MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE
ALAMEDA REUSE AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
Wednesday, September 1, 2004
The meeting convened at 5:53 p.m. with Mayor Johnson presiding.
1. ROLL CALL
Present: Beverly Johnson, Mayor, City of Alameda
Tony Daysog, Boardmember, City of Alameda (Member Daysog arrived at 6:15 p.m.)
Frank Matarrese, Boardmember, City of Alameda
Marie Gilmore, Boardmember, City of Alameda
Absent: Barbara Kerr, Boardmember, City of Alameda
2. CONSENT CALENDAR
2-A. Recommendation to approve a 20-year lease agreement with Nelson's Marine for Building
167.
Terence Cox, attorney representing four Bay Area boatyards presented an exhibit describing the
proposed five year increases and the dollar totals. He did not believe that the rental rate of one-fifth of
what other boatyards were paying was fair to the competition or the taxpayers in terms of losing a
potential $34 million of revenue.
Paul Benoit noted that the ARRA contracts with PM Realty to manage the day-to-day leasing activities
at Alameda Point. David Jaber, PM Realty and Mike Dunn, who was hired with the approval of
Nelson Marine, performed a market rent survey, which consisted of examining industrial properties
and comps around the Bay Area. Mr. Jaber advised that when the appraisal was concluded, they met
with Nelson Marine and negotiated the final terms of the lease.
Member Matarrese inquired whether the $34 million figure was a valid number, and suggested that the
item be continued until the validity of those numbers could be tested. He suggested bringing the item
back to the Board in one month.
Member Gilmore agreed with Member Matarrese’s suggestion, and believed that more information on
those issues would be a crucial factor in their decision.
Member Matarrese would like the in-town comps to be weighted more heavily in relation to the out-of-
town comps. He did not have any problem with all of Alameda’s boatyards having a competitive
advantage over other cities, especially if the percentage of revenues were to be factored in.
Member Matarrese motioned to continue this item to the next meeting for consideration by the
full ARRA Board. The motion was seconded by Member Gilmore and passed by the following
voice vote: Ayes-3; Noes-0; Abstentions-0; Absent-2.

3. PRESENTATION
3-A. Presentation/update on Alameda Point Navy Negotiations and Land Use Planning.
Stephen Proud, Alameda Point Project manager, provided an update on the conversations and
negotiations with the Navy, as well as the land planning process. He noted that they had been working
with the Navy to develop a “Base Case” Land Use Plan, to determine the possibilities from a land
planning perspective, given the existing constraints of the property. There was discussion about historic
preservation.
Mr. Proud displayed a slide outlining the key land use planning activities, and noted that they met
weekly with ROMA and the technical consultants. Mayor Johnson advised that she received very
positive feedback from some Planning Board members.
Mr. Proud noted that the first community workshop was well-attended, and noted that Member Kerr
had also attended. He estimated that over 60 members of the public were at the workshop, in addition
to staff and consultants.
Mayor Johnson advised that there was a good turnout, consisting mainly of people already focused on
the Base. She would like to see more general community attendance, and suggested that a more central
location may be a way to attract them. Mr. Proud noted that they were working on a time/location
combination to capture a greater cross-section of the community.
