EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
City of Alameda (City) staff recommends approval of the allocation of East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) System Capacity Charge (SCC) and Wastewater Capacity Fee (WCF) credits to support all four phases of the Rebuilding Existing Supportive Housing at Alameda Point (RESHAP) project.
In 2017, the City secured $19.5 million in SCC credits and $7 million in WCF credits from EBMUD as part of the Water Infrastructure Agreement at Alameda Point (Exhibit 1). The City Council adopted allocation criteria prioritizing credits for projects delivering public benefits, such as affordable housing.
This action allocates a total of $2,852,180 in SCC credits and $712,384 in WCF credits to RESHAP, or $3,564,564 overall, across its four phases. Staff also recommends City Council delegate authority to the City Manager to issue letters or agreements pledging these credits as each phase seeks funding.
