Review of Downtown San Leandro 2008 Survey Results <br />Business Development Manager Battenberg informed the Committee that 438 individuals <br />took the Downtown San Leandro survey, which was available on the intereet between <br />September and December 2008.

A proposal from the Chamber of Commerce for these <br />additional business services is attached. <br />Battenberg explained that these additional services were not included in the current <br />Consulting Services Agreement between the Chamber and Agency and staff is <br />recommending approval of $12,500 in additional services in FY 2008-09 for the outreach and <br />networking required to create the industrial development program. <br />The Committee discussed the proposed Consulting Services Agreement and noted that many of <br />the programs budgeted in the current Consulting Services Agreement have not yet been <br />provided due to changes in leadership and will not be billed this fiscal year. <br />Recommendation: <br />The Committee recommends the Agency Executive Director amend the Consulting <br />Services Agreement, removing the programs that will not be completed this year and <br />adding the additional business assistance services, to increase the total contract by <br />X5,000. <br />4.
