Adoption of a Resolution Supporting the 2016 Alameda County Affordable Housing Bond Measure (Anticipated 23 Year Parcel Tax Measure). (Community Development 266)
Five An adoption resolution supporting the 2016 Alameda County affordable housing bond measure. So I also asked for this item to be pulled and to be placed on our on our agenda tonight. But we did hear from Linda McCarthy, from the director of Alameda County Housing Department. And so what I'm asking of our council is an adoption of a resolution, unanimous resolution supporting this 2016 Alameda County affordable housing bond measure . And we heard a discussion. We saw a presentation, and we have more material in our packet. So moved. Second. All right. And I want to I think that you make the motion, remember? I just said that I pulled the item. That's why you made the motion. Oh, yes. Yeah. All right. Then he made the barrier. Yes, I can remember already. Second. I had also pulled this item. And I think it's very important to pull it so that we can speak specifically to this item. I wanted to commend our supervisors, our county supervisors, including our Wilma Chan, for all of their efforts to make this happen. And I think it's critical that this actually be a county measure. And that's what this is. It isn't just about our city. This is to address issues across our county, which I think is critical. So and I also appreciate the presentation and then I always do like to share what the cost is, but see out at the end of the day. It's 12 to $14 estimated per 100,000 assessed value, which, depending upon the value of the home, would be anywhere from maybe 50 to or five, 50, 50 to $100. A year per. Piece of property, which I think is actually money very well spent. Given where we are in this area at this time. That being said. I would just add to that, Mayor Spencer, it is a way that, you know, one of our earlier speakers said that in Alameda, we help each other. And this is a way that we we help each other. And we're going to hear an item tonight in just a little while. I'm just 60 about the collaboration and consolidation of the parcels for our Alameda Point Collaborative and others. And I confirmed with staff earlier this project would be eligible to apply for these funds. So as the Vice Mayor and I know from 16 years ago, getting a library 20 years ago, getting a library bond past six years ago , you've you've got to start you've got to get those funds and then you start leveraging them. So this is step one. Everybody, I think my council is going to pass it unanimously. And I'm looking to all you voters in Alameda to do the same. I want to reiterate that it takes two thirds to pass, two thirds plus one, which is a very, very high bar. So you can think about it and then hopefully join us and help spread the word. Call the question. All those in favor. Motion carries unanimous. Good work. That's five.
