Donald Dowdell, 2510 Santa Clara, Manager, Pacific Gas & Electric (P.G.& E.), stated P.G.& E. is replacing forty miles of gas main in the City and connective services, has aggressive schedule, is working in conjunction with Public Works resurfacing project in a cooperative relationship; and the area of Mr. Stewart's problem will be aggressively corrected this week. Councilmember Haugner inquired if City staff responded, to which the Public Works Director replied it has. The Council, by unanimous voice vote, accepted the communication on the floor. 88-042 From Joel Frankel, 1301 High Street, concerning Use/Variance Permit noticing requirement.

Councilmember Haugner seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. q 18 88-043 From Joseph M. Sullivan, 3221 Liberty Avenue, regarding the Fire Chief's request for additional Fire Fighters. Mr. Sullivan stated he would like Council to reconsider the need of the Fire Department and the new and any duties it has; and urged Council support the request of Fire Chief for additional fire fighters. Councilmember Monsef stated he is not against providing required manpower to the Fire Department, but he wants to see the study completed and when it is, then adequate manpower will be given to the Fire Department, and wants to know the results of the study concerning the number of chiefs needed. John Barni, Sr., 1380 East Shore Drive, urged Council to support requests of the Fire Chief, stated the ambulance staffing takes from the fire fighting; the request of the Fire Chief may be too low; and if there is an abundance of administrators, over a period of time, that will take care of itself. Shirley Cummins, 549 Santa Clara Avenue, stated that the reason for not having so many fires over the last few years might be due to the inspections that have been made by the Fire Department personnel; that the chiefs also work; that all sides of the issues should be considered and the work of the fire fighters observed. John Ravet, 1816 St. Charles Street, stated the fire fighters are doing a good job; questions if people hired to do studies are qualified; stated there have been 10 fires in the last four years in his small 4 block section of the City; stated he has heard that there were $915,000 worth of losses last year; there may at some point be streets burning as Park Street once did; believes City needs the chiefs plus others; and that the current chiefs are shift chiefs and not all on at the same time. Councilmember Thomas noted there was a study done in 1979 by an ad hoc committee which stated the City needed 95 to 96 people on fire suppression and also established the Operational Fire Chief position; believes Council must wait for the study; added that if people are off on leave, or on Workers' Compensation, it requires overtime or extras or putting a piece of equipment out of service, hopes the study will address these problems and resolve the rest of Council's concerns, and agreed four fire fighters are needed. Councilmember Camicia commented that in the studies Council saw, it was indicated that fires are down 50% over the last ten years in this City, that the Council added two fire fighters, and a study is being done to determine how to approach the department in the future and two fire fighters, or four, or none, may be hired, but a fortune may be saved by having the study. Councilmember Camicia made a motion to accept the communication. Councilmember Haugner seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. JAN I I) President Corica suggested Items numbered 5, 6, and 7, (88-044, 88-045, and 88-046 be taken together as they address the same issue. Councilmember Camicia so moved, Councilmember Haugner seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 88-044 From Margaret Kallman, 1900 Harvard Drive, requesting the contract with Hyde and Associates be reinstated. (Discussion under 88-046) 88-045 From James Hackbarth, Co-Chairperson, C.E.A.S.E., P.O. Box 1978, San Leandro, suggesting Council re-evaluate the termination of Hyde and Associates' contract. (Discussion under 88-046) 88-046 From Jo Ann Eichten-Alioto, 3025 Thompson Avenue, regarding Port of Oakland and Washington lobbyists. The following relates to paragraphs 88-044, 88-045, and 88-046. Margaret Kallman, 1900 Harvard Drive, requested Council reinstate the contract with the Washington lobbyist, believes expertise is needed for the kinds of complex problems the City cannot avoid; the problem that concerns her most is airport noise; and believes the negotiations with the airport are at a stalemate and input is needed on how to approach the airport. President Corica commented that a letter from Congressman Pete Stark addressed the matter of the airport, that he doesn't believe it is necessary to go through a lobbyist as Council can deal directly through Congressman Stark and his office in Washington. President Corica stated Senators Cranston, Wilson and others can be contacted; and that Councilmembers and Mayor will be listened to in Washington. Kallman stated she believes the cross-airport road might be another bargaining chip. Councilmember Camicia stated he was in Washington in November, met with staffers of Aviation Subcommittee; was informed that if a letter was sent from Council to the Subcommittee Chairman Norman Mineta , the subcommittee would follow through and attempt to apply some pressure to the Federal Aviation Authority; that there is no question that a lobbyist can be more effective than Council 3000 miles away and $750 per month is not too much to pay to get this moving. President Corica suggested the Assistant City Manager draft a letter, and suggested that Mrs. Kallman [at her request] be allowed to participate. J4119 1G'i6 Councilmember Haugner stated she appreciated the letter; and the only effective support is a lobbyist with Council., William Kane, 2615 Bayview Drive, noted his aviation background; stated he believes there is a complaint problem but does not know if a noise problem is established; requested Council stay with original decision not to fund the lobbyist, and offered his assistance in trying to solve the noise complaint problem. James Hackbarth, 3345 Washington Court, stated he is concerned more effort is not being put forth by Council, gave some figures in his letter regarding expense of going to Washington; would like to see somethng done about the safety issue; is in the noise abatement meetings and it is conversation without action. Councilmember Camicia commented there should be consideration of rehiring the lobbyist; doesn't know if 100% can be counted on from representative Pete Stark. President Corica suggested attaching the letter from Congressman Stark regarding his plan to introduce a bill to alleviate noise problem, and attach it to a letter to other representatives in Washington. Councilmember Camicia stated it is a good idea but they are not on the aviation subcommittee and that's where the lobbyist can help; Council can write letters but need someone there to help. Councilmember Haugner stated senators have a lot of other people and issues to take care of, and if it has to be handled at the federal level, someone should be back in Washington and it is money well spent. Councilmember Camicia noted the spending of other cities on lobbyists. Councilmember Thomas stated achievements of lobbyist [Floyd Hyde] were not significant; believes Assistant City Manager did exceptional job and has expertise in this area; if, after efforts are made and Council cannot handle this, a lobbyist should be obtained who specializes in it, or other lobbyists should be considered instead of just this one. President Corica agreed. Councilmember Camicia stated there are lobbyists that specialize in municipal problems of a broad range, and those who specialize in businesses and associations who lobby for airplane manufacturers and airports; there can be a review; and suggested there be a deadline of perhaps two months and then reconsideration of the issue. Councilmember Monsef stated an issue can always be brought back to Council; Council has made a decision, should stick to it and give it a try. JAN i 9 Councilmember Camicia agreed as long as there is some progress. Council, by unanimous voice vote, accepted the communication on the floor. HEARINGS 88 -047 Consideration of proposed Negative Declaration (IS- 87 -11) and proposed Zoning Text Amendment, ZA -87 -5, which would amend Article 4C and related sections of Chapter 1, Title XI (Zoning) relating to off - street parking regulations. President Corica explained the procedure of the hearing. The Planning Director explained the subject of the hearing. The public portion of the hearing was opened. On the call for proponents, there were none. On the call for opponents, there were none. The public portion of the hearing was closed. Councilmember Camicia moved the recommendation. Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. President Corica suggested consideration of the related ordinance at this time and it was agreed by consensus of Council. 88 -048 Ordinance No. N.S. "Amending Article 4C and related sections of Chapter 1, Title XI of the Alameda Municipal Code, relating to off - street parking regulations." Councilmember Haugner made a motion to introduce the ordinance. Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 88 -049 From City Manager regarding the Legislative Program and priorities for fiscal year 1987 -88. Councilmember Haugner mentioned it is good to be kept up -to -date regarding state and federal government, and made a motion to accept the report and recommendation. Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 88 -050 From Finance Director on capital financing'alternatives. Gertrude Woods, 1247 Sherman Street, President, Board of Trustees, Alameda Free Library, suggested the library funding matter could be placed on the ballot; stated it appears Council must decide on a site for the library before citizens can be asked to pass a funding bill; that the report is excellent; and asked how Council and the J019 191 22 Board can work together to provide a new library for Alameda. In response to Councilmember Camicia, the Finance Director stated that, assuming voter approval on the project, the least expensive way to go is a general obligation bond, which requires two-thirds voter approval. Councilmember Camicia stated the next step may be to ask for a report re-stating what the locations are, make the decision and put the matter on the ballot. President Corica agreed that a decision must be made. Following discussion during which it was agreed the funding could not be placed on the ballot by June, and discussion on the library sites, Councilmember Monsef commented that he believed previous Council had, at one point, made a statement of policy to have a new library, and agreed Council should meet and make some decision. Councilmember Haugner moved there be a Work Session on the library at which time Council shall discuss only sites for the library, and shortly after that, come back and make a decision. Councilmember Camicia seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 88-051 From Public Works Director recommending acceptance of the improvements and release of bond for Tract 4402 (Harbor Bay Isle Village III, Lantern Bay). Councilmember Camicia made a motion to accept the report and recommendation. Councilmember Haugner seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 88-052 From Public Works Director recommending acceptance of the subdivision improvements and release of bonds for Tract 4513 (Woodbridge) and Tract 4122 (Pelican Bay) (Harbor Bay Isle). Councilmember Camicia made a motion to accept the report and recommendation. Councilmember Haugner seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 88-053 From Public Works Director on status of street sweeping parking controls. Frances Hoeschen, 2137 San Antonio, stated she believes the signs are unfair because she cannot park in front of her house for four hours every Tuesday, while people across the street or around the block may park; and that she received a ticket. President Corica stated if the people in the area don't want the sign there it can be removed. The Public Works Director explained that it was done by the City Council based on complaints of neighbors requesting that signs go up, and also based on areas where street sweepers found they could not get into the curbs; all the areas were reviewed by JAN 19 Council and adopted by ordinance, so it can be changed, and there will be another ordinance coming to Council which adds additional mileage to the street sweepers'program. Mrs. Hoeschen stated one day out of the month might be alright but not four days. Councilmember Monsef stated the area where he lives has no signs, to which the Public Works Director responded that all of the areas that the Council has approved for parking controls have signs, but some areas are not yet on an ordinance for signage; and that can be done by request and Council's approval. Following a brief discussion, Councilmember Monsef stated he would like staff to submit a report to the Council regarding what the crew believes are additional areas to be added. The Public Works Director noted that it is intended that it will be brought before Council at the March 16th meeting. Councilmember Haugner inquired if there is anything Council can do for Mrs. Hoeschen, to which the Public Works Director replied that there have been complaints by residents in that area that the parking controls have not been enforced, the police responded to those complaints; and the street sweepers make requests also. Councilmember Thomas inquired if there could be a check to see how many residents requested the signage in the area; if the residents could be polled to see how many do or do not want the signage, and how costly that would be. Councilmember Monsef made a notion to accept the recommendation and requested staff look into the questions Councilmember Thomas raised. Councilmember Thomas seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 88-054 From Public Works Director on status of Sanitary Sewer Fund Revenue Program. Councilmember Monsef made a motion to accept the recommendation. Councilmember Haugner seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. RESOLUTIONS 88-055 Resolution No. 11382 "Expressing appreciation to United States Senator Alan Cranston." Adopted. Councilmember Haugner made a motion to accept the resolution. Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion, and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 88-056 Resolution No. 11383 "Expressing appreciation to United States Senator Pete Wilson." Adopted. Councilmember Thomas made a motion to accept the resolution and JAN 9 Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion. Councilmember Camicia requested staff to place on the agenda, a resolution for Congressman Pete Stark. The motion was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 88-057 Resolution No. 11384 "Approving the application and the project agreement for historic preservation grants-in-aid funds for 1988 under the Certified Local Government Grant Program." Adopted. Councilmember Monsef made a motion to adopt the resolution. Councilmember Haugner seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 88-058 Resolution No. 11385 "Authorizing appropriation of $50,000 from the construction improvement tax proceeds to finance the developer's share for the Cross Airport Roadway." Adopted. Stephen Brimhall, 1141 Harbor Bay Parkway, Executive Vice-President of Doric Development, stated the issue is more properly stated in the report that it is "to appropriate $50,000 to fund the traffic analysis, initial design, and preliminary cost estimate preparatory to forming the Joint Powers Agency for the Cross Airport Roadway project."; the money proposed is from a special fund into which Harbor Bay put almost $1,000,000 in the past year; money was paid by Harbor Bay, reflected in total cost and passed to homebuyers and business park tenants; long-term beneficiaries are homeowners on Bay Farm Island, Harbor Bay Project, tenants in the business park, the residents of East Alameda, realizes the Roadway is needed and requested approval so the project can get started. James Lattie, 16 Nottingham Court, commented that a speaker earlier in the evening spoke of using the Airport Cross Roadway as a bargaining chip; he lives on Bay Farm Island (BFI), is not particularly bothered by the airport noise as he is by the access to BFI, has not seen access improved in his twenty years as resident; and would like to see the Cross Airport Roadway built. Margaret Kallman, 1900 Harvard Drive, stated the Airport probably would like to get that built and are not being cooperative. Bill Withrow, 133 Cumberland Way, President, Homeowners Association of Harbor Bay Isle, stated residents are concerned about traffic; views proposed Roadway as a relief valve; the diversion of this traffic should alleviate congestion; and requested Council approve the resolution authorizing the $50,000, and get the project underway as soon as possible. Rosalie McPherson, 1128 Marianas Lane, Alameda Alliance of Homeowners, stated that the Alliance is in opposition to the $50,000 being granted to this project; is opposed to any of the half cent sales tax money for the Cross Airport Roadway; there is no indication it will benefit the City of Alameda; Alliance also opposes construction improvement tax being used for it; the fund was set up for Patton Way and resurfacing additional streets; the JAN 19 1988 fund was not set up for the purpose proposed tonight; and belongs to the City for City purposes. Councilmember Thomas stated she agrees the purpose was for the overruns to pay for Patton Way; there are still costs; would rather the costs were paid before spending money for Harbor Bay Isle. Councilmember Monsef inquired what the scope of the traffic analysis is, to which the Public Works Director replied that it will include how much of the traffic will be coming to Alameda and how much to the airport, and until that is determined, there is no way of knowing what the City's share is; and it will also say what the destination is of the traffic to Alameda, whether it is the business park or the residents. Councilmember Monsef inquired if any impact study has been done to which the Public Works Director responded that there have been some preliminary studies that have not been updated and that is what needs to be done as the development of the business park and the intent of the airport has changed. Councilmember Monsef stated it has not yet been decided if the roadway is good or bad, or whether it is wanted or not. The Public Works Director noted that it is necessary to know what the alignment is and that the matter had been voted on. Councilmember Camicia noted that Measure B passed by better than 60% on Bay Farm Island and is not sure Council has an option. President Corica stated it is a funded project under Measure B but he has a problem with the $50,000. He stated he believes the benefactors are HBI, and hopefully BFI, and hopes HBI will pick up the $50,000. Mr. Brimhall stated he thinks it is unrealistic and unfair, and much tax is generated for the City by the business park. Councilmember Thomas stated she does not believe it is beneficial to spend taxpayers' money to benefit one entity. President Corica stated he would like to at least come to a state of compromise that the City pay half the amount and HBI pay half so that there will be a 25/25 split. Mr. Brimhall stated that would be accepted although he still believes it is unfair, but the project needs to progress. Councilmember Monsef stated he does not have all the facts to support it at this time. Councilmember Haugner made a motion to adopt the resolution as it stands. The motion failed for lack of a second. Councilmember Camicia made a motion to adopt the resolution with a split of $25,000/25,000 between the City and Harbor Bay Isle. Councilmember Haugner seconded the motion. Councilmember Thomas stated she believes Council needs to find out how the City is going to benefit, if it is, and by how much percentage, does not want to give up the bargaining chip with the Port at this time, and therefore will vote no. President Corica stated he had inquired if Harbor Bay Isle would provide $25,000, they agreed, and he would therefore have to go along with it, and would be voting for it. The motion was carried by the following roll call vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Camicia, Haugner, and President Corica - 3. Noes: Councilmembers Monsef and Thomas - 2. Absent: None. The City Attorney commented that the three items on the agenda regarding the "Normandy" development Parcel Maps (See 88-066, 88-067, and 88-068) had been scheduled for executive session at 7:10 and suggested that Council finish the agenda, adjourn to executive session, return and discuss these three items. James B. Davis, 1134 Ballena. Boulevard, attorney for Harbor Bay Isle, urged Council to approve the Parcel Maps tonight as Council has no grounds for Appeal. Following brief discussion by Council, it was agreed by consensus of Council that the three resolutions would be considered following the Closed Session to consider the Appeal. 88-059 Resolution No. "Authorizing renewal of existing landscape maintenance contract with Cagwin & Dorward, landscape engineering contractors, with certain modifications, and authorizing execution of renewal of agreement." Councilmember Thomas stated the item was removed because of a complaint that several homeowners' associations from Harbor Bay discontinued services with this company because it is not satisfactory; suggested perhaps it should be looked into before going ahead and inquired if their concerns had been checked out by the Recreation & Parks Director. The Recreation and Parks Director said he has not as he was not aware of those concerns; stated they could go ahead on a month to month basis with the contract until he could check out those concerns, and return to Council; the services provided for the City in the past have been more than satisfactory, and their costs have increased very little over the past five or six years. Councilmember Thomas made a motion that the Recreation and Parks Director be permitted to go month to month with this company while the matter is checked out, and come back to Council with a report. Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. AN 1 9 INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCES 88 -060 Ordinance No. N.S.

(Adjourned at the January 14, 1988 Special Council Meeting to January 19, 1988, Regular Council Meeting.) President Corica suggested the matter be put over to the next Council meeting. It was agreed by consensus of Council to do so. President Corica added that, whatever is done, there will be retroactive payment. NEW BUSINESS 88 -063 President Corica stated it would be appropriate to recommend an Interim City Manager and suggested the name of Rob Wonder, the Assistant City Manager, for Interim City Manager, and that Council begin advertising for a new City Manager. Councilmember Thomas so moved. Following discussion on procedures, Councilmember Monsef suggested the Assistant City Manager be requested to put together a guideline, have Council review and possibly adjust it, and do the best possible in selecting a new City Manager to work with all of Council; and perhaps the Assistant City Manager could investigate the lead time in placing magazine advertisements. Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. President Corica commented that he believed Mr. Wonder would do an excellent job as Interim City Manager. Councilmember Camicia inquired if the Assistant City Manager would be considered for City Manager, to which President Corica and JAN 19 1988 Councilmember Thomas responded affirmatively, and President Corica added that Council will need to address the fact that, because the Assistant City Manager will be assuming more responsibilities, he should receive more compensation.
