REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS
(95-729) Report from Planning Director transmitting Planning
Board's Recommendation Regarding a Fee Waiver Request by Eve
Roberson, on behalf of Save Pacific Avenue (SPA), for Appeal Fees.
Accepted.
Eve Roberson, SPA, stated that SPA believes they have made the two
necessary findings: 1) the waiver is in the public interest, and
2) the appellant or applicant is unable to afford such fees;
elaborated upon the findings; and spoke in support of request to
waive fee.
Shirley Cummins, Alameda, stated that a fee is a tax; that fees are
unfair; and spoke in support of fee waiver request.
Councilmember DeWitt stated that the City had spent $5,000 for an
investigator to make findings; that the City is absorbing costs
regarding the matter; that the City has to have someway to pay its
bills for the number of hours and investigation [costs]; and that
the $362 charge in fees is a reasonable amount that can be paid by
SPA, as compared to the $5,000 paid [to investigate the matter].
Councilmember Lucas stated that she believes SPA would not have had
to fight so hard if staff had done its job correctly; that she is
grateful to SPA for bringing questionable items to Council's
attention; that Council should be grateful to SPA for pointing out
the weaknesses in City government that will hopefully be remedied;
and moved that SPA's fee in the amount of $362 be waived.
Councilman Arnerich stated that the City is partially to blame;
stated that the fair process warrants the fee being waived; and
seconded the motion.
President Appezzato stated that he will support staff and the
Planning Board's recommendation; that there must be some payment
for City services; and that the $362 fee is [a] minimal [amount]
compared to the money that was expended [by the City].

In response to Councilman Arnerich's inquiry regarding enforcement,
the City Attorney referred to the City Manager's report indicating
three existing mechanisms for the City to require Mr. Tayag to
maintain the property: Notice of Limitation of Use of Real
Property, the Substantial Rehabilitation Agreement, and the Section
8 Contract; and stated that the sole purpose of the Code
Enforcement Officer is to remedy code violations in the City.
Councilmember Lucas expressed frustration with properties which are
funded by the City and maintain poor maintenance; stated that HUD
is unable to control their properties and maintain them in a
decent, safe, sanitary and habitable manner; that Mr. Tayag's
property is full of litter; and requested that the City use
whatever mechanisms available to enforce maintenance.
The City Manager stated that there are some property owners who
receive repeated notice and continue to do little or nothing, which
requires a tremendous amount of staff work for non-compliance; that
there are some property owners who receive one notice and comply;
and concurred that said property and owner were problems.
Councilmember Lucas stated that she realizes a lot of staff work
and time goes into problem properties; and that its the properties
that are partially financed with City monies and Section 8 rent
subsidizes which have the greatest problems.
The City Manager stated that the City is hiring a Code Enforcement
Officer; and that said property would be given top priority.

nuisance properties, one of which was 1310 Pacific Avenue; that
said property required Court Orders and years to finally abate; and
that abatement has to be done legally.

Avenue] were procedural; the project itself was not at any point in
conflict with existing City policy; that the Planning Board will
conduct hearings to address the procedural problems; and stated
that he was not sure the City has the authority to implement Ms.
Roberson's requests.
The Fire Chief stated that the Fire Department found no fire or
safety hazard.

finding; and that after Council has reviewed each item, the

legal power to govern rents paid for units [under the Section 8
Program]; and moved implementation of Request No. 4.
In response to President Appezzato, the City Manager stated that
Councilmember DeWitt's point has already been addressed and
resolved; that the City has already written the property owner a

(95 -736) Resolution No. 12717 "Calling a Special Election in
the City of Alameda for the Purpose of Submitting to the Electors

Qualified to Publish the Legal Advertising for the City; Fixing the
Date of Said Election, the Manner of Holding Same, and Providing
Regular Mating, Alameda city Cramell
December 5, 1995
for Notice Thereof; Consolidating Said Special Election with the
Primary Election of the State of California to be Held on Tuesday,
March 26, 1996; and Proposing Said Charter Amendment." Adopted.
Scott Hennigh, Alameda, stated that he subscribed to the Alameda
Times Star and expressed concern regarding an article on the
proposed Charter amendment; spoke in opposition to the Resolution;
and made inquiries regarding the current legal advertising
contract.
President Appezzato stated that the contract was awarded to the
Alameda Journal because it was low bidder; and gave an overview of
the matter.
In response to Mr. Hennigh's inquiries, the City Attorney gave an
overview regarding the Alameda Times Star and Alameda Journal's bid
protests and actions thereof; and elaborated upon legal
requirements regarding the contract.
Don Roberts, Alameda, stated that the comments made by the City
Attorney when the contract was awarded were to the point: "that
neither the [Alameda] Journal nor Alameda Times Star met the
requirements of the Charter "; that it was a sensible approach to
change the Charter to reflect the [current] situation; and urged
Council to submit proposed Charter amendment to the voters.
President Appezzato stated that it was he who suggested that the
Charter amendment be placed on the ballot; however, he was not sure
that it was necessary to have the amendment since it may no longer
be necessary.
Councilman Arnerich stated that he was in support of the Charter
amendment and would not want the matter resurfacing at a later
time; and moved adoption.
Councilmember DeWitt spoke in support of the Charter amendment;
stated that the City would be restricting itself if the current
language was allowed to remain; and that the wording was outdated
and not in keeping with the reality of what is going on in the
newspaper business.
Vice Mayor Mannix clarified that the Charter amendment proposal
reflects the fact that there is currently no paper in Alameda that
completely meets the standards of the Charter; stated that the
Charter needed to be amended given the fact that Alameda does not
have a resident paper publishing in the City; and that as long as
the wording remains in the Charter, the City will have to revert
back to precedence which opens the door for a low bidder that may
not be adequate.

Councilmember Lucas concurred with comments made by fellow
Councilmembers; and stated that it was important to amend the
Charter.
Councilmember DeWitt stated that the wording of the ballot measure
does not reflect all the possibilities and questions addressed;
suggested that the amendment be reworded, simple, clear and
understandable to the voter; and that the wording should reflect a
certain minimum circulation within the City for an advertiser.
President Appezzato stated that he had no problem with the current
wording.
Vice Mayor Mannix seconded Councilman Arnerich's motion to adopt
the Resolution.
Following discussion, the City Attorney stated that the Charter
amendment was to impose a new requirement that newspapers be
adjudicated by a court as a newspaper of general circulation within
the City of Alameda, and [would be] in lieu of the current Charter
Section which requires one year publication [in the City preceding
the making of such bid] and 1,000 copies [paid circulation].
Councilmember DeWitt expressed concerns and stated that because a
newspaper has a general circulation in the City, that does not mean
it is going to reach the people.
The City Attorney stated that it is her understanding that only two
newspapers currently that have court orders of general circulation
in the City: Alameda Journal and Alameda Times Star.
Councilmember DeWitt stated that the ballot wording "in lieu of..."
creates confusion; and requested that the ballot measure only
indicate what the voters are to vote on.
Councilman Arnerich called for the question.
The City Manager suggested the following language: Shall the
Charter of the City of Alameda be amended to require newspapers to
be adjudicated as a newspaper of general circulation within the
City of Alameda to qualify to publish the City's legal
advertisements in place of current Charter requirements.
Don Roberts, stated that the question was called for, and that
rules and procedures should be followed.
The City Attorney responded that Roberts Rules of Order are not
binding on the Council, and that the rules set forth in the.
Municipal Code do not require strict adherence.
