Message from BART - Project Update - San Leandro Station/Bayfair Station

Dear BART Neighbor,

BART is working to make critical system improvements as we continue to experience lower ridership and reduced hours of operation. This gives us the ability to do additional work on vital track and infrastructure projects in the off hours to enhance system reliability. In January, we began work on two important projects in your area, the 34.5kV Power Cable Replacement and A-Line Fall Protection. Replacing cables will help to ensure trains have a reliable source of power. The A-Line Fall Protection work consists of the installation of wire rope for guardrails as a permanent fall protection system on the BART aerial structures. This critical work will replace nearly 50-year old track infrastructure and is made possible by utilizing voter-authorized, Measure RR funds.

Both projects began near the San Leandro BART Station and moved south toward the Bay Fair station. As the projects continue, the work will continue to move north toward the Oakland stations starting in mid-April 2021. Most of the work for A-Line Fall Protection will be during the night, while most of the work for 34.5kV Power Cable Replacement will occur during the day. The work will continue over the next year and a half.

Neighbors can expect lights at night, and the operation of construction equipment during this maintenance period. Once complete BART passengers should experience a smoother, safer, and more reliable system. For updates additional updates on BART projects please check the website at www.bart.gov/about/projects. If you have any other questions about the project, you may contact Aisha Brown (510) 874-7428 or email her at [email protected].

If you need language assistance services, please call BART’s Transit Information Center at (510) 465-2278.

City of San Leandro Announces City Manager Finalists

The San Leandro City Council has narrowed the search for the next City Manager to three exceptionally qualified candidates.

On Saturday, April 3, 2021, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., the City will hold a virtual Town Hall meeting with the three City Manager finalists. CPS HR Consulting, the City’s executive recruiting consultants, will facilitate the town hall meeting. Each finalist will introduce themselves and make a brief presentation on a predetermined topic. The finalists will then be asked questions from the public that were previously submitted in advance of the meeting.

As previously announced last week, the public may submit questions for the candidates online until March 31, and join the online event (Zoom Meeting Link: https://sanleandro-org.zoom.us/j/89869985031)

Submit questions: https://qtrial2019q4az1.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_ahgCOL1I5EBZzo2

Following the Town Hall, the public may also email feedback to CPS HR Consulting at [email protected], which will be communicated to the City Council for their consideration.

The City received 67 resumes from across the nation, which included candidates with a variety of relevant backgrounds. CPS HR Consulting screened and vetted numerous qualified candidates.

The City Council subsequently identified the strongest eight candidates, who were invited to advance for additional consideration. During the course of evaluations, three candidates withdrew for personal reasons or other professional opportunities. The City Council then spent significant time interviewing and evaluating the remaining candidates and advanced three candidates to participate in the final selection process.

The finalists are as follows: Sean Charpentier, Terrence R. Moore, and Fran Robustelli.

Sean Charpentier

Sean Charpentier has 20 years of experience in local government. His professional journey has focused on serving the public and building equitable, prosperous, and sustainable regions and cities. Mr. Charpentier is currently a Program Director with C/CAG, the City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County, where he oversees transportation planning and funding. Previous roles include Interim and Assistant City Manager in the City of East Palo Alto. He has a master’s degree in City and Regional Planning from UC Berkeley and an undergraduate degree in International Development from Clark University. Mr. Charpentier lives in San Francisco with his wife and two daughters.

Terrence R. Moore

Terrence R. Moore was appointed to the position of city manager of College Park, Georgia in March 2013, and served this community with honor for a total of eight years, making him the longest continuously tenured manager in the City’s history. Prior to the City of College Park, Mr. Moore served as City Manager of Morgantown, West Virginia; Las Cruces, New Mexico, and Sebastian, Florida. A native of Chicago, Illinois, Mr. Moore earned both undergraduate and graduate degrees in economics and public administration from the University of Illinois, as well as post-graduate certificates from the Florida Atlantic University Department of Urban and Regional Planning, and the University of Virginia Senior Executive Institute for Local Government Management. From 2010 to 2020, Mr. Moore served on the Board of Directors of The Alliance for Innovation, an international network of progressive governments and partners committed to transforming local government by accelerating the development and dissemination of innovations. He is an International City/County Management Association Credentialed Manager (ICMA-CM).

Fran Robustelli

Fran Robustelli has served in managerial and executive roles with special districts and city governments for the past 25 years. With previous specialization in human resources and organizational change management, Ms. Robustelli is also skilled in a wide range of other City service areas, including economic development, budget & risk management, and emergency services. Since December 2020, Ms. Robustelli has been the interim city manager for the City of San Leandro. Ms. Robustelli took charge of the city manager position amid the coronavirus pandemic, calls for police reform, budget shortfalls, and City Council leadership changes. The past several months has been one of the busiest times in her public sector career. However, Ms. Robustelli determines daily to meet the unpredictability and challenges with the traits of servant leadership, consensus building, and strategic communication.
