Agency staff recommends continued support of the Chamber of Commerce's business assistance <br />efforts in FY 2010-11. In total, the Agency is proposing up to $43,600 in support for the <br />following programs. <br />• Industrial Programs $2,500/month <br />• Chamber Community Portal Website $6,000 <br />• San Leandro by Design/Economic Forum $2,500/event <br />• Small Business Classes $1,000 <br />• Community Fair $1,000 <br />• Chamber Membership & Public Service Announcements $ 600 <br />The attached Chamber of Commerce Scope of Services (Exhibit A) provides details on the <br />business assistance programs proposed for FY 2010-1 1. Staff recommends the Chamber <br />continue to produce quarterly reports to be forwarded to the City Council through the Business & <br />Housing Development Committee. <br />Given the possibility of future State raids of Agency funds along with decreases in assessed <br />property values, funding assistance to the Chamber at this level may not be possible in the future. <br />For FY 2010-11, however, staff recommends that the Business and Housing Development <br />Committee direct the Executive Director of the Redevelopment Agency to enter into a <br />Consulting Services Agreement with the San Leandro Chamber of Commerce for up to $43,600 <br />to assist them in implementing assistance programs that serve the business community. <br />G:\OBD\Files EDA\Chamber of Commerce\2010-11\Support BH&D 6-11-10.dOCX <br />
