This process, coordinated by the City's Federal <br />Relations Representative Len Simon, may include meeting with various federal <br />representatives, including Members of Congress, their staff and/or federal agency <br />representatives with presentation of written material in support of the City's selected projects. <br />These efforts have proven successful with partially funded projects in recent years, including <br />the Senior Community Center, East 14th Street improvements, the Davis/880 Interchange and <br />the expansion of the Lit San Leandro fiber optic loop. <br />While it is not clear as to what funding may be available at the federal level in the coming <br />year, it is important to proceed with identifying beneficial projects to the City of San Leandro. <br />Staff has prepared the attached packet of five project requests: <br />• San Leandro Police Department - Extension of COPS Grant <br />• Urban Greenway and Creek Walk <br />• San Leandro: A Smart City Model <br />City of San Leandro Page 1 Printed on 12123/2013 <br />
