FROM:
Michael Parenti, Information Technology Department
SUBJECT:
Ongoing Projects:
1. Computerized Maintenance Management System:
Project Goal:
To replace the legacy Public Works DSS software with a more modern software package that
is fully compatible with current server operating systems. The existing software is obsolete
and no longer supported by the vendor. The CMMS software tracks work orders, inventory
and assets, and predicts maintenance costs.
IT’s Role:
IT has assumed the internal project manager role for the Public Works Department’s
Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) software selection and
implementation process.
Project Status:
Public Works provided additional framework for the Facilities module in June. This
framework was reviewed and edited by IT and will be input into the system, pending a new
set of revisions, in July.
2. Electronic Document Management System (EDMS):
Project Goal:
To create an electronic repository for official City documents that will allow for fast, robust
searches, will minimize impact on staff’s workload, and can be integrated with the City’s
website for public access.
IT’s Role:
IT has assumed the internal project manager role for the EDMS project which includes
scanning, uploading, and indexing all historical city resolutions, ordinances, meeting minutes
and agendas as available. IT is managing the vendor contract and overseeing the physical
transportation of files.

Project Status:
Over 220,000 pages of documents dating back to the early 1900’s have been input into the
EDMS system to date. The vendor took an additional batch of documents to scan in May and
delivered them back to IT in early June. A new batch of documents was uploaded and
reviewed for quality in June. No further action is expected on this project through the month
of July.
3. Network Switch Replacement:
Project Goal:
Replace existing end of life switches with high-value, next generation switches capable of
handling the demands of the City’s network.
IT’s Role:
 Design the network
 Evaluate and procure the proper hardware
 Configure the equipment
 Install, test, and implement
Project Status:
Phase I of this project has been completed successfully. All switches in the Civic Center and
Old Town Hall were replaced with the new Dell Force10 models. In June, the remainder of
the switches for the satellite sites (EOC / Station 35, Senior Center, ECDC, Corp Yard, and
Rec Center) was purchased.
4. Police Department Bandwidth Increase:
Project Goal:
Eliminate the unreliable, lower bandwidth T1 lines that are currently connecting the Police
Department to the City’s network and to increase the available bandwidth capacity at City
site that are currently on the fiber network to meet current demands.
IT’s Role:
 Determine the appropriate bandwidth and method of connectivity
 Solicit vendor proposals
 Negotiate terms
 Oversee implementation and configuration
Project Status:
With the City’s current ISP unable to provide a fiber link to the Police Department to this
point, IT began soliciting proposals from alterative ISPs in March. Proposals that were
received were significantly over the expected rate for these services. IT will be evaluating
other options and will continue to stay in communication with the existing vendor in regards
to the delivery of promised services. Work on soliciting proposals continued in June and
June 2014
Page 3 of 5
firm proposals are expected to be received in July.
5. Recreation Software Replacement
Project Goal:
Replace existing software with a more user friendly, cost efficient option.
IT’s Role:
IT will work with the Community Services Department to develop a requirements document,
solicit appropriate vendors, organize software demonstrations, negotiate contracts and
manage the implementation of the software.
Project Status:
IT has had several meetings with the Community Services Department to detail the current
system and what changes and additional features are required. No update on this project –
other priorities used available resources on this project. Community Services has scheduled
a vendor showcase meeting for fall, putting this project on hold for the immediate future.
6. Website Redesign
Project Goal:
Refresh the look and feel of the City’s existing website, make content easier for site visitors
to find, prepare for future Social Media endeavors, and centralize the City’s online presence.
IT’s Role:
Manage the vendor contract, technical specifications, and centralization of the City’s online
presence. Coordinate with City Staff to outline the desired look, feel, and tone of the City’s
website. Review the vendor’s design and coordinate discussions with staff and the vendor to
revise as needed.
Project Status:
A project kick-off meeting occurred with the vendor outlining each party’s responsibilities
during the course of this project. As part of the City’s responsibility, the following work took
place in April / May:
o Internal meeting of small project team to discuss likes / dislikes of current
website’s design and function
o IT staff went around the City to take several hundred photographs for the vendor
to look through for the website redesign
o Vendor provided templates to assist with the redesign were completed and
submitted to the vendor for review.
Additional meetings with the vendor took place in June and the current website was
snapshotted in early July. Sample navigation configurations and design options will be
presented in July.

7. Council Chambers Audio / Video (A/V) Equipment Replacement
Project Goal:
Short Term: Replace failed Character Generator
Long Term: Review all A/V equipment in the Council Chambers; create a detailed diagram of
the equipment that includes connectivity, software details, and function. Create an adequate
replacement schedule for the equipment and proactively manage the A/V system.
IT’s Role:
IT assumed responsibility for the maintenance and replacement of the A/V equipment in the
Council Chambers. IT will work with the City’s Clerk’s Office and the video consultant to
make sure the proper, reliable technology is in place.
Project Status:
In March the Character Generator (CG) in the A/V rack failed. IT was able to temporarily
revive the CG using parts from obsolete equipment, but a long term replacement was needed.
In April / May the new CG was ordered, delivered, and installed in the Chambers A/V room.
As part of the process, IT gained an intimate understanding of the components of the A/V
room and how they interact. The next phase involves creating a detailed plan of the room
and developing an adequate replacement schedule for the equipment. No progress to report
on this project during the month of June – vendors have been reached out to, but no meetings
have been scheduled.
8. Police Department – City Network Integration
Project Goal:
Integrate the Police and City Administration Domains as appropriate to allow for shared
management, pooling of resources, IT staff cross-training and support, and leverage of
existing hardware and infrastructure without compromising the integrity of the data or
security on either network.
IT’s Role:
IT is responsible for the planning and implementation of all integration tasks.
Project Status:
Project pre-planning began in June for the eventual merging of the IT Divisions into the City
Manager’s Office. In July cross-training and planning for integration will take place.
9.
CAD / RMS Software Upgrade
Project Goal:
Upgrade the existing CAD / RMS CYRUN software in the Police vehicles, dispatch center,
and back-end servers to the newest format.
IT’s Role:
June 2014
Page 5 of 5
IT is responsible for vendor management, implementation scheduling and coordinating
testing between the vendor and the end-users.
Project Status:

issues prior to going live in the City’s environment.

Top five revenues through June were approximately 5.3% greater than the same time last
year.
The annual business license renewal cycle for 2014 wrapped up June 30, 2014 with
collections of $5.2 million at 12% over budget and 5.8% greater than prior year.
The two year operating budget for FY14-15 and FY15-16 has been completed and
approved by Council on June 3, 2014. The final budget document is available on the City
website.
Financial Performance
Review of Top Five Revenues - June reflects the first eleven months of collections in this fiscal
year, as there is typically a 30 day delay in remittances. Sales taxes are reflecting a 6.3% or
$390k increase over FY2013 consistent with economic improvements. Business License Tax
revenue collections of $5.2 million through June were $284k greater than prior year. Transient
occupancy tax (TOT) collections through June show an increase of 7.8% over last year’s total;
although this trend is expected to slow as local hotels reach capacity. Utility users’ tax for
FY2014 reflects $84k more revenue than FY2013 primarily due to a one-time collection of prior
year taxes of $150k. Card room tax revenues are relatively flat compared with the prior year at
$2.2 million or -1.3%.

CITY COUNCIL, PLANNING COMMISSION, AND COMMITTEES
CITY COUNCIL
June 3
Planning Commission Interviews. The City Council held interviews for the two Planning
Commission positions that are up for appointment, and then voted to reappoint
Commissioners Gail Donaldson and Lawrence “Buzz” Cardoza.
Charter. The Council held a public hearing on a proposed charter for the City. The charter
would be very brief, stipulating that Emeryville may collect enhanced real estate transfer taxes
but otherwise would operate as a general law city. Three people spoke in support. The charter
is expected to be on the November ballot.
Capital Improvement Program. The Council approved the 2014-2019 five-year Capital
Improvement Program and authorized budget appropriations for it.
Budget. The Council approved the two-year operating budget for fiscal years 2014-15 and
2015-16. This includes reorganizing the Planning and Building Department and Economic
Development and Housing Department into the new Community Development Department.
Parkside Park Property Exchange. The Council authorized the City Manager to execute an
agreement for the exchange of property and a Project Improvements Agreement for the
proposed Parkside Park and private parking lot, to be constructed as part of the adjacent
Parkside Apartment project (now called “Parc on Powell”).
Community Development Block Grants and Home Programs. The Council passed a resolution
authorizing the City Manager to enter into a three-year cooperation agreement with Alameda
County to participate in the Urban County Community Development Block Grant Program and
the Home Investment Partnership Program for Federal fiscal years 2015, 2016, and 2017.
June 17
Emeryville-Berkeley-Oakland Transit Study. The Council held a study session on the EBOTS
study, heard from speakers, and commented on options, requesting a vision to provide northsouth service to pull together the area west of San Pablo Avenue, consideration of who would
be served, involvement of regional partners, support for continued and enhanced Emery GoRound service, reduction of diesel emissions, and identification of rights-of-way that can
support a streetcar in the long term.
Position Classifications. The Council, sitting as the Management of Emeryville Services
Authority (MESA), approved the retitling of the Planning and Building Director to Community
Development Director, with the added responsibility of overseeing the Economic Development
and Housing Division, and created the new Economic Development and Housing Manager
position, which is a reclassification of the former ED&H Director position. The new Manager
will be recruited over the next several months; meanwhile, Community and Economic
Development Coordinator II Michelle DeGuzman has been appointed Acting ED&H Manager.
June 2014
Community Development Block Grant Program. The Council passed a resolution authorizing
the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Alameda County to carry out the Community
Development Block Grant Program for fiscal year 2014-15.
Townsend Public Affairs Contract. The Council passed a resolution authorizing the City
Manager to execute a professional services agreement with Townsend Public Affairs, Inc. to
provide federal and state advocacy services and assist the City in securing state and federal
funds for its operating and capital improvement programs for fiscal year 2014-15.
Emeryville Citizen’s Assistance Program (ECAP) Contract. The Council passed a resolution
authorizing the City Manager to execute a funding agreement with ECAP to support food and
clothing distribution to the homeless and near homeless for fiscal year 2014-15.
Building Services. The Council approved a contract for West Coast Code Consultants (WC3) to
continue to provide services to the Building Division in fiscal year 2014-15.
PLANNING COMMISSION
The Planning Commission considered the following items as its June 26 meeting:
Pain & Rehabilitation Consultants’ Management Group Parking Lot General Plan Amendment
and Rezoning. The Commission considered a General Plan Amendment to add a Maximum
Residential Density designation of 20/35 units per acre to the proposed Pain & Rehabilitation
Consultants’ (PRC) Management Group parking lot parcel at the northwest corner of Stanford
Avenue and Doyle Street; to redesignate the surrounding City-owned property from Mixed Use
with Residential to Park/Open Space and remove the “Other Park Opportunity” circle on the
Land Use Diagram; and to change the Maximum Building Height from 30/55 feet to 30 feet/no
bonus and the Maximum Floor Area Ratio from 1.2/1.6 to 0.5/No Bonus for both properties;
and a rezoning of the proposed PRC parking lot from PO Park/Open Space to MUR Mixed Use
with Residential. This proposal, which facilitates the land swap necessary for construction of
the proposed park and private parking lot in conjunction with the adjacent Parkside Apartment
project, was previously considered by the Commission on May 22, but, due to a notification
error, was reconsidered on June 26. The Commission voted 3-2 to approve the proposal, with
Commissioners Keller, Moss, and Cardoza voting “aye”, Commissioners Donaldson and
Kuemmerle voting “no”, Commissioner Gunkel recused, and Commissioner Tann absent. Due
to an anomaly of State planning law, the vote was sufficient to approve the rezoning, which
requires a majority of those present and voting, but not to approve the General Plan
Amendment, which requires a majority of the total Commission membership (i.e. 4 out of 7).
The Commission’s action is advisory to the City Council, which will take up the matter on July 1.
Housing Element. The Commission reviewed the draft 2015-2023 Housing Element of the
General Plan, recommended deleting details in policies about architectural diversity and
prevention of stormwater intrusion, and recommended amending standards to promote highquality open space and community interaction. The Commission recommended City Council
approval with these changes, for submittal to the State Housing and Community Development
Department for their compliance review.
June 2014
Development Impact Fees. The Commission considered proposed amendments to the Planning
Regulations to allow for the establishment of development impact fees by modifying Article 4
of Chapter 5, “Affordable Housing Set-Aside Program”, to be retitled “Affordable Housing
Program”, and adding a new Article 19 of Chapter 5, “Development Impact Fees”. This is
“enabling legislation” to address procedures for the implementation of the proposed
affordable housing, parks and recreation, and transportation impact fees. The Commission
voted 5-1 to recommend City Council adoption of the amendments; Commissioner Tann was
absent, and Commissioner Gunkel voted “no” because he felt that the proposed reduced
threshold from 30 units to 10 units was too low for condominiums to be required to provide
affordable units. The City Council will consider the proposed amendments on July 1 and 15, in
conjunction with the proposed impact fees.
BICYCLE/PEDESTRIAN ADVISORY SUBCOMMITTEE
At its June 2 meeting the BPAC received an update on planning for the upcoming Love Our
Neighborhood Day (formerly “Oaklavia”) event scheduled for July 12. This year’s Bike to Work
Day event, which took place in May, was also reviewed and discussed. Suggestions for next
year included having more supplies for the greenway energizer station and having supplies
dropped off at locations near energizer stations a day ahead of time to help expedite settingup on Bike to Work Day. Keeping the event car-free (no cars were used for set-up or in
obtaining supplies) was stated as a priority. The BPAC also discussed potential traffic-calming
designs for Horton Street and voted to recommend that any traffic-calming designs consider
Level 5 implementation measures as outlined in the Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan. The BPAC also
reviewed Emeryville’s first bicycle corral application to be located in front of the new
CommonWealth Café at 3986 Adeline Street. The BPAC unanimously recommended approval
of the bike corral to the Transportation Committee.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
At the committee’s June 4 meeting, the directors of Planning and Building, and Public Works,
reviewed recent efforts to better coordinate the permitting process, including better integration of
the processing of building permits by the Building Division and stormwater permits by Public Works.
The Planning and Building Director also presented the final draft of the informational brochure for
small businesses. Staff summarized the results of the worksheet that had been distributed to
committee members to prioritize implementation strategies for the Economic Development
Strategy. Committee members suggested inviting representatives of the West Oakland Commerce
Association (WOCA) and SkyDeck Berkeley to the next meeting, and that the July meeting be
cancelled if representatives from these two organizations were not available. [Because
representatives were not available, the committee’s July meeting was subsequently canceled.]
HOUSING COMMITTEE
At its June 4 meeting, committee approved the draft 2015-2022 Housing Element draft for
submittal to the State Housing and Community Development Department for compliance
review. The committee also review proposed changes to the Affordable Housing Set Aside
Ordinance to implement the affordable housing impact fee, and heard an update on the 3706 San
Pablo Avenue affordable housing project.
June 2014
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE
At its June 18 meeting, the committee discussed the Christie Avenue Park redesign and
expansion, which is proposed as the next phase of the Marketplace Redevelopment Project.
The committee also heard status reports on the Joseph Emery Skate Spot and the Emeryville
Greenway, and discussed a draft matrix for the Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan.
AC TRANSIT LIAISON COMMITTEE
This committee, which has not met for approximately five years, convened on June 26 with
representatives of the AC Transit Board of Directors and staff, the Emery Go-Round, City
Council members and staff, and citizens. The committee discussed proposed AC Transit route
changes and potential service enhancements affecting Emeryville, the Emeryville-BerkeleyOakland Transit Study (EBOTS), coordination between AC Transit and Emery Go-Round, and
FTA funding for the Transit Center, which is passed through AC Transit.
PUBLIC ART COMMITTEE
The committee’s June 12 meeting was canceled; its next regular monthly meeting will be on
July 10.
COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE
The committee did not meet in June; its next regular quarterly meeting will be on July 23.
PARK AVENUE DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The committee did not meet in June; its next regular quarterly meeting will be on August 13.
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATING COMMITTEE
The DCC met on June 11 with representatives from the Planning and Building, Economic
Development and Housing, Public Works, Community Services, and Fire departments and the
City Attorney’s Office discussing the following projects:
East BayBridge Facade Upgrade. Committee members agreed that the design was a vast
improvement over the previous submittal. No major concerns were identified. Structural soil
requirements for tree plantings were discussed.
Parkside Apartments Signs. DCC members reviewed proposed project identity signage and a
proposed master sign program. Committee members agreed that the new proposal for identity
wall signage was an improvement over the prior submittal, which had large project identity
letters on the glass element at the corner of Powell and Hollis that was out of character with
the architectural design of the project. The place-holder name, “The Park on Powell”, was also
seen as an improvement over the previous branding of “1333 Powell”, which could have led to
confusion as the project includes three separate buildings with four different addresses. [The
project has since been re-branded as “Parc on Powell”.] Committee members felt that the new
proposal was acceptable.
June 2014
6701 Shellmound Residential Project (“Nady Site”). It was noted that the plans needed to
show additional information regarding compliance with private open space and courtyard
requirements. The Public Works Director stated that the applicant should provide a space
within the building for PG&E transformers, as pad-mounted transformers in the public right-ofway will not be permitted. The Building Division plan check engineer requested that the
applicant set up an appointment to discuss exiting and fire wall issues prior to project approval
by the Planning Commission. He also stated that there may be ADA requirements that would
apply to the community garden area. It was noted that the applicant needed to revise the
stormwater plan to ensure that there were no trees in the stormwater planters.
Christie Avenue Park Redesign and Expansion. It was suggested that the applicant should
submit optional plans for the design of the park: one that completely redesigns the entire park;
a second that retains the existing park as it is and combines that with the design for the new
portion; and a third that is a mix of the first two. It was stated that the park should incorporate
“play” area as one of the key features in keeping with the City’s policy goal of creating family
friendly housing. It was felt that the design should incorporate some kind of playground such as
half basketball court as this would help in keeping the park active. It was noted that trees
cannot be planted on the existing sewer easement running across the park. The plan check
engineer noted that the applicant should be aware of that there are now ADA requirements for
recreation that may apply to this project. It was suggested that the applicant look into saving as
many existing trees as possible in their design.
Peladeau Park/Greenway Design. DCC members reviewed the current park design and agreed
with the concept of removing one of the two proposed windmills and the proposed drinking
fountain as cost-cutting measures. The proposed “green screens” were also discussed and the
project schedule was reviewed.

ADVANCED PLANNING PROJECTS
Emeryville-Berkeley-Oakland Transit Study (EBOTS). Public review of options continued in
June with the Emeryville City Council, AC Transit Board and the Berkeley Transportation
Commission. On June 11, the AC Transit Board commented that new service should address
West Oakland’s needs. On June 17, the Emeryville City Council held a study session, which is
described above. On June 19, the Berkeley Transportation Commission commented that
connections are needed from West Berkeley to downtown Berkeley, to Ashby BART, and to
Emeryville for transbay access. The Commissioners said only one Circulator route is needed in
Emeryville if pedestrian access across the tracks is improved, and prioritizing routes could
reduce cost. They liked the routes combining east-west and north-south travel. They requested
service up to Gilman on 6th, and said the study area is not dense enough for streetcars. In
addition to presenting at these meetings and the City Council meeting described above, staff
updated the webpage (http://www.emeryville.org/ebots), summarized questionnaire
responses, added ridership projection methods to the presentation, corresponded with
June 2014
citizens, set July meetings with the Technical Advisory Committee and Oakland’s Community
and Economic Development Committee, and made a list of questions and ideas for the
consultants based on comments on the options.
Housing Element. Staff and consultant presented the draft Housing Element to the Housing
Committee and the Planning Commission as described above, and submitted a staff report for the
July 15 City Council meeting. Further information is at http://www.emeryville.org/housingelement.
Design Guidelines - Family Friendly Housing. The consulting architect who has been hired to
illustrate the guidelines revised drawings in response to comments received in a meeting with
staff in May.
Climate Change Adaptation for Transportation Assets – Bay Bridge Focus Area Working
Group. Staff researched methods for marsh preservation and sketched ideas for this group of
stakeholders in the area around the Bay Bridge touchdown that has been convened by the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and Bay Conservation and Development
Commission (BCDC) Adapting to Rising Tides staff.
Goods Movement Technical Team. Staff attended this meeting on June 5 at the Alameda
County Transportation Commission office in Oakland, and heard about how to choose
performance measures for the Countywide Goods Movement Plan.
Property-based Business Improvement District Information. Staff reviewed square footage in
Emeryville of buildings on city borders, and land use codes and square footage of buildings
where change is occurring or information differs from Assessor’s data. This information will be
used for the levy that supports the Emery Go-Round.
Impact Fees. On June 5, staff met to discuss amendments to the Planning Regulations that are
needed to implement the proposed impact fees, as well as the schedule for consideration of the
code amendments by the Planning Commission in June and of the code amendments and proposed
fees by the City Council in July. Further information is at http://emeryville.org/impactfees.
North Hollis Parking Strategies. On June 12, staff met to review the history and implementation
status of the North Hollis area parking study and to discuss the strategy going forward.
BUILDING DIVISION

The attached tables summarize the twelfth and final month of fiscal year 2013-2014 for
building permit and inspection activity. Also included are the fiscal year 2012-2013 building
permit and inspection activity tables for comparison. Following is a summary of the Building
Division’s permit, inspection, and plan check activity and public contacts in June:
Permits Issued:
Total Valuation:
Fees Collected:
June 2014
54
About $1.46 million
About $72,300

Once again, the number of inspections conducted in June surpassed all previous records,
reflecting major projects under construction, tenant improvements, construction defect repair
projects, and miscellaneous projects all over the city.
The totals for fiscal years 2013-2014 and 2012-13 are as follows:
Permits:
Valuation:
Fees:
Inspections
FY 2013-2014

735
$135,535,000
$5,021,693
5,907
While the number and value of permits issued was down this year, the number of inspections
conducted was more than double that of the previous year, reflecting construction activity
resulting from permits issued last year. Building permits for two large residential projects at
3800 San Pablo Avenue and 3900 Adeline Street, with a total valuation of about $36 million,
are almost ready to issue. If they had been issued before June 30, the total valuation of permits
in fiscal year 2013-2014 would have been about $80 million. As it is, that valuation will be
included in the fiscal year 2014-2015 totals.

ADMINISTRATION/OTHER
California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) Revised Effective Date for 2013 Energy
Standards. Earlier this year, the CBSC unanimously approved the revised effective date of the
2013 California Energy Code and the energy related portions of the 2013 CALGreen code to
July 1, 2014. There are numerous provisions which affect the Nonresidential Building Energy
Efficiency Standards that address building envelopes; lighting; mechanical; electrical power
distribution systems; equipment; solar-ready; commissioning and compliance options.
In addition, the Nonresidential Lighting Control Acceptance Tests under the 2013 Energy Code
are now required to be performed by Certified Lighting Controls Acceptance Test Technicians.
In the June 2014 business meeting, the Commission formally determined that the Industry
Certification Threshold has been met for Lighting Control Acceptance Test Technicians.
June 2014
Accordingly, the requirement to use Certified Lighting Control Acceptance Test Technicians is
mandatory as of the July 1, 2014 effective date of the 2013 Energy Code. The lighting control
acceptance tests that now require the use of certified technicians are the tests set forth in the
following Acceptance Test Forms:




NRCA-LTI-02-A – Lighting Controls
NRCA-LTI-03-A – Automatic Daylighting
NRCA-LTI-04-A – Demand Responsive Controls
NRCA-LTO-02-A – Outdoor Motion Sensor and Lighting Shut-off Controls
All new construction and additions, and any retrofits impacting more than 10 percent of the
lights, must install lighting controls and those controls must be acceptance-tested by a State
Certified Lighting Controls Acceptance Test Technician. In accordance with this provision the
Building Division may not provide a certificate of occupancy for nonresidential construction
projects subject to the 2013 Energy Code unless the Division confirms that lighting control
acceptance tests have been performed and approved by a State Certified Acceptance Test
Technician. Confirmation is provided by verifying that a valid Certified Lighting Control
Acceptance Test Technician certification identification number issued by an approved
Acceptance Test Technician Certification Provider has been included on the Acceptance Form.
The California Advanced Lighting Controls Training Program is the only Acceptance Test
Technician Certification Provider currently approved by the Commission to certify lighting
control acceptance test technicians.
Redevelopment Agency Bond Refinancing Presentation and Tour. On June 24 and 25, the
Planning and Building Director participated in two-hour sessions on Emeryville’s financial
health related to the refinancing of outstanding Redevelopment Agency tax allocation bonds.
The first presentation was given to the rating agency, Standard and Poor’s, while the second
was given to potential bond insurers, Assured Guaranty and Build America Mutual. Both
presentations were followed by a brief driving tour of the city featuring major development
projects currently in the “pipeline”, led by the Planning and Building Director.
Finance Director Interviews. On June 11, the Planning and Building Director participated on an
interview panel to help select a new Finance Director.
Incident Command System (ICS) Training. As part of the City’s ongoing efforts to be better
prepared for responding to a disaster, Planning and Building staff took part in the mandatory
ICS700 training on June 26, led by Nick Zubel, the Alameda County Fire Department’s Emergency
Preparedness Coordinator. The session focused on the National Incident Management System
(NIMS), and was followed by an on-line test and certificate for all participants.
Interview for Academic Paper on Housing. On June 9, the Planning and Building Director was
interviewed by Amnon Lehavi, an Israeli visiting professor of real estate at U.C. Berkeley, who is
writing an academic paper on land use policy in the Bay Area, with a particular focus on
housing. His research deals with the role of local governments in the Regional Housing Needs
Allocation (RHNA), and explores whether this model could be adopted by other states/
countries facing similar challenges of rapid growth.
June 2014
th
City News and Activity Guide Articles. Staff drafted articles on the new Temescal Creek (48
Street) Community Garden, new fun places to go (glass studio, billiards by a future park, bar
with bike corral), development projects, and Emeryville-Berkeley-Oakland Transit Study.
Cost Recovery. Most major planning applications are funded through a “cost recovery” system,
whereby applicants make an initial deposit and staff bills time and expenses against the
project. This requires meticulous record-keeping to ensure that balances remain positive in
each cost recovery account, and that accounts are properly closed out upon project
completion. Planning staff met with Finance staff on June 11 to resolve long-standing issues
related to the Chiron and Pixar accounts; it was determined that these accounts can now be
closed.
Grants Coordination. At its June 19 meeting, this interdepartmental committee discussed
prospects including a Coastal Conservancy Climate Ready Grant for reef balls to reduce wave
action at Point Emery, Transportation for Clean Air, and Regional Active Transportation; and
grants with critical timelines including Safe Routes to School, State Transportation
Improvement Program, Environmental Protection Agency, and Federal Transportation
Administration grant for the Transit Center plaza.
Permit Tracking System and GIS. CRW TRAKiT, the Planning and Building Department’s permit
tracking software, has now been live for over three years, since September 2, 2010, and the
CodeTRAK and GIS components “went live” on March 19, 2013. Staff has been using the
software to track permits and code violations as they travel through the application and
abatement processes. In June, an intern began entering building permit data for major
planning projects that received permits before TRAKIT was installed.

Two new single family homes on site of
existing house. Demolition of existing
house required City Council approval
of project following Planning
Commission recommendation.
On March 22, 2007, Commission deadlocked 3-3 on
project, with one recusal, so application went to Council
without a Commission recommendation. On April 17,
2007, Council approved project 4-0 with one recusal.
Council approved one-year extension request on January
20, 2009. Council considered second extension request on
April 20, 2010 and directed that ordinance be modified to
allow demolition of existing house prior to issuance of
building permit for replacement structure. Revised
ordinance was passed on September 21, 2010 and took
effect October 21, 2010. Planning Commission considered
extension request, and new finding allowing demolition of
existing house, on December 9, 2010, and voted to
recommend denial to City Council. City Council held
public hearing on January 18, 2011 and continued it to
February 1, 2011, at which time they voted to approve
extension to April 17, 2011, but not to allow demolition of
existing house until building permit for replacement
structure is ready to issue. Resolution to this effect was
passed February 1, 2011. Building permit applications
submitted on January 18, 2011; extended to July 18, 2012
by Chief Building Official on November 21, 2011. Permit
applications were approved and ready to issue but expired
on July 18, 2012. Tree removal permit for street tree
approved by Planning Commission on September 27, 2012.
On March 13, 2014, City received letter from Alameda
County District Attorney saying that applicant was the
victim of a crime by which the property was fraudulently
“sold” a number of times beginning on March 8, 2011 when
a deed with a forged signature was recorded with the
Alameda County Recorder. DA requested City to “place
the property rights back into position held as of March 8,
2011.” Thus, planning and building permits are still
considered valid, building permit is being processed and is
expected to be issued soon.
