HELD THURSDAY - - - - - - - - - - - OCTOBER 7, 1976
The meeting convened at 12:00 o'clock noon in the Council Chamber of the City Hall with
President Corica presiding.
ROLL CALL:
The roll was called and Councilmen Beckam, Diament, Hurwitz, Sherratt and President Corica, (5),
were noted present. Absent: None.
1. Receipt of the Notice and Agenda of this Special Meeting had been acknowledged by the Council-
men and was on file. The purpose of this session was for consideration of a License and Consession
Agreement with the Port of Oakland, and to take action thereon if desired.
NEW BUSINESS:
2. The City Manager reported this was a cooperative effort to place an application before the
Federal Government under the Economic Development Act for a Public Works grant for the construction
of City Line Road. He stated this venture involved participation by the engineering staffs of
the Port of Oakland and the City of Alameda, as well as Harbor Bay Isle Associates. Mr. Goss explained
the format of the application and noted that one of the requirements was the need for a License
Agreement or Lease between the Port of Oakland and the City, so the City could represent that it
had control of the entire right-of-way over which City Line Road would be constructed.
On question, City Attorney Stroud explained the terms of the Agreement, which he stated the Board
of Port Commissioners had approved on October 6, 1976. He stated the Agreement gave the City a
license to build a road on approximately 75-feet of Port land on the Oakland side of the boundary
between Alameda and Oakland. He said that included in the definition of the construction of the
road were all items which had cost impact and which should be part of the Federal grant. He reported
that if the Federal grant was not received for all of the items, then there would be no License
Agreement, however the Agreement could then be renegotiated. He said that hopefully there would
be no cost to either the Port or the City. Mr. Stroud noted that according to the terms of the
Agreement the city agreed to build the road, keep it clean, maintain the FAA security requirements
(the fence), move the navigation device, and keep it as a public road, and the Port agreed that if
at the end of the year a more permanent agreement had not been worked out, all of the roadway
on their property would become their's and they would also keep it open as a public road, with the
cost of maintenanee to be equitably divided between the Port and the City. He answered questions
put by members of the Council.
President Corica asked, if the application were approved, how much money would it cost the City.
City Manager Goss noted the relocation of the tour Golf Course holes was a part of the total
project; that a cost figure would be established and if the total project went over that figure,
then the difference would be the obligation of the City and perhaps could be shared with the Port
or the developer. He said he would advise that the estimate be conservative.
President Corica questioned whether the Golf Course rebuilding project would coincide with the
construction of City Line Road. He reported the Golf Commission already had a plan to relocate
the four holes and modify the Golf Course, and wished to proceed so that there would be no interrup-
tion in play. Mr. Goss stated that from the date of approval of the application, the City had
ninety days in which to start construction; that it was extremely difficult to draw up plans and
specifications, go out to bid, and start construction within that period of time. He said the
next option would be to phase the project, which EDA had stated would be acceptable, and it was
his opinion the best way to phase it would be to start with the Golf Course holes within the
ninety day period, during which time the roadway would be designed and bid procedure initiated.
Councilman Hurwitz asked if there was anything in the request for funds to cover redesign of the
four holes. Assistant City Engineer Lee Eichelberger stated the Consulting Engineer had been
requested to include the design, as well as the relocation, in the contract. Councilman Hurwitz
suggested a Golf Course Architect redesign the Golf Course holes, and President Corica suggested
Mr. Benderfield, Western Director of the IJSGA Greens Section, be contacted in this regard.
Councilman Hurwitz asked if there was a time limit on the Agreement with the Port-City Attorney
Stroud reported the Agreement was for a one-year period, however it could be continued on a month
to month basis.
There followed a lengthy discussion of the location of City Line Road, and the Harbor Bay Isle
commercial and residential projects.
At the conclusion of discussion, Councilman Beckam moved the resolution authorizing execution of
the agreement with the Port be taken out of order, and that a truck prohibition be placed on
Maitland Drive to become effective and posted when the intersection of City Line Road and Maitland
Drive became available for public use. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hurwitz and carried
unanimously on voice vote.
