ORAL COMMUNICATIONS, NON - AGENDA
(06- ) Gretchen Lipow, Alameda (submitted handout),
stated six to twenty -four story condominiums are planned
for Oakland's Oak Street to Ninth Street project; traffic
on Interstate 880 would be impacted; questioned why the
impact has not been brought to public attention in Alameda;
exempting Measure A at Alameda Point would increase density
and change Alameda; Measure A does not interfere with the
City's ability to develop housing at Alameda Point; the
term "exemption" is vague; urged not placing an exemption
on the ballot because the campaign would be heavily
financed by developers who want to build condominiums on
the other side of the estuary.

Re: Acceptance of Park Street Clock, Donated by Frank and Debbie
George, owners of Pillow Park Plaza
BACKGROUND
Pillow Park Plaza owners Debbie and Frank George would like to contribute an
outdoor town clock to Park Street. 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.

TO: Honorable Mayor and

FROM: Debra Kurita
City Manager
RE: Recommendation to Award Contracts in the Amount of $417,445.56 for
Information Technology in the New Main Library
BACKGROUND
On December 2, 2002, the City was awarded a State Library Grant for $15,487,952 for the
construction of a new main library. 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:

reserved fund for the New Main Library Construction Project and the dedicated fund for Library
Technology, Fund 317.

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.

Re: Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Grant
Contract Between the State of California Department of Boating
and Waterways and the Alameda Police Department
BACKGROUND
The Police Department has been awarded a $28,000.00 grant from the State of
California Department of Boating and Waterways. The terms and conditions of
this grant are contained in a contract between the Department of Boating and
Waterways and the Alameda Police Department. This grant is made available
to qualifying law enforcement agencies for the purpose of purchasing
equipment for existing marine patrol units. The Police Department Harbor
Patrol Unit will use the grant funds to purchase new and replacement
equipment to enhance the delivery of marine patrol and enforcement services
to the maritime community in and around Alameda waterways.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Through the provision of this grant, the Police Department will have the ability
to purchase $28,000 in new and/or replacement equipment that was not
currently appropriated in the 2006 -07 budget. In order to complete the
agreement, the proposed resolution authorizes the City Manager to execute the
contract between the State and the City. A copy of the Equipment and
Operation Contract between the State of California and the Alameda Police
Department is on file in the City Clerk's office.
BUDGET CONSIDERATION /FINANCIAL IMPACT
The terms and conditions of this grant do not include a cost matching provision.
Grant funds will be released in a reimbursement program whereby the Police
Department is completely reimbursed for the purchases made pursuant to the
Grant Contract. There is no direct financial impact to the General Fund budget.

eighteen months with very little movement; the budget has

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

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.

City Council, Alameda Reuse and

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

are paved along Grand Avenue from Lincoln Avenue to Park Street;

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.

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.

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.
II. Risk Management Function (Safety and Loss Control)
The second function of the Administrative Management Analyst would be to
assist the Risk Manager in varied functions of Risk Management. Those duties
include, but are not limited to the following:
• Assisting the Risk Manager in Updating and revising CaIOSHA's
mandated Injury, Illness and Prevention Program.
• Assisting in the designing and implementation of employee health and
safety programs.
• Conducting ergonomic evaluations.
Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority
Community Improvement Commission
July 5, 2006

• Presiding over City -wide Safety Committee as required by ACEA's MOU.
• Assisting with safety training.
• Reviewing insurance requirements, certificates of insurance and
endorsements for all City contracts and most City permits.
• Reviewing insurance requirements, certificates of insurance and
endorsements for all ARRA- issued Agreements and Licenses.
• Assisting with questions from staff and contractors on meeting contractual
insurance requirements.
• Assisting the Risk Manager with updating and maintaining the City's
Property ($188 million in real and personal property), Auto Physical
Damage (all City rolling stock), and Certificate of Coverage Programs.
• Preparing applications and securing documentation for insurance policy
procurement.
• Assisting with scene investigations.
Under the direction of the Risk Manager, investigating and adjusting low
exposure tort claims.
• Preparing and presenting cases for the Claims Board.
• Preparing computer - generated reports for Risk Manager as required for
analysis and trends.
• Responding and advising staff in all risk management matters.
In the absence of a Risk Management Analyst and in addition to the duties listed
above, the Risk Manager handles other loss control matters such as:
• The self- administration of all liability claims against the City.
• Litigation management under the direction of the City Attorney.
• Workers' Compensation claims and litigation.
• Industrial injury reporting to the State and Federal OSHA.
Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority
Community Improvement Commission
July 5, 2006

Annual Self- Insured Report to the State.
• Environmental issues at Alameda Point for insurance evaluation and
reporting.
• Base transfer insurance and risk transfer issues.
• Small Claims Court Hearings.
• Director duties on the Boards of the Local Agency Workers' Compensation
Excess Claims Authority (LAWCX) and the California Joint Powers Risk
Management Authority (CJPRMA), our excess workers' compensation and
excess liability pools.
• Disaster Preparedness with Police and Fire.
• Financial projections and actuarial analysis for self- insured programs and
reserves.
• Keeps up to date on CaIOSHA and FedOSHA Regulations, and design
and implement training to meet the mandates.
• Risk analysis in all areas of City government.
The ability of Risk Management to meet legal deadlines regarding claims and
litigation is essential. 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.

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

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:

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

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

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.

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.
Respectfull submitted,
