underfunded. It is the City's priority to find additional funding to sustain these on -going programs over time. ♦ General plan safety element ♦ Capital Improvements Plan ♦ San Leandro Climate Action Plan ( http : / /www.sanleandro.org /depts /cd /plan /default.asp) The City has a Safety Element in its General Plan that includes a discussion of fire, earthquake, flooding, and landslide hazards. This Plan will adopted as an implementation appendix to the Safety Element following final review by FEMA. In addition, the City enforces the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which, since 1988, requires mitigation for identified natural hazards. The City has used these pre- existing programs as a basis for identifying gaps that may lead to disaster vulnerabilities in order to work on ways to address these risks through mitigation. Plan Update Process As required Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, the City of San Leandro will update this plan annex at least once every five years, by participating in a multi - agency effort with ABAG and other agencies to develop a multi jurisdictional plan. The City Manager's Office will ensure that monitoring of this Annex will occur. The plan will be monitored on an on -going basis. However, the major disasters affecting our city, legal changes, notices from ABAG as the lead agency in this process, and other triggers will be used. Finally, the Annex will be a discussion item on the agenda of the meeting of Department leaders at least once a year in April. At that meeting, the department heads will focus on evaluating the Annex in light of technological and political changes during the past year or other significant events. The Department leaders will be responsible for determining if the plan should be updated. The City is committed to reviewing and updating this plan annex at least once every five years, as required by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. The City Manager's Office will contact ABAG four years after this plan is approved to ensure that ABAG plans to undertake the plan update process. If so, the City again plans to participate in the multi jurisdictional plan. If ABAG is unwilling or unable to act as the lead agency in the multi jurisdictional effort, other agencies will be contacted, including the County's Office of Emergency Services. Counties should then work together to identify another regional forum for developing a multi - jurisdictional plan. The public will continue to be involved whenever the plan is updated and as appropriate during the monitoring and evaluation process. Prior to adoption of updates, the City will provide the opportunity for the public to comment on the updates. A public notice will be posted prior to the meeting to announce the comment period and meeting logistics.
