Subject Accounting Transactions
When the City issued the $ 52 3 million Certificates of Participation in December, 1985, for parking, sewer
and other capital projects, it was the intent of the City Council to set up a reserve to offset the debt liability
of this issue Fund 570, the Capital Improvement Construction Fund, was created in 1986 ( Resolution
No 63815) to account for the reserve associated with this $52 3 million transaction Now, in order to set
up the reserve within Fund 570 and ensure the accounting and financial integrity of the City's funds and
records, several fund designations need to be approved By approving the following transactions, the
reserve in Fund 570 will be designated and reserved for purposes intended by the City Council
The repayment of principal and interest of the $ 15 million loan to the Oakland Athletics was recorded in
Fund 102, the Multi-purpose Fund It should have been recorded in Fund 570 as part of the reserved fund
balance
The City has entered into a City Council approved Memorandum of Understanding ( MOU) with the City
Center Garage II Joint Venture comprised of the Redevelopment Agency and Bramalea Pacific The City
intends to lend $22 million to the Joint Venture for the construction of Garage H at a very competitive rate
Funds for this loan are included in the undesignated, unreserved fund balance of Fund 570
Council action is therefore requested to reclassify the entire fund balance in Fund 570, including the
payments from the Oakland Athletics loan as designated fund balance $ 22 0 million will be reserved
within the designation as available for the Garage H loan The remainder of the designated fund balance
will be reserved for future lease payments
By approving this resolution, City Council will ensure that the City's accounting records are correct and
City funds are designated and reserved for appropriate City obligations It is recommended that the City
Council approve the resolution

800 Megahertz Trunked Radio System
Specification No 520 -571
Subject
A resolution has been prepared awarding a five -year contract to General Electric Mobile
Communications Distribution, Inc. for the above requirement in the amount of $5, 015, 893 55.
Funds for the first year of this contract are available in the Radio Fund and the project was
approved as part of the City' s five -year Capital Improvement Plan Funds for future years
will be generated through the Radio Fund
This contract is for the complete replacement of the City's current nine- channel radio system
consisting of apprommately 1160 hand -held and vehicle mounted radios This purchase also
includes
all
transmitters,
antennas,
dispatch
consoles,
power
distributors,
primary
installations, computer software, training, and equipment trade -in allowance required for
implementation of the new 14- channel " trunked" radio system. The trunked system supports
4
all other City departments which utilize radio communications including the Pohce and Fire
Departments
The major reason for proceeding with this project is the lack of additional frequencies on
the current system This causes risks to the health, safety, and welfare of citizens and City
employees as our need for radio communications and mobile data terminal communications
continues to increase. Any delays in the award process will have negative impacts on the
schedules to complete installation and operation of the new Police Dispatch/Command
Center and on the schedule to implement the new Fire Dispatch system recently approved
by City Council
This system will place all City agencies on a common network to enhance coordination
during emergencies
BACKGROUND
The bid specifications were mailed out for comments from potential bidders in March 1990.
The bid specifications were revised to accommodate the comments and suggestions of the
prospective bidders.
The revised bid specifications were sent out for formal bidding to prospective bidders. Two
bids were received on August 20,
1990. One from Motorola Communications and

Electronics, the other from General Electric Mobile Communications Distribution, Inc

Henry L. Gardner
December 18, 1990
After extensive review, staff has determined that there was only one responsive bidder,
General Electric Mobile Communication Distribution, Inc. Motorola did not meet the City's
specified
requirements
The major areas where Motorola's bid failed to meet the
requirements were.
1.
Motorola failed to include in its bid the requirement for ' back -up" in the
trunked radio system
Without this feature, the Motorola bid does not meet
the City' s requirements

Motorola' s bid does not provide for secure ( encrypted) voice to be transmitted
on all trunked channels as required by the specification Rather they provide

for only two ( 2) of the fourteen ( 14) total channels be specially equipped and
dedicated channels for secure voice transmissions
3
Motorola failed to include in its bid the requirements for data transmission
interfaces
This feature is required to support the computer information
systems contained in the public safety vehicles Motorola also did not include
in their bid the required connections ( data ports) for the transmission of
computer data" on the mobile radios
4.
Motorola refused to accept the specified requirement regarding the necessary

licensing to install the microwave portion of the system.
5.
Motorola did not bid firm pricing for the two years as required, only quoting
prices good for one year with an escalation clause
This situation makes it
impossible to determine the Citj's total cost of the Motorola system
General Electric Mobile Communications' bid does comply with the City' s bid specification
both in intent and the capabilities of the radio equipment bid. General Electric Mobile
Communications Distribution, Inc, and Encsson -GE, the predominate manufacturer of the
system bid, do not appear on the City's South African Divestment list
The Encsson- GE system has been demonstrated to City staff, including representatives of
the Police Department and the Office of General Services. As a result of the demonstiation,
these department representatives concur with our award recommendation.

This proposal not only relaxes certain requirements for bonding on City
projects but expands the pool of companies writing sureties on City projects
Although,
by several hundred.
the City assumes some additional financial
risks from this proposal,
staff believes that the proposal will adequately
protect City financial interests while increasing opportunities for minority
and women - owned firms and other new or expanding companies to qualify for
work on City projects.
In response to an inquiry from Councilmember Cannon as to whether this will

be
monitored;

Mr.
Roberts

the unsafe category
Limited Entry These buildings show evidence of structural damage which

require additional engineering evaluation to determine the severity of the
damage. If upon evaluation, engineering staff determines that building does
not pose a major hazard, then the building is categorized as limited entry
and posted with a yellow tag warning of some danger If the severity of the
damage is questionable, then the building is posted " unsafe." Property
owners were allowed to resume activities shortly after the earthquake in
most limited entry buildings. ( 264 buildings)
Unsafe Area -- These buildings and properties are in the immediate area of
dangerous or unstable structures
This category consists of homes with
unstable chimneys or buildings with fractured parapets. Unsafe areas are

barricaded and posted. ( 838 buildings)
Inspected -- This category is for those structures with cosmetic damage
such as plaster cracks or minor chimney damage, or buildings with damage
that is not structural in nature. Some inspected buildings do not have any

SUMMARY OF PROJECT
A
THE EARTHQUAKE OF OCTOBER 17, 1989
One of the most highly regarded older buildings which was critically damaged by the 7 1
magnitude October 17, 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake was the Oakland City Hall The
damage was significant and hazardous and all operations were moved out of the building on
an emergency basis The City then embarked on a survey of the damage and analysis of
repair alternatives for rebuilding City Hall The team of engineers and architects are submitting this Final Report to summarize the findings of this investigation and the recommendations for repair of the damage This report is published at the request of the City
Manager' s Office for the use of the community, the City of Oakland staff and Federal and
State agencies involved with the Project
B
THE CITY OF OAKLAND' S RESPONSE
Shortly after the earthquake, the City implemented a three phase plan which included first,
initial building hazard assessment, second, detailed damage analysis and repair recommendations, and third, design and reconstruction
The initial hazard assessment by Messinger &
Associates, Structural Engineers, showed that more than 20% of the building' s seismic- relat-
ed structural capacity had been lost and significant structural repaiis were necessary
throughout the building
A significant constraint on the repair options for this building is the fact that the building is
on the National Register of Historic Places and thus the repairs should not permanently alter
the historically significant portions of the building These areas include all building exteriors, the primary public gathering and ceremonial spaces in the first three floors, and the
Clocktower
An Historical Structures Report has been completed and is on file with the State
Office of Historical Preservation
Phase I, the initial hazard assessment, revealed that substantial structural repairs and related
work were required
The task of Phase II was to formulate a strategy for repairing the
building, and balance the often conflicting demands for structural strength, historical preservation, life safety and cost effectiveness Phase III, the next and final phase, consists of
the design and construction of the repairs to the building
C
EVALUATION OF DAMAGE AND REPAIR RECOMMENDATIONS ( PHASE 11)
The Phase II work, which is documented in the final report, included data collection, analysis, evaluation of alternative solutions and recommendations
The data collection work
focused on a study of the damage to the structural systems, the architectural finishes, and
the mechanical and electrical systems Notably, serious damage was found in the structural
frame of the clocktower and in the hollow clay tile throughout the building Concurrently,
data on repair alternatives was collected and numerous building technologies were researched
for applicability to the unique needs of the project
Eight structural repair alternatives were analyzed with respect to various parameters including code requirements, structural efficiency, constructabihty, cost effectiveness, space utili-
zation, aesthetics, and impact on the historic fabric of the building

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
RECOMMENDATIONS
REPAIR PLAN
The design team recommends a repair plan ( known as Alternate 4B) that would provide a
seismically isolated ( described below) building with a strengthened frame
This repair plan
offers significant advantages over the other plans that were considered and the study team
and the State Office of Historic Preservation have signed a letter of consensus on the
recommendation The Structural Peer Review, performed by Forrell and Elsesser Engineers,
also clearly supports this plan Some of the advantages of the repair plan compared to the
seven other alternatives studied are as follows
Minimizes impact on the historic fabric
Minimizes cracking in future earthquakes
The City will be able to reoccupy the building with minimal delay after a future
earthquake
Non -secured fixtures, furniture and equipment will suffer less damage during a
future earthquake
Size and amount of structural reinforcing strengthening elements are minimized

Repairs are highly cost effective and the initial costs are the lowest of the three
alternatives
which
were estimated
We strongly recommend that the repairs should be handled with restraint and care for the
historic fabric of the building
Every opportunity should be taken to repair in place and
where not possible, then to repair in matching materials and colors

A preservation architect
or specialist should be involved with every step of the project Some of the historic components needing special consideration are
1
Original finishes on the exterior of building including windows and doors
Original finishes in the podium floors and selected areas in the office tower
Selected radiators, gauges, light fixtures, vaults
Selected plumbing fixtures, selected stairs
Original doors, windows, trim, glass partitions, hardware
We also recommend that the Office Tower be completely renovated and upgraded to Class
A" office space, and provisions for open office planning be included All new HVAC and
lighting should also be provided The entire building must be upgi tided by code and should
include life safety systems and exiting and accessibility requirements The podium level
interiors should be repaired and restored to their original condition
B
CONSTRUCTION
Phase 3 includes the design and construction of the repairs and concludes with the return of
City Hall to use by the City We recommend that Phase 3 proceed in separate " bid packages"
This accelerated phasing will require about 33 months allowing project completion by
late 1993 ( See Appendix J, Volume I)
require about 43 months
By contrast, the single bid package approach would
We strongly recommend the Clocktower repair proceed at once on
an emergency basis to augment its weakened condition

PROJECT GOALS
The development of repair alternatives was based on the City' s project goals as follows
2 2
To repair the damage caused by the earthquake to the building' s souctuial system according
to City of Oakland building codes and the 1988 Uniform Building Code ( UBC)
To repair and, where appropriate, pieserve and iestote the historic character of the building
To upgrade the building' s life safely and accessibility pathways to conform to the 1988 UBC
To be cost effective
STRUCTURAL REPAIR PLANS

A
Six structural strengthening schemes were initially devised to be studied for their feasibility
The alternatives are identified throughout this report as 1 A, 1 B, 2 A, 3 A, 3 B, and 3 C
These proposed solutions were all " code based" solutions, i e , analyzed by applying the static
equivalent force prescribed by the 1988 Uniform Building Code ( UBC)
Three of these
code based" schemes were " fixed base" structural solutions, and three were " seismic isolated"
solutions
An explanation of the " fixed base" as opposed to " seismic isolated" solutions are
discussed below
B
Oakland City Hall is on the National Register of Historic Places
Consequently, meetings
were held with the State Office of Historic Preservation ( SOHP) to determine the constraints
imposed by both the state and national historical preservation groups
The following infoi-
matron was derived from meetings with SOHP and local historians and preservationists
The exterior materials cannot be replaced nor replicated, and 2)
1)
interior structural materials
can be removed and replaced with strengthening materials in non - historically sensitive areas
of the building
The SOHP suggested that a " performance analysis" be performed to determine strengthening
requirements
The difference between a " performance analysis" and a " code analysis" is that
the former mobilizes the strength of the existing materials ( i e , unreinforced masonry walls)
while the latter does not allow the use of non -code complying materials such as unreinforced masonry
This approach added two " performance based" analysis to the original six
code based" analyses
2 3
These schemes are identified as 4 A and 4 B in this report
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS AND BASE ISOLATION
A detailed study modeled the future performance of Oakland City Hall when retrofitted with
each of two alternative repair systems
a fixed base solution and a lead - rubber seismic isolation
system
To avoid overdesign of the structural strengthening system, the existing structure was given
credit for the strength it exhibited during the Loma Prieta earthquake This " performance"
approach therefore requires less strengthening than the conventional, code - based approach,
which ignores the existing capacity of the building Accordingly, this study began by

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS AND BASE ISOLATION ( continued)
assessing the reliable capacity of the structure Site specific ground motions were then used
to evaluate demands in the structure during future earthquakes for the two retrofit alternatives considered In each case, the seismic demands and the key resisting elements were
compared with the corresponding existing capacities, thus identifying elements that would
require strengthening A repair strategy was finally recommended on the basis of seismic
performance and minimum impact on the historical fabric of the building
2 4
PROPOSED STRENGTHENING
The performance analysis of the isolated building revealed that key resisting elements in the
superstructure need strengthening The selected solution should guarantee reliable performance
during future earthquakes and have minimum impact on the historic fabric in the building The
main decision involved whether or not to rely exclusively on the load path demonstrated during
the Loma Prieta earthquake ( i e
the exterior walls and the podium diaphragms)
The available
options were first to strengthen only the existing diaphragms and exterior walls, second, to provide additional continuous interior shear walls, or a combination of both solutions
After careful-
ly considering the different alternatives, the following decisions and recommendations were made
A
RECOMMENDED RETROFIT SCHEME

CLOCKTOWER
The clocktower needs strengthening, independently of whether or

not the structure is isolated The shear capacity of the tower itself needs to be upgrad-
ed
A new transfer system to safely and reliably transmit overturning forces generated
in the clocktower needs to be provided

MAIN TOWER
In the main tower, the exterior walls piovided the main resisting
mechanism for both story shear and overturning, and suffered minor damage during
the Loma Prieta
Therefore, this load path should be relied upon in the future, and
credit given to the available strength of the exterior walls
The demand in the North -
South walls is less than the reliable capacity of 200 psi and thus no additional capacity
is required in these walls
In the East -West direction, the demands in the exterior
walls exceed 200 PSI, therefore additional capacity is required in these walls
This
capacity will be provided by adding new concrete shear walls around the elevator
shafts This solution has little impact on the historic material in the building
PODIUM
Shear forces and overturning moments need to be transferred from the
base of the main tower to the podium structure
During the Loma Prieta earthquake,
the overturning was resisted by steel columns on the exterior footprint of the main
tower
These columns continue through the podium to the base of the structure
The
shear was transmitted horizontally through the two roofs ( at 112' and 88') to the exterior walls of the podium These load paths should be used again, but should be augmented by additional shear walls which travel through the podium to the basement
There will be four such walls, each an L- shape, corresponding in plan to the four
corners of the main tower
DIAPHRAGMS
The horizontal roof diaphragms at levels 112' and 88' will be
strengthened with concrete overtopping, achieving good bond to the existing diaphragm
Close attention should be paid to the connection of the diaphragm to the /
exterior walls of both the main tower and the podium

BASEMENT
A lead - rubber isolation system will be installed in the basement and
a new diaphragm will be provided immediately above the isolators to ensure common
movement across all bearings Story -deep grade beams in the basement will be added
to pick up load from the new podium walls and the existing columns on the perimeter
of the main tower These will help to spread the loads more evenly to the isolators
below and help in the resistance to overturning
2 5
PERFORMANCE OF RETROFITTED BUILDING
The performance of Oakland City Hall retrofitted with the proposed seismic isolation system and
new concrete shear walls was evaluated through a series of dynamic analyses
Elastic models of
the new walls were added in parallel to the stick model of the isolated building The translational
degrees of freedom of the new walls were slaved at each story level to the corresponding building
degrees of freedom The combined system was analyzed under the 475 year design events, by
applying each available ground acceleration record in both directions simultaneously Variations
in the stiffness of the building and the new walls were considered to take into account possible
stiffness degradation due to large amplitude effects The following combinations were studied
building with stiffness consistent with measured frequencies, without new walls and with untracked new walls ( gross section stiffness), soft building ( 30% reduction in stiffness) without new
walls, with untracked walls, and with walls softened the same amount than the building
A
The impact of adding the new walls on the distribution of story shear in the existing structure caused a significant reduction of the shear resisted by the exterior walls in the first
three stories At the roof, mezzanine and fourth stories, the benefit of adding these elements is less noticeable, there is even a slight increase of shear at the mezzanine level
this
indicates that the abrupt change in stiffness of the new walls at the roof level should be
minimized by providing a gradual transition in stiffness from the podium to the main tower
In the main tower, the new walls caused a reduction in the story shear demand in the exterior walls of about 20% in the East -West direction, and a negligible reduction in the North South direction
B
The gross shear stresses in the exterior piers of the podium and main tower were calculated
to be below the reliable value of 200 psi in all stories except the mezzanine ( fifth floor)
Replacing the hollow clay tile interior walls in the roof and mezzanine floors by stronger
and stiffer elements would accomplish the dual objectives of reducing the demands in the
exterior walls to acceptable levels, and providing a more gradual change in stiffness between
the podium and main tower

REPORT ON REPAIR OF MECHANICAL SYSTEMS

A
Seismic isolation will require the removal of the mechanical systems in the basement
We
recommend a new primary mechanical room to be located on the first floor loading dock
area and connected to the existing podium level distribution system via the revised basement
We also recommend a new secondary mechanical room to handle .lust the Office Tower and
the possible HVAC system to be located in the two story areaways on the Twelfth Floor
We also recommend selective replacement of systems on all floors, the Office Tower systems would be almost completely replaced and the podium would be least affected

475 year period was chosen
Determination of Soil- Structure interaction parameters including soil spring stiffness and
damping ratios These were determined to be of negligible importance
Soil Bearing Capacity The soils beneath the mat foundation of city Hall were found to be
dense silty sands with varying amounts of fine soils intermixed within the soil profile these
sands are part of the Merritt formation which is estimated to be more than 100 feet thick at
the site
Bedrock is estimated to be 400 to 500 feet below the surface
The unfactored
bearing capacity ( failure load) beneath the mat foundation is 20 tons per square foot
appropriate factor of safety should be applied to the failure load for design purposes
3 1
An
SITE SPECIFIC RESPONSE SPECTRA
To develop site specific response spectra and time- history ground motion data for the Oakland
City Hall site, Dames and Moore performed a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis ( PSHA)
The
procedure first considers the probability of an earthquake occurring within a small area, being a
specific size, and the attenuation of the motion to the site combine to the site combine to give
the probability of occurrence of specific ground motion at the site
The seismic hazard study
requires the acceptance of the following assumptions
3 3
That the seismic history and geology of the area me sufficiently knoivii
That the disttibution between large and small eaithquakes is undeistood
That the attenuation of earthquake ground motion with distance from the source is known and
can be expressed numerically
SEISMIC ISOLATION FEASIBILITY ( Final Report on Forced Vibration Test, by Anco)
in order to determine the feasibility of seismic isolation of City Hall it was necessary to conduct
some preliminary tests which included an ambient vibration test and a forced vibration test
A
AMBIENT VIBRATION TEST
The purpose of this test was to provide data in terms
of the resonant frequencies of the first few modes of vibration of City Hall and to provide
descriptions of the shapes of those modes of vibration
The minute movements of the build-
ing, which are caused by wind and traffic, were recorded by highly sensitive transducers
located throughout the building
This data provided preliminary fundamental building
periods which suggested that seismic isolation was feasible

test was performed
Following the ambient vibration test a forced vibration
The objectives of the forced vibration test were to
1)
confirm the
periods of vibration and mode shapes of the building to a more refined accuracy than was
obtained in the ambient vibration test, and 2) from the data obtained, develop a more re-
fined computer model of the building which would match the data obtained from the forced
vibration test
A computer model was established and was subjected to the ground motion
obtained from the nearby instrumented 17th and Webster building to determine the forces to
which it was subjected during the Loma Pneta earthquake These forces, once obtained
were then analyzed to determine the " proof capacities" of the unreinforced masonry walls of
the building

FINAL REPORT ON EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT,
TESTING AND SURVEY, PART I ( TEI)

4 1
STRUCTURAL FRAME TESTING
VISUAL INSPECTION
Damage assessment involved the stripping of fireproofing
from numerous steel columns, localized areas of steel trusses and certain exterior
beam / column connections
The objective was to observe the steel members to determine if
any steel connections were damaged by the earthquake and if the steel was constructed
according to the plans and specifications
B
MATERIALS TESTING
Samples were taken from selected beams and columns to
determine the type of steel, i e , chemical composition for weldabihty, and yield and tensile
strengths
Major damage was uncovered at the clocktower, floor 16, and was repaired

Conciele Coie Samples
Concrete core samples were taken from critical portions of
the structure to determine the compressive strength of the existing concrete

Reinfoicing
Reinforcing steel mesh in the floor slabs were extracted and tested to
determine its physical properties
4 3
EXTERIOR MASONRY INFILL TESTING

A
VISUAL INSPECTION
Although most exterior masonry infill walls appear to have
suffered some damage, the engineers proposed to study a typical floor, in this case the sixth
floor, as a representative example This floor was chosen because it had been partially gutted
in preparation for renovation prior to the earthquake
Damage assessment involved the
removal of plaster to expose the brick masonry backing behind the granite facing on tine
exterior wall
The objective was to examine the amount of relative movement between the
structural steel and infill brick masonry This was done on all four sides of the building at
locations selected by the structural engineer
B
IN -PLACE SHEAR TEST
In -place shear tests were made to determine the shear
capacity of the unreinforced brick masonry
Four tests were taken at the sixth floor and
four in the clocktower and showed the masonry was in extremely good quality
C

EXTERIOR CLADDING AND TERRA COTTA
The results of our survey for each area are summarized as follows
Podium Base
Approximately one- hundred, eighty -five ( 185) damage areas were observed and
documented around the perimeter of the podium base, of these damages approximately
thirty percent ( 30 %) are earthquake related
b
Damage consisted mainly of cracked and spalled terra -cotta blocks
Two ( 2) significant
earthquake cracks were observed in the granite facade pieces at the east elevation
Each crack measured approximately 25 mils ( 025 ") to 30 mils ( 030 ") in width by thirty
feet ( 30') long

2
These cracks are a potential point of ingress for water
Office Tower
A total of one - thousand, one hundred and eight ( 1, 108) damage areas were observed
and documented at all elevations
Approximately eighty -one percent ( 81 %)
of these
damages are earthquake related

b
Damage was concentrated at the terra -cotta blocks around the window openings
damage consisted of cracking and spalting at varying magnitudes
The
It is our opinion that
some of these damaged terra -cotta blocks could fall in a moderate earthquake
At two ( 2) locations, entire blocks spalled and fell to the main roof below
Temporary
coverings are recommended to protect the exposed structural steel from corrosion
Clocktower
A total of two- hundred and fifty -nine ( 259) damage areas were observed and were
documented at elevations of the clocktower

74 %)
Approximately seventy -four percent
of these damages are earthquake related
The clocktower is clad entirely in
terra -cotta
The clocktower was observed to be more damaged than any other parts of the building
In general, damage was limited to cracking and spalting of the terra - cotta
However, two ( 2) hazardous structural failures were observed as follows

At Floor 16, the north wall sustained a diagonal shear failure ( "x" crack) in the
unreinforced masonry mfill This wall has been shored
2)
At Floor 17, a corner of the cornice section was severely cracked The crack was
measured to be approximately one inch ( 1 ") in width and extends back into the
brick wall
It was questionable if the cornice anchorage was intact
The cornice
was shored and secured to the building

HOLLOW CLAY TILE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT
The hollow clay tile ( H C T ) walls were surveyed for visible damage at Floor six ( 6) and at the
first level entry way The results of each survey are explained separately below
A
FLOOR 6 ( typical sample)
A total of six ( 6) interior partitions and two ( 2) interior faces of exterior walls were sur-
veyed for damage Each of the six ( 6) partitions is approximately 15' - 6" wide by 10' - 0"
high and the exterior walls are approximately 19' - 0" wide by 10' - 0" high The walls were
selected by the Structural Engineer, refer to Architectural drawing Sheet 8 for wall locations
The partition walls are constructed of 12 "xl2 "x6" H C T units mortared together and covered with a plaster finish
of the H C T
walls
The contractor removed the plaster finish to expose the surface
It was observed that all of the six ( 6) interior partitions had sustained
damage as indicated by an array of cracks

Crack widths ranged from approximately 5 mils ( 005 ") to 60 mils ( 060 ") and ran diagonally
through the blocks and through the mortar joints
The interior partitions surveyed are all
oriented in an east - west direction
At the interior side of the two exterior walls we did not observe any visible cracks or other
visible signs of distress
B
FIRST FLOOR ENTRY WAY ( typical sample)
Two ( 2) walls at the first floor entry way were visually surveyed to determine the extent of
the cracks observed in the plaster finish These two ( 2) walls are very similar in appearance
and both are approximately 40' - 0" wide and 65' - 0" high
floor to the base of the main roof rotunda
The walls extend from the first
They are constructed of 12 "x 12 " x6" H C T units

PEER REVIEW PROCESS
Because of the critical nature of two disciplines, structural engineering and cost estimating, the
City retained special consultants to provide a ' Peer Review" of the design team' s recommendations
The structural review was performed by Forelt & Elsessor Engineers and their letter to the
City expresses agreement that the design team' s recommendation is indeed the optimum
choice
The cost estimating review was performed by Adamson Associates and they worked without
contact with the City' s estimator, Max Horn Their total construction costs for the three
preferred alternatives ( including the one recommended alternative) were generally within
10%
of the initial estimates and this is considered to be well within the bounds of accuracy
for conceptual estimates of this nature

Subject
County Charges for Property Tax Administration and Prisoner Booking
This report addresses the County' s proposal to charge cities for property tax administration
and prisoner bookings
Staff recommends that Council go on record in opposition to the
prisoner booking charges

BACKGROUND
For the 1990 -91 fiscal year, the State of California balanced its budget by reducing funding
to Counties and coincidentally gave Counties authority to charge local jurisdictions for
administering and processing property tax receipt collections as well as charging fees for
booking prisoners, all to be retroactive to July 1, 1990
This legislation was introduced
through Senate Bill 2557 and subsequently put into law by Chapter 466 Preliminary
estimates of these charges to the City of Oakland for the current year are approximately
2M These items are unbudgeted as the State' s action was taken after the City' s budget
was adopted
A Technical Review Committee, composed of City and County representatives, has been
established to determine how these charges will be calculated with an objective to eliminate
as much controversy as possible regarding the basis for setting and collecting the fees We
hope, through their efforts, the charges can be reduced
STATUS
The Technical Review Committee has met on several occasions to review issues pertaining
to the implementation of SB 2557
Property Tax Administration Charges
Committee members reviewed detailed documentation of the County' s costs and offsetting
revenue for the Assessor, Tax Collector, and Auditor - Controller
These figures appeared
reasonable and the committee assumed that they reflected an appropriate distribution of
09
costs and the dollar value was accurate The Committee recommends that these costs and
revenues be subjected to an annual independent audit in the future
Additionally, the Committee reviewed the issue of the loss of interest income on property
tax revenue due to the County' s procedures for distributing property tax revenue and interest
income Subsequently, the County has agreed to advance payments based on the prior year
secured roll property tax actual revenues distributed 50 percent for the first installment, 45
percent for the second installment, with a clean up distribution later in the fiscal year This
schedule should reduce the loss of interest income for other jurisdictions The County will
also calculate its interest income on unapportioned property tax and share this interest
income with all jurisdictions on an annual basis
Prisoner Booking Charges
The Committee discussed the institution of prisoner booking charges and reviewed the cost
basis for the County's proposed charges However, the representatives of cities and of the
Alameda County Police Chiefs Association remain fundamentally opposed to implementation
of any prisoner booking charges by the County It is our view that cities are already
providing prisoner services that are actually the responsibility of the County
SUMMARY
The implementation of SB 2557 places an additional burden on the City as proposed charges
by the County for property tax administration and prisoner booking are unbudgeted items
The charges for the current fiscal year approximate $ 2M Staff has not been able to identify
a source of payment
The property tax administration fees appear reasonable and the Technical Review
Committee has agreed on the cost methodology and distribution

Fundamental differences remain between the County and City representatives regarding the
imposition of prisoner booking charges The Alameda County Police Chiefs Association is
reviewing this further Staff recommends that the Council go on record in opposition to the
prisoner booking charges
As issues are resolved by the Technical Review Committee, a status report will be forwarded
for Council' s review

Subsequent to the May 15th Council Committee meeting,

In addition to selling RPP stickers to employees of schools and day

care centers,
staff recommends selling RPP stickers to employees of

organizations
within

area.
Based upon a further review of the existing RPP ordinance, it

been determined that the Public Works Director currently has
has
authority to recommend either a two -hour or four -hour parking time

limit within
proposed RPP
area.
Therefore,
it
is
not necessary
to amend the RPP ordinance to provide the Director with authority

regarding time limits as proposed last May.
In the May 1st report to Council,

staff recommended increasing the

and businesses.
In
addition,
staff recommended increasing the parking fines charged for

illegally parking in a RPP area.
After hearing concerns expressed
at the May 15, 1990 Council Committee on Public Safety, Public
Works &
Capital
Improvements,
Land
Use,
and
Environmental
Concerns
meeting, the Committee recommended against increasing the RPP fees

for residents.
Fee increases are still recommended, however, for
RPP stickers sold to business owners and their employees, as well
as for parking violations.

The ordinance being considered at this time will incorporate the
final recommendations listed below into the City' s RPP ordinance.

Included
in those recommendations
is
a proposal to
increase the
fine charged for parking illegally in a RPP zone from $ 14 to $ 21.

This proposed fine increase was approved in concept by the Council
Committee at its May 15, 1990 meeting.
In addition to the fine increase, staff is proposing an increase in
fees for stickers sold to business owners and their employees.
The
proposed fee increase for RPP stickers is not a part of the

ordinance being considered at this time, but will be presented to
Council in January as a change in the City' s Master Fee Schedule. /

Dear Mr Yee
Thank you for the opportunity to meet with your staff to preview and
comment on the proposed guidelines for evaluating shared access tacility
designs We are happy to hear that you will be making some changes in
response to our comments Because this meeting provided our first
exposure to the guidelines it was difficult to formulate a comprehensive
response on the spot Since the meeting we have been able to review our
notes, discuss all the ramifications of what staff proposed, and put
together a comprehensive response
We have four additional mayor comments to make about the guidelines

1
Criteria for Allowing a Shared Access Facility
Before listing the guidelines relating to public safety or aesthetics we

feel there should be a guideline setting forth the conditions under which a
shared access facility is allowable This will make it clear that the
permitting of a shared access facility is not automatic We propose that

one or more of the following criteria must be met ( and supporting
documentation from a licensed architect has been submitted) if a shared
access facility is to be allowed
A Public safety is improved

B The total amount of excavation needed for development is reduced
C The preservation of trees, landforms, or views is significantly

increased
D The total amount of land coverage of the development is reduced

E The land in question does not have legal street frontage
T7
a - 100
November 18, 1990
2 Number of Homes Served by a Shared Access Facility

The ramification of the " width matrix" staff presented is that the numoer
of homes which can be served by a shared access facility would be

increased substantially We don' t think this is appropriate Both the
interim guidelines for common driveways and the subdivision regulations
governing PAE' s limit the number of homes served to a maximum of 4 We

think this limit should be retained Increasing the limit will only
encourage the creation of a number of substandard, private streets
Shared access facilities can lead to a better project design under certain
circumstances or allow greater development of small, iinsubdivided
parcels, but they should not be a substitute for a public street when a
public street is called for
We reel that you should simplify the " width matrix" to the following
A Minimum width of 20' for homes situated greater than 150' from the
nearest public street
Minimum width of 12' for homes situated within 150' of the nearest
public street Maximum length of 150' for a deadend facility and

300' f or a through f aci 1 i ty
The proposed requirement of a minimum entry width of 18' and passing

bays every 100' should be retained for situation B above We are also in
agreement with all the requirements you proposed on turning radii, width
at curves, maximum slope, minimum vertical clearance, turnarounds,
roadway composition, guard rails, etc
We believe the above proposal strikes a good balance between providing

for public satety while minimizing the environmental impact of shared
access facilities
77
i a - 100
3-
November 18. 1990
Height of Retaining Wails
We feel that your proposed guideline on the height of retaining walls

should be made a little more stringent The limits of 6' for any single
wall and 8' for any combination of walls adjacent to tha roadway should
become absolute limas
That is, no combination of walls used to create
the snared access tacility should exceed 8' We don' t reel that benching
between walls can overcome the inherently Intrusive character of a large
wall system, therefore, large wall systems should be discouraged
4
Maximum Land Area Coverage for a Shared Access Facility
We feel that you need a guideline on the amount of surface area that can
be covered by a shared access facility This will avoid large, unsightly

expanses of pavement and preserve open space around the homes that are
built
We propose that this guideline limit the coverage to a maximum of
20% of the area of any parcel which is to be developed A greater coverage

could be allowed in the case where a deed restriction is placed on the
nonconforming parcel( s) to preclude future development

We hope that you will carefully consider these additional comments
betore finalizing the guidelines to be presented to the Planning

Commission on December 5
We are concerned that shared access
facilities may be used to maximize development on difficult budding sites

to the detriment of the community at large It is our objective to restrir_
t
the use of shared access facllities to those instances where they lead to a
superior project designs

To whom it may concernGreetings,
Here at the SUN Campaign, we imagine that you are as troubled by the prospect
of war in the Persian Gulf as we are. That is why we are asking your good
city to pass a New Year' s Peace Resolution urging our national leaders to
pursue a peaceful solution to the Persian Gulf crisis and expressing a
sincere hope for the safe return home of American men and women serving
in the Middle East. I have enclosed a copy of a model resolution which
has been sent to many cities throughout the state andis also on the national
computer network
called PEACENET..
Support the United Nations,
or the SUN Campaign,
is a nonprofit corporation
with membership throughout California. Our purpose is to promote the good

work of the U. N.
with particular respect to peace, human rights, and the

The SUN Campaign is convinced that this noncontroversial state-
environment.
ment for peace is a timely expression of the popular American sentiment

on this issue today. in recent years municipal bodies have played an
increasingly important role in speaking out on issues that are of consequence

both locally and globally. The Persian Gulf crisis has already touched
communities in many different ways and the effect of war on our towns
and cities would be incalcuable. Your city' s support and passage of the
enclosed resolution would be a special gift to humanity during this
special time of year.
Thank
you for your time and we shall look forward
to speaking with a representative from your city.
