File Number: 16-655 <br />October). This would result in the BID per employee rate increasing from $21.55 to $22.20. <br />Businesses with three or fewer owner/employees, landlords, and non-profits will continue to be <br />exempt from the BID assessment. <br />After reviewing the Annual Report, the BID Advisory Board made the following recommendations: <br />1. BID Rate - Increase the BID per owner/employee assessment rate equal to the <br />Consumer Price Index (CPI) in 2016-17 as provided in Ordinance No. 2014-023. For <br />2016-17 the applicable CPI factor is 3 percent. Businesses with three or fewer <br />owner/employees, landlords, and non-profits will continue to be exempt from the BID <br />assessment. <br />2. LINKS Service - Continue to work with the transportation provider to maintain on-time <br />performance and enhance the LINKS rider experience. <br />3. Outreach - Outreach to employers and employees to educate and promote LINKS <br />ridership. <br />4. Revenue Diversification - Continue to diversify revenue sources by maintaining current <br />contracts with Kaiser Permanente (shuttle service) and Marina Square (advertising) and <br />seek other revenue generating opportunities. <br />5. Grants - Aggressively seek grant and other funding opportunities. The SLTMO applied for <br />a five-year, $1.7 million Measure BB grant that would stabilize funding and allow <br />technology improvements. The Board will continue to work with the City of San Leandro <br />and Alameda County Transportation Commission to secure this critical funding. <br />6. Shuttle Stops at BART - BART works with stakeholders to develop BART Curb Use <br />Guidelines determining how shuttle stops and curb space will be allocated. The SLTMO <br />will participate in this process to ensure that the LINKS and Kaiser Shuttles secure <br />suitable curb assignments. <br />7. Shuttle Improvements - As funding becomes available, the SLTMO commits to installing <br />GPS based tracking to provide real time bus location information for riders. <br />Current Agency Policies <br />·Ordinance No. 2004-013, adopted June 21, 2004, amended Title 2 of the San Leandro <br />Municipal Code to add a new Chapter 15 establishing the West San Leandro Business <br />Improvement District <br />·Resolution No. 2004-153, adopted October 4, 2004, formed the West San Leandro <br />Shuttle Business Improvement District Advisory Board <br />·Ordinance No. 2004-021, adopted October 18, 2004, specified the time and manner of <br />collecting the West San Leandro Shuttle BID assessments <br />·Resolution No. 2008-130, adopted October 20, 2008, amended Resolution No. 2004- <br />153, modifying the membership of the West San Leandro Shuttle Business <br />Improvement District Advisory Board <br />·Resolution No. 2009-014, adopted February 2, 2009, approved a Resolution of Intention <br />to re-form the West San Leandro Shuttle Business Improvement District <br />·Ordinance No. 2009-002, adopted April 6, 2009, amended Title 2 of the San Leandro <br />Municipal Code to add a new Chapter 15 re-establishing the West San Leandro <br />Business Improvement District <br />Page 4 City of San Leandro Printed on 11/29/2016
