Adoption of Resolution Appointing John Nolan as a Member of the Civil Service Board and Brendan Sullivan-Seriñana as a Tenant Member of the Rent Review Advisory Committee.
A adoption of resolutions, appointing John Nolan as a member of the Civil Service Board and Brandon Sullivan not as a member of the B Advisory Committee. We're going to. Recess. We're going to call for. We needed a short recess because we had a member of the public requiring medical assistance. So we took a short recess and now we will resume with item six, a. The adoption of resolutions, appointing John Nolan as a member of the Civil Service Board and Brennan following the Yana as a tenant member of the Rent Review Advisory Committee. And we do have a speaker. On this item. Katherine Pauline. Hello. I'm Katherine Pauling of the Alameda Renters Coalition. I want to thank you all for the work that you're doing and also to acknowledge, apparently that our newest renter representative is someone other than an attorney or a realtor. And we're very grateful. We want to. Have that. Representation. And I understand at this point there's only going to be one member going forward for the landlord side. I'm Tony Nguyen. And I'm. I'm also hoping that I understand a lot of work and effort has gone. Into the. Rack and the idea of the advisory role and that we've. Had a year. Of both tenants and landlords hoping this would work. Unfortunately, landlords obviously, as shown by the 470 central residents, are not able to completely police their own. And so, again, I'm very grateful that you're going forward with the moratorium and continuing to work on a more permanent solution. So thank. You. Thank you. She was our only speaker on the item. Better. Maybe I'd like to move. Adoption. A resolution appointing Mr. Nolan as member of Civil Service Board and Mr. Brendan Sullivan Sarafina as tenant member of the Rent Review Advisory Committee. We have a second. Well, I'm going to second, but I also want to make a comment that so we have a second to the motion. I have already come to realize that. I think we're moving into some new territory with our landlord tenant situation in Alameda and that having a body that is simply advisory and has, as we've said over and over, no teeth is just not effective in today's the situation that we find ourselves in. So it will be up to the council when we convene again at the to hear what staff has put together based on our recommendations on the moratorium and rent stabilization and more to decide what sort of form or what sort of body might hear landlord tenant disputes. And my preference would certainly be something that actually has authority and probably an actual professional mediator. So but right now before us, we have these appointments and I do appreciate the two members of the community coming forward and volunteering their time. And I imagine we may have a December agenda before the city council comes back. So with that, I will second this motion. Although some favor. I oppose motion passes unanimously. Thank you very much. Yeah. If. I'm John Nolan, and I want to thank the mayor and the council for this appointment. I just wanted to make a comment that I worked in the Human Resources Department for the city of Alameda for 18 years, and the day after I left was September 10th, 2001. And now this. Appointment at following the French catastrophe. I have no connection with either of those, and I assure you, I'll do my best. Thank you. Thank you very much. Hello. My name is Brendan Sullivan. Thank you for confirming me. I just want. To say that I'll do my best. I know the difference between. Your job and. Mine and advocacy and policy. I'll do my best to uphold that. And my family's been in Alameda for quite some time. My mother knew. But I consider myself an Alameda and. All my best. Okay. Thank you very much. Right now we're on item six de. I believe we're going to jump to 60. So would you consider amendment to fiscal year 28 through 15 Community Development BLOCK Grant Action Plans and authorize the city manager to negotiate and execute related documents, agreements and modifications? Good evening, Mayor, Council members and staff. My name is Claudia Young and I am with the Housing Authority of the City of Alameda. So the city of Alameda is an entitlement city with community development block grants, which are federal funds by the Housing and Urban Development. Each year, the city receives an allocation of approximately $1 million. To receive the CDBG funding, the city has to submit a HUD annual action plan detailing the programs and activities that will address the needs identified in the city's approved five year consolidated plan. When the action plan is approved. The City Council includes these programs and activities and associated funding amounts for the fiscal year. If a program or activity is canceled or does not use the total funding allocation, the remaining funds are carried forward to the next fiscal year. Until these funds are specifically reprogramed, the grant year remains open. Tonight's item is a standard midyear adjustment, since accounting rules have changed. At HUD, it's important to not have leftover funds remaining in the previous years. Staff is recommending adjustments to make sure that funds are expended in a timely manner. In front of you. You have exhibit A, which is the proposed REPROGRAMING and step is here to answer any questions. Amber Ashcroft. Well, if people don't have questions, I was just going to move approval. I'd like to ask a staff could show that attachment on what's on the screen to the audience. Can see when you get it. I've. And if you could briefly show what the discussed this specifically discuss the changes and then that pops up. Walk us through it. Thank you. In the first column you'll see each year and the remaining funds for that year. So that's cumulative of various activities or programs that did not move forward or had money left, left over at the end. So in the first section you'll see for 1516 there are $6,753. And those are the proposals to allocate them to public services. And there is four agencies that are already receiving funding for this year. So we would augment what they have already received and you'll see the amounts all the way to the right column. The second item is for the year of 1112. We have 21,000 $974,000. And we're proposing to allocate the funds to a capital improvement project for the Alameda Parks and Recreation for the Woodstock Park Daub Rehab project. The third is clearance activities, and it's a combination of 2008, 2011, 2013 and 2014 program year funds. And we're proposing clearance activities for North Housing, which is the 13 acres out at the base. And that's going to be for for demolition of some of the buildings and some clearance activities. And the last item is, in the year 1415, we have 33,000 left over in residential rehabilitation funds for another specific category. So we would like to move those funds over specifically for the residential rehab program. And then could you describe the four agencies up at the top and the dollar amount? Just name them. Alameda Food Bank Building Futures. Women and Children. Legal Assistance for Seniors. Family Violence Law Center. Thank you. All right. So we have a motion. I was about to make. A motion that. We? We authorized the interim city manager to negotiate and execute related documents, agreements and modifications. With regard to the amendments to fiscal years 28 through 2015. Community Development BLOCK. Grant Action Plans. I'll second. You. Discussion Council comments. All those in favor. The motion carries unanimously. Thank you very much. Now we're on item six B. And this one will be only considering one of the two resolutions due to a resignation from Karen Lucas that was distributed at the desk tonight. So it is only adoption of resolution. To consider it is appointing renewing as a member of the rent review advisory committee to a two year term beginning. And it would be tonight, November 17th, 2015. We have a motion.
