The City of Alameda’s Public Works Department has purchased five new electric vehicles (EVs) and installed three EV charging stations at its Alameda Point facility, marking a major milestone in the city’s coordinated campaign to lower greenhouse gas 
emissions locally.

Property owners of rental units in the City of Alameda are now required to pay a Rent Program Fee. On June 6 the City Council adopted a resolution that sets the fee at $120 for each rental unit that was rented or available to rent as of July 1, 2017. 

In September, the City of Alameda will be releasing two Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for new public art in Alameda: one for physical art totaling $262,500, and one for cultural arts and arts programming totaling $87,500. 

The City of Alameda asks that local residents and business owners take an online survey about the future of economic development in the city. The survey is an essential step in the process of developing an Economic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP).
