Recommendation to Adopt Resolution Approving the Transfer of the Electrical Utility Distribution System located at Alameda Point to the City of Alameda. There were no public speakers. The public hearing was closed for Authority discussion. 1 Member DeWitt asked how would money be saved by transferring the Electrical Utility Distribution System? Doug Yount, Development Services Director responded that it is a savings to the ARRA budget, which currently pays $40,000 a month directly to Alameda Power and Telecom (AP &T) for these services. AP &T would carry these costs through their rate structure so the ARRA will no longer be responsible for making those payments. Member Kerr stated that if AP &T owns this utility system, they would be better able to plan and take care of it more efficiently. Doug Yount stated that it makes sense that the entire electrical distribution system be controlled by AP &T and not have it split separately. Member DeWitt moved approval of the recommendation. The motion was seconded by Member Kerr and passed by the following voice vote: Ayes -4; Noes - 0; Abstentions -0. 4. ORAL REPORTS 4 -A. Oral report from APAC.
