IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LEANDRO RESOLUTION NO. 2025-071 RESOLUTION TO APPROVE TRANSFER AND APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS FROM PREVIOUSLY BUDGETED AMOUNTS FOR CITY HALL ACCESS CONTROL ENHANCEMENTS AND CITY HALL WORKSPACE RENOVATION WHEREAS, since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the main public entrance to City Hall has remained closed, and internal office doors throughout City Hall have been manually locked to enhance safety for employees and visitors; and WHEREAS, while necessary, these temporary measures have not provided a long-term or operationally efficient solution that secures City Hall while also allowing efficient internal movement within City Hall by City Staff; and WHEREAS, adoption of this Resolution for a proposed budget appropriation in FY 2024-2025 will allow the Public Works Department and IT Department to commence planning and design, with a potential carry-over into FY 2025-2026 for construction; and WHEREAS, concurrent with the access control system planning and upgrade project, the San Leandro Unified School District’s move from its current leased premises on the second floor of City Hall to a new building allows for the City Manager to execute an administrative realignment by renovating offices and work-stations into the vacated space, so that that work is consistent with the City Hall access control system planning and upgrades project; and WHEREAS, to commence the planning and design work for the access control system upgrade and renovation of the vacated space immediately because of SLUSD’s imminent exit from City Hall, the City Manager recommends that the City Council approve the transfer of and appropriate funds toward these projects; and WHEREAS, to consistent with the Municipal Code’s requirements, if this Resolution is approved the City Manager will return to the Council with contracts for these projects that require Council approval. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of San Leandro does RESOLVE as follows: That a transfer and appropriation of $505,750 is made from previously budgeted amounts in the General Fund to the General Capital Fund (Fund 210) for these projects; and That the City Manager is authorized to take all actions and execute all documents necessary to effect the purpose and intent of this Resolution; and That consistent with the Municipal Code, the City Manager shall present contracts for these projects to the City Council for its review and approval.
