Body
WHEREAS, on July 14, 2021, City Council approved Resolution 140-2021 approving the creation of South San Francisco’s Guaranteed Income Pilot Program and approving budget amendment number 22.011 appropriating $1,000,000 in American Rescue Plan Act funds to provide $500 per month for one year for approximately 160 low income South San Francisco residents; and
WHEREAS, the July 14th staff report outlined YMCA’s role as the intended Pilot Program administrator; and
WHEREAS, as the program administrator, YMCA will outreach to the community, receive applications, prioritize applicants, hold lotteries, enroll selected applicants, and provide case management throughout the Pilot Program; and
WHEREAS, as the program administrator, the YMCA will also contract with Community Financial Resources (CFR) to be the fiscal administrator for the program. CFR will dispense the funds monthly to participating South San Francisco residents via a Focus Debit Card or Self Help Credit Union Savings Account Card; and
WHEREAS, the Professional Services Agreement with the YMCA, included as an Exhibit A to this resolution, sets out the scope of work the YMCA will complete over the term of the agreement - from its execution to 18 months after the Pilot Program concludes - as well as their compensation schedule; and
WHEREAS, the resolution appropriates $200,000 in General Fund dollars for program administration, all of which will be offset by grants the City expects from the Silicon Valley Community Foundation and the County of San Mateo in the coming months.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of South San Francisco that the City Council hereby:
1) Authorizes the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with the YMCA for the administration of the Guaranteed Income Pilot Program in the amount of $1,200,000 in substantially the form included as Exhibit A, including any minor amendments to carry out the intent of this resolution that do not substantially incrase the City’s obligation, and as approved as to form by the City Attorney; and
2) Approves Budget Amendment Number 22.015 appropriating $200,000 for additional Pilot Program-related expenses.
