CONSENT CALENDAR
1. Approve the GHAD Minutes of the Board Meeting of May 23, 2023. It was moved by Board member Andrews and seconded by Board member Goldstein to approve the minutes; the motion carried unanimously (7-0-0).
PUBLIC HEARING
2. GHAD Manager Haley Ralston provided the staff report regarding the transfer of Plan of Control Responsibilities for Parcel B, Tract 7620 in The Reserve Development from La Vista, LP to the Hayward GHAD. All punchlist items have been satisfied so GHAD Staff recommended transfer of ownership and maintenance responsibilities for Parcel B to the GHAD.
Parcels A and P (which include a park and access roadway) will be returned to the Board for consideration of transfer approval at a later date as GHAD-maintained improvements have not yet been constructed on these parcels. Also, Benefit Zone No. 14 of Landscape and Lighting District No. 96-1 included Parcel B for irrigation and landscaping to Tennyson Road. GHAD Staff recommend the Board approve an updated Right-of-Entry agreement between the GHAD and City of Hayward to include Parcel B with the Board’s acceptance of this transfer.
There was no public comment on this item.
Motion by Board member Bonilla, and seconded by Board member Roche, to approve Resolution No. 23-02 approving the transfer of Plan of Control Responsibilities for Parcel B, Tract 7620 in The Reserve Development from La Vista, LP to the Hayward GHAD and approving the updated Right-of-Entry agreement; the motion carried unanimously (7-0-0).
GHAD MANAGER REPORT
3. The GHAD Manager reported that the GHAD has recently performed minor repair work and performed fall maintenance and monitoring going into the winter months. Ms. Ralston also shared the GHAD informational flyer with the Board per the Board’s prior request. The Hideaway (formally, the Ersted Property) development will likely request to transfer into the GHAD within the next 6 months. The SoMi development will likely request to transfer in within the next 48 months.
GHAD BOARD MEMBERS’ REPORTS, REFERRAL, AND FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
4. Board member Syrop reiterated a prior request for a primer on GHADs at a future meeting so the public can better understand its purpose and authority. Chair Salinas noted the Hayward GHAD has a website which can also be helpful for residents.
