He noted Mayor Corica was the City representative to the ABAG General Assembly, with Councilman Sherratt acting as alternate; that they and the City Manager would soon be receiving a complete draft of the Plan for review, with each Council member receiving a summary. He reported the Plan dealt with air, water, and solid waste pollution; was prepared by the Environmental Task Force of ABAG; and a series of public hearings had been scheduled. He stated the final Plan would be approved by the General Assembly on April 6, 1978, and was an opportunity for local government to determine their destiny in terms of environmental protection. Mr. Hagevik said the Plan met the requirements of the new Clean Air Act, the revised Federal Water Pollution Control Act, and Federal Solid Waste legislation.

From the Safewater Coalition, Inc., signed by the President, requesting passage of a resolution supporting a new fluoridation election in 1978. President Corica noted the City Council had passed a resolution in July, 1974, supporting fluoridation of local water supplies. He asked if the Council members wished to reconsider this position. Ms. Saima Swift, a member of Safewater Coalition, alleged the East Bay Municipal Utility District added 7500 pounds a day of fluoride to the water system, at a cost of $168,000 per year. She stated they had information that 7 ounces a day would do the job for the children in the District who needed fluoride, and cited evidence of the harmfulness of water fluoridation. Councilman Diament stated she had heard there was new information available on the subject, and asked that the Utility District be contacted and requested to supply research material indicating the amounts of fluoride being added to the water and its harmful and/or beneficial effects, if any. Councilman Sherratt concurred. He said he would also be interested in reviewing any written material which the Safewater Coalition could provide to substantiate its claims. President Corica directed that the communication be received, and the Utility District and Safewater Coalition be asked to provide the additional information requested. HEARINGS: 5. In the Matter of Resolution of Intention No. 8828 to order vacation of an unused portion of County Road northerly of Mecartney Road (12-foot strip along the west side of County Road). For the record, the City Clerk reported the Affidavit of Publication of the Resolution of Intention was on file; appropriate Notice of Hearing had been posted on the property; and interested persons and public utility companies had been notified of the hearing. The President explained procedure to be followed and declared the hearing opened. Assistant City Engineer Lee Eichelberger stated that originally the right of way was 80-feet wide, however the City had already abandoned a 17-foot strip by previous action. He said the present action was to abandon an additional 12 feet along the west side of County Road, which would be adjacent to the proposed Alameda First National Bank site, leaving a right of way of 51 feet for the roadway which would serve as a cul-de-sac off of Mecartney. He stated this would provide an 8-foot sidewalk on the west side, a future 28-foot curb-to-curb dimension, and a 15-foot sidewalk dimension adjacent to the older homes that had no improvements. On the call for proponents or opponents, there was no response. The hearing was declared closed. Mrs. Paula Shields, owner of property fronting on County Road, questioned access to the cul-de-sac and the Assistant City Engineer replied. Councilman Sherratt moved the resolution be taken out of order, seconded by Councilman Tillman, on voice vote carried unanimously. cfl RESOLUTIONS: 6. The following resolution was introduced by Councilman Diament, who moved its adoption: "Resolution No. 8845 Finding and Determining Portion of County Road Northerly of Mecartney Road, A Public Street inifie City of Alameda, is Unnecessary for Present or Prospective Street Purposes; Ordering Vacation Thereof Subject to Reservation of a Water Line Easement Therein as Described Herein and in Resolution of Intention No. 8828 Heretofore Adopted on December 6, 1977; and Directing City Clerk to Cause Certified Copy of this Resolution to be Recorded." The motion to adopt said resolution was seconded by Councilman Sherratt and carried on the following roll call vote. Ayes: Five. Noes: None. Absent: None. HEARINGS: 77. In the Matter of a proposal to rezone property located at 716 Central Avenue from R-5, General Apartment District, to R-5-PD, General Apartment District with a Planned Development overlay. Applicant: John Anthony. President Corica explained procedure and declared the hearing opened. On request, the Planning Director described the proposal. He reported the Planning Board recommended the rezoning application. On the call for proponents or opponents, there was no response. Councilman Tillman suggested that as the property in question had originally been a part of the historic Croll Gardens, that the developer be requested to name the private roadway access: "Croll Garden Road." Councilman Sherratt then offered the foregoing suggestion as a motion, which was seconded by Councilman Diament and carried by unanimous voice vote. Mr. Anthony, who entered the Council Chamber several minutes after the hearing had been concluded, was advised by President Corica of the foregoing motion and stated he would comply with the request. The hearing was declared closed. Councilman Sherratt moved the introduction of the Ordinance be taken out of order. At the suggestion of Councilman Beckam, he amended the motion to include Council approval of the Planning Board's recommendations. The motion, as amended, was seconded by Councilman Tillman. Councilman Diament stated she would vote against the proposal for the reason that she was of the opinion the property should have been downzoned, and not enough effort had been made to do downzoning throughout the city. On a call for the question, the amended motion carried on the following voice vote. Ayes: Four. Noes: Councilman Diament (1). Absent: None. INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCES: 8. Councilman Beckam introduced the following ordinance, after which it would be laid over under provision of law and the Charter: "Ordinance No. An Ordinance Reclassifying and Rezoning Certain Property Within the City of Alameda by Amending Zoning Ordinance No. 1277, New Series." (R-77-10 -- 716 Central Avenue.) The motion was seconded by Councilman Sherratt and carried on the following roll call vote. Ayes: Four. Noes: Councilman Diament, (1). Absent: None. HEARINGS: 9. In the Matter of the Fourth Year Housing and Community Development Act Application Program. President Corica reported this was the fourth of six public hearings to be held in the matter; that three prior hearings had already been held in neighborhood locations, and this and two additional hearings would be held before the City Council. Mr. Robert Wonder, Assistant to the City Manager, stated this hearing was held solely for the receipt of citizen input; that between this meeting and the hearing to be held on January 17, staff would evaluate the proposals and compile a preliminary application. Mr. Wonder made a slide presentation showing what had been accomplished by the City during the past three funding years. He reported the primary objective of the Act was the development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing, suitable living environment, expanding economic opportunities, and was principally for persons of low and moderate income. He indicated that for the first three years the city received approximately $1,780,000, and might expect to receive $3,406,000 the next three years. He noted the target amount for this year was $1,051,000; however, Congress had changed the requirements for eligible activities. He stated the project must now be (1) specifically mentioned as an eligible activity in the regulations, and (2) must be within an area with a majority of low and moderate income people or must directly benefit low and moderate income people; that unless both criteria were satisfied, the project could nct be considered for HCDA funding. He said the new HUD regulations proposed a 75%/25% split; that 75% of the funds must be spent on projects principally benefitting low and moderate income persons, and the remaining 25% may, with Federal approval, be spent on projects to eliminate slums and blight and other emergency projects. He reported the target areas had been expanded. Mr. Wonder stated the proposed Senior Center would still require some $500,000 for completion, however there were some options. He reported the feasibility study on the Site Acquisition/Utilization Project would require approximately non,00n out of fourth year funds to complete. He said it was felt th.E, Housing Conservation Program would require $80,000 to keep the program operational. On question, Mr. Wonder reported that when fully staffed, there would be five persons whose salaries were covered by HCDA funding, plus 2 CETA employees. President Corica expressed his opposition to the restrictive regulations, and stated it was his opinion the city should be allowed to spend the funds as it saw fit, or get along without them. He declared the hearing opened for public input. 1,) Mr. Joseph Sullivan, 3221 Liberty Avenue, repeated his previously stated opposition to locating the Senior Center on the site at 8th Street and Westline Drive. He said he believed that unless a more suitable site was found, the whol4dea should be abandoned and the government grant rejected. He suggested the city might subsidize religious and fraternal organizations to conduct programs for senior citizens. Mr. Clarence Day, 1322 Broadway, said it was his opinion a Senior Citizens Center was a very needed project, and spoke in favor of the proposed site and funding recommendation. Mr. Chris Corpuz, 609 Santa Clara Avenue, President of United Pilipinos of Alameda, stated they had submitted a project proposal for a Neighborhood Community Center, and an available site was a 3.12-acre parcel located in the 600 block of Buena Vista Avenue, a portion of which housed the former Roller Derby building. He reported this property was for sale and was located within the target area. There followed a discussion of the moneys allocated to the Site Acquisition/Utilization project. Mr. Wonder reported these funds could not be diverted as they had been set aside to develop low income housing, and this had been a condition of the second and third year grants. Councilman Tillman asked if HCDA funds assigned to a specific project could later be transferred to another project. Mr. Wonder said that in all cases this could be done, with the consent of the City Council, except for the funds allocated to the Site Acquisition/Utilization project and Housing Assistance Plan. He stated the final report of the consultant firm of MKGK would be received in mid-January and should identify several strategies for acquisition of sites and construction of low cost housing. Mrs. Margaret Rotanzi, 2168 San Jose Avenue, Chairman of the Alameda Senior Council, asked what was causing the delay in the Senior Citizens Center project. She was advised by President Corica that opposition had been expressed to the proposed site. Councilman Sherratt noted the Planning Board had reviewed the Environmental Impact Report and had referred it back to the consultant for more detail. Mr. Russ Sisung, 221 Santa Clara Avenue, suggested funds be allocated for the improvement of existing low and moderate income housing stock. He questioned who would pick up the cost of maintaining a Senior Citizens Center and other similar projects once HCDA funds were no longer available for that purpose. The hearing was declared closed. REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: 10. From the Auditor-Assessor requesting authorization to cancel and refund real and personal property taxes erroneously levied and collected. Councilman Beckam moved approval of the request and the resolution be taken out of order, seconded by Councilman Sherratt and carried by unanimous voice vote. RESOLUTIONS: 11. The following resolution was introduced by Councilman Sherratt, who moved its adoption: "Resolution No. 8846 Ordering Cancellation and Refund of Real and Personal Property Taxes Erroneously Levied and Collected."

From the Acting City Manager reporting all work satisfactorily completed on the project of the improvement of Island Drive north of Clubhouse Memorial Road, recommending it be accepted and the Notice of Completion ordered filed. Councilman Diament remarked that she had recent occasion to drive in that vicinity at night and had found the lighting to be very poor on the city side of Island Drive, and she considered the road dangerous. The Assistant City Engineer reported there was no provision at present for additional lighting. President Corica concurred with Councilman Diament's remarks. He said he also found the paving on the city portion was slippery, and the area did not compare favorably with the street construction put in by the developer of Harbor Bay Isle. He suggested lights be put on the Golf Course side of Island Drive. Councilman Tillman stated he had received several citizen complaints on the road conditions. Councilman Beckam moved acceptance of the project, and the Notice of Completion be ordered filed. The motion was seconded by Councilman Tillman and on voice vote carried unanimously. 14. From the City Manager transmitting report of the Planning Director on the status of the Combined Land Use Plan. President Corica noted there would be a series of six public hearings on CLUP at the Planning Board level. He said it had come to his attention that Planning staff was being asked to speak on the draft of the Plan before civic and service organizations, and questioned the content of staff presentations and expressed his objections. He reported CLUP was presently in the draft stage, and suggested any changes be directly inserted and not put in the form of an addendum. Councilmen Tillman and Sherratt reported they had heard staff presentations on the draft of the Plan, and considered they were presented in an unbiased manner and the audiences has been informed this was merely a draft and being presented for the purpose of obtaining public input. Following a brief discussion, Councilman Beckam moved acceptance of the report, seconded by Councilman Sherratt and carried unanimously on voice vote. v15.

From the Acting City Manager recommending Reimbursable Agreement between the City and the Federal Aviation Administration for installation of new air navigational aid and removal of the existing localizer on Runway 27R, Oakland Airport. Councilman Sherratt questioned the cost to the city and the source of funding for the components of the navigational aid. He said he understood the $143,509 figure quoted was to be used to pay the FAA for installation work only. Acting City Manager Creagh said the approximate cost to the city was unknown at this time. City Manager Goss suggested consideration of the matter be held over to the next meeting. Councilman Sherratt so moved, seconded by Councilman Diament and on voice vote carried unanimously. -18. From the Golf Commission regarding fencing on the City Line Road project. President Corica reported the present fence in the redevelopment area belonged to the Port of Oakland and would be moved when the road was constructed. He stated the Port would undoubtedly relocate the fence to their side of the road for security reasons, and the Commission's concern was that a fence should be erected on the golf course side. He noted the City had $24,000 budgeted for their portion of the fence. Councilman Tillman moved acceptance of the report, seconded by Councilman Sherratt, and on voice vote carried unanimously. 19. From the Acting City Manager, as Secretary of the Social Service Human Relations Board, concerning Board attendance at a County-wide workshop.

The motion was seconded by Councilman Beckam and carried unanimously on voice vote. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: 20. Consideration of the following items brought up under "New Business" at the regular meeting held December 20, 1977: (a) Inquiry by President Corica concerning priority rating and funding of the improvement of the Corporation Yard. It was directed this subject be considered at the time of the annual review of the Capital Improvement Program in June, 1978. Councilman Tillman asked for a report as to the total cost of the Police Headquarters building at this time, and the contemplated cost for completion, so this might be taken into consideration in allocating future Business License taxes. There followed a discussion of the increased revenue derived from the surcharge at the Golf Course and the new Driving Range and Golf Cart Storage shed, and its application toward repaying the funds borrowed from the Police building project. (b) Comment by President Corica regarding public input on the Combined Land Use Plan. Mr. Russ Sisung reported that when he had asked to borrow a copy of CLUP from the Planning Department, he was requested to make a deposit of $7.50. He objected to this practice. There followed a short discussion. It was the consensus of the Council that the Plan was to be made available for loan and deposits be eliminated. (c) Comment by Councilman Tillman concerning siren location at St. Philip Neri Church. Reverend Gary Tollner stated it had been reported the moving of the siren to another location would cost $600. He said that beside himself, there had been complaints by parishioners who objected to its location near the front of the Church; also, when the sirens were tested the previous week, the one at this location did not go off. He said he was quite disturbed at the placement of the siren for aesthetic reasons, and suggested other sites, all of which had been rejected by the city. Councilman Diament reported there was a siren located in the immediate area of her home, and she felt the parish should be glad to have it close by in the event of an emergency. President Corica stated he had contacted several people in the parish, and many of them were not even aware of the siren's location. Councilman Sherratt stated that unless he could be shown a better location to serve the community, he thought the siren should remain at its present location. Councilman Tillman objected. He said he thought something should be done toward relocating the siren. Following an explanation offered by the Assistant City Manager, he was requested to investigate relocation of the siren to a site on Fountain Street, to explore other sites, and to provide the Council with a report on the matter. 21. Councilman Sherratt commented on the report received from the City Engineer on the status of the shore line erosion control demonstration project. He reported the Beach Erosion Committee would reconvene as soon as a communication had been received from the Corps of Engineers on the proposed demonstration grant. Councilman Diament asked that a copy of the City Engineer's report be sent to the Bayview Estates Homeowners Association. 22. Councilman Sherratt called attention to the Traffic Advisory Committee report on referral of the Washington Street traffic problem. He asked that the Police Department patrol the area at more frequent intervals. 23.
