Consolidated Plan SAN LEANDRO 26 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) NA-50 Non-Housing Community Development Needs - 91.415, 91.215 (f) Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Facilities: The City of San Leandro owns a number of different types of facilities including parks and recreation centers, aquatic centers, public libraries, fire stations, a museum, and the San Leandro Senior Center. All of these community assets provide access to improve the population’s physical health, resources for information, and displays of local history. They are all important and critical public resources. Additionally, there are a number of public-serving facilities owned and operated by non-profit agencies including child care and child development centers, youth centers, domestic violence shelters, homeless shelters, and facilities and housing that serve the special needs population. Both public and non-profit public facilities are well-used and in high demand among the City’s residents. A selection of Public Facility needs identified include: • City facility infrastructure resilience and accessibility improvements, • Maintenance and expansion of City recreational facilities (e.g.: adult recreational facilities and youth sports fields such as basketball courts, baseball fields, football fields), • Homeless shelters, • Graffiti abatement. Lastly, the City must dedicate CDBG funds for annually (until FY 2029-2030) repaying the City's $2.5 million HUD Section 108 loan in accordance to HUD's 20-year repayment schedule. How were these needs determined? The needs for public facilities have been determined in the following ways: 1) studies and ongoing stewardship of public facilities by City staff, 2) by comments on public facility needs and priorities noted by the members of the City Council and the Mayor, and 3) by responses to the Community Development Department’s Priority Needs Survey conducted to gather input for the FY 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. The City of San Leandro’s Engineering and Transportation Department-Project Development Division provides engineering services in support of various public facilities and provides engineering related services to staff in all City departments. The division implements the City’s Capital Improvement Program, which includes contract development, project oversight, and design services for capital projects within the City. This division maintains a prioritization list for capital improvements of City facilities that is reviewed and funded incrementally through the annual budget process approved by City Council. 264
