SUBJECT
Title
Report on Actions Taken During City Council Recess from July 15, 2020 to August 14, 2020 [Council Pillar: Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure]
Report
BACKGROUND
On July 13, 2020, the City Council authorized the City Manager/Contract Administrator for Sports and Open Space Authority/Executive Director for Housing Authority to approve items vital to the function of the City during the Council recess period of July 15 - August 14, 2020 (Attachment 1). This was an effort to maintain project schedules, avoid delays or negative financial impacts associated with those delays and continue providing high levels of service to the community.
There was one item approved by the City Manager/Contract Administrator/Executive Director during the 2020 Council recess period.
DISCUSSION
The item approved by the City Manager/Contract Administrator/Executive Director or her designee between July 15, 2020 to August 14, 2020 is as follows:
1. Approved Amendment to MOU with Santa Clara Unified School District for Food Distribution to Extend Term from July 30 to August 7, 2020
The MOU with Santa Clara Unified School District (SCUSD) was originally executed with a term end date of July 30, 2020. This initial term was based on the USDA funding waiver for school districts where funding was available through July 30, 2020.
Subsequent to the execution of the original agreement, USDA granted an extension of the waiver to allow schools to continue the summer nutrition program until the beginning of the school year. SCUSD notified the City that classes would resume on August 17 but requested that the date of the final distribution of food be August 6 in order to allow for a smoother transition. To ensure a continuation of services, the parties agreed to extend the term of the agreement through August 7, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the City Manager’s Office and City Attorney’s Office.
