The City strives to balance maximizing cost recovery with manageable <br />fees to facilitate economic investment in San Leandro, ensure programs and services are <br />accessible to the community as well to incentivize compliance with regulatory requirements. <br />In 2021, the City convened an Advisory Budget Task Force to develop an understanding of the <br />City’s financial outlook. Building on this initiative, the City Council authorized the City Manager to <br />contract with NBS Government Finance Group to prepare a User Fee Study that was completed <br />in 2024. The FY 2025-2026 Recommended Fee Schedule incorporates these results. <br />A Development Impact Fee Study is underway and expected to be completed summer 2025. <br />Business License Fees, Emergency Medical Services Tax, and Emergency Communications <br />System Access Tax <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 9/4/2025
