Project Prioritization for Federal Funding 2 February 7, 2011 <br /> Regional Projects <br /> The following are regional projects that warrant consideration. <br /> East Bay Regional Communications System (regional effort between Alameda and Contra <br /> Costa Counties for expanded communications in the event of an emergency) - S500,000 (offset <br /> costs of compatible radios) requested; no previous allocation. <br /> East Bay Greenway Project (Twelve mile project passing through four jurisdictions, running <br /> along the BART elevated tracks, total project cost is $32 million; San Leandro's portion is $11 <br /> million) - S 11 million requested. <br /> Other Federal Funding Considerations <br /> COPS Grant Round 3 — It is unknown at this time if funding will be available, however, it is <br /> proposed that a Safe Schools /Intervention Program is created between the City, Alameda County <br /> and the two school districts. If it is determined that funding will be made available, and it is an <br /> applicable use, then more research will occur. <br /> Fiscal Impact <br /> The fiscal impact of these requests is unknown at this time. However, the projects identified <br /> would likely require some level of City funds as a match or to fill funding allocation shortfalls. <br /> Costs of attending the National League of Cities conference are included in the current City <br /> budget. <br /> CONCLUSION <br /> Staff recommends that the City Council review the list of projects and prioritize them for <br /> presentation to the City's congressional representatives for consideration in the federal FY 2012 <br /> budget. <br />
