Resolution 15723A CITY OF ALAMEDA RESOLUTION NO. 15723A
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO USE
AGREEMENTS WITH THE ALAMEDA SOCCER CLUB FOR THE
ALAMEDA POINT FIELD AND THE HORNET FIELD AT
ENTERPRISE PARK
Whereas, since 2012, through various agreements, the City of Alameda (City) has
partnered with the Alameda Soccer Club (ASC) to operate and maintain the four soccer
fields at Alameda Point Field (AP Field) and the Hornet Field at Enterprise Park, whereby
ASC maintains and improves the fields at no cost to the City and provides soccer leagues,
clinics and camps for hundreds of youth each year; and
Whereas, ASC has requested longer agreement terms to provide opportunities for
grant and donor funding to invest in significant capital improvements, such as in ground
irrigation, replacing fields with synthetic turf and planting landscaping, and to bolster
fundraising efforts; and
Whereas, in 2000, the State Legislature enacted and the Governor signed into law
SB 2049, the Naval Air Station Public Trust Exchange Act, that facilitates the productive
reuse of the lands comprising the former Naval Air Station Alameda in a manner that will
further the purposes of the public tidelands trust; and
Whereas, the Hornet Field is within a tidelands trust area and therefore is subject
to SB 2049; and
Whereas, uses of such trust lands under SB 2049 may be permitted for uses other
than those consistent with the public trust if the City makes certain findings; and
Whereas, the City Council, as to the Hornet Field, finds as follows: (a) there is no
immediate trust related need for the Hornet Field property; (b) the proposed use of the
property will not exceed five years and the City may terminate the use in favor of trust
uses at any time; (c) the proposed use prohibits the construction of new structures or
improvements that, as a practical matter, prevent or inhibit the property from being
converted to permissible trust uses if it becomes necessary for the property to be so
converted; and (d) the proposed use will not interfere with commerce, navigation,
fisheries, or any other existing trust uses or purposes.
Whereas, although the AP Field is not subject to SB 2049 and the proposed AP
Field Use Agreement is a 10-year term with a 10-year option, the City nevertheless must
retain the right to terminate the Use Agreement at its discretion; and
Whereas, the Hornet Field is subject to SB 2049 and the proposed Hornet Field
Use Agreement is limited to a five year term and is also subject to termination at the
discretion of the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY ALAMEDA RESOLVES
AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Recitals set forth in this Resolution are true and correct and adopted
herein by reference as findings of the City Council.
Section 2. The City Manager is authorized to enter into the Use Agreements with the
Alameda
Soccer Club for the Alameda Point Filed and the Hornet Field at Enterprise Park.
