BACKGROUND Analysis In September, 2005, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 2005-017 that re-established the BID. The BID provides funding for a shuttle service to West San Leandro, commonly known as the LINKS. The ordinance defined the boundaries of the BID, the amount of the annual assessment, the approved use of the assessment funds, and the effective period of the assessment. At that time, the City Council directed staff to convene an Advisory Board each year to review the performance of the LINKS Shuttle.
