2 OVERVIEW On June 1, 2015, the San Leandro City Council adopted the Biennial Budget for fiscal years and The biennial budget reflects the vision and goals of the City Council, established on January 31, 2015, and is the product of a focused and successful effort to meet the challenges of increasing costs while responding to the community s service needs. Council directed staff to focus on a sustainable budget that lives within the City s available revenue, so future budgets may also be balanced, while maintaining existing service levels. The and biennial budget highlights include the following: 3 additional police officers A new fire engine and a new fire ladder truck $3 million new dollars for neighborhood streets and maintenance of right of way Library and Casa Peralta improvements $674,000 new additional money to meet and exceed the annual required contributions for post-employment benefits. The new sales tax revenue from voter approved Measure HH (sales and use transaction tax) and Measure BB (Alameda County streets, roads and transportation improvements) are critical to maintaining existing service levels. The City s forecasts indicate that we will likely face budget challenges in future years, especially if City revenues do not improve beyond the conservative projections. However, planning will begin now so City Council may make informed choices as we strive toward a sustainable City budget.
