July 15, 2024 - City Council Meeting

The City Council of San Leandro held a meeting on July 15, 2024, with significant focus on procurement and budget-related matters. Key procurement discussions included the approval of a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system contract with Workday and implementation partners Cognizant, Robert Half, and Teller, aimed at modernizing city operations with an initial budget appropriation of $1.4 million. The council also approved multiple solid waste, recycling, and organics service contracts with ACI and Waste Management, featuring enhanced services and a 4.9% rate increase effective February 2025. Additionally, the council reviewed the results of a stormwater fee ballot measure, which failed to pass, and discussed the financial implications for ongoing and future capital improvement projects. Another notable item was the authorization of a pilot mental health response unit in partnership with Alameda County Fire, funded primarily through American Rescue Plan Act funds, to provide specialized behavioral health crisis intervention. The council also addressed procedural matters related to agenda item referrals and scheduled a future informational presentation on Lake Chabot Road. Motions related to contract approvals and budget allocations were passed unanimously or with minimal dissent, reflecting a focus on fiscal responsibility and community service enhancements.
