The Engineering and Transportation Director and the City Engineer manage the Capital <br />Improvement Program (CIP) and have detailed knowledge of CIP projects that allows them to <br />determine when a project is likely to be competitive for grants, the amount of grant money <br />needed, and the amount of matching funds authorized by the City Council. <br />A universal authorization will allow staff to apply for funding for a period of three years from the <br />date of this action. A disaster specific authorization cannot be approved until after a disaster is <br />declared and therefore does not allow the City to apply for grant funding of projects that reduce or <br />mitigate the impact of natural disasters before they occur. The authorization will allow designated <br />City staff to submit a HGMP grant application for funding to reduce flooding risk for the Neptune <br />Drive Shoreline area. <br />Current Agency Policies <br />Maintain and enhance San Leandro’s infrastructure <br />Applicable General Plan Policies <br />Policy EH-1.7 Reducing Flood Hazards.
