MINUTES Page 8 City of San Leandro City Council and San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting-December 17, 2007 would receive a refund if the shuttle service was discontinued. Mr. Jermanis noted that the BID assessment is billed in January and covers the 2007-08 fiscal year, and the Redevelopment Agency has already advanced the business's share of the BID from July-December 2007; therefore, there would be no need to make refunds to businesses. Councilmember Starosciak commented that Mr. Jermanis' suggestion to refer the discussion to the Facilities and Transportation Committee is a good one, as she and Councilmember Souza are both members of that committee. She clarified that it is not her intention to eliminate transportation for those who need it; rather, she is interested in finding the most effective funding mechanism for an excellent transportation program. Councilmember Starosciak stated that she feels the Council needs to set its expectations higher for the San Leandro Transportation Management Organization. Councilmember Starosciak made a substitute motion to accept the Annual Report and refer further discussion of the BID assessment to the Facilities and Transportation Committee. Furthermore, no increase in the BID assessment would be made, and any budget adjustment necessary to offset revenues not received through an increase in the BID assessment would be deducted from the budget contingency. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Stephens. • Minute Order No. 2007-082, Motion to Adopt the Resolution as Amended and Refer Further Discussion of the West San Leandro Shuttle BID Assessment to the City Council Facilities and Transportation Committee.
