City of San Leandro <br />Meeting Date: September 8, 2020 <br />Staff Report <br />Agenda Section:File Number:20-369 CONSENT CALENDAR <br />Agenda Number:8.G. <br />TO:City Council <br />FROM:Jeff Kay <br />City Manager <br />BY:Debbie Pollart <br />Public Works Director <br />FINANCE REVIEW:Susan Hsieh <br />Finance Director <br />TITLE:Staff Report for a City of San Leandro City Council Resolution to Accept an <br />$8,700 grant from the American Association of Retired People for a Virtual <br />Design Charrette of a Proposed Community Garden by Bancroft Middle School <br />and Appropriation Approval of Grant Funds to Account 150-18-102-5890 <br />SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br />Staff recommends the City Council accept grant funds in the amount of $8,700 from the American <br />Association of Retired People (AARP) for a virtual design charrette, anticipated to take place in <br />fall 2020 for a proposed community garden by Bancroft Middle School. Staff also recommends <br />City Council approval of appropriating grant funds to operating expenditure account <br />150-18-102-5890. The grant is effective August 20, 2020 to December 18, 2020. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS <br /> <br />In August of this year, the American Association of Retired People (AARP) awarded a grant of <br />$8,700 for the above-referenced project. The design charrette is proposed in partnership with the <br />San Leandro Unified School District, Friends of San Leandro Creek, Sonora Te Land Trust, <br />StopWaste, and the David R. Brower - Ronald V. Dellums Institute for Sustainable Policy Studies <br />and Action. Situated at the north end of Bancroft Middle School with access to the San Leandro <br />Creek, the San Leandro Unified School District-owned property is part of the East Bay Greenway <br />and is an opportunity to create outdoor education and public access. <br />The design charrette will bring together intergenerational teams of students, teachers, residents, <br />elders, and community groups to generate ideas for the proposed garden and educational lab <br />space. Long-term project benefits include improved accessibility and hands-on experiences for <br />students and community members to engage in watershed ecology, gardening, and indigenous <br />history; greater access to urban agriculture and local food production; and community-driven <br />planning and decision making. <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 9/2/2020 <br />2357
