| Our city could offer developers and businesses some incentives to move-in |
San Leandro -- "An East Bay city built around manufacturing is offering a unique incentive to gain modern business. The city of San Leandro has announced it will be waiving business license fees for all of 2014.
.... Leandro’s Mayor Stephen Cassidy was eager to accommodate. .... To lure new companies to the city, it is waiving the business license fee for 2014 and started doing so back in September. .... “We’ve had over 135 businesses come into San Leandro since we started the program,” said Cassidy.
.... However, the city is taking an initial hit. So far more than $38,000 dollars is forgone because of the licensing holiday, but Mayor Cassidy says the program will pay-off." “There’s a tremendous amount of venture capital that’s flowing into San Francisco, into Silicon Valley, and we’re trying to siphon some of it off to come here,” said Cassidy."

Lennie, promised to simplify the permit process, and create a fast track permit system for smaller repairs.
Nothing came of this.
Just like everything in Pacifica.
All talk and smoke and mirrors.
Lennie is probably as surprised as you that he can't just snap his fingers and make it happen. It's a rude awakening for our elected officials when they are faced with the reality of laws and safeguards. Ruder for some than for others.
