Consider Requesting an Update on Project Stabilization Agreements (PSA) and Consider Providing Direction on the Priority, Deadline and Parameters of PSA for Alameda Point and Public Works Projects. (Councilmember Oddie)
Body
COUNCIL REFERRAL FORM
Name of Councilmember requesting referral: Jim Oddie
Date of submission to City Clerk (must be submitted before 5:00 p.m. on the
Monday two weeks before the Council meeting requested): 8/7/2015
Council Meeting date: 9/1/2015
Brief description of the subject to be printed on the agenda, sufficient to inform
the City Council and public of the nature of the referral:
Request that the Interim City Manager update the City Council on the unanimous
direction given by the City Council on December 3, 2013 to negotiate tentative
Project Stabilization Agreements as over twenty-one (21) months have elapsed
without the City Manager/Interim City Manager bringing a revised resolution back
to the City Council as directed (meeting minutes attached). Request that the City
Council provide direction to the Interim City Manager on the priority, deadline,
and parameters of Project Stabilization Agreements for Alameda Point (based on
the agreement recently entered into regarding Site A) and Public Works projects.
As background, on September 21, 2010, the City Council discussed two similar
referrals - one submitted by Vice Mayor Frank Matarrese (then still in his
previous tenure as a councilmember) and one submitted by former Mayor Marie
Gilmore (also still in her term as councilmember and not yet elected Mayor)
(referrals attached). At the meeting, Council gave direction to the then Interim
City Manager to review templates for Project Labor Agreements and provide
council with an update sixty (60) days later (minutes attached).
Three years later, on September 24, 2013, the City Council conducted an
extensive discussion regarding possible Project Labor Agreement (PLA) policy
(minutes attached), and provided individual direction to the City Manager and
City Attorney. Council discussed, but did not adopt, a Project Stabilization
Agreement Policy at Alameda Point, at the December 3, 2013 meeting, and gave
the direction to the City Manager noted above.
Given that nearly five (5) years have passed since the first referral on this topic
was brought to the City Council, and nearly two (2) years since the Council
directed Staff to bring back a revised resolution, I am requesting status updates
on the negotiations of both the Alameda Point and Public Works Project
Stabilization Agreements and soliciting further input from my colleagues on the
Council regarding the priority, deadlines, and parameters of said Agreements.
