Mr.Nelson Fialho/Dr.David Haglund Page 2 Preliminary Issues Assessment of Potential Colocation of Maintenance Facilities question can be fully answered.Working together with the City, the School District also has the potential of acquiring land through the East Pleasanton Specific Plan process to address future needs. In addition to a new school site,options exist for acreage to accommodate maintenance operations adjacent to the City's Operations Services Center.This strategy would also create more collaborations and efficiencies, and fewer redundancies for the two agencies due to their proximity to one another(e.g. meeting space, fueling stations, storage, etc.). 2. Are shared services between the City and District feasible with co-located maintenance facilities? Summary answer:The focus of this study was shared capital facilities that enable maintenance operations to be co-located at the City's Operations Service Center(OSC) and/or in proximity to the OSC for the reasons stated above.However,both parties acknowledge that having maintenance functions nearby could eventually lead to shared services agreements to benefit the City and District in the future.This would have to be addressed separately and would necessitate meet and confer obligations with affected labor groups, as well as a study of financial impacts and policy considerations by both governing bodies. 3. What future needs may the City have as a result of growth and build out? Summary answer:Population is expected to grow as the City reaches General Plan build out. Beyond buildout,new State housing mandates may impact previous assumptions regarding the City's anticipated maintenance responsibilities which would necessitate the City's need to preserve currently unoccupied space at the OSC. The same impacts apply to the School District regarding their ideal operational needs through build-out and beyond. Such growth will come with maintenance requirements which will likely mean adding staff and equipment.This is an important factor to be considered by the City in releasing property at the Operations Services Center, and/or considering newly acquired property in East Pleasanton in proximity to the OSC. Both considerations are noted in the report below. 4. Would having the District's maintenance facilities in close proximity near the City's Operations Services Center be better than onsite integration with the City? Summary answer:Yes;this was identified as the preferred option during the discussions and would need further study. It would also require the cooperation from East Pleasanton property owners(Lionstone or Kiewit) through an approved Specific Plan process.The concept discussed was for the District maintenance facilities to be located on vacant property adjacent or across from the Operations Services Center which might create opportunities for some shared capital facilities in the near term and potential shared services arrangements in the long-term.
