' The San Leandro City Council received a status update on the city's Climate Action Plan (CAP) on Sept. 2 as staff described recent programs in energy, waste reduction, transportation and shoreline resilience.

Kimberly Anderson, the city's sustainability analyst in the new Environmental Services Division, said the division now houses sustainability, solid-waste, and stormwater programs and that staff will occupy retrofitted office space at the South Branch Library. \"A climate action plan provides a strategic roadmap to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, build resilience and promote equity,\" Anderson told council members.

Key updates and programs highlighted by staff:

- Electricity: After the 2021 CAP adoption, the city defaulted accounts to AVA Community Energy's 100% renewable option for residents and businesses; account holders may change their selection. AVA also plans a Solar Discount Program for income-eligible customers in April 2026 and launched an e-bike incentive program in July offering instant rebates of roughly $400 to $1,500 (with an added safety-equipment rebate for income-qualified buyers).

- Waste and recycling: New 10-year collection agreements with Alameda County Industries (ACI) and post-collection arrangements with Waste Management incorporate the state's Senate Bill 1383 requirements to divert organic material from landfills. City staff described a \"Trash Free San Leandro\" initiative to reduce single-use disposables and school-based recycling reengagement with partners including ACI and local districts.

- Textile and bulky-item programs: The city's new contract includes a textile-collection pickup twice a year (first week in June and first week in October) and enhanced mattress and bulky-item recycling options.

- Fleet and facilities: Public Works is in an initial phase of electrifying city light-duty vehicles and installing chargers; staff said medium- and heavy-duty fleet electrification is expected to proceed toward a 2035 timeline to align with California Air Resources Board (CARB) Advanced Clean Fleets goals. Staff said the city plans to pursue the state's Clean California community designation to qualify for grant opportunities.

- Sea-level rise and resilience: The California Ocean Protection Council provided a California Resilience Challenge grant to study sea-level-rise impacts and adaptation options; staff said additional grant-funded work is planned and that the city's resilience network of neighborhood \"hubs\" continues expanding.

Council members' questions covered metrics and implementation. Council member Ignacio Aguilar praised the work and asked staff to continue advancing transit connections and tree planting. Council member Bolt noted the reuse of refurbished office furnishings and asked to connect urban agriculture groups; staff said they were coordinating with Human Services and local partners. Vice Mayor Bowen and staff discussed the role of resilience hubs: staff said hubs are locally organized gathering places that receive training from city emergency-preparedness staff but generally are neighborhood-led and vary in structure.

Council members also pressed staff on how often greenhouse-gas inventories are updated. Anderson said the city follows a roughly 10-year schedule for full inventories; the next full inventory is expected as part of a full plan update targeted for 2031, with biannual status updates in the interim.

Why it matters: The CAP directs local measures that affect electricity sourcing, waste infrastructure, transportation choices and shoreline adaptation. Several programs announced or underway create grant and rebate opportunities for residents and businesses, and state laws (including SB 1383 and CARB regulations) shape local operations.

What happens next: Staff said they will continue biannual reporting and pursue grants and implementation of the items described. No council action was required or taken at the Sept. 2 presentation.

Ending: Staff said they would return with future CAP updates and added metrics showing progress will be included in upcoming reports.","City staff presented a biannual status update to the City Council on Sept. 2, summarizing steps on renewable electricity, waste agreements that implement Senate Bill 1383, resilience hubs and a fleet-electrification timeline targeting 2035.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6478443,"San Leandro residents press council for stronger rent-stabilization and mobile-home protections",5639,1185000,6824000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5708973-5a0c866ff30b80f84190c348f8f4bce9&start=1185&end=6824","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5708973-5a0c866ff30b80f84190c348f8f4bce9/thumbnail_1185000.jpg","/articles/6478443/San-Leandro/Alameda-County/California/San-Leandro-residents-press-council-for-stronger-rent-stabilization-and-mobile-home-protections","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6478443-0df67d6217ff11d3a0cc0041b8426ea7/orig.mp4?Expires=1773078607&Signature=dtt9j5zPS7Qmso6XE7o2N6ACrsS76Uib33uK4K-BQpDkesy~wGIZKScBy~OZYs~enqqWhmDgw8yUdtX80FfN0YDfeq15GqJTOw83I5h80ecq7SjhqNCkyfU2ittd-e-trUBROoySfD3hrz89VcJrqamD6leqeIMiithgmrF1NXTe-x4aK-JSeLf0-Cx6LWHJXZv5utsJwG51HSz14~5EJZFPZXRijmlmc-hWfEcsMYvGaQLnCqOC3dijbiJoZbYQcpD5h6~14fAEQQSRg30znx9J-hh01xkFsPQP4zwE5RyxMkbyrB6qpxky-N-ro1KMnGXvkhEJYGJw99gAvlNAig__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","SAN LEANDRO, Calif. ' At the San Leandro City Council meeting on Sept. 2, dozens of residents urged the council to adopt stronger rent-stabilization rules and to amend the city's mobile-home park ordinance to protect seniors and long-term homeowners from steep space-rent increases.

Speakers at the meeting described growing displacement pressure in mobile-home communities and asked the council to act sooner rather than later. \"I own my mobile home; at the end of this year I'm going to be homeless,\" said Chris Beebe, a senior and disabled resident who said she has owned her mobile home for 25 years. \"I don't have the money to pay the space rent. Please do something.\"

The requests ranged from a firm cap on annual rent increases (several speakers asked that increases be capped at 3 percent) to limits on owners passing capital-repair costs onto homeowners. Mission Bay and other manufactured-home park residents urged the council to update a mobile-home ordinance they said has enabled large rent hikes and liens that could reduce homeowners'ability to sell.

\"Please pass this rent stabilization ordinance and help our community thrive,\" said Carol Habercross, a renter who called for predictability and budgeting stability for tenants. Cheryl Knowden, representing Mission Bay residents, said the city had circulated a revised mobile-home ordinance the same morning and urged council priority on its approval.

Also during the public-comment period, speakers from the League of San Leandro Voters presented a string of ethics and misconduct allegations involving three named council members. \"This is the case of the people versus Council Members Azevedo, Aguilar and Simon,\" said Celine Schafer, speaking on behalf of the League, and she cited independent investigations, prior censures and, in one speaker's words, a federal investigation tied to one council member. Other League speakers asked the implicated members to disclose ties and to acknowledge harms; they explicitly framed those remarks as public-comment allegations rather than council findings.

Council members did not take formal action on rent stabilization or the mobile-home ordinance during the meeting. The item remained in the public-comment phase; no vote on an ordinance was recorded that evening.

Why it matters: Speakers said immediate action is needed to prevent displacement of seniors, disabled residents and low-income households; mobile-home residents argued space-rent hikes and capital-assessment loan liens threaten long-term affordability and property equity.

What council heard: Testimony included personal accounts of threatened eviction, rapid rent increases and alleged improper owner practices, plus calls for a strong, enforceable rent-stabilization ordinance that would include clear limits on annual rent adjustments and stricter rules on passing capital costs to homeowners.

What the record shows: The council listened through an extended public-comment session; staff circulated a revised mobile-home ordinance to council that morning (speakers referenced the revised text) but no ordinance vote occurred that night. Several speakers asked the council to place the ordinance on a near-term agenda and to prioritize protections for mobile-home homeowners and tenants.

Outgoing notes: Advocates said they will continue collecting signatures, protesting and meeting with media and neighbors until the city adopts changes they consider adequate.","Dozens of residents and tenant advocates used the City Council's public-comment period on Sept. 2 to urge immediate action on a rent-stabilization ordinance and amendments to the mobile-home park ordinance, while members of the League of San Leandro Voters publicly accused three council members of misconduct.","actionData","errors"]
