The City of Alameda is redesigning its website, alamedaca.gov, to better serve the public. The city is soliciting input with a brief survey to let them know how residents use the website, what they like and don’t like and what they want to see in a new site. To start the survey, visit www.alamedaca.gov/news/2018/06/06/city-alameda-website-redesign-survey.
The city is updating its 2008 Local Action Plan for Climate Protection and now gathering a first round of public input. Residents can assist the city with a community survey, which will help the city understand the peoples’ values and priorities around reducing greenhouse gas emissions and responses to the impacts of climate change.
The survey is now available online at surveymonkey.com/r/alamedaplan, in-person at the Main Library, 1550 Oak St., and at the front desk of most city departments. The survey will close Friday, Aug. 10.

A 10-minute survey has been created to assess local residents’ and businesses’ interest in increasing the minimum wage in Alameda. Currently, the minimum wage in Alameda, which coincides with state legislation, is: $11 for businesses with more than 25 employees and $10.50 for those with 25 or fewer employees. Many Bay Area cities have passed local minimum wage ordinances to more quickly reach and exceed $15 per hour. The City of Alameda is considering doing so as well.
