Recommendation to Approve the 2018 Legislative Agenda for the City of Alameda. (City Manager 2110)
All those in favor. That motion carries unanimously. I see. And that's the legislative agenda. And I pulled that because I'd like to consider under transportation. We have a support pedestrian at the second to the last bullet point. Support pedestrian and bike safety. Access improvements throughout the emphasis enabling to get residents to get to BART and I think I'd like I'd like to add and ferries to BART and ferries and other methods of commuting. I think the ferries is significant in regards to how we're trying to facilitate the last mile. So I'm suggesting we add AB and ferries. And then I have one more change. I had asked at the last meeting that we add statewide cannabis banking services and it was added under revenue and taxation. And but I'd like but I'm fine keeping it there, but I want to add it under the public safety and Homeland Security , where there we have protect local funding authority and in the implementation of the Adult Use of Marijuana Act. And I'd like to add there, including statewide cannabis banking services, because to me it really is a public safety issue, not so much revenue and taxation. So those were my two suggestions on that. Vice Mayor. I, I have no problem adding mayors to suggestions. One other piece of legislation that has recently been taken up by the legislature has to do with transparency in medical costs and insurance costs. And I think as an employer, that's something we should be supportive of because that will help us with our costs. So we could add that. Under Health and Human Services. Yes. Member Ashcraft. Thank you. And so I believe staff may already be pursuing this, but this is some pending legislation. AB 3037 sponsored by David Chu of San Francisco, would recreate a version of redevelopment to set aside billions of dollars in property taxes each year for local economic development and affordable housing. And so under redevelopment, I would like us to to be sure to pursue supporting that pending legislation. So I'm not sure about pending. I'm I'm not actually sure. But pending legislation that is. Well over the year. I think if you read the I think it falls well within this staff report because under redevelopment there at the top of page three, it says support legislative efforts commonly referred to as redevelopment 2.0. So provide a funding mechanism and other strategies to promote economic development. I read that laudable. And middle, I know, but the public might not have in middle income housing programs. So I'm just saying let's support that. Place. Where it seems like that's currently listed as as a bill that we would be supportive of. And I think you're just giving a specific bill. Well, I think it's recently come up, so I want to make sure that that's covered. Okay. So with Davis, because this has support the implementation of state housing bills and so usually something new. And different. Structure, what the terms. Are that. It's a different section. It's under the redevelopment section. Yeah. That was already. Yeah that is. Right. That's right. I think it's I think it's in compliant. She just listed a specific bill title. All right. So then with those, come back to us with those suggested changes and then on consent again. Or we going to improve. It with those changes. We want to. Make. I'll make a motion to approve the legislative. Agenda. Legislative agenda for 2018 for the city of Alameda with the amendments by. The. Council tonight. All those in favor. I. Motion carries unanimously. Thank you. Okay. And then I also pulled five f. Adoption resolution confirming a ground Lester's consent, an estoppel certificate authorizing the city manager to execute documents necessary to implement the terms of the ground Lester's consent and establish it and some arena doing business grammar.
