3. ACTION ITEMS
3 -A. Request for ARRA Approval of Assignment of sublease of Buildings 774, 800, 804,
CPO 14, CPO 23 and CPO 24 containing twelve dwelling units from United Indian
Nations CDC to Alameda Point Collaborative.
There were no public speakers.
The public hearing was closed for Authority discussion.
Debbie Potter, Base Reuse and Redevelopment Manager stated that United Indian
Nations (UIN) CDC had requested that its sublease for 12 units be assigned to the
Alameda Point Collaborative (APC). The sublease contains a procedure for
assignment and UIN and APC submitted the required information. Staff has reviewed
the information and determined the APC meets the requirements of an assignment
pursuant to the sublease and that staff therefore recommends approval of the
assignment.
Member Johnson moved approval of the recommendation. The motion was
seconded by Member DeWitt and passed by the following voice vote: Ayes -4;
Noes -0; Abstentions -0.
3 -B. Request for the ARRA Governing Board to Transfer Authority to Enter Into an
Interim Lease for a Nursery and Community Garden from University Avenue Housing
to the Alameda Point Collaborative.
There were no public speakers.
The public hearing was closed for Authority discussion.
Debbie Potter, Base Reuse and Redevelopment Manager stated that University
Avenue Housing (UA) has requested that its authority to enter into a sublease for the
Community Garden and Commercial Nursery be assigned to Alameda Point
Collaborative. UA and APC recognize that the assignment of authority triggers the
one -time substitution clause. UA has indicated that its core mission is to develop and
operate affordable housing and that APC is the more appropriate organization to
oversee the Community Garden and Nursery. Therefore, staff recommends approval of
the requested transfer of interest in the sublease.
Member DeWitt asked if various sites had already been considered prior to the
selection of Parcel 99?
Terri Highsmith, Assistant City Attorney responded that the site of the Community
Garden and Nursery has not changed. The original sublease was not fully executed by
UA. They are requesting the ARRA allow them to assign their sublease agreement to
Alameda Point Collaborative and enter into an interim sublease agreement.
Member Kerr stated that the Nursery should be located in a site other than Parcel 99,
which could potentially be designated for market rate housing.
Mayor Appezzato responded that the ARRA in the past has already approved the
existing site and that the only action they are expected to take, is to approve the
transfer of the lease from University Avenue Housing to Alameda Point Collaborative.
Member Johnson asked if further research could be done for potential other sites.
Attorney Highsmith responded that staff had already looked at seven (7) other sites and
the ARRA Board has previously approved the existing site location for the Nursery.
Debbie Potter stated that the ARRA could approve the lease assignment now,
conditioned upon APCP's concurrence in the location of the Community Garden and
2
Nursery.
Member Johnson moved approval of the recommendation, pending approval from
Alameda Point Community Partners agreement to the site location of the
Community Garden and Nursery. The motion was seconded by Member DeWitt
and passed by the following voice vote: Ayes -3; Noes -1; Abstentions -0.
