RETURN TO REGULAR AGENDA
WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
87 -871 From Michael Rawson, Legal Aid Society of Alameda County,
4450 East 14th Street, Oakland, regarding negotiations between the
Buena Vista Apartments tenants and the Gersten Company.
Clayton Guyton, 457 Buena Vista, #305, thanked the City of Alameda,
and Gersten Company for going to Washington D.C., to secure
vouchers for Buena Vista Apartments, and requested Council urge
Gersten Company to increase rent gradually so that tenants without
vouchers can have an opportunity to arrange to adjust to rent
increases.
Delores Martin, Buena Vista Apartments, agreed with the previous
speaker and requested more time before the rent increases.
Heriberto Hernandez, Buena Vista Apartments, stated it is a serious
problem to have three large rent increases in one year, the
apartments are in disrepair, i.e., the elevators have not worked
for approximately 18 months, the people cannot afford the rent
increases, and rent control would be helpful.
Cesilio Guzman, 457 Buena Vista, expressed his concerns that the
buildings need repair and is concerned about management, noting
delivery of lease documents to his apartment late at night.
Susan Davis, Buena Vista Apartments, requested Council negotiate;
she is under three year wage freeze and needs time to find another
place.
Rubye Jordan, 525 Buena Vista Avenue, requested Council, if it
M15
100
cannot help with freezing the January increase, negotiate to freeze
future rents of the year.
Juliet Daoud, 465 Buena Vista Avenue, stated the rent increases are
too much and too frequent.
Mayor Corica arrived and took his seat to preside over the meeting.
Linda Davis, 527 Buena Vista Avenue urged Council to influence
Gersten Company to extend increases over two years; and commented
her ceiling has been leaking over four years.
President Corica noted Council has obtained vouchers and will
continue to negotiate with the Gersten Company, and the Gersten
Company has promised to rehabilitate the apartments.
Councilmember Haugner noted the lack of affordable housing in the
City.
In response to Councilmember Camicia's request for Minutes of
meetings with Gersten Company, President Corica stated he will
report regarding Gersten meetings and discussions but does not know
if it will be possible to obtain information regarding meetings
between Gersten and individuals from Buena Vista.
In answer to Councilmember Thomas's question, the Housing Authority
Director replied the qualification for the vouchers is based on
the individual's income, not on rent increase.
Councilmember Thomas commented that the Rent Review Advisory Board
is open to listen to complaints and investigate them.
Councilmember Monsef commented that the Gersten Company has agreed
to sit down with individuals from Buena Vista to attempt to work
out a solution; therefore perhaps Council should allow those
meetings to go ahead, and if there are tenant grievances, perhaps
they should go to the Rent Review Advisory Board as suggested by
Councilmember Thomas, and in the future come back before Council.
Mr. Guzman commented that perhaps the City could buy land through
HUD to provide housing.
Mr. Guyton stated the meetings with Gersten Company have not yet
been arranged.
Following further discussion Councilmember Camicia suggested a
meeting between the City, residents, and a Gersten representative.
President Corica stated he was agreeable to that and would contact
the Gersten Company.
Mr. Hernandez stated rent control would help.
Councilmember Monsef made a motion to accept the communication.
Councilmember Thomas seconded the motion and it was carried by
unanimous voice vote - 5.
DEC 15
101
87-872 From Alice A. Challen, M.D., regarding the hiring of
additional Fire Fighters. Accepted.
(See Paragraph 87-873 for discussion)
87-873 From Thelma Dyke, 1420 Union Street, regarding the need for
more Fire Fighters.
Sal Monaco, 2450 Otis Drive, stated people are lost through
attrition; those who are left must work harder, get more tired and
make more mistakes; instead of hiring a consultant, he would like
to see the Fire Chief get the people he needs.
Mike D'Orazi, President, Alameda Fire Fighters Association, stated
the department runs with a fluctuating level of service; every
other City in Alameda County has a set minimum level; is concerned
for fire fighters' lives and for citizens; and, while studies are
in progress, problems are worsening and fire companies are still
being shut down for lack of manpower.
Bunnie Russ, 905 Broadway, stated she is surprised Council has not
followed advice of the Fire Chief and fire fighters; had excellent
service from the Fire Department but is concerned if fire fighters
are already on call, they may not be available for emergencies.
Dr. Alice Challen, 2601 La Jolla Drive, stated the speed with
which an emergency is cared for is very important, and read her
letter requesting Council add at least four more fire fighters to
the Department; and not allow other projects, i.e., City Hall
renovation, library, etc., to have priority over saving lives.
Thelma Dyke, 1420 Union Street, stated, as heart patient, she knows
ambulance speed is important, does not believe any issue should be
placed before Fire or Police Department needs, and it is imperative
that the men be available to operate the ambulance.
John Ravet, 1816 St. Charles, stated despite Alameda's population,
there is not the joint response available in neighboring cities;
the City prides itself on old Victorian buildings but most have
extremely flammable walls; Alameda cannot fight a catastrophe;
insurance rates rise when there is lack of appropriate protection;
and asked what will happen when several calls occur at once.
Gerhard Degemann, 19 Sandpiper Place, stated he agrees City needs
more fire fighters; safety of citizens should come first on
Council's agenda; believes fire fighters could not get through in
heavy traffic; urged Council reconsider previous decision and
endorse more fire fighters for the protection of Alameda, citizens.
Councilmember Thomas stated she agrees with all speakers, and
hiring more fire fighters should be the number one priority.
Councilmember Monsef stated he asked for a review of the department
as it may be topheavy; is concerned for the community but believes
services are adequate; Navy will help in disaster; and he does
DEC 1 519E8
102
not object to voting for more men if he knows all are doing their
jobs, and therefore wants the study done as soon as possible.
Councilmember Haugner stated if the study shows more [personnel]
are needed, she will be agreeable to it.
President Corica stated his number one priority is public safety,
police and fire, because it is what citizens value most; believes
matter has been studied long enough, experts are in departments
because of their expertise, large expenditures for other projects
are secondary to fire and police protection, and funds should be
found for four more fire fighters; and he would like to go ahead
tonight.
Councilmember Camicia stated he believes the safety of the City is
acceptable and appropriate because the number of fires is down, and
there is a Navy backup; and he cannot justify spending the money
when the need is not present.
Councilmember Thomas stated that medical support has been added and
fire suppression personnel have been lost to emergency medical
runs; Engine 5 has been out of service a great deal of time, and
$41,000 has been spent on overtime to keep it from being out of
service all of the time, and the City is more densely populated.
Richard Quarante, Fire Chief, stated more fire fighters are needed;
the real issue is that there is a shortage of manpower; the hiring
of two firefighters was to replace a part of 12 lost since 1984 to
staff two City ambulances, and the department has taken on a major
program that generates a quarter of a million dollars annually; in
the last 4 - 1/2 months, there has been an average of 50.4%
manpower shortage at the start of a shift, varying from 30% to 67%,
depending on vacations, injuries or sickness.
John Barni, Sr., 1810 East Shore Drive, urged Council to give
support to Fire Department, and added that a permanent fire house
is needed on Bay Farm Island.
James Calvarese, 1081 Mangrove Lane, stated Council has an
obligation to give minimum protection to the citizens, and proposes
minimum coverage of 5 engines, 2 trucks and 2 ambulances; he lives
on Bay Farm Island, and if the bridge goes up and the engine is on
the main island, there would be no protection, and believes for a
City this size, it is below minimum.
Councilmember Camicia stated it is clear that there is acceptable
public safety but there is a problem with the union which wants
four more people and the City cannot afford four more people, and
wants statistics where the City is vulnerable.
Mr. Calvarese stated when Engine 5 is shut down the City is
vulnerable, and injuries to firemen have been up 100% in the last
four years.
Mr. Ravet suggested people spend a day with the fire department to
see what fire fighters do; and stated that fire captains go out
DEC 1 5 1
and fight fires and do many other things;
Councilmember Camicia made a motion to accept the two
communications regarding fire fighters. Councilmember Haugner
seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
87-874 President Corica noted that Judy Day was present at the
meeting (See 87-864); and presented the $250.00 check to her.
87-875 From Vice President, Mastick Senior Center Advisory Board,
and Bingo Manager, Mastick Senior Center, 1155 Santa Clara Avenue,
requesting consideration of an amendment to the ordinance
regulating smoking in public places. (Continued from December 1
Council Meeting) Accepted.
See paragraph 87-876 for discussion on both items.
87-876 From concerned bingo games representatives requesting that
Ordinance No. 2364, N.S., be amended so that bingo parlors are
specified in the category of exempted facilities such as bars and
retail tobacco stores.
Tom Baldwin, 2228 Encinal #A, stated he attends a hobby shop where
he usually smokes, that he supports the store, and he should be
allowed to smoke.
Marie Kohl, 58 Elysian Fields Drive, the ordinance represents
saving lives and protecting health; and smokers will still play
bingo after a non-smoking ordinance.
Victor Kohl, 58 Elysian Fields Drive, stated Temple Israel has a
large foyer where people can smoke; one church he played bingo in
provided a separate area.
John Babjak, 1614 Versailles Avenue, St. Philip Neri Church, asked
why the bars and tobacco stores are exempt.
The City Attorney stated the ordinance is the collective wisdom of
several cities, commented that tobacco stores are places where
people try out tobacco samples, and added the ordinance does not
ban smoking everywhere in the City.
Mr. Babjak stated that no one is forcing anyone to attend bingo
games; bingo games are for fund-raising; the church cannot
provide separate areas, and they may have to close and lose money.
Paul Mitterbach, 2310 Clement Avenue, owner of J & J Plumbing
Supply, stated he is a non-smoker, his contractor customers are
smokers, the ordinance will hurt his business; and he is not
willing to enforce the ordinance.
Gerhard Degemann, 19 Sandpiper Place, stated if the ordinance goes
into effect, he does not believe people will really lose business.
Robert Glotch, 2050 Lincoln Avenue, Executive Director, Alameda
Boys Club, stated players say they will not come back if there is
OED15198.8
no smoking; it is a part of the game; and they will lose a lot of
money for the Boys Club.
Councilmember Monsef stated everyone is looking at the issue from
the negative aspect; no one has looked at the issue that they may
not be drawing people to the game because they do not provide an
area for non-smokers; a policy has to be made for the benefit of
the majority of people; and urged the Council not to make changes
in the ordinance but to see what happens when it goes into effect.
Councilmember Monsef moved the communications be accepted.
Councilmember Thomas seconded the motion.
Councilmember Haugner stated the matter should be looked at as a
health issue, the smell of smoke lingers and bingo rooms are used
for other things; she would like non-smoking but as a compromise
she would consider a separate enclosed ventilated area.
Councilmember Camicia commented perhaps the ordinance could be
phased in over a number of years and within that time there could
be smoking sections provided, time to alert smokers they will not
be able to smoke, and time to bring in non-smoking players.
Councilmember Thomas agreed a compromise would be good, but unless
there were separately enclosed and separately ventilated
facilities, the problems noted by Councilmember Haugner will be
present; suggested, if there is a compromise, perhaps there could
be alternate nights for smoking and non-smoking; and noted that
losses may just be speculative at this point.
Frank McCormick, 1155 Santa Clara, Mastick Senior Center, stated
there is no way that there will be a profit from non-smokers; that
the money spenders are the smokers.
John Scott Graham, 1728 Tregloan Court, stated adults are going
into the sanctuary, at the Boy's Club, of children who are not
permitted to smoke, and saying by their example that it is alright
to smoke; and maybe people should realize perhaps they should not
smoke.
President Corica agreed that perhaps a compromise might be made;
suggested perhaps there should be a little more time given, and
perhaps it should be phased in.
Councilmember Monsef stated it would be a mistake for Council to
begin giving exemptions to specific groups; stated the whole issue
is to make a general policy in the public interest for the majority
of the citizens of the City of Alameda; and urged Council not
modify or make the ordinance weaker, and wait to see what happens
when the ordinance goes into effect.
Councilmember Haugner stated she would like the option presented to
the bingo parlors to provide divided areas if they are able to.
Following discussion on procedure of possibly amending the
ordinance, the motion to accept the communications was carried by
DEC 1 5 1
105
unanimous voice vote - 5.
Councilmember Haugner made a motion that the City Attorney be
directed to present several alternatives for amending the ordinance
on the next agenda.
Councilmember Monsef stated he would not object as long as the
alternatives include a smoke -free area.
Councilmember Thomas seconded the motion and it was carried by
unanimous voice vote - 5.
87 -877 From City Manager regarding the City's legislative
representative.
Mary -Linda Kemp, 815 15th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., 20008,
representative of Floyd Hyde and Associates (Hyde), stated Hyde has
represented Alameda since 1982, and was hired when there were
problems with HUD regarding grant funds; listed projects with
which they have helped and been effective; and stated it is
important to have someone to do background and follow -up work in
Washington, which requires a lot of time.
Fred Scullin, 1120 Chestnut Street, stated his concerns and
questioned the benefits to the City by retaining Hyde.
Councilmember Camicia stated Hyde has done follow -up on airport
problems; the City needs an advocate in Washington, D.C., because
problems are becoming regional; suggested Council continue with
the legislative representative until the end of the year.
Councilmember Haugner stated airport problem is federal problem,
lobbyists have the necessary connections that help; agrees that
Hyde should be kept for at least six months.
Councilmember Monsef stated he requested this be placed on the
agenda, not from a budgetary standpoint but to consider benefit the
City derives; believes best representative for the City is
Congressman Stark and best ambassador is the Mayor of the City;
and does not believe the City receives the benefit it pays for.
President Corica stated he has found through the years that any
things can be done through the office of Mayor; that there is no
problem communicating with Congressman Stark and Senator Wilson and
they have staff to assist; elected officials carry more clout in
Washington; believes the lobbyist is not necessary and would
prefer the money be used for the firemen.
Councilmember Camicia stated that our State and federal
representatives do not always agree and support every issue, but an
advocate, a lobbyist, can do that; regarding the airport
situation, it is not a time to drop the lobbyist, and if they are
not successful, they can then be dropped.
President Corica stated Council should come up with a proposal that
it believes will work in Washington, and then, if necessary, take
DEC 15
106
it there, because Council will be listened to more than a lobbyist.
A discussion followed on the pros and cons of the value of the
lobbyists with regard to the airport problems.
Councilmember Haugner noted we are on a month to month contract
with the consultants and she has a problem with sudden abandoning.
Councilmember Monsef noted the City has been dealing with the
airport several years; if someone is considered for termination
because it is believed they are not beneficial to the City, there
should not be procrastination, a decision should be made to either
terminate or keep them.
President Corica stated that fourteen cities in the Mayors
Conference recently banded together to help on a Naval Air Depot
matter, and that way, and other ways, are effective in getting
things done.
Councilmember Thomas moved that the association with Floyd Hyde be
discontinued when legally possible. Councilmember Monsef seconded
the motion.
Following discussion on what the City might or might not do about
airport problems in the absence of the association with Floyd Hyde,
the motion was carried by the following voice vote: Ayes:
Councilmembers Monsef, Thomas and President Corica - 3. Noes:
Councilmembers Haugner and Camicia - 2. Absent: None.
Councilmember Haugner stated she would like to be included more in
the dealings with the Port of Oakland.
87-878 Petition from concerned Alameda residents and players
requesting that the starting time policy of the Alameda Golf Course
be restored to the original practice at the conclusion of the
"pilot test."
Cal Santare , 2515 Central Avenue, suggested that the matter be
given to the Golf Commission tomorrow evening, thanked the City
Clerk and City Manager for helping with the filing of the petition,
etc., and asked if the Commission should come back to Council for
final approval of any decision the Golf Commission makes tomorrow
evening.
President Corica stated this is a pilot program but if there is
going to be some controversy, then he suggests the recommendations
of the Golf Commission be brought back before Council for final
decision.
Hubert Morgan, 301 Grand Avenue, commented that he had a petition
signed by more than 500 residents supporting continuation of the
preferential starting time program, which will be presented to the
Golf Commission at its meeting.
Councilmember Camicia made a motion to accept the recommendation of
the Recreation and Parks Director that the matter be directed to
DEC 151988
107
the Golf Commission for review and development of recommendations
regarding the program. Councilmember Thomas seconded the motion
and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
87 -879 From Modesto T. Pendon, Jr., 1839 Solano Way, Oakland,
regarding application review procedure for Junior Civil Engineer
position.
Mr. Pendon expressed his concerns regarding the review procedure,
noted the handling of his own application, and requested further
explanation of the procedural handling of his own case.
President Corica suggested he put his questions in writing and send
them in to the Personnel Department.
Councilmember Monsef made a motion that the communication be
accepted. Councilmember Thomas seconded the motion. The motion
was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
87 -880 From President, Chamber of Commerce, 2314 Central Avenue,
regarding a two -part research program on parking needs.
Tom White, President, Chamber of Commerce, requested Council's
approval of a research program, fully funded by the Chamber of
Commerce, which would require assistance of City staff, regarding
the City's parking problems.

program. Councilmember Thomas seconded the motion and it was

87 -885 From Community Development Director regarding proposed
revisions to parking regulations.
Councilmember Thomas stated she had concerns about the "night
clubs, dance halls" category in the Comparisons report, page two,
No. (4), which appears to reduce the parking, that there is a real
parking problem at the Hot Rod Cafe, Mariner Square, where cars
sometimes park in the fire lanes, that it may be an enforcement
problem but believes parking should not be reduced; also, cni.ld
care facilities should have required loading zones in front.
Councilmember Haugner stated she would like to have considered,
under Residential Uses, that a studio unit is given 1 1/2 spaces
per dwelling unit and she believes that is high.
Councilmember Thomas added that the Library Board had once noted
that more staff are needed per each story [level of proposed
