They were sworn in by the City Clerk. Committee Appointments. The Council appointed themselves to various committees. Regarding committees staffed by the Community Development Department, the Council appointed Councilmember Bauters as liaison to the Housing Committee (the committee had not previously had a Council liaison), and converted two seats on the Housing Committee from Community Representatives to Business Representatives, one effective immediately and one effective June 30, 2019. Building Division Consultant Contract. The Council approved a first amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with West Coast Code Consultants (WC3) for fiscal year 2018- 2019 for plan checking and field inspection services. The amendment added $1,198,893 to the contract to cover expanded services for projects not previously included, for a total amount not to exceed $2,255,847. The Council also made corresponding appropriations to the Building Division expenditure and revenue budgets for fiscal year 2018-2019. Winter Shelter. The Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Oakland to fund the 2018-2019 Winter Shelter in an amount not to exceed $30,000 and appropriating $15,000 from the Affordable Housing Fund to the fiscal year 2018-19 Economic Development and Housing Division budget for Homeless Programs to cover the expense. December 18 Emery Go-Round Watergate Express Grant. The Council appropriated $238,819 from the Grant Fund to the “Emery Go-Round Watergate Express Service 2018” project to implement funding agreements with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and the Emeryville Transportation Management Association for Emery Go-Round Watergate Express service in calendar year 2018. 40th Street Concept Plan. The Council reviewed plans for the redesign of 40th Street from the Oakland border east of Adeline Street to the IKEA entrance, prepared in response to their direction at the October 16 Council meeting. The plan includes a two-way bikeway on the north side of the street created by removing parking, and two bus-only lanes: an eastbound lane created by narrowing travel lanes and the median, and a westbound lane created by converting a mixed-flow lane to bus-only. The Council approved the plans with one set of changes: reconfiguring the median between Horton and Hubbard Streets to eliminate the left turn lane from 40th Street into the Target parking lot opposite Hubbard Street and to lengthen the left turn lane from 40th Street into Horton Street. Staff and consultants will now prepare a traffic analysis, detailed cost estimates, and a final concept plan that can be used for grant applications. December 2018 Progress Report • Community Development Department | 3 PLANNING COMMISSION The Planning Commission considered the following items at its December 13 meeting: Decathlon Signs. The Commission unanimously approved a Major Sign Permit for one illuminated wall sign, one non-illuminated monument sign, and three illuminated signs on the tower structure for Decathlon sporting goods in the former Toys “R” Us building at 3938 Horton Street in the East BayBridge Shopping Center. Telecommunication Facilities Regulations Amendments. The Commission unanimously voted to recommend City Council approval of amendments to the Planning Regulations to make approvals of Wireless Communication Facilities subject to the Zoning Compliance Review process. This was necessitated by a recent Federal Communications Commission ruling that shortens the “shot-clock” for such approvals to 60 days. The item is scheduled to be considered by the City Council on January 15. Marketplace Redevelopment Project, “Parcel B”. The Commission held a study session to consider a new Final Development Plan (FDP) for “Parcel B” of the Marketplace Redevelopment Project Planned Unit Development to replace the previous FDP that was approved by the Planning Commission on June 23, 2016. The previously approved FDP included 26,000 square feet of retail space and 300 parking spaces. The proposed new FDP includes 14,000 square feet of retail space, 150,000 square feet of office/lab space, and 565 parking spaces. The Commission generally like the proposal, particularly the use of industrial vernacular, and agreed that the revised project for Parcel B was consistent with the approved Planned Unit Development for the Public Market.

  • Hitchcock's Rope As an Auditory Adaptation of Poe's
    Sheridan 1 Joshlin Sheridan Dr. Perry English 495 19 December 2017 The Guilty Fray of Sound in Rope: Hitchcock’s Rope as an Auditory Adaptation of Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” Casual film watchers might not give as much heed to a film’s score and sound effects as to its plot and visual effects. However, sound plays an integral role in the way emotions of a story are portrayed and atmosphere is created. According to director Alfred Hitchcock, "careful use of sound can help strengthen the intensity of a situation" (qtd. in Cox and Neumeyer 19). Hearing, although perhaps not as intriguing to the casual viewer, has a “privileged place within embodied film theory” (Elliot 143) because, as viewers, we are faced with physical sound waves that “can be an insidious means of affective and semantic manipulation. [working] on us directly, physiologically” as well as influencing our perception (qtd. in Elliot 143). Whether there is a soundtrack, dialogue, or the sound of silence, the viewer is engulfed in an auditory world. However, in literature, sound usually does not hold as privileged a position. Although literal sound effects are found in stories, and there are literary terms such as onomatopoeia to classify these sounds, aural effects typically don’t command a story the way that film does. For this reason, Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Tell-Tale Heart” is uniquely auditory focused because it is largely driven by the aural effects, real or hallucinatory, that the narrator hears and makes during the story. This unnamed narrator’s desire to kill the old man living with him is drenched in auditory descriptions, such as his obsession with the “dreadful silence of the old Sheridan 2 house” (Poe 319) during the murder contrasted with the creaking of a lantern, the old man’s single shriek, and most notably, the man’s lingering beating heart that drives the narrator to confess his crime.
