During the past two years, the City has been in the process of developing and adopting the Housing Element of the San Leandro General Plan. The Council appointed a Housing Element advisory committee and many hearings and public meetings were held. The Housing Element compliments and updates the housing needs identification in the 2000-2005 Consolidated Plan and incorporates the fair share housing allocations from the California Department of Housing and Community Development. A public hearing was held on March 17, 2003, to consider the proposed 2003-04 Action Plan. The Plan was available for public comment for 30 days with copies at the public library and on the City's website. On April 21, 2003, the Council will adopt the final plan after considering all of the comments. As part of the Alameda County HOME Consortium, the proposed Plan is also provided for public comment and is considered at public hearings of the County Board of Supervisors. The following comments were received during the comment period. 1. At the first public hearing, CRIL (Community Resources for Independent Living) asked the City Council for funding to assist with the rehabilitation of their facilities. CRIL provided a copy of their proposal to the Council who considered the proposal as part of the final plan. 2. The City's Recreation Department requested additional funding for the Recreation Link program to assist additional youth with financial assistance for recreation program fees. The proposed projects have been adjusted to increase the funding for the Recreation Link program. 3. The City's Engineering Department requested funding for planning of Memorial Park in the 2002-03 program year in order to assure that the rehabilitation of the park could be completed by the end of 2003-04 program year. The Memorial Park project was adjusted to reduce the amount of money needed for the construction of the project and funding was added to a separate project to pay back the General Fund for a pre award loan for the design.
