2004-09-01 Regular ARRA MinutesAPPROVED MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE ALAMEDA REUSE AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY 2 - Cj Wednesday, September 1, 2004 The meeting convened at 5:53 p.m. with Mayor Johnson presiding. 1. ROLL CALL Present: Beverly Johnson, Mayor, City of Alameda Tony Daysog, Boardmember, City of Alameda (Member Daysog arrived at 6:15 p.m.) Frank Matarrese, Boardmember, City of Alameda Marie Gilmore, Boardmember, City of Alameda Absent: Barbara Kerr, Boardmember, City of Alameda 2. CONSENT CALENDAR 2 -A. Recommendation to approve a 20 -year lease agreement with Nelson's Marine for Building 167. Terence Cox, attorney representing four Bay Area boatyards presented an exhibit describing the proposed five year increases and the dollar totals. He did not believe that the rental rate of one -fifth of what other boatyards were paying was fair to the competition or the taxpayers in terms of losing a potential $34 million of revenue. Paul Benoit noted that the ARRA contracts with PM Realty to manage the day -to -day leasing activities at Alameda Point. David Jaber, PM Realty and Mike Dunn, who was hired with the approval of Nelson Marine, performed a market rent survey, which consisted of examining industrial properties and comps around the Bay Area. Mr. Jaber advised that when the appraisal was concluded, they met with Nelson Marine and negotiated the final terms of the lease. Member Matarrese inquired whether the $34 million figure was a valid number, and suggested that the item be continued until the validity of those numbers could be tested. He suggested bringing the item back to the Board in one month. Member Gilmore agreed with Member Matarrese's suggestion, and believed that more information on those issues would be a crucial factor in their decision. Member Matarrese would like the in -town comps to be weighted more heavily in relation to the out -of- town comps. He did not have any problem with all of Alameda's boatyards having a competitive advantage over other cities, especially if the percentage of revenues were to be factored in. Member Matarrese motioned to continue this item to the next meeting for consideration by the full ARRA Board. The motion was seconded by Member Gilmore and passed by the following voice vote: Ayes -3; Noes -0; Abstentions -0; Absent -2. 1 L `,Comdee Base Reuse& Redevp -ARRA 1\ IINUTES 2004'9 -1 -04 Regular ARRA minutes doe 2 -B.
