Final passage of ordinance approving a disposition and development agreement and related documents between the City of Alameda and Alameda Point Partners for a development in only two point. All right. Ken Petersen is our speaker on that. So did you want to come up and speak on five H. That's the. On site a this is the second. Yes. Yes, it's for the final passage. We voted on it at the last fact. There's two speakers after computers. Then we have Michael McDonagh. If there's anyone else that wants to speak on five, please turn on your slip at this point. Mr. Peterson. Thanks. By the way, just one little comment on the budget issue. The interim city manager, the city manager had a nice presentation and made some suggestions earlier in the presentation of the budget that would be helpful in conserving finances and helping us prepare for the future. And I think practically none, maybe none of the recommendations were actually taken and the council went and took other spending measures in the case of the of the site, a development. I was very impressed by the presentation that the developer made about six months ago. In some regards, they had some concerns about things that came from the meetings and that is a particularly I raised a number of questions in one of the forums that I think that hasn't been raised before or they're pretty obvious. Some of the issues had to do with such things as the question of what the value of the new housing would be in relieving the pressures upon the businesses and the employees, or housing or upon the housing needs of the city and the general area. After we talked about it, I said I didn't understand how that was going to work when they're going to compete, but people are going to compete for the housing with everybody else in the General Bay area. How that could actually help. And we agreed that it wouldn't really necessarily. Do much. But it was a matter perhaps of a wishful thinking or perhaps, as I recall from one of the senators, famous senators, to borrow this term. Well, we wouldn't fool the. And it won't fool me. We'll just fool the guys behind the tree as to how things work. That's true about a lot of development matters, what we call the enduring myths of development. And I think is sometime perhaps by a council members referral as somewhere we ought to talk about some of these things and put them to rest, get them out and see them, put them in the in the open era and put them to rest things that are not true, things that are repeated over and over again, or at least at best, partial truths and very misleading. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. McDonough. And he's the last speaker on this item. Good evening, mayor and council members and staff. Michael McDonough, Alameda Chamber President. Just wanted to reiterate the Chamber's support for the project side. Thank you for voting in unanimously at the last meeting for this project. I'm sure based on overwhelming support by the community and based on the infrastructure, the jobs, the fact that we'll be able to attract new businesses. The Chamber, as you know, supports this measure greatly and urge you to continue your yes vote tonight. Thank you. All right, counsel. Any comments? One emotion. Emotion of. Approval. You're removing approval. Second. I did you. Secondly, Jim. All right. So there's a second. Are there any comments? Nebraska? No. Did we have a second? Yes. Yes. A member already seconded. I'd like to share that. For those of you who I would encourage people to go back and watch the tape of the last meeting where we discussed. The point. And when we took the vote, I think the council, we asked very good questions and this project evolved. It was not the same, but we approved is not what was initially brought to us. There were what I'm going to call concessions and changes made in response to community members comments as well as staff and council members. So the project did evolve and furthermore the project will continue to evolve. There is much work to be done. So I would encourage anyone with any interest in this project to stay involved in the process. There will be many more meetings to come at the planning board level primarily, is my understanding. And so. So please do not think that we're done. And I I'm confident from the comments made by Mr. Joe Ernst that he will continue to work with the community. So please stay involved. Express your concerns and comments as this project moves forward so that we end up with a project that best meets the needs of Alameda . Thank you. And with that all those in favor. I motion passes unanimously. Six, eh? Oh, that's. Sorry. That's the one that was deferred. And until July 21st, that's the Del Monte Affordable Housing six.
