Proposed City Budget -Page 3 of 4 - June 2, 2008 The garage will be expanded to approximately 400 parking spaces in order to meet the parking needs of downtown businesses and the public. To the extent that bond funding is available, after funding these two projects, infrastructure improvements have been identified for East 14th street. These improvements include the undergrounding of utilities from the southern border of the City to Blossom Way and complementary pedestrian enhancements such as landscaping, medians and crosswalks. Accordingly, the proposed budget for 2008-09 contains funding for the senior center and the parking garage, but not for the East 14th Street infrastructure improvements. As noted above, Council has been provided with a copy of the City Manager's Proposed Budget 2008-09. This budget provides operating revenue and expenditure budget information for all City funds including the San Leandro Redevelopment Agency. The proposed budget also contains request for all capital projects for 2008-09. In addition, the proposed budget provides a Personnel Summary indicating requested full time equivalent (FTE) positions for 2008-09 for the City.
