Final Passage of Ordinance Amending Alameda Municipal Code Chapter XXVII, Section 27-3 (Citywide Development Fees) and Approving City of Alameda Development Impact Fees Update and Nexus Study, dated June 2019. (City Manager 2110)
We want to get out of here the same night we started, remember? And we're still on consent calendar people. Okay, so then we move to our last consent calendar item, which is five P and I pulled this item because I have gotten some questions I'm going to ask our recreation parks director, Amy Wooldridge. There she is if she would come up. I've had some questions about why the golf course was not a part of the recent Fisher study that the council considered. Since this is the final passage of our ordinance amending the the fee update. Absolutely. Thank you, Mayor. As the Ashcraft Amy Wooldridge, Interim Assistant City Manager, Recreation and Parks Director. Yes, it's true. Creek a park is a public park amenity and it's open to the public for a fee. We did in this process we look very carefully at this. We considered including it, but given that it would have significantly increased the development impact fee because it's nearly it's several hundred acres, we were being intentionally cautious and conservative by not including it. It doesn't mean that we shouldn't include other athletic fields. Close that door, please. Thank you. It doesn't mean we shouldn't include other athletic facilities, such as soccer fields. And part of it was that we considered it a specialized amenity. And again, we were aiming to be careful and cautious in our analysis. And we given that we have dozens of something like a soccer field or a baseball field and one creek, a park . We we were aiming to be careful in our analysis. Okay. I appreciate that. Is any explanation. Thank you. Does anyone have any further questions or need for clarification? Okay. So hearing none, do I have a motion to approve the final passage of this ordinance removed? We do a motion and act as second.
