Office of Senator DianneFeinstein Fiscal Year 2010 Appropriations Request Form Submit by Febntary 5, 6:OOPM Eastern Tune Requesting EntitX: City of San Leandro Requesting Individual: Mayor Tony Santos Priorit 2 of 3 requests Project Name: Public Safety Building Expansion Amount Requested: $3,000,000 Bill: A enc Account: Project Justification (4 sentences; 150 word limit): The communication center of the San Leandro Police Department must be expanded to provide services to the citizens and police officers now and in the future. Expanding technology, workspace ergonomics, accessibility, and the increased staffing required to handle cellular 911 calls are a few of the critical reasons that a new communication center is badly needed. Currently, cellular 911 calls are received at a local Highway Patrol dispatch center before being re-routed to San Leandro. The City is seeking federal funding assistance to will construct a 1,050 square foot addition to the existing Public Safety Building for housing the communication center on the first floor, and add 1,050 square feet of floor space to the second floor for other police functions. Description of the Project (no limitj: The current Public Safety Building houses the City Police Dispatch and Communication Center. Constructed in the 1960's, the 460 square foot floor plan was originally designed for radio equipment, not the dual screen computer consoles and other communications equipment utilized by today's police dispatchers. The San Leandro Public Safety Building contains the communication center for the Police Department. Service demands, including the answering and processing of cellular 911 calls, require that the center accommodate additional dispatchers. New equipment, including seven work stations and the floor space to effectively use the equipment cannot be accommodated in the existing facility. Due to communication center's 24/7 responsibilities, expanding the existing space in place is not a viable alternative. The City is seeking federal funding assistance to construct a new communication center as an expansion of the existing building away from the current center. The improvements would include construction of a 1,050 square foot expansion on the ground floor for use as the communication center with the required heating and air conditioning and electrical upgrades to serve the new equipment. The additional second floor space will provide needed space to the Investigation Section. Follow enclosed Instructions. Include Additional Information required for Defense Requests U. S.
