The Development Services Director gave a brief presentation.
Mayor Johnson stated that establishing a Film Commission is a great
idea; a number of movies have been filmed in Alameda; inquired
about commission memberships in other communities.
The Development Services Director responded the memberships have a
strong industry representation.
Mayor Johnson inquired whether half of the membership should be
from the industry and whether three marketing memberships should be
included.
The Development Services Director responded other communities'
experiences and selection process would be reviewed and provided to
the Council.
Mayor Johnson stated that the Alameda Civic Light Opera has an
apprenticeship program; connecting the apprenticeship program with
filmmakers would be good.
Councilmember Matarrese requested an analysis of other Film
Commission success rates to determine what membership works best.
Councilmember deHaan stated the City has some very unique assets;
Alameda Point is a great marketing tool; a Film Commission would be
helpful; consistency in the community is important; neighborhoods
have had short notification; consistency would come from
Commission and Planning Department guidance; positive steps are
being taken.
The Development Services Director stated that sometimes the City
receives very little notice.
Councilmember deHaan stated that movie making would spill over into
the City; the City is a friendly community.
The Development Services Director stated that the community has fun
with filming activity; opportunities are available to engage the
community.
Mayor Johnson stated that the closure of the High Street Bridge for
filming was handled well; there was little traffic; people were
cooperative; no complaints were received since the filming; filming
can be accommodated, if handled properly.
Kappi Hommert, Alameda, submitted handout; stated that she helped
to start the Oakland Film Commission; Alameda has not been able to

take advantage of the benefits associated with having a Film
Commission; she is delighted that something is being done; she
supports the recommendation; a Film Commission would be very
effective.
Irma Garcia - Sinclair, Alameda, stated that she would like to be
part of the Film Commission; noted a small city does not really
need a Film Commission; the City Council should be aware of what is
happening within the community.
Mayor Johnson stated a Film Commission should hopefully pay for
itself and create other benefits for the community.
Ms. Garcia - Sinclair inquired whether $9,000 was for website
development.
Mayor Johnson responded $9,000 was for initial marketing materials
and the website.
Ms. Garcia- Sinclair encouraged hiring local residents for
background acting.
Liam Gray, Alameda, stated that he supports a Film Commission; the
Film Commission could dovetail on San Francisco's efforts to be a
digital Hollywood; the bridges, beach, and quaint streets are
perfect locations for productions.
Mayor Johnson directed the City Clerk to send applications to the
speakers.
Councilmember deHaan moved to approve the staff recommendation and
adoption of the resolution.
Vice Mayor Gilmore seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous
voice vote - 5.
(05- ) Transmittal of Task Force report concerning strategies to
prevent mass termination of tenancies from large apartment
complexes and to create additional affordable housing
opportunities.
Former Acting City Manager Bill Norton provided an overview of the
Task Force Report.
Mayor Johnson stated changing codes would encourage more
condominium conversion; subsidies for affordable units need to be
paid; inquired whether the units could be retained as rental units.
Regular Meeting
Alameda City Council
September 20, 2005
7
Mr. Norton responded that currently the condominium conversion
ordinance allows the Planning Board to make decisions on what is
required; there are costs to improve properties; large complex
units are selling for $150,000 to $200,000 per unit; condominiums
are going for double the amount or more; property owners have some
room to make improvements, provide for inclusionary housing, and
still make a profit; the report states that discretion would be at
either the Planning Board or Council level when economically
feasible.
Councilmember Daysog inquired whether the Council was being
requested to adopt concepts such as changing rules to allow for
condominium conversion or whether more analysis would be provided;
stated reviewing the analysis first might be better.
Mr. Norton responded that each property would be different; some
buildings are pre -1900, and the conversion and inclusionary housing
would be prohibitive; buildings constructed later meet a lot of the
current codes but still would command a significant value if
converted to condominiums; generalizing each piece of property is
difficult; the Council could direct staff to provide additional
review of the concept; more time would be needed to get more detail
on condominium conversion upgrades and what the condominiums would
command if sold; minimum lot size, setback requirements, parking,
and some code compliance issues would be somewhat compromised;
staff would be relied upon to decide whether a specific case made
sense.
Councilmember Daysog stated that he would like a deeper level of
analysis; profile case studies should be done before approval of
the condominium conversion.
Vice Mayor Gilmore stated that the Council gave the Task Force two
specific charges: 1) review how to prevent mass evictions, and 2)
review more affordable housing opportunities; the original
timeframe was to return with an answer to the Council in 90 days;
the Task Force did not return in 90 days because both charges were
very large; a very broad brush set of recommendations is presented;
the intent is to receive some Council feedback indicating whether
there is an interest in pursuing condominium conversions; staff
would provide an analysis and bring the information back to the
Council, if there is an interest.
Councilmember deHaan stated there is a real concern with health and
safety compliance and code enforcement; there are some concerns
with landlords who are not properly managing property; inquired
whether there are other [code] issues on the horizon.
Regular Meeting
Alameda City Council
September 20, 2005

Mr. Norton responded that there is concern that the same situation
could happen at the same property in 5 or 10 years with the new
property owner; there are buildings in Alameda that are beautifully
maintained and others are not; the Task Force felt there should be
a more proactive approach when two or three complaints are
received; the Code currently allows people to complain to the City;
the City determines whether the property is in compliance; the Code
does not allow the City to go onto private property and force an
inspection unless there is probable cause.
Councilmember deHaan inquired whether there was any evidence that a
Harbor Island Apartment type situation exists.
Mr. Norton responded that he was not aware of any large complex
problems; stated the Acting Planning and Building Director would
know better.
Councilmember deHaan stated that there was critism that the City
was the last to know about the Harbor Island Apartment situation;
the City needs to be the first to know about problems so that
action can be taken.
The Acting Planning and Building Director stated that there are no
major complexes that have anywhere near the number of complaints as
the Harbor Island Apartments.
Councilmember deHaan stated that ensuring the situation does not
reoccur is important; mechanisms addressed tonight would provide
reassurance.
Mayor Johnson opened the public portion of the Hearing.
Speakers: Steve Edrington, Rental Housing Association of Northern
Alameda (submitted handout); *Lorraine Lilley, Housing Task Force

Mr. Norton stated that Mr. Yoshi provided him with a copy of a
Minority Report tonight and has requested to speak; some Task Force
members wanted to present recommendations that are not part of the
report; there are three recommendations that could be summarized by
Mr. Yoshi.
Mr. Yoshi presented the Minority Report.
Councilmember Matarrese stated that the dust should not gather on
the work of the Task Force; he appreciates everyone's work; a
meeting with Kennedy Wilson is a good idea to ascertain intentions
and to work towards a goal of restoring the fabric of the
community; the Harbor Island Apartments are unique because of the
size; the thrust of preventing mass eviction has the most impact on
said complex; the advantages or disadvantages of controlling the
management by placing the property in a redevelopment area should
be reviewed; he supports going after code enforcement, fair housing
laws, and tenant - landlord laws; federal laws on fair housing and
anti - discrimination need to be enforced; the City needs to send a
message that there will be maximum enforcement of the laws; he is
disappointed with Legal Aid and Sentinel Fair Housing for not
stepping up to help the City advocate for the tenants; Legal Aid
sent lawyers to a City Council meeting advising there was no money
to help people file claims against the Fifteen Group; he would like
more time to review the Minority Report; the affordable housing
goal and the relationship of condominium presence or absence is
peripheral and at odds with the notion of preventing further mass
evictions; reviewing an alternate condominium conversion ordinance
is not appropriate at this time; reviewing the possibility of
affordable housing for home ownership is in the back drop of
reviewing what eventually will be at Alameda Point; he would not
want to play into any intention that Kennedy Wilson might have to
convert the units into condominiums; the City and Task Force should
examine the matter; a combination of affordable ownership housing
and rental housing within the complex.might be possible; the matter
would require a very detailed and specific discussion.
Mayor Johnson stated condominium conversion should be reviewed; the
impacts are unknown; reviewing the matter allows further
evaluation; condominium conversion is a way to achieve affordable
housing, which is a shortage in Alameda; many people prefer to buy
a house and others prefer renting; both should be accommodated; a
limit can be placed to ensure too many units are not removed from
the rental stock; the Task Force Report is for discussion and
information; inquired whether the committee voted on the Task Force
Report.
Vice Mayor Gilmore responded the recommendations in the report were

arrived at through consensus.
Mr. Norton stated ideas were presented at each meeting; the ideas
were incorporated in the report if the majority of the Task Force
agreed; the Task Force had to weigh the value of more changes
versus providing a report to the Council within a certain period of
time; the Minority Report ideas were not presented to the Task
Force and could not be incorporated in the report.
Mr. Yoshi stated that there was discussion on whether there would
be a Minority Report because there was not a consensus.
Councilmember deHaan stated that one of the missions of the Task
Force was to develop potential strategies that may be considered in
the areas of code compliance, legislation, education, and new
initiatives to provide affordable housing; the Task Force covered
the issues well; background information is important, particularly
in talks with Kennedy Wilson; the Task Force provided what was
requested.
Councilmember Daysog thanked Vice Mayor Gilmore for representing
the Council on the Task Force as well as the Task Force Committee
members; stated the bullet points regarding the health and safety
compliance and code enforcement are good; he questions whether
bullet point #1 [Increased Code Compliance and Enforcement
activities] was meant to be open -ended or was meant to be targeted
towards instances as they arise on a case -by -case basis; requested
clarification; stated having rules in place and enforced at either
the State or local level is important; someone needs to be held
accountable for the rules; questioned what needs to be done to make
the Council more accountable to ensure that a Harbor Island
Apartment situation does not occur again; stated housing issues in
Alameda are broken off into different areas such as the Rent Review
Advisory Committee, Housing Authority, Alameda Development
Corporation, and Code Compliance; bringing the areas together under
one roof to ensure that issues raised by one area are not
overlooked by others should be reviewed; the Council should be more
involved; improving the system of accountability is necessary.
Mayor Johnson stated that having the Council better informed has
been the emphasis in all areas; the Council needs to be involved in
establishing any Task Force in the future; any Task Force formed
should report back to the Council; all information needs to come
together at a central location.
Vice Mayor Gilmore stated that she concurs with Councilmember
Matarrese's total disappointment in Legal Aid and Sentinel Fair
Housing; nothing was done to help the tenants; moral outrage does

not get the attention of a morally bankrupt property owner; the
City tried to get the former property owner's attention by filing a
lawsuit; some of the tenants could have filed lawsuits if Legal Aid
stepped up earlier to help the tenants and provide support.
Councilmember Matarrese inquired whether the Task Force was
discharged; recommended that a meeting be scheduled with Kennedy
Wilson to provide background information, advise what the Council
wants, and to determine what Kennedy Wilson wants; requested that
staff outline a plan for how to put all the pieces together with
multiple City department involvement; directed the City Manager to
put together a plan on how to enforce the Code, as well as State
and federal laws; stated a conscious direction should be given to
all players to provide a warning light before a melt down; he would
like to review the Minority Report before making any condominium
conversion comments.
Mayor Johnson inquired how tenants know where to complain about
property conditions.
The Acting Planning and Building Director responded there are
complaint forms on the website; departments refer complaints to
Code Enforcement; outreach is not currently available.
The City Manager stated that people coming to the counter are
referred to the Planning and Building Department; changes will be
incorporated on the forms to ensure that people are not discouraged
to report a complaint.
Mayor Johnson stated that the Council needs to review
prioritization of code compliance cases to ensure that resources
are correctly targeted; conditions at the Harbor Island Apartments
were raised by the Council for the past three years.
Vice Mayor Gilmore stated that Kennedy Wilson is somewhat aware of
the Harbor Island Apartment history; the City and either the Task
Force or the Harbor Island Tenant Association members should meet
with Kennedy Wilson sooner rather than later; Kennedy Wilson would
be more conscious in the beginning to put their best foot forward
and would be more amiable to meet with members of the community;
scheduling a meeting with Kennedy Wilson should be a priority.
Councilmember Matarrese concurred with Vice Mayor Gilmore; stated
Kennedy Wilson should be advised about the City's expectations.
Councilmember deHaan stated that quite a few recommendations have
been made; many of the recommendations should be adopted;
recommendations are not major policy decisions; he is concerned
Regular Meeting
Alameda City Council
September 20, 2005
12
that accepting some of the recommendations would be considered a
cure all; safeguards should be put in place to ensure that
apologies to the community will not be necessary because the boat
was missed; recommendations are a small example of the direction
that has been taken to ensure that matters will be addressed in a
proactive manner.
Councilmember Daysog stated improving the system for Council
accountability should be reviewed; Councilmembers can learn a lot
from the Hurricane Katrina disaster; various levels of government
were involved, but the accountability rested with the President for
what went wrong; Kennedy Wilson's purchase of the property
represents a substantial investment in a part of the City that is
being redeveloped; Kennedy Wilson communications seem to be open
and receptive; he cautions moving the project sideways; the
condominium• conversion ordinance is not ready to be modified, but
should be reviewed.
Mayor Johnson stated the direction recommendation could be to
request a study of the condominium conversion ordinance to examine
different methods.
The City Manager summarized Council's directions: 1) set up a
meeting with Kennedy Wilson and Task Force representatives to
discuss the City's expectations, and how to avoid a similar
situation, 2) outline internal operations to ensure that the pieces
are put together to inform each other that all enforcement issues
are being communicated across department lines, and 3) study the
potential impacts of a condominium conversion ordinance.
Councilmember Matarrese stated that he would like to include
revising fine violations for boarded up buildings to a per -unit
basis with prosecution to the fullest extent.

Memorandum
TO: Honorable Mayor and
Councilmembers
FROM: Debra Kurita
City Manager
DATE: September 20, 2005
RE: Recommendation to Approve Issuance of the Request for Proposals for a
Materials Security and Inventory System for the Alameda Free Library
Background
The Library has increased the size and scope of its collections over the past few years. Security
of those materials is important. Currently, the Library uses a magnetic strip security system
which is an effective but aging technology. The magnetic strip system is suitable for print
materials, however, it is less suitable for media, such as DVDs and audio books. To meet current
needs, and to remain on schedule for the new Main Library, it is necessary for the City to issue a
Request for Proposals (RFP), which is on file in the City Clerk's Office, for the procurement of a
modern materials security and inventory system.
Discussion /Analysis
There are two types of materials security systems, magnetic strips and Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID). RFID is the latest technology to be used in library theft detection systems.
Unlike the magnetic strip security system which is currently in place, RFID -based systems
combine security with more efficient tracking of materials throughout the library, including
easier and faster check -out and check -in, inventorying, and materials handling. The advantages
of an RFID system outweigh the limitations of a magnetic strip security system:
• RFID tags are much smaller than magnetic strips, can be placed almost anywhere on an
item, and are designed for use on delicate media items as well as print materials. When
an RFID item is checked -out the tag is "turned off," and the item can pass out the gates
without triggering the alarm. While the item is out of the building there is no mechanism
for the tag to be read. Security for items is automatically turned back on when materials
are checked -in.
• RFID technology can be used to inventory the collections. A staff member needs only to
walk along the shelves with a hand -held scanner and upload to the system to effectively
inventory the collection. The same hand -held device can be used to check the shelves for
missing items or to put items in correct shelf order. This function will improve the care
and maintenance of the collections. Staff will have more time to assist library customers.
Dedicated to Excellence, Committed to Service
Report 4-C
10-4-05
Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers Page 2
September 20, 2005
• RFID technology is a more efficient, user - friendly, and ergonomic method of handling
library materials. There is no need to stack books in one direction, flip entire stacks of
materials, or slide materials in a specific direction before checking out. The current
"Express Check" machine at the Interim Main Library handles 30% of the check -outs
with specific directions for turning and sliding materials. Less specific handling of
materials makes the use of a self - service check -out machine easier for library customers.
Less physical handling of materials also reduces the risk of tendonitis and repetitive
stress syndrome.
• The current security system has aged to the point where the vendor can no longer service
the gates at the Interim Main Library. New gates will have to be purchased. There is no
materials security at the two branch libraries. Although the initial expense of purchasing
and installing an RFID system is higher than replacing one set of security gates, this
proposal for an RFID system would include all three libraries. Installing an RFID system,
with its increased capabilities, will be more cost effective in the long term than
maintaining the current magnetic system.
Municipal Code /Policy Document Cross Reference
This action does not affect the Alameda Municipal Code.
Budget Consideration /Financial Impact
The cost for a Materials Security and Inventory System using Radio Frequency Identification
technology is estimated to be $300,000, which includes equipment, item tags, installation,
testing, training, shipping and applicable taxes. The purchase will be drawn from Fund 317, a
reserved fund balance for Library technology.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve the issuance of the Request for Proposals for a
Materials Security and Inventory System for the Alameda Free Library.
