File Number: 18-292 Affairs has also assisted the Mayor, City Council and City staff in actively advocating with state officials on matters related to San Leandro Hospital. More recently, they have also been of great assistance to the City in fostering dialogue with the California State Department of Transportation to identify ways of ensuring that East 14th Street can be re-paved as soon as possible. Mr. De Luca has also been actively involved in state efforts to regulate the emerging cannabis industry and he has ensured that San Leandro’s interests are addressed as related statewide legislation and regulations are developed. He has also closely monitored and proactively kept City officials and staff apprised of various other legislative efforts that could substantively impact San Leandro. Examples of related policy issues include legislation to support development of new affordable housing, efforts to preempt local land use authority, and address homelessness. Based upon these factors, the City Manager recommends that the City Council authorize him to execute an extension of the existing consulting services agreement with Townsend Public Affairs, at the same rate of $5,000 per month ($60,000 annually). Staff recommends an extension through June 30, 2019 to align the new contract with the fiscal year. Sufficient funds for the proposed contract extension have already been programmed into the adopted FY 2017-19 budget. Fiscal Impacts The proposed agreement with Townsend Public Affairs will not exceed $60,000 for one year of services. Budget Authority Sufficient funds are programmed into the adopted FY 17-19 budget to accommodate the proposed contract extension.
