CITY OF EMERYVILLE MEMORANDUM

TO: Mayor and City Council (J).. FROM: Patrick D. O'Keeffe, City Manager fdJJ

SUBJECT: Progress Report -July 2008

The following provides the City Council and staff with a summary ofthe activities of each department for the prior month.

CITY MANAGER

• As feared, the State has begun eyeing local government revenues as a way offilling a portion ofthe $15 billion State budget gap. The Governor and the legislature are proposing a total of$2.9 billion in take- aways from local government including borrowing property tax revenues per Proposition lA, diverting Proposition 42 gas tax revenues for road way improvements and shifting redevelopment revenues (presumably to schools per prior ERAF shifts). Attached is a table from the League of California Cities estimating the loss to each city per the combined proposals being discussed. The total estimated loss for Emeryville is approximately $2.5 million.

The majority ofthis projected loss is from the Redevelopment Agency. It is not yet clear ifthis is a one year shift or permanent. Ifthe latter, the reduction would reduce our bonding capacity for the next Capital Improvement Program bond issue by approximately $18 million (this is less than I reported at the last Council meeting since this table shows a lower redevelopment shift than previously reported by the League). Although the property tax shift of$870,000 is lower than the redevelopment shift, it is more devastating to us since it would affect the General fund and our ability to fund existing operating services such as recreation and public safety (as opposed to capital projects). Per our recently approved operating budget, we do not have excess funds to cover this shift and would be required to deplete reserves to maintain operations at existing levels.

As you may recall, Proposition 1A prohibited the State from shifting property taxes in this manner for 3 years. That grace period has ended and the State can once again do so, although it is now considered a loan that has to be repaid. Future repayment will not assist us in the short run for maintaining our services as budgeted. The Proposition 42 funds are monies that we use for street maintenance, and would reduce

1 our street slurry and repair program. Attached are letters that the League and our Mayor have sent to the Governor and the legislature opposing these proposed revenue thefts.

• On a positive note, staff learned this month that the Comp USA space in the East Bay Bridge center has been sub leased to Pacific Sales which is a high end retailer of kitchenlbath and electronic equipment. It is owned by Best Buy and the tenant improvement construction is currently underway. The previous tenant was the city's ------fifth-Iargest-sales-tax-producer, and .staff.was concerned that .this relatively large _ 24,000 square foot space would remain vacant for an extended period. We have learned from our sales tax advisor that the Pacific Sales retailer will meet or exceed the sales tax previously generated by Comp USA based on how this retailer is performing in other communities.

• The "2nd/4th Friday E-Bulletin, the City's new electronic newsletter was distributed on July 11th and zs". Highlights included City Council appointment of three Planning Commissioners, an update on Quiet (Railroad) Zones, an update on the temporary relocation of Anna Yates Elementary School, as well as the announcement of new Emery Unified School District administrators. The August editions will be posted on th nd August 8 and 22 • Interested community members can read the electronic newsletter on-line from the City's website: www.emeryville.ca.us or can subscribe and have the newsletter sent directly to their email address. Information on how to subscribe is listed at the bottom of each e-newsletter. In order to publicize the ENEWS, staff conducted a citywide mailing in late May, notifying residents and businesses about the newsletter and outlining how any interested member of the public can subscribe (or unsubscribe). Currently, the ENEWS has 516 subscribers which is a gain of 20 new subscribers following the citywide mailing of a postcard urging residents and businesses to subscribe to the ENEWS.

• City Manager and Public Works staff met with Waste Management of Alameda County (WMAC) to have a very preliminary discussion regarding the upcoming expiration of the current waste management franchise agreement with WMAC in December 2010. The City's options are to renegotiate a new waste franchise agreement with WMAC or to solicit bids for waste management through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process. Each "component" of the City's current franchise agreement - garbage collection, garbage disposal , recycling collection, and recycling processing can all be renegotiated or bid out as a whole or as separate services. Staff will be drawing from the technical expertise of the Alameda County Waste Management Authority (ACWMA or StopWaste.org) as this process unfolds.

• Staff has received the FY 2007-2008 Annual Report from the 2-1-1 Alameda County Program (attached). By calling 2-1-1 anytime 24 hours a day/7 days per week, community members can receive FREE information--over the phone in multiple languages--about housing, health, and social services throughout Alameda County. Upon dialing 2-1-1, a caller will be routed to Eden I&R, a referral service. Based upon assessed needs, Eden will refer the caller to an agency that can provide

2 information, including but not limited to tenant's rights assistance, emergency shelters and services for battered women, rental and housing assistance, utility bill assistance, food assistance. Note that 2-1-1 is not currently available on all cell phones. Cell phone users that cannot access 2-1-1 should call toll free at 1(888) 886­ 9660. During FY 2007-2008, the 2-1-1 service, handled 46,106 phone calls, resulting in 65,118 human service referrals and 12,022 housing referrals.

CITY CLERK OFFICE

1) The City Clerk's Office is recruiting for the position of Executive Secretary/City Clerk Technician. While the recruitment process is underway, requests for assistance from the City Clerk's Office should be directed to Tom McGurk, Deputy City Clerk or Karen Hemphill, City Clerk (Karen Hemphill will be on vacation from August 18 through Labor Day). Staff expects to fill the vacant position by early Fall. To assist us during this transition, Lorrayne Leong will be working with us on a temporary assignment from her position as Office Assistant for the Emeryville Child Development Center.

2) The Council Chamber broadcast/audiovisual system upgrade is almost completed and the Council's July 15th meeting was able to be digitally broadcast for the first time. Staff is still working with vendors to complete installation and training on the video server and character generator which will enable automatic and regular scheduled programming of broadcast meetings and other public service programs (currently the City Clerk's Office has to manually playback each recorded program). However, viewers have already remarked upon the greatly enhanced picture and sound quality ofthe new broadcast system.

3) Staffexpects to begin using streaming video technology ("web" or "pod" casting) to broadcast public meetings (in addition to broadcasting through ETV-Channel 27) starting with the September 16th City Council meeting. Podcasting will enable access to live and/or delayed (after meeting) broadcasting of public meetings to anyone who has access to the Internet. With this technology, viewers of live webcasts will be able to simultaneously refer to City Council, Redevelopment Agency, and Planning Commission staff reports while viewing the meeting. Viewers of rebroadcast/archived Council, Agency or Commission meetings will be able to ''jump'' to specific agenda items rather than having to view the entire meeting. Podcasts as well as the accompanying staff reports and handouts will be archived for future reference as well. In addition, all other ETV-Channel 27 programming, such as special events and public information programs will be viewable through the Internet.

4) Staffis working with the Information Technology (IT) Office to update the City's website. A Request for Proposal has been released by the IT Office and the update is expected to start in September.

SUBJECT: RE: OPPOSE SHIFT OF CITY PROPERTY TAX, PROPOSTION 42 & REDEVELOPMENT FUNDS TO STATE

Dear Governor Schwarzenegger:

On behalfofthe City Council ofEmeryville and the Emeryville Redevelopment Agency, I would like to respectfully express our opposition to the proposals to shift city property taxes (pursuant to Proposition lA), street monies (Proposition 42) and redevelopment funds to help balance the California State Budget. We urge you to oppose measures ofthis nature to balance the state budget by shifting local government revenues.

A State shift ofproperty tax revenues will force us to reconsider existing service levels to our mutual citizens. Emeryville has high satisfaction ratings from its residents for basic services such as public safety. This would be jeopardized by a Proposition lA shift oflocal taxes to the State.

Redevelopment has long served as a stimulant for the State and local economy through the creation of housing, jobs and opportunities for commerce in areas that were once blighted and underproductive. A reduction in redevelopment revenues translates into very real consequences to the vitality ofour community and our mutual constituents' quality oflife. We have been a leader in Brownfields redevelopment. We are relying on redevelopment funding to help redevelop contaminated properties, create needed open space, and support our local schools through funding ofthe Emeryville Center of Community Life project, a joint facilities project with the Emery Unified School District.

We appreciate all ofyour hard work on behalfofthe people ofCalifornia. We look forward to alternative budget solutions that do not negatively impact local government or reduce redevelopment funding. Please help us maintain and enhance our quality oflife.

Sincerely,

Ken Bukowski Mayor cc: Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata Senate Republican Leader Dave Cogdill Assembly Speaker Karen Bass Assembly Republican Leader Michael Villines CITY OF EMERYVILLE

RE: OPPOSE SIDFT OF CITY PROPERTY TAX, PROPOSTION 42 & REDEVELOPMENT FUNDS TO STATE

Dear Assembly Member Hancock,

On behalfofthe City Council ofEmeryville and the Emeryville Redevelopment Agency, I would like to respectfully express our opposition to the proposals to shift city property taxes (pursuant to Proposition lA), street monies (Proposition 42) and redevelopment funds to help balance the California State Budget. We urge you to oppose measures ofthis nature to balance the state budget by shifting local government revenues.

The City recently adopted a two year budget. Unlike many cities we were able to create a budget without service reductions and layoffs assuming our revenues remain the same. We are, however, utilizing reserves in order to maintain our services. A State shift ofproperty tax revenues will force us to reconsider existing service levels to our mutual citizens.

Redevelopment has long served as a stimulant for the State and local economy through the creation ofhousing, jobs and opportunities for commerce in areas that were once blighted and underproductive. It is estimated that the State could shift $1.3 million in redevelopment revenues from Emeryville each year. This represents $18 million in bonding capacity that we were planning to use (per our adopted Capital Improvement Budget) for affordable housing, new recreation facilities and Brownfields remediation and public parking in support ofjob creating new development.

The total annual loss ofrevenues to the City ofEmeryville is estimated at $2.5 million. Although small in terms ofthe State shortfall, a reduction in revenues ofthis magnitude translates into very real consequences to the vitality ofour community and our mutual constituents' quality oflife. Emeryville has high satisfaction ratings from its residents for basic services such as public safety. We have been a leader in Brownfields redevelopment.

SUBJECT: Redevelopment Funds : Economic Stimulus, Infrastructure, and Climate Change

Dear Governor Schwarzenegger:

Thank you for your consistent opposition to "borrowing" local government and transportation funds to balance the state budget. Your commitment to protect the services and investments they fund is deeply appreciated. We recently became aware of consideration being given to a possible shift of local redevelopment funds that could have long-term negative effects for our economy and climate. If such a proposal is under consideration, we would respectfully urge you to consider the following:

I. Positive Economic Stimulus Impacts. Redevelopment funds provide vital economic stimulus and local infrastructure investments. In a typical year, redevelopment investments generate about $32 billion in total economic activity, nearly $1.6 billion in state and local taxes and support 310,000 jobs, mostly in construction. Shifting funding away from this vital local economic development engine to pay for ongoing state expenses is the equivalent of eating our investment seed corn at a time when it is one ofthe few positive forces in the economy.

2. Positive Climate Change Impacts. Redevelopment agencies are the only local infrastructure and economic development tool that focuses on rebuilding our urban cores and expanding infill development. This is precisely the type ofdevelopment that state wants to promote if it is going to succeed in altering land use patterns to reduce global warming.

As Governor, you have been a leader in recognizing the state's infrastructure and economic development needs, as well as being aggressive in the state's response to climate change. We urge you to consider the implications ofsuch a proposal beyond the confines ofthis year's budget agreement.

Sincerely,

Jim Madaffer Christopher McKenzie President Executive Director League ofCalifornia Cities League ofCalifornia Cities

Cc: Honorable State Senators Honorable State Assembly Members Mr. Dale Bonner, Secretary, Business, Transportation and Housing Agency Ms. Lynn Jacobs, Director, Department ofHousing and Community Development Ms. Mary Nichols, Chair, California Air Resources Board Mr. John Shirey, Executive Director, California Redevelopment Association Eden I&R, Inc. "linking people and resources"

570 B Street • Hayward, CA 94541 • 510-537-2710 • FAX 510-537-0986 2-1-1 Annual Report Fiscal Year 2008 (July 2007 - June 2008)

The first year of 2-1-1 Alameda County has been a huge success! Eden I&R officially launched the 24/7 three-digit phone line, 2-1-1, on July 1,2007. At first there was a "soft launch", with relatively little publicity, because the agency was awaiting the public sector funding needed to ramp-up the 2-1-1 phone line staff. As the funding was received, new staffwas hired and trained, marketing efforts were greatly increased, and the call volume soared. In recognition of2-1-1 's value to the community, Eden I&R was the recipient oftwo awards (United Way's Community Impact Award for Community Collaboration; Housing Rights, Inc.'s 40th Anniversary recognition of2-1-1) and multiple proclamations (Alameda County Board of Supervisors, and the cities of Hayward and San Leandro).

During and after the October 2007 Southern California Wildfires 2-1-1 providers throughout the country assisted 2-1-1 centers in San Diego and surrounding counties. Eden I&R deployed two experienced 2-1-1 Resource Specialists to help answer the thousands of daily calls from fire victims. 2-1-1 was advertised by the Southern California media and first responders (fire and police) as the number to call for public information about open transportation routes, shelter locations, fire areas that were open/not open to the public, recovery services like FEMA insurance, etc.

Bill Gore, San Diego's Undersheriff stated, "The 2-1-1 service was an invaluable resource during the firestorm in that it freed up calls from 9-1-1." Greg Cox, San Diego County Board of Supervisor's Chairman added, "2-1-1 has become the centerpiece afoul' region's communications system, providing critical health and community information to people who need it. "

Additional highlights for these past twelve months include: ~ Residents, employees and advocates within all 14 cities utilized 2-1-1 's 24/7, multilingual services. ~ Eden I&R continued to be the only agency in Alameda County that called shelters at least twice a day to check on bed availabilities. This information was available 24/7 to all 2-1-1 callers, whether the caller was in need ofemergency housing or was calling on behalf ofothers. ~ Callers who did not speak English were assisted by on-site Resource Specialists who are fluent in their language (particularly Spanish, Cantonese and/or Vietnamese) or they were assisted by a "real time" interpreter (via TeleInterpreters which provides over 100 languages) who translated between the caller and the Resource Specialist. ~ All agency health, housing and human services databases were, and continue to be, enhanced to provide the most comprehensive and accurate data possible. The health and human services database currently has over 1,350 records, and the housing database currently tracks over 62,700 housing units. ~ Caller client databases were, and continue to be used to collect the most comprehensive information possible (e.g., size offamily; income resources; disability and veteran status; age; etc.) for the following primary purposes: I) to assist with making appropriate referrals; 2) to aggregate the data for demographic statistical purposes. ~ In April 2008, 2-1-1 Resource Specialists worked with the Red Cross to assist the 50 families that were displaced by the West Oakland Adeline Fire. That same month, the agency participated in Operation Building Bridges, the Bay Area Cross Sector Pandemic Functional Exercise. This exercise was in addition to the annual Alameda County disaster drill at the Emergency Operations Center that Eden I&R participates in each fall. In May 2008 the agency signed the Alameda County Public Health Emergency Preparedness Program Cooperative Agreement that includes 2-1-1 and the Public Health Department participating in mutual trainings, disaster drills and an exchange of information during an emergency.

>- AT&T and Eden I&R worked together to reduce the number ofPhantom Calls (when no one is on the line) entering the 2-1-1 phone system (in just 7 months the agency had received 15,933 phantom calls on the 2-1-1 phone line). This continues to be a nation-wide technical problem and Eden I&R is spearheading the movement to greatly reduce or eliminate this problem. >- Eden I&R technical staffworked with each ofthe 14 cities to alert large businesses (like hospitals) and government offices that they have to program 2-1-1 into their phone systems (much the same as 9-1-1 access). >- Every Alameda County cell phone provider was contacted and an individual 2-1-1 contract was negotiated to guarantee equal access for all cell phone users. >- The agency submitted monthly detailed statistical reports to funders that can be used to monitor and evaluate 2-1-1 service delivery. These reports can also be accessed online at www.211alamedacounty.org.

Who 2-1-1 Assisted: Due to the breadth ofmarketing efforts and "word ofmouth" publicity, Eden I&R Resource Specialists were able to handle 46,106 2-1-1 calls from July 2007 through June 2008. Individuals and families, as well as their advocates, were assisted with up-to-date health, housing and human services information. Of the unduplicated callers, 22% were disabled, and 32% were female heads ofhouseholds with minor children. The total referral information distributed throughout the fiscal year included 65,118 human service referrals and 12,022 housing referrals. The following example 2-1-1 calls from across the county are indicative ofthe varied needs of2-1-1 callers: a A 36 year old veteran from Newark called seeking legal assistance for an eviction notice. Caller had lost her job. Caller also had a military service connected disability. a A Fremont woman called seeking assistance for her grandmother who is low-income and in need of major house plumbing repairs. a A senior from Castro Valley called seeking rental assistance. a An Emeryville woman called seeking counseling, anger management and parenting classes for a family member. a A Spanish speaking man from Berkeley called seeking treatment for alcohol abuse. a A woman from Pleasanton called seeking information on low-income housing in the Tri-Valley area. a A Mandarin speaking woman from San Leandro called about getting a drivers license (e.g., DMV location; help with understanding the process; and transportation information). a A Livermore woman with an eleven year old daughter called looking for a domestic violence shelter. a A Spanish speaking man from Hayward called seeking counseling for depression. a A female Dublin senior citizen called to get section 8 information. a An Albany resident called about her 52 year old mentally disabled son who lives in unsanitary conditions and wanted to know who to contact for help and advice. a An Alameda resident called on behalfofher brother who lives in Long Beach. He has a substance abuse problem and she wanted referrals to a residential drug program near her in the Bay Area. a A single mother ofa 5 year old child in Piedmont called seeking childcare subsidies. Although she is employed she could not afford child care a A mother of six children from Union City, who had been a victim ofdomestic violence, called from a domestic violence shelter. She needed to get information about future shelter (transitional housing), food and clothing. a The Oakland Fire Department called for information on how to direct clients who come to their station asking for shelter information. a A Victim Witness Program staffmember in the Alameda County District Attorney's office called seeking shelter for a mother with two sons. a Kaiser Hospital called looking for emergency shelter for a woman and her nine year old daughter.

Marketing Outreach and Publicity The success of2-1-1 depends largely upon the public's awareness ofthis public communication vehicle. Throughout the past twelve months, Eden I&R staffmembers have participated in a variety ofpromotiona1 Eden I&R/211 3

efforts to notify Alameda County residents and employees about 2-1-1. These efforts included:

~ A 2-1-1 billboard at the Oakland Coliseum, bordering Interstate-8S0, that was projected to be seen by 4.4 million people each month. Although the billboard was purchased through a public health grant for just one month, it remained in place for over three months. ~ Individual cities assisted in publicizing 2-1-1 to their residents. For example, the City of Livermore included information about 2-1-1 on a monthly water bill. ~ Two-page 2-1-1 ads were placed in all Alameda County AT&T Real Yellow Page directories (with Chinese and Spanish translations) as a result ofnegotiated barter agreements with AT&T. ~ Mass mailings with 2-1-1 descriptions and flyers were sent by snail mail and email, to all social service programs listed in Eden I&R's social services database, all libraries, and all school districts' Superintendents. ~ Presentations were made to social service collaborations/councils/commissions (e.g., EveryOne Home, Central Labor Council, Alameda County Area Agency on Aging Roundtable, Northern California Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD), Children's Hospital, Alameda County Access to Care Collaborative, Fremont's Family Resource Center, Emeryville's Public Safety Committee); fire/police departments (e.g., Alameda County 9-1-1 Communications Managers); City Council meetings (including the Alameda County Conference ofMayors and the Alameda County City Managers meetings); Chambers ofCommerce; and other public forums throughout the county. ~ 2-1-1 was used to assist in seasonal events like Toys 4 Tots registration for Berkeley as well as providing access to Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) information during tax season. ~ Meeting and participating in disaster drills with emergency responders to promote 2-1-1 as a critical public communication vehicle during and after a disaster. ~ Meeting with the Hospital Council ofNorthern California in conjunction with other nonprofit health care providers to discuss using 2-1-1 as a bed reservation system for homeless patients about to be discharged. ~ Participating in numerous fairs and events countywide to distribute thousands of 2-1- I flyers to the public (e.g., Clean Slate Summit for ex-offenders, Newark's Resource Faire for Seniors, Latin American Education Summit, Emergency Survival Expo, ECHO's Senior Financial Health and Community Resource Fair, Project Homeless Connect, Success Train Job and Career Resource Fair, St Rose Hospital Health Fair, Fremont Community Ambassador's for Seniors Program).

Agency Infrastructure Advances: • Staffing Throughout the year Eden I&R needed to add several new Resource Specialists to answer the increase in 2-1-1 calls. These additional staffmembers assisted in reducing call wait times from about one minute during peak periods at the beginning ofthe fiscal year to just 22 seconds by September 2007. As the call volume continues to increase staffwill monitor wait times and add additional 2-1-1 Resource Specialists when necessary. In order to keep all phone line staffabreast ofthe ever-changing services provided by local agencies and government departments, In-Service Presentations were held on a weekly basis. Example presenters included: Bay Area Women Against Rape, Salvation Army, Hedco House/BACS, SSA Cal WORKS and Food Stamps divisions, Lighthouse Community Center, Fremont Family Resource Center, Tri-Cities Elder Coalition, East Bay Community Law Center, Community Resources for Independent Living (CRIL), and SISTA: Effective Behavioral Intervention for HIV Prevention for African American Women.

• Health, Housing and Human Services Data Resources During the past twelve months, Eden I&R's housing database grew by 7,881 units to 62,771 units of housing (as of6/30/08)including subsidized, Below Market Rent, Market Rent, residency hotel rooms, SROs, and shares. The majority ofthe 2-1-1 calls continue to be for housing and housing supportive services (e.g., domestic violence shelter beds; residential care facilities; subsidized housing). Eden I&RJ211 4

During Fiscal Year 2008 Eden I&R's health and human services database of over 1,350 records was updated not only for the 2-1-1 callers but also for the printing ofthe 2008 edition of The Big Blue Book: The Directory ofHuman Services for Alameda County. This database can be accessed, at no charge, via the agency's online websites at www.21 ]alamedacountv.org, www.alamedaco. info, oryyyy_\:y.~e..9~_I}.U:,q.r:g) .

• Technology Capacity Throughout the year a variety ofenhancements were added to the agency's phone system to accommodate the 2-1-1 services including: automated call reporting systems; an additional TTY system; Call Manager software; and an upgraded "PRJ" T-1 line to allow advanced features for disaster preparedness including Alternate Call Routing and Enhanced Busy Routing.

Regional 2-1-1 Partnerships: Eden I&R continued to meet on a monthly basis in partnership with The United Way of the Bay Area and the Contra Costa Crisis Center to create a seamless and coordinated 2-1-1 regional system that includes: ~ Common Client Data: Bay Area 2-1-1 centers are aggregating information about clients­ demographics, needs, location, follow-up (success or other findings), etc.-consistent with statewide data collection by the California Alliance ofInformation and Referral Services (CAIRS). This data assists in identifying unmet needs throughout the region.

~ Sharing Resource Information Databases: Sharing databases enables I&R Resource Specialists from a variety ofcounties to access resource information in other areas to reduce the number of subsequent calls a 2-1-1 caller has to make. Since 2-1-1 programming ensures that calls are routed to the 2-1-1 center serving the county that the call originated in, shared databases enables callers to get the best information possible from local experts outside of their county via shared technology and data. The goal is for 2-1-1 call specialists throughout the Bay Area to have easy access to resource databases when callers have multiple needs that cross county lines.

~ Handling Call Volume Overflow: Bay Area 2-1-1 centers are continuing to develop a rollover system for calls to be rerouted to another center when call volume gets past a certain level-i.e. assistingwith overload especially during unforeseen situations such as a disaster (earthquake, fire, flood, terrorist attack, toxic spill, etc.).

~ Mutual Communication and Outreach: Joint public information and marketing strategies (and materials) continue to be developed that emphasize and recognize the Bay Area-wide 2-1-1 system (and its local components). This marketing effort helps clarify the difference between 2­ 1-1 and other N-l-1 numbers to avoid public confusion. Coordinated outreach also ensures that 2-1-1 information is consistent, accurate, and effective.

~ Disaster Response Preparation: Since 2-1-1 is a public communication tool that is critically needed when disaster strikes, mutual aide agreements are being crafted that will enhance the capacity ofBay Area 2-1-1 centers. These agreements involve making sure that the regional service continues via back-up at alternative sites when necessary, as well as the ability for expanded services immediately following a disaster. This type of mutual assistance was tested and proved to be exceedingly successful during the Southern California Wildfires.

~ Public Policy: 2-1-1 service providers at the local, regional and statewide level continue to meet to promote a coordinated campaign to support the federal "The Callingfor 2-1-1 Act" as well as statewide legislation that would help fund 2-1-1 on an ongoing basis.

~ Regional Events: On 2/11/08, "2-1-1 Day," over one hundred representatives attended a press conference and breakfast that formally announced and publicized the Bay Area 2-1-1 launch of seven local counties (Alameda, San Francisco, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, Solano and Santa Eden I&R/211 5

Clara/Silicon Valley). This public relations event informed the general public, advocates, elected officials, funders and the media about 2-1-1. Eden I&R experienced a large increase in call volume as a result of this publicity. Additionally, in October 2007 a regional press conference was held that focused on publicizing 2-1-1 to the "ethnic press," particularly Chinese and Spanish media representatives.

Funding Successes and Challenges: Throughout the fiscal year, Barbara Bernstein, Eden I&R's Executive Director, made presentations at City Council meetings in order to get final approval for FY2008 2-1-1 funding from individual cities. By mid­ year, although all of the cities and the county had indicated they were leveraging their funding toward 2-1­ 1, Eden I&R did not start receiving much ofits government funding until six to nine months into the fiscal year. This delay in funding was a huge challenge for the agency. It set back the timely hiring and training ofnew staff, and greatly hampered the purchase ofoutreach materials. The result was that the annual call volume could have been even higher if the marketing and phone line staff capacities could have been enhanced earlier in the fiscal year. .

The private sector continued to be an enthusiastic supporter of2-1-1. For this, and many other reasons, Eden I&R is extremely grateful to the following funders for their past and/or current support:

The United Way of the Bay Area; Walter & Elise Haas Fund; Pacific Gas and Electric Company; Kaiser Permanente; The San Francisco Foundation; AT&T Real Yellow Pages; Community Technology Foundation; First 5/Every Child Counts; Western Digital Foundation; and Eden Township Healthcare District.

Next Steps:

Throughout FY2009 Eden I&R will focus on: ~ Promoting 2-1-1 so that every resident in the county knows about this very critical service. This effort will necessitate the help of the cities and the media to be successful. Therefore Eden I&R staff will work with our many partners throughout the county to broadcast news about 2-1-1 in printed, electronic and verbal messages targeted to individuals and families, and their advocates, in need ofhealth, housing and human services. ~ Continuing to request and respond to feedback about 2-1-1 services so that the communication system expands in its breadth as well as its customer services. ~ Joining and partnering with the various Chambers of Commerce to further promote 2-1-1 to local businesses and their employees. ~ Participating in disaster drills locally, regionally and statewide to provide the public with vital information before, during and after a disaster. ~ Continuing the agency's high profile participation in the California Alliance for Information and Referral Services (CAIRS), especially as Chair ofthe statewide Public Relations Committee. ~ Working with the federal, state and local government to pursue ongoing leveraged funding. For example, in September 2008 Eden I&R, in conjunction with CAIRS, will co-host a statewide 2­ 1-1 Summit with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to solicit ongoing leveraged funds from key stakeholders. Also, Eden I&R and CAIRS will continue to work with the Governor's Office of Emergency Services (OES) to get 2-1-1 formally included in California's new emergency disaster plan. This too can result in ongoing leveraged funding.

As always, Eden I&R staffand Board ofDirectors thank and truly appreciate all ofthe support and assistance we have received this past year from city, county and private sector officials, staff, and business leaders. We look forward to our continued partnership efforts.

COMMUNITY SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

City/School Committee Meeting

The City/Schools Committee meeting was held on July 1i h at the ESS Theater. Agenda items covered in this meeting included a presentation by the team of Field Paoli and HKIT. The presentation consisted ofa power point discussion ofthree (3) "massing concepts" for the ECCL on the ESS site. John Gooding, chair of the Partners Finance Sub-Committee made a report on the funding possibilities for the ECCL. In addition, Dianne Rush-Woods was unanimously approved as the Co-Chair for the Partners for Community Life.

Partners for Community Life

On July 23rd the Partners for Community Life met at the Emeryville Senior Center. Field Paoli Architects made a presentation to show "massing concepts" for the educational and recreational program elements for the ECCL and received feedback from the group. It was decided that two (2) Community Workshops would be scheduled for October 2nd and October 4th at which time the public at large could comment on the "massing concepts."

ActiveNet Program Registration and Facility Reservation software

During the week ofJuly 21-25, stafffrom the Recreation and Senior Center Divisions trained on the new department software. The new system will be replacing the obsolete RecWare system. The new ActiveNet system will allow the public to register for most programs and activities and view the available ofpark and facility rentals on-line 24/7. The ECDC staffwill be trained on the system in early August. The department plans to "go live" with the system in early September.

Community Services Department Strategic Planning Meetings

Director Melinda Chinn has organized a series of manager meetings in July to assess the current status of the three Divisions (I.E.; Recreation, Child Development, and Senior) in Community Services Department. The management team is first identifying gaps in service and then setting goals/milestones to address these gaps through a number of different operational measures to improve effectiveness. One of the first major findings was the lack of cross-training between Community Services Department Progress Report July 2008 Page 2 0/9

Divisions leading to mixed messages and lack of understanding about other Divisions' services. To address this gap, full-staff training will occur in late August to kick-off a renewed effort that is targeted to create more informative and customer friendly service in all three Divisions.

ECDC Operational Research Meeting

Facilities Manager Margret O'Brien, Administrative Analyst Kevin Laven, Manager Janet Pullian, and Director Melinda Chinn met on July 29th to set goals and milestones concerning the Child Development Center future operations as directed by the City Council this spring.

CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER

Hello to Cyon Portillo, younger brother ofCatari Portillo, in pre K 2. Cyon is a happy camper in his new 'digs', the Toddler Room. Another hello goes to Emily Naberes who is in Pre K 2. Emily's big sister Kara graduated from ECDC several years ago, how time flies. Both children have readily adjusted to their new environments and are quite happy.

Youth Partnership

The ECDC has welcomed the following young adults from Oakland's Youth Partnership program for a six-week period; Shelby Tipton, Shannon Arrington and Alia Walker. It is very nice to have extra helping hands and the vibrant energy ofthese young people at the ECDC. Not only do they give us a helping hand, but they are receiving "on the job training" in working with young children.

Welcome Back

The ECDC briefly welcomed back (only for a week) Kellan Feick, who left us a couple of months ago to go to a day care closer to home. Kellan was temporarily with us while his new school is closed. We certainly are enjoying seeing him again, especially now that he has begun to walk! The ECDC also welcomed back Rachel Peterson, who left us at last year's end. Rachel is in Kinder Kamp this summer and is really enjoying visiting with her friends again.

We had one tour this month with a total ofseven families attending. There was lots ofinterest in the center and several families signed up to be placed on the waiting list.

What's happening at ECDC this summer?

Summer brings sunshine and shakeups at our center each year. In the beginning of the month, we started our annual Kinder Kamp program. Teacher Duana Brown has taken the lead in this room and she and staffhave transformed it into a "Candy Land" theme. This room is a delight to walk into with its Candy Land signs and the Blueberry Carpet. Children and excited about their new fantasy environment and are developing splendidly. Community Services Department Progress Report July 2008 Page 8 of9

The eight weeks of summer's Kinder Kamp are based on books this year. In honor of "Miss Spider's Tea Party," Kinder Kamp put on its very own tea party. Children made invitations for the event and small sandwiches the day of the party. Apple juice was poured out of the tea pot and other various munchies were served. Teachers were dressed in black, just as the waitresses are in fancy restaurants. Girls donned party dresses while the boys wore nice shirts, with a few even sporting jackets and ties. We even had one boy come in a pirate outfit for the occasion. This was an event not to be missed and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Other books we have based themes on this month have been, "Rolie Polie Olie" (with Robots and Space themes), "The Jungle Book" (with a field trip to the Oakland Zoo), and, "Where the Wild Things Are" (with a Monsters theme). This has been a fun vehicle for learning.

Other happenings here have been visits to the Golden Gate Library and our water familiarization program at the Emeryville Community Pool for the older children. Younger children have been happily at play under our new shade tents as well as in the sunshine. Flowers are blooming and things are pretty cheery at the center this summer.

Continued Training

Staff attended P.I.T.C. Infant/Toddler Training with Oletha Murry. Ms. Murry has been very helpful over the past months imparting her knowledge and also giving staff feedback as well as tips on how to be more successful in the classroom.

The following narrative provides an update on general redevelopment activities for the month of July 2008.

PROMENADE RETAIL CENTER

On July I, 2008 Starbuck's Coffee Company announced that it will close approximately 600 company-operated stores in the U.S. beginning this month and continuing through the first half of FY09. On July 18, Starbuck's further announced details on which stores were slated for closure. Stores targeted to cease operations were those deemed underperforming. Approximately 70 percent of the stores announced for closure had opened during the 2006-07 fiscal year or later. The 4125 San Pablo Avenue was among the seven stores in the East Bay identified for closure. No other Starbuck's locations in Emeryville were identified for closure. At the request Mayor Bukowski, as resolution has been placed on the Agency's August 5 agenda, authorizing the issuance of letter from the City Council to Starbuck's asking them to reconsider the closure ofthe Promenade Starbuck's store.

EAST BAY BRIDGE

Staff presented Catellus and Safeway with a preliminary cost sharing proposal regarding the conversion of Pak N Save to a lifestyle Safeway. The proposal focused on sharing the costs of improving the store's parking lot and landscaping, as well as some upgrades to the appearance of the adjacent in-line retail spaces. Catellus and Safeway met, without Agency staff, at a recent International Conference of Shopping Centers conference, where they discussed their issues and concerns related to the conversion. After that meeting Safeway contacted Agency staff and indicated that the initial proposed financial contribution by the Agency is inadequate. Staff will meet in early August with Catellus to clarify their position with regard to financial participation, and will forward a revised financial proposal to the Agency for consideration.

ANDANTE COMMERCIAL LEASING

SNK has closed escrow on suites E, F and G for a food use. The only remaining unsold space is Suites C and D. They are currently waiting on an LOI from an accounting firm for that space, and have also had discussions with a chiropractor. The resident at Andante that wanted to put his design center in that location could not meet the owners' price. There has been moderate interest since the closing ofthe other properties. They continue to use all the same marketing, ie MLS, Loopnet, Craigslist, etc.

AVALON COMMERCIAL

EBALDC indicated that they are in negotiations for an insurance broker to lease a portion ofthe space formerly occupied by Athlete's Foot. This would require subdivision ofthe space. In the event lease negotiations are successful, final approval of the tenant must be obtained from the Agency before a lease can be fully executed.

FLATIRON REDEVELOPMENT

The Developer has indicated that his equity partner is no longer able to participate in the project. He is seeking another equity partner, and concentrating his efforts on engaging the proposed user of the space in this role. The user is an established pizza restaurant operator. The proposed tenant is evaluating this option, including contemplation of some redesign of the building in order to make their equity participation and use ofthe space financially feasible.

Staff is working with the developer to determine if this arrangement meets the goals and objectives of the Agency. If negotiations are successful, a First Implementation Agreement to the Disposition and Development Agreement for the project may be brought to the Agency for its consideration and review in September.

SITE B REDEVELOPMENT

Disposition andDevelopment Agreement

Staff has received preliminary plans and information from Madison Marquette. More information is needed in order to determine major deal points for a Disposition and Development Agreement. Staff has met with Madison Marquette to discuss the ongoing negotiations with Macy's, review conceptual renderings ofthe center incorporating this department store, evaluate preliminary project proformas, and discuss presentation of a status report to the Agency in August or early September.

The Exclusive Right to Negotiation Agreement expires at the end of September. It is anticipated that an extension of the ERN will be brought to the Agency for its consideration in September, either concurrently with or after an update from the Developer on negotiations with the department store.

Toxic Contamination Remediation

Pre-construction air monitoring will commence in early August and will be ongoing for 12 calendar days thereafter to create a baseline for air quality that will be used during the remedial activities. It is anticipated that remediation activities will commence in late August or early September.

2 PIXAR

The City Council and Redevelopment Agency adopted an ordinance and resolutions approving and authorizing the execution of the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Development Agreement and Participation Agreement with Pixar Corporation. The amendments extend the term of each agreement to January 31, 2028, extend the deadline for commencing construction of Phase II improvements by two years to July 31, 2010, eliminate the Delay Fee and Capital Improvement and Services fee for Phases III and IV, and eliminate the Agency's right to repurchase the PEA parcel and Emery Street parcels if Phase III is not constructed. In exchange for these amendments, Pixar will contribute $2 million to the City's Arts and Cultural Center and host a fundraiser for the center in conjunction with a movie released after 2009.

GATEWAY REDEVELOPMENT

This project has been put on hold by the developer.

FACADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

Avalon Commercial

EBALDC has completed contracting with their selected vendors, and are seeking permits from the Planning and Building Department. Once permits have been obtained, it is anticipated that work will commence in late August.

Oasis Pamper Bar

After receiving approval from the Planning Commission, the applicant requested some changes to the design. The changes were minor, and were approved administratively. The applicant submitted the building permit application on July 16. It is anticipated that the building permit will be issued in early August, with construction to commence soon thereafter.

BUSINESS LOANS

All loans are current.

RAILROAD QUIET ZONESIRAILROAD EXPANSION

The findings from the Quiet Zone Feasibility Report were presented to the Agency in a study session in July, along with an update on the Martinez Subdivision project and Berkeley's efforts with regard to mitigating the impacts ofthe railroad in West Berkeley. At the conclusion ofthat meeting, the City Council decided to postpone a decision on the Quiet Zone improvements while the feasibility of grade separations is evaluated. Staff will conduct an initial study on the feasibility of grade separations. If it determined to be feasible, the staff study will serve as the basis for a Request for Proposals for an engineering study to study the project in more detail and provide cost information.

3 MARKETPLACE EXPANSION PROJECT

The City Council approved a Preliminary Development Plan for Marketplace Expansion project. The second and final reading ofthe ordinance is scheduled for August.

I_80/65th STREET BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE

Staff met with HQE to coordinate kick-off ofthe project. It is anticipated that the first meeting with the consultant will consist ofan overview ofthe anticipated process, site visit to the affected areas, and then a re-assembly at City Hall to develop performance measures that will be used to evaluate the various alternatives. At the time of the writing of this report, it was not yet determined if the site visit and development of performance measures will occur in a single meeting or two separate meetings due to time constraints.

In a related matter Cheryl Nevares, a representative from CalTrans, attended the internal kick-off meeting among staffand the HQE project team in early July. At that meeting staffwas informed that CalTrans had compiled a preliminary list of projects in the region that would receive oversight from CalTrans during FY08-09 for the development of PID documents. This ongoing oversight is required to initiate a CalTrans project. The 1-80 Bicycle/Pedestrian Crossing project was not on that list.

Ms. Nevares, as a CalTrans representative, is a non-voting member ofthe Project Committee and has attended all committee meetings. Since the internal kick-off meeting with staff in early July, Ms. Nevares submitted a proposal on the City's behalf to the CalTrans Office of Advance Planning to include the 1-80 Bicycle/Pedestrian Crossing project for resourcing (i.e. oversight) in FY08-09. The proposal included a state resource workplan, the proposed delivery schedule, project background and funding information, and indicated the regional significance of the project and its many benefits.

It is anticipated that CalTrans will have an internal meeting in late July to assess how this project (and others) might be considered for oversight. As there many other projects that are also competing for these limited resources, it is unknown if the 1-80 Bicycle/Pedestrian Crossing project will receive the oversight resources in the current fiscal year. If CalTrans cannot participate in the near term, staffand the Committee will need to evaluate how much analysis of alternatives can proceed without CalTrans participation and guidance.

FEMA FUNDING

In furtherance of receiving the Congressional earmark of $600,000 Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Funding through FEMA for the seismic retrofit of the Public Works Corporate Yard, staff completed and submitted a Benefit-Cost Analysis of that project to the State of California Office of Emergency Services. They have requested additional information, specifically plans and specifications for the proposed project, before they can commence an environmental assessment ofthe project. Agency staff is awaiting this information from Public Works.

Local Hazard Mitigation Plan

4 The Agency received two proposals in response to its Request for Qualifications/Request for Proposals for professional services to prepare a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan ("LHMP"), one from Bluecrane, Inc. and another from Tetratech. Staff is currently evaluating the proposals. It is anticipated that a recommendation and contract will be submitted to the Agency for consideration in September.

VENTURE CAPITAL

EDAB provided information on companies in the East Bay that have been recipients of venture capital during the period 1Q07 through 4Q07. In terms ofdollars, the majority ofventure capital that has been awarded to Emeryville companies has gone to those in the semiconductor and software industries. Of all East Bay cities, Emeryville received the second greatest amount of venture capital financing at a total of$177.6 million.

BROWNFIELDS

General Items

U.S. EPA staff are processing the grant applications for the $400,000 in assessment grants for petroleum and hazardous materials sites, and the $500,000 revolving Loan Fund. Grant activities can commence once the Cooperative Agreement is for execution.

Weston Solutions conducted site assessments on the Emeryville Greenway section at 59th Street as part of the in-kind Targeted Brownfields Assessment (TBA) grant from the U.S. EPA. More detail is provided under the EmeryStation Triangle section below.

SOUTH BAYFRONT PEDESTRIAN-BICYCLE BRIDGE

The Project Committee met on July II (minutes attached as Attachment I). The Committee discussed the comments received at the community meeting and Council meeting. City Council subsequently discussed Committee recommendations at their July 15 meeting.

Council accepted the Committee recommendations to 1) accept Concept 1 for Horton landing Park; 2) cover the existing drainage channel off Horton Street with a swale treatment; and 3) accept the curviness ofthe single-arch bridge.

Staff contacted the Alameda County Flood Control district regarding construction above Temescal Creek, and reported that construction above the creek would merely be an encroachment, while construction into the creek would be a major design and engineering review application. Staff also reported the meeting with UPRR. UPRR will allow construction within the railroad right-of-way, and will also consider disposition ofthe Sherwin Williams spur. They also expressed concerns over sight lines from the Amtrak Station. Staff will meet on site with UPRR representatives.

Horton Landing Park. The Agency approved the Project Committee's recommendation of Concept I, which is the meandering ramp option. Callander Associates reduced the amount of paving and incorporated comments on the treatment of the drainage channel. The Friends of Temescal Creek was contacted by staff. They would like for the City to create a creek bank and riparian zone down to the water. Ifit has to be covered, a land form resembling creek banks with native riparian plants would be the second choice. The second option is consistent with the alternative selected by Council.

Once the conceptual plan is approved, staff will contact Stopwaste.org to analyze the park with consistency with Bay Friendly guidelines.

9 Ohlone Way approach. Staff will continue to work with the Flood Control District to refine the design of the stairs. Biggs Cardosa also needs to conduct additional structural analysis of the garage bridge and the stairs.

Project Budget. Biggs Cardosa updated staff on design budget considerations from the current bridge, park and garage bridge designs. They will be requesting two contract amendments - one for the out-of-scope work for the bridge, and another related to Horton Landing Park. The latter amendment will be considered after an agreement is reached with Novartis regarding the sharing of design and construction expenses for the park. The former involves out-of-scope work related to additional meetings, design work and project management. These will be presented to the Project Committee and staffat a future meeting.

Staff has requested Novartis to provide a determination on their share for the construction of Horton Landing Park.

The project website: http://www.ci.emeryville.ca.us/econdev/sbpedbikebridge.html includes information on Committee meetings and relevant documents.

Staff will contact Novartis regarding submittal of more detailed spreadsheets explaining the costs associated with the demolition ofbuildings and relocation ofpersonnel.

COMMUNITY PRESERVATION

Housing Rehabilitation Program

The property owners at 1015 45th Street have decided to proceed with the paint grant. Once they return from vacation staff will meet with them to sign the necessary paperwork to proceed with this grant.

The property at 4379-81 Adeline Street is requesting an Exterior Paint Grant and a Housing Rehabilitation Loan. Since the agreements are over the $15,000 cap for the Executive Director to sign, they will require Agency approval. This project will be presented at the August 5th meeting. The paint grant will provide a maximum of $30,000 in funding and the loan will provide a maximum funding of $50,000. The funding will cover the exterior paint, and interior work such as heating; new water heaters; window replacement; plumbing, and laminate flooring.

The property at 5899 Beaudry Street will be a joint project between the City and Rebuilding Together. At the July 15,2008 meeting, the Agency approved the funding for this project. The grant will cover an exterior paint grant to both the main unit and the rear cottage. There are some interior lead concerns that will also be addressed. Two windows will be replaced and the front porch will be rebuilt. Work will start in Late July. At a later date, Rebuilding Together will rebuild the rear porch, replace the rear door, and provide earthquake straps for the water

10 heater. Staff will also work with Rebuilding Together on providing a wheelchair lift for this property using funds from the Accessibility Grant Program.

4321 Essex Street is still on hold as the owners are out of the State due to a family emergency. Staff is also concerned with this property as it appears that work was started in the basement without the proper building permits. The Building Department has been advised and will be kept informed of this concern. The owners have been advised to contact staff upon their return regarding the modifications to the property as well as continuance with the Rehabilitation Program.

5998 Beaudry Street will receive a new fence. The contracts have been signed and the contractor will begin work in mid-August. The project should be completed within two weeks

An accessibility Grant will be provided to the property at 1285 55th Street. There is a wheelchair ramp that needs to be repaired due to dry-rot issues. Along with the repair to the ramp, a security door and minor repairs to the bathroom will also be included. Work will begin in early august.

The property at 4383-89 Adeline Street has applied for a landscape and fence grant. This is a four-plex property that has received assistance in the past with an exterior paint grant and a loan for foundation work. This project will be requesting approval at the August 5th Agency meeting for the Executive Director to sign the appropriate agreements since funding exceeds $15,000.

Staff is also working on another landscape/fence project on Salem Street. The bids have been received and staff is working with a tenant and property owner on this grant. A contractor has been chosen and the Agreements have been drafted.

Staff will be sending out interest letters to the properties that meet the guidelines for the Multifamily Facade Grant. So far, the program has generated little interest. It is hopeful that interest will be sparked by this letter.

Tables with the status ofthe Housing Rehabilitation Programs are presented as Attachment 2.

Community Preservation

At the July Community Preservation Committee (CPC) meeting it was discussed and agreed by the members that the meetings should be held quarterly instead ofon a monthly basis. The next meeting will not take place until October 16, 2008. An informational staff report will be submitted to the City Council at the August 5th meeting advising ofthis change.

The following provides an update ofongoing Community Preservation projects:

1264 Ocean Avenue: Staff continues to monitor this address to make sure the property is in compliance with Municipal Code regulations. Staff is working with the City Attorney's office on a new compliance effort with the property owner as this property is again becoming a nuisance.

1261-63 64th Street: A letter was sent to the owners ofthis property regarding their interest in a

11 Multifamily Facade Grant. Staff had requested, but did not receive a response by June 30th and therefore canceled the application. The owner has been working with the Building Department on closing out their permits. The property will stay on this list and will be monitored.

1241 Sanford Avenue is on the list as a monitoring property. A letter was sent to the property owner regarding debris in the driveway. The owner complied with the request and removed the debris. However, the pattern of activity on the property is that once compliance is obtained, it is short-lived. Staffwill be working with the City Attorney on obtaining on-going compliance.

1270 64th Street. This property owner has received letters requesting they take action to abate the peeling paint on their property; no action has been taken. Since time has elapsed between the notification letter and action by the City, the City Attorney's Office will send new letters requesting compliance and permission to enter the property for the purposes of testing the soil and paint for lead. If access is denied, a court order will need to be obtained to test for lead contaminates.

5504 Beaudry Street. This property also has peeling paint. The owner has contacted staff regarding housing rehabilitation grants and loans that may be available to her to assist in maintaining and repairing this property. Information was mailed to the owner. Staffwill follow up to see if assistance is needed in completing this process.

The property at 5876 Doyle Street was discussed at the Community Preservation Committee meeting in regards to a tenant that is being evicted who has created a property nuisance by storing numerous items throughout the property. Although the items belong to the tenant, the owner is responsible for the maintenance ofthe property. A letter was sent to the property owner by the City Attorney. Per the owner, there has been some compliance. The property will continue to be monitored.

Staffwill be setting up a meeting with Catellus/Prologis regarding the East Bay Bridge Shopping Center. Landscaping and improved use ofthe center has been an item ofdiscussion.

Planning Staff will be working with Black and White Liquor Store regarding window signs. Another item of concern is the billboard on the side ofthe building facing 40th Street. Planning staffwill be reviewing that use as well.

The status of the Community Preservation Projects is summarized in the table described as Attachment 3.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS

Oak Walk Project Update

Construction of the Oak Walk mixed-use, new construction residential/retail project is proceeding and framing and installation of exterior facing is complete. The project includes approximately 5,000 square feet of retail fronting San Pablo Avenue, and 53 for-sale units, of which four are reserved for lower income households pursuant to an Agreement on Affordable

12 Units between the City and developer. The four below market rate (BMR) units will be priced at the moderate income level but made affordable to lower income households through provision of silent-second, downpayment assistance loans from the City's Ownership Housing Assistance Program. The Oak Walk general contractor, JR Roberts Deacon, is also undertaking the renovation of five single family houses on 41st Street. The Agency and developer, BayRock Residential LLC, have an executed Owner Participation Agreement (OPA) which provides a $1.6 Million Agency housing grant towards the houses' renovation costs, in exchange for their affordability for moderate income households at sale. The OPA provides for the disbursement of the $1.6 Million Agency housing grant in four progress payments. In April, the Agency issued the first progress payment for $400,000 which was upon completion of the foundation work for the houses. The next progress payment of $400,000 will be released upon completion of the roofing, exterior framing and siding, and interior framing and sheetrock installation. This work has not been completed and BayRock has not yet submitted an invoice for this second disbursement. Construction is anticipated to be completed at the end of 2008. Staffwill meet with the developer in August to discuss the marketing of the BMR units within the new construction condominium project and the five single family houses.

4001 Adeline Four-Plex Project

On May 6th, the Redevelopment Agency approved the issuance of a Request for Qualifications and Proposals (RFQIRFP) for the rehabilitation of the Redevelopment Agency's four-plex, located at 4001 Adeline Street at the northwest corner of Adeline and 40th Streets. To support the production of affordable rental housing, the RFQIRFP solicited developers (non- or for­ profit) to submit proposals to renovate the four-plex as affordable rental housing to low or very low income households. Developers were asked to propose the tenant population and income level to be served through the project, and the RFQIRFP indicated that the Agency would consider proposals for supportive housing or special needs types ofprojects. In July, the Agency received one response to the RFQIRFP from the Housing Consortium ofthe East Bay (HCAB), a nonprofit developer whose mission is to create affordable, accessible housing for individuals with developmental disabilities. HCEB has proposed to renovate the four-plex and provide four affordable rental units serving very low income developmentally disabled adults. The two one­ bedroom units on the first floor ofthe four-plex would be made fully accessible units for persons with developmental disabilities who also have mobility impairments. HCEB would contract for supportive services for the residents through Regional Center ofthe East Bay, a private nonprofit corporation that works with individuals and agencies to coordinate supportive services for people with developmental disabilities and their families. HCEB's proposal is currently under review by staffand will be presented to the Housing Committee at its September meeting.

Current Projects being leased/sold through Affordable Housing Set Aside Program

A chart showing the status of projects currently subject to the City's Affordable Housing Set Aside Program is presented as Attachment 4. This chart includes approved projects that include "inclusionary" or "set-aside" Below Market Rate units that are either for-sale or rental units.

Below Market Rate Resale Activity

13 There are five Below Market Rate (BMR) units currently on the market as resales. Two of the units are within the Terraces project at 5855 Horton Street, two ofthe units are at Oliver Lofts at 1200 65th Street, and one unit is located at Liquid Sugar Lofts. Owners of these units are responsible for the marketing ofthe units; however, the City posts the availability ofthese units on the City's website, Economic Development and Housing Department page under Ownership Housing resources, at http://www.ci.emeryville.ca.us/econdev/pdf/avail units7808.pdf.

City ofEmeryville Foreclosure Prevention andPredatory Lending Prevention Strategy

The July Progress Report on implementation of the City's Eight-Point Foreclosure Prevention and Predatory Lending Prevention Strategy is presented as Attachment 5.

California Hotel Update

On July 24th, Amy Hiestand and Helen Bean of the Economic Development & Housing Department attended an information meeting hosted by the City of Oakland regarding the California Hotel and plans being considered for its renovation and a new ownership and management structure. The California Hotel is located at 3501 San Pablo Avenue in Oakland at the southwest corner of 35th and San Pablo Avenue; the building is located very close to Emeryville's border. The building was originally constructed in 1930 and most recently renovated in 1990. Since 1989, it was been owned by CaHon Associates, a California Limited Partnership and affiliate of Oakland Community Housing Inc. (an Oakland-based nonprofit developer). The building is currently configured with 150 units of which 16 are studio units, 82 are single room occupancy (SRO) units with small kitchens, 47 SRO units with a shared kitchen, and one two-bedroom manager's unit. Unfortunately, over the years, the California Hotel has been poorly managed and maintained, and in recent years, the services provided to its tenants have declined. The outcome of the California Hotel transition plan is of importance to Emeryville since this project is located right on Emeryville's border. A solid management and occupancy plan for the building, as well as needed renovations to the units, would significantly improve the property which could assist in Emeryville's blight-elimination activities. Due to OCHI's financial and management troubles, City of Oakland staff from the Community and Economic Development Agency (CEDA) and its Department of Human Services have been working, for the past several months, to develop a transition plan for a number of OCHI's projects, including the California Hotel. In August 2007, Oakland issued a Request for Proposals in connection with the California Hotel to solicit proposals from developers to assume ownership of the project, undertake a complete building renovation, and develop a model permanent supportive housing project with support services for individuals who are formerly homeless. Oakland issued the California Hotel RFP to implement its Permanent Access to Housing (PATH) Strategy, its companion plan to the Alameda Countywide Everyone Home Plan to end homelessness (the Emeryville City Council endorsed the EveryOne Home Plan in Fall 2007). In response to the RFP, East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation (EBALDC) submitted a proposal , and over the past several months they have been working with Oakland city staff, the Alameda County Behavioral Health Care Agency, the Oakland Housing Authority, and the EveryOne Home Program director, to further develop the project financing and programmatic strategy. At the July 24th meeting, EBALDC staff presented an overview of the proposed program for the renovation of the California Hotel. Oakland and EBALDC staff

14 expressed interest in beginning a dialogue with the City ofEmeryville about how the project can best serve both communities in terms of serving the needs of homeless who are in the area, and how the concept of a new Wellness Center developed for the ground floor commercial space could serve the needs of both communities. A report on this project is tentatively slated for the September Housing Committee meeting.

Anderson & AssociatesAgreement

In July, the Emeryville Redevelopment Agency approve authorizing the Executive Director to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with Anderson & Associates for the administration ofthe City and Agency's homebuyers programs, which include the housing component ofthe City ofEmeryville's Affordable Housing Set Aside program and the Redevelopment Agency's homebuyers loan programs for Fiscal Year 2008-09.

HOUSING POLICY

fd On June 23 , the City submitted its draft 2009 Housing Element to the State Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) for its review and comment. The City Council approved submittal of the draft at its May zo" meeting. It is expected HCD's review will take sixty to ninety days. In Fall and Winter 200812009, staff will resume any necessary revisions to the draft Housing Element, and present these to the Housing Committee, Planning Commission and Council. The Housing Element must be adopted by the City and submitted to State HCD by June 30, 2009.

Housing Committee

The Housing Committee did not meet in July.

EMERVYaLE ARTS AND CULTURAL CENTER

fd On June 3 , the Redevelopment Agency approved entering into a contract with Museum Management Consultants to implement a strategic planning process for the Emeryville Arts and Cultural Center. The first phase of the strategic plan process will begin in August (the Assessment Phase) and involves MMC consultants conducting 30 to 40 confidential one-on-one stakeholder interviews at the City Hall offices to understand at an individual level what those in the community view as the vision for the arts center. The interviews have been scheduled for all th day on August 7th and August 18 • A letter was sent to potential interviewees the third week of July inviting them to participate in this process. In August, staffwill work on development ofa steering committee application and will give update presentations to the Park Avenue District th th Committee (on August 13 ) and Public Art Committee (on August 14 ). As provided in the Agency's contract with MMC, a steering committee of up to 10 members will be appointed by the Agency to work with staffand MMC during the strategic plan process. It is expected that the steering committee will begin meeting later in September on a monthly basis for approximately

15 ten months. A presentation on the Phase I assessment findings is scheduled for the October i h Agency meeting. The strategic plan process schedule may be found in Attachment 6.

PUBLIC ART PROGRAM

Appraisal Bids Received for Valuation on Two Works: Peninsula Tell-tail and Quagliata's Glass Panels

Work begins in July with Louise Barco Allrich Fine Art.

Bus Shelter Public Art Program

Staff is developing a Call for Entries on the theme of"Flora and Fauna" or "Urban Wilderness," to be vetted by the Public Art Committee and brought before the City Council for approval. The Call for Entries will be open to those who live or work in town and are over 18 years of age. Five local artists will be selected to design a series for six-month installation in the shelters. Discussion continues with City Attorney, Public Works, and Clear Channel to plan for purchase, installation, and maintenance, in compliance with City Council vote calling for no advertising in bus shelters. Current proposal from Clear Channels include installation and materials for maintenance for five years. The issue ofwho owns the bus shelters - the City or Clear Channel - is being considered as well as what happens to the bus shelter program after its five year contract period. Options would include renewing the City's contract with Clear Channel. The contract needs to entail remedies to ensure that the shelters remain under City control to ensure that advertising is not placed in them, and that we have a method to control maintenance and the timing ofany complaints about vandalism.

Americansfor the ArtsAnnual Conference

Staff attended the annual conference in Philadelphia, and purchased the CDROM ofthe "Public Art Year in Review 2008" to share with the Public Art Committee at its August 14, 2008 meeting, and with City staffat a brown bag lunch to be scheduled for September 2008.

East Bay Cultural Corridor

Public Art Coordinator met with other public art administrators throughout the East Bay to develop a coordinated effort to showcase the arts and culture in the area. The project is organized by the San Francisco and East Bay Community Foundations, who have applied for a grant to the Irvine Foundation to create a shared website for East Bay artists, arts organizations, and the Cities public art program. As stated in the Irvine Foundation proposal, the goal of the project is "to elevate the visibility and connectivity ofEast Bay artists and arts organizations with the end goal ofincreasing individual donations to the arts. TSFF and EBCF will facilitate the creation ofan on-line regional arts network. This site will become a platform for increased visibility, and provide opportunities and models for collaborative marketing, box office, and individual donor fund development efforts ...Arts organizations and city agencies seldom have the opportunity to collaborate across geography. By working within thefour contiguous cities of Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville, andRichmond, the project offers a new way ofworking on behalf

16 of artists and arts organizations which should have a long and lasting positive impact and ultimately increase donor support."

Public Art Committee

The Public Art Committee did not meet in July. The next meeting is August 14,2008.

GREEN CORRIDOR UPDATE

At its July meeting, the Green Corridor Committee reviewed the East Bay EDA East Bay Green Industry Cluster Study with its director, Bruce Kern, Industry Cluster draft report. Green industry clusters are defined as clusters on business focused on clean tech, renewable energy, green materials, green building, and solution providers. Key recommendations ofthe report for the Public Sector include expanding the Green Corridor Initiative to include the entire East Bay, joining green organizations to build capacity and share knowledge, adopt green economic development strategies, develop and adopt a sustainability Master Plan, and develop a sustainability index for each community. Many of these items are being addressed through the Climate Change Task Force.

The three subcommittees ofthe Green Corridor Committee -- Research, Business Development, and Workforce Development/Career Pathways - provided updates of their work efforts. The Research Committee is focused on creating a summary of UC Berkeley hard and soft science research related to green business and developed proposed metrics for the corridor to monitor progress towards sustainability. The Business Development Committee did not meet pending the release of the Green Corridor study described above. The Workforce Development/Career Pathways Committee is focused on developing a concept paper for high schools, which would extend the green career pathway from high schools to Community Colleges. Michael Cohen and Robin Johnston from UC Berkeley's Technology Transfer office provided a brief overview of how innovations get commercialized and recommended economic development efforts focus on companies that are formed by informal teams of science students or MBA students, who live in the area, as opposed to start ups formed by existing companies, VC funded research, or University initiatives.

A December summit ofthe Green Corridor is planned for early December.

BENEFITS OF REDEVELOPMENT

On June 1r: the Redevelopment Agency approved a contract with the Placemaking Group, which includes the development of a powerpoint presentation describing the benefits of redevelopment in Emeryville.

2) PUBLIC COMMENTS None.

3) AGENDA ITEMS a) Review Recap ofMay 30, 2008 meeting: Not discussed. Tabled for next meeting. At the next meeting, the minutes for May 2 and May 30 meetings, as well as the July 11 need to be reviewed. b) Discuss June 17 Council meeting and June 21 workshop. Staffand consultants reported on the main points discussed at the Council meeting. Horton Landing Park concepts: removal of straight ramp concept (Concept #3), addition ofstair options for Concept #2; and reduction in paving. West Landing: Liked concept ofstairs over Temescal Creek, but need affirmation from the Flood Control District. The presentation at the public meeting was reviewed. The public preferred Concept 1 for Horton Landing Park. There was no consensus on how to treat the drainage channel. Only one person had concerns about building the stairs above Temescal Creek, but their concerns diminished as the public meeting went on. The Committee asked staffand the design team to investigate the following: trough in stairs for bikes, wider ramps (12-ft between railings) at Horton Landing Park and between the bridge and the Bay Street garage, landscaping and turfoptions. There will be no space dedicated for dogs, as there is not room for it. By consensus, the Committee recommend to City Council to choose Concept 1, and to cover the drainage channel as a rain garden. c) Update on Design Elements, Costs and Schedule: Because ofthe scope ofthe project has changed, the schedule and cost will be revised. i) Discussions with outside agencies: An encroachment permit will be required from the Alameda County Flood Control District for construction ofthe stairs above the creek. A different and more difficult to obtain permit will be required if structure supports are built into the channel. The design team is still investigating as to whether supports in the channel are necessary. UPRR will allow cranes on the railway tracks during construction. UPRR will also consider selling the Phase II area after Sherwin Williams has acknowledged that they do not need the spur. Once the bridge alignment and height are set, the City will need to purchase an aerial easement. UPRR recently brought up a concern over the sight distance from the Amtrak Station, looking south. Sight distance would be reduced somewhat by the bridge, but the sight distance requirements need to be defined by UPRR. An on-site meeting is being planned with UPRR representatives. Other permits will be necessary from the Department ofFish & Game and the U.S. Army Corps ofEngineers ifthere are supports in the creek. Staffand consultants will conduct further analysis ofthe structures to determine which permits are necessary. ii) Main Bridge Span. The bridge design has begun. The curve has been stretched from the original concept to reduce the blind spots. There was some concern about another blind spot turning right onto the bridge from the west ramp. The blind spots can be reduced or mitigated through the railing design and lighting. Future discussion on visibility as bicycles enter the bridge from the ramp. iii) Garage Bridge Modifications. The bridge has to be modified to accommodate the removal ofthe diagonal bracing and additional live loads. It is complicated by the structural configurations at the ground level. BCA will compare construction costs to retrofit or replace the bridge. iv) West Landing. The angle ofthe stairs on the west ramp may change depending on support design below. BCA will continue to study the supports necessary to carry the stairs and will report ifcolumns in the channel are necessary. Request that the Consultants investigate a way to direct westbound bikes down the ramps instead ofdown the stairs. No recommendation to Council until more detailed engineering analyses are completed. v) Horton Landing Park Schematic Design. A revised concept plan was presented. Suggestion to replace paved area west ofcreek with decomposed granite until such time the elevator is built. Consultants advised to consider vehicle access to utilities and easements in placing landscaping and paved areas. Suggestion to consider artificial turfor low-water using ground cover to reduce water use for irrigation. Reclaimed water will be used for irrigation (already have pipe under Horton St.). Desire to put in a bus stop to accommodate AC 19 bus. This is a General Plan issue and should also be referred to Ped­ Bike Committee. Daylighting the creek is a goal, but the drainage channel is not the alignment ofthe creek. Friends ofTemescal Creek have not responded to emails about the project - staffwill try to contact. Committee recommends to City Council to replace the drainage channel with a partiallyfilled rain garden.

4) MEMBER COMMENTS. None.

5) NEXT MEETING. Friday, August 15,2008 at 8:30AM at the Garden Level, Old Town Hall.

ATTACHMENT 5 Predatory Lending and Foreclosure Prevention Strategy Progress Report- July 29, 2008

1. Outreach to Emeryville Residents

The City sent reminder emails to its various email lists, including the Emeryville Chamber ofCommerce, to let them know about the foreclosure prevention workshops at the Oakland Housing Fair held on June 14th. The City also advertised the foreclosure prevention workshops on its website.

2. Workshops on Predatory Lending and Foreclosure Prevention

The City worked with the City ofOakland to coordinate two foreclosure prevention workshops at the Oakland Housing Fair. The workshops had small attendance- the overwhelming interest at the fair was in the homebuyer workshops.

The City's homebuyer Programs Coordinator is working with the workshop presenters on a tentative October 25th workshop date.

3. Foreclosure Data Tracking

The Homebuyer Programs Coordinator has continued tracking Emeryville properties in the foreclosure process since December 2007. The database includes properties that have been in some phase ofthe foreclosure process during the past several months- those that have recorded Notices ofDefault (NOD's), recorded Notices ofSale (through foreclosure), or REO (Real Estate Owned) properties that have been taken over by the lender through foreclosure sale. It is not a cumulative list ofall properties in Emeryville that have been in the foreclosure process.

There are currently 68 properties on the list ofEmeryville properties in foreclosure, not including homes already lost through foreclosure. Ofthese properties, 13 properties have received NOD's in the past two months and 4 properties have foreclosure auctions scheduled in the next couple ofweeks. Ofthe 68 properties in foreclosure, 17 are in Watergate, 12 are in Bay Street, 9 are in Pacific Park Plaza, 7 are in Andante, 3 are in Emery Bay Village, 2 are in Bridgewater, 2 are in Elevation 22, 1 is in City Limits, 1 is in the Besler Building, 1 is in Bluestar, and 13 are in east Emeryville.

A total of 19 properties have foreclosed in the past six months, 10 ofwhich have foreclosed in the past two months. Ofthe foreclosed properties, six are in Watergate, four are in Pacific Park Plaza, four are in Bay Street, two are in the Terraces, two are in East Emeryville, one is in the Emeryville Warehouse Lofts, and one is in Liquid Sugar Lofts. 4. Outreach to Emeryville Property Owners in Foreclosure

The Homebuyer Programs Coordinator continues to do mailings to Emeryville property owners who have received Notices ofDefault or Notices ofSale, as well as property owners whose property is being sold due to property tax defaults. She has also attempted to contact all the Emeryville owners in default by telephone.

6. Counseling and Referrals for City Program Participants.

The City has received Notices ofDefault for one borrower who received a loan through the City's Rehabilitation Program- a paint grant with an outstanding balance of$9,483. The Homebuyer Programs Coordinator has contacted the owner to offer referrals to housing counseling agencies at the Agency's expense. The foreclosure tracking has also revealed two other possible pre-foreclosures for First Time Homebuyers Program loan recipients. The Homebuyers Programs Coordinator has contacted both ofthese program participants and both have communicated that the pre-foreclosure information is in error.

The Homebuyer Programs Coordinator has also been working with a First Time Homebuyer loan recipient on a proposed short sale. This item is on the August s" Redevelopment Agency agenda in closed session.

The Homebuyer Programs Coordinator has worked with City loan program participants and made referrals to the two HUD-approved housing counseling agencies that the City is retaining to provide services- the Unity Council Homeownership Center and the Community Housing Development Corporation ofNorth Richmond. So far, three program participants in pre-foreclosure have cured their defaults.

Sadly, one First Time Homebuyer loan participant has now gone through foreclosure due to ajob loss. He had purchased the home in the Watergate development in June 2006 with a 4% downpayment. His first mortgage at a 7.99% interest rate was due to adjust in June 2008. The Homebuyer Programs Coordinator referred him for free housing counseling. He had only returned one ofmany phone calls. The outstanding balance on the Agency's loan was $18,992.

The Agency Counsel has also been involved with another First Time Homebuyer Program participant who has declared bankruptcy, in order to protect the Agency's interest in its loan.

5. Coordination with Other Jurisdictions and Other Partner Organizations

Coordination with the Emeryville Chamber ofCommerce was also described in the Outreach section ofthis progress report. ATTACHMENT 6 Timeline: Emeryville Arts Center Strategic Planning Process

• Staffing Staff is reviewing candidates from an Accounting Technician eligibility list from a previous recruitment to identify a possible replacement for a staffmember who left us for a private sector position. We have also been working with the Human Resources Department to propose a reclassification ofthe Revenue Supervisor position from that ofa generic Management Analyst classification to a more appropriate technical classification ofRevenue Supervisor in order to strengthen the role to include strong knowledge and hands on experience in governmental accounting, standards and practices, internal control procedures, revenue auditing and automated finance software. HR is planning to present this proposed new classification to the City Council on August 19th for consideration.

• Financial Status as at of May 31, 2008 Staffprepared a Financial Status Report as at May 31st (see attachment) and will be bringing it to the Finance Committee on August 8th for review and discussion. Total General Fund revenues are expected to exceed amended budget while expenditures are tracking below target through the 1st eleven months. Notwithstanding, the weak economy continues to threaten consumer spending with the ills ofthe housing and credit markets adding additional pressures.

• Review of Hotel Compliance with City's Transient Occupancy Tax Ordinance Our auditors, Lance SolI Lungard CPAs (LSL) completed a three year review ofTOT payments ofthe City's four hotels. Deficiencies were identified for two properties. Payment of$7,000 has been received from one property while the other property has claimed airline crew stay exemption for the month in question. Staff is reviewing the documents that we recently received from them for such an exemption.

• Emeryville Transportation Management Association Audit for year ended December 31, 2006 Lance SolI Lungard CPAs (LSL) completed an audit ofthe TMA with an unqualified opinion. However, several significant deficiencies were noted with a material weakness in an internal profit and loss report that does not reconcile to the audited financial statements. Staffwill discuss this issue with the Finance Committee and identify action steps to address this with the TMA. July Progress Report Finance Department - 2 -

• Revenue Enhancement Measures Staffis inviting the Lew Edwards Group to participate in the August s" Finance Committee meeting to discuss revenues measures and to assist us to identify and map out strategies, mindful ofa public safety measure no later than 2009 as our commitment to the Fire safety bargaining unit.

• AB63 Program The City participates in a State program whereby it receives data from the State Franchise Tax Board relating to business entities that are located within the City of Emeryville. We have matched the data against our business license database and identified businesses that do not have a business license here in the City. As a result, we will be contacting these businesses to communicate to them our business license requirements.

• Permit Parking Renewal Staff sent out a renewal packet for the 2008-09 Parking Permit Program areas (see attached).

• GFOAAward The City received its 13th consecutive Certificate ofAchievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for fiscal year ended June 30,2007. Our annual CAFR continues to meet the high program standards ofthe GFOA, including communicating the financial story ofthe City ofEmeryville.

OVERVIEW

This report is as of the May 31st of fiscal year 2008 and reflects eleven months or 91.67% ofthe City ofEmeryville's 2007-08 Operating Budget Period. General Fund key revenues are discussed along with a summary discussion on general fund expenditures. Additionally, expenditure data from the same point in time of the prior budget period (FY 2006-07) is shown in Tables II for comparative purposes.

AMENDED BUDGETS

The revenue projections and budgets include amendments for supplemental appropriations approved by the City Council.

GENERAL FUND OVERVIEW

Financial Condition

At the mid point ofour fiscal year, General Fund revenues are at 94.7% and expenditures are at 84.2% of budget.

Excluding Interfund transfers, the City's top ten budgeted revenues account for approximately 92% oftotal General Fund revenues. Overall, these key revenues are performing near projections based on payment schedules and past trends. See Table I for a summary of revenues.

• Sales Tax: Receipts are at 90.7% of projected targets and includes payment of the sales tax triple flip in December and May. The sales tax triple flip, a revenue "swapping" procedure was imposed back in 2004 and will continue until California's Economic Recovery Bonds are repaid in approximately 14 years. The impact to counties and cities is the transfer of local sales tax revenues to the State for repayment ofthese bonds through the reduction ofthe local portion ofthe statewide rate by 25%, from I% to .75%. In exchange, the State transferred monies from Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) to replace the .25%, but payments are not made until December and May of each year. CompUSA, one ofour top 5 sales tax generators closed its Emeryville store in the 3rd quarter ofour fiscal year. As a result, a loss of sales tax revenues will occur until a

Page 1 new retail tenant is operational. Obviously, the generally weak economy, high energy related costs along with issues in sub prime mortgage and credit market are continuing 10 weigh on consumer and business spending.

• Transient Occupancy Tax, Utility Users Tax, Cardroom tax, and Franchise Fees: While TOT revenues have been strong through the 3rd quarter with a weak U.S. dollar and strong leisure market, the weak economy, especially higher fuel costs have now begun to drive down occupancy rates with the month ofMay registering a 2.7% year over year decline in tax revenues. Although our overall TOT revenues still compares favorably against budget, we will begin closer monitoring ofthese revenues for possible adverse trends. On the positive side, our UUT and Cardroom tax are meeting expectations as these results exclude May income as payments are typically received one month after they are earned. Franchise fees are at 96.9% of budget as we received the annual electric and gas fees in April.

• Business License Tax: Business license renewals are on a calendar year basis with a delinquency date of March 1 with collections exceeding expectation for the year.

• License and Permits: Although License and Permits revenues appear to be well ahead of projections at 123.3%, they include $491 thousand ofplanning and public works reimbursement/cost recovery revenues or 25% ofthis category's budget. Corresponding expenditures are recorded in the Planning and Building and Public Works departments as reimbursable services to account for the related service costs.

• Property Tax: Property tax apportionment payments are typically made in December, April and June. Although we received the December and April payment, it represented only a portion of the monies due us. Staffexpects continued pressure in this revenue category due to increase delinquencies, a slowdown in residential sales, price deterioration, and appeals in assessed values.

• Charges for Services: Programs that earned these revenues include the Recreation and Senior Centers and fuel sales at the Marina Fuel Dock. Year to date revenues are at 73% of projections, as Fuel Dock revenues have been negatively impacted by the November 2007 Cosco Busan oil spill, the general decline in the economy, the escalation of fuel costs, and the recent cancellation of the 2008 salmon fishing season, all of which contributed to the reduced demand for fuel.

• VLF in Lieu: Vehicle License In-lieu Fees represent property tax backfill from the State's reduction of the VLF rate from 2% to .65%. The] .35% difference is now backfilled by property taxes and paid in two installments to Cities by the County in December and May. With both payments already received, we are meeting revenue expectation at 100% ofbudget.

Expenditures. As page 1 ofTable 11 indicates, total expenditures are $25.8 million or 84.2% of budget. As is the case with various revenues, this amount docs not include all non-labor expenditures incurred during the period as invoices for goods and services are typically recorded after receipt of invoices from the vendor and approval by the procuring department. As a matter ofpractice, Finance distributes monthly reports of revenue and expenditures to each department for their regular review and monitoring. In addition, it is important to note that work and

Page 2 payment seasonality may account for non-linear spending patterns and regular review of actual expenditures as well as outstanding encumbrances (purchase orders) is an important part of each department's fiscal responsibility. In those cases where unexpected costs have occurred or are expected to take place within the balance of the fiscal year, requests along with justifications may be warranted as part ofour mid-year budget adjustment process.

NON GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES Page 2 ofTable II provides a summary of non General Fund expenditures, most of which are within budget. The increased expenditure level in the Housing Revolving Loan Fund is indicative ofthe high activity levels in our homeowner's loan program. Expenditures in the Litigation Fund include charges for settlement payments utilizing funds set aside previously.

SIGNIFICANT INCIDENTS

1. On Monday, July 14th at 1049 Hours we received a commercial fire alarm for 5648 Bay Street. After making an initial size up where no fire was showing, the Captain was met by a construction worker who reported they were working on a four-inch sprinkler line that was still under pressure when it burst, causing a significant water flow. The Engine Company and truck shut down the sprinkler system and assisted with water removal from the building. Progress Report - August 1, 2008 Page 2 of8

Typically, when one tenant vacates a commercial space, ifthe business rental economy is good and the landlord wants to release the space, the old tenant is generally replaced by a new tenant. The new tenant often finds need to make changes to the space, moving demising walls, rewiring the space for new electrical service, changing the plumbing, and modifying the sprinkler system coverage. In this case, the sprinkler system within the space needed to be reconfigured The sprinkler company that performs this work does so under close review by the Fire Department's Prevention Division. Whenever a sprinkler system needs to string new overheadpipe, the water supplyfor the whole system needs to be shut down, drained and the Fire Department needs to be notified None ofthese things happened in this instance. The sprinkler company infact tried to shut down the system, but they closed the wrong valve and did not attempt to drain the system.

As a result, when the sprinklerpipe was cut to make a new connection, the pressurized water within the system game gushingforth, causing a great deal of water damage for neighboring businesses including the Apple computer store next door. Deputy Fire Marshal George Warren was notified and did respond to the scene. The Fire Department shut down the system andassisted in salvage operationsfor the neighboring businesses. This has been a costly learning experience for the sprinkler company performing the sprinkler system reconfiguration.

2. On Monday, July 21st at 0322 Hours we responded to a call by the EPD to assist in a safety check ofa construction crane at 3801 San Pablo. Upon arrival the Engine Company found that the crane was moving slowly (as a kind ofweather vane) over the street. The crane did not appear to be damaged or in danger of collapse, but since this movement was obviously not under the control ofan operator, the area was secured by EPD.

In the recent past there have been a number ofcrane collapses around the country. Apparently the security cameras on site picked up the movement ofthe crane arm and a call was made by the security company stating they thought someone had climbed up the crane. This information was later amended to say that the crane was moving. Since there was little wind but the crane was still moving over the street and no one answered the 24 hour contractor notification phone number, the EPD made the decision to secure the area.

The crane was slated to be disassembled that morning. One suspicion is that some ofthe crane arm counter weights hadalready been removed in anticipation ofthe crane'sfull removal later that morning. This elimination ofweight may have allowed the crane to move more that would be normally expected

3. On Wednesda ,July 23rd at 1546 Hours we responded to a structure fire in the vicinity of«r6and Shellmound. We found smoke showing from the interior of Progress Report - August 1, 2008 Page 3 of8

Coulter Steel. The fire was contained to an oil quenching trench. The fire was extinguished with a small amount ofwater.

An oil quenching trench is used in steelprocessing to cool hot metal parts immediately after heatprocessing in order to achieve desired characteristics in different metals. There is a cooling tower associated with the trench to maintain certain temperatures. The cooling tower was not operatingproperly which allowed the oil to ignite. The fire was completely contained within the trench and it only took a small amount ofwater to suppress the fire. There was no dollar value loss to the structure or contents.

4. On Sunday, July 27th at 1519 Hours we were dispatched to the Telegraph Fire in Mariposa. We were part ofa five-engine Type I strike team. The Emeryville engine returned from the incident on Friday, August 1st at 2035 Hours.

Please refer to the Administration section ofthis report for a discussion ofour six-day response to the Telegraph Fire.

5 On Thursday, July 31st at 1638 Hours we responded to an EMS call for someone unconscious in the dumpster at the rear ofthe Gap store. On arrival we found a 57 year old woman face down inside an empty dumpster. We performed advanced life support functions and the patient was transported to Highland hospital.

The Engine Company was surprised to find a person in this dumpster. She was able to talk with our personnel but the information was confusing at best. She apparently hadgone to an upstairs garbage chute to throw out her garbage and fell into the garbage chute. It was laterfound out that she hadprobablyfallen from the 6th floor. She had numerousfractures and abrasions. EPD is investigating the circumstances that lead up to this incident.

ADMINISTRATION

1. The Telegraph Fire - Another Mutual Aid Assignment for Strike Team XAL 2001-A th On Friday, July 25 , a resident in rural Mariposa County was target shooting on his property when dry grass in his immediate vicinity ignited.' Ten days later, after 34,091

I Details ofthe ignition have not been released by the investigating agencies. Target shooting is not normally associated with wildland fuel ignition and, as a property owner in Mariposa County, the shooter was most certainly not interested in starting any fire that had any potential in dry fuels to ignite his home and all his property. Indeed, target shooting is not an illegal activity, nor is it recognized as an inherently dangerous activity from a fire safety perspective. Several sources ofignition from target shooting nevertheless are possible. A bullet, one with a ferrous metal jacket perhaps, could have ricocheted offa rock to produce sparks. Black powder firearms can discharge burning powder grains out the barrel along with the bullet, falling to the ground and igniting dry grass. Alternately, a gun barrel made hot from prolonged rapid firing could possibly ignite dry grass ifit was laid down after shooting. Progress Report - August 1, 2008 Page 4 of8

acres were burned, 28 residencies and 33 outbuildings were destroyed, and some $32.1 million were expended, the Telegraph Fire was 95% contained and thus no longer a viable fire threat. Cal Fire has reported that 3,171 firefighters and support personnel were employed to suppress the Telegraph Fire.

After the ignition on Friday, erratic wind conditions on Saturday and Sunday pushed the fire in multiple directions. By Sunday afternoon, OES was requesting mutual aid resources from Bay Area counties. Alameda County responded with four strike teams of five Type I structure protection engines and had arrived at the fire by sunset that day. Emeryville's Engine 2442 was assigned to Strike Team XAL 2001A, along with Albany, Alameda, Hayward, and Oakland. The Engine 2442 crew included Captain Jason Beach, Engineer Patrick Kennedy, Firefighter paramedic Chip Paynter, and Firefighter EMT Hamza Sabha. The Strike Team Leader was Oakland Battalion ChiefWilliam Towner. Since the strike team was made up ofType I fire engines, they were assigned to structure protection.

The Urban/Wildland Firefighting Schism. There is a fairly marked distinction between wildland firefighting and the structure protection provided by "urban" firefighters and their engines. Wildland firefighting is a highly physical job involving hiking long distances with heavy packs, cutting back vegetation fuels, and digging scratch lines in the duffofa forest floor down to mineral earth. It is hot work, performed by crews ofover a dozen firefighters working together in a kind of"assembly line" approach to build a control line through fuel beds. Because it is rough work, because there are no support engines nearby, because wildland firefighters rely upon their own strength and endurance working under adverse conditions, there is an elite status to it. And wildland firefighters are tempted to look upon "urban" firefighters with some distain as being soft and not rugged and self-reliant individuals working out in the wild woods.

Structure protection involves sitting near houses, preparing them to be defended from a fire front, and waiting for a fire to come to these defensive positions. When fire approaches structures, it is fought aggressively where possible, defensively when necessary, and may involve putting out fire on structures after the main fire front has passed. Preparation work around houses can involve moving wood piles, cutting down and clearing away ornamental vegetation, even felling nearby small trees and hauling them out ofthe way. Ladders are typically extended to roofs so that firefighters can extinguish roofspot fires or clear needles and leaves from gutters and valleys. Hose lines are extended so that firefighters can fight approaching flames by using the structure itself as a shield from the full force ofthe heat and smoke. Urban firefighters will make aggressive interior attacks when fire enters a structure through roofvents, gaps in eves, or broken windows. There is a temptation for urban firefighters to see wildland firefighters as being both "grunts" who are useful for their backs and not their minds; and as being too timid around structure fires, too willing to write offa home rather than tenaciously defending it. There is a kind ofelite status that urban firefighters attribute to their smart firefighting, their complicated engines, and their relative acumen in structural firefighting. Progress Report - August 1, 2008 Page 5 of8

Separate Strategies, Separate Tactics. The strategy behind wildland firefighting is that we trade land for control. Wildfire doesn't bum all land the same way, with the same degrees ofintensity and heat. Some areas will be exceedingly hot, while other areas will be relatively cool, with shorter flame lengths, fire creeping along the ground, and less violent fire behavior. Wildfire burns in patterns known as fire mosaics. And the mosaics depend on a complicated mixture oftopography, fuel types, vegetation disease, fuel moisture, ground water, surface water, relative humidity, slope, aspect or azimuth, time ofday, fuel temperature, wind, weather and climate. This all means that firefighting in the wildland areas is best done when and where the heat ofthe fire is least, where the flame lengths are shortest, where the fuel beds can be most easily divided with control lines, and where firefighters can gain access to those areas advantageous to building fire defenses. Occasionally, strong defense is called for to try to stop fire spread, these defenses usually involving aerial bombardment, bulldozing fuel breaks, and setting backfires. But those are just the high profile efforts. The real work on the daily grind is done by the hand crews. They are the foot soldiers, the infantry, the people who, despite all the technology and machinery, must win back the wildland yard-by-yard.

But in a wildland firefight, we need to pick our terrain and defensive opportunities very carefully. For example, a wind-driven fire will lie down after sunset when the wind subsides and the temperature drops. A fire on a slope will travel faster uphill culminating in its maximum heat just as it reaches the top. Once over the hill, the fire bums slower down the other side, most ofits heat energy having dissipated into the thermal smoke column now headed for the stratosphere. Control then is best applied, ifpossible, just over the hill on the lee side, a location referred to topographically as the military ridge. It is just below the crest ofthe hill, a location where the thermal column ofthe advancing main fire creates a wind-eddy effect at the hill crest, sucking air from the high lee side back up hill into the thermal column.

But houses and other buildings located in wildland areas are not built necessarily with fire defense topography in mind. They might be built for views, for access to ground water (from wells), for ease ofaccess from public roads, for property boundaries, for shade trees, and for many other reasons that do not include fire defense. The result is that structures may well face wildfire which is not relatively benign, not slowly creeping toward them, not absent aerial spotting from flaming embers and 100-foot flame lengths. Structural fire defense too often involves waiting for fire to come to us and dealing with whatever the fire has to dish out. Sometimes that fire intensity can be very awesome indeed, with 200-foot flame lengths on fires that push up into houses that shouldn't have been built where they were. In short, the control ofwildland fires when structures are involved means we cannot trade land for control; we have to stand and fight, or run and fight somewhere else, for someone else's house where conditions might be better.

The firefighters on structure protection often babysit structures and the flames never come. But ifthey do, they can be hot, fast, and the fight can be desperate. The location of many structures in the wildland setting often exacerbates the intensity offires when they do come upon houses. In extreme cases, the world around those firefighters becomes fire. And they are besieged. From the professional standards and personal thoughts ofurban Progress Report - August 1, 2008 Page 60f8 firefighters, it is exceedingly difficult psychologically to drive past a burning house. Wildland firefighters more often would just write it offand let it bum. The city folks are more tenacious with structures; it's their raison d'etre, why they're there.

Trouble, Trouble Right Here in River City.2 Each strategy, each set oftactics has its own difficulties, its own vulnerabilities for the firefighters involved in executing them. Urban firefighters get in trouble usually by underestimating the strength and suddenness ofwildfire "blow ups." Engine positioning is critical, so is safety zones and escape routes, and assessing the strength ofa flame front and the likelihood that a structure and its adjoining property can withstand a flame onslaught. Despite the boredom ofwaiting in the smoke for a fire that may never come, structure defense requires preparing for the worst. This means preparing a fire defense, but also preparing to cut and run ifneed be.

Wildland firefighters also risk the calamity ofbeing over-run by a rapidly building fire. Lookouts must be posted, escape routes selected, safety zones designated, fire shelters ready for deployment. As a hand crew moves across the landscape while cutting a control line, new escape routes have to be selected along with newer, more readily accessible safety zones. All the while, the fire's location must be known with strong certainty so as not to be surprised. The hand crew must always be aware ofthe "big picture" around them so as not to be caught working on a hot slope above an active fire that can gain on them before they can escape a blow up condition.' In the middle ofa forest or in vegetation that doesn't allow a view oftheir surroundings, keeping a situational awareness can be very tough, but vitally important.

Summary. There is little to justify elitist views and perspectives by any group of firefighters. Both wildland and urban firefighters have their respective challenges and roles in a campaign fire. From the wildland perspective, perhaps the houses shouldn't be built where they are and should be allowed to burn down ifconfronted by fire. Yet no one in state government, at least, seems willing to write offthe voters who live in such dwellings. On the other hand, there are those who believe that we should only defend structures, letting all natural caused fires burn out on their own, reducing the forest fuel loads in the process and decreasing our long term risk offire. This view would relegate wildland fire suppression to only those operations that will assist in saving communities.

For the Telegraph Fire, though, the risks ofletting it bum were simply too great to ignore. Indeed, the fire captured the attention ofthe nation. This was a fire in drought-parched fuels which had not burned previously in over 100 years. The fire was erratic and occasionally extreme. No one really knew where it would end up going. The concern was that a strong wind-driven fire in the mid-to-upper levels ofthe Merced River Canyon would spread all the way up to Yosemite Valley, there to conflagrate the crown jewel of

2 The phrase is taken from a sales pitch given by Professor Harold Hill to the citizens ofRiver City, Iowa in the Broadway and film musical, The Music Man. 3 An excellent treatment ofthe importance ofleadership and situational awareness is given by Norman Maclean in his book, Young Men and Fire, c. 1992 (published posthumously) University ofChicago Press. The work is a seminal historical analysis ofthe Mann Gulch Fire which, on August 5, 1949, claimed the lives of 12 United States Forest Service smokejumpers. It has immediate relevance for today's firefighting. Progress Report - August 1, 2008 Page 7 of8 the National Parks system. Such a loss as this would have made the Yellowstone fires of 1989 seem in retrospect like a mere wiener roast at a Boy Scout summer camp.

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

The July Training and Development consisted in almost 700 person hours oftraining. Over 200 hours were in physical fitness training to maintain the physical well being of the personnel. Many hours were spent on EMS and fire training with an auto extrication.

I) Auto Extrication: Extrication involves the use ofequipment to help remove persons from a situation that finds them trapped. One ofthe more simple extrications is the removal ofa child who has been locked inside a vehicle. Ifa person calls and says they have locked their keys in their car and asks can we make entry into the vehicle for them under normal circumstances we will refer them to a professional who does those this type ofwork. Ifwe are told a child is locked within the vehicle we will respond as ifa potential emergency exist. For more complex extrications we may use the ''jaws oflife", saws, air bags, wheel blocks, prying tools, EMS equipment, etc.

Using much ofthis specialized equipment requires a great deal of knowledge. We continually train on our equipment to maintain proficiency. This month each shift went through a two day training course on auto extrication. The first day was the information day and the second day was the hands on day. The first thing a firefighter must understand that the act ofauto extrication is dangerous both for the firefighter and the entrapped patient. With cars having multiple air bags and numerous safety systems the firefighter must understand how these systems work and how they impact the operations the firefighter will undertake. The hybrid vehicles offer their own set ofnew problems with the electrical systems they employ.

2) Multi-Casualty Incident Training: Most ofthe emergency medical service (EMS) involves one patient. We have a small percentage ofcalls that might involve two or three patients. We may sometimes need to call a second engine company and/or ambulance. On occasion we can get a call that can begin to overwhelm the system. This could be something as large as a major earthquake but can occur on the freeway involving multiple vehicles. It can occur on the City streets with a bus accident.

The Officer in charge (IC) needs to be ready to handle the incident as efficiently as possible. This is what is known as a Multi-Casualty Incident. The IC must determine what and how many resources will be needed to solve the problem. He must notify local hospitals ofhow many casualties there are and determine how many each hospital will take. Casualties will be ranked as to which will be cared Progress Report - August 1, 2008 Page 8 of8

for in what order (triage). There various other aspect to the Multi-Casualty Incident they the firefighter and paramedic must continually train for.

MEMORANDUM

DATE: August 1,2008

TO: Patrick D. O'Keeffe, City Manager

FROM: Charles S. Bryant, Director ofPlanning and Building @ SUBJECT: Progress Report - July 2008

I. City Council/Planning Commission/Committees

• City Council. The following planning and building related items were considered by the City Council/Redevelopment Agency at their July 15 meeting:

- Railroad Quiet Zones. The City Council held a study session on railroad crossing quiet zones, and directed staffto explore the possibility ofa grade separation (overpass or th th th underpass) at 65 , 66 , or 67 Street.

- South Bayfront/Pedestrian Bicycle Bridge. The Redevelopment Agency heard a status report on the recent community meeting held on Saturday, June 21, and selected the design for Horton Landing Park that lands the ramp in the center ofthe park with a 6-foot raised walkway approach.

- Marketplace. The City Council approved a General Plan Amendment and the first reading ofan Ordinance creating the Marketplace Planned Unit Development (PUD) that will involve a phased development consisting of674 multi-family residential units, 180,000 square feet ofretail, and 120,000 square feet ofoffice space. The Council's approval included two new conditions: (1) that the road widenings at the 1-80 off-ramp and along Powell Street will only occur iffound feasible by the comprehensive streetscape study ofthe area which is to be undertaken shortly, and (2) that any proposed residential units adjacent to the railroad will first be required to have noise and air quality studies prepared and any identified mitigations incorporated. Final passage ofthe PUD Ordinance is scheduled for August 5.

- Pixar. The City Council passed the second reading ofan Ordinance approving amendments to the Pixar Development Agreement. The Ordinance had been introduced on June 3.

- Appointments. The Council appointed John Scheuerman to the Planning Commission to fill the vacancy created by Commissioner Angela Baranco's recent resignation. The Council also reappointed Commissioners Gail Donaldson and Lawrence "Buzz" Cardoza. In addition, the Council appointed A. Robin Orden to the General Plan Update Steering Committee to fill the resident vacancy created by Spencer Green's resignation. Progress Report - Planning and Building Department July 2008 Page 2

• Planning Commission. The Planning Commission considered the following items at its July 24 meeting:

Election ofOfficers. The Commission elected Gail Donaldson as Chair and Arthur Hoff as Vice Chair for the July 2008 - July 2009 term.

Commission Retreat. The Commission decided to hold their annual retreat on Saturday, September 27. Commissioners expressed interest in a bus tour, focusing on "lessons learned" from projects that they previously approved that have now been built, including how stormwater requirements ("C3") affect the design ofprojects; utility undergounding opportunities and challenges; and urban design examples in Emeryville, Oakland, and Berkeley. They were also invited to visit a unit in Pacific Park Plaza as an example of high-rise urban living.

Commission Policy on 40th Street Trees. Under Director's Reports, the Commission reviewed their recent decisions regarding street trees at the AgeSong and Granite Expo projects on 40th Street. Following a PowerPoint presentation by the Planning Director on the urban design implications ofstreet trees, the Commission expressed agreement with the staffrecommendation that street trees should be located between the curb and sidewalk unless physical impediments make this impossible, and that existing street trees should be retained wherever possible, consistent with adequate sidewalk design.

- Emery Station Greenway. The Commission held a Study Session to review a proposal to construct a new, four story 142,800 square foot office/research and development building on a 0.89 acre lot. The project involves demolition ofan existing 8,589 square foot single story warehouse/office building and includes Greenway improvements in the northern portion ofthe block and expansion ofthe plaza at Powell and Hollis Streets. The Commission generally expressed concern with the project's lack ofcompliance with the North Hollis Plan. At least four Commissioners had concerns with the building's massing and bulk. There was also a concern expressed about the building's ability to integrate with Phase II ofthe project. In particular, one Commission wanted the applicant to prepare a study that would ensure that the loading dock could be relocated from Hollis Street to 59th Street in Phase II. Commissioners Donaldson, Martin and Scheuerman were appointed to an ad hoc committee to work with the applicant on the design ofthe Greenway.

Bakery Lofts, Phase IV. The Commission considered and denied a request to modify a Condition ofApproval regarding undergrounding ofutilities imposed by the Planning Commission as part ofapproval ofa Conditional Use Permit, Design Review and parking variance for construction of 16 for-rent units, 2 live-work units and a 1,450 square foot cafe on a 12,339 square foot parcel on the east side ofAdeline Street at 47th Street. The project was originally approved by the Commission on September 27,2007.

• General Plan Update Steering Committee. At their July 22 meeting the General Plan Update Steering Committee reviewed drafts ofthree chapters ofthe new General Plan including: Chapter 1 - Introduction; Chapter 2 - Land Use; and Chapter 4 - Parks, Open Progress Report - Planning and Building Department July 2008 Page 3

Space, and Public Facilities. They were generally supportive ofthe content and organization ofthe draft chapters. Topics for further discussion included population and job growth, floor area ratios and parking in the North Hollis area, regional and local serving retail, comments on the draft by the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, and characterization of "small town feel". Committee members were asked to send all comments involving minor language changes and corrections to staff.

Consultants presented an example ofan action program as a separate chapter, and a sample document showing the formatting design for the Plan. In general, the Steering Committee expressed support for the action program as a separate chapter. There were no objections to the sample format and it was the sense ofthe Committee that staffshould work with the consultants on the document layout.

Under Public Comments John Nady and Stuart Gruendl addressed the Steering Committee and requested that the Committee amend their recommendations for the 2.2 acre Nady site at the northwest comer ofthe city to allow for high density residential and destination retail. The Committee did not respond to this request.

• Park Avenue DistrictAdvisory Committee. The committee did not meet in July. The next quarterly meeting will be on August 13. The City Council is expected to appoint a resident to the vacant position on the Committee on August 5.

• Bicycle/Pedestrian Subcommittee. At its July 14 meeting, the Subcommittee recommended a crosswalk on Shellmound Street at the Sheraton Four Points Hotel, adding tum lanes at intersections only ifit is proven that changes would also improve the cyclist and pedestrian experience, a pedestrian-only signal phase at Christie/Shellmound, and study ofa railroad undercrossing at the Amtrak station.

• Transportation Committee. At its July 22 meeting, the committee discussed traffic and parking for temporary relocation ofthe elementary school to the Middle School site on 618t Street; recommended a trial, pedestrian-activated pedestrian-only signal phase at Christie/Shellmound; and approved presentation ofa railroad undercrossing idea to staffand consultants.

• South Bayfront Pedestrian-Bicycle Bridge Committee. At its July 11 meeting, the committee discussed bridge approaches and the design ofHorton Landing Park.

II. Planning Division

• Development Coordinating Committee. The DCC met on July 16, 2008 with representatives from the Planning and Building, Economic Development and Housing, and Public Works Departments, and the City Attorney's Office discussing the following issues:

- BevMo! at Powell Street Plaza. The Committee generally had no major concerns with the project. Comments were made that there should be adequate space for recycling and that a recycling plan needed to be submitted; that the Shellmound frontage should be Progress Report - Planning and Building Department July 2008 Page 4

improved; that there should be bicycle racks both inside and outside the building; and that the applicant should be made aware ofthe eco-friendly foodware ordinance. It was noted that there is a BevMo! store in Albany that should be observed to identify any other relevant issues.

Emery Station Greenway. The Committee expressed a general concern for the project's non-compliance v.ith a number ofNorth Hollis Plan guidelines. A strong concern was expressed regarding the lack ofactive uses and the stark design along Hollis Street. It was felt that the facade at the triangular comer elevation was contrived and that the combination ofmaterials was awkward. There was concern about the building's non­ compliance with the height step-back facing the Greenway and the size and quality ofthe shadow study submitted by the applicant. It was noted that the proposed garage entry was too close to the intersection ofHollis and Powell Streets and that street trees along Hollis Street might not be viable due to a large number ofunderground utilities. It was also noted that the proposed retail space is too small to be viable given the requirements for public restrooms and the need for kitchen space as well as a grease interceptor and a flue to the roof. Given the variety ofissues, the Committee proposed an alternative ground floor plan that would address some ofthe major concerns. The plan moves the garage entry north, adjacent to the lobby, and creates a larger retail space that wraps around the triangular southern point ofthe building thereby creating retail area along both Hollis Street and the Greenway. This alternative would result in the loss ofsome parking but this could be accommodated on an interim basis in the Emery Station East building across the street until the Phase II building is constructed. This design addresses Public Works staffs concern regarding proximity ofthe garage entry to the intersection; Economic Development staffs concern regarding creating larger retail spaces that would be more viable; and Planning staffs concern ofcreating active uses along Hollis Street. The Committee also discussed the procedure for approval ofthe Greenway improvements, and recommended that the Planning Commission appoint an ad-hoc committee consisting ofthree Commissioners to work with the applicant on Greenway design before it went to the City Council for approval.

Horton Landing Park. DCC members reviewed and discussed the latest plans for Horton Landing Park that were presented at the community meeting on June 21.

Traffic and Parking Issues for Middle School/Anna Yates. The Committee reviewed the proposal to convert 61st Street to one-way eastbound between Hollis and Vallejo Streets, install a white "passenger loading" curb in front ofthe Middle School building on 61st Street, and convert the parallel parking on the west side ofBeaudry north of59th Street to perpendicular parking with permits for teacher during school hours only. No major issues were identified.

• Current Planning Projects. In addition to the projects noted above, staffis processing the following current planning projects:

- 39th and Adeline Residential Project. This is a proposed l Ol-unit residential project on the east side ofAdeline Street between 39th Street and Yerba Buena Avenue, with a portion ofthe site in the City ofOakland. A Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) Progress Report - Planning and Building Department July 2008 Page 5

was published jointly by the Cities ofEmeryville and Oakland on May 14, 2008, and the public comment period ended on July 7,2008. A Final EIR is now being prepared. On July 14, the Oakland Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board reviewed the project and commented that the facade retention and partial project alternatives should be further studied. It was also noted that the existing building represents one ofthe last single story brick warehouses in that area, and to see it become another stucco loft building would be a shame.

Papermill Project. The applicant has redesigned the project in response to comments received from the City Council at a study session on April 1. LSA Associates is preparing an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND); the administrative draft was received on July 21, and is scheduled to be published in August following staff review. On July 25, staffmet with the applicant to discuss the traffic analysis. The project is tentatively scheduled for a public hearing before the Planning Commission on September 25,2008. Ultimately, the project will require City Council approval because it involves demolition ofa "significant structure" under the City's Preservation Ordinance.

- Site B Mixed Use Development. Preparation ofthe Environmental Impact Report is on hold pending revisions to the project by the applicant.

- Baker Metal. A Planning Commission study session was held on September 27,2007 for this proposal to reuse the existing Baker Metal at 1265 65th Street, and to build new townhouses on an adjacent parcel on Ocean Avenue. The applicant revised the plans based on the Commission's comments and then held a community meeting on March 5, 2008. Plans were further revised based on the neighbors' comments and subsequent discussions with City staff. The revised plans were reviewed by the Development Coordinating Committee on May 14, 2008, where a number ofissues were raised by the Building Division, Public Works Department and Fire Department. The applicant has held meetings with representatives from Building, Public Works, and Fire in an attempt to resolve the outstanding issues, and is working on another redesign ofthe project.

- Emeryville Center ofCommunity Life. This multipurpose school and community facility is now planned to be developed on the Emery Secondary School (formerly Emery High School) site on San Pablo Avenue between 4ih and 53rd Streets. A community meeting to review the options is planned for October 4.

- Pixar. As noted above, amendments to Pixar's Development Agreement were approved on second reading by the City Council on July 15. On July 17, Pixar submitted plans for their Phase II building for a Planning Commission study session on August 28. A formal application for a Final Development Plan (FDP) for the Phase II building is expected in the near future, and is tentatively scheduled for a public hearing at the October 23 Planning Commission meeting. This would be followed by City Council consideration in November.

Emery Station Greenway. As noted above, this proposed four-story office/research and development building on Hollis Street between Powell and 59th Streets was reviewed by Progress Report - Planning and Building Department July 2008 Page 6

the Development Coordinating Committee on July 16, and by the Planning Commission at a study session on July 24. The applicant is working on modifications to the design to respond to concerns expressed by staffand the Commission.

Clear Channel Billboards. On July 15, staffmet with representatives ofClear Channel to discuss the settlement agreement regarding removal ofthe existing billboard at the Ambassador housing site at 36th and Peralta Streets. Part ofthe agreement calls for removal of an existing billboard along the 1-80 freeway about 600 feet north ofPowell Street, and its replacement with a new billboard about 600 feet south ofPowell, in the Powell Street Plaza shopping center. This will require a variance from the Zoning Ordinance provision prohibiting new off-site advertising signs. The Planning Department subsequently received the variance application, and it is scheduled for the August 28, 2008 Planning Commission meeting.

HSP Site. On July 22, staffmet with a representative ofthe Urban Housing Group, which is exploring the possibility ofdeveloping a "high end" rental housing project in th Emeryville. He has specifically targeted the HSP site bounded by Hollis, 59 , Doyle, and 61st Streets, but was also interested in the overall City zoning and the General Plan Update process, as well as the City's various fees and requirements.

5701 Hollis Street. Staffmet with the owner and agent ofthe small gray triangular building at the northwest comer ofHollis Street and Stanford Avenue on July 14, to discuss its possible future reuse. This would likely involve a swap ofthe City's parking lot on Stanford Avenue for additional width ofthe Greenway between Stanford Avenue and Powell Street, and a contribution towards Greenway construction.

- AgeSong. Staffreceived a County letter saying no further action is required regarding underground storage tank removal. Planning staffsigned offthe grading, foundation and superstructure permits,

Amyris Biotechnologies Pilot Plant. Staffreviewed and signed the building permit plans.

• The Building Division continues to provide "fast track" plan check for small projects, which receive comments and permits over the counter from our Building Permit Technician/Plan Checker, and to provide expeditious tum-around ofplan check comments for larger projects through our consulting firm, WC3. In July, these procedures facilitated the following submittals: Same day plan check/permit issuance (fast track) for 10 submittals. - Permit issuance or first plan check comments within an average oftwo weeks by WO plan check stafffor 17 applications submitted.

• Building Division stafffielded a total of309 counter contacts and 204 telephone queries in July.

• The Building Division performed 587 inspections in July. This is an average of 196 field inspections per month by the Building Division's three building inspectors (one City staffand two WC3 staff), or 8.5 inspections per day per inspector. Average inspection times vary Progress Report - Planning and Building Department July 2008 Page 11

based on the type ofeach project. For example, a water heater replacement/furnace replacement inspection may take 10-20 minutes while some ofthe larger complex development projects account for a minimum oftwo to three hours per day for one inspector with additional field staffsupport on a periodic basis. Presently, field inspections continue to be granted without any roll-over requests from the previous business day. All inspection requests are typically made through the Building Division's voice mail system 24 hours until 7:00 a.m. the day ofthe inspection request.

• The Building Division staffcontinues to have informal daily discussions at 7:00 a.m. regarding Building code issues, staffing logistics, concerns relating to specific projects and continual fine tuning ofthe overall field inspection services. In addition, joint inspections by field staffand the ChiefBuilding Official continue to be conducted as time permits to ensure familiarity with all projects, to allow for coverage ofany staffabsences, and to ensure consistency ofcode infractions and interpretations.

IV. Administration/Other

• California Building Standards Commission Update (CBSC). The ChiefBuilding Official attended the CBSC meeting in Sacramento on July 17 and witnessed the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) take a major step approving the first set ofstatewide Green Building standards by a unanimous vote. This action by the CBSC marks the first approval ofGreen Building standards for all buildings, by any state in the nation. The standards were introduced as part ofthe Commission's annual rulemaking process and will become effective the spring of2009. The provisions as approved include mandatory measures for residential construction and voluntary measures for other occupancies. State officials see this as the first step in transitioning to mandatory standards for all buildings across the state. Local jurisdictions will have discretion to exceed these state standards. The standards, developed by the California Department ofHousing and Community Development (HCD), will be phased in to the state building code over the next three years.

Highlights ofthe newly approved standards include:

Energy Efficiency (July 2009): The HCD standards require compliance with the California Energy Commission's Residential Energy Efficiency Standards, which will increase the stringency ofexisting statewide energy standards by 20 percent. The new standards will make new California homes approximately 50 percent more energy­ efficient than homes built to national energy standards.

- Air Quality, Moisture Control and Resource Conservation (January 2011): There are 16 features in this category that will become mandatory at the same time as the 2010 edition ofthe California Euilding Code takes effect, currently projected for January 1,2011. Among these environmentally friendly features are requirements for low- or no-VOC (volatile organic compound) adhesives, paints and coatings; high-efficiency air conditioning filters to better filter out dust and particulates; and always-on exhaust fans to ensure better fresh air circulation in the home. Progress Report - Planning and Building Department July 2008 Page 12

Water Conservation (July 2011): The HCD standards require a 20 percent reduction in overall water use within all new homes starting on July 1, 2011. While this new water­ conserving building code will allow a variety ofcompliance options, it is anticipated that compliance with this requirement will commonly be met via installation ofsuper-low flow toilets and showerheads. • Clean Air Plan. Associate Planner Diana Keena attended a Bay Area Air Quality Management District 2009 Clean Air Plan public workshop on July 15. The District's strategy will include promoting alternative travel modes and cleaner vehicles and fuels, with measures such as transportation demand management and parking changes. In the fall of 2008 the District will hold workshops presenting evaluation methods for control measures and seeking input on control measures to include. The July presentation is on the District's website at www.baaq1l1d.gov. v. Status of Major Development Projects

PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE MEETING

The monthly meeting ofthe Public Safety Committee was called to order at 9:00 am on Thursday, July 3,2008 by Council Member Nora Davis. Committee members and staffpresent included; Mayor Ken Bukowski, City Manager Pat O'Keeffe, Assistant Fire ChiefGeorge Orrego, Public Works Supervisor Mike Mahoney, Police ChiefKen James, Commander Jeannie Quan, Captain LaJuan Collier, Sergeants Richard Davis and Mike Allen, and Crime Analyst Adrienne Robinson.

Fran Quintell, a resident ofWatergate, addressed the Committee during the Public Comment section ofthe agenda to express her concerns for the noise generated by the police motorcycles entering and leaving the Police Building as well as the noise made by the security gate opening and closing. Ms. Quintell told the Committee that as a result ofthe new fence installed on the perimeter ofthe Watergate Complex, she now hears noise that had previously been blocked by the solid wall.

Assistant Fire ChiefOrrego reported that the Fire Department responded to 143 emergency calls during the month ofJune. The calls for service included; 1 vehicle fire and 1 outside fire; 21 false alarms; 111 medical calls, 36 in District 1, 75 in District 2; and 8 freeway related responses.

Crime Analyst Adrienne Robinson reported on the crime activity during the month ofJune. The City experienced increases in the crimes ofpetty theft, grand theft and robbery when compared to May. The City experienced decreases in the crime ofwhen compared with the previous month. All other crime categories remained constant for the month. Analyst Robinson reported fifteen (15) juveniles and fifty (50) adults arrested during the month.

The Committee discussed the impacts on traffic and parking that temporary moving ofthe elementary school to the Ralph Hawley site on 61st Street. Sergeant Mike Allen told the Committee that the Police Department's Traffic Section has analyzed the problem and is recommending that consideration be given to temporarily making 61st Street a one-way east bound street, creating perpendicular parking along the west curb ofthe 5900 block ofBeaudry 1 and designating that parking for teachers and school employees, and finally extending the white passenger loading zone which currently exists along the south curb of61st Street, from Doyle to the eastern property line ofthe school. The Committee agreed with the suggestions and directed staffto bring this item forward for the entire Council's consideration at the August 5th Council Meeting.

The Committee discussed the problem ofbicycles using the walkways in the City's Marina. The City had previously determined that the walk ways were too narrow to accommodate both bicycle and pedestrian traffic and had prohibited bicycles on the pathways. Council Member Davis was concerned that there was insufficient signage along the pathway to advise bicyclist ofthe prohibition. Mike Mahoney told the Committee that Public Works would erect more signs both at the entrances to the paths and along the paths.

The Committee discussed safety issues at the Emeryville Marina. Don Gussier ofthe Marina told the Committee that there seems to be an increase in the number ofhomeless people staying overnight in their vehicles. Ken James told the Committee that the police officers are conducting routine security checks ofthe Marina, and when they can determine that someone is sleeping in their vehicle are taking the appropriate action. Ken went on to say that one ofthe problems for the police is identifying which vehicles belong to Marina residents and boaters. Mr. Gussier told the Committee that he is working on developing a sticker to be place on the cars ofthe residents to help with this problem.

Sergeant Richard Davis made a presentation ofthe Police Department's new Citizen's Academy. The Academy will be a nine week course, which will meet once a week, that will familiarize the participants with all the functional aspects ofthe Department. Instruction will be provided by members ofthe Department and it is hoped will provide a pool for the Department's future Volunteer in Policing Program. Ken James told the Committee that he is hopeful that the first class will begin in September.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES DIVISION

Criminal Investigations

Administrative Analyst Adrienne Robinson reviewed seventy-five crime reports, and was assigned thirteen crime reports for follow up. Analyst Robinson reviewed sixty-one Field Contacts and compiled team activity statistics for Sergeant Sierras. During her monthly compilation ofcrime statistics, Analyst Robinson noticed an increase in thefts ofChevy SUV type vehicles. Analyst Robinson compared street robberies ofMay and June 2008, and found there were four in May compared to ten in June which showed an increased of 150%. All robberies appeared to be at random showing no pattern.

Analyst Robinson trained newly hired police officer Richard McDiarmid, in the report writing formats in the Alliance Records Management System. Additionally, Analyst Robinson provided McDiarmid mandatory lecture and training in the use ofNCIC (National Crime Information

2 Center) and CLETS (California Law Enforcement Telecommunications Systems) which included an explanation ofthe laws, policies, and ramifications regarding misuse ofthe systems.

Analyst Robinson assumed the duties ofProperty and Evidence Clerk while PSTs Johnson and Booze were on vacation. Additionally, she processed Oaks Card Room and Live Scan applicants. Also, Analyst Robinson worked the Arts Festival held at the Bay Street Mall as a representative ofthe Department, while greeting citizens and handing out bags filled with stickers, pencils, whistles, coloring books, and fingerprint identification booklets.

PST Connie Johnson processed approximately 30 employees ofthe Oaks Card Club, 20 employees ofNetwork Management and 3 Taxi driver permits. PST Johnson processed each applicant by fingerprinting and running a background check. Upon completion ofthe record checks the folders ofeach employee were forwarded to Sergeant Diotalevi for final authorization and approval. PST Johnson then issued the photo badges to the respective departments or individuals.

PST Johnson processed approximately 50 subpoenas issued to departmental employees by manually logging the subpoenas, entering them into Alliance and disseminating them to the employees. PST Johnson notified the District Attorneys, Department ofMotor Vehicles, Board ofPrison Terms, Traffic Department or other agencies ofthe Officers' receipt and schedule in regards to court appearances.

PST Johnson cataloged all items booked in the Property system for either evidence or safekeeping and entered each item into the Alliance system, then organized and stored the property. PST Johnson released property to detectives, officers and District Attorneys for court and/or investigation purposes. PST Johnson also released property which was held for safekeeping to the owners. PST Johnson transported drugs, latent prints and other items to the Alameda Crime Lab and CIB for testing and/or analysis.

PST Johnson organized property for purge at the Public Works facility and entered approximately 25 Court Case Disposition Reports into the Alliance system. PST Johnson assisted Detectives Alton and Goodfellow in assembling shelves at the Public Works facility. PST Johnson also worked with Officer McDiarmid in cleaning and organizing the Property and Evidence room.

Detective Lance Goodfellow completed follow up investigations with suspects, victims and witnesses and presented the following criminal cases to the District Attorneys Office: petty theft, petty theft with priors, grand theft, DUI, domestic violence, counterfeit traveler's checks and misdemeanor and felony probation violations.

Detective Goodfellow is currently working with Richmond Heights (Ohio) PD with two identity theft reports. They have taken two courtesy reports offraudulent purchases made at Circuit City and Apple Store in Emeryville. The victim is the same in both cases and we are working together in locating the suspect who is possibly living in San Francisco.

3 Detective Goodfellow received a case where a patrol officer conducted a traffic enforcement stop on a vehicle for having no front license plate. After the vehicle stopped, the rear passenger jumped out ofthe vehicle and fled on foot. During the foot pursuit the suspect dropped a gun. After the officers caught and arrested the fleeing suspect, they were able to locate the gun. A check on the gun in the national gun system revealed it was an outstanding stolen weapon. During a search ofthe arrestee, officers located a cell phone in his pants pocket and later determined the cell phone was stolen during a robbery in Oakland, which took place a couple of days prior.

Detective Goodfellow contacted OPD and provided them with the arrestee's name and a synopsis ofthe case. OPD completed a photo line-up with the arrestee in the line up. OPD met with the robbery victim. The robbery victim positively identified the arrestee as the suspect who robbed him.

Detective Krimsky filled in as the acting CIS Sergeant for a week while Sergeant Diotalevi was away on vacation. Detective Krimsky is still assisting Detective Alton in developing leads in the April homicide.

Detective Krimsky assisted another detective in the investigation ofa robbery and kidnap that occurred. In this case the victims responded to an advertisement on Craigslist.org for the purchase ofsmart phones. Upon their arrival, the person allegedly selling the phones got in the car with the victims before pointing a gun at them and making the driver drive to a desolate area in the north end ofEmeryville where he robbed them oftheir money and property.

Detective Krimsky is currently investigating a case where an older male who claimed to bea newspaper columnist approached a female juvenile. The male asked to interview her and when she refused, he persisted on her taking his phone number. The male took her picture with his cell phone camera. Detective Krimsky has developed leads to the suspect's identity and is currently working on obtaining an arrest warrant based on a positive identification the victim made. Detective Krimsky checked the subject's history and discovered he has previous violent sexual offense convictions in two states.

Detective Alton continued to follow up on the murder ofa man who was shot inside his residence.

The outside areas need updating to ensure the safety of the children and encourage children to explore the out-of-doors world that is filled with colors, texture, physical activity challenges, imagination inspiring play areas, and water fun.
