Because of the large capital commitments, expenses and outlay for a project of such magnitude, the timing and expedient processing of entitlements is important to Kaiser. Kaiser desires that the City and its staff understands the importance of the Project schedule and the need for efficient prioritization and allocation of staff time and resources to avoid undue delay in the provision of health care to the community. Kaiser understands that the entitlement process will undergo extensive public review and comments, but desires that the processing of the Medical Center application be granted administrative priority by the City of San Leandro.
