reimbursement.
Mayor/Chair Ezzy Ashcraft stated if the City did not cause the damage, it should not pay
for it; noted the City received a $118,200 donation from the Friends of the Library, which
will be used to fund the summer reading program.
In response to Councilmember/Commissioner Jensen's inquiry regarding the non-labor
budget and insurance policy, the Base Reuse and Economic Development Director
responded $500,000 is needed to cover the insurance policy.
Councilmember/Commissioner Jensen inquired whether the $109,383 is contingency
from the original contract.
The Base Reuse and Economic Development Director responded the amount is for the
Alameda Transportation Management Association (ATMA), which receives 40% of the
Community Facilities District (CFD) 17-1 revenues to run Transportation Demand
Management (TDM) services; stated the fund experienced higher than anticipated
revenues; staff is adjusting the amount to ensure the ATMA continues to receive the
40% allocation to pay for passes for residents and employees, as well as to help fund
the water shuttle.
In response to Councilmember/Commissioner Jensen's inquiry whether a contract was
previously approved, the Base Reuse and Economic Development Director responded
in the affirmative; stated that she was previously unsure whether the $500,000 could be
accommodated in the budget.
Mayor/Chair Ezzy Ashcraft stated a sustainable communities grant, which requires
matching funds, would be sought for long-term planning to replace the wooden bridge to
Bay Farm; if the City does not receive the grant, the funds will be used to support the
five-year update to the Vision Zero Action Plan, totaling $60,000; inquired what is
currently being done about the wooden bridge.
The Assistant City Manager responded if staff does not receive the grant, the $60,000
that would have been used for the match would be used to fund an initial feasibility
study to determine potential options and costs for the bridge; stated the grant would
look at full replacement options.
The Budget Manager noted staff will provide additional funding requests for the wooden
bridge as part of the mid-cycle budget.
Councilmember/Commissioner Boller moved adoption of the budget resolution and the
workforce changes resolution.
Vice Mayor/Commissioner Pryor seconded the motion.

Under discussion, Councilmember/Commissioner Daysog stated he did not support the
previous budget due to Officer positions being frozen at 72, when historically it has been
88; he believes the money is available to have 88 positions, therefore, why the number
is frozen at 72 is not clear to him.
Mayor/Chair Ezzy Ashcraft noted other Councilmembers have previously expressed
support for the number of officers to be increased as well.
On the call for the question, the motion carried by the following voice vote: Ayes:
Councilmembers/Commissioners Boller, Jensen, Pryor and Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft — 4.
Noes: Councilmember/Commissioner Daysog — 1.
