The proposed Agreement includes several events <br />and services - detailed below - and covers Fiscal Year 2016-17. <br />Analysis <br />With limited resources for economic development activities, the City of San Leandro is <br />constantly exploring opportunities to leverage resources in the private sector to advance <br />economic development goals and initiatives. With a membership of San Leandro businesses, <br />the Chamber of Commerce is particularly well-situated to assist with events and activities that <br />require outreach to the business community. The Agreement will be funded through an <br />existing General Fund appropriation. <br />Based on discussions between City staff and the Chamber, the parties have arrived at the <br />following scope of services for the proposed Agreement. <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 11/1/2016
