SUBJECT:
February 2016 Progress Report
Financial Performance
Review of Top Six Revenues – February reflects the first seven month’s collections of
fiscal year 2015-16 as there is typically a 30-day delay in remittances. Sales taxes
include advances through December less the net quarterly East Bay Bridge sales taxes
of $367k per the revenue sharing agreement with the City of Oakland. When compared
to prior year, the $760k or 19.5% decrease is a result of the end of the state’s Triple Flip
Statute in 2016. Final triple flip true-up payments of approximately $1.4M are expected
during the fiscal year and the local 1% sales tax will be restored to offset this variance
by year-end. Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) collections of $3.9M through February
show TOT has increased $446k or 12.8% over last year’s total. The majority of the
Business License tax revenue is collected with the annual renewals due March 1, 2016;
however payments continue to be processed throughout March. Business License
collections through February of $3.3M are 65% of budget and 10.7% greater than prior
year. Utility Users Tax remains flat with prior year at $1.7M. Card Room Tax revenue of
$1.5M for the first seven months is 6.2% greater than the same period prior year. Real
Property Transfer Tax (RPTT) revenues of $2.4M through January 2016 exceed prior
year by $2M. This is due to the new RPTT ordinance that was effective January 1,
2015 and imposed a tax of $12 per $1,000 of property valuation.

FROM:
Michael Parenti, Information Technology Department
SUBJECT:
February 2016 Progress Report
Short Range Projects / Miscellaneous Items:
1. Open Data. Preliminary research and discussions begun with vendors on Open
Data initiatives. The initial data set was to involve data from the Finance
Department. This will be revisited at a later time.
2. ECCL. IT staff continued to attend meetings on the ECCL project, providing
input as to the City’s data / network needs in the month of January. Hardware
specifications and port counts are taking shape and equipment orders are being
prepared.

will start work in March.
Long-term 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software is obsolete and no longer supported by the vendor.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:
Lucity implementers were on-site for a full week in February and IT Staff spent an

IT’s Roles:
Assist the Police Department in identifying suitable vendors, arranging for
demonstrations, evaluating the presented technology and assisting on
implementation.
Project Status:
Preliminary needs assessment meetings were held and one vendor demonstration
took place in February.
3. Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) Scanning and Migration:
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.
Updated Goal:
The existing EDMS vendor has discontinued support of the current SIRE software
package. The City has selected a new EDMS vendor and an implementation and
migration of existing data will kick off in August.
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:
Integration work between the Laserfiche and Granicus systems began in April. A
workflow was diagramed to detail the life-cycle of official city documents and how
they move throughout the various applications in the City. Next, the workflow will be
programmed into the Laserfiche system and tested. The vendor continued workflow
programming in May and returned drafts to the City in June. This project has been
placed on hold.

PLANNING COMMISSION
The Planning Commission considered the following items as its February 25 meeting:
Swearing in of New Commissioner and Recognition of Outgoing Commissioner. The City Clerk
swore in new Commissioner Philip Banta. The Commission then presented a resolution of
appreciation to outgoing Commissioner Sean Moss.
Sherwin Williams Mixed Use Development. The Commission held a public hearing to accept
comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the Sherwin Williams project.
Seventeen residents spoke on this item. The comments included a need to further analyze
construction related noise and dust impacts; additional analysis that was felt to be needed due
to the adoption of new regulations concerning the development bonus system and family
friendly design guidelines; and inadequate discussion on the aesthetics of the project. Written
comments on the DEIR will be accepted through the end of the 60-day public comment period
on Tuesday, March 8, after which a Final EIR will be prepared that will include responses to all
comments received on the DEIR, and any necessary modifications to the DEIR.
Marketplace Redevelopment Project Parcel B (Garage Building). The Commission had been
scheduled to consider a Final Development Plan (FDP) for “Parcel B” of the Marketplace
Redevelopment Project Planned Unit Development. Two options were proposed: one option
consisted of a five story parking structure accommodating 405 parking spaces and
approximately 41,500 square feet of retail space that would be occupied by a junior anchor
tenant; and the second option was a four story building accommodating 405 parking spaces and
22,800 square feet of ground floor retail space with multiple small tenants. At the applicant’s
request, the item was postponed to a future meeting and is now tentatively scheduled for the
Commission’s May 26 meeting.
1056 45th Street New Unit. The Commission unanimously approved a Conditional Use Permit
and Design Review for an additional unit on a property with two existing units, with some
recommendations to the applicant for improving the floor plans.
Sutter Health Signs. The Commission unanimously approved a Major Sign Permit for two new
high-rise identification signs at 2000 Powell Street. These signs were substantially different
from the two high-rise signs that Sutter Health had previously proposed, and the Commission
denied, on October 22, 2015. These signs are smaller and are placed on the north and south
elevations, as opposed to the previous signs which were larger and placed on the east and
south elevations. Residents of Pacific Park Plaza, who had opposed the previous proposal,
expressed support and praised Sutter Health’s spirit of cooperation.
Comparison of Affordable Housing Requirements of Recently Approved Multi-Unit Residential
Projects. The Commission heard an informational report on five residential projects that have
received Certificates of Occupancy since the General Plan was adopted in 2009, and five
additional projects that have been approved since then. The report compared the number and
income level of affordable units that were approved for those projects versus what would be
required under the recently adopted regulations. Overall, the new regulations would require
February 2016
Progress Report • Community Development Department | 3
more affordable units covering a more even distribution among income levels. The report also
looked at the anticipated affordable units to be provided in three projects currently being
processed under the new regulations. This report was in response to a request from the
Commission at the December 10, 2015 meeting.
BOARD OF APPEALS
1264 Ocean Avenue Code Enforcement. On December 10, 2015, the Planning Commission,
sitting as the Board of Appeals under the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous
Buildings, appointed Board Members Bauters, Cardoza, and Gunkel as hearing examiners to
conduct a hearing and make a recommendation on the appeal by property owner André
Carpiaux of the Chief Building Official’s Notice and Order to abate and demolish the structure at
1264 Ocean Avenue. The hearing was conducted on Wednesday, February 17. Following
lengthy testimony and deliberations, the matter was continued to Wednesday, March 2, when
a mid-day site inspection is scheduled, to be followed by a continuation of the hearing in the
evening. (For further information, please see page 12.)
BICYCLE/PEDESTRIAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The BPAC held a special meeting on February 1 to discuss traffic calming proposals for the
Horton Street bicycle boulevard. The Committee and members of the public reviewed various
traffic calming proposals in small groups. Participants voted on the proposed methods,
expressing a preference for protected bike lanes and a lack of support for chicanes. The next
regular BPAC meeting will be held on March 7.
HOUSING COMMITTEE
At a special meeting on February 3, the Housing Committee received an update on the EAH
Affordable Housing Project at 3706 San Pablo Avenue, and recommended that the City Council
accept and approve the Housing Element and Housing Successor Annual Progress Report.
PUBLIC ART COMMITTEE
The Public Art Committee (PAC) met on February 11 and made recommendations for the Public
Art Master Plan survey, website, and workshop, and tabled action on pigeon abatement
alternatives for the “Electric Rainbow” public art installation at the Shellmound Powell Street
Bridge. The PAC also discussed the new Art in Public Places website and interactive online map.
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATING COMMITTEE
The DCC met on February 10 with representatives from the Planning, Building, and Economic
Development and Housing divisions of the Community Development Department; the Public
Works, Police and Fire departments; the City Attorney’s Office; and the City Manager’s Office
discussing the following projects:
Pelco Mixed Use Project. The DCC reviewed a proposed mixed use residential project that
would reuse the existing Pelco building at 1550 Park Avenue. Committee members expressed
concern about parking access, and suggested moving the proposed driveway from Park Avenue
to Halleck Street. More details are needed to provide feedback regarding unit design, waste
February 2016
Progress Report • Community Development Department | 4
management, storm water, and noise considerations from the adjacent railroad. It was noted
that the project will need to be totally redesigned to comply with the new regulations for unit
mix and family-friendly design.
New Unit, 1056 45th Street. The DCC reviewed a proposed new unit on a property with two
existing units. Committee members advised that the conditions of approval for the project
should reflect the proposed new driveway and existing sidewalk conditions.
Anton Evolve, 6701 Shellmound Street (“Nady Site”). DCC members reviewed this 186-unit
residential project that is scheduled for a Planning Commission public hearing in March. There
was discussion on the location of the crosswalk on Shellmound Street and the possibility of
using the western perimeter path for a public pedestrian and bicycle path. A need to craft
Conditions of Approval for both the issues was mentioned. The Police Department stated that
the standard police conditions regarding Knox boxes and exterior lighting would apply to this
project.
Marketplace Parcel B Retail/Garage Building. This was to be the DCC’s final review of the
project prior to its consideration by the Planning Commission on February 25. Issues discussed
included the possibility of a traffic signal on Shellmound Street, the results of the traffic study,
and clearance for garbage trucks. However, the applicant subsequently requested that the
project be postponed, and it is now tentatively scheduled for the May 26 Planning Commission
meeting.

1270 64th Street; Code Enforcement Update. The Chief Building Official obtained an abatement
warrant from the Alameda County Superior Court on January 27 for property negligence and
public nuisance due to unauthorized occupancy and lack of maintenance. The abatement
warrant was served on February 3 and included inspection of all buildings and authorization to
secure the buildings upon completion of the inspection. The inspection results determined that
February 2016
Progress Report • Community Development Department | 11
both dwelling units on the site were unoccupied and uninhabitable; both were secured and
reposted with “red tags” as unsafe to enter. A subsequent Notice and Order was sent to the
property owner on February 8 indicating that the property is identified as a public nuisance and
granting 30 days for compliance.
1264 Ocean Avenue; Code Enforcement Update. On July 29, 2015, Building Division staff
inspected the property and determined it to be uninhabitable due to imminent danger as a
result of dilapidation, deterioration of the structure and foundation, illegal construction, faulty
electrical, no potable water system, non-permitted well water, etc. On September 3, 2015, the
Building Division secured and posted the property with a 24-hour inspection warrant notice.
The inspection warrant, issued by the Alameda County Superior Court, permitted City
inspection staff and engineer consultants access to the property to analyze the excavation
under the existing house for structural impacts to the dwelling, the adjacent dwelling located at
1262 Ocean Avenue, and the public sidewalk and adjacent street tree. This inspection,
conducted on September 8, 2015, supported the initial findings from July 29, 2015. As a result,
occupants were directed to vacate the premises and the structure was “red tagged” as
uninhabitable. Subsequently all utilities were disconnected by PG&E.
On October 19, 2015, the property owner, André Carpiaux, was served with a Notice and Order
of Intention to Demolish the structure, which addressed the findings of the inspections and
options for compliance, including the property owner’s right to appeal the findings within 30
days. The property owner filed an appeal on November 18, 2015. In a special meeting held
immediately prior to the regular Planning Commission meeting on December 10, 2015, the
Commission, sitting as the Board of Appeals under the Uniform Code for the Abatement of
Dangerous Buildings, appointed Commissioners Bauters, Cardoza, and Gunkel as the hearing
examiners. The hearing was held on February 17, 2016, and included City staff and outside
counsel, the property owner representing himself, and witnesses for both sides. Extended
testimony from witnesses was provided from both parties, supported by submitted evidence,
and recorded. The hearing concluded in a call for recess and a continuance to March 2, which
will include a site inspection during the day, to be followed by a continuation of the hearing in
the evening. Updates will be forthcoming.
Customer Feedback Questionnaire
For the month of February one questionnaire was received, indicating positive and excellent in
all categories, including customer service levels, staff knowledge, improvements needed, and
how the City of Emeryville’s counter services compare with other jurisdictions.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING DIVISION
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Minimum Wage. No new complaints were filed during the month of February; however the
City initiated a new inquiry and investigation into a possible violation under the ordinance.
There are currently three open investigations, of which one is anticipated to be resolved within
the next month. Staff participated in and attended the following activities:
February 2016
Progress Report • Community Development Department | 12

Conference call hosted by the Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP), featuring the Labor
Bureau Chief of the New York Attorney General’s Office, to learn strategies for enforcement
and ensuring employer compliance with paid sick leave and other similar laws, without
taking direct legal action.

Berkeley Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs meeting with the City of Berkeley SubCommittee on a potential sick leave law and possible future changes to Berkeley’s law.
To date, none of the closed investigations have resulted in monetary restitution of back wages
owed, and all have been resolved informally. During the month of February, staff answered 15
inquiries and questions regarding the Ordinance via telephone and email. Further information is
available at: http://www.emeryville.org/1024/Minimum-Wage-Ordinance.
Broadband. In February, a contract was executed with Tellus Venture Associates for assessing
broadband service and infrastructure in the city and developing an implementable plan for
improving broadband service. Work is expected to be initiated in March.
Small Business Assistance. The Economic Development Advisory Committee reviewed a
summary of small business strategies at its January meeting in advance of a joint Planning
Commission and City Council session. Committee members suggested that staff include the
previous program’s utilization, successes, and failures for a better understanding of program
impacts.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Residential Tenant Protections and Services. On January 25, staff met with the City Manager to
discuss the proposed just cause eviction and harassment ordinance, which the City Council
directed to be prepared on May 5, 2015 and which was reviewed by the Housing Committee on
October 7, 2015. A City Council study session is planned for April 19.
Parc on Powell Project. Almost 900 applications were received for the eight very low income
and 13 moderate income units at Parc on Powell (1333 Powell Street, formerly called Parkside
and Papermill). The lottery took place on November 12, 2014. Staff continues to review the
applications. There is one remaining very low income studio and one moderate live/work loft.
3900 Adeline Project. Staff has worked with the developer to develop a marketing plan for the
12 affordable units. The final plan was accepted in February. Applications for below market rate
(BMR) units will begin in March.
4300 San Pablo Avenue. Staff is working on developing a Request for Proposals for a low
income senior housing project on the site of the temporary Recreation Center.
3706 San Pablo Avenue. As noted above, the City Council approved a $3.5 million loan
commitment on February 16. The project was also awarded an additional $1.3 million from
Alameda County.
February 2016
Progress Report • Community Development Department | 13
Rehabilitation Projects. Staff is working with two ongoing applicants. Staff is working with
Rebuilding Together to develop a program to outreach to tenants in need of independent living
aids such as grab bars. This is a pilot project starting with the Watergate condominiums.
Homeless. Staff continues to work with North County jurisdictions and the County on
coordinated efforts regarding people experiencing homelessness. The contract with Berkeley
Food and Housing continues to provide services for homeless outreach and case management,
including outreaching to homeless during inclement weather. Staff is coordinating with Fire,
Police and Community Services to identify and locate people experiencing homelessness in our
community and to engage them in an effort to provide harm reduction services and start the
process of finding permanent housing solutions. The North County winter shelter has opened
and has been full. Staff is working with Oakland to double the capacity at the shelter.
BMR Inspections. Staff conducted two Below Market Rate unit (BMR) inspections.
Housing Notification. Staff added 165 people to the Housing Notification List.
Housing Developers. Staff spoke to one developer interested in developing market rate housing
in Emeryville.
Public Information. Staff fielded 15 calls and emails regarding housing search, 10 calls and
emails regarding landlord/tenant issues, and three walk-ins with housing related issues.

prevention strategy.
Subordinations: Two subordination applications are pending.

signal crossing San Pablo Avenue on 40th Street. The Safe Routes to Transit improvement is
expected to be implemented in March. Also, staff forwarded to Kimley Horn a request from the
Bicycle Pedestrian Professional Working Group of the Alameda County Transportation
Commission for a technical description of the signal timing of the overhead bicycle signal for
the Christie Avenue Bay Trail Extension.
PUBLIC ART PROGRAM
Public Art Website. In preparation for the launch of the Public Art Master Plan staff began a
revamping of the presentation of existing Public Art on the City’s website including
reorganization, additional mapping and project descriptions. New websites are available at:

Art in Pubilc Places Website:

Public Art Master Plan. Designing Local kicked off the Public Art Master Plan with the drafting
of a community survey distributed online in February, inception of a Plan website and
coordination for a site visit and Community workshop March 2-5. This will include a site tour on
March 2, key informant interviews on March 3 and 4 (including individual interviews, a
waterfront focus group and an economic development focus group), and a community
workshop on March 5 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Ralph Hawley Middle School site. Over 200
citizens and community leaders were contacted to participate in the survey, register for the
workshop or attend the focus groups; and 1,800 postcards were distributed though the Emery
Go-Round, community facilities and local eateries. An Instagram campaign (#artinemeryville)
was launched for citizens to post images appreciated in Emeryville or desired to be put in
Emeryville; contributions will be requested through June. For more information see:

Sign of the Times. In October staff contracted with Seyed Alavi and Peralta Service Corporation
for installation of 20 new images and relocation of four images for a refreshment of the 25
existing figures on utility box in the piece known as “Sign of the Times” commissioned from Mr.
Alavi in 2005. At its January meeting the PAC recommended final images for production and
installation, weather permitting. The artist has requested the installation be conducted in May
to accommodate his schedule and avoid inclement weather.
February 2016
Progress Report • Community Development Department | 15
Emeryville Center of Community Life (ECCL) Public Art. Five finalists submitted draft Conceptual
Design proposals for three locations at the ECCL site, including two for the 53rd Street Gateway,
two for the Welcome Center, and one for the Library Commons. Final Design Concept Plans are
due by March 16. Upon receipt, the proposals will be displayed at City Hall until the selection
panel convenes for final interviews on April 8. Two artists are expected to be nominated for
installation, with one at the 53rd Street Gateway and one either at the Library Gardens
Courtyard or in the Welcome Center.
Shellmound Powell Street Bridge Public Art/Shellmound District Public Art Plan. R&R Studios,
the selected artist for the Shellmound Powell Street Bridge Public Art and Shellmound District
Public Art Plan, received approval of a building permit for the installation of “Electric Rainbow”
on January 19 and is awaiting Public Works issuance of an encroachment permit. Review
included consideration of innovative technology for abating the site of pigeons or re-design of
the project for a tighter grid. The Public Art Committee (PAC) requested more information in
January and will revisit the project alternatives and budget implications in March or April. A
draft District Art Plan for themes and locations of public art throughout the Shellmound District
was submitted for review in December. This was reviewed by the Development Coordinating
Committee on January 13 and by the PAC on January 14. R&R is expected to respond to
comments in March and the Plan is expected to return to the PAC for consideration in April.
BROWNFIELDS
3706 San Pablo Avenue. Post-remediation testing was completed in February and final
reporting and DTSC approval of a deed restriction associated with ongoing groundwater
restrictions and vapor monitoring are ongoing. Staff completed the EPA grant closeout on
January 30.
Assessment Grant. Staff expects notification from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as
to whether the $200,000 applied for in December will be awarded to Emeryville in June 2016. If
so, funding to assess City properties and other prospective affordable housing sites could be
initiated in October 2016.
ADMINISTRATION/OTHER
Economic Development and Housing Manager Recruitment. The application period for a
permanent Economic Development and Housing Manager opened on November 10 and closed
on December 11. An oral board consisting of Economic Development staff from Berkeley,
Concord, and San Francisco interviewed eight finalists on February 18, and the top four
candidates were invited for interviews by an internal panel on March 7. A decision on the
appointment of the new Manager is expected in March.
Orientation of New Planning Commissioner. On February 22, the Community Development
Director and Assistant City Attorney oriented the new Planning Commissioner, Philip Banta,
providing information on the role and responsibilities of the Planning Commissioner, conflict of
interest law, and the Brown Act.
February 2016
Progress Report • Community Development Department | 16
ABAG/MTC Merger. On February 5, the Community Development Director attended a special
meeting with Dan Marks of Management Partners sponsored by the Bay Area Planning
Directors Association. Management Partners has been contracted to perform a study and make
recommendations on the proposed merger of the Association of Bay Area Governments and
the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. This meeting was an opportunity for planning
directors from throughout the Bay Area to speak frankly without ABAG or MTC staff present.
The general consensus was that a merger is probably a good idea, but that MTC’s proposed
“power grab” of ABAG planning staff is not a good idea.
Wireless Facility Training. On February 4, staff attended a training session regarding wireless
facility “shot clock” regulations. The training reviewed the requirements and time restrictions
set under both State and Federal regulations (State Assembly Bill 57 and Section 6409(a) of the
Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012).
Complete Streets. Staff attended a joint meeting of the American Planning Association and
Institute of Transportation Engineers on February 18 covering various innovations in complete
street concepts and designs. The meeting included presentations from Bryan Jones of Alta
Planning + Design, Dave Campbell of Bike East Bay, and Kevin Mulder of the Metropolitan
Transportation Commission.
Wareham Noise Violation. Staff facilitated noise measurements at 5855 Horton Street
(Terraces Condominiums) on February 19. Rooftop equipment at EmeryStation 1, located
across the street at 5858 Horton Street, was found to be out of compliance with the maximum
permitted night time noise. A Notice of Violation to Wareham Development was issued on
February 25 with a 30-day notice to address the violation.
Medical Marijuana Research. On February 5, staff met with City of Oakland staff to learn how
Oakland is regulating medical marijuana. This was followed by a webinar on February 10.
Capital Improvement Program. On February 1, staff met with the Public Works Director to
discuss preparation of “project sheets” for the various projects that are planned to be included
in the 2016 - 2021 Capital Improvement Program.
Transportation Coordination Committee. This staff-level group met on February 3 to provide
an opportunity for all staff who work on car, pedestrian, bicycle, public transit, and related
infrastructure projects to come together in one place. This forum allows staff to address needs,
make and implement plans, and share information on their various transportation-related
projects. A major focus of the meeting was to finalize the list of all of the local and regional
transportation-related committees that are attended by staff of various departments. Regular
bi-monthly meetings of the TCC have now been scheduled.
Records Management. On February 8, staff met with the records management consultant
retained by the City Clerk’s Office and explained the record-keeping systems of the
department’s three divisions.
February 2016
Progress Report • Community Development Department | 17
Police Substation. Community Development staff met with the Police Chief, Public Works
Director, and City Manager on February 8 to discuss possible locations for a Police substation
and/or new Police headquarters. After reviewing a variety of options, it was concluded that a
promising possibility would be to include a Police station as part of a mixed use project on the
City’s Christie Avenue properties.
Fee Study. On February 18, 19, and 26, the Community Development Director, Chief Building
Official, and Acting Economic Development and Housing Manager participated in conference
calls with consultants NBS concerning data for the ongoing Master Fee Study from each of the
department’s three divisions.
Budget. Staff of the Planning, Building, and Economic Development and Housing divisions met
with the Finance Department in three separate back-to-back meetings on February 23 to
discuss the Fiscal Year 2016-17 and 2017-18 operating budget, which is currently being
prepared.
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 internally on February 17 to review the list of projects and collection procedures.
Invoices are being prepared as appropriate.
Interns. Economic Development and Housing Intern Fahteen Kahn resigned to accept a position
as an Assistant Planner in Santa Clara; her last day was February 29. Congratulations to Fahteen,
who will be greatly missed. Staff advertised and evaluated applications for the opening created
by Fahteen’s departure.

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.

SIGNIFICANT INCIDENTS
On December 26th at 17:29 hours we responded to the Elephant Bar at 5601 Bay St. for a reported structure
fire. E34, E35, ACF Battalion 4 along with Oakland Fire department responded. While en-route E35 called for a
second alarm due to a visible column of smoke. The crews entered the structure and reported a kitchen fire
that had been contained to the kitchen by the Ansul system, but the fire had traveled up the exhaust system to
the roof which caused a roof fire. The crews extinguished to roof fire and completed salvage, overhaul and
ventilation operations for several hours clearing smoke and confirming the fire was fully extinguished.

February 2016 Progress Report
Capital Improvements
Public Works has attached the Capital Improvement Spreadsheet that
outlines the progress of all Capital Projects. Staff will continue to provide a
narrative for those projects which necessitate more detail.
South Bayfront Bridge
Public Works Staff and the Consultant team met with UPRR representatives at
City Hall to discuss the bridge project. UPRR staff has changed since 2010 when
the City was last negotiating with them for the approvals needed to construct the
bridge. The direction received from UPRR was to submit a Preliminary
Engineering Letter to the railroad that explains the project and approves a cost
recovery account for which the City promises to reimburse the Railroad for all
their time spent on reviewing the project submittals. They also requested that
we provide them with the plans and specifications for the bridge so that they can
begin review the project.
The information requested was provided to the
railroad on December 14, 2015 and they have indicated that the review will begin
in January 2016.
In addition, City staff raised the question of available excess UPRR property on
the east side of the UPRR right-of-way adjacent to the Horton Landing Park. The
City has an MOU with the UPRR to sell any excess railroad property in that area
to the City. Now that the Sherwin Williams site has been remediated and their
spur track is no longer being used, the UPRR has excess property in that area
that can be added to the future Horton Landing Park site. The UPRR real
estate representative investigated this issue in December and is now interested
in having the City submit an application to UPRR to have them start their internal
process of moving forward with selling the excess property to the City.

Operations and Facilities Highlights:
‐
Storm Season/ El Nino Response: Public Works staff continues to
respond and take proactive measures for the El Nino rainy season by
taking several proactive measures that include:
o Filling and staging sand bags.
o Cleaning catch basins and drainage inlets.
o Monitoring the storm water pump on Powell Street.
o Removing leaves in gutters and catch basins throughout the City.
o Removing dead trees and hazardous tree limbs.
o Coordinating resources with the County and neighboring agencies.
‐
San Pablo Avenue Drain Inlets: Public Works staff cleaned all the storm
drain inlets on San Pablo Avenue. San Pablo Avenue is State Highway
123 and CalTrans typically has maintenance jurisdiction over the storm
drain inlets. However, CalTrans has not been doing the maintenance, so
City staff has taken the initiative to clean the inlets to prevent flooding.
‐
Set-Ups for Events: PW staff has been doing transportation and set-ups
for various meetings and events. The Senior Center has been having
meetings and classes at Ralph Hawley which has seen PW staff deliver
tables and chairs; set up for the event; tear down after; and re-transport
back for storage. Staff also set-up several events at the Civic Center
including the Employee Breakfast, staff budget meeting, as well as others.
Staff also set-up and delivered tables and chairs to PD for an event.
‐
Shellmound Landscape Improvements: Staff revitalized several ‘weedy’
areas along Shellmound by doing some Bay Friendly planting and site
improvements. Staff mended soils, installed weed barrier, planted BF
plants, and mulched. The improvements will improve the look along
Shellmound and reduce routine weed abatement maintenance.
‐
Doyle Hollis Basketball Court: The backboard at the Doyle Hollis Park
basketball court was vandalized and the backboard needed to be
replaced. The parts took about two weeks to come in and many residents
and park users inquired about the status during the down time. The
basketball court is a popular park amenity.
‐
Filling Tree Wells: Staff began a project of filling in tree wells with either
decomposed granite (DG) or bark/mulch. The purpose is to clean the tree
wells and improve pedestrian safety by reducing tripping hazards. The
tree wells usually need to be weeded and cleaned before the DG or mulch
can be added. Staff started on Adeline and will be working in the adjacent
neighborhoods during the initial phase of the project.
Powell Street Medians Weeding: Staff continued with a project to
remove weeds and install weed root barriers in the medians on the Powell
Street peninsula. The medians recently had plants installed, but there was
‐
no weed suppression installed. The weed barrier will reduce maintenance
and keep the medians aesthetically pleasing.
‐
Traffic Signs on Christie/ Shellmound Traffic Signals: Staff replaced
faded signage and installed some new traffic signage on the traffic signal
arms at several locations on Christie and Shellmound. The signage is
necessary to clarify traffic routes for drivers as well as for the safety of the
public and enforceability for the Police Department.
‐
Corp Yard Cleanup: Staff did some ‘spring cleaning’ for both Corp Yards
during February. The temporary Maintenance Yard at 5890 Christie that
the crew is currently working out of was reorganized and setup to be more
efficient for staff operations. Many items that had been in storage that
have become obsolete or were no longer needed were recycled or
disposed of to make room for items that are currently being used
throughout the City.
‐
Illegal Dumping: Staff has also seen an increase in illegal dumping
throughout the City recently. Staff has been increasing responses to
cleaning trash and debris in several areas that are routinely problematic
and seem to be getting worse.
‐
Leaves: Staff has been aggressively removing leaves throughout the City.
Leaf drop contributes to storm drain system blockages which can result in
localized flooding during rain events. Additionally, removing the leaves
from the streets and gutters prevents them from washing into the Bay.
‐
Capital Improvement Project Support: The Senior Center project
continues and is on target to be completed in May. Staff also assisted with
Joseph Emery Skate Spot installing signage and doing some landscaping
ahead of the park opening.
‐
SeeClickFix (SCF): PW staff continues to coordinate the SCF system for
Public Works related complaints and inquiries. The City continues to
respond to issues and monitor activity on the site.
‐
Training: PW crews participated in the following trainings:
o Bay Friendly Landscape Certification- four staff members certified
‐
General maintenance and service request duties were also performed
during the month.
