WEST SAN LEANDRO SHUTTLE BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT ANNUAL REPORT FY 2007-08 <br />In early 2004, during preparation of the budget for Fiscal Year 2004-05, the SUMO proposed a <br />long-term revenue plan to provide sustainable ongoing funding for the LINKS. The funding <br />model included contributions from the business community, grant funding and financial support <br />from the San Leandro Redevelopment Agency on an as-needed basis. For Fiscal Year 2004-05, <br />the SUMO asked the City Council to establish a BID to assess the business community served <br />by the LINKS an annual fee to pay for a portion of operating costs. With this guaranteed <br />revenue source, the SUMO would continue to seek out grant opportunities to help fund the <br />remainder of the LINKS budget. <br />After completing all appropriate notices and public hearings as required by State law, on June <br />21, 2004, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2004-013 establishing the BID. The BID <br />included a total of 380 businesses within the service area and was projected to generate $135,000 <br />in revenue. The 2004-OS BID assessment was set at a base fee of $25, plus $10.56 per employee. <br />Businesses with five or fewer employees and non-profits were exempt from the BID assessment. <br />During Fiscal Year 2004-05, the SUMO and the City continued to pursue all available grant <br />opportunities to support the shuttle program. The City was again successful in obtaining a grant <br />from the BAAQMD; and the SUMO, in partnership with the Davis Street Family Resource <br />Center (DSFRC), obtained a second two-year LIFT grant in the amount of $266,666. Since the <br />LIFT grant from MTC was provided to fund transportation for DSFRC clients, the SUMO <br />expanded the LINKS route in January 2005 to include the DSFRC, located on Teagarden Street. <br />The change in the service route to include DSFRC required the original BID to be re-formed to <br />include additional businesses that lie within one-quarter mile of the expanded service area. <br />The LINKS continued to see healthy ridership during Fiscal Year 2006-07 with total boardings <br />exceeding 209,690. Average monthly boardings for the Fiscal Year 2006-07 was 17,474 with a <br />high of 19,735 in October of 2006. The specific impact of the route change to include the <br />DSFRC continues to be seen in the dramatic and continued increase of average monthly <br />ridership. Average ridership from January 2004 to January 2005 (the inception date of the route <br />change to include DSFCRC) increased 27% to 11,890 total boardings for January 2005, then <br />increased another 24% from January 2005 to January 2006 for a total of 14,782 total boardings, <br />and then increased another 22% to reach 18,096 total boardings in January 2007 (See Figure 1). <br />A full ridership report, from the inception of the shuttle through September 2007, is included as <br />Exhibit A to this report. <br />_ _ _. _ _ <br />3~Page <br />
