is now looking at adding services and positions and has come a long way; thanked everyone for working very hard on the budget. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner Daysog stated funding should be applied to Lincoln Avenue between Eighth Street and Grand Avenue if the purple line on the Public Works map is for streets; the streets are covered with tar and are not attractive. Special Joint Meeting of the City Council, Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority and the Community Improvement Commission June 20, 2006 10 Mayor /Chair Johnson stated staff needs to make assessments on the greatest need, not cosmetics. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner Daysog stated streets are paved along Grand Avenue from Lincoln Avenue to Park Street; streets are unpaved west of Grand Avenue. Vice Mayor /Board Member /Commissioner Gilmore stated Public Works identified the streets that need the most attention; she would prefer to drive down tarred streets rather than streets with potholes. Mayor /Chair Johnson stated Interim City Manager Bill Norton started the crack sealing program. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner Daysog stated money has been dedicated to repair unused streets. The Public Works Director stated the Pavement Management Program prioritizes the needs based on the street condition and not traffic; a resurfacing Contract has already been authorized. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan inquired whether crack sealing is still done, to which the Public Works Director responded slurry sealing is done. Mayor /Chair Johnson stated crack sealing needs to continue in order to prevent further damage until the slurry sealing can be done. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner Daysog stated he is not opposed to crack sealing. The Public Works Director stated some streets are crack and slurry sealed to extend the life longer; sealing is the most cost - effective way to spend the money. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan stated the City has crack sealing equipment. The Public Works Director stated that the City borrowed the equipment; work was performed by City staff. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan stated he does not want to see crack sealing disappear. Special Joint Meeting of the City Council, Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority and the Community Improvement Commission June 20, 2006 11 Mayor /Chair Johnson stated crack sealing needs to be funded. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan stated that he attended Alameda Power and Telecom's budget meeting; direction has been taken to lower the overall operating cost; management would like to reduce the operating cost even lower. Mayor /Chair Johnson inquired whether or not other maintenance issues would be addressed. The City Manager /Executive Director responded the focus is to have a very comprehensive maintenance approach; stated staff is dedicated to applying funds to infrastructure. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan stated he eagerly looks forward to the sidewalk and tree program. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner Matarrese stated the tree portion is critical. The City Manager /Executive Director stated the budget would come back to Council for approval on July 5. (06- CC /06- CIC) Discussion of City Attorney /General Counsel Legal Services and staffing options. The City Attorney /Legal Counsel provided a brief presentation. Mayor /Chair Johnson inquired whether the analyst position for the Americans with Disabilities (ADA) update would have an end. The City Attorney /Legal Counsel responded the initial part of the project has an end; stated an on -going effort would continue to monitor meeting the ADA Transition Plan's goals. Mayor /Chair Johnson inquired why the work could not be contracted out. The City Attorney /Legal Counsel responded a consultant would be hired to prepare an update to the existing ADA Transition Plan; City staff would need to coordinate efforts. Mayor /Chair Johnson stated she is not sure whether it is necessary to hire a full time person to work with an outside consultant. Special Joint Meeting of the City Council, Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority and the Community Improvement Commission June 20, 2006 12 Councilmember /Commissioner Matarrese inquired whether the Risk Management person would perform other risk assessments that might preclude the City from spending money on outside counsel when sued. The City Attorney /Legal Counsel responded in the affirmative; stated the past Administrative Management Analyst position assists the Risk Manager, reviews and investigated all claims, and makes recommendations. Mayor /Chair Johnson inquired how many employees are in Risk Management. The City Attorney /Legal Counsel responded two full -time positions: Risk Manager and support staff. The City Manager /Executive Director stated updating the ADA Transition Plan is very staff intensive. Mayor /Chair Johnson inquired whether the job responsibility would include claim review. The City Attorney /Legal Counsel responded in the affirmative; stated some safety services could be reinstated. Mayor /Chair Johnson inquired what type of safety services would be reinstated. The City Attorney /Legal Counsel responded a safety committee would review workplace safety with the intent to reduce workplace injuries. The City Manager /Executive Director stated the person would work in a pro- active mode rather than reacting to claims. Mayor /Chair Johnson inquired whether another department could handle the work. The City Attorney /Legal Counsel responded in the affirmative; stated the Administrative Analyst position would provide a lot of bang for the buck; the person would provide the ADA Transition Plan oversight, risk management services, and safety services. Special Joint Meeting of the City Council, Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority and the Community Improvement Commission June 20, 2006 13 Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner Matarrese stated there is an advantage to having the position in the City Attorney's office because of internal audit functions; Option 3 provides advantages. Mayor /Chair Johnson suggested filling the Risk Management Analyst position and holding off on hiring another attorney to see how one City Attorney and two staff attorneys work; stated the City needs to provide legal services in the most efficient way possible. Vice Mayor /Board Member /Commissioner Gilmore stated the City Attorney's office has been working with three attorneys over the last several months and the situation has been an issue. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan inquired whether teaching safety should be handled through Human Resources; further inquired who is taking care of workers compensation. The City Attorney /Legal Counsel responded workers compensation is handled by Risk Management. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan stated the City Attorney /Legal Counsel's latitude is very limited. The City Attorney /Legal Counsel stated she hired an attorney to start July 5. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner deHaan stated looking into hiring an additional attorney might be appropriate. Vice Mayor /Board Member /Commissioner Gilmore moved approval of hiring another staff attorney. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner Matarrese clarified that the motion is to have the staffing level of the City Attorney and three staff attorneys; the Risk Management Analyst position would be held in abeyance. Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. Vice Mayor /Board Member /Commissioner inquired whether the Risk Management Analyst position would be brought back to Council with more detail, to which the City Manager /Executive Director responded in the affirmative. Special Joint Meeting of the City Council, Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority and the Community Improvement Commission June 20, 2006 14 Mayor /Chair Johnson inquired how many employees are in the City Attorney's office, to which the City Attorney /Legal Counsel responded seven. Mayor /Chair Johnson inquired whether all seven employees are full time, to which the City Attorney /Legal Counsel responded in the affirmative. Mayor /Chair Johnson inquired whether the City Attorney's office had any part -time staff, to which the City Attorney /Legal Counsel responded a law clerk. Mayor /Chair Johnson inquired whether the seven employees include the attorney starting in July. The City Attorney /Legal Counsel responded the new attorney will bring staffing up to eight; tonight's authorization will bring the City Attorney and Risk Management staffing level to nine. Councilmember /Board Member /Commissioner Matarrese requested that an organizational chart be provided when the matter returns to Council. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, Mayor /Chair Johnson adjourned the Special Joint Meeting at 11:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Lara Weisiger, City Clerk Secretary, Community Improvement Commission The agenda for this meeting was posted in accordance with the Brown Act. Special Joint Meeting of the City Council, Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority and the Community Improvement Commission June 20, 2006 15 CITY OF ALAMEDA MEMORANDUM Date: July 5, 2006 To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers; Members of Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority; Members of Community Improvement Commission From: Teresa L. Highsmith City Attorney /General Counsel Re: City Attorney /General Counsel Staffing Options: Request to Hire an Administrative Management Analyst The need to update the City's ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Transition Plan and the Risk Manager's need for assistance in providing professional risk management services for the City and ARRA necessitate the City Attorney's request to fill the position of Administrative Management Analyst for the Risk Management Division. BACKGROUND In 1992, the City retained a consultant to prepare a Transition Plan, as required by Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ( "ADA "), 42 U.S.C. §§ 12131 - 12134, and the Department's implementing regulation, 28 C.F.R. Part 35. The Transition Plan was designed in part to self - evaluate the City's need for modifications that would make the City's buildings, parks, and facilities accessible to persons with disabilities, as well as designed to implement the modifications needed. In 2001, the California Joint Powers Risk Management Authority (CJPRMA, our excess liability pool) conducted a Toss prevention audit of all its member cities. At the conclusion of our City's audit, the auditors recommended that the City hire one or two additional technical staff that could assist the Risk Manager in his routine duties as well as to focus on the safety needs of the City. Following the Authority's recommendations, the City hired an Administrative Management Analyst whose effective title was Assistant Risk Manager. In 2005, this position was not funded due to budget constraints. Report 1 Special Joint Meeting 7 -5 -06 Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority Community Improvement Commission July 5, 2006 Page 2 DISCUSSION /ANALYSIS The Administrative Management Analyst position , if approved, will fulfill two primary functions within the Risk Management Division of the City Attorney's Office. Those functions are 1) to serve as the City's ADA Coordinator as required in Title II of the ADA Act, and 2) to provide the Risk Manager with technical assistance, focusing primarily on safety and loss control. I. ADA Coordination Function Initially, the person filling the Administrative Management Analyst position would primarily work with and oversee a consultant charged with updating the ADA Transition Plan, which is required by federal law. This involves inspections of all City facilities (including buildings, parks, sidewalks, traffic signals and signs, crosswalks, etc.), communicating and acting as a liaison between the consultant and Public Works, Development Services, Planning and Building, AP &T, Park & Recreation and Finance Departments, as well as the City Attorney's and City Manager's Office. Following the completion of the updated Transition Plan, the Administrative Management Analyst will function in the role of the ADA Coordinator, including working with the Mayor's Committee on Disability to assure that Alameda's disabled community has equal access to all public areas, work with staff on issues of reasonable accommodation, etc., and act as the liaison between the disabled community and staff.

The addition of an Administrative Management Analyst in the Risk Management division of the City Attorney's Office will increase the response time for staff requested projects, correspondence, and contract insurance reviews, as well as availability for meetings; additionally, the safety program and related duties can be resumed. BUDGET CONSIDERATION /FINANCIAL IMPACT The Administrative Management Analyst is not a General Fund position. Because the City Attorney's Office has reduced its attorney staffing by one Deputy City Attorney II position, refunding the Administrative Management Analyst position will represent a salary and benefit savings of approximately $38,000 annually over the cost of a Deputy City Attorney II from the previous budget cycle.

RECOMMENDATION Authorize funding the Administrative Management Analyst for the Risk Management Division of the City Attorney's Office, as a part of the FY 2006/2007 Budget recommended by the City Manager. Respectfully Submitted, v Teresa L. Highsmith City Attorney /General Counsel cc: City Manager Assist. City Manager Finance Director Human Resources Director CITY OF ALAMEDA MEMORANDUM Date: July 5, 2006 TO: Honorable Chair and Members of the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority Honorable Chair. and Members of the Community Improvement Commission Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers From: Debra Kurita City Manager Re: Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority Resolution Approving and Adopting the Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2006 -2007, and Appropriating Certain Moneys for the Expenditures Provided in Said Fiscal Year; Community Improvement Commission Resolution Approving and Adopting the Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2006 -2007, and Appropriating Certain Moneys for the Expenditures Provided in Said Fiscal Year; and, City of Alameda Resolution Approving and Adopting the Operating and Capital Improvements Budget for Fiscal Year 2006 -2007, and Appropriating Certain Moneys for the Expenditures Provided in Said Fiscal Year BACKGROUND The proposed Operating and Capital Improvement Budget for 2006 -07 was presented to the Council in a workshop on May 30, 2006. Transmitted herewith are the recommended appropriations for the 2006 -2007 fiscal year. The Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority (ARRA) in March reviewed a multi -year financial plan. The appropriations for ARRA are included in the Budget document. The Community Improvement Commission (CIC) is required to review and approve the redevelopment plan and approve its funding and stipulate certain administrative expenses as necessary. Each regulatory body must act to adopt Operating budgets and Capital Improvement Budgets for their respective funds DISCUSSION /ANALYSIS The total City of Alameda budget is $320,886,370 for all funds. The fiscal year 2006 -2007 budget and 2007 -2008 financial plan continues the City's emphasis on maintaining the highest quality of Re: Resos Z Special Joint Meeting 7 -5 -06 Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers July 5, 2006 Page 2 public safety and general services, addressing new or enhanced service areas, improving the City's infrastructure, adjusting the reserves and augmenting customer service by defining and implementing improvements to the City's internal operations and systems. The proposed appropriations include: salary increases for bargaining groups that have contracts already approved by the City Council, the funding of six previously unfunded positions and the addition of two positions, starting operation of the new Main Library, and implementing a Turf Management Plan for City parks. During discussions of the proposed budget, the Council directed that the Resurfacing project funding be increased as recommended by the City Manager. This budget document includes the addition of $830,000 currently available for appropriation. This project will be subject to review and additional appropriations during the fiscal year with a target appropriation of $2.2 million. The Council also directed that the appropriation for the Park Street Business Association be increased from the proposed $98,200 to $108,200. The budget document includes that increase in the BWIP budget. Finally, in a separate discussion, the City Council/ARRA/CIC directed changes be made to the staffing of the City Attorney's office. This change results in a reduction to the General fund of $114,000, which has been included in the budget document. General Fund The General Fund ($78,342,315) constitutes 34% of the total budget and is 2.8% greater than the 2005 -2006 budget ($76,172,840). General Revenues General Fund revenue is projected to grow by 6.5% over 2005 -2006 fiscal year revenues. The major revenue items show the following growth: Property Taxes Sales Taxes Property Transfer Tax Utility Users Taxes Motor Vehicle In -Lieu 13.0% -3.5% 3.0% 3.0% 5.3% As all of these sources, with the exception of property and motor vehicle in -lieu taxes, are affected by local economic conditions, they will fluctuate with moderate economic changes. Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers General Appropriations July 5, 2006 Page 3 The General Fund operating budget has increased 2.8% over the 2005 -2006 budget. It includes costs associated with the opening of the new Library. In addition, programmatic changes were made in the vehicle replacement and technology replacement practices, both of which result in budgetary practice changes as well. In order to implement the Fleet Management principles, a one -time use of the equipment replacement fund balance as made. This change adds $1.7 million to expenditures; approximately $600,000 higher than in Fiscal Year 2005 -2006. Other Major Funds Economic Development, Community Development, and Housing, all under the aegis of Development Services, total $67,712,632. The majority of this revenue is from lease revenues, draw downs from previously sold bonds, federal grants and other state or county grants. Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority The Authority has reviewed a long -range financial forecast. The budget will be revisited as conditions and events warrant during the fiscal year. The following is a summary: Estimated Revenues Appropriations Lease Revenues $11,644,808 $13,299,486 Debt Service $400,000 TOTAL $11,644,808 $13,699,486 Community Improvement Commission The Community Improvement Commission's review and approval of Economic Development/Redevelopment and Housing funds is required by state law. This budget is a minimalist budget with only a small amount allocated for unanticipated projects. Several major goals are included: > Tinker Avenue Extension — planning, design engineering, rights -of -way acquisition, financing and construction planning; > Bayport and Bayport Affordable Housing — backbone infrastructure, community park and building, and the design, financing and construction of thirty -nine affordable housing units; ➢ Re- entitlement of Catellus Phase II (Alameda Landing) — environmental, financial and entitlement work needed to shift from retail/office to residential and retail/office development; Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers July 5, 2006 Page 4 ➢ Alameda Point — in cooperation with ARRA, to secure conveyance and begin the entitlement process and CEQA activities; ➢ Civic Center Parking Garage, Alameda Theater Rehabilitation and Cinema Multiplex — finalize financing and begin construction; ➢ Other public /private projects — Bridgeside Shopping Center, Alameda Towne Centre, Ballena Marina Pier and Housing, Grand Marina housing project, parking study and Park Street Streetscape Phase II; and ➢ Business retention — relationships with employers and commercial brokers; and Following is a summary of the Revenues and Expenditures for the Community Improvement Commission: Econ.Dev./Redev Housing Estimated Revenues Appropriations BWIP 5,990,408 5,583,791 WECIP 4,502,870 5,123,112 APIP 425,145 315,599 FISC 15,141,002 11,510,820 26,059,425 22,533,322 BWIP - 1,983,313 2,436,654 WECIP 955,200 1,116,197 APIP 139,956 95,973 3,078,469 3,648,824 Theatre/Parking Project 26,296,965 27,831,000 GRAND TOTAL $55,434,859 $54,013,146 State law requires that the Commission annually approve the agency's determination that the planning and administrative expenses are necessary for the production, improvement or preservation of low- and moderate - income housing. Other Funds Measure B (ACTIA) provides approximately $2.4 million in revenues to be used for designated purposes. The majority of these funds are used for Capital Improvement Projects. Enterprise Funds (Golf', Sewer Service, and Ferry Services) have significant revenues that are from rates set by the Council to meet operating and capital costs. The proposed budget does not include any proposed rate increases for these activities. Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers Other Funds Appropriations July 5, 2006 Page 5 Capital Projects Funds total $16.3 million in Fiscal Year 2006 -2007. As additional funds are approved in the State budget or through the November 2006 initiative process, recommendations for additional appropriations to the Resurfacing project will be brought to the Council. Further after the audit of the Fiscal Year 2005 -2006, staff will present a review of the year's contribution to the fund balance and potential uses of those funds for discussion by the Council. BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT The Budget as presented is balanced. There will be an impact on the General Fund reserves as a result of the one time use of equipment replacement fund balance for the Managed Vehicle Replacement program. This one time use will result in a reduction of fund balance of $1,121,050. The projected ending fund balance 17,397,131 represents 22% of the operating budget. This remains below the 25% target established earlier but above the 20% goal utilized in order to fund infrastructure improvements. RECOMMENDATION Adopt the resolution to approve and adopt the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2006 -2007, and appropriate certain moneys for the expenditure provided in said fiscal year. Adopt the resolution to approve the Community Improvement Commission Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2006 -2007, and appropriate certain moneys for the expenditure provided in said fiscal year.

Annual Meeting of the Community Improvement Commission June 20, 2006 2 CITY OF ALAMEDA Memorandum To: Honorable Chair and Members of the Community Improvement Commission From: Debra Kurita Executive Director Date: July 5, 2006 Re: Authorization for the Executive Director to Execute a Contract in the Amount of $840,000.00 with Bellecci and Associates for Plans, Specifications and Engineering for the Tinker / Webster Extension Project [Tinker Extension Design CIP Project No. 04 -105] BACKGROUND In August 1999, the City Council approved the selection of Bellecci and Associates, Inc. for the design and right -of -way engineering for the Tinker / Webster Extension Project. In May 2000, the City Council approved the Catellus Mixed Use Development Project on 200 acres at the former East Housing and FISC sites. A Project Study Report (PSR) was approved by Caltrans in December 2001. The community - preferred Tinker Avenue Extension Project alignment and its connection to Webster Street was approved the City Council on March 2001. In 2002, the project was placed on hold due to the downturn in the commercial office market and the deferral of state transportation improvement funding for the project. The proposed Tinker Avenue Extension Project is intended to serve the western half of Alameda and will provide a key infrastructure component for the development of Bayport and future development at the FISC and the Alameda Point project, west of Main Street. Current entitlements for development at the FISC site include 1.3 million square feet of office and R &D facilities. Projects currently under construction at the former East Housing site include a new K- 8 school and community park, 437 single - family detached homes, 58 single - family duplexes, and 52 multi - family rental units. Negotiations with the Navy to acquire Alameda Point are still underway. The Tinker Avenue Extension Project is intended to: • Relieve traffic congestion on Atlantic Avenue; • Improve the level of service at Webster (SR 260) /Atlantic Intersection; • Improve pedestrian and bicycle access in western Alameda by reducing conflicts at Atlantic Avenue /Webster Street and adding east -west connections across State Route 260; • Create a more urbanized street system along the Webster Street corridor; Report 1 -A CIC Meeting 7 -5 -06 Honorable Chair and Members of the Community Improvement Commission July 5, 2006 Page 2 of 3 • Eliminate non - standard features of the existing Tinker Avenue access at Webster Street; • Improve stopping sight distance between the Webster Tube and the Tinker Avenue intersection; • Improve the traffic circulation and access between SR 260 and Tinker Avenue; • Improve mobility to serve the approved redevelopment of the former FISC facility and the former East Housing complex under the Catellus Mixed Used Development Project; • Provide new access to Alameda Point, the western-most and largest portion of the former Alameda Naval Air Station; and • Improve College of Alameda access. Currently Atlantic Avenue is the primary route used by vehicles traveling between central Alameda and Alameda Point. Construction of Tinker will provide relief to that east west route, and build travel capacity for increased traffic in the future with the development of Alameda Point. Atlantic Avenue also provides the main entrance and exit for the College of Alameda. College of Alameda estimates that about 60% of the students use the Webster/Posey Tubes. Since the project restarted in 2005, staff has been working with Bellecci & Associates to update and resubmit the Project Report (PR) to address Caltrans- mandated geometry changes to the PR layout, to provide improved site distance and safety at the Tinker/Webster intersection. The PR is currently in the final stage of review and approval by Caltrans. Once the PR is approved, the City will be authorized to proceed with the preparation of plans, specifications and engineering and right -of -way. DISCUSSION In 1999, Bellecci & Associates was selected and approved as the consultant for the Tinker / Webster Extension Project, which is now listed on the CIP as Project No. 04 -105. The proposed agreement with Bellecci and Associates is in the amount of $840,000, which includes a five percent contingency. The scope of work includes the following major tasks: 1. Project Management 2. Permits & Reports 3. 65% PS &E 4. 95% PS &E 5. 100% PS &E 6. Bid PS &E 7. PS &E Support Tasks 8. Supplemental Surveys 9. Geotechnical & Hazardous Materials Reports 10. Joint Trench Relocation Design for Neptune Park A detailed description of work and budget for each of the major tasks is provided in the Agreement which is on file in the City Clerk's Office. The current schedule calls for preparation of 65% PS &E to begin in July 2006, with bid documents to be complete and ready for City Council approval in July 2007. Honorable Chair and Members of the Community Improvement Commission POLICY DOCUMENT CROSS REFERENCE July 5, 2006 Page 3 of 3 The Mitigated Negative Declaration / Initial Study was prepared, circulated and recommended for approval by the City Council at the Planning Board's August 27, 2001 meeting. The MND &IS was approved by the City Council on May 21, 2002. It has been reviewed, considered and found to be adequate for use by Caltrans, as a CEQA Responsible Agency, in approving that portion of the City's project that occurs within the State Highway right -of -way. An approved Categorical Exclusion for NEPA clearance is expected in July 2006. Design of the project will be in conformance with state, regional, local and transit operator system planning requirements. The project is consistent with the Alameda General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Alameda Point Improvement Plan, Bike Plan and Community Reuse Plan. BUDGET CONSIDERATION/FINANCIAL IMPACT This request is in conformance with the City's Fiscal Neutrality Policy. No general fund monies will be used for implementation of the Project. The proposed Agreement will be funded from Economic Development Agency (EDA) grant reimbursements and Bayport traffic mitigation fees. RECOMMENDATION Authorize the Executive Director to execute the attached Agreement with Bellecci & Associates, Inc. in the amount of $840,000.00, for the preparation of plans, specifications and engineering for the Tinker / Webster Extension Project, CIP Project No. 04 -105.
