RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution accepting reimbursement in the amount of $2,575.20 from Caltrain for costs related to the Karyl Matsumoto Plaza ribbon cutting and Caltrain Electrified Service Launch Party events.
Body
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On September 21, 2024, the City Council held a ribbon cutting event for the Karyl Matsumoto Plaza, located at the South San Francisco Caltrain station. The event also jointly celebrated Caltrain’s Electrified Service Launch Party, in which events were held at every station, from San Francisco to San Jose. Caltrain generously reimbursed each location for costs incurred. Costs for the City’s event included live music, baked goods, coffee, and chair and table rental.
FISCAL IMPACT
With the reimbursement of $2,575.20 from Caltrain for the Karyl Matsumoto Plaza ribbon cutting and Caltrain Electrification Service Launch Party events, there is no impact to the General Fund.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
The Karyl Matsumoto Plaza ribbon cutting and Caltrain Electrification Service Launch Party events are aligned with Strategic Priority No. 6 - Community Connections, as the events afforded the South San Francisco the opportunity for a community/civic event to celebrate the opening of a new public facility and Caltrain’s significant step forward into the future of public transportation.
CONCLUSION
Adoption of the resolution accepting the generous reimbursement from Caltrain provides relief for the City’s General Fund and promotes ongoing collaboration with the City’s partner agencies for community events.
