File Number: 19-611 4. Grants - Aggressively seek grant and other funding opportunities. The Board will continue to work with the City of San Leandro and Alameda County Transportation Commission to secure critical funding. 5. Revenue Diversification - Continue to diversify revenue sources by maintaining current contract with Marina Square (advertising) and seek other revenue generating opportunities. 6. Outreach - Outreach to employers and employees to educate and promote LINKS ridership. 2019 BID Recommendation Proactive measures taken to generate new revenue and secure grants have helped to stabilize funding for LINKS. The cash flow gap resulting from the grant reimbursement process will continue to pose a challenge for LINKS. Measure BB & TFCA grants have further stabilized LINKS funding, but the grants must be reauthorized every two years. Transportation costs have increased with the new contract. Per the approved Ordinance, the BID may be increased annually by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The applicable CPI factor is 3.5 percent. This would result in the BID per employee rate increasing from $23.85 to $24.68. Businesses with three or fewer owner/employees, landlords, and non-profits will continue to be exempt from the BID assessment. After reviewing the Annual Report, the BID Advisory Board approved the 2019-20 Annual Report and Planned Operations and recommended that the 2020 BID rate be adjusted by the applicable Consumer Price Index (CPI).
