REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Title
First Amendment to Agreement Between City of Sunnyvale and Sunnyvale School District for the Operation of Columbia Neighborhood Center at the Columbia Middle School Site
Report
BACKGROUND
In December 2006, the City of Sunnyvale and the Sunnyvale School District renewed an agreement for operation of the Columbia Neighborhood Center (CNC) at the Columbia Middle School site. The agreement generally provides for the administration, supervision, and operation of a neighborhood service center at the Columbia Middle School, and funding related thereto, through the participation of the City, District, and public and private providers of social services within the City of Sunnyvale and County of Santa Clara. The CNC Joint Task Force serves as CNC's governance and oversight board, and includes representation by the Sunnyvale School District Superintendent, one Assistant City Manager, the Director of Library and Community Services, the Director of the Department of Public Safety and departmental staff.
As another strengthening effort of collaboration, the City Council and District Board, through their respective budgets, approved a two-year pilot project to hire a dedicated grant writer to generate additional resources for programming at CNC and north District school sites. This RTC proposes an amendment to the City and District's agreement to provide for the two-year pilot Grant Writer Project and clarify current staffing and cost-sharing provisions for the staffing of this project (Attachment 1).
