4. ACTION ITEMS
4 -A. Report from the Director of Development Services Director regarding the Master
Developer presentations.
Chair Appezzato announced that this would be an opportunity for the three candidates to address
questions and concerns raised by Board members at the meeting of July 19, 2001. Each
candidate will have 30 minutes, and the order has been selected at random.
Alameda Point Community Partners (APCP) was represented by Thom Gamble, president,
1
who provided Board members with written responses to the questions previously raised. He
stressed the importance of a partnership between APCP and the community through extensive
community input in the planning process and active community involvement going forward. Lori
Feldberg, lead planner, discussed their vision of creating a well- rounded community where
people live, work, shop and play, with small neighborhoods connected by pedestrian and bicycle
paths. Housing plans include single - family homes plus affordable senior apartments, loft -style
live /work units, and residential above retail. There will be a multi -modal transit hub in the
marina area, plus a large park along the water, in addition to numerous active parks and
greenbelts throughout the development. Rob Richardson, vice president of APCP, focused on
early conveyance and environmental remediation, APCP's relationship with labor, and
transportation plans. He stressed early investment of substantial capital for remediation, as they
have done at McClellan AFB, where they will have invested $40 million by year -end and have
created over 6,000 jobs and leased over 3 million square feet. They will also indemnify the City
during the remediation process through their insurance coverage. He stated that all the
companies making up APCP already have strong partnerships with labor unions, and they
anticipate reaching agreements prior to beginning any work at Alameda Point. Regarding
transportation needs, they ruled out light rail as an option because of inconvenient BART access
and difficult right -of -way issues. Their multi -modal transportation hub includes ferries,
expanded bus service, an estuary- crossing gondola, bicycles and auto parking. APCP's $45
million equity will pay for the hub. They have already met with the Port of Oakland and City of
Oakland and have established good relationships for going forward with ferry, bus and gondola
service. Eric Kaplan, partner at Morgan Stanley, summarized APCP's qualifications and
financial resources.
Harbor Bay /Lennar was introduced by Kevin Hanson, senior vice president. He stressed the
company's long -term track record of working with the City of Alameda at Harbor Bay. They
also have experience working with governmental agencies in military base conversions and early
transfers. They have completed the first commercial early transfer of a base in the U.S. (Mare
Island). A representative of CH2M/Hill discussed the challenges of early transfer (environ-
mental, financial, governmental), and explained that his company separates the community from
the risks of environmental responsibility through full corporate indemnification. He stressed
their prior experience with the entire process necessary to achieve early transfer. A transporta-
tion engineer discussed their transit plan for the development, including expanded bus service,
ferries, light rail, and BART service to Lake Merritt and Fruitvale stations. Mr. Hanson
presented slides of new designs for several current areas.
Catellus Development Corporation was represented by CEO Nelson Rising, who focused their
presentation on responses to questions raised at the previous meeting. He said their vision
incorporates Alameda Point into the City of Alameda through their transportation plan, as well as
complimentary architecture and landscaping plans. They anticipate continued community
rapport, which they have already cultivated through their FISC development planning process.
He stressed Catellus' ability to provide financial, environmental, commercial, and residential
expertise in a singular package. Peter Laurner focused on residential requirements encompassing
affordable and market rate housing, as well as senior housing units. They will integrate the
2
Collaborative units into their overall housing plan, including addressing landscaping and
maintenance needs. They also will help fund the Collaborative's community center and daycare
center. They have extensive prior experience with environmental remediation and early transfer,
including Mission Bay in San Francisco and the FISC development, as well as negotiating
experience with the necessary governmental agencies. Early transfer is complete at FISC and the
clean -up is on schedule. They anticipate 12 months for early transfer and 36 months for most of
the remediation at Alameda Point. There was a meeting today with the School District regarding
anticipated schooling needs at both FISC and Alameda Point, and a mitigation agreement is
being formulated. Funding will be provided by assessments included in housing prices. Dan
Marcus addressed historic preservation, which will include tourist and education attractions.
They have met with and support the Hornet and Air Museum and have pledged financial support
to both. Their plan calls for more residential and less commercial development than the other
three plans, but they will market to high -tech and biotech firms which are high property tax
generators. They also plan less retail development, so as not to adversely impact current
businesses on Park and Webster Streets. However, they plan more cultural, educational and civic
uses than the other plans. Catellus' vision for residential development will produce a boost to the
property tax revenues (approximately $14 million at full build -out). A transportation consultant
outlined how they would connect Alameda to the regional transportation system via bus or light
rail connections to BART, enhanced ferry service, and local feeder systems. Funding could be
provided by separate intermodal transportation agreements.
Chair Appezzato announced that a matrix will be developed by City staff which summarizes the
three candidates' proposals and will be available for public review on August 3rd. The master
developer selection will be made at a special ARRA meeting on August 9'
The public hearing was opened.
Bob Haslam represented the West Oakland Commerce Association, which plans to convert the
West Oakland BART station into a "transportation village ". He suggested working with the City
of Oakland, Port of Oakland and the Coast Guard on transportation solutions.
Robert Leste endorsed APCP because of their passion, vision and personal commitment needed
to complete the project.
Don Peterson urged the selection of APCP because they have the best development plan.
Marilyn York, representing the Alameda Naval Air Museum, invited the public to visit the
Museum to see the history of Alameda Point.
Steve Lowe, vice president of West Oakland Commerce Association, encouraged whichever
developer that is chosen to implement the aerial tramway proposal.
Charles Ward, member of the Economic Development Commission, endorsed APCP because of
their innovative transportation plans.
3
Kurt Bohan expressed concern that the public has not been adequately informed about the
developers' proposals and that Catellus plans to destroy many of the historic buildings and boat
ramps.
Hugh McKay also expressed concern about preservation of the historic areas and recommended
Harbor Bay /Lennar.
Barry Luboviski, secretary /treasurer of the Building & Constructions Trades Council, endorsed
Catellus and Harbor Bay /Lennar because they have already met with the union. They have
reached a labor agreement with Catellus and are negotiating with Harbor Bay.
Marina Secchitano of the Inland Boatmen's Union urged the reward of the master developer
contract to Harbor Bay /Lennar because of their current successful operation of the Harbor Bay
ferry service and their plans for a regional ferry service.
Nick Cabral endorsed APCP because of what they have already accomplished at the former
McClellan AFB.
Andy Lee, representing the Hotel & Restaurant Workers' Union, expressed hope that whichever
developer is selected, if a hotel or restaurant is part of the plan, they will offer the employees the
option of being unionized. He also stated that only Harbor Bay and Catellus have met with the
union.
Thomas Mercer of the Hornet Foundation indicated that the Foundation has met with all of the
developer candidates, and they have found that Catellus has been most responsive to their
interest in preserving the historical legacy of the Navy and the Hornet.
Robert Wolf, former California Transportation Undersecretary, endorsed Catellus because of
their multi -modal approach to transportation needs and their funding plans.
Sam Swan recommended APCP because of their outstanding development team and their track
record on projects throughout the state.
Melissa Harris, local small business owner, expressed concern about the commercial space in
the developers' plans and recommended Catellus because they propose the least commercial
space, creating less competition with existing businesses on the West End.
Bobby Winston, editor of Bay Crossings, stressed the importance of ferry service in new
development at Alameda Point, and endorsed Harbor Bay/Lennar because of their previous ferry
experience.
Michael Vernetti indicated how important it will be to have adequate housing options and
endorsed Catellus because their proposal calls for the most housing units.
4
Jon Spangler represents Bike Alameda, which has met with Catellus and APCP and feels both
of these candidates have workable transportation plans in their proposals. They endorse Catellus
because their plan better integrates Alameda Point into the community.
John Huetter is president of the West Alameda Business Association, which met with all three
candidates. The Association recommends Catellus because their proposal reflects the
Association's vision for the development of the West Alameda area.
Mike Dunlap opined that all of the proposals that have been presented will be changed when
development actually begins.
Bill Stremmel endorsed Catellus because of their efficient transportation plan and increased
housing units.
Sam Koka endorsed APCP.
Kevin Lee supported APCP because of their innovative plans.
Richard Neveln, member of the West Oakland Advisory Board, criticized Catellus for not
preserving historic buildings at FISC and endorsed APCP because of their aerial tram proposal.
Vickie Smith hoped that the parks in the new development areas will be available to all West
End residents.
Leslie Medine endorsed Catellus because she has had good working relationships with them as
they have assisted the HOME Project.
The public hearing was closed for Authority discussion.
Chair Appezzato thanked all of the developers and speakers. He acknowledged that all of the
proposals are general concepts and that there will be many changes as development moves
forward.
Member Kerr thanked the developers for the time they spent with the Board members, especially
the tours of their existing projects. She stated that the City will own the land briefly before it is
transferred to the developer, and the public benefits that are promised will affect the land price
that is paid to the City. She hopes that the public benefit agreements are negotiated separately
and not incorporated into the design and development agreement.
Member DeWitt received responses from all the developers to the questions he had raised at the
previous meeting. He visited Hamilton Field, Mission Bay, and McClellan AFB. He has a
concern about the large parking structure proposed by APCP at their transportation hub and is
uncertain about the IMAX entertainment area proposed on the Hornet.
5
Member Daysog thanked the developers for their written responses to the Board's previous
questions, and also thanked City staff and consultants for all their work during the screening and
selection process. He stressed the importance of resolving the potential traffic issues and
appreciated the alternative solutions proposed by the developers.
Member Johnson also thanked the developers and the selection team members, and
acknowledged the efforts of the Alameda Point Advisory Committee in the last eight years. She
stressed the importance of integrating Alameda Point into the rest of the community, as well as
remediation, clean-up and early transfer of the property.
Chair Appezzato thanked City staff for their input throughout the selection process and reiterated
that it will be a difficult decision to make because all of the developers' proposals are excellent.
5. ORAL REPORTS
5 -A. Oral report from Alameda Point Advisory Committee.
Lee Perez, Chair of the APAC, said that the APAC is very interested in the ARRA Board's
selection of the master developer. The APAC would like to be involved in the street naming at
both the FISC and Alameda Point as they are developed.
6. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS, NON - AGENDA (PUBLIC COMMENT)
Kurt Bohan stated that, although the Encinal Boat Ramp is very nice and generally functional in
its present configuration, the roadway leading to it is quite narrow and somewhat dangerous for
maneuvering large boats. He suggested using an adjacent parking lot for a dry marina and boat
storage area.
7. COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE GOVERNING BODY
Member Kerr reminded everyone that Sunday, August 5', is the Firefighters Annual Breakfast to
raise money for the Burn Foundation. Chair Appezzato also mentioned the Art & Wine Festival

Alameda Point and authorization to prepare and enter into an Exclusive
Negotiating Agreement.
Chair Appezzato announced that one developer, Harbor Bay/Lennar, has withdrawn from the

Executive Director Doug Yount thanked the ARRA Board for their diligent review of the
volumes of information they have been given, the Selection Team for the many hours they spent,
City staff (particularly the Development Services staff), the consultants, the developer teams, and
the community for their input throughout the process. He then summarized the ten -month
selection process, which will culminate in selection of the master developer at this meeting. This

Appezzato with the NAID (National Association of Installation Developers) 2001 Award for
Excellence for Marketing Special Purpose Brochures in the RFP and RFQ Process. Once the

the Hornet and Navy history.
Gerald Lutz, CEO of the Hornet Foundation, endorsed Catellus because of their preservation

Point.
Nick Cabral felt that APCP will take into consideration all of the requests and recommendations

Bonnie Crowe endorsed Catellus because of their financial structure, which protects the City, as

The public hearing was closed for Authority discussion.
Chair Appezzato thanked all of the speakers for their input. He reiterated that this is a very
difficult decision because both developers are well - qualified for the project.
Member Daysog thanked the community, consultants, volunteers, staff and developers. He
stressed the importance of considering budgetary constraints, transportation concerns, and
housing needs in the selection process. He felt that Catellus addresses all of these concerns
better than APCP. There is greater cost - saving for the City in Catellus' financing plan, with half
of the debt incurred by the City under APCP's plan. Catellus has already established good
rapport with the community and Collaborative through their development at FISC.
Member Kerr stated that one of the most decisive factors was touring the developers' current
projects. APCP's marketing team at McClellan has been very aggressive in attracting tenants
and generating income for the local community, while the FISC property has not changed much
in the last five years. She assumes that all of the best transportation ideas will be incorporated
from the various plans; they are not "developer- specific ". She does not feel that Catellus
understands what type of housing fits in Alameda.
5
Member Johnson agreed that the site tours were very helpful in reaching her decision. She also
felt that the selection process achieved its goal of soliciting community input, which will
continue throughout the development process. She stressed the importance of integrating
Alameda Point into the rest of the community and honoring the history of the area. She feels the
most important factor in reaching the decision is the business plan, including the financial
package, rather than the development plan itself.
Member DeWitt thanked both developers for their input and interest in the project. He carefully
considered the criteria outlined in the matrix. He acknowledged that Catellus has demonstrated a
strong commitment to the community, but APCP has better organizational and financial
capabilities.
Chair Appezzato stated his selection was based on a very few fine points which he felt
distinguished one team from the other.
Chair Appezzato asked for a roll call vote on the selection of the master developer for
Alameda Point. The vote was as follows:
Member Kerr:
Member Daysog:
Member Johnson:.
Member DeWitt:
Chair Appezzato:

Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority
Interoffice Memorandum
August 30, 2001
To: The Honorable Chair and Members
of the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority
From: Doug Yount, Director
Development Services Department
2 -C
Subject: Recommendation to Adopt a Resolution Approving the Transfer of the Electrical
Utility Distribution System located at Alameda Point to the City of Alameda
Background:
By application, dated October 1997, Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority (ARRA)
requested conveyance of portions of NAS Alameda through an Economic Development Conveyance
(EDC) pursuant to DBCRA §2905(b)(4), as amended by the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2000. The application encompasses land and improvements comprising a portion of
NAS, and also requests the transfer of all personal property situated thereon. The Government
conveyed certain portions of NAS to ARRA under the MOA on July 17, 2000.
Discussion:
On July 31, 2001, the Government transferred, by Bill of Sale, the electrical utility distribution system
located at Alameda Point to the ARRA at no cost. Alameda Power and Telecom (AP &T) has
maintained the system since October, 1996. By turning over the distribution systems at Alameda
Point, AP &T will be able to plan and budget for the operation and maintenance of this system similar
to the city -wide distribution system. This will result in a cost reduction to the ARRA of
approximately $40,000 per month. In order for AP &T to own and operate the system, ARRA must
transfer the system to the City of Alameda. The attached resolution provides for the necessary
transfer.
Fiscal Impact:
A savings to ARRA of $40,000 per month in operating costs and $4 - 5,000 annual pumping costs.
AP &T will have a potential disposal cost for 38 oil - containing transformer units, and clean -up of a
transformer storage site. These costs will not exceed $100,000.
The Honorable Chair and Members
of the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority
Recommendation:
August 30, 2001
Page 2
It is recommended that the ARRA Board approve the transfer of the Electrical Utility Distribution
System to the City of Alameda.
