According to a letter sent to SunCal by the City of Alameda, SunCal’s failed February 2, 2010 Measure B ballot measure election cost the City $279,629.61. The Interim City Manager Ann Marie Gallant is asking SunCal to make good on an offer to pay for the special election. [...] In the wee hours yesterday morning, SunCal withdrew their request to the City of Alameda for a 60-day “tolling agreement” in association with their March 22nd deadline to provide an alternate development plan for Alameda Point that complies with City laws and SunCal’s Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) with the City. [...] Earlier this week, SunCal sent a letter to the City of Alameda, requesting a 60-day “tolling period” regarding the Notice of Default that the City issued to SunCal on February 4th, after the Measure B election.

[...] Dear Editor: Some folks are still in denial, like John Knox White, (Alameda Journal, “My Turn” Feb. 5), folks who think that SunCal’s plan for the Point was just fine, and that we opposed it only because of the messy details. Wrong. We opposed it for the very reasons he supported it — dense housing.
