City of San Leandro <br />City Council <br />Meeting Date: November 6, 2023 <br />Agenda Number: 13.c. <br />Agenda Section: ACTION ITEMS <br />File Number: 23-522 <br />File Type: Staff Report <br />City of San Leandro City Council Resolution Declaring a State of Emergency on Homelessness in San <br />Leandro <br />SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br />Per the urgent referral authorized by a majority vote of the City Council at the October 16, 2023 <br />regular City Council meeting, staff presents the attached resolution that would declare a local <br />state of emergency related to homelessness within the City of San Leandro. Staff does not <br />recommend adoption of the resolution for the reasons outlined below. <br />BACKGROUND <br />On September 19, 2023, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors approved a countywide state <br />of emergency related to homelessness in the East Bay. The order directs County staff at the <br />Alameda County Office of Homeless Care and Coordination to develop an emergency response <br />plan, including determining how much funding is needed to significantly decrease homelessness <br />and where to direct those resources. County Supervisors indicated that their hope is to fast-track <br />funding and bypass certain regulations that may be impeding efforts to address homelessness. <br />However, the specific details related to what the adopted Resolution means for local public <br />agencies have largely not yet been determined. The adopted County Resolution also included a <br />60-day timeline for County staff to report back to the Board of Supervisors with a more clearly <br />developed plan, which is still in process. <br />City of San Leandro staff have been actively monitoring this issue in partnership with their <br />counterparts at the County of Alameda, and are awaiting additional details and/or guidance, <br />consistent with the Board of Supervisors’ direction. City staff have provided feedback to the <br />County on the draft emergency plan, including recommendations to expand usage of County land, <br />County-funded Safe Parking programs, shelters and navigation centers, increased transparency <br />around City specific outcomes, and dedicated funding for City-run programs. <br />At the October 16, 2023 regular City Council meeting, Council Member Aguilar made a request, <br />which was affirmed by a majority vote of the City Council, for staff to bring forward as an urgency <br />item a resolution that would also declare a local state of emergency related to homelessness in <br />San Leandro. However, staff’s recommendation is that it is presently premature to adopt such a <br />resolution at the local level since the City of San Leandro, like most other cities throughout <br />Alameda County, continues to await further details on the Countywide state of emergency from <br />Alameda County. Furthermore, given the extraordinarily short window of time that was authorized <br />by the City Council to develop such a local resolution, City staff have not had sufficient time to fully <br />analyze the issue and/or evaluate the complete ramifications of adopting a local state of <br />emergency when the full details of the Countywide state of emergency are still being formulated. <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 11/1/2023
