or not that the increase in fuel is reflected in the 2008-09 budget. According to Gilbert it was <br />included in the 2008-09 fuel budget which increased by 23%. Gilbert informed the committee <br />that ALCO Fire will be purchasing emissions friendly engines and becoming more "green" as <br />well as replacing a vehicle with a Tahoe Hybrid for additional fuel cost savings. Councilmember <br />Grant asked whether ALCO Fire was reimbursed when assisting with the wild fires. Gilbert <br />stated the county is reimbursed through FEMA and does not impact the City's budget. <br />Councilmember Gregory reviewed the statistics report and commended the department on the <br />level of service stating that they are consistent year to year. Gilbert stated that certain services <br />are consistent year to year, e.g. fire calls, however, as the number of senior citizens increase <br />medical services will rise. <br />4. Discussion Regarding legal Services Agreement -Meyers Nave <br />Jermanis advised the Committee that the Staff Report and Resolution authorizing an amendment <br />to the legal services agreement for the City and Redevelopment Agency had originally been <br />submitted for review at the City Council Work Session on July 14, 2008 however the session <br />was cancelled. Councilmember Grant commented on Meyers Nave's history and long standing <br />relationship with the City of San Leandro. She suggested that the Council be reminded that the <br />firm's founders -- Steve Meyers, Libby Silver and Mike Riback were in-house attorneys for the <br />City starting in 1979. In 1986, they formed Meyers Nave Riback Silver & Wilson (Meyers <br />Nave) law firm and continued serving as the City Attorney, by contract. San Leandro has <br />benefited from this relationship not only by the quality of legal service that has been provided by <br />Meyers Nave attorneys, but also from the firm's civic involvement and commitment to the City. <br />Mayor Santos agreed that the City receives excellent service at a very reasonable rate. Jermanis <br />agreed with both comments and stated that as part of the retainer, City Attorney Williams <br />participates in management issues and does not charge extra to attend meetings. <br />City Attorney Williams advised the Committee that Assistant City Attorney Stephanie Stuart <br />would be leaving the City for a position with the City of San Francisco's District Attorney <br />Office, and introduced Richard Pio Roda as the new Assistant City Attorney. <br />Committee Recommendation <br />The Finance Committee recommended forwarding to the Council for approval. <br />5. Discussion Regarding Davis Street Family Resource Center Request for Financial <br />Assistance to Acquire Property <br />Jermanis informed the Committee that Rose Padilla Johnson, Executive Director of Davis Street <br />Family Resource Center (DSFRC) has approached the City to invest in the purchase of the <br />facility including land they are currently utilizing. The cost to rent the facility is diminishing any <br />funds DSFRC has. The cost of the Family Resource Center at Teagarden is $2.5 million for a <br />22,257 square foot facility. DSFRC needs to raise $3.5 million to create a restricted building <br />fund and cover the cost of internal improvements. DSFRC will run a campaign to raise $2.0 <br />million of the $3.5 million needed and ask the City to invest $1.5 million. Jermanis stated that <br />the City could use CDBG funds to invest. Mayor Santos expressed his concern in pulling funds <br />from CDBG as we have already used funds for the Senior Center. He also stated that the may <br />mean taking money away from other organizations, e.g. Girls Inc. Jermanis assured the <br />Committee that this would not reduce the City's obligation to Human Services and the intent is <br />not to hurt other organizations. Mayor Santos reminded the Committee that Girls, Inc. also is in <br />3 <br />
