Staff recommends that $275,000 from the General <br />Fund be allocated to these projects for each budget year (total amount of $550,000 for the <br />2013-2015 budget). <br />BACKGROUND <br />At the March 25, 2013 City Council Work Session, four Capital Improvement Program (CIP) <br />projects were presented by staff. These projects are of critical importance and should be <br />considered for funding in the 2013-2015 budgets. Due to either the nature or location of these <br />four projects, they do not qualify for grant funds, and therefore, only qualify for General funds. <br />Analysis <br />The four projects considered high priority are described below: <br />Miscellaneous Engineering Studies ($50,000 per year) <br />To provide quick responses to a variety of issues without prior appropriated funds. These <br />funds would be used for situations where timing is critical and the City’s standard <br />appropriation schedule would be insufficient. <br /> <br />This project involves the use of in-house or outside services to: perform small engineering <br />studies, such as design studies and documents; complete grant applications; provide support <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 4/30/2013
