RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the City Council accept the non-professional service agreement of $1,499,400 for Common Vision to implement the CALFire grant work for street tree planting and maintenance, anticipated to take place from June 2022 to June 2026. BACKGROUND Expansion of San Leandro’s tree canopy was identified as an action item in the City’s 2021 Climate Action Plan as an adaption strategy for improving community-wide public health, safety, and wellbeing and increasing resilience of vulnerable populations against the hazards of extreme heat and flooding. In its greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory, the CAP also identifies street trees as an important resource for carbon sequestration. The proposed scope of work below under the CALFIRE grant outlines how this project will meet City of San Leandro’s goals. ANALYSIS The City will be partnering with Common Vision to implement three key components: organizing, planning, planting. The team will work with local community-based organizations such as Sierra Club, San Leandro 2050, Friends of San Leandro Creek, Unity in the Community, and Climate Reality Project to do outreach and volunteer recruitment. The outreach work will particularly focus on getting neighborhood buy-in on trees through 1:1 conversations during community canvassing. Common Vision staff will also work with youth volunteers from the San Leandro High School Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 7/13/2022
