SUBJECT:

Recommendation

Adopt a resolution authorizing the Controller to continue payments on The Peninsula Library System /CIP Agreement from July 1, 2002 through September 30, 2002. Contractor will be paid a flat quarterly rate of $57,631, for three months for a total contract obligation of $403,231.

 

Background

The Peninsula Library System/Community Information Program (CIP) contract has a term ending June 30, 2002. CIP maintains and make available information about all health and human resources, through publications and the web-site, to county leaders, providers, educators and the general public. The access to up-to-date information and materials is essential for all who work to improve the quality of life in San Mateo County.

 

Discussion

The FY 2002-03 funding levels for contracted services are uncertain at this point in the development of the Agency's budgets, which could possibly lead to negotiating a new Agreement with CIP. However, it is important to assure the continuity of services, therefore a continuing resolution is requested at this time.

This Continuing Resolution has been reviewed and approved as to form by County Counsel.

 

Vision Alignment

The contract with the Peninsula Library System keeps the commitment of Leaders work together across boundaries to preserve and enhance our quality of life and goal number 23: Leaders throughout the County provide the impetus for broader regional solutions in land use, housing, childcare, education, health and transportation. The contract contributes to this commitment and goal as the Community Information Program continues to develop, maintain and make available information about all health and human resources, through publications and the web-site, to county leaders, providers, educators and the general public. This access to up-to-date information and materials is essential for all who work to improve the quality of life in San Mateo County.

 

Fiscal Impact

The term of the continuing resolution is from July 1, 2002 through September 30, 2002. The total payments to contractor will not exceed $57,631 for this three-month period. There is no impact to Net County Cost.
