By Erica Madison “I am not anti-education”, said Nancy Pyle, at Monday night’s Planning Board meeting. Pyle, who lives in the St. Joseph neighborhood, was in opposition to the continuation of the St. Joseph master plan.  By Erica Madison On Nov. 23, 2009, Planning Board members Cook and Cunningham, recused themselves from a two hour long meeting. By Erica Madison Two weeks ago City Council members were happy to entertain the idea of a Boys and Girls Club. Unfortunately this was before they realized the City of Alameda would share a 25-year responsibility. By Erica Madison On Tuesday 1, 2009, the Alameda Boys and Girls Club asked City Council members to divert $2 Million from a park grant known as Measure WW. Measure WW was passed by the citizens of Alameda in November of 2008. The Measure awarded the city a grant for $3.46 million, which is funded by the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD). By Erica Madison After a month of discussions between the city and the property owners, 1913 Sherman Street will finally become rezoned as a two-family residence district. Here it is folks, your regularly scheduled, perennial, local school district funding crisis! A month and a half after learning that the (now deposed) City Manager had been hiding from the general fund $2.1 million in liabilities by shuffling it through special service funds, Alameda City Council will tonight consider a proposal to raise appeal feels by more than four times. Last night, in a special closed-door session, Alameda Mayor Beverly Johnson was (temporarily) foiled in her latest attempt to do a favor for her developer friend and supporter, Ron Cowan. Johnson is pushing for an exchange of the Mif Albright Golf Course land with Cowan’s less-valuable Harbor Bay Village VI property. Presumably, this is a favor from the Mayor to Cowan. At a recent event hosted by the International Conference of Shopping Centers, Alameda Mayor Beverly Johnson was quoted saying that “Alameda needs more chain retail.” Evidently, our Mayor hasn’t been paying attention to what’s happened to Emeryville lately. Earlier this week, the Sierra Club passed a resolution supporting complete restoration of contaminated property and creation of a national wildlife refuge at Alameda Point. |
