MEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Pamela Ott, Economic Development Manager, introduced the Local Emergency Action Program (LEAP) to the community. Ms. Ott stated that the City has been working on creating a program to involve the business community on disaster preparedness efforts. A number of staff has been working on this and the timing is right for presenting it to the Council. The LEAP program is a free partnership program between the City of Pleasanton, the local businesses and non-profit organizations to ensure the continuity of business and service operations following an emergency or disaster. With the Katrina disaster and the FEMA response problems, the City wants a program in place to take care of its own community and the Tri-Valley. The LEAP mission is to strengthen the community emergency resources and to reinforce the business sector emergency preparedness to make sure that the community is prepared to assist the whole community, to facilitate the coordinated emergency responsiveness, to promote interim post event recovery to protect community financial stability, and to foster business-to-business communication and commerce in Pleasanton. Businesses can benefit from being a LEAP partner as certain benefits come with being a partner such as becoming a designated City of Pleasanton City Council Minutes 4 09/20/05
