File Number: 16-040 <br />This project has awakened interest among San Leandrans to refresh banners in additional <br />locations, and while no funds are being requested at this time, staff will be requesting an <br />additional $50,000 be considered for approval as part of the proposed Fiscal Year 2016-17 <br />budget. If approved, this funding would result in the creation of additional designs and <br />replacement of existing banners that were installed a number of years ago, including on <br />MacArthur Boulevard, Bancroft Avenue, San Leandro Boulevard, Wicks Boulevard, and <br />Hesperian Boulevard. The existing banners on Bancroft Avenue were installed in 2003, while <br />Ghirardelli installed 150th Anniversary banners on San Leandro Blvd in 2012, and the <br />remaining banners were installed in the 1990s. All of these banners could be replaced if the <br />requested funding is approved. <br />The requested appropriation could also facilitate approximately 40 new banners in locations <br />throughout the City that currently have no banners installed. Although a location has not been <br />finalized for new banner installations, staff will prioritize commercial districts that were not <br />included in past City banner programs. Installing banners in new locations is considerably <br />more expensive than refreshing existing banners because it requires the purchase and <br />installation of new banner hardware on City light poles. <br />Proposed Budget for Phase II of the Banner Project <br />LOCATION # BANNERS COST LOCATION RANGE <br />San Leandro Blvd 19 $ 3,750 Williams to Washington <br />Boys & Girls Club 8 $ 1,550 <br />Wicks Blvd 8 $ 1,550 Manor to Burkhart <br />MacArthur Blvd (1)23 $ 4,450 Estudillo to Dutton <br />MacArthur Blvd (2)21 $ 4,100 Durant to Superior <br />Bancroft Ave.48 $ 9,200 Durant to Oakes <br />New Locations 48 $18,400 TBD <br />Design & Contingency $ 7,000 <br />TOTAL 175 $50,000 <br />It should be noted that this proposed project does not include the “Downtown San Leandro” <br />small burgundy trapezoid banners that are currently displayed in various locations throughout <br />downtown. The San Leandro Improvement Association (SLIA) may upgrade these banners in <br />the coming years. <br />Budget Authority <br />Sufficient funds have already been programmed into the adopted FY 15-16 budget to <br />accommodate the current phase of the project. Staff will be requesting additional funds in the <br />proposed FY 2016-17 Budget that will be considered by the City Council later this year. <br />ATTACHMENT <br />None. <br />PREPARED BY: Lars Halle, Development Coordinator, Community Development <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 2/10/2016
