ALAMEDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
BOARD AGENDA ITEM


Item Title:Resolution No. 2018-2019.57 Authorization for Application for Public Benefit Allowance Acquisition of Surplus Federal Real Property for Educational Purposes (Parcel 2 of the Former Alameda Naval Air Station (240 and 250 Singleton Avenue))
Item Type:Action
Background:

Parcel 2 of the former Alameda Naval Air Station was formerly owned by AUSD.  The parcel consists of two sets of buildings, with one set on the east side and the other set on the west side.  The west side set of buildings has the address of 240 Singleton Avenue.  The site operated as Woodstock Child Development Center from 2005-2010, when the site closed.  The east side set of buildings has the address of 250 Singleton Avenue.  The site operated as Miller Elementary School from 1975-2006.  After Miller Elementary School closed, Island High School was located there from 2008-2011, when the site closed.  The two sets of buildings were closed, and ownership was returned to the Navy.  

In 2015,  as the District experienced growth and the City of Alameda continued developing, the District took advantage of the Naval property’s availability, applied, and was granted ownership. That application had the intention of the District using the property to rehouse WCDC and Island High. Since then the District has discovered that the buildings are not suitable for direct educational services, hence the District is now proposing to use the parcel to house a maintenance yard, food services warehouse, and office space for itinerant staff members.

 

 

Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2018-2019.57 authorizing the updated application for Parcel 2 of the former Alameda Naval Air Station (the former Singleton Avenue properties).
