MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: November 7, 2013 <br />TO: Local Inclusion Policy Working Group members <br />City Staff – with intent for forward to the San Leandro City Council <br />FROM: Surlene Grant, Group Moderator <br /> <br />RE: Local Inclusion Policy <br /> <br />The following is the “final” draft of Local Inclusion Policy being proposed to the City of San <br />Leandro City Council. <br />The foundational policy initially came about after several meetings among San Leandro <br />residents and business representatives. The subsequent result was a convening of the Local <br />Inclusion Policy Working Group. The Working Group met four times to refine the policy <br />suggestions. <br />On October 22, the Working Group held its final meeting resolve any remaining issues and <br />concerns that various group members may have had. The result is a consensus document <br />that is attached. As far as the Working Group is concerned, this version reflects the group’s <br />best thinking and is acceptable for forwarding to the City Council. Thus, the use of “final” is <br />in quotes, because the absolute final would result from the City Council deliberations and <br />actions. <br />The Working Group consisted of approximately 20 members representing various <br />stakeholders in San Leandro. Participation was totally voluntary. Some members of the <br />working group participated in every meeting, others attended based on schedules.
