Carol Gottstein, M.D., of Alameda, is an historical consultant to the Restoration Advisory Board, a joint U.S. Navy and community group overseeing efforts to clean up the former Naval Air Station Alameda, now Alameda Point. She’s concerned that proposals to reduce the frequency of Board meetings may lead to the premature elimination of the oversight body. Yesterday, a federal court judge dismissed fraud claims against former Interim City Manager Ann Marie Gallant, in a lawsuit against the City of Alameda over the city’s termination of SunCal as the master developer for Alameda Point.
