c REPOR T To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager Date of Meeting: July 24, 2000 Subject Execution of Agreement with the County of San Mateo for Fair Oaks Community Center Information and Referral Program services for fiscal year 2000-01 Recommendation Adopt the resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into the subject agreement with County of San Mateo for the provision of Information and Referral Services at the Fair Oaks Community Center. Background The City has contracted with the County of San Mateo to provide Information and Referral services at the Fair Oaks Community Center since 1978. The Center is one of seven (7) Core Service Center throughout the County funded to provide a focal point for residents seeking information on human service programs including referrals to emergency material assistance providers. The Fair Oaks Community Center's Information and Referral Program is staffed by Human Services Specialists and several volunteers. Together they respond to an average of 800 contacts per month ranging from requests for immediate shelter or food to assistance with completion of forms or housing assistance. We have seen an increase in case management type services needed. In general, we find ourselves dealing with families, who in spite of the booming economy, are not experiencing wage increases due to their lack of education and/or skills. This is especially difficult given the housing market and welfare reform. The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors has approved $55,172 for these services. Fiscal Impact The above revenue has been projected in the 2000-01 Parks, Recreation and Community Services budget. . _ � �.� . �, � : Corinne Centeno et r riffi s d Everett Superintendent, Parks, Recreation Director, a s, Recreation City Manager and Community Services and Com nity Services Attachment Agreement _ _ _ _ ,__. . _ �,_ �- __
