ORAL REPORTS
5 -A. Oral report from the BRAG updating the ARRA on current activities.
Lee Perez, BRAG Chair, reported that the BRAG has a couple of issues of concern. First, the BRAG
feels there needs to be another letter to the Navy to resolve the housing issue, so that the current
window of opportunity is not lost. Secondly, there needs to be improved transportation in order to
fully develop the area, including another link across the estuary. If that is not possible right now,
it should still be included in a plan to be reviewed at a future date.
recycled paper 2 H:\MENSLEY\ARRA \MINUTES \1998\5- 6- 98.MIN
Member Kerr inquired whether transportation alternatives will be addressed in the recently- issued
RFP for the General Plan amendment. Mr. Perez stated he is not certain if they are addressed, but
reiterated that even if not at present, the door should be left open to deal with it in the future.
Member Daysog concurred that the window of opportunity for developing housing is narrow, and
asked the ARRA Assistant General Counsel, Teresa Highsmith, if there is anything to preclude them
from dealing with housing issues now. Ms. Highsmith advised that there is nothing to keep them
from addressing these issues now, as long as they are consistent with the Reuse Plan.
Executive Director Kay Miller asked Mr. Perez if the BRAG is particularly concerned about lead -
based paint abatement in the housing area, and he agreed that that is part of the issue. Ms. Miller
said she would address that in her oral report.
5 -B. Written report on behalf of the Executive Director updating the ARRA on:
1. Status of the Economic Development Conveyance (EDC)
2. Status of the Tidelands Trust appraisal
3. Alameda Unified School District land swap
1. Executive Director Miller added that there will be an all -day meeting with the EDC negotiating
team (including the Navy) on May 11. They are not yet in serious negotiations, but still in the
process of clarifying what the application and business plan contain.
2. Executive Director Miller stated there have been very productive meetings with the State Lands
Commission regarding the joint appraisal, and there should be a full report by the fall.
3. Executive Director Miller said that ARRA staff has met with the School District to identify three
potential parcels for the central cafeteria and corporation yard, but the District has not yet decided
which sites are acceptable to them. It has been determined that the continuation high school will be
located on the FISC site.
5 -C. Oral report from the Executive Director (non - discussion items).
Executive Director Miller advised that things are moving forward regarding the Wildlife Refuge
boundaries and restrictions outside the Refuge.
Regarding the lead -based paint abatement issue, Executive Director Miller said that the Navy is still
reviewing the cost of abatement of the 19 Big Whites and 30 CPO units. The cost appears to be
higher than the original estimate of $2.2 -2.3 million; it now could be as much as $4 million.
Therefore, the Navy will have to get approval from Washington for this additional amount. In the
meantime, no abatement has been done because the full amount of the contract needs to be
determined before any work is begun. This continues to result in lost lease revenues on these units.
Several Board Members asked for further explanation of the status of this problem, and Dave Ryan,
Base Conversion Manager, provided an overview of the situation. Mr. Ryan stated that because this
is government housing, the abatement standards are much higher than for private housing. There are
very detailed criteria for complying with the federal guidelines, which has resulted in a cost estimate
recycled paper 3 H: \MENSLEY\ARRA \MINUTES \1998 \5- 6- 98.MIN
of $80,000 for each Big White unit and $30,000 for each of the 800 sq.ft. CPO units. Since the cost
has become so prohibitive, he said that one alternative might be to not do the abatement work at all
and amend the Reuse Plan.
Member Kerr inquired if the Navy has been in contact with the Alameda County lead abatement
program, since they are very experienced in this area and could perhaps offer some assistance. Mr.
Ryan said that they have; however, the federal requirements are much more extensive than the
County's.
Alternate Friedman recommended that this item be agendized for the next meeting and suggested
that perhaps someone from the County program could join the Navy presentation.

Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority
Interoffice Memorandum
May 22, 1998
TO: Honorable Members of the
Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority
FROM: Kay Miller, Executive Director
SUBJ: Authorize additional allocation of funds in the amount of $85,042
for Building 530 upgrades (07 -49- 03698- 530A). N . P.W. 11 -97 -29
Background:
On February 4, 1998, the ARRA Governing Body awarded a contract in the amount of $501,630,
including 15% contingencies, for Building 530 upgrades. These upgrades are required to make the
building code - compliant and suitable to lease to Tower Aviation.
Discussion:
The project is 50% complete and is expected to fmish in June 1998. To date, two extra work orders
totaling $22,472 have been processed for new and unforeseen work. These extra work orders are for
rerouting existing utilities that were in conflict with proposed work and for retrofitting existing
lights. The construction contingency amount is $65,430 and the balance in the contingency amount
is $42,958.
During the last heavy rains, staff discovered that the roof leaked. Also discovered during construc-
tion were additional necessary repairs to the fire sprinkler system, parking and exterior lighting
systems, and existing HVAC. Because of design omission, the existing door hardware also needs
to be upgraded to meet code. These repairs must be done before the tenant occupies the building to
reduce the City's and ARRA's liability to claims. The estimated cost for the above work is $128,000.
An additional $85,042 is needed to complete this project.
Fiscal Impact:
A federal grant from the Economic Development Administration (EDA) to ARRA covers 75% of
construction costs. The remaining 25% paid from local sources will come from a state grant (from
the California Trade and Commerce Agency) and from ARRA lease revenues. There is money in
the EDA project budget to cover the above requested additional funds.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the ARRA Governing Body, by motion, authorize additional allocation of
funds in the amount of $85,042 into the project construction contingency for Building 530 upgrades
(07- 49- 03698- 530A), No. P.W. 11- 97 -29.

TO:
FROM:
SUBJ:
Honorable Members of the
Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority
Kay Miller, Executive Director
Authorize the Executive Director to award a contract for consultant design
services in the amount of $267,000 to VBN Architects for renovation of
Building 16 (No. P.W. 05- 98 -14)
Background:
Building 16 is scheduled to be leased by ARRA to the California School of Professional Psychology.
The term of the lease is expected to be 13.5 years. Prior to the execution of this lease, life safety,
code upgrades and tenant improvements must be constructed.
Discussion:
Six consultants submitted proposals for architectural and engineering services for Building 16
upgrades (see attached list). Staff evaluated these proposals and interviewed all consultants.
The criteria for ranking are as follows:
• Responsiveness to the Request for Proposal
• Technical quality of approach and methodology
• Training and experience of key personnel
• Record of firm in accomplishing other similar projects
• Ability to conform to project schedule
• Hours planned
• Understanding of project
Award of the contract is contingent upon approval of bond financing.
The City's policy on "local preference" (per Administrative Instruction No. 5) is: "All other factors
being equal, consultants whose qualifications are satisfactory, who have sufficient experience and
capabilities for providing the necessary professional services and who have offices within the City
shall normally be given priority in being considered for employment by the City. Otherwise,
consultants outside of the immediate area or not regularly doing professional work on projects within
the City shall be considered for employment for the particular project ".
VBN Architects is the most qualified consultant for the project per the ranking criteria.
Fiscal Impact:
The estimated cost for the consultant work is $267,000. The project will be funded through bond
financing. Staff is negotiating final scope of work and cost with the architect.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the ARRA Governing Body, by motion, authorize the Executive Director to
enter into an agreement with VBN Architects to provide design services for Building 16 (No. P.W.
05- 98 -14).

Interoffice Memorandum
May 26, 1998
TO: Honorable Members of the
Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority
FROM: Kay Miller, Executive Director
SUBJ: Authorization for the Executive Director to finalize and execute a five -year lease
with a five -year option to renew for Building 90 with Forty Plus of Northern
California
Background:
Forty Plus of Northern California wishes to enter into a five -year lease with a five -year renewal
option on Building 90 and adjoining property. Since the combined term of this lease and option
exceeds seven years, the ARRA Governing Body must authorize the Executive Director to execute
the lease.
Discussion:
Building 90, an approximately 4,500 sq. ft. building adjacent to Alameda Point's East Gate, formerly
served as office space for the ARRA. Forty Plus is an established non -profit organization providing
job search assistance for unemployed professionals. They expect to serve 50 -60 clients at any given
period of time. Upgrades to the building's heating and plumbing systems, electrical service,
restrooms, and handicap access ramp will be provided as required by code. The gross rent during the
initial five years of the lease term will be approximately $170,000. Rental income during the option
period will be approximately $250,000.
Fiscal Impact:
The ARRA will spend approximately $95,000 from its EDA grant for building shell upgrades. This
money will be recovered from the estimated $420,000 rental income during the initial lease term and
option period.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the ARRA Governing Body authorize the Executive Director to finalize and
execute the proposed five -year lease with five -year option to renew for Building 90 with Forty Plus
of Northern California.

Interoffice Memorandum
May 27, 1998
TO: Honorable Members of the
Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority
FROM: Kay Miller, Executive Director
SUBJ: Written status report on ARRA activities
1. Touro University. After the Board met on May 6, 1998 and gave direction to staff regarding
negotiations with Touro University, Facilities Manager Ed Levine communicated the Board's
direction to Touro. To date, they have not responded to our counter - proposal.
2. Antiques by the Bay event. Staff is finalizing details of a license agreement with an Alameda -
based operator for use of the airfield tarmac adjacent to the seaplane lagoon for a monthly antiques
and collectibles fair. This use was reviewed and approved by the Planning Board at its May 26,
1998 meeting. The Board approved a five -year use permit; however, the impacts of the operation
will be further reviewed by the Board after six events. If it is established that the fair generates
unacceptable traffic impacts or other significant detriments to the community, the use permit may
be terminated. The Board imposed a number of conditions to mitigate impacts on adjacent tenants
and residents and to assure that the merchandise sold is limited to antiques and collectibles. The use
permit will be reviewed by the City Council.
It is estimated that the fair will generate approximately $500,000 in license revenues over five years.
Additional revenues will be generated from sales tax and spinoff business in the community.
Because this is a five -year license, the agreement does not require ARRA Board approval. Extensive
public review and comment has already been assured through lengthy consideration of the project
by the Planning Board and now the City Council.
3. EIR/EIS delay. The City of Alameda and Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority have
been diligently working with EFA West to complete the joint DEIS/EIR for final review through
Navy's process, release to the public for the required comment period, and ultimate acceptance by
the Navy for a targeted date of early 1999. The Navy cannot convey the Alameda Point property
without prior compliance with environmental review requirements under NEPA; the City cannot
accept the property without prior compliance with environmental review requirements under CEQA.
An administrative draft of the DEIS/EIR has recently received a detailed legal review and analysis
by both the City /ARRA's in -house and outside legal counsel for the purpose of determining
compliance with CEQA requirements. The result of this review is the legal conclusion that the EIR
component of the document requires some additional drafting.
Honorable Members of the
Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority
May 28, 1998
Page 2
The City /ARRA are in the processing of making these changes to the draft EIS/R, aided by the Navy
in supplying us with a copy of the DEIS/EIR on disk form. The City/ARRA are coordinating these
efforts with local Navy review on a concurrent basis to speed up preparation of a final DEIS/EIR
document for review up the Navy ranks. The additional time being taken by the City/ARRA to make
these drafting changes and the review the changes will require may add 60 to 90 days to the schedule
for release of the DEIS/EIR. This will most likely impact the ROD date by 3 months, pushing the
anticipated ROD to July 1999.
4. Building 5 remediation. Eddie Orton of Orton Development, Inc. is in the process of completing
his due diligence on Building 5. He and the ARRA are aware that the Navy will have to remediate
under Building 5. At this point, neither the ARRA nor Mr. Orton think the Navy remediation will
interfere with development plans moving forward. The Navy has prepared a Technical Work
Document and the California Environmental Protection Agency has prepared a Remedial Action
Plan which give a detailed outline of the preferred cleanup action. These documents should be
available in June. Also in June, the Navy will host a public meeting to answer questions about the
cleanup.
The Navy's preliminary remediation plan calls for cleanup in Buildings 5 and 400, where former
painting shops washed phosphorous paint containing radium 226 down sink drains. The cleanup
includes the removal of pipes, waste materials, soils and surfaces contaminated with radium 226.
A section of Taxiway H and Monarch Street (formerly First Avenue) will be excavated to remove
industrial sewer pipe.
5. Alameda Unified School District land needs. The City Manager and ARRA and Community
Development staff are meeting with School District personnel the first week in June to attempt to
bring the AUSD request for property at Alameda Point and FISC to closure. (See May status report
for more detail.)
6. Golf course feasibility study. The study has been delayed by about a month pending final
determination of the actual amount of property in the Northwest Territory. We expect a draft report
on the golf course study to be available by the June BRAG meeting, and it will be presented to the
ARRA Board in July.
7. Refuge size and manageme t plant. The ARRA Board authorized staff to enter into discussions
with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) regarding the size of the Refuge. The issues that
we are discussing in addition to the size have to do with restrictions outside the Refuge area.
The USFWS had expected to have its draft management plan distributed for review by mid -April.
We have recently received the attached letter from Marge Kolar, Refuge Complex Manager,
indicating a delay until August 1998.

Dear Ms. Mill
The purpose o f t his letter is to inform. you of a change in out trhedule for preparing the draft
Comprehensiv: Conservation Plan and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documentation for the
proposed Alameda National Wildlife Refuge.
Our original intention was to release the draft documents for public review in March 1998. However, due
to unforeseen Gircumstaaces, we now plan to mail out the docw a is in August 1998. The problems we
have encountered relate to preparing a management plan for lands we do not yet own, with boundaries that
still appear to be under question.
The Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) normally prepares a short conceptual management plan when it
acquires lands for inclusion in the National Wildlife Refuge System. More detailed management plans (or
Comprehensive Conservation Plans as defined by Congress in the National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Act of 1997) are usually prepared after lands are within the System. The Service chose to
depart from nnrmal procedures for the proposed Alameda National Wildlife Refuge because of intense
community interest in the future management of the area and because we anticipated that a plan for a
comparatively small refuge would be relatively easy to prepare. Unfortunately, the latter has not been the
case_
Dis action oi'the draft documents notwithstanding, I would be happy to meet with you and your staff, as
well as with other groups, in the next few months to discuss the general direction of our proposed plans for
Alameda. I w dl call you to arrange an appropriate meeting dare. I appreciate your interest in our plans for
the proposed Alameda National Wildlife Refuge.

DATE: May 13, 1998
TO: Honorable Members of the

FROM: Dina Tasini
Cooperative Services Manager
RE: Status Report On Northwest Territory and O'Club
Access to Northwest Territory for Recreational Purposes
The Navy will accept and permit access to the Northwest Territory
if the City submits a management plan for operation and management
of the area. The management plan will address safety, security,
liability and protection of the Fish and Wildlife Refuge.
As part of preparation of the plan, staff is analyzing the cost of
preparing the site for public access and continues operation and
maintenance of the area. The preliminary analysis indicates the
following conditions must be remedied prior to opening the site to
the public:
•
removal of existing hazards such as scrap metal and concrete;
filling of holes in grassy areas and roadway;
securing vacant buildings;
• erecting a fence along the roadway to restrict access to the
Fish and Wildlife refuge; and
• removing existing electrical power boxes that are no longer in
use.
These items may result in a cost which will make opening of the
area cost prohibitive. Staff expects to complete the analysis by
the end of the month.

Officers' Club:
The conversion of the Alameda Point Officers' Club into a banquet
and conference center managed by Miraglia Catering has experienced
numerous delays because of required County Health Department code
upgrades, hazardous materials encapsulation by the Navy, roof leaks
and escalating costs of above improvements.
Prior to Navy closure of the O'Club, the City requested access to
this facility to inspect the interior and exterior of the building
and an inspection of the kitchen by the County Health Department.
Permission was denied by the MWR Division. After the fact, the
City conducted the above inspections which confirmed its worst
fears. A roofing consultant's report indicated the roof was in
terrible shape and had been neglected over the years due to a lack
of corrective maintenance. During this year's rain, numerous leaks
have been found in the main lobby, bar area, main dining room,
storage areas and kitchen causing extensive damage. This
information was not disclosed to the City during negotiations to
purchase MWR property and the City is trying to negotiate with the
Navy to make all necessary roof repairs.
After the Health Department completed its inspection of the
kitchen, the City received a seven page report detailing their
concerns and required code upgrades. The City is working with a
kitchen consultant to develop a scope of work and costs estimates
for required work, which must be completed before food can be
prepared in the Club's kitchen. All food catered by Miraglia
Catering is prepared off -site at their San Leandro facility and
delivered to the O'Club in heated containers,.
In March the Navy completed work to encapsulate exposed asbestos
and other hazardous materials.
The City has made the following improvements to the Officers' Club
since last summer. Exterior landscaping clean -up was completed
last summer utilizing personnel from the School District Summer
Youth Employment Training Program. Dangerous and dead trees have
been removed or pruned using the City's fiscal year contractor.
Additional landscaping projects are scheduled for this summer.
Honorable Members of the
Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority
May 13, 1998
Page 3
Interior improvements include the installation of a fire detection
system, building security system, exit and emergency lighting
hardware, replacement of panic bar hardware on all exterior exit
doors and sound doors in the main dining room. Plans for restroom
and handicap accessibility were approved by the City, and a
required ramp was installed along the main entrance to the club.
The Navy has challenged the need for this ramp, and negotiations
are ongoing between the City and Navy to resolve this issue.
The Officers' Club is available for rent as a banquet and
conference facility. Until required code upgrades are completed,
the City will have the responsibility of renting the Club, and
rental revenue will be deposited into General Fund Reserves to
replace money that was advance to fund code upgrades and
improvements to date. Miraglia Catering will provide all food and
beverage service and pay the City a percentage of gross revenues as
specified in their contract, which also will be deposited into
General Fund Reserves. Once all code upgrades are completed,
Miraglia will assume the responsibility for both rentals and
catering.

MAY 0 1 1998
On April 20, 1998, your staff requested that EDA concur with the Alameda Reuse and
Redevelopment Authority's request to renovate buildings 9, 90 and 114 instead of buildings 11,
12 and 400A with the funds from this grant. This letter is EDA's official concurrence with your
request. Except for the substitution of buildings 9, 90 and 114 for buildings 11, 12 and 400A on
the list of buildings to be renovated with these grant funds, all other terms and conditions of the
Financial Assistance Award remain in full force and effect.
Please note that all of the grant terms and conditions apply to the renovations of buildings 9, 90,
and 114 as well as the other buildings to be renovated. This includes compliance with the
environmental special conditions that apply to this grant. To date, EDA has not received SHPO
concurrence and a determination from the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development
Commission that buildings 9, 90, and 114 are not under their jurisdiction. The other
environmental condition that must be satisfied before construction can begin on buildings 9, 90
and 114 is the filing of a "Notice of Determination" in accordance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Please send EDA a copy of your CEQA filing as soon as
possible.
Please contact your project manager, Ken Feldman, if you have any questions. Ken can be
reached at (206) 220 -7691.

Press Release
The USS HORNET (CV -12), one of the most •decorated
Aircraft Carriers in U.S Naval history, has officially been
given a new and exciting mission. This National Historic
Landmark Was 'commissioned in the dark days of WWII, and she fought
with:• unparalleled glory. She served her country again in Vietnam, and
finished her active career by recovering the astronauts from Apollo 11 and
12. Afte '. walking on the moon, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's . first
steps, back• .:ion earth were on the decks of the HORNET.
The . Secretary of the Navy has signed the Donation Contract,
transferring title of . the Hornet to the Aircraft Carrier Hornet Foundation, a
non - .profit...: organization, • formed for the sole purpose of saving this
maginificiit .:sfiip from the scrapper's torch and transforming her into a
world class Air, Sea, and Space. museum.
The Aircraft . Carrier.. Hornet Foundation has been working . diligently
for over. .:three -years .to.'. raise the required funds, submit a satisfactory
applicati n: to the Navy and complete the myriad of • • environmental'
agreement and permits ..required to acquire the Hornet and open :her to
• the . publicr .Hornet was homeported for most of her life in Alameda, and
the Foundation has had the support of the citizens and leaders of the City
of Alameda and the local community. This support was, crucial in
convincing the Navy that the Hornet would be welcome and have a
permanent home in Alameda.

"These: are exciting . times because we are preserving a national
treasure arid the , proud legacy of the Aircraft Carrier Hornet, to share with
current ' and future generations," commented Gerald G. Lutz, Chairman &
CEO: of.: the Aircraft Carrier Hornet Foundation. "This is the success story of
a groupp : oof .dedicated and :talented people, who have persevered to convert
USS- Hornet into a world -class museum while developing an economic
for... the
engine
benefit of ':the local. community."
' The:,'Fouridation intends to • make .the Hornet available for cultural :and
civic events, . overnight programs for youth groups, and educational
prO,gram:s.
The Hornet's presence. at Alameda Point (the former Naval A i r
Station): Will have a profound • economic. impact on the City of Alameda that
has, ':Suffered because of the closing of the .Naval Air Station.. A»' estimated
80(1,.000
'first:
year visitors should generate a demand.. for `goods ' and
services that will ' help jump-start the local economy.
The: Foundation's work now starts in earnest. In . order to open the
Hornet to:':-the: . public: in early August 1998, she will require : a 80 - 90 d a y
comprehensive facelift. Owing that time, a . dedicated group of nearly-. 500
volunteers, : assisted by contractors, will clean, paint, and make safe those .
areas that .w,il %. be opened to the public. Over time, most of the ship will be
available to the public.
